Планинската горила (Gorilla beringei beringei) е един от двата подвида Източноконгоанска горила, обитаващ Национален парк Бвинди, Уганда и вулканичните планини Вирунга на Централна Африка и източната част на Демократична република Конго. Към септември 2016 г. общия брой на планинските горили се оценява на 880.

Описание
Мъжките достигат до средно тегло от 195 кг при височина от 150 cm и обикновено тежат два пъти повече от женските, които са с тегло около 100 кг при височина от 130 cm. Има записани мъжки горили с тегло 218,6 и 219 кг. Най-тежкият регистриран мъжки екземпляр е висок 1,83 м, в Амбам, Камерун, който тежи 267 кг. Козината на планинската горила е по-дебела и по-дълга от тази на другите видове горили, което им дава възможност да живеят при по-ниски температури.

Q: WHY in XP is it NOT POSSIBLE to set the Folder Options view for ALL folders There are NO answers because of the impossibility. The bags business is useless, NO magic codes for any view. Folder Options useless because (1) whatever you do does not stick, and (2) your thousand plus folders will not all have the same view.
One is stuck doing each and every folder manually with ZERO help.
If you as a reader dislike these facts, rough tough tissue paper.
  Deleting my response has zero effect on the above.

A: The general method for setting Folder Option has been around since XP forward. In Explorer, set a root folder the way you want (columns and details), then (in Explorer still, Tools, Folder Options, View, Apply to All folders.  Make sure all folders have been checked (selected) below. You may need to run the process a couple of times as it it not perfect.
xPlorer2 (zabkat.net) still support ZP and keeps folders exceedingly well arranged.  I use this myself and have done for years.

This attractive, valuable series of contemporary composer portrait CDs from Germany has its first issues devoted to five key figures active in Europe during the second half of the 20th century, Ligeti, Kagel, Maderna, Xenakis and Nono. The distinctive covers each has a pair of eyes showing through a gap. When you lift out the CD, their full faces appear - a nice touch. The notes are rather on the brief side, but adequate. Some are studio recordings, many others high quality live radio recordings from the 1950s until mid-90s from contemporary music festivals in Darmstadt, Donaueschinger, Metz, Moscow etc. All of them can be recommended as desirable and good value, though evaluation of the music itself must depend upon personal taste.
György Ligeti, now 77, continues to be prolific, and this selection has the first book of the growing collection of piano Études (1985). Erika Haase, who worked on the recording with the composer, retraces his compositional footsteps with the early Capriccios (1947) and Invention (1948) which show him distancing himself gradually from Bartok. The 11 ricercars (1951-53), the last a Homage to Frescobaldi, go beyond what Hungarian orthodoxy would allow in the early 1950s and No. 10, in its wind quintet arrangement, had too many minor seconds for inclusion in a concert - in 1956 Ligeti left his native country!
Ligeti has made a significant contribution to the new harpsichord repertoire and Erika Haase shows herself equally adept on that instrument. His Hungarian passacaglia leads us in deceptively gently towards its cumulative complexity; Hungarian Rock is wild and obviously virtuosic in its demands, and the rapid tremolos of Continuum are conceived by Ligeti as like an illusion produced by revolving a stroboscopic disk.
Collectors will also want to consider Pierre-Laurent Aimard's recording of Ligeti's works for piano, including the second book of the Études and one from the third, in the new Sony Gyorgy Ligeti Edition, SK 62308 .
Mauricio Kagel, South American born, long resident in Germany, is a genial composer, subversive and quirky, a maker of film and regular contributor to the development of music-theatre. This collection of orchestral works written within a few years a decade ago (1987-1990) is perhaps the first of these CDs to try. Les idees fixes is a continuous set of five rondos (a pity not to have indexed the single track) which takes in elements of jazz and middle-Eastern folk music; there is plenty of virtuosity from the orchestra, lively percussion, one rondo has an insistent A on the piano. Colourful and rhythmic, with expectations constantly confounded. Music for Keyboards and Orchestra integrates four pianos; Opus 1.1990 does not avoid tonality and its sound events are counterpointed with percussion, suggesting maybe 'suspenseful film scenes'. I enjoyed it all thoroughly.
Bruno Maderna is, for me, the poet of this series. Revered by his colleagues, an outsider in Darmstadt who counteracted the primacy there of serialism and abstraction, his music draws on myth and his own experience of antifascist activity. He died of cancer in 1973, aged 53, and I have a vivid memory of a Festival Hall concert which he conducted only weeks before, with music of his own, and Brendel playing Schoenberg's piano concerto. Maderna's music is sensuous and evocative. There are several oboe concertos, the first of them included here, together with Austrahhlung, a half hour work for full orchestra with flute & oboe soli, mezzo soprano, the sung texts in various languages from an ancient Persian anthology, and a phrase 'so wunderbar' repeated by Maderna's own daughters. Giardino religioso has the conductor moving around and playing various instruments, the instrumentalists having choices 'as if taking a walk in a garden'. Nothing to hurt here!
For an exhilarating bath in cold water, there is a generous selection of five mature works by Iannis Xenakis (b. 1922), covering the period 1953-96. Most are loud, dissonant, and very exciting if you can take it! Xenakis had a colourful life as resistance fighter and architect (assistant to Le Corbusier) and a master of mathematics and computer science, used for aesthetic objectives. N'shima (1975) for two singers and five instruments was sketched using a computer and made a big impact, and still does so. Metastaseis (1953) astounded with its building of dense textures with integral glissandi, and he used similar techniques when designing for Le Corbusier a pavilion for the 1958 World's Fair. loolkos is dominated by clusters from the start. Jonchales is evocative of birds congregating, with thunder, fairground drumming and calmer bells and flutes to end. Ata for 89 instruments has high energy, Xenakis describing it as 'a displacement of the senses'.
Luigi Nono (1924-90) is not for everyone, and indeed not for me, but he is highly regarded and was a (posthumous) featured composer at a recent Huddersfield Festival. . His sound world is typically fragmented, with silences a common feature. Due espressioni has microtonal shifts within a narrow, self imposed span of 3 semitones, long pauses between sound events 'reminiscent of the silence after death'?! Post-Prae-Ludium is for bass tuba and live electronics. The string quartet Fragmente - Stille, an Diotima, which can also be heard on the Arditti String Quartet Edition [Montaigne WM 334. 789005], treats Holderlin's poems characteristically, with delicate nuances 'bordering on the inaudible'..

Rated 5 out of 5 by BlackwellFan25 from Wasn't Expecting To Fall In Love On This Game! At first, I wasn't expecting too much on playing this game, it looks boring, as I look on the game's photos. The trailer changed my mind, so I gave it a try. As I started playing it, I didn't expect to fall in love on this game! I love the storyline and the soundtracks are really good! I also love their dialogues, the HOG's and the mini-games. This game is very fun to play! I totally recommend this!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heather_G from Engaging Story I wasn't expecting much from this game. It sounded rather dry. Although it started as expected, the story quickly grew and sucked me in. The characters are fairly believable and their dialog is well-written, which impressed me especially since the game was apparently developed in another country. Near-perfect translations, American flags inserted, etc. It also ran perfectly on my older PC. As an old adventure gamer, there were too many HOSs for my taste, although that will be a plus for HO fans. Objects are all modern day items that make sense for their settings, and are true to scale. Hints are pretty good, and recharge quickly. The HOSs were fairly easy, so I could breeze right through them and get on with the story. And the story is where this one shines. It never deviates, it makes sense, and is not terribly predictable. There is depth to the characters. I even like the way they are drawn--very expressive. For forensics buffs, you might enjoy using all the lab equipment. I thought that was fun. You also get to interrogate suspects. It is quite linear, so you don't get to wander around and explore, but the progression made so much sense I didn't really mind. This is a nice little gem that should appeal to a wide variety of players. It's not very hard, but there are a few places that weren't quite appropriate for kids, so definitely a game for older teens and grown-ups. I highly recommend this one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brooke_Lyn from Lots of Fun. Be The Detective, Female or Male! Finally! Same review for both "Special Enquiry Detail" games.. I love these! If you've been searching like I have for games where you get to be the detective? These games are exactly what you play! The team is made up of 2 detectives a Boss and the head of the forensics lab! It's male/female so everyone can step into the shoes of their choice and feel part of the investigation! No old mansions, scared kids, ghosts, knights with swords, sci-fi or back to the 1800's! Straight forward here and now engaging investigations with endings! HOS and puzzles are important to the games and not just random fillers! Sound track must be fine I can't remember it right now so it didn't bother me.. Negative: There's only 2 SED games, I really hope they make more! Or someone dev catches on that a lot of us like that kind of game! Not for kids, mine anyway!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nanaofthreeboys from Great Kindle Fire game I found this game in the app store on Kindle for my new Fire and I love it, enough to also get it from the PC so others in the family can play it too. Great graphics and story. It also has good hide and seek games as well as the solving of the case. Love it!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs_Kim from Calling all mystery game fans!! This game is the game where you can play like a real police/ detective. If you like James Patterson's WMC series, you'll like this one too. I bought this on the 2.99 sale and I am so glad that I did. It's definitely my kind of game. The graphic is great (not so thrilled with the cut scenes though, and the voice over is like bad acting) but the storyline is nice (although a bit unbelievable), still this is a 5 star game for me. Thanks, Big Fish!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimmycoo from Makes me want to be a cop! Love the music, its gorgeous! Love the precision HOB scenes, the graphics are awesome, and a great story line, this is a must buy! There are 12 chapters so its not so short! Loved it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by mandy2068 from The hand that feeds.. Only played the demo, Bit too much chit-chat for me ,but really enjoyed the story line ,an the mini-games . Graphic's really good too, hidden objects were blendin with the scenery , " just the way i like it ".
Rated 5 out of 5 by Suelovesgames from Gorgeous Graphics The graphics in this straight forward HOG are really lovely, detailed and sharp. The environmental sound effects are also good. The storyline is a murder mystery and keeps you guessing until the end. It's a bit like that oldie but goodie BigFish game 'Murder She Wrote' not in style or graphics but in gameplay, dialogue and characterisation. There are some mini games located inside the HOS but you can skip them easily enough. It was pretty much a perfect game, perhaps a touch shorter than I thought it would be but I'm just nitpicking now!
Rated 4 out of 5 by tesamoine from Who Dunnit?? This is an older game, but one I enjoy. I just replayed it and realized how much I really liked it. You play 2 detectives (one male, one female) investigating a murder. You must find evidence, interrogate suspects and find out who did it. It's a fairly linear game. You aren't allowed to roam around. The only drawback to this installment, for me at least, is that it is HOG heavy. Many small HO in each scene. However, they were easy to find and get done with and move on with the story. There are 2 modes of play... story, or find all the objects. I think they could improve on this game a lot by making it more of an adventure type game without so many HOS. However, it is an enjoyable 5 hour game.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Annette_S from Good Detective Story Liked the murder mystery story. Good graphics, sound.

If you want to search ONLY the original assignee name as printed on the document, you can use the AN_ORIG field code.
Unlike the AN field code, AN_ORIG searches ONLY the original name as printed on the patent document. This field is NOT normalized, and includes punctuation, misspellings, and crazy variants of all the assignee names.
The field is useful for looking up specific misspellings of a name.
AN_ORIG:hewlet --> Finds this specific misspelling of the assignee name (hewlet instead of hewlett).
The above image is an example of a search for the original name on the document, with the misspelling "Hewlet." There are a few things you should take note of in this example.
The AN_ORIG query was used with the specific misspelling.
The names in the Search Result grid have been normalized and the spelling fixed. These are always normalized to make it easier for you to search through.
The name in the Document Details contains the spelling mistake. Notice that the Assignee Orig. field contains both the normalized name and the original misspelling.


The D.A.R.E. program has three main goals. First, D.A.R.E. seeks to provide students with a knowledge base on the effects of drug abuse that go beyond the physical ramifications and extend to emotional, social, and economic aspects of life. Secondly, D.A.R.E. aims to build decision-making and problem solving skills and strategies to help students make informed decisions and resist drug use, peer pressure, and violence. Lastly, an integral part of the D.A.R.E. program is to provide students with alternatives to drug use.
D.A.R.E. is a universal program designed to reach the general population, rather than "at risk" groups, and it is implemented in all fifth grade classes in Livingston Parish. Research has shown this to be a time when children are very receptive to anti-drug messages, particularly as they approach the age associated with drug experimentation.
Our D.A.R.E. program is funded by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. Specially trained, uniformed police officers conduct the lessons in the classroom. By employing law enforcement officers to teach the curriculum, D.A.R.E. brings the firsthand accounts of the officers' experiences from the street to the classroom. It is this unique aspect of the program that not only intrigues students but also helps to foster a positive relationship between the students and police officers.
The new theme of safe and responsible choices provides a framework for teaching about decision making, risk, stress, communication, and peer pressure while providing youth with the information they need to make informed choices.
There are increased opportunities to practice the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model and apply it to real life situations.
The new curriculum covers a broad range of risks students may potentially face in their lives.
The skills are now taught through stories. This includes videos, situations and role plays, and journaling to give students the opportunity to practice skills, write, and plan for the future.
Exercise self-control particularly when under stress and pressure. The new curriculum will teach them to control their emotions, avoid impulsive behavior, and think critically about their experiences in order to plan a drug-free life.
Identify the risks and consequences of their choices. The curriculum prepares them for the rapid changes and challenges by teaching them to evaluate the risks and consequences of their choices.
Make safe and responsible decisions. The D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model continues to be central because youth this age need to understand how to think clearly and critically about the choices they face.
Communicate more confidently and effectively, thus developing stronger relationships with peers, family, and authority figures.
Become safe and responsible citizens by learning how to help others and know how to get help. We know youth of this age cannot do everything alone so the new curriculum stresses safe and responsible ways to give and get help.


We are always looking for more volunteers! Sign up here to volunteer with us.
The Boston Cyclists Union started the Bike to Market program in 2010 to increase access to bike repair services in areas underserved by bike shops. The goal of the program is to teach people how to fix their own bikes, talk about the Bike Union's advocacy projects and discuss how to enhance cycling in Boston.
The program takes place at Farmers Markets throughout the summer in neighborhoods across Boston. The guidance and repair is free and parts are sold at an affordable cost. Bike to Market is supported by donations and memberships - join the Union today!
At Bike to Market, Union volunteers and staff teach bike repairs such as changing flat tires and adjusting derailleurs and brakes. In 2017 the Bike Union and its volunteers taught bike repair skills to over 500 people!

Commentary / Japan
Weathering the storms of judgment
His box office successes have made "Weathering With You" director Makoto Shinkai a household name in Japan, but he remains a reluctant celebrity. | KYODO
by Shihoko Goto
WASHINGTON – Being selected to represent Japan in any industry is no small feat. But representing Japan in the foreign film category at the Oscars is particularly harrowing. The selection process to make the final five for the ultimate prize is arduous and definitely opaque. Who really knows what goes on in the Academy of Motion Pictures anyway? But the foreign film category is particularly contentious, given the patriotic fervor that prevails throughout the elimination process.
Japan's ardent cinephiles and casual film viewers alike will be closely watching to see whether "Weathering With You" makes it through to win the top spot. The film by director Makoto Shinkai already has a few domestic firsts under its belt, including first Japanese animation since 1998 to represent the country in the foreign language film category, and raking in more ticket sales in its first three days at the box office than the director's previous blockbuster. Still, the film's biggest contribution may well be how it portrays a new form of Japanese identity and even leadership both on and off the screen.
Gone are the days when Japanese business practices and blue-chip companies inspired a generation of foreign students to study Japanese language and corporate culture. Back in the 1980s and early '90s, it seemed to make financial sense as much as anything else to study Japan. Over the past two decades, though, it has been Japan's soft power, most notably in anime, that has played a significant role in inspiring young people worldwide to learn about the country.
In short, money is no longer a driving force in the study of Japan. Rather, it is often the scenes depicted on screens, the clatter on the internet, music being streamed, sports celebrities and a love of Japanese food more than politics or economics that have turned people on to Japan.
But "Weathering With You" succeeds in presenting yet another dimension of Japan: its vulnerability to weather and in this case, heavy rain. Although teenage romance drives this coming-of-age film, persistent, torrential rain pummeling Tokyo is an integral part of the plot as well. While the sinister weather is a result of divine anger in the film, it's easy enough for moviegoers to think about the impact of climate change and a sobering reflection on the vulnerabilities of a megapolis.
In a nutshell, the weather is as much a character as any, and the film can be a starting point to consider the implications of drastic shifts in weather patterns in any part of the world without being preachy.
It is the director of the film himself, though, who actually succeeds in promoting Japan's evolving values the best. With his latest work following in the footsteps of his previous blockbuster "Your Name.," Shinkai has emerged as a household name in the country, featuring prominently in multiple TV shows and interviews.
What is striking is that he remains a reluctant celebrity. Asked whether he could do a quick drawing and sign his name on his work on one program, Shinkai said that he didn't like to do that because an animation production is the result of a large team of people working together, noting that over 800 people worked on his latest film.
For Shinkai, his creative process is a collaborative one that values and celebrates teamwork at a time when most global corporate executives promote their own personal brands and seek the limelight. The director's approach to promoting his work reflects a more traditional approach to celebrating the Made in Japan brand, even when the animation industry is very much in the 21st century.
Still, the fact that a sizable number of Chinese and Korean animators have been an integral part of the production team may be what needs to be highlighted the most right now. There has already been plenty of speculation about how the Japanese animation film may do in the South Korean market in particular, given the tensions between Tokyo and Seoul, with no clear end in sight for a breakthrough in relations. Certainly, the movement within certain groups in South Korea to boycott Japanese products will hurt viewership in the country, if theaters don't shy away from showing it in the first place.
As the competition for the 92nd annual Oscar foreign film shortlist heats up, the rivalry between Japan and South Korea will no doubt intensify in the world of cinema as well. With South Korea's own nomination, "Parasite" by Bong Joon-ho, seen as a strong contender, the Oscars could be yet another battleground for heightened tensions.
Yet Shinkai's message about environmental concerns including heavy rains not being anything new but actually transcending the millennia is a universal one. The fact that the message has been delivered all too forcefully as a result of cooperation among top talents going beyond national boundaries should also resonate with an audience hungry for strong narratives and detailed graphics.
All eyes will be on the Academy Awards next February.

And so whaddya think happens? We find a Wee Thomas, of course.
Basement cat has a fierce!
Someone had to have another kitty. And there this one was, all black and friendly-like. And so, in honor of Martin McDonagh, it's Wee Thomas. He's quarantined for a week or two, since he just came from the shelter. This is very troublesome to Raoul, who is sure there's another cat behind that door. More photos below.
There's a maxim in comedy, which I'm sure has a proper name, but I just call it the 9-rakes rule, based on the Cape Feare episode of The Simpsons. Stepping on a rake once is funny, the second time is less funny, the third time starts gettting repetetive and boring, but sometime between the 4th and the 9th time it gets funny again. The same principle applies with violence; too much is often better than the right amount. Quentin Tarantino understands this, as does Robert Rodriguez. And so, it turns out, does Martin McDonagh. We saw his dark comedy, his "comedy of terrors" if you will, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, last night at Signature, and it goes so far overboard on the violence that it made me wonder if I was a bad person for giggling uncontrollably at some of the scenes.
McDonagh also wrote The Cripple of Inishmaan, which we saw at Silver Spring Stage in March. Cripple was very dark, and we had heard it was one of his cheerier plays, so weren't sure what to expect from Lieutenant. Especially considering it was billed as comedy. But it was in the smaller ARK space at Signature, so at least it wasn't going to involve the Broadwaysturbation that's becoming more common in the MAX space (notwithstanding the fact that this play was nominated for five Tonys in 2006). We weren't disappointed.
More, with some spoilers, below the fold.
Young man, there's no need to ask why.
I said, young man, don't you let yourself cry.
I said, young man, where your stature will grow.
It's fun to star on the A-C-S–R.
Check this out! The ACS Repair hardware is loaded into the LOPE (Large ORU (Orbital Replacement Unit) Protective Enclosure) and ready for launch. Hubble's best camera will be working again soon!
You got your Low-Voltage Power Supply Replacement (LVPS-R) up at the top, and your CCD Electronics Box Replacement (CEB-R) at the bottom of the picture. The aluminum-colored plates on the top of each box swing up and out of the way by turning the T-handles, then the boxes slide out. Well actually for the CEB-R you also have to flip the green handles and move them out of the way first as well.
Once installed on Hubble, the harness you see sticking out of the LVPS-R gets connected to the CEB-R, where you see the red shorting plug on there now. There's more info on ACS Repair at their website.
So now it's up to the installation crew to get the carrier loaded into the payload bay, and then our astronauts to install it. And we have to not get eaten by alligators, which doesn't seem too difficult.
Here are some more shots from yesterday's tour of Endeavour. This post really should be put into my standard slideshow format, but when my hard drive died it took my /bin folder with it. I had /Applications and the important parts of /Documents backed up, but /bin is the poor cousin in the Mac hierarchy. So I don't currently have the script to build a slideshow page. I'm sure it's on some hard disk somewhere, but I don't have it now. So you get 'em like this.
Let's start outside the Vehicle Assembly Building. Look, it's Cepi's Angels!
Erin, Kathleen, and Becky in front of the VAB. We didn't go in there.
But nothing was happening in there, so we didn't go in. Later this week they'll be stacking Endeavour in there (attaching it to the external tank, and boosters). With any luck I'll get to see that too.

Q: C# Force Unmanaged Resources To Be Released The challenge I'm facing is that I'm writing a WCF service which is by it's nature, multithreaded to work with a C library which I know is not threadsafe and I have no option to influence the library I'm calling. The library I'm calling has an initialisation method to configure the hardware and set a callback handler.
If I execute this process in a console app, it runs absolutely fine as it's on a single thread.
To overcome the challenges I've created a helper class which implements IDisposable to setup the hardware, make the calls and hopefully rip itself down once it's finished.
Sample helper class:
public class MyClass
{
[DllImport("mydll.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    private static extern void Setup(ushort var_one, ushort var_two);

    [DllImport("mydll.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    private static extern int Initialise(int port_num, int short_timeout, int long_timeout,
                                                  TXN_CALLBACK callback);

    [DllImport("mydll.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    private static extern IntPtr GetDeviceStatus();

    [UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public delegate void TXN_CALLBACK(int size, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string the_data);

    private int Setup(ushort var_one, ushort var_two);
    {
        Setup(var_one, var_two);
        int foo= Initialise(0, shorttimeout, longtimeout, txn_callback);
        return foo;
    }

    public MyStruct GetStatus()
    {

        Setup(0, 0);
        return PtrToStruct<MyStruct>(GetDeviceStatus());
    }

Calling code (WCF service):
using (MyClass class = new MyClass())
{
    return class.GetStatus();
}

I've left out the IDisposable code as it's been set as the default disposable pattern created by visual studio. As it stands, each time I call GetStatus after the first it knows I've already called it before until I restart the application. I'd like it to behave each time I call it as though it was the first time. Any ideas what I need to include in the disposal code to completely start from scratch each time I create an instance of my helper?

A: I believe the root of your issue is that once "mydll.dll" is loaded into memory, that same instance, if you will, is used by every instance of MyClass.
Given that you cannot modify the underlying library, you either need to be able to call functions in the native dll to restore it to a default state, or you need to be able to unload it from memory between each usage. I'm betting the former option is not possible based on the context of your question. You have a couple options, either use the windows API to dynamically load and unload the DLL:
How to dynamically load and unload a native DLL file?
...or wrap this DLL in another exe of your making, so ,on construction, your service will launch the exe, talk to it via any number of means (you could create another layer of WCF service for this, stdin/out, named pipes, whatever is convenient), and close the exe when you are done with it.
I lean towards the exe method to ensure that the DLL is completely isolated and has no way of corrupting your service, plus you also have the ability to spawn multiple instances (for each WCF service instance) if you need to support multiple sessions. In addition, when you create each exe instance, you can get the process ID and monitor it for crashes as well, making your service even more robust.

Biznes i Ewangelia. Wezwanie dla chrześcijanina-kapitalisty (ang. Doing well and doing good. The challenge to the Christian Capitalist) – książka autorstwa Richarda Johna Neuhausa z 1992 poświęcona stykowi religii i biznesu. Pierwsze polskie wydanie ukazało się w 1993 (wydawnictwo W Drodze).

Książka powstała w Nowym Jorku z inspiracji encykliką papieża Jana Pawła II, Centesimus annus wydaną w 1991. Papież poruszył w niej kwestie chrześcijańskiego przesłania w epoce demokratycznego kapitalizmu. Autor (były pastor luterański, późniejszy ksiądz katolicki) zadaje w związku z tym pytania o to, czy świat biznesu i Ewangelii są odrębne, czy połączone i czy Kościół może zachować swoją tożsamość w świecie demokracji. Publikacja była istotnym głosem w debacie na temat znaczenia religii i Kościoła we współczesnym życiu publicznym, a także zaangażowania chrześcijan w życie społeczne i polityczne poszczególnych państw. Książka zadedykowana była Peterowi i Brygitcie Berger z wdzięcznością za stałość przyjaźni w momentach trudnych.

Data Will Light Up AI
How long have we been thinking about artificial intelligence? Robots first ran amok in our fiction in the 1920s, and by the 1950s, Alan Turing and others were writing about the real-world possibilities of intelligent machines. Yet for all the years we've spent fantasizing about and doggedly researching the possibilities, we are still not prepared for what's coming.
That was one of my key takeaways from the State of Dark Data Report. Commissioned by Splunk and executed by TRUE Global Intelligence, the report investigates the state of data, artificial intelligence and data-related job skills in seven leading economies worldwide. In brief, it found that too much of our data (55% globally) is unseen and unused; that data skills will be essential; and that the business managers and executives closest to technology don't feel like they have a handle on artificial intelligence, though they recognize its possible transformative impact.
As an example of juxtaposing results, 61% of respondents expect AI to help guide business strategy within five years, but only 48% say they understand AI very or extremely well. Those numbers vary considerably by region, by the way. In only two nations did more than half of the respondents assess themselves as AI experts (China, at 77%, and the UK at 61%). In other countries, the numbers were as low as 38%. And in every nation, respondents believed that their colleagues, their organizations, and their industries in general had an even lower understanding of AI.
This is a remarkable confidence gap. It suggests that many organizations will not be ready to effectively use technologies that will also be in the hands of their competitors. And it suggests that technologies that have the power to transform our lives will be poorly leveraged. With the right understanding, policies, skills and approach, we have a tremendous opportunity, not just to drive a few more consecutive quarters of profit, but to change the world for the better.
I believe there are three essential principles to get us ready for artificial intelligence as a tool of global transformation:
Intelligent, practical and usable data policies. As we continue our progress into the era of machine learning and AI, each of us needs to understand not just our personal data, but the data generated through all of our activities. Over time, there will be increasing economic leverage and benefit from this data — benefit that we will each need to take advantage of for our personal welfare and benefit. Organizations and corporations also need to recognize and honor the individuals at the center of this data. For example, as I interact with an airline, I should expect that they'll use my anonymized data to improve their service and offerings. However, selling the personal information that they've accumulated to advertisers should only be done with my explicit consent, and ideally with me taking a share of those revenues.
Bring data to light. The research confirms that we are not just underutilizing the vast majority of available data, but in most cases are willingly ignoring dark data altogether. That does not mean we have to structure every data flow into a perfectly ordered database; that's orthogonal to what we actually need. We must do a better job of collecting this swirling temporal data, which has such huge potential, then investigate these unstructured pools with tools that honor the natural, chaotic state of that data. Tools that were built to navigate chaos. If we can't effectively incorporate that data, how will we be able to trust AI outcomes drawn from incomplete data?
Invest in education and, in parallel, transform the workplace. A compelling majority of the respondents recognize that data skills will be central to nearly every job going forward. We need to begin, now, to develop our workforces both in terms of specific data skills and around a general data literacy. It also means recognizing how AI enters our environments, and where it partners with human agents.
And what is the future we'll build if we embrace data and the inherent possibilities? I see a future in which every person is a data practitioner and every organization is data driven — resulting in meaningful economic opportunities, education and purpose.
We're already on the road to that reality. Tools with guided assistants and intuitive configurations are helping businesses unlock a much higher value of analytics and machine learning for security, IT, finance, marketing and more. Data scientists and other data experts are making extraordinary things happen with machine learning. Many great technologies start out in the hands of cutting-edge businesses, government or academia; we need to bring these initial successes to a wider audience and recognize that the soft and hard skills of data literacy, paired with the right access to tools, will enable any person to make things happen with data.
The State of Dark Data Report is a fascinating read. It tells a data-driven story not just about what's on the horizon, but about the road from here to there, and the obstacles we'll have to navigate on the way. Download it today, and don't miss CTO Tim Tully and me discussing dark data, AI and the future of work on Facebook Live, May 9th.

The pictures I took spontaneously - with a bliss-like sensation, as if they had long inhabited my unconscious - were often more powerful than those I had painstakingly composed. I grasped their magic as in passing
© Herbert List | Magnum Photos
Herbert List was a classically educated artist who combined a love of photography with a fascination for surrealism and classicism.
Greece became List's primary interest during the late 30s. His first visit to the antique temples, sculptures and landscapes, his first solo show opened in Paris in the summer of 1937. Publications in Life, Photographie, Verve and Harper's Bazaar followed, and List began work on his first book, Licht Ueber Hellas, which wasn't published until 1953.
He became a contributor to Magnum in 1951 but rarely accepted assignments. During the 50s he began using a 35mm camera and telephoto lens and was influenced by the spontaneity of Henri Cartier-Bresson. In his final decades his interest in photography waned and he turned his focus to collecting Old Master drawings. Herbert List died in Munich in 1975.

Digestaat is vergiste biomassa en is een restproduct van de biogasproductie. Digestaat bevat water, levende en dode organismen, mineralen en de niet vergiste mestfractie, onder andere lignine. Indien er mest gebruikt werd in de vergisting, is deze afkomstig van rundvee, varkens of kippen. Voor een vergisting met verhoogde methaanopbrengst wordt ook organisch materiaal zoals maïs, suikerbietenpuntjes, glycerine of organisch-biologische stromen uit de voedingsindustrie toegevoegd.

Digestaat is technisch gezien geen compost, hoewel het vergelijkbare fysische en chemische eigenschappen heeft. Compost wordt in tegenstelling tot digestaat geproduceerd door aerobe micro-organismen.

Door de vergisting wordt het organisch materiaal in de mest deels afgebroken tot gas. Zo kan  bijvoorbeeld de C/N-coëfficiënt (koolstof/stikstof verhouding) van varkensmest verschuiven van 7 naar 2. Ook komt er voor de planten meer makkelijk opneembare stikstof vrij.

Barón Loránd Eötvös de Vásárosnamény (27 de julio de 1848-8 de abril de 1919), también conocido como Baron Roland von Eötvös, fue un ingeniero, matemático, físico y político húngaro, hijo del escritor y también político József Eötvös. Fue ministro de Instrucción Pública. Se le debe una ley sobre las variaciones de energía superficial de los líquidos en función de la temperatura. Es recordado por sus trabajos en gravitación y en tensión superficial, así como por la invención de la balanza de torsión que lleva su nombre. Gracias a él, se pudieron organizar las Olimpiadas Eötvös, precursoras de la Olimpiada Matemática Internacional.

Biografía
Nacido en 1848, año de la revolución húngara, Eötvös era hijo del barón József Eötvös de Vásárosnamény (1813-1871) y de Agnes Rosty de Barkócz (1825-1913). Su tío materno fue Pál Rosty de Barkócz (1830-1874), geógráfo, explorador y pionero de la fotografía. Por aquel entonces, su padre, el barón József Eötvös, fue nombrado ministro de educación del nuevo gobierno de la Hungría independiente surgida de la revolución. József Eötvös era un conocido poeta, escritor y político liberal muy famoso en su tiempo, y que jugó un papel importante en la vida intelectual y política húngara del siglo XIX.

Después de graduarse en 1865, Loránd Eötvös inicialmente estudió leyes, pero pronto cambió a la física y se fue a estudiar al extranjero, en las universidades de Heidelberg y de Königsberg. Después de obtener su doctorado, se convirtió en profesor universitario en Budapest y jugó un papel importante en la ciencia de Hungría durante casi medio siglo. Fue reconocido internacionalmente por primera vez gracias a su trabajo innovador en capilaridad, y posteriormente por sus refinados métodos experimentales y estudios de campo en la gravedad.

En 1875 se casó con Gizella Horváth (1853-1919), hija del ministro de Justicia de Croacia. Tuvo tres hijas:
 Jolan (1877-1879)
 Rolanda (1878-1952)
 Helena (1880-1945)

Eötvös es recordado hoy por su trabajo experimental en gravedad, en particular, por su estudio de la equivalencia entre masa gravitacional y masa inercial (el llamado principio de equivalencia débil); y por su estudio del gradiente gravitacional en la superficie de la Tierra. El principio de equivalencia débil juega un papel destacado en la teoría de la relatividad y el experimento de Eötvös fue citado por Albert Einstein en su artículo de 1916 Fundamentación de la Teoría General de la Relatividad. Las mediciones del gradiente gravitacional son importantes en geofísica aplicada, especialmente en la localización de depósitos de petróleo o mineros. La Unidad de gradiente gravitatorio del sistema CGS se llama eotvos en su honor.

Desde 1886 hasta su muerte, Loránd Eötvös se dedicó a la investigación y a la docencia en la Universidad de Budapest, que desde 1950 pasó a llamarse Universidad Eötvös Loránd en su honor.

Uno de los asistentes de Eötvös era Radó von Kövesligethy, quien más tarde se convirtió en un notable científico.

Compaginó la docencia con el cargo de Ministro de Educación. Fue académico y presidente de la Academia de Ciencias de Hungría, presidente y fundador de la Sociedad de Matemáticas y Física de Hungría, y un gran aficionado al montañismo.

Eötvös está enterrado en el cementerio Kerepesi de Budapest.

Aportaciones científicas
Eötvös desarrolló múltiples trabajos relacionados con la física teórica, y en su condición de ingeniero, trabajó especialmente en cuestiones relacionadas con la física aplicada.

Balanza de torsión de Eötvös

La balanza de torsión de Eötvös (también conocida por "péndulo de torsión") es una mejora de un instrumento anterior (desarrollado entre otros por el físico británico Henry Cavendish), con la sensibilidad suficiente para medir con precisión variaciones en el campo gravitatorio, debidas a las distintas densidades de los elementos que forman la corteza terrestre. El dispositivo mide la fuerza de la gravedad, y lo que es más importante, permite conocer la dirección de la variación de la gravedad en el plano horizontal, lo que facilita localizar la distribución irregular de masas en la corteza terrestre. La balanza de torsión de Eötvös, es un importante instrumento usado internacionalmente en geodesia y en geofísica para el estudio de las propiedades físicas de la Tierra. Se utiliza para la prospección de minas y en la búsqueda de minerales como el petróleo, el carbón y otras menas. La balanza de Eötvös nunca fue patentada, pero después de demostrar su exactitud, varios instrumentos fueron exportados a todo el mundo, permitiendo descubrir algunos de los más ricos yacimientos mineros de los Estados Unidos.

El péndulo de Eötvös fue utilizado para demostrar con precisión la equivalencia entre la masa inercial y la masa gravitatoria. Esta equivalencia se utilizó más tarde por Albert Einstein al exponer la teoría de la relatividad general.

Así es como el propio Eötvös describe su balanza:

Para calibrar el dispositivo, en 1891 se prepararon una serie de mediciones junto a la montaña de Sag. Esta montaña de basalto tenía forma de cono truncado especialmente regular, lo que facilitó el cálculo del efecto esperado.

Efecto Eötvös
El efecto Eötvös es la alteración en la fuerza de la gravedad medida, causada por el cambio en la aceleración centrífuga resultante del movimiento de un cuerpo en dirección hacia el este o hacia el oeste sobre la Tierra. Cuando un objeto se mueve hacia el este, la velocidad angular del objeto se incrementa (sumándose a la rotación de la tierra), y por lo tanto, la fuerza centrífuga también aumenta, causando una reducción en la fuerza gravitacional percibida.

Regla de Eötvös
Esta ley permite predecir la tensión superficial de un líquido puro arbitrario a cualquier temperatura, en función de su densidad, de su masa molar y de su temperatura crítica (en la que la tensión superficial del líquido es cero).

Experimento de Eötvös
Entre 1885 y 1909, Eötvös y su equipo, realizaron una serie de experimentos cada vez más precisos (con diferentes tipos de materiales y en diferentes lugares alrededor de la Tierra) utilizando balanzas de torsión. Todos estos experimentos demostraron la equivalencia entre masa inercial y masa gravitacional. A su vez, estos experimentos llevaron a la comprensión moderna del principio de equivalencia codificado en la relatividad general, que establece que las masas gravitacionales e inerciales son coincidentes.

Honores
 En 1913, la Academia de Ciencias de Hungría presentó los trabajos de Eötvös al Comité del Premio Nobel, aunque el elegido en aquella edición del premio fue el físico holandés pionero en la superconductividad Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.

 El mineral lorandita (compuesto de talio, arsénico y azufre descubierto por Joseph Kenner en Macedonia del Norte) recibió su nombre en homenaje a Eötvös.
 La URSS conmemoró su muerte con una inscripción en el Museo Nacional de la Ciencia de Moscú.
 Desde París, el grupo de científicos agrupados por Marie Curie -con Albert Einstein a la cabeza-, también conmemoró el fallecimiento de Eötvös. Einstein manifestó a la prensa que: ¡Había fallecido un príncipe de la física!.
 En el centenario de su nacimiento, el Museo de Ciencias de Londres celebró una exposición conmemorativa titulada "El científico más grande de Hungría".
 En 1970, la Unión Astronómica Internacional puso el nombre de cráter Eötvös a uno de los cráteres de la cara oculta de la Luna.
 El primer refugio de montaña situado al norte de Hungría, en Dobogókő, lleva el nombre de "Baron Eötvös Lorand".

written by Ultimate Topics June 23, 2019 921 views
The damages caused by an earthquake do not get covered easily. Whenever an uncertain amount of energy is released from the lithosphere, the Earth begins to tremble. The abundance of earthquakes on our planet is mainly because of the massive spaces between the tectonic discs.
Many lives, buildings, and homes get destroyed depending on the strength of the earthquake. Most of our generation has no idea about how much destruction an earthquake can cause. That is why awareness related to earthquakes should be spread everywhere.
A lot of terror-filled earthquakes occurred on our Earth, and the deadliest of them are listed below.

Shensi, China Earthquake – Jan. 23, 1556
Tangshan, China Earthquake – July. 28, 1976
Aleppo, Syria Earthquake – Oct. 11, 1138
Sumatra, Indonesia Earthquake – Dec. 26, 2004
Haiti Earthquake – Jan. 12, 2010
Damghan, Iran Earthquake – Dec. 22, 856
Haiyuan, China Earthquake – Dec. 16, 1920
Ardabil, Iran Earthquake – March. 23, 893
Kanto, Japan Earthquake – Sept. 1, 1923
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan Earthquake – Oct. 5, 1948
China seems to be a very peaceful and developed country, but no one ever thought that a huge tragedy would hit one of its cities. The earthquake that occurred in 1556 in Shensi was the most brutal of all. The intensity of this earthquake was 8, so high that about 830,000 people died. 840 kilometers of the land was destroyed, and only 40% of the people survived this tragedy.
After one tragic earthquake, another one occurred in China as well. The one that occurred in Tangshan that caused plenty of disasters and losses. The entire industrial platform of Tangshan suffered from this terror attack in 1976. The estimated number of people that died from this quake was 255,000. The intensity of this earthquake was 7.8, and around 800,000 people were badly injured. It only lasted for about 10 seconds, but the damage it had caused was unacceptable. 180 monuments got destroyed, and the damage almost reached Beijing.
The third most terrifying earthquake that ever occurred on the Earth was in the city of Syria; Aleppo. Aleppo is the northern part of Syria. In 1138, the damage was so brutal that about 230,000 people died. The intensity of this quake could not be calculated.
The countries that were near Indonesia, which were estimated to be 14, all of them were affected by this massive earthquake. Its intensity was 9.1, and it had everyone screaming for their lives. Around 227,000 people died from this incident, and about 20% of its population disappeared into the tsunami. An earthquake with a 9.1 intensity rate is bound to cause destruction.
The intensity of this earthquake was 7, and about 222,000 people lost their life. 50% of the population of Haiti got displaced. A lot of buildings were destroyed, and almost 100,000 houses clashed.
In Damghan, almost 200,000 people got killed because of the huge intensity of this quake, which was 7.9. Damghan is known to be a northeast province of Iran. Most of the destruction caused in the history of Iran is due to this heavy earthquake. Not every country can be able to recover fr0m a huge loss easily.
This tragic earthquake happened on 16 December 1920, and it is known to be the terrifying earthquake of all. According to a reliable estimate, about 200,000 people died from this incident, and the damages caused by this quake took a lot of years to recover. Because of its massive intensity, this earthquake is also known as the Ganyanchi earthquake.
In 893, the city of Iran got hit by this disastrous quake which killed about 150,000 people. Although this tragedy happened a long time ago, the havoc it caused still weakens the hearts of many.
In the history of Japan, the Kanto quake was proved to be the worst tragedy that ever hit upon the country. The intensity of this quake was 7.9, and it killed 142,000 people. The extent of damage was so much that it reached the Yokohama land. Even after the earthquake was over, the damage still did not stop, and about 380 houses got destroyed.
With the 7.3 intensity, this earthquake killed about 110,000 people, and it happened in 1948. Ashgabat is now known as the capital of Turkmenistan. A lot of monuments were destroyed, and plenty of people got injured.

City needed that win so badly, especially later on as news comes through that Nottingham Forest also won. Mondays' game at Ninian Park is huge now. A City win over Forest would see a six point gap open up between the teams.
Thanks to a normal National Rail Saturday service I was able to make it to Derby in three hours including a London changeover from my holiday location in deepest Essex. Arriving at Kings Cross to swap over to St Pancras was like starring the movie 28 Days Later, Euston Rd, one of the busiest throughfares in London, was totally empty. What a wierd feeling. The "fast train" then took only 90 mins from London to Derby, very comfortable.
Pride Park was visible for a good while as the train edged into Derby. It's a new stadium, a bit Meccano looking from the outside but once inside it's a superb venue. A delightful hot pastie warmed me for the first half.
After the teams took to the pitch the first job was to hold a minutes silence in respect to the victims of the Tsumami is South East Asia. Can I congratulate every single person in a crowd of over 22,000 for an immaculate silence. It was quite emotional to be thinking about such a disaster and the respect paid by the supporters was spot on. The local fire brigade was collecting outside the ground towards the relief effort and their buckets were being rattled with coins at a steady rate.
Both teams contributed to a decent game of football, the chances though were falling to City. Langley produced a point blank save from Camp the keeper. Jobi McAnuff saw two chances saved before Thorne scored what turned out to be the winning goal. City won a throw wide right, Rhys Weston lauched the ball across the box and bounced between the bumbling Derby defenders who looked on horrified as it sat up for the unmarked Peter Thorne to head past Camp and send the City fans wild.
Credit to the Derby's No. 27 Idiakez, he smacked a shot against the post from 25 hards that left Warner motionless and then a free kick for over 30 yards that hit the bar, both superb strikes. Warner apart from that though was troubled only by crosses and through balls.
Half time meant a second pastie, my diet and New Year resolutions will start next Tuesday when it's back to work. I'm hoping for a celebration drop of shandy after the Forest game before I embark on a health kick.
Unlike at Watford, City opted to play football in the second half as well as the first. Chances fell to Cameron Jerome, his gangly style of running and strength dragged Derby left and right and he managed several efforts that went high and wide. That's not a criticism though, he earned the right to have a go because of his running and movement.
Graham Kavanagh and Inamoto both worked hard, they tackled hard, tracked back and looked to create chances. McAnuff found more space today than he has for a while, the space created acted as a valve to relieve any pressure Derby were trying to build. If there was any cause for concern it was down the City right, Langley and Weston were overrun at times but as the game wore on they made sure thay made the big tackles when it mattered. City were fortunate actually that the ref missed a blatant handball from Rhys Weston that would have give Derby a late penalty. I thought that cancelled out Pechcisolido' s blatant dive though that showed him up to be a cheat. I've always thought him to be a good player but his decision to try and con a penalty out of the referee has lost any respect I had for him. City saw out the game with some sterling defending from the centre halves.
Danny Gabbidon won header after header, he controlled ball after ball and always made the right choice. He was eclipsed though by James Collins. Ginge was injured at Watford and written off for this game but he came back and made the starting line up.
His contribution was worthy of a 10 out of 10. Not one header missed and countless crucial clearances when Derby threatended. I've said enough times in the past, after teams have kept City at bay, that we could have done with this defender and that defender but today Collins produced a complete defensive performance.
Graham Kavanagh kissed his badge, kissed his captains armband and along with the rest of the team, who all huddled together after the final whistle, proved that a bit of passion from the team can work wonders. Every player earned respect today and it was appreciated all round.
After being quick to slag Lennie off when we underperform and seem to be a team of individuals then I must concede that today his players played for him and he pulled off a superb result.
Welcome to 2005, it was just about a perfect day.


This week's WWE SmackDown, the final show of the year with Kevin Owens defeating WWE Champion AJ Styles in a non-title main event, drew 2.656 million viewers. This is up 3% from last week's 2.578 million viewers.
SmackDown was #3 in viewership for this week on cable, behind the 9pm college football airing on ESPN and Major Crimes. SmackDown was #1 in the 18-49 demographic.
In comparison, Monday's RAW drew 2.703 million viewers, down from last week's 2.786 million viewers. It beat SmackDown viewership by only 4.9%. You can see how the 2017 RAW totals compared to the 2017 SmackDown totals at the end of this post.


As a new intern at Fusion PR, there is plenty to learn and experience but there's been one thing that sticks out to me the most. It's the reality that some of the top tech companies have done such a good job of branding and relating to media outlets that they almost seem to be able to completely dictate or strongly influence the direction and content of current news. If you take the time to scan the news, you'll see that the same names make the headlines. Basically, if the tech industry were a high school cafeteria, Google and Apple would be the cool kids lounging at their own designated table while the startups sitting at surrounding tables would gaze longingly in their direction. Whenever any of these tech giants release any kind of product or announcement, it instantly becomes prime time news regardless of the actual significance of said product or statement. Because these companies have become synonymous with headline news, they have attained an element of cool that sets them apart as industry leaders, more than size, money, or output. The most impressive thing is that they make themselves perpetually relevant because they can make anything they work on seem like it is the most interesting, trendiest thing in the industry.
Additionally, I've also quickly realized that technology news is actually genuinely interesting. The thing about technology is that it's all around us and seamlessly incorporated into so many aspects of our daily lives. Of course technology is cool, because if it doesn't make our lives easier, then it exists solely because someone out there thinks it's cool. However, what could be cooler than something that fixes a problem? Innovation is often driven by a market demand for easier or better solutions to existing problems. If we as consumers truly understood the problems that technology is designed to address, it would be much easier to understand why the solution is so significant. When you have an obvious problem, what could be cooler than an easy fix?
That being said, there are also plenty of products that don't necessarily solve any real problem we have today. What problem does a Smart Watch solve? Nothing really. It might make our lives easier, but the only function we really need in a watch is to tell time. And yet, it's pretty cool to think that we could have an interactive wearable piece of technology that can do little tasks for us like update us on our social media presence, schedule things for us on synced up calendars, or even call people without need for a phone. So at the end of the day, a lot depends on how you, the company, the journalist, the PR representative, or the client understands the product. Technology is all about changing, fixing, or making things better, so if we don't find something interesting enough, maybe we just don't understand the right questions to ask.


Guess Sansar dollars are trading for significantly less than Linden hoped they would. If the SandeX market ever recovers the bundles might become good value, but while the currency remains tanked they aren't worth it.
I suspect they might not want to adjust them because it could cause the value of the currency to drop further – although 9999 looks suspisiously like a hard stop.
Also, the bundle prices themselves don't make sense. 80 for $0.99, is you buy five of those bundles you'd get 400 for $4.95 but the 400 bundle is more expensive at $4.95. Same happens at other levels, 10x 80 bundles is $9.90, 2x 400 bundles comes to $9.98 and 2x 2100 bundles comes the $49.98. They are only tiny amounts cheaper, but these sort of tiers are supposed to give better value the more you spend and that only happens on the 2100 and 8500 tiers.
I came, I saw, I… took 15 minutes¹ to load an "experience", which then crashed… I tried again with a different "experience", with much the same result.
Basically it's like they tried to re-write Second Life, with VR built in, but then forgot everything they ever learned from the earlier software. Perhaps the programmers left, perhaps they were just drunk, I dunno.
I'll keep trying of course, in case it ever gets stable… and one day, I might even get to an "experience" with another person there at the same time, though right now I consider that unlikely.
¹ Timings approximate and should be considered about as accurate as a watched kettle.

Wow! Its 2015! Another whole year has come and with it, infitely new possibilities.
Its going to be an exciting year for me. I have some new goals for this year.
First I am working on a music project. Writing and recording songs for a CD to be produced (hopefully) by the time summer rolls around. I already have three (raw) tracks completed. One of these will feature the vocals of the amazing Celeste Aldridge, who is currently unavailable for the next several weeks. When she gets back, she will be doing chorus vocals on Let Me Kiss You Goodbye.
I am planning on completing and releasing as eBooks the humorous Navy tales of the USS Armadillo (On The Trail of the Armadillo and The Armadillo Rides Again), as well as one or two more.
Finally, I am looking to finish the adventures of The LadyMoon and get it to an agent for traditional publishing.
Due to all this activity, I have decided to stop doing journalistic reporting for the year. I will be taking on the odd press release and editing assignments, so fear not if you have need of these services.
Well, that is it for now. I will get back to you all soon.
Hope you all have a wonderful and productive 2015!!
Well, I am happy to report that so much has been happening here at Reynolds Publishing Company - So much work for so many people - that I have not had time top update this blog.
I find it really funny to be saying that. But its true. Since my last posting to my own company blog, I have been posting n other blogs, have begun work in print journalism, kept up my online journalism, done multiple PR projects (both paid and pro bono) for several different organizations, worked several ghostwriting projects, been very active in the local music community (inlcuding deciding to cut my own CD - writing is writing no matter how small, to paraphrase Suess) and been involved in numerous community outreaches.
So how do you cope with making a living at writing and keeping up with your own blog? That is such a good question and one I have to say I have not been doing such a good job. But if it comes down to keeping up with a company blog and keeping my customers satisfied - I would rather do the latter.
But it does present an interesting learning lesson. How to do it?
Plain and simple. Plan to update yopur blog at least once a week, if not once a day.
Why is this important? It keeps yopur company website from being static. And static in the world of the internet is not good. Your activit on your blog equates to web activity on your website. And do not forget to social media everything you write. As writers, even ones where social media is handled by some internal department of the entity you are writing for, it is still our responsibility to get the word out. Its not vanity, its survival.
So, in your weekly activity planning, you should remember to post on your own company blog. It may not "pay" you now, but it will pay you later.
Keep it simple. You can expound on some important topic if you like. But just keeping it simple is not only a way for you to actually do it every week, but it will keep you from spending hge amounts of time on unproductive writing. I know, I said it will pay later, but that is over time. And if you are writing for a living, there are bills that need to be paid now, not later. Consider your own company website blog as an investment. You invest a little now to get a bigger return later.
Without making this post too long (and thus breaking my own rule of keeping it simple), one exception to the "keep it simple" rule of thumb is for writers whose business model includes teachnig others how to write. Then those posts should be as long as necessary. Although keeping posts short is also a good idea. Teaching is best done in short clips.
Have a great day and write, write, write!
Every day I come into the "office" (the coffee house you see in the photo on the home page), I read over my email, the events of the day, read a few newspapers, look into the analytics of current clients, write a blog entry or two, an article or two and look for more work.
That is "generally" what I do. This varies, of course, with what I get in the mail. And what "jobs" i may find or what client, or potential client, comes into the office that day.
But the one thing that I have to struggle with each day, is staying focused.
Reynolds Publishing Company encompasses ALL of my wiritng work. Which is a LOT of writing, personally (my books) and professionally (freelance, news, et al). And it is easy to get distracted by the small nuances of the day.
Family news on Facebook, personal emails, clients stopping in "just to chat", potential clients asking "what should I do if" questions, acqauintances dropping in for their daily coffee intake who want to know "so what are you working on today" or "how's the new book coming along."
Even though I always welcome the interactions, it takes a lot to stay focused. In a purely business response, I tell myself if I lose focus, I don't make money. And if I don't make money, I can't pay the bills. And if THAT happens, I have to get a "day job" and not write as much. And I love writing way too much to NOT write. So this is to be avoided.
In the response from my creative (read non-business minded) side, I have to remember that without interactions with clients, potential clients and just everyone else, I lose sight of the human factor to my business. I write, yes. But I write to help others succeed. If I have no vested interest in seeing others succeed, I can't do my job.
Thus the conundrum of working in a coffee house, which Robert Masello of The 101 Rules You Need to Know sees as a violation of Rule 7. I need to write but I need to stay connected.
Thus, I indulge in the casual conversation, even if it takes me away from writing for a few minutes. In this way I stay connected to the outside world, which is where my bsuiness comes from, after all. And I just might have an answer to the odd question or two, which doesn't hurt to dish out. And I might just pick up a new client, or add to my knowledge that I'll use later or give me an idea for an new angle on something I have been working on. Either way, it can only be a win-win situation.
So staying focused is important. And I am the only one who can do it. I have no "boss" to tell me to stay focused. I have no spouse to tell me. My kids are grown and wouldn't think to tell me to stay focused anyway. Its just me. So I wake up each day, look in the mirror and say "Focus, old man. Focus."
Its become a habit. A good habit. One I recommend to any writer at any stage in their career.
Have a great day, and stay focused.
It is so exciting to start a new business. You get to do what you love, meet great people and get paid. America is great that way.
I had such a blast doing the media blitz for Calling All Angels Thrift Shoppe. We made a big splash in a short period of time. About a month prior to the opening of the shop we started with basic press releases and moved onto building buzz in the community and the media. By the time of the Grand Opening, there was television and print media, as well as a huge surprise (even to me) from PA state Rep. Rosemary Brown's office. She sent her community liaison to present Lauren with a plaque of thanks for her commitment to the community and congratulations for her Grand Opening. Very nice.
And Lauren has been such a wonderful person to work with. Another reason I love this "job". Meeting great people. And being able to help them with their needs.
Check out Lauren's website (courtesy of yours truly). And, if you are in Pike County PA, or the Milford, PA vicinity, stop in and shop. Or better yet, do some important volunteering. All the shop's profits go to buying food for the local food pantries.
'Til next time. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah to all.
