Masahiro Sakurai
Masahiro Sakurai (桜井政博), born August 3, 1970, is a Japanese game developer, creator, writer, and voice actor. His most notable creations as a game developer include the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. series, both of which he created and developed in his tenure with HAL Laboratory, a Nintendo subsidiary. He has continued his work on the Super Smash Bros. series under Sora Ltd., a company that he formed after his departure from HAL Laboratory in 2003.
At Nintendo and HAL Laboratory[edit]
One of Sakurai's earliest experiences in the video game industry began when he worked for HAL Laboratory, Inc. It is there that he created the character Kirby at the age of 19. He would soon direct his first title, Kirby's Dream Land.
Sakurai first came up with the concept for Super Smash Bros. in 1998; the original idea consisted of a fighting game with different mechanics than standard fighters. Known as Dragon King: The Fighting Game, the project was intended for release on the Nintendo 64. However, Sakurai decided that the inclusion of Nintendo characters would give the game a more proper atmosphere compared to before. The end product, Super Smash Bros., became an unexpected hit, eventually becoming one of the best-selling Nintendo 64 games.
With the upcoming release of the Nintendo GameCube, Sakurai was named head of production for the development of Super Smash Bros. Melee, once again with HAL Laboratory. He recalls living a "destructive lifestyle" during the game's 13-month development period, with no holidays and short weekends.[1] In addition to his work in developing the game, Sakurai also wrote and maintained the site Smabura-Ken, a website devoted to revealing the multiple gameplay elements of Melee.
Super Smash Bros. Melee was released in late 2001. It surpassed the popularity of its predecessor, and Melee eventually became the GameCube's highest-selling game of all time; reception to the game was also positive, with some publications even considering it among HAL Laboratory's finest works.
Resignation from HAL Laboratory[edit]
Sakurai resigned from his position at HAL Laboratory on August 5, 2003, shortly after the release of Kirby Air Ride. Sakurai was highly critical of the circumstances surrounding the game, claiming that he had become tired of the gaming industry's growing focuses on sequels:
The future of both the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. franchises were in jeopardy following his resignation. Sakurai later stated that he wished for HAL to continue working on the Kirby series, but the future of Super Smash Bros. was still unknown.
After his departure with HAL in August 2003, Sakurai began working with Q Entertainment, along with Tetsuya Mizuguchi. This collaboration resulted in Meteos, a unique puzzle game for the Nintendo DS.
Sakurai also became an author for the weekly columns of Famitsu Weekly, a Japanese gaming-themed magazine.
Sora Ltd. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
On September 30, 2005, Sakurai announced that he had formed his own company, Sora Ltd. As for the future of the Super Smash Bros. series, former HAL Laboratory President and former President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, during the Nintendo E3 2005 press conference, promised an online iteration of the game would come to their latest video game console, the Nintendo Wii. In issue #885 of Famitsu magazine, Sakurai first revealed that he would be serving as a director and game designer on Nintendo's highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Sakurai developed the game alongside personnel borrowed from Game Arts.
Like Melee, Sakurai maintained a site devoted to Brawl's gameplay developments, called the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Unlike Smabura-ken, which was written only in Japanese, the website was made available in multiple languages.
Brawl was released in early 2008. It became one of the Wii's highest-selling games and received high critical reception like Melee, its predecessor.
Kid Icarus: Uprising and Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
Following the release of Brawl, Sakurai and Satoru Iwata formed a Nintendo subsidiary called Project Sora for the purpose of developing the first new entry in the Kid Icarus series in 21 years. Titled Kid Icarus: Uprising, the game featured 3-D flying on-rails shooting segments as well as 3rd-person action sequences on the ground, a great departure from the 2-D action the first two Kid Icarus games provided. At E3 2011, Iwata announced that Sakurai would be working on the next installment of Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS once his team was complete with the development of Kid Icarus: Uprising.
After the team at Project Sora disbanded, Sakurai began development[2] for the new Smash games with Bandai Namco on February 21, 2012. He announced that wanted the 3DS version to be more of an "individual" and "customizable" experience where, hypothetically, the player could take a customized character and upload it to the Wii U version.[3]
Like Melee and Brawl, Sakurai developed a site devoted to the new game, however information about the game was shown through photos rather than text. From June 11th, 2013 until December 4th, 2014, Sakurai began posting a "Pic of the Day" every weekday in the the new Director's Room community on Miiverse. These photos were additionally posted on the official website and linked to the original Miiverse posts.
Sakurai developed calcific tendonitis near his right shoulder in February of 2013, which causes pain during arm movement. Sakurai mentioned that this could substantially slow down his current work, as he does some game testing himself.[4]
Following the release of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, Sakurai began developing downloadable content with a smaller team at Bandai Namco. The sixth and final wave of downloadable content was released on February 3rd, 2016.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was announced on March 8th, 2018 via a Nintendo Direct under the working title Super Smash Bros. Shortly after, Sakurai confirmed that he had been working on the game "in silence day after day".[5][6] In the Nintendo Direct at E3 2018, Sakurai made an appearance and unveiled the roster, official title, and some mechanics for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Chipotle Wings with Roasted Poblano Dipping Sauce
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: These wings are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The spices are warm and toasty and just a little hot. Love that heat? Double the chipotles and get the fire extinguisher ready! Allow at least 4 hours (and up to 24 hours) for the wings to marinate. You can make the Roasted Poblano Dipping Sauce up to 2 days in advance, so the whole dish makes for an excellent do-ahead.
—The Weiser Kitchen
Makes: 36 pieces
Roasted Poblano Dipping Sauce:
poblano peppers, stem, ribs and seeds removed
small jalapeño pepper, stem, ribs and seeds removed
small onion, peeled
cloves garlic, peeled and halved, any green centers discarded
bunch (small) fresh cilantro, stems and leaves
teaspoon olive oil
teaspoon salt
small lime (juice and zest)
Chipotle Wings
teaspoon ground guajillo chili powder
teaspoons ground ancho chili powder
teaspoons ground cumin
canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
tablespoons adobo sauce (from the can)
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
tablespoons fresh marjoram or oregano leaves
teaspoon white vinegar
cups jarred sweet roasted red bell peppers, drained
3 to 3½
pounds chicken wings, drumettes and wing portions separated, wing tips removed
- Make the Roasted Poblano Dipping Sauce: Heat a grill to high heat. Place the peppers on the grill and grill for until the skins are blackened and blistered (about 2 to 3 minutes). (This can also be done directly over a gas flame; hold the peppers on a long-handled fork and let the skins char.) Place the charred peppers in a heat-resistant bowl and cover with plastic wrap or foil. Let stand for about 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
- Scrape the blackened skin off the peppers (it will come off fairly easily) and place the peppers into blender or food processor. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and lime juice and zest and blend until smooth. Pour into a container, cover, and refrigerate until serving. (This can be made up to 2 days in advance).
- Marinate the chicken wings: Combine the guajillo and ancho chili powders, cumin, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, pepper, marjoram or oregano, vinegar, and roasted peppers in a small blender or food processor and blend for about 2 minutes, until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into a large sealable plastic bag and add the chicken wings. Seal securely, releasing as much air as possible first, and smoosh to coat the wings well. Place the bag into a large bowl (to prevent spillage) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- When you are ready to roast the wings, preheat the oven to 385°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a broiling or grill rack on top. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don't touch. Discard the bag with the remaining marinade (see Kitchen Tip). Roast for 10 minutes, turn with tongs, and roast for 5 more minutes. Increase the oven temperature to broil and broil for 2½ to 3 minutes per side, until crispy. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
- Tips: A. The chemicals in chili peppers that cause that wonderful feeling of heat on the tongue can cause a not-so-wonderful feeling if they get into your eyes—and can share the love with other foods on your menu. To avoid cross-contamination, avoid touching your face or eyes after cutting and trimming hot chilies. Change work surfaces and knives. Some cooks wear plastic gloves. B. Chipotle chili is the name for the fiery smoked jalapeño. It is sold in a variety of formats, often canned in adobo sauce, a condiment made of chilies and spices. For a milder flavor, you can just use a little less. The remaining chipotles in adobo will keep, refrigerated in an airtight container, for 2 weeks. C. Ask your butcher to separate the drummettes and wings and remove and discard the inedible wing tips. D. Discard the marinade when you are ready to cook, as it may harbor dangerous foodborne bacteria. Some recipes suggest that you can kill any bacteria by boiling a marinade for 15 minutes but this is not true—and not safe.

Therefore, God and the gods are only convenient means—themselves of the nature of the world of names and form, though eloquent of, and ultimately conducive to, the ineffable. They are mere symbols to move and awaken the mind, and to call it past themselves. This recognition of the secondary nature of the personality of whatever deity is worshiped is characteristic of most of the traditions of the world. In Christianity, Mohammedanism, and Judaism, however, the personality of the divinity is taught to be final—which makes it comparatively difficult for the members of these communions to understand how one may go beyond the limitations of their own anthropomorphic divinity. The result has been, on the one hand, a general obfuscation of the symbols, and on the other, a god-ridden bigotry such as is unmatched elsewhere in the history of religion. For a discussion of the possible origin of this aberration, see Sigmund Freud, Moses and Monotheism (translated by James Strachey; Standard Edn. XXIII, 1964).

After I turned in my last article, I thought of so many other instances of how my community pays big dividends:
- We got a 50-pound bag of free flour when a warehouse had a fire which slightly damaged the packaging
- At an auction, an acquaintance wanted a single item, but she had to buy the whole box to get it. Inside the box was a bag of clothespins that I'd been looking for. I offered her a dollar, but she just gave them to me.
- A pig farmer in the neighborhood called the other night: Did we want one of the pigs he couldn't sell? We just had to pay the butchering fee, but the meat was free. Next week, I'll be bringing home the bacon.
- When we had our foster son, we borrowed nearly everything. We are also in the process of adopting two kids. One friend, wanting to help, gave me a tub of clothes for our daughter.
- Someone gave us a twin mattress, but we didn't need it so we passed it on.
Serendipitous swapping
I got an email this afternoon from a friend who wanted old, wooden boxes. She offered to buy them, or trade them for baked goods or manual labor. She must have been feeling really desperate, because she said she would even do some ironing. I've been storing one of those boxes in my garage that I rescued from the trash. I would like to ask for some wall-painting assistance, but if the timing doesn't work out, I'll probably just give it to her.
I've also been the recipient. We don't drink much coffee at our house, but when we have a need, Mr. Coffee perks up to fulfill it. The coffeemaker was one of the things my husband brought to the marriage, so I'm not exactly sure how old it is. But it's old enough to be simple (you know, no programmable anything). I like it. That's why I was disappointed when I broke the coffeepot. As I said, we don't drink a lot of coffee. Which means, if you read between the lines, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new one. Besides that, the guts of Mr. Coffee worked just fine.
One of my friends volunteers at an intake center for household items and clothes that get sorted and then given to people in the community or sent on to other areas of the country/world.
"Hey," I said. "You probably think I am crazy, but I'm looking for the coffeepot mate to my Mr. Coffee machine. If you happen to get a lone coffeepot, can I have it?"
I expected to limp along, coffee-less, for months, but she found one the next day. It's not an exact fit which means we have to wait until the coffeepot is full before we move it. I like this story for a couple reasons:
First, according to mrcoffee.com, a similar coffeepot – excuse me, decanter – replacement would cost me $15.99. Since my particular model is no longer offered, it probably wouldn't work as well as the one we have (which doesn't work as well as the one I broke, but c'est la vie).
And second, besides saving money, I'm tickled that two useless things are useful when used together. My friend was happy to help, and I appreciated her work. Once again, we worked together.
The real benefit of community
All these things are minor, compared to how my community has changed my life.
- This April, we had three hours' notice before we brought our foster son home from the hospital. Within five minutes of texting our news, I had 10 people offering to pick up diapers, formula, blankets, clothes, or anything else I needed.
- In the next few months, we will be traveling internationally to get our two adopted children. I have been inundated with offers to help. Clothes? Stuff to entertain the kids on the flight home? Meals in the freezer?
- Three years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. People brought me food as I recuperated from surgery.
I appreciated all these things. But the biggest thing happened over a decade ago.
When I was 18 years old, my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
We didn't ask for help. But then again, we didn't need to.
I, a bewildered teenager, watched the kindness and compassion of those around me. They brought us meals. They helped with laundry. One friend organized a schedule of volunteers to take my dad to his daily radiation therapy appointments, two hours away.
But it didn't stop there. My father was a farmer. The year of his cancer diagnosis, he planted the crops, but by the time harvest time rolled around, he was physically unable to work at all. Our family's entire annual income was literally in the field. Someone found enough volunteers to not only harvest his crops, but clean all the equipment at the completion of the harvest season. They were busy with their own lives, but not too busy to put in long hours for someone else.
After he died, trusted men from our community developed relationships with my brothers that have continued to this day. In fact, when my brother was married a few weeks ago, one of those men conducted the ceremony.
Those acts of kindness made such an impression on me that I'm crying as I write this many years later. The magnitude of what was done for my family is incredible. I can't repay these things. I don't even know who some of those people were.
What I can do is help someone else. And I hope you understand that when I see someone in need, I don't help them because of my debt to my community. Not really. I help them because out of my gratitude that someone did it for me.
Saving me $15.99 by finding me a coffeepot saves me some money. And that's nice. But when you're down and someone gives you a hand to pull you up? That's priceless.

I am using acd212-50. CH.A measure AC current, CH.B measure AC voltage.
I need to log the RMS AC current , RMS AC voltage & RMS power every minute for one day.
Please advice me what is the best way to do.
It seems picologger cannot output RMS measurements. Am I correct?
The way I am doing now is paste a link to Excel, then use Excel to work out the RMS power. Unfortunately, it jsut update the same location.
Is there any Excel macro already available that I can use in order to log the results and analyse them later.
Thank you. :(

Hilliard Lyons, along with the Wharton School and College of Financial Planning, is rolling out a new wealth planning course for advisors that aims to improve personalized service to clients.
The program provides strategies, leadership development, practice management skills, and insights into the latest technologies that can help advisors improve and strengthen their relationships with high-net-worth individuals, according to Hilliard Lyons.
Darryl Metzger, the firm's executive vice president and director of the Private Client Group, says 200 advisors have already enrolled for the course, which begins in the spring of 2016.
The training also complements AWMA certification, Metzger says. Advisors, however, still have to go through the CFFP to get the certification.
The six-month course requires advisors to train out of Hilliard Lyons's office in Louisville Ky., before switching to online training, and later ending at Whartons campus in Philadelphia.
Especially in todays world, with the ongoing commoditization [of investment advice] in place, the way you run your business ultimately leads to betterment of clients, says Chris Geczy, academic director, Wharton Wealth Management Initiative.
Hilliard Lyons wants advisors and branch managers to have expertise deal with high net-worth clients, technical knowledge, and leadership development and also practice management skills, Geczy says.
According to Metzger, the program will continue to enhance the skills and technical knowledge based on what is going on in the business right now, any tax law change or any fundamental changes will be covered.
Hilliard Lyons based the program on similar training that was recently rolled out to the firm's branch managers. Shawn Perry, a branch manager in Bowling Green, Ky., said the training focused on wealth-planning essentials, and included leadership instruction taught by Todd Henshaw, director of executive leadership programs at the Wharton School. Metzger adds that in addition to the school's faculty, the course also involves attorneys and lawyers working with Hilliard Lyons.
Perry says that he hopes to pass on some of what he learned in the course in his capacity as a branch manager. He expects the leadership training, especially, will help him guide younger advisors on his team.
Perry said he already had a personal touch with clients, going into the course. He recalled driving nearly 4 hours to get from Bowling Green to Middleton, Tenn., just to meet with a prospect. Both he and Metzger agree that clients feel more comfortable in a setting they are used to being in, and talking in person aids the planning process as a whole.
Firms throughout the industry offer training programs, but Metzger remains confident that the new course will help to differentiate his Hilliard Lyons. Geczy agrees.
Theres a huge amount of knowledge out there," Geczy says. "And at Wharton, we help [advisors] try to understand what is value adding, [and what is not].

So I had to speak yesterday with less than a day's notice. After Peter was finished explaining his conversion, I didn't have 15 minutes as warned, but a full 30 minutes to fill. Scary stuff, especially for this very hard-to-please ward and a pair of nervous investigators. But the Lord blessed me with loaves and fishes of material. I spoke on what it's like to be a new member of the church, reminding the members that they can't just say Mormon jokes and not sit by these people or else everything gets really exclusive and unhelpful for the missionaries. I got to talk about Alma and Amulek's friendship, Boyd K. Packer's spiritual medicine (prayer, service and bearing testimony), and describe some real investigators I taught back in Weymouth to get the members to imagine what it's like. Every new convert came up afterward and thanked me for saying what they're all thinking...it was my very first talk that I didn't write down, and definitely the longest I'd ever given, but the Lord blessed us with His spirit and me with calmness.
Tricia came to church! We've taught her for a few months now, and she managed to overcome her fears and attend for the first time. I couldn't be prouder of her. Some people we teach are so ready for the Gospel and recognize its healing portents immediately...some need to experiment and read and pray to determine whether it's a good thing or not, let alone whether it's necessary. The Spirit is preparing the hearts of the people and some just cook a bit slower than others. (
Island culture
features SLOWNESS as its top speed for doing anything, so it's hard to get
things underway at a normal American speed.) President Shamo wants us to
baptize in November (check) and on Christmas Eve/Day as a present for the
Savior. It feels all sorts of idealized when you say "white
Christmas" and you mean white jumpsuits. I hope we can manage it--all our
baptismal dates vanished, so we're back at square one. We'll see. Heck, we
baptized TWO people in November--what more do you want? :)
Here's our 4 new investigators we're praying for: (Join us!)
-Jane. Recovered addict, lives alone. She was given a Book of Mormon some years ago, and she reads it regularly. She says she feels so much peace from it. She reminds me so much of Lauren Lippens :)
-Claire. No real belief in God, but she does believe in angels. Very busy. We've taught her a first and she agreed to read and pray. We're hoping she'll make time for us to come and teach in her home.
-Cindy. She has one teenage daughter and many, many rats. Many rats. They scamper around the house and have wrecked the furniture. She's not a hoarder, just not all that sensible. She felt the Spirit so much while we were there and clearly wants to follow God.
-Morris. 21, from
, here working. The elders
met him and he agreed to meet us. Not too much religious background beyond Catholicism,
but we taught him the restoration and he said he'd keep an open mind. Good guy. Portugal
Last Monday we went to the Jersey War Tunnels, which is the
the Nazis used when they
occupied the island. There wasn't a camp here, but if you were found with a
radio, you were shipped off to Underground Hospital
to be in a camp with everyone else. Everything was rationed, Jersey girls dated
German soldiers and were ostracized, no one was allowed to drive cars or go
fishing, a curfew was instigated, people tattled on one another, people drowned
trying to escape...the occupation lasted for five years with very few civilian
casualties, but they were really isolated from Churchill's attempts in the UK.
The museum was really cool--lots of propaganda and photos of heroes. We were
given mock passports of Germany Jersey citizens before
going in. My girl was 18 years old. She was approached by a German soldier
(attacked, jumped, whatever) and she told him to back off. She got arrested and
died in Ravensbruck. Sad days. It was a really cool place to visit, just to see
the history of this place.
Our more edifying experience of the week was our movie night; Sister Christensen received 17 Miracles from her dad, so we invited the ward to watch it with us. 17 Miracles is about the Willie and Martin Handcart companies, and it was so cool to see everyone be so British, including Alex Mackenzie (she played a Scottish woman, but whatever) who used to be YW President here. If you haven't seen it, see it. Ignore the cheesy bits (T.C. Christensen, what were you thinking?) because it's fantastic. Everyone was crying. There were a couple less-actives there and even a nonmember husband who attended. Huzzah! Best day ever!
The other bit of news is that this afternoon we're off to
Reading for the Sisters Conference and will be able to do
an exchange in the at the temple!
Whether we can attend, I don't know yet. The elders in Peckham and places close
by visit on pday, so I hope we can go in. If anything, we can go in a month
when they fly us out for Christmas! It'll be so nice to see everyone again :) Visitors
Love from,
Sister Willard
P.S. No meat on Thanksgiving was a little degrading, not gonna lie.

About the course
About this subject
This online and part-time Postgraduate Certificate in Infection Control qualification gives students an introduction to the world of microbiology. The course equips nurses and other healthcare practitioners with the skills necessary to lead best practice in this area, including an understanding of the world of microbiology and the management strategies useful for patient care and the prevention of further spread of an infectious disease.

Coming off yet another victory the previous week, the Os had high expectations for their game against the Phenoms. Their recent run of success had them winning 50% of their previous 8 games. However, the Os were not ready for the fast breaking of the Phenoms.
The Os got off to a slow start in the game, while the Phenoms managed to get out to some easy scores on fast breaks and hit several open outside shots. Before the Os had gotten into a rhythm, they were already down by double digits. Despite the deficit, they fought on in true Os style. Turning a big deficit into a learning experience, they were able to work on their offense and ended up scoring the fourth most points they had scored in 2006, a solid performance.
Several Os had memorable performances. Roster Guard had an O record 6 assists to go with his 7 points. E-Bomb and Steve-O were critical in the middle with 6 points each and 9 and 5 rebounds respectively. However, the Ophy voting came down to a battle between Buckets and Lil' Joe. Buckets put together 6 points and 3 rebounds (both career highs) to garner 3 Ophy votes. He was also complemented for his "hot 3-on-1 action," in which he single handedly scored 2 of his baskets against 3 Phenoms defenders. Despite his efforts, Lil' Joe walked away with the Ophy because "he had to win it sooner or later." Along with that reasoning were his 7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

A Mobile Phone That Can Only Text?
I know it wouldn't be called a mobile phone if you can't actually use it to make a phone call, but wouldn't it be great if there was a device that was shaped like a fat mobile phone, kind of like an old school Pager but with a nice keypad, that you could only send and receive texts with. No phone calls at all. I know this seems a little backwards in terms of technology moving forward and all that, but surely I can't be the only one who wants a device like this? I found somewhere else where people are talking about this.
I have done a little research on this subject and I am aware that there has been a few devices like this out there for sale in the past that have now been discontinued. It would be nice to see a new one introduced to the market. I think there is a market for them. Not everyone likes talking on a mobile phone, I am one of those people. And as long as someone can get a message to me, and me reply back to them, that's enough for me. A text-only device would also be extremely useful for deaf people. Some people have suggested buying an old mobile phone like a Nokia 3210 and just using that to send texts.
But I'm after a device that doesn't have the ability to make a call - No ear speaker or mic. Like a pager which takes a normal SIM card but with a nice integrated keypad to write / type with. Someone needs to come up with a device like this. I'm sure there would be people that would jump at the chance to buy one. I bet they could be made for cheap too. I wonder who owns the Patent for a device that takes a SIM card which can only text. If its a company with good financial status that can pump some money into making such a device (Prototypes etc) they are missing out on a potentially huge market here. Peter Jones?.. What are you playing at?
Of course, for a big majority of the people who can't last the day (Or the hour!) without their Smartphone this idea is going to sound crazy. Like asking them to go and live on an Island on their own for a month..But not everyone cares much about being "Connected to everything" 24/7, constantly bombarded by Whatsapp messages, "Breaking News" and Facebook updates. Some of us just don't care. And some just hate using mobile phones (Me).
Have you taken a look around outside lately? Been on a bus? A Train, or anywhere that has crowds of people. How many people do you see with their heads down, totally oblivious to the world, mesmerised by their Smartphones. These days everything is more virtual, people seem to be almost in a trance. Real life conversations and real connections are being minimised more and more, and I think this virtual world, where you can basically live on your mobile phone is to blame. Mobile phone addiction! Give me an old school mobile phone (Not a Smartphone), a text only device, or even a pay as you go land line which takes a SIM card any day. Now there's an idea!

DO BLOG COMMENTS ON SITE HAVE SEO VALUE?Permalink
Just wanted to share my experience about SEO that do blog comments on site have SEO value or not. According to my opinion Commenting is the best way to connect with any blogger personally. While it can take time to create such connections, once you are regularly commenting, you will be noticed by the site's administrator and other co-bloggers. The development of these connections can prove to be very helpful to you in the long term.
Anything that adds value is appreciated by everyone.In order to take maximum advantage of commenting, follow these simple rules :
-Try to be the first to comment.
-Write detailed comments, using a minimum of 4 lines.
-Make sure you have an image added with your email address.
Commenting with your keyword as a name has a great advantage in terms of SEO, though many bloggers might see it as a spam and not accept such comments. But if you comment without self- promotion, and add more value to the post, your comments will be gratefully accepted.
Hope you guys find this information useful.
Warm Regards

J. Cole Reveals 'Neighbors' Beat Is 'Forbidden Fruit' in Reverse
J. Cole is using his "4 Your Eyez Only Tour" to make a statement on the prison system, but he's also using it to show off some special on-stage tricks for longtime fans.
During a portion of the show in Anaheim on Sunday (July 9), Jermaine stopped performing "Forbidden Fruit" off his 2013 album Born Sinner. When his DJ played the song backwards, it bled into "Neighbors," leading many to wonder if the "Neighbors" beat was simply the "Forbidden Fruit" instrumental played in reverse.
According to Complex, the beats are not exactly in sync when "Forbidden Fruit" is played in reverse, but the songs are similar. The site claims that snares were removed from the cut and that the tempo was shifted. Nevertheless, fans have been excited about the concert revelation that had previously gone unheard.
"Forbidden Fruit" and "Neighbors" sample Ronnie Foster's "Mystic Brew," a track that was also famously sampled by A Tribe Called Quest for "Electric Relaxation."
J. Cole kicked off his "4 Your Eyez Only" arena tour last week. It is set to continue through Aug. 20 with Bas, J.I.D., Ari Lennox, and Anderson .Paak on select dates.
Tickets are available now.

The story of Exodus is becoming nearly as lengthy and weighty as the biblical book of the same name. Shoot, with the return of Steve 'Zetro' Souza to the ranks, there's even a New Testament comparison, which is the obvious parallel to the parable of the prodigal son. However, the more
Have you ever received a gift in a "fake box"? You get a gift, thoughtfully wrapped in festive paper and you tear it open to reveal that thing you've always wanted; a new play station or an Ipod or whatever it is the kids long for these days. You open the box to expose the true contents...
You know who Steve 'Zetro' Souza is. He's the highly combustible, wildly entertaining and never stationary lead singer of Exodus. Wait, what? He's back in Exodus again? Sure is. They've got a new record out now and he wants you to know all about it and how we came to be here. But don't worry, he's not abandoning Hatriot, either.

When bands like High On Fire, who lead the way in the world of sludgy stoner metal, get praised to the hilt, I'm often left confused as to what it is I'm missing out on.

Certain phrases don't appear to make any sense. We hear them, and even without letting our minds pour over the intricacies language can convey, we instinctively know there's something wrong with them. I'm reminded of this as I prepare to listen to Khold's "Til Endes".
Orange Goblin have toiled in the metal circuit for a long time, longer than most suspect. It's coming up on twenty years since their debut under the name "Our Haunted Kingdom" on a split EP with Electric Wizard in 1996.
I don't think it will come as any surprise when I say that metal, more than any other musical genre, is a lifestyle as much as it is a style of music. You've got your "heshers" who wear their love of metal on their sleeves.
Toronto's Crimson Shadows understands their genre better than most.
I come into contact with a lot of people who do not share my musical tastes, and I notice certain trends among them that often catch me by surprise.

USCIS announced a redesign to the Permanent Resident card (also known as a Green Card) and the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as part of the Next Generation Secure Identification Document Project. USCIS will begin issuing the new cards on May 1, 2017.
The redesigns use enhanced graphics and fraud-resistant security features to create cards that are more tamper-resistant than the ones currently in use. The new Permanent Resident cards and EADs will:
1. Display the individuals photos on both sides;
2. Show a unique graphic image and color palette:
a. Green Cards will have an image of the Statue of Liberty and a predominately green palette;
b. EAD cards will have an image of a bald eagle and a predominately red palette;3. Have embedded holographic images;
4. No longer display the individuals signature; and
5. Also, Permanent Resident cards will no longer have an optical stripe on the back.
Some Permanent Resident cards and EADs issued after May 1, 2017, may still display the existing design format as USCIS will continue using existing card stock until current supplies are depleted.

Two related janitorial companies, Paragon Building Maintenance, Inc. and Pegasus Building Services Company, Inc., of Long Beach, California have settled claims with Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) (formerly known as the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practice) of the Department of Justice by agreeing to pay a penalty of $115,000 and to create a back pay fund of $30,000 to compensate eligible workers who lost pay due to these documentary practices. The settlement resolves the IERs investigation into whether the companies violated the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by discriminating against work-authorized immigrants when checking their work authorization documents.
The IER concluded Paragon and Pegasus routinely requested that lawful permanent residents show their permanent resident cards (green cards) to prove their work authorization while not requesting specific documents from U.S. citizens. Lawful permanents residents often have the same work authorization documents available to them as U.S. citizens, and may choose other acceptable documents besides the Permanent Resident Card to prove they are authorized to work. The investigation further revealed that the companies required lawful permanent resident employees to re-establish their work authorization when their permanent resident cards expired, even though federal law prohibits this practice.
Under the settlement, the companies also have agreed to post notices informing workers about their rights under the INAs antidiscrimination provision, train their human resources personnel, and be subject to departmental monitoring and reporting requirements.
This settlement is one of the first for the IER since President Trump took office. It will be interesting to see if the IER is as aggressive toward employers under the new president as they were in the last few years of the Obama administration.

The USCIS recently announced that Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards) do not always include the holders signature. Since February 2015, the USCIS we has been waiving the signature requirement for people entering the United States for the first time as lawful permanent residents after obtaining an immigrant visa abroad from a U.S. Embassy or consulate.
Additionally, in limited cases, the USCIS may waive the signature requirement for certain people, such as children under the age of consent, or individuals who are physically unable to provide a signature.
When the USCIS issues a Permanent Resident Card without a signature, the card will say Signature Waived on the front and back of the card where a signature would normally be located.

Your majesty, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo –Addo, tamer of wild elephants, keeper of the Jubilee House now Flagstaff house and soon to be Jubilee House, Commander in-Chief of all the warriors of the Gold Coast, the one who is Excellent.
I wish I could prostrate straight before you in greetings but here is not the Aso Rock Villa or well, the Qasr Al Hukm. I bring you greetings from the house of Tozzy, master of coin and keeper of the holiest of all foods, Kenkey.
There is a simple truth that doesn't seem to occur to anyone or they simply choose to ignore and I know your people won't tell you unless someone else draws your attention to it.
The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Arts
In all humility Mr. President you should give the same weighting to this Ministry as you would the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Finance and Foreign Affairs.
It seems to appear that wearing "African Print" dresses with a couple of beads (our definition for culturally oriented), being a radio entertainment pundit, some star of a sort or since 2008 just being a woman is enough a qualification for that office.
They dish that office out just to compensate blocs. It doesn't seem to appear that we treat that Ministry as a revenue generating unit that can create millions of direct and indirect jobs.
But actually, Tourism is the Fourth highest Foreign Exchange earner for this country after oil, gold and cocoa it should be given very serious attention
According to the World Tourism & Travel Council, Tourism contributed GHC 6. 24 billion ($1 .73 billion) in 2013, which is 7.2% of our total GDP below a global average of 9.2%.
This is significantly below that of Kenya's 12.1% (we have a relatively stable region compared to Kenya). This means that ones commodities are taken out, tourism earns more and it is more stable than the volatile prices of these commodities.
Tourism in 2004 accounted for 214.7 million jobs globally and 124,500 direct jobs (imagine the indirect jobs) in Ghana.
But although the WTTC forecasts a 4.5% per year growth for tourism, it has rather been dwindling over the years. We should pay attention to this sector if we must create jobs and generate money as a country.
Your Excellency,
In Nigeria, their creative arts industry employs over 1,000,000 people, I repeat One Million people, producing about 2,500 movies a year among several other art forms. It is the third largest contributor to their GDP only after oil and agriculture. It is the world's second largest movie industry.
It generates $590 million a year.
Hollywood generated $10.8 billion in 2012.
How much does Ghana generate?
"There is no money in Ghana's film industry-Shirley Frimpong-Manso" I swear this is what google gave me. Allah! We don't even have a single name for our industry!! (GhallyWood, GhallyGold, KumaWood, GhanaFilms etc) even the legendary "Kweku Ananse" won't understand this confusion. I really can't think far!
But Your Excellency, how can there be money in such a potentially robust industry if we appoint Ministers to that portfolio only to attend funerals on behalf of the President, to attend catering school graduation ceremonies and music shows just to present awards?
How can we make money if we don't give equal weighting to that industry as we give sports, finance and trade? How can we make money if we give that portfolio to radio pundits and soft porn directors parading as pioneers of creative arts? How can we make money if we allowed 'Kum Kum Bagya' and 'What Live Took From Me' to reign supreme on all our televisions stations while local contents are rotting on people's desk? We won't and we can't unless we change.
Your Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo, please don't repeat this mistake.
If your people suggest someone for that Ministry to you and that individual can't brand Antoa or Nogokpo to attract visitors like the Vatican or he or she is not as robust in economic thought as Dr. Bawumia or your Trade Minister to be, then your highness kindly make that person a Minister of State at the Presidency just for "Shege" reasons.
Thank you wise one for your ears.
Prince Amatey Korley

I asked a friend who spent years as a Deadhead (and now is a high-powered, Armani-clad business journalist who shall remain unnamed to protect his new image), what he thought about going to see Phil Lesh on his latest tour. "Deadheads think of him as part of a unit, an extraordinary part of an extraordinary unit, but not his own guy," he said. Lesh doesn't have a great voice, he reminded me. "He has a voice that's melodic simply because of its instrumental musicality. The only reason he can sing is that he plays bass so well, and knows his instrument so well that he can't be off-tune."
"But then again," he said, "it probably would bring back some very good memories."
So the question was: Is Phil Lesh and Friends more about new music or about new interpretations of Grateful Dead standards? Turns out it's the latter. With Warren Haynes (of the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule) and Jimmy Herring (who replaced Dickie Betts in the Allman Brothers Band) on guitar, Rob Barraco (of the Dead-like jam-band Zen Tricksters) on keyboards and John Molo (long with Bruce Hornsby) on drums, the playlist is almost all Dead standards and songs they covered.
"The be-all and end-all for a Grateful Dead fan would be if he's doing 'Unbroken Chain' from the Mars Hotel album," my friend said. (Lesh recently did: at the Jones Beach Amphitheater on July 14.) "Now that I know he's doing all these very cool Dead songs," he said, "I'd go." See for yourself Thursday, July 25, at Alltel Pavilion. --Richard Hart

My fascination with 3D started when I was about ten years old. My parents bought "us kids" a Tru-Vue stereoscopic viewer. If memory serves (which it occasionally does), it was this one (at right), a model number 502. It was the kind that had no internal illumination, you had to hold it up to the light. It took rectangular cards, like the one shown below, rather than the discs used by the ViewMaster. You advanced through the pictures by pressing the red lever. Each of the cards came in its own envelope, and as you can see in the picture, cost 49 cents! In 1957 the Tru-Vue viewer cost about $2.00.
To give a bit of history, the Tru-Vue company was founded in 1931, and grew and flourished through the 1930's and 40's. The original viewers were created as a "modern" update of the 19th Century stereoscopes, and were designed in the "streamline moderne" style. They used 35mm filmstrips, generally containing 14 stereo views, which were pulled through the viewer using a lever. By 1939, they were selling over a million reels of film. In 1950, they introduced their first color films, to compete with their main rival, View-Master, made by Oregon-based Sawyer's Photo Services. The View-Master had been introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair, originally intended as an alternative to the scenic postcard. The main subjects of View-Master reels were popular tourist locations like Carlsbad Caverns and the Grand Canyon.In 1951, Tru-Vue was purchased by Sawyer's. In addition to eliminating their main rival, the takeover also gave Sawyer Tru-Vue's licensing rights to use Disney characters.
That's where I came in. I didn't care much for the "scenic" views. They looked kind of flat and unreal. But I loved the Disney scenes with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Lady and the Tramp. I liked the characters, sure, but what really caught my imagination were the ingenious cartoon sets they appeared in, the cartoon streets, cafés, houses, shops, back alleys.
Before computers, before CGI and computer games and 3D Studio Max, this was my virtual world. Of course, analytically I knew these were models made by Disney artists, but in my imagination, the streets went on and on. I imagined walking down that cartoon street, turning that corner, and discovering a whole new scene. Disney artists had supplied the Tru-Vue scene, my imagination took off from there.
And I realized that, yeah, you can pretty much create anything you want. Whatever you can imagine, you can create. And once you've created your own 3D street, maybe someone else can walk down it and turn that corner…

I was considering using my newer credit card for a bigger purchase than I would usually make since I have 6 months interest free. In the past, I haven't gone over 15 or 20% on this card, and have been under 10% on all other cards. Here's my inquiry:
I understand that utilizing 30% or more hurts the score and that it's best to keep it much lower than that. I also understand this rule of thumb to relate to the monthly balance and that, once the balance is paid down to zero, that previous utilization isn't impacting the score. But since the credit reports note the highest balance carried on a card at any point, how does this affect the score? For instance, if I used, say, 60% of my cl on one cc and paid off the balance soon, would that 60% high balance continue to hurt my score even after the balance is paid down? I understand this might be the case if I maxed it out, using something closer to 90%, but I don't wish to go that high.
So how does the scoring work for cc limits? Am I long-term dinged for going over 30%, or does that ding only affect me until I pay off the balance?
It is my understanding that your score is simply a snap shot of your current credit situation. While a higher balance on a card could potentially lower your score one month, with that balance lowered or paid off your score should recover when the new snap shot is taken. It might not recover exactly the same because other items on your report can affect your score too. It could recover to a higher score too. They do not look at past CC balances, only current.
What's the limit on the new card and how much is the purchase?
Thanks for the response, James.
So even though the "high balance" shows up on my credit report, it's not factored into the score (to your understanding)?
The CL is only $1000. It's my first unsecured card after BK that was discharged a little less than a year ago. The purchase is between $600 and $700. I have enough money for it so as to not have to use the cc, but I figured if it won't actually hurt my score (once it's paid off) then perhaps it will make the cc company more likely to give me a greater CLI in the future--the logic being demonstrating that I'm using my card for larger purchases, but still being responsible in paying it off in a timely manner. I'm pretty much only using ccs for building purposes and had been gardening for six months prior to applying for this one. As well, I don't make purchases on my ccs that I don't have the money for, so I'm not venturing into debt trouble here. Just strategizing.
No, it will indeed affect your score.
It depends on when your CC reports the balance to the CRAs. My Cap 1 is due on the 3rd, statements close on the 6th and then they report the balance around the 10th. If I have $700 on the card when they report to the CRAs then that is the new balance that is used to determine the current credit score. $700 balance on a $1000 CL will drop your score compared to a balance <$100 on a $1000CL. It shouldn't be too drastic and like I said, after you pay the card off and it updates the CRAs back to a low balance your score should recover.
You'll be at %70 UTIL which is high but I don't believe it will be considered maxed out. I believe it's over %80 when they start to consider the card maxed out which will drop your score lower. Again, once your balance is paid back down your score will recover.
Thanks again.
Yeah, I totally get the initial balance dropping my score. When I look back at all my reports, I can see the "high balance" for all past balances. Like if i had charged $500, hypothetically, to a cc in December, but paid it off and only charged and paid in full a regular amount like $25/month, it would show my balance as $25, but my "high balance" or "highest balance" (something like that) would still show that old $500. So long as that old, hypothetical,, $500 isn't dragging me down months after I pay the balance in full, I'm happy.
Thanks again, James.

Visordown is reporting that they have a source who has uncovered an unofficial report that Kawasaki has been chosen as the sole motor supplier for the new Moto2 race series. The source goes on to allege that a deal has already been signed for Kawasaki to supply the one-make motors for the class, despite Dorna's claims that the contract is still open for tender. Apparently, the deal has been done on down-low in order to keep Kawasaki involved in the MotoGP racing series.
While we find this news a little hard to swallow, last month Visordown did correctly predict the coming of the single-motor supply rule when team Blusens shelved their Moto2 project. Still if this information is correct, we can only imagine there are more than a few firms that are going to be unhappy about Dorna tendering an offer for bids when its already made its mind up, and we would be surprised if that didn't lead to some legal implications (fraud) for Dorna. Time will tell on this one.

is a nicer place to work and live. The director of Hello Zuidas
makes arrangements with a wide range of involved organizations,
like the National Railway and the municipality. This form of
cooperation decreases the distance between public and private
space. As well as the distance between the Zuidas and its
surrounding area.
It is a task of the management to make the involved parties aware of the necessity of this positive interaction. Entrepreneurs are accountable for cleaning their own private outdoor (patios, courtyards), but Hello Zuidas is the central contact point for defects and improvement.
The Zuidas is a vibrant community for persons who work, live and study here. The safety of these people must be assured. If stakeholders of the Zuidas works together a number of collective measures will improve the area. If this would be realized the Zuidas can obtain the Safe Enterprise Certificate (SEC). With a SEC, it is easy to cooperate with companies, the police and the municipality.
The following activities are planned under the pillar of clean,
complete and safe:
Contact point
Facility Managers of companies, but also employees and residents with complaints
and ideas can visit the site www.hellozuidas.com or go to the central point of the
foundation. Hello Zuidas makes a report and quickly addresses these issues.
The group of facility managers of companies, administrators, stadsdeel Zuid, the
National Railway and other agencies are being consulted about the maintenance,
safety and accessibility of the Zuidas. With local authorities there is a Service Level
Agreement, which sets the standards for the level of maintenance of the Zuidas.
Safe Enterprise Certificate
The Safe Enterprise Certificate (SEC) can be used to investigate the possibilities and
needs for collective security. In the SEC the cooperation of various organizations
(administrators, businesses, police and fire) is stated central.
Collective purchasing
Hello Zuidas offers participants purchasing advantages. The foundation examines
which services such as waste management, energy and security are interesting for
the participants. Hello Zuidas investigates the existing contracts, examines the
possibility for collective purchase benefits, and makes agreements with suppliers.

Welcome to Skull Island!
This map isn't just any normal island. First of all, it's in the shape of a skull! (Totally not obvious!)
Secondly, there are secrets around the island with something dangerous inside the tall volcano. (I recommend going in from the top) There are also dungeons and soon to come bosses that will trigger when you reach certain places on the map.
There are certain spawners around the island that will be dangerous during the night... (Never seen a super charged creeper? Oh that'll change soon enough...)
- Don't spawn in items
- Don't use mods to fly
- Try not to set to peaceful but if you must I can't stop you...
- Reach the Nether
- Have a full set of diamond armor enchanted (it's actually really easy)
- Unleash the Curse
- Explore the mountain starting at from the peak

Critical and Creative Thinking Certificate
Offered online, on campus, or blended
The Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT) program at the University of Massachusetts Boston provides its students with knowledge, tools, experience, and support so they can become constructive, reflective agents of change in education, work, social movements, science, and creative arts.
Critical thinking, creative thinking, and reflective practice are valued, of course, in all fields. In critical thinking we seek to scrutinize the assumptions, reasoning, and evidence brought to bear on an issue — by others and by oneself; such scrutiny is enhanced by placing ideas and practices in tension with alternatives. Key functions of creative thinking include generating alternative ideas, practices, and solutions that are unique and effective, and exploring ways to confront complex, messy, ambiguous problems, make new connections, and see how things could be otherwise. In reflective practice we take risks and experiment in putting ideas into practice, then take stock of the outcomes and revise our approaches accordingly.
The rationale for a Certificate programs of study in CCT is that an explicit and sustained focus on learning and applying ideas and tools in critical thinking, creative thinking, and reflective practice allows students involved in a wide array of professions and endeavors to develop clarity and confidence to make deep changes in their learning, teaching, work, activism, research, and artistry. The experience gained through the pursuit of the Graduate Certificate in CCT leads students to discover new ways to approach their current fields, establish interdisciplinary connections between existing and emerging interests, and bring new thinking into their professional and personal lives and organizations. A study of Critical and Creative Thinking leads to new perspectives and more flexible thinking in one's field of expertise; the Graduate Certificate provides an edge to students as they come to understand their previous knowledge in novel ways as well as explore innovations and new directions.
By the time CCT students finish their studies they are prepared to teach or guide others in ways that often depart markedly from their previous schooling and experience. In these processes of transformation and transfer, CCT students have to select and adapt the ideas and tools presented by faculty with diverse disciplinary and interdisciplinary concerns. Although each CCT course is self-contained and is open to students from other graduate programs, students matriculated in the Program benefit from extended relationships with core CCT faculty and fellow students that support their processes of learning — experimenting and taking risks in applying what they are learning, reflecting on the outcomes and revising accordingly, and building up a set of tools, practices, and perspectives that work in their specific professional or personal endeavors.
Impact of studies
The CCT Program appeals to students looking for professional and personal development who are interested in learning from and with others of diverse backgrounds and interests. Many are mid-career educators: teachers and college professors, curriculum specialists, museum educators, or educational administrators. Others are policy makers or personnel trainers in government, corporate, scientific, or nonprofit settings. Some are artists, musicians, writers, journalists, and community activists. Through course projects, independent studies, pre-capstone research courses, and the capstone synthesis projects, CCT students explore issues they have not had much chance to address before and translate what they learn into strategies, materials, and interventions for use in diverse educational, professional, and social settings. Graduates leave CCT well equipped for ongoing learning, addressing the needs of their schools, workplaces, and communities, adapting and contributing to social changes, and collaborating with others to these ends. Testimonials and Notes from Alumni of the program can be viewed on the CCT wiki, http://cct.wikispaces.umb.edu/impact. Abstracts and full-text versions of theses and capstone syntheses (showing the range of projects of students completing the entire MA) can be viewed at http://scholarworks.umb.edu/cct_capstone/.

The opening of gravs an awful site
Watch morbid villians scream out in fright
The sickening dead nothing but rot
Just corpses of late left and forgot
They summoned death, death shall be yours!!
Doom laden victims obey sick demands
Praying to violence devouring the land
A sickening death committing the sin
Of opening their graves again and again
It's Gutwrench!!
Gut wrench!!
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/deceased/gutwrench.html

From Shelby, Michigan, USA:
I' m a senior in college and would like to know what makes me so sick after I eat. I do have a malabsorption problem, which the doctor thinks is related to my pancreas because it is better when I take enzymes. About a half an hour after, I eat I get really tired almost passing out, I drink a gallon of water every day, and the only way I can maintain my weight is to eat around 4600 calories. I've even missed classes. I also drink 4 32-ounce bottles of water every day. My doctor tested my blood fasting blood sugar because my aunt and cousin both have diabetes, and it was normal. All the doctor has said is that maybe I should be tested for acromegaly because I am still growing and shouldn't be.
My mom and aunt were sure I had diabetes because the only symptom I don't have is weight loss, but it seems I don't. Could the enzymes cause diabetes? Are there any more tests to tell if someone has diabetes? I just so tired of feeling like this.
It is not possible to diagnose individual problems in a forum such as this. I would suggest reviewing your symptoms at length with your physician.
[Editor's comment: Yes, there are more tests to check for diabetes. For starters, if you've only had a single fasting blood sugar, you could get that test repeated. WWQ]
