This segment of highway has been bypassed by the Halcombe Hill deviation, and has been the scene of several crashes over the years and in recent times some very serious ones. Work to realign the New England Highway north of Aberdeen commenced in June 2006 and was completed in 2007, and involved a new rail overbridge over the main north railway, widened pavements with additional lanes, approach fills, overlay of existing pavement, tie-ins, culvert and access tracks at Halcombe Hill near Aberdeen, 14.73km to 16.390 km North of Muswellbrook, in the Upper Hunter Shire. The old highway alignment has become a local access road. Ridge Consolidated Pty Ltd was engaged as the successful principal contractor.
The geological data for Singleton indicated that the proposed reinforced walls were underlain with undifferentiated Permian siltstone, sandstone and conglomerate of the Maitland Group with overlying quaternary gravel, sand silt and clay on the lower slope and floodplains.
The system adopted for the reinforced true bridge abutment walls and approaches was the RECO square shaped TerraPlus® precast concrete facing panel system. Please note all bridge abutments loadings and crash barrier loads were to be taken by the adopted system. The reinforced soil walls were constructed directly adjacent to the railway track corridor and all staff required associated RISI training.
Retaining Solutions scope of works involved the installation of: concrete footings; panels; corner units; REHas soil reinforcement; sample tests strips; gravel encapsulated drains; cement stabilised medium to foundation treatment to underside of bridge sill beam; placement /compaction/profiling of batters directly above wing walls; placement/compaction/conformance of 1000mm thick cement stabilised layer directly beneath reinforced concrete sill beam; placement, spreading and compaction of imported select backfill (crusher dust) used within the reinforced fill zone.


It started out as a friendly wager, but turned into so much more! Cpl. David Murphy, a Texas State Trooper, had participated in the Area 12 Polar Plunge for Area 12 for the last 2 years. This year, there was a challenge issued by first time plunger, Jay Fonville, Captain of the Lorena Fire Department and "Guns vs. Hoses" was born. The Challenge - Whoever raised the most money for Area 12 got the honor of throwing a pie in the face of the not so lucky, "loser"! Between the two of them they raised close to $2,000 with David being the clear winner. And the opportunity to smash the pie in Jay's face. It was all in good fun and Area 12 was the definitely the winner with these two men on it's team! Oh, and the challenge has already been issued for NEXT year's plunge!! Stay tuned.

Digital disruption and the old firms
Monday, 9 Nov 2015
by cheryl yeoh
With the old way of doing business being increasingly disrupted by technology and new business models, what will happen to the established firms that grew big in the 20th century?
AT the recent Innovation Awards & Summit 2015 by The Economist in Hong Kong, I represented Malaysia and engaged in a lively debate with Steve Monaghan, AIA's regional director.
I was tasked with arguing against the motion on whether Asia's established firms — the "old guards" — could survive the era of digital disruption and out-innovate the younger startups. The following are excerpts from the debate:
Most of the big firms that have been around for decades in Asia are family businesses or conglomerates. They are generally companies of more than 20 years, such as the state-owned-enterprises in China, the keiretsu in Japan and the chaebol in Korea. They're sometimes referred to as "dinosaurs."
As the term "innovation" has been overused in many ways, for the purposes of this debate, let me offer my definition so that we are all on the same page: Innovation is about creating new solutions to new problems, and is meant to disrupt existing industries and business models.
Although big firms in Asia have done well in the past (for example, Toyota invented lean manufacturing and Samsung's mobile devices have dominated the Android market), the argument today is whether these old Asian firms are innovative enough compared to 1) its western counterparts and 2) startups around the world (Tencent, Alibaba, Uber, Facebook, etc), and I would argue that they're not.
Samsung is constantly fighting for market share with Apple, and mostly copying their innovations, and now is increasingly challenged by Xiaomi, a relatively young upstart. Nintendo struggled to transition into next generation consoles and mobile gaming, and are now eclipsed by companies such as GREE and Gungho.
These incumbents have struggled to move quickly and would have to adapt or die. I believe most will die.
When 90% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average constituents have changed over the past 50 years, it's obvious that innovation happens when small fish eats big fish.
I frame my arguments based on three points: ROI, DNA and data.
ROI: Most established firms are public and measured on short-term quarterly financials. This makes it tough for corporates to move fast enough against their challengers as they risk cannibalising their core business. They also have to fight internal politics for resources and mindshare.
Even if they did invest and eventually acquire some startups, the heavy dinosaur culture will end up killing the startup once inside. Big companies are run by salarymen and women. Bureaucracy, risk aversion and current compensation structures simply doesn't financially incentivise big companies to innovate.
DNA or tradition: Asia especially is a land never conquered by institutional shareholders. About 67% of Asia's biggest conglomerates are state- or family-run. Unfortunately, today, 65 of Asia's state-owned firms have lost a trillion dollars in value since 2007.
Their downfall is attributed to: dependency on state lending policies, lack of accountability to outside investors, and not being nimble enough to cope with dynamic markets. In fact, this risk is highest in banking and telcos. Japan's mobile phone operator, NTT DoCoMo, has struggled to keep up.
In China, Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi have all secured banking licences to take on the country's four state-owned banks. As firms mature and compete in global markets, the Asian conglomerate model of protectionism has to be reformed.
Data: While most big companies have a large user base and copious amounts of data, data has never been central to the old guard's strategy and culture in making product or marketing decisions.
In smaller more agile startups, data is constantly used to run experiments and validate new ideas. This results in better data-driven decisions. The Ubers, WeChats and Facebooks of today are valued as data companies to justify the premiums in valuation. Big companies will not be able to catch up to this.
By definition, innovation requires new thinking. It's very difficult for an incumbent to seed innovation from within. In fact, it's almost impossible. Even if corporate incubators are successful, these so-called innovations are still bolted to the core businesses.
Any big company R&D spend goes to incremental improvements: how to make existing products cheaper, faster, better. Startups will completely disrupt existing business models and make current competition irrelevant.
For established companies in Asia to survive, they have to firstly de-establish themselves, forcing a complete reinvention. Therefore, Asia's established firms will NOT survive in its current shape and form. Even Google boldly restructured itself into Alphabet. It's no longer just a search company, but a company with moonshot projects.
This move was crucial for Google's own survival over the next 50 years. A startup's biggest advantage is its agility.
As John Rice, vice chairman at General Electric (GE) and panelist at The Economist Summit, puts it: "We have to be an agile dinosaur... We have to go through a process to really rethink how we want the company to be in the 21st century. We cannot remain attached to the factors that contributed to our success in the 20th century. We have to change."
When 900 executives were asked when disruption is expected to impact their industry, the average time was 3.1 years. Incumbents now face the "innovator's dilemma."
"Premature abandonment of the core" is the agony of most market leaders. Business models that make them good now actually make them bad at disruption. Most still have considerable value they can and should extract from digitising operations, so they play defensive.
But traditional profit pools are leaking. Competitive dynamics — such as unpredictability, rapid acceleration, recombination of the value chain — place a premium on foresight, experimentation, and fast execution. Economic conditions such as free trade and global e-commerce; New social trends; how social networks have become our primary communication mode, have fundamentally changed the way we work.
New technologies like self-driving cars, NEST, and drones are emerging from new firms who can attract the best talent, not dinosaurs. "Economic rent" is now flowing from incumbents to challengers, from traditional cable to Netflix, from taxi's to Uber, from hotels to Airbnb.
As society moves up Maslow's hierarchy of needs, old Asian firms who achieved riches from providing basic infrastructure are no longer relevant. While boardrooms can identify the need to change, it's rarely translated into action. New global firms who can appeal to the "self-actualisation needs" of the rising middle income class, will prevail.
If big established firms are dinosaurs, startups are like leopards who CAN change its spots quickly. Many of Asia's dinosaurs do not have the courage and foresight to embark on such radical transformations.
To conclude, it was unanimously agreed that change is most important for innovation. Ong Chih Ching, chairman and executive director at the Singapore-based KOP Limited shared: "The biggest enemy is change. But if you want to be innovative, to a certain extent you have to change."

Justice For Officer Darren Wilson
We again interrupt radicalandright's 3-part series on the civil wars currently raging in the Ukraine, Palestine and Iraq to continue with the subterranean American revolutionary civil war that recently erupted in Ferguson, Missouri.
Regular visitors to this website will know that we assert that the USA is in the throes of a revolution resulting from the ascension to power of a Ruling Class. Since its foundation and thanks to its Constitution, the USA has never before been ruled by a Class. The evolution of the Leftist Media Class in the 1960/70's, controlling news and entertainment for the unsuspecting masses, and its natural alliance with Leftists in the Public Service Unions and Government workforce, African/American malcontents and the Leftists of Academia, has enabled the Media Class to capture and usurp the power of government and Courts. Consequently America now has a Ruling Class which operates through the Democrat Party, the Presidency, a politicized Judiciary and a lawless government bureaucracy. Control of these sources of power has enabled the Media Class to push through a stealthy, speedy and astonishingly shocking revolutionary agenda.
President Obama is, above all, the tool of the Media Class, not of its allies. It was the billionaires of Hollywood who selected him and abandoned Hillary Clinton prior to 2008. It is likely that the Clintons had more supporters in the ranks of the public service unions and government workers and even in the Democrat Party but Bill Clinton had antagonized the billionaire homosexuals of Hollywood and elsewhere. Obama made many visits to Hollywood in 2007, where we believe he reassured America's richest elite that, once in office, a homosexual and libertine agenda would be his priority. He had personal attributes that Hollywood found reassuring, including narcissism, unlimited ambition, a desire for the good things in life, an ability to lie with sincerity and conviction, no respect for the law, hostility and resentment towards America and its people that was sure to play well with most African American voters and a REVOLUTIONARY Leftist education. Having the attributes of an actor and few moral principles were clearly appealing personality traits to Hollywood people.
It is important to remember that although Obama nurses resentment towards successful races (primarily Whites and Asians) he is not genuinely sympathetic to America's Blacks. Like his Media Class masters, he views the unsuccessful Black masses as gullible voters and readily available street troops who can be easily aroused. It is vitally important that counter-revolutionaries should realize that the Democrat Party is a tool and not a power of itself. Pelosi, Reid and the rest occupy their positions in the public sphere only as long as the Media Class permits. They, and Obama, are always dependent on a protective MSM – except that they are more vulnerable than Obama. The Media Class has more invested in him and it cannot afford for him to fail in the public's mind. The rest of the Democrat Party leaders, talentless and unappealing, are easily replaceable.
All this must be borne in mind when assessing the current unrest in Ferguson (and the events surrounding the recent Trayvon Martin episode). So too, must the current unemployment situation in America. Under a Republican Administration, widespread unemployment would have merited obsessive Media outrage, a constant MSM barrage of 'unacceptable' statistics and a daily narrative of how unemployment was hitting the Black community hardest. Given however that the Media Class' own man has had 6+ years in the White House, and that America's current economic situation is the result of policies that satisfy its allies in Government employment and Academia, the scope of joblessness is concealed by the MSM. America's contemporary masses, Balkenized by immigration; misinformed and indoctrinated in school and college; distracted by TV sport and Soaps; anaesthetized by narcotics; degraded and brainwashed by Pop culture; addicted to the trivia of Facebook; and emotionally absorbed by dog worship, exist oblivious to the real state of their Nation.
America's Blacks are hardest hit by unemployment, for they are the least equipped to work. Never mind, for the Ruling Class (which could care less about anything other than the homosexual agenda and the destruction of the hated and feared Christian morality) and its allies bestow palliatives in the form of food stamps, cell phones and other tax-payer-funded benefits. They also, through MSM propaganda, Academic outpourings and a Leftist-dominated public school system, continually re-enforce the notion that this idle, subsistent life-style is the result of injustice, bigotry and White racism. However, for America's urban Blacks, the economic success of recent Asian immigrant arrivals provides an unpleasant reminder that Blacks are stuck on the bottom rung of the ladder. Furthermore, the fruits of welfare do not adequately compensate for the sense of economic inferiority that lurks, even in the ghetto. Add to this the inevitable consequences of dysfunctional 'family' life and a nihilistic culture that breeds violent and rapacious predators and the results are what we are seeing in Ferguson – an explosive underclass awaiting a spark.
The riots and looting in Ferguson were not lighted by the Democrat Party nor by Leftist and racist agitators, though the latter were quickly on the scene. The Democrat Party rarely if ever initiates anything, but simply trails behind the Media Class agenda. It is the MSM that sets the daily political agenda of the Media Class and makes its own news. In Ferguson, as last year in Florida, the MSM (always marching in a remarkable lockstep that is the conclusive evidence of a Class agenda at work) saw an opportunity to set several birds flying with one stone. The killing of Blacks by Whites is a rare occurrence and has been for the last 30 or more years. The norms are Blacks killing Blacks, followed by Blacks killing Whites and Asians. Remarkably, Blacks rarely attack and murder Latinos, despite living cheek by jowl in big cities. The explanation may be seen demonstrated in prison life. Latinos are not guilt-ridden like Whites nor are they passive like Asians and so take immediate and brutal revenge. In any case the MSM strives to manufacture a public perception of Blacks and Latinos being united as 'people of color'.
The birds set flying in Ferguson included the MSM's regular reinforcement of the myth that White oppression of Blacks has never ended. The second was that Whites must remain burdened with the guilt of slavery. The third and over-riding MSM motive for igniting racism in Ferguson is the approach of the November elections. The Senate is at risk of falling to Republicans, putting at risk Obama's program of packing the Federal and Supreme Court with Justices hostile to the Constitution. The Black voting base and brainwashed guilt-ridden young college Whites must both be energized. Fourthly, public attention must be diverted from the disastrous consequences of 6 years of Obama's chickens coming home to roost. Lastly, but not to be overlooked, is that revolutions- even the stealthiest- ignite violence. The riots in Ferguson not only enabled Black mobs to do a little redistribution of wealth and vent their rage at Asian shopkeepers but they also gave Red mobs an opportunity to intimidate the Classes deemed historically obsolete.
In past articles we have regularly written about the brazen intimidation and demoralization of law-abiding people that is at the heart of any modern revolutionary movement. Ferguson in August must have been the scene of innumerable crimes against both property and persons. Apart from a few token arrests and ultimately even fewer prosecutions, these will go unrecorded and unpunished. Probably, Brown's fellow robber of the Asian store and much-reported lying 'witness', will also go unpunished. Crime statistics never include the myriad crimes of Black rioters. Brown's 'captured-on-video' robbery is not only dismissed as irrelevant by the MSM and the Justice Department but – and this demonstrates the power of the Media Class and its Leftist allies to turn reality and morality upside down –any mention of it is deemed to be unfair, racist and a smear on his character. The latest MSM news bulletins reporting that his funeral will take place tomorrow not only do not mention that he was a robber but shamelessly claim that he was about to commence college in the coming week.
Nowhere in the MSM is there a mention of the Asians who have lost their property and livelihood to the looters. Only in the alternative media can one learn that the little Asian shop assistant who Brown disdainfully manhandled when helping himself to his goods, has lost his job because local Blacks suspect him of 'snitching' to the police when robbed. The poor man has protested his 'innocence' of snitching but to no avail. The shop owner, desperate to appease Ferguson's Black mob, is vocal in his reassurances that the man no longer works there. The little man, it is claimed, has gone into hiding, as has Police Officer Darren Wilson. Scrawled over buildings in Ferguson are the revolutionary boasts that "Snitches get stitches". No MSM reports this!
The most glaring evidence that the Media Class and its allies are now confident of their powers is the fact that, as in the Trayvon Martin case, they can select a violent criminal and remake him a victim worthy of martyrdom. At the same time they can take the unfortunate citizen who they have selected as the 'fall guy' and turn him into a permanent fugitive. Officer Wilson's side of the story has found no place in the MSM. It is possible that Wilson, who was clearly doing his public service duty when he confronted Brown and his fellow robber, lost his 'cool' when attacked and subsequently fired his gun recklessly. If he did, what normal citizen can blame him? But the facts, once they are released, will probably absolve him of any guilt. We already know that he did not shoot Brown in the back as alleged and trumpeted by the MSM from day one, and now wholly downplayed by the same MSM. We now know that Brown's accomplice in crime, and the MSM's much-quoted 'witness', was a liar as well as a criminal.
Those discerning citizens who look beyond the MSM for news and facts, will be aware that this whole Ferguson episode is an outrageous affront to common sense. Even if Wilson 'lost his cool' there was no justification for protest marches, let alone days of rioting and brazen looting. Yet the MSM has succeeded in affronting common sense. Obama, Holder and numerous Democrat toadies have publicly thrown their support behind the rioters and looters yet I have yet to find one Republican politician who has come to Wilson's defense and demanded his right to justice. This is the power of the Media Class and its MSM!
We hope that Mark Levin, Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh, having read this article, will produce a bumper sticker with the words "Justice for Officer Wilson!" In the meantime I will be writing and displaying my own.
Please note that in too-White Napa there has been no looting!

The great jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown playing 'Clifford's Axe'. This was poorly recorded at a live concert in California. This is really an improvisation on the chords of Gershwin's "The Man I Love" and Brown creates an endless stream of little melodies. Max Roach on drums, George Bletzel on bass, and the outstanding pianist Carl Perkins gave first-class backing. Unfortunately both Brown and Perkins had very short lives.

That was another brilliant article. Had not heard about the poor little Asian fellow who got fired because of the store owner's fear of the mob. That is such a shame. Once the media get their narrative going, they care little for "facts". Your point about the lack of any Republicans calling for justice for Wilson and the victims of the rioting is spot on. They are miserable cowards. Keep up the good work.

The battle liberals have secretly hoped for is finally enjoined. Their "secret weapon" now deployed, they are convinced that the long-promised blue wave is now an inevitability.
Ironically, similar to election night in 2016, when they sat befuddled at losses in state after state that they had assumed were theirs for the keeping, a game now unfolds that I believe leads to a second late election night loss in a row.
So how will that happen?
As I sat in the green room at Fox News on Friday waiting for my hit on Outnumbered Overtime with Harris Faulkner it felt like a surreal time-warp. It reminded me of the days when I would be waiting in the green room to go on Megyn Kelly's daytime show on Fox News—the exact same hour of the day. The exact same President was speaking on the green room video monitors: Barack Obama.
I had to keep checking my watch to see how long before I needed to make sure I was out of make-up in time to be on set.
But there droning over my shoulder was President Trump's predecessor, breaking precedent and going after his successor in full throated, self-focused hubris that marked his presidency in large measure. On Friday he referred to himself 102 times.
But it's not his self absorption that causes most people to judge his time in office as being so different than the current administration. In reality it was his lackluster, unimpressive performance in the arena of public policy.
If ever there were two polar opposites in personality, policy, and performance, these are the two presidents that define such contrast.
For all of the "public decorum" that President Obama is supposed to exhibit, his polices—the part of his presidency that actually impacted people—had seriously negative effect. And for all of the supposed lack of "decorum" President Trump is reported to exhibit—his policies have done many things Obama's policies never could.
Neither of these two men are on the ballot in November, yet this election is the biggest heavy-weight fight of the political modern era—and in some way dwarfs 2016.
For whatever success she had in stalling out Bernie, and making her second—and very much (in her mind)—entitled run for office, the Hillary vs. Trump match-up wasn't the fight liberals in America wanted to see. They wanted Obama vs. Trump—man on man. They wanted to have Obama make the case that his socialist leanings were the enlightened path for tomorrow, and that the dingy "Make America Great Again" hat wearing rednecks would finally be put to pasture.
They needed Obama to go public and explain his bizarre theory (which he repeated on Friday & Saturday) that "progress takes time." They needed someone with "great 'people' skills" to lull the masses back to sleep with syrupy words, flowing phrases, and sophisticated theories that the American people had to trust and believe would make the world better. This is the same person, the greater multitude of white hairs aside, who spoke from the University of Illinois podium on Friday.
They believe that Trump's candor, crassness, and willingness to characterize his opponents in a form of "punching back" that few are used to seeing in the public space would be such a contrast that Obama would of course have to win just on his merits of style.
The only problem there is Trump's policies have unleashed one of the greatest seasons of economic "new beginnings" one may never again see in a generation.
Progress didn't take time, it has taken work. Trump works something like fifteen hours a day. His drug of choice is making progress. He came into office feeling a desperation of the American voter who had all but lost hope that their country would ever return to the leadership place it deserves in the world community. Trump made progress by rolling back what is turning out to be thousands of Obama dictates. Dictates that had seen devastating slowdowns on American industry, energy, and enterprise. Once deregulation got rolling, economic reforms, tax system overhauls, and removal of the Obamacare mandate helped businesses explode. While Obama never oversaw a day in the markets where even one "all time high" occurred. President Trumps has seen "all time highs" occur on 99 of his first 600 days in office. The truth is, the markets and economy had adjusted to Obama's overbearing regulations. They had figured out work-arounds. But when Trump took off the handcuffs the thoroughbred of our economic engine bolted, and really has yet to look back.
But economics were only part of this battle of the lodestars.
In foreign policy, Obama told the American people he was right, enlightened, and within his appropriate authority to give our enemies in Iran $750 billion dollars, and more or less allow them to write an agreement in relationship to nuclear pursuits that we more or less rubber stamped. Trump has torn up that agreement and not a dime of American dollars has flowed to the terrorists since he has.
Obama was fine with letting more jobs flow overseas, and showed zero interest in reviving American manufacturing (formerly a core component of the Democratic message.) Trump not only talked about bringing the jobs back, we've watched as a nation as these factories are re-opening, and new ones are being built.
Obama speaks like a white collar elitist, but affects his delivery from midwest farmer to inner city preacher depending on the changing expectations of his audience.
Trump speaks like a regular person, feeling real feelings about the condition his nation has fallen into over the past several decades and why he works fifteen hours a day to fix it.
Obama hid his radical socialism enough for church-going union households in the past to look past it. Trump's fair market contrast demonstrates such white hot difference in the two theories that it exposes everything for what it is, as it is.
So the battle is enjoined.
Obama's vision of a progressive America—government controlling everything from home temperature to your car tire's air pressure, forcing you to believe in sexual practices you may find offensive, and getting you to pay for all of it with increased taxes at every turn—is being cast once again by the man himself.
Trump's version of a strong America—fair markets, free markets, greater religious freedoms, lower taxes, a safer world, and better deals for our workers—has actually accomplished more "fundamental transformation" of the American experience in 600 days than Obama did in 8 years.
Neither are on the ballot. Yet this midterm election is very clearly a fight to the rhetorical death between the two.
America will decide in November.

Before digging deeper into this subject it is very essential for us to actually know or understand what exactly culture shock is? In simple and straightforward words culture shock is an individual's personal feelings, or experiences which he, or she may face while moving from one place to another place or country. This bewilderment may result in experiencing some unfamiliar socio-cultural norms or behaviors. It often becomes very difficult for you to dealing with culture shock while traveling to another country or place. There aren't any proven techniques to completely prevent or eliminate this problem.
What are major indicators of culture shock?
Physical and emotional indicators of culture shock are pretty easy to spot .Lethargic and indifferent feelings to the beauty around you..Drastic increase or decrease in appetite -or even comforteating. Excessive feelings of sadness. Homesickness. Intense feelings of loneliness (even though you are surrounded by many people). Showing signs of dissatisfaction in general. Fear of host country. Irritability. Showing bad temper without any obvious or apparent reasons. Feelings of selflessness and insecurity. Constantly thinking and idealizing home country. Showing no signs of good sense of humor (assuming you had one in the first place 😛 .
It certainly is a harsh reality that dealing with culture shock while traveling to a new country isn't an easy task to cope with. Now we will discuss how you can cope with this psychological and social condition effectively.
You can also minimize the bad effects of culture shock by finding a nice and calm place to spend your leisurely time.Isolation is not the solution to your problem so try to indulge yourself in some good and new relationships and activities with the people of new country.Try to learn new things from new culture and its people.Take new things in a good way and as an experience for life.Read books and watch documentaries to understand the social and cultural differences between you and the people of host country.
I think it is important not to try to see too much too quickly. On your first day in a new place, spend a good few hours sat in a fairly crowded place and just watch and listen to the conversations and activities going on around you. Try and soak in the atmosphere like a sponge!


The Grimes' USA Chart shows us finishing out a Venus-Moon period and entering Venus-Mars on July 1st 2004. The last time we ran those periods was 120 years ago when the Venus-Moon period lasted from Oct 31st 1882 thru Jun 30th 1884, and the Venus-Mars period lasted from Jul 1st 1884 thru Aug 31st 1885.
One of the great benefits that mundane astrology gives us, especially when it comes to national charts over 120 years old, is the ability to look back historically and see what type of events occurred.
The second thing I do is note the major transits that will transpire during the upcoming period and then look at the last time they occurred and see what they brought.
Taking a list of events that occurred the last time we ran a given period, alongside a list of events that occurred the last time similar transits transpired, we can see the confluence and conclude which events are likely to recur in the upcoming year.
So, we know that we will live throughout the latter part of Venus-Moon and enter the first 6 months of the Venus-Mars cycle. Which major events occurred during the last similar time frame of 1884?
Feb 19th - series of tornadoes hit 7 states, leaving 800 dead.
Mar 3rd - Virginia coal mine explosion, leaving 112 dead.
Apr 3rd - Wreck of Daniel Steinman on Nova Scotia coast, leaving 100 dead.
Mar 27th - first long distance telephone call made.
Jul 4th - France gives Statue of Liberty to United States.
Aug 10th - magnitude 5.5 earthquake hits New York City.
The Berlin Act created the rules for "effective occupation" of conquered lands, ensuring that the division of Africa would take place without war among the European powers.
"By late 1884 Taiwan was effectively cut off from the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan operations of the Sino-French War came to an end in October 1884 after the northern port towns of Keelung and Tamsui were ceded to the French. The bloody year-long conflict cost the lives of 10,000 Chinese and roughly 2,100 French troops." - Taipei Times.
Mid-June thru mid-July - Transit Saturn is near the 12th house equal bhava madhya (EBM) and Jupiter is near the 2nd house EBM. Because the sextile aspect of Saturn is used extensively in Vedic Astrology, this means that both Saturn and Jupiter , the 8th and 6th lords, respectively, will be afflicting the 2nd house.
Leading up to the previously cited transits, between Feb. 1st and mid-June, Rahu is passing over the the 10th house EBM casting its trine aspect on the 2nd house. This is crucial because it puts an extended period of stress on 2nd house matters and then is joined in the barrage of malefic influences by the 6th and 8th lords.
The above also means that the 6th house is equally bothered by the aspects of Rahu and Saturn. Yes, Jupiter also aspects the 6th house, but that serves as a protective influence.
The final placement that is of concern is the continued lingering conjunction of transit Pluto with natal Saturn and Mars in Scorpio.
The last time we saw similar transits was in mid 1945, which marked the ending of WWII. This was a period which saw the suicide of Hitler, Germany's defeat, and the placement of Germany under Allied control, Japan rejects Potsdam surrender and is subsequently nuked, which forces their final surrender.
The last time Pluto conjoined Mars and Saturn in Scorpio was around 1754-56, which was marked by the Anglo-French war in N. America, start of 7 year war, and an earthquake killing over 30000 in Portugal.
severe natural disasters - most likely being earthquakes, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions.
tensions between Anglos and French.
wrapping up of a war effort.
efforts to bring Germany and other European nations under an alliance.
meetings to divide up a conquered land - in this case it is in terms of negotiations for support in exchange for a piece of the contract pie in Iraq.
tensions over Taiwan and China.
conflict between Arabs and Anglos.
possible suicide of national leader (Saddam) discussed.
As you can see, the types of things going on right now are the exact same types of things that went on in the three time periods highlighted (1754-56, 1884, and 1945). Hopefully, you can see how easily and simply this was put together, and how uncannily accurate it is.
Now, and I abhor saying this as I think astrologers who say such things are typically very irresponsible in doing so. But, I would be remiss in not discussing the similarities in the upcoming planetary period with the same period around 1884, and the similarity of the upcoming transits that have so marvelously been mirrored by the past events thus far pointed out. That is the very real danger of a disaster reminiscent of krakatoa (August 1883) or of the dropping of a nuclear bomb (1945). One or both of these types events are in high danger probabilities for 2004, but I feel on a lesser scale than those events mentioned.* Hopefully, 2004 will pass with no such event and you can laugh at this warning along with me.
There also exists the possibility for a major ship sinking, and a mining disaster.
On the more positive side, relations with France and Germany will continue to improve, greater progress in rebuilding Iraq and turning it over to the Iraqis will be on course.
A few notes here. There are no great, precise predictions here. My purpose in this article was to show how to use the past to predict the future. I think you can see now that, when you know what to look for, the past marvelously mirrors the future. I have covered so many areas in such a short space that pinpointing the when and where of each one has had to fall outside the scope of my aims here.
Also, please note how I have used the "energies" more so than the events. For example, the siege of Khartoum, I'm not going to be dumb enough to predict the exact same thing. Instead, what was the broad thing going on? Arabs against Anglo rule. So, it's not hard to see that is what's going on now in Iraq. Obviously then, I'm going to say this particular area of Venus-Moon and Venus-Mars energy is manifesting this time in Iraq instead of the Sudan. One more example, in 1945 Hitler commits suicide as defeat is obvious. What's going on now? Conjecture of Saddam committing suicide after obvious defeat. See how this works? Simple.
What I have demonstrated here is how I have made every previous public prediction .
Here are the keys to the car. Don't get in a wreck.
* I indicated in a subsequent post to my Astrophecy group, in January 2004, as a matter of clarification, that this may simply manifest as a "dirty bomb", since the energies are not as severe as they were in 1945. But, still, the event would be reminiscent of Hiroshima and, perhaps, references/comparisons would be made.


As you all know I'm a huge for of the Star Wars Trilogy. As I was wandering the halls of CES my eyes were drawn to the Nikko booth that was showing an R2-D2 Droid Projector and Chewbacca. So if you want to see Star Wars like you've never seen before watch this piece.
Seriously..... that is bad as hell. As a huge Star Wars fanboy, I want one bad.
I saw this a couple of weeks ago and it brought out the geek in me (doesn't take much), VERY cool. Maybe not $2,500.- cool, but cool nonetheless.
I wonder how WoW will look projected on the wall. And if it can do widescreen with the same clarity as my 20" Dell monitor.
Does it have a built-in DVD player? Just regular DVD or BlueRay or HD?
Yeah the price does kill it for me. Maybe if it were a full sized R2. Oh heck, I'll just wait for the mousebot roomba!
In case you don' t know what a mousebot is, it's that little square robot that Chewbacca growled at on the Death Star... K... Geek moment over.
If roomba made one of those I would definitely buy it!
I used to have one on galaxies that I named "Lemywinks." It seemed appropriate.
Pretty cool for a Star Wars device however for $2500 you can get a better starter HD projector w/ an HD2 chip.
With that said for anyone thinking about getting a HD projector Gears of War is da shizzle on a 120" screen.
That is totally awesome! I want one, but for that price I would have to rescue a princess to afford it.
I think Teddy is right...they need a full sized model that plays HD-DVD and outputs in 1080p resolution. An econo mousebot model would also be cool...especially if it sqeeled and ran away every time you startled it.

Morgan Anderson is a consulting firm in New York City that helps clients find the right kind of advertising agency—or the right kind of agency network—for their marketing communication needs.
Before 2001, the company did not want its name and reputation widely known in the advertising world, because the large multinational agency conglomerates were on a "buying binge" and purchasing small, high-quality agencies that Worldwide Partners did not want to lose.
Worldwide Partners, Inc. is updating its database of advertising agency search consultants, and your company was brought to my attention in the course of my inquiries. I'd like you to know about some recent developments in our network, headquartered near Denver, Colorado, so you can optimize the quality of advice and information you provide to your clients.
Worldwide Partners is the world's largest network of owner-operated marketing communications firms. There are now 83 agencies in 37 countries, and new firms are in the process of joining. An expanding database of account information at Headquartners shows just over 5,200 clients served by network agencies. Worldwide Partners reported billings of $ US 4.1 billion in 2000, making it the 11th largest advertising organization.
The network's legacy makes it unique among other organizations that may otherwise appear similar to Worldwide Partners. Five agencies in the Southwestern U.S. began working together in 1938, effectively serving as one another's branch offices. In the late 1940s, members of the affiliation began to work with ad agencies they had discovered in Europe, and the organization quickly grew to include independent marketing communications firms on every continent—now organized by region, with leadership chosen at annual meetings. There is a strong tradition of sharing industry knowledge that leads to new business and profitable campaigns for clients among Worldwide Partners agencies.
The network became a shareholder corporation early this year, when 81 agencies solidified this longstanding commitment to assist one another when conceptual, logistical, or technical help is needed. That assistance takes the form of constant communication, sometimes routed through Headquarters, and organized and transmitted in a variety of ways: through regular regional and global conferences, and strategy meetings among account executives, creative personnel, media planners and buyers, and a growing number of interactive directors.
Agencies in the network have long enjoyed fast responses to requests for advice and assistance from network experts in various market categories. The ongoing development of interactive capabilities throughout the organization promises to extend the power of shared ideas even further, in terms of the growing number of shared accounts and global business alliances these tools make possible. The speed, flexibility, and collective expertise of the owners and their employees, and the working connections they have established with each other, make the corporation a new model of what a streamlined international advertising organization can be—even though the concept was established long ago.
In a world where companies increasingly need to develop new markets in other countries, marketing messages must be culturally accurate, socially appropriate, and commercially effective—a difficult combination of demands. The local knowledge that agencies communicate with each other guarantees that all these conditions can be met in a cost-efficient ways, and the growing number of shared global accounts the network enjoys shows that it can be done, by independent agencies working together in a de-centralized system.
Worldwide Partners agencies have received awards across all categories in record numbers over the past year, and their creative work is regularly included in prestigious collections based on creative excellence. One agency in our network, Young & Laramore of Indianapolis, Indiana, has decided to withdraw from some local competitions due to the disproportionate number of honors Y&L tends to capture. Other agencies—Sawyer Riley Compton in Atlanta, Archer/Malmo in Memphis, Union in Edinburgh—have also captured record numbers of awards in their national competitions.
I hope that you find some of these observations helpful. My role on the Web team at Headquarters over the past has given me great optimism about the future of the network, and I'd be glad to keep you informed about new developments.
Feel free to call me, if I can answer any questions for you.


Self-published authors choose their own Book Pricing, except for print, where a minimum price is required by CreateSpace. Some authors base their prices only on the length of the books. Others price according to similar length books at the retailers. Many set prices by the royalty rate. Whatever the method, over- and under-pricing books can have an adverse effect on sales.
Yes, authors should value their work. However, setting a book's price higher than the average cost of similar works can mean lost sales, especially for new authors. Readers (buyers) are unlikely to take a chance on someone they have no experience with if the price is above what they normally pay for their auto-buy authors' books.
The days of the free and ninety-nine-cent one-click are fading. Readers (buyers) have come to realize that many self-published books priced below average are often lacking in good writing craft and editing. A well-written and well-edited book is worth more. This strategy doesn't include temporary sale prices and first-book-in-a series perma-free/perma-sale. When an author has published several books in a series, she may choose to make the first book free or a lower price than the rest to gain additional readers. She typically has an established following and can rely on reviews and word of mouth to attract new readers. The lower price is an enticement to buy more books in the series.
So, how does a new author know what price to charge for her book?
Research the formats. Find comparable length and genre books on retail platforms.
If the most common current selling price for a 90K self-published paranormal in e-book format is $4.99, that's usually a good indication of an effective price point. Be sure to set the same e-book price for all retail outlets.
Compare trade paperback prices that are same word count and genre to set the print price. CreateSpace computes a minimum selling price for all print books on their platform, which translates to the minimum selling price on Amazon. Currently, $13.99 to $16.99 is the average price range for 80K to 100K trade paperbacks, but genre does influence the price, so be sure to research.
For multi-published authors with a loyal readership, a lower-priced or free first book (permanent or temporary) can be an effective marketing tool. A lower-priced or free book with no others in the series available means the author often gains nothing from the pricing strategy. The reader may love the first book, but she has no second book to buy. With today's immediate gratification attitude, the reader may or may not be patient enough to wait for the next release. Timing and patience are very important.
Pricing for boxed sets should be set lower than the total cost of buying each book separately. The boxed set concept is based on the buyer getting a better price by buying more than one book at a time. Example: Each book in a three-book series costs $3.99. The total cost to buy them separately is $11.97. The boxed set price can be set from $1.00 to several dollars less than the separate-purchase price. A price of $9.99 is likely to achieve more sales than $11.97 to buy each book.
Do a little research before setting a selling price. The more a book fits the market, the better the chance for success.
Check off #10! The to-do list is getting shorter!

What is the Teardrop Butterfly Fish's Life Cycle.......................... (need answer-For marine science project Highschool Class) Anonymous
The Teardrop Butterflyfish is a beauty that will tug at your heartstrings with its distinctive 'tearing' eyespot!
The Teardrop Butterflyfish Chaetodon unimaculatus is a widespread species. It ranges from the Indian Ocean at Christmas Island and the Cocos-Keeling Islands of Australia, all the way across the tropical Pacific to the Hawaiian Islands. This is a large handsome fish, reaching up to about 7 3/4 inches (20 cm), with a large hearty appetite to match. With its strong jaws it will eat just about anything on a coral-rich reef from hard and soft corals to all sorts of benthic invertebrates. As it heartily chomps on the delicate polyps of a coral its strong bite will take chunks of the skeleton as well.
This is an attractively colored fish with a bold pattern that's easily recognized. It has a white body with bright yellows along its back and on the dorsal and anal fin. Those same fins are accented with a black vertical band running along the rear edge and there is another black band running through the eye.
However the most distinguishing feature of this butterflyfish, and thus its namesake, is the tearing eyespot on the upper part of its body. The tearing of the eye spot is especially strong in juveniles. Adults become a bit more rugged looking with the tear beginning to fade, or only leaving a slight black smudge. In the largest individuals the mouth also begins to get a bit "deformed" from its voracious feeding habits. Other common names it is known by include Onespot Butterflyfish, Limespot Butterflyfish, One-spot Butterfly, Pacific Teardrop Butterflyfish, and Teardrop Coralfish.
This species is a member of a group of butterflyfishes that tentatively belong to the subgenus Lepidochaetodon, which may eventually become a distinct genus. This is a small group that consists of 8 species. Specimens like the photo above are from Australia and the Pacific islands and have a white ground color, while a very close relative from the Indian Ocean and the western portion of the Indo-Malayan Archipelago are yellow. The Indian Ocean variety are called the Yellow Teardrop Butterflyfish Chaetodon interruptus. The C. interruptus was previously considered a subspecies of C. unimaculatus, but is now considered to be a distinct species due to the yellow ground color and its range.
This Teardrop Butterflyfish is hardy and can be fairly easily adapted to life in the aquarium, making it a good choice for the beginner. In the wild it spends most of its time in heavily populated coral areas eating stony and soft corals, sponge, algae, and polychaete worms (marine worms). With its hearty appetite and broad diet, it will readily accept most foods offered in captivity.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Teardrop Butterflyfish Chaetodon unimaculatus was described by Bloch in 1787. They have a very wide distribution. They are found from in the Indian Ocean at Christmas Island and the Cocos-Keeling Islands of Australia south to central New South Wales, Lord Howe Island, and Rapa Iti Island, north to southern Japan, and then east across the tropical Pacific to to Polynesia including the Hawaiian, Marquesas, Ducie, and Easter Islands. There are also some that occur in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
This species is on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern (LC). They have a wide distribution and a large population. Although they are corallivorous with corals being are a large part of their diet, they have not declined in areas where there has been coral loss and there are no other major threats identified. Other common names they are known by include Onespot Butterflyfish, Limespot Butterflyfish, One-spot Butterfly, Teardrop Coralfish, and Pacific Teardrop Butterflyfish.
This species is a member of a group of butterflyfishes that tentatively belong to the subgenus Lepidochaetodon, which may become a distinct genus. This is a small group consisting of 8 species. It is closely related to the Yellow Teardrop Butterflyfish Chaetodon interruptus. The C. interruptus is found throughout the Indian Ocean and was previously considered a subspecies of C. unimaculatus, but is now considered to be a distinct species. It is a more distant relative of other species in this group like the very popular Klein's Butterflyfish Chaetodon kleinii and the Tahiti Butterflyfish Chaetodon trichrous. However it has been known to hybridize with C. kleinii in the Marshall Islands.
These butterflyfish are associated with coral rich reef areas, occurring on reef flats and exposed fore-reef slopes as well as patchy reefs or pinnacles in lagoons. They are found at depths between 1 - 197 feet (1 - 60 m), though adults are most often found between 65 - 197 (20 - 60 m) deep. They are a timid butterflyfish and generally not common. But when seen the adults are often in small groups of about 3 - 5 individuals or as pairs, and are occasionally seen alone. Juveniles on the other hand, are usually found alone.
Their diet is broad and quite variable depending upon where they occur. They will graze on both soft and hard corals, and when feeding on stony corals will crush and ingest chunks of the skeleton along with the polyps. They feed almost exclusively on Montipora corals in Hawaii, soft leather corals of the Sarcophyton and Sinularia genera in the western Pacific, hard corals in Moorea of French Polynesia, and in other places they feed on a wide range of coral species. They also eat filamentous algae, sponges, tunicates, polychaete worms, larger crustaceans, small clams, and even the feces of fish.
Scientific Name: Chaetodon unimaculatus
Social Grouping: Groups - Adults are usually seen in pairs or small groups, though sometimes are seen alone. Juveniles are solitary.
IUCN Red List: LC - Least Concern
Teardrop Butterflyfish Photo © Animal-World: Courtesy Greg Rothschild
The Teardrop Butterflyfish has the typical butterflyfish shape. It has laterally compressed disc-shaped body and a protruding snout with strong jaws. The dorsal fin is continuous and it has a rounded tail fin. This species can reach a length of about reaching up to about 7 3/4 inches (20 cm). In the largest individuals the mouth begins to get a bit "deformed" from its voracious feeding habits. The lifespan for most of the Chaetodon species is between 5 - 7 years, and can possibly be longer with proper care.
The adult C. unimaculatus has a white ground with bright yellows along its back and on the pelvic, dorsal, and anal fins. There is a black vertical band running through the eye and another along the rear edge of the dorsal and anal fin. As its name aptly implies, there is a dark tear shaped eyespot on the upper part of its body . The tail fin is transparent.
Juveniles are almost identical, except that the tearing of the eyespot is more pronounced, while on adults the tearing fades, becoming just a faint smudge.
Lifespan: 5 years - The average lifespan Chaetodon species is between 5 - 7 years, and possibly longer with proper care.
Fish Keeping Difficulty
This is a durable Butterflyfish once it is acclimated and has a broad natural diet. It will take almost any foods offered in captivity so can be suggested for a beginning aquarist. It is not recommended for reef aquariums however, as is one of the most destructive species of butterflyfish. It will eat any corals, anemones, and mushroom anemones, and will snack on most other invertebrates, possibly even picking at large ornamentals.
Foods and Feeding
The Teardrop Butterflyfish are omnivores, in the wild they feed on a broad range of coral species and other Cnidarians, algae and many non-coralline invertebrates. No special food is needed in the aquarium, they will readily accept a wide variety of foods. Offer Meaty foods, dried flakes, shrimps, and tablets and frozen foods of all kinds including Formula I, Formula II, Angel Formula and spirulina. Several sponge based frozen foods are now available and can also be fed to butterflyfish. Japanese Nori will also be favored. Feed it at least twice a day, and if it is a tiny juvenile feed it three to four times everyday.
Flake Food: Yes
Tablet / Pellet: Yes
Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
Meaty Food: Some of Diet
Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day - Offer various foods quite frequently at first. Once acclimated adults need at least 2 feedings a day and juveniles need 3 to 4.
Aquarium Care
No special care or technique is needed to maintain this fish in the aquarium. Frequent water changes are not necessary, rather normal water changes at 10% biweekly or 20% monthly are fine. Sudden massive water changes can cause trouble.
Water Changes: Bi-weekly - Change 10% biweekly or 20% monthly, avoid sudden massive water changes.
Aquarium Setup
These fish need plenty of space to accommodate their size and to swim. As they can reach a almost 8 inches in length, a 75 gallon tank is the minimum suggested size. The tank should be established and a good algae growth will help in keeping this fish. It should be well decorated with lots of rocks creating numerous places for retreat and lots of rubble. They also need plenty of open space for swimming.
This fish is a coral eater, nipping the polyps of soft and hard coral species as well as crushing and ingesting the skeletons of hard corals. It will also snack on mushrooms and mushroom anemones and will tear apart most other invertebrates it finds. Consequently it is not recommended for reef aquariums.
Suitable for Nano Tank: No
Live Rock Requirement: Typical Plus Hiding Places
Substrate Type: Mix - Sand + Coral
Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting - It can also be kept under bright light as long as some dark areas are provided.
Specific gravity: 1.020-1.025 SG
Brackish: No
Water Movement: Weak - Water movement is not a significant factor. It can tolerate a rather strong flow but slow-moving water is recommended.
Water Region: All - It swims freely and usually spends time in the open water.
Social Behaviors
The Teardrop Butterflyfish is best kept in a large fish only community tank. This fish is non-aggressive to other fish, and will basically ignore its other non-related tankmates. They get along with most other marine fishes, basically just ignoring them, and with moderately aggressive tankmates they are quite capable of holding their own. They can be kept singly, or in pairs or as a small group if the tank is large enough, and with other butteflyfish. They are not suited for the reef aquarium as they will feed on coral polyps, anemones, and a wide range of other invertebrates and crustaceans,
Smaller non-aggressive fishes like cardinalfish, gobies, tilefish, fairy basslets, fairy and flasher wrasses are good candidates as tank mates. Larger and rather territorial angelfish like Pomacanthus and Holacanthus can be kept together with this species as well as other angelfish like members of Centropyge, Apolemichthys, Genicanthus, Chaetodontoplus and Pygoplites can also be good tank mates. Small but very territorial fishes like dottybacks should be avoided. Such fish as Basses or scorpionfish, even if they are small enough, should be avoided as should larger frogfishes that can swallow everything.
Venomous: No
Same species - conspecifics: Yes
Peaceful fish (gobies, dartfish, assessors, fairy wrasses): Safe
Semi-Aggressive (anthias, clownfish, dwarf angels): Safe
Aggressive (dottybacks, 6-line & 8-line wrasse, damselfish): Monitor
Large Semi-Aggressive (tangs, large angels, large wrasses): Safe
Large Aggressive, Predatory (lionfish, groupers, soapfish): Threat
Slow Swimmers & Eaters (seahorses, pipefish, mandarins): Monitor
Anemones: Threat
Mushroom Anemones - Corallimorphs: Threat
LPS corals: Threat
SPS corals: Threat
Gorgonians, Sea Fans: Threat
Leather Corals: Threat
Soft Corals (xenias, tree corals): Threat
Star Polyps, Organ Pipe Coral: Threat
Zoanthids - Button Polyps, Sea Mats: Threat
Sponges, Tunicates: Threat
Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: Threat
Starfish: Threat
Feather Dusters, Bristle Worms, Flatworms: Threat
Clams, Scallops, Oysters: Threat
Copepods, Amphipods, Mini Brittle Stars: Threat
Sex: Sexual differences
No sexual difference is noted for this species. Butterflyfish species studied up to this time indicate that these fish are gonochoristic, meaning that each fish is either a male or a female and they do not change sex.
Breeding / Reproduction
This species has not been cultivated in captivity. In the wild butterflyfish are pelagic spawners that release many tiny eggs into the planktonic water column where they float with the currents until they hatch. Once hatched the fry are in a post-larval where their body, extending from the head, is covered with large bony plates.
Marine butterflyfish have not reportedly been spawned successfully in captivity. There are however, reports of some success in rearing wild collected larvae of some of the corallivorous butterflyfish. It is hoped these captive reared fish will be adapted to accept aquarium foods, and thus broaden the species selections that can be sustained in captivity. For more information see, Marine Fish Breeding: Butterflyfish.
Ease of Breeding: Unknown
The Teardrop Butterflyfish are generally hardy and problems with disease are minimal in a well maintained aquarium. Any additions to a tank can introduce disease, so it's advisable to properly clean or quarantine anything that you want add to an established tank prior to introduction.
Diseases that marine Butterflyfish are susceptible to include Marine Ich(white spot disease), Marine Velvet, Uronema marinum, and Lymphocystis. Some can be treated successfully with medical care or copper drugs, but some species hate sudden changes of water including pH, temperature, or any drug treatment. In the wild a cleaner wrasse (Labroides sp.) will help them by taking parasites from their bodies, however these wrasses are extremely difficult to sustain in captivity. Alternative fish such as Neon Gobies (Gobiosoma spp.) can help them by providing this cleaning service in the home aquarium.
This butterflyfish is a stony coral eater and it can also be sensitive to some drugs. Be sure to observe this fish closely when medicating it, so you can remove it if it shows signs of stress. For information about saltwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.
This fish is generally available online and occasionally in pet stores. It is moderately expensive with prices ranging depending on size and area of origination.

View Full Version : ....HTML code to stop comments-box spam?
...could anyone perhaps be so kind to provide me with some HTML code to stop spam in (blog) comments boxes?
I use MT-Blacklist. It's pretty effective. Stops about 15 spam comments a week.
Forces moderation of anything suspect.
I use wordpress which seems similar to MT - i.e. blacklist and moderation options.
I just got back from holiday to find 700 spam comments. :mad: but easily sorted by adding a new word to the blacklist (from the email address in this case).
I have no clue about coding though!
Also, I think Haloscan comments are fairly spam-free, there was a thread on this before here iirc.

Assim é uma marca de produtos de limpeza da Flora Produtos de Higiene e Limpeza.

História
A marca Assim foi criada em 2005, pela então empresa Assolan, para a comercialização de detergente em pó lava roupas e outros produtos de limpeza.

Com forte campanha de lançamento, a marca tornou-se conhecida rapidamente, e apresentou índices elevados de vendas, em seu período inicial.

Seu principal propósito era combater a marca Omo, do segmento premium e líder no mercado de lava roupas, através de marketing agressivo, preços acessíveis e qualidade similar, porém devido a inconsistências em sua formulação e política de preços elevados nos pontos de venda, a marca não obteve êxito, o que acarretou em altos estoques iniciais, fazendo com que o preço de seus produtos fossem extremamente reduzidos, o que a caracterizou como concorrente do segmento médio.

Cerca de três anos após o seu lançamento, a marca já contava com inexpressiva participação nos meios de divulgação, uma vez que ocorreu um desinvestimento na marca.

Em 2010, alguns de seus produtos foram relançados, com nova comunicação visual nas embalagens e o abandono da marca Assolan, como âncora.

Em outubro de 2011, a Hypermarcas (que sucedeu a Assolan em 2007) vende a marca Assim, juntamente com Mat Inset e outras para a Flora Produtos de Higiene e Limpeza S.A (fabricante dos produtos Minuano, Albany, Francis e outros), por R140 milhões de reais.

Special features include custom branding support, web integration, and a library of licensed music.
Although it originally started life as a tool for helping consumers create personal videos, Animoto is targeting small businesses with a new edition called Animoto for Business.
The service is aimed at companies seeking to create marketing videos that tout their products or services, but that have limited marketing budgets with which to produce them. The offering was shaped by the more than 50,000 business customers that have been using the consumer version of Animoto for this purpose. Examples of some of the content they have created are customer testimonials, event recaps and promotions, and demonstrations. You can see several here.
"There is a massive need in the market for a business-grade video maker that is easy enough for anyone to use, yet powerful enough to generate professional looking, on-brand videos that can be easily incorporated into broader marketing strategies," said Brad Jefferson, CEO and co-founder of Animoto, which is based in New York.
Pricing for the Pro version of Animoto is $249 annually or $39 per month. It includes up to 1,000 tracks from Triple Scoop Music. The premium version, which doubles the number of tracks available, is $499 annually. There's a 14-day free trial period.


News about the 'Alaskan Bush People' new season is slow coming, but one family member fresh out of rehab caught gathering dinner!
It looks like Matt Brown from the ''Alaskan Bush People" was captured in a picture while he was on a hunt gathering food recently in Alaska. A fan happened to see Matt as he rounded a cold corner making his way to the frozen food section, but he stopped his quest for just long enough to snap a picture with the fan. While forging for food in the grocery store isn't anywhere near as exciting as seeing Matt Brown and the "Alaskan Bush People" attempt to live off the land, there are many viewers out there who would rather see Matt buy a frozen pizza than shoot down a deer for supper!
The Aussie News Network is suggesting that season 4 of the "Alaskan Bush People" will focus on Matt and his journey through treatment for substance abuse.
The thought behind this has to do with the show becoming rather stagnant, and by focusing on the treatment it might put the show in good graces once again. You have to admit there are just so many times you can watch the same old antics seen over and over again by the immature-acting adult children of the Brown family.
Is new season a go?
Still the wait for an official announcement of another season of the show has been long and drawn out. You have to admit it does keep the fans interested, so it is quite possible the quiet routine coming from the Discovery Channel adds to the intrigue of the show's fate.
When the show first aired this family was a phenomenon because the Brown's were billed as the family living off the grid in the Alaskan wilderness. Folks were led to believe that they had been living like this for years. It was amazing to see them forego all the modern conveniences like indoor plumbing and packaged food while still believing this was their only way of life!
As the show became a hit and more and more people tuned in, investigations done by amateur sleuths turned up evidence that this family wasn't as off the grid as once thought.
While they filmed in the Alaskan bush, the family had a home in a rural neighborhood where they lived when not shooting the series. When the family did film the "Alaskan Bush People," they stayed in a motel in a nearby town. Many fans felt a bit betrayed by this news, but others still felt this family was entertaining no matter where they laid their heads down at night.
Brown Family and a new season?
Back to the new season conundrum...Aussie News believes that honing in on Matt for the up and coming season (if there is one) would be the thing to do to bring interest back to the show.
With addiction running rampant in this country, offering up some interesting information on the effect the treatment had on Matt would surly entice more viewers than just the traditional fans of the show to tune in. Opening a window into Matt's treatment and the effects this had on the "Alaskan Bush People" family members would also work as a public service. Before anything can happen the folks from the Discovery Channel need to announce the fate of the show...will it return or not?
