With the prevalence of mass shootings and our fearful reactions to them come discussions as to what causes these shootings. When the El Paso shooter reference Call of Duty, a first person shooter (Romano), the recurrent blame on video games was brought up once again. Since violent video games have the player directly engage in reproducing violent behaviour, it isn't unfair to criticise these games of encouraging violent behaviour. However, not only is the causal link unclear (Fournis 2), but accusing video games prevents us from finding the root cause behind shootings. In fact, blaming violent video games for shootings not only hides the root cause and potential solutions, but also leads to censorship of a legitimate form of media. Due to the weak causal link between videogames and violence, and potential censorship of creative content, video games should not be censored.
In first person shooters such as Call of Duty, players directly engage in violence, having to shoot other players to win. Since violent video games lead to moral disengagement and increased aggression (Teng), it is unsurprising that video games are a common scapegoat after many shootings (Romano). However, a creative medium cannot be blamed for causing a systemic problem if a concrete causal link has not been established. Just as video games may be causing violence, being a creative medium they may as well be a projection of a deeper problem in American culture. Despite the correlations between violence and violent media, there are concerns when trying to control any form of media. Though reducing violent may reduce exposure to violent content, and thus violent behaviour, this reduction can also lead to some censorship and control of legitimate forms of media. Thus, the question of whether video games should be blamed and controlled is nuanced.
Firstly, although violent video games do tend to increase aggressive behaviour and decrease prosocial behaviour, there is no positive link between playing such video games and criminal behaviour. Instead, they can lead to a reduction in criminality, despite suggestions that mass murderers were influenced by video games. Such a reduction suggests the link between media and criminality is much more complex (Fournis). Because the links are complex and unclear, blaming video games is harmful to reducing violence. Being a scapegoat, blaming video games detracts from real, systemic issues. Per ethical rationalism, deliberately misleading ideas such as this are dishonest, and don't pass the categorical imperative. Being dishonest, such ideas prevent people from finding the root cause behind such violence (Fournis), instead avoiding more promising solutions such as gun control. Essentially, video games don't lead to more criminality, yet are blamed despite there being better solutions.
Secondly, blaming video games for causing violence detracts from their many benefits. Not are video games somewhat correlated with a decline in criminality (Fournis), but can even have many cognitive benefits (Barder). Furthermore, cooperation in multiplayer games can lead to cooperation in different circumstances, while reducing the effects of exposure to violence (Ewoldsen 279). Likewise, in spite of violent video games being demonised, they nonetheless have the goal of delighting players (Romano), which, by utilitarianism, is morally sound as it creates pleasure without harming anyone.
Finally, video games are a medium of creativity, which should not undergo censorship. Although early exposure to violent media does cause children to be desensitized, moral disengagement is reduced as players age. Additionally, with the help of adults, children and teenagers can reduce the tendency to disengage (Teng). As playing video games responsibly is possible, their existence can be morally sound. However, censoring video games, by sanctioning what content can be added to them, does violate the categorical imperative. Video games, being a creative medium, undergo the same moral treatment as other forms of media, protecting them from censorship. Additionally, Games are a unique medium for artists to express their ideas. Through their interactivity, games can express ideas unlike any other medium. Per virtue ethics, this makes video games virtuous, whether their content is violent or not. Also, violence in video games is not necessarily harmful. Video games can approach violence in a much more nuanced way (Romano), raising questions that other forms of media may not. In effect, video games can be consumed responsibly, and, being a creative medium, should not be censored.
In conclusion, in spite of legitimate concerns behind violent video games, such as a correlation with increased aggression, the lack of correlation with criminality, the potential benefits, and being a creative medium suggest video games should not be held responsible for shootings. Instead, using video games as a scapegoat hides systemic issues which are a bigger cause for concern, such as gun control. By better understanding the implications of media on violence and criminality, we can better establish whether they're problematic. Thus, we can focus on finding root causes and their solutions.

text: The investigation of complex diseases such as strokes, Alzheimer's disease, dementia or multiple sclerosis is only possible by considering the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Genetic examinations are carried out in cohort or case / control studies and require a particular know how and infrastructure in the following fields: Genetic Epidemiology, Epidemiology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics and Statistics, as well as a close cooperation with hospitals. The major aim of this research is to identify genetic determinants of neurological diseases as well as to examine their role in the development of a disease together with environmental, lifestyle and social factors. We assume that these results will enable us to better understand the pathogeny as well as to precisely define high risk groups in the future. Moreover this will path the way for individual prevention and therapy. Thereby genetic epidemiology has a leading role in the development of individualised medicine. The recent developments in biotechnology and bioinformatics have facilitated genome-wide association studies. In these studies millions of polymorphisms are determined and their association to diseases is systematically evaluated. The results of these studies have led to the identification of new reasons for Diabetes Mellitus or Macula Degeneration. As these studies have an enormous potential in discovering unknown reasons for the development of diseases, numerous universities of high reputation have established genetic-epidemiological research units and departments. The Institute of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and the Department of Neurology have already cooperated for years concerning genetic-epidemiological research with a particular stress on neurodegenerative and vascular age-associated cerebral changes. This research uses structural and personal resources of both units. This cooperation has already led to numerous high-ranking publications with a total impact factor of > 300 out of grants such as: FWF P13-180MED (R.Schmidt & H.Schmidt) - MRI White Matter Lesions: Genetics, Progression, Cognition; OeNB Jubiläumsfonds 7776 (H.Schmidt, F.Fazekas, R.Kleinert) - ApoE in Microangiopathy-Related Cerebral Damage; FWF P15440 (H.Schmidt) – Promoter Haplotype Dependent Expression of Angiotensinogen; FWF P20545-B05 (H.Schmidt, R.Schmidt, F.Fazekas) - Genetic Determinants of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease. Research Portal We are well prepared for the future of genome-wide association studies, which will be formative during the coming years.

Opening of 76 New Affordable Housing Units in Montréal
MONTRÉAL, Québec, September 8, 2005 — Modest- and low-income families, seniors and young mothers now have more options thanks to the construction of the Maison Saint-Étienne, the Coopérative d'habitation Prima Vera de la Petite-Patrie and the Appartements Augustine-Gonzalez of the Service d'intégration à la collectivité, three housing projects providing 76 new units on De la Roche Street and Christophe-Colomb Avenue, in Montréal.
This announcement was made today by the Honourable Pierre Pettigrew, Minister of Foreign Affairs and MP for Papineau, on behalf of the Honourable Joe Fontana, Minister of Labour and Housing, by Lise Thériault, Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities and MNA for Anjou, on behalf of Nathalie Normandeau, Minister of Municipal Affairs and the Regions, and by Cosmo Maciocia, City of Montréal Executive Committee member responsible for housing, social development and income security, on behalf of Gérald Tremblay, Mayor of Montréal. In addition to Lise Thériault and Cosmo Maciocia, Denise Larouche, Mayor of the Borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Monia Magri, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Coopérative d'habitation Prima Vera de la Petite-Patrie, André Lajeunesse, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Habitations Les II Volets, and Isabelle Plouffe, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Service d'intégration à la collectivité, were present at the opening ceremony.
The construction of the three housing projects, which required investments of more than $10 million, was completed thanks to the participation of public, private and community partners. The financial contributions for the development of these projects come to a total of $6,503,657.
In fact, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation contributed a sum of $2,645,576. The Government of Québec, for its part, through the Société d'habitation du Québec, granted a sum of $1,851,811, while the community provided an amount of $2,006,270, including $1,274,220 from the City of Montréal. The contribution from the community sector also includes a sum of $458,050 allocated to the Appartements Augustine-Gonzalez of the Service d'intégration à la collectivité by the Government of Canada, through the National Homelessness Initiative (NHI). The other costs are being assumed by the organizations, in particular through a mortgage loan secured by the Société d'habitation du Québec.
"Our investment in this project shows how committed the Government of Canada is to providing affordable housing to Canadians most in need," said Minister Pettigrew. "Housing is a priority for the Government of Canada, and we are pleased to work in cooperation with the Government of Quebec, the City of Montréal and community sector representatives to provide more people with better housing in their community."
"The financial support of the Government of Quebec for all these housing projects confirms our will to develop sustainable resources to meet the needs of low-income individuals. Such a commitment on the part of governments, the community and the private sector is an example of a successful partnership," said Minister Thériault.
"The development of these three social and community housing projects together on the same site is a fine sample of what the Solidarité 5 000 logements operation has provided for the Montréal community. In fact, these projects include housing for seniors, for families and also for groups with special needs, in this case, young single mothers. The residents of these projects will experience, on a daily basis, the social mix and solidarity that are at the heart of the City's actions for social and community housing development," said Cosmo Maciocia.
Denise Larouche, Mayor of the Borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, was visibly satisfied to see that, finally, individuals who had long been waiting for these housing units would now be able to live in a decent living environment. "I want to thank everyone who was involved in the completion of these projects, and I would like to pay special tribute to the community groups of La Petite-Patrie that work relentlessly to improve the living conditions of people who are waiting for housing units."
The development of these projects is part of the Government of Quebec's initiative to produce 18,600 social, community and private housing units for modest- and low-income households. This initiative is notably supported by federal funds made available under affordable housing agreements.
It should be recalled that an Affordable Housing Agreement was signed between Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Société d'habitation du Québec in 2001. It provides for a total contribution of $323.3 million to increase the supply of affordable housing in Quebec, with $161.65 million from the federal government, $104 million from the Quebec government and $57 million from the municipalities participating in the program.
Since the NHI was launched, the Government of Canada has invested more than $74 million in Quebec for no fewer than 675 activities and projects.
The three housing projects are part of the Solidarité 5 000 logements operation of the City of Montréal, which is aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing for low-income households.

Koopa Beach 2 is the second course of the Special Cup in Super Mario Kart. It was subsequently reused in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the first track in the Extra Special Cup and in Mario Kart DS as the first track in the Leaf Cup. It is set on a large sandbank in the middle of a blue sea. Its obstacles are deep patches of water and bouncing Cheep Cheeps.
Course Layout
The race starts in a small patch of sand surrounded by grass. Most of the ? Panels are on the straightaway after the first turn, and to the left of this straightaway behind a wall is a ramp, which can be reached with a Feather. The racers must drive through a large section of shallow water with many patches of deep water as well as Cheep Cheeps. There is a small patch of land amidst the water with a lone ? Panel on it.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
The course reappeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the first track in the Extra Special Cup. It uses the background from Shy Guy Beach, including the pirate ship. The Cheep Cheeps were removed from the track. Since there is no Feather item in this game, the small ramp in the middle area is unreachable. However, the ramp was not removed despite this; The player can still see it over the wall.
Mario Kart DS
Koopa Beach 2 reappears again in Mario Kart DS as the first course in the Leaf Cup. Though it is slightly longer, it is still one of the shortest tracks in the game. The island which originally had one Item Box on it is now bigger and has three of them. A bit of moss was removed near the finish line. It was never available in Wi-Fi play.
Official Descriptions
- Mario Kart DS Sites:
- "Watch out for the deep pools of water and rough sand as you cruise through the Koopa Beach 2 track. This is a short course, so there's no time to lose!"
- "The colour of the water in Koopa Beach 2 tells you how deep it is. Stay in the lighter-coloured shallow water and avoid the dark patches, otherwise you'll be wishing they fitted your kart with a propeller. A school of jumping fish must be avoided too if you're going to stay dry."

Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian, who is interested in an £80m takeover, was at Upton Park yesterday to watch the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa. He has asked Israeli multi-millionaire Eli Papouchado to help fund his move for the Hammers.
But Pardew delivered a passionate message to the fans
and vowed he will maintain the integrity of the club —
despite the fact his own job could be in doubt.
Pardew said: "I wanted to give a message to the fans
today that at the moment things are in flux.
"There could be a possible takeover or we could be with the same regime.
"What I want to say is that looking at the integrity and the history of this club, I will protect it. I will put up a wall against anybody coming in.
"But I can only protect it as manager of this club.
"The Trevor Brooking era right through to the Tony
Cottee era, and you could say to the Hayden Mullins or
Marlon Harewood era or Nigel Reo-Coker era of what we are now.
"We have always been about playing it in the right way and we have done it in a style that befits the history of this club and we should never lose it.
"Any club who goes through this situation should never lose sight of that. I will tell any new buyer this.
"I am glad the circus is over. Anybody who watches
us every week will know that the day affected us.
"I made a football decision today. The guys who
played at Liverpool did a fantastic job. I reminded
them at half-time that they were the players who had
got us here.
"But I am not worried. I am just looking at how great it will be to build this club with extra finance
because I like to think we have done a good job finding small gems quite close to home. But now we can
start looking worldwide.
"The two boys who have come in are the icing on the cake. But the cake has to taste nice in the first place.
"I am not going to lose faith with the guys who have got me here.
"The fans have told me this week they know I'm in an important position now in terms of looking after the club and I will do everything I can to do that.''
Pardew insists he has not spoken to Joorabchian but
he would like everything done quickly.

Hotel : Western Style (T.B.C)
Included Meals : Dinner
We will kick of the tour with an easy afternoon roll around the hills west of Takasaki. A good chance to test the bikes and test the legs still work after the flight. Hope so, you will need them at the best over the next week!
Monday 4 October, 2021
Today's ride : 9 am departure | 102km – 2400m
Hotel : Traditional Japanese
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
The first serious day on the bike, with a hilly course taking the riders deep into the Gunma mountains and the waiting onsen (Hot Spring) town of Kusatsu. A few climbs to keep the legs honest, but spectacular scenery and quiet roads should help take the riders minds off the elevation gain. A top first day.
Tuesday 5 October, 2021
Today's ride : 8am Departure | 130km – 2600m
Hotel : Western Style Lodge
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
Hopefully the legs got a good soak in the thermal hot springs, as today the riders will tackle the source of the thermals, the mighty Hors Categorie (HC) Mt. Shirane. Climbing straight out the roykan, the next 20km will take the riders up to 2100m as they twist their way up the slopes of the volcano. It will be worth it, and the views and the ensuing 30km descent into the outskirts of Nagano. The day does not end there, after lunch at a 1500year old Buddhist Temple, the riders will head up valley roads toward Hakuba. One last pinch will bring the riders into the Western Alps where the scenery is as incredible as the roads.
Wednesday 6 October, 2021
Today's ride : 9am Departure | 98km – 3200m
Hotel : Western Style Lodge
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
We are in Hakuba for two nights, so today ARJ heads on a loop deep into the mountains. Japan is famous for its super smooth highways, but today we uncover the lesser used roads and trace a course through the hills where cyclists rarely go. Expect some surprises on route and it certainly would not be ARJ without a hills or two.
Thursday 7 October, 2021
Today's ride : 7 am departure | 135km – 3600m
Hotel : Western Style Hotel
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
Matsumoto is a ancient castle town and will be our overnight stop, however getting there will not be easy. Another very hilly day as we make our way south. Several short climbs early on to warm up the legs before the final HC climb up to the 2200m Utsukushigahara.
Friday 8 October, 2021
Today's ride : 8 am departure | 65km – 1800m
Hotel : Japanese Lodge
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
After a few big days, the riders can enjoy a later start and a shorter course. However, do not be fooled by the distance, as there are some real surprises in store for this short, sharp day over up and over the beautiful Venus Line and Kirigame Highland.
Climbing straight out of Matsumoto, the riders face the 4km / 15% average Route 283 climb, an old favorite of the ARJ course director. There will no doubt be complaints, as not only is it very steep, it is also rough hard pressed concrete, which sort of feels like pave. Fun indeed, but the riders will be rewarded with stunning views across the Venus Line and a fabulous location for the overnight stop at Lake Shirakaba.
Saturday 9 October, 2021
Today's ride : 8 am departure | 151km – 2600m
Hotel : Western Hotel
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
Today the riders head for the location of the final showdown, mighty Mt. Fuji. 150km on the agenda as we descend out of the central alps and down through the valley that separates Yatsugatake to the north and the southern alps to the south. The first 100kms are mostly downhill and undulating, but this is Japan, so a climb is never to far away.The biggest test for the legs will be the Motosu -Michi climb, an 8km climb that takes us up to the level of the Mt. Fuji lakes. The mountain itself reigns supreme as the group rolls along the magical lakes that make this region a treat for the eyes and for cycling.
Sunday 10 October, 2021
Today's ride : 7 am departure | 161km – 4500m
Hotel : Western Hotel
Included Meals : Breakfast & Dinner
The final day of Alps Route Japan is tough. With more than 750km in the legs and 16,000m of climbing, it is time to push the limits and dig deep to get to the end. This course is designed to test, and Alps Route is not the toughest cycling challenge in Japan for no reason. 160km and 4500m of climbing will push body and mind.The challenges that face are the the two climbs up Mt. Fuji. Yes, TWO. After an undulating 60km, the riders will face the first test, the mighty Mt. Fuji Skyline Road. Starting at an elevation of 500m, it is 30km of climbing to the dizzying 5th Station at more than 2300m. Absolutely unrelenting and the legs will certainly feel the work of the previous week.A nice fast decent, brings the riders to what can only be described as torture, the dreaded and infamous Mt. Fuji Azami Line. 12km at an average of 12% gradient. This is where it all matters and the mind needs to be strong. Get to the 2300m top of this and enjoy the feeling of beating Mt. Fuji and Alps Route Japan.We descend off the hill and make the final 30km roll to the accommodation and the awaiting beers and bbq to put an end to sensational week on the bike and in Japan.
Monday 11 October, 2021

These days it really helps that the days are getting longer, sunnier, and warmer, and the world around us is slowly waking up. There's nothing quite like the feeling of turning your face into the sun after a long chilly winter—this one especially. This spring in particular many of us find ourselves at loose ends, having to make the best of unexpectedly empty schedules and keep ourselves occupied with something—anything—more productive, fulfilling, and engaging than checking the news every ten minutes …
Cooking, baking, sewing, knitting—these are the kinds of activities that have appeal when we're stuck at home and tired of technology. And openwork knitting is a wonderful way to welcome the spring. Lace stitches come in infinite flavors, including happy seasonal patterns like buds, flowers, and leaves. Light, silky yarns and breezy lace garments are as comfortable to work as they will be to wear, and filled with all the promise of a fresh start and a new day…something we all look forward to this year.
LACE KNITTING by Denise Samson (the knit designer who also wrote the popular PONCHOS TO KNIT and THE CABLE KNITTER'S GUIDE) is the resource recommended by TSB Craft Editor Kim Cook for those looking to explore openwork techniques with their knitting needles. Featuring a fascinating introduction to the history of lace knitting and the fundamentals of choosing tools and materials, readers are then treated to a beautifully rich "stitch dictionary": 40 individual lace patterns, from the deceptively simple to the beautifully intricate, presented with clear, easy-to-read charts, and swatches photographed in full color and high quality, so you can see exactly how each stitch represented on the chart looks when it's worked for real. In addition, there are 30 designs for garments, accessories, and furnishings.
We'd love to hear how you are being creative these days and the projects you're embarking on this spring! Stay in touch, and stay well.
LACE KNITTING is available from the TSB online bookstore, where shipping in the US is FREE.

Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). The exact cause of hyperuricemia sometimes isn't known, although inherited factors (genes) seem to play a role.
Uric acid may form crystals that build up in the joints. This causes the pain and other symptoms.
Gout can seem to flare up without specific cause. Or it can be brought on by:
- Certain conditions related to diet and body weight, such as being overweight, eating a diet rich in meat and seafood (high-purine foods), and drinking too much alcohol.
- Medicines that may increase uric acid concentration, such as regular use of aspirin or niacin or using medicines that reduce the amount of salt and water in the body (diuretics).
- Major illness or certain medical conditions, such as rapid weight loss or high blood pressure.
- Surgery.
- Having been born with a rare condition that causes high blood uric acid levels. People with Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome have a partial or complete deficiency in an enzyme that helps to control uric acid levels.
