University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan talked with reporters yesterday in the UH athletic complex.
Travel agencies bowled over
Demand is high as UH fans snap up tickets and make arrangements to attend the game
STORY SUMMARY »
Some travel agencies were bombarded with phone calls from University of Hawaii fans yesterday as hundreds made plans to fly to New Orleans to support the Warriors in the Sugar Bowl.
Travel packages from Honolulu to New Orleans for the New Year's Day game ranged from $2,000 to $3,500 and were going quickly, according to the major travel companies.
Hawaiian Airlines is looking at chartering an aircraft. Boyd Gaming Corp. is even looking at creating charter flights from Las Vegas to Louisiana, where it owns some casinos.
Meanwhile, season-ticket holders snapped up about 5,000 Sugar Bowl tickets yesterday. The university and the University of Georgia each have 17,500 tickets to sell.
But university officials encourage the loyal fans to get theirs before tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday.
Ticket sales for the University of Hawaii Warriors' Bowl Championship Series game at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans were strong yesterday at the Stan Sheriff Center box office. Here, Dennis Feinberg purchased two tickets for the game.

Some isle travel agencies were slammed with phone calls and e-mails yesterday from hundreds of University of Hawaii fans wanting to go to the Sugar Bowl.
"Our phones are ringing off the hook," said Kehau Amorin, special-projects manager at Panda Travel Inc.
Scores of UH fans purchased packages for the New Year's Day game in New Orleans yesterday that ranged from $2,000 to $3,500 by some travel agencies such as Panda Travel, Regal Travel Inc. and Vacations-Hawaii.
Vacations-Hawaii sold 100 packages in 10 minutes, according to spokesman Rob Stillwell of Boyd Gaming Corp. Packages were offered at $1,999 per person, which covers airfare, game ticket and hotel.
Boyd Gaming Corp. has some hotels in Louisiana, such as Treasure Chest Casino. Some people are planning to stay at one of Boyd's other properties, Sam's Town Shreveport, located about four hours away from New Orleans.
Boyd Gaming Corp. is working on additional packages, Stillwell said, noting that it is looking into creating charter flights from Las Vegas to New Orleans.
Ray Miyashiro, president of Regal Travel, said it sold out on its first and second packages at a maximum of $2,700 and $3,500, respectively. The packages include airfare, ground transportation, hotel and ticket.
Miyashiro did not have figures available yesterday of how many packages were sold.
The first package, with United Airlines, was offered solely to in-house clients Sunday. The second package, with Northwest Airlines, was offered yesterday to the public at $3,500, an $800 increase from the day before due to a spike in hotel and air fares. "It's a demand item," Miyashiro said.
Panda Travel sold out on more than 150 packages yesterday at $2,600 each, which covers air, ticket, hotel and ground transportation. Amorin said. More than 600 rooms were blocked at five hotels within the Harrah's Casino area.
One of their first customers waited at the agency's Kapahulu Avenue office at 6:45 a.m. yesterday. Panda Travel was also bombarded with hundreds of e-mails inquiring about their packages.
Amorin said Panda is working with mainland charter companies to see if they can arrange charter flights to New Orleans. "Our goal is to take as many people as possible," she said.
Patrick Dugan of McNeil Wilson Communications said Hawaiian Airlines is also looking into whether it can charter a flight. It is traditionally the busiest time to travel, Dugan said: "They're seeing what aircraft is available."
Hawaiian Airlines is expected to know in a couple of days whether it can charter a flight. Aloha Airlines will not offer a charter because of a lack of planes, said spokesman Stu Glauberman.
While many are turning to travel agencies to arrange their trip to New Orleans, some are taking it upon themselves to make arrangements.
East Honolulu resident Ira Gordon, a 40-year fan of the Warriors, booked his flight with Delta Airlines soon after UH beat Washington Saturday night. He also made arrangements to stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel, located within a mile of the Louisiana Superdome.
Costs for the New Orleans trip fell within the $3,500 range. Gordon said he plans to split hotel costs with friend Wayne Sasaki.
Incidentally, Gordon, 61, was born in Georgia, and his wife attended the University of Georgia. When asked if he had any mixed emotions on which team to support in the Sugar Bowl, he replied, "Not at all."
Season-ticket holders start sales off on a brisk note
About 5,000 tickets to the 2008 Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans had been sold to season-ticket holders as of 6 p.m. yesterday, according to a University of Hawaii spokesman.
With the university allotted 17,500 tickets, spokesman Derek Inouchi encouraged season-ticket holders to purchase tickets as soon as possible as they are on pace to sell out by Thursday, when ticket sales open to the public.
Ticket costs range from $125 to $145. According to the Hawaii athletic department's Web site, priority is given to Koa Anuenue sport-package patrons and UH corporate sponsors, and to 22,800 season-ticket holders based on their 2007-2008 premium seat contributions for all UH sports combined.

This article looks at some of the key differences between For Profit (FP) and Not for Profit organisations (NfP). Looking at the fundamental differences between the organisations in context of those things that could influence supplier selection.
At the highest level the distinction between these groups is very clear: FP organizations view their performance in terms of effectiveness in achieving returns to their investors in context of monetary value. However NfP organizations would tend to link the larger notion of organizational performance to the results of their particular programs to improve the lives of a target group or maximising on use of funds from their stakeholders (tax payers and donators for example) to achieve this purpose.
Where goals and motivations are concerned, the NfP sector is defined by the greater restrictions placed on changes to their goals: this coming from legislation, funding source restrictions and having to adhere closely to their defined purpose. Many of these restrictions on NfP organisations are defined and monitored outside of the organisation by external stakeholders.
The NfP also has a greater focus on adding social value to a supply chain. With Government departments motivated towards the public interest and other NfPs motivated towards building social value associated with their fundamental purpose.
Whereas when we look at the goals and motivations of the FP sector (commercial businesses) there is more opportunity to re-define goals and change direction, with significantly less influence from external parties. The FP organisation, as you might expect, is primarily financially motivated. Focused on increasing margins, driving profitability and enhancing competitiveness. And ultimately Shareholder value.
An increasing motivation towards becoming a more Socially Responsible organisation is apparent across all sectors, though perhaps in the FP sector case this could be said to be responding to minimum legislative requirements, whereas in the NfP domain Social Responsibility will more reflect their purpose and likely exceed any legislative requirements in this context.
So how do these differences affect procurement and supply. Certainly NfP organisations will exclude suppliers that are not aligned, and select suppliers that are aligned, to their purpose. In approach there will also be differences in how suppliers are evaluated, with social factors certainly having more emphasis in the selection of NfP suppliers. Most NfP Organizations, for example, would tend to link the larger notion of organizational performance to the results of their particular programs to improve the lives of a target group.
At the same time, a majority of NfP organizations would see their performance in terms of their efficiency in deploying resources: this relates to the optimal use of resources to obtain the results desired. In selecting suppliers. The FP organisation, would approach this differently: they would look at supplier engagements that could improve their financial performance as an organisation, as the predominant factor; perhaps more value driven over extended periods and less short term cost focused than NfP groups.
The financial factors we will include in this section relate to the different organisations approach to budgets and spend.
Typically in NfP organisations budgets are set at a specific time of year, with very precise allocations to defined projects and objectives. There are definite limitations on the flexibility of where this money can be allocated: the funds are typically pre-allocated and earmarked for a very specific purpose and often tied down based on the source of funding.
Whereas in FP organisations the budgeted amounts are more open to change and re-allocation based on the current situation within the organisation. Typically these budgets are set based on the expected results of the organisation and if an opportunity is seen to impact on these results monies can be readily re-allocated or re-assigned.
Then, when we look at spend in the NfP sector, typically the emphasis is on maximising use of minimum budget: spending money wisely. There is also a high level of scrutiny of spend by wider stakeholders.
In the FP sector, Spend is driven by business cases to achieve success and a structure of management level approvals that can affect how project spend occurs. Typically processes are more rapid and responsive as a result.
So how do these characteristics affect procurement and supply.
Certainly opportunities to supply NfP organisations tend to be fixed by the budget process. They tend to be longer more drawn out processes, as they involve wider scrutiny of process (see later in this article) Whereas for FP organisations there is a more flexible approach, so there is more opportunity to change where money is spent.
From a results perspective, in terms of expectations, the NfP domain will typically be focused on the current purchase transaction itself, the costs and the end result in terms of impact in respect of their cause. Whereas the FP will look at overall value delivered, the future ongoing purchase relationship and the strategic benefits, as part of their expectations.
For the NfP sector regulations are often wide ranging and linked to government regulations. With a higher level of uncertainty over how these regulations will change and affect Procurement.
NfP procurement is defined and constrained, in some sense, by legislation, transparency and compliance demands.
For NfP organizations to stay financially and legally compliant, with the regulations of their sector, all purchases and payments must be carefully tracked, and reported with complete accuracy and an emphasis on ensuring there is an ability for full disclosure and transparency over any transactions.
For FP organisations the focus is on conformance to a minimum set of regulations to do effective business. Procurement is constrained only by this minimum set. Tracking of spend is less rigid for the FP sector, though of course good business practice would be to have an audit trail of all spend. The key here though is that there is no obligation to disclose supplier selection and spend levels outside of an FP organisation and this lack of need for transparency does affect the nature of these audit trail requirements and the way that suppliers are engaged.
By nature NfP organisations are risk averse. Within NfP organisations there is an expectation that any actions will be challenged and scrutinised and this tends to constrain decisions to those that are safe to be made and easier to move through the processes that are in place.
Whereas in the FP organisation the approach to risk depends on the organisation, however in general FP organisations will take measured risks to grow their businesses, enter new markets or compete more effectively in their chosen markets. Taking an element of risk to move the organisation forward is seen as essential within most FP organisations.
This different approach to risk, and the expectation of scrutiny over any risk based decision, makes the NfP organisation in general very cautious and conservative on their procurement approach. Whereas the FP organisation does not have the same level of external scrutiny and can make risk based decisions within the organisation, or at worst having to refer to a board of directors only.
NfP procurement processes are typically mechanically driven to meet procedures and regulations and can quite often be set by stakeholders external to the organisation.
Whereas the FP procurement process is more flexible and adaptable to the nature of the purchase.
Typically the FP procurement activity is a very private process (minimum legal transparency.) Whereas the NfP is a very transparent process. This transparency affects the nature of the NfP procurement process, as it is more likely that there will be open tenders and tenders published to a wide audience of potential suppliers. In contrast, for the FP process the potential vendors can be pre-selected and only these vendors get visibility of the process.
NfP organisations will always have an overseeing authority and usually there are multiple stakeholders involved. Governance is a major factor for NfP groups, so detailed records of procurement activity are essential. Whereas for the FP authority it is typically a very clear line to the CFO for any review of a procurement activity.
As a result, of all of the above, NfPs rely on the use of very formal processes & arm's length negotiations to avoid any suggestion of collusion with a supplier. In the vast majority of cases there are competitive tenders. This process tends to discourage long term relationships.
However the FP process will encourage strong long term supplier relationships. Particularly in the case of critical supply chains where there can be a very limited group of suppliers.
Perhaps in this domain of all the domains the financial flexibility has more influence.
The NfP sector is more constrained by their finances in terms of offers that they can make to potential candidates for roles in their organisation. This means that they struggle to compete to secure the top candidates. NfP organisations typically address this issue by focusing on training current employees. Though they often underestimate the skills needed to deliver on new eProcurement technology.
FP organisations can of course compete more effectively on salaries and packages to secure top candidates: they will compete to secure any new skills needed within the organisation.
One of the key differences in skills within these organisations relates to the nature of the organisation itself. NfP Leadership skills emphasise knowledge of legislation, funding, cost control and governance processes. They focus on the ability to work within current processes, as opposed to change them, or at least a patience to realise that change is not rapid in NfP organisations.
For FP leadership skills, the emphasis is on Analytical thinking, business savvy individuals, creativity, change management, investment strategy and a constant drive to improve.
Firstly, in this context, it should be emphasised that no responsible organisation sets out to be unethical in their approach to doing business. Therefore in terms of ethics there are no clear differences between the NfP and FP sectors.
However, in the case of the NfP organisation there can be a significant influence in a specific ethical domain, driven by the purpose of the organisation. This purpose can influence the choice of supplier based on their ethical alignment to this purpose. As an example, on ethics, consider an NfP organisation that is focused in environmental conservation and the ethical criteria that they would apply to a selection process. Certainly they would apply more strict criteria in this domain in their selection process.
Value and strategic benefits to the organisation. Cost is a significant concern, however will focus more on TCO and returns on investment.
Constrained by finances. Often reliant on training current employees. Often underestimate skills needed.
Juggling with objectives, outcomes and stakeholders influence.
Resourcing process is slow. Partly due to need for oversight and partly due to slow rate of change towards any changing situation. Access to additional funding is also a complex and slow process.
Fast and responsive resourcing process driven by business cases and strategy. The movement of resources and funds is a lot more flexible.
Very public process – totally transparent selection process Adequate funding must be attained and disbursed, procurement practices need to be approved by several governing bodies and suppliers often undergo background checks and other investigations, all of which slows down the procurement process considerably.
Analytical thinking, business savvy and creative marketing. Change management and constant drive to improve.

U.S. says two Navy boats in Iranian custody
U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Ross sets sail in the Bosphorus strait, after returning from the Black Sea, in Istanbul, Turkey, December 17, 2015. (Reuters)
Staff writer, Al Arabiya News Wednesday 13 January 2016
The Pentagon said it had briefly lost contact with two small Navy boats in the Arabian Gulf but has received assurances from Iran that the crew and vessels will be returned safely and promptly.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif gave an assurance to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that U.S. sailors would be allowed to continue their journey promptly.
A Pentagon spokesman told The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the U.S. lost contact with them.
"We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly," said the spokesman.
The White House meanwhile said it is working to resolve the situation with the seized navy boats, and wants the U.S. personnel to be returned to normal deployment.
A U.S. defense official quoted by Reuters said that the U.S. had received assurances that its sailors will promptly be allowed to continue their journey.
U.S. news channel Fox reported that the U.S. sailors had drifted into Iranian territorial waters. U.S. officials said 10 sailors on the boats were in Iranian custody.
The circumstances surrounding the seizure of the boats – and the current status of the two vessels and their crew – are still unclear.

noun Plural form of hardtack.
He wouldn't go hungry, as he still had his last three or four hardtacks from Washington.
Soldiers gathered round the fires, boiling coffee, toasting hardtacks, cooking up stews with salt pork and desiccated vegetables.
Lieutenant E.D. Anderson (10th Cavalry) gave me two and one-half hardtacks from his supply, which he carried in his bosom.
He rode his horse across and was in the act of leaning over to get a couple of hardtacks the cook was handing him, when a splinter of a shell that had exploded at his horse's feet, struck him in the neck, killing him instantly, slightly wounding his horse and destroying the rations and vessels in the cookhouse.
As long as I had nothing but two hardtacks, which was the allowance to each man on the morning after the San Juan fight, no one could complain; but if I had had any private little luxuries the men would very naturally have realized keenly their own shortages.
_Or_, having fried bacon, pour the tomatoes into the mess pan, the grease remaining, and add, if desired, two broken hardtacks.
_ Pour into the mess pan one man's allowance of tomatoes, add about two large hardtacks broken into small pieces, and let come to a boil.
That afternoon we had just enough to allow each man for his supper two hardtacks, and one hardtack extra for every four men.
Members of the Illinois Regiment were offering our men $1 apiece for hardtacks.

Marnie és una pel·lícula estatunidenca de 1964 dirigida per Alfred Hitchcock i protagonitzada per Tippi Hedren i Sean Connery. El guió, de Jay Presson Allen, està basat en la novel·la homònima de Winston Graham.

Es tracta d'un thriller psicològic, en què Hitchcock dona un tractament força sòrdid de la sexualitat femenina, tret que caracteritza gran part de l'obra del director. Ha estat doblada al català.

Argument
Marnie Edgar (Tippi Hedren) és una dona jove, amb una por inexplicable envers els homes i les tempestes, una aversió per tot contacte físic i pànic al color vermell. És una lladre compulsiva, i utilitza els seus encants especials perquè Sidney Strutt (Martin Gabel) li doni una feina sense tenir referències. Marnie sobreviu robant en les empreses per a les quals treballa i canviant de personalitat en cada nova ocupació fins que coneix Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), un vidu propietari d'una gran companyia publicitària.

Però l'empresa de Mark és client de Sidney, i la víctima l'informa sobre la lladre i el robatori. Quan Marnie demana feina en el negoci publicitari, Mark se sent intrigat i interessat pel seu cas; arriba a sentir afecte per ella; després d'haver estat robat també li fa xantatge perquè es casi amb ell, amenaçant-la de descobrir-la si no ho fa.

Durant el viatge de nuvis, Mark s'adona de la frigidesa de la seva dona. Ell no ho respecta, i Marnie es mostra hostil amb ell, i finalment la viola per tal de consumar el matrimoni. Això fa que l'endemà ella intenti suïcidar-se, però el seu marit aconsegueix evitar que es mati.

De tornada, Mark tractarà de descobrir la causa de les diverses psicopaties de Marnie i el motiu del seu estrany comportament.

Repartiment

Alfred Hitchcock fa el seu cameo en el minut 5 de la pel·lícula: apareix en el passadís de l'hotel quan passa Marnie.

Producció
 Hitchcock volia Grace Kelly per al paper de Marnie, però quan això es va fer públic l'actriu ja era princesa de Mònaco, els seus súbdits van oposar-s'hi i ella va rebutjar el treball. Posteriorment, el director també va pensar en les actrius Eva Marie Saint, Lee Remick, Vera Miles i Susan Hampshire, però finalment es va quedar amb Tippi Hedren.
 La pel·lícula va ser rodada a les Muntanyes Blue Ridge, Atlantic City (Nova Jersey), Middleburg (Virgínia), l'estació de tren de Filadèlfia i altres indrets de Nova Jersey i Pennsilvània.

Currumbin Waters is a residential suburb on the Gold Coast offering acreage, waterfront and residential housing close to some of the best beaches and waterways of the area.
Currumbin Waters is very popular with families due to its proximity to transport, Currumbin Fair local village shopping, The Pines Shopping Centre Elanora, affordability and predominately flat generously sized building allotments.
The area which is now Currumbin Waters sat relatively dormant up until the 1970's and early 1980s when a canal estate named 'Marlin Waters' was developed and sold adjacent to Currumbin Creek Road. This well designed canal system offered southern Gold Coast residents appealing waterfront properties with ocean access via Currumbin Creek. The estate now comprises of a mixture of both low set and two level homes, predominately more affordable than its Central and Northern Gold Coast counterparts.
Growth continued in the suburb with dwellings eventually reaching the NSW border to the south, the Gold Coast Highway to the east, Guineas Creek Road to the north and Simpsons Road to the west.
The suburb has become popular with first home buyers or offspring of local families wanting to stay in the area or folks wishing to downsize from acreage properties in nearby Currumbin Valley.
Currumbin Fair Shopping Centre on Bienvenue Drive and numerous specialty stores.
The Pines Shopping Centre Elanora offers a larger variety of specialty shopping.
The home to a variety of unique, quality cafes that are spread throughout the suburb.


Jane Harington is a Saskatoon-based painter known for her luscious and painterly interpretations of floral bouquets and the Saskatchewan landscape. Harington works in oils with a loose and gestural style, combining thick paint and quick, energetic brush strokes with bold and inventive colour choices. There is a dynamic energy to her paintings, which seem to vibrate with echoes of her activity in the studio. Her paintings are inspired by the natural world--cut flowers from her garden as well as scenes of Saskatchewan's rolling hills and tangled brush--but Harington allows herself to move beyond the appearances of things to instead focus on the sensational and emotional dimensions of objects and places. Harington's take on the local landscape is also informed by her international upbringing; she was born on the Falkland Islands, grew up in Zambia and Zimbabwe, and studied in South Africa, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Capetown in 1978. Her adult life has been spent living in Zimbabwe and England before she moved to Canada with her family in 1991. Her art education began in Saskatoon where she studied under several local artists before completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Saskatchewan in 2004. Her work has been shown in group and solo shows in cities across the province, and is included in private collections in Canada, the United States, Britain, and South Africa, as well as the collection of the University of Saskatchewan.

I live in the heart of a Devon market town community with my teenage daughter and partner. Originally from London, I moved to devon 20 years to raise my family and am a committed member of my community.
Drawing on life experience, community work, and personal development practice, my interest in counselling support for women deepened during my mid-thirties whilst working in a non-counselling capacity with the bereaved. I have worked as a co-facilitator for Eyeshine, inspiring group-play within families in nature, as well as growing a private practice. I expanded my practice in working closely with The Green funeral Company as their in-house counsellor, and as an associate counselling consultant with The Big Blue. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families.
Out side of my work I love sharing time with my family and friends, painting, cooking, walking the cliffs by the sea with our dog and dancing in many forms. I believe deeply in the restorative powers of nature and endeavour to keep in touch with the adventurous spirit it inspires in me.

Hello there, I'm Dean Gootee and welcome to the Dig Through Time series! Like so many readers I started playing Magic: The Gathering at a friend's kitchen table. I had dabbled a bit in school, but it wasn't until Scars of Mirrodin block that I was hooked. I quickly discovered that my favorite part of the game was pouring through Gatherer for interesting cards that did really cool things and then figuring out how to build decks with them. I tried getting into Standard (I even built a R/G land destruction deck featuring a playset of Invader Parasite), but I was quickly disappointed that the flashy cards I liked weren't very good in that format. Fortunately I caught wind of a new format called Commander that featured big creatures, big spells and, most important, nothing rotated out! This was around Innistrad block, so I bought a box and pulled a Gisela, Blade of Goldnight! I quickly built a R/W deck featuring extra combat phases, double strike and damage doublers and was hooked from my first game.
My goal with the Dig Through Time series is to use EDHREC to find underplayed cards and hopefully bring you some of the excitement I felt in my early days of Magic. Each article features a set review from a bygone era and highlights cards that I believe are underplayed or undervalued in Commander. This first article focuses on Invasion, which came out in October, 2000. The set is packed full of really cool Commander cards that force interesting choices for you and your opponents that you would don't expect outside of Conspiracy. There are also staple cards like Rout. I'm convinced most cards in this set don't see play because people simply don't know about them or what to do with them. Let's dig right into this treasure trove of possibility as I discuss the cards themselves and suggest possible Commanders or other synergistic cards along the way. Finally I have a deck featuring one of the 2016 preconstructed Commanders that I tweaked to feature cards from Invasion.
The first card is Divine Presence, a 3 mana pillow-fort style card which EDHREC, at the time of writing, shows is only played in 112 decks. The card comes down early and shuts off a whole series of shenanigans, especially damage-based board wipes like Blasphemous Act, Chandra's Ignition, or Bonfire of the Damned. It also neuters beater-style aggro decks, such as Saskia, Prossh, and Xenagos. Voltron decks have a tough time hitting you for 11 Commander damage a turn. Notably, this won't get around ping and shock damage decks such as Nekusar, the Mindrazer, Purphoros, God of the Forgeor Pyrohemia. It also won't prevent the second strike of damage from double strike.This card slots best into life drain decks, such as Athreos or Ayli, that don't care about damage but focus on draining opponents using Exsanguinate or Debt to the Deathless, as well as other anti-aggro pillow-fort decks like Death and Taxes.
Another fun pillow card is Fight or Flight, which sees play in 69 decks. I like giving my opponent two bad choices and watching them sweat. It's not always optimal, but it throws interesting wrenches into plans. Admittedly, this card is a little hefty at 3W, but it does effect each of your opponents on their combat phase and could slot well into a Kynaios and Tyro of Meletis or Zedruu, the Greathearted style deck.
Mass land destruction is a much-maligned strategy in EDH; however, it's a perfectly valid tactic, so long as you can win within two or three turns of resolving it. Therefore I give you: Global Ruin. This card, currently played in only 80 decks, is better the more colors you're running since you should wind up with more lands after it resolves than your opponents. Global Ruin could be very effective in a five or four-color decks. Decks with green have the added bonus of being able to run Prismatic Omen to ensure that they wind up with five lands.
Moving into blue, we have Worldly Counsel, a card played in 19 decks, that should probably be thrown into a few more of the new four-color decks. If you can hit three or four land types with Domain, it becomes comparable to an instant speed Ponder for two mana. Granted, it's not always great in the early game, but who wouldn't play Ponder for two mana? At the worst, with only two land types it's comparable to Serum Visions.
Repulse just got a reprint in Conspiracy: Take the Crown, which pushed its popularity into 325 decks. This card is pretty good stuff-y. It interacts with certain, very specific cards like Warped Devotion, but overall it's just a decent bounce cantrip in blue. It pairs well with any spell-slinging commander like Mizzix of the Izmagnus, Talrand, Sky Summoner, or the more recent Baral, Chief of Compliance.
Slowing the game down can be a really valuable tool for decks that want to win in the late game. If you've ever played against a Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger that somehow resolved, you'll know just how frustrating it can be to miss out on untapping your lands every other turn. Some decks can play around Vorinclex with mana dorks (Cryptolith Rites, anyone?). Temporal Distortion costs three less than Vorinclex, shuts down dorks and rocks, and sees play in a mere 32 decks. Since it doesn't care why creatures tap, it also slows down combat, which many blue decks need to do. Run this in decks that utilizes heavy mana rock ramp like Sharuum, the Hegemon or Breya, Etherium Sculptor.
Speaking of mana dorks, Breaking Wave is a fantastic surprise that sees play in a measly 70 decks. It's excellent in decks running Simic colors paired with numerous creatures sporting activated abilities. I run Wave in my Prodigal Sorcerer-themed deck, but it also works really well in Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix, for example. In a pinch, this can be an emergency fog effect.
Mana Maze is an incredible card currently played in only 129 decks. If you like cards like Ethersworn Canonist, Rule of Law, Eidolon of Rhetoric or Curse of Exhaustion, you might like this card. Kruphix, God of Horizons, Teferi, Temporal Archmage, or Mishra, Artificer Prodigy decks that tend to rely heavily on colorless cards like artifacts and eldrazi really like this card. This card is especially good with Void Shatter, Abstruse Interference, Horribly Awry, Spell Shrivel, Ulamog's Nullifier, and Brutal Expulsion, since devoid lets you get around the color restriction.
Do or Die is half of a one-sided boardwipe for the price of Doomblade, which is played in only 157 decks. I think people overlook cards like this because your opponent chooses which pile to keep, but for two mana this can really upset an opponent's board. One of the biggest upsides of Do or Die is that you get to stack the piles. You get to separate combo creatures from each other and your opponent gets to choose which one to keep. Decks like Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Sheoldred, Whispering One, or Shattergang Brothers which have strong graveyard synergies may want this card more than others.
Yawgmoth's Agenda is played in 17 decks, which is understandable, since it's a little bit of a tricky card. Playing only one spell per turn is a significant downside, but having a Yawgmoth's Will turned on for yourself all the time is a hell of an upside. So what do we put this in? Esper prison decks. Share that downside with your opponents by playing cards like Rule of Law, Eidolon of Rhetoric and Mana Maze. I'd suggest an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic enchantment lockdown deck. If you run Venser, the Sojourner you can cast your first spell from your graveyard each turn, flicker the Agenda, cast the rest of your spells for the turn (which will now go to your graveyard), and then end the turn, getting your Agenda back.
Trench Wurm is a great problem-solver for political plays that is currently played in 28 decks. You can promise to keep boogeymen like Inkmoth Nexus, Gaea's Cradle, Rogues' Passage, and Eye of Ugin off the board, while leaving everyone's color fixing lands alone. Or, you could eschew diplomacy entirely and start picking off your opponent's only sources of certain colors. Since it goes in decks that run black and red you have the option of running cards like Reanimate and Anger to keep it around and make it work right away.
Speaking of land sniping, take a look at Shivan Harvest, which is run in 324 decks. Let's say you're running RGx tokens. Glacial Chasm is shutting down your aggro? Everyone at the table has just allowed Tempt with Discovery's controller to ramp four lands ahead? Maze of Ith is threatening to keep you off of lethal damage this turn? Drop this little beauty on the board and sacrifice a few of your excess tokens. For maximum efficiency flash in Dictate of Erebos on the end step before your turn. 1R and a token is nothing for instant-speed problem land removal. Try this card in Saskia, the Unyielding, Marath, Will of the Wild, Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, or Shattergang Brothers.
As 95 decks know, political mass land destruction is probably the best kind of mass land destruction. The oracle text on Bend or Break says that you get to choose the opponent that destroys one of your piles. If one player is ramping way ahead, you and another player can put all lands in one pile, and nothing in the other, and choose to destroy the empty pile. Even without a political alliance, this is a great way to catch up to someone ramping ahead in green, without setting you and the other players back too significantly. This card plays especially well in lands-matter decks that don't care so much if their lands get blown up. Pair it with cards like Titania, Protector of Argoth Omnath, Locus of Rage, The Gitrog Monster and Splendid Reclamation.
actually be useful! Look at Stand or Fall, a card played in just 27 decks. How would you like to take out half of each opponent's blockers each turn? This card is like super menace that happens to pair well with actual menace. Play it with Iroas, God of Victory, Goblin War Drums, and War Cadence. Go buy one for your Saskia the Unyielding precon (it's a whopping 18 cents!) try it out and see what you think.
Mages' Contest. Is. Awesome. And only 143 decks are running it! Don't run it if you're playing blue, but if you're not, you should consider this card. Players often overestimate the importance of their spells and often will pressure themselves into bidding too much life to ensure it goes through. There's no real downside to you since if whatever they're casting wins the game on the spot, you have nothing to lose going all-in to counter it. People never expect non-blue counterspells, and this one is a game of "how much life will you pay to resolve that overloaded Cyclonic Rift?" This card is great in RWx decks with lifegain themes like Brion Stoutarm, Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder + Tymna, the Weaver with Exquisite Blood.
You should run Fog in your decks. Tangle is an excellent fog being run in 221 decks. Whatever kind of deck you're running, keeping your opponent's creatures tapped down for a turn is a fantastic advantage. Whether you're playing Derevei, Emperial Tactician lockdown, or Gahiji, Honored One group slug, you want this card. One really fun trick you can do with Tangle is to cast it during the End of Combat step. In this step, creatures are still attacking, but damage has already been dealt. If you like where those attackers are pointed, but you want an opening for a lethal swing in the next two turns, let the damage happen, and then cast your Tangle.
Bind is a great card, which sees play in 117 decks. It feels really good to counter a fetchland activation. It feels great to counter Sensei's Divining Top. The sheer joy you feel when countering Tamiyo, Field Researcher's ultimate. The fact that it's in green, which is so where you would expect this ability to go, and that it cantrips, is just gravy.
129 decks are answering questions like, "Oh, you're hardcasting Thromok the Insatiable?" "You're pumping Atarka, World Render with Xenagos, God of Revels at the start of combat?" "You entwined Tooth and Nail for Blightsteel Colossus and Urabrask the Hidden?" with Backlash. Outside of Grixis, RBx doesn't really do tricky things. Tap down effects usually come in white or blue. If you haven't noticed by now, I really like effects that are obvious color pie violations and just a little bit odd to boot. Backlash is all of those things. Is it good? Maybe. Is it competitive? Probably not. Is it awesome? Hell yeah, it is.
Tsabo Tavoc is currently played in 117 decks, and her only real downside is her cost. Seven is pretty steep for a black/red deck, even in EDH. But, when you have access to the colors of reanimation and haste-enabling, it could be worth the try. 7 power and first strike should keep most creatures at bay. Protection from legendary is always relevant in Commander. Her activated ability can make your opponents think twice about even casting their commander.
Seer's Vision is a slightly more expensive Telepathy that offers a nice bonus ability that sees play in 71 decks. Getting to sacrifice it to remove a combo piece, or other choice card is pretty excellent. However, the real value of cards like this is letting your opponents see each other's hands. People go nuts looking out for their opponent's boardwipes, counterspells, removal, and threats, while your hand stays out of sight and out of mind. If you're good at politics, this card can be better than any answer. Your opponents can't lie and say they aren't holding a Krosan Grip to get rid of that Mindslaver threatening to lock out the table. The only thing to watch out for is people getting annoyed about mixing their hands up with their permanents. If you hear the table start to get salty, it may be time to force someone to discard.
There are plenty of creature-centric decks that would like Aether Rift, but only 25 decks are running it. Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, Kresh, the Bloodbraided, and Ravos, Soultender + Tana, the Bloodsower are all decks that should strongly consider this card, but the one deck that it is criminally underplayed in? Ruric Thar the Unbowed. Ruric Thar is already beating your opponents over the head for 6 damage each time they cast a non-creature spell, they can't easily afford to pay an extra 5 life on each of your upkeeps to prevent you from getting a free creature. You should keep your hand empty of lands so the ability isn't a bust, so be sure to run cards like Mina and Denn, Wildborn, Sakura-Tribe Scout, and Skyshroud Ranger.
Glissa, the Traitor is a rattlesnake of a card that some people run in 893 decks (more decks than the number of decks she commands) just for the combination of deathtouch and first strike. Voracious Cobra is a real snake with the same abilities, that gets played in just 30 decks. Red/Green aggro generally wants to attack each turn with all of their creatures, but doesn't have very many defensive options, outside of fog effects. For 2RG you can keep most archetypes, other than token swarm, pointed at other targets.
I'm always looking for cards that tax my opponents. If Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale is outside of your price range, Vile Consumption might be for you. Seeing play in only 111 decks, Vile Consumption comes down early. The fact that it's an enchantment makes it a little bit harder to remove, which is nice. 40 seems like a lot of life, and 1 life seems like so little. Your opponents are usually, foolishly, too willing to pay the tax to Vile Consumption. This would go into any drain deck that's either light on creatures, or gaining more life than it has to pay to Consumption. Consider it for decks like Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Nekusar, the Mindrazer.
Recoil is another nice, general-use bounce spell that could stand to see more play than the 253 decks that currently run it. It's fine as a good stuff card. It's just a slightly more expensive Boomerang that also forces your opponent to discard, but if you're in a discard themed deck, and can get your opponent hellbent, this card reads "put target permanent into its owner's graveyard." This card is especially nasty in decks like Leovold, Emmisary of Trest, Crosis, the Purger, or Nicol Bolas.
Seeing play in 364 decks, Cauldron Dance is such a weird, powerful card.There's nothing else quite like it, it's kind of like Through the Breach meets Postmortem Lunge. At instant speed, it's a nice enabler for enter the battlefield triggers. Also, while it doesn't even touch Tooth and Nail, it can be a combo enabler for cards like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion, or Kiki-Jiki + Zealous Conscripts (but you wouldn't run those boring combos anyway, would you?) In a very bad pinch, Cauldron Dance gives you two emergency blockers.
Those are my top picks for best hidden gems in Invasion.The set is full of fun, interactive cards that are sure to liven up your games. Hopefully you'll consider some of them in your next deck build. I tweaked one of the Commander 2016 decks to showcase some of the cards we discussed. This deck is aggressive, with a side of disruption and control, and I hope it whets your appetite for our next set review where we take a look at Mercadian Masques.

Lee College Featured in CNN "Where are the Jobs?"
CNN recently did a segment on the need for more skilled workers in the US manufacturing sector. This video focused specifically on the process industry opportunities in Baytown, Texas, a hub for the US petrochemical business. Lee College in Baytown was featured as an educational institution that is training new workers for the process industries. Not four year degreed engineers, but highly specialized technologists with two year degrees that can go right to work in process plants. Demand for skilled people in Baytown is high, and Lee College happens to be one of our certified training partners under the Fieldbus Foundation FCTP program. At one point they interview a recent graduate who is a 40 year old woman who was doing day care before she got her degree. Her first job will earn her more than her brother who has a four year degreed computer engineer.
As a bonus you can see FOUNDATION Fieldus certified instructor Chuck Carter in one of the shots and some very clear footage of the fieldbus lab.
The Aramco Expats blog has a great article about longtime FOUNDATION Fieldbus proponent Patrick Flanders and Aramco's involvement in FOUNDATION Fieldbus for Safety Instrumented Systems (FF-SIF). According to the article, " Saudi Aramco is moving to install a completely integrated FF-SIF system at its Ju'aymah Gas Plant. According to Flanders, that will be the first deployment of the new FF-SIF technology in an operating facility worldwide." Indeed it is, and we will be watching developments around this first deployment of FF-SIF closely.
This week we announced enhancements to the open, non-proprietary Foundation fieldbus physical layer technology. The latest updates to the H1 (31.25 kbit/s) physical layer specifications will improve the robustness of fieldbus control systems by optimizing device interoperability and integration. End users will benefit from easier installation, faster commissioning and seamless startups.
Addition of a test procedure for isolated couplers to the existing Foundation fieldbus Coupler Test Specification. Registration of isolated couplers is now possible.
Improvements to the H1 Physical Layer Conformance Test Specification based on Action Requests received during the last few years. The most significant changes include the addition of a receive jitter test case and a device-coupler interoperability test.
Updates to the H1 Physical Layer Test Specification to remove obsolete profiles and align new references in the document with the current International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifications. Coupler profiles were also added to the test specification.
Implementation of the new Foundation fieldbus H1 Physical Layer Test Specification Version 2.0 is not immediately required. However, fieldbus device developers are encouraged to start using the specification as soon as possible. The updated specification will become mandatory with the next major release of the Fieldbus Foundation's Interoperability Test Kit (ITK). Until then, developers can still provide proof of conformance to Version 1.5 of the specification when registering a device.
For more information, please visit the Technical Specifications Page.

For the last 35 years Lewis Coaches have delivered a broad range of travel services for the local community, and for student, international and specialist tour companies.
Based in Llanrhystud near Aberystwyth, they were looking to build on their recent growth and update their website. This is our second collaboration with Lewis Coaches, and using our original build as a foundation, the new Lewis Coaches website uses the very latest version of the award winning Joomla CMS platform, with a design which took cues from the previous website but with a new spin.
Here's a very quick overview of what goes into the value you see on your proposal or invoice.
There is no guideline rate for creative or technical services such as website design, marketing, copywriting, branding or consulting. It's a free market, and individuals and companies will charge what they need to keep the buisness healthy and profitable, and in the UK that can mean anything from £25 to £500+ an hour.
Access Traffic Management Ltd is a progressive company specialising in the supply of safe, effective temporary traffic management.
Working closely with the Access Management team to deliver a clean, crisp build, this new website makes great use of the colour white and the company's stock imagery to deliver a website which looks great on pc's, laptops and mobile phones.
Our second collaboration with Yacht Delivery UK.
The first Yacht Delivery UK website brought increased exposure to this young and dynamic company, and for our second collaboration they wanted to take advantage of both the increase in customer attention and the shift towards mobile browsing. The newly refreshed Yacht Delivery UK website is now fully responsive, and added to the subtle shift in design this small company is set to grow further still.
If the answer is yes, that's great, Google thinks you're fab. If the answer is no, it is likely your search position or ranking will drop below the websites that are.
As of April 21st 2015, Google updated its search algorithm in favour of mobile friendly or 'responsive' websites, and by responsive we mean websites that automatically adjust their size and layout so as to be legible and usable on mobile devices such as your phone, tablet and laptop.
Here's the revamped version of my personal website bazwatkins.com including the new branding.
Rebuilt from the ground up to house all my non work stuff, you know music, photos, that sort of thing. It's still a bit of an ego trip, but at least the music's nice.
FD Energy are Biomass heating specialists providing domestic and commercial heating solutions.
As a brand new company FD Energy wanted a modern, professional website to promote their specialist Biomass, Wood Burning, Gas & Oil and Solar Thermal heating services. Working closely with Neil and John we delivered a website that was easy to use, informative and highly visual.
Spend a few minutes online and you will see that the cost of UK based website design services differ dramatically from designer to designer and agency to agency.
This is because there is no guideline rate for website design and development, how much you will be quoted will depend on what the company or individual considers a viable value for the level and quality of the services they provide. With that in mind, we thought it might be useful to put together a quick breakdown of the options available if you were looking to get a website created by a UK based supplier.
Yacht Delivery UK provide professional yacht, powerboat delivery and skippering services on a worldwide level.
They wanted a website that delivered an instant impact. Keeping the design focused on the gorgeous ocean imagery, we opted on a design that split the screen in two, with the content working in unison with the pictures.
Having a website is the most effective way to promote a business.
Having a presence online is a necessity these days, because your customers are more than likely using the internet instead of reading ads in newspapers or thumbing through the Yellow Pages. They use their phones, tablets and laptops to go to Google and ask questions, then they scan through the options given, click on a few websites and choose the company that meets the requirements they have.
A personal website for my dance music mixes.
For the last few years I have been quietly making dance mixes for friends, family and anyone foolish enough to listen. Over time I built up a fair number of them, so bazwatkins.com was born to keep them all in one place.
The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway is a historic funicular railway and tourist destination overlooking the town and Cardigan Bay.
Situated at the northern end of Aberystwyth promenade, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway was opened in 1896 and over the last 120 or so years it has become a must see destination for those visiting the town.
A content management system or CMS for short allows you the website owner to update, edit or 'manage' a websites menus, pages, text and images.
There is more to a CMS of course, but when it comes to normal everyday use a CMS pretty much hands over the post build management of a website from the designer to the owner. This is great if you are a small business owner, as you don't have to pay a designer every time you need to make a change, with a CMS and a little bit of training, you can do it all yourself.
Fused UK provide PAT testing services in and around Leeds.
Fused UK wanted to update their old website to make it more customer focused. They were looking for a website that would build interest and promote their professional electrical testing services to their customer base within the Leeds area.
Aberystwyth originated as a garrison town, but over its history it has been a mining town and at one stage the 2nd busiest port in Wales.
Over the last 140+ years it has been known mostly for its university and as a tourist destination. In more recent times it has become the cultural, academic and administrative centre of the west coast of Wales. It is home to 13,000+ permanent residents, and during university term times another 10,000 or so students. It is also home to the Aberystwyth University, the National Library of Wales, the Welsh Books Council and the Urdd amongst many others.
Like many other Aberystwyth based companies create/enable reaches beyond its borders, delivering website design and branding services to companies looking to get the most out of life online. However, for create/enable Aberystwyth is home, it's our base of operations and we love it here.


While there have been plenty of studies on the value of inbound tourism to Spain (and the correlating value of hotel investment in its more popular regions), the value of the country's outbound travel trends hasn't received nearly as much attention.
A new study from analytics company GlobalData found Spanish outbound tourism is expected to grow from $47.9 billion this year to $64 billion in 2021, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6 percent.
GlobalData's latest report, "Tourism Source Market Insight: Spain - Analysis of tourist profiles and flows, spending patterns, destination markets, risks and future opportunities," reveals Spain's economy has been growing for 17 consecutive quarters. As a result, Spanish tourists are likely to have an increase in disposable income to travel abroad, reflected by GlobalData's high growth forecast.
From 2017 to 2019, expenditure grew exponentially at a CAGR of 12.1 percent from $38.1 billion to $47.9 billion. This dramatic rate of growth indicates the growing profitability of Spain as a tourism source market. Spain's increasing growth in outbound expenditure is one of the highest in Europe. The country's forecast CAGR of 15.6 percent is more than double the growth of particular G7 countries between 2019 and 2021, such as France and Italy.
GlobalData forecasts that Spanish outbound spending will start to increase at a higher rate on sightseeing and entertainment activities. The country's financial situation going from strength to strength enables Spanish tourists to spend more money on "add-on" activities such as these.
While outbound tourism expenditure is expected to grow continuously for years to come, domestic overnight stays are expected to slow down in 2021. This forecast may be as a result of usual domestic tourists now utilizing LCCs to travel internationally, according to GlobalData.


Greensboro, NC: Syngenta is looking for a M.S. chemist to be a formulator. Can't quite tell if the position is entry-level or not? Probably 1-2 years industrial experience desired.
Shanghai, China: Eli Lilly is looking for a process chemistry group leader.
Hyderabad, India: I see Novartis is looking for folks in Hyderabad.
A broader look: Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed and USAjobs.gov show (respectively) "1000+", 610, 10,189 and 13 positions for the search term "chemist." LinkedIn shows 975 positions for the job title "chemist", with 119 position for "analytical chemist", 39 for "research chemist", 18 for "organic chemist", 8 for "polymer chemist", 6 for "synthetic chemist" and 0 for "medicinal chemist."


As the market becomes more competitive, companies must adapt to cope with the changes and stay ahead of the curve. They need an expert to help them create an enabling work environment for their diverse workforce.
The modern workplace must be fluid and dynamic to keep up with a changing market environment and consumer preferences. A growing market often leads businesses to realize quick growth. This calls for the expansion of their operations. Such developments create the need to hire employees with a diverse range of skills and drawn from different backgrounds.
Without proper systems, companies have a hard time getting their teams to work together. With the right employment law training, you can help them create a great workplace.
Creating an enabling work environment is key to succeeding in a cutthroat market. Small companies face some challenges in this sector. Businesses that worked their way up from a one-man show face serious headwind when they need to hire people.
They face challenges coming up with a salary scale, job descriptions, and even terms of engagement. Such oversights leave them vulnerable to exploitation by employees. Or cause them to exploit their new hires. As an expert, you can help avoid incurring severe legal trouble.
Businesses need to hire the best talent. That means hiring people from different background, race, age, nationality, culture, and religion. Trying to get such a diverse group of people to co-exist takes a lot of work. The individual differences create opportunities for discrimination, oppression, and even abuse.
Not only would such occurrences reduce productivity; they will also increase the risk of lawsuits. But with your help, they can resolve the issue effectively. You can help employers draft a code of conduct that creates a fair working environment for all. An employee's code of conduct is useful in getting errant employees to toe the line. It also becomes part of a company's brand identity.
The dynamic marketplace creates a growing demand for an expert in employment law. With proper training, you can help businesses create an enabling workplace for their diverse team of employees.

The brand new 3TB Toshiba HDD has slown to a crawl on both read and write access. Currently I have 296GiB/2.72TiB used up, so masses of free space.
After running Crystal Disk Mark on the drive I got 1MB/s read and 0.8MB/s write speed.

Update:
This seems to be intermittent, I tried to open a game on that drive about an hour ago and it hung before it had even gone full-screen or loaded anything, I checked the hard drive with CrystalDiskMark and it didn't even start the test after several minutes. I restarted my PC and it loaded the game almost instantly.

GA Court of Appeals Reverses Sodomy Conviction
Home Legal Blog Sexual Assault Cases GA Court of Appeals Reverses Sodomy Conviction
In Jordan v. State, the Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the defendant's conviction for sodomy holding that the trial court erroneously instructed the jury on the legal definition of sodomy.
The trial court instructed the jury that the offense of sodomy is committed if the defendant "perform[ed] a sexual act with the person of [the victim] involving the sex organs of the accused and the mouth of said person." The defendant asked that the phrase "by force" be added to the instructions, and the trial court denied his request. During deliberations, the jury asked the trial court for the legal definition of sodomy. The court read from the sodomy statute that "a person commits the offense of sodomy when he performs any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another."
In 1998, the Georgia Supreme Court decriminalized "private, unforced, non-commercial acts of sexual intimacy between persons legally able to consent" which would otherwise fall under the sodomy statute. Although the use of force is not a statutory element of sodomy, the Court of Appeals held that in light of the case law, the lack of force was a possible defense to the crime of sodomy.
The Georgia Supreme Court has previously held that "when a given instruction fails to provide the jury with the proper guidelines for determining guilt or innocence, it is clearly harmful and erroneous as a matter of law." The Court noted that even when the jury asked for clarification, the trial court failed to inform the jury that lack of force was a defense. This was especially harmful to the defendant because lack of force was his sole defense.
Thus, the Court of Appeals reversed Jordan's sodomy conviction and remanded the case for a new trial.

If you need CAD services performed, and don't have sufficient in-house abilities, then outsourcing may be the answer. Outsourcing your CAD services simply means the contracting out of all our part of your CAD functions to an external provider. The term outsourcing is sometimes confused with offshoring, causing concern with companies who want to keep their work within the United States. Therefore, it's important to understand that you can outsource your CAD services without going offshore.
Some outsource CAD firms provide online technologies for submitting drawings and are able to provide specialized CAD services over a wide geographic area. However, even with these online companies, you'll find that most legitimate U.S. based companies provide a bona fide address and telephone number. One of the benefits of dealing with a legitimate online CAD service company can be the preferential conversion rates that these firms are often able to provide, because of their lessened traditional "brick and mortar" expenses.
To find out more about how CAD services outsourcing can help you, get a free CAD Conversion Consultation from CAD CAM Services below.

The Unexpected Connection Between The Great Gatsby And The Legend Of Zelda
By Corin MJ Bae/Nov. 29, 2022 10:05 am EST
"The Great Gatsby" and "The Legend of Zelda" aren't names you'd often expect to hear in the same sentence, but it's true: The long-spanning powerhouse JRPG franchise from Nintendo owes a major element of its series identity to the work of 20th-century American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well as his wife, Zelda Fitzgerald.
While most fans probably know that Zelda Williams was named for Robin Williams' love of the video game franchise, it seems that Princess Zelda has a namesake herself. During their lives, Zelda Fitzgerald was just as famous as her husband for her strong personality and wild antics — her image as the proto-"manic pixie dream girl" archetype is immortalized in the tempestuous heroines of her husband's novels, having inspired the characters such as Gloria Gilbert of "The Beautiful and the Damned" as well as (perhaps most famously) Daisy Buchanan of "The Great Gatsby" (per The Guardian).
However, despite serving as a glamorous muse in multiple now-classic works, the posthumous legacy of Zelda Fitzgerald was anything but. While the true nature of the diagnosis that had her confined to mental health institutions for the latter parts of her life is a matter of modern debate (via HuffPost Women), the fact remains that her bold but unpredictable character is nothing like the many transformations of Princess Zelda we've seen so far. It begs the question: What could have possibly motivated Nintendo to pick a charismatic but thoroughly controversial figure as the namesake for the titular character in "The Legend of Zelda" series?
It was an offhand decision
Unfortunately, the answer is somewhat anticlimactic in that it amounts to simple unfamiliarity. In the foreword of "Hyrule Historia" — the franchise's only official and comprehensive "lore bible" that explains the entire timeline (via Archive.org) — series creator Shigeru Miyamoto recounts that his heart had been set on naming the game "The Legend of" something, but he hadn't been able to decide on what or who this something might be. Apparently, the PR planner for the game mentioned that there was "a famous American author whose wife's name is Zelda," and suggested the name to invoke a "classic appeal." Miyamoto ended up liking the name enough to stamp it onto the title as well as the principal damsel character, and the rest is history.
The interesting part is that Zelda Fitzgerald herself was named after a fictional character — namely, the titular character of "Zelda's Fortune," a dense novel by British author Robert Edward Francillon published in 1874 (via The Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum). It's fascinating to think that Princess Zelda's name comes from a chain of namesakes dating back over a hundred years before "The Legend of Zelda" was developed, the century gap and cultural distance bridged by a simple offhand comment during development.

PHH Mortgage is one of the top ten mortgage lenders in the United States. Their mission statement is to "treat customers like family while providing financing for the American dream. The experience will be smooth, easy, and at times, fun. We will do this with unequalled passion and expertise." In 2004, a total of $53 billion was loaned out in mortgages. With two main facilities, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and Jacksonville, Florida, PHH employees 6300 people. The company has made the Top 100 List of Training Magazine, and Top 25 Companies that Care from Jacksonville Magazine. They are #1 in loan origination by phone. Standard and Poor's ranked the company "Strong" (the highest rating) for residential mortgage loan servicing.
One of the guarantees offered by PHH to borrowers is that if the promised closing date isn't met, interest will be reduced on the loan by 1/8 of one percent over the life of the loan. Another benefit offered to borrowers is pre-approval, so that the customer can enter the marketplace with the ability to negotiate and find the home best suited to their means.
Cendant/PHH Mortgage demonstrates its commitment to community through volunteerism by team members. The projects range from food banks to computer donations, mentoring young people, helping to build houses and fundraising efforts for local community projects. The company also makes cash contributions to a variety of schools, non-profit social service and arts agencies. In 2005, team members volunteered over 5300 hours locally in Florida and New Jersey.
The company was also recently cited by Freddie Mac for their Tier One performance ranking in recognition of excellent investor reporting and default management. They were one of only 84 servicing companies to meet the standards for Tier One.
In late 2005, PHH acquired the assets of CUNA Mutual Mortgage Corp., a servicing arm for credit unions across the country. CUNA was servicing over $10 billion in loans. With CUNA's commitment that credit union members receive the best customer service possible, PHH is pleased to add this segment to its portfolio and committed to continue the service that is expected by CUNA's clients.
