For your reading pleasure, a summary of The Gospels.
Matthew: Matthew's Gospel provides the vital link between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew begins by tracing the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph; the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary; the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist; and Satan's temptation of Jesus while in the wilderness. Jesus speaks more in Matthew than in the other Gospels, and his teachings discourses include: the Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7); sending out the Twelve (chapter 10); parables of the kingdom (chapter 13); fellowship of the kingdom (chapter 18); and the Olivet Discourse concerning the future (chapters 24-25). During Jesus' final week his betrayal, trial, crucifixion, burial and resurrection take place. Matthew concludes with the call of the Great Commission to all believers.
Key Words: "fulfillment"; Kingdom of Heaven". Matthew quotes from many books of the Old Testament to solidify further the claim that indeed Jesus is the "fulfillment" of the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. The term "kingdom of heaven" is used repeatedly by Matthew to introduce the Good News that God is present in Jesus Christ and lives to reign in men's lives. This term appears nowhere else in the New Testament.
Themes: Jesus came to save both the Jews and the Gentiles. There is one true God, but with the essence of 3, the Trinity: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. The standards of God are high, but the example He gave us is perfect…Jesus. Christ is sufficient for whatever need we might have. The ways of God are infinitely higher than the ways of the world. Jesus willingly laid own His life to redeem a sinful world with His perfect and acceptable sacrifice.

Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion 26:1 – 27:56
Jesus' burial, resurrection and ascension 27:57 – 28:20
Mark: The Gospel according to Mark vividly portrays Jesus teachings, healing and ministering to the needs of others. Jesus is the perfect example and the perfect sacrifice for people of all time. His public ministry includes exhibits of his divine power over disease, nature, demons and even death. These miracles also reveal Jesus' compassion for a hurting world. However, opposition and hostility grow against Jesus from the chief priests, Pharisees and Sadducees. Finally, Jesus willingly allows his arrest and crucifixion to take place. But his resurrection seals the ultimate victory for all who trusts Him to save them.
Key Words: "servant"; "immediately". The ministry of Jesus Christ centers around His being a "servant" to all, giving His life as a ransom for many. Mark's Gospel uses the term "immediately" many times to emphasize the importance and urgency of believing in God's Son now!
Themes: Jesus is concerned about every aspect of our lives. Jesus' actions paralleled His words, and so must our if we hope to be a positive witness unto Him. Jesus' death on the cross paid the price for each of our sins if we will but turn to him with a repentant heart and trust Him as Savior. There is none so down and out that he can ever be beyond the extending arms of God's love. Even as Jesus came to serve us, so must we also serve others.

Luke: Luke begins by telling us about Jesus' parents; the birth of His cousin, John the Baptist; Mary and Joseph's journey tomBethlehem, where Jesus is born in a manager; and the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph. Jesus' public ministry reveals His perfect compassion and forgiveness through the Good Samaritan (chapter 10); the lost (prodigal) son (chapter 15); and the rich man and Lazarus (chapter 16). While many believe in Jesus' unprejudiced love that surpasses all human limits, many other challenge and oppose His claims. Jesus' followers are encouraged to count the cost of discipleship, while His enemies seek His death on the cross. Finally, Jesus is betrayed, tried, sentenced and crucified. But the grave cannot hold Him. His resurrection assures the continuation of His ministry to seek and save the lost (chapter 19:10). After appearing on a number of occasions to His disciples, His Holy Spirit is promised, and Christ ascends to the Father.
Key Words: "Jesus"; "Son of Man". As God incarnate, "Jesus" is often referred as the "Son of Man". The genealogy of Jesus through Joseph is detailed, as are many other specifics of His human characteristics and life.
Themes: Jesus understands our weaknesses, our temptations and our trials. Jesus came to save both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus came to save both the outcasts and the accepted. Jesus came to save both the poor and the rich. Jesus came to save both adults and children. Jesus came to save both men and women. Jesus came to save both the free and the oppressed. Jesus came to save each and every one of us!

John: While Luke presents Jesus as the "Son of Man," John presents Jesus in His deity as the "Son of God." Jesus' relationship to the Father is emphasized as he teaches, heals, prays and ministers. Miracles listed in John include: turning water to wine (2:1-11), feeding of the 5,000 (6:1-14), walking on water (6:16-21) and the raising of Lazarus (11:1-46). But in addition to being totally God, Jesus' humanity is shown by his being tired, hungry, thirsty and sorrowful. 7 times Jesus refers to Himself in "I Am" passages which clearly shown His claim to Godhood and the way to salvation. After Jesus' death and resurrection, great detail is given to appearances of The Lord before His ascension.
Keys Words: "Word"; "life"; "believe". Jesus is the pre-existent eternal "Word" who became a man. In order to gain eternal "life" one must "believe" upon the name of Jesus. Jesus, who always was with God and indeed is God.
Themes: God loves each of us so much that He gave up His Son so that anyone believing in Jesus shall not perish but shall have eternal life (chapter 3:16). Miracles are given not only to heal, but also as signs pointing to Jesus. God expects us to love not only him, but also our neighbors . Christ fully understands our hurts, He paid the supreme price to heal them. The Holy Spirit gives us an eternal peace which the world cannot manufacture or purchase.

24 August 2016
I returned to the rugged landscapes of the Madikwe Game Reserve bordering
Our one hour flight from
After a warm greeting we headed to our secluded chalet, surrounded by savage beauty. Five carefully-considered, freestanding villas embrace the lie of
the land with a palatial style that makes one feel like royalty! Tradition and eccentricity are tastefully united in an unbeatable ambience run by
seamless staff. Owner-run and managed by Rodney Steyn, a stickler for detail, whose personal service is the cornerstone of this bijou. Special touches
are the order of the day here!
The lodge's crowning glory is undoubtedly its active watering hole which is the ideal spot to settle in on a 'sofa safari'! Within two hours of touch down
we were visited by a parade of thirsty elephant at the popular spot! It was as though they remembered me from my previous visit - not impossible with
these mammals' memories!
The wild terrain is identified by a tapestry of landscape, from bushveld to peaks and plains, all within striking distance of one another. This malaria-free
sanctuary offers a kaleidoscope of wildlife, including three hundred bird species and an impressive Big Five population. We were privy to wild dog
and mating lion sightings, among other great game viewing!
Food is another focus at Jamala. Their award-winning chef, Nico Verster, is the reason for their 'Best Safari Cuisine in Africa 2014/2105' title. Our expectations were exceeded and evident on our belt buckles! Their shared areas are sociable and if you fancy some quiet time their library is beautiful!
Well deserving of its name, after two visits, I feel I'm qualified to say that Jamala is the ultimate place to explore this prolific reserve!

The credit sequence consists of a close-up of a piece of paper, upon which a figure is gradually painted. As the credits finish, the image of the painted figure slowly dissolves into an aerial view of the desert landscape. The two-dimensional brown painted figure changes to a grey colour, and then begins to interact with the undulating sandscape. When the figure finally disappears, the shadow of a biplane takes its place. The camera moves back to reveal the biplane flying over the sandscape. It has two passengers, whom we later find out are Almâsy and Katharine.
The soundtrack of the film's opening is equally complex. Before the credits even begin, we hear a percussive sound, which we can later locate in the film as the clatter of small vials of medicinal oils. In addition, we hear male voices chanting, a Hungarian folk song, non-diegetic orchestral music, and the diegetic sound of an aeroplane engine. These opening shots and sounds contain a wealth of associations, which we shall attempt to unravel.
We could argue that the rest of The English Patient simply elaborates and extends the elements of the mise-en-scène condensed in the credit sequence and opening shot. The painted figure is the same as the figures Katharine paints in the Cave of Swimmers. We can therefore suggest that this image derives from the scene in the Cave of Swimmers, and that Katharine is painting the figure. The Cave of Swimmers is important to Katharine because it is her tomb, the place where she dies at the end of the film.
The sand dunes and the painted figure momentarily superimposed over them are similar in shape. The similarity in shape creates the metaphor that the sands take on a human form. Heightened significance or implicit symbolism is therefore created through the superimposition (through cinematic elaboration, in Perkins's terms). This metaphor is relevant to Almâsy's first flashback scene. In the foreground of the shot, we see him sitting talking to a desert tribesman about how to locate the Cave of Swimmers. Almâsy is seen drawing the cave, and translates the tribesman's words - 'It is shaped like a woman's back'. But just before the tribesman gives this metaphorical description of the cave, a biplane lands in the background. The tribesman pauses, sees the plane, and then offers his description, which Almâsy then translates. A few shots later, we realize that Katharine and her husband are in the plane. The associations established in the film's opening, between Katharine and the Cave of Swimmers, is therefore strengthened at this moment in the film.
Furthermore, we can use the foreground-background heuristic to identify the significance of the play between foreground and background. The superimposition in the film's opening links the figure being painted by Katharine to the desert (more specifically, to the Cave of Swimmers, which can be identified because it resembles a woman's back) to the shadow of the biplane carrying Almâsy and Katharine. By the end of the film we realize that this image shows Almâsy flying away from the Cave of Swimmers after retrieving Katharine's body. Moments later the plane is shot down and Almâsy is badly burnt. Katharine is further linked to the painted figure and the Cave of Swimmers when Geoffrey describes her as being like a fish in that she loves water and can swim for hours.
The painted figure is significant in a further respect: Katharine's paintings mark the initiation of Almâsy and Katharine's love affair. When the two of them are stranded in the desert, Katharine offers Almâsy several of her paintings, to put in his copy of Herodotus' History, which serves as a scrapbook of his life. At first Almâsy politely refuses them. But by the next morning, he changes his mind and says he will be honoured to put them in his book.
The sounds in the credit sequence are equally significant, although not so straightforward to explain. The sound of the bottles of medicinal oils is located in the film at the moment when a tribesman attends to Almâsy's burns. He uses some of the oil to cover Almâsy's face. The Hungarian folk song is located in the moment when Katharine stays the night with Almâsy in his hotel room. In the morning he plays on a gramophone the folk song which, he says, was sung to him when he was a young boy.

I highly recommend people, especially those new to Android, watch the Androidology series of videos put out by Google themselves. In particular, part 2 does a great job of explaining how Android (and really Linux) is different then most people's OS experience.
Here's the link to part 2, "Application Lifecycle"
Bear in mind these videos are aimed at developers, but the gist of it is still applicable to everyone.
After watching the whole Androidology series, I decided to let the OS do its thing with killing/running apps and processes. I have a task killer installed only to kill unresponsive apps that the OS can't kill for whatever reason (which by the way, is a fault generally of the app's developer(s). Not the phone or OS). And the Android OS actually comes with it's own "Task Killer" for this purpose, I just prefer to have easy "one-tap" (or close to it) access to such things.
Here's the rest if you're interested (highly recommended. Especially if you're a dev) Videos | Android Developers

I'm back in Manila and for the past few days I have been busy preparing for echoing, aside from smoothing out some series of unexpected events in my life. Life is really a box of chocolates.
Anyway, apart from the pleasurable tour of The Hong Kong University Museum of Art and a Cantonese Primary School near Stanley, there are four paper presentations that I sat in during the last few days of the conference that I find relevant and interesting. These were presentations by Diane Mackenzie, Ross Todd, Dana Dukic and Pru Mitchell.
Dianne Mackenzie gave a workshop, actually, on managing web resources. Although I have a very good idea on how I would put together valued web resources for my students and teacher clients, her workshop is one where I can learn a lot from. And I did. She provided very useful sites to help both teachers and students.
In my case, I am more comfortable with blogs therefore, my desire to improve mine as well as the GS LRC's is very strong. To do this entails so much time and effort. At the back of my mind, I realized that we (Pinoy School Librarians) have not really experimented on the full potential of the Internet to improve library and information services. Our academic counterparts may have gone way ahead of us, but we have gone only as far as using a telescope in cyber space. We have not taken off , yet.
Pinoy School Librarians may be busy with ICT's and library automation, but to use ICT's to create, manage and share knowledge is still left to be desired. We're still hampered by traditional roles that somehow does not answer realistic needs of our clients in the school.
Ross Todd's research paper was very impressive. I used to just read him in SLJ. Last week, I was a witness to a current research he did with Carol Kuhlthau. He said that he will be visiting Manila sometime in March - April. I think he was refering to the CONSAL. Again, the premise that school librarians must be active participants in student learning was drummed up so well that I am inspired to replicate a similar research with in the context of the Philippine educational system. Ambitious! I know. But seriously, I still have to finish my MLIS. *wink*
Pru Mitchell from the Australian Association of School Librarians shared the standards that their organizations had drawn up. Two things caught my attention from their standards - one, they (Aussie Teacher Librarian)took the initiative to develop it before the ministry of Education did and two - the standards were all descriptors of what a an excellent school librarian must be. (I will post another entry on this since I have plenty to say about this topic)
And then, there was Dana Dukic research on the reading strategies of HK Primary grades students when choosing books for recreatory reading. The room was full! That only goes to show how READING remains to be an important skill that school librarians are concerned with. In her research, she mentioned the different strategies involved when reading print and electronic resources. Mothers, teachers and friends play a role in their strategy for choosing recreatory reading materials. The knowledge of literary genre also scores a high percentage.
I have to agree with the research recommendation that for primary grades students to build on more sophisticated reading strategies, Information Literacy Skills Programs must be strengthened. Again, I will post another entry on this so I suggest you visit more often.
Till next post!

As someone who works with existing footage, witnessing the creation of 'original' material was one of most enlightening and frustrating experiences of my professional life. Working on the set of a Martin Scorsese "Shutter Island" film changed and challenged my notions of the phrase "big budget" and the resulting power dynamic between the studio system and the audience.
When the trailer for Shutter Island came out, I was intrigued. Then it was remixed and I was vindicated…the production wheel of participatory culture has come full circle! Sort of.
Here is Playboy's remix of the Shutter Island trailer. Yes, Playboy is now making mash-ups and, in this example, illustrating that women are criminally insane and men are passive victims of their CRAZY pursuit to be their wives.
On one hand, I think this is funny. Those hetero women ARE crazy for wanting to be a wife and mother SO badly that they'll compete against each other in what seems to be a small scale Miss America contest to be the chosen girlfriend. On the other hand, aren't we just criticizing these women for being players in the hetero game they've been encouraged to play since birth? A phrase predominately used by men to justifying their womanizing ways comes to mind: don't hate the player, hate the game.
Ultimately, this is a good lesson in cooptation. Here's the corporate cooptation of the mash-up/remix genre to perpetuate a stereotype in order to enhance a brand's identity. What kills me is that the brand's identity is patriarchy and essentially fucking over women.

ASTYM System at Release Physical Therapy
What is the ASTYM system?
The ASTYM system is an evidence-based rehabilitation process designed to effectively treat chronic tendon disorders, scar tissue and fibrosis. The goal of the ASTYM treatment is to stimulate the body's healing response, resulting in the resorption and remodeling of scar tissue and the regeneration of degenerative tendons. The effective therapy incorporated a customized program of stretching and exercise, which positively influences the alignment of the new collagen.
Benefits of the ASTYM system
The ASTYM system optimizes your ability to regain function and return to normal, active lifestyles. The system offers many benefits:
- Resolves tough, chronic conditions, even where other treatments have failed
- Rapidly resolves pain and increases functional ability to regain functional ability (in just 4-5 weeks)
- Delivers long-term results
- Encourages patients to stay active in their work, sport activity
- Offers positive and predictable results, supported by outcomes
- Evidence-based process that is supported by extensive research
Diagnoses that respond well to the ASTYM system:
~Post-surgical scarring ~Rotator cuff tendinopathy
~Post-traumatic scarring ~Plantar fasciopathy
~Lateral epicondylosis ~Chronic ankle sprains
~Medial epicondylosis ~Achilles tendinosis
~Carpal tunnel syndrome ~Shin splints
~DeQuervain's tenosynovitis ~Anterior knee pain
~Patellar Tendinosis ~Hamstring strains
~IT band syndrome ~Hip pain/trochanteric bursitis
~SI/low back pain ~Most chronic tendinopathies
How effective is the ASTYM system?
Clinical outcomes from across the country indicate that 88% of all patients treated with the ASTYM system achieve improved function and decreased pain; even if the condition is chronic and previous treatment has been unsuccessful.
What else should I know about the ASTYM system?
You should be informed that you will be receiving a treatment that will help stimulate a healing response rather than just treat your symptoms. You may experience some soreness and/or mild bruising following treatments initially; however, this rapidly improves as the healing progresses. You are expected to carry out simple stretching exercises at home, your compliance is essential for maximizing treatment results.

This 1899 image depicts how Santa Claus was perceived in America by the end of the ninteenth century.
Clement Moore wrote a much-loved poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas"—now known as "The Night Before Christmas"—on Christmas Eve, 1822.
A gift for his six children, it was the first time anyone described Saint Nicholas as fat and jolly. (Moore probably derived the description from other literary works referring to Dutch merchants in those terms.)
It wasn't the first time a reindeer was part of the Santa Claus story, though. That occurred a year earlier, in a poem called The Children's Friend. Expanding the number of reindeer from one to eight, Moore also gave them names.
About 40 years after A Visit From St. Nicholas was published, Thomas Nast used Moore's "fat and jolly" description to help create the familiar Santa Claus of today. As an illustrator for Harper's Weekly, Nast created numerous Christmas Drawings.
His most-famous depicts St. Nick with a rotund belly while his first, from 1863, shows Santa siding with the Union Army. That drawing, requested by President Lincoln, demoralized the Confederates.
Harper's Weekly published this print of a Thomas Nast engraving, circa 1889, entitled "Christmas Station." It features a sign on the chimney: "Santa Claus Stop Here Please."
Nast's engravings depict children calling, or mailing, their mounting requests to a Santa who tries to please. Instead of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children, we now have Saint Nicholas, the patron saint for children.
Clement Moore and Thomas Nast, particularly, helped to create that fundamental transition. One can only wonder what the real Saint Nicholas would make of his gift-giving legend today.
And ... one can only imagine what Dorey Walker would have said in Miracle on 34th Street had she known what you now know!

TPSA Dissemination
CHSJ organised a two day workshop on 'Universal Access and Rational Therapy- A Dissemination Workshop of Tracing Pharmaceutical in South Asia (TPSA) Project in collaboration with CENTAD, AIDAN and University of Edinburgh on the 8th and 9th of April at India International Centre Annexe, New Delhi. The workshop served to share not just the findings of the study that CHSJ, in partnership with researchers from the University of Edinburgh has undertaken on 'Tracing the Use of Pharmaceuticals in South Asia, ' since the year 2006, but also provided a platform where stakeholders from varied backgrounds such as donors and international organizations, government and regulatory body representatives, civil society organizations and networks, activists and academicians could come together and share crucial insights and perspectives on the issues of universal access and rational therapy of drugs.
The first day began with a welcome address by Dr. Abhijit Das from CHSJ, followed by an introduction to the TPSA project by Prof. Roger Jeffery from the University of Edinburgh. The project has focused on three drugs, namely, oxytocin, rifampicin and fluoxetine. These drugs have a significant relationship to poverty, play important roles in key health areas and have broad implications for the MDGs. The session on 'Oxytocin Use in the Context of Maternal and Child Health' with speakers such as Prof. Patricia Jeffery from the University of Edinburgh and Dr. Sharad D. Iyengar from ARTH, Rajasthan brought to light the fact that an indiscriminate and unmonitored use of oxytocin is increasingly becoming a cause for maternal deaths and complications at the time of child birth. This has implications not just for the health of the mother and the child but also social and economic consequences. It is the woman who is often held responsible when a child is born still or is born with a disability. It was pointed out that the key policy dilemma today is how to balance the risk of oxytocin with the benefits of the drug. Dr. Saroj Pachauri from the Population Council drew attention to the fact that it is imperative for policy makers to interact with people who work at the ground level. The session on Mental Illness and Rational Therapy, with speakers such as Prof. Allyson Pollock and Dr. Stefan Ecks from University of Edinburgh and. Dr. K.S. Jacob from Christian Medical College, Vellore brought to light the fact that the problem with the drugs used to cure depression, especially with fluoxetine, is its sheer proliferation and its misuse. In recent times, a drug like fluoxetine which may be available without prescription even with a village pharmacist, is being used for problems which may not even be related to depression. It was also pointed out that not all kinds of depression is a disease. The session on 'Rifampicin in the Context of Treatment and Control of TB' with speakers as Dr. Ian Harper from the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Anurag Bhargava from Jan Swasthya Sahayog and Dr. Sunil Kaul from the ANT discussed the various perceptions related to the RNTCP vis-a vis private health care for tuberculosis. The general conclusion was that the DOTS programme must become more flexible and patient- friendly so that problems of access to TB treatment and anti TB drugs can be tackled and increasing incidence of MDR TB can be avoided.
The second day had as its theme, 'Rational Therapy and Universal Access'. Dr. Zafarullah Chowdhury from Gonoshasthaya Kendra, Bangladesh who delivered the keynote address pointed out that there is increased emphasis on the 'medicalisation' of health care. As long as profit remains the driving force, universal access will be a problem. The discussion on IPR issues pointed out that patents can be a serious threat to access of medicines and that different stakeholders need to come together to raise their voices against patents. The session on regulations pointed towards a need for a greater regulation in the field of clinical trials, use and pricing of drugs. It was pointed out the government should play a role not just in regulation but also in providing support. There was also a discussion on the various means of promotional practices used by pharma companies and the implications it has for the cost and rational use of medicines. Related to the issue of cost and access to drugs was the issue of production of drugs. It was pointed out that most drugs in India are supplied by the Small Scale Industries (SSIs) but the quality parameters pushed by the government are increasingly being seen as a threat to the SSIs.
At the end of the two-day workshop there was a consensus among all the participants that there is a need for all stake holders to converge in order to advocate and influence policy decisions on universal access and rational therapy in India.

"Who am I"?: The many faces of women's identity in Victorian Literature.
This a really interesting excerpt from an essay by Bronteana reader, and fellow Bronte-scholarling, mysticgypsy. She compares several answers to the question 'who am I' as a woman in Victorian literature, two of which are from Bronte heroines:
I am my beloved: Catherine Linton (Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights)For Catherine, who she is as an individual depends on how much she is a part of her soulmate, Heathcliff. As long as she was free to be with Heathcliff, she could be herself, but the moment she goes against her nature, i.e. try to "better" her self by marrying Linton, and thereby breaking her relationship with Heathcliff, she loses a part of herself. After her marriage to Linton, Cathy takes on another persona. She is no longer the girl who would roam wild and free in the moors. Instead, she is confined to the suffocating gradure and Victorian sense of propriety in Thruschcross Grange. Cathy even acknowledges to Nelly that she and Heathcliff were one when she says "I am Heathcliff". Hence, in this case, the woman takes the identity of her beloved.
I am his equal: Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre)For Jane, her identity as an intelligent, independent woman is resolved through ties with Edward Rochester, her imposing employer and master of Thornfield. Although Jane does seek her own independence (and thereby her identity as a single woman), in the end, she finds she does need Rochester to be complete. Firstly, there is the telepathic relationship that she shared with Rochester, which I believe was a strong indicator (from the author) that as long as that supernatural connection was there between Jane and Rochester, they could not be entirely happy without each other. They needed each other to be whole because they were "equals" and complemented each other. Jane needed Rochester during moments of her insecurity (when Rochester was more controlling of her), and by the end of the story Rochester needed Jane when he was (phsycially) found wanting (thus Jane controls Rochester). This kind of relationship is differnet from that of Cathy and Heathcliff in that this is a relationship of equals, where only each will do for the other, but each keeps their own identies. Jane is NOT Rochester in the manner as Cathy affirms she IS Heathcliff.
The rest of the post (although not the rest of the essay) can be found here.

You have created your virtual data resource and followed all the instructions given in our Salesforce Sales Cloud - Events / Polling and Why Would a Polling Job Fail to Return Events and still, somehow the polling for Salesforce Sales Cloud using virtual data resources is not working. Rest assured that we have seen this issue before, and we will show here all the steps you need to take in order to make sure you overcome this setback.
When you create a new instance of Salesforce with a polling configuration, one of the required fields is "Object to Monitor for Changes", essentially that is the object that we will be monitoring when a record for that Object is created, updated or deleted (i.e. Contacts, Accounts, etc...). What you may not see right away, is that an Event Poller URL is automatically generated after the instance is created and an"Object to Monitor for Changes" is provided, and this URL requires that the virtual data resource yield to some key properties in order for it to work properly with our polling engine. Here is what the Event Poller URL looks like - you can check that out by going into the instance of Salesforce Sales Cloud you have created, and scrolling down to Event Poller URL.
So let us give you a little bit more background on why the Event Poller URL is important and relevant here:
1. It sets the default value of the yielding property, in the case of Salesforce Sales Cloud, the "LastModifiedDate" property.
2. It requires deleted records to be included, hence the need to yield to the "IsDeleted" property.
3. And last, but just as important, it requires the created property to be included, so Salesforce recognizes a newly created record.
But enough said, here are the three required properties when creating a virtual data resource and using it for polling within the Salesforce Sales Cloud element:
- "CreatedDate"
- "LastModifiedDate"
- "isDeleted"
Once you have those 3 properties mapped within your virtual data resource as well as all the other properties you would like to have included, you should be able to use the virtual data resource in the polling configuration of your Salesforce Sales Cloud element.

Apple Valley man hospitalized after violent attack over gas pump
APPLE VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG.com) – An Apple Valley man was rushed to a local hospital after he was allegedly beaten by multiple men over a parking spot Wednesday afternoon.
It happened at about 3:30 pm, in the 76 gas station parking lot at 20920 Bear Valley Road in Apple Valley.
According to Anthony Delgado, his brother-in-law is the victim and he was severely beaten by three men over a parking space at a gas pump. "He was sucker punched while sitting in his car and when he fell out of the car he started to have a seizure and they were continuously hitting him on the head," said Delgado in a Victor Valley News Facebook post.
After the attack, all three suspects jumped into a white in color Penske moving truck and fled the location, northbound on Kiowa Road. A Sherriff's aviation unit responded and assisted ground deputies as they searched for the suspects and the truck. However, neither the suspects or the truck were located.
According to Delgado, his brother-in-law is conscious but having trouble with speech and could possibly have internal bleeding in his brain.
Delgado described the suspects as two Hispanic males and 1 black male. He also said the men had a young boy with them, possibly a son or relative.
Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage from the location as well as surrounding businesses.
"I'm begging this community to come together. Help our law enforcement out to put these men away. They are ruthless," stated the victim's wife, Alexandra Hyche.
Anyone with information on the assault or the suspect vehicle is urged to contact the Apple Valley sheriff's department at (760)956-5001.

Much has been made of Daniel Radcliffe's full-frontal appearance in Peter Shaffer's Equus, now on Broadway, but the glee with which teen girls and gay men were filled with when discussing the idea of seeing Radcliffe's man-spear was stamped out after a front-row patron illegally videotaped the scene in question. Upon seeing Radcliffe's seemingly unimpressive floppy bits, many smugly claimed over and over again on blogs across the Internet that the fantasy was way better than the reality.
And now we get into one of the most controversial and misunderstood issues of our time. I have always asserted that you cannot judge the size of a man's penis when it is flaccid!
But I was recently heartened to discover that Radcliife doesn't need the likes of me to defend his manhood. He so charmingly speaks of nudity and his naughty bits on an episode of Inside the Actors Studio. Watch:

We had a baby! This little guy came into the world on November 5th! His name is Adrian and he's perfect! Hard to beileve he will already be 6 months this week. Time flies!
In the midst of getting ready for baby and then having baby I have not spent as much time quilting over the past year, because I was doing other projects for Adrian's nursery. I would like to share his nursery with all of you before we get to quilting posts!
We decided that foxes would be his theme and we wanted to do a orange, blue, and grey color scheme. The tree and bird vinyls on the wall were purched on DesignedDesigner's Etsy page. I sewed the orange crib sheet as well as the grey chevron and orange crib skirt because I couldn't find one to purchase that matched my theme.
The mobile is made from these little foxes I made from felt and then gave Denyse Schmidt bellies.
The quilt hanging over the dresser was made for me by a member of my guild, and dear friend. The grey and white dresser I was lucky enough to find on Craigslist and it only needed a little bit of touch up and now it's perfect! The throw pillows I made to match the curtains.
The afgan on the ottoman and this adorable fox hat were crocheted by one of my good friends and mailed to me all the way from Oregon! I have a million photos of Adrian wearing this hat to go for walks around the block in his sling or stroller.
It's hard to get a good picture of the windows but the hidden tab black-out lined curtains I sewed myself. My biggest recommendation, if you choose to make your own curtains for your nursery is not to wait until your huge because it requires a lot of crawling around on the floor to work on something that big. At least I got them done though and they are so much better than anything I would have found in a store. I backed them with black out lining and they work like a charm.
I also made the banner for my baby shower and it was just to cute to throw out so I hung it up in the room. Amazing what you can do with some card stock and hemp!
This second mobile is made out of card stock, a wood quilting loop, yarn, and ribbon. The hardest part is tying the knots that keep the circles separate.
We also converted our sun room into a play room for Adrian. We bought a Ikea Kallax shelving unit and then we painted the doors the same color that we used on the accent wall in Adrian's room. I also sewed slip covers to put over the Drona cloth bins to make them match the room. I used a leftover Owl and tree limb vinyl from Adrian's room on the side of the unit.
I don't want to go into depth to far on these projects but if you see anything you would like to know more about just shoot me a message! As for quilting, I have completed a few small things over the last year that I will be sharing them over the next few posts and I even have a project or two in the works that I am excited to share. I am glad to be back in the saddle and I hope everyone will enjoy my upcoming posts!
*Edit 5/10/2015*
Now that we dropped the crib mattress to the lower setting I wanted to share a better picture of the crib skirt. I spent a lot of time working on the piping and making the pleats but you could not see any of that when the crib was in the highest position. I'm glad that now that the crib is down I get to show off these little details that I spent so much time on!

The US labor market continues to improve.
On Friday, we learned, the unemployment rate fell to 5.4% in April and nonfarm payrolls increased by 223,000. Both figures were basically in line with expectations.
But it was one often-overlooked metric in the April jobs report that continued reflect a deficiency in the economy.
Here's your Monday Scouting Report:
Top Stories
- The minor detail in the jobs report that means everything lately. Friday's jobs report indicated that average hourly earnings climbed by a measly 0.1% month-over-month in April, which was lower than the modest 0.2% expected by economists. This represents a 2.2% annual growth rate. Anemic wage growth has been one of the disappointing themes of the post-financial crisis recovery.
For DoubleLine's Jeff Gundlach, this means the Federal Reserve will likely keep interest rates lower for longer. "It's one of the best indicators of the Fed," Gundlach said during a presentation on Tuesday at the New York Yacht Club.
However, some economists believe we should look at the signal sent by the employment cost index, which showed a strong increase in Q1. From UBS's Drew Matus: "We are more inclined to believe the employment cost index as it accounts for incentive pay and workforce composition, both of which are increasingly important factors in the US economy. That series suggests a faster pace of wage growth. Since the start of the year, the growth of high wage jobs has outpaced the growth of low wage jobs."
Economic Calendar
- Job Openings & Labor Turnover Survey (Tues): From Credit Suisse: "Job openings rose strongly in February to 5.1M, driving the ratio of vacancies to unemployed workers sharply higher to 0.59, the highest level since November 2007. Measures of job turnover, which tend to lead wage acceleration, are elevated relative to recent years, and remain at levels consistent with a pickup in wage growth over the medium-term." Here's Nomura: "More labor market churn would be indicative of diminishing labor market slack and provide more confidence of sustained improvement in labor market performance. We will keep an eye on the measures within this report, as Fed Chair Yellen has noted their importance in gauging the health of the labor market."
- Retail Sales (Wed): Economists estimate retail sales climbed by 0.2% in April. Excluding autos and gas, sales are estimated to have increased by 0.6%. From BNP Paribas: "Unit auto sales fell considerably in the month, and we expect retail sales on autos to decline accordingly. Seasonally-adjusted gas prices suggest that spending at gasoline stations dropped as well. Still, with impressive income gains recently and prior months' savings from low gasoline prices, we expect households to have spent on other goods and services, boosting control group sales."
- Producer Price Index (Wed): Economists estimate PPI climbed by 0.1% month-over-month in April, while falling 0.8% on a year-over-year basis. Excluding food and energy, core PPI is estimated to have climbed by 0.1% and 1.1%, respectively. Here's Nomura: "A drop in wholesale energy prices in April should weigh on the overall producer price index. Moreover, the price indexes within business surveys have remained low."
- Initial Jobless Claims (Thurs): Economists estimate initial claims climbed to 270,000 from 265,000 a week ago. "Still-low claims spell labor market momentum that contrasts with the recent slowing in payroll growth," UBS's Sam Coffin said.
- Empire Manufacturing (Fri): Economists estimate this regional activity index improved to +5.0 from -1.19 in March. Here's Bank of America Merrill Lynch: "The New York manufacturing sector has slowed notably since last summer, but has remained resilient amid a plethora of shocks over the last half-year. Indeed, the 6-month moving average was 5.4 in April, reflecting modest growth. The stronger dollar will remain a headwind in the near term and lower oil prices are finally feeding into weaker investment, but broad consumer and business fundamentals are still in good shape. On net, we would expect the index to continue trending in low positive single-digit levels and occasionally dip into contraction territory."
- Industrial Production (Fri): Economists estimate production saw no growth in April as capacity utilization was unchanged at 78.4%. From Nomura: "Manufacturing surveys suggested that the manufacturing sector remained sluggish in April. ADP/Moody's reported (in its employment report) that manufacturing and goods employment declined in April. As such, we forecast a fall in production in manufacturing and mining sectors. We also expect to see a slight decline in utilities production in April, as weather was close to historical norm and there was likely less heating demand. We forecast that there was a slight uptick in vehicle production in April, but the declines in production in the other sectors mentioned above were likely larger."
- U. of Mich Sentiment (Fri): Economists estimate this index of sentiment improved to 96.4 in May from 95.9 in April. "Gasoline prices have risen in recent weeks, while equity market volatility has picked up as stock prices have declined," said Barclays economists, who look for a decline to 93.5. "Both factors suggest that sentiment may slip in May from the strong April reading."
Market Commentary
Q1 was supposed to be the quarter when earnings growth turned negative as low oil prices and a surging dollar put pressure on sales and profits.
But we learned something stunning this week. With 447, or 71%, of the S&P 500 companies reporting their Q1 results, it now appears earnings are on track to grow.
From Factset's John Butters: "The blended (combines actual results for companies that have reported and estimated results for companies yet to report) earnings growth for the S&P 500 increased to 0.1% this past week, which is above the year-over-year decline of 0.4% at the end of last week and the estimated year-over-year decline of 4.7% at the end of the first quarter (March 31). This week marks the first time since January in which earnings for the first quarter reflect a year-over-year increase."
The biggest upside surprises came from what was supposed to be the worst-performing industry: energy.
"The Energy sector has recorded the largest surprise percentage to date at 28.7%," Butters noted. "Since March 31, the Energy sector has also witnessed the third highest percentage point improvement in earnings growth at 7.9 percentage points (to -56.6% from -64.5%)."

UConn is wishing students, families, supporters and fans happy holidays through a funny video sent out today.
It starts with the national championship winning Coach Geno Auriemma knitting by the fireplace (yes, knitting) until Coach Kevin Ollie comes in and places the NCAA men's basketball championship trophy on the mantle.
From there, it's game on, with several national championship teams filling up that mantle.
The video includes cameos by Jonathan the Huskie mascot, who is filling out his New Year resolutions, complete with taking a perfect selfie; and the real Jonathan being adorable.

promotion 2.1.3
The Promotion tool is designed to make it easy and quick to deploy an application into production. Originally built for use with OpenBSD, it can be used on an *nix system by adjusting a few paths (in config.rb). To deploy or install an application you just need to copy a few files into place, right? Well, the folders need to be there first of course, oh and the permissions need to be set, and I guess we need the right users set up before file ownerships can be set correctly, which means we need groups before that ... ok, so there is more to it than copying a few files. There are also system-wide settings that may need to be modified to support an application, such as environment variables in /etc/profile, /etc/sudoers, startup scripts in /etc/rc.conf.local, and /var/cron/tabs/* cron jobs. Promotion does not modify these sensitive files, but it does say how to change them. Promotion handles all of this based on an XML deployment descriptor for each application, allowing rapid, reliable redeployment with a single line command (promote).

CORRECTION – I've been further investigating the claims about Chernobyl, and George Monboit's claims. It would appear some of the source I cited below have very little standing the scientific community. My mistake was to rush to print and not qualify my sources. It is an important lesson, not to accept evidence at face value and maintain a healthy scepticism and not let the facts fit the argument. No one is immune from that – even WtD!
In this I feel no embarrassment – indeed I hope it serves as testimony to the idea that scepticism is a wonderful thing.
Admitting mistakes is an important part of the learning process. I would rather acknowledge error then dig myself into an ideological hole.
On the question of nuclear energy itself, I don't think it can be ruled out. I've been reading extensively on the issue and I'd recommend a recent issue of New Scientist (Issue 2805 25 March 2011) as a good place to start.
Please see the following: http://www.monbiot.com/2011/04/04/evidence-meltdown/
George Monboit – reviled by deniers everywhere – has come out in defence of nuclear power, even though he has enormous reservations about the industry itself:
I despise and fear the nuclear industry as much as any other green: all experience hath shown that, in most countries, the companies running it are a corner-cutting bunch of scumbags, whose business originated as a by-product of nuclear weapons manufacture. But, sound as the roots of the anti-nuclear movement are, we cannot allow historical sentiment to shield us from the bigger picture. Even when nuclear power plants go horribly wrong, they do less damage to the planet and its people than coal-burning stations operating normally.
However he then goes on to repeat what is the worst meme spouted but pro-nuclear shills… that the actual death toll was tiny:
Coal, the most carbon-dense of fossil fuels, is the primary driver of manmade climate change. If its combustion is not curtailed, it could kill millions of times more people than nuclear power plants have done so far. Yes, I really do mean millions. The Chernobyl meltdown was hideous and traumatic. The official death toll so far appears to be 43: 28 workers in the initial few months and 15 civilians by 2005. Totally unacceptable, of course; but a tiny fraction of the deaths for which climate change – through its damage to the food supply, its contribution to the spread of infectious diseases and its degradation of the quality of life for many of the world's poorest people – is likely to be responsible.
Actually there is enormous controversy over the figures, and it is now acknowledged that the death toll is considerably higher.
How high is a matter of controversy.
Indeed, had George taken an extra five minutes research he would have seen even the most conservative estimates put the related deaths in the thousands. George may have been relaying on some of the Guardian's (the paper he writes for) own reporting which states that low figure based on a 2005 WHO report:
The nuclear disaster at Chernobyl almost 20 years ago has so far claimed fewer than 50 lives, according to a study by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN Development Programme and the World Health Organisation.
But about 4,000 people could eventually die from exposure to radiation released when a reactor caught fire in the Ukrainian forest and showered Europe with a plume of radioactive particles.
This is the same report Andrew Bolt has been waving around.
However, since 2005 further studies indicate that the death toll could be much larger. A 2006 Guardian article indicates the figure may be higher than the 50 plus:
Yesterday Belarus said that one-sixth of the country was still contaminated and the disaster had cost it $235bn (£131.5bn) so far. In a separate study, scientists said the health of the 200,000 people in Ukraine who took part in the cleanup had been badly affected. Across the region, hospitals said they were overwhelmed by people with thyroid cancers, children with genetic mutations and adolescents with radiation-linked illnesses.
But while five independent scientific studies in the last two weeks, including one by the Russia's academy of sciences, have estimated that between 30,000 and 250,000 people have died so far as a result of the disaster, yesterday the World Health Organisation maintained its figure that only 50 people died and that it expects perhaps 9,000 to die eventually from the accident
A more recent study (2010) indicates the death toll could be even higher. The reason for estimates where much lower was because the Soviets – remember them, the one party totalitarian dictatorship – lied about the impact of the explosion.
Now that the Soviet archives have been opened, it is suggested the death toll, mostly associated with the effects of radiation, could be closer to 1 million:
Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment was published by the New York Academy of Sciences.
It is authored by three noted scientists:
Russian biologist Dr. Alexey Yablokov, former environmental advisor to the Russian president;
Dr. Alexey Nesterenko, a biologist and ecologist in Belarus; and
Dr.Vassili Nesterenko, a physicist and at the time of the accident director of the Institute of Nuclear Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
Its editor is Dr. Janette Sherman, a physician and toxicologist long involved in studying the health impacts of radioactivity.
The book is solidly based — on health data, radiological surveys and scientific reports — some 5,000 in all.
It concludes that based on records now available, some 985,000 people died, mainly of cancer, as a result of the Chernobyl accident. That is between when the accident occurred in 1986 and 2004. More deaths, it projects, will follow.
The book explodes the claim of the International Atomic Energy Agency– still on its website that the expected death toll from the Chernobyl accident will be 4,000. The IAEA, the new book shows, is under-estimating, to the extreme, the casualties of Chernobyl…
…As to deaths, the list of countries and consequences begins with Belarus. "For the period 1900-2000 cancer mortality in Belarus increased 40%," it states, again based on medical data and illuminated by tables in the book. "The increase was a maximum in the most highly contaminated Gomel Province and lower in the less contaminated Brest and Mogilev provinces." They include childhood cancers, thyroid cancer, leukaemia and other cancers.
Considering health data of people in all nations impacted by the fallout, the "overall mortality for the period from April 1986 to the end of 2004 from the Chernobyl catastrophe was estimated as 985,000 additional deaths."
Further, "the concentrations" of some of the poisons, because they have radioactive half-lives ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 years, "will remain practically the same virtually forever."
The book also examines the impact on plants and animals. "Immediately after the catastrophe, the frequency of plant mutations in the contaminated territories increased sharply."
How can we judge the validity of this study? It is hard to say… the Wikipedia article gives a good summary of the controversy over the issue.
This recent Friends of the Earth article provides a summary of recent studies which put the death toll in the tens of thousands:
…Nuclear advocates frequently claim that the death toll from the April 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster was 30-60 deaths. They also claim, as the Uranium Information Centre (2004) does, that "there is no scientific evidence of any significant radiation-related health effects to most people exposed" to fallout from Chernobyl.
Such claims are ill-informed and/or misleading. It is widely acknowledged that it is difficult for epidemiological studies to demonstrate statistically-significant increases in cancers or other pathologies caused by Chernobyl fallout for various reasons such as the relatively high incidence of the diseases, the latency period of cancers, and limited data on disease incidence. However, difficulties in measuring impacts is no justification for trivialising or ignoring them…
…The estimated death toll rises further when populations beyond those three countries are included. For example, a study by Cardis et al (2006) reported in the International Journal of Cancer estimates 16,000 deaths. Dr Elisabeth Cardis (2006b), head of the IARC Radiation Group, said: "By 2065 (i.e. in the eighty years following the accident), predictions based on these models indicate that about 16,000 cases of thyroid cancer and 25,000 cases of other cancers may be expected due to radiation from the accident and that about 16,000 deaths from these cancers may occur."
Other studies estimate a still higher death toll. UK radiation scientists Dr Ian Fairlie and Dr David Sumner (2006) estimate 30,000 to 60,000 deaths. A 2006 report commissioned by Greenpeace estimates a death toll of about 93,000. According to Greenpeace (2006): "Our report involved 52 respected scientists and includes information never before published in English. It challenges the UN International Atomic Energy Agency Chernobyl Forum report, which predicted 4,000 additional deaths attributable to the accident as a gross simplification of the real breadth of human suffering. The new data, based on Belarus national cancer statistics, predicts approximately 270,000 cancers and 93,000 fatal cancer cases caused by Chernobyl. The report also concludes that on the basis of demographic data, during the last 15 years, 60,000 people have additionally died in Russia because of the Chernobyl accident,
The WHO report, which people such as Andrew Bolt and George Monboit cite is acknowledged to be flawed, as this New Scientist article notes:
…Zhanat Carr, a radiation scientist with the WHO in Geneva, says the 5000 deaths were omitted because the report was a "political communication tool". "Scientifically, it may not be the best approach," she admitted to New Scientist. She also accepts that the WHO estimates did not include predicted cancers outside Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The health impact in other countries will be "negligible", she says, adding that there is no epidemiological research showing otherwise. The WHO "has no reasons to deliberately mislead anyone", she insists. "WHO's position is independent, free from political issues, and based on scientific evidence of the highest quality." The IAEA refused to comment.
Fairlie and Sumner's accusations are backed by other experts. The IAEA/WHO report "misrepresents reality by significantly underestimating the number of cancer deaths", says Timothy Mousseau of the University of South Carolina in Columbia. A paper co-authored by Mousseau and published this week in Trends in Ecology and Evolution (DOI: 10.1016/j.tree.2006.01.008) points to studies suggesting that fallout from Chernobyl has already caused germline mutations in animals and plants.
Clearly the death toll of Chernobyl is considerably higher than the "fifty or so". Just like climate, it appears partisan politics drives people's perceptions and acceptance (or rejection) of the evidence.
Monboit makes the mistake of wanting nuclear to be perfectly safe to counter the impact of climate change. Indeed, I'd say it is own form of denial as he is earnestly hoping for a quick and easy "fix".
I admire Monboit writing, but I acknowledge he frequently "drops the ball" – witness is "disappointment" with climate scientists and his calls for Phil Jones to resign.
George – do your homework.
It took me all of 15 minutes to get an appreciation of the issue.
Given that you're paid to do this, take the time to get it right. I blog/write/research in my free time.
We all want the climate problem "solved".
But we need to take a hard look at the alternatives, and not place our hopes in wishful thinking that nuclear will be the panacea to "fix" the climate issue.

Hello TMians and readers,
First of all, a prosperous and Happy New Year to all of you. May this year bring all kinds of happiness and prosperity to you and your family. This year's new year issue is based on 'Science' and we dedicated to all the scientists who have changed the world for us.
I want to congratulate all the Nobel Prize Winners in the fields of Medicines, Physics, Chemistry. The ceremony of this prestigious prize happened a few months back in Sweden like always. In the field of Physics, one half of the prize was awarded to Rainer Weiss and another half jointly to Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Throne for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves. In Medicines, it was awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm. On the other side, for chemistry, Noble Prize was awarded to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution.
We also congratulate all the scientists and researchers at ISRO for the successful Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its forty-second flight. The launch carried 710 kg Cartosat-2 Series Remote Sensing Satellite along with 30 co-passenger satellites on 12th January from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota. This flight is officially designated as PSLV-C40. In the succeeding seven minutes, Cartosat-2 series satellite, INS-1C, and 28 customer satellites successfully separated from the PSLV in a predetermined sequence.
We also salute the effort of Government of Assam for the first draft launch of National Register of Citizenship this new year. This has been on the agenda of the newly formed state government in Assam. The Assam Accord 1971 has to be respected and the illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants has to be filtered out otherwise, the actual Assamese people will lose its existential value as this land always belongs to them. There is the second draft of NRC getting ready for the launch soon by the government. In the first launch, the NRC list proved to be a draft of the Big NRC draft, with 13.9 million cases remaining under scrutiny and names of only 19 million of the 32.9 million applicants passed the acid test.
We, at Thousand Miles severely denounce the attempt of Karni Sena against the movie Padmaavati directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali (for reason of protest against Karni Sena we won't call it as 'Padmaavat'). They have vandalised and destroyed public property and they went against the decision of Supreme Court which is a punishable offense by law. We request the state governments and the central government to take a stringent action against this fringe group.
Coming to the theme of our magazine's current issue, we have a good collection of articles based on Science. The interview with Prof. Bruce C. Berndt was put forwarded by GonitSora.com for us for this issue. We thank them for their support to this issue. We hope and expect you would go through our content and put forward your constructive criticism for us.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Classic must have boxing game for the NES!!!
This game is classic. A much have for any owner of a Nintendo Entertainment System. This game had great sound, was very colorful and eye popping, and had an excellent control style. It featured Mario as the referee and a lot of hilarious opponents. You had the password screen that featured Little Mac in his pink training suit and your trainer riding alongside on his bicycle. I don't know what his name was in the game, but in my house we always called him Carl Winslow from Family Matters. Haha. A lot of this game is just getting all the hints as to when and which way and how an opponent is going to punch you. A slight move of the arms or twitch of the eyebrows is all we're talkikng about here. If you don't get this down, you wont get very far in this game. Also having basic hand eye coordination is huge too. The opponents atart off ridiculously easy and progress to ridiculously hard. I always has a hard time with Bald Bull and Soda Popinki. Your timing has to be right on with these opponents, especially Bald Bull when he charges you. (Low punch at the last second right in the stomach). Every 3rd fight you'll get a password, (after the title bout). I've never earned my way all the way to Mr. Dream, Mike Tyson though I've used the code to get to him and I've never beat him. He is ridiculously hard to beat. He punches fast, he's hard to time, and one punch will take your ass out. It takes practice... This games title was changed from Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! to just Punch Out!! after the rape charges, and beating up his wife. Hard to beleive a guy like that was a sports start able to get sponsored in a video game at all. Was also before the scary idiotic tatoo he got on his face and before he would bite pieces of his opponents ear off. I'm sure that alone would have caused Nintendo not to even come close. I still think it's worth it to have the original version of this game. Any true collector would want the original. I've read that this game is quite fun with the Power Glove, though it doesn't work well with other games, but you have that going for you as well. This is a very fun classic vintage video game though, it's a lot of fun to play, every true gamer should play this game! What are you waiting for, pick on up today!
The Original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Due to a copyright issue, the latest versions of this game are featuring "Mr. Dream" instead of Mike Tyson. But to someone who grew up in the 80s when Tyson was in his prime, there's really no substitute for the original, is there? I have the other version too, and it just feels wrong, fighting a whited-up version of Tyson in the last match. If you still have your NES, and a tube TV, buy a copy of this, before they go up any more. The only way to have reaction time fast enough to beat Tyson/Mr. Dream is to have the original hardware. Otherwise, there's lag introduced by the modern TVs, not to mention some by the emulation platform.

Almost 5 stars
The memorise are flooding back to me when I play this game. I loved it then and still love it. The only tiny down side and I can't remember this if it happened when I was a kid is that the game gets stuck or freezes sometimes when I play. Not in the same place but different places which is really annoying but other then that, I can't say anything bad.

Takes me back
Crappy Graphics, simple sound, Mario as referee, boxer escalation from Glass Joe to Soda Popinsky (he ain't all about soda you know) to Mike Tyson... and who can forget the easy retiring German boxer Von Kaiser? Not to mention Piss on Honda..LOL PISTON HONDA because I drive a Toyota. So go ahead, beat Don Flamenco's gay Rose out of his mouth by slapping him silly with a left, right, left, right, left right, and he is done. He is so weak. But watchout, it gets harder.. Face King Hippo and Pop him once in his big mouth and then hit him endlessly on his band aid belly button until he falls straight back on his big rump for an easy 10 count knock out.. thanks Mario! Bald Bull, time his Bull Charge 3 times and he is also done like a roast turkey...And Mr. Sandman.. I forgot about him. You'd have to figure him out on your own, but darn, I remember hating Super Macho man. He is Egoistic and annoying with those surprising Hey Makers, time him! And he is all she wrote. So add all this experience to fight the Big One with Mike Tyson.. You'll need patience, good timing, quick reaction on the controllers, and great precision with your Hey Maker to bring Mike down 3 Times for a TKO. You'll never KO Mike, he'll always get up, just knock him down 3 times and you have mastered the game just like you did when you were 12 years old.

One of my Fave 5, even after 20 years!
Still a fave 5 for me, even after 20 years! It's one of the few reasons to get an NES console, as it is one of the few NES games that are not enhanced on SNES & it is also not on any other system. Graphics, although 8 bit, are on par with a SNES game! Sound is not quite as good as SNES, but close! Gameplay & animations in this game are better than any other NES & that is what make this game so addictive! Its game levels start off super easy & wind up super hard at the end, which are trademarks of NES/SNES games & this feature also allows any gamer to be apart of the fun! Mike Tyson even looks alot like himself, which I must say, no other NES game even comes close. You don't even have to be a boxing fan at all to enjoy it and maybe that's why its so popular among others! You'll have to battle fighters with super punches, combos, tricky punches, KO punches, & you'll have to beat them with only 5 punches(only 1 super punch) in your arsenal. It has sort of a Rocky feel to it, as you, Little Mac, are much, much smaller than the men you have to fight. Favorite games: 1. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2(Dreamcast) 2. Samurai Showdown 2(either Arcade and Neo Geo versions) 3. Sonic Adventures (Dreamcast) 4. Mortal Kombat Trilogy or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3(I haven't played this game in such a long time that I have forgotten the exact name; the one with all the characters on PS1) 5. Mike Tyson Punchout(the one with Mike in it) 6. Killer Instinct(SNES) 7. Ms. PacMan(Arcade, SNES & later) 8. Super Mario Allstars(SNES)/Super Mario 3(NES) 9. Super Mario World 10. Sonic & Knuckles(Sega) 11. Cruis'n USA(Arcade) 12. Tetris(SNES & later) Keys to beating Tyson: Get past the 1st round by quickly dodging his fast KO uppercuts & hitting him twice. After about 1:30, he will start to throw his med. speed jabs; dodge them & hit him twice as before. Strategy: you might decide to get him close & not knock him down in the first round; this will make it easier to TKO in the 2nd. In the 2nd, you want to dodge his med. jabs & hit him whenever he misses; use punches to try & get pink occasionally, as he is even more predictable when you are pink. DO NOT TRY THIS IN ROUND 1 & AGAINST ANY OTHER FIGHTER. He will throw a med. speed jab & two fast, not KO uppercuts; he does the same thing everytime you get pink in the 2nd. Dodge these, until you change back & tag him everytime he misses. Also, when he continually blinks his eyes, if you time the punch right, then you'll knock him down; if not, you will get a star & you must be ready to block. You can land a star either as he misses a jab or as you are tagging him after any 2nd uppercut. In the 3rd, his super unpredictability means that you'll have to be very good to make it out of this round; however, at the starting gate, when he goes down, & when you go down, he will IMEDIATELY throw a punch or series of punches. Dodge & tag him. If you get pink in the third round, don't panic; he'll do the same thing he did in round two; however, he is just way too unpredictable to use this as a tactic now! He also has this combo, which varies at times, that goes something like this: JAB, JAB, PAUSE, FAST UPPERCUTS(may use 1, 2, or 3 & either pause between them or speed up). To win, gain 5,000 pts. or TKO him. 4 times down & you're out! It takes way more speed and timing to beat Tyson than anyone else & if you don't have them, you don't have any chance to beat him, period. So practice & concentrate!
