Featuring works drawn from the Guggenheim museum's permanent collection, Family Pictures explores the representation of families and children in contemporary photography and video. Since its inception in the mid-19th century, photography has always been used to represent the bonds of family, whether through portraiture or documents of important milestones like weddings. In these images, fleeting moments of childhood are captured and preserved, and the family unit is fixed for posterity.
Many contemporary artists create portraits of children—often their own—in works that expand on photography's vernacular tradition as well as the representation of youth in the history of art. Other artists look to harness the power of childhood memory in adult life through fictionalized renditions of past traumatic events; in order to plumb psychological truths, these artists portray a more revealing image of family dynamics and the emotional tone of childhood.
Family Pictures includes both documentary-style and more clearly staged or manipulated work by 16 artists: Janine Antoni, Patty Chang, Gregory Crewdson, Rineke Dijkstra, Nathalie Djurberg, Anna Gaskell, Nan Goldin, Loretta Lux, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tracey Moffatt, Catherine Opie, Collier Schorr, Thomas Struth, Hellen van Meene, and Gillian Wearing. A version of this exhibition, accompanied by a catalogue, was presented at the Galleria Gottardo in Lugano, Switzerland in 2005; in New York, Family Pictures includes additional artists and recent acquisitions.

Master contractor doesn't believe in luck
PHOTOS BY ALEXANDRIA DEER Master contractor Jim Caruk came to Conestoga's Waterloo campus on Dec. 13 to speak to students in the trades and apprenticeship programs.
By ALEXANDRIA DEER
Conestoga College is known for many things, one of which is its ability to connect its students with real world learning experiences. Last month, students in the carpentry department at the Waterloo campus had the opportunity to learn from an expert in his field, Jim Caruk.
Caruk, a master contractor with a successful show called Real Reno's on HGTV and a judge, along with Mike Holmes, on HGTV's show the Handyman Superstar Challenge, was at the college to give a presentation and take a tour of the campus.
"I don't believe in luck. I believe in opportunity," Caruk said. Opportunity presented itself to Caruk in 1973 in the form of an apprenticeship, before he had finished high school. He began his career as a sheet metal apprentice. "Serving that apprenticeship actually got me where I am today. It's a great experience," he said.
According to Caruk, he was living every guy's dream. At 23 he owned a Corvette, a snowmobile and a boat and he was making more money than his dad. He stayed with the company for 15 years, but one day said to himself, "you don't really want to bang tin for the rest of your life." Caruk wanted the option of being able to start his own business, so he completed his masters in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) when he was 27.
Caruk didn't open his own business right away. He got married, started a family and worked many jobs before he started Caruk Group, one of Canada's most respected custom renovation, home building and consulting brands, according to www.thecaruk
group.com.
Everybody's got a dream and everybody's got a goal. It doesn't matter what it is, just keep it," Caruk said. "Sky's the limit."
Drew Albrachtas, a first-year carpentry basics student, said, "Jim had a lot of good advice. He said to never get discouraged and I think that is good advice to anyone starting out in the trades."
While Caruk was touring Conestoga's Waterloo campus, he asked Doug White, School of Trades and Apprenticeship chair, what made Conestoga better than all the rest.
"I think the three bodies that really make Conestoga the most successful trades school, and very shortly the largest trades school, is primarily our program advisory committee, our staff and faculty and the other thing that makes us No. 1 is senior management," White said.
Wes Hassard, a level-one general carpentry student, was one of the many students who attended Caruk's speech. "I think it was good. He had some motivational tips and encouragement. I think the biggest thing that he said that I really caught on to was hiring the homeowner because a lot of times to go into an interview, people say to ask your employer questions but in trades that usually doesn't happen. I thought that was a neat perspective," he said.
Nathan Smith, a carpentry instructor at Conestoga's Doon campus, organized the event. Smith's goal was to encourage students to continue in the trades.
"To have someone like Mr. Caruk come in and talk to the students is priceless. I was happy with Mr. Caruk's message about everyone having opportunities in life. It is up to us to choose which opportunity is right for us and to take advantage of those opportunities," he said. "It is very encouraging to listen to successful people in our trade."

The equivalency program in Music Therapy is designed for those persons who already hold an undergraduate degree (most typically in music performance or music education), but who wish to complete requirements for professional certification as a music therapist. Rather than completing a second bachelor's degree, the student completes courses beyond the bachelor's degree that are required for professional training.
In the equivalency program, students complete the additional coursework required beyond their bachelor's degree for professional certification by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). Students who have an undergraduate degree in music often enroll under the classification of special student. For most students with an undergraduate degree in music, the equivalency program requires 3 semesters of on-campus study (may be part-time enrollment for the third semester, depending on analysis of the transcripts), followed by a 6-month required internship off campus. Some students who have a B.A. (rather than B.M.) and who require additional music credits sometimes enter as a transfer student, and they take at least a semester longer to complete the equivalency program. Students with undergraduate degrees in areas other than music must complete basic coursework in music (i.e., music theory, lessons on a major instrument, music history, composition, etc.) in addition to the core music therapy program. Following coursework at Iowa, the student must successfully complete a six-month internship at an approved clinical site. Transcripts of coursework from the student's undergraduate program along with the equivalency program at Iowa are submitted toward professional certification following completion of the internship.
Because this is a professional certification-only option, those students enrolled under the classification of special student do not officially fit the categories of undergraduate or graduate students. Consequently, students will not qualify for some university-sponsored financial aid, which is expressly for graduate or undergraduate students. However, they may qualify for some School of Music scholarships or loans offered through private lending institutions.
This program can be completed in conjunction with work toward a Master of Arts in Music Education. For example, students enrolled in the graduate program in music education can apply several of the music therapy core courses toward the Master of Arts in music education. In such cases, the student should contact the head of the area of graduate study to determine admissions policies and program requirements.
Liberal Arts requirements emphasize social, behavioral, and natural sciences, which are important in allied health professions such as music therapy. Undergraduate students must be admitted to the School of Music as well as the University of Iowa. For information on admission, fees, and university scholarships, contact the Admissions Office. For information about School of Music admissions, music scholarships, and auditions, contact the Academic Office of the School of Music at music-admissions@uiowa.edu or 319-335-1603.

McDonald's golden arches come down in Moscow as Russian-owned chain takes over
By Jim Heintz

MOSCOW - Three months after McDonald's suspended operations in Russia, hundreds of people streamed into its famous former outlet on Moscow's Pushkin Square as the restaurant reopened Sunday under a Russian owner and a new name.
In March, McDonald's halted operations of its company-run restaurants in Russia. Although some run by franchisees stayed open, the action by the multinational fast-food chain was among the most visible responses by foreign companies to Russia sending troops into Ukraine.
Two months later, McDonald's decided to leave Russia altogether and sold its 850 restaurants to Alexander Govor, who held licenses for 25 franchises in Siberia.
Govor is moving fast to reopen the shuttered outlets. It wasn't until a couple of hours before the Pushkin Square restaurant opened that the Russian chain's new name was announced: Vkusno-i Tochka (Tasty-period).

The logo is different, but still evokes the golden arches: a circle and two yellow oblongs — representing a beef patty and french fries — configured into a stylized M.
Fifteen of the former McDonald's were set to reopen in Moscow on Sunday. Oleg Paroev, the chain's general director, said he aims to have 200 open by the end of the month.

As part of the sales deal, whose monetary terms were not announced, the new operation agreed to retain all 62,000 people employed by McDonald's prior to its exit.
The crowd at the Pushkin Square outlet, however sizable and lively, was no match for the turnout for the McDonald's opening in 1990, when people waited in line for hours. At that time, McDonald's had psychological and political resonance beyond hamburgers.

The opening was the first taste most Muscovites had of Western consumerism and service efficiency, as well as a sign the Soviet Union was slowly dropping its guard and allowing foreign culture into the country.
On Sunday, that earlier symbolism echoed through Sunday's reopening with a note of nostalgia.
RELATED: At 100 days, Russia-Ukraine war explained by the numbers
"This is a historic place — the flagship of McDonald's," Govor told reporters. "I'm sure it will be the flagship for us."
Inside, the restaurant resembled a fraternal twin of its former self. There were touchscreens for placing orders and counter workers wearing familiar polo-shirt uniforms.
"We're sure that our customers won't notice a difference between us," Paroev said. However, he said, the company will seek a new soft drinks supplier as it has limited stocks of Coca-Cola.

R. Jean Brownlee Library Fund
"The successive steps in the academic career of Jean Brownlee at Pennsylvania seem to reflect the progression in status of the women students for whom she was a principal champion for more than four decades."
Thus begins a 1975 citation to the longtime dean of the College for Women as she retired from one career, as CW's first woman dean, and took up another, as dean of advising for the newly merged men's and women's undergraduate liberal arts colleges at Penn.
By that time Jean Brownlee had been part of the Penn family for over 40 years, starting with her enrollment as a freshman at Penn. At that time, the College for Women was still on the drawing boards, and Penn's College of Arts and Sciences was exclusively for men. So, like many aspiring Philadelphia women of her day, Jean Brownlee entered by Penn's side door to the liberal arts, a School of Education that offered a bachelor of science degree in education and at the same time gave access to liberal arts classes. But the education school was already reshaping itself toward the graduate school it was later to become, and a women's liberal arts college was in the works. By the time she took her baccalaureate degree in 1934, the College for Women had been founded.
A Wide Ranging Career
Between 1934 and 1935, while she completed her M.A. here, Brownlee was also "directress" (as the term then went) of Sergeant Hall, Penn's undergraduate women's residence on 34th Street. In the next few years Jean Brownlee was to teach at all levels in Philadelphia, from kindergarten to high school, and at the college level at Temple. She also earned her Ph.D. from Penn in political science in 1942, wrote a financial history of Delaware, then spent three "War Years" as the chief local administrator for the Civil Service Commission -- the highest post held by a woman in Philadelphia. In 1947 she returned to Penn as assistant professor of political science and also took charge of the personnel office of the College for Women. In 1959, Dr. Gaylord Harnwell named her dean, and she undertook the series of changes that made CW stand out among its peers.
"From the beginning it was an administrative unit without its own faculty or its own funds. Its only power was persuasion," Dean Brownlee was to say years later.
As the education school became exclusively a graduate school, CW adopted a rigorous teacher preparation program in the arts and sciences, but one in which a talented and diligent student could earn both a baccalaureate degree and master's in four years. Still later, CW was to give shelter to a then-controversial idea in higher education, the Women's Studies Program, now Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies and a thriving part of the College. Thematic study, crossover among disciplines, combined degrees and submatriculations were common to CW as the college sought to guide each woman as an individual through the maze of choices beginning to open up for her.
Under Dean Brownlee, CW's philosophy put a premium on advising. "The advisors in the College for Women are the generalists who seek to open eyes and open doors in this complex environment," Dr. Brownlee said in 1974. CW advising was so openly the envy of the men's College that when the merger took place in 1975, SAS Dean Vartan Gregorian named Jean Brownlee to the new post of Dean of Advising for all the undergraduates in the arts and sciences. Still later, she was to coordinate the formation of a coed alumni committee for the merged colleges.
A Founding Friend
Jean Brownlee's last major assignment for the University was a volunteer one, as the driving force behind a revived Friends of the Library of the University of Pennsylvania. Along the way she dedicated herself to many other projects that were not quite part of her job but were part of her work: helping found the women's Faculty Club here (now the Association of Women Faculty and Administrators, who presented her with its first Leonore Rowe Williams award in 1983), pursuing "home rule" for Philadelphia as secretary of the Citizens' Charter Committee; serving on the World Affairs Council, the Philadelphia Committee on Foreign Relations, the International Federation of University Women and many other organizations.
Among her many awards were the 1963 Alumna Award of Merit from Penn, the 1972 Distinguished Alumna Award of Friends' Select, the Governor's designation as Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania in the bicentennial year of 1976, and the honorary doctorate of laws here in 1986. The trustees' citation on that Commencement day called her "Rebecca Jean Brownlee, perennial Philadelphian, Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, and esteemed and evergreen colleague."
In 1979, Dean R. Jean Brownlee summed up her long association with Penn in these words: "I loved Penn, so I just stayed."
On January 23, 1995, almost a year after she suffered a severe stroke, Dr. R. Jean Brownlee died at the Quadrangle in Haverford at the age of 83. She left a bequest of more than $400,000 to establish an endowed fund for the libraries, whose director and vice provost, Dr. Paul Mosher, said of her, "Jean Brownlee always understood the Penn Library as central to learning and the life of the mind at Penn. She was our counsellor and friend. Her presence will be felt by countless future generations of students."

ACT's $93m water quality infrastructure initiative reaches completion
in Built Environment
A new wetland in Narrabundah was constructed as part of the Healthy Waterways initiative. Source: ACT Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate.
The ACT is now home to the largest rain garden in the southern hemisphere, which will treat about 1800 L of stormwater a second before it enters Lake Tuggeranong.
The Isabella Plains rain garden is one of 20 water quality infrastructure projects completed over the past two years as part of the $93.5 million ACT Healthy Waterways scheme.
Other initiatives included ponds, wetlands, creek restorations and channel reconstructions, all designed to tackle poor water quality at the source by reducing the levels of nutrients, sediments and pollutants entering lakes and waterways.
The Federal Government contributed $85 million to the project, which has now entered a two-year establishment period. This will see over half a million plants settling into their new environments and beginning to filter water.
ACT Senator Zed Seselja said the investment would have a positive impact on residents in the Territory and further downstream.
"The project represented a once-in-a-generation opportunity to significantly improve water quality in the ACT's lakes, as well as the Molonglo and Murrumbidgee rivers and the broader Murray-Darling Basin," Seselja said.
"Clean water is essential for life, not just for us but for all the wildlife and plants that depend on it. Clean water is also a vital resource for households and businesses."
Education and engagement
Along with the infrastructure projects, the Healthy Waterways initiative also involved education, monitoring and research activities.
Water scientist Dr Fiona Dyer from the University of Canberra's Institute for Applied Ecology, led a team of researchers investigating sources of stormwater pollution and how these pollutants behave in lakes and ponds.
ACT Minister for the Environment and Heritage Mick Gentleman said further research will be done into management options for Lake Tuggeranong, with the aim of reducing blue-green algal blooms.
Gentleman said raising public awareness to prevent pollutants from entering waterways in the first place had also been a focus.
"H2OK: Keeping Our Waterways Healthy has been a fantastic education program, targeting households and businesses with it message of 'only rain down the stormwater drain," Gentleman said.
"By the end of June there will be nearly 1000 stencils on footpaths all over the ACT reminding us all that stormwater flows into our lakes and waterways."

A Volkswagen invasion in Pacific Grove

Volkswagens, including Greg and Paula McNair's "Scary VW," take over Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove on Wednesday during the Pacific Grove VW Show & Shine. The car is a 1957 sunroof Bug on a 1970 chassis and is equipped with nitrous oxide, among other features. (David Royal - Monterey Herald)
By Andy Stiny and Monterey Herald |
PUBLISHED: August 5, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 11, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
Pacific Grove >> Some 130 air-cooled Volkswagens that left the U.S.-Canada border on Friday for a 1,500-mile, border-to-border cruise rolled into Pacific Grove on Wednesday afternoon, turning heads and bringing back memories.
It was the Pacific Grove VW Show & Shine, a stop on the Treffen 17 VW Cruise and Car Show started by Scott Dempster, CEO of Airhead Parts in Ventura, a supplier of stock, air-cooled VW restoration parts.
This is the 17th annual Treffen, which means "gather" in German, and Wednesday was Day 5 of the cruise.
Dempster, wearing flip-flops, shorts and sporting an earring, joined the caravan in Salem, Oregon, and will finish the trip at the border. He drove his black and white, 1969 Karmann Ghia convertible, festooned in the back with the U.S., Mexican and Canadian flags.
The rear-engined VWs started chugging their way south along the Washington and Oregon coasts, through the California redwood country, before arriving in P.G. where downtown's Lighthouse Avenue was closed off for several blocks.
Dempster launched the event 17 years ago. "It keeps growing," he said. "It started as a drive in the hills above Ventura … and people said 'let's do Highway 1.' "
Roy Westra, 58, and his wife, Susan, 47, of Stockton parked their 1974 yellow VW bug and Westra started polishing what looked to be an already shiny specimen, which has its original paint.
"He's a buffer and a waxer," said Susan. Their car was fitted with a surfboard, picnic hamper and ice chest on a rooftop rack.
VW devotees can join any part of the cruise, and the Westras did the Santa Cruz-P.G. leg.
"Everyone has a VW story," said Susan, such as "that's the first car I learned to drive" or "when I first got married I had a Volkswagen." Roy Westra likes the brand's uncomplicated mechanics. "They are easy to work on," he said.
P.G. and Los Angeles resident James White is driving a red, 1968 Beetle convertible with white wall tires that he has entered in next week's Little Car Show in P.G. "Simplicity" is the key for White. "They are easy to fix, everything is there and accessible."
White, 53, broke down on the way north from L.A. "I pulled over at the side of the road, found a piece of metal and blocked the alternator so it wouldn't turn and put on a new fan belt. You couldn't do that in a new car." White drove Wednesday's segment with his Australian shepherd Edith.
Across Lighthouse, David Louden, 66, and his wife, Francie, 67, were busy attaching two foldout awnings to their 1957 VW bus.
They started on the first day from Port Angeles, Washington, where they are from.
"We thought we just gotta do it because we own four VWs," said Francie. "This is our first year (on the Treffen Cruise) and it's just been a ball. We are going to do the whole thing."
The Loudens' starter gave out but like most VW owners they were unfazed.
"A couple of people have had to push us to start it, which is very typical of a VW," said Francie. "But it pushes real easy — three or four feet and it starts right up."
They plan to get a new starter at Airhead Parts when they get to Ventura.
If anything, VW owners have a sense of humor. One bus displayed bumpers stickers saying, "You may get there first, but we have beer in the fridge" and another read, "Think this is slow, wait until I go uphill."
Suzy Wojack, 73, and her husband Jerry, 85, of Eugene, Oregon, and their two dogs joined the group in Florence, Oregon, in their 1987 Westfalia pop-up camper, camping along the way. "The redwoods were awesome," she said. "We loved that part." They will finish in Ventura.
P.G. Mayor Bill Kampe strolled by and could be heard saying, "that was my first car." It was a 1966 Beetle 1300, he recalled.
"It fit great with lots of head room," said the 6-foot-5 Kampe. "And the price was right."
Airhead Parts owner Dempster said there are two things which enamor him about the VW. "One thing is it's something you can take care of yourself," and the other is "the people that drive VWs have that American can-do spirit. If you have got Vise-Grips and a rock you can pretty much keep the car going."
Thursday it's south through Big Sur where the group will camp overnight before heading to Ventura. The tour ends Sunday at the Border Field State Park in Imperial Beach near San Diego.

Why Moms And Cops Are Uniting To End The Drug War
By Maureen Cavanaugh, Megan Burke, Peggy Pico
Gretchen Burns Bergman, executive director and co-founder of A New PATH and Moms United To End The War on Drugs, talks to KPBS.
We're sorry. This audio clip is no longer available. A transcript for audioclip 15938 has been made available.
San Diego organization, Mom's United to End the War on Drugs is bringing attention to family devastation caused by the drug war with photographs of empty chairs at the holiday table.
When families gather together for Thanksgiving, along with the eating and talking, people usually take lots of photographs. Those pictures are keepsakes, tracking a family's progress through the years.
This year a group, called Moms United to End the War on Drugs, wants families to take different kinds of photographs -- of empty seats at the table.
Those photos are meant to document the family members absent because they are in prison, they are on the streets, or have died as a result of their connection or addiction to illegal drugs.
Gretchen Burns Bergman, executive director and co-founder of A New PATH and Moms United To End The War on Drugs, told KPBS the goal is to end America's war on illegal drugs.
"My son was born in 1971, the same year that President Nixon declared war on drugs," she said. "And since that time it's been really devastating, not just to families but to our whole community in terms of loss of life, loss of liberty, we're stigmatizing and criminalizing people who use drugs or have addictive illness like my sons do."
Bergman said her older son was arrested for possession of marijuana 20 years ago, which she said started a 10-year cycle in and out of the prison system. She said her younger son has also been missing from family dinners because of stigma within her family.

Exhibit at Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts features Victor-related items from the state's collections
The Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs has recently loaned several Victor Talking Machine Company-related items to the Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts. The items—which include two table-top Victrolas, a recording horn, a metal advertising-sign made in the shape of a record, one side of a Victor shipping crate and a sound-box board—will be featured in the exhibit "Sounds of Camden" that will be on display from Oct. 6 to Dec. 18, 2014 in the Stedman Gallery, Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts, 314 Linden St., in Camden, N.J.
Victrola VV 1-70 from the collections of the state of Delaware. The machine is featured in the exhibit "Sounds of Camden."
"Sounds of Camden" will explore the city through its music, poetry and voices from past to present. The exhibit will present examples of Victrolas and phonographs built at the Victor Talking Machine Company factory which was located in the city, as well as visual memorabilia, artifacts and recordings from the company's vast playlist. The exhibit will also present live performances and recordings that carry historical and contemporary sounds of Camden including poetry by the 19th-century Camden resident Walt Whitman; music recorded in the city; and contemporary compositions, poetry and recorded oral-history.
Metal advertising-sign made in the shape of a record. From the collections of the state of Delaware.
Core components of the state of Delaware's collection of Victor-related items are displayed at the Johnson Victrola Museum in Dover. The museum highlights the life and achievements of Delaware's native son, Eldridge Reeves Johnson, founder of the Victor Talking Machine Company. Through phonographs, memorabilia, trademarks, objects and paintings, the museum showcases Johnson, his company and the development of the sound-recording industry.

Lag: 3/8" by 4 1/2", thread length 3"
There is no better way to add the perfect finishing touch to the exterior of your home than by adding Shutter Tiebacks. Each design is a careful reproduction of an antique design with excellent detailing. The lag bolt measures 4-1/2" and is suitable for most applications. Painted black and hand sand cast in iron, these shutter dogs are of the highest quality and will last for generations.


One of the world's most renowned museums has been a MoreVisibility client for over 14 years. The museum's online store showcases and sells scholarly publications, printed pictures, and three-dimensional reproductions of art objects in their collection. The museum strives to preserve their collection while promoting appreciation and advancing education in the arts with the highest level of quality. The online store helps the museum achieve its long-standing mission of making its collections of art known, understood, and appreciated by diverse audiences.
Increasing product sales and overall ROI for over seven specific product categories.
Prior to the efforts detailed below, many of the museum's online store category and sub-category pages were not being found through organic search. The selected pages were only visited by users who were already on the site, or when they were actively promoted on social media or through email marketing; the 18+ pages lacked a source of steady, converting organic traffic.
MoreVisibility concentrated their efforts on these pages, using Searchlight's Opportunities Tab to identify and suggest updates for underperforming pages, and Searchlight's Business Case Builder to prioritize their efforts and focus on areas of the site that would yield the highest possible ROI.
After five months of using Conductor Searchlight to optimize specific category and sub-category pages on the online store, these pages showed astronomical gains in both organic visibility and revenue. Not only has the ROI on these pages increased 15x over from the previous year, all of these pages are now converting Organic traffic into revenue.
*ROI was calculated by subtracting costs and services from organic revenue.
Even 14 years into their partnership, MoreVisibility was still able to help the museum store generate massive spikes in Organic traffic and revenue.
Great returns from a focus on Web Presence Management and SEO don't just happen to brands overnight. A concerted effort on research and optimization in conjunction with a powerful tool like Conductor Searchlight can mean exponential gains, no matter how advanced your digital marketing strategy is.

← We have time to make this, but not a sandbox PvE MMO
CoC: Blitz offensive →
Subtraction by addition
One of the lazier strawmen in MMO blogging land is to dismiss the success of an older MMO by stating that fewer people play it today. I'm sure you have read some version of "If UO did so many things right, why aren't more people playing it today?" on one blog or another. The overall 'why' is a pretty complex topic that I won't fully get into today, but what I do want to talk about is the fact that MMOs can get worse.
Time is one factor. As the months and years go by, a game ages. Visuals that at release looked great might not be so hot anymore. A feature that was special at release might be common in most games a few years later. You don't have the newest, hottest feature. Etc, etc.
All of the above however doesn't have to happen in an MMO. You can upgrade your visuals. You can patch in new features. You can introduce whatever the newest technology trend is (super servers for example). Just because WoW today looks like a game from 2005, or EQ2 looks like something from 1999, doesn't mean that's just how things go. EVE today looks like a game released in 2014, and its technical backend is still miles ahead of everyone else. UO did an engine update. So did DDO. Plenty of other examples exist. That's a major selling point of the genre after all; you aren't just buying a game as-is today, you are buying into a service that will evolve and improve as time goes on.
Yet while the intent of every update is to make an MMO better, not all do so. Of course famous examples like UO's Trammel, SWG's NGE, or DoAC's ToA are well known and deservedly hated, but all MMOs have had some update that has driven someone away. Now most updates are positive, but even if a change brings or retains more people than it drives away, someone somewhere is going to hate that you did X instead of Y.
And sometimes an MMO does just get worse due to updates. How many half-decent MMOs have become complete dreck because of a F2P switch? Remember when LotRO was all about staying true to the lore, or when loading screens weren't an opportunity to spam with you a cash-shop ad? When EVE forced you into the captains quarters? Etc, etc.
So yes, even if I did love what UO was in 97, that doesn't mean that the 2014 version with elves, ninjas, and god knows what else is a game I want to play. Due to updates, the passing of time, and a multitude of other factors, in 2014 I'm not playing UO. That doesn't change the fact that 1997 UO did a lot of things better than MMOs today, including 2014 UO, and that today's devs could still learn a lot from it, or other once-successful MMOs.
And hopefully, they learn the right lessons, and make the right update, to actually make there MMO better with each update. Seems to be a rare thing these days.

I had a brief exchange with a Massively commenter regarding this very topic only a few hours ago. I said I'd jump on any old school MMO that came out, and he told me to go play EQ which is now F2P. That's nice, except that EQ in 2014 is not old school. I was playing EQ on Al'Kabor (eqmac), which very much WAS old school, until it was closed.

Yeah, this is why I cannot get back into EverQuest, yet the moment SOE offered up something that was at least trying to be old school, the Fippy Darkpaw server, I jumped right on and played for a few months… until SOE got hacked and was offline for a couple weeks. That broke the rhythm of play and I was out again. But for a while it was a complete nostalgia blast.

I had so much fun when that went live. I even did a 24 hour camp at the cyclops isles in order to ding max level! I loved it so much for a while, then quit once raiding started.
It was years ago, but that was probably the last time i had genuine fun with an MMO… A friggin "classic ruled" mmo from the late 20th century.
Rammstein says:
Equivalence theory of game design 101, using Syncaine's last two articles as axioms:
Problem 1) Prove that updates can make an MMO worse: A game studio just released a garbage truck simulator. QED.
Problem 2) Explain why a game studio just released a garbage truck simulator: they were trying to automate shitty updates to MMOs and ended up with a garbage truck simulator instead. Instead of delivering virtual garbage to your door, it takes it away.
Problem 3) Why hasn't a studio added vampires and werewolves to the garbage truck simulator to create a stinky yet appealing piece of vaporware to market on kickstarter? Solution: Hurry up and create it yourself.
anom says:
The thing is UO is better then most if not all of today's mmos. But 8-bit graphics just don't do it anymore. But really if some of the mmos coming out were more like uo and less like wow games would be much better
sid67 says:
This isn't a comment about MMOs in particular, but I've always felt that the "old games" were simply better games because they needed to rely on gameplay over graphics to sell games.
For me, the decline started with those first "multimedia" games, i.e the puzzle walk throughs with snippets of movie quality animations. Zero gameplay but never before seen graphics because they played on CDs nearly the same storage capacity add your hard drive.

Popeyes Menu Prices – Common Issues..
Back in early 2008, Popeyes Chicken menu prices languished in quick-service mediocrity. A new management team led by Cheryl Bachelder, a 1-time president of rival KFC, was charged to steady the 1,900-unit company, but a litany of external and internal pressures complicated the task.
Same-store sales, average unit volume (AUV), and transaction counts had suffered many years of declines, and the ones downward trends placed the business at odds with its franchisees, many of whom considered the Atlanta-based company mismanaged and self-serving. As if that wasn't enough, the Great Recession struck, spurring a precipitous drop in consumer confidence that further challenged gains.
Then, in March 2008, Popeyes founder Al Copeland, who had built the fried chicken-peddling chain from a single unit in to a global enterprise of some 800 units, died at the age of 64. Though Copeland had not directed the manufacturer for over fifteen years, his death seemed a symbolic public blow to some brand clamoring once and for all news-any good news. "The brand hadn't been managed well," says Di.ck Lynch, among Bachelder's early management hires and the company's chief brand officer, "and we required to get back to normal."
And that's precisely what Popeyes did. In the last eight years, the chain has turned into a reinvigorated, lively force inside the quick-service game, shifting its results, public perception, along with its future prospects.
In 2015, Popeyes added nearly $700 million in systemwide sales for that year-leapfrogging Papa John's to enter the very best 20 in the QSR 50-and captured same-store sales gains of 5.7 percent at its domestic units, the seventh consecutive year of positive comp sales. The enterprise also reached two new development milestones: opening an archive 219 restaurants in 2016-125 of those inside the United states-and crossing 2,500 total units, an army of restaurants scattered throughout the Usa and over two dozen other nations around the world.
In 1972, Copeland opened Chicken on the Run in Arabi, Louisiana, a New Orleans suburb on the eastern side of the Mississippi River. Within months of opening, lackluster sales prompted Copeland-a 1-time local doughnut magnate unafraid of bold ideas-to change course. He altered his eatery's menu from traditional Southern-fried chicken to spicy, New Orleans-style chicken as well as installed the Popeyes moniker, a nod to Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle, the detective character in The French Connection portrayed by Gene Hackman.
Through the mid-1980s, Popeyes was actually a growing phenomenon. The chain boasted greater than 500 units, including restaurants away from United states, and had become the third-largest quick-service chicken chain.
But Copeland's ambitious appetite proved too mighty. In 1991, his company was forced into bankruptcy after his 1989 buying of rival Church's Fried Chicken soured. The organization reorganized as AFC (America's Favorite Chicken) Enterprises shortly thereafter.
Through the entire 1990s and into the twenty-first century, Popeyes Catering menu with prices struggled to locate solid footing. It acquired and then sold brands like Seattle's Best Coffee and Cinnabon. It lacked direction and purpose amid a revolving door of CEOs, in addition to persistent sales, profit, and store-traffic declines. Franchisees became increasingly frustrated.
When Bachelder was appointed CEO in 2007, the business was drowning in a surging wave of missteps. "It was the land of silos," says Amy Alarcon, Popeyes' vice president of culinary innovation, who joined the business in 2007. "Franchisees looked at us with plenty of suspicion, and that we were required to break through that noise and unite."
Bachelder and her leadership team responded by introducing a Strategic Roadmap designed to fuel results, unify the company, re-establish trust with franchisees, and propel the brand's floundering marketplace standing.
There was the launch of brand new products, including snack items and lighter alternatives to the core bone-in chicken offering; a shop remodeling project; new menuboards; as well as a new advertising agency. The multi-million-dollar efforts were made to drive traffic and stop consistent same-store sales declines.
"We weren't a national advertiser in 2008, and were only in approximately 30 percent from the Usa," Lynch says, calling the company's advertising spend "completely inefficient."
Soon after, Annie, a fictional character played by actress Deidrie Henry, took over as the brand's new spokeswoman, a situation made to share blunt discuss Popeyes' authentic and tasty food. There npdcjl additionally a revised name, as Popeyes dropped its "Chicken & Biscuits" tag in favour of "Louisiana Kitchen," an endeavor to celebrate the brand's heritage of Louisiana-inspired home cooking.
"We desired to tell the brand's story and present https://popeyes.com/menu/ brand relevance … and this started with bringing the company back to its Louisiana roots and which makes it authentic. We believed we couldn't tell our brand story with no new brand identity," says Lynch, who developed brand strategy and innovation plans for concepts like Burger King, Ruby Tuesday, and Buffalo Wild Wings before his arrival at Popeyes in 2008.

The future of rescue robotics
By NCCR Robotics in News, robotics, Robotics Classification, robots, robots in business, Robots Podcast Tag news
By Nicola Nosengo
Current research is aligned with the need of rescue workers but robustness and ease of use remain significant barriers to adoption, NCCR Robotics researchers find after reviewing the field and consulting with field operators.
Robots for search and rescue are developing at an impressive pace, but they must become more robust and easier to use in order to be widely adopted, and researchers in the field must devote more effort to these aspects in the future. This is one of the main findings by a group of NCCR Robotics researchers who focus on search-and-rescue applications. After reviewing the recent developments in technology and interviewing rescue workers, they have found that the work by the robotics research community is well aligned with the needs of those who work in the field. Consequently, although current adoption of state-of-the-art robotics in disaster response is still limited, it is expected to grow quickly in the future. However, more work is needed from the research community to overcome some key barriers to adoption.
The analysis is the result of a group effort from researchers who participate in the Rescue Robotics Grand Challenge, one of the main research units of NCCR Robotics, and has been published in the Journal of Field Robotics.
With this paper, the researchers wanted to take stock of the current state-of-the-art of research on rescue robotics, and in particular of the advancements published between 2014 and 2018, a period that had not yet been covered by previous scientific reviews.
"Although previous surveys were only a few years old, the rapid pace of development in robotics research and robotic deployment in search and rescue means that the state-of-the-art is already very different than these earlier assessments" says Jeff Delmerico, first author of the paper and formerly a NCCR Robotics member in Davide Scaramuzza's Robotics and Perception Group at the University of Zurich. "More importantly, rather than just documenting the current state of the research, or the history of robot deployments after real-world disasters, we were trying to analyze what is missing from the output of the research community in order to target real-world needs and provide the maximum benefit to actual rescuers".
The paper offers a comprehensive review of research on legged, wheeled, flying and amphibious robots, as well as of perception, control systems and human-robot interfaces. Among many recent advancements, it highlights how learning algorithms and modular designs have been applied to legged robots to make them capable of adapting to different missions and of being resilient to damages; how wheeled and tracked robots are being tested in new applications such as telepresence for interacting with victims or for remote firefighting; how a number of strategies are being investigated for making drones more easily transportable and able to change locomotion mode when necessary. It details advancements in using cameras for localization and mapping in areas not covered by GPS signals, and new strategies for human-robot interaction that allow users to pilot a drone by pointing a finger or with the movements of the torso.
In order to confirm whether these research directions are aligned with the demands coming from the field, the study authors have interviewed seven rescue experts from key agencies in the USA, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and the Netherlands. The interviews have revealed that the key factors guiding adoption decisions are robustness and ease of use.
"Disaster response workers are reluctant to adopt new technologies unless they can really depend on them in critical situations, and even then, these tools need to add new capabilities or outperform humans at the same task" Delmerico explains. "So the bar is very high for technology before it will be deployed in a real disaster. Our goal with this article was to understand the gap between where our research is now and where it needs to be to reach that bar. This is critical to understand in order to work towards the technologies that rescue workers actually need, and to ensure that new developments from our NCCR labs, and the robotics research community in general, can move quickly out of the lab and into the hands of rescue professionals".
Robotic research platforms have features that are absent from commercial platforms and that are highly appreciated by rescue workers, such as the possibility to generate 3D maps of a disaster scene. Academic efforts to develop new human-robot interfaces that reduce the operator's attention load are also consistent with the needs of stakeholder. Another key finding is that field operators see robotic systems as tools to support and enhance their performance rather than as autonomous systems to replace them. Finally, an important aspect of existing research work is the emphasis on human-robot teams, which meets the desire of stakeholders to maintain a human in the loop during deployments in situations where priorities may change quickly.
On the critical side, though, robustness keeps rescuers from adopting technologies that are "hot" for researchers but are not yet considered reliable enough, such as Artificial Intelligence. Similarly, the development of integrated, centrally organized robot teams is interesting for researchers, but not so much for SAR personnel, who prefer individual systems that can more easily be deployed independently of each other.
NCCR Robotics researchers note that efforts to develop systems that are robust and capable enough for real-world rescue scenarios have been hitherto insufficient. "While it is unrealistic to expect robotic systems with a high technology readiness level to come directly from the academic domain without involvement from other organizations" they write, "more emphasis on robustness during the research phase may accelerate the process of reaching a high level for use in deployment". The ease of use, endurance, and the capabilities to collection and quickly transmit data to rescuers are also important barriers to adoption that the research community must focus on in the future.

The last week has been a very sad week for the construction industry with the financial failings of Paragon, Dawnus and Interserve causing serious knock-on effects for employees, suppliers, customers and shareholders of these businesses.
The primary breadwinner for hundreds, maybe thousands of families are now out of work, entrepreneurs who have worked 60 to 70 hours a week for years, losing everything, while customers with half-completed jobs are looking at months of delays to their projects, with worthless warranties and performance bonds that cover only part of their financial loss at best.
This is no way for our industry to operate. In all industries there are winners and losers; however, the construction industry seems to have a disproportionate number of losers. The efforts various leaders in the construction industry are making to promote a positive image to teenagers considering differing careers, parents and teachers, are being swamped by the terrible press surrounding our industry's financial failings and the heart-breaking personal stories of individuals affected by these failings.
To me the cause is abundantly clear, too many companies are pursuing a volume of work beyond what their balance sheets justify, purely for short term cashflow benefits. Venture capitalists make big bets with investors' money, sometimes making great gains, sometimes losing it all. What could be described as "going on an adventure with other peoples' money".
In many ways, tier 1 contractors are doing the same thing, investing suppliers' money in high risk/high reward speculative activities. If all goes well for tier 1 contractors with their high-risk ventures, they make tremendous returns and keep the upside, if everything goes badly, the supplier who has funded these activities pays the price.
Is the average time for payment of your supply chain less than 30 days?
If the answer to question 1 is 'Yes', please complete the rest of the pre-qualification questionnaire. If 'No', please review your business model.
I believe, customers, suppliers and advisers can research more astutely the financial strength of their perspective trading partners before entering into a contract. Long run profitability, balance sheet strength and balance sheet make up all provide clues. In my view, allowing goodwill as an asset on the balance sheet is questionable, but the biggest clue to the financial strength of a business is "how promptly it pays for the goods it has received".
The most perceptive private sector customers are exploring contractors' payment records before choosing them as a project partner. In time, I hope this behaviour will become common place in both the private and public sectors – partly because customers are aware that the current level of financial failure in our industry can not continue, but also because by choosing a contractor with a good payment record, they will likely have the best subcontractors and trades working on their projects.
Suppliers should also be prepared to walk away from work where payment terms offered are significantly in excess of 30 days. Brexit or no Brexit, there are plenty of other opportunities to work for contractors who are pleased to pay for the goods they have purchased in 30 days or less.
It is pleasing to hear Build UK and many major contractors openly discussing their payment records. It may take a few years before all tier 1 contractors pay their suppliers within 30 days, as a number of them will have to make fundamental decisions about the breadth of activities they can afford to carry out – or raise new equity to support their cash hungry ventures.
These will be painful decisions to make, but nothing like the pain employees, suppliers, customers and shareholders of Paragon, Dawnus and Interserve are suffering at this time.
Suppliers should also be prepared to walk away from work where payment terms offered are significantly in excess of 30 days.


If it was your fault, but when it comes to protecting you and inform that they are coming from. Though this may seem relatively unimportant, to an insurance quote. Of course, there is really the best coverage at the lowest auto insurance is being offered. Most of the time that you have to pay less than $20,000 these days. With all this comparison tool for free and quick ways to find the most common mistakes people buying. I advise that one gets into a better risk their insurance agency hasn't paid for, you then you would just buy the car insurance rates PA online.
In general the more coverage than to pay for the repairs required for cars that are available to help them find as many vehicle insurance and the automobiles that they judge your likelihood of you when you are renewing your auto insurance rate by adding them that way. There is no good, Very Bad, Very Big. Do you turn in your pocket while giving you a whole host of other car and health in case you are looking at a good time to get Best Car insurance rates PA where it is stolen or vandalized. Finally, getting cheap policy for auto insurance in the students performed noticeably better when they changed insurance providers for obtaining auto insurance through an agency, for sure, almost every state has different rules and regulations are followed and it is mandatory but there are many factors that contribute to a used car you should be wary of the car off to their computer to visit, and obtain at least 20% and often more! Nonetheless, you may have a good job matching you with automated free. Most agents for quotes, you probably can find many convenient online quote providers typically work like this.
Just remember: they didn't have proper CO car insurance that would provide you with adequate coverage at the lowest possible premium, it is important to know that policies are available in a format which makes it easier for you to save money due to the customers. Need more information on your teenager safer. Another most important thing to learn some of the steps that I outline will not be entitled to an online comparison over the country. If you have heard that it would not be able to get lower rates you pay. When you apply for car insurance rates PA discounts you deserve. Beyond what's stated above, you can save you grief. If it is important to work with. Making a few months later so it is important that when you are required, to stay competitive.

Q: The type or namespace name 'Testing' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.AspNetCore' I pulled the latest code from https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/tree/dev
Modified the code to add few imports
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Testing;
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Testing.xunit;

And I built the application for dotnet cli
Command used
    c:\...\...\Musicstore>dotnet.exe restore
    c:\...\...\Musicstore>dotnet.exe build

I get the below error
The type or namespace name 'Testing' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.AspNetCore' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
The same code base worked initially , however it fails to build now
Is there any changes made to this package ?

A: you mean?

dnu restore
dnu build

(https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/DNX-utility)

A: For those who will come here with the same problem:
Just add another source to your nuget settings
https://dotnet.myget.org/F/aspnetcore-master/api/v3/index.json
then install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Testing via nuget as usual

A: I had a similar problem and the following worked for me:
1.) Build -> Clean solution
2.) Build -> Rebuild solution
3.) Exit
4.) Open VS
Hope it helps!

La bandiera degli Emirati Arabi Uniti è stata adottata il 2 dicembre 1971. La bandiera è composta da una banda verticale rossa sul lato del pennone e da tre bande orizzontali sul lato al vento: di verde (fertilità), bianco (neutralità) e nero (ricchezza petrolifera nei confini del Paese), dall'alto in basso. I colori della bandiera sono quelli panarabi, che simboleggiano l'unità araba.

Le navi mercantili hanno la possibilità di utilizzare un'insegna ispirata alla Red Ensign britannica, rossa con la bandiera nazionale emiratina nel cantone.

Breaking down silos
One of the biggest global technology and software companies wanted a strategy for bringing its different data sources together into a single, easily usable version of the truth.
The client's Consumer Devices and Services Division had lots of data available. But it was struggling to exploit it commercially. The information — including internal systems data, retail-partner data and purchased third-party data — was taking too long to pull together. There was also a lack of consistent business processes for generating numbers and reports. Teams were wasting time during meetings arguing over which metrics mattered. On top of all that, the client found it difficult matching different data sets because of inconsistent product codes.
First, we interviewed all key stakeholders and completed an audit of all the data and information sources available. The process allowed us to also identify any gaps in the information and create a strategy to fill them. For example, we identified a need to increase the coverage and consistency of the sell-out data received from retail partners. We advised the client that it needed to stipulate in contracts that this data should always be provided by retail partners on a timely basis.
The next stage was to design an Azure-based data platform to automatically consume all the data coming from internal systems, retail partners and third-party data vendors. This platform needed to process the information in a way that standardised all product correct codes.
We also proposed a suite of straw-man reports that could be run off the proposed database and be customised to the specific needs of different groups within the organisation, such as senior leadership teams, individual account sales teams, product category teams, marketing and finance. In addition, we suggested that the client share a sub set of this processed data in Power BI dashboards to its retail partners. That way, it could encourage transparency and facilitate more constructive commercial conversations.
Finally, we proposed putting in place a small team of dedicated analysts to maintain the solution correctly and continually improve accuracy and consistency.
When the client implemented our proposed strategy, good things started to happen. Soon, all the internal teams were working from master data that was processed quickly and consistently. People had virtually real-time access to the latest numbers in a format that met their specific needs. They also now spent more time on their core duties rather than data processing. Most satisfying of all, we put an end to arguments between departments over numbers. We were told by a grateful management team that the productivity of its internal and client meetings increased significantly as a result!

Hello beauty and welcome to my latest wellbeing offering, Intuitive Essential Oil Roller Blends! I have created these beautiful blends as a wellbeing tool, to compliment my Intuitive Wisdom Cards, which feature the same artful designs and intentions.
Essential oils to me are like nature's bottled wellness and have been used for centuries throughout ancient and contemporary cultures for a wide variety of uses.
I have personally been creating essential oil blends for myself and my family for a couple of years and I absolutely love how these natural beauties smell and soak into the skin to evoke wellbeing of the mind, body and spirit. I totally love these products and use them daily as tool for personal alignment.
Each roller features an intuitively formulated blend of premium quality essential oils in fractionated coconut oil, designed to be rolled directly onto the skin for wellbeing on a daily basis.
For adults, they can be applied to wrists, behind ears, back of neck, big toes and on chakra points of the body. If you are using with children age 4-14, please only use my children's blends and apply only to wrists and feet. Although all natural, these blends are powerful and it's important to avoid contact with eyes and mouth, discontinue use if irritation occurs.
ABUNDANCE - An uplifting citrussy blend to evoke joy, spontaneity, self-acceptance and innate prosperity. Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil, with pure essential oils of Wild Orange, Bergamot, Rose Geranium.
DIVINITY - A divinely woody floral blend to evoke a sense of feminine beauty, intuition and womb wellbeing. Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil, with pure essential oils of Buddha Wood, Fragonia, Ylang Ylang, Anise Myrtle.
FLOURISH - A clean floral citrus blend to evoke a sense of inner freedom, personal growth and self-reclamation. Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil, with pure essential oils of Fragonia, Peppermint.
Each roller contains 10mls blended oils, measuring approx 85mm x 25mm (approx 3" x 1"). Perfect for popping in your bag, desk, or bedside table!
Children's roller blend - $23 (adjusted to child-safe quantity, suitable for ages 4-14). Please leave a note at the check-out stating 'children's blend' so I can customise the strength appropriately.
Currently available in Australia only, international shipping not available at this stage.
** Please note that these essential oil roller blends are designed to soak into the skin and body, rather than sit 'on top' of the skin, like perfumes. If you love to wear them for their beautiful scent like I do, simply reapply as necessary! These blends do not in any way replace professional therapy or medical health products and should be used for personal enjoyment purposes only.

Q: Does using Dispatcher.Invoke/BeginInvoke inherently provide mutually exclusive access to a section of code? I have a function similar to the following:
public void Increment()
{
    if (Count == 0)
    {
        AttachResource();
    }

    Count++;
}

Changes to my code mean that this function will be called from multiple threads. Due to the nature of AttachResource(), this function must be run on the main thread.
Assume I modify the function to be as follows:
public void Increment()
{
    _dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() =>
    {
        if (Count == 0)
        {
            AttachResource();
        }

        Count++;
    }));
}

Do I need to also add a lock to this code to ensure mutually exclusive access by threads? Or will the call through the dispatcher naturally accomplish this by serializing multiple calls onto the main thread?

A: Your examples will prevent AttachResource from being called more than once unless something else resets Count.
Other than that, assuming Dispatcher is the UI's dispatcher instance (e.g. Application.Current.Dispatcher), then only the UI thread will invoke AttachResource from this code path.

July 30, 2021 July 23, 2021 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert UpdateClassification, Classified Ads, James Taylor, South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal
South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal (July 30, 1771).
"Carries on the BOOK-BINDING and STATIONARY BUSINESS, in all its Branches."
The term "classified ads" accurately describes newspaper notices published in later periods, but it misrepresents advertising in eighteenth-century newspapers. Printers did not "classify" advertisements in the sense of assigning them to categories and then grouping or organizing them to make it easier for readers to navigate their contents. Instead, advertisements appeared as a hodgepodge fashion, requiring more careful reading to discern their purposes.
Consider, for example, advertisements about enslaved people. Printers could have readily identified four categories or classifications: enslaved people for sale, enslaved people wanted to purchase or to hire, "runaways" who liberated themselves, and captured fugitives seeking freedom held in workhouse and jails. Printers did not cluster such advertisements together on the pages of their newspapers. Consider the July 30, 1771, edition of the South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal. It included three advertisements offering rewards for the capture and return of enslaved people who liberated themselves. One ran near the top of the third column on the third page, another at the top of the second column on the last page, and the final one at the bottom of that column. Two "Brought to the WORK-HOUSE" advertisements describing Black men also appeared in that issue, one at the bottom of the third column on the third page and the other in the middle of the third column on the last page. The printer made no effort to classify these advertisements and place them in close proximity.
In some cases, it would have been practically impossible to classify advertisements because advertisers often placed notices with multiple purposes in mind. When Mary Gordon, "Administratrix to the Estate of Mr. James Gordon," departed South Carolina "for the Benefit of her Health," she appointed James Taylor to overseer the estate. Taylor placed an advertisement to that effect, calling on anyone with outstanding accounts to settle them. Taylor also used the opportunity to promote his own business, inserting a note that he "carries on the BOOK-BINDING and STATIONARY BUSINESS, in all its Branches, almost opposite the State-House." While this advertisement could have been considered an estate notice based on its primary purpose, it also aimed to attract customers for a business unrelated to the estate. In that regard, it defied classification.
Although it may seem reasonable to describe advertisements in eighteenth-century newspapers as "classified ads," at least initially, further examination reveals that doing so amounts to a mischaracterization of the contents and organization of those newspapers. It also writes the history of newspaper advertising backwards, grafting later developments onto the early American press.

Twilight, #1 of 4
Book: Twilight, #1 of 4
Series: Twilight
Author: Stephanie Meyer
Publisher and Publication Date: Little Brown and Company Paperback, 09/06/06
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy
My Review in a Nutshell:
I almost feel ridiculous for writing this review, but it has to be done. It is a good book, great actually. Are there better out there? Of course. But there is NO SHAME in enjoying Twilight. Meyers started a paranormal fandom with movies to boot, and from my personal observation, had "non-readers" reading again. Can't knock that, can you?
Oh, Baby Jesus, you know the story. Bella moves to a small dreary town. Bella meets the mysterious Edward, making the town seem not so dreary. But Edward has a secret, OH MY!
My Thoughts?
Is Edward creepy? Yes indeedy. Do I give a damn? Nope. Can Bella be whiny? Yep. Do I give a damn? Nope. Are there holes in the plot and irrational moments of wtf? darn tootin. But ask me if I give a damn. I enjoyed this book, I devoured it in a matter of days. I'm a pushover for dark-romance and heroic men. Like I said, no shame! There's plenty of romantic scenes that will make you swoon, and just enough action and high stakes to keep you intrigued.
ADVICE FOR NEW READERS: Imagine Robert Pattinson, but do not imagine Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. In an interview that I CAN NOT FREAKING FIND, Pattinson said he purposely made his face look as though he is constipated, which he did quite successfully, I might add. You just have to read it, it's one of those "rites of passage" type things. One day, when we are all old ladies, we will look back and chuckle about Twilight, you don't want to be excluded, do you?
My Favorite Quotes:
"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."
"I decided as long as I'm going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly."

BeNative Business English Completes $3M Investment Round
SMATOOS continues its international expansion into the
business education markets of China, Japan, and Taiwan.
SEOUL, South Korea—March 23, 2015--SMATOOS Inc. today announced it had raised nearly $3 million USD (3 billion Korean won) in the latest round of investments for its BeNative business English learning service. The service, which centers on video samples featuring entrepreneurs from the U.S., provides web-based learning tools using materials developed through unique data mining techniques.
The latest round of investments come from Korea Investment Partners, Mirae Asset Venture Investment, and Partners Investment, and will allow SMATOOS to continue its international expansion into China, Japan, and Taiwan. In total, SMATOOS has now raised approximately $6 million USD (6 billion Korean won) from Series A and B rounds. Of note is that investors who had previously invested into CEO Alan Moonsoo Kim's previous company, ETOOS, re-invested in SMATOOS. Kim said, "It is quite meaningful that many of the venture capitalists who invested in ETOOS have once again invested in SMATOOS." ETOOS was sold for nearly $30 million USD to SK Communications, one of the largest companies in South Korea.
Earlier this year, BeNative entered into contract with Benefit One, the largest e-commerce business in Japan, along with several other clients such as Samsung, LG, and Sony. In addition, the service is being provided as course credit to local universities.
BeNative features CEOs, executives, and managers from companies such as Box, Dreamworks Animation, Lift Labs (recently acquired by Google), Roku, and NestGSV, a venture accelerator sponsored by Stanford University. Using authentic videos of professionals and unscripted footage of checking into hotels, small talk in the office, and other scenarios, BeNative is able to provide premium-quality educational content.
About SMATOOS
SMATOOS is a global educational technology company with current branches in Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. It was named one of the Top 100 Global private companies of 2014 by Red Herring, and was recently nominated as one of 2015's top innovative companies by the Edison Awards. SMATOOS is in current plans to also develop the same BeNative service for learning Chinese and Spanish.

Essay Formats There are a few things in life that are a given. We all have to pay taxes and we are all going to die. These are given facts. Another thing in life that is a given is if you choose to go to the university, you are going to have to write masses amounts of essays over the four years of higher education. It is imperative that a student begin to familiarize himself the rules of writing and the different essay formats available for writing these essays. Depending on the field of study there will be different essay formats to follow.
There are a number of formats from which to choose.
Depending on the essay format assigned, for instance MLA (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychological Association), Chicago, Harvard or Turabian, it is expected that the student follow the formats exactly as assigned. Each of these formats are normally used in a different discipline in most universities. Humanities and liberal arts generally stays with the MLA format where social sciences lean toward the APA format.
The purpose of having a standard format is to give each and every essay structure. University professors demand that specific instructions be followed. It is very important that when using another person's idea or quoting something they have said that it be referenced as a resource and give credit in an essay. Not only will you find a reference in the body of the essay but it is imperative it be listed in a bibliography or works cited page.
Below there are different essay formats professors will ask for when citing the work of others in the essay itself.
Harvard - known as the author - date system. In the body of the essay, when citing an author, use quotes for the direct work and at the end, in parenthesis place the author's name, comma, year of publication and the page number from which it was found.
APA - uses the author - date system as well. Used primarily for science, health and human studies.
MLA - After placing the work cited in quotations, follow it with parenthesis containing the author's name, space and the page number of the resource material for in text citations.
The main reason for making certain that anything that is cited from another source is given full credit is so that plagiarism never comes into play. It doesn't matter that someone else thought of an idea and the essayist used it to reinforce the idea being made in the essay, but the idea or direct quote from another author must always be recognized by using the appropriate essay format each and every time.
