Thanks to the friendly folks at Charlotte’s Arts & Science council, I learned about some recent initiatives worth sharing:

The topic for the Institute of Emerging Issues‘ conference up in Raleigh this year is “Creativity, inc.” and among their keynote speakers is one of my favorite authors, Dan Pink, who wrote A Whole New Mind, which describes a future designed by left+right thinkers.

The forum is February 8-9, 2010 and you can register here starting Dec. 1.  (Incidentally, to encourage attendance from the Charlotte area,the ASC is offering partial scholarships to the first 20 that send them registration confirmation.)

Also, the North Carolina Arts Council released their report Creativity Means Business back in June.  They claim that the value of the creative sector in the state is over $40 billion and makes up just under 6% of the workforce.  Why is this important?  The study suggests that regions with a high proportion of creative workers attract more visitors and new residents, which in turn means more money.

Call them stillborn precursors to the Panamera. We say it’s proof that four-door/four-seater Porsches and the like were always destined to be sort of ugly.

From top (we think): Porsche 911 B17, Porsche 911 C20, Porsche 942 (aka 928-4, 928S), Porsche 989.

A short, yet utterly sweet, downtempo Dubstep set by a producer I was previously unfamiliar with. Dropped a random download on this set and was happily surprised with what I heard. Lush, melodic and cruisy bass heavy beats – a strange combination for those used to hearing the harder side of Dubstep, this is bound to gain appreciation from not just Dubstep fans, but from lovers of all EDM.

Do yourselves a favour and give it a listen. It’s short, unobtrusive, and great for the summer weather.

Watching Sabrina with Joia.  She loves this show.  I’m taking her to school this morning so we’re embarking on our morning ritual.  I don’t even think I loved the show as much as she loves it when I was younger.  She likes the talking cat.

I had an extremely productive day yesterday.  It felt good.  I will keep this up.

Tunes:
Smooth – Jealous Eyes (Utah Jazz Remix)

Bal – Les Levres En Feu (track is in player)
Loves it!  I am quite the Bal fan.

Goldie & Rob Playford feat. Diane Charlemagne – Inner City Life – FFRR 1994
I woke up with this track on my mind.  It basically speaks for itself. <3

ASC has very kindly put together a superb autonomic-themed drum & bass mix. It’s an excellent selection of forthcoming tracks from the Exit / NonPlus+ stable and features music from the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:Mental, Consequence and ASC himself.

ASC’s next single, “Porcelain” is due imminantly on NonPlus+. In fact, promos have just appeared on Red Eye Records… Here’s the official statement from NonPlus+:

Instra:mental welcome a new addition to the Nonplus+ camp who goes by the name of ASC. This producer is by no means new to making music, but recently his productions have become an essential addition to dBridge & Instra:mental’s Autonomic podcast series and also frequents their club sets.

ASC ‘Porcelain’ is a perfect illustration as to why Instra:mental have been paying ASC’s music so much attention. It begins with a glitchy yet groove-laden beat coupled with dramatic piano and fx stabs, then fills out with a warm drawing sub bass and smooth atmospheres. As the track progresses and you think it’s reached its climax, ASC cleverly layers an almost oriental sounding percussion stab to accompany the bass line and picks up the track to another level. This track is a prime example of being able to express the utmost with the minimum.

ASC ‘Focus Inwards’ is the deeper side of this 12” and as the title suggests, takes you on a journey into yourself. Fully charged with progressive chords and melodies alongside electric sounding drum fills and percussion, the arrangement, musical content and pure elegance of this track give us an insight into ASC’s compositional abilities and potential for the future.

Here is the tracklisting for the mix itself:

1. dBridge – City Of Lonely Runaways [EXIT]
2. ASC – Porcelain [NON PLUS+]
3. Instra:Mental – No Future (ASC Remix) [NON PLUS+]
4. Plus Ultra – ? [NON PLUS+/EXIT]
5. Consequence – Rollin Supreme [N/A]
6. Consequence & Instra:Mental – Reflex Reaction [EXIT]
7. ASC – Untitled – Dub
8. Resound – Untitled – Dub
9. ASC – Untitled – Dub
10. ASC – Untitled – [NON PLUS+]
11. Black Pocket – U’re A Star (dBridge Remix) [EXIT]
12. Unknown – Dub
13. Consequence – Fog [EXIT]
14. Unknown – Dub

Tratto da Cubia n° 26 – Novembre 2002

L’evoluzione del settore dei servizi (gas, energia elettrica, ciclo idrico, servizi ambientali) ha aumentato la valenza strategica di operazioni di aggregazioni tra gli operatori nel settore. In questo contesto è nata una nuova creatura, denominata HERA. L’acrostico HERA sta per Holding Energia Risorse Ambiente, e si richiama alla mitologica Era, moglie di Zeus e dea della fertilità.
Tecnicamente, 10 società della Romagna hanno scorporato la gestione dei loro servizi a beneficio di SEABO, ottenendo in cambio quote azionarie; al termine dell’operazione sarà operativa la nuova Holding. Da quel momento HERA si muoverà con cinque società territoriali (una per provincia, Rimini compresa), che avranno compiti operativi specifici. Nella holding, i vecchi soci di SEABO avranno circa il 51% quelli delle aziende romagnole (riunite sotto il nome di Perimetro) il 49% circa.
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione sarà composta da 10 membri: 5 espressi da Bologna (compreso l’Amministratore Delegato), 5 dalla Romagna (compreso il presidente).
Le Società interessate sono: SEABO di Bologna, AMF di Faenza, AMI di Imola, AMIA di Rimini, AMIR di Rimini, SIS di S. Giovanni in M., AREA di Ravenna, ASC di Cesenatico, UNICA di Forlì-Cesena, TEAM di Lugo di Romagna e GEAT di Riccione.

di Mario Masi

Don’t fear, ASC, a government owned company involved with the Collins submarine debacle is a big player in Australia’s Air Warfare Destroyer project.

”But the ASC is not well run.”

Of interest too is that the head of the DMO, Mr. Gumley is ASC alumnus.

.

Let’s talk about supermarkets. They provide many goods in one convenient location. One UK supermarket, Morrisons, has a distribution centre which now has some fancy tracking CCTV from Intrepid Security. It seems to be the correct amount of security for the job it is required to do, which is good.

Now, let’s talk about buildings that are near the Old Bailey, the UK’s Central Criminal Court. How about 20 Old Bailey, which has some new surveillance bits and bobs from Avigilon? Interesting fact: the Old Bailey is named after Trevor Andrews Bailey, the most illegal person ever recorded.

Other pieces of news excitement abound. Here’s some: Octavian is securing some roads; the security plan for next year’s Delhi Commonwealth Games has been unveiled; and the ASC has organised a membership deal with the London Chamber of Commerce. That’s nice!

This is the point in the missive where I mention that the Security Excellence Awards are happening tomorrow night and I’m doing a live Twitter thing so you should follow me etc etc it will be as exciting as that sort of thing can be. Superlative!

Few musical acts can lay claim to such dynamic evolution as Blu Mar Ten. Formed in the big-bang of 90’s drum & bass, their superior genes saw them grow and mutate beyond the confines of the jungle into lush experimentation with downtempo, ambient, house, techno & left-field.

Returning to their ancestral roots, ‘Natural History’ is the long-awaited first full drum & bass album from Blu Mar Ten leaving you in no doubt about their position at the cutting edge of the genre. From the storming remix of vocal opener ‘Starting Over’, through the deeply abstract ‘Grey Area’, to the VIP rework of massive club hit ‘Close’ and the epic ‘Last Dance’, ‘Natural History’ showcases the trio’s ability to enrich and develop their DNA, resulting in an album full of surprising twists and turns that always carry the Blu Mar Ten stamp of quality.

DJ support for ‘Natural History’ has come from right across the d&b family tree, including:
Marky, London Elektricity, Doc Scott, Teebee, D Bridge, Hype, John B, Logistics, Ed Rush, Marcus Intalex, Utah Jazz, Makoto, Spectrasoul , Apex, SPY, Craggz, DKay, Seba, Loxy, Ink, Lynx, Instra:mental, John B, Randomer, Data, Ink, Nerm & D-Kode, Annie Nightingale, Crissy Criss, Mosus, Furney, SPY, A Sides, Tom Middleton, ASC, Kubiks, Lomax, Alleycat, Big Bud and many more….

Mafia Wars adalah salah satu game online dari Zynga. Semakin berkembangnya komunitas jejaring sosial seperti Facebook, penggemar game Mafia Wars ikut meningkat. Hal yang sangat menarik, permainan ini dilakukan oleh orang-orang dari berbagai belahan dunia dengan berbagai tingkat usia.

Pada dasarnya aktifitas game ini adalah Bekerja, mengumpulkan item loot, Bertarung serta menaikkan level dan kemampuan.  Seni mengatur berbagai hal tsb yang mengasyikkan dalam permainan ini.

Bekerja dapat dilakukan tergantung energi yang dimiliki. Item loot didapat secara acak ketika mengerjakan tugas tertentu, dari bonus  atau pemberian teman. Bisa juga melakukan pertukaran item yang kita butuhkan dengan teman mafia. Benda yang disepakati bisa berupa item loot juga atau benda lain seperti voucher handphone atau yg lainnya.

Bertarunglah yang paling mengasyikkan.  Kekalahan yang dialami ketika bertarung dengan seseorang,  apalagi jika terjadi berkali-kali sangat menyebalkan.  Walaupun kalah dalam pertarungan, kita tetap terus bisa bermain. Entah kenapa kekalahan sangat membuat penasaran.  Saya pernah membalas serangan lebih dari 50 kali dalam sehari,  selama empat hari berturut-turut. Karena orang tsb telah menyerang saya lebih dari 20 kali dalam sekali serangan.

Faktor penentu untuk memenangkan pertarungan adalah jumlah mafia, nilai attack, nilai defense, jumlah dan jenis item loot yang dimiliki.

Jumlah mafia yang akan terlibat dalam setiap pertarungan sesuai dengan teman mafia yang kita miliki. Semakin banyak teman mafia kita maka akan semakin besar kemungkinan untuk menang. Jumlah teman mafia maksimum adalah 501 termasuk kita sendiri.

Sangat banyak jenis item loot,  ada item berasal dari New York, Cuba, Moscow atau Promo.  Item dibagi menjadi 3 bagian untuk pertarungan, yaitu armor, vehicle dan weapon. Setiap anggota mafia hanya dapat menggunakan setiap jenis 1 item pada setiap pertempuran.

Sehingga jika kita memiliki 501 anggota mafia. Jumlah item yang harus kita miliki adalah 501 weapon, 501 vehicle dan 501 armor.  Kondisi seperti ini akan sulit dikalahkan.

Setiap item memiliki nilai attack dan defense berbeda-beda. Ada item dengan nilai attack atau defense yang tinggi demikian juga sebaliknya. Item yang menjadi pilihan adalah item loot terbaik. Sulitnya untuk mendapatkan item menyebabkan item menjadi barang buruan.

Item terbaik ketika menyerang :
* Weapon:      TNT (42 Attack 20 Defense)
* Defense:      Guerrilla Squad (34 Attack 30 Defense)
* Vehicle:       Hu-9 Helicopter (36 Attack 27 Defense)

Item terbaik ketika bertahan adalah:
* Weapon:      Gaff Hook (20 Attack, 30 Defense)
* Defense:      Guerrilla Squad (34 Attack 30 Defense)
* Vehicle:       Armored State Car ( 30 Attack 38 Defense)

Item-item di atas bisa saja berubah, tergantung dengan perubahan yang dilakukan oleh zynga.

Salam Mafia, selamat bertarung.

Klorsafe contains Acidified Sodium Chlorite (ASC) which is approved by the FDA (21 CFR 173.325) as a ‘secondary direct food additive permitted in food for human consumption’ specifically as an antimicrobial intervention treatment for poultry carcasses, poultry carcass parts, red meat carcasses, red meat parts and organs, seafood, and raw agricultural commodities.

ASC is often confused with chlorine dioxide (ClO2), also approved by the FDA (21 CFR 173.300) as a secondary direct food additive largely because solutions of ASC can, under certain conditions, generate small quantities of chlorine dioxide. However, by judicious selection of reaction parameters (nature and concentration of activating acid, chlorite concentration, catalysts, total titratable acidity) chlorine dioxide formation is typically minimized in true ASC solutions. ASC is a highly effective, broad spectrum antimicrobial, which is produced by lowering the pH of a solution of sodium chlorite into the 2.5 to 3.2 range with any GRAS acid.

ASC chemistry is principally that of chlorous acid (HClO2), which is the metastable oxychlorine species, which forms on acidification of chlorite. Once formed, chlorous acid gradually decomposes to form chlorate ion, chlorine dioxide, and chloride ion. It is hypothesized that the mode of action of ASC derives from the uncharged chlorous acid, which is able to penetrate bacterial cell walls and disrupt protein synthesis by virtue of its reaction with sulfhydryl, sulfide, and disulfide containing amino acids and nucleotides. The undissociated acid is thought to facilitate proton leakage into cells and thereby increase energy output of the cells to maintain their normal internal pH thereby also adversely affecting amino acid transport.
