- "If I were a true Assassin, I'd make use of the shadows, or hide in plain sight. But I'm just a mid-level employee at an entertainment corporation [...] My act of defiance must be different – and permanent."
- ―Fraser in his final letter, 2014.[src]
Robert W. "Bob" Fraser (died 2014) was an employee at Abstergo Entertainment, tasked with reliving the genetic memories of Arno Dorian, a French Assassin living during the French Revolution. However, Fraser began to suffer from the Bleeding Effect during the project, eventually being encouraged by psychiatrist Victoria Bibeau to destroy all the information he had uncovered.
First weeks
- "Just keep in mind that you are Bob Fraser, and Arno is Arno Dorian. Don't confuse the two."
- ―St. Claire in his review of Fraser's first report, 2014.[src]
Fraser's enthusiasm for the project led him to become very immersed in his research; he would draw many of the individuals he met as Arno and introduced his colleagues to Pharaoh, which he mastered easily thanks to his experiences in the Animus. However, complaints from other research analysts, who believed Fraser was cheating, led CCO Melanie Lemay to ban it and other games of chance on 25 June. St. Claire also contacted Fraser, notifying the man that he could be experiencing the Bleeding Effect.
On 3 July, St. Claire sent his review of Fraser's first report, titled "Childhood through Imprisonment", and commended him on his thorough work, but also warned against forming too personal an attachment. As Fraser ventured further into Arno's memories, Abstergo supplied him with information on the Assassin Order, hoping to prevent him from empathizing with them.
Arno's initiation into the Brotherhood in particular seemed to affect Fraser, as St. Claire noted in his response to Fraser's second report, titled "From Prisoner to Apprentice". An appointment with Abstergo Entertainment's chief psychiatrist, Victoria Bibeau was subsequently organized; while no physical evidence of the Bleeding Effect arose, Bibeau worried Fraser would be unable to keep a professional distance from his subject and recommended any outside activity related to Fraser's assignment be curtailed.
Descent into madness
- "You've got to take me off this case. I can't possibly continue. Not unless I want to become Arno. There are times when I wonder if I am already Arno - if I always have been."
- ―Fraser to Bibeau, 2014.[src]
Taking St. Claire's advice, Fraser began corresponding with Bibeau, to whom he confessed that he had broken up with Anna, his girlfriend; Arno's memories had caused him to fall in love with Élise instead. Flashbacks of the Bastille plagued him on Bastille Day, with Fraser begging Bibeau to take him off the case. She believed they needed to continue their work regardless, but offered to supply him with medication that could help. Bibeau also recommended Fraser write whenever he felt the Bleeding Effect set in, in an effort to separate himself from Arno.
As Fraser continued his report, he began to hallucinate vividly, at one point believing himself to be in Paris during the Belle Époque. Once this came to light, he was made to take a medical leave of absence. On 29 July, Fraser reapplied for the project, claiming the week spent in the recovery center with Bibeau had worked wonders for his mental health.
Following his return, Fraser and Bibeau set out to destroy all documentation on Arno's life, deleting the files on Fraser's computer and burning the hard copies in St. Claire's office. They also leaked the unsequenced memories to the Assassins, but were caught thereafter and Fraser was terminated.
The remaining documents that Abstergo managed to salvage were subsequently examined by a Templar agent who would go on to replace St. Claire in his position as Project Coordinator.
- Fraser was at one point sent various rough sketches to critique by Melanie, who was looking into the creation of figurines of Arno and Élise.
- At some point in 2014, the Assassin Bishop entered Fraser's apartment, although it is unknown if he was present when this happened.

"Just For You" starts with acres of ambient swells, swirling around a delayed crunch, changing up its pitch every four bars until the obligatory opening 32 bars are done; whereby he duly begins the wamp onslaught, unleashing his bumping bassline and persistent conga rhythm with explosive force. Adding touches of bubbling synth melody and delayed vocal snippets, he carves out a truly pensive aggressor that drives its drums hard and punishes, threatening to up the pace and rip apart any dance it's wheeled out in.
On the flip, one of the UK funky scene's most active producers, Roska, takes the production down a notch or two, setting the tempo to around 130 BPM. Rolling out his percussion from the start, he makes it obvious from the off that the task in hand is to style out his own rhythm using Untold's percussion sounds. In the process, he manages to re-carve one of Dunning's throwaway vocal stabs as the track's main hook. Adding name drops and whining synthesizers that traverse a two-note riff, Roska strips back and builds his percussion with such a knowing panache that it become a schooling in how one should pepper their layers with congas rolls.

The first one is a new (I think) commercial for Mitsubishi Canada, agency unknown. If you know who did this, please post the credits in the comments. This is a pretty smart spot, considering that we've seen the same devices used in car and other commercials for a while, and yet these guys have managed to give robots a playful personality.
This one is Discovery Channel talking to its nerdy audience who get pumped up by dead Egyptian kings, dirty jobs, nature and esoteric science stuff….just kidding. Good work by 72 and Sunny. It's tough to have an all encompassing message like 'I love the world' and still not sound cheesy. I think this also works because when was the last time you used the words 'Love' and 'World' without any negative connotation?

When Muslim terrorists broke into a Egyptian Army checkpoint, stole an armored vehicle and a truck, loaded the latter with explosives and tried to launch an attack on Israel, before being blown away by Israeli forces; there was a general agreement on who was to blame.
While Morsi was somewhat more discreet, the Muslim Brotherhood announced, "this crime may well be the work of Israel's Mossad" as part of an international conspiracy to destabilize their revolution. On the other side of the border, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh offered a more open-ended explanation. "Israel is responsible, one way or another."
One way or another, Israel usually ends up being responsible for everything. Meanwhile Egypt has quietly asked Hamas to turn over a few of its terrorists who might have been involved. Because, while Israel is responsible for everything in the philosophical sense of being an omnipotent force of evil, when 16 Egyptian soldiers are killed, it becomes necessary to find the people who actually did it.
Turkey's Islamist rulers who are facing the threat of an independent Kurdish nation rising out of the ruins in Syria and Iraq also have an explanation for the situation. Turkey's Interior Minister stated that most Kurdish PKK guerrillas are not Turkish citizens and that quite a few are actually Israelis. So in between somehow recruiting multiple Egyptian Muslims willing to die for Israel, Avi and David took a trip to Kurdistan to take potshots at Turkish soldiers.
Western journalists try not to report on such embarrassing outbursts because it makes their favorite Islamists look like loony bigots who can't deal with a problem without finding some byzantine way to blame it on their least favorite minority group. The Islamists in Cairo and Ankara know better, but their ideology makes it impossible to fight other Muslims without first declaring them to be heretics or pawns of heresy.
Israel and America are convenient justifications for Muslims to kill other Muslims in the name of Allah. When Bin Laden wanted to overthrow the Saudis, he made war on them as the pawns of America. When the Saudis had overthrown the Hashemites, they had accused them of being the pawns of Britain. Now that the Salafis are confronting the Muslim Brotherhood, they are also accusing them of being the pawns of America and Israel.
"Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children," Danton says in Georg Buchner's Danton's Death, a controversial play about the French Revolution. In the modern context that line might be changed to read, "Revolution is like Allah, it devours its own children." The Muslim Brotherhood has reacted to the attack with all the expected antics of revolutionaries eager to sup at the kiddie table.
One statement urges "the Egyptian people to face up to domestic forces of sabotage and subversion, beware of their sinister calls for strife and sedition." Another calls on their own government "to implement the law firmly against the instigators of vandalism and subversion throughout the land and against their collaborators and agents involved in causing this deliberate confusion, chaos and mayhem across Egypt under the pretext of exercising freedom."
Predictably enough, the attack is being used by Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood to crack down on domestic dissent and replace top officials in the Egyptian military. Not to mention repeating calls for dispensing with the Camp David Accords and fully remilitarizing the Sinai. But cynicism will only take the revolution so far.
The Jihadists are the children of the Islamic Revolution. The brats of the upscale millionaire Islamists running networks of companies in Egypt and Turkey funded with Saudi and Qatari cash. But the vested interests that begin revolutions are not always the ones who benefit from them. Germany sent Lenin back in a sealed car under the protection of its soldiers for the short-term goal of taking Russia out of the war. Germany succeeded in toppling a moderate Russian government and replacing it with radical Bolsheviks, and, thirty years later Soviet troops were occupying Berlin.
The Gulf States are already quarreling with the Muslim Brotherhood and accusing it of wanting to take them over. Even while both groups are working together to take over Syria, neither trusts each other. But the real threat to them is the chaos that they have unleashed. The Muslim Brotherhood revolutionaries, like their Bolshevik spiritual ancestors, are returning from exile in the West to carry off their revolutions, but the revolution doesn't end where they say it does.

If you've ever attended a wine event in Albuquerque, you've noticed Dr. Byron Wall. He's the one working the room like an experienced politician. Tall and handsome, Wall looks like he just stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad, or off Harvard's campus—not exactly the type you'd expect to champion wines from the banks of the Rio Grande.
And yet there he is, going from table to table, pumping up the night's offerings, the winemakers and the sales reps. Wall is quick with a handshake and a huge, perfect smile (he's a dentist, after all).
This, friends, is for all intents and purposes New Mexico's ambassador of wine. Wall is an unwavering promoter of liquid Land of Enchantment. Along with his wife, former KOB-TV news anchor Cindy Hernandez, he's omnipresent as an educator and financial sponsor here in town. Through such successful events as Vintage Albuquerque, he's helped raise thousands of dollars for the Albuquerque Youth Symphony, the Albuquerque Museum Foundation and other worthy beneficiaries.
Wall says his romance with wine began when he was a young exchange student in Germany. It followed him from his home state of North Carolina through undergraduate and graduate school at The University of Iowa all the way to New Mexico, where he eventually settled and opened Cosmetic Dentistry of New Mexico.
The Alibi sat down with Wall at Artichoke Café as he shared his encyclopedic knowledge of cuisine and wines. The conversation, excerpted here, was edifying and absorbing—like a good bottle of vino.
Do you remember your first great wine experience?
I was about 15, and it was a homemade apricot wine that had undergone a secondary fermentation, so it was sweet and fizzy. I still remember it 40 years later.
What are you drinking these days?
Mostly Italian and Spanish wines. I like the restraint and the balance in the alcohol, which makes them great for pairing with food.
What about New Mexico wines?
We are doing a fantastic job in New Mexico. I believe that local winemakers as a group are making better wines than the rest of the country. Gruet makes the best sparkling wine at each price point. You can't get anything from France or California at Gruet's prices with that kind of quality. Same with wines Rick Hobson makes at Milagro. In particular, I love his Cab Franc and Merlot. For summer wines, I love Casa Rondeña's Viognier, which has become a cult wine among serious local wine drinkers. All the local novelty wines don't interest me, but if people enjoy them, I am all for it. D.H. Lescombes is awesome juice, as are many Vivác wines.
There are lots of people who consider you the biggest promoter of New Mexico wines. What motivates you?
I think my passion for wine reflects my passion for life. First and foremost, I like the wines. But I try and surround myself with passionate people, and the most interesting people I know are in the food and wine industry. I am a huge fan of local products and locally owned restaurants. I like seeing good things happen to local people who work hard.
What do you think of the French Paradox? (The irony of the low incidence of coronary heart disease in French people even though their diet is high in saturated fats.) Does all the red wine they drink play a part?
Well, I believe the French Paradox has merit. I think it's important to drink two glasses of red wine with dinner daily; unless you are having steak, in which case I recommend three glasses just to be safe. [Laughs.] Fermented beverages eaten with your meal correlate with lower heart disease along with other benefits. This is proven, although I think Europeans eat lots of fresh food versus the overly processed foods we are exposed to.
Tell me about wine and dental hygiene. Does it stain your teeth or cause cavities?
Wine is so much better for your teeth than soda, Red Bull or bottled iced tea. If you are really worried about your teeth staining from red wine, have them whitened. Don't skip wine. Skip Red Bull because of acidity. It changes the pH in your mouth for hours and makes you susceptible to decay. Healthy gums and teeth are directly related to heart health, cerebrovascular health, pulmonary health and kidney health. It's important to know that overall gum health is super important. Inflammation in your body is really bad and affects all your other organs. Bad gums and bad teeth equal inflammation. How much wine helps is certainly debatable, but wine is a much healthier beverage both for your body and teeth—OK, in moderation—than any soft drink.
You're friends with T.J. Trout, who just announced he's leaving 94 Rock. He's also a wine lover. Does he have a good palate?
T.J. is amazing, and he grows grapes and makes wine, something I am not brave enough to do. So from that standpoint, he knows more than me. He has a great appreciation for wine. I've tasted his wines and have been impressed.
What's the biggest myth about wine?
That ordering a wine in a restaurant or wine store is difficult and intimidating. The waiter is there to help you find something you will love in your price range. Don't hesitate to ask for help with the wine list. All local restaurants with decent wine lists have lots of helpful staff to assist you without making you feel silly. Wine shops today actually cater to the average person. You don't need to be a connoisseur to buy off a fancy wine list or to shop at Quarters or Jubilation.
How do you pair it with New Mexican food?
With enchiladas, try Milagro Zinfandel or Casa Rondeña Viognier. You don't have to have beer or Margaritas with your chile. And now for the holidays with Thanksgiving turkey: a good Beaujolais.
You have a giant, gorgeous cellar. Any idea how many wines you have?
Three thousand, five hundred bottles, approximately. There is nothing in my cellar that is just to look at. They are all to drink. A few are just waiting for the right group of people to enjoy them with. Every wine I own is to drink with friends.
Give us some final wine words of wisdom.
I have been around wine snobs that want to pontificate. My only rule is, as long as you make an informed decision, eat what you like, drink what you like, exercise and be happy. Life is too short to drink bad wine. This is not a dress rehearsal! Oh, and take care of your teeth.

Oh those hard to reach teens. Always switching it up. Always using the coolest and latest technology to stay in touch with their friends. Always shopping and looking for the latest trendy items. What is a marketer to do? Well if it helps, try Instagram! A recent study done by Pew Research Center over 50% of teens in the US are using Instagram. Facebook contrary to popular belief, is still used the most by older teens at over 70%. This is good news for advertisers as they already have begun to gear their enormous advertising budgets toward digital media including Instagram. In case you are still living in the dark ages, Instagram allows posting of video and photos which followers just like with Facebook, can like or make comments. Female teens tend to use Instagram more than the guys but still, this is a gold mine for marketers and brands.
Instagram is a free app to download on smart phones and in this mobile society on the go you want to make sure your brand is being seen. Using short video blurbs or images to capture those hungry teens looking for a great deal or to share their finds with their friends, marketing on Instagram is a no-brainer. Age ranges are typically between 12 to 17 but the catch is the average household income among Instagram users is over 70K. (Defy Media) In 2015, expect over 15.5 million Instagram users in the teen bracket. So what are you waiting for? Got something to promote, sell, or engage teens with? Better get on Instagram!

Some keys to building a good base profile. Here are some tips to have that good base to get people to interact with you and thus you can start to pull good leads.
Brand. Make sure you have a good brand for your business. Keep your branding image the same for all of your social media outlets including your website.
Posting Schedule. Keep your posting of content consistent as your audience expects to see it at a certain time. Don't make them hunt and guess when you will be posting content.
Content. As mentioned above, keep your content in line with your business and do not make it about you. Keep it fresh.
Listen. Your leads come from interaction. Make your content to create feedback and allow that feedback. Create conversation!
Now that you have a source for leads in social media, you need tools to capture and find, engage, and source. There are many out there and yes, most do charge a fee to use them based on what leads you "win" over and create business with. If you create prospects, most will charge you for it.

(Reuters) – Former world number one Lee Chong Wei will jump above China's Chen Long to the top of the world badminton rankings after winning the Indonesia Open title on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Malaysian beat Denmark's Jan Jorgensen in the final in Jakarta, winning his sixth Indonesia Open crown and strengthening his bid for gold at the Rio Olympics in August.
Lee returned to action in May last year after a backdated eight-month doping ban for testing positive for dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory drug, at the 2014 world championships.
Chen pulled out of the Indonesian Open due to injury.

In good news for lakhs of cricket lovers dependent on cable TV, the Supreme Court today gave a go-ahead to public broadcaster Doordarshan to continue sharing live feed of World Cup cricket matches with private cable operators.
The apex court continued its stay on the Delhi High Court verdict that had allowed the plea of Star India Ltd, which holds the exclusive telecast rights of the Cricket World Cup, and had asked Prasar Bharati not to share the live feed of the matches with private cable operators.
The top court said the High Court order will remain suspended until further orders and posted the matter for final hearing in the month of July, much after the World Cup comes to an end.
"We are of the view that the interim order passed earlier to the effect that the impugned order dated February 4, 2015 of the High Court shall remain suspended should continue until further orders. We order accordingly," a bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi and Prafulla C Pant said.
The court, in its interim order, fixed the appeal of Prasar Bharti against the High Court order for final hearing in the month of July.
Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Centre and Prasar Bharati, had told the court that it was mandatory for a private channel under the Sports Act and the Cable TV Network Act to share the feeds of matches of "national importance" with Prasar Bharati for providing it on DD's free-to-air terrestrial channels.
Prasar Bharati had moved the Supreme Court challenging the February 4 Delhi High Court judgement which was passed on the plea of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), ESPN and Star. They had contended that cable operators were getting live feed free through DD channels, resulting in loss of revenue for them.

Knowing About Prostate Cancer Could Save Your Life
September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and a good time to revisit what you know and don't know about this disease.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, aside from skin cancer. Approximately 164,690 men will be diagnosed with the disease in 2018 and about 29,430 are expected to die from prostate cancer this year. In West Virginia alone, about 820 will be diagnosed and 180 will die from the disease.
Recent changes in prostate cancer screening recommendations may have left you confused about what to do. The Prevent Cancer Foundation recommends men ages 50-69 at average risk talk to their health care professionals about the pros and cons of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing before making a decision.
It's helpful to study up before going into the doctor's office so you have some knowledge of prostate cancer to help guide you in making an informed choice about whether or not to be tested.
Symptoms. In the early stages of prostate cancer, you are unlikely to experience symptoms. As it progresses, you may have weak or interrupted urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping the urine flow, frequent urination, blood in the urine or a burning sensation during urination. You might also experience painful or difficult erections or pain the lower back, pelvis or upper thighs.
Risk Factors. African-American men are at much greater risk of prostate cancer than white men, and are more than twice as likely to die of the disease.
Other risk factors are older age (about six in 10 cases are in men older than 65), family history of the disease and certain inherited conditions, such as Lynch syndrome or BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
Early Detection. PSA testing is the best screening method for prostate cancer, but it's far from perfect. PSA testing shows your PSA level — a high PSA level can indicate prostate cancer, but it could also be an indication of other non-cancerous issues, such as an enlarged prostate (BPH).
Testing can detect cancer early, when successful treatment is more likely, and early detection of prostate cancer followed by prompt treatment saves lives. But testing can also result in false positives, leading to unnecessary concern, biopsies or treatment, which can cause serious side effects or complications. Some men may be treated for prostate cancer that would never cause them harm. It's important to discuss these pros and cons with your health care professional to decide what is best for you. Testing is not recommended for men ages 70 and older.
Prevention. More research needs to be done on the effects of weight, diet and exercise on prostate cancer risk, but you may be able to reduce your risk by maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and exercising regularly.
If you smoke, quit. To learn more about cancer prevention, visit www.preventcancer.org.

There seems to have been some noise recently about balancing Social Media Marketing techniques with traditional Internet Marketing.
And just as well.
For a while people who were traditional Internet Marketers, writing long sales letters that were full of hype and yellow highlighting, didn't get blogging, Twitter and the rest. Thought it was all pretty much a waste of time.
And Social Marketers not only distanced themselves from traditional Internet Marketing techniques, they ostracised anyone who practiced what they perceived to be online Marketing in the social sites.
Social Media was all about being fluffy and warm and telling people what you had for breakfast. Internet Marketers were those brash, pushy, commercial people who forced you to buy stuff you didn't need.
But lately there's been a realisation that there is a middle ground.
Not all Internet Marketing techniques are spammy, and (certainly) not all social media marketing techniques are effective (if you're trying to make money, that is).
For the social media crowd, the question became 'how can I use the techniques the IM'ers use but do so in a way that fits better with my nature'.
And for the IM'ers there's a realisation that having a big mailing list that you can flog stuff too is not the only way to develop a warm market.
Brian Clark and Sonia Simone at CopyBlogger have long written about the intersection of good content and good marketing.
They recently launched a membership site, which I reviewed here, and which teaches people how to pick the best from each traditional tribe to form a third tribe: a group of professional, ethical marketers who use effective Internet Marketing techniques without all the hype and yellow highlighting.
David Risley, a six-figure-earning blogger, recently chose to go to the annual Underground Internet Marketers' seminar rather than the Bloggers Convention (SXSW) that was held at the same time. He has some interesting feedback on the changing attitudes of traditional Internet Marketers – read it here.
And another article that I read today on ProBlogger offers 30 ways to make your social media Marketing activities more effective. Among them are several techniques that would be considered traditional Internet Marketing plays.
So what's my point in all this?
Simply this: make sure you take (and keep) the blinkers off.
Both Social Media Marketing and traditional Internet Marketing techniques have their strengths. Be sure to pick the best from each, adapt them to suit your style and apply that blend to promoting your business.
It'll be more effective than choosing one or the other.

Democratic lawmakers say there are still many unanswered questions after Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned on Monday evening.
Several have asked whether Flynn's apparent close communications with Russia could have compromised parts of the Trump administration.
"Flynn's resignation is a good 1st step. If colluding with Russia on sanctions is unacceptable, what about colluding with Russia on the campaign," Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland said in a message posted on Twitter.
A tweet sent from the Twitter account of former Rep. John Dingell of Michigan said: "Flynn's resignation CANNOT be end of the story. Who talked to who? When? Who knew? When? How far up did it go?"
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said: "Flynn's departure only matters if 1) he's followed by a mainstream, experienced replacement, 2) we get to bottom of the Trump/Russia story."
"General Flynn's resignation is a step in the right direction. But many questions remain," Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas said Monday night.
A January assessment from Sally Yates, the acting US attorney general at the time, first reported by The Washington Post on Monday night suggested that Flynn, who had contact with Russia's ambassador to the US, may be subject to blackmail from Russia.
Both the director of national intelligence and the CIA director at the time, James Clapper and John Brennan, concurred, according to The Post, which cited an anonymous official as saying they feared "Flynn had put himself in a compromising position" with Russia.
The Trump-Russia story
That assessment is an extension of a long-playing narrative surrounding President Donald Trump, who has often expressed an affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump made clear during his election campaign that he revered Putin's leadership of Russia, and he made a direct public appeal to the Kremlin during a news conference in July asking it to find damaging information on his Democrat opponent, Hillary Clinton.
A classified dossier on Trump originally compiled as political opposition research, which had been making the rounds in Washington since last year, contained unverified details of supposed associations between Trump and Russia. US officials on Friday said some elements in the 35-page document had indeed proved accurate.
Trump and his surrogates have called the document "fake and fictitious."
Business Insider's Natasha Bertrand reported on Saturday that the timeline of Trump's ties with Russia in that dossier line up with allegations of conspiracy and misconduct. The dossier is still being investigated.

Diagrams seem to be having something of a moment. Their usage in all branches of philosophy is well documented; from the hard edges of logic problems, to Lacanian Strips and Tori to the soft intensity of Deleuzean and Bergsonian planes of matter and experience….
I came across many in the last 12 months of studying the voice. Curious and often baffling attempts at mapping the intersecting spaces of body, subjectivity and sound, perhaps attempting to locate an elusive voco-fragment hovering within the blank and potential page which give space to the lacuna between these concepts; as if the only way to spot it is to compose a line of best fit amid the scattergun mess of crosses on the grid – one of which may hit the mark.
I came across many in the last 12 months of studying the voice. Curious and often baffling attempts at mapping the intersecting spaces of body, subjectivity and sound, perhaps attempting to locate an elusive voco-fragment hovering within the blank and potential page which give space to the lacuna between these concepts; as if the only way to spot it is to compose a line of best fit amid the scattergun mess of crosses on the grid – one of which may hit the mark.
While the notion of a diagram as a pedagogic tool meant to clarify and enlighten is widely accepted, there are doubtlessly cases in which it might actually make things worse (see below!) – but perhaps again this has to do with gaps. Gaps in knowledge and an absence from the point of thinking in which the diagram originated; to be coldly presented with such a visual maze is perhaps to miss out some steps in the process. In other words there must be more – there must be text or demonstration – a collective thinking through so that that all the elements can nestle into sense. With nothing else around it, the diagram below would be as useful without its mysterious labels than it is with them.
So perhaps you need to be there. Or RE-be there. If not originating the diagram itself, it becomes necessary / helpful to redraw it - to map the lines for yourself. In some cases this might negate the unifying or democratising space of scientific accuracy that the conventions of diagramming suggest -but it does allow a more personal shading and figuring whose subtle diversions can point toward a particular, subjective understanding.
The notion of originating diagrams as a parallel or even proxy practice for conceptual unpacking is also interesting. For a recent project I ended up approaching a literary essay in exactly this manner – with Nabokov's infamous exam questions (devised for his English Literature class at Cornell in the 60s) as a starting point, I attempted to investigate the use of slow motion in Kafka's Metamorphosis via a measured method of data collection and meticulous graphing, rather than via more tried methods of text or research based enquiry. This idea of applying un-native methods across genres, media and practices was introduced to me by Kate Briggs, a writer and translator whom I met through the experimental publishing house Information as Material. The idea of a more 'hands on' approach to making theory or marking reading immediately appealed to me as it seemed to somehow dislodge certain conceptual barriers – in the sense that adhering to other rules and conventions allows a certain circumventing of the usual obstacles to thought – a more direct route though if you like.
I haven't tested it extensively but the operation in this case was certainly a success, opening up and shedding light on a feature of the novel that I would not have noticed otherwise. Plus the visual methodology was intensely satisfying – liberating even.
Simon O'Sullivan's new book "On the Production of Subjectivity: Five Diagrams of the Finite-Infinite Relation" too deals in exactly this notion; explaining a series of diagrams which allowed the writer a freer approach to theoretical work, in many cases acting as the pathway to ideas that would not have emerged otherwise. Also, within contemporary philosophical thinking – these info-images act as morsels of vocab or stretches of code within some kind of shared language or conceptual plane. They can be overlaid, combined, cut and pasted and edited together – O'Sullivan unlocks one particularly interesting strain of thinking via the juxtaposition of Bergsonian and Lacanian visual concepts. In thinking along these lines I notice too (for the first time) that the troublesome diagram I mention above, which to me had always looked like a spinal, corporeal structure – bares more than a passing resemblance toBergson's Cone of Memory (below), spiralling upwards like a hurricane from a trapezoidal plane of matter or axis of experience.
Could this accidental observation elucidate something about the initial image that had previously eluded and baffled me. Perhaps so. Perhaps more than a forensic understanding of its complex terms may afford.
So again, it appears that a slippage and desire to work, perhaps roughly, with this scientific rigour, is the way through to new thinking and understanding.
I listened to a discussion by O'Sullivan this evening on the topic of Bergson and memory, which centred around his notion of the pure past and the presence of universal matter that lingers in varying proximities to the black holes of our relative experience – shaping the world as we see, feel and remember it. The discussion of our relationship to these various, elusive elements of time and action caused me to think about Graham Harman's ideas around Object Oriented Ontology – which attempts to move away from an anthropocentric philosophy and to explore the inner lives of objects - as equally caught up with notions of time and emotion as these may no doubt be.

Mid-Missourians share stories of fatherless Father's Day at rally
JEFFERSON CITY - Fathers shared stories of custody troubles at the Missouri Fatherless Day rally Friday.
The attendees advocated for equal rights for dads at the state capitol. MO 4 Shared Parenting organized its first rally Friday as a way to educate the community about fathers that do not have the opportunity to spend Father's Day with their children. Even though the state legislature is not in session, the organization felt the timing was right with Father's Day approaching.
MO 4 Shared Parenting President Linda Reutzel said educating the public on how the family court system affects equal shared parenting is important. Reutzel said she believes separation and divorce have become part of the cultural norm.
"Every person has a father, every person has a son or a nephew or an uncle that has gone through divorce or separation," Reutzel said. "If there are children involved, then it's serious. You could actually lose contact and equal access to your child."
Reutzel said she believes the Missouri court system have a bias toward mothers, which often leaves fathers in a difficult situation.
The rally included about a dozen men, women and children sharing stories and meeting with one another. Most talked about their struggles in the family court system and how parents' disputes on schedules can affect joint custody agreements.
Father Matt Jones shared his story with the group. Jones is a divorced father of three with visiting rights every other weekend.
"The cards are really stacked against fathers when it comes down to custody," Jones said.
Jones said one of the uphill battles many fathers face is the perception that all fathers are "deadbeat dads". He said even though not every family experiences custody battles or divorce, the public should be aware of the issues people in the community go through.
"Improving fathers' rights, giving them better access to shared parenting, not necessarily calling for full custody, but shared parenting creates a better community in general," Jones said.
MO 4 Shared Parenting had two bills in committees this past session, which advocate for paternal rights in custody agreements. Reutzel said the organization plans to continue to take legal action in the fall.

As the Syrian Civil War reaches looks at its seventh year, the global community faces a dire situation. An estimated 500,000 Syrians have lost their lives and approximately 11 million have been displaced. Facing a civil war turned global crisis, we welcome and applaud the willingness of the delegations gathering for this conference to engage with each other to seek an end to this conflict and to help ensure a lasting peace.
Refugee Repatriation Quotas
The Committee on Cross-Border Issues has come up with a plan for repatriation of Syrian refugees from Jordan, Lebanon, Germany, Turkey, and Egypt. Humanitarian NGOs and the Moscow Group lobbied hard and eventually came up with annual quotas for refugees to be resettled under supervision of the Humanitarian Council. These are upper limits on the number of Syrian refugees that can be resettled from each of the countries listed. The vote in favour of the quotas was almost unanimous.
- In 2017, Turkey will send 100000, Lebanon 250000.
- In 2018, Turkey will send 250000, Lebanon 350000, Jordan 130000, Egypt 50000, and Germany 70000.
- In 2019, Turkey will send 550000, Lebanon 400000, Jordan 400000, Egypt 50000, and Germany 150000.
- In 2020, Turkey will send 650000, Lebanon 400000, Jordan 300000, Egypt 50000, and Germany 100000.
- In 2021, Turkey will send 900000, Lebanon 300000, and Jordan 300000.
Because there will still be many Syrian refugees still living in these countries 5 years from now, several nations that are donors to the Humanitarian Council also committed to provide the necessary financial resources for safe and healthy living environments for the refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. The countries that have agreed to provide the necessary financial resources are: U.S., Saudi Arabia, France, UK, Oman, and Iran (only to Shi'ite refugees).
*Note: These dates and numbers are dependent on the immediate establishment of a ceasefire between Syrian rebel groups and the Syrian government. All efforts must be directed to fighting terrorist groups and creating territory for expanding the safe zones and allowing for the sooner return of Syrian refugees.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used her historic trip to the isolated country of Burma (Myanmar) to announce Thursday some relaxation of economic restrictions – moves aimed at giving the military rulers a taste of the larger benefits they can expect from expanding the country's fledgling reforms.
The US will no longer block financing that Burma seeks from international institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Those measures announced by Secretary Clinton are modest and do not yet include any easing of US sanctions on the country.
Also, a restoration of diplomatic relations is not imminent, according to State Department officials. But Clinton did discuss with the country's civilian president, Thein Sein, a path that can lead to restoration of full diplomatic relations with the US and Burma's return to the community of nations, the officials said. The path includes continued political and economic reforms, releasing of political prisoners, and improved respect for human rights.
The US has not had an ambassador in Burma for two decades and is represented there by a chargé d'affaires.
"Today, the United States is prepared to respond to reforms with measured steps to lessen its isolation and improve the lives of its citizens," Clinton said after meeting with Mr. Thein Sein in the new capital of Naypyidaw.
Clinton also hailed last year's release from house arrest of the pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi and her freedom to participate in parliamentary elections next year. But she added that the restoration of political freedoms to one high-profile democrat "will be insufficient unless all political parties can ... compete in free, fair, and credible elections."
Later Thursday in the traditional economic and cultural capital of Rangoon (Yangon), Clinton met with Ms. Suu Kyi, and the two global political personalities expressed mutual admiration before sitting down to a private dinner.
The Nobel laureate has said she supports the US opening to Burma and Clinton's visit as a means of encouraging the country's military leaders to pursue and deepen their reforms. She has also said that while she trusts the new civilian government led by Thein Sein, she is aware that not all the country's rulers agree with even the initial political and economic reforms.
In her meeting with Thein Sein, Clinton gave a detailed presentation of the steps the US will watch for as it considers reciprocal measures toward improving relations, according to a senior State Department official who briefed reporters.
Clinton laid out five "areas of concern" where change will be necessary: in the nuclear field and in the country's military relations with North Korea; in the area of political reform; in improvements for ethnic minorities and a robust process of reconciliation; in freeing all political prisoners; and in developing a system of and respect for the rule of law.
US officials said the meeting resulted in no timetable for progress, but underscored Clinton's point that US measures including the easing of sanctions will depend on steps in Burma.
Clinton said conditions are "not at the point yet that we can consider lifting sanctions," but she insisted that any steps the government takes will be "matched" by the US.
She did not mention that many of the punitive measures the US has taken against Burma would require congressional action to be lifted. Some congressional leaders have been critical of the administration's engagement with the repressive country, saying whatever small reforms have been instituted so far could be easily reversed.

When most diyer's consider installing a 3 way their brain starts offevolved to melt. The reality is it's very smooth. You simply need to triumph over all those extra wires. Examine the diagram below. You'll observe we have tourists. These are the extra ones. But wait, your three-way switch has greater screws. So essentially, you simply want to feature those wires to those screws and both switches. Yea it's that easy.?. Earlier than you start whatever with a three-way, you have to remember the fact that in order in an effort to have a 3-manner circuit you have to have 3-way switches. They may be not the same as a everyday switch in any respect. And a four-manner is very distinctive again. But that's on a exclusive web page.
I would love to update my modern light inside the ceiling with a ceiling fan that has a mild. I have 1 switch on the wall that manage the presently set up light however i would like to replace that switch with one that might independently manage the brand new fan with light. In addition, i would love to put in a dimmer transfer for the mild. I need greater detail on what you're asking. If you're simplest trying to add a extra light then you might just join your wires from the present mild and not the transfer. If i have you right right here.

Companies put the majority of their marketing efforts into creating content that they can distribute via their websites, brochures, online newsletters and other platforms they control. However, what they fail to consider is how well they are reaching out and targeting their core demographic in media they don't control. This is starting to change as companies build their presence on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, but the focus is still on direct communications with people that already know about their brand.
At the same time, companies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to online reputation damage from negative sentiment – some of which is real, and some of which is a result of malicious activity. Online smear campaigns are common, for instance, and result in significant commercial consequences for their victims. One example of this is the recent negative astroturfing – posting fake reviews – that Samsung carried out in Taiwan against its competitors, but there are many, many more. [Read more…]

Haemoth's brand of black metal seems to be often overlooked in certain sections of the pantheon of metal listeners these days, which I suppose is understandable considering the wealth of "blasting" black and death metal bands out there, many of which are difficult to get excited about. It's an aesthetic that often lends itself to poor production and lazy songwriting, the result of an over-reliance on "extremity" as oppsed to compelling composition. With that said, Haemoth is a sizeable cut above the average in their respective niche, and In Nomine Odium adheres to black metal's classic themes of audial hatred and violence in startlingly dedicated fashion.
Seriously, this album is almost unbelievably intense. The harsh, shrieking production and palpable sense of speed is what primarily drives Haemoth's sound, and the sheer wrath and sense of calamity captured on this disc is a feat in and of itself – I felt like my hair had literally been blown back after the first couple of listens. But the band hardly shies away from logical, quality songwriting. The songs are all rooted in the traditional French style of blast beats, frenzied tremolo picking and manic minor chords, and the progressions within each cut are generally constructed with listenability in mind. This is harsh, unforgiving black metal crafted in a relatively professional and accessible style, and it works surprisingly well. The venom-soaked vocals are constantly threatening to come off the rails at any time and are crucial to the music's unhinged feel, and the trebly nature of the mix allows plenty of room for the bass to loom ominously out from behind the guitars. There's really no question that Haemoth accomplished exactly what they set out to do here – in terms of the realization of the artist's intent, In Nomine Odium is an undeniable success.
Of course, the issue many have with this kind of black metal is the redundancy from track to track, and In Nomine Odium definitely qualifies for this complaint. The band's attempts at mixing things up with foreboding ambient segments are hardly enough to compensate for the fact that every riff on this album sounds extremely similar. It's hardly an issue if you're listening to a song here or there, but the adrenaline rush brought on by opener "Slaying the Blind" is somewhat diminished three or four songs in due to the repetitive nature of the riffing and percussion. I generally favor albums where the songs feel like they are cut from a shared cloth, but it's hard not to be a little irritated when individual tracks don't do more to set themselves apart. I confess, it's tricky to get a bead on music like this; it would be easy to chalk up the samey-ness of the riffs to a lack of inspiration or effort, but the convincing tone of the music as a whole leads me to believe that the lack variety is part of their inspiration.
One thing is for sure — for anyone fed up with black metal's forays into progressive or dreamy territory, Haemoth is your new best friend. In Nomine Odium, despite its homogeneous nature, strikes the ideal balance between primal rage and epic grandiosity from which traditional black metal flourished. It's perfectly produced and genuinely intimidating in its complete disregard for any sound less than totally sinister, and while there may not be a lot of ideas, those that are used are executed to near perfection. If you're looking for a multifaceted listening experience, this album will likely be unsatisfying – for anyone else, it's excellent.

Life scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, have discovered that long-term memory in the marine snail can be erased by inhibiting the activity of a specific protein kinase (PKM) associated with memory.
The study may be relevant to veterans of war, rape victims, and people who have seen other horrific crimes.
The scientists studied a simple kind of reflexive memory called sensitization. They administered electric shocks to the snails' tails. Following this training, when the scientists gently touched a snail's siphon (an organ in their mid-section used in respiration), the animal responded with a reflexive contraction that lasted about 50 seconds. A week later, when the scientists touched the siphon, the reflex still lasted 30 seconds or more, rather than just the second or two the reflex normally lasts without the shock training. This constituted a long-term memory.
Once the marine snail had formed the long-term memory, the scientists injected an inhibitor of PKM into the snail and 24 hours later touched the siphon; the marine snail responded as though it had never…

How Proper Expense Management Can Enhance Business Profitability?
Even if you have an excellent business idea, running it is a completely different game. Entrepreneurs and small business owners already know how tough it is to run a business considering that there is so much market competition. However, the fun is in the fact that you need to face these challenges head-on and turn these challenges into opportunities. One of the major challenges for most emerging businesses is that they need to manage their limited capital in the right way. When you are running short of money and investment you have to optimize it and ensure that you squeeze every penny and make it work for you.
For this, you need to have proper expense management that can help you to make your business profitable.
Stick to the Budget: It is very easy to go overboard and do something stupid that can cost you more. However, it takes a lot of control and focuses to manage your business within the budget you have set. This is important and therefore you have to be sure that you stick to the budget. You have to get creative and think of ways in which you can spend wisely and provide your business with the right push it requires.
Hire an Accountant: Understanding the dynamics of the tax system can take some time and therefore you need to hire an accountant. This can help you to reduce your tax bills initially and also help you to save money. Also, when you are hiring an accountant you can focus more on other aspects of your business. Hence, it will help you save time and you don't have to worry about how to file your tax returns and manage other expense related tasks. This can help you to pay as little as is legally required in your country.
Focus on Proper Utilization: When you are thinking of proper expense management you also have to focus on how wisely you utilizing the resources in your company. You can turn off the electricity and even the appliances when not required. This will allow you to reduce your energy bills and add to your savings. Similarly, you can also make use of the new technologies like Skype to communicate across different offices rather than using a car to reach the destination. Hence, you need to optimize how you are going to use your resources.
Control What You Buy: To ensure that you are able to run your business smoothly you need to buy office raw materials, appliances and stationary. This can add to your expense quickly and therefore you must have complete control over what you buy. It is vital that you don't waste the resources or stock up beyond your office requirements. Similarly, if you are buying stock for the customer you need to keep in mind that you don't have to buy too much. You must have an inventory system that would allow you to visualize the picture of how much you need and how much you are buying.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer lived up to his controversial reputation by mocking Google Chrome OS, asking why the company felt the need for a second OS to slot alongside Android.
Ballmer, speaking at a conference in New Orleans, described Chrome OS – Google's foray into operating systems for computers – as very interesting, but questioned its purpose.
"Who knows what this thing is? To me, the Chrome OS thing is highly interesting," said Ballmer.
"It won't happen for a year and a half and they already announced an operating system."
Making your mind up
"I don't know if they can't make up their mind or what the problem is over there, but the last time I checked, you don't need two client operating systems," added Ballmer.
"It's good to have one."
Ballmer mocking the opposition is hardly surprising, but it would be naïve to believe that Microsoft is not taking the threat from Google seriously.
No doubt critics will point to the fact that Microsoft's mobile OS Windows Mobile – which is set to move into version 6.5 soon, is a very different beast to Windows 7.
But Ballmer is not the first to question how Android and Chrome OS fit in with each other, and is unlikely to be the last.

WIN: A Signed Limited Edition Moa Skeleton Print by Shelton Woolright & More…
Well known for his takeover judging stint on NZ's 2015 X Factor Show (after the infamous departure of Natalia Kills and Willy Moon) and as drummer for iconic rock bands I Am Giant (we're big, big fans!) and Blindspott, Shelton Woolright has a new project up his (ink-covered) sleeves…
When the names Shelton Woolright, Otis Frizzell, Flox (Hayley King), Askew One and Dean Sacred are used in one sentence, you know it's going to be good. And good it is, with an event that encompasses both charity elements and a very important message.
The upcoming exhibition Lonesome Beast Native presented by Moa Brewing Co. is a continuation from the highly acclaimed 2014 creative collaboration and photographic series 'Lonesome Beast' between Shelton Woolright and Dean Sacred, and this time round has added a few more popular local names to the mix.
The limited number of pieces (each hand numbered, signed and wax stamped on archival paper) will be on display in the iconic Old Elephant House at The Auckland Zoo between February 3rd and 26th, open to the public with viewing times adopting The Auckland Zoo's regular opening hours.
The exhibition features 15 prints of Woolright's photography, each customised with unique layers by one of the partner artists and for sale from $180 in sizes ranging from A3 to A0. Ten per cent of sales from all prints will go towards The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund, supporting conservation efforts in the wild throughout New Zealand and overseas. Even if you're not our lucky winner of this limited edition print and zoo passes, do head in and check out the exhibition (which ends February 26th) – not only is it a once in a lifetime opportunity, it's sure to be an amazing viewing.
To further support the efforts of The Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund and to tie into the exhibition, naming-rights sponsor Moa Brewing Co. will be wrapping 15 of its Moa Methode Pilsner Magnum brews with the lead Moa image from the exhibit and contributing all proceeds of its sales to the Conservation Fund.
We have one hand numbered, signed and wax stamped A3 print up for grabs (valued at RRP$180) as well as 4 entry passes to the Zoo, to check out the exhibition.

It may sound like you're planning your funeral the day you're born. Well, that's not a bad analogy.
It's an excellent idea and is a fantastic way to make thousands of dollars in (usually-effortless) passive income. But keep in mind that those times that are not quite effortless are full of effort. In reality, effort isn't really the problem. The problem is stickier, yuckier and might involve attorneys (see: sticky, yucky references).
Let's just say, for kicks, and because you're potentially new to this, naive and full of energy and world-changing ideas, that you think it's a good idea to run a reseller server and then "sublet" space on that server for your clients. You pay, for example, $50/month for the entire server and your clients pay $10. Five clients and you're breaking even. Six and you're already in the black. It's like a money printing machine.
Until the server goes down.
Oh, are you hosting their email, too? Yeah, you shouldn't have done that. Here are three words I wish I had heard 10 years ago:
Never host email.
Forget, "Don't walk with an umbrella on a golf course in a thunderstorm." Don't worry about, "Don't swim after you've had a full meal." and certainly don't even have a second thought about, "Don't stick your hand into the bear's cage after you finished a glazed donut." Don't worry about those, just Never Host Email and you'll be safe.
If you survive the barrage of phone calls (because their email is down, remember?) from irate clients, just wait to see if their sites are down too. Do they have e-commerce? They're probably losing tens of thousands of dollars every hour that their site is down. Let's see, multiply that by attorney fees (per hour) and you might as well get in your car and head to the nearest border.
Or, don't host their email or their websites.
That's the secret. In the words of Nancy Reagan's IT dude, Just Don't Do It.
What are your options for hosting client sites?
- Just Not You. Anyone else but you. Do your homework, hosting companies are not created equal. There are some excellent ones and some very good and less costly ones.
- Select Few. You did your homework and you have your favorites that you recommend. BONUS: you charge a premium to clients who don't use these.
- Kinda-sorta-but-not-really you. There are reseller services out there where it's a little bit you, but just in that you get a recurring commission.
For the record, I'm now doing #3. My logo is on the page of a reseller service so clients of mine recognize my brand. There's a U.S.-based help desk number that clients call where they pick up 24/7. If you'd like to know more about how to host your clients and offer them excellent WordPress hosting (and domain and email) services in one solution, let me know. If you'd like to see my page, it's here: Managed WordPress Hosting.
I'd keep going on and on, but I think I'm getting a call because a client's site is down …
