The Savings Isn't Just Peanuts
A recent study in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association; Sept 20, 2016) has indicated that the early introduction of eggs and peanuts to babies reduces their risk of getting those food allergies.
When introduced to eggs at 4-6 months old babies showed lower allergy risk. Similar findings were found with babies aged 4-11 months old who were given peanuts. Specifically, 24 cases of egg allergy per 1,000 people and 18 cases of peanut allergy per 1,000 people could be eliminated through early introduction.
On its face this may seem more like a consumer issue than a pharmacological one. Parents/caregivers of allergic children must cope with special foods and treatments, increased doctors' appointments, and emergency room visits.
It also means one more thing: EpiPens.
By now we all know about how the maker of EpiPens, Mylan, raised the price of the life-saving drug injectors from roughly $100 in 2007 to $600 in 2016. In that same time-span, the EpiPen has gone from $1 million in yearly revenue for Mylan to over $1 billion!
Families, naturally, have been outraged over the five-fold increase. Many of them simply cannot afford the hefty price tag. But with Mylan having cornered 99 percent of the market, families are stuck with only two unpalatable options: Pay up, or risk their child's health.
Unfortunately for those 1 percent of Americans who have severe peanut and/or egg allergies, the costs (both in health care terms for the child and on the family finances) are high.
The good news is that there is now a proven way for parents-to-be to reduce the risk of peanut and egg allergies for their children—and potentially eliminate the need for EpiPens altogether.
Early introduction of eggs and peanuts to babies mitigates allergy risks and, by association, health care costs. That, of course, is excellent news for families.
On a larger scale it is news that is beneficial to the medical industry. We now know there is a cost-free preventative measure that directly translates to savings with regard to a billion-dollar drug. And those savings add up to much more than peanuts.

HB 879 Electric utility regulation; net energy metering by municipalities, etc.
Introduced by: Joseph R. Yost | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
Net energy metering by municipalities and multifamily customer-generators. Authorizes municipal renewable energy net metering projects. Participating municipalities are authorized to aggregate the electric energy load of their governmental buildings, facilities, and any other governmental operations requiring the consumption of electric energy for the purpose of net energy metering from a renewable energy generating facility. To be eligible, the generation facility for the municipal renewable energy net metering project shall use as its sole energy source solar power, wind power, or aerobic or anaerobic digester gas and landfill gas; not have an aggregate generation capacity of more than five megawatts unless a utility elects a higher capacity; be located on land owned or controlled by the municipality; be interconnected and operated in parallel with an electric utility's transmission and distribution facilities; and be used primarily to provide energy to metered accounts of the municipality. The aggregated municipal net metered accounts may be served by multiple meters. The aggregated load shall be served under the appropriate rate schedules. The measure also requires the State Corporation Commission, by July 1, 2015, to establish a program of multifamily net energy metering, which will allow a customer or customers that operate a renewable energy generating facility in a condominium, apartment complex, neighborhood, or homeowners association served by a common distribution circuit to be an eligible multifamily net metering customer-generator. The generation facility for multifamily net metering shall use as its total source of fuel renewable energy; not have an aggregate generation capacity of more than 500 kilowatts; be located on land owned or controlled by the eligible condominium, apartment complex, or homeowners association or on customers' property within the condominium, apartment complex, neighborhood, or homeowners association; be interconnected and operated in parallel with an electric utility's transmission and distribution facilities; and be used primarily to provide energy to metered accounts of the eligible multifamily net metering customer-generator. Eligible multifamily net metering customer-generators are exempt from the monthly standby charge assessed on other eligible customer-generators.

Home prices drop well below 0%, rental inflation stronger
House price growth (when adjusting for inflation) was -2.5% year-on-year for September – following -1.1% year-on-year deflation in August.
This is according to FNB household and property sector strategist, John Loos, who said the significant pace of slowdown in year-on-year house price growth has meant that rental inflation has overtaken house price growth.
"This, in turn, has led to the onset of a decline in the house price-rent ratio in recent months," he said. "When we examined our Q3 2016 major region house price indices, we saw the smaller provinces (smaller from an economic point of view) showing the greatest weakness.
"Mining sector weakness plays a significant role in parts of these smaller economic regions, and our FNB Mining Town House Price Index showed some mild house price deflation in Q3. However, we suspect that the drought may also be playing a role via its negative impact on the agricultural parts of such economies."
Eastern Cape a whisker from 0% growth
FNB reports that house price growth slowdown has become broad-based after starting in 2012/13 in KZN and Gauteng. More recently, however, the smaller five provinces (in terms of economic size) – Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape and Free State – have seen their year-on-year house price growth slow to 0.8%, while the Eastern Cape (the smallest economy of the major four provinces: Gauteng, KZN, Western Cape) saw house price growth of only 0.1% in Q3 2016.
"These smaller-sized economic regions are more heavily dependent on agriculture, and their very weak house price growth performance, especially since 2015, leads us to suspect that weak agricultural output is having a negative impact on their housing markets," said Loos. "It isn't just about actual agricultural output; droughts can severely impact on the sentiment of such regions, even the sentiment of those with purchasing power.
"However, it is difficult at this stage to evaluate the impact of the drought, because certain regions within the smaller five provinces have a large exposure to the mining sector too – a sector under major pressure in recent years."
According to the FNB Mining Towns House Price Index, compiled from deeds office data, shows a Q3 2016 move to average house price decline of -1.8% year-on-year; compared with +4% growth in FNB's Major Metro Index which was done using the same methodology.
Homes now take 14 weeks to sell
"It is possible that the larger big city and provincial economies, being more diversified, can escape with less weakness through economic downturns," said Loos. "But they don't escape altogether, and while the big three provinces' (Gauteng, KZN, Western Cape) house price growth rates were better than the smaller provinces in Q3, they too were slowing.
"The list of 'economic negatives' has been a lengthy one in recent years, and more recently they appear to have been catching up with, and constraining, the consumer and the residential market after a considerable lag."
The average price of homes transacted in October was R1,053,925.

Through February 15, 2015, the US American Express Membership Rewards program is offering a 35% bonus on points transfers to Virgin America Elevate.
The usual transfer ratio is 200:100 (Membership Rewards:Elevate), so through this promotion the transfer ratio will be 200:135. The bonus is hard coded into the transfer ratio, meaning the bonus points should post instantly and you can take advantage of the promotion as often as you'd like.
Redeeming Virgin America Elevate points for travel on Virgin America
Virgin America Elevate is a revenue based frequent flyer program for redemptions on their own flights.
That means the number of points required for a flight on Virgin America is entirely dependent on the cost of a revenue ticket. Each Elevate point typically gets you ~2.2 cents towards the cost of a Virgin America ticket.
So even with the transfer bonus you're looking at a maximum of ~1.5 cents of value per Membership Rewards point. That's not half bad if the alternative is using the "Pay With Points" option (which in my opinion isn't how you should redeem Membership Rewards points, but I know that doesn't stop lots of people), though also not exactly an aspirational redemption.
Redeeming Virgin America Elevate points for travel on other airlines
Virgin America does have some interesting partners, including Emirates, Virgin Australia, Virgin Atlantic, and Singapore, and there are some tempting redemptions there under specific circumstances. The problem is that I don't find any of their premium cabin redemptions on those airlines to be the best options out there.
The redemption rates on many of these airlines are quite good, though the issue is that they also impose fuel surcharges. For example:
- A roundtrip between New York and Milan in Emirates business class will run you 55,000 Elevate points, though there are $1,090 in taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges on the ticket
- A roundtrip between New York and London in Virgin Atlantic Upper Class will run you 35,000 Elevate points, though there are $910 in taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges on the ticket
- A roundtrip between Los Angeles and Sydney in Virgin Australia business class will run you 80,000 Elevate points, though there are $926 in taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges on the ticket
So the values aren't bad in terms of the number of points required, but the fuel surcharges sting.
Bottom line on Virgin America transfer bonus
For a bit of context, Membership Rewards offered a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin America last April, a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin America last January, a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin America the previous September, and even a 50% transfer bonus earlier that year.
Overall unless you have a specific redemption in mind I don't find this transfer bonus to be especially compelling. I think the most compelling way to use points through this promotion is towards the cost of a Virgin America ticket, since each Membership Rewards point will get you ~1.5 cents towards the cost of a ticket. If you're points rich and cash poor or don't value your points as much as I do, that's not a bad redemption rate.
Still, there are definitely better uses of Membership Rewards points than Virgin America Elevate transfers, and there have been marginally better transfer bonuses in the past.

A month after police appealed for fresh information about a man whose disappearance eight years ago sparked speculation he had faked his own death, detectives now think it's "more than likely" he's dead.
Queenstown police have received no new sightings or leads into the mysterious 2008 disappearance of Matthew Alexander Hamill.
Cops say they're keeping an open mind, but given the appeal attracted no new information, Detective Matt Jones told the New Zealand Herald: "It is considered more than likely that he is in fact deceased.
"Next of kin and friends of Mr Hamill have been contacted as a matter of course."
Hamill, who would now be 65 years old, was last seen in the Frankton area of Queenstown on the afternoon of October 29, 2008.
His Mitsubishi vehicle was found the following day at a lookout point on State Highway 8 at Cromwell.
Inside the car was a note indicating Hamill intended to take his own life.
Some of Hamill's personal belongings were also found at the Roaring Meg lookout and down a steep bank near his vehicle, leading down to the Kawarau River.
But Hamill's body was never found.
Police reopened their missing persons case in December 2009, just over a year after Hamill's disappearance, saying they were not convinced he was dead.
Now, police believe his disappearance is not thought to be suspicious and that evidence located at the time suggests that he intended to take his own life.
There has been no activity on Hamill's bank or internet accounts since his disappearance, police confirm.
Police inquiries found Hamill appeared to make regular transactions at Oamaru and also had ties in Auckland and overseas in Vietnam.
Interpol has been helping with overseas inquiries, and a border alert remains in place, Jones says.
David Onions — the general manager of Millbrook, the resort near Arrowtown where Hamill worked as the food and beverage purchase manager for two years — said at the time there was "absolutely nothing" to suggest Hamill was alive.
"The family consider Matthew missing presumed dead and they don't want to reopen the whole matter," he said.
"The conjecture seems to be because no body was found, but the reality is they don't always appear."
Hamill was born in Northern Ireland and had a tattoo of a black and green turtle on his right shoulder. He left his homeland at a young age and was well-travelled, including time spent in Canada.
He was survived by several children from more than two partners.
Despite the lack of leads, Queenstown police say they are still interested to hear from "anyone who has information regarding Mr Hamill's disappearance and anyone who believed they may have sighted Mr Hamill" after October 30, 2008.
Anyone with information can contact Queenstown Police on 03 441 1600, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Journal Title
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B
Publication Date
We report the fabrication of lateral pnp bipolar transistors using focused ion beam (FIB) implants of boron and phosphorus for the collector and base, respectively. The implants of B+, P+, and P+ + were all at a dose of 1×1013 /cm2 and a beam voltage of 75 kV. These implants defined spaces between the emitter and collector regions of 0.5–1.50 μm; which, after diffusion and zero voltage depletion width effects were considered, produced effective on‐wafer device basewidths of ∼0.2 μm. For the best devices, values of hFE near 100 were obtained with good junction characteristics and at peak collector currents of 10 μA/μm of device width.

English translation of Voice of America article and broadcast about Teach North Korean Refugees.
* * *
[News Scenery] American co-founder provides free English education for North Korean refugees
This is News Scenery Today, reporting the hot topics of the week every Tuesday. There is an organization that provides free English classes to North Korean defectors. It was established by an American living in South Korea, who wanted to offer English education tailored to refugee needs. Jang Yang-hee reports the story.
We have seen quite a few North Korean refugees telling the world, in fluent English, about the human rights situation in North Korea.
Park Yeon-mi, a famous North Korean refugee, recently published her book "In Order to Live" in English. "A Thousand Miles to Freedom" is another piece of literature written in English by a North Korean defector.
In 2013, North Korean refugee Lee Sung-min appeared on C-TV, the most popular Canadian broadcast, to let the world know about the human rights situation in the DPRK. He was recently accepted to Columbia University, one of the most prominent schools in the United States.
These outstanding world citizens' achievements can be attributed to the fine work of TNKR in South Korea.
TNKR stands for "Teach North Korean Refugees." The non-profit private organization was first established in 2013 to teach English to North Korean refugees.
TNKR's headquarters are based in Itaewon, Seoul. The organization's main function is to connect refugees with native English speakers.
The co-founder of TNKR is Casey Lartigue. He studied education at Harvard and later became a human rights activist.
Mr. Lartigue told the VOA the story of how his organization was established.
In 2013, he heard Lee Hyun-seo's speech at TED, and was deeply moved. Lee was one of the first North Korean refugees to talk about the horrifying human rights situation in the DPRK on the international stage.
Mr. Lartigue took part in the 2012 hunger-strike aimed at stopping the Chinese government from forcibly sending North Korean defectors back to the DPRK. Professor Park Sun-young, a former member of the ROK national assembly, was also at the protest. She later invited Mr. Lartigue to work with the Mulmangcho (a flower, meaning "forget-me-not") School where Professor Park Sun-young was the director of the board.
He met Lee Eunkoo, a North Korean Studies researcher. After several long discussions, they established the TNKR organization.
Mr. Lartigue explained what they do at TNKR.
"In South Korea, if you cannot understand at least… if you cannot achieve English at a certain level, then it's hard to get a job."
He said it's hard to get a job in South Korea if one does not speak sufficient English, so learning English allows the refugees to empower themselves here.
There are currently 180 North Korean refugees learning English through TNKR. They are all taught by volunteer teachers in one-on-one sessions.
There are 300 volunteer teachers in the organization, and each student meets with 3 teachers on average. However, they can learn from as many teachers as they choose.
Park Yeon-mi studied hard for 8 months, learning from 18 volunteer teachers.
Mr. Lartigue says the key to the NGO's success is to let the students choose their own teachers from a pool of volunteers. This is because each teacher's strengths vary between grammar, speaking, being inspirational, etc.
The organization reduces the burden on each volunteer, and provides a network of social bonds to the refugees.
Mr. Lartigue explained the TNKR method of checking the history and expertise of each volunteer before introducing them to the refugees.
"…to decide their own way of studying. Track 1 is called finding my own way, so we don't tell them what they should study."
According to him, Track 1 consists of two parts – conversational speaking and public speaking.
Ken Eom, 35, defected from the DPRK in 2010. He is currently working at a publishing house in ROK, and has been studying with TNKR tutors since last March.
Ken told the VOA that Track 2 classes have been especially helpful.
"The Track 2 course begins with speaking to the audience about my own story. Public speaking is fundamentally different from general conversation, so I learned a lot of new vocabulary and sentence structures. I also benefited greatly from learning how to speak to real people," said Ken.
Ken said he met with teachers from all around the world – from Australia, the U.S., and New Zealand.
Another refugee we interviewed, Sharon, is turning 25 this year. She found out about TNKR through an online social network and joined the organization last March. It has now been 6 months, and she says that not only has her English improved, but she is far more confident when speaking in front of a crowd. For her, she says, this was the biggest gain.
"Confidence is what I got from taking these classes. I was very much self-conscious about my English pronunciation, and that made me nervous and hindered my performance. Also, I hadn't been in South Korea for that long, and I didn't talk much, not even with Koreans. Now, I guess I am a lot more confident."
Sharon said she had been on the wait-list for 3 months, but it was very much worth the wait. "We can choose our own teacher, our own time and place to learn English, so it is a great opportunity to get better if you try."
Right now there are about 50 refugees on the wait-list to learn English with TNKR. Among those names, top priority students who are connected with teachers first are orphans, victims of human trafficking, and persons under the age of 25.
"Knowledge is power," Mr. Lartigue says to encourage the refugees. "If you want to influence others, grab the opportunity to learn." For some of the refugees, he said, it was the first time they ever received a proper education. He feels sad that the DPRK does not provide education for all.
TNKR activities rely solely on private donations. Mr. Lartigue expressed his gratitude to the volunteers who work for free. He adds that the reason he and others do not give up on helping refugees is because they know how important it is.

Author of The Zeroes to Speak at Scarsdale Library
- On Our Minds
- Published: Monday, 20 September 2010 13:59
Friends of the Scarsdale Library are proud to present author Randall Lane who will speak on his bestseller, The Zeroes on Tuesday, October 5 at 8 pm in Scott Room.
What Liar's Poker was for the 1980s, The Zeroes is to the first decade of the new century: an insider's memoir of a gilded era when Wall Street went insane-and took the rest of us down with it.
Randall Lane never set out to become a Wall Street power broker. But during the decade he calls "the Zeroes," he co-founded a small magazine company that put him near the white-hot center of the biggest boom in history. Almost by accident, a man who drove a beat-up Subaru and lived in a rented walk-up became the go-to guy for big shots with nine-figure incomes.
Lane's saga began with a simple idea: a glossy magazine exclusively for and about traders, which would treat them like rock stars and entice them to splurge on luxury goods. Trader Monthly was an instant hit around the world.
Before long, Wall Street's rich and powerful trusted Lane as a fellow insider-the guy who could turn an anonymous trader into a cover model and media darling. And the rest of the world sought him out as a way to tap into Wall Street's riches. As he emptied his bank account to help keep his little company afloat, he became a nexus for the absurd; traders who turned 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina into multi-million-dollar windfalls, Al Gore, John Travolta, Peter Max. corrupt Caribbean rulers, the mobsters from Goodfellas, and the Pope. Plus Lenny Dykstra, the retired baseball star turned market guru, whose rise and fall was a great metaphor for the decade. All played roles in Lane's surreal world.
Hear Randall Lane's story, FREE at the Scarsdale Public Library on Tuesday October 5 at 8 pm.

I was reading one of our new notice boards along the new walkway in Pier Road, Littlehampton, beside the river, about the history of the river mouth.
At the base of the board, it stated that the sea and river were frozen in the years 1907 and 1962/63, but there was no mention of 1947.
I wondered if 1907 was a misprint, or why our local historians had failed to add 1947, as it was probably one of the worst winters on record. I was born in Pier Road in 1947 and although I was only a baby, I do know for a fact that the river was frozen over that year.
On a more positive note, I think the new work along the river is fantastic and congratulations to all involved.

About me
My name is Marius Flagstad.
I am 33 years old, and I live in the cold place up north called Norway together with all the polar bears.
I am a programmer by trade and love working with scripts and code. I also love learning new stuff, and have over the years picked up a good deal of other skills to use in my regular work day (like: photoshop, automation, 3D modeling).
I have a Bachelor degree in "Datateknikk" or Computer Science from Narvik, Norway. There I learned a lot of different coding languages that I still use today, and also (maybe the most important part) the passion for programming. My courses there was focusing on learning how to create games. This gave us a deep understanding on programming, while also having fun in the process .
My plan when I started the Bachelor was to become a game developer. But as I got more experienced with the actual technology, work environment, work schedules and payment involved in creating a game I found out that I should rather change my focus.
I was fortunate to also have a love for creating websites. And I therefor decided in 2008 to give it my 100% focus and passion to become a top level webdeveloper
If I where to describe myself as a programmer I it would probably be something like:
- Passionate programmer regarding my work and spare time projects
- Problem solver that don't give up
- Love to challenge myself and learn new stuff.
- Strive to deliver quality
- Have a "Yes!" attitude, and don't look at tings as a "problem" until I have tried to solve it
- Tries to work as self contained as possible since I want to master what I am doing. If I don't understand something I need to study it more, not ask for help.
It's not a second job, and if I don't feel like working on them for a long time I don't mind. This is also the reason I created this website, so it would be easier to start/stop when I feel like it and get to the finish line slow and steady.
I also like to brew home brewed beer on a pretty serious level. I have currently been brewing for over 7 year and are starting to have quite a few batches on my experience.
All the recipes I use are created by myself and I use the brewing method called "Brew in a bag"
My beer label is called FlagCity Brew and the website can be found here.

cannot miss
I got a text from a friend this morning. She said she woke up praying for me. She prayed Psalm 139 over me. I felt thankful for her words.
Then in the shower I tweaked my back. One side of my body is doing all the work. That side revolted today.
I had no idea how much I needed her words today, her prayers, the encouragement. How encouraging that these were provided before my need hit, before my back went out. She said to me, "You cannot miss what God has for you in this." What a relief! My sheep brain is very apt to miss something. But not what God wants me to see. I cannot miss it.
Today I am weak. I have fallen in the pit several times. Today I needed to hear that God has me. He holds me. In fact, I cannot flee from His Presence.
And He provided just that. Today.

Good morning Runner,
I heard you behind me long before you yelled LEFT , by the way didn't anyone ever tell you to not interrupt while someone else was speaking? Ok, continue Mr Cardinal with what you were saying to me.
You couldn't hear him with your ear buds in and Kid Rock blaring in your brain at 0630 this morning, I understand.
Honestly, I am envious for a moment as you glide by me and run ahead of me, with your beautiful legs and thin waist , your toned arms, the way your back and your knees still carry you with such grace. Mine doesn't , my knees pop and grind and my back shoots a debilitating pain through my entire body if I move it in a certain direction…so I walk now.
I used to run, although never literally- : when I was five I was playing Batman and Robin with my neighborhood friends when while sliding down the post of the slide my hands let loose and I landed with all my weight on my left foot, I didn't weigh much back then but still carried the perfect amount when landing on a twisted ankle to shatter that ankle and break just about every other bone in that foot.
About six months after getting my year-long cast off I was playing don't fall in the water with my brother, it was a game we played where the floor was the water and there were sharks in it so you balanced on the arm of the couch and if you fell in you were subsequently eaten by the great white sharks below. ( It was the 70's , you can't find these games anywhere anymore)
I fell in . the sharks got my ankle again. My mother didn't believe me when I told her I thought I broke my foot again….until 2 months later when we had it checked again and the x-ray showed I had re-broken it and the bone grew back wrong.
Anyway, back to my being envious of you this morning Dear Runner: I used to run through life, hurry here, hurry there, when the kids were in school and I worked full time, those crazy days- NOW.. I carry a few more pounds on me these days, from a few more glorious nights of sitting on my deck with a Dairy Queen blizzard watching the sun go down.
My kids are grown and gone, my house empty but for me. Except for the occasional overnight with my Granddaughters , which by the way leave me resting for longer periods after they leave than the actual time spent with them. My days of running through life are far behind me.
I get to walk through it now, at my own pace- not ruled by anyone else's clock or needs or wants.
I get to bask in the silence of what used to hold continuous noise.
I wanted to tell you what you missed when you ran by me on your mad dash to wherever it was you were going this morning.
- You missed the way sun shimmered on the lake as it was just coming to greet the day.
- You missed the little green frog hiding in the leaf.
- You missed the way that tree curved perfectly over the trail like an umbrella.
- You missed that stunning red cardinal perched on that tree branch singing his morning song.
- You missed the way the insects hit the lake and then caused these tiny million little ripples in the water.
- You missed three generations of men in a canoe fishing in silence but never so bound to each other in that moment.
- You missed the hawk glide over that golden field
- You missed the sound of someone practicing their flute coming from an open window.
- You missed the elderly couple sitting on their front porch surrounded by flowers and sun catchers , the sound of the wind chime, drinking their coffee, reading the Sunday paper.
I miss the days my body would still carry me like yours does, your lean physique, your bursts of energy.
But I love my walking days now , its okay that my body pops and creeks , my hips hold a few more pounds, my arms are starting to sag. This vessel of a body has earned it, it has carried me far and I have broken and abused it, so I respect it now for what it is , it's limitations and it's bruises .
I can still walk, and in the slow methodical sound of my feet hitting the trail, I am thankful for this slowing down, breathing in, breathing out, listening, taking in , appreciating the slower pace of a once upon a time runner.

Now that am comfortable in Unity3D, I thought I would talk about getting started. I won't be detailing each and every step. There are many great tutorials out there and which ones you chose will be based on what you want to do.
Getting started:
- Get Unity3D duh! When you download it will ask you what platforms you want to get the modules for. You can download them later, but just FYI you might want to know basically what you are developing for to begin with. I chose iOS, Android, PC, and Xbox.
- Get started with some of the great Unity Tutorials. There are a variety, so choose it based on what pieces you want to learn about. I would focus on the pieces not the whole presented when choosing. Follow along and don't just copy their code, really type it in and follow the tutorial. Do all the work yourself. When it comes time to build your stuff, I'll tell you the exact opposite, don't re-invent the wheel, especially free wheels. Do add spinners and fix their connectors ie. modify and adapt the code as needed.
- Design a very, like stupidly, simple scene. I won't even call it an app because that would be overselling it.
- One of my early scenes was the Ethan 3rd person controller prefab from Unity's standard assets running around collecting cube collectables I built in the roll-a-ball tutorial. In a plane and cube pen.
- Add frills to your design, things you are interested in and can learnt to do.
- I added a moving wall
- I also made a timing system till I collected X collectables
- Added in a cube that added 1 min to time if I hit the collider. I had to add a second collider to get a trigger and still have it be a solid object. But the trigger collider was a sphere that was bigger than the cube.
- Design a project with a bit more substance and keep repeating until your are comfortable with Unity3D as a program.
- Take a look at the Unity Asset Store. Play around with the free ones first so you have a better idea of how to use assets.
- Assets, as a rule, are developer tools and thus are not plug and play, even the ones that tell you they are plug and play. I have had to spend an hour on every asset getting all the error codes to resolve and getting to operate as intended. Even in their preview scenes.
- If you find an asset your really interested in, check to see if they have a free demo. If they don't have a demo, watch the tutorials, look into the documentation and review the support. Assets without good tutorials, documentation or support will not be as valuable to you as assets that knock those aspects out of the water.
- It will take time to learn the assets that truly aid you.
- I got Playmaker and spent some time going through tutorials. While playmaker is great, it is learning a whole new subprogram, so budget that time.
- Go through the demos and see how the work. Break them, or if they come broken, like my InventoryPro ones, fix them. Doing so will teach you a lot.
- Look up the tutorials and Documentation before you begin. And know that the assets will take a lot more work than they look like they will.
- Start to iteratively design of you first project. You don't have to intend to publish, so get to that 80-90% done mark.
- Do NOT try to make it perfect.
- Do NOT plan out an epic. This is just one step further than your last. It is about putting together the pieces you have been learning, you are building for your learning and fun.
- Do NOT be afraid to completely scrap your project and start from a fresh slate.
- Do SAVE all the time. BEFORE each PLAY. I have found Unity will crash mostly when you hit PLAY.
- Most importantly have fun, if your ready to hit your pretty computer, take a break and come back to it later.
That's how I learned. You know you best and what is good for me may not be good for you.
I have made a demo of my first Big project. I was making an RPG. I just focused on getting the mechanics done. At current point I am transitioning to what I really want to do, make non-gaming software. Thus the RPG is my side project for the fun of it.
Thank you for you time and I hope this has enriched your life.

From medicine to magic
By David Hennessy
A four time Olivier Award winning actress, Cork's Fiona Shaw is one of Ireland's most accomplished thespians. Part of the exciting new wave of talent to emerge from London's renowned acting school RADA (The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) that also included Jonathan Pryce, Juliet Stevenson, Alan Rickman, Anton Lesser, Kenneth Branagh and Bruce Payne, Fiona was acclaimed in 1983 for her portrayal of Julia in Richard Sheridan's The Rivals at the National Theatre. She went on to take the Olivier Award for Electra, As You Like It and The Good Person of Sichuan in 1989-90 and again for Machinal in 1994.
One of her earliest screen roles was playing Doctor Eileen Cole in My Left Foot and Fiona has gone on to become a familiar figure on our screens with notable recent roles being Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films and Marnie Stonebrook in the HBO's True Blood.
With My Left Foot freshly released on blu-ray, Fiona reflected on Jim Sheridan's debut film almost 25 years on with The Irish World: "Of course, it's such a long time ago. The year I made My Left Foot, I was performing at The Barbican, I was playing The Taming of the Shrew and a play called New Inn, and I also was doing Mary Stewart. I was absolutely flat out that year. My Left Foot was such a surprising thing, I had never really been in a film before and they asked me to do it and I was commuting between the two so I always had a leg in My Left Foot but also another leg in this other theatrical world and I used to dip into this marvellous world of the obsessional Christy Brown. It's a beautiful memory for me of having done it. It is interesting it's coming out on blu-ray and of course, it will look like a historical piece now."
Did Fiona undertake special research to play the doctor who comes into Christy Brown's life? "I did and funny enough it was based on a man, it wasn't a woman. My uncle was a doctor in Dublin, he's retired now but, my uncle knew that man on whom the part was based who had helped Christy Brown. It was fictionalised and probably rightly so because Christy was sort of surrounded by these women in his life, wasn't he? They had a huge power in his life."
My Left Foot won Oscars for Brenda Fricker and Daniel Day-Lewis as well as earning nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Was its phenomenal success unexpected for those involved? "I would say it was. It probably now doesn't appear to be because Daniel's career has been so stellar but it was a small film sort of begun on a credit card really, but it has a huge passion, its heart is in the right place, but how it caught the imagination of America, I think, stunned everybody."
The film's star has of course gone on to a record breaking three Oscar wins. Would Fiona have believed that this was ahead of him when she was working closely with a young Daniel Day-Lewis on My Left Foot? "I probably would have believed it actually. He always had three Oscars at least in him. In the theatre, I try and act with the wheels coming off but in film (there is) something about Daniel, his method which suits himself and he has spoken widely about: His ability to just sort of sandblast all the reality away except the thing that he is playing has been his invention in a way. He has invented a way of acting and he has become synonymous with it and it really is a target all the time, he subjugates himself quite remarkably and turns himself into these characters."
Daniel has accredited all his subsequent success to My Left Foot, indicating it restored his passion for the craft. Fiona has similar sentiments having now gone on to have a long and impressive screen career: "I think it did lead to other films. That same year Bob Rafelson turned up and asked to see a section of it and he offered me Mountains of the Moon. I probably should have gone to Hollywood then but I was so embroiled in my theatre, classical world which had taken off and within two years I'd done The Good Person of Sichuan at The National, Hedda Gabler at the Abbey and in the West End, Richard II: I got terribly involved in these huge international theatre pieces. Richard II went to Austria and the north of Paris, I had a very rare theatrical career which was international. I was so into that, I didn't concentrate on film in the same way for those ensuing years. But I did do Mountains of the Moon which I loved doing, that was a big film."
When The Irish World catch up with Fiona, the actress has just returned from a Broadway run of Colm Tóibín's The Testament of Mary which has seen her nominated for Outstanding Solo Performance at Outer Critics Circle Awards. "I'm sitting now in my house in London and I can't tell you the pleasure of being back in it," she says.
She is set to return to New York later in the year when her recitation of The Rime of Ancient Mariner gets its American premiere in December.: "In December I'm going to be doing The Rime of Ancient Mariner which we did in London last year and we did in Greece also last year. We did it at the Epidaurus which was just a thrilling thing to do, directed by Phyllida Lloyd (renowned theatre director and director of films such as Mamma Mia and The Iron Lady) who is just marvellous and a lovely dancer who dances it and I perform it with him so it's a beautiful thing to do actually. It was really a labour of love."
Joined onstage by a dancer, she delivers the text single-handedly, how challenging is this for her memory and stamina? "Well I did (TS Eliot's) The Waste Land [which Fiona won a Drama Desk Award for in 1996] some years ago so I knew that these things are possible. They're very hard when you set into them but they are also very basic: People love a story, audiences love to hear one voice taking them through something and so it's a very pleasurable activity because the audience listen like children. I think in that way, it's a very natural thing to do even though you have to take a bit of time to learn it obviously but it's very natural and very fulfilling. I think it's a very nice way of performing."
Would Fiona favour stage or screen work? "I think women in screen tend to be attendant characters, they tend to be the girl on the side or the girlfriend or the doctor at the edge. But in the theatre, I've been usually the protagonist and I have to say it was great, it was very rewarding to play the protagonist, to be the person who carries the evening through, who is the sort of physical focal point of the evening. That is a huge responsibility but it is what makes leading acting the thing that one wants to do. I think there's such a limit for women in film that I've been very glad the robustness of my theatre career has given me these huge roles to play."
Playing Harry's aunt in the Harry Potter films, Fiona never got to display that much sorcery. Did playing the leader of a Wiccan coven in True Blood make up for this? "It was marvellous, I loved it," she laughs. "I was always delighted to be in Harry Potter and the great thing was because I didn't have a lot of magic, I didn't have to hang around for the ions of time that it took to make the magic. We did some magic, we had the letters arriving in the early films and it was great fun to do the letters arriving into the fireplace. Also I had early times where I had to deal with owls who were outside looking at me and I was looking at them and so there was a lot of quite delicate work in that. But the people that really dealt with magic had a huge blue screen life and I didn't have to have that so I had a very steady part in Harry Potter which I really enjoyed."
For the full interview, pick up the June 8 print edition of The Irish World.
The Irish World has ten copies of My Left Foot to give away.
Freshly released on blu-ray, Jim Sheridan's debut film set Daniel Day-Lewis on the way to the record breaking three Oscars that has many referring to Day-Lewis as the greatest actor of all time. Day-Lewis collected his first Academy Award for Best Actor for My Left Foot in 1990. He was also nominated for In the Name of the Father and Gangs of New York but added to his collection with one for There Will Be Blood in 2008 and his most recent one for Lincoln this year.

WFP assessing damage at Hodeidah warehouse, Yemen
(Photo: WFP)
HODEIDAH , 01 April 2018 – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is working to establish the cause of a fire that destroyed a warehouse storing food in the Yemeni port of Hodeidah in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The fire broke out at 03:30 a.m. in a warehouse storing food commodities that are being used as part of WFP's humanitarian response to the needs of millions of Yemeni people caught up in the current conflict.
Local authorities responded to the incident immediately and used all available resources to extinguish the fire. WFP is currently assessing the extent of the damage.
Three years of conflict have pushed Yemen to the brink of famine, resulting in the world's largest hunger crisis. Every month, WFP delivers desperately needed food assistance to more than 7 million people who live in extreme hunger and do not know where their next meal is coming from.

Plant Spirit Medicine Healer Training
in Santa Cruz, CA
with Alison Gayek & Eliot Cowan
It is easy to recognize that plants offer us food, oxygen, and medicines, but less known today is that plants have spirits with wisdom to nurture and heal us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Ancient cultures and shamans have known for millennia that the medicine of plant spirits can bring us into balance and harmony, but much of this tradition has been lost in the West.
This course brings together shamanic techniques with the ancient Chinese medical philosophies of the Five Elements. As the course progresses, you will
- learn Chinese Five Element worldview
- study Pulse Taking
- practice Household Shamanism
- make direct relationship with plants through Shamanic Journeying
- engage in intensive clinical work to hone Assessment/Treatment skills
Program offered by the Blue Deer Center.
Alison Gayek has been teaching Plant Spirit Medicine with Eliot Cowan since 2002. She began studying with Eliot Cowan in 1997 and graduated from the PSM course in 1999. Since then, Alison has maintained a strong effective PSM practice.
Mr. Cowan is best known for making accessible two treasures: the indigenous Huichol shamanistic tradition of Mexico and an approach to deep healing with the spirits of plants.
Details & Pricing
Location: Vajrapani Institute for Wisdom Culture, 19950 Kings Creek Rd, Boulder Creek, CA 95006
Session 1 Cost: $2600

Sessions 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b will be long weekend programs (2 x 4-day weekends and 2 x 3 -day weekends).

These fundamental building blocks will begin to create a more complete picture of how deeply the medicine helps others and what you need to learn in order to practice it effectively.
These long weekends will be followed by three week-long advanced sessions to be held at Blue Deer Center, located in the Catskill Mountains of New York, which will unify the teachings and begin the work with clients through clinical demonstrations, giving you an opportunity to join up with other students studying the medicine. The ability to create connections and community with other students of Plant Spirit Medicine is invaluable.

'We know, by this point, that Trump is funny. Even to us leftists, horrified by his every move, he is hilarious. Someone who is all brash confidence and then outrageously incompetent at everything he does is — from an objective standpoint — comedy gold. Someone who accuses his enemies of the faults he at that very moment is portraying is comedy gold. But, strangely, as the left realized after the election, pointing out Trump was a joke was not helpful. In fact, Trump's farcical nature didn't seem to be a liability, rather, to his supporters, it was an asset.
…Trump supporters voted for the con-man, the labyrinth with no center, because the labyrinth with no center is how they feel, how they feel the world works around them. A labyrinth with no center is a perfect description of their mother's basement with a terminal to an endless array of escapist fantasy worlds…'
