When I plug my power core in to charge it, the individual battery lights light up one by one, then turn off, rinse and repeat. This is not the sign that they are charging, which is a different pattern. Is it charging? If not, then what is it doing? I have tried the supplied charger, the cable that's used for the Samsung wireless charging pad, and a Nintendo switch ac adapter. All have the same issue.
I by no means am an expert, but you have tried with different cables / leads and still have a problem which 9 times outta 10 is the problem. You could maybe try leaving it connected for a bit longer to see if that has an effect (few hours). Maybe someone else could offer a different approach
But I feel the outcome maybe that you will have to send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com and explain your situation and provide them with your serial number and order info, if it's within last 18months then you will be covered under warranty. Anker has the best customer support around so they will sort you out.
I'm hoping when you say rinse it you don't mean with water
Is it a PowerCore with a USB-C port? If so, pressing the power button prior to connecting the cable will set the USB-C port to output (to charge your Switch, for example).
You would want the unit to be off before connecting the charger if you want to recharge the PowerCore.
As @k_pug2003 mentioned, feel free to contact email@example.com for further assistance.
After I typed my question I went to sleep with my switch charger plugged in. When I woke up it hadn't made any progress. I'll probably email support like you suggested. Oh, and no. I haven't washed it with water yet. Do you think it'll help?
This is how my battery pack charges, leave it plugged in for at least 4 hours if not more and you will see that it will continue to do this until it's fully charged.
When trying to power a usb c device, you have to press the Power button Before plugging it into your device to be charged, otherwise it can try to draw power from that device instead of charging it

President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are famous for keeping the details of their personal life private.
But the Obamas have just gone public with a very intimate and painful struggle: They had a miscarriage and went on to use in vitro fertilization, or IVF, to conceive their two daughters 20 years ago.
In an early look at Michelle Obama's new memoir, Becoming, the Associated Press reported that the Obamas turned to IVF after a miscarriage left them feeling alone, "failed," and "broken."
"We were trying to get pregnant and it wasn't going well," the former first lady writes. "We had one pregnancy test come back positive, which caused us both to forget every worry and swoon with joy, but a couple of weeks later I had a miscarriage, which left me physically uncomfortable and cratered any optimism we felt."
By the time she hit her mid-30s, the former lawyer told ABC's Good Morning America, she had a growing awareness that "the biological clock is real" and "egg production is limited."
So she sought out IVF treatments from a fertility doctor and began giving herself hormone shots, the AP reported. While her "sweet, attentive husband" worked at the state legislature, she was left "largely on my own to manipulate my reproductive system into peak efficiency." (For more about how the process works, read on.)
Eventually, Obama became pregnant, first with Malia, who is now 20, and then Sasha, now 17.
Millions of Americans now turn to fertility clinics for help having babies, and about 2 percent of all US births involve some kind of assisted reproductive technology. Miscarriage is also the most common complication of pregnancy, with as many as one in five pregnancies resulting in one.
But people often don't talk about these experiences, both because they can be physically and emotionally painful and because of the stigma and lack of awareness about how common they are.
That's now rapidly changing. The Obamas' revelation comes in the same week that actress Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade shared that they had a baby with the help of a surrogate. Sen. Tammy Duckworth has also told her miscarriage and IVF story, along with Beyoncé, Chrissy Teigen, Khloe Kardashian, and other celebrities.
But Michelle Obama's revelation may be particularly influential: With her book tour launching next week, she's poised to help normalize miscarriage and become a powerful voice in a new generation of parents who are opening up about their struggles with infertility.
Since 1996, more than a million babies in the US have been born using IVF
A quick primer on fertility: In an unassisted pregnancy, a woman's ovary releases an egg, and sperm finds and fertilizes the egg. That fertilized egg then travels through the fallopian tubes into the uterus, where it attaches and, if all progresses normally, grows into a fetus.
But this process can be thwarted for all kinds of reasons, not all of them well understood. A woman may not produce eggs every month, or her eggs may not be healthy. A man may not have enough viable sperm. Couples may be older, or have chronic diseases or sexual dysfunction that make conception difficult.
Enter assisted reproductive technology, or ART. It's any fertility treatment that involves fertilizing an egg outside the body, and the most common type is IVF. With IVF, a woman's ovaries are stimulated to produce eggs using medication, and then they're removed from her ovaries. In liquid in a lab, a man's sperm is combined with the eggs to produce a fertilized egg, which is then reinserted into the woman, where, if successful, it'll result in a pregnancy.
As the Stanford scholar Hank Greely explained in Vox, "IVF is neither cheap nor fun." It costs parents on average more than $12,000, isn't always covered by insurance, and carries health risks. "Most of the cost, and all of the discomfort and risks, lies in harvesting eggs. Egg harvest requires weeks of injections with powerful hormones, the side effects of which lead to several hundred hospitalizations a year in the US."
Still, more and more Americans are turning to assisted reproductive technologies to conceive.
"Four decades after the birth of Louise Brown, the first 'test-tube baby' conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF), 33 percent of American adults report that they or someone they know has used some type of fertility treatment in order to try to have a baby," a Pew Research Center survey reported this year.
Since 1996, more than a million babies have been born in the US using these technologies, including 75,000 babies in 2016 alone, according to Pew. Part of this is due to the fact that more couples, like the Obamas, are trying to get pregnant at older ages, when the odds of conception drop.
But as Obama hinted, some people still don't feel comfortable discussing their infertility. In an interview with ABC, she revealed that she felt like she "failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were. ... We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we're broken."
Married African American women have higher rates of infertility than married white women, and may face even more intense stigma.
With Obama's revelation, maybe that'll change. As Obama put it, "That's one of the reasons why I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen."

For many diehard fans of underground Hip Hop music, the date of January 2, 2016 will forever be the epitome of a holiday hangover. It was the day that independent powerhouse Funk Volume Records unraveled in the public eye as a result of Hopsin's incendiary social media lambasting of his co-CEO, Damien "Dame" Ritter.
The announcement struck a lethal blow to fans who had sworn by the label for the past four years, leaving the future in a state of uncertainty and limbo. And then the artists began to share their personal experiences in the ensuing months. We spoke to Dizzy Wright, chopped it up with Jarren Benton — we even sat down with Hopsin as he cleared the air from his perspective.
Ritter remained the last key player in Funk Volume's legacy to speak his peace, as he was waiting for the legal drama to subside. But that day has finally come and this why Funk Volume broke up, according to him.
Funk Volume Is A Record Label, No Longer
"First and foremost, all the legal is done. Funk Volume is officially no longer a record label so I want to make sure I didn't jeopardize that process," Ritter says on his reasoning for staying silent for so long.
"But I think secondly, if I would have spoke out sooner, I wouldn't have had a chance to kind of reflect on what actually happened because during that time, it kind of was like a tornado; stuck in the midst of things. It's not always the best [decision] to talk while things are in chaos. I kind of wanted to let things die down so I could better understand what was happening."
Funk Volume Ended Without A Conversation Between Hopsin
"I'm not really able to discuss how the assets were divided but [Hopsin and I] came to a resolution. I haven't talked to him in many months. Everything we did was done through lawyers to end it. All I can say is we're both moving on.
The last time I actually talked [to Hopsin] was the discussion with the entire team. The last discussion that we had, we were actually trying to work things out. Myself, Dizzy, Jarren, SwizZz and Hop on the phone.
There's no beef on my end. Again, I think it's sad and disappointing how it ended. I try not to carry around any negativity because if you hold on to any negativity, it's ultimately going to affect you and what you're carrying around. So there's definitely no 'beef' on my end. If I saw him, I don't know what would happen or what I would say.
I'm always willing to have a discussion and was willing to [at the time of the fallout]. He had blocked my number like in early December. We had a few email exchanges but my number was blocked. I know Dizzy was trying to get him to talk to me and he refused to have a conversation. I honestly think eventually he will call me and I think it will be an apology. If he ever calls me, I think that's what it would be. But I don't know if he ever will get to that level of maturity. I don't know. But I don't know what else he could say outside of that. I'm not waiting on it."
Why No Funk Volume Members Moved On With Hopsin
"We probably reached 25% of our potential …" — Damien Ritter on Funk Volume being compared to TDE.
"I don't think anybody agreed with his tactics. There was a lot wrapped up into how he felt. I think that there were some things that the guys agreed with him and some changes that needed to be made in the label but there's nobody that agreed that I was stealing money or he should have went to the extent of dropping a diss song and throwing the entire label away, over me suggesting that he didn't work hard. There's nobody that would agree to that.
The Last Hurrah: Hopsin, Jarren Benton and Dizzy Wright took on SiriusXM Studios in August 2015
When I was suggesting that he 'didn't work hard,' Hopsin works tremendously hard when he's actually making music. His attention to detail to his music; when he's locked into his creativity, he works hours and hours. However, after that, is where we fall short. When I say 'he doesn't work hard,' I'm talking about missing flights on purpose to do PR for the albums he's putting out.
When we put out Pound Syndrome, we were supposed to have two days of PR in New York and he misses his flight on purpose because he doesn't like doing that stuff. So showing up not prepared, showing up late to meet and greets, not finishing videos that we've already invested tens of thousands of dollars in — not being prepared for live performances and walking off Revolt. And that was like the crucial week of his album.
Saying he doesn't work hard was putting it light. I didn't get a chance to blow up and really go in how I really wanted to go in because those things are really super frustrating when I'm working to set these things up and we have relationships with Warner Bros. So I need Hopsin's participation and when you don't show up with positive energy to get through those things, we're not taking advantages of those opportunities to promote your album. But I think he took it to heart in terms of making the music but that's a small percentage when it comes to being successful. We gotta promote, we gotta show love to the fans and that fell shorter than short. It was disappointing."
"iLL Mind of Hopsin 8" Was "Wack"
"It's embarrassing because obviously, I've worked in music for eight years," Ritter says of Hopsin's March 2016 diss video/song, while noting that there was never any lawsuit that accused him of "stealing money" like the song's lyrics pointed out.
"So when business school professors hit me asking 'What's wrong?' I'm like, 'why do you even know about this?' Am I going to make a song? He put out a song – a highly exaggerated, full-of-lies song and it looked cool and a big ordeal. Controversy sells and Hopsin definitely mastered that."
On The Notion That He Gambled With Hopsin's Money
In the lyrics of "iLL Mind of Hopsin 8," Hopsin spit the lyrics, "This nigga crazy, I'm telling all of my people/He taking all of my C-Notes/See he has a gambling issue/He takes the cash and blows it all at casinos."
Ritter broke it down saying, "Do I gamble? Yes. Do I spend more money on gambling than I should? My mother would tell you yes, too. But that has nothing to do with Funk Volume. I have never taken a dollar from Funk Volume. What I do with my money is what I do! I'm not going into Hopsin's bank accounts and being like, 'look what Hopsin is spending his money on.' I play cards!"
Stay tuned for Part 2 of HipHopDX's exclusive Damien Ritter Conversations next week.

This chapter contains a complete reference list of tables and fields in the i2b2 CDM, followed by a detailed description of each of the tables.
A spreadsheet describing all the tables and fields in the i2b2 CDM can be found at
It contains a row for each table and field. The columns "Data Type: MSSQL", "Data Type: Oracle", and "Data Type: Postgres" indicate the data type of the field in Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), Oracle, and Postgres, respectively. The "Primary Key" column indicates which fields are primary or foreign keys.
The "Core" column indicates the fields that are currently used by the i2b2 and tranSMART software and required to be available in any implementation of the i2b2 CDM. The "Admin" column indicates administrative fields that are used to indicate the source system for the data, when data were imported into the table, when the data were last updated, etc. These fields are not used by query or analysis features within the i2b2 or tranSMART software. However, some ETL tools for i2b2 and tranSMART use them. The "Future" column indicates fields that are intended to be used in future versions of i2b2 and tranSMART. Fields that are neither "Core", "Admin", nor "Future" are optional. They represent common types of data. For example, the "sex_cd" and "race_cd" fields in the PATIENT_DIMENSION table are often used to store the sex and race of the patient. However, these fields are not required, and the software does not specify what codes to use. The customizable ontology in i2b2 and tranSMART defines whether these fields are used, what codes are allowed, and what those codes mean.
Additional fields can be added to any of the tables in the i2b2 CDM. The ontology defines how they are used. Any field that is not a Core field can be removed. For large amounts of data (e.g., billions of observations), removing unused Core fields can save significant disk space. Additional dimension tables can also be created. Again, the ontology defines how these dimension tables link back to the OBSERVATION_FACT table.
The "Values" column indicates fields for which certain values are required. The "Description" column contains a brief description of the field. The "History" column indicates the first version of i2b2 that contained the column. Note that for backwards compatibility, no fields have ever been removed from i2b2. The "Notes" column contains additional information about certain fields.
Each of the i2b2 CDM tables have a set of administrative columns, which are primarily used by ETL processes. A description of these fields are at
Detailed descriptions of the OBSERVATION_FACT table is at
Descriptions of the five dimension tables are at
The relationships between these dimension tables and the fact table are described at
The i2b2 software uses two optional mapping tables, PATIENT_MAPPING and ENCOUNTER_MAPPING, which map the i2b2 patient_num and encounter_num to local codes, such as medical record numbers or encounter billing IDs. These tables are not part of the core i2b2 CDM, but they are used by many sites. Descriptions of these tables are at
i2b2 comes with a sample data set of 133 fake patients. This sample data is viewable as a set of Google Sheets at the following link:

This was an interesting way to prepare eggs Benedict, that got varied reviews from my guests, but averaged out to 4 stars. The sauce is very rich and quite different from the typical hollandaise sauce usually used. While it tasted good, I did not care for the color, which was a tan shade. Regarding the poaching of the eggs, I suggest that you undercook them, since they are later baked and could end up overcooked. I made them in varying degrees of doneness to accommodate the different tastes of my guests. I'm not sure why this has to sit overnight, though. The muffins ended up a little soggy on the bottom, probably from sitting in the sauce overnight. I think next time, I would forgo the corn flake topping. The texture was not really popular with anyone. However, I like the idea of the recipe, and will tweak it to my tastes next time. Thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR Tag Game.

When the Planto team asks our female users about what they are doing to achieve their life goals, 70% of our female respondents say
"I want to invest, but I don't know anything about finances!"
Multiple studies have also been done which reveal that women tend to be risk-averse when it comes to investing.
Ellevest, an investment platform for women, conducted a study which showed that 70% of assets controlled by women are left in cash and not invested.
According to Merrill Lynch, 41% of women wished they invested more of their money.
So ladies, what can we do to overcome our fear of investing and thrive financially?
With International Women's Day, let's take a look at the steps we can take to get in the driver's seat for our finances and make our money work for us!
Start Now!
Allocate a fixed part of your income to investments
Don't wait until there is "enough savings". Experts have advised using the 50/30/20 principal when allocating a budget.
You should keep your needs at 50% of your income, self-care at 30% and the remaining 20% should be a mix of savings and investments.
Start Simple!
Don't be scared by the complexity of investments, start simple.
Consider going for a low-risk time deposit to get a higher than normal returns from your savings account.
If you want to try investing in the market, go for a robo-advisor like 8 Securities or Aqumon. They can manage your portfolio at a fraction of the cost of a human advisor. These services still have a personalized touch to it as the portfolio is constructed based on your risk appetite and time horizon.
But if you prefer having a human guide you, there are a lot of financial advisors out there to choose from.
On a side note, although not really an investment option in a traditional sense, if you have an MPF, you've technically started investing already!
Understanding your MPF portfolio(s) and their performances is a great way for you to adopt some investment skills. It is also incredibly important for you to manage it well because of the impact it has on your retirement!
Tame your fears and be confident
Sometimes, we get caught up about what other people say about what is the right strategy and doubt ourselves. However, the truth is women are better at investing than men and can do well following their instincts.
Alpha males may rule Wall Street but women quietly achieve better results.
Due to the cautious nature of women, our tendencies to look for long term stability and our practice of seeking advice from professionals when needed has led us to be better investors.
Men, on the other hand, tend to be overconfident about their decisions and more likely to actively trade stocks which leads to over-trading which dilutes performance.
According to a study by Fidelity, women outperform men in investing by 0.4%. At first glance, this may appear to be a minor difference but can have a long term impact given women also save more than men.
Join ladies who have the same goals
Support systems are important. Find like-minded people who you can share your goals, challenges and concerns!
If you are interested in finding a place to get holistic financial education, Heels and Yield is the perfect place for you.
If you are looking into investing with a social impact, try Moxie Future.
The New Savvy is also a great place if you want to gather with women to and share thoughts and advice on how to manage finances better.
There are many other organizations in Hong Kong that are focused on female financial empowerment and they frequently hold events to gather, especially during International Women's Month!
So what are you waiting for? Do your research, trust your gut, and get started. When you see how much your savings can grow, you'll regret not starting earlier.
Investing is less intimidating than you think – Happy International Women's Day!

Argentina: Central Bank introduces a floor on LELIQ rate to curb inflation
At its latest meeting held on 1 April, the Central Bank of Argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina, BCRA) introduced a floor for the LELIQ rate during April, in order to intensify its fight against inflation. At the same time, the BCRA stated it overachieved the 0% monetary base growth target in March and that it will maintain its current stance on monetary base until the end of the year.
Higher-than-expected inflation in January and February, as well as concerns about strong price pressures in March and April, led the Central Bank to tighten its monetary policy strategy. The Bank therefore introduced a floor for the LELIQ rate during April, set at 62.5%. The BCRA consequently announced it will absorb the necessary liquidity in order to support the newly-introduced minimum rate, at the same time leaving the LELIQ rate free to move above the floor. The decision aims to drain liquidity, limit potential depreciations in the peso and thus to bring inflation down.
Starting 1 October, as stipulated in the standby agreement with the IMF, the Bank adopted a rigid monetary rule which sets a 0% monthly growth for the monetary base. As part of the agreement, the Central Bank also adopted an FX regime, which combines a free-floating range for the peso with the prevention of excessive ARS/USD fluctuations. As the Bank will continue to limit growth in the monetary base and intervene in the FX market, inflation should subsequently moderate and LELIQ interest rates will edge down. Panelists participating in the LatinFocus Consensus Forecast seeing the LELIQ rate ending 2019 at 37.33% and 2020 at 25.97%.

A new study has determined that female soccer players in the United States have the highest rate of concussions among nine sports including football, but also that female athletes had much higher concussion rates compared to males in the same sports, according to its author Dr. Wellington Hsu, a professor of orthopedics at Chicago's Northwestern University.
So what's causing the concussions in girls' soccer games? The study cited three specific reasons: "heading" the ball, a lack of protective gear, and an emphasis on contact during the game. In fact, girl soccer players suffered 4.50 concussions per 10,000 athlete exposures, according to a separate 2015 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics.
Roughly 300,000 teenagers who participate in high school sports in the United States are diagnosed with concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Related: High School Football Players Say Concussions Won't Sideline Them
According to the news release by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, this new study analyzed data compiled between 2005 and 2015 based on 41,000 injuries sustained by athletes in nine high school sports. The sports included in the study included boys baseball, basketball, football, soccer and wrestling. The girls sports studied were softball, basketball, soccer and volleyball.
Specifically, the study found that concussion rates were higher for girls' soccer than in boys' football over the five-year-period between 2010 and 2015.
Additionally, the concussion rate in girls' soccer was far more common than any other sport observed in the study in the 2014-2015 school calendar year.
Another finding by the study was that participation in these sports went up 1.04-fold, while concussions were diagnosed to rise 2.2-fold.
The findings will hopefully lead to police changes and prevention measures that will make the sports safer for these young people and ultimately reduce the number of concussions.
The study's findings, considered to be preliminary research until published in a peer-reviewed journal, were presented this week at a meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in San Diego.
Common Signs, Symptoms of Concussion
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Difficulty remembering
- Sensitivity to light/sound
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling in a fog
- Difficulty with academics/focus
Causes of Concussion
Liability for Concussions

Building on what has been achieved so far, the government and the private sector have committed to working together to solve the challenges in ensuring all garment factories pay their workers digitally.
The decision came from the Bangladesh Digital Wages Summit, which convened on 20 November in Dhaka. The summit was jointly held by the Access to Information (a2i) Programme of the ICT Division, supported by the Cabinet Division, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance. The summit was also co-organized by Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).
The summit started with an opening panel discussion named "Scaling digital wages for employees and manufacturers". Key panelists included Minister for the Ministry of Industries Mr. Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, MP; State Minister for ICT Division Mr. Zunaid Ahmed Palak, MP; The Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank Mr. Ahmed Jamal; President of BGMEA Dr. Rubana Huq; Managing Director of the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance Dr. Ruth Goodwin-Groen; Resident Representative of UNDP Mr. Sudipto Mukerjee; ILO Country Director and UN Representative Mr. Tuomo Poutiainen; and the Bangladesh Country Manager for Marks & Spencer Ms. Shwapna Bhowmick, The opening panel discussion was moderated by the Policy Advisor of a2i, Mr. Anir Chowdhury.
Minister for Ministry of Industries Mr. Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun MP, said, "There has already been a huge change in the garment sector in terms of payment of salaries. The Bangladesh Bank, in coordination with related industries, has greatly contributed to this change. At this point, it is necessary to raise the financial literacy of the garment workers to implement the payment system. In the case of digital payment, we at the Ministry of Industries are open to providing any sort of help to both public and private entities and all other stakeholders. We want our Honorable Prime Minister's 'Digital Bangladesh' dream to come true and without a Digital Financial Ecosystem, that will not be possible."
In this context, the Minister sought the cooperation of all stakeholders in the implementation of digital payment.
State Minister for Information & Communication Technology Division Mr Zunaid Ahmed Palak MP, said, "We are using our various services to test and coordinate innovative solutions for payment digitization aimed at empowering garment workers, especially women. The Government is working on 3 important areas to digitize public and private services – Verifiable Digital ID, Digital Payment Platform and Interoperable Framework."
Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank Ahmed Jamal said, "Bangladesh Bank is already giving full support to build a Digital Financial Ecosystem. We are ready to commit to provide any sort of help to commercial banks and Financial Service Providers to cooperate and help build a digital financial ecosystem."
President of the Bangladesh Garments Manufacturer's and Exporter's Association (BGMEA) Rubana Huq said, "Incorporating all the digital initiatives in one platform will help the workers to take steps for financial and social development. We hope that by 2021, 90% of the workforce will receive their wages through digital payment."
Managing Director of the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance, Dr. Ruth Goodwin-Groen said, "We are committing to help bring together the key public and private sector stakeholders who can take wage digitization in Bangladesh to the next level."
Director of BSR's HERproject Christine Svarer, said, "We are committed to continuing to support the garment sector to digitize responsibly through HERproject. By doing this, we will ensure that workers, especially women, have the skills and knowledge to benefit from the transition to digitizing and that factories are supported during the process."
Regional Sustainability Manager of H&M Kiran Gokathothi, said: "We will continue to support industry collaboration for scaling digital wages in Bangladesh. The move from cash to digital payments will help to empower the garment workers, especially women, who represent the majority of the workforce."
Inditex: "Under the framework of our Workers at the Centre strategy, we will continue working along with other industry stakeholders to support wage digitization in the supply chain, including in Bangladesh, to foster workers financial empowerment."
Senior Program Manager of Bangladesh Gap Inc. Tamanna Sarwar, said : "We set a goal all of our Tier 1 suppliers globally to transition from a cash-based wage-payment system to a digital wage payment system by 2020 and, to date, 80 percent of our suppliers are now using digital wage payments. Through this effort, workers will gain greater control over their finances and offer a safer way to save, spend and invest their money. Digital wages will also help increase accountability and transparency across the garment sector"
Bangladesh Country Manager of Marks & Spencer Shwapna Bhowmick, said : "Along with all constituents of the garment industry, we will continue to contribute to the digital wages working group and will share the experiences of leading suppliers who have already digitized wages."
The summit discussed issues faced in making cash payments for both the garment employees and manufacturers, and how digital payments are beneficial for both parties, in terms of security, efficiency, empowerment and independence. Shifting to digital payments benefits both employers and employees, while promoting stronger business relationships. When payroll got digitized, garment factories recorded a 53% savings in staff time for their admin and finance teams. Wage digitization also improved the likelihood of women to participate in household decisions related to spending and savings by 15%. However, to realize these positive impacts, it is vital to ensure responsible wage digitization, considering the needs of women, who represent the majority of the garment workers in Bangladesh.
The high-level gathering was held to:
- Bring together key decision-makers and industry stakeholders, including the government, global buyers, manufacturers, industry associations and financial service providers to support the scale of digital wages in Bangladesh.
- Share lessons learned, tools and best practices from experts in Bangladesh to support future digitization commitments.
- Secure commitments from key stakeholders to work collaboratively to scale wage digitization across the garment sector in Bangladesh
Three different panel discussions were organized at the summit. The first discussion, "Benefits of digitizing responsibly: The business case and impact on women workers" was moderated by Bangladesh Representative for HER Project at BSR Smita Nilimita. Panelists for this session included, ICT Ministry adviser Tina Jabeen, HR Professional of Standard Group Ahsanuzzaman, Chief People Officer of SQ Group Warisul Abid, Finishing Department member of Jamuna Denims Ltd. Mrs. Nargis Akter, Senior Sewing Operator of Jamuna Denims Ltd. Sumaiya Akter, and Regional Sustainability Manager of H&M Bangladesh, Mr. Kiran Gokathothi.
The second discussion, "The importance of an inclusive digital ecosystem for scaling up wage digitization" was moderated by Senior Program Officer at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Maria May. Panelists included General Manager of Payment System Department of Bangladesh Bank Md. Mezbaul Haque, Managing Director of DBBL Abul Kashem Md.Shirin, Senior Program Manager Bangladesh of Gap Inc. Ms. Tamanna Sarwar, CEO of bKash Kamal Quadir and Managing Director of Bank Asia Limited Arfan Ali.
The final discussion, "The road map to scale-up digitization of wages: The role of stakeholders" was moderated by Policy Adviser of a2i Anir Chowdhury alongside Asia Pacific Lead Keyzom Ngodup Massally and Marjolaine Chaintreau, Private Sector Lead, both from the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance.
Participants of the summit included high-level officials from the government, donor agencies, international NGOs, representatives from the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector and media personnel.

Children's Review: Peter Pukeko Colours His Day
We received this book to give an honest review.
A and I read this book and I think it sends a great message to use your imagination especially when it is rainy. I always tell my kids that when it is rainy you have to find something to do you have toys and other fun things. So for me this book being read to A was great. She is at the age we are learning colors and using our imagination more. I enjoyed having A point out the colors that Peter Pukeko was looking for and then trying to get her to say the right color.
I think children ages 2 to maybe 4 or 5 will enjoy this book it is short and the words are easy to read.
The only reason I gave this book a four is because Peter Pukeko the bird kind of freaked A out.

Ethnos Review
By MARK WILSON
Year Published: 2017
Players: 2-6
Playing Time: 45-60 Minutes
Ethnos burst onto the scene with some fanfare, in large part due to some glowing reviews from prominent sources. In the years since, its popularity seems to have waned, as is the fate of so many games in our saturated market.
Still, Ethnos remains well-regarded, and worth revisiting for fans of set collection and area control.
Ethnos Gameplay
To be clear, Ethnos is a set collection game that masquerades as area control. Which isn't to say there aren't interesting, antagonistic decisions to be made at times, but this is about as benign as you'll see a game be that can still technically call itself an area control game.
In each of its three rounds, you'll be drafting cards, either face-up public cards, or blindly from the draw deck. You play sets of a couple different varieties, gin rummy style, to place your tokens in one of the game's six areas. But the rub is that when you play a set, all of your other cards must be discarded to the face-up draw area.
The other twist is that each set has a "lead," represented by one of the game's many fantasy races. Each race has a power, and the powers let you manipulate events. One race, for example, allows you to immediately play a second set, circumventing the restriction above.
Within that framework, you vie for control over the six areas, as well as ancillary benefits tied to various race powers.
Style and Substance in Ethnos
One thing Ethnos is not, is flashy. The board is workmanlike in every sense of the word, and includes no frills.
I'm someone who loves a good map, and prefers good board/map art to many fanciful components or stylized card art. So it's saying something that Ethnos's board bores me.
The card art is marginally better, though the board doesn't set a high bar to clear. Still, this is a game whose merits lie in its gameplay.
We're in an age where games usually need to differentiate themselves in multiple arenas to stand point. There are exceptions with this in regard to presentation. The best example I can think of is Tigris & Euphrates, a game with almost laughably minimal art, but where the gameplay is so unique, focused and compelling that I find myself not caring.
Does Ethnos enter the same territory? Let's find out.
Decision Points & Tension
I think one of the best things a game can be is tense throughout. If your decisions, and the decisions of others, all carry weight for your plans, this is excellent news.
So it's probably the highest compliment I'll give the game in this review to say that Ethnos is uniformly tense. There will be a card that you really want, available in the public draw options. But there are two players yet to play before your next turn. Will the card be available on your turn?! This will happen approximately any time there are more than a couple cards available to draft.
The same goes for your own draws. The more you pull into your hand, the better chance you have of a very impactful set, which will net a lot of points. The downside is that, the more cards you have, the more likely you'll be to have to discard many of them when you play your next set.
This balance, and tension, is almost the entirety of the game's appeal in my mind.
Variety & Depth
It would be tempting to say that the race powers – which are variable based on game setup – are one of the game's draws. And they certainly are. Mixing and matching to create new variations on the same gameplay is a boon for nearly any game. So it is with Ethnos.
However, the possibilities to chain them together remain somewhat limited. MTG this is not. It adds to the complexity of decisions in minor ways, but you'll rarely be looking at 2-3 equally good options in your hand, or multiple different ways they could be combined.
In that way, it's almost a push your luck game as much as a hand management one. "I could get a disk down for 6 points, or draw for the possibility of 10, but I'd need a Centaur, Dwarf or a Blue-colored card for the draw to be worth it. Do I do it…?" Those are the questions you'll face more often, rather than how to combine the 6 cards in your hand the best way. They may offer some possibilities, but often a "best" option will be evident.
The often blind card draws also inject more randomness than some will appreciate. I found that the central strategic tension of pressing your luck was always present even through the blind draws, but there's certainly awesome and useless cards that will play a role in the outcome.
Length, Player Count & Satisfaction
So far I'd call this a fine enough game, but nothing hugely special. However, I think there's one more positive trait that will justify its inclusion in many collections:
It holds six. And it plays breezily even at its maximum player count.
How many games strain under the weight of 5-6 players, thus making them "best" at 3-4P? A lot of them. Not so, here.
The game time is listed at 45-60 minutes and…that's about right, which is a rarity in the hobby, which is filled with false promises of hour-long games that really take 2+ at anything close to max players. If you're teaching, at max players, and accounting for setup/teardown, you may slip over an hour, but not by much.
So there's an informal calculation in my head for games that, roughly, is "Satisfaction / Time." That is, satisfaction divided by time.
It's not an exact science. I can't say that Ethnos is "two units" of satisfaction or whatever. But what I can say is that, relative to its play time, I always feel like it's been worthwhile. At two hours, it would undoubtedly overstay its welcome and become repetitive. At 30 minutes, it wouldn't have enough narrative heft. But like Goldilocks's third try, it manages to be "just right."
So it works by staying bounded. In a too-often "more is more" hobby, a game with merely ok art that plays in an hour and has a minimal rule set to learn is something of an outlier. But it's not an unwelcome one. To bring back the earlier comparison, it's not as good as Tigris & Euphrates, but it does indeed borrow a few conceptual nuggets from that game in how it focuses on the substance of its gameplay over theme or mechanical complexity.
So is all of that enough to warrant a purchase? I don't know. There are so many great games out there, that even one that is a solid entry into an underserved niche might only be worth passing consideration. I think it's a strong recommendation for those who struggle for quality options at 6P. For me, Ethnos will go into the "happy to play, wouldn't own" category. It satisfies, but doesn't necessarily excite me. That's not a terrible place to be, though, and I think it can fill a niche and scratch an itch for some gamers that may be currently unfulfilled.

As a part of our Tutor time challenges, we have been doing some exciting projects every month. This month's challenge was – Dream School, in this project, students had to design their dream school. The timing couldn't have been better because Presidency in fact is in the process of designing a new High School campus.
Students from Class 7 to 10 presented their Dream School in the form of charts and PowerPoint with lot of creativity and excitement. Dheeraj from Class 8 said, "The challenge is very interesting. I designed the playground and classroom which has space to have separate space to walk in the class whenever students feel bore. My friend designed the science lab where we there we can have access to internet and materials for doing various experiments. In this challenge we can show our ideas about how to make a school in a more interesting way".
"We have included a separate walk area inside the class so it can refresh us!. Our staff room design will be very helpful for teachers to have productive meetings through subject wise meetings tables" Class 7 Flamingoes explained.
We were thrilled to see ideas from students and will definitely be using some of these in our New campus.

Though we have already built a strong relationship with them and spent several hundreds of bucks for customization and maintenance, at some point, we just have to say goodbye to our old Macs and upgrade to the most recent version. To cope with the heartbreak, some of us prefer to donate them to worthy individuals or organizations, while others just want to dispose of their Mac laptop.
Just in case you belong to the latter group, we want to teach you a few important things to do before you go dispose of it. Note that your Mac contains a lot of your personal details and is connected to several applications. If you just dispose of it like a paper thrown in a bin, it's likely that you are also throwing away your personal information and letting others use them. That is not what you want to happen. Now, before you dispose of old Mac away, here are some things you should do.
1. Back it up.
Before you go over the next few steps, start backing up your Mac because it will definitely take time. Copy all files you have. If possible, clone your machine's drive. By doing that, you can easily and conveniently start using your upgraded Mac. No need to download and reinstall apps you've been using in your old Mac All settings from your old Mac will be saved and recovered if you clone your drive.
2. Sign out of your iCloud account.
Once you have successfully backed up your files, it's time to sign out of your iCloud account. Simply go to System Preferences -> iCloud, then click the Sign Out button. If your Find My Mac is enabled, you need to switch it off as well.
Pro Tip: Scan your Mac for performance issues, junk files, harmful apps, and security threats
that can cause system issues or slow performance.
Special offer. About Outbyte, uninstall instructions, EULA, Privacy Policy.
3. Sign out of iMessages.
Aside from iCloud, there is another account you have to sign out of iMessages. To do this, head over to Messages -> Preferences -> Accounts. Select iMessages. Next, click the Sign Out button.
4. Delete everything on your drive.
After you have backed up your files and signed out of all your accounts, it is now safe to erase the contents of your Mac's drive. Do not just delete them. If you do that, anyone who uses a disk recovery tool or software can still recover your files. Here is what you should do:
- Go to Applications -> Utilities.
- From the list of available drives shown on the screen, select the hard drive you want to erase.
- Click the Erase
- You will then be asked to name the drive once deletion is completed. You will also be asked how you want to format it. Although you can use the default settings, you can always rename it as you please.
- Click the Security Options Another window should pop up asking how thoroughly you want to delete the drive. Of course, the default option is the fastest way to delete the drive. But, be careful because some data recovery tools might still be able to retrieve the deleted files. To securely erase your drive's data, adjust the slider and check what each security option offers.
5. Ensure your machine is running smoothly and efficiently.
If you're considering passing on your functional Mac laptop to someone else, ensure it's running smoothly. Tools like Outbyte macAries can scan for issues and remove unnecessary files. Confirm that this tool is appropriate for your situation before using it.
6. Clean your Mac.
Of course, you don't just take care of your Mac's software. You have to clean up its physical parts, too! Just because you are disposing of your Mac does not mean you leave it dirty and dusty. Get a microfiber cloth, dampen it with water, and clean your Mac one last time. Wipe the screen and vacuum the keyboard. At least, it gets cleaned before disposal.
7. Put it back in its box.
Did you keep the original packaging of your Mac, didn't you? If you did, you can quickly dispose of Mac laptop. Put everything back together. Wrap it in whatever packaging it came with when you first got sit. And finally, put it back into the box. Well, if the box is no longer with you, just make sure you package your machine properly. After that, take it to the nearest recycling center. Failure to dispose of electronic devices properly can harm the environment as they contain toxic substances such as mercury, lead, and hexavalent chromium.
In Conclusion
Since you are already equipped with the right knowledge on how to dispose of your Mac laptop securely and properly, you can welcome your new Mac into your home and set it up for work!
Are there any important steps we missed? Let us know. Share them below!

Rockhampton Airport plane spotters Don W and 'IAD' love a good investigation, and the recent arrival of Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Beech B200 King Air VH-FFI, and had both hot on the chase of this rare visitor to the beef city.
VH-FFI - which is possibly the oldest King Air in the RFDS fleet - touched down at Rockhampton Airport on Monday 18 March as "FlyDoc 469" from its base at Mount Isa. VH-FFI is in fact an 'operational spare', however by all accounts it has been well utilised in recent months particularly in North-Western Queensland.
VH-FFI was registered as VH-FDI, however had its registration markings changed to accommodate the new Rockhampton-based Hawker Beechcraft B200 King Air VH-FDI ("FlyDoc 467") - pictured below.
VH-FFI was spotted this week tucked away in the back of the RFDS hangar at Rockhampton Airport - and we thank the RFDS staff for the opportunity to grab a quick photo.
As can be seen VH-FFI is undergoing maintenance while in Rockhampton. Being of the same vintage as once sister-ship VH-FDO, which was sold last year and exported to the United States of America (USA) for spares. It can be perhaps speculated that VH-FFI might be heading down the same path.
Meanwhile, 'IAD' has spotted no less than five different RFDS King Airs passing through Rockhampton Airport as various time this week. The Rockhampton base is certainly a busy one, as with the rumoured expansion works being undertaken on the General Aviation side of Rockhampton Airport, it looks like the base might become busier still!

After more than two decades, Beat the Press has been cancelled. Regular participant Dan Kennedy provides an update.
The Globe's story on what the 2021 census numbers mean for Boston offers lots of anecdotes, off the cuff speculation and extrapolation but not much valid insight. You would be better served with this (albeit not fully updated) dataset. Or this from the Washington Post. Just type in Boston, MA.
Anticipation is a fun. The Dutch know it. They have a word for it: voorpret. Amazon knows it too. That's why they have the Track Package button.
Everyone is familiar with GPS, the US government system of satellites for location and navigation. Most people don't know that there are other systems. The EU has Galileo. China has BeiDou. Japan has QZSS and Russia has GLONASS. Which one is better? Who cares. You can use them all at the same time, as Nikon is doing with its new cameras set to use GNSS, the Global Navigation Satellite System. Maybe others will follow suit.
And we have a new Pope. Two, actually.

Mcdougal lays bare every one of the urban myths surrounding alternative energy, and that means that you never have to be a scientist to even know exactly how it works. He describes why alternative-energy will not produce as much contamination as conventional energy," however it can produce carbon dioxide compared to normal power resources.
"Naked Science," by Michael Shellenberger, is really just a speedy and easy explanation of how power is created, what it is and how it functions . Mcdougal puts bare all the myths enclosing alternative energy, and therefore you do not need to become a scientist to even grasp how it works.
He describes why alternative energy will not produce the maximum amount of contamination as conventional energy," but it will produce carbon dioxide dioxide compared to traditional electricity resources. He points out why alternative energy will not produce the maximum amount of pollution as traditional energy," but why it does produce carbon dioxide dioxide compared to conventional energy sources.
"bare Science: An Unconventional Guide to alternative-energy" additionally comprises a range of other intriguing reasons for having power, such as the great things about solar power, nuclear power as well as also different techniques of producing energy with out using fossil fuels. He explains how renewable energy is created in nature, including the end capacity in the atmosphere, and the way it's used now. He goes as far as to describe the different types of energy, such as geothermal, water and wind, and energy from the sun. It's truly intriguing things, and also the author does a wonderful job outlining what he writes.
I particularly liked the area oil costs and petroleum spills. Like I've written about elsewhere, the United States includes a very poor history when it regards oil spills. Michael Shellenberger https://e60.5post.com/forums/member.php?u=517369 describes https://www.tsstuff.net/2018/12/mother-teresa-by-isabel-sanchez-vegara.html?showComment=1556994931866 the way the price of oil affects states, and also how the amount of petroleum has an effect on the American economy.
The publication also happens about the various political issues surrounding other energy and the way in which they have an effect on the maturation of different energy. In addition, he clarifies how politics may impact technology development. In certain instances, he points out why technological innovation in some specific areas might be controlled by both authorities, instead of by the people sector.
The book could http://awblog.segye.com/icykarl/8722 appeal to a broad range of subscribers, but that I did find it isn't entirely easy. And that the author doesn't fully deal with fact alternative energy does not produce the exact same level of contamination as energy.
Overall,"Naked Science: An Integral Guide to alternative-energy" is really a superb publication that enters https://semuels22322.blogspot.com/2019/02/he-right-place-to-get-help.html?showComment=1574764290856 a number of these issues surrounding alternative energy. It offers a speedy and easy explanation of why alternative energy is not always as bad as https://www.tested.com/forums/games/907855-trying-to-decide-on-a-switch-rpg-to-play/ folks make it out to be. The publication is definitely a very good read, and you'll feel prompted to begin researching alternative-energy once you finish reading . You may get the book online for quite a reasonable price, also you won't regret it.
This book may not be for all those. It isn't the kind of book that is going to modify your own life. But if you should be looking for a very good introduction to different energy along with the several uses of it, this book is well worth a read.
The author has done a lot to increase his previous publication,"The Energy Secret." This is far more up to date and insightful . He has a summary of the means by which the planet functions, the foundation of vitality, and by what method the planet works now. The author also offers tips for keeping energy.
This book is definitely some thing that's worth reading. It is well written, very well researched, and certainly will interest anybody thinking about other energy.
I gave the book a very fantastic rating because it was fascinating to see, and I expect the reader review is going to be enjoyable to you too. Superior luck with your search.

Viggo Mortensen expatiated recently on a film he is acting in with Kirsten Dunst titled The Two Faces of January.
Viggo Mortensen expatiates on "The Two Faces of January"
The two are regular sidekicks that have a lot of common background between them. And they starred in three-series films. And while Viggo is from The Big Apple, Kirsten Dunst was born in Point Pleasant.
Viggo was in The Lord of the Rings while Kirsten was in Spider Man. The two also have something else that they share. And that is that they don't go for the tried-and-tested formulas of Hollywood sex and violence fare. No.
They rather prefer artistic and more complex films that have some substance to them and make you think rather than leaving the theater feeling empty-headed. Viggo has done "Eastern Promises" while Dunst has tried her hand at "Melancholia".
And while they have appeared in "On the Road" before (which is a biopic about Jack Kerouac's life) now they will be teaming up for "The Two Faces of January".
The movie is based on a novel by the same writer who penned "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and it will indeed give the audience members food for thought. It is currently being played in theaters all over the country.
According to Viggo, he was just in a state of drift when he chanced upon the script for the movie. And he liked what he saw and decided to give it a go. Serendipity is the name of the game for this actor.
Viggo further pointed out that although it might seem self-centered to many it was his style that he chose his artworks in the movie world based on his personal preferences. And by choosing these favorite movies of his he then went ahead and acted in them with passion and perseverance.
Viggo and Dunst are shown as an American couple that goes sightseeing in Athens in the 60s. They chance upon a tour guide. Viggo commended Dunst as an A-one actress that was pretty and lent a certain aura to whichever movie she worked in.
She was a very talented and true-to-life screen siren to boot. He enjoyed working with her. Viggo said that the quality of the script for this movie was that it revealed everything about the characters via their idiosyncrasies and flaws.
By means of their foibles and weaknesses you discover that they are imperfect and human-all-too-human specimens of the race. It is a noir thriller of a movie and you see a lot of depth psychology in the characterization.

Serious Request is an annual fundraiser of 3FM (one of Netherland's largest public radio stations) to collect money for Red Cross initiatives. In order to help people promote their own, individual action, we created the 3FM Kom In Actie app. This app enables user to create and share a personal video for their fundraiser.
Anybody can set up their own fundraiser project for Serious Request. However, the main question was how to get it promoted. To solve this problem, we developed a personal video-app that lets individual fundraisers create a good looking, personal, easy to make and easy to share video.
During the creative process famous 3FM DJ's help the user step-by-step. The app (with the DJ as personal assistant) records name, a short description of the fundraiser and ends with a big "THANK YOU!â€. After recording these short pieces of video the app automatically (within seconds) renders a pre-edited video, in which participants feature together with their DJ of choice. The result is always nice to see and perfect for sharing (15 sec. video).
In just two weeks time, over 12.000 apps were downloaded during the event to promote 5.000 individual fundraising projects. In this way it contributed significantly to 3FM Serious Request raising over 12.000.000 euro for female war victims.

Air Force Veteran turned Entrepreneur Graciela Tiscareño Named Finalist to Pitch at Entrepreneurship Summit on June 30thPitch Focus at Inaugural Veteran and Military Spouse Entrepreneurship Freedom Summit in Rocklin will be "Authentic Personal Branding for Military Veterans" – a NEW Online Class to Help Transitioning Service Members, Vets & MilSpouses Think like Marketers and Differentiate Their Value
"After serving as judge and keynote speaker at multiple pitch competitions at entrepreneurship events for high school and colleges students, I'm thrilled to step onto the stage as a pitch competitor and am grateful to Freedom Summit founders for the opportunity," The pitch video entered into the competition describes how Ms. Tiscareño and her team are planning on scaling this growing woman-veteran- At the Summit hosted by Sierra College on Saturday, Gracefully Global Group will formally unveil the brand new Authentic Personal Branding for Military Veterans offering now available here. This is a unique three-module, on-demand class to help transitioning service members and veterans create powerful personal brands that help to differentiate each one as the MUST-HAVE candidate. The new course is modeled after the highly-interactive workshop the company founder has facilitated for many student veterans at colleges and universities coast-to-coast for five years. Mitch Craddock served as President of the Texas A&M Veterans Association and attended her 2017 workshop in College Station. He said, "The Authentic Personal Branding seminar led by Ms. Tiscareño was absolutely instrumental to helping our veterans understand their real value! Far too often do service men and women leave the military not fully understating their true impact and how their individual contributions made a difference. They mask the very characteristics that enabled them to go above and beyond for their country behind their own humility and selflessness, and as a result, miss out on many opportunities. Graciela's seminar was unique in that it addressed this problem directly and instituted a personalized solution for each individual in attendance. She utilized her own knowledge and military experience to personally connect with every veteran in the room and approached each situation as if it were her own. Using expert communication skills, Graciela assisted each individual with breaking down their own history, putting it in perspective, and aligning it toward their future goals. Graciela helped a room of veterans self-actualize their own worth, while also equipping them with the communication skills they need to demonstrate that worth and accomplish their goals. Graciela's Seminar was a valuable experience, one that every transitioning veteran should have." Many more testimonials are here. Ms. Tiscareño left active duty aviation service after completing her master degree in international management and global marketing. She's held marketing management positions in the telecom and renewable energy sectors where she led all aspects of product branding, strategic marketing and launch execution, before creating her own content development and publishing firm seven years ago. Unlike other content for this community that tends to focus too much on resume creation and jargon translation, THIS course is about the art of creating compelling language through storytelling to attract the desired audiences' attention so that they're begging to know more about the veteran. Also unlike other courses, this online class focuses on each student veteran's unique experiences to create a distinct brand. Plus, unlike other courses on this topic, this one was created by a veteran who brings both first-hand knowledge of the often-painful military-to- Ms. Tiscareño envisions this content being eventually adopted into the existing Department of Labor Transition Assistance Program that service members participate in before leaving active duty service. Many veterans in Ms. Tiscareño's workshops have stated that this critical content is missing from TAP and would like to see curriculum focus more on these types of skills and less on how to look up DOL labor statistics. The founder is actively seeking TAP program developers, consultants and partners to explore synergies and get this content into TAP to benefit service members before they exit. For her servant heart and dedication to social entrepreneurship, Ms. Tiscareño has been recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives by her Congressman, Eric Swalwell, and by the Obama White House as a White House Champion of Change Woman Veteran Leader. Military institutions, universities and Veteran-Serving Organizations wishing to host Ms. Tiscareño for a live interactive Authentic Personal Branding workshop to serve veteran communities should inquire at (510) 542-9449.

7th Sea Preview Part One: Deploy the Swoon!
Game by John Wick Presents
The In-Fighters were making characters for Dungeon World when the news pinged up on my phone. There was imminently going to be a Kickstarter for the new edition of the 7th Sea role-playing game. All play stopped while the half of the group obsessed with 7th Sea (Jacob, Josh and myself) regaled the poor other half (Lee, Ash, Vinnie) with tales of derring do from the fictional world of Theah.
7th Sea's previous edition was around fifteen years or so ago. It was about as crunchy as I'm willing to get these days, a traditional RPG designed by game writer and action movie character John Wick. He's a Discordian and a man who's created several large and small RPGs in the years since leaving 7th Sea in the hands of Alderac Entertainment Group. He bought back the rights last year and with around a fortnight to go, it's already the number one backed RPG Kickstarter. That's something big.
7th Sea takes place in an alternate Europe and seeks to replicate stories like Three Musketeers, Princess Bride, Zorro and so on. The nations all have different styles of rulership, swordsman schools, magicians and mysteries. This was an RPG series back when splatbooks were at their height. Splat in this instance being faction, race, class-based books. In 7th Sea there were nation and secret society-based books to help drive up knowledge and rules based around aspects of Theah. People would get invested in their favourite countries (Vodacce, the alternate Italy, is my favourite if only because I learnt a fencing style which has its' own alt-version in the book). The world was interesting enough as it is, but then the magic was fascinating. There were suits of armour forged from metal which apparently was actually the bones of a dragon. Montaigne (French) magicians could use their blood to tear open reality and teleport objects through… those portals scream though and you want to close your eyes if you go through them. The Vodacce have fate witches who can manipulate the strands of the future, the Castillians (Spanish) DO NOT HAVE MAGIC. No. Nope. Do not ask questions about Castille magicians. And there's a faction which on the TVTropes page of 7th Sea is entirely blocked out as spoilers. So there's a lot of world-building, a lot of intrigue and more setting than you could fit an adventurer's career in. And now it's back in what the author claims is a, "Battlestar Galactica" style reboot. The nations are mostly the same but there's the Samartian Commonwealth (Poland) and with so many stretch goals hit the new edition promises to go to The New World as well as a lot of the rest of the world. Goals have included high-quality maps, sites to set adventures in as separate releases, an NPC book & deck of cards… even a soundtrack.
Jacob and I have both already got campaign ideas for a game we'll co-run for the group, switching who will run the game for each chapter in the storyline. I don't know if the In-Fighters all know this, but they should probably be afraid.
A quickstart game has been released as a 'trailer' for 7th Sea. This is a phenomenon a lot of role-playing games do to give people a taste-test of what to expect from a game. Given recent events in my own life, Jacob took the reins and ran the game. Here's my account of the first half but first a few caveats: The system is a work in progress and there has been an overhauled version of the conflict-resolution released a day or two after we played this. When we do part two, it'll be with those updates. Even then, the rules are not going to be the final version. I feel that tone is the main thing here, so while I'll detail the rules, it's the sense of what this game is and the kind of stories which you'll experience which will be the main take-away from the report. This is all from me as a player, so I'm not entirely sure what went on behind the scenes of this adventure.
"Niech Żyje Książę!"
("Long Live the Prince!")
Prince Alexsy Gracjan Nowak (played by Vinnie) is a giant of a man both physically and politically. Where the Samartian Commonwealth is a politically-landlocked democracy of nobles, Prince Alexsy plans on using his powers to make all people of the Commonwealth a noble, thus creating the first proper democracy in Theah. A brilliant, insane plan which of course has detractors. I played his fiancee, Domenica Vespucci. She was a Vodacce fate witch known for her resourcefulness and cunning. Domenica brought her brother, Ennio (played by Ash), along. Ennio's a brash duellist, good for a show of force. His counterpart is the "bodyguard", Azucena Esquivel (played by Josh) who totally isn't an assassin, doesn't have abilities to steal from people or poison people. Nope. Finally, there's Captain Roberto Gallo (played by Lee) who is a legit businessman and not a pirate.
This 'trailer' began with a cutscene showing the situation above, culminating with us all fleeing the coup against Prince Aleksy, stuck in his palace which has been put to the torch. We were in a burning bedroom, aware that there's a servant's passage nearby which will lead to a study we could escape from.
The prince ripped up some sheets to make masks to prevent smoke inhalation and we ran through the burning hallway. With this sort of situation, we all decided what actions we were doing and the skills to use. Domenica wasn't good at running, so I decided to let my brother carry me and I'd use my fortune telling powers to get flashes of where he should avoid.
The system goes as follows:
You grab an amount of d10's equal to your trait and skill, also plus one if it's the first time you've used a skill each scene (to encourage not just spamming the same skill) plus another one if you're describing it. Roll those bones and group your dice in sets which make up the number 10. Each one is a raise. You use these to do what you want and to accomplish different things.
The intent here was, "get across the hallway" so we had to use one set of ten each to do that. We were then offered a menu of different risks: taking a wound and being on fire. So each set of ten we rolled could take up one of those risks each. Even better, we could choose which ones, so, "I negate being on fire," was a common phrase. All apart from Prince Aleksy who chose to keep the fire and not the wound. My character didn't do any of that though, she was rolling Wits + Sorte to predict the movements of the fire. You can also spend raises to help other people out, or to add special effects.
Something I love with this system is the amount of agency it puts on players to choose failure or harm on their own terms. If picking a lock you might choose to trip the lock or to be poisoned. It's like the lovely 7-9 compromises in Powered by the Apocalypse games. In the newly-updated rules there are also opportunities which you might want to throw in as well like snatching up a stray weapon or something. But anyway, we ran.
The study was larger and had more options of what to do, but it was also on fire. This palace really had a flame problem and we needed to get out soon. Azucena jumped up on the prince and rode him around, patting out the fire. Az was small and the prince was giant, which helped with this scheme. This was the first rule where Jacob asked if Josh or Vinnie had rolled a one. Vinnie had, so Jacob asked, "Do you want a Hero Point?"
"Yes," Vinnie answered and Jacob handed him a token (fittingly we used Style Point tokens from John Wick's Houses of the Blooded). He also took a token for himself without saying why. We all looked at what had just happened.
Ash said, "It's not like the little Cthulhus, but it's just as scary."
Yep. I'd ready up on these. If players roll any ones, the GM can offer them a Hero Point in return for cashing in a ton of Danger Points. These can be used for horrible things. At the moment we weren't sure what they did, but were fearful.
A woman in black grappled her way into the room and revealed herself to be Estera Sabat, a woman who the prince had been rebuffing the advances of. She was looking a bit more Catwoman-ish and going by the name, The Black Cat. Apparently her dad was leading the coup and she wanted to join us despite having that air of, "I will inevitably betray you." Domenica was looking at the grappling cat burglar and at her own set of dubious skills… the prince definitely had a type. He said two words to her, "Bugger off." She swung back out of the burning palace, leaving us there but now with a rope to get out with. There were forces outside attacking the palace, so Roberto signalled his men at the docks to fire cannons as a distraction. Roberto used the grappling hook to climb down while Aleksy raced him with parkour-ish skills. The two had a contested roll and were able to use some of their raises to outbid one another in getting what they want. Aleksy managed to win and boot Roberto in the junk, but took a lot of damage as he didn't spend any raises getting rid of that. Again, that choice of success or 'winning' versus dealing with the risks at hand. It's cool and feels like a distillation of a lot of the John Wick game ideas in things like Legend of the Five Rings (with raises) and Houses of the Blooded (with added elements to your success and a wager-like mechanic.
I was scouring my character sheet trying to work out what to use. Domenica's a noble and one with suspicious amounts of resources, mainly diplomatic ones. She did have one skill which might fit… Weapon (Whip). She grabbed the rope hanging from the hook and lashed it to a wall on the ground floor, then rode it down. Ennio flipped out of the room and Azucena rode the rope down, lightly scoring it so pursuers would break it. We were outside, but with brute squads confronting us. Brute squads are an aspect of 7th Sea from the old days, a group of people who are like those minions in a film who get cut down in massive numbers. You declare how you're getting rid of them and each raise will remove an additional member of the squad. In this case, Domenica used her Tempt skill to buy the service of three of the mooks. She was a Fate Witch after all and could see the winning side. As far as they knew, she could. Ennio managed to dart around, slicing five of them apart in one action. It's pretty impressive seeing what a proper swordsman can do with a brute squad. No one tell Ennio though, his ego is inflated enough.
The leader of the brute squads, Filipe Kumiega, fled so that we would have to deal with his minions. Azucena, being brash, ran after him alone. Characters have a pair of backgrounds (oddly labelled quirks in the rules themselves) which earn you a Hero Point for fulfilling. Josh was playing Azucena and would have run off alone after Filipe anyway, but this time it matched, "Assassin: You target the person in charge, ignoring as many of the 'pawns' as possible", so he got a Hero Point. Then he saw the brute squad of assassins in the burning hall. Oh dear. Azucena lunged in and grabbed Filipe as a human shield from the assassins who had pistols trained on her.
Back outside, Roberto convinced a few of the remaining brutes to join his pirate crew and the prince took control of the unit Domenica had so she could run into the hall after Filipe. I rolled the worst roll of the evening, not getting a single raise in my attempt at sneaking in, so Domenica ended up pretty much announcing her entrance to the assassins, who stabbed her. I decided to do whatever I could to solve this and announced, "Deploy the tactical swoon!" Domenica pretended to be a helpless noble who had stumbled into the wrong place. She had an ability called, "Come Hither," which takes her and an NPC to another room, which she then leaves alone. Rather than attempt rolling against the mob to convince them all, I decided one of the assassins was going to drop Domenica off in a side room where she could be safe from the fracas. She then left alone, trying to make sure the damage to her dress looked fashionable enough to be seen in public. Filipe and Azucena scuffled which led to Jacob and Josh debating what to do. Both wanted Filipe to get away and become a returning villain, so Azucena stole his dagger and cut one of his ears off. He fled further into the palace and out of the scene. The remaining assassins were finished off by Azucena who threw their bodies out of a window for a soft landing. Roberto saw this and Lee was given five seconds to decide how his character would react. Lee suffers horrendous analysis paralysis and blustered out that he'd shoot. Azucena took a bullet, a general victory was declared over the scene and ran to Roberto's boat.
Things moved to 'dramatic time' once we were at sea. Jacob asked each of us a question about what we were going to do and then the next person would answer why it went well or why it failed.
Aleksy mentioned that he knew a friend of his father's who might help them seek shelter. He was under house arrest, though. The prince bellowed at Roberto's pirate contacts to help out but they were bribed into working for the other wise. Ennio decided his much better plan was to just assassinate Marcen Sabat, who led the coup. That… didn't go well. The bribed pirates sold out the information and Marcen was waiting for him. He fled and pretended to be a servant. The next plan was to assassinate Marcen on the road but he got word of that and led a band of mercenaries to the ambush point. Fortunately Ennio was hidden amongst the mercenaries and turned the tide of the battle back to us.
We decided to head to Vodacce, where the prince would be safe thanks to the Vespucci family and their many resources. It was late, so the session drew to an end.
The system is gorgeous and fits the thematic ideas of being awesome swashbucklers. A lot feels like John Wick's advice made manifest, such as the use of a "Danger" pool. I won't tell you what it does, I like the idea of keeping you all fearful of it. Hero points are nice in that they add a dice to your pool or three to a friend's. Villains are suitably dangerous and brutes suitably squishy (upholding the one ninja/many ninja rule. In a fight there's not so much initiative like so many systems but everyone announces what they'll do, roll and whoever has the most raises at any time goes first so you can help each other out or change your plan depending on what people do. I know at least one player took a couple of rolls to click with the way risks are presented and I was initially concerned that there might be a lot of hang time as the GM came up with problems for each roll. Still, once we started playing it was fine. I can't wait to see more of the system as we get closer to the release.
The In-Fighters will return to Theah for part two of the adventure very soon, featuring the updated rules (fortunately they're not too different from this, in case you're cursing yourself for reading redundant information).
The demo rules are free to backers of the Kickstarter and there will be a 'basic' edition for players when the game is released.

We've known for quite some time now that the iconic Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building would close this month, and move just a few blocks south to a new space at 280 Park Avenue, to be designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld. The restaurant officially closed on July 16, but not before some drunken revelers decided to jump in its pool. But even though the restaurant has now been closed for over a week, a walk inside its airy, modernist expanse makes it seem like the it is just gearing up for dinner service.
Philip Johnson's banquettes, Mies Van der Rohe's armchairs, Eero Saarinen's tulip tables and stools, and Garth and Ada Louise Huxtable's serving dishes and cutlery are all in place, but there's no of thrum excitement of the staff preparing for an upcoming service because dinner is not to be. Instead all those iconic pieces of modernist furniture have been laid out for Wright's auction that's set to take place tomorrow starting at 10 a.m.
In the lead up to the event, where a pair of Mies Van der Rohe Brno side chairs are expected to fetch between $2,000-$3,000, and where the Eero Saarinen custom tulip table is expected to be scooped up for between $5,000-$7,000, the space was opened up to buyers and nostalgia hounds alike. Curbed got a chance to the tour the space for one last time, before Major Food Group, the restaurant company behind Carbone and Parm, officially transforms the space into a as-yet-to-be-determined restaurant.
Bit by bit the pieces were being stripped away and it started with the placard designed by Emil Antonucci, in front of the restaurant. For the most part, the restaurant is still preserved as is, and today is the last day people can get a sense of what this once glamorous venue would have been like. Tomorrow, a memorable New York City establishment, will see its curtains close for good, until it is reborn in a different avatar.

They are going to need that water aquifer replenished. There is a lot of snow that hit the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We are going to need that water aquifer replenished. God has already started to meet the need of the people before the need arises. So, now we understand all these climatic things that are so unusual. I mean, you know we have warm weather and then we have snow here in Dallas. I was up in Canada last fall and I said, you know you guys think you have all the water in the world, but you're going to find out that you don't have all the water you are going to need because there is going to come something that will happen to your water that will make it undrinkable. They do have so much more water than we do. Something is going to happen. Most of the lakes and the aquifers, there is an element of poison or something that is getting into those and they are finding out that the amount of water that they had to drink is dramatically diminishing.

There's something about a hazy lo-fi vibe that transports you immediately to the beach, joint in hand, horizon obscured by brilliant sun rays. This energy emanates from the Australian trio daste. Premiering today with EARMILK, the band's debut EP Palette on Mammal Sounds Records provides a rich patchwork of mellow tones equipped for days spent luxuriating.
Palette arrives on the heels of the three distinct lead singles that also open the EP. We are first greeted with the lushly introspective "Myself," on which questions of autonomy and boldness are posed – "I've got to be free now / cause I can do this all on my own, do this all by myself." Next up is the buzzy and sensual "Thinkin' Of," which saunters in with all the swagger of a cabaret lounge singer. "SOBER" brings the energy back up, with humbled lyrics tumbling atop a confident beat – "I wanna stay sober, for you." With a tell-tale cassette tape click bringing a warmly retro mood, "Overload" keeps it sexy, and in a crescendo of gentle horns, "Palette" closes out the body of work with the beautiful sentiment – "the music is yours to keep."
daste is comprised of Tyler Harden, Callum MacDonald, and Braxton Tahi. The creation process of Palette was unique in that the band allowed each track to breathe as its own independent moment, and then united them all together to create a cohesive palette of emotions as the finished product. The band remarks, "It became freeing to the group to stop narrowing our sound into one category and try every idea until we were happy. The lyrics followed suit as we drew on themes that highlighted our opinions of the music industry and our own approach. Realising the unique quality of each track, the concept of the EP was born – A palette of tracks, each with its own flavour to create the EP."

DHAKA, Bangladesh – Thousands of tons of Bangladesh crabs earmarked for Chinese dining tables are being left to rot because the coronavirus has halted exports.
The Bangladesh crab industry – which involves some 500,000 mostly poor farmers – is facing its worst-ever crisis as some 90% of all crabs from the $30-million market are exported to China.
Farmers told Agence France-Presse (AFP) not a single shipment of crabs was flown to China since exports were halted in the last week of January.
That period is usually the busiest of the year because of the Lunar New Year, where Chinese families have lavish banquets.
Many farmers had borrowed from banks and money lenders at high interest rates to boost stocks ahead of the Lunar New Year.
"My stock is 70% damaged and if I cannot move the rest in a day, those (the rest) will die too," Bidyut Ghosh, a crab farmer from the southwestern town of Paikgacha, told AFP.
The crabs are harvested live and can survive for up to 10 days in the right conditions, but once taken from their ponds they can't be returned without losing quality and condition.
Crab trader Ranjit Mondol – from the coastal district of Bagerhat where some 12,000 tons or 72 million crabs were produced last year – said prices usually doubled or tripled at this time of the year.
"I have lost over 12 tons of live crabs in the past week. That was worth at least $420,000," Mondol told AFP as he broke down in tears, adding that he had taken out a big loan.
"Now I don't know how would I even pay my debts. Perhaps I will end up in jail."
Mondol is among thousands who switched to crab farming as their paddy fields turned barren as climate change increased soil salinity.
"The Chinese ban…will shatter many farmers and send them back into poverty," Mondol said. – Rappler.com

Parking for everyone. Landscaped existing harbour car park could also be used as a "public square" for events like Fish Festivals. Dotted line squares on Board Walk are outside seating. Potential for Gig Club in old inshore RNLI building and Maritime Skills Centre in existing net sheds tied to the Old Harbour for Heritage boats.
