US Recovers Additional Remains Of Sgt. Johnson In Niger

The Pentagon says it has recovered additional remains of Army Sgt.
Johnson and three other American soldiers - Staff Sgt. Bryan Black, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson and Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright - were killed in an October 4 when militants believed to be linked to the Islamic State ambushed their patrol, consisting of 12 USA troops and 30 Nigerien forces.
The Pentagon said Tuesday that a military investigation team found additional remains of Johnson on November 12 at the site where his body had been recovered a month earlier.
President Donald Trump's handling of condolence messages to the families of the dead USA soldiers has been criticized by lawmakers in Washington and has raised the profile of the deadly incident.
Johnson, 25, of Miami Gardens, Florida, was killed with three other members of the Army's 3rd Special Forces Group in an October 4 ambush in Niger.
CBS News and The Washington Post have reported eyewitnesses of the aftermath disclosing his hands were tied. Johnson's death in particular is the subject of intense inquiry amid revelations that it took almost 48 hours to discover his body after the fatal ambush.
Several US military officials caution the local reports are not yet verified.
The Green Beret-led team was traveling with 30 Nigerien soldiers when they were attacked by approximately 50 ISIS-affiliated fighters armed with rocket propelled grenades, mortars and heavy machine guns.
During the subsequent gun battle, which lasted for hours, four United States soldiers were killed and two were wounded.
Two more American troops were wounded and five Nigerien troops were also killed in the incident. The department continues to conduct a detailed and thorough investigation into the deaths of Staff Sgt. Bryan C. Black, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah W. Johnson, Staff Sgt. Dustin M. Wright, and Sgt.
The U.S. military previously revealed that its investigation will likely not be complete until January 2018. Nigerien, U.S., and French forces searched for Johnson's body for almost 48 hours before it was found.

Ten ways in which startups are like movies
Tristan Louis
I was talking to some friends in the movie industry recently and started realizing that movies, and the way they are made, are not that different from the startup world. So without further ado, here's my quick ten-point list on why start-ups are like movies.
1. Many are made, few succeed
Every year, tens of thousands of movies are made around the world. Only a small set makes it to the big screen. The rest ends up on alternate distribution circuits (straight-to-DVD, for example).
On the internet, thousands of startups are launched yearly. The vast majority may get a headline or two but fail to get substantial traction. As a result, they do not get funded and live on as walking zombies are die a quiet death.
2. Special investors
A lot of startups kick off with a friends and family round, getting friends (and family) to invest in the initial development of a startup. Once a prototype is built, they can then try to get money from angel investors, and then venture capitalists.
Many independent movies follow the same line, with friends and family funding some initial effort (when the director is still unknown) and later features being funded by producers, and then move on to direct studio investments.
In each case, the investor class brings more than money to the table, generally adding some of their own valuable network and knowledge of what works to the venture, and increasing its chance of success.
In each case, there are particular stars that one wants to associate with but those are generally very selective in who they work with and get to pick only projects that interest them.
3. Talented team + visionary leader are key
Every investor will tell you that the key to a successful startup starts with the quality of the team. They look for founders who can cover the product management role and the technical role in order to define, develop, and manage products that are loved by customers. In many case, leaders with a established track record (one or more successful startups under their belt) tend to have an easier time getting the support needed to launch a new venture.
In the same way, movies generally happen because a director has the vision to put a solid story together and bring on the appropriate people to help them realize that vision. Producers look for directors who can tap the zeitgeist or present a story that will resonate with the public. For directors with established track records (one or more successful movies under their belt), producers are willing to be more flexible and give them more control.
4. Money does not equal success
Hollywood has a long history of belly-flops: some movies receive huge amounts of money to pay for stars and special effects and end up crashing at the box office as audiences reject them.
In the same way, the amount of money raised by a startup has little to do with its potential success. The 1990s told us that the amount of money a company raises can actually have a negative impact on its potential for success.
The challenge, in each case is that the higher the budget, the higher the expectation of higher returns.
5. Distribution is key
The movie industry talks a fair amount about distribution, ie. what studio is distributing the movie, on how many screens a movie is shown, what other distribution channels are being used (theater, on-demand, DVD, streaming, cable TV, network TV), etc… They work hard to protect the way in which the distribution channels are set up and see that as a competitive advantage.
A failure in one of the distribution channels can lead to reduced hopes for all the others ones, thus reducing audiences, and therefore revenue.
In the startup world, how one acquires customers, across which platform (the web, mobile, social networks, etc…) is an essential part of the success of a product. Fail to attack the appropriate distribution channels and you might fail to gain customers.
A failure in one of the channels can be recovered from but can have a substantial negative impact on the product, which may reduce the number of customers, and therefore revenue.
6. Pushing boundaries
A successful movie redefines what people thing of as the movie craft. Whether it is Orson Welles' use of previously unused camera angles in Citizen Kane, George Lucas' use of special effects in Star Wars, the Wachowski's brothers use of bullet time in the Matrix, or James Cameron's use of 3D in Avatar, successful movies can push the boundaries of what is being done technically, creating new level of expectations from audiences.
Characters, editing, story-telling are all other components in a director's bag of tricks to push boundaries. Think of any important movie in history and you will find something that was done in a radically different way from before (eg. use of color in the Wizard of Oz, the editing of the shower scene in Psycho, or the frenetic pace of the car chase in The French Connection).
Successful startups, in the same way, force us to reassess how to use a piece of technology. Whether it is Apple doing point and click on the first mac, Amazon delivering exactly the book you wanted to your door, Google providing the best search results you've seen, or Facebook helping you reconnect with your friends, any successful company started presenting something that didn't exist before.
The challenge, of course, is to push far enough but not so far that the audience does not follow.
7. A slew of imitators
When a movie is successful, it is generally followed by a lot of imitators who try to cash in on its success. For example, following the success of Avatar, an increasing amount of movies are adding 3D, hoping that it will help them at the box office. Another example is the slew of action films that added bullet time scenes after the Matrix came out.
In the same way, when a startup breaks new grounds, it is followed by a slew of imitators. So the success of Facebook led to a lot of people talking about their products being social. Or the success of GroupOn has led to many clones popping up.
It's a normal part of the innovation cycle but unfortunately, few of the clones end up being as successful as the original.
8. Cultural impact
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." "Make my day!" "These are not the droids you've been looking for." Take the red pill or the blue pill. Each of those phrases and concepts started in movies and eventually moved to be short-hand in the cultural discussion. Because successful movies are seen by the masses, and because they are inherently part of the culture, their success impacts the culture as a whole.
"Google this." "Friend me." "It's like he's the mayor of this place." In the same way, successful startups have a social impact that goes beyond the use of the actual application and turn to become defining terms in themselves. My friend Anil likes to say that his blog is about how technology is making culture. The only difference of opinion I have with his statement is that good technology is about making culture. And sadly, there's also a lot of bad technology out there (see point 7)
9. Success is not a straight line
James Cameron initially conceived of Avatar in the mid-1990s but felt the technology wasn't there to do it so he went on to do other movies. Indiana Jones was initially supposed to be a James Bond like character but evolved to what we now know over weeks and months of discussion. In many cases, the most successful movies do not follow a straight path but go from a germ of an idea to the final product by taking several shifting turns.
In the same way, the initial Google was looking to sell search engines in the corporate space. Facebook was initially a student directory at Harvard. But over time, they figured out the appropriate business model and moved to become the leaders they are today.
10. Past is not future
The final similarity between the two is that past success is no guarantee of future results. Most successful movie directors have, at one point or another, stumbled, delivering a movie that just didn't work for the audience. George Lucas direct "Howard the Duck," which was a huge bomb at the box office. Steven Spielberg directed "Hook", a Peter-pan retelling that couldn't find an audience.
In the same way, Mark Pinkus, the founder of Zynga, had trouble getting his previous company, Tribe, off the ground. Evan Williams, who now heads Twitter, previously ran a podcasting company called Odeo that was not that successful.
In each case, though, an important factor prevailed: whether it is in movies or in the start-up world, the founders didn't get discouraged by the failure and went back to work until they finally figured out the right model. And that is what eventually made them great.
Writing and working on the internet since 1993, I've launched six companies, of which two went public and three were sold. This is my personal site and all opinions here are mine.

Launched today, SquareOne is another mail app that's here to save the day and clear up all of your mess.
The iPhone app is solely compatible with Gmail and works by getting you to divide your emails up into groups. It helps you out with some suggestions to start, but then you can reposition and rename them as much as you like. As you can see from the example above, groups like VIPS, Friends and Team are presented in a simple grid-like format. Once you receive an email, you can then swipe it to add it into a certain group and in future all emails from that person will be sent there automatically. You can also manage which push notifications you get from certain groups, which is a nice touch.
Everything else SquareOne does looks good but is pretty standard for a mail app, it's the sorting that it prides itself on. For some people this may work well and could ensure they're more productive if they assign a time each day to tackle certain emails from certain group. However, now Gmail has its own super organised Categories functionality, SquareOne may need to add in something else to make it really useful to the time-saving, life-hacking crowd.
You can download SquareOne from the app store here.

King of the Lost World (2005) review
If you have never heard of KING OF THE LOST WORLD, you're lucky – or at least you were, until you started reading this review. Sorry about that, but if I had to suffer through watching this movie, the least you can do is suffer the knowledge of the film's existence. Just be thankful I took the bullet for you.
Anyway, this paradigm of low-budget exploitation proceeds from The Asylum, a company whose rai·sons d'être is the creation of direct-to-video schlock cleverly titled to cash in on high-profile theatrical releases. Thus SNAKES ON A PLANE (2006) begat SNAKES ON A TRAIN (also 2006); even better, The Asylum's I AM OMEGA (2007) conflated the title of 2007's I AM LEGEND with its 1971 predecessor, THE OMEGA MAN. Continuing their strategy of expending more creative ingenuity on their titles than their films, The Asylum one-upped their word-splicing technique to create KING OF THE LOST WORLD, a moniker so loaded with potential it leaves you wondering just what, exactly, is being appropriated.
At first glance, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK (1997) looks like a good candidate, but the Asylum usually targets current releases, so perhaps KING KONG (2005) is the true source of "inspiration" – a theory buttressed by the presence of a giant ape on the cover art. But when you pop the disc into your player, the film starts with survivors of an airplane crash realizing they are stranded on an island filled with much mysterioso weirdness, and you realize that the LOST television series is being sourced as much as anything.
The screenplay pretends to be based on Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World, which is in the public domain and thus grants The Asylum license to riff on (or rip off) films with similar story lines – including the previously mentioned KING KONG. Oh well, what goes around comes around, I guess. Strictly speaking, the only connection between the book and the movie is some character names and the general idea of an isolated, prehistoric world surviving in present day.
Anyway, you're probably wondering what happens in the movie, and the answer is: not much. We see bits and pieces of the crashed plane but not the whole thing because that would be too expensive. As Challenger, a mysterious man with a secret, Bruce Boxleitner (TRON, BABYLON 5) shows up to provide some name value, and like the pieces of the airplane, he is shown in brief cuts meant to convince us that he is, indeed, in the movie, though not always with the rest of the cast. (Steve Railsback shows up in a cave later to provide similar service.)
Our intrepid crew realize that this island is a graveyard for crashed planes. If they can just get to the other half of their plane (which somehow ended up miles away), maybe they can send out an SOS and get themselves rescued. Not much of a plan, but it gives them an excuse to trek across the island, encountering the occasional enlarged arachnid and some flying reptiles that look more like dragons than pterodactyls.
Eventually, the survivors find a primitive tribe that might not be indigenous: it kinda-sorta seems to be populated by previous crash victims – at least, we see some of our survivors subsumed into the group. The reasons for this development are not made clear; presumably it was to justify the casting of actors who do not particularly look as if they were born on an uncharted island.
It's King Kong - er, King of the Lost World.
Needless to say, being primitives, the "locals" (or are they "ferals"?) make sacrifices to their local deity, who turns out to be a furry, blurry piece of computer-generated imagery somewhat resembling a giant gorilla. He shows up in the last reel to justify the word "king" because if you rent a film called KING OF THE LOST WORLD, and there's no giant gorilla in it, you're going to be disappointed (as if you weren't already).
The cast and crew apparently intended to make a decent B-flick rather than a send-up, but good intentions and halfway decent performances take you only so far. The dragons look goofy; the ape is worse. The plot threads do not so much tie these monster scenes together and string them along, and it is hard to get invested in the mystery (is Challenger a good guy or a bad guy, and does he know something that may help the survivors?) when said mystery plays out against a backdrop that includes a tribe of islanders whose members seem to have wandered in from a frat party.
As silly as all this sounds, none of it is really much fun, not even as deliberate camp. You would probably have a better time watching a man-in-a-suit stomp around some miniatures, instead of watching blurry pixels stutter across your screen. There are many films far cheesier and technically incompetent than KING OF THE LOST WORLD; ironically, some of those are far more entertaining.
KING OF THE LOST WORLD (The Asylum, 2005). Directed by Leigh Scott. Screenplay by Carlos De Los Rios, David Michael Latt, Leigh Scott, based on The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. 80 minutes. Rated R. Cast: Bruce Boxleitner, Jeff Denton, Rhett Giles, Sarah Lieving, Christina Rosenberg, Steve Railsback.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL's Dee Wallace: The CFQ Interview
I Said Pass the #@%*! Potatoes: Dee Wallace lets the witch show through the homey facade in HANSEL AND GRETEL.
It's our first Spielberg veteran here at CFQi, and a good one, too. Dee Wallace probably reached her greatest audience as the progressive but put-upon suburban mom of E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, but she had previously developed her genre chops in two landmark horror titles: Wes Craven's THE HILLS HAVE EYES and Joe Dante's THE HOWLING, and most recently took her career in a darkly satirical direction with her work in the Asylum's gory, fractured fairy tale, HANSEL AND GRETEL. Our conversation with Dee was frank and incisive, taking in a discussion of Spielberg's personal investment in his films, the emotional complications of doing explicit sex scenes, and what it's like breaking into the business on a low-budget horror film. Click on the player to hear the show.

Gov. Whitmer: Hospitals 'dangerously low' on employee protection
LANSING — A field hospital at Detroit's downtown convention center could get its first COVID-19 patients this week, officials said Monday.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Detroit-area hospitals are running "dangerously low" on personal protection equipment. She also reported an "incredible surge" in the number of unemployment claims and promised that people would get paid, despite computer woes and bureaucratic red tape.
"We will get to you," Whitmer said.
The governor gave an update on COVID-19 after the number of cases rose to 15,718 and 617 deaths over the weekend. Whitmer said she plans to extend a stay-at-home order, which limits people to essential trips outside their homes and shuts down most businesses.
"We are not out of the woods yet," said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, the state's medical executive. "Our hospitals continue to be overwhelmed, especially in southeast Michigan."
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are among those particularly susceptible to more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.
The federal government is creating a 1,000-bed hospital at TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Center. Whitmer said the first patients could be there by Friday.
Also Monday, Democrats in the state House reported that Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit, tested positive for COVID-19 but that she was doing well and appeared "to be on the other side of this illness." She is the second House member with a confirmed case, while a third legislator, Rep. Isaac Robinson, D-Detroit, is suspected to have died from the disease.
Whitsett did not attend the last day of voting March 17.
The state for the first time made public data on hospitalizations, though called it incomplete. On Saturday, there were at least 3,768 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 across the state — 89% in southeast Michigan. Nearly 1,400 were on ventilators.

With a big tear in my eye I close my DW blog "Abenteuer Sport" today. After almost nine years (six years for the English version "Adventure Sports") it's over due to DW-internal decisions.
I would like to thank you very much! You climbers and other adventurers who have always been open to me in the past years. You loyal readers who motivated me to continue with your encouraging comments. And you donators for our aid project "School up!" who made the reconstruction of the school in Thulosirubari possible after the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015.
We haven't yet reached the finish line in this small mountain village. This is one of the reasons why I have decided to continue to report in the same familiar way about what is happening on the highest mountains of the world – in my new, now completely private blog "Abenteuer Berg" (Adventure Mountain). I hope you feel well informed and entertained there too. Most likely I won't be able to keep up with the number of blog posts I wrote for "Adventure Sports". But I do my best. And in a modification of the old French formula the heralds used to proclaim the death of the king, I say: The blog is dead, long live the blog!

The first period commences with the foundation of the colony known as Deutsch-Sudwestafrika (German South West Africa) in 1884 and the permanent settlement of a white civilization in that territory. The need for cultural expressions was felt at an early stage already and the desire to apply the cultural standards of the continent of Europe was strongly present among a large proportion of the colonists. The second period was ushered in by the First World War which radically changed the political, as well as the social position of South West Africa. It put an end to German colonial rule and the territory became a mandate under the control of the South African Government. After the war the third period commences, characterized by greater co-operation between the three white language groups in South West Africa and closer relations with South Africa. The economic revival resulting therefrom, was beneficial to the general progress experienced in the field of art. Closer collaboration with South Africa in the field of art gradually broke the isolation to which local painters had hitherto been subjected. The S.A.A.A. (S.W.A.) (South African Association of Arts (S.W.A.) established as a branch of the S.A.A.A. in 1947, constituted a valuable contribution in this connection. It created for South West African painters an opportunity to exhibit outside the borders of the territory and thus to receive ever more recognition there.

Fried Luciosoma bleekeri (Pla sio ao), a specialty of the Thai cuisine
Luciosoma bleekeri (Chinese: 布氏梭大口魚, Thai: ปลาซิวอ้าว) is a species of small cyprinid fish found in Southeast Asia from the Mae Klong River to the Mekong. It lives mainly in rivers, moving into flooded forests and fields during the floods and back into the river as the floods recede. It usually swims close to the surface in schools of many individuals.[1] It is one of the most abundant of the different types of minnow-sized fishes known as (Pla sio) in Thailand.
Uses 1
This small fish is important in the cuisine of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam where it is seasonally found in great numbers. It is commonly deep-fried, pickled or fermented as Pla ra, Padaek and Prahok, as well as salted and dried. It is eaten also raw in Lao and Isan cuisine.[2]
These tiny fishes are beautiful and very active and are also appreciated in the aquarium trade.[3]

It may sound counter-intuitive, but taking a break from work improves your productivity--personally and professionally. Besides the obvious benefit of allowing you to rest and recharge your batteries, a change of scenery, pace and perspective is good for your mental outlook. Former NASA scientists found that people who take vacations experience an 82 percent increase in job performance upon their return, with longer vacations making more of an impact than short ones. Putting in too many hours, on the other hand, does the opposite. "While it's commonly assumed that the best way to solve a difficult problem is to relentlessly focus," Jonah Lehrer wrote in his book, Imagine: How Creativity Works, "this clenched state of mind comes with a hidden cost: it inhibits the sort of creative connections that lead to breakthroughs."
The benefits of taking vacations can even be seen at a molecular level, according to John Tierney, a science reporter for The New York Times. "A vacation reduces stress hormones and boosts your immune system," he says. "The science is very clear on this. People who take more vacations have fewer heart attacks, suffer less from depression and are actually more productive at work."
And yet, despite those benefits, many Americans have a hard time taking time off. The average U.S. employee who receives paid vacation has only taken about half (54%) of those days in the past 12 months, according to a survey of over 2,200 workers by careers website Glassdoor. Why don't they take what's due to them? "Fear," says Scott Dobroski, career trends analyst at Glassdoor. "That's the underscoring theme." They fear getting behind on their work (34%), believe no one else at their company can do the work while they're out (30%), they are completely dedicated to their company (22%), and they feel they can never be disconnected (21%).
If you identify with any of those sentiments it might be a good idea to examine them more closely---ideally while on vacation. "A vacation is really good for your mind," says Tierney, "because doing new things stimulates dopamine activity in your brain, which gives you more optimism and more energy." That same brain activity is associated with falling in love, he says, "So it's a nice way to reignite a romance or build any kind of relationship."
And if your fear is still overcoming the obvious benefits of taking time off, consider what the cold, hard data shows. "People who take more vacations get more raises," says Tierney, "and they get more promotions at work."

The two prominent, family-owned marine entities have recently signed a Joint Venture agreement. The essence is in harnessing the power, assets and skills that each brings, and already it has proven to be a great success.
In a way, the giant winch from a tugboat that has a 70-tonne bollard pull, seen here 'flying' through the sky symbolizes the opportunities. Previously it would have had to have been trucked off for specialist attention, or they would have had to send people to SCM to work on it, and bring all their own equipment to achieve the outcome. Now it is all based out of the one locale, and this will have both productivity and cost benefits.
Interestingly, once upon a time Halliday's were charged with looking after the turning gear of the now defunct Rozelle Bridge that is right out the front of Sydney City Marine, and adjacent to the far more imposing Anzac Bridge. In a way, it is all very apt, for here the new scenario brings them right back to the water's edge; full circle as it were.
You can find Sydney City Marine here, and Halliday Engineering here, or if you are coming from the water, just duck your nose around that famous bridge in Rozelle.


NUNEZ-REGUEIRO, Paz y GUERRA, María Filomena. THE SILVER EARRINGS OF NORTHERN PATAGONIA: THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE HENRY DE LA VAULX COLLECTION (1896) TO FORM, TECHNOLOGY AND METALLURGY. Chungará (Arica) [online]. 2016, vol.48, n.2, pp.331-345. Epub 04-Abr-2016. ISSN 0717-7356. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-73562016005000011.
Previous studies conducted on indigenous jewellery from Patagonia have focused on collections from Araucania (Centre-South of Chile), and to a smaller degree on the 19th-century silver production from the Eastern Andean cordillera. This work presents the results obtained from the study of the silver earrings collected by Henry de La Vaulx in Valentín Saygüeque's camp (1830-1903). Saygüeque was a cacique (chief) renownedfor the monetary andjewellery treasure he had accumulated prior to his military defeat of 1882, period during which he led a group of mixed huilliche, pehuenche, pampa and tehuelche origins who controlled the "País de las Manzanas" (the Land ofApples) (province of Neuquén, Argentina). The formal, technological and chemical analysis of the collection kept at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris offers a first summary of a geographically and chronologically contextualized silver production, and provides analytical criteria for the dating of native jewellery.

Today my RSS reader NetNewsWire reseted itself, I lost all the feeds (500+) I've been collecting in the past years. I don't know what happened, but all I get was the default feed list: mac.com, BBC, Wired etc. First of all, I said bye to NetNewsWire and removed it from my computer. Although I like its clean and fast interface, I can't take this serious error.
Then I started to look for new feed readers.
Google Reader. Well I use it sometimes, but it is very slow for my reading. Also it manages the feed list really badly. For example, it uses RSS icon after RSS icon to represent the feeds, very bad. I can't scan them easily. I think Google Reader developers are just lazy, why not just use feeds' own 16×16 icons like many other readers do. Share, share with a note, star, tag are necessary for large-scale conversations (Greg Smiths's post). But these features overlap with the services I already effectively use: Del.icio.us, Twitter, etc.
Attensa. Works quite fast, but it has a poorly designed visual interface that I don't want to stare at much. Attensa's AttentionStream technology combines content (e.g, authors, titles, tags) with your attention to provide a relevancy ranking. Sounds exciting but the interface does not surface this "underlying" technology well. Place of the numbers, color saturation, contrasts, and font size are all poorly composed I think. It may get better if I use it more, but current prioritized lists are not relevant to my interests. If you do machine learning, please show it, show the progress, what you learn about me.
NewsGator. Slow and poor information design. It has some filtering through AideRSS, which ranks feed items based on comments, Del.icio.us history, Diggs, Tweets, etc. But this filtering does not make much sense to me, because the popularity based ranking models can not match my diverse interests well. Also I read my favorite feeds just in time, so as a paradox, items are probably being ranked after I read them.
Fav.or.it. Tried a little bit, its interface is just confusing. Too much unnecessary information here and there. Comment reading is good. Integration with existing sharing services (Del.icio.us, Twitter etc.) is good. Reading experience is bad.
FeedEachOther. Many features, poor information design. Comment reading good, friend connection good, feed list (OPML) sharing good, readability bad. I don't care much about feed recommendations, because I already find interesting and related feeds as I use the web. Again locked in sharing, no integration with existing services.
There are many readers out there, these are the ones that I found interesting enough to give it a try. There are also custom home pages (Netvibes, iGoogle, Live.com etc.) that act as readers, I just can't touch those at all. Every reader has one or two unique feature that is good, but none of the readers is good enough to help me deal with the complex information flows. If you use something good, please post it in the comments. For now, I think I will stop reading feeds.
Update: Checking some of the console based unix feed readers on this list.
* Images above are shots from a sketch based on a flocking algorithm that I was playing with recently.
I try to use NetNewsWire every time someone mentions it, and I really appreciate the speed and usability of a native desktop client for RSS. But I got used to using Google Reader in any browser on any platform (iPhone, computer, vt-100 terminals) I just can't find a better solution for synchronization and ubiquity.
eger mac kullaniyorsan ki oyle gibi vienna'yi bir dene baya basit ve kullanisli (http://www.vienna-rss.org/vienna2.php) ayrica google reader bence gercekten cok basarili ve hizli bir feed reader. sahsen kisa yollarina ve herseyine okadar cok alistimki baska feed reader kullanamiyorum.
@cfq thanks, well as I said I don't find Google Reader fast enough and don't like its locked in sharing features.
@kelepce hat?rlatt???n iyi oldu. NetNewsWire Light kullan?rken Vienna'ya denemeye ba?lam??t?m. Her?eyden önce aç?k kaynakl? olmas? umut verici, ancak NetNewsWire kadar h?zl? de?il ve arayüzü biraz problemli (yukar?da sayd???m pek çok problem var).
anladim. ben sahsen vienna pek kullanmadim sadece kurdum. "newslife" (http://www.thinkmac.co.uk/newslife/) diye bir rss reader var ama parali olmasi cok anlamsiz. ayrica bir de "rss menu" (http://www.edot-studios.com/webgroups2/index.php?menu_item=212) var ama pek ilgilenecegini sanmiyorum. onun disinda da pek fazla bir alternatif yok ne yazikki benim bildigim. bu arada google reader icin bahsettigin yavasliktan kastin tam olarak ne anlayamadim ama browserinla alakali olabilir bu. ornegin firefox 2'de biraz hantal olmasina karsin safari'de daha iyi.
vienna gayet iyi. ama netweswire ?n newsgator deste?i vard? san?r?m tüm feed listesini newsgator üzerinde yedekliyordu.
I use RSSOwl and haven't had any problems of it losing feeds. Best of all it's open-source and cross-platform. Not so good is that it's java based and thus has a less-than-pretty UI. But it works well enough for me, and integrates well enough with OS X so that I can read the articles I want to within the browser quite easily.
bugun yeni bir feed reader'dan haberim oldu, su an deniyorum. adobe air platformu uzerine gelistirilmis gayet kullanisli ve farkli bir yapisi var.
@kelepce yes Google Reader is faster on Safari, but not fast enough. I especially don't like the way feed lists are organized.
@matrushka NetNewsWire + NewsGator integration is not visible.
I assume it will be slow because of Java.
@kelepce Snackr is interesting, but I if it is bugging you every time a new feed comes, not a good idea. I prefer not to keep my reader open, I'd rather check it out two three times a day. When I open my reader, what I want to see is not everything at once but the most important ones at first.

Project: With this project, C. Orru aimed to use the RT-QuIC and eQuIC techniques which she helped develop in Dr. B. Caughey's laboratory, to develop an ante-mortem and pre-symptomatic diagnostic test for human and ovine prion diseases.
Main results and related published data: Following the successful implementation of the technique in Italy, the adaptation of the RT-QuIC to the detection of prion seeding activityin peripheral samples allowed the consortium to develop protocols for prion detection based on RT-QuIC and enhanced-QuIC. For example, the use of truncated substrates and SDS as well as a higher temperature, improved the speed and sensitivity ofsCJD detection in CSFsamples. Recently C. Orru also showed that bacterially expressed recombinant bank vole prion protein (residues 23-230) could be used as a substrate for RT-QuIC detection of prions in several species (human, cattle, sheep, cervids and rodents). In addition, discrimination between classical and atypical L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy,classical and atypical Nor98 scrapie in sheep, and sporadic and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, could be performed using the bank vole substrate.

"Romero needs to make rent"
At 70 years of age, director George A. Romero has furiously worked the zombie genre down to a nub; his lauded achievement with the undead has allowed him such luxuries as a political platform, a steady source of income, and prime position in the film geek hall of fame. His legend firmly established, the bitter truth is that the �Dead� pictures are exceptionally inconsistent, despite commendable attempts to reshape the formula throughout the decades. �Survival of the Dead� is Romero�s sixth adventure with the brain-gobblers, and while more grounded than the misfire of 2008�s �Diary of the Dead,� the new picture reflects a filmmaker fully depleted of ideas, keeping the money train alive while clearly bereft of zombie direction.
The zombie outbreak is still tearing through America, with Sarge (Alan Van Sprang) and his soldiers crossing the countryside looking for a safe haven. Finding an online invitation to the remote Plum Island, Sarge and his squad head off to locate O�Flynn (Kenneth Welsh), a crusty Irishmen who�s looking to return to the secluded land to exact revenge on crustier Irishman, Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick). Fighting over the future of the island, Sarge and company are put in the middle of a longstanding feud, with O�Flynn looking to slaughter all the zombies to preserve what�s left of the population, while Muldoon seeks to keep the dead alive, hoping for some sign of life.
Unlike the previous �Dead� pictures, �Survival� is something of a semi-sequel to �Diary,� establishing continuance through Sarge and his roving band of National Guard recruits. For a film series that�s been habitually shy of establishing timelines, the newfound concern with sequelizing opens a few intriguing opportunities that Romero doesn�t do anything with, perhaps only keeping a connection to the cut-rate �Diary� to further cover his painfully low budget and limited locations.
�Diary� was more experimental in design, attempting to communicate the zombie outbreak with POV footage, allowing Romero to comment on the idea of media ubiquity while still thrashing the undead. �Survival� returns everything back to solid dramatic ground, with the battle for the living contorted into a western of sorts, with a brassy Irish blood feud drawing a line in the sand between those with zombieland certainty and those with hope.
Again, Romero is a capable storyteller with plenty of impish life left in him, but his direction of �Survival� is wooden and lifeless, while his screenwriting is hysterically clumsy, highlighting distractingly awful dialogue and frail characterizations. Romero appears to orbiting another planet with this script at times -- Athena Karkanis appears as Guardsman Tomboy, a character introduced to the film openly masturbating in a jeep while her squad contemplates their next move. Romero established himself long ago as a filmmaker incapable of clear decision-making skills, but �Survival� rings of senility, or perhaps just boredom. Frankly, I feel the same way.
Turning the zombie apocalypse into an Irish jig should�ve opened the screenplay up for serious lunacy, yet �Survival� seems pooped, reluctant to have fun with itself. Even the gore sequences are muted, with CGI replacing the realism (and expense) of practical effects. Some of the action sequences stand out and the make-up retains a few wonderfully graphic moments, but the artificiality is deflating, taking the red, juicy joy out of the genre�s enthusiasm. And this being a film seemingly financed only by hopes and dreams, the computer effects are on the slapdash side, squashing the suspense.
I suppose �Survival� has something to say about the state of the world, but Romero�s infamous social subtext is buried miles beneath layers of dreadful acting and ridiculous plotting. The director has worked over zombies since 1968, but the energy clearly isn�t there anymore. �Survival of the Dead� is graceless and shoddy, making zombie killing, the sport of kings and nerds, actually difficult to sit through.
