C1 Density estimation
Terms in this set (...)
objects described by a set of data;
examples: customers, companies, subjects in a study, units in an experiment, etc.
special variable used in some data sets to distinguish the different cases
a characteristic of a case
Different cases can have different ______ of the variables.
What does the distribution of a variable tell us?
what values it takes and how often it takes these values
very useful for doing simple computations;
-> you can type in a formula and have the same computation performed for each row
The key characteristics of a data set answer the questions: ______ , _______ and _______.
Who? What? Why?
two basis strategies of exploratory data analysis
1. examine each variable by itself; then move on to study the relationship among the variables
2. begin with a graph; then add numerical summaries of specific aspects of the data
distribution of a categorical variable
lists the categories and gives either the
- count
- or the percent
of cases that fall in each category
the extreme values of a distribution;
high values are in the upper, or right, tail
low values are in the lower, or left tail
How to examine a distribution:
1. look for the overall pattern and for striking deviations from that pattern
2. describe the overall pattern of a distribution by its shape, center and spread
3. look for outliers
time plot
plots each observation against the time at which it was measured
resistant measure
when a measurement can resist the influence of extreme observations;
-> its value does not respond strongly to changes in a few observations
Why is the mean weak in measuring center?
mean is sensitive to the influence of extreme observations;
it is not a resistant measure
robust measure
synonym for resistant measure
How to find the median:
1. arrange all observations in order of size;
-> from smallest to largest
2. if the number of observations n is odd (ungerade),
the median M is the center observation in the
ordered list
-> find the location of the median by counting (n+1)/2
observations up from the bottom of the list
3. if the number of observations n is even, the median
M is the mean of the two center observations in the
ordered list
Name the two most common measures of the center of a distribution.
Compare the mean and the median:
- of a symmetric distribution
- of a skewed distribution
symmetric: close together
skewed: the mean is farther out on the long tail than is the median
variance s^2
the average of the squares of the deviations of the observations from their mean;
standard deviation s
the square root of the variance s^2;
degrees of freedom
the number n-1
properties of the standard deviation
- s measures spread about the mean and should be
used only when the mean is chosen as the measure of
- s=0 only when there is no spread
-> happens only when all observations have the same
-> as the observations become more spread about
their mean, s gets larger
- s, like the mean, is not resistant
-> a few outliers can make s very large
linear transformation
changes the original variable x into the new variable x new given by an equation of the form:
x new = a+bx
-> adding the constant a shifts all values of x upward or
downward by the same amount
-> such a shift changes the origin (zero point) of the
-> multiplying by the positive constant b changes the size of the unit of measurement
density curve
a curve that:
- is always on or above the horizontal axis
- has area exactly 1 underneath it
-> describes the overall pattern of a distribution
-> the area under the curve and above any range of values is the proportion of all observations that fall in that range
Why are Normal distributions so important for statistics?
1. they are good descriptions for some distributions of
real data
2. Normal distributions are good approx. to the results
of many kinds of chance outcomes (such as tossing a
3. many statistical inference procedures based on
Normal distribution work well for other roughly
symmetric distributions
68-95-99.7 rule
in the Normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ:
- approx. 68% of the observations fall within one
standard deviation of µ
- approx. 95% within two standard deviations of µ
- approx. 99.7% within three standard deviations of µ
z-score or standardized value
if x is an observation from a distribution that has mean µ and standard deviation σ, the standardized value of x is:
z = (x - µ) / σ
standard Normal distribution
Normal distribution N(0,1) with mean 0 and standard deviation 1

Life may have changed for her in the last two decades, but for mother of a 11-year-old Anindita Chakraborty table tennis has always remained permanent, especially after winning the senior national women's team title at the age of 39.
Anindita, who will turn 40 in April, defeated opponents almost half of her age in the just-concluded senior Nationals in Haryana to help Bengal win the title for the first time since 1997 season which was held in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Being young, they're extremely fast and agile. You need to be at your toes to keep up with them but we did well and we won the tournament without dropping a game," a beaming Anindita told PTI after returning from Manesar.
"Some of them would be curious and come near me asking to learn the tricks of the game. It was really a great experience.
"My first title in Kolkata in 1993, when Bengal won for the first time since 1972 will always remain special but this will rank closer," Anindita, who later won for Bengal in Jamshedpur in 1994 and 1997, said.
From getting married in 2000 to giving birth to Akshita in 2005, there were times when she thought of quitting the game but it's her employers, South-Eastern Railway that kept her going as she annexed her seventh Naitonal team title, that included thrice with the Railways (1995-96 and 1998 seasons).
Now Akshita, who is in standard six at the Ashok Hall Girls Higher Secondary School, keeps pushing her mother to go for more.
"She pushes me a lot as her interest in the sport is really motivating," she said.
It was not only her game, but her daughter's final assessment back here in Kolkata that kept her on toes.
"We would discuss not only matches but about her studies at the end of every match. I don't have any personal goal but it's the passion for the sport that keeps me going," Anindita said.
"I feel privileged to play alongside a bunch of talented girls. It's really hard for me to stay fit but my trainer works a lot with me," Anindita, now a coach and selector, added.
She further thanked her parents, in-laws and a supportive husband, a businessman for contributing in her success.
"I also received a huge support from my family. My parents came and stayed here so that my practice was not hampered in the build-up to the Nationals.
Anindita said six-time national champion Poulami Ghatak inspired her with a superlative show in the recently concluded nationals.
"Poulami had a one-year layoff in 2015 as she gave birth to a boy in October and on her return she made the (women's singles) final. It's really inspiring," she said.
Asked whether she aspire to play alongside her daughter at competitive level one-day, Anindita said: "You never know. She is keen to take up the sport. I am in search of practice venue for her.
"As they say, age is just a number," she signed off.

The Craigslist Green House4/23/2014
The latest addition is the new construction of a 12'X12' green house from mostly reclaimed and materials purchased from Craigslist.
The conceptual idea was started in Google/Tremble Sketchup. You can find the greenhouse in the Tremble SketchUp Warehouse.
Item procured through Craigslist.com sometimes were free althought there were some purchased Items an approximate breakdown goes something like this:
Windows Free
6 crank out windows $250
Doors $100
Stone for floor - from another project lying around - Free??
Corrugated roofing clear $350
Screws / fasteners $150
Fan and louvers X-Mas present
Shelving and tables Free wood and wire shelving
2X4 and Misc Plywood $500
Paint $80
Electrical $200
Currently I am estimating the cost at less than $1,750 or there about... below are a series of construction photos... I am very pleased with the final results. I would also like to thank my Father, Robert Lewellen for all his assistance and encouragement in this project. If it weren't for him there would be no Craigslist Greenhouse!
Leave me comments and let me know what you think!
Sketchup Plans - Created from an idea of a south facing windows at a latitude of 35 degrees. the rule of thumb is to add 10-15 degrees to your latitude to get the optimal winter sun. EASY! 45 degrees ot there about. I think this one is closer to 50 but it works great. From winter sun up to winter sun down there is light entering the glass all day long!
Framing and construction starts... This is a "temporary structure" therefore the are no building codes or restrictions however, the building codes person I spoke with stated that is a $75 fee for permit with the city but that in my area it was not necessary unless we lived in a deed restricted area. There are other outbuildings in the area so...
Test fit of the glass framework - it luckily came out to amost excatally 12'!
All framed up!
Cold Cold days of construction work...

Reported Cases
Kestrel Hydro v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government [2016] EWCA Civ 784
22 July 2016
Instructed counsel on behalf of the claimant, a commercial enterprise, in this appeal against the decision in Kestrel Hydro v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government [2015] EWHC 1654 (Admin). Represented the claimant in his appeal against the decision of the Planning Inspector to uphold an enforcement notice issued by the local planning authority. The challenge was brought as the enforcement notice was issued alleging a material change of use, although it sought to attack operational development. The notice was upheld, as the works were integral to, or part and parcel of, the unauthorised use, and the case confirmed this principle.
R. (on the application of Patel) v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government [2016] EWHC 3354 (Admin)
21 December 2016
Instructed counsel on behalf of the claimant, a shopkeeper. This was a challenge against a decision of a Planning Inspector to grant prior approval for the change of use of a corner shop into residential accommodation. Amongst other matters, the case considered whether the Planning Inspector had considered the needs of the elderly and disabled, and whether she had had due regard to the public sector Equality Duty (PSED) in the Equality Act 2010 s.149.
R. (on the application of Thakeham Village Action Ltd) v Horsham DC [2014] EWHC 67 (Admin); [2014] Env. L.R. 21; [2014] J.P.L. 772
29 January 2014
Instructed counsel on behalf of a local interest group challenging the grant of permission by the local planning authority for 146 houses on part of a former mushroom farm, even though the proposed development was contrary to the local plan. The case dealt with s106 agreements and the concept of "enabling development."

New medical device mechanism of action animation turned into an medical illustration
The stomach is a highly acidic environment due to gastric acid production and secretion which produces a luminal pH range usually between 1 and 2 depending on the species, food intake, time of the day, drug use, and other factors. Combined with digestive enzymes, such an environment is able to break down large molecules (such as from food) to smaller ones so that they can eventually be absorbed from the small intestine. A zymogen called pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells and turns into pepsin under low pH conditions and is a necessity in protein digestion. The human stomach can produce and secrete about 2.2 to 3 liters of gastric acid per day with basal secretion levels being typically highest in the evening. The stomach can expand to hold between 2-4 liters of food. It is a temporary food storage area, and in the process of digestion, the food goes into the stomach first.
Stomach medical illustration created by medical animation studio and tres 3d for a medical device company - marketing and medical education
Absorption of vitamin B12 from the small intestine is dependent on conjugation to a glycoprotein called intrinsic factor which is produced by parietal cells of the stomach.
Other functions include absorbing some ions, water, and some lipid soluble compounds such as alcohol, aspirin, and caffeine.
Also, contrary to popular belief, the stomach is not necessary for survival. The esophagus can be connected directly to the small intestine. You only have to chew your food into a thick pulp before swallowing.

The International War Crimes Tribunal: a Sick Joke
There is no ostensible reason why war criminals who have engaged in mass murder and seriously breaking other stipulations of the Geneva Convention should not be brought to book, even if the offenses allegedly committed were half-a-century or more ago. The 20th century has known its fair share of infamous despots who should rightly have their foul deeds exposed for the world to see and consequently suffer an apposite punishment for their terrible crimes. I doubt very few of us inside or outside of the Truth Movement would raise any serious objections to that.
But it's deeply worrying that those so far captured and brought before this process appear very strongly to be SELECTED according to two main criteria:
a) Who they are, in whose interests they were serving, and
b) Who their victims were.
We are constantly assured that everything is being done to ensure no war criminal, wherever they may be, ever escapes Justice and indeed, from time-to-time, some minor demagogue is captured, hauled before the Tribunal and given a show-trial in front of the blazing lights of the world's media. It's all very re-assuring to know that finally, there's a 'new sheriff in town' that won't let a case rest until the perpetrators are captured and see due process before a competent authority, with all the evidence on the table, out in the open, for all to see.
But since the ICC has been up and running, it has become increasingly apparent that some of the world's WORST war criminals are not even on its 'wanted list'. These prosecutions appear not only politically-motivated, but also highly SELECTIVE in respect of those they hunt down and indict. This essay has been prompted by the arrest and arraignment of the Yugoslavian leader, Dr. Radovan Karadzic, who has been whisked to the Hague at lightning speed to answer for his alleged 'crimes' - which were basically just his attempts to prevent his Christian country from being over-run by militant Muslims and Gypsies.
The Bosnian Serbs (who were painted as the 'bad guys' during the 1990s civil war) view Dr. Karadzic, not surprisingly, as their hero - just as we would anyone who took a strong stand against mass immigration of undesirables in our own country. Sadly Karadzic's noble cause to clean up his country was unacceptable to the Marxists in the New World Order who smeared him with all sorts of unpleasant epithets,simply for his pro-nationalist stance. He refused accept 'multiculturalism being forced upon his beloved country and took a robust stand against it. To the henchmen of the NWO, this was enough to set a fuse to a train of events which has seen Karadzic placed in a cell in Holland to await his eventual fate.
Now whether or not we are sympathetic to Karadzic and the Nationalist movement in Serbia (Phaedrus naturally IS, of course) it is becoming increasingly obvious that the remit of this Court only seems to go as far as pursuing those prosecutions deemed desirable by International Jewry and its network of gentile collaborators in Holland and the UN. Which ever way you look at it, Karadzic is a very small fish. He is but a minnow in a sea of far more evil and destructive persons who are unlikely EVER to be brought before the Court to answer the FAR more serious charges outstanding against THEM. And the longer this kangaroo court is permitted to operate, the more glaring these disparities in the nature of its chosen defendants becomes.
Here are just a FEW, REAL, MURDEROUS tyrants for you to contemplate:
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
Ehud Olmurt
Henry Kissinger
Ariel Sharon
Paul Wolfowitz
Richard Perl
Donald Rumsfeld
Just to cite a MERE HANDFUL of rodents who between them have slaughtered MILLIONS of innocent men, women and children. What interest have the Hague's prosecutors shown in THEM? None whatsoever! How curious. Israel is the most despicable 'country' in the world when its political and religiously-motivated murders are expressed in terms of its tiny population. China is scarcely better. Where are the Chinese right now? "Most Favored Nation" for international trade, according to the US state department! And they've had the Olympics handed to them on a plate! Kissinger, who indulged in unspeakable barbarity whilst operating in South America during the 1960s. No sign of that Satan-worshiping monster, either. In fact the Jewish-controlled Nobel Committee even awarded the sick son-of-a bitch one of their Peace Prizes one year! That's Jewish humor for you, I guess.
Will there EVER come a time when these vile, sub-human vermin are dragged to Holland to have their untold crimes exposed before the world to see? I wouldn't bet on it. The International Criminal Court is just yet another arm of the United Nations, which controls it - and more importantly, WHO is on the wanted list for trial there. It shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us any more. Karadzic- a proud patriot beloved by his people - today commences his years rotting away in some dingy cell in Holland whilst awaiting a trial that may well outlive its defendant, just as the last one did for Karadzic's fellow patriot: Slobodan Milosovic, who died from the stress of the process before the court could reach any verdict.
We are not seeing even-handedness in the choice of quarry this Tribunal SHOULD be going after. From behind this monitor, Phaedrus perceives BLATANT BIAS and undue FAVOR taking place which will continue to grow ever more obvious to more and more people for as long as this wretched series of show-trials continues. WHO THE HELL DO THESE CROOKS THINK THEY'RE KIDDING? We're not stupid! Many of us can see with perfect clarity exactly what's going on. AND IT STINKS!!!

"War Crimes" Prop.--Just More Balderdash By Jew Money Power, That's All
(Apollonian, 31 Jul 08)
Indeed good comrade Phaedrus, consider basic logic of idiotic "Int. War Crimes Tribunal"--who then are only people POWERFUL enough to possibly, conceivably make such pretentious operation work?
Say I, supreme commander of forces of Apollonia, exterminate scads of folks in land of enemy Dionysia, and we manage to "win" the war, God-willing. So who's going to "arrest" me?--it could only be some stronger, enemy power, and who would that be?
For why would any of my own people do such dumb, traitorous thing? The other side lost (presumably), so they can't do anything, can they? For when/if u "win," it means no one can mess with u, right?
And after all, I only did the necessarily vicious, ruthless things one has to do in war, slaughtering and killing much as possible, creating most damage, mayhem, and pain against scum who (presumably) attacked.
Who ever hrd of a "fair war"? Thus people are rightly taught not to go to war except as very LAST RESORT, this in absolute defense. I only slaughtered and exterminated as it was only thing to do--as the enemy refused to listen to reason and attacked. Enemy must have known I'd fight my hardest--it's only way to fight war, etc.
And say some power did seek my arrest--who are they then but simply ally of Dionysia? And so all it means then is the war continues, this now by ally of Dionysia.
Thus the entire premise for such "War Crimes Tribunal" is shown to be so brainlessly, completely absurd.
And ur analysis is well borne out: the only possible "prosecutors" of Karadzic is same Jew money power, as u pt. out, that's all. And this idiot "prosecution" is simply continuation of war against, extortion of Serbs, indubitably--what else?
And all this "war crimes" bullshit is purest propaganda and crap, that's all, meant for morons, only people stupid enough to go for it.
Hence then observe what REALLY is going on: Imperialist war against anyone and whoever is weak enough--AND WHAT'S "JUSTIFICATION" we're fed?--the same idiotic MORALISM-Pharisaism as always given by scummy Jew money-power w. their effete lies meant for queers. Hey, so ZOG-Mammon is on the side of "good" and anti-antisemitism, as always.
And hence do u notice something?--"good" and anti-antisemitism ARE ALWAYS LINKED--they're the same thing. Only Jews are good--Only Jews are God--get it?
Hence then we make the biggest mistake when we get diverted/distracted upon idiot "war crimes," etc., and take our eye off the real FRAUD that's taking place: the emplacement of Jews as arbiters, as judges, as the only real power, now evermore so invincible and un-questionable. After all, u don't want to be against "justice" do u? U don't want to be in favor of "war criminals" do u?--ALL ALWAYS IN THE NAME OF MORALISM-Pharisaism, "good-evil," etc.
And when one stops to think and just look--who and what are these scummy Judeo-conspirators (see TheNewAmerican.com for expo/ref. on CFR-Bilderberg conspiracy)?--they're just a bunch of stinking COUNTERFEITERS, in essence, that's all--see RealityZone.com for expo/ref. on US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) fraud.
So good comrade Phaedrus, my conclusion is it ("war crimes tribunal") is indeed "sick joke," exactly as u say--FOUNDED THEN UPON THE SAME "GOOD-EVIL" fallacy/delusion/heresy (Pelagianism/Pharisaism) I've been warning u about.
CONCLUSION; For only liars and frauds seriously push this "good-evil" balderdash which is utterly without criterion or verifiable meaning, something totally subjective and ultimately meaningless--lies and murder all meant to back-up and prop that basic little scam of theirs, COUNTERFEIT conspiracy. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

Not really sure about Twitter?
You are certainly not alone. According to 2009 LinkedIn Harris poll, to the question "Thinking about Twitter, what is your closest opinion?" 69% of the consumers in the poll responded "I do not know enough about Twitter to have an opinion."
Yet, even by 2009, Twitter had made an impact on the world. One of the most memorable events occurred in April 2008 when James Buck, a University of California at Berkley graduate student, was arrested while photographing an anti-government protest in Egypt. Buck managed to send a quick tweet from his Twitter account that consistent of a single word: arrested.
His followers contacted the University, the American Embassy as well as media organizations, who together put pressure on Egyptian authorities. The next day Buck sent yet another one-word tweet: freed.
Now the tweets you send about your organization may not be as dramatic as those from Buck, but with help from Heather Mansfield, author of Social Media for Social Good , here are six Twitter best practices to follow:
1. Find Your Voice – Have Personality and Build Community. Sure, it's fine and helpful to your followers to push out content about yourself, like information about road closures, detours and the current number of parking spaces, but the best Twitter voices have character and are friendly. These voices share opinions and contribute to discussions. Send out a wide variety of content, including photos and videos. Certainly resist the temptation to automate your tweets or direct messages. Inspirational quotes and powerful statistics have high tweet (and retweet) appeal.
2. Track Your Links. Use a third-party app such as Google URL Shortener, Bit.ly or Owl.ly to track your links. Not only do these free tools shrink long links, allowing you more characters for tweeting, but they also provide useful statistics on how many people clicked on your links. Twitterers who do not track their links are simply tweeting blind. Your number one job in the successful use of social media is to find out what kind of content your followers want and to provide more of it to them.
3. Do not Tweet Only Your Content. Mix it up ! Tweet articles or blog posts from your favorite newspapers, bloggers and partner organizations. An insurance agent I know will syndicate a local sports team or ask followers where they will be going on vacation or if they will be attending the county fair. With social media, engagement (and not one-way communication) is the key.
4. Retweet and Reply Often. Follow the Golden Rule. The more your organization promotes others through retweets and replies, the more your business will get retweeted and mentioned. This is one of the fastest ways to grow your follower base.
5. Follow on a 1: 1 Ratio. If you have 1,000 followers then you should be following 1,000 Tweets in return. Why? Four reasons:
a. You're likely to get more followers if people see that you follow in return.
b. People can not direct message you if you are not following them.
c. People are less likely to mention or retweet you if they think you'll never retweet or mention them.
d. People will get an email saying that your organization is now following them.
6. How often should you tweet? The lifespan of a tweet is about 90 minutes. Most people only browse their tweets in real time. Tweet 4 to 6 times a day and space your tweets throughout the day. Twitter is most active from 9 am to noon.

basic cotton tees, stripped shirts, denim shirt (which can be worn with just about anything) and a fun Summer dress
Packing, for some reason has always been one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. It builds up the excitement of all the potential things that could happen! I snapped a few shots of my travel necessities before putting them in the suitcase and hauling off to the airport.
Like I mentioned previously I plan out all my outfits in advance that way I don't have to spend anytime planning or fussing over what I'll wear because as we all know vacation time is precious.
skirts, shorts, jeans, and beach or poolside bathing suit and wrap
accessories consisting of: watches, bracelets and fun statement rings

With two short trips, I have also had time to do a few other things around the house. I enjoyed messing with my garden. My tomatoes are going to town this year. They are actually overshadowing a lot of my other plants. But I don't have the heart to whack them back. I also worked on a lot of baby blankets. We have quite a few ladies at Church expecting babies, so I tried to get prepared.

In advent of tomorrow's L2 Facebook IQ Index release, today, we launched several like-gated custom tabs on the L2 Facebook page. The tabs, powered by Buddy Media (our industry partner for this particular study), offer L2's Facebook community access to videos that highlight key findings from past reports, top-ten Digital IQ Index rankings, and downloadable infographics. Our Research Archive tab provides one-click access to full copies of each of our past reports.
The move to the Timeline interface earlier this year had many marketers nervous about the death of like-gating. As Timeline became the default landing page for brand searches on Facebook, welcome pages blocking direct access to The Wall were effectively rendered useless. With this shift, fans and non-fans alike were given the same access to the same content and experience, begging the question, "Why go through the trouble of 'liking' a brand page when I can access the same content by simply visiting its Timeline?"
For L2 member brands, the answer to this question is two-fold. First, the power of self-identification by association with a luxury brand is amplified by Timeline's more friend-centric design, which prominently features and frequently refreshes dynamic friend activity above the fold. Second, the opportunity to tell compelling stories in a visually impactful manor is embedded in prestige brands' DNA—a winning strategy for Timeline success.
As we encourage our member brands to focus on fan engagement and offering value to their communities, we realize the importance of rewarding those fans who have been kind enough to invite L2 into their feeds. For us, gated tabs were a simple and low-friction way to provide fans with access to our research and media archives. The best part? It's all available, without ever having to leave Facebook.

Hallet cove again in late winter!!! 25th July 2009
Winter days in Adelaide are usually cold and gloomy and grey. Temperatures can range from 3-20 degrees. Rainfall is the highest during winter, almost everyday is a rainy day, however, the rainfall here is very much different from Malaysia as the clouds cry whenever they like to, and the funny part is they cry for a while, sometimes they weep only sometimes burst into tears very suddenly then stop. But nothing like our Malaysia tropical storm, rains for hours like pouring water from above or for days continuously. The weather is worse if it's windy. The wind kills!!! You felt each gust of wind penetrate your skin and chill your bone!!! You get very little sun shine and the day gets dark early. So winter days are Soooooooooooo sien, hid in the room, most of the time u felt like hiding under the warm Quilt and zzzz away. Your hands are freezing even by just holding the mouse, and your legs are numb even if u wore thick woolen socks. Basically, if i'm an animal, i would go hibernate, lol.
Yet 25th July was a bright sunny day, just felt like being activated by the sunshine. Just cant resist the temptation to go out somewhere and get some vitamin D, haha. The weather and temperature is just nice!!! So, i invited my 2 housemates to come along with me to my favourite spot in Adelaide – Hallet Cove, hehe, i even asked them to jog. They too felt like getting active, but not in the mood for jogging, so we ended up strolling along the cool breeze under the lovely sunshine!!! Trust me, you'll LOVE the sun so much during the winter!!!
Flowers, flowers everywhere as it's getting a bit hotter towards the end of winter. Some flowers were already in bloom. The lovely flowers make everywhere, anywhere a beautiful sight!!! Saw this sakura like trees, not sure it's real sakura or the almond tree blossom which looks very identical to me.
As i mentioned above, winter get the most rain throughout the whole year, thus when there's more sunshine, everywhere is in lush greeennnnnnnnnnnnn!!! Very pretty!!!
Hallet cove just looked so different with the green landscape!!! With yellow tiny flowers everywhere in full bloom!!! My last visit during December was all dry arid colours. Totally different!!!
Blue blue clear sky……, you'll only get these during spring and summer mostly. It's so peaceful to the eyes!!! Capture this photo with the little aeroplane, haha. Here you'll see planes and sailing boat on a nice day!!!
Sook Xia, u'll love this place since you like to see air planes take off. Even better off Glenelg, wahaha.
This time, we went down to the rocky beach. It's such a nice place!!! This beach holds some funny geographical formation, ridges and rocks that have geographical significance.
Walk up the hill again in hallet cove, which looks really greennnnn!!! Everywhere is green now!!! Love it!!!
These tiny little yellow flowers looks very pretty when there are in scattered around in a big patch of green green grass.
Beautiful sunset during winter!!! What a nice way to end the day!!! I'll come back again :)

The Bill Collector
The man in the middle is named Anthony. Anthony works in a call center where he is tasked with the job of collecting on unpaid debts.
Anthony is often accused of being a "vulture" or a "scam artist" by those who owe money to the credit card company where he works. Sometimes, he has to call people and demand payment even when he knows they cannot pay him. He hears stories that make him sad and is spoken to harshly by those who are really angry about other situations. Anthony is not allowed by his employer to defend himself when he is verbally abused. His self esteem suffers from the things people say sometimes.
Usually, the people Anthony calls simply didn't understand the terms of their credit offer. They are upset about the fees accrued and blame Anthony, personally, for the amount of money they owe. Anthony has no control over the fees. It is simply his job to collect.
He would like to find another job, but the economy where he lives is sparse. There aren't many opportunities outside of the call center, which is the main employer in his town. Some people on the phone think Anthony enjoys harassing them for their money, but in truth Anthony wishes he didn't have to. He also wishes there was a better system for helping those who have fallen behind.
Anthony knows about financial trouble. He, also, has a poor credit rating because of hospital bills from a prior illness. He knows how it feels to lose your job and be unable to make your payments. It truly bothers him when he has to call someone that is unable to make their payments because he knows these calls are another overwhelming reminder of their bad situation.
Sometimes, Anthony wishes he could skip certain names when they appear on his list. There are some customers he has called multiple times over several weeks. He knows they are in a tough situation and can't pay him, but he will get fired if he doesn't make the call.
Other times, he sees names that make him dread calling them for another reason. He doesn't want to be berated or abused by a person that simply chooses not to fulfill their obligations, but he has to. It is easy for people to forget, he thinks, that he is an actual person and not just a voice on the other end of the line.
Hopefully, most of us will never find ourselves in a position to receive a phone call from someone like Anthony. However, should trouble arise in our lives and we do receive such a call, what are some things we can remember about the person on the other end? How can we maintain our composure to treat all people with the dignity and respect they deserve, even if we feel they aren't respecting or showing dignity to us? How might situations be resolved with a bill collector to prevent these conversations from turning ugly?

Your partner will provide backend support so that your clients face no problem.
How much you can earn with voip reseller business? When you are in this service, you are free to determine your profit. Your partner will allow you to determine profit and get it from your clients.

New Balance stays on track in Cumbria
Margaret Thompson is busy attaching tiny sewn union jacks to the thousands of trainers that come off the production line at New Balance's Cumbrian factory in Flimby.
She's worked here for 30 years and, on the verge of retirement, finds it incredible that her employer is the last survivor of the once-flourishing shoe industry in the west of the county.
"This factory's very important because there's not much work at all now," she says.
"The industry's gone. We used to have Bata at Maryport, Millers at Cockermouth, K Shoes at Workington. They've all gone."
So what explains the continued presence of New Balance in Cumbria - turning out nearly 1.5 million pairs of running shoes and fashionable trainers a year?
And how can it afford to be the last remaining sports company to manufacture its own footwear? All of its rivals have outsourced production to cheaper factories, mainly in the Far East.
A clue as to why New Balance has clocked up 30 years in Cumbria lies, at least partially, with that union jack.
"We currently export to 58 countries," says business development manager Liam Burns.
"And there really is a cachet, particularly in the Far East, to buying footwear made in the UK."
'Absolutely committed'
So prestige becomes the selling point and wins out over price. Cachet over cost. But there's another reason that the Cumbrian factory is still in business.
New Balance is privately-owned in the US by chief executive and chairman Jim Davis, who is something of a philanthropist and champion of manufacturing. The company has six factories in its home country.
"New Balance's owner is absolutely committed to domestic manufacturing," says Mr Burns.
"He cares passionately about our workforce here, as well as in the US, and that commitment was shown by Jim Davis flying in from Boston to celebrate our 30th anniversary in Cumbria."
That's not to say that New Balance doesn't use sub-contracted factories itself.
Production can be found in China and Vietnam.
The company says that's explained by high demand for its shoes, a demand that can't be fulfilled by domestic manufacture alone.
Order book
And demand has been soaring.
In 1994, New Balance made 70% of its shoes in the US. Today it's thought that more than 75% of its shoes are made overseas, specifically in Asia.
But, the company insists, the move doesn't have any implication for its existing factories, or for the 240 workers in Cumbria who might see those figures as being indicative of a lessening of a commitment to making shoes in the county.
"We don't see that," says Liam Burns.
"Our order book is full. We are currently recruiting people to make sure we are geared up to meet the increasing demand for New Balance footwear. Our sales are growing at a considerable rate, internationally."
Indeed, the company is tentatively eyeing up expansion. It has bought a plot of land currently being grazed by sheep, but next to the existing factory, and hard by the Cumbrian coast line.
It could be the site of a new factory, creating new jobs. Something that would be welcomed in the area, where 3,500 people are without a job.
The development's not imminent, though. It's for when the current factory ups production.
Two, then possibly three, million pairs of trainers produced every year are the aspirations in Flimby.
And according to those on the shop floor there is the appetite in this part of Cumbria to become even bigger.
Andrew Renwick, who has worked in the factory for more than two years, is currently ensuring the finished trainers are blemish-free but has ambitions to become a team leader, and can see why the business might expand.
"The factory has a good reputation. People request New Balance made in England, which is fantastic because that's us," he says.
"As long as our factory is booming and we're doing a good job things will be alright."

Right now SEO or search engine optimization is as popular as a monarchist at a coronation. Everyone loves successful search engine optimization, because you can get lots of traffic…and…it's free! The problem is, that no one really knows how Google decides where to rank your site and when it will show up.
Why do we keep talking about Google? because they are the most used search engine – and we want our service to help you the most.
Any expert that tells you that they know exactly how Google's ranking works and/or guarantees that you'll get into the top spots (for a fee, of course), is being less than truthful. Even so, there are proven techniques that you can employ to get your site into the top of the listings. We believe in being very transparent about what we're doing and why we're doing it, so we'll show you exactly what we're doing, and why it helps to skyrocket you right to the top!
Business owners have big challenges when it comes to search engine optimization:
- Often, Google doesn't even know their site exists (this is VERY common)
- Even if Google does know about their site, it never shows up in search engine listings.
- Even if their site does show up in some kind of search, it's hardly ever the "keyword phrase" the owner would like
- Even if the owner could dictate to Google what keywords to show the site for, most business owners don't know which words and phrases are the money makers!
We use proven techniques to overcome each of these barriers. Call us 0845 838 7063 to let us build a customized SEO solution for your business.

Discovery of Nucleic Acids - Friedrich Miescher, 1869
Miescher isolated the nuclei of white blood cells obtained from pus cells. His experiments revealed that nuclei contained a chemical that contained nitrogen and phosphorus but no sulfur. He called the chemical nuclein because it came from nuclei. It later became known as nucleic acid.
Proteins Produce Genetic Traits - Archibald Garrod, 1909
Garrod noticed that people with certain genetic (inherited) abnormalities lacked certain enzymes. This observation linked proteins (enzymes) to genetic traits.
Genetic Material can Transform Bacteria - Frederick Griffith, 1931
When Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) bacteria are grown on a culture plate, some produce smooth shiny colonies (S) while others produce rough colonies (R). This is because the S strain bacteria have a mucous (polysaccharide) coat, while R strain does not.
Mice infected with the S strain die from pneumonia infection but mice infected with the R strain do not develop pneumonia.
Griffith was able to kill bacteria by heating them. He observed that heat-killed S strain bacteria injected into mice did not kill them. When he injected a mixture of heat-killed S and live R bacteria, the mice died. Moreover, he recovered living S bacteria from the carcasses.
He concluded that some substance needed to produce the mucous coat was passed from the dead bacteria (S strain) to the live ones (R strain); they became transformed.
This must be due to a change in the genotype associated with the transfer of the genetic material.
The Transforming Material is DNA - Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty, 1944
Prior to the work of Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty, the genetic material was thought to be protein. Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty worked to determine what the transforming substance was in Griffith's experiment (above).
They purified chemicals from the heat-killed S cells to see which ones could transform live R cells into S cells. They discovered that DNA alone from S bacteria caused R bacteria to become transformed.
They also discovered that protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) and RNA-digesting enzymes did not affect transformation, so the transforming substance was not a protein or RNA. Digestion with a DNA-digesting enzyme did inhibit transformation, so DNA caused transformation.
They concluded that DNA is the hereditary material, but not all biologists were convinced.
More Evidence: The Genetic Material is DNA - Alfred D. Hershey and Martha Chase, 1952
Hershey and Chase worked with viruses that infect bacteria called bacteriophages.
The bacteriophage becomes attached to the bacteria and its genetic material then enters the bacterial cell. The bacterial cell treats the viral genetic material as if it was its own and subsequently manufactures more virus particles. Hershey and Chase worked to discover whether it was protein or DNA from the viruses that entered the bacteria.
They grew a virus population in medium that contained radioactive phosphorus and another in medium that contained radioactive sulfur. Viruses grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus contained radioactive DNA but not radioactive protein because DNA contains phosphorus but protein does not. Similarly, viruses grown on radioactive sulfur contained radioactive protein but not radioactive DNA because DNA does not contain sulfur.
Radioactive bacteriophages were allowed to attach to E. coli bacteria. Then as the infection proceeded, the viral coats were removed from the bacteria by agitating them in a blender. The viruses particles were separated from the bacteria by spinning them in a centrifuge.
Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive, indicating that DNA was the material that passed from the virus to the bacteria. Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive. This indicates that proteins did not enter the bacteria from the viruses. DNA is therefore the genetic material that is passed from virus to bacteria.
Discovery of the Structure of DNA
Erwin Chargaff, 1940's and early 50's
DNA was thought to contain equal amounts of A, T, T, and C. Chargaff found that the base composition of DNA differs among species.
His data showed that in each species, the percent of A equals the percent of T, and the percent of G equals the percent of C. so that 50% of the bases were purines (A + G) and 50% were pyrimidines (T + C)
Chargafff's rules: 1) The percent of each base varies from species to species. 2) Within a species, the amount of A = T and the amount of G = C.
M.H.F. Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, early 50's
Wilkins and Franklin studied the structure of DNA crystals using X-rays.
They found that the crystals contain regularly repeating subunits.
Structures that are close together cause the x-ray to bend more than structures that are further apart. The X pattern produced by DNA suggested that DNA contains structures with dimensions of 2 nm, 0.34 nm, and 3.4 n. The dark structures at the top and bottom of their X-ray photograph of DNA indicate that DNA contains repeating units, suggesting a helix.
James Watson and Francis H.C. Crick, 1953
Watson and Crick used Chargaff's base data and Franklin's X-ray diffraction data to construct a model of DNA.
The model showed that DNA is a double helix with sugar-phosphate backbones on the outside and the paired nucleotide bases on the inside, in a structure that fit the spacing estimates from the X-ray diffraction data.
Chargaff's rules showed that A = T and G = C, so there was complementary base pairing of a purine with a pyrimidine, giving the correct width for the helix.
The paired bases can occur in any order, giving an overwhelming diversity of sequences.
Properties of Genetic Material
DNA is an ideal genetic material because it can store information, is able to replicate, and is able to undergo changes (mutate).
Structure of DNA
DNA is composed of units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
The nucleotides joined together to form a chain. The phosphate end of the chain is referred to as the 5' end. The opposite end is the 3' end.
DNA is composed of two chains of nucleotides linked together in a ladder-like arrangement with the sides composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups and the rungs being the nitrogenous bases as indicated by the diagram below.
The "A" of one strand is always paired with a "T" on the other. Similarly, the "G" of one strand is paired with a "C" on the other.
The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds (electrostatic attraction). Two hydrogen bonds hold adenine to thymine. Three bonds attach cytosine to guanine as indicated in the diagram above.
During the process of cell division, the DNA and associated proteins become tightly coiled producing visible chromosomes.
How is Information Stored?
The diagram below shows that one strand of the DNA double-helix serves as a template for the construction of mRNA. The sequence of nucleotides in this DNA strand is complimentary (opposite) the sequence in mRNA. The diagram also shows that the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA determines the amino acids in the protein. For example GUG in mRNA (or CAC in DNA) codes for valine (see below).
The strand of DNA that contains the genetic code is called the anti-sense strand. It is often referred to as the template strand. The other strand (the sense strand) is not used. Notice that the sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA except that mRNA has U instead of T.
The codes in DNA are copied to produce mRNA. Each three-letter code in mRNA (called a codon) codes for one amino acid. The sequence of amino acids in proteins is therefore most directly determined by the sequence of bases in mRNA, which in turn, are determined by the sequence of bases in DNA.
There are four letters in the genetic alphabet (A, T, G, and C) and each codon contains three letters. It is therefore possible to have 64 different codons. Because there are only 20 different amino acids and 64 possible codons, some amino acids have several different codons.
Terminators are codes that indicate the end of a genetic message (gene).
An initiator codon (usually AUG) indicates where the genetic information begins.
DNA replication
A replication bubble forms at a point in the DNA called the origin of replication. Eukaryotic cells have thousands of origins of replication but prokaryotic cells have only one.
The enyme helicase unwinds the DNA molecule by breaking hydrogen bonds between the bases.
Because DNA is coiled, as helicase advances, the DNA in front of it becomes more tightly twisted. Topoisomerases cut the DNA to relieve the excess winding and then rejoin the cut pieces.
DNA synthesis occurs at both ends of the replication bubble. However, the remaining diagrams show only half of this replication bubble.
In the diagrams, the top half of the replication bubble looks like an upside down "Y". This area is called a replication fork. The other side of the replication bubble also has a replication fork but this is not shown in the diagrams below.
Single-strand binding proteins attach to the separated strands and keep them separate. The separated strands serve as templates for the synthesis of new DNA.
DNA polymerase creates a new strand by pairing complimentary bases to the separated strands. However, it cannot initiate a new strand; it functions to lengthen an existing strand. Another enzyme, primase, must first add a short segment of nucleotides called a primer to the 3' end of the template strand. The primer is composed of RNA nucleotides.
Both Primase and DNA Polymerase add nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand. The direction of synthesis is therefore 5' to 3'.
The red lines in the diagram represent the RNA primer.
The primers are approximately 10 nucleotides in length and are complimentary to the template strand. The RNA nucleotides containing A, U, G, and C are bonded to DNA nucleotides containing T, A, C, and G respectively.
After the primer is created, DNA polymerase III attaches and continues to elongate the new strand beginning at the primer and progressing along the template strand as it adds complimentary nucleotides- A with T and G with C.
The direction of synthesis- 5' to 3'. DNA polymerase can only add to the 3' end of an existing strand.
Clamp proteins are involved in attaching DNA polymerase to the template strand. They circle the DNA and slide along with polymerase as replication proceeds.
DNA polymerase proofreads the new strand as it is being synthesized. Incorrectly paired bases are removed and the correct one is inserted (discussed later).
The DNA polymerase molecule on the right cannot proceed further.
This diagram shows that helicase continues to unwind the DNA.
DNA polymerase on the left side is able to continue lengthening the strand continuously.
DNA polymerase cannot synthesize DNA on the right side of the diagram because it needs a primer. Recall that DNA polymerase can lengthen a strand but it cannot initiate synthesis. A new RNA primer is synthesized by primase, indicated by the green structure in the diagram.
DNA polymerase can now attach and add nucleotides.
After the primer is synthesized (red lines), DNA polymerase can lengthen the strand.
Another molecule of DNA polymerase, called DNA polymerase I replaces DNA polymerase III. It removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA.
Notice that there is a gap between the two DNA strands where the primer was removed. DNA polymerase does not form the final bond needed to attach the two fragments.
Because the direction of synthesis is from 5' to 3', the strand on the left in the diagram is synthesized continuously but the strand on the right is synthesized in fragments. The strand that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand. The strand that is synthesized in fragments is called the lagging strand.
The fragments are called Okazaki fragments.
Ligase catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between the Okazaki fragments.
Helicase continues to separate the strands and the new DNA strand shown on the left continues to be lengthened.
Another RNA primer is now needed because DNA polymerase III cannot initiate synthesis.
This diagram summerizes the enzymes that function in DNA synthesis.

Repair of damaged DNA
Changes in the DNA code are called mutations. Repair enzymes repair most of the errors that occur in DNA. There are three different classes of repair mechanisms.
1. Proofreading corrects errors made during the DNA replication process.
2. Mismatch repair corrects base pair mismatching (A-T and G-C).
3. Excision repair removes and replaces small segments of damaged DNA.
Errors corrected as a result of DNA synthesis
The overall error rate during DNA replication in E.coli is one nucleotide in 100,000.
DNA polymerase proofreads the new strand of DNA as it is synthesized and it removes mismatched bases and replaces them with the correct bases.
After proofreading, the error rate is 1 in 10 billion nucleotides.
Mismatch Repair Immediately after Replication
After DNA is replicated, repair enzymes function to locate mismatched base pairs and replace the segment with the correct nucleotides.
In order to repair the mismatched bases, repair enzymes need to be able to identify which strand is the new strand. The mechanism of strand identification used by repair enzymes is not well-understood.
DNA Repair Enzymes
In addition to incorrectly paired bases during replication, a number of environmental agents such as radiation (UV, X-rays, radioactive elements) and chemicals (pesticides, cigarette smoke) can cause changes in the DNA.
Repair enzymes monitor the DNA and repair these changes. For example, excision repair occurs when a mutated segment of DNA is removed and replaced with a new segment. The new segment is then sealed to the original strand by ligase.
A common type of error caused by ultraviolet radiation occurs when two thymines become bonded to each other, forming a kink in the DNA molecule. This type of mutation, called a thymine dimer, can result in incorrect nucleotides being paired with it when the strand is replicated. To repair this mutation, an enzyme removes a segment of DNA that contains the dimer and replaces the removed nucleotides with nucleotides complimentary to the opposite strand. The new DNA is then bonded to the original strand with DNA ligase.
Changes in the DNA which are not repaired correctly are called mutations.
Most mutations are harmful. Occasionally, a mutation is beneficial and spreads by natural selection.
Mutations are the source of variation needed for natural selection to operate.
Organization of DNA
Chromosome Structure
Chromosomes are structures composed of condensed DNA and associated proteins. When DNA condenses, the molecule becomes wrapped around proteins called histones forming a bead-like structure called a nucleosome. DNA and its associated nucleosomes form a beaded thread-like material that is 10 nm in diameter.
The histones are then compacted together to produce a larger fiber 30 nm in diameter.
The 30 nm fibers are further compacted by looping and attachment to a protein scaffolding to produce looped domains (300 nm).
When the cell is not dividing (interphase), 30 nm fibers are abundant. The 10 nm fibers (DNA and nucleosomes) as well as looped domains (300 nm) are also present. Larger (700 nm) chromosomes form during cell division (mitosis and meiosis).
Evidence indicates that each chromosome occupies a specific area of the nucleus.
Heterochromatin and Euchromatin
Chromatin is DNA and its associated protein.
During interphase, looped domains may be attached to protein supporting structures on the inside of the nuclear membrane.
Some of the chromatin in the nucleus, called heterochromatin, is tightly coiled and condensed. In this state, it is not transcribed.
Euchromatin is a form of chromatin that is less condensed and is actively transcribed.
Unknown Function
Less than 5% of eukaryotic DNA functions to code for proteins. Approximately 1.5% of human DNA codes for protein. The function of the remaining DNA is not known but perhaps much of it has no function. In the past, noncoding DNA was sometimes called "junk DNA" because its function was not well understood.
Some parts of the DNA contain more genes than other parts. The gene-rich portions are rich in G and C while the noncoding DNA is rich in A and T. The light bands on chromosomes are gene-rich regions.
DNA polymerase is not capable of initiating the synthesis of DNA; it can only elongate a strand that has already been started. Normally, an RNA primer functions to begin the process, allowing DNA polymerase to attach and finish synthesizing the strand.
RNA primers that are not at the ends of the DNA will be replaced with DNA nucleotides.
RNA Primers located on the 5' end of a DNA strand cannot be replaced because DNA polymerase cannot begin at the end of a strand. It can only add to an existing strand.
The new DNA strand is shorter than the template strand. As a result of the inability of DNA polymerase to initiate synthesis, the DNA molecule becomes shorter with each replication.
Human chromosomes have the sequence "TTAGGG" repeated 100 to 1500 times at each end of the DNA strand. This repeated sequence, called a telomere, becomes shorter each time the DNA replicates.
Telomeres do not contain any genetic information.
Because DNA replication is part of the cycle of cell reproduction, the telomeres become shorter each time the cell reproduces. Short telomeres may prevent a cell from dividing. The length of telomeres, therefore, limits the number of times a cell can divide.
Telomerase is an enzyme that restores the length of telomeres. The active enzyme is normally not found in somatic (body) cells but is found in germ cells.
Prokaryotic chromosomes do not have telomeres. The chromosomes are circular and thus do not become shortened with each replication because RNA primers do not occur at the ends of the DNA.
The DNA of prokaryotes is not condensed into chromosomes as in eukaryotes. Their chromosome consists of a single loop of DNA.
Replication begins at a single origin and proceeds in both directions. It typically requires 40 minutes.
Another round of replication may begin before the previous one has finished, thus some cells are able to divide every 20 minutes.

Research Interests:
I head the Analytical Pharmacology Core (APC) and Natural Products Research Program at the Prostate Centre. APC conducts analytical liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectral technology to support translational research of small molecules and biologics. My lab primarily functions as a core facility at The Prostate Centre for the identification and quantitation of both xenobiotics (drugs and natural substances) and metabolites (steroids as well as xenobiotic metabolites). APC carries out both industrially and grant funded pharmacokinetic analyses for local clinical trials with conventional therapeutics for the treatment of prostate cancer. The focus of The Natural Products Research Program is orientated around the use of naturally derived therapies, health products and dietary supplements in prostate cancer and my research team is currently investigating several compounds/extracts of interest in prostate tumour models to examine their pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution, toxicity, metabolism and molecular mechanism of the action. Product quality as well as the concurrent use of natural products with conventional chemotherapeutics/treatment strategies are also being investigated to discern both beneficial and adverse interactions.

There are very few games in the 3DS and Wii U library that have dual releases for both platforms. Brave Tank Hero is a new tank combat game that is developed by Arc System Works and being published by Natsume Games for both Nintendo platforms. Players take control of their choice of tank class and complete a series of missions on various battlefields using their radar and heavy artillery against enemies. While at E3 2015, I had the chance to check out the game and see if this new tank combat title had anything good to offer to gamers with a 3DS or Wii U.
I first played a demo for Brave Tank Hero on Nintendo 3DS before checking out the Wii U counterpart of the game. The overall aesthetic of the game is stylized in a bright and cartoon-like world filled with fun explosions and tanks. As I expected, the controls are geared towards manipulating a tank on the battlefield on both systems, but with a few minor differences to simplify the experience.
The analogue stick moves your tank around the battlefield and the shoulder buttons turn the turret on top. Depending on your settings in the game, you can change this to have a lock-on feature that automatically targets nearby enemies as you move around the battlefield. It was easier to play the game with the auto-targeting switched on, but I felt I had more freedom with my shots when I disabled the auto-targeting.
Before starting up a mission, you have a choice of three classes of tank to take control in battle. The classes that are available are Light, Heavy, and Attack class tanks that each has its own stats and capabilities in combat. You cannot customize any parts of the tanks you control, but you can upgrade their stats as you complete missions in the game, which can turn heavy slow tanks into all-powerful machines.
I would have liked a customization feature similar to Natsume's Gotcha Racing, which was also previewed by me at E3 2015. Playing the demo of the game knowing this felt like there was a missed opportunity here, especially since there are no multiplayer features on Nintendo 3DS. There is a VS mode on the Wii U version of the game, but this is very basic and meager compared to what could be.
The single player content consists of story based missions that tell the events of the invasion of Paradise City. When you complete missions in the story mode, you then have the ability to revisit them in Free-Play Mission mode. You receive a rating for each mission you replay in Free-Play mode, which help power up your tanks as you gain better rankings. Unfortunately there were no other rewards from what I played in the E3 demo on both versions of the game.
Again this felt like a missed opportunity since there wasn't any sort of tank customization to reward players for playing missions over and over again. On the 3DS, this is even more apparent because of the lack of any multiplayer mode to compete with friends locally with powered up tanks. Even giving any kind of co-op style mode of play would be a welcomed edition to make me continue revisiting missions many times over.
The demo I played for Brave Tank Hero showed me an interesting concept for a game that I felt was missing a few key features. I wanted to have the ability to play against friends locally on the go with 3DS version. The Wii U version of Brave Tank Hero had multiplayer that was limited to local split screen play, which sounds like it would be a bit fun for a short time. As much as I tried to look pass it, I could not stop thinking about wanting a co-op mode for the Free-Play missions.
I'm still interested in checking out the final version of Brave Tank Hero despite my concerns on what was shown at E3 2015. Nintendo 3DS and Wii U owners will be able to check out Brave Tank Hero when the game is released for both platforms in Summer 2015.
Does tank combat on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U sound like a lot of fun? Interested in checking out Brave Tank Hero on a specific platform when it releases? Leave us a comment in the comment section below and let your voice be heard!!!
