Competitive League of Legends is at the pinnacle of eSports. In ESPN's latest edition of their power rankings, the standings turned as Samsung Galaxy took the number 1 spot. They overtook SK Telecom T1, the widely regarded best team in the world. SKT recently took a tumble with losses to multiple teams in the LCK, and analysts are questioning whether this is a permanent of temporary slump. Meanwhile, the top teams from the NALCS and EULCS round out the top 20. Unicorns of Love, Fnatic, and G2 are the top teams from Europe. TSM, Immortals, and Counter Logic Gaming are among North America's top teams. Following a recent NA win at Rift Rivals, experts are project the NALCS to be top contenders for the world championships in a few months. The world championships will be a fantastic event held in the Bird's Nest in China. For now, the power ranking are all we have to go by. Many questions remain, such as whether middle of the pack teams such as Cloud 9 can surge to the top. At the same time, G2 and SKT are looking vulnerable at the top. In the coming months, fans will witness the rise and fall of these rankings, which will largely determine seeding at worlds. While seeding is not the end of the world, it plays a massive factor as to who gets out of the group stages. League of Legends is a game of numbers, and statistics do not lie. The teams at the top of these power rankings have continuously displayed their dominance on the rift and through practice scrims. It is up to them to take this momentum and bring home regional championships.

Avoiding Identity Theft in eSports
Identity theft is becoming increasingly prevalent in online gaming. In League of Legends, a new wave of scams has hit users who unknowingly try to purchase free RP with a credit card. This method of payment has not been authorized by Riot Games, and it is not a valid purchase by any means. Even though the user is logged in to his or her account, the site is not safe from fraud. People will pose as Riot employees and try to extract important information. As players, it is crucial that you refuse to disclose your username and password. After the incident, make sure to report them via the report system. With enough attention, their accounts will be closed and the company can eradicate these imposters.
The support team of Riot Games is working around the clock to address this problem. Most of the frauds use pre level 30 accounts to send messages and trade champions. Therefore, Riot is targeting these low level accounts in the near future. A two step authentication process could help them determine which ones are fake and which ones are real. Because false positives are tragic for desktop games, they need to make sure that their system has no flaws. Champions, runes, and masteries all cost valuable RP that gamers purchase with credit and debit cards. While some MOBAs can get away with little security, LoL does not have this liberty. It is constantly under fire from the North American and East Asian communities. Tracking these hackers must be done on a region by region basis.
D&D Beyond Brings Tabletop Gaming Into Digital Age
March's PAX East saw Wizards of the Coast announce a new digital tool for fans of "Dungeons & Dragons" in "D&D Beyond." Described as a digital toolset co-created by Twitch-affiliate Curse, D&D Beyond will offer a searchable rules database, mechanisms for character and monster generation and easy inventory-tracking for players' treasure. Adam Bradford, Curse's lead producer, commented that while many players already use several home-made digital components in their gaming activities, D&D Beyond is a fully integrated digital product containing the entire 5th Edition library of Dungeons & Dragons.
Tabletop gaming has gone through several incarnations since D&D's introduction in 1974. The proliferation of console and PC gaming fractured tabletop gaming into a variety of sub-genres, forcing WotC to respond by updating its core RPG, introducing the 4th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons; an edition notable for how much it seemed designed to court players of MMORPGs. Compared to 4th Edition, 5th Edition was better received by players, encouraging a focus on gameplay over mechanical familiarity.
Bradford commented that D&D Beyond is the end result of extensive playtesting on the part of WotC; the initial playtest consisted of 160,000 individuals. The product's Beta release will be free product and consists of the Basic Rules, a "Standard Reference Document" and the "Elemental Evil Player's Companion." Players interested in other material will have to pay. Digital sourcebooks will be priced at $29.99 and digital adventures will be priced at $24.99. Bradford noted that the core trinity of texts: "Player's Handbook," "Dungeon Master's Guide" and "Monster Manual," will be discounted at $19.99.
Regarding subscriptions, D&D Beyond will offer two tiers. "Hero" removes advertisements, allows unlimited character creation and access to home-brewed material. "Master" includes all Hero Tier content but also allows Dungeon Masters to share their purchased content with players within their campaign.
Disney Dives into Team Liquid
Disney has invested into Team Liquid, a gaming organization that has stakes in League of Legends, Hearthstone, and Overwatch. In particular, LoL is one of their primary games that has taken off in recent years. Armed with a strong lineup of Lourlo, Reignover, Goldenglue, Piglet, and Matt, this team is looking to prove themselves in the NALCS. Disney has elaborate plans to help them. They will provide funding toward a gaming house equipped with bedrooms, practice areas, and rooms for analysis. With the right infrastructure, Team Liquid can get back on its feet and dominate the competitive scene. Disney is also providing mousepads and gaming chairs that will boost performance instantly. With the world championships approaching, Team Liquid is looking for any way to secure a berth for North America. Disney does not have a huge history in eSports, but they have the membership and money to back themselves up. This partnership has many implications for the future. Team Liquid is planning to use a 10 man roster once again, and this funding will go a long way to pay for players' salaries. Disney has franchises across the nation, which means the team will have a home for whatever tournaments pop up. Riot Games frequently hosts championships in the Midwest and on the East Coast, so Disney resorts will be prime training grounds when the team travels abroad. In addition, eSports in not only limited to LoL. Disney is working closely with other games to provide the best experience for viewers and fans. The players will receive many benefits including an experienced coaching staff. Armed with the strongest weapons, Team Liquid has a promising few months ahead with Disney.
Total War: Warhammer II Promises Big Things
After the release of "Total War: Rome II", many gamers and critics were of the mind that the entire Total War franchise was in serious trouble. After many great early entries, that one disappointed fans with its clunky interface and lack of story or even heart.
Many of those opinions changed with the advent of Total War: Warhammer. Initially, many feared that the company was veering from its roots in historical accuracy with this delve into a dark fantasy realm, but the game itself was received with wide approval from both the players and the critics. In fact, some have said it single-handedly saved both the Total War franchise and their parent company, Creative Assembly.
In fact, the game did so well that the sequel (and likely even a third game) have been the entire focus of the company. No other Total War game entries have been announced. Warhammer II is set to be out this fall, and the trailer is extremely impressive.
The Warhammer editions of Total War have done so well that Creative Assembly has made some promises in development that they have never done before. The developers have built in a special ability to link all the games together into one super map. If gamers have Warhammer and Warhammer II, they will be able to set up a game that allows your faction to spread its color across both maps, since Warhammer II will be taking place on an entirely different continent. The promise has also extended to the likely third edition of the game, which will tie in yet one more of the continents on the planet.
It is quite an ambitious undertaking, but Total War has always had a knack for pleasing fans, most of the time. If Warhammer II and III pay off as well as the first, you can be sure they will continue.
Possible PC Release for Kingdom Hearts 3
Blogs have been buzzing over Square Enix's flagship title, Kingdom Hearts III, ever since transcripts of Director Tetsuya Nomura's interviews began popping up on the web. In a Square Enix Presents E3 livestream, when asked about the release of the game on PS4 and Xbox One, the director confirmed they were keeping other DirectX 11 compatible hardware in mind.
The E3 livestream, which gave hope to millions of fans across the world, is once again on everyone's minds. Thanks to an interview given by Famitsu, a well-known gamer in the Kingdom Hearts fandom, Tetsuya Nomura is once again on record confirming further consideration of taking Kingdom Hearts III to the PC. Specifically, after a solid release on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms.
Touching on the fandom's expectations, and disappointment, at the time it's taken to roll out a Kingdom Hearts update, Nomura argues that focusing on any other platform but the most oft-demanded, the PS4 and Xbox One, would be an injustice to those fans who have so patiently awaited its release.
There's also Kingdom Hearts III's operating system, Unreal Engine 4, which many developers use to create cross-platform games. Most games created on this version of the Unreal Engine are easily translated between PS4, Xbox One, PC, and beyond. In the same interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura acknowledges that Unreal Engine 4 makes Kingdom Hearts III's release on PC a much easier feat.
Still, members of the Kingdom Hearts blog sphere urge fans not to get ahead of themselves, because Kingdom Hearts III is still a couple of years away from being played on our PS4, making the wait for a PC release an even longer one.
'Doom' Gets Epic Update: Version 6.66
Is there an RPG more iconic than 'Doom' in the world of PC games? We don't think so. Bethesda has been on fire with their releases lately, particularly with 'Elder Scrolls Online' and the upcoming 'Skyrim' release for the Nintendo Switch. Still, Bethesda isn't afraid to go back to what got them to where they are and revisit their legendary title, 'Doom'. Just this past week 'Doom' got a hallmark update to the core game with Version 6.66. Far from just a witty titled update, Version 6.66 brings about a whole new experience for players diving into the 'Doom' experience.
The Version 6.66 Update brings about some pretty substantial changes right at the front of the game. Players will see that all of the released DLC content for multiplayer has been unlocked and made available. This DLC includes a slew of new weapons, maps, gear, and demons to battle against in the grimy and gritty game. There is also a neat progression system that has been implemented for evolving all of your guns and gear. As you level up you will see that you can aim for certain tiers to get specific item qualifications for you gears. This is a huge change from the 'randomized' upgrades that had been installed before.
On top of the new changes veteran players will be reset to 0 so that they can try out the progression system from a fresh perspective. In order to make up for the reset there is a 'Slayer Badge' being handed out to these veteran players to honor the hard work that they have put into the game. Among the other small updates with the Version 6.66 patch players will see refined menus, an improved HUD, and revisions to the kill card. This update will hopefully give 'Doom' some new life in the online world.
New Gaming Service Offers Custom PCs Tailored to Your Gaming
Once you play your first gaming computer you will likely never want to go back to consoles. Computers that have been optimized to play the newest games make for wonderful devices that offer power and flexibility right from your fingertips. Unfortunately there is a barrier for entry into the world of PC gaming and it is due in large part to how frustrating it can be to build your own system. The company NZXT is launching their custom computer build company, BLD, in order to erase these barriers and get gamers doing what they do best — playing games.
BLD seeks to bridge the gap between PC gamers and the sort of tech info that you need in order to become one. PC gamers learn to love all of the specs and the details that go into crafting a gaming computer but understandably a lot of people just don't have the time, patience or aptitude to do it. BLD offers gamers the chance to scroll through a library of popular games and select the ones that they want to play. BLD then asks the customer for budgetary information before churning out a custom gaming computer based on their needs. This is an intuitive interface that skips all of the price checking and cross referencing.
Customers interested in the concept can go right onto the BLD website and get going. They'll first select the games they are interested in before selecting their price range. After this happens BLD will lead them to a few optional computer builds and their price point. Clicking on any of these builds will lead them to a page full of spec details, price breakdowns, and an estimated FPS rate for each game selected during the first steps. Shipping is fast and the computers come with easy to assemble instructions.
Dad Dating Simulator is Highly Anticipated
Dad Dating Simulator is Highly AnticipatedDream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is the highly anticipated casual, indie dating simulation game from Game Grumps. The game focuses on the player who will play as a dad where they will meet and romance other hot dads. The basic premise is the player is a dad with their daughter who has just moved to the quiet seaside town of Maple Bay.
The new Dad of the neighborhood sets out to discover everyone else who lives there and finds other, single dateable dads are present in the town. There are seven different dads players can choose to date ranging from a Bad Dad to a Teacher Dad. There are several different awesome dads in the game to date with each one complete with their own endings, minigames, sidequests, and different paths to take.
One of the most anticipated games of the year, players have been waiting eagerly to get their hands on this Dad themed game. There are multiple endings per-Dad, so replayability will be through the roof. One of the aspects of this Dad themed game players will be looking forward to is the ability to play as a single, hot Dad who is dating other Dads. The concept is even packed with so many Dad puns that Game Grumps claims it will make all players uncomfortable.
The Daddy Dating Simulator game was set to come out originally on July 13th but was delayed for several days. The reason being that Game Grumps had been working around the clock to have the game released originally. They suffered from a lack of sleep and after much consideration decided to hold on the release of the game. The delay was needed though so the game developers were able to work out game bugs and other problems with the game to have it ready for its new release date, July 19th.
New App Lets Gamers Bring PC Games With Them on Android Devices
The idea of playing PC games on a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet isn't exactly new. Several titles have been ported to mobile platforms by their developers, but this is only an option for PC games that aren't too demanding on hardware resources, like casual and retro games. Mobile computing devices, like smartphones, tablets and netbooks are designed with portability and energy efficiency in mind, rather than graphics and CPU performance. A Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 just doesn't have the needed hardware to run the latest AAA games like Grand Theft Auto 5.
But what if there was a way to simply use the mobile device as a display and controller, while the actual computing is done in the cloud? After all, there are many cloud-based applications which process and store data remotely. One can also control a virtual cloud server from a smartphone or tablet by using a remote desktop app.
For Android users, there's a new app in the Google Play Store that can actually make that happen. LiquidSky is a service which gives each user a virtual PC they can download and install games on. The cloud-based PC can then be accessed through the Android app, essentially streaming the gameplay video to the mobile device's screen. LiquidSky uses IBM's public cloud infrastructure, which optimizes hardware use and keeps latency to a minimum by matching users to data centers located closer to them.
As the service is still in its beta phase, there are still a few issues being worked out. In order to get a decent gaming experience, an Internet connection with very low latency is a must. There's a free, ad-supported version of the cloud gaming service currently available, which gives gamers the chance to try it out before deciding on whether or not buying a subscription is worth it.

Capitana Cari
I've been spending a lot of time hissing at kids. Or one kid. There is a pack of boys on my street, and they all have individual things they do. One salutes me whenever I pass him. His name is Willis, and he calls me "Capitana." Today, he hid around a corner and then jumped out when I walked by. He poked a twig at me and shouted "give me everything." And then he shook my hand and saluted me. Another boy named Christopher acts like a motorcycle. I like to make raptor noises at him, and then he makes handlebars and vrooms down the sidewalk. Fernando likes to walk past my balcony and hiss at me, and then I hiss back, and he hisses, and we keep doing this until he's out of earshot or I give up and just wave at him. The only problem is that hissing at people is a kind of common way for people to communicate. More specifically, men hiss at women as they walk by to get their attention. There is an internet café across the street from my house, and there's often a group of young men standing there. Last night, I kept hearing hissing, so I'd hiss back, and then I realized that Fernando was not the hisser, and I felt real awkward. There is also a pack of girls who live around the corner. They have crazy names like Eulissa and Nikauli, and they like to whisper in my ears. I played tag with them on Saturday, and now every time I walk by, they wave and I mispronounce their names. I feel very popular.

More than 90% of chief financial officers are confident in blockchain technology and claim they understand how this form of distributed ledger could affect account payables at their U.S. businesses.
But initiatives to introduce it to payments or other use cases are nearly non-existent.
However, 72% of CFOs say they have electronic payables initiatives underway and 26% are considering one, all of them working to launch a paperless system in the next six to 12 months, according to new data from WEX Virtual.
"All of these CFOs know what blockchain is and believe it will transform their business, but no one is doing anything about it," said Jim Pratt, general manager of South Portland, Maine-based WEX Virtual.
The financial and payments industry hear much hype about blockchain and its success as the foundation for bitcoin currency, but remain cautious, Pratt said. "That doesn't mean it won't be a useful technology, it just means that the use cases and applications of blockchain really aren't out there right now."
WEX Inc., a provider of payment processing and information management services for the commercial and government vehicle fleet industry in the U.S., surveyed 500 CFOs across various U.S. businesses earlier this year regarding their views on the payments landscape.
As WEX has expanded from fleet payments to healthcare and other travel sectors, the company has viewed blockchain as "an important technology" that is at least two to three years away from having scale in payments, Pratt said. "But it is important to understand it and its use cases," he added.
Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger that digitally records transaction and other data in "blocks" stored in a linear chain that remains unchanged, thus illustrating it has not been tampered with.
To further advance blockchain development, WEX initiated developer events they describe as competitions in which those studying blockchain technology develop proof of concept proposals for potential products.
"Blockchain is not an application, it's a technology and enabler that will allow for applications to be built on top of it to serve specific purposes," Pratt said. "But before that can happen at any scale, a lot of work has to be done with the technology to address many questions regarding its use."
At the core of that debate, Pratt said, is whether those in financial services and payments can agree if one global distributed ledger should be created, or if various private blockchains will ultimately unfold.
"Until those are answered satisfactorily, it will be difficult to scale," Pratt added.
It might be best for the key players in payments to consider a single blockchain in the future, said Enrico Camerinelli, a senior analyst in wholesale banking and payments for Aite Group based in Milan, Italy.
"It would make more sense for one main blockchain, as we have it already for bitcoins," Camerinelli said. "Having many blockchains will inevitably create integration issues."
The integration concerns are front and center as a potential roadblock for future blockchain projects that unfold beyond those already in place for providers and different use cases like Ethereum, Ripple, Hyperledger, MultiChain, Eris and some private solutions.
"It's mostly interoperability, connecting to different blockchains," Camerinelli said of a key obstacle. Other concerns will address identity recognition and authorization on a blockchain, but the top priority will remain educating businesses about the technology application, he added.
Still, the WEX survey indicates a growing interest in electronic and mobile processes that will improve current payment processes, and reduce operational costs and environmental concerns, while also improving security.
In that regard, WEX has also positioned its virtual payment cards as a logical security step on the payments landscape, one that can operate as a form of tokenization as the EMV chip migration continues to unfold in the U.S.
"CFOs are telling us they want faster innovation and products brought to market more quickly," Pratt said. "It was a pleasant surprise that 39% of them expect that meaningful innovation in payments will come from payment processing companies as opposed to big banks or fintechs."
WEX is hoping it can deliver on the faster innovation through its recent integration with Crawler2api in which the WEX payments services become available to any travel company using Crawler2api for its application interfaces or bots.
As such, Crawler2api operates as a site aggregator for WEX, making the payment integration easier for WEX.
"Ten years ago, we could have done this on our own," Pratt said. "But we would have had to integrate with all of those companies, like integrating into the reservation systems of travel management companies. But now, a company like Crawler2api can do all of that for you."

Seth Meyers on the Unexpectedly Controversial Decision to Sit Down
"It wasn't even a new desk or a new chair, but I'm hoping it will be at least two chapters in Bill Carter's next book."
Seth Meyers made news Monday night doing one of the most mundane things a person can do: sit down. The thing that made it special was that it was during the monologue portion of his late-night show, a place in which people have been standing and telling jokes for over a half-century. It's a subtle change, but ultimately a significant one for a genre that is used to no change whatsoever. Vulture caught up with Seth Meyers to talk about what made him decide to change it up, how this might position him in a post–Jon Stewart world, and how it actually differs as a joke-telling mechanism.
I heard that you have always considered doing a sit-down monologue. What was the catalyst to make you say, "We're going to do it now"?
We have these two weeks in August, then we have a two-week break and then fall starts. As much as it felt like when SNL started, September is the new beginning of the TV season. And more people are certainly tuning in in September. So we figured we'd use these two weeks for sort of a spring-training time, to try out new things, and see how it felt.
You're not the first person ever to sit down. Jimmy Kimmel tried it at first and then eventually gave up because people expect certain traditions. Still, years have passed since then. Do you feel like the audience is more savvy now?
There are so many different shows out there right now. You have to do a lot to really seem unconventional. Again, we're talking about two different positions. (I guess if someone did it crouching that would be a person who would really take the cake.) I had such a short gap between SNL and doing this, and I did want to try something new. I didn't want people to think that I was just going to do the exact same thing I've been doing for so long at SNL, so that's sort of what pulled me to do the classic monologue. The other difference is when you're a 12:30 show and your 11:30 show does a monologue and does it really well, obviously a large amount of your audience has watched that. I don't know why it took so long to come to the conclusion that doing something different might be a smarter way of going about it.
The timing is interesting because it's right after Jon Stewart left The Daily Show, a job in which he sat down. Do you feel like this move could also position your show a little bit differently?
The longer we've done this show, the more we've tried to focus on politics. Certainly, as we enter an election year, politics is going to provide more for us to talk about. The timing is more coincidence than anything else, because it was very specific to the fact that we're coming up on September. But again, I sat for a long time at my last job. It's not like this is something I'm doing for the first time. It was nice yesterday. When you do something new you feel some nerves, but once I started doing it, it was muscle memory reminding me that it had been my delivery system of choice for a very long time.
Something about sitting down makes it feel a little less late-night-y, and a little more like a comedy show. Especially with politics, it demands a little more of a point of view than a normal late-night show tends to have. Are you excited or are you kind of nervous to try to bring a more specific perspective than what would traditionally be expected in a talk-show setting?
If you looked back at the politics that we've done, the stuff that does best for us always has a point of view. That's where audiences are very savvy these days: They respect knowing what hosts believe. They're not looking for someone who's inscrutable or a puzzle, so we're happy to let people know when we're upset or angry about something or feel passionately one way or the other. That always seems to play better, and that is one of the many legacies of The Daily Show. One thing you worry about is if somebody who's in line with your politics makes you angry — you don't ignore it because it's in line with your politics. You also talk about it. You just don't want to let anybody off scot-free.
Do you expect to keep on doing the more headlinelike version, followed by a longer news piece, which just seems demanding, writing-wise?
That's the hardest thing. The last couple weeks, our Mondays have had the longer form thing after the monologue, which almost requires three days leading up to it. In a weird way, a Monday and a Thursday works out pretty well, but we would like to try to do it more often than not. We're always happiest when we write something day of. That always has a nice bit of crackle to it, when you do it. Audiences appreciate it, because when they do the math, they realize, "Oh, that happened last night." Or, "That happened today, so this wasn't something that's sort of been in the bank, waiting."
Ultimately, you're doing jokes that are not incredibly different, but something about the rhythm is different. Can you speak to how a topical joke that is told sitting down with a picture over your shoulder is written or phrased differently?
To some degree, the rhythm is a little different when you're sitting at a desk, but it's pretty much the same material with a slightly different delivery system. Still, there's something about it that I like. It makes it seem a little more serious. When you're telling jokes about politics, it probably helps to be sitting down.
Now, thinking about it, the setup is a little more serious because you're pretending to be a newscaster for the first half of your sentence, instead of just like, "Have you heard about this?"
The thing that I liked about the monologue was you could have those moments where you could comment about the joke in a way you never did in "Weekend Update." "Weekend Update," especially when you have a co-anchor, part of it is keeping it moving. And the same amount of jokes sitting down probably will tend to go by a little bit faster than when you're standing up, because you don't have that burden of needing to have transitions between one idea and another. In a way, the picture changing is taking the place of "Hey, did you guys hear about this?" That one way, it's a little bit different.
How do you feel you did last night? I don't know if you watched yourself, but do you feel like you noticed something different?
Oh, I definitely didn't watch. I watched it with the volume off just to see what I thought about the framing, but, no, I have no interest in watching the first time back. I'll give myself a few days to get back into it before I actually look at it.
How did it feel, though?
Oh, I really liked it. It felt natural and it felt like home, so that was good.
You said you're going to give yourself these two weeks. How are you going to measure the success of it?
To some degree how it feels is the most important thing. Right now, I'm excited about making a change like this that I feel like also has the staff excited. But, obviously, when you do this for as long as I have, you have a lot of people in comedy that you trust, and certainly I'll be doing some informal polling in the days that follow.
Can you mention anyone specifically you're going to ask about how they thought it went?
I would say anyone who was on SNL from like 2006 to 2009 will probably hear from me. That's kind of the core. I'll try to ask Fred [Armisen], although he's very busy with his drumming during the show, so I'll have to find someone who's not doing that.
In a world where people are making jokes about what's happening all day on Twitter, do you think the monologue is still important?
I do, because I still feel like, whereas people like yourself and I spend the whole day on Twitter looking at people making jokes, there are a lot of people who don't. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, they're doing very modern monologues. For people who don't have time, it's a way to sit down and look at a Twitter feed being performed for six to eight minutes, which is like a nice collection of jokes about what's happened during the day. In no way, shape, or form am I abandoning a standing monologue because I think there's anything stale about it. I really like doing it, and for those who do it well, I'm really, really impressed.
I probably should let you go. I feel like you have to talk to about a million more people about sitting down.
It's amazing. Who would have thought sitting down would draw so much attention?
Well, it's a format that people have been doing for decades. So, if you do anything different, it's a big deal.
And it was so funny because, for me in the beginning, the reason I chose to do the conventional thing was to do something different.
And it's not like no one is sitting. The Daily Show and The Nightly Show already exist, but the fact that you sat down on one of the networks.
Yeah, it wasn't even a new desk or a new chair, but I'm hoping it will be at least two chapters in Bill Carter's next book.
That's the new war for late night: standers versus sitters.
This interview has been edited and condensed.

The heuristic value of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's consultations with leaders of the North and South-east on the threat from some northern youth is clearly not in doubt. Its' key constraint was the composition of the zones consulted.
At the last count, he had consulted with political leaders and traditional rulers from those zones as well as all governors. However, there are views that the consultations were not far-reaching to the extent they failed to factor in the south-west and south-south. The contention is that the issues that precipitated the meetings concern all segment of the Nigerian population and would be better addressed by involving all the constituents.
Not unexpectedly, leaders from the three southern zones have picked holes in the composition of the consultations. In a communiqué signed by Afenifere chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo (South-west), former Chief of General Staff, Ebitu Ukiwe (South-east) and former Director-General National Intelligence Agency, Albert Horsfall (South-south), they "rejected the attempt to reduce the current crisis in Nigeria, flowing from the unresolved nationality question to an Igbo and north affair". For them, any further discussions on the matter should be between the entire south and north of Nigeria.
One cannot agree any less. It is true the discussions cropped up on account of the threat by some northern youth against the Igbo. That may have created the impression in the eyes of the government that the two groups have issues to reconcile. Hence, engaging leaders from the two areas in the calculations of the federal government is the best route to douse the tensed atmosphere.
But this thinking is flawed on several grounds. First, there is the presumption the agitations of the pro-Biafra groups is targeted against the northern youth and they had to rise to defend themselves. This is not so. Their grouse is against the Nigerian state. One begins to wonder on whose authority those youth took to self-help appropriating a challenge that falls within the realm of the state? There is nothing to link the so-called northern youth to the agitations to the extent of taking liberty to prescribe for the entire Igbo race a status within the Nigerian federation.
They went beyond their powers even as we are not oblivious of how such phoney groups are contrived. Definitely, there were behind the scene actors who had some selfish motives to achieve. That was not in doubt. Reducing the engagement to an Igbo and north affair would amount to plying into the hands of people masking as northern youths who do not really have the mandate of all zones of the north, as events have shown.
Besides, such an approach is loaded with the risk of reducing the Igbo race to a scapegoat in the Nigerian political chessboard- an agenda those behind the threat want to achieve. So the federal government has inadvertently played into the hands of northern ethnic jingoists and this could come with dire consequences.
Again, by limiting the consultations the way it has been structured, are we not giving the erroneous impression that any band of people could assume any name tag and appropriate the powers of remedying a perceived wrong on behalf of the federal government? Shall we not be left with anarchy if the government begins to respond to such threats in the selective manner it handled the case in point? What of the threat by a coalition of Niger Delta people to the north to vacate their soil and positions in the oil industry? Why did we not find it expedient to also factor that in the consultations? Or are we saying that such threats are of no consequence because they are coming from the South-south?
These posers have been raised to underscore the incongruity in the thinking that a parley with leaders of the north and south-east is all there is to multifarious challenges that have over time, stultified all efforts at genuine progress in this country. The consultations by the way they were skewed could produce the unintended result of pitching the north against the south-east.
Besides, those canvassing for the state of Biafra and the northern youths are not really representatives of the peoples of these zones. If they were, they should have been part of the consultations. But they were not consulted.
The crisis should rightly be seen as a manifestation of the unresolved issues of our defective federal order. To that extent, they transcend the borders of the north and south-east. They are matters that have to do with our being as a country which all sections have a stake in.
Even then, Osinbajo equally endorsed this view when he said at the meeting – "Let me say that we are not deaf to the legitimate concerns and frustrations arising from around the country. Every part of Nigeria has its own grievances". That is the crux of the matter.
Those consultations have been rounded off. But that is not the end to the matter. We have been told there was consensus on the unity and indivisibility of the country. We were also told of the resolution of the governors that the unity of the country "is sacrosanct, non-negotiable and all have agreed to work together."
Good enough, the vice president equally admitted that the issues are multi-dimensional and requires lasting and satisfactory solutions. He fingered clashes between herdsmen and farmers as one of the problems they discussed. Curiously, both the purveyors of these agents of death and those who bear the brunt of their deadly escapades, are states in the very north its youth issued an eviction order to the Igbo. If those youth were motivated by patriotic zeal, they should have first, removed the log in their eyes before the spec in the eyes of those they sought to evict for heating up the system though non-violent agitations for self-determination.
Nobody has issued any quit order to the north either on account of the killings by the Fulani herdsmen nor the four-year old Boko Haram insurgency geared in the main, to institute an Islamic state on the rest of us. We are all privy to the politics that had surrounded that challenge to the unity, indivisibility and secularity of the country. Just last week and against all the assurances we have been getting, they launched a deadly attack on a convoy of about 200 vehicles escorted by a heavy contingent of the army and police near Maiduguri.
So the challenges to our nationhood are fundamental and go beyond platitudes and sanctimony. It is not enough to regurgitate such ideas as non-negotiability and indivisibility of the country. Neither is it helpful pretending that all is well with this country. Those who wish it well must come to terms with the imperative of instituting the objective conditions and environment under which such deals will grow and flourish.
The Afenifere Renewal Group struck the right chord when they posed two salient questions in reaction to Osinbajo's statement that Nigerians irrespective of ideology, race or religion "have agreed that Nigeria should remain one". They asked: "Do we want to remain as one country? If the answer is yes, under what conditions?" The two questions sum up the uncanny dilemma we are confronted with. And the way they are answered, will chart the path for the future.
But implicit in those questions is the fact that there are several aspects of our being as a country that must be negotiated if we are to stave off the increasing competition between the central government and its constituents for the loyalty of the citizens. That has been the attraction of restructuring. Good a thing, the Senate has called for the report of the 2014 National Conference.
Osibanjo should move further in liaison with the National Assembly to set in motion the necessary processes to adopt salient recommendations of that conference as part of the grundnorm to guide the running of the country. That is the most practical and more enduring solution to the fission that is tending to tear this country apart.
We do not seem to have much choice on the imperative to restructure the country. Our parroting the unity, indivisibility and non-negotiability of the country without the necessary safety nets could produce direct opposite results.

- Let's begin with an interesting article about my own profession: translation. Zack Davisson translates manga - Japanese comic books - and the process is considerably more creative than you might think: Confessions of a Manga Translator. The process he describes is similar to the process I have been able to deduct from reading the European Tintin, Lucky Luke and Asterix comics in different languages, so it doesn't just apply to manga.
- To many, it comes naturally; to some, it happens when it's taught to them at school; while others might need help: How to Read a Book. This article comes courtesy of The Art of Manliness website, but don't let that fool you: this particular content applies to everyone who loves to read. Note: I actually think there are more than four stages of reading - there is one that falls between inspectional and analytical reading - we could call it pleasurable reading. It's where you delve into the book to the extent that you become enmeshed in it but not to the extent of taking notes or trying to understand the author's intent - you're not trying to analyse it, but you are still reading deep and living the story as it unfolds before your eyes.

My teaching emphasizes a people-centered design process, the importance of business in design, and the wide breadth of knowledge needed as a product designer.
Baking bread clicks with my love of process. Starting from the same four ingredients, slight tweaks to my process can create different outcomes. Baguettes versus a boule, sour versus earthy. I'm drawn to baking by possibilities created by those four ingredients, and the impact that changes in the process can have on those outcomes.

Close to the completion of Anala, the first tandem building which will have its turn over soon, the newly launched Azalea offers prospective home buyers another exclusive property featuring a strategic location and modern lifestyle options.

Aside from the usual kitchen, toilet, and bathroom areas, units have built-in laundry areas, providing homeowners the convenience and privacy of doing their washing in their own space. What's more, the one and two-bedroom units have a balcony.
Its unique square layout gives homeowners more freedom and room to design their personal space unlike in traditional rectangular configurations of some condominiums that may offer limitations.
Green Living

Encapsulating the spirit of a new era in city condos, it boasts of a green, urban living-themed amenity deck.

Occupying only 20 percent of the entire 2.4-hectare propert, the four tandem buildings are carefully designed to give unit owners generous open spaces to enjoy.
All buildings have ample security features to guarantee peace of mind and a safe living environment, including three speed elevators, 24-hour security, fire detection and alarm system, centralized garbage collection system.

Talking about personal finance, it's necessary to understand all the importance of having a sufficient credit score. Everybody use credit products today because making a big purchase like a house is almost impossible without taking out a loan.
And taking out a loan with low interest rate on profitable conditions is impossible without a high credit score! A consumer's credit history gives the lender an opportunity to understand if this consumer can be a reliable borrower.
Nobody wants to lend money to irresponsible customers and interest rate charged by the lender directly depends on the borrower's creditworthiness. Learn more about factors which can damage your credit history and do your best to have a perfect credit!
Late Payments
It's necessary to understand one basic and extremely important thing concerning a credit. Whatever happens, you should make payments on time! To make a decision – whether to approve your loan application or to decline it the lender considers your credit report obtained from special agencies.
And if your credit report contains the information concerning late payments and unpaid debts then the lender can decide that you're an irresponsible borrower and lending you money is risky. In this case your loan application will be declined or very high interest rate can be charged to justify the risk.
Errors in a Credit Report
It's vital to check your credit report at least once a year and to find out whether there are any mistakes. If there are some errors then it's necessary to correct them because errors can lower the meaning of your credit. And they will not allow the lender to evaluate your ability to repay a loan.
It's necessary to understand that every small detail can be important for the lender and every error in your report can influence the lender's decision. If you have low credit score you can get financial products like bad credit installment loans but then you must be ready to pay relatively high interest rate.
Short Credit History
You may have a very high credit score but there are cases when it's not enough to get a loan deal with a low interest rate. The thing is that short or limited credit history may not contain all the information which would allow the lender to make a decision concerning the loan approval. In this case it's necessary to build more credit. So you should get several credit cards or other lending product and don't forget to make all the payments on time.
Too Many Loan Applications
Often tries to get a loan are also no good for a credit. Every time you try to get a loan the lender needs to check your credit history first. And when the lender requires for a copy of it, this information appears in a credit report. The lender's impression of your credit report can be negative if you try to get a loan too often.
That's why it's worth taking control over your financial moves and understanding that every decision you make concerning borrowing money will be seen in your credit report. Try to make wise financial decisions and always make payments on time to be proud of your credit history.

Strood Town Centre Project
Commercial Road car park before and after
The project aims to improve:
- the reliability of journey times through the town
- pedestrian facilities
- the look and feel of the town to encourage more people to visit
We are also aiming to boost economic growth, provide new jobs in the town and create a place that people are proud to live, work and visit.
The improvements are to take place across the town centre in phases, with completion anticipated to be in early 2019.
View the Strood Town Centre proposals
Phase 1: Commercial Road Car Park and Tolgate Lane
The first phase of the project to transform the existing car park at Commercial Road is substantially complete.
The key features of the Commercial Road car park include:
- the resurfacing of the car park and Tolgate Lane with high quality materials
- a pedestrian route through the car park that has reinforced and improved the link from the high street to the retail park
- new seating and planting and improved lighting (improved lighting is yet to come)
When the market returns to Commercial Road car park it will be able to take full advantage of the new facilities and improved space.

Cheshire - (203)272-7209 | Naugatuck - (203) 729-2253 | Waterbury - (203)753-5112
CHESHIRE- Carl "Red" T. Andersen Jr., 79, passed away suddenly and peacefully Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at his home. He was the loving husband of Margaret Andersen who predeceased him in 2013 after nearly 50 years of marriage.
Carl was born November 2, 1938 in New Haven, son of the late Carl T. Sr., and Bernice (Batchelor) Andersen. He was married to the love of his life Margaret (Mulcahy) Andersen on October 26, 1963.
Carl is survived by his four sons Steven Andersen of Wallingford, Peter and his wife Charlotte Andersen of Mount Pleasant, SC, Brian and his wife Susan Andersen of Thompson, and Kevin and his wife Robyn Andersen of Plainville; his sister Amy Jean Raccio; and grandchildren Carl, Jake, Austin, Connor, Jack, Braden, William, Matthew, and Hailey. Carl was predeceased by his sister Lorraine Andersen.
Carl was a true family man, a loyal friend, and a lover of life. He would give with both hands and take only what he needed. Nothing made him happier than having his entire family together for any occasion. Carl and Margaret loved to travel throughout the United States in their mobile home, collecting friends and experiences wherever they went. Carl was a member of Indian Neck Yacht Club for 30+ years where he could be found most days helping solve the world's problems over a cold beer with the close friends he made through his love of boating and fishing. He was a master of all things mechanical. He would say "If it was made by a man, it could be fixed by a man" (and electrical tape). Carl worked for over 40 years at Hungerfords Pump Service where he started as a serviceman for installations and repairs and retired in 2001 as Vice President.
Arrangements- A service for Carl will start 11 A.M., Monday, January 15, 2018, at The Alderson-Ford Funeral Home of Cheshire, 615 South Main St, 06410. Burial will follow in St. Bridget Cemetery. Calling hours will be held at the funeral home from 9 A.M. until the service starts at 11 A.M. In lieu of flowers, donations in Carl's name can be made to TAVF (Take a Veteran Fishing) c/o First Congregational Church of Branford, 1009 Main St, Branford, CT 06405.

Piers 59, 60, 61 and 62 make up Chelsea Piers and they are located between 17th and 23rd Street. The sports village is a must-see for any visitors to New York and remains a yearlong attraction to tourists and locals alike.
HistoryChelsea Piers opened in 1910 and served as a docking location for luxury liners that came to America's shores. Legendary ships visited Chelsea Piers, including the Mauretania and the Lusitania. It was a glorious location in its days and made a lasting impression on many who took their first steps on the country's soil. However, as luxury liners became obsolete, the area became derelict and run down. In the 1980s, Chelsea Piers was earmarked for demolition and plans were made for a highway to be built in its place. Fortunately, these plans fell through and in the early 1990s, Chelsea Piers Management was awarded the rights to operate a sports and entertainment facility on the site. Construction began in 1995 and today the complex houses some of the best facilities of its kind in the city.
The ComplexSports Center Health Club
Known as New York's ultimate health club, Chelsea Piers' Sports Center offers members and visitors a great sport and fitness experience with top of the range facilities and a wide variety of options. The site's 25-yard, 6 lane swimming pool includes the opportunity to bike, stretch and walk through water fitness exercises, with the added bonus of a view.
The center brings outdoor action indoors with its 10,000 square foot rock wall for the ultimate challenge. It also boasts 14,000 square feet of strength training equipment, ensuring that everyone has a place to work out, without the need to wait.
The Sports Center's spa is a delightful place to relax after a tough workout, or simply a destination for 100% spoiling and pampering. The spa offers no less than 8 individual treatment rooms, as well as a lounge and a manicure/pedicure room with a view of the Hudson River. Golf Club

Guests can book birthday parties at the Sky Rink and even enjoy exclusive arena rental options. The Bluestreak
Unparalleled for its training facilities in the area, the Blustreak on Chelsea Piers incorporates a wide range of competitive and recreational features to offer the ultimate in fitness equipment. The facility includes a significant number of FAST treadmills, a plyometrics area that works on footwork drills and a 1,200 square feet skills zone with an artificial ice surface and roll out field surface for hockey players to practice their moves.
The Skate Room includes top of the range equipment to test and improve skaters' speed and conditioning and the Coordination Station works on improving eye-hand/eye-feet coordination through the use of special equipment. The Bluestreak also offers physical therapy with an impressive board of sports therapists and professionals. Field House
