Teachings of the Confucian School in Shanxi Province
This work was written by Wen Xiangfeng (1577–1642), an official in the late Ming period. He received his jin shi degree in 1610 and held many positions, among them assistant commissioner of Shanxi Province, vice commissioner of the Court of the Imperial Stud, and secretary of the Bureau of Ceremonies in the Bureau of Rites in Nanjing. However, Wen Xiangfeng devoted most of his time to teaching and lecturing and was known locally as a Confucian thinker. In 1621 he became the provincial literary chancellor of Shanxi, where he wrote this book, which was printed in the first year of the Tianqi reign (1621–27). The book is in 16 juan, in 16 volumes, and includes a preface by the author. It was not widely circulated. Wen was a follower of Shao Yong (1011–77), the Song philosopher, cosmologist, poet, and historian, who greatly influenced the development of Neo-Confucianism in China. With this work, Wen Xiangfeng hoped that his writing adhered to the doctrines of the Confucian Five Classics. He claimed that his highest aim was to cling to strict ethical and moral standards, to show steadfast loyalty to country and the emperor, which took precedence over blood ties, and to serve, respect, and hold in awe Heaven (symbolic parent of the emperor). He attempted to blend astronomical themes with his theories, devoting himself to Shao Yong's representative work Huang ji jing shi (Book of supreme world-ordering principles) and discussing Confucian teachings and religious issues. He held negative views on Christianity, which had been brought to China by missionaries. Wen Xiangfeng was also known as a published poet and author of collections of poetry.

The very mention of Tibet evokes in the mind of the reader the image of a nation perilously situated in a geo-political matrix caught in the crossfire of history. However, this book reaches beyond immediate history to narrate Tibet's fascinating story of multiple traditions overlaid with legend, folklore, religious ceremony and festivals, and a natural beauty which leaves onlookers breathless. The history of the periods prior to and following the emergence of a theocratic polity, permeating every aspect of society in a world increasingly marked by the declining influence of religion, are some ...

Ryerson's Law Practice Program helps candidates 'hit the ground running'
By AdvocateDaily.com Staff
Ryerson University's Law Practice Program (LPP) helps creative thinkers and broad-minded lawyers-to-be thrive, says program director Gina Alexandris.
"I often advise candidates to 'get comfortable with the uncomfortable,'" she tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Founded four years ago, the LPP is an interactive and innovative program for licensing stream candidates for whom traditional articling may not be the best fit.
"We are an option for those who want something quite different," Alexandris says.
It combines a dynamic simulated work experience in its first half with a work term in the second.
"We get people ready to hit the ground running," Alexandris says. She quotes Chris Bentley, LPP's managing director and a former Ontario attorney general, in describing it as a "17-week play that unfolds day-by-day."
That's because in its first four months, the program simulates actual experience of working in law, followed by four months of an actual work placement.
The first part centres around a virtual law firm where candidates do research, exchange messages and submit work to mentors.
"The technology is the tool, but that's not what drives it," Alexandris says.
Key to the LPP's success is how it mimics the professional environment.
"We are more like work than school," she says. "It's a licensing program, and it's geared towards getting people ready to practise, to move from school to work."
The language it uses reflects that shift: participants are candidates, not students; video sessions with legal experts aren't lectures, they're online meetings with senior partners; and the work groups are firms.
Candidates must be available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, at a minimum, but unexpected requests or deadlines may keep them past office hours. They work on files developed by senior lawyers practising in a range of areas. Assignments come at them as they would in an actual law firm, memos and emails arrive throughout the day, and tasks layer on just like in a work setting.
"They aren't getting one file at a time," Alexandris says, so they must hone their time-management skills, which are so important to success in the workplace.
While candidates don't know what each day will bring, the goal is not to ambush them.
"This isn't meant to be a 'gotcha!' kind of program," Alexandris says. "We're not looking to trick people."
Adding even more authenticity to the experience are actors from Ryerson's Interpersonal Skills Teaching Centre, who play clients. One will have family law issues and cry in a meeting with a candidate. Another complains about a bill. And one will make an irate call from the jailhouse.
"Those are exceptional things, but they do happen," Alexandris says.
"I've had candidates say to me, 'I know that these are actors, but they play their roles so well I forget that. It feels real.'"
The LPP also provides insights around the administrative aspects of running a firm by creating a business plan through "committee work."
"We want them to think about what they would need if they were to hang out a shingle or talk to a bank," Alexandris says.
Candidates have access to Clio, a popular practice-management tool, where they can access client files, record time, review bills and more.
"So, they're actually employing the tools practising lawyers use," Alexandris says.
Each "firm" works with a mentor, who acts as a senior partner for weekly meetings. This is a chance to review files and discuss a professionalism theme, such as confidentiality.
Along with the remote online work through the virtual law firm, are three in-person weeks dispersed throughout the first half of the program where candidates perform mock trials, devise an access-to-justice innovation plan and study trial advocacy with renowned trainers.
"It's quite robust," Alexandris says of the LPP. "And it's consistent."
While articling experiences vary greatly, depending on the placement, all LPP candidates meet the same challenges and develop a similar portfolio of files and skills.
From January to April, candidates take part in a work placement in government, private practice, legal clinics or in-house legal departments, an area that's growing.
"I joke that in the virtual law firm, we're the only employer that actually encourages people to look for other jobs," Alexandris says.
Once the work placement begins, the program maintains contact and support with its candidates.
Alexandris often hears from employers about how well-prepared LPP candidates are when they join the workforce.
"That's one of the big selling features for us," she says. "They've seen it, they've done it."
From candidates, she hears how much they rely on their LPP training when in the work placement and well beyond.
"They tell me, 'I don't know how many times I've gone back through my templates or my training,'" she says. "They've got the confidence, the comfort and the competence to excel."

The film became a surprise hit in 1934, easily succeeding in becoming one of four top-grossing films RKO made that year as noted in The R.K.O. Story published by Arlington House.
Anne Shirley is an orphan who has been adopted by farmer Matthew Cuthbert (O.P. Heggie) and his sister, Marilla (Helen Westley). Although the pair were expecting a young boy to help on their farm, Anne endears herself to them and to the local villagers. She befriends Diana Barry and most of the children at her school, all except for Gilbert Blythe after he calls her 'carrots' and she smashes her slate over his head. She and Diana have a bet that Anne can flirt with Gilbert and he will fall head over heels in love with her. Little do they know, Gilbert overheard them and has already fallen in love with her. Anne flirts with him, which becomes unsuccessful, and Diana wins the bet. Anne lies to Gilbert that she has a boyfriend to make him jealous, but she only ends up embarrassing herself.
Shortly after, Anne is playing the Lady of Shalott when she realizes her boat is sinking, and Gilbert sees her and saves her life. She then decides to forgive him and give him a reward for saving her. She will kiss him. Gilbert is surprised. Anne thinks he doesn't want to claim his reward, but he tells her he does and that he wants her to be his girl. For three years they have an affair, but Mrs. Barry spies on them and tells Marilla. Marilla does not want Anne to even talk to Gilbert, since his mother broke Matthew's heart. Anne and Gilbert are both devastated and Matthew is upset with Marilla, since it wasn't she who got her heart broken.
Anne goes to college. Diana, who is now married, visits Anne and tells her that Matthew is ill. She returns to Green Gables, finding out it's for sale to save Matthew, since he needs the best doctor in Halifax. She remembers Gilbert is studying with this doctor, so she goes to see Gilbert. He tries flirting with her, and she eventually gives in and finds out that Gilbert heard about Matthew and begged the doctor to save him for free, which he did. After Marilla finds out what he had done, she forgives the Blythes and lets Anne and Gilbert see each other again.

|In 2554, the Red Army introduced Grifball to the world. By 2557, all other sports had been abandoned.
Grifball is a community created game-type made by Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth. The game is played as an Assault variant, on a customized version of the Foundry map using Forge. (Grifbox, the new Sandbox Crypt variant) Players are given infinite usage of the Gravity Hammer and Energy Sword as a means to attack and defend the other players in the game as they help their ball carrier plant the Bomb in the opposing team's goal. While the arena lacks any obstacles, the game becomes extremely intense and strategic as the game relies heavily on teamwork and a bit of luck. The arena lacks any sort of cover or obstacles, and is played like a Rooster Teeth-inspired game of Rugby. The game often results in players getting several multi-kills up to Killionaires and occasionally an Extermination (usually due to exploding Bombs. A well-timed Gravity Hammer strike during the start-of-round Bomb rush can also claim four--or seven, for that matter--lives at once).
On March 6th, it has been included in a special unranked "Double EXP" hopper in Halo 3 matchmaking. There is no set rotation for Grifball, although it has appeared many times afterward.
The origin of Grifball can be traced back to an interview with its creator:
"In Season Four of Red vs Blue, Sarge is taking pot-shots with a Sniper Rifle at his orange soldier Grif, whom he hates. He's having a great time and blurts out 'This is the best game since Grifball!' That was written about three years ago and we always wondered what kind of game Grifball would have been. That's why the ball carrier turns orange – everyone in the game is constantly trying to hammer-smash Grif and even if he scores, he explodes. Either way, Sarge wins."
There have been two documented occasions (Grifball Week 2 Highlights and British Summer League Highlights Week 3) when the ball-carrier (A.K.A. Grif) did not die after scoring. In the first case, he dropped the Bomb and rode a Hammer shock wave away from the explosion to safety. When the video ends, Sarge is heard crying in the background, "I'm so sad, I don't think I can go on. End it now, end it now." The second time this happened, the player managed to score and was then propelled out of the way by an opponent in an attempt to kill him[1].
A basic instruction is shown on youtube[2].
Grifball is a simple game, akin to modern-day rugby. Two teams of three-four players square off in a simple arena in which each team has a goal. The object is to take the ball in the middle of the court and put it in the other team's goal.
There have also been some variants of small rule changes for change of game play for the Double EXP Weekend, here are some examples:
|Energy Sword
|Gravity Hammer
|Try to punch the sword wielder as he lunges or before he lunges. Timing is key.
|You should be able to punch them unless you have low shields. This is known as a "God Punch".
|Energy Sword
|The Lunge nearly always works. You will be killed if you lunge as they punch, however.
|You will both sword parry, but if you melee instead of slicing the second time it is faster.
Melee first to parry the Lunge then Melee again to kill
|Back out of range as they hit then rush and lunge at them.
|Gravity Hammer
|Try and hammer as he is about to punch you. This should cause him to stop mid ball lunge and/or propel him backwards.
|Rush and attack at the right time.
|Back up to avoid the splash damage, then move forward after he has made his Hammer strike.
Launches are a way of propelling your teammate's forward quickly.

my sims 2 double deluxe would install fine until it got to 35% and then it would say - A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'E:/Base/TsData/Res/Sound/Sfx2.package' from media.
Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?
And i would keep pressing the retry button and every 3 or 4 times pressing it, it would go from 35% to 36% and keep going up every 3 or 4 times pressing the retry button like i said but it keeps saying the same thing...... So how do i fix that problem?????
If you're installing from a CD then it's probably scratched. Try cleaning the bottom of it with a soft cloth.

GREENCASTLE, PA: In an awards luncheon on November 28, 2018, the board of directors of the Greencastle-Antrim Education Foundation awarded eight mini-grants to Greencastle-Antrim teachers and counselors.
"GAEF awarded teacher mini-grants in the past, but not for a few years," said board president Garon Gembe, "we are thrilled to bring the mini-grants back and are committed to continuing them each year."
The application process began in September and grants were due in October. The board of directors reviewed and discussed all of the grant applications. "Initially $5,000 was set as the limit for the revamped mini-grant process," said, GAEF executive director, Cheryl Brown. "We were inspired by all of the applications and felt compelled to go over our intended budget and fund all eight worthy projects.
The teachers and counselors who submitted applications along with their projects are outlined below:
Haven Benedict
Haven requested "Talk and Type" Logitech headsets with microphones for use by the 4th and 5thGrade English Language Arts Learning Support Classroom.
The acquisition of this equipment allows the teacher to better fulfill the access to dictation, as stated in the student IEP's.
The access to dictation will increase student motivation when writing. Student spelling mistakes will also decrease. The use of dictation will also decrease handwriting frustrations exhibited by many students.
James Thomas and Meagan Brockway
James and Meagan plan to create a chapter of the Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society here a GASD.
Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society is the only national organization for high school juniors and seniors that recognizes excellence in the field of Social Studies.
The mission and purpose of Rho Kappa is to promote scholarship and to recognize academic excellence in social studies among high school students.
Daniel Barrett and Jenniffer Everetts
As school counselors, their unique role is to provide for social, emotional and academic needs of their students.
Daniel and Jenniffer applied for a professional development mini-grant to attend Motivational Interviewing. Motivational Interviewing is a research-based technique that is about arranging conversations so that students talk themselves into change based upon their own values and interests.
They will be attending a full day introduction training on December 6th.
Ronalyn Bingaman
Ronalyn requested a mini-grant to purchase studio equipment for the Studio Recording Foundation Elective.
The additional equipment will allow more students to participate in the program and will be a vital part of the portable studio.
This equipment will allow students to record and listen to rehearsals which will perfect the sound and help performance groups grow and develop their abilities through using listening skills and becoming more analytical of their pitch, tone, dynamics and overall musicality during a rehearsal or performance.
Stacie Shaner
Stacie applied for a mini-grant to expand her library of Game-Based Learning in 7th Grade Mathematics.
Game-based learning is the educational concept of using games in the classroom to teach new concepts and reinforce previously taught concepts.
The games Stacie will be selecting cover a wide variety of math standards. She plans to introduce these new initiatives in January.
Robert Poole and Susan Hirneisen
Robert and Susan each submitted mini-grants for Ipads in their classrooms.
In the classroom setting technology is becoming increasingly important. With increased Ipads in the classrooms, students will be able to utilize technology on a more regular basis.
While we couldn't fund all of the Ipads requested, each mini-grant application was awarded two Ipads with cases and charging station.
Ross Winegardner
Ross applied for a mini-grant to cover the cost to take students in the Human Rights Literature course to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Leading up to the trip, Ross will have students study the genocide in Cambodia and then the Holocaust.
During the fieldtrip, students will take pictures of exhibits that most affect them and when they return they will put together a one page reflection of the experience.
Ross plans to take the students on this fieldtrip in the Spring.
"We look forward to hearing back from all of the recipients in the spring and seeing the results of their projects that we funded," said Brown.
GAEF is planning an inaugural family oriented New Year's Eve event from 6:30 – 8:00 at Kaley Field on December 31st. "It will be an early countdown," said Brown. "We will be Raising the Bar as this free event to ring in the new year and kick-off the new capital campaign at Kaley Field which will consist of a ticket booth, concessions, and restroom."
To see all of the exciting things that GAEF has planned, follow them on facebook, visit them on their "under-construction" website, or contact the executive director at 717-658-0961.

The Catholic Church in Vietnam was devastated during the Tay Son Rebellion in the late 18th century. Converts began to be harassed without official edicts in the late 1820s by local governments. In 1831 the emperor passed new laws on regulations for religious groupings in Viet Nam and Catholicism was then officially prohibited. The Vatican estimates the number of Vietnamese martyrs at between 130,000 and 300,000.
The Vietnamese Martyrs fall into several groupings, those of the Dominican, Jesuit, and the Paris Foreign Missions Society. A representative sample of only 117 martyrs—including 96 Vietnamese, 11 Spanish Dominicans, and 10 French members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society. A young Vietnamese Martyr, Andrew Phu Yen was beatified on March 5, 2000 also by Pope John Paul II. The only non-clergy woman among the 117 martyrs was St. Anne Le Thi Thanh.
The tortures these individuals underwent are considered by the Vatican to be among the worst in the history of Christian martyrdom. The torturers hacked off limbs joint by joint, tore flesh with red hot tongs, and used drugs to enslave the minds of the victims.
The 117 Martyrs of Vietnam are saints and were canonized on June 18, 1988 by Pope John Paul II. Their feast is on November 24. This year we proudly honored their 30th Anniversary with a procession of relics and Vietnamese Martyr Icon at our St. Justin Martyr Parish, on Sunday November 18th 2018 before the Vietnamese mass at 12:00 p.m.
The Retreat Center on Kermier Road in Waller Texas named in memory of St. Anne Le Thi Thanh. Father Paul has approved for St. Justin Martyr ACTS Ministry to host women's retreat and men's retreat at this center in 2019.

Platelet production, derived from megakaryocytes, is regulated with thrombopoietin. Thrombopoietin is a hormone that is produced within the liver and kidneys. These steps explain how platelet forms from their very birth to their disposition.
1.) Birth of an embryo
When an embryo first comes to be, it consists of totipotent embryo cells, a specific type of cell. These cells have the capacity to divide into any cell needed by the body, whether it be an ear, eye, lung, liver, brain, or bone.
With a capacity to divide that is unmatched, these first cells are what divides into all other functioning cells. First, totipotent cells give form hematopoietic cells, which then divide into all other cells that are present in the blood.
These cells continue to divide, keeping the totipotent cell pool alive.
Related: How Many Platelets are in the Human the Body?
2.) The formation of blood cells
The bloodline lineage of platelets begins with cells that are known as hematopoietic stem cells. These cells have the ability to grow and transform into any blood cell line form, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and also platelets.
Hematopoietic stem cells are the very first cells that give birth to all of the other cells that can be found in the blood. This is made possible by colony-stimulating factor influence.
These factors require chemicals to initiate a particular cell divide into other types of cells. For example, the presence of granulocyte monocytes, or GM-CSF, is the stimulating factor that lends to the production of blood cells from hematopoietic cells.
These cells continue to divide keeping the totipotent pool alive.
3.) Progenitor cells
Other committed cells types from this lineage are progenitor cells. Once these cells have formed, they can only divide into the next cell based on the chemical influence that is provided by the body.
That being said, progenitor cells are committed to giving form to the specific cell type based on the chemical they are provided with and cannot form into any other type of cell under the same circumstance.
4.) Cell lines
All of the various types of cell lines form together derived from a common ancestor. During this step, cell lines work to pool accordingly, separating from one another in their respective areas.
5.) Megakaryoblasts
Under the colony stimulating factors, progenitor cells create megakaryoblasts. These stimulating factors are completely essential to platelet formation.
These immature cells are only found within bone marrow. In certain diseases of the bone, megakaryoblast cells can release early into circulation, and are visible through a peripheral blood smear.
6.) Formation of megakaryocytes
Colony-stimulating factors also help megakaryoblasts mature, giving rise to megakaryocytes. Dependency on colony-stimulating factors in platelet formation stops at this step.
From here on out, erythropoietin takes on the task of platelet formation.
7.) Maturation of megakaryocytes
With the influence of erythropoietin, megakaryocytes mature. Erythropoietin is a hormone that is formed by the kidneys and liver before being released into the blood where it reaches the body's bone and enters into bone marrow.
Here megakaryocyte maturation occurs. In diseases that involve the kidneys and liver, erythropoietin production can be compromised. As a result, the number of platelets produced in the body is also lowered.
8.) Megakaryocyte extrusion
Since megakaryocyctes are platelets' precursor, this is the very last step in regard to involve bone marrow. All other steps of platelet formation occur outside of the bone within the bloodstream.
During this step, the bone marrow extrudes megakaryocytes from the bone through its capillaries before being released into the bloodstream.
9.)Pro-platelet release and megakaryocyte breakage
Cellular breakage and nuclear death occurs at the moment megakaryocytes release into the bloodstream. This happens even as they pass through the capillaries into the blood.
At this stage, megakaryocytes contain outgrowths of pro-platelets, which break off of a megakaryocyte's main body. These pro-platelet-consisting extensions carry protein necessary for the forming of cell machinery.
10.) Platelets
Last but not least, platelets are formed by the breaking off of extension pro-platelet components into smaller pieces located in the blood.
These platelets are probably what you are familiar with through counts in the blood during various diagnostic health procedures. They can be counted through peripheral blood samples by putting it in a cell counter.
This process helps to detect any abnormally low or high platelet numbers. In order to recognize platelet morphology, peripheral blood smears can also be examined under a microscope. A blood smear is created from blood and is spread onto a slide.
These ten steps outline the formation of platelets and suggest that there is a plethora of room for complications when it comes to morphology and platelet count.
Any drug or defect that interferes with any one of these steps can lead to abnormal growth, or increase or decrease in platelet formation.
To diagnose patients that present with symptoms that are suggestive of a dysfunction in platelets such as clotting or bleeding, a doctor must take this into account, examining every one of these steps for factors that could have an effect on platelet count, in combination with diagnostic examination, an assessment of symptoms, morphology and platelet count.
Another important note to make is that all blood cells originate from the same single ancestor cell. In fact, every cell found in our body originates from a single cell.
Any defect at these earlier cell stages can present diseases at later stages. Since cell formation including platelet formation continues throughout our whole life, it is especially important to keep bone marrow safe.
Any tiny change in the overall environment of in which platelets form, along with other white and red blood cell production can result in huge differences in the functioning of the body.

I've never got near to finishing a Dark Souls game, though I'm fascinated by the worlds they're set in. All those rich details, hidden in snippets of dialogue, quest item descriptions and the oppressive environments wrapping themselves around each hollow's journey. How it takes a couple of playthroughs, perhaps, before even a seasoned player can begin to piece together the puzzle of why you're in this place, fighting these odds, dying time and again.
I can read about this stuff for hours, and watch countless videos online exploring the games' mythology, the connections between characters, these cursed beasts and crooked crones. I just wish I had the time to properly dig into any one of these games, to overcome the walls I run into, bounce off of, and never return to.
And I know, from an hour in the company of Nioh, that the same fate awaits me with Team Ninja's long-time-coming action-RPG. It's a purposefully tough, any-enemy-can-end-you affair, a game that a brief preview session will never do justice to.
There's great depth to its fighting system—you can switch between four weapons on the fly, use all manner of explosives and magical items, adjust your stance for more defensive or offensive benefits, and summon a variety of guardian spirits to boost your combat effectiveness. Your stamina is your "Ki", and there's a simple way to top it back up after your swinging and swiping exertion, with the timed tapping of just one button—not that I often remember to. The menu stats in this game go on for days, with the player-controlled character—a Western samurai called William, based on the very real William Adams, an Englishman who became a samurai in the early 17th century—hugely customizable.
But I seriously doubt I'll ever be in a position to fully appreciate everything this game—in development, one way or another, since 2004—given its tendency towards the demanding. I don't count my deaths in my preview, but they're many; and while I make the demo's final boss, I barely chip away at the monster's health before being obliterated.
"We wanted to make a challenging game, but a challenging game in which users felt a sense of accomplishment," says Nioh's co-director, Yosuke Hayashi, a self-confessed Dark Souls series fan who loves to take a battering in Lordran after a hard day at the office. "And if they were facing a challenge that they could not overcome, it's about making sure that their time will be rewarded, that they will be able to work out how to get over those challenges."
I know that the very best Dark Souls players commit serious time to each conquered title—time that is demanded of them, without exception. And anyone who really makes headway, to completion or as close to, in Nioh is going to be in that same bracket of dedicated, determined players. The sort who is happy to die, and die, and die, as you will, in order to best understand the nuances of this supernatural Japan of the 1600s. A land where strange magical beings, the "yokai", appear before William, looking to stamp him out of existence with even more relish than the many, loot-dropping human warriors blocking his path.
Above: 'Nioh', extended Tokyo Game Show trailer
The yokai are magnificent in their malevolence—and right bastards to come up against in one-on-one combat, too. One that appears several times in the demo possesses bird-like features, and attacks from both ground level and the air above William. Its strikes do substantial damage. The best solution I found to getting past these evil entities was quite literally to get past them—find a gap and sprint, leaving them in your dust. Other yokai prove susceptible to a gunshot or two, going down with just a little lead in them, but these crow-faced "karasu-tengo" creatures get the better of me every time, if I try to go toe to talon. So, I run.
"It's really easy to make a simply difficult game," say Hayashi, whose past credits include directing Ninja Gaiden 3 and Metroid: Other M. "That's just about increasing this three up to a ten. But we ask ourselves: is that a good game? So, really, it does take a lot of time and effort, and user testing, to make that adjustment."
Nioh's user testing included a couple of public-facing demos, the most recent of which was released via PSN for a week in late August 2016. Team Ninja received a lot of feedback from players about where to take their title—but nothing so major that they couldn't release the game when they are, in February 2017. They'd already accounted for missing 2016—"We really did want to launch Nioh last year," Hayashi explains, "but we had to feel that the game was at the optimal level, so we deliberately extended the development cycle so that we got to a point where we were confident, and satisfied"—but had no desire to push the game deeper into 2017.
"I feel that gamers are always going to want, or request more," the co-director continues. "And so, for instance, if you have ten requests, and address nine of them, it's not like you're going to be left with one—during that process, you'll have received another ten. So we really needed to make a judgement call: hey, this game is now good enough, in its current version.
"We didn't get anything back that was completely unexpected, but going through the feedback there were times where we realised: oh, they did want that, that change, after all. We definitely prioritised feedback that had a lot of strong voices, but as far as major things, we didn't get anything that was completely unexpected."
The prospect of playing a game that began life as an unfinished Akira Kurosawa script, and has been through several stylistic and story changes—originally a more traditional RPG, it then went in a more Dynasty Warriors direction before ending up as its Souls-like final form—is hugely appealing to me. I love a game with kinks and cracks in its creation; where development has evolved rather than remain crystallised from day one. That's how all games should come together. Nioh's real-world historical foundations, folded around local folklore in the form of the yokai enemies and allies, also represents an intriguing mix of the relatable and fantastical.
But I just can't see Nioh sticking in my PS4, in my home, where I have all the distractions of family responsibilities outside of working hours. Challenging games are reserved for on-the-go play these days; when I'm kicking back, for maybe an hour here or there in any given week, I'm unlikely to head straight to a bodying by a bird-faced baddie. I'd rather crack on with something I know I'll progress with, slowly but surely. It's how I finished The Witcher 3 after almost a full year's play, how I'm creeping through Final Fantasy XV—and why I'm still stuck in the toxic swamp of Farron Keep in Dark Souls 3.
Hayashi's enthusiasm for these kinds of experiences, though, shines through in our conversation: "I love playing games like this," he exclaims, "and the people who made this game love Dark Souls." If they've properly respected From Software's series, too, then admirers of its claustrophobic, acerbic, singularly strenuous charms are sure to find something to love here as well. If that's you, maybe tweet me your verdict, once you're deep into William's journey—as that's the only way I'm likely to know the outcome of his travails.
Nioh is released for PlayStation 4 on February 7 th.

Wild Game Chili Recipe
Wild Game
Wild game is a popular item at many of the Park City, UT restaurants and for very good reasons. Visitors love trying something new especially if it is an ingredient not found on their hometown restaurant menus.
And let's face it, how often do you find buffalo, elk, venison, or wild bore at your neighborhood eatery.
I have tried and enjoyed all these "wild game" meats during my six years as a resident of Park City. Are they better than beef? Are the worth the higher price?
I guess that depends on your personal tastes. As much as I enjoy a venison steak while here in the mountains, I wouldn't pick it over a choice or prime cut New York strip steak.
One recipe I would like to try at home, if I can find the ingredients, is Zane Holmquist's Wild Game Chili. Zane is the executive chef at the world class Stein Eriken Lodge in Deer Valley just up the road from downtown Park City.
I'm not sure Zane remembers who I am but we met many times when I lived there and even went to a Fourth of July barbecue at his house years ago.
Zane said this about cooking wild game meats in the Park City Magazine where I found this recipe,
"We're in the West; it's part of our heritage. It's also nice to broaden our horizons and use meat with unique textures and flavors."
He also says in the article,
"seasonings like garlic, verdant herbs, and earthy mushrooms help to balance the robust flavors of wild game before cooking the meat to a medium-rare to medium doneness."
2 tablespoons olive oil or corn oil
1/2 pound buffalo, diced in ¾ inch cubes
1/2 pound elk or venison, diced in ¾ inch cubes
1/2 pound wild boar or pork, diced in ¾ inch cubes
1 onion, medium diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons pasilla chile powder
2 tablespoons New Mexican chili powder
1/2 cup coffee, brewed
1 bay leaf
9 ounces tomato juice
18 ounces canned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups beef stock or one 12-ounce can of beer
4 cups water
Sour cream for garnish
Green onions for garnish
How To Prepare At Home
Mix all the dry spices together and use half the mixture to season the meat. Heat the oil in large stock or soup pot until hot but not smoking and brown the meat for 10 - 15 minutes in the pan. Add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the coffee, tomato juice, bay leaves, diced tomatoes, stock, water and the remaining spice mixture. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours until the meat is tender. You can adjust the consistency with more stock and check the seasonings.
Garnish with sour cream and green onions before serving.
This sounds like a great recipe and I'm sure you can substitute some easier to find ingredients for the wild game meats and still have a great result.
By the way, one of my other favorite all time chili recipes is Deer Valley Chili and very popular to everyone who ski at the Deer Valley Resort.

That sounds wonderful, RG. It's getting too hot here in FL already to contemplate chili, but I envy folks who are still enjoying chili weather:-)
Ingredients shouldn't be too hard to come by if you use venison, buffalo and pork. I'd also go with half and half beer to stock instead of all one or all the other.
We butchered and cooked a wild boar at work a few weeks ago and had everything from wild boar bacon to head cheese. It was fantastic!
That definitely sounds like a fantastic recipe! I also think the beer has to be in there. Here in Texas you can't walk two feet at a chili cook-off without someone telling you why their chili is better than the next guy's. That being said – I've tasted a lot!
I know it's easier to sub the pork or other common meats for some of the exotic stuff, but the taste just isn't even close in comparison. I highly recommend this site we use for wild boar meat because they are fresh, quality, and affordable. I've had much more luck with them than any of our local meat vendors here in Austin and I just really recommend their product.
Thanks for sharing your recipe and hopefully this was helpful!
WARNING!!!! do not put 4 tablespoons of salt!!! It is too salty to eat after it sat in the fridge overnight.
With that being said… we ate the chili after it simmered over four hours and it was the best chili I've ever had. I use ground red deer, ground water buffalo and wild hog steaks. The steaks melted in our mouths.😋 I also added 2 green bell peppers and 7-10 roasted New Mexico green chilies. Add a little bit of cumin too.
Thank you for this recipe. When we get more meat I will definitely make this again possibly without adding salt sense the tomatoe sauce and diced tomatoes have salt in them.
Lastly, if you have away to make it less salty please let me know…🙏 I don't want to throw the rest of the chili out.😕

A new pad of paper
My aunty Rachel told me that I had to do them bigger. I have been doing them all A4 size under the pretence that they are just practice. But of course she is right. I may as well practice on a size that might actually look good on the wall. So I bought an A3 size pad of paper. The last 2 here are on that size.
I am painting the drawings I did earlier in the year. It is great because you aren't looking at a photo or real life, which means you aren't caught up in realism. This is a great way to loosen up. The colours are all your own. The forms are all waaaay off real life… just the way it should be. One of these is a painting of a painting of a drawing. 😱

text: Share: Comments Print February 26, 2010 at 11:22 AM Analyst: Apple iPad will be hit, lower cost iPhones coming Posted by Brier Dudley People are underestimating what a hit Apple's iPad will be, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty. In a note to clients today, Huberty predicted Apple will sell 6 million iPads this year — way more than the 3 million to 4 million consensus estimate. Huberty believes "recent negative sentiment" since the iPad unveiling have set Apple's stock up for a bounce after the device launches in March and new iPhones appear in June. She reiterated her target of $250, up from the current $205 (the stock's up about 3 percent today). The report predicted new iPhones coming in June will have new capabilities, perhaps including new gesture controls, and lower cost of ownership — suggesting a lower device price and perhaps lower service plan options. From her comment on the iPad: We expect Apple to ship its first iPad and announce additional content deals in late March to better than expected demand. We see the iPad targeting the sub-$800 consumer notebook market, which equates to 30M annual units just in the US (120M globally). We expect iPad points of distribution to expand through CY10, both in the US and International markets, which could add 500K-1M units from channel fill alone. From her comment on the iPhone: "We expect Apple to launch new iPhones in June that offer both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology. As we've highlighted in the past, the cost of device + service plan is currently the biggest barrier to incremental demand in both mature markets like the US and emerging markets like China."

If you were surprised when your grandparents started using the Internet, just wait until your air conditioner jumps online. Companies in Northeast Ohio are working to connect all sorts of consumer and industrial products to the Internet. Thermostats. Diesel generators. Insulin pumps. Even beer taps. The companies are among the many around the world that are creating online versions of what traditionally have been offline products, a trend often referred to as "the Internet of Things." For instance, a new line of compact fluorescent light bulbs that Aurora-based TCP Inc. released in January can be turned on and off from afar. So, even if you're on the beach, you can use your smart phone to make sure you turned off your basement lights, or you can turn on a few lights at night to make it look like you're at home, said Jim Crowcroft, vice president of marketing at TCP. The software also lets consumers turn entire groups of bulbs on and off at once while monitoring how much energy they use. The Internet-connected light bulbs are expensive; a four-pack costs $200. But now that the software to operate them is developed and the engineering is done, prices should fall as TCP releases more of the lights, Mr. Crowcroft said. TCP already has started approaching retail stores and hotel chains that might be interested in controlling large numbers of lights remotely. "This is ready for prime time," Mr. Crowcroft said. "It's not future stuff." American Electric Power of Columbus is trying to figure out whether technology from a Chagrin Falls company, Intwine Energy, is ready for widespread adoption. Today, more than 300 AEP customers in Oklahoma have opted to let the utility install Intwine's Wi-Fi enabled thermostats and outlets in their homes. The hardware gives the utility a way to turn down homeowners' air conditioners and turn off whatever they choose to plug into Intwine's Internet-connected outlets when AEP has trouble keeping up with demand for electricity, said Dave Martin, co-founder of Intwine. The technology also lets AEP charge higher rates to customers who run those devices during peak hours versus those who turn them on when demand tends to be low. "This gives them (AEP officials) just another tool in the tool box to manage supply and demand," Mr. Martin said. He noted that AEP this summer plans to add more homes to the pilot and to start using Intwine technology to control water heaters and pool pumps.
All things can click from afar
Internet makes a lot possible, even controlling beer at
the bar
AEP isn't the only large corporation interested in connecting offline products to the Internet. Korean conglomerate LG in January announced it would release several "smart" home appliances, including a refrigerator that can let its owner look at what's inside while out shopping and washer and dryer that can alert the owner when there is a mechanical problem. In February, Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers said the maker of computer networking hardware is "all in" on the Internet of Things trend, declaring it will be a "fundamental change in the whole IT industry," according to a story by Information Week. The San Jose, Calif., company plans to make huge investments in the sector. One of many big companies helping Cisco plan its coming Internet of Things World Forum is Rockwell Automation Inc., a Milwaukee-based company with offices in Mayfield Heights, Twinsburg and Warrensville Heights. Rockwell's Mayfield Heights office last year helped M.G. Bryan Equipment Co. of Grand Prairie, Texas, create a system to monitor the performance of equipment used during the hydraulic fracturing process, a technique for drilling for oil and gas trapped beneath shale rock formations. The Internet-connected system tells M.G. Bryan customers when the machine's diesel engine needs a new oil filter or its transmission needs work, said John Dyck, director of software business development at Rockwell's Mayfield Heights office. That office also recently developed systems designed to monitor remotely the health of equipment used at power plants and water treatment facilities, Mr. Dyck said. Rockwell plans to keep looking for new ways to connect industrial machines to the Internet, he said. "I foresee a future where virtually every asset in a manufacturing facility will have some and in some cases most of its data in the cloud," Mr. Dyck said.
There's a lot of opportunity to create Internet-connected medical products, too, said Jim Ohneck, chief marketing officer for Valtronic, a Swiss electronics maker with its U.S. headquarters in Solon. Valtronic is working with another Swiss company to create an insulin pump that would be controlled via a dedicated smart phone. However, many of Valtronic's other products are designed to be implanted in the body. Although many are built to communicate wirelessly with other devices, federal regulators still are leery about letting medical implant makers connect their products to the Internet because they "don't want to set up a situation that enables you to hack into somebody's device that's in their body," Mr. Ohneck said. But the demand for Internet-connected implants is building, he said. "Almost every medical company that walks in our door with a project has something in mind," Mr. Ohneck said. Tony Pietrocola said he believes demand for all sorts of Internet-connected devices will continue to grow. That's one reason why Mr. Pietrocola — who founded and sold Tenth Floor Inc., a Cleveland-based interactive marketing and web content management software company — invested in a Shaker Heights startup called iOTOS in January. Through a distributor, iOTOS, which stands for "Internet of Things Operating System," recently started selling a beer tap that lets bars give customers the ability to order a drink with a smart phone and open the tap by waving a hand over a sensor on top of it. The company also is starting to sell a product that lets users open their garages via a smart phone. However, the startup's main goal is to sell hardware and software that lets other companies connect their products to the Internet, said Mr. Pietrocola, who now is vice president of sales at iOTOS. He argues that being based in the Midwest is an advantage for the company, given how many manufacturing companies are in the region Opportunities for companies such as his only are going to grow, Mr. Pietrocola added. He cited Cisco's prediction that the number of devices connected to the Internet will climb from 10 billion today — a figure that includes computers, smart phones and tablets — to 50 billion in 2020. "You're talking about monster numbers," he said. "And when you think of all these things being connected, how are you going to control them?"

I just finished reading it and... I get it. There was a point. It completely makes sense. I remembered something tragic (from when I read it in HS)- something to do with Daisy and the pool (for some reason I guess I thought she died).
And a poster pretty much hit it correctly. Especially these quotes:
It definitely embodies the excesses of the 20's and really takes the shallow nature of the elite (and the wanna be elite) during that time to hyperbole.
what Gatsby had on the surface - success, tons of friends, and a rock 'n roll lifestyle - the American dream. What we learn is that under all of it is nothing. Emptiness.
What I'm annoyed with I think is the "hype" surrounding Daisy. I remember people going on and on about the essence of Daisy and how rich the character was or whatever. I guess in the end...well... I disliked her character. I'm sure that's what you're supposed to take away from the story-the idea that these characters are so superficial and self-involved that they would knowingly ruin another man's life and just frolick away into the sunset, guiltless. But grrrrrr. why do people make Daisy supposedly like, the feminine character of all characters?
Like this quote when they cast her in the new movie:
...won the coveted role of Daisy Buchanan ...
What? like it's hard to play a shallow and self-absorbed child? Paris Hilton's been pulling it off for years.
I know I'm boiling F. Scott Fitzgeralds literary heroine into a one-dimensional insipid female. And he was probably enamoured with the glorious idea of painting this colorful and grandiose character. A character with such joie de vivre that you can't help but fall in love with her (even if you hate her too). But she just....I dunno... That character is what I don't get. Daisy Buchanan? Wha?
Anyhow. It wasn't as bad as I thought but it wasn't all that like it seems the hype is about Gatsby, Gatsby, Gatsby...whatevs.
I never thought she was supposed to be likeable. I don't think any of the characters were likeable. I think Nick was closest any of them came to that.
And I don't think "coveted role" = likeable character. I'm sure Voldemort was coveted
I never thought she was supposed to be likeable. I don't think any of the characters were likeable. I think Nick was closest any of them came to that.
And I don't think "coveted role" = likeable character. I'm sure Voldemort was coveted
ITA. None of the characters came out in good light. Even Nick, though not as bad as the rest of the lot, was guilty by association and stood around while everyone else cheated, beat and excessively indulged.
Some people say that you can tell a story is 'good' by how you react to the characters. I guess in a sense that's true for me. I constantly rolled my eyes and laughed at their idiocies. I hated Tom. I hated Gatsby. I hated Daisy and Nick just sat their like a bump on a log. That I felt that way says something right? The fact that I disliked them might have been part of the point?
Or maybe this is just me trying to justify that I read a great literary work and just didn't get it.
I agree that coveted =/= likeable. It means it's interesting to play. And I think Daisy is so wounded and deplorable that, yeah, it'd be cool to get into a character like that.
I probably shouldn't say more, though, because The Great Gatsby is my favorite book of all time. Then again, I'm also in the minority that loves Wuthering Heights. I think characters that are despicable human beings are incredibly interesting. And I'm a big fan of tragic, ill-fated love stories. *shrug*
I think you need to look at this from the stand point of nick/gatsby. The story is not about daisy...and she isnt the one who dies. Gatsby is shot in his pool because he is blamed for the murder. Basically it is a story about yes the rich in the 20s but also its about Gatsby's love for Daisy. They were in love when they were young and Daisy got away from him. Basically he became one of the richest men in NY to win her attention because he knew all she cared about was money, but it still was not enough, because she was so engrossed by society that she wouldn't leave her cheating husband for the man she loved. And even went on to blame Gatsby for a homicide she committed.
I think this is such a famous novel because it is a story of how powerful love is, and how far a person would go to impress the one they love. Yes, it is tragic, but reality isn't a fairy tale.

After getting over the "buttaflies" in her belly during a recording session with Chris Brown, Ariana Grande took it a step further on Thursday and danced cheek-to-cheek with her duet partner.
Brown posted an image of the pair pulling off a deft ballet move, his hand on her right thigh, her arm wrapped around the back of his head as they stared into each other's eyes in a dance studio.
"Coming soon!" Brown wrote, perhaps hinting that we might see the pair co-starring in a video as well.
Grande is clearly giving their mystery collabo her all, posting an image of her ballet shoe-clad feet and complaining of "#blisters #bloodytoez #yesmyribbonsaresloppilyfallingdownafter3hoursofrehearsal #yesmyfeetcouldbeenpointeharder."
Last week, Grande said she was working on new music and manager Scooter Braun tweeted about an "amazing session" she had that will produce an "incredible duet" soon. The next day, Brown posted what appeared to be lyrics, "I dug a single seed into the ground, I hope it grows."
Grande supplied the next line at the same time, "In a year or two if you're around, you'll see a rose."
