"Unreal is a first-person shooter. Its story is mostly told through short text messages, deciphered via a translator from computer stations, personal logs, books and signs."
"The game features a weapon arsenal of ten guns, each with two firing modes. Besides standard pistols, rocket/grenade launchers, miniguns and sniper rifles, there are such items as the Bio Rifle, which fires blobs of toxic waste which stick to walls and enemies, the Flak Cannon, which sprays deadly shrapnel, and the Razorjack, which shoots spinning blades that ricochet off walls. The secondary firing mode might allow a charged shot, sacrifice accuracy for speed, or even make it possible to guide the projectile.
The game also includes a multiplayer mode. Ten deathmatch maps are available for free-for-all, team deathmatch or a variant called 'King of the Hill'. A special mode is DarkMatch, for which one special map is available. In DarkMatch, the map is without any illumination, and players must use a searchlight to see anything. The deathmatch modes can be played against bots, and the game also offers a cooperative version of the single player campaign.
Works on OS X PPC with the patch, might run in Rosetta.
First thing. I have max RAM. Doesn't make any sense.
Did you try to manually allocate more memory to the application?
Was trying to install this in OS9 (then add the OSX Support) and it keeps giving me an "Error Type 1".
I'm new to SheepShaver, I only installed it yesterday lol.
Unreal crashes my installation.. I was gutted :/ Still am of course but now I know why it fails. Thanks.
You can find it at the Old Mac Archive. We can no longer link directly to there because of potential problems with automated takedown notices by copyright robots.

All I see is collective capitulation!!
Trump said he can't do that as a negotiator while taking sides.
Cruz then responded, "This is another area on which Donald agrees with Hillary Clinton. And on which I disagree with them both strongly. Both Donald and Hillary Clinton want to be 'neutral,' to use Donald's word, between Israel and the Palestinians.
"Let me be clear, if I'm president, America will stand unapologetically with the nation of Israel. The notion of neutrality is based upon the left buying into this moral relativism that is often pitched in the media. Listen, it is not equivalent. When you have terrorists strapping dynamite around their chests, exploding and murdering innocent women and children, they are not equivalent to the IDF officers protecting Israel. And I will not pretend that they are.
"Just today Iran announced they're going to pay $7,000 to each suicide bomber. I would note: Missing from Donald's answer was anything he has done, in his nearly 70 years of living, defending Israel."
Cruz concluded, "I have, over and over again, led the fight to defend Israel, to fight for Israel, and if you want to know who will stand with Israel, let's start with who has stood with Israel when the heat was on."
Blitzer asked Rubio what's wrong with the U.S. being an "honest broker" in negotiations, as Trump has proposed.
"Because, I don't know if Donald realizes this, I'm sure it's not his intent, perhaps, but the position you've taken is an anti-Israel position, and here's why," Rubio said.
"You cannot be an honest broker in a dispute between two sides in which one of the sides is constantly acting in bad faith. The Palestinian Authority has walked away from multiple efforts to make peace, very generous offers from the Israelis.
"Instead, here's what the Palestinians do: They teach their four-year-old children that killing Jews is a glorious thing. Here's what Hamas does: They launch rockets and terrorist attacks against Israel on an ongoing basis.
"The bottom line is, a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, given the current makeup of the Palestinians, is not possible. And, so the next president of the United States needs to be someone like me, who will stand firmly on the side of Israel.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I'm not on either side. I will be on Israel's side every single day because they are the only pro-American, free-enterprise democracy in the entire Middle East."
Rubio's statements drew wild cheers from the audience.
Asked to respond, Trump said, "I'm a negotiator," adding, "And in all fairness, Marco is not a negotiator."
Rubio charged, "He thinks (negotiating with) the Palestinians is a real-estate deal."
"These people may even be tougher than Chris Christie," taunted Trump.
Rubio repeated his argument that dealing with the Palestinians would not be like making a real-estate deal, to which Trump replied, "A deal is a deal."
"A deal is not a deal when you're dealing with terrorists," retorted Rubio. "Have you ever negotiated with terrorists?"
"You are not a negotiator, and with your thinking, you will never bring peace," replied Trump.
Rubio reiterated, "Donald may be able to bring condos to the Palestinian areas, but ... this is not a real-estate deal."

Bataan Death March facts for kids
Bataan Death March
Part of the Battle of Bataan, World War II
Route of the death march; the section from San Fernando to Capas was by rail cars.
Mariveles, Bataan and Bagac, Bataan to Capas, Tarlac, Luzon Island, Philippines
Casualties and losses
Exact figures are unknown. Estimates range from 5,650 to 18,000 POW deaths.
The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of 60,000–80,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war from Saysain Point, Bagac, Bataan and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, via San Fernando, Pampanga, where the prisoners were loaded onto trains.
The transfer began on April 9, 1942, after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II.
The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to Camp O'Donnell is variously reported by differing sources as between 60 and 69.6 miles (96.6 and 112.0 km).
Differing sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the march. The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and killings.
After the war, the Japanese commander, General Masaharu Homma and two of his officers were tried in United States military commissions on charges of failing to prevent their subordinates from committing war crimes.

On April 9, 1942, as the final stage of the Battle of Bataan, approximately 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers, commanded by Major General Edward "Ned" P. King, Jr., were formally surrendered to a Japanese army of 54,000 men under Lt. General Masaharu Homma.
Logistics planning to move the prisoners of war from Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, a prison camp in the province of Tarlac, was handed down to transportation officer Major General Yoshitake Kawane ten days prior to the final Japanese assault. The Japanese, having expected the fighting to continue, anticipated about 25,000 prisoners of war and were inadequately prepared and/or unwilling to humanely transport a group of prisoners whose number reached almost three times that estimate.
Prisoners on the march from Bataan to the prison camp, May 1942. (National Archives)
At dawn, 9 April 1942, and against the orders of Generals Douglas McArthur and Jonathan Wainwright, Major General Edward P. King, Jr., commanding Luzon Force, Bataan, Philippine Islands, surrendered more than 75,000 (66,000 Filipinos and 11,796 Americans) starving and disease-ridden men.
He asked whether the Americans and Filipinos would be well treated. The Japanese aide-de-camp replied: "We are not barbarians."
The majority of the prisoners of war were immediately subjected to robbery of their most trivial keepsakes and belongings and subsequently forced to endure a grueling 90-mile enforced march in deep dust, over rough roads, and crammed into sub-standard rail cars to captivity at Camp O'Donnell. Thousands died along the way from disease, starvation, dehydration, heat stroke, untreated wounds, and even executions.
Those few who were lucky enough to travel to San Fernando on trucks still had to endure more than 25 miles of marching. Prisoners were beaten randomly, and were often denied the food and water they were promised. Those who fell behind were usually executed or left to die.
On the Bataan Death March, approximately 54,000 of the 72,000 prisoners reached their destination. The death toll of the march is difficult to assess as thousands of captives were able to escape from their guards. All told, approximately 5,000-10,000 Filipino and 600-650 American prisoners of war died before they could reach Camp O'Donnell.
On June 6, 1942 the Filipino soldiers were granted amnesty by the Japanese military and released. The American prisoners continued to be held, eventually to be transferred to camps outside of the Philippines.
The start of this process began with American prisoners moving from Camp O'Donnell to Cabanatuan. Acting as a staging camp, many of these American prisoners then were sent from Cabanatuan to prison camps in Japan, Korea, and Manchuria in transports known as "Hell Ships."
The 511 prisoners-of-war who still remained at the Cabanatuan Prison Camp as of January 1945 were freed during an attack on the camp led by United States Army Rangers later known as The Great Raid.
After the surrender of Japan in 1945, an Allied commission convicted General Homma of war crimes, including the atrocities of the death march out of Bataan, and the following atrocities at Camp O'Donnell and Cabanatuan.
The general, who had been absorbed in his efforts to capture Corregidor after the fall of Bataan, claimed in his defense that he remained ignorant of the high death toll of the death march until two months after the event.
His neglect would cost him his life as General Homma was executed on April 3, 1946 outside Manila.
Every year on April 9, the captured soldiers are honored on Araw ng Kagitingan ("Day of Valor"), also known as the "Bataan Day", which is a national holiday in the Philippines.
In Capas, Tarlac there is the Capas National Shrine built in the grounds surrounding Camp O'Donnell.
There is also a shrine in Bataan named Dambana ng Kagitingan ("Shrine of Valor") commemorating this event. The shrine has a colonnade that houses an altar, esplanade, and a museum. There is also a Memorial Cross built towering 92 meters in height.
The Bataan Death March is commemorated every year at White Sands Missile Range just outside of Las Cruces, New Mexico. The march, which covers 26.2 miles via paved road and sandy trails, allows 4000 entrants from both civilian and many military units both International and the United States armed services. Several of the few remaining Bataan prisoners await the competitors to congratulate them on their success of the grueling march.
The 194th's Company A was deployed to the Philippines in the fall of 1941. To commemorate the military and civilian prisoners that were forced to march from Bataan to Camp O'Donnell, an annual Bataan Memorial March, organized by the 194th Armor Regiment of the Minnesota Army National Guard and is held in Brainerd, MN. The march is open to anyone who wishes to participate with ten and twenty mile distances. The march has different categories consisting of teams, individuals, light pack, or a heavy pack. A closing ceremony is held at the end to award the finishers and pay tribute to the survivors and their comrades who did not survive the death march.
Maywood, IL plaque
For 65 years, this small western suburb of Chicago has marked the second Sunday in September as "Maywood Bataan Day". This is the anniversary of the first Maywood Bataan Day held on the second weekend of September, 1942. At that time, residents of this suburb were raising awareness of the status of nearly 100 Maywood National guard troops who were taken prisoner when American forces surrendered Bataan on April 9th, 1942. These men were forced to endure the Death March, prison camps, hell ships and eventually slave labor in Japan. The men were part of Company B of the 192nd Tank Battalion. The original Maywood Bataan Day drew more than 100,000 spectators, dozens of marching bands, and celebrities including the Mayor Ed Kelley of Chicago, and other movie and radio stars. Today's celebration is much smaller, but still draws several hundred people. The service is supported by the village of Maywood, IL and a non-profit group, the Maywood Bataan Day Organization.
The Bataan Bridge in Carlsbad, New Mexico commemorates the victims of the march.
The Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge in Chicago, Illinois, where State Street crosses the Chicago River, commemorates the defenders of Bataan and Corregidor as well as those on the march.
The Bataan Memorial Highway in Indiana, SR 38 from Richmond, Indiana to Lafayette, Indiana.
Highway-70, through Southern New Mexico was renamed the Bataan Memorial Highway.
Statue of American and Filipino Bataan survivors resides at Veterans Memorial Park, in Las Cruces, New Mexico
The "A Tribute To Courage" Memorial in Kissimmee, Florida, at the corner of Lakeshore Boulevard and Monument Avenue. It depicts a scene from the Bataan Death March: two soldiers, one American and the other Filipino, are propping each other up while a Filipino woman is offering water to them. It symbolizes the unique friendship between the United States and the Philippines - the two countries fought together during World War II, and the heroism and comradeship between the Americans and Filipinos. It was sculpted by Sandra Storm and is made of bronze. A brick walkway encircles the monument and there are commemorative plaques depicting the history of the Bataan Death March and the Memorial. American and Filipino flags fly side by side. It is the only statue in the United States dedicated to the heroes and survivors of the fall of Bataan and Corregidor and the Bataan Death March.
Bataan Elementary School in Port Clinton, Ohio commemorates the 32 men from the Port Clinton area who were victims of the march.

2070-71. Nearly six decades after Step Day and in the Long Earth, the new Next post-human society continues to evolve.
For Joshua Valienté, now in his late sixties, it is time to take one last solo journey into the High Meggers: an adventure that turns into a disaster. Alone and facing death, his only hope of salvation lies with a group of trolls. But as Joshua confronts his mortality, the Long Earth receives a signal from the stars. A signal that is picked up by radio astronomers but also in more abstract ways – by the trolls and by the Great Traversers. Its message is simple but ts implications are enormous:
The super-smart Next realise that the Message contains instructions on how to develop an immense artificial intelligence but to build it they have to seek help from throughout the industrious worlds of mankind. Bit by bit, byte by byte, they assemble a computer the size of a continent – a device that will alter the Long Earth's place within the cosmos and reveal the ultimate, life-affirming goal of those who sent the Message. Its impact will be felt by and resonate with all – mankind and other species, young and old, communities and individuals – who inhabit the Long Earths…

What are Zebra Mussels?
Hint: They aren't good.
Star Tribune via Getty Images / Contributor/Getty Images
There's no denying that zebra mussels are a pest. The tiny bivalves, which take their name from the dark, zebra-like stripes on each shell, most likely arrived in the South on freighters that set sail from Eastern Europe. The boats hit the Great Lakes and once on the shores of the United States, the zebra mussels quickly took to their new home, spreading through most major river systems, including traveling down the Mississippi and across the southern region. The invasive freshwater mollusk has set up posts in Texas, North Carolina, and Louisiana and the threat of their invasion has been making headlines in Florida since at least 1991.
The reason their arrival is heralded with such alarm is because they are tenacious and determined. Zebra mussels are small (about the size of a dime), and reproduce quickly, putting rabbits to shame. According to the website Texas Invasives, one zebra mussel can produce up to one million microscopic larvae, which lets them take over a local watering hole really quickly.
Once the population is established, they eat everything, crowding out native clam and mussel species, taking food from local fish, clinging to almost anything in water, and making the water smell and taste foul. They are so good at clumping together that they can take over pipelines, cutting off the pipes that provide water to thousands of homes and businesses. According to the United States Geological Survey, power plants spend millions of dollars removing zebra mussels from clogged water intakes. Zebra mussels are quite fond of making boats and docks their home, too, quickly encrusting hulls and docks with mussels that are both damaging and difficult to clean.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram / Contributor/ Getty Images
It's not just the South that is being invaded by the pesky bivalves. Zebra mussels have taken over waterways from Canada to Mexico and almost every state in between. Getting rid of them is no easy feat. According to the National Park Service, once a population of zebra mussels has established itself in a body of water, there is very little to be done to remove them. That's why preventing the spread of zebra mussels is the best way to stop them from taking over every lake and river.
WATCH: 10 Plants That Will Take Over Your Yard
Don't catch or carry zebra mussels even if you want to use them as bait, for food, or keep in an aquarium as a very boring pet. If you own a boat, the National Park Service recommends thoroughly draining boats and motors before leaving a lake or river and washing boats and trailers thoroughly. If possible, let the boat dry for at least five days (the amount of time a zebra mussel can survive out of water) before taking the boat out again. While that sounds like a drag, keep in mind that Texas lakes were free from zebra mussels until about 2009 when they started to take over. Biologists believe the invasion may have started when someone took a spin on a boat that was not properly cleaned. Now, local news outlet KSAT reports that zebra mussels have taken over 17 Texas lakes, and the invasion is costing taxpayers as they work to keep their lakes clean and pipes working properly.

Herald-Post Reset: Former President Bill Clinton visits Las Cruces
Staff Report June 3, 2016	News Comments Off on Herald-Post Reset: Former President Bill Clinton visits Las Cruces
"Hello Las Cruces!" Clinton said in his iconic voice, as he was welcomed on to the stage by a cheering crowd. Yesterday, former U.S. President, Bill Clinton stopped by Picacho Middle School in Las Cruces, N.M. on the campaign trail for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The crowd began to line up early in the afternoon waiting to hear the former president speak. Las Cruces police, and secret service were stationed throughout the perimeter, thankfully there were no agitators in the crowd and it was a peaceful rally.
The beautiful sounds of the mariachi was playing and New Mexico leaders kept the crowd in anticipation as each one went to the stage to address the crowd.
Finally the moment arrived that everyone was waiting for and with his friendly wave and warm smile, Bill Clinton took the stage.
The former president had a solid, content-filled speech, going over his wife's plan with exact points on the agenda. He spoke on the usual points such as, income equality for women and raising the minimum wage, then moved on to points that media doesn't always run.
First, Clinton addressed the First Nations people of New Mexico and the problems Native Americans face.
He then spoke at length of the great strides being made for the future of green movement in the southwest included in Hillary's plan by continuing to build on solar and wind energies.
Clinton also addressed the epidemic of crushing student debt and the solutions provided by his wife's agenda including restrictions on lenders, loan forgiveness and extending options for those in public service.
He closed by reminding the crowd he has always supported historic New Mexico leaders, and he made history in 1996 by being the first sitting U.S. President to have visited Las Cruces since William Howard Taft; and that Las Cruces would be part of history once again as they helped to elect the first female president of the United States.
After the rally, the former president stayed available to meet with folks and take photos, and even made a stop at Milagros Cafe before leaving the land of Enchantment.

Four Forms of Chinese Poetry
Josh Patrick Updated June 13, 2017
••• Blue Jean Images/Photodisc/Getty Images
Poetry is one of the richest and most varied literary genres in China's history. From ancient times, poetry has held a place of esteem in the culture. The poetry of China can be divided into several different forms. Some of these are in practice today, while others were mainly practiced during a certain historical period.
Lu Shi
Lu Shi is an ancient form of Chinese poetry. Its fundamental unit is the couplet, or set of two lines. There is no upper limit to the number of couplets which can be in a single poem. Each couplet must be phonetically and symbolically matched, not just rhymed in the Western sense of the word. The Chinese language relies heavily upon pitch and accent to enhance meaning, and this is important in all Chinese poetry, but particularly a simplistic form like Lu Shi.
Gu Ti
Like Lu Shi poetry, Gu Ti builds upon the foundation of the couplet. However, there is far less rigidity in structure, rhyme and content. Modern examples of Gu Ti resemble free verse, in that there's no obvious rules governing the poetry. Poets are free to switch rhyme schemes and line lengths at any point. Gu Ti and Lu Shi are both members of a group called code verse because of their reliance on the couplet as their building block. They are also narrative forms of poetry in that they tell a story.
Ci is the name given to the pre-defined patterns which a Chinese poet fills in with characters of her choosing. The pattern specifies line lengths and rhyme schemes, but content is entirely up to the poet. Many of the patterns are enormously complicated, and new poets generally avoid the challenge. The Ci form of poetry was usually accompanied by music. Ci is a nearly extinct form, little used by modern poets.
Ge stands for song. However, Ge poetry was chanted and usually not accompanied with musical instruments, even though the rhythm is quite musical. Everything from simple folk songs to elaborate lyrics are included in the form of Ge. Like the Ci poetry, there are certain patterns and expectations for all poetry composed as Ge. However, enough freedom remains in the form that it is still popular today.
In Modern China, poetry has demonstrated the influence of the outside world. In form, poetry has largely abandoned many of the rigid structures of the dynastic periods. Free verse and experimentation are now more the exception than the rule. In content, Chinese poets have begun to explore a wider variety of topics. One of the biggest challenges in understanding Chinese poetry today is filtering out the Western cultural influences and getting at the heart of what makes Chinese poetry distinct.

Chris Brown has been arrested just moments after stepping off stage after a concert in Florida.
The singer was seen being led into a police car shortly after his show at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on Thursday, July 5.
Several officers were reported to be waiting in the wings of the venue to arrest the singer after he'd finished performing.
According to WPTV, Tampa police said Brown's arrest was in relation to 'an incident' at at a Tampa nightclub called Club Aja in April 17, 2017 where he was accused of 'punching a photographer'.
The photographer told officers he had been hired to take photographs at the club, and as Brown was 'sitting near him' the singer 'motioned him to move away'.
As the photographer 'moved away' he alleged he attempted to 'tell Brown he was hired to take pictures of the crowd'.
The photographer and witnesses said Brown 'approached him, assumed a fighting stance and punched him in the upper lip, then left the nightclub'.
Brown has apparently been released after posting a $2,000 bail, the Independent reports.
Back in February 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, had an argument which escalated into violence, leaving Rihanna with visible facial injuries for which she needed hospital treatment.
Brown turned himself into police while his career was put on hold indefinitely. Any advertisements he featured in were suspended, his music wasn't played on radio stations, and he withdrew himself entirely from the public eye.
Just two weeks later Brown was charged with felony assault as well as making criminal threats. After pleading guilty he accepted a plea deal of five years probation, domestic violence counselling, and community service.
I didn't know what to think at the time. I was like what, like, because at the time, I just didn't know honestly what to think.
And I didn't know if the pictures were altered. I didn't know if they were real. I didn't know what. So I was just like, 'Man, I just felt so disappointed in myself'.
Every day. I think this is probably — like I said, it's probably one of the worst moments of my life. And I always wish like I could take it back.
And every day, it's just something that sticks in my mind. And I've said countless times how sorry I am to Rihanna, and I just accepted full responsibility.
But it's just one of those things I wish I could have relived and just handled totally different.
It's believed the altercation occurred after a woman Brown had previously slept with turned up to a Grammys party in February 2009, causing Rihanna emotional distress.
She starts going off, she throws the phone 'I hate you!', whatever, whatever. She starts hitting me, we're in a little Lamborghini.
So now I'm gonna be mean and be evil. Like I remember she tried to kick me, just like her beating sh*t.

Playground Tales: Learning to Socialize with Autism
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For most kids, playing on the playground is a great place to have fun and one of the best ways to learn how to interact with other kids. However, for the 1 in 68 kids with autism, playgrounds can cause stress. Autism can hinder a child's ability to socialize. Now research is showing how we can change that.
These kids are going undercover in the name of science.
8 year old researcher, Calvin Hawes told Ivanhoe, "We're trying to like play with the kids and have fun. Like it's a normal day."
Psychiatry Professor at Vanderbilt University, Blythe Corbett, PhD, is leading the study and looking at how children with autism spectrum disorder play and interact with typically developing kids.
Corbett told Ivanhoe, "So we can better understand what things help them to interact but also what things are getting in the way of being able to play with others."
To test this, researchers took saliva samples from kids with ASD, like Ben, to measure the stress hormone cortisol.
"We wouldn't be able to tell from a lot of our kids, how stressed they really are when they are interacting with others," said Corbett.
Higher cortisol means Ben's less motivated to play with other kids.
Ben Solsvig, who has autism, told Ivanhoe, "It depends on how fun they are. I wouldn't want to play with a kid if he's all boring."
"The good news is though, that all it takes is a simple invitation for a peer to invite them, to ask them to play. And that can significantly improve their willingness to engage with others," Corbett said.
A simple invitation could make all the difference for a child.
Dr. Corbett says the study highlights the importance of bringing typically developing peers together with kids with autism spectrum disorder in all social settings. Kids with ASD are then able to learn that it's safe to interact with others.
The research was funded by the national institute of mental health.

Abstract : Data analytics in general, and data mining primitives in particular , are a major source of bottlenecks in the operation of information systems. This is mainly due to their high complexity and intensive call to IO operations, particularly in massively distributed environments. Moreover , an important application of data analytics is to discover key insights from the running traces of information system in order to improve their engineering. Mining closed frequent itemsets (CFI) is one of these data mining techniques, associated with great challenges. It allows discovering itemsets with better efficiency and result compactness. However, discovering such itemsets in massively distributed data poses a number of issues that are not addressed by traditional methods. One solution for dealing with such characteristics is to take advantage of parallel frameworks like, e.g., MapReduce. We address the problem of distributed CFI mining by introducing a new parallel algorithm, called DCIM, which uses a prime number based approach. A key feature of DCIM is the deep combination of data mining properties with the principles of massive data distribution. We carried out exhaustive experiments over real world datasets to illustrate the efficiency of DCIM for large real world datasets with up to 53 million documents.

Recordmecca Featured in Rock Poster Article in THE GUARDIAN
May 25th, 2011 In news 1 Comment
Here's an article on the revival in poster collecting in The Guardian (the UK newspaper,) featuring an interview with yours truly:
Never mind the Blu-Tack: the rock poster goldrush
Would you pay six figures for a vintage rock poster? Dave Simpson on a booming market
Highly sought after . . . a detail from Emek's 2006 Nick Cave poster, which took three months to complete.
"If you buy a £10,000 watch, the day you walk out of the shop, it's worth £6,000," says Jeff Gold. "If you buy a £10,000 poster, it's a £10,000 poster. And, if you have good taste and choose wisely, it will gain in value." A former Warner Bros record executive, California-based Gold runs memorabilia website Recordmecca, world leaders in a booming market in rock concert posters.
Uncertain economic times have led increasing numbers of people to turn to rock memorabilia, and to rare posters in particular, as an alternative form of investment. Some of the figures involved are eye-watering, with the biggest prices fetched by vintage artwork, what Gold calls "snapshots of an era". For years Elvis posters were the most highly sought after (particularly the year 1956), selling for up to $30,000. Then, in 2004, a poster for the Beatles 1965 Shea Stadium concert sold for $69,000 at auction; a poster for their 1966 gig at the same venue fetched $132,000 later that year.
Now contemporary posters are fetching silly sums, too. A Citizen Kane-style poster for a White Stripes' 2003 gig by Chicago artist Rob Jones sold on the night for £15, but fetched £1,600 on eBay in 2008. "Each [poster] was done in a limited edition of 333, for every concert, and there won't be any more," explains Jody Goodall, director of Manchester's Richard Goodall gallery.
Goodall recently sold a poster for Nick Cave's 2006 gig at the city's Bridgewater Hall for £500, 10 times the original price. Naturally, it's no ordinary poster. "It's hand-drawn by Portland-based artist Emek and took him three months to complete," Goodall says. "Every detail relates to a Cave song [roses for Where the Wild Roses Grow, and so on]. It's one of a limited run of just over 300, of which only a handful are in circulation."
The market in poster art is nothing new, but the web has turned a trend into a boom. As Gold explains: "You can find immediately something you'd previously see once in a lifetime." A poster's collectibility lies in a combination of band, artist, venue, the condition and the scarcity of the work. Sixties artist Rick Griffin's posters for the Grateful Dead fetch huge sums, as long as they are from the initial print run. Identifying such rare posters can mean determining the exact shade of colour, or using a micrometer to measure the thickness of the paper. "The difference can be thousands of dollars."
Poster art went into decline in the 1980s, but there was something of a renaissance towards the end of that decade, when Texas artist Frank Kozik started producing posters for underground bands: the Backyard Babies, early Nirvana. As quickly as these posters went up, kids tore them down. Some American artists – Emek, Rob Jones, Chicago's Jay Ryan – are as collectible in their own right as the featured bands.Many contemporary designs are undeniably beautiful. Gina Kelly, who has designed posters for Stornoway and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, says: "I focus on qualities like innocence, joy, psychedelia to make an image that I feel speaks to the band's audience." One of Jody Goodall's favourite designs is Jay Ryan's Kings of Convenience poster, featuring bears drinking tea in a tree. "Nothing to do with the band, it's just a quintessential, eccentric image." (He's offering it for £200.)
In the end, of course, a poster is only worth what someone will pay for it. Gold suggests that the closest thing to a surefire investment today would be a poster for Nirvana, "the 90s generation's Jimi Hendrix". Goodall argues that in 30 or 40 years' time, punk-era posters or those for Manchester's Hacienda will be the most highly sought after. Not every one of them, of course. "We always tell people, 'If you're going to buy one, love the poster,'" he says. "That way, if it doesn't appreciate in value, you're still happy."

VŠE scores in the QS World University Rankings by Subject VŠE scores in the QS World University Rankings by Subject
VŠE scores in the QS World University Rankings by Subject
VŠE scores in the prestigious QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019. In the Czech Republic, it ranked first in the Accounting & Finance category and second in Economics & Econometrics.
QS World University Rankings by Subject is important for universities that specialize only in selected areas of education. The QS publishes the exact order of the top 50 universities, ranging order is used for the others. In 2019, a total of 1,222 universities from 153 countries were included in the ranking, and the evaluation was conducted in 48 areas of education.
VŠE repeatedly scores in the field of Economics and Econometrics. Compared to 2018, when it ranked 251-300, VŠE improved its ranking in 2019 and currently ranked 201-250.
"I am very glad that VŠE has been successful for the first time in the Accounting and Finance category, where we ranked 201-250. It is especially thanks to the very good name of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting among the professional public, and also thanks to improving the quality of publishing activities of our teachers," highlighted Prof. Hana Machková, the Rector of the University of Economics, Prague. "I appreciate this evaluation all the more knowing we have been evaluated as the best college in the Czech Republic in the field of Accounting and Finance," the Rector added.
The QS World University Rankings by Subject uses four qualitative criteria to rank individual universities by subject. The first two criteria evaluate the international reputation of the university in the context of academia (academic reputation), as well as among employers (employer reputation). The other two indicators focus on the quality of academic research. The first of these last two criteria is the research citation per paper, which assesses the number of citations per teacher, published during the past 5 years, in the Scopus database. The other criterion is the h-index, which is a renowned methodological tool for assessing academic paper reviews.

CONNECTED TRUCKS – ARE THEY REALLY CONNECTED?
John Bee
Connected Trucks have been available in Europe for nearly a decade, and it will be accurate to say that they will soon be the majority of vehicles on the road.
Despite apparent benefits for operators after their introduction, we believe that the potential of connectivity has not yet been fully realised. Moreover, significant developments are constrained by some of the reasons we will explore in this article.
Furthermore, we would claim that the technology is still in its infancy with many of the promised benefits yet to be delivered; not only as an enabler of autonomous capabilities but also as a tool to improve safety, reduce environmental impact and boost operational efficiencies.
Connected trucks are commonly defined by their ability to communicate to the external world via the internet. This definition, however, ignores their most powerful capability; the 'datification' of actions, interactions, location, status, usage and performance.
Connected trucks are also connected internally through a local network of components, devices and sensors that produce immense amounts of data
The availability of such data has facilitated the growth of advanced vehicle and fleet management systems and the democratisation of tools previously only available to larger operators. Connectivity has given them the ability to make better-informed decisions as well as by advancing their operational performance and safety.
Due to connectivity, vehicles communicate with drivers in a more advanced way. For instance, the vehicle dashboard (traditionally the principal way the truck communicated information to the driver) has now been augmented. Drivers can access present and historical data in their portable devices.
Using their phone, drivers can learn from their past performances, check on vehicle status and even perform on demand upgrades to optimise the vehicle engine for specific operations.
For OEMs, the availability of vast amounts of data is supporting product R&D; For example, predictive analytics are being used to determine when a specific part should be changed before a failure occurs; thus minimising vehicle downtime. Equally, aggregated performance data can inform future customers about precise vehicle specs to optimise their application/
In real time, vehicles can access aggregated historical information based on their geographical location to determine the best driving combinations to improve fuel performance.
Thanks to connectivity, predictive maintenance and over-the-air vehicle upgrades are helping workshops to create operational efficiencies through more accurate planning and capacity management — customers, on the other hand, are seeing improvements in vehicle uptime.
All the above put in evidence the impact that connectivity has had on the way vehicles are being purchased, operated and maintained. However, what we have seen so far is only the 'datification' and consequent evolution of well-established relationships amongst OEMs, workshops, operators and drivers.
Connected Trucks are yet to fulfil their potential as the key actor is the transport eco-system
That, we believe, represents a 'closed circuit' that limits the definition of connectivity and reduces it to a dimension dictated by tradition in contrast to the vision o an expansive, inclusive, and disruptive trend.
Many essential aspects of the intended long term vision are still unresolved:
What has then happened to connectivity in a broader sense?
What about connected vehicles as intelligent machines that are part of a sophisticated yet smart and interconnected transport and mobility system?
What about a place where all players exchange value through data or otherwise with a more significant objective in mind?
Why are trucks not yet connected to other vehicles to improve safety? Why are they not connected to smart roads to reduce traffic and improve productivity?
Why are not they connected to any other agents such as regulators, service stations, tyre companies, and others that would make the system smarter, more efficient and less environmentally impactful?
Some argue that more regulation is required to make our roads safe, that there are risks associated with going online such as cyber attacks and that improved communication infrastructures are needed such as 5G. Perhaps all those arguments are valid; resolving those issues should be a priority to unleash the connected vehicle revolution.
However, we believe that the reasonable unwillingness of the various incumbents to share data – especially proprietary vehicle data- is slowing down progress and limiting the possibilities of connectivity.
Data has a competitive and arguably a monetary value too. To individual organisations, this value is more critical today than the benefits of a future collective goal.
The impact of this protectionist approach can be observed today; there are multiple fleet management and telematics solutions that put in evidence the inefficiencies of the system.
Their similarity in purpose and functionality reflect a somehow irrational desire to re-invent the wheel and the unwillingness to share and integrate. For operators, those solutions appear incomplete, fragmented and short of delivering their full potential; especially for those operators with multi-brand fleets, complex ancillary equipment and more sophisticated operational demands.
OEMs unfortunately still hold the key to unlock many of these issues since they own the biggest and more important 'data mine'. Admittedly, they are slowly opening up their libraries to external entities but still in a limited way.
Furthermore, the imminent threat created by emerging third-party platforms has urged OEMs to respond with their own (e.g. RIO, Volvo Connect) as a way to increase openness, support the development of advanced tools, and allow the acceleration of progress through the creation of network effects.
Multiple OEM platforms, however, do not resolve the challenge that is the seamless integration of multi-brand information in one place. Moreover, attracting various agents with no apparent loyalty to any OEM will be crucial for them to creating value-added interactions in their platforms.
Unfortunately, in the world of platforms, there is usually a winner that takes it all. When it comes to connectivity in the greater sense, we do not believe that this will be achieved from a non-independent entity.
A large scale optimisation of the system to deliver on the real benefits of connectivity to society might require an independent platform in which vehicles will be just another participant rather than the 'lead character.'
Perhaps governments will play a more active role to lead or facilitate initiatives to bootstrap such a platform.
Perhaps incentives and even regulation are required to establish a co-opetition model to knock down the existing barriers against progress or to clarify the future benefits of such a framework.
For now, however, the need for agreement on standards and the creation of a mega platform that will connect vehicles, infrastructure, service providers and any other incumbents is perhaps a dream.
In summary, this is a dream that can become a reality with some modest effort but with much willingness to cooperate, co-create and especially to share the rewards.
