I was worried about the liposuction operation. All of my worries were dispelled after meeting Dr. Gambhir. He was really patient in responding to all of my questions and concerns. I went through the surgery and was released the same day. I am really pleased with the outcome of my surgery and would suggest him to anybody seeking cosmetic surgery.
It's my pleasure to meet Dr.Gambhir. He is very nice and one of the finest in the business. He recommended the finest therapy for pigmentation, and I am really pleased with the treatment and satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Gambhir to everyone for pigmentation treatment.
One month ago, I had nose surgery. The end result was fantastic. I am very thankful to Dr. Gambhir. Highly recommended!
I had visited various cosmetic surgeons to discuss my fat problems. After consulting with Dr Gambhir, it was an easy decision to get liposuction surgery. I'm happy that I chose the right cosmetic surgeon in Delhi. I would surely recommend Dr Gambhir for Liposuction treatment.
Dr Gambhir gave my Uncle FUE hair transplant treatment. It's been 9 months now, and he is having great hair growth. It was a wonderful experience.

People are eating product that is "Not honey".
Its more of a "who done it?" real life crime documentary mixed with food sources but the first episode focuses on Honey so you might find it interesting. I like how it gives some insight into the bigger world of honey production and the import/export world.
At least check out the first episode:
With demand for honey soaring just as bees are dying off in record numbers, hidden additives, hive thefts and other shady tactics are on the rise. (55minutes)
This docuseries travels deep into the heart of the food supply chain to reveal unsavory truths and expose hidden forces that shape what we eat.
Its very interesting to see how they test for the sources of honey to make sure its not fake! Looking for pollen is old school! Imagine testing and sampling thousand of varieties:

Ungrateful Interns Sue Over Privilege of Fetching Natalie Portman's Coffee
Hollywood is the most glamorous place on earth. Except when it comes to unpaid internships: They are just as shitty there as everywhere else.
A couple guys are suing Fox Searchlight Productions, claiming they were exploited during the production of "Black Swan." Basically, they claim that the studio used them as free unpaid labor. One plaintiff found that his duties were mostly coffee-related:
One plaintiff, Alex Footman, a 2009 graduate of Wesleyan University who majored in film studies, said he worked as a production intern on "Black Swan" in New York from October 2009 to February 2010. He said his responsibilities included preparing coffee for the production office, ensuring that the coffee pot was full, taking and distributing lunch orders for the production staff, taking out the trash and cleaning the office.
But you're fetching coffee for beautiful movie stars! People would probably pay for the opportunity: Win the chance to spread cream cheese on Natalie Portman's bagel: all proceeds benefit St. Jude's children hospital. This is America, where exploiting young people via unpaid internships, thus cutting out anyone who isn't rich or well-connected, is a time-honored tradition. If you want to make money as an intern in Hollywood you'll have to draw on some old-fashioned American ingenuity and start a side-racket selling pieces of garbage you pick out of celebrities' dressing room trash on eBay.

Yet another world heritage site gets Advanced fire protection
18 May 2017
Durham Cathedral, the 1,000-year-old World Heritage Site and one of Britain's most visited buildings, is now protected by market-leading intelligent fire panels from Advanced.
Founded in 1093 and the final resting place of St Cuthbert, Durham Cathedral remains the seat of the Bishop of Durham, the fourth most senior cleric in the Church of England. As well as being the North-East home of the Magna Carta, which was taken to London during the Reformation and now makes occasional trip back to the north, the Cathedral and its environs have also featured in numerous Hollywood films including the Harry Potter franchise.
The Advanced MxPro panels specified for the Cathedral were supplied by Custom Advanced Systems Limited and installed by Expert Fire Solutions, both long term partners of Advanced. The fire system covers the entire Cathedral complex, including the new 'Open Treasure' exhibition that gives the public access to previously unseen parts of the Cathedral. It is comprised of two MxPro 5 panels, linked by fault-tolerant network cards and supplemented by a remote display terminal.
Alan Raine, Director at Expert Fire Solutions, commented: "Advanced panels are our first choice every time, combining innovation, ease-of-use and reliability. Durham Cathedral is a historic gem, but also a working ecclesiastical building with over 700,000 visitors each year, so the fire system needs to be specified to the highest level, while also fitting discretely within the fabric of the structure."
In addition to the remains of St Cuthbert, whose body was brought to the mainland from Holy Island in 875AD following Viking raids, the Cathedral is also home to the remains of St Bede, which were interred in the Galilee Chapel in 1370. Born in Jarrow around 672 AD, Bede wrote the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, and is often described as the 'Father of English History'.
Jo Hughes, Property & Facilities Manager at Durham Cathedral, said: "Durham Cathedral has played a prominent role in the history of the North East and it continues to attract visitors from around the world. Both the building itself, and priceless artefacts such as Prior Castel's Clock, deserve the best possible protection. After working closely with the installation team, we concluded that Advanced panels offered the right combination of quality, reliability and functionality required for this vital system."
MxPro is the fire industry's leading multiprotocol fire solution, offering customers a choice of two panel ranges, four detector protocols and a completely open installer network that enjoys free training and support. MxPro panels can be used in single loop, single panel format or easily configured into multi-loop, high speed, 200 panel networks covering huge areas and thousands of field devices. Advanced's legendary ease of installation and configuration and wide peripheral range make it customisable to almost any application.
Neil Parkin, Advanced Sales Manager for the North, commented: "Durham Cathedral is the latest in a long line of historic and ecclesiastical buildings to enjoy Advanced protection, including Iona Abbey in Scotland, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and Lincoln Castle, home of another copy of the Magna Carta. The Advanced panels installed in the Cathedral are renowned for their quality and reliability, which makes them ideal for a high-profile and sensitive installation such as this one."
Advanced is a world leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent fire systems. The legendary performance, quality and ease-of-use of its products sees them used in prestigious and challenging locations all over the world, from single panel installations to large multi-site networks. Advanced products include complete fire detection systems, multi-protocol fire panels, extinguishing control and fire paging systems. More details can be found on the website at www.advancedco.com

Greek and German Leaders Meet Over Debt Crisis
The World
September 27, 2011 · 1:00 PM EDT
Clark Boyd
Marco Werman
Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou arrived on Tuesday for crisis talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The issue is Greece's debt problem, which could quickly become Europe's debt problem, and potentially America's. Papandreou pleaded the case for saving Greece in a speech before German business leaders, saying a rescue plan wouldn't just keep Greece afloat. "It is an investment in a different Greece, a Greece that is confronting problems that were overlooked for decades. And I can assure you that your investment in Greece will not keep us stuck in the past. It is an investment to move Greece into the future." Greece is still waiting for officials from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank to sign off on the next cash infusion, some 10 billion dollars. The lion's share of that money would come from Germany. Speaking at the same gathering in Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel promised to give "all the assistance that is required." But she made it clear that more debt won't solve Greece's problems. "The idea that growth can only be achieved by accumulating new debts is the wrong idea," Merkel said. "It is important that we leave the way of a union of debt, and build a union of stability." Many observers say the current plans on the table to stabilize Greece and stop economic contagion from spreading aren't enough. Moreover, any rescue plan without German backing isn't really a rescue plan. "I don't think anyone is going to think anything is credible until the German government stands up and says we are ready to support all debt for all Eurozone members," said Peter Spiegel, Brussels Bureau Chief of the Financial Times. "What we're hearing from Germany is they want to push countries, like Italy and Greece, very close to edge so they can get those budgets reformed, get the restructuring they feel needs to be done in these so-called profligate countries." Peter Morici, economics professor at the University of Maryland, noted that Germany has benefited greatly from adopting the Euro. It enjoys a trade surplus and low unemployment. He added that Germany should be helping the Greeks, but instead it's giving them a hard time. "They're given lectures in Teutonic austerity and told to become more competitive," Morici said. "Essentially, the Germans are saying buck-up and march through the great depression again." It's true that the mood in Germany right now is not one of sympathy for the Greeks. An increasing number of Germans say they resent being thought of as "Europe's ATM." Johan Van Overtveldt, author of the forthcoming book The End of the Euro, said all this puts Angela Merkel in a tight spot. Her European colleagues criticize her for not doing enough to help Greece. But at the same time, he said, her coalition government suffered defeats in last month's regional elections, "which is an expression of the public sentiment that Germany is much too lax towards Greece and other countries which the Germans consider to be over-spending countries." Merkel's leadership faces a test on Thursday, when the German Parliament votes on funding for Europe's bailout fund. It is expected to pass, but not necessarily with the support of everyone in Merkel's own governing coalition.

The very first stop-over of any foreign tourist in Hanoi is always Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (translated as Temple of Literature), which reveals the Hanoians' spirit of study in the past!
Situated at the south of Thang Long citadel, is on top of the historical and beautiful sightseeings of the beautiful capital of Vietnam. Please follow us in a brief tour of exploring his beauty and deep values;
Historical meaning
Tourists, particularly the foreign ones, now flock to the site for taking a look into its profound traditional meanings of both a Confucion temple and the first university of Vietnam. Văn Miếu or Temple of Literature, known as "pagode des Corbeaux" during the period of French colonisation, was founded as a Confucian temple in 1070.
Only parts of the Văn Miếu complex date back to the earliest period, although much of the architecture dates to the Ly (1010 – 1225) and Tran (1225 – 1400) Dynasties. In 1076, Vietnam's first university, the Quốc Tử Giám (or National University), was established within this temple to educate Vietnam's mandarin class. The university functioned for more than 700 years, from 1076 to 1779, during which, 2,313 doctors graduated. Hence, the complex has been attached to the name of Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam up to now.
A beauty-spot of architectural values
This ancient Confucian sanctuary is now considered one of Hanoi's finest historical and cultural sites. "The ever special architetural style of Van Mieu dates back to the 11th century, evoking an inspiration of classical creativeness of many of us", one of my tourists remarked. Just take a look into the art of architecture, you will share the feeling! The temple is based on Confucius' birthplace at Qufu in the Chinese province of Shandong. It consists of five courtyards lined out in order, entrance to the first, via the impressive twin-tiered Van Mieu gate leads to three pathways that run through the length of the complex. The centre path was reserved for the King only, the one to its left for administrative Mandarins and the one to its right for military Mandarins.
The first two courtyards are peaceful havens of ancient trees and well-trimmed lawns where the scholars could relax away from the bustle of the city outside the thick stone walls. Entrance to the third courtyard is through the dominating Khue Van Cac (constellation of literature), a large pavilion built in 1802. Central to the this courtyard is the Thien Quang Tinh ("Well Of Heavenly Clarity"), either side of which stand two great halls which house the true treasures of the temple. These are 82 stone steles. Another 34 are believed to have been lost over the years. They sit upon stone tortoises and are inscribed with the names and birth places of 1306 men who were awarded doctorates from the triennial examinations held here at the Quoc Tu Giam ("National University") between 1484 and 1780, when the capital was moved to Hue.
The fourth courtyard is bordered on either side by great pavilions which once contained altersl of 72 of Confucius greatest students but which now contain offices, a gift shop and a small museum which contains ink wells, pens, books and personal artifacts belonging to some of the students that have studied here through the years. At the far end of the courtyard is the altar with statues of Confucius and his four closest disciples. The fifth courtyard contained the Quoc Tu Giam, Vietnam's first university founded in 1076 King Ly Can Duc, but this was destroyed by French bombing in 1947.
Though having gone through lots of restoration work, the temple still retains its very first original shape, to be one of the visit-worthy sightseeings of Hanoi, captivating to a huge number of tourists elsewhere.
A space of peace, green trees and solemnity covers the whole temple of historical and traditional love for study, making tourists feel like they were lost in a land of Confucion and traditional values. If you are in Hanoi, you should really come and explore it yourself!
Being an ancient school of Thang Long and the first university in Vietnam, Temple of Literature is acknowledged as an ancient historical-cultural heritage which gives tourists deeper understanding about Hanoi's years of culture and tradition. Tourists should definitely add the Temple of Literature to their visiting list in Hanoi. It is included in a lot of Hanoi city tours as one of the main attractions in this bustling capital city. Tourists are also advised to join Hanoi motorbike tour in half a day to explore each corner of Hanoi city, including the Temple of Literature. Coming here, tourists might see many Vietnamese students visiting the places as a ritual for good luck before they enter an important exam such as the entrance exam into college.

The Monocle Weekly: Sounds Like Branding exclusive interview
Monocle's editor in chief Tyler Brûlé and culture editor Robert Bound speak to Jakob Lusensky about the book Sounds Like Branding and the relationship between music and marketing.
Listen to the Monocle Weekly, edition 113, online or download the programme here and you'll hear Monocle's editors, amongst them Tyler Brûlé, speak with Jakob Lusensky on how music and marketing have blended together, how it has affected artists, the future for music branding, and much more (if you want to go directly to this, skip to 38:00).
About the book Sounds Like Branding
Sounds Like Branding is an 'ear-opening' journey through the history of music and marketing, from the humble jingle and the arrival of Muzak to Michael Jackson's groundbreaking association with Pepsi in the 1980s and music branding embraced today by global brands such as Nike, Starbucks, Levi's and Coca-Cola.
"Jakob Lusensky has done a great service to all marketers by writing Sounds Like Branding. Every company should have a music strategy. Some do; most don't. This book shows you how. It's a five step programme – a very short stairway to heaven."
Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi

Matthew has made a brilliant little piece of art; the way the Remain campaign should have been done.
If you are on a mobile you will have to "request desktop site" (it's always there somewhere) - it's because of the music, which is hilarious.

Music of the Mundial Final
This post studies the music used in the final of the Mundial de Tango in the years 2012-2015. I have no information about how or why the music is chosen, or whether any guidelines exist for the person or committee choosing the music. In this post I simply observe what they actually chose.
DataI compiled this data by watching the videos in this playlist. They are kindly provided by Aires de Milonga, a website I recommend; they provide these videos for nothing, but they offer additional services to those who subscribe a very small annual sum via Paypal.
Each final consists of approximately forty couples, and is divided into four Rondas. For each ronda, three tracks are played. Only tangos are used; no milonga or vals.
Over the four years, this gives a total of 3 x 4 x 4 = 48 tracks, but there are actually 49, because in the first ronda of 2013 something happens off-camera during track 3 that bumps the floor and disturbs the competitors' concentration. A fourth track is played, in the same style.
To begin with, I noted the orchestra, singer, and title of each track. I then searched for the tracks on tango.info and on YouTube until I was reasonably satisfied that I had identified them correctly.
The full data set can be downloaded here: if you notice an error, please describe it in the comments. The tracks are announced at about the 3-minute mark of each ronda, immediately after the couples do their preliminary walk around the floor so the judges can see their numbers.
Style rotationI perceived the tracks for each ronda as covering a predominantly dramatic style, a predominantly rhythmic style, and an in-between, lyrical, or other style, in no particular order. I have added these wholly subjective categorisations in the full data set. You will probably disagree with at least some of them, perhaps many. The word "Lyrical" is fairly meaningless and just refers to the in-between or mixed or melody-led style of track that isn't either of the others; often it is the track that would allow competitors to show off the technical achievement of a slow, smooth, graceful walk. I may update my classifications to make them a bit more meaningful and regular.
The use of these three broad styles in each ronda makes sense on the basis that each couple gets the chance to show off a broad range of technical and musical powers. Each ronda in each final obviously needs to be stylistically similar to the other two. I note, though, that 40 couples seems a lot for a 'final'; the naive observer might have expected to see, say, only ten different couples, and see them dance for a little longer or to a wider range of music.
OrchestrasThe orchestras used looked like this.
|Orchestras of recordings used in the final of the Mundial de Tango, 2012-2015
It seems notable to me that there is absolutely no Biagi, and absolutely no Canaro.
Given the volume and excellence of their output, if they were going to be used at all, you'd think they'd be in there somewhere, over the four years. If you were practicing for the final, and you didn't have this data, you might spend time with those guys; but it seems you'd be wrong.
It can imagine a pretty good argument for not using any Biagi. There's no reasonable substitute, so if you used, say, one of the great Biagi instrumentals in one ronda, it might seem very unfair not to use another in each of the four Rondas. Everybody needs a roughly equal chance to either shine or make fools of themselves; and that would make Biagi too prominent and would mean you had to sacrifice something else. I hypothesise that if there were a vals competition, there'd be plenty of Biagi in there.
There is already a widely-held belief that Argentinians consider Canaro a bit 'common'. Nothing in this data really supports or dispels such an idea; but they don't use any in the final. Nor do they use any of the orchestras that come to mind as stylistically similar to Canaro's most currently-popular output; Lomuto, OTV, Carabelli, Típica Porteña, etc. So it does support the idea that this style of music is not considered appropriate for competition. And again, if there were a milonga competition, we'd see Canaro.
Years of RecordingThis is what the years of recording look like.
|Year of recordings used in the final of the Mundial de Tango, 2012-2015
|Decade of recordings used in the final of the Mundial de Tango, 2012-2015
CommentaryIf you were doing well in the Mundial and you were practicing for the final, it would make a lot of sense to spend about a fifth of your time on each of D'Arienzo, Di Sarli, Pugliese, and Troilo, and the other fifth on exploring how what you have learned applies to whatever else you like among tracks that can be used as stylistic subsitutes for those four; provided that it is not Biagi, not Canaro, and not anything recorded before 1934.
You would also think about three (or more - this is very subjective) broad classifications of style, and you would focus on forming a range of improvisational habits that worked well for each style, regardless of the orchestra.
If you dance socially in Europe, it might also make sense to spend some extra time improving your dance to the 50's output. There's some support in this data for the widespread idea that the Argentinians think the Golden Age of tango music began and ended five to ten years later than the Europeans think it did. You may be less familiar with the nearly 30% of these tracks that were recorded after 1945, and you will probably have no chance to show what you can do with anything before 1935, so that experience is somewhat wasted. Being able to hit 80% of Biagi's off-beats will also be 100% useless, while being able to dance to 50's tangos generally without getting the giggles could be something you need.
Further research, or exercises for the interested readerYesterday I attended the first round of the related competition organised in London (there were 14 couples, one from the UK). You might be wondering if the pattern I've seen here was followed, or if it is followed in your own local competition, or the European competition, or anywhere else. I haven't gone through my notes yet, but the data so far says no. Despite dividing thirteen couples into a rather excessive three rondas, I don't think they followed the rotation of styles, and Pablo played both Canaro and OTV. I probably won't attend rounds 2 or 3, as it costs £25 to get in, and that adds up to a bit much, but if you feel like having something to focus on while you're there, go ahead and collect the data. It would be good to note the couple numbers in each round, too, along with your personal top six, and the results.
My guess is that no guidelines are published anywhere about the music, so the practice in local competitions is probably completely unrelated to what's done in the final. I have not tried to collect data for the semi-finals, either, and there's no reason to assume it's the same.
An interesting exercise for the reader - or for further research - would be to consider what three tracks you would use if you wanted, by observation, to identify the best dancers - by your own definition - in a room.
[Edit: I think the announcement at yesterday's competition was that there were 13 couples, but my notes show 14 different numbers; so I've changed it to 14. I could be wrong].

San Francsico: District 7
San Francisco's North District includes the neighborhoods of Cow Hollow, Marina, Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights.
The Marina district lies on what used to be the 635-acre site of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Designed by Bernard Maybeck, The Palace of Fine Arts is one of a few remaining structures of the Expo, and one of the main tourist destinations in the Marina. A major housing development was built after the completion of the Golden Gate Bridge. The houses in the Marina were modestly built, lacking the architectural detail of the Victorians of the adjacent Pacific Heights neighborhood. Following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, the Marina once again became a sought after neighborhood to live and work in. Chic restaurants, bars, and local shopping now help make the Marina a go-to destination for nightlife and entertainment. Union and Chestnut Street are noted as the best streets for luxurious shopping and exquisite dining.
Pacific Heights
Undoubtedly one of the most exclusive and sought after neighborhoods in all of San Francisco, Pacific Heights offers some of the most luxurious real estate in San Francisco and is home to several notable residents. Developed around 1870's, the architectural styles of the homes vary from Victorians, Edwardian estates, and beautiful Chateau style homes with large lots. Built in 1853, the oldest residential home in San Francisco is located in this neighborhood. The C.A Belden House, which was built in 1889, is noted on the National Register of Historic Places and a classic example of Queen Anne style architecture. Perched upon a hill, the affectionately known "Pac Heights" neighborhood offers panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, The Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay. High-end shopping and dining can be found on Fillmore Street and Divisadero.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell... Anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.
I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.
Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away.
Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.
Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!" ...It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank good ness... She doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.
Then a wave of relief came upon me...one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... It was a letter to me.
She wrote:
My son...
I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore... But would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.
You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... So I gave you mine...I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me.
I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.
I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me.
My world shattered!!!
Then I cried for the person who lived for me... My Mother
Thanks for sharing such a meaningful story but this is not just a story for me. This is a true lesson for all of us, we sometimes hurt intentionally or unintentionally to someone; very close and dear to you "PARENTS".
Parents are precious ......they have done everything to make us happy & successful in our lives. We should promise ourselves to make them real HAPPY! Coz they really need us and even we also need them.
"We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves
-- Henry Ward Beecher "

Ace of Spades – MalMarch 11th, 2014 |
I wanted to have some fun drawing the characters in the Galaxion deck of cards, so the concept I came up with was to dress the characters in each suit in fashions from a bygone era. The Spades feature… the 1960s.
This just makes me happy, somehow.

this would be fun. The AVGN of RMRK.Podcasts/Videos would be ideal, but text reviews would work very well. Also be scathing and remorseful in your review. The game is utter crap and you should let them know it. But then offer some advice on how to fix it, so that anyone watching can learn the 'DON'T EVER FUCKING DO THIS IN A GAME AND HOW TO FIX IT' as opposed to just flame flame flame
As for the creators, I know they will inevitably fire back with excuses and etc, and that's the main thing holding me back. I don't wanna make it seem like I hate the creator, I just wanna let them know their game sucks. I'll consider doing it, but it'll be a while from now as I have to find some shitty games, play them, record them, and all that stuff. RMRK will be the first to know of course.
It's force of habit someone to defend their project when someone says that it's bad, no matter how politely it's put. But as long as you're being realistic and offering constructive criticism rather than just flaming, I think everyone'll be fine with it. For example, I don't want you saying "Your maps are shit, go die in a fire", but rather something like "your maps are shit, try doing this or doing this tutorial".Videos are always good, as long as they're decently made. Maybe it's just me, but people like watching reviews more than reading them, for some reason.
I think it's a good idea for its entertainment value - I don't think it is going to be constructive by any means.
To expect anything other than garbage from an amateur community is stupid, and your games are probably just as shitty, you just don't realize it.But by all means, do what you have to.
I could make a more reasonable, kindly sort of review... Actually be constructive and all that..

NIH to jump-start genomic medicine with new program
Genomic data will play increased role in studies at the NIH Clinical Center
By Raymond MacDougall
Associate Director of Communications, Division of Intramural Research
NIH clinical researchers will be using genomic data in many areas of clinical research in the coming decade, according to Michael M. Gottesman, M.D., deputy director for intramural research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). To advance this goal, he is backing a new, two-year initiative called the Clinical Center Genomics Opportunity (CCGO).
"We're trying to jump-start genomic medicine," Dr. Gottesman said. "We first need to build an infrastructure for clinical genomic sequencing that can be used by researchers in their projects at the NIH Clinical Center."
The CCGO program will underwrite the DNA sequencing and analysis of a total of 1,000 exomes, which are the functionally important 1-2 percent of an individual's genome that codes for proteins. Until now, only a few clinical research projects in the NIH intramural program have included exome sequencing. Instead, they have relied on clinically observable-or phenotypic-information and the targeted sequencing of specific candidate genes often suggested by that phenotypic information.
"It's as if we were missing a whole dimension-like living in flat land and wanting the third dimension to navigate the landscape of the disease you're studying," Dr. Gottesman said. He believes a combination of both observable and genomic data will be immensely valuable in understanding human health and improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease.
NIH is renowned for outstanding clinical facilities where scientists study approximately 600 different diseases. These facilities will be made even better with the addition of the CCGO program. Set to launch this summer, it will begin with a review committee's selection of projects that take optimal advantage of NIH Clinical Center phenotyping resources-the imaging, detailed documentation of physiological changes in patients and annotations of medical consequences of diseases. The successful applicants will be awarded from 50-300 exome sequences derived from patient samples. The samples will be collected at the NIH Clinical Center and sequenced at the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center, a specialized facility for high-throughput, next-generation sequencing operated by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Investigators who receive exome data through CCGO will receive help handling the data and navigating challenges associated with the interpretation and return of clinical genetic results.
"The initiative will help investigators take advantage of genomic technologies and develop capabilities to work with genomic data from clinical research patients," said Leslie Biesecker, M.D., chief of NHGRI's Medical Genomics and Metabolic Genetics Branch in the NHGRI intramural research program and an early adopter of clinical genomics at NIH. "NIH investigators will advance their own research and CCGO will develop the infrastructure and pipeline within the Clinical Center to begin to manage genomic data in a clinical context."
"We're trying to build infrastructure and apply genomic approaches to many different clinical research challenges," said NHGRI Scientific Director Daniel Kastner, M.D., Ph.D. "CCGO is a way of laying the groundwork for this pipeline."
Proposed by Drs. Biesecker and Kastner, the new program received enthusiastic support from the NIH Deputy Director of Intramural Research and the NIH Clinical Center.
"The NIH Clinical Center is the best place in the world to do detailed characterization of the disease phenotypes and natural histories of rare and unusual disorders," said NIH Clinical Center Director John I. Gallin, M.D. "This program will harness genomics to help us solve otherwise insoluble problems and get answers in much less time. It's a great synergy of resources and an important project that will transform our emphasis on disease prevention."
"There's no doubt that exomes and genomes can be used to figure out the genetic cause of a lot of different kinds of disorders," said Dr. Biesecker. "We also know that genome data can be used to enhance medical care and we want to figure out how to take best advantage of these data."
At NIH, a number of pilot projects have provided investigators insight into the opportunities and challenges of clinical genomics. Dr. Biesecker, for example, uses exome sequencing in ClinSeq®, a study that compares an individual's exome and genome data to their family health histories. Launched in 2007, the ClinSeq study could be expanded to explore the molecular underpinnings of a wide variety of diseases. Similarly, the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program has incorporated exome sequencing into its study of extremely rare conditions.
While intramural researchers across NIH use various genomic technologies, not all who would like to access genomic tools or infrastructure have had the chance to budget for the use of these tools. CCGO will change that. It will be inviting applications from principal investigators at institutes that participate in the NIH Clinical Center, are knowledgeable in genetics, but who do not currently have a major research program in clinical genomics.
The cost of exome sequencing conducted through CCGO will be offset by a combination of funds from the NIH Office of Intramural Research, sequencing discounts from the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center, NHGRI clinical support for incidental findings analysis and counseling and NIH Clinical Center sample processing and informatics. CCGO will also leverage clinical, scientific and bioinformatics resources within participating institutes.
For its part, the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC) will seek certification of its laboratory processes under the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), which sets quality standards for laboratory processes that generate results that are returned to patients. In addition, NISC personnel will help intramural researchers prepare data files for submission to the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes, or dbGaP, which stores and manages access to data from medical studies.
"The contribution from NISC is our laboratories' talents, sequencing machine time, computational analyses and our years of genomics expertise with exome data," said Jim Mullikin, Ph.D., NISC director and associate investigator in the Cancer Genetics and Comparative Genomics Branch in the NHGRI intramural research program. "We're excited about expanding NIH-wide access to genome sequencing and analysis. It's the way that healthcare is going and NHGRI should continue to be at the forefront of this research."
Dr. Mullikin described the dramatic decline in costs associated with sequencing-from $10,000 per exome five years ago, to $3,000 when NISC began offering exome sequencing three years ago. The current cost is $600, which covers just the cost of the chemical reagents used for DNA sequencing. The other costs for sequencing infrastructure and staff are being donated by the NHGRI. Just a handful of hospital systems in the United States have begun using genome sequencing in clinical care. NIH clinical investigators will be on the vanguard of clinical genomics.
"We want the Clinical Center to be at the forefront of individualized genomic medicine," said Dr. Biesecker. "Use of exome data is the way to get a toe-hold in this field and develop those capabilities. Then the practice of genomic medicine at the Clinical Center can evolve over time so that it becomes both more generalized and more useful for researchers and patients."
"At some time in the future, I imagine we will be sequencing everybody-maybe full whole- genome sequencing," Dr. Gottesman said. "But there's a lot we need to learn from here to there."
Note: NIH intramural researchers may attend a town hall meeting to learn more about the Clinical Center Genomics Opportunity (CCGO) on Monday, April 28, 2014, from 10 - 11 a.m. at Lipsett Amphitheater, Building 10 (Clinical Center). For details, see: The NIH Yellow Sheet.
NIH intramural investigators who are interested in applying for participation in the CCGO program may contact Dr. Biesecker email@example.com.

RTV: Money doesn't grow on trees
Money isn't everything, except when you're talking about Democracy (in which case, apparently it is everything). Recently, several states have backed policies that likely will disenfranchise large numbers of their citizens in the name of reducing the deficit and becoming more efficient; policies involving filling vacancies, and maintaining voter rolls.
Recently, legislators in Louisiana have proposed a law to end special elections. Such elections have occurred more than 30 times in the past five years and have cost Louisiana approximately one million dollars in total. Instead of holding elections, positions would remain vacant until the end of the term, or a person would be appointed to fill the position. In the event of an appointment under the bill, the outgoing representative would nominate three people, to whom the representative is not related, who are of the same political party as the outgoing representative. The governor can then appoint one of these three people to fill the position. While the power of the official is limited (the appointed politician cannot run for a full term after their appointment is complete), during their time as representative they would have all the responsibilities and duties of a regularly elected official. Alternative bills call for the appointed person to be from the same district as the outgoing representative, presumably in an effort to find a person as much like the outgoing official as possible.
This entire process would not involve the voter, who the representative would serve. Tellingly, there will be no voter referendum to determine if the public wants to stop holding special elections. While removing special elections would save the state money, it would also cost the voters in Louisiana the chance to elect representatives they feel best represent their needs. Who may hold a state-wide elected office should not be a decision for one person to make; and even if it was, the decision to move to a system of appointments over elections is one that certainly should be made by the people at the polls.
It's telling that one office cannot be affected by an act of Louisiana or any other state: that of the U.S. House of Representatives. Our founders had great respect for the powers of the "people's House" and did not want anyone to serve there who had not been elected (and no one ever has). Grounded in the Constitution, all U.S. House vacancies are subject to election rather than appointment.
Perhaps using the same goals of efficiency and fiscal responsibility, in 2008 a handful of states purged voters from the rolls within three months of the date of the next election. This was a violation of federal law; not because the voters were purged without being notified, but because they were purged too close to an election. Under the Help America Vote Act, within 90 days of an election voters are only to be removed in the event they die, are incarcerated, or move out of state. As NPR covered, many people who had been purged had no idea they were removed from voter rolls. The NY Times reported various types of voter purging had occurred in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina.
For example, in the 90 days leading to the 2008 election, Michigan removed 33,000 people from the rolls in the name of efficiency. About 11,500 voters had moved out of state or died during that period. This means, unless Michigan incarcerated over 21,000 voters in 90 days, thousands of people may well have been unjustly and unlawfully removed from the voter registration polls.
While public outcry in 2008 caused many states to allow those purged without cause back onto the voter rolls, this was not the end of one state's (Colorado) voter purging actions. Fast Forward until today, where the current Colorado law seeks to send ballots automatically to all active voters during election season. An active voter is someone who voted in the last general election, and is currently in good standing in the voter rolls.
Today in Colorado, after a person misses voting in one general election (such as governor in 2010 and president in 2008), the individual is sent apostcard which is intended to alert the resident they are about to be purged from the records. Voters can respond to this letter to stay active on the registrar. However, anyone who has recently moved, has their postcard delivered to the wrong address, or is unsure what to do with the postcard when it arrives, would be purged just as if they knowingly failed to respond. Since the purging is automatic, and not an affirmative action undertaken by the voter, thousands of voters have been purged and didn't realize it until the next election when they were not sent a ballot.
FairVote recently found that in Fort Collins, Colorado, for example, there were 80,250 active voters in March 2009 after a high turnout presidential election, but only 62,260 active voters in March 2011 after a lower turnout governor's race. What's more, Fort Collins only votes by mail. Since only active voters receive mail ballots, the number of voters receiving ballots dropped by almost 18,000 people during this time period.
While this might seem efficient, it actually means that everyone who misses one election is placed under a harsh burden when trying to vote, as they have been purged from the mailing list. Election officials have acknowledged that it is possible to send a ballot to every registered person, regardless of it they voted in the last election or not. However, officials claimed that the expense associated with an all-inclusive mailing does not justify doing so.
These are further examples of voting rights, or the lack thereof, being used as a bartering chip. It seems that, in states struggling to break even financially, the first thing to go is people's participation in their government. But how are people meant to care about their government when their government is taking actions to make it more difficult to hear their input? When did democracy get a price-tag? While fiscal responsibility is an admirable goal, saving money should never be at the expense of someone's rights. Avoiding running democracy on the cheap is yet another reason to establish a right to vote in the Constitution.
