Saturday, July 28, 2018

If you get a PHP fatal error, Internal Server 500 or a blank page you have to make sure that your server is indeed running on a supported version of PHP for the version of Akeeba Backup you are installing. Please consult our version compatibility matrix.
In order to determine which PHP version you're using, please
create a file named
info.php with the following
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Upload it to your server and access it as
http://www.example.com/info.php, where
www.example.com is your web site's domain name. You will
see your PHP version on top. If the PHP version is unsupported
please ask your host to immediately upgrade your PHP. Do not ask us
for such instructions. This is absolutely server-specific; only your
host can help you with this.
If, however, you are getting PHP Warning, Notice, Strict
Standards or Deprecated messages, this is nothing to worry about,
meaning that ANGIE will work properly but its interface might be so
loitered with the messages that it's impossible to use. In that case
please ask your host about instructions on either disabling PHP
error output to the browser or setting the error reporting level to
E_ERROR. If you are on a local server (e.g. XAMPP, MAMP, WAMPServer,
etc) you have to edit your
php.ini file and
change the following two lines:
error_reporting = E_ERROR display_errors = 0
If you don't know where your
php.ini file
is stored, please consult the documentation or support forum of your
server stack (e.g. XAMPP) you are using. We know about a few of
them, but not all of them. It's best to ask such questions on the
official site of each server stack where you can get proper support
about those non-Akeeba products.
You MUST restart Apache (the web server service) after applying those changes. If you are unsure about how to do that, you'd better shut down and restart the server stack (e.g. XAMPP) you are using.

At his point he's trolling idc, idc.
Serial racist Jeffree Star is still on his "I'm not racist I like black d*ck" tour as he has posted another black man to his insta.
Jeffree posted a video on his Youtube channel after his breakup with Andre and mentioned that he is never dating again. So who is this new guy on his social media stories then?
effree mentioned in this video that he is not dating Andre anymore. Though he referred to some of the fake accounts spreading false news about him. But what Jeffree didn't do is elaborate on his initial clickbait-ish title 'I'm not dating again' and the recent robbery drama.
And as per Jeffree's Youtube video title, he was finally putting a stop to dating. But then yesterday morning, he shared a screenshot from his balcony.

Cardioversion is a procedure in which synchronized, low-voltage electrical impulses are administered to the heart to correct an abnormal rhythm, also called an arrhythmia. The external type of cardioversion is called electric cardioversion, and involves placing a defibrillator, a small machine with pads and electrodes, on the patient's chest. Electrical cardioversion is performed to correct abnormal heartbeats in non-emergency ("elective") situations.
Cardioversion may be used before or after other treatment methods, and is indicated in patients who have heart conditions involving an abnormal rhythm. These conditions include:
- Atrial fibrillation;
- Atrial flutter;
- Ventricular tachycardia, an abnormally fast heartbeat of more than 100 beats per minute that originates in one of the ventricles; and
- Ventricular fibrillation, an abnormal, non-coordinated heart rhythm originating in one of the ventricles.
In most cases, patients must undergo anticoagulation — administration of anti-clotting drugs such as heparin, low-molecular weight heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), or a direct thrombin inhibitor (Xarelto Pradaxa, or Eliquis) — before cardioversion. Although the physician will provide specific pre-procedure instructions to the patients, typically patients are asked to refrain from eating or drinking within 8 hours of the cardioversion procedure. Medications should still be taken on the day before and the day of the procedure, but with only a small sip of water.
Patients with an abnormal heart rhythm are eligible for cardioversion such as atrial fibrillation, or atrial flutter.
Patients who have had an arrhythmia for longer than one year and those who are not taking an anticoagulant medication before cardioversion are at greater risk for complications. Compromised kidney or liver function as well as the presence of other heart conditions such as heart failure or abnormal valves may increase risk as well.
An anesthesiologist will give the patient medication through an intravenous (IV) line to eliminate pain and induce sleep. Men may have their chest hair shaved, and electrocardiogram (ECG) patches will be placed on the chest and sometimes the back as well so that the health professionals can monitor the patient's heartbeat during the procedure. Adhesive cardioversion pads will then be placed firmly on the chest. They will automatically discharge a specific amount of electric current (lasting a few seconds) to the heart. In most cases, this will be repeated a few times to restore a regular rhythm.
Afterward, the patient's physician may perform another ECG to ensure the procedure was successful. Results and next steps will be discussed and the patient will be moved to a recovery area.

Keep up with changes and news on your local real estate market, do paperwork, wade through bureaucratic procedures, plan open houses, schedule meetings with clients or other agents and meet them, answer calls and emails, update information about your listings, figure out how to differ from competitors, keep a database of leads… On top of that, you understand that having an app is a necessity for your local real estate business, and there is simply no time to address the issue. Looks familiar to you?
We, as a real estate app development company, understand that you are too busy to figure out the intricacies of the software development process. In this article, on the example of StreetEasy, we'll show the main features of real estate web or mobile application and tell you what each feature may give to your business.
The reasons we chose the case of StreetEasy
We took the example of StreetEasy, a place on the Internet to search for renting and selling a home in New York City because it is a really challenging development of a real estate app in our practical experience. The market is complex, the target audience is mixed, the business requirements are of the highest level, the result is remarkable.
Real estate market of New York City is like no other. The city is split up not only into municipal divisions (boroughs) marked on the map, but also consists of conditional areas located within the boundaries of settlements of ethnic or social groups of inhabitants. All neighborhoods are diverse in terms of lifestyle so greatly that they seem to be different cities.
There is a wide variety of building types: townhouse, pre-war and post-war buildings, brownstone, luxury hi-rise. Besides, NYC is a recognized platform for architectural experiments. Converting an old office or industrial building into residential apartments is a New York City classic.
NYC is a business center of the United States, and therefore it is not surprising that it attracts thousands of people from all over the world. New York City is a city of immigrants. About two hundred nationalities live here. And almost all of them are looking for an apartment to rent.
Everything mentioned above comes to play if you want your app to stand out. Since StreetEasy made it, we can learn from them how to create a real estate app for renting and selling apartments in a huge city, such as New York City.
What real estate startups can learn from StreetEasy's success
StreetEasy is a very localized real estate app. It is known to almost every New York citizen for excellent search criteria and relevant listings. The company has a strong position in the real estate market, its annual revenue is $4M.
In addition to extensive search capabilities, here you will find a huge list of useful materials, reports, interesting historical facts about the Big Apple, and guides to help you rent, buy and sell smarter. There is also a guide on moving to NYC with an affordability calculator!
The service includes a description of neighborhoods with specific characteristics and drawbacks in order to give a general idea about what it's like to live in this or that New York City's area. What matters most, it has exclusive and relevant listings, almost no obsolete ones. And agents represent only the owner, no extra agents in the chain.
StreetEasy is not alone among property listing solutions in New York. There are alike services: Buzzbuzzhome, MLS, Naked Apartments. And yet every New Yorker when searching for housing will recommend you the app of StreetEasy. Why is that?
The success of the app is the result of hard work. Let's look at the distinctive features that made StreetEasy so popular.
Advanced search. Help them find
Home hunters make their choice based on different factors: area, type of property, year of construction, distance from a subway or certain school, availability of a gym, swimming pool, rooftop or children's rooms in the building, and many other things. Everyone looking for a house or apartment wants to get what he needs by clicking one button. Therefore, search filters are so important.
As for StreetEasy, it allows filtering the right options for a lot of parameters. For instance, here is what you can do:
Customize the search boundary. You can sort options by type, number of bedrooms, square feet, but beyond that, you can adjust the search area on the map and give it a separate name. That is, when you re-search, you simply open the map under the desired boundaries.
Search on the map. When searching for apartments in a particular area, users have the opportunity to view all the available options directly on the map. The map will show in what building this or that apartment under your request is located. You will also see storm evacuation zones, Citi Bike stations and subway lines near the apartment.
Filter by listing and building amenities. Someone likes to have private outdoor space and laundry in the building, someone needs a gym, and someone is looking for a house with parking. Most often, in order to find out whether the apartment you want has the amenities you need, it is necessary to contact the agent. StreetEasy makes life easier for the users and allows you to filter options by amenities, both listing and building.
Search in listings description. Besides search options mentioned above, you can specify the parameters listed in the description. Specialized terms like "windows facing south", "home office", "oak floor" are often mentioned in the description. StreetEasy provides an opportunity to search for everything you need in descriptions.
Define the budget. In addition to the price of the apartment itself, home buyers in New York City pay attention to the cost of ownership or, in other words, how much you will have to pay for the apartment maintenance and taxes every month. You can set limits in the boxes "Maintenance", "Taxes" and "Price per square foot".
School zones. New York has about 470 square miles. Imagine this scenario: you have a kid who must be taken to school before work. You buy or rent an apartment near the office, and the school in your area does not fit and you have to take the kid to school in another area. In order to prevent such cases, StreetEasy has a search by school zones.
How you may benefit
If you give home buyers advanced search with as many necessary filters as they need, the likelihood that they find what they want will be much higher. It means they will stay on your website or will continue to use your real estate app further.
Advanced search helps to find the most suitable listings and does everything difficult for the person. Which means the real estate app user will thank you by clicking the "Message agent" button.
Saved search. Facilitate the process
Rather than entering every time your search parameters, you can save them. This kind of search is needed so that you can quickly access those search parameters that you use more or less regularly. For example, if you are looking for a certain pet-friendly condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in Hudson Square, but none of the existing listings currently suit you, you can add a search by parameters to your favorite searches, then periodically view new listings appearing by these search parameters. Moreover, you can save listings you liked. This feature is free and available for registered users.
How you may benefit
Since the feature is available for registered users you will get information about the target audience and will be able to communicate directly with the users. It will help you to better understand your clients, their needs and preferences, as well as to improve your service.
Digital analytics. Explore your audience
If you visit NYC you will definitely see StreetEasy's advertising in the subway, taxi tops and buses. The advertising shows a deep understanding of how people are looking for housing in New York City. These ad campaigns are always witty and can be called masterpieces. And all because StreetEasy is laced with analytics tools up and down and knows everything about the target audience: what time of the day users visit the web service, what search queries they use, what apartments interest them most, and so on and so forth.
How you may benefit
Understanding the target audience allows you not only to increase the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Adding Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to your site enables you to understand how users behave when they come from a certain advertising channel, what interests them most, what prevents them from using your service. Based on the data obtained, you can carry out AB testing, improve user experience, reduce advertising budgets while maintaining efficiency, and so much more.
Mortgage tools. Be useful for home buyers
If you have ever been interested in mortgage terms, did you have enough strength to figure it out and feel free to say that you chose the best option on the market? For most of us, everything related to mortgage loans can be compared with attempts to understand the structure of a quantum computer. What does StreetEasy have for home buyers with a mortgage loan?
Mortgage calculator. With the help of the mortgage calculator, the borrower can find out how much in the end is overpaid. If earlier such calculations could be recognized directly in the bank, now everything has become more convenient. You can decide in advance whether you should take a loan or not when looking through listings on the site by performing just a few counting operations. It goes without saying the calculations are approximate, however, it helps to determine the affordability by showing how much you need to pay per month.
Mortgage rates. Mortgage rates may vary significantly from different banks. With the help of StreetEasy mortgage rates, visitors can find out which banks within the certain area make home loans for acquiring the property of interest, compare their offers on monthly payments, lender fees and annual percentage rate.
How you may benefit
By solving the real problems of real estate property buyers you attract their interest and keep them using your app to continue the process of buying a property.
Agent tools. Become an assistant to agents
Real estate market is fast moving and very competitive. Brokers work is not stress-free, brokers need all the help they can get. StreetEasy is aware of it and provides agents with valuable tools to manage listings, to generate reports on listing performance, to plan open houses, to automate postings on social networks, and many others. Here you also may sign up for daily or weekly tailored emails with the newest real estate information and find ideas on generating more leads.
How you may benefit
It is important to remember that your service is a working tool for real estate professionals. Your real estate app may become a really nice timesaver for agents. By helping them to generate more leads and sell more you will also grow your real estate business.
Guides for all occasions. Work with the audience
The algorithm for finding housing in New York City is something like the following: prepare the documents, find a listing to buy or rent an apartment in New York, make an appointment, and go to look at it. You like it – you buy or rent it. It would seem that everything looks simple. However, at every step of this algorithm there are many peculiarities and pitfalls.
StreetEasy is a friend and advisor for every visitor. It will guide you through every step of finding the home you dream of. With yelp, it will recommend a restaurant near the house that you liked. If you are moving to NYC for the first time it can give you everything you need from tips on finding a roommate to types of documents you need. It will help you to decide whether you should rent or buy. If you are an agent you can find real estate market reports and information on new developments in the city. On StreetEasy forums you may discuss topics of interest to you.
How you may benefit
Any business must communicate with its customers. Business profit depends on this. Guides, tips, forums help to efficiently build interaction with the target audience of the real estate app as well as gain their loyalty. Such an approach also will help you to build a community around your brand as StreetEasy did.
In summary. How to build a real estate app like StreetEasy
Streeteasy is such a Swiss Army knife kind of a website with a set of functions for sellers, buyers, renters and agents. The process of developing an app like StreetEasy is long and continuing. It is necessary to take into account all aspects of your local real estate market, the needs of your target audience and your business goals.
The success of your app will also depend on the right choice of real estate app developers who will understand your business needs, who will help you to focus on being a realtor, who will provide quality work at each stage of app development, who will be your allies in building a great app for your local real estate firm. We will be happy to share our experience in building real estate app solutions with you.

When an employee is on leave and timecards are generated, timecards are created using the earning code associated with the shift activity for the absence.
If shifts have not been plotted on a schedule for an employee who normally appears on the schedule but has an approved leave in the pay period, no timecards will be created during timecard expansion. Exceptions are generated if the employee has no timecards for the pay period, or if the employee is over/under their standard period gross, which alerts the payroll clerk that further investigation may be required.

The wonderful artist Richard Merkin died this week. I always admired the drawings he did for The New Yorker that showed his interest in jazz music, baseball, and celebrities that no one talks about anymore. A gentleman's gentleman, Merkin was known for his personal style that included bespoke suits, custom hats, and walking sticks.

Look Du Jour: Ivy League
Being on campus and back to the books inspires me to dress collegiately. Blazers have always been cool, but my new favorite trend is the over-sized emblem blazer. Whether it's Tommy Hilfiger or Ralph Lauren, the emblem adds a little more prep to your step.

Giardiniera is a flavorful mix of chopped pickled vegetables in olive oil. It's usually crunchy, sour, a bit oily and often spicy. It's well known all over the midwest United States. But, is probably best known as the key topping on a Chicago Italian beef sandwich.
The easiest substitute for giardiniera is to drain and coarsely chop any sour pickled vegetables such as sport peppers, pepperoncini, jalapenos and/or pickles. Then add a small amount of dried oregano and olive oil. The result will give you the sour, spicy and herby notes of giardiniera.
I just ran out of giardiniera and need a quick substitute
If you need a giardiniera in the next hour, you can make a quick giardiniera using nearly any pickled vegetables. There are other vegetables that work as well. Sour pickled vegetables work the best. I would stay away from any pickled vegetables that are very sweet such as sweet pickles.
Here are some pre-pickled vegetables that I found work really well:
- Pepperoncinis
- Sport peppers
- Pickled jalapeno peppers
- Pickled roasted bell peppers
- Jarred artichoke hearts
- Canned mushrooms
- Olives, pitted
- Capers
To make the substitute giardiniera, chop your combination of vegetables in order to end up with about 1 cup total. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tsp of dried oregano. You probably don't need to add any salt. It will get better as it sits, but you can use it immediately.
I don't have any giardiniera and have never tried it
Most supermarkets carry at least one or two brands of giardiniera. It should be in the same section as the pickles. If you're outside the midwest your options may be limited to national brands, which are ok, but not as good as the local brands.
Fortunately, there are a ton of giardiniera options available on Amazon. Here are a few awesome options:
I don't like giardiniera
If you don't like the sour kick of giardiniera, you might like New Orleans-style olive salad. It's a key ingredient in a muffaletta sandwich and brings a ton of flavor but is much less sour than giardiniera. The most well-known olive salad is made by Central Grocery in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The line to buy a muffaletta or olive salad sometimes goes out the door and down the block!
Central Grocery's olive salad is also available on Amazon
Giardiniera Substitute
- 1 cup Pickled vegetables, like jalapeno peppers, sport peppers, pepperoncini, artichokes, sweet peppers or any other sour pickled vegetables
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Chop pickled vegetables into 1/2" pieces.
- Add olive oil and oregano. Mix well and let sit for an hour.
- Pile on your hotdog, sandwich or anywhere else you need a big kick of flavor

What is Fantasy? (Erin)
8 comments:
Even though I've read this post several times by now it still blows my mind that there are 10 different types of fantasy! Fairytale Fantasy is my favorite, not surprisingly, but I also really enjoy Magical Realism, along with Portal, Historical, and Low Fantasy. The sad thing is it was hard for me to narrow it down to those 5 categories :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think I can pick a favorite, either! : ) I do love portal fantasy. . . just the idea that a new world could be just around the corner is exciting! Thanks, Laurie!Delete
Fantastic post! It is a great way to start a blog about fantasy, so that everyone is on the same page. My favorite is definitely high fantasy, but I also love classical, Arthurian, time travel, historical, portal... well, I write fantasy for a reason. :) The more magic, dragons, elves, and fantastic cultures, the better!ReplyDelete
I love dragons and elves, but haven't written about them yet! Looking forward to reading some of your work, Hannah! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Wow! Not being a fantasy writer, I had no idea. Great post, Erin.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Stacy! Fantasy can be fun, with so many variations. Thanks for reading! ErinReplyDelete
My favorites are high fantasy, portal fantasy, and urban fantasy. I'm not sure what the technical difference is between urban fantasy and low fantasy. They both take place on Earth, with the presence of things like modern technology. In some of the urban fantasies I have read, such as Written in Red by Anne Bishop, the humans are fully aware of the presence of the paranormals and non-humans. Perhaps that is one difference.ReplyDelete
Hi All! So. . . what do you know about Urban Fantasy? I missed it in my post, and I'd love to hear your definitions. Thanks!ReplyDelete

text: So, I had just finished murdering a few Ku Klux Klan members in Hanger 13's 2016 game, Mafia III. I was doing this to satisfy the requirements of a side mission, which tasked me with visiting, and dispersing, KKK rallies that were being held across the fictional 1960s version of New Orleans, New Bordeaux. Upon completion, I returned to the quest giver, Pastor Jeremiah, to assure him the wicked folks had been dealt with, and at his request, I spared him the details. But before I left, he and Lincoln Clay, the player character and protagonist, exchanged a bit of banter, including the use of the phrase "from your mouth to God's ears". These lines of dialogue stuck out to me because, the day prior, I had just seen another action and suspense filled narrative involving the KKK, Spike Lee's BlackkKlansman. In the film, and many of it's promotional material, the protagonist is heard using the phrase "from your mouth to God's ears" as well. This phrase isn't necessarily something specifically common to KKK members, but it does stem from the devoutly Christian beliefs that the organization is founded on, which is ironic seeing the phrase is also used in many Jewish circles. The folks over at Hanger13 had really done their homework, and that was evident by even the throwaway banter lines having been informed by the setting and characters. It was here that I realized not only why I love Mafia III so much, but why games like it are so important to the future maturation of the interactive medium. And that reason has little to do with graphical fidelity or monetization systems. Mafia III revolves around Lincoln Clay's revenge on Sal Marcano, the top Mafia boss in New Bordeaux, and the dismantling of Marcano's entire criminal empire. Almost every character you come across in the game feels like a real, three dimensional human being thanks to their motivations being grounded in both who they are as a character and the unique moment in time in which the game is set. But this narrative refuses to be a generic revenge story, because many scenes and aspects of the game have a racial context. In the GameSpot's mini-documentary series about the game, lead writer Charles Webb said: "His experience is going to be informed by his blackness, and we think that's really important to the story." This fact is felt in so many minor details throughout the game. The entire police system is informed by this. Cops are far more likely to respond to your public crimes in more affluent neighborhoods than in poorer neighborhoods, and even when your not commiting crime, they always look your direction when your in their vicinity. Civilians will even call the cops on you if you enter the few buildings that still don't allow blacks. Lincoln takes down many Mafia lieutenants throughout the game, and for most of them, he takes them out in ways that are meant to send the message to Sal Marcano that his life is in danger. But nearly every time he does so, the message is misinterpreted by it's citizens. One of the lieutenants you recruit to help take control of the districts of New Bordeaux is Cassandra, the black, female leader of the Haitian Mob. Despite her involvement in underground crime, her biggest concerns are those that effect fellow blacks in her communities. For example, she makes it a point to make sure that those in her communities have access to weapons equal to those in white neighborhoods. In the 1960's gun shops in black populated neighborhoods were not common, as many whites feared that arming blacks would have lead to a more militant fight for their equality, not unlike the methods used by the Black Panther Party. This discrimination is also felt through gameplay, as Lincoln must call on a friend to drive weapons to him, as he's unable to visit gun shops in the city. In fact, she is sometimes so adamant about her desires for the greater advancement of colored folk, that it sometimes annoys Lincoln. Even random citizens you pass on the street will be talking about then current events, like the recent murder of Dr. Martin Luther King or our recent involvement in the Vietnam War. So, how does a deep sense of place, characters that are motivated by their own traits, or any of these things make Mafia 3 so important? Well, Mafia 3 is one of the few games, especially AAA games, that uses interactivity to speak from a point of view. The blackness of Lincoln Clay isn't just a skin to help him stand out from hundreds of shooter protagonists, it's so vital to his character that the entire plot, characters in the world, and the gameplay itself is informed by it, a feat rare for any game. Many games are designed to adapt to the player, and most video game protagonists are meant to be avatars, designed for the player to inhibit. There's totally validity to this, as many of the most popular games out use avatars, and in most cases, they are widely customizeable to the player's liking. This has proven to be great in games like Overwatch, where the varied cast of playable characters, like Brazilian DJs, queer women, and Hispanic men, allows for player expression, no matter who the player might be. Still, while this type of diversity6 in games has merit, it tends to be pretty shallow.Most multiplayer games, such as Fortnite and recent Call of Duty games, have these customization options that allow the player to express themselves. However, these additions feel less like a statement about player identity and more like another hook to keep players playing these games, and in turn, buying microtransactions. Overwatch is the closest thing to an exception here, as the short films and comics outside of the game give a lot more depth to it's cast. But even in that case, the identity of the characters are not felt much through gameplay.That is why games like Mafia III are so important. That point of view is felt throughout the entire game in all the ways described earlier, not just because it's shown to you, but because you feel it through gameplay. However, it is not the only great example of this. Considering it's already had the most successful opening weekend in entertainment history, I'm sure I don't have to do much set up for Red Dead Redemption 2. But for those under a rock, it's a game in which, Arthur Morgan, the player character, and a gang of women, children, elderly, and other gunslingers live on the road as they flee from the law. This western is set in 1899, almost 4 decades after the Civil War, which means that the lawlessness that allowed gangs, gunslingers, and cowboys to thrive was fading away. Because of this, loss is a main theme of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the player is forced to feel that loss though the game's mechanics. Without getting too specific, certain characters will no longer be a part of your gang. That impact is felt every time you revisit the camp after their departure, as gameplay features that were once attached to those characters are no longer available. If they had a side mission for you, a place for you to sell animal skins and meat, or if they had interesting dialogue options to uncover, you can no longer see that content, as they are no longer at camp. There's also a much more direct way the mechanics in Red Dead Redemption 2 hammer home the theme of loss, but for fear of spoiling too much of the story, I shall use a similar example from a different game. 2017's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a game that revels in contradictions. In it, BJ Blazkowicz, the player character, and a ragtag team fight against the Nazi occupation of the United States, which was the result of an alternate timeline in which they won WWII. Despite the game being very someber and hopeless at times, there are also many laugh out loud moments juxtaposed to those moments. Despite the game using the setting to show biting criticism of America's troubled past with race, it also wholeheartedly holds up the purest, most patriotic ideals of the country. And despite BJ being an icon of provado and strength since his debut in the first first person shooter of all time, Wolfenstein 3D, in this game, he's portrayed as much more vulnerable and fragile. In fact, since the last game ended with BJ mortally wounded, you are constantly reminded of your physical compromises. Not only do you play the first level of the game in a wheelchair, the entire first half of the game caps your health at 50, rather than the normal 100. This makes gunfights more difficult early on, but also forces the player to remember the state of the protagonist. It all helps to increase the impact of the, um, twist, that completely inverts the gameplay dynamic of the game, creating yet another contradiction. Examples like these are why representation through gameplay is just as, if not more, important than diversity in games. Sure, black characters have existed in games for years, you can look back to games like Final Fantasy 7 to see that. But games like Mafia III are now finally exploring what it means to be black through interactivity. Sure, Games like The Last of Us and Spec Ops The Line have tackled somber topics like loss. But now, games like Red Dead Redemption 2 are able to make those themes felt by the player through the uses of gameplay systems. And sure, games have purposefully handicapped players for the sake of challenge in the past, but now, those handicaps are used to help further develop characters and flesh out a theme like in Wolfenstein II. Games like these are what keep the video games from merely being seen as products. This is something that much of games criticism has fallen victim to in the past, as many of the metrics we judged video games by to this day have more in common with a review of a VCR or a microwave than a film or book. How long is the game? How many maps, missions, or hours of content does it have? Are the graphics good? These questions tend to pigeonhole games into not being seen as the the creative expressions of a team of creators that they are. This is a pitfall that many game critics are moving away from, as bigger outlets are beginning to drop numbered scores in favor of more nuanced discussion of new titles. This puts the focus less on if a game fulfills a set of categories and more on what the game has to say and if it says it effectively. I'm not saying that single player games are rising popularity, as that is already clear by the success of God of War and Spider-Man earlier this year. I'm not saying that every game has to have something impactful to say with it's gameplay, as more disposable experiences have a lot of value still. But what I am saying is that games that not only handle more serious themes, but dive deeper into them through interactivity are just as vitally important for the future maturation of video games than solely the creation of a new mechanic is. Sure, while something like the Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system, or Titanfall 2's grappling hook sounds more impressive on the back of a box, a narrative that uses gameplay to treat it's characters not merely as avatars, but as real people, is just as medium changing. And that's something every fan of video games should be supporting. Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...

Ambassador Hall's Remarks
at the Dedication of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Blue Hall/Press Center in Honor of Senator John McCain
Thursday, May 30, 2019
Vilnius, Lithuania
Presidents Landsbergis and Adamkus,
Foreign Minister Linkevicius,
Members of the Seimas,
Honored Guests,
It is my great privilege to join you today as you honor the legacy of Senator John McCain, an American foreign-policy giant and an unwavering friend of the Lithuanian people.
Throughout his remarkable career, Senator McCain championed the idea of an international system that advances the cause of human freedom. The inherent dignity of human life was at the core of his beliefs.
He spoke loudly in defense of human rights, with a clear-eyed moral authority formed during the darkest hours of his life. He understood — as all of you do — that we must vigorously defend the freedoms we cherish.
Senator McCain once said "human rights exist above the state and beyond history. They cannot be rescinded by one government any more than they can be granted by another. They inhabit the human heart, and from there, though they may be abridged, they can never be extinguished."
As Americans and Lithuanians, we are united by these shared values. So it is fitting that today's commemoration of Senator McCain's work coincides with the opening of the 2019 Vilnius Russia Forum, an event that will bring senior diplomats from both of our nations together in support of leading voices from Russian civil society.
Senator McCain worked tirelessly to ensure the fledgling democracies that emerged from the collapse of the Eastern Bloc were welcomed into a Europe whole, free, and at peace.
His remarkable ability to focus Washington's attention on this part of the world ensured that the United States never lost sight of its deep and long-standing commitment to the people of Eastern Europe and Eurasia. He vigorously defended the right of small nations to determine their own affairs independent of the interests of great powers.
Through his co-sponsorship of the Magnitsky Act, a landmark piece of human rights legislation developed in consultation with several of you here today, Senator McCain underscored the seriousness of the United States' ongoing commitment to combatting the corrosive effects of corruption.
I am proud that Senator McCain is remembered so warmly in this part of the world. Through our close partnership, the United States and Lithuania continue his legacy of support for the ordinary citizens and brave activists who fight for more open, just, and accountable political systems.
I am certain that Lithuania will continue to play a leading role as a convener of promising leaders fighting for a democratic future. The space you are naming in honor of Senator McCain — one of the Ministry's most technologically advanced — will support you in that endeavor. I sincerely hope that it will stand as a reminder to the Ministry's guests of the power of principled leadership and of our responsibility as diplomats to defend the values that unite us.
May Senator McCain's ideals live on in this great hall.
Thank you.

Four-legged friends aside, this year's second major canine movie couldn't be less like Christopher Guest's hilarious mockumentary, Best In Show. Alejandro González Inárritu's ferociously impressive debut arrives as a taut, fiercely unflinching portrait of love - or lust - in a tight spot, and how it brings out the slavering beast in people. The title translates as Love's A Bitch and the main meat of the film bears that out. So be warned: coiffured Shih-Tzus aren't the show-pups here.
Indeed, the dog fights in the opening story result in some horribly raw viewing, making Gladiator's tournaments look as groomed as, ooh, Best In Show's. But Inárritu claims the ugly mutts were unharmed, and you can't dispute his point that he couldn't explore this world without these distinctly hairy brawls. All three stories here are fact-based, and tightly leashed plotting, snappy cutting, ravaged colours and naturalistic performances - humans and dogs are almost interchangeable - give a sense of life on the edge captured as it is. The dogs were muzzled, apparently, but as film-making, Amores Perros lunges for your chest with its teeth bared.
Not that it's all muscle and no finesse. While the pace dips a notch as Inárritu slips us across class divides for the second segment, his storytelling flair speaks volumes. The jigsaw plotting's been compared to Pulp Fiction but, if anything, Amores Perros feels more humane, panoramic and organic, like Magnolia with all the grime of an entire city under its fingernails.
It doesn't stop surprising, either. There's a real sense of release to the closing story, a weeping wound of empathy centred on an ex-guerrilla's tragic separation from his family. Images of entrapment give way to open spaces, so you never suspect Inárritu of just abusing his characters. It's a movie that knocks the wind out of you, sure, but its complexity leaves a mark, too.

The presence of raised TPO antibodies is an indicator that a patient has an active case of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. These antibodies signal the immune system to attack the thyroid gland, resulting in inflammation and reduced function of the gland. Over time, this leads to the development of Hypothyroidism and a life-long need for medication to supplement the deficient hormone, thyroxine.
1. Selenium
These bodies can be effectively reduced with the use of the trace mineral Selenium. Most people consider selenium to be a potent antioxidant, but there is a lot more to this mineral. The conversion of Thyroxine into its active form known as Triiodothyronine is facilitated by this mineral, making it essential for thyroid health.
In clinical trials, supplementation of Selenium in patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis resulted in a significant reduction in Thyroperoxidase (TPO) antibody levels (see study). Selenium can be found in brazil nuts, tuna, and eggs.
The Selenium supplement I use with patients is This One.
2. Nigella Sativa
Another option for reducing TPO antibody levels is Nigella Sativa, also known as Black Seed. In a clinical study on the use of black seed in Hashimoto's, TPO levels were reduced, T3 levels were increased, and a reduction in body mass index was seen (see study).
Black seed is commonly used as a spice, however, in recent times it has gained popularity for its ability to reduce weight. It can be inferred that this effect is due to its thyroid boosting properties.
The Nigella Sativa supplement I use with patients is This One.
I strongly recommend using both selenium and Nigella Sativa under the supervision of a well versed Ayurvedic Physician.

Facebook is opening the gates of its non-profit Internet.org to developers, allowing anyone to develop services for the platform, it announced May 4.
Internet.org, which was founded in 2013 with the stated goal of bringing internet access to the developing world for free, previously had provided its users with a set of free basic services, including Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Wikipedia, and some local services such as job-posting sites and sports reports. No other services were available. (Internet.org partners with telecom companies so that users can access Internet.org services without paying data-transfer fees.)
Now, anyone can develop services for the new Internet.org platform, provided they adhere to its requirements, which are mainly focused on assuring that services will use very little bandwidth and be optimized for smartphones. In other words, Netflix won't be arriving on the platform anytime soon.
The move might placate some of the nonprofit's critics, who have accused Facebook of being more interested in attracting and potentially boxing in new users than in actual philanthropy. Indeed, Quartz reported earlier this year that a number of Facebook users in the developing world had no idea they were even using the internet. Quartz has reached out to Facebook for comment and will update this post with any response.
By allowing anyone to publish services, Facebook at least is letting in all players, even if Facebook still controls the game.

Hello readers!
This month ENSA had the great pleasure to hold the TRUSS annual plenary in Santander (Spain). During this 2-days meeting, the members of the TRUSS consortium visited the ENSA's facilities and saw 3 huge steam generators ready to be shipped to the Beaver Valley NPP. The early stage researchers, we also had the opportunity to attend a presentation of Prof. Castillo on extreme value statistics and to share the progression of our respective research.
Picture taken during my oral presentation
Regarding my personal achievements, I can proudly say that after a general review of the different topics involved, I am able to understand the ENSA methodology and implement it into the ANSYS FE software through ASCII macros. As you can imagine, the numerical analysis of the complex behaviour of racks in seismic conditions is not an easy task. ENSA methodology can be divided into 4 parts. The food for though is summarized hereafter:
I. Hydrodynamic masses concept: inertial coupling effects of the surrounding water volume are replaced by the equivalent mass of water vibrating with each rack. The fluid is treated as a virtual extension of the structure changing its effective mass.
II. Thermal analogy: If the fluid is inviscid and incompressible, its velocity field satisfies the Laplace equation (∇2Φ=0), and the associated pressure field can be determined via the Bernoulli equation. Therefore the potential flow shows a complete analogy with the steady-state heat conduction phenomena which can be used to assess the hydrodynamic masses in a cost-effective way.
III. Dynamic analysis: A simplified wired model maintaining the original natural frequencies is used to perform a cost-effective full transient analysis.
IV. Stress analysis: Resulting loads and displacements are transferred from the dynamic model to a detailed FE model in order to check local stresses and instabilities.
This knowledge will allow me to automatically generate my own series of numerical outputs. It is a basic starting point, as I count on comparing them with experimental data to evaluate the uncertainties inherent to the methodology.
See you down here soon!

Our Story
Our Story
2021 marks Cavendish Bosom Buddies Cottages & Suites' 33rd year in operation. Today, the property is owned and run by Kenny and Tracey Singleton. Tracey is the daughter of Ron and Ada Peters, who first opened Cavendish Bosom Buddies in 1988. The Singletons continue to carry on the Peters' tradition of providing Island hospitality and a family-friendly environment in the heart of Cavendish. Tracey and Kenny, along with their young triplets, MacKenzie, Matt and Lexie, welcome you to their slice of heaven on the North Shore.
About that Name . . .
Are you familiar with the story of Anne of Green Gables? Ada Peters certainly was. In fact, it was Ada's love for the precocious red-headed orphan that inspired her to name their family cottage business Cavendish Bosom Buddies when it opened in 1988. Lucy Maud Montgomery captured the magic friendship between Anne Shirley and her best friend, Diana Barry in her famous novel and immortalized the term 'bosom buddies' to describe their special bond. It is a fitting title for this Cavendish retreat where guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends.
The History
With their 4 children (Rhonda, Tracey, Michelle and Brodie), Ron and Ada operated the Cavendish Bosom Buddies together for 15 years and built a strong reputation for providing genuine Island hospitality, friendly service and immaculately clean accommodations. After Ada's passing in 2003, Ron Peters continued to run the business until 2012, when he passed the torch on to Tracey and Kenny.
Continuing a Family Tradition
Since 2013, Tracey and Kenny have carried on the legacy started by Tracey's parents decades earlier. By the time they began operating Cavendish Bosom Buddies, both Tracey and Kenny had developed a wealth of business knowledge, as well as a love and appreciation for the Island's vibrant tourism industry.
Tracey holds a Bachelor Degree in Tourism & Hospitality Management from Mount Saint Vincent University in Nova Scotia and has spent her entire career working in tourism and hospitality in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Kenny also has a passion for business and tourism, and has operated Bosom Buddies' sister company, PEI Dream Cottages Inc., for over 15 years.
Greetings from your Hosts, The Singletons
Hello and welcome to Cavendish Bosom Buddies! We look forward to welcoming vacationers, returning and new and hope you feel at home during your stay. Bosom Buddies is a place where kindred spirits come together to connect, rejuvenate, and create new and lasting memories.
As parents ourselves, Bosom Buddies has taken on a whole new meaning which reflects the strong bond, connection and friendship that binds our triplet children. It also remains a treasured gathering place for our family and friends, who have spent many weekends here at the cottages over the past 25 years. We hope you'll find it as fun and magical as we do!
Yours in hospitality,
Tracey, Kenny, MacKenzie, Matt & Lexie

Three stones make a wall. Rather gnomic, that, but when tucked into its original setting — a well-turned, five-point guide to archaeological inquiry — it's sagacious and poetic. "One stone is a stone. Two stones is a feature. Three stones is a wall. Four stones is a building. Five stones is a palace." As adages go, that's an enchanter, even in a field of investigation requiring the patience and trust of Job.
Well, that's half the fun of it, Eric Cline explains in his new book, "Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology." Think of the great finds, some of which waited many tens of thousands of years to be found. Then consider the unfound, waiting. Archaeology is powered by its ever-present promise, fueling an abiding optimism. It isn't a question of if, but where and when. The earth contains the human story, in stops and starts and palimpsests. By penetrating — or believing you have penetrated — some ancient mystery, you have likely revealed another. "It turned out that there were nine cities buried one on top of another in the mound," he writes — that particular mound being Homer's Troy. Archaeology is the gift that keeps on giving, dig?
In shiftless gratitude, we can thank Cline, his colleagues, and forebears for doing the heavy lifting presented in "Three Stones Make a Wall," which tenders a broad, fleshy survey of archaeology's history and big finds, as well as the bones and sinews that make the field so fundamental to our human story. Cline's enthusiasm is a force of nature, just bridled enough to pause and consider certain critical genetic sequences in the strands of archaeology's DNA, those that fashioned the field's chromatic stories and venerable truths.
The history of archaeology's big digs and finds, as told by Cline, is helplessly thrilling: Harold Carter peeking into King Tutankhamen's tomb and whispering "I see wonderful things"; the great stone rings that required so many workers toiling for decades that ring-making spawned domestication and settlement; a Hittite tablet that speaks of ongoing troubles with a vassal kingdom to the northwest: Wilusa, ruled by Alaksandu = Ilios, Alexander, the Trojan War. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Knossos, Rome, Megiddo, Mississippian Mound Builders. The pyramids of Egypt turn out to be that day's WPA, Teotihuacán has a tunnel lined with glitter, Jamestown had cannibalism.
Then there are the timeless takeaways. Howitzering the Buddhas of Bamiyan, laying waste to Palmyra — same as it ever was, our wayward progression. Looting? Everywhere and industrial, backhoes and bulldozers, and a one percent of private collectors waiting with open arms. "Looters wouldn't bother stealing things" — like our collective global heritage — "from archaeological sites if they had no place to sell them," he writes.
But let's remember Cline on up notes. First, that invading the long-dead's privacy is a great, humbling pleasure, worthy of thanksgiving, as once we did before killing a deer or chopping down a tree. And that humor — even academic humor — is always welcome. At Tel Kabri, in northern Israel, his team disinterred a large jar; a wine jar, part of a 6,000-jug cellar. Those Canaanites knew how to party! "I am often asked what it might have tasted like," Cline writes. "I simply answer that it has an 'earthy taste' now. "

Celsimix for fully continuous mixing and heating in the production of brittle candy
Thursday 23 February 2012During Interpack in Germany a Celsimix was displayed on the stand of the Tanis Group from Made (the Netherlands). This Celsimix is part of a brittle candy production line engineered by the Tanis Group.
Celsimix for brittle candy production
'Brittle candy' is a crunchy but brittle type of confectionery. In a fully continuous process the Celsimix boils the pre-heated glucose syrup to form caramel, adding almonds to this and mixing it to form a homogenous mass.
The Celsimix is heated using thermal oil to a temperature of 280 degrees. The mixer is fitted with two screws and has a capacity of 400 kg/hour. To prevent the product sticking and to facilitate cleaning, everything that comes into contact with the product is polished to a high gloss. Both screws can also be removed completely for thorough cleaning. The Celsimix is suitable for a MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) of 5 bar and complies with the PED standard (Pressure Equipment Directive) and EN-13445 (European standard for unfired pressure vessels).
The Tanis Group
The Tanis Group, a rapidly growing company operating internationally, designs and produces process installations for the food industry. It specialises in 'tailor-made' solutions for the sugar processing industry and also provides full project support. By working closely with the client, The Tanis Group designs specially developed systems, from simple to fully integrated. Tanis supplies installations for the production of masses such as caramel, jelly, nougat, marshmallow, candy bars, acid drops, chewy products and fondant.

This drone insurance company will alter your rate based on your safety score
Looking to get a lower drone insurance rate? Prove you're a "safe" pilot, and you may pay less than everyone else.
Drone insurance company SkyWatch launched an insurance plan in partnership with insurance and financial services organization Starr Companies. The plan determines insurance rates based upon a pilot's safety score.
To use it, pilots need to download SkyWatch's mobile app, where they input their flight plan, enabling the app to gather data based on potential hazards like crowds, roads and airports. The software can analyze what happened during the flight, and give a safety score. Once a pilot has made at least five flights, they are eligible to receive reduced insurance rates based upon their safety score. The app works with a variety of drones, including DJI drones.
A spokesperson for SkyWatch said "safer" pilots could pay as much as 50% less than the base rates.
Here are some things that SkyWatch claims could lower one's safety score:
- Flying over dense roads and in no-fly zones
- Flying far from the operator
- Cruising in low altitudes (The drone has a higher risk of crashing into trees, power lines and buildings)
Want a higher safety score? Try these tactics, according to SkyWatch:
- Repeat flight plans in the same area
- Fly a newer drone (SkyWatch says drones like the Phantom 4, Mavic Air and Inspire 2 are safer due to advanced sense and avoidance features)
SkyWatch says it offers insurance coverage for up to $10 million, though pilots need to have a Part 107 certificate to qualify for high insurance limits.
SkyWatch claims to be the first drone insurance company where rates are dictated by a safety score.
Another popular form of drone insurance is the on-demand model, where pilots pay based on minutes of flights. Those models are offered through companies including Flock and Verifly.
Insurance policies for drones have become increasingly popular in the last few years, though there is no legal requirement to fly with insurance.
Many drone pilots already have drone insurance — without even knowing it — through membership to organizations like The Academy of Model Aeronautics or The International Drone Racing Association. Some drone flights are also covered under the pilot's homeowners insurance policy.
