"I wish to thank you for your guidance in my most recent transactions of selling my practice and real estate. your evaluation of my practice was most helpful in understanding how such determinations are made.

These life transitions are fraught with stress provoking issues.
Again I wish to thank you for your expertise, guidance, and recommendations. "

""I must commend Jean and Paul Fallago in the sale of my practice and of the real estate that accomompined it. Some routine obstacles arose during the selling process but were quickly resolved through the firm's efforts. The actual transition after the sale has been seamless.

In summary, Jean and Paul exude confidence in the transition process and were a tremendous asset to me.""

Afterwards, your mediation skills worked wonders in resolving all the issues that arose, and moved the process along rapidly. I unhesitatingly recommend you and your firm."
"Our practice transition could not have gone more smoothly. Peter has an incredible ability to bring both sides to common ground quickly and find a win-win outcome to the benefit of both parties."
"Jean Fallago was instrumental in the acquisition of my dental practice. She guided me though the process and prevented me from making several costly mistakes.

"It was a pleasure working with Peter and Jean. You found a wonderful dentist to take over my practice, and labored diligently to make the sale happen. You created a win-win situation for me and the buyer. Both Jean and peter are true professionals."
"It has been a pleasure dealing with Peter and I would like to epxress my sincere gratitude to him for his efforts in marketing my practice.

Peter is an experienced professional who puts alot of energy into all his transitions.
"Finding the right practice for me was no easy task. I looked at practices in six states in the Northeast before I found the right one, and I really feel that The Almonte Fallago Group's capabilities and understanding of my needs was the key to this great match. I trust them."
"When I purchased my practice, The Almonte Fallago Group was right on the money about location and practice potential. I trust their knowledge of practice transitions, their experience, and their integrity."
"The Almonte Fallago Group made selling my practice quick and painless."
"When I first talked with The Almonte Fallago Group, I had substantial loans from dental school. Peter demonstrated to me that it would take years to pay off my loans if I remained an associate. He also showed me what I could earn if I bought a practice. With their advice on how to obtain financing, I went for it. Now I couldn't be happier that I did."
"The Almonte Fallago Group is the consummate deal maker. When I sold my practice, I marveled at how effectively they negotiate. Always professional and courteous. Always patient. They listen to you as if you're the most important person in the room."

AFN's Defense Media Center Purchases Volicon System
The Defense Media Center (DMC) of the American Forces Network (AFN) has purchased a Volicon Observer system to monitor and log the unit's broadcast content.
The DMC manages the AFN's Riverside, Calif. broadcast center and will link the Volicon technology into the operation's LAN. This move will allow desktop monitoring of AFN television and radio broadcast channels. The Observer will automatically ingest, reference and replay all as-run traffic data and will also alert operators to transmission anomalies such as video or audio loss, absence of captioning and blank screen conditions.
"The DMC is an excellent example of the growing numbers of media organizations that are moving away from traditional broadcasting technologies and towards digital, file-based systems running in the existing IT environment," said Julius Perl, Volicon's vice president of marketing. "State-of-the-art solutions such as the Observer are enabling this strategy, by making it easy for operators to access, monitor, share, and analyze media assets and data right from their own desktops."
The AFN provides "back home" television and radio programming to some 800,000 U.S. service men and women, along with Department of Defense civilians, located in 177 countries and aboard U.S. Naval vessels.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Akira Abderrahman hit his third home run of the season in the fourth inning to tie the Lewis & Clark Pioneers with the Whitworth Pirates before the Pios allowed eight-straight runs in a 9-2 defeat at Merkel Field on Sunday.
In the final Northwest Conference-counting game of the four-game set, the Pios pulled even with Abderrahman's homer following Jacob Yamane's RBI double in the second. Abderrahman was the only Lewis & Clark batter to have multiple hits, finishing 2 for 3.
Max Gordon pinch hit for Abderrahman in the ninth inning and hit a RBI single to end the stretch of unanswered runs by the Pirates. Cooper Larson and Ben Beck also had hits for the Pios. Lewis & Clark had two runners on in the third and sixth innings, but couldn't bring them in.
Robert Reaser (2-4) threw the first four-plus innings for Lewis & Clark before Nat Richman finished the game. The pair combined for four strikeouts.
Matthew Young (4-2) was the winning pitcher for Whitworth (18-10; 9-9 NWC), tossing eight innings with eight strikeouts. Garrett Hughes, JT Phelan and Yamane each had three hits, as the Pirates totaled 15.
Game 2
Lewis & Clark allowed five runs in the opening inning on the way to a 10-5 defeat against Whitworth in Sunday's finale.
Trailing 7-0 entering the fifth, junior Sean Shepherd hit a three-run home run to put the Pioneers on the board. A RBI by Kellen Ochi in the sixth and a sacrifice fly by Ben Beck in the seventh scored Lewis & Clark's other runs. Ochi finished with a season-high three hits in five at-bats, which led the Pios along with Shepherd's 3 for 4 performance. Shepherd now has five three-hit games this season.
Connor Eggleston and Beck each finished with two hits, and Eggleston had a double.
Andrew Yarak (2-5) started and pitched a couple of innings before Austin Conniff, Chandler Vieira and Max Gordon finished the game. Vieira threw 3 1/3 innings and gave up one run for the longest relief stint.
The Pioneers stranded three runners in the opening inning. Ochi led the game off with a double followed by a Matt Donovan walk. Both moved into scoring position after a wild pitch by Whitworth starter Brady Simmelink. Eggleston struck out, Shepherd walked and Tommy Massari popped out to end the inning.
The Pirates scored their five runs in the next half-inning. Simmelink (3-0) went on to throw five innings and gave up seven hits with four strikeouts. Whitworth had four doubles in the game and was led by Cody Simmons' 3 of 4 performance.
Lewis & Clark (5-25; 4-14 NWC) celebrates Senior Day as part of their four-game series with Whitman this weekend at the Huston Sports Complex. The first three games count toward the NWC record, and the first doubleheader is on Saturday starting at noon.
Other Northwest Conference Scores - Sunday

When I walked the Magic Island path on November 14th, 2011, I have to confess something:
I didn't know how much I weighed.
Now, a statement like that wouldn't seem to be a huge thing, as if you asked 100 people their weight, most wouldn't be able to give you an exact figure. Now, consider this:
I had no idea what my actual weight was.
If you go back to those 100 people and asked them what they thought their weight was, 95-99 of them would be able to tell you within, I would say, 10lb or 5kg depending on what part of the world you're in. I, on the other hand, would have been way off, and not by a small amount.
Now, as I depart this morning for Hawaii, I can say this:
I've lost (at least) 180 pounds in 2 years
At that time, the best guess that we have as far as a weight at that time is something well above 500 pounds. Which really makes what I did in 2011 that much more amazing. I flew myself all the way over to the other side of the world, using a single seat (though it was a very difficult fit into the single seat), travelling around a new country to see tons of sights, and then flying back home
Looking back, that trip was just beginning a journey that is being capped off (for the moment) with a return trip to a place where I missed out on so much last time.
My original plan (which I hadn't really planned out too well, as I well hadn't planned it) was to travel by bus to Pearl Harbor, and visit there. After that, I was then going to head to Ala Moana mall and meet up with beedoo and her travelling party, where we would enjoy a going away dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Due to my poor planning of the day in Hawaii, when I arrived, I was frantically trying to figure out how to store my bags; if I'm remembering correctly, beedoo may have mentioned to me the Aloha Airport Delivery and Storage people, but I didn't store any of their contact information. Not only that, I was worried about having to pay overage fees for the baggage while I travelling back to the mainland.
Among that was spending time in a restroom where, while changing clothes for the day, I worked out what the baggage fees were and also reorganized the bags to ensure that I was closer to the weight limit. When I went to contact the people from the baggage place, I didn't get through right away, which put me in a bit of a fit, and made me worried that they didn't exist.
Ultimately, however, they did answer and picked up my bags, even allowing me to pay for the storage when I picked it up since there were no ATMs at the airport, and the only US currency I had on me were a few $1 notes I hadn't changed plus some assorted coins. They provide a great service and it is something that is indispensable since the Honolulu Airport doesn't have any on-site storage facilities.
Unfortunately, this had frustrated me already, but my next course of action was to go to the post office and ship out the box of stuff that I was bringing home. Unlike many other airports, Honolulu does not have a post office inside the airport. However, I found out that the post office was not that far away:
Instead of retelling the story, I will insert a portion of an email I sent to beedoo while sitting at the interisland terminal while walking to theBus to go to Ala Moana. The spelling is as it was on the email:
…I was off to the post office. Or so I thought. I get I where I can finally see the post office and realize that I have to go across a busy street mud block and there is a fence. So I start walking towards what look like police officers on bikes, which is what they were.
However as I get to the curb, it's not a straight up and down curb, it's angled, so then I wind up losing my balance and falling. Not into grass or anything but a rock garden and thankfully I don't thinking anything was hirt myself especially. The cops saw this and asked if I was ok and u am, maybe done scratches cut nothing major
So, after that, it was off to Ala Moana shopping center and then to home.
Before I went to Australia, I started to do something that was, initially, to allow me to get used to the concept of being more active – for bushwalking (which sadly we did not do very much of), doing different tours, and just general moving around. That was to go to the gym.
I started out with a guest pass at a gym in the town I work in (which, incidentally, has a location in a town close to beedoo, which helped in choosing the gym, as we were thinking that we'd possibly go to the gym while I was there), and that guest pass, based on my work timeline, allowed me to go to the gym after work.
In the two years and 4 months since, I've been to the gym well, nearly every night after work. In fact, the times that I have not gone to the gym after work are very few – maybe under 50 or so, and most of them actually coming this last summer due to a new post work activity that I have discovered – swimming, which I finally learnt to do this summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work for 6 weeks.
Anyway, I started off doing just some light work (i.e. treadmill for around 30 minutes at a very low speed, like 2 mph/3km/h), then moving along to more heavy duty stuff like the elliptical; at first about 5 minutes, but then going up to 15, then 20, then 25 minutes. Incidentally, I'm now up to a full hour nightly on the elliptical.
As a matter of fact, I had already started to lose quite a bit of weight before going to Australia; if you look at the difference in my passport picture (taken in July) and pictures taken while in Australia, there was already a difference in my face. Again, not having any earthly idea of what my actual weight was, I have no way of quantifying how much I had lost up until that time.
The reality is that I weighed, even after losing some weight, probably over 500 pounds
However, the weight really did not start to come off until March of 2012 when, realizing that it was time to finally make a change, I bought a gift card from Costco for the "weekends off" Nutrisystem plan to give that plan a go. Ever since then, I have kept up the Nutrisystem plan, but going with the full orders, as that is really a much better value for your money than the weekends off plan, especially when I am able to get the plan for quite literally half off (thanks to the awesomeness of Costco, where not only do I save, I manage to get 3% cash back through my membership)
It was shortly after that when I was, only about 4 years after buying a high-capacity scale, able to finally get a measurement of my weight. At that time, I weighed 203kg, or 446lb. I kept going with the plan, and the pounds kept coming off. Throughout 2012, I would check my weight, and it would go down little by little, progressing through the (in kgs) 180s, 170s and 160s, and then into the 150s, which is what I wound up the year in, with a weight in February of 2013 of 154.3kg, or about 340lb.
Among the things that I was able to do during this time was to basically buy some new clothes, but not only that, I was able to fit into clothes that I fit in while I was in school, or more than 10 years ago while I was on my way up. One of my proudest moments was when I was able to fit into my suit jacket. This is a piece of clothing that, the last time I had worn it, I was a senior in high school. Because of my weight, I was unable to wear my suit to my brother's wedding and it really depressed me because it made me feel like an outcast since I was the only one who wasn't wearing a suit, rather I was forced to wear a sweater.
For a while, my weight had levelled off at around 320 lb (145kg) for some time, but a few weeks ago, while I was still doing my meal plan, I started to increase the amount of exercise that I would do, ramping up to the full hour on the elliptical that I described above, and in doing so, burning right around 1,000 calories every night. In that time, I have been able to take off some more weight, bringing my most recent weigh in at the scale in the gym on 312 lb (141kg).
One last thing re the clothes: last Saturday night I drove from work to the destination XL store nearest to me (then I went to the gym afterward). The last time that I bought pants, I bought pants at a waist size of 56 and 58 from a general goods store (Blain's Farm & Fleet, which is not to be confused with Mills Fleet Farm). The waist size that I bought on Saturday? 52. I almost bought the 50s but I did want to have something slightly more comfortable. As it is, on my previous clothes buying, I bought a 54/56 inch belt. After a few months I had to make a new hole on it because it was too loose. Sadly, those belts broke down due to the extra hole. So, I had to buy new ones and I got 50/52s 🙂
Overall, this had been a long journey and one that will never end as I have to keep exercising and watching my diet (though I have learnt that you can splurge occasionally as long as you watch what you have the rest of the day. That and that hummus is awesome), because I never want to be back where I was just over two years ago, when the only clothes I could buy was from the specialty section of the specialty big and tall store (think a waist size of nearly 70 inches; 66 or 68 was a tough time for me to get into back then).
I hope that my story inspires others to take it upon themselves and work to a better future for themselves. I have been able to do it without surgical intervention, which I have seen so many people turn to as a "quick fix" only to see it fail and they go back to the size they were previously.

The Evolution of Instructor-Led Learning: Flipped, Blended and ReplacedArticles
A dramatic shift reshaping workplace learning all over the world traces its origins, in part, to a high school in rural Colorado.
At Woodland Park High School, kids on the football and debate teams had to travel far to get to games and competitions. That meant leaving school early, and missing classroom instruction. "So my afternoon classes were vacant," says Jon Bergmann, who taught chemistry.
He and fellow science teacher Aaron Sams started recording their sessions so that the kids could watch and learn what they missed. It worked — the kids actually watched. Then one day, a school official mentioned something to Bergmann: Her daughter, in college, regularly watched one of her professor's lectures online so she didn't need to go to class.
"That was our eureka moment," Bergmann told Pathgather in an interview. "We reflected on it: What's the value of class time if you don't have to go to class?"
They rethought the process of learning. The next year, both teachers put all their lectures on video. With no distractions or unnecessary pauses, lessons also became much quicker that way, so a 30-minute lecture became only 10 minutes long.
Then came the flip: Watching those became the homework. And the kind of work that was typically assigned as homework — answering questions, working out problems — became classwork.
"Our test scores went up by a standard deviation," Bergmann says. In simpler terms, average grades jumped up by a letter.
This is the new model, flipping the old paradigm on its head. And while Bergmann emphasizes that he and Sams did not invent it — others have tried similar things — corporations quickly came calling.
Boosting engagement
"The biggest benefit is engagement," says Errol St. Clair Smith, CEO of Flipped Learning Worldwide.
Employees don't have to sit through lots of presentations with charts and graphs, and instead put themselves in control of the process. "Learning becomes more self-directed, so people put attention on things that matter the most," Smith says.
Instead of gathering employees into a room and having them sit through a lecture, today's successful learning ecosystems blend online instruction with face-to-face experiences using this flipped method. They may take an online course on their own time, whenever it's most convenient for them. Then, classroom instruction becomes about acting out scenarios, giving feedback and getting help from instructors where they're struggling the most.
For example, videos may teach a cable installer how to install a new line, and offer guidance on how to interact with customers. Classroom time may be reserved for role-playing, with the instructor acting as a resident, then breaking down and analyzing each part of the experience. "So they actually practice in the class, with an instructor who guides them and offers immediate feedback," Smith says. The employee is then much better prepared to walk out of the session and "actually execute."
Blended learning
So there is still an important place for face-to-face work as part of the learning process. Three professors analyzed this in a research paper titled Blended Workplace Learning: The Importance of Human Interaction. They found: "Learner-content interaction alone affects emotional engagement in a moderate way, but a combination of content interaction with interpersonal interaction had a stronger and more positive influence on emotional engagement."
Engagement is crucial for attracting and retaining employees. As Pathgather has explained, without engagement, nothing else is possible. Gallup has found that engagement is crucial not only for attraction and retention, but also performance. Groups with higher engagement levels outperform others "on every type of performance metric: revenue, profitability, productivity, customer experience, safety, healthcare costs" and more.
While some businesses are reaping the benefits of blended learning, too many remain stuck in the old ways, some industry experts say.
"We have been offering classroom learning for years, so we continue to do it," says Tamar Elkeles, co-author of Chief Talent Officer.
"I really believe the classroom is reserved for three things," she explains, citing interaction with an expert, interaction with each other and role-playing to practice skills "in a safe environment."
The organization Towards Maturity, which analyzes learning and development efforts, found that among "top-deck organizations" — those getting the "greatest bottom-line business benefit" from Learning & Development — 82 percent "ensure that their face-to-face training actively builds on knowledge gained through e-learning courses." But among other businesses, only 26 percent are doing so.
Empowering internal SMEs
Towards Maturity also found another big distinction in how L&D is evolving. Ninety-two percent of "top-deck organizations" have a formal system for working with internal subject matter experts (SMEs), compared to 47 percent of other businesses.
Bergmann has found that instruction is "best when done in-house." Having the instructor be someone the learner knows and trusts can help the learner feel more comfortable with the process. Even if they don't know the employee in advance, having it be a fellow employee provides a "humanizing element," Bergmann says.
One of Bergmann's corporate clients spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring a company to create a Netflix-type show to train learners in a skill. The same company also tried a low-budget in-house video teaching the skill, and it was at least as effective. "That's something we're finding across the world with best practices," Bergmann says. "If you have inside experts, that's the best way."
Businesses are increasingly making this shift. "A lot of times, when you think about learning, people default to external learning content," says Craig Bowman, senior manager of learning and development at T-Mobile. "We bring internal learnings to weekly team meetings to share knowledge and deepen the team's understanding of the business, so that we can support the business better."
And, he adds, "The best learnings always make their way into The Hub," the company's learning platform built on Pathgather.
When HP Inc. built its Pathgather platform Brain Candy, "employees wanted to learn from internal experts before looking outside the organization," says Mike Jordan, global head of Talent & Learning. "They wanted to find experts at HP more easily and have ways to recognize them for their knowledge and skills." So instruction by SMEs became an important part of the modern learning ecosystem.
Ultimately, all these changes are in response to the digital transformation. "The traditional training model is no longer sustainable," says Smith. "Things are changing too fast. In virtually any industry that you select, the pace of change is so rapid that attempting to develop courses" the old-fashioned way puts a business behind. "We've just reached the point where it's no longer possible."
Smith and Bergmann explore this together in their new book Flipped Learning 3.0: The Operating System for the Future of Talent Development.
"It has become much more viable to move from a 'push model' to a 'pull model,' in which you shift the burden for being up to speed and trained to the trainee," Smith says. "And the talent development people become more facilitators creating an environment, resources and tools that trainees can use to get the information they need when they need it."Categories: Articles Tagged with: Flipped Classroom • Instructor-led Training

babcia [bah-b-cha] – grandma in Polish
I've called my babcia today. She is 92. We chatted for a while. I don't even know how it got to the topic, but I started to ask her about the times when she came back from Germany, after almost 6 years of forced labor.
babcia's hands
During WWII, about 12 million people were taken to Germany for forced labor (slavery), about 2/3 of them from Eastern European countries. It was human trafficking at it's most organized, legalized form. Hitler's Lebensraum idea concerned expanding the pure German, Aryan population toward the eastern territories. He considered Slavic (Poles, Russians, Serbs) nations (as well as Jews, Gypsies, Africans, homosexuals, prostitutes, criminals, disabled) as Untermenschen (sub-humans in German), inferior to the German race, and needed to be get rid of.
The sub-human, that biologically seemingly complete similar creation of nature with hands, feet and a kind of brain, with eyes and a mouth, is nevertheless a completely different, dreadful creature. He is only a rough copy of a human being, with human-like facial traits but nonetheless morally and mentally lower than any animal. Within this creature there is a fearful chaos of wild, uninhibited passions, nameless destructiveness, the most primitive desires, the nakedest vulgarity. Sub-human, otherwise nothing. For all that bear a human face are not equal. Woe to him who forgets it. (from a pamphlet "Sub-human" printed and distributed by The Race and Settlement Head Office in 1942 in Germany)
Hitler was determined to enslave and eventually kill all the Slavs, take their territories, and make Germans it's inhabitants forever. His Generalplan Ost document was a well planned genocide. Extermination of all Poles was carefully planned. It would require about 20 years, from 1941, to wipe out the whole population of about 40 million Poles. By 1952, only 4 million Poles would still be alive as slaves of Nazi Germany.
After invading Poland in 1939, Germans and Russians alike were specifically looking into killing the elites of intelligentsia, political & military leaders and clergy of Poland. From the history of our country, when it ceased to exist for over 120 years in the XVIII-XIX centuries, they knew that what helped Poles survived was our faith, strong family values and underground education. These specific groups were targeted to wipe us out of the map of the world forever.
My grandma was one of those Poles, decided to be used as a slave in a German farm, until she could work. What fate would meet her later, no one knew. She was in her late 20-ties, taken by force to Germany and worked for almost 6 years. She was used to hard work before, her mom died when she was just 9 years old. I don't know much about the kind of work she had to do. I know that they had one meal a day, worked all day long. After 6 years, they were released to go back to Poland.
She came back with my grandfather, pregnant with my aunt. And this is the story, I never heard before.
When they came to the city of Wroclaw, they were looking for a place to stay. There were Russians and Poles there, who liberated the city, German population who did not have time to escape, Polish repatriates from the East (Russians were given Eastern Polish territories by the decision of Roosevelt and Churchill, who did not protest Stalin in Yalta, in his greed for more civilized land; millions of people had to relocate; Wroclaw was the city, where Germans had to leave in order for Poles kicked out from the East, to live in). There were Polish partisants, wounded German soldiers, Russians and disoriented Poles looking for houses to settle in.
my babcia and my aunt
My grandma and grandpa picked a house on the outskirts of Wroclaw. Unexpectedly they met an elderly German couple still living in one of the apartments upstairs. They did not have time or anybody to help them to relocate, although the decree of deportation was in motion. This elderly couple was pretty scared. Before and during the war they lived in the basement of the house, which was occupied by different people. Their children were not allowed to go to the garden or play in the yard around the house. They were considered poor and not wanted to be seen by the tenants.
My grandma, who just returned from working for Germans as a slave, said that they can live together and help each other. The couple was grateful.
When the time came for her to give birth to my aunt, the couple went to look for a midwife. They walked for a few hours, trying to find her from house to house. A neighbour heard some noise, and seeing my grandma in labor, went out to the street and stopped some Russian truck. There was a Russian medic, who came and discovered my grandmother laying with her newborn baby daughter by her side, with her umbilical cord still attached. They were laying there for 3 hours. He cut the cord and left.
During the next few months, the German couple helped my grandma with the baby, while she was trying to get food and water for all of them day by day.
I listened to this story today and I was stunned. My grandma said only: there are people and not-so-people-like human beings. Wherever you are, you need to help others.
After many years, it was decided that Germany will pay compensations for those who were used in slave labor during WWII and were still alive. In a year 2000, I think, she got about $300.

Though today you can stuff stereoscopic 3D and console-quality graphics into your backpack, that once seemed inconceivable. Handhelds have evolved quickly, but we shouldn't forget the games that made them great in the first place. Though these games lack raw processing muscle, they have a power all their own.
Koji Igarashi's Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night made waves in the gaming press for being one of the more successful video game Kickstarters ever. With it, the tried and tested Metroidvania genre is looking to receive a monumental resurgence. Igarashi is one of the leading pioneers of the concept behind this genre, and produced constant hits for Nintendo handhelds when he was still with Konami and in charge of the Castlevania franchise. That being said, there is one revered entry in the franchise that did not have his involvement, and that was Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. No developer has a taint-free track record, and Koji Igarashi's opinion on Circle of the Moon has landed him on the naughty list of many a Castlevania fan. Circle of the Moon is so heavily disliked by Igarashi that he even decided to drop the title from the series' official timeline canon. His sheer prejudice against Circle of the Moon is almost petty, especially considering that it was an excellent title that simply didn't have his involvement as a producer. Canon or not, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is one of the best games in the series, if not one of the best you will ever play.
The Game Boy Advance launched in North America back in 2001, a much hyped successor to the hugely successful but rapidly aging Game Boy Color. The then dubbed "32-bit" handheld saw a fairly impressive launch with the likes of Super Mario Advance and Pinobee, but no launch title was as lavishly produced and impressive as Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It's not often that a system's launch title ends up being one of its top ten must have titles; the Xbox has Halo: Combat Evolved, the Nintendo 64 has Super Mario 64 and the Game Boy Advance has Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Perhaps one of the criticisms at the time was something that wasn't so much the fault of the game itself, but rather the hardware. The original Game Boy Advance model was notorious for its dark screen, and this was something that did not complement the dark, gritty and artistically detailed aesthetic of Circle of the Moon. That being said, as uncomfortable as it was, the game wasn't unplayable as long as you had the right lighting. Subsequent GBA hardware revisions would fix that dark screen issue, making Circle of the Moon a more comfortable portable experience.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is quite simply the cream of the crop. When you consider things like progression, pacing and overall level design, few video games come together as flawlessly as Circle of the Moon does. With a constant challenge, treacherous boss battles and an evolving RPG system that has players experiment with different cards to create some cool spells, Circle of the Moon captivates from the very first screen and holds that attention until the end. Visually and musically, it's one of the most memorable entries in the franchise, with some songs staying with you years after you've completed the game, and it helps that the soundtrack contains special remixes of many classic tunes from the series' history.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon can now be picked up with ease from the Wii U's ever growing Virtual Console library and it looks mighty fine on the Game Pad too. Circle of the Moon might possibly be the best game in the series, arguably even better than Symphony of the Night…and maybe that's what keeps Iga awake at night.

Slippery Floors!!! Look no further. We now offer a State of the Art Anti-Slip treatment keeping your floors safe to walk on when wet.
Our treatment truly surpasses all traditional anti-slip systems that either works temporarily or are generally poor performers. Our technology is based on impregnating nano tech polymer molecules into the substrate being treated while it remains in there for years. The minute water gets in contact with a treated surface, the activation of the embedded polymers instantaneously reacts to make the floor anti-slip. As simple as that.
The great news is that our Anti-Slip treatment can be effectively and safely used on a various of different substrates including that of sensitive polished marble, limestone and travertine. This is truly revolutionary knowing for a fact all other previous systems have damaged natural stone and there has never been any solution todate.
As we are a market leader in stone and tile care and restoration, we have put this treatment through rigourous testing with materials such as porcelain, ceramics, granite, quartz, sandstone, terrazzo, travertine, polished concrete are amounst some of them.
Areas of use in general are all wet areas, external pavers, swimming pool surrounds, entrances of buildings and much much more. Call us today to get a quote at 03-9429 1223.

OAKLAND — If permitting goes as planned, residents can expect to see bike sharing stations popping up around the East Bay before the end of the year.

San Francisco State University students voted overwhelming earlier this month to pay a mandatory per-semester fee in exchange for discounted MUNI and BART passes — perhaps paving the way for other universities and colleges to follow suit.
This story was originally published in the East Bay Express on April 20, 2016.
In 1997, when the ongoing civil war in his native Burma made it impossible for him to continue working, Sein Win knew it was time to leave. Following other refugees to Thailand, Win said he thought the move would only be temporary, that he, his wife, and their three daughters would be able to return when the war ended. Instead, they lived in a refugee camp for fourteen years.
One day in 2010, Thai government officials told Win his family could apply to live in the United States. Win was eager to leave the camp, hopeful that he could receive medical treatment for several chronic health problems, and optimistic that his children would have better opportunities in America. After a year of waiting and three days in transit, Win's family landed at the Oakland International Airport and settled in Oakland. Without knowing any English, Win said it was difficult to navigate the city or to connect with any of his new neighbors. But when his daughter, Paw Ku Tee, told him about a new gardening and cooking program at her high school that pairs refugee elders with youth, he jumped at the chance to participate. A farmer in his former life in Burma, Win had spent years on the land, growing wheat, rice, and vegetables to sell. (more…)

One day in late 2014, when demonstrators were spilling out into streets across the country to declare that Black lives matter, author and activist Johanna Hedva found herself listening to a procession of protestors from inside her Los Angeles apartment. Incapable of getting out of bed due to a debilitating illness that regularly renders her unable to walk, drive, work, or sometimes speak or understand language for up to five months at a time, Hedva had little recourse but to watch the march move on without her. The experience got her thinking: "How do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can't get out of bed?"
That question forms the basis of Hedva's Sick Woman Theory, a manifesto for people living with chronic illnesses or disabilities, the first chapter of which was published in Mask Magazine earlier this year. It's also the question that motivated Sick Fest, an evening of readings and performances by writers and activists who are chronically ill and disabled, including Hedva, that will take place at Chapter 510 in Oakland (2301 Telegraph Ave.) on Saturday, March 26.

As the first car in BART's new fleet arrived in Hayward on Tuesday for testing, riders said they were cautiously optimistic about whether the cars would significantly improve their commute.
The new train cars are part of BART's "Fleet of the Future," a $2.6 billion effort to replace its 669 cars with 775 new ones over the next five years, according to BART spokesman Jim Allison. Ultimately, Allison said, the transit agency would like to add an additional 306 cars, bringing the total size of its fleet to 1,081 and increasing its capacity by 49 percent from current levels, but funding hasn't yet been identified for this second expansion phase.

OAKLAND — The BART board of directors sent a proposal to crack down on seat hogs back for more work Thursday over concerns that the new rules weren't clearly defined and might be arbitrarily enforced.
The proposal, introduced by Director Joel Keller, would prohibit passengers from placing their personal belongings on the seat next to them, if it prevents other passengers from having a seat. Under the proposal, first-time scofflaws would be subject to fines of $100 and up to $500 for repeat offenders. (more…)

Locals call it Triangle Park. At less than a quarter-acre, bounded by San Pablo Avenue and 32nd and Filbert streets, the concrete plaza is officially called St. Andrews Plaza and includes dusty planter beds and a smattering of trees lining its edges. For years, area homeowners have complained about the park, saying it attracts drug dealers, sex workers, and violence.
The City of Oakland received a $456,000 grant in July to renovate the space, and crews erected a fence thin this week so that workers can begin the demolition before the remodel, which is expected to start at the end of the year. Though relatively obscure to people outside the neighborhood, the renovations proposed for the tiny park are stirring up mixed feelings among residents, many of whom laud the changes but are concerned about what will happen to the current park users.

Dust off your penis straws, take out a loan, practice your Instagram filtering, and get ready to feign a LOT of exaggerated excitement because IT'S BACHELORETTE SEASON, BETCHES! And I mean bachelorette as in the #LastFlingBeforeTheRing but yes, it's also ABC's The Bachelorette season and this one might be my fave yet because #TeamKaitlyn. But I digress. I've been to roughly 69374928734 bachelorette "parties" (read: entire weekend extravaganzas) and I learned what can make or break them. As I write this, I'm 31 and about to embark on a San Fran/Sonoma bach party which is a far cry from the South Beach bachelorette in my mid-20s where I got back to the hotel at 8 a.m. one morning after clubbing and skinny dipping in the ocean (casual), but I'm providing these tips with all ages in mind. (And for more on bachelorettes in your 20s vs. 30s, click here.)
1) Know your audience. I'm sorry but if you're 23 and not a debutante with all rich friends, you can't set your sights on blowing it up in Vegas with shows, bottle service, and luxury hotel suites and expect all your friends to show up. If you want your gal pals to spend that kind of cash on you, you should have waited until you were a grownup to get married. Brides and MOHs, keep your friends' money situations in mind and choose a location people can travel to without going into debt, or just don't get pissed when people can't make it. This also goes for planning activities. I once got an email about a bachelorette party from the MOH with a private cooking class, expensive concert, and 5-star hotel on the itinerary. Oh and it was in Manhattan. HI, I'M 24 AND BROKE. Bye Felicia.
2) Make sure attendees know (of) each other in advance, especially if you're bringing together friends from different groups. Cute idea alert: Email a brief roster detailing what the bride's connection is in advance ("Amy and Jennifer met in the Planned Parenthood waiting room sophomore year in college and have been biffles ever since"). This will make for quicker bonding and fewer Mean Girls moments. And definitely send out the "GET EXCITED, BITCHESSSS!" email the week before and start tossing around #hashtag ideas – I know you may think it's cheesy/overplayed, but it really is great to have all the pics in one place on Instagram. If the bride already knows her wedding hashtag, definitely use that (either as the only bach one or in addition to the bach one).
3) Consider themes/clothing. From my friend Christine who has also been to roughly 9237492874 bach parties: "Themes go over HUGE when you're out. I've done the sailor hats thing, the matching outfits, all of that stuff. I will say that despite the cheese factor it's particularly helpful if you have some single felines in your group because it's a great conversation starter and guys SWARM." And she is right. The MOH/close girlfriends should know the bride well enough to know how she'd feel about a theme. Once, we surprised the bride by all wearing black (her sister made sure she wore white) and she loved it. I've also done something subtle to signify our bach status with these pink feathers:
PS, make sure someone gets a veil for the bride. Whether she wants to wear it or not, it will be appreciated. Also, if you make T-shirts, do NOT make all the girls wear them to the bars on the "big night out." The single girls will freak because they want to look cute and it's just rude. Save them for a daytime activity or just give them as takeaways.
4) Money. A few important things because this can get tricky and awkward AF.
-If you're the one booking hotels/houses, make sure everyone pays you in advance (there is no excuse not to with Venmo, PayPal, BOA transfer, Snapchat cash, etc.).
-If you're the planner/prime emailer, remind people to bring cash and/or download Venmo to make things easier.
-This might seem a little intense, but I did it for one bachelorette party and it was absolutely AMAZING: We all paid one girl $300 in advance for dinners, drinks, cabs., etc. and she handled everything (read: was our sugar mama for the weekend). I cannot express how awesome it was to not have to deal with splitting dinner bills, paying for cabs/Ubers, and just having drinks handed to me. It was like being at an all-inclusive resort. HOWEVER, the group has to be mature/financially comfortable enough to handle this (ie. no one complaining they just got a salad at dinner and shouldn't have to pay as much), and someone has to be responsible enough (and good at math) to figure it out. We did a weekend in Charleston and I think at the end of it, I only owed our sugar mama $20-30 more.
-You should not have to pay for every single thing the bride does all weekend. Fuck that (no offense). Pick up her dinner on the big night out, a lapdance (if applicable), and buy her drinks. I heard a story about a bride who expected her friends to pay for her every meal and drink over a FOUR-DAY WEEKEND (literally never pulled out her wallet once) and I almost vomited (bet she's a real gem as a wife). As for the hotel/lodging, I have mixed feelings. I personally would not let my friends pay for that on my bachelorette party, but I have paid before. Defer to the MOH (ideal if she's family) for this one.
5) Speaking of hotels, I think a house/condo (Airbnb, duh) is always a better option if you can swing it with the location and size of the group, and it usually saves money. Then you all get to be together/pregame together and have more space for your drunken gymnastics and 93798274 suitcases because I know y'all overpacked. Of course some places it won't work (South Beach, for one), but always worth checking out.
6) Penis stuff. You probably don't want to wear these out, but penis stuff is always comical, even if you're poking fun of it all. Items I recommend: Straws, cake, ice cubes, Pin the Junk on the Hunk, balloons, pinata. Tip: Check a sex shop if you have one around. The Inserection in Atlanta is THE MECCA for all penis everything (at least it used to be), plus you can pick up a new vibrator while you're there. And if you want to do a cake, the mold can be hard to find, so be proactive and order one from Amazon if you don't have any kinky shops nearby.
7) Play games. Who doesn't like a nice, raunchy, revealing game of Chutes and Ladders? JK. Click HERE for the best question game (and how to pull it off with flying colors in conjunction with a lingerie shower and instantly be the bride's #1 bitch). Also per Christine: Make a bar scavenger hunt to keep things interesting and lively, ex: the bride-to-be has to get a guy's shirt/underwear/social security number (what?), dance on a bar, do a vodka soaked tampon, etc. Incorporate the other girls too; always make the token single(s) make out with someone, take body shots, do the Single Ladies dance on command/etc. (Kidding about the tampon; always vodka responsibly.)
8) Sniff out bachelor parties. Bachelorette parties and bachelor parties have a 6th sense for each other anyway, so once you hit the club/bar/pool scene, they should swarm. You don't have to hang out with them the whole time, but they're usually prepared to ball out and want fun chicks around, so if you're going clubbing, definitely find out where they'll be popping bottles later. And you never know, a love connection could happen…
9) Save up for the BIG NIGHT out. Designating which of the two nights (assuming it's a weekend) is the BIG NIGHT helps. The other night can still be awesome; you can always do something like a private chef dinner at the house, a strong happy hour but not going balls to the wall, more lowkey bars, that kind of thing. This also builds anticipation for the BIG NIGHT, plus everyone knows when to wear their skankiest outfits. For the MOH/organizer: Sending a loose (or even full) itinerary to the group prior to the weekend is always appreciated and alleviates some packing panic.
10) Speaking of itineraries, have some shit figured out in advance for God's sake. You don't have to have every minute planned, but showing up with nothing on the books is a mistake, especially if you all aren't familiar with the city. Do some research/ask around (I've shared many a Charleston, Dewey Beach, and South Beach itinerary), have at least one dinner res, and an idea for daytime activities. Feel free to ask me about cities I'm familiar with (Atlanta, Miami, Philly, Dewey Beach, NYC, Charleston, Nashville, Austin, Key West) in the comments and I'll throw our suggestions!
#11 bonus: Goody bags filled with penis pops, lube, Advil, recreational drugs, and Plan B.
Have fun and be safe out there, ladies. Go #TeamBride!

U.S. District Court Potentially Expands The Reach Of Prenatal Tort Liability
On August 12, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York potentially expanded the reach of tort liability against the manufacturer of a prenatal drug. In Sullivan v. Aventis, Inc., 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 107360 (S.D.N.Y. 2015), U.S. District Court Judge Nelson Roman determined that the plaintiff had adequately pled a prenatal tort claim, as opposed to a claim for "wrongful life," in connection with birth defects allegedly sustained from her mother's use of a well-known fertility drug.
The decision in Sullivan focuses on the drug Clomid. Clomid was prescribed to the plaintiff's mother in 1992 "with the intent that it [would] help her conceive." Plaintiff was born in 1993, but was diagnosed with significant birth defects several months later.
Plaintiff alleged that Clomid remained present in her mother's "maternal circulation" during plaintiff's gestation. Relying on "studies, papers, and actions by the FDA from the 1960s through the present" purporting to show that Clomid may cause birth defects, plaintiff asserted that the defendant knew or should have known of these risks but failed to warn physicians and consumers about them. The complaint alleged causes of action for design and manufacturing defect, misrepresentation, and failure to warn.
Defendant moved to dismiss the complaint on several grounds. Most notably, defendant argued that the plaintiff's claims were virtually indistinguishable from those sounding in "wrongful life." In Becker v. Schwartz, the Court of Appeals rejected wrongful life as a viable cause of action under New York law on the grounds that recognizing such an injury would require courts to resolve the philosophical and theoretical "mystery" of whether "nonexistence" is preferable to impaired existence. In that same vein, the Court felt that such claims presented the "hurdle" of calculating damages based on a comparison of impaired existence versus nonexistence.
Unlike wrongful life claims, prenatal torts are recognized causes of action under New York law. Thus, "where a pregnant woman is injured through negligence and the child subsequently born suffers deformity or other injury as a result, recovery therefore may be allowed to the child, provided the causal relation between the negligence and the damage to the child be established by competent medical evidence." New York courts have distinguished prenatal torts from wrongful life claims "on the basis of whether the relevant counterfactual is 'nonexistence' or a healthy child."
In Sullivan, the plaintiff requested that Judge Roman simplify this dichotomy by applying the test adopted in Morgan v. Christman. In that case, a Kansas court distinguished wrongful life claims from prenatal torts on the basis of whether the defendant's negligence caused the birth defect. Although Judge Roman found this distinction to be somewhat "attractive," persuasive New York authority prevented him from applying that test.
Nevertheless, he concluded that plaintiff's claims were grounded in prenatal tort because they did not "raise the nonexistence problem" that confronted the parties in Becker, thus distinguishing plaintiff's claims from those of wrongful life. Under plaintiff's design defect theory, "Clomid could feasibly have been designed such that it would have helped [her] mother conceive with a substantially smaller risk of harm to plaintiff." In other words, "if Clomid had not been defectively designed, plaintiff would have been born healthy notwithstanding her mother's use of [the drug]."
The Sullivan decision is significant insofar as it avoids the philosophical inquiry raised in Becker (i.e., the "nonexistence problem") by "comparing plaintiff to a healthy child – a task that courts routinely entertain." Although this decision is only persuasive authority, the reasoning applied by the District Court has the potential to expand the scope of tort liability against pharmaceutical manufacturers, and perhaps to other areas where the distinction between prenatal tort and wrongful life claims is narrow.

YOUR PANCREAS is a hard-working organ that pumps out digestive juices and produces the insulin crucial for regulating our blood sugar levels. If you develop pancreatitis, the pancreas becomes damaged, swollen and inflamed. Fortunately, this condition can be treated – although it does mean changing your diet and lifestyle habits (see p30).
Top of the list are keeping your weight in the healthy range to lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and exercising, which helps with weight loss and lowering inflammation.
More serious is the development of pancreatic cancer, as this usually remains undetected until it has reached an advanced stage. In the past two years, the disease has made headlines because of some high profile celebrities who have developed it – actors John Hurt and Alan Rickman and This Morning agony aunt Denise Robertson have all succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

90 Days.
The early morning text from my husband, followed by a picture of his 90 day chip.
I haven't been counting the days this time. I've counted them every time. I always have to start over.
If I don't count, I don't have to start over.
Thankful he shared the news over text where he couldn't see my face or hear my voice. Sense my hesitancy in how to respond.
I find the right gif, hit send, tell him how proud I am. I don't stop and think of what today's date is. I don't try to catalog the date in my head so that I won't forget next month.
I'm not ready to start counting.
I'm thankful he sleeps during the day. Grateful I have a busy work day that will keep my mind on other things.
Then it's the afternoon and he is awake and texting about coming home this weekend. He's been talking about it for a few days now and I never seem to get the words right.
I don't know how to walk this road we're on. Living in separate states. Separate lives really. Visits to see him for Father's Day. Talking about him coming home to visit. Visiting his home. Our home.
Not ready for that to be a reality.
Wondering if he remembers the conversations we had while he was in rehab. Replaying them in my mind over and over.
Talking about how we – me…the girls…need time. That we can't do this again.
Remembering how I said that in December. 6 months ago. Only. He just got his 90 day chip. Not his 6 month chip.
He got to 89 days the last time.
89 days before our world fell apart again.
89 days after I said…not again…we can't do this again…we won't do this again. We were doing it again.
What does that make it? 96 days since our world crashed down around us again?
How is he counting his sober days? The 23rd of March – he was in the middle of his worst relapse yet.
I have to say "yet" because I thought the one last July was the worst…then I thought the one last December was…
Nothing could have prepared me for the March 2017 relapse.
I can't go through a worse relapse than this last one. I can't even fathom what a worse one would look like. I cannot imagine that we would all survive another one.
Even more…our girls can't.
We are still in the very beginning stages of trying to heal. Our wounds are still tender, still open, they still bleed almost daily.
Our timeline doesn't fit his. Our timeline hurts him.
I know my words today wounded him. I know he takes my uncontrollable sobbing when he leaves as a sign I want him to come home, and then must be confused when I say we aren't ready.
I want to remind him we didn't make this choice. I didn't make this choice. Our girls didn't make this choice. He made this choice. His decisions…actions…Our decisions….reactions that followed…
I remember that we made a plan.
I remember him changing the plan.
I remember not putting up a fight. Because I remembered the last time I put up a fight about his plan…I remember how quick the relapse was. So I stayed quiet this time. I let him make the plan. I didn't cry. I didn't protest. I put his needs ahead of our family's. Again.
Now he wants to change the plan again. His plan. The plan I had to accept and am living.
The plan that breaks my heart daily, leaves me lonely, raising our girls on my own again…
The plan that gives my heart time to heal…our girls' hearts time to heal…makes our home a safe place again – a place where our girls don't live in fear of the next relapse and what that might look like.
There is nothing easy about this separation. Not for him. Not for me. Not for our girls.
Not easy doesn't mean not necessary.
Sometimes the paths that are the most difficult and seem the most impossible are God's way of protecting our hearts from the path that may seem easier but will ultimately end in a bigger heartbreak.
"Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." Proverbs 23:18 (ESV)
Surely there is a future…
My hope will not be cut off…

[Pl13] Cooperative allocation for underlay cognitive radio systemsConférence Internationale avec comité de lecture : International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC 2013), June 2013, pp.1-5, Darmstadt, Germany,
Résumé: This paper proposes a resource allocation and decoding strategy at the secondary systems for underlay and interweave multi-carrier cooperative cognitive radio. The objective is to maximize the sum rate of both primary and secondary systems, taking into account the interference threshold constraint and the fact that the primary receiver always considers interference as noise. The decoding strategy at the secondary receivers is either Successive Interference Cancellation or treating interference as noise, depending on their channel gains. The sum rate and secondary rates are highly improved, compared with other resource allocation algorithms. The proposed algorithm benefits from multi-user diversity when the number of secondary cells increases.

Ratings and Reviews
Spacey electronics meets earthy acoustics!
Majestica is an Arizona-based, collaborative duo of multi-instrumentalist Cass Anawaty and flutist Sherry Finzer. Following up their fantastic debut album, In the Midst of Stars, the duo's highly-anticipated sophomore release, Auriga to Orion, is a seven-track album that further expounds on their innovative blend of spacey electronics and earthy acoustics. Decidedly groove-centric throughout, the music is often imbued with sexy 'chill-rock' motifs, which makes it equally conducive to both dancing and stargazing.
"Alpha Orionis" beautifully opens the album with a shimmery 'Tangerine Dream meets Steve Roach' kind of keyboard pattern. Sherry's sultry flute-playing enters along with a gentle rhythm pattern, until Cass' cleanly strummed electric guitar follows as a seeming answer to the call of the flute. The second track, "Kesil's Light", starts off as a mysterious and slightly dark space-music piece with Sherry's flute emitting light among the vastness. Pulsating sequencer and rhythm figures come forward along with more of Cass' excellent guitar-playing, as the piece aptly conveys a notion of observing celestial movements in the Arizona sky. "Monte Alban" features intriguing old-school analog synth that eventually introduces guitar and flute – injecting an uplifting vibe into the song. The gorgeous title piece, "Auriga to Orion", employs classic synth textures and percussion tracks, as Sherry's flute mesmerizingly soars above like the wind while Cass' cascading guitar riff encircles it. The piece eventually concludes with a fantastic guitar solo before returning to its original analog synth motif. "Dark Years Away" opens with synthesized rhythmic bells before giving way to Sherry's melodic flute and Cass' strummed guitar chords. "Chasing the Leonids" ensues with a sensual tempo, as flute notes majestically soar for awhile before diving into a provocative electric guitar solo that's heavily rock-influenced. The closing track, "Flaming Star", starts off somewhat solemn and reverent-sounding with spacious chords enshrouding the listening space. This stunningly beautiful piece is all about atmosphere, with ethereal flute notes mysteriously weaving in and out of the encompassing synth-fog.
An outstanding follow-up to Majestica's debut release, Auriga to Orion is destined to be among my favorite albums this year. Naturally influenced by the surrounding, magnificent Arizona environment – which is known to be especially conducive to creative inspiration – it's easy to envision the many magical landmarks amid night constellations while listening. Furthermore, I highly recommend playing both Majestica albums back-to-back for a doubly rewarding listening experience!

Every year I partner with key service organizations that work with victims of human trafficking, to provide them with toiletries.
When a girl or woman is rescued from human trafficking, she often comes with little more than the clothes she's wearing. That's why the toiletry drive is so important. Giving these women the hygiene and toiletry items she needs often makes a huge difference in helping her feel some level of comfort and normalcy return to her life.
We could really use your help as we hope to exceed last year's successful drive. We need things like shampoo, toothbrushes, tampons, deodorant, etc. You can drop these items off at any one of my offices, or at bins throughout City Hall. I hope you'll join me and give a little to help these women.
This year's donations will go to two incredible organizations: Journey Out and Saving Innocence. Both groups serve women and girls in Los Angeles.
