For years, Americans who would never put up with leaky plumbing pipes have been willing to accept leaky ducts. While water damage is hard to ignore, the damage caused by leaky ducts is more subtle. Yet leaky ducts not only waste huge amounts of energy — they can also lead to comfort complaints, moisture problems, mold, and rot.
Most green certification programs require builders to pay attention to duct tightness. Now that duct testing requirements are starting to appear in some local building codes, more and more builders are asking questions about the ins and outs of duct leakage testing. Read more about testing your duct system for leaks.

TV vs Digital: A match made in heaven?
RTS Futures assembled a panel of pioneers for its sold-out event at London's Hospital Club in late April, "I made it in... digital". An enthusiastic, youthful audience was eager to learn from their experiences of working at the cutting edge of new media. It learnt, perhaps surprisingly, that television – the dancing dad at an achingly hip party – still has a big role to play in the digital age.

The Barons
"Joshua Corey has reinvented the good old-fashioned American avant-garde epic poem (Whitman, Stein, Crane, O'Hara) and thrust it, kicking if not screaming, into the early 21st century, 'rescued / by what survives the will to survive.' The result is thrilling, and unlike any poetry I know."
"Joshua Corey's The Barons is a sprawling collection of poems intent on toeing the line between the profound and the glib, brainy deconstruction and guttural implosion. These poems are like toys cranked up to the point of breaking or like hurricanes whipped into speed and spinning furiously in place."
—Joe Hall, Colorado Review
Available from Omnidawn Publishing and wherever books are sold.
Beautiful Soul: An American Elegy
Beautiful Soul: An American Elegy is a darkly glamorous existential noir in the late modernist tradition of José Saramago, W.G. Sebald, Italo Calvino, and Roberto Bolaño. Written in gorgeous and elliptical prose, this electric first novel is a love story, a ghost story, and a psychological thriller about the enigma of American innocence, the fatality of storytelling, and the precarious destiny of reading itself.
"Corey's prose registers the sensations, perceptions, and experiences of the novel's characters — primarily the protagonist — in truly the only way such characters actually come to life: they live in language, and to that end the writing in Beautiful Soul, in its scrupulous attention to phrase and image in almost every sentence, could be called an attempt to bring the characters and their milieu to life through the vigor of the words on the page."
--Daniel Green, Full Stop
"We hold a letter, its creases worn nearly through from years of opening and folding shut again. Yet each reading is a revelation, a shock, a mystery, a challenge. Corey gives this a new jolt, a new charge, in this rich and intensely self-reflective novel."
--Spencer Dew, decomP
Available from Amazon in print or Kindle editions, from Small Press Distribution, and from the publisher, Spuyten Duyvil Press.
Severance Songs
One of the Academy of American Poets' Notable Books for 2011.
"Joshua Corey's book of sonnets is formally playful and emotionally raw, with an intensity of expression that is at times harrowing. . . . [A]n extraordinary volume." —Paul Hoover
"These songs shuttle between a past and a future, cast adrift or severed from a violent, ashen present into a necessary untimeliness. . . . What then of the sonnet, repository of desire and enemy of time? It is, as ever, that form by which we re-imagine subjectivity to confront altered circumstances, and to assess 'the shipwreck of the singular' in the maelstrom of the many. . . ." —Michael Palmer
"In Severance Songs, Joshua Corey tends to the always-mysterious border that connects the interior and the exterior. Is one inside the tale if one alludes to it? Is the eye tethered as witness to what it sees? And who can avoid singing these 'culpability cantos'? Yet if the lush Eden of intimacy foresees our later expulsion, this poet shows us how to stand at the garden's threshold where 'reaching builds on reaching.' Corey risks the possible emptiness inherent in rupture to seek out the ways we are 'knotted to one another's possibilities.' The architecture of the poem, he reveals, is replete with doors and windows and it is for us to discover whether we are looking in or looking out." —Elizabeth Robinson
Now available from Small Press Distribution, Amazon, or your local bookstore.

Stawell's Natasha van Leeuwen is taking on an extraordinary challenge, to walk 100km within 24 hours in March. The Oxfam Trailwalker is one of the most inspiring team challenges in the world and Miss van Leeuwen said her group is hoping to walk the distance in 28-29 hours. A number of walks are hosted around the world and three are in Australia. Miss van Leeuwen will be participating in the walk with three of her friends from March 29-30 in Melbourne from Emerald Lake to Fairfield. "We are going to do a small amount of training," she said. "We will walk 50km and walk into the night. Have a few hours sleep and then go another 20km." Miss van Leeuwen said the big concern is fatigue during the walk. "I've been told at the 50km mark – everyone is really happy," she said. "After that, the mood shifts until the finish line is in sight. "But it will be worth it – it's such a worthy cause." Miss van Leeuwen said the Oxfam charity is one close to her heart after spending some time visiting countries in need. "We're taking the challenge to raise awareness on behalf of Oxfam," she said.

The Oxfam Trailwalker is one of the most inspiring team challenges in the world and Miss van Leeuwen said her group is hoping to walk the distance in 28-29 hours.

News Stalled Bourbon, Kings Cross redevelopment returns respecting its heritage
Stalled Bourbon, Kings Cross redevelopment returns respecting its heritage
| Sep 17,2020
The Bourbon, Kings Cross owner is having another go at getting development approval for the extensive site amalgamation, after heritage rules forced them to keep the two Italianate terrace style buildings.
The $65 million proposal comes two years after the City of Sydney released new planning controls for Darlinghurst Road in Kings Cross.
Costs have soared from the initial $47 million proposal.
The draft controls ensured that any development retain the heritage.
The façade of The Bourbon at 22–24 Darlinghurst Road was deemed a site of historical significance that reflected social and architectural change in Potts Point over the decades.
The mansion terrace was originally built for wealthy professionals, then modified for use as a private hospital, later converted to a boarding house, and finally became a popular nightclub.
The proposal marks the end of an era for the standalone hotel that comes with more folklore than any other in Sydney since being opened in 1967 by Bernie Houghton.
The Bourbon premises, initially the haunt of US servicemen on R&R, then colourful underworld Sydney identities, more recently had a reputation for late night sporting star fistacuffs as it was among Sydney's first seven days 24-hour licenced premises.
Having spent $66 million on his substantial five building site amalgamation, developer Sam Arnaout engaged heritage advisers who pressed ahead with demolition plans.
Residents strongly opposed the demolition of the heritage buildings dating back to 1890s in what was a $47 million proposal.
Arnaout initially viewed the retention of the heritage and its incorporation into the proposed development "as not feasible or necessary."
Indeed Urbis and NBRS both initially claimed that the site included "a highly altered building which is not easily distinguishable as a representative example of the late Victorian period in which it was constructed."
"The site now represents an ad hoc collection of elements with no clear chronology or character and the buildings do not have the level of intactness to warrant retention, except for the principal form of No.30 Darlinghurst Road (Les Girls),' it argued in 2017.
"Any historic and aesthetic values are considered to be eroded by successive and substantial modifications.," it added.
"The façade of 22 and 24 (above the awning) makes a limited contribution to the streetscape as a recognisable Victorian styled element, however the contribution is highly degraded."
The new plans, which are understood to reduce the number of apartments in order to include a hotel, have not yet been formally posted on the City of Sydney website, but circulated among resident and business groups.
It was 2017 when the infamous Bourbon nightclub in Kings Cross was set for outright demolition following a redevelopment proposal for a $47 million luxury eight storey apartment block.
Arnaout controls the expanded northern entry of the Cross, from the Fountain Cafe at Kingsley Hall on Barncleuth Square through to the Empire Hotel on the Roslyn Street corner, but he has still missed out on securing the Lido building which would have made the site rectangular. His site is 2500 sq m.
(Source Sydney City Council Archives)
The only nod to the past in the proposed plans was keeping the curved facade of the former 1965 Les Girls hotel.
Arnaout's Iris Capital initially proposed 83 apartments and 101 car parking spaces, plus retail premises and two licensed bars. It is proposed the reincarnated Bourbon will have up to 400 patrons and the Empire some 920, as it the mixed use application seeks to navigate the twin outcomes of liquor outlets and quiet residential living.
Chris Corrode, the Sydney City Council area planning manager, had given Iris Capital pre-application advice on the initial proposal
Arnaout ought to increase the site density.
The current floor area is 5856 sqm. The initial application seeks an extra 1865 sqm, taking the density to 6936 sq m.
The initial proposed design (below) of the façade to Darlinghurst Road had been developed with SJB Planning, Urbis Heritage and Woods Bagot Architects.
Arnaout bought the Bourbon for $24 million from publican Christopher Cheung who said the lockout laws had influenced his decision to sell the property.
The proposed apartment block has been a collaborative design by SJB Planning, Urbis Heritage and Woods Bagot Architects.
Within the subject site, a three-storey retail building and boarding house known as Lowestoft was constructed on 20 Darlinghurst Road; a three-storey residential boarding house, St Louis on 22 Maribyrnong Defence Site; a three-storey private hospital, Chanrlesmont, on 24 Darlinghurst Road and a pair of attached, two-storey houses known as "Lister" and "Lynn" on 26 and 28 Darlinghurst Road; and an eight-storey residential chambers called Commodore Private Hotel was constructed at the junction of Darlinghurst Road and Roslyn Street, designed by architect, Claude Hamilton.

Essays on Management
Accounting Frauds: ZZZZ Best Company, Inc
ZZZZ Best company is one of the biggest examples of Accounting Frauds. The founder of ZZZZ best was Barry Minkow. He was a very smart young entrepreneur when he started the company. He was involved in credit card forgeries prior to starting his own carpet cleaning business "ZZZZ Best Company". Minkow began his business with small carpet cleaning jobs and he became a multimillionaire in a very short period of time. Minkow met a person named Tom Padgett at Los Angeles Health club. This was the beginning of Minkow's big fraud scheme.
Padgett was the insurance claims adjuster and Minkow became his friend. After becoming Padgett's friend, Minkow thought of using his friendship with him to make profit in his business. He convinced Padgett to simply confirm over the telephone to banks and any other interested third parties that ZZZZ Best was the recipient of occasional insurance restoration contacts. Minkow made a deal with Padgett that he will pay him $100 every week for doing this. Padgett did what Minkow wanted him to do and this was the first success of Minkow in his big fraud scheme.
Minkow was able to get big loans from Banks by showing them the insurance restoration contacts. After successfully receiving loans from banks, Minkow decided to focus more on loans restoration contracts. ZZZZ Best's 80 percent of the revenue was from insurance restoration contacts. Minkow reduced his carpet cleaning services and started taking more and more loan from banks and he was successful in that with the help of his friend Padgett. After this huge success ZZZZ Best became a big firm from a very small carpet cleaning company. This was the time when Minkow decided to go public with ZZZZ Best Company.
Minkow's decision to take ZZZZ Best public meant that he could no longer completely control his firm's financial disclosures. Registering with the SEC required auditors, investment bankers, and outside attorneys to pursue ZZZZ Best's periodic financial statements. ZZZZ Best was first subjected to a full-scope independent audit for the 12 months ended April 30, 1986. George Greenspan, the sole practitioner who performed that audit, confirmed the existence of ZZZZ Best's major insurance restoration contracts by contacting Tom Padgett.
Padgett served as the principal officer of Interstate Appraisal Services, which reportedly contracted the jobs out to ZZZZ Best. By this time, Padgett was an active and willing participant in Minkow's fraudulent schemes. Minkow established Interstate Appraisal Services and Assured Property Management for the sole purpose of generating fake insurance restoration contacts for ZZZZ Best. The first Auditor of ZZZZ Best, Mr. Greenspan was deceived by Minkow. Mr. Greenspan only contacted Padgett for confirming the insurance restoration contracts.
He did not visit the sites of the contracts, neither did he looked for further details. Padgett was involved in the fraudulent scheme with Minkow and he lied to Mr. Greenspan that the contracts held by ZZZZ Best exist. But it was Mr. Greenspan's duty as an independent auditor that he should have checked the sites of the contracts and all the paper work pertaining to them. It was his carelessness which made Minkow successful in deceiving the first Auditor of ZZZZ best. This is what encouraged Minkow to carry on with bigger fraudulent schemes.
The second firm that Audited ZZZZ Best was Ernst & Whinney. Shortly after Greenspan completed his audit of ZZZZ Best's financial statements for fiscal year 1986. Minkow dismissed him and retained Ernst & Whinney to perform the following year's audit. Ernst & Whinney intented to provide ZZZZ Best: a review of the company's financial statements, assistance in the preparation of a registration statement to be filed with the SEC, a comfort letter ZZZZ Best's underwriters, and a full scope audit for the year 1987.
They had completed everything that they had intended for, However, Ernst & Whinney never completed the 1987 audit. This was because, they started hearing about the fraudulent schemes taking part in ZZZZ Best's operations. The major event that alarmed Ernst & Whinney was the article in Los Angeles times regarding Minkow. It was stated in the article that Minkow was involved in credit card forgeries at a very young age prior to starting his own company. This was the time when investors and others associated with ZZZZ Best started to step back.
This was a major reason that concerned Ernst & Whinney about ZZZZ Best. In addition to the news article, Ernst & Whinney also received a letter from an anonymous writer, who warned them about the fraud in ZZZZ Best. It was stated that the assets of ZZZZ Best are not properly reported and the insurance restoration contacts were all fraudulent. Ernst & Whinney questioned Minkow about the fraudulent Insurance restoration contracts but Minkow was able to prove them that the contracts exist.
He gave them the address of a building that was being restored and he bribed the security guard and others to tell them that the building is contracted under ZZZZ Best Company. This was sufficient to prove Ernst & Whinney that the contracts stated in ZZZZ Best financial statements were accurate and they did exist. In spite of that, Ernst & Whinney did not audit the ZZZZ Best in 1987 due to Minkow's bad reputation and the news about the fraudulent contracts. Minkow was successful in getting away from another audit and continued operating his firm with all the fraudulent contracts and other credit card frauds.
According to my understanding of this case, I think that the auditors should be very careful in their job because it could create a major problem and loss in corporate world as well as Accounting profession. In this case it is proven that the negligence of two auditors had allowed a firm to operate by doing a big fraud to earn profit. Even after two audits, the auditors were not able to catch the fraud in the firm. It was caught when a normal women who was defrauded by ZZZZ Best, kept the track of all credit card forgeries done by ZZZZ Best

Discussion in 'Survival Medicine' started by BRONZ, Nov 2, 2005.
Anybody ever get layed up in bed and worry about what if something bad should happen right now.
Man, 2 weeks ago I was at work and my left hand became very sore, to the point of being useless. The next morning I woke up and both hands were very sore and my left knee was sore. Later that day at work my left knee stated to hurt so bad I had to limp. Drove myself home and went to bed thinking I had to go see the Doctor in the AM. About 1am I woke my wife up with a 8 or 9 scale pain in my knee and asked her were the local hospital was. Just living in this area 2 months so I didn't know and drove myself to the ER.
Long story short a week later they still don't know what happen to me. Check for lyms(sp) that came back negitive. And after about a week on crutches , a bunch of pain killers it went away.
Laying in bed I kept saying to myself man this isn't a good time for something bad to happen.
I have wondered this too about being unable to keep up like always when sick or hurt.
I have made sure to keep my wife and Daughter up on taking care of everything till im back in good shape.
I broke my back in Nov, between them and my friends evrything was fine through the winter.
That is definitely a concern. I would say the best thing would be to train everyone in your immediate family to do any of the things that you would not be able to do if you were down.
If I was able to, I could verbaly supervise, but what if you were completely incapacitated?
With me being gone alot I have taught my daughter how to check for tripped breakers,how to prime the well pump and things like that that I would normaly do if I were home.
Working on oil rigs I always made it a point to train everyone on my crew to operate the rig. That way if something happened I would'nt be the only one who knew how to shut the rig down and secure the well.
What a scare that must have been Bronz. Any chance you'll ever find out what caused it.
That is unnerving Bronz. I was thinking along a similar line of thought when I was getting ready for my second round of surgery and the hurricanes were hitting the Gulf. I was wondering if I would be trapped at my place, the world coming down around us, unable to even shoulder a pack to bug out. As it is now, I could carry some weight, but no where near what I would expect of myself before the operation.
I suppose that this reason alone is a good one to stay in shape and to make annual trips to the doctor/dentist. That being said, sometimes bad things happen at the worst possible time.
That's scary Bronze. You might want to get a second opinion on that, when things go wrong, you want to at least know why. I just hope it doesn't happen again. Take care man.

Mediterranean Coastal Wetlands
Feb 1, 2018 | Biodiversity, Communications and Outreach, News
Since 1900, the Mediterranean has lost almost 50% of all its wetlands, the loss of which still continues today. Wetlands (which include lakes, ponds, rivers, lagoons, coral reefs and coasts) are home to some of the most special, unique and diverse native plants and animals, and many of them form important stopovers and breeding grounds for migratory birds. Funded by the MAVA Foundation, 12 organisations big and small are partnering to help save these precious ecosystems that are of great important not just to animals and plants, but also the communities that thrive there. Wetlands are rich in heritage and culture (as we've seen through the Rapid Assessment Report done as part of the MCNC project and the work our MCNC partners are currently doing in Messalonghi-Aitoliki, Ghar El Melh, Gediz Delta and Byblos on traditional fisheries) and include a variety of unique agricultural and fishing practices, salt harvesting techniques, and traditional and artisanal crafts. Providing a cultural perspective, and using art and creative messaging to raise awareness for conservation issues, are some of the things DiversEarth does best, and we were delighted when the MAVA Foundation invited us to attend and contribute to initial discussions regarding their strategy 'Coastal Wetlands' in Tour du Valat last year. In addition to being a part of the core communications team for this overarching initiative, we will be co-creatively conceptualising and creating a Sand Art film, which will tell the story of why wetlands are vital to the health and well being of people and the planet. Using the appropriate medium of sand, we look to engage and build awareness among the general public for the values and services that Wetlands provide.

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us, mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts, emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own.

(Reflection Paper) Top 3 trending topics in Twitter Philippines analyzed through the lens of Horkheimer, Adorno, and Benjamin
by Rianne Hill Soriano - October 1, 2020 March 6, 2021 572
Reflection Topic: Go to Twitter and look up the top 3 trending topics in the Philippines. Briefly analyze them through the lens of Horkheimer, Adorno, and Benjamin.
A reflection paper for my Media Theory class for the lecture on Ideology as Instrumental Rationality through the Walter Benjamin essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" and the Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer essay "The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception"
I found the following as the top three trending Twitter topics in the Philippines: 1) #KathNielSitcom; 2) #YujuDynamiteCover; 3) Happy Chuseok. The first two are hashtags, the third one is a greeting for a widely celebrated Korean holiday.
Using the framework of Horkheimer and Adorno, these trending topics clearly reflect how the culture industry serves as a form of public entertainment and a distraction from the society's more important issues. Being on the top spot, the huge following of the KathNiel brand clearly shows fans' anticipation for the love team's upcoming sitcom. Meanwhile, as the Korean wave continues its integration into the Pinoy modern culture, the two runners-up featuring Korean singer Yuju doing a cover of the record-breaking K-pop hit "Dynamite" by BTS and the celebration of Chuseok prove how Filipinos in Twitter express their excitement on Korean trends.
For Benjamin's essay, considering the time he wrote it, I understand where he was coming from. However, for me, his concerns on the mechanical reproduction of art and the aura are not as simple as they used to be. While it's true that there's still much more to be desired with an original these days, for me, making a fan-made work or even a celebrity doing a song cover means their works can form auras of their own, while the economic issue of "a copy" riding on the marketability of "an original" is worth another discussion.
Overall, this reflection paper reminded me of how I viewed Hollywood around two decades ago as an intricate factory with the different pop-culture platforms carefully weaved together for the glory of capitalism. This has just been substantiated by what I learned from these readings.

Nintendo Expected To Post Crushing Q2 Losses
Jim Hargreaves 26/10/11 24 Comments
Industry giant Nintendo will be posting its Q2 financials tomorrow morning and if reports from Japanese newspaper Nikkei are to be believed, the company could be posting landmark losses of up to ¥100 billion, in contrast to Nintendo's ¥55 billion forecast for the period between April and September 2011.
Foreign exchange losses (80% of Nintendo software sales are made overseas) and the financial failure of the 3DS are said to be the two main constituting factors, Nintendo having to slash the price of its newest handheld in August by a third to draw in consumers.

Nintendo have sold their soul to the Casual market with the Wii and DS, but it is just that, a casual market.
People are using their phones for casual cames now, why pay £35 for a game when you can pay 69p
They have managed to alienate core gamers with their enforced waggle, games too easy, lacklustre online facilities, fun for the whole family approach.
The sad thing is, the 3DS has some amazing games on it, and it's the one struggling.
Scythegpd	 26/10/11, 13:48
I was going to say something similar.
Not one gamer I know has only 2 or 3 games for their console, I've lost count of the number of Wii owners I've spoken to with not even that many.
Console sale is a one off profit, it's games that keep the life-blood flowing.
Nintento pretty much alienated the "traditional" gamers for the most part, selling their souls for the casual market and becoming "trendy". They're now learning a harsh lesson in what happens to trends.
Not shedding a tear about this, with their profits from earlier years they can cover this. But anobody with and commercial/finance background should have seen this coming a while ago. Nintendo seemed to fall victim to the "Sony PS3" affliction thinking people will buy anything they put out because of their past success. Sony seemed to have learnt the hard way, now lets see if Nintendo do as well.
R4U Eldave0	 26/10/11, 14:04
"Not one gamer I know has only 2 or 3 games for their console". Technically I only have 3 ps3 games at the moment as I trade mine in to pay for other ones ;) I take your point though (besides I have well over 15 xbox360 games lol)
Generally if people have more than 1 console they have a "preferred" machine that has more games than the other.
That's why I didn't mention a specific console as I was referring to any "non-Wii" console, at this stage generally the PS3, 360 or both.
I suppose I could have said "the type of gamer who buys a PS3 or 360 over a Wii" to be more precise
Crocadillian	 26/10/11, 15:50
Although I know there are arguments that Nintendo usually succeed with whatever they do, but as 'innovative' as the Wii U is (not like the Dreamcast had such ideas), it's implementation like the 3DS is very worrying. It seems all again prepared for Nintendo and no other developer, unlike platforms such as PSN where developers and games are actively supported and promoted.
Klart	 26/10/11, 13:58
Have to agree with the above.
The Wii U seems a deseperate attempt to reconnect with the core gamer, but it is too little, too late.
Zelda:Skyward Sword, Mario Kart 7, Luigis Mansion 2, Kid Icarus, Mario 3D. I'm sure they aren't too worried yet ;)
Theres no denying though that there hasn't been a noteworthy Ninty game in months and months.
Awayze	 26/10/11, 15:04
Nintendo you only got lucky with the Wii because it was cheap and most families thought it was better than the PS3 and 360.
3DS is ugly and lame and Wii U will be out dated when PS4 and 3rd Xbox are shown. Wii U already is kinda an fail.
Bit harsh, considering that the Wii U is still in development. I think a lot of gamers may have brought the wii to catch up on Ninty's libary of games. The 3DS does have potential even though i despise 3D, if ninty are clever, they can bring us some fantastic remakes of some of their older titles or rerelease entire collections on it.
"3DS is ugly and lame", sounds a bit of a fanboy bash imo. ;)
Watchful	 26/10/11, 16:15
At this point in their hardware lifecycles – Wii/DS/DSi on the way out, 3DS still trying to get established ahead of its big Nintendo franchise releases – it not really surprising that revenue is down.
Add the loss of revenue from the 3DS price cut, on-going development costs for the Wii U and their foreign exchange woes and the surprising news would be that they'd even managed to break even.
Microsoft and Sony were doing no better (cf. much worse) during their own last transitional phases between hardware cycles.
This is true – I seem to recall a certain beloved black box (nothing to do with airplanes or the song 'Ride on Time' either before anyone points that out!) making losses month after month at the beginning of its lifecycle.
I actually have no idea if they have even made up the losses now tbh.
Not really the same thing.
Sony and Microsoft have always sold consoles at a loss and recouped (or attempted to) their losses via game sales and later console sales (after manufacturing efficiency increases lead to reduced costs without an equivalent decrease in console price). The consoles are loss leaders and the games/accessories make money.
Nintendo follows a different business model by selling their consoles at a profit from launch then making even more money selling games. Hence why they survived so long even after the poor showing of gamecube and the like, everything they sell makes them money.
So for them to require a noticeable price-drop weeks after launch and (if reports are to be belived) sell the 3DS at a loss that would be a massive departure from their usual "sell everything at a profit from the start" business model.
So comparing MS/Sony making losses on their hardware to Nintendo is comparing chalk and cheese, in the first instance hardware losses are expected and part of their business model, in the second it's a massive departure from their long-standing business model and new territory for them (and it's highly likely they didn't even plan for this scenario as it's such a departure from their normal business processes).
And remember, unlike Sony/Microsoft, Nintendo doesn't have a non-game business area to support their gaming division.
Although the interesting question is how much of this loss is uncapitalised R&D on the Wii-U.
a inferior race	 26/10/11, 21:42
I'm pretty sure the NES and possibly SNES were sold at a loss.
bacon_nuts	 27/10/11, 01:41
100 billion yen – I don't even know how much that is.. I've got £15 on me at the minute, anywhere near..?
TheDeathAvenger	 27/10/11, 16:45
I think 100 billion is the same as one hundred thousand million, meaning 100 billion yen is about 820 million quid, I think.
That's if 1 yen is still about 0.82 pence (£0.0082).

UFC fans are worried for Jose Aldo as weight cut photos emerge ahead of his bantamweight debut
Jose Aldo will make his bantamweight debut next weekend at UFC 245, but many fans are concerned about his weight cutting ahead of the fight.
For 15 years, Jose Aldo was dominant in the sport of MMA in the featherweight division, having the most successful title defenses in UFC featherweight history with seven as a two-time UFC Featherweight Champion.
However, at UFC 245 on December 15 when he faces Marlon Moraes, Aldo will drop weight and compete in the bantamweight division for the first time in his career.
Photos have emerged showing the Brazilian fighter a week before his bantamweight debut and many fans are concerned by his weight cut in preparation for the fight.
One fan said: "I just hope he is healthy. He looks bad." Another added: "Not a fan of the cut but wherever Aldo goes he has my support."
Dana White will be working with Mayweather in 2020
Simulation of Khabib vs Tony Ferguson
Simulation of Conor McGregor vs Donald Cerrone
It's quite clear that there are some UFC fans that don't think it was a good idea for the former featherweight champion to cut weight to fight in the bantamweight division.
The photos of Aldo have caused such a stir, even Notorious Conor McGregor has reacted to them, but it's safe to say he doesn't agree with most fans' opinions.
However, during a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Aldo himself said his weight cut ahead of his bantamweight debut is going well and that he is feeling great ahead of the fight.
He said: "The process is still going on, we're entering the final stage now. The weight cut is going smooth. I thought it would be more complicated since I never went through a diet before, never did something like this.
"I usually just cut weight during fight week, but this time I had a diet. Man, as incredible as it sounds, I'm feeling great, fast, stronger, so it's been fine. I have the support of great professionals by my side so everything will be alright."
Aldo, who holds a 28-5 MMA record, was last seen in action at May's UFC 237 in Rio, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkanovski.
His UFC 245 opponent, Moraes (22-6-1 MMA record), will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since he was defeated via TKO by Henry Cejudo at UFC 238.
While fans will be looking forward to seeing Aldo compete at bantamweight, it's clear to see that there are many that are hoping he doesn't have to cut anymore weight ahead of the fight.

Sea surface currents, temperature, chlorophyll concentration and altimetry provide essential data for efficient and productive fishing and a better understanding of the behavior of fish (pelagic fish in particular) and better target fishing zones.
MaxSea TimeZero Plot offers an accurate, detailed display of the surface temperature, obtained via satellite. Each new version of MaxSea offers data that is increasingly global and more and more accurate.
The most important point is to clearly identify "rupture zones", or in other words, thermal fronts where masses of water of different temperatures converge (in this image, a red zone, which is hotter, is encountering a yellow zone, which is colder). Fronts are likely to shelter more bait fish and therefore fish (mainly pelagic fish).
MaxSea TimeZero allows the selective display of a specific range of sea surface temperature, when targeting specific conditions.
Altimetry is an anomaly in the surface water height, in relation to a referenced mean sea surface height. These surface height measurements indicate the below surface temperature of water columns which change less quickly than the surface temperature.
The warmer the water is, the more the anomaly will be "positive" (higher than the referenced mean surface height) and vice versa.
The altimetry is obtained by radar detection. Unlike the surface temperature, sensing it is not susceptible to the presence of clouds. It therefore provides efficient information supplemental to the surface temperature. Here too, the zones where masses of warm water and cold water converge are the most interesting.
Thanks to MaxSea it is easy to use graphical display, it is easy to determine potentially fruitful fishing zones.
The fronts between warm and cold zones (between positive and negative anomalies) are zones where pelagic fish and particularly tuna are more likely to be present.
Indicating rising water and therefore rising nutrients and phytoplankton. Cold eddies are zones where pelagic fish are likely to find their food. Surface currents and eddy zones offer highly complementary, useful data, completely free of charge and on a flexible basis via the MaxSea Chopper interface (choice of zone, size of the zone, etc.).
Chlorophyll concentration is a measure of the abundance of algae, also called phytoplankton, which account for most of the plant production in the ocean. Phytoplankton is difficult to measure directly, yet they are the direct or indirect source of food for most marine animals. MaxSea Chopper interface allows you to consult Data of Chlorophyll Concentration indicated in mg/m3.
With MaxSea TimeZero Plot, enjoy the benefit of free and accurate oceanographic data in order to identify your potential fishing zones, save fuel, time and operating costs, and achieve higher performance.


Sandwich Loaf - Gluten, grain and refined sugar-free!
I was on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) quiet a long time before I dared to make a sandwich loaf. I worried that being the bread-lover that I was, no grain-free bread would ever live up. However, as the summer approached this year I needed a good sandwich loaf for convenience. We love family picnics. One of favourite things to do at the weekend is pack up the car for the day and set off in any direction. Nothing beats the freedom of staying outside in the fresh air all day and visiting places we've never been.
Family picnics require a robust sandwich loaf that will hold all our toppings! I love salads but there is something amazing about tucking into a sandwich for the first time in nearly two years. I tried many grain-free bread recipes in the past and eventually gave up as they were stodgy and too heavy. Determined to make a light and delicious sandwich loaf, I experimented until I eventually came up with this recipe, which I am very proud of.
The loaf keeps really well for a week in an airtight container in the fridge. It's perfect for sweet or savoury toppings and even makes a fantastic french toast! This freezes really well so when you can, double the recipe. You can either freeze it as an a loaf or slice and freeze them separately.
A delicious gluten and grain-free, robust sandwich bread. Great for picnics or lunches. Also, suitable for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).
Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan, 180°C electric, 350°F or gas mark 4.
Combine all the ingredients in a powerful blender and blend until well combined. Pour into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked and golden brown.
Hi there, can you please tell me the size of the baking pan you use. Is it the "standard" SCD pan 4×7 or 5×8 or anything bigger ? Thanks.
I used a standard 5×8 inch loaf pan. Hope it turns out well for you!
In the uk I can't find dry curd cottage cheese can you suggest a substitute please?


When Eli 3.7 got up this morning, he decided that he wanted to wear some overalls that haven't fit him for about a year. They have a little bear or a zebra or a headless zombie or something on them and he's very attached. When Gloria told him that he couldn't wear them because they didn't fit, he had a total meltdown. Not throwing a fit, but weeping in despair that he couldn't wear his toddler clothes.
Plus these overalls are so big that they still fit in places, but they're way too short. The pants go up about four inches on his leg. Once he put them on, though, it was done. Gloria shrugged and started calling him Huck Finn.
Another bonus is that Eli can't really unbutton them, so when he needs to go to the bathroom he'll yell "HELP!" and Gloria has to do a Jackie Chan to get across the living room and in to the bathroom on time.
I stopped at Gymboree on the way home to look for a bigger pair of overalls, so that we could retire the trailer park fishing pants. Gymboree, in case you don't have kids, trades on "cute." Everything's supposed to be so gosh-darn cute that you don't even bother looking at the price tag. I would normally never go there, but it's just a short walk from where I work, and it's a nice day, so I gave in.
If you go into Gymboree, you're expected to talk from the second you walk in until you leave the store. Customers, clerks, kids--they're all yacking non-stop. It sounds like a hundred birds on a restaurant patio, fighting for table scraps.
So I did what I usually do, which is look for clothes for five minutes and stand in line for fifteen. At Gymboree, the shopping experience has only just begun when you get into line. It's in the employee handbook that you must be asked at least ten questions in the course of checking out. Multiply that by four people in line ahead of you and it's a long wait.
When I finally get up to the counter, the bonus experience begins. I picked out a little summer outfit that will make Eli look vaguely like Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter), who he thinks is hilarious.
The clerk picks up the shirt.
"Oh, this shirt is so cute," she says. She spends thirty seconds looking for the tag, then scans it. "We have some other shirts with birds on them instead of bugs."
"Thanks, I think I've got it all," I said.
She picks up the shorts.
"These are my favorite shorts," she says. Another thirty seconds on the tag. "We had these last summer, and when they went away for fall I was just crushed."
She picks up the hat.
"Isn't this hat wonderful?" At this point, I'm wondering if I could pretend to have suddenly gone deaf. Perhaps if I waved my arms wildly and pointed to my ears.
But that's all wrong. It's just a short term solution. What I need to do is learn just enough of an obscure foreign language to speak to the clerk, then use hand signals to complete the transaction. Tosk, perhaps, or possibly Gheg. Now that's planning for the future.
"That will be nine million dollars," she says. "Do you have any Gymbucks?" she asks. I've entered a children's store, waited in line for an interminable length of time, and now I find myself in an imaginary currency discussion. It's not a retail store--it's one step away from a barter economy. I'll have to bring a wheel of cheese next time to complete a transaction. I AM IN HELL.
I just got home, and after posting this, I'm going online to buy a video course.

With no teams outside of the Western Athletic Conference competing on Thursday at Willow Tree Golf Course during the Liberal Invitational, the Garden City High School Lady Buffaloes golf team swept past its WAC opponents in convincing fashion.
The 9-hole tournament, contested on the par-36 layout, saw senior Abbi Shaddix continue her torrid play by shooting a 3-under-par 33 to win by six shots and help the Lady Buffs to a 168 total, 15 shots clear of runner-up Hays (183). Dodge City (203), Great Bend (208) and Liberal (216) rounded out the team scores.
For coach Melinda Base, one of the pleasant surprises came from Megan Steward, whose 3-over 39 was good for second place as she shot her lowest competitive round.
"All day she kept saying that she was playing well, and she usually doesn't say much," Base said of Steward. "It's great to see her playing up to her potential."
But that wasn't all for the Lady Buffs as Lindsay Bradstreet shot a 45 and took fifth place to help GCHS to its team triumph.
It was Shaddix, though, who led the way.
"Abbi played so well today, and considering how windy it was, I was pretty shocked at the scores we had," Base said. "I was pleased with the way they battled and came through."
Hannah Leiker's 51 rounded out the four scores that counted for the Lady Buffs. Danielle Gaspar and Kendra Martin came in with a 52 and 56, respectively.
"Lindsay's group had some rough holes and I think if she had been in a different group where they could have played a little quicker, she would have shot better, too," Base said. "Taking that into consideration, I thought she played well."
Developing depth and seeing the younger players improve provides some confidence as the team heads toward the postseason in a few weeks.
"With these kinds of scores, I now feel we can move forward and compete with other teams," Base said.
Hays High's Lexi Schaben and Katy Brungardt each shot 43s to take third and fourth place.
Next up for the Lady Buffs will be Wednesday at the Wichita Northwest Invitational, which will be played at Sim Park Golf Course. A year ago, Shaddix blistered the course with a 5-under-par 66, to claim the NW title. On Thursday, the team will travel to the Hutchinson Invitational.
