prologue > mini playlists > Songs Of My Father
He may have once resembled a 60's era formula one driver posing on a Monaco beach but my old man was never cool, not in any way, shape or form. He just wasn't made that way so such a thing wouldn't even have crossed his mind. A first generation Southerner from a long line of tub thumping Sheffield Socialists who spent their entire lives toiling for other people's benefit, more than anything he was an all-round good bloke who never appeared to be bothered by anything.
If that makes him sound a little boring, he'd have been the first to admit he probably was. The only thing that got him really excited was hi-fi systems and music in every format imaginable; 78 rpm shellacs, eight track cartridges, metal cassettes, compact discs; it made no difference because he loved them all. It's a shame he died at the dawn of the digital age because he would have loved that too.
I guess he inherited that obsession from his father who in his quest for work and a better life upped sticks to find his own patch of paradise in sleepy, 1920's Berkshire. I can still picture old Pop's garden shed, filled to bursting with the carcasses and rusty guts of ancient turntables, speakers and amps. Having your own hi-fi system was never a problem in our house because he was only too happy to knock one up from his huge stock of vintage parts. While the end result looked like a Heath Robinson drawing come to life, the sound was always incredible.
My Dad never built his own hi-fi. He preferred to buy new but he still refused to ditch any of them. Clearing out the loft in the old family home a decade after his death, I came across his last great stash of wood effect and smoked Perspex players beneath a pile of yellowing Hi-Fi Monthly's. And yet, despite his obsession, he never considered the equipment to be more important than the music.
Hidden within the sanctity of his record racks was a wide variety of LP's from Dylan to Debussy and all points in between. Admittedly, in his later years there was a scary amount of easy listening but he also adored girl singers like Sandie Shaw and Dusty Springfield. And beyond them were plenty of bizarre, unexpected pleasures like Isaac Hayes Black Moses, Tangerine Dream's Phaedra, The Sadistic Mika Band, Lonnie Liston Smith and The Floyd's. With their cutting edge production and sound, they were the proverbial wet dream to an audiophile like him.
Of course, growing up I had no idea how my Dad's music would have such a long lasting, profound effect on me. I know for a fact that if it wasn't for him there's no way my life with music and the way it makes my world a better place would have happened. Sure, it may have been my own awareness that ultimately determined my own path but it was his influence and racks of pop, easy listening, folk, country and soul that lit the blue touch paper in the first place. These ten songs are the ones I remember the most and my long overdue tribute to him. Praise be to Bernie wherever he may be!
01 Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group / Cumberland Gap (Single A Side April 1957)
My old man was far too old to rock'n'roll. When Elvis hit in 1956, he was already 23 years old completing his National Service. Fully indoctrinated into the trad, establishment values of the day, the concept of the teenager was way beyond him. Lonnie Donegan was far less threatening than the new American rock'n'roll hoodlums therefore far more appealing. And my old man sure loved a bit of Lonnie.
02 Jet Harris / Besame Mucho (Single A Side May 1962)
'Besame Mucho' was typical of the strange little 45's I used to find in my Dad's singles rack. Sacked by The Shadows for his numerous bouts of drinking, Jet Harris may have been a good looking, highly skilled bassist but he was also an opinionated, awkward bastard who refused to play the game. In an age when individuality was frowned upon and Hank Marvin's gimp grin and glasses ruled the roost, he never stood a chance.
03 Jerry Lee Lewis / Green Green Grass Of Home (Country Songs For City Folks LP November 1965)
Tom Jones nicked ol' Jerry Lee's arrangement for 'Green Green Grass Of Home' wholesale, transforming it into a huge global smash everyone, including me, assumed was about the green, green grass of Wales. It wasn't until years later that I realised it was a Nashville country classic about a prisoner on the day of his execution. Needless to say, Jerry Lee's version had the gravitas and pathos Tom's schmaltz never could.
04 The Lovin Spoonful / Daydream (Daydream LP March 1966)
My old man used to daydream a lot, often in his legendary horizontal position on the sofa. He always said; 'never stand when you can sit and never sit when you can lie down'. Wise words indeed, particularly in a 21st century where being busy, busy, busy somehow makes your life worthwhile. It's just a shame that usually means busy with bullshit.
05 Bobbie Gentry / I Saw An Angel Die (Ode To Billy Joe LP September 1967)
I was never one of those kids who had a mad fixation on America yet even as a youngster, Bobbie Gentry's songs detailing the mystery and tragedy of everyday life in the Deep South cast their spell over me. My Dad would listen to 'I Saw An Angel Die' completely motionless, barely breathing. I have no idea if it's a song about God, the love of your life or both but I do know that it's a long way from the easy listening Bobby Gentry was often accused of.
06 The Dubliners / Dirty Old Town (Drinkin' And Courtin' LP March 1968)
With a Northern father and Dublin born mother my old man's roots were in British and Irish folk music stretching back to the turn of the century. Despite his tendency to wander off on some strange musical tangents, he'd always return to it at some point. Most of all he loved The Dubliners. In 1987, when The Pogues made them hipper than they ever should have been, his smug 'told you so' expression was a picture.
07 Pentangle / Sweet Child (Sweet Child LP December 1968)
Apart from a few garishly patterned shirts with big collars, 'flower power' passed my Dad by. Slap bang in the middle of his 30's my mother would have been more worried if it hadn't. The nearest he got to the Age of Aquarius were the progressive, psychedelic tinges Bert Jansch and John Renbourn added to songs like 'Sweet Child' on Pentangles sprawling half live, half studio double album of the same name.
08 Steeleye Span / Lowlands Of Holland (Hark! The Village Wait LP June 1970)
In the early 70's it wasn't just the music in my Dads record collection I found so fascinating. The long gone yet beguiling England depicted on Hark! The Village Wait's inner sleeve gave me just as much pleasure as the songs within. Once described as 'time traveler's stalking the deserted streets of a medieval village', Steeleye Span were a step back from the experimentation of Pentangle and one my old man appreciated a lot more.
09 B.B. King / Summer In The City (Guess Who LP August 1972)
I have no idea how this found its way into my Dad's racks. He was never a blues fan so a random, obscure, strictly for devotees LP by a blues legend was definitely an odd one even for him. Maybe he bought it for the undeniably great version of 'Summer In The City', originally by his old favourites The Lovin' Spoonful. Whatever the reason, I used to play it a lot.
10 Charlie Rich / I Feel Like Going Home (Single B Side September 1973)
As my own record collection began to increase I became less and less interested in my Dad's. An insurmountable generation gap had kicked in that would lead me into all kinds of mischief he didn't approve of. Thankfully, unlike my mother he refused to judge. An island of calm in the tumultuous times that followed, 'I Feel Like Going Home' encapsulates my feelings towards him in those teenage years when no matter what I'd been up to he'd greet me with open arms, unconditional love and a bacon sarnie.

Numeric literals are frequently used. They represent a number that your program will need to work with. Most of the time you will use numbers in base ten-the base that everyone uses. However, Perl will also let you use base 8 (octal) or base 16 (hexadecimal).
Note: For those of you who are not familiar with non-decimal numbering systems, here is a short explanation. In decimal notation-or base ten- when you see the value 15 it signifies (1 * 10) + 5 or 1510. The subscript indicates which base is being used.
In octal notation-or base eight-when you see the value 15 it signifies (1 * 8) + 5 or 1310.
In hexadecimal notation-or base 16-when you see the value 15 it signifies (1 * 16) + 5 or 2110. Base 16 needs an extra six characters in addition to 0 to 9 so that each position can have a total of 16 values. The letters A-F are used to represent 10-15.
So the value BD16 is equal to (B16 * 16) + D16 or (1110 * 16) + 1310 which is 18910.
If you will be using very large or very small numbers, you might also find scientific notation to be of use. Scientific notation looks like 10.23E+4, which is equivalent to 102,300. You can also represent small numbers if you use a negative sign. For example, 10.23E-4 is .001023. Simply move the decimal point to the right if the exponent is positive and to the left if the exponent is negative.

The Sympathetic Spy Downstairs
By Alexandra Schwartz
"The Sympathetic Spy Downstairs," by Alexandra Schwartz.
Here's a thought experiment for those of us who live in cities and spend far too much mental energy on our neighbors: Let's say that an apartment is opening up in your building, one floor below yours, and by some miraculous breach of the urban space-time continuum, you're allowed to pick the new tenant. But, because your city's new mayor wants to establish some liberal cred and distinguish himself from the market-driven ruthlessness of his predecessor's real-estate policies, a new law stipulates that the apartment be set aside for an artist: a dancer, a musician, a painter, a fashion designer, an actor, or a writer. You're all for supporting creativity, but you're also for your own peace and quiet. The dancer is out, as is a musician of any kind. A painter might be nice, but what if his work consists of shooting paint cans, like William Burroughs, or he has noisy affairs with his models? The designer might cast sideways glances at your Birkenstocks when you cross paths by the mailboxes. Actors like to practice their lines in the mirror, plus there's the risk of Method shenanigans.
So you choose the writer and go about your business, blissfully unbothered. Some days pass, without a sound. Then the letters start coming. They are winsome and solicitous and erudite, but they have a consistent, definite point. "Madame," they begin. "I hope you won't find me too indiscreet. There's been a lot of noise these past few days and as I'm not well, I'm more sensitive to it." "If the hammering must be done in the morning, might it be done in the part of your apartment that is above my kitchen, not my bedroom." "If there's too much noise on Sunday morning I won't be able to get out of bed until the afternoon." The problem in the building isn't him. The problem is you.
In the London Review of Books a few weeks ago, Michael Wood brought to the attention of the English-speaking world "Lettres à sa voisine," a book of the recently discovered cache of letters that Marcel Proust sent to his upstairs neighbors at 102 Boulevard Haussmann, where he lived from late 1906 through the spring of 1919. (The book was published in France last fall; New Directions is working on an English translation.) Proust, who lived in his parents' home until after his mother died, when he came into enough money to get his own place, moved into the building when he was thirty-five. His apartment had belonged to his great-uncle; as Edmund White notes in his biography of the writer, he had inherited a quarter of the building but foolishly let his aunt buy out his share, leaving him a renter. Proust had once been a man about town, but by the time he moved to Boulevard Haussmann his terrible asthma kept him inside. He worked in his bedroom, which he eventually soundproofed with squares of cork, and kept the windows closed and the curtains drawn to keep out the dust and hubbub of the avenue below. Still, these measures weren't sufficient to block the intrusions of Charles Williams, an American dentist who kept his office on the third floor, directly above Proust's apartment, and Marie Williams, who lived with her husband and son upstairs.
It seems almost too perfect that Proust, the bedridden invalid, would have sent notes upstairs, sometimes by messenger, sometimes through the post, to implore the Williamses to nail shut the crates containing their summer luggage in the evening, rather than in the morning, so that they could be better timed around his asthma attacks. (Is there a trove somewhere of Baudelaire's letters to his pharmacist, begging for a remedy for absinthe hangovers?) But such is life in the city: things outside force their way in. As I'm writing this, the kid upstairs is practicing his jump shot, and I can tell you what time he leaves for school in the morning, and what his mother yells at him to get him out the door. I know that the little dog downstairs gets walked at nine in the morning and at midnight. When the guy in the next building over pulls out his electric guitar, the vibrations shake my bed.
This stuff can drive you to insanity, and often does, but Proust's letters to the Williamses are full of wit and playful decorum, inspired by the necessity of nagging yet hardly disgruntled in tone or spirit. Practical requests are folded in with winning pleasantries. The word "noise" appears often, though so does the word charmant, as in, "Alas on coming home in the grip of the most violent attack I find your charming letter," or "If your charming son, innocent of the noise that martyrizes me, is nearby, please give him my best wishes." Proust doesn't date his letters (the editors give approximations), but he does note, pointedly, that he's writing at one in the morning. He sends up little gifts to apologize for making so many demands: "I hope that you will accept these four pheasants with the same ease with which I offer them to you as a neighbor." This graceful flourish, accompanied by some articles of his that he hopes M. Williams might find interesting, is followed by a new demand: Could the next round of hammering happen the day after tomorrow after seven in the evening, because if it goes on in the morning there's no chance of getting any rest during the day and going out will be impossible?
It was Marie, as the book's title indicates, with whom Proust carried on the bulk of the correspondence; twenty-three of the twenty-six letters in the volume are addressed to her. Spread out from 1908 to 1916, this doesn't seem like all that many, though maybe the two had other ways of communicating. Proust kept a telephone in his bedroom until the First World War broke out, and had a separate contraption called a théâtrophone that allowed him to listen to live concerts through the receiver. Marie played the harp; did he sometimes call her up when insomnia struck to ask her to hold the receiver in her lap as she gently plucked the strings?
There is a warmth and affection, plus a sprinkling of flirtatious flattery, in Proust's letters to Marie, and, it seems, in her letters to him, though we have only his half of the exchange. The noise almost seems like an excuse to drop her a line. He writes to her of his work—La Nouvelle Revue Française was publishing extracts of "In Search of Lost Time," which he sent her—and of her music. In a letter that the editors of the collection have dated to March 1915, he tells her that his close friend Bertrand de Fénelon has been killed in combat. Marie's brother, too, has just died. "I didn't think that God could add to my pain, when I learned of yours," Proust writes. "And I've so fallen into the habit, without knowing you, of sympathizing with your sorrows and your joys, through the partition where I feel you invisible and present, that the news of the death of Monsieur your brother has deeply distressed me." This subtle crossing of partitions, physical and mental, this delicate art of sympathetic spying, is vital to any novelist's work. Certainly it is vital to Proust's, and his condolence note is also a kind of confession. Proust is telling Marie that, during their eight years of living next to one another, she has come to occupy real space in his imagination. That is where he knows her best.
Anyone who lives cheek by jowl with relative strangers is familiar with this compulsive imagining, though it rarely takes such a sympathetic cast. I lie awake late at night, listening to the scratchings and bumps rattling the floorboards over my head, and think, along with Tom Waits, What's he building in there? We want the neighbors to shut up, or at least for some benevolent aliens to beam them away and leave us to get a good night's sleep. But on they go, making their mysterious noises. Lydia Davis has a story, called "Mildred and the Oboe," that begins: "Last night Mildred, my neighbor on the floor below, masturbated with an oboe." The narrator of the story is lying in bed with a book, listening, in spite of herself, to Mildred's performance, and wondering what it is. "I could feel her pleasure pass up through the floorboards into my room. Of course there might have been another explanation for what I heard. Perhaps it was not the oboe but the player of the oboe who was penetrating Mildred. Or perhaps Mildred was striking her small nervous dog with something slim and musical, like an oboe." But then, what are our neighbors thinking about us? Charles Kinbote, the narrator of "Pale Fire" and one of the creepiest neighbors in literature, inadvertently puts it best: "Later in life we learn that we are those 'others.' "
Escape from the city is one possibility. In Philip Roth's "Zuckerman Unbound," Zuckerman, rocketed to fame and fortune by a book that looks a lot like "Portnoy's Complaint," is set upon by anyone and everyone in New York—on the bus, in a coffee shop, in front of a funeral parlor. They come to ogle him, or to complain about his scandalous, sex-ridden novel, or to tell him what to do with his money. "I am only a neighbor," one says. "It's not my affair. Never mind." Falser words were never spoken. Some novels later, Zuckerman ends up leaving the big city for the monastic peace of the Berkshires, though not before falling in love, in "The Counterlife," with Maria Freshfield, the woman who lives with her husband and little daughter in the apartment upstairs from his.
In an essay on Saul Bellow, from 2000, Roth wonders if, at the outset of his career, "Bellow shied away from seizing Chicago as his because he didn't want to be known as a Chicago writer, any more, perhaps, than he wanted to be known as a Jewish writer." Someone like Bellow probably had other ambitions, Roth writes, "inspired by your European masters, by Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Proust, Kafka, and such ambitions don't include writing about the neighbors gabbing on the back porch."
Maybe not—then again, maybe so. Proust, we now realize, was, along with everything else, a neighbor, too. We who toss and turn, fantasizing about the exquisitely cutting emails we'll never have the guts to send to the invisible others keeping us awake, are happy to have him on our team.

Q: Create a list consisting of those integers that appear in both lists Problem statement:

Design an algorithm that, given two lists of integers, creates a list
  consisting of those integers that appear in both lists (each integer
  on the final list should appear only once). Describe your algorithm in
  terms of a pseudocode focusing on main algorithmic tasks and not on
  low-level details. Analyze the running time of your algorithm. You
  will get full credit only if your algorithm achieves an asymptotically
  better worst-case performance than Θ(n^2), where n is the sum of the
  lengths of the two input lists

Can someone explain to me what this question is actually asking me to do?
My attempt:
I was under the impression that this question was telling me to make a algorithm that has two lists, idk, so maybe two arrays, one A, one B, where those arrays would be filled with numbers and I would take both of those lists and essentially put them together? I used MergeSort to sort them (which now I think may not be necesarry) then I used Merge to put the two lists actually together.
Question:
I am being told that is wrong. I'm thinking I must be misinterpeting the question. I also used merge sort because its O(nlogn).
What is the problem with my answer, what am I missing?

A: The question asks you to find the intersection set of the two lists, or in other words - a list that contains only the elements that appear both in A and in B (but not elements that appear only in one of them).
It seems your algorithm is just combining the lists, and thus includes elements that appear only in one list.
There are several ways to do it:

*

*Sort both lists, then iterate in parallel

*Insert one list to hash table, then iterate the 2nd and print elements in the hash table (remember to remove elements found to avoid printing elements twice)

*Same approach as (2), but uses a Tree-Set instead, to ensure O(nlogn) worst case.

I deliberately left the implementation details vague, so you can solve this assignment on your own.
Good luck!

Pointless or Prophetic - is Apple Pay a Sign of the Times?
Posted by Andrew Fisher on October 8th, 2014
A couple of years ago, with the holiday season rapidly approaching, my mother generously asked me if there was anything I wanted for Christmas. As it turned out my wife and I were just getting into board games as a hobby, but not wanting my mom to bother wandering into a Manhattan board game specialty store I just told her I'd give her the names of a few games we were interested in that I knew she could find on Amazon. She surprised me with her response - that she wasn't going to be able to get me those games because she didn't feel comfortable shopping online.
My mother is the first to admit that she's not the most tech-savvy person around, but I was still shocked that she wouldn't order anything from Amazon, and further shocked that she had never bought anything online. When I asked why, both she and my father explained that they simply didn't trust the technology and that it made them uncomfortable.
I guess the reason I found it difficult to accept is because online transactions have represented the majority of my expenses for years. So the idea that people who are otherwise modern, educated, competent folks wouldn't trust something as universal as online shopping - their instinctive distrust - seemed downright silly to me as someone who is, by upbringing and profession, constantly exposed to the world of social media, online commerce, and internet connectivity.
Which is why I had to stop and scold myself when I saw Apple Pay and immediately shook my head in disapproval.
Sure, there are security features in place. Sure, your credit info isn't technically stored on the device. And sure, what is locally kept is locked behind a biometric defense system, can be disabled remotely, and probably has a dozen other security protocols I'm unaware of. Still, my gut reaction to the idea of using my phone to pay for things was instantaneous distrust - and that's ridiculous.
Whether you're an adherent to the Cult of Apple, just think their products are cool, or even if you have no intention of buying Apple's newest miracle device, the fact is that this idea of a unified way of managing your credit, integrated into your mobile electronics, is a very likely technological progression. Of course security will always be an issue, but is there really any difference in using my computer to order something from an online retailer via my credit card or tapping my iPhone against a sensor to initiate the exact same kind of transaction in person? The bottom line is that (semantics aside) there isn't, and I doubt very much that this feature will remain exclusive to the iPhone for long.
I also doubt I'm the only one who looked at Apple Pay and scoffed. But I think that, like my parents not trusting the idea of internet commerce, it's just a product of technological inertia. No, I'm not one of the folks who ran out to get an iPhone 6 Plus on day 1, but I won't be one of the naysayers who resists the direction this new tech is taking us simply because 'it's different and that makes me nervous.'
Rest in Peace My Beloved iPod Touch, the iPhone Minus The Phone
Posted by Ellis Spice on October 3rd, 2014
I'm an iPod Touch owner, and I think it may be time for me to admit that my device's time is almost up. But firstly, a little bit of back story for you:
My first iOS device was a 2nd generation iPod Touch, which is long ago enough for it to not have had a camera or microphone. My second iOS device was a 4th generation iPod Touch, with my current device being a 5th generation device. Putting it bluntly, I'm a fan of the iPod Touch.
To me, the iPod Touch was Apple's accidental handheld console. Sure you can purely use it as an iPod with a camera if you so wish, but to someone like me, it was (and still is) my gateway into iOS gaming at a much cheaper cost than an iPhone - one that also just happened to fit into my pocket. The fact that I could access the wide variety of iOS games through a relatively cheap device (compared to other iOS devices, anyway) is the reason I'm here today, on a site devoted to iOS apps.
Once upon a time the release of an iPod Touch was a yearly thing, with the tech in the device just below that found in that year's iPhone. The 4th and 5th seemingly started the pattern of a new device every two years, meaning this year should've bought on the release of the 6th generation. The September 9 iPhone 6 announcement event has long since come and gone however, and the world is seemingly nowhere nearer to seeing a six next to the iPod Touch name.
If you sit down and think about it though, in this day and age the iPod Touch is an unusual thing. It's the size of the phone and does almost everything you'd expect from a modern phone besides be a phone: it has a touch screen, two cameras, a microphone, and the ability to run apps. To be fair, that's also everything the average person would likely expect from a modern tablet as well. And therein lies the rub.
I can understand why Apple seems to be no longer supporting it. In the past year, the hardware giant released four iOS devices - the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, and the 2nd generation iPad Mini. Four devices, all varying in price and size, and each with their own niche to cater to. Within those devices, there's something there for pretty much everyone. You want a phone-sized device to play your iOS games on? Fine, go get an expensive contract and get an iPhone. You want a device devoted to running apps? Fine, go get an iPad or iPad Mini with their bigger screens and better resolutions. You want both? Before, the answer to that question was the iPod Touch. Now, I think Apple would much rather you gave them more money and bought an iPhone and an iPad.
This time next year, we'll likely see the release of iOS 9 and the end of support for the generation of devices that used the A5 chip - including the 5th generation iPod Touch. As much as I hope Apple will announce a new iPod Touch next year, part of me knows that the brand is effectively a dead parrot at this point. And as much as I want to nail it to a perch, it's already pushing up the daises and has joined the choir invisible.
So, farewell iPod Touch. The iPhone minus the phone. The iPad Mini but even smaller. The accidental handheld console. You will be missed.
It Came From Canada - Philippines Edition: Vainglory
Posted by Jordan Minor on September 29th, 2014
I'm going to be straight you with folks. I don't know much about MOBAs, and I'm certainly no professional. That means I don't know how well Vainglory, the upcoming multiplayer online battle arena showcased in the most recent Apple keynote, compares to titans like League of Legends or DotA 2 in terms of depth and control. However, in this edition of It Came From Canada - Philippines Edition, what I can say is that it certainly has the ambition to be king of the mobile MOBAs.
Even to someone like me, the specifics of this gigantic genre have become pretty well-known by now. Two teams, in this case with three members each, attempt to destroy their opponents' home base by making it through lanes full of powerful turrets and endless waves of disposable grunt soldiers. Players choose from a handful of heroes with their own personalities and moves to master - like the sadistic sword wielder Catherine, rambunctious catgirl Koshka, and shambling Monty Python-quoting zombie warrior Krul. Fast melee-focused characters obviously require different strategies compared to slow spellcasters, and forming those plans is where much of the tactical depth comes from.
Fortunately, the game is very accommodating to newcomers. The extensive tutorial goes over basics like what to buy at the shop and why it's important to not die and give your foes a bonus. It also familiarizes players with the single map and important sites to capture like special monsters that strengthen minions once defeated. It's a lot to take in, from knowing when to hide in the bushes to the concept of "the jungle," and that's before it even gets to character-specific traits. But since this is all the game is, it's good that there's a lot to it. Players can also practice at any time and discover how surprisingly nuanced the touch controls are - letting them set waypoints, launch strings of attacks, and tell heroes what spots to avoid.
Vainglory also just looks fantastic thanks to the new "Metal" iOS 8 API. Yeah, the art style still betrays the fact that this entire sub-genre descends from a mod of a Blizzard game, but the details, effects, animations, and smoothness of play actually do resemble a higher-end PC release from a developer of that caliber. Along with giving players new options to explore, unlocking characters from the marketplace also provides something new and pleasant to look at for a match.
Since Vainglory isn't out in most territories yet, so finding a match was a little difficult. Although once it fully launches soon, that shouldn't be a problem. Again, I'm not the one who can tell if it will succeed in the highly profitable but contentious MOBA space, but it's definitely an impressive attempt.

Breaking Up With My iPhone 4S -or- Surfing the Back Edge of the Tech Wave
Posted by Rob Thomas on September 26th, 2014
I still own an iPhone 4S, and the arrival of iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6 line pains me.
First off, I should explain that I'm not some half-committed neo-Luddite with a knee-jerk fear of new technology. I actually picked up my iPhone 4S on the day it launched - it was shiny, new, and top of the line. It was like basking in the glow of a new relationship, where everything is perfect and you're so in love. Then, a few months later and through no fault of my own, the person whose family plan I was a part of flaked out and I found myself bereft of service and unable to afford the deposit required to spin my old number off to its own line. My still-relatively young significant other then began its new life as an extra beefy iPod Touch.

I was phoneless for the next couple of years, then eventually acquired a prepaid on a different carrier because it was both cheaper and I wouldn't be locked to a contract. After enduring months of terrible service (including not being able to get a signal at home, within almost-literal spitting distance of the second-largest city in the state's downtown area) I finally found out that not only did my old carrier offer prepaid service, but they had just recently allowed the iPhone 4S to be activated on it. I was elated. I could have my phone back again!
But our rekindled romance was short-lived. Once the thrill of having a signal anywhere I went wore off, I immediately began to feel the immense weight of my three years away.
In the interim, Apple had launched and fully iterated the iPhone 5 and and was gearing up to move along to the impending iPhone 6 and the concurrent launch of iOS 8. As I worked my way back into the world of iOS devices, I began to feel increasingly like a relic from a bygone age. Most new apps were not only optimized for iPhone 5 and up, but an increasing number just flat-out wouldn't run on my old hardware at all. And with each new iOS update, that hardware - already rapidly spiraling towards obsolescence - ran just a little bit worse. Also, my prepaid plan won't support the 5 series phones at all.
And so, I've begun to eyeball the postpaid world once again.
Now mind you, even if I had the money I wouldn't have been one of those people who obsessively acquires each new phone the second it comes out. I've always believed in getting my money's worth out of a device before moving on. In fact, if I had upgraded a year or so back to, say, a 5s, I could likely be singing a completely different tune at this point. Maybe I wouldn't yet feel that an upgrade was in order. Sadly, that's not the case.
Now, after an arduous process that took several hours the other night, my iPhone 4s groans under the strain of running iOS 8. Some features are nice (the integrated Siri song ID via Shazam, the pull-down text message reply from the lock screen) and work more or less as intended. But beyond that, things chug and sputter along slowly and hiccups, glitches, and freezes are far-too frequent. I know some of this is inevitably the bugs that accompany any initial roll-out of new operating systems, but I would be extremely surprised if a fair chunk of it wasn't due to the fact that I'm running it on a three year old phone that just doesn't have the muscle to properly support it. And if I thought I was being left behind before with the iPhone 5 app optimization, well it's about to get even worse.
And that's to say nothing of the new hardware itself. I got to put my hands on it a few days ago and I was pretty impressed. I feel like the size issue has been overstated by a lot of people. Despite being a pretty big guy I have surprisingly small hands, but even the iPhone 6 Plus didn't feel too gargantuan for me to hold reasonably. And despite the fact that it's an ounce heavier than my 4s, it actually felt lighter. And then there's the fact that the regular iPhone 6 actually is lighter, despite being considerably bigger. The recently reported bending controversy doesn't especially concern me either as I don't wear super-tight pants. And even if I did, I'd most likely normally stash the phone somewhere else, like a jacket pocket or my messenger bag, rather than forcing it uncomfortably into somewhere it would have problems fitting in the first place.
While I loved (and still do love) my 4S, I just feel that our relationship has run its course. We had some laughs together and created some great memories that I will always cherish, but I think it's time that we move on and see other people.
Six Dos and Don'ts for Taking Care of Your New iPhone 6
Posted by Nadia Oxford on September 25th, 2014
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It's the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, both of which hit North America on September 19.
As might be expected by this point, the iPhone 6 is an expensive chunk of technology. You need to talk to it softly, pat it gently, and reassure it as necessary. Here are six tips for taking good care of your new friend.
Also included: Blatant suggestions on what not to do with your phone, regardless of whatever that "fwd: fwd: fwd: READ THIS APPLE FANS!!!" email suggests.
How to Clean your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
Image Source: LifeProof
DO: Use a soft, dry cloth. Like most open-face electronics, the iPhone 6 collects fingerprints as efficiently as a 12-year-old collects Pokemon.
DON'T: Use a scouring pad. Or a rock. Or your cat's fur. Do not spit on your screen and rub it in your shirt. Do not hand your iPhone to your child, for handing anything to a child is the exact opposite of cleaning it.
How to Charge your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
DO: Use the provided Lightning cable. Plug it into a USB port, or use the prong extension to plug it into a wall socket. Proceed to twiddle your thumbs for the next hour or so.
DON'T: Use your microwave. Not unless you want to risk killing yourself in an inexplicable quest to own a stinking, molten chunk of plastic, aluminium, and circuitry. Seriously folks, just because a press release is written in Myriad typeface doesn't mean you should do what it says.
How to carry your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
Image Source: The Mary Sue
DO: Purchase a protective case for your device; preferably an amusing retro tribute that resembles a Game Boy or an NES control pad. Keep your iPhone in a bag or purse pocket that's separate from coins, keys, and gremlins.
DON'T: Stick your iPhone 6 in your back pocket, as aluminum and bum-heat don't mix favorably (the validity of this rumor has yet to be debunked or verified by Snopes, but when is it ever a good idea to keep electronics in your back pocket, anyway? Hint: Never).
How to share your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
DO: Be generous about letting your friends examine your iPhone 6. Understand their need to do so; touching an object is the most primal way of memorizing its texture, shape, and curves. You should probably stop any attempts to sniff or taste the iPhone, however.
DON'T: Hiss and rear back when your friends reach for your iPhone. Or, if you must do so, at least try and prevent your eyes from flashing yellow and constricting into cat-like slits.
ALSO DON'T: Hand your iPhone 6 to your child. We've already discussed why.
How to eat with your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
Image Source: MacSkins
DO: Sit your iPhone up at the table, put a bib on it, and offer it a scone.
DON'T: Smear peanut butter between two phones and take a bite.
How to properly show off your iPhone or 6 Plus
DO: Lift up your phone slowly and carefully while humming the "Sunrise" theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Before presentation, review your position with the Earth's sun so that its rays may catch and glint off the sexy aluminum backing.
DON'T: Drop the bloody thing.

It's Not Enough - Wanting More From the iPhone 6 Announcement
Posted by Jennifer Allen on September 11th, 2014
So, the new iPhones have been announced and we're all excited, right? Well, maybe not entirely. It's a funny thing being a self-confessed fan of a company and its products. While I don't see myself as a blind fan to Apple, over the years I've happily owned 2 iPads, 1 MacBook Pro, and 3 iPhones. I'll no doubt end up with another iPhone at some point soon too, but that hasn't stopped me from feeling a little disappointed by the news of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Much of it, I suspect, is down to wanting something life-changing again. The original iPhone, for me at least, was life-changing. Besides eventually leading me to a position where I'm writing this very article, it felt amazing to own one. The sheer potential of what I could do with it was amazing. I think every new iteration, I want that feeling again. Maybe I just expect too much.
As someone who prefers their phones smaller, I'm at a tricky crossroads. The iPhone 5 is big enough that it's caused a permanent dent in my jeans' pocket. Its camera is good enough that I've taken photos just as the sun is setting and it's still somehow made it look like much earlier in the day. I do want the speed boost, though. I'm impatient. I like things to react as quickly as possible.
The other features? Not so much.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are set to be thinner and offer a better HD display, which is great. It's not a deal-breaker, though. I've got an iPad Mini Retina which covers that, if not quite as well.
Camera wise, things are looking better. At least when it comes to the iPhone 6 Plus' optical image stabilization, which looks fantastic. The iPhone 6's improvements, however, are good but not awe inspiring. I want something I can show off to others and they can immediately see the difference and think 'wow, I want one of those'. It looks like I'll have to go for a bigger phone in the form of the 6 Plus if I want that.
Touch ID and fingerprint technology is great, but much like the contactless payments via Apple Pay, it's not something I can see myself using every day. It's just a nice quirk. A little bit like Passbook.
The biggest delight to come from this for me is the battery life. My iPhone 5 needs charging every night now and was never great two years ago. It'll be good to not be so reliant upon my charger again. Still though, where's the wireless charging? Now that'd feel futuristic and it'd be so practical, too.
It's a tough one to call. Besides better battery life and multi-user support (seriously, where is that? I want to be able to switch to a guest account, hand my phone to my young cousin, and not be worried that they'll dig around in the wrong places), I'll admit I can't list a plethora of things I want to see in my phone - but then I never can. That's why I don't work in research and development. Those exciting changes are what I've enjoyed about new iPhones. Being told a new idea that's made me think "I never thought of that. Awesome, I can't wait."
I'll eagerly buy an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus at some point in the future because I want the speed boost, but I'll be honest: what I really want is something that I can point out to folks and yell "See? See how awesome that is!" and I don't feel like I've got that this time around. Instead, I've got steady but a little bit safe. Is it a matter of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Maybe, but I've still got that itch for revolution rather than evolution.
Redbubble is Now Offering Preorders on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Cases
Posted by Rob Rich on September 10th, 2014
For the unfamiliar, Redbubble is a good place to find great artwork - and then have it slapped on a phone case, T-shirt, pillow, etc. And now it's a good place to find cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
You can preorder your case now, but they won't start shipping until 9/19 to coincide with the iPhone 6 launch. Still, there's a rather gigantic assortment to choose from, with prices varying depending on the individual artist's markup.
And heck, if you can't quite find what you're looking for you can always make your own account and upload your own illustrations and images. That's what I did.
[Editor's Note: I've been uploading my own designs to Redbubble for well over a year now. My portfolio is not the reason I decided to share this news, but I do feel it necessary to let everyone know that I have work posted to the site. - Rob]
Don't Call it an "iWatch" - the Apple Watch has Been Officially Unveiled, and it's Pretty Neat
Posted by Rob Rich on September 9th, 2014
The big reveal has finally happened. Apple has officially made known that they've got a watch/health tracker-thing in the works, and it's called the Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch seems like an interesting combination of iPhone and fitness device. On the fitness side of things, LEDs (visible light and infrared) and photosensors along the back are used to track your pulse and other vitals. An accelerometer is used to track your movement, and GPS and wifi will track your location.
It comes with two fitness apps already installed - Activity and Workout - to help you monitor your activities. Activity seems like a clever (and rather pretty) way of monitoring how much time you spend standing, moving, and exercising throughout the day. Workout, meanwhile, is all about setting goals, tracking progress, earning awards for completing exercises, and generally displaying real-time stats on your workouts.
You'll also be able to use the Apple Watch to monitor your heartbeat, and send the details to friends if you'd like - which totally isn't weird or creepy at all.
The more app-focused side of the Apple Watch is also intriguing. Rather than having you rely on a touch interface (it's still there, of course, just not the only option), Apple has included what they're referring to as a "digital crown." Despite the awkward name, this knob allows users to select apps, scroll through data, and magnify images without having to touch the screen. Seems like it could be mighty handy for a device with such a small screen. Meanwhile the display itself can actually measure force, which could lead to some interesting interface options in the future.
Siri will also be available on the Apple Watch (of course), allowing you to send messages, search for specific locations, etc, just by holding down the crown - much like we already do with the Home button on the iPhone. Then there's WatchKit: a new development kit made specifically for the Apple Watch. Basically there's a lot of potential in this little thing.
Perhaps the coolest feature of the Apple Watch, however, is the way you can customize it. You won't have to pick between a handful of colors and settle for the default look. Instead, you can select from a wide assortment of bands (in several colors) and buckles, and can easily customize the face in much the same way as your iPhone's home screen (i.e. designs, colors, etc).
The only real hurdle is the price: $349. The Apple Watch is definitely a cool piece of tech, and probably well worth the money, but that's a lot to ask for a watch/fitness tracker - even if it is from Apple. Even the iPhone 6 Plus starts at a lower price point ($299)!
The Apple Watch will be available starting early 2015, and will require an iPhone 5/5s/6/6 Plus.
What do you think about the Apple Watch? Will it be a day-one buy, or do you think you'll wait to see what other people think? Are you just not interested? Is it too expensive? Chime in below!
Apple Pay Gives Users New Ways to Throw Their Money at People
Posted by Rob Thomas on September 9th, 2014
Broken livestream be damned, Apple barreled bravely forward with their highly anticipated press conference today in California. One of the biggest announcements to come out of it was the reveal of the new Apple Pay virtual wallet service.
Relying on an NFC chip mounted inside the top edge of both the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Pay will allow consumers to do away with all of the fumbling around with silly, outdated ideas like cards, IDs, and security codes. Working in combination with the Touch ID sensor located in the Home button, Apple Pay will theoretically make the payment methods stored in your stolen phone useless to thieves - unless they get the bright idea to begin lopping off fingers, I suppose. But even if that should be the case, there's no need to cancel your cards on your way to the hospital as payments from the device can be shut off via Find My iPhone. Pretty nice to not have to deal with that whole hassle, I would say.
Apple Pay integrates with Passbook and can import the credit card that users already have on file with iTunes. Using the iPhone's camera, they can also snap pictures of their other cards to add them to the options on file as well, but apparently the credit card number itself is stored on neither the device, nor Apple's servers. Instead, each transaction will be authorized by a one-time use unique transaction number and a dynamic, shifting security code. Let's hope this calms fears of trusting cash to the cloud in the wake of last week's leaked celebrity selfie disaster.
Starting off, Apple Pay will work with all three of the major credit card providers (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover), as well as pretty much all of the major U.S. banks, totaling 83% of the consumer purchase volume. There are also deals in place for a growing number of retailers, restaurants, and other folks who want your money to use Apple Pay as it launches. McDonalds, Panera, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Staples, and more are already involved, with Disney, Chipotle, Sephora, Nordstrom, and others due by the end of the year.
Apple Pay is only available with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and is due to roll out in the U.S. this October, with the rest of the world still to be announced. Provided they can actually suss out the security issues, I have to admit this does sound like a pretty neat idea. A growing number of retailers have NFC readers at their point-of-sale and it certainly beats having to fumble with your ID when that one store decides to ask for it when a dozen others never bother.
What do you think? Are you ready to abandon your actual wallets just yet and trust that your iPhone's battery won't die during a particularly long day out? Let us know how you feel below.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Features and Specs - Stuff you Should Know Before you Preorder
Much to nobody's surprise, Apple has officially announced the iPhone 6. Not just the 6, though. An even fancier (and costlier) model, the iPhone 6 Plus, is also on its way.
So, what's this new iPhone all about?
To start with, it's sleeker than the 5 and 5s. The entire phone is rounded off, with no real corners to speak of. It holds more of a charge - or is at least said to - for a 50% increase in energy efficiency. It's also even thinner, with the iPhone 6 Plus coming in at 7.1mm and the iPhone 6 at 6.9mm - both narrower than the 5s' 7.6mm. In other words, you'll be even more likely to freak out and think your iPhone fell out of your pocket now.
The screen is "ion-strengthened," and uses a new Retina HD display that shows the full sRGB color range. The iPhone 6 has a screen size of 4.7", with a 720p Retina display at a resolution of 1334x750 - and 326 pixels per inch. The iPhone 6 Plus is, naturally, bigger and fancier. It sports a 5.5" screen at 1920x1080, 401 pixels per inch, and uses a 1080p Retina display. Both phones use the new A8 chip, which will result in even faster processing and graphics when compared to the 5s. Couple that with Metal, and it's going to be interesting to see where iOS gaming goes from here.
And how about the service? Apple says the iPhone 6 will have wifi speeds that are significantly faster than the 5s, using 802.11ac. It will also have faster LTE, and supports over 200 LTE carriers. Perhaps most interesting is the addition of wifi calling, which will come in handy for those awkward moments when you lose cell service but still have a wifi connection. Don't laugh, this actually happens to me a lot.
The iSight camera is still alive and well inside the iPhone 6, along with several enhancements. It now utilizes a new sensor (it can judge distance and elevation now), ƒ/2.2 aperture, 1.5µ pixels, and clocks in at 8MP. The new iSight also incorporates Focus Pixels, which are typically found in high-end DSLR cameras. Heck, the thing can even detect when subjects are smiling and blinking while in Burst Mode, and will automatically recommend shots based around that info.
The iPhone 6 will be available in silver, gold, and space gray, and sell for $199 (16GB), $299 (64GB), and $399 (128GB). The iPhone 6 Plus, meanwhile, is available in the same colors and will sell for $299 (16GB), $399 (64GB), and $499 (128GB). Both models' prices include a two-year contract, and both will be available for sale on 9/19 - preorders begin on Friday, 9/12.
So what do you all think? What iPhone 6/Plus features are you most excited about?

David Santiago – Peaceful Resolution – Página 2 – Mediation, Conflict Coaching, Mediação, Formação.
One of the greatest needs when someone is in conflict, or hurting, is to feel heard, to feel that their feelings and views on the situation are validated.
Attentive, patient and active listening, is in my view, one of the most important skills that either a mediator or coach can bring to the table. It comes more naturally to some than to others, but it is a skill that can be acquired, through practise.
Having been a coach and worked with people in hardship situations, I adapted to conflict coaching quite smoothly.
Jane, my first conflict coaching client many years ago, was such a classic, that I often use her as an example. This initial experience showed me the power not only of listening but of conflict coaching.

Q: How to use Digitalocean Spaces Subdomain with CloudFlare FREE SSL? I am using Spaces S3 storage on DigitalOcean. To add a subdomain for my Spaces, an SSL certificate is required to be uploaded. I am trying to use the Cloudflare Free Edge SSL certificate, and forward my requests from my subdomain.company.com to Spaces Endpoint.

A: I was still running into issues with Manoj's solution. Eventually I was able to resolve it. The problem was that the space name must match the custom subdomain exactly, e.g.:
cdn.example.com

A: I've figured it out, this is how it works for me.

*

*Create a DigitalOcean Space with the CDN option selected. The space name must match the fully-qualified subdomain you want to use, e.g. cdn.example.com if you were using that domain.

*Create the desired CNAME for your DO CDN on Cloudflare. For the CNAME record value use the CDN endpoint value provided by DO. Keep the "proxied" toggle on.

*Use Cloudflare Dashboard to create origin server self-signed SSL Cert specifically for the CNAME (Custom domain) created in step 2.

*Use DO Spaces CDN option to add a new subdomain SSL certificate created from Step 3. Add Name, Cert, Key, and your Custom Domain value and Save.

*Done! Cloudflare is now proxying your DO CDN domain, and your files on DO Spaces can be served on a Custom Domain.

Designed for lawyers trained outside of the United States, the course provides an overview of the constitutional principles, history, and governmental structures that shape the U.S. legal system; the constitutional foundations of the U.S. legal system, including the concepts of separation of powers and federalism; the structure of the state and federal court systems and concepts of jurisdiction; the mechanisms by which the law is assessed and applied by the courts; the role of lawyers and the relationship between law and society; and the primary subject areas of 1st year legal study.
Legal Writing & Research
This course introduces students to the concepts of legal analysis and the techniques and strategies for legal research, as well as the requirements and analytical structures for legal writing in the American common law legal system.
A study of foundational concepts in agency, partnership, and corporation law. Topics include choice of business form, entity formation, organization, financing, and dissolution, as well as the rights and responsibilities of, and the allocation of power among, the business entity's owners/shareholders, management, and other stakeholders. The course also covers closely held enterprises, as well as basic issues in corporate finance and federal securities law. Students will be required to complete regular homework exercises and participate in a group exercise (ungraded) over the course of the semester.
A study of the basic principles governing the formation, performance, enforcement, and imposition of contractual obligations, and the role of these principles in the ordering processes of society.
A study of common and statutory criminal law, including origin and purpose; classification of crimes; elements of criminal liability and the development of the law respecting specific crimes; emphasis on the trend toward codification; and the influence of the Model Penal Code, including a study of the circumstances and factors that constitute a defense to, or alter and affect, criminal responsibility.
This course explores the legal regulation of the family and its members. Materials and discussion will address the problems, policies, and laws related to the formation and dissolution of the marital family. Among the topics covered will be premarital controversies; constitutional limitations on entry into marriage; substantive and procedural regulation of marriage; marital rights and responsibilities; marriage equality; divorce; child custody, adoption, and other related topics.
Health care is one of the largest sectors of the economy, and the practice of health law is growing. This course is an introduction to regulatory health law as well as some prominent medical controversies. The course will address selected topics in health law related to issues of quality, access, cost, and choice. Possible topics include: regulation of physicians and health care institutions, confidentiality, informed consent, individual and institutional obligations to provide care, discrimination in access to care, ERISA preemption and regulation, public and private health insurance structures and some of the major statutes that govern them, fraud and abuse, government powers in public health emergencies, genetic discrimination and eugenics, assisted suicide, and human and nonhuman animal experimentation for medical purposes.
This course will introduce students to the concept of intellectual property through the four forms of intellectual property regimes in the United States: copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and patents. The course looks at each of these regimes through a comparative lens, looking at how the purpose and protections are similar and different. This course is designed both for those who are interested in pursuing IP as a career, and those who are looking only for a basic knowledge of the subject. There are no prerequisites, and a scientific background is not required. At the end of the course, students should know the basics for each doctrine, the differences in the subject matter protected, how protection in each regime is established, the scope of the rights afforded, and remedies. Students should also be able to compare and contrast the law, policy, and theories for each type of intellectual property.
This course provides a broad introduction to the nature, sources, and operation of international law. In particular, this course will focus on the following key learning objectives: the sources, foundation and structure of international law; the participants in the international legal system and their respective roles; the application of fundamental principles of international law, including jurisdiction, immunities and state responsibility; the application of international law in the domestic law of nations, particularly in the United States; and key substantive issues, including statehood, human rights, international environmental law; the use of force, international criminal law and the law of armed conflict.

Varecia variegata (Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur)
Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur
A Black and white ruffed lemur, (Varecia variegata variegata).
(IUCN) [1]
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Lemuridae
Genus: Varecia
Species: V. variegata
Varecia variegata
(Kerr, 1792)
The Black and white ruffed lemur Varecia variegata variegata is a large quadrupedal Lemur. In the wild, it is found only on the island of Madagascar.
3 Diet
4 Geographical distribution
The Black and white ruffed lemur is a diurnal Primate that has a head body length of approximately 43 – 57 cm and a tail length of around 60-65 cm[2][3][4]. Weight ranges between approximately 3 and 3.5 kg[4]. Coat color, as the common name suggests, is black and white. [4]. The coat and tail are fluffy and the black and white ruffed lemur has prominent "tuffs" on the ears[4]. There are no size or color differences that distinguish males from females.
Studies show significant variation in group size and territorial behaviour [3][4]. The black and white ruffed lemur moves mostly quadrupedally but is also an adept leaper[4]. It has been noted that this species is possibly the only Primate to build nests exclusively for the birth of young[4].
A black and white ruffed lemur climbing[4].
It is highly frugiverous but also eats seeds, leaves and nectar [3][4].
The black and white ruffed lemur may be found in small areas of tropical moist lowland and montane forests of eastern Madagascar[4].

Carlyle poaches head of international RE from TPG
The Washington D.C.-based firm has bolstered its real estate team by creating a new role for Adam Metz, the former senior advisor to TPG's real estate group.
The Carlyle Group, the Washington D.C.-based global alternative asset manager, has added one more to its already large real estate team with the hire of Adam Metz, the former senior advisor to global private equity giant TPG's real estate team, according to a Carlyle statement.
Metz will fill a newly created role at Carlyle, with the title of managing director and head of international real estate. He will be working with all of Carlyle's non-US real estate platforms, but will be based in the firm's Washington, D.C. office. Metz will take up the role starting in October. Robert Stuckey, managing director, remains head of Carlyle's US real estate division.
Carlyle chairman Daniel A. D'Aniello said: "We are excited to welcome Adam to the team. Real estate is one of the largest asset classes in the world and Adam will lead our efforts to expand the depth and breadth of Carlyle's international footprint."
Prior to his role at TPG, Metz held senior leadership positions at several REITS, including General Growth Properties, and was a co-founding member at wealth management firm Polaris Capital. Altogether, Metz brings 30 years of real estate experience to Carlyle. "This is a remarkable opportunity to further develop and grow Carlyle's international real estate platform," Metz said in the statement. "I look forward to working with the teams to develop new products that capture market opportunities and satisfy investor demand."
Altogether, Carlyle manages $12.3 billion in ten real estate funds and related investment vehicles that invest in a range of real estate assets in Asia, Europe and the United States, and has $180 billion of assets under management across 118 funds and 81 fund of funds vehicles. Most recently, the firm has launched two new real estate vehicles: the Carlyle Asia Real Estate Partners (CAREP) III targeting $750 million, and the US real estate fund Carlyle Realty Partners (CRP) VII, targeting up to $4 billion in commitments, PERE reported earlier.

New Dark Matter Theory Weighs Superheavy Particle
By Charles Q. Choi 17 March 2016
The ring of darkness in the galaxy cluster Cl 0024+17 indicates the presence of dark matter. New research explores the possibility that dark matter is made up of particles that weigh about as much as a human cell.

Dark matter could be made of particles that each weigh almost as much as a human cell and are nearly dense enough to become miniature black holes, new research suggests.
While dark matter is thought to make up five-sixths of all matter in the universe, scientists don't know what this strange stuff is made of. True to its name, dark matter is invisible — it does not emit, reflect or even block light. As a result, dark matter can currently be studied only through its gravitational effects on normal matter. The nature of dark matter is currently one of the greatest mysteries in science.
If dark matter is made of such superheavy particles, astronomers could detect evidence of them in the afterglow of the Big Bang, the authors of a new research study said. [Dark Matter Explained (Infographic)]
Astronomers know more about what dark matter is not than what it actually is. See what scientists know about dark matter in this Space.com infographic. (Image credit: Karl Tate, Space.com Infographics Artist)
Previous dark matter research has mostly ruled out all known ordinary materials as candidates for what makes up this mysterious stuff. Gravitational effects attributed to dark matter include the orbital motions of galaxies: The combined mass of the visible matter in a galaxy, such as stars and gas clouds, cannot account for a galaxy's motion, so an additional, invisible mass must be present. The consensus so far among scientists is that this missing mass is made up of a new species of particles that interact only very weakly with ordinary matter. These new particles would exist outside the Standard Model of particle physics, which is the best current description of the subatomic world.
Some dark matter models suggest that this cosmic substance is made of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, that are thought to be about 100 times the mass of a proton, said study co-author McCullen Sandora, a cosmologist at the University of Southern Denmark. However, despite many searches, researchers have not conclusively detected any WIMPs so far, leaving open the possibility that dark matter particles could be made of something significantly different.
Now Sandora and his colleagues are exploring the upper mass limit of dark matter — that is, they're trying to discover just how massive these individual particles could possibly be, based on what scientists know about them. In this new model, known as Planckian interacting dark matter, each of the weakly interacting particles weighs about 1019 or 10 billion billion times more than a proton, or "about as heavy as a particle can be before it becomes a miniature black hole," Sandora told Space.com.
A particle that is 1019 the mass of a proton weighs about 1 microgram. In comparison, research suggests that a typical human cell weighs about 3.5 micrograms.
The genesis of the idea for these supermassive particles "began with a feeling of despondency that the ongoing efforts to produce or detect WIMPs don't seem to be yielding any promising clues," Sandora said. "We can't rule out the WIMP scenario yet, but with each passing year, it's getting more and more suspect that we haven't been able to achieve this yet. In fact, so far there have been no definitive hints that there is any new physics beyond the Standard Model at any accessible energy scales, so we were driven to think of the ultimate limit to this scenario."
But now the researchers have suggested that if these particles exist, signs of their existence might be detectable in the cosmic microwave background radiation, the afterglow of the Big Bang that created the universe about 13.8 billion years ago.
Currently, the prevailing view in cosmology is that moments after the Big Bang, the universe grew gigantically in size. This enormous growth spurt, called inflation, would have smoothed out the cosmos, explaining why it now looks mostly similar in every direction.
After inflation ended, research suggests that the leftover energy heated the newborn universe during an epoch called "reheating." Sandora and his colleagues suggest that extreme temperatures generated during reheating could have produced large amounts of their superheavy particles, enough to explain dark matter's current gravitational effects on the universe.
However, for this model to work, the heat during reheating would have had to be significantly higher than what is typically assumed in universal models. A hotter reheating would in turn leave a signature in the cosmic microwave background radiation that the next generation of cosmic microwave background experiments could detect. "All this will happen within the next few years hopefully, next decade, max," Sandora said.
If dark matter is made of these superheavy particles, such a discovery would not only shed light on the nature of most of the universe's matter, but also yield insights into the nature of inflation and how it started and stopped — all of which remains highly uncertain, the researchers said.
For example, if dark matter is made of these superheavy particles, that reveals "that inflation happened at a very high energy, which in turn means that it was able to produce not just fluctuations in the temperature of the early universe, but also in space-time itself, in the form of gravitational waves," Sandora said. "Second, it tells us that the energy of inflation had to decay into matter extremely rapidly, because if it had taken too long, the universe would have cooled to the point where it would not have been able to produce any Planckian interacting dark matter particles at all."
Sandora and his colleagues detailed their findings online March 10 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Travellers discover a better way to holiday by getting HomeAway from it all in new ad campaign
Crammed commutes, hollering hotel neighbours, and shuddersome shared spaces – actor and comedian Nick Offerman urges people to "Get HomeAway® from it all" in the holiday rental company's newest television ad campaign.
In a follow-up to HomeAway's CLIO award-winning "It's Your Vacation, Why Share It?" campaign of 2016, the newest creative humorously shows the many reasons why getting away in a HomeAway holiday home far outweighs staying in a hotel or paying to sleep under the same roof as a complete stranger.
"The weight of all that is happening in the world, from politics to our daily routines, has everyone in search of relief. People want to get away from it all, to disconnect and spend time with loved ones," said Mariano Dima, HomeAway chief marketing officer. "Holiday rentals are the ultimate solution because they offer the space and privacy that other accommodations just can't provide, so we created this campaign to show everyone how much better renting a whole home can be."
The new advertisements highlight why travellers should stay in a holiday rental by showing unsavoury characters and awkward circumstances in hotels and sharing economy accommodations, contrasted with a serene holiday home and time spent with loved ones. In his role as narrator, Offerman captivates viewers with a catchy rhyme, "Get away, get HomeAway, from work and rules and hosts that wanna hang. A whole home, so far away. You've got all this room to roam, it's better than my house at home."
Directed by Tom Kuntz, a multi-award winning director known for his Old Spice commercial, "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like," the ad airs across Europe and the U.S. on television and online and will be presented in 120, 60, 30, 20 and 15 second formats.
"We are proud to help grow holiday rentals from an alternative way to stay to a preferred one, but there are still millions of travellers who have not yet discovered the benefits of staying in a whole home. We aim to change that," said Steve Stamstad, HomeAway vice president of global brand marketing. "This is our most aggressive marketing effort to date, as we strive to grow awareness of HomeAway and drive more travellers to book with us."
Andy Jex, executive creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi London, added, "We thought we'd heard all the reasons there are to get away from it all, then 2016 turned up and dealt us a whole load more. With HomeAway you get the whole house so we thought we'd go the whole hog, with an all-singing-extravaganza-ode to getting HomeAway from it all. It just felt right."
The campaign was developed by HomeAway in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi London, and filmed in New Zealand with Blue 449 handling the media planning and buying. The ads will on TV on ITV, C4 and Sky in the UK, as well as in France, Germany and the US. There will also be a social media campaign using 20 and 15 second cut-downs, which will be promoted across online channels including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
"Renting the whole home is the perfect way for families and groups to reconnect without having to share those special moments with strangers, and with more than one million online bookable properties HomeAway offers the best way to get away from it all," added Stamstad.

I'm Lawrence Winnerman. I have always been interested in healing, the mind, and what we call "alternative" medicine. Twenty years ago, while studying acupuncture and herbal medicine, I got lured away by the internet boom. I spent the better part of the last two decades building a great career in tech – but it wasn't enough. My heart needed the satisfaction of helping people in a tangible way. After finding personal help with hypnosis, I knew what I had to do. I took a leap of faith, got my training and certification, and haven't looked back. I have helped clients from all walks of life deal with a wide variety of issues – from anxiety & depression, to life purpose, to letting go of the past, to dropping unwanted pounds and habits.
Twin Pines Hypnotherapy is named after the two twin pine trees in front of my house, that remind me of the beauty, majesty, and power of nature. There is a wonderful quote from John Muir: "Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life." He was speaking about the natural world, but I believe it applies to our mental and emotional worlds as well. Hypnosis is a proven way to get results in your own life. Twin Pines Hypnotherapy is a door through which you can walk into a new way of life.
