Well this week has been quite a roller coaster emotionally. It started with coming back from D.C. on Sunday, which was an amazing experience. Monday was the one year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting. I remember waking up a year ago to find out that one of my gay sanctuaries had been attacked. As the death toll rose that day I was devastated. A year later, I still mourn for those lost. An older trans woman at my internship was talking about it in passing at work and mentioned that her generation of queer people just expected that kind of stuff to happen in a way that mine has never had to. She said the trans elders are the only ones who get to be tired, and my generation has to lead the fight. That’s scary to hear, but she’s right.
When our GPAs were updated on Wednesday, I found out that my GPA went up from last semester, and compared to last year, it improved 3.1 tenths of a point. I was still pretty down despite this good news. It was a depressing feeling that I similarly had when I got my fall semester grades back in January. To be fair, I was experiencing feeling a little down before my grades came out. How I was feeling doesn’t make sense because on paper everything is rainbows and butterflies here in NYC. I guess emotions don’t make sense all of the time.
On Friday, I went with the other intern to watch a couple of oral arguments at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Both cases were about civil rights issues (religious and free speech discrimination in employment) and were appealing summary judgment. It was really cool to see. I thought it was interesting that some of the competitions that I’ve watched at school had hotter benches than the one I observed on Friday.
Yesterday, I went to Bronx Pride with one of my co-workers. Despite the rain at the beginning, everyone had a great time. Being around so many trans people of color, especially the elders really put everything back into perspective for me. Some have been fighting to survive for decades. Some have been thriving for decades. All have been committed to the movement for decades.
The Bronx Pride was incredibly trans-centered. They gave out many awards to those that have supported my community. There’s an entire culture here, trans and queer, that I’m learning about. I have an entire culture that I’m finally learning about and experiencing. It’s a powerful thing. I don’t feel so down anymore.

I respectfully disagree with Dr. Vaccarezza's characterization that the uninsured consists of people who could afford coverage but choose to spend money on “nonessential pleasures.” The Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute report that “the vast majority of uninsured people are in low- or moderate-income families. Individuals below poverty are at the highest risk of being uninsured, and this group comprises 38% of the uninsured population (the poverty level for a family of four was $22,350 in 2011). In total, nine out of ten uninsured people are in low- or moderate-income families, meaning they are below 400% of poverty” (1). These people lack health insurance because their employers don't offer it, and they can't afford to buy it themselves, not because they choose to spend money on something else. Dr. Vaccarezza also says that the Affordable Care Act will lead to “central government making health care–related decisions.” The law expands the federal government's role in subsidizing and regulating coverage, but it mostly closes gaps in the current system of private insurance rather than putting people in a government-run plan. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that by 2022, an additional 11 million people will be enrolled in Medicaid, 25 million will get coverage from private insurers offered through state- or federally administered marketplaces (exchanges), but 157 million will continue to get health insurance from their employers. The number of uninsured persons will be reduced by 30 million (2).

– Cinema Eurcine Multisala: located in the EUR neighborhood, in the South-West area, it shows movies in original language every Monday and Tuesday.
– Three UCI Cinemas in the shopping malls Porta di Roma (Zona Bufalotta, on the North quadrant), Roma Est (Zona Lunghezza on the East quadrant) and Parco Leonardo (in Rome Fiumicino). They usually show films in original language on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We are grateful to these new cinemas as they will give the international community and the growing Italian audience who love films in VO and live in different areas of the city and not only in the historic center an additional opportunity to appreciate how priceless is to enjoy actors speaking with their own voice and not being dubbed in Italian.
We take this opportunity to thank you also the Cinema Nuovo Olimpia, Cinema dei Piccoli and Cinema Nuovo Sacher that, together with the unforgotten Cinema Metropolitan, have started this practice many years ago when movies in original language were only for a small audience and to the Cinema Multisala Lux, Cinema Farnese, Cinema Odeon Multiscreen, Cinema Apollo 11, Cinema Multisala Barberini and The Space Cinema Moderno that later on have decided to dedicate some of their cinema screens to movies in their original language, allowing to engage more and more people.
A BIG BIG thank you from the Rome Review community…thousands of lovers of movies in VO!

Since the 1970s, the Stingray bass has evolved to become one of the best bolt-on neck production basses you can buy. This meant that some of the original features were left behind, and of course some players were unhappy about the changes. In 2009, the Ernie Ball Company gave players the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is and offered up the Classic Stingray 4, which has some really neat retro features.
Other than these items, these basses are standard MusicMan fare. They have ash bodies with a thick poly finish, and fortunately they stayed with a 6-bolt neck joint instead of going back to a 4-bolt or (gasp) 3-bolt microtilt design.
The necks are beefy with 1 5/8-inch wide nuts and are 34-inch scale with 21 frets. Again, I am glad they use the modern truss rod wheel (now chrome!) instead of the crummy old bullet truss rod ends.
The hardware is first rate, too. The bridge has stainless steel saddles, and standard Schaller BM tuners with tapered posts are installed in the 3+1 headstock configuration. An alnico humbucker rounds out the 2-band electronics package.
And I have been sucked in with the rest of the crowd and love these basses. The 2010 Coral Red one that you see here is a monster of a bass. I swapped out the 0.045 to 0.100 standard strings for some Hybrid Slinkies (0.045 to 0.105) and it is one of the best Stingrays I have ever owned.
Of course it sounds like a Stingray, and can be very edgy or smooth, depending on how it is eq’d and how much the strings are dug into. But the real magic is the neck on this thing.
The 7.5-inch radius fretboard suits my playing style much better, and I prefer the poly finish to the gunstock oil that is found on the standard Stingrays. It feels better to the touch and it cleans up much easier. Win-win.
It is not horribly heavy either, coming in at around 9 ¾ pounds on my digital scale. It is a real peach, and I hope that I can keep this one around for a while.
The price of nostalgia will cost you a bit for this one. A new Classic Stingray 4 has a list price of $2570 and a street price o f $1799, so you had better start saving now.
By the way, there are also Classic Stingray 5 and Classic Sterling models available too, in case the Stingray 4 is not your bag. As long as you do not want a lefty, as they are not selling any of these for southpaws.

Going Agile - What's the best duration for each agile development cycle?
Every client wants their work to be done faster, more efficiently and exactly as per requirements. Within the IT industry over the last 8 � 10 years, agile software development has been the process of choice for taking each software development companydelivery to the next level. All the web and software development companies across the globe have adapted the agile methodology for their development work.Most clients these days are also looking for agile development company for their development work, since it allows them flexibility during the ongoing development work. This is so that work can be delivered quicker and ongoing work can be monitored on regular basis. In short clients can assess the direction of their project getting developed and this is achieved by call-and-response work known as sprints or iterations.
The duration of each agile development cycle would depend on the stage of the project, team size, requirement clarity and time availability/ feedback from stakeholders / owners. Typically at the very initial stages a smaller sprint size is preferred as team members get familiar with each other and the stakeholders/ owners, and start understanding the requirements and plan the solution architecture. A smaller agile cycle helps everyone communicate and build POCs effectively and get quick feedback on the same from stakeholders/ owners. As the work progresses, and there is clarity, buy in, detailing and budgeting on the concept, larger agile cycles make sense. As the requirements get clear, code base increases and iterations are planned on live code, a longer agile cycle helps the project team to build code on a larger existing code base, and integrate / test properly on production servers.
Each sprint, agile developmentcycle or iteration needs to be for a specific time period for analyzing the ongoing development work. Based on the number of resources those are hired for the development work, clients in discussions with the team members usually start with a 2 weekagile software developmentcycle duration. The length of the sprint can be altered as and when required at a later stage of development. There is no thumb rule for defining any agile cycle duration, but ideally one can start with 2weeks and later increase it to 3 or 4 weeks depending upon the speed of the ongoing development work.One has to experiment with different agile cycle durations to see which fits them well for the agile development work.
In some cases a sprint agile cycle for 4weeks would work for the clients, when client�s need to have technical documentation develop and side-by-side require development to take place. Clients would have more time to provide feedback on the work and can add more features in that time period. On the other hand, it sometimes becomes difficult to plan for a 4weeks sprint cycle, since new features and functionalities might crop-up in-between the ongoing sprint cycle and that could lead towards more delays in the development work. Plus the focus of the agile development team could hamper as well, since they won�t be sure of what additional things might come-up while they are working on particular sets of features.
If sprint cycles are for 2weeks, the client would have the opportunity to review sprints and development work more often and provide their feedback. Also, if new additional features and functionalities are there in client�s mind, the team can work on them in the next sprint cycle just a week or two down. It would also help in overall planning of the work and reduce delays. At the same time, it�s difficult to get a finished working module in 2weeks time period. Small and easy modules can be managed, but if a particular feature and functionality is complex, than it would need more time for the development team to deliver. It also increases the level of pressure the developers would be working under and that could overall affect the ongoing development work.
Overall the key to the right agile cycle duration depends upon the kind of work, team size and what clients expect the agile team to deliver in a particular time frame. The sprint cycles can be discussed with the software development company, once the initial few weeks of work gets started by the agile development team. It needs to be planned in a way where the development team gets some time to show case their creativity and plan work to perfection. The time frame of the sprint cycle should be comfortable to the development team as well as with the client. Of course, sprint cycles time frame can be changed anytime, depending upon work priorities and stage of development of the software.

Keep an eye out for this pamphlet next year to support more charities!
Alyson bringing in our own donations for others.
Anna at the event soaking in all of the donations for all of the charities from the day.
We're all probably quite used to seeing that neon sign out front of Ronnie Scott's signalling that it's time for the music to begin, but we hadn't seen their charitable foundation logo before we were invited to be a beneficiary of their most recent Instrument Amnesty. Though this was back in October, we are still reaping the benefits. We were able to take on two new piano pupils thanks to some piano donations, one of our promising violin students was allowed to take one home with him, and our cellist has been practicing so much on her donated cello, that she is already developing callouses and asking for her own arrangements!
A big thank you to Ronnie Scott's for organising this event, which helps redistribute unused instruments to music charities who could REALLY put them to use. To all of you out there, remember, you don't have to wait until next year's event! We are ALWAYS in need of instruments, especially full-sized violins and light-weight keyboards (ideally that we can plug headphones into). Get in touch if you have an instrument you would love us to adopt.

Dude, you did WHAT in your sock?
Blizzard has slammed the unhealthy practise of 'poopsocking'- the act of neglecting basic hygiene in favour of remaining at your PC.
Following the UK mainstream media's rush to cover the unfortunate story of a young World Of Warcraft gamer collapsing after a lengthy session on Blizzard's massively popular MMO, TechRadar spoke to PC Zone to get their take on the matter.
"The problem with World of Warcraft is that its developer, Blizzard, has had four years now to refine and perfect a set of game rules which promotes addiction," said Deputy Editor of PC Zone, Steve Hogarty.
Though Hogarty is quick to add the disclaimer,"though it's cynical to think that the creators of WoW are happy with children and adults wasting away in front of their game."
"In fact, when PC Zone confronted lead game designer Tom Chilton with the phenomenon of 'poopsocking', he was stunned, saying "no, no... I highly encourage players to use the restroom..."!"
The 15-year-old Swedish boy in question had been caning the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack for 24 hours solid, suffering an epileptic-like fit after the day-long stint at the monitor.
"They played all day and all night. Maybe they got a few hours of sleep. They ate a little food and breakfast at their computers," the boy's father told the Kvällsposten newspaper in Sweden.
Doctors put the boy's seizure down to sleep deprivation, lack of food, and a prolonged period of concentration on the game.
Dr Richard Graham, a child psychiatrist at the Tavistock Centre, told the BBC: "Some of my clients will discuss playing games for 14 to 16 hours a day at times without breaks and for those the consequences are potentially very severe."
"The problem with World of Warcraft is the degree it can impact and create a socially withdrawn figure who may be connecting with people in the game and is largely dropping out of education, social opportunities."
Surely though, two of the more obvious questions seemingly going unanswered here are "why would you allow your child to play a game for 24 hours straight?" and "how many, of the ELEVEN MILLION plus WoW players could be classified as being 'addicted' to the game?"

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2017 — Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE:VRT) (OTC:VRTHF) (Frankfurt:2VP), (“Veritas” or the “Company”) announces that its research arm, Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd. (“CTL”) has signed a letter of intent with the Fundación de Investigación (FDI) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to conduct the first human study of CTL-X, its lead cannabis strain targeting pain.
Puerto Rico is one of the world’s best known pharmaceutical production and development centers with a growing biotech presence. Most of the biggest pharmaceutical companies have used this US territory as a manufacturing or outsourcing base due to its established infrastructure, highly skilled labour force, popular tax incentives, and immediate access to the US market. Around 60% of Puerto Rico’s export value is pharma-related and over 25% of the country’s GDP comes from the pharma industry (Puerto Rico Report, 2017). In 2015, the territory legalized the use of medical cannabis to treat at least 14 pre-approved conditions including pain, HIV, cancer, multiple sclerosis, migraines, anxiety and epilepsy. According to the popular online magazine The Cannabist, there are nearly 9,000 Puerto Ricans who have paid $25 USD a year for a permit to use medical cannabis, 27 dispensaries, 11 grow facilities, five manufacturing centers and two laboratories responsible for analyzing all medical marijuana before it’s sold (The Cannabist, 2017).
Veritas Pharma Inc. is an emerging pharmaceutical and IP development company, who, through its 80% owned subsidiary Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd. (“CTL”), is advancing the science behind medical cannabis. It is the Company’s aim, through its investment in CTL, to develop the most effective cannabis strains (cultivars) specific to pain, nausea, epilepsy and PTSD, solving the critical need for clinical data to support medical marijuana claims. CTL’s unique value proposition uses a low-cost research and development model to help drive shareholder value, and speed-to-market. Veritas investment in CTL is led by strong management team, bringing together veteran academic pharmacologists, anesthetists & chemists. The company’s commercial mission is to patent protect IP (cultivars & strains) and sell or license to cancer clinics, insurance industry and pharma, targeting multi-billion dollar global markets.

But Clark was never foolish enough to claim—as so many self-deluding pop stars do—that the songs are out there in the ether waiting to be captured by the right antenna. Those pop stars failed, he knew, to recognize the sudden appearance of inspiration as the prompting of their own subconscious. And by pretending that the songs arrived already finished, those lazy pop stars rationalized their unwillingness to do the work of crafting an inspiration into a finished song.
“I work on songs all the time,” he told me. “I still work on songs that were written 20 years ago. If there’s a line that I never liked, and all of a sudden a better line pops out of my mouth on stage, I’ll use the new line forever after. For example, one of my favorite songs is ‘Better Days,’ but there was a line that never suited me. I tried to change it but I couldn’t think of a better one, so I went ahead and recorded the song as it was.
The original version was the title track of Clark’s 1983 album, the last part of a trilogy he did for Warner Bros. Records. All three LPs were later released as a two-CD set on Philo, Craftsman. That word defined both his process and his achievement better than any other. The revised version of “Better Days” can be heard on 1997’s Keepers—A Live Recording.
“Keepers” was Clark’s phrase for songs that are worth recording. Like a fisherman, he implies, you hook and reel in a lot of songs from the subconscious but most of them are too scrawny and ill-shapen to take home. So you throw them back into the pond with instructions to eat a lot of plankton and fill out. He learned that—and so much else—from his best friend and greatest influence: Townes Van Zandt.
They met in 1963, the 21-year-old Clark was a college dropout who dabbled in building boats and playing folk music in Houston. Van Zandt was 19 at the time, a scrawny, laconic dark-haired kid with a dry wit. When Clark first met him, Van Zandt had only written two songs, “I’ll Be Here in the Morning” and “Turnstyled, Junkpiled,” but they were enough to give Clark a whole new perspective on songwriting. He had always assumed that folk songs were so old that no one could remember writing them and that pop songs were so silly that no one gave much thought to writing them.
“The first time I heard Townes, I went, ‘Wow!’” Clark remembered. “Here was someone who was writing new songs that weren’t talking about girls and beer in moon-June rhymes. There was something intelligent about the way he used the English language. I said to myself, ‘Here’s a reason to write a song.’ I started writing the day I met him.
Clark was divorced and working as an art director at the CBS station in Houston when he met his future wife Susanna at the end of 1969. She told him, “Look, if you’re going to be a songwriter, be a songwriter. Don’t dabble at it and then spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.” With that challenge ringing in his ears, Guy moved to L.A. and brought Susanna with him.
“We were living in this garage apartment in this straight neighborhood in Long Beach,” Clark explained. “We woke up one morning to the sound of the landlord chopping down this beautiful grapefruit tree, and my first reaction was, ‘Pack up all the dishes.’ It sounded like a line in a song, so I wrote it down. Just about the only discipline I have as a songwriter is to write down an idea as soon as I have it. You wind up with a stack of bar napkins, and the real work comes the next day or week when you sit down and go through them to see if any of them makes any sense.
The Clarks had moved to Nashville in 1971 because Guy had finally landed a publishing deal with RCA. Soon he and Susanna were newlyweds with the irascible Van Zandt as a house guest. The parties at the house became legendary as the likes of Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, David Olney, Jerry Jeff Walker, Mickey Newbury and Vince Gill would pass around a jug of wine and take turns singing their latest songs. No one knew who they were at the time, but they were getting the best training a songwriter could hope for. And it paid off in the long run, for this crowd supplied country radio with its best songs of the 1980s.
Clark’s songs were soon at the top of the country charts: “She’s Crazy for Leavin’” (Rodney Crowell), “Heartbroke” (Ricky Skaggs), “New Cut Road” (Bobby Bare) and “Oklahoma Borderline” (Vince Gill). Clark also had songs recorded by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Tom Waits, Patty Loveless, Nanci Griffith, Rosanne Cash, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Joe Ely, Emmylou Harris and Townes Van Zandt.
Van Zandt died in 1997, Susanna in 2012. Guy Clark released his last major-label album in 1995, but he enjoyed a rewarding second career as a well-respected songwriter who more-famous singers were eager to interpret and/or co-write with. The swept-back dark hair above his high cheekbones that had once made him look like a rodeo star had turned silver, making him look more like a Civil War senator. For as long as he stayed healthy, Clark continued to tour, performing from one of the greatest song catalogs of his generation, most often with his other best friend, Verlon Thompson.
For all his success in Nashville and in the country field, Clark never thought of himself as a country artist. He always thought of himself as a folk-blues artist in the tradition of Van Zandt and Bob Dylan. In his mind, he wasn’t writing for country radio, he was writing—and constantly re-writing—to get that sought-after nod from Van Zandt. On the other hand, he came from a small town in West Texas, and he could never escape those roots.

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was performing just a little analysis on this. And he the reality is purchased me breakfast given that I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to talk about this, I really feel strongly about it and enjoy reading far more on this subject. If attainable, as you develop into expertise, would you mind updating your weblog with more details? It is actually extremely valuable for me. Massive thumb up for this weblog post!

On Jan. 11, Dr. Robert Kelchen, an Assistant Professor with the Department of Education Leadership, Management and Policy, ranked No. 32 out of the top 200 professors a group of national educators ranked, which looked at approximately 20,000 faculty in total. Education Week and American Enterprise Institute made this announcement.
Director of Media Relations Laurie Pine, who has worked closely with Dr. Kelchen, commented on his achievement.
“It was announced today by Education Week and American Enterprise Institute that Seton Hall’s Robert Kelchen made No. 32 out of the top 200 professors that Rick Hess and a group of national educators ranked, looking at approximately 20,000 faculty – as those who are making a difference engaging with public policy on important higher education issues.,” Pine wrote in an email.
She provided additional important details about Dr. Kelchen’s achievement, conveying just how meaningful it is.
“I think that makes him number 1 for N.J. scholar influencer professors on the list,” Pine said.
“Having approximately 116 interviews published in the last year, he tied for first place (along with Temple’s Sara Goldrick-Rab) for receiving the most mentions by the education press and was ranked sixth in the nation for mentions in mainstream U.S. newspapers in general. He also received a ranking of first place in the nation in the Junior Faculty category,” she continued.
Dr. Kelchen shared insight about why he pursued higher education in the first place.
Now that he is in higher education, he wants to help students solve pressing issues like affording the universities they attend.
Dr. Kelchen is skeptical about how much progress can be made, though, in consideration of the government shutdown.
“I don’t expect to see major changes in higher education over the next year at the national level, particularly with a gridlocked Congress,” he continued.
He believes there is hope with new presidential candidates and legislation.

An adaptation of the novel The Swtich is on the way with John Hawkes, Yasmin Bey (formerly Mos Def), Will Forte, Isla Fisher and Tim Robbins starring, but author Elmore Leonard won't be around to see one more of his books hit the big screen. The New York Times reports that the author behind such novels as Get Shorty, Out of Sight, The Big Bounce, Jackie Brown and 3:10 to Yuma, all of which became major motion pictures, has passed away at his home in Michigan at the age of 87. But despite his books serving as inspiration for so many films, Leonard was never really a big fan of the adaptations themselves. Read on.
In fact, as the newspaper points out, Leonard would often pan the film adaptations with great comic effect, even the more popular and successful films like Get Short and Out of Sight. The paper recalls, "His first novel, The Big Bounce, was filmed twice, in 1969 and 2004. After seeing the first version, he declared it to be 'at least the second-worst movie ever made.' In a much-told anecdote, he said that once he saw the remake, he knew what the worst one was." Harsh words, but the author clearly felt like the best medium for his work was the page. However, that didn't stop his influence on film.
"Well, when I was a kid and I first started reading his novels I got really caught up in his characters and the way they talked. As I started reading more and more of his novels it kind of gave me permission to go my way with characters talking around things as opposed to talking about them. He showed me that characters can go off on tangents and those tangents are just as valid as anything else. Like the way real people talk. I think his biggest influence on any of my things was 'True Romance.' Actually, in 'True Romance' I was trying to do my version of an Elmore Leonard novel in script form. I didn't rip it off, there's nothing blatant about it, it's just a feeling you know, and a style I was inspired by more than anything you could point your finger at."
Though Leonard might have been a stickler for his work being turned into filmed entertainment, he wasn't completely hard to please. His short story Fire in the Hole was turned into the series "Justified" on FX. Leonard wholly approved of how the show had turned out, and even wrote his 45th novel Raylan with the series in mind. The novel and series follows Raylan Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant in the series), a federal marshal from Harlan County, Kentucky, who presents himself as a good ole country boy but is more than meets the eye.
Leonard's writing has spanned decades, and his influence will be felt in writers and filmmakers for years to come. In what might be one of the most simple but effective pieces of advice to writers out there, Leonard once wrote, "Try to leave out the parts that readers tend to skip. If it sounds like writing, rewrite it." Many authors, screenwriters and more could benefit from just those simple suggestions, and all forms of entertainment would be better for it.
I loved Out of Sight at the time, also recently 'Justified' has been a guilty pleasure. Even read a few of his books which is something I rarely do. Rest up some fella.

Tasting Notes: A rare treat for the adventurous, Kuro Kabuto Muroka Junmai Daiginjo is brewed using Black Koji (Kurokoji) instead of the usual Yellow Koji (Kikoji), contributing to a very unique and interesting flavor profile. The brewers forego the usual carbon filtration, allowing the natural qualities nurtured during brewing to remain, and send it straight to bottling for cold storage. Has a ripe strawberry field nose and a full body. It's flavor zips around the palate with a puckering, fruitlike acidity, refreshing the senses and engaging the mind.
Profile: Ikekame was stablished by sword master Genzo (a forward-thinking early entrepreneur) in Meiji Year 8 on the banks of the Chikugo River. He decided to use its waters, and committed to an enterprise based on sincerity to his sake style. Even today, the brewery still holds fast to those values. Their fans always find something new and interesting with every new bottle, and are often moved by unique products that stay with them forever.

Earlier this year, I put together a post about several games coming out in 2018 that I’m super-duper interested in playing. As if I don’t already have a backlog of un-played games that could fill up the Grand Canyon twice, but whatever. New stuff is always more exciting. Well, of them all, a few have come out, and I’ve gotten to see one through to credits, namely Legendary Gary. I’m still going to be picking up State of Decay 2 for co-op reasons, and I’ll be curious to see how Red Dead Redemption 2 is received despite never playing the first one or really falling hard for the Grand Theft Auto games. I’m also curious to know how The Swords of Ditto runs on PC, since I do not have a PlayStation 4.
Still, it seems like the last couple of weeks have brought about even more announced games for 2018, many of which I want to get my grubby, button-pushing hands on. Because I am never not sated. Right, well, take a look at the following titles below, and let me know if you are also interested in any of these or if you are too busy still playing Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! to care.
A lot of people were upset when No Man’s Sky came out and…maybe they had reasons to be. It over-promised, lacked communication, and potentially felt like a magician’s trick, if you went solely on its marketing. For me, this always sounded like a game I’d really enjoy, a laid-back take on exploring infinite universes, even before the numerous updates that went into it to flesh it out, content- and story-wise. The notion of exploring planets and casually documenting all life on them, both flora and fauna, sounds truly relaxing, real nice. So I’m super stoked this is coming to Xbox One, and this version will contain all the previous updates to the game, as well as the upcoming update dubbed “Next” at the time of the release.
This is both amazing and sad news to share with y’all, but Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is making its way to western shores after a long time of waiting and wondering. Yahoo and boo. Alas, not for the Nintendo 3DS, where I was hoping to play it and check out its two visual filters, one for retro pixel graphics and one for more modern 3D graphics. Oh well. At least it’ll hit the PC–a first for the franchise!–and I can see what the hubbub is all about, so long as my laptop can run it. Until then, I still have plenty of photos to take in Dragon Quest VIII.
Mel and I are currently trying to wrap up LEGO Jurassic World, and it’s definitely one I’m not having a grand ol’ time playing. I mean, I didn’t like the 3DS version, but had hopes that the console versions would be fun. Alas, nope. I have some major issues with the map and fast traveling options, but that’s for another post. Coming out alongside the new movie, LEGO The Incredibles will cover both the first film and its sequel, and I think the superhero powers, as shown in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, make for a good, zany time. That said, Mr. Incredible looks a little jarring in LEGO form, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it, so long as he can bust up stuff effectively for studs.
I’ve only played one title from Grundislav Games, namely A Golden Wake, but really dug its look, sound, and general vibe. Plus, it was a modern yet old-school point-and-click adventure game, which I truly cannot get enough of these days. The forthcoming Lamplight City from the same developer appears to be checking off all these characteristics as well. It’s a detective adventure set in an alternate steampunk-ish “Victorian” past. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens, you’ll never find yourself stuck in a dead-end situation because if the case becomes unsolvable, you can simply move on to the next one, and the story will adapt based on your choices. Neat-o.
Wait a minute. Upon further research, I also played Ben Chandler: Paranormal Investigator – In Search of the Sweets Tin. Shame on me for forgetting that gem. At some point, I really should check out all them Ben Jordan romps.
What a beautifully dumb pun. I smile every time I read it.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a game I think about going back to often, but the truth is that my Xbox 360 now is kind of unplayable. I mean, no, it still works, but I have to switch a bunch of cords in and out and it’s a small hassle, big enough to keep me at bay. Thankfully, a lot of stuff is backwards compatible on the Xbox One, and, if not, there’s usually a good chance it has or is getting a remake/remaster. Which brings us to Red Faction: Guerilla Re-Mars-Tered. It’s the same-old third-person shooter about revolution on a Martian mining colony from 2009 you remember, but with cleaner textures, 4K support, and all that. I’m excited to go back and be the ultimate nuisance, driving through buildings, blowing up bridges, demolishing houses, and starting trouble at every turn. I never did get all of its collectibles.
I’d love to have a solo card/board game to travel with, especially this summer as my family heads to Walt Disney World, and Palm Island seems like it could be perfect for a little gaming on the go or, more specifically, while stuck in an airplane and internally freaking about being so high up in the sky in a massive heap of metal and mouthbreathers. Using a deck-transforming mechanic, players must use just 17 cards over 8 rounds to shape their island and overcome its unique challenges. You do this by storing up resources to pay for upgrades and upgrade buildings to access new abilities, with each decision changing your village from round to round. At the end of 8 rounds, you calculate your victory points to see if you came out a winner. The Kickstarter for Palm Island was successful, which I did not back, and so now we wait.

Review seems to mixed about this latest entry in the Predator franchise, still I will give it a watch when it hits DVD as I’m a big fan of the old films.
I was watching Predator the other week and it’s amazing to think that film is now over 30 years old but it still look great as if it had been made in the last decade and not in 1987.
Watched the new one the other night, not so bad as I thought it would be but not that great ether, does suffer from the Wesley Crusher syndrome.

There are two leading stock exchnages in India viz. BSE and NSE. Both exchanges categorize their listed companies using specific criteria. This categorization facilitates traders/investors selecting the scrip. BSE has categorized its scrips as BSE group. For novices, these group may be daunting. This article helps to understand BSE group.
Currently there are 6 active stock exchanges in India, viz.
Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
Of these active exchanges, BSE and NSE are the leading ones. Both of these exchanges compete with each other. They offer various facilities and options to its users. One of this facility is called categorizing the listed stocks. Both exchanges categorize its listed stocks differently with a different point of view. While NSE has categorized from the perspective of investors, BSE has categorized from the perspective of stocks. FundsBase has already decoded the NSE series for categorization. You can read that for your reference. In contrast to NSE, BSE has classified its listed securities in groups.
Before moving ahead to BSE stocks classification, let’s have a small recap of the BSE.
BSE Ltd. (formerly known as Bombay Stock Exchange) is the oldest exchange in Asia. It was established within two decades after the first freedom fight against East India Company erupted. At that time it was named as “The Native Share and Stock brokers Association”. You can refer BSE history for more details on BSE evolution.
BSE claims to be the fastest exchange in the world with the speed of 6 microseconds.
BSE has leveraged the fact to be the oldest stock exchange in Asia thus has more than 5500 companies listed. This figure makes BSE the exchange with the largest number of companies listed in the world. It used to operate on floor trading mechanism where licensed brokers shout-out prices in a ring inside the exchange. There was huge chaos and price fluctuation information was completely black-boxed. Investors outside the exchange used to learn about the previous day’s price through newspaper only. NSE, after its establishment started focussing on technology thus became favourite of investors. You can refer why NSE is better than BSE or a more in-depth article why NSE is more popular than BSE.
BSE noticed the user shift towards NSE and adopted technology as well. In 1995 BSE switched to electronic trading platform developed by CMC Ltd. This BSE trading platform is called BSE On-Line Trading (BOLT).
As mentioned earlier BSE has classified its listed stocks based on the stocks itself. Means BSE has grouped the stocks according to the liquidity, volatility, trustworthiness and much more. Clearly, BSE has classified the stock for investor’s guidance and benefit. Broadly BSE has divided securities in A, B, T and Z groups. Let’s go through BSE groups one by one.
This BSE group A consists the stocks which are most popular and actively traded. Read criteria for selecting BSE Group A for your reference.
This BSE group T represents the scrips which are settled on a trade-to-trade basis.
This BSE group Z was introduced by in July 1999 and includes companies which have failed to comply with its listing requirements and/or have failed to resolve investor complaints and/or have not made the required arrangements with both the depositories viz. CDSL and NSDL for dematerialization of their securities.
All securies which don’t fall in any of the above three categories come under BSE group B.
This BSE group F represents the fixed income securities.
This BSE group G represents the government securities traded by retail investors.
BSE has further classified the securities listed exclusively on BSE as sub-segments as X and XT. XT includes all the stocks which are exclusively listed on BSE and settled on the trade-to-trade basis. Rest stocks exclusively listed on BSE fall under the sub-segment X.
Previously there were XC and XD groups which were merged to group X on 24Nov2017. Read the notice of merging XC and XD to X for your reference.

Christmas shopping at Mirdif City Centre in Dubai with Mother. Peter gave up after 2 hours and half way round the first floor, we got a taxi home.
It all looks so neat and tidy there! I think I would probably have quit after two hours too!
It's not a Mall many tourists will go to, more for the locals and much more quiet in the mornings.
2 hours is my limit on shopping too! Looks an amazing place and so much to cover there in one trip!
we almost never go to big shopping centres- i mean really like once a year maybe - and when we do, I am done after an hour :) I think 2 hours would do me in. Merry Xmas to you.

Location: This mine is located in the SW1/4 section 35, T. 8 N., R. 7 E., of the Seward Meridian. It is at an elevation of 300 feet above sea level, on the east side of Culross Bay about 1,500 feet from shore. This is location 106 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977), location 169 of Cobb and Tysdal (1980), and location S-102 of Jansons and others (1984). Cobb and Tysdal (1980) summarized the relevant references under the name Thomas-Culross. This location is accurate to within 300 feet.
Geology: The Thomas-Culross mine is within the Contact Fault zone, a major thrust fault that juxtaposes the Valdez Group of Late Cretaceous age with the Orca Group of Teriary age. The Contact Fault zone formed 65 million to 35 million years ago and ranges from 1 to 6 miles wide. Within this zone are numerous discrete shears. The general trend of the Contact Fault zone is northeast, but the strike of individual shears may vary widely. The country rocks at the mine consist of sheared Orca Group greenstone, which is rehealed by quartz veins that contain arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and gold. Slate and graywacke outcrop about 50 feet north of the portal. The shear zone is traceable for about 900 feet and strikes N10E with a vertical dip (Johnson, 1914 [B 592-G, p. 235-236]). The quartz veins within the zone range from 1 to 14 inches wide and show banding; some arsenopyrite is disseminated in the surrounding wall rock (Johnson, 1914 [B 592-G, p. 235-236]). The extensive workings on the property were developed over a period of about 30 years. There are a total of 720 feet of adits and drifts, along with a 180-foot raise. A 1,350-foot-long aerial tramway connected the mine to a 10-foot Chilean mill (Jansons and others, 1984). Estimated production from this mine is 62 ounces of gold and 52 ounces of silver (Jansons and others, 1984).
Workings: The extensive workings on the property were developed over a period of about 30 years. There are a total of 720 feet of adits and drifts, along with a 180 foot raise. A 1,350-foot aerial tramway connected the mine to a 10 foot Chilean Mill near the beach (Jansons and others, 1984). Estimated production from this mine is 62 ounces of gold and 52 ounces of silver (Jansons and others, 1984). The U.S. Bureau of Mines collected multiple samples from this property that assayed from trace to 14.8 ppm gold and trace to 6.5 ppm silver. (Jansons and others, 1984).
Age: Eocene or younger; the mineralized shear cuts Eocene greenstone of the Orca Group of Tertiary age.
Production: Estimated production from this mine is 62 ounces of gold and 52 ounces of silver (Jansons and others, 1984).
Reserves: The U.S. Bureau of Mines estimated an indicated reserve of 8,600 tons at 5.5 ppm gold and 3.4 ppm silver (Jansons and others, 1984).

His ship Endurance left Plymouth on 8th August 1914.
Soon after arriving in the Weddell Sea however, on 18th January 1915, she became stuck in the ice. Efforts were made to release her - on 14th February 1915 Shackleton ordered men on to the ice with: ice-chisels, saws and picks but this was useless.
She drifted for many months until eventually began being crushed by the ice. The order to abandon ship was given on 27th October 1915 in freezing temperatures below -25oC and Endurance finally sank on 21st November 1915.
The crew were now stranded in Antarctica and their task was simply to survive. They had to make new shoes out of pieces of wood scavenged from the ship and were forced to eat: seal and penguin meat, seal-bone soup, limpets and seaweed as their food supplies ran low.
The men attempted to march across the slowly moving ice floe but progress was so slow that they decided to make camp and hope that they would drift towards safety. The ice rocked so much that many of the men became seasick.
On 8th April 1916 the ice suddenly split and the men were forced to get in the small lifeboats they had salvaged from the Endurance. Shakleton managed to keep his men together by strong leadership and after a terrible journey with regular soakings in icy seawater, they reached the remote, uninhabited Elephant Island on 14th May 1916.
From here, Shakleton then set off again with five of his men in a small, 7-metre lifeboat across savage seas with hurricane-force winds to reach the island of South Georgia on 10th May 1916. Once there, he then: marched over a mountain that had never before been climbed, found help and went on to rescue every one of his men left on Elephant Island on 30th August 1916.
These men hadn't had any contact with civilisation for about two years and were unaware of the course of the Great War. News of the expedition's safe arrival in the Falkland Islands briefly eclipsed war news in the British newspapers at one point and many of the men involved were given the Polar Medal. On their return however, most had to immediately take up active military or naval service.

Sold a Single Family home in 2001 in Newhall, Santa Clarita, CA.
Bryan helped my wife and I buy and sell two homes in Northern Virginia, including our first-ever home purchase. We highly recommend Bryan as your realtor. He is professional, trustworthy, listens to your needs and offers his expertise when necessary.
We bought our first home in 2001 during a frenzied market (i.e. 20 contracts on homes within 24 hours of open house). He worked tirelessly and diligently on our behalf. He listened to us talk as we toured homes, which allowed him to continually refine his searches for us. Ultimately, his hard work found us a home we purchased before it hit the market. Upon sale of that house 7 years later (with Bryan again), we sold it for more than double our purchase price.
Bryan also helped us buy and sell our second home and there are a couple points that exemplify our high recommendation. The purchase negotiations got fairly complex, tense and almost forced the parties to walk away from the deal. Bryan knew we wanted this house, stepped up to work out a deal with the sellers’ broker and got us the house (including the installation of a new roof at seller’s expense). Six years later, careers moved us across the country and we turned to Bryan to sell our house. We had to list our house in late fall/winter and had a short timetable to sell the house so we could purchase a new home in CA. We moved to CA before our house was sold, entrusting Bryan with our home in Virginia. Bryan smartly set the selling price to garner multiple offers and pushed negotiations that allowed us to purchase a home in CA ahead of schedule.
Along the way, we became friends with Bryan. We have recommended Bryan to many friends without hesitation and he has helped all of them in their home buying/selling process. He would be a smart choice for anyone – first home buyer to sophisticated buyer.

Why Applying Unsecured Loans for Bad Credit is Considered to Be a Smart Move?
Judging the current scenario, where the cost of living has drastically increased, there are bound to be financial problems. At the same time, there has been a slight increase in the number of people affected with bad credit. Because of the limited resources, making timely repayment of the installments will always be a problem and this in fact is one of the chief reasons for people having low credit score. A low credit score is not conducive, when it comes to acquiring monetary assistance. However, with unsecured loans for bad credit, the same individuals can now attain quick funds, with complete ease, irrespective of the circumstances.
The lenders offering the loans do overlook the credit history, while releasing the funds. Besides, with the loans being unsecured in nature, deriving the loans will never be a problem, since there is no need to involve any collateral. This of course results in quick approval of the loans and enables the applicant to attain the funds, without having to undertake much of any risk. Because of the presence of large number of lenders, accessing the loans doesn’t seem to be much of an issue.
Unsecured loans for people with bad credit is crafted with the intention to offer monetary assistance. However, when it comes to sourcing the actual funds, the applicant should make it a point to make a comprehensive research. On the other hand, before applying for the actual loan amount, making an assessment of the expenses incurred does help to source the exact amount. As for making effort to repay the installments on time, it will then help to improve the overall credit score.
More or less, with unsecured loans for poor credit, the funds attained helps to retain the monetary freedom. But for the sake of the loan applicants, it is of utmost importance to utilise the funds on the basis of the need and repaying ability.

Only 34% of Indigenous Year 5 students in very remote areas are at or above national minimum reading standards, compared to 95% for non-Indigenous students in major cities, according to the 2017 National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).
The situation is improving but there is still a long way to go and the challenges are immense.
Apart from the historical, health, social, and educational disadvantage issues, many remote communities don’t have many, if any, books. Most of the remote communities the Indigenous Literacy Foundation work with report there are less than five books in family homes.
Our approach to raising literacy levels starts at a community level with Book Supply. Appropriate quality books are gifted to organisations operating in remote communities.
This money will go towards improving literacy in remote Indigenous communities where for every $300.00 will allow the purchase of 40 books or funds can be used towards community projects.

[Monday, 21 September 2015 –Asuom, Ghana] — The weekend is behind us and through six separate ministry venues we have been able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with combined crowds of 2,550 individuals. Today all the schools are on holiday and thus prevent us from beginning our work on school campuses. By God’s grace we will be conducting four cinema crusades tonight and start in the schools on Tuesday. Although this was a surprise I am reminded that … some things never change.
Everyone continues to do well and is working without complaint. I had a long meeting with national director, Pastor Sammy Lartey today and he told us that he was working to coordinate combining all of today’s planned schools into the schedule for the balance of the week. Please pray for God’s guidance in this process. Although it was frustrating … some things never change.
The only noticeable glitch in the ministry thus far has been with the breaking of a universal joint in one of our Land Rovers on Sunday night. We were able to get the team members back to the compound and make contact with a friend in Accra (5 hours away) who is coming today to make the repairs. It continues to amaze us how God protects us and provide for us. Continue to praise God with us for His incredible mercy and grace. I am thankful that … some things never change.

One of the sure signs that spring has arrived is when the beautiful yellow forsythia bushes begin blooming throughout the neighborhood. The bright cheery color makes me think of warmer weather that is on it's way.
You don't have to wait for them to blossom outside to enjoy the beauty, though. Forsythia is one of the easiest flowering branches to force to bloom inside the house during the colder months.
Flowering trees and shrubs set their buds for the following year after dropping their leaves in the fall. They need a proper cold period of between 6 to 8 weeks in dormancy before they are ready to be brought indoors to bloom. In many areas, this means that they can be pruned from the bushes as early as January.
I'm a bit late with this post for many of you in warmer climates. But because of the extremely cold winter, the bushes in my area are not close to blooming yet so it is still possible to force them indoors. They will actually blossom faster now than if they were cut in the dead of winter. The length of time it takes for them to bloom depends a lot on how close it is to their normal blooming period.
Add the branches to water that so warm that it is almost hot. The warm water opens the pores of the branch and allows it to draw in the water much faster. Be sure that any blossoms that are under the level of the water are removed. Typically it will take about two weeks until they are in full bloom.
The flowering forsythia branches can last up to three weeks if they are in a room that is not too warm and stay out of direct sunlight. Changing the water regularly also helps for the flowers to stay intact.
This is such an easy and inexpensive way to bring a little pop of color and spring into your home. I'm on my way out to gather some branches right now.
Is this a trick that you've tried in the past?

Do you ever miss the days of when your mom used to pack your lunch? There were always creative little snacks. Sometimes it was surprising how you had everything you needed in the lunchbox to keep you satisfied. There was something sweet, salty, chewy, smooth, etc.
Why can’t hiking food be as delicious as regular food? The truth is, you can have just as much variety and deliciousness in your hiking food as you do with your regular fare, but many people just go for the typical choice of jerky. There’s nothing wrong with jerky, of course. It’s lightweight and gives you a boost of protein when you are expending a large amount of energy. But it can get a little boring if that’s what you turn to all the time.
Here are some other snack items that you can dress up to be more exciting and that will get you through a long rigorous hike. You’ll be sure to find at least one thing that you like on this list.
Okay, trail mix is a pretty obvious choice. However, the mixes that you can buy in the store aren’t always the most exciting. How many hikes have you been on where all you end up eating is the chocolate candies in the trail mix?
Or worse yet, how many hikes have you been on where someone else at all the chocolate pieces and left you with peanuts and raisins?
It’s not a great spot to be in.
However, if you just buy all the ingredients yourself for your own customized trail mix, then you don’t need to even worry about being left with the parts that you don’t like. You know that store bought mixes put way more raisins in than anything else anyway. Who wants to spend more money on a mix that you’re getting cheated from?
A great trail mix has something crunchy, soft, salty, sweet, fiber, protein, and sugar. Of course these categories can overlap, and the sugar doesn’t have to be added sugar; it can be natural sugar from fruit, but it is important to have that in there when you’re hiking because it gives you a boost of immediate energy.
There are lots of Recipes for protein balls on the internet. So many people use them because they are lightweight and they are very filling for how big they are. They are a great option for healthy and efficient snacking, which is exactly what you want when you are out hiking. Here is one of my favorite recipes for these protein balls.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and mix. Then add all the dry ingredients except the chocolate and stir until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Form into 1” balls. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can store these in the fridge to keep them for longer, but they will absolutely be fine at room temperature for a couple of days. This makes them a great camping and hiking snack.
Another great option for hiking snacks are energy bars. There are literally dozens of flavors and brands to choose from. It’s amazing; each time I go into the store it seems like the protein bar section of the aisle just gets bigger and bigger. Of course, we all have our favorites, and you really have to try a bunch to determine what ones you like. I’d suggest getting a variety pack if you are new to energy bars, or you can buy a bunch of single bars as well.
There are lots of vegan, dairy free, gluten free options out there, so these could quickly become a favorite “anytime” snack.
Please tell me I’m not the only person who eats nut butter straight from the jar. I love all nut butters, but especially peanut butter, and the great thing about it, is that it is a great source of protein when you are out hiking. Your muscles need to recover and a great way to help them do this, is by giving your body protein.
There are individual packages of all natural nut butters in your local grocery store’s organic section, but you can also make your own. Just put as much peanut butter as you want in a resealable bag and push it toward the corner. When you are ready to eat it on your hike, just cut or rip the corner and squeeze right into your mouth.
In fact, if you make your own, you could consider putting in some other add ins like a fudge swirl, chocolate chips, or strawberry jelly just to keep things interesting. The only downside to this snack is that it makes you really thirsty.
Granola is a great snack for on the go. It is dry and lightweight and it has a lot of great nutritious attributes. Store bought granola might not be as healthy as homemade, but it will do in a pinch, if you don’t have time to make your own.
One thing to remember about granola is that it is really dry, so you might want to add in some things to add a little bit of moisture. You can add some things like yogurt bites, fresh fruit, or dried fruit to your basic granola to give it a little more life and make it easier to eat.
The sky is the limit with hiking food. If it isn’t too perishable, then bring it along on your next trip. You don’t have to stick with the same options that you always do. But even if you do pick a traditional snack, jazz it up with your own additions. Eating should be fun and fulfilling, so make some snacks you can look forward to!
