Metal Gear Sequel: Making a Case for The Phantom Pain
Final Fantasy. Call of Duty. The Legend of Zelda. Super Mario.
These are just a few of the series that would come to mind for any person that would be willing to play a few rounds of gamer word association. So just what word comes to mind when you do happen to group these storied brands into the same carpool? Sequels. Love them, hate them or just flat out feel indifferent towards them. Even with our current console generation and the original IP revolution that has spawned from it, many of us still find ourselves drawn towards new adventures with familiar faces. Since 1987, Hideo Kojima has been leaving his mark on the video game industry by seeking to add his own progressing epic to the faction of longstanding series previously mentioned above with Metal Gear.
As Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain looms on the 2015 horizon, should we entertain the idea that it could possibly be the last addition to the Metal Gear mythos? After all, how much longer can the franchise possibly last? Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima has certainly done a tremendous job wowing hordes of players with his tales of political intrigue and military espionage for over 20 years now. We've watched his menagerie of characters mature and grow exponentially over time. Through resurrections, mistaken identities and even good old fashioned bait & switch, a core multitude of characters have been commencing battles for decades now. For once, it's an ongoing war that we wish would never end.
Although therein lies the rub.
As has been his custom, the eccentric Kojima has made several proclamations following each Metal Gear addition where he insists that the version scheduled to be released will be his last. Ever the opportunist, Hideo has tirelessly advanced the Metal Gear franchise and has benefited from the rapid rate at which the technology of video games matures. Originally, it appeared that Metal Gear Solid 4: Rise of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker would be his console and handheld farewell tours respectively. Can the Kojima Productions team leader honestly call it quits when he still appears to be at the top of his game?
The Phantom Pain, which takes place in Afghanistan nine years after the events portrayed in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, has already started to make its rounds on the teaser trailer circuit. The sequence, woven into the Sony E3 2014 press conference, suggests that players may want to gird themselves for an emotionally arresting adventure. Over the years and releases, the Kojima penchant for creating a dramatically charged narrative has flexed and strengthened. Any attempt to retrospectively compare the likes of the original Metal Gears to that of the modern era titles, such as Peace Walker, shows that the property is capable of a never-ending evolution. The Metal Gear genetic makeup is still very much in play after all this time, seeking to indulge those of us who like to take our military stealth encounters with a healthy portion of sneaking around in cardboard boxes. Even better, can anyone else remember the first time your heart skipped a beat at the first sight of the classic Metal Gear alert siren, emphasized by the exclamation marks that appeared over enemy characters? These functions may seem ham-fisted at first but they are never-the-less necessary. They are Metal Gear Solid. But with each passing entry into the series, the ultimate Kojima endgame seems less and less to be about the "who" and "what" of the universe he has imagined.
In the games, all of the action is dependent on the will of the player to complete their assignments passively or aggressively. Only care enough to go guns blazing, dispensing justice one magazine at a time without regard for loss of life? The Snake Eater sequence of Naked Snake wading through a river of souls occupied by all NPCs killed up to that point in the game was a harrowing billboard of player morality in a violent setting. These outcomes remain dependent on those of us engaging in the series, challenging our willingness to tread the dilemma line that every soldier faces. Kojima wants us as his audience to feel the truth, elements and enduring side effects of what such a harsh approach to conflict can induce. Despite the over-the-top circumstances and character abilities, the stresses of stealth and infiltration are still apparent to those that have played the series with all the gusto of a legitimate clone super soldier. Sure, the tension of your military insertion has always been cut when the most dangerous scenarios can be made slightly lighthearted by a little tongue-in-cheek humor. This intriguing combination has managed to maintain a pedigree for critical fanfare. Review scores always seem to find themselves on the higher end for the franchise, earning flagship designations for nearly every console that they've been released on. Those faithful to the Kojima cause continue to be blessed by a talented video game artisan.
There will always be someone out there who will say that they couldn't possibly consider playing a title that has a 5 in it, especially pardoning the fact that there are far more than 5 games in the Metal Gear arsenal. In their shortsightedness, all they can manage to see is a cheap repackaging attempt or a heartless milking of a proverbial cash cow. Lest we forget, a new gamer is made every day. When that new gamer steps into their local retailer and has to make that brutal first gaming choice, they may not be able to combat the instinct that compels them to start from episode 1 and work their way forward. They will flock to that fancy new display at the front of the store or to the one that is given the most real estate on the shelf walls of their respective section. Somewhere, somehow Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be a maiden gaming voyage for some fledgling joysticker. In doing so, they are offered the luxury of circumventing any previous versions that may have proven to be less than stellar. Sequels are a telling methodology of developers and studios showing a willingness to keep original fans interested while working that much harder to integrate new enticing changes. Kojima Productions have acted on this formula for decades now and have continued to deliver in spades. It's our responsibility as the consumer to let Hideo Kojima know whether we're finally ready to lay the Snake fraternity to rest . . .
Or are just ready for our next opportunity to reload and save the world from certain military mayhem.

Seen and Heard #13
With just 66 days to go, the World Cup is coming up pretty fast. According to the FIFA official World Cup website, the number 66 is linked to Englands finest hour in football. The year 1966 saw the country win the World Cup on home soil over West Germany.
However, it is the one and only time when England won the World Cup. Apart from that, the best the country has achieved was a semi-final spot in the 1990 games. This means that out of the 18 World Cups over the years, England could only manage one win and one semi-final spot.
But strangely, every time a World Cup comes, people will talk about how England is going to win a World Cup. And of course, we know what happens each time.
And for those of you looking to bet on England, be it through the office pool or the government kind of pools, the following is a set of patterns that occur when England goes to the World Cup.
Thoughtfully mapped out in the book Soccernomics (authored by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski), I hope the following points allow you to carefully think through before you invest your hard-earned money.
1) Pretournament favourites to win The authors note that there is a belief that England is footballs mother country and therefore should be the best. Everyone in England thinks we have a God-given right to win the World Cup, said ex-England player Johnny Haynes. His England was eliminated in 1958.
2) England faces former wartime enemy The authors point out that England was knocked out by either Germany or Argentina in five of their last seven World Cups. For this World Cup, it could be anyone from either of these two countries, or even Japan.
3) England gets knocked out due to bad luck or a freakish goal In 2002, Ronaldino would not have been good enough to deliberately place the long range free kick. In 2006, Wayne Rooney would not have been sent off for stomping if it werent for Cristiano Ronaldo influencing the referee. These things just dont happen to other countries, say the authors.
4) Everyone else cheats Diego Simeone in 1998 gets David Beckham sent off. In 2006, Ronaldo did the same for Rooney. So did every referee that had officiated England games.
5) England gets knocked out without getting anywhere near lifting the trophy Except for the semi final of 1990, England has always been eliminated when still needing to defeat at least three excellent teams, point out the book.
6) Normal life resumes after elimination The book points out Englands eliminations are celebrated and even turned into commercials for pizza chains.

Celebrity presence at the greenish Republican Convention
While members of the Creative Coalition Susan Sarandon and Spike Lee showed up at the Dem's Denver shindig last week, co-president Tim Daly (Private Practice) will star-stud the Grand Ole Party's party along with Kerry Washington (Ray) in the Twin Cities. The bipartisan nonprofit that brings "arts & letters" types together for causes hosts a "Bank of America Goes Green" reception. Read their initiatives and decide for yourself if they're really green, or just greenwashed.
Hollywood's politico honcho, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, can't make the Republican Convention because he's busy with budget problems in Sacramento, CA. Other notable no-shows include President Bush and VP Cheney, scheduled to speak Labor Day, but upstaged by Gustav raining on the parade. Some speculation claims that scheduling the current administration on opening night provided sufficient distance from the nominees and that the holiday meant lower viewership.
Instead of delegates' revelry during a potential disaster, Laura Bush and Cindy McCain launched Gustav fundraising efforts at McCain's "Country First" event at the Xcel Energy Center, appropriate considering the botched relief for Louisiana three years ago.
Musical guests in Minneapolis entertaining this week include Republican loyalists: Beach Boys, Charlie Daniels Band, and Sammy Hagar. Also performing are American Idol winner Chris Daughtry and Smash Mouth, performing for the Coalition for a Conservative Majority. Nashville's LeAnn Rimes and Gretchen "Redneck Woman" Wilson also appear.
Rage Against the Machine, which played for free in Denver, will charge $60 for the Twin Cities' concert. Another act making a statement is Steve Earle who rallied union forces on Labor Day.
Today's rising star is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who's Sen. John McCain's choice of running mate in a transparent attempt to capture women and Evangelical votes. The "hockey mom" is already embroiled in the media's scrutinizing limelight from Troopergate to her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy. Regarding eco-issues, the Pro-Life VP nominee's policies are worth examination.
Palin's environmental policies are in question, from drilling the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to opposing the listing of polar bears and whales as threatened species, support of teaching of intelligent design/creationism in schools, and believing that climate change is not man-made.

And no, I'm not talking about David Letterman caving to the far right's victim princess attention whore...twice. Although I think Letterman had nothing to apologize about, I understand a bit about television. The apology fits when you understand that TV is all about selling you stuff, making money and wrapping programming around that to accomplish those ends. Television - especially broadcast TV - tries to be edgy and controversial but not so much of either that they lose advertisers and income over it. Hence, the apology to the Alaska hillbilly sluts.
What is getting my goat now is yet another Democrat apologizing for telling the truth. Latest installment is the comment from the Democrats' CIA director about Cheney's increasing nonsense-spewing media tour:
"It's almost as if he's wishing that America
would be attacked again, in order to make
his point. That's dangerous politics."
-- CIA Director Panetta on Dick Cheney
Sounds like that to me too, Mr. Panetta. Way to go....no...wait a second. I spoke too soon!
CIA Director Leon Panetta doesn't really think former Vice President Dick Cheney wants to see his country attacked, the intelligence agency said Tuesday.
The CIA, through spokesman Paul Gimigliano, walked back a controversial statement Panetta recently made to The New Yorker while arguing that his quote was misinterpreted in the first place.
"The director does not believe the former Vice President wants an attack. He did not say that," Gimigliano said. "He was simply expressing his profound disagreement with the assertion that President Obama's security policies have made our country less safe. Nor did he question anyone's motives."
What the hell? The CIA felt the need to apologize to freakin' DICK CHENEY????
What is wrong with these people!
As Bartcop says, Why is my party so full of wimps?

A genetic algorithm model coupled with artificial neural network model was developed to find the optimal values of upstream, downstream cutoff lengths, length of floor and length of downstream protection required for a hydraulic structure. These were obtained for a given maximum difference head, depth of impervious layer and degree of anisotropy. The objective function to be minimized was the cost function with relative cost coefficients for the different dimensions obtained. Constraints used were those that satisfy a factor of safety of 2 against uplift pressure failure and 3 against piping failure. Different cases reaching 1200 were modeled and analyzed using geo-studio modeling, with different values of input variables. The soil was considered homogeneous anisotropic. For each case, the length of protection (L) and the volume of the superstructure (V) required to satisfy the factors of safety mentioned above were calculated. These data were used to obtain an artificial neural network model for estimating (L) and (V) for a given length of upstream cutoff (S1), length of downstream cutoff (S2), head difference (H), length of floor (B), depth of impervious layer (D) and degree of anisotropy (kx/ky). A MatLAB code was written to perform a genetic algorithm optimization modeling using the obtained ANN model .The obtained optimum solution for some selected cases were compared with the Geo-studio modeling to find the length of protection required in the downstream side and volume required for superstructure. Values estimated were found comparable to the obtained values from the Genetic Algorithm model.
The sustainability of the individual and society get great interest in contemporary studies, Considering the rebuilding of the society cultural values as the most important goals, which prompted many researchers to explore ways and social elements of sustainability and the most important urban and architectural vocabulary achieving it, thus, the search will be directed towards the human being within the social dimensions of sustainability, his belonging and awareness of identity through the employment of local heritage in the contemporary product. The literatures confirmed the continuity of heritage vocabulary in the contemporary product, accordingly the research problem was defined as: "The visual continuity of the heritage vocabulary in achieving social sustainability". To deal with the research problem a theoretical framework was built for the concept of continuity in general, and visual continuity, in particular, and the application of concluded theoretical framework in a contemporary urban projects adopted the heritage vocabulary and expressed sustainable social identity, the results of the analysis showed that the visual continuity of traditional vocabulary achieved At highest level in the continuity of the surfaces organization in terms of optical properties and elevations treatments, and the continuity of formal relations in terms of scale and proportion, when ever the continuity of the local architectural style appears in the heritage formal elements.
This study aims to evaluate the performance of the sewage treatment plant in Al-Diwaniya, one of cities in the southern part in Iraq. This evaluation could be used to facilitate effluent quality assessment or optimal process control of the plant. The influent reaching the plant is considered a medium to strong in strength with BOD5/COD ratio in the range 0.23 and 0.69 which can be considered an easily degradable sewage by the biological processes performed by the activated sludge unit. The quality of the effluent was found to be higher than the Iraqi standards for disposal to water bodies. The BOD5/COD ratios of the treated sewage varied over a wide range as low of 0.13 to 1.48 indicating operational problems in the plant. Regression analysis was performed to estimate the removal percentages of BOD5, COD, TSS and NO3 that the plant should perform by to reach the disposal limitations.

A simple technique is proposed in this paper for estimating the coefficient of permeability of an unsaturated soil based on physical properties of soils that include grain size analysis, degree of saturation or water content, and porosity of the soil. The proposed method requires the soil-water characteristic curve for the prediction of the coefficient of permeability as most of the conventional methods. A procedure is proposed to define the hydraulic conductivity function from the soil water characteristic curve which is measured by the filter paper method. Fitting methods are applied through the program (SoilVision), after indentifying the basic properties of the soil such as Attereberg limits, specific gravity, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation and wet and dry unit weights.
Finding the shortest route in wireless mesh networks is an important aspect. Many techniques are used to solve this problem like dynamic programming, evolutionary algorithms, weighted-sum techniques, and others. In this paper, we use dynamic programming techniques to find the shortest path in wireless mesh networks due to their generality, reduction of complexity and facilitation of numerical computation, simplicity in incorporating constraints, and their conformity to the stochastic nature of some problems. The routing problem is a multi-objective optimization problem with some constraints such as path capacity and end-to-end delay. Single-constraint routing problems and solutions using Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, and Floyd-Warshall algorithms are proposed in this work with a discussion on the difference between them. These algorithms find the shortest route through finding the optimal rate between two nodes in the wireless networks but with bounded end-to-end delay. The Dijkstra-based algorithm is especially favorable in terms of processing time. We also present a comparison between our proposed single-constraint Dijkstra-based routing algorithm and the mesh routing algorithm (MRA) existing in the literature to clarify the merits of the former.

The coefficient of performance of a window type Air-Conditioner system can be improved if a reduction in the work of compressor can be achieved by a suitable technique. The present study investigates the effect of dispersing a low concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles in the mineral oil based lubricant, as well as on the overall performance of a window type Air-Conditioner system using R22 as the working fluid. An enhancement in the COP of the refrigeration system has been observed and the existence of an optimum volume fraction noticed, with low concentrations of nanoparticles suspended in the mineral oil. Results showed that the average compressor work reduced by 13.3%, which ultimately resulted in an increase of 11.99% in the COP due to the addition of nanoparticles in the lubricating oil.

Experimental and numerical investigations of the centrifugal pump performance at non-cavitating and cavitating flow conditions were carried out in the present study. Experiments were performed by applying a vacuum to a closed-loop system to investigate the effects of the net positive suction head available (NPSHa), flow rate, water temperature and pump speed on the centrifugal pump performance. Accordingly, many of the important parameters concerning cavitation phenomenon were calculated. Also, the noise which is accompanied by cavitation was measured. Numerical analysis was implemented for two phase flow (the water and its vapor) using a 2-D simulation by ANSYS FLUENT software to investigate the internal flow of centrifugal pump under cavitating conditions. It was observed that with decreasing NPSHa, the values of the pump head, flow rate and efficiency initially remain constant, but with further reduction in NPSHa these parameters will decrease. Also, it was found that at 3% head drop the percentage drop of the flow rate is less than 2% whereas the percentage drop of the efficiency is greater than 3%. Numerically, it was noticed that the cavitation regions appear at the leading edge of suction side of the impeller blades which represents the lowest pressure area inside the computational domain of the centrifugal pump.

In this work a study was made in centrifugal fan blower to investigate the effect of impeller blade design on sound pressure level (SPL). Shroud and unshroud impeller of nine blades are used. The sound generation from flow inside the test rig at different positions was displayed by using spectral analyzer. The experiments were carried out in anechoic chamber with small holes in its walls, under ambient condition about (25-27) C ° to avoid the effect of temperature on the sound pressure level. The results showed that (SPL) decreased with the increase of distance from the source about (3-4)dB when distance varied about (0.8-1.06)m, and the (SPL) decreased with the decrease of velocity about (8-12)dB when velocity varied between (13000-2600) r.p.m., and when the velocity remain constant (SPL) increased with the increased of pressure about (7-15)dB when the pressure varied between (36-8)mbar. For the purpose of comparison, two types of impellers were tested under same conditions, the results showed that (SPL) increased when shroud used on the impeller. The mathematical results show good agreement with the experimental results. The study also concluded a spectral analysis of the noise generated using 1/3 octave band filter. The analysis showed that (SPL) increased with frequency range of (0.8-400) Hz. The maximum sound pressure level was appeared clearly in the frequency range between 200 – 400 Hz .
The present work considers an alternative solution for a complex configuration of rotor discs by applying Galerkin Method. The theoretical model consists of elastic shaft carrying number of discs and supported on number of journal bearings. The equation of motion was discretized to finite degree of freedom in terms of the system generalized coordinates. The various effects of the dynamical forces and moments arising from the bearing, discs and shaft were included. Rayleigh beam model is used for analyzing the shaft while the discs are considered rigid . The validity and convergence of the present analysis was carefully checked by comparing with the Finite Element solution. An example of rotor consists of three different size discs and supported by two journal bearing was considered for the numerical solution .The results shows good agreements between the two methods ,where the maximum error not exceeds 5%. The convergence test showed that using few modes (not more than 6) are sufficient for the accurate analysis. The forward and backward whirl was investigated experimentally .The experimental results of a two discs rotor ,show a reasonable agreement where the maximum error not exceeds 11%. The unbalance response, Cambpell diagram, orbit response were plotted .The effects of geometry, disc sizes , location and arrangement on the unbalance response and natural frequencies of three discs rotor were further investigated .

The present study focused mainly on the vibration analysis of composite laminated plates subjected to thermal and mechanical loads or without any load (free vibration). Natural frequency and dynamic response are analyzed by analytical, numerical and experimental analysis (by using impact hammer) for different cases. The experimental investigation is to manufacture the laminates and to find mechanical and thermal properties of glass-polyester such as longitudinal, transverse young modulus, shear modulus, longitudinal and transverse thermal expansion and thermal conductivity. The vibration test carried to find the three natural frequencies of plate. The design parameters of the laminates such as aspect ratio, thickness ratio, boundary conditions and lamination angle were investigated using classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and Finite element coded by ANSYS, in addition to the design parameters of dynamic response such as load type with respect to time, x and y dimension and temperature value for simply supported symmetric cross ply. The main conclusion was the natural frequency could increase and decrease depending on the boundary conditions, thickness ratio, and lamination angle, the aspect ratio of the plate. Present of temperature could increase dynamic response of plate also depending on lamination angle, type of mechanical load and the value of temperature.

In the city, building space could transform to be as place, because architecture does not include only traditional values such as housing, human protection, stability, etc, but could carry other dimensions beyond the housing or building occupancy or develop urban design. Rivers had vision in motion as a way to show dynamic processes in its flowing slowly, which are simply measured in time and the life of citizens. The research consider the river path in traditional cities as Alley connecting the spaces of the city ... old Baghdad was characterized by this property and it is look like Venice in the past, while traditional European cities were able to preserve this property till now, and capable to take transformation of the city with development projects inside it. These cities was distinguished by development of river edge as creating place along the river corridor and try to attract peoples who lived in, protect the natural environment along the river, as well as reflect the characteristics of the city along of the elevation of the river, and conserve the river banks as alley connected between urban spaces. Baghdad which penetrates by Tigris River has maintained this feature until the middle of twentieth century. So now, the research can see the absence of specialized local studies, including The comprehensive development plan of the Baghdad city 2030 to study and Re design the spaces and places along river edge, this led to emerge research problem, in the absence of specific knowledge about identity of river space characteristics for identification of urban space in place of the Tigris River in downtown of Baghdad historical city center, in the urban development plans since the mid-twentieth century until now, and study design factors that contributed with disintegration of the space syntax relations in river elevation. Turning to the experience of historical European cities and how to deal with urban space to the edge of the river and created the identity of the place, especially the interface development experience the (Seine river in Paris, Thames River in London, Tiber River in Rome, Danube River in Vienna & Budapest, Vltava river in Prague) and study urban style in dealing with the river edge, in order to reach the elements which define the identity of each city. In order to reach the aim of research in redefining the identity of places for urban spaces overlooking to integrate the banks of Tigris River in the historical city centre of Baghdad, and the methods of linking the development of river front with the comprehensive development plan of the Baghdad city 2030.

Hip-hop sensation Nicki Minaj is hoping to launch a special foundation to "nurture" her female fans and help put them on the road to career success.
The Super Bass hitmaker has always stressed the importance of education and safe sex to her young and impressionable devotees, and now she's hoping to empower youths by setting up a female empowerment organization.
She tells Vogue magazine, "(I'm planning) an enormous foundation to nurture girls. The Nicki Minaj girl is a fun, artsy girl who can become a fierce force to be reckoned with on Wall Street.
"They hang on to my every word, so I tell them, go to school, be ambitious. The worst position is to be financially dependent on the man."
And Minaj reveals she had high hopes of putting men in their place in the courtroom before finding fame as a rapper.
She says, "A huge part of me wanted to be a lawyer! I would do a really good job as a prosecutor."

Album Review: Zak Spade & The Love Enemies: First Time Lovers
New Jersey-based alternative piano rock band Zak Spade & The Love Enemies have an album out: First Time Lovers. Listen to it here. It's pretty good! But it's not without some fundamental issues the group need to address.
Frontman "Zak Spade" has a great punk voice not dissimilar to Billie Joe Armstrong's, but the music is something more like Ben Folds. Indeed, the songwriting and voice work is strong throughout the album- although where Folds' most recent record Way To Normal covers the bitterness and tragicomedy of divorce, The Love Enemies are looking at the upbeat opposite end of the spectrum.
The album's first tracks feel almost like a rock opera, almost like a blues-rock inspired answer to Fucked Up's brilliant David Comes To Life. The song Zak Spade has a nice narrative-driven melody which creeps into my head most days since I've listened to the record; it's catchy and nicely written.
The problem is that while the songwriting is good and holds up pretty consistently throughout the album, the instrumentation does not. It's not that any of the band are bad instrumentalists or that it's badly written. Indeed, it's clear that they are all talented at what they do. The issue is that it feels a lot like they are holding back on every track.
To dwell on that first track: the piano riff is nice, but doesn't particularly go anywhere, as the dynamics aren't contrastive or obvious enough throughout the track. The main thing about the album as a whole is definitely that the piano parts need a lot of work. The actual melodies and right hand movements are nice, but they don't have the bottom line support from left hand and other instruments to sound whole. Later on the album, certain songs maintain a very weak riff throughout; the writer seems to have gone with the first progression or idea that came to mind, and hasn't developed further or added more complexity to some of the base riffs. And unfortunately, reiterating, developing is the most important bit of writing anything. To make up for the sometimes lackluster instrumentation, it feels like they could up the BPM on most tracks and add a bunch more to the piano tracks; full chords, harmonies, faster and more intricate melodic parts. The band only half commit to the obviously complex music they are capable of making.
And on the other hand… The album has moments of genius. Out of nowhere, Home is a crazy hip hop house music instrumental track that careens out of nowhere and nails a complete, fully produced tone which the album seems to strives for elsewhere. The off beat high hat, nice reverb-ey piano part, and looping system of sounds all please the ear greatly. In an album populated with very well intentional, listenable piano rock, Home is something else altogether. Home is honestly a track which I'd hear at the "cool, hipster" parties which frequented my hometown's student neighbourhood. It sounds like it was produced by Drake. It's an accomplished piece of production which unfortunately is a phrase which couldn't be applied to most of the record.
Another issue endemic to the record are that half the songs also seem to finish well before their time. Mystery Woman has a couple of flashes of brilliant songwriting, nice layers of string instruments and piano work- but then it drops out to finish after having gone nowhere, after not even providing the great anthemic chorus it feels like it's driving towards. The "chorus" feels like a pre-amble, a pre-chorus and it's followed by Reverse Shake Down, which has a piano part which is funky, but again, barebones. A piano part which should be accompanied by a rocking guitar, or string or brass section, or at the very least it should have a more complex piano part with full left hand chords to compliment.
Towards the end of the album, things get more and more out there. Good Day sounds pretty much like a Watsky half-rap song. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But as usual, it feels like it could have twice the music depth and complexity on show here. And Latishaaa is a song which fulfills what I'd hoped the album would do earlier: tracks on the record like Zak Spade and City feel like "intro" songs or prologues. They feel like the kernel of a song which will become something else. Latishaaa starts like that, and then finally blossoms into a bigger song. It could still use more instrumentation, a guitar part, a bass part- but it develops nicely.
Good lord. That's it. Bass.
This album has almost not a single bass part. Unless that's just my questionable sound system. But I don't think it is. Go and listen to a classic piano rock, or even an upbeat modern singer-songwriter rock album. The bass part is a huge deal to how almost any song sounds. A lot of the time it's what makes the song. It adds a thread which the listener's subconscious inner-ear follows (hence the classic adage that one dances to the bassline of a song, not the song itself). A prime example: go and listen to Ben Folds' song Brainwascht. At 00:10, listen to the bass come in. It nails the song's sound together. While I like almost all of the tracks on First Time Lovers- the lack of bass is a painful absence once you notice it, and could help add a lot to- maybe even fix entirely- all of the songs.
I really enjoy this album- especially Home, a track I will be playing as background music at parties for the indefinable future- but the band have a long way to go. Honestly, this is a fantastic step. The fact that they made the First Time Lovers at all is brilliant. I look forward to seeing where they go- I'd love to see some hints of Mose Alison or other classic Jazz-rock songwriters in there.
With this under their belt, I'm sure Zak Spade & The Love Enemies' next production will take a leap into more complex instrumentation and sound, while retaining the writer's spot-on ear for rock and roll lyrics.
Review Overview
Total Score - 6.5
Fun-loving, doesn't meet its potential
Summary : A really fun record, but one that is in mortal need of a bassline throughout and slightly more complexity on the musical side of things. Still, I have to recommend giving it a listen if you're into any sort of piano rock.

A weak cool front kept temperatures cooler Tuesday but they surge in the upcoming days. Clouds remain tonight into the early part of Wednesday. An isolated shower is possible too. With the clouds, morning lows are mild in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Brightening skies during the day helps warm temperatures into the
lower 60s. Flow strengthens out of the south-southwest for Thursday and after morning lows well into the 40s, highs top out in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. The record for the day is 70 degrees so we could come close to tying it. A warm front advances into the area Friday morning. An isolated shower or two is possible early Friday. Despite a fair amount of clouds, temperatures rise quickly and more areas see highs in the lower 70s.
Strong cold front approaches by the afternoon Saturday triggering showers and spring-like thunderstorms. Highs top out early in the 60s, and with strong lift, storms may develop along the cold front. Much chillier air is pushing into a very warm air mass, a good recipe for thunderstorms. Lows plummet to the lower 30s by Sunday morning, and high temperatures are much cooler but still above average. Breezy winds shifting to the northwest, pulls in colder air, pushing temperatures back to the 40s.
It's a bit unsettled next week and there is quite a bit of discrepancy amongst the models on what happens. As of now, a few showers begin the week Monday. Some colder areas may see a mix initially. The rest of the day is mostly cloudy wth highs in the upper 40s. Tuesday, a warm front lifts through the area and triggers a few rain or snow showers early. It is another above average day with mild temperatures in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
Have a blessed day!

Ragz Nordset - Sleepdancing Remixes #1 [NUNS003R]
A remix package of Ragz Nordset's "You Started It All" and "Sleepdancing" by Ron Basejam and BJ Smith.
Basejam turns out two mixes which take the original in differing directions, both adding a dreamy zest to 'You Started It All'. Whereas the original focused on the haunting juxtaposition of strings and gargling electronics, Basejam's drops the icy vibe for a fuzzier and mellower soundscape that betrays his connections to the warm Balearica of Crazy P on his rework.
He also turns out a dub with the dance-floors in mind, making a more concerted focus on the background electronics of the original and adding percussion and an acid line before building broodily towards a string drenched finale. Mid tempo journeys through the pared down sonics of dance music rarely deliver this much, with both efforts showcasing the talent at Basejam's disposal.
BJ Smith completes the package with a typically upbeat folk focused interpretation of the title track. The final song on the EP, 'Sleepdancing' in its original form was the rousing finale that ended the four part story, but here it is transformed into a perfect slab of summer.
An acoustic guitar beginning dovetails perfectly with soft percussion, with Nordset's vocals transformed from a foreboding presence to a much gentler accompaniment, sure to kick-start the horizontal season as the warmer climes beckon.

About the Cover
With their snake-like form, scale-less skin, and lack of pelvic fins, moray eels—such as the star of this month's cover, the yellow-mouth or starry moray (Gymnothorax nudivomer)—are quintessential cavity dwellers, occupying caves and rock openings in their natural reef environment. In the aquarium, they should be provided similar live-rock hiding places as well as the low lighting these shy, nocturnal creatures prefer. They often make a meal of sleeping fishes in their natural habitat, so make sure to keep them only with tankmates that won't fit in their mouth. For more on moray eels in the wild and in the aquarium, check out this month's "Mad For Morays" (p. 68). Photograph by Richard Whitcombe/Shutterstock
Species Profiles
Tip of the Month:
That while most fish are either freshwater or marine, with a small number of species regularly inhabiting brackish estuarine habitats, a few fishes are at home in water of any salinity, including hypersaline - saltier than seawater! Some of these species, like the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas, are not potential aquarium specimens, but the group includes the popular sailfin molly Poecilla spp. and the much underappreciated native American sheepshead minnow Cyprinodon variegatus. These can be kept under fresh, brackish, or marine conditions.

Field research courses
Field Research Courses Summer 2019
All students interested in participating in a field research course for the summer 2019 semester are invited to attend our information session on Thursday October 18th, 2018 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, in room FSS 4007.
The destinations for the Summer 2019 courses will be announced at the information session.
We offer courses that enable students to conduct an independent study abroad and offer them the opportunity to increase their knowledge on particular issues linked to the host country. These courses represent six credits in the undergraduate program of study and three credits for students registered in a masters program.
Please note that each course has a maximum capacity of 15 students.
Arts, culture and heritage is an area of governmental intervention that is often overlooked. Nonetheless, the governmental intervention in this general area comes with important social and political issues. This course will provide students with an understanding of the diversity and the breadth of activities covered by the government's intervention in the cultural sphere. Students will learn more about the rationale and power dynamics at play behind government's intervention in arts and heritage. This course compares Canada and Australia and focuses on three dimensions of culture and heritage policies:
- Political and historical forces: (Empires and cultural policies, settler colonialism and heritage, the politics of memory, the structural and constitutional dimension, Federal, State/Provincial and local cultural policies)
- Contemporary challenges: Cultural diplomacy (Asia, the Pacific area and the world), Indigenous cultures, cultural policy and identity, migration and cultural policy, and cultural accessibility.
- Structural, organizational perspectives: arts communities, resources, community engage, collective actions in arts and heritage.
This course focuses on site visits (museums, heritage sites, public places, galleries) and on discussions and debates with actors in the field. This course will take place in Adelaide (SA), in collaboration with UNISA and Adelaide University. Site visits in Fleurieu Peninsula, and in the greater area of Adelaide, as well as lectures and site visits to Melbourne are scheduled.
This course is offered in English to undergraduate students from June 4th to 24th, 2018. The course will take place in June to coincide with UNISA and Adelaide activities.

Course Outline
The European Integration process is one of the most exciting phenomena of the 20th and 21st century. After 1945, first Western Europe and then Southern and Eastern Europe merged together to one unity without borders and a common currency, the European Union (EU). Nevertheless, the EU is not without its challenges and problems. Brexit, Grexit and the refugee crisis are just a few challenges. Faced with these challenges, the EU is also in a crisis of acceptance, with declining numbers of citizens supporting the EU. Among others, the EU institutions are perceived as undemocratic, difficult to understand and slow in making decisions. In this course, we will partly debunk these myths providing a better understanding of the EU decision making process. At the heart of the course, is a five day simulation of the EU decision making process. During the 5 days in Mainz participants abandon their role of passive citizens to take the role of active players in the European political process. The simulation aims at being as realistic as possible. Participants do not only play the roles of Members of the European Parliament (MEP) and Ministers in the Council of the EU; some of the participants assume the roles of journalists, critically reporting on the proceedings in the two chambers. This simulation will be embedded in a one week intensive course about the functioning of European institutions at the University of Mainz, and a one week study trip to Brussels. During this one week study trip will get to know the European Institutions through study visits and discussions with relevant actors.
This course is offered in English to 4th year undergraduate and masters students. The course will take place from June 29th to July 22nd 2018.

Like all countries in the world, some Mexican populations suffer exclusion and discrimination from dominant groups in Mexican society. Be it sexual, linguistic, cultural, visible minorities, women, migrant populations and refugees, many social groups living in Mexico are subjected to various forms of injustice (legal, social, economic, formal or informal, regular or institutionalized, etc.).
Focusing on the issues of social justice, this course will seek to understand socio-economic inequalities and sociocultural conflicts in Mexico that lead certain social groups to be more socially, economically, legally and institutionally excluded and / or discriminated. To do so, we will study the sociological, historical, economic and political factors inherent in the processes of exclusion and discrimination. Throughout the course, we will analyze the various facets of the process of minorization, (prejudice, stigmatization, exclusion, discrimination, ordinary racism or institutional racism). Particular attention will be paid to the struggles, challenges and opportunities of these minority groups and how they have organised and organizing themselves in order to fight for their rights.
By interacting with various field practitioners (NGOs / academics / students / stakeholders), interactive seminars, field observation and visits in Mexico City and Puebla, students will explore socio-political challenges of various minorities in contemporary Mexico.
Finally, students will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to carry out scientific research through field immersion with one or another of these Mexican minority groups.
This course is offered at the undergraduate level in French and will take place May 27th to June 16th 2018. Some Spanish knowledge is required.

Course Outline
Education is considered as one of the key drivers of social change and as an important factor for the modernization and improvement of individuals' wellbeing in developing countries. However, the supply perspective that prevails in most of the international orientations is often inadequate regarding local realities that go far beyond the simple equation of education – graduating – getting a job.
These issues appear clearly with the departure of an increasing number of young males and females from their home to bigger cities or even abroad with the objective of earning additional income to sustain their families. In this course we will adopt a demand perspective focusing on families' constraints and needs in order to better grasp the conditions that lead young people to leave and jeopardize their education attainment.
Through lectures with experts on education in Africa and Senegal, students will explore the interactions between the national policies and international orientations regarding education matters in Senegal. They will also have the opportunity to get familiar with families' and youth's daily life conditions by developing a field research in two different areas (the city of Ziguinchor and the rural village Mlomp in the region of Casamance), together with local students. At the end of their fieldwork they will be able to provide a critique of the "Education for all" paradigm and propose concrete orientations to take into account local realities in the design of education policies.
This course is offered in French at the undergraduate level from May 7th to 30th, 2018.

Taiwan and Canada are both points of arrival for a growing number of female migrant workers responding to an expanding demand for live-in caregivers helping elderly people. It matters for us to know more about the reality of this workforce, labouring in worrisome conditions of precariousness and vulnerability, because it is bound to grow in importance during the coming decades, as a result of changes in the demographic structure of our societies and in their welfare policies. Taiwan represents a living laboratory where the stakes related to these changes are starkly brought into light.
Thanks to lectures by well-known experts, meetings with civil society actors involved in the promotion of care workers' civil rights, and excursions in the capital's historical memorials, its health care institutions, its commercial hubs, and its important cultural sites, students will be able to appreciate the complexity of the stakes related to industrial relations and immigration in a society where traditional roles are challenged, and concerns over the upholding of national identity are acute.
This course is offered in English to undergraduate students from May 4 to 26, 2018.

There are various board games and a selection of books to help you pass the time between game drives in the park.

Question about GE 24 in. Profile PDW9280JSS Built-in Dishwasher
Control panel on top of door does not light up when power is applied. Also a high pitched sound is continuously emitted - I shut power off to reset the control panel. Turned power back on, same situation - no lights and high pitched sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Posted by Silverms on
I got the same problem (no lights on the control panel) .When i close the DW it beeps...some settings are on and it will only start if i use a flat item to press the Start button. (no idea what the setting is but one of the heated lights are on.
thjis problem happened when we got 2 short power outage within 5 min.
I have turned off power to DW at the main electric panel. did it with intervals of 2 min/10 min/2 hours/12 hours and finally 24 hours( I was desperate for it to work)
The dishwasher goes through a whole cycle , like I said before by pressing Start with a flat silverware, so in a way it works ...but not how it's supposed too..i am thiking control panel got fried ??? HELP !
I have replaced the control module and this did not fix the problem. The display does not light at all until you shut the door. At this point it beeps and you con see some lights on. It will run for a short time then guit.
I have the same problem, same situation (happened after a power outage), and the same solution (using a flat object to operate the start button when the door is closed). I just had a technician come out today and I'm not convinced he knows the solution. He told me it is either the keypad or the electronics that need to be replaced--Estimate was about $350.
I have a similar problem. The time delay button does not work and then dishwasher is stuck on Antibacterial setting. I have tried to turn off the power at the breaker with no help.
I have this problem. It was beeping randomly throughout the day, then on the control panel all the selections light & beeps work, but the START/RESET button does not light or beep or turn anything on...HELP
same problem no lights and a constant tone.
My delay start switch does not work and the dishwasher beeps periodically throughout the day. Also, I have it set for a 109 minute cycle and after about 20 minutes it says that I only have 35 minutes left in the cycle! Any suggestions?

Floral Arches, Beautiful First Impression
FIRST IMPRESSIONS in event design are crucial. They are moments that, if missed, are lost opportunities you just can't get back. For us, that first visual moment at a wedding is at the entrance to the ceremony area. The very spot the guests turn the corner, or come out of the terrace doors, or step out into the sunlight. It is then, at that very moment, when we introduce the first visual statement that not only says "wedding" but THIS wedding. Like the entrance arch you see here, made with lush greenery and white flowers, that initial impact helps the space develop from a blank canvas into a beautiful piece of art.
"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever." — Alfred Tennyson
A Floral Arch Makes a Beautiful First Impression, don't you think?
