AdNauseam - Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To  

As online advertising is becoming more automatic, universal and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating all ad-clicks universally and blindly on behalf of the target audience. Working in coordination with Ad Block Plus, AdNauseam quietly clicks every blocked ad, registering a visit on the ad networks databases. As the data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user profiling, targeting and surveillance becomes futile.

This (above) is larb. Larb is actually a Laotian dish of minced meat, fish sauce, lime juice, roasted ground rice, and lots of sweet raw onions. It was delicious here. The dish has a great combo of sweetness from the fish sauce and onions, acidity from the lime, and spice from the… spice. The roasted rice was delicious and added a great crunch.

By sources reliably informed I'm told that Warren Buffett, 84, and Rupert Murdoch, 83, never quit asking questions."

Understanding Chinese cash flow statements | China Accounting Blog | Paul Gillis  

There is a big differ-ence in the cash flow statements under the two standards. IFRS (and US GAAP) permit use of either the direct or indirect method for the cash flow statement, but most companies, including Tianhe, elect to use the indirect method. In the US, a 2007 study of 600 listed companies found 594 used the indirect method. CAS, however, requires that the cash flow statement be prepared using the dir-ect method, and following the belt and suspenders approach of Chinese financial reporting, CAS requires disclosure of the indirect method in the footnotes. So investors get it both ways, a modest plus for CAS.

HotLists: 

Next on the list is a new Hot-List Viewer Application. The Hot-List Viewer is one of the most popular apps that ships with NxCore. Hunsander wraps a lot of power into this application (having also written the Hot-List Viewer in QCharts in the Quote.com continuum API days, he is infinitely familiar with what users want in a Hot List app). To top it off this new Hot-List Viewer is even more powerful than the integrated Hot-List found in the APIViewer! Hunsader brings you more functionality, more GUI options, more fields and much, much more. Contained in one source file, you will be well served to do a full examination of this code as it is difficult to believe this much functionality comes with this small a footprint. So, want to tweak the Hot-Lists to your liking? Now's your chance!

Movies Watched -- Under the Skin

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Weird one ... sort of a sci fi horror film ... the more I think about it the more I liked it, so it gets a recommended rating, but it's not easy to watch ... or listen to, the soundtrack is intentionally disturbing.  Scarlett plays a good alien with her blank look, sort of like Arnold being ideal for playing the Terminator. Spoiler: My theory is she was persona non grata once she brought back the Elephant Man, whom the Borg rejected ... once on the run, she was just bewildered and dying. She didn't have long to live, the torch just sped things up.  Glazer made Sexy Beast, which was one of my favorite movies in whatever year it came out, can't remember.
