in conclusion, even in a fight at full distance(attacks with the arms fully extended in the end and gripping the staff on the very extremity, hitting with the other extremity), a real one when you are really trying to hit your opponent, or in a competition with non hurting equipment(even if you know you will not hurt your opponent, you really want to win and deliver a powerfull strike), no matter what, people with no MA training or very experienced fighters, on the same level, this kind of fight will never last more than a few seconds until someone gets hit(probably most would not last more than 2 seconds) the more newbies would get some bruises but the experienced fighters would inflict more tremendous damage.
with this, don't you agree that a staff fighter that practices more short range techniques is in disadvantage with fighting other that uses the full range of the staff? He would have to break the distance, and avoid a trust(tsuki? in japanese martial arts? i only know kendo) attack, and then, at closer distances its so much easier to grab the opponent's staff and punch him(that would be a problem for the one that is smaller/weaker body and would take advantage of the range of the weapon).
I agree that most serious FIGHTS are over in a matter of seconds once they actually begin. Probing for openings from sparring range is not the same thing at all.
I believe that the opponent who is comfortable with a variety of ranges will be much stronger in this situation. The long range guy is counting on defending at the length of the staff. His only real shot is the quick thrust. Then he has to "re-load" for the next shot. I would say that more than 60% of the time this range is easily passable with an equal length weapon. We have tried this with bo vs. sai, escrima, knife, and club and it's VERY enlightening once the shorter weapons get inside that thrust. And other strikes such as overhead and side strikes are also just invitations to close in from that range. This is why combinations are important and they are much faster when using more than one part of the staff.
In the scenario where two opponents face off with equal weapons(full staff in this case) the one with the most training SHOULD have the advantage if all else is equal. One strategy is to remain at a specific length and control the fight from there. To negate that, the other guy may close distance. Once inside, the skill level is even again. It's simply a matter of creating and maintaining pressure.
We have found that from a long range (against a bo), as soon as your opponent begins to strike, you are usually better off closing this distance and crowding him into an awkward situation. This means that you will need to be competent in a variety of ranges for your weapon. The longer the weapon, the more ranges it can be used in. We train a number of throwing techniques with a 6 foot bo as well as the long thrust, shorter "punches" and constantly using the entire weapon. There are several ranges with this weapon. the ability to attack and defend effectively while moving through them is critical.
Remember if you are close enough to hit someone, they are in range to trap your weapon. If someone releases their weapon to grab their opponents' it is basically a disarm as long as the opponent can control the distance. If not, you are fighting over a single weapon and you BETTER have some training at close range or you will give up the weapon completely. This often happens when we train and it quickly becomes a fist fight. At that range, a bo is very difficult to use if you don't control the distance quickly.
This is a very difficult way to discuss these points.
The more I learn, the more everything is the same.

"This is a very difficult way to discuss these points."
I agree, and this kind of situations also do have so many variables, also from our different experiences. And even if i like to discuss theoretically, most of this talk can only be proved/tested practically to be worth anything, so it is normal and probably expected that we don't get to a consensus here.
but i don't see anything wrong in keep talking in a healthy manner, so,
We probably use different kind of staffs too.
i never used a "bo", but from what i have seen it is longer than the human height, in that situation i agree it is difficult to use in longer distances(we use a staff a bit smaller than a person). It also uses to have its weight on the center and the extremities are lighter right? Im used to staff with one extremity thicker than the other to favor those long range and powerfull attacks.
yes, i said that few seconds are when someone actually makes a move, the probing can be very important, mostly in competition, but that is so variable from people to people that it's hard to time.
yes, i believe that is better to be comfortable in different ranges. But on the other hand, against shorter weapons, lets say a sword, when the staff fighter is at one move/step hit distance, the sword fighter need to give 2 or 3 more steps yet, so even if the staff attack is slower(a full rotational one and not just a tap) he would still get him most of the time, and also, a sword cant easily block a powerfull staff attack, that is already hard to block even with other staff with the hands at shoulder distance for stability, most strong attacks would break or at least really disorientate a sword block(unless the staff is really light). and against sword weapons, when they break that distance they have the advantage of the blade, that means that just a lither tap(that can be really fast) puts you out of combat, and a weaker staff hit, even with a quarter rotation or more it's too weak to take someone down, so, allowing a bladed weapon to enter his one move/hit range is a suicidal situation, but it inst hard to avoid with a trust attack(if practiced correctly) of course this doesn't work with padded equipment, because the shorter ranged fighter could easily enter his comfortable distance no matter if he gets hit first, but that wouldn't happen with real weapons and full speed strikes.
yes, with equal weapons the best trained wins, but people with the same training(i know it's hard to judge), the most efficient technique wins, and is a good thing that today we can try all those situations with sparing equipment, if we keep a mind on what works and not just count every kind of hit, or on the other hand don't count the important one.
As i see it one could only break the longer distance(avoiding a thrust) if he is really superior to the other fighter, meaning, he would be able to block while moving forward, and a disarmament of other kind of attacks from here are natural to happen from the one that has that superior skill. But of course that breaking that distance can also be a strategy, i just find it a harder one.
well, sorry for the off topic DeadlyKnuckles, what do people think of e-bogu staffs (e-bogu.com)?

We’ll soon start to see a hybrid energy-storage solution of batteries and ultracapacitors to address multiple applications simultaneously, like e-turbo, active suspension, regeneration, power steering, electric brake boosters and more.
Ultracapacitors on the Road
Jens Keiser | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
What automotive market trends are driving the adoption of ultracapacitor technology?
As a result of changing emission standards, we’re seeing an increase in electrification of mechanical subsystems. There’s also a lot of innovation in the industry, like autonomous driving, that’s pushing the adoption of ultracapacitor technology.
How many cars are already on the road with ultracapacitors and what is the feedback from OEMs so far?
There are more than 1.5 million cars on the road today that use Maxwell Technologies ultracapacitors. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have reported that they are solid, extremely durable and move things along smoothly. Unlike other news surrounding the automotive industry today, there haven’t been any problems or recalls, which is a testament to Maxwell’s dedication to providing only the highest quality ultracaps to its customers.
What are the differentiators between the different energy storage technologies (lead-acid, lithium-ion and ultracapacitors) and can they be used in tandem?
Lithium-ion is high in energy density and typically used in 48V and high-voltage architectures like battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in and hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs and HEVs). In comparison, lead-acid energy storage, which has been around forever, is much cheaper and primarily a solution for smaller, 12V architectures. Lead acid is typically very heavy and has limited power capabilities compared to other options. Ultracapacitors are a bit of their own breed. They’re the best solution for power applications, with a long life and the ability to work in a wide range of temperatures. They are limited in energy density, but several Tier 1s and OEMs are currently researching how they can work with lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries to address the future of automotive architectures.
What specific application does an ultracapacitor best suit in the operation of an electric vehicle?
At the moment, ultracapacitors don’t have any application in electric vehicles because EVs need something with higher energy density. A combination of ultracapacitors and lithium-ion batteries could potentially extend battery life; however, we are not aware of any current projects in BEVs.
Aside from start-stop, what other future applications can use ultracapacitors in vehicle electrification?
Ultracapacitors are primarily used in active suspension systems, electric turbo chargers and boosting/acceleration systems. However, we’ll also start to see a hybrid energy-storage solution of batteries and ultracapacitors to address multiple applications simultaneously, like e-turbo, active suspension, regeneration, power steering, electric brake boosters and more.
What do you see as the main factor causing automakers to use ultracapacitor-based technology for start-stop and other applications?
The biggest factor is the increase in electrification within 12V and 48V architectures to address new features. We heard from a lot of OEMs who said the existing 12V boardnet was at its limit and needed something more powerful to drive new applications like start-stop.
Are there other applications in the transportation industry?
Ultracapacitors can be, and should be, used across the transportation industry, not just personal automobiles. Hybrid-diesel buses, truck fleets and rail companies have already installed ultracaps or are currently evaluating them. While there is some overlap, they’re all using them for a number of different reasons. Rail companies, like CAF Power & Automation, are using ultracapacitors for onboard and wayside energy, while trucks find them to be most helpful for engine starting in extreme temperatures. Hybrid-diesel buses are also using them for regenerative energy. Ultracapacitors have a number of different uses, and we’re constantly learning of new applications within each separate industry.

Listening Before Acting
There is a lot going on in the world today. I see a lot of activity and action, busy busy busy, move move move. But I wonder…with all of this action, are we listening before acting or is it just rushed reaction without knowledge? In times of stress, discord, and opposition, we should be listening to our internal compass, our human nature. This is a classic nature vs nurture battle and unfortunately, nurture is winning (what we have been taught, fed, or surrounded by). Now more than ever, we could and should be listening with intent which will open our eyes.
• We should be listening with our heart. So we make good moral and ethical decisions, and are seeking to understand all points of view before we rush into action.
• We should be listening with our head. So we make thoughtful and constructive decisions that will lead to impactful actions that make a difference, while staying safe and healthy.
Just acting (or reacting) without understanding and knowledge is not really action at all. Uneducated, rushed actions (or reactions) certainly don’t yield results, impact or change. Listening is the true weapon required right now to out think, out smart, and out navigate the problem in front of us… racism, injustice, and inequality. But this is also true for and applies to any challenge in our path, whether it be covid-19, unemployment, or education.
Today’s world is a rapid and fluid situation. Things are constantly changing and quickly. If we are acting or reacting without assessing the situation, we will just be caught up in the riptide, being whipped around in whichever direction the tide wants to take us. However, our ability to process and respond decisively and effectively is driven by our ability to assess the situation. Assessing means first understanding the situation from multiple angles or viewpoints. We cannot solve what we do not know or understand. Otherwise, we are just guessing. The most successful way to assess and respond is—quite simply—to listen.
How can we all listen to each other better?
1. Hearing is NOT listening. If we are truly listening, we are paying attention, we are focused, and we are processing the information.
2. Ask great questions (not just good ones). Based on what we are listening to, we should probe, get deeper, and get more details to truly understand the problem or situation.
3. Understand the context behind what others are saying. Are they speaking from pain, past experience, thinking ahead, or something else? This helps us align our thinking and ability to process the information.
4. Discuss and debate. Expressing our thoughts and perspectives will lead to healthy discussion and debate. No answer, no solution, no result can come without objective challenges and conversations to evolve our thinking.
5. Review, reflect, repeat. After each conversation, we should reflect, synthesize and incorporate what we have learned from listening to others’ input. This will hone our thinking, giving it a sharp edge and making it a powerful weapon.
In summary, the quote “slow waters run deep” is very relevant. Power comes from having the depth obtained through listening. And this is how change will truly happen.

John told Nick the perfect seating arrangement for the theater would be eight chairs in two rows of four, but Nick had other ideas. "We're a family of four, so I figured if another family comes over, we'd already fill eight chairs," Nick says. "I went with 10 to be on the safe side. I don't know if I'll ever have 10 screaming maniacs watching a football game down here, but I like having that option."
But John had reservations. "Some of the chairs are against the back wall, which acoustically isn't the best thing to do. But you can't be too theoretical with this stuff; you have to be flexible."
The Excalibur theater recliners ($2,200 in a group of four, $1,800 in a group of three) have tactical transducers, or bass shakers, which run off two Klipsch sub amps (housed in the room behind the theater), which in turn are connected to the Denon receiver's subwoofer output. This transfers the low bass to the chairs, making them vibrate. The rumble of a tidal wave or earthquake in a movie like The Day After Tomorrow puts viewers right in the action.
While the room's gray-and-black colors might strike some as somber, John chose them to minimize light reflections from the screen and the projector. Unobtrusively adorning the walls are eight white sconces with fan-style shades that provide low lighting before and after a movie. And the Lutron infrared lighting-control system lets the Trainas use either a wall plate or the remote control to set the lights at any level.

Why It's Important to Reward Yourself after Weight Loss
Fitday Editor
article image
Losing weight is a task that needs a lot of perseverance, and one way to ensure that you will not give up hope is to reward yourself. Rewards will make your endeavor to lose weight more interesting, and they will help you gain the mental strength you need to reach your ultimate goal.

Mental Struggle in Weight Loss
When you are trying to lose weight, you have to undergo a change of lifestyle, and you need great mental strength to overcome temptations, stress and fear of failure. If you do not see satisfactory results after a certain period of time, you may feel discouraged, and you may begin to wonder if all the sacrifices that you have made are worthwhile. When you start to lose hope, you may compromise your weight loss plans by eating your favorite foods or skipping exercise sessions, and this will eventually lead to failure. Although weight loss is a physical consequence, the attempt to lose weight is mostly a mental challenge. If you are able to find ways to keep yourself focused and motivated throughout your weight loss endeavor, you can overcome any obstacle that you may face.
Rewards Give You Motivation
Motivation is the key to successful weight loss, because it will help you achieve the self-discipline you need to overcome discouragement and temptations. To keep yourself motivated, you have to set goals for yourself and keep your mind focused on the benefits of reaching those goals. The best way to maintain a high level of motivation is to reward yourself when you have successfully achieved a short-term goal. You can reward yourself by buying a new dress, watching a concert or going on a weekend vacation, but you should make sure that the reward does not make you compromise your weight loss plans. By setting up a weight loss reward system, you will always have something to work towards, and you will not feel that your weight loss efforts are aimless. Rewards give you a sense of achievement that can drive you to work harder towards your goal.
Rewards Add Fun to Weight Loss
When you are starting out on your weight loss program, you may feel very inspired to undertake the challenges of dieting and exercising. However, you will soon find out that trying to lose weight can sometimes feel restrictive and boring. You may not be allowed to consume your favorite foods, and you have to exercises on a regular basis. If you introduce a reward system into your weight loss program, you can definitely make your life more interesting. By giving yourself non-food rewards, you will find that there are many things that bring greater excitement and fulfillment than food. You can develop a reading habit, participate in a new sport or outdoor activity, go traveling or join a local club. Eventually, you will have so much fun exploring new possibilities that you will find that the sacrifices you make to lose weight are a blessing in disguise.

China Gives Rip-Off Anime Top Culture Prize
Anime fans are aghast at the news that the Guangxi government has given its highest award for cultural excellence to a Chinese moral indoctrination anime widely derided as a complete rip-off of 5cm Per Second.
The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region recently recognised “Soul’s Window” with its highest art and literature prize.
In 2009, this animation was accused of copying wholesale scenes, characters and story from 5cm Per Second.
Online in China, a variety of articles critical of the decision have appeared, although some seem more concerned with Chinese animation mimicking foreign anime than the plagiarism issue itself.
The producers claim to have removed the plagiarised portions, making it all alright: “There is no issue – this award is being given to the revised version with the plagiarised portions removed.”
The awards body promises “further investigation” and “strict action” if it decides the allegations are true and worth acting on.

• What a fuck up Westerner is and wat a fuckup Westerner mentality are. Hate them….oh please I can do the same.
Stupid little kids. Seriously get some god damned education and learn what hypocrisy is. Oh wait we’re Westerners we love being hypocritical retards don’t we.
Let’s look at Western mentality then shall we?
*Loves being the World Police
*Start wars for resources and say we looking for WMD’s.
*Bitch about China’s piracy while downloading fansub anime, scanlated manga, mp3’s, games, torrents and software illegally.
*Being ignorant is fine as long as it’s sounds morally good.
*Complain about human rights of other countries yet not giving a damn about our own human rights problem.
*Liberating countries that don’t need liberating and making things far worse than neccessary.
*Cry about other other countries developing military technology and nuclear power while we carry on advancing the same things as priorities.
I don’t like China’s way of doing things, but I’m not stupid enough to ignore our own hypocrisy.
• I wanted to know, for all the people who are blaming china, who are they hating?
The Chinese people
The Chinese communist government
The pirates who plagruzed and the awarders
Which is it? Because I am Chinese and I absolutely hate this being plagiarized too(and bunch of others things about the government)?
So which is it?
• i remember a time when chinese had badass culture… oh wait no nvm that was before chinese became chinese… fucking communist government.
all the smart people left for the west… or east depending on which part of the globe ur pointing at. and then when ever the government realizes something’s being watched by a lot of people, they will ninja that idea and try to copy it.
AT LEAST the copied version doesn’t make you want to puke bucket loads anymore, that’s the good part, bad part? It probably has such a bad plot that you want to commit suicide after watching it anyways.
Anime is a form of story telling, and stories should be atleast original to some extent, in the event where you want to make an allusion, please dont credit yourself, and make it a good allusion like what Blizzard and Gainax does (actually neither credits their sources, but who cares they make good story lines)
• this is stupid its like one film company is claiming someone is copying another because they have the same shot. how many different ways are there possible to film a scene….they are bound to be redone
• What the hell is wrong with you people? Why are you so ignorant of everything? You generalize everybody that this site reports. You don’t even take the time to use your brain and think. What if this website said something about Japan doing something similiar? Would you say the same thing? FUCK ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES!
I like Japan and all but you people are just such asses.
• It’s sad that modern China has created an environment that encourages these kind of behavior. If you hang out on pixiv much you’d see tons of artistically talented Chinese creators, some of them even do great homebrew animations.
Chinese culture used to be innovative, now it’s all about taking shortcuts and imitating others, and sidlining all the actually talented Chinese.
• How much did it cost to make this “Soul’s Windows”? Copying aka Plagiarising other’s works is often to do keep costs low in order to make money – so the cultural relevance isn’t there at all and awarding it makes it sounds so stupid. If the makers said it costs them a lot of money to make this “anime” then the Chinese Government is ripped off pretty much. What’s more stupid: getting ripped off and not knowing it’s not an original work at all, or knowing it’s not original, it’s pirated AND awarded for it’s cultural “excellence”?
• hater gonna hate that also the fact here….
There also some good thing in China as well but you wouldn’t expect something like “GOOD side of China” on Sankaku right?
It would be impossible for many idiot here to realize what is the purpose of this site and mindlessly bash China.
It happen a lot on many other country website as well no ONE would show their enemy in good light right?
• I actually have seen 5cm per second as well as the Chinese ripoff. The art is plagiarized but the plot is completely different. The Chinese version teaches viewers to honor the family, and remain faithful to peers.
Granted, the artwork is copied, the animation is like 5 frames per second and the plot is propaganda bullshit, but it could have been worse
• China has a lotsa people in that country , yet they can’t make something original, i know why , they were feed with garbage literally, look at their product food. thats why chinese is idiot and can’t speak english clearly , talk like dipshit
• that was more than 4 yrs ago.
Actually, Chinese government has always been a joke, for the past 60 yrs… Who cares about the prizes it gave?
Recently there have been a exhibition-tour of Shinkai-san’s animation art in multiple cities in China. I went to one. Shinkai’s animation films are very popular in China.
• lmao they just completely jacked it and now trolling damn I fear if the world just becomes a world of knockoff and copies because china too lazy to do stuff themselves, why if your so proud of your culture would you not want to make your own masterpieces rather than copy others
• It’s already like that. you don’t watch the news there some German minister used someone else’s thesis for his own doctorate promotion. Nick Simmons, remember him, he’s the one who plagiarise Bleach etc.., simmonising is a popular word in the internet now because of this. There are many other non-Chinese example about pirating, plagiarising etc.. Just find them yourself via Google.
• Globo(literaly globe),the most popular tv channel in Brazil rips off popular movies scenes in its soap operas(their most prized content) since Carrie(1976).
It’s really sad how brazilian movies and games can’t get its market share because this channel monopolizes the brazilians minds(wich have really poor education, so they don’t care).
• Question: When a Japanese artist/anime production company comes out with something, such as 5CM per Second, does the anime get some kind of copyright protection which penalizes the potential plagurist/protects the original maker of the anime? It seems from what is shown here that there was blatent plagurism here, are there any protections in place to deter things like this from happening usually?
• America: thousands are jailed for viewing an illegally downloaded movie.
Meanwhile in China: Plagiarism and pirating is awarded the highest honor.
When is China taking over the world again?
They just admit that they plagiarized. damn.
• USA, they live with bimbos off the curves, shooting everywhere, so many fat chicks, weird pedos, oh and don’t forget the frequent gang violence.
Point of that was?
Every country has their bad points, none of them really outweigh eachother too much. Just don’t only look at a tiny section of it that you were exposed to.
• I think those people who do this must have thought that they are not killing people so it’s okay; that kind of mentality is in a lot of people in China, and also outside China of course; see what happened and has caused the economic break-down in Europe and USA for example. To think of that the Chinese already did some great animated films in 1961 (“Havoc in Heaven”), this award for this Chinese “5 cm per Second” clone is pretty much a giant facepalming embarrassment.
The mentioned “Havoc in Heaven” video:
• I heard the song start up and I was like “ahh, i remember this…” then i saw the china-edits to that very song and was like…
“Pfff haaaa…”
yeah… I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing on the inside, a song like that set the mood perfectly for the ending of the original movie and seeing it set to horrible china-level quality edits and imitated shot by shot just looked comical at best.
My god man, when will they learn… I almost feel sorry for them but at the same time I really dont… O_@
• “Plagiarism is an important part of modern Chinese culture, so it’s only natural that this anime should receive the culture prize….”
It’s neither a modern nor a culture thing. Some (a lot) of people just don’t buy into this whole idea of “copyright” and “intellectual property”
It’s not modern because copyright and IP and the whole concept of plagiarism as we know it today is a relatively modern thing (first copyright law was 1709, 300 years ago compared to thousands of years of human history). China just didn’t jump on board as other nations embraced the concept
Besides, copyright and IP wouldn’t have helped China much/at all for these last few hundred years (and even now), where they have bigger problems to deal with like their people being mostly uneducated and poor
Alas, China-bashing is an important part of Sankaku culture, so it’s only natural that this post would receive flames and voted down
• “It’s not MODERN because copyright and IP and the whole concept of plagiarism as we know it today is a relatively MODERN thing.”
Okay so you say that it’s not modern yet it is?
“China just didn’t jump on board as other nations embraced the concept.”
So here you say China doesn’t give a crap about copyright. Great, that’s basically what everyone is saying.
• “Okay so you say that it’s not modern yet it is? ”
Allow me to clarify: I’m saying the ACT of plagiarism is not modern, but the concept that plagiarism being wrong is.
China didn’t just suddenly started plagiarizing within the last 50 years. They, along with the rest of the world, have been plagiarizing since the discovery of fire (we aren’t paying royalties to that caveman’s descendants now are we?)
It’s Western culture that came up with the idea that plagiarism being wrong.
I was addressing the comment that plagiarism is “modern” China “culture” thing. I never claimed they didn’t. I’m just saying plagiarism – the act of copying stuff without permission/acknowledgment – is neither modern nor culture.
Oh and Anon@13:40: if someone copied my work, I’d be quite fine with it as imitation (in this case straight copying) is a form of flattery. In case you didn’t know, Osamu Tezuka started off with trying to mimic Disney, while Disney’s Lion King had a nice little controversy of being similar to Kimba the White Lion.
Thinking copying is such an evil thing is actually a modern WESTERN cultural thing (I’m sure nobody here EVER downloaded a single mp3, don’t use cracked software, don’t watch anime unless it’s properly imported, embrace any and all DRM presented by game companies, etc)
• It’s hard to say anything about China as a whole, considering how many Chinese there are and how little representation the “average” Chinese citizen gets in the world’s theater. What we DO get to see are the leaders (and some of the overambitious merchants) show a willingness to take shortcuts to get what the rest of the world has.
Considering that they plagiarized entire CITIES, it’s easy to think that everybody in China was okay with this sort of thing, but while there were many, MANY people involved in building these places, how many of the people who built them will never get closer to an Austrian village, a Bristol neighborhood, or anywhere else in the world than these facsimiles?
IMNSHO, I think that China copies so it can bring the world to its people, rather than letting them leave and see it for themselves. If they truly didn’t care about copyright, if they truly didn’t understand what the fuss was all about, they’d be trying to push rip-offs to other countries, but generally, in my admittedly limited experience, it always seems to be something sold on the Chinese markets, to the Chinese (and tourists, but hey, who can keep them out?).
I’ve also heard recently that in the Chinese middle class there’s a growing demand for authentic imported luxury items, such as (wait for it) Budweiser beer. It seems the average Chinese person DOES place some value on authenticity after all. As for flavor, now…
• 1) He didn’t say their leaders represent them rather their leaders set examples where people follow. Ie. If everybody accepts bribes wouldn’t you offer or accept bribes so you can jump the line? Now change bribes to imitations, it’s a whole lot cheaper and people will accept cheaper items; it’s acceptance of the practice even if it’s not approval.
There are Chinese critics and other disagree-ers as mentioned in the article who are not approving or not accepting the practice. So how many would disagree to the practice and how many don’t care and just accept it? If the small minority can’t act or are unable to remove the stain that the majority don’t care/accept then the honest minority becomes the exception to the rule.
• Wow, you read a lot into that that wasn’t actually said.
1.) “Countries are lead by their leaders”, therefore the Chinese people approve of their leaders’ actions? Last I heard, China was still technically a Communist regime, with only one party. The Chinese really have no say in who their leaders are, so it’s not really fair to say their leaders are representative of them.
2.) “Greater good”? I essentially said the Chinese government copies the world and brings it back home because the leaders want to keep them from going abroad on their own. So, you’re saying I’m praising them for keeping their populace under lock and key?
3.) “China is changing for the better”: Compared to the China that Nixon reached out to, it is better…but let’s be honest, that’s not saying much. Do I think China’s improving? Yes, but I also believe the current route is not the best route for improvement, nor do I believe that improvement is sustainable, not economically nor culturally.
Being clear-minded means understanding what people are trying to say to you, not deciding they’re disagreeing with you and then building a bunch of straw-man arguments to debate against. All I’m saying is simply that “OMG, teh Chinese are all copyright pirates!!!1!!1!1!1” is too simple a viewpoint, and will not help any of us deal with the issue…although I’ll admit it’s unlikely any of us will do more to “deal with the issue” than post in internet forums. ¬_¬
• Countries are led by its leaders. China is no exception. If your leader is willing to follow a short cut, how many ordinary citizen would go the other way?
You may say that China is trying to bring the world to its people, but that is not something that’s simultaneously decided by the mass of people themselves. What WAS simultaneously agreed by the mass of people is that it’s OK to copy things and sell them. Clear-minded ones like yourself might want to think that it’s for a greater good, but most people are truly and honestly in it for the profit. That profit, however, is gained on wronging others, and with your government’s approval, people wouldn’t even think that they’re doing something wrong.
So in the end, what I’m trying to say is, you should stop pretending that China is changing for the better, because with what’s leading it, it’s not.
• This is the stupidest thing I have ever read. How would you feel if someone copied what you wrote? Wouldn’t you feel hurt that someone else might now be looked at as stupid as you are?
• what they (these Asian wannabe’s) forgot is that the Japanese culture has already been deeply influenced by the Chinese many many years ago. To say China is copying Japan is like saying your son is copying you. For example, in Naruto, they use a thing called Chakra, but guess what, that’s the Chinese way of thinking of Chi. so who’s copying who now? there are way more examples of Japanese copying Chinese concepts. How many anime do you see featuring the concepts of Kung Fu, and Yin and Yang? If you westerners are embracing the Japanese concepts, in a way, you are embracing the Chinese, cause they are the grand daddy of it all.
• I assume they invented cars, internet, and diet coke, too?
Primitive stuffs like that come from China because your country is old and those things can be made with simple tools.
However, you can’t compare that to plagiarism nowadays, where China is notorious for copying works that costed massive skills and intellect from the people who poured their efforts into creating them, and then produce mass copies of inferior quality for profit. That, is stealing. The economy doesn’t work that way. The world doesn’t go that way. China is committing crimes against every nations and people who earned their livings by their own hard works.
And that, is wrong
• Are you an idiot?
You completely contradicted yousrself right off. As long as something’s “primitive” it’s ok to plagerize? Your bias is as obvious as China’s plagerism and piracy.
But the one thing that really showed how much you know of the real world, is the fact you said “The economoy doesn’t work that way”. It’s been working that way since trade had become available to anyone in history.
Japan has been doing the exact same not that many years ago, and it sure hell isn’t primitive work either. It’s seems majority of people here just love sticking their heads in the ground when it comes to Japan doing or have done bad things (if the article on that Amusement Park wasn’t evidence enough). Not that I’d expect less from some idiots that plague this site. Some of you Wapanese actually believe that the Japanese would get to where they are now without ever resorting to plagerism? For that matter, you same guys believe most countries got to where they are without having to resort to cheap imitations or exact copies during some time?
Look I know that China does have plagerism and piracy. But if anyone here is that stupid enough to believe that world runs on nothing but innovation and creativity needs a fist to the face to wake them up from dreamland. Kids these days…I do worry how ignorant and naive the generations are becoming now. Before I forget. Let me leave some of you hypocrites a question: How did you get your hands on some mp3’s, games, movies, anime, manga and software?
• If you can’t tell the difference between adopting customs of trading partners/war enemies/colonialists/colonies and copying something wholesale and claiming it as your own, I can’t help you. This is more like if The Tale of Genji turned out to be a translation of old Chinese scrolls.
Also, paper depends on your definition – wood pulp paper is from China around 200 BC. Papyrus is from Egypt around 3000 BC and is where the term “paper” originated.
• So what did China invented these recent years? Because appart from the exploding stuff, I don’t see much…
I wonder if one day they start using the fork, will they dare to say they invented it too? In case you didn’t know, China already claimed that they invented Soccer.
• A very large portion of goods we consume in America are produced in China….
As for Low quality Chinese products “exploding” or of being extremely terrible in quality, basically goods they produce for internal consumption are generally of far lower quality than goods produced for exporting. This is because the cost of living in Asian countries are significantly lower than western countries (ie: i could live pretty comfortably on 1-1.5k USD monthly salary in Taiwan, but in the US, i definitely would not)
This is true for alot of other Asian countries as well.
• Except that Japan invented 99% of the terms for words of modern and Western origin, and China stole those words. Even the words in the official name of China are stolen directly from Japanese coined terms.
• Every country will defend itself when provoked. Japan did not have the military strength to take over China back then, and certainly does not have the power to do so today. The fact China left Japan off the hook and didn’t bother chasing them all the way back was an act of mercy.
• Had they “finished the job” US would be Japanese territory, Europe and Africa would belong to Germans.
Ultimately, it’s impossible. Japan don’t have the people or resources. The attrition in China was killing off the Japanese population far faster that they can reproduce. Resources used in pre-war buildup weren’t being replenished, especially oil, post embargo. It was doomed from the start.
• Speaking of history…
Kanji weren’t “adopted” by Japan. As direct descendants of original Chinese colonists, they simply kept using the language themselves. It wasn’t random Chinese fisherman landing in Japan and spreading their culture to natives, but rather a single well organized colonization effort ordered by Chinese emperor after unification of China 3000 years ago. There were Japanese natives, but their culture were suppressed by the newcomers, who makes up Japanese population today.
The colonization fleet were led by people who amounts to today’s equivalent of political refugees, trying to get away from the first emperor, widely regarded as a tyrant. After his empire fell apart after just one generation to revolt, no one in the mainland bothered looking for the colony to the east. Colonists were happy to be cut lose anyway.
After 3000 years, Chinese culture in the mainland has been diluted and changed through trade, while Japan was isolated from rest of the world until the 1800s. There’s a reason traditional Japanese icons from kimono to paper umbrellas are basically identical to ancient Chinese versions.
Japanese are entitled to things like chopsticks, because they are the original decedents of China, purer in both blood and culture than mainland Chinese. Most han Chinese, especially northerners, carry significant portions of Mongolian and Caucasian blood.
The bad blood runs deep. Journals of some Japanese military officials revealed that invasion of China before and during WW2 has to do with this 3000 years old feud. At times, it was even used to justify war crimes, which were significantly worse than that committed by Japanese elsewhere in Asia. Whether they actually believe it or just used it as justification of landgrab for the resource hungry military state is another matter.
• please, do some research before you start talking random stuff, Latin is what paved the road for modern western language, and also, China did not steal from Japanese language, to the contrary, Kanji, as it is known now, was brought over to Japan by Chinese fishermen landing there… they adopted those characters because to them, it made sense
get ur facts straight first
• Butt-hurted Chinese is butt-hurted.
You know, the next thing China should “replicate” is the White Mansion itself and there you have it!
• You aren’t making yourself look any better you little ignorant kid. Seriosly “THIS” and almost everything similar is why many call us simple people who just like anime or Japan, weeaboo’s. Because we start shit like this.
• Strictly speaking it wasn’t plagiarism, it was cultural exchange from a bunch of dudes that decided to live in that bigass island (current Japan) rather than the continent (current China). Feel free to remain an idiot and not use your brain, though.
• That’s kinda true; also the commercial about that Chinese high-speed trains where “anime” characters were eating onigiri (Japanese riseballs) which are absolutely not Chinese food at all. The Creators didn’t even bother to change the onigiri into some real chinese food. Damn, I guess some zombies were and are still working in China. Sometimes I think that Obama should really say that China as a nation should stop copying stuff, right in the face of that Chinese President in a meeting.

Israel's Russian muscle
No longer second-class citizens, the recent immigrants are emerging as vital swing voters.
By David Tuller
Published May 7, 1999 1:00PM (EDT)
Imagine, for a moment, that since 1989 the United States has granted citizenship to 50 million immigrants. Imagine that these new citizens are highly educated and highly opinionated, but speak little English and have little or no experience living in a democratic society. Imagine that they have now discovered the power of the vote and have transformed their yearnings and grievances into political muscle, and you will have some notion of the complex and contentious relationship between refugees from the former Soviet Union and their new homeland, Israel.
Since the end of the 1980s, about 800,000 immigrants have arrived from Russia and the other countries of the former Soviet Union. Including those who emigrated to Israel in the pre-Gorbachev era, the Russian-speaking immigrants now number around one million and account for 17 percent of the electorate. Their arrival has injected a highly volatile element into a country already struggling with gaping social, cultural and political divides between secular and religious Jews, and between Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European origins and Sephardic Jews with roots in North Africa and the Middle East. Perhaps the most prominent political schism is between those who favor territorial compromise with the Palestinians and those who oppose it.
Against this backdrop, the new immigrant block has emerged as a critical group of swing voters in Israels political landscape. As Israel prepares for national elections on May 17 -- elections that will determine the future course of negotiations with the Palestinians -- it is clear that the new immigrants will play a key role in determining the outcome. Both major parties - the right of center Likud Party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Labor Party led by Ehud Barak - are belatedly recognizing the power of the new immigrant vote.
Whatever the outcome of the current elections, political instability in Russia and the other former Soviet republics assures that the inflow of new immigrants will not end anytime soon. And Natan Sharansky, for one, warns that it would be a mistake for anyone to take the Russians for granted.
"The bulk of [Israeli] voters have been here for years or generations, so a relatively small percentage change their position," says Natan Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident who shocked Israeli pundits in 1996 when his newly formed Israel B'aliyah party won seven seats in the 120-member Israeli parliament. "But the Russians are newcomers, and their vote is not yet firmly ideological. It is a floating vote, not linked too closely with any party, which makes them very attractive for all the parties."
The surprising success of Sharansky's party in 1996 -- when Israelis for the first time cast separate votes for prime
minister and for political parties in the parliament -- gave Russian immigrants their first taste of voting power. Now, they realize they are key players in Israeli electoral politics. "There are so many of us here now that the politicians all realize that they can't win an election without us, they can't form a government without our support," said Shurik Lifshitz, a middle-aged photographer who emigrated from the former Soviet Union in 1991.
If pre-election polls are
accurate, a majority of the Russians will again cast their vote for
Netanyahu for prime minister. Netanyahu's slogan -- "A strong leader for a strong nation" -- has powerful appeal to former citizens of a totalitarian superpower, and many immigrants explain their support for him with one word: byezopacnost (security). Having witnessed firsthand the traumatic collapse of their previous homeland, the Russians say that ensuring Israel's future is their tantamount concern. Raised on empty Soviet slogans extolling "the brotherhood of nations," they are highly distrustful of Israel's neighbors and believe a Likud government is far more likely to resist Palestinian demands.
"We must think about our interests, but Labor thinks more about the Arabs' interests," says Alexander Pesen, who arrived from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan in 1990 and now owns a Russian bookstore in Ashkelon that sells translations of Danielle Steel alongside Pushkin and Tolstoy. "Let the Arabs think about their own interests. I don't think we should make concessions just because things are bad for them, because concessions won't give us a balanced peace."
In the 1996 elections, almost two-thirds of the new immigrants supported Netanyahu, who defeated Labor's Shimon Peres by 30,000 votes, less than 1 percentage point. Sharansky's Israel
B'aliyah party, which garnered about half the Russian vote, became a vital part of Netanyahu's ruling coalition.
The Russians' rightward slant has confounded many Israelis on the left who welcomed the immigrants' arrival. For decades, left-leaning, secular Ashkenazi Jews dominated the Israeli political, academic and media establishments. In recent years, Likud and other parties on the right have come into power by harnessing the support of two other key constituencies -- Sephardic Jews, who are the long-time have-nots of Israeli society, and the ultra-Orthodox.
So when the massive immigration of Soviet Jews began in 1989, members of the old elites assumed that the new arrivals would boost their sagging fortunes. "The Russian political pattern is surprising, given their mostly European, Ashkenazi background," says Hanoch Smith, a leading Israeli pollster. "It was assumed that they would be like the previous Jews who came out of that part of the world, so the left thought, 'Oh, boy, more supporters for us!' But decades of communism has had an enormous impact on their thinking."
Political analysts and Russian immigrants themselves point to a variety of psychological and sociological factors that nudge the Russians toward the right. Many former Soviet citizens, aware of the Israeli left's embrace of socialist political and economic concepts in decades past, react with visceral distaste to the very language used by Labor and its allies. Critics of the left, notes Alexander Yakobson, a lecturer in history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, exploit that revulsion by routinely referring to Labor's leaders as "socialists" rather than "social democrats."
"Soviet communism is really a perversion of one important tradition of the Western left, so it discredited all of the terms the Israeli left uses, like 'peace,' 'progress,' and even 'left,'" says Yakobson, whose family emigrated to Israel from Russia in 1973. "The left here is still paying a price for that."
The vibrant and increasingly assertive Russian presence is one of the most striking features of modern day Israel. It is difficult to stroll down the streets of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem or a host of other cities and towns without hearing the rhythmic cadences of Russian speech. Dozens of national and local Russian newspapers compete on newsstands with the Hebrew-language press. More subtle indicators also attest to the change: Vodka consumption in Israel has risen by 50 percent this decade, and medical clinics advertise circumcision services for adult Russians, the vast majority of whom did not observe Jewish rituals in the Soviet Union.
Today, it is possible for immigrants to live entirely within the Russian community and never have to learn Hebrew. On Aliat Hanoar Street, the center of a Russian neighborhood in the seaside city of Ashkelon, delicatessens post signs touting non-kosher staples of the old Soviet diet like svinina (pork) and kalbasa (sausage). A nearby bulletin board features Russian-language announcements for a travel club, gatherings for former citizens of Belarus, rock guitar lessons and a Russian magazine.
Some on the left believe Labor and its allies have done a poor job of reaching out to this new block of voters, and have boggled the job of explaining to Russians that territorial compromise could lead to greater national security for Israel.
Many Labor activists dismiss predictions of doom, noting that a majority of the Russians supported the party in 1992, when it ousted the Likud from power. But political analysts attribute that early success not to any great love for Labor but to pervasive discontent over the Likud government's clumsy handling of the huge wave of immigration that began in 1989. At that time, the newcomers found themselves living in substandard housing and working far below their educational level. Unemployment among the immigrants rose well into the double-digits, and stories abounded of Russian doctors collecting garbage, lawyers cleaning hotel rooms and engineers pumping gas.
Today, while some Russians, especially newer immigrants, are still struggling, many have risen rapidly through the ranks of Israeli society and take palpable pride in their achievements. More than three-quarters of Russian immigrant families own their own apartments. Russians now account for almost a third of the licensed doctors in Israel. The Gesher Theater, founded in 1991 by immigrants, has attained national and international renown.
"They had high status (in the former Soviet Union) as engineers, teachers, doctors, and here they found themselves at the bottom of the professional ladder, not knowing the language," says Leonid Belotzerkovsky, publisher of the Russian-language newspaper Novosti Nedeli (News of the Week), who himself emigrated from St. Petersburg in 1988. "They have moved up surprisingly quickly. I wouldn't imagine that immigrants from any other country would have attained that in less than ten years."
The rough transition into Israeli society has left some scars among Russian immigrants, and threatens to weaken Netanyahu's governing coalition. In a recent open letter to former Clinton advisor James Carville, who working as a campaign consultant for Barak, political columnist Ze'ev Chafets advised him to woo Russians away from Netanyahu by exploiting the tensions between Russians and other Likud coalition supporters
"The real damage ... will come when you drive a wedge through the Likud's two biggest ethnic blocs, the Moroccans (one of the largest Sephardi communities) and the Russians," he wrote in The Jerusalem Report, a widely read English-language biweekly. "The Moroccans resent the hell out of being climbed over by the immigrants, while the Russians are visibly contemptuous of what they see as the Moroccans' bongo-drum kultura and lousy SATs."
Many of the immigrants still grumble that their new country does not fully accept them. Overwhelmingly secular, they fear the power that the Orthodox wield in such vital areas as marriage, divorce and religious conversion. In recent weeks, both Barak and Sharansky have stepped up their criticism of Netanyahu's Orthodox supporters. Though they are the spouses and children of Jews, about one-third of the recent Russian arrivals are not considered Jews under Jewish law, which recognizes only those with Jewish mothers as Jews. Since Orthodox rabbis do not perform mixed marriages, and Israel does not permit civil marriage within its borders, non-Jewish Israeli citizens must go abroad to marry. The state does recognize civil marriages performed elsewhere. Conversion to Judaism is possible, but only under strict Orthodox guidelines.
Divorce can be even more complicated, since Israel does not recognize civil divorces obtained by Jewish couples elsewhere. Many divorced women arriving from the former Soviet Union have been dismayed to find out that they are still married under Israeli law. To receive Orthodox divorces, they must frequently locate and obtain permission from husbands who have not themselves emigrated and with whom they have not had contact for years.
There is also long-simmering tension between the Russians and the Sephardi. The Sephardi, who on average are poorer and more traditional than their Ashkenazi cousins, complain that the Russians have received special treatment in jobs and housing. Many Russians, in return, disparage them as uneducated riff-raff.
The tensions between the two groups gained widespread attention last fall, when an Israeli Moroccan killed a Russian immigrant soldier at a cafe in Ashkelon. Published reports alleged that the Moroccan berated the soldier and his friends for speaking Russian loudly. The murder took place a few days before municipal elections, and anger over the incident helped propel more than 100 representatives of Sharansky's party to victory in local city councils.
"The murder was a shock, a huge shock," says Galina Krochek, who emigrated in 1991 from Tashkent, the capital of the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan.
"We knew that there was hate between the groups, but that it went so far as that was astonishing," adds her husband Artur, who himself remembers being criticized by co-workers for speaking Russian instead of Hebrew. Still, all these issues seem to be second-tier political concerns for Russian immigrants as they prepare to go to the polls.
Artur and Galina, both in their mid-30s, are two of about a dozen cousins of mine who have moved to Israel from Tashkent. The result of my highly unscientific poll of my relatives conforms to the trend among the Russians. At a recent birthday celebration, over a table laden with vodka and Russian specialties such as marinated tomatoes and cabbage, I was informed more than once that "we are a family on the right."
Of nine adult relatives present, seven indicated that they will vote for Netanyahu. The other two may cast their lot with Yitzhak Mordechai, a former Likudnik who is the candidate of the new Center Party that is seeking to draw supporters from both the left and right. None favor Labor's Barak. In the political party vote, most will support either Sharansky's party or Our Home Israel, a rival Russian party established by longtime Netanyahu crony Avigdor Lieberman.
My relatives, like other Russians to whom I spoke, explain their position by citing Israel's security needs, and are also put off by what they perceive as similarities between the Labor party and communism. "We're too small a country to make mistakes," says Artur. "And Labor is a socialist party. We've seen how that worked in the Soviet Union."
Equality, brotherhood -- we grew up with slogans like that," adds
Galina. "None of them are true."
They acknowledge that they are concerned about the tight relationship between the Likud and the ultra-Orthodox parties. Galina is not Jewish, which means that their teenage son is also not considered Jewish. Unless he converts, he will not be allowed to get married in Israel, even though he must serve in the army like other citizens. But my cousins point out -- accurately -- that in the past Labor, like Likud, has included the Orthodox in its ruling coalitions. Anyway, they say, the security issue trumps all others.

Hi there, I would love to join your community here. I've spent a lot of time over the years dumping CDs through EAC with the guide that was used on what.cd. I've amassed quite a collection, and now I've got into preserving a lot of my disc games as some of my PS1 discs aren't looking too good. I've been able to rip a few with a cruddy USB Transcend DVD drive, but it won't accept all discs as DICUI fails immediately. I do have specialized tools to rip Xbox 360 Discs (0800 drives and an X360USB Pro), and I have a Blu-Ray drive that can read PS3 discs, and can read, but not decrypt the data from PS4 game discs. I feel like I could be a great help to the community. If possible, I would like to buy a Plextor drive, but I don't have access to a computer with IDE connection. Otherwise, I can rip some CDs, and most DVD/Blu-Ray games right now.
Thanks for your consideration.
Note about plextors - you can find DICUI-compatible USB plextor drives. They may be generally rarer or more expensive but you can occasional find one for cheap.

When to use DIV tags and when not to
A common question in #web on Freenode IRC, goes something like this:
“Should I use <div>‘s or tables for my layout?”
The answer is, neither.
What most people call “using <div>’s” is actually, CSS-P – CSS Positioning. This is the correct way to markup a page for styling using CSS, rather than putting all the display information into the page using tables. You should always use CSS-P for styling your website, this does not mean that you should never use tables, but that you should only use tables for tabular data.
You should also never use a <div> when another tag will do. Think about the following examples:
Using the following CSS, the following two HTML examples display the same:
So why – you ask – does it matter which I use? Well, just looking at the two examples, the second one obviously denotes the text a 1st level header. The top one doesn’t give any information about the text contained in it.
This doesn’t mean you should never use a <div> there are situations where you are styling something where you have no content (say, a drop-shadow on a paragraph which itself is marked up using <p> and has a different style).
I know I haven’t gone into much depth here, but thats the long and short of it as I see it. I hope that helps someone.
– Davey

Qu’est-ce qu’est la sécurité ?

Security for Buzan
La sécurité comme concept et comme objet d’études est relativement neuve. Pendant longtemps elle a été considérée comme synonyme de la défense. Toutefois, avec la fin de la Guerre Froide grâce à l’œuvre séminale de Barry Buzan, People, States and Fear, elle a commencé à être considérée comme étant différente de la défense et des affaires militaires.
Marianne Stone, assistante de recherche au GEEST introduit les grandes lignes de l’approche de Buzan.
What is security ?
Security as a concept and a topic of inquiry is relatively new. For longtime it has been considered as synonymous with defense. However, with the end of the Cold War, thanks to Barry Buzan’s seminal work People, States and Fear, it started to be seen as different from defense and military affairs.
Marianne Stone, research assistant at GEEST introduces the great lines of Buzan’s approach to security.
Security is taken to be about the pursuit of freedom from threat and the ability of states and societies to maintain their independent identity and their functional integrity against forces of change, which they see as hostile. The bottom line of security is survival, but it also reasonably includes a subtstantial range of concerns about the conditions of existence. Quite where this range of concerns ceases to merit the urgency of the “security” label (which identifies threats as significant enough to warrant emergency action and exceptional measures including the use of force) and becomes part of everyday uncertainties of life is one of the difficulties of the concept’ Barry Buzan,” New Patterns of Global Security in the Twenty-first Century” International Affairs, 67.3 (1991), pp. 432-433.
The question of security has long since preoccupied the minds of International Relationists. The traditional concept of security with the state as the main referent has been up for extensive debate. The realist view of security where it is seen as a “derivative of power” reduces the complex concept of security to a mere “synonym for power” . This view could be considered relevant during the period of the World Wars, where states seemed to be in a constant struggle for power. However, in the post-Cold War era, the concept of Security has become much more multifaceted and complex. In his book, People, States and Fear, Barry Buzan points out that the concept of security was “too narrowly founded” , his goal was to, therefore, offer a “broader framework of security” incorporating concepts that were not previously considered to be part of the security puzzle such as regional security, or the societal and environmental sectors of security. Buzan’s approach is more holistic ; and while he primes his analysis with neorealist beliefs such as anarchy, the depth of his analysis is constructivist in that he does not accept the given, but rather explores each element of what he considers to be the security package one by one in order to arrive at a more informed conclusion.
Buzan’s approach is an interesting one as he looks at security from all angles going from micro to macro, also addressing the social aspects of security and how people or societies construct or “securitize” threats. Traditionally belonging to the English School, which can be considered a more pluralistic take on International Relations, Buzan is somewhat of an independent thinker and a reformer.

Why brand IIT is better than IIM for startups in India
IIT vs IIMThe Meccas of technology and management education in India, the Indian institutes of Technology (IIT) and Indian institutes of Management (IIM), are the stuff dreams are made of. Cracking the admissions process in either of these is in itself a cause for celebration for the entire family, for a degree from these esteemed institutes conjures up images of a nice job with a lucrative pay package.
However, more often than not, an IIM graduate would be asked ‘where do you work?’, and an IIT graduate would face the question, ‘are you working with a start-up?’
One needs to accept that there is a perception of IITians going after the unchartered territories and making it big with an idea, while the MBA graduates slog it out in the big, bad (or wonderful) world of management for big bucks and a better designation. It is rarely the other way round. Why are IITs considered as the breeding ground for start-ups, and not IIMs.
Well, there are lots of theories around it. Let’s take them on one by one.
Technology versus Management:
The basics first. IITians are taught engineering, science and all technical aspects. The IIMs, on the other hand, impart management education and research.
IITians are supposed to have an upper hand straight from there. With a sound knowledge of technology, how it works and how it can be made to work, is something that holds them in good stead right from the start.
Considering that most start-ups these days take the app way to grow in business also gives them the edge. Many such start-ups have technical wizards in the founder list. Needless to say, it always helps. Managers, on the other hand,are trained to look at a business holistically.
Building from the scratch:
Do any amount of research online on the subject and most commentaries would invariably say that IITs train their wards into ‘innovation’. The idea there is to make them create a product from the scratch and become responsible for its success. If one of their innovations doesn’t succeed, well they are encouraged to start all over again. So, these guys tend to have the never-say-die spirit or so it means. The IIM graduates are given training to manage an existing entity, assess it, analyse it and take up measures that will keep it going, in a better way. The whole exercise is supposed to ensure they learn how to manage things. Some students believe the IITians are required to exhibit ‘strong analytical skills’ which works for them when it comes to launching a start-up.
Size matters:
There are a total of 16 IITs across India while the number of IIMs is 19. The sheer number is something of a differentiator. According to some statistics in 2015, around 200 IIM graduates opt to join the entrepreneurship bandwagon every year, while the same number of IIT students is 1,600. This itself is considered by some as self-explanatory as to why IITs are better for start-ups.
Risk taking ability:
The average cost of studying at IIM is around Rs 9 lakh per annum. The IITians are supposed to pay only Rs 90,000 in comparison, the equivalent of average playschool fee today. There was a proposal to increase the IIT fee, but it was deferred in October 2015.
IIM graduates command a better salary as they get plush jobs with coveted brands, yet they wouldn’t have the rigour and enthusiasm for a start-up which an IIT guy would be itching to start.
Once the IIM graduate lands a good job, read lucrative, it is difficult to leave it to plunge into entrepreneurship as the salary helps to pay the bills and even student loan.
Since, IIT isn’t as expensive as the IIM brand, the former are better positioned to believe in their idea and be on their own. They are and can be supported by a huge, rich alumni network who range from Nikesh Arora, Vinod Khosla, Amit Singhal, Sachin Bansal, Binny Bansal, SundarPichai, Deepinder Goyal, and many others. In fact, they say out of India, it is really the IIT that gets more attention than an IIM.
Having said that, there is no specific way to say that a degree from IIM means you can’t start-up yourself. Some names in the list above have a management degree as well. This makes them better positioned to look after their growing company.
Stability issues:
One becomes eligible to apply for the IIM is after completing his or her bachelor’s degree, but for IIT admissions, students begin preparing while they are still in school. The age at which an IIM student graduates is when he is supposed to get married, have a stable job and ‘settle’ in his life.
An IIT grad has age on his side and can take time to make mistakes, and succeed in a trial and error method. Nevertheless, not all IITians end up in a start-up, most of them also opt for comfortable jobs with a decent pay package.
For someone to start a business, you really need to believe in your idea and be prepared to put in the time and effort that you would if you were bringing up your child.
Having stated the above theories, the one thing that ought not to be missed here is that a start-up needs the best of both the worlds: technological innovation and administrative intelligence.
To have an idea is great, to get funding for it is super, but if you have an idea how to run your business, you need the sane advice of a management consultant. Hence, the best start-ups would always have some of the best minds from both the disciplines.
Technical + Management knowledge = Start-up success.
And one more thing. A non-IIT/IIM person can also succeed in a start-up, yet the brand your degree comes from would get your CV on top of the list for venture capitalists to see and bet on. That’s for sure.

While You Were Sleeping (1995)
The most disorienting aspect of While You Were Sleeping now is knowing that Sandra Bullock would eventually star in Gravity, which is a good film but - sadly - not a Christmas movie. While You Were Sleeping, on the other hand, is just the opposite.
For those of you lucky enough to have missed the 90's, the decade was full of movies like this. The rom-com was about as common then as superhero movies are now. This one's no worse than most, but that's a relatively low bar.
This movie starts by introducing us to Sandra Bullock, who plays a character whose main character trait is that she's lonely. Yes, it's Christmas, and she has no one to share it with other than her cat. Also, she wants to travel.
Her job is to collect tokens from people boarding the Chicago subways. The one bright part of her day is when this one random guy comes by. She's never spoken to him, but she falls for him anyway, because she has serious emotional issues.
On Christmas morning, which she has to work because her coworkers have people who care about them, she sees the random guy get attacked and fall onto the tracks. She jumps down and pulls his unconscious body out of the way of the train. The guy lands in a coma, and Bullock follows him to the hospital.
Due to an implausible and contrived series of events, his family winds up thinking she's his fiance, leading to a series of scenarios a cynical person might mockingly call "humorous." She celebrates Christmas with them and winds up being accepted into the family. Everyone just accepts her without question.
Everyone, that is, except for the coma-guy's skeptical yet kindhearted brother, played by the more conventionally attractive Bill Pullman. He's always had issues with his brother, who we begin to learn is a pretty mediocre human, anyway.
She's freaked out by the misunderstanding and wants to set things straight. Unfortunately for those of us watching the movie, this takes an hour and change to get resolved. Even the guy waking up doesn't do the trick: everyone assumes he's got amnesia, and he's dumb enough to believe it.
Needless to say, the movie resolves with her marrying Pullman's character. The fact she knows him only slightly better than his brother at this point isn't brought up. But she winds up with a guy who makes rocking chairs, a family of over-the-top character actors, and a chance to utter the movie's title as the end credits roll.
There are worse romantic comedies out there, but that's no reason to waste your time with this garbage. The movie is cheesy, boring, and moronic. Skip it.

waiting for something
that resembles gold
when life is a whole lot of copper
maybe tomorrow will be different
when the sun breaks
they call it dreaming
but i’m most often awake
to watch the clouds slide by
and every second feels like i’m too late
feeling my days slip away
from the same point of view
less of me, more of you
always more of you
when i jump the gun and wave this town away
watching the sunset in my mirror
i hope i still own myself
that it was worth all the trials
that took the tiny pieces of me
and made me make my own armor
i hope i can say
whats left of me
is the gold i am missing

Carbonated beverages can cause osteoporosis. … However, it should be noted that according to the Framingham Osteoporosis Study, colas, but no other carbonated beverages, were associated with significantly lower bone mass density in the hips of older women.
Phosphoric acid in soda can also impair your body’s ability to use other minerals, such as iron, zinc, and magnesiumPhosphoric acid is dangerous if you come into contact with it as a chemical substance. The toxic fumes can irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
Most soft drinks contain caffeine, which is a nervous system stimulant that causes stress on the adrenal glands and the body, contributing to nervous stomach, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and increased mineral loss from the body.
Even though Mg ( magnesium ) is by far the least abundant serum electrolyte, it is extremely important for the metabolism of Ca, K, P, Zn, Cu, Fe, Na, Pb, Cd, HCl, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide (NO), for many enzymes, for the intracellular homeostasis and for activation of thiamine and therefore, for a very wide gamut of crucial body functions.
Mg absorption and elimination depend on a very large number of variables, at least one of which often goes awry, leading to a Mg deficiency that can present with many signs and symptoms. Mg absorption requires plenty of Mg in the diet, Se, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamins B6 and D. Furthermore, it is hindered by excess fat. On the other hand, Mg levels are decreased by excess ethanol, salt, phosphoric acid (sodas) and coffee intake, by profuse sweating, by intense, prolonged stress, by excessive menstruation and vaginal flux, by diuretics and other drugs and by certain parasites (pinworms). The very small probability that all the variables affecting Mg levels will behave favorably, results in a high probability of a gradually intensifying Mg deficiency. It is highly regrettable that the deficiency of such an inexpensive, low-toxicity nutrient result in diseases that cause incalculable suffering and expense throughout the world. The range of pathologies associated with Mg deficiency is staggering: hypertension (cardiovascular disease, kidney and liver damage, etc.), peroxynitrite damage (migraine, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.), recurrent bacterial infection due to low levels of nitric oxide in the cavities (sinuses, vagina, middle ear, lungs, throat, etc.), fungal infections due to a depressed immune system, thiamine deactivation (low gastric acid, behavioral disorders, etc.), premenstrual syndrome, Ca deficiency (osteoporosis, hypertension, mood swings, etc.), tooth cavities, hearing loss, diabetes type II, cramps, muscle weakness, impotence (lack of NO), aggression (lack of NO), fibromas, K deficiency (arrhythmia, hypertension, some forms of cancer), Fe accumulation, etc. Finally, because there are so many variables involved in the Mg metabolism, evaluating the effect of Mg in many diseases has frustrated many researchers who have simply tried supplementation with Mg, without undertaking the task of ensuring its absorption and preventing excessive elimination, rendering the study of Mg deficiency much more difficult than for most other nutr

Ten-Second Takeaway
Theatre group, Sanket’s latest production, Shylock, looks at the popular Shakespearean character in a new light, while exploring other relevant concepts.
Fresh Perspective
Anyone who has read {or watched a stage adaptation of} Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice would remember the Jewish moneylender, Shylock and his ruthless demand for “a pound of flesh”. While we might find him to be heartless albeit entertaining, theatreperson and director of Sanket {a theatre troupe founded by Shankar Nag in 1979}, Surendranath hopes to explore the character in a new perspective with his upcoming production, Shylock. Having edited lines from the original play and included parts from Christopher Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, the 60-minute English play has been designed and directed by him.
Delving Deeper
Veering away from portraying the controversial character as a villain or a sympathetic figure, Surendranath’s work looks at Shylock as the wronged person, left with no choice but to accept his penalty. Apart from humanising him, the director depicts him as a Jew living in a ghetto outside Venice, subtly exploring concepts like minority groups. Featuring only two characters, Antonio {played by actor Nakul Bhalla} and Shylock {played by Anish Victor, known for his Koogu performance}, the play supposedly has references to the Indian political scene, making it more relevant to the present day.

The RAM, also known as the 6.5-Inch Anti-Tank Aircraft Rocket or ATAR, was an air-to-ground rocket used by the United States Navy during the Korean War. Developed rapidly, the rocket proved successful but was phased out shortly after the end of the conflict.
Design and development
In 1950, the outbreak of the Korean War resulted in the United States Navy urgently requiring an aircraft-launched rocket that would be effective against enemy tanks,[2] as the existing High Velocity Aircraft Rocket (HVAR) high-velocity aircraft rocket was expected to be ineffective against the armor of IS-3 heavy tanks.[3]
The development of an improved rocket was undertaken with remarkable speed; a directive to start work on the project was issued on July 6, 1950, and the first rockets were delivered to the war zone on July 29.[4] Over the course of those 23 days, the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, located in China Lake, California, developed an improved version of the HVAR, with a new, 6.5 inches (165 mm) shaped-charge warhead replacing the earlier weapon's 5 inches (127 mm) charge.[2] The fuse for the shaped charge, developed with the same haste as the rocket itself, was considered dangerous, but proved to be safe enough in service; it was described as being "[not] as dangerous as the Russian tanks" it was designed to destroy.[5] Claimed as being superior in armor penetration to the conventional 3.5 inch bazooka's warhead,[4] which could penetrate 11 inches (279 mm) of armor,[6] the RAM's warhead was capable of penetrating 24 inches (610 mm) of armor plate.[7]
Operational history
Officially designated the 6.5-Inch Anti-Tank Aircraft Rocket (ATAR), and commonly known in service as "RAM", the new rocket was rushed to the Korean front,[2] being used in combat for the first time on August 16, 1950.[4] Despite the haste with which the weapon had been developed, the very first shipment included a full set of documentation and firing tables for the use of the rocket.[8] The first 600 rockets were constructed by hand,[3] but a production line was rapidly set up.[4]
In operational service, the RAM was fitted to the P-51 Mustang, F-80 Shooting Star and F4U Corsair aircraft,[9] and it proved to be moderately effective,[2] with the first 150 rockets fired scoring "at least" eight confirmed kills of North Korean tanks.[9] However, the rocket proved to be unpopular with pilots, due to the close approach to the target required for accurate firing execution; the HVAR offered a longer range, while napalm was considered more effective if the range had to be closed.[10] With the end of the war in 1953, the ATAR was withdrawn from service,[10] improved versions of the HVAR having become available as an alternative.[2]

What's in a Word?
By Fran Rizer
In 2011, the English language passed the million word mark, and folks at the Global Language Monitor estimate that the language gains a new word every ninety-eight minutes. As writers, words are our primary tools. This is daunting.
When I think of the changing language, I confess my mind goes to changes in my lifetime--most of them as they relate to me. I confess I've been a cougar at times in the past, but I didn't know that was the word for it.
Some words "date" the speaker. Hardly anyone other than little old ladies in nursing homes use the word "rouge," as in, "That woman wore so much rouge she looked like a clown." (Or like a harlot depending upon who's talking.) It's been "blush" for years.
"Horrific" was created in my lifetime. A combination of "terrific" and "horrible," I refused to use that word for years, but I do now.
Eponyms are common words that are derived from proper names. Caesarian section was named after Julius Caesar, who was "plucked from his mother's womb." The saxophone was named for the Belgian inventor Adolphe Sax.
Since words have always fascinated me, I sometimes visit the Global Language Monitor. On December eleventh, the Monitor quoted Bill DeMain's 7/22/11 list of Fifteen Wonderful Words With No English Equivalent. I generally leave the lists up to John and Leigh, but I thought these were too great not to pass on.
1. Zhaghzhagh (Persian)
The chattering of teeth from the cold or from rage.
2. Yuputka (Ulwa)
A word made for walking in the woods at night. It's the phantom sensation of something
crawling on your skin.
3. Slampadato (Italian)
4. Luftmensch (Yiddish)
5. Iktsuarpok (Inuit)
You know that feeling of anticipation when you're waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they're there yet? This is the word for it.
6. Cotisuelto (Caribbean Spanish)
40, it means one who wears the shirt tail out of his trousers.
7. Pana Po o (Hawaiian)
"Mnn, now where did I leave those keys?" he asked, pana po o'ing. It means to scratch
your head in order to help you remember something you've forgotten.
8. Gumasservi (Turkish)
Meteorologists can be poets in Turkey with words like this. It means moonlight shining
on water.
9. Vybafnout (Czech)
A word tailor-made for annoying older brothers--it means to jump out and say boo.
10. Mencolek (Indonesian)
behind to fool them? The Indonesians have this word for it.
11. Famiti (Samoan)
dog or child.
12. Glas wen (Welsh)
13. Bakku-shan (Japanese)
14. Boketto (Japanese)
The Japanese respect so much of the act of gazing vacantly into the distance without thinking that they give it a name.
15. Kummerspeek (German)
Excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, grief bacon.
to give it a name.
Bakku-shan (No. 13) brought to mind that perhaps we need an English word for a guy with a fine behind who turns around and is actually U-G-L-Y. Or maybe a word for the ugly guy who just oozes appeal anyway. (My older son once told me that he'd figured out that men who appealed to me had "knowing eyes." I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe we need a word for "knowing eyes.") What about you? Can you think of an event or description that doesn't have an English word but needs one?
Note: Many thanks to those of you who communicated concern and best wishes for my mother. She's eighty-five, tiny, and fragile. The heart attack, broken hip, and cracked wrist took a lot out of her, and I spent almost two weeks at the hospital round the clock. She is, however, improving, and has just been moved to rehab. Thanks again.
No contest question today.
Until we meet again. . .take care of YOU.
1. Good one, Fran. I heard Donna Leon, who lives in and writes mysteries set in Venice, say the Italians call a woman with an extreme facelift a "superliftata." As for Yiddish, when I was a kid, my parents and their friends would tell jokes in English, but the punchline was always in Yiddish. When the grownups howled with laughter and the kids clamored, "What does it mean?" they'd invariably say, "It's untranslatable!"
2. Thanks for the words! And thanks for the good words about your Mom!
3. What a brilliant list!
I don't know of any word in French for 'shallow' referring to depth. Usually they say 'not deep'.
Fran, I know you've been spending day and night at the hospital. I'm glad to hear your mother's improving. We think of you. Remember the last line of your columns: Take care of YOU!
4. Best regards to your mother, Fran--it's great to hear that she's doing better. (My mom's 85 as well.)
I loved your list!! By the way, I actively practice boketto AND cotisuelto.
5. Bakku-shan (No. 13) made me think of the old Cathy cartoons where remarks about a girl being chubby are made by guys who are chubby.
Me, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for a luftmensch bokettoing.
6. Thanks for your kind words and kind thoughts. I enjoyed every one of your comments and am still trying to think up some words we need in English.

Copycat: it all ends here.
First of all, congrats to everyone who participated, you are all worthy of prizes because I'm sure you learned a lot from this :] Thank you for entering this challenge!
Second, the first three entries were very hard to rank; if it were possible, I'd like to give the first prize to all of them. Seriously, you guys did amazing.
Third, so as not to be a prick, the non-top-three contestants will get 2 icon requests each! Also, they're listed in no particular order, so don't think I'm ranking them.
Fourth, while the judging may seem stupid and crude, it's all fun and games, so please don't take it to heart if I say something a bit innapropriate ^_^ "How close" refers to how exact your copying was.
So, without further ado, let the bitching judging commence!
Contestant: Angel Zakuro
Entry: listen to you.
Rank: Faaabulous First >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 98% - attention, we have a forger on the loose!
Awesome!: Good description, I could tell what you did and how you worked. Also, the likeness is amazing, you managed to imitate Ritona Raito's style very well and paid attention to the elements she usually uses when making cards.
Meh: The red is too bright for my eyes! You should tone it down a bit, there is some pixelation on the hair and at the edges of the face.
Yuck!: Nothing as extreme to warrant a mention here.
Prize: a wallpaper request, a maximum of 10 icon requests, one gift
Contestant: Ritona Raito
Entry: King of Eden
Rank: Seductive Second >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 95% - can pass as authentic!
Awesome!: See, that's why I said judging was difficult. Very detailed description of the work process and eerie resemblance to the inspiration-artist's style, down to the fonts and brushwork.
Meh: If anything, your card turned out better than your source of inspiration's >.> I'm just sayin'. (more like a 'meh' directed towards the source) One thing that bugs me, though, is the graininess inside the outlines of the character. I don't know whether this was intended or not, but it makes the overall flow of the card go down a bit, quality-wise. Since you have so many "round" elements, it'd be best to have another element from the main image (the character) of a similar quality, so as not to contradict one another.
Yuck!: No bitching from me here!
Prize: an e-card request, a maximum of 7 icon requests, one gift
Contestant: Mizuginiro
Entry: Advice is like snow
Rank: Tittilating Third >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 97% - who am I kidding, did you steal and submit this as your own?
Awesome!: Very good likeness to the style of the source, I especially like that you improved the font by making it less jagged.
Meh: More description! I know you mentioned what you worked on, but elaborate a bit on what you did. Posting the source image (the images you used in making the card) always helps as well, since you can compare and see how much you've modified it. Lastly, I would've liked to see more blending of the background and the character. The extraction is good but he looks like he's standing in front of a cardboard panel (the contrast in the BG is too high compared to the character, whose color are more muted; texture not taken into account because it's part of the source-artist's style).
Yuck!: Nothing extreme to report on here.
Prize: a maximum of 4 icon requests, one gift
Contestant: SaxGirl
Entry: Daylight Lucidity
Rank: Kickass Contestant >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 75% - not quite there yet, but almost!
Awesome!: I think your description was the most detailed of all, so props for that! Also, the overall layout is very similar to your source of inspiration.
Meh: The image and text are too distinct. Try to blend them more - often, modifying the text isn't enough, you need to work on the image as well. I suggest you experiment with Curves and Selective Color, they're great ways to achieve distinctive coloring with very little effort.
Yuck!: The text in brown isn't readable. At all. I know it's mostly for artistic purposes, but the image is too dark, compared to the text; try to up the contrast on it. Some advice: generally, people use pixel fonts for this artistic-yet-unreadable type of effect; there are lots of pixel fonts available and you can play with the settings until you get something satisfactoy. Try to stay away from system fonts (those that come with the operating system), since they're almost never a good choice.
Prize: a maximum of 2 icon requests
Contestant: Pikmin541
Entry: Goodbye...
Rank: Kickass Contestant >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 20% - I don't see it!
Awesome!: I like the sparkles and font!
Meh: Not enough description. You nailed the basics but it'd be best to elaborate more. This way you know what you did and where you can improve.
Yuck!: *sigh* Alright, first things first, do not compress the image like that. If you really want to have that big a part of it in your card, try putting black bars on the top and bottom (as if it were a movie) or, if you're ninja (:D) enough, extend the top and bottom instead of adding the bars (manually, not by stretching the image!). Always maintain the proportions reasonable! Moreover, I don't really see the resemblance between your card and your source's. Don't be afraid to use textures and brushes, they enhance your image. Play with colors and hues more.
Prize: a maximum of 2 icon requests
Contestant: SakuraDust
Entry: My Definition
Rank: Kickass Contestant >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 85% - very similar!
Awesome!: I like the fact that you used your own style and blended it with the source's; that way you try something new while still keeping to your way. Love the use of textures as well, and the whole grunge feel.
Meh: Uh, I feel bad about saying this...but your card actually looks better than the source. The text is a bit too sharp and distracting, though, and you could add a bit more to the description part.
Yuck!: Nothing to complain about here.
Prize: a maximum of 2 icon requests
Contestant: swizzledhazelnut
Entry: haruhi ROCKS!
Rank: Kickass Contestant >> banner of awesomeness
How close: 55% - I can see the likeness!
Awesome!: I'm in love with the background! It fits with the character and I like the fact that you weren't afraid to try a more daring and chaotic color scheme. I think you improved the source's style.
Meh: I'll let it slide that you used a wallpaper as inspiration, even though you were supposed to use a card. The description is lacking, you should write more about what you did, share the experience.
Yuck!: Edit the font, it doesn't fit with the rest of the card. I hope this isn't the case, but it almost looks like you took a wallpaper made by someone else, cropped it and the text was your only addition. To avoid this confusion in the future, make sure everything blends and that nothing looks out of place or can be doubted.
Prize: a maximum of 2 icon requests
Be sure to let me know what you'd like for your prizes, either here (in the comments) or via PM. Obviously, everyone automatically gets a medal. By the way, I don't shy away from yaoi/yuri/hentai, so feel free to request stuff like that if you want to :D
Feedback form!
Of course, you're not forced to fill this in, but it'd help a lot to get some feedback ^^ Here are the questions:
1. How was this challenge for you? Easy? Difficult? Boring?
2. What did you like most?
3. What didn't you like?
4. What would you like to see/participate in next?
Let the throwing of the rotten tomatoes begin! :D

Speaking in the native tongue of a swagger guy; to use one's tone of voice and choice of vocabulary.
Guy#1: "Hey dude, what the hell is that guy at the bar in the sick threads talking about? And why are those girls so attracted to him all of a sudden?"
Guy#2: "Oh that guy? He's Swaggarian. Only women and other Swaggers know what he's saying. Women usually find the native tongue of a Swaggarian gentleman attractive."

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Today's Best Tech Deals

The first-person shooter genre is pretty stale in the gaming world these days. Uninspired gunplay, interchangeable macho marine protagonists, and clichéd stories gave rise to legendary titles like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, but now such devices have diluted the genre. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare draws its influence not only from landmarks of the genre, but also from Tom Clancy novels, international politics, and the realism of modern warfare. From its visually stunning beginning to its emotionally wrenching ending, this is a surprisingly deep, rich, and unique approach to the first-person shooter.
CoD 4 is the fourth installment of the popular series and the first chapter set in the modern age. Diverse missions, lush environments, a variety of weapons, challenging goals, solid multiplayer mode and a well-paced story, makes this not only one of the best shooters of the year, but one of the best of all time. (For the purposes of this review I tested the version 1.5  of the game. Since writing the review, version 1.7 has been released, offering new maps and other new features to the game.)
Instead of inhabiting the body of a generic marine with a shaved head and a bad attitude (see Crysis or Turok, for example) you play as several characters whose stories are interrelated. You start out as a British SAS officer nicknamed Soap, and then later hop into the body of a U.S. Marine stationed in an unnamed Middle Eastern country (an obvious Iraq stand-in). Through the course of the story, you'll also inhabit the body of a gunship pilot and a British sniper sneaking around Chernobyl. Missions are varied and get increasingly challenging, especially during the later hours.
The opening credits deserve mention here too, because you are introduced to the crisis by witnessing the assassination of a Middle Eastern nation's president, from his perspective. It's rare to see a war game that punctures the monotony of combat to actually have an emotional impact on the player, but CoD 4 is paced in such a way to have some truly devastating moments as you grow more accustomed to the world and attached to your comrades.
The system requirements for CoD 4 seem pretty pedestrian (2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and Nvidia GeForce FX 7300) but you'll want to have a faster system and a better card if you really want to take advantage of the visuals. I ran CoD 4 on a 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo with a Nvidia GeForce FX 7300 card and even when I cranked up the settings and suffered through sluggish frame rates, it still didn't look as clean as it should. This is a game that really takes advantage of a better system; its graphics are so realistic, it feels like you're in the movie Black Hawk Down.
During the prologue, you land on a cargo ship in a rainstorm and dispatch terrorists as water pours onto the ship-the water, the lighting in the bulkheads, even the echoes in the ship's hull are rendered with such detail you'd think you were getting seasick.
CoD 4 is a very linear game, which runs counter to the current push in the industry for more open-ended game play à la Grand Theft Auto. While you'll have a variety of weapons at your disposal and can dispatch the terrorists you encounter however you like, your path is fairly straight and the game mandates that you follow the script for certain key moments. In one mission, you must take out enemy tanks using a missile launcher. You can try shooting at them with your pistol if you want, but the radio transmissions will get more and more urgent until you pick up that javelin. Instead of feeling constrained, I found such moments added to the story and were actions worthy of my time. Yes, in the real world it's unrealistic to expect the new recruit to play gunner on the chopper and later be tasked with using C4 to take out a bunker, but CoD 4 effectively lets you have your cake and eat it too.
The drawback of course is that there are only a limited number of ways to surpass certain obstacles, making the later missions (especially the Chernobyl one) brutally difficult. For good and bad, the enemy AI (artificial intelligence) is the best I've seen. Enemies will flank you, go for cover, and try to flush you out with grenades. The checkpoint save system can be irritating if you're in the middle of a prolonged firefight and have to keep reloading it from the beginning every time you die, but it's part of the challenge and really the only quibble you'll have about the single player mode.
Mac users should look forward to experiencing the same intensive multiplayer experience as PC users; CoD 4 servers are cross-platform. The multiplayer mode faithfully recreates the frantic difficulty of the single player with some nice multiplayer-only features. After dying, the camera shows a replay from your opponent's perspective-it's not only a cool way to learn how better players stalk they prey, it also reveals their positions.
Multiplayer profiles are organized by classes, such as Assault and Sniper. The more you play, the more weapons, bonuses, and ranks you can unlock. I was afraid that this would create balance issues where experienced players would overpower noobs-not true. Though some of the best guns in the game are unlocked after hours of playing, when you first start playing you're not being sent out there with spears and cardboard armor. If you learn how to use each class's strengths to your advantage, you can take on even the most experienced player. And if you rack up a certain number of kills without dying in a single round, you can call in a helicopter or air strike.
Macworld's buying advice
Call of Duty 4 deftly balances cinematic action with intuitive and challenging game play. Emotionally devastating and visually engrossing, this is one of the most beautiful, grittiest, and well-written games to come out in the past five years. Anything more realistic would probably require you to be enlisted.

Using SIP on the Desktop Softphone
This is part three of the Hoiio SIP series. We hope this guides you to find the SIP client best suited to your needs.
For those who prefer to go hardware-free, there is the softphone.
The softphone is a software program that enables users to make VoIP calls over the Internet. If you don’t prefer to purchase IP phones for your office phone system, the softphone is a good alternative.
Downloadable onto the desktop, the software does not require dedicated hardware to function. After you subscribe to a SIP service (such as Hoiio SIP), configure the subscription details into your softphone to start making VoIP calls.
Is it suitable for my business?
Anyone with an Internet connection has access to a softphone. This makes it a good option for remote employees or frequent travellers, as they just need a computer to connect with their colleagues.
The convenience of a software phone is that you can travel light — there’s no need to ensure you have access to an IP phone in order to stay contactable. And the softphone is also downloadable onto the mobile phone, something we will cover in the next (and final) instalment.
Guides for step-by-step configuration on different softphones
Here are some guides for configuring your SIP details on various softphones:
1. Configure X-Lite IP Softphone with Hoiio SIP
2. Configure 3CXPhone for Windows with Hoiio SIP
3. Configure Bria 3 with Hoiio SIP
4. Configure Zoiper for iPhone with Hoiio SIP

Rubber Floor Mat Benefits
Rubber floor mats are a very functional item for the home. They can prevent injuries from slipping, and can be of great use to prevent accidents and falls. It’s also physically beneficial have something flexible under your feet, particularly if you need to stand for long periods of time. An example would be at a workbench or in a kitchen where a person stands a great deal. They are also very good for someone who washes the dishes by hand, because when the water gets on the mat, the rubber provides a safe, non-slip surface. Additionally, rubber floor mats make good door and welcome mats, and can prevent a fall when crossing a threshold.
Another benefit is that a rubber floor mat is exceptionally easy to clean. All that is required is to rinse the mat with soapy water. Antibacterial soap or dish detergent tends to work the best. For outdoor use (such as a garage floor covering), they can simply be hosed off, or can be soaked in some dishwater in the bathtub. These mats dry easily and are simple to maintain. They don’t lose their form or curl up, and can be rolled or folded for storage – yet still roll out as good as new.
Rubber mats can also protect your floors from being scratched and damaged. They can be placed underneath heavy items, such as certain types of furniture, which may tend to slide on hardwood floors. A mat may be used at the bottom of the stairs to help prevent falls. They can be used outdoors, just as well as they can be used indoors. They are durable, weather resistant, and can handle just about any amount of traffic which may present itself to a home. Another use for a anti slip rubber matting would be in the pool area, as well as in showers in order to prevent slipping on moist or damp surfaces. Some floors are more prone to incur slipping and sliding. Perhaps in places like the garage, where there may be the presence of motor oil, it would be a good thing to have a slip resistant mat. There are numerous ways to use them, and they can really be an advantage in certain situations.
A rubber floor mat is light weight and easy to manage. Sometimes you might need a mat for just one thing. You will probably find another way to use it if there is one thing that it is already used for. These entrance mats are multi functional, and are usually just good things to have around the house. You will undoubtedly come up with many different uses and applications for your rubber floor mats, and will be glad to have a supply at hand when needed.

Patient discussion about osteoarthritis
Q. What are the complications of osteoarthritis?
A2The complications of osteoarthritis are mainly related to dealing with chronic pain. This can be difficult and result in depression. Communicating with other patients and caregivers can be helpful, as can maintaining a positive attitude. People who take control of their treatment, communicate with their health care provider, and actively manage their arthritis experience can reduce pain and improve function. Immobility as the disease progresses can be a very debilitating complication, and result in higher risk to development of blood clots.
A3the biggest risk is falling down and breaking grandma broke her hip. it is actually a life threatening accident. if you fall there's a bigger chance you'll break bones that don't break easily - like hip and thigh bones. those have a massive amount of blood vessels that will rip open and you can absolutely bleed to death.
Q. What Are the Possible Treatments for Osteoarthritis?
A1Dear Garland,
Best of luck,
A2Treatment of osteoarthritis is divided to medication therapy, lifestyle modifications and surgical methods. The first line of treatment will usually start with weight loss, exercise and dietary changes. Nutritional supplements are also known to be sometimes helpful. Medications are used for severe pains. When there is an actual major bone or cartilage distortion, surgery may be considered.
A3No matter the severity or location of osteoarthritis, conservative measures such as weight control, appropriate rest and exercise, and the use of mechanical support devices are usually beneficial (knee braces, walker, etc.). Applying local heat before, and cold packs after exercise, can help relieve pain and inflammation, as can relaxation techniques. Weight loss can relieve joint stress and may delay progression of this disease. Medication treatment includes a variety of pain relieving drugs. Surgery is usually the last option. anyway, treatment should be discussed with a professional expert on the subject.
Q. Can knee pain at childhood be connected to osteoarthritis?
A2The main risk factor for OA is high weight. The pain your son is suffering from is important and should be taken care of, but it is very hard to advocate that it will increase his risk for OA in the future

Baazaar Movie Review: Saif Ali Khan Makes An Offer You Can’t Refuse!
Movies, Music and Sitcom
Gauravv K Chawla's direction is perfection for a movie like this.
Baazaar Movie Review Rating: 3.5/5 Stars (Three and a half stars)
Star Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Rohan Mehra, Radhika Apte, Chitrangda Singh, Manish Chaudhari.
Director: Gauravv K Chawla
What’s Good: Saif Ali Khan’s salty aura coupled with a sharp performance, Aseem Arora’s seeti-maar dialogues, two impressing debuts by Gauravv K Chawla (Director) and Rohan Mehra (Actor)!
What’s Bad: Second half dips somewhere because of the overdose of technical terms, how I wish the makers shouldn’t have used a similar sketch as Oliver Stone’s Wall Street.
Loo Break: Not a single! Even if the ‘Dandha’ is too much for you in the second half, I’ll suggest be seated because you’ll need every dot to join in the end!
Watch or Not?: This is from those good movies which are not meant for everyone, it has its target audience among which it’ll get appraised but few people will just not enjoy as much as those people will. But one thing is for sure, you’ll enjoy it!
Shakun Kothari (Saif Ali Khan) is ‘the’ business tycoon and every stock trader’s wet dream. Rizwan Ahmed (Rohan Mehra), an aspiring moneymaker but lives with a conservative Farhan Qureshi’s kinda dad in Allahabad – sorry Mr. Adityanath, Prayagraj. Rizwan, along with his street-smart attitude & sky-high dreams reach Mumbai in order to make a name for himself.
Idolizing Shakun as god he meets Priya (Radhika Apte) who helps her in finding a job as a trader in a top firm. Relying heavy on emotions, he uses his brain to reach Shakun. Once their path intersects, the game of Brain vs Heart starts and how they make & break things is what the rest of the story revolves around.
Baazaar Movie Review: Script Analysis
I’m not at all saying Parveez Shaikh has penned this story after watching Wall Street (1978), I’m just saying how the basic premise of the whole master-disciple angle and how they stand against each other is already done. However, this is beautifully Indianised and every ‘desi’ ingredient works in the favour of the film. The spiritual angle kind of feels forced and adds nothing of substance to the feel.
Parveez Shaikh and Aseem Arora’s screenplay is tightly drawn during the major chunk of the film, yes it dips at certain places and that’s where things go out of hand. Swapnil Sonawane’s camera captures the essence of stock market in a pretty satisfactory way. There are scenes where the entire set-up looks inauthentic but it’s cleverly covered by solid performances. The idea of building up a relationship between Saif & Rohan’s character and then bringing them face to face lacks depth.
Baazaar Movie Review: Star Performance
Saif Ali Khan isn’t Indian Gordan Gekko, he’s the Shakun Kothari! Brilliantly portraying the role of this blunt businessman, he retains a kind of likability for his character. Mouthing some laudable dialogues, Saif delivers one of his best. Rohan Mehra hits the ball out of the park in his maiden attempt at movies. He’s balanced and handles the every emotion very naturally.
Radhika Apte is ‘aadat se majboor’ of giving notable performances back to back. She’s smartly picking up roles for herself which are right up to her alley.
Chitrangda Singh is pretty ordinary, she doesn’t has much contribution to the story. Manish Chaudhari as Rana Dasgupta is strictly fine but his character had the maximum scope to shine.
Baazaar Movie Review: Direction, Music
Gauravv K Chawla’s direction is perfection for a movie like this. The idea of fourth wall break is less affective because of the writing in it. Gauravv smoothly carry out the proceedings, also thanks to Maahir Zaveri and Arjun Srivastava’s editing. There are a lot of nominations coming for this debut director.
There are not much songs that obstruct your watching experience. Tanishk Bagchi’s Kem Cho is played in the background and goes very well with the scenes, best song of the album. Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Billionaire is quirky as most of his songs and comes at a juncture where it was required. Adhoora Lafz, La La La and Chhod Diya doesn’t work for me.
Baazaar Movie Review: The Last Word
Three and a half stars!

Caspian Report #3: Ford and Taylor
On the Narnia set in Prague, we catch up on the film's weaponry and costuming progress from Weta and the production design of Mraz's castle.
King Miraz, the brutal leader of Narnia, calls this enormous hulking castle on the backlot of Prague's famed Barrandov Studios home. It was constructed as a focal point for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, taking center stage for a defining battle in the film. It is so well constructed, so carefully integrated into the landscape that it looks like it has been there for ages. One of the reasons this level of detail exists is that it springs from the mind of Roger Ford, Production Designer for the first Narnia film and the Babe franchise, among others.
Ford, a respected legacy among production designers, met with us on the set right in the courtyard of the castle. Displaying the self-deprecation and willingness to talk at length about the nuance of design that characterizes all true artists, Ford chatted with us in a detailed discussion about the origin of the castle, key influences, and other design elements of the film. (Note, in addition to Roger Ford, we chatted with Academy-Award Winner Richard Taylor, of Weta, who was brought aboard to do model construction and assist in costume design. You can go directly to his interview by clicking here.
Q: Can you talk a little about the influences [for the castle]?
Roger Ford: We started off looking at a castle in France, called Pierrefonds Castle, as a location. That gave us a feeling of size that we wanted. We were thinking, you see, that the Telmarines who are now predominant in Narnia, having chased the Narnians back into the forests and slaughtered most of them, came from pirates, long ago &#Array; a thousand years ago. They were pirates that were shipwrecked on an island and found themselves in a cave where there was a portal into Narnia. So that's the beginning of Telmar and the Telmarines. Telmar was always there in the first film, but just next to Narnia. So we started to think about pirates, and we started to think about Peter and the children being English, and wanting Prince Caspian to somehow be different. We didn't want another bunch of English people, in other words. It wasn't going to be interesting. And I said to Andrew, "Why don't we make them French?" Because there's always been stuff between the English and the French. It kind of sets up a nice situation. And he said, "Well, let's go further. Let's imagine perhaps that they're Spanish from the Iberian Peninsula. Which kind of fits better with pirates as well.
So this castle here, the influences for it are Spanish, a Spanish castle. We did a lot of research and it's pretty close in many respects. Even that detail up on the balcony [points up], the diamonds came from locations within Spain, references. We wanted it to be rather oppressive, so the color is not a happy, cheerful color. We wanted it to feel immense. These are not very nice people, Telmarines. Particularly Miraz. So we started to think about Fascists and the imagery, you know, war. We started to develop the eagle and it almost has a 1930s influence. But they've definitely got a Fascist feeling. And then, as another symbol for the Telmarines, we thought "pirates", and what would be a good symbol that we can use on banners and flags, and we developed the idea of the compass. And we've used that symbol in the heraldry and in the Great Hall in the floor. It's almost, if you can imagine, Italian Fascists sort of using something like those. And these stories are all about the last War, basically, they were written after the War ended.
Q: How do you get your head around something this large? What's the first thing you start on? Do you have a vision of this and you work toward it?
Ford: We knew what size we wanted, because Andrew had seen this castle in France, and we use what's called pre-visualization in the film, which is a visualization of the film in a computer before the set gets built even. So pre-viz had taken the plans of that castle quite early on, this is Pierrefonds, and put them into the computer and started to work out the action in the courtyard. As we started to design this thing, we used the same sizes as had been used in that castle. We were, of course, able then, while building the set, to give Andrew much more of what he wanted for the action. So all these stairs [points around] are specifically designed for the action of what we call the Raid in the film, when the Narnians try and take the castle. And they get surrounded by archers, all crossbowmen, and quite unpleasant things happen. So it's purpose-built for the film. And everything here, the way it's all planned out, is built to suit the film, rather than just "here's a set, do what you want to do with it."
Q: Did you feel a sense of intimidation about the scale?
Ford: You know, basically, it's just more carpenters. It's no different... I mean the scale, it's no different to designing any other set, except that it's more people, more money.
Q: You carry these themes into the Great Hall set as well?
Ford: Yes. This is actually the exterior of the Great Hall. It kind of loosely resembles it, so this big window here, you'd have in the Great Hall, that is vaguely that shape. We had some very big iron chandeliers hanging in the Great Hall, hanging from eagles like this, but made of like cast iron and bronze and these huge chandelier things all around the Hall. It's quite impressive, actually.

Opel Astra Sedan: spy shots
Written By: -
Opel Astra Sedan spy shots
Here are the latest spy shots picturing the upcoming Opel Astra sedan, the three-box version of the popular German hatch. The pictured mule is wearing just some light camouflage on the front grille and on the whole rear section, and shows us a front-end that doesn’t seem too different from what we have already seen on previous spy shots and on the station wagon and convertible versions of the car.
In terms of engine range, the model should come with the same line-up of the other body types: on the petrol side we have a 1.4-litre unit delivering 100 hp, a 1.6 delivering 115 hp and a turbocharged 1.4 producing 140 hp. As for the diesel, there will be a 1.3-litre engine producing 95 hp as well as a 1.7-litre in power steps of 110, 125 and 130 hp, all of which CDTi. The inclusions of a more performing, supercharged 180 hp 1.6-litre turbo petrol unit and of a 165 hp 2.0 diesel unit have not been ruled out and are still in the cards.

Stalley - Monkey Ish (RIP Pimp C)
• Artist: Stalley
• Track: Monkey Ish (RIP Pimp C)
• Producer: Rashad Thomas
• Album: Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music)
Nearly three years after the UGK legend's tragic death, rappers from the Lone Star State and beyond continue to pay regular tribute to Pimp C, and it's no mystery why: behind the Southern-fried swagger, hot instrumentals and female dog/gardening implement-peppered verses beats the heart of a born leader with an ironclad commitment to realness. Thus, it's only right that, in his first feature, Stalley evokes the late great's memory as he takes on the fakers and wannabes: “Take that Monkey Ish off, you're embarrassing us.Rashad Thomas' boardwork, fueled by that classic quote (from Three 6's Sippin on Some Syrup) as well as some sampled grunts from Syl Johnson's Different Strokes (see also Kanye's The Joy) sets the stage for bars that are equal parts combative and contemplative. Lamenting that “There's no leaders in the game, just a bunch of monkeys tryin' to hang in packs and do the same thing,” the Ohio native commits himself to bearing the mantle of true hip-hop. Think Stalley might be the solution to the industry's woes? Then you'll most definitely want to check what else he and his behind-the-boards partner have to offer on Lincoln Way Nights, due out Jan. 11.
