How to get rid of Cockroaches

Recently my home was infested with German cockroaches. Hundreds of cockroaches from 2 to 15 mm in size were seen roaming around in the kitchen freely @ night. I never saw that types before and searched on the internet to check their type, and found out that those were German cockroaches.

Banksy just made two incredible new murals in London

In honour of American street artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy has unveiled two new murals near London’s Barbican Centre, an area known to be graffiti-free (or at least now it used to be).

The elusive artist’s works were spotted in a tunnel close to the city’s biggest performing arts venue. Both mark the opening of an exhibition dedicated to Basquiat, who died at age 27 in 1988 from a suspected drug overdose.

In an Instagram post, Banksy confirmed that the murals are his, and that the pieces are part of an “(unofficial) collaboration” between the two artists.

His first post features a Ferris wheel with Baquiat’s trademark crowns adorning it. The caption reads: “Major new Basquiat show opens at the Barbican – a place that is normally very keen to clean any graffiti from its walls.”

The second post shows an artwork inspired by Basquiat’s 1982 work Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump. The caption reads: “Portrait of Basquiat being welcomed by the Metropolitan Police – an (unofficial) collaboration with the new Basquiat show.”

The exhibition, which comes nearly 30 years since Basquiat passed away, will have more than 100 works from different creatives. The event, taking place from September 21, will be the biggest ever UK celebration on the artist.

Skoda Superb

Superb (adjective). Of excellent quality; very great. splendid, grand.

    You’ve got to be pretty confident if you’re going put a badge on the boot-lid of one of your cars saying that, even if it is your range-topper, but, that’s what Skoda have done, and it’s not the first time either. In the 1930’s even when Skoda were a renowned luxury motor-maker calling one its products The Superb was a still pretty bold thing to do. Can you imagine the jokes if Czech manufacturer had have used the same moniker when they we’re behind the Iron Curtain? Perhaps we’ll let that one pass.

  The car you see here is the third incarnation of the Superb, the Mk3 if you will, since Skoda became part of the VW Empire, and…

    That’s just background stuff.  Let’s cut to the chase. The question that needs answering is: Is the Skoda Superb actually Superb?

   Well, it’s certainly grand, by which I mean big. It’s very big in fact, wider, longer and taller than the slightly ungainly second generation car it replaces and yet its styling is rather neat. You’d never call the Superb beautiful or truly desirable even when it’s been treated to the full optional extras selection – if I’m honest the Superb Skoda lent me was a tad sober looks-wise – but it is handsome in its own way, and well-proportioned too. It’s also, despite what those looks suggest, a hatchback rather than a saloon and an even bigger estate version is also available.

   Its boot is huge too. Cavernous you could call it. With the seats up it offers 635litres of space – it’ll easily cope with a family’s holiday cases – or, fold the split rear bench down using two levers in the boot and that increases to 1,760-litres, that’s about the same as a Knightsbridge flat. Also, the enormous rear hatch can be opened electronically, either from the key or by waving your foot under the rear bumper, although I should point out that’s an option.

    Further forward five six-footers could easily sprawl out and there’d still be room to spare. VW regulars will probably recognise most of the switchgear from the Passat, - no bad thing - and they’ll might also notice that all the plastics are soft to the touch. As expected both fit and finish are up to the usual bomb-proof VW Group standards and being a Skoda there’s plenty of standard kit to be discovered. All Superbs get a DAB radio, air-con and Bluetooth whilst “my” SE Spec also benefitted from the addition of dual-zone climate, parking sensors, a touchscreen sat-nav system, adaptive cruise control and privacy blinds on the rear windows. Other things worthy of note are an umbrella stored Rolls Royce style in both the driver’s and the front passenger armrests, a removable LED torch in the boot, an ice scraper stored on the fuel filler flap, a grippy cupholder that enables you to unscrew bottle tops with one hand and an iPad cradle in the cubby between the front seats. The devil as they say is certainly in the detail.

    Attention too has been applied to the way in which Skoda’s latest super-saloon drives. As a means of covering large distances few can better in fact, especially when you consider its asking price - Superbs start at £18,640.  The set-up is one of comfort rather than sporting prowess and you can drive the Superb all day (I know, I did) and still feel fresh at the end of your journey. Supportive front seats and a well-insulated and thus very quiet interior also add to the Superb’s relaxed and cosseting feel.

   Most buyers, Skoda predict, will plump for the 148bhp diesel (even after parent VW’s recent misdemeanours I’d still recommend it), which proves both smooth and strong, and even if you’ll never match the claimed fuel consumption figures in the real world you should still be able to attain high 50’s mpg without ever having to resort to driving as if Miss Daisy were aboard. Should you need it to the Superb also is more than capable of showing slower traffic a clean pair of heels. The light and direct steering allows you to place the car with confidence and the 6-speed gearbox has a smooth action – although perhaps the DSG auto might suit the Superb’s nature even more. Visibility is good in all directions too, so the Superb never actually feels as big as it is, but you will be glad of the parking sensors when the time comes to park it.

     Hugely capacious, extremely comfortable, economical, handsome, good to drive and complete with a seven air-bags and 5-Star Euro NCAP rating too. That’s very impressive stuff. At this stage you might well be expecting me to say something along the lines of: The Skoda Superb, it really is.

Well I’m not going to, but I will concede that the Superb is very, very good.

Engine: 1,968 cc, 4Cyl, high pressure direct injection turbo-diesel

Transmission: 6 speed Manual. Front Wheel Drive

MBA students take first place at entrepreneurship week

Loyola press release - March 29, 2010

Six Loyola University New Orleans College of Business MBA students helped spur a joint New Orleans MBA team to victory against several top-rated business schools in the New Orleans Entrepreneur Week Idea Corps Challenge on March 27. The competition capped off a week of activities aimed at incubating business development in New Orleans and beyond.

MBA students Brian Danos, RaShaud Haines, Michael Pitre, Barrow Reedy, Kelly Spears and Christynn Vierra joined forces with students from University of New Orleans’ and Tulane University’s business schools to match a team from Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management in a tie for first place. The New Orleans contingent defeated teams from a variety of schools, including Berkeley, Northwestern and Stanford Universities and the University of Chicago. Brett Matherne, Ph.D., Loyola’s Chase Minority Entrepreneurship Distinguished Professor, advised the team.

The team was tasked with providing business strategy and consulting services to Jack and Jakes Local and Organic, which is launching a community supported agricultural market group.

For their efforts, the winners were whisked from the competition to James Carville’s home for the closing celebration, where the two winning MBA team leaders gave brief presentations before a private performance by Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Irvin Mayfield.

Team member Christynn Vierra said Loyola's collaboration with UNO and Tulane represents more than just success in this competition.

"We feel the universities provide an abundance of resources and that Idea Village has shown us how uniting the universities' resources is a key component to rebuild New Orleans," Vierra said. "We hope that this year's winning team of a mixed local MBA team will serve as a model in the years to come."

Hosted by the Idea Village, a New Orleans nonprofit that identifies, supports and retains entrepreneurial talent in the city, Entrepreneur Week gathered cutting-edge investors and business leaders, corporate volunteers and 90 MBA students from across the United States to support more than 75 early-stage New Orleans business ventures and focus on emerging business opportunities. The Idea Village partnered with Google, the New Orleans Saints, the Downtown Development District and the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and other sponsors to host a series of activities for participants.

Students also attended presentations from high-profile speakers including Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan educational and policy studies institute in Washington, D.C.; Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team; Jim Coulter, CEO of TPG Capital, a global private investment firm; and retired Army General Wesley Clark. Google, Cisco, Salesorce.com, Deloitte and Touche, LLP and Arent Fox volunteers led workshops and tutorials for participants, and the Aspen Institute hosted a leadership seminar.

Twenty Random Thoughts #030615: Maybe it's just about appreciating the small things

1. Life is where you open up your social media every day and see how tons of other people have a better life than yours. That person who is constantly on a trip, the news about the 20-year old who is earning millions and that douchey friend of friend of yours who got featured on TV. There are tons of comparisons out there.

2. Meanwhile you're just caught in the average life of yours, barely trying to scrape by. Your bank account hits zero at the end of the month while your loan stays forever the same.

3. I know all the talk about how we should not measure our life by how high we have climbed but rather the flowers that we have smelled along the way.

4. To me, that kind of talk always sounded defeatist. Like what people who cannot accomplish much would say to console themselves.

5. I know the importance of appreciating what we have instead of fantasizing about what we don't, but the problem is that we humans are not made that way. We are not designed to just be content with what we have. We were given the ability to dream big and the motivation to achieve the impossible as well.

6. It is our drive to constantly reach higher that propelled our species forward. It was those who dared to dream big that advanced our society, not those who were content just smelling flowers.

7. It is the exact same reason why those who made big achievements were celebrated and glorified, not those who smelled the flowers. Songs, movies, books and anything entertainment that we consume all have the same message: The only way to have an awesome life is to do something big.

8. Now, not all would want a life of glory and a significant amount of us are just happy with being average, away from the limelight.

9. Besides, we all have different abilities. To reach the top and to achieve a significant amount of change would require an incredible amount of talent and abilities. Which may be why we celebrate those who eventually do it.

10. The problem then occurs when you're given this motivation and dream to do big things and to change the world, but without the necessary skills and talents to accompany it.

11. To make it big, we all need an area of niche. An exceptional skill that makes us better than the majority of people around us. Only then can we stand out from the crowd. To be appreciated. It could be our speaking ability. Our affinity for science. Anything that makes us better.

12. When you don't have that, when most of the skills you have cluster around the average level, it's much harder to break away from the curve that is at the middle.

13. Your pay will be average and your worth will be around the same as well. Sad, isn't it? How our human worth is judged by the amount we're earning?

14. But I guess this is all depressing talk. If you really want to look at it from a pure practical sense, it is very hard to live on when your life is far from your ideal.

15. Which is why most of us switch our ideals, adjust our expectations. Perhaps this is what they call the cynism of old age.

16. While we wanted to change the world and be the top when we're young, we gradually realize that not everyone can be number one, and we slowly adjust our expectations to a lower level. To fit the grim reality.

17. Still we can choose to be happy with what we have. To just play the cards that we're given to the best of our ability.

18. Sure, smelling flowers may not amount to much, but they're still fragrant nonetheless. It's how we make do with it. Be it a simple picnic, picking up a new skills or travelling around the world with Jetstar promotions, we have to make do.

19. Why such an emo post? Maybe because my life now is what my 16 year old would absolutely hate but there's just no option to turn back time. And even if we did, I am sure that things would not change much.

20. Maybe a good sleep would change things.

He always wants to write but he always fails to write. What he never fails to do, however, is to complain about how he always fails to write. If only he could beat his the hell out of his procrastination. Which on second thought may not be an easy task, because judging from how difficult it is for him to usually get started on work, his procrastination may very well be a 10-storey high monster. Which means he has to enlist the help of either Ultraman or Power Rangers.

Or Gundam, which sounds and looks way much cooler. Writing in third person, is also surprisingly cool too. Though not anywhere near the Gundam. Him piloting the big ass robot, now that's epic.

What is this post trying to say anyway? It could be a post disguised as an advertorial for Gundam, or it could be a post that is supposed to make you think that it is an advertorial in disguise. That you have to figure out yourself.

And this blog has just taken a complete LSD random turn.

A Retrospect of the Shakespeare and Our Times Conference

A Retrospect of the Shakespeare and Our Times Conference
Terrod Dillard
Contributing Writer

Shakespeare changed the world in remarkable ways, and continues his impact even hundreds of years after his death. He has left in his wake an establishment of masterpieces that rank highest in the literary canon. His writings in comedy and tragedy are universally acclaimed and have everlastingly influenced our society.

To celebrate his legacy and honor his works, Old Dominion University hosted Shakespeare 400 Years After: A Public Event, a week-long fair honoring Shakespearean tradition. Artistic exhibitions of dance, music, intuitive film, a magisterial plenary and performances of classics such as “Hamlet,” “Macbeth,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Titus Andronicus,” among other events, were held to remember the late 15th century Elizabethan playwright.

The festivities included a conference on how Shakespeare still affects our modern society. Topics were foreign relations, racism, sex and love. The conference took place in the middle of the festival, which lasted from April 13-20.

To show how Shakespeare is still relevant, an all-star class of accomplished lecturers, professors and doctorates assembled to discuss their theses on modern topics incorporating Shakespearean works. The scholars travelled from all across America as well as from renowned schools in Egypt, Great Britain, China and India.

The conference was split into panels discoursing on topics such as Shakespeare and gender and Shakespeare and early America, for example. Three to four speakers would present their dissertations which were thematically linked, followed by discussion.

The presentations were neither ordinary nor boring. They were linked to contemporary problems and popular culture in pragmatic ways, while remaining academically professional. For instance, Alyssa Wynans from Belmont University in Tennessee discussed how early acceptance of LGBT sexuality is prevalent in Shakespearean works. Wynans demonstrated this through the humorous, creative blogs of today’s Tumblr users.

Whether it was a specific interest such as comical Shakespeare references in modern film or a more serious analysis of Elizabethan racism, the conference had something for everyone. Each scholar provided a different experience with their presentations by incorporating their own anecdotes and personalities within their discussion.

The panels each lasted for an hour and 15 minutes—not too short to be vapid and not too long to be monotonous. Each presenter was allotted 20 minutes, and the final 15 minutes were left for questions and closing remarks.

The goal of the event, as outlined on the website, was to address, “What does Shakespeare mean to us today, and what traces of his thinking can still be seen in our lives?” There was no right or wrong answer to this question. In fact, answers seem to conflict one another, which was part of the conference’s intellectual charm. Much insight and interpretation was offered by the diverse cast. Some views were uniquely personal to the individual, while others coincided with the ideals of society at large.

The conference took literature often considered pristine and prestigious, and brought it to a relatable level, which the average person today can identify. What Shakespeare means to us today largely depends on the character of his readers. For each person, there is different meaning, and the value is inherently intrinsic.

Though the Shakespeare and Our Times Conference has ended, the lasting imprints of its discourse remain. To see what was discussed in the panels, information on the presenters and their topics can be found here.

LANSING, Mich. — State legislators are considering increasing the number of count days to better allocate per-pupil state aid, according to MLive. Count days determine a school’s enrollment for the year, which in turn determines how much financial aid a district will receive from the state.

Currently, the state has just two count days during the school year and official enrollment figures are based 90 percent on the October headcount day and 10 percent on the count day in February. According to MLive, school leaders are concerned that increased student mobility means some schools aren’t receiving the funds they need for students who move after October while lawmakers are concerned the state is paying for hundreds of students who are no longer in a district.

MLive reports that Thomas Howell, director of the state’s Center for Educational Performance and Information, told the House Appropriations Committee that about 35,000 students change districts after the fall count, which represents about 2.2 percent of statewide enrollment.

Chairman Bill Rogers, R-Brighton, thinks increasing the frequency of count days would not represent too large a burden to schools as they already have the technology to perform additional count days, according to MLive.

“When you visit a class, it seems the first thing you see a teacher do at the start of each class period is punch attendance numbers into a computer,” he said. “That information has to go somewhere.”

But school administrators objected, saying that those headcounts were simply to ensure they knew if the district was missing any children just for that day. According to MLive, count day data is collected separately and must be audited by an outside authority.

MLive, “Michigan House committee asks whether more frequent student headcounts would lead to fairer funding,” March 6, 2012

$500,000 Retirement Nest Eggs Likely Under Teacher Pension Alternative

Like the current system, new one intended as a hefty supplement to Social Security

How deep in debt is Michigan’s public school pension system? For every dollar paid to a public school teacher, districts must deposit another 37 cents into the state-run system, mostly to catch up on the accumulated debt caused by years of pension underfunding.

Legislative leaders say it’s time to close the system and instead give new hires substantial contributions to their own retirement account or annuity. Mackinac Center analyst James Hohman ran the numbers on what their proposed alternative would mean for a new school employee who works for 30 years at an average district.

All new employees would automatically see an employer contribution of 4 percent of their salary going into a retirement savings account. The state would kick in up to 3 percent more to match employee contributions.

If money in an employee’s account were invested in a conservative, low fee target-date retirement fund that earned an average annual long-term return of 7 percent, today’s new hires would have $514,184 after 30 years. There are no guarantees, but since 1970 the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has returned an average compound yield of 10.3 percent, so this is not an unreasonable expectation.

Still, not every teacher may want this market exposure, and for those who don’t there would be another option: contributions to a self-funded annuity. The details aren’t finalized, but this would provide a guaranteed lifetime income stream (and like the current pension system, nothing for heirs).

Like the current defined benefit school pension system, the proposed alternative is intended to work with Social Security benefits to replace a good portion of a worker’s preretirement income. Unlike the status quo system, new employees would get to keep half the employer contributions after two years, and all of it after four years.

Under the current system, teachers who leave with less than 10 years of service get no pension and none of the employer contributions made on their behalf. That represents a full 56.6 percent of all Michigan public school teachers, according to a 2014 report.

LOS ANGELES — Steve Blake scored 24 points, Pau Gasol added his seventh career triple-double, and the Los Angeles Lakers secured the seventh playoff seed in the Western Conference with a 99-95 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

LOS ANGELES — Steve Blake scored 24 points, Pau Gasol added his seventh career triple-double, and the Los Angeles Lakers secured the seventh playoff seed in the Western Conference with a 99-95 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

Dwight Howard had 16 points and 18 rebounds, and the All-Star center blocked James Harden's shot in the final seconds of overtime for the Lakers, who only clinched a playoff berth about 10 minutes before tipoff in their season finale.

After winning once more without Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, Los Angeles will face second-seeded San Antonio in the first round.

Chandler Parsons hit a tying 3-pointer from three steps behind the line at the regulation buzzer for the Rockets, who will face top-seeded Oklahoma City after losing four of six to end the regular season.

Grizzlies 86, Jazz 70

At Memphis, Tenn., Zach Randolph had 25 points and 19 rebounds and Memphis ended Utah's playoff hopes.

The Grizzlies' victory meant the Los Angeles Lakers were assured of making the playoffs even before their late game against the Houston Rockets.

Mike Conley finished with 14 points for Memphis, which won its second straight and fifth in the past six. Darrell Arthur finished with 11 points for the Grizzlies, who took the West's fifth seed and will facec the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.

Bulls 95, Wizards 92

At Chicago, Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 15 rebounds to help the Bulls clinch the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a win over the Wizards in the regular-season finale.

Kirk Hinrich added 18 points and Nazr Mohammed had a season-high 17 for the Bulls, who will face the Brooklyn Nets in the opening round of the playoffs.

Heat 105, Magic 93

At Miami, Dwyane Wade scored 21 points and handed out 10 assists, Mike Miller added 21 points and the Miami Heat wrapped up the regular season with a win over the Magic.

The Heat (66-16) became the 14th team in NBA history to finish with a winning percentage over .800, and did so with LeBron James away from the team for the day while tending to a personal matter.

Orlando finished with the NBA's worst record, 20-62.

Knicks 98, Hawks 92

At New York, Carmelo Anthony won the scoring title without playing, and the Atlanta Hawks lost their chance to move up in the East standings.

Chris Copeland scored 33 points on a night that belonged to the benches, and the Knicks wrapped up their winningest season in 16 years by beating the Hawks.

With Anthony and just about every important player on either side sitting, the Knicks finished 54-28, their most victories since going 57-25 in 1996-97.

Nets 103, Pistons 99

At New York, Brook Lopez scored 20 points and reserve Andray Blatche added 15 as the playoff-bound Nets held off the Pistons.

Kris Humphries had 11 points and Joe Johnson added 10 for Brooklyn, winners of two straight. The Nets wrapped up their first regular season after leaving New Jersey and will open their first playoff series in six years at home against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

Timberwolves 108, Spurs 95

At San Antonio, Derrick Williams had 21 points to help the Timberwolves beat the Spurs, ending a 16-game losing streak at San Antonio.

Chase Budinger added 15 points and Greg Stiemsma and Ricky Rubio had 12 points apiece for Minnesota, won on the Spurs' home court for the first time since Jan. 14, 2004.

Gary Neal had 17 points, Tim Duncan had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Tony Parker had 15 points and eight assists for the Spurs, who had previously clinched the Western Conference's second seed.

Raptors 114, Celtics 90

At Toronto, DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Rudy Gay had 19 points and nine rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors routed the Boston Celtics, finishing their season with five straight wins.

Jonas Valanciunas scored 18 points, Alan Anderson had 16 and Kyle Lowry had nine points and eight assists as the Raptors matched their longest winning streak of the season.

Jordan Crawford scored 16 points, Terrence Williams had 12 and Avery Bradley 11 for the Celtics, who played for the first time since Monday's bomb attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Players from both teams gathered at midcourt before tip-off to observe a moment of silence.

Bucks 95, Thunder 89

At Oklahoma City, rookie John Henson scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, Brandon Jennings had 17 points and the Bucks beat the Thunder in a regular-season finale lacking any postseason implications.

Needing to score 70 points to surpass New York's Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant conceded the NBA scoring title and joined starting center Kendrick Perkins and key reserves Kevin Martin and Nick Collison in suits on the Thunder bench.

Mavericks 99, Hornets 87

At Dallas, Darren Collison scored 25 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 16 and the Dallas Mavericks finished their worst season in 13 years on a winning note, beating New Orleans in its final game as the Hornets.

The Mavericks (41-41) avoided their first losing record since going 40-42 in 1999-2000 — also the last time they missed the playoffs.

Bobcats 105, Cavaliers 98

At Charlotte, N.C., Kemba Walker had 24 points and seven assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers to avoid finishing in the NBA cellar for a second consecutive season.

The Bobcats (21-61) finished one game ahead of the Orlando Magic, who lost their season finale to the Miami Heat.

76ers 105, Pacers 95

At Indianapolis, Dorell Wright scored 23 points and Evan Turner added 16, leading Philadelphia to a victory over short-handed Indiana in what was likely Doug Collins' final game as the 76ers coach.

The organization has already scheduled morning news conferences with the managing owner and Collins, who spent almost the entire game glued to his seat and spoke mostly with a hand covering his mouth.

Philadelphia (34-48) finished the season by winning three of its final four games but still out of the playoffs.

Nuggets 118, Suns 98

At Denver, the Denver Nuggets secured the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs by routing the Suns behind 21 points from Wilson Chandler and 20 from Andre Iguodala.

They will face sixth-seeded Golden State in the first round, opening at home — where they've won a franchise-best 23 straight games to finish with the league's best home mark at 38-3, eclipsing the old record of 36-5 set in 1976-77, their first year in the NBA.

Clippers 112, Kings 108

At Sacramento, Calif., Jamal Crawford scored 24 points, including several big shots down the stretch, and the Clippers locked up the No. 4 seed in the West and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Chris Paul had 25 points and 11 assists for the Pacific Division champion Clippers (56-26), who will open against fifth-seeded Memphis (56-26) in Los Angeles. The Clippers won three of four games against the Grizzlies this season.

Update #67

Dear backers,

In March we went through difficult times, the team size was reduced to only a core team since January, as consequence of the still ongoing negotiations with our publisher about the remaining funding. We have been working on securing more fundings since the end of 2016. It is still a work in progress and we will follow up with you in upcoming developer's updates when we have managed to close a deal.

Despite having a smaller team, we have focused our efforts on improving the space combat.

Update #66

Greetings everyone,

YES - signs of life were detected.

Perihelion Interactive wishes you a belated happy 2017 and the strength to make your New Year's resolutions come true!

We are very sorry for the long period of silence. We have used that time well to focus solely on development. We can now finally present what we have been working on behind the curtains for the past two months: Space Combat!
After finishing our playable prototype of an earlier iteration of Space Combat, we came to the conclusion that it lacked the “fun” factor. Instead of releasing a playable, but unfun version of the game, we decided to rework the aspects that were not satisfactory and make improvements.

Part of our design process has been to seek inspiration from the community. The feedback all of you have provided over the last number of updates has proven invaluable to the Space Combat Team. Some of you suggested a real-time with pause function rather than the turn-based approach we had initially outlined. We’ve taken that feedback on board and gone a step further by making the pause function an active feature of gameplay.

The Mandate: Dev Talk

We had Amelie (User Experience Researcher and Writer) and Greg (3D Environment Artist) sit down to talk about The Mandate! They're going to tell you about how the art and the story influence each other in creating the universe of The Mandate! They also give a sneak peak at some of the newest features that the team has been working on.

Producer's Letter #2

Community Update

Hi guys,

about two weeks ago was Gamescom and it was super nice meeting some of you. Unfortunately, I was still busy during the afternoon but I really want to thank Mr. Seeker for his commitment and his engagement in the community – he took the time to meet Josef and Iain at Gamescom. In the evening we had a nice dinner with some more members, which we really enjoyed (despite some hard questions). Thank you for coming and thank you for the good conversations :)

Community Drop: Game Vision

Community Update

Hello all!

In the last update, we promised that we would share our plans for Early Access and the vision for the game with you. If you already saw that update, you’ll know that we talked about some changes in the scope of the game and a new focus for the initial release. We’ve had to take some tough decisions and we’ve taken a hard look at what we pitched, what you wanted and what we can deliver.

Developer Spotlight - IainC

Developer Update

 Hello everyone! My nam is Iain and I’m the Design Director for The Mandate. I joined the project back in May - you might remember that Michael mentioned some new people in his last producer’s letter - and I’m very excited to help bring this fantastic universe to life.

I don’t think free tablet computers will get people to subscribe to your newspaper

But who am I to say?

Eager to hop on the tablet trend, the publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News plans to sell discounted Android tablets with preloaded content.

Initially, the tablets will be loaded with the Philly.com app, as well as digital versions of the two newspapers, which now cost $2.99 per week.

How To Increase Your Website/Blog Traffic

How to Increase Website/Blog Traffic is a concern for many online marketers. As an artist my objective is always to generate traffic to my oil paintings. Many people spend a great amount of money trying to launch their website through strong advertising campaigns; however, a lack of funds shouldn’t be a setback as there are many ways to get traffic without spending a dime.

Steps for increasing your website/blog:

1) Optimize your website to be search-engine friendly. Submit it to various search engines and directories. In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and MSN, it’s worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well.

2) Make sure your title, description head, and header html tags accurately convey the subject of your site; search engine algorithms use these as keywords to categorize your site and direct relevant traffic.

3) Spread the word about your art, your craft, your business, your affiliate program by submitting it to affiliate program directories and contacting the owners of related websites.

4) Create a links page that will contain the links to other non-competing websites in the same industry. Contact the owners of other websites with your proposal to exchange links. You will add their link to your links page, and they will link to your website in return.

5) Post in forums. Visit the online discussion forums where people in your target market like to gather. Post useful responses to people’s questions, and include a link to your website at the end of your post next to your name. Although you ultimately want to get your sig file with the link to your site seen as often as possible, don’t overdo it with your posts, otherwise other forum creators won’t respect you, and therefore won’t visit your site.

6) Comment on blogs. Visit other people’s blogs on the topic related to your website. Most blogs allow you to add comments about the issues being discussed. Add insightful comments about the blog topics, and leave your website link. Your comment and your link will permanently remain on the blog website.

7) Create an e-mail “signature” – your name, your website address and a short tag-line describing the main benefit of your site. Set your e-mail program to automatically add your signature to every e-mail that you send.

8) Look into traffic exchanges. There are many types of traffic exchanges but the idea is the same – you team up with other webmasters, and they send you traffic in exchange for you sending them traffic. Search the web for “traffic exchange” to find those services.

Blog_Image_-_Traffic_Exchange9) Create something of value that people will pass around. It can be a report with useful information that you allow people to give away. It can also be some kind of cool and unusual web-page that people will want to e-mail to all their friends. Of course, the pass-around item will include your advertisement and your link, spreading the word about your website. This is a “viral” strategy.

10) Write articles on the topic related to your website, and include a link to your site in your author bio. Submit your articles to article directories, and allow people to publish your article in their newsletters and websites. Your articles will spread around the web like wildfire. People will read them and visit your website. The best part is that people who read your articles will regard you as an expert, and they will be much more likely to buy from you when they go to your website. How’s that for a free publicity?

Blog_Image_-_Write_Articles11) Use accurate keywords for your content. The point of keywords is that they are the terms most people looking for your article by topic will search by. Check those with free Google terms and use the most popular relevant one in your title – a descriptive title to let them know right away what it is if it’s a word with multiple meanings. Drawing blood for a phlebotomy is not the same thing as a comics artist drawing blood in a fight scene. Be very literal and then use the exact keywords several times in the article where they are relevant, as well as synonyms. Don’t overdo it, or you look like you’re trying to spam Google. Just use the keywords naturally when describing the topic.

If it is a confusing keyword phrase like Drawing Blood, link to the other meaning and mention that in the first paragraph. “This article is about drawing blood in graphic novels. Phlebotomy is drawing blood for medical tests or donations – here’s the other page on “Drawing Blood.” Then link to the phlebotomy page in that. By redirecting confused people you leave them a good impression and they might stop to read your article if they also like doing comics art!

12) Start an e-zine for your web site. When people read each issue they’ll be reminded to revisit your web site. Submit it to all the free e-zine directories on the internet.A news letter!

13) Start your own online discussion community. It could be an online message board, e-mail discussion list or chat room. When people get involved in your community, they will regularly return to communicate with others.

Blog_Image_-_Chat14) Advertise your site at free classified ad sites. There are many of these on the net. Some of the more popular ones are craigslist, inetgiant, Backpage, usfreeads and gumtree.

Blog_Image_-_Craigslist15) Join free safe-lists. These are lists of subscribers who have opted-in to send and receive emails to each other. You can instantly reach potentially thousands of people by sending out emails, and you don’t have to worry about receiving spam complaints either because everyone on the list has opted-in to receive emails. You may go here to create your own “Virtual Secretary” Get Your Auto Responder Here

16) Getting a Facebook Fan Page could also increase your site traffic because hundreds of people will see it.

1_-_Success_Strategies_Fan_Page“LIKE” my Facebook Fan Page Here CLICK HERE NOW

17) Constantly update content on your web-page, so having a news section is a great deal for search engines especially.

1_-_Success_Strategies_Contents_18) Update your Facebook status to let your friends know every time you update your blog and create a Facebook fan page. Your friend’s friends will see when they join the fan page or comment on your status.

1_-_Success_Strategies_Fan_Page_Content19) Submit your website to top social bookmarking sites to create a back link to your website, social bookmarking websites will increase you page rank as well.

Blog_Image_-_Social_Media_Icons_Twitter_etc20) Sign up to yahoo answers and leave great helpful comments to questions people are asking for, leaving a link back to your site with more helpful tips on it.

Blog_Image_-_Yahoo_Answers21) Stay on topic. All this socializing, forum commenting and question answering ought to be on your website’s main topic. The more your activity and site content match in topic, the more likely the right people find it. The more targeted your affiliate links are to the topic, the better you’ll do with them too. People don’t mind advertising that’s on topic, it starts to look like a convenience directory rather than irritating commercials.

1) Steer clear of any advertising tactics that could be construed as spam.

2) Don’t try to use meta data with the keywords that has nothing to do with your content because Google will bring your rank down.

3) Beware of free advertising and traffic swapping. Choose who you advertise with carefully. Check out the site and do a Whois search on anyone that wants to site swap with you prior to agreeing to swap sites.

4) Keep all free ads directed to your business information while setting up an account on Craigslist or other free advertising site. If you decide to advertise for free on Craigslist, make sure your email settings are safe. Use your web site’s email at all times.

Set your advertising to target only the country(s) with whom you want to do business with when initially setting up your free account. Otherwise there is a high chance that you will be bombarded with mass amounts of spam of the worst kind. If you make the mistake of using your own personal contact information, including email address during set up of your account, you’ll likely receive all the usual spam from a Nigerian Prime Minister needing to transfer money (in order to try to extract your bank account information).

You may even receive a fake check in the mail for money. This can happen to anyone when listing a personal item for sale. The moral is: Do not post personal information for all to see on Craigslist and other free advertising venues. These same issues happen with traffic exchanges as well.

5) Be careful who you choose to exchange sites with. Be picky. It is your reputation on the line. The bottom line is to keep it all business when using free advertising and other site promotion options.

Alert Logic Proposes New Standard to Address Key Compliance Concerns in the Cloud

Working With Cloud Technology Leaders to Drive Adoption of CloudLog Open Standard

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) -  Alert Logic, the leading provider of log management, intrusion detection and cloud security solutions for enterprises and service providers, today announced it has proposed CloudLog as an informational RFC to the standards track of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). While public and private cloud environments are seeing significant growth, security and compliance concerns have been a barrier for broader adoption. As stated in the RFC with regard to current virtualized environments, "there is no guarantee that the same VM image will be running on the same hardware in its next reincarnation. And there is really no clear way to determine how many users share the hardware and what are their identities and roles." Answering these basic questions is foundational to achieving numerous compliance goals across many standards and mandates, including PCI DSS. The proposed CloudLog defines specifications for logging crucial information required to reliably answer these questions.

"Alert Logic has a long history of helping cloud and hosting service providers address the challenges of security and compliance," said Misha Govshteyn, VP of technology and service provider solutions at Alert Logic. "However, security vendors can't solve this problem alone. CloudLog is meant to provide a simple mechanism for everyone in the cloud technology stack to easily expose the required information in an easily consumable fashion to answer what has become a surprisingly complex question in cloud environments: who accessed which system and when?"

Though still in the proposal stage to the IETF, CloudLog is garnering support from numerous players in the cloud technology ecosystem, including Ed Laczynski of Datapipe, Dr. Rich Wolski of Eucalyptus Systems, Adam Greenfield of, John Eastman of Mezeo Software, and John Viega of Perimeter E-Security.

Supporters of CloudLog were quoted as saying:

"We look to industry leaders like Alert Logic to provide insight and subject matter expertise so we can stay focused on our service delivery," said Ed Laczynski of Datapipe, a leading provider of managed services and infrastructure for IT and cloud computing. "Driving this open-standard for cloud logging enables us to continue to deliver compliant solutions knowing the audit and identity logs are meaningful in our cloud environments."

"As cloud computing achieves widespread adoption, the need for auditing and introspection becomes critical, particularly in the enterprise," said Dr. Rich Wolski, CTO and co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems. "Private clouds will require the same levels of transparency that traditional data centers support today. A uniform and standardized way to log information will enable an ecosystem of solutions for addressing security, compliance, and performance tuning needs."

Saving Members Money on Prescriptions Through Generic Drug Utilization

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - January 11, 2011) - The DEA, supporting the New York City Police Department, is proactive in their approach to Health Care Benefits. Educating members and effectively communicating how to maintain quality prescription benefits while managing cost is a goal the DEA has achieved with the assistance of BeneCard PBF.

Michael J. Palladino, President of the DEA, said, "BeneCard has enabled the DEA to provide superb care to our members and at the same time maintain fiscal stability to our Health Benefits Funds during such challenging economic times."

In April 2010, on behalf of the DEA, BeneCard PBF produced clinical cost management letters to patients who were obtaining a brand name drug when there was a lower cost, therapeutically equivalent drug available.

This customized mailing reached 7,502 patients. The results, in less than 4 months, have been remarkable. As of July 31, 2010, DEA members have saved $90,907.63 in copays and the DEA Benefit Fund has saved $153,464.47 in prescription benefit costs. So far, there has been a conversion rate of 16.53% whereby patients have changed to a generic or lower cost, therapeutically equivalent product.

"BeneCard PBF is proud to be able to offer and assist the DEA in cost containment programs that educate the members, keep them healthy and manage costs," says Executive Vice President and General Manager, Michael Perry. "Our mission is to improve patient health by aligning the mutual interests of payers, pharmacies and providers," says Perry.

September 27, 2010 15:25 ET Stimulus Discount to Support the Small Business Jobs Bill Signed Into Law by President Obama

BoeFly Solves Systemic Problem That New Law Doesn't

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 27, 2010) -  BoeFly, the premier online marketplace connecting lenders with business borrowers, secondary market loan buyers and professional service providers, today announced a Stimulus Discount for small businesses seeking financing. The discount is intended to support the bill aimed at stimulating small business lending signed into law by President Obama earlier today.

BoeFly is immediately reducing the one-time membership fee that small businesses pay to post a financing request on the market-leading loan origination marketplace. The price is being dropped from $465 to $99, a more than 75% reduction.

"This Small Business Lending Bill brings much needed help to small businesses by temporarily eliminating borrower fees on SBA loans, allowing borrowers to refinance existing debt with low cost SBA 504 loans, and offering capital to community banks for as low as 1%, to name a few, " said Robert Tannenhauser, CEO of BoeFly. "But the law doesn't solve the systemic problem of borrowers efficiently finding a lender most interested in their unique business. Too often businesses go from bank to bank, wasting precious time and potentially negatively impacting their credit. BoeFly solves this problem with powerful matching technology so borrowers are presented to lenders most interested in pursuing a financing."

"I use BoeFly as an efficient and cost-effective way to connect with small businesses," said Jana Rouble, a vice president at Community South Small Business Lending in Dallas, Texas. "BoeFly is providing an important service to business owners and this discount gives important help in this challenging economic time."

Bob Coleman, publisher of the Coleman Report, the leading information provider on small business lending, points out the importance of the BoeFly discount. "BoeFly has evidenced how it can match businesses borrowers with serious lenders and this discount is a boon for small business," said Coleman.

About BoeFly
BoeFly is the only online marketplace harnessing technology to dramatically simplify the execution of commercial transactions, including all loan origination and sales. BoeFly revolutionizes how deals get done by seamlessly connecting all parties, including lenders, borrowers, investors, buyers and sellers to a potential transaction and facilitating the efficient completion of these transactions. For small business lenders, BoeFly also provides the ability to sell loans to investors freeing up liquidity for even more small business lending. BoeFly is a subscription service and does not charge any transaction fees.

Key to the success of BoeFly is the site's dynamic compatibility technology which matches parties based on a specific set of criteria. Also, to help BoeFly subscribers complete transactions, BoeFly offers access to service providers in a wide variety of professions from appraisers, to closing attorneys, to environmental consultants.

BoeFly was founded by small business lending experts with extensive banking and secondary market experience. The company is privately-held and is based in New York City.

Covario's Fifth Annual INFLECTIONPoint Conference Attracts "Top Guns" of Search, Social Media and Digital Advertising

Global Marketing Leaders Coming to San Diego to Discuss Digital Marketing and Cross-Media Strategies

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - January 20, 2011) - Covario, Inc., one of the nation's largest independent providers of search marketing software solutions and agency services, today took the wraps off the program agenda and keynote lineup for INFLECTIONPoint 2011, the company's annual two-day customer conference that begins Wednesday, Feb. 2.

This year's event is themed around the "Top Guns" of search, social media and digital advertising in recognition of a select group of global marketing leaders, who are coming to San Diego to discuss key issues around improving the return on investment from their ad spending across digital and other media channels.

The fifth annual INFLECTIONPoint conference will feature high-level keynote speeches, timely panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions. It will also feature the presentation of the annual Covario "Sigma" Awards to recognize client companies that have been successful in driving excellence in marketing and analytics.

The opening day keynote will be by Sean Corcoran, senior analyst at Forrester Research, who will address "A New Set of Measurements for Media Success." Corcoran is an authority on digital advertising, social marketing, emerging media and the ad agency scene. He focuses on helping businesses develop digital marketing strategies for specific customer channels, including search marketing, social computing, mobile marketing and online advertising. Some of his recent published research covers planning and organizational issues around the emerging digital marketing concepts of earned, owned and paid media.

The day-two, Feb. 3, keynoter will be Nancy Bhagat, vice president of the sales and marketing group at the Intel Corporation. In a speech focused on "Cross-Media Optimization," she will address the goals of Intel's marketing programs and how the company will leverage resources like Covario's CMO Dashboard to drive optimal media strategies. Bhagat leads a team of strategic marketers who serve as advocates for Intel's customers. She is charged with creating effective go-to-market plans, communications strategies, media plans and messaging campaigns.

In addition to these keynote speakers, there will be panels and on-stage presentations featuring top marketers in attendance from IBM, Lenovo, Mattel, Wells Fargo, Sony Pictures Entertainment and The Washington Post, among others.

The panels will focus on such hot-button issues as building a scalable earned media strategy, budgeting for global search campaigns, and aligning media spend with results through attribution modeling. The panels will address marketing pressure points like measuring advertising return, monitoring its impact, organizing for both search and social media, budgeting for integrated paid and organic search programs, ascertaining the ROI of cross-media investments, and attributing value to the various online and offline media channels.

Making a return appearance to the conference will be Mark Mahaney, managing director and Internet analyst at Citi Investment Research & Analysis, who will provide an update on the Internet sector and discuss major trends facing global search marketers, in addition to offering his outlook for the economy and the financial markets.

Covario's executive team will also share the firm's latest software development roadmap. This will include the debut of an offline media tracking solution to complement the firm's extensive online software offerings, as well as a new system that automates the discovery of the high-value links advertisers can use to improve their search rankings. Plus, there will be an update to the patent-pending Covario Audit Score™ weighted system that will improve recommendations for better SEO (search engine optimization) rankings by as much as three-fold. The roadmap will also encompass a new "voice of the customer" predictive feature that allows marketers to identify the search terms consumers actually use when looking for product information or planning an online transaction.

Although Covario continues to be recognized as a leading provider of software and search marketing services for both SEO and paid search advertising, Russ Mann, the company's co-founder and chief executive, made it clear that INFLECTIONPoint 2011 will be about much more than search.

"Search programs cannot be conducted in a vacuum if they are to be operated at their most efficient level," Mann said. "Today's marketing leaders understand that last-click attribution generated by search no longer suffices as the final determinant in attributing value to media investments. It's critical to consider how changes in media channels affect one another, along with their relative impact on consumer behavior. Here at INFLECTIONPoint and in all our client interactions, the focus is on global portfolio optimization or the process of attributing value in an appropriate measure to optimize media investments."

On the Effective Date, the share capital of Erdene will be reorganized and each existing Erdene share will be exchanged for one-half of one "Erdene New Share" and one-half of one Morien Share. On the amalgamation of APM and ERI, each shareholder of APM (including Erdene) will receive one (1) common share of Morien for every 7.85 shares of APM owned by such shareholder.
