Year in Hedvig 2018
As 2018 comes to a close I wanted to take a few minutes to sit back and reflect on what this year has meant for Hedvig and for insurance in Sweden. And what a year it's been.
We started off the year very humbly. No finished product. No office or big team. No insurance provider. No members! And while 12 months in the history of insurance might be barely a drop in the bucket, we've managed to achieve an awful lot in that time. In February we signed re-insurance agreement to allow us to officially onboard our first member (hi Matilda!) 👋 In early May we officially launched, bringing Sweden its first app-based, no fixed contract, no conflict-of-interest insurance. Then just a few days later we had our first claim filed and helped a member replace a mobile phone which they'd lost. This was a huge milestone for us since then launch we've had nothing but exponential growth.
In June we presented our story at the Brilliant Minds Symposium in Stockholm where CEOs and top investors from around the world gathered. Lucas dazzled the crowd by showing off just how easy and quick a claim can be when done right.
And shortly after that we were named one of Europe's Hottest Startups of 2018. 🚀 After coming back from much-needed summer holidays we quickly rolled out our Student Program to give Swedish University students the easiest, most-flexible and affordable home and rental insurance. We hit campuses across the country to get the word out and students quickly became one of our biggest markets. As we moved into the fall we were proud to announce that we'd secured a round of funding led by Cherry Ventures which helped enable us to grow our wonderful team to the point where we are 20+ people recruited from some of Sweden's top tech companies, who are all working to bring you the most remarkable insurance experience possible. And just the other day we launched the first (as far as we know!) open insurance community where our members will now have a say in how their insurance is built and provide us with continuous feedback. As we end this amazing year we think 2019 will be even better for Hedvig, for the insurance industry and for our members.
We have big plans to expand our service past apartments into new insurance areas. We're actively planning to expand Hedvig across Europe. And we're working tirelessly to add more and more value and features to your existing insurance and app experience.
We can't wait to show it all off.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Hedvig! 🎄

Railovo guesthouse is located in the village of Lyulin, Pernik district, on the southwest slope of the charming Lyulin Mountain. The house is situated at distance 25 km from the capital city of Bulgaria Sofia and is entirely at your disposal. At our place you will enjoy the crystal clear air, calmness and nature, far from the loudly advertised and crowded tourist destinations.
The mountain is relatively low and easily accessible; the hiking routes are pleasant and not very difficult. The Buchinski pass divides the mountain to an East part (closer to Sofia, the highest peak being Dupevitsa – 1256 m) and a West part (closer to Pernik, the highest peak being Railovo gradishte – 1199 m.). And while, hiking in the East part, you can still meet some tourists, the West part, above the village of Lyulin, will be yours only…It is up to you to choose between the meadows with beautiful views on the South slope or the forests on the West slope. At 20 minutes walk from the house the small monastery "Saint Nikolay" is located, in the vicinity of which you can have an unforgettable picnic.
The house is extremely suitable for family weekends and holidays. The mountain is charming all year round and provides opportunities for exciting hiking tours and outings. Those, who feel lazy, can enjoy their favorite drinks on the beautiful and green verandah. At the disposal of the fishermen there are several small water basins close to the village.
The house faces a wooded slope to the Southwest. There is a river passing through the lower part of the garden. It is not very deep, however, its murmur increases the sense of calmness and romance. On the large barbeque you can prepare tasty dinner for the whole party. If you prefer (you have to order in advance) the hosts will cook for you – you can have grilled meat (BBQ), musaka, lentils or beans soup or dish of your choice.
There are four extremely comfortable bedrooms, predisposing to a blissful, quiet and relaxing holiday, far from the monotony and stress of the city life.
First floor: a lounge with a pull-out couch and arm-chairs, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, where you can prepare your meals, a laundry room, a bathroom with WC, a fireplace, a barbeque outside.
Second floor: a double room, a twin bedroom, two bathrooms with WC, a big verandah.
Third floor: two twin bedrooms, a bathroom with a tub and WC, a terrace.

How Naltrexone is used in Medication Assisted Treatment in Coral Springs
Drug and alcohol addiction has become far too common in our society today. Opioids are a leading drug addiction, and finding new, more effective ways to help those with opioid addiction is important. One of the newer ways that help opioid addicts is what is called medication assisted treatment. This treatment plan prescribes addicts with medication that helps combat the drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms an addict might face when trying to quit. Naltrexone is one of the three common medications prescribed, and it has a variety of different positive effects in helping those battling addiction.
How Does Naltrexone Help Fight Opioid Dependency?
At Edge Recovery one of the medications we support to help fight opioid addiction and promote recovery is naltrexone. This medication works in a few different ways, and cannot be used until the patient has been free from opioids for seven days. After the seven days, the patient can begin using this medication. Taken either orally or by injection, this is carefully prescribed by a licensed doctor. Naltrexone helps to block the euphoric effect one feels when using opioids. It can also help block the sedative effects from opioids.
Naltrexone is an effective medication because of how it blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of opioids. When on naltrexone, even if the patient relapses and uses opioids, they will not feel the same effects they did in the past when consuming the drug. Combining naltrexone with counseling and therapy programs can help an addict fully achieve sobriety.
Edge Recovery offers a 120 day supported medication assisted treatment program in Coral Springs. If you or someone you love is addicted to opioids, now is the time to get help. You don't have to live your life struggling with addiction. Help is available, and medication assisted treatment is one way you could get the treatment you need. Don't wait any longer to take the first step on your road to recovery. Call Edge Recovery today to learn more about how we support a medication assisted treatment in Coral Springs.

The Secret to Longevity? Change Your Habits.
The Secret to Longevity? Change Your Habits.
"Remember, your cells are continually dying and new ones are taking their place. If the new ones that come in are not healthy, then you can imagine what happens to your body: it starts deteriorating."
Elaine LaLanne is a fitness inspiration to us all. At 91, the "First Lady of Physical Fitness" is still living well and aging gracefully. She was even recently inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame. In the spirit of keeping her husband Jack Lalanne's legacy alive, Elaine shares with you the three things that she says have helped keep her going strong to this day.
ATTITUDE: How do you look at life? If your attitude is "I can't," "that won't help" or "I'll never be able to," then you've already lost! My attitude—no matter how dim the situation may be— is always positive.
Have you ever looked back on a situation that you thought was devastating and that you just couldn't get through? Well, you made it, didn't you? As my husband Jack used to say, "Life is like a battlefield. You have to keep forging ahead."
Life is continually sending you situations that you think you can't handle, but you can if you have the right attitude. I always like to keep a smile on my face.
CONSISTANCY AND MODERATION: Being consistent about maintaining a healthy body means not only eating foods in the natural state as much as possible, but being consistent in your exercise workouts as well.
Moderation is one of the keys I follow. Don't go overboard on one thing and neglect another. Exercise and nutrition go hand in hand. You can't expect to become enthusiastic about working out, or work out for a period of time and then quit. You eat every day, you sleep every day and your body was made to move and do some form of exercise every day. Jack said it in one sentence: "Exercise is King. Nutrition is Queen. Put them together and you have a Kingdom." One of the first things I learned from him was to avoid extremes.. If you are consistent, then you will see the changes you desire.
RESISTANCE: Another key to help get your body in shape is resisting foods that are undermining your health.
When you put something in your mouth, ask yourself "What is this going to do for me?"
Resistance is also a tool to build and tone up the muscles in your body. Weight training gives you resistance. Jack was the one in the 1930s who devised many of the concepts that are used in gyms today, including the weight selector, the leg extension machine and the Smith Machine. In the 1950s, he came out with the resistance rubber band, called the Glamour Stretcher. Today, we are using stretch bands on the unit called Core Strength 1 powered by Jack Lalanne, a multi-functional, portable machine that incorporates stretch bands that are used in schools, spas, and fire and police departments.
Overall, if you want to contribute to your longevity, then change bad habits for good habits. Remember: your cells are continually dying and new ones are taking their place. If the new ones that come in are not healthy, then you can imagine what happens to your body: it starts deteriorating. If you exercise and improve your eating habits, then those new cells should be superior to the old ones, thus helping to reverse the aging process.
This has long been my goal and I'm still working on it. I have great faith in life. I take the bitter with the sweet. And, I know the Almighty is watching over all of us; we just have to BELIEVE! May you be Forever Young!

Smiley Spotty Snakes
While I was helping out as a volunteer at the Gesundheit! Institute, West Virginia, USA, I was inspired to paint a snake coiled around a new gatepost. As I was painting away, Wildman Adams came over, saw the snake, and said 'Splendid'!
That's how Splendid the Snake got his name. You can see him in the Murals page of the Gallery.
Once back in Scotland, I felt it only right to dedicate a collection of these cheerful reptiles in honour of this gate guardian.

Putting everything on the table
By TRAVIS WEIK - firstname.lastname@example.com
South Henry schools are preparing to tighten their belts for the next couple years.
The student count last fall showed that a combined enrollment at Tri Elementary and Tri High is down 64 students from the previous year.
Since education funding is tied to enrollment, that means the South Henry School Corporation will need to get by with about $380,000 less in next year's budget.
South Henry School Board members met with Superintendent Wes Hammond, central office staff and the building principals Monday night to talk about school finances and discuss ways to keep everything running smoothly.
The board didn't make any decisions at the work session. It was an informational meeting only.
At the start of the meeting, South Henry Business Manager Amy Milner explained the new budgeting process the state implemented.
Each public school corporation still has a debt-service fund, a pension-debt-service fund for retiree benefits and a rainy day fund. Daily expenses, however, are now separated into an Education Fund or an Operations Fund.
The Education Fund essentially includes everything directly involved with teaching students, Milner said. That includes teacher and building administrator salaries.
All other "non-instructional" expenses are now in Operations. This includes bus replacements, transportation, capital projects, central office salaries and utilities.
Hammond said schools have the ability to move some money from Education to Operations, if they need to.
"Our issue is we have less to transfer out of Education than we would have if we hadn't lost those 64 kids," Hammond said.
South Henry board members are curious where the students went. Hammond said there are just fewer kids in Henry County right now for all the schools to share.
There was also some discussion of creating a sort of "exit interview" to understand why students transfer out of the district. Some students may also have begun homeschooling or attending online classes.
Hammond and Milner worked up financial projections based on having lower enrollment numbers in the future. Hammond explained it is better to plan for low numbers than to budget with the hope of bringing in new kids.
The goal is for South Henry School Corporation to get into position during the 2019-2020 school year to be ready for less revenue in the 2020-2021 school year.
"We want to be conservative now and tighten the belt now," Hammond said.
Hammond said all options are currently on the table for making the budget work.
He said all business decisions at South Henry School Corporation will be made with the students' best interests in mind.
"Some of these are not very big savings, but they add up," Hammond told his board.
South Henry will see some savings as teachers and staff members retire, for example. The board doesn't have to replace each teacher. Even when they do, new teachers with less experience will earn less than teachers at the top of the pay scale.
Hammond said the district can also save a little money by depending solely on federal Title II grant money for professional development and by seeking other grant opportunities.
Tri schools might also move away from summer school and begin focusing on remediation throughout the year, Hammond said.
South Henry School Corporation has a bit of breathing room this year because the district received $200,000 more in tax revenue this year than it expected.
Hammond said the "levy excess" came from people in the district catching up on their back taxes or even buying up empty buildings to get them back on the tax rolls.
It is unusual for schools to receive such a high levy excess payment, and South Henry School Corporation cannot bank on that happening again in upcoming years.
Hammond said Monday's meeting was all about getting financial information in the board members' hands so they could start mulling over some of his recommendations.
"We're not ready to make a decision right now," Hammond said. "We don't need to act on any of these right away."
The South Henry School Board will have their regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12 in the Tri High library, 6972 S. Ind. 103.

Two Brooklyn residents were arrested last night after a 4-year-old in their care was found sleeping in the back of a day-care van.
Shaun Holley, 34, the van driver, and Denese Hoyte, 35, the matron, were charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Cops found the child inside the van, parked outside Holley's home, at about 7 p.m. – an hour after the little girl's mom reported she hadn't been brought home from day care.

Recent changes to state pensions could result in thousands of people facing a drastic cut in their potential State Pension entitlement upon divorce.
The Office for National Statistics indicate that there are approximately 110,000 divorces each year and therefore this could affect a huge amount of people.
Under the old rules it was possible for a divorced spouse – until their remarriage – with a lower National Insurance Contribution/ lower state pension entitlement, to adopt their ex spouses' state pension provision on divorce without affecting the amount of state pension their ex spouse would receive.
Both parties could therefore enjoy the full rate of the ex spouse with the highest state pension provision. This was known as the Substitution Rule.
The new rules, which came into force in April 2016, now specify that your State Pension entitlement will be based solely on your own National Insurance records. It is still possible that a spouse can seek the enhancement but only in very limited circumstances.
What can be done in relation to this?
When determining the division of matrimonial finances within divorce the Court have the power to divide pension provision. In certain circumstances, it may be possible to obtain a pension sharing order for any Additional State Pension provision or any difference in State Pension Values, including basic rate and additional state pension, could be offset against any private pensions to ensure pensions are properly and fairly divided.
Alternatively, it may be appropriate to apportion other matrimonial assets so as to take account of the disparity between the couples State and Private Pensions.
If you are unsure as to whether you would be affected by these changes it is possible to obtain information from the Department for Works and Pensions. This can be requested online or by sending the request in Forms BR19 and BR20.

Rotarians toast and roast Sheriff Gage
By Kris Nordstrom McBride
The Woodlands Rotary Club has once again hit the jackpot with after an evening of western glitz and glamour at the eighth annual Woodlands Rotary Club Wine Dinner .
Saturday, February 1, saw The Woodlands Waterway Marriot's line to valet park filled with fancy pickup trucks and tall boy SUVs as South County honored and lightly roasted Montgomery County Sheriff Tommy Gage. As this year's dinner honoree, Sheriff Gage was surrounded by folks who have loved and admired him for many years, and all for a great cause — the ongoing work of The Woodlands Rotary Club Foundation and their many charitable works both locally and around the world. The dinner, always a sellout crowd with 400 plus in attendance, featured the wines of Jeriko Estates in California, craft beers from local favorite Southern Star Brewery in Conroe, and a delectable four course meal.
Representative Kevin Brady was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Ms. Stephanie Dunlop, a Lone Star College Nursing Student, who received a scholarship from WRC, spoke of the impact the scholarship made on her life. Then Representative Steve Toth and Tax Assessor J. R. Moore both spoke of the sheriff's many accomplishments, throwing in a few funny stories along the way. The tributes were capped by the lovely Nelda Luce Blair, who pulled off a great balance of toast and roast in a speech that was both hilarious and heartfelt. Although final fundraising numbers are still pending, it is a sure deal that WRC raised a tidy sum and a great time was had by all. Congrats WRC and Sheriff Gage.
Rotary Tidbits from our Rotary eyes and ears around the county:
On January 30th David Behring spoke to Woodlands Rotarians about his Worldwide Wheelchair Foundation. It is a non-profit organization leading an international effort to create awareness of the needs and abilities of people with physical disabilities. David spoke of the Foundation's noble effort to distribute 1,000,000 wheelchairs to every child, teen and adult around the world who needs but cannot afford one. The group has currently distributed over 940,000 in 150 plus countries and regions.
The RC of Conroe hosted a Blood Drive Tuesday, February 11 at John Weisner Automotive, Wilson Road at Interstate 45. The drive was a great success. We've been told that blood supplies are at a critically low level at present, so help is still needed from all who can give. You can still sign up at www.giveblood.org or just call one of the neighborhood Blood Center Offices and ask that your donation be credited to the Conroe RC drive (or the Woodlands RC drive). The lives you save with your donation could be that of someone you love.
The RC of Lake Conroe welcomed Debbie Bell of Refuge International as it's speaker earlier this month. Refuge International is a 501(c) 3 volunteer organization "dedicated to the goal of improving the lives of families and individuals through the collaborative development of sustainable programs in the areas where healthcare, adequate nutrition, clean water, and education are lacking or non-existent." Nine years ago, Refuge International was asked to visit a remote area of Guatemala, which a missionary from Belize described as the "worst area he had ever seen in Central America." The village of Sarstun is located on the Sarstun River, where it empties in the Gulf of Honduras. It is an isolated village only accessible by boat. When Refuge International arrived, they found malnourished children, no clean water, no electricity, no phones service and only a handful of children were enrolled in school. Also, the death rate of mothers and infants were among the highest in Guatemala. Refuge made a commitment to help. Now the area has clean water wells, children are being de-wormed and provided medical assistance, teachers have been placed in the schools, and a full time clinic has been placed in the area. Donations are needed to help maintain the area. Refuge International needs donations for teachers salaries, medical equipment, gas for the boat and ambulance, and medicine. Volunteers are also needed. Visit their website at www.refugeinternational.com.
How was your Valentine's Day? Rotarians had some fun during the week of hearts and flowers. Details next week!

"My heroes have the heart, to lose the life I'd wanna live… and all I remember
is thinking, I want to be like them…"
Crazy, Gnarls Barkley
Yup! I remember when I almost lost my mind. It was late 2013 and it wasn't even pleasant. Fours years and a lot of introspection later, I'm going on two years since my last mood swing. It hasn't been easy. And I admit, I had a bit of a scare earlier in the fall. But that amounted to much of nothing after I decided to stay Roads side for my yearly vacation. During that time I got plenty of rest, was able to clear my head and remember the fight I started fours years ago was far from over. Now that my physical health is on the mend, I feel confident again to pick up my mantle. Shake off the dust and continue the good fight. Not only for the mentality ill across our nation, but also for people of color. All the while I pursue the person I am and work to become the person I want to be.

The family-friendly Pokémon series has been around since 1996 and has been continually growing in popularity. The anime/film/gaming franchise has become an unavoidable phenomenon that dominates Nintendo's handheld series of gaming consoles. The prolific franchise contains an impressive 18 seasons of the anime, countless games — including the smash hit mobile game Pokémon Go — and even its own real-life Pokemon Center. And yet, even some diehard fans aren't aware of all of the dark secrets lurking behind-the-scenes.
Maybe you have heard of the relatively recent Creepypasta that blames Lavender Town for an eerie (and untrue) rash of deaths. Or perhaps you stumbled across that one episode featuring James of Team Rocket posing as a woman. And what truly dedicated fan hasn't scoured their local flea market for that infamous copy of the allegedly dark Pokemon Black — the fabled inversion of the traditionally structured Pokemon Red and Blue? These stories are now legendary, but they aren't even the half of it.
From the bad timing of the unaired "Episode AG101" coinciding with a devastating earthquake to Pikachu voice actress Ikue Otani's hoax, here are 15 Dark Secrets Behind Pokémon.
15 Rhydon Was Actually Supposed To Be The First Pokémon
Bulbasaur is obviously the first Pokémon listed in the Pokédex, but the lore states Arceus was the first to exist. And yet, the first Pokémon ever designed by the great, Ken Sugimori was Rhydon.
While being the 112th Pokemon listed in the Pokédex, early sketches of the rhino-like Pokémon can be seen out of its Pokéball, wandering a cave with Red, the original Pokemon trainer.
While Rhydon is the non-canon first, Clefairy and Lapras were also designed very early in the conception of Pokémon Red and Blue. Sugimori had designed these Pokemon stating, "At first, we'd planned to have Pokémon living alongside humans, making their lives easier." This would explain why Rhydon can learn the moves "Surf" and "Strength" from HM's in Pokémon Red and Blue.
14 It Took Snorlax 17 Years To Stand Up
It takes more than just a Pokéflute to get a Snorlax to stand up, it also takes time. 17 years to be exact. In the games, Snorlax can be seen blocking paths and laying down in the middle of battle. Ever since 1996, this dozy character has been laying or sitting down. After the 2013 release of Pokémon X and Y, fans immediately started to buzz over the now-standing Snorlax.
It's believed that Game Freak did this intentionally.
Seeing the images side-by-side, it certainly looks to be the case. The 1996 version of the character looks content, so content that in 1998 it moves to a Burt Reynolds-esque pose. In 2002, it seems as though the hefty character gives maximum effort to get moving, only to succumb to the weight of the situation by 2004. Snorlax redoubled on its effort and finally made it to its feet nine years later.
13 The creator flunked out of high school due to his obsessions
Satoshi Tajiri — creator of the Pokémon franchise and the Game Freak game company — has a high-functioning form of autism. As a boy, Tajiri had a peculiar obsession with bug collecting. His classmates latched onto the uniqueness of Tajiri's hobby and began to mock him with unwanted nicknames like "Dr. Bug."
It turns out that his fascination with bug collecting would benefit children and adults across the entire planet by inspiring Ash Ketchum's journey to be the very best (like no one ever was).
As he grew, Tajiri became obsessed with another hobby in his teenage years. The future developer became so interested in arcade games that he actually flunked out of high school due to his excessive habit of skipping class to play games. This obviously worried his parents, but Tajiri's interest in games clearly paid off in the end.
12 Team Rocket's Gambling
Pokémon is well-known for a lot of things: ames, movies merchandise they have done it all, while attempting to keep everything family-friendly.
It's kind of a shocker that they would let a player gamble and purchase Pokémon from a black market.
In the show, movies, and games, the protagonist is always a child. This includes Ash Ketchum, who at this point should be well into his 20s or 30s, but is still somehow an adolescent. In the first and third generations of the games, Team Rocket set up shop in Celadon City, and to cover up their presence, chose to hideout underneath a casino.
In this, the player (as a child in the game) can play on the slot machines and use their winnings to purchase Pokémon from Team Rocket's prize corner.
11 The Names Of Pokémon X And Y Were Predicted By A Fan
The series has usually given some pretty obvious names to the handheld series of games. It all started with Pokémon Red and Blue featuring Charizard and Blastoise, respectively. So what's next? Yellow, of course, featuring the better, chubbier version of Pikachu on the cover. The series did eventually break away from the color wheel, with one clever fan still able to predict the names of Pokémon X and Y five years in advance.
In Yahoo! Japan's questions section, one user asked what people thought the title of the next Pokémon installment would be called. With a seemingly sarcastic reply of Pokémon X/Y, a user by the name of deadevil2002 hit the nail on the head. The reply that followed was also a jab at the lackluster naming process for the series, dubbing it "Pokémon Left/Right."
10 The Legend of "Hey You, Pikachu"
In the early days of Pokémon, people fell in love with a cheeky, yellow mouse with a disdain for his Pokéball. After Sony revealed its first video game console — the PlayStation — Nintendo realized that it had a serious competitor on its hands. The N64 hosted a cast of great games including Hey You, Pikachu.
Hey You, Pikachu is a game in which you can give Pikachu commands through a microphone - or at least you were supposed to be able to.
The game is notoriously faulty for either failing to do the commands, or simply not registering them.
Pikachu had a tendency to make a frowny face when the command was misunderstood, leading fans to create an urban legend. The legend claims that if you say words like "Sony" or "PlayStation" to Pikachu through the microphone he will get mad and may throw a thunderbolt your way.
9 Pokémon Cancer rumors
Roly-poly sass machine Pikachu seems like a cute little chub-monster when he isn't knocking out the competition, but in battle, he's fast as lightning. It's this speed that inspired researchers at the Osaka Bioscience Institute to name a vision-aiding protein after the little, yellow mouse. Pikachurin is a protein used for transmitting electrical impulses, often to aid the tracking of objects.
Before Pikachurin, there was the Pokémon Gene (for a limited time only).
In 2005, Pier Paolo Pandolfi, a geneticist with the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, gave the cancer-causing gene "Zbtb7 the Pokemon Gene. This, unfortunately, led to a slew of headlines reading "Pokémon Causes Cancer" which angered the Pokémon USA branch. The company threatened with legal action and the name was changed.
8 Pokémon X And Y Had Ridiculous Name Restrictions
Understandably, Pokémon X and Y had restrictions to protect young Nintendo users from some of the horrific things people use as names in the overwhelmingly popular series. But they took things a little too far, preventing some real names from being used.
One example of a name that Nintendo would not let players use is Humphrey.
Although Humphrey is a fairly unfortunate name to begin with, but if it's a person's name they should be able to use it.
Fans could see why the name Humphrey could not be used, as it contains the word "hump" in it. But the game went as far as preventing users from naming their Nosepass... Nosepass. The case is the same with Froslass, since both names contain a strong euphemism for the rump region of a human being. The last, and most inexplicable example, is the name Connor. What exactly is wrong with Connor?
7 MissingNo. Was A Catchable Glitch
In the first generation of Pokémon, there was an actual catchable glitch. Technically speaking, MissingNo. is caused by a graphical error in the game, giving it the ability to appear in many ways. Some look like skeleton versions of the familiar Pokémon Aerodactyl and Kabutops, some like broken barcodes on a busted can of vegetables, and others that look like a ghost.
The glitch became so popular that magazines at the time started covering how to get the glitch to appear, despite warnings from Nintendo that stated the glitch may cause the player to have to restart their game to correct the graphical error. This glitch was unique in the fact that if the player captured it, it would replicate the item they had stored in the sixth slot of their bag, allowing players to duplicate valuable items like rare candies or Master Balls.
6 The Pikachu Voice Actress Hoax
Lots of popular franchises have become the focus of ridiculous death hoaxes. The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln, Pirates of the Caribbean's Johnny Depp, and Pokémon's Ikue Otani.
Yes, the voice of Pokémon's sweet little Pikachu was the victim of a death hoax.
Despite the franchise being an upbeat, family-friendly sort of affair, in 2010 word began to circulate on various social networking sites that voice actress Ikue Otani had died at the relatively young age of 44. Most posts did not feature a cited source, though some Reddit users noted her Wikipedia page had been updated with a death date.
Noticing that the news was not featured all over Japan's front newspaper pages, Kotaku reached out to the actress's agency, Mausu Promotion, in an attempt to confirm the rumors. Thankfully, a spokesperson with the agency denied the scary news, stating that Otani was "healthy" and "fine."
5 Episode AG101's Really Bad Timing
Pokémon has had some of its episodes canceled or banned for a multitude of reasons, including seizure-inducing episodes, inappropriate charged scenes, and terrorist attacks. So it is rare when a natural disaster brings an end to an episode before it has ever aired.
On October 23rd, 2004 a devastating 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck Japan, leaving 68 people dead and over 4,000 injured. Episode "AG101" had been set to debut the Pokemon Barboach on November 4th, 2004, but due to the sensitive issue, the episode was never shown.
The episode was going to feature moves such as earthquake, magnitude, and fissure — which obviously had the potential to be quite triggering for the victims. The creators instead moved the debut of Barboach to avoid sensitivity issues over the tragic event. Barboach instead made its first appearance in the episode titled "The Great Eight Fate".
4 Police Stopped The Pokémon Championship Attack
For the most part, Pokémon battles are a relatively peaceful affair. Trainers take good care of their Pokémon, who usually never die, and the injured are often guaranteed a speedy recovery thanks to the always capable Nurse Joy.
Real-life Pokémon card game tournaments aren't quite so amicable.
In 2015, James Austin Stumbo and Kevin Norton left Iowa for Boston to take participate in the Pokémon World Championship. The two men left a trail of terrifying social media posts in their wake, making jokes about how they were going to "kill" the competition and posting photos of their car with guns on the hood.
Hynes Convention security caught wind of the threats and notified authorities who gave the suspects an order to stay away from the competition. When they showed up anyway, they were quickly arrested.
3 You Might Have Made Raticate a Ghost
In the first generation of Pokémon when the player encounters their rival for the first time, he has a Raticate. The player successfully battles and wins against all of the rival's Pokémon - so far so normal.
The player later encounters the rival in Lavender Town when there is an open slot that is not in the roster. During the second battle, the rival chooses not to throw his final Pokéball, and the battle ends without the player ever fighting the final Pokémon.
The Radicate is not used, a rarity in the mechanics of a Pokémon battle.
When the player reaches the Pokémon Tower — which just so happens to be a cemetery — the rival can be found visiting the graveyard and tells the player, "Your Pokémon don't look dead." This seems to clearly indicate the player killed the Radicate in the first battle, explaining his peculiar absence in the second.
2 Ken Sugimori Had To Design All the original Pokémon solo
Dreaming up new species of battle-ready Pokémon seems like every little kid (and uber nerd's) dream job. Ken Sugimori may have something to say about that, as the artist had no choice but to design every last one of the original 151 Pokémon all on his own.
Sugimori became good friends with creator Satoshi Tajiri while working on the Game Freak magazine in the 1980s.
When the Pokemon franchise started to become a reality, it fell on Sugimori to design the little pocket monsters.
Flash-forward a couple decades and Sugimori was firmly positioned at the helm of a full-blown art team aiding in the creation of the now 802-Pokémon roster. Despite the much-needed help, Sugimori still makes it a point to personally approve each new creature's design.
1 Pokémon Almost Didn't Happen
While Satoshi Tajiri's parents worried about their son's school-skipping and obsession with games, it was in large part due to his father's financial support that Game Freak didn't sink during the development of the first generation of games. The reformed magazine company had lost five employees to ever-growing financial problems, but Tajiri showed his dedication to the project by giving up his salary to make sure Pokémon became a reality.
With Shiguru Miyamoto — the man behind the Legend of Zelda series — in his corner, Tajiri believed that through the connectivity of the Gameboy handheld system, the series could be a success. It would eventually come to sell over 279 million copies worldwide. Hopefully, Tajiri has a good salary now and paid back dear old dad.

yes, definately.
search for "inline fuse holder"
i like these kind.. https://goo.gl/images/GwPCTi
Does anyone fuse the AC side of power supplies? I searched but couldn't find anything. If the input side is fused, where and what do I search for? "Ac fuse" pulls up fuses for air conditioners.
yes, definately.
search for "inline fuse holder"
i like these kind.. https://goo.gl/images/GwPCTi
No, I use waterproof transformers so no place to put them.
Waterproof inline fuse holder don't exist, except in the marine world, but then the cost may exceed the transformer. So I thought, I don't fuse all my laptop charger or other wall warts, why do I need to fuse the power supply.....I just make sure all the wiring on the primary side can handle the load until the circuit breaker can trip. No lightweight wiring on the primary side.
In Lights Therapy
I use a combination of the circuit breaker in my panel and GFI outlets to protect my PSUs. All of the cables going to my PSUs are 16A or 20A rated depending on the distance traveled and CB rating. My power strips have circuit breakers in them. I do not have separate fuses on the individual PSUs.
FYI: I HAVE popped a breaker due to a problem with a PSU, so it is a good idea to have some sort of protection in place. GFI has tripped due to water issues when I dont close a Power distribution box properly.
2019 - Just moved into a new home (yet another change of plans). Will be dim but not dark. Too much to do at the new place to leave time for a show.
Since a fuse is intended to "protect the wire", putting a fuse just in front of a power supply doesn't do what the fuse was meant to do.
The fuse/breaker at the supply panel is a definite. GFCI/GFCA at the outlet (and sometimes at the panel) are good to protect anyone from accidentally creating a ground path (a.k.a. - getting shocked.)
But at the power supply? We have never needed to do it.
Live, Laugh, Love.
My power supplies already have an internal fuse at the AC input.
Nah, better let the fosebox in your house do that part, that what its intended for
Alright! One less thing to worry about! Thanks guys!!

Defending their CCCAA Team Dual State Championship, the #1-seeded Cerritos College men's tennis team opened with a 5-2 win over #8-seeded Saddleback College on Tuesday. It was the second meeting this season between the two teams, with Cerritos posting a 5-0 win in their first encounter. The Falcons (16-2) have now advanced to the 2nd Round of the team dual playoffs, which will take place on the Cerritos College Tennis Courts next Tuesday.
With the match opening with doubles, the Falcons scored a quick pair of team points with 8-1 wins by their top two doubles teams. Freshman Arthur Toledo (Goliath Academy, FL) and sophomore Bruno Duarte (Centro Educacional Rogêdo, Brazil), who reached the finals of the South Coast Conference Tournament, posted the first team point of the day, while conference tournament champions, sophomore Jan Simon (Gymnasium Auf Der Karthause, Germany, Cypress College) and freshman Lucas Legrand (Marie, France) finished just a few minutes later.
The final doubles match went to a tiebreaker, as the duo of sophomores Tomas Bella (Colegio Mallinckrodt, Argentina/Cypress College) and Nico De La Pena (Downey HS) were unable to hold on to a pair of leads. Trailing 3-2 in the match, the Falcon duo posted three straight wins to take a 5-3 advantage. However, the Gaucho pair of Shayan Haddas Kaveh and Lucas Fortt fought back to win the next three games for a 6-5 lead. After the teams were tied, 8-8, they moved to a tiebreaker, where Bella and De La Pena recorded the first five points, with the winner being the first to reach 10 points. It was then a 6-6 tie until Saddleback recorded four of the last six points to pick up the team point.
But the Falcons took over once singles action got underway, as Toledo earned a 6-0, 6-2 win in the #1 position over Haddad Kaveh, with Legrand and Bella also recording straight set wins to clinch the team victory.

Train services at some MRT stations on the East-West Line will end up to half an hour earlier than usual from Feb 14 to end-August to facilitate rail works.
The works will take place between Tanah Merah and Pasir Ris stations, and between Joo Koon and Jurong East stations, from Sundays to Thursdays, except on the eve of public holidays.
In a statement yesterday, rail operator SMRT advised commuters who board trains after 11.15pm on the East-West Line to consider alternative transport arrangements, such as bus services, from Feb 14.
To plan their trips, they can go to http://journey.smrt.com.sg
The early closure is to give SMRT more time to replace timber sleepers - used to hold the tracks in place - with more durable concrete ones.
This is the second phase of the rail works on the East-West Line, on which 92,000 timber sleepers will be replaced by next year.
The first phase, affecting stations between Bugis and Tanah Merah, started in November last year. SMRT has completed 26 per cent of sleeper replacement works along the East-West Line. The final phase, affecting stations between Jurong East and Outram Park, should be completed by next year.
Sleeper replacement work on the North-South Line was completed in April last year.
Mr Roger Lim, SMRT's programme director for track and infrastructure, said: "As we intensify the level of track renewal work undertaken each day, we are making every effort to minimise inconvenience to commuters even as we ensure that train services run smoothly every day.
"Speed restrictions have been kept in check to ensure that the trains run smoothly and travelling time is minimally affected."
