by Mark Twain (Author)
Tom Canty, a hopeful young pauper with an alcoholic and abusive father, has a chance encounter with the young Prince of Wales, Edward VI, outside of the palace. Discovering an uncanny resemblance to each other, the two boys switch clothes and lives—the prince heading for the streets of London while Tom remains at court. As each boy experiences life on the other end of the social scale, both learn valuable lessons about the roles they play in society and their corresponding responsibilities.
Mark Twain's first attempt at historical fiction, The Prince and the Pauper has been adapted many times in multiple mediums since it was first published in 1881. The story has also become an archetypal inspiration for many similar "trading places" stories in which characters from different walks of life are moved by circumstances to experience others' lives first hand.

Black and red. A colour combination of ultimate menace, minx and yes, even jinx. Yet this, the world's biggest hornbill, likes to mix it all up with a bit of wholesome, family values.
The Southern Ground Hornbill gets its name from living in southern Africa and spending most of its time on the ground. A big male may be 129 cm (51 in) long and weigh up to 6.2 kg (13.6 lbs), while the females are a bit smaller.
Another difference between the sexes is the throat pouch. In males it's completely red, in females it's red with a patch of dark blue.
Isn't that duet amazing? It sounds like something modern and experimental to me. I actually found it quite difficult to believe it was them singing. So here's another video of a couple who seems to require a little more practise.
Southern Ground Hornbills are almost entirely carnivorous, spending their days walking around grasslands and savannah in search of insects, amphibians, reptiles, young birds, mammals, carrion... I think you can sum it up by saying they eat everything they possibly can. So long as it's not salad.
They can fly when they want to, at which point you can see their white wing tips. They roost in trees at night, and make their nest by lining tree cavities with leaves. The female incubates 1 or 2 eggs for over a month, but only one chick will survive.
When the chick is young, mother will only leave the nest for brief periods. She'll have to wait until the hatchling is a month old before she can really start foraging for food in earnest.
Until then she is largely dependant on the male for her meals. But not only him, because they comprise the dominant pair in a whole family of Southern Ground Hornbills. There can be up to 11 of them, both adults and juveniles helping the parents raise the chick.
Youngsters have a rather pallid throat, the vibrant red apparently reserved only for those with the maturity to be responsible with it. They'll be dependant on their mother for up to year and won't reach adulthood for 4 years. Plenty of time to help out around the house!
A nasal horn, haha! Yeh, I really like their looks. They're like reasonably friendly, slightly bored dinosaurs.
The Southern Ground Hornbill has to be the most major omission from David Chandler's (otherwise) impressive 100 Birds to See Before you Die.
As the largest fully altricial landbird and perhaps the longest-lived of all birds (it's tough to measure because they can outlive even durable Monel metal bands), the Southern Ground Hornbill is unique. When one considers its lifestyle as a social predator capable apparently of overturning and killing tortoises, along with its breeding system with obligate cooperative breeding, obligate siblicide and the longest period of parental dependence (young are not self-feeding for over a year after they can fly) of any bird, its omission in favour of species that are merely spectacular is dubious at best.


As a kid, I remember being eternally excited by the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom series, which went all around the world to study and film animals. The journeys were so sweeping in their grandeur, the narratives so eloquent in their presentation. Today, I get my "global fix" from viewing shows like The Amazing Race, as well as the great work of Travel Channel personalities like the lovable Samantha Brown, the ultra cool Dhani Jones, and the comical Anthony Bourdain.
@umarket Audrey & Daniel have been all over the world, and have chronicled it in their award-winning travelogue UncorneredMarket. Their global exploration has yielded great human stories, travel photography and street food reportage. In fact, their pictures of Asian mountain ranges (which can be seen here) is nothing short of breathtaking.
@TransAmericas Karen & Eric's fantastic Trans-America journey has gone more than 4 Years, and over 200,000 miles, through North, Central & South America. Their travels have produced awe-inspiring pictures, and amazing insights. It's hard not being impressed with their cool travelogue: TransAmericas.com.
@travelojos When Steven Roll is not doing legal editing at a Washington DC-area publishing firm, he maintains Travelojos, a great blog about his numerous travels throughout Mexico and Latin America. His passion for great food becomes evident. This picture of him above is priceless - he's having too much fun!
In 2008, Christine Gilbert walked away from a major Fortune 500 Company to become a freelance writer - working and traveling to cities around the world. It's truly a great story. Her travels have taken her to 13 countries and over 20 cities. Her aptly titled blog, AlmostFearless, is a great read. It has some great links to other travel blogs.
@craig_martin Craig Martin, an award-winning co-host of the very popular IndieTravelPodcast, a show he operates with his wife Linda. A connoisseur of wine and coffee, Craig has traveled to 5 continents. But, he gets major kudos for living in New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings movies were shot.
@collazoprojects Julie Schwietert Collazo is managing editor of Matador Travel. Her travel stories make for great reading, including one about what she learned from reading John Steinbeck's Travels With Charley. See her work on Collazoprojects, which she runs with Francisco Collazo, her partner in "life, love, and business." The pictures from her travels are awesome.
His cool blog, The Carey Adventures, has some great pictures from his travels all over the globe: Ireland, Peru, Nepal, among many other countries. He loves back country traveling in the "mountains and woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia," as well as the sandstone marvels throughout the state of Utah.
Based in Argentina, Leigh Shulman left Brooklyn, NY to travel the world. She is the inspiring editor of Matador Life, and a noted visual artist. Her travelogue, The Future is Red, is filled with great images and insights from her travels. Her pictures of San Pedro de Atacama are smokin' hot!
Nick Rowlands was leading tours around Egypt, Tunisia and Jordan from 2005-2008. But now he's a freelance writer, and editor of the impending tour guide The Croc. Cairo, Egypt is the source of his inspiration as he continually plans his next adventure. His many travels are documented on his Trazzers page.
@Brooklynnomad Andrew Hickey, a self-described hotel nerd and pizza snob, has a great blog, The Brooklyn Nomad. For years he wrote travel stories and shorts for media outlets, and then branched out on his own. He is @CheapOair's Manager of Social Media, and is a blogger for Oyster Hotels.

Kansas College Students Can Ace Tests, But They Need Help 'Adulting'
Can becoming more "life-savvy" really be taught?

MANHATTAN, Kansas — Millennials get blamed for killing off sports, drinks and entire industries. Those millennials — and their Gen Z successors — have also given rise to a new word: adulting.
Aging folks from the baby boom or Generation X enjoy ridiculing today's college students when those younger people can't change a tire or wash their clothes without turning to Mom or Dad.
But educators say students privileged enough to go to college and who somehow avoided learning when to change their oil also grew up under a mountain of academic pressure. All that drilling for college entrance exams and robust GPAs left them book-smart — and less life-savvy.
So Kansas State University and other colleges have turned to adulting workshops. The noncredit classes aim to teach students the practical skills that don't come up in ordinary classrooms.
Mental health advocates hope the workshops can also temper the stress caused by academic pressure and a lack of knowhow about living beyond the reach of hovering parents.
Curbing home economics
Adulting lessons used to go by another well-known name: home economics. Those classes taught cooking, sewing, budgeting and other practical skills.
But long before adulting classes took over, home economics got rebranded. To shred the house-wife-in-training sensibility, many of the classes were relabeled as "family and consumer science" in the 1990s.
Their popularity declined anyway. In 2012, fewer than 3.5 million students were taking FCS classes, a 38% drop over a decade. FCS teachers are in short supply.
And two decades of shifting education policies — starting with the No Child Left Behind Act — have caused schools to focus on a narrow set of often-tested subjects.
"It's not considered to be a core area, and so it's easier to say, 'maybe we don't need this,'" said Duane Whitbeck, the chair of Family and Consumer Sciences at Pittsburg State University.
That emphasis on a limited number of subjects and the pressure to perform well in them has left today's college students feeling unready for challenges not found on a Scantron test.
"I feel like I was ill-prepared for life in general," said Ashley Fox, a K-State student.
Enter adulting
Some colleges want to fill in those missing life skills with free, noncredit workshops they often call "Adulting 101."
Wichita State University offered one on budgeting. The University of Nebraska-Kearney's version touches on tax preparation. A University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill workshop focuses on building credit.
K-State offers a series of workshops. The school's lessons include car maintenance, food safety and conflict resolution for dealing with that roommate who expects you to do all the toilet scrubbing.
Students working with the university's health center organized the workshops. They were interested because they felt they had few other opportunities to pick up these skills.
"We don't have classes on how to change a tire at school," said Frankie Skinner, a student at K-State who helped create the adulting workshops. "We lack knowledge of just basic adulting."
Adulting 101: more than Home Economics 2.0
Educators hope even a lesson on oil changes does more than teach students about car maintenance. They're trying to build sturdier adults in the context of what they describe as a mental health crisis.
Mental health treatment for college students went from 19% to 34%between 2007 and 2017. Students and educators point to an unprecedented amount of academic expectations leaving students exhausted and stressed.
"In high school, I felt really pressured to take a lot of college classes to succeed because there was a huge race for valedictorian and being top of the class," said K-State student Anna Traynham. "No matter how high your GPA was … everybody was still stressed. … You had to be perfect all the time."
While academic pressure is believed to play a big part in stressing out students, evidence suggests it's not just high-achieving students feeling the anxiety.
Mental health advocates believe adulting classes can help in two ways: The first is simply preparing already-overwhelmed students to deal with life's pitfalls. A flat tire is less stressful when you know where to find the tire iron.
"These basic problem-solving life skills are being brushed under the rug," said Megan Katt, a health educator at K-State. "Instead, we're just drilling all this academic work into their head."
The second idea deals with another word that's become popular on campus — resilience.
That ability to bounce back from challenges can mean the difference between working through a stressful event and spiraling into a breakdown.
And educators believe today's students are less resilient than previous generations.
"When we're not given the tools to solve problems, we are not able to be resilient," said Megan Katt, who helped create the K-state's adulting workshops.
Mental health advocates say there are merits to both adulting and workshops specifically aimed at building resiliency.
But Laura Horne, chief program officer at the mental advocacy organization Active Minds, warns that these are just short-term solutions. Addressing the college mental health crisis takes changing the culture of campus so that more staff and students feel comfortable talking about mental health issues.
"It's a long game," Horne said. "This is really difficult work to do, but it is … worth doing."

Maari ba na ibalik dito yung Guitar Central Mini Blog Thread?
Re: Maari ba na ibalik dito yung Guitar Central Mini Blog Thread?
Good day din sayo sir! ayos lang bro opinyon mo naman yan hehe and wag ka magalala, the mods are working hard about this, and yes naguusap usap din naman kami and im sure nababasa din nila to. Id rather not comment on the issue kung anong nangyari sa GCMB thread dahil sila ang mas may authority para dito.
salamat bossing more power to the Bass place blog! dapat may grand EB tayo minsan! msaya yun!! BP at GC EB!
hahaha! mag paliwanag ka sarge!
hindi pa ba sapat yung sorry?
What is your reclaim (reklamo)?
teka!!! seriously??? ikaw ba talaga?
Natatawa ako pero bigla akong nalito kung seryoso ka ba o hindi. Hahahahaha!
good day again to all!
Ang rules ng PM ay hindi dapat nag dedepende kung SINO ang moderator. dapat may pinag babasehan tayo ng mga decision hindi kung ano lang ang PERSONAL opinyon ng isang Moderator eh yun na ang iimplement. Hindi ko po kayo dinidiktahan kung ano ang dapat na gawin o kung paano dapat mag moderate ng thread dahil wala akong alam jan, para saakin COMMON LOGIC lang na dapat CONSISTENT and rules ALL ACROSS THE FORUM BOARDS.
Hindi namin gusto malipat ang Bassplace blog sa AGT, the only reason why we point it out kasi po it only shows na may inconsistency WITHIN the forum moderators which is for me, unacceptable.
Wag po sana kayo magalit, at wala sana personalan mga bro, ang akin lang eh kung maaari, mag usap usap naman kayo para maging mas maayos at swabe ang PHILMUSIC.
opinyon lang po, peace only mga sirs!
LOL... Some years ago, I remarked that PhilMusic is a feudal state, which I thought was amusingly appropriate at the time. I wasn't complaining or clamoring for change. I was just making an observation. Either way, Jim Ayson didn't like that and responded by taking his own shot at me regarding the finer points of forum moderation. So, a word of caution, people -- this might still be a touchy subject.
I am actually wondering if faithfully following one set of rules for all can make things better here.
The problem is that whether it's because of the prevailing subcultures, or maybe because of sheer numbers, people belonging to their respective sections seem to behave differently as a group. The forum population is not homogenous across all sections. With the way moderators are deployed, it's natural for them to make individual adjustments.
Is this the best method? I don't know. But it is the organic and flexible one. You need those attributes to adapt quickly to the membership's needs.
joke lang. . hope to meet you all sa RIG party and future TPs.
pupunta ka sa the rig?? NOICE!!! see you and the gang mayt!
parang naiinggit nga rin ako sa BP blog eh. hahaha.
...and we're here in AGT!
Aamin nadin ako..ako ang nagreclaim (Reklamo) ako din ang nag suggest na sa Anything Goes ilagay..kasi nalulungkot ako doon..and gusto ko ng mga kasama...thanks at napagbigyan yung "reclaim" ko..The best talaga ang PM Guitar Central..
nalipat din itong thread ni jeff, pano makakapag reply mga GC peeps kung nasa AGT?
In behalf of the AGT Family, WELCOME uli!
1. The Mini Blog thread was moved because it had already become a quasi-chatroom, with most of the posts not even remotely related to guitars. Just browsing the three pages (so far) of this thread is a testament to that. The old school Livebands/Yupangco/PhilMusic boys and I had something similar before, but we chatted in Yahoo! Messenger conferences instead. We also had EBs, tone parties, etc. without a mini-blog thread in Guitar Central, so I don't see it as a hassle for you guys if the GCMB is at the AGT forum.
2. Post count also has something to do with it being moved, but #1 is still the primary reason. Let's face it, may mga tao talagang nagpaparami lang ng post count e.
3. Some people here have raised the issue of the Mini Blog being a way for forumites to meet new friends, etc. If that is the case, then the GCMB thread should be moved to the EB forum instead, not here in GC, not at AGT. I moved it to the AGT forum so that more people can participate in that thread (and since the thread is a "mini-blog," it seems a bit out of place at the EB forum) that's what you want, then I can request the AGT mods to move it to the EB thread.
4. And yes, PhilMusic is moderated subjectively due to different subcultures in every forum. Just like AGT, Guitar Central has endured what we mods call the "Wild West era" (e.g. JC_Shredder, emil_murillo clones, lots of scammers, oasgomez wars, BAMF vs. floyd_nikita, etc.) that's why we're a bit stricter here. Jim took the time to get to know us and entrusted the management of his site to us. We're not perfect, but at the very least, the forum owner considers us as the right persons for the job.
Guys, the Mini Blog thread wasn't deleted; it was just moved. I even allowed it to stay here but may mga nagreklamo na e. It's only a couple of clicks away from Guitar Central, you know? Is that too big a deal for you? You can just bookmark the exact URL of the Mini Blog thread if you think that it's too cumbersome to click on Home, Anything Goes Talaga then GCMB.
I'll answer whatever questions you may still have by tonight. I'm currently on a boat somewhere in Mindanao, so mamaya na lang.
Wow..this after that Turi thread, the Red Bull fiasco last night, and the offline connections during the holidays...what's the world coming to.
Dumalang na ako rin ako magpost kasi for me it was not nice na bigla na lang na-ganun yung thread. Met a lot of good guys here. Honestly, siempre there were some pages na hindi rin ako aprub but I had a choice naman not to visit. I am a guitar player and having it back there gives me some form of comfort kasi I can be with well-meaning guitar players, too. Ito lang naman ang thread na walang away. A nice respite from the other so-called GC-related threads. Moderators, don't get the GCMB people wrong. I, myself, am not a social animal but meeting them made me realize that there are musicians that are not so thick in the skull. Walang kahangin-hangin.
I believe jef is a bassist, and he finding friends in the GCMB thread is a testament that it doesn't need to be in a general forum place to be enjoyed by everybody.
To All GCMB Peeps kamusta kayo...namiss ko kayo lahat!

Duel: Episode 13
by odilettante
It's never easy realizing that the truth you've always believed about your family is completely wrong, especially if that "truth" existed to cover-up a potentially dangerous reality. As surprising discoveries are made about various characters' biological parentage, everyone comes one step closer to figuring out where Doctor Lee's original vaccination has disappeared to.
EPISODE 13 RECAP
Sung-hoon points his gun at Chairman Park, demanding to know why the chairman created him. Even though Sung-hoon knows a cloned embryo was needed for the vaccine, he doesn't understand why Chairman Park would clone a human and raise him for over twenty years. Angry, Sung-hoon asks Chairman Park why he would put him through so much torture.
Chairman Park simply says that he needed Sung-hoon. It started out as idle curiosity when Chairman Park asked Doctor Lee if, since they could clone an embryo, they could clone a full human. Doctor Lee told the chairman it wasn't worth it, since clones would die early due to the aging organs, and Doctor Lee thought it was cruel to create a clone only to watch it die.
But Chairman Park realized that if they could clone someone with the same rare disease that he has, then his lab would be able to more effectively research cures. After all, the clone would be dying anyway, so it seemed perfectly justifiable in Chairman Park's eyes.
Chairman Park is convinced that Sung-hoon would have done the same if he'd been in the chairman's shoes. The chairman points out that Sung-hoon has killed others in an effort to save his own life. Which is true, but… it's not exactly the same, since Sung-hoon didn't purposefully create Byung-joon, Joo-shik, Dong-seul, or anyone else, in order to kill them later.
That might not have been the wisest argument to make, as Sung-hoon smoothly switches from his gun to a knife, which he now presses against Chairman Park's throat. Sung-hoon angrily spits out that he should make sure Chairman Park suffers before he dies.
Sung-hoon warns the chairman that he'll repeatedly stab Chairman Park just deep enough to cause pain, but not enough to kill him. He wants Chairman Park to experience the constant pain that he has endured.
Chairman Park manages to block Sung-hoon, desperately warning Sung-hoon that he's making the wrong choice. The chairman shows a video call from Big Boss, revealing that Doctor Mom (unaware she's being filmed) is standing in the middle of Sung-hoon's lair. Sung-hoon's eyes grow wide with shock as he realizes Doctor Mom is still alive.
Meanwhile, at the nearly deserted police station, Deuk-chun recalls his meeting with Nurse Ryu's old friend. He's not Mi-rae's father, and the man reveals that after their other friend died, the pregnant Nurse Ryu had a miscarriage due to shock. Mi-rae is, therefore, not Nurse Ryu's biological daughter.
Chairman Park tells Big Boss (who's secretly filming Doctor Mom) that if Big Boss doesn't get a call from him in five minutes, then Big Boss should kill Doctor Mom. Chairman Park taunts Sung-hoon, telling the younger man to go ahead and stab him — if Chairman Park dies, then Doctor Mom will die, too.
The chairman demands to know where Doctor Lee hid the real vaccine. But that just clues Sung-hoon into the fact that Chairman Park hasn't been fully cured. Sung-hoon tells Chairman Park that it will be more enjoyable to watch the chairman slowly die from the disease, so Sung-hoon will spare his life for now.
The five minutes are nearly up, and with literally a few seconds to spare, Sung-hoon steps back as he orders Chairman Park to call Big Boss. Doctor Mom is still alive. Whew.
As Sung-hoon turns to leave, Chairman Park asks him why he's so angry at the chairman. After all, it was Doctor Mom who created the clones in the first place. The chairman tells Sung-hoon that everything Sung-hoon knows about Doctor Mom is a lie, including the name she used back then.
Chairman Park continues to twist the metaphorical knife as he informs Sung-hoon that Doctor Mom has been working as the head of Sanyoung's research lab, so she's had plenty of opportunity to save Sung-hoon if she wanted to. Sung-hoon is stunned when the chairman smugly says that Doctor Mom was the one who authorized all the experiments that were done to Sung-hoon.
Deuk-chun watches over his sleeping daughter as he remembers an earlier conversation he had with Doctor Mom, who reveals her side of the story. After she was hit by the car, Sung-hoon was taken back to the lab, and Doctor Mom was informed that Sung-hoon had died there. She seems genuinely sad to realize that Sung-hoon has spent so long locked up in the lab, suffering and in pain due to all the experiments.
She blames herself for the original cloning experiment twenty-four years ago, even though she claims she was deceived by Chairman Park so there's some blame to go around. Doctor Mom had wanted to continue her husband's work after Doctor Lee died.
Doctor Mom is surprised to learn that Doctor Lee was able to fully develop the vaccine before he died, though. Doctor Lee never mentioned it to her, and Deuk-chun realizes that this means she doesn't know where it could be.
Gulping from a bottle of whiskey, Sung-hoon tries to wash away the the idea that the only person he's ever considered to be his mother also allowed him to go through all those painful experiments. Chairman Park's voice echoes in Sung-hoon's mind, pointing out that Doctor Mom never treated Sung-hoon like her own child.
At the hospital, Big Boss offers to torture Sung-hoon so Chairman Park can figure out what happened to the vaccine. But Chairman Park believes that Sung-hoon would be able to resist any physical torture (thanks to Sung-hoon's years as a lab rat), so instead, they have to use psychological torture.
Chairman Park smiles to himself as he explains that he's just feeding all the doubts Sung-hoon has had over the years, and soon he'll convince Sung-hoon that Chairman Park is the only person Sung-hoon can trust.
At Sunbae's safe house, Mi-rae sadly tells Sung-joon that finding her mother's old documents and the photo of Doctor Lee gave her a little bit of hope that she might be able to finally find her father. Instead, Mi-rae wishes she had left it all alone, since she's now discovered that Nurse Ryu wasn't her biological mother.
Mi-rae confesses that it feels like she just discovered she's an orphan, having lost her mother. Sung-hoon commiserates, revealing that he and Sung-hoon also had someone who acted like their mother, but who they couldn't call "Mom."
Flashback to tiny Sung-joon, sadly sitting alone in the secret hospital room. Doctor Mom tells him that Sung-hoon will be back soon after his check-up. Then she reveals a gift of a sketchpad and crayons. Tiny Sung-joon is delighted, and they draw each other's portraits as they wait for Sung-hoon to return.
At that time, Doctor Mom went under the name Jin Soo-jin, so all the effort adult Sung-joon went through to find her was fruitless. Sung-joon admits that he still hoped he'd find her one day, but Sung-hoon told him during their most recent tussle that Doctor Mom had died.
Sung-joon reflects on the fact that growing up in the lab should have been a miserable experience, yet somehow, Doctor Mom and tiny Sung-hoon's expressions of love made it one of the happiest memories of his life. Mi-rae accepts Sung-joon's efforts to make her feel better, admitting that even if Nurse Ryu wasn't her birth mother, she never doubted Nurse Ryu's love for her.
At the prosecutor's office, Jo-hye reveals to her team that Sung-hoon and Sung-joon are clones. They're appropriately shocked by this, but Jo-hye explains how all the cases they've worked on lately are related to the cloning experiment from twenty-four years ago. Instead of focusing on Soo-yeon's kidnapping, they'll now be investigating at Sanyoung's illegal experimentation and corruption.
Boon-suk points out that it won't be easy going after Chairman Park since Sanyoung is one of the most influential pharmaceutical companies in the country. The prosecutors won't be able to get the information they need and they'll likely be blocked every step of the way. But Jo-hye says they'll be going undercover, which sounds dangerous and exciting.
Sung-joon and Mi-rae pick up some lunch (Subway, of course) and head to the hospital to visit Soo-yeon. As they enter the hospital room, they see Doctor Mom.
Doctor Mom gasps in surprise at seeing Sung-joon standing before her, and Sung-joon is stunned to realize that Doctor Mom is still alive. Doctor Mom tearfully says that he's grown so much, and Mi-rae discretely steps into the hallway to give them some alone time.
Meanwhile, Jo-hye has a secret meeting with Ahn Jeong-dong, the father of the little girl who was kidnapped in the first episode. Jeong-dong thinks that Jo-hye is there to get money from him, but instead, she muses that it's interesting that there was no evidence of Jeong-dong at the mistress's apartment — not one fingerprint or strand of hair.
Jo-hye deduces that the mistress wasn't actually his mistress — instead, the woman was part of an illegal Sanyoung experiment that Jeong-dong had invested in.
Jeong-dong explains that after Chairman Park collapsed and his son took over the company, Jeong-dong was at a secret party where he found out that Sanyoung could create clones. Jeong-dong has a disorder where he can't have children — his daughter Hye-joo was only born thanks to artificial insemination, and even then, she was frail and constantly in and out of the hospital.
He thought that if he could clone Hye-joo, then maybe… Jeong-dong leaves that thought unfinished, but Jo-hye looks absolutely disgusted at the thought that Jeong-dong is more concerned about creating a healthy child that had his DNA than about the actual welfare of his child who was already born.
The mistress who died was a surrogate mother carrying a clone of Hye-joo, but tests revealed that the clone was deformed, which is why Jeong-dong ordered it to be aborted. Jeong-dong is bitter that Sanyoung lied to him that they could manipulate the genes to create a disease-free Hye-joo, but Jo-hye is still horrified that he thought he could fix his daughter by simply creating a new one.
At the hospital, Sung-joon and Doctor Mom catch up. She thought he had died, but Sung-joon explains that days after Doctor Mom left him with her trusted friend, a fire broke out at the inn they were staying at, and he was the only survivor.
Tears in her eyes, Doctor Mom apologizes for the hard life Sung-joon has had, but Sung-joon reassures her that he's no longer scared. Sung-joon asks if she's seen Sung-hoon yet, since he knows that Sung-hoon believes she's dead.
Doctor Mom says that she just can't meet him yet, although she adds that she will, soon. After she finishes her work. Oooooh, and we see that Doctor Mom apparently found out about Sung-hoon's lair thanks to Jo-hye. Doctor Mom also passed along a message to the chairman that Chairman Park should meet with Jo-hye if he doesn't want Sung-hoon to be arrested as a serial killer.
Jo-hye visits with Chairman Park in his hospital room, where he grumps that her threats are useless. Jo-hye points out that while she could only access the lobby of the hospital before, she's now in his private room — so it seems like her threats were pretty effective.
Chairman Park laughs, admitting that her spunk is the main reason he wanted to see her, so he'll at least listen to why she wanted to meet with him. Jo-hye reveals that she knows the Chief Prosecutor works for Chairman Park, and that "the cow is getting too old to give milk."
Chairman Park asks why he should get rid of a perfectly loyal "cow" for a "younger cow" (that is, Jo-hye), and Jo-hye says that she knows all about Doctor Lee's experiments, Doctor Mom's cloning, Sung-hoon and Sung-joon, and the current illegal cloning.
The chairman's eyes grow wide at that last reason, and Jo-hye realizes Chairman Park is unaware about the current-day cloning. It's enough to convince Chairman Park to agree to consider making her his new "cow," as he demands Jo-hye tell him everything she knows.
Doctor Mom gets a call that there's an emergency she needs to attend to. As she leaves, she tells Sung-joon and Mi-rae that she'll return later, and that she'll be happy to tell Mi-rae more about Nurse Ryu. She also promises that Soo-yeon will be well taken care of, especially because her research team are working on finding a cure.
Jo-hye returns to her office to find Deuk-chun waiting for her. He wants to know why Jo-hye had him reinstated as a detective, as well as the connection between her, the Chief Prosecutor, and Sanyoung. Considering Doctor Mom knows the name of the prosecutor who interfered at the station twelve years ago because Jo-hye told her, Deuk-chun is suspicious that Jo-hye is somehow connected to Sanyoung. Jo-hye admits that she's going undercover by winning over Chairman Park.
Deuk-chun still wants to know why she had him reinstated, and Jo-hye reminds Deuk-chun that she's always done anything she could to get ahead, and that she had her eyes on becoming the next Chief Prosecutor. But the Sanyoung connection made her realize that success and power aren't all they're cracked up to be. Jo-hye had Deuk-chun reinstated because he's the only person she could trust to help her.
Deuk-chun protests that she shouldn't trust him because he'll do whatever it takes to destroy Sanyoung, and he won't go along with any of her games. As he leaves, Deuk-chun warns Jo-hye not to get in his way.
Doctor Mom's "emergency call" was apparently an order to give Chairman Park a check-up. He frets that the cure isn't ready yet, and she calmly tells him that her team is working on it, but removing the fatal side effects will take some time. Chairman Park blames her for putting him in this condition (y'know, by creating a vaccine that saves his life only to give him potentially cancerous side effects).
Chairman Park asks if Doctor Mom is going to go running to Jo-hye and tattle, but Doctor Mom coldly tells him that Chairman Park must be crazy if he thinks she'll trust a prosecutor. Doctor Mom warns him that Jo-hye is planning to side with him just to get information — Doctor Mom only played along with Jo-hye to find out where Sung-hoon was.
Seo-jin arrives just as Doctor Mom leaves, and Seo-jin greets her father cheerfully, asking what he wants for lunch. Worried because Doctor Mom was just there, Seo-jin cautiously asks about his health. Chairman Park bluffs that he just wanted to know how the research was going, reassuring Seo-jin that the cure will be found before he dies.
At the other hospital, an now-awake Soo-yeon is ready to dig into the lunch Mi-rae made for her. Soo-yeon happily tells her father and Sung-joon how delicious the food is, and she laughs, which causes Sung-joon to get a Doctor-Lee-memory of another happily smiling young child in a hospital.
Deuk-chun notes Sung-joon's strange reaction, but Sung-joon reassures Deuk-chun that he's fine. It's a good thing, too, since Deuk-chun declares Sung-joon to be Soo-yeon's guardian when Deuk-chun isn't around. Aw. Soo-yeon is sad when she realizes her father has to leave to go back to work, but she tells him that she'll patiently wait, since it's more important that he catch bad guys. Double aw.
Seo-jin puzzles over the fact that Sung-hoon told her he was going to find Chairman Park to get his revenge, but since her father is still alive, she concludes that something must have happened to Sung-hoon. She also realizes that her father never asked about Sung-hoon, whom he should have been expecting Seo-jin to bring to him like she'd promised.
Worried, she calls Sung-hoon, but he's still reeling from his earlier paranoid bender and doesn't answer. Chairman Park's statements about Doctor Mom being the one who approved all the experiments on the clones fill Sung-hoon's mind. In a rage, Sung-hoon tosses aside the syringe he was getting ready to inject into his hand.
At the police station, Chief Park reports that he's found someone who used to work with Doctor Lee before he disappeared to work on the illegal experiments. The man's name is Oh Seok-jin, and he used to be Doctor Lee's assistant, but now is a professor.
Professor Oh tells Deuk-chun that he always considered Doctor Lee to be a kind and intelligent man who could have become something great if he hadn't disappeared. Deuk-chun asks if there seemed anything strange around the time Doctor Lee disappeared, and Professor Oh says that Doctor Lee changed after his young daughter got lymphoma.
According to Professor Oh, Doctor Lee gave everything up for his daughter and cut himself off from the world before eventually resigning. Professor Oh doesn't know what Doctor Lee was doing after his resignation, but if Doctor Lee was performing experiments, Professor Oh assumes Doctor Lee would have been looking for a cure for his daughter.
Seo-jin is still frustrated that she can't reach Sung-hoon, especially since this means her brother will likely inherit Sanyoung (since per Chairman Park's ultimatum in the last episode, the person who brings him Sung-hoon gets the company). Trying another tactic, Seo-jin calls someone else.
At the hospital, Sung-joon gently cleans Soo-yeon's arms. She's impressed that he's so good at it, and Sung-joon casually says he's done it a lot. Then he stops to wonder when that could have been, and a flashback of Doctor Lee shows him gently cleaning the hands of the young child from the earlier flashback — now presumably Doctor Lee's daughter.
Sunbae arrives at the hospital room, cheerful as always as he hands out popsicles. Another Doctor-Lee-memory strikes Sung-joon as Sunbae says he's giving the sweet popsicle to Soo-yeon to help the taste of the bitter medicine — which is exactly what Doctor Lee told his daughter, Joo-hee.
When Sung-joon calls, Deuk-chun is trying to make sense of the fact that Doctor Lee only started his research into finding a cure after his daughter supposedly died. Sung-joon tells Deuk-chun about his recent memories of Joo-hee.
Deuk-chun pulls the list of Doctor Lee's family and realizes that, yep, Joo-hee is Doctor Lee's daughter. She would have been around two years old if she died in 1991, which doesn't add up to the age of the five-year-old from Sung-joon's memories.
We flashback to the conversation with Nurse Ryu's friend, who informs the gang that two months after Nurse Ryu's miscarriage, she decided to adopt a girl and name her Mi-rae, the same name Nurse Ryu had planned to give her own daughter. That, plus the fact that Doctor Lee was obsessed with saving his daughter and that he made sure Nurse Ryu got the vaccination, makes Deuk-chun wonder what's really going on.
Doctor Mom and Mi-rae enjoy a pleasant walk after having dinner together. As they make plans to meet up again, Deuk-chun calls Doctor Mom. Deuk-chun asks Doctor Mom if she saw her daughter's body after Joo-hee died. Doctor Mom admits that she didn't since she was in America at the time and only arrived after her daughter had been interred.
Deuk-chun tells Doctor Mom that he thinks he's found Joo-hee and that she's still alive. Doctor Mom is standing the middle of the street as she talks to Deuk-chun, and Mi-rae notices a motorcycle revving its engine. Just as Deuk-chun tells Doctor Mom that he believes Mi-rae is actually Doctor Mom's biological daughter, Mi-rae shoves Doctor Mom out of the street.
Mi-rae takes the full impact of the oncoming motorcycle and is knocked to the ground. As the motorcycle speeds away, Doctor Mom frantically tries to rouse the bloody and unconscious Mi-rae.
So Mi-rae really is Doctor Lee's daughter! I guess I wasn't totally off-base when I idly speculated that Mi-rae could have received the injection, since she's the only one I could think of that Nurse Ryu would give it to. I'm not used to Deuk-chun being the first to figure things out, but it at least proves that he became a head detective for a reason (and once again makes me happy that none of our characters are particularly obtuse).
But if Mi-rae is Doctor Lee and Doctor Mom's biological daughter, and if Mi-rae had lymphoma, even at a young age, you'd think she'd have some sort of memory of it. Especially of being in the hospital with Doctor Lee. I'm trying to remember if she's had any odd reaction to seeing Sung-joon, since you'd think the clones would trigger some sort of vague memory of seeing Doctor Lee's — her father's — face when she was a child. I can understand her not recognizing Doctor Mom since it sounds like Doctor Mom was mostly overseas at the time, but not recognizing Doctor Lee's face after having so many chances to see again it just seems strange. Then again, maybe that mystery will be cleared up soon, since this show seems to anticipate all my nitpicky complaints.
If so, my other nitpick is the lack of action in this episode. As satisfying as it is to get more answers about how everyone is connected and what (presumably) happened with the Original Golden Syringe, I haven't forgotten that this is supposed to be a "chase thriller," and there's been sadly very little action lately. Well, except for the motorcycle accident at the very end, which was clearly not an accident. The motorcycle driver was definitely aiming at Doctor Mom, which makes me wonder who could want Doctor Mom dead. Chairman Park or Seo-jin don't make much sense, since they need her to find the cure. Sung-hoon is the most obvious choice, but even if he believes Doctor Mom betrayed him, she's still the woman that he's gone through all this revenge for in the first place. You'd think he'd at least want some answers from her before he tried to attack her.
I do appreciate the parallel of Mi-rae shoving Doctor Mom out of the way of an oncoming vehicle, much the way Doctor Mom shoved tiny Sung-hoon out of the way (which makes me think the motorcyclist ought to be one of Chairman Park's goons — maybe somehow related to the prosecutor's office — just to continue the parallel, even if I can't figure out why yet). There's been a constant refrain of parents or parent-figures doing all they can to save their children (and sometimes — but not always — succeeding), so to have a child save her parent, even without knowing the truth about that parentage, is nicely poetic. Besides, we can't have Doctor Mom die right now since she's the only one who can figure out the original vaccine to save the clones. Unless, of course, Sung-joon continues to magically get enough of Doctor Lee's memories to eventually figure out how the cure was originally created.
Finally, I was a little shocked — but not altogether surprised — to hear that Sanyoung is still attempting cloning. I feel like this points to Seo-jin's brother's mishandling of Sanyoung, since he seems more interested in making money than actually delivering on its products (ugh, how gross I feel in calling a clone of a child a "product"). This makes me wonder if there are more clones out there, and not just in the "army of Yang Se-jongs" way. (Which, by the way, I continue to quietly hope for just because I still need that many Yang Se-jongs in my life.)
I'm still horrified, though, that Jeong-dong seemed to have no qualms about deciding he could replace his daughter with a clone. Was he expecting to just keep an extra daughter in a lab somewhere for when the real daughter's illness finally got the better of her, and then surprise his wife on Christmas morning with a gift-wrapped, fully formed daughter? How would you explain that? "Hi honey, I know you're crushed that our only daughter died after we've spent so much love, time, and effort caring for her, but look! I've made a new one who isn't deathly allergic to milk! Yay! Oh, and she'll die in her twenties because her organs age three times faster, but we can worry about that later."
With only a few episodes left, I don't think we'll be able to fully explore the idea that Sanyoung is continuing to develop human clones since we still haven't settled what happened with Sung-hoon and Sung-joon, but I'm going to need at least one person to seriously question the morality of human cloning as a way to satisfy the selfish needs of rich people, especially considering how much the poor clones have suffered.

Yay! Thanks for the recap odilettante!
This episode made me feel so sad for Sung-Hoon. Aside from physical abuse there is also mental abuse. In Sung-Hoon's case, feeling that the mother he loved was the one who commanded to have all the experiments done on him is something that might break the last straw in him. Please! Don't do this to Sung-Hoon!
Herlene
It's too much pain and seeds of doubts were planted in Sung-Hoon...I'm afraid that the clones won't reconcile any time soon.
2 dany
So fast, Thanks for the recap, odilettante!
Poor Sung hoon loves his mom so much! Someone should kill that bastard chairman Park asap.
Doctor Mom went under the name Jin Soo-jin,
So, Doctor Jin ?
@Lord C:
Oh the humanity! Can a gummi brain fetus be far behind?!
Not if Sanyoung's huge illegal research team has anything to do with it.
Wonder if they also research time travel?
I hope to high heavens Sanyoung doesn't research time travel. I'm already concerned enough about Yu Hyun-jae's imminent return to 1993 to have to worry whether he'll cross paths with these ghouls. ;-)
On the other hand, if there were a way to send Chairman Park, his creepy daughter, and assorted minions and investors back in time to be hunted and devoured as painfully as possible by sabre-toothed tigers, I'm all for it. With apologies to the sabre-tooths.

Thanks for your recap and comments, odilettante!
Re: Mi-rae's not remembering Dr. Lee
Oddly enough, within the past few days I stumbled across an article on childhood amnesia (aka infantile amnesia) that is germane to your comment. It accounts for adults not remembering their childhood, and has to do with rapid brain development in the first six years of life. I was aware that there's a big reorganization and die-off of neurons. By the age of seven or so, the process is complete. In some circles, 7 years is considered the "age of reason," when people are supposed to be capable of distinguishing between right and wrong (unless they're Chairman Park and his creeptastic daughter, Seo-jin).
What I don't understand is how clones could possibly share the memories of their cell donors. (I'd best not look too closely at the Man Behind the Curtain aka the Wizard of Oz.)
That's so interesting!
hannaehh
I agree. I think normally people won't remember a lot of things happened when they were kids especially when they were 6 years and below. I kinda understand why Mi Rae couldn't recognize Sung Joon's face because she basically grew up sick before the injection and then lived her life as Mi Rae, Nurse Ryu's daughter.

There's an article in the NY Times (which u can also click the link through Nature Review Science Journal) about scientists recording a film clip through DNA of bacteria. So I do think it's possible. :D

Just when I think I can't get further grossed out, along comes Chairman Park and his mind games (not the term I want to use, but I'll attempt to maintain DramaBeans decorum) deployed against Sung-hoon. He is a total waste of oxygen. Seo-jin is just as bad. Ordering a hit on Doctor Mom is a new low, even for her.
Please, someone resuscitate Mo Tae-gu and send him over from VOICE. Tell him to bring his kettlebell.
Too bad clones don't fall under the jurisdiction of the Humane Society, as actual lab rats are legally protected. Oh, right. These poor critters are illegally produced "products," and therefore have no rights even as generic sentient beings.
That was a nice plot twist re: Mi-rae's parentage. I did not see that coming. But what a crappy family reunion for her and her biological mother. Does this sort of make Mi-rae and the clones pseudo-siblings?
Sung-joon's reunion with Doctor Mom was lovely, and I was hoping that his brother would get to see her too. Alas, Chairman Park has poisoned the well. I'm afraid that Sung-hoon, who has every right to be as mad as hell, has become so paranoid and vengeful that there will be no way for him to mend fences with his brother or Doctor Mom. Little Soo-yeon is probably the only one who could still get through to him. Perhaps she'll ask to see him. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
hydesamagirl
Darn, they are technically half-sibling, since he has all of his "father's" genes if you will, and she has half.

It's really ironic that all these nightmares started because of deep desire to save someone's life. What's the point of saving that someone when in the long process of doing exactly that you have to hurt many more person?
Now that we finally confirmed the fact that Mi-rae really IS Doctor Lee's daughter, I felt my ship sinking. All these sci-fi stuff is making it hard for shippers to do our job properly.
I've always got a sibling-like vibe from Mi-Rae and Sung-Joon friendly banter, so I'm ok with that...Anyway I'm glad that everyone is given a clear motivation, Prof. Lee is conducting the research for a personal purpose and not just for the sake for research in mad scientist mode. When I first saw him performing the illegal surgeries, he has that serious hardened look that make me feel there was something more to it. So sad for Sung-Hoon as he is spiralling into the loneliness of emotional outbursts, if only there is anyone that is able to reach him emotionally, perhaps the pain would be lessened. Again kudos to Yang Se-Jong for the nuanced performances.
@gadis,
Now that we finally confirmed the fact that Mi-rae really IS Doctor Lee's daughter, I felt my ship sinking.
Mi-rae and Sung-joon? I'd been getting that vibe, too. But now, thanks to the revelation of yet another Kdrama Birth Secret (TM), we know they're really long-lost pseudo-siblings or something -- depending on which side of the family you're considering. So now we have the old blood recognizing blood trope in play. Luckily Sunbae is still in the wings, and is a remarkably good sport.
It was very nice to see more of Dr. Lee -- this time with a very different vibe from the first time we saw him. Yang Se-jong conveyed such tenderness when he was with his sick child. He's really doing a dandy job portraying all the Lee iterations.
sooyi
LOL your comment on the sinking of Mi-rae/Sun-joon ship! Yeah I kind of shipped them too (I mean, even before the drama aired, I was considering that Mi-rae would be some kind of potential love interest to Sung-hoon, the "evil" clone). Still, when I think back at the exchanges between Mi-rae and Sung-joon, they weren't (overly) romantic and I thank the writers for it since we now have the revelation about Mi-rae's origins.

Omg omg OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. I don't even know how to put all my feelings into words right now. Initially i expected Mi Rae to be the doctor's daughter but then it seemed like they pushed that idea aside. BUT WOAH!!! So the vaccine was used on Mi Rae and that means it worked!!! Wow I just continue to be impressed with this show and it's going to be exciting to see how this all plays out.
With this revelation I feel a bit icky about shipping Mi Rae and Sung Joon.
Does the Chairman's daughter want her father to die??? I'm utterly confused
I think the daughter cares more about having her hand on the company and not genuinely care about his father. After knowing that he didnt appreciate her, then she thought that it was better for him to die, so that she could have her share
Does the Chairman's daughter want her father to die???
Seo-jin wants her Preciousssss. As in control of the company -- and all the money and power that goes with it. That's the only reason she kept her horrid old bastard of a father alive for years. Foolish girl. He was counting on her to do exactly that, and she played right into his hands.
I'm actually shipping Sung-joon and Sunbae, who could end up as brother-in-law if he plays his cards right. ;-)

I dont mind with the lack of actions in the recent episodes, coz we are focusing on the secrets revelation and the clones. That Chairman gotta go. It's so evil to manipulate SH like that. Poor SH ..I wish that SJ and friends will make him realized that he still have people who care about him too
And yes, I also need an army of Yang Se Jong *LOL*.

It literally makes me sick that all these rich people think the clones are just products, especially when we just had that beautiful episode of Sunbae accepting Sung Joon (*feels*). I am really hating our bad guys and I guess that's what makes this show so great. You actually hate the bad guys but also feel increasingly sorry for them (Sung Hoon-ah!!!). Looking forward to episode 14!!
13 hannaehh
I just wanna say I'm happy that my guess is right because Mi Rae is Dr Lee's daughter. It's just that I thought Dr Lee had something going on with Nurse Ryu. Lol. I feel bad for doubting Dr Lee's feelings on his wife and daughter.
I was also affraid that that they were having an affair , so I was really glad that they didnt :D . I'm happy that the writer made him a good loving father and a loyal husband.
But now, my ship is sinking. I also shipped SJ-MR *LOL*
Lol, I also shipped them in the beginning, before the whole vaccine thing. But since I guessed Mi Rae is Dr Lee's daughter, I stopped shipping them together.

i love stories about scifi, cloning and dystopian universes we can create with our DNA. The Island, The 6th day are just some Hollywood examples I enjoyed. In 6th day, he (well, his clone) brought home a new cloned dog after their dog died. ("Look honey, a new doggy") Gattaca, which isnt about cloning but still about modifying DNA & creation, is another favorite movie of mine.
It was already mentioned in a comment re: memory of children, and I do agree. Maybe I could only nitpick how come MiRae could somehow "sense" something was different with a handshake, but being around Sunghoon wasn't shaking up any memories at all. But then, maybe she could also "sense" that Sunghoon is a clone, and although the same DNA, isn't her "real" dad. Whatever "real" means.
Speaking of memory, there's a game i used to play in PlayStation, called Assassin's creed where memories of ancestors / past lives(?) are passed down through the genetic code. And we've seen a LOT of scifi which uses this, memories of clones coming from their original gene. I absolutely love this concept. & it's been explored in many movies in the past. There's even a recent article on new york times that talks about scientists recording data on DNA, and in pubmed journal database, some scientists use DNA to store Math. WUT.
Ok enuf nerdy talk. Imma go back to studying now. Peace.
I thought that memory is not stored in DNA, isnt it? But actually I love that idea , coz it will explain why SJ has dr Lee's memory.
Regarding MR, I thought that 4-5 years old kid doesnt remember much about her parents face ..especially if many years has passed and she didnt have their pics (she has dr Lee's pic but didnt know that it was his dad's). I think she got close and felt sympathy for SJ due to the fact that she felt certain closeness to him, although she couldnt understand why. Regarding why she doesnt feel the same toward SH, well, he appeared with a gun and killed people the first time they met :p . She would probably be scared about him to feel about anything else.
I think in a sense DNA is Memory in itself. like how come some kids resemble their parents or have the same personalities, likes and dislikes. That's also a type of memory by DNA replication. So if physical characteristics are handed down like "memory", and even personalities are handed down, why can't actual memories? I also think its an interesting concept! :D
15 sooyi
The chaebols in this drama sicken me more than in other shows. Most influential parents would do anything to cover up the crimes of their children, without any remorse for the victim whatsoever. But in here, the parent is willing to have a perfectly healthy child replacing the sickly original. I'm not saying that the former category of parents are saints and are ethical, yet the action of the latter category is truly disgusting.

Q: How do I programmatically detect a Blue Screen in VMWare Workstation? I would like to automatically be able to detect if a BSOD has occurred in a VM (using VMWare Workstation and VIX). I am testing software using all versions of Windows in VMWare and would like to know when a blue screen occurs.
Preferrably I would also like to attempt to automatically send myself the dump file that the BSOD generates, but I can probably figure that out once I can detect that the BSOD actually happened.
The VMWare HA doesn't really suit me due to costs and I don't really care about recovering ... I just care about detection.
Any ideas?

A: Have guest OS report in to another server with an "I'm Alive" message periodically. If it fails to report assume the worst.
I'm not an expert on VMWare, but if it is possible to programattically get OS disk access and processor usage, then that would also let you know. They shouln't be zero but they will be in a BSOD.

A: I will query the EventLog in each reboot if I were you (I'm assuming you have autoreboot activated). You can find the evidence of a BSOD there and then send the dumps or do whatever you need.

Microsoft Begins Rolling Out Wallet with Tap to Pay to Windows Insiders
Good news, Windows phone fans: Microsoft is finally beginning to roll out an e-wallet solution with Tap to Pay functionality to its most recent Lumia devices. It will work anywhere you see a contactless payment symbol.
"Microsoft has introduced tap to pay with Microsoft Wallet to Windows Insiders (build 14360 or higher), giving customers a more secure and simple way to pay," a Microsoft representative told me. "Microsoft Wallet with tap to pay is available to Windows Insiders with Windows 10 Mobile devices, starting in the U.S. with the Lumia 950, 950 XL and 650."
As suggested by that quote, there are a number of caveats here.
First, it's U.S. only, at least for now.
You must be running a recent NFC-enabled Lumia, meaning a Lumia 950, 950 XL or 650.
That Lumia must be enrolled in the Windows Insider program, and running Windows 10 Mobile build 14360 or higher.
And it appears to only work with Mastercard and VISA cards, if I'm reading the announcement correctly. And only with certain banks, including some of the bigger institutions like Bank of America, Chase, US Bank and a few others.
The good news? Thanks to the wonders of contactless payments, Microsoft's new Wallet app and its Tap to Pay functionality will actually work at over one million retail locations right off the bat. You may recall that Microsoft's previous Wallet app for Windows Phone 8 only launched in France, on only via the wireless carrier Orange, and then quietly disappeared.
And like that original Wallet app, the new version also supports reward and membership cards too.
I'm out today, but I'll be testing this app as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can learn more at the Microsoft Wallet web site. General availability is slated for "later this summer," which I take to mean, when the Windows 10 Anniversary update ships.

State Intelligence Service Behind Watareka Vijitha Thera!
Two officers of the State Intelligence Service (SIS) had followed Jathika Bala Sena convener Watareka Vijitha Thera, after the court proceedings yesterday.
The court case was on the controversy involving the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) and the Jathika Bala Sena, which took place during a press conference held at Nippon Hotel, Colombo.
After yesterday's proceedings, Vijitha Thera had traveled from Slave Island to Fort, and two people, who came in a motorbike, had followed the vehicle.
Vijitha Threra had then complained to the Police about the two followers and the Police had questioned the two people subsequent to the Police.
During the questioning, it has been revealed that the two people were actually from the State Intelligence Service, attached to the Department of Police.
The BBS constantly accused Vijitha Thera of being a pawn of extremist Muslim organizations and foreign embassies operating in Colombo. The BBS also accuses Minister Rishad Bathiudeen of 'protecting' the Buddhist monk who is from Mahiyanganaya. He is also a member of the Mahiyanganaya Pradeshiya Sabha, representing the United People's Freedom Alliance.


Nothing beats an inspirational view. Our team of talented tree climbers and arborists can shape a natural looking view in harmony with its surroundings.
I hate it when that happens. A tree falls on your driveway, on your car, or worse... your roof! Speed and accuracy are two important things that Shaner X can provide in delicate situations.
Owning land comes with a responsibility to facilitate the natural processes of a forest. Proper stewardship of a delicate ecosystem takes local knowledge and the gentle care that we can provide.
From foundation digging, septic installation to road carving or topping off, big machines come in handy. Shaner X has thousands of hours of experience, and a fleet of excavators that will insure you get the right tool for the job.
Quality counts, and when it comes to nature, it's hard to beat the quality of mother nature. By the time Bathan left our job site, I couldn't tell where the natural forest began and his work ended. It was seamless. That kind of quality takes a real artist.
Bathan delivers high-quality work, on schedule and within budget. I've used other services on the island, and none deliver what Bathan can bring to what seems like any project. Highly recommended.
Bathan created a breath-taking view from our second story living room. We sit there every night in awe of the natural beauty and depth of the forrest. Money well spent.

Home / Reports / Villagers of Ni'lin break curfew to hold non-violent demonstration
Villagers of Ni'lin break curfew to hold non-violent demonstration
in Reports July 5, 2008
At five o'clock on the morning the 4th July, the Israeli army declared the village of Ni'lin as a closed military zone and blocked the three entrances to the village. The village was now under curfew. The Israeli army prevented the Palestinians from entering and leaving the village. The committee against the wall had planned a non-violent prayer-demonstration, as every Friday, at twelve o'clock. Usually the demonstration takes place at the construction-area of the wall but because of the closed military zone today it took place close to one of the roadblocks. 600 villagers participated. 15 Israeli and international activists joined the protests after they managed to enter the village through the fields.
During the day 24 persons were injured by rubber-bullets, live ammunition and tear-gas. Three homes were attacked by tear-gas and had their windows smashed. Four Israeli activists were arrested while leaving the village after the protests. One news reporter from AB News was arrested while trying to enter the village.
The roadblock prevented workers from going to their job, villagers to visit friends and family both inside and outside of Ni'lin, because one of the roadblocks divides the village in two parts. The Israeli army also stopped ambulances at the roadblock and prevented them to pass even though there were people injured. One 65 year old woman named Fayqa Hussni Khawaja was in need of hospital treatment, but because of the roadblock could not go. Soldiers drove into town several times to disturb the villagers. Boarder-police were also present in the village.
The demonstration was one of the biggest in Ni'lin's history. Despite the curfew, 600 villagers protested by joining the prayer-demonstration. This was a peaceful protest against the collective punishment of the village. The demonstration was attacked by sound-bombs, tear-gas, rubber-bullets and live ammunition. The protests kept on until about 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
The last two months 160 persons have been injured by rubber-bullets and 300 have been severely effected by tear-gas during demonstrations against the building of the wall, the settlements, the checkpoint and the collective punishment of the village. Amongst these there are children between 8 and 20 years.


When we think of a manufacturing business, we usually think of a business that manufactures a defined range of products. These products are manufactured in the same way every time. Product development typically involves a creative design phase, a process of testing and approval, prototyping or production trials and finally product launch. Much of our thinking and much manufacturing and supply chain literature assumes this model of manufacturing and product development.
Increasingly we see companies that operate in a different way. Their products are developed to meet a particular customer order. They don't have a prototyping process because the product is a one-off. That is, every product is effectively a prototype. They manufacture the product from some common parts on the shelf, but will also often require one off bespoke parts. These parts are ordered just for that particular customer order. Finally, these products usually have a long lead time from order to delivery. Orders are often inter-related and sequenced over a period of time. I call this type of manufacturing project manufacturing.
Project manufacturing is not new, shipbuilding is a great example that has been around for hundreds of years. However the major driver of the growth of project manufacturing is changing approaches to commercial and residential construction. Globally the last 20 years have seen more and more of the elements of buildings manufactured off site and delivered to site. This approach makes sense as building sites tend to have limited space and the ability to control complex assembly processes and perform them efficiently is limited. Shifting elements of construction off site, simplifies on-site work.
"Manufacturing efficiencies" can be achieved in specialised factories dedicated to one element of the construction project. The use of automated equipment greatly improves the efficiency of manufacturing and assembling elements such joinery, structural steel or wall framing. This is much more efficient than doing this work manually on site. Examples of off-site construction include modular and relocatable buildings, pre-fabricated framing, structural steel, joinery, modular bathrooms, building maintenance cranes, HVAC systems, pre-fabricated building facades and pre-cast concrete panels.
Project based construction is also frequently seen in shipbuilding, plant and equipment manufacture, aircraft manufacture, commercial vehicle fit out and heavy trailer manufacturing.
"Throwing Projects Over the Wall". For many project manufacturers, projects go through a series of handovers. Once the job is won, sales will hand over the project to engineering. Engineering will the complete the detailed design and hand over the designs and (hopefully) a bill of materials to purchasing. Purchasing then order the parts and hand the job over to manufacturing. The problem with this approach is that no-one owns the whole project and that delays are allowed early in the project (often at customer instigation) that then compress lead times at the end of the project leading to expediting, escalating costs and late delivery. An effective project management function and end to end project management processes is essential to ensure that budgets and deadlines are met.
A lack of standardisation and reliance on "ground up" customisation. Project manufactured products are inevitably one-offs, but that does not mean that they need to be completely bespoke in every way. Often engineers are allowed too much freedom to design every product in a unique way. Clear engineering standards, use of standard materials from a limited range of suppliers, standard sub-assemblies and customisation using "plug and play" options can greatly reduce cost, lead time, complexity and design risk.
Material shortages. Many project business spend their days expediting materials. Unfortunately expediting always leads to more expediting as pushing one order forward inevitably pushes other orders back. Kanban systems can be highly effective for standard items such as fasteners, fittings, common raw materials and standard subassemblies. For bespoke parts, they need to be identified in the handover from sales, ordered as early as possible and then tracked by the project manager. Supplier lead times need to be respected and planned for.
Incomplete and inaccurate information from sales and the customer: Products are usually highly complex in project manufacturing. It is reasonable for engineering to insist that information handed over on each new product is complete and accurate. Avoid the temptation to "just get started", when information is incomplete as this rarely saves time and often leads to rework and errors. It is fair to expect that if customers fail to meet deadlines for providing information then delivery dates get pushed back accordingly.
Inadequate information provided to production: Too often production is expected to "just know" what to do when information on drawings and specifications is incomplete or inaccurate. This inevitably leads to errors and rework. Drawings need to be fully detailed and simple techniques such as colour coding can help prevent simple errors such as folding a part the wrong way or welding a cleat on the wrong side of a beam. A manufacturing engineering function can often greatly help the smooth transfer of information from engineering to production.
A lack of production "flow": Project based manufacturers often believe that they don't have a flow. Products are manufactured in on place on the factory floor in what we call a "static build". Workers often move from product to product based on availability of parts, "priorities" and, in some cases, worker preference. This approach is space hungry, leads to long and unpredictable lead times, provides little indication of production progress and means that every tool and every material has to be transported to every job. On the other hand, creating a "pulse flow" where products move at prescribed intervals provides a visual indicator of progress and sets a real imperative to solve problems quickly so that products can keep moving. The result is usually shorter lead times, higher productivity and better use of factory space.
Starting jobs that you can't finish. Often the temptation can be to get a project in to production, before you have all the parts, drawings and information. This is fraught with risk. Instead, develop a "good to go" process where jobs are only released to the line if all the parts and documentation is ready. If project managers see that the production "timeslots" are approaching, it tends to focus their mind to make sure that everything is delivered on time and that their project is "good to go" and does not miss its scheduled production time slot.
Project manufacturing is a growing phenomenon, especially in construction. It is true that this type of manufacturing requires a different approach to traditional manufacturing. However, if the benefits of project manufacturing are to be truly delivered then Lean thinking needs to be applied in a targeted way to ensure that project manufactured products are always delivered on time, on quality and on budget.
