DJ Barry Jenkin, also known as Dr Rock, was the inaugural host of late night music show Radio with Pictures in the late 1970s; his famous signature line was "good evening citizens". Kiwi musician and author Michael Larsen has compared Jenkin's influence in New Zealand to that of legendary English DJ John Peel, since both "consistently championed music that is very much off the mainstream".
Jenkin's broadcasting career spans four decades, decades that have seen him passionately championing everyone from The Stones to The Cure, and also contributing to a great many television voice-overs.
Jenkin trained as an announcer for the NZ Broadcasting Corporation in the late 60s. After three years at Palmerston North station 2ZA he was back in Auckland, where he joined 1ZM.
The 70s saw Jenkin alternating extended shifts with the State-controlled ZM and Radio Hauraki — which then often dominated the Auckland market. It was at Hauraki that DJ Fred Botica gave Jenkin his nickname Dr Rock, and Jenkin got the chance to play mostly what he wanted.
In 1977 director Alan Thurston invited Jenkin to be the first host of Sunday night music show Radio with Pictures (for its first year, RWP's music clips had been linked by graphics rather than a presenter). Jenkin signed on, and his pay soon rose to $95 a week, plus free tee-shirts. He would host the show for three years, followed by DJ Phil O'Brien, and returned to RWP to discuss some of his favourite local punk acts on this 1984 episode.
Jenkin has described the late 70s/early 80s as "a unique period for New Zealand music". "..from '77 onwards it was just a revolution...you were either a punk or a hippy. And if you were a hippy pity help you." Initially Jenkin found no love for punk flag-bearers The Sex Pistols, thinking they were "all just shock value and bollocks".
When Jenkin began hosting RWP, Bob Dylan and The Band were still show staples. He was won over to the musical revolution after hearing a track by the Stranglers at RWP 's offices: "..they weren't really punk, but by God did they have attitude."
Old RWP and Radio Hauraki playlists of The Stones, The Doors and Led Zeppelin were quickly dropped. "It was a dreadful decision in many ways — it was suicide and I knew it — but there was nothing I could do. It was too bloody exciting." Jenkin quickly learnt that the 'them and us' mentality of the times meant mixing the new music with old school acts left few parties satisfied. "I pitched all that other stuff out and started to play punk". Jenkin's radio ratings steadily drifted away from 51 per cent to 17 per cent; after being encouraged by his bosses to play more classic rock, Jenkin quit.
Soon Jenkin was offering rare early airplay to The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen on a 1251ZM midnight till dawn radio slot, which he ran alongside Andrew Page. A number of local musicians listened in avidly. Thanks to acquaintances in the music industry, Jenkin was allowed to hunt through local record company shelves for punk and new wave acts, and "grab all their samples. They didn't care." Jenkin persuaded his RNZ radio bosses to source some of the emerging punk and New Wave music directly from England, and occasionally convinced record companies to release some of it locally.
In the 80s Jenkin burnt his bridges and left dj'ing and music behind (he claims to have been fired by five radio stations). He plunged into a busy second career of voice-over work. As Bryan Staff has written, "advertising agencies, film companies and corporate video-makers discovered that Jenkin's gruff tones and measured delivery had many uses".
His screen work includes reading Colin Hogg's award-winning words for Barry Crump documentary Crump, Whitbread yacht race tale Two Boats, Two Dreams and bestselling NHNZ documentary Expedition Antarctica - Into the Frozen Abyss.
Over the years Jenkin noticed a change in how documentaries were created, from the early days when pictures came first. "Now I'll do the read and they'll cut the pictures around that."
In the late 80s Jenkin was kept busy doing voice-over work in Australia, under the name Barry Howard (in Australia his name was already taken). Jenkin got his foot in the door by dressing as a courier, and dropping his CV at a voice agency that claimed not to be taking on any new talent.
While in Australia Jenkin discovered he was a neighbour of Kiwi musician/manager Brent Eccles. Back in NZ, Eccles would tap him to handle publicity for a Kiwi tour by Bic Runga, Dave Dobbyn, and Tim Finn. Jenkin has also dabbled in music production, and once personally flew members of post-punk band the Herco Pilots to a gig by aeroplane (Jenkin is a long time fan of flying).
Jenkin has also done further stints on radio, and in 2004 Jenkin bought his own station on Waiheke Island. But "the local economy didn't need it - particularly not what I wanted to play." These days Jenkin is kept busy running Waiheke's first wireless broadband company, Ynet.

hocking footage has captured the moment a group of revellers destroyed a bus stop while dancing on its roof during Notting Hill Carnival.
Several people were seen standing on top of the Kensal House bus shelter on Ladbroke Grove before tumbling to the pavement after it collapsed.
Two people suffered minor injuries following the dramatic incident on Sunday.
It came as thousands of people flooded the streets of west London as Notting Hill returned for the first time in three years.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the carnival had “become one of the world’s biggest street festivals and part of the very fabric of this city”. But he added that the event had been hurt by the cost of living crunch.
“We are seeing those who want to have floats, those who want to have sound systems, pulling out because they can’t afford to pay their bills,” he said.
The family parade, which saw hundreds of children dress up in costumes and face paint, ended at 5.30pm yesterday before the adult’s parade today, which is expected to be busier and will last until 8.30pm.
At least 38 people had been arrested by 7.30pm on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said.
The alleged offences included drug possession, criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon. There were ten arrests for assault and two for sexual assault.
A police horse died at the event but it was not immediately clear why.
Elsewhere, a boy of 16 died yesterday after falling ill at Leeds Festival. West Yorkshire Police are looking into whether he had taken an ecstasy tablet at the music event.

Highland Baseball Splits at Johnson Countypublished March 12, 2012
Highland Baseball Splits at Johnson County
The Highland Community College baseball team resumed conference play traveling to Johnson County Community College for a week-end series. On Friday, Johnson County used the big inning in defeating HCC 9-6 and 7-5, to sweep the doubleheader, but on Saturday, the Scotties returned the favor, defeating the Cavaliers 18-7 and 5-1.
In game one, after HCC scored four runs in the top of the third inning to take a 4-2 lead, Johnson County turned a two-out walk into a five-run inning, and a 7-4 lead. Jeremy Monty (Colorado Springs, CO) had RBI hits in the fourth and sixth innings as the Scotties closed the gap to 7-6, but the Cavaliers used a single, a triple, and a sacrifice fly to add two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth, and go on to a 9-6 win. Monty and Craig Hill (Morris, OK) had two hits each for HCC.
In game two, Johnson County used a walk and five singles in the bottom of the fifth inning to score five runs and to break open a 2-2 tie, and take a 7-2 lead. HCC tried to rally in the top of the seventh inning on singles by Hill and Monty, and then Tyler Goldsberry (Papillion, NE) hit a two run triple. Goldsberry scored on an RBI ground out by Andrew Standish (Omaha, NE) to make the score 7-5, but were unable to continue the rally. Goldsberry had three hits in the contest to lead HCC hitters. Monty and Hill had two hits each.
In game one on Saturday, the Scottie bats exploded for twenty-one hits, including ten extra-base hits and got solid relief pitching from Seneca natives Tegan Seitz and Derek Rottinghaus as the Scotties blasted Johnson County 18-7. After the Cavaliers scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning to take a 5-3 lead, HCC scored three runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings, four runs in the sixth inning, and five runs in the seventh inning, while Seitz and Rottinghaus kept Johnson County from scoring, giving the Scotties an 18-5 lead entering the bottom of the seventh inning. Tyler Goldsberry led the offensive onslaught going five for five with a double, two triples, five runs scored, and four RBIs. Andrew Standish (Omaha, NE) and Jared Hawkins (Wathena) also had big games as Standish had three hits, two doubles, and six RBIs, while Hawkins had three hits, including an RBI double and three run home run. Josh Reynolds (Gretna, NE) had four hits and Craig Hill (Morris, OK) three hits.

Andrew Standish (Omaha, NE) gave Highland all the runs it needed with an RBI single in the first inning, and a two run home run in the third inning. Jesse Richel ((Morris, OK) also had a first inning RBI single, and Jeremy Monty (Colorado Springs, CO) added an RBI double in the fourth inning. DeVader allowed eight singles in the contest, while striking out five batters.
The wins put the Scotties record at 3-5 in conference play, and 11-8 overall.

In the USA, the term wellness is often used to describe the lack of disease. Nonetheless, this interpretation is insufficient. Being healthy and balanced ways managing illness, which is not the like being healthy. Additionally, health is a way of life option, as well as it is very important for maturing individuals to be in good physical as well as psychological problem. Consequently, a distinct interpretation of wellness is necessary. The initial step to creating a comprehensive interpretation of wellness is to define what we indicate by the word.
Health is a state of full physical, mental, as well as social health, according to the Globe Wellness Company. Promoting health and wellness indicates taking part in tasks that add to healthiness, as well as staying clear of activities that are damaging to the mind and body. Some elements add to your health and wellness, while others are structural. Right here are a few of one of the most crucial meanings of health: (a) The medical model: In 1948, the that specified “wellness” as “lack of condition.” This meaning is no more appropriate. Instead, it should concentrate on an individual’s capability to adapt to the environment, take care of stress and anxiety, and also boost their lifestyle. Kelowna chiropractor clinic
The WHO defines wellness as the “capability to join culture, experience enjoyment, and be devoid of disease.” This meaning is no more appropriate today, states Huber et al. They suggest that we ought to move the emphasis of health from the lack of condition to the ability to adjust and take care of situations. On top of that, the concept of health and wellness must be accompanied by a solid feeling of self-awareness as well as resilience. And also ultimately, health is a matter of option.
That’s meaning of wellness was defined in 1948. It consisted of the absence of disease. Nonetheless, current studies have actually shown that this is an unrealistic concept. Couple of individuals can reside in complete wellness. Furthermore, ‘total wellness’ falls short to represent impairments as well as persistent diseases. Basically, it adds to the overmedicalisation of our culture. For that reason, we need to concentrate on a holistic sight of health and wellness. There is nobody universal definition of health.
According to the Globe Health Company (WHO), wellness is the lack of condition. An individual needs to be healthy and balanced to be healthy. The only method to accomplish that is to stay clear of unhealthful situations. The WorldHealth Organisation interpretation of health and wellness is based on 2 criteria: social and physical. While social and also physical health are important, the capability to adjust as well as take care of is similarly important. The ability to stay in a healthy and balanced setting is crucial. The ‘total health’ interpretation is the lack of disease.
To accomplish this objective, we need to boost the quality of life of all people. The WorldHealthOrganization’s definition of health and wellness was developed in 1948 as well as included the lack of illness. Nonetheless, this meaning has actually altered significantly since then. In recent years, the WHO has actually been focusing on the capability to handle tension as well as adapt. This meaning has been made use of by the that ever since. It has actually ended up being the most vital global-health organization in the world. best chiropractic
The WorldHealth Organization specifies health as a state of total physical, mental, and social well-being. It is an interdisciplinary idea, and numerous nations have various meanings of health. Yet, if we are to specify health and wellness as a state of health and wellness, we have to look past a person’s appearance. In a healthy and balanced setting, the body is a reflection of the setting. The body is a mirror of the world.
According to the WorldHealthOrgination, health and wellness is the lack of disease. The biopsychosocial model recognizes the social, mental, as well as physiological elements of an individual’s well-being. The WorldHealthOrginisation states that a healthy and balanced person is a fully-functioning person. This meaning is commonly deemed an excellent state, but there is no global interpretation of a healthy and balanced individual. In the United States, a much healthier individual has no illness or handicap.
The WorldHealth Organization specifies wellness as the state of full physical as well as social wellbeing of a person. By comparison, a person can be a healthy and balanced person if they have the capacity to perform their day-to-day activities and also to be healthy. The WorldHealth Organization has actually determined a number of ways to promote this state of health and wellness. Enhancing awareness of the value of healthy living in a healthy and balanced culture can aid individuals live healthier lives. Yet it is not feasible to boost our general health and wellness by disregarding the requirement for psychological health.
The Globe Health and wellness Company defines health as “a state of full physical, psychological, as well as social well-being, without condition and infirmity.” The beginning constitution of the WHO explains wellness as a diverse concept that requires a much more nuanced method. The WHO’s interpretation of health and wellness stresses the capacity to please needs, understand aspirations, and also make favorable changes in one’s setting. However, is this sufficient? What is the very best way to measure health?
A best interpretation of health and wellness is the lack of illness. Public health purposes need to consist of prevention of influenza, vaccination of older adults, as well as excellent condition monitoring. Nevertheless, in spite of the obvious benefits of enhancing health and wellness and avoiding conditions, the concept of health is a lot more complex than this. In addition to addressing instant risks, health is also regarding prevention, very early discovery, and the management of conditions. Whether a disease is preventable, the best method depends upon the individual’s account and also demands.
The World Health Organization’s definition of health is an effective clarion phone call to activity for public health. In the mid-1950s, life span was just fifty-seven years for men as well as fifty-three for ladies, and also polio and also diphtheria were rampant. Poor life expectancies were worsened by persistent diseases. The top three causes of death worldwide in the mid-century were heart disease, cancer, and also stroke. clinic chiropractic Kelowna, BC
The concept of health and wellness can mean several points to different people. It can be basic or facility. As an example, a moderate allergic reaction can create a rash. In the most awful cases, it can bring about anaphylactic shock, coma, as well as fatality. A a lot more challenging interpretation can refer to the capacity to cope with demanding scenarios. The very best strategy to promoting health and wellness is to enhance the quality of life for everyone. It is necessary to recognize the factors of health as well as just how they connect to each other.

“Frank Gehry back in MOCA architecture show, coaxed by Thom Mayne”.
[Mike Boehm | latimes.com]
Dopo le polemiche – non ancora spente – sulla partecipazione di Gehry, la mostra A New Sculpturalism: Contemporary Architecture from Southern California sarà aperta (con un paio di settimane di ritardo sulla data prevista) dal 16 giugno al 16 settembre 2013 a The Geffen Contemporary di Los Angeles: gli ultimi 25 anni di architettura in Southern California, oltre 30 studi, 4 padiglioni realizzati ad hoc e molti elementi di esposizione al vero.
dal com. stampa: “The Museum of Contemporary Art presents A New Sculpturalism: Contemporary Architecture from Southern California, the first extensive, scholarly examination of the radical forms that have become prolific in Southern California architecture during the past twenty-five years. The exhibition begins by focusing on work from the mid-1980s, a period when postmodernism was waning and buildings by Frank Gehry, Franklin D. Israel, Thom Mayne, Michael Rotondi, and Eric Owen Moss were expanding the possibilities of form.
First identified by Charles Jencks as the L.A. School in the early 1990s, this loose cluster of practitioners evolved into a larger galaxy centered on common theoretical and technical approaches as well as Los Angeles’ unique urban landscape. The exhibition moves on to highlight the subsequent generations of expressive, experimental, and avant-garde architects in Los Angeles, while also exploring the influence of the city itself—its geography, schools, politics, and socioeconomic character—on their work. Celebrating the ideas, projects, and processes of major and emerging figures in contemporary Los Angeles architecture, the exhibition presents works by over thirty architectural firms based in Los Angeles […].
Presented at The Geffen Contemporary, whose signature space was created with Frank Gehry’s 1983 renovation and intended by the architect as a kind of active «arts studio», the exhibition aims to rethink how museums display architecture. A key concept for the show is that the visitor experience architecture primarily in its three-dimensional form with models, full-scale maquettes and full-size built structures. Also emphasized is the process of making architecture and how this has changed in the last twenty-five years.
In addition to showcasing a range of built work, four pavilions designed especially for the exhibition by younger and emerging Los Angeles firms will be presented. These structures will succinctly demonstrate that many of the earlier innovations that took place in the late 1970s and 1980s are still very much part of the dialogue in architecture today. It will also highlight the changes and advancements in digital technology that have allowed for the use of a plethora of new geometries and materials ”.

TORONTO, Ont. — With the economic fallout from Covid-19 draining government resources at a record pace, will there be anything left when the crisis is over to spur the e-mobility ecosystem? Canadians haven’t seen incentive programs for electric trucks of the scope seen in California in the pre-Covid-19 days, but there is reason to believe that any government money pumped into the recovery could be directed toward green technologies.
“Governments are spending a lot of lifesaving money as we speak, and they will eventually have to restart the economy,” says Yves Provencher, director of business development at Lion Electric. He was sharing his own thoughts, not necessarily those of the company. “I think that the expression ‘balanced budget’ will disappear for quite a few years, but money will flow to job creation like crazy when this is over. I’m are very confident that major government economic investments will go toward the ‘new economy’ with electric vehicles in the mix.”
Funding of incentive programs in states like California that have defined programs and target dates for zero-emission transport will probably not be negatively impacted by money going to Covid-19 relief measures, says Rick Mihelic, director of future technologies at the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE).
“More than likely, it may accelerate some planning on where and how to spend for zero emission progress, especially those economically distressed areas that are already identified as areas for more investment in zero emission improvements,” he says. “The immediate impact of Covid-19 on battery electric vehicle adoption in California is some delays in hardware deliveries and construction projects due to supply chain closures and social distancing directives. Those delays may last a few weeks or months, but things will return to normal soon enough.”
Mihelic wondered what would happen to the electric vehicle incentive programs when California electric utility PG&E declared bankruptcy. “That was long before Covid-19, but the answer I got back then was that none of the state or local programs would be impacted by the bankruptcy,” he says.
He doesn’t expect things to be any different in California now under the current economic crisis, but the picture at the federal level is less clear.
“Properly crafted stimulus funding now or low interest rates brought about by pumping $2 trillion-plus into the economy may expedite investment in infrastructure by utilities, shippers, fleets and OEMs, but there’s nothing on paper yet,” he said.
He pointed to the massive impact the infusion of billions of dollars of Volkswagen’s diesel-gate money had on accelerating electric vehicle infrastructure investment and industry focus on vehicle development. And to the wins that came from job incentive programs such as the 2009 Department of Energy SuperTruck program, born out of the “Great Recession.”
“That proved hugely beneficial to OEMs and fleets in getting significantly better aerodynamics and fuel economy into current diesel trucks,” he says. “Similar wise use of stimulus funding might reap acceleration in cost reduction of production components of [commercial battery-electric vehicles] like batteries and motors.”
Canada, for the most part, has lagged behind the U.S. in funding and incentives for electric vehicles, especially commercial vehicles, but Provencher hopes that will change in the post-Covid-19 days.
“Some governments were reluctant, in the pre-coronavirus era, to spend lots of money on Climate Change and GHG-reduction initiatives, but they should consider that if they are going to spend a lot of money to restart the economy, why not invest it where you can kill two birds with one stone? Save the planet and create more sustainable jobs.”

“Blue Grandma” (because she had a powder blue pickup truck) read to my brother and I all the time. She was cuddly and had a soft, gentle, crackly reading voice, the perfect voice for a bedtime story. We wanted her to read to us ALL the time (my other grandma wasn’t cuddly like this; I don’t ever remember her reading to us; but she taught us how to play cards, which was just as important). She read us three books we requested over and over again: The Poky Little Puppy, Peter Rabbit, and Noah’s Ark.
My brother, I think, especially loved Noah’s Ark (I was more of a Poky Little Puppy fan, I think). But we both thought it was hilarious. There were several scenes we particularly loved in the book.
“Two little gray squirrels.” My brother and I would watch the squirrels at grandma’s feeder all the time: one was named Monkey (my brother’s) and the other was named Charlie (mine). These were lithe little red squirrels, not big fat gray squirrels. But that little fact didn’t matter when reading this book with Grandma: those two squirrels in the illustrations were Monkey and Charlie.
“Leaping high, having heard the news / Over the hill came the Kangaroos.” For some reason, this scene made my brother and me giggle. I think it’s because the rhythm is perfect; there is a bounding quality to these lines, just like kangaroos bouncing over the hills. The rhythm is different from teh other stanzas in the book, unexpectedly bouncy and rhythmic. To me, at least, this one of those perfect lines in literature, and probably subtly has influenced my appreciation of various kinds of art ever since.
“Huffing and puffing... and terribly late.” I can remember liking the page about the hippos too; it’s toward the end of the book, they are the last animals to arrive, and something about their faces and the stanza just was comforting and sweet.
I truly treasure my worn, beat up copy.

Rdio users can now ditch the desktop entirely, thanks to an update which brings playlist editing and reviews to the iOS version of the app. No more booting up that dusty old Mac just to remove an accidentally-added song from your “awesomest songs evah” list.
Disclosure: I frikkin love Rdio. The Lady uses Spotify, but I switched maybe six months back because I prefer the collection metaphor, whereas Spotify forces you to make playlists for everything, and because the selection is better for my tastes: Rdio has more compilations and mix albums, whereas Spotify excels in dad-rock.
The newest update, which will likely already be on your iOS 7 device as you read this, lets you edit playlists on the go. You could always add new tracks and create new lists, but now you can remove tracks and switch things around.
Add, remove and rearrange tracks; add and edit playlist artwork; change visibility and collaboration settings and more.
And you can also view the “reviews,” Rdio’s snippets of info about music and bands, which I like quite a lot as a way to find new music on the desktop version of the app.
Write album and playlist reviews right from the app, and read reviews by critics and other Rdio listeners.
Excellent additions I think you’ll agree, and available right now.

A friend is one who know your past and still accepts you for who you are. One knows your favorite song and can sing it back to you when you forget the lyrics. Someone who can tell you what you’re feeling even when you can’t put the words together. Now who better than your partner to be your best friend. When you make him or her your friend then conversation becomes easier cause then you’re able to talk about even the most weirdest of stuffs. You share things with your partner things you even tell anyone. Friendship brings trust and trust is relationship but friendship keeps that relationship. When she knows you as her best friend then she always want to be around you always want to have those interesting conversations. Most guys are like ‘if I tell her everything I become predictable’ but if you don’t tell her everything then it means you don’t want to be in that relationship. You becoming predictable doesn’t mean you’re weak it means someone knows who you really are. A true friend is always there for you. When you make your partner your friend you simply just have to care and be there when you’re needed. They say the way to a man’s heart is his stomach but a way to a woman’s heart is simply for you to care and that’s what a friend does. Love is the bond but friendship creates that bond. Love brings two hearts together friendship keeps those hearts.
Sometimes we’ve also gotta make sacrifices in relationships. People say sacrifices are difficult to make and they are like ‘why would I sacrifice my whole for one person?’ and Danny is like you’re not sacrificing your whole life for one person but living your whole life for that person. In friendships you sacrifice but in relationships you sacrifice even more. Now to be logical here, how can you love someone who is not a friend? So it’s a two way thing. If I must love her then I must be ready to make her my best friend. For some people their partner becomes their friend only when they want sex which I find really selfish. This happens mostly with the guys. When men want sex they become exactly what a woman wants them to be. It’s really not supposed to be that way rather it should be something you do all the time to a point where it becomes a habit. Relationship may last but friendship last longer so why not have a blend of both today. The question is, is your partner your best friend?
This is Danny world…

How does it all fit together? Why are we on the web AND on a collection of social media sites? Each part synergistically fits together to help us communicate to other real estate investors using Facebook, Meetup, and the website?
It all started with a Facebook group for real estate investors in Connecticut. The idea was a resource for Connecticut real estate investors to communicate on a daily basis. Yes, there are organizations that meet once a month, and they have their place. Yes, many of us have coaches we meet with either in person, or by phone on a weekly or month basis. Yes, there seem to be more of those monthly meeting groups every week, but questions about real estate investment comes up every day.
Next, our own Meetup group, CT RE Investors. It has grown to close to 600 members. We started with 2 conference call Meetups a month, and and an interview format with local investors and companies that support investors. By the way, we are always looking for people to speak! What is your unique selling proposition? Between Facebook, Meetup, this website, and other social sites, speakers will likely get thousands of impressions.
Now this website, CT Real Estate Investors. A place to put recordings (and soon video) of previous conference call Meetups, and maybe a place to help your website SEO, and to grow your social media sites. The site offers an opportunity to promote your business and yourself.

Interview with Motivational Speaker and Prosperneur™, Chris Salem. Chris will tell us how mindfulness will get us better focused so we can close more deals!
RSVP If you have rental properties, or plan to, you need to hear about the new landlord-tenant laws that took effect on October 1, 2017. Some of them are minor, but if you don’t know one of them it could be a felony with criminal penalties!
If you own rental property, sooner or later you are going to need to evict someone. Eviction law varies greatly
If you are an investor or a real estate agent, you probably run across houses that are worth less than the value of their mortgage. Sean “The Short Sale King” Wilder explains the solution: A “short sale”.
Jonathan Makovsky and Travis Preziosi host a real estate investor Meetup the third Wednesday each month at 7PM (except November and December) at Crave, 52 Sanford St, Fairfield, Connecticut 06824.

Social engineering in MMORPGs
Imagine a tiny change to the code of World of Warcraft: When in a group, players would get twice as many xp per kill as they get now. That tiny addition of "x2" to the code would completely change the face of WoW. It would suddenly be far more advantageous to level up while grouping, instead of soloing. The forums would explode with some people calling this "forced grouping", some people would continue to solo, but a large number of players would simply adapt to the new situation and group a lot more on the way to the level cap. The dungeon finder would get used more, because, hey, if you already group, you might as well tackle the content with the good reward. But even when just questing and killing 10 foozles, you'd throw an invite to the other guy you come across killing the same foozles.
Chris Smith from Levelcapped this week responded to Syp's question of "If we are lazy and resistant to being social in MMOs (the path of least effort, etc.), is it the game’s/devs’ responsibility to encourage — or even force — us to do so?", by wishing for an Unsocial MMO. That resulted in an intense debate with Spinks on Google Buzz, who wants developers to encourage people to make friends.
Although some people tend to respond to this sort of question with polemic, like "if you don't want to play with others, play a single-player game", the problem is actually deeper than many people imagine. There is a sharp disconnect between short-term and long-term motivation to play MMORPGs. While in the short term players tend to react strongly to rewards, many surveys have proven that social connections are one of the major reasons for long-term motivation. The question of "should a game encourage/force people to be social" thus isn't just a philosophical question, but also fundamental to the perenity of a game.
After 6 years of World of Warcraft, the activities that occupy the player's minds are mostly social. There is far more discussion about raids and pickup groups than about solo gameplay. Solo gameplay is considered "not important", and dismissed as the tedious obstacle you have to play through with new characters before you can get to "the real game", which is social.
But while you might keep playing because of your friends, and your best memories of the game are about moments shared with other people, your worst memories probably also involve human interaction. Obviously the biggest idiots and jerks you meet in the game make for the best stories afterwards, thus what one reads isn't necessarily representative of the average pickup group. But grouping with complete strangers admittedly has its pitfalls; and a combination of the "barrier to entry" of forming a group in the first place, and the risk of that group failing to reach its objectives, makes grouping often less attractive than soloing, especially for short play sessions.
Using rewards in a clever way can overcome these obstacles. As I repeatedly wrote on this blog, World of Warcraft is failing to do so for groups outside dungeons, which explains why leveling has been nearly synonymous with soloing before the dungeon finder lowered the barrier to entry into high-reward group content during leveling. Many quests get actually *harder* to do when you group up for them, and the xp per hour in a group is lower than soloing the same content. Furthermore most leveling content is easy enough to be soloed. While changing the rewards could turn leveling in WoW into a more social affair, some players resent such social engineering. The term "forced grouping" is often applied for situations where in fact nobody is forced to group, but grouping is just the more efficient way to gain rewards.
Blizzard is currently introducing a system of rewards that encourages players to guild, by handing out guild rewards. It isn't quite clear yet whether that will work in a positive way, we will have to watch the system in action. There is a certain fear that the system inadvertedly favors huge guilds over smaller ones, which might actually end up counterproductively destroying social interaction, and lead people into huge, impersonal guilds instead. On the other hand the reputation you gain for your guild should prevent some of the worst excesses of guild hopping.
In summary I think it is a good idea for developers to use rewards for social engineering players into groups and guilds, because this can improve the long-term stability of the game. But as social engineering is difficult, care has to be taken not to inadvertedly do more harm than good. It is okay to offer better rewards for players to play together, but not to a point where solo players would feel punished, or where impersonal mega-guilds have huge advantages over closer knit small guilds.

We all recognize that mobile devices and their usage has exploded in the past several years, but how has mobile been adopted in the healthcare industry? The reality is that people are using their mobile devices for health-related purposes more than you’d expect. In fact, 52% of those with smartphones search for health-related information on their phones, whether it’s searching for nutrition information, symptoms they are experiencing, or a nearby clinic.
Consumers have started to develop the expectation that everything can be mobile, so to maintain relevance with patients, the healthcare industry needs to build and use more mobile-friendly processes and products.
Here are four great examples of how mobile is currently being used in the industry.
Current Mobile Tech Trends
Telemedicine is essentially the act of using video conferences for appointments rather than in-person appointments. There are several reasons that healthcare facilities are starting to implement this strategy. It works to cut real estate costs and improve patient accessibility and convenience. This is especially useful for patients who have limited access to hospitals and clinics because they live farther away or have trouble with mobility due to age or disabilities. Telemedicine may never fully replace inpatient care, but it is an innovative method of improving access to healthcare facilities.
2. Patient-Facing Mobile Apps
There are tons of patient-facing mobile apps today that make managing clinic appointments and other health-related tasks easy for the patient. Many clinics and healthcare providers have their own apps available with the ability to schedule appointments, refill prescriptions, view test results, and even locate nearby clinics and hospitals (in case of travel or relocation). Mobile has become an expectation by consumers in general, so if you haven’t started to develop your own app for your patients, you may want to start looking!
However, these are not the only mobile apps that patients are using; there are a variety of other health-related apps designed to help patients learn more about managing their health and well-being.
3. mHealth Devices
Many people might think of mHealth devices like the wearable technology that consumers have come to know. Of course, these devices are included in the mHealth realm, but there are so many more incredible devices out there including mini gamma-ray cameras, ingestible sensors, and more. All of these devices are working to bring better data management, more accurate decisions and diagnoses, and better accessibility to the healthcare industry through mobile and personalized care.
4. Mobile EHR
Another mobile tool that is rapidly gaining speed is the use of mobile EHR: a mobile app that integrates with your existing EHR system to make sure your operations are as efficient and effective as possible. It centers on using technology to enhance current workflows and improve communication. However, its future may begin to shift by expanding its focus to include assisting patients in receiving care remotely.
More on Mobile EHR
How it Works
Using mobile EHR doesn’t mean you are replacing your existing EHR system, but instead, you are redefining the way that physicians at your healthcare facility interact with patients and medical records. As a mobile app that integrates with your current EHR system, it allows you to streamline your documentation process, use voice technology to record patient information, and instantly retrieve EHR data for patient appointments. All of these features help to increase focus on the patient and reduce administrative burden by decreasing the time spent on administrative tasks.
Patients and physicians are not the only ones who benefit from mobile EHR. Providers, administrators, IT personnel, financial officers, and patients all benefit from its use. One of the greatest benefits that you’ll see, however, is the ability to better focus on your patients.
Some physicians struggle to focus on the patient rather than on the computer and spend extended periods of time transcribing notes from audio recorders after work. Inefficient workflows also impact the level of engagement and satisfaction that the patient experiences. With mobile EHR, physicians connect directly to the EHR system from a smartphone or other mobile device. With streamlined processes and more face-to-face interaction, better connections and relationships are built between patient and physician.
Another major benefit is the saving of time and money. Physician burnout is an all-too-common occurrence from the accumulation of administrative tasks that physicians must complete after appointments. With mobile EHR, physicians are able to complete documentation about 33% faster and can expect to see savings of $6000 in just one week.
The use of mobile EHR is filled with benefits. Learn more about how mobile is shaping the healthcare industry and where untapped potential exists by downloading iScribe’s eBook: The Ultimate Guide to Mobile in Healthcare.

LJ 2008-10-13 13:17:00
Looking through my list of gigs, I’m slightly annoyed that some of them passed without mention in my journal. It’s not to say that my journal should be an exhaustive list of everything I’ve ever done, but still, I think I would prefer to have written about some of those things. There are things that I’ve put off writing about until I can get a good run-up (Barbados being one of them), and then there are those things that I’ve put off and will now never be able to write about (like Joseph Arthur in Cardiff – interesting gig, not very true to the album versions of anything, bit of a disappointment).
So with that in mind, probably an idea to write about Elbow.. Recent winners of the Mercury Prize, they seemed in good spirits, perhaps bordering on smugness, though it’s hard to blame them – they’re more worthy winners than most years, which is reason enough in itself to celebrate. We saw them on the first of three consecutive nights at the Roundhouse, with ours being a date that sold out before they won the award, and the subsequent nights filling up afterwards, which I would say draws a clear line in the sand – our night was for fans, the other nights were for the followers of fads. Oh, the musical snobbery…
I won’t bored you with such wankiness as:
The soundscapes they paint, the peaks they reach and depths they plunge you to are just as breathtaking across their previous three albums as they are on the Mercury winner.
What does that mean in terms of music? The night wasn’t about being carried on some sort of mystical rollercoaster, it was about seeing a band play their music, and they did so flawlessly. I’m always surprised at just how good the vocals are on their live material. It probably helps that of the last five other acts I’ve seen live in the last year or so, four of them have been on revival tour type things (OMD, Erasure, Sting, James). It’s only natural that the quality of the voices would have diminished. Elbow, on the other hand, are in their prime right now, and that comes across best live.
They played a fairly similar set to the one we saw in Bristol earlier this year, which to be honest is enough to put me off going to another of their gigs until they’ve produced some new material. Still, there was enough variation to make it interesting, and keep it from being too predictable. There was a lot of material off their new album, played with no less skill than they do in the studio, but with plenty more impact. The guitars especially in songs like Grounds for Divorce were excellent in their, uh, “rockiness”, and the audience participation in One Day Like This is always nice and atmospheric..
Oh, and I’ve now actually seen a Mercury Award, albeit from a distance, which was quite the novelty :o)
Overall, there was a fantastic atmosphere.. My only real complaint is that Elbow’s style, while consistent with itself, is not really consistent across genres. There are songs to dance to, songs to sway to, songs to sing along to, but the gig itself doesn’t come across as being definitively one genre. Now that’s not a problem exactly, except that it’s hard to get into a specific mindset. Perhaps that’s more my failing than theirs though..
There were a couple of glaring omissions from the set list (specifically Grace Under Pressure and Forget Myself), but those can be forgiven. I was more familiar with their other material this time than last time, so I was able to get into more of the older songs than previously, which makes up for it.
Overall, it was a fantastic gig, at a fantastic venue. At the end of the show, a bunch of streamers went off and a bundle of balloons was released from the ceiling, which just added to the celebratory party atmosphere that had been present throughout, and just topped off the evening perfectly.
So I think, in summary, that this was a very good gig indeed :o)

Today’s children learn how to use smartphones and similar devices almost as soon as they can talk, so it was no surprise that students became the teachers last Friday when the Council on Aging hosted an interactive discussion for seniors about some of the features of iPhones, iPads and tablets.
The discussion was part of a series whose topics have included Google/Internet browsing, Facebook, the App Store (downloading and exploring third-party apps) and extra features of the iPhone (alarm, stocks, weather, airplane mode, flashlight, calculator, and so on).
“I have some GPS interest today,” said Wellesley High School senior, Key Club member and COA volunteer Matthew Keep.
Keep, who has been offering technology help at the COA since the first of the year, said the idea to offer workshops for seniors came about after the holidays – a time when they might have received gifts of devices, but had no idea how to set them up or use them.
On Friday, fellow WHS senior Keenan Ashbrook, who was volunteering his time that day helping to clean out a closet at the COA, dropped in to help out with the class. He had also helped with classes last spring.
“I got this for Christmas,” Helen Turner of Wellesley, one of nine attendees, said about her Samsung Galaxy tablet. She said she gets her email on her device and said every once in a while “something pops up.” Turner said she came prepared to take notes.
Pam Bachrach, also of Wellesley, brought her iPhone 5 with her. After she dropped her flip phone she said, “I was forced to upgrade. I figured it was time; I better go for newer technology.” Bachrach said that she does a lot of texting on her phone, uses it for email and enjoys using the pedometer feature. “I can get weather, music; I want to learn to use the GPS.”
Keep had the class connect to Wi-Fi and started explaining how to use GPS. He showed them how to walk or drive to Comella’s, a nearby restaurant, using the GPS app on their devices.
Equally important, he said, was for the class to learn how to get out of that location by tapping the bar at the top of the field to take them back to their current location of 219 Washington St. Keep also instructed the class to hit the home button if they wanted to get out of GPS completely.
While Keep was speaking and demonstrating Ashbrook walked around the room to offer one-on-one help where needed. There was also a lot of interaction among the participants.
Keep and Ashbrook displayed knowledge, self-confidence and patience, and had a great rapport with their students. One of the participants commented, “they’re like your grandchildren,” referring to Keep and Ashbrook.
During the session there were watershed moments when it became clear that participants “got it.”
Keep even showed the class how to check on traffic conditions. “You don’t want to be on 93 South right now,” said Ashbrook.
Keep also showed the class some fun things,” such as how to view the World Trade Center in New York City in 3D.
“I pop in once in a while,” said Barbara Pyles of Wellesley. “I feel very connected to the senior center,” she said, adding that she is deeply concerned about the slow progress in getting a new stand-alone senior center because she feels that they could “offer so much more like this if they had the time, space and place.”
Pyles said she sees the connection and linking of the generations in offerings such as the technology class. “I think this is the gift of the senior center,” she said.
After a session on GPS Keep had the class move on to using the calendar. He explained that the iPad display could be different from that on the iPhone. On the wall he displayed his personal calendar on his iPhone, with the COA class marked on it.
When he approached one participant and looked at her iPad he said, “You’re an advanced calendar user.”
Wellesley resident Mary Bowers, who arrived slightly early for lunch, stopped in to the class to observe, but said she had previously attended. “I wanted him [Keep] to show me how to tag pictures to Facebook,” she said.
It was clear that Keep and Ashbrook enjoyed the day’s session. “I volunteer here on a regular basis,” Ashbrook, who calls himself more of an Android expert, said.
Keep said there are some great attendees who are invested in learning how to use their devices. “I enjoy this a lot.”

Children can experience emotional duress and difficulty with adjustments in multiple areas of their lives when their parents divorce. Most Nebraska parents strive to protect the best interests of their kids to the best of their ability, often through a custody and visitation plan that allows the child to have access to both parents and relative continuity of lifestyle. However, there are situations in which the actions of a parent can negatively impact a child.
A divorce is a highly stressful process, and it can be difficult for parents to navigate the strong emotions they are experiencing during this time. These emotions may drive a parent to act in a negative manner, impacting the children and causing discord in the family. This behavior is known as malicious parent syndrome, and if the other parent is acting in this way, you can take action that would protect your children.
Recognizing malicious parent syndrome
You may not be sure that what you are experiencing counts as malicious parent syndrome. While it is normal to have a period of adjustment and difficult emotions, any of the following behaviors could indicate that your child’s other parent is acting in an inappropriate manner:
- The other parent is acting in certain ways in order to punish you by alienating the children and refusing to allow you to have rightful access to your kids.
- The other parent has involved others in his or her effort to keep you from your children.
- The other parent is refusing to allow you to have your visitation time or is refusing to allow you access to important events for your children.
- The other parent lies to the children about you and tries to sabotage your relationship with them.
The explanation for these behaviors may be malicious parent syndrome if there are no mental issues that could explain the parent’s actions. If you believe you are experiencing a violation of your parental rights, you do not have to remain silent.
What are your options?
You have certain parental rights, and you have the right to fight for the relationship you have with your kids. Malicious parent syndrome is unacceptable, and it can have a negative impact on the mental and emotional health of your kids. If you are experiencing this, you may benefit from seeking an explanation of the specific legal steps you can take to find a beneficial resolution.


published a study which reached a similar conclusion (Barr and Pingry, 1977). They found thatCAP construction and repayment costs would be higher than originally predicted, the variablecosts of CAP water would be twice those of pumped groundwater, and the postage stamp pricingof CAP water would significantly increase the cost of the project. They predicted that taxpayersand urban water users would eventually end up paying the majority of the costs incurred to supplyirrigation water to farmers.In fact, by the late 1970s urban water agencies in Arizona were becoming seriouslyinterested in CAP water. The urban population was booming and several cities, especiallyTucson, depended on diminishing groundwater supplies; moreover, as the water table fell, thewater quality declined. The urban water agencies also took the restrictions embodied in the 1980Groundwater Management Act more to heart than the farmers. Consequently, when the CAPallocations were announced in 1980, urban water agencies were allocated a firm supply of 640,000 acre-feet of CAP water, more than half of the state’s unused, non-Indian allotment of about 1.2 million acre-feet of Colorado River water.
Agricultural users were assigned theremaining 550,00 acre feet, but with a priority below that of urban users. To market CAP water tothe non-Indian users, the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) was formed – CAWCD would buy CAP water from the Bureau of Reclamation and re-sell it to individualagricultural and urban water agencies within the three counties that formed the main CAP servicearea. Through CAWCD, agricultural and urban users would be required to repay the federalgovernment $2.1 billion of the nearly $5 billion cost of CAP; the rest would be covered byhydropower users and federal taxpayers.In 1984, as the aqueduct began to approach the first irrigation service area, the Bureauand CAWCD announced prices for CAP water. All users would pay for operations andmaintenance (O&M) costs based on the current actual cost to the Bureau in each year, but theconstruction costs would be allocated differentially; the capital cost for agricultural users was setat $2 per acre foot, while that for urban users was set at $44 per acre foot. Allowing for O&Mcosts, the Bureau estimated that the canal-side delivery cost would be $58 per acre foot for irrigation districts and about $100 per acre foot for urban agencies.In March 1984, an initial contracting period of six months was set for agriculturaldistricts to sign contracts with CAWCD. By the end of that period, nine of 23 potential irrigationusers had signed long-term contracts with CAWCD amounting to 71% of the quantity allocatedfor agricultural use. While this left 29% of the agricultural allotment unclaimed, some economistswere in fact surprised that so many irrigation districts had committed to purchase CAP water.Allowing for efficiency losses of 5-10% in transporting the water from the CAP aqueduct throughlocal distribution networks to the individual farm headgate, the effective marginal cost of CAPwater at the headgate would come to about $65 per acre foot (Martin, 1988). In addition, in somedistricts farmers would have to pay for the construction of new within-district distributionsystems; these cost as much as $100 million in some districts. Moreover, farmers already hadsunk capital in the form of groundwater wells and pumps, and their marginal cost of pumpedgroundwater was about $30-50 per acre foot, depending on the pumping depth – much lower than the marginal cost of CAP water.
The federal government allocated 310,000 acre feet of CAP water to Indian reservations in Arizona with priority over all urban and agricultural deliveries.
An analysis by Bush and Martin (1986) found that, while there were some agricultural areas where CAPwater would be competitive with groundwater, these were only a small minority of the CAWCD servicearea. Moreover, CAP water was competitive in these areas only because it had access to cheaper energythan that available for most groundwater pumping. The Navajo Power Station, the exclusive source of energy for CAP, provided electricity at a price of about 20 mills per kilowatt hour, while most farmers inthe CAWCD service area paid between 25 and 75 mills per kilowatt hour for electricity to pumpgroundwater (Martin, 1988).
