Such scenarios are not uncommon but soon this is all going to be passe and thing of past. Developers are starting to recognise the needs of their prospects and are looking at ways and means to address their needs, engage them and lead them towards making the buying decision using new-age experiential marketing techniques and installation-based experiences. We bring to you ten hottest trends in real estate marketing.
Aerial Masterplan 3D View
Bird's eye or the aerial views of a yet-to-be-constructed property gives your prospects a clear understanding of the designing intent, usage of exterior spaces, landscape elements, road network, surroundings and most importantly connectivity. These are created using advanced 3D design tools and are to the scale representation of a development. To create interest a lot of graphically generated special effects can be given on these in various lighting moods. Primarily used in most forms of communication material.
Exterior CG Renderings
Exterior renderings are 3D views of your property from an eye level usually focusing on elevation facade and the landscape elements in the development. The detailing is done as per actual CAD files making sure that these look just same as the actual constructed building would. To top it all, even the facade material specifications, colors, glass type and plantation in the landscape elements is representation of the actual plan. Exterior renderings make sure that the towers look imposing and villa units warm and inviting to the prospects. Lighting moods can be decided basis what looks the best in a brochure, a hoarding, a newspaper advertisement or in online media.
Interior CG Renderings
Interior renderings are the 3D views of various areas of the units you wish to sell. These views are complete with furniture, furnishings and light fittings etc. and give a true representation of the spaces and specifications of materials in terms of walls, ceilings and flooring. Primarily used in communication material like brochures and advertisements for the purpose of showcasing lifestyle.
Isometric Views
Isometric views are top-level perspectives of any typical unit in your development complete with interiors laid out as per the unit layout plan. To make these more meaningful the angle chosen is carefully decided to showcase the maximum utilisation of spaces inside any unit. The specifications of interiors in terms of flooring type in various rooms, wall cladding etc. are as per actual offering and similarly the layout is also actual representation of a 2D floor plan.
Curved Screen Theatres
Gigantic screens with curve from 100 degrees to 180 degrees for an immersive viewing experience are the next in thing to showcase your development animations and walkthroughs. Powered through high end multiprojection technology that gives a pixel perfect image combined with state-of-the-art 5.1 channel audio from the likes of Bose and JBL gives an absolute immersive and cinematic viewing experience.

The screens can be start at 20 ft and can go as huge as 50 ft.
Augmented Reality
Let the real interact with virtual and create an environment wherein both can be seen together. Augmented reality has endless applications in real estate. All you need is a smart phone a tab or even a PC with webcam to see the magic. The most common examples are conversion of 2D to 3D ideally suited to view floor plans and video & image overlays combined with interactive actions suited for newspaper ads, brochures and other printed communication material. Memoir zones wherein your prospects pictures gets clicked in virtual environs of your property or even standing right next to the celebrity brand ambassador is another application of augmented reality, which finds great acceptability in events to drive footfalls.
Holographic Imagery
Show the Magic in Thin Air. Holographic Projections create an impact with Volumetric Virtual Formations happening right in front of the prospect and come in form of small format Displays and extra‐large sizes. Using high definition video projection, near invisible holographic film coupled with some clever lighting and of course amazing 3D content companies can connect with their audience in a way never seen before.

Spill proof, scratch proof and designed to work in all kinds of lighting conditions these can be packaged as kiosks, tables and wall units.
Smart Scale Models

The zone lighting is controlled through iPads or touch pads straight away. The USP of these smart models is their lighting, finesse and usability by the sales team.

Bill and Brian are joined by musician/singer-songwriter Tyler Plazio from Soldiers of Suburbia (soldiersofsuburbiaband.com) to talk about Nirvana's In Utero (1993, DGC). A couple years after the enormous success of their major label debut, Nevermind, the band and frontman Kurt Cobain felt pressure to craft a worthy follow up that also represented their artistic vision. They hired producer Steve Albini, kept recording time to a minimum, and attempted to maintain their punk ideals with a noisy and concise album. Tyler talks about discovering the band as a young guitar player after a bandmate told him to cover "Smells Like Teen Spirit." He also reveals how In Utero was a bit of a grower for him but is now one of his favorite albums. Bill, Brian, and Tryle also discuss Krist Novoselic's vision for the album, Dave Grohl's awesome drumming, Cobain's views on gender, and much more as we make our way through the album track by track!

I want to thank you for the kind words and comments from last week's post. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me that you take the time to read what I have to say and leave sweet comments and messages.
I forgot to mention something in that post that I think is really important. Use your own judgement when it comes to making decisions about where you are going to live, send your kids to school, and everything else. It seems like when you find out where you are going, people love to tell you what to do.
Don't live in that neighborhood.
That school is not as good as this one. (I never trust the school rating websites either, but that is for another post.)
That commute is terrible.
You know, there is a better place to do xyz…
They are coming from a good place, but they are not you. This is your experience. You know more about what you are looking for when it comes to finding a place that you want to live in and what kind of lifestyle you have than anyone else. We have always done our own thing and made our own choices and have never regretted it. As convenient as it is to crowdsource, this might be one of those times when you trust your own instincts more. PSA over.
Last week, I talked to you about how I feel about moving. I love it.
But if I am being perfectly honest with you, the actual move can be a pain in the ass.
We are 3 weeks out from moving to Cape Cod (our 9th move?) and deep in the throes of the process. I thought that I would share some tips that I have picked up over the years of military moves.
1. Purge, purge, and purge some more. I play a weird little game with myself every time we move. I try to make sure that we have less stuff than we did the previous move. I am particulary proud of our last move – 8,500lbs.
For me more stuff means more to take care of, more to unpack, and more to move again. I am fairly relentless, if I don't use it or love it, it goes. If we have boxes with multiple moving stickers on them that have never been opened, chances are good we don't need it. (FYI – A lot of Goodwills will come to your home and pick up.)
2. Go through your drawers and put the little things in Ziploc bags. The movers just can drop the bags into the box, and when you are unpacking, you can just dump it back in. Everything is together. This is especially helpful for junk drawers, utensils, underwear drawers.
3. Speaking of utensils, make sure that you check every closet, drawer, and cabinet to make sure that everything was packed. We had our utensil drawer missed once and we unpacked every single box hoping to find the forks. We never did. Our realtor was kind enough to go back to the house and send us the drawer that we forgot about. We also missed a shed once. That time we left a bbq and a lawnmower for the new owners. Once you sign off, it is not the responsibility of the movers, so make sure to double check.
4. About a month out, make appointments to have the utilities turned over or turned on. It is nice to have Internet on move in day, and not a few weeks later. It can be hard to get cable appointments during moving season. Also, call your current providers and let them know your move out day to turn off what you already have in your current home.
5. If you have school age children, make sure that you know what you need to register them at their new school (and sports if they are playing in the fall). It is easier to get physicals and their vaccinations before you leave than when you get to your new town. Most school districts have everything you need online or will send you the paperwork. This has always made the transition so much easier for me.
While I am filling out the paperwork, I also find a pediatrician and dentist and call to make sure that they are taking new patients. I keep a small file folder with all of our important papers in it and carry it with me.
6. Treat your movers well. This one should go without saying, but after some conversations lately, I am a little turned off by the way some people treat the people moving their belongings. I have had really good luck with movers. I keep the fridge stocked with drinks, have breakfast and lunch for them each day, and trust them to do their job. The nicer I am to my movers, the faster and easier the move is. They probably aren't going to pack your things exactly as you would, but they are professionals. They pack and move people every day. They know what they are doing.
7. The night before the movers come to pack, I move us out of the house and into a hotel. I pack everyone for the road trip like we are going on vacation and pack up the car. It is too hard to do it while there is a moving crew in the house and I tend to get overwhelmed. Now, I do everything before they get there and it is more fun for everyone. And everything that doesn't need to get packed is already with you. Only one person needs to be in the house with the movers, so one of us will take the kids to the hotel pool or do something during the day.
8. Don't forget about your pets. I will be sending my dog to doggie day care. I don't want her under everyone's feet in and in the way. Also, make sure that the hotels or guest houses that you are staying at take animals. Moving can be traumatic for animals, so try to keep them as stress free as possible.
9. Same with the kids. I really play up the "adventure" aspect of moving instead of the leaving part. I unpack their rooms first and get them settled into the house before I tackle the other rooms. I make sure that the movers put their bikes on the truck last, so that they are the first things off of the truck when we get to our new house. The kids can ride bikes and play while the movers are moving us in.
10. Tape the remotes and cords to the backs of the televisions and electronics. And it is a really good idea to hand carry the "parts" box (the screws, bolts, and all of the little pieces to put everything back together). It is funny how many people have told me that is the one box that has gotten lost.
11. Pack a box of things that you know that you will need the first night. I make sure that there are clean sheets for all of the beds (I put the folded sheets into a trash bag), shower curtain, some towels, and a bottle of wine. Just kidding about the wine. (Not really. Have lots of wine.)
12. When it comes to unpacking, just get it done. We usually are "pictures on the walls" by day 3. Drawing it out makes me feel less settled, and once everything is unpacked and moved in, you can start to explore and enjoy your new town.
13. When we get to the new house, I try to get there a day before the movers come. I clean as much as I can. Inside of drawers, fridge, shelves, etc. After everything is moved in, unpacked, and put together, I treat myself to a professional cleaning. It is so nice to have a clean house after all of the craziness of a big move.
14. Be flexible. Stuff happens. Movers are late. Houses aren't ready. Things break. Moving is going to cost more than you think it does. It isn't the end of the world. Don't sweat the little things. It isn't worth it in the long run.
15. Have fun. Every moving season I think that my husband and I are going to get divorced. (We never do.) Being able to laugh and have fun with the move is so much better than being stressed out and unhappy. Everyone looks to me to see how I am dealing. My kids, my husband, the movers. If I am snapping at everyone and miserable, everyone else is going to be too. Take it in stride.
What moving tips do you have? Please feel free to share in the comments. I'd love to hear them!
And if you know anyone moving soon, please share this post with them!

Morgan didn't mean to do anything wrong that day. Actually, she meant to do something right. But her kind act inadvertently played a role in a deadly tragedy. In order to move on, Morgan must learn to forgive—first someone who did something that might be unforgivable, and then, herself. But Morgan can't move on. She can't even move beyond the front door of the apartment she shares with her mother and little brother. Morgan feels like she's underwater, unable to surface. Unable to see her friends. Unable to go to school. When it seems Morgan can't hold her breath any longer, a new boy moves in next door. Evan reminds her of the salty ocean air and the rush she used to get from swimming. He might be just what she needs to help her reconnect with the world outside. Underwater is a powerful, hopeful debut novel about redemption, recovery, and finding the strength it takes to face your past and move on.
I really enjoyed reading about these characters, especially Morgan. I loved the character development that went through with Morgan. I always love comparing characters during the beginning and ending of the books and Morgan really changes throughout the story. And what I love most about it is that she actually wants to change. It takes a few different people to really motivate her, but in the end, Morgan is all about her growth and change! That definitely made reading this book a bit more interesting... ;)
As for the plot, it was also something I enjoyed. The concept of the new boy next door, things changing around her, it all made for a great plot. There were also so many things that the readers don't find out about until they move further along in the story and that really built for more interest into the story and kept me reading!
I gave this book 5 stars because I really enjoyed it! The character, character development, and plot were all awesome.
I'm a SoCal native and high school writing instructor. I currently live in Los Angeles and can usually be found huddled over my laptop in coffeehouses or swimming in the ocean. My debut YA contemporary novel, UNDERWATER, will be out 1/12/16 from Macmillan/FSG and 4/7/16 Macmillan Children's UK. I love all books and all genres. While I do keep track of all the books I've read here, I generally don't do ratings or reviews.


text: JanCarol Posted January 24, 2018 One more comment about the feeling I got in the doctor's surgery. It felt like I was in the marketing arm of various medical device and pharmaceutical companies. Posters on the wall for dentures and free hearing tests, weight loss programs and "women's health," blah blah. At least there were no drug posters - I remember the Pfizer "Nerve Pain" poster I found in another surgery that was so offensive. Even the info form I was filling out asked me questions about "maintenance" I have had done like PAP smears and mammograms (Peter Goetzsche says mammograms probably do more harm than good). I laughed when I saw that I had one line for "all your medications and supplements." LOL my supplement list is a 2 page Excel document! So I just listed medications. And one line for "your complete medical history," egads. Hubby laughed at that, too, so I just put down hysterectomy and thyroidectomy. It was a new office so I didn't list the "bipolar" thingy, but did say: DO NOT GIVE ME ANY SEROTONIN BASED DRUGS (because I was there for pain, and there was a good chance they would try and Tramadol me). As I sat there, with these loud Ad posters on the wall - and some Current Affairs show on TV blaring at me, it was shocking that people put up with this stuff all the time. It's even worse in the USA where you get all the Direct to Consumer drug ads. That would make me throw my TV away forever. In Shaman Circle, one of the ladies asked me about my own practice, Nobody drums for me - so how do I practice shamanism? I'd have to say the first thing I do is eliminate all these chaotic awful controlling and manipulative messages. They assault and confuse my senses. (I got a similar assault when we went to see the new Star Wars movie, and the ads beforehand came blaring at me in full big-screen colour and 3D sound - egads!) There's a lot to be said for a simple life. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Event: The Brunei Ministry of Health has confirmed 136 cases of COVID-19 in Brunei Darussalam.
Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) has announced that it will operate weekly flights to Kuala Lumpur in May 2020.

First of all, I hope that everyone had a great Mother's Day.
So what happens when you cross your life long search for elephants with a search of a life time for gold and Jewels?
Well, when PJ was at the Zoo, he found elephant walking sticks that could be used on the hunt for Forrest Fenn's Treasure.
However, when your on a treasure hunt or at a Zoo, don't forget to smell the roses like this elephant at the San Antonio Zoo.

Father, how can we witness Christ nowadays?
– It's very simple. Especially today, when Christ has so many adversaries. My dear ones, what we lack today is love for our neighbour – and THAT is our "homework": "Do you say you love Me? Then give to the poor…" You know, it's like Christ is telling us: "We will meet again, and it is I Who will ask you questions, and it will be more difficult for you then".
And there's no need for the world to know that I'm giving this shirt, for example, to someone; or a penny; or that I'm feeding a dog.
Let me tell you what happened to me once. A man was smoking on a sidewalk one day and there was this stray dog that was looking at his hand; he was following the movements of his hand – he thought the man was eating. Poor animal! – what I would have given him, since I could see the real problem! But I'm saying this about a man – as little as you have, give him something. Even if you don't have much yourself, either. At least live in that state of mind, in that willigness to live the moment as you should do.
How would anyone dare to say that he did not know that he should have given to his neighbour – that he should have fed the hungry one?
You hurt someone? Let me tell you this: you hurt Christ. It doesn't matter if that person is full of scab! or sins – you should know this: he is not there, near you, for nothing! There is a reason for everything. So you either avoid the situation, or you put it to good use. Therefore, life is worth living it right [every minute of it].
I once met someone – he had 56 suits. He would not have had time to wear them all!… For [the Scripture says] "You, fool, tonight your soul will be required of you". If everything you have, you have FROM ME – since no hair on your head will move without my will -, well, I have also given you this command: take care of the poor.
Fr. Arsenie Papacioc in a televised programme on Romanian Orthodox TV channel, "Trinitas", today, December 31, 2010

Hmm....when I mixed the rice with green furikake was quite greenish but when I look at the photos wasn't that GREEN :( *Sigh..... Oh well, as usual used cling wrap to shape the rice as froggy and combine the oval shape HK face (white rice only) Not happy with the hands as it stick to my fingers when I try to arrange into the bento box! Argh.....
The pink bow was made from rice too! I mixed with Mizkan Colourful Osushi Pink and used cling wrap to pressed in onto HK cutter mould for the shape. Freehand scissor cut all the details ^_^
I loved the strawberry kitty idea so whenever I saw strawberry will try to made them ^_^ The nori details using puncher to punch out the nori. Some grapes and checker apple.
Phew.....managed to finished it but when taking photos I'm not quite happy with the hands!! No time for shaping those hands =_=" Well, I hope you will like today's lunch bento ^_^ Cheers!

Hi, I guess what I am asking then is if something can be added to the spec that will basically create a link from the copy to the original whose sole purpose is to have different metadata associated with the link than the original resource. There may be a problem here with live properties but maybe it's up to the people who would be using this property. I guess it would look something like this --> >> Request: MKRESOURCE /~whitehead/dav/spec08.ref HTTP/1.1 Host: www.ics.uci.edu Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" Content-Length: xxx <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:"> <D:set> <D:prop> <D:resourcetype><D:directref-metadata/></D:resourcetype> <D:reftarget> <D:href>/i-d/draft-webdav-protocol-08.txt</D:href> </D:reftarget> </D:prop> </D:set> </D:propertyupdate> >> Response: HTTP/1.1 201 Created A specific case I can think of where this would be useful is if you had image data but had different operations on this image data depending on the resource. Like you might want to have different scaling operations applied to the image data so you could look at it at different resolutions for each of the different resources. (In this case, the live property DAV:getContentLength might be changed to reflect the different content that was being returned, or maybe not depending on what the user of the property wants). What do you think? - Adam -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]On Behalf Of Clemm, Geoff Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 12:05 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: RE: Issue: BIND and MKRESOURCE Redirecting GET and not PROPFIND would produce some rather surprising results, since a variety of live properties describe aspects of the content (e.g. DAV:getcontentlength, DAV:resourcetype), which is why a redirect reference is defined as acting uniformly across all operations. The DAV:source property is just informative ... setting or modifying it on a resource does not modify the result of operations applied to that resource. So there is currently no interoperable way to produce the result you have in mind. Cheers, Geoff -----Original Message----- From: Adam Freeman [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 3:23 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Issue: BIND and MKRESOURCE Hi, I am a new subscriber to this list and have just started checking out WebDAV. I've been reviewing the memos for BIND and MKRESOURCE for redirecting references. What I would like to do with WebDAV is create a new resource that references an original resource but with different metadata (MKRESOURCE can be used to do this). The problem is MKRESOURCE will make it so that a redirect (302) is sent back to the client but I would like to send back the original resource bits. This is pretty much what BIND is supposed to do except that BIND also returns back the same metadata information for the bound uri as the original. It makes sense to me that a DAV server could *either* send back a 302 or the original bits given the resourcetype of the resource ... ? I managed to hack this by creating a soft link on the server using ln -s and then I could have different metadata for the reference than the original but have both return the original bits. For example, wh24.jpg wh24.ref -> wh24.jpg where wh24.jpg and wh24.ref have different metadata on the DAV server. Also, is the <link><src/><dst/></link> property supposed to do what I am trying to do. If so, I couldn't figure out how to use it properly. I tried placing the property in the root collection like this --> <prop><source><link><src>http://server/wh24.jpg</src><dst>http://server/wh24 .ref</dst></link></source></prop> but when I try to access wh24.ref on the server I get a 404.

HUNDREDS of volunteers are getting getting ready to brave the snow and freezing temperatures and sleep rough to raise the plight of homeless people in the city.
The fundraisers will cram into the large car park in Allcock Street, Digbeth, tonight and will sleep on plastic bags and use cardboard boxes as shelter.
The aim of the mass sleep out is to raise awareness, and money through sponsorship, for the thousands of young people who turn to the streets every year and are taken in and helped by St Basils, the homeless charity.
Despite sub zero temperatures, everyone has been urged to bring extra warm clothing and a sleeping bag. They will also have access to first aid, a canteen and security on hand.
Adam Yosef, chair of the Saltley Gate Peace Group and one of the participants, said: "In my early twenties, I spent quite a few weeks sleeping rough on the streets of London.
"I was going through a bad time and I thought escaping my problems would be the ideal solution and an opportunity to start afresh. I couldn't have been more wrong.
"Although it was one of the loneliest and saddest times of my life, it enlightened me to a daily struggle for thousands of people in this country.
"I had no money or food and thought I was going to die on the streets until I found my way into the doors of the Salvation Army who, with the assistance of a local shelter, helped me get back on my feet and get home.
"It's because of that experience, I feel it's vital to support St Basil's in Birmingham, who help young people get off the streets and make the most of their lives."
The event, which is supported by Birmingham City Council, starts at 6pm and finishes tomorrow morning.

Dear Editor:
Nicole St. Pierre
Dear Editor:
I am very sorry, but I don't have a story to tell. I know that I told you that I would, but I don't, and I am sorry.
No excuse is good enough. I could tell you that I have forgotten what I told you I would do in the first place, but that would be a lie; I could tell you that I forgot the date I told you I would have something, and that would be true, but still not adequate.
I could tell you that I felt, for a long time, as if I was swimming suspended in a large glass bowl of water and everyone else was watching me. That I felt as though I was speaking English and everyone around me was speaking a new language to which I had not yet converted. That it is hard to write stories in a language you do not speak, or when your head is submerged. That now I feel chilled and strangely off-center and the joints of my fingers are too stiff to do what they are supposed to do.
I could tell you that my bones filled up with concrete and my skin is made of rice paper and if I try to move I will break all to pieces and I've got no one to clean up the mess. Perhaps this is graphic, perhaps this is dramatic, but you cannot deny that I could tell you this and yet it would not be good enough.
I could tell you that this has all been a process in which a haze has gradually descended, as if I am slowly, slowly, slowly falling asleep, but my eyes have not yet closed completely. Voices are far away, images blur behind my eyes, new beginnings grow and move inside of my imagination and I am enveloped by their warm potential, but I jolt awake again just as quickly, and the process starts over. I have been falling asleep for about nine months. In the time that you could make a human, I cannot even manage to fall asleep or stay awake.
I began to fall asleep when he kissed me on the forehead and walked away, but laying both the blame and the credit at only his heavy feet would be incorrect. If I am going to write you a story, the credit will be mine. I have always said that I do not need anyone else in order to live my life, which is true, but to tell you why I have been falling asleep, I need him, I suppose, and that pisses me off, but it's true, and so. I began to fall asleep when he kissed me on the forehead and walked away. Unless I am mistaken, a kiss from a man like that is supposed to be what wakes you up; yet, since his mouth touched my skin, I have not stopped falling asleep.
In the summer, when he was already long gone and the dust settling back down on the road, the sun cooked my skin until I turned brown, like gingerbread, and my hair gold, like the odd triangle boxes of Toblerone bars.
I knew that he must love me when he silently and without grandeur bought me a Toblerone bar at the grocery store when I was not looking, because I do not have them often and their strange shape makes me happy. I knew, then, that must have been a sign; it must have, right? But this was long ago, before the kiss, before the leaving, before the sun turned me into baked molasses, and I digress.
In the summer after he left I got drunk for the first time. I could tell you that. I could tell you that I went to a bar in the middle of Baltimore where the air smelled like the harbor and I thought about the last time I had been in the city; he and I had laid on our backs on a boat in the middle of the water, quiet, alone, and watched the fourth of July fireworks while, on the deck beneath us, other revelers played beer pong and danced to someone's iPod.
I could tell you that, that summer after he left, I told my friends at the bar that I don't get drunk and that alcohol bores me, which is entirely accurate, and was, then, until the first shot of cinnamon whiskey shot a streak of high-proof fire down my throat, and I dared a companion to take another, because he was woozy and I was fine. "I'm smaller than you," I said, "and I could take it."
That boy turned around and came back with another and it burned and I sat down and suddenly time was slow and my hands were very, very pale, and when I went to the bathroom I could not recall if there had always been four stalls, or if two had been added since the last time I needed to use the restroom. The music became so loud that, when I came back to the table, that boy and I, we had to sit close and we had to lean in to hear one another say very important things. I buzzed because this was intriguingly unlike the he I had known, the he who had left before, and because if two shots of cinnamon whiskey in quick succession don't buzz you somewhere, you're made of steel.
Later, I turned to endow this new he with the gift of more of my snark and he planted a kiss on my forehead and then I was sober again and in the bathroom stall a moment later, having lost my sea legs. I touched that spot, and I hated him. The first place that boy kissed me was the last place that he had kissed me, and suddenly I was again in a gray and rainy parking lot, full of cavities, cold. A week or two later, I sat in the dark, humid car of this new boy who knew nothing of my drowsiness, and I told him that I could not do it, and he said okay, and neither could he, and we said okay, and he drove me home and just like that, the new he expired, and the old he was left again to pace around inside my hazy mind.
I have had two last kisses on my forehead, and neither one has woken me up; I could tell you that. Perhaps I should grow bangs as a preventative measure, so that maybe I will be able to stop falling asleep. I could make that joke, but it would not be a good one, and would likely become a darling I had to kill later, in revisions.
Anyway, I could tell you that story, but it would not be very interesting. I could tell you that every time I feel myself falling asleep I try to yell, "Wake up! You have never needed anyone else to wake yourself up."
And one day, I walked into a restaurant and I saw the back of his head for the first time in five months and I walked right by and stood in the bathroom and looked at myself with my tissue skin and concrete bones and I thought, I have been holding on so tightly, and he has been letting go for so long. What, then, is there to hold?
And I walked to the booth where he sat and I took the place across from him and he returned the DVDs I had lent him five months before and I did not give him back the sweatshirt he gave me a year prior because it was more mine than his, at that point, and in the future I may need it for burning. I looked at his stupid beautiful face and the places on it where I used to touch him and I curled my fingers up between my legs so that I wouldn't, and I said,
"You said we may have ruined something special, and that may be true, and that is very sad. We wanted to be friends, but you gave up on me, and now I don't. I may forgive you someday, but right now, I do not. You must be an eternal optimist for believing that you will always find someone who you can ruin something special with.
I would have done anything to make you happy, and maybe that was my mistake."
He looked at me like I spoke to him in the terrible language of cannibals or death; like I had slapped him on his stupid beautiful face. I did not want to slap him or speak to him with knives on my tongue or shut that door I had thrown open so wide; I did not want to tell him those things, but my mouth had sewn itself shut for so long that it happened anyway. Maybe the whiskey was catching up to me again; maybe the water had drained from my tank and I could see and hear everything without a single blur. Before I knew that I had said it, I had said it, and he said, "Okay," in that way that he said things which I knew meant that it was not okay, but because it was him, you would pretend to believe it anyway. And he left, and I left, and I sat in my car in the parking lot of the restaurant and I placed my head on the steering wheel and I shut my eyes and I thought, I am not tired.
My feet feel heavy when I walk around and this winter seems like it will never end but I know that it will. Sadness drained away but Anger has been a tall, dark man who came and sat on my chest and stayed for a while. I get sick often but I get better and when I get better I don't want to spend my whole day in bed because I don't want to waste the sunlight. I will write again one day when the stories come, but I'm very sorry.
I don't have anything for you today. I can't think of a single thing to say.

Garlic Roasted Salmon and Brussels Sprouts
This recipe is from Eating Well.com. I made it last night and we loved it. Brussels sprouts are a favorite vegetable around here, and we love salmon. The garlic, wine, and oregano really flavor the fish and veg perfectly. The bonus is that it was fast and easy to make. I had frozen brussels sprouts on hand so that's what I used. I thawed them in advance in a colander, to make sure they were nice and dry before I roasted them. I also halved the recipe because I only had 1 lb of salmon and there are just 2 of us.
14 large cloves garlic, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
6 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced
3/4 cup white wine, preferably Chardonnay
2 pounds wild-caught salmon fillet, skinned, cut into 6 portions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Mince 2 garlic cloves and combine in a small bowl with oil, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Halve the remaining garlic and toss with Brussels sprouts and 3 tablespoons of the seasoned oil in a large roasting pan. Roast, stirring once, for 15 minutes.
Add wine to the remaining oil mixture. Remove the pan from oven, stir the vegetables and place salmon on top. Drizzle with the wine mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.

If you'd like to include your comments regarding Orca3D, send an email to email@example.com. Don't forget to include your website address, if you'd like a link back to your site
Orca3D is used extensively right from the first hull sketch, to monitor and optimise displacement, hull coefficients and areas curves. We use Orca3D's Holtrop analysis to calculate resistance and determine engine power and optimum speed range. We have found excellent correlation between Orca3D's Holtrop results, tank testing and deployment feedback of our ships in service, and are very confident in these results.
We assign weights to fitout and general arrangement components from early on using Orca3D weight and cost features. These are refined and updated as the design progresses. We assign weights to all structure components as they are developed in Rhino, and thereby keep extremely accurate running weight and CG control.
I have known the developers of Orca3d for close to 30 years. What is important is not the long link that I have to them, but the vast amount of experience they have had developing software for Naval Architects and Yacht Designers. This group was among the first to appreciate the advantages of NURBS in the development of fair hulls. They did so in technical papers on the subject as well as in the software they developed. And it was all a period where others were still using less controllable objects.
Unfortunately their first software and the sophisticated hardware (for the day) that it took to run were much more expensive than this then young Naval Architect could afford. Though even in those days I knew them and their work I grudgingly purchased a significantly less expensive well known software. And I grew to hate it. I never felt like I was able to craft a hull to meet my planned specifications. What I did do was get tired of trying when I had reached a point of 'good enough'. Luckily after only a few years of frustration the cost of software and the hardware had come down. I jumped to their software and have used it moving along with them as new platforms and versions developed.
Building on top of Rhino has allowed them to create a whole new generation of hull development tools including the best features of the past along with a seeming endless array of new possibilities. It has also allowed them to focus even more on the Naval Architectural needs of their clients. Orca3d currently offers a great number of improvements and utility features over products previously available and it grows with each new release. The tools are there to help build the hull shape you want quickly and easily. That hull can be as simple as you like, or as complex as necessary and the final geometry will not only look nice on the screen but can be readily analyzed to assure that it is both 'fair' and buildable.
You can also evaluate the results with their suite of performance, weight, stability and other tools. I have found that even outside of boat design they have provided many new and useful controls that add to Rhino's overall functionality on all kind of projects.
Beyond the tools themselves the developers at Orca3d have always offered great support whether it's understanding the program itself or helping you to figure out the best way to perform a necessary task. And that is probably the bottom line. Orca3d is software designed for Naval Architects and yacht designers by a group of practicing Naval Architects. They understand not just how to write software code, but what tasks need to be done and how a design professional will likely want to do them. Often that kind of experience and sensibility is a rare thing.
The hydrostatics have been tested here against FastShip and for consistency when switching units (I use both imperial and metric) and there are no flaws that I have found.
Previously I had been designing on another yacht design software package. Although it was very good yacht design software, it did not do everything that I needed it to do and therefore I required a 2D AutoCAD software for working drawings plus a rendering software for presentation. For rendering I used Rhino as it is superbly user friendly and very versatile. Once I found I could use Orca with Rhino it meant that I no longer needed any other software. Orca took care of the naval architecture/hull lines, stability, hydrostats and Rhino took care of rendering and 2D drawings. This made life so much simpler and I have been very happy with the accuracy and the hydrostatic data output from Orca for my boat designs. It wasn't long before I transferred all my files over and now solely use Rhino/Orca3D. I wouldn't use anything else.
The backup and support has been absolutely superb with prompt responses to any questions I have had allowing me to get back to work very quickly on the occasional times I have run into difficulty.
I think Rhino/Orca3D is a superb package and certainly has put a lot of enjoyment back into the design process. Easy to use, accurate and versatile. The data from our as-built boats concurs extremely well with the design data so we know the accuracy is right on. When we can take measurements off the drawings and compare them to the boats being built and be within a millimetre, it certainly gives us confidence in the software. We do some very complex designs and the accuracy really does astound me sometimes.
We regularly measure and weigh the boats as they float and compare that back to the design and once again the results are very accurate. I can't really ask for much more than has been delivered with this software and have full confidence in it.
Orca3D has been very convenient for quick Displacement versus Curves of Form analysis, and has proven to be a great add-on to Rhino3D for our use.
I have been using the Rhino 5.0 plugin Orca3D for several years for hydrostatics, hull model fairing and analysis, as well as for stability & flotation study for new J/Boat projects. It is a great companion tool for yacht design and the folks at Orca3D are always very helpful."
If you are a marine user of Rhino then Orca3D will make your life easier. Orca3D is intuitive with helpful video tutorials, which got us up to speed quickly. We find its many features automate and keep our work flowing smoothly. It makes quick work of Hydrostatics and Stability calculations, giving us logical choices with radio buttons and data entry fields for the variations needed. The reports are clean and easy to read. 5 stars from this office.
After learning to design using the most basic drafting tools I stepped into a new era and started using FastYacht in early 1985. I was very happy to migrate to Orca3D when it was first introduced which made it possible to continue to expand the scope of work I can undertake. Orca3D is an important tool in the development of all my designs.
As an avid user of FastShip, we also recognize the usefulness of OrcaMove features for precise control and very fast cross section updates. This feature was a great time saver in a reverse engineering project we recently performed. Without Orca3D, shifting between the flexibility of Rhino and the precision and response of an external hull shaper was tedious. With Orca3D, we could reach the entire toolbox of Rhino, like Sweep2 or NetworkSurf. Then with PointCloudSection and Orca3D Sections one can quickly compare the candidate to the target."
Orca3D is certainly the perfect companion for Rhinoceros, adding new commands and features that allow you to properly and efficiently deal with virtually any waterborne project.
Hydrostatics & Stability (H&S) built-in code is very robust, accurate and fast. You can analyze virtually any type of hull geometry, no matter whether it is a monohull or multihull of any kind, with a full degree of confidence on the results obtained.
Orca3D's different approach for processing Hydrostatic & Stability calculations makes it quite versatile and immune to usual 3D model flaws, i.e. when you finish with naked edges below waterline, or singular points (singularities) and so, allowing you to override this problem and get H&S calculations for your model, even when the hull is not perfectly modeled.
Not only is Orca3D user-friendly, completely integrated and stable in Rhino, but I've received first-class personalized service to back it up many times in the past, above and beyond what could be fairly expected. Thumbs up!

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The European Commission wants to speed up the digitisation of European industry and calls, inter alia, for an EU-wide network of "Digital Innovation Hubs". These will help small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, to develop digital innovations more easily. In cep's view, public funds should not be channelled into such "Hubs".
Online traders avoid offering their goods across borders for reasons of cost; consumers are discouraged from online purchases abroad due to uncertainty about their rights. The EU Commission wants to change this by way of the proposed Directive. With full harmonisation of the law on legal guarantees for online sales of goods, it wants to remove legal uncertainty in crossborder online trade and thereby encourage such trade.
In its Communication, the Commission sets out how heating and cooling can be made more efficient in the EU. In cep's view, the proposed rules on energy efficiency and the use of renewables are unsuitable for reducing CO2 emissions in a targeted and cost-effective way. Instead, all forms of heating and cooling should be included in the EU Emissions Trading System.
The EU Commission wants to facilitate the cross-border use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas storage facilities in order to complete the internal gas market and increase security of supply. For this purpose, cross-border gas infrastructure will be built and cooperation with third countries improved in order to remove barriers to global trade in LNG. In cep's view, this will increase security of supply for Member States that do not have their own LNG terminals and gas storage facilities.
The Commission wants to reduce red tape with regard to the preparation of prospectuses which have to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading. This will give companies easier access to the capital markets. In cep's view, however, the proposal will result in distortions of competition and legal uncertainty.
In future, the European Commission wants to ensure the compatibility of intergovernmental agreements with EU law by way of "ex-ante checks" on energy agreements between EU members and third countries. In cep's view, however, this would constitute drastic intervention in the sovereignty of the Member States.
A coordinated EU "position" for the forthcoming International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Assembly increases the likelihood that the concerns of European airlines will receive greater consideration at the Assembly. This is the conclusion reached by cep in its analysis of the EU Commission's proposal for a Decision to limit CO2 emissions in international aviation.
The EU has set out in a Communication how the European Union will implement the global climate change agreement concluded in Paris. In cep's view, the Paris Agreement is a necessary step towards effective climate protection. The Commission's assertion that the provisions on carbon leakage are "balanced" is, however, incorrect.
The initial steps by the EU towards regulating remote-controlled drones – provisions on design, production, maintenance and operation – contribute to aviation safety and increase legal and planning certainty. The European Commission should also submit similar proposals for autonomous aerial drones.


text: TORONTO -- The post-mortem of the past two Toronto Maple Leafs seasons hasnt been pretty. A Game 7 collapse against the Boston Bruins in 2013 gave way to 14-game plunge that cost them a trip to the playoffs in 2014. Starts havent been the Leafs problem. But with an eye on the finish, they hope off-season moves and a competitive training camp can help them write a different kind of ending. After signing David Booth, Daniel Winnik, Leo Komarov, Petri Kontiola and Mike Santorelli and trading for Matt Frattin, the Leafs have 17 forwards in training camp on one-way NHL contracts. Realistically, only 13 or 14 will make the team following Torontos most competitive pre-season in recent history. Thats exactly how general manager Dave Nonis likes it. "We wanted to approach this a different way: There are no spots open, and someones going to lose their job," Nonis said. "We need the competition in this group to be as high as its ever been if were going to maximize the skill level and the talent level that we have." After losing 12 of the final 14 games last season, the Leafs went through an off-season of change. Brendan Shanahan took over as president, Kyle Dubas and Brandon Pridham joined the front office as assistant GMs, and coach Randy Carlyle got to keep his job but had his assistants replaced. In terms of roster construction, the core of Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk, Joffrey Lupul and captain Dion Phaneuf remains. But after that group wore down as 2013-14 went on, Lupul sees off-season additions as one way to keep history from repeating itself. "I think that was pretty apparent down the stretch that we didnt quite have the energy it required down the stretch and other teams did," Lupul said. "I think having a little more depth and a little more balance up and down the lineup will certainly help that." Knowing no NHL team can ever be too deep, Nonis brought in a handful of forwards and defenceman Stephane Robidas in free agency and also traded for Frattin and defenceman Roman Polak to change that tune. His hope was to create a better bottom-six forward group so that Carlyle wouldnt have to keep his stars on the ice for so long. "If youve got a good third, fourth line you can take away some tough minutes from your top guys and give some rest for Phil, Tyler (Bozak) and James so when were up by a goal or two goals they dont have to be playing as much as they used to be," Winnik said. Even as Carlyle talked up a philosophical shift to three scoring lines and a fourth "energy" trio, the next few weeks will determine more than just a few of those spots. Theres a competition for the second-line right-winger job, and thats not the only position up for grabs. David Clarkson, whom Carlyle hopes can hit a "reset" button after a dreadfully disappointing first season with the Leafs, could be given every opportunity to snatch that spot, but first-round pick William Nylander could win it with an impressive showing. Also in the mix are Booth, Winnik, Komarov, Kontiola, Santorelli, Frattin, Troy Bodie, Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren and Trevor Smith, and there might be eight openings for those 10 players. Nonis wants this camp to resemble the lockout-shortened one in 2013 when players were sent to the minors who might not have been expecting it because of their contract status. "Theres no reason a player should have his spot on the team determined by a one-way contract or the size of his salary," Nonis said. "If we want to have success those players that have higher salaries that are supposed to be our better players have to perform. Theres no secret in that. Weve made it clear to our players and coaches that all the players need to compete and theres other players that will take their jobs if that doesnt happen." Carlyle said its up to him and his staff to pick the right players for those roles. If they choose wisely, it could pay dividends in March and April, the times in which the Leafs have most recently struggled. "The teams that go deep in the playoffs are playing four lines, theyre playing three and a half lines at least," Nonis said. "Injuries as well ... If we have injuries to our top six forwards we think were in a better position to replace those players and the competition in the lineup from one to probably 13 or 14 up front is as strong as its ever been." On defence, veterans Henrik Tallinder and Brendan Mikkelson are in camp on professional tryouts, and one or both lefties could make the team as the Leafs put more priority on balance. Bringing in Polak and Robidas also could have the desired effect of putting less wear and tear on Phaneuf, Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner and Cody Franson. "I think Id be the first to admit that at the end of maybe game 70 and game 75 youre feeling it when youre playing 27, 28 minutes," Phaneuf said. "I think it will help our whole defensive corps when you have two guys that can play minutes like that." Notes -- Robidas, who broke his right leg while in the playoffs with the Anaheim Ducks, hopes to be in the lineup for the Leafs regular-season opener Oct. 8 against the Montreal Canadiens. Robidas, 37, who signed a three-year contract on July 1, said he likely wouldnt be able to play in the pre-season until the final couple of games. Nonis said Robidas was on pace in his recovery and had not had a setback. ... Lupul (knee) and goaltender Jonathan Bernier (sports hernia and knee) reported being fully healthy and ready to go for the start of camp. ...

MOUNTAIN PLAY: The Music Man. Book, music and lyrics by Meredith Willson. Story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey. Directed by James Dunn, musical direction by Debra Chambliss, choreography by Rick Wallace. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre on Mt. Tamalpais, Mill Valley, CA. 415-383-1100 or www.MountainPlay.org. 2012 Season Performance Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10, 16(Sat) and 17. All shows start at 2:00 pm.
THE MUSIC MAN on the Mountain a winner.
The Music Man , the 99th Mountain Play production is the 30th directed by Bay Area icon James Dunn. He had planned to retire after the 100th season but medical problems expedited the departure. What a way to go with 76 trombones to lead the way and the opening performance graced with a perfect sunny day with nary a wisp of fog creeping over the mountain ridge.
The Music Man has been around for 55 years and it is still thrilling audiences. The Mountain Play's production is a real joy with a cast of 50 plus a live orchestra (musical director Debra Chambliss) behind the marvelous set by the always reliable Ken Rowland (his 25th for the company) with colorful storefronts that revolve revealing their interiors. As an added attraction, they even have a moving train for "Rock Island" the opening number by the traveling salesmen and a real horse to bring the "Wells Fargo wagon round the bend" and onto the stage apron.
The story is so well known that only a brief synopsis is needed. Notorious traveling salesman and con man Harold Hill (Robert Moorhead), invades the town of River City, Iowa to organize a boys' band thus to sell musical instruments and band uniforms. Alas, he knows nothing about music, and plans to skip town with the proceeds. He is aided and abetted by an old friend, Marcellus Washburn (Randy Nazarian), no longer a con man, who now lives in River City. Hill chases after Marian Paroo (Susan Zelinsky) the town librarian and part-time piano teacher who recognizes his con-game but passes up the chance to turn him in since her lisping younger brother Winthrop (Jeremy Kaplan) comes out of his introverted shell and charms us with his "Gary, Indiana" song that his 'girl friend' Amaryllis (Brigid O'Brien) as he anticipates learning to play his new trumpet and getting a band uniform with a "red strip running down the pant leg."
What is a girl to do when Harold Hill becomes her "White Knight?" Fall in love, of course to roué Harold Hill. He too, capitulates knowing that he will be caught by the Mayor and the local constabularies with the help of the town folk. Dunn has staged a hilarious chase scene without the benefit of autos!! Never fear, this musical has an exhilarating happy ending.
You certainly will remember all the other (mostly) loveable characters beginning with pompous, malapropism spouting Mayor George Shinn (Stephen Dietz) being suspicious of Hill. ("He's a raspberry seed in my dentures."). Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn (Sharon Boucher ) [don't you love the name?], the mayor's wife who would never read "Balzac." Daughter Zanetta Shinn (Christina Euphrat) secretly seeing Tommy Djilas (Adam Roy) a young man "from the wrong side of town." Then there is Mrs. Paroo, Marian's Irish mother (Gloria Wood) with an Irish brogue that would cut glass.
Other favorites are Eulalie's gossipy friends, The Pickalittle Ladies, and the four bickering businessmen /School board members that Hill has united into a Barbershop Quartet that sing in tricky counter-point.
Making comparisons with the fantastic movie version would be a disservice to this thoroughly enjoyable staging. Although Robert Morehead is very professional and has a pleasant singing voice, he doesn't quite have enough swagger and zip to make Professor Hill believable. Attractive Susan Zelinsky has a competent soprano voice that is just a bit too sharp to carry two major songs "My White Knight" and "Till There Was You."
The ensemble numbers that are a real joy as choreographer Rick Wallace competently moves his large cast about the stage with energy that is infectious. The corps de ballet are excellent dancers displaying their ability in the library, the old foot-bridge scenes and the "Shipoopi" number. In that scene Randy Nazarian puts on his best ham act, resembling Buddy Hackett from the movie, creating a real show-stopper as he leads the towns people with energy to burn. Further accolades are earned by the marvelous Babershop Quartet who weave in and out of the plot line garnering appreciative applause.
It will be difficult to pick which tune you will be humming when you leave this joyful production since you will have to choose from: "Iowa Stubborn" , "(Ya Got) Trouble", "Goodnight, My Someone", "Seventy-six Trombones", "Sincere", "The Sadder-But-Wiser Girl", "Pickalittle (Talk-a-Little)", "Goodnight Ladies", "Marian The Librarian", "My White Knight" and "The Wells Fargo Wagon", "Gary, Indiana", "Til There Was You" or the act two finale of "Seventy Six Trombones" accompanied by the Marin County Marching Band. Running time about 2 hours and 30 minutes with intermission.

Read the story from author, playwright and actor, Lori Sherritt-Fleming below and share your own story at artstarts.com/you
Where did art start for you?
Art started in my childhood home with crayons, paint by numbers, knitting needles, sandcastles, mud pies, pieces of cardboard to colour on. the Sunday night oldies show blaring through the upstairs speakers and picture books, read aloud every night before bed. Art was gathering my siblings, herding them into the upstairs bedroom and pressing 'record' on my dad's tape player, then giggling madly as we listened to our squeaky voices singing pop tunes. Art was unlimited and imaginative enough to know how to transform dried tea leaves and a little white glue into frame able, organic masterpieces. It was paying careful attention when my grandmother taught me how to do the Irish jig and still being able to do it today.
It was the telling and writing of stories, weekly visits to the library and a bookcase full of favourites that could be reread over and over. It was writing and directing skits at Brownies and presenting them on the church stage where we met. The first one I remember writing was one about aliens landing in our yard and how we had to learn how to communicate with them. In grade five, before I knew how to type, I wrote, produced, directed and starred in a play I wrote especially for my beloved teacher, Mrs. Lato. I remember using carbon copy paper to make copies of the hand written script (I'm giving away my age) and asking classmates to take on roles and show up at secret rehearsals at recess. I remember the enthusiasm with which people played the forest animals and the surprise and joy on Mrs. Lato's face when we performed Snow White and the Seven Dwarves for her and the Kindergarten class. I always strove to find artful moments and opportunities... always took every opportunity to dance, paint, sing, take photos. Art is part of my evolution, even today.

What is Fluxion?
Fluxion is a new program that combines social engineering and technology to trick users into giving up their log-in and password information. This program is a step above Wifiphisher, which lacks the ability to verify WPA passwords. Fluxion takes all the work out of hacking using a variety of processes that quickly and easily convince users to provide their Wi-Fi password.
Fundamentally, or in terms of many aspects of its basic framework, it is similar to previous developments but uses a twin access point in combination with handshake capture and integrated jamming functions. These can work together so that aspects of hardware and software operations that normally take place in the standard functionality of the user account are overwhelmed.
What Recent Developments And Potentials Should I Be Concerned With?
The extent that Fluxion has developed in combination with its accessibility and ease of use online is the most concerning. A search of Google or other major internet search engines will reveal numerous instructional pages that can be downloaded. These instructions provide anyone with a little Internet skill to begin a new career as a cyber thief. These sites provide public access to a range of resources that make it possible for anyone to violate user privacy and accounts and steal login information.
The program initiated as an improvement over a successful attack and was rewritten, so both the structure and coding have been strategically optimized in addition to its user-friendliness and availability.
How Does Fluxion Work?
Fluxion uses what is known as a WPA handshake to affect the functionality of a login page as it attempts to gain receipt of user information. It can affect how the user's entire script is controlled as the original network is jammed, and a clone is created with the same name, attempting to persuade the user into making an unsafe connection under the guise of a familiar one. It often requests that the user allow time for their router or firmware to reload or be updated. This is just a ploy; the real objective is to steal sensitive information.
Fluxion is an EvilAP attack tool, written with a combination of Bash and Python, that is used for MiTM attacks on WPA Wireless networks. Online sources report on Fluxion as a potentially beneficial tool while touting its features similar to how potential improvements in business functions could be experienced through software installation. Hack Insight claims that the use of Fluxion allows network scanning, handshake capture, web interface use, imitating original access points, the de-authentication of all users on a network, capturing and redirecting of all DNS requests, captive portal launching, password verification processes, and automatic program termination following the recording of a viable password. Technology and strategies applied include the launching of FakeAP instances for access point emulation, fake DNS server launching, and MDK3 process spawning.
What's Been Happening In Research And Development?
Research and development (R&D) regarding Fluxion and related computer software security processes have involved multiple studies and patents in the past year. At the 12th International Conference on Recent Innovations in Science, Engineering, and Management, researchers reported having developed a highly successful cracking system by using Fluxion as their foundation. They explained that the damage that can be done with new hacking software using Fluxion demands better software processes in addition to network strategies in currently maintained and improving systems, particularly those that handle network connections and passwords.
At the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Power, Control, Signals and Instrumentation Engineering (ICPCSI), researchers reported that a number of new security patents have been involved in safeguarding against new hacking techniques that are relevant to the processes used by Fluxion. Fluxion was projected to remain a target of ethical hackers in ongoing research and development, and a foundation of the more damaging tools developed and made accessible online.
What's The Bottom Line?
- Accessibility and ease of use make Fluxion particularly dangerous
- Combines multiple processes for high potential effectiveness
- Foundation of new and more deadly cyber security attacks
- Warrants multiple security upgrades and ongoing R&D

General Question
How long could the Earth sustain life?
Asked by AstroChuck (37428) September 23rd, 2008
Suppose the sun were to just vanish. What would happen? The sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles away, which means that it would be nearly 8 1/2 minutes before we would even know that it was gone. After that would we have any chance of survival? Could we tap the heat from the Earth's core and live underground? If so, there is the issue of food and water. Any thoughts?
