Let’s not mince words: current federal ocean conservation policy is a cocktail of chaos and disaster, with a generous sprinkle of incompetence. Following a brutal stretch of legislative and regulatory rollbacks (including the completely indefensible bureaucratic magic trick of removing habitat...

One of the things I am most loving mucking around with in my play scripts is time--the movement backward and forward. GRAVEYARDS OF CHICAGO takes place in two timelines, one of which changes mid-scene through cues like music, lights, and actor posture. THE YELLOW WALLPAPER drifts back and forth...

– I first met Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen at a publishing dinner hosted by Macmillan at an ALA conference in Chicago. This must have been about 10 years ago. Since that time, we’ve kept in touch and, yes, mostly commiserated with each about publishing in general and the world at large. We’ve tried to...

Optimal instructions scheduling is NP-hard task. For this reason almost all compilers implement metaheuristic methods like list scheduling/Gibbons–Muchnick algorithm etc. ptxas is no exception - it also generates non-optimal scheduling, and this opens some opportunity for automatic optimization....

With Advanced Witches & Warlocks, I have had in mind a certain goal: to give the witch traditions the weight of actual occult practice. I do not want it to be a matter of "this witch has fire, that one has healing." There is more to it than that; it is about how one comes to terms with magic...

The private equity markets have been a darling for many pensions and endowments because of their strong long-term returns. Of course, investors should expect a premium over public markets because money is locked up for a long period of time. The problem is that many funds are nearing the end of...

The Economist wrote this in 2014: “Japan has about 500,000 non-naturalised Koreans, some of whom have come in the past couple of decades but many of whose families were part of a diaspora that arrived during Japan’s imperial era in the first half of the 20th century. They have long been targets of...

Hiya! Who would’ve thought a movie about a very old story would be box office gold? As of right now, Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey is raking in the cash, with the film earning roughly $260 million worldwide, which is around its budget. So, it’s already breaking even. However, I do believe...
