Mud Media
Walking the walk…
Dianna Malcolm (nee Leslie) helped revolutionise marketing within agriculture in Australasia – leading by example – while simultaneously helping others find their own voice.
She has returned to her home at Ohoka, after 20 years working in farming and print and television media in Australia, to establish her freelance media company – Mud Media.
Her love for effective and colourful communication was ignited during the decade she spent working as a sports journalist at "The Press". She later returned to her farming roots, taking up a position as the Farming Editor at "The Press", before moving to Australia and settling in northern Victoria with her husband, Dean.
She worked as the Farming Editor at the Shepparton News, before being head-hunted to work for WIN Television [WIN broadcasts into 29 markets across six states of Australia].
Runs on the board
In 2003 Dianna and Dean established an independent full-colour gloss magazine for the dairy industry, CrazyCow In Print, which was circulated to 15 countries, and peaked at165 pages. It was bought by McPherson Media in 2018.
The couple also founded their Holstein show herd, Bluechip Genetics in 2006. They won Premier Holstein Breeder at International Dairy Week – the biggest dairy show in the Southern Hemisphere – nine out of 10 years. It remains an unprecedented record, and is included in a stream of accolades the couple amassed during their farming and marketing journey.
Bluechip also managed animals for up to 30 international partners, while mentoring and providing a learning platform for many young people within the global industry.
Bluechip broke three Australasian price records at auction, peaking at AUD$101,000 for a three-month-old calf in 2012. They dispersed their herd for an Australasian record average (AUD$6400) and gross in 2016 – during yet another gruelling Australian season.
Media revolution
Dianna's reputation for finding the story angles that others didn't, was equalled by her industry's global acknowledgement of her stockmanship, work ethic, and ability to help drive Bluechip's businesses.
She's also worked with several high-profile companies in public relations during her time in Australia, including Semex Australia and World Wide Sires (in the USA, Australia and New Zealand).
Dianna is comfortable finding the angles for copy within any medium or industry.
While she has a specialist knowledge within agriculture, her gift is delivering messages others can engage with – regardless of the audience.
"In marketing, I truly believe that making the connection is what makes the difference," Dianna says.
"And, that comes down to who tells the story, and how they tell it. For me, that continues to be underestimated across many agricultural sectors.
And, one thing that hasn't changed in marketing is, 'If you do nothing, nothing will happen'.
"I believe it's important to share your journey. I've done it, I've lived with the result, and I now want to use that experience and 'life experience' to hopefully help others with their own journey.
"At my core, I love the power of communication."
What the international community thinks…
"I've worked with Dianna for a number of years, and she is one in a million. Whether collaborating together or reading a story she wrote for CrazyCow, I have long admired her ability to put emotion into words...to tell the story behind the obvious...and to give her readers the three dimensional view of the subject. She's one of the best in the business, if not in the entire journalism industry!" – Karen Wheatley, former Holstein World editor, USA.
"Dianna has been a tireless and enthusiastic worker in whatever task she has tackled. Coupled with her intelligence and 'people skills', no-one is better equipped to handle any job thrown her way. For my money, if someone needed a PR person in agriculture, they should look no further than Dianna." – Norman E. Nabholz, Nabholz Farm, West Union, Iowa, USA
"My professional relationship and our personal friendship covers a period of close to 20 years. During that time Dianna was Contracted to Semex Pty Ltd as a professional writer and journalist to cover interest subjects of our Artificial Breeding business that we needed the public to know about and to better understand the quality of our products and our people and their passion to improve the breeding herds of our customers. Fortunately for us, Dianna shared the same passion for agriculture, livestock and people that we did and so our work together was highly admired by our customers and envied by our competitors. In my 50 years in the AI Industry I met and worked with many wonderful people of varying skills and interests, but only a very few who would match Dianna for integrity, ability and extreme work ethic. Consequently Dianna carries my highest recommendation to any organisation who considers engaging her professional services." – Jim Conroy OAM, former owner of Semex Australia & New Zealand.
"I have been reading articles written by Dianna Malcolm since the first edition of CrazyCow In Print was launched in January 2004. I have always found her writing to be informative, getting to the nitty gritty of the subject with a style of her own. She has covered international and domestic events over the 16 years, and the standard and enthusiasm with which she reports is also entertaining. Above all, I like the way she gets her subjects' personal opinions right from the horse's mouth, as it were. I know many of the people she has interviewed and without exception they are very happy with the end result." – Duncan Pipe, Clover-Lane Holsteins, Waikato, NZ
"Dianna has an innate talent to connect to the subject matter she is writing about. She brings that passion and ability to tell a great story that takes the reader on a journey that is colorful and gets to the heart of the matter." – Andrew Hunt, The Bullvine, Canada.
"Dianna Leslie was an outstanding member of our reporting team. Her intelligent journalism gained her the highest respect from her peers, and we dearly missed her vivacious personality." – Helen Ballard, WIN TV Bureau Chief, Australia.
"From the moment Dianna started contributing to our publication it was clear she has an innate and unique ability to connect and empathise with whatever story she is working on and deliver it to our audience in an understandable and personal way. She is highly skilled in finding the story behind the story. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Dianna as a contributor to our publication and I cannot recommend her highly enough to her potential clients." – Martyn Cook, The Waimak App

The first two photographs below show Anne with her favourite horses. These have been scanned from large prints that she kept until her death; on the one showing the horse and cart she has written Flower, the name of the horse presumably. In the second picture the two horses are harnessed to a harrow, hard to see on the rough ground. My mother vividly recalled Anne bringing one of the horses (Flower, perhaps) round to our home in Bedford. When she opened the back door she found herself face to face with the horse. Anne had intended it as a surprise for me but it turned out more of a shock for my mother. I have no memory of this so I was probably still quite young, 1943 perhaps.
The third of Anne's prints shows a parade for a royal visit on 14 Feb 1946, actually the first solo public engagement for the 19 year old Princess Elizabeth and intended to thank the Bedfordshire Land Girls for their contribution to the war effort. (Most of them left the service soon after.) Anne is seen driving the first of the carts from Tinsley's farm and she had also been selected to present the princess with a commemorative booklet bound in vellum. Curiously, this was not something that she ever talked about and I only found out about it when I was told of the Bedfordshire WLA web site. It seems possible that a press photographer took all three pictures at about the same time because Anne had been chosen to make the presentation. However it is clear that three different horses are shown.
The picture of Princess Elizabeth was taken at the parade and comes from the Bedfordshire press archives. The picture of the parade seems most likely to have been taken by a photographer working for the Times (of London). Prints were available for purchase by the public.

If your kid yearns for a specific style that isn't really readily available for store purchase, you could handle the job of making them something unique. Include your kid's favorite animal or style to a decorative pillow. Just print an image onto the transfer paper and afterwards iron on to a pillow case or on material that you will make use of to make a bedspread. Even in the kids' rooms, window therapies should coordinate with whatever design is shown on bedspreads and accent pillows so the space looks put together.

Q: creating files for displaying different custom post type posts with paging I have the following post types:
Post - wordpress built in
Documents - custom post type
Videos - custom post type
I am very new to wordpress and I do not understand the template structure. I am creating template from scratch.
I have created static front-page that lists recent "posts", recent "documents" and recent "videos". SO I do not want to use front-page to display all posts.
I am using %postype% permalink structure and I am also able to display single item from each custom post type.
What I cannot do is:

*

*I need to have link like mypage.com/posts (or very similar) to display a list of posts with paging (10 posts per page)

*I need to have link like mypage.com/videos (or very similar) to display a list of videos with paging (10 posts per page)

*I need to have link like mypage.com/documents (or very similar) to display a list of documents with paging (10 posts per page)

I understand how to retrieve 10 posts and I will probably be able to create paging, but I do not understand template structure and heararchy and routing.
Questions
How to name the file(s) where I should add my php code (based on wordpress traditional naming)?
Should I create some dummy pages?
How to make routing work and take code from my newly created php file(s)?

Also I am not sure if this would be correct to call this archive or not taking into account that later I need to filter also posts by date combining all post types in the list.

A: You don't have to create any dummy page for custom post types, as those archive pages are just an automated process and named using the post type object name.
To make sure your Custom Registered Post Type uses/support archive page, set the parameter 'has_archive' => 'documents' for Document & 'has_archive' => 'videos' for Video.
register_post_type( 'video', array(
    'labels'      => '....',
    'has_archive' => 'videos'
) );
register_post_type( 'document', array(
    'labels'      => '....',
    'has_archive' => 'documents'
) );

Now, you can create two files in your theme folder to display both archive or you can use the default one archive.php.
For documents archive, the filename would be archive-document.php
For videos archive, the filename would be archive-video.php
The archive page template file for the default post type post is home.php. If you want to display posts at site.com/posts, just simply create a dummy page using slug 'posts', and set the "Front page displays" (wp admin -> settings -> reading) option to "A Static page", and set the "Posts page:" to the newly created posts page.
However, common practices are different. What most of the people does is to make the index.php file adoptable. So regardless of post type, it display posts simply. A simple index.php file looks like the following -
<?php get_header(); // this gets the header.php file ?>
<?php if( have_posts() ) : // this checks if current query have posts ?>
    <?php while( have_posts() ): // this trigger looping through each of the post ?>
        <?php the_post(); ?>

        <?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php the_content(); ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); // this gets the footer.php file ?>

If your theme directory don't have a archive.php or archive-{$post_type}.php file, then for any kind of post type archive page, index.php file will be called. the_title() function displays the title, the_content() displays the content of that post.
You really don't have to care about routing for archive page as WordPress does it within core. Including the pagination - site.com/videos/page/2/.

Philip Freelon, "the most significant African American architect in recent history", dies aged 66
Philip Freelon, the architect behind major buildings dedicated to black culture in the US, including Washington DC's National Museum of African American History and San Francisco's Museum of the African Diaspora, has passed away.
The African American architect died Monday 9 July 2019 in North Carolina, where he founded his architecture firm The Freelon Group back in 1990.
Freelon designed the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which opened in September 2016 in the US capitol, in collaboration with British firm Adjaye Associates, and US firms Davis Brody Bond and SmithGroup.
British-Ghanian architect David Adjaye said that he was "deeply saddened by the loss of Phil Freelon".
"He leaves behind an indelible mark on the practice of architecture and his legacy transcends the brick and mortar of the buildings he designed," Adjaye added. Freelon's most notable work is the National Museum of African American History. Photograph by Darren Bradley
"Phil was a pioneer, an advocate of diversity and inclusion, and his impact will only strengthen over time as we continue to see people of colour rising in the field of architecture," Adjaye continued. "More than anything, however, Phil was a dear friend and mentor."
NMAAHC is a key example of Freelon's dedication to creating buildings and spaces that honour social equality during his 42 years of practice. His projects include eight museums, seven laboratori...

Terms with similar etymology are additionally utilized in various social sciences and humanities to describe matriarchal or matriological elements of social, cultural and political processes.[citation needed] Adjective matriological is derived from the noun matriology that comes from Latin word māter (mother) and Greek phrase λογος (logos, teaching about).[quotation needed] The term matriology was used in theology and history of faith as a designation for the study of particular motherly aspects of assorted feminine deities.[citation wanted] The term was subsequently borrowed by different social sciences and humanities and its meaning was widened to be able to describe and outline particular feminine-dominated and female-centered elements of cultural and social life.[citation wanted] The male alternative for matriology is patriology,[citation wanted] with patriarchy being the male alternative to matriarchy[30][pages needed].
Although more women attended college, it was usually expected that they attended to find a spouse—the so-called "M.R.S. degree". Nevertheless, Labor pressure participation by women nonetheless grew significantly.
Several states crafted and adopted their very own equal rights amendments in the course of the Seventies and Nineteen Eighties, while the ERA was before the states, or afterward. The creation of Reformism during the nineteenth century opened new alternatives for reformers to address issues going through women and launched the feminist movement. The first organised movement for British women's suffrage was the Langham Place Circle of the 1850s, led by Barbara Bodichon (née Leigh-Smith) and Bessie Rayner Parkes. They also campaigned for improved feminine rights within the regulation, employment, schooling, and marriage. Changing the organizational sexual tradition, e.g., breaking down traditional gender roles and reevaluating societal concepts of femininity and masculinity (a standard demand in US universities during the 1980s).
This society linked smaller teams collectively and likewise put stress on non-supportive MPs utilizing varied peaceable methods. In 1868, native teams amalgamated to kind a series of shut-knit groups with the founding of the National Society for Women's Suffrage (NSWS).
Metaphors are utilized in everyday language and have turn into a way that folks describe the world. Martin explains that these metaphors structure how individuals suppose and with regard to science can shape what questions are being requested. If the best questions aren't being asked then the answers are not going to be the right either. For instance, the aggressive sperm and passive egg is a metaphor that felt 'natural' to folks in history but as scientists have reexamined this phenomenon they've come up with a brand new reply.

Although there's evidence to suggest that they were originally fashioned to promote female franchise (the primary being in Bristol in 1881), WLAs typically didn't maintain such an agenda. They did, however, operate independently from the male groups. They grew to become extra energetic once they came beneath the control of the Women's Liberal Federation, and canvassed all courses for assist of ladies's suffrage and against domination. The Primrose League was set up to promote Conservative values by way of social occasions and supporting the group.

Up till 1897, the marketing campaign stayed at this comparatively ineffective degree. Campaigners got here predominantly from the landed courses and joined together on a small scale solely.

Gender stereotype variations in cultures: East and West
Firestone writes that patriarchal ideologies support the oppression of women and gives as an example the joy of giving start, which she labels a patriarchal fable. For Firestone, women must achieve control over replica to be able to be free from oppression.[24] Feminist historian Gerda Lerner believes that male management over women's sexuality and reproductive capabilities is a elementary cause and result of patriarchy.[28] Alison Jaggar also understands patriarchy as the first cause of girls's oppression. The system of patriarchy accomplishes this by alienating women from their our bodies. The 1870 US Census was the first United States Census to depend "females engaged in every occupation" and supplies an intriguing snapshot of girls's history.
pp. eight–11. ISBN . This is known as organic determinism, which explores the distinction between the sexes in the hormonal, organic background. Thus, the evolution of science in a patriarchal society's focus begins with man and woman.
In this, they typically form tactical alliances with other currents of feminism. The Women's motion effected change in Western society, together with women's suffrage, the proper to initiate divorce proceedings and "no fault" divorce, the right of ladies to make particular person selections relating to being pregnant (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the right to personal property.[9] It has also led to broad employment for ladies at more equitable wages, and entry to school schooling. Congress included inside the text of the EPA a clear and concise coverage statement and briefly described the issues it was intended to remedy. The clear assertion of Congressional intent and coverage guiding the EPA's enactment point out the Congressional desire to trend a broad remedial framework to guard staff from wage discrimination on the idea of sex.
Matriarchy is also the public formation by which the girl occupies the ruling place in a household.[2] For this utilization, some students now prefer the term matrifocal to matriarchal.[citation wanted] Some, including Daniel Moynihan, claimed that there is a matriarchy amongst Black households in the United States,[24][b] as a result of 1 / 4 of them had been headed by single women;[25] thus, households composing a substantial hot british woman minority of a considerable minority could be enough for the latter to represent a matriarchy inside a larger non-matriarchal society. Feminism, as I perceive it, arises in resistance to the gender binary enforced by the patriarchy, an injustice that's as dangerous to men as it is to women, as we can see within the lengthy historical past of unjust wars, rationalized by patriarchy, by which men have fought and been killed and injured and traumatized. Lerner, Gerda (1986).

Beherit - At the Devil's Studio 1990 (2011)
Album | At the Devil's Studio 1990
Genre | Black Metal
Label | Kvlt
| Nocturnal evil |
Beherit had been out of activity for almost fifteen years when they made their return with the well known, but still legit fourth full length album Engram. I tend to think of their discography as a collection that doesn't contain the two electronic efforts they released, not because I don't like them but because they have a completely different sound. If they were a side project by Holocausto (that many bands do) it might have been better. Yet, I don't have the same problem with the Burzum case so I guess it's just my personal disfunction with these guys, always forgetting the 1994-1996 work.
It seems like a main member of the band, Sodomatic Slaughter, found a tape of the mixes of what could easily be the first full length album by Beherit, before Drawing Down the Moon. For their own reasons, they weren't able to release this album so it was buried by time, only to arrive in 2010. Of course, they would cease the moment and immediately release it, fetching the fans with more, unheard material of their kvlt days, even older than their opus in 1993. In At the Devil's Studio 1990, there are two unreleased songs, as well as different versions of their old tracks, so I guess it's already easy to guess what this contains.
It's not clear to me, why they decided to release this as a full length, and not as a compilation, since it's just a collection of old tracks. In fact, it has the exact track listing structure of new, pointless compilations: demo / rehearsal versions of known tracks plus a couple of new ones. Even if it was intended to be a full length album twenty years ago, it's not how it should be released today and they could have chosen a better format. Of course it doesn't make the tinniest difference whatsoever, since the music would be the same either way, but still it bothers me, for some reason.
Maybe it's not right to judge this album, since it wasn't released as a new effort by the band but mostly for archival purposes, they know old record hunters are dying for anything that was released a bunch of years ago. I would also release a tape of my two decade old music, especially if I had built a legit name back then. Imagine being a die-hard fan of the band, I think you would have been filled with joy listening to the news on this record and you would save money for an LP as well, just for the sake of the collection. I made the mistake and listened to this as if it was a real record, and there it has nothing more than mediocre, monotonous black / death, half the size of Profanatica's dicks.
The production is quite dirty and a bit sloppy, as the volume of the guitars is higher than needed, covering the sound of the drums (I could only listen to the cymbals, unless I wanted to hurt my ears trying to find the rest of the kit) and the gargling vocals. It's sound is naturally affiliated with their demos at the time, which is understandable but still somehow unbearable, making me think that it would be so much better if they completely re-recorded it. Then, it might fit the title of a full length as well, or at least it would get a little bit closer. I don't have many comments to make on At the Devil's Studio 1990. If you are a fan, you will enjoy it. If you try to review it objectively, in the 21st century and not in 1990, you will see that it's frustrating and boring.

Local workers - Hours worked - All industries
22.5% of local workers in the Cook Shire are employed part-time and 74.8% are employed full-time.
Hours Worked statistics shows the distribution of employment hours in Cook Shire Council across each industry sector. Full-time employment is considered 35-hours and over.
The hours worked by employed people in a particular industry depend on a number of factors:
The availability and take-up of part-time work in the industry;
The demands of jobs in the industry and requirement to work overtime;
The age and family responsibilities of people working in the industry; and
The gender profile of workers in the industry (due to family commitments, females are often more likely to work part-time).
Hours Worked data should be viewed in conjunction with Age structure, Occupation and Income.
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) – Census 2016 – by place of work
Please note – The 2016 Census used a new methodology to "impute" a work location to people who didn't state their workplace address. As a result, 2016 and 2011 place of work data are not normally comparable. To allow comparison between 2011 and 2016, .id has sourced a 2011 dataset from the ABS which was experimentally imputed using the same methodology. However this dataset is NOT available at the Local Government Area level, and had to be matched using a best fit of work destination zones (DZNs) to the current LGA boundaries. Cook Shire is one area for which there is no good match of 2011 DZNs to 2016 LGA boundaries, so there is no reasonable data comparison between 2011 and 2016 for this area. 2011 data has been turned off and is currently unavailable for comparison for the Cook Shire.

CPW Accepting Applications for Colorado Sportsmen's Roundtable Mia Anstine - Encouraging everyone to get outside, hunt, fish, shoot, and survive life with others in a positive way.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is accepting applications for a two-year membership to the statewide Colorado Sportsmen's Roundtable. The application period is open Monday, April 18 through 5 p.m. Monday, May 2, 2016.
Participating in an in-person meeting twice a year at meeting locations that rotate around the state.
Participating in conference calls every two to three months.
Sharing information and ideas with Roundtable members and senior CPW staff on pressing issues.
Sharing your contact information on the CPW Roundtable webpage and being available to sportsmen around the state to share and discuss information pertinent to the Roundtable.
The two-year term runs from August 2016 through July 2018. Volunteering for the Sportsmen's Roundtable is a great opportunity to share information with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on recreation and management issues that are relevant to hunters, anglers, and trappers. Be an integral part of the conversation!
Fill out the application available online by the deadline. CPW staff will make selections and notify you about whether or not you are selected. For more information about the process or a print version of the application, please visit our website at http://cpw.state.co.us or contact Jody Kennedy at (303) 866-3203 x 4671 or jody.kennedy@state.co.us.
Hunters and anglers are vitally important to Colorado Parks and Wildlife and to the successful management of Colorado's wildlife. Sportsmen are directly affected by the agency's fish and wildlife management decisions and provide much of the funding for wildlife conservation in the state. Colorado Parks and Wildlife encourages effective channels for consulting with the state's hunters and anglers through the Sportsmen's Roundtable and Regional Sportsmen's Caucuses.
The Sportsmen's Roundtable is a statewide panel comprised of 16 or more statewide members appointed by CPW and at least two delegates from each of four Sportsmen's Regional Caucuses. The statewide Roundtable meets in person twice a year to help the agency by sharing information, discussing important topics and identifying emerging issues. Four Regional Sportsmen's Caucuses also hold meetings twice a year. Caucus meetings are open to all local hunters and anglers to discuss regional issues. Caucus delegates then share this information with the statewide Roundtable. Caucus delegates are selected through a separate process determined by sportsmen who participate in the Regional Caucus meetings.

Welcome to the one hundred and eighth edition of RPGamer's Currents Column!
The Column is back in its usual format. News was slow after Run to the Sun, but things have finally picked up and I have a few interesting stories for all of you. Oh, and now that ComiCon has come and gone, I'd be interested to hear from readers who attended the show this year. How was it? Hopefully, I'll get the chance to go next year.
Sony has sold 1.1 million PlayStation 3 units and 1.3 million PSP units in Q1. This is a 37.4% drop from last year. There was also a drop in Sony's software sales. PlayStation 3 software sold 14.8 million units and PSP software sold only 11.8 million units. This is a drop from Q1 2008 statistics that were 22.8 million and 8.3 million, respectively. On the other hand, PlayStation 2 hardware sales were up from 1.51 million units in Q1 2008 to 8.3 million units in Q1 2009.
For the DS, Nintendo only sold 5.97 million units this year, lower than Q1 2008 when it sold 6.94 million units. Software for the DS was also down Q1 where it only sold 29.09 million units, lower than the 36.69 million units sold last year. For the first time in a long time, Wii sales are also down. Nintendo sold 2.23 million units in Q1 2009, while in Q1 2008, it sold 5.17 million units. Software also dropped with only 31.07 units compared to 40.41 million units. As a result, Nintendo has had a 40% drop in net sales to $2.65 billion and a 60.61% drop in net operating income to $422.5 million.
Game companies aren't the only ones feeling the pinch because of declining game sales. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Amazon has seen a drop in profits by about 10% from $158 million to $142 million. Amazon's Chief Financial Officer Tom Szkutak states that it's because of a slowdown in selling video games and consoles, but other reasons may also include a slowdown in selling media like books and music and a $51 million legal settlement paid to Toys R' Us.
Those stats pretty much speak for themselves. Things are tough for just about everybody. Thankfully the game industry is resilient. After all, the gigantic holiday rush will soon be upon us.
It would seem that the only positive growth in the market nowadays involves digital goods. Valve's, IGN's, and Microsoft's digital distribution platforms have been performing remarkably well over the past twelve months. How well you ask? Well I made a nice little chart showing you just how much sales have increased.
Collectors, be damned everything is going digital. It looks like those numbers are only going to grow as broadband penetration continues to rise and as Sony expands its digital distribution platform with the PSPGo. Good thing harddrives are dirt cheap!
Latino children play more video games than white children. And they're really not able to play themselves. For identity formation, that's a problem. And for generating interest in technology, it may place underrepresented groups behind the curve.
Ironically, they may even be less likely to become game makers themselves, helping to perpetuate the cycle. Many have suggested that games function as crucial gatekeepers for interest in science, technology, engineering and math.
It may not seem like a big deal to many, but it is something a lot of minority gamers start to notice after awhile. Personally, after growing up gaming my whole life, I would get really excited to get the chance to play a character that looked anything like me. Whether you are Latino, homosexual, a woman, Middle Eastern, or any numerous other minorities, people actually do notice when 80% of the characters they interact with fit a specific mold. Now that gaming has become more mainstream, playing as characters with more diverse histories, orientations, genders, and skin tones certainly is more appealing than ever to gamers, especially when those minority roles aren't token characters or stereotypes. Hey, if anything, all this means is more games need a character creation system on par with games like Fallout 3. No complaints there right?
At the end of the day, what I really want to get across is that relating to a character is not dependent on where you are from, it's just that over time people begin to notice a lack of diversity here and there. Oh, and that games would be more interesting with a wide range of main character archetypes.
I don't usually cover MMOs in my column since there already is an MMO column here on the site. All the same, this was pretty interesting, so I decided to touch upon it quickly. The NPD Group reports that World of Warcraft has sold about 8.6 million copies since its release in November 2004. This amounts to about $258 million total in the U.S. when assuming that the game costs about $19.95 and each expansion pack and compilation costs as much as $39.95. This doesn't even include the amount that people pay for the monthly service.
That, my friends, is why Blizzard is king. All that aside, Blizzcon is coming up in a few weeks. The event is sure to bring with it a fair bit of exciting news, but most importantly, it will unite a lot of friends and guild mates. I'm curious how many RPGamer readers will be attending the show. If you are going to be there, let us know.
Nintendo Japan, Europe, and Australia have updated the DSi to firmware v1.4 this week. Why is that newsworthy? Because v1.4 adds a touch of social networking to the DSi. This firmware allows users to directly upload photos taken with the DSi to their Facebook accounts. It also loads images faster on the DSi camera and gets rid of DSi-compatible flashcarts such as Acekard 2i and DSTTi. Some flashcarts don't need to worry about this because they use their own firmware, but it probably won't be long before manufacturers figure out a new way to get around this firmware update, especially since it only took one month for manufacturers to make DSi-compatible flashcarts after it was released in Japan.
Ok, that's it for this weeks column. Next month should be interesting as we approach thefFall gaming rush. Also, Blizzcon is coming at the end of August and that should be a lot of fun. Anyone else looking forward to August?
And that's the way it is. See ya all next week!

Rick Gates Pleads Guilty in Mueller Investigation
Rick Gates. Photo courtesy of CNN.
Summary: Rick Gates has pled guilty in the special counsel's investigation into Russia's alleged role in the 2016 presidential election.
On Friday, former Donald Trump campaign official Rick Gates pled guilty in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's alleged role in the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller, so far, has indicted four former Trump associates, and Gates is the third to plead guilty. Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, is the only one who has declined that option.
According to CNN, Gates pled guilty to two criminal charges, and his plea deal "will put the spotlight on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort."
Gates' deal will dismiss allegations involving money laundering and other crimes, and he will have to cooperate with Mueller's investigation by turning over documents and speaking with investigators. He may also testify in court cases and be asked to go undercover.
Gates, 45, was the right-hand-man of Manafort, who allegedly took millions of dollars from a Ukranian official. His relationship to Ukraine has given him a link to Trump and Russia, and he has possibly played a key role in Russia's meddling with the 2016 Presidential election.
In response to Gates' plea, Manafort has vowed to fight the charges.
"I continue to maintain my innocence," Manafort said. "I had hoped and expected my business colleague would have had the strength to continue the battle to prove our innocence. For reasons yet to surface he chose to do otherwise. This does not alter my commitment to defend myself against the untrue piled up charges contained in the indictments against me."
Last week, the special counsel indicted 13 Russian nationals for allegedly spreading misinformation to hurt Trump's 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Before Gates' deal, former national security advisor Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos pled guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation.
In court filings, Gates admitted to helping Manafort launder tens of millions of dollars the two men made lobbying for Ukrainian politicians. The two men illegally moved $75 million through offshore accounts, and Gates trasferred $3 million between accounts in order to evade taxes. Manafort allegedly laundered $18 million to buy homes and luxury goods.
During Gates' Friday plea, he said that he was Manafort's assistant in the crimes.
"Acting on the authority of Mr. Manafort, [Gates] routinely dealt with Mr. Manafort's tax accountants [and misled them]," prosecutor Greg Andres said.

Cut the leaves off 1 leek, then cut down into the stem and rinse under water until clean. Cut the leek in half lengthwise, then thinly slice into half rounds. Sauté the leek over low heat in the butter and olive oil, for at least 10 minutes.
Cut the savoy cabbage in half across its "equator", then cut one of the halves in half again, top to bottom. Slice the cabbage along the vertical cut, not too thin. Add 3 cups of the cabbage to the leeks and cook, stirring until the cabbage is tender. Add either the white wine, or lemon juice (if you prefer zesty flavors to sweet ones), cook for another minute, then season with salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, toast the walnuts and then toss with the cabbage.

A Separation is not just about a divorce but about religious and class divisions in Iran.
The political meaning of the movie "A Separation"
One of the universally praised films of the past 12 months is the Iranian family drama A Separation (Roger Ebert names it number 1). I saw it today and was very impressed with the acting, cinematography, emotional honesty, and depth of inquiry into the human heart, but was somewhat less carried away with the "thriller" qualities that some reviewers have mentioned. The chaotic nature of Iranian "justice" as depicted in the film is so foreign that I had a hard time connecting with it; in that respect it seemed to me like a story from the Middle Ages without the picturesque veneer afforded by chronological distance.


Oh hey, they filmed it in my city 😀 When Berlin was still a nice place.
At least he wasn't a rent boy.
So, Jason..what previous experience do you have that qualifies you to wear silver spank suit for a superhero movie?..
How nice of Erasure to play the video in Berlin at that time, near Alexander Platz, now is almost all changed!
I think the song entry into the music charts in the United Kingdom charts at no 9 dropped down to no 15 next week.
I thought that was Jason Statham!!!

With the average winter temperature in Provence hovering around a pleasant 14 degrees Celsius, this could be just the destination you're looking for in February to shrug off the post-festivity blues and get ready for the coming summer. Holiday villas in Provence will enable you to enjoy some of France's most beautiful scenery and at the same time have easy access to a range of cultural attractions in this most attractive part of the country.
There are many advantages to visiting Provence during its off-season. Flight tickets, accommodation and tours are at their cheapest from November to March, and there are many great bargains to be scooped up. Visitors to France in August, which is considered by many tourists as the peak time to go there, will find that many of the restaurants and shops are closed because the owners are off on holiday themselves. In winter, however, everyone is at home and the prices plummet because of a dearth of visitors. So you can save not only on flights and accommodation but also eating out, tours, local produce and more.
France in the summer can be overcrowded at the big resorts and in the major cities, but in February you'll be able to avoid the usual long queues and crowds, and also to feel rather less like a tourist and one of the locals. The attitude in the winter months is much serene and relaxed compared to the busy summer months.
As well as getting to see the sights more comfortably, the shopping in February is brilliant as visitors can take advantage of the many sales which are regulated by the government and which take place just twice a year, in summer and winter. By February, the sales season will be well under way and you can save substantial amounts on everything from jewellery and furniture to gift items and electrical goods.
In France there are many festivals taking place throughout the year, and February in Provence is no exception. The 'Demons and Marvels' show held in historic Avignon runs from early December to late February in the Palace of the Popes. Models of chimeras, dragons, swans and unicorns come to life to wow the audience, along with a selection of real animals, in the building once occupied by the Avignon popes. Find out more details about the festival here.
The Truffle Market in Carpentras lasts until the end of March and every Friday morning visitors can take their pick of the 'black gold' which is harvested annually at this season on the fertile slopes of nearby Mont Ventoux, measured out in traditional hand-held scales. The event attracts truffle lovers from around the world and the aroma of truffles permeates the air.
Find out more information about Carpentras here.
Provence is the ideal winter getaway destination for those who love managing their own time and making their own holiday plans. The full holiday package has become less popular with tourists who value getting close to the locals at markets and small outlets and preparing their own regional food using locally sourced produce. Self-catering villas make a great base for exploring the towns, cities and countryside of this historic French region whilst having all the comforts of home to return to in the evenings.

By Louis Guth and Dr. Michael Tennican, et al.
In this article, we present the results of our efforts to develop a measure of cash-flow-at-risk (c-far) for non-financial firms. c-far is the probability distribution of a company's operating cashflows over some horizon in the future, conditional on information available today.
For example, if it is December 31, 2000, a company's quarter-ahead c-far refers to the probability distribution of operating cashflows over the quarter ending on March 31, 2001; year-ahead c-far refers to the probability distribution of cashflows over the year ending on December 31, 2001. These probability distributions can be used to generate a variety of summary statistics, such as five-percent or one-percent "worst-case" outcomes, as in: "how much can my company's operating cashflow decline over the next year in a five-percent tail event?"
While it is easy to define the concept of c-far, it is much more difficult to come up with a reliable c-far estimate for any given company. One way to see the challenges associated with constructing a c-far measure is to compare it with the value-at-risk (VaR) measure that is commonly used by banks and other financial institutions. Although there are some obvious differences between the two, c-far focuses on cashflows while VaR focuses on asset values; c-far looks out over a horizon of a quarter or a year (while the horizon for VaR is typically measured in days or weeks); it is, nevertheless, clear that c-far is an attempt to create an analog to VaR that can be useful to non-financial firms.
In this paper, we describe how we have implemented this sort of top-down, comparable-based approach to c-far measurement. As we will explain in detail below, we use a relatively sophisticated benchmarking technique to find the best comparables for a given target company, searching for those other companies in the universe that most closely resemble our target on four dimensions: 1) market capitalization; 2) profitability; 3) industry riskiness; and 4) stock-price volatility.


Micro enterprises form an important part of Kenya's economy, comprising almost 70% of the businesses. They provide employment and a means of livelihood for many citizens. Despite their importance to the economy, up to 99% of these businesses fail within 3 years of establishment. The goals of owners of large businesses and corporations are known to affect the choice of business strategy and therefore its outcomes. This study set out to find out how owner's goals affect the business outcomes of micro enterprises. A survey of micro enterprises based at Kenyatta Market in Nairobi was carried out with participants who have been in business for more than three years. The survey involved 33 respondents, and examined their goals in starting the business, strategy choices and business outcomes. The results showed that the participants' goals were to generate income and create employment. Their preferred business strategy choice was differentiation, and a large percentage reported that their businesses were growing or surviving. The results failed to prove that a relationship exists between owner's goals and business strategy and outcomes. This study therefore can not conclude that business owner's goals play a role in the outcome of the business. The use of a refined data collection instrument, coupled with a larger sample is recommended in order to further evaluate the impact of business owner's goals on the business strategy choices and outcomes in the context of a developing country.
