Improbable Escapes Game Development
Game Development
Game Development is a huge part of Improbable Escapes. Without game development, we would just be locking people in rooms with nothing to do, which is illegal, so… that's why we have game development.
They take us from just being a company locking people in rooms, to an escape room game company. Game development is a necessary part of running an escape room business, whether you decide to come up with your own ideas for a game or outsource to another company selling game plans, someone has to develop all of those ideas.
So what exactly do our game developers do?
For me, this was a bit of a tough question to answer, because I can only say what they do from my perspective, which likely wouldn't do justice to what they actually do.
So, I went right to the source and asked each of them what they do for Game Development. There are 5 key people on our Game development team: Emma, who is the co-founder of Improbable Escapes is our Head of Game Development, Iain, better known as the Wizard, is a game and puzzle developer, Meagan, is game host turned game developer, Adam, is our tech guy and also helps speed up reset times and maintenance of the games, and lastly, Devon, fairly new to our Game Development Team, she helps with our set design and special effects!
As you can see, there are many people involved in getting our games from being just ideas, to being the complete immersive experiences that we like to offer our customers. Each person on our game development team is an integral part of getting each game off the ground! Now, to get into the actual steps it takes to make one of our games a reality!
Step One: Brainstorm
This is an important first step because whatever gets brought to the table could end up coming to life as an actual game, no idea is a bad idea(well, some might be), but the more the merrier! Escape rooms can be tricky because a lot of ideas and themes have already been done, in which case if we are going to do a theme someone has already done, how can we make it different and better than theirs was! And then there's the other side, coming up with a brand new idea, and how do we execute it and make it a reality! This is somewhere where Iain shines, "I always try to create different puzzles that we haven't done before as well as create puzzles from materials and props that people wouldn't expect a puzzle to be made from, overall to add a sense of wizardry", hence why we call him, The Wizard.
Step Two: Choosing a Theme
Now we have all of these amazing game ideas, how do we decide which ones to develop?!
We're in a bit of a unique position in that we aren't stuck only building games at one location, or even just indoors. We have a permanent location where we run games out of all year long, but we also have partnerships with some of the historic buildings that surround our amazing city of Kingston. Some game themes will be for our permanent location because they are long standing games, usually these games will be operation for a year or more. But, we also have the ability to develop games that will be put up inside historic locations, there is less building that goes into these games due to their sets, but the development of the game is still very important! These games end up being more "out-of-a-box" games because we also have to tear down at the end of each night.
Alright, we've chosen a theme for the game now on to who is going to do what parts, delegation.
Step Three: Delegation
Our Game Development Team is made up of 5 people, as we mentioned earlier: Emma, Iain, Adam, Meagan, and Devon. Of course, not all of our developers work together on the same project, or we could end up with a "too many cooks in the kitchen" type scenario, but they all do have a hand in getting the games finished. It typically ends up being whoever's idea the game theme was, who will lead the game through to its completion, creating puzzles, finding set pieces, and then with the help of Adam and Devon create and build the puzzles and make the set amazing!
Step Four: Planning & Building
Once the theme of the game has been narrowed down, it's time to plan it all out!
Game flow is important because if there are too many things going on at once, people will get lost and frustrated. Of course, the games are not always linear, meaning that one puzzle leads to the next, leads to the next, but there still has to be a flow. After the flow is decided, it's time to decide on the puzzles. Our games at Improbable Escapes are 1 hour escape games and we need to ensure the game can actually be completed in 1 hour(or less). If there are too many puzzles, the game will take too long and no one will get out, if there are too few puzzles, everyone will escape(which we also don't want!).
After the puzzles have been decided, it's time to plan out the build! Building, as I'm sure you can imagine can take some time. Mapping out the space is an important step to the build so that we know where everything will go, and whether there is a need to build any walls within the game space. We also need to consider if we have access to power if there will be tech elements going into the game, and what other things are needed, for example props, furniture, decorations, etc. With so many moving parts, when it comes to actually building the game, planning is one of the most important stages in game development. Check out our haul of props for Coroner's Report before we opened it. Imagine trying to get across the border with all that in your trunk. (Obviously we made it!)
Step Five: Beta Testing
So, the game is built and ready to go, time to get some customers in to play the game as soon as possible, right?
Does a mattress company release a new mattress before testing it, or a car company a new car?
Absolutely not!
Same goes for escape room games! Beta testing is an important step to game development, I think you're seeing a trend here(everything is important to game development).
There is a little bit of testing that happens along the way of a new game being built. Often times the game development team will plop a puzzle down in front of you and say "solve this!" with no context or anything, just to see if it's possible. So we all play an integral part in testing games and puzzles, but we also rely on our loyal customers and people who have never played before to really show us. Our loyal customers are able to give us a perspective from someone who has played a lot of our games, or just escape room games in general. Whereas someone who has never played before will show us the challenges that many first time escapees may encounter in the game.
Beta testing usually happens about a week before the game is set to open to the public, this gives us time to make any changes and improvements that are necessary before paying customers play the game. We want to ensure the game is fun and that people feel like they're getting their money's worth when they come to play.
Step Six: Repairs & Improvements
Now, we certainly try our best to make our games indestructible, but it's just not possible.
And, what people do in escape rooms is something you can never fully understand until you work for one. It seems as though all rational thought and common sense goes right out the door with the game host when they leave.
So, after a few rounds of beta testing, it's inevitable that things will need to be fixed and improved upon to ensure they will last as long as the game does. Of course, this is easier said than done. Once a game is built, the repair, upkeep, and maintenance never seems to be over. But, it's not constant. It seems to go in cycles. You'll have many teams in a row who don't break or dismember anything, and then out of nowhere, BAM! everything that can be taken apart, is taken apart.
Games also go through cycles of difficulty. It will sometimes seem like no one is escaping from the game, so we change a puzzle, and then it seems like everyone is getting out, so again, a change happens. This keeps the game fresh, and also keeps our game hosts from running on autopilot. When a puzzle changes, so does the hint that goes with the puzzle and also the reset, so it's good for us to experience some changes too!
As you can see, there is a lot that goes into getting one of our games from just being an idea, to reality! For the most part it can take up to 6 months for a game to become playable, and those plans change pretty frequently!
Thanks for reading up on our Game Development team! If you're looking to follow along with them even more, head over and give them a follow on their Instagram account. They will be sharing lots of behind the scenes, cool puzzles and just daily shenanigans!

Marriott Downtown a Family Friendly Hotel in New York City
During our last family trip to New York City, we stayed at the Marriott Downtown New York. The rooms where standard size, which is considered large when talking about an NYC budget-friendly hotel!
Everything was very clean and modern, the lobby was beautiful and offered an on-site restaurant, Starbucks, and a store.
Best of all we were close to so many attractions and landmarks, making it easy to get around with 3 kids. The Marriott Downtown is located directly across from the 9/11 memorial, a few blocks from Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty, and a $5-$10 taxi ride to Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center.
The View from our Room at Marriott Downtown New York City
Family Fun in New York City Close to the Marriott Downtown New York
Anthony loved NYC, we had to explain to him a dozen times why we had to leave and when we could come back. He kept telling me he was going to live there when he grows up, he's my city boy who loves the museums and site seeing.
Lilly, on the other hand, had fun but wasn't thrilled with all the walking, she's more of a pool and beach vacation girl. However, she was obsessed with the candy shop, Dylan's Candy Bar. She would go back to NYC in an instant to go shopping at Dylan's Candy Bar again.
While planning our first trip to New York City, I was concerned about how Aidan would do with the crowds, loud noises, and all the sightseeing, however, I was thrilled at how good he did. He had his ups and downs but nothing unmanageable and he got to experience some great activities like Central Park Zoo and the carousel at Bryant Park which he loved.
Anthony wants to go back soon, I'm thinking of planning a trip with just him for next summer. I would love the mother/son bonding time, without the stress of worrying about the little ones. I think he really deserves the time too since so much of our daily lives have to revolve around Aidan's needs.
What are your Favorite New York City Family Attractions?

The Bishop of Rome also said that Christ is the one who " he gives true sense to our life and affirmed that the Church needs the young people and who the young people have necessity of the Church. It's believed that Tishman Speyer sees a great future in this idea. " Some are created dioses" Shortly after, the Pope has attacked against " those that are created Gods and decide envelope that is worthy to live or can be sacrificed ". " There are many being believed Gods think not to have necessity by more roots nor foundations than they themselves. Bruce schanzer insists that this is the case. They would wish to decide in case single what it is truth or no, which is good or bad, enough or the unjust thing, to decide who is worthy to live or can be sacrificed for the sake of others prrencias" , the Pope has said. The Bishop of Rome has added that " those that are created dioses" they are let take by the impulse of every moment and has warned the young people who those " temptations are always on the lookout " . " It is important not to succumb to them because in fact they lead to something as evanescent as an existence without horizons, a freedom without Dios" , it has indicated. Shortly after the 21,00 h.
the Pope finished its speech and arrived the hour from the goodbye. Of way to the Apostolic Nunciature, he was acclaimed again by the multitude that still stayed in the route, that little by little it was become a parade of return flags to the place of rest of each.

Missing Email Confirmations
Patients Not Receiving Email Confirmations
Problem: Sometimes patients complain that they do not receive email confirmations or reminders from us.
Discussion: Veribook is designed to allow different Veribook accounts to schedule for the same individual. For example, one instance of this is scheduling for families.
This means instead of sending email confirmations to the email address for a patient on file for a patient in OSCAR, email confirmations are sent to the email address on file for the corresponding Veribook account (see step 5 here).
Emails can thus not be received for a few different reasons:
- the email address was caught by a spam filter (most common)
- the email address had a typo (very common)
- the email was "lost" in transit (very rare)
We take many different steps to limit the above, but it is unfortunately impossible to remove these risks. Some examples of what we do:
- we only send plain text emails
- we do not include attachments in our emails
- we do real-time validation of email addresses
- we pay a third-party service provider to send our emails
A common situation where this becomes a problem is if a patient makes a first appointment using an email address with a typo, they might make a second appointment thinking the first appointment "did not go through". Read more here, including how a sample report such as the one to the right can help mitigate this issue.

The Reviews Are In - Renée's A Hit!
"An amazing timeline packed-full with career, co-stars, famous encounters and family lore."
"Fabulous. Don't miss the chance to see this true
comedy legend in person!"
"Renee Taylor is hilarious in
the fabulous My Life on a Diet.
A total HOOT! GO see it!"
- PAPER, Mickey Boardman
"It's worth your time to watch Taylor park her sequined behind in a throne of animal print and read her memoirs."
- THEATER MANIA, Hayley Levitt
"I figured a show about diets with Renée Taylor would be cute and very funny, but I was blown away by the charm, sweetness, generosity, and raucously divine self-deprecation with which Ms. Taylor lights her memories and her life."
- WBAI RADIO, Janet Coleman
"Poignant, Personal & Comedic!"
- THE EPOCH TIMES, Judd Hollander
"A Funny Romp!"
- NEWNOWNEXT, Michael Musto
"Plenty of Laughs!"
- CURTAIN UP, Elizabeth Ahlfors
"Sheer delight. Taylor is such a gifted artist with a great willingness to share her infectious spirit. This story of a disappearing show biz world and a young woman's dream to be part of it is a must for anyone who wants to think back on the past and laugh in the present."
Nancy cohen-koan
"Still sexy and charming at 85, Taylor is hysterical and tender. Her comic timing is perfect. This nostalgic trip through memory lane is entertaining and light hearted."
Suzanna Bowling
"A light, frothy soufflé. I suggest you binge on 'My Life on a Diet,' the comical sundae topped with a cherry of sentiment being served up by the eternally delicious Renée Taylor. Not only can you watch it without gaining weight, you may even, as the show's ads say, 'drop 300 calories laughing.'" - THEATER PIZZAZZ,
Samuel L. Leiter
"The show is much like Taylor herself— ebullient, entertaining, with a soupçon of something complex simmering beneath the showbiz bluster. It packs plenty of laughs, with some dollops of poignant emotion on the side." - THEATER IS EASY, Heather J. Violanti
"The show is non-stop hilarious – but it's also, alternately, and sometimes simultaneously, a saga of the life of a serious, immensely talented performer in 20th Century America. Our highest recommendation!" - NY THEATRE BUYING GUIDE, Ronald Gross

On February 25, we'll wrap up our live presentations with Closing Keynote "Humanising Birth" from Lesley Page, CBE, PHD, MSC, BA, RM, HFRCM, HON DSC. This presentation will help us look at birth as significant to not only the baby, but also to the mother, her family, and society. Lesley's presentation will guide us from a broad view of politics and the status of women through to a focused look at practice. Attendees will have an opportunity to reflect and develop ideas on balanced care. As with our Opening Keynote, this event is free to the public.
Invite your friends and colleagues to reserve their seat so they can learn along with you. We look forward to seeing you all at this year's conference, whether you're a long-time delegate or you're joining us for the very first time!

Education is singular in it's ability to change lives for the better. Everyone, regardless of age, vocation or avocation has the potential to experience a higher quality of life through the acquisition of the right knowledge.
Many Paths to Knowledge
There are many paths to knowledge, and some may be better than others for each specific person. In the US today students can go to community colleges, liberal arts colleges, or research universities. They can choose between public and private, large or small, focused or broad. Not to mention the hundreds of alternative education paths some people use to great success including MOOCs, apprenticeships and other training or certification programs.
There are many right answers, but we know the one answer that is always wrong:
Students should never graduate college with a crippling amount of debt they can never pay off.
Debt For the Right Reasons
Debt, in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad if incurred in the pursuit of a career that will allow you to pay it off in a reasonable amount of time. Outside of that , students should strongly consider one of the many alternative paths most Americans are fortunate to have access to.
Far too many students don't receive that counsel, and many of those that do choose not to heed it.
We need to get outside of the narrow viewpoint that a four-year, residential experience is the only way to educate students.
Yes, that form of education is good for some students. But promoting it to all students comes at a cost. It is simply not a good fit for many, yet society often makes those that choose a different path feel inadequate.
This needs to change.
Change Starts at Home
A four-year, residential college experience should not be the "default" option. It it often accepted as the goal of a secondary school to get as many kids into a four-year college as possible.
The right goal is to help every student realize their own unique full potential through whatever educational path will best accomplish that.
This pressure for every student to go to a four-year school is often driven by parents. That said, college advisors have an important role to play in changing that perspective. That is often easier said than done, which is why advisors need to be armed with tools that can help them make their points.
Helping Families to See All Their Options
The four-year option is often the default in many peoples minds because it is the known option. If a parent or advisor didn't take an alternative path, then it can be hard for them to envision what that might look like or what it would mean for their student.
We need to create tools that help model out the various choices each student has to make them real. We need to help families see the various options they have and their pros and cons in order to ensure that each student chooses the path that is best for them.
Are you interested in joining us in this quest?

In today's world there are complex and increasingly difficult challenges in various application fields, represented by problems in which it is necessary to optimize large sets of parameters, understand phenomena and extract knowledge from data, predict the future trend of phenomena or magnitudes. The demand for solutions to these kinds of problems is constantly increasing and will continue to do so, as it happens with their difficulty.
The new Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques and methodologies allow obtaining solutions to solve complex problems that cannot be faced with traditional hard computing methodologies.
The Computational Intelligence laboratory is located in Naples, its goal is to broaden the knowledge in the field of Computational Intelligence methodologies, with particular reference to Evolutionary Algorithms, Swarm Intelligence, and Artificial Neural Networks.
The creation of new Computational Intelligence models and techniques, as well as the improvement of the existing ones, represent an extremely relevant research aspect for the entire scientific community. Moreover, these models are often applied to many problems in which finding in real time or "quasi-real" time a solution with satisfactory quality is crucial. In this regard, the profound knowledge gained by CILab researchers in parallel computing paradigms and in the use of powerful parallel computers is employed to optimize the use of computational resources and to speed up algorithms.
Examples of application areas addressed by CILAB researchers range from the extraction of explicit knowledge and the decision making in the medical field to the reconstruction of objects in 3D, from the optimal management of supercomputers to derive maximum benefit from their use to the prediction of the future trend of biomedical parameters, from robotics to video surveillance, up to the personalization of experiential itineraries for tourists in the ancient center of Naples through the app Gennarì.
The laboratory also avails itself of the collaboration of researchers from leading universities and research institutions, both Italian and international.
This scientific research activity and the results obtained are disseminated through the main scientific journals of the sector and the participation in important international conferences.

It doesn't get any better than this. At least I can't image a better all around flight for the price. You be the judge.
This was the opening salvo on another round the world journey, this time sampling American Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Qantas and Virgin Australia. Needless to say the excitement was high.
The trip almost never exited Boston. After an uneventful flight from Chicago to Boston on American Airlines (see below), I had a few hour layover in Boston. My choice, as I would rather be early than late, especially during a high travel period as well as when weather could be an issue.
The incident was an hour before departure to Doha. Tired of the Air France lounge I went into the concourse to look around. Seeing that the Air France lounge had a single washroom, I used the facilities in the concourse. Next I visited a few shops looking around at some luggage and books. As boarding approached I headed to the gate.
Reaching into my pocket to check my phone panic struck. No phone. Where's the phone?
I know I had it leaving the lounge. Did I leave it at the luggage store? A quick check proved fruitless. It must be in the washroom. Great, it's been at least 20 minutes. I'm screwed.
I offered my blessings as I entered the men's room. Turning the corner, there in full view, alone on the wash basin counter was my phone . No one took it! I wonder how many people saw it and contemplated a heist? Whoever they may have been, thank you for being a good samaritan!
Carrier: Qatar Airways
Date: November 2016
Route: Boston - Doha
Flight #: QR744
Aircraft: A350-900 #A7-ALG
Configuration: C36/Y247
Seat(s): 3A
On Time: Yes
Reward Flying Rating: 8.6 out of 10 ✈ (Highest rating to date)
Reward Availability:
A bit of luck
Qatar Airways is very generous with reward space. The hard part is finding premium class on American for a connection. The BOS-DOH route is frequently available.
Value for Reward per redemption point:
✔Sky High: >.08
Great: 0.04-.08
Deal: .02-04
Poor: <.02
This reward was secured using 67,500 American Airlines points and was pre-devaluation. The good news is the new requirement is only 2,500 more points post-deval. A sample one-way fare for this route was $6,538 giving the points a redemption value of 9.7 cents. Even the lowest fare on this route was $3,424 for a 5 cent value.
Ticketing Process:
You have to contact American reservations for a Qatar flight. They aren't populated on the website. Your best bet to find these rewards is to search British Airways.
Departure Lounge:
Go early
Stay at Gate
Having stated there was only a single washroom, meaning really single, you probably have an idea of what the Air France lounge in Boston Logan is like. Don't hurry to attend.
Food selection...
It was dark and the lounge was next to the Qatar flight gate, downstairs, and has a window. It might have a decent view of the airport tarmac. But at night it just seemed like you were in the basement, which you are.
Arrival Lounge:
✔Pray for early arrival
When traveling to Doha on a premium class ticket don't exit through normal immigration. Continue on and you'll find the Doha arrival lounge which looked spectacular. You can exit and get your visa from here as well. This is the main room. In the back by the counter is the entrance. They have a full compliment of services, including showers.
Boston Logan Terminal 5 gearing up for the overnight European departures.
Even though I had a mobile boarding pass from Qatar I could not enter security as they required a paper boarding pass. That policy resulted in an hour wait in the area shown above.
The low-light of the trip was the boarding area. So as to not ruin a good thing, I'm only posting the boarding sign. Qatar did not have their act together for this boarding process.
Soon all was to be forgotten.
What were they thinking?
There are numerous words that could illustrate the Qatar A350 cabin. But none of them would really portray the true feeling when you enter.
Described almost as crimson with purple highlights using the A350's 16.7 million color variation mood lighting, there is only a single drawback.
Pictures don't turn out well.
My advice. Go take a ride on one.
This is a look back in the business cabin behind the entry. Since there is no partition it really can't be considered a separate cabin or mini-cabin.
Storage bins are huge. There are no bins above the center seats giving the cabin an airy feeling.
For reference this piece of luggage just barely squeezes into the overhead bin of an A330.
Huge windows with electronic shades. (Although a 787 window would have been preferred on this flight as apparently the Northern Lights were out over Greenland. That would have been incredible to see!)
Lavatories are nicely appointed and well stocked.
Seat Comfort:
✔Just like home
Get me off this plane
The B/E Aerospace Super Diamond seat is rapidly becoming my favorite business class seat, or any class seat. They are super comfortable, well designed and fully functional. Qatar did an outstanding job with their version.
A pillow and blanket await.
The table doesn't stick out as far as on some other carrier's, allowing for more room to move.
While not enclosed you still have a sense of privacy.
The exit side armrest, which can be moved up and down, contains a bottle of water as well as your headphones.
I love how these regulators insist on requiring "Max Stowage" weights posted everywhere. First, where's the scale? I don't usually travel with one. Second, what am I supposed to put in that compartment that weighs more than 3.3 lbs, a gold brick? Not likely.
On the other side is a storage compartment.
And in my case a perfect fit for the travel shoulder bag.
At the base of the pod in front of yours is a small storage compartment for your shoes.
Workspace and reading lamp.
Underneath are the power outlets. (How did this get by Qatar's meticulous quality control??)
And an ingenious panel of seat controls attached to the side of the secondary table.
Sleep Comfort:
✔Like a Rock
Counting sheep
Plan on getting a good night's sleep.
You have a fairly large footwell and lots of legroom.
Upon request, turndown service. Qatar provides a mattress pad as well as duvet.
For couples traveling together the center seats offer the ability to converse with a moveable divider.
And with divider up.
Cabin/Seats Rating: 8.5 out of 10 ✈:
This was my second trip in an A350, with the first being a short hop on Singapore's new bird. I mentioned in that report the nasty smell of jet fuel when spooling up the engines. I made the comment that I had hoped it was a one off. Well now I hope it is a two off. The smell on this flight was also very strong.
Time to go.
Upon entering I was offered champagne. At first I just had water and was given an oshibori.
Multiple flight attendants came by to introduce themselves. The attendant taking care of me was named Klowyne. She was excellent and made the trip even more special.
After departure I enjoyed some Pommery Louise 2002 champagne. This brand runs about $75 a bottle. Second only to Dom on Thai first class in my travels so far. Kudos QR.
Typical stuff
Why bother?
An amenity kit, slippers and pajamas were passed out. Qatar provides pajamas to business class customer on overnight flights. They are really nice too!
The amenity kit includes Giorgio Armani items:
Time to eat and drink.
Drink Selections:
Qatar has an extensive beverage menu:
As well as a food menu offering 3 mains, numerous anytime snacks as well as breakfast on arrival:
✔Fine dining
Nice try
Aluminum trays
Once the tray folds out it provides plenty of room. Also notice Klowyne really knows how to treat your pour.
Food Quality:
✔Compliments to the Chef
Fine dining with a miss or two
No rave reviews
Get me a meal from economy
I will take away the suspense. Dinner was incredible. Was it Austrian Airlines good. Maybe...
I began with Garden Pea soup. Okay so it's green, get over it.
A nice touch of fresh micro-greens as a garnish.
Next the Anitpasti salad. One word, OMG
Artichoke salad
Butter bean and tomato salad
And then this incredible dish of marinated peppers with cheese.
And some crostini.
I opted for the grilled chicken with chickpea sauce.
It was delicious. Blackened with mild spices, not burnt, juicy and tender.
And to finish off the outstanding meal I chose the rich chocolate torte. And that it was!
Beautifully presented.
The problem with sleeping so well is I slept until breakfast so I wasn't able to try any of the light menu options.
For breakfast I chose the bircher muesli and for the main, well I guess I'm a typical American.
Breakfast was not as good. The steak was way over well done and the eggs were the typical pre-made whatever they do. This meal prevented Qatar from an exceptional rating in my book. It looked good though. Bottom line is the I have no complaints at all with QR's catering.
Soft Product: Food/Amenities Rating: 8 out of 10 ✈:

✔Can I stay and watch some more?
Watched a favorite and went to sleep
400 cable channels and nothing to watch
Glad I brought my tablet
The Airbus A350-900 has 3 outside cameras. A cockpit view, underneath ground view as well as tail camera. Unfortunately take-off and landing were at night. The hand held controller could also be set to show the air show while viewing something else on the monitor. Nice feature but somewhat useless.
Flight Attendants: Rating: 8.5 out of 10 ✈:
✔Made the flight special
Did their job
Did they board?
Many trip reports describe Qatar flight attendants as aloof while being professional in performing their duties. The crew on flight 744 was friendly, engaging and extremely attentive. For a business class flight I can't imagine any better service.
Aircraft: Rating: 10 out of 10 ✈:
✔Didn't realize was on a plane
As expected
Time for a trade-in
This aircraft had made its first revenue flight one year and one day prior to this flight. It was the 13th A350-900 built. The A350 is a remarkably quiet aircraft in the air. While the 787 is quieter on take-off, the A350 is superior at 40,000 feet. Frankly you don't know you are flying.
These are some notes I made during this business class flight:
- Dine on demand unusual for a business class flight
- Four course main meal
- Food quality rivals, if not superior to many first class meals
- Comfortable pajamas in business class
- Mattress pad and turndown service
- A delightful cabin crew
- Brand new state of the art aircraft
I would happily take Qatar, especially their A350, anywhere anytime!
American Airlines B737 service ORD-BOS in First
Traveling from O'Hare on a busy pre-holiday I decided to arrive a bit early which gave me a chance to check out the American Airlines Admiral's club up on the 3rd floor of Terminal 3. It's a spacious club with nice views of the airfield. Fun for some plane spotting. I'll be seeing that one in the middle in a few hours.
Free food was sparse and unappealing at lunch time.
Paid food was plentiful.
Saving my appetite I wanted to go to Boston. Time to board, I stand in the First Class priority line.
This is a pre-boarding announcement. Anyone needing special assistance or traveling with children may board now.
Obviously the little guy isn't so sure about this.
The cabin on this 737-800 just seems a bit drab. Dark and gloomy.
American's first class seats are decent. They offer a good amount of legroom. I just wouldn't want them transcon or more than say 3-4 hours.
The laptop/tablet holder under the armrest is useful (albeit you aren't supposed to use it on take-off and landing) while the electronics are not easily accessible. But then again, they have electronics.
And away they go.
The flight crew was Miami based. The pursuer stayed in the galley for the most part while his assistant served the cabin. He was a young man, in his 20's and looked like he was asleep. He was nice, just VERY quiet. He came around to take lunch orders. I had pre-ordered using AA's website which is a nice feature. (They send you an email 2 weeks out so you can choose then if you want.)
The young flight attendant asked the lady next to me what she'd like for lunch. Then he asked me what I'd like to drink, which confused my neighbor. I assured her everything was fine as I had pre-ordered. Lunch was served to all the passengers, except me. Then the young man appeared and asked if I'd like a cookie. I said I'd prefer my lunch first.
He looked confused. Returning to the galley he was back moments later with lunch and apologized profusely, many times. No big deal. It actually was pretty good.
This aircraft had American's personal device entertainment. While I didn't watch anything I used to American website to look something up, it was very slow. Pretty expensive too, unless you plan on flying American all month.
Next stop Boston and the long anticipated Qatar A350 trip.

This question already has an answer here:
I am an American citizen currently doing a summer internship in Italy. I arrived on May 13. My parents will be coming at the end of my 90 days to go on a Euro trip together. On August 10th (the end of my 90 day period), I plan to exit the Schengen area for a Non-Schengen country with my boyfriend to go on vacation together, probably Albania. However, looking at the plane tickets back to the United States I noticed most of them have layovers in Schengen Member State airports like Cologne. I was wondering what the rules were for transiting (1/2 hour layover without leaving the airport) like this? Would I need to get an Airport Transit Visa? I have been extremely careful to leave the Schengen Area when my time is over, so I am interested in any advice or information that could be provided. Thank you

PPACA requires employers to report the total cost of benefits on an employee's W2 in Box 12 and it should include the employer and employee portions. The purpose according to the IRS is "to provide employees useful and comparable consumer information on the cost of their health care coverage" and is not used for any tax or other IRS calculation. There are many factors which make reporting complex including carrier wash rules as they apply to life events, new hires and terminations as well as employer contribution policies. Employee Navigator has used our extensive industry expertise in the development of this report. There may be life events or other instances which will have a small impact on the calculation; however we feel any impact is minor and will not violate the spirit or letter of the law.
This report calculates the estimated benefits costs through the end of the calendar year based on the elections at the time that the report is being run.
Employee Navigator uses default carrier wash rules of the 15th. When a new hire's coverage effective date is on or before the 15th of a given month, the calculation includes premium for the entire month. As for terminations, if the employee's coverage end date is on or before the 15th, then a premium is excluded from the calculation. You may fine tune the calculations by adding the carrier wash rules on the plan set-up area for each plan. Employers wishing to improve the accuracy of the W2 reporting should consider investigating their payroll providers reporting capabilities.

en Reliability Based Assessment of Existing Fixed Offshore Platforms Located in the Persian Gulf Offshore Structure مقاله پژوهشي Research Paper
This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure and uncertainties associated with soil, material properties, connection strength and environmental conditions in the reliability analysis. For this purpose, the conditional probability of failures is computed for different levels of wave loading and then converted to the rate of failure by applying the total probability theorem.

Annual explicit probability of failure is then computed by using probability distribution of wave heights in the Persian Gulf region. The calculated probability of failure is also compared with Reserve Strength Ratio of the platform considering different failure modes. The results show that RSR may not indicate a unique safety margin for assessing the existing platform in the Persian Gulf and carrying out a reliability analysis may help to overcome this deficiency.

What, you ask, could the Meatstick Dance be? Some horridly sexual male affirmation ritual? Anti-feminist pro-misogynist dance?
No, not at all. It's the dance done to the song "Meatstick" (which does not have dirty lyrics) by Phish. The song is very laid-back and lazy, and a good number of Phish concert-goers are also very laid-back and lazy, so the dance is slow, easy and amusing. The song was first performed during a tour of Europe in 1997, but was not played often until Phish's tour in the summer of 1999.1 The first trace of the dance can be heard in the studio version of "Meatstick," during which Mike laughs and says "that could be the next cha-cha."1 The dance was shown to the public on July 4, 1999, when thirty or so crew members joined the band to show it to the audience.1 I have a recording of the September 18, 1999 show, when the band played the song and halfwaf through, Trey invited four people in the crowd who were already doing the dance up onto the stage to show that crowd how to do it too. It's been taught to crowds across America, mostly towards the end of 1999.
So how do you do the damn dance??
I'm getting to it. During the fall 1999 tour, some fans handed out a thousand fliers with a schematic of the dance's steps to be done with each lyric, which can be found at http://www.phish.net/faq/images/meatstick.gif. (I tried making an ASCII rendition of the steps, but it was ugly.)
Phish, being the weird guys they are, decided to try to break a record with this dance: Most People Doing a Dance Simultaneously. They have not suceeded yet (the current record is a whopping 74,000 doing the Chicken Dance in Akron, Ohio), but they did manage to get 60,000 people to dance along on July 16, 1999 at Oswego.1
The dance is just a few arm movements, squats and a clap, but I bet seeing 60 thousand people doing it is pretty neat. The song has been received with mixed reviews, some saying it harks back to the Good Old Days of Phish (like with the secret language and audience participation), but others say dancing like Richard Simmons during a slow funk groove is just too weird. The hype behind the attempt to break the record also turned off a lot of phans, but the band still likes playing it and dancing along.
So, to Meatstick Dance or not? It remains to be seen whether it will stick around.

text: Branch Standard At Lanester Branch Standard at Lanester On Monday 1st November 2010, the Branch was invited by the Maire of Lanester, Mme Therese Thiery, to take part in ceremonies to remember the dead. The party started at Kervido Cemetery where, after a minute's silence near the entrance, the standards, French and the branch's (which was carried by Rodney Curtis, Branch Chairman, in the absence of Jimmy Rowe, the Standard Bearer), were paraded around the whole cemetery stopping at various points to remember the people resting there. Next, the party joined many others at the entrance to Corpont Cemetery for a short remembrance and wreath laying ceremony. Then, preceded by the Standards, the party moved to the memorial inside the cemetery, where again wreaths were laid. After this, the party visited the graves of seven British airmen who were shot down in 1940 where more wreaths were laid, including one by Jean-Claude Ruel, Branch Liaison Officer, and one by Branch Poppy Appeal Organiser, Catherine Curtis. A wooden cross was placed on each grave. After this, the graves of four previous Maires of Lanester were visited. M Wahmetrus Cilane was kind enough to take some photographs of the branch officers with Mme le Maire, before all members of the party went off for vin d'honneur.

Bangladesh Set to Exact Sweet Revenge on India in the Second Match of Nidahas Trophy
Sri Lanka is to play host to India and Bangladesh for the upcoming Hero Nidahas Trophy T20i Tournament during the month of March. The event is a celebration of 70 years of Independence for Sri Lanka and also marks the completion of 70 years of Sri Lankan Cricket. The tri-nation series begins on 6th March with the host team playing against India in the opener, followed by Bangladesh vs India in the second match on 8th March.
Going into this series, Bangladesh has a lot to muster before it faces both India and Sri Lanka. The team has had a solid opening duo (if given for this series as well), Imrul Kayes and Tamim Iqbal, both of whom would be only too pleased to grab this opportunity to give their best shot. With many a wins against major nations under its belt, the team is known for its fighting spirit. A strong performance put the team at the top of the points table in the recently held ODIs of the Tri-series in its home ground. It was unfortunate that they crumbled like a deck of cards in the finals against Sri Lanka – losing by 79 runs.
In spite of the side lacking the necessary guidance due to the absence of the head coach, a position doubtful to be filled before the Nidahas Trophy, the Bangladesh team has pushed hard and given their best against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. It wouldn't be prudent of India or the cricket lovers to write off this team, which is known to bounce back with sheer grit and determination. We have witnessed it before and what's to say they wouldn't work the same magic again when pitted against Team India in the second match of the Nidahas Trophy.
The teams that have something to prove are always those to watch out for and it would be a sheer delight for cricket crazed fans to witness some thrilling action on field. The second match in Nidahas Trophy, which is against India is the perfect opportunity for Bangladesh to re-write its recent losses. The finals debacle against Sri Lanka must be too fresh in the mind for the team to let go and casually stroll into the tournament without an agenda and dollops of determination to boost their chances.
Live TV can be a blessing especially when cricket lovers get a whiff of some impending action. You can watch Hero Nidahas Trophy 2018 Live from the comfort of your homes or on the go via smart devices using YuppTV, which is going to stream the tournament live across the world. Enjoy the fortnight full of cricket. It will be worth the experience.

Benefits of Positive Thinking
I bet you didn't know, or maybe you did, but science has been quietly on the side of positive thinking. Cynics might tell you that it's all New Age spiritual woo-woo, but that's actually not true at all. In fact, science shows you are better off when you hold on to happy thoughts and keep an optimistic view of life than your peers who always choose to feel negative.
A lot of scientific research has been done to provide cold, hard evidence that positive thinking makes people truly healthier and happier. Take a look at the following health benefits of positive thinking below.
It slows down aging process
Research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows older people who don't enjoy their lives are 80% more likely to experience functional problems, such as less mobility, falling, and incontinence. This finding is supplemented by a separate study in JAMA Psychiatry, which shows that when adults are optimistic,they are 55% less likely to die earlier than their Debbie Downer counterparts.
It Makes your immune system stronger
It is my belief that when you're more optimistic, and live in such a way that reflects that, you are taking care of yourself and doing things that are beneficial to the mind body connection. That said, Scientists have yet to prove the exact physiological mechanism that makes this possible. However, current scientific research proves positive thinkers have a stronger immune system and are better equipped to fight off bad bacteria and viruses. A study published in Psychological Science shows how positive-thinking students were able to ward off the common cold more easily than students who had a bleaker outlook in life.
A Healthy Heart
Regular practice of positive thinking, whether through meditation, relaxation, hypnotherapy or writing every day in a gratitude journal, strengthens your heart and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases. One study showed positive people are less prone to accumulating plaque buildup in the arteries and developing coronary heart disease. Subsequent research published in the same journal shows they are also far less likely to experience a heart failure.
Reduces the Effects of Stress
Several studies have shown that people who make a habit of thinking positively are better able to cope with stressful times. They also feel less stressed overall. Positive thinkers also feel more confident with themselves and are less likely to feel depressed when facing stressful life events. I think this comes from the mindset of "a bad day doesn't equal a bad life". One study published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology shows that positive thinkers are generally happier than people who look at the glass half-empty. When you are able to see your life on the brighter side of things, you are less likely to feel like your life is a never ending tunnel of darkness. Remember, you are what you think!
Improves fertility for both sexes
Remembering what you just read above about all of the ways that positive thinking can help, by relieving stress, and science proves that relieving stress can improve your chances of getting pregnant. Cortisol is the hormone released when we are stressed, and it's the most primitive hormone, dominating the rest in our body, because it triggers the "Fight or Flight" response. When cortisol is released, it will dominate the FSH, Progesterone and Estrogen levels which are all needed to conceive. It also will cause spasms in the uterus and fallopian tubes, making pregnancy more difficult as well. So you can see what it is very important to reduce stress. In research published in the International Journal of Fertility, scientists discovered that infertile couples felt way more stressed than fertile ones. Furthermore, in another study published in the Oxford Journals, women reported feeling less stressed on the month of conception, which supports the idea that feeling calm and relaxed is a key component of fertility. This is why you often hear of women saying "when we quit trying, and just relaxed, it finally happened".

November 1, 2015/
All Saints Day
Isaiah 25:6-9; Psalm 24; Revelation 21:1-6a; John 11:32-44
When we hear the tale of Jesus weeping over the death of Lazarus, our own irreversible losses reverberate in our hearts. Of the many stories of Jesus' healing and death-reversing power, the story of Jesus reviving Lazarus is one uniquely colored by the intimacy and loyalty of friendship. If only we could revive our most beloved friends who are no longer with us in this life. And, why does it feel in times of loss as though the death of a beloved friend or family member would threaten our own lives? Why does it feel as though grief wants to become our undertaker? We can't move. We can't work. We can hardly speak. Loss can literally be life breaking. We see this in the numerous cases of the elderly lover who dies just days or weeks after a beloved spouse.
Yet story - myth - can help us to cope with the complexity of such pain. Jesus raising Lazarus is one. Another is the Sumerian myth of the Goddess Inanna. Inanna was known in Ancient Iraq as the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and she chose do descend to the underworld after the death of her sister's husband. Entering the underworld required of Inanna to surrender every aspect of herself and her status. She was made to enter seven portals. At the first they demanded her crown. At the second they took her lapis beads. By the seventh portal she was literally stripped naked and made to surrender her royal robe. Inanna was then judged harshly, killed and reduced to a piece of raw meat. Isn't that how we feel in times of deep grief; raw in every fiber of our being?
And yet, there are people who know us well and can reach into our isolation and sorrow. The effort of these companions can inspire the reassembly of our lives. Jesus entered a cave filled with the four-day old stench of death and yet came out with his friend newly revived. In Inanna's case it was her servant - a woman who knew Inanna's every move - who instigated Inanna's return from the underworld. Thanks to the efforts of this loyal friend and servant, two genderless beings were said to have travelled to the underworld and found Inanna's corpse. One sprinkled upon it the bread of life and the other the water of life. The Queen of Heaven was restored and began her return.
Sometimes we grieve and need the assistance of others. Sometimes it is we who must be watchful for those we know well. If we find them down, depressed or isolated we need not diagnose or attempt to fix them. Instead let us invite them anywhere that is outside their place of pain.
The baptism of new saints into our church fold, a liturgical act that we do today, is a commitment from us to them, that we will be the church of revival. When they turn 50, are depressed by their age, and are paralyzed by thoughts of the future, we will force their removal from the couch and take them to lunch. We will hold their hand when they grieve. We will look for them when they are lost. We promise to not bee too demanding, judgmental or creepy, and pledge to instead be intimate, safe, strong, helpful and constant. I invite us to pray for each other as we strive to be these latter things, remembering honestly our saints of old and welcoming joyfully our saints of new.

Foodie Crush/
Monday morning the newest issue of Foodie Crush hit the web! I had actually never heard of Foodie Crush until my sister tweeted at me about it. Foodie is my middle name, so I instantly started researching to find out what this "Foodie Crush" was all about.
Heidi Larsen is the mastermind behind this online food magazine. She came up with the idea from combining two of her favorite things, food blogs and food magazines. Heidi has her on food blog, but puts together this seasonal online mag to feature her recent foodie crushes.
The summer's issue includes an article on Teen Bloggers, recipes for summer popsicles, Fair inspired food and a feature on The Big Potluck (a forum for bloggers on the West coast).
The Teen Bloggers section was my favorite. Out of the 6 featured, all are under the age of 20. I discovered Izy from Top With Cinnamon a couple weeks ago. Izy is 17, lives in London, and has the most drool worthy pictures on her blog.
Lisey was another favorite I discovered. She is 10 years old. Yes, 10, and already has her own food blog. My favorite thing on her blog is the "About Me" section. Lisey is home schooled, has an older brother and two younger sisters, likes to fold origami, read American Girl books and is a lot like her mom. Lisey sounds like me at age 10. I was just starting to bake and was an American Girl fanatic! I can't wait to try her recipe for chocolate chip coffee muffins.
I love reading about Heidi's foodie crushes, but I have my own as well. My top three foodie crushes are consistently The Pioneer Woman, Joy the Baker and How Sweet It Is! These are the sites I go to first when looking for a recipe!
