Ambon, Indonesia brought me to my knees

Currently I’m stuck in Ambon, Indonesia. I want it to be an idyllic, oozing sort of tropical provincial capital city but my optimism has mangled to carrion. Death by bugs, rain and bland bustle.

Despite the guidebook’s attempt at a favorable description, Kota-Ambon fails to live up to anything but reality: this is a bonafide bustle in a country that holds up universally-execrated Jakarta as a model metropolis. Ambon fits the mold of its big, mean, ugly older sister city: it’s polluted, littered with trash and produces odd smells that mix feces with NASA-grade adhesives. It is uninspiring to the extreme despite its picturesque seaside setting–and I’m a devout “always look on the bright side” kinda gal. What a shame. My impressions are not rectified by the citizens who seem to have either an unfortunate lisp, poor comprehension of anatomy or highly misinformed English teachers–or might they be cursed with all of the above? “Hallo Mister!” children and teenagers jubilantly proclaim to me as I stroll past in teal skirt and purple sunglasses.

Before arriving to Ambon I’d read the Lonely Planet guide and brushed up on travelers forums about my short-stay home. The research hardly required even one cup of kopi rorobang, the local answer to caffeine-injected rocket fuel… Prior to immersion I learned that Ambon is best known for three things (besides its aforementioned notoriety as the capital of one of Indonesia’s most scattered and largest regions): Continue reading

Keeping Mobile and Desktop OS separate

Random Musings ,Tech News
March 21, 2013

Google just announced that they are keeping Android and Chrome OS separate – you can read the Verge article here.

I read this article and the top comment sums up my opinion pretty nicely – disappointed. As the divide between mobile computing (cell phones) and “traditional” desktop and laptop computing grows smaller with the prevalence of the tablet form factor, I think that the idea of having one operating system that adapts to multiple devices is the way that computing needs to go. To be honest, I thought that Google would be one of the first companies to get this done. They seem to be in the best position to do so, as they don’t have an established desktop computing user base the way that Apple and Microsoft do, and because of how small of a footprint Chrome OS has on hardware.

Closer instead to this is the Ubuntu Phone, which claims that the phone will become a full version of the Ubuntu operating system when docked. This is where the future in computing lies. Being able to carry around your entire computing life in your pocket? That’s cool. But what are the other big companies doing about this?

Apple’s system is clean, but I think that the difference between their mobile OS and desktop OS limits the usability of the iPad. Personally (and I’ll sound biased on this) I think Microsoft is heading in a better direction with Windows 8, though the execution of the attempt wasn’t optimal. The problem that companies face is the unwillingness of people to change – when the average user gets comfortable with the way their computer looks and feels, they are hesitant to change it. Another issue is figuring out design – the prevalence of touch as a new method of input means that there is a huge market for figuring out how to make an operating system run well with traditional and new hardware advancements.

Back to Google. I can’t understand why a company that has a huge following with their mobile phone operating system isn’t using this to their advantage when developing a desktop operating system. I have a few theories, but I’m not Eric Schmidt and I don’t work at Google, so I won’t know for sure. In the meantime, for my own personal benefits, I’m hoping other software companies jump at the opportunity to fill in this gap and start optimizing their systems for all forms.

zird is the word (lizardek) wrote,
zird is the word

  • Mood:
  • Music:

Monday morning dawned bright and early for Labor Day but neither Mom nor I saw it as we were snoozing a bit late, despite needing to get up and get moving in good time to pack in the sights of our last day of "mini-vacation". We finally hoisted our duffs out of bed and hit the road. Once again we drove west, this time nearly to the border. Our destination was Stockbridge and the Norman Rockwell Museum.

Now I know a lot of people pooh-pooh Rockwell, for various reasons, but the man was incredible. In his lifetime he finished some 4000 artworks, most of them finely detailed paintings and his portraits were exquisite. He didn't consider himself a "fine artist"...he thought of himself solely as a pictorial storyteller; a true illustrator. The museum was situated on lovely grounds and was spacious and light-filled. There were several galleries of his work on the main floor and seeing the familiar images in large-scale was astounding. Not a fine artist, indeed.

Due to our late start we didn't stay and tour Rockwell's studio, though we did spend quite some time in the museum store. We headed out to drive another hour and a half to Hartford, Connecticut to the Mark Twain House. Little did we know that the directions Google had given me were on a 2-lane highway that took FOREVER winding through the Berkshires. And unfortunately we had to be at the Twain House by 4:30 in order to make the last tour, so we couldn't stop at any of the bazillion antique places that were LINED along the road after the first hour. It was pure torture to keep zipping past them. I've never seen so many antique signs in a row in my life!

We finally got into West Hartford and barely had a chance to admire all the huge beautiful homes lining the streets as we found our way to the Museum parking lot. We raced into the Museum Center a few minutes after the last tour was scheduled to start only to be distressed at the fact that there was no one there waiting for a tour. AAGH! We'd missed it! But no, the woman at the front desk said not to worry, and she whipped out a walkie-talkie and told the guide to wait for us. Down the hallway, up a twisting flight of flat stairs around the second floor and out again onto the terrace, then past the carriage house we hurried, and there they were! The guide and 3 other people waiting for us. As we caught up to them and caught our breath and introduced ourselves and thanked them for waiting, another 3 people came rushing up. So then we all set off into the home. It's only open to guided tours, you can't just wander around inside by yourself, and as we came into the foyer, I could see why. It was BEAUTIFUL. And full of beautiful things. The foyer itself was just stunning. Wood-paneled with a beautiful staircase and silvery stencils designed by Tiffany all over the walls and ceiling.

The guide was really great, full of interesting anecdotes and information about the house and the Twain family who lived there for 17 years. Since the book I had been reading for an entire week (at that point) was Mark Twain's Autobiography, I was pretty well up-to-date on the major events of his life and had actually just finished reading about his marriage and subsequent move to Hartford not too long after. Perfect timing! And since Mom and I hadn't thought we'd make it to Mark Twain's house at all, it felt like a major bonus that we had managed to get there in time for the tour. The guide also told us that if we had the opportunity we should come back around Christmastime because they give a really great holiday tour then. That won't be so easy for me, but I sure would love to some day! There were other tours of the house (we only saw part of it) and the Museum Center as well, and the Harriet Beecher Stowes lived literally a stone's throw away across the yard, so I could definitely spend a lot of time there.

I've always been partial to Mark Twain and have read a great many of his books, though not all, by any means. He was a fascinating person in an interesting time. After the tour, in the museum store (which was all that was open after the tour left), the woman there told us to drive back into the center of old West Hartford to find the shopping district where all the restaurants were. Unfortunately, we made a bad decision (our first and only of the trip) regarding the restaurant for dinner and though Mom enjoyed her meal, I think, mine was disappointing and didn't agree with me at all.

Despite that it was a good day and the end of a delightful trilogy of good days. I hope to get back there one day! And even given the incredible amount of stuff we packed into the Labor Day weekend, it's rather daunting to think that of all the things we considered doing during our 3 days, we only made a really tiny dent in the veritable plethora of things to do and see in the area! Two fixes in one day: a great artist and a great writer! Who could ask for anything more?

You are right i missed/forgot the part where shmem is never swapcache
and mapped at the same time, thus page_mapping_file() can return NULL
for those as they can no longer have alias mapping.

Thank you Hugh

Value innovation is what creates blue oceans

Key takeaways

  1. Finding and creating a blue ocean market (a business that turns non-customers into customers, rather than competing for the same customer) is about creating a new value proposition, not technological innovation.
  2. Technology is not why Uber and Starbucks are now worth billions, they created offerings that appealed to non-customers (people not using taxis or people not going to retailers for coffee).
  3. You thus cannot rely on your technology or R&D group to create new opportunities, instead you need to find a new value proposition.

Value innovation is what creates blue oceans

I have written and spoken many times about Blue Ocean strategy, which is effectively turning non-customers into customers, rather than competing for the same customer. One problem many companies often make, though, is confusing product innovation for creating a blue ocean. A recent post, Confusing Technology Innovation with Market-Creating Strategies, highlights why R&D is not synonymous with market creation.

The success of two companies highlight how you can create a blue ocean without creating a product innovation. The first example is Starbucks. Starbucks was able to take a commodity business, selling coffee, and create a new industry by focusing on the customer experience. The post also points to “JCDecaux, which unlocked a blue ocean in outdoor advertising by providing and maintaining “street furniture” for municipalities in exchange for prime stationary downtown locations for ad displays. These strategic moves opened new markets without any bleeding-edge technology.”

Even technology companies that have created blue oceans have not necessarily done it by creating cutting-edge technology. Bleeding edge technology did not make Uber into a multi-billion technology company, instead it was applying relatively straightforward technology to traditional industry and using it to appeal to new customers. Same can be said for Wikipedia, which put information online but did not need new technology to do it but by combining existing technology with a traditional business, it created a product for a new range of customers.

The post points out that value innovation creates compelling new markets, not technology innovation. “Successful new products or services open market spaces by offering a leap in productivity, simplicity, ease of use, convenience, fun and fashion, or environmental friendliness.” Thus, you need to look at your business, your customers and non-customers and create value for them, rather than relying on your tech team to come up with a game changing innovation.

Great books for social game companies

I have hesitated in publishing a “reading list” because often when I see them on other blogs, they are little more than the author’s effort to get some referral income. As many of you know, I do not monetize this blog at all (there is no advertising and I have refused all sponsorship offers) and the links in this post are not tied to any monetization. With that in mind, I wanted to share some books that have made me much more successful and I think will help anyone in the gaming ecosystem (and probably any other business). Given that we all have very limited time, even to read, I have listed the books by how much of an impact they have had for me. Continue reading “Great books for social game companies”

Emmanuella Hristova ~ an interview and her poetry collection ~ The Day My Kises Tasted Like Disorder

Emmanuella Hristova

 Author Bio:
I was born in Oakland, California and grew up in the Bay Area. I'm the third daughter to Bulgarian parents who immigrated to California shortly before I was born. At a young age, I began drawing, reading and writing. As a child, I was an avid reader and writer, but I focused on the fine arts in high school. I received many art accolades, including a Congressional award for my piece "Boy in Red" in 2009. In 2015, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley. I began writing poetry again at age twenty-four when I was in graduate school. I earned my Master's in Education from the same alma mater in 2017. After, I spent two years as an English teacher in Richmond, California. During that time, I self-published my first poetry collection: "The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder". Currently, I'm writing my first novel. I speak English, Bulgarian, Spanish and am now learning French.

Q: Bedtime, relaxing so you can sleep sounds. Is your preference, white noise, TV, soft music, ocean waves, forest or meadow sounds, babbling brook, or something else?
A: Relaxing bedtime sounds for me include water noises like soft rainfall or a babbling brook.

Q: What kind of music do you listen to? Do you have an all time favorite song?
A: I listen to almost everything; I’m obsessed with music especially any type of genre that incorporates soul in it. The last couple of years I’ve been really digging the song called ‘Poltergeist’ by the artist BANKS. Her first album really inspired my poetry collection The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder.

Q: What is the sexiest thing on a man?
A: Deep, introspective or philosophical thoughts. But aesthetically, I love tailored grey suits, a skinny tie and a silver tie clip. Also, dark hair, a trimmed beard, dark-rimmed glasses, and a book in hand never hurt. ;)

Q: Did you like school when you were a child?

A: I loved school. I still do. A part of me thinks I became an English teacher so that I would never leave school. ;) Sometimes I fantasize about going back to college to get my PhD in Linguistics.

Q: When did you start writing and why?
A: My latest book is a poetry collection titled The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder. I started it while I was a soon-to-be college graduate musing about feminist issues like street harassment. Eventually, I began writing about the romantic relationship I was involved with at the time, and about the man I was falling in love with. When that relationship ended, the poetry took a tumultuous turn into heartbreak that melted into a depression once I found out my sister was dying, two weeks after my break-up.

Q: Where do you get your ideas?

A: Most of my work is an emotional response to real life struggles that I’m going through or a political or ethical issue happening around the world. I fill in the gaps using my imagination, which is often inspired by both Bible stories and Greek myths.

Q: How did you come to write your genre of choice?
A: When it came to poetry, I wrote to express my feelings or a sentiment. It wasn’t even intentional. Pent up emotions swelled up inside of me and they had no other place to spill other than onto a blank page. When I started to write my first novel, that was intentional. I had an idea in my head and on a flight home from Europe 16 months ago the ending clicked in my brain and I started scribbling the beginning in my Moleskin notebook. I came home and in my jet-laggedness I wrote the first 40 pages the first week I was home. And then I just kept on writing.

Q: Generally speaking, is your work based on real life experience? If it's not would you want it to be?
A: So far, all of my work has been based on real life experience. That includes my poetry collection, The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder and the novel that I wrote this year which I’m currently editing. In the future, I want to write novels that are not necessarily based on my life; but on the people in my life or purely on my imagination.

Q: What are you working on now? Would you like to share anything about it?
A: I’m currently editing the first draft of my first novel. It’s a story about a first generation American, told in a genre that blends fantasy and magical realism. 30 years ago, Emmy’s parent immigrate to the United States and their lives are never the same. They give birth to their first American daughter; but, they never imagined her to be so gifted. They also never imagined they’d lose everything. She was born with the gift of prophesy, but not even that and her own religious faith can help her prevent the death of most of her family members. Meanwhile, in Emmy’s dream world, a golden statue of a young girl wakes up. Once Zoe realizes who she is and why she’s there, she embarks on the perilous mission to get Emmy out of the labrynth-like castle she’s stuck deep within the crevices of her mind. In the real world, Emmy’s left to deal with the psychological trauma of losing loved ones too soon, and with her inability to make the American Dream materialize. So she turns inward, to the fantastical world she’s built for herself to hide from her grief. However, the home she’s created is holding her captive, and she can’t seem to get out of her own head. So, she dreams up some fantastical sidekicks to get her out, who guide her as she contemplates the purpose of existance, of God, love, the American Dream, and the meaning of grief.

Q: Do you have a new book coming out soon? Tell us about it.
A: I’m currently promoting my poetry collection, but my novel is in the works!

This is my debut poetry collection and my first self-published work. I first published in April, 2018. Although the book only has a few reviews so far, it's rated a 4.5 on Amazon and 4.0 on Goodreads. It's available via eBook on Amazon, iBooks,, Bookshout, Kobo, and Lulu for $3.99.

Q: How can we find you? Do you have a web page, FaceBook page or any buy links?
A: The best place to find me is on Instagram!
You can also connect with me on my Amazon & Goodreads author pages: and

You can also keep up with my work and publicity on my website:

These are also the links to my book:

The Day My Kisses Tasted Like Disorder is a collection of poems that explores a tumultuous year of love, heartbreak, and all kinds of unimaginable loss. Emmanuella's debut poetry book documents the birth and death of a relationship, and the death of her sister. Each poem is an emotional time-stamp that plunges the reader into the depths of the author’s feelings as they burgeon and wane. The book reads like a diary and chronicles the boundaries of the things that we all feel: passion, heartache, and pain that gives way to hope.

The preface.
When the end was the beginning, and

the beginning was the end.

For Dora; I wish you were here.

June 23rd
In the depth of
winter, the flowers do not
bloom, no fruits
appear, the leaves
fall off, and the tree looks
dead, but deep in the
darkness underneath,
the roots grow
and grow

The beginning.
I guess I should thank you,
because you turned me into a poet.

upon identifying the day
I knew I loved you
the moment I saw you
the second time I came to
visit you in The City and you
were wearing a cerulean button-down
that matched your eyes and you
had just shaved your beard and
I wanted to kiss you, but
not like a nervous first kiss or
a slobbery wet one; but rather,
the kind of peck lovers give to one another
after being together for years and
what they’re passing between their lips
is time.

September 21st

upon telling you
The air is cold on the rooftop,
running across my bare shoulders
as I tell you how I feel about you.
My arm presses against yours;
yours doesn’t move. I use it
for support. Our bodies pressed
against the cool, gritty concrete
of the wall that keeps us from falling to
our deaths down below.
Your eyes wax, deep and
limpid like
pools of ocean water
that I see into, staring back at me,
as if you’re
seeing me for the first time.
I see the fear in your face,
breath clutched
between your lips like a
piece of ice
stuck in your throat.
You’re afraid to exhale. Oh shit, oh shit,
oh shit, say your eyes.
No shit.

upon telling me
I am sitting in a middle school
classroom at lunchtime when you
tell me you want to kiss me. My
breath stops in my throat. Instantly,
my heart beats faster and faster
like an unhinged train racing down
its tracks. I was hungry before,
I’m not hungry anymore. A heat
rises from the depths of my soul,
steaming the surface of my cheeks,
pouring out over the tops of my breasts,
and spilling out in between my thighs.
I flush. My flesh heats up, unable
to contain the fireworks exploding on
the inside of my heart.
He wants to kiss me.
And these explosions
going off inside me I imagine will be
bolder, brighter, and more beautiful
when you finally do.

I like your color palette, the cleanliness, and the simplicity of it, it just reminds me too much of the Obama \'08 campaign logo.

Yeah, I agree with you, etchedspirit... it does feel too much like the Obama logo. This wasn\'t presented to the client for that very reason. I tried many other variations of the sun that just didn\'t quite work. Thank you for the feedback.

Look Solutions’ Foggers and Hazers Fill the Bill for Roger George Rentals’ Motion Picture and TV Customers

By January 6, 2012

Roger George Rentals, the SFX rentals and expendables company in Van Nuys, California owned by Oscar-winning special effects/pyrotechnics veteran Thaine Morris, can’t keep Look Solutions’ foggers and hazers on the shelf.

“We have 100 of them out in other people’s hands, on movie sets and episodic television productions,” says Thaine.  “They’re great products and very durable.  We have almost no problems with them and never see them coming back for repair.”

Roger George has rented Look Solutions foggers and hazers to director Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar;” the upcoming “Lincoln” from Steven Spielberg and “Django Unchained” from Quentin Tarantino; the superhero “Avengers,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the “Star Trek” sequel and “Gangster Squad” due out next year; Ben Affleck’s “Argo,” “R.I.P.D” and “One Shot” slated for release in 2013.

The company has also provided Look Solutions’ products to TV’s popular “Castle,” “House,” “Glee,” “Bones,” and “Mike & Molly” as well as HBO’s “True Blood,” Showtime’s “Dexter,” and the new series “American Horror Story” and “Grimm.”

“Look Solutions’ Viper NT foggers have become the standard for fog machines,” notes Elizabeth Morris.  “Everyone uses them.  Other fog machines that produce the same amount of fog are heavier and harder to handle.”

Thaine says the TINY FX unit is “great for gags – like a guy who gets blown up and runs away smoking.  We can just put a TINY in his pocket instead of using toxic, smelly AB smoke.  Creating a smoking engine was very difficult before and required special heavy equipment but we can use a radio-controlled TINY now.  When we wanted to show a smoking barbecue we used to have to start a charcoal fire, dump mineral oil on it and stand by with a fire extinguisher.  Now we use a TINY and there’s no worrying about someone burning himself: It’s ready when you need it and gone when you’re done.”

According to Elizabeth, the film “Burlesque” was a heavy user of Look Solutions’ Unique2 hazers.  “The bar room scene was very hazy; shooting HD requires more fog and haze than they’d need with film – the HD cameras seem to be able to see through it better so you need more.  I think ‘Burlesque’ consumed fluid in the 100-gallon range.”

“We deal in a lot of different equipment and sell a lot more Look Solutions’ gear than any other,” notes Thaine.  “It’s very, very stable and fills the bill for our customers.”

TR Daily Simons Details FTC’s Efforts During Pandemic
Monday, May 11, 2020

Simons Details FTC’s Efforts During Pandemic

In a generally amicable teleconference forum, members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s consumer protection and commerce subcommittee today asked Federal Trade Commission Chairman Joe Simons to explain the agency’s efforts to address scams and fraudulent claims related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, privacy concerns arising from increased use of videoconferencing, and proposals to harness technology to track people’s location in order to trace contacts as potential virus transmission vectors.

They also asked what additional authority the agency might need to address consumer concerns at this time.

Subcommittee ranking member Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.) emphasized that as track and trace proposals are rolled out, “Americans must be assured of their privacy” because, “without trust, the success of these technologies will be limited.”

Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D., Delaware) asked about the extent of FTC authority to address the track and trace issues.

Mr. Simons emphasized that the agency wants to be sure that companies under existing consent decrees with respect to their privacy practices remain compliant. He added that the agency is talking to industry about privacy practices.

Rep. McMorris Rodgers also noted that as people stay home to reduce the spread of the virus, “we’re all using Zoom” and there has been “a lot of issues raised around the privacy of those sessions.”

Mr. Simons said that users can take steps to protect themselves, such as using a password for their videoconference meeting and locking the meeting after all expected participants show up. “You may get an unexpected meeting link … Don’t click on that link. It may be a phishing attack,” he warned.

Rep. Jerry McEnerny (D., Calif.) noted that he had joined other members last month in sending a letter to the chief executive officer of Zoom to ask about its privacy and security practices, but he acknowledged that there might be limits on what the FTC chairman might be able to say regarding its investigatory or enforcement efforts in that area.

Mr. Simons said that in general, “we’re willing to take complaints from anywhere.” He added, “If you’re reading about it in the media you can be assured that we’re either working on it already or we will be as result of that media attention.”

Subcommittee Chair Jan Schakowsky (D., Ill.) said that “some price gouging laws that do exist don’t cover the current situation.” She noted that she has proposed federal price gouging legislation and asked whether the FTC has enough authority to address price gouging.

Mr. Simons said, “No, we don’t really think we have the authority right now. It’s not a good fit for our current statute,” that is, the FTC Act. He said the agency would appreciate and use any additional authority granted by Congress.

Rep. Fred Upton (R., Mich.) asked how enforcement with respect to price gouging is working in states that don’t have price-gouging laws and whether there is anything Congress can do.

The FTC is sending referrals to states and “looking to make referrals” to the U.S. Department of Justice, Chairman Simons said. “They have 200 open investigations just for price gouging. We maybe have 200 open investigations into everything we do,” he noted.

Full committee Chairman Frank Pallone Jr. (D., N.J.) asked what the FTC is doing about scams related to the pandemic.

“When we’ve seen questionable claims we’ve reacted quickly by sending warning letters,” Mr. Simons said. Almost all of those warned have responded by removing the claims, but where they haven’t, the FTC has pursued enforcement, he added.

In response to a question from Rep. Tony Cardenas (D., Calif.), the FTC Chairman said that the agency does not have an estimate on total monetary damages to U.S. consumers from scams and fraud during the pandemic period. He said that the FTC needs congressional action to boost its authority in this area.

Rep. Kathy Castor (D., Fla.) asked what the FTC is doing to ensure compliance with its Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) rule, now that many students are engaged in online learning and have increased online activity overall, since they can’t leave home.

Mr. Simons said the agency is continuing to enforce the COPPA rule.

In response to a question about the FTC is using AI (artificial intelligence) as an enforcement tool, FTC Consumer Protection Bureau Chief Andrew Smith, who was also present for the virtual forum, said that the agency has been using AI to crawl the web to find COVID-19 scams.

Asked by Rep. Michael Burgess (R., Texas) about whether he has seen any trends on consumer protection issues during the pandemic, Mr. Simons said, “I think it’s pretty standard.” He outline three types of cases the agency is seeing: bogus cures and preventions for coronavirus; scams that are based on financial hardship and confusion over government programs; and imposter scams. He noted that “based on what we saw on the 2008 [financial] downturn, we expect these types of [government program] scams [to continue] for a long time.” He said that the FTC is engaged in consumer education and enforcement for all three types of cases.

Rep. Doris Matsui (D., Calif.) asked whether the FTC has adequate resources to monitor labor markets for collusion.

Mr. Simons said the agency is “very much on the lookout and where appropriate would refer these kinds of cases” to the Justice Department. He added that a lull in pre-merger review filings has freed up human resources at the agency to be redirected to other issues such as the labor market.

In his opening statement, Mr. Simons emphasized that the FTC is “continuing to fulfill our mission to protect American consumers even under these conditions [with] staff working almost entirely from home.” —Lynn Stanton, [email protected]

SensaSlim Shonky Shows Up TGA

By now you most probably know that SensaSlim won the Choice Shonky for “making snake oil look good”. Or rather, “SensaSlim (and friends)”.

Delightfully the TGA receive an honorary Shonky for their mind blowing apathy and inbred inability to delist the rubbish. Choice report:

The TGA, who deserve an honorary Shonky for their role in this, have had ample reason and opportunity to delist the product, ensuring it can no longer be sold in Australia, but have declined to do so. Even after the TGA’s advertising Complaints Resolution Panel recommended its delisting due to non-compliance with regulations, they have sat tight and done nothing.

Of course the TGA who can, according to the TGA simply do no wrong, rejected this award in the same hilarious manner they reject any responsibility for regular TGA failures. Reported in The Australian, “Unproven slimming spray wins a shonky”:

The TGA revoked Sensaslim’s approval to make such claims, but it has not delisted the product for sale, as suggested by its panel, earning it an “honorary Shonky”. A spokesperson says the Shonky is unwarranted: “The TGA continues to take regulatory action against SensaSlim Solutions to remove it from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.”

The spray continues to be sold by several Australian internet pharmacies. This prompted [Ken] Harvey to write to the Pharmacy Board of Australia this week, alerting it to possible “breaches by pharmacists” of legislation prohibiting them from misleading advertising.

Which is exactly why the spray should have already been delisted. People are still being ripped off. More on the failing effectiveness if not relevance of the TGA can be read here at Australian Skeptics.

Just recently on October 27th the Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Ageing, Catherine King, hinted at regulatory change. Speaking at the Complementary Healthcare Council of Australia’s (CHC) National Conference King agreed that the Auditor General’s report into the TGA this year highlighted concerns. Pharmacy Daily report:

These issues, including poor compliance rates, resulted in recommendations for improving the process of regulation for complementary medicines and the handling of advertising complaints. Specific recommendations listed in the report, including: the timely completion by TGA of key guidance material for complementary medicines; improving the integrity of the self-assessment process for listing complementary therapies whilst limiting the use of inappropriate claims and indications, have been accepted by the TGA and are now in the planning stages for implementation.

King also said planning is now occurring for further report recommendations including making information available to the public on each listed complementary medication; improving the quality of the regulatory framework through the use of risk profiles; and the development of documented procedures for handling advertising complaints including timelines for completing investigations.

An informal working group had also identified that the current system doesn’t “sufficiently encourage compliance”. Indeed. It cannot be understated how appalling the TGA behaved in setting in train some of it’s regulatory powers, such as seeking original and stated evidence from sponsors of ARTG products, only upon discovering the Auditor General was to investigate. Put simply, the TGA can at any time ask for the evidence of any ARTG listed “alternative to medicine” product and act accordingly. Put rather more simply, they don’t.

Despite having several months to discern whether SensaSlim (and a plethora of other scam products) meet requirements Pharmacy News reported last week on the TGA dodging any criticism surrounding Sensaslim. Not happy about it’s honorary Shonky for apathy in the face of urgency, it was noted that:

… a TGA spokesperson insisted it was reviewing whether the product met the requirements for listing on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). “It is nonsense to say that the TGA has taken no action in relation to SensaSlim,” the spokesperson said. “The TGA continues to take regulatory action against SensaSlim Solutions to remove it from the ARTG.

As for the SensaSlim Scam itself, well the European and American markets – always the primary target – are now copping it. The same flashy websites once active in Australia, with exactly the same claims are misleading consumers on those continents. The UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency cannot act to have the misleading advertising removed unless:

  • The site is hosted in the UK
  • The profits are banked in the UK
  • The product is distributed from the UK
  • And is a medicinal product

Profits from sales of SensaSlim go via PayPal into the bank account of Peter Foster’s QLD girlfriend Liana Emberg. Liana is understandably keeping quiet. Emberg was one of seven SensaSlim scam scally wags who had their bank accounts frozen by the ACCC.

Somehow I doubt poor Liana is losing out.

Shifting Interfaces

An Anthology of Presence, Empathy, and Agency in 21st-Century Media Arts

Edited by Hava Aldouby

Regular price €59.50 (including 6% VAT) Sale

Edited volume - paperback

Up-to-date account of media art issues in the early 21st century

Early 21st century media arts are addressing the anxieties of an age shadowed by ubiquitous surveillance, big data profiling, and globalised translocations of people. Altogether, they tap the overwhelming changes in our lived experience of self, body, and intersubjective relations. Shifting Interfaces addresses current exciting exchanges between art, science, and emerging technologies, highlighting a range of concerns that currently prevail in the field of media arts. This book provides an up-to-date perspective on the field, with a considerable representation of art-based research gaining salience in media art studies. The collection attends to art projects interrogating the destabilisation of identity and the breaching of individual privacy, the rekindled interest in phenomenology and in the neurocognitive workings of empathy, and the routes of interconnectivity beyond the human in the age of the Internet of Things.

It's all Charlie's fault. Or maybe Joanne's. If it weren't for them, I never would have gotten involved with the apocalyptic pagan cult.

Let's back up a minute.

I was eighteen years old and bored. wombat-socho and I had gotten in on the ground floor of the local anime convention. This was interesting, strictly due to the amount of weird people that flow through a convention's convention committee (or concom, as we liked to call it), but it limited my social opportunities. Being a home-schooled teenager without a car had some distinct drawbacks.

Floating in the pool in what was then the Sheraton Bloomington, I was sunk deep in that pit of world-weary ennui every teenager in existence digs themselves into. Life was shit, I thought, staring at the blue sky through the skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Boring. Social anxiety kept me more or less sequestered from all but the estrogen-heavy registration crew - and they had actually interesting things going on in their life, whether it be a job making Renaissance Faire garb or a hobby involving robotics.

I was a student. A student with a bit more money than usual, thanks to an inheritance from my Grandmother, but a student. A very depressed, twitchy, goth student with a distinctly non-mainstream belief system.

So when Joanne, an older, tattoo-adorned science fiction fan (and the head of the convention's hospitality suite) came up to me and started talking and mentioned a twice-monthly informal pagan gathering, I was interested enough to consider going. When Joanne made it clear she'd be by with Charlie that night to provide transportation from the far-flung suburbs I lived in to the university, I was sold.

And so I spent the first of what would come to be many Wednesday nights at a coffeehouse discussing the flexibility and inflexibility of the Wiccan Rede, drinking chai, and trying not too get too twitchy about the reality-benders, the UFO conspiracy theorist, or the grim, unsmiling triad of Asatruar clustered (inevitably) around the a literature-strewn table in the back.

Towards the end of the evening, a tall man, more beautiful than handsome, his shaven head gleaming in the track lighting, entered. He was clad in a black t-shirt and tight jeans and combat boots, but showed none of the ostentatious pentagrams or tie-died t-shirts most of the rest of the attendees were festooned with.

"See something you like?" Charlie said, leaning over. Scott turned to look at us, a broad, shit-eating grin on his angel-seeming face. We made eye contact. I blushed and immediately averted my own, staring determinedly at one of the large crystal prisms for sale.

"Who, um."

"That's Scott. He's one of us." Charlie said, chuckling. "Not one of them."

Charlie's tie-dyed shirt stung my eyes as I turned to look again at Scott weaving his way around fragile glass cases and bat-winged Goddess statues towards us. "One of us?"

"You know." Charlie said, still chuckling. "The chosen."

WARM ADVICE: Top tips to get ready for winter creep of chilly weather costs.
WARM ADVICE: Top tips to get ready for winter creep of chilly weather costs.

Finance freeze: Prepping for winter chills and bills

AS WE head into winter, now is the time to check your home heating appliances - and your home and contents cover.

The cooler months typically see an uptick in home insurance claims with a rise of up to 47 per cent in colder states like NSW though Victoria leads the country for claims in winter. Sadly, these claims are often the result of fire damage caused by dodgy appliances.

Research shows some of the most common causes of home fires in winter involve embers escaping from open fireplaces, electric heaters being knocked over, faulty electric blankets and even bathroom heat lamps exploding when they become clogged with dust.

That makes it worth keeping your home safe by giving heating equipment a once-over and a thorough clean. If in doubt, consider replacing older appliances. It's better to be safe than sorry.

It also makes sense to check that your home and contents insurance is up to date.  Winter doesn't just bring increased risks of fire damage, it can also deliver some wild weather.

Most Australians have home building and contents insurance, but many of us don't have enough cover to protect what can be our most valuable asset - one that usually goes hand in hand with a substantial mortgage.

It's estimated that four out of five Australian homes are underinsured - meaning the property is covered for less than 90 per cent of rebuilding costs. It's an easy trap to fall into because home owners, understandably, simply don't know what it would cost to repair or rebuild their homes. Yet that's exactly what the "sum insured" is supposed to represent. The bottom line is that a lot of people are relying on some very rubbery figures to insure their home.

Playing a guessing game with home insurance can mean finding yourself wildly out of pocket at claim time - something that can be financially and emotionally devastating. Frankly, it's not worth the risk.

The good news is that a new home insurance calculator is available on the Understanding Insurance website. It provides a clear picture of the likely cost to rebuild your home, and it's based on data from building cost estimator Cordell using the most up to date information to provide real-time cost estimates.

The calculator is worth a look - a colleague put her home to the test and was amazed to see the cost to rebuild her place is double what she expected. It's a problem that's easily solved. Paying just a bit more in premiums often buys a lot more cover.

The insurance calculator isn't just handy for current home owners. It can also be a great tool if you're a home buyer, helping you predict the possible cost of insuring a property you're planning to buy.

Comparison and optimization of genetic tools used for the identification of ancient fish remains recovered from archaeological excavations and museum collections in the Mediterranean region

Puncher, Gregory Neils; Cariani, Alessia; Cilli, Elisabetta ✉; Massari, Francesco; Leone, Agostino; Morales-Muniz, Arturo; Onar, Vedat; Toker, Nezir Yasar; Bernal Casasola, Dario; Moens, Tom; Tinti, Fausto

Angol nyelvű Tudományos Konferenciaközlemény (Folyóiratcikk)
      Among the many fish species commercially exploited since prehistoric times, Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is one of the most economically significant, having left an indelible imprint on several civilizations including the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. Here, we describe our efforts to identify tuna specimens among the remains of 345 fish vertebrae and bones in several large collections from the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Black Sea, dating from the Late Iron Age (2nd century BCE) to the early 20th century (1911-1927). Unfortunately, ancient fish specimens are often mislabelled, which can cause a great deal of confusion among zoologists. Protocols were developed and optimized to overcome the unique challenges related to the compromised integrity of genetic material preserved in ancient bones. Three DNA isolation protocols were compared to maximize yields, and as reported for other faunal remains, a silica spin column-based method was proven most effective. Endogenous DNA was successfully extracted from the majority of bones and amplified using polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) and an assortment of four primer pairs targeting nuclear (internal transcribed spacer) and mitochondrial sequences (cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 and control region). Protocols targeting mitochondrial markers were more successful than those focused on nuclear targets. Due to the restricted length of the extracted DNA molecules, character-based keys containing diagnostic nucleotide substitutions were defined and used to identify 231 samples to genera, of which 171 were identified to species level. The success rate of assignment of specimens to species level varied between location and collection, reflecting variation in DNA preservation between different sites and environments. The methods detailed herein can be used to identify other ancient fish specimens and provide information about historical human diets, trade, species distribution, and biodiversity. The same tools can be applied to the analysis of processed food items with highly damaged DNA.
