Apple might rule when it comes to consumers, but business customers have a different set of requirements.
What does Apple need to do to persuade CIOs to adopt its hardware?
Demand for Apple products in business is often portrayed as being driven by staff rather than by the IT department -- the classic example being the chief executive who buys an iPhone and then insists that the techies make it work with business apps.
Certainly the success of the iPhone and the iPad in the consumer space has inevitably meant they will also be adopted by business users. There's often a further halo effect whereby some companies become more open to Macs as well.
On top of this, Apple has been trying to buff up its business credentials recently -- most notably by entering a partnership with IBM to develop enterprise iOS apps. But while Apple may rule at the top end of the consumer market, it's a different proposition in business: here, shiny gadgets must face up to the cold hard realities of enterprise IT.
When asked 'Does Apple have all the elements in place to become a key technology supplier for business?' the ZDNet/TechRepublic CIO Jury responded 'no' by a margin of ten to two, suggesting that Apple has more to do to win the hearts and minds of tech chiefs who still hold the purse strings.
High costs, a lack of integration with other business software and a limited set of management tools were all mentioned as factors in holding back adoption by the IT professionals who responded.
Richard Frisch, CTO at Global Strategy Group, said that Apple doesn't have the security model or the administrator 'friendliness' that Microsoft or Google has. He added: "Apple devices are fine, as long as we don't depend upon Apple software or cloud services. They are a distant fourth to Google, Microsoft and Amazon when it comes to the enterprise cloud."
Mike Klaus, Information Systems Manager at City of Kearney, explained that cost remains an issue: "I need to place hundreds of devices and Apple's offerings, although good, do not provide enough additional value for business to justify the added expense."
Gavin Whatrup, group IT director at Creston, said that integration remains an issue: "That perfect slide transition produced in Keynote won't 'swizzle' correctly in PowerPoint 2010. Sharing files in cloud apps, such as Dropbox for Business, is a cinch, but place the wrong character in the file path and your Windows file share takes a nose dive. You can circumvent some of these issues with additional software and/or guidelines, but now you're in the compromise and complication, and in that space be dragons."
Whatrup added: "If Apple want to be considered on equal terms in the enterprise space, they need to integrate. Beauty and branding alone will get you so far, but the next step has to be for the OSs and protocols to start playing nicely together."
John Gracyalny, VP for IT at SafeAmerica Credit Union, said he issues iPhones to execs who need remote email access "and that works well". But he has also issued iPads to the board running a meeting app in order to eliminate paper, and said "my team spends way too much time supporting those".
He added: "Trying to VPN into our network and RDC [Remote Desktop Connection] to a Windows workstation from an iPad is a nightmare. I've retired mine and gone back to a lightweight Windows laptop."
Shawn Beighle, CIO at International Republican Institute, said: "While I appreciate options and competition, Apple just isn't there yet. I'm happy to be proven wrong though."
According to Chuck Elliott, CIO at Concord University, there is no denying that Apple is a key technology supplier for many businesses, but he added: "What I would like to see from Apple are affordable and effective management tools that aid IT professionals in managing Apple computers and mobile devices in a mixed enterprise environment. Based on Apple's history with enterprise, despite the current collaboration with IBM, this will probably take more time and iterations. In my opinion Apple has what it takes. I would like to know it's a priority for them, and they probably know how much we want it."

Donald Trump Hits Below the Belt in Rosie O'Donnell Feud
Donald Trump still has his panties in a bunch.
In his latest spat with Rosie O'Donnell, the real-estate magnate reportedly sent the black lingerie she wore in the 1994 flick "Exit to Eden" to "View" co-host Barbara Walters, the New York Post's Page Six column reports.
"I sent it to Barbara to hang in her office because I didn't want it in mine," Trump told the paper. "It was funny, except that it was really gross. It's disgusting."
In the movie, O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd played play cops who have to go undercover in sadomasochist garb at a sex camp.
A fan of Trump bought the bustier-panty combo in an auction and had them framed and sent to the Donald.
The ladies of the "View" brought up the strange gesture on Monday's show, but didn't elaborate on the nature of the "gift."
"I really do not want to stir up the whole Donald Trump thing again," Walters said, before letting the subject drop.
She's Old but Not That Old!
HIGHLANDS, N.C. (AP) — An elderly woman who broke her hip when she fell into an open grave as she tried to place flowers on a friend's casket is suing the town and the funeral home.
A federal judge recently allowed Marian May's case to proceed. In court documents, she claims the site was not safe for the June 2004 service, arguing that workers neither dug the grave to the proper size nor covered the opening with plywood. She also said people weren't warned of the danger.
"It is not much fun being down there, where it's nice and black, and you are looking up and I am saying 'Jean, I don't want to go with you,"' May said of her late friend Jean Murphy Henderson.
Her husband, 92-year-old William May, claims the accident has cost him the affection of his wife. May wouldn't reveal her age but said she wasn't as old as her husband. The couple are suing for more than $75,000.
A lawyer representing Highlands said the town isn't responsible for making the grave site safe for the service. In court papers, Bryant Funeral Home also denied responsibility and said workers had warned May to stay away from the graveside.
Jackalope, Big Foot Wanted for Questioning
CHESTERLAND, Ohio (AP) — Is it a goat? Is it a sheep? No, it's a ... what is that thing?
Wildlife experts haven't been able to positively identify at least three animals spotted roaming the woods in Chester Township, about 20 miles east of Cleveland, over the past few months.
"We're not exactly sure what they are," said Allen Lea of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, which has reviewed photos taken by a resident. "But they're definitely not a native species. They're not where they belong."
Police have received calls from residents offering varying descriptions, with possible IDs including bighorn sheep and wild goat.
Sal LaPuma, an avid outdoorsman, said he recently got within 30 feet of one of the animals before it ran away.
"The moment I saw it, I knew it was out of place," he said.
Sgt. Debbie Davis said her Internet searches have failed to identify the "half deer, half ram" she has seen while on patrol.
Experts at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo reviewed the photos and speculated the animals could be tahrs (a wild goat indigenous to Asia) or mouflons (a wild sheep found in Europe and Asia).
Officials believe the animals could have been dumped by their owner or escaped from captivity, although nobody has filed a missing-animal report, township police Chief Mark Purchase said.
He said there were no plans to trap the animals.
"We're not looking to run them out," Purchase said. "But we would like to know what they are."
They Just May Have the Wrong Man
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian judge scolded government prosecutors for filing a corruption charge against a policeman who died two years ago, a news report said Thursday.
Sessions Court Judge Noradidah Ahmad, who was presiding over a bribery case, was surprised Wednesday when she noticed court documents stating that one of two policemen accused in the case had died after a stroke in 2005, the New Straits Times newspaper reported.
"We do not have to include a dead man in the charge. Dead people cannot testify," Noradidah was quoted as saying by the newspaper. "It's 2007 now; surely, the prosecution had time to amend the charge. It is not as if he died yesterday."
The dead policeman, Che Amil Che Rus, was jointly accused with his former colleague of allegedly accepting a bribe of $292 from a relative of a criminal suspect in 2004, the report said.
Officials familiar with the case in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court and the Anti-Corruption Agency, which filed the charge, could not immediately be contacted for comment.
Sankara Nair, a prominent Malaysian lawyer, said he agreed "you cannot charge a dead man."
"When a person dies, the charge dies with him," Nair told the AP.
Prosecutors said they would consider amending the charge to exclude Che Amil from the case, the New Straits Times added.
Che Amil's ex-colleague, Iskarnor Abdul Karim, faces up to 20 years in jail and a $2,920 fine if convicted. Noradidah scheduled the next hearing for Oct. 23.
Now, That's What I Call a Traffic Ham
MADRID, Spain (AP) — A wild boar trapped in the middle of a major highway halted traffic for about 15 minutes outside Barcelona on Thursday, police said.
"The animal was disoriented and did not know how to leave from where it was," said Sonia Gonzalez of the Catalonia Traffic Service.
Police were prepared to shoot the creature if necessary, but eventually it ran away.
Traffic had backed up about two miles at the AP-7, a busy toll road.
The stretch of highway that clogged is in an urban area but not far from a mountain range, and previous incidents of stray wildlife wandering on the road involved cows and ducks, Gonzalez said.

In 1883, Kumagusu left for Tokyo. The following year, after attending Kyoritsu School for one term, he enrolled in Tokyo University Preparatory School (which later became the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tokyo). As classmates, Kumagusu met Natsume Soseki (novelist), Masaoka Shiki (poet), and many other young talents who were to help create the culture of Meiji Era.
However, he did not go to class diligently and instead went to the Library of Ueno where he read books in Japanese, Chinese, and English one after another as he copied them down into notebooks.
He also spent great effort collecting buried pottery, shells, plants, animals, and stones from all over, including Omori and Kamakura.
As a result he failed his examinations, and after this setback he returned to Wakayama in 1886.
That same year, he decided to move to the U.S.A, so he got on a boat from Yokohama and departed, at the age of 19.


Almost seven years ago we awoke in the Undead Asylum. Eager to explore the world of Lordran we stumbled into a beautifully bleak world, completely unprepared to face relentless and unforgiving enemies. Finally, it's time to rekindle the bonfire and return to one of the greatest games of all time in Dark Souls: Remastered.
Whether you've completed Dark Souls once, or countless times, revisiting the sites of the Undead Burg and Firelink Shrine undoubtedly feels like returning home after a long period away. Thanks to the remaster, we'll be heading back into action at a silky smooth 60FPS, opposed to the less than flattering 30FPS of the original version. Now running at 1080p and additionally upscaled to 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro, the Remastered version is a lot easier on the eyes than before.
With small tweaks to the wispy fog on the boss room and updated blue tinge to the souls as they exit an enemies' corpse, this version has included enough subtle changes to make fans' transition from the beauty of the Dark Souls III engine back to the remastered version of Dark Souls a bit more bearable. Dark Souls Remastered is still no match for the stunning graphics seen in Dark Souls III, which some may be disappointed about, but it is still a noticeable improvement.
Braving the world of Dark Souls can be pretty daunting alone and as expected, we'll be seeing online support for the game once again. All four platforms will have dedicated servers although sadly, cross-platform play will not be supported. That said, this time around, the online multiplayer will support up to six players, which is a welcome addition and is more than we've ever seen before. While on the topic of nifty extra inclusions, the Artorias of the Abyss DLC has also been bundled with the remaster, so we'll be getting the full Dark Souls experience here.
So far this all sounds pretty good, although there are a few aspects that didn't fare as well when we checked out the preview build. Motion blur has been added in an attempt to smooth out the movement in this version of the game, and at points this felt way overdone. Without an option to turn motion blur off in the settings on the preview build, this doesn't indicate that players will be able to switch this off in the full version of the console version either.
This is a shame as the game actually looks worse off at points as a result of the blurriness. With regards to performance, despite the opening scenes of the game running very well, I also found that the build froze repeatedly throughout my play through. We imagine this freezing issue should be fixed by the time the game launches however, it's still definitely worth mentioning at this point.
Whether you're a Dark Souls veteran or a brand-new player that has yet to experience the game's unique areas, spectacular boss fights and mind-boggling lore, now is a great time to return to Lordran. Improved resolution, higher framerate and increased multiplayer support amount to the perfect excuse to relive all of the classic moments of one of the greatest titles of all time once again.
Dark Souls Remastered releases on Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC on May 25, 2018.
What happened to the colours? Why does it look all faded like Dark Souls III? This was an intentional, artistic decision to express the slowly fading world of DSIII and was never intended for the original Dark Souls. I'm not judging it yet. One only has to compare Youtube videos of the recent Devil May Cry remaster to what the game looks like running on your TV to see why. The colours are much, much, much deeper and vibrant and "pop" a lot more than what you can see on Youtube.
That said, who's handling this Remaster? I'm kind of concerned that what we've got here is a third-party adding abitrary upgrades with no regard for the integrity of the original art style. Particles, just add more! Lighting? Make it realistic! Flames? Make it realistic! Colours? Tone them down to make them look more realistic. The sky box? Make that more real too… I mean, this is what appears to be going on here. Whoever is making this seems to think that real = better, art style be damned.
BUT, as I said, I'm not judging yet. If anything, I'll be happy to have a version of one of my top 3 games of all time that runs above 15fps, haha.

Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi media players - 3.6, 4.0 and 5.0
Dan Sung · 7 September 2011
Samsung is big fan of more, and it seems that, now that the Koreans have found a product family that works, it intends to make it a dynasty the to put the Kennedys to shame.
We knew about the Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi 4.0 and 5.0 when we turned up at IFA 2011 but where there's another screen size, there's obviously another opportunity. So, meet the new(er) Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi 3.6 and siblings.
You'll notice that, much like the iPod touch series, that they're a bunch of Samsung Galaxy S machines without the telephone function. Each of them runs Android Gingerbread with a 1GHz processor OMAP processor and sports both back and front cameras for all your imaging as well as Skype video chats. The bigger two can max out the resolution at 3.2 megapixels whereas the 3.6 can manage 2.0. Enough decimals for you?
Of course, what largely separates these creatures is the sizes of their TFT LCD screens. Note, these are not AMOLEDs of any sort. Nonetheless, the sheer size of the Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi 5.0 was quite something to behold, and, straight LCD or not, the screen looked fantastic.
Used to a 4.3-inch smartphone, it did rather come across like a pair of clown shoes but the usefulness of that enormous display didn't take much to imagine. In fact, if you're looking to buy one of these, then, pocket's notwithstanding, the 5.0 is definitely the way to go. It also happens to be the only one of a three to come with a camera flash.
All the same, if you'd rather not part with £237 for the 8GB version or even £205 for the same storage model of the 4.0, then the 3.6 is now available to you. The 3.6 does feel a mite titchy in such large company and with so many big screen smartphones doing the rounds but it's all the cheaper for it at £149 for the 8GB model and £169 for the 16GB. It also comes in black or white just in case the latter gets a little too tacky for your tastes.
Doubtless this "socially connected" junior device will be aimed at the teens and, if we were teens, we'd be perfectly happy to get shot square in the chest by one. ETA early October.

Bolt Threads Partners With Ginkgo Bioworks To Improve Manufacturing Efficiency and Sustainability of b-silk
Bolt Threads has announced a cooperative effort with Ginkgo Bioworks. Bolt Threads is a biotech company that focuses on synthetic fabrics and materials, and Ginkgo Bioworks has built a cell programming platform that aids in the growth of biotechnology across diverse markets. They are combining their accrued knowledge and expertise to pursue a more efficient and cost-effective procedure for Bolt Thread's b-silk.
Bolt Threads' silk innovations begin with Microsilk, a synthetic silk protein that aims to replace the traditional means of harvesting the coveted textile. PETA estimates that nearly 6,600 silkworms are killed in the creation of one kilogram of silk. Its most popular substitute, polyester, is hardly more ethical, as it is heavily reliant on fossil fuels and toxic chemicals. Bolt Threads sought to offer a solution with Microsilk, which combines water, yeast and sugar with spider DNA to replicate the texture. Not only is the new material bio-based and biodegradable, it is also vegan and microbiome friendly.
Bolt Threads
In order to formulate its new invention, Bolt Threads first researched spiders and how they spun their silk. Using that information, it developed proteins to inject into the yeast, which it then isolated and purified to form fibers. In 2017, Bolt worked with designer Stella McCartney to craft a dress made with Microsilk, which was unveiled at New York's MoMA. Since then, Bolt has expanded to hats, ties, and other accessories.
With this prior discovery and subsequent foray, Bolt Threads launched a related endeavor with b-silk. Compared to Microsilk, b-silk seeks to aid the beauty and personal care industry. In the last step, Bolt Threads purifies the protein into a soft powder that it integrates into shampoos, cleansers, lotions, and masks. The company claims that it has protective properties against pollution and blue light. It is also an alternative to keratin and polymers.
With regards to the newly-announced partnership, Ginkgo's knowledge of cellular manipulation will allow Bolt Threads to program the proteins just like a computer could. Together, their end goal is to scale the method to mass availability and other applications, which may translate to Microsilk as well.
"Ginkgo's expertise in engineering biology will enable us to accelerate our work transforming the clean beauty and personal care industries with new, sustainable ingredients that have been previously inaccessible to consumers," said David Breslauer, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Bolt Threads in a joint press release. "b-silk protein has the potential to bring new performance properties to everyday products while utilizing truly sustainable production processes at scale."
Ginkgo Bioworks
Bolt Threads notes that its secondary objectives are to make the silk proteins more sustainable and cost effective. These alternative silk innovations have yet to see widespread adoption, but this maneuver will dictate whether or not that can change for the near future.
"We are thrilled to be working with Bolt Threads, one of the longstanding innovative product designers in synthetic biology, to support their innovation in the beauty and personal care industries," said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO at Ginkgo Bioworks. "We believe in the power of biology to transform every industry that produces physical goods and have built our platform to enable innovators like Bolt Threads to bring their vision to life."
Specific details are pending, as the partnership is still in early development. Silk has been long overdue for a sustainable industry disruption, which Bolt Threads and Ginkgo Bioworks have their eyes solidly trained on, and with $123 million USD raised in backing, they may achieve that goal sooner than expected.
In other material news, Polartec recently announced the elimination of toxic PFAS treatments for its water-repellent fabrics.

Arcade Fire's Tropical Breezes
By Rachel de Havilland
How an accidental trip to a tropical resort inspired Everything Now.
This spring, I received a surprising message: Arcade Fire's manager wanted me to meet Win Butler and Régine Chassagne . . . in Jamaica. Did they want to go on vacation with me? Not quite. They wanted to show me the "birthplace of Everything Now," the locale that inspired the lyrical content of their fantastic new record.
A month later, I'm at the airport in Montego Bay. I'm looking for a driver holding a sign with my name on it when Win and Régine themselves saunter up in fabulous matching linen fatigues and black chauffeur hats. I try to say hello, but they put fingers to their lips: "Shhhhh!" Wordlessly, we climb into a convertible Jeep Wrangler. The ride isn't for talking: as Win steers us along the island's curvy byways, the car stereo blasts Everything Now. When the record ends, Win breaks the silence. "The first time I came here, it was by accident. I was driving with a friend. When security asked for my name, I said 'Bill Butler,' and it worked—they thought we were staying there and let us in." Suddenly, we pass a dazzling sign: Sandals Montego Bay Resort.
The Jeep is whisked away by a valet, and a private butler approaches. "My name is Barrington," he says. "Welcome to paradise. Here, everything is unlimited, for your unlimited pleasure." Walking us through the lobby and towards the pool, Barrington lists some of that everything. Swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, waterskiing, tubing, sailing, snorkeling, SCUBA, paddleboarding, golf, croquet, cricket, basketball, tennis, horseshoes, bocce . . . Shuffleboard, lawn chess, table tennis, billiards, rock climbing, Pilates, yoga, cards . . . . Dominoes, squash, racquetball, beach volleyball, and high-energy fitness classes using the world's finest exercise equipment. "Our guests should nurture a mindset of abundance," he concludes, while Regine waggles her eyebrows.
"Barrington, don't forget the Xbox One!" she adds. She turns to me. "It was here that I used that wonderful device for the first time. I achieved a state of absorption so deep that, afterward, I wrote half the record."
As Barrington takes our bags, Win directs us to the nightclub. "This place is where Everything Now began," he says. "After we snuck into the resort, we came here. The club was packed, and everyone was wearing feathered costumes. It was a theme night—the theme was 'Birds.' I went to the bar and ordered a drink. I was going to have a Red Stripe, but the bartender pointed to a sign. It said 'Unlimited Premium Spirits.' He said, 'When drinks are included, there's always a party.' I thought, 'Uh, okay bro'—but that was before he gave me this Robert Mondavi chardonnay that tasted so amazing with the all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet."
When they ventured outside, they were shocked by the crowd at the pool. "It was late at night. There were all these teenagers running around. The adults were dancing with their drinks. On the stage, a man was teaching Jazzercise moves using Jamaican patois." As we walk outside, Win is fully immersed in his reverie, lost in the remembered moment. Getting in the spirit, I offer to buy a round of drinks. "Hahahahaha that's it, man!" he says. "That's what I'm trying to tell you! All the drinks, all the food, all the fun exercise and games—it's all unlimited, all included! Put that money away!" Wait—is "Infinite Content" about infinite booze?
When they see Win and Régine on the prowl, the bartenders begin to pour liquid gold from an Appleton Estate rum bottle into three gigantic glasses. "That first time the bartender poured the rum," Win recalls, "he kept pouring . . . and pouring . . . and pouring, waiting for us to say 'stop.' It was like a game of chicken. Neither of us wanted it to end—And it didn't have to." He pauses and, when he resumes speaking, wonder fills his voice. "It's unlimited, it's included. All of it, everything. That's when it clicked. I had no idea it could be that way. That moment was so powerful. Later that night, at the resort's British pub, in between rounds of darts, I wrote the lyrics for 'Everything Now' and 'Creature Comfort' on a bunch of napkins. It just flowed."
Later that night, I discovered that there were nine restaurants on the premises—plus an after-hours speakeasy and a pop-up ramen shop. I started to understand the band's "everything now" reinvention. The disco mirrorballs of Reflektor, it seems, were merely a gateway drug, leading our wholesome, twee indie heroes into a world of carefree, hedonistic gluttony and spellbound fascination. Who knew it was possible to discover the truth about our capitalist society in the midst of a Jamaican resort vacation? I'll tell you who: Arcade Fire.
Hey, bartender—I'd like some infinite ABBA with my infinite rum, please!

Memphis è un musical con musiche e testi di David Bryan e libretto e testi di Joe DiPietro. Vagamente basato sulla figura del disc jockey di Memphis Dewey Phillips, uno dei primi dj bianchi che hanno suonato black music negli Anni Cinquanta, ha esordito a Broadway dal 19 ottobre 2009 al 5 agosto 2012. Questa produzione ha vinto quattro Tony Awards nell'edizione del 2010, tra cui quello di Miglior Musical. Lo spettacolo era già stato messo in scena presso il North Shore Music Theatre a Beverly (Massachusetts) e TheatreWorks a Mountain View, in California, durante la stagione 2003-2004, così come al Fifth Avenue Theatre a Seattle durante la stagione 2008-2009.

Produzioni

Off-Broadway
La storia per Memphis venne sviluppata dal produttore teatrale George W. George. Dopo produzioni al North Shore Music Theatre a Beverly, in Massachusetts e al TheatreWorks a Mountain View, in California durante la stagione 2003-2004, il musical andò in scena con la compagnia La Jolla Playhouse a San Diego dal 19 agosto al 28 settembre 2008 e al Fifth Avenue Theatre di Seattle dal 27 gennaio al 15 febbraio 2009.

Broadway
Diretto da Christopher Ashley e con le coreografie di Sergio Trujillo, la produzione di Broadway ha avuto un'anteprima al Teatro Schubert il 23 settembre 2009 per poi iniziare regolarmente il 19 ottobre. Il cast comprendeva molti di coloro che avevano recitato nei precedenti allestimenti, tra cui Chad Kimball come Huey Calhoun e Montego Glover come Felicia Farrell. Nella produzione erano presenti il costumista Paul Tazewell e lo scenografo David Gallo. Questa produzione ha vinto come miglior musical nella divisione Live Theatre un Golden Icon Awards, e quattro Tony Award tra cui Miglior Musical, e quattro Drama Desk Award.

Lo show ha chiuso il 5 agosto del 2012, dopo 30 anteprime e 1.165 spettacoli.

La produzione allestita a Broadway è stato filmata durante le rappresentazioni dal 18 al 21 gennaio 2011 in alta definizione: il prodotto finale, diretto da Don Roy King e con Matt Kaplowitz come produttore, è stato proiettato a livello nazionale dal 28 aprile al 3 maggio 2011.

Tour statunitense
In contemporanea con Broadway è partito tour nazionale iniziato presso il teatro Orpheum a Memphis, in Tennessee, nell'ottobre 2011. Bryan Fenkart interpretava il ruolo di Huey Calhoun, e Felicia Boswell quello di Felicia Farrell. Altri membri del cast erano Quentin Earl Darrington, Rhett George, Will Mann, Julie Johnson e William Parry.

West End
Il 21 febbraio 2014 è stato confermato che dal 23 ottobre lo show sarebbe andato in scena presso lo Shaftesbury Theatre del West End, dopo un'anteprima il 9 ottobre 2014. Il cast include Beverley Knight nel ruolo di Felicia, e Killian Donnelly nel ruolo di Huey. Dopo essere stato candidato in otto diverse categorie nel prestigioso premio Laurence Olivier Awards ne ha vinte due come miglior coreografia e migliore sound design. Rachel John ha interpretato Felicia nelle ultime settimane di repliche nel West End.

Giappone
Con la regia di Ed Sylvanus Iskandar e la coreografia di Jeffrey Page, ha esordito all'Akasaka ACT Theater a Tokyo il 30 gennaio 2015. Nel cast Koji Yamamoto impersona Huey Calhoun, e Megumi Hamada Felicia Farrell.

Italia

Viene portato in scena, per la prima volta in Italia, al Teatro Comunale di Cesenatico dal 23 al 26 febbraio 2017 dalla compagnia N.D.O. New Dance Organization.

'Not easy to bring a former dictator to court,' says Nawaz
By Faysal	 On May 23, 2018
The ousted premier, who earlier today recorded a statement before the accountability court in a corruption reference, reiterated that the cases against him were punishment for his pursuit of a treason case against the former president.
"On October 12, 1999, a general named Pervaiz Musharraf captured power by betraying the Constitution. The judges who welcome dictators in every era came forward to welcome him. Eight years later, on Nov 3, 2007, he [Musharraf] broke the Constitution again in the name of emergency, he put a martial law, holding 60 judges including the then chief justice captive in their homes," he maintained.
"As a democratic party, the PML-N took a clear stance against Musharraf's acts. Keeping this stance, we clearly stated during the election campaign for the 2013 elections that Musharraf will be tried for high treason, under Article 6 of the Constitution, if the PML-N formed a government."
He continued that after the PML-N formed the government in 2013, besides working on terrorism and energy crisis, the government also initiated making contacts with legal experts on the case.
"I was advised to let go of this decision. Messages were delivered that nothing would happen to him [Musharraf] because of the cases but a lot of difficulties would be created for me. Ignoring these suggestion-like-threats, I remained steadfast in my aims," he added.
"Even before this, during the PPPs tenure, Asif Ali Zardari came to me with a mainstream political leader and said that we should validate Musharraf's second martial law. Zardari tried to explain to me that this was expedient. I said that for the past 65 years, we have been using such expediency which has weakened the democracy. Now the time has arrived that the dictators who broke the constitution should not be given indemnity and instead be brought to the court. He (Musharraf) should be asked why he broke his oath and used the power of the armed forces for his personal aims," he recalled.
Nawaz claimed that it was no longer a secret how the plan for the 2014 Islamabad sit-in was made, who supported the protesters for four months, and who made them call for his resignation as prime minister over alleged rigging in the 2013 election.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan "himself spoke of the umpire's finger being raised," Nawaz said. "Who was the umpire?" he asked.
The PML-N supreme leader alleged that the purpose of the 2014 sit-in was to remove him from power so that a treason case against Musharraf could be dropped.
"During those days, an intelligence chief had sent a message to me that I should resign or go on a long leave," he said, adding that it was very saddening.
"The purpose behind my attempted ouster was that it would not be difficult to wrap up the case against Musharraf if I had been removed," he alleged.
"The power comes in the hands of a few [military officers] but its cost is paid by the entire army," he said.
The ouster premier rejected the impression that he was against the army. "I know that the army's weakness is the weakness of our defences. I recognise the services of the soldiers who lay their lives," he said.
He added that he had rejected an offer of $5 billion and instead opted to conduct nuclear tests in order to cement the country's defences in the 90s.
"I want to say that the reason for my removal and the unfounded, malicious allegations against me is that I had refused to obey the orders," he said, adding that he, being in power, had been considered a barrier to the achievement of certain goals so he was removed from the party's chairmanship.

What he [Bud Selig] will never say is that Jeffrey Loria is a far worse owner than Frank McCourt on his divorcingest day. He is the Voltron of awful owners. Like McCourt, Loria didn't have a whole lot of money; he bought his controlling stake in the Expos for $75 million Canadian, around $67 million U.S. at the time. Like Rachel Phelps in "Major League," Loria did everything possible to destroy his franchise in an effort to move it. Like Dan Snyder, he allowed his megalomania to influence personnel decisions. And like nobody else, he hoarded massive checks from MLB while passing along the bill for the stadium to the taxpayers.

The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime - Everything That Rises Must Converge and A Good Man Is Hard to Find. O'Connor published her first story, "The Geranium, " in 1946 while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. This Book, which is arranged chronologically, shows that her last story, "Judgement Day, " sent to her publisher shortly before her death, is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of "The Geranium." Taken together, these reveal an amazing lively, imaginative, and penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction written this century. Also included is an introduction and memoir by O'Connor's long-time editor, Robert Giroux.

Commuters can have say in Crossrail 2 consultation
VIEWS are being sought on an idea that could "transform" train journeys for commuters travelling from the county to central and north London.
Becky Middleton
The proposal for a new Crossrail 2 route would link Hampton Court, Shepperton and Epsom to London via three branch lines meeting at Wimbledon.
The plan by London First, a business membership organisation, would connect south-west London and north-east London via a tunnel underneath the capital.
A consultation was launched on Tuesday by Transport for London (TfL) and Network Rail.
TfL commissioner, Sir Peter Hendy, said: "It is vital for the UK economy that we get on and finish Crossrail and the upgrade of the Tube.
"It is equally important for us to look beyond that if we are to accommodate a population forecast to grow to 10 million by the early 2030s."
The public are encouraged to respond and share their views at www.crossrail2.co.uk until August 2.


I've been active on Instagram for a little over a year now, and I often see really amazing, inspirational works of art received as part of swaps. I've seen sign-ups, but never signed up for one myself until my friend Carla hosted an "Under the Sea" themed swap. Growing up on the Pacific Coast, I've always felt a connection to anything ocean-related, so this particular swap was calling my name.
This swap had a few requirements: it couldn't be a simple item, specifically it had to include at least 2 of the following features: embroidery/handstitching, patchwork, paper piecing, english paper piecing, multiple zippers, quilt blocks. We were sent a small questionnaire filled out by our recipient with their favourite colours, fabrics, likes/dislikes etc.
My recipient loves sea turtles and I wanted to challenge myself by trying paper piecing for the first time, so I set out to find a pattern.I find this great sea turtle that comes in 3 sizes designed by fernstitchco. I've had the Noodlehead Maker's Tote pattern for a while now and figured this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a go. So by now I'd figured out what I was going to make, but I had a little problem: I actually didn't know how to paper piece.
Right about now is when I got really happy I have creativebug! I hopped over there, thinking there ought to be a class, and I was right! Not only is there a paper piecing class, it's taught by Carolyn Friedlander - how cool is that?! My membership includes as many classes as I can watch on so many different types of creative outlets.
Once I had the turtle paper pieced, I created the background large enough to be the front of the tote and continued with the instructions for the Maker's Tote. I also did some quilting in different blues and greens in wavy lines to make the exterior look more ocean-like.
I had so much fun with the outside and the inside was exciting too! I decided to use mesh for one the pockets on one side, just because that seemed more ocean-like to me, plus I just got some in a pretty colour and wanted to use it. I used some of my all-time favourite fabric, Mo Bedell's Full Moon Lagoon for the interior, and also the side panels. I also used Patty Sloniger's Into the Deep from Sitka Fabrics and I love the fresh vibrant look those collections have when combined with the anything-but-basic Cotton + Steel Basics from Fabric Spark.
Another first for me with this project was hand-binding - I'd never done it before, and was a bit intimidated at the prospect. I asked my friendJenny, who does amazing work, if she had any tips. She gave me some pointers and a big dose of encouragement. I must admit, it was a lot nicer to do than I expected. I was able to watch a show while doing the hand-stitching, something I don't do at all while sewing otherwise. So I guess I understand how people say they enjoy hand-stitching and find it relaxing. I might even find some more hand-stitching projects to do!
For the very last step of the bag, I used rivets to attach my handles instead of sewing them on. I thought the metallic from the fabric would go nicely with the rivets.
Overall, this project really got me out of my comfort zone and I'm really thrilled with how it turned out. It was pretty hard to part with. My partner has received it, and she seems really happy with it.
Know what I got for the swap? A Maker's Tote! Isn't that a funny coincidence?! I love that adorable whale! Both the one I made and received are the small size Maker's Tote; the pattern offers instructions for small and large.


Mississippi County is a county located in the Bootheel of the U.S. state of Missouri, with its eastern border formed by the Mississippi River. As of the 2010 census, the population was 14,358. The largest city and county seat is Charleston. The county was officially organized on February 14, 1845, and was named after the Mississippi River.
Mississippi County is located in what was formerly known as "Tywappity Bottom," a vast floodplain area bordered by the Scott County Hills on the north, St. James Bayou on the south, the Mississippi River on the east, and Little River on the west.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 429 square miles (1,110 km²), of which 412 square miles (1,070 km²) is land and 17 square miles (44 km²) (4.0%) is water.
The rural county was at its peak of population in 1940. With changes in agriculture and mechanization requiring fewer workers, the number of jobs have declined, as has county population.
As of the census of 2000, there were 13,427 people, 5,383 households, and 3,671 families residing in the county. The population density was 32 people per square mile (13/km²). There were 5,840 housing units at an average density of 14 per square mile (5/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 77.93% White, 20.53% Black or African American, 0.25% Native American, 0.11% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.29% from other races, and 0.89% from two or more races. Approximately 0.96% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Q: Why is my code calculating an incorrect distance between transformed coordinates? I have a large file of points and I am trying to find the distance between those points and another set of points. Initially I used the to_crs function of geopandas to convert the crs so that I can get an accurate distance measure in terms of meters when I do df.distance(point). However, since the file is very large, it took too long just to convert the crs of the file. The code was running for 2 hours and it still did not finish converting. Therefore, I used this code instead.
inProj = Proj(init='epsg:4326')
outProj = Proj(init='epsg:4808')

for index, row in demand_indo_gdf.iterrows():
    o = Point(row['origin_longitude'], row['origin_latitude'])
    o_proj = Point(transform(inProj, outProj, o.x, o.y))

    for i, r in bus_indo_gdf.iterrows():
        stop = r['geometry']
        stop_proj = Point(transform(inProj, outProj, stop.x, stop.y))
        print ('distance:', o_proj.distance(stop_proj), '\n\n')

I thought it may be faster to individually convert the crs and carry out my analysis. For this set of points:
o = (106.901024 -6.229162)
stop = (106.804 -6.21861)

I converted this EPSG 4326 coordinates to the local projection, EPSG 4808, and got this:
o_proj = (0.09183386384156803 -6.229330112968891)
stop_proj = (-0.005201753272169649 -6.218776788266844)

This gave a distance measure of 0.09760780527657992. Google maps gave me a distance measure, for coordinates o and stop, of 10.79km. It looks like the distance measure of my code gives an answer that is 10^-3 times smaller than the actual distance. Why is that so? Is my code correct?

A: The coordinates you are using are in degrees, not in meters.
The Points class that you are using probably does not care about this and calculates the cartesian distance between them.
Please use the Haversine equation, e.g. the one from here:
from math import radians, cos, sin, asin, sqrt

def haversine(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2):
    """
    Calculate the great circle distance between two points
    on the earth (specified in decimal degrees)
    """
    # convert decimal degrees to radians
    lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2 = map(radians, [lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2])

    # haversine formula
    dlon = lon2 - lon1
    dlat = lat2 - lat1
    a = sin(dlat/2)**2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(dlon/2)**2
    c = 2 * asin(sqrt(a))
    r = 6371 # Radius of earth in kilometers. Use 3956 for miles
    return c * r

Then your code returns the correct result:
from pyproj import Proj, transform

inProj = Proj(init='epsg:4326')
outProj = Proj(init='epsg:4808')

o = (106.901024, -6.229162)
stop = (106.804, -6.21861)

o_proj = transform(inProj, outProj, o[0], o[1])
stop_proj = transform(inProj, outProj, stop[0], stop[1])

print(haversine(o_proj[0], o_proj[1], stop_proj[0], stop_proj[1]))


The Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Monday night left for South Africa to attend a forum on fighting corruption.
A statement signed by the Special Assistant to the ex-president, Mr Victor Smith said his wife accompanied him.
The five-day meeting is being co-hosted by the African Union Commission, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and South Africa.
It is intended to consolidate Africa's anti-corruption initiatives and infuse an African perspective into the definition, perspectives and mechanism for fighting corruption.

Bloober Team SA est un studio développement de jeux vidéo polonais basé à Cracovie. Fondée en novembre 2008 par Peter Babieno et Peter Bielatowicz, la société est surtout connue pour avoir développé Layers of Fear (2016), Observer (2017), Blair Witch (2019) et The Medium (2021). En janvier 2018, Bloober Team a reçu le prix Paszport Polityki dans la catégorie "Culture numérique".

Histoire
Bloober Team a été fondée par Peter Babieno et Peter Bielatowicz. Le studio faisait à l'origine partie de Nibris, un studio créé en 2006, mais cherchait à devenir indépendant grâce au financement d'investisseurs. Le studio a été officiellement lancé le 6 novembre 2008, employant 20 personnes dans les bureaux de Cracovie. Babieno est devenu le directeur général de l'entreprise. En octobre 2010, à la suite de la décision de Nibris de quitter l'activité de développement de jeux et à l'annulation de leur seul jeu vidéo, Sadness, de nombreux développeurs de la société ont rejoint Bloober Team.

L'un de leurs premiers titres qu'ils ont développés était Music Master : Chopin pour Microsoft Windows et iOS. Parce qu'il est sorti pour célébrer le 200e anniversaire de la naissance de Frédéric Chopin, le jeu contient plusieurs interprétations au piano et au chant de l'œuvre de Chopin.   En 2013, ils ont sorti un jeu d'arène de combat en ligne multijoueur gratuit Deathmatch Village pour PlayStation 3 et PlayStation Vita. Il propose une interactivité croisée entre les deux consoles et se compose de batailles d'arène à trois contre trois.

L'un des tournants de l'histoire de Bloober Team a été le développement de Basement Crawl, qui a fait ses débuts aux côtés de la PlayStation 4. À la suite d'une mauvaise réception, le studio a retravaillé le jeu en réutilisant le concept de base du jeu tout en introduisant de nouveaux graphismes, mécanismes de jeu, histoire et modes de jeu. Le produit résultant, Brawl, a été publié en février 2015 avec des critiques favorables et a été mis gratuitement à la disposition des propriétaires de Basement Crawl. Il s'ensuit ensuite, la sortie de Layers Of Fear, un survival horror sorti en 2016 qui connu un succès critique mitigé, et de Observer en 2017 qui reçu un meilleur accueil.

Le développeur a reçu le prix Paszport Polityki dans la catégorie "Culture numérique" le 10 janvier 2018. Un nouveau projet, baptisé Project Méliès, a été annoncé le 8 mars 2018. En octobre de la même année, le titre a été indiqué comme étant Layers of Fear 2, qui sorti en 2019 et est édité Gun Media.

En 2009, Bloober Team a fondé une filiale à responsabilité limitée iFun4all sp. z o.o. et l'a ensuite apporté à la bourse NewConnect avec son introduction en bourse le 23 septembre 2016. Le 23 août 2019, la société a changé son nom d'iFun4all en Draw Distance.  Bloober Team reste propriétaire de 34,98% des actions de Draw Distance.

Après environ un an de négociations avec diverses sociétés liées à une acquisition, Bloober Team a déclaré en mars 2021 qu'elle prévoyait de rester en tant que société indépendante, mais chercherait à établir un partenariat stratégique avec l'une de ces sociétés à l'avenir.

Bloober Team et Konami ont annoncé un partenariat stratégique en juin 2021 pour partager conjointement la technologie et le développement de jeux vers des titres de jeux vidéo.

En octobre 2021, Bloober Team a annoncé que Tencent devenait son actionnaire majoritaire avec 22 % des actions. En mai 2022, Bloober Team a informé un « important accord de licence et de distribution » avec Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Pendant le Summer Games Fest 2022, l'équipe Bloober a confirmé qu'elle travaillait sur un nouveau Layers of Fear, décrit à la fois comme un remaster et une suite de la série originale, construit à l'aide d'Unreal Engine 5.

Tom Cruise returns as Maverick in these exclusive images from the Top Gun sequel
By Matt Maytum
last updated 28 March 2022
Plus, a new look at Miles Teller as Goose's son, Rooster

For a sequel to a film built around the need for speed, Top Gun: Maverick has been a long time coming. Recent additional delays caused by the pandemic mean that this sequel is finally touching down 36 years after the original landed.
That's a long wait for fans who've been clamouring for more since Tony Scott's fighter-pilot drama took their breath away in 1986. But, Maverick, true to his call sign, has never played by the rules.
In the cover story of the new issue of Total Film magazine (opens in new tab), Tom Cruise and the cast and filmmakers of Top Gun: Maverick talk in depth about the years in the making sequel. Below, you can check out three exclusive new images from the issue:
(Image credit: Paramount Picss)
The long-anticipated sequel sees Tom Cruise's titular aviator, Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, back in the cockpit once more. When we pick up with Mav in Top Gun: Maverick, he's still taking to the skies as a test pilot, having avoided the promotions that would chain him to a desk.
A highly specialised mission requires him to train a detachment of graduates from Top Gun (the United States Navy's Fighter Weapons School, to give it its more formal name). So we're talking the best of the best *of the best* young Naval Aviators. Of course, among their number is Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of Mav's former Radar Intercept Officer, Nick Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards), better known as Goose. Goose died in the first film during an ejection gone wrong, sending Maverick into a guilt-ridden crisis.
Top Gun: Maverick opens in UK cinemas on May 25, and US cinemas on May 27. For much more from Cruise, Teller, the new cast and the filmmaking team of director Joseph Kosinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, check out the new issue of Total Film (opens in new tab) when it hits shelves on Thursday 31 March.

Fight'N Rage (Switch, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on October 14th, 2019 by Cary Woodham
2-D side scrolling beat 'em ups were all the rage in the late 80s and early 90s. And if you want to relive those gaming days again, Fight'N Rage plays a lot like those classics. It even looks like something you'd see on a 16-bit console. It's available to download on Switch, Xbox One, and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
In the main story mode, choose from three different characters. A speedy female fighter named Gal, a strong but slow mutant bull man, and a regular fighter dude. Like Final Fight, you can jump with one button, attack with another, and use a special move that takes some of your life bar away. Using a combination of these buttons and joystick movements will activate special attacks and dodges, so it's a bit deeper than what lies on the surface. You'll mostly brawl with mutant beasts like cat people, rats, hogs, dogs, and more. The enemies kind of remind me of the ones you see in games like Battletoads. You can nab throwing weapons like knives and food pickups for health. Up to three can play at the same time, and there are branching pathways and different endings depending on what character you choose.
What's neat about this game is that your score matters. When you get a Game Over screen, the game will tally up your score and give you coins in exchange. You can use these coins to buy unlockables like new costumes, game modes, enemy characters to play as in the Battle Mode, an easier difficulty selection, and much more! The game's graphics are pleasantly nostalgic and there's a pretty rockin' soundtrack in the background, too. You can even choose to make the display look like an old TV, but it was kind of annoying so I turned that option off. Really the only problems I had with the game is that hit detection is a little unforgiving, enemies can gang up on you so bad you can't even see your character, and the game gets way too hard toward the end, even on Easy Mode (those Doberman bouncers can kiss my hiney). But other than that this is a pretty fun little classic styled 2-D beat 'em up.
Kid Factor:
Fight'N Rage is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Blood, Language, Sexual Themes, and Violence. The enemies are pretty cartoony but there are some red stains on floors and walls in some of the levels that look like blood. I didn't notice too much bad language in the text. But some of the female enemies wear skimpy outfits and Gal has some pretty bouncy breast animations. And of course the game is violent. But I grew up playing games like this and I think I turned out OK. Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play. But younger gamers may still get frustrated at the high difficulty.

Cheers! German club Robert Johnson unveils sparkling wine as part of 'Keep In Touch' campaign
Offenbach-based club Robert Johnson has always done things on its own terms, and its latest campaign, Keep In Touch, offers rave-starved punters the chance to purchase an exclusive sparking wine featuring slogans inspired by the venue.
Available through the standalone site www.keepintouch.love, the wine bottles feature slogans such as 'Explain to me, how can there be another last record', 'If you talk to her, she can't sing along', and 'Music saved my life', and were commissioned by sommelier Peter Wittner and club co-founder Ata Macias.
Other products available as part of the campaign include screen prints developed in collaboration with Ivan Smagghe, a key chain designed by Mirko Borsche, a series of wall lamps designed by Solomun, and a punching bag – just the thing to relieve the tension before the clubs open up again.
More products are on the way, including collaborations with Gerd Janson, Sven Vath and others. It's a far cry from commemorative t-shirts, that's for sure (although those are also available via the club's Bandcamp page).
All proceeds from the sale will go towards the preservation of the venue, which has significant financial difficulties having been closed for a year now – its last show was an Âme all-nighter on 7 March 2020.
The full range of products can be found here.

composite pattern javascript
Decorator Design Pattern The decorator pattern lets you add new properties to objects by placing these objects inside wrappers. It is used: When you want to represent a full or partial hierarchy of objects. In a loosely-typed language such as JavaScript, it can often be helpful to know whether we are dealing with a single element or multiple elements. When the responsibilities are needed to be added dynamically to the individual objects without affecting other objects. Design Components in the Composite Pattern. Composite pattern is a partitioning design pattern and describes a group of objects that is treated the same way as a single instance of the same type of object. The common functionalities of both of these classes are abstracted out in an interface. The Composite Pattern can sometimes cause problems as well. A Composite intends to compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly. The composite design pattern lets the client treat individual objects and compositions uniformly. Typically the examples used talk in terms of treating leaves and nodes the same, but the pattern … In this post, we will be going over the Composite Design Pattern in JavaScript. javascript tree nodes composite-patterns nodeobject Updated Mar 17, 2017; JavaScript; javamultiplex / java-design-pattern Star 1 Code Issues Pull requests This repository contains all the design patterns with example. Composite: A structure of simple and composite objects which makes the total object more than just the sum of its parts. ... We're now going to examine a variation of the Decorator first presented in a JavaScript form in Pro JavaScript Design Patterns (PJDP) by Dustin Diaz and Ross Harmes. In my implementation of the composite pattern I will consider the Leaf and Node class as same. Each view is represented as a component, and a component can be composed of multiple components. The composite pattern has a collection of the component. Where the responsibility of object may vary from time to time. In software engineering, the composite pattern is a pattern where a group of objects is to be treated in the same way as a single instance of a single object--resulting in … The Composite pattern is a structural design pattern describes a group of objects that is treated the same way as a single instance of the same type of object. Usage of Composite Pattern. The patterns that we are going to talk about in this article are Facade Pattern, Decorator Pattern, Composite Pattern, Adapter pattern, Flyweight Pattern, and Proxy pattern. A Composite is a pattern that is useful anytime you may need to selectively treat a group of objects that are part of a hierarchy as "the same" when they are in fact different. Since the composite pattern uses the same API for both, we can often mistake one for the other and end up with unexpected bugs. Um pattern é uma solução reutilizável que pode ser aplicada em um projeto desenvolvimento de software e, hoje vamos explorar o Composite pattern com implementação JavaScript. Composite pattern diz que um grupo de objetos pode ser tratado da mesma maneira que um objeto individual desse grupo. The composite pattern brings flexibility in an application and makes sure the group of objects behaves in the same way as an individual object. Composite pattern is made of Component and Composite classes. The core thing to keep in mind is the tree structure, while dealing with this design pattern. JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue use the composite pattern to build user interfaces. Base implementation for composite patterns in JavaScript. The intent of a composite is to "compose" objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Find me on medium.

Alright, I have to blog about the events of the past few days because I didn't get the chance to blog. I have to Blog!!!
Pardon me, it's all gonna be about food.
I had a great and fun dinner with a long-time-no-see friend, えつこ. It's great to see her!! I brought her to Hawker's Cuisine, to try Malaysian Chinese Food which i love the most. This place is the best in Perth for Malaysian food. Although the portions are quite small, it's just worth going to that place after eating the food there. Awesome.
I ordered teh-c for her. She loved it! This is her 1st time trying it.
I had Milo peng. Haha. Don't ask me why.
As for the dishes, I ordered Ham yu Fa lam bou. ( salted fish with pork belly) This is my super fav. Although malaysia ones are better.. but this is not too bad at all!
Wat tan hor. She said she wants Keuy teow. So I ordered this. My fav too :) Hor Fan with egg sauce. I personally think that this dish is not as good. Oh, if you like egg sauce kind of noodle, order water prawns noodle. its f$%^& good. Of cuz, price is f$#%^$& good too. Hey, worth it.
Sorry for the photos.. Its all yellowish. Due to the night light plus i'm using my hp to take all these photos.. and i'm lazy to photoshop it. So hehehehe... gomenasai ne!
After dinner, we went to Utopia to chill out. Had bubble tea and Giam Giam (my family wey of saying preserved plum) I bought the Sweet and dark juicy plum, and she got her japanese style of plum! Well, the one she got was candy.
I've tried one, it's like SOUR mannn... but after a while, it tasted like Nano Nano candy. Remember that? I used to eat that every week when i was young.
Speaking about Nano Nano... my cousin Eileen...she just cracks me up everytime i see her. I still remember, when i'm young, very young, probably kindergarten, I used to stay with my cousins Evan and Eileen for fun for a few days. That time, Eileen is still a baby, maybe 1 year old? not too sure, too young to remember hehe. Well, that time she loves singing! very cute. The way she sings.. It's just one word. Awesome. You know why?It's because no matter what songs that comes out from her mouth, the lyrics will became Nano~ Nano~ ~~ Nano Nanoooo~~~ happily dancing around the house and nanoo~~ all the way.
Wey, that's way Eileen loves the Ho sisters so much! hahahahahaha!
I told her, if you cry sommore, i will call the scary aunty. She will lock you up in a box! It's dark and scary inside..


The governor of Delta state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, at the weekend disclosed that he is the only governor among his colleagues across the country who enjoys the support of his predecessors. He stated this at a thanksgiving and grand reception organised by Olorogun John Oguma, a chieftain of the PDP, in honour of Chief James Ibori at the Ibru Unity Square, Ovwor-Olomu, in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta state.
The governor said, "I'm the only governor who had the support of the first and second governors. That was because there was good following that has continued to beget following. I understand our leader (Ibori) because he trained us well as politicians. I have learnt the game from him so well. I am happy that we recognised our leader (Ibori) as a good man''.
Similarly, former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi had confirmed that he has problems with his successor, Willie Obiano and has good reasons to fight him on account of the incumbent's non-performance as governor.


Last week we took a look at what inspired the digital and data revolution that fundamentally transformed the way the United Kingdom's government does business.
While there's no doubt that top-down political leadership helped push digital transformation, it was up to Chief Digital Officers in the U.K.'s various civil service agencies and local governments to successfully implement it.
That's why the CDO Club brought together CDOs and digital experts from the U.K. public sector to discuss their leading strategies and best practices at a "Digital Transformation in the Public Sector" panel, held at the inaugural U.K. CDO Summit, convened at the BBC in London, England, on October 29, 2014.
They presented us with five top tips every Chief Digital Officer in the public sector needs to know.
"We don't have customers, we have users," said Paul Shetler, former CDO of the Ministry of Justice, and now CEO of Australia's Digital Transformation Office.
"When people normally think of digital services, they would normally think of Amazon, or e-commerce, or things like that. In many cases these are all things which people usually choose to go and find.
Probably one of the biggest distinctions between creating digital services for business and for the public sector is the fact that public services must work for everybody. The concept of preferred or targeted customers then goes out the window.
While the U.K. has embraced digital services, it still strives to offer every public services through other means for people who are unwilling, or unable, to go online.
"We need to stop thinking within departmental silos, and think about cross-government solutions," Settle said.
Other panelists agreed: Digital is not just about providing individual digital solutions, but creating efficiency by changing the very structure of the civil service and local governments when it comes to sharing data and helping citizens.
"The Internet has revolutionized every single business model it's touched," Mark Thompson, of Methods Group, said. "The notion that digital in any sense is purely about delivering public service in a digital way …we've got to be kidding ourselves.
While most CDOs' first job is to advocate why digital transformation is necessary, the success of digital services in the U.K. has ensured their continued use. The next problem is weathering the storm of political change and evolving priorities.
"To a certain extent, who's going to say no to digitizing public services?" Settle asked hypothetically. "Both for the better services for the users and for saving money. The general direction of travel is unlikely to change.
"What we're trying to do is build services that are flexible. So that we can change things, so when the policies do change, you don't have to tear up the existing service and start again," she said.
"Elections are a unique hurdle that government digital people have to overcome," Glick noted.
"When I go into meetings within Surry, I don't necessarily introduce myself as Chief Digital Officer. The word 'digital' seems to bring this sort of glaze across the majority of people's faces," Glenday explained.
In our previous post we mentioned how, before 2010, the U.K. government was spending £25 billion per year on IT — more per head than any other country on earth. A large contributor to this was outsourcing major contracts to a few big companies, locking the government in due to its use of external propriety technologies.
Even the economic advantages of outsourcing through cheaper global markets can be invalidated by the inefficiency of such contracts, he noted.
Thompson highlighted the G-Cloud framework as a prime example of how opening the procurement of services to a public marketplace can decrease costs while improving effectiveness.
While digital has made public services more efficient and easier than ever before, the role of public servants, even Chief Digital Officers, is the same as always: helping citizens as best they can. Technology should take a back seat to increasing efficiency across the structure of government. However, as examples like the U.K.'s G-Cloud initiative show, innovation often results from prioritizing the five tips described above.

A thrilling new novel from the author of critically acclaimed DOWN THE HUME. Don't worry about the housing bubble, she would say. Don't worry about the fact that you will never be able to afford a home. Worry about the day after. That's when they will all come, with their black shirts and bayonets, and then you will see the drowned bodies and slit necks. And I would stand there and say, But Mum, I'm ten years old. Working as a writer hasn't granted Panos the financial success he once imagined, but lobbying against a mosque being built across the road from his home (and the occasional meth-fuelled orgy) helps to pass the time. He's also found himself a gig ghostwriting for a wealthy property developer. The pay cheque alone is enough for him to turn a blind eye to some dodgy dealings - at least for the time being. In a world full of flashy consumerism and aspiration, can Panos really escape his lot in life? And does he really want to? A novel of dark desires and moral gray areas, THE PILLARS is an extraordinary new novel from one of Australia's most exciting contemporary voices. Praise for DOWN THE HUME: 'DOWN THE HUME [is] essential reading in these times of "border protection"' - The Saturday Paper 'DOWN THE HUME's propulsive rhythm feels like entering a strong current. Its fast pace and escalating plot are typical of the noir genre, but it is also filled with unexpected and precise turns of phrase, which can shift quickly from the menial to the lyrical.' - The Guardian 'DOWN THE HUME should rightly take its place alongside the fiction of Christos Tsiolkas [and] Maxine Beneba Clarke... as work that reflects the reality and occasional ugliness of Australia's multiculturalism.' - Australian Book Review 'DOWN THE HUME is a robust study of ethnic, class and sexual identities in contemporary Australia.'- The Weekend Australian

Ostracod species living in 13 ponds (25 sample points) in Bardenas Reales de Navarra Natural Park and World Biosphere Reserve are studied for the first time. Nineteen species were identified, nine of them being the most abundant. According to statistical analyses (cluster and Correspondence Analysis), the distribution of ostracod species in this semi-arid area is mainly controlled by water conductivity and pH. The hydroperiod, sediment type, dissolved oxygen, altitude and vegetation cover play a secondary role. Thus, in semi-permanent waters with conductivity between 4.5 and 5.4 mS/cm and pH from 7.95 to 8.73 the most abundant species is Sarscypridopsis aculeata (Costa). In ponds with water conductivity from 0.3 to 2 mS/cm, pH between 7.1 and 7.78 and dissolved oxygen from 0.1 to 7.95 mg/l, Cypridopsis vidua (Müller) s the most abundant species. When the vegetation cover increases in this type of ponds, Limnocythere inopinata (Baird) and Potamocypris villosa (Jurine) appear as more abundant. Finally, in ponds with conductivity between 0.34 and 2.8 mS/cm and sporadic input of running waters llyocypris bradyi Sars, is the most important species. When the internal water current increases in these ponds, Pseudocandona albicans (Brady) appears as most abundant. However, the accumulation of dead organic matter within the bottom sediment of these ponds favours the decrease of dissolved oxygen and the development of Eucypris virens (Jurine). With this work, we contribute to the knowledge of the ostracod biodiversity of this semi-arid environment and the ecological preferences of this group.
