Introduction: DIY Robot Cardboard Helmet
Here's a show stopping helmet to create a robot costume around.
You can either download the files, print, trace and cut your own cardboard or visit my Esty shop and purchase the kit and I'll cut the pieces for you! Note: Use gloves to avoid paper-cuts from laser cut cardboard (and hot glue). Sand the edges a bit for less risk of injury.
Materials needed:
- PDF file or Cardboard kit from Etsy
- Two 18" x 24" cardboard sheets (if using the files linked above) OR cut the pieces from a gundam model kit box box or case of beer for a super silly robot.
- Transparent film or acrylic for visor
- GLOVES! Laser cut edges are sharp! Use gloves especially if working the the laser cut kits and hot glue
- Sandpaper
- Hot glue
- Wood Glue
- Masking tape or packing tape
- Metal straightedge ruler
- Scissors or a xacto knife
Step 1: Assemble the Helmet's Dome and Mohawk
Start by gluing the prongs of the two top dome parts of the hemet together along the edges. Wear gloves and work slowly gluing from the base to the ends. The curved shape will come together if you work carefully and match up the edges precisely. Do the same with the back part of the helmet, and then attach all three parts, as seen in the third image.
Next fold and glue the three "mohawk" parts. Gather the three parts shown in the fourth image in this step. USe your metal ruler to help you fold precisely.
Personally, I think wood glue gives the cleanest and most sturdy finish, but hot glue is faster. Hot glue can also be more forgiving as you can re-heat and re-glue if you're unsatisfied with your seam. Either way, apply the glue into the corrugated edges and either hold or tape the edges together as the glue dries/ cools. Gluing into the corrugated edges is method is my preference, but it also works well to hold the edges together and glue along the back. Take a look at the tips on gluing and folding from my Hawk Helmet for more help!
Step 2: Attach the Mohawk and Assemble the Brim
Next find the mohawk insert (image 1), fold the sides and glue (image 2). Glue the inset piece at the front of the mohawk to form the concave front feature. (See image 6)
Build the brim by locating the brim part (image 3) and gluing it along the seams of the front brim (image 4). Then glue the U shaped piece at a 90 degree angle, to create the full brim. (image 5) The brim also includes the upper sides of the helmet so curve these pieces around to begin forming the sides.
I laser cut an acrylic visor for this helmet too, just to see how it would come out. In the PDF template, you'll find the visor part which you will use as a template to create your visor from any transparent or translucent material you like.
You'll quickly notice the matching geometry in the sides of the dome, the brim, and the mohawk. Let the cardboard be your guide. (image 6-8) Apply some glue into your corrugated edges, and line the sides up with the matching edges.
Step 3: Helmet Grommets and Greeblies
Okay, let's get a few of the little bits out of the way. Parts can be made easier to work with by rolling them around rounded objects. I often use a baseball bat handle, bowl or rolling pin depending on the curve required.
Curl the "bell curve" shaped piece (image 1) around a cylinder (a baseball bat or broom handle would be perfect here) and attach the small ends together. As you can see, I re-enforced this seam with masking tape as it's such a small connection and this area will be relatively out of sight on the final helmet.
The two butterfly shaped parts (image 3) form the left and right greeblies (images 4 -5). They are slightly different, so fit them up before gluing and make sure you've got them on the correct side. They should follow the downward sloping curve of the helmet sides.
Finally we have another inset piece for the missing space at the back of the helmet. (image 6) Parts shaped like an iron cross will be folded into an inset rectangle. For this part, it is intended to become two vertically stacked inset squares. (image 7)
Step 4: Assemble and Attach the Ears
Glue the two cylinder shapes from the previous step into the matching holes at the back of the helmet. As well, attach the square inset into the missing rectangle at the lower center of the back of the helmet.
Next assemble the ears simply by gluing the one ear with a hole in it to one that does not have a missing hole. Do this twice and you should have two ears with inset holes that match up with your cylinders.
Step 5: "Face" Parts
Collect the "mouth" parts (image 1) and use your straightedge ruler to fold along vertices on the nose/ mouth part and fold sharply (image 2). Use the two smallest parts to inform the angle of the fold, and glue them in place (image 3).
Fold the mushroom shaped part around it's "stem" to form the, I dunno, "goatee?" I don't know why this robot needs a goatee, but I'm sure he's a hit with the lady robots. (image 4 -5)
Fold the, let's call them sideburns, into shape (image 6). Your first folds should be at 90 degrees in order to align the thin prongs of this part as top and bottom sides (image 7).
Step 6: Assemble the Face
The sideburns close up the face pretty narrowly. (Apologies to anyone who knows the correct names for these parts. I think they look like sideburns, nose, mouth, and goatee. And I think that for all your indignance, you know what I mean, so let's get back to building.)
I've included a photo from the inside looking out so you can see how these parts are attached. I've re-enforced the seams with tape here too.
Step 7: Add the Final Side Parts and You're Done!
Take your time and make sure that the sides of these parts line up with the sides of the empty space. Use the photo for reference. The tricky part is lining this up with the curves at the back of the helmet.
For the visor, I laser cut the part from acrylic. If you lack access to a laser cutter, trace the template part onto thick transparent film or anything else that is transparent yet thin enough to cut.
Transform and ROLL OUT!
24 Discussions
I don't get it
I'm only 12 but how did u make the face part withou telling us how
I think he wanted to inspire, not instruct.
I added details about the visor. (I'm assuming that you are talking about the visor). The visor is included in the template, you just need to cut it from a transparent material if you want to be able to see through it. Thick window tint film works well.
Take you time and check out the tips for taping and gluing linked from step 1.
Good luck!
thank you for making this
How easy would it be to make this helmet out of foam?
not really the cardboard type of persone but this looked really cool so I wanted to try but it's to hard for me I'm more of a wood persone
How big does the printed paper have to be to appropriately fit the wearers head.
18" x 24"
Thanks and this helmet is nice for whats on instructables☻♦♣♠.
Wow great! You have my vote!!
This is the coolest cardboard creation I've seen so far that is actually doable, and does not take a year to make.
Thanks! Yeah it usually only takes me a couple of hours to build this one.
This is Gundam right? Awesome!
Probably? I was going for a Transformers type thing, but I realize that they're all in the same style-family. Stamily, if you will. Thanks!
Actually, when I saw this I thought Gundam! as well. I think it's the 'ears'. Transformers don't generally have 'ears' that point backwards, while Gundam does (I think, at least. I'm a Transformers fan, I haven't watched Gundam yet.) Anyhow, this looks awesome! I don't usually connect 'cardboard' with 'bendable/rollable', but I see that it does work. (Though wouldn't a toilet roll suffice?) Thanks!
This may sound like a silly question....but how would I print this? Poster style over multiple pages to fit 18x24in?
I use a special machine that cuts (not prints) at 18" x 24", so yes, you can re-arrange the parts or split the pdf apart into letter sized pages.
BUT- here's my favoirte way to hack this: tape your cardboard to the wall and use an LCD projector to project the PDF onto the cardboard and trace. This is also a super easy way to resize the file.
Of course, if you want help, visit my Etsy store, and I'm happy to laser cut it for you.
Wow nice helmet!
Very fun... felicitaciones... muy creativo...
Muchas gracias!

Glimpse The Flash As He Speeds To Our Screens
March 11, 2014 by dracs
There has never been a better time to be a superhero fan, with films and TV shows about them popping up. Now we get our first glimpse of DC's scarlet speedster as he speeds towards his own show.
The Flash will focus upon the Barry Allen incarnation of the classic comic book character and is set to be a spin off of the popular DC comic hero show Arrow.
The actor playing the Flash in the upcoming pilot is Grant Gustin, reprising the role of Barry Allen from his time in Arrow.
I think the new suit looks great and is a perfect rendition of the classic costume. The fact that this is being produced by the guys behind Arrow has me hopeful too, as that is a pretty good show in its own right.
However, let's not forget that this isn't the first time The Flash has had his own TV show.
I think it's safe to say that The Flash is already looking better than his 1991 appearance, although it has been suggested that original Flash actor John Wesley Shipp will be appearing in the pilot, with the possibility that he will become a recurring character if the series gets the green light.
Personally, I hope he turns up as Jay Garrick, the original Flash from the Golden Age of comics. The Flash has always had a strong tie with his other incarnations within the comics, so it would be a really good touch to see the original actor in that role.
Is this a show you'll be keeping an eye out for?

My Better Self – Dar Williams
Razor and Tie 7930182944-2
Last time I heard Dar Williams's music, it was back in 2000 on the brilliant chronicle of making one's way through melancholia, The Green World. The unplanned absence of the singer-songwriter from my life over her last two releases left me looking forward to her latest, My Better Self. Seeing a front cover photo of her playfully showing off a blueberry stained tongue gave me the impression that this would be an upbeat work from someone who found a degree of serenity and is comfortably holding on to it.
A listen to "I'll Miss You Till I Meet You" acknowledges that the material won't be as cheerful as the album's name or cover art. And that's okay because Williams crafts splendid lyrics of inner conflicts and daily musings. But, it brings up something that's not as easy to deal with overall on her sixth studio release: a lack of focus. My Better Self mixes strong originals with three covers of varying success. Her touring band gives sympathetic support while the guest musicians don't always create MVP work. For her, the album, to some degree, is a reaction of post-election 2004 with personal politics taking precedence. I hear engrossing character studies, while her most blatant political song, "Empire," runs along like a fevered dream of too many evenings watching 24 hour news channels and too many late nights reading blog entries.
Matters start well enough with "Teen For God," which finds Williams discussing how the urges of life are suppressed for the time being while thoughts concentrate on a Higher Being only to be supplanted by regrets that crop up in the future. She presents the scenario of what strict standards can do to a person without being overly righteous. It's probably one of the more humanistic portraits of lapsed Christianity found anywhere.
Her cover of Jules Shear's "Echoes" sounds just as vibrant as her own material because other than from his peers, Shear is one of his generation's more unrecognized songwriters.
(One of the advantages of writing a review is having a record company press release available which illuminates some of the artist's intentions. On her cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," Williams explains that it's a "commentary on who we are in the aftermath of the last election, no matter who you voted for." These intentions aren't available in the CD booklet, which causes the song's possible impact to be neutered. I'd have been interested in Williams using the title as the basis for another of her own insightful tunes.)
Of the guests who appear on "My Better Self," Soulive provides a foundation, and not much more of its known instrumental abilities, on the bluesy track, "Two Sides of the River." Marshall Crenshaw offers a nice counterpoint on vocals and lead guitar during a hoedown-like version of Neil Young's "Everybody Know This Is Nowhere." Ani DiFranco doesn't add much to the duet on the unnecessary "Comfortably Numb."
While I've mentioned some of the missteps found on "My Better Self," in the end, what holds much of it afloat is Williams' songwriting. She may strain a bit on tracks like "Beautiful Enemy" to make her political points in an artful manner, but her vision can be heard in full bloom on the closing track, "Hudson." Despite the uncertainty and fragile state of the present, she finds comfort in the vastness of nature and how it connects with and overcomes the human living among it.

I couldn't be happier with the way this grill looks on my truck! The instillation was no problem. Just follow the supplied instructions. I was a little worried that the factory grill would be visible behind the new mesh grill, but you can't see it at all. You won't regret getting the Grillcraft MX mesh grill. I also added a chrome hood protector/bug deflector. I definitely get alot more looks from the other truck drivers now!

Hi guys so today I'm going to go through some nail polish brands that totally recommend, so anyway let's get on with it. If you haven't heard of these be sure to check them out.
O.P.I – You guys have heard me raving about these literally everywhere. I love them with a passion, they might not be very easy on your purse but are definitely worth the money. They are so long wearing and they go extremely long without chipping and when you apply them they just glide on really easily.
M.A.C Studio Nail Lacquer – Surprisingly, these are not actually as pricey as some of the others and still give brilliant quality. 1 coat will give you a completely opaque finish, they dry quickly and best of all a little goes a long way so it is great value for money.
Deborah Lippmann – The first word that comes into mind … GLITTER!!! They are the kings and queens of all things glittery. The way it is made allows it to be applied thinly and the way the brush is made allows it to be applied in 1 stroke. #Amazing!
Elegant Touch – I know that these aren't a nail polish but they are fake nails. Basically you can get the clear one's and paint the, they look really natural on me because I have really small nails I find it impossible to get ones that fit because these are small and fit perfectly. They also come with a nail glue.
Rescue Beauty Lounge – Are a little bit pricier but are the best ones on the list. The application is like butter and it is so slick. The colors come in some amazing shades and as soon as you have put two coats it's completely opaque. They are £12.90 each I think but they are definitely worth the money and they will last you ages because 1 coat is nearly opaque.
So there you have it, a line up of some of my favorite nail polishes. I will also be doing a nail polishes I won't replace so be sure to check that out. Anyway I will see you next time. Bye!

Getting back to GNOME extensions, I've found that installing and using GNOME extensions is amazingly simple to make happen. Simply browse over to extensions.gnome.org and look for the extension that appeals to you. Click the switch from Off to On, and immediately you're prompted to install it. This process couldn't be any simpler.
Finding the right extensions for your desktop can absolutely make using the GNOME desktop even better than it is out of the box. For me, I prefer extensions that enhance my desktop usage by either speeding things up or making less work to get to things I need. Below you'll see some of my must have extensions.
Advanced Volume Mixer – Without question, the Advanced Volume Mixer is an extension I find invaluable for the GNOME desktop. Using this extension allows me to easily control the output of any application's volume. You can also adjust the volume of all available sound devices with a single pull-down menu.
Dash to Dock – Rather than installing another dock, I found that the Dash to Dock extension provided me with a fantastic dock alternative to the stand-alone docks found in the software repositories. One really nice feature I've found invaluable with this dock launcher is that it automatically provides me with my applications list at the bottom.
Drop Down Terminal – Instead of opening up a separate terminal window, I enjoy pressing my set hotkey and having my Drop Down Terminal appear from the top of the screen. The biggest reason this rocks is that I can run package updates in the background, then free my focus onto other tasks in the same general work space.
Impatience – As great as the GNOME desktop happens to be, making the animation speed faster simply makes using it even better, thanks to the Impatience extension. This increased GNOME desktop animation speed allows me to enjoy the cool compositing effects, without the usual slowdown that comes from the experience.
Netspeed – How fast is my Internet today? Am I seeing a bottleneck with ample upload speed yet a failing download speed? The Netspeedextension can be of help here by displaying how fast your up/down speeds are.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all desktop. For some of you, this may mean going with something with greater control within the GUI, such as KDE. Perhaps instead, using a more minimalist desktop like XFCE is what you're better off with. And yet others still, might find themselves feeling at home with the old GNOME 2 standby known as MATE. Whichever desktop you choose, I highly suggest trying all of them to see which one wins you over.
Speaking for myself, I think GNOME 3 is fantastic. Sure, it took some work to get used to a "new" way of doing things, yet at the end of the day I couldn't be happier with its feature set and performance. In the interest of full disclosure, I do run XFCE on my nephew's old laptop, since it's the desktop he's more satisfied with. But speaking for myself, I think GNOME is going to be my goto desktop environment for the foreseeable future. That is, of course, unless KDE woos me back somehow. And, considering I used to be a KDE user years ago, it could happen.

COMPETITIVE CHEER: Rochester remains perfect in winning district crown
Stoney Creek, Troy Athens, Rochester
Adams also advance to regional round
Twitter: @LocalSportsFans
TROY — In the midst of a perfect season, the pressure on top-ranked Rochester is starting to mount.
And while the Falcons were not perfect Saturday afternoon at Troy Athens, site of a Division 1 district competition, Rochester remained atop the pyramid with a three-round total of 789.84.
The Falcons won two of the three rounds and finished second in the other to outdistance themselves from the rest of the 14-school field. Rochester Stoney Creek (783.76), Troy Athens (781.9) and Rochester Adams (779.42) took the next three slots, as the top four teams from each district advance to the regional round Feb. 26-27 at sites across the state.
"I tell you what, the pressure is building," admitted veteran Rochester coach Susan Wood, who has guided the Falcons since 1982. "We were perfect with nine wins at competitions in the regular season. And while it prepares you for this stage, it doesn't make a difference how well you did in the regular season if you don't perform well at the district, regional or state finals. Not when there are a lot of good teams out there (can you have a bad day in the state tournament). As a coach I have been on both sides.
"I thought we did a good job today. We can get better, tighten up some things in Round II and make our Round III cleaner. We are getting there," continued Wood. "But you only have a couple of minutes on the mat. The pressure is there with the nerves being the (state tournament)."
The top four teams from the Athens district will join eight others schools at the Chippewa Valley regional with the top four finishers at each regional advancing to the state finals.
Livonia Stevenson was the first team left on the outside looking in at the district round, as the Spartans suffered some deductions in Round III to finish fifth at 769.92. Utica Eisenhower (767.32), Troy (764.38), Utica (726.36), West Bloomfield (718.52), Livonia Franklin (701.94), Warren Mott (666.32), Birmingham Seaholm (664.76),
Bloomfield Hills (652.00) and Oak Park (607.60) rounded out the team scoring.
Rochester captured the first round with 237.8 points, finished second in the second round (231.14) and won the final round with a 320.9 total to clinch the school's seventh district title in eight years.
The last time the Falcons were perfect this late in the season was 2009, coincidently the last year they won a state championship.
"It was a similar situation," noted Wood. "But we didn't let the pressure get to us that year. We've had years where we scored well all season and then had a bad round at the regional. It happened in 2011 and 2014. That is something that we need to concentrate on next week at the regional. There will be six really good teams there that are state finals worthy and only four will make it. You have to have three really good rounds. You can't have any glaring mistakes."
Stoney Creek, a perennial state power team, posted scores of 235.9 (second), 231.56 (first) and 316.3 (fourth) to grab second overall and to make the cut for the regional.
"You have to go out there with the mentality that you could win it. If you don't, then you might not score enough to advance," said Stoney Creek coach Trisha Williams. "We're in a great place (mentally) right now. We have consistently scored well all season and now we finished second today to advance. Now we must concentrate and work hard for the next round," continued Williams. "We work hard to try to get better every single day because now we have the regional doing up and there will be six really good teams there and only four will make it to the state finals. We don't want to be one of those teams that just misses. You have to keep getting better and believe that you can win."
Athens registered totals of 234.9 (third), 228.60 (fifth) and 318.4 (second) to grab the third qualifying spot.
"I think, realistically, you are just trying to survive to move onto the next round," said Athens coach Stephanie Brodsky. "Every team has really high goals. Every team wants to get to the state finals. But you can't get to the state finals if you don't do well at the district and regionals. So for my team, at this stage of the season, it's all about taking it one day at a time. I thought we did well today."
Adams came on strong to collect scores of 233.2 (fifth), 228.72 (fourth) and 317.5 (third) and place in the fourth slot overall.
Members of the OAA Red Division took the top four slots in the district, again signaling to be one of the state's toughest conferences.

Australian parts maker Pacifica Group Ltd. reports its first-half net profit soared 107% to A$15.1 million ($11.5 million), doubling year-ago's results.
The company says sales rose 10% to A$437.7 million ($333 million), due in large part to sales to General Motors Corp. for its new GMT900 fullsize light-truck platform in North America.
Pacifica, which makes brakes and clutches under the PBR International brand for GM, Ford Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp., says the result for the first six months ended June 30 is broadly in line with the company's expectations.
Pacifica credits, "the positive impact on profitability" to increased North American sales and strong growth in its AP Italia European operation.
"Against the background of a still-difficult automotive industry environment, we have achieved a satisfactory turnaround in our first-half earnings," Pacifica Managing Director John MacKenzie says.
"We expect the emerging cost benefits from our enlarged manufacturing base in Asia to underpin our long-term competitiveness."
Pacifica's North American operations recorded an increase in sales revenue of approximately 20%, largely due to the GMT900 light-truck platform, the company says. This was offset to some extent by a steeper-than-anticipated decline in demand for GM's aging midsize SUVs.
Nevertheless, margins at both Pacifica's Knoxville, TN, and Columbia, MO, plants improved on the back of increased sales. MacKenzie says he expects business for the GMT900 platform to remain at a similar level in the second half.
"In contrast, demand associated with GM's mid-range SUVs has been disappointing and is likely to remain so, ahead of the launch of the (Saturn Outlook and GMC Arcadia cross/utility vehicles in December and the Buick Enclave next year)," he says.
"The longer-term direction of overall North American light-truck volumes in a high fuel-cost environment is uncertain," he adds.
Meanwhile, Pacifica says its Australian business experienced tough trading conditions in the year's first half. A 35% drop in automotive revenue reflected both the relocation of its park-brake business to Thailand in 2005 and worse-than-expected softness in large passenger-car sales in the domestic market.
"PBR Australia's first half was very challenging," MacKenzie says. "Underlying demand remains a concern, but the second half will benefit from the commencement of supply of new products for Toyota's export Camry, as well as supply to the recently launched (GM Holden) VE Commodore.
"The Australian business continues to contend with the repercussions of structural change in the domestic automotive industry supplier base," he says.
Pacifica says AP Italia produced a very strong result, increasing first-half sales 35% and earnings more than 100%, reflecting new contracts progressively coming on stream that will fuel further growth over the balance of 2006.
"We continue to pursue opportunities to extend both AP Italia's drum-brake expertise and its customer relationships into the Asian region," MacKenzie says.
"We are also continuing to pursue the other aspect to our regional strategy, namely direct participation in the growth opportunities presented by the (Chinese) automotive market," MacKenzie says, noting the company is just completing construction of a foundry in Dalian.
While not large in volume terms, Pacifica will begin supplying calipers, rotors and parking brakes to Shanghai GM Automotive Co. Ltd. in early 2007.
Looking ahead to 2007, MacKenzie says the degree of earnings growth Pacifica can achieve is proving difficult to predict.
While growth is expected in Europe and Asia, "there are uncertainties attached to the current trend in Australian-produced vehicles and the outlook for the North American light-truck market," he says.

They simply sit in the back of the class, and watch the students do the assignment they were given online.
Tell me, how do students learn like this?
I think that teachers should continue to teach as they were, only using the computers as an aid.
First off I would like to say that I am a student in a school lead by technology. I would like to wish my opponent luck!
Allows for a paperless environment
My school is a paperless school. We achieve this by relying solely on Chrome books, Smart Boards and Laptops. All work gets submitted online to the website.
Easy to find information
With Students being able look up homework/projects along with messaging teachers online allowing any questions or concerns to be answered at the click of a few buttons. Even parents can join in to view all child's homework with the added perk of being when child turn in homework.
It is reliable
With everything being online, there is NO way for homework or projects/grades to be lost. Everything is time stamped preventing someone from trying to turn it in late.
We are barely in year zero of our program. But the teachers are not taking the incentives correctly. They should either go all the way or go home. But my teachers merely use the computers as an excuse to not teach.
What I am saying is, they should teach us in class, but we should do the work online.
I did not say the teachers should not use the technology. I say they should continue to teach us traditionally, using computers when necessary.
We students are not learning anything.
I must add you are incredibly lucky to get chromebooks.... we got very bad quality laptops, but that is another matter.
From what I understand, you are saying that your teachers are using technology as a way to get away from teaching. That teachers should teach out of textbooks and a blackboards with chalk.
Today is the Technology Age. Over the years new technologies and techniques of doing things get better, so why isn't education evolving? Nowadays, there is so much information available online allowing for education to available to all.
Learning Style
There are three main learning styles. Visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Visual learners learn best by reading and writing, like being able to read directions. Loving visual aids such as graphs. Auditory learners like talking to themselves, best with hearing directions. Kinesthetic do best by touching and figuring out themselves, and do best by figuring things out themselves.
**Sorry that this is not long, was at grandparents and did not have access to a computer!
Good Luck!
I said they should actually teach, using the computers to help them!
They cannot just tell us to do an assignment online without actually teaching us.
I have no problem using technology.

Address to Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs
Ibec's Director of EU and International Affairs Pat Ivory will today appear in front of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs to discuss the Future of Europe. Please find attached a copy of his opening address.
Key points Dr Ivory will make include:
Ibec is committed to Ireland's continued EU membership and active participation in an EU based on strong values, including openness to investment and trade. Now is the time to reflect upon what Ireland wants from the EU, and how we can continue to benefit from, as well as contribute to, the future of the union.
We welcome the EU's commitment to the trade agenda and further opening of markets across the world. We look forward to the conclusion of the EU free trade agreement with Japan, our major trading partner in Asia, and we also welcome opening negotiations with Australia and New Zealand. Of course all trade deals must be balanced and provide real opportunities for Irish business.
Tax policy is, and should remain, fully within the competence of member states only. We are extremely concerned about President Juncker's suggestion of moving towards qualified majority voting on taxation. It is essential that member states maintain full sovereignty when it comes to decision making on all taxation matters.
Ibec's vision for the Future of Europe involves:
An EU that adds value: The EU should prioritise deepening of the single market, including completing the digital single market, capital markets union and banking union.
An EU that is more efficient: To prosper, the EU must focus on efficiency and avoid interfering in areas best left to member states. It must respect the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity. Sensitive areas such as tax policy must be tailored to the needs of member state citizens and business models.
An EU that is flexible and meets the needs of different member states: Member states individual needs should also be considered at a European level. Ireland, for example, could benefit from having flexibility in EU fiscal support / Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) rules, which would allow the government to facilitate essential infrastructure developments.
An EU that is open to trade and investment: The EU should continue prioritising ambitious trade deals with third countries, including with the UK post-Brexit. It is essential that the relationship between the UK and Ireland is not jeopardised in the future relationship between the UK and EU.

Family Matters
I'm not a quilter, but I am fortunate to belong to a family who has two master quilters. I have learned much about quilts from them, and I realize one of the things which makes quilts beautiful is the selection of colors. A quilt begins with the selection of both light and dark colors. This is much like creating memories in a family — there must be memories tied to joyous and sad times. The holiday season provides families, especially pastoral families, with opportunities to create memories in their quilt of traditions — an heirloom to pass down to future generations.
Our society today seeks to convince us that memories can only be created with an outpouring of funds. We see the commercials for a week at a resort or a cruiseship or... The reality is few families have the resources for such activities, and they are usually concepts in the pastoral family budget. Memories, like stitches in a quilt, can be created with thought, and they do not have to be pricey! One of the most valuable stitches in the family memory quilt can be time. The intentional gift of time in the pastoral home means far more to its members than gifts money can buy. The holidays seem to increase the "musts" of the pastoral family: additional church services, more company and more visits to make! How does the pastoral family make certain they are family?
Memories are created because there is a plan! When we consider the Thanksgiving holiday, for instance, memories are created with food as the focal point. I remember teaching a college class; and as we talked about traditions, my students began to list what would be on the menu for the meal. They associated their memories with the food and the time spent around the table sharing stories and laughter. The students' greatest appreciation was the opportunity to sit and share across generations and to have the time to do so.
Pastoral families have to be cautious with being so busy taking care of the needs of others that they fail to family themselves! Holidays are the time when it is important to give the gift of intentional time for the members of their family. Meals should be times to enjoy one another and share the joy of being together. Many of the deep, spiritual concepts preached from the pulpit are applied in the home. If the time and intention is not taken to create memories in the pastoral home, our children have no real foundation for their launch into the world. Scripture reminds us in Psalms 127:1: "If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks" (The Message).
Creating memories takes as much thought as making a quilt. Thought goes into the selection of the fabrics and thread long before the completion of the quilt. Pastoral families who want to have memories of their time together have to make certain they are providing the materials, time and intention to create their memories.
Wilma Kirk Lee, MSW, LCSW, writes from the parsonage in Houston, Texas. She is the executive director of the Center for Family Wholeness. She has been a pastoral spouse for 46 years and the mother of two adult daughters, and "Go-Go" to three grandchildren.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hybrid hive / colony maintenance
In: Frequently Asked Questions
Viewed: 5,235 times
The Hybrid gives beekeepers the advantage of being able to manage their colony by rotating frames between the brood box and the super. This can be beneficial for keeping your worker population strong and can also help with winter preparations or encouraging the bees into the super for quicker uptake.
If you notice a strong honey flow, and your bees are busy filling frames, you might want to consider storing traditional frames outside of the hive for winter feeding. To do this you will need extra traditional frames to replace for the ones you have removed.

Remember when Michael Jackson's hologram performed at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards? Or when people lost their minds when a hologram of Tupac performed at Coachella in 2012? I watched it on a live stream and it was pretty cool. But would I pay concert ticket money to see a hologram perform for 2 hours. The family of the late and great Selena Quintanilla think you will.
Last week the family announced that they have been working with the company Acrovirt to develop a walking, talking, singing and dancing hologram version of Selena. The family hopes that by 2018 the digital version of their star will be ready to go on tour and record new music in a project called "Selena the One".
Some may think the idea is weird of creepy but Selena's sister Suzette said in an interview with Billboard, "By no means is this something that's creepy or weird. We think it's something amazing. A lot of new fans that did not get to experience what Selena was about hopefully will be able to get a sense of her with this new technology that's going to be coming out."
Could this be the future of music and concerts?
If the technology get really good could we one day be going to an Elvis Presley concert, or a Beatles show.

Don't have any gutters on your home?
Each home is different and can require a unique solution. As you can see from the pictures on the left, not having gutters can cause serious damage to your home. The garage door damaged pictured on top is a direct result of not having a gutter. Over time the water dripping from the roof splashes on the ground keeping the door wet eventually causing rot. To replace this garage door cost just over $2,000.00. The price of a gutter over the garage door with a downspout cost only $150.00
The most damaged areas of a home as a result of not having gutters are decks, garage doors, door frames, window frames, foundations, basements, sidewalks, driveways, landscape, siding, fascia and more.
Most homes have standard 5" gutters installed. In some cases it is necessary to install 6" oversized gutters on some homes or as seen in the picture on the left just portions of a home. Below is a way for you to determine whether you will need standard 5" gutters or the 6" oversized gutters.
The Solution! Have seamless gutters installed. By installing seamless gutters of either 5″ or 6″ size, we can divert the water from your roof line to areas of your home where the water will not cause damage or dangerous ice patches in the winter.
Basic 5" Standard Gutter Qualifications:
- All gutter lengths under 40' with at least 1 downspout
- Gutters over 40' in length have should have 2 downspouts
- Gutters do not overflow on regular or normal rains
- No upper roofs gutters should be draining into lower 5″ gutters
Basic 6" Oversized Gutter Qualifications:
- Gutter lengths over 40' that cannot have 2 downspouts
- Lower gutters that have upper gutters draining into them
- Long runs over 60'
- Roof lines with tremendous amounts of water concentrating to a small portion of gutter.
- Inside valleys where the water is flowing at great speed, and typically overflows during heavy rains.

December 1915 - June 1916 Early days in France
The 130th (St John) Field Ambulance arrived in France on Saturday 4th December 1915 and spent their first 6 months or so in Theatre on the Neuve Chapel sector of the Western Front as one of the Divisions of the XI Corps - 1st Army. The units of the 38th (Welsh) Division spent the first few weeks in France being instructed in the art of trench warfare by the more experienced units of XI corps but were soon thrown into the front line on their own.

Three trends fuelling Southeast Asia
KUALA LUMPUR, 14 MARCH 2011 - Consumer safety, next generation communication technologies and healthcare are three key trends that are fuelling technological economic growth in Southeast Asia, according to global measurement firm Agilent Technologies.
During a briefing in Malaysia, Agilent Technologies President, Malaysia and Singapore, Soon-Chai Gooi, said: "The three key drivers are consumer safety, in particular food safety, water quality and environmental testing, and next generation communication trends such as the increasing demand for bandwidth and network security issues, as well as the increasing demand for health-care research for the global ageing population."
"With the world's economic centre shifting to emerging economies, these global trends represent an opportunity for Asian economies," said Gooi. "This is especially so as governments look to diversify their economies, attract foreign investment, develop their workforce and tap into new export markets."
"For example, our chemical analysis group has identified key growth opportunities in areas like food safety and environmental analysis," he said.
Agilent Technologies Electronic Measurements Group vice president and general manager, South Asia Pacific and Korea field operations, Dennis Au, said 4G and long-term evolution (LTE) are expected to drive communication technologies in 2011 and beyond. "Technology is changing the way we live and work every day. With the rapid development of smart phones and information technology driving instant communication, there will be a need for significant investments in bandwidth, quality and network security issues."
"Since we began operations here more than 40 years ago, Agilent has been supporting Southeast Asia's economic growth," said Gooi. "We are investing in the region through our operations, technology and talent development."

Last Minute Holidays
The difficult thing sometimes is not to get what we want but to know what we want. Once we have analysed our needs and wants (because holidays are that time of year in which you have to let your imagination run wild and realise our dreams) we will have to consider our budget.
But do not panic: there are many more options than we can adapt not only to our tastes and desires but also to our budget. The trick? Spend a little time planning those dream holidays and do so with some foresight and try to find a destination and accommodation that allows us to control our activities and expenses in advance.
The planning is often impossible with our daily lives, either because we book our holidays off at the last minute, or because we are somewhat chaotic and disorganised (yes, it's the case for many). Luckily, the tourism sector in most of the destinations understands this and offers help for all those who at this point in July still have not got a clear idea of where to spend your days off.
Second chance are the last minute offers. You have to remember that they are not a miracle worker. When you are late you may have to settle for what there is, but if you look carefully maybe you will find precisely what you are looking for. So keep an open mind and get ready to enjoy a holiday.
1.- Choose more than one destination that you would like to go to (think, there are sure to be many more than you think). 3 should be enough.
2.- Search within each destination the area in which you would most like to set up your base camp (if you are going with is suitable for families and what other services you want within the area you have chosen.
4.- Do a search in hotel comparators to see the basic characteristics of the accomodation. Choose the ones that appeal to you for quality and price.
5.- Search each hotel on its official website and make a reservation from there. Virtually all hotels offer better price on their website than on the specialised comparison websites and search engines. You're saving the middleman.
6.- Check all the offers that fit your dates.
7.- Book it up and countdown the days!
You don't believe it? Then dare to check it for yourself. For example, choose a hotel group with accommodations specifically geared for families who travel with children and who want a special, different, dynamic and fun holiday. Check out Mallorca, one of the least accessible in summer, not only for price but because getting something on this Mediterranean island at the last minute can seem like a miracle. Check the offer's tag of your official website, it is sure to be as useful as a comparison website if not better. In fact, there are chains like IBEROSTAR that promise to match the price if you find your holiday cheaper on another website than their official website. In fact, in addition to matching the price they will give you a 5% discount on top of that.
If you have been convinced by the chosen destination, other accommodations on Mallorca that have very interesting offers include, Protur Hotels, Garden Hotels, Ferrer Hotels and Gran Isla, which stands out with 2 large family resorts that seem tailor made for those who have children: the Pirates Village Apartments and the Jutland Family Resort.

Hello Again! Happy Michaelmas Season!Submitted by Pam on Sun, 09/28/2014 - 03:27
Many years ago - many, my family persuaded this shy, nearly friendless teen to enter the Junior Miss Pageant. Since I was not particularly talented, I decided I would speak. And what I shared with that huge, invisible audience hiding in the darkened auditorium were words from Confuscious:
"It is better to light one small candle, than to curse the darkness."
Hello and Sending LoveSubmitted by Pam on Wed, 09/10/2014 - 16:35
As much as this space and the friends I have made here continually fill me with joy, I am not ready yet to return 100%. But I do want to dip my toe in, say hello and thank each and every one of you who have reached out to me and to Diane in so many lovely and heartfelt ways during these past two months. I have been completely overwhelmed by the out-pouring of love, prayers, warm hugs and reminders of friendship that have been sent our way - that are still being sent our way.
Sadness and Love, and a HiatusSubmitted by Pam on Mon, 07/28/2014 - 14:05
(Hello - this is Pam's daughter Diane posting. I'm posting this to both her blog and mine.)
Life is woven from both beauty and tragedy. Two weeks back, tragedy struck my family when Mom's husband of 25 years passed away suddenly from a heart attack. We both loved him dearly, as did so many people. He had one of those twinkling spirits that always made people brighten around him.

The Corporate Leadership Council Report published in 2006 combines key findings from previous Council research on performance management, employee engagement, and high-potential employee development using data from 135 organisations and more than 90,000 employees.
The Council examined 13 items related to performance management systems across three broad categories:
Content: Elements considered the "nuts and bolts" of a performance management system, including 360-degree reviews, forced ranking, number of formal reviews, and presence and challenge of development plans.
Connection and Understanding: Employees' understanding of and relationship to the performance management system, including their understanding of the process and evaluation standards, belief that they are held accountable for the skills, behaviors and outcomes that are critical to the success of the organization, and their assessment of the link between the performance management system and organizational strategy.
Fairness and Credibility: Employees' belief that they receive the performance ratings they deserve and that the system is fair and credible.
They found that it was possible to improve employee performance by over 36% through ensuring your employees understand the performance standards against which they will be assessed.

Let's talk effective goal setting.
Whatever your personal and business goals are for this year, here are my top tips for setting effective goals, making sure you stay on track and achieve them
Tips for effective goal setting
Just a little note before I start. Some of the tips may seem to contradict other tips. This is simply because we're all different and some tips will work better for some people and other tips may be better for you.
Get clear about what you want and why you want it.
Okay, so you really wouldn't build a house without first laying strong foundations and I strongly suspect that you don't just get in your car and start driving without knowing your destination.
Being clear about your goal and why you want it is essential for effective goal setting. It really is the equivalent of laying strong foundations.
Knowing why you want to achieve your goal is making sure those foundations are super strong and your ongoing reason to keep going.
Example: My next blogging goal is to achieve over 50,000 page views per 30 days on my blog. The reason I want to achieve this goal is because it means more people are visiting my blog on a daily basis which in turn will help me to increase my blogging income, which will allow me to work anywhere at any time doing what I love and giving me the lifestyle I love.
TIP: Keep asking why do I want that until you get to the core reason.
NOTE: This is not my ultimate goal, it's a step up goal and will continuously increase.
Which leads me nicely onto my next tip.
Start small and step up your goals
Whilst I absolutely encourage you to have big goals, I also encourage you to set your first goal in that journey to your ultimate goal really small.
Let's take my blog page views goal. Ultimately within the next 12 months, my goal is to be getting over 100,000 page views to my blog per 30 day period. Whilst my page views are growing nicely, I know it's going to take me a while to push up to this level. I finished 2016 around 48,000. So, the next step up for me is 50,000 page views.
From there I'll probably go to 55,000, 60,000…
How can you break down your goal into a really small step up from right where you are now?
Always keep your ultimate goal in mind but then look at where you are right now – What is a small step up from where you are now? Make that your next goal.
When you've got a really big goal that is going to take quite a long time (3 months plus) to achieve, by using this step up system, you will stay motivated and focused because you'll be achieving your goals at a good pace.
Now here's where I'm going to contradict myself a little
I'm going to start off by talking about setting yearly goals and then breaking those goals down into monthly, weekly… goals and then I'll talk about the method I use now which works with the step up system that I talked about above.
Yearly, monthly, weekly… goal setting
This is a wonderful system that really helps you to keep focused and on track. It's the system I work through in my Goal Setting for Business Success Course (ideal for procrastinators).
The basic idea is that you start off with your ultimate goal, from there, set your goals for the year, then from your yearly goals, break those goals down to make your monthly, weekly and daily goals.
It's a fantastic and super simple method to use and it means that every day, your daily goals will help you to move closer to your ultimate goals.
No time scale goals with the step up method
So earlier on in this post, I talked about the step up method of goal setting. I explained that my next step up for my blog is to achieve 50,000 page views in a 30 day period. Just to explain, the 30-day period is simply because google analytics dashboard has an option to view page views over 30-days, so that's just what I go with.
Now, let's say I set this as a monthly goal – In January, my page views will be over 50,000. It's a great goal but by changing it to a simple anytime step up goal, I can step it up anytime. If I hit that goal by the middle of the month, I can celebrate and then move my goal up to the next step. It also gives me some flexibility. If I don't hit this goal until midway through the next month, I won't feel like I'm failing. I'll just keep working on my goal every day until I get there.
Which method works best?
Both are effective goal setting methods and work equally well, I actually use both methods alongside each other.
I love the step up goal for my blogging page view go
als but my goal to write 100 blog posts in 2017 is broken down into weekly goals. Find which works for you and your individual goals.
Keep your goals i
n front of you
One of the things I highly recommend is that you write your goals down freshly on a daily basis. You can also, simply start each day by asking yourself "What is my ultimate goal?" and "What can I do today to move me closer to my ultimate goal?"
Read 2 questions to help you achieve your goals
The important thing is to stay focused on a daily basis what your goals are so that you stay on track and don't go off on tangents that don't lead you to where you want to be.
Prioritize your goals
Let's face it, we all have a lot of things to do in our day to day life. We all have the same 24 hours each day and I strongly recommend you get plenty of sleep in those hours. How are you spending the rest of your time though? Are you dedicating it to the things that really matter to you?
Prioritize your goals and aim to work on them every day (every business day for business goals).
A question I like to ask at the end of the day is "What did I do today to move me close to achieving my goals?"
If you haven't done anything that moves you closer to achieving your goals, then I can pretty much guarantee that you're not prioritizing your goals.
If your goals are important to you, they're worth prioritizing – If they're not that important to you, ditch them and find a goal that really inspires you.
Effective goal setting recap
These are my key tips to help with effective goal setting and helping you to stay focused and achieve your goals.
- Get clear about what you want to achieve and why
- Start small and step up your goals
- Have a method for breaking your goals down into smaller steps
- Keep your goals in front of you
- Prioritize your goals

Taxi Safety Is Linked To Whom the Driver Leases Vehicle From
Taxi drivers who lease cars from their neighbors and countrymen tend to have better safety records than those who rent from people they don't share such ties with, according to a new study.
Cabbies who own their cars usually lease them to other drivers when they're not working. If a car needs repairs, the owner pays.
That means the lessors don't need to worry about what a quick stop will do to a cab's brakes or about paying for a new bumper after a fender-bender.
Owners tend to rent to drivers from the same country and the same neighborhood when they can. Those drivers—perhaps anticipating awkward exchanges at the next block party or religious service—get in fewer accidents and receive fewer tickets than lessors from outside such circles, the study says.
The authors of the study, which is still being reviewed and hasn't been formally published, say it helps prove that people are less likely to act selfishly when they have social and cultural ties with the people who would be hurt by their actions.
"If you have a relationship with that person, that acts as a substitute for a formal contract," said Henry Schneider, an economics professor at Cornell University's Johnson School of Management who co-authored the study. "It sort of seems obvious after the fact, but there's not a whole lot of evidence out there in the literature."
The study examined only the roughly one-fifth of yellow taxis whose medallions are owned by drivers who tend to build relationships with the people they lease to. An earlier study by Mr. Schneider found that cars driven solely by lessees are usually in worse condition and get in far more accidents than those driven by their owners at least some of the time.
Taxi-industry veterans say they've seen a range of factors—including who drivers lease from—that determine a cabbie's safety.
Bhairavi Desai, the founder of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, which advocates on behalf of drivers, said she has seen a correlation between how much owners charge and how safe their drivers are. She argues that cabbies who pay less per shift don't feel as much pressure to compete for fares, and so are less likely to make risky moves such as cutting across four lanes of traffic to pick up a passenger.
"It gives the drivers a lot more ease," she said. "You don't have to work as much, you don't have to work as fast."
Victor Salazar, a taxi driver for two decades, leases his cab mainly to three people: his brother, a fellow Ecuadorian he met at La Guardia Airport and a Pakistani he has worked with at the Taxi Workers Alliance. He has deep ties with all three, he said, but he tends to trust most drivers he meets—after a careful check of their driving record.
"The drivers are fantastic people, great individuals," Mr. Salazar said. "We treat each other as brothers. We're all brothers."

At this point, it is indisputable that the PS4 has the best lineup of exclusive games of all the major consoles on the market- the Switch has just launched (although with resounding success), the Wii U's lead in this area has long since been lost, and the Xbox One has seen a number of exclusives getting cancelled. Meanwhile, the PS4 is channeling the glory days of the PS2, with exclusives from first parties and third parties, Japan and the West, and across all major genres conceivable.

Sited in some of the finest country you can imagine, on the north east coast of the Ring of Kerry, Dooks was established in 1880 by officers of the Royal Horse Artillery, who were billeted at the nearby Glenbeih artillery range.
Although the original architect of this fine links course is not known, it was revamped by Eddie Hacket in 1973 and consideration is currently being given to upgrading again.
Set out on three sets of sand dunes reaching down to the bay, this is an excellent layout. Although less famous than some of its neighbours this course should none the less be played on any tour to this magnificent part of South West Ireland.

Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa's surprise decision to resign in June has forced school board members into a stark choice: conduct a national search to replace him or tap someone from his staff to fill the role?
Each option has pros and cons. Each has support from some school board members, who are expected to debate the matter publicly next week.
But as board members mull the choices, the question stands as a proxy for whether an outsider could continue Avossa's reforms or would inevitably steer the county's public schools on a different course.
RELATED: Spot that lured schools chief quietly builds publishing empire
Avossa took over the school district in 2015 vowing to be a "disruptor." He and his administration worked to remake school operations on many fronts, refiguring the district's management structure, pushing principals to pay more attention to test scores and focusing more deeply on raising key metrics such as high school graduation rates and elementary reading scores.

Hiring another reformer three years later could undermine key initiatives that are still being put in place, some board members warned.
Among those pushing for a current school district administrator to replace Avossa as chief executive of the county's public school system is Avossa himself.
In his resignation letter Monday, Avossa called for board members to appoint one of his subordinates.
"I recommend the board strongly consider appointing an internal candidate that has intimate knowledge of our work and has demonstrated the ability to deliver results," he wrote.
His suggestion has early support from at least three board members, who told The Palm Beach Post that promoting one of Avossa's deputies would likely be the best way to maintain continuity as the district moves forward with reforms to its roughly 180 public schools.
"To me, it would make sense to bring in someone who has inside knowledge, working knowledge," School Board member Barbara McQuinn said.
Even if an outside candidate could get up to speed quickly on the district's strategic plan, she said, "it still takes knowing the people to get the best out of everyone."
School Board Vice Chairwoman Debra Robinson said a talented outsider would inevitably want to "put their own mark on the district," something that could be counterproductive since the district is already "headed in the right direction."
"I just don't want to do the stutter-step," Robinson said, "and I don't want to have somebody come in and have to acclimate them to the work that's being done when they're looking at making their own mark."
RELATED: PBC schools superintendent Robert Avossa to resign for publishing gig
Board member Frank Barbieri echoed those points, saying that it's important to tap "somebody from within that's very familiar with our plan."
Among potential internal candidates, early speculation quickly focused on Deputy Superintendent David Christiansen, a longtime acquaintance of Avossa who he recruited in 2015 to oversee the county's schools and academic staff.
Also among those mentioned as a potential contender was Donald Fennoy, the school district's chief operating officer, who Avossa brought with him from Fulton County, Ga., soon after taking the job.
But other board members are skeptical about appointing an internal candidate without surveying the rest of the nation for potential talent.
Board member Karen Brill said the school district is full of rising stars but none who have ever held the top job in a school district.
I do not believe we have anybody who is capable of taking the helm of a district this size," she said. "Being superintendent of a district this large is not the same as being in a leadership role. And we have made so much progress. I would look for somebody who has a proven success rate."
Board member Marcia Andrews said that she would be open to internal and external candidates but said she felt there needed to be "a process and competition."
"I'm always looking to make sure that we do have a process," she said.
In 2015, the school board hired Ray and Associates, a national search firm whose two-month search cost the school district $72,000. The search ended with the hire of Avossa, who has received consistently high marks from board members.
Barbieri said he worried that another national search would be time-consuming and redundant if board members are generally satisfied with the school district's direction.
Brill, though, said that board members owe it to their constituents to do a thorough and careful search.
"I do not want to see us make a hasty decision," she said. "In my opinion, the superintendent of Palm Beach County schools is the most important position in all of Palm Beach County."

This is the beginning of my "Truth Declaration for the Day" series.
"The Perfect Love of God Keeps Me Safe Today."
In 2016, we live in crazy exciting, and crazy terrifying times (depending on our perspective). There are earthquakes happening, erratic and dangerous storms, alien signals from space, the threat of WWIII, an incoming Nibiru Planetary System that might throw ours for a big loop. What's a person to do?!
Here's how we will begin to be centered in peace during these times. God–the Source of all creation–is perfect. Therefore the Love pouring forth from God is perfect, good, and life sustaining. We will live by the truth, not by what we see with the physical body's eyes, because what we experience through the body's system is created by a belief system based on fear and separation from God. It's a "deceptive matrix." As we become filled with a Love system based on Divine Love, we can experience the miracles of a more loving world.
Continue to firmly insist and declare the truth of God's perfect Love, and the Spirit of God will affirm it along with you. If you have been filled with the Holy Spirit, you will feel the affirmation of agreement deep within as you insist on this truth and speak it out loud.

July 28th, 2014, 22:11 Posted By: wraggsterA year has passed and ScummVM 1.7.0 is here.
With this release we have added support for 45 completely new games. These are:
The Neverhood
Mortville Manor
Return to Ringworld
Chivalry is Not Dead
Also, we have updated the MT-32 emulator, added an OpenGL backend, improved many aspects of the GUI, enhanced the AGOS engine, made Urban Runner's videos less CPU-demanding, fixed tons of bugs in dozens of SCI games, improved sound in Loom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and improved platform portability for the Tony and Tinsel engines.
But this is not all. We have added experimental support for the OUYA console (we couldn't add GCW-Zero support simply because sev still awaits his console from Kickstarter), made major improvements to the PS2 port and merged the Bada with Tizen ports.
The full list with all changes mentioned can be found in our release notes and the release can be obtained as usual from our downloads page.
Everybody Way Oh!
