I'll also point things out here, if I feel nessesary. Such as, and you guys need to know this, PsychoticChrono is my co-GM in this roleplay. We basically run the plot together, and on that note, he and I are the only ones who know the plot of this story and the antagonists.

We wonder, are you ready to join us now? Hands in the air, we will show you how Come and try, Caramell will be your guide. So come on move your hips. Singing woa-oa-oa. Look at YouTube clips do it oh-la-la. You and me, can sing this melody. Dance to the beat, wave your hands together. Come feel the heat, forever and forever. Listen and learn, it is time for prancing. Now we are here, we'e Caramell Dancing! From Sweden to UK, we will bring our song. Australia, USA, and people at Hong Kong.

On a side note; me and Psychotic's characters are allowed to be OP, each of us only have two of them but it's for the plot. We have to develop it and there has to be strong enemies. Which we made. Also, the antagonists are honestly and truely supposed to be hidden for the time being. You can probably tell Melancholy's one of my two antagonists, but I'm not giving out the other yet.

Kim Kardashian makes a splash at NYC bash

(AP) ? Kim Kardashian isn't worried about the behemoth storm expected to pummel the eastern U.S. with rain and wind this week.

Dressed as a blond mermaid for her Halloween party Saturday night in New York, the star joked that her boyfriend, Kanye West ? wearing a nautical-looking outfit ? could "sail" her to safety if need be.

West didn't talk to press covering the event but smiled and took photos of Kardashian on his phone.

It's the second year Kardashian has hosted the Midori Green Halloween party. She has an endorsement deal with the liquor company.

The reality star said it took two months to plan her costume, inspired by the 1984 film "Splash," and two hours to get ready.

Opel restructuring talks could last into 2013: union

HAMBURG (Reuters) - General Motors' loss-making unit Opel may need between two and three more months to reach a deal with German unions on a restructuring plan that could see thousands of job cuts and the closure of its Bochum factory in 2017, a union spokeswoman said.

Management of Ruesselsheim-based Opel and workers had agreed on Friday to extend a previous October 26 deadline for the negotiations which are being conducted on the basis that all four German plants will be protected from closure through 2016.

This intention could be abandoned at any time though, depending on the course of the negotiations, the union spokeswoman told Reuters on Sunday, without being more specific. There's now no firm deadline on the talks, she added.

Opel has a signed contract with IG Metall that protects the four plants from closure through the end of 2014. Management had said in June that the Bochum plant, which employs 3,300 workers, was "broadly expected to be closed" once that deal expired.

GM's European operations have lost a total of $16 billion over the past dozen years despite repeated rounds of job cuts.

With Europe's car market tumbling, labor representatives at Opel are under increasing pressure to accept deep cuts, even more so after rival Ford's decision this week to close two assembly plants in Europe, reducing capacity by 355,000 vehicles and its local workforce by 13 percent.

One of IG Metall's key bargaining chips in the talks with Opel management has been that it agreed in June to let Opel defer payment of an industrywide 4.3 percent wage increase to its German workers until October 31. That has allowed Opel to hold on to more cash as it tries to return to profitability.

The union spokeswoman said on Sunday that both sides had agreed on Friday that employees would receive all backdated wages for May through October with the November pay cheque.

After that, the 4.3 percent pay raise will be deferred indefinitely, she said, noting that workers at Opel's German plants were notified of the plans at weekend gatherings.

Artist will stare 'fitness for work' - Black Triangle Campaign

An award-winning disabled artist is to spend three days in bed in front of an audience, in an attempt to portray the contradictions of her impairment, and the government?s ?miserable, terrifying, punishing? fitness for work assessment regime.

The writer-director-activist Liz Crow is forced to spend much of her life in bed because of her impairment, but has always managed to keep that part of herself hidden from view.

?I have developed this incredibly stark way of living,? she says, ?and what other people see of me in public spaces is not how I am for most of my life. Even the people close to me don?t really know me at the most extreme.?

In?Bedding In?, she will make her ?twilight existence visible?, exposing the part of her life she spends in bed to public scrutiny, and for the first time ?parading? this private self in public.

The piece, part of this year?s SPILL Festival of Performance, in Ipswich, is Crow?s response to the government?s harsh benefits reassessment programme.

But rather than lying low for fear of being penalised by the Department for Work and Pensions, she has decided to ?stare that fear in the face?.

She is one of the hundreds of thousands of long-time incapacity benefit claimants who have been tested through the government?s reassessment programme, and subjected to the infamous work capability assessment, carried out by the government?s contractor Atos Healthcare.

Even though Crow has used a wheelchair for 26 years, Atos decided that she had no difficulty walking. She was placed in the work-related activity group (WRAG), for those thought able to move towards paid work.

But she knows she cannot make herself available for work, and so ? unless she wins her appeal ? she has resigned herself to having her benefits taken away because of the inevitable failure to co-operate with the regime.

?The consequences are that I may have no income coming in and don?t know how as a single parent I will care for my child, let alone my home, etc.?

Less than two weeks after her performance ends, she will need to parade her private self again, when she appeals to a tribunal against the decision to place her in the WRAG.

Crow is clear that she wants Bedding In to be about the complexity of her impairment, and not its ?tragedy?.

?I live a pretty good life with the complicated set of circumstances that I have got,? she says, ?but if I step out of my bed then it is not seen as complexity or contradiction, and in the current benefits system it means you fall through the gaps.?

Each day during the performance at Ipswich Art School Gallery, members of the public will gather around her bed to discuss the work, and its politics. The hope is that Crow will take the ?data? from these conversations and use them to further develop the piece.

?It is a political statement,? she says of the performance, ?but it is also trying to make visible this kind of internal wrestling that goes on for a lot of us with the benefits stuff.

?Since I got personal assistants 15 years ago I have managed to find a kind of fragile security in my life. I have rarely earned but I have, I hope, contributed.

?Now the benefits thing has kicked in it has all gone. Suddenly I don?t feel I have any security left whatsoever.?

Even if she wins her appeal, she faces the likely prospect of being reassessed again in another year or so, and then again, and again.

?The idea that this is life now: that is just dire. There are hundreds of thousands of us going through this assessment. There is some small comfort that there are a lot of us in it together but it is not much comfort because of the toll it takes.

?I have this tiny amount of time when I am well enough to do stuff and I am looking at that time being taken away.

?It has been really hard to create the life I have got, a reasonable life, and this big system comes along with these politicians who are so extraordinarily removed from a life like mine and they demolish what I have built up.?

The whole process feels, she says, like ?punishment?, not assessment, ?an endless round of justifying myself and fighting for a grain of security?.

?There are layers and layers of why it is so hard. One of the things is that if you fall through the gaps, for the press it is evidence that you are a scrounger and a fraudster.?

She is among the many disabled activists who believe that this cruel assessment process ? and the callous and incompetent way it is carried out by Atos ? are responsible for the premature deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of disabled people.

Even if these deaths are not caused by the process, she says, ?actually they died among all this shit, their last few months were so miserable and so frightening, and I think that?s unforgivable. To condemn people to a really miserable last few months is diabolical.?

Crow feels there is an affinity between her performance and the direct action protest carried out by members of Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) at Marble Arch in central London last weekend.

One of the reasons she is so impressed with DPAC?s campaigning work, she says, is that ?they have created an incredible visible presence but have found ways for all sorts of people to contribute?, particularly through social media.

She also sees links with her most recent piece of work, Resistance, an award-winning video installation about the Aktion-T4 programme, which led to the targeted killing of as many as 200,000 disabled people, and possibly many more, in Nazi Germany.

She began working on Resistance in 2008, and started thinking about its themes several years earlier, and felt even then that there were contemporary ?connections?.

?Those contemporary connections have just got stronger and stronger,? she says. ?I am appalled to feel that we are under greater threat now than we have been in all the years I have been involved in activism.?

She points to newspaper reports of alleged disability benefit fraud and the use of language like ?shirkers?, ?scroungers? and ?fakers? to describe disabled people. This kind of propaganda, she says, is ?eerily familiar? from descriptions of pre-Holocaust Germany.

The ?specifics? of what is happening now are not the same as in Nazi Germany, she adds, but ?the values beneath it are, this idea that we are somehow dispensable, more dispensable than others?.

She also points to the Paralympics, which she says ?makes the scrounger-fraudster rhetoric stronger, and leads to a backlash?.

There are even similarities between the Paralympic classification system, and the benefits assessment system. Both suit those who have a ?bio-mechanical, quantifiable impairment?, rather than less clear and easily-determined impairments.

Would-be Paralympians with ?nebulous impairments? fall through the gaps, she says, just as she and many tens of thousands of other disabled people have fallen through the yawning gaps in the benefits system.

Bedding In is part of?Disability Arts Online?s??Diverse Perspectives project, which is funded by Arts Council England, and is commissioning eight disabled artists to make new artwork that ?sparks conversations and debate about the creative case for diversity?.

Bedding In?takes place at the Ipswich Art School Gallery from 1-3 November, from 11am to 6pm, as part of the SPILL Festival of Performance in Ipswich.

BASF reveals its 'Smart Forvision' concept car in India

Bringing the electrical commuting to next level?, BASF one of the world?s leading chemical company, revealed a concept car named ?Smart Forvision? at the Indo-German Urban Mela in New Delhi. The car has been jointly developed by Daimler and BASF and integrates futuristic design with innovative technology that affects areas like fuel efficiency, temperature management and lightweight. Smart Forvision is also regarded as the best platform to showcase new and innovative technology.

Incorporating the automotive expertise of Daimler and material system skills of BASF, the vehicle showcases technology that delivers sustainable and complete electrical kinesis for the future. The designers and engineers have raised a mixture of visionary material and technology in this concept vehicle. Some of these technologies are still at the laboratory stage while the others have shown realistic chances of entering into production line. Smart Forvision was first revealed at the International Motor Show at Frankfurt.

BASF one of the largest suppliers of the chemical products for automotive industry has developed several sustainable and environmental friendly products for the energy efficient commutation for future. The two companies have combined their technological expertise to develop a vehicle that can provide answers for all the challenges that wait for us in the future.

BASF reveals its 'Smart Forvision' concept car in India

New light weight body components, transparent organic solar cells, transparent LEDs, infrared reflective films and coatings and all plastic wheels help the concept vehicle to reduce the total energy consumption to an extra low level and increase it range and hence its practicality.

Energy efficiency

The new state of the art material allows the new concept car to become more efficient, it doesn?t only uses energy efficiently but also generate it. This results in an increase in range and further contributes more towards increasing and improving economy and performance of this electric car. The concept features highly energy efficient solutions like power generating solar cells that are based on the energy saving dye on the roof. The solar cells combine with the organic light emitting diode and give this vehicle a real design enhancement in an environmental friendly way.

The main challenge behind the electric commutation is the production and usage of the electric power required to move cars. Electric mobility is quite effective during climate change and also protects environment if the energy required to drive it is produced with lower CO2 emission. For this consecutive reason BASF is trying to produce energy from renewable sources of energy.

Light weight design

Lighter vehicle requires less energy to move, and also allows for greater range. So, making vehicle lighter is one of the key challenges for the future. Light weight design would mean replacing the traditional metallic components with light weight composite plastics that could offer the same functionality and usage. The weight can also be reduced by using reinforced materials in load bearing components like chassis. Further the Smart Forvision also showcases the all plastic wheels using a high performance material Ultramid developed by BASF. The material is as stable as the metals but weights 30% less.

Comprehensive temperature management

Heating and Air conditioning systems are one of the major consumers of energy in a vehicle. The amount of energy that is being required to heat or cool down the car can be reduced by using comprehensive temperature management system. The system uses innovative materials such as polymer films in the windows and high performance insulating materials.

The vehicle brings together these innovative technologies from the chemical industry in coagulation with the automotive industry to produce unique mobility solutions. Working together chemical and automotive industry are making quite a significant changes in the safety, environmental friendliness and affordability of the vehicle. In form of Smart Forvision, BASF and Daimler had laid the foundation of an efficient, uncompromising and sustainable electrical mobility.

Phillippe Laffont buys apartment at 834 Fifth, home to Rupert Murdoch, Charles Schwab

October 26, 2012 01:30PM
By Katherine Clarke

Phillippe Laffont and the exterior and interior of 834 Fifth Avenue

Billionaires, like birds of a feather, tend to stick together.

Finance bigwig Phillippe Laffont, founder of tech-focused multibillion-dollar hedge fund Coatue, has purchased a three-bedroom apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue, a Rosario Candela-designed building best known for its billionaire contingent.

Laffont paid $24 million for the 15-room spread, $1 million more than its most recent asking price of $23 million, according to public records filed today with the city. The spread was originally listed in October 2011 for $27.5 million with Ann Jeffery and Mary Rutherfurd of Brown Harris Stevens. It underwent several price cuts, first to $25 million in February and then to $23 million in May.

The deal for the duplex residence closed October 12, public records show. The seller was the estate of late concrete mogul Walter Goldstein. The former CEO of Underhill Industries died in 2008.

The building is also home to News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch, banking giant Charles Schwab and real estate developer and philanthropist Alfred Taubman. Billionaire Robert Bass purchased an apartment there for $34 million last year.

The Brown Harris Stevens sales team was not immediately available for comment. It was not clear who represented Laffont.
