A friend of mine made me aware of a new article about The 7 Biggest Dick Moves in the History of Online Gaming and noted that #5 on the list was Despawn of the Sleeper (EverQuest). Hey, I remember that. I showed the article to a couple of friends who remembered back in 2003 when I opted to spend 4 hours or so sitting in front of a computer rather than take up the offer to go to a bar and hang out with friends that I hadn't seen in a while, and some of them noted that the article only gave half of the story. Wikipedia's EverQuest article removed the part about us actually killing the Sleeper (I added it back in with references), but I remember back in the day when they had a dedicated article about Kerafyrm, that eventually got merged into the main EverQuest article. This got me wondering what remaining info and insights on the encounter still existed on the internet. So I went around and collected some of them, and when the pages were long gone, I went to archive.org to look for a capture. There was a Sleeper Revisited post I made several years back that had a bunch of links, but most of them are dead. Here's a list for posterity's sake: One of the most informative sites about the Sleeper, The Shadowknight's Den On November 17, 2003, those same 3 guilds returned to Sleeper's Tomb with GM consent and monitoring, and offically re-awoke, and killed the sleeper using the same tactic as the previous battle. The battle lasted a total of about 3 hours, involved well over 1000 rezes and had an attendance of nearly 200 people. The corpse lasted 30 seconds as it held no loot. The strategy used (as I have been lead to believe) was to forgo the old "Main Tank" method and simply have a truckload of clerics rezzing everyone who died who would then loot up, and rush in to die again. With such a strategy, many people suffered numerous deaths losing large portions of their level even after all their rezzes. The sleeper hit for maximum of 6999, quadded, and PROC'd a 20k Deathtouch. In addition he had a 20k Targetted death touch, refresh time unknown, no known range limit (he got people numerous times who were sitting down somewhere). He resisted all spell attempts except Manaburn, and Harmtouch. The fight was pure Range/Melee/Pets, and the Manaburn/Harmtouches when they recycled.

Ascending Dawn's news post: The Sleeper Saga Continues... It's been a fairly controversial 24 hours since Ascending Dawn, Wudan and MIM fought Kerafyrm. After finally deciding to awaken the sleeper the 3 guilds decided to attempt the unthinkable - and kill the unkillable Kerafyrm of Sleeper's Tomb. It's been attempted on other servers with the best attempt getting the anal-invader from hell down to 99% I believe. So it was a fairly certain that we wouldn't succeed... or so we thought....

My revisited post about Sleeper kill. Dave Evans' article on Corante: I saw God and I Killed it. There are two very distint crowds that play games, the 'casual gamer' and the 'hard core gamer' - or at least thats what the gaming industry says. There is probably a third category of 'I want to be a hard core gamer but I'm an adult and have a life'. We'll talk about that some other time. In any event, the casual and the hard core. I consider myself to be fairly hard core, only because I (a) love playing games, and (b) play them a lot. But I saw the true die hards last week, and I saw just how little the gaming industry understands some of them. Almost three hours into the fight, when victory looked possible, he disappeared, violating every rule in the world of Norrath on how a monster is supposed to behave. We thought you understood us better. The fact you let it happen the next night means very little - the point is on that first magical evening when warriors rode off to battle the supreme, you meddled. They thought of something you didn't, something legal by the rules of the game you set forward, and you meddled. In the parlance of the world you created: "shame & ridicule". The Daily Summit article: Shame and Ridicule about how Sony handled the situation. People love a challenge - and many full-on gamers have (an at least slightly) obsessive nature. So 200 players, from the world's top guilds, clubbed together and spent four hours... clubbing the thing to the ground. And they had to do it twice - because the first time Sony couldn't believe what was happening and simply pulled the plug. MMO Crunch's Top 5 Most Memorable Events in MMORPG History. This article has more of the backstory of why we woke the Sleeper in the first place. On November 15, 2003, on the Rallos Zek PvP server, the three top guilds (Ascending Dawn, Wudan, and Magus Imperialis Magicus) assembled over 180 players with the intent to wake and kill The Sleeper. This was in response to an attempt to wake The Sleeper by an Iksar monk named Stynkfyst, who partnered with the largest random-pk guild of the time. Having been a former member of uber-guild Ascending Dawn, he had the knowledge the random pk guild needed to wake The Sleeper. The top guilds did not assemble their forces until word of Stynkfyst's intentions had spread, and it became clear that he intended to wake The Sleeper, forever preventing future guilds from farming the old loot table. Until this point, waking The Sleeper had not been seriously considered by any guilds, as it was believed that waking The Sleeper would make the offending guild's players kill-on-sight to the other guilds of the server. After 3 hours and 15 minutes, at 26% health, Kerafyrm disappeared (despawned). The players talked with the EverQuest Game Masters, and there was a general consensus that a bug had caused the problem, although some suggested (backed by statements from one GM) that higher-ups at SOE had purposely despawned Kerafyrm, because it was not intended to be part of the story. Magnifisyncopathological blog: The Death of Kerafyrm & What It Means They choose to take on a task that if completed, would leave them with an unknown reward. It wasn't even known if The Sleeper could be killed, what would happen if it died, and what the players would get for their efforts. Using 175 characters working for 3 hours results in 525 man-hours of coordinated effort for an outcome that was far from certain. Pretty impressive and a shining display of the power the human spirit will front in order to "do the impossible." Imagine the outcome of unleashing that human potential without restraint, without the roadblocks of taxes, licenses, and paperwork in it's way. A small mention at Total PC Gaming's Top three Fantasy Battles Old Kerafyrm page on Wikipedia. Some other random forum discussions: A fairly recent thread on Project 1999. Saved a local copy of OP's screenshots. Fires of Heaven guild's live thead. EQ2 forums at Sony, also a bit of background info about the event. But as new lands were discovered, the governing guilds of the server weren't around so much to enforce these unwritten laws. Venturing into alter planes of existence and testing our might against the false gods themselves; the pk guilds began to get on a rise. Word leaked out that an infamous pk guild known as "The Curse" had made plans to increase their infamy and awaken the Sleeper; Kerafrym. No, we could not have that. Hastily, Ascending Dawn approached Wudan and Magus Imperialis Magicus to deliberate what we should do about this new information. Our three guilds were constantly reaping rewards and loot from new realms, and the old world was left defenseless in the face of this new rising guild of chaos and destruction! Out of that deliberation, it was decided that we would not allow The Curse to awaken the Sleeper with dishonor. It was declared that the three governing bodies of Rallos Zek should come together, despite any difference we might have with one another, and awaken Kerafyrm so that the server would still be saved of it's honor. It was discussed and decided that not only would we awaken Kerafyrm, but we would also put forth the attempt to kill Kerafyrm. To kill Kerafyrm was to kill the unkillable, thus forever marking our presence throughout Norrath and setting our honor into legend. Slashdot Games KB The most impressive part of the whole thing for me was several guilds on a red server managing not to f.ck each other over long enough to get something done. Even though some did try. On the Ascending Dawn website, there was a comment along the lines of people standing around taking screenshots of other people they hated getting death touched so they could make collages for their screensavers. Had to admit that that made me chuckle. :) General Mayhem lolDrama over at Graffe Wizard forums Brells Serilis Rants, with someone claiming to be one of the GM's during the attempt. No idea how he/she was so drastically off with the head counts. Rumors of Trylun getting "the Dragonslayer" title for killshot weren't true: Safehouse Rogue forum Finally, there's this book written by Peter Ludlow and Mark Wallace called The Second Life Herald: the virtual tabloid that witnessed the dawn of the metaverse, a book about the emergence of virtual spaces from 2007. The book is actually pretty interesting and Rallos Zek and the Sleeper fight was mentioned in several places. You should definitely check it out or at least preview it from Google books. Here are some of the relevant excerpts: Urizenus's termination left Ludlow taken aback, but around the time of Uri's death, an unusual event occured in an MMO called EverQuest that stirred Ludlow's passion to keep fighting what he saw as the good fight. Rather than battling each other, almost two hundred EverQuest players banded together to slay one of the supposedly unbeatable monsters that populated Norrath, the game's imaginary world. It had taken the small army two forays into the lair of the Kerafurm, a fearsom beast also known as The Sleeper - but not because The Sleeper had gotten the better of them on the first try. Sony Online Entertainment, the company behind the game, was watching the first attempt on The Sleeper's "life" and realized that the unusual band of allies were prevailing. But SEO had intended The Sleeper to be unslayable. So when the monster had been beaten down to about a quarter of its strength, agents of SEO reset the game. Deus ex machina - the god in the machine - had come foward to save its "unkillable" beast. In effect, Sony saw it was losing the game and simply took its bat and ball and went home. Take the example of the Sleeper, from chapter 1. When the rival guilds on EverQuest's Rallos Zek server banded together to challenge (and defeat) the unkillable Kerafyrm, they were doing more than just hoping to meet a particularly difficult challenge posed by the virtual world of EverQuest. Their task promised no economic reward at all. What they were doing was contributing something original to the metaverse itself, contributing to a rich narrative structure that encompassed not just Rallos Zek but the entire EverQuest franchise of servers and expansion packs and fan sites and more - a narrative that helps make EverQuest valuable to other players in the same way that the Gold Fiery Dragon Sword of Fortitude does: It helps make the game more fun. "Hey," Koster [chief creative officer of Sony Online Entertainment] said. "There's a student here that was in the battle with the Sleeper." Ludlow's knees buckled at the news. In the early days of the Herald, it was the story of the brave guilds of Rallos Zek that had inspired him, and had served as a metaphor for much of his understanding of the relation between the owners of virtual worlds and their citizens. Koster pointed out the former combatant, who was studying games at Indiana University, and Ludlow introduced himself. He felt it was like meeting someone who had walked on the moon. Ludlow soon discovered there had been a misunderstanding. "I hear you were in one of the guilds that fought the Sleeper on Rallos Zek," he said. "No, I wasn't on Zek," the student responded. "But Raph said you were in the battle against the Sleeper." "I wasn't in it, but I saw it." "I don't understand." "I was a game master. I was in the room when we respawned the Sleeper." ... His heart racing, Ludlow could barely get his question out. "But why? Didn't you realize what you were doing? Why did you do it? How could you do it? Why did you stop them from killing the Sleeper?" The kid took a drink and answered matter-of-factly. "Because, man. Sony told me it wasn't supposed to happen." There was the problem. If virtual worlds continued to be ruled by monolithic, unimaginative corporations that could see no further than the laws of their software, and if we followed along blindly, there was little hope. Even if the metaverse became widely distributed there would be no great victory if people did not think carefully about the rules of the worlds they were creating - if they did not reflect on the values they were encoding into their corners of the metaverse. But some people could imagine another way. The guilds of Rallos Zek could. So could the writers for the Herald. It was true that the Herald had no real power, but it could be a witness to what was happening, and it could offer people an alternative picture of how things could be. It would be up to others to decide what kind of worlds they wanted, but at least the Herald could question the current trajectory of virtual worlds. What the guilds of Rallos Zek had showed and what the survival and success of the Herald had showed was that imagining another way could lead to things being another way. Here too was hope.

When you think about it, surgery is your first step towards healing. It marks the moment joints are replaced, cancers are removed, and improvements and repairs are made. The downside? Normal, but short-term, swelling and pain that interferes with daily living and inhibits recovery. MLD before and after surgery When is the best time to get MLD? Before and immediately after surgery. A short series of 2-3 therapy sessions a week or so before your scheduled operation prepares soft tissues and stimulates lymphatic activity -- like getting the team motivated for the big game. After surgery, therapy supports the performance of your lymphatic system as it runs full tilt to repair and heal. More about this Chronic swelling post-op Surgery and traumatic injuries sometimes cause permanent damage to an area of your lymphatic system (glands, nodes, vessels), leading to chronic swelling called lymphedema. For example, lymphedema develops in about 20% of breast cancer cases involving lymph node dissection or removal. The damage may not show itself for months or longer, but eventually does with persistent or yo-yo swelling. Learn more MLD is your healing plan Benefits of MLD therapy MLD therapy goals include: noticeable pain relief –- even with your first session rapidly eliminating your inflammation, pain and swelling diminishing the look and feel of scars a return to pain-free, easier function and range of motion improved lymphatic system function We liaise with your GP, surgeon and other healthcare team members. As appropriate, we provide house calls and in-hospital visits too. Insurance and service fees What and when is your surgery? Consider MLD therapy when you're getting surgery for: Orthopedics - total replacement or repair of hip, knee, ankle, wrist, shoulder and other joints, ACL repair, rotator cuff repair Trauma - including complicated fractures, fasciotomies and deep lacerations resulting from home or work accidents Cancers - related to diagnostic, preventative and treatment procedures Oral and Maxillofacial - related to reconstruction, head and neck cancer, and trauma MLD therapy can be provided immediately post op, as you're able to attend sessions. We also treat people in the weeks and months following surgery. Waiting lists for certain surgeries can be very long and in the meantime, you could be dealing with pain, swelling and having a hard time getting around. MLD therapy reduces those symptoms. While we won't 'fix' the problem yet-to-be operated on, therapy provides a good level of relief to keep you moving and make your wait seem shorter.

After surprising fans with a pop-up listening session last week, the hype surrounding KOD was on fire. People were so curious about the project that ended up breaking a record. The project received 64.5 million streams in its first 24 hours, and according to reports broke a record on Apple Music set by Drake’s album Views. The difference between the two records is Apple Music is now at over 40 million subscribers vs about 13 million subscribers when Drake’s album was released. Cole has been receiving some pushback due to the messages on his latest album. One of them being Lil’ Pump who decided to respond to Cole’s lyrics on “1985” in a recent Instagram post.

My very lovely and clever friend Ana came up with the brilliant idea of doing a glow-in-the-dark scavenger hunt along with glow-in-the-dark jewelry, makeovers & games. {she's amazing, no?!?} In the interest of full disclosure, I really should mention that the surprise component of the party added an extra element of stress (okay, maybe more like three or four or even possibly five or six extra elements of stress), but even so, it was definitely worth it.

The week before the release of my first novel, the Hachette/Amazon debacle exploded. It was difficult to avoid the pleas from traditionally published authors to boycott Amazon.

I am the responsible Head of Trading running the trading desk as well as the overlay management for Groupama Asset Management. We are trading equities, fixed income, foreign exchange and both listed and OTC derivatives. ​ I am in charge of deploying overlay strategies to introduce automation, announcements workflow and facilitate activities for PMs. The global overlay desk is a hybrid between trading and cost optimisation, to prepare the execution and manage the generation of orders. This team would for example structure how to best trade FX, futures rolls etc. The overlay is separated from the trading desk with management capabilities taking orders from all entities on the asset management side. It is still crucial for the overlay team to work in partnership with the dealing desk to find; better processes for market intelligence, the liquidity available, data mining strategy and further efficiencies for specific asset classes. ​ On the cross-asset trading desk we take advantage of having an overview of all our assets, sharing market content and colour and we create further analysis for example around how the market evolves and correlates signals between asset classes. The trading desk is responsible for execution and it has no capabilities of its own to generate orders as that is the sole responsibility of the PMs. The idea is to position our trading desk as a ‘solution and services’ desk for execution and best execution with technology and trading capabilities. The trading team analyse all signals from the market coming from our counterparties. We produce smart analysis for our PMs qualitative input on market colour, positioning, market sentiment, risk by analysing the derivatives market and market timing. We want to leverage the full value of senior traders for alpha generation in the portfolio management. The ‘alpha trader’ concept is a continuously growing theme within the buy side as we are facing increasing complexity to find liquidity with the fragmentation and we need to deliver smarter answers about the market developments in the short term. To deliver these smarter answers we continuously need to optimise our technologies. It is an interesting job. Some PMs use this smart content more than others depending on the portfolio strategy. The PMs may sometimes have a different view but our intelligence is another tool within their toolbox and it is important for the trading desk to add value outside of just execution and best execution. When the PMs have gained confidence that you have a smart understanding of the market and liquidity sourcing, they give you more flexibility and discretion as they understand that you are doing your best for them. ​ This is in my view of how buy-side trading desks should evolve. It would be a shame not to leverage the intelligence we have on the desk internally. How do you perceive the brokers are differentiating with their high touch services, if at all, now 17 months after the implementation of MiFID II? What is the role of high touch trading in the increasingly electronic market with higher levels of automation and crossing solutions for both equities and fixed income bonds? Starting with equities, the evolution of high touch sales trading is a key question as, the last two years, all the buy side onboarded their algo suites and most of our flow is now traded using algos. With our new technology on the front end, we no longer have the same need for high touch liquidity seeking services compared to the past. Therefore, it is a challenge for the high touch desk to maintain their relationships and stay ahead of their clients with smart advice as they receive less flow than previously. Mid-touch could be one solution for the sell side where they can leverage the algo flow from their counterparties and the buy side can ‘click’ the GUI to empower the high touch desk. This is an interesting solution optimising the capabilities with old-school high touch trading with the latest algo trading. The sell side high touch trader knows their clients and can now advise about how to use the algo suite. The big question is to what extent the buy side will be willing to disclose their algo flows to the high touch desk to offer them the opportunity to source incremental liquidity. The role of the high touch trader is converging into a hybrid role between a CRM (client relationship manager) advisor, as they know the needs of the client and liquidity sourcing by risk facilitation or natural liquidity through their client network. The sell side high touch trader can provide value to their clients with advice on market structure, regulatory changes and to be an entry point as a relationship manager for counterparties. I also see the possibility for the sell side to add value to the buy side with more general consultancy, outside of day-to-day trading, as we have less interaction with their people due to the high level of algo trading. It is crucial for the sell side to maintain the understanding of their clients in terms of evolution, positioning, risk request etc. I think the high touch desks could also play a bigger role in the allocation of risk to their counterparties. They could be in charge of risk allocation helping to allocate balance sheet for their client’s specific challenges. ​ Referring to findings from recent Alpha Trader Forum debates, I can see how some of my buy-side peers would potentially perceive high touch desks operating as some type of “light ECN” creating mega block opportunities as part of their liquidity sourcing activities. The high touch desk would need advice on how to optimally execute such block trades under the current regulatory regime where BCNs are no longer permitted. ​ The evolution of high touch in fixed income is different to equities and more challenging as in the past the sell side high touch trader was a hybrid role between PM and trading desk coverage. Post MiFID II, I saw counterparties started to focus more on the flow than the PM coverage and that was a mistake. If the counterparty does not have PM coverage, it will impair their opportunities to receive the flow as PM coverage is feeding the idea generation that is the basis for every order. We have spent a lot of time explaining to our counterparties that the PM coverage must be maintained with a high level of service. Some counterparties have therefore leveraged the same type of setup as within equities, with some sales traders providing a service to the trading desk and separate sales trader for PMs. It’s important that the coverage evolves within the sell side with more people dedicated to trading topics and at the same time have a sales team working closely with the PMs We need to repair these unintended consequences of MiFID II. The technology innovation is continuing within fixed income may result in the buy side interacting more through algorithms with our counterparties. There is a challenge with the inducement and unbundling regime within MiFID II as the pricing model of fixed income research is unlikely to generate enough return for the sell side. It is less expensive compared to equities which is the likely reason why the sell side concentrate their efforts on flows where they can generate revenue to the detriment of the coverage. While the pricing model for fixed income research may be flawed, as with many, I agree it is not as valuable compared to equities. We still need to figure out how to resolve the lack of high standards within PM coverage. The market practice around primary issuance of bonds are still suffering from opaqueness and manual trading. Are you seeing any highlights toward improvements? ​ We are reviewing and developing our internal process for primary issuance of bonds where we use Ipreo as the backbone for workflow. This enables us to create a faster sequential workflow and order creation for our PMs. Afterwards the trading desk can use Ipreo as a central hub to collect all the market information and details for the issuance including the coverage of the issuance on the day. We are now working on connecting Ipreo to attain full STP with our SimCorp platform as the allocation is still manual in Ipreo. We have already come half-way in front to back STP automation after investing a lot in reducing manual processes between the PM and trading desk systems which has also improved our compliance processes with a unified audit trail. I can already foresee the need to build a system for projects like this where we need multi-platform aggregation capabilities for primary issuance. Initiatives like project Mars, which was driven out of data ownership concerns, creates confusion among the buy side and we see additional primary issuance solutions looming which calls out the need of aggregation. Since IHS Markit took over Ipreo, we have seen a spike in client onboarding and it is working well for us. We are aware of yet another impending solution which cannot be named due to confidentiality reasons, which could be promising with its already established reach to market participants. Have you identified any changes to how the buy-side traders use and various brokers perform with their equity trading algorithms post MiFID II? To what extent do you think these changes are due to technology innovation or enhanced leverage of the new market structure? (Is the algo interaction with electronic liquidity providers increasing in importance?) ​ We see that many sell-side firms are challenged to stay ahead with the phase of technology innovations and cost is the main challenge. There are significant developments within the sell side SOR and introduction of low latency connectivity to respond to the increased market fragmentation, use of periodic auctions and access to ELP SI liquidity. We need a granular review and should tailor our approach to access mid cap, large cap, low and high touch with multiple decision trees to support these processes. We cannot use the same parameters in our SOR for all markets and tailoring the approach is a big challenge as sometimes we would ideally need more data to validate our decisions. Therefore, we need to work closely with the sell side as consultants who need to assist us with adjusting the parameters specific to our firm’s requirements. Mid cap liquidity access is particularly key in Europe which represent a major part of our flow but is sensitive to market impact. We need the smart order router to route the flow to the right venues to avoid signalling and toxicity issues. We leverage TCA and venue analysis to identify which of our sell-side counterparties are staying abreast of the technology race delivering the best performance. We hope that European brokers can also keep up in this costly technology race as we know the US banks have the capability of investing more. We do need strong European counterparties as challengers within the brokers list to prevent an oligopoly which would be undesirable for the entire market. These European banks need to make investments in trading technology to sustain the momentum. With plenty of news around the new equities venue and crossing network services, which innovations do you think stand out as beneficial to the buy-side trading community? Post MiFID II, I have found that “tradeable IoIs” are very useful new alternative tools to access the market. It is interesting to have the option of accessing the balance sheet of the bank. Workflow works very well. Similar to our buy-side peers our objective is to reduce our footprint of execution on the market and our key challenge is to understand where we can find liquidity before having to access the LIT market. Periodic auctions have delivered incremental short-term liquidity and the reversion results look promising. We have reduced our volume participation in the LIT market. In the past we traded in the range of 10 -20% of the volume but now, we are in line and closer with the US market and have reduced our participation to take into consideration the market structure evolution. We are closer to 5 - 10% of volume in Europe. Our goal is to find liquidity through other MTFs with dark liquidity, blotter scraping, periodic auctions and specific flows through SIs before trading on the LIT market. As we still experience evolving trends among the buy-side how they use bond trading platforms, how do you feel the race is progressing between dominant legacy and challenger brands? Has competitive pressure resulted in overall innovation and how do you foresee the competitive landscape to look like in 3 years’ time? ​ My simple view is that increased competition and alternatives are useful. Platforms like “BondCliq”, a consolidated quote platform for the corporate bond market are useful as they create a competitive environment. The result could be a more efficient trading market centralised and organised. This is what we are looking for to improve the pre-trade price discovery and deployed automation. Another platform is “Opendoor Trading”, which intends to offer all-to-all anonymous trading with zero information leakage. I think that anonymous trading is one solution to improve the fixed income market structure and to centralise the market. In Europe we saw a lot of new entrants a few years ago but now there is mainly MarketAxess, Bloomberg, Tradeweb and Liquidnet which is growing but is different as it is focused on buy-side to buy-side trading. Electronification in fixed income is growing and there will likely be more new interesting participants. Some people define it as “equitification” but I do not agree with that definition as it is still completely different. What was developed for equities is not something you can gold copy into the bond market. The market structures are not comparable with only about 40,000 equities ISINs compared to over a million bond ISINs. ​ Data is crucial and we are still challenged with trying to identify sources for fixed income data and the quality of it. Our traders need better data to produce better pre-trade intelligence for our PMs and to decide on the right trading strategy to optimise the trading process. The buy side have a major challenge finding the right tools to operate in a complex fragmentated market with a lack of liquidity. The value of the alpha trader in the fixed income investment process is relatively similar or more important compared to Small/Mid cap within equity trading. Another issue is how we can review the performance of the execution in bonds. While it is common to trade using the RFQ protocol, it is not always the best way to find liquidity due to the hidden cost of information leakage on the market. Therefore, we need to create a smart logic to divide our workflow between liquid, non-liquid, high touch, low touch, time sensitive and non-time-sensitive. Better data will help us with both our automation needs and improved pre-trade market intelligence for more complex markets. ​ Another interested trend is that the sell side are appointing one person in charge of eTrading across asset classes. In the future I foresee that we may receive a price stream, like within FX today, from our various counterparties. Such price streams could be aggregated to create an order book and smart order routing could deliver automation and optimise the execution process. Only time will tell if the existing platforms will aggregate such price streams efficiently. Trades below €1 – 2 million investment grade could be automated by a sort of order book created by a directly executable price stream. Do you see portfolio trading of bonds with electronic market makers as a viable option? If ‘yes’ – how do you see this interaction evolving? ​ We have met a lot of sell side to evaluate this new process since the beginning of the year. We are very interested about this process as it can be suitable for specific liquidity flows. The increase of passive management, with the ETF ecosystem, and a technology driven approach has enabled this new type of bond trading with additional opportunities to access liquidity to a low cost. The sell side are happy to access this liquidity for hedging and matching some ETF workflow. The remaining challenge is around the workflow as it still does not operate through full STP like you trade on platforms. We have built a specific workflow to send RFQs, collecting and storing the information and to evaluate the pricing from our counterparties. We need the platforms to reshape the portfolio trading as the sell side’s Microsoft Excel templates are not really something we can work with. While we know that electronic platforms are developing it, there are none in production yet. We also need to inquire what extent portfolio trading is suitable for our trading needs compared to other protocols. The PMs are interested in the portfolio trading process for their portfolio adjustments, inflows and outflows and transitions between portfolios. Our job is still to identify the optimal execution process to fulfil best execution requirements and to overcome the challenge of lacking historical data to validate if portfolio trading will be suitable for each portfolio type. Automation and data will reshape credit trading over the coming 5 years and it will be very interesting for buy side head traders to stay in the forefront, updating our systems and analytic tools with these developments. We hear from the buy side that market colour and pre-trade intelligence are two hot areas of interest. How do you see these areas evolving within your multi-asset responsibilities? ​ Our trading desk is a ‘solutions and services’ desk. The solutions could for example be pre-trade advisory for execution, smart content, market colour and bespoke analysis of holdings within specific teams. The buy-side trader’s capabilities are increasingly going to overlap with the sell side as we attain better technology inhouse. The buy side are now empowered to consume the value delivered by multiple technology providers, customising and producing smart content. Something that was exclusively reserved for the sell side in the past. Which areas do you wish the European including British regulators would focus on resolving going forwards to improve the market for the buy-side and their end investors? ​ The primary major issue is that we need consolidated tape for both equities and fixed income, like in the USA, to deliver better analysis to support best execution and to attain a realistic and holistic view of where the liquidity is. To strengthen the European capital market, the regulators need to prioritise the establishment of a holistic view. ​ The second priority would be to improve the transparency of the bond market calibrating the definitions of ‘liquid’ and ‘illiquid’ ISINs as this categorisation is wrong. More bonds should be flagged as liquid to support pre-trade transparency, price discovery and automation. ​ A third challenge is the impending decision on Brexit and how we can continue to trade after a prospective British exit from the EU. We already spent a lot of time in the first quarter of 2019 to be ready for a prospective ‘hard Brexit’ by the end of March. Since then, we continue to consult with our legal team to keep up with any changes but it is difficult to predict the final outcome. We have already migrated all UK counterparties and MTF platforms so we have continuity trading Euro cash assets. There are still OTC challenges remaining. We are following the agenda closely to be ready for the end of October. Ultimately it is a very time-consuming process and we expect the outcome may become even more challenging as we may need to finalise a solution in parallel, with all the other priorities we have.

Don't trust people too quickly, and don't expect others to trust you quickly, either. Trust is developed over a long period of time, and must be earned through the proving of your character in a variety of situations with someone. It can be frustrating when you feel like you've done more than enough to earn someone's trust and yet they don't trust you as much as you think they should. Just be patient. Just give it time. Both your true character and their true character will gradually emerge as you continue to develop your relationship together.

So, let me just start by saying that kuso, in Japanese, means “shit”—and I found myself using much harsher words whilst playing this game! kuso is insane! I am a fan of platformers. I always have been. When I was younger, platformers were my video game bread and butter. I wasn’t always the best at them, but I had an older sister to call on if I ever got stuck. This usually ended up with her hijacking the controller and playing for another hour or so before it was my turn again, but I grew to love watching video games being played almost as much as playing them myself. I am almost certain that the creator of Twitch was a little brother too, but I digress. Regardless of how good you are at platforming, this game will make you shout obscenities aplenty, but in the most glorious possible way! Prepare To Die… The gameplay itself isn’t too complex when you break it down. Basically, you run and you jump. Simple enough, right? Wrong. The pace and placement of the obstacles, the precision required to land on exactly the right pixel at exactly the right moment, and the split-second choices you must make in order to stay five moves ahead of the stage are both rage-inducing and ridiculously satisfying at the same time. Two things save this game from being impossible: unlimited lives, and the ability to put a checkpoint down wherever you want, so that you don’t have to start back at the beginning of the stage each time you die—and you will die… a lot. I personally used a new checkpoint every half screen that I progressed. There really are NO easy stretches in any of the levels. Normally, I am hesitant to play a game with this level of sheer difficulty, as I value my controllers and prefer my walls without holes in them, but in this case, it’s just delightfully infuriating. There’s just such a rush of complete satisfaction when you finally get past a spot that was starting to seem like a programming glitch that simply couldn’t be beaten. Audio/Visuals kuso is another title in the recently growing trend of modern retro-style releases. kuso is pure 8-bit retro deliciousness, proving once again that you don’t need 4k graphics to make an amazing game. The music is spot-on, with an 8-bit industrial/dance OST that syncopates with the movements of the obstacles throughout the stages. This actually comes in very handy when you are trying to time a series of precision platform jumps with laser beams firing from the only pixel on which you can land. The soundtrack is almost reminiscent of the early Mega Man series, which is saying quite a lot! Rage with a Friend Another great feature in kuso is the split-screen local multiplayer mode, where you and a friend play through the stage in a head-to-head race to the finish. Personally, it will require quite a bit more practice on my part before I am ready to attempt a speed run of any of these stages, but for the hardcore gaming folk, this multiplayer mode—as well as the single-player speed run mode—will be an excellent test of skill. There is also a “Hard” mode, but I’ll be honest, I am afraid to try this mode. Maybe one day… Wrapping Up kuso looked fun from the initial gameplay video I watched of it, so I was expecting some solid entertainment value already, but I was not expecting it to be so incredibly fun! Sure, I used every profane word I could think of while trying to remind myself that it was just a game, but then I would complete the level and suddenly feel like a gaming god without rival—always a short-lived feeling though, since the next obstacle course was never too far away from the last, but still! If you have the ability to hone the rage within, lean forward for that +10 concentration bonus, and promise yourself you will not break your controller, then I would recommend kuso to you. I love this game. To quote the creator of kuso, Fred Wood, this game is “a challenging yet fair platforming game, and it's now available on the Nintendo Switch for $5 across the world.” And better yet, It’s actually only $4.99… and worth every penny! Go to the eShop and buy this game right now!

Snuggawumps was Dad Marston’s 25-foot Bertram. The “Wumps” had twin MerCruiser engines and no trailer. Hauling the boat was our last official act of the marina season. This all took place years ago, before our launch ramp was paved, and the parking lot was gravel. The plan was to pull the boat far up the launch ramp, just above the high-water mark, where it would stay for the winter. By now all the main docks and finger piers had been hauled and stacked. The fuel dock and some of the moorings had been brought on shore. The mooring barge and the work skiff were stored in the bushes. The only thing left was the Snuggawumps. Dad had built a wooden cradle for the boat that we pushed down the launch ramp at low tide and weighed down with cement blocks while we waited for the tide to come in. We used some 10-foot sections of 3-inch iron pipe for rollers. The marina winch truck did the pulling. The long winch cable stretched out over the back of the truck and down to the front of the cradle. Eventually, the tide served and we pulled Snuggawumps into place on the cradle. Then we all went to lunch and waited for the tide to turn again. As it dropped, we used crowbars to lever up the skids and position the steel rollers under. You might imagine this was an “all-hands on deck” event. Every able-bodied guy was either shuffling rollers, helping run the truck or trigging the wheels. Dad took a strain pulling the Snuggawumps the remaining few feet up the ramp to where she would spend the winter. Only the truck tires dragged on the dirt. We used cement blocks for trigs. When all was ready Dad engaged the PTO and the winch turned and slowly pulled the Wumps up the ramp. Our last task was to tie safety ropes to nearby trees. And that was it. Hauling Snuggawumps brought the curtain down on our marina season and marked the end of work for us – until one fall when it sank. It had been a long day pulling docks, it was late in the afternoon and we were getting ready to haul the Wumps – our last task. We were all anxious to be done with the marina for another year; only the tide was wrong, and everyone was beat and Dad said it could wait. We tied the boat to the seawall and let it bottom out on the low tide. We’d be back when the tide was up. But in the morning the Snuggawumps was gone! We couldn’t imagine. Then we spotted the top of the windshield poking just above the water. The boat had sunk. At some point during the night, one of the long mooring cables we left lying in the mud, had become entangled with the boat’s propeller. That cable held the boat down as the tide came in and water flowed in through the scuppers flooding the hull. This was in November and the last thing any of us wanted to do was wade in that cold water, but we had no choice. We waited for the tide to recede, then bailed the boat dry, plugged the scuppers, made sure the cable was out of the way and waited for the boat to float again. The poor old Snuggawumps was a sorry sight when we tugged it up the launch ramp that fall. We’d dealt with the first freeze, bitter cold winds, adverse currents, and frost on the docks and now this. Just what we didn’t expect. By the time we had Snuggawumps all tied down and covered for the winter we were a very tired marina crew. Frequent contributor, correspondent and friend, Randy Randall is co-owner of Marston’s Marina in Saco, Maine and a dreamer and waterman of the first order.

Landfill Gases Found Under Two Pleasantville Schools Will Require Ventilation System April 27, 2021 Public Awareness Landfill Gases Found Under Two Pleasantville Schools Will Require Ventilation System Methane and carbon monoxide have been detected in soil underneath two Pleasantville schools built atop a landfill, but there is no immediate threat to students and faculty, Superintendent Garnell Bailey said. There were no gases detected within the school buildings, Paul Kenny, a licensed site remediation professional who works with Remington & Vernick Engineers assigned to the Pleasantville School District said in an email Tuesday. A complete report from an investigation into the gas issue should be completed in the next three months, Kenny said. After that, the options for mitigation will be considered. “We have not yet designed the mitigation system and are currently looking at a number of options. We anticipate that the mitigation system will consist of a series of sumps throughout the building interiors, with attached pumps to draw the air from beneath the slab through pipes to the roof line,” Kenny said. “Depending on the NJDEP requirements, the pumped air may be treated prior to release to the atmosphere. “ Bailey notified the Board of Education at its Sept. 25 meeting, a day after receiving verbal notification that the gases were detected underneath the Middle School and High School. The district had received a compliance alert from the state Department of Environmental Protection on Jan. 30 saying that a deadline was approaching to hire a licensed site remediation professional, or LSRP, to oversee the investigation and remediation of the site, Bailey said. The screenings are required under a 2009 state law requiring sites with potential contaminants to be tested. The school district has until May 2017 to install the ventilation system, but Board Secretary Dennis Mulvihill said the goal is to begin work on retrofitting the buildings by the coming summer. Kenny said that part of the concern is that methane is a flammable gas. But he said this should not be a problem outdoors because of air flow. In addition to the issue at the two schools, a field house planned for student athletes is now prohibited because no new structures can be built on a site that has contaminants on it, according to the 2009 DEP Site Remediation Reform Act. There is a possibility of using adjacent school-owned land that is not over a landfill, Kenny said. State monitor John Riehman said it may be possible to use areas along the outer perimeter of the field. DEP spokesperson Bob ConsidineCQ wrote in an email that the Jan. 30 notice received by the Pleasantville School District was sent to thousands of owners of remediated properties. The 2009 act established the LSRP as part of an overhaul of the state’s site-remediation system. Owners of properties on remediated land prior to Nov. 4, 2009, had until May 7 to hire one. Both the Pleasantville Middle and High schools were built above a landfill in 1996, Bailey said, explaining that the landfill consists of materials such as construction debris, concrete, stumps, tree limbs and trash. “We have no record of this site ever being a landfill and it is not on the DEP’s registered landfill list. Some records did show, however, that it was a former gravel pit. It may have been backfilled with demo debris. If that debris contained wood, that could be a source of methane,” Considine said. In 1997, a DEP study showed a need for creating standards to measure gases and contamination and ensuring a cap of 2 feet was kept between hazardous materials and any building constructed, Bailey explained. “Luckily, ours is 4 to 8 feet above (the landfill),” Mulvihill said. This means that the school was built with a cushion of land well above the state-required cap. The land for the school property had most of the remediation completed, including some capping, but the Board of Education did not file a deed notice with environmental restrictions on the property before going through with development, Considine said. “The DEP continued to ask the school board to follow through on the deed notice. Efforts were made in 2010 to make sure the deed notice was properly filed for contaminants that remained on the site. In 2011, the BOE began trying to resolve those issues and got environmental contractors to close it out.” If the issues had been determined back then and addressed by the developers and architects at the time, the school district would not be facing this issue today, Bailey said. The problem does not exist in areas of newer landfills because piping systems are set up to drain out liquids and prevent gaseous buildup, Gloucester County environmental engineer Brad Summerville, said in a phone interview last week.

In late March 2015, the PCI-SSC released a document that detailed a guideline for Penetration Testing, specifically from the perspective of PCI-DSS Compliance. Penetration testing, especially after the PCI-DSS v 3.0 had become a major grey area for several companies. Personally, I had seen companies grapple with Penetration Testing issues, questions and clarifications that firmly fell within the “I’m not sure” quadrant, which is the worst place to be, with PCI-DSS compliance.I have gone through the guideline (available here) and I have identified some significant aspects of the Guideline that I would like to cover in this article. What’s your Box? An important question in most PCI Penetration Tests we do is “Should this be a black-box test?”. In several cases clients try and push for black-box tests hoping that they would yield less results, consequently ensure less issues that need to be fixed. In a blackbox assessment, the client offers no information related to the targets or the host(s). The Penetration Tester must “figure it out”, identify vulnerabilities and launch exploits against the applications or components on the network. The guideline identifies that Blackbox assessments don’t offer much value to PCI, as they are inefficient from a cost and time perspective. PCI requires that Penetration Testing be done with a white-box perspective or a grey-box perspective, where the client provides information relating to the targets (IP Addresses, Network Diagrams, dummy creds to applications, etc). White and Grey Box Assessments are definitely more effective and efficient. Remember, an attacker has all the time in the world, but a pentester has a specific cost and time goal that needs to be met. Good Move! Authentication Testing The PCI-SSC has specifically mentioned Authentication testing in custom applications. This should really be “Authorization” testing. The Guideline specifies that companies should test custom apps for multiple authentication roles. For instance, if your app has a super-user, admin, regular user, etc. roles, the Penetration Tester must specifically test all roles, especially for Elevation of Privileges. This is especially true in POS applications, where a restricted user (billing clerk) does not have access to cardholder data after the billing, but through specific attacks, if she can elevate privileges, then the application is vulnerable in a significant way. Another area where Authentication Testing is key is in multi-tenant environments. These are environments where multiple customers are hosted on the same server or application. Elevation of Privileges in such environments is critical and the penetration test must validate this possibility. This also means that the client must provide the pentester with credentials to multiple roles within the application in scope. This is a good move, but will significantly increase time taken to perform the test. As a Security Professional, completely agree with this requirement, but I can hear purse-strings tightening everywhere. PA-DSS Apps and Commercial Apps The PCI-SSC has clarified a critical stance on PA-DSS apps. Their view is as follows: “If its a PA-DSS validated app, don’t bother with the app, just test the OS and its services”, essentially reducing the PA-DSS app pen test to a network layer penetration test. Similarly, with Commercial Apps, PCI-DSS requires that the implementation of the app be tested, but not the app itself. I don’t agree with this stance. There are several times, we have found serious “application related” security issues in both cases. And while one may argue that this must be raised as a ticket with developer/company and that must be sorted out through a patch, several companies are notoriously lax in their security updates and patching process. This is a similar story with commercial apps. This would reduce security research and testing on these commercial apps significantly and would reduce the incentive for providers of these apps to improve their security programs. Bad move Test Environments This is a good move. To offset possibilities of disruptions to the production environment, the PCI-SSC has specified that penetration tests can be done on test environments. The findings from this assessment must be validated and deployed against production. While this move is fine, I feel that the implementation of this move in many companies is likely to be highly flawed. Social Engineering This, I feel is a much needed and highly relevant aspect of penetration testing. Recent attacks have shown (Dyre wolf, Sony, etc) that Social Engineering is the start of most deep-rooted attacks and breaches. Therefore, not testing for social engineering is a serious shortcoming of any enterprise security program. Social Engineering is an essential area of penetration testing. we45 has been saying this all along. Great Move! A View from the Past The new Guideline has mandated that the organization must monitor vulnerabilities over the last 12 months. Additionally, the Penetration Tester must also be exposed to the entity’s and the industry’s vulnerabilities for the last 12 months. This is a serious challenge for most companies as they use the “PDF and Excel” way of managing pen tests. This move necessitates for a solid Vulnerability Management Platform like we45’s VME and Leanbeast. Such solutions provide a clear, query-able view of vulnerabilities and exploits over the past 12 months.

Leah Brunner is only in the infant stages of her development as a rugby player but the 18-year-old Notre Dame star has already made an impression. Brunner took up the sport in Grade 10 but has already competed at the national level and trained with the Rugby Canada U18 Development Team. She played for Team Alberta at a National 7s event in Vancouver last year, coming home with a bronze. “I don’t consider myself as good in 7s as 15s, and while I didn’t play as much as I would have liked it was a great experience,” said the Red Deer Country resident, who not only plays for the Notre Dame Cougars but for the Red Deer Titans Rugby Club. She drew the attention of Alberta coaches and scouts while attending a 7s tournament. “They invited the top 15 players to their camp and cut it to 12,” she said. She also drew the attention of the national coaches while attending a 15s tournament and attended the first two Development Team camps. “I was about the same age as most of the girls there, but didn’t have as much experience, so I wasn’t invited to the third camp when they cut down … but that’s fine. “It was a chance to see where I stand.” The five-foot-seven, 150-pound Brunner sees herself as a physical player, who has good speed and is willing to play in any role. “In 7s I play open side flanker, while 15s I’ve played forward and back.” Brunner felt the reason she was invited to the Canadian camp was that she’s good at chasing the ball off the kickoff, strong defensively and has good speed. “What I still need to do is work on the basic skills, especially passing the ball off my left hand. It’s something I will continue to work on.” Brunner got into rugby because she enjoys the physical side of the sport and the “tackling”. “I don’t have super great hands, so it seemed like a good fit for me,” she said. She joined the Cougars before attending the Titans camp. She played in the Titans flag program and has reached their Central Elite program. I fact she enjoyed rugby so much she decided to give football a try in Grade 11. “A friend was playing and I always wanted to play so I decided to do it,” explained Brunner, who played corner on defence. “I liked it, but being a girl I was always behind the guys. I didn’t play that much, so I only went out that one year.” But she continues to grow as a rugby player and hopes to play with the provincial Wolf Pack team this year. “They will pick their team in late July or August and play at the Canadians,” she said. She also runs cross-country and competes in the 200, 400 and 1,500-metres for the Notre Dame track team. Last year she won the top aggregate at the Central area championship and qualified for the provincials in the 200m and 400m at the zones. “But last year the track and rugby provincials were on the same weekend, so I stayed with the rugby team,” she said. “This year they changed the dates so I could do both and I really hope to qualify in the 400 for sure. Last year my time in the zones would have placed me fourth at the provincials.” She did compete in the provincials in Grade 10, finishing a solid eighth in the 1,500m. When Brunner isn’t on the pitch or competing in the track team she’s competing in long-distance horse races with her horse Hawk, who she’s had since she was 12. “There are two competitions you can compete in, either endurance or track,” she said. “Endurance can be from 25 to 100 miles and comes down to the best time. Personally I like track where you start with 300 points and lose points depending on your time. We run the 50-mile events and you get eight hours to ride.” The track events is run in loops in the country with veterinary checks also involved. Last year Brunner and Hawk competed, and finished in six events. “The previous year Hawk came up lame and we didn’t finish as often,” said Brunner, who will compete in her first event on the May long weekend this year. Down the road Brunner hopes to be a police officer, but indicates she will likely take a year off before making a final decision. But one thing she won’t do is drop rugby. “I hope to play as long as I can,” she concluded. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate,com.

A belated blog post I’m afraid! However, I have been busy creating and working away and with the Stroud Valleys Artspace weekends coming up I will have a whole range of artworks, drawings, sketchbooks and cards for you all to enjoy. More details can be found on the Stroud Valleys Artspace website or by clicking the online directory There will be 102 artists opening their studios for the Weekends 6th-7th and 13th-14th May (including me!) and we’re all hoping for some glorious weather and lots of visitors. If you can’t make it to all the artists studios (there are quite a lot..) then why not come to the taster exhibition? The opening night is this Friday 5th May 6-8pm in 39 Kings Street, Stroud and the exhibition continues the 6th-14th May. This will showcase a piece of work from every artist exhibiting for the two weekends, to give you a flavour of all the art that is buzzing in the Stroud Valleys. This last month of my painting practice has had a ‘plein air’ feeling to it. Sometimes when I come across an old sketch or painting, I can distinctly remember whether it was painted outdoors or from a photograph, so I wanted to rekindle the looseness and freshness of my mark-making that would hone my artistic voice. Working from life is such a challenge as it really exposes your artistic ‘handwriting,’ such as the marks, dots, scribbles that you use to symbolise the observed subject. An intense week spending time drawing and painting on the coast of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, got me to think about honing the intentions of my artworks and think about my mark-making, whilst having a cold slap in the face from the icy wind and being cast a spell by the sea mists. Sometimes the light was so fleeting and transitionary, I often had the sense it felt right to just stop painting and let the artwork remain as raw as the subject was. Aside from my plein air work, I also had the urge to capture some of the Roman fragments I had frequently photographed during my trip to Rome. At the time, I was also playing around with some collage and liked the idea of tearing up a complete image to make a new composition, and I felt that the was naturally done by the museum curators fixing all these fragments together to explain something about its original state. Whereas the archeologist might look at all these fragments and clearly establish that it was part of a fresco, I feel they are just as interesting in their odd array in display cases. I often look at the fragments and try to make sense of the story or era that they come from through paint. A few weeks ago I finished my intensive four day paper making course at Bath College, taught by Elaine Cooper, who learnt the Japanese craft of paper making for 10 years in Mino, Japan. I had attempted paper making at home before, reading a few books on it and having a go with recycled paper, kitchen blender, and a crudely made mould and deckle, but I was sincerely disappointed with the results. Having failed at that I thought I must give it another go…under instruction! And what pleasure I got from the course! I learnt both the Western style of paper making, using a metal mould and deckle with cotton fibres, to the (difficult) Japanese method with a bamboo mould and deckle with Kozo fibres. It was so useful for me to learn by the true master -everything was taught from how to make a strong sheet of paper by moving the mould and deckle (in a certain way) to knowing the right consistency of pulp to water. Quality paper making can only be achieved by fully knowing the fibres that you are using. I decided that my final project (which we did on the last day of the course) should be a series of handmade books inspired by the theme of nature and the materials that I used throughout the course. I love both the natural patterns of nature and its imperfections. Rather akin to the concept of ‘wabi-sabi,’ I dropped natural fibres into my paper mixture to achieve random effects. I also enjoyed using the skill of lamination, where I can layer in leaves, or other material, in-between the layers to make one single sheet with interesting textures. Above are my books, soon to be finished, bound with linen thread, and hopefully I will be inspired to write and draw into them. This is a rather beautiful video that shows the Japanese process, from collecting the raw plant material to making beautiful paper: I returned from my few days immersed in paper making to catch some of the beautiful sunlight that April has offered. It has given me a taste of summer! A few smiles from my neighbours who see me clamber over the stile for the fields in my painting smock, portable easel, palette and brushes. I often find inspiration just around the corner from home, being so lucky to be in the countryside, and means I can have a tea break too! This snowdrops piece is now finally finished. It needed a lot of attention to give layers of paint for the effect of frost and snow between the grasses. Again, having the looseness of the brushwork becomes more and more important to me, as it breathes life and energy into the subject, and sometimes I feel the energy of the subject fluttering in the wind or changing position. A busy week ahead for me as I get the studio tidy and presented with all my work for -not just one- but two open studios weekends! Really excited for this event and hope to see some familiar, and hopefully new, faces at the exhibition opening night this Friday and in my studio over the next two weekends.

While you’re pondering what to have for lunch, remember that Saturday, October 24th, The Smithsonian will host a Food History Festival at The National Museum of American History. What is a Food History Festival? Well, expect lots of live cooking demonstrations (innovating salsas and guacamole or Oaxacan cooking, anyone?), book signings from authors of a culinary persuasion, agricultural displays, hands-on activities at the Spark!Lab and the Victory Garden, and a few film screenings and discussions. The documentary film, Farmland, following six young American farmers looks to be interesting. Check out the full schedule. Even if you don’t like food (please, you love it), this still affords you the excuse to visit The National Museum of American History once again!

The four pieces all consist of material taken from a screen recording of the episode Coral Reefs from the largely successful show Blue Planet II. The episode was recorded from a free online portal, resulting in sound and pictures of a lower quality than what could have been obtained from purchased files of a higher quality. This became the decisive factor pro the self-allowance, in consideration to the process of reediting sound and pictures already creatively dealt with. Our understanding of the ocean has fundamentally changed. And our understanding of human impact on the ocean has fundamentally changed as well. Never before have we had the awareness of the condition of the ocean. Marine scientists around the world call out for the need of a healthy ocean and predict that without any prospects of an ocean gaining strength, humanity is doomed. That’s why many would argue that the timing of the successful series of Blue Planet II is just right. Because in order to save the ocean we need to act now and collectively. But one would argue that in order to provoke any radical global action on the matter, the entire global community needs to be able to relate to what is at stake at first hand. We may as individuals only have experienced a fraction of a single percent of the world’s ocean, despite it covering 70 percent of the planet’s surface. It is such an unknown element to most humans, that we don’t necessarily relate to it. But by immersing people into the incredible, colorful and characterful world of the different oceans, they would perhaps begin to feel a closer connection to them. One might even see them as an extension of our world. It is clear that in order to make the viewers relate to what they see, they have to be presented with a good story. Through new and old stories viewers follow an animal in its fight for survival. But with the help of newly developed and highly advanced technology, we as an audience come much closer to the animal. We are therefore being presented to many of new angles in animal behavior, and by that also many of new dimensions in storytelling. These new types of storytelling appeal to the viewer’s personal perspective and thereby create a feeling of empathy. An indispensable tool to help the viewer relate to the story, and by that the animal and the ocean, is the tool of sound. Dealing with an unknown world, adding a somehow relatable and recognizable soundscape to the moving pictures, makes it easier to place the visuals in a context. A constructed context of course, but never the less a context. A classic example of this would be the mediated relation between humans and dolphins on one hand, and humans and sharks on the other hand. Whenever we as viewers are shown recordings of dolphins, the soundscape added to these recordings will indicate, that dolphins aren’t to be feared. Whereas when we are being presented recordings of sharks, it is often with an added dark and terrorizing soundscape to it, giving us the impression that sharks are animals to be feared. Through the use of sound, we therefore relate to different types of animals. In the episode Coral Reefs we are met with great varieties of animals and their stories, which all are being presented through impressionistic soundscapes. In the piece Blue Planet Sounds the soundscapes of Coral Reefs are firstly categorized in four variations and then edited in new outcomes of composition, still related to its given categorization. The four sound pieces Dark, Light, Pheno (phenomenal), Mys (mysterious) indicate through their titles which purpose each soundscape has, in consideration to the audience’s state of mind. Each of the four sound pieces are experienced through specific visuals. The visuals are an outcome of a layering of all the original videoclips where each categorized sound was presented. The video segments vary in length, so that it becomes a constantly changing performance of floating, gliding, dancing and charging animal movements. These visuals are seen through the outline of four specific fonts, with each font presenting one of the above-mentioned categories. Each of the fonts have been made in aesthetic consideration to specific movie posters, from movies which manifest themselves in an ocean setting. The chosen movies all narrate life in the ocean in different ways, and by that presents scenarios of how we as humans may relate to life in the ocean and the ocean in general.

Salt Lake City, UT—This afternoon, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led the funeral services for Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Utah’s longest-serving Senator. The funeral included eulogies from U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, former Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR), Orrin G. Hatch Foundation Chair Scott Anderson, and the Senator’s children, Brent and Marcia Hatch. Hundreds of individuals—including members of Congress, federal agency officials, and leaders in business, law, academia, and politics—traveled to Salt Lake City from all parts of the country to bid farewell to one of the most prolific legislators in American history. At the conclusion of the ceremony, there was a 21-gun salute and flag presentation to the Hatch family.The funeral procession then traveled to Newton, Utah, where the Senator will be laid to rest. Following are several tributes from close friends of Senator Hatch: “Orrin was a master legislator,” said U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. “Sometimes that meant shepherding bold conservative victories—from his epic fight against Robert Byrd and Big Labor during his first term, to the historic tax reform he quarterbacked in his last. But Orrin also championed bipartisan efforts to lift up the vulnerable, including his leadership on the Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and today’s National Suicide Lifeline. He took his legislation to the same place where our Savior took his ministry: To the margins. To the periphery. Serving ‘the least of these.’” “What happened to Orrin Hatch after our first meeting 50 years ago is well known and already reviewed,” said President Oaks. “I add only our longtime friendship and frequent contacts and work on subjects of common and public interest. Now, born two years apart and tracing our ancestry through the same small Utah town, Orrin and I come together for what I like to refer to as Orrin G. Hatch’s graduation from mortality, with highest honors.” “With Orrin’s passing, the work of his Foundation is just getting started,” said Hatch Foundation Executive Director Matt Sandgren. “We have a charge not only to preserve the Senator’s memory but to ensure that his legacy of innovative policymaking and legislative leadership continues to have a lasting impact on the public discourse for decades to come. ‘Civility and solutions’ were the ideals that underpinned Senator Hatch’s service and that guide our mission today. We will make sure that the Senator lives on through the first-class scholarship, policy work, and educational programs offered by the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation.” “Today we mourn the passing of a great American and a great Senator,” said Hatch Foundation Chair Scott Anderson. “But he was more than that. He was a bridge-builder, a collaborator, a sports enthusiast, a songwriter, a man of God, and a cherished friend. We will miss his physical presence, but his spirit lives on and his legacy will continue to impact people through the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation. We love you, Senator Hatch.” To learn more about Senator Hatch’s remarkable life and legacy, visit the Hatch Foundation’s website at orrinhatchfoundation.org.

Inspired by the great mediterranean civilizations, and representing Monaco’s finest in hosting and savoir-vivre. HISTORY The Manufacture de Porcelaine de Monaco was founded in 1972 by Erich Rozewicz with the encouragement and support of His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III and Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco. Erich Rozewicz was living in France at the time, consulting Porcelain engineer and painting in his free time. When exhibiting his personal work in Paris in 1971, he received an unexpected and improvised visit of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier, which later asked him if he wouldn’t be interested to build a company to manufacture luxury porcelain in Monaco. From the very beginning, the Manufacture de Monaco has produced luxury quality porcelain distinguished by being very white, hard and translucent. This quality is achieved thanks to the unique skills of specialist craftsmen, and through a very critical selection of each finished article. The original decorative designs were inspired by the rosettes and mosaics found in the Palace of the Prince, works of art reminiscent of the civilizations of the Mediterranean Sea.Luxurious and refined gift-articles, decorative accessories and, of course, a variety of tableware are appreciated by connoisseurs from all over the world for their unique style.Erich Rozewicz has for ever searched new ways to improve on the quality and beauty of his products.After Erich Rozewicz’s passing in 2000 at the age of 81, his son Joram Rozewicz took charge of the company, having spent many years acquiring his unique savoir-faire. The Manufacture de Porcelaine de Monaco can now look forward to perpetuating its tradition of creating beautiful pieces of porcelain. In 2006, Joram Rozewicz approached Swarovski to create a new line of table top porcelain exclusively decorated with Swarovski crystals. Pure designs create a contemporary and luxurious environment for a resolutely festive table where porcelain turns into jewelry. After their immediate success of the first white collections, new patterns with contemporary colors have been added to match with modern living styles. These incredible collections include presentation plates decorated with 1440 crystals each! (Stardust and Crystal Wedding series). New designs and color combination are added as customers request new ideas. In 2015, we introduced a new line of 100% hand made tableware, fully customizable in small quantities. The so called M collection was originally intended for the creative Chefs in high gastronomy restaurants who like to present their dishes on equally exceptional dinnerware. Manufacture de Monaco is appointed purveyor to His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco, also providing official gifts to the Palace, the Monaco Government and many more. A retail outlet opened in 1988 in the Metropole Shopping Center in Monte-Carlo. The store carries exclusively Manufacture de Monaco’s porcelain creations and operates bridal registries. Additional brands carried by the shop include European premier names of luxury tabletop, stemware, linen and giftware, including such well-known brands as Fabergé, Moser Cristal, Artel, Valombreuse, D. Porthault, L’Objet, and more. We also specialize in boat outfitting and interior decoration with custom made tableware, silverware, crystal and embroidered tablecloth.

Official Synopsis: England, 1810: When Lady Gabriella Banning receives word that her half-brother, the Earl of Wickham, has died on his tea plantation in Ceylon, she faces the reality that she and her younger sisters, Claire and Elizabeth, are suddenly penniless. The family’s riches will pass to the next male heir — a distant cousin — and the Banning sisters are doomed unless Gabby thinks fast. Which she does. Pretending that Marcus is still alive, Gabby arranges beautiful Claire’s London season. She’ll keep up the pretense just long enough for Claire to marry a fabulously wealthy nobleman. But when a handsome gentleman arrives at the door and claims to be Marcus, Gabby’s plan backfires. For if she exposes this mysterious stranger’s deceit, she exposes her own. Bound by secrets and lies, Gabby and the roguish adventurer strike sparks off each other — and soon London society is abuzz over the scandalous pair of “siblings” who appear to be falling in love… This was my first read by Karen Robards. Scandalous is the first in a trilogy about The Banning Sisters, three girls who all share the same father but different mothers. The first installation is about Gabriella, the eldest. She’s a take-charge kind of woman, filling the shoes of their parental figures (dad is dead, may the heathen rest in peace; mom(s) are deceased as well) and taking care of her younger siblings. She commits herself to securing a coming-out for her next oldest sister, Claire, and writes to her half-brother, Marcus, the Earl of Wickham, for his permission to take the family to London. Marcus receives the letter and agrees, but he’s suddenly shot dead on his tea plantation in Ceylon. Gabriella’s servant returns to her with news of their brother’s untimely demise as well as his letter of agreement, and Gabriella is faced with a dilemma – if she announces the news of her brother’s death the earldom will pass to their stuffy, cruel cousin; but if she hides the news she can take her sisters to London and secure a future for Claire. Gabriella decides to take a gamble, and they pack up their things and set off to London. Gabby keeps the secret of Marcus’s death between herself and her servant. You can only imagine her shock and mortification upon arriving in London to find the Earl of Wickham in residence. You know, because HE’S DEAD. “Marcus” is, in fact, an imposter and he senses upon first meeting his “sisters” that Gabby knows that something is amiss. What Gabby doesn’t know, though, is that pseudo-Marcus is on the hunt for Real-Marcus’s killer, and he assumed the Earl’s identity in hopes of luring the murderer out into the open. The great thing about Gabby is she has a hell of a temper. And Pseudo-Marcus, hereon referred to as “PM” is a bit of a pompous ass. The banter between the two is funny. Objects fly, including bullets. Of course PM and Gabby fall for each other, but they have to tread carefully because everyone around them sees them as brother and sister. And we all know how “Flowers in the Attic” THAT is. Scandalous was a fun read. It wasn’t one that will stick with me, but I did have a good time reading it. Robards has a conversation-like writing style with her descriptions. I liked that the three Banning sisters were each their own woman, all three encompassing completely different personalities. The most recent release of Robards’ was Shameless, the story of the youngest Banning sister, Elizabeth. I’ll probably pick it up some time in the future, but I’m in no rush to do so. Mandi over at Smexy Books recently reviewed it. What I loved about this book: Gabby is feisty. She throws things. She shoots people. It’s fantastic. What I didn’t like: The virgin premise gets a bit old for me, and this case was no exception. It was well played, however.

Though the return of live music seems to be inching closer to the horizon, the COVID-19 pandemic is still preventing many country artists from mounting tours or large in-person gatherings. For example, Chris Stapleton and Garth Brooks have both recently pushed back the start of their 2021 tour plans, and Kenny Chesney opted to push back his entire Chillaxification Tour to 2022, explaining that he wanted to avoid shutting fans out due to capacity restrictions. But there are some acts who are beginning to find a way to gather in person again, and among them is Dustin Lynch. The "Momma's House" singer announced in October of 2020 that he was planning a three-day Las Vegas pool party called the Dustin Lynch Pool Situation: Vegas, set to take place June 3-6, 2021. The all-inclusive packages for the event — which quickly sold out — include hotel stays, admission to the different events taking place at the party and a COVID-19 money-back guarantee. However, as of March 2021, fans aren't likely to need to use that refund option, Lynch explained during a virtual press event. The singer says he's feeling confident that the Pool Situation will take place as scheduled. "The situation is this: We got a great phone call a week ago," Lynch said in response to a question about the event. "I guess the powers that be at Vegas said, 'This is happening, 100 percent, unless zombies show up on Earth.' So we'll keep our fingers crossed that that doesn't happen. But the Pool Situation is an absolute go." In fact, he adds, he's hoping to be able to open ticketing up to a few more fans as Nevada restrictions relax. "It looks like Las Vegas is actually gonna start rolling back capacity, too, so I think we may even be able to sneak some more tickets here before too long," Lynch relates. "At least, I'm hoping so, because it's sold out." The singer goes on to say that he's looking forward to heading up the event alongside the other members of his Pool Situation lineup, Jordan Davis, Hardy and Brandi Cyrus. Most of all, though, he's looking forward to getting back on stage with his band. "It's gonna be myself and my band's first legit show on the books, and weirdly enough, our last show together was in Las Vegas, for John Deere, before we got the plug pulled," he notes. "So it's great to kick it off in Las Vegas, and it'll be a lot crazier than a corporate John Deere event. We'll be acting a fool. There's no rules at the Pool Situation. We'll just let the buzz dictate how long we play and what we play." Most recently, Lynch released his newest single, a revamped version of "Thinking 'Bout You," this time as a duet with MacKenzie Porter.

TV commercials lend significant credibility to your brand. Even a single commercial helps build trust among your audiences, encouraging people to connect with you. Professional commercial production can be invaluable, and they're surprisingly accessible for local businesses to create. However, to achieve the best results, you need to know how to approach it to get the best results. If you want to learn more about creating commercials that help you excel, the following are some tips for successful TV commercials. Decide on Your Goals The first step to take when producing a commercial is to determine what you want to accomplish with it. In doing so, you'll want to decide on a specific call to action (CTA) that encourages people to complete the desired task. Be sure to choose one particular goal to make your message clear to your audiences. Ultimately, your CTA needs to align with your goal. For instance, you may want people to call your business using a specific phone number, or you may include an address for your website to increase website traffic. Other commercials may encourage people to visit your nearest physical location to boost foot traffic. If you want to achieve multiple goals, you can always create multiple commercials to add variety and further hold your customers' interest. With a far-reaching and varied TV advertising strategy, you can create a commercial that will stand out. Develop Your Script The next step in creating commercials will entail writing a script. Unlike movie scripts, TV commercial scripts must be concise and brief, based on the length of the commercial. TV commercials are typically only around 15 to 90 seconds long, and they also use a different type of format compared to scripts for feature-length films. The goal is also considerably different, as you need to convince audiences that your business is worth engaging with instead of merely entertaining them. A solid commercial script will organize and plan out specifically how you'll achieve your goals. Your script should contain crucial points that inform and win over audiences while staying within time constrictions, which will maximize the efficacy of your commercials. Choose the Face of Your Commercial You also need to consider how you'll represent your business on the screen. You have several options available to you, depending on what you want to achieve. For instance, you can work with live actors or use animation, mascots, or text-based commercials to represent your brand. The representative you choose for your commercials also needs to further your goals as you attempt to appeal to audiences. When selecting a face for your company, try to decide whether you want it to showcase the owner, your employees, people in the community, or someone you hire specifically for the task. Base your decision on which goals you're trying to achieve and what you think will best further those efforts. Plan Your Shots While the script details the narrative of your commercial, a shot indicates the specific shots and how they'll look. A shot list will also determine where to film each shot, whether it will include graphics or whether you need to film B-roll footage. In other words, a shot list is an action plan for your script, so when filming, you know what you need. You also plan out the editing process ahead of time, which saves time during post-production. If you can take the time to develop a shot list, you'll benefit from an even more efficient production process, helping turn your plans into reality with practical guidelines for each shot. Additionally, you'll be able to cut down on costs as you determine what each shot will require to stay within your budget. Conduct the Film Shoot The film shoot involves getting the team and equipment together to shoot the commercial. You can go it alone, or you can work with a production team to accomplish this. However, there are many steps to consider, making a production team helpful in many cases, especially if you want the best results. In planning the film shoot, you need to consider the size of the production, how much time you'll need, how many people it involves, and the type of equipment you'll require. Again, while you may be able to determine this on your own, it can be a hassle, especially when you're in a situation that can't afford any mistakes. A production team has the expertise to ensure you have everything you need to guarantee a smooth process. Use Post-Production to Finish Your Shoot After completing the filming process, it's time to polish the final product during post-production. Post-production involves various processes, such as editing, sound editing, adding graphics, and completing other tasks that put the final commercial together. High-quality post-production will highlight your quality and enhance lower quality to create a unified package. It makes the difference between amateurish or professional-looking commercials. Produce a Winning Commercial with a Resourceful Media Partner Producing a quality commercial involves many moving parts that must properly align throughout production. If you lack experience with commercial production, it often pays to work with more experienced professionals who have the equipment you need. With a trusted media partner behind your commercials, you can benefit from access to the resources and extra help that brings the best results.

There are many different communication tools available at a Communication Shop Item. These tools can be used for various purposes, such as public speaking, job application letters, and networking. The most common communication tools include paper and pen, electronic message boards, voice messaging systems, and social media platforms. Each has unique features that make it the perfect tool for specific situations. For example, electronic message boards are ideal for exchanging information quickly and easily. They also provide an easy way to track conversations so you can stay up-to-date on the latest developments. Voice messaging systems are great for sending quick messages without speaking aloud. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter offer a way to share your thoughts with a wide audience quickly and easily. Communication Tools for Business Communication tools for business can be divided into internal and external. Internal communication tools include email, chat, and task management software. External communication tools include social media, PR, and advertising. Email is the most common way to communicate with colleagues. It’s a fast, efficient way to share information with a large group. Chat allows employees to communicate face-to-face without leaving their desks. Task management software allows employees to manage their work more efficiently by tracking deadlines and tasks. Social media can be used to build relationships with customers or clients. PR helps businesses get their message out to the public. What to Buy For Business When choosing communication shop items, it is important to consider the purpose of the communication tool. For instance, if a tool is used for group collaboration, it may be necessary to choose one with a large screen or speakers. Conversely, if a tool is used for one-on-one communication, it may be more practical to choose one with a smaller screen. Additionally, some tools are specific to certain industries or purposes, such as video conferencing software for businesses. Therefore, it is important to research each type of communication tool before making a purchase so that the right one is chosen for the task at hand. When it comes to shopping for communication shop items, be sure to keep the cost in mind. This is especially important when purchasing software or hardware that may have long-term use. Many times, the more expensive items are worth the investment. Here are a few tips to help you stay within your budget: First, do your research and find products that meet your specific needs. Second, comparison shops online and at local retail stores. Third, find deals on items you may need in the future. Finally, remember that quality does not always equate to the most expensive price tag. Sometimes finding lower-cost alternatives will provide just as good of a result as pricier options. C. Communication Global SIM Card Vs Local SIM Card Traveling abroad means being away from your loved ones for an extended period. You can bridge that gap through constant communication using your phone. The default way of doing this is to activate your carrier’s roaming services. However, the high cost of this service is driving people to look for cheaper alternatives. The two most prominent solutions are the global SIM card and the local SIM card. Both have several things going for them. The former can be used in different countries around the world while the latter is tied to a country but can provide cheaper rates. Read on for a deeper comparison of features: SIM Switching A person who travels rarely or focuses on a single destination may be better served by a local SIM card. Since there are lots of dual-SIM phones right now, just use the other slot for the local SIM while retaining the original one. Enjoy the low local rates. However, those who are moving from one country to another several time will probably want a global SIM card since one of these is enough to cover all of their destinations. They don’t have to keep buying multiple local cards and switching what’s inside their phones. Credit Expiry Another thing to watch out for is the longevity of the prepaid card and its credits. Local cards may expire within a few months. The same is true about the credits. In fact, some prepaid packages can expire within days or weeks. If you are moving to another country, then you will basically forfeit and waste the excess credits that you bought. If using a global SIM, then the credits will continue to stay active no matter where you go. You can budget your usage throughout the whole trip. The card itself will not expire for a long time even if you are not using it. Check the specifics of each card to learn more details. Fixed Number A local SIM will provide you with a local number that enables excellent communication if you have contacts within that country. For example, you might be traveling with a group and you want to stay in touch with them in case one gets lost or goes somewhere else. It’s also good for people who depend on local guides and need to use local services. On the other hand, a global SIM will provide a US number that people back home can call without incurring massive charges. C. Communication VRI Interpreter – A Growing Need In Seamless Communication A VRI interpreter, also known as video remote interpreting (VRI) service, is a telecommunication service that leverages an array of devices, including webcams or videophones that help one communicator offer sign language or interpretation services to a recipient at the other end. The VRI communication process relies on a third party between two communication sides. For example, one person at one end may speak in a language, but the recipient may not understand that particular langue. So, the interpreter (the third party) relays this communication through sign language. Since sign language is a universal language, it can take input from any language and relay it to a party that understands sign language. The interpreter communicates through a video link, which means that it is a live transmission. The interpreter can see the original communicator, and she or he translates their communication as it happens, and relays this to another camera, which sends the feed to an audience that may be of any size. The Original Communication Process with an Interpreter A VRI communicator is no different from an original interpreter who would sit with two people who didn’t speak the same language. When one spoke, the interpreter would understand the feed and translate that in the form of sign language to the recipient. This process would take place live. However, today, with the technology available, this process can help millions who may be sitting hundreds or thousands of miles away. Technologies Used for Interpreting Communication Live With digital technology widely available today, there are very few limits on communication today. There are various types of digital cameras with a sound transmission that have terrific quality. These can be hooked up via an internet connection and transmitted to people sitting far away. Some well-known brands in the market near you have some of the best equipment. A visit to your local market will reveal the extent of the technology available to you. You can also browse some sites to see what all is available online. Some of the online spaces have a wide range of digital devices from a variety of brands. You can explore them all and see which ones are available for the best prices. There are VRI interpreter services offered by individual organizations, and these are mostly professional ones that have been in the market for many years. Their services top-notch, and they have a high success rate with relaying communication. In this age of communication, services of this kind are becoming more valuable, and this industry is expected to grow further. C. Communication There Are IVR Message Examples Use These Simple IVR Message Examples To Keep Your Customers Coming Is your business trying to keep afloat of all the calls you get every day? If yes, you should use IVR Messages. IVR or Interactive Voice Response is a technology that is designed to enable computer software to interact with humans through the use of Voice tone inputs through a keypad. It is a great system that enhances the use of dial pads for identification and transfer of callers to different services or to a call agent who can assist them. IVR plays a vital role in enhancing effectiveness throughout the organization and in increasing sales of a business. Here are some of the best IVR Message examples that you can use for enhancing customer experience in your organization. For Greetings • Thank you for calling ‘XYZ Limited’. If you know the extension of the person you wish to speak to, please dial it after the tone. For Marketing, press 1 For Sales, press 2 To access our service list, press 3 If you wish to speak to a customer service representative, press 0 You should always keep your messages simple and to the point. Look at this IVR Message example for a telephone company. • Thank you for calling “ABC Communications”. For sim replacement, press 1 For confirmation of your voice messages, press 2 To register onto our prepaid service, press 3 For post-paid users, please dial 5 To talk to our next available call center representative, press 0 Your greetings should be very short so that you allow more options to be readily available to your customers. When Your Client Has To Hold The Line Sometimes, clients just want to talk directly to a customer representative. When this happens, more often than not, lines may be busy. Take a look at this IVR Message example that will ensure your clients hold on patiently. • Please hold the line, as we transfer you to the next available agent • Please hold as you are connected to the next available customer care officer If the lines are still busy and the customer is being delayed, you should have an IVR message that explains the same. • All of our call center agents are busy right now. Please stay on the line, your call is important to us • We are sorry for keeping you waiting. Your call is important to us. If you wish to wait, please hold the line. If not, press 5, and we’ll call you right back and hold your place on the line. C. Communication Stay Connected To Friends During COVID-19 The pandemic has forced countries to go on lockdown. Life as we know it is now gone, replaced by the new normal of restricted movement, remote work, and reliance on digital platforms. As we all grapple with isolation with no end in sight, it is becoming increasingly clear that the physical reality is having profound effects on our mental health. Many are feeling lonelier than ever as they do not have anyone to talk to inside their homes. There is nothing beyond casual conversations with neighbors and shopkeepers. While some may be enjoying the silence, others may find that it is feeding their anxieties. The Need for a Virtual Support Network Would you like to stay connected to friends? Although we cannot congregate in the same spaces with our friends, we can use technology to create virtual support networks to help each other out. Digital connections can be a massive lifeline for those who are feeling crippled by the isolation. It provides a sense of normalcy as we can still be surrounded by our loved ones despite their distance. It reassures us that that we have others to hold on to when we need a steady hand. We can also provide the support that others need as we all learn to navigate through this crisis. How to Initiate Conversations Stay connected to friends is an easy thing for some and a difficult one for many. If you have friends that you are regular in contact with, then you will probably have an easy time sending them a message whenever you have something on your mind. However, if you have been estranged with a friend or relative, then it can be awkward to reconnect for the first time in a while. Think about why you want to reach out and what you would like to say. Do you want to check up on their current condition? Would you like to reassure them of your support? Do you want to mend broken relationships? Understand that people are dealing with this crisis in different ways. Some are perfectly happy being alone with their family or even by themselves. They can use their downtime to pursue hobbies or do more work or play with the kids and pets. Others might be in a less than ideal state because they lost their job and are worried about the future. There are also people who dread being at home all the time because they are in a domestic violence situation. Be respectful of others and allow them to tell their stories according to their level of comfort.

Montale's Coffee note is an intense, dark roast facet that is linked to the cocoa bean. Delicious and Stimulating! Intense Cafe is for the expresso drinker, who enjoys sniffing a bouquet of long stemmed roses but doesn't exactly want to smell like one. This is an initial blast of coffee which quickly dissipates to a creamy, chocolaty latte sprinkled with mysticism and sex appeal. The roses are musky and undetectably rose. This fragrance is intoxicatingly inviting and edible but not the marshmallow-sweet but more like the sweetness of raw dark cocoa. Notes: Mixed floral notes, coffee, rose, amber, vanilla and white musk.

It has very intense aroma of coffee and pipe tobacco at the outset. The silage is considerable and it's a long lasting frag, so use with care. The dry down on my skin is a very sweet, sugary scent, pleasant and not cloying. I did over apply the first time, but honestly with pleasant results as a number of women at work stopped in their tracks as I passed and complimented me.

In this ripening time of late summer, I travelled to Nelson and visited an old friend. She's a gardener, and an art dealer, and in her garden I spotted this old seat. There it sits, mellowed by age, rendered even more beautiful than when it was new. 'Just like our friendship', I said. We met on a ship that was sailing from England to New Zealand, just as it crossed the equator. I was returning, with my husband, from my first overseas travel. My friend, a young Danish bride, was immigrating with her Danish/Kiwi husband. We were beautiful couples, eager for adventure, attending summer schools, exploring art, music and literature. The years passed, and the marriages cracked and broke. We two women lived in different cities, but in midlife found each other once more, and the friendship entered a new phase. Eventually both husbands died, and on each occasion we supported one another through the complexities of a second time of loss. Through phone calls and visits my friend and I continue to enjoy the richness of lasting connection. We remember each others's youth, vividly, and even though we now bear the marks of age, our young selves will dance out at unexpected moments. The garden seat was made out of recycled telephone pole cross-pieces. The craftsman cleaned off the lichen and marks of age, and sanded the wood, shaping it into something new. With pride and affection, my friend, who has the ability to sit still for long periods of time, placed it in her wild and rambling garden. And now, lichen-marked once more, it holds the invitation for two old friends to sit and talk about art, family, people, writing, and whatever facet of life drifts into the spaces between. Posted by Juliet at 8:47 PM 2 comments: Anne Ruffell said... What a beautiful old seat - so much character and so much history, it really suits the story of your friendship. It's a moving story. I love the colours in the photos. February 18, 2011 at 7:48 AM Anonymous said... Your post here really called to me, Juliet. The endurance of friendship is such a gift, isn't it? I love the fact that the telephone pole was given a new life through your friend and, through her, a reminder of your lives and their connectiveness. Lovely.

The BCA 13.15 application form can be downloaded from The undersigned hereby confirms that this is a corporation authorized to carry on business in Illinois. In correspondence on the application of the reciprocity treaty with the United States to residents of Vancouver Island, Herman Merivale (Permanent Undersecretary of the Colonial Office) wrote that the granting of the crown by Vancouver Island to the HBC “not only omits fishing, but was explicitly and intentionally omitted.” British Columbia Archives (BCA), Colonial Office Cor- respondence, CO 305/6, 237, Merivale Comments on a letter from committee E. for a responsible federal budget. “Understanding the receiver.” Since the supercommission had not presented a proposal to reduce the deficit, the sequestration took place in January 2013 to avoid the so-called budget cliff. The CBA is an important framework as it seeks to identify the net benefits of a project to society. Add to my list Edit this entry Note it: (3.82 / 22 votes). For fiscal years 2016 to 2021, sequestration was not required, the Office of Management and Budget said. However, this does not mean that public spending or public debt is under control. The Congressional Budget Office forecasts a federal budget deficit of $1 trillion for 2022. Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is a framework used to assess the merits of a particular project for economic reasons. The full form of BCA concerns the meaning of the abbreviation BCA in government in general and in The Law & Legal in particular. The Budget Control Act is a federal law passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama on August 2, 2011. The Budget Control Act of 2011 was enacted in response to the 2011 debt crisis. The BCA`s goal was to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, thereby avoiding the risk of domestic bankruptcy, which was expected to occur on or about August 3, 2011. In addition, the CBA included procedures to reduce the deficit by at least $2.1 trillion in fiscal year 2012 to fiscal 2021. As an employment agent for employers working under the BCA`s collective agreement, the union will send qualified boilermakers and welders to perform the work, including boiler manufacturers who will be assigned as licensed workers. House Budget Committee. “The Debt Ceiling: An Explanation.” The 2011 U.S. debt crisis brought the country closer to default risk before the BCA was enacted to immediately raise the debt ceiling and reduce the deficit. The BCA authorized an immediate $400 billion increase in the debt ceiling, bringing the spending cap for fiscal year 2013 to $1.047 trillion. The BCA also called on a supercommittee to develop measures to cut spending by $1.5 trillion over a 10-year period. The BCA has determined that if the supercommittee does not propose reductions of at least $1.2 trillion by the end of 2012, which will occur over a 10-year period, automatic spending reductions will occur in January 2013. These automatic reductions in expenses are called sequestration. In the United States, there has been a federal debt ceiling since 1917. If the debt ceiling were reached, the U.S. would no longer be able to issue debt and could default on interest payments to creditors, the consequences of which could be late, partial, or missed payments to federal retirees, Social Security and Medicare recipients, and higher future interest rates at which the U.S. could borrow. As a result of the sequestration, budget cuts will continue until 2021 and discretionary spending will be reduced by a total of $109.3 billion. While spending cuts are considered “widespread,” some programs such as Temporary Assistance to Families in Need (TANF) and the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are exempt from sequestration. The full name of BCA is: Bureau of Criminal Apprehension`s. The main category of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is government and the subcategory is Law & Legal.

A few months into my first autumn in Oregon, so much is fresh. My familiars had been the Aspens, the sole proprietors of changing color in the high mountains of Colorado, set against the backdrop of evergreen. Opening my front door this morning for some air, I was happily struck by the perfection of this image. It felt like generosity and invitation. I love this big maple leaf and her way of evoking my childhood autumns. I remember you, Miss Maple! I love your spots. I love how they speak to me of experience, relationship and age as you rest, open, against a piece of firewood. I love the way you settle next to my welcome mat, and the way you invite me down the steps, into the rain and the day, confident, dare I say happy in your decaying presence.

Components of the burette can be categorised as per their types such as Volumetric Burette, Digital Burette and Electronic Burette. Some of the major components of these burettes are: Components of Volumetric Burette: Graduated Tube: It is made of glass or plastic material. A volume scale is printed on a burette wall to read the dispensed volume of liquid. Stopcock: It is used to control the flow of liquid while dispensing. Components of Digital Burette Recirculation Valve: It prevents the loss of reagent at the time of purging by re-directing them into the mounted bottle. Delivery Tube: The delivery tube facilitates the delivery of the reagent beyond the reservoir. Inspection Window: An amber colored window is used to protect the sensitive chemical from exposure to light and is easily replaceable. Telescopic Tube: Telescopic tubes are used to draw liquid from the reagent bottle to the digital burette. It can be adjusted in length according to different bottle sizes. Hand Wheel: It gives you the option to control the volume of liquid delivered by moving the hand wheel either clockwise or counterclockwise. Button: On/Off Button, Clear/Selection Button and Pause Button. Components of Electronic Burette In Electronic Burette, most of the components such as Recirculation Valve, Delivery Tube, Inspection Window, Telescope Tube, Adapters, etc. have the same functionalities. Nevertheless, some components make electronic burettes different from digital burettes and increase the precision and accuracy of the instrument. These are: Control Panel: The e-burette comes with a powerful control panel that is used to perform functions like automatically refill without changing the readings, reset zero (via tare), switch the instrument off etc. TFT Screen: A user-friendly TFT touchscreen guides quick and accurate titrations and displays numerical data up to the second decimal. It operates smoothly with the stylus.

I think my list had about 20 items on it at one point. But I could not work this Wednesday so I put about eight hours into programming. So hang onto your seats because there is a lot of new stuff. A few things have changed As you can see I made the background much darker (I did experiment with pure black but ended up going with a very dark grey). It makes the game more playable and looks far better Old menu New menu You may notice that the buttons and logo are larger now. I did some work on getting all the UI in the proper scale and it makes a huge difference. The “How to Play” and “Settings” buttons are larger and now have text instead of a symbol on them. If you look at the screenshots below you will notice that the score and player health UI is much more readable now. (also I added a wave count under the score) Old New I also made a new effect for when the player gets hit. It does not show well in a static image but you can see what it looks like in the middle of triggering below. What happens is when the player gets hit a sort of flash effect is released from where the player is currently at and rapidly expands to fill the whole screen. It then quickly fades out. Player taking damage If you missed it there are two new types of enemies in the game. If you look at the last two screenshots you can see both large and small yellow enemies. They both have a new weapon type that shoots a bullet that then shoots out more bullets. The small one shoots one straight up and one straight down, the large shoots out six evenly spaced bullets. For those counting that is a 50% increase in the different types of enemies in the game. Ok so bonus points have been in the game for a long time. I did not communicate that very well however (I even forgot to explain it in the how to play level) so I did a ton of work to make it much more noticeable when you get a bonus. Before all that happened was that a small icon was displayed next to the score for a while if you met the criteria for bonus points (take no damage during a wave and/or destroy all enemies in a wave) but nobody really noticed them and when I explained what they were (something your not supposed to do when someone is testing your game) they seemed to still not quite understand. To fix this I made several changes. Most players were not aware that there were waves. So to fix this I made a wave counter that sits under the score this help the player get a sense of how far they have made it and helps to communicate when waves change. Screen effects! When you make it to the end of the wave if you met the criteria for bonus points a color coded effect “splashes” onto the screen. It’s very similar to the the player hit effect. End result is that it becomes very hard to miss when you get bonus points. There is also a new powerup. You may see a purple powerup float onto the screen at some point, if you pick it up you will then be able to shoot three bullets with every button press for a short time. And speaking of pressing a button to shoot you can now hold down the fire button to shoot. You still can fire faster by tapping the fire button however. OK so a few other things may have been change as well but I will leave that for next week’s update. See you then!

According to Vermont is a state in the far northeastern part of the United States. Vermont borders Quebec to the north, Massachusetts to the south, New Hampshire to the east, and New York State to the west. The state is crossed from north to south by the chain of the Green Mountains, hence the name of the country itself, of French origin, in fact it means Monte Verde. Vermont is a small state and has just over 650,000 inhabitants. The climate is generally continental, with cold winters and sub-zero temperatures in the mountains and hot but humid summers. Background The independent soul of the state has always characterized the atmosphere of Vermont and influenced its historical passages. During the War of Independence, Vermont under the leadership of Ethan Allen managed to keep itself free from the British, although upon Allen’s death, Vermont passed under the United States after only two years. However, Vermont has always tried to demonstrate its possibility of living free from other central powers, creating a traditional economy based on farming and agriculture with fields of wheat, corn alongside dairies for cheeses of all kinds and maple syrups.. Places to visit According to Montpellier is the very small capital, with just under 8000 inhabitants. The city still maintains an environment far from the consumerism of the great American urban centers. Burlington is certainly a more attractive city because it is larger even if it maintains modest dimensions that make it very livable, but above all it is located along Lake Chamberlain, a university center with a social life worthy of a larger city. It is cosmopolitan and full of activity, despite the serenity of a provincial town. It is Central Vermont that is particularly striking for all those who like to enter the villages linked to old traditions, but also for winter sports lovers with attractive ski resorts. In Southern Vermont you can still find towns that instead maintain a vintage 1960s lifestyle, especially in Brattleboro. In this area it is also possible to hike among the paths created within the majestic and extensive Green Mountain National Forest. A very particular itinerary is the one proposed along the VT100. It is a road that runs through rural Vermont and winds through gentle hills, small mountains, where you can admire grazing animals, even walking along marked trails. Along the way you can visit large farms and cross small villages, the typical ones with wooden churches with white bell towers that dominate the horizon of nature. Here there are also artisan shops where you can buy pottery or other country-style objects, as well as eat in rustic restaurants where products from the surrounding lands are served. NAMED: “The Green Mountain State” ORIGIN NAME: It is the state of the green mountains, as also indicated by the name derived from the French Vert Mont, the green mountain. CAPITAL: Montpelier OTHER CITIES: – MEMBER UNION SINCE: March 4, 1791 (14th state) POPULATION: 593,740 CAPITAL POPULATION: 7,477 residents COUNTY NUMBER: 14 POOR PEOPLE: 9.7% MOTTO: “Vermont, Freedom and Unity” TREE: Sugar Maple BIRD: Hermit Thrush FLOWER: Red Clover SONG: Hail, Vermont THE FLAG: The image on a blue background is a scene painting. You can see a pine, a cow and the sheaves of wheat, in the distance the green mountains. The branches of the pine surround a screen. The name “Vermont” and the state motto “Freedom and Unity” are displayed in a crimson banner. ECONOMY – AGRICULTURE: Dairy products, livestock, hay, apples, maple products. – INDUSTRY: Electronic equipment, fabricated metal products, paper products, tourism. Vermont state economy Vermont has traditionally been New England’s most important agricultural region. Since the end of the Second World War, however, its economy has gradually diversified, and industry and tourism have become increasingly important. Although it contributes a small percentage to the state gross product, agriculture occupies over 25% of the land. Vermont is a large producer of milk, which is also the largest agricultural income. Other products are maple syrup, potatoes, eggs. Horse breeding is growing. Firms for the cutting and processing of lumber are distributed throughout the state, but particularly in the north-eastern region. The production of Christmas fir trees is important. Mining of minerals, especially copper, was once an important sector of the Vermont economy. Today it is limited to the exploitation of non-metallic materials, such as granite, marble, asbestos, slate, talc and clay. About three-quarters of Vermont manufacturing companies are small (fewer than 50 employees). The most important sectors are printing and publishing, production of machines and tools. About 15% of the income produced in the state comes from tourism.

It’s TRV aka The Realest Vegan aka The King of Soundcloud Finds, back with a list of what I’m listening to this week. First off, another hit from the jazz group gone electronic production trio, 3lo, this time with their spin on Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles, aptly titled Bl5kBtls. The song takes an interesting, future bass inspired twist on the chart topping hit from 2016 (ignore the poorly photoshopped album art, this song is sick trust me). Tennyson has been one of my favorite artists for a long time, and in celebration of his upcoming concert at Kilby Court (which you should definitely check out), I had to throw in Like What? An audiophiles delicacy, this track first pleases your senses, then takes you on a journey as you search for post-production perfection. It’s weird, raw, and groovy. Quickly Quickly’s Trilogy is an electronic masterpiece produced solely by a highschooler out of Portland, OR. The progression of themes in this song proves this kid doesn’t mess around, displaying his musical prowess over his peers. His musical progressiveness in this emerging electronic sub-genre puts him leaps ahead and makes him a must watch as he rises through the ranks of soundcloud’s greats. To round off this week’s finds, we’ve got a super funk collab from Tall Black Guy and Darondo. Doing other collaborations with rising artists like Masego and Rommel Donald, Tall Black Guy has a refreshing retro-groove influenced sound that’s already earned a timeless place in my books. If you’re not riding Tall Black Guy Railway, you better hop on soon. I hope you guys enjoyed this weeks tracks. Hit me up on twitter @K_UTETRV and let me know what you’ve been listening to!

Adapted plants are species of plants originally native to other regions of the world that have become acclimated and established in a new area. These plants thrive in the new location without being harmful to existing native plants or wildlife, and are able to grow and reproduce without human intervention. Adaptive plants help the environment the most when planted in places that match their growing requirements. They will thrive in the soils, moisture and weather of your region. That means less supplemental watering, which can be wasteful, and pest problems that require toxic chemicals. Native plants also assist in managing rain water runoff and maintain healthy soil as their root systems are deep and keep soil from being compacted. Click the link to learn more about Native plants.

Reconfiguring restaurant recipes for the home kitchen is always challenging. The dramatic differences in staple ingredients, equipment, number of assistants, and, most importantly, basic competence can be daunting obstacles. Making your food taste like restaurant food is challenging enough; presenting it so that it also looks slick is much trickier. Author Gord Martin, the chef and owner of two restaurants in Vancouver, Bin 941 and Bin 942, does his best to urge readers of this book to try. Martin divides his book into menus for cocktail parties, barbecues, dinner parties, and other social events and suggests wine pairings. There is also a brief glossary of cooking terms and less familiar ingredients as well as a short section on basic stocks and sauces. The food is what he calls “cross cultural,” so ingredients are varied but most tend towards the spicy. This is a cookbook for the experienced and/or fearless. His recipe for Grilled Chinese Pepper-Crusted Venison, Water Chestnuts and Shiitake Mushroom Sauce, Yam with Mascarpone and Chive Gateau, Fresh Mango or Papaya Salad is not for the novice or last-minute cook. The instructions include using a cookie cutter to cut yam into correct shapes. In other recipes, you are encouraged to smoke your own meat and fish, get sheets of untreated cedar veneer one-sixth inch thick (for Wild Sockeye Salmon in Cedar Sheath) and find five-inch ostrich fans (for Chermoula-Crusted Ostrich, Café au Lait Sauce and Medjool Date and Toasted Almond Saffron Pilaf). Some of the directions given are extremely spare. As well, some recipes are incomplete. The Toffee Coffee Pot de Crème recipe has us lightly whisk 18 egg yolks and set them aside, forever, never to be referred to again. This is not to say that there are not wonderfully delicious ideas here. An ambitious host, with a well-stocked pantry, access to specialty stores, and the patience to fiddle, will soon find a supply of grateful guests willing to experiment too.

South Florida is, delightfully, very nearly a country apart from the rest of America. We have semitropical weather while our northern friends have snow. We move to music that connects to South American, Caribbean and Spanish roots. And we deal with so much sun, we need commercial roof repair more often for sun damage than water damage. We may live free and easy, but our businesses are important to us, and nobody wants to devalue their commercial property by making these three mistakes. Don’t Worry It’ll Look Great! Think long and hard before you transform your business building’s facade and interior to match whatever you think is the new and trendy look. You may be out of touch with what really is new and trendy for the customers you want. Slathering rigid foam board and stucco all over your storefront can be a fire hazard. Unless you are a retail concern deliberately marketing to hipsters, avoid: Rough wood and raw materials that can catch customers’ clothes or rub their skin Eclectic, clashing styles that signal your indecision Garish and superficial facades that telegraph “cheap” Brutalism and its inhumane, “hard” look Deferring Essential Services Consider your commercial property’s roof: it protects your building and preserves your business. When you need commercial roof repair, do not delay. Reallocate money, tap your line of credit, but find a way to pay for needed services. The same is true for pest control, because in South Florida especially, nothing puts off customers and commercial tenants more than even the merest suggestion of insect or rodent problems. Bottom Dollar Hiring a roofing contractor for commercial roof repair, a cleaning company for nightly service, or a carting company for haulage based only on their being the cheapest choice is a decision you will instantly regret. At the first hard rain, that cheap commercial roof repair will leak. The “economical” cleaning company may be hiring day night laborers from the local community college instead of trained professionals. And the carting company may be tossing your company trash alongside Route One, where your letterhead and corporate logo will make your business look like a litterer. Spend wisely on needed services that keep your business looking great and keep your property value up.

A leading UK rental company knew it could increase revenue and become a more valued supplier by offering site customers a complete fuelling package. This meant combining the best storage and a management service, with selling the fuel itself. But they needed an expert partner to help make that plan a reality. Everything would need to be compliant, durable and spacious enough to securely house an electronic management system with live tank level monitoring for uninterrupted operation. Piecing a jigsaw together to create the perfect solution is precisely the kind of challenge we love. Project Solution One team - joined-up thinking Our TransCube units are well proven in rental and construction. By adding a best in class fuel management system into the dispensing cabinet, they were able to offer full traceability and detailed transaction data for multiple users. Having accurate levels also meant their customer’s site was never at risk of running dry. Finally they added the fuel. The efficiencies of dealing with one partner were valued by the site operator, who also benefited from bulk buying fuel discounts. By working together, the manufacturer, customer and end-user each profited from this joined-up thinking – and it’s a great model, ready for the future of site fuel supplies.

HIPAA is a law that is supposed to prevent medical professionals from inappropriately disclosing your medical information to anyone not involved with your treatement and insurance, so that your medical status can not be used against you – for example by an employer who wishes to discriminate against people who are HIV positive. HIPAA compliance is a big deal – it’s likely your personal doctor has given you disclosures related to it, and has had you sign releases regarding your medical data. Penalties for not complying with HIPAA have been as large as 75 Million dollars. Not too long ago, a major medical manufacturer and their partner, a research hospital, ran a program in which they sent some crucial medical equipment to patients in a large soft rolling padded suitcase. At some point the suitcases became surplus to operations, and they sold them to an online store known for its military surplus. As it happens, I needed a soft padded suitcase to store a ham radio in my trailer, and thus found myself the new owner of one of these cases. The case came with a patient identification card neatly mounted in an identification window. This gave the patient’s name, birth-date, gender, and the name of a medical device that they were using. A FedEX waybill attached to the case’s handle gave the patient’s home address. Obviously this was a HIPAA violation. I notified the manufacturer and destroyed the patient data. I’m involved in a different form of corporate compliance: Open Source license compliance by technology companies. But the problems are the same: dumb mistakes like failing to remove patient data before selling suitcases happen because the “little people” in the company – employees who get the assignment of getting the suitcases into a freight container and shipping them out, haven’t been adequately trained to identify a HIPAA issue while it’s happening and protect their employer. Similarly, violation of Open Source licenses happens because engineers and their managers have never had their first class in copyright, licenses, and technology law – it isn’t required for an electrical engineering or computer science degree. When I train such people, I find that they identify problems and bring them to legal when the problems start, rather than letting them happen until there is a development investment and products released to customers, and the intellectual property issues get expensive. Staff who have been properly trained feel in control, and become the first line of defense rather than where the mistakes happen. This saves companies many Millions. Unfortunately, training people meets strong resistance in every company where I propose it, because the course as it should be taught would take every member of the staff out of production for a whole day. So, I’m always under pressure to cut the entirety of a Compliance 101 class down to two hours. Somewhere in a medical company, the little people weren’t taught enough about HIPAA to be able to identify an obvious problem, or maybe they were that day’s temps. Managers were tasked to keep this sort of problem from happening. But as always, the managers weren’t the people at the front lines, who really do have brains and can use them if they’re just given some awareness of what’s important. Someone who isn’t as nice as me could use the information that I saw to bring a class-action suit on behalf of the patients whose information was disclosed, perhaps costing this company tens of Millions. It’s only when that happens that the companies understand the value of training all of their staff.

The detective novel rumored to be the first was The Notting Hill Mystery by Charles Felix in 1862. Rumored because there is no solid evidence it was. Of course, then Edger Allen Poe came along, with his popular mysteries, his early detective fiction. His short stories were so popular that some believe he invented the genre of detective fiction. There are so many influencing authors of this genre and sub genres of detective fiction, it’s impossible to mention all of them. But I will introduce a few listed in this article. One notable author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first introduced the reader to Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet in 1887. Anyone heard the term Gumshoe? These of course are detective or investigator stories. Mickey Spillane with his Mike Hammer character wrote the best. Then there is the whodunit. A plot-driven variety of detective fiction. Usually conducted by sleuths who were eccentric and more amateur than your law enforcement detective of today. Who doesn’t love a good whodunit novel to curl up with? Especially on a cold winter’s night, and usually one thinks of a fireplace to go with it. And when you think of a whodunit, what books are they? Agatha Christie. Anyone who reads detective novels, mysteries, or suspense knows Agatha Christie. Her novel, Then There Were None, is one of the top-selling books of all time. Next time you’re in need of a good book, pick up a copy. Many thrillers or noir thrillers can be cast as detective novels. As described in Merriam-Webster Dictionary, one description for noir is crime fiction featuring hard-boiled cynical characters and bleak sleazy settings. Which is certainly characteristic to the novels of the 1950s Most of these terms for detective fiction are from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. What are the new terms for contemporary detective tales? As far as I can find, they are mostly the same. While detective, crime, and mystery novels are the same concept, the contemporary detective novels run from cozy mysteries to hard core police detectives such as Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch. To tell the truth, I was excited to dig in and research the evolution of the detective novel. As a voracious reader, I love anything with a plot that twists and turns until I’m so dizzy I can’t see straight. And my goal as a reader is to solve the crime before the author lets me in on the secret. And the very best in my humble opinion, are those that smack you right in the face. The clues were there throughout the book and yet they are misread or misleading to the point I think I’ve discovered the killer only to have the author prove me wrong. The term for all those misleading clues is red herring. During my research, I’ve found many different types of detective novels. Whether the main character is a private investigator or police detective, the stories are still a basic structure. There is a crime, usually a murder, but a jewel heist is also popular. There is the hunt for clues. A moment when everything is right with the world because the detectives have found their culprit. Then bam! A new clue rides in on a trusty steed to prove the detectives and readers wrong. And the hunt is on again. advertisement Some contemporary detective or crime novels are famous not for their detectives but the killer, as with Jeff Lindsay’s, Dexter. He is a blood pathologist for the Florida Police Department and the detectives are all after him, not knowing the murderer is one of their own, because Dexter is working the crime scene right along with them. I’ve gone over the genre and sub genres of the detective novel, but yet have not found or proven any type of concrete evidence of evolution of the detective novel, does that mean I’ve failed in my quest? Yes and no. Not for lack of my research because as I said before, the concept and basic mechanisms have been and probably always will be the same. So does that mean there isn’t one? Maybe. I checked the style; read over the first pages of the older novels I’ve mentioned. I wanted to see if there were differences and if so, what were they. It’s in the writing style. In the 19th century most styles were written in first person. The novels I compared to in the contemporary era are mostly written in 3rd person. And the style in which they are delivered are very different. Take for instance, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, his style was probably the first to use deductive reasoning to solve his cases. The evolution of writing style is gradual over the years, and there is certainly a growth. So, readers, my assignment to you is to do your research and find a detective story from the late 1800s early 1900s that you find intriguing. Read it, savor it, and then find one from the noir era or the 1950s. Cuddle up by the fire while you sip on a beverage of your choice and read from start to finish. Now you’re ready for a contemporary. Find a good current best seller of detective story, whether it be a police detective or a private investigator. And then read it.

If there is one thing that would describe any student’s life in India, it would be FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). FOMO makes you do something you might not even want to do. The engineering decision you took, the various competitions you participate in, the effort you gave to get your dream intern. You do a lot of things just because your peers are doing it. And we find a hundred ways to justify our decisions rather than admitting the herd mentality. Don’t get me wrong, and I’m no guru who’s here to enlighten you.

I started digging into his work and found his papers very interesting. I and a few of my friends talked to Kanay who was working with him on “The Lok Sabha Elections Project”.

With the help of some digging around, I came across PK sir and Precog group from IIIT-D.

I clearly remember seeing him with his distinct “red cap” for the first time at KCIS during the summer of 2018. Around the same period, there was a buzz among the students that a well-renowned professor has come to IIIT-H for a sabbatical, and at the least, I knew that he would be advising me one day.

I instantly connected with the group and their work. I desperately wanted to be a part of the cool projects they were working on.

This in itself should give you a sense of his humility and down-to-earth attitude. He has been extremely understanding to me all throughout this amazing journey.

On the train, I was browsing through Facebook lazily, while my mind was wandering elsewhere, wondering what kind of project I would work on at IIIT. As I was scrolling through a few memes in my Facebook feed, I thought it would be absolutely hilarious if I end up working on memes in my research.

In January 2019, I (Aanshul Sadaria – IIIT H Class of 2020) came at one such crossroad, not that I knew it was going to be a life-remembering junction of my journey. I happened to remember reading a mail from an unusual named professor – Ponnurangam Kumaraguru asking for students to work on the #Killfie project.

I was looking for professors or researchers in the field of computational social science and social computing to guide me with the technical aspects of the field.

And am I glad that it happened! Let me start by telling you about this. After the sad demise of my previous thesis advisor (may his soul rest in peace), my previous research work had come to a grinding halt. After running like a headless chicken for a few months, the faculty thought it made more sense for me to dedicate my research hours to a new research topic. To the uninitiated, having to change research topics is not only daunting but…

In Canada, it's called the Rock 'N Play "Soothing Seat"—not "Sleeper"--because of our strict regulations on sleep products for infants, it's not allowed to be marketed as a "sleeper". Which also means that when the product was recalled in the United States this month because of 32 deaths over eight years, it wasn't recalled in Canada. But it's the same product. Does a name really make a difference in how parents use a product? How can desperation drive parents to let their children sleep in ways that might be unsafe, just because they work? Are these deaths actually due to the product, or just the kind of unimaginable tragedies that sometimes happen, multiplied by millions and millions of products sold? GUESTS: Ariel Brewster and Claire Gagne, Today's Parent

The NHRDF since its inception has been instrumental in making a substantial involvement in the development of Indian Horticulture through its extensive network of regional centres all over the country. The process of 'lab-to-land' transfer of technology could be done quite successfully through different extension methodologies, which resulted in the facilitation of better production, productivity and ultimately the betterment of the rural farmers. To educate the farmers with various research findings on onion, garlic and other crops and its implementation at farmers' fields, the NHRDF regularly arranges various extension and educational programmes, viz Demonstrations, Field Days, Farmers' Meetings, Exhibitions, Trainings, TV Programmes, Radio Talks, Seminars, Farmers' Group Visits, Publishing Technical Bulletins, Leaflets and CDs. The programmes have given a good impact on adoption of technology, resulting in increased area, production as well as productivity with quality produces. DEMONSTRATIONS Demonstrations always give a 'see and believe’ experience which aids as one of the best media to impinge a technology of new nature, into the rural farming community. The NHRDF arranges demonstrations at farmers' fields to promote the technology developed in different fields. Field days and farmers' meeting are arranged at the demonstration plot to explain the latest technologies. TRAININGS The NHRDF conducts training programmes to farmers and officials from agriculture / horticulture departments of state government and students from colleges.

Blanks slates are kind of our thing. We see the potential where most see empty land and grass for days. And this home was no different. The backyard was barren. Well, it had grass but nothing else. Funny enough, we didn’t even meet with the homeowner about the backyard. You can learn more about this large entertainment patio in our blog breakdown. It gets more into the details. However, if you are a picture person – see below the before, during, and after images. You can also view more pictures on our Facebook and Instagram pages. These are great for inspiration and to see the quality of our work across many Maryland homes. Overall, this project turned out beautifully. The area did need some minor slope adjustments to make this level and drain off water correctly. Connecting the basement stairwell and driveway was essential to the homeowner. The installation also included electrical in the knee wall, stairs, and column lights.

Did you know that Southfork Animal Hospital offers acupuncture to pets in Lakeville, MN and beyond? Typically, we diagnose and treat the specific disease conditions of pets using modern science and other Western medicine philosophies. But, what if we could integrate different, more holistic, approaches to help improve your pet’s health and well-being? Acupuncture is the practice of placing extremely small needles into various areas of the body. Medical acupuncture is taught and practiced using a neuroanatomical approach to treatment. Acupuncture works because the specific points being used are stimulating underlying nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, muscles, etc. Medical acupuncture is not related to “energy” or “stagnant chi.” The focus is on the structures affected by a disease of illness (arthritis of the knee or gastrointestinal motility disorders for example) and what nerves supply these areas or can be influenced by stimulation elsewhere in the body. The benefits of veterinary acupuncture Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other therapies to treat a variety of medical conditions, including: Nausea, decreased appetite, and other gastrointestinal problems caused by metabolic diseases and cancers Pain and inflammation due to degenerative joint disease, traumatic injuries, or intervertebral disc disease Skin conditions Respiratory problems associated with feline asthma Pets who undergo acupuncture may experience: Decreased inflammation Improved circulation Pain relief due to a release of hormones Relief of muscle spasms Nerve stimulation What do I need to do to prepare for my pet’s consultation? If we do not already have your pet’s medical records, labwork, radiographs, etc. please fax those to us before your appointment. List of all medications and supplements including doses, response to these medications, etc. Information on food type, amount fed, treats given. Overview of other pertinent information regarding your pet’s health history. An initial consultation with Dr. Lentz is scheduled for 60 minutes and will include an examination, medical history review, discuss whether acupuncture is appropriate for the patient and the initial treatment (if indicated). Follow-up treatments are scheduled for 40 minutes. A “typical” treatment schedule is 1-2 treatments per week for 2-4 weeks then will depend upon the pet’s response to treatment. Treatment frequency and the number will depend upon the patient’s condition, the severity of dysfunction, length of time pet has been affected and response to treatment. Each treatment schedule is tailored to the individual patient and their needs.

Kastelli Kissamou, which in 1966 was renamed to Kissamos, is a small picturesque town built in the gulf of Kissamos or Myrtilos, between the peninsulas of Gramvousa and Spatha. The name derives from the Venetian fortress Castel Chissamo that was built there, remains of which still exist. The first fort of Kastelli was built by the Genoese pirate Enrico Pescatore on the site of the ancient Kissamos, in the early 13th century, and was one of the 15 forts fortified by the Genoeses after 1204 AD. When the Venetians expelled Pescatore, the fortress fell into their possession. Then, they restored it and it became the defensive military center of the region. The shape of the fort was asymmetrical pentagon and, like all the Venetian fortresses, it included quartering areas, prisons, churches and a well. Since the early revolutions of the locals, the fortress of Kastelli Kissamou became a target of the rebels. When in 1262 the Cretans, with the help of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus, rebelled against the Venetians, they tried to occupy the castle, but failed. Remaining Part of Kissamos FortDuring the revolutions of 1333 and 1341, the Venetians destroyed the settlement (bourg) that had developed around the fort, but later decided to rebuild it. From then on, the settlement was named Kastelli, like all bourgs on the island. In 1538, the fortress was destroyed by the pirate Barbarossa and was repaired in 1554. In 1583, the Castel Chissamo had 845 residents and in 1630 it had 35 cannons. In 1595 it was completely destroyed by an earthquake, but was rebuilt in 1635 by Lorenzo Contarini. In 1646 the Turks besieged the fort, which fell after the betrayal of the commander Giovani Medici, who gave up because the fortress had been severely damaged and most of his soldiers died of plague. The Turks repaired the fort immediately and started using it. In 1692, during the first Cretan revolution under the commands of the Venetian admiral Mochenigo Aloisio, the rebels occupied the fortress, but it lasted for a while. Thus, during the Ottoman occupation of Crete, the fortress was the center of many revolutionary activities. In 1821, the fort was used for imprisoning the Bishop of Kissamos Melchizedek Despotakis. From there, the Turkish mob dragged him to a square, for hanging him. When the revolution was generalized, the 1800 Turks of Kissamos found refuge in the fortress, which was besieged by rebels and two ships coming from Hydra island (near Athens). In February 1823, during the preparation for the landing of the new General Head of the Cretan Revolt, Emmanuel Tombazis, the rebels organized the clearing of Kissamos and Selino provinces, forcing the Turks to seek protection in the fort. Thus, the ship Terpsichore arrived at the port of Drapanias, transferring Tombazis and 600 Greek volunteers from the mainland of Greece. The Greeks besieged the fort till May 25, 1823, when the Turks surrendered the fort and their weapons. The Greek flag was raised after centuries in Crete, but it lasted for a while… The Turks moved to Chania, where they regrouped and returned to Kissamos. After a fierce battle, they managed to regain Castelli. In 1825, the fort returned into the hands of 900 Greeks, who came from Monemvasia, Peloponnese. They were initially heading towards Gramvousa fort fort, but the bad weather and the information that there were only 20 guards in Kissamos, led them to the siege the fortress at Castelli. However, after 3-4 days, 2000 Turks arrived in Castelli and reoccupied the fort. During the great revolution of 1866, the fort was again a target of the rebels, led by Skalidis. The fort was besieged by the Colonel Vyzantios and the Major Froudarakis, but the siege stopped when the latter was killed. In 1897-8, the story was repeated, but the Turks were rescued by the Great Powers (Austria-Hungary, France, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Russian Empire, and the United Kingdom), the “protectors” of the Cretan people. Today, the remains of the fort, most of which are remnants of the Turkish buildings, still stand in some places and remind us of its great past

My name is Sadie Smith! I’m a graphic designer with a passion for illustration and character design! I personally enjoy detailed work that is bright and saturated, with a focus on fantasy settings and monster girls. Where are you from originally? Oxford, MS What attracted you to the Department of Art & Art History? My sister and mother had graduated from Ole Miss as well as my grandma having worked on this campus so it was a bit of tradition for me to go here as well. What type of artwork do you create? I do mostly illustration and character design but I have done some work in advertising as well! Could you explain your process? I usually find a theme that inspires me and make a character based off of that aesthetically. I personally enjoy doing characters that are loose personifications of things or aesthetics. Which artists do you look to for inspiration? I am inspired a lot by my fellow artist friends, we grow and develop our styles together and push each other to keep developing our craft and have a genuine love for creating. I also usually look at artists’ work through Instagram. Artists like Ghoulkiss, Dreamyskullz, and a big name like Velvet Spectrum come to mind. Photo of Sadie Smith Which professors inspired you the most? Tyler Barnes and Phillip Jackson are big inspirations to me personally. Tyler does fantastic graphic design work that is inspiring to look at and the way he breaks down his work process is very helpful to me. Jackson is a wonderful painter and teacher who will help you grow as an artist. What has been your favorite class during your years here? Packing Design was a fun class to take because of the way it combines 2D elements and translating them to 3D designs. It also helps graphic design work feel more “real” because of the tangible product you end up with. Sugar Spike Show Card Could you describe a favorite memory here in the department? Working in the building late when you can be alone in the quiet working is always nice. There’s always this cool vibe when it’s dark out and you’re working in a lit room, you’re in your own little space. What does the Department of Art & Art History mean to you? It means being inspired by others around you and developing yourself as you go. Do you have any advice for incoming art students? Keep doing what you love, but branch out too!

The windows that I ordered back in April have finally arrived. They’re all going in on the second floor, so I decided to build this scaffolding. It took about $40 worth of lumber from Lowes, and an hour or two to put together. This gives me a nice stable platform to work on the windows from. The scaffolding is 12′ tall, 3′ wide, and 7′ long. It’s a very simple construction, with 4 12′ 2×4’s carrying most of the load, being braced a number of smaller 2×4’s to prevent it from twisting or buckling. The top is simply some 1/2″ plywood that was actually part of the shipping crate of my jointer. I used my framing nailer to put it all together which was quick and easy. It’s a very stable structure, and its at the perfect height. This one’s for Joe By jaguar | April 7, 2010 - 9:34 am | Uncategorized Leave a comment When I redid the trim around the garage last summer, I only had two 8′ boards to cover a 18′ span. So I put one on each end and spliced a 2′ section in the middle. Sounds good right? Well the problem was I didn’t do a very good job. The two end boards were crooked, resulting in the spliced board being extra crooked. It looked rather shoddy, but since I was tired of painting and trim work, I just left it. Well my buddy Joe has been giving me a hard time about it ever since. So last weekend I went and fixed it. I got two 10′ boards and made a nice joint between them on the nice flat basement floor. I also painted all 6 sides so that I wouldn’t have to worry about the board rotting from water being trapped behind it. TV Stand for Marty By jaguar | March 31, 2010 - 2:50 pm | Miscellaneous 2 Comments I’m sure you remember Marty, I mentioned he gave me a hand installing a skylight awhile back. Well he recently got a shiney new giant (73″!) TV and needed a TV stand for it. I built my TV stand a few years ago, which he liked, so we decided to build him one just like it. Pretty simple design, oak plywood for the top, bottom and sides, attached with some nice dado’s. The front was trimmed out with some nice ash that was just glued and nailed on. If my biscuit cutter wasn’t a piece of junk I would have used that to put the face frame on. FrogTape and Painting the Molding By jaguar | March 29, 2010 - 4:13 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment I’ve already mentioned I don’t like molding, well that goes for painting it too. To do a good job you have to take your time, and be very careful, something I’m not very good at. There also is a suprisingly large amount of it, particularly in a room with a plethora of doorways. I don’t generaly like taping for a few reasons. Firstly it takes a while to do, making an already slow job take even longer. Secondly you can make things worse if the tape peels up the paint when you take it off. Lastly I’ve never felt it worked aprticualrly well, the paint always seems to seap underneath the tape, no matter how well you stick it down. Well FrogTape claims to at least fix the last one. The Frog Tape has some of that gel stuff that’s used in diapers in it, which the makers claim prevents the paint from seaping underneath it. It’s expensive stuff, but I figured I’d give it a shot and I must say, it does work significanlty better than 3M’s blue tape. It’s not perfect though, I still had one spot where it seaped through. Molding By jaguar | March 26, 2010 - 3:44 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment I don’t like doing molding. First its very fiddly work, you have to measure, run downstairs and cut it, bring it back check your fit, trim it a bit, and then do it again. Secondly its the final step in a long process which means that there is nothing later to hide your faults. Basically when I’m doing framing if I make a little mistake I’m like no worries drywall will cover that up. Then when I make a mistake with the drywall I’m like no worries, thats what spackle is for. After spackle you have paint. But after molding there is nothing, if somethings out of whack, thats it your screwed. And something is always out of whack. For instance here the door to the jam on the door to the outside isn’t flush with the drywall, so there is a big gap there. The good news though is that with the molding in the room is starting to look done (particularly with this pre-primed stuff). Ohh and I got Jess to do some of the molding too, so that was awesome. Flooring is In! By jaguar | March 24, 2010 - 3:25 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment No more ugly faux tiles! This was the most stressful, and by far the easiest part of the whole remodel. Stressful because of the possibility that I ruined an expensive piece of floor with a bad cut. I was also worried about slipping it under the door jams and molding. You see, to look good the flooring needs to go underneath everything, but just barely not touching it. The Tarkett Fiber Floor was very flexible though, and was very easy to just bend and slip it under. Tarkett also recommends the easiest installation method possible, a glueless one. You just lay the floor down, and you’re done, no glue to mess with. The baseboard will keep the edges from being peeled up, and the flooring is supposed to just lie flat. I was a bit skeptical but figured that if it didn’t work well it’d be easy enough to just pull it up and glue it back down. It seems to have turned out well though, and it looks great! Cutting the Floor By jaguar | March 22, 2010 - 3:09 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment With the template all made up and inspected by my lovely wife it was time to cut it out. I had been planning on doing this in the driveway or in the garage, but with a foot of snow on the ground, and 20 degree temperatures, that didn’t sound like such a good idea. So instead we cleaned out the living room, and did it there. Cutting the template out was actually a bit difficult. A regular utility knife with a sharp blade still tended to tear the paper, and was instantly dulled by the cement floor. I was therefore a little worried about cutting the flooring, particularly in the living room with its nice hard wood floors. However I remembered that I had a few of the hook blades left from when i was cutting up the carpet in the family room. These blades worked incredibly well, and I would highly recommend them to anyone cutting flooring like this. I paid careful attention to my cuts as although you can glue it back together, I really didn’t want to make any mistakes on our $600 piece of vinyl. Speaking of which, I should mention that this is not actually vinyl flooring, its technically called resilient flooring. Its made by Tarkett and is their FiberFloor product. Its got a bunch of layers, a nice cushioned high density foam on the back, a fiberglass layer in the middle, with the pattern printed on it, and then a thick urethane layer on top that is textured to match the pattern. We liked it because of its cushion layer, as it feels great underfoot. Templating for the Floor By jaguar | March 19, 2010 - 4:07 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment We wanted a wood floor in the laundry room, however a vinyl floor in the laundry room makes the most sense for us. Its nice and easy on the feet, is very durable, and is waterproof. With a wood floor, we’d be constantly worrying about getting water on it, or scratching it or whatnot. We went to Lowes to look at the flooring choices there, and found a very nice wood pattern that looked great. Things went downhill from there though. The sign said that they would install it for $1.90 per sqft. Seemed pretty cheap, and as it turns out it was. We made an appointment to have someone come out and measure, which cost $35, but would be applied to the cost of the install. Unfortunately once we got the quote back, we realized the advertised price was basicly a bait and switch. not only would the basic install be almost twice that price, but despite the excellent condition of the bare cement floor, they wanted to emboss it for another few hundred bucks. Instead of that we went to talk to Rob over at Carpet Dimensions. We got the carpet for our family room from them, and they were fantastic. The same was also true this time around. Rob mentioned that it was pretty easy to do yourself using some paper as a template. We ordered the flooring, and I got to work making the template. Pretty easy to do, just roughly cut the paper to size, lay it down, tape it to the floor so it doesn’t move around, and then trim it to size. Furnace Cleaning By jaguar | March 17, 2010 - 3:53 pm | Laundry Room Leave a comment With all the woodworking and spackeling I’ve been doing lately, I was worried that the furnace was getting covered in dust. It only takes a thin layer of dust to wreck the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger. I do have a filter in there of course, but It doesn’t seal particularly well, so I was though it might be a good time to give it a cleaning. It’s easy enough to take apart, although remembering where all of the wires went would have made putting it back together easier. The fan was pretty dirty, but surprisingly the heat exchanger was clean as a whistle.
