As the current generation of consoles continues on, companies should do well to remember to honor the past by celebrating upcoming franchise anniversaries.
While not quite old as other industries in the world, video games have formed a large base of users thanks to pioneering companies like Atari, Nintendo, and Activision to name a few. Gamers are typically passionate about franchises, which makes celebrating certain achievements like anniversaries an important step. Just this year, Nintendo helped its most well known character and company mascot, Mario, celebrate his 30th anniversary, with two special amiibo figures and a community driven website all culminating in Super Mario Maker – a Wii U exclusive that allows players to build their own stages using themes and items from four iconic Mario games.
Believe it or not, Ubisoft also fits into this category as well. Long before they were known for the Tom Clancy games or mega franchises like Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft plucked the limbless hero Rayman from the creative mind of Michel Ancel. 2015 marks Rayman's 20th anniversary and to celebrate Ubisoft announced smaller items such as fan driven contests, an infographic, and a brand new game called Rayman Adventures – the latter of which was greeted with ample excitement. Unfortunately, after watching the debut trailer, it was revealed that Rayman Adventures was a mobile based game, and not a traditional game in the same spirit as the well regarded Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The comments under that YouTube trailer spoke volumes as almost universal disappointment quickly set in with fans. At the very least, this shows that fans are hungry for another traditional Rayman game.
As I mentioned before, Nintendo is a company that embraces its past by continuing to develop franchises like the Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros among others. It's because of this long running success that fans were hopeful the company would do something special for the 25th anniversary of the Metroid franchise, which came after celebrations for Zelda and Mario the previous year. Unfortunately for fans, August 6, 2011 came and went without even a mention. Things have not improved since for the franchise, with only the announcement of Metroid Prime: Federation Force, a first-person shooter on the Nintendo 3DS, which was met with overwhelmingly negative reception from fans after it's announcement at E3 2015 thanks to the lack of a single-player mode and no sign of the series' mainstay, Samus Aran.
With Nintendo's next console effort, NX, being rumored for release in 2016 and that year also being Metroid's 30th anniversary, there is renewed hope that something will come about, either a proper new entry in the long running franchise, or some sort of bigger event to help bring the series back into public view. I know I'd be happy seeing a remastered or HD remake of the original Super Metroid.
Companies also find ways of promoting games by using tie-in methods with these celebrations in hopes of utilizing that fan base excitement to purchase merchandise. Back in 2011, Nintendo used the Legend of Zelda's 25th anniversary to help promote The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with special edition 3DS consoles, merchandise, and released a special edition bundle with a gold Wii controller and a CD featuring classic Zelda music performed by a live orchestra. Meanwhile, Sony celebrated the PS4's anniversary with an incredibly limited PS1-themed console and controller.
Most would argue that declining sales are the biggest reason why franchises are left behind, causing companies to shy away from creating new entries in a series. To me, the bigger issue here is that companies are completely missing out on golden opportunities by not taking franchise anniversaries seriously. Gamers tend to be a nostalgic bunch, so on one level, celebrating a big milestone will immediately resonate with a faction of gamers. Not only does this attention help with the IP itself, but it reinvigorates the fan base as well.
What about you? Would you like to see more thoughtfulness and care put into celebrations that honor beloved franchises?

Sweet honeysuckle and jasmine with a hint of lemon and spice. i usually can't stand anything with jasmine in it (most of the time,it gives me a headache),but Old New Orleans is one of my favorite scents. Hot,sultry jasmine and spices,'touched with decay' just as promised. i like to put this one in my bathwater;it infuses the steam with a lovely,long-lasting smell that about makes me fall asleep in the tub.

Wedding Locations in Italy, Villa Volpi, Maggiore Lake
Villa Volpi has a unique charm, stylish that makes you think at the scenes in the movie The great Gatsby!
Couples who get married here have often something in common, they live in a very relaxed way the wedding day, without stress.
The great thing about getting married at Villa Volpi is the Romanic Church of St. Agatha in Novaglio, not far away.
This church I can only describe with a picture:
This church has an amazing view, is small and crowded during weddings.
A gem of Maggiore lake.
Here are some photos of this couple from Zurich, Esther and Renè, who got married here just last year 's.

If you like lip-licking, delicious barbecue prepared by some of the best competitive pit masters in the country, then you should consider registering as a judge in the Georgia Barbecue Association.
Smokin J's Barbeque are not only a professional cook team in the GBA, but we are also certified judges, for the association.
We learned a tremendous amount during our training, which helped elevate our cooking game.
Several opportunities are approaching if you want to become a judge in the GBA.
Prerequisites for Being a Judge
You probably should love barbecue – lol!
Like family – friendly events!
Can dedicate a few weekends a year to enjoying fellowship with other barbecue connoisseurs.
Class attendees must first register as an association member; which can be done online anytime:
Click HERE to join the GBA
Several membership levels are available:
After you pay your membership fee, you can register for a training class.
Training classes are only $35.00; which is a bargain! (price may vary as of now)
What is a GBA Judging Class Like?
During a judging class, participates are educated on what constitutes professional barbecue; which is not necessarily how you like your barbecue when you sit down at home or in your neighborhood restaurant.
Judges are also trained on the scoring method used by the GBA, as well as BLIND judging practices.
Every entry is judged on appearance, taste and tenderness; after COMPARING each entry to one another an "overall impression" score is given.
When determining an overall impression, only the 5 or 6 entries on the table, at that time are compared to each other, to declare a top box. Scoring is not determined by how good the meat in front of a judge stacks up against the bbq joint down the street.
Each training session includes a hands on experience, judging professional barbecue.
Prepared entries are brought in. Students are then asked to judge the samples based on the class instructions; followed by a discussion.
If you pass the class, you are a TRAINED JUDGE.
Progressing to a Certified Judge
Once a member has received his/her TRAINED JUDGE credentials, it is time to register and judge an event.
Judging registration occurs about a month before each event. Registration can be done at the GBA Contests/Events website.
If you are chosen to be a judge, you will be notified via email as to what time and where to report.
NO FEES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH JUDGE REGISTRATION. It is completely voluntary.
On contest day, judges will report for roll call and be assigned their category or categories to judge.
Categories sanctioned by the GBA include, bone-less pork loin; pork ribs; and pork butt or shoulder.
Some contests hold ancillaries, such as best dessert or best cocktail.
Once a TRAINED judge has successfully completed two contest events, he/she will receive CERTIFIED judge credentials.
Recognition for those judges who exemplify what the GBA represents, "growth and fellowship of competitive barbecue, consistency and quality in judging, and have been a positive force within the Georgia Barbecue Association," is available through the Master Judge Program.
Why the GBA?
There are many different competitive barbecue contests and organizations. Smokin J's Barbeque truly enjoys the camaraderie and family we have grown to love within the GBA.
Every contest is like a family reunion or a backyard picnic with loved ones. Events are family friendly and respect between cook teams thrives.
Family, atmosphere and – as I said earlier – the best damn barbecue you will ever eat are the reasons Smokin J's Barbeque will continue to travel from WAY out of state to compete in the Georgia Barbecue Association.
Join the Georgia BBQ Association R
Let me know if you have any questions about judging a GBA sanctioned contest.

Introducing the Fartist Club! Pull their fingers for flatulent, stink-free fun: activate 10 different fart sounds or push the 10-second fart delay button and play Hide-and-Fart!
Watch their slimy shenanigans online in the online webisode series and download the DJ Fart App to create custom toots and tunes and turn your smartphone or tablet into a sneaky fart machine!
🚀 Follow Us on Instagram! @eolosmile & Facebook!! /eolosmile
Farty Flip is a wicked dude with serious skateboard skills who loves to do dirty tricks with his custom made toilet seat-deck. Wherever there is dirt to boardslide through, Flip is around. Therefore his board is a rolling collection of pizza and poo remains. The nasty smell is unbearable but flip doesn't seem to notice. As a matter of fart, he likes to rip a good bum gasser! With his '360 fart to grind' trick, you better make sure to run and hide, otherwise, you might need to change your shirt. ´A good ride is a smelly ride´.
Windy Wendy is the smartest of the greasy bunch by far. Besides a dubious odor interest and a degree in smelly science, she is obsessed with the noble art of smell experiments. Her colleagues think otherwise to keep them out of the lab she fabricates to most vivid fart stenches imaginable. But sometimes things go wrong and the stenches are unleashed! Even then Wendy has to get out immediately. Which she does on her pink rollerskates! ´A fart a day keeps the colleagues away!´
Ripping Randy is the greatest guitar player ever. At least that is what he thinks. Somehow he created his unique fuzzy fart guitar sound in the Fartrock Cafe during a smelly talent show and won the stinking trophy with his incredible fartissimo solo. Since that night, he was on a smelly mission and it paid off! Nowadays, everybody knows his greatest hits, such as: - Fart me up, before you go -Hey you, the Fart Steady Crew, -Bohemian Fartsody, and of course, The Final Fartdown. 'Ripp & Roll, straight from the hole!´
Munchy Max is a dirty dog. No doubt! Yet very local to his dirty friends. Always an eye for moldy Munchy Madness. Fungi, Maggots, Fleas or Flies never held him back. No garbage bin is safe for Max. If there is not a foul smell on his findings, he does not trust it at all! Due to his dirty diet, there is a constant flow of terrible gas eruptions from down under, but Munchy Max doesn't mind. He loves a good smeller and just makes his mark. So pull his paw and find out for yourself! ´Clean is mean!´

Ruben Deases
Full Name: Ruben Rico Deases
DOB: February 12, 1972
Charge: 1st degree murder
County: Story
City: Ames
Current Status: Iowa State Penitentiary
Partner in Crime: Edward Deases
Date of Crime: May 28, 1989
Tentative Discharge Date: Life
Victim: Jennifer Ann Gardner
DOB: February 12, 1972
Charge: 1st degree murder
County: Story
City: Ames
Current Status: Iowa State Penitentiary
Partner in Crime: Edward Deases
Date of Crime: May 28, 1989
Tentative Discharge Date: Life
Victim: Jennifer Ann Gardner
Jennifer Ann Garner lived with Eustaguio Deases, her boyfriend, in Ames. During Memorial Day weekend of 1989, Johnny Deases, Edward Deases and Ruben Deases (all Eustagio's brothers), were visiting in Eustaguio's home. Eustaguio flew to Texas the morning of May 28, 1989.
Jennifer, Johnny, Edward and Ruben were left in the apartment in Ames. Edward and Jennifer argued. Each accused the other of living off of Eustaguio. Jennifer made a racial insult toward the Deases family. She pulled a gun and pointed it at the three brothers. The argument subsided. She put the gun away and went into a bedroom. The three brothers decided they needed to get rid of her. Edward wanted to work with Eustaguio in drug dealing. Edward and Ruben decided Johnny should kill Jennifer because, as a juvenile, he would receive a less severe penalty. Ruben told Johnny to go up behind Jennifer and choke her to death. Johnny agreed, went to the bedroom but could not bring himself to do it.
When he told Ruben he would not, Ruben was angry. About fifteen minutes later, Jennifer came back to the living room and sat on the couch. Ruben went behind her and picked her up off the couch in a choke hold. He held her in midair about 45 seconds as she kicked her legs and gasped for air. Johnny asked Ruben to let her go. Ruben said it was too late. Ruben put Jennifer on the floor. Her face was blue. Ruben and Edward dragged her in the bathroom. She had a bowel movement and regained consciousness. She pushed herself up off the floor. She tried to speak but blood was coming from her mouth. Ruben used his foot to prevent her from getting up. Edward got a belt and made a loop with the belt. He put the loop around Jennifer's neck while Ruben held her down with his foot. Edward tugged on the belt, his foot on Jennifer's head. After strangling Jennifer for a minute or so, Edward handed the belt to Ruben. Ruben then pulled on the belt himself.
The three brothers then gathered Jennifer's belongings and put them in trash bags. Edward and Ruben put the body in the shower and took off Jennifer's clothes. Johnny later observed Ruben having sex with the body. The next time Johnny saw the body was just before 11:00 p.m. on the night of the 28th. Jennifer's body was in the shower with hot water running on it.
Later, all three brothers went to the home of Chris Cox and used cocaine. They asked Chris what to do with a dead body. They told him they had killed Jennifer. Ruben and Edward left Johnny until 2:30 p.m. the next day at another friend's. When Johnny was picked up, he heard Edward tell the host he had cut Jennifer's head off. When Johnny asked if it were true, Ruben said it was. Then the three brothers returned to Eustaguio's apartment. Johnny was told Jennifer's body was in a black trash bag Johhny had observed.
Edward and Johnny were surprised to learn from a radio report that Jennifer's body had already been found. Edward was pleased because the radio reports indicated the body had been decapitated with a fine cut.
At about 6:00 p.m. that day, Johnny's brothers told them they were going to put what was left of Jennifer's body. Edward got a large box from a friend, telling him he needed it for Jennifer's body because they had killed her. Later that evening, a witness heard a loud splash at Little Wall Lake. Several days later, Jennifer's beheaded body was found in Little Wall Lake.
After Ruben was apprehended he was taken to a juvenile detention facility where he was heard making up rap songs. One was "she thought she was cool and I was a fool, and now she's dead and I'm ahead." Another, "I knew a girl named Jennifer Gardner. She was a dancer. She was going to mark my brother off, my brother did her in, and now I'm doing time." He also used words to the effect he had picked up the head and closed her eyes and said, "sorry, bitch, but it had to be this way." Ruben was also overheard telling another of the students he had "helped kill this gal and helped behead her."
Ruben was convicted of murder in the first-degree and sentenced to life in prison. Edward was also given a life sentence for first-degree murder.

Our friend Leon should try his game at Hyde Park (or anywhere else where kibitzers are around). "Spectators", as he calls them, just drive me nuts. Some even smoke dope right in front of you. The worse kind are really those who can't take their own medicine.
Just try kibitzing during their games. These guys will froth at their mouths blaming your for all sorts of things. "Yeah, blame your mom", I tell 'em. Bastards!

I was looking at my Gooseberries today (on the lookout for sawfly which can decimate them very quickly), and I saw this caterpillar. I've never seen it before and as it was eating the leaves of the Gooseberry, I didn't want to leave it alone until I knew what it was.
It turns our to be the larva of the Comma Butterfly, one that I had never seen before (despite mis-identifying it last year in August.
Our "Guide to Butterflies and Moths" was simpler to look at than going through the web and says "the caterpillars live singly on nettles, hops, gooseberries and other plants" which meant that I put it back onto the bush, after all what damage can a single caterpillar do and the Comma is a beautiful butterfly.
I found it interesting that the Comma has two different adults emerging from the same eggs, one is a single generation which hibernates at the end of the summer, the other (which I assume is mine) grows an intermediate generation and its offspring will hibernate. The theory being that if its a good summer there will be more butterflies but if its a bad summer, the first will survive. Isn't nature clever.

The Blackzilians fight team is going through some changes.
According to one of the founding members of the Florida-based camp, Rashad Evans, the team had been going through some turmoil over the last year, which ultimately led fighters to go their separate ways.
On top of that, their gym was actually sold and plans to acquire another one never saw the light of the day, leaving members of the camp to train in a temporary facility, while others decided to follow striking coach, Henri Hooft.
"The truth of the matter is, the team is splintered, the team is fragmented," Evans said on a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting). "It just became a very hard thing for Glenn to kind of keep his grasp as far as keeping everyone together. Henri [Hooft] wanted to throw his brand into his own thing and it just wasn't matching up with where Glenn wanted to go. That's part of the fragment, but another part of it was that we didn't have a gym anymore."
"Our gym was sold, and Glenn was supposed to build another gym and I guess they moved into a temporary gym. There was some kind of falling out with the temporary gym, so then part of the team stayed at the temporary gym and more than half of the team went with Henri. I was one of those guys that went with Henri."
As far as the personal beefs within the team, Evans wouldn't go into details, but did say that the drama was too much for him, and ultimately affected his training.
"You got to understand, it was so, so much drama. It was so much drama. It was worse than ten high schools put together, a bunch of gossiping," Evans said. "It was really just a buzzkill to go into the gym at some point," he added.
"And that's why, in my last camp with Kennedy, I had like a nomad mentality when it came to training. Every single day I was like, I'll be here, or I'll be there, because I didn't want to go into the gym. And I would go to the gym sometimes to get some good sparring with those guys, but I wasn't there everyday. I just made my own schedule, and I stuck to my own schedule and did my own thing."
"I mean, at the end of the day, I got so sick and tired of going into the gym and having to put out these fires, and there was so much drama, and everybody jockeying and pushing for position," he said. "I was just like, yo, I just want to train, man. And there's a lot of other guys that just want to train, and that's what the team was made for. So we could have a great training environment. But you start bringing everything else into it and all the drama, it just got exhausting," concluded Evans.
Rashad says he still trains with most members of the team, but didn't reveal if he'd be joining another major fight team down the road, as he admitted it's now what it once was. If you recall, "Suga" had a falling out with famed Jackson-Wink MMA camp back in 2011, leaving the team to train in Florida after his friendship with former 205-pound champion Jon Jones turned sour.
Rashad is eying a return to action this Spring after his scheduled bout against Tim Kennedy — who recently called it quits — was cancelled due to an inept radiologist not doing his due diligence when it came to reading his MRI.
His words, not mine.
As for the aforementioned Hooft, he took to Instagram to confirm he had parted ways with the camp.
After 6 years working with a great team the blackzilians I am going my own way I had a great time met some cool people and learned a lot. Now it's time for #hkickboxing and new challenges that come my way…………….. NOTHING IS FOREVER BUT DREAMS AND GOALS

(Click HERE to check out a desk tour I once did)
Alrighty! Let's move on…
1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi novel by Jason FryMY SMOL BABY! *intense fangirling*
Honestly, this is one of the GREATEST, most EPIC, and AWESOME books I have ever read! If you are an avid Star Wars fan, or are just learning about this galaxy far, far away, I definitely recommend reading it. 😀
2. Life In Motion by Misty Copeland A completely different genre from space opera fiction, Misty Copeland writes about her tragic yet inspiring past. This is a MUST READ!

NIGERIA: All Import Duties Increased by 6.5%
The official exchange rate for import duties to be paid at Nigeria's ports has been increased from NGN306 to the US dollar to NGN326, an increase of about 6.5%. The new rate, effective from 11 June, was set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which sets official exchange rates under its currency management regime.
Emmanuel Onyeme, Public Relations Officer for the Lagos-based Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents said: "The new rate will increase the Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value of every import. It will also inevitably result in increased costs of customs clearance in the country, and in turn to higher prices on imported goods for consumers. Furthermore, there is a danger that shipping will divert to ports in neighbouring countries, such as Cotonou port in Benin, where costs are significantly lower."
Apart from benefiting the government by generating more revenues, assuming no decline in current import quantities, some industry pundits have speculated that the rate hike may be a step by the central bank towards a market-set exchange rate. The market rate is currently about NGN360 to the dollar, rather than its last officially set rate of NGN305. The CBN has to date maintained publicly that its foreign exchange policy remains unchanged.
Andrew Nevin, Advisory Partner and Chief Economist of international accountancy firm, PwC, said: "If the change in the exchange rate used by Nigerian customs is a further step in harmonising the exchange rate, the CBN will explain its strategy in due course."

The days are starting to go fast now, only fifteen to go and it will be Christmas. A miserable day here in Adelaide, windy, sunny patches, showery and not very warm. Strange weather for December.
flowering poppy
(they didn't last long before the heat took them)
We received 7mm of rain the day before, last December nothing, this November we totalled 45mm of rain, last November only 7mm.
The computer has been fixed, unfortunately one side effect is that a lot of the programmes which had been downloaded (itunes, Picasa etc) all have to be downloaded again, and as I am the most computer literate in our household the task has devolved to me....... aargh..... I hate it.


text: The 8th Annual Truckee (Street Clean Up) Day is coming up on June 4th. This event can't be beat, with warmer weather (not last year when it rained, but normally), free T-Shirt, lunch and town wide block party on the Truckee River after. We live in such an amazing place, with beauty in every direction, let's all help to maintain the environment and see good friends and fellow Truckee residents while we're at it! I will be there and will be recruiting my little guys to help (nothing says fun for little boys like trash, mud and the outdoors!). Check out the website to see where a convenient meeting spot is for you. Check-in stations open at 8AM and block party is at Truckee River Regional Park on Brockway Road starting at noon.

One of my passions is fashion, as you all already know. I love shopping and I'm constantly trying to refine and perfect my personal style. Luckily, I am friends with some other stylish ladies that are on the same path: we are all seeking to create the best physical presentation of ourselves.
An absolute angel in a Facebook group I'm part of posted some information on David Kibbe and I started reading it out of curiosity. Imagine my surprise as I discovered the secret to mastering a consistent and impeccable personal style! As it turns out, the best way to style your clothing is to use your body type and facial features as a guide. It's genius: emphasize your natural curves and lines, and you can't help but look your best!
I did the Kibbe quizzes linked here, here and here. The first link is a quick summary of the Kibbe quiz, and the subsequent links are the two-part quiz with photo illustrations. You have to combine the results of Part 1 and Part 2 to come up with an overall score. The quizzes confirmed that I'm a Soft Classic, which resonates deeply with my personal tastes.
Some Soft Classic staples (from Pinterest)
This revelation both excites and frustrates me a bit. Now that I have a clear idea of what silhouettes will most flatter me, I have to go through my closet and clear out the items that don't suit me. This will be an ongoing project for the next couple of weeks, but it will be worth it.
This dress that I purchased from Boohoo is perfect for a Soft Classic
So far, the Truth is Beauty website has been one of the best ones for explaining the Classic archetype and the Soft Classic (Romantic Classic) subtype. I can't wait to show you all how I factor this new information into my style repertoire!

Acceptance of applications for the provision of updated address social assistance will begin on April 1, 2019. For this, contact the Employment center or Population service center at the place of residence.
If the family lives in rural areas - to the akim of the township, village, rural district.
It is necessary to submit an application and provide only an identity card for identification. No other documents are required.
Not necessarily. Address social assistance is assigned from the month of application and does not depend on the day of application. For example, if You submitted documents to the authorized body on April 20, then you will receive a payment in full for the entire month.
Yes, you do. For the appointment of ASA it is necessary to have a permanent or temporary registration at the place of residence.
Until April 1, 2019, the appointment of address social assistance takes into account all family members living together, leading the general economy.
However, the ministry makes additions to the Law "On state address social assistance" in terms of clarifying the composition of the family.
So, from April 1, 2019 only close relatives will be considered in the family: parents, children, adoptive parents, adopted, full and half brothers and sisters, grandfather, grandmother, grandchildren.
If the monthly income of the family per person does not exceed 20 789 KZT, in this case, it is necessary to pay address social assistance. At the same time, the amount of 20 789 KZT is paid to minor children, adults are paid the difference between the average capita income of family and the amount of the ASA criterion.
As an example, take a family of two adult parents and six minor children.
Monthly income:
1. The salary of the father is 150 000 KZT.
2. Special state allowance to large families – 10 504 KZT.
3. State allowance to mother of many children, awarded "Kumis Alka" - 16 160 KZT.
Total monthly family income – 176 664 KZT.
State allowance of a large family and the allowance "Kumis Alka" are excluded from the calculation of the total family income. The average capita income for each family member is calculated: 150 000 divided by 8 people = 18 750 KZT. Accordingly, the family fits the criteria for the provision of ASA.
Calculation of ASA size for children: 20 789 KZT *6 children = 124 734 KZT.
Calculation of ASA size for parents 20 789 KZT. – 18 750 KZT = 2 039 KZT;
Total size of ASA 124 734 KZT + 4 078 KZT = 128 812 KZT.
If earlier this family did not fit the criterion of providing ASA, then from 1 April 2019 it is entitled to receive address social assistance in the amount of 128 812 KZT.
Thus, the total income of the family with the new address social assistance will be: 176 664 KZT. + 128 812 KZT = 305 476 KZT
Yes, income from the personal subsidiary farm is taken into account in determining the total income of the family. Income from PSF is calculated by the "Rules for calculating the total income of a person (family) applying for state address social assistance", approved by the order of the Minister of labor and social protection of population of Kazakhstan dated July 28, 2009. The rules define the rules for calculating income from PSF, taking into account the climatic characteristics of the country's regions.
At the same time, local executive bodies can define a personal subsidiary farm as not giving income. That is, akimats have the right not to take into account the income from PSF at their discretion.
When calculating the total family income for the purpose of ASA will not be taken into account:
1. special state allowance for large families with 4 or more children;
2. allowance for mothers with many children, awarded pendants "Altyn Alka" and "Kumis Alka»;
3. child disability allowance;
4. scholarships for students;
5. one-time payments made by local executive bodies.
Mothers with many children, awarded with pendants "Altyn Alka" and "Kumis Alka", or previously awarded the title of "Mother heroine", awarded the order of "Mother glory" I and II degree, paid a monthly state allowance in the amount of 16 160 KZT. (6.4 MCI). Today 235 thousand mothers have such an honorary title.
Mothers with many children, awarded with pendants "Altyn Alka" and "Kumis Alka", are also exempt from payment:
- vehicle tax and land tax;
- state fees for notarial and legally significant actions in the registration of residence, issuance of passports and identity cards, etc.
Also, mothers who gave birth to 5 or more children and brought them up to 8 years of age, have the right to retire at 53 years.
In addition, taking into account the proposals of citizens, the Ministry has developed a unified package of social assistance and services that will be provided to the recipients of the ASA by local executive bodies. The social package includes 11 measures of social support and social services at the expense of the local executive body, including providing schoolchildren with free hot meals from grade 1-4, preferential travel in public transport, free rest in children's camps, improving living conditions through the system of housing savings, providing school uniforms, books and supplies, and more.
The introduction of a unified social package will make it possible to provide additional social assistance to needy citizens equally in all regions of the country.
Detailed information on the purpose of address social assistance and other types of benefits can be obtained in the employment centers, offices of coordination of employment and social programs, rural akimats, as well as by contacting free number of the call-center "111".
Under the new mechanism, the recipients of the ASA are guaranteed payment in the amount of 20 789 KZT will be paid to children under 18 years of age, and subject to full-time education in organizations of secondary, technical and vocational, post-secondary, higher and postgraduate education after they reach the age of majority before the end of educational institutions (but not more than until the age of 23 years).
The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan 010000,Nur-Sultan city, Mangilik El street 8, House of the Ministries, front door 6, phone: +7 (7172) 74-37-23, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Sep 14, 2011
New York: For S/S 12, Suno designers Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty worked their signature pattern mash-ups in newly subtle way. The pretty collection evoked a simpler time with crisp, striped button-front shirts layered underneath a variety of looks, from apron dresses to peplum tops to girlish separates in lacy eyelet. Balancing the overall feminine feel, collared dickies, peeking out from the necklines of dresses and woven tees, offered a touch of masculinity. Silky slips, wrap dresses and form-fitting sheaths came in a range of florals — watercolored, vintage-y or barely there — and offered a flash of skin in the form of cutouts and bare backs. Towards the end of the show, a pairing of red metallic leather shorts and a foiled wallpaper print provided a flash of contrast to the sweetly humble collection. -Anna Jane Davis
Silhouette: Sheaths / Nipped-in at waist / Tents + sacks / Slouchy bottoms
Color: White / Black / Navy / Pale Yellow / Goldenrod / Metallic Red / Nude / Aqua + Watery Blue
Key Items: Woven tee / Pieced button-front shirt / Knee-length sheath / Pencil skirt / Apron dress / Peplum top
Materials: Cotton shirtings / Eyelet / Silk / Large scale basketweave / Linen / Laminated fabrics / Metallic leather
Print + Pattern: Shirting + awning stripes / A variety of plaids / Watercolor Florals — vintage-y, foil, watercolor, barely there / Wallpaper prints / Graphic Arabesque print / Geos + abstracts / Polka dots

A portion of the trendiest shoes of 2017 were in plain view at Sneaker Con NYC, held at Manhattan's Javits Center on Dec. 16 and 17. Be that as it may, buzzy tennis shoes were not just available to be purchased — eventgoers wore a portion of the year's greatest styles.
Nike x Virgil Abloh kicks — the victor of the Footwear News Achievement Award for Shoe of the Year — were a famous decision for those at the occasion. The 10-piece joint effort amongst Nike and Off-White creator Virgil Abloh highlights 10 great Nike outlines, which Abloh gave a mark turn through deconstructed constructs, uncovered layers and half-completed creases.
With just a restricted amount of the shoes made, the Nike x Virgil Abloh tennis shoe was a significantly pined for shoe style this year.
While the Nike x Virgil Abloh shoes have nonpartisan uppers, tennis shoes with strong hues all through likewise demonstrated prominent among Sneaker Con participants. Nike Air Jordans in cherry red and electric blue were spotted at Rhe occasion, as were bright Nike Kyrie Irving kicks. What's more, other hot coordinated efforts, similar to Vans x Fear of God tennis shoes, were likewise observed on participants.

Obviously, Adidas Yeezy tennis shoes made a solid appearing in the city outside Sneaker Con — and Yeezys were the most-needed thing among those hoping to purchase shoes inside. The Kanye West-made tennis shoes have been must-have things for sneakerheads for quite a while, with fanatics of the kicks holding up in long queues or online lines to get their hands on a couple.
Albeit a portion of the more up to date Yeezy models, similar to the Wave Runner 700, fall into the revolting tennis shoe classification that is right now on-incline, the exemplary Yeezy Boost 350 shoes have kept their notoriety.

Producer of Earthcore: Shattered Elements Radek Smektala talked about the creation of the battle card game with Unity5.
Unity 5 is a great engine for creating mobile games. It provides developers with a whole bunch of different tools, that help t build games faster and monetize them in a much more effective manner. We've talked with the creators of the new online card game Earthcore: Shattered Elements and discussed the way Unity helped them during the development.
Tequila Games is based in Wroclaw, a beautiful city in southern Poland. We've started working on mobile games back in the dark ages of feature phones. We used to focus on casual free-to-play games, such as Fantasy Kingdom Defense and the BattleFriends series. Earthcore: Shattered Elements is our first title developed for a more advanced audience and we couldn't be prouder of it.
Mobile market is constantly changing. One day everybody follows a particular business model and then, out of nowhere, Crossy Road comes out and everything changes. I'm sure there will be many similar game-changers in the near future, completely changing the face of free-to-play mobile gaming. That's what makes this the perfect time to produce new titles as the market is hungry for innovation.
About Earthcore: Shattered Elements
Earthcore is a dynamic collectible card game with unique crafting mechanic, allowing players to create their own cards. The basic gameplay revolves around three elements that influence each other in an intuitive way. Fire cards burn Earth cards, Earth absorbs Water and Water extinguishes Fire.
While the core mechanics are relatively simple, each card has an unique skill which can completely change the situation on the battlefield. The rules are completely original, not based on any existing card game or RPG system
Using Unity
We've already had a lot of experience with Unity, having developed no less than four different games using it (not counting Earthcore). We are very comfortable with the engine.
If I were to pick just one of Unity's many virtues to commend, it would be the swiftness with which we can test and release our games for different platforms. Back in the day, porting was a major headache for us. Today, thanks to Unity, we have the game working on most of Android and iOS devices under the sun, with full cross-platform compatibility to boot.
Building Prototypes
Earthcore began as a simple rock-paper-scissors game and didn't turn into a card game until many prototypes later. We kept adding more mechanics to make the experience not only more fun but also deeper. Of course, some things had to be cut out as well. This process allowed us to construct the best possible version of the game. It took time, as each major milestone had to be extensively playtested and we were never quite sure what the feedback will be. That being said, such an approach had a big impact on the quality of the final product and was definitely worth it.
Earthcore is mostly supported by sales of limited booster packs. However, since we want the game to be truly free-to-play, those limited boosters differ from regular ones mostly by higher probability for specific cards. Still, all cards can be randomly drawn from any pack, even the least expensive regular one. By choosing to buy limited boosters, players pay for convenience, not advantage.
Earthcore's most innovative feature, Card Crafting, allows players to add skills to special Hero cards, thus creating their own unique tactics. This process takes time but can be sped up with Diamonds, the game's premium currency.
Finally, players may purchase exclusive Avatars which serve a purely cosmetic purpose.
In-app Store
The most important thing while building an in-app store is to make the player understand the in-game value of whatever you're selling and make sure to clearly explain the difference between different products. Of course, a clean but attractive design of the store is very important. You want your purchasable goods to look inviting – consider adding animation to make them appear even more impressive. But above all of that, just be confident that you are selling things that players have an actual incentive to buy.
Creating VFX
We are working with a number of talented animators with past experience in movies and TV. At the beginning, we are making a number of alternate mockups in Adobe After Effects. Then, once we choose the version that's both good looking and technically feasible, the animators switch to Unity and recreate the effect in the engine. This part of the process usually requires very little support from the programmers.
Of course, there are many challenges that we have to face on a daily basis, mostly related to memory limitations on mobile devices. However, we are committed to overcoming those restraints and make Earthcore look beautiful regardless of the platform.
The Cross-platform future
Games have never been bigger and the tools for creating them are both accessible and widely available. I am confident that the industry is not going anywhere but forward. If I were to make a prediction for the future, I'd say that as time goes by, more titles will be cross-platform, making one's choice of games much less dependent on the platform than it is today. I presume that productions of the future will be playable on everything, from mobile phones to smart TVs, and players will be able to switch freely between platforms without losing progress. Some services already work this way, for example Facebook or Netflix. I'm sure the games industry will follow a similar path sooner rather than later.

Magical Mayflower Wedding
Read all about how they met, how they fell in love and how Heather planned this gorgeous wedding!
Images by Jayrol
Loving the details of this wedding? Contact the Bride herself, the Owner & Designer of Heatherglyphics, a company offering Day-Of Coordinating services, and anything to do with wedding stationary needs (invitations, Save-the-Dates, escort cards, menus, etc.)
From Heather, the beautiful Bride:
My husband Matthew and I were just married this past November 23, 2013 at the glorious Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. The Mayflower Hotel was the perfect venue for our late-fall nuptials. The color decor of the hotel with their already rich gold columns, & deep maroon tapestries, matched perfectly to our gold-black-red color scheme for our Vintage Glam wedding. I myself am a wedding planner, and also own a small wedding stationary business so I already had my wedding planned down to every last rose petal and dot of the 'i' with my calligraphy pen. All I had to find was the perfect man…which occurred 3 years ago.
It was September of 2010, and I was a 4th grade teacher preparing for my students to enter into the room for the first day of school. It was Back-to-School Day where parents bring in the students to meet their teacher and unpack their supplies in their desk…that is where I saw a visibly stressed father with two girls trying to bounce between my room and the one down the hall with the younger daughter. Instantaneously I developed a bond with the one in my class, Lianna. As school started that year, I noticed what a kind-hearted young girl she really was. At that time I was also busy trying to juggle completing my master's degree and fulfilling the requirements of my full-time teaching job. To not waste time in traffic on my commute home, I would stay at school late to work on grad assignments, papers, and so on. It was around that time when Lianna became a bit absent-minded and started to forget her homework assignments. She convinced her dad to drive her to the school in the early evening so she could retrieve her homework from her desk. And be it that I was staying late, I was still in the classroom when Lianna, her little sister Alexis, and her dad (Matthew) came in. Lianna provoked conversation between Matthew and I, which to be honest I was quite excited and invigorated. Matt and I talked for hours about random things; the two of us being from NY, families, careers, etc., beginning to forget we had 2 little ones listening to our every word. After that conversation that evening in the school I started to look at Matt differently but not really knowing how or why. I recall calling my very good friend Susan (my MOH in the wedding) after that telling her about that evening and how I wasn't sure if this attractive dad in my class was "hitting on me". Later on in the month of November 2010, I was under pressure trying to complete an extremely difficult assignment in my graduate statistics course, and I was banging my head against the wall. I vaguely remembered Matt mentioning in our conversation that he worked with data and numbers for his job. I had to email him that day anyways due to Lianna not having the correct supply for something we were doing in class, and in the email I proceeded to ask him if he had ever used SPSS before (which is the software program I had to use for the project). Minutes later I received a response in my inbox where he told me he was very familiar with it and would help if I needed it. After several email exchanges later, we had determined we would meet for coffee at Starbucks so he could assist me with the project. The 'Starbucks' evening came and I had never been so flustered and confused about what to wear…because was this a "date", a chat, a tutoring session??….Nevertheless, Matt volunteered to drive to the Starbucks near me. I arrived first and found a table, and about 5 minutes later, a nervous Matt rounded the corner and at that instant I no longer saw him as a parent of a student in my class. We got started on my SPSS project and finished it quickly (I also found out months later that he did NOT have experience with SPSS, and that he went crazy teaching himself about it and how to use it in order to help me that evening). We then spent hours after that talking more personally about ourselves. Neither of us wanted the evening to end….I had endless butterflies not knowing what was happening but I found solace in knowing that it was happiness that I felt. I invited him to my house for some wine, where we then spent 4 more hours just talking about everything under the sun. When he left, I had known that whatever that was that I had just experienced I did not want to end. We were engaged in June 2012 and had the most glorious wedding in November 2013 in DC since that is where all of our first dates were where we fell in love.
Our Vintage-Glam wedding also took on another theme, which was 'Friends and Family'. Special touches created by loved ones adorned our wedding; a dessert table where both of our mothers made our favorite sweet treats, an antique family photo table of gorgeous vintage prints sat in the reception ballroom, two of my very dear friends performed our first dance song, "A Thousand Years", my cathedral length mantilla veil was made by a close friend from delicate lace and fabrics off of my mother's wedding gown, my father constructed the table numbers, each bridesmaid bouquet had a gold monogram pin attached to the wrapped stems to make it personalized….and so many more intimate details that made our day simply perfect.

This day is observed every year on 14 February and is also known as St Valentine's Day as honors one of the two early saints Valentinus. Valentine Day is acknowledged as a religious, cultural and promotional celebration of Romance and Love in many regions around the world but is not a public holiday in any country. Pope Gelasius in 496 AD is said to be the incorporator of this day. Countless martyrs were martyrs for several reasons in the early years however none of them were associated with Valentine or Love. First time in the 14th century Valentine was associated with love and since then it is being followed as a tradition to start with a particular Valentine. Some believe that this day is to respect Saint Valentine who refused to follow the order of Claudius II who was the Emperor and Claudius II believed that young men should refrain from love as they no longer remain fine soldiers.
However, the saint did not follow his orders and helped many men marry very secretly. Thus the Emperor ordered his people to kill Saint Valentine and since then the Valentine's Day was started. This day is mostly celebrated in western countries but is now making its presence in other countries of the world. On this day, Lovers exchange cards and gifts to express their love for each other while who are single look for their Valentine. Special candlelight dinners and dance parties are organized by many clubs accompanied by music all around.

an old friend pam, who i met through my friend carol, when we were – maybe 8-9 years old, hosted a first birthday party for her sweet babe leighton! the theme was alice in wonderland and it was so darn cute and cuuuuuute!
pam went all out. there were fun, festive themed decorations everywhere! an easel greeted us on the walkway. there were decorations on the front door, in the hallway, she made a photo booth, a tea party table…i felt like pam was my long lost sister in the party throwing/hosting department! i loved all the details! it was all so cute and perfect!
olive disappeared as soon as we walked inside. she spied the playroom and was gone forever. i chatted with pam's bestie becky for a bit and made my rounds saying hello to people i knew. i was able to chat with pam's mom, carol, for awhile, which was really nice because i don't get to see her very much! i nibbled on some food, checked up on olive, and mingled a bit with some guests.
i convinced olive to sit down for some fruit and pbj, in which she obliged. she was having so much fun with the other kids! i love that she can mold into the new environments and feel comfortable befriending new people. she tends to play a lot by herself {which is ok} but i love that she can entertain herself and be fine or blend into a group.
after we sang happy birthday to leighton, we snapped some pics in the photo booth, and then later, pam opened up the presents given to leighton. olive was sooooo excited to help! i had to tell her a few times to back down and not prematurely open up gifts that were not hers! hahaha!
olive was very sad to leave. she was having so much fun! it fills my heart with joy that my girl was having a good time! i was a bit sad to pull her away but we needed to get home to the hubs and ellie.
thanks pam and ryan for throwing a wonderful, beautiful birthday party for leighton! it was perfectly done and you two are the best hosts!
[tea party coming right up!]
[presents galore]

Join Saviynt's Chief Cloud Officer, Vibhuti Sinha for an informative discussion around Securing Privileged Access to Cloud Infrastructure and SaaS at Enterprise Scale.
How to Effectively Govern Critical Application and Infrastructure Access Controls
Hybrid IT environments today include a blend of on-prem, private, managed and public cloud applications and infrastructure elements, so organizations can economically, and flexibly manage a more powerful mix of workloads to drive business.
From a governance, risk and compliance perspective, enforcing policies in hybrid environments requires the ability to holistically manage and control access to and within applications (roles, entitlements), and key infrastructure zones (applications, servers, databases and infrastructure controls).
In this webinar, Grant Small, CEO at LegionStar and Joe Raschke, Field CTO at Saviynt discussed how you can extend your existing on-prem identity governance, risk and compliance policies to enforce the critical intersections of access deep within, and to as-a-service applications and infrastructure assets.
Points discussed:
- How to build a risk assessment and prevention plan.
- The types of processes companies are implementing for their cloud governance.
- What cross-platform tools are helpful when managing applications and infrastructure assets in hybrid environments.

Another recipe made from my gift book, the complete recipe is here, although the crepe recipe differs slightly from the one that is in my book. The crepe batter seemed quite thick, so I added a little more water which helped the batter swirl round the pan nicely.
Quite an easy recipe, the part that took the longest was making all the crepes, if you had two pans then it would take less time. I don't think I would make this again, it has a good appearance, but when it came to eating it, both the Mister and I thought we would rather have the Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie that I made a week or so ago.

Obagi360 Retinol .5%
Get a jump start on your anti-aging, healthy skin routine with Obagi360 Retinol .5%. If you're not ready for prescription tretinoin (generic Retin A), you still have an option to fight fine lines and loss of collagen that begins after age 20. The best defense is a strong offense. Great for ages 20s and 30s.
An early start on anti-aging skin care needs Obagi360 retinol
It's a fact that collagen production begins declining after age 20. After the mid-30s, collagen production slows at a rate of 1-2% every year. Other than jumping into potent skin care products that may irritate sensitive skin, Obagi offers an intermediate step. Obagi's Retinol is an over the counter formula created with "entrapped retinol," for a slower delivery of Vitamin A into the skin.
Be proactive with Obagi's retinol 0.5% early in the aging process. Use to gradually erase the appearance of fine lines, rough skin, and discoloration. Brighten dull skin with exfoliation of old skin cells on the outer layer of the epidermis. Obagi360 Retinol .5% is formulated with skin calming natural ingredients chamomile, sage extract, and shea butter.
Should I use retinol or tretinoin?
If you are in your 20s and 30s without a lot of sun and pollution damage, Obagi's over the counter retinol creams in the Obagi360 line can be a great choice to begin your lifelong skincare routine. Retinol is a great starting point if you have not used a retinoid before and/or your skin is sensitive. Obagi's 360 retinol is time-released to give the skin more time to adjust.
The prescription retinoid tretinoin (generic Retin A) is prescribed for acne and generally for people in their 40s and up to reduce more visible signs of aging and sun damage.

A colleague of mine recently shared an online article with me called "Can the NFL Ban on Marketplace Sales Succeed?" Within the article, the writer describes a recent quoted policy by the NFL restricting distributors and retailers from selling to other online sellers and retailers. While the article leans towards the effect this will have on smaller retailers attempting to survive, it actually highlights a bigger issue that the NFL, and all brand owners, want to encourage: accountability.
Roughly 8% of all retail sales in the United States occurs online[1]. And that number is only going to grow. Brand owners looking to reach consumers of licensed merchandise have thus far taken a "good faith" approach that legitimate distributors and retailers will sell to consumers and reputable sellers. Unfortunately, the proliferation of counterfeit online goods has eroded that good faith. It's been up to the brand owners to put policies in place to protect their licensed partners in the distribution and retail chain.
The NFL approach is a bit different in that it's now asking distributors and retailers to share in the responsibility. Retailers are allowed to sell licensed merchandise on their own online sites, but not to individuals who will then resell those items on eBay, Amazon and other third party online avenues. Those retailers that won't comply may have their ability to sell NFL merchandise revoked.
In my personal opinion, I like the policy. It's easy for the consumer to blame brand owners and law enforcement for not doing enough to fight the plague of counterfeiting. However, the supply chain has responsibility as well. Distributors and retailers have a responsibility to know what anyone buying in bulk is going to do with those goods.
The author quotes a consultant who says that the way to enforce this is to mark the goods and track them throughout the entire supply chain. We currently do this for several clients with our OpSec InSight platform. However, the consultant is correct in mentioning that it requires two things: investment and cooperation.
The NFL is merely the first domino to fall. You can bet that many other licensed properties, sports and otherwise, will follow suit. You've heard the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child?" Well, it's going to take all of us to stop counterfeiting and protect the consumer, the public and ourselves.
