#SayGdayParty on Saturday!
Thank you for joining us Joanne! Always great seeing what you have cooking and baking! Nettie
Nettie! I love joining in on your party. Just linked up 3 Chopped recipes. You did a great job on your features this week. All wonderful!
Hi Debi, You aren’t late at all, you can share all week! So happy that you linked up with us! Nettie <3 </s> I name this blog post Kale because of an incident at dinner. Me and my three friends- Maya, Madeline, and Anjoum- went to get dinner at the dining hall, and as per routine, Maya made her plate of kale with lemon and salt. However, Madeline decided to try her kale this time, and decided she liked it; her own plate ensued. After thirty or so minutes of watching them eat their kale, I wanted my own (naturally), and so three out of the four of us were eating exactly the same thing: a plate of green kale with a lemon zest. Three students, eating sautéed kale in a college dining hall at 9 P.M. on a Tuesday. And this is normal for us. Hence, the title.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the highlight of my day. If it were, I could happily end this post with something like, “My friends and I are nothing short of a subplot in Arrested Development. Goodnight everybody.”; But my life is far more complicated than that. Today, I took it upon me to potentially ruin a fifth relationship this week. Yes, folks, my emotions have gotten so out of control that I’ve successfully pushed away four- potentially five- of my closest friends. And for what reasons, may you ask? Well, most of them are pretty stupid.
I have this tendency to take things out on people when they don’t deserve it. And the thing is, I can’t stop. I feel my sensibility fighting with my mouth to just shut up and think before you speak but the words flow like rapids and cut like blades and suddenly, the whole world is a mess12-step addiction recovery program, “which helps those with addictions—drug dependency, alcoholism, pornography addiction, eating disorders, codependency, and so forth—apply key gospel principles in their lives.

I have this very arbitrary “rule” with regard to twitching rare birds which says that I only consider it if the bird is within 2 hours travelling time from wherever I am based at the time. I have had an incredible run of luck over the last two years in that I have been positioned to twitch rare bird species in places such as Katima Mulilo in Namibia (I was in nearby Kasane Botswana at the time), Strandfontein Sewage works in Cape Town (I was visiting Cape Town), Stilbaai on the Southern Cape Coast (I was in Mossel Bay) and Mkombo dam in Limpopo Province (I was at home in Pretoria), all without breaking my rule.

Trevor Hardaker kindly sent out an email note on Friday morning to all SARBN subscribers and the calls started coming in as we commenced our drive on the N3 to Durbs. Some time after our halfway lunch stop at Harrismith, the game drive was fully taken up, Phinda’s invoice received and paid and details had been sent to the 5 other participants.

HomeAll Posts...Game Reviewames I’ve ever played. It’s nigh on flawless.
The game is beautiful, enormous, and incredibly polished. The controls are tight enough they feel like an extension of your body. On top of that, this is the kind of game I’ve loved ever since I first discovered there was such a things as computer games.
Jump around. Explore. Wonder what’s just outside the screen.
For me, the platformer is the quintessential computer game, and while I’m sure that can be argued, it’s not an opinion based on logic or reasoning. It’s just the way it is – probably because that’s what I played when I grew up, and what I enjoyed the most.
That’s when the world opened up and it was shown to me that I’d completed about ten percent of the game. There was more to do – a whole lot more to do. My jaw dropped and I sat there trying to make sense of things. I nearly gave up on playing, because it was a bit overwhelming thinking about how much there was left to do.
The world is huge and varied, both visually and mechanically, and when I finally completed the game, after nearly twenty hours of played time, I couldn’t remember a time where anything had felt repetitive.
The story. There is a story, and we’re reminded about it once in a while, but due to the sheer size of the game, and the joy of exploring the world and solving the puzzles, the story gets lost. It’s not that the story is bad, there’s just so much else going on. The story is more of an excuse to go adventuring than something that motivates you to finish the game.
The controls. For the most part, the controls are super tight, but later in the game, it sometimes got a bit complicated for my old brain. Both bumper buttons are used for slingshotting through various hanging anchor points, and I kept getting them mixed up. It’s probably the best way it could be done to give the player full control over the situation, but personally I wasn’t always able to keep up.
The world: enormous.
The polish: splendid.
I could keep heaping praise on the game, but you probably get it now.

Dr said, "There is ample global evidence from eminent medical organisations and research studies that show heart disease reversal is a reality. While hospitals in the west are running such programs successfully, unfortunately no such programs existed in India prior to this. Healthy Heart is devised to fill this lacunae and make evidence-based heart disease reversal accessible to common people outside of a research setting. One of the significant elements of this programe is that it makes cardiologists available to all those who enrol at any time for queries related to heart ailments. Once the patient has enrolled in this programe, the Healthy Heart team will offer its complete care and consultation round-the-clock." (ANI)


Martyn had become bored with the city he’d lived in for many years and was trying to reignite his love for Melbourne by creating new urban legends. For example, Houdini had visited in 1910. He dived into one of the city’s rivers. What, Martyn asked, if some of his unique magic had spilled into the water and infected Melbourne for generations to come?
The Old City Treasury Museum transformed these fantasies into a three-month exhibition. Melbourne and Other Myths presented Martyn’s words alongside found objects. In the exhibition, the stories became secret histories. And one of these myths, about a cult who believe the city is a maze they must escape, inspired EXIT.
‘Curating Modern Myths’ below.
4. Choose one story from your group or combine your stories to create a single myth.
6. Collect a file card. You’ll use this to label your object in the exhibition.
8. Nominate a curator of your object, who will stay with it and explain its story to others.
11. Each group’s curator will record all the tokens for their exhibit on the scoreboard (we used a whiteboard).
Over the coming school year, Parkes students will continue to create activites based on EXIT. Staff and students will make and play games based on the themes of mapping, puzzles, escape, and a world beyond the everyday – and you’ll find those games outside of the classroom too, on the school campus and even on the streets of the town.

Any comments? Ideas? Just a funny little suggestion!
Interesting! I can see where you find the similarities, but I pretty much hated Midnight Fantasy and really like the Midnight Poison — so they're at least different enough that you might like one & not the other
Glad to see someone likes Pure Poison though I cannot appreciate its appeal. My choice of Poison (in descending order would be Hypnotic, Midnight, the original, Tendre, and Pure).
What a shame! Hope you find a happy home for your bottle.

No matter what type of networking event, seminar or conference I attend, when people find out that my passion and life's work is social media, there are two questions I'm asked all the time.
Now let me start off by saying, I don't have a huge twitter following, nor do I want one. Why? Well, Twitter is already super noisy for me, and to try and hear over 500 or even 45,000 followers would be a tremendous overwhelm. Add that to the fact that only 50% of your followers see your message, on any given tweet would mean that I'd have to post the same message over and over, or get a piece of software that would do it for me and that's just not who I am!
I digressed, back to the story, lol.
So, when asked how to find potential clients, affiliates and the like, the answer is Twitter but it's how you use it to do your #social-listening that is whats important here.
The more you narrow it down, the easier it is to find exactly who you want to interact with. Before jumping in and answering questions, make sure to follow all the rules of that Twitter chat. Then move on to an industry that isn't relevant to your niche demographic but ties in. For example, if your industry is auto mechanics you may want to look for travel cups distributors or car wash owners. I'm sure, by now you have an idea of how this can benefit your company and help you to get social.


In a democracy, the people exercise their entitlement to govern themselves through the agency of their chosen representatives whom they name in periodic elections. Individuals are ambitious and dynamic enough to covet ruling authority and power, and compete with one another for the people’s favour. They appear before voters, introduce themselves, say what they stand for and what their image of a good society is, promise to heed their needs and aspirations and deliver to them the good things of life. In many instances, their audiences know them, their antecedents and their status in society. There are cases in which the aspirant for elective office is running on his own steam, but more often, he belongs to a political party and contests the election as its nominee. To this extent, the election becomes a contest between political parties and their managers or, if you will, their leaders. Combinations and alliances may be made to oppose counter-alliances.
The existing parliament will reach the end of its five-year term on March 15 and new elections will be held within 90 days of its dissolution. The more general expectation is that they will be held somewhere in the first quarter of May. More than 100 groups havs political parties entitled to participate in the coming election. Most of them are wholly obscure and the great majority of people have never even heard of them. About ten of them are known entities and will be active participants in the election. A few of them maintain a presence in all parts f the country while some of them, being mainly ethnic or linguistic, have influence largely in certain specific areas. Such for instance are the MQM, ANP, PML-F, and the Baloch nationalists. The PPP and PML-N are notable as nationwide parties whereas the MQM and ANP are limited for the most part to the Urdu-speaking towns in Sindh and the Pashtuns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa respectively. The JUI and JI maintain visibility throughout the country but their electoral support is limited to specific areas or religious groups.
The PML-N is emerging as one of the more potent contestants in the next election. Punjab is its stronghold, which sends 148 members on the general seats to the National Assembly. The more optimistic of its managers expect to win as many as 100 of these seats. This is probably a case of exaggerated self-confidence but we will leave it at that for the moment. Mian Nawaz Sharif has been addressing public meetings in Sindh to establish his party’s presence in that province. Reports have it that he has been able to muster the support of numerous Sindhi influential politicians who do not approve of the PPP. One of the most important Sindhi notables, Mumtaz Bhutto, has formally joined the PML-N. His support to Sharif after the elections would add significantly to the latter’s status in the National Assembly and his proclaimed design to be this country’s next prime minister.
These calculations on Sharif’s part do not seem to take account of the challenge that Imran Khan and his party will pose to him in Punjab. Khan is not out recruiting allies and coalition partners. This has caused the impression in certain quarters that he is standing alone. Another version of his posture contends that his slow movement is a matter of timing. He wants to defer active campaigning to a time closer to the election. He has called a general meeting of his party workers and supporters at Minar-e-Pakistan on March 23. It is believed that he will launch his full-scale campaign at that time. This strategy will remove the necessity of his broadcasting his message over and over again to the fatigue and boredom of his listeners. Apparently, that is the way he wants it. He says that the conduct of traditional politicians has brought the country to the brink of ruin, and that he must intervene to stop them. If the election results do not enable him to reach high office, he will occupy the opposition benches and safeguard the public good from that position. He is expected to win over many of the young people in the cities and some of the ‘electables’ in rural areas. His party will thus put together a substantial presence in the next National Assembly.
The PPP is not as well situated in Punjab as its main rivals but it is still likely to grab most of the 45 or so NA seats in southern Punjab. It may win close to 10 seats elsewhere in the province, a majority of them in Sindh, and may thus emergeminor parties will not be able to enhance their electoral fortunes significantly. The MQM will retain its 25 or so seats in its Urdu speaking constituencies. The ANP’s Pashtun vote bank will remain intact.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman is trying to take advantage of an unexpected development. A spokesman of the Taliban has sent word that his party is willing to negotiate peace with the present regime if the Maulana, Sharif, and the JI will guarantee the good faith and seriousness of these talks. Most of the politicians have taken the position that talks with the Taliban should be held. Maulana Fazlur Rehman has seized the management of this venture. It remains to be seen how it will go and what advantages will ensue to him as a result.
It used to be the MQM’s custom to lend its support to the government of the day and become a partner in the ruling coalition. It has recently decided to fabricate a distinct and separate presence of its own in the National Assembly. We will have to wait and see how this strategy will work out.

Late on Monday, Instagram users began reporting that the widely popular photo-sharing app was not working for them. In response, makers of the app said on Twitter that the “small number of people” experiencing crashes should reinstall the app to fix the problem.
@instagram Did that several time and it's not solved.
There are fewer new reports of the app crashing, according to downdetector.com and some users have also said their apps are working after the reinstall. But it seems that many users are still unable to use it. The outage seems to have affected the U.S., Japan, Australia and parts of Southeast Asia.


Thorsten Heins, the current CEO of Research In Motion (RIM), has told the German newspaper Die Welt that Blackberry 10 may be licensed to third-party manufacturers. Unfortunately, RIM likely won’t license the hardware until after RIM’s own hardware hits the market and has a chance to prove itself. When asked by the publication, Heins said the following:
“Before you licensed the software, you must show that the platform has a large potential. First we have to fulfill our promises. If such proof, a licensing is conceivable.”
In the past, RIM has never licensed its Blackberry operating system to third-party manufactures and has always produced its own hardware. If licensed, Blackberry 10 would be opened to a whole new world of hardware innovation, something which RIM is currently lacking.
Blackberry 10 is expected to launch on January 30th. The operating system has been delayed multiple times over the past year in order to give both RIM and third-party developers time to prepare for the launch of the OS. This iteration of the Blackberry operating system has been rebuilt from the ground up in hopes of regaining lost marketshare for the company.

There was a time when RIM could do no wrong. It enjoyed a dominating market share in North America, and enjoyed a massive cult status. With the advent of iOS and Android, things changed rapidly and the tables were turned on RIM. However, things are about to change now. Recently, RIM demoed its Blackberry 10 OS back in December last year, and people have been waiting for the January 30th launch of Blackberry 10 since the day Network world posted that awesome video.
As we get closer to the launch date, RIM has thrown in another surprise with its portathon event.

RIM, Focus on Consumers, Not Carriers
RIM showcased early versions of new BlackBerry devices to carriers in Canada, Mexico and the United States, and here’s what they had to say about it:
They were visibly positive and visibly enthusiastic.”
With still around a year to go, RIM may be too late to market and is likely to fail. Another thing — RIM still doesn’t seem to get that it’s not about the carriers (it might have been the case earlier, but the iPhone changed the game), but the consumers.

Kodak Fails at Patent Trolling; Loses Lawsuit Against Apple & RIM
Kodak has been in dire straits for more than a year. Ever since it filed for bankruptcy, it has been trying to somehow monetize its massive patent portfolio which covers a lot of digital imaging applications, a space which Kodak was a leader in.
It had sued a lot of mobile industry leaders like Apple, HTC, RIM and Samsung for patent infringement relating to the use of digital cameras in smartphones.
This week, it lost a patent case against Apple and Research in Motion, as the presiding judge ruled that the patent in question was invalid. The judge also ruled that neither Apple or RIM had violated any trade laws, and so no injunction could be enforced against the sale of any of their products.
The patent, which was related to previewing images with a digital camera, was one of Kodak’s most important patents. It has signed licensing deals for image previewing patents with multiple companies including Samsung and LG.
If the patent is indeed invalid, Kodak’s patent auction last month may fail, and it may not be able to raise the “billions of dollars” that it thinks its patent portfolio is worth.
Kodak has obviously stated that it will appeal the ruling. After all, its entire value depends on how much it can get from its patent portfolio now.

RIM Keeps Going Downhill, Loses Another Top Official, More Layoffs Coming
RIM’s downfall started in Q1 2011, when it announced a drop in revenue, coupled with a huge layoff of 2000 employees. Its stocks fell to the lowest since 2006, and on further inspection, it was found that it had been on a downhill journey since 2008. RIM market caps dropped to a record low, and left it in no shape to compete with Android and iPhone. Things became so grave that it set a record for the biggest world-market share loser in 2011.
RIM started this year with approximately 16,000 employees, but now that it wishes to streamline its operations, another layoff is on its way and this one is going to be massive. RIM is about to hand out pink slips to nearly 6000 employees. This will be the largest layoff in the history of RIM, thereby reducing its workforce by 40% (approximately).
RIM announced a strategic review of its business in March. The objective of the strategic review was to refocus the plummeting business of RIM and place it back where it used to be years ago. RIM Chief Executive, Thorsten Heins said,
We believe that BlackBerry cannot succeed if we tried to be everybody’s darling and all things to all people. Therefore, we plan to build on our strength.
Following the trend of top officials like Jim Balsillie, CTO David Yach and COO Jim Rowan leaving for greener pastures, RIM’s global sales head Patrick Spence has resigned recently.
RIM also withdrew its plans for providing its flagship BBM across multiple mobile platforms. This is a clear indication of the fact that RIM lacks focus. If this indeed is true, RIM will need more than layoffs to save itself.

RIM Stops Cross Platform BBM Support Development
Research In Motion’s (RIM) popular messaging app, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), which RIM was supposed to bring to other platforms including Android, iOS, and Windows Phone has now canned its further development.
RIM has recently lost its market dominance in the smartphone market. However, its messaging app, BBM, is still popular and remains one of the reason for customers opting for BlackBerry devices. The project which was unofficially called “SMS 2.0″ within the company, has left few of the RIM’s executives worried that licensing BBM to competitors would further diminish any incentive to buy a BlackBerry.

RIM Finally Appoints CMO & COO
Research In Motion (RIM), has finally filled in the gap created by former CMO Keith Pardy’s resignation from the position. RIM just announced that it has hired French telecom executive Frank Boulben  as the company’s new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Apart from that, RIM also hired Kristian Tear as Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Previously, Kristian served as Executive Vice President at Sony Mobile Communications AB, as a Chairman of the Product Business Council, Chairman of the Accessories Business Unit, Board member of Sony Mobile Japan and China. He has also served as the Corporate Vice President of Sony Ericsson Western Europe based in Munich, with responsibility for the region Western Europe and Global Customer Accounts.  Prior to that, he served as Corporate Vice President at Sony Ericsson Headquarters in London.  From 1999-2005, he served as President and CEO of Ericsson in various regions and markets, including in South East Asia, Germany, Switzerland and Austria and Central America. As for Frank Boulben, he comes LightSquared where he served as Executive Vice President for Strategy, Marketing and Sales.
RIM, of late, has been in huge turmoil. RIM’s share price has tumbled more than 75 percent in the past 13 months. BlackBerry’s market share has been more or less flat and had failed to attract customers in last couple of months. RIM’s global smartphone market share slipped to 6.7 percent in the first quarter of 2012 from 13.6 percent a year earlier, according to research firm IDC. The only thing that could save RIM is BlackBerry 10 OS which is not making its debut until late 2012.
If you look at RIM’s recent marketing strategies — wakeupbehold, it’s just yawn-worthy even though it’s trying to take a jab at Apple’s iPhone. RIM needs someone to make BlackBerry’s cool. With the new hires, hopefully, RIM will suck less now.

Introductory Profile: About Dan Hurley
I interviewed my grandfather, Dan Hurley. He was an officer in the Air Force. At one point while serving in the Air Force security forces, he guarded the president. I have heard stories from him and my dad about cool things he did in the military. I know he has moved all around the world, and he lived in South Korea on an Army base for a joint assignment. My dad and his sister lived in Korea as well.
In this interview I will be covering what it is like to live all around and to never know where you will be going next, what it is like to adapt to living in a separate country then you were born in and possibly learning a new language, and what it is like to be in the military with a family.


:: Been a little busy lately but finishing up the last few posts for Boston! ::
Last full day in Boston, we were determined to check out one of the popular Italian restaurants. A lot in North End do not take reservation so we decided to check out the Giacomo's in South End because they actually accept reservation! The Giacomo's in North End is probably one of the best Italian restaurant in Boston, and from the reviews, it's South End brother is just as good.
We wanted to grab brunch, but since we woke up late, we didn't get to eat until around 1pm with the wait at the small North Street Grille.
Lobster Benedict with light hollandaise.
Lobster chunks and the poached egg.
I wish I can poach eggs like this hahah.
I paid $3.00 for the pancakes add on. Legit maple syrup. Didn't care too much for the pancakes.
It was good, but not sure if I'd wait an hour for it the next time. Or maybe I'm just not a brunch person still.
We really didn't have any plan for the rest of the day until Giacomo's, so we decided to check out the touristy Faneuil Hall Marketplace. It's essentially a few historical buildings converted into a nice outdoor shopping mall. It also serves as a visitor center for the popular Freedom Trail.
Quite a few buildings makes up Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Quincy Market is the building that hosts all the food vendors though!
"Soup & other Great Stuff"
Around $6-7 for a bag of cookies. Pretty pricey for 12 small cookies, but at least I got to mix & match! Pumpkin chocolate chip was the most interesting!
Stopped by Thinking Cup for iced latte before we headed towards the site.
Pretty amazing I must say. Lots of people leaving flowers, notes, and everything Boston related.
Lots of marathon runners left their shoes here as well to show support.
One of the bomb sites.
I must say,e, and once I did, really didn't know what to think. I must've stood at one of the remembrance area for about 10 minutes just reading what people wrote. It was also a bit surreal to see the boarded up windows, because it really is a reminder that it did happen and that I was no longer sitting behind a TV or a monitor looking at this from afar.
Between Pembroke St & Holyoke St
One of the best thing about Giacomo's is that their bottles are extremely affordable. I believe this was less than $40.
Had to start with some Fried Calamari. Love the fresh seafood Boston has to offer.
Caprese! Tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil.
Seriously so sad that we didn't get to eat lobster, especially we saved up the lobster feast for this dinner too.
A trip wouldn't be complete without visiting a high rise with a view, and for Boston, we decided to check out the Top of the Hub, located high up in the Prudential Tower.
Between Fairfield St & Gloucester St
View from our seat!
Black Barrel Cider.
Boston's Bully Boy Smash. Bully Boy White Whiskey, lemon, mint, and cane sugar for the cocktail. Bully Boy Whiskey is actually a small distillery in Boston! Pretty cool.
The best part is probably opening up the chocolate cake and watching the chocolate lava slowly oozing out. Dayum it was chocolatey!
After that we went back to the hotels and prepped for our half day in Boston before my flight out and before Diana & Jadson continue their East Coast swing to NYC!

Predictable and generic.
Horrible character models.
I played Syndrome at Rezzed earlier this year and even did a preview piece on it months ago. I remember its atmosphere got to me so strongly, the developers had to reassure me that nothing was going to happen anytime soon, as I went straight into “survival horror” mode: crouching, sticking to the shadows and moving a silently as possible.
As I continued to play Syndrome beyond the preview segment, for this full review, I still felt that atmosphere, one of oppressive dread, something that you expect to see in all horror games but don’t get every time. The clever placing of light sources makes the shadows deeper and plays tricks with your eyes and your expectations.
The inventory doesn’t even remotely match the rest of the game’s aesthetics or even quality!
But soon Syndrome lost me and never got me back, and it did so by proving itself a generic Sci-Fi horror title, following the same story and overall beats as others have in the past. As I ripped the hand off a corpse, I knew that a monster would come after me before the obligatory roar and sudden tense music played. When on Deck 4 I completed the objective, I knew I had to hightail it to the elevator. The NPC didn’t need to waste his time telling me of the onslaught of enemies coming my way.
Syndrome, while being a perfectly competent horror game, fails in doing anything original. If you’ve played any of the System Shock games, or Dead Space or even seen Event Horizon, you’ll know where the plot is going, what the characters are about and you’ll see the major twists coming a mile away. Hell, you’ll know what the monsters are and where they came from as well!
There is truly nothing unique about Syndrome from a storytelling perspective, as Camel101 is happy in retreading familiar ground. There is a single “surprising twist” in the game. It’s about the character’s identity and it’s a surprise because of how incoherent and incredibly inconsequential it is to the overall plot. At no point will you care about the protagonist, so any revelations about him are pointless, as is the fate of anyone on this infested ship.
Visually speaking, Syndrom’s environments are amazing. The UI is rather clunky, particularly the ugly inventory screen and the widely unhelpful map. Items in the inventory seem to have different levels of modeling quality compared to the rest of the game.
You can say the same of character models. It’s obvious that Camel101 used its entire resources in making the environments as good as they are but with little thought, time or money for anything else.
I approve of this save point design!
Voice acting in Syndrome is quite nice with a believable cast. The soundtrack is good but the predictability of its use robs it of any emotional impact it could’ve had.
In terms of gameplay, Syndrome’s greatest strength lies in the freedom it gives you in dealing with threats. You can hide and move around in the shadows, trying to make as little noise a possible to not draw attention to yourself, or you could go all out and kill everything in your path.
Wait until dialogue is complete? What…the…hell?
Fighting monsters in Syndrome takes practice, especially since many of them skip their combat animations when you hit them, so often you’ll take damage while the creature stands still, and it’s because while your damage interrupted its animation, it doesn’t make them flinch or cancel the attack.
It’s frankly annoying, getting worse with the more powerful enemies, and one of the reasons I often just ignored enemies until I picked up the bigger guns, though even those have their caveats. Even the most powerful guns sometimes feel like wet noodles, the enemies ignoring them completely. There is a sever lack of balance in the game’s weaponry, almost as though the developers never intended you to fight them head-on.
Syndrome has the making of a very good horror game, if only it had attempted something new and not a simple retread of common Sci-Fi Horror tropes. Its lack of originality and predictability kill the immersion and scare-factor.


How narrative voice and dialogue are used in Pride & Prejudice
In this passage Jane Austen uses different narrative techniquewithin it. These techniques include ‘showing’, when direct speech  and ‘telling’, in the form of focalization and free indirect speech which givesWe see how Austen uses the narrative voice to draw in the reader and capture their attention. The first paragraph in this passage is written by an omniscient narrator, which enables Austen to relate details to the reader in a neutral tone without having to show the full dialogue or thinking of the characters involved. The narrator is able to convey directly how the character is feeling and what has happened. The paragraph is written in the third person and the fact that all the reader knows is that ‘Elizabeth related to Jan’ means that the reader is forced to place an element of trust in the narrator – although we don’t know exactly what Elizabeth said and how she said it, we trust that the narrator is presenting an accurate and unbiased view. The fact that the narrator is telling rather than showing is less dramatic, but gives us an insight into the characters themselves without having to read pages of dialogue. With the exception of the first line the narrator focalizes through Jane, which is unusual as most of the narration in the book is written from Elizabeth’s point of view. ‘amiable appearance’ and ‘tender feelings’e’s character, as it is consistent with the
Grade a: Yale Egg's
While the sister will have different opinions on situations, seeing these personalized viewpoints help the reader to make a connection to all the sisters and furthermore, the entire book. Dedé's third-person view gives the reader a feeling that the story revolves around her, and that she acts as a sort of narrator for the book. In the first chapter, her words as well as the true narration from Alvarez set up foreshadowing for the entire plot. It makes it very easy for the reader to get “lost in (Dedé’s) memories (…) searching for the answers” (Alvarez 5) just like she does. The reader learns about how Dede, the sister who survived, has to deal with many interviews even after years that her sisters have died.

Entrepreneur, Engineer, and Accountant All on Track?
Being your own boss is a great feeling. But there is one thing missing. There is no-one to tell you what to do. How can that be a drawback?
The engineer is the one who comes up with the goods. The one who disappears in his attic to emerge two weeks later in an eureka moment shouting: "It works!
The accountant is the conservative type. He has to tone down the other two above. He is risk-adverse and opposes change and innovation. His pride is a good cash flow and a nice steady increase in profits. His idea of the future?Superannuation. His favourite hobby?
You can see from the start that these people are set for a conflict because their motivations are so different. That could be the reason why small business partnerships fail. Now consider the implications when those 3 roles are concentrated on the one and same person!

If you type “translators are” into Google…
…you’ll notice several autocomplete suggestions, one of which reads: “translators are a waste of space”. Ouch! Despite the not-so-pleasant sentiment, I feel this search perfectly encapsulates how translators are often perceived today: “why do we need human translators when we’ve got Google Translate?”.
Alas, many people seem to believe that translators are already a thing of the past and that MT (Machine Translation) systems can already produce the same quality as professional translators.
Fortunately for me and my fellow translators, that’s not the case and MT systems have some serious issues.
But the big one is comprehension
MT systems rely primarily on syntax and grammar. They search for patterns and focus on rules rather than understanding meaning. They therefore approach translation from a completely different angle to human translators, who have a much deeper understanding of reality and the logic that underpins a given situation. MT is restricted to the words alone. Where it uses position and form to decode a sentence, we use our knowledge and experience to decipher meaning. MT systems therefore lack some of the fundamental building blocks required to grasp and reproduce natural, accurate language.
Referents are a great way to highlight exactly what I’m talking about. Humans are pretty good at understanding referents based on context. For instance, have a look at the following sentence: “The laptop wouldn’t fit in the bag because it was too big.” Now, what would you say if I asked you: what was too big? There’s no trick.
I’m sure you would say: “well, it was the laptop that was too big but that’s obvious!” And for humans, it is. We know that bags usually contain things and that laptops don’t. We understand the logic of the situation and that larger things can’t fit inside smaller ones. For us, it’s obvious what the ‘it’ refers to.
But it wouldn’t be obvious to the MT engine
MT systems don’t have this wider understanding of objects and concepts. Consequently, they are often tripped up by referents in languages where ‘it’ could be rendered differently, depending on the gender of the noun that it refers to. For example, ‘laptop’ is masculine in German (der Laptop) and ‘bag’ is feminine (die Tasche). You would therefore use different referents (‘er’ for masculine nouns and ‘sie’ for feminine ones).
Mistakes in referencing the wrong noun or object can naturally lead to confusion but it’s not hard to imagine situations in which they could also turn out to be life-threatening. Safety instructions, medical procedures, product warnings, etc.
Specialist MT systems perform slightly better as they are trained in a highly specialised subset of language, e.g., medical. This narrows the context considerably and helps boost the likelihood that the system will identify and use the correct referent. Even so, they are still a long way from being able to produce the level of quality required without some form of human involvement (e.g., post-editing).
Ultimately, all MT systems currently lack the human experience required for real understanding. AI may solve this issue in the future and recent developments have shown real potential but even the much-lauded GPT-3 still struggles with referents, for instance.
It’s going to take much more sophisticated AI algorithms and incredibly complex code to come close to real human understanding. And that’s MT’s big shortcoming: the shallowness of its comprehension.

The Secret to Writing Really Good Ads


Dr.ecords, Genealogical Sources
Rthe Public Records in 1922, can be quite informative. Standardised forms were introduced for the use of the Church of Ireland clergy as early as 1800. The standardised forms request the name, aged and address of the decease as well as the date and place of their burial. These forms were updated at the beginning of the 1850s and included spaces for the priest or parish clerk to insert the name of the deceased, abode, when buried, age and by who the ceremony was performed.
Prior to the standardisation of Church of Ireland Burial Registers (ca. 1800) many notes and comments can by observed. For example, the parish priest of the Church of Ireland Parish of Carlow had this comment to make on a man he buried in 1783:
While the extent of this observation is quite unusual it is in no way unique. A brief inspection of the Burial Register for the Church of Ireland Parish of Clonmel (Cobh), Co. Cork, for example, noted the following burials:
1769, January 9th. Richard Greeves, soldier (occasioned by a fall over the cliff near the Barrack).
Even after the introduction of standard forms in the 1850s Church of Ireland Clergy could still be seen providing addition information, as in this example from the Church of Ireland Parish of Desertserges, Co Cork:


It might surprise you, but believe us when we say that not everyone who builds an application thinks about the consumers.  Well, the answer lies in the fact that sometimes as inventors, we get so excited about our idea that we forget to even consider the possibility that someone may not find our app as useful as we think.
For some of us, visionaries, the idea of even the slightest validation comes along with that shaken certainty – if I have to validate my application, is it really as good as I was thinking? And what if it is not?
Sounds scary, right? It’s natural to be nervous. Especially when it comes to deciding whether an idea to which you are attached has a chance to be warmly welcomed by the public. It gets even more difficult once you have already dedicated A LOT of time and money to designing and development. Or when you have an investor who is waiting to hear the good news from you, not how they put their money in the product that didn’t have a chance to succeed from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, there are several aspects that could hinder your product’s win, even if your idea was excellent.
Firstly, possible errors and difficulties on the website or in the application contribute to users’ frustration. You may or may not be aware of these issues. However, if they exist, you need to know that when not detected and improved, they will result in users abandoning your product, probably forever. For example, an obstructed purchasing process may be to blame. In that case, users almost always will give up the purchase and never use the app again. Statisticallecondly, verifying whether your solution will actually meet the real needs of users is a must. Yes, your product may look great, but primarily, it must be useful for your users. There is a reason why “Focus on the user and all else will follow” is the number one rule in Google’s “Ten Things” philosophy.
People need to use digital products on a daily basis, so they will choose the products that make their life simpler, not harder. Would you keep on using something that doesn’t fulfill any of your requirements just because it has a nice design? Not really, right? It’s the same with your end-users and that’s why you should always focus on building a product that solves their real problems.
Ultimately, all of these aspects have an impact on building an effective customer flow that will provide users with simple and intuitive navigation. So, what is the best practice to conduct a product validation that can help you find answers to how to develop a product that is great in all respects? Here is where usability testing comes in handy!
What is usability testing and why is it the key to successful validation of every product?
Usability testing is a UX research technique ion future or actual users. It provides direct information on how users interact with the system by simply asking them to complete a specific task and observing how they go through with it. Generally, it helps to understand users’ behavior and see what is their natural response to various functionalities in your app.
Thanks to this method, you can be sure that your product and its functions meet the expectations of the target group. You can see if users get lost while navigating the app and which moments are causing the difficulty. And then, you can immediately introduce some improvements.
One of the biggest advantages of usability testing is that this method will work regardless of whether you are at the stage of building a product or you want to improve an already existing application.
In both cases, product testing and validation are beneficial. In the first one, of course, because thanks to the direct verification with users, you will avoid launching sufficiently.
In the second case, even if your application is running smoothly and users are, well, using it, a periodic UX audit will prevent you from being left behind. There are some unchanging principles and heuristics of effective design. However, market trends keep on evolving, and once a well-made product is not the end of the adventure.
Which UX problems can be solved with usability testing?
Several User Experience related issues can easily be addressed with the help of one simple UX research method – usability testing. Let’s see some of the most common cases.
As we established before, your idea for a product or the app you have created is probably great. But, to achieve the intended goals, satisfy investors, provide users with a really good product, and finally, feel satisfaction, the word probably must disappear from your dictionary. Let’s leave the assumptions behind and look for the facts. Usability testing will provide you with real information based on user experiences about what does and what doesn’t work in your product.
Even if you checked very carefully, there still might be some issues or minor errors that hinder the customer flow in your app. A new set of eyes, especially as critical as your users, can come in handy in detecting faulty links, site flaws, and grammatical mistakes that escaped your attention.
Have you really thought about that while working on UX? It’s not unusual that sometimes we focus so much on a nice-looking interface that we forget one crucial aspect – will the target audience find it intuitive? For example, when creating an app for the elderly, don’t inspire yourself with products dedicated to teenagers. Since usability testing is a user-centered UX research method, it will save you from this common mistake.
Usability validation encompasses tests and trials with real customers. Thus, if you observe them carefully and then respond to their requirements, there is a good chance of making your product well suited to the audience. Regular check-ups and continuous communication with end-users will result in delivering the most user-friendly product possible.
Having trouble keeping good retention in your app? Customer retention measures how thriving a business is at gaining new users and how effective it is at meeting clients’ expectations. Additionally, it increases ROI, boosts loyalty, and brings in new users. If you don’t know what you are doing wrong and why your retention scores are low – conduct a usability test. It will help uncover users’ pain points and deliver improved UX. In return, you can count on better retention and higher conversion rates.
When it comes to discussing UX improvements, you might assume in advance that any change will come along with a time-consuming and expensive process. False! Very often, it is the small adjustments that bring the most value. Unnecessary or ill-designed If you test zero users, then the result will be zero insight. But, once you gain information from a single consumer, your insights boost instantly and you get to discover nearly a third of all there is to know about the design’s usability.
If you take another user, you will find that they share some of the first person’s experiences but provide some new insights, too. People differ from one another, so the second user is very likely to add something further. When it comes to the third user, they will tell you mainly about the things you’ve already observed with the first two. Probably with some smaller remarks that weren’t already said by the first two. Therefore, as you add more and more users, you learn fewer and fewer new things. It’s not necessary to keep observing the same actions several times. But, if you adopt a different strategy instead of adding more people and run more and various tests, you will get many more observations.
Wrapping up product validation through techniques such as usability testing cant thing and building a digital product that responds to real market needs. Some say that good UX design means better business. And that’s something they are right about! It’s a strategy that increases the chance of a bigger success and lowers the threat of failure. If you would like some support in this challenge, make sure that you get yourself an experienced and open-minded team of specialists that will lead you to develop the right solution.

Wethersfield 72,
Mercer County 69
Litton’s three gave Wethersfield its first lead since the opening quarter.
“We just overcame adversity,” added Litton of the rally. “We’ve done it a couple of times this year. “We’re mentally tough. That’s something we’ve lacked in the past years that we’ve got this year."
“These kids, and I’ve said it all year, have no quit in them at all,” said Wethersfield coach Jeff Parsons. “Never once did I look in their eyes and think we were going to lose this game. Did I have doubts? You bet I did because Mercer County played really well.”
It was all Mercer County for two-plus quarters as the Golden Eagles erupted for 28 first-quarter points and led 43-26e Geese ended the third frame with a 12-4 run to trail 59-51 going into the final eight minutes.
The Golden Eagles coughed up the ball again, and Litton made them pay with his wide open dagger from the top of the key.
Page 2 of 2 - “How clutch was Tyler Litton? He was wide open and they were doubling Trevor (Lay), and you’ve got to knock it down,” said Parsons of the big shot. “It couldn’t happen to a nicer kid. He’s got more heart than a lot of kids I’ve ever coached.”
Tanner Matlick topped the Golden Eagles with 16.
Galva 60,
Stark County 45
Galva outscored Stark County 19-8 in the final frame to pull away in Friday’s second semifinal contest.

The i1000 Plus model will be available in six cities on the Nextel digital cellular network by the end of the year. It will integrate a digital phone, an alphanumeric pager, a two-way radio, an E-mail device and a microbrowser into a five-ounce cellular phone. It will cost around $250.
When set in Net mode, the Motorola phone fires up the Unwired Planet microbrowser and takes the user to a Web portal maintained by Netscape and Nextel. That portal sends customized information -- snippets of weather or financial news or stock quotes -- to the phone.
A new company called Air Flash is developing a $5-per-month service that uses speech recognition to send, say, movie schedules, stock quotes and phone directory information from the Web to digital cellular phones. Air Flash, in Redwood City, Calif., introduced its technology at the Demo Mobile Conference in Coronado, Calif., earlier this week. The service will be available this summer.

Beyond the questions of market acceptance, there are still technical hurdles to overcome. Standards for sending data from Web sites to wireless devices are still evolving. Cellular carriers are busily enhancing their networks to carry data at higher speeds, but in the meantime most transmission speeds remain relatively snail-like: about 9,600 bits per second, which is considerably more sluggish than a bottom-rung modem running at 14.4 kilobits per second. And different digital cellular networks operate on different and incompatible standards; a phone that works on the Sprint PCS network, for instance, will not necessarily function on others.
In the meantime, all the world's a test site.

Based on the theory of language socialization, academic discourse socialization and oral academic discourse, a qualitative case-study was conducted on two postgraduates from a research public university during their research seminars respectively. Data was obtained through participation observation as well as researcher field notes. The first participant was observed during Seminar 1 which was the defending of proposal while the second participant was observed in Seminar 2 which is the presentation of findings. This research adopted Huberman and Miles' (1994) way of identifying patterns, themes and cluster that emerged from the data in order to analyze it. Data showed the similarities in structure of the research seminar in both sessions and also the differences in interaction during the research seminar in an academic setting. Findings showed that both Research Seminar sessions, which was the Defense of Proposal Seminar and Presentation of Findings Seminar, were highly regulated by expert members especially the chairpersons; the form and order of both sessions were highly structured in an academic setting; and that many different manifestations of 'questioning' was evident in the inquiring of the candidates by the expert members.

M....
Several of Trump's former executives said staffers knew that the last person to talk to the boss about an issue would usually get what he or she wanted. That trait was so reliable that at least one advises Trump, said he would camp out in Trump's office in the final hours ahead of key deadlines, making certain that his would be the last word the boss heard before making his decision.
So that's how Barack Obama can save America, or at least salvage some of what needs preserving: He should make it his goal to speak to President Trump as often as possible, and be the last person to talk to him about every important issue.
There's Obama's post-presidential mission: Be a president whisperer. Get in touch with Trump every day or two, and explain to him that good laws -- Social Security? Medicare? The Iran deal? The Paris accords? -- are "high-flying assets" and "really great things that have been achieved."
Do this, Mr. President. Your country will thank you.
One wonders what Obama said to him about the burdens and constrictions of the Presidency, how trammeled its seeming powers are in reality, how soul-crushing the daily grind is, how impossible to satisfy the kaleidoscopic jumble of competing demands, how thoroughly it consumes one's life and obliterates one's privacy. One wonders what pants-shitting dilemmas Obama outlined for him, yawning chasms of potential catastrophes he'll have to negotiate, with no straightforward pathways to even modest success.
Or at least that's how it seemed to me. I could of course be totally wrong. But I wonder....
Yeh, I can definitely see Trump turning to Obama, yes, and Bill Clinton too, for counsel. Hell, he may even be smart enough to understand that of all the advisors he'll have swarming around him, they may be the most honest brokers of them all, the only ones he can rely on to give it to him straight rather than working him for their own advantage. After all, all those horrible things he said about them during the campaign were just part of the sales game, right? No hard feelings, guys, right?
'Tis a thin reed indeed to cling to, but I'm grasping it hard for now.
Forgot to add: And Bill and Barack are truly dedicated to the public good so much that they'd be willing to let bygones be bygones and help in any way possible to steer the ship of state as far from all the rocks and reefs and surging kraken as they can.
I find it hard to believe anything Trump says. He changes his position depending on how the wind blows.
It'll be who gets to Mike "The Dense" Pence right afterwards.
So now expect them to install a massive program aimed at managing Dump.
Those who have tried to manage Trump have all failed up to now.  But I think Obama will be at least able to have Trump talk to him if he wants. More than W would.
This transition period is all about normalizing the fascist takeover.
If they plan on turning American into a publicly built privately operated network of toll bridges and toll road and airports etc., they'll have Dump say his priority is infrastructure.
It's all in Orwell's Animal Farm: If you say Peace, you mean War. If you say Fairness, you mean to discriminate. If you say Open, you mean Closed.
Dump's role is to emerge down the escalator periodically to say the words that will capture the msm for the cycle.
that Dump is setting up his latest grift?
Which of these two options do their respective histories, and the more recent ones of their respective parties, tell us is the One True Picture?
 Have a safe and pleasant trip back to your verdant pastuers ... schmuck.
The longer this goes on, the more it looks like normal, because it WILL be normal. If the Dems, if we libs, in our lib Dem hope delusions, let this go on for one Congressional session, it'll be too late to do anything about it going into the next presidential election. If we fail in 2018, we WILL fail in 2020.
Here is why: the largest emerging 'bloc' vote is the hispanic vote. But unlike the black bloc vote, they don't have the history of slavery, of a Civil War over their freedom, of the fight for suffrage, of their own skin color imposing a permanent "J" on them. Hispanics have come in here and settled with almost none of that. They want to work, and see unions as devices used in the past to keep them from working. They want to send their kids to school, and see Charter schools as a way for them to gain entry into Catholic colleges. They and their descendants were not snatched from villages where they had a full culture of their own 300 years or more ago and put into slavery; hispanics have come here from the way more recent existential horrors of Central and South American dictatorships.
Hispanics can, will, and already have voted Republican in sufficient numbers to ensure white supremacy will last way longer than it otherwise would. They have done for much the same reasons Muslim Americans enter the armed forces in numbers, as hispanics have done for generations: to ADAPT, to get on with the American Dream: the White Dream.
I've been to Central & South American countries. I've seen and heard there for myself how being whiter, being more 'true Spanish', is a huge cultural advantage there. That's the DREAM for working class hispanics immigrating into the U.S. - to realize HERE what they could not THERE: to become WHITE.

What Is Your Worst Time Of The Day?
What is your worst time of the day?  The time of day for me is typically between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
I can barely function during these times and my young son knows that this is “rest time” in our house. Unfortunately, when he is home rest time usually only lasts 1 hour so I really struggle hard to get through the afternoon.
I would be curious to see if those of us with CFIDS and FM have similar “body clocks”.


See that there be store of lilies.
(Called by shepherds Daffodillies). The Narcissus major, the largest of this family of flowers, a native of Spain, is common in our gardens, and rarely seen single. Its magnificent gold-coloured flowers are supported by a stalk nearly two feet high.
A modern poet has taken the Narcissus for an emblem of the pains of unrequited love. Thus, too, the ancients, on account of its narcotic properties, regarded it as the flower of deceit, which, as Homer assures us, delights heaven and earth by its odour and external beauty, but, at the same time, produces stupor and even death. It was therefore consecrated to the Eumenides, Ceres, and Proserpine, on which account Sophocles calls it the garland of the great goddesses; and Pluto, by the advice of Venus, employed it to entice Proserpine to the lower world.
In the East, the Daffodil is a particular favourite. The Persians call it, by way of eminence, Zerrin, which signifies golden; and by the Turks it is denominated Zerrin Kadech, golden bowl.
The Hawthorn, or White Thorn, was among the Greeks a symbol of the conjugal union; its blossomed boughs were carried about at their wedding festivities, and the new-married couple were even lighted to the bridal chamber with torches of its wood.
Among the Turks a branch of the Hawthorn expresses the wish of a lover to receive a kiss from the object of his affection.
In England, where the hedges, principally formed of Hawthorn, give such beauty and diversity to our landscapes, and where the air is perfumed during the season of flowering by the aromatic fragrance of its blossom, this shrub held a distinguished place among the May-day sports of our ancestors. From its flowering in that month, it received the name of May, by which it is still more frequently called than by its proper appellation.
ing, “.” People of all ranks joined in this recreation. King Henry VIII. rode a-maying from Greenwich to Shooter's Hill,with his queen Katherine, accompanied by many lords and ladies.
In the country, the juvenile part of both sexes were accustomed to rise soon after midnight, and walk to some neighbouring wood, accompanied with music and the blowing of horns; there they would break branches from the trees, and adorn them with nosegays and crowns of flowers. This done, they returned homeward about sunrise with their booty, and decorated their doors and windows with the flowery spoil. The after-part of the day was chiefly spent in dancing round a tall pole, called a May-pole; which, being placed in a convenient part of the village, stood there, consecrated as it were to the goddess of flowers, without suffering the least violation during the whole year.
Herrick, in his beautiful poem of “ Corinna's going a-maying," has also given us some idea of the manner in which this day was kept in his time.
And open fields, and we not see't ?
But, my Corinna, come; let's go a Maying.

A few days after my daughter's due date, I awoke early to a contraction. Shortly after a few consistent cycles, I climbed into the tub at our home. The warmth and buoyancy of the water helped alleviate some of the pain. After an hour at home, we headed to the hospital. Almost immediately, I climbed into the birthing tub. Already dilated to a 7, the pain was becoming increasingly severe. As I sunk into the water, I felt a tangible calm wash over me. Ten thousand horses could not have moved me from that tub!Just a half hour after a physical and emotional intensity that I cannot describe, she was born into the water. In total, my labor was a rush of only 2 hours and 20 minutes (what a contrast from a 27-hour labor with my first!

When it comes to vacuuming, end users are eager to “cut the cord.”
Battery-powered vacuums allow janitors to move around the building freely and efficiently — particularly in high-rise buildings where cord management can quickly become a hindrance.
“One of the reasons people want battery equipment is the lack of electrical outlets,” says Rich Steinberg, vice president of sales for ProTeam Inc., Boise, Idaho. “If you have elevators and stairwells that need to be cleaned, but you don’t have enough outlets, you have to run hundreds of feet of cord, and that cord can be a trip hazard. Cordless equipment eliminates that hazard.”
“I think the biggest hurdle is trying to develop products that still provide full features and full power,” says Eric Hickman, product manager for Power-Flite, Fort Worth, Texas. “Machines that only surface-clean or don’t clean well aren’t going to last long in this industry because it’s all about the results you’re getting. If it’s not cleaning the carpet well, you’re wasting your time.”
“When you look at a typical battery product, the runtime is 15 to 20 minutes, or 30 minutes for a premium product,” he says. “For commercial applications, the technology is not there yet for a viable battery powered cleaning, but the technology seems to be advancing rapidly.”
For price-conscious consumers, the cost of battery-powered vacuums is simply too high.
“We found that while people liked the performance of our [battery vacuum], they didn’t like the price and very few of them were sold,” says Bob Abrams, product manager of vacuums for Nilfisk-Advance, Plymouth, Minn.
“We have to sell one of these batteries at around $900, and there are two required for each machine,” says Abrams. “So that’s also what’s keeping battery vacuums from being viable in the marketplace.”
