Recently I've seen a lot of games stumble over the concepts of foreshadowing and layered storytelling. Even really good games. So let's talk a little bit about it.
This might be a bit rough, it's my first take.
Games have twists. At the end, in the middle, twists everywhere. All these twists have to feel like they make sense.... but they usually don't. They often feel like they "came out of nowhere".
There's usually foreshadowing: nobody simply forgets to set up the ending. They just... foreshadow badly.
The two most common kinds of bad foreshadowing are the accidental reveal and NG+shadowing.
The accidental reveal is pretty obvious: the foreshadowing is so blatant that it simply gives away the twist.
NG+shadowing is the opposite. The foreshadowing is so minuscule or unrelated that you can only see it as foreshadowing when you're playing the game a second time.
You might think we're on the hunt for goldilocks moments: foreshadowing that isn't too blatant, but isn't too subtle.
Not me. I say both those kinds of foreshadowing are misunderstanding the role of foreshadowing.
Let's get... hoity-toity.
The twists that stay with me are the ones that are thematically relevant.
Let's say we're writing a game about a main character struggling through a rough time in their life. The backdrop to this is a series of mysterious murders: our MC lives their life, notices murders happening in the background. At the end of the game, the two plot lines come together and there's... some kind of cool twist.
If you're a writer, you need to think about how these two plot lines support each other. They're not just two stories happening in the same place: both need to be stronger because the other exists.
The first instinct is to make them related physically. Our struggling MC witnesses a murder. Or is suspected of being a murderer. Or one of the friends is a suspect. Simply moosh the two plot lines together and then stitch things up. It works. Ish.
A good writer will think about more than that. We need the two to support each other thematically. The serial killing is a twisted reflection of our MC's internal struggle. The twist at the end is how the two separate or merge, and it reflects not the meanderings of the plot, but the slow syncing of the two themes.
Let's discuss and compare Life is Strange and Night in the Woods. They both have the same main character and a similarly laid-back approach to gameplay, so they're a good contrast. Since NitW is new, I put the NitW spoilers behind a spoiler block. You can skip them.
In Life is Strange, our main character has psychic powers. These help her to mask her social anxieties by allowing her to simply undo social interactions. Initially, her personal arc is about coping with or overcoming her social anxiety - perhaps with a highlight on the awkward fact that she's attracted to her childhood friend.
This arc is probably strong enough to sustain us through the whole game. Our B-plots each episode could easily integrate in. We can talk about Kate, who faces social execution due to a video of something that was not her fault. We could talk about Chloe, who has no 'social' because people keep leaving her and she's burning on a combination of deeply loyal raging and deeply bitter self-isolation.
These segments integrate well with our personal arc. Our worries about our own inadequacies and mistakes are shown as funhouse mirrors, blown out of proportion. Some segments are minor, like Victoria's cronies briefly admitting their own social worries. Some segments are major, lasting almost the whole game and providing a constant thematic companion - Chloe, in this case.
However, our personal arc doesn't require any superpowers. That story could be told with no superpowers at all.
The role of the superpowers is not to advance Max's arc. Max is responsible for advancing Max's arc. Instead, the superpowers are a mirror of Max's arc, showing in more concrete terms how Max is advancing, and giving us a simple tool to help tie other arcs to Max's own arcs. Think about it: if Max's powers reflect Max's place in her own arc, then naturally they'll be good at interacting with arcs that also reflect Max's place in her arc. Max's powers can be a needle and thread to stitch arcs together. They give us, as authors, a tool to make Max's arc feel palpable and clear.
Let's make it plain:
We start Max with the power to briefly rewind time, which we initially use mostly to let the player re-do awkward social moments. This gives us plenty of opportunities to cement both who Max is and who she wants to be. This basically represents Max's ability to consider other people, rather than just wallowing in herself: via retrying, she can consider how other people will react and plan her conversation accordingly.
That said, the limits are more important than the capabilities.
We can meddle with other people's lives, such as stepping in for Kate and Chloe. But we quickly learn that no matter what we say, there are things that can't be fixed with a few careful lines of dialog.
The arc of the powers reflects her own personal journey: she's just starting off, so she is pretty limited.
We slowly ramp up her powers to interacting with physical things. First with miraculous timing, then by being able to hold items while rewinding. In the real game, these are all mixed together... but we're talking about our own theoretical version, so we can separate things out.
This growing power reflects Max's interest in being better at peopling. The things she can't do with a snippet of dialog, she can do with physical objects.
It's very possible to use these powers to tie arcs to our current situation.
For example, the "Victoria on the stairs" puzzle, where she blocks our way until we pour paint on her. We can't convince Victoria with words, so we convince her with actions. In the game, this is one of the worst puzzles, since it makes so little sense, takes so long, and is immediately rendered pointless with another nonsense puzzle. But thematically, it's a good idea. A similar puzzle could have worked well.
For example, the Warren Gets Beat Up scene could have been replaced with a Making Warren An Accidental Badass scene. That would have felt awesome, and would have allowed us to take Warren down a self-destructive path for later use in a different arc.
If we really wanted to have it be a Victoria scene, why not have it be something that makes sense? Victoria's goons found Max's satchel, and are saying that nobody can be SURE whose satchel it is, and that they should probably go turn it in to the lost in found... in Pensacola.
Both of these puzzles are about situations dialog can't resolve. Both of them are about people who get things done beyond the reach of simple dialog, and about people who are also suffering from concerns dialog can't reach. In fact, we could get away with outright stating that as a throwaway line. Max sneaks up on Victoria and friends, hears them talk: "It's all just talk! If talking could solve everything, my mom wouldn't be in the hospital dying." Etc, etc.
This section of Max's arc could culminate in the second episode, when Kate tries to commit suicide. In canon, this situation is beyond Max's powers of time control, and represents a chance for Max to step up and personally resolve the situation without relying on "cheats" - proving that she no longer needs them. It represents Max closing the circle: dialog spoken from the heart is powerful enough to do what her carefully calculated superpower dialog could not do. Max has outgrown her powers.
In canon, Max's arc changes from social anxiety to heroism. More specifically, the theme becomes "how far will you go to stay with someone you love", which is also a very potent arc. I have no problem with this arc change, because it builds off of Max's earlier arc in an organic way and is completely believable.
Unfortunately, the arc doesn't follow through: the author clearly didn't think it out well enough, and the story devolves into a macabre serial killer dream. While the individual elements are written well, they don't thematically tie in with either of Max's arcs, and the whole thing falls apart. The finale does drag it back around, but only after hours of serial killer nonsense actively detracted from it.
That weird serial killer sequence? It was a twist that came out of nowhere.
It was foreshadowed, but it still felt awkward and forced, because the themes didn't line up.
Creating gameplay based on your theming is a powerful tool for a lot of reasons. First, it gives you a great lead: no matter what you're trying to do in the game world, you know how it should feel and what it should be about, so it's much easier to develop. Second, it draws the player in and keeps them in.
We can craft moments of triumph and pain that work within our arc - either our social anxiety or our heroism. Finding that Rachel died and watching Chloe crumple will gut us either way, but subtle highlights on Max's reaction will tell us whether Max is struggling to support Chloe or rescue Chloe. Those are very different feelings and players will pick up on it, especially as Max's subsequent actions struggle to do one of those things specifically. IE, are we trying to go back in time to rescue Rachel? How about to prevent Chloe from meeting Rachel? How about just supporting Chloe with hugs, pot, and ice cream? How about taking advantage of Chloe to bind her to you emotionally? All of these are valid paths which support different arcs in different ways, and develop Max in different, interesting directions.
Which direction you choose is guided by what path you want to take. And, at the end of the game, the ending sequence will be about resolving that mess.
The canon ending is: sacrifice the town for Chloe, or visa-versa?
However, there are other, equally powerful possible endings. For example: wipe yourself out of existence. Chloe's dad wasn't there cooking lunch for you, never died. Choose which of two or three Chloes is "real", and face down your nightmares of the other Chloes - it's even worse because they forgive you. Rewrite history so many times that there is no "real" Chloe, only your Frankenstein's Chloe made up of a hundred different pasts stamped together with superglue.
Those are all "heroism" endings, but there are just as many "social anxiety" endings. Solve Chloe's problems, or let her work through them? Leave Chloe straight, or just tweak reality slightly so she's your love interest? Etc, etc.
Knowing our goal allows us to build up a path towards it, choosing gameplay, puzzles, B-arcs, and supporting cast that highlight our journey. Usually this is about building up Max's vector until it is out of control, then simply pointing out that it's out of control.
I say "vector" deliberately. This isn't about letting Max use her power to stop a serial killer or whatever. That's not part of either of these personal arcs.
Technically, sure her powers are being used. But not in a way that reflects her personal journey. It's just out of desperation - and live-or-die desperation isn't part of her personal arc, not unless it's on someone else's behalf.
The serial killer arc could have worked if Chloe was the captured victim - Chloe ran off to check the grave without you, and she was gone when you arrived. It would have been interesting to let Max go off the rails trying to rescue Chloe from ever-earlier points in time, watching reality disintegrate.
But I still hold that a serial killer wasn't even needed. Max's powers are the serial killer. Jefferson's role could easily have been to narrate Max's fall from innocence in a much less murdery way, by simply being a smooth-talking pervert. This would have been useful in the part of Max's social anxiety arc where she learns that she can't really know someone by simply collecting their responses.
In the end, Max choosing whether to sacrifice Chloe or the town only makes sense if Max's arc is "Chloe and I will be together at all costs". And that can be established best by creating this universal, stitched-together flow.
That's the best kind of foreshadowing and layered storytelling to me. The two episodes spent on serial killer stuff weren't stitched in properly, and that was the game's clearest failing... despite the fact that it was technically both foreshadowed and layered.
What I'm saying is all of the B-arcs, puzzles, and twists should come out of their thematic connections to the core arc.
Now, how about Night in the Woods?
Night in the Woods is really good and the same length as Life is Strange, go play it instead of reading spoilers!
Well I loooove spoilers! Click here to spoil NitW!
Just foreshadowing doesn't make something feel like it belongs.

The house Laureen has a Generous space and through the many windows and Schiebetuerelemente very bright and friendly. On the ground floor there is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area in front of it, and the living room with lots of cozy seating and TV. In addition, the ground floor are 3 sleeping rooms including bathrooms. In the upper part are a further 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a small open gallery. All premises are equipped with air conditioning. In a utility room you will find washing machine, dryer and freezer.
All around is a spacious veranda so you can always find a sunny or shady but also windgeschuetztes Plaetzchen. The house is situated on the best beach on the island, the small offshore islands offer a protected bay. With the beautiful palm trees and the turquoise water you think you had landed in paradise.
If you want to arrive with several families or larger numbers of people have the ability to view the object with the number 2012570 (Sunshine Villa) to book it.
It's a wonderful and breathtaking location. You won't forget the time which you spend here.
We just returned from a two week family vacation in Great Harbor. It is without a doubt a great place to spend a restful and peaceful vacation.
The house location in front of a beatiful beach is one of its greatest assets.
We strongly reccomend this house if you are looking for an undiscovered Jewell.
We walked in the door and immediately felt at home here. We were 11 adults, including 2 people in their mid-80s, and this place was perfect. The house is big and well designed, so it didn't feel at all crowded. We were able to spread out inside and out, with a lovely view of and easy access to one of the most beautiful beaches we'd ever seen. This location is definitely off the beaten tourist path (which is always our preference), so it's quiet, with few people around. The owner was very welcoming and helpful, and we really enjoyed getting to know her a bit. The island residents are among the friendliest people I've ever encountered. Grocery shopping on the island is expensive and pretty limited, with very few fresh fruit and vegetables available, so you'd be well advised to pick up what you can before you leave the bigger islands. We did manage to prepare numerous wonderful meals with what we found in the stores and a bit of culinary ingenuity, though, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beer, wine, and liquor were readily available on the island. Great Harbour Cay is not the place to go for really good snorkeling, but if you want to just hang out on a gorgeous, quiet beach and have a beautiful place in which to relax when the day's over, this lovely home is perfect.
This was a wonderful home. Very comfortable and perfect for a relaxing family vacation. The beach was awesome. The owner couldn't of been more welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
Six of us recently stayed in this beautiful rental home in Great Harbour Cay. We are all retired people, aged 60 and over who occupied the home for the month of February. We engaged in lots of activity during our stay including bone-fishing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, beach walking/combing, bicycling and watercolour painting. The island and surrounding small cays could not be better for all of those activities. The house was perfect for us and the best of several that we have rented throughout the Bahamian islands. It is very close to the airport and the town of Bullocks harbour and near two of the islands only restaurants. The house is spacious, modern and well-kept with a good kitchen and laundry. There are three bathrooms, so each couple enjoyed a private bedroom and bath. There is also an upstairs loft that offers more beds in the open space that we did not use. There are overhead fans and air-conditioning available when needed. Doors and windows are screened. Perhaps the best feature is that it is situated only a few steps off a truly spectacular white sand beach that stretches in each direction for miles. The waterfront is sheltered by outer cays, so it is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There is an ample veranda stretching around the home and lots of outdoor furniture, taps for rinsing off sand, a good barbeque. The owners live in the house next door and it was wonderful for us to have them there for part of our stay as they are warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. The island boasts spectacular natural beauty but the island has known better times, so there is lots of evidence of neglect elsewhere on the island, with poor infrastructure. For example, there were frequent, fortunately brief, interruptions in power and no cell or internet service for the last ten days of our stay as the islands tower had collapsed, which was probably a rare event. Mail boat delivery of fresh vegetables and fruit to the local stores was unreliable, so it is best to bring groceries. The Puetter's well maintained homes and garden stands as a functional oasis on a somewhat derelict but physically beautiful island of Great Harbour Quay.
Our family goes to Great Harbor Cay for our family reunion every year, for the past 15 years. We have rented this home since 2007 and we absolutely love it. We truly think of this home as our home away from home. The house is modern, well maintained and located on the most bueatiful beach in the world. The beach is less than 50 yards down the path, right out the back door. Walk down to enjoy the most bueatiful white sands and turquoise waters you can possibly imagine. Great Harbor Cay is a great place to explore to see some of the most bueatiful, unspoiled natural settings of any island in the Bahamas. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are spectacular. The owners are wonderful people that go out of thier way to make sure that the house is pristine for your stay so you can totally unwind, relax and enjoy. I highly recommend this home to a large family or group that wants to stay at a home that has modern amenities, located in paradise.
Are located nearby is the marina. There you can rent boats with or without captain for bone fish or many other sports. The Beach Club you can take breakfast and lunch. In addition, other bars and restaurants to be found with multifold food on the island. The uninhabited offshore islets with the sometimes rocky sections provide a paradise for snorkelers and divers.

C-Beam Prefab Untitled
The C-Beam Prefab Untitled is designed as the cartesian compliment to the C-Beam XL. With the exception of requiring a couple more 1000mm C-Beams and lead screws, the build requires a minimum of additional parts. The primary intention of the build is to maximize the cutting envelope while still staying within the sweet spot for C-beam rigidity. This design can easily be modified and allows for further custom structural components to be cut with the initial build platform.

C-Beam Machine - MyFirstCNC
This is my first foray into CNC machines, after much review I decided on the C-Beam machine as it seemed easy to work with and will enabled me to build more and larger machines as I gain knowledge. I am planning on building the machine largely unmodified from the reference design. I will be building the machine an axis at a time as I need to spread out costs over time.

This CNC utilizes the C-BEAM extruded aluminum for the "X", "Y", and "Z" axis. The gantry will move similar to the OX along with the "Z" except I am incorporating the C-BEAM instead of the 20x60 V-RAIL. To make the system as strong as possible I am using two C-BEAM rails back to back. The "Y" axis will encompass two sets of roller on both side of the C-BEAM extruded rails for added strength. All of the plates for this were created using the C-BEAM machine I completed several month ago.

Neil Harbisson (born 27 July 1984) is a Catalan-raised, British-born[14] avant-garde artist and cyborg activist based in New York City.[15] He is best known for being the first person in the world with an antenna implanted in his skull[16] and for being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government.[17] His antenna uses audible vibrations in his skull to report information to him. This includes measurements of electromagnetic radiation, phone calls, music, as well as video or images which are translated into sound.[18] His wifi enabled antenna also allows him to receive signals and data from satellites.[19]
Since 2004, international media has described him as the world's first cyborg[20] or the world's first cyborg artist,[21] for expressing himself artistically through a new sense created by the permanent union between electronic components and his brain. In 2010, he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation, an international organisation that defends cyborg rights, promotes cyborgism as an art movement and supports people who want to become cyborgs.[22] In 2015 he co-founded Cyborg Nest,[23] a company that creates artificial senses to extend the perception of reality.[24]
Early life and career[edit]
Harbisson is the son of a Catalan mother and a Northern Irish father.[25] He was born with an extreme form of colour blindness that results in his seeing in grayscale. He grew up in Mataró in Catalonia, Spain, where he studied music and art[26] at various schools.[27] He began to compose piano pieces at the age of 11[28] and, at 16, began studying fine art at the Institut Alexandre Satorras, where he was given special permission to use no colour in his work. His early works are all in black and white[29] and these were the only colours he used to wear.[30]
At the age of 18, Harbisson climbed a tree in Mataró to save three trees from being felled.[31] He lived in the tree for several days,[32] supported by over 3,000 people who signed a petition to maintain the trees.[33] After days of protest, the city hall announced the trees would not be cut.[34] At the age of 19, he moved to England to study music composition at Dartington College of Arts.[35]
Cyborg Antenna: In 2003 Harbisson started a project at Dartington College of Arts with Adam Montandon to develop a sensor that transposed colour frequencies into sound frequencies.[36] Neil memorised the sound of each colour and decided to permanently attach the sensor to his head.[37] Peter Kese, upgraded the sensor to 360 microtones and added volume levels depending on colour saturation levels[38] and Matias Lizana, developed the sensor's software into a smaller chip.[39] The antenna implant was rejected by bioethical committees, which is why it was implanted by anonymous doctors.[40] Harbisson's antenna, which has been permanently attached to his head since 2004, is osseointegrated inside his skull and sprouts from within his occipital bone. It allows him to hear the light frequencies of the spectrum including invisible colours such as infrared and ultraviolet. The antenna consists of two antenna implants, one vibration/sound implant, and a Bluetooth implant that allows him to connect to the internet and therefore receive colours from satellites and other people's cameras, as well as receive phone calls directly into his skull. [21]
Cyborg passport: In 2004, Harbisson was not allowed to renew his UK passport because his passport photo was rejected. The UK Passport Office would not allow Harbisson to appear with electronic equipment on his head. Harbisson wrote back insisting that the antenna should be considered part of his body as he had become a cyborg. Letters from his doctor, friends and his college were sent to the passport office to give him support. After weeks of correspondence Harbisson's antenna was included.[41] Harbisson states that he became a cyborg when the union between his organism and his antenna created a new sense.[42]
There are currently five people in the world who are allowed to send him images, sounds or videos.[43] The first person to call his head was Ruby Wax.[44] The first public demonstration of a skull transmitted image was broadcast live on Al Jazeera's chat show The Stream. The image, a selfie sent from New York by model Isaac Dean Weber, was received and identified by Harbisson as a face.[45] In 2011 the antenna was damaged by police who believed that Harbisson had been filming them during a demonstration in Plaça de Catalunya, Barcelona.[46][47] Harbisson filed a complaint of physical aggression, as he considers the antenna to be a body part.[48]
Harbisson's art work has been ranked together with the works of Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovic as one of the 10 most shocking art performances ever.[50] His work is focused on the creation of new senses and the creation of external art works through these new senses.[51] His main works have been exhibited during the 54th Venice Biennale[52] at Palazzo Foscari (Giudecca 795),[53] Savina Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul),[54] Museumsquartier (Vienna), CCCB (Barcelona),[55] Bankside Gallery (London), Pioneer Works (New York City),[56] Royal College of Art Gallery (London), Centre d'Art Santa Mònica (Barcelona),[57] Pollock Gallery (Dallas),[58] and at the American Visionary Art Museum (Baltimore),[59] among others.[60][61]
- Performances: Harbisson's first performance as a cyborg was Piano Concerto No. 1, in which he painted a Steinway & Sons grand piano with different colour paints and used his antenna to play the frequencies of the colours. With his next composition, the Pianoborg Concerto, the piano was prepared by attaching a computer to the underside, and positioning an antenna above the keys. When a colour was shown to the antenna, the computer picked up the frequency and relayed this to the piano, which then played the corresponding note. Neil said, "The piano is playing the pianist."[62]
- Audio: Harbisson has created a series of audio files from the colours of celebrity faces. Each face creates a unique micro tone chord depending on its colours. To create the sound portrait Harbisson stands in front of the person and points his antenna at different parts of the face, he then writes down the different notes he hears and later creates a sound file. Since 2004, he has created live portraits of, among others, Prince Charles, Woody Allen,[63] Antoni Tàpies, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dame Judi Dench,[64] Moby, James Cameron, Peter Brook, Al Gore, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Macy Gray, Gael García Bernal,[65] Alfonso Cuarón, Ryoji Ikeda, Gabriel Byrne,[66] Steve Reich,[67] Nicole Kidman, Dame Evelyn Glennie,[68] Steve Wozniak,[69] Tracey Emin and Giorgio Moroder.[70]
- Paintings: Hearing colour also means that everyday sounds, such as voices or music, become associated with colours too.[71] Colour Scores are a series of paintings where Harbisson paints what he hears, from music to speeches.[72] In 2007, Harbisson hitch-hiked around Europe to find the main colours of capital cities,[73] visiting more than 50 countries.[74] He scanned each capital until he was able represent each city with two dominant hues.[75] In Monaco, it was azure and salmon pink; in Bratislava it was yellow and turquoise; and in Andorra it was dark green and fuchsia.[76] Under the title Capital Colors of Europe Harbisson has exhibited the colours of each capital in several European galleries[77] including Spain, Andorra, UK, and Croatia.[78]
- Studies: In 2009 Harbisson published the Human Color Wheel based on the hue and light detected on hundreds of human skins from 2004 to 2009.[42] Harbisson states that humans are not black or white, humans are orange. Human skins range from very light to very dark shades of orange-red to orange-yellow.[79]
Harbisson is in the cast of Adam Green's Aladdin, an independent film directed by Adam Green and starred by Macaulay Culkin, Natasha Lyonne, Alia Shawkat and Francesco Clemente among others.[80]
Harbisson has collaborated extensively with Catalan choreographer Moon Ribas in a series of devised theatre and dance performances such as Opus No.1, premiered at London's BAC Theatre, The Sound of the Orange Tree,[81] premiered at Barcelona's Antic Teatre[82] and Walking Colours.[83]
Harbisson's first colour-to-voice performances were in collaboration with Icelandic musician María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir. In their performances, María used a computer to hear and sing the colour frequencies that Harbisson used while creating live paintings on stage.[84]
Harbisson has collaborated and performed with Catalan musician Pau Riba with whom he shares the same interest in cyborgs.[85] They first performed at Sala Luz de Gas (Barcelona), followed by other performances.[86][87] One of their projects is Avigram, a structure of 12 strings, one string for each semitone in an octave, installed on a roof of a farm. The installation is recorded 24 hours a day and a melody is being created depending on which strings birds decide to rest on.[88]
Harbisson has contributed significantly to the public awareness of cyborgs, transpecies, artificial senses and human evolution by giving regular public lectures at universities, conferences and LAN parties sometimes to an audience of thousands.[89] He has taken part in science, music, fashion and art festivals such as the British Science Festival,[90] TEDGlobal,[91] London Fashion Week,[92] Sónar,[93] and NeoTokyo Festival[94] among others.[95] He has become trending topic on Twitter[96] in several occasions.[97][98][99] He has appeared on TV documentaries such as Daily Planet by Discovery Channel,[100] Documentos TV,[101] Redes; and in specific documentaries about his life such as La importància dels colors,[102] and El Ciborg dels Colors,[103] as well as on a number of chat shows including NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly,[104] Richard & Judy, Buenafuente,[105] Fantástico[106] and on the Belgian comedy show Scheire en de Schepping. He has taken part in radio programmes on New York's Public Radio International,[107] BBC World Service,[108] Cadena SER,[109] and has contributed in newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times,[110] The New Scientist,[111] Wired,[112] The Scientist,[113]The Red Bulletin,[114] Modern Painters,[38] ¡Hola!,[115] and Muy Interesante.[116]
In 2013, Cyborg Foundation[117] a short documentary film about Neil Harbisson and the Cyborg Foundation, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival's Focus Forward Filmmakers Competition.[118] Since 2014, The Sound of Colours[119] a short film about Harbisson's life, is being filmed.[120] In 2015, Hearing Colors, a black and white documentary about Harbisson in New York was chosen as a Vimeo "Staff Pick" and became the 2016 winner of New York's Tribeca Film Festival X Award.

Outsourcing and Wage Inequality in a Dynamic Product Cycle Model
This paper constructs a dynamic North-South trade model with outsourcing and endogenous innovation. Production of high quality goods is first performed in the North (Northern phase), then split between the North and the South (Outsourcing phase), and finally shifted to the South (Southern phase). This cycle is reignited whenever a Northern firm innovates a higher quality product. We find that an increase in the fraction of outsourced production raises the Northern skill premium unambiguously, while raising the Southern skill premium if and only if the skill intensity of outsourced production is higher than that of local Southern production.

The objective of this fund is to provide a high income each month. The fund will invest in bonds (a type of loan which pays interest). These bonds will have a pre-set rate of income (either set at a fixed level or varying in a pre-determined way). The bonds that the fund invests in will be at least 80% investment grade (rated as lower risk). The fund may also invest up to 20% in sub-investment grade bonds (rated as higher risk). Investment and sub-investment grade bonds are bonds that have been given a credit rating by a rating agency. Credit ratings give an indication of how likely it is that the issuer of a bond will be able to pay back interest and the loan on time. The bonds that the fund invests in may be issued by companies, governments or other public bodies anywhere in the world. The fund may use derivatives (contracts which have a value linked to the price of another asset) to: • reduce risk or cost; or • generate additional capital or income with no, or an acceptably low, level of risk. The fund may also invest in cash, deposits or other authorised investment funds. If you hold accumulation units, income from investments held by the fund (interest) will be reinvested into the value of your units. If you hold distribution units, income from investments held by the fund will be paid out to you monthly (as interest). You can buy or sell units in this fund on any working day. You need to contact us with your instruction before 12 noon. This is the time we calculate unit prices for this fund. If you contact us after 12 noon, the units will be bought or sold at the next working day's price. This fund may not be appropriate for investo rs who plan to withdraw their money within five years.

January 29, 2015 Cowboy Poetry gathering in Elko, NV. Looking forward to seeing my cowboy friends there, Paul Zarzyski, Ian Tyson, Don Edwards, Hal Cannon, Tom Russell. Will try not to eat too much of the fabulous Basque food at The Star. Will be celebrating my birthday there a day late, but better late than never! While in Elko at the Cowboy Poetry gathering, I ran into Mollie O'Brien and Rich Moore, who gave me a copy of their new album "Love Runner". Get it. Coincidentally it has three songs on it that I have recorded with other artists--"Central Square" by Tom Paxton, "Just Go" by Hal Cannon, and "Green Summertime" by Robin & Linda Williams (which I also recorded with Chris Brashear). It's one of those albums you can just put on and let it go. Mollie's voice is a thing of beauty. - J.R.

My goal is to provide you good foundations and a good understanding on the subject that you are going to learn.
In addition, I will teach you techniques that you can use in other learning activities too.
I have two masters (Physics and MBA) and I passed the dissertation defense for a PhD in Statistics.
Dario does an excellent job in explaining statistical concepts and making them clear and relatable. He is highly knowledgeable and patient.
Mr. Dario is very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He takes time to explain, and makes sure you understand before moving him. He has a deep interest in the success of the student. Thank you very much for your help!
Mr. Dario is absolutely an expert in College Stats. I was amazed at his knowledge in this area. He did not even need to review my notes to catch up on the class, he just knows everything about statistics. I had a low "C" in the class and no hope of passing the final. I made a 91 on my final and ended up with a "B" in the class.
I would consider Mr. Dario as one of the best tutors ever. Thank you Dario for your services you really took a great deal of stress off my shoulders the last two weeks of the class.
Helped me to understand how to teach myself statistics.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Learning Statistics should be an awesome experience
