AbsoluteXbox
2.2 / 5.0 - Mad Games Tycoon
I'm sure there is a niche market for a game like this. But for me, a game about controlling a company that makes games doesn't appeal overly.
1 / 5.0 - Police Chase
I take no joy in slating a game. Particularly when it's from a smaller developer who has likely spent a large percentage of the budget into the game. But I cannot emphasise any more how poor an effort this is. Across the board. Do not waste your money on this title.
4 / 5.0 - Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince
Trine 4 is a great success. It's strange coming into a series so late and being able to get so much enjoyment out of it. But here I am, fully recommending anyone with previous experience with Trine, and those who are just fans of fun puzzle platforming games, to check this one out.
3.6 / 5.0 - Close to the Sun
Close to the Sun is certainly an enjoyable journey, one that does include some jump scares and horror moments along the way while exploring what is a bit of a disturbing view on an alternate timeline.
4 / 5.0 - Stela
Giving the gamer flexibility to come to their own conclusions is part of the beauty of it. Does this hit the height of Limbo and Inside? Certainly not, but it does have a very good go. Anyone who is a fan of those games, should certainly be checking this out.
2.6 / 5.0 - Niffelheim
If you're looking for a new survival game with a heavy reliance on resource gathering and crafting then this could be a good consideration for you. If like me you want a fun Viking game, and don't get on with those previously mentioned things, then it's best to avoid this.
5 / 5.0 - Gears 5
I think Gears 5 is a resounding success for The Coalition and Xbox as a whole. We've been crying out for quality first party games for ages now, and Gears 5 has managed to hit the standard everyone wants.
1.8 / 5.0 - The Forbidden Arts
To summarise – I did not enjoy my time with The Forbidden Arts. It feels to me like a game that could do with an extra 6 months in development to iron out some of my niggling issues. Though, that still might not help the uninspiring narrative.
1.4 / 5.0 - Sagebrush
I really wanted to come away from Sagebrush having found a new little gem in the indie game scene. Instead I found a very short, predictable story, that I barely engaged with.
3.8 / 5.0 - Bear With Me
I would fully recommend Bear with Me: The Complete Collection to anyone looking for a narrative driven story game. Even if they wouldn't normally be drawn to a point and click adventure, I honestly believe the story itself is strong enough to carry the game beyond its mechanics.

Speed Up! is based around a mod that allows the tickrate to be changed, which effectively speeds up everything in game. Over time, the speed of the game continuously increases, making gameplay extremely difficult. The only way to reset the speed to normal is to summon a boss, a guardian of time, and kill it, resetting the speed to normal...for a while. Players must fight their way through 7 bosses before facing the Time Lord. Players start with 3 lives, and are award a life after killing each boss.

Em matemática, um grupo (frequentemente entendido como topológico) compacto é um grupo topológico cuja topologia é compacta. Grupos compactos são uma generalização natural de grupos finitos com a topologia discreta e tendo propriedades que implicam uma forma significativa. Grupos compactos tem uma teoria bem compreendida, em relação aos grupos de ação e teoria da representação.

A seguir assumiremos que todos os grupos tratados são de Hausdorff.

Grupos de Lie compactos
Grupos de Lie formam a mais adequada classe de grupos topológicos, e os grupos de Lie compactos tem uma teoria particularmente bem desenvolvida. Exemplos básicos de grupos de Lie compactos incluem

 o grupo circular T e os  grupos toróides Tn,
 os grupos ortogonais O(n), o grupo ortogonal especial SO(n) e seu grupo spin de cobertura Spin(n),
 o grupo unitário U(n) e o grupo unitário especial SU(n),
 o grupo simplético Sp(n),
 as formas compactas dos grupos de Lie excepcionais: G2, F4, E6, E7, e E8,
 todos os grupos finitos (com topologia discreta).

O teorema de classificação de grupos de Lie compactos estabelece que até as extensões finitas e coberturas finitas que exaurem a lista de exemplos (a qual já inclui algumas redundâncias).

Classificação
Dado qualquer grupo de Lie compacto G pode-se tomar seu componente identidade G0, o qual é conexo. O grupo quociente G/G0 é o grupo de componentes π0(G) os quais devem ser finitos já que G é compacto. Por isso temos uma extensão finita

Agora cada grupo Lie compacto e conexo G0 tem uma cobertura finita

onde  é um grupo abeliano finito e  é um produto de um toro e um grupo de Lie simples compacto e conexo K:

Finalmente, cada grupo de Lie simples compacto e conexo K é um produto grupos de Lie simples compactos, conexos e simplesmente conexos Ki cada um dos quais é isomórfico a exatamente um de

 Sp(n), n ≥ 1
 SU(n), n ≥ 3
 Spin(n), n ≥ 7
 G2, F4, E6, E7, ou E8

Exemplos adicionais
Entre grupos que não são grupos de Lie, e assim não procede a estrutura de uma variedade, exemplos são o grupo aditivo Zp dos inteiros p-ádicos, e construções deles. De fato quaisquer grupo profinito é um grupo compacto. Isto significa que grupos de Galois, com a topologia de Krull, são grupos compactos, um fato básico para a teoria de extensões algébricas no caso de grau infinito.

A dualidade de Pontryagin fornece uma grande quantidade de exemplos de grupos compacto comutativos. Estes estão em dualidade com grupos discretos abelianos.

Medida de Haar
Todos os grupos compactos comportam uma medida de Haar, a qual será invariante tanto para a translação para esquerda quanto para a direita (a função módulo deve ser emhomomorfismo contínuo aos positivos multiplicativos reais, e assim 1). Em outras palavras estes grupos são unimodulares. A medida de Haar é facilmente normalizada para ser uma medida probabilística, análoga a dθ/2π sobre o círculo.

Tem-se assim que uma medida de Haar é em muitos casos fácil de calcular; por exemplo, para grupos ortogonais é conhecida pelo teorema dos automorfismos de Hurwitz, e no caso de grupo de Lie pode sempre ser dada por uma forma diferencial invariante. No caso profinito existem muitos subgrupos de índice finito, e a medida de Haar de um co-conjunto será o recíproco do índice. Portanto integrais são frequentemente calculáveis inteiramente de maneira direta, um fato aplicado constantemente em teoria dos números.

Teoria da representação
A teoria da representação de grupos compactos foi fundada pelo teorema de Peter-Weyl. Hermann Weyl passou a apresentgar uma teoria do caráter detalhada dos grupos de Lie compactos conexos, baseada na teoria do toro máximo. A fórmula do caráter de Weyl resultante foi um dos mais influentes resultados da matemática do século XX.

A combinação do trabalho de Weyl e o teorema de Cartan resulta inteiramente da teoria da representação de grupos compactos G. Isto é, pelo teorema de Peter-Weyl as representações unitárias irreduzíveis ρ de G estão em um grupo unitário (de dimensão finita) e a imagem irá ser um subgrupo fechado do grupo unitário por capactabilidade. O teorema de Cartan estabelece que Im(ρ) deve ser ele próprio um subgrupo de Lie no grupo unitário. Se G não é ele próprio um grupo de Lie, deve haver um núcleo para ρ. Além disso pode-se formar um sistema inverso, para o núcleo de ρ menor e menor, de representações unitárias dimensionalmente finitas, os quais identifica G como um limite inverso de grupos de Lie compactos. Aqui, o fato que no limite uma representação fiel de G é encontrada é outra consequência do teorema de Peter-Weyl.

A parte desconhecida da teoria da representação é assim, a grosso modo, retornando às representações complexas de grupos finitos. Esta teoria é um tanto rica em detalhes, mas é qualitativamente bem entendida.

Dualidade
O tema da cobertura de um grupo compacto de sua teoria da representação é o tema da dualidade Tannaka-Krein, agora, muitas vezes reformulada em termos da teoria da categoria Tannakiana.

De grupos compactos a não compactos
A influência da teoria dos grupos compactos sobre grupos não compactos foi formulada por Weyl em seu truque unitário. Dentro de um grupo de Lie semisimples geral há um subgrupo compacto máximo, e a teoria da representação de tais grupos, desenvolvida grandemente por Harish-Chandra, usa intensivamente a restrição de uma representação a tal subgrupo, e também o modelo da teoria do carácter de Weyl.

'Walking Dead' Postmortem: Dallas Roberts on Milton's Twisted Fate
March 31, 2013 Lesley Goldberg
Gene Page/AMC
"The Walking Dead's" Dallas Roberts
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Sunday's season three finale of The Walking Dead.]
To say there were losses on Sunday's season three finale of AMC's The Walking Dead would be an understatement.
During the "Welcome to the Tombs" episode, written by departing showrunner Glen Mazzara, Milton (Dallas Roberts) paid the price for betraying the Governor's (David Morrissey) trust.
After essentially confessing he was the one responsible for destroying the pool of biters the Governor was planning to turn on Rick (Andrew Lincoln), the Governor tortured Milton for turning on him. Following the brutal beat-down, the Governor demands Milton kill his partner in peace Andrea (Laurie Holden) to prove his loyalties. When only Milton refuses to do it and makes a play to kill the Woodbury leader, he's stabbed in the stomach and locked in the torture chamber with Andrea, where he'll reanimate and follow through on the job just the same.
It was a heartbreaking ending not only for Milton but also for Andrea. After Milton leaves a tool to help Andrea escape cavity, she barely manages to free herself and put Zombie Milton down -- but not before he took a bite out of her and effectively sealed her fate.
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Roberts to discuss Milton's brutal demise and his message to fans of the Robert Kirkman comics who may be upset over Andrea's demise.
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead's' Most Shocking Deaths
The Hollywood Reporter: When did you find out Milton wouldn't survive the season?
Dallas Roberts: I got the death call from Mazzara. We had gone on hiatus and episode 14 was changing. I was in New York at the time and Glen explained how it was going to go down. It was bittersweet but exciting. The original pitch was that Milton got shot in the stomach and left to bleed out. We shot that version and then two months later came back and shot the version you saw. So we shot two different versions at the end, both of which did exactly the same thing.
THR: What was your reaction when you learned that Milton would be responsible for Andrea's death?
Roberts: I thought Walking Dead fans are going to hate me for the rest of the time for taking out one of the core group. But if you're going to go out, you might as well go out swinging. Hopefully there is some spark left in Milton even when he's undead so all his research wouldn't be for nothing (laughs).
THR: Being left to reanimate is more cruel than if the Governor had just shot him in the head. Was it always the plan to have Milton stabbed in the stomach, turn and bite Andrea?
Roberts: That's right in the Governor's wheelhouse of being such a cruel psychopath. By the time we reshot the scene, there were some different ideas about what their time in the room together was going to be like. The original plan had Milton shot in the stomach and there were much more active attempts to break out of the door to find some tool by which to free Andrea. The time that Milton and Andrea had together was a lot more active in terms of attempting to try and free her, and that ultimately failed. This time, Milton is so incapacitated by the stabbing that he's left a wrench for her to break out with, but she's doing all the work to free herself while he bleeds out in the corner.
THR: Do you think Milton deserved such a cruel fate after working so diligently for the Governor?
Roberts: When Milton sets the pit of walkers on fire and removes some soldiers from the Governor's army and then comes back to the Governor and says, "I really hope you find out who did this," that was a suicide mission on some level, that Milton knew he was going to pay for that. He thought he'd rather die that way than have to live under the new regime in the impending war. He doesn't know that Andrea is locked up in the torture chamber/interrogation room. That he certainly doesn't deserve. Milton didn't deserve half the stuff that happened that happened to him! (Laughs.)
PHOTOS: The 'Dead' and the Red: 'The Walking Dead Cast in Character and on the Red Carpet
THR: You mentioned you're worried Walking Dead fans may be upset over Milton's role in the death of a major character. What message do you have to those fans?
Roberts: (Laughing) No. 1, it wasn't my fault and it wasn't my idea! No. 2, they'll take out anybody! It's a smart thing that Kirkman has done in that it allows him the latitude to have these two different worlds in the comics and on the show and have some difference there so you can keep super-fans on their toes. No one is going to see it coming and that's a fun thing to do for people who are really invested.
THR: Do you know whose idea it was to kill Andrea off? Was that something Mazzara spoke to you about?
Roberts: No, but I have to think it was Mazzara's idea to kill Andrea just because of our conversations leading up to it. Early on, there were conversations about Andrea and Milton attempting a hit on the Governor and that failing. That didn't come to pass and I have to think that that's where he was leaning. The only end there is if we try and kill him and miss but then he's coming for us for revenge. The only options there are Andrea and Milton escape back into the woods and or that he gets us and in this version, he gets us.
THR: What was it like working with Laurie Holden filming that scene?
Roberts: It was tough, I was losing a gig. When they call and tell you you're going to die, it means this job is over and you're not going to make it to the fourth season. For Laurie, she was there from the ground up and it was her family. She was so raw about that, that it was a powerful scene to shoot with her. Then two months later they called us to shoot the scene again (laughs). It was really brutal and heartfelt, and it was easy to get to because we were both saying goodbye to The Walking Dead and we were saying goodbye to each other through the guise of Milton and Andrea. They were special days.
THR: Did you and Laurie get a death dinner?
Roberts: I'm sure she did, I'm sure they had one for her! Milton didn't get a death dinner because I basically just existed in Woodbury (laughs). I didn't meet half the people in the prison the entire time I was there so in that sense it was like we were shooting two different shows and some people would transfer in between them. It would have felt odd for everyone to rally around Milton when only Andrea and Merle (Michael Rooker) were the only two people we knew from The Walking Dead seasons one and two that had anything to do with him.
STORY: 'The Walking Dead' Cast Bids Glen Mazzara Farewell
THR: Milton makes an attempt to kill the Governor after he's been beaten and does what he can to help Andrea. Do you think Milton died a hero?
Roberts: He died attempting to do what ever he could to do the right thing. He didn't sacrifice himself for anything, in fact his plan -- like every other plan or idea that Milton ever had the entire season -- fails or the Governor says no to. Even following Andrea to the prison changed and he brings Tyreese (Chad Coleman) and his group back to Woodbury. In that sense, that last idea he had failed miserably. When he falls into that room and realizes that not only is Andrea not gone, but she's here and he's going to end up taking her life -- I don't think you'd classify that as heroic.
THR: Technically Tyreese being in Woodbury ultimately saves all the people in Woodbury when they go back to the prison. So if you stretch it …
Roberts: Sure, I'll take it! (Laughs.) That's where Milton's heart was the whole time: there are people in Woodbury who can use our help and that's the place where they can get it. That was his motivating force throughout the season, that Woodbury was going to be the safe haven. Once it became clear that it wasn't the case, he had to go.
THR: The Governor winds up escaping after the mass-murder of most of his Woodbury army. What do you hope his fate is?
Roberts: He's such a rich character. In the comics, he shows up as this complete force of evil and stuff with him and Michonne -- which they chose not to depict in the television show -- you hate the guy immediately. He's the first human villain The Walking Dead has had. They did a great job of building the Governor up from a force for half-good into a force for evil. Watching David play that part and slowly twist over the course of 16 episodes, he's primed now to be a thorn in their side for a while. I know I'll enjoy watching season four. Michonne (Danai Gurira) did break into his house, take his eye and then kill his daughter in front of him. One of them is probably going to get him at some point! If The Walking Dead has taught us anything, it's that it'll be in a way we don't expect.
What did you think of The Walking Dead season finale? Do you think Milton deserved to die? Are you upset he took a bite out of Andrea? Hit the comments with your thoughts. The Walking Dead returns in October on AMC.

Posterized Propaganda May 2013: Super Sequel Summer with 'Iron Man,' 'Hangover,' 'Star Trek,' 'Fast & Furious' & More
"Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover" is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry's willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.

REVIEW: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows [2011]
"Careful what you fish for" I am and probably always will be a Guy Ritchie apologist. I blamed Madonna for Swept Away and even bought a Region 2 DVD of Revolver in case it never made its way across the Atlantic. So when the director signed on to do a blockbuster studio version of Sherlock Holmes, I wasn't sure what to think. On one hand it's success would mean the hoped for sequel to RocknRolla had a better chance of seeing the light of day, but on the other it…

Q: Running a Ruby website on localhost After looking at other similar posts, I still need help.
My friend sent me a 1.3gb .zip file with a bunch of folders and scripts.  He says it's using Ruby.  I am completely clueless about Ruby, I know Java and HTML though.  How can I run this on my computer to test out the website?

A: These are the general steps used to run a Ruby on Rails web site on localhost.  These are the things you will usually do, but may not be everything needed.  Whether or not the site will work on your box will depend upon its external dependencies and upon your operating system.
This is not meant to be a how-to: Everything I mention here, you'll have to research how to do.  This is meant to be a general cook-book to get your started.  Your particular web site may have steps not mentioned here.

*

*If you are running a different OS than the web site was written for, spin up a Virtual Machine with the web site's OS and use that.

*Install the version of Ruby that the web site requires.  You should be able to successfully execute the commands ruby --version and gem list.

*Run bundle install in order to install required Ruby gems.

*Install whatever database engine the site requires.

*Configure config/database.yml to point to the database.

*Run rake db:setup to create the database.

*Run rails s to start the project.

Coed y Brenin (Welsh for King's Forest) is a forest in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales near Dolgellau at . It is popular for its mountain bike trails and hiking paths. It has several man-made mountain bike singletrack courses in a woodland setting, varying in length from 12 to 38 km (7 to 23 mi), and one dual slalom course.

The site is owned and operated by Natural Resources Wales, and covers an area of some 9,000 acres (36 km2) around the valleys of the rivers Mawddach, Eden, Gain and Wen. There is no charge for using the trails, but there is a charge for the car park at Coed y Brenin Visitor Centre. This costs £1 for 1 hour, £3 for 3 hours and £5 for all day parking. All of the proceeds go towards the maintenance and improvement of the forest trails.

Coed y Brenin was identified as a potential mountain bike race course in 1990, and the first races were held there in 1991. The initial course had to be chopped out of an impassable rock-strewn terrain.

Shortly afterwards a Mountain Biking hire shop, together with a visitor centre and café were opened at Maesgwm. Five waymarked trails were developed by Dafydd Davis who was employed by Forest Enterprise as a Forest Sports Development Adviser, grew Coed y Brenin into a major UK mountain biking centre. Davis received an MBE in the 2004 Queen's Birthday Honours list for 'services to forestry' relating to his work on this resort.

A new £1.6 million visitor centre opened in the summer of 2006. Since the opening of the centre, the trail offering has grown to eight mountain biking trails, eight walking trails and five running trails. These trails are way marked.

The visitor information desk is available seven days per week, throughout the year (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day) during the gift shop opening hours of 10:00hrs and 16:00hrs. There are a number of picnic tables around the main car parks within Coed y Brenin Forest Park plus many more on the waymarked walking trails. Some of the picnic tables have metal frames for holding disposable barbeques. There are also stone BBQ plinths in Glasdir and Ty'n y Groes picnic sites.

Mountain bike trails
In the late 1980s, Mark Willmore first had talks with the Forestry Commission about bringing mountain biking onto forestry commission land. Willmore ran the first trail centre at Coed-y-Brenin. Davis took up the baton the following season and has had an influential role in making the centre what it is today. Willmore and his then French business partner, Sophie Rebore that brought the French MBK brand of MTB to Wales after seeing the potential of this then fledgling sport in the French ski resorts. Currently E-Bikes or electric bikes are not allowed on the trails due to the higher wear and tear they cause.

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that infects chiefly urogenital and ocular epithelial cells. In some infected women the microorganism migrates to the upper reproductive tract resulting in a chronic, but asymptomatic, infection. The immune response to this infection, production of interferon-γ and pro-inflammatory cytokines, results in interruption of chlamydial intracellular replication. However, the Chlamydia remains viable and enters into a persistent state. In this form, most chlamydial genes are inactive. An exception is the gene coding for the 60 kDa heat shock protein (hsp60), which is synthesized in increased amounts and is released into the extracellular milieu. The chronic release of chlamydial hsp60 induces a local pro-inflammatory immune response in fallopian tube epithelia and results in scar formation and tubal occlusion. In addition, long-term exposure of the maternal immune system to the chlamydial hsp60 eventually results in the release of tolerance and generation of an immune response that recognizes regions of the chlamydial hsp60 that are also present in the human hsp60. Production of cross-reacting antibodies and cell-mediated immunity to the human hsp60 is detrimental to subsequent pregnancy outcome and may also possibly increase susceptibility to atherosclerosis, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies.

Italy - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture
By: Barry Tomalin
Italy delights and stimulates with its magnificent cities and monuments, its stunningly beautiful landscapes, the glory of its art and architecture, the richness and variety of its food, the elegance of its design and fashion, and the vitality and charm of its people. Italian style and culture have been exported all over the world. What is it like at home? Almost ten years after the 2008 banking crisis, Italy struggles to maintain its standard of living, the stability of the currency, and its ability to provide jobs for its school leavers and university graduates, many of whom now leave to work elsewhere in Europe. In addition, the influx of refugees from southeast Europe and across the Mediterranean is putting pressure on both its security and its economy. How are traditional Italian society and politics changing to deal with these challenges, with its most famous political personality of the last ten years, the former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, still apparently waiting in the wings? The Italians are the most European-minded of nations, having emerged from a long history of regional fragmentation. Culture Smart! Italy introduces you to their history and culture and offers an insider's guide to their daily lives, passions, and preoccupations. This is your chance to get to know them better.

From Pompeii: The Afterlife of a Roman Town

Gomorrah: A Personal Journey into the Violent International Empire of Naples' Organized Crime System
By: Roberto Saviano
The basis of the Sundance TV series Gomorrah A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA groundbreaking, unprecedented bestseller in Italy, Roberto Saviano's insider account traces the decline of the city of Naples under the rule of the Camorra, an organized crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia. The Camorra is an elaborate, international system dealing in drugs, high fashion, construction, and toxic waste, and its influence has entirely transformed life in Campania, the province surrounding Naples. Since seeing his first murder victim, at thirteen, Roberto Saviano has watched the changes in his home city. For Gomorrah, he disappeared into the Camorra and witnessed up close the drug cartel's audacious, sophisticated, and far-reaching corruption that has paralyzed his home city and introduced the world to a new breed of organized crime.
La Bella Figura: A Field Guide to the Italian Mind
By: Beppe Severgnini
Join the bestselling author of Ciao, America! on a lively tour of modern Italy that takes you behind the seductive face it puts on for visitors—la bella figura—and highlights its maddening, paradoxical true self You won't need luggage for this hypothetical and hilarious trip into the hearts and minds of Beppe Severgnini's fellow Italians. In fact, Beppe would prefer if you left behind the baggage his crafty and elegant countrymen have smuggled into your subconscious. To get to his Italia, you'll need to forget about your idealized notions of Italy. Although La Bella Figura will take you to legendary cities and scenic regions, your real destinations are the places where Italians are at their best, worst, and most authentic: The highway: in America, a red light has only one possible interpretation—Stop! An Italian red light doesn't warn or order you as much as provide an invitation for reflection. The airport: where Italians prove that one of their virtues (an appreciation for beauty) is really a vice. Who cares if the beautiful girls hawking cell phones in airport kiosks stick you with an outdated model? That's the price of gazing upon perfection.The small town: which demonstrates the Italian genius for pleasant living: "a congenial barber . . . a well-stocked newsstand . . . professionally made coffee and a proper pizza; bell towers we can recognize in the distance, and people with a kind word and a smile for everyone."The chaos of the roads, the anarchy of the office, the theatrical spirit of the hypermarkets, and garrulous train journeys; the sensory reassurance of a church and the importance of the beach; the solitude of the soccer stadium and the crowded Italian bedroom; the vertical fixations of the apartment building and the horizontal democracy of the eat-in kitchen. As you venture to these and many other locations rooted in the Italian psyche, you realize that Beppe has become your Dante and shown you a country that "has too much style to be hell" but is "too disorderly to be heaven." Ten days, thirty places. From north to south. From food to politics. From saintliness to sexuality. This ironic, methodical, and sentimental examination will help you understand why Italy—as Beppe says—"can have you fuming and then purring in the space of a hundred meters or ten minutes."
Pompeii Awakened: A Story of Rediscovery by Judith Harris (2014-12-12)
By: Judith Harris
Pompeii: Public and Private Life (Revealing Antiquity)
By: Paul Zanker
Pompeii's tragedy is our windfall: an ancient city fully preserved, its urban design and domestic styles speaking across the ages. This richly illustrated book conducts us through the captured wonders of Pompeii, evoking at every turn the life of the city as it was 2,000 years ago. When Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. its lava preserved not only the Pompeii of that time but a palimpsest of the city's history, visible traces of the different societies of Pompeii's past. Paul Zanker, a noted authority on Roman art and architecture, disentangles these tantalizing traces to show us the urban images that marked Pompeii's development from country town to Roman imperial city. Exploring Pompeii's public buildings, its streets and gathering places, we witness the impact of religious changes, the renovation of theaters and expansion of athletic facilities, and the influence of elite families on the city's appearance. Through these stages, Zanker adeptly conjures a sense of the political and social meanings in urban planning and public architecture. The private houses of Pompeii prove equally eloquent, their layout, decor, and architectural detail speaking volumes about the life, taste, and desires of their owners. At home or in public, at work or at ease, these Pompeians and their world come alive in Zanker's masterly rendering. A provocative and original reading of material culture, his work is an incomparable introduction to urban life in antiquity.
Vesuvius (Wonders of the World)
By: Gillian Darley
The cataclysm that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79 continues to fascinate nearly two thousand years later. Darley's meditation on a powerful natural wonder touches on pagan beliefs, vulcanology, and travel writing, as it sifts through the ashes of Vesuvius to expose changes in our understanding of cultural and natural environments.
HERCULANEUM. Italy's Buried Treasure.
By: Joseph Jay Deiss
The Fires of Vesuvius: Pompeii Lost and Found
By: Mary Beard
Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, visited by more than two million people each year. Yet it is also one of the most puzzling, with an intriguing and sometimes violent history, from the sixth century BCE to the present day. Destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 CE, the ruins of Pompeii offer the best evidence we have of life in the Roman Empire. But the eruptions are only part of the story. In The Fires of Vesuvius, acclaimed historian Mary Beard makes sense of the remains. She explores what kind of town it was―more like Calcutta or the Costa del Sol?―and what it can tell us about "ordinary" life there. From sex to politics, food to religion, slavery to literacy, Beard offers us the big picture even as she takes us close enough to the past to smell the bad breath and see the intestinal tapeworms of the inhabitants of the lost city. She resurrects the Temple of Isis as a testament to ancient multiculturalism. At the Suburban Baths we go from communal bathing to hygiene to erotica. Recently, Pompeii has been a focus of pleasure and loss: from Pink Floyd's memorable rock concert to Primo Levi's elegy on the victims. But Pompeii still does not give up its secrets quite as easily as it may seem. This book shows us how much more and less there is to Pompeii than a city frozen in time as it went about its business on 24 August 79.
D. H. Lawrence and Italy: Sketches from Etruscan Places, Sea and Sardinia, Twilight in Italy (Penguin Classics)
By: D. H. Lawrence
In these impressions of the Italian countryside, Lawrence transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty. Twilight in Italy is a vibrant account of Lawrence's stay among the people of Lake Garda, whose decaying lemon gardens bear witness to the twilight of a way of life centuries old. In 'Sea and Sardinia', Lawrence brings to life the vigorous spontaneity of a society as yet untouched by the deadening effect of industrialization. And 'Etruscan Places' is a beautiful and delicate work of literary art, the record of 'a dying man drinking from the founts of a civilization dedicated to life.'For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Falling Palace: A Romance of Naples
By: Dan Hofstadter
A portrait of the sun-drenched volcanic city from an American who has lost his heart to the place and to a beguiling Neapolitan woman.In Falling Palace Dan Hofstadter brilliantly reveals Naples, from the dilapidated architectural beauty to the irrepressible theater of everyday life. We witness the centuries-old festivals that regularly crowd the city's jumbled streets, and eavesdrop on conversations that continue deep into the night. We browse the countless curio shops where treasures mingle with kitsch, and meet the locals he befriends. In and out of these encounters slips Benedetta, the object of the author's affections, at once inviting and unfathomable. Weaving the tale of an elusive love together with a vivid portrayal of a legendary metropolis, this is a startling evocation of a magical place.

My Brilliant Friend: Neapolitan Novels, Book One
By: Elena Ferrante
Premiering November 2018 as an HBO series.Book one in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends growing up in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted family epic by Italy's most beloved and acclaimed writer, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Ferrante's four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its protagonists, the fiery and unforgettable Lila, and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflictual friendship. Book one in the series follows Lila and Elena from their first fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists."An intoxicatingly furious portrait of enmeshed friends," writes Entertainment Weekly. "Spectacular," says Maureen Corrigan on NPR's Fresh Air. "A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman," writes James Wood in The New Yorker.Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With My Brilliant Friend she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.
Pompeii: A Novel
By: Robert Harris
BESTSELLER - "Terrific... gripping... A literally shattering climax." -- The New York Times Book Review All along the Mediterranean coast, the Roman empire's richest citizens are relaxing in their luxurious villas, enjoying the last days of summer. The world's largest navy lies peacefully at anchor in Misenum. The tourists are spending their money in the seaside resorts of Baiae, Herculaneum, and Pompeii. But the carefree lifestyle and gorgeous weather belie an impending cataclysm, and only one man is worried. The young engineer Marcus Attilius Primus has just taken charge of the Aqua Augusta, the enormous aqueduct that brings fresh water to a quarter of a million people in nine towns around the Bay of Naples. His predecessor has disappeared. Springs are failing for the first time in generations. And now there is a crisis on the Augusta' s sixty-mile main line—somewhere to the north of Pompeii, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Attilius—decent, practical, and incorruptible—promises Pliny, the famous scholar who commands the navy, that he can repair the aqueduct before the reservoir runs dry. His plan is to travel to Pompeii and put together an expedition, then head out to the place where he believes the fault lies. But Pompeii proves to be a corrupt and violent town, and Attilius soon discovers that there are powerful forces at work—both natural and man-made—threatening to destroy him. With his trademark elegance and intelligence, Robert Harris, bestselling author of Archangel and Fatherland, re-creates a world on the brink of disaster.
The Track of Sand (The Inspector Montalbano Mysteries Book 12)
By: Andrea Camilleri
"You either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven't read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen. Aglow with local color, packed with flint-dry wit, as fresh and clean as Mediterranean seafood — altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano." A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window Inspector Salvatore Montalbano wakes from strange dreams to find a gruesomely bludgeoned horse carcass in front of his seaside home. When his men came to investigate, the carcass has disappeared, leaving only a trail in the sand. Then his home is ransacked and the inspector is certain that the crimes are linked. As he negotiates both the glittering underworld of horseracing and the Mafia's connection to it, Montalbano is aided by his illiterate housekeeper, Adelina, and a Proustian memory of linguate fritte. Longtime fans and new readers alike will be charmed by Montalbano's blend of unorthodox methods, melancholy self-reflection, and love of good food.

A Note About Costs
All prices are based on two persons sharing a room/cabin. All prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. Tour costs are based upon current airfares, tariffs, currency values, and on the basis of a presumptive minimum number of participants. While we will do everything possible to maintain the listed prices, they are subject to change. Due to fluctuations in oil prices, a fuel surcharge may be added to your tour fee (e.g. internal flights, cruises, etc.). Details and costs will be advised prior to departure.
If the tour of your choice is fully subscribed, you may choose to be placed on a waitlist by contacting a Reservation Specialist at 1-855-330-1542 Mon-Fri 9 am - 7 pm; Sat 9 am – 4 pm (Eastern Time), or SJReservations@si.edu. Individuals on the wait list will be contacted if space becomes available and can inquire about tour status by contacting a Reservation Specialist. If you choose to withdraw from a wait list, please notify us.
Following enrollment, a participant's withdrawal from the tour for any reason, including, but not limited to, illness, injury, family engagements, work-related issues, or geopolitical concerns, etc., will be deemed a cancellation.

If your flights are delayed or if for any reason you are prevented from joining the tour on the scheduled departure date and time, or if you choose to leave the tour early, we cannot provide a full or partial refund or credit toward a future tour. Smithsonian Journeys reserves the right to cancel any tour due to low enrollment and when a U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory is issued for the destination.
Changes to Your Reservation
We will not charge a fee for any changes made to your reservation outside 95 days (final payment) of departure. From 94 to 30 days before departure, if you make any changes to your reservation, a $100 per person administrative fee will apply, in addition to any fees or penalties imposed by airlines, hotels, or other third parties. Changes are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. If your reservation changes from double occupancy to single occupancy for any reason or at any time, you will be charged the single supplement.
Please note that no changes to your departure date and no name changes are allowed within 95 days of departure. No changes to your reservation can be made within 30 days of departure.
For tours that include round-trip international airfare, rates are based on economy class from designated departure cities as shown. Airfares from other cities are available upon request. Airline upgrades at additional cost may be available on request for the international portion of your flight. If an air schedule requires an overnight stay in a gateway city, the cost of the overnight will be at your expense. For tours that include round-trip international airfare, we will be happy to help with arrangements.
Individual Arrivals and Group Transfers
A designated group flight is not included on most tours. Your first tour bulletin will thoroughly explain the details of the options available for your individual flights. Airport transfers (when applicable) are complimentary for both Flex Air participants and participants who are able to meet the scheduled group departure times. Reservations are required.
Air Service/Tickets Purchased Independently of the Tour
International and domestic air schedules are subject to change at any time. If you make your own airline reservations, we recommend that you do not purchase nonrefundable tickets or tickets with high penalties for changes.
We urge you to check airline cancellation penalties before purchasing airline tickets since international departure times and flights can change. Neither the Smithsonian Institution nor the tour operator accepts liability for cancellation penalties related to domestic or international airline tickets purchased independently in conjunction with a tour.
Travel Documents and Information
Participants are responsible for obtaining any documents required for their participation in the tour such as a valid passport, all visas, vaccination certificates, and any other documents. If your tour requires a visa or other entry documents, we will send you the appropriate information after you make a reservation. Failure to obtain documents does not negate the terms and conditions, and any extra costs incurred for rerouting or delay due to travel without the necessary documents will be the participant's responsibility. If you are not a U.S. citizen, please contact your embassy or consulate to ensure you obtain the proper documentation.
For all international departures, a passport valid for at least six months after the completion of your tour, and with at least six blank visa pages, is required for U.S. citizens on all tours. The U.S. Department of State will no longer add visa pages into U.S. passports beginning January 1, 2016. The decision to discontinue this service was made to enhance the security of the passport and to abide by international passport standards. Beginning January 1, 2016, applicants in need of additional pages in their valid passports must obtain a new passport. For more information on how or where to apply, please visit Travel.State.Gov/ApplyEarly or call the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 1-877-487-2778/1-888-874-7793 (TTY/TTD).
For more information about traveling to destinations abroad, we recommend the "Learn about your destination" section on the U.S. Department of State travel website www.travel.state.gov. For medical information, we recommend contacting the Centers for Disease Control at (877) FYI-TRIP or www.cdc.gov/travel
Physical and Medical Considerations
To enjoy the travel experience, participants should be in good physical and mental health. All tours require an element of walking (up to two miles per day over uneven terrain) and of climbing stairs, often without handrails. Participants should have sufficient stamina to keep pace with an active group of participants on long days of touring. If you have any questions about your ability to participate in a tour, please call us at 855-330-1542. Any physical condition, diet, or special request for accommodation must be identified in writing on the Personal Information Form when the reservation is made. Some tours have additional information regarding physical and medical considerations, which may be discussed with the Reservation Specialist at 855-330-1542.
Please be aware that health care standards, facilities, and services abroad may be different or even inadequate for treating certain health conditions. It is essential that you inform us in writing (on the provided Personal Information Form) of any existing condition for which you may require medical attention or accommodation during the tour. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the needs of our participants; however, services of a personal nature cannot be expected or guaranteed. By forwarding the deposit for pre-registration or registration in full, you affirm that you do not have any physical or other limitations that would create a hazard for yourself or other participants or would require adjustments to the tour for other participants.
Itinerary or Tour Modifications
Smithsonian Journeys strives to improve tour itineraries and their features. If improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, at our sole discretion, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute elements of the tour. These elements include, but are not limited to: hotels, staff, speakers, experts, and services for any stated in the itinerary.
Every effort will be made to carry out the tour as planned but alterations may still occur after the final itinerary has been sent to you. Please note that weather and other conditions may force changes to the advertised sailing schedule on cruise tours. The ship's captain has the authority to change the ship's schedule. Smithsonian Journeys and the tour operator reserve the right to substitute motorcoach transportation using hotels, inns or lodges for cruise accommodations if necessary due to weather, water conditions or levels, other events of force majeure, mechanical, or other conditions beyond their control.
Smithsonian Journeys chooses hotels based on a combination of location, service, atmosphere, and price. On adventure tours and tours in out-of-the-way places, best-available hotels are used. Tour prices are based on two persons sharing a room with a bath.
Singles and Roommates
Hotel rooms are always reserved for single participants, however, the number of single rooms available on a tour may be limited. Therefore we recommend that you register early. Please note that a single supplement will most likely apply for a single room. If you are traveling alone and wish to share a room/cabin, we will do our best to find someone of the same gender and smoking preference to share with you. If you are matched with a non-smoking roommate, it is mutually agreed that you cannot smoke in your hotel room/cabin. When a roommate cannot be found, a single supplement will be charged. Please note that the single rooms in many foreign hotels may be smaller than those to which you are accustomed.
All tours except family journeys, are designed for adults. Some may be suitable for children 16 and older. Regardless of age, children must pay full price unless otherwise noted, moreover, a parent or guardian must accompany those under 18.
Participants may wish to extend their stay in the group hotel either before or after the tour. Our tour operators will work with you on these arrangements, dependent upon space availability. Your pre-tour bulletins will further explain all options.
Should you decide not to participate in certain parts of the tour or use certain goods included in the tour, no refunds will be made for those unused parts of the tour or goods.
If a complaint arises, the participant should first inform a member of the on-tour staff, so that the staff can attempt to rectify the matter. If the issue remains unresolved, the individual should submit the complaint in writing to Smithsonian Journeys within 30 days of the completion of the tour.
The Smithsonian Journeys staff will make a good faith effort to resolve any dispute. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the parties may agree to use a method of non-binding Alternative Dispute Resolution to resolve the dispute. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on the method of Alternative Dispute Resolution to use, or in the event that either party is dissatisfied with the outcome of that alternative dispute resolution method, such efforts shall not constitute a waiver by either party of the right to file suit.
Participants on tour may be photographed or recorded (audio and video) for the educational and promotional purposes of the Smithsonian Institution and Smithsonian authorized third parties. This content may be used in marketing publications and posted on websites to promote Smithsonian Journeys without compensation to the participant. Participants who prefer that their name, voice and/or image not be used must notify us in writing prior to the beginning of the tour.
For the comfort of all participants, we ask that there be no smoking during all group activities, including excursions and meals. On certain cruises, there is no smoking aboard the ship. Your pre-tour bulletins will provide further information.

Their analysis focuses on the probability of switching from the non-intention to the intention to buy electric cars using probabilistic choice models to look at the impact of price/performance improvements. Authors found that price reduction is the main factor affecting the switch to the intention to buy. Moreover, increasing the driving range matters for consumers with low initial values of the intention to buy, while being able to recharge at home matters for consumers with high initial values of the intention to buy.


We have been running our Research Programme since 1993, focused on the key themes and challenges faced by water companies in the UK and Ireland. In that time we have successfully delivered around 1,500 projects. This work is collated under various Research Themes, providing quick access to past, present and future projects and their associated outcomes.
UKWIR have developed 12 Big Questions to tackle the key challenges faced by the industry, now and in the future. These were identified through extensive consultation and discussion with our members and stakeholders. These questions are grouped under four principle areas.
These four areas are slightly different from our six research themes. More information on our Big Questions can be seen here.

For the museum named after him, see Bhau Daji Lad Museum.
Bhau Daji Lad (Ramakrishna Vitthal Lad) (1822–74) was an Indian physician, Sanskrit scholar, and an antiquary, of the Marathi community, who hailed from a little village in Goa called Parsem who later moved to Mumbai. He was born in 1822 in Mandrem, Goa.
Dr. Bhau's career is a striking instance of great results arising from small accidents. An Englishman, noticing his acumen at chess convinced his father to give the boy an English education.
Bhau moved to Mumbai and completed his schooling at the Elphinstone Institution. Around this time he won a prize for writing an essay on infanticide, and was appointed a teacher in the Elphinstone Institution. He then studied medicine at the Grant Medical College. He belonged to the class of 1850, the first graduating batch of the college.
In 1851, he started practising medicine in Mumbai and became very successful. He studied the Sanskrit literature of medicine. He also tested the value of drugs to which the ancient Hindus had ascribed marvellous powers, among other pathological subjects of historical interest investigating that of leprosy.
Being an ardent promoter of education, he was appointed a member of the board of education in Mumbai. He was one of the original fellows of the University of Bombay. He was the first president of native origin, of the Students' Literary and Scientific Society. He was the champion of the cause of female education. A girls' school was founded in his name, for which an endowment was provided by his friends and admirers.
He took great and active interest in the political developments happening in India. The Bombay Association and the Bombay branch of the East Indian Association owe their existence to his ability and exertions. In honour of Dr. Bhau Daji, a road is named after him at King's Circle in Matunga, Mumbai. He was twice chosen sheriff of Mumbai, once in 1869 and again in 1871.
Various scientific societies in England, France, Germany and the United States conferred their membership on him. He contributed numerous papers to the journal of the Bombay branch of the Royal Asiatic Society.
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai.
He amassed a large collection of rare ancient Indian coins. He studied Indian antiquities, deciphering inscriptions and ascertaining the dates and history of ancient Sanskrit authors. He died in May 1874.
The Mumbai Victoria & Albert Museum was renamed after him in 1975, and stands testimony to his contribution to the field of arts and heritage.

We told you that Lady Gaga was going to FarmVille but I don't think anything could prepare you for this video of what happened when she got there.
Sometimes you need to explain things; set up the story, provide some background or lay out a few facts to give context to the situation. Other times, it's better to just get out of the way and let the matter speak for itself. This, I think, is one of those times.
If you have absolutely no idea what's going on as you watch this, you can get the low-down here, but the Reader's Digest version is that Zynga and Lady Gaga partnered up for a bizarre FarmVille/Born This Way crossover promotion featuring something called GagaVille. That probably doesn't help much either, does it? I suppose you could always sign up for FarmVille and go visit the Lady's farm, where the unicorns roam free and the crystals crops grow strong on a steady sprinkling of love, acceptance and freedom, although that might just confuse things even more.
I can't say that this video has done anything to convince me that the "Zyngaga" team-up is any less weird than I expected it to be when I first heard about it, but it does have me wondering if maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. Catchy song, too!
