It seems like these days everyone and their dog is a video game developer, journalist or YouTuber. Back in my day – bear in mind I'm only 23 – being a video game developer seemed like a pipe dream reserved for those lucky few who managed to work the system. I'm sure that it only seemed that way from my ill-informed childish perceptive. But I feel like it's not outlandish to claim that more indie games are releasing now than ever before. I mean take a glance at the upcoming tab on Steam or search "indie developer" on Twitter and you'll see what I mean.
But in this wild west of indie games that are coming at you quicker than you can say "but I haven't even played Hades yet" – true story – it's easy to miss some stellar titles that are currently in the works. Before I joined The Game Crater, I was reluctant to get Twitter. But, ever since getting it, I've realised – aside from Discord of course – it's a pretty fantastic way to get updates on games you're excited about.
So, I figured I'd do my due diligence and let you fine readers know about some phenomenal folks out there producing, talking about, or filming themselves playing some spicy looking games. I'm going to try and include as many people as I can. However, my knowledge will only stretch so far. There's going to be a mix of YouTubers, developers and journalists sprinkled in here. Hopefully, someone on this list will catch your eye, and you'll head on over and give them a follow. So, without further ado, here is a comprehensive guide of folks you should follow in no particular order.
The Accounts
There are a lot of accounts listed below in the guide with many of them even tucked away within the descriptions of other accounts! So, to help you out, I've compiled a list of every main account in the guide. If you like the sound of a particular Twitter account then click on any of these links to be brought directly to their description!

Inasa Fujio (@Inasa_Fujio)
If you're even vaguely interested in video games centred around Japan or Japanese culture, then following Inasa Fujio will almost certainly brighten your day. The self-described "confused game developer" is responsible for the phenomenal Rainy Season– which is available to play for very cheap over on Steam. Inasa doesn't post frequently, but whenever he does it is usually about some interesting details concerning his multitude of upcoming projects.
If you're looking to see a more personal side to Inasa, check out his other Twitter account – @Pilotfujio. While most of the tweets from that account are in Japanese, it's still worth checking out, especially if you want some solid movie recommendations. Any film by Hirokazu Koreeda is a plus in my book, just saying.
by yeo (@shin_yeo)
Yeo is by far one of my favourite indie developers working today. He has crafted two of the most impressive works of art I've had the pleasure of experiencing. If you're unfamiliar, Yeo is the developer behind The friends of Ringo Ishikawa and Arrest of a stone Buddha, both of which I highly recommend checking out on Steam or the Nintendo Switch. His Twitter account is currently documenting his work on his upcoming game, Fading Afternoon – which you can learn more about here.
I feel like this is an account well worth following. This is especially so if you want an insightful look into the life of a video game developer. Yeo isn't shy about sharing information about the development of his games. He offers some genuinely interesting insights into the world of game development. If you want to know more about Yeo, you can check out our interview with him here.
SonzaiGame (@2odddiodes)
If you haven't heard about the upcoming Persona meets Devil May Cry indie game, Sonzai, then honestly what are you doing with your life? Sonzai holds a special place in my heart, despite having never played it. Developed by two college students, and published by Top Hat Studios – check them out on Twitter too at @TopHatStudiosEN – Sonzai is a stunning hand-animated indie game all about exploring surreal worlds and getting through school. The Sonzai Twitter account has been posting images, gifs and videos of development showcasing some of the best the game has to offer.
Sonzai is one of the few games that has truly spoken to me and one that I am endlessly excited about. Yes, I know I wrote an article all about expectation and disappointment, but I can't help it. Look at how amazing it is! You should absolutely check out Sonzai on Steam and the developers on Twitter if only to look at some stunning art.
Yeshio (@YeshioXD)
Yeshio is a YouTuber I stumbled across one night while searching endlessly for new content. His review of Pine, the fantastic open-world adventure by Twirlbound – check them out on Twitter at @Twirlbound – was the first I watched, and since then I've pretty much-consumed everything he's made. Most of the videos he produces have some form of pretty incredible animation bookending each segment. Yeshio clearly puts a lot of effort into his videos, to the point that there is a running storyline that is at Season 3 now.
He has a huge range of content on his channel, including more comedic videos (see above), reviews, gameplay, music stuff (including one song I simply can't get out of my head) and more. His channel and Twitter account are seriously underrated and well worth taking a look at. You won't regret it.
Luke Nowland (@LukeNowland)
Luke Nowland is the Founder of Slo Nod Games – check them out on Twitter at @SloNodGames – and an incredible indie developer. While he doesn't post frequently, whenever he does you get a great insight into whatever project he's working on. We've reviewed countless Slo Nod games here on The Game Crater, and each one was as unique as the last.
You never really know what to expect from Luke Nowland other than whatever it is it's bound to be brilliant. This is definitely a developer to check out and keep your eye on, especially if you want to see innovation in the making.
A Long Journey to an Uncertain End (@CrispyCreative)
A Long Journey to an Uncertain End remains the only game I've backed on Kickstarter. From the moment I saw it, I knew it was going to be an amazing title. We've covered it and its respective demo here on The Game Crater. But suffice to say it's a truly genius game. The developers Crispy Creative are constantly updating their Twitter with developer updates, pictures, videos and the like, as well as all their backers with a ton of updates. They're clearly very invested in their game, and their commitment to it shows.
If you're interested in their "narrative space opera game that's Firefly meets The Fifth Element", then you should absolutely follow them on Twitter and check out their game on Steam. As always it's great to support indie developers, but these guys have a corgi as their mascot and a cute one at that. If that's not a good enough incentive, then I don't know what is!
Marina Sciberras (@cowleyfornian)
Marina Sciberras is an incredibly interesting developer with a fascinating background. We've spoken with her at length about her history with games over on our podcast – Crater Corner – as well as her game Sarawak and her upcoming project We'll always have Paris. While she doesn't tweet a ton, she does often share a lot of interesting projects, as well as details about Sarawak.
Marina is a self-taught developer with a lot of interesting things to say. Her games, which she makes with her partner, are truly one of a kind. I've never had a narrative experience quite like Sarawak, and it's one of the few games I've given a 10 out of 10. Definitely check out Marina on Twitter, the very reasonably priced Sarawak on Steam and her upcoming game too.
Boys Laugh + (@boyslaughplus)
Boys Laugh + are the folks behind the wonderful and free visual novel //TODO: today. It is one of the few games that has had a genuine impact on my life and made me contemplate my place in this world. No joke. So, when I say these guys are geniuses when it comes to visual novels and writing, you better believe it. They're also "focus on inclusivity and LGBT+ themes" which frankly I love. It's always amazing to see, and I fully believe we need more of it.
Boys Laugh + are working on a new title called Brassica – A Marry Tale which is available over on itch.io for $5. Currently, two of the planned 5 acts are available, with the price increasing with each new act. However, if you get it now you'll have access to all 5 acts when they've been released. They frequently share screenshots and development updates about their new project, so if you're interested in learning more about it, Twitter is definitely the place to find out. Be sure to check them out on Twitter, //TODO: today on Steam and Brassica – A Marry Tale on itch.io.
Smarto Club (@smarto_club)
Smarto Club are the developers behind the upcoming "cozy narrative" game Teacup. We got a chance to play it a little while ago during the LudoNarraCon event, and boy was it incredible. Smarto Club is made up of three members – @sukinapan, @franmeliov and @alce_x – and they frequently post updates to their Twitter account. Teacup is a game worth getting excited about, and following their Twitter account is probably the best way of doing that.
Like with all of the accounts listed in this guide, supporting these fine folk with a follow is surely appreciated. But Smarto Club are doing something truly unique here with Teacup, especially in the visual department. It's not often you get a game that looks as good as Teacup crop up. So, if this looks like something you'd enjoy, check out Teacup on Steam and Smarto Club on Twitter.
Happy Broccoli Games (@happybroccgames)
The fine folks over at Happy Broccoli Games are making one of the best titles to come out of the LudoNarraCon event: Kraken Academy!! If you haven't heard about Kraken Academy!! then I highly recommend checking out our preview. But if you don't fancy doing that, well then it is a "time travelling adventure with a magical kraken!" What more could you want?
As per usual, they post frequent updates, gifs, pictures and the like, but with an added sense of humour which is always appreciated. They also seem genuinely invested in their community, like a lot of the people listed in this guide. Definitely check these guys out on Twitter, and wishlist Kraken Academy!! on Steam.
Tall Story Games (@tallstorygames)
This is another developer that we've had the great fortune to interview over on our podcast Crater Corner. Tall Story Games is run by the wonderful Tom and Emma Hardwidge, who have had an interesting start in game development. They've used Twitter a lot to promote their upcoming point and click adventure game Lucy Dreaming and are constantly updating it with new material for fans.
From their point and click itch.io titles to this far bigger project, Tall Story Games put in so much effort into every project they've done. These guys are well worth a follow, if only to see their amazing progress and get a good insight into the world of game development from people who until recently weren't a part of said world. Check out Lucy Dreaming on Steam and Tall Story Games on Twitter.
jitspoe (@jitspoe)
Nathan "Jitspoe" Wulf is a phenomenal triple-A turned indie developer. He's just released his wonderfully witty game Goop Loop onto Steam, and is working on his upcoming 2.5D action platformer Fist of the Forgotten – which has its own Twitter account at @FistForgotten. We interviewed him a while back on our podcast Crater Corner, and had a fascinating discussion about transitioning from working on triple-A games like Far Cry to indie games.
Jitspoe has a wonderful sense of humour that is present in almost all of his tweets. He frequently showcases his various games, as well as letting fans know when he's streaming over on Twitch. Additionally, if you want a further honest insight into the world of game development, you can check out his YouTube channel. Check out Goop Loop on Steam, wishlist Fist of the Forgotten, subscribe on YouTube and Twitch and follow on Twitter. You won't regret it.
Kriegsfront Tactics (@kriegsfront)
If you're as big a fan of mechs as I am (this isn't the only mech-based Twitter account on here), then you should follow the Kriegsfront Tactics account immediately. Kriegsfront Tactics is a turned-based mecha game set in Southeast Asia and is inspired by Front Mission. It is being developed by Toge Productions – who have their own Twitter account at @togeproductions. This is a super stylish game with frankly incredible visual design, and is jam-packed with a ton of innovative features.
The developers have a wonderful sense of humour that is present throughout their Twitter account, and offer a lot of insight into the production of their game. Even if the game seems interesting, it is worth following their game on Twitter to get updates on how things are progressing.
David Czar (@davidczar_)
Studio Ghibli films have played a significant role in my life, going as far to even save it at one point. So when I saw David Czar's game Clawfish showcased in the 2021 Wholesome Direct, I immediately snapped it up. It is a stunning, Ghibli-inspired game that I called a "mesmerising sojurn" in my review.
Well, it goes without saying that David Czar's Twitter account is full of wonderful details about Clawfish. He is very invested in his community, and often thanks fans for their support. It's a great place to be, either to look at the phenomenal screenshots or bask in the wholesome nature of his account. Check out his twitter, Clawfish on Steam and his itch.io page.
To The Rescue! (@ToTheRescueGame)
We're huge fans of To The Rescue! here at The Game Crater. We got to interview one of its designers, Olivia Dunlap – follow her at @ocdunlap – not once, but twice. We wrote a big piece on why you should get excited about it during E3, and interviewed her on our podcast, Crater Corner. It's a dog shelter simulator by the fine folks at Little Rock Games – follow them at @PlayLRGames – and has an absolutely stunning visual style.
If you're looking for something wholesome to get invested in, then To The Rescue! should absolutely be on your radar. Everyone involved in the project is really wonderful and all deserve a follow too! You can check them out at @tmarshall619, @YukaOmatic, @merrigel and @Be11eBunny. This is likely to be one of the best indie games of the year, and definitely worth a follow. Wishlist To The Rescue! over on Steam and follow these fine folk on Twitter.
100 Word Gaming Reviews (@100WordGame)
You ever feel like the article you're reading goes on for way too long. I mean, not this article of course, but any other article? Well then 100 Word Gaming Reviews is absolutely for you. The name kind of gives away what they do, but to summarise they write reviews that are 100 words long. There's no fluff here. You want to know if something is good or not pronto? Then these are your guys.
Honestly, I'm a little jealous of 100 Word Gaming Reviews. It's hard to find a niche in a landscape dominated by hundreds of indie publications. These guys have found something and really stuck with it. Their content is always great, and their Twitter is just a great way to see what they're posting about. You can check out their site here and listen to their podcast here.
Misc. A Tiny Tale (@MiscATinyTale)
This one is a no-brainer for me. I love Misc. A Tiny Tale. When I played it back during the Steam Next Fest I had an absolute blast and couldn't praise it enough in my preview. My love of the game was only further increased after interviewing its lead developer, Michael Pearce – follow him at @AtomicPang – on our podcast Crater Corner. Misc. A Tiny Tale is a platformer inspired by Chibi-Robo! and is full of fantastic ideas and great world building. It is being developed by the wholesome Tinyware Games – you can follow them at @tinywaregames.
There's a lot to love about Misc. A Tiny Tale and its Twitter account. They retweet a lot of posts from other indie games which is great for hearing about other upcoming titles. They also offer a wonderful insight into Misc. A Tiny Tale itself and offer frequent updates. It's hard not to love this game, and I highly recommend both wishlisting it on Steam and giving these guys a follow.
3D Platformers (@3D_Platformers)
Okay, so this one kind of feels like cheating as the account is ran by Michael Pearce aka the aforementioned @AtomicPang and lead designer of Misc. A Tiny Tale. But, I honestly felt like due to the amazing work that they're doing over at 3D Platformers, I would be remiss if I didn't include them. Essentially, the account posts about upcoming indie platformers sharing details about them and even offering their opinions from time to time.
They're even hosting their own direct-style presentation in September, specifically focusing on indie 3D platformers. It's always great to see developers supporting each other, and the work this account is doing is likely a huge help to some. It would be great to see this account grow, and continue to help out these indie games. Who knows, by following them you might even discover something that peaks your interest.
Wolfstride (@wolfstride_game)
This account is seriously underrated, especially considering how amazing Wolfstride looks. This is a turn-based mech fighting game being developed by OTA IMON – follow them at @ota_imon – and published by Raw Fury – follow them at @RawFury. The visuals alone should sell you on this incredibly stylish title, especially if you're into anime and mechs.
I personally tried out Wolfstride during the Steam Next Fest and absolutely loved it. It is by far one of the best mech-based games I've ever played, and satisfied my desire for a kickass mech game. You should definitely wishlist Wolfstride and give these guys a follow. You can even try out its free demo on Steam.
Zeepkist (@ZeepkistGame)
Zeepkist is a super fun cooperative soap-box racing game currently in Early Access. Its Twitter account is the place to be for updates and some pretty sweet gameplay. Zeepkist is being developed by solo indie developer Steelpan Interactive – follow him at @Steelpan_Dev – also known as Yannic – follow him for some genuinely brilliant opinions at @fiets38.
We've loved Zeepkist ever since we got to review it way back when. It was actually one of the first games I got to review back when I started at The Game Crater. So, it holds a special place in my heart. We've been covering it ever since, and letting you fine readers know whenever an update is released. You should definitely check out both Zeepkist on Steam and on Twitter.
Star or Shovelware (@SShovelware)
Star or Shovelware is a phenomenal YouTuber that any self-respecting Switch owner should be subscribed to. He's doing some incredibly work on his channel, not only reviewing all sorts of Switch games from indie to triple-A, but also spotlighting the tragic state of the Nintendo Switch eShop and the obscene amount of asset flips on there. I discussed him and all of this in my article about the sorry state of the Nintendo Switch eShop.
His Twitter account is dedicated to letting his fans know about newly released videos, so it's well worth following if you're interested in his channel. You can also check out his very welcoming Discord of which I am a member. Definetly check out Star or Shovelware if you want to see the finest in video game reviews.
LOST CONSTRUCT (@lostconstrgame)
If you're a fan of Advanced Wars, but, like me, the recent reveal of Advanced Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot Camp didn't do it for you, then you're going to want to check out LOST CONSTRUCT. This is the sci-fi spin on Advanced Wars that I've been pining after for quite some time. The developers post relatively regularly with updates and videos about their incredibly stylish take on the Advanced Wars formula.
So, if you're looking for a unique turn-based strategy game to get into, then you can't go wrong with LOST CONSTRUCT. It is well worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the genre and of the game's inspirations.
Brass Brigade Game (@BrassBrigadeDev)
If you checked out my recent guide about the best shooters with offline bots, then there's a chance you came across Brass Brigade. This is by far one of my favourite games currently, as it usually takes up a huge portion of my day. It is a huge offline first-person/third-person WW2 title with a whole slew of maps and battles for the player to take part in.
You can fully customise how many bots you want per match, as well as various other features. This is a criminally underrated game, and deserves far more attention that what it is currently receiving. For its exceptionally low price, you absolutely cannot go wrong. Check out both Brass Brigade on Steam and its Twitter account.
thekoalarebellion (@koalarebellion)
If you're a fan of retro point and click adventure games then you might just want to take a look at The Koala Rebellion. Brimming with "action, puzzles and slap-silly-stickiness", The Koala Rebellion looks like a fun hommage to the point and click games of yonder. With stunning pixel art work by pixel_salvaje – follow them at @Pixel_Salvaje – The Koala Rebellion will surely please fans of the genre.
It's also just a fun account to follow, as they regularly document the trials and tribulations of an indie dev in a rather humourous way. They're absolutely deserving of your follow, especially if you are into point and click games. Check out their website to try the demo and follow them on Twitter.
Did We Miss Any?
There's already a ton of accounts listed in this article, but there's bound to be hundreds more that we've missed. Let us know on our various social media accounts – including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter – about any indie gaming Twitter accounts that you'd recommend following.

Latest industry awards for estate agents
Pygott and Crone was named East Midlands Estate Agency of the Year at the recently held Relocation Agent Network of the Year Awards.

Assessing numerical error in structural dynamics using energy

This work applies the variational principles of Lagrange and Hamilton to the assessment of numerical methods of linear structural analysis. Different numerical methods are used to simulate the behaviour of three structural configurations and benchmarked in their computation of the Lagrangian action integral over time. According to the principle of energy conservation, the difference at each time step between the kinetic and the strain energies must equal the work done by the external forces. By computing this difference, the degree of accuracy of each combination of numerical methods can be assessed. Moreover, it is often difficult to perceive numerical instabilities due to the inherent complexities of the modelled structures. By means of the proposed procedure, these complexities can be globally controlled and visualized in a straightforward way. The paper presents the variational principles to be considered for the collection and computation of the energy-related parameters (kinetic, strain, dissipative, and external work). It then introduces a systematic framework within which the numerical methods can be compared in a qualitative as well as in a quantitative manner. Finally, a series of numerical experiments is conducted using three simple 2D models subjected to the effect of four different dynamic loadings.

$60-90 per session
Book an Appointment with Elaine
Shamanic bodywork is intuitive, integrative and insightful. Sometimes physical imbalances are messages related to spiritual and emotional imbalances, interpersonal relationships, and soul growth. I call upon the forces of nature -- earth, water, air, fire, the void -- to bring in the elemental balance required by spirit for your own transformation.
Biggest change and transformation happens when you're at the edge of your "comfort zone" and entering into the unknown. Shamanic bodywork acts as an intermediary for these transitions, helping to guide you with grace and ease.

Internet Explodes After Noticing Something Weird About Beloved 90's Kids Show
I remember watching a lot of "Arthur", with my daughters, on PBS, back in the 90s - and I can't believe that I didn't see this. As highlighted in The Mirror, out of the UK, Arthur apparently has two sets of ears.
I understand designing believable headphones for an aardvark might be problematic - but, really PBS?
Looks like a lady who goes by the Twitter handle Doc McDabbins finally took the issue public in June:
Poor Arthur - a couple more years and ear-buds would've solved all of this.
And if you really get bored - here's some of the weird fan theories about "Arthur" (he might be in a coma).

A word of thanks and moment of pause for the trailblazers
"Rise up fallen fighters
Rise and take your stance again"
— Robert Nesta Marley
Last week we witnessed a combination of cries and celebrations.
Last week we witnessed a combination of tears and triumphs.
Last week we stood among giants and walked with legends.
On May 22, Bermuda stopped to recognise the 50th anniversary of the first General Election to be held under universal adult suffrage, which ensured that the eligibility to vote was based not on property ownership but on age alone.
Essentially, it allowed those of lower economic standing an equal footing, politically at least, as those of higher financial standing.
This fundamental right was not only given to Bermudians by the powers that be. This had to be an orchestrated effort from multiple angles, starting with those who formed the Committee for Universal Adult Suffrage.
While this was chaired by Pauulu Kamarakafego, the former Roosevelt Brown, it was revealed or reiterated by Glenn Fubler that the driving forces behind this committee were three ladies — the late Roslyn Williams, the late Edwena Smith and the very living Florenz Maxwell.
Hundreds of persons sat both in awe and tears at the home-going service for Edwena Smith, held on Monday at her home church of St Paul AME. A fitting venue, as it was in the very basement of this church that the CUAS was formed and agendas fleshed out more than 50 years ago.
I sat in the main hall of the very same church that enveloped my childhood years, envisioning the untold number of meetings held within those very walls. The hundreds, thousands, of St Paul members who served in both diligence and silence to birth social and political democracy in our island. Most of whom worked behind the scenes in whatever capacity that was needed, while others served on the front line of the war against racial inequality.
One such St Paul member, who wore several hats, is Progressive Labour Party stalwart and legend Stanley Morton.
Mr Morton was among those who were recently honoured at a special joint sitting of both the Upper House and Lower House on May 22. He was joined by others who ran in that historic first election.
Among those honoured as the Class of 1968 were the following:
• Former Speaker of the House Stanley Lowe
• C.V. "Jim" Woolridge
• Stanley Morton
• Walter Roberts
• William Cox
• Arthur Hodgson
• Howard Saltus
• Donald Jones
The latter two gentlemen, while never elected to Parliament, ran as candidates for the Progressive Labour Party in that historic 1968 election. Of note, Walter Roberts was first elected as a Member of the Colonial Parliament in the 1963 General Election.
During the special sitting, Mr Roberts gave a detailed presentation of many of the events leading up to the election itself:
• The facts around how most Bermudians were denied the right to vote before 1963
• The 1965 split within the PLP that led to the formation of the Bermuda Democratic Party
• The fight for universal adult suffrage
• The results of the 1968 election, when the PLP won eight out of 40 seats
• The pay that parliamentarians received
• His unmatched perfect attendance in the House for 35 years
Throughout the time that he spoke, you could hear a combination of pain, passion and purpose emanating from his heart and soul. In a hall full of politicians, spanning multiple generations, persons sat in awe at the history laid bare for all to absorb.
Fittingly, the Speaker of the House, Dennis Lister, arranged for Mr Roberts to speak from the government benches, as he had spent his entire political career in opposition. This was a special moment for someone well deserving.
Without a doubt, it is because of the works of those in both the background such as Edwena Smith, Florenz Maxwell, and those on the front lines such as Stanley Morton, Howard Saltus, Donald Jones and Walter Roberts that Bermudians enjoy the democracy that we have today.
Had they not been prepared to sacrifice it all for the betterment of those left behind, I do not know where we would be today as a country.
As we sit in our chairs in Parliament today, I challenge all of my fellow MPs, on both sides of the floor, to sit in silence for a few minutes to give thanks to the known and unknown freedom fighters who paved the way for us.
Rise and stand to honour them.
•Christopher Famous is the government MP for Devonshire East (Constituency 11). You can reach him at WhatsApp on 599-0901 or e-mail at email@example.com

Ripening bananas (color stage 5) were placed in closed jars held at 20°C. Nitrogen (99.99%, 100 ml/min) or air were flowed through the jars. SPME (Solid Phase Micro Extraction) was used for sampling dynamic headspace and analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Several volatile compounds decreased with time in the nitrogen treatment. Production of isobutyl butyrate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, methyl heptanoate, pentyl acetate, and 2-pentanol which were present in air treatments, were absent in the nitrogen treatment. Ethanol rapidly increased until the last day. Off-flavors were detected by most panelists after three days of N2 treatment and off-flavors increased in the following days. Reversibility of off-flavor after exposing the bananas to air was not detected by panelists. Correlations were low between the main compounds in the nitrogen treatment and the off-flavor score.
High performance liquid chromatography of mature 'Beurre d'Anjou' and 'Beurre Bosc' pear (Pyrus communis L.) fruit flesh showed that the major phenolics at harvest were chlorogenic acid, catechin, and arbutin. Neither cultivar contained epicatechin nor p-coumaroyl quinate. During 160 days at –1°C the chlorogenic acid content of d'Anjou increased significantly. In 'Bosc', chlorogenic acid levels decreased during storage. Catechin content increased linearly while arbutin levels remained nearly constant in both cultivars. Coincident with the completion of the cold requirement for initiation of ripening and endogenous ethylene production, i.e., 20 days for 'Bosc' and 50 days for 'd'Anjou', there was an appearance of low levels of a p-coumaric acid derivative and trace amounts of epicatechin/p-coumaroyl quinate. At 120 days epicatechin/p-coumaroyl quinate increased in 'd'Anjou' but not in 'Bosc'. There is a coincidence, and perhaps relationship, between ethylene production and the quantity as well as the composition of phenolics present during storage. Bruising pear fruit after 120 days of storage caused a 30% increase in chlorogenic acid and a 50% increase in catechin, but no increase in p-coumaric acid derivatives.
Forty-six days at –1°C were required to stimulate ethylene synthesis in harvested 'd'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.). The effect of exogenous ethylene on changes in quality parameters and organoleptic properties, and the effect of cold temperature on the development of ethylene production, were studied during the 46 days at –1°. Pears were held in 10 or 50 ppm exogenous ethylene at 20° after 30 or less days at –1°. Respiration increased from 8 to about 19 mg CO2·kg-1·hr-1 in fruit held in ethylene over a 12-day period, whereas fruit held in air showed only a slight increase. Firmness of fruit held in ethylene decreased from 66 to 12 N over 12 days at 20°. No significant change in firmness occurred in fruit held in air at 20°. The volume of extractable juice was unchanged in fruit held in air, but declined in fruit held in ethylene. The soluble solids content was not affected by ethylene treatment. Taste panel evaluation determined that fruit held 30 days at –1° then held 10 days in ethylene at 20° were ripe, sweet, and juicy, but fruit held in air were comparable to fruit never held at 20°. Pear flesh disks cut from fruit held 21 days at –1° did not convert exogenous 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene, but did so when cut from fruit held 41 or 50 days at –1°. Only with the onset of ethylene production was endogenous ACC detectable in pear flesh. During the 46 days at –1° required for initiation of ethylene production, the capacity to convert ACC to ethylene developed first, followed by production of ACC and ethylene.
Dormant 'Viva' rose bushes kept at 0° or 5°C were subjected to 0, 1, 10, 100, or 1000 ppm ethylene for 4 weeks, then planted in containers and forced in the greenhouse. At planting, ethylene damage was not apparent, except to the plants exposed to the combination of 5° and 1000 ppm ethylene. However, after 5 weeks of growth, there was progressively more cane mortality and less budbreak as ethylene concentrations were increased, with more damage for the 5° than the 0° treatments.
'd'Anjou' pear fruit (Pyrus communis L.) stored at −1°C for 125 days in 3% O2, or 153 days in 1% O2 storage had internal ethylene levels equal to those of air-stored fruit. Fruit softened faster during subsequent ripening at 20° after 1% or 3% O2 storage than after air storage. Endogenous ACC levels were 20 times higher in fruit stored in 1% or 3% O2 compared to air-stored fruit. Exogenous application of 5 mm ACC stimulated at 2-fold increase in ethylene production from 1% O2-stored fruit and a 4-fold increase in air-stored fruit. When 5 mm ACC, in combination with 0.05 mm cycloheximide (CHI), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, were supplied exogenously to disks cut from pears stored in air or 1% O2, the air-stored fruit produced 100 times more ethylene than 1% O2-stored fruit. Increased internal ethylene levels and accelerated softening during ripening of 1% or 3% O2-stored fruit suggests the need for rapid marketing of this fruit as compared to air-stored fruit. Chemical names used: 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC), 3-[2(3,5-dimethyl-2-oxocyclohexyl)-2-hydroxyethyl glutarimide (cycloheximide).
Internal ethylene of attached fruit of 'Starkspur Golden Delicious' apple as influenced by 6 rootstocks: Seedling, Mailing (M1) 1, Mailing Merton 106 (MM 106), M 7, OAR 1, M 26, at 2 levels each of soil-applied K and N were measured during maturation for 2 years (1980 and 1981). Ethylene evolution of detached fruit as a result of these treatments also was measured after 2.5 months of storage at 0°C in 1981. Internal ethylene in the attached fruit was less than 0.1 μl·liter-1 in late September and early October and began to rise between 9 Oct. and 15 Oct. Internal ethylene increased in all treatments, almost at the same time in 1980. In 1981, ethylene in the fruit on OAR 1 began to increase 9 days later than in the other rootstocks. However, levels of ethylene in the fruit were relatively low on OAR 1 and high on M 26 as compared to those on other rootstocks in late October 1980 and 1981 and during poststorage 1981 samplings. Ethylene levels in fruit from other rootstocks were similar. Because of these variable effects of rootstocks, and the effects of a low field temperature in reducing internal ethylene levels, field sampling of internal ethylene levels was an unreliable indicator of the proper harvest time, as measured by other maturity indices. No consistent influence of K or N applications was found in the internal ethylene of the attached fruit; however, high N applications increased ethylene evolution after storage.
Kernels in the shell were compared to bare kernels with pellicles, half nuts, blanched nuts, finely chopped nuts, and roasted nuts. Whole nuts and whole kernels were stable for up to two years of storage provided they had not been exposed to high temperatures. Nuts stored at low temperatures (0 and 5°C) did not lose significant amounts of vitamin E. Increasing surface area by dividing nuts or finely chopping them, increased the loss of vitamin E. Samples that had lower surface areas did not lose much vitamin E and peroxide value was low. Higher roasting temperatures caused losses in vitamin E and increased peroxide values at the beginning and during storage, even when stored at 0°C. Intact nuts and low storage temperatures did not show changes in fatty acid composition. High temperature treatments changed fatty acid composition, mainly decreasing linoleic initially and finally oleic acids.

CBD Critical Cure, often called just Critical Cure, is a potent Indica-dominant hybrid strain grown for its insane CBD levels. This strain has a wide variety of uses but is most popular amongst those who would prefer their medicine be less-psychoactive and patients with illnesses that CBD treats quite well. Critical Cure was first bred by the infamous Barney's Farms, a cannabis company out of the Netherlands which has been growing and cultivating cannabis genetics for nearly 4 decades now. This strain is a cross between the classic Critical Krush and an Unknown Ruderalis strain.
Although this bud is quite Indica-dominant, that wouldn't be all too apparent from its physical structure. Sure the buds might be shaped like spades, which is typical of Indica flowers, but it is also quite leafy and fluffy which is typical of Sativa flowers. They are often forest or olive green in color, with bright orange hairs wrapping around the exterior of the flower. In addition, you'll find a fine coating of tiny white and amber trichomes coating much of the surface of the flower. Like the effects provided by this bud, the aroma is quite mellow. Expect sweet pungent hints of earth and peppery lemon to waft out of the jar this flower came in. Likewise, the flavor of the smoke is quite mild, with peppery citrus and earthy lemon flavor coating the throat from any harsh burn.
Typical EffectsRelaxed
Common UsageStress
The high from Critical Cure is incredibly relaxing. Few flowers can compare to the complete state of relaxation you can reach without sacrificing your mental faculties. This high never becomes too much to handle, a comforting thought for those who can't tolerate high amounts of THC. A slight body buzz numbs any physical pains you might be experiencing while a sleepy effect washes over your mind and leaves you a little sleepy. While you might find yourself examining the far corners of your consciousness in an introspective episode, the world around you will continue on. Some report losing some time to this strain without feeling uncomfortably spacey or out of it. In fact, many have found that this introspectiveness can be turned into social talkativeness that helps get them out of their shells in social environments. Thankfully, this strain's high CBD levels also make it great for treating muscle spasms, nausea, GI issues, seizures, chronic pain, and depression.

JOLIET, Ill.—One of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' youngest drivers struck a blow for old-school racing on Saturday morning at Chicagoland Speedway.
Stretching his fuel mileage beyond the capabilities of most of his of competitors, John Hunter Nemechek rolled across the finish line 12.014 seconds ahead of Tyler Reddick, who was also saving fuel, to score his first victory in the series in the American Ethanol e15 225.
At 18 years, 3 months and 8 days, Nemechek is the fourth youngest winner in the series, and he accomplished the victory with a skeleton crew working on a team owned by his father, Joe Nemechek.
Nemechek, a current member of the NASCAR Next class, came to pit road for the last time on Lap 94, topping off under caution one lap before the race returned to green, and managed to squeeze 56 laps out of his last tank of gas. Inheriting the lead on Lap 149 of 150 when Keystone Light Polesitter Kyle Larson ran out of fuel and brought his car to pit road, Nemechek ran out of gas off the final corner and coasted across the stripe.
"We got to top off there with one to go, and he (crew chief Gere Kennon) told me to save fuel, save fuel that last run, and that's what we ended up doing," John Hunter Nemechek said. "I ran out coming out of Turn 4. It was great strategy that he had worked up in his mind.
"I should know never to doubt him."
When Nemechek took the green flag for the last time on Lap 96, Kennon figured the No. 8 Chevrolet was four laps short of finishing the race but didn't give his driver the specific numbers.
"I just told him to save," Kennon said. "It got to 10 (laps) to go, and I said, 'Just slow down—just save.' He didn't say anything back, and I was like, 'He may not know how to save.' I told him to slow down even more, and it all worked out.'
Exclusive of Joe Nemechek and son, Kennon is one of nine full-time employees supporting the Truck Series operation.
"You have to think," Joe Nemechek said. "Gere Kennon and myself—we're thinkers. We're old-school thinkers. You had to figure stuff out back in the past, not with engineering, but with the old-school way of thinking 'How do you make it better?' And we've been able to do that."
John Hunter Nemechek is quick to acknowledge the financial and emotional commitment his father has made to his racing effort.
"He has everything invested in me, and he believes in me, so, without him, none of this would be possible, and I wouldn't be here today," John Hunter said."
With his runner-up finish, Reddick took over second place in the series standings, 10 points behind leader Erik Jones, who finished sixth. Two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton suffered two pit road penalties, ran out of fuel and finished 14th, three laps down, to fall to third in points, 11 behind Jones.
Timothy Peters led 41 laps and finished third, followed by Daniel Suarez, who overcame two pit road penalties to run fourth. Johnny Sauter led a race-high 52 laps and came home fifth.
The race was originally scheduled to take place Friday night but was postponed due to rain until this morning.

I drive out to Mama's Gyros on Kiehl Avenue in Sherwood and order a street style chicken gyro that comes with tomato, onion, tzatziki and basically a whole order of french fries all wrapped up in a large pita. I get home and open it up and the sandwich is basically the size of a college football, so I make several little bite size sandwiches. I eat most of the contents and a third of the pita and drink a 7.5 ounce Diet Coke.
I didn't know it was gonna happen in this way, but my nieces love books, and when I wrote the first draft, it was just a pen and ink drawing in a leather journal that my friend Ganelle gave me as a going away present just some poems, no story involved. And when I read it to them, they loved it so much. So I was like, "OK, I've got to do something with this." When I moved back home to finish my last semester at the Clinton School [of Public Service], the year I graduated, I showed Erin, and she was like, "Yeah." So the little sketches I did expanded.
Their comments about "today urban sprawl" are deeply flawed, and nave, as you point out. Here why. Sprawl is inevitable in a settlement that has population growth. Ljiljana Kalaba, the organization director of settlement services, said pandemic information and orientation sessions are offered for immigrants in a variety of languages beyond French and English. The experience for new arrivals to Canada has changed greatly with the pandemic. Trained staff from the association, who speak the same language as newcomers, pick them up from the airport wearing masks in a vehicle divided by Plexiglas.
There are fewer than 400 north Atlantic right whales remaining, and any mortality of the species is a serious setback to rescuing the animals from extinction, according to federal biologists who expressed dismay over Saturday discovery of the 22 foot (7 meter) male infant at Anastasia State Park near St. Augustine. At least that how it seemed.

New York City Man Charged with Nearly $4 Million COVID-19 Relief Fraud Scheme and Money Laundering [Department of Justice] According to court documents, Gregory J. Blotnick, 34, of New York City and West Palm Beach, used a variety of false representations to fraudulently obtain more than $3.8 million in federal COVID-19 PPP funds. To obtain the loan money, Blotnick submitted eight falsified loan applications to numerous lenders on behalf of five of Blotnick's businesses, including his New York City-based hedge fund management firm, Brattle Street Capital LLC and related entities. To obtain the PPP loans, Blotnick submitted false information, including the number of his employees, federal tax returns for his businesses, and his payroll documentation, and he certified that he would use the loan money only for business-related purposes. After fraudulently obtaining the loans, Blotnick laundered and misused the loan proceeds by, among other things, transferring those proceeds to brokerage accounts and placing more than $3 million in losing stock trades.

Covid-19 Vaccine Self Registration | CoWIN Login For Vaccination | CoWIN App Registration | CoWIN App Login | CoWIN Vaccine Details | Vaccination Registration By Arogya Setu/ UMANG App
The Government of India is ready to start registration for the Phase 3 vaccination campaign from May 1. To vaccinate citizens under Phase 3 from May 1, the central government has announced that all citizens over the age of 18 will be eligible to receive the vaccine against COVID-19 from May 1. And you will be able to take a dose in any hospital near you. For this, citizens will have to register through online medium.
Since supplying vaccines is a concern for the government, states like Maharashtra have opted for 18+ delays in roll-out. But in other states of the country, the much awaited self-registration process started on Wednesday 28 April 2021 at 4 pm.
From June 21 across the country, the central government is providing free corona vaccine to all citizens above 18 years of age in every state, 75 percent of the total vaccine production will be purchased by the Indian government from the corona vaccine manufacturers. While free to the state governments, 25 percent of the vaccine being made in India can be taken directly from private sector hospitals, this system will continue.
Private hospitals will be able to charge a maximum service charge of Rs 150 for a single dose after the fixed price of the corona vaccine. The work of monitoring it will be with the state governments only. The central government will give the vaccine according to the population of the states, the number of infected and the speed of vaccination. Significantly, several state governments had suggested that they be allowed to directly procure vaccines based on local needs and give them the priority. After this the Government of India amended the guidelines.
Many states said that they are facing difficulties regarding the vaccine. Vaccine funding, procurement and logistics influenced the pace of the national COVID-19 vaccination Programme. It was also observed that even small and remote private hospitals were facing many problems. Keeping all these aspects in mind, the National COVID Immunization Guidelines have been reviewed and amended from May 1 till date and after repeated requests from the States.
Meanwhile, the Union Health Ministry on Sunday said that more than 3.06 crore COVID-19 vaccines are available with the states and union territories and they will get more than 24.53 lakh vaccines in the next three days. The Ministry said that as per the data available from Sunday till 8 am, the Government of India has so far provided more than 29,10,54,050 vaccines to the States and Union Territories. Out of this, a total of 26,04,19,412 vaccines including wasted vaccines have been consumed.
He said that at present there are 3,06,34,638 anti-COVID-19 vaccines available with the states and union territories. "24,53,080 more vaccines are ready to be sent and they will receive them in the next three days," the ministry said.
Also told that as a nationwide vaccination campaign, the Government of India is helping the states and union territories by providing them free Kovid vaccines. Along with this, the Center is also providing the facility to the states and union territories to buy vaccines directly. "Testing, surveillance and COVID-friendly practices as well as vaccination are an important pillar of the government's comprehensive strategy for management and prevention of this pandemic," the ministry said.
Because where can the final and effective solution to prevent lockdown corona go, but it also has some side effects in which it also has a negative impact on the economy of the country. Vaccination is therefore considered India's best shot against the invisible enemy covid-19. Vaccines prove to be very safe and extremely effective for all adults.
Important information for 18 plus registrations that start on https://t.co/S3pUooMbXX at 4 PM on 28th. 1. Appointment for Age 18 to 44 is based on slots made available by the private vaccinations centers as well as the respective state government.

Topgolf recently announced that a new venue in Chengdu, slated to open in 2022, will be the largest Topgolf venue in the world.
The global sports and entertainment company is well known for innovating the driving range experience by adding technology to the tees and quality food and drink options.
Bar and dining area at a Topgolf venue in Austin, Texas
The Chengdu venue will be nearly 12,000 square meters and include a Chinese restaurant along with a premium steakhouse, seafood restaurant and all-day dining, among other options.
Chengdu Topgolf venue rendering
According to a press release from Topgolf, the Chengdu venue is one of many venues set to open across Asia. Topgolf currently has 70 venues in six countries.
On Tuesday, the company opened its first Chinese mainland venue to the public in Shanghai.
The all-indoor 2,700-square-meter space is a lounge concept that includes a nine-hole mini golf experience inspired by Chinese watercolors.
While there are no actual swing bays for guests to whiff balls in an embarrassing fashion (it happens a lot), there are swing bay simulators to try out.
Headquartered in the US, Topgolf has played a role in introducing more people around the world to the game of golf by adding a new level of entertainment to the prototypical driving range.
While Guangzhou has multiple driving ranges you can check out, none are on par with Topgolf.
