The Law Market
Erin A. O'Hara and Larry E. Ribstein
Presents a new theory of and perspective on law as something for which people and firms can shop
Synthesizes a broad range of legal topics, including corporate and securities law, arbitration, marriage and family law, property law, and consumer law
Provides a new perspective on the respective roles of federal and state jurisdictions, which has particular relevance to the US, European Union, and other federal systems
Today, a California resident can incorporate her shipping business in Delaware, register her ships in Panama, hire her employees from Hong Kong, place her earnings in an asset-protection trust formed in the Cayman Islands, and enter into a same-sex marriage in Massachusetts or Canada--all the while enjoying the California sunshine and potentially avoiding many facets of the state's laws.
In this book, Erin O'Hara and Larry E. Ribstein explore a new perspective on law, viewing it as a product for which people and firms can shop, regardless of geographic borders. The authors consider the structure and operation of the market this creates, the economic, legal, and political forces influencing it, and the arguments for and against a robust market for law. Through jurisdictional competition, law markets promise to improve our laws and, by establishing certainty, streamline the operation of the legal system. But the law market also limits governments' ability to enforce regulations and protect citizens from harmful activities. Given this tradeoff, O'Hara and Ribstein argue that simple contractual choice-of-law rules can help maximize the benefits of the law market while tempering its social costs. They extend their insights to a wide variety of legal problems, including corporate governance, securities, franchise, trust, property, marriage, living will, surrogacy, and general contract regulations.
The Law Market is a wide-ranging and novel analysis for all lawyers, policymakers, legislators, and businesses who need to understand the changing role of law in an increasingly mobile world.

Erin A. O'Hara is Professor of Law, and Director of the Law & Human Behavior Program at Vanderbilt University. She is the author of The Economics of Conflict of Laws.
Larry E. Ribstein is Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Chair in Law, and co-Director of the Program on Business Law & Policy at the University of Illinois. He is the co-author of Business Associations and The Economics of Federalism.
"The Law Market promises to add some much-needed clarity and common sense to a 'largely ignored field of law.'"--Harvard Law Review
"One of the most important metrics for evaluating the success of an academic work is the degree to which it sparks further questions...Evaluated along this dimension, The Law Market must be deemed a smashing success."--Engage: The Journal of the Federalist Society's Practice Groups
"O'Hara and Ribstein's book is a breakthrough in legal scholarship. Recognizing that the unprecedented mobility of today's society gives economic actors substantial choice over the law that will govern their affairs, the authors analyze law as a product that is produced by states and marketed to consumers. The authors thereby identify a fundamental feature of contemporary business law that has until now been overlooked or only imperfectly understood. The book is chock-full of original insights into the operation of this 'market for law', and offers a valuable analysis of the pros and cons of this development from the standpoint of public policy." --Geoffrey P. Miller, New York University Law School
"O'Hara and Ribstein are the first to expose how the ability of private persons to choose the law that shall govern them - in business and in their personal lives - is transforming our legal system. Drawing on public policy and economics in an approachable, commonsense way, they sketch the implications of the law market for our world today, and show how its emergence calls for a careful balance between individual freedom and regulation to advance the public good. This book is a must-read, not only for lawyers with real-world clients but also for every corporate general counsel and legislative staff member grappling with our globalized law market." --Richard A. Nagareda, Vanderbilt University Law School
"This is a pathbreaking book - theoretically sophisticated and carefully applied. O'Hara and Ribstein's concept of the 'law market' captures an essential truth about the conflicts revolution, and their thesis carries profound implications for wide swaths of the law, ranging from international investment disputes to same-sex marriage." --Peter B. Rutledge, University of Georgia Law School
"The Law Marker significantly enriches the discussion about jurisdictional competition and enhances our understanding of the underlying forces."--American Journal of Comparative Law

It was 10:30 PM Monday 13th February 2017 when I realized that I had not picked up a gift for my wife for Valentine's Day. Luckily I was at Placito so decided to grab something to save my hide.
In my search for a Valentine gift I stumble upon a red valentine balloon filled with helium hanging out close to the ceiling.
When I pulled it down it rose right back up. The chemistry involved made me smile. In appreciation of what the helium molecules were doing as well as what my sly mind was thinking.
Early this morning I surprised my wife with her gift. She loved it and as predicted, proceeded to giving the cute balloon to my son who had a field day with it this morning and got so tired that he is asleep as I type this.
He has never played with a balloon before. I don't know what gives kids butterflies when they see or play with balloons but I was happy to share in his first balloon moment and used the opportunity to take pictures and videos.
Here is a comic strip I made just to capture the moment.
Coming to think of it I killed three birds with one stone.
If you want one just go to Placito Airport Shell branch. I am not sure how it does it's magic but it just works.
From BoBo and I Happy Valentine's Day.
Always keep it One HONDRED!
Will update you on how Ronning fared so far tomorrow. If you haven't listened to it yet you can do so here.

Big shout out to Laney and Brent. They helped us set up our GTM container and spent a couple of sessions showing us how to use it. They also were great about following up with us when we had questions after the fact. Very, very helpful!
We are a small agency and were having a problem with a Google Tag Manager implementation. (it's a little more complicated than it should be) We contacted adMind and they fixed it. It's a little embarrassing to admit I couldn't figure this out but they were able to find the issue almost immediately. It's always smart to bring in the pro's when needed.
Tried a lot of different things, but wasn't able to figure out why my multiple goals were showing the same number of completions. Jake immediately suggested another option that I hadn't thought of. Highly recommended if you ever need expert Analytics assistance.
Brent at adMind LLC. is both extremely skilled and kind. I was impressed with his ability to identify and explain the Google Analytics challenge that I was facing, and I was in awe of his ability to present effective solutions. Thank you! I am truly grateful.
I was struggling with analytics setup and interpretation. the solutions prior to Mike were time consuming and unworkable. Mike solved my problem. He was as sharp as his ad depicted him to be. He had a vast knowledge of what analytics could do for me, and how to make it easy to set up and interpret. Just as important, he explained how to do a work around for the tasks that analytics could not do. All in all, one of the best consultations I have ever had, and I am a high level consultant myself.
Shout out to Jake for being so kind and helpful. The set-up was quick and efficient. Thank you so much!
Excellent, quick, easy to work with.
Mike was spot on. Got the fix in a phone call. Super nice, easy to communicate with. Great advice.
I contacted Jake Corry at 2pm and my problem was fixed before 3. Talk about fast, smart problem-solving! I am very impressed with Jake's knowledge base, phone manner and willingness to dive in and correct my issue. I can't say enough about this level of service and will use again if needed and spread the word as well.
Mike was able to help me troubleshoot over the phone in just 20 minutes. Saved me a lot of time and stress. Thank you guys and I will definitely be using you again!
Mike is a beast at what he does!
We called Mike to hire him to fix our analytics because we couldn't figure out a couple things. Instead of charging us like most other companies would do, Mike told us that he would help us over the phone for free. It only took about 15 minutes and most other companies would just say it would take an hour or too and charge you. Mike took care of us and he really knew his stuff. He walked us through step by step and made sure we understood everything. Mike is awesome! Thanks!
Jake helped me with website scripts!
Mike at AdMind is a lifesaver!
I was banging my head against a wall for weeks, trying to figure out why my Tag Manager triggers weren't firing my conversion pixels as expected. I reached out to Mike, and he had it resolved in minutes. He also scheduled a follow-up for later in the week to make sure that everything was working as desired. If you're struggling at all with GTM, I definitely recommend giving AdMind a call. They're extremely friendly and eager to help with even your smallest frustrations. 5 stars!

Q: Color map using list and if/else in d3 I'm trying to extend the simple example given in Mike Bostock's Let's Make a Map to allow coloring countries in a map based on whether their name appears in a list.
How do I color Scotland and Wales green and the other countries blue if I've defined a list var selected_countries = ["SCT", "WLS"]?
The following code works for coloring just one country (Scotland) using a conditional if/else statement, but how do I extend this to change the class of all those countries listed in the variable selected_countries?  I've tried if(selected_countries.contains(d.id))... but this doesn't work, I'm guessing the scoping is what's tripping me up.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<style>
.subunit.selected { fill: green; }
.subunit.not-selected { fill: grey; }
</style>

<body>
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://d3js.org/topojson.v1.min.js"></script>
<script>
var width = 960,
    height = 1160;

var projection = d3.geo.albers()
    .center([0, 55.4])
    .rotate([4.4, 0])
    .parallels([50, 60])
    .scale(1200 * 5)
    .translate([width / 2, height / 2]);

var path = d3.geo.path()
    .projection(projection);

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height);

var selected_countries = ["SCT", "WLS"]

d3.json("uk.json", function(error, uk) {
  svg.selectAll(".subunit")
    .data(topojson.feature(uk, uk.objects.subunits).features)
    .enter().append("path")
    .attr("class", function(d) {
        if (d.id == "SCT") {return "subunit selected"}
        else {return "subunit not-selected"};
      })
    .attr("d", path);
});
</script>

A: There are two (at least) ways to do this:

*

*Have a variable named "blue" or whatever color you want other countries to have. Then use a for loop that goes through all the elements in the list. At each iteration of for loop, make a comparative statement to check if your d.id == <current element in list> or not. Something like:
var color = 'blue';         // or subunit not-selected
for (var i=0; i<lengthOf(selected_countries); i++)
{
    if (d.id == selected_countries[i])
        color = 'green';    // or subunit selected
}
return color;

*You can use the indexOf() method that returns '-1' when the parameter passed is not in the list.
((selected_countries.indexOf(d.id) == -1) ? return blue : return green);

1. Calculate whether you really need to buy or rent or have a combination of both.
2. If buying, get expert commercial property advice from a proper commercial property lawyer, who is aware of full commercial enquiries, local plans to ensure there are no hinderances to trading or running a business at particular premises or land.
3. If leasing, it is vital that you not only get expert advice from lawyers and surveyors but that you take photographs and have schedules of condition done in respect of the property you take on and look very carefully at repairing covenants.
4. Can you extend the terms of your occupation? Can you leave early? Can you buy the property? Do you have options to purchase? All of these can be discussed with commercial property experts.
5. Check the rent review provisions. Can they be limited in any way? Is there scope for third-party determination?
6. Whether buying or renting, can you sell on your property at full value? Are there any restrictions on title or restrictions for certain businesses?
The above are just some of the considerations when considering commercial property; however, it is vital that you obtain expert commercial property advice.

Jean Paulette (Sparks) French
Apex, North Carolina
Jean was the daughter of Edith and the late Edward Sparks, and the sister of Kathy Wyrick, Teresa Kelly, and Marsha Sparks. She was the mother of Abigail and Erin French, and the grandmother of Raelynn Davis. She was the aunt of Sarah Kelly, Jared Wyrick, Chad Wyrick, and Amy Wyrick Vest, and, of course, the dog mom of Ozzie. She was also so much more to all the lives she touched along the way.
Jean was born on January 6th, 1971, in Bluefield, West Virginia. She was raised in Lashmeet, WV, and later moved to Apex, NC. She attended Matoka High, Mercer Christian Academy, and obtained both a marketing and nursing degree at Bluefield State. She later completed further studies at North Carolina State University. Jean's passion and purpose was a caretaker to all. She started her nursing career in labor and delivery, and absolutely loved it. She appreciated the chance to connect with people and help them through such an important and difficult time, and, knowing Jean, she shared funny moments with many expecting mothers. In her last years, she was a caretaker for her mom, surely the best all-in-one daughter and nurse combo you could ask for.
From a very young age, Jean had a close relationship with God. She was never short of love to give and always knew what was most important in life: the way she made others feel in her presence. She made family members feel loved, strangers feel seen, and always preferred a good laugh, even at her own expense. She lived life one day at a time, and always looked forward to better days ahead. Her family will never forget her warm embrace and long goodbyes, and we are certain there are many others who have fond memories with her to cherish. We are happy for her next adventure in the afterlife and can't wait to see her again.
We love you Jeannie!

1. O believers! Take not for friends My and your enemies, you deliver the news to them in friendship, while they are deniers of the truth that has come to you, and drive out the Messenger and yourselves from homes because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you have come out in my path to struggle and to seek My pleasure, take them not for friends; you send them secret message of love, while I know well what you conceal and what you reveal. And whoever of you does so, has, undoubtedly, gone astray from the straight path.
2. If they get hold of you, they will be your enemies and will stretch forth their hands and their tongues towards you with evil, and they desire that you should anyhow become disbelievers.
3. Never will profit you, neither your kind-red nor your children on the Day of Judgement. He shall separate you from them. And Allah is seeing your doings.
4. Undoubtedly, there was a good example to follow for you in Ibrahim and his companions, when they said to their people, 'undoubtedly' we are quit of you and that you worship beside Allah, we deny you', and there has appeared enmity and hatred between us and you for ever; until you believe in one Allah, but the saying of Ibrahim to his father 'I will surely ask forgiveness for you, and I have no authority for your any favour against Allah. O our Lord! In You do we put our trust and to You do we turn, and to You is the final return.
5. O our Lord! Put not us in a trial of those who disbelieve, and forgive us our Lord, undoubtedly You are the Esteemed one, Wise.
6. Undoubtedly, there was a good example in them for you for him who has hope in Allah and the Last Day. And whosoever turns away, then undoubtedly Allah is self-sufficient, All-Praised.
7. It is near that Allah may create friendship between you and those of them who are your enemies. And Allah is All Powerful, and Forgiving, Merciful.
8. Allah forbids you not regarding those who have not fought against you in religion and expelled you not from your homes, that you may show favour to them and act justly towards them. Undoubtedly, the just are loved by Allah.
9. Allah only forbids you regarding those who have fought against you in religion or expelled you from your homes or have helped others in driving you out, that you should take them for friends, and whosoever takes them for friends, they are the oppressors.
10. O believers! When muslim women come to you from pagan territory leaving their homes, test them. Allah knows better as to their faith, then if you know them to be believing women, return them not to the infidels. Neither those women are lawful to them nor they are lawful to them. And give their unbeliever husbands what they have spent, and there is no blame on you if you marry them when you pay them their dowries. And have not firm hold to the matrimonial ties with the unbelieving women and ask back what you have spent and the infidels should ask for what they have spent. This is the order of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All Knowing, Wise.
11. And if some women go away from the custody of muslims to the disbelievers, then you punish the disbelievers, and give from the spoils to those whose women have gone away the like of that which they had spent. And fear Allah in Whom you believe.
12. O Prophet! When muslim women come to you for taking oath of allegiance at your hands, that they will not associate anything with Allah, and they will not commit theft, and will not commit adultery and nor kill their children, and nor will bring a calumny forging it between their hands and feet (regarding birth) and will not disobey you in anything good, then accept their allegiance and beg Allah to forgive them. Undoubtedly Allah is Forgiving. Merciful.
13. O believers! Take not as friends those upon whom is Allah's wrath. They are indeed despaired of the Hereafter as the infidels are despaired of the inmate of the graves.

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable people on Nevada roads. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, a pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every eight minutes. A pedestrian is killed every two hours. Even as fatalities from car accidents have declined in recent years, pedestrian fatalities have shown increases.
Recently, a woman was struck by a car and killed while walking across a street in Fernley, about a half-hour's drive from Reno. Police said the 63-year-old woman was in or near a marked crosswalk at about 8:30 p.m. when a Cadillac sedan struck her.
Police said the 49-year-old driver of the Cadillac was cooperating with authorities in the investigation. The driver's two children were in the car at the time of the accident, police said. Alcohol was not considered to be a factor in the accident, police said.
Under Nevada law, when someone is killed due to another driver's negligence, the victim's family members may be compensated for their monetary damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. To show that the driver was negligent, the plaintiffs would have to show that the driver failed to exercise a reasonable level of care, and that the injury occurred because of that lack of care.
The fact that a car hit a pedestrian does not necessarily mean that the driver was negligent. Pedestrians also have a duty to act reasonably, and a pedestrian who darts across a busy street on a dark night may be deemed to have acted unreasonably. If that is the case, a court may find that there was nothing that a reasonable driver could have done to avoid the crash. However, if a pedestrian was struck while using a crosswalk at an appropriate time, this is strong evidence to show that the driver caused the accident through negligence.
A Nevada attorney can help the injured or their families to understand their rights and legal options after a terrible accident. An award in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit cannot turn back time, but it can help the injured and their families to cope with the aftermath of an accident.

Audible è un'azienda multinazionale produttrice e venditrice di programmi di intrattenimento, informazione e formazione audio distribuiti in Internet. Audible vende audiolibri, programmi radio, televisivi e riviste e quotidiani in formato audio digitale. Grazie al proprio ramo produttivo, gli Audible Studios, Audible è diventato il più grande produttore al mondo di audiolibri scaricabili. Il contenuto Audible è accessibile solamente tramite un software proprietario privato, che protegge l'utilizzo non consentito del contenuto da parte di utenti non autorizzati grazie ad un sistema di password e username Audible.

Il 31 gennaio 2008, Amazon.com annuncia di voler comprare Audible per circa 300 milioni di dollari. L'affare viene concluso nel marzo 2008 e Audible diventa così una società sussidiaria di Amazon. L'azienda ha base a Newark in New Jersey's 1 Washington Park.

Storia

Audible viene fondata nel 1995 dallo scrittore e giornalista Donald "Don" Katz.

Gennaio 1998: Audible introduce il primo lettore audio digitale di volume di produzione quasi quattro anni prima l'arrivo dell'iPod. Gli unici file supportati erano file audio digitali a bitrate bassi .aa che potevano essere scaricati solo da Audible.com. Il primo lettore aveva circa 4MB di memoria, che consiste i circa due ore di file audio in formato .aa. Audible mantiene tuttora diversi brevetti in questo campo.

24 ottobre 1999: Audible soffre una battuta d'arresto dovuta alla morte dell'amministratore delegato in carica, Andrew J. Huffman, dovuta ad un apparente attacco cardiaco. Nonostante questo, il continuo sviluppo ha comunque portato ad Audible la licenza del codec ACELP per i download di qualità di livello 3 nel 2000.

Nel 2003, Audible stringe un accordo esclusivo con Apple per fornire il loro catalogo su iTunes Music Store con audiolibri. Gli audiolibri acquistati su iTunes hanno un'estensione .m4b (una variazione al file MP4) e contengono un AAC audio protetto dal Fair Play Digital Rights Management di Apple.

Il successo di Audible inizia a far aumentare l'interesse verso il fondatore di Audible, Don Katz. Questi viene così evidenziato dalla rivista AudioFile nel 2003. Successivamente, l'incremento di notorietà lo porta a preparare diverse interviste registrate su IT Conversations nel maggio del 2005 e a presentare l´azienda al Podcast Expo nel novembre del 2005.

Nel 2005 Audible lancia Audible Air, un software che rende possibile scaricare audiolibri senza cavo e direttamente su dispositivi come smartphone o palmari. Ciò ha eliminato la necessità di dover scaricare il file audio prima su un computer fisso e poi doverlo trasferire sui dispositivi Palm OS, Windows Mobile o Symbian Mobile. Il contenuto, inoltre, può così venire aggiornato in automatico, scaricando i capitoli necessari e cancellando quelli già letti. L'interesse verso Audible e Don Katz continua così a crescere e nel marzo del 2006 entrambi vengono pubblicati su "Business 2.0".

Nell'aprile del 2008, Audible comincia a produrre audiolibri esclusivi di genere fantasy e fantascienza sotto la categoria "Audible Frontiers". Al lancio vengono rilasciati 25 titoli. Nel 2008 Amazon compra la società per 300 milioni di dollari. Don Katz continua a mantenere il ruolo di amministratore delegato dell'azienda.

Audible continua a pubblicare nel maggio del 2011 quando lancia l'Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX), un mercato online per diritti e piattaforma di produzione che connette narratori, produttori e titolari di diritti allo scopo di creare nuovi audiolibri. La piattaforma ha così tanto successo che nel 2012 Audible ha riportato di ricevere più titoli da ACX che dai suoi tre principali fornitori. Nel marzo del 2012, Audible lancia la A-List Collection, una serie in cui prendono parte star di Hollywood fra cui Claire Danes, Colin Firth, Anne Hathaway, Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Keaton, Nicole Kidman e Kate Winslet che recitano importanti opere letterarie. La performance di Colin Firth che narra "Fine di una storia" di Graham Greene viene nominato "Audiolibro dell'Anno" agli Audie Awards del 2013. La missione di Audible di rendere la narrazione dell'audiolibro una forma d'arte convenzionale si estende all'offrire corsi di narrazione nelle scuole di recitazione, fra cui figurano la Juilliard School e la Tisch Schools of the Arts della New York University. Nel 2013, l'amministratore delegato di Audible ha speculato che l'azienda fosse il singolo maggiore datore di lavoro per attori nell'area di New York. Nel 2014, nei sei studi di registrazione della sede principale di Audible, produttori e voci narranti creano nuovi audiolibri per 16 ore al giorno, sette giorni a settimana.

Le innovazioni tecnologiche tornano al centro dei piani dell'azienda nel settembre del 2012 quando Audible e Amazon lanciano Whispersync for Voice, un'innovazione che permette agli utenti di spostarsi senza interruzioni dalla lettura di un e-book Kindle all'ascolto del rispettivo audiolibro riprendendo allo stesso punto. Assieme a Whispersync for Voice, Audible introduce anche Immersion Reading, una funzionalità che sottolinea il testo dell'e-book su Kindle mentre si ascolta il rispettivo audiolibro. Nel 2015 questo argomento è stato anche al centro dell'integrazione con Amazon Echo, un dispositivo Amazon con funzionalità che includono question answering, riproduzione musicale e controllo di dispositivi smart.

Audible in Italia
Nel maggio del 2016 Audible viene lanciato in Italia con un sistema di pagamento diverso rispetto al modello presente negli altri paesi. Viene proposta un'offerta "all-you-can-listen" simile a quella di Spotify o Netflix: un abbonamento al costo mensile di 9,99€ con accesso illimitato ai contenuti del mercato italiano. Claudio Bisio partecipa come testimonial al lancio in Italia e legge per l'occasione "La Piuma", la favola morale postuma di Giorgio Faletti.

Audible, oltre a distribuire audiolibri e contenuti audio già esistenti nel mercato italiano, inizia a produrre contenuti originali, seguendo l'esempio americano. Fra i diversi titoli prodotti compare la serie di Harry Potter, letta da Francesco Pannofino. Il primo titolo viene lanciato il 21 settembre 2017.

eFlows4HPC architecture: Helping developers implement combined applications
Author: Jorge Ejarque (BSC)
High-Performance Computing (HPC) has been used to provide computational resources, software environments and programming models to enable the execution of large-scale e-science applications, i.e, with the objective of generating predictions of real processes (weather forecasting or protein interaction modelling). Recently, with the introduction of Big Data and Machine Learning (ML) technologies, e-science applications have evolved to more complex workflows where traditional HPC simulations are combined with Data Analytics (DA) and ML algorithms.
However, implementing combined applications requires a lot of engineering efforts in terms of deployment and integration of the HPC, DA and ML parts of the application. First, each part uses its own frameworks and libraries. For instance, developers use parallel programming models for implementing HPC simulators, DA algorithms are mainly implemented using DA transformations and actions that are developed with specific frameworks, while ML models are created or applied also using dedicated frameworks.
Therefore, to integrate them in a single application, developers have to dedicate a considerable amount of effort on implementing glue code to coordinate the execution and to exchange data between the application components. At deployment and operation phase, the work is replicated because all HPC, Big Data and ML environments must be installed, configured and run at the same time. It can be a hard task if this process has to be replicated manually in several supercomputers with their specific architectures and restrictions.
The eFlows4HPC project proposes a software stack and methodology to improve this situation. It aims at simplifying the development, deployment and execution of these complex workflows on federated computing infrastructures. The eFlows4HPC software stack will be composed by the integration of existing software components, organised in different layers as shown in the Figure above. The first layer consists of a set of services, repositories, catalogues, and registries to facilitate the accessibility and re-usability of the implemented workflows (Workflow Registry), their core software components such as HPC libraries and DA/ML frameworks(Software Catalog), and its data sources and results such as ML models (Data Registry and Model repository).
The second layer provides the syntax and programming models to implement these complex workflows combining typical HPC simulations with HPDA and ML. A workflow implementation consists on three main parts: a description of how the software components are deployed in the infrastructure (provided by an extended TOSCA definition); the functional programming of the parallel workflow (provided by the PyCOMPSs Programming Model); and data logistic pipelines to describe data movement in order to ensure that the workflow data is available in the computing infrastructure, when required.
Finally, the lowest layers provide the functionalities to deploy and execute the workflow based on the provided workflow description. From one side, this layer provides the components to orchestrate the deployment, and coordinate the execution of the workflow components in federated computing infrastructures. On the data management side, it provides a set of components to manage and simplify the integration of large volumes of data from different sources and locations with the workflow execution.

ISU-Con 2012 – Another Tabletop Journey
Categories: Card Games/CCG/TCG, Cons, Events, Minis/Figures, Tabletop RPG, Tabletop/Board Games | 2 comments
Each year a huge tabletop gaming event takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana called Gen Con. The event covers 4 days worth of gaming and thousands of players flock to the convention every year. What a lot of people don't know is that Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana holds their own tabletop convention that takes place about a month after Gen Con. The event is called ISU-Con and it's even sponsored by the big prior event. It was held this past weekend and I got to head up and see what all the fuss was about.
ISU-Con is held at the University in one of their larger gyms. There was plenty of gaming going on and the local cosplay/anime club was handing out pizza and drinks free of charge for attendees. One of the major cogs of this convention machine is the Mind's Eye Society, a large live-action non for profit guild that's spread all over the United States. Mind's Eye worked together with students, volunteers, and tabletop enthusiasts to make ISU-Con a reality. The event focuses on tabletop gathering where new players can sign up to learn brand new games as well as make new friends and find more players for the games they've already established.
There's no admission fee and not really any rules to follow. You can simply show up, sign in, and get to gaming. Near the admissions table there are other tables lined with signup sheets for games. Staff who have volunteered to run games each have a sheet for the game they are running. All that's required on your part is to simply sign your name to one of the open blanks and you'll be good to go. During the entirety of the event a charity raffle was being run, and there were some gaming memorabilia that were being auctioned off. Everyone got a raffle ticket for attending, and for each game you signed up to play you received another one. This was the con's way of raffling off some pretty cool items. There were so many games to choose from and after some perusing I found one I definitely wanted to try – the Marvel Heroic RPG. Once I signed up for the game the room was open to whatever I wanted to do.
After playing a couple of different games I turned my attention to the LARP in the furthest-back corner of the room. There was a Geist game running, which is a LARPG centered on one person dying and being brought back as a supernatural being. After that a Vampire: Requiem game started, and it was the game many of the attendees were there for. Now I'm not in to that specific game, but it didn't stop me from admiring the players. Plenty of them arrived dressed in costume and they maintained their character very well. The game went on without a hitch, and during that time I witnessed one of the coolest things I've yet seen at a convention.
Like I mentioned above, the Mind's Eye Society and a lot of the organizations at ISU are very involved with charity. They raise a lot of money and donate it to specific charities each year, and the spirit of their giving came out at the con. For Vampire: Requiem Mind's Eye Society put together an auction of sorts. On the tables in front of the game were papers. These papers stood for in-game items that players could bid real money on. At a certain point during the evening these items would be auctioned off and given to the player with the highest bid. All of the money collected for these items goes straight to charity. It's really a win-win situation: players get awesome in-game items, and charities get help with funding. Meanwhile everyone at the event is gaming and having a great time.
The gym was fairly large, though that left a lot of unused space. The place was pretty hot too, which became an annoyance the more I stayed. It didn't stop me or anyone else from playing, but it is something for staff to think about in the future. Since the room was open and the games were set on a schedule, if you didn't have a demo at the current moment you could mingle, and I did just that.
I walked around, checking out other games, and I saw a lot of people interested in a variety of games. There was Cards Against Humanity, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer 40k, Axis and Allies, and much more being played all around me. It was my own little slice of heaven.
While at the con I got to try out the Marvel Heroic RPG and I fell in love. I went home and purchased it the next day which filled me with all kinds of excitement. The event uses the perfect gateway to get players to purchase games: by demoing them. Every GM was very nice and friendly, and I had a really fun time checking out all of the games.
A local game store, Full Moon Games, stopped in and set up a small booth where players could make purchases. They brought everything from Magic: The Gathering booster packs to dice and game mats. They even brought with them some board games available for purchase, and their pricing wasn't bad. This allowed players the ability to spend some money while at the con to grab new games and whatnot, which is the big selling point for a lot of conventions.
ISU-Con wasn't something huge – though the staff would like it to be one day soon. It was a great event where tabletop gamers could come to congregate and learn new games. For a free event where the refreshments were provided I certainly got my time's worth out of it. I learned a new game, hung out with cool people, and laughed more than I could have ever thought possible. I think ISU-Con is an event that's less-traveled to, and I hope that changes. I certainly had a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to next year's con. If you're in the area and are looking for an event that can help satiate your need for con fever after Gen Con, this is the place to be. Great job to the staff, GMs, and players for making such a fun and involved convention!

Nails are a general indicator of health. Vitamins for nails or their lack affects a condition of nails. Nails are a general indicator of health. Fortunately, dry or brittle nails quickly recover and grow, if you correctly identify the problem.
Biotin or vitamin B7 is a water-soluble vitamin B. The recommended dose of biotin for adults is 50 mcg per day. The lack of biotin leads to brittleness and delamination of the nail plate. An increase in biotin consumption leads to a 25% thickening of the nail plate!
Such a study was conducted in Switzerland. Natural biotin is found in liver, egg yolks, yeast, cauliflower, milk, peanuts, soy, and tomatoes. In a small amount of biotin is found in all products.
The primary building material for nails is keratin. Keratin is the protein that creates nails, teeth, hair, and skin. Without a sufficient amount of keratin, the nails will be weakened and begin to exfoliate. Consumption is approximately 240 grams. Protein per day. The best sources of high-quality protein are fish, poultry, red meat, eggs, legumes, nuts, dairy products, for example, natural yoghurt.
Calcium is essential not only to preserve bones. Without enough calcium, the nails will be fragile. Uneven nails often indicate a lack of calcium. Calcium intake: 1,200 mg per day. The best natural sources of calcium are fermented milk products, cabbage, mustard, greens, turnips.
To turn weak exfoliated nails into strong marigolds with a shiny pink surface, you need omega-z fatty acids. The best source of omega-3 is fatty sea fish, walnuts, broccoli, olive oil, pumpkin seeds. From plant sources the best source of omega-3 fatty acids is flaxseed. To provide omega-3 in the body, it is good to take fish oil capsules.
Lack of vitamin B12 leads to fragility and loss of colour. Nails look discoloured. This vitamin is essential for maintaining healthy nails. Vitamin is found in meat, eggs, dairy products. Plant sources do not contain vitamin B. 12. Vitamin complexes should be taken to replenish vitamin B12.
If white spots appear on your nails, this indicates a lack of zinc. Many women are deficient in zinc. Zinc is found in sufficient quantities in meat, dairy products, eggs, fish. A good source of zinc is pumpkin seeds.
Fragile, slow-growing nails indicate a lack of silicon. The mineral is necessary for the growth and health of nails, hair, bones. Many plants contain silicon.
For example nettle and horsetail, One of the common causes of the separation and dryness of the nails are adverse environmental factors.
During those winter months, it is essential to keep your hands in warm gloves or mittens to limit the effects of severe winds and frost. Dry air in heated rooms is also harmful to nails.
It is important to keep the nails moist. Follow the simple tips, and your nails will always be strong and healthy.
Constant moisturizing and nutrition of nails is the secret of success.
If you decide to strengthen the nails, then first cut them! The top nail should be flush by the tip of the finger. Handle the edge with a nail file. Glass nail file is ideal for strengthening nails — the benefits of glass nail files.
Apply vitamin E and jojoba oil twice a day to the surface of the nail. Oils can be applied both in pure form and in creams and lotions for nails.
Take vitamin complexes. The composition should include biotin, and a compound of vitamins of group B. Avoid direct contact with chemicals. Water and detergents are the main culprits of dry and damaged nails. When cleaning it is better to use rubber gloves.
To moisturize your hands and nails, it is good to wear moisturizing gel gloves 3-4 times a week. Review your diet. Make changes in the form of additional sources of high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Exfoliation of the nails is one of the signs of stress and fatigue.
Exercise helps relieve tension in the body and increase the production of your endorphins. Pay attention to the Tibetan gymnastics Eye of the Renaissance. These simple exercises have helped many people to relieve stress and improve the body's energy level.


Custom interior paint throughout; - Bonus Office Den with two computer stations is available for checking emails and web surfing.
Master suite is furnished with king-size bed, large bath with double vanities, large shower, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers queen size bed, large built-in closet, TV and beautiful polynesian artwork. Third bedrooms have king-size bed and large closet. These two bedrooms share the second bathroom with walk-in glass shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped for casual dining or island entertaining. Furnished in a Polynesian motif, the living/dining room area is a great place to entertain, relax and plan for tomorrow's activities.
The sunsets are spectacular in Kona and the starlit skis are awesome. Come and make our home in Paradise, your home away from home.
We had a perfect stay at this lovely home. It is a good location and has everything you need. It's very clean and new like. No complaints!
My husband and I and another couple (dear friends of ours) stayed in this home for 12 fabulous days! This home is beautiful and relaxing! We absolutely enjoyed every aspect of it! The salt water pool was a huge highlight and there were tons of pool toys in the garage. We practically lived on the outdoor patio and the furniture was comfy and accommodating! There is an outdoor grill and a "fire-pit" for lovely evenings enjoying the sunset view over the water. The house is well stocked and we wanted for very little (a garlic press and a fruit juicer ... so obviously not "live or die" items! The master bedroom suite is lovely and spacious (there were even little tea light candles for around the soaking tub!!) I would highly recommend for people with children as there were baby/kids items in the garage that would make traveling a lot easier with little ones. We loved our stay there .. super close to town.. and easy walk or a quick drive. We explored the island but had a hard time tearing ourselves away from the house!! Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back!!
Our family stayed in this home for nearly 3 months this summer. The house is in great condition, very clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The yard is kept in amazing condition. The salt water pool was wonderful and we enjoyed the use of the outdoor bbq. The location of the home is very convenient. A 20 min walk or a 5 min drive and you are in town. We felt the gated community added an additional safety element that we appreciated. Above all, the owner of the property and the property manager made our stay perfect. Any need we had, they addressed it quickly, professionally and courteously. We'll be back to stay here again.

Three couples - stayed for a week here in paradise. We loved so much about the house and the island. The management was excellent and responsive. (Example, we forgot our cribbage board, and one was delivered later that day. :-) above and beyond) #1 Location: perfect for treks North and South. South: Green Sand Beach (let the locals take you down if you do not have 4x4 vehicle), Volcano, Coffee Plantation sites, North: Beaches are fabulous including access points in big resorts, Hapuna Beach, Hawi and sites. North-East: Waimea, Waipi'o Valley (7 of 7), Akaka Falls, Hilo. # 2 Accommodation: Lovely decor - not fussy, fully stocked kitchen, top notch appliances, AC, beds, linens and pillows excellent, and a separate nook with computers for searching the web - including a printer! Comfy couches, great TV (unwind and watch a DVD at the end of long day). Great bathrooms, lots of space for toiletries and good showers. 2.5 baths make it easy for 6 people to share. # 3 Garden: Pool is lovely, warm, lighted, non-chlorine, steps and shallower on both ends for great games of catch or volley. Nice tables, chairs and shady umbrellas. The whole garden area is meticulous and beautiful. Nice for strolling and looking at birds, flowers. # 4 Equipment: Great boogie boards, highest quality beach chairs and umbrellas, coolers.

The Oceanview House in Kona was perfect for our party of 6. The home was beautifully decorated and well located to everything we wanted to do. We appreciated having boogie boards, chairs and even ice chests that we could take with us to the beach. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the back patio. I would recommend this place to anyone! Recommended for: Sightseeing, Girls Getaway, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway, Families with Teenagers.
We had a wonderful visit to Hawaii and especially enjoyed your home. We enjoyed the proximity of your house to a lot of things we wanted to see and to do in Kona. We really enjoyed walking in the morning to the ocean shore through the park and relaxing on the lanai in the afternoon. We went to market every day and strolled through the Kona shops several times. What a wonderful home! It more than exceeded our expectations. We loved you decor! The beds were comfortable, the full kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking, and there was always a view. I think the lanai may be the most relaxing location on the Big Island. It's a home base perfectly suited for exploring the whole island.

This vacation home has everything and more. The owners and management company are top notch. They have paid attention to detail in providing renters with a luxury home. The house has boogie boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas for beach goers. The garage is even carpeted and is more like a living space than a garage. This is how much attention to detail there is in this house. What really topped it off was the customer service. We had a light bulb out in the bathroom and the management company had it replaced withing the hour. Also we ran out of propane from BBQ and they changed the BBQ tank withing 30 minutes, that is what I call attention to detail and customer service.In addition to wireless internet there are two computers with monitors so families with children need not fight over internet access. We were leaving the day of the San Francisco plane crash and our flight was cancelled and our flight out was 9hours later and the owners asked us if we wanted to go back to the house and rest no charge during that time even after we checked out.

Top notch home and great customer service.
The pictures don't do the home justice. The homeowners have provided everything that you could think of in this home. Everything you would need for cooking, luxury showers, and all the beach towels and beach equipment that you can carry. All the beach equipment is in the garage and I asked my son to get the items in the garage and he refused because he thought it would be dirty and full of insects. When he followed me in we were both shocked to see how nicely it was finished. Customer service is the most important when renting homes in my opinion. We had 2 lights out when we were there and the management company had it replaced within an hour. I also used all the propane and they replaced the propane tank within 15 minutes, I kid you not. Communication with the owner and management company has also been fantastic. I have already recommended this house to some friends so if you are looking for a house in Kona I would not hesitate one second in renting this house. I forgot to mention that location is in a quiet neighbourhood 10 minutes at most from grocery shopping and 5 minutes from center of Kona village town. Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Sightseeing, Girls Getaway, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway, Families with Teenagers.
Our group of 4 adults and 2 children spent a wonderful 5 days at this home. The accommodations were by far the best of any vacation we've rented. The kitchen was fully equipped with quality equipment, furniture and decor very pleasant, and the beds comfortable. And the house was absolutely clean and in perfect working condition when we arrived, something we haven't always experienced at other locations. The yard was large, quiet and had a great view, though it was a short drive to Alii Drive and all the main attractions in Kona. The only issue we noted was that there were no gates to keep kids in the back yard from wandering into the street, nor is there a deadbolt to keep kids inside from wandering out the front door. Service was excellent. Questions were answered promptly, the manager arranged for the crib to be set up before our arrival, and the damage deposit was returned before our plane landed back on the mainland. We highly recommend this manager and property.Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Sightseeing, Adventure Seekers, Age 55+, Romantic Getaway, Families with Teenagers.

SHANAN WORRALL
A true Australian waterman.
Born in 1978 in Esperance Western Australia, to a family of keen surfers.
At just 6 years of age, Shan started surfing, spearfishing and fishing. By 17, he started work as an Abalone diver/deck hand. And after 20+ years, he's had more wild shark encounters than 99% of the population.
Shanan continues to commercially dive for shells, and loves his diving, free diving and big wave surfing.
Shanan loved his work as an Abalone diver, but it sadly came to an end in 2013 after a cascade of events that "spooked him"- all of these events were to do with sharks in Western Australia and left him suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and anxiety related to the ocean, so much so that he struggled to get back in the water for a year and it resulted in him changing his career.
Whilst abalone diving 180km east of Esperance in October 2013, a fellow abalone diver- Greg Pickering (Shark Eyes Ambassador) was attacked by a White Shark and left critically injured. Shanan, along with two other colleges administered life saving first aid to him 4 hours from town in a remote location, and rushed him to hospital; luckily he survived and still dives to this day.
That same year Shanan lost a loved one in a fatal attack in Gracetown. He also personally encountered a few unwanted, and unpleasant interactions with large sharks whilst spearfishing and surfing. Luckily he saw the sharks and was able to defend himself.
As well as the events of the year 2013 Shanan has other mates who have lost limbs in Shark attacks over the years. Shanan agrees for many, a shark attack is not a high possibility but for him and many other frequent water users, the threat of Shark attack is a very real thing.
The Humble Beginnings of Shark Eyes
Shark Eyes begun a few years back, when the founder Shanan Worrall and his dive buddy Joe Knight were trying to keep themselves safe in the water, as they went about their days work shell diving.
The thought was, "we are utilising all these deterrents but we are still at risk, what else can we do to protect ourselves and our space from an inquisitive shark?"
They knew the naked eye worked at changing a sharks behaviour, (line of sight) they had both stared down sharks before and watched them retreat. But what if the shark saw them before they saw the shark? What if the shark came from behind or the bottom, as they most likely would in an attack?
The theory of mimicry came to mind, they had seen fish use mimicry (large false eyes on their backs) to protect themselves from predators, as well as other various land animals.
And so, Shark Eyes was born in the garage that day as they decided to mimic what nature was doing and painted large silicone eyes on to the back of their wetsuits and water crafts.
They both still use Shark Eyes personally, along with other personal deterrents to this day.
What led to commercialisation of Shark Eyes was Shanan's realisation that this non-invasive, accessible and inexpensive visual shark deterrent could very well save not only his life and the lives of his colleagues and mates, but minimise the risk of attack for so many water users without harming sharks - it is for everyone who enjoys the ocean regardless of ones political views.
Since that day, there has been an increase in shark sightings, encounters, attacks and fatalities across Australia.
Shark Eyes Credibility – Ambassadors & anecdotal evidence
Do not be fooled – NO SHARK DETERRENT on the market is currently 100% fail safe, and neither is Shark Eyes.
Shark Eyes aims to work at the very initial stage of predation, before you may even be aware that the shark is present.
In bad visibility sharks can visually detect their prey 10-15 metres away. This makes Shark Eyes difficult to test in a true and non-baited environment.
Shark Eyes has not been scientifically tested. We must rely on nature's anecdotal evidence, science, and ambassadors – which proves line of sight trickery is effective.
Despite this fact, Shark Eyes is supported by 13 expert ambassadors who live and breathe the ocean. These experts are not all scientists and conducting research though some are, but what they have in common is they are all spending regular time through their work and play in and about the ocean - they all know how sharks behave in wild interactions as they are witnessing/observing sharks on a regular basis. These "grass root" professionals are willing to endorse Shark Eyes, as they have seen and experienced it to work in nature (mimicry) and with the human eye.
(Anecdotal evidence.)
Shark Eyes – Practical Education
Shark Eyes values practical education as being of vital importance in preventing unwanted shark encounters.
It is our belief that all testing must be performed in a wild environment, not a baited or invasive forced environment - as it alters the sharks behaviour, therefore resulting in questionable or invalid findings.
With limited accurate research available about sharks, we believes that first and foremost, a practical and informed approach to the ocean and sharks is the first step to minimising the risk of attack.
Shark eyes brings this education to the public in the form of a "Shark Safety Guide". This knowledge is shared directly from professional watermen and women to you the general public, and if put into practice, alongside with the Shark Eyes deterrent, your risk of attack will be greatly minimised.
By purchasing Shark Eyes, you are investing in our cause; of non-invasive research and helping us continue our work with personal shark protection and research.


Come out and cheer on your favorite girl!

Using Indoor Smart Lights as Internet Connections
by Gordon Lane
January 8th, 2016 9,529 Total Views
In addition to its long-standing conventional role of providing illumination to indoor environments, electric lights could also soon serve as a means for providing high-speed Internet connections for computers and other hi-tech devices.
Scientists in the Estonian capital of Tallin are using LED smart lights to provide "Li-Fi" Internet connections to real world environments at much faster speeds and with greater security than conventional Wi-Fi networks.
The researchers are conducting the first real-world trials of of LiFi Internet by deploying the technology in some of Tallin's office and industrial facilities. The initial results have reportedly achieved data transmission speeds of as high as one gigabyte per second, a rate 100 times greater than the average Wi-Fi speed at present.
"We are doing a few pilot projects within different industries where we can utilise the VLC (visible light communication) technology," said Deepak Solanki, CEO of Velmenni to IB Times. "Currently we have designed a smart lighting solution for an industrial environment where the data communication is done through light.
"We are also doing a pilot project with a private client where we are setting up a Li-Fi network to access the internet in their office space."
Should its effectiveness prove sustainable in real world settings, Li-Fi technology has the potential to revolutionise Internet usage in both home and office environments by converting the electric lights that provide illumination into ultra-rapid wireless data transmission channels.
The technology was first developed in 2011 by University of Edinburgh scientist Harald Haas, who applied the principle of Visible Light Communication (VLC) to data transmission in tests employing a flickering LED bulb and light-sensitive receivers. VLC operates in a manner that is very similar to 19th century Morse code, using ultra rapid flashes of light to convey information in the form of binary data.
Haas's tests succeeded in using a single LED to transmit more data than a cellular tower, while the currently laboratory record is as high as 224 gigabits per second.
While some might fret that the incessant flickering of the LED bulbs used by Li-Fi for data transmission might be a maddening distraction, the process occurs so quickly that it's imperceptible.
In addition to extremely rapid speeds, other critical advantages of Li-Fi technology include enhanced security and reduced interference between Internet devices, given that visible light cannot pass through walls or other opaque barriers.
The technology also lends itself to quick and economical retrofitting, given that the only thing needed to convert a commonplace LED light bulb into a Li-Fi transmission device is install a small microchip.
Li-Fi also has potential environmental benefits by enabling a single electrical device to provide both illumination and wireless Internet connections.

Great idea! However, half the world (including me) likes to work and browse the internet in a dark room. Sounds like I would lost internet access if I turn the lights off yeah?

Paving the way for the brave new world of the brand experience
by Ross Hopcraft
Managing Director, Studio
It's difficult at times to not look back to the last 18 months and focus on what has been lost. From a creative and business perspective, something close to my heart felt like it vanished overnight.
Trucks and crews were recalled, shows cancelled and projects shelved.
The tradition of brand experiences, trade shows and events in the tried and tested physical sense disappeared in an instant and it left brands and audiences alike looking around wondering what's next; because despite the change for us all, consumers were still looking for the same level of brand engagement, more so in fact with so many options unavailable to us all.
We have always valued physical moments because traditionally it's an opportunity for people to come together and share experiences; it's a human need. Brands can take advantage of this and rightly so. Creating memorable moments, at a scale not previously seen at home, with a value on the exclusivity of being part of a limited number. The 'I was there' counted for a lot. But, our needs and interactions with brands have changed during the pandemic, and as such brands have an opportunity to interact with consumers in their own homes, creating an entirely new experience. And, in some ways a more intimate one.
Technology has been a saviour to us all. We've adjusted to remote communication in record time and made it work. But how do you scale that up and aim to capture some of the magic of the physical in a new remote world?
After the initial pause, we found 2020 was very much about adapting our thinking and learning about new technology. Our clients were asking us questions about what is possible, what can we do differently, but still with a sense of 'but will it work?'; because the confidence in new technology needed time.
Well, virtual technology has proven to be incredibly robust and is adapting at an exponential rate; so understandably confidence is growing and expectation follows. Brands are now looking to commit to creating new virtual experiences to continue to build audience engagement. It's an exciting time to be experimenting with audience engagement.
If you think about it, physical experiences come with some pretty big limitations. It's in one place in the world, it has a fixed size, with a duration period. If it's outside, it could rain or even be cancelled. People might not show up…. I could go on, but you get the gist.
The virtual space doesn't have any of these parameters to worry about. We should forget about virtual being a make-do alternative to the traditional and focus on the creative freedom it provides us with. Forget creating a virtual trade show to promote your latest product. Take your audience to the production line, the design studio, the test track; there are no boundaries.
The opportunity to create literally whatever you like and transport your audience there has already arrived. But virtual spaces need to be explorable, the sense of discovery must remain with the user. It's not enough to watch someone on screen in a linear fashion. Save that for the office meeting.
Music festivals have embraced the virtual worlds normally associated with gaming environments quicker and better than most, and brands are now showing an appetite to follow by building their very own worlds.
In 2020, The Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium faced the prospect of cancellation, but unlike most was able to pivot at speed and create a virtual world to host their dance music festival. Located on the island of Pāpiliōnem, audiences were transported to a world unlike anything seen before, revolutionising the music festival instantly.
A festival normally able to host 400,000 people (an amazing number in itself) suddenly hosted 1 million people from all over the world. People who could only have dreamed of attending Tomorrowland suddenly had the same access as everyone else.
As recently as May 2021, Luxury fashion brand Gucci marked its 100th anniversary by entering the metaverse with the creation of a virtual Gucci Garden on Roblox. Visitors enter the world as a neutral mannequin avatar and through exploration and discovery retain fragments of the visual experience to create something unique to them. Luxury fashion and the world of gaming collide.
Even global Fine Arts brokers Sotheby's have created this year's hottest new art hub. Located in Decentraland, a virtual reality metaverse, its replica of the London headquarters showcases its digital art over a five-floor gallery.
The accelerated acceptance of the power of technology in our lives has opened up a brave new world for brands to no longer look at virtual as the 'stop gap' before the return to perceived normality.
'Virtual first' is what clients are now asking for and I believe will soon become the industry norm.
The future success of experiences will be dependent on how well the physical and digital work together and harness the benefits of both.
It's time to create the perfect place to tell stories; I'm excited to be part of that future.
Specialist Expertise: The Studio

As is the case with many other universities (see, for example, Clemson's Class of '41 Studio), Florida State University's Writing Centers have responded to the multimodal turn by creating a composing space, The Digital Studio, that supports the use of digital media in both research and in composing. Matt Davis, Kevin Brock, and Stephen McElroy discuss the formation of Florida State's Digital Studio and the Studio's tutors' approach to assisting students: one that is both rhetorical and technical.
Opened in 2008, [The Digital Studio] is an extension of the university's Reading-Writing Center and employs graduate teaching assistants from the university's English department. These graduate tutors interact with and assist hundreds of multimodal composers each semester. These interactions often take on the form of the one-on-one tutoring sessions that are most like the basic unit of writing center work, but visitors to the Digital Studio can also use one of the workstations on their own or in groups and with or without dedicated tutor oversight. More often than not, though, students do take advantage of the tutors' varied expertise, posing questions not only about technical issues but also about rhetorical concerns—does what I have created so far really say what I think it says? Is this the best approach for my particular audience?
The kind of assistance — both technical and rhetorical — frames the example of tinkering I offer here. The video that follows depicts another service offered by the Digital Studio, the opportunity to hold classes in the Digital Studio where students can receive support that is both rhetorical and technical — but always primarily rhetorical.
In the Spring of 2014, Heather Lang (see her portfolio here: heatheralang.com) designed and taught a section of first year composition titled "Writing about Media Culture." Her course included three new media projects; one of which asked students to remediate an annotated bibliography into an infograph (assignment sheet available here: annotated_infograph.pdf). While leading class in the Digital Studio, Heather discussed the assignment with her students from both a rhetorical perspective and a technical perspective. Then, after introducing the assignment, she offered students the opportunity to compose — to tinker — while circulating around the classroom fielding questions from students about the assignment, about the technology, and about their approach to the assignment.
By providing students the opportunity to tinker, to consult each other, to eavesdrop, Heather's students were provided the opportunity to learn a set of rhetorical concepts (such as modal affordances) with the technology. By emphasizing rhetorical concepts above a "mastery" of the platform, Heather's students were able to focus on their idea and the goal for their project while composing by way of an "ad-hoc form of exploring" possibilities instead of following procedures (Sayers 284).

U.S. Urges China to Speed Reforms, Make Concessions for WTO Entry
Matt ForneyStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
BEIJING -- Senior U.S. trade negotiators urged China to make concessions in the next few months that would allow Beijing to join the World Trade Organization.
For years, the main obstacle to China's membership of the global trade organization has been U.S. demands that Beijing open up its markets, especially in the growing service sector. U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who arrived in Beijing Monday, told Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji that entry to the WTO will become even tougher later this year after the organization...

Amazing time with SIP Parties! This was our first time doing a paint night and it turned out to be absolutely amazing! Cliff lead us step by step on how to paint everything and made sure everyone was on the same page before morning on! If you needed extra help Ceaser, another instructor was there and was great at helping and lending a hand! They made everyone feel welcome and everyone had fun! Im going to be doing many more SIP Parties with you guys in the future! Thanks for making my moms birthday a great one.
We did our sunset paintings at Penrose with Abby! She is the BEST! So much fun and patient with us all. We will definitely do another paint night with her. So encouraging and helpful. GREAT venue too!! Thanks to all involved.
Cliff set up a really awesome Slightly Intox-O-Painted night at Pizzeria NEO in Saint Charles. Definite success! Everyone had a ton of fun and the paintings were fantastic! I heard some self-doubt going around about skill level and ability beforehand but I think Cliff did a great job- he was good at getting everyone engaged and he made sure the process wasn't intimidating. The results were very cool. I think everyone left very pleased and seemed to have a really good time. Wine, good food and painting with a pro- what's not to like?? Very unique. Looking forward to another.
I highly recommend going to one of Cliff's events. He is incredibly talented and is also super funny. He is so patient and a great instructor.
Cliff, Chris and Melanie make a really great team and they make the experience wonderful! I can't wait to go to another one. Check them out!
Best paint 'n sip I've attended. It went at just the right pace and I didn't feel rushed like I have at others. I really enjoyed it and Cliff was great! I'd definitely go again.
Cliff was so great! I had a private event I asked him to do for about 10 people and we all had a great time. He was very helpful with everyone who wanted individual attention. Everyone felt so at ease with him and I would definitely recommend him for your next party!
Ive been to many other companies for a paint night. I will not attend another paint party other than with SIP PARTIES. Cliff hosted a private event for my bachelorette party. He personally learned a two paintings himself to teach and walk through with our group. He was attentive, hilarious , and we all ended up with masterpieces. I don't know another company which would learn pieces of art I chose and spend the time so patiently and encouraging the whole way through!


Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far! After being in bed sick all last week, I'm so happy to be feeling better and back at work! This weekend I'm planning on finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping, and doing lots of baking! Puppy chow, chocolate covered pretzels and Christmas sugar cookies- the best sweet treats of the holidays if you ask me! And the weather here has been pretty amazing lately, for December--- making sweater dresses my go-to right now! This turtleneck, cable-knit sweater dress keeps you warm and cozy and looks perfect with over-the-knee boots! It's the best addition to your winter wardrobe because you can wear it on repeat all season long!
