Meet the first New Flame Artists
Sydney Sousa
ArtMart Dates: October 3
Rhode Island based artist Sydney Sousa creates abstract paintings motivated by moments and experiences that evoke an emotional response. Receiving her bachelor's degree from Rhode Island College in painting and psychology allowed her to find a love for oil paint and abstraction. Sousa strives to take something intangible and make it tangible in the form of a painting. Her organic mark-making moves across the surface in various directions playing off the edge of the canvas. Sousa's color choices are often influenced by places visited, the seasons, or the atmosphere around her. The process of painting for Sousa is shaped by her intuition. Sousa's work is not created to be perfect it is created to gain an emotional response by the viewer. She is constantly investigating through painting what it means to be human with personal experiences and emotions.

written that MessageBox is under window package but it is actually just Ext.MessageBox. Is this an error?
Ext.MessageBox is a singleton instance of Ext.window.MessageBox. It's created when the Ext.window.MessagBox is loaded. If you want to use this instance and want to change its button labels, you should do as you did.
Solutions that I found on forum doesn't work.
In 2.2 at least, this does not work. The buttons are directly attached to Ext.MessageBox, and i was not able to find a more direct way to set them than the below.
Ext.MessageBox.OK.text = "my OK content"


Stanley Majewski, Donald MacRae, Eric Douglas, ?, Angus MacLeod, Dennis Scott, David Mackenzie, Andrew Pirie, John Macleod, ?
Wendy Henderson, Florence ?, Sabina Stoltman, Ann MacDonald, ?, Isobel Robertson, Dorothy Shearer, Effie Angus, Emily Heggie, Shirly Henderson.
This is not a Primary 7 class. I think it is a First Year class as there are lots of pupils from Alness and surrounding areas here. I would say it is Class 1B in 1965. In the second row, Susan Urquhart is extreme right and Linden MacLeod is second from the right (beside her). Front row, second from the left is Florence Simpson.
This is quite right Annella as I can't see yourself or my sister (Anne Maclennan) or any of her friends in this photograph.
Third row: 4th left - Fraser Gibb?
3rd row right beside John Macleod is Brian Marshall. 2nd row beside Carlotte Leat is Carolyn Simpson then Rosalind Sangster, Ruby Mackenzie, Sandra Patience, Linden Macleod and Susan Urquhart.
This was class 1B Invergordon Academy and the year was 1964 as I was twelve years old.
2nd row of girls and next to Margaret Mackenzie is Alison Bews not Buns.
Front row next to Wendy Henderson is Florence Simpson and the girl in the middle of the front row is Elizabeth McWhirter.
Just found my brother in this, John Macleod. Can't wait to see his face when he sees this.
This is class 1b. 1965 is the year and I am in the photo - my name is Stan Majewski.
Hi, it is great to see all your faces again. Oh the good days!!
I am now living in Cambridgeshire Stan Majewski. I still come home every year.

Economic Forecasting: An Internet WebQuest
Updated: October 18 2019,
Author: Phillip VanFossen
Standards Summary Introduction Learning Objectives Resource List Process Assessment
National Standards in Economics
National Standards in Financial Literacy
Decision Making/Cost-Benefit Analysis, Employment and Unemployment, Fiscal Policy
Economics is often called the "science of decision making." The decisions that economists analyze range from personal decisions such as how big a pizza to order or whether to buy or lease a new car to the decisions the federal government makes about things like the size of our military. Economists use information about these, and other decisions, to develop indicators that can be used to determine the health of our economy. Just as a physician relies on indicators such as temperature, blood pressure and heart rate to determine the health of a patient, economists use indicators like gross domestic product growth, the unemployment rate and the rate of inflation to predict our nation's economic health.
How do economists make their forecasts about the United States economy? In this lesson you will use the Web to retrieve up-to-date key economic statistics which will provide valuable hints about the state of the future economy. When the lesson is complete, you will have a new or better understanding of how economists predict our economic future
Make certain they can explain the three leading economic indicators: GDP, inflation rate, unemployment rate.
Gather data on the current state of the three leading economic indicators for the United States economy.
Prepare a report for their client that includes:
– at least one graph/chart for each of the three indicators.
– a brief explanation of the status of that indicator.
– a prediction for the health of the United States economy over the next 12 months.

Use the following links to resources that may help you and your AEF partners prepare your report to your client:
In order to complete your client's report, you will need to complete the following tasks:
Briefly (one-two sentences) describe each of the three leading economic indicators: GNP, inflation rate, and unemployment rate. Include a description of the impact of each indicator on the nation's economic health.
Briefly describe the trends in each indicator over the past 12 months (e.g., is GNP up? By how much?).
Print out a graph/chart for each indicator that shows the trend of that indicator over the last 12 months. (Record the URL, too.)
Compile these pieces into a coherent recommendation to Ms. Jones. Should she bring her guava jelly business to the United States? What is the outlook for the economic health of the nation?
Send your recommendation to EconEdLink and have it posted on this page.
Evaluating the accuracy of your forecast will take time. Over the next few months, various predictions about the future health of our economy will emerge. Often economists are surveyed to determine their beliefs. Here is an example of such a survey, https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/economy/econ0051.htm . Watch the newspaper and listen to financial news reports to compare your firm's forecast with that of professional forecasters. Were you right in your advice to Ms. Jones?

If there's a name as synonymous with Star Wars that's not an actor or George Lucas, it's Ralph McQuarrie. He was the first illustrator that George used to bring his ideas to the life by way of McQuarrie's exceptional drawing and painting talents. Ralph did conceptual art design for all three original films. Star Wars as we know it would be a completely different beast if a different artist was used to draw the Millennium Falcon.
For the Prequel trilogy, a different lead concept designer was used (Doug Chang). However, with the advent of the Star Wars Rebels TV show, Lucasfilm took a look at the original designs McQuarrie did in the past that did not necessarily see the light of day on the silver screen.
This use of McQuarrie's work was continued into the development of The Force Awakens and some of those elements made it on to the screen. Here's what we've noticed as being directly inspired by the works of McQuarrie.
Our favourite is the X-Wing design. Note the split engines!
On the planet Jakku, there's a opening entrance to the trading post where Rey gets her supplies from. It's a direct lift from McQuarrie's work - I think this was from the Return of the Jedi design era.
When we first step inside Maz Kanata's Castle we track a furry looking green tailed fellow. He's known as a X and was once a suggestion for what the Greedo character in A New Hope could look like.
There's also some more minor examples of costume elements that may have made their way on to Rey's outfit and some Snow Stormtroopers (there were cut from the movie). You could even argue his designs influenced the Star Killer base look.
McQuarrie brought life to R2D2 and C3PO and it was his drawings of them that George Lucas used to help shop his Star Wars stories around the film studios as he attempted to get his space opera made. That design work has also perhaps helped to inspire the design of BB-8.
Check out an original sketch idea and compare to the final version of BB8 and decided on that one for youself!
Nice insights James. I haven't looked over McQuarrie's original trilogy paintings in quite a long time. Lots of direct borrows from those!
I would love to have taken a visit in that man's brain.


The footprint of old syphilis: using a reverse screening algorithm for syphilis testing in a U.S. Geographic Information Systems-Based Community Outreach Program.
The impact of syphilis reverse sequence screening has not been evaluated in community outreach. Using reverse sequence screening in neighborhoods identified with geographic information systems, we found that among 239 participants, 45 (19%) were seropositive. Of these, 3 (7%) had untreated syphilis, 33 (73%) had previously treated syphilis infection, and 9 (20%) had negative nontreponemal test results.

Monitoring Student's Locations via the School Bus
By Ginger Hill
There seems to always be talk about the actual securing of school buildings and other on-ground facilities, like the gym or band hall, or even the addition of video surveillance in strategic locations, but what about protecting students and staff while on the bus ride to and from school? While the obvious option may seem to be the installation of video surveillance on the bus, in which school administration and the local police have direct access to the video feeds, some schools are putting the responsibility of security on the students.
In Volusia County schools, Florida, students must take action to enter their bus. Elementary students are responsible for using ID cards while middle school and high school students have to remember data to input into a credit card-like machine, mounted on the dashboard to the right of the driver.
As students swipe or punch in their ID, a green light will appear if the student is trying to get onto the correct bus, a red light if trying to load the incorrect bus. The system tracks if and when students enter/exit the bus, enabling staff to tell parents who call the school looking for their child after school hours whether the child rode the bus and where he or she exited. It also helps bus drivers track the number of students who ride the bus during the state-designated count weeks. This empowers bus drivers to stay focused on the road, rather than on accurately counting the number of passengers. (This number determines the amount of money the district will receive for transportation.)
Some of the teenaged students at Volusia County schools complain that this type of bus loading system is a waste of time or they feel like their parents don't trust them; however, safety and security of students and bus drivers was obviously a concern to this school district as it cost $280,000 to install this system.

Home Gaming Project Wingman is ready to take off into the danger zone this summer
Project Wingman is ready to take off into the danger zone this summer
By Darryn Bonthuys
I can't think of any job that would be more terrifying than that of a fighter jet pilot. You're strapped into a glorified rocket that costs more than the GDP of a small African country, it's kitted with all manner of city-levelling rockets and it's the type of vehicle that you have to learn to fly right constantly unless you want an early death. Forget about Resident Evil, aerial combat games are my horror genre.
For those adrenaline junkies who've been watching a bit too much of Top Gun, good news! Project Wingman is aiming to be that dance with digital death that you crave so much, albeit without having to be really really good at maths. Or a mandatory passing grade from your local flight academy. Basically just get in and fly wheeeeeeeee.
Project Wingman hit Kickstarter back in 2018 (where you can grab a free demo to see how it handles in the air), with its development team describing it as a "a combat flight action game with an emphasis on polished and refined gameplay, true-to-its-roots inspirations, and an engaging single player experience".
Here's what it looks like in action:
Dogfight, strike, and fly through combat zones based off an alternate history of Earth. Either over the cold waters of the Bering Strait, attacking tanks in the brutal deserts of the Orient, or diving through the Redwoods to strike targets of opportunity in the Pacific Northwest, across the oceans, above the scarred lands of the world, this war will take you from exotic battlefield to exotic battlefield, all while going up against odds way above your pay grade.
Sound like your cup of dogfight tea? You'll be able to fly into the danger zone in Summer 2020, but if you happen to be a BIG fan of flight simulation then good news! Project Wingman will also be suiting up for some virtually real aerial combat. If you happen to be the sort of person who has an entire cockpit setup just for this type of game, maybe Project Wingman should be on your radar.
Too scary for me though.

Circle Research's Andrew Dalglish points to five themes on marketing departments' radars that show the way for market research trends.
Every year Circle Research and B2B Marketing Magazine rank the UK's top B2B marcomms agencies. 'Hold on Dalglish, you've got the wrong website' I hear you say. 'Research Live is a forum for the research industry, not those marketing types.' Bear with me though.
Who's the primary consumer of a marketing agency's services? The marketing department. And who's a key stakeholder for most client-side and agency researchers? Yup, the marketing department.
So, the health of marketing agencies is a bellwether for the research industry. What is more, marketing agencies often boast close relationships with the marketing team which gives them a particular insight into the CMO's priorities (and therefore the likely nature of their research needs). And don't think that just because the focus of this study was B2B it's not relevant to consumer researchers – many of the agencies in the league have a parallel consumer offering and regardless, with around 45% of 'UK PLC' being B2B focused, B2B has a significant impact on B2C.
Well, it looks like client-side budgets for marketing services are safe for the time-being. Sixty-two per cent of agencies describe the current market as 'good' and a further 26% go so far as to say it's 'strong'. That comes on the back of a good year in 2016: 85% of marketing agencies have grown revenues year-on-year, with an average revenue increase of 9% and an average rise of 31% in net profit. To fuel this, the number of people employed by agencies has jumped by 19% year-on-year.
And what might be on the marketer's research agenda?
One quarter of agency leaders feel that personalised marketing ( 14%) and marketing automation ( 13%) will be a priority. These closely linked trends will see marketers increasingly treat their target audience as 'markets of one' using technology and behavioural data to automatically tailor their message based on individual preferences.
This could go one of two ways for researchers. Some marketers may argue that primary research is obsolete as analysing behavioural data and conducting A/B testing of different messages will reveal how best to target each individual. To an extent, that's true. However, I would argue that technology can determine which message to serve, but these messages still need to be developed and that requires a deep understanding of buyer personality, motivations and preferences. So the best approach is for behavioural data and primary research to go hand in hand.
Linked to this, agency leaders are also excited about the rise of big data, with one in ten ( 7%) seeing data mining and predictive analytics as key themes for 2017. The insights revealed by these techniques are expected to become an integral driver of marketing strategy. As with personalised marketing, this doesn't mean that primary research will become obsolete; rather, it means that researchers will need to embrace new sources of information and integrate these to provide joined up insights.
But all this talk of data doesn't mean that creativity is in decline. Quite the opposite – one fifth ( 20%) of agency leaders flag creativity as the central theme for 2017. There will be a stronger focus on building the brand, tapping into buyers' emotions and taking a more innovative approach to campaigns. Once again, research has an integral role here as it is the very foundation of these activities.
Finally, one in ten ( 9%) agency leaders see an increased focus on customer experience as the key priority for marketers in 2017. This means that good old customer loyalty studies will remain in favour. After all, to enhance the customer experience marketers need to understand the customer journey, the drivers of delight and benchmark performance against these.
So, there we have it. Five themes which will are likely to be on the marketing department's radar – personalisation, automation, big data, creativity and customer experience. Are you ready to provide the insights required?


A recent New York Times piece on General Electric detailed the company's efforts to pare back its financial services operations and return to its roots - making stuff. You know the stuff they mean: kitchen appliances and jet engines, solar panels and locomotives, medical-imaging equipment and yup - light bulbs. For the 20 years preceding our recent financial crisis, GE's financial operations generated billions in profits, and at times appeared to obscure those old-line manufacturing operations that were always the heart and soul of the company. But reaching ever farther to generate profits led GE into a variety of risky loans that resulted in billions in writeoffs, a 67% dividend cut, and the loss of GE's treasured AAA credit rating in early 2009.
Now nearly two years later, GE is back. The stock has tripled in price since March of 2009, the dividend has been increased (twice) in the last six months, and this morning's wires bring a 4th quarter earnings report that should warm the hearts of shareholders and employees. Profits were up 15% for the full year and 31% for the fourth quarter, suggesting a sharply improving trend. Too many investors have ignored GE over the last year. That's likely to change.
My next post will get back to our "Ten Steps to Financial Freedom Series" with Step # 6.

Death Charades Omnia mors aequat
Death Charades
Death Charades is a party game that pokes fun at life's inevitable demise. In timed rounds players draw cards and wordlessly act out the multitude of ways one might meet their maker, seeing how many cards their team can guess before time runs out.
Carpe Diem Mortem
All your friends are going to die, so why not have some fun while you're all still alive?
Print-And-Play
We don't want anyone to feel left out. So, here is a (slightly abridged) version you can print at home for free!
One-Sided Print Two-Sided Print
But Wait… There's More
Download our timer app if you want to play the game in style. And if you act now, it's totally free! Call download now!
The Short Version
If you can play charades you can play Death Charades: Make teams, act out the cards in timed rounds, keep score, don't actually die.
The Long Version
Players split into two or more teams and alternate who is acting in each round. Each round, one player has 45 seconds to draw cards and act out various ways to die while their team guesses. No words are allowed while acting, but noises are encouraged. Some deaths are more fun than others, and those are worth more points, as indicated by the knife icons on the cards. You may skip one card per round, and there are other gameplay cards mixed into the deck that are self-explanatory. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
… And Some Other Stuff
If you don't like a card, toss it. We're all just here to have fun and make death a little less heavy, man. And we included some blanks if you want to add other dumb ways to die. If you can't get enough of Death Charades, sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know about expansion packs, swag, and sick pranks, or find us on social media. Have a suggestion for future decks? Tweet at us. We're so happy you're alive.
Creepy Pyramid An illustration of a pyramid with an Eye of Providence in the middle. Hmmm, what does it mean? Can't be good.
Join the Darkside
(It's ok, it's just an email list)
We promise to message you only when we have cool new stuff (like expansion packs and merch), and we swear on our grave that as long as we're living we'll never sell your address to anyone.
Send us some email
FAQ (If You Must Ask)
Is Death Charades appropriate for children?
We've seen worse in kids' movies, but we suggest that the adults take a quick look to determine if there are any cards they wish to reserve for after the kids are asleep.
Are there expansion packs?
When will then be now? Soon.
Can I buy this game wholesale?
Yep. Email us.
What if someone dies during the game?
Was there a chance they were going to be the next Hitler? Well then that's a win, isn't it? If not, here's a mortuary finder. From our lawyers: We are not affiliated in any way with the mortuary finder, so you mustn't worry about us profiting off of any deaths that occur during gameplay.
I am really morbid. Where can I make suggestions about cards to add?
Tweet it at us. If it's amazing and gets a million likes we'll include it in the next edition or in an expansion pack with your name on the card. If it's too hot for the internet feel free to send it in a DM.
I can't live without this game. Do you ship outside of the U.S.?
Not yet, but if you sign up for our mailing list you'll be the first to know when we do! Also, if you're royalty or something then we'll make an exception.

Danny Amendola had an interesting interview along those lines after he left this year, basically saying the Patriots is not a place to make big money as a player but to win stuff then move on. I think it's am interesting stance: you only really need one (or two) super stars, then the rest can be good journeymen that fit the team.
Probably why I always think the Patriots are boring to watch, there's not a whole lot of individual flair, just a team that performs very well, often doing the minimum needed to win the game. Can't knock them that, but it's dull.
Edelman took his punishment for the drugs offence, though he's not the only one in the league whose been caught out by it. He was coming off a complete ACL tear though so he was always up against it. Can't defend him for taking a shortcut but as said, he served his punishment.
That said, he's been doing what he did in the Super Bowl for years. He's so difficult to cover and is as slippery as an eel. He's probably going to make the hall of fame one day.
I think saying Gurley being injured cost the Rams is a bit insulting to both the Rams offense and the Patriots defense. When Gurley was on the field he was still kept in pretty good check. It was a very tight, defensive game. Both offenses struggled. The Rams were the 11th best offense of all time and our underestimated defense held them to just 3pts. It was a David vs Goliath type performance.
There should only be one punishment for drugs cheats in any sport: lifetime ban.
Was more meaning the NFLs general "drugs are fine" than Edelman himself... When you compare the MVP bru-ha-ha to the treatment that soneone like Justin Gatlin received in athletics is difficult not to draw the conclusion that football doesn't care.
Gurley has been a different player for weeks... The guy that was running and receiving three figures every game at the start of the season wouldn't have been so stoppable.
Still... No doubt pats deserved the win... 2 good defensive displays but they monstered the rams in the first half.
Can't help but think about the 50 all thriller the saints and chiefs would have served up though.


PLENTY TO ENJOY IN THE OLDHAM ATHLETIC PROGRAMME!

The blood lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) is one of nine members of the scadoxus genus, and is native to southern Africa. It grows in lowlands, savannah woodlands, and is often found in the shade of trees growing along riverbanks. This flower is also known as the African blood lily, Fireball lily, Catherine wheel, and Poison root. It is a tropical perennial, and will not grow out of doors in areas experiencing winter frosts.
A Plant Of Several Names - Of the names the blood lily has been given, fireball lily seems almost the most appropriate. The plant emerges from the ground in the spring as a single stalk, not unlike the mushroom. At the tip of the stalk an umber containing upwards to 200 blossoms soon appears. The flowers form a sphere which can be up to 10 inches in diameter and the tip of the stem where the ball forms is often waist high. The color of the blossoms varies from a reddish pink to a bright red-orange, and is to say the least, a head turner. One comment is that it looks like a brilliantly colored round bathroom sponge! The plant blooms in mid to late spring. The bloom lasts from about 2 weeks, and it is only after the bloom has died back that the leaves of the plant emerge. The spoon-shaped leaves are also very attractive, deep green in color, with pronounced ribs and a ruffled texture. The leaves stay green until well into the winter months, often not turning yellow and dying back until the plant goes dormant in January or February. As such, the blood lily makes an attractive indoor plant, especially when in a container with other tropical plants or ferns.
Best Grown Indoors In Most Places - In the United States, the blood lily is successfully grown outdoors only in southern Florida, although a few other southern states have reported some success. In most of the United States this plant would have to be either grown in a container as an indoor plant, or taken in well before first frost. When the plant goes dormant in January or February, it prefers a hot dry environment. Letting the plant overwinter in a greenhouse or hothouse would be ideal in most locations.
A Toxic Plant - A controversial aspect of the blood lily is its toxicity. All members of the scadoxus genus are poisonous, particularly the roots and the seeds. Some reports indicate that fairly large quantities of the plant would have to be ingested to be dangerous, yet in Africa the toxic elements of the plant are used in poison arrow tips and to kill fish. Even it the toxic elements have been concentrated for these purposes, it would better to be safe than sorry, and take care if planted where children or pets are about and may decide to take a bite of the plant or its berries. In spite of this controversy, the plant is increasing in popularity, especially in places where it can be grown out of doors, such as Florida and Hawaii.
Culture - The blood lily, once established, does not like to be moved, and bulbs that are dug up and replanted generally do not perform well. A plant left undisturbed will bloom (once a year) for many years, and in fact can take a certain amount of abuse over that time. The plant can be propagated from seeds, although the seeds do not keep well so generally are not marketed. The preferred method of propagation is by planting bulblets. If a mature bulb is scored on the bottom, bulblets will eventually form, and these can be removed and replanted. You may get a plant that blooms the next year, or more often than not, in two years. When planted from seed it will be three years before the first bloom appears.
If you do decide to add a blood lily to your garden, or set one out in a container in the summer, be prepared to see a good number of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds during its blooming period. Hummingbirds especially are attracted to the plant, but experience varying degrees of difficulty in attempting to get by the spiky stamens to the nectar.
Check out the nursery catalogs or the Internet for photos of this unusual plant, and you'll no doubt be convinced that a blood lily would be a great addition to your home or garden.

Q: Qt- QNetworkReply delete operator- Runtime Crash In my Qt application, I am using QNetworkAccessManager in a Thread so as to keep my main thread free to do its task. For every get operation that I do, I am storing the QNetworkReply* in a list and upon a response, I retrieve it from my list, delete the entry in the list and call deleteLater() on the QNetworkReply* object. However, after a couple of request/responses here is the crash i get in runtime:
The code that I used is:
void NetworkManager::responseFromServer(QNetworkReply* pReply)
{

  // Retrieve the TileRequestMessage.
  QImage *pImage = imageMapper.value(pReply);
  // Get the bytes from the response.
  QByteArray byteArray = pReply->readAll();
  // Load the QImage with the data.
  bool loaded = pImage->loadFromData(byteArray);

  // Remove the request from book-keeping.
  imageMapper.remove(mapIterator.key());
  pReply->deleteLater();
  return;
}

where pImage is a pointer to a object of type QImage. The Object is created in advance and its pointer mapped to a QNetworkReply* is stored in a QMap.
The error I get is:

Stopped at 0x637837aa (operator delete) in thread 1 (missing debug information).

I am using msvc to compile my Qt code. Any heads-up on what the problem might be ??
Thanks,
Vishnu.

A: Without looking at your actual code and based on your error description, it could be possible that you are deleting the QNetworkReply before it has emitted the finished signal. So after the deletion when new data becomes available - QNetworkReply emits the readyRead signal which is when it would be trying to access the already deleted entry and hence the "read access violation" errors.

A: Just an idea:
Since you use deleteLater() you do not know when the delete will take place and thus when the pointer QNetworkReply* may be invalid in your list.
Thus, maybe try wrapping your pointer in a guared pointer (QPointer) and then just remove it from the list if it deleted/null. If it's still a valid pointer you call deleteLater();

Lavalira (Puffinus olsoni) är en förhistorisk utdöd fågel i familjen liror inom ordningen stormfåglar.

Utbredning och utdöende
Lavaliran förekom tidigare på Lanzarote och Fuerteventura i Kanarieöarna. Lavaliran beskrevs 1990 utifrån benlämningar funna i framförallt lavafält. Benen har med hjälp av kol-14-metoden konstaterats vara knappt 1300 år gamla. Den tros ha dött ut först efter att européer kom till öarna under 1400-talet, troligen på grund av jakt och införsel av invasiva djurarter som råttor.

Utseende
Lavaliran var i storlek mellan mindre lira och makaronesisk lira.

Namn
Fågelns vetenskapliga artnamn hedrar den amerikanske ornitologen och paleontologen Storrs Lovejoy Olson.

OPEC Plans Automatic Supply Changes; Band of Prices to Determine Oil Flow
By Bhushan Bahree and Alexei BarrionuevoStaff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal
VIENNA -- The attention at this week's Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries meeting was focused on increasing oil production and trying to bring Iran in line with other members. But in their closed-door meetings, OPEC oil ministers also quietly took steps to exert unprecedented control over world prices and keep them at relatively high levels.
As part of their talks, OPEC ministers agreed to establish a price band in which their supply could change automatically when certain, undisclosed levels are reached. The group also gave unusual latitude to its new president, Ali Rodriguez, the Venezuelan oil minister, to ask countries to shift their production without having to call another gathering.
"I have the power now to send instructions to each country," Mr. Rodriguez said, and he said he can do it quickly. When prices breach the upper or lower limits of the band, he said he can call "each country on the phone and tell them, 'Cut or increase.' "
Such a move to control prices hasn't been seen in more than three decades, since Texas was an oil superpower and the state's railroad commission tightly regulated production levels. Though Mr. Rodriguez will make the phone calls, the effort largely reflects the newfound assertiveness of Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, and its oil minister, Ali Naimi.
Persuasive Minister
During more than six hours of talks Tuesday, Mr. Naimi used charts, data and graphs to persuade other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries about both the need for production increases and better control of prices. "The graphs and tables were in color," said Mr. Naimi, with a gentle smile, as he sat in his hotel suite here Wednesday.


The Pakistan team may not have put up an impressive show in the ongoing men's Hockey World Cup so far, but the players are winning hearts on internet. Pakistan team visited the a Village in Bhubaneswar and entertained fans as they grooved to a Bollywood song amid the cheer from spectators. A video of Muhammad Irfan displaying his Bhangra moves with World Cup mascot Olly and other players was shared by the official twitter handle of Indian Hockey.
Meanwhile, Pakistan is slated to face Netherlands in their last pool match on December 9. After losing to Germany, four-time champions Pakistan played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Malaysia in a Pool D match as both the teams remained in the hunt for a knock-out round berth in the Odisha World Cup.

It's here! One of the most popular art and party festivals in Miami. Simply Fabulous!
This is the sister art exhibition to the main event in Basel, Switzerland. With our glorious winter weather, the December event is always held in the Miami area, primarily the Design District and parties in South Beach.
Everything you can imagine from traditional paintings and sculptures to pieces of work where you ask--what on earth inspired the artist to create this piece?
Art lovers and admirers, celebrity and corporate jet setters and locals who want to see and be seen.
This year the event is bigger than ever. The main event is held at the Convention Center but Art Basel is also known for the 20+ satellite fairs.
If you have never been to Art Basel here is are some important tips because it can be overwhelming.
Plan now! Visit the Main Page to select events associated with the official Art Basel event. Please note the popular satellite events are separate.
The popular satellite events are spread out between Wynwood neighborhood and the Design District. The entry fees vary but the average price is $20.
3. Buy your tickets now and plan to arrive early. The events are held in neighborhoods so traffic and parking will take approximately one hour if you arrive after 11am. Valet parking may be available but be prepared to pay handsomely. Typically it takes several hours to walk through a fair and absorb the artwork. So perhaps two a day is the most one can appreciate.
To give you a glimpse, here is posting about my visit to PULSE Art Basel in 2009. I'm tempted to return there again this year.
Another fabulous event in Miami, Florida! Enjoy!

It's that time again! I'm gearing up for the fall and one of my favorite colors is back in the mix! Oxblood has to be one of my favorite fall colors; as I wear mainly black, grey, and and more black. I was walking through the mall, window shopping before work and couldn't help but notice that oxblood was the main common color in all the retail stores. Since fall is around the corner and back to school shopping has been in full swing for a couple weeks now, retail stores are bringing out there "Pre-Fall" lines. I'm totally in love with what I've seen in stores and hey, if it gives me an excuse to go buy more clothes to infuse color in my fall wardrobe than I'm all for it.

Space Ark Xbox 360 Review
Review July 23rd 2010 Kevin Powell
It's such a shame that more games can't be included in Microsoft's 'Summer of Arcade' campaign, because the ones that do usually don't need the publicity. The ones that don't – case in point: Space Ark – are left outside with the rest of the riff-raff, fighting it out for the attention of the masses. Without some sort of promotional backing from Microsoft, it's difficult to market a new IP at 800MSP, especially when an increasing number of genuinely interesting games are cropping up on the Indie Channel for little more than 80 points. Released just under a month before Summer of Arcade, Space Ark just misses the boat (do you see?) but remains a fun addition to XBLA's roster regardless.
Though fundamentally you could consider Space Ark to be a Break-Out clone, there's a lot more going for this arcade gem than initially meets the eye. As far as the fairly irrelevant (but none the less charming) narrative goes, a group of Arkonauts (cutesy animals in space suits) are travelling the galaxy in a state of cryogenic freezing, waiting for new planets to terra-form. It all makes perfect sense. Each new level appears in the form of a new barren planet to terra-form, with a different Arkonaut awaking from cryogenic hibernation to perform the task in hand.
Missions play a bit like Arkanoid, but with less brick-breaking and more blob-collecting. Scattered within each level are a number of DNA blocks of varying colour. By using the bounce pad (that moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen via the left thumb-stick) to initially launch, and then ricochet the Arkonaut into the designated playing area, players must collect all of the present DNA blocks to terraform that fragment of planet. It may sound fairly simplistic, but we've barely scratched the surface.
For a start, the level's exit doesn't open until a target combo has been reached. Combos are gained through the collection of three or more same-colour DNA blocks, and while to begin with they're laid out in nice easy strings for the Arkonaut to gather, they get progressively trickier to collect as the game goes on. Using the right thumb-stick, it's possible to adjust the trajectory of the Arkonaut, providing just enough control to angle jumps toward target DNA, while varying power ups throughout the game provide abilities such as shields, machine guns and lasers to help take out obstacles in the Arkonaut's way.
It's a strange and somewhat unsettling control scheme to get to grips with. While your left hand is moving the base the right hand is moving the Arkonaut, and at first keeping track of both motions at once can feel rather alien after the slew of twin-stick shooters spawned by the advent of XBLA. Give it a few missions to sink in however and it's not long before you're zipping through the air, grabbing a combo of DNA with the right hand and simultaneously collecting the falling fruit and power-ups with the left.
There are still times that the Arkonaut's movement feels sluggish due the nature of the game's gravity and environmental factors that affect the tiny creature, but once you understand the general law of each new element, it becomes a game of strategy rather than the simplistic bouncing of earlier levels. There are missions in which it only takes a few blocks of DNA to be collected individually rather than in a combo to make it impossible to complete, and in these situations it's paramount that you plan your bounces carefully, ensuring that no block is left behind.
It's this factor that changes Space Ark from a happy-go-lucky bouncing marathon, to a far more intriguing puzzle-arcade game. Planning the bounces, figuring out when and why to use power-ups, and deciding when to trigger switches that change the DNA's layout is all part of the bigger picture. It's something that takes time to unfold, but once it does Space Ark becomes a completely different game to the one it starts out as. The same goes for the other game modes available. Survival has Arkonauts collecting DNA as quickly as possible, with time bonuses for fruit and target combos, while time-attack is all about clearing the level of DNA as fast as possible, regardless of combos.
If that wasn't enough, Space Ark features an interesting local multiplayer, which has up to two players working towards the same goal, yet against one another where scores and combos are concerned. It's an amusing premise, with each player trying their best to collect DNA before the other swipes it from beneath their nose. The ability to swap the regular Arkonauts for players' avatars adds an extra level of competition, encouraging a great deal of swearing like any good local multiplayer should.
Space Ark is a charming hybrid of a handful of classic arcade games. Its combination of score-beating arcade mentality, and devious puzzle elements in the later stages, make it shine against the murky backdrop of lesser XBLA titles. Its level/mission structure makes it perfect for a quick pick-me-up, while its addictive nature constantly encourages the 'one more go' attitude. Though it's not exactly cheap at 800 points, it's a far more productive and rewarding use of your money than a lot of the more well-known titles on XBLA. Though Summer of Arcade may be just around the corner, Space Ark is still an incredibly valid purchase.
