Public Pensions Under Fire
Now that they've destroyed the housing market, Wall Street is taking aim at public pensions.
By Karoli Kuns — October 8, 2013
Wall Street billionaires must be fed, even in these times of austerity. Because their greed is matchless, they've taken aim at public pensions this time, and are bent on consuming them by breaking contracts with workers in order to grab a chunk of their earned retirement security.
David Sirota has written a blockbuster report about how they're aiming at public pensions in all 50 states. It's coordinated, it's intentional, and the sole beneficiaries are Wall Street investment managers and maybe a couple of Texas billionaires who made their billions by looting the pensions of Enron workers. (I'm looking at YOU, John Arnold.)
Matt Taibbi has more:
Here's what this game comes down to. Politicians run for office, promising to deliver law and order, safe and clean streets, and good schools. Then they get elected, and instead of paying for the cops, garbagemen, teachers and firefighters they only just 10 minutes ago promised voters, they intercept taxpayer money allocated for those workers and blow it on other stuff. It's the governmental equivalent of stealing from your kids' college fund to buy lap dances. In Rhode Island, some cities have underfunded pensions for decades. In certain years zero required dollars were contributed to the municipal pension fund. "We'd be fine if they had made all of their contributions," says Stephen T. Day, retired president of the Providence firefighters union. "Instead, after they took all that money, they're saying we're broke. Are you f*cking kidding me?"
There's an arcane but highly disturbing twist to the practice of not paying required contributions into pension funds: The states that engage in this activity may also be committing securities fraud. Why? Because if a city or state hasn't been making its required contributions, and this hasn't been made plain to the ratings agencies, then that same city or state is actually concealing what in effect are massive secret loans and is actually far more broke than it is representing to investors when it goes out into the world and borrows money by issuing bonds.
Another manufactured crisis! In the real world where most of us live, federal law requires employers to properly fund their pension plans and to pay insurance premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to insure that at least part of employees' pensions are federally insured.
There are two exceptions to that rule. Church and public pensions are exempt from that requirement. It should come as no surprise, then, to discover that both are seriously underfunded. Chron.com reports on church pensions:
A pension is, essentially, a promise. For millions of workers counting on pension checks for retirement security, that promise comes with protections. Even as many companies move to freeze the benefits and eliminate them for younger workers, federal law requires most private employers with pension plans to contribute to them and insure them, in case they fail to honor their obligations.
But as the situation at St. Mary's shows, those protections do not cover all workers or pensions. Because of a legal loophole, there are actually parallel pension systems. One comes with safeguards. The other, while it may be backed by good faith and honorable intentions, has no safety net.
Congress set it up that way by crafting an exemption in benefits law to protect churches from government interference in their finances. But the exemption applies to religiously affiliated employers like hospitals and service agencies, including some that have let pension funds dwindle.
One might forgive charities for sacrificing pensions to help people, I suppose, though I can't resist poking at those conservatives who claim charities can take care of health care rather than the government. Clearly they cannot. But public pensions? That's something entirely different.
Pew Charitable Trusts Partner With Wall Street To Target Public Pensions
David Sirota:
As Taibbi's Rolling Stone piece and my report documented, Rhode Island is the Democratic template for Arnold's pension-slashing agenda. There, with the backing of Arnold's cash and the Pew Charitable Trusts, the state's Wall Street-funded politicians pled poverty as a justification to slash retiree benefits. Yet, almost all of the $2.3 billion cut to retirees' cost of living increases didn't go to saving the state money – most of it was handed over to billionaire hedge fund managers. Meanwhile, despite the pleas of poverty, the Ocean State apparently had so much cash lying around, reformers preserved the state's$356 million in annual corporate welfare, including a $75 million headline-grabbing giveaway to former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Engineering such a huge and successful corporate heist in the Democratic state of Rhode Island, Arnold now appears to be taking his same road show from the smallest state in the nation to one of the biggest economies in the entire world – the Democratic state of California.
It is a bold move that this young billionaire has been planning for a while. As IRS financial reports show, Arnold has already been funneling money to right-wing groups in Californiathat promote plans to slash retiree benefits. PR-wise, the effort has worked – Google "California" and "pension" and inevitably you will be hit with a wave of media sensationalism about how an alleged financial emergency in the Golden State means retiree benefits must be cut (even as far more expensive corporate welfare is preserved). Most of that news coverage doesn't mention any inconvenient facts that might be debunk the hysteria.
It's an easy formula: States fail to contribute to workers' pensions in difficult economic times but continue to hand out corporate welfare like candy because...jobs. Then they manufacture a crisis where pensions are underfunded and lawmakers set out to cut them, rather than touching any small piece of corporate welfare.
As a final embellishment, an orchestrated campaign is launched to convert public pensions to 401k plans, shifting the retirement savings burden over to the worker and giving Wall Street a huge bonus by pouring all of those worker dollars into investments managed by mutual fund and hedge fund managers. When the market tanks, there's no penalty to the states, counties and cities because they've washed their hands of any obligation to pay into workers' retirement plans.
What's Pew got to do with it? They've partnered with former Enron executive John Arnold to manufacture the crisis. Taibbi:
In 2011, Pew began to align itself with a figure who was decidedly neither centrist nor nonpartisan: 39-year-old John Arnold, whom CNN/Money described (erroneously) as the "second-youngest self-made billionaire in America," after Mark Zuckerberg. Though similar in wealth and youth, Arnold presented the stylistic opposite of Zuckerberg's signature nerd chic: He's a lipless, eager little jerk with the jug-eared face of a Division III women's basketball coach, exactly what you'd expect a former Enron commodities trader to look like. Anyone who has seen the Oscar-winning documentary The Smartest Guys in the Room and remembers those tapes of Enron traders cackling about rigging energy prices on "Grandma Millie" and jamming electricity rates "right up her ass for f*cking $250 a megawatt hour" will have a sense of exactly what Arnold's work environment was like.
Pew and the Arnold Foundation ducked earlier public scrutiny by "partnering" with one another rather than one giving direct grants to the other. But the outcome is the same: Pew and Arnold are lobbying states to cut or eliminate public pensions entirely.
Diminishing Workers' Voice...and Their Lives
Public pension funds have the ability to hold large blocks of corporate stocks within the fund, which gives workers a voice at stockholders' meetings where they make decisions that directly affect workers. If Pew, Arnold, and the rest of the right wing establishment succeed in destroying public pensions, workers' voices will fall silent at these meetings, leaving the decision-making in the hands of the hedge funders and the corporate moguls.
Never mind that these public entities entered into a contractual obligation to fund their workers' pensions, and that those obligations were part of an overall compensation package. Never mind that, because Wall Street wants those dollars and they want to diminish workers' voices and power throughout the country. What better way to erode wages than to exercise their power and tell workers contracts don't matter?
Meanwhile, states show no signs of backing away from the corporate welfare they're giving. From Sirota's full report (PDF):
Rather than acknowledge that truth, Pew and Arnold have successfully manufactured the perception of crisis – which has prompted demands for dramatic action. Pew and Arnold have consequently helped shape those general demands into specific efforts to cut guaranteed retirement income – all while downplaying (or altogether omitting) any discussion of the possibility of raising revenue through, for instance, ending taxpayer-funded corporate subsidies and so-called "tax expenditures." This deceptive message persists, even though these annual subsidies are typically far larger than the annual pension shortfalls. Indeed, to advocate cuts in retirement benefits, Pew and Arnold cite a 30-year, $1.38 trillion pension gap – a $46 billion annual shortfall.11 Yet, they rarely ever mention that, as The New York Times reports, "states, counties and cities are giving up more than $80 billion each year to companies" in the form of subsidies and tax expenditures.12
Such an insidiously selective message is eerily reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's infamous "There Is No Alternative" framing. It suggests that harming millions of middle-class workers is the only way forward – and that states shouldn't dare consider raising pension-fund revenue by eliminating corporate subsidies. Thanks to Pew, Arnold and other groups, this has now become the dominant argument even though the amount state and local governments now spend on such wasteful handouts is far greater than the pension shortfalls.
Perhaps the most famous illustration of the pervasiveness of this deceptive argument comes from Detroit, Michigan. When the city recently declared bankruptcy, much of the media and political narrative around the fiasco simply assumed that public pension liabilities are the problem. Few noted that both Detroit and the state of Michigan have for years been spending hundreds of millions of dollars on wasteful corporate subsidies.13 Worse, the very same political leaders pleading poverty to demand cuts to municipal pensions were simultaneously promising to spend more than a quarterbillion taxpayer dollars on a professional hockey arena.
Sirota concludes that eliminating corporate subsidies for one year would fully fund all of those underfunded public pension plans. Yet instead, they're banging the drum to kill public pensions altogether and if they don't succeed, we're likely to hear that the reason there are no jobs is because we're not giving corporations enough money in subsidies to justify hiring.
Something is deeply wrong here. We all know it. If money equals speech as the Supreme Court has ruled, then the only speakers in this country will be billionaires, Wall Street, and corporations. That's plutocracy, not democracy.

"Death from chloroform"
(3 April 1858): 279
Letter from Dr. John Snow, M.D.
Sir,--I am surprised to find that Mr. Prichard has taken offence at my late-communication on chloroform, and for a reason that is purely imaginary. He says that I referred to the two unfortunate cases which occurred in Bristol as if they were the only fatal instances on record. On the contrary, I referred to them only in comparison with all the other cases. Any one who has never heard of chloroform would perceive from my paper that there had been a number of other fatal cases, forty-nine of which, at least, had been recorded. I cannot perceive that there was any cruelty in referring to two cases which had been published in the Journal in which I was writing; but there would have been a cruelty in my neglecting to speak, on any suitable opportunity, of the advantages and perfect safety of chloroform, when properly and carefully managed, which I had witnessed almost daily for more than ten years. The proposal of Mr. Prichard to use anæsthetics only in a few great operations would almost abolish the greatest improvement that was ever made in surgery; for the fact of their application being so limited would make them a terror to the few patients who were allowed to inhale them.
I do not propose that any risk should be incurred by the administration of chloroform, but, on the contrary, that, unless a person is satisfied that he can give chloroform without risk, he had better use sulphuric ether. It was not merely because no one had recorded a death from sulphuric ether, that I spoke of its safety, but also because it will not cause those very sudden deaths in animals which depend on paralysis of the heart, and which chloroform can be made to produce at will. Only a small part of the dose of ether which it is necessary to inhale can be present in the lungs at one time; whilst a very large proportion, even the whole dose of chloroform, may be contained in the lungs at once. The question of the amount of vapour in the air under different circumstances is one of vital importance, and which every one must attend to who wishes to understand the action of narcotic vapours. Mr. Prichard must be wrong in supposing that it is the condition of insensibility that puts the patient in peril of his life. Hundreds of thousands of persons have been insensible without harm; whilst Mr. Prichard's own patient, and several others, died from chloroform without being made insensible at all.
I thought I had made my opinion sufficiently clear in my paper, that chloroform may be given with safety to every patient requiring a surgical operation; and that danger does not depend on the kind of patient, but on the way in which the agent is given. I am not aware of ever having written opinions which are inconsistent with each other. I have used the same kind of chloroform inhaler for upwards of ten years, with very slight alteration; and during the progress of operations on the face, when I cannot use the inhaler, I employ the mixture of equal parts by measure of chloroform and spirit, which I have thought it right to recommend to those who do not wish to study and adopt and inhaler. I use chloroform generally in preference to sulphuric ether, because it is more convenient, and can be made equally safe.
I admit that most persons who have written on chloroform are opposed to its use in cases of fatty degeneration of the heart; but they write without experience. I am opposed to the pain of the knife being inflicted on such patients; and I write from experience of the favourable action of chloroform on a great number of patients having all the symptoms of fatty degeneration well marked. In several cases, the disease was verified in patients who died a few days after great operations.
Mr. Prichard is welcome to his own opinion as to the cause of the death of the patient with fatty heart to whom I was administering chloroform; but he is wrong when he says that any one else than myself would come to an opposite conclusion from my own. The only medical man present besides Mr. Hawkins and myself when that patient died, was Mr. George Pollock. He had had great experience of the action of chloroform, and was well acquainted with the patient. He gave me his opinion, without being asked for it, that the patient died of his heart-disease, and not of the chloroform. That patient was benefited very much by previous inhalations of chloroform, and probably had his life prolonged by them. He was relieved of a stone in his bladder the year before his death, by lithotrity, under chloroform, when Mr. Hawkins was of opinion that he could not have borne the operation without being put in a state of anæsthesia.
I am, etc.,
John Snow.
18, Sackville Street, March 27th, 1858.

Why should you focus on social sharing too?
Why should I take image optimisation into account?
Why should SEO be a priority?
We live in a world where the art of photography reached new and challenging meanings. People are taking photos from a wide range of gadgets (tablets, mobile devices, cameras) in order to easily share them with the world. They feel the need to show others what they see and get instant gratification for it. Basically, in a way or another everyone has become a certain kind of photographer, no matter the approach: street, food, events, products, people, etc.
On the other hand, few of them have a strong focus on becoming trustworthy players in this landscape. With other words, to invest time and energy to tailor a lifestyle out of photography and to pay their bills thanks to their passion. However, today is easier than ever to shape a path by building up a website that highlight the real you.
Over 27% of the biggest websites in the world are hosted on WordPress. You might not be a fan of numbers, but you can't ignore the huge impact this platform has in the digital playground. Its tremendous success is due to a bunch of factors, both tangible and non‐tangible. Nonetheless, the ease of use alongside with the liability asset makes WordPress a perfect fit for photographers, but not only.
Imagine you're a solopreneur who wants to spend the day by shooting a great wedding for the dear ones, a charming place walking down the street or some outstanding wood products, but he needs to postpone some of these activities. Why? Because he's too busy managing his website. Well, WordPress helps you narrow this gap so that you continue to do what you love most and maintaining a catchy website at the same time.
As you might know, the digital garden is full of WordPress themes. Some of them are great; others are disappointing. Therefore, it's your responsibility to dig deep and find the one that fits your needs. Don't be fooled by looking only at eye‐candy demos, and start searching for relevant info about the authors and their portfolio. Stick to the theme that is aligned to your specific requests because it's the only way to create value in the short and long run as well.
Noah is WordPress theme that was designed to solve your digital problems. We take well‐informed decision to make your life easier and help you to get traction in the www area. With Noah on board you don't only grab attention and get compliments from a lot of peoples, you also gather hot leads for your photography business. It's a genuine photography WordPress theme that brings visual stories in the spotlight. Smooth transitions and witty animations alongside with top notch design makes this product an authentic choice.
Having great images and content on your website is not a nice‐to‐have nor should be a surprise request for you. As a photographer, you already appreciate and respect the power of visuals, but what it's crucial to remember is your unique brand essence.
Select those images which line up with your identity, both regarding general mood, colors, and formats. On top of that, write content that is aligned to your particular tone‐of‐voice. No matter if you need a short description for some photos or a long story for your blog, make sure that everything is under the same roof. If you're a friendly person who likes to create meaningful connections with your customers than your content should be the same: relaxed, informal and cordial. Long story short: write as you speak and act.
In theory, as a photographer is easier to create an online community with people who appreciate and trust your work. This is happening mostly because great pics capture attention, and everyone is eager to share them through the social channels. However, this is only the beginning of building a consistent audience for your website. You need to actively do things in order to foster dialogue and empower them to act as brand ambassadors.
Keep in mind that communities can have a real impact on your photography business. They act as gateways for connecting with other folks that can become buyers of your products and services. That's why it's important to keep track with their needs, to actively listening to their ideas, and provide them valuable content.
There's no doubt that we live in a hyperconnected world. We're still adapting to this lifestyle, and we try to explore it in ways that are meaningful and useful for us. Social sharing is a great opportunity and it can weight the impact you're having in the digital world. It's a great start for creating an online community that appreciates and promotes your work. By gathering the right people around your website, you can easily expand your reputation through different social channels. However, we highly encourage you to stick to the ones that are suitable for your website and core activity and well. Otherwise, you will quickly dissolve your digital presence, and people will jump the boat.
Think of your website as you home. You don't want to have burglars around the corner who are staring and waiting for the perfect moment to get in and steal something that's important to you, right? Well, pretty much could happen to your website if you don't take online security seriously. You could be hacked, and lose the entire work you spend so much time to make it happen.
On top of that, there are alarming numbers to consider: in 2015, Google reported that hacking had increased 180%, while other researchers reported that 86% of all websites contained at least one severe vulnerability.
It is said that image optimisation is an art that you should learn to master. There are tons of arguments why we highly recommend to invest into image optimisation, especially because you're a photographer. You already know that images can boost an article and make it more vivid, but it also contributes to improving the SEO of your website.
With other words, you should deeply care about having a spotless website from top to toe, and image optimisation is an important part of the puzzle. You do much more than improving the Google ranking you will do much more than that: offer a lovely experience for the people who are eager to read and enjoy your website.
Once you have a website, SEO is something you can't avoid. Google starts indexing your content, and if you don't have knowledge about how to maximize its potential things can get blurry. Moreover, it's estimated that three out of four clicks from Internet searches go to top five positions on Google. Also, keep in mind that there are millions of pages on the web that can match a potential keyword. Any site that hopes to rank high for a particular word or phrase is going to have to make sure their site's SEO gives them the best possible chance.
This article applies to Border, Fargo, Lens, Noah, and Timber as they share the same underlying structure.

Reverse cut-off point or scrap JAMB – NANS

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened to call for the scrapping of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) if it failed to reverse the low cut off points for admission into universities and polytechnics.
NANS National Public Relations Officer Bestman Okereafor made this known in statement made available to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Saturday.
He said that if the demand of the association, the most important stakeholder in the education sector was not met in reasonable time, it would call for the scrapping of JAMB:
Conclusively NANS will not hesitate to call for the scrapping of JAMB if the decision is not withdrawn without further delay. The national leadership of the apex students governing body, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), frowned at the drastic reduction of the JAMB unified cut off mark to 120, for admission into Nigeria universities. NANS sees this as a means of further degrading the level of the already falling and failing academic performance and excellence in Nigeria institutions. In lieu of this, NANS under the able leadership of the proactive NANS President, Comrade Aruna Kadiri, is calling on JAMB to reverse this inimical act without further delay or face the anger of Nigerian students.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that JAMB after its Unified Matriculation Examination met with stakeholders, it fixed 120 and 100 as cut-off points for admission into universities and polytechnics in the country. (NAN)


I have every excuse in the book; some of them are completely valid, some are just lame.
But it seems like every time I think I can't write, inspiration just throws itself in my way. It might be an overheard conversation or a picture in a magazine. I was running dry on my second book when I heard a song on the radio. It was my character's song. It was his voice singing out, and he was telling me how he didn't have any choice but to love the woman he was so dead set on resisting. I had to finish telling his story.
This week it was a couple of random tv programs. They were both on channels I don't watch. One was on the Military Channel, a network I don't think I've ever seen before. Again, there was the character for the next book I was planning. I watched things he'd gone through, felt his fears, and was amazed by his strength. I immediately started making notes and sketching out a character profile. Another program gave me the perfect settingfor my WIP. Everything was exactly the way I wanted to describe it. I couldn't wait to write it down.
There are all kinds of little things that just seem to force themselves on my attention and say "write about me now." Then occasionally something big just comes out of nowhere and clobbers me over the head. When I least expected it, I was awarded a sabbatical that I'd given up hope of ever getting. A whole quarter off to travel to the places I'm writing about and experience them with all my senses. A quarter off to refresh and renew myself. A quarter to write and write and write.
Sometimes the universe is subtle and whispers to you, but at other times it screams until you listen.

Q: MySQL NDBCLUSTER: is it good for large scale solutions? one question about NDBCLUSTER.
I inherited the writing of a web site basing on NDBCLUSTER 5.1 solution (LAMP platform).
Unfortunately, who designed the former solution didn't realize that this database engine has strong limits. One, the maximum number of fields a table can have is 128. The former programmer conceived tables with 369 fields in a single row, one for each day of the year plus some key field (he originally worked with MyISAM engine). Ok it must be refactored, anyways, I know.
What is more, the engine needs a lot of tuning: maximum number of attributes for a table (which defaults to 1000, a bit too few) and many other parameters, the misinterpretation or underestimation of which can lead to serious problems once you're in production with your database and you're forced to change something.
Even the fact that disk storage for NDBCLUSTER tables is kind of aleatory if not precisely configured: even if specified in CREATE TABLE statements, the engine seems to prefer keeping data in memory - which explains the speed - but can be a pain if your table on node 1 should suddenly collapse (as it did during testing). All table data lost on all nodes and table corrupted after 1000 records only.
We were on a server with 8Gb RAM, and the table had just 27 fields.
Please note that no ndb_mgm operation for nodes shutdown ran to compromise table data. It simply fell down, full stop. Our provider didn't understand why.
So the question is: would you recommend NDBCLUSTER as a stable solution for a large scale web service database?
We're talking about a database which should contain several millions of records, thousands of tables and thousands of catalogues.
If not that which database would you recommend as the best to accomplish the task of making a nation-level scale web service.
Thanks in advance.

A: I have a terrible experience with NDBCLUSTER. It's good replacement for memcached with range invalidation, nothing more. The stability and configurability does not exist for this solution. You can not force all processes to listen on specific ports, backup was working but I have to edit bkp files in vim to restore database etc..

Everyone knows that dolphins make the best of friends. All this spectacular dolphin needs is somebody to love. From beak to fluke, this huggable stuffed animal is shaped just right for snuggling, and features soft, plush, pet-me fabric. This piece makes a great gift or addition to any collection!


While my nails are in rehab, I can fondly, sort of, go through my photos of swatches and remember some good times. I bought nail wheels this week because I have so many new and old polishes that haven't been swatched. It's going to be a marathon on wheels. It will surely do my nails good to continue to recuperate.
I should show more of the Safari collection that China Glaze put out before another collection shows up. However, every one of the shades from that collection were lovely. They were unique for my collection. I had a lot of favorites, unable to pick just one.
This is 'I Herd That' and it is a special one from the whole collection. I would think this shade would be better for a Christmas collection but hey, why wait?
'I Herd That' has colors in it that do make me think of the Serengeti, as well. It is a micro-glitter with bronze, gold and red. I don't know how I can associate colors of the Serengeti with something that could be in a Christmas collection but, that's the fun and quirkiness of the beauty industry.
It looks gritty because it is. I, actually, don't mind that. When it makes something look this awesome, I'm very OK with texture. Notice something, though. I only put one coat on my thumb. So, for a more toned down look that could be office-friendly, this just could do it. Let me know what you think because I don't work in an office setting and I wear anything.
'I Herd That' isn't disco ball sparkly. It's almost matted. And I think that's what gives this a softer personality. I didn't put on any top coat because I liked it just the way it was. And it wore very well. This polish gave a good wear for the 4 days I kept it on. And, 'I Herd That' was one that I was reluctant to remove, I enjoyed it so much. It must have been reluctant to leave me too because it took some of that extra 'get this glitter off' work. Even though, I could easily bring this polish back out at Christmas.
How about wearing this to work…yay or nay? Do you like the softened glitter look?

The independant company The Bitmap Brothers was co-founded in Wapping, East London in 1987 by Mike Montgomery, Eric Matthews and Steve Kelly.
Within a year their first game was completed and from the very start Xenon established them with a reputation as developers with an eye for detail and the ability to polish every aspect of a game to perfection, not to mention a knack for self promotion. In an unusual but very deliberate move they decided to include a digitized animation and a voice sample of one of the team to announce the start of every level. The game was a big success and gave the new developers the distinction of producing the first ever Amiga game to enter the UK's All Formats Top 40. Its popularity also lead to it being featured on the Saturday morning childrens program 'Get Fresh'.
In the same year their second game Speedball was released. A future sports game featuring the same quality of graphics and design, Speedball was another huge hit for the Bitmaps and showed that the first game was certainly no fluke.
For the third game by the Brothers they decided to make a sequel to their first game Xenon. In a unique move for game developers, the Bitmaps teamed up with record label Rhythm King and Tim Simenon's dance music act Bomb the Bass. The result was a game that not only outshone both their previous releases in terms of visuals and gameplay, but also for the first time featured 'real' music as you played, a remix of Bomb the Bass's Dance hit 'Megablast' Xenon 2 was universally acclaimed and became an instant classic.
The decision to include real music into their game was an incredible success and became a popular feature in some of their later releases with the Bitmaps working with Nation XII for both Speedball 2 and Gods, and remixing Betty Boo's 'Doin the Doo' for Magic Pockets.
With their reputation quickly growing the Bitmap Brothers decided to work with the games magazines of the time by allowing them to feature preview demos of some of their upcoming games on coverdisks. Starting by simultaneously releasing exclusive demos of their next game Cadaver for the Amiga and the Atari ST, it would prove to be a very clever move by the Brothers and gain them even more recognition.
The success of their games, the promotion of Xenon and later Magic Pockets on the television, along with the ingenious idea of releasing preview tasters of Cadaver on magazine coverdisks, all combined to propel the team as individuals into the gaming publics awareness. This was always one of the aims of the Bitmaps as they believed that as developers they should be at the forefront, as opposed to just the software house taking all the credit. They became the first game development team to have almost a rock star image and were often seen in magazines wearing their trademark black shades while striking a cool pose for the camera, usually in a suitably moody black and white.
The end of 1990 saw the release of the sequel to Speedball. For Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe the Bitmaps enlisted the talents of renowned comic book artist Glenn Fabry. Fabry's unique artistic style was used to produce the box art for the game and gave it a dark violent look that suited the theme of Speedball perfectly. Another well known comic artist, Simon Bisley, would later be called upon to produce the box art for Gods and an add on disk for Cadaver called The Payoff. The results are truly unique looking game boxes.
Before the release of Gods in 1991, the success of the Bitmap Brothers previous games allowed them to set up their own publishing label Renegade. The aim of Renegade was to provide a publisher for high quality developers that would give the teams a bigger share of the profits than the average software house. Renegade would go on to be a big success for the Bitmaps with some of the biggest games of the 16-bit era being released under its banner, not to mention all upcoming Bitmap Brothers titles which included Magic Pockets, Cadaver The Payoff and The Chaos Engine and its sequel.
From the start of the 16-bit era to its end the Bitmap Brothers produced classic after classic. Never before or since had there been a development team to produce such consistant high quality. With an unparalelled back catalogue, The Bitmap Brothers reputation was set in stone and still is to this day.
The success of the Bitmap Brothers can be attributed to the fact that they very cleverly marketed themselves as 'star' developers and took every opportunity to showcase themselves and their games to the public in both television and on magazine coverdisks. Along with this, every one of their games was given the same incredible levels of attention to detail, which made them stand head and shoulders above every other release of the time. As if this were not enough, they also managed to successfully create a classic game accross many different genres.
There really was something for everyone in their catalogue, which ranged from Shoot-Em-Ups like the Xenon games to the isometric adventure puzzle games of Cadaver and The Payoff.
As well as being incredibly successful with the game buying public, The Bitmap Brothers also gained critical acclaim, with their games being awarded numerous awards for their technical and innovative achievements.
The 16-bit era was a golden age for gaming with almost endless classics across many different platforms. The fact that The Bitmap Brothers are highly regarded by everyone and considered the best developers of all time by many is a testament to their genius, and a recognition truly deserved.
The team that produced these classic games were Mike Montgomery, Eric Matthews, Steve Kelly, Graeme Boxall, Steve Tall, Rob Trevellyan, Dan Malone, Sean Griffiths, Marc Coleman and Richard Joseph.
As fans of theirs these pages are a tribute to their work.

5 Alternative Strategies For Headache Relief
Popping a pill. When it comes to putting a stop to migraines or other headache pain, that's the first step that many people take. But if you're concerned about how much over-the-counter medication you're swallowing, there are other head pain relief strategies to try, many as close as your kitchen.
MUST READ: Headache Locations: What Do They Mean?
With the power of alternative medicine, and several simple home remedies, you can take control of headaches naturally.
"It is easy to become reliant on drugs — we all live in a fast-paced nation, and there is little understanding when you miss obligations over a headache," says Moshe Lewis, MD, a pain management specialist in Redwood City, Calif.
The next time you feel the pounding about to begin, try these 5 ideas to conquer headaches:
Acupressure. Performed by a qualified practitioner, acupressure can bring relief for headaches and a variety of other pain-related conditions, says Lewis. Japanese research explains that acupressure may work by stimulating the autonomic nervous system, which is why it may have an impact on headache and related conditions such as chronic neck pain.
MUST READ: 4 Times Your Headache Is Something More Serious
Though recent studies haven't been done, earlier research on 500 people with frequent headaches found that self-administered acupressure was helpful and worth trying because there are no negative side effects.
Ice. Applying ice or a cold pack to an injury is an age-old home remedy for all types of pain, and it may do the trick for migraines and other headache pain, too. Wrap your cold pack in a thin cloth to prevent your head from becoming too cold and apply it directly to your forehead.
Lewis suggests sticking to just 10 minutes an hour, as needed, to keep your whole body from getting a chill.

In the past Insurance was a debatable matter. People were reluctant to take any kind of insurance. However, President Barack Obama bought in a slew of changes in the Affordable Care Act of 2010. This law has helped change the insurance landscape of the US. We shall now look at the major changes in the insurance sector over the past decade. We shall look at the Pre-Obama period and the post 2010 period for an easier understanding of the concept.
Then – In case you had a pre-existing health problem, the insurance company had the right to charge you a higher premium. They also had the right to deny you an insurance policy.
Now – Since 2014, the Government has removed this discrimination. Today, no insurance company can deny you coverage based on your pre-existing or current health condition. They do not have the option of charging you a higher premium too. As far as children less than 19 years are concerned, this change has come into effect from September 23, 2010.
Then – It is true that some large employers and insurers expanded employee wellness programs to include screenings at no extra cost. However, there was a huge involvement of out-of-pocket expenses. This discouraged people from opting for the schemes.
Now – Since September 23, 2010, all health plans have to offer preventive services and treatments to all without involvement of any out–of-pocket costs. This has come as a boon to people of all ages.
Then – Prior to Obama Care, children over the age group of 18 years / 21 years did not have treatment as dependents of their parents. Hence, about 4 out of 10 young adulated were in the uninsured bracket.
Now – Since September 23, 2010, children below the age of 26 years can remain in or return to their parent's plan even in case, they became financially independent. This benefited many upper middle class families.
Then – There were limits in place on the amount of claims annually as well as over the life of the policy. This used to have an adverse effect on the percentage of the population lodging such claims.
Now – They have removed all the limits in 2010. In addition, the insurance companies cannot impose any fresh limits for policies starting from 2014 onwards. However, some insurance companies find a way out. They limit the number of days in the hospital thereby indirectly reducing the claim.
Then – The US used to spend huge amounts on health care annually, much more than the other developed countries. Out of this expense, a majority of amounts went towards the administrative costs and overheads resulting in huge profits for insurance companies.
Now – The Obama Care regime envisages insurers to submit proposed rate increases to federal review. In case an insurer spent less than 80% of the individual plan, the law envisages a refund of the excess amount to the insured policyholders. This is a stupendous bonus for the policyholders.
Then – There was a practice of revoking the insurance cover of people in case the insurance companies found out a small error in the insurance application. They also had the liberty to ask for refund of any claims paid on such policies.
Now – The insurance companies can now cancel the coverage on only two instances. One is outright submission of false information by the policyholder and the other is the non-payment of premiums. The insurance companies cannot deny coverage for any other reason.
Then – The insurance companies were under no obligation to explain the reasons of refusal of the claim to the policyholder. The policyholder had no avenue for redressal.
Now – The insurers have to give valid reasons for denial of any claim. The policyholder has an avenue of challenging the decision. An independent organization has the power to overturn the decision.
We have seen seven changes in the insurance sector because of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
There have been some more changes in the insurance sector over the past decade. We shall look at some of them.
Change in the primary network: The consumers have the right to change their insurers on an annual basis.
Additional coverage for spouse: There have been changes by allowing for inclusion of your spouse in your policy by paying an extra premium.
Wellness programs: The past decade has seen introduction of large number of wellness plans in the insurance sector.
Inclusion of Transgender population into the network: This community has seen inclusion in the insurance sector over the past decade.

Hamilton extends championship lead after routine Hungarian GP victory
Lewis Hamilton extended his lead at the top of the drivers' championship standings to 24 points over title rival Sebastian Vettel after completing a welcome routine victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
After the dramas of Silverstone and Hockenheim, where the Mercedes driver had to produce two of his greatest ever drives to slice his way through the field, Hamilton led from pole to flag to win from Vettel and the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen.
Valtteri Bottas dropped from second to fifth with only a few laps remaining, losing a part of his front wing in an attempt to defend position from Vettel, the German fortunate to escape without damage himself.
Daniel Riccardo was an excellent fourth for Red Bull having started 12th on the grid ahead of Bottas and the equally impressive Toro Rosso of Pierre Gasly. Kevin Magnussen, Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Romain Grosjean rounded off the points scoring finishers.
"Guys, big, big thank you to everyone back at the factory. That was a tough race for us, tough weekend for us. We came out with some good points so I'm really proud of you," said a jubilant Hamilton after crossing the line.
"What a beautiful day, what a great crowd we've had and really what an amazing job for the team," added Hamilton after emerging from his car. "We came here knowing that the Ferraris would be real quick this weekend but to come out with these points, we'll definitely take as a bonus for us. We deserved the holiday this time."
The die was cast from the start, Hamilton holding his advantage into the first corner from Bottas as Vettel found his way around Raikkonen at Turn 2. The Force Indias of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez were also strong starters, up to 14th and 15th from the back of the grid – as was Ricciardo, the Aussie daredevil catapulting himself to 6th from 12th despite early contact with Marcus Ericsson.
Less fortunate was Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen, the Dutchman experiencing yet more misfortune after retiring with an MPU issue on lap 6.
"What a f*** joke all the f****** time with this s***, honestly!" It's fair to say that Verstappen was less than happy with yet another retirement.
Raikkonen was the first of the big hitters to pit on lap 15, re-joining the field in sixth but losing out to Bottas' Mercedes. Then came the vital move, race leader Hamilton pitting ten laps later than his teammate, a 2.7 second stop set him up perfectly for a routine race victory.
With Vettel staying out until lap 40 and being held up by traffic, a slow pitstop scuppered his changes, Bottas flying past the Ferrari down the main straight as the German exited the pit lane.
"Something was stuck at the rear," said Vettel of his slow pit stop. "It was a tough race. We were a little bit out of position for the speed we had. We couldn't go with Lewis today in terms of race pace but I had a good start, surprising on the harder tyre, which was good and I was in third.
"Then obviously we had a little bit of an issue at the pitstop and came out behind Valtteri. I realized right away that I couldn't get him because his tyres were fresh. So I was sitting back and waiting and trying to line up everything for the last ten laps and it worked."
It all sets up the championship nicely heading into a long break of almost a month when racing returns to the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.
Come rain or shine – the accurate lottery of weather forecasting
It has been an unseasonably scorching summer in many countries across Europe and for Formula One's weather forecasters, the job had been a relatively easy one regarding tyre gambles.
All that changed, however, during the past two grands prix as the hot weather finally cracked, leading to a late deluge of rain that threw the German Grand Prix into chaos and making for an interesting wet-weather qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Not only does the changeable weather impact on the clothing choice of traveling F1 fans, it also makes the job of team strategists an extremely taxing one as they try to make a call when to gamble on intermediate or wet tyres or alternatively stay out on the slicks.
Teams are accurately able to judge when a bank of rain is approaching in the pits or on the pit wall to within a matter of minutes and relay that information to the driver over the radio and it's all made possible by tapping into a local weather system via an internal F1 intranet. Meteo France used to be the official Formula One weather supplier but now that job falls to Ubimet, the Austrian forecaster who supplies weather data to race control and the 11 teams. It is so precise that it can predict everything a team needs to know about during a race, from wind strength and direction to the more vital information of when the first drops of rain will fall and where.
"It's maybe a tonne of equipment that has to be carried around the world," meteorologist Steffen Dietz is quoted on the official F1 website. "The big piece of equipment is the weather radar which we assemble on-site. We'll locate it somewhere in the vicinity of the track, but high up if possible. At Spa it's in a cow pasture, but somewhere like Interlagos we place it on the top of a skyscraper, 27 floors up. It needs to be portable.
"Via a web portal we provide the radar but also the station data, the different model forecasts, and a live ticker during the track sessions. For rainfall, our aim is to forecast to the minute when rain will arrive, when it will leave, how much rain will fall and so on."
Of course, no system is fool proof, and even if it is accurate to within seconds, a car may have to negotiate a sudden burst of rain on normal compound tyres before completing the best part of a lap to pit for intermediates or wet tyres or risk staying out in the hope that the shower is just passing, and the track will quickly dry again.
As we saw at Hockenheim, a micro-climate at the circuit meant that there was a downpour of rain at certain parts of the circuit whilst it remained bone dry elsewhere. That's when human intuition also comes into play, the proverbial wet finger into the air approach.
For some teams it worked out, those opting to stay on slicks and hope it was a passing shower worked out with drivers using all their skill to tip-toe around the circuit for the couple of laps when the rain was at its fiercest.
Others gambled and pitted for intermediates, only to find the tyres quickly degrading as the rain abated and having to stop again for dry slick tyres. Toro Rosso gambled even further, putting Pierre Gasly on full wet tyres.
It proved a gamble too far but wasn't the daftest move in the world as the heavens opened only minutes after the race ended, making the race track and pitlane more like a river than tarmac.
Yet even the very best drivers in the world don't always get it right when staying on the optimum tyre in damp conditions. Just ask Sebastian Vettel!
The job of the team tacticians will again be tested when racing resumed at the notoriously tricky Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Belgian Ardennes, which has a micro-climate like no other in the world. The weather often changes minute-by-minute with rain suddenly appearing in one sector whilst another remains bone dry.
This is where race engineers and drivers alike will be tested to the utmost and it's something to look forward to as the F1 circus takes its well-earned mid-season break.

It is dealing with Upnishads, Later Vedic Period, developing and evolving over 2 millennias. There are two types of Schools first is Orthodox (astika) or non-orthodox (nastika), if Veda is an infallible source of knowledge or not.
Six orthodox schools: Nyaya, Veisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva mimansa and Vedanta (also called as Uttar mimansa). The Heterodox are Jain, Buddhist and materialist (Cārvāka).
Then various schools have perished, but some have survived are: Jainism, Buddhism, Shavia and Advaita (part of Vedanta only), while Samkhya and Ajivika did not survived. "Philosopher" is dārśanika, familiar with the systems of philosophyor darśanas.
So, why these religious movements started to begin with Jainism and Buddhism. There are so many religions and why they were needed. This is the question UPSC asked.
Religious Movements: Superiority of the Brahamins and Vedic rituals became very complicated. Most of literature was written in Sanskrit and it was language of elites and out of understanding of common people. Caste system became extremely rigid, no changes of profession was allowed. Animal killing was prevailing during rituals, they were source of livelihood.
It was started by Gautam Buddha (Siddhartha adn also called as Shakya Muni). Born in 563 BC (some sources say he was born in 480 BC), Lumbini, Nepal and he got Moksha in Kushinagar, UP. At the age of 29, he left the palace with Chhanna (horse rider of Siddhartha) after encountering old, sick, dead, beggars. So, this event is called as Mahabhinishkraman i.e. The turning of the wheel of the low. Alar Kalam was the first guru of Gautam Buddha, he taught him Upanishads, to treat sorrow by meditation.
Another guru was Rudrak Ramputra, at the age of 35 he attained enlightenment under Peepal tree (peepul) in Bodhgaya, Bihar. In Sarnath (near Varanasi) first sermon was delivered before 5 Brahmins and this is called as Dharamchakrapravartan. Finally at the age of 80 he attained Moksha and it is called as Mahaparinirvana.
Dukkha: (Noble Truth of sorrow) - Birth, ageing, diseases, every wish unfulfilled is sorrow.
Dukkha Samudya (Noble Truth of origin of sorrows) - Trishna/desires.
Dukkha Nirodha: (Noble Truth of stopping sorrow) - Destroy Trishna.
Dukkha Nirodha Gamini Paripad: Middle path, Eight fold path, Ashtangika marg.
Samyak Drshti: Right Understanding - Free from superstition and delusion.
Samyak Vak: Right Speech, open and truthful.
Samyak Karma (Karmank): Right action, Peaceful, honest and pure.
Samyak Ajiva: Right livelihood, no danger to any living creature, physically or emotionally.
Samyak Vyayama: Right Efforts, Self control and training.
Samyak Smirti: Right Mindfulness, Active and watchful mind.
Samyak Samadhi: Right concentration, Earnest thought on deep mystery of life.
Buddhism code of conduct: Don't steal, No violence, No intoxicants, No lies, No corrupt practices.
Sangham: Rules and regulations of Sangh where all the monks lived.
Symbols: Pipal tree: Enlightenment, Chakra: Dharmachakrapravartan, Stupa: Mahaparinirvana, Horse: Mahabhinishkraman, Elephant + Lotus: Birth.
First in 483 BC (the year of Moksha), its held under the patronage of Ajatshtru, Mahakashyapa was the president and Rajgriha was the place. The teachings of Gautam Buddha compiled in 2 pitakas, Sutta Pitaka by Anand and Vinay Pitaka by Upali.
100 years hence (in 383 BC): Under the kingship of Kalasoka and president ship of Svakarni/Sarvakamini at Vaishali. So, Buddhism was divided it into Theravada/Sthaviras (Old teaching believers) and Mahasanghika (Liberals), and their third Pitak was also compiled i.e. Abhidhamma Pitak.
Then in 250 BC the time of Ashoka the great, under the president ship of Mogaliputta Tissa at Patliputra, to get rid of Sangha of corrupt practices. This was the agenda of third Buddhist council.
Fourth Buddhist council happened in 1st Century AD, Kingship of Kalishka, under the president ship of Vasumitra at Kundalvan.
Mahayana: They believed in idol worshiping and God, the great wheel, it was founded by Nagarjuna and it is most prevalent in China and Japan.
Hinayana: They are Symbol worshipers, they treated Gautam Buddha as a man, the lesser wheel and believed in old teachings of Gautam Buddha, it is prevalent in South Asia, Sri Lanka, Tibet and Myanmar.

My first foray into HAProxy, and I've been bashing my head against a wall trying to sort this one out.
I've got a pfSense 2.4.2-p1 install w/ HAProxy going to 2 different internal servers. Both servers load just fine, and you can navigate and browse.
However, if you do anything that takes time on either one, the connections are interrupted and dropped. One is an internal project management app on an IIS server, the other is a file hosting server running Rumpus. Timeout shouldn't be an issue as I've set both to 20 minutes. Doesn't appear to be load related as CPU load is minimal (80% free).
Downloading a file through the file manager, it starts at full speed then after a few MB it drops steadily in speed until the browser eventually reports a connection error.
Your server timeout is 2 minutes for the webapp, and a connect timeout shouldn't really be above 10 seconds, if it takes 10 seconds to get a working tcp connection there is some serious network issues even when accessing a server over the internet..
As for dropping established connections there could be different factors causing that.. Configuring the syslog on the haproxy settings tab(perhaps to the local syslog unixsocket) and enabling 'detailed logs' on the frontend should help tell if the client or server breaks the connection or a timeout is hit perhaps..
In case of doubt also run also capture the packets on both wan and lan side of haproxy to check with wireshark which side traffic gets interrupted.
