Koei Tecmo Announces Game Line-up For TGS 2016
Toukiden 2, Nioh & Berserk lead the charge
Trent Saunders
Koei Tecmo has announced the on-site games line-up for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. From the 15th until the 18th of September, Koei Tecmo Games will be exhibiting an exciting and robust line up in Tokyo, complete with hands-on demos, game presentations, and brand new trailers! This will include a number of titles already confirmed for western release, as well as previously unannounced titles that will reach the west within 2017.
Berserk (working title)
Omega Force's interactive entertainment adaptation of one of the most brutal and unrelenting anime and manga titles will be available to visitors for a hands-on demo for the first time! Slated for release on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and digitally for the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam®, the game will closely follow the events of the most well-known story arcs from the iconic manga's narrative, focusing on the daring and heroic life of Guts as he cuts his way through a sinister realm of magical and demonic fiends. Berserk fuses the signature 'one versus thousands' style action of the long-running Warriors franchise with the grim and gruesome atmosphere of the world of Berserk. As players harness the power of Guts' Great Sword and utilise the swift and agile swordplay of Griffith to slash and smash through hordes of enemies, players familiar with the Warriors series will be able to feel the difference in gameplay through the way each character handles combat. The game will also incorporate various battle mechanics to better bring the world of Berserk to life, such as Magic and Transformations.
Coming strong from a successful second Beta demo, Team Ninja's dark fantasy, Action RPG title will be available for hands on at the Koei Tecmo booth, featuring new content, including a brand new stage, set to challenge even the most adept players! Blending a compelling narrative loosely based on the tale of the first western samurai, William Adams, with a myriad of strange supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore (Yokai), players of Nioh will discover a diverse and comprehensive world dripping with history and lore, and face off against other samurai in epic sword battles. Nioh is guaranteed to challenge players in a way that makes every mission feel earned and their accomplishments worthwhile. Nioh is in development exclusively for the PS4.
TOUKIDEN 2
Koei Tecmo is pleased to announce the return of the popular demon hunting RPG title 'Toukiden', with the western release of its second installment in early 2017. Taking Oni-hunting to a brand new level, Toukiden 2 introduces an open-world environment filled with strange life forms, empty ruins, unexplored caves, and fearsome Oni.
Players will be called to take the mantle of a Slayer, charged with the task of defending humanity's last remaining villages from the supernatural threat of Oni. Taking all types of shapes and sizes, these demons creep out of dark rifts in space and time and prey on mankind. Warriors from the ancient secret cast of the Slayers are the only ones equipped to stop them! Platforms, release date and further information on the western release of this title will be available in the following weeks.
ATELIER FIRIS: THE ALCHEMIST AND THE MYSTERIOUS JOURNEY
Gust continues its trademark 'Atelier' series with the follow-up to 'Atelier Sophie: the Alchemist and the Mysterious Book'. The second part of the 'Mysterious' trilogy, Atelier Firis, follows the journey of a young alchemist through an exciting and colourful world. While Firis travels, she learns more about synthesis and alchemy, meets interesting people, and amplifies the feeling of exploration with the immense expansion of the world map!
Atelier Firis: the Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey will be playable during Tokyo Games Show on PlayStation 4. More details on the titles will be revealed in the following weeks. To stay informed with future announcements please like us on www.facebook.com/ateliergames and follow us on twitter @koeitecmoeurope.
NIGHTS OF AZURE 2 (working title)
Following the success of the of 'Nights of Azure', which marked a darker direction for GUST, producer Keisuke Kikuchi returns to the demon-plagued world where players will follow the story of a young girl knight born from the blood of Arnice, the main character of 'Nights of Azure'.
Nights of Azure 2 (working title) maintains the same JRPG gameplay elements adored by dedicated fans of the studio and expands this new franchise's horizons with a riveting new storyline! This title will be on display in the Koei Tecmo booth at TGS.
SAMURAI WARRIORS: Sanada Maru (working title)
Omega Force is proud to announce the upcoming western release of a one-versus-thousand tactical action title focused on one of Samurai Warriors' favourite characters: Yukimura Sanada. In this character driven epic, players will get a unique look into the Sanada clan's inner workings before and during the 16th century conflict that drove two brothers to join opposite sides of a grand scale civil war.

A friend wanted to celebrate his birthday at Hangawi, a Korean vegan restaurant on 32nd Street. Leaving our shoes at the entrance, we walked along a narrow corridor filled with rustic charm to our table. The menu's descriptions are mouth watering. We shared the silky tofu, leek pancakes, spicy baby dumplings, all presented in beautiful containers. A member of the agile staff knelt beside us and explained different dishes. We toasted each other with a cocktail called Mindfulness. It's freshly squeezed orange juice, citron paste and makgeolli, a Korean milky rice wine.
The Frick Concert: Forma Antiqua. transported us back to seventeenth century Spain. The extraordinary musicians Pablo Zapico (baroque guitar), Daniel Zapico (theorbo), and Aaron Zapico (harpsicord ) were joined by Carlos Mesa the countertenor. The music complimented the current Zurbaran exhibit, Jacob and His Twelve Sons.
A friend and I went to an open rehearsal at The Joyce Theater. Brian Brooks Dance is currently performing. The choreographer, Brian Brooks, explained the setting and the music created by Jerome Begin. After the rehearsal, Brooks and Begin talked about the post modern NYC vibe of the various pieces. Brooks explained that he finds beauty in the natural and enjoys playing with the ordinary. Is there a bad seat in the house? If there is, I've never sat in it.
The Frick Sunday concert featured Julius Berger, cello and Christoph Hammer, piano. They played four chorale preludes by Johann Sebastian Bach, fine examples of German protestant liturgy. We were also teated to Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 5 in D Major. A very heady evening.
Bloody but unbowed! My beloved blog was down for a few days but with the help of a great computer guy, GoDaddy and $, it's up and running.
The Van Kuijk Quartet was founded in 2012. In its N. Y. debut, the quartet delighted the Frick Music Room audience with three 20th century works and one eighteenth century work. We were treated to Mozart's Quartet no. 19 in C Major, Janacek's Kreutzer Sonata and Ravel's Strong Quartet in F Major. For an encore, the quartet performed a Poulenc waltz. The Frick mails the concert tickets for each concert and includes a little art appreciation comparing Frick art with the featured music. The Great Bustard, a porcelain animal molded at the Meissen factory in 1732, was featured for this concert. It was to have been part of a menagerie of life-size animals for Augustus II.
A friend and I circled around the BAM area in search of Prospect Restaurant at 773 Fulton. Unlike in Manhattan, where the even numbers correspond with the odd numbers across the street, the numbers on one side of Fulton do not correspond with the numbers across the way. Put it down to Brooklyn whimsy. Prospect was delightful and efficient. A staff member had called me earlier to confirm the reservation and had asked if we were going to the theater. She promised and delivered that they would have us done and dusted by 7:15 so we could make the David Sedaris show.
David Sedaris and two advance men gave a full two hours of often amusing anecdotes to a packed house. Theft By Finding, his new book, was piled high in the Peter Jay Sharp lobby all ready to be sold and signed. Scatology: the biologically oriented study of excrement. I have included this definition because, unfortunately, it was one of Sedaris's main topics.
I was listening to a BBC essay about the Bronte Sisters love of music and this illustration popped up. Feel free to frame it.
The 11 Stages of Womanhood. Feel free to frame this.
Staff Day at the Frick. Would you like to make your own medal? Learn how to decorate leather books? Listen to a talk about Du Paquier Porcelain? Plant a container? Visit the I am not who you think I am staff exhibit? These were among the choices available to staff and volunteers at the annual Frick Staff Day. Walking around the empty galleries and sharing the delicious lunch is a wonderful way to appreciate this wonderful Collection.
Friends and I went to a Wave Hill Wednesday. It's a glorious location, overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. We had a picnic and accompaniment by a very jazzy Latino band. The variety of botanical specimens is impressive. You can stroll through a variety of tropical and annual plants, diminutive rock gardens and water gardens. Choose a sunny path or tree-lined walk to enjoy views of the Hudson at sunset.
Hasn't it been a rocky week? How many conversations have begin with I don't want to talk about the election and then you talk about it ad nauseam.
From my limited Italian I recall that caca is Italian for poop.
Friends and I attended the second session of Studio 5. It focused on The Creative Forces Behind the Nederlands Dans Theater.
To the Guggenheim. It's one of my favorite museums. Most people take the elevator to the top floor and then walk down. I prefer to walk both ways. There isn't a bad view in the place. The Moholy-Nagy exhibit was a beautifully mounted exhibit. The artist experimented with the innovative materials of the early twentieth century such as plastic. Alice Martin is the current show. At first I thought my lousy eyesight was kicking in. We walked closer to the blank canvases and I finally got it. It's painting composed of grids and stripes. For me it was like a textile show. That's one of the joys of the Guggenheim. There's always the unexpected.
From there we trotted ten blocks south to the Met. The Met has nerve. The exhibit, Valentin de Boulogne, was presented as Beyond Caravaggio. A more apt name would have been Way Behind Caravaggio. The Jerusalem exhibit was very moving. Wandering among the mounted artifacts of the many cultures that have passed through and being surrounded by the evocative photography of this ancient crossroads is moving and frightening.
To my shame, I almost skipped the Pierre Gouthière: Virtuoso Gilder at the French Court at the Frick Collection. I didn't. It's wonderful. If you want a full rush of what the eighteenth century French privileged classes were buying, often without paying, from superb craftsmen and artists run do not walk to the exhibition. Keep in mind that Gouthière who handled gold all his working life died in poverty.


Once developed, the photoresist that has been exposed to light in the action spectrum either remains or is washed away leaving a pattern that can then be used for further processing such as chemical etching, engraving, or lithography.
Photoresist is extensively used in the printed circuit board industry where the patterns created by its use layout the circuit connections or traces of printed circuit boards through the use of etching chemicals.
Another heavy user of photoresist is the semiconductor industry, where it is a crucial step in the photolithographic production of micro-patterns that are used to form the tiny circuits of individual semiconductor devices.
Photoresists have also found use in Biomedical engineering, holography, and micromachining. The last application, micromachining, is a rapidly advancing arena in industrial technology.
Also referred to as MEMS, short for MicroElectroMechanical Systems technology, micromachining has driven the use of photoresist to remarkable new heights. Special photoresists and substrates are carefully processed and developed repeatedly in micro-sized layers, forming fully functional micro-sized circuits, structures, and even entire machines such as gear sets, valves, mirrors, sensors, and gyroscopes. Some MEMS devices can be as small as a single micrometer.
DLP or digital light processing is a technique used in modern projection television sets that utilizes a microchip with thousands of microscopic mirrors on its surface, manufactured through MEMS technology, along with a light source to create smooth, high-contrast, jitter-free images.
Many photoresist types exist to suit a large variety of applications, and the action spectra can vary from one to the next. It is critical to control the action spectra exposure settings, both the intensity of the light and the time of exposure, to avoid wasteful under or overexposure of the photoresist during processing and production.
To maintain these settings, a light meter with a spectral response as close to the photoresist's action spectrum as possible is required to get an accurate idea of how well the photoresist is being exposed. Further complicating matters is the processing equipment where photoresists are exposed are frequently very compact and have minimal room for taking these measurements.
International Light Technologies is committed to providing a variety of unique, photoresist-specific instruments to assist our customers in making these often difficult measurements.

Find out what you need to know about business insurance in this online guide from Company Formations 24.7.
By law, any business must have an Employers' Liability Insurance policy if they employ one member of staff or more.
If you work from home without any employees, personal accident insurance is recommended, although not compulsory. This is to cover your earnings in the event you are injured and consequently can't work.
If you work in an office, you may wish to protect the contents of it with insurance, and also look into buildings insurance to cover yourself against issues of damage. E-risk or "cyber" insurance is highly recommended if your business relies on e-commerce, or if your computers contain vital information that could potentially be at risk to hackers, while professional indemnity insurance provides coverage against acts of negligence at work.
Speaking with a small business consultant will help you determine the best type of business insurance for you.

This book is sometimes called "The Revelation of St. John the Divine," "The Revelation of Jesus Christ," "The Revelation," "The Apocalypse," "The Revelation of John," or "The Revelation to John." It is the final book in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) and thus concludes the Bible. The Greek title of the book translates as the "Apocalypse of John." The Greek word "apokalypsis," from which the English word apocalypse was derived, means "revelation, disclosure or unveiling."
Many Christian liberals and progressives point out that Jewish apocalyptic writings were quite common during the 1st centuries BCE and CE, and always referred to a massive, imminent change expected to occur in the author's very near future. Such Christians often interpret the prophecies in Revelation to refer only to the world during the late 1st century and early 2nd century CE.
Many conservative Christian individuals and groups have used the contents of this book to predict a wide range of dates for the end of the world in their future. So far, they have one factor in common: none have come true.

U.S. - World Bank Cooperate on Water
U.S. Secretary o State Hillary Clinton delivers remarks on World Water Day and signs a Memorandum of Understanding with the World Bank.
"This is a critical issue that cuts across every single part of development that one can imagine."
On World Water Day, March 22nd, the United States and the World Bank signed a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes closer cooperation between two of the largest institutions that deal with improving the management of freshwater resources worldwide. The memorandum also unifies the work of almost 20 U.S. government agencies that work on water-related issues.
"This is a critical issue that cuts across every single part of development that one can imagine. ... Water is one of [our world's] most important issues", said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:
"Why? Because the water crisis is a health crisis, it's a farming crisis, it's an economic crisis, it's a climate crisis, and increasingly, it is a political crisis. And therefore, we must have an equally comprehensive response."
"The Memorandum of Understanding is really an effort to do three things," said Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero. One is to exchange knowledge of best practices with the World Bank. The second is to collaborate with the World Bank in all water-related areas, on both development and diplomatic levels. The third is to create a unified response on a regional basis. Under Secretary Otero explained:
"What this agreement underlines is the importance of water as it plays itself out through every other area that we work in. If we're talking about agriculture, water is directly related. . . . If we're talking about health, water is front and center in improving the health, especially of young children."
The availability of water is a critical economic issue, as well as a security issue, since water usage can be a source of tension within countries and between neighboring countries.
The new Memorandum of Understanding is "a unique agreement, because it really does influence and cut across all of those areas," said Under Secretary Otero.
"We know that for hundreds of millions of people today, water represents a deadly threat," said Secretary of State Clinton. "There is nothing more urgent and important than that. So let's get about the business of working together . . . .to make a difference, to make our contribution to solving the water crisis and to bring greater health and stability to more of the world's people."

Representatives from St. Lucie County recently announced the launch of a new initiative to revitalize local transportation in the area. To kick off this project, the Treasure Coast Connector transit service will experience a full rebrand of its name and logo. St. Lucie County is now inviting all community members to submit their name recommendations for consideration. After a two-week nomination process, the public will have the opportunity to engage in a voting period to select their favorites.
Community members are encouraged to submit their transit name suggestions at www.StLucieBusBrand.com. The submission link will close on Jan. 22, and public voting will begin on Feb. 1. Following the renaming process, the intergovernmental team will be working to develop a new visual logo for the transportation service. The new name and brand are expected for completion in late April 2021.
"We are excited for the community to be involved with this project and assist us in evolving the future of the Treasure Coast Connector, starting with a new name," said St. Lucie Board of County Commissioner Chair Chris Dzadovsky. "Our transportation system provides a critical service to all community members by offering safe and affordable travel options throughout the area. We recognize that residents can offer unique perspectives and insight and hope this rebrand will be the first step in ensuring our future transportation services are meeting the needs of all community members."
Intergovernmental coordination will include several public engagement opportunities, including but not limited to:
The St. Lucie Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged at the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization on Feb. 24 at 2 p.m.;
The Downtown Public Market of Fort Pierce on various Saturdays;
The Beth Ryder Intermodal Facility on Avenue D and 8th Street in Fort Pierce during peak days and times;
A virtual Citizen Summit hosted by the City of Port Saint Lucie, a Virtual Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, March 4 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.;
A pop-up event at Winter Lakes (a Port St. Lucie community in the Torino neighborhood of St. Lucie West in Port St. Lucie) on Saturday, March 6 from 10 a.m. to noon.
This renaming comes at a time when the Treasure Coast Connector has experienced significant ridership growth and introduced new service improvements to the region. Public transit is an integral component to the economic growth and development for all of St. Lucie County. The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners contracts with several providers to operate the system, including MV Transportation, Inc., a recognized leader in managing the fixed-route bus service and paratransit/Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transit services, UZURV: an adaptive transportation network company, Uber for Business and TransLoc, a Ford Smart Mobility Company are just a few of the partners that help keep the system moving.
About the Treasure Coast Connector:
Administered by St. Lucie County's Transit Division, the Treasure Coast Connector is the fare-free, award-winning public transit system serving the cities of Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie Village, and the unincorporated areas of St. Lucie County. To find out more about the Treasure Coast Connector, call 772-462-1778 or visit http://www.slcride.org.

How bad is the problem of workplace productivity? How much of an impact does Facebook, Twitter, online gaming, or online shopping really have?
When it comes to online productivity, we have so much access to so many platforms, we're easily pulled away with just the slightest notification. The problem is that we work reactively rather than productivity. Instead, let's do what we can in the time we have available. Rather than being so focused on results that we end up with spikes and valleys, we can be OK with taking a little bit longer and making measured progress.
Distractions pull us away because we have an urgency addiction. The notification we get in our inbox feels urgent, but often, it's not. That new notification on whatever device is not a command.
What are some ways to keep employees from burning out or losing productivity at the office?
One of the biggest things is just giving them time to do some self-management. Give them the capability to plan their day the day before. That way, they've got a clear head at the end of the day and can have a more enjoyable life – which will pay off when they come back to the office.
We should also encourage them to work by mode rather than by project. For example, let's say I'm about to go into email: what ones do I need to deal with right away? Go in with missions, rather than questions. It increases productivity, but doesn't increase the feeling of being overwhelmed. Mode-based work is the way of the future.
How do you measure success for various productivity solutions?
The best way is by taking some kind of regular review process. I'm not a big believer in having meetings for meetings' sake. That said, if you're working by mode, you can see they've moved different projects forward by working in the same mode. Do a mode status update. You can knock this out fast.
Another thing organizations are starting to take on is working on themes. For example, Monday, our focus is on marketing. Tuesday, administration. Wednesday, content creation. That's easier to wrap your head around. There are only a certain number of themes you can work on and stay focused.
Is there an acceptable level of productivity? It's probably not realistic to expect employees to be doing productive work every single minute they're on the computer. And does that productivity shift throughout the day?
Willpower definitely plays a role in how much you can focus on your work — and it drains as the day goes on. Some people are morning people who knock out a bunch of tasks in the morning – and then fall off for the rest of the day. Night owls will do their low energy tasks in the morning and take on bigger tasks at night. It's about having awareness of your own strengths and when you're working at your best. Organizations need to be cognizant of that, so that night owls can at least make some progress in the morning.
Disconnecting is also good for productivity. Breaks are key. Its no secret people have great ideas when they're out for a jog or in the shower. Eating lunch at your desk is the worst thing you can do! We all need to disconnect sometime and recharge the batteries so that we can come at the next time and do good work.


The last few weeks have seen territorial losses for the Free Syrian Army (FSA), as government forces have executed a series major offensives on rebel-held areas. By the end of February, Qusayr near Homs was already reportedly only under partial control of the FSA, and on March 1 the Syrian army overran the rebel stronghold district of Baba Amr in the city of Homs itself. While fighting continues in a few other districts, the capture of Baba Amr was widely seen as crucial defeat for the FSA in Homs.
Less than two weeks later, government forces successfully took the northern city of Idlib from the rebels after a three-day battle. Daraa in the south and Deir ez-Zor in the east have also seen government offensives, while shelling continues in Rastan and rebel-held areas of Hama, though territorial control of these areas has mostly not changed. Meanwhile, since our last update, significant FSA activity has been reported for apparently the first time in the areas around Aleppo and Al-Qamishli, both cities that have been relatively quiet up until now.
This map also contains a correction from the last report - the town of Zabadani near Damascus was held by the rebels through late January and early February, but was taken back by the Syrian army prior to the last map update on February 26. That map has now been updated as well. Finally, the meaning of red coloration for cities on the map has been adjusted to include cities mostly under rebel control, since it is often difficult to determine whether control is 100% complete. You can see Political Geography Now's original report and background information on the Syrian uprising in the article entitled Syria Divided by Armed Conflict.
Since this map was first posted, it has since been reported that Azaz and Qalaat al-Madiq were already under rebel control on March 20. The map has been revised to show this.

In our view, zero tolerance is neither a policy nor a program, but a practice. It is the establishment of a specific consequence (or range of consequences) for a specific infraction and the consistent application of that consequence. In other words, in any disciplinary situation, if an act has a specific and inevitable consequence, then zero tolerance is being practised. For example, possession of a knife in school results in a five-day suspension. If this act is always treated in the same way, zero tolerance is being practiced. No deviation in consequence is allowed. Zero tolerance has recently come to be interpreted as a policy which provides a suspension/expulsion consequence in response to violations of the policy, i.e., absolute disciplinary outcomes. We take the position that zero tolerance is practised when the absolute inevitability of a consequence is present, irrespective of what that consequence may be.

People Are Different,

differently…
Understanding the DISC styles is not just about optimism and pessimism – it's about how different people relate to the world and to each other – in different jobs, roles, and situations – in different ways. Perhaps even more interestingly the quotes, you're about to read, illustrate how different people perceive the same situation in different ways. Understanding that different people see the same situation having different perceptions is important for:
Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?
The I-Style says the glass is half full.
The C-Style says the glass is half empty.
The D-Style says the it doesn't matter to him and he's not cleaning it!
The C-Style project manager says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
The S-Style mother of a persistently demanding five-year-old says, "Sweetheart it's whatever you want it to be, just please let mommy have five minutes of peace and quiet."
The C-Style realist says the glass contains half the required amount of liquid for it to overflow.
The D-Style cynic wonders who drank the other half.
The S-Style school teacher says it's not about whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's whether there is something in the glass at all.
The D-Style's attitude is not about whether the glass is half full or half empty, it's about who is paying for the next round.
The I-Style presenter doesn't care if the glass is half full or half empty, he just knows that starting the discussion will give him ten minutes to figure out why his PowerPoint presentation is not working.
The C-Style consultant says let's examine the question, prepare a strategy for an answer, and all for a daily rate of…
The D-Style inquisitive troublemaker wants to know what's in the glass anyhow and wants the rest of it.
The S-Style homemaker sees the dirty glass, washes and dries it, then puts it away in an old oak and etched glass cabinet that she has had in her family for generations.
The C-Style computer specialist says that next year the glass capacity will double, be half the price, but cost you 50% more for me to give you the answer.
The D-Style entrepreneur sees the glass as undervalued by half its potential.
The C-Style engineer says the glass is over-designed for the quantity of water.
The S-Style personal coach knows that the glass goes from full to empty depending on the circumstances, and reminds the drinker that he can always fill the glass when he wishes.
The C-Style logician says that where the glass is in process of being filled then it is half full; where it is in the process of being emptied then it is half empty; and where its status in terms of being filled or emptied is unknown then the glass is one in which a boundary between liquid and gas lies exactly midway between the inside bottom and the upper rim, assuming that the glass has parallel sides and rests on a level surface, and where it does not then the liquid/gas boundary lies exactly midway between the upper and lower equal halves of the available total volume of said glass.
The I-Style unorganized facilitator would discuss the question during the board of directors meeting, convene a committee to research the problem, and assign tasks for a root cause analysis, usually without a complete explanation of the problem to those assigned the tasks.
The C-Style scientist says a guess based on a visual cue is inaccurate, so mark the glass at the bottom of the meniscus of the content, pour the content into a bigger glass; fill the empty glass with fresh content up to the mark; add the original content back in; if the combined content overflows the lip, the glass was more than half full; if it doesn't reach the top, the glass was more than half empty; if it neither overflows nor fails to reach the top then it was either half-full or half-empty. Now what was the question again?
The D-Style negotiator suggests that both parties pay for the glass and then share the content. After the payment is split, he announces that will take the bottom half.
The C-Style grammarian says that while the terms half-full and half-empty are colloquially acceptable the glass can technically be neither since both full and empty are absolute states and therefore are incapable of being halved or modified in any way.
The I-Style salesperson would try and sell you both the half-full and the half-empty glass models, while convincing you that you need all the latest glass handling gadgets.
The C-Style auditor first checks whether the empty half is material and then designs the audit procedures to obtain sufficient evidence to conclude that the glass is indeed empty.
The impatient D-Style boss says that the glass is not empty at all – it is half-filled with water and half-filled with air – hence, fully filled on the whole, so get busy!
The I-Style student says the glass is just another trick played by the teacher to prove that students are dumb.
The C-Style algebraic simultaneous equation theorist says that if the glass is equally half full and half empty, then half full = half empty; therefore ½ x F = ½ x E; therefore (by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2) we show that F = E; i.e. Full equals Empty!
The C-Style efficiency analyst says the glass is operating substantially below optimization level, being consistently exactly 50% under-utilized during the period of assessment, corresponding to an over-resourcing in meeting demand equating to precisely 200% of requisite capacity in volume terms, not accounting for seasonal trends and shrinkage, and that if the situation continues there is in theory opportunity for savings or expansion.
The S-Style mother would not leave the glass sitting there long enough for anyone to consider the question, but would scoop it up, wash it up, dry it to a gleaming shine and put it back in the glass cabinet because there is no half-full or half-empty in her world… just a full glass or an untidy one.
The C-Style phobic says, "Yuck, someone drank out of it and left germs on the glass."
The S-Style counselor would ask you, "Is the half-empty/half-full glass really that important? I mean… really? Think about it. If fact, let's not. Let's set that particular issue aside for a few moments and talk about what's really bothering you."
The I-Style sales person will convince you that even though the glass is half full/empty you are getting more than your money's worth compared to buying a full glass. The full glass is less expensive because of the economies of producing a common standard version in big quantities, whereas the more expensive half full/empty glass represents much better value because it is more exclusive and better quality, and very hard to come by and greatly sought after.
The D-Style customer service agent (trying to act like an S-Style) will agree with you that the glass is half full/empty, and will do anything in his power to fill the glass up at no extra cost. However, after a full investigation (and letting his true style surface) you will be informed that you mistakenly received a half full/empty glass since you only paid for a quarter. You therefore received a half full/empty glass at the price of a quarter-full/three-quarters empty glass. You should consider yourself very lucky, and that any further complaints might result in your having to return the half full/empty glass at your own cost, with no guarantee of any refund.
The S-Style staff assistant says, "Whatever the wants it to be – or not to be."
The D-Style says, "That's not my glass; mine was bigger!"
The I-Style optimist says: "The glass is half-full." The C-Style pessimist says: "The glass is half-empty". And while they are debating the issue, the D-Style takes the glass and drinks it.
The D-Style boss expects the half-empty glass to be filled in half the time it took to fill half the glass, at half the going rate.
The I-Style marketing professional convinces the buyer that what's left is more valuable than the first half.
The D-Style banker says: "I see an opportunity! Let's put a couple of options on the full half and leverage it until it's too big to fail, then sell a tons of it… Heck! While we are at it, let's do the same to the empty half and sell that too!"
The I-Style politician says that under the last government the glass was half-empty, and becoming emptier, but thanks to his own party's new leadership, the glass is definitely now half-full, and becoming fuller; but if the other party were to return to power, the glass would once again undoubtedly empty rapidly.
The S-Style call-center receptionist asks if you'd mind holding while she finds out for you. (Your call is important to them…)
The I-Style benefits adviser says, "You're underclaiming. You're entitled to more than that. I can help you fill in a form to claim the rest of your entitlement."
Which one are you? Hope you enjoyed and will strive to be people sensitive!

P2P administrations: A timeline
Suzie Neuwirth Comment & Analysis, News	BDO, Collatera, GLI Finance, Lendy, platform administration, RSM, Sancus Finance, Trillion Fund, TrustBuddy
LENDY was not the first peer-to-peer platform to go into administration, and it probably won't be the last.
The property lender was officially handed over to administrators RSM last week, after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) opened an investigation into management practices at the firm.
Lendy's collapse has – understandably – left investors feeling anxious about the status of their funds and when they might see their capital returned. So we thought it may be worth taking a look back at the fallout that followed a few other high-profile platform closures…
2015: TrustBuddy becomes the first P2P platform to go bankrupt
TrustBuddy was the first listed P2P platform in Europe. The Swedish firm was hugely ambitious, and launched a UK version of its platform in 2014, promising returns of up to 12 per cent for retail investors. Around £23m was invested though the platform, before "serious misconduct" was revealed, and the platform's regulatory permissions were revoked.
In October 2015, TrustBuddy went into administration with millions of pounds still outstanding to investors. The following year, legal firm Lindahl announced that outstanding loans had been sold off for just 25 per cent of their value, leaving many lenders out of pocket.
2017: Trillion Fund puts itself up for sale
Renewable energy platform Trillion Fund put itself up for sale in March 2017 after an end to wind farm subsidies meant that the business was no longer viable. Trillion Fund allowed lenders to invest in renewable energy projects across the UK, but after government subsidiaries were withdrawn in 2015, the platform stopped listing loans.
However, the platform worked hard for investors until the end, closing its doors earlier this year without a single investor loss. In the absence of a buyer, Trillion Fund opted to donate its technology to charity.
2018: Collateral winds down
Arguably the most high-profile P2P closure (at least until Lendy), Collateral was forced to shut down after it was discovered to be acting without proper regulatory permissions. BDO was appointed in April 2018 to manage the administration process, but six months later investors had still not received any clarity on how much of their money could be recovered.
January 2019: GLI Finance shutters Sancus Finance
Sancus Finance was unveiled in January 2017 after parent company GLI Finance rebranded its invoice finance company Platform Black and expanded its remit to include short, medium and long term finance to SMEs and their owners, supply chain finance, education finance and secured loans.
However, by February 2019, GLI had made the decision to wind down the platform due to worsening market conditions and a £1.1m hit from an insolvent borrower.
May 2019: Lendy enters administration
Lendy's closure has sent ripples of concern around the industry. A high-profile lender which sponsored the famed Cowes Week regatta, it had accrued more than £160m on its loan book by the time the administrators were called in May 2019. Of this, £90m was believed to be in default.
Investors have taken to social media and financial forums to express their concern around the status of their capital, but information from administrators RSM has been limited, to date.
GLI Finance share price slumps on Fintech Ventures writedown	Orca chief says Lendy was "typical example of poor P2P"


HELP US REHABILITATE RESCUED OTTERS AND SEND THEM HOME!
DONATE NOW to build suitable enclosures for their rehabilitation.
You can bring hope for these otters and help them to return to the wild sooner!
You can make a difference for the rescued otters today!
Otters are threatened by illegal hunting, trade, habitat loss, and pollution.
This November, Save Vietnam's Wildlife welcomed 10 Asian Small-clawed Otters to our center. We also rescued one out of three individuals (two died before we arrived) last year.
When we found them, many were starving, dehydrated, injured … and frightened.
WHEN YOU DONATE, YOU ARE HELPING US TO RELEASE THEM BACK TO THE WILD!
Otters are social animals. They live in family groups in the wild. Although we are providing the best care possible at our center, these rescued otters are currently housed in very small concrete enclosures that form part of our facility's quarantine block.
Long-term captivity in these enclosures will impact their health and welfare, and make it harder to release them.
YOUR HELP IS CRITICAL TO THESE OTTERS' WELL-BEING AND REHABILITATION.
Building enclosures simulating their natural habitat is the FIRST STEP to help them complete their rehabilitation, recover their instincts, and allow them to be released back to the wild sooner.
Help us achieve $15,000 by New Year 31/12/2018!

The Ultimate Low-End Mac mini. Loaded For $499.
Tuesday, October 4, 2005 by Alexis Kayhill in Cheap Mac Apps
Pimp your Mac mini. Trick out Apple's $499 value-packed, bargain-basement priced Mac. Keep the price at $499 and load up on the freebies. It's all in the software.
What's a bargain without someone showing you how to make it a better bargain. Few would argue that the Mac mini is not Apple's best Mac bargain ever.
There's not much outside and not much needed. Keyboard. Mouse. Monitor. Those are a dime a dozen these days. I saw a whole set at Goodwill for $35 (no guarantee, though) and everyone I know has an extra monitor and keyboard and five mice in the desk drawer.
Nope, no doubt about it $499 gets you a package you'll love. So, what do you have to do to pimp the mini ride? How do you trick out something that's such a value already without spending another dime?
Granted, the Mac mini is loaded and ready. Mac OS X Tiger. Solid, dependable, secure, and stuffed with features that make Windows users drool.
The mini is also stuffed with the basics in AppleWorks; spreadsheet, word processor, database, graphics. Old, yes. AppleWorks still runs rings around Microsoft's Works and neither has been upgraded since about 1892.
Two years after iLife began on earth, there's still nothing quite like it and it's free with each new Mac mini (along with 512 megs RAM, USB, Firewire, ethernet). iTunes for music and entry to the iTunes Music Store.
There's also GarageBand and an opportunity to show the world why you flinked out of band in high school. iPhoto captures digital images and sends them wherever you want to go. QuickTime plays movies. Mail does mail. iCal and AddressBook keep track of people you want to impress and relatives who aren't impressed.
What's not to like? The Mac mini is a hit. So how do you make it better? Add the freebies!
Feel too young to use the older than old AppleWorks? Try the newer than new and whiter than white NeoOffice J. It's compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and it's free. You just saved $300.
Don't want to cough up $600 for Photoshop or Illustrator? Can't afford $1,000 for Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks? Microsoft to the rescue.
Uh, what's that again? Microsoft? Yep. Old Billy Boy's minions bought a graphics application for the Mac a few years back. It's called Expression. It's free.
Man, are you tricking out this little Mac mini, or what? Office, Graphics; who could ask for more?
Say you're into making web pages and need something good and cheap (can you say 'Free!?') to do XHTML and CSS? You could pay a couple of big ones for BBEdit (already assumes you don't want Dreamweaver). Or, don't pay anything and use these instead:
Taco HTML Edit is good, stable, and priced right. Free. Here's one that could be better and combines XHTML editing with CSS editing.
SEE Edit mini has evolved from a scruffy little wannabe editor to one that's worthy of a look see. Did I mention that it's free?
How pimped does this Mac mini ride need to be? You've got OS X, iLife, Office, Graphics, Editors? What's left? Besides all the utilities I come up with every week, not much.
The Mac mini is a great value made only more valuable with the addition of just the right Mac applications; the kind that cost nothin'.
What about you? If you had to trick out a $499 Mac mini and couldn't afford to spend another dime, what would you add? Share the wealth.

A radio station takes its claim to the streets
Dozens of people staged a sit-in yesterday at the Shyris Avenue, in support for broadcaster Diego Oquendo, and then a march. They wore white t-shirts, Ecuadorian flags, and posters with slogans like "I am radio Vision."
This radio station, like other media, participates in the frequencies bid that started in 2016 and is carried out by the Telecommunications Regulatory and Control Agency (Arcotel) and the Council for Regulation and Development of Information and Communication (Cordicom).
Accompanied by relatives, Oquendo addressed the audience with a microphone, which applauded.
He told them that the Radio Vision cause goes beyond a frequency, but that it has to do with the defense of democracy in Ecuador and that it is not possible to build a more just society without and free communication.
"The frequency contest suffers from a series of gaps, inconsistencies and even illegalities," he said. He explained that for example, they are competing with community projects, which have different objectives than those of private media. Authorities reject any irregularities in the process.

Postcard NZ-146406 from New Zealand shows a view of the Milky Way from Down Under. According to an article from the Photography Roundtable, for people living in the Southern Hemisphere, the best time period to see and photograph the Milky Way is from February to October, as the galactic center of the Milky Way will not be visible from November to January.
For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the best time to see and photograph the Milky Way is between March and October with the galactic center in full view.
On a separate note, USPS released the Pluto—Explored! and Views of Our Planets Forever stamps during the first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony at World Stamp Show-NY 2016 on May 31, 2016.

Feminism has taken a giant leap in society this past year.
Feminism has taken a giant leap in society this past year, the wave of the #metoo movement has reached incredible heights, and as a woman, I couldn't be more proud of the achievements of some of these amazing women and remarkable men.
However, it would be an understatement to say that as a society we still have a long way to go.
After talking to my sister about how backwards the story of Kannagi is (the lead female of a Tamil folklore, who burns downs Madurai because her adulterous husband was wrongly accused of stealing), I did some reflective thinking; what is society and why are we so judgemental of women's choices?
Now that is a comment.
As a society, we need to understand that feminism is about freedom of choice and expression, imagine having your ideologies belittled because your choice of clothing doesn't fit the criteria of some "dim-witted hoydens". Yet, the most heartbreaking thing about the Emma Watson controversy is that the same judgement comes from women - women who are supposed to empathise and understand that clothing is just a form of expression and dressing the way you want to doesn't make you an attention seeker or a "hoe".
The judgement doesn't stop there, attacking girls for their choices during a night out, or because they're more sexually active than the next person all fit into the criteria of harassment. Because harassment isn't always sexual, they can take the form of snide remarks or judgemental bitching sessions.
I've seen a girl cut ties with her best friend for cheating, but the same girl defend a guy when he made the same mistake; but can we really blame her? As her double standards are entrenched, from the decades of sexism in which men are much more easily forgiven for their actions as opposed to women. Now, had Kannagi had an illicit relationship the way Kovalan did, would Silapathikaram still be the epic novel that it is today? Or would it be ridiculed for its distasteful storyline?
If Cardi B or Khloe Kardashian cheated on their spouses would the internet still stay "I still ship it?"
I've used the word society a lot, but it's easy to forget we make up society, so surely change should begin from within.
Women comprise over 50% of the world's population, so when we start to make the choice not to be judgmental of our gender, then everyone else will catch on. Feminism doesn't start with #metoo; it starts with not putting down other girls to make yourself look and feel better, it starts with not complaining about a girl because a guy you're interested in likes her, and it starts with not being judgemental, because you never know the whole story.
I've fallen into the above traps, which is why I know that feminism isn't a goal to be attained, but an everyday choice and that choice starts today.

But the rest of it he makes R1766 into a god, his graven image. He falls down before it and worships; he also prays R1767 to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god."

He feeds R1772 F644 on ashes; a deceived R1773 heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver himself, F645 nor say, "Is R1774 there not a lie in my right hand?"

Adapting HR Attitudes in the Wake of the BLM Movement
October 13, 2020 /Company Culture, HR Strategy /by Devin Partida
The Black Lives Matter movement, or BLM movement, recently attracted major attention. People in the United States and elsewhere ramped up their protests against white supremacy and the discrimination faced by African-Americans. They also brought awareness to the violence that too-frequently occurs when people of color encounter police.
As more people notice these issues raised by activists, human resources (HR) professionals must not stay silent on the sidelines. Changes are happening — and now is not the time to appear tone-deaf.
Large Segments of Workers Expect Companies to Show Support
Human resources executives can demonstrate the expected attitude toward the cause by showing public support. A recent survey asked people about the anticipated responses from their employers — if any — regarding the BLM movement. The results showed 89% of HR workers expect their companies to publicly speak up for the cause.
This is the highest percentage for any sector studied, indicating HR teams are especially unlikely to accept their employers staying quiet.
Also notable: More than half of those polled expected companies to have a say on the matter across all industries. Only 47% said they expected such action from their employers in the law sector — a minority, but still a sizable percentage. In all other job categories, at least 57% of respondents thought their employers should take a public stand for the cause.
These findings reveal how crucial it is for HR professionals to facilitate early, authentic and empathetic responses at the corporate level. Social media profiles and the company's website are excellent places to post the statement to get plenty of notice.
The BLM Movement Spotlights Wage Discrimination
When George Floyd died in handcuffs after a police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes, activists quickly energized. They immediately sought to draw attention to the often-unnoticed hardships that many Black people face. It's easy to agree that preventing someone from breathing was an unjustified action. Still, many didn't realize how deep the unfair treatment goes.
Wage discrimination is a strong example. Although Black workers comprise 13% of all jobs in the United States' economy, they fill approximately 19% of essential roles that pay an hourly rate of less than $16.54. That amount accommodates the basic needs of a four-person family.
Dissatisfaction with earnings spans to other job types, too. According to a survey of in-house counsel, 41% of respondents believed their compensation was below what peers earned. The prevalence of wage discrimination makes it easy for people to understand the topic. It also helps connect inequality to what Black people too often experience.
HR representatives should aim to start meaningful discussions about addressing and ending wage discrimination. However, they cannot stop at powerful phrases that sound promising. People have heard them for years and feel wearied by a lack of action. Taking this issue seriously means understanding how to make progress happen — even if improvements occur slowly.
Figuring out attractive salaries to offer candidates is one crucial responsibility handled by HR teams. However, they must also take the steps necessary for giving fair, appealing wages to everyone in the company's workforce. Doing so makes a business a standout option for people seeking work. It also increases employees' likelihood of remaining loyal to their workplace.
Running an Anti-Racist Organization Requires a Thorough Effort
Showing genuine support for Black lives means halting the actions that perpetuate discrimination. Organizations can do that by committing to operate with anti-racist ideals. Some companies responded by firing people who spoke racist slurs or engaged in similar actions. That's a start, but it barely scratches the surface of what having an anti-racist company means.
Laura Morgan Roberts, a professor, speaker and author, explains, "To be anti-racist is to acknowledge the permanence of racism through organizations, industries and communities, and to recognize that racism is a system of disproportionate opportunity and penalties based on skin color." Thus, anything from workplace procedures to unspoken norms could have racist undertones that initially go unnoticed by many.
Making meaningful changes starts when leaders acknowledge what aspects of their companies sustain inequality. Next, people in power must commit to promoting equal opportunities in problematic areas and within the organization as a whole. Admitting there is room for improvement is often difficult, but it's necessary. Knowing where issues exist sets the framework for strengthening the company and doing away with racism.
Differences in perceptions may cause some HR teams and people from other departments to disagree on whether there are problems to tackle, however. A study showed that while 49% of Black HR professionals agreed racial and ethnic discrimination exists in their workplaces, only 13% of white people in HR roles did.
Those statistics emphasize why it's so important to get feedback and guidance from the people who experience such treatment firsthand. That may mean bringing in a consultant to find the root causes of the biggest issues. Or asking team members of color for anonymous feedback about effective ways to facilitate equal treatment for all.
BLM Movement: The Spark of an Ongoing Aim
Even the most well-intentioned HR professionals cannot do all the right things to support the BLM movement. However, attitudinal shifts can go a long way in sparking permanent, positive change. People in this line of work must also remember that they're human. They'll make some occasional mistakes, but owning up to those errors and getting back on track is crucial to success.
Additionally, HR teams should not view ending racial injustices as a realistic goal to achieve. While they can indeed facilitate the shifts that make these issues less common, reaching higher equality levels is a long-term aspiration.
Even after making tremendous strides, company representatives will likely regularly spot areas that still need work.
And that is okay. Because the most important thing is a willingness to show consistent dedication.
