Vitamin B12
Protect your heart, slow aging, and boost brain health with B12
It's an essential nutrient, participating in numerous biochemical reactions that protect against cardiovascular diseases, protect our genes, and enhance mood and cognitive function. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data, about one in every three Americans does not obtain adequate amounts of vitamin B12, and this number may be far higher. If you are age 65 or older, you have a high risk of atrophic gastritis (low stomach acid), which interferes with B12 absorption.
Several forms are available as supplements, including cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and methylcobalamin. Many people consider hydroxycobalamin and methylcobalamin to be the more natural forms of the vitamin.
Over the past several years, research has revealed multifaceted benefits to vitamin B12:
1. Protects Against Cardiovascular Disease
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role with folic acid and other B vitamins in a series of biochemical reactions called methylation. Methylation is needed to replicate genes and regulate their activity, protect against cardiovascular diseases, and make neurotransmitters and phospholipids. Low levels of vitamin B12 lead to increases in blood levels of methylmalonic acid, which may boost the risk of heart disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. To protect yourself, take a supplement containing vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folic acid.
2. Protects Your Genes
Both young people and seniors with low levels of vitamin B12 experience a high rate of gene damage, which accelerates cell aging and increases the risk of cancer. Michael Fenech, PhD, a researcher at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, found that supplemental B12 and folic acid reduced gene damage. Meanwhile, another study found that people who took vitamin B12 supplements had relatively long telomeres (the protective tips of chromosomes), compared with people who did not take the vitamin.
3. Enhances Cognitive Function
Low levels of vitamin B12 are considered a type of "nutritional anemia" and may result in fatigue, psychiatric disorders, mental fuzziness, and symptoms of senility. Every person with symptoms of senility or Alzheimer's disease should be tested for vitamin B12 levels—or simply be given sublingual tablets to see if they ease symptoms. Low vitamin B12 levels are common among people with early forms of Alzheimer's. Vitamin B12 may also boost mood. If you're experiencing a "down day" or the "blues" (something not serious enough to call depression), some nutritionally oriented physicians recommend 500 mcg of sublingual B12 along with 500 mg of L-tyrosine.
What to Take
The official recommended amount of vitamin B12 for adults is a scant 2.4 mcg. Because aging and common over-the-counter and prescription drugs interfere with B12, it is likely worthwhile to take larger amounts, such as 500 to 1,000 mcg daily. Vitamin B12 is exceptionally safe.
Many different drugs interfere with the absorption or assimilation of vitamin B12, setting the stage for often-unrecognized deficiencies. These drugs include heartburn and acid-blocking medications, antibiotics, and oral contraceptives. Nitrous oxide, often used in anesthesia, destroys vitamin B12. A three-year study described in the British Medical Journal found that the longer people with diabetes took the drug metformin (Glucophage), the more likely they were to experience vitamin B12 deficiency.
A study in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that relatively large amounts of supplemental vitamin B12 are needed to correct a deficiency. The vitamin depends on a molecule called "intrinsic factor" for absorption through the gut. Sublingual (under the tongue) B12 supplements seem to work as well as injections and bypass the need for intrinsic factor.
TWINLAB MEGA B-12 DOTS dissolve quickly under the tongue for instant delivery. Each natural cherry-flavored dot provides 500 mcg of vitamin B12.
NATURE's PLUS SHOT-o-B12 cherry-flavored liquid gives you 5,000 mcg of supercharged vitamin B12 in each serving—the highest available potency.
THE VITAMIN SHOPPE SUBLINGUAL B-12 delivers 1,000 mcg of B12 per dose. The fast-dissolving lozenges ensure optimal absorption and benefit.

The new Volvo VNL brings cutting-edge drive-train technology, unparalleled safety systems and class-leading driver comfort to a long haul truck that delivers up to 7.5% increased fuel efficiency. But who cares about that? 3-year-old Joel Jovine, a truck enthusiast, not only unboxed the full-size truck, like it was something from Mattel, but he also made the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest item ever unboxed.
By the way, under the world records rules, to set the record, the box had to completely encapsulate the Volvo VNL and then needed to be opened manually, using no tools. It also had to be removed from the box without destroying the box during the process. Pretty impressive considering this is a three year old we're talking about.
Pretty cool for what is essentially a stationery truck on display for most of the spot. The best parts are when Joel discovers what's inside the cabin including a sippy cup and something on the tV Just for him, plus that big comfy bed. Great way to show enthusiasm over a commercial truck. When the real truck driver shows up to give him a ride, I was hoping they would ditch the suburbs for a lifetime on the road, evading southern cops and helpin' ladies, maybe even picking up a friendly dog on the way. But alas, they had to put young Joel to bed or he'd get cranky.

L.D. Bell Senior - Cameron
This was a fun first in my photography career. Cameron was the first senior I've had the opportunity to photograph from my Alma Mater! And he's only graduating a decade after me (WOW I'm getting old!)
Another cool thing about photographing Cameron: He was a Drum Major for the L.D. Bell Band. My time in the Bell band was truly the start of my creative career, and some of my best high school memories come from the time I spent with the friends I made in band!
All this to say, it was great working with Cameron and hearing about his recent experiences with the band program. He was also incredible easy to photograph! We chose to start our session outside the Meyerson Symphony Center, and walked the Dallas Streets for a few hours, finding some great hidden corners of Dallas that I've never shot before!
I shot most of this session with the Nikon D810 and only 2 lenses: The 85mm 1.8G and the 28mm 1.8G. I absolutely love the versatility and quality provided by this setup. The Westcott Rapid Box once again helped create dramatic lighting with ease on and otherwise fairly overcast day.

Katie + Dan - Vineyard Inspired Wedding
Katie and Dan originally wanted a wedding in the Napa Valley, but with too many logistics to sort out, they brought the Napa Valley to Manitoba, and I don't think they could have done it any better. With white, grey, and so much green, this wedding became my new dream wedding. Seriously. It was a pleasure to provide a seating chart, large signs, and place cards for this beautiful day, and to work alongside many talented vendors like Divine Weddings, Stonehouse Creative, and Kamp Photography.

When it comes to highlight the color of your beautiful eyes, the secret is to choose the right eye shadow colors. To make your eye stand out, the eye shadow needs to draw much attention to your brown, blue, green or hazel eyes. You should intensify the eye colors by using contrasting hues. So what are the best eyeshadow colors for eyes of different colors exactly?
Brown Eyes. Most of the eye shadow colors will fit the brown eyes. But neutral shades like salmon and bronzy gold will accentuate the brown eyes. You can blend with black shadows to increase the intensity no matter what colors you are going to apply.
Blue Eyes. Complement your cool blue eyes with light or neutral tones. Avoid harsh things like a dark or smoky looks. Go for softer and tonal like coral and champagne. They will highlight your blue eyes but not distract them.
Green Eyes. Green eyes are naturally bright enough, you don't have to rely on vivid eye shadow colors to attract more attention. If you are going out at night, a mute purple is a perfect choice for your green eyes. During the day, a shimmery brow is fair enough.
Hazel Eyes. A palette of metallic and pastels is a wonderful choice for hazel eyes. Heavy and smoky shades will hide green and gold, but the delicate metallic or dusty pink will totally intensify the flecks and make the hazel eyes shine.
Want a palette that matches different eye colors? Want all of the color is practical to be used everyday? VERONNI 9 Colors Eyeshadow Palette is what you expect! Glitter, Diamond, Naked, Smoky all in one. 46% off and free-shipping now, only $9.99!

Assault Rifles and Turkey (Opinion)
Thanksgiving—the holiday that brings families together for one awkward meal. The conversations are normally the same; expectations are normally met. My Thanksgiving was no different except for one simple fact: I held an assault rifle.
My family is by no means the norm in that we all mostly share the same liberal views. There are no Trump supporters at the table, perhaps a Bernie supporter here and there. Despite our left lean, my cousin has an arsenal of nine firearms ranging from the tiny .22 caliber to the ultimate killing machine: the AR-15. As I stood there in our liberal household, holding the same model rifle which had taken the lives of practically every mass shooting victim, I had the closest thing a 20 year old can have to an epiphany. In my uncle's basement, I realized that these guns were not going anywhere.
A Gallup poll taken last October shows that thirty six percent of Americans support the banning of assault rifles and this number is steadily declining. In fact, more Americans approve of the ability to own assault rifles than they have in the last twenty years. Ironically, in the last twenty years, there has been an immense spike in both the frequency and the horrifying lethality of mass shootings. It is no coincidence that the rise in the accessibility of assault weapons has accompanied the rising death tolls. These weapons were designed to kill people fast and efficiently on the battlefield. In fact, that is what makes them so popular.
This popularity cuts across party lines. As someone who does not see the appeal of owning a weapon of war, even I could not help but feel its power when it rested unloaded in my hands. As morbid as it may be, this feeling seemed as American as Thanksgiving turkey. It felt as if the weapon I held was just an innocuous hobby. As much as I did not want to feel this way, I did.
In the past few years the intensity of mass shootings have gone up, yet our elected officials have done nothing in response. Many blame the massive purse of the NRA. While this definitely has a major role to play in influencing congressmen and women to curb gun control, it is us, the American people who are to blame. We have become desensitized to the violence.
Mass shootings are not the norm in any developed country other than the United States. We stand alone with bashing our heads in with football and shooting each other with assault rifles. As bleak as it may be, AK-47s and AR-15s will be ever present and as long as there is a Constitution. According to another Gallup poll taken in 2017, forty two percent of Americans have a gun in their home. Congress has shown that despite the carnage, they will not budge. It is time for the American people to accept that guns are an undeniable part of our country whether or not its logical.

Anchovies are abundant in the Mediterranean, and are regularly caught on the coasts of Sicily, Italy, France, and Spain.Today they are used in small quantities to flavour many dishes. Because of the strong flavor, they are also an ingredient in several sauces, including Worcestershire sauce, remoulade and many fish sauces, and in some versions of Café de Paris butter.The strong taste that people associate with anchovies is due to the curing process. Fresh anchovies, known in Italy as alici, have a much milder flavor.

Houston Dynamo 4, Sporting Kansas City 4 | MLS Match Recap
HOUSTON - Benny Feilhaber crushed a 23-yard blast in the dying moments to snatch a point for Sporting Kansas City in a thrilling 4-4 draw with the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Up a man and pushing for an equalizer after conceding in the 84th minute, Feilhaber scored his second goal of the night by putting his laces through the ball from distance and securing a bruising point for the visitors. Feilhaber's late heroics erased what looked like a deciding goal from Dynamo newcomer Raul Rodriguez, the Spanish acquisition who rushed the near post to head home a Brad Davis free kick in the 84th minute.
Rodriguez's goal looked to erase the impact of a poor back pass from teammate Giles Barnes which led to one Sporting KC goal and a controversial handball called on the Dynamo's Jermaine Taylor which triggered his red card and a Sporting KC penalty kick goal.
Feilhaber converted the 80th minute PK to tie the match at 3-3. It was awarded after Taylor was ruled to have handled a Krisztian Nemeth attempt on goal. Replays showed the ball may have come off Taylor's chest, but referee Kevin Stott pointed to the spot and showed the Jamaican international a red card.
Dom Dwyer opened the door for Feilhaber's equalizer, pouncing on an ill-advised back pass from Barnes and, after a failed cut-out attempt from Deric, slotted a shot into the open net at the 74-minute mark.
Before his blunder, Barnes looked to be the early hero. He scored in both halves, bookending a Will Bruin goal for a 3-1 lead as the home side erased an early Sporting KC goal.
Barnes' first came after Houston went down 1-0 to a third-minute Nemeth goal, as he punished a scuffed clearance from Sporting KC midfielder Servando Carrasco. The ball landed in the path of Barnes, who sliced the half-volley past SKC goalkeeper Luis Marin to pull the game level.
Barnes struck again less than a minute into the second half, driving up field and taking a shot from roughly 22 yards out. Marin was slow to react and was beat to near post to give Houston a 3-1 lead.
The two Barnes goals sandwiched Bruin's strike which gave Houston a 2-1 lead just before the end of an action-filled, bruising first half.
Bruin, making his third start of the season, bulled his way to the near post through a crowd of players. Davis, who had two assists on the night to move into third-place among all-time MLS assists leaders, set up the chance by delivering a pinpoint corner kick and Bruin opened his 2015 account with a flick off the back of his head.
Nemeth got the night started quickly, scoring three minutes into the game. Houston turned the ball over, allowing Nemeth to eventually pick the ball up and charge toward goal. The forward met no resistance from the retreating Dynamo defense and fired accurately from 25-yards to the far post to claim an early 1-0 road lead.
Houston next renew the Texas Derby with FC Dallas at home on Friday night (8 pm ET, Univision Deportes Network). Sporting KC continue by taking on the Chicago Fire next Sunday (5 pm ET, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and TSN1).

PromoDek® Powershop – Cub Cadet 2018 Dealer Convention
Every year the leading brand in outdoor power equipment, Cub Cadet, organizes a dealer convetion to meet with their dealers and resellers. This year Windo Displays was invited to showcase the very successful Cub Cadet PromoDek® PowerShop!
For Cub Cadet the dealer convention is the time to engage with their large dealer and reseller network. To listen and share information, to spend quality time and exchange thoughts, discuss new developments and the company strategy. This year there was not only a European delegation of resellers invited, but MTD Europe, Cub Cadet's mother company, presented themselves at the dealer convention. Showing the success of the Cub Cadet brand in Europe.
As Windo Displays we were fortunate to participate and be able to show the award winning Cub Cadet PowerShop concept to the US market. The PowerShop was developed in close cooperation with MTD Europe in order to improve brand recognition at the dealerships. The so called Powershop consists of a PromoDek® flooring solution in combination with vertical backdrops.
The PowerShop was specially designed for Cub Cadet as a shop in shop solution. Building the Cub Cadet brand and promoting products by lifting them up above the competitors products.
Imagine crowded showrooms with numerous equipment sometimes including those of the competition. How can you make your brand stand out? How can you claim your brands presence the way marketing prefers? Using PromoDek® means great visual impact by using creative graphics in an outstanding promotional platform which is easily sizeable to fit the available space. Integrating vertical backdrops completed the presentation.
For the brand it means visibility and a clear statement. For the reseller it means having a high quality durable promotional platform from a leading brand in the industry. It's good looking, has a high visual impact and adds to the professional presentation of the reseller. It was good to learn form the European resellers present in Nashville that they appreciated the PowerShop concept. Some of which belonged to the early users having their PromoDek® platform installed over two years ago.
Since its introduction almost 500 PowerShops were successfully distributed throughout Europe. Without the need for a single professional for installation. For me it was good to learn that the US resellers loved the PowerShop concept. Talking to the MTD US marketing people also led to positive feedback.
It was really great to feel part of the big Cub Cadet family. Even as a vendor you're appreciated for what you mean to the brand. We look forward to a close continued relationship for the years to come!
Arthur Diephuis – Managing Director of Windo Displays
Besides showcasing the Cub Cadet PowerShop we also got to display how our other products can be used to promote MTD equipment. Have a look at our Flickr account for some pictures of the brand new FloorCaster® Pro, the FloorWindo®, the DeskWindo® and B-line™ 2 in action!

SAY NO TO CONOCARPUS- Plant better trees in Karachi!
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
Karachi has been experiencing extreme climatic conditions for the past few years. The heat in summers, sadly, takes away many lives every year. There are many reasons behind this drastic climate change. Improper disposal of solid waste including plastics, (usually the solid waste is set on fire to reduce the size and then disposed off in open sewage drains), excessive usage of carbon containing fuels, Conocarpus trees throughout the city and general urbanisation are just to name a few. Amidst all of the above, Conocarpus trees are acting as a slow poison. Planted about 8-9 years ago, these trees have now taken over the city. Initially what was meant to make a greener Karachi, has contributed hugely to a drastic climatic shift in the atmosphere of Karachi. The rainfall is scarce, the summer heat wave kills many people annually, the winters are barely cold. The reason behind this is Conocarpus. This is a tree, native to the coastal regions of Florida, Bahamas, Galapagos Islands and some parts of Africa. It's biology is not suited to the climate of Karachi or South Asia generally. Hence, it takes up most water and moisture from the environment leaving it dry and hot to the point where it becomes unbearable. Trees like Neem, Gulmohar, Jungle Jalebi, Amaltas, Coconut, Cheeku, Peepal, Lignum etc are best suited to the environment of Karachi. It is high time we realised and contributed to changing our city for better, for our own future. This heat wave can kill you and me too, if we don't act now to stop it! Because if we won't, no one would! I petition for the removal of Conocarpus from the city and plantation of native trees for the betterment of the climate of Karachi.

You just have to look at the television to see the resurgence of Bingo as a pastime. One thing we often see in these adverts though is a female dominated form of entertainment that men don't really take part in. Is this an old stereotype though?
It seems it maybe, especially with the rise of online Bingo. What we tend to forget is that Bingo is actually fun, and the fact that it doesn't challenge the player too much makes it all the more interesting. It seems these days that men are just as likely to play a quick game of bingo on their mobile phones than women.
Bingo has also turned into something of a social phenomenon, and is seen as a good night out. While sometimes we see Bingo put on screen showing old people playing it in retirement homes, the truth is there has been plenty of innovation in this form of entertainment to liven things up. Add some music and freshen up the way the game is called, and suddenly things a lot more interesting.
Imagine having all of the best and most up-to-date bingo information available at your fingertips! That's what Wink Bingo has created with their newest release, the 24hr Online Bingo Dashboard. Wink Bingo has teamed up with some of the best in the industry to bring bingo players like you live stats that you'll have to see to believe. From tracking the biggest paydays to following all of the modern trends, the bingo dashboard gives you a peak behind the scenes of the bingo world and what makes it tick.
Through partnerships with over half a dozen different bingo reporting sites including Bingo Reviewer, Bingo Trivia, Gambling Commission and Who Plays Bingo, the bingo dashboard always features the freshest and most current information. All of the data is updated every 24 hours, providing you with executive level bingo secrets that in previous years would've cost companies a fortune to have access to!
Bingo by the Numbers
Wild Party Bingo is the latest Bingo app to offer something the gaming world has never seen before. Known as the 'world's most social bingo game', the app aims to make online bingo more interactive, fast-paced and exciting. The app's creators, Asylum Labs, understand that in the 'real world', bingo is a highly sociable game and the company decided to integrate this concept into its online equivalent. As such, Asylum Labs' philosophy is clear and simple: everything is more fun with friends – a key attraction of club bingo.
There's no 'I' in team
A dedicated Mecca Bingo employee from the Sale Mecca club is celebrating 40 years of service this month.
Marilyn Hanrahan started her career with Mecca Bingo in 1975, where she began her journey through the company. Marilyn is now a Senior Assistant and has had the pleasure of watching Mecca Bingo grow and change over the past 40 years.A favourite memory for Marilyn is the last grand opening at Mecca Bingo in Sale, as she fondly remembers all her colleagues and customers were "singing and dancing all day and night."
Marilyn commented: "There have been a lot of changes over the years, especially the changes in food and Mecca Bingo did not have waitresses back when I started.
With the countdown to EAG 2016 is very much underway how was the 2015 earlier this year?
Preparations for EAG 2016 are progressing well and the outlook is for another significant event. EAG 2016 occupies its traditional dates in the calendar taking place will take place from 12th-14th January.
EAG International is now an established event in a mature market attracting buyer and specifiers from all over the world. As you would expect the UK represents a large section of the audience but EAG is exceptional in attracting over 25% of buyers from some 60 countries around the world. After the UK, the countries with most visitors were Italy, Republic of Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Greece, Netherlands but we welcome guests from as far afield as Iceland, Korea and even the Faroe Islands.
'What's new' for the 2016 show?
Over the last decade, online bingo has defensibly gained much more popularity than the traditional bingo halls. This industry is solely worth millions in the UK and is expected to encounter an exploding growth in the near future.
Here we have some justifiable reasons on why online bingo has been so enticing for all the players around the globe. The reasons can vary from player to player, depending on their preferences.This modern bingo allow the players to access or play a game from their own conveniences and even on the move. These benevolent changes makes it quite evident for everyone to prefer and enjoy online bingo.
Another favorable reason behind the player's willingness to play online bingo is the social aspect attached to it. They get to meet and connect with a lot of like minded people and make some new friends throughout this bingo journey.
All the Independent clubs have now received their fund-raising packs, which include balloons, collection tins, Gold Hearts to sell, and a list of Challenge Events they can take part in as well as a leaflet with lots of fund-raising activities on.
Gala and Mecca will be joining the rest of the industry in fund-raising early September, in the meantime Carlton have kicked off their activity. From 16th March for one week Carlton held a number of co-ordinated events across clubs including free games and draws and staff sponsored events which helped raise over £6,000 in the first week.
Local Mecca Doncaster team leader, Lucy Coy, is celebrating after being named regional charity champion for Yorkshire and the Humber, in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal, for her contributions towards charity Carers Trust.
The event, held at The Royal Horseguards Hotel in London, celebrated the whopping £500,000 raised for the charity in the last year. The partnership between the charity and The Rank Group Plc, which owns Mecca and Grosvenor Casinos, began in February 2014 and saw clubs take part in a host of different activities to raise much-needed funds.

Investing 101 … with a dinosaur
When did investing become a thing for the linguistically complicated?
Investing doesn't have to be that complicated. I believe most have the ability to understand the concepts, they're just intimidated by the terms and "cool" abbreviations being thrown around.
"I invested in Lime's seed with 20% carry as lead for AL syndicates but there were enumeration clauses that really messed with my pies."
(a few of those aren't real… can you guess which?)
Since I work at the leading equity crowdfunding platform, I had a real opportunity to reach investors and educate them. Education is one of our key tenants.
So, I created Dino, a first time entrepreneur on his journey to raise funding for his telescope startup, Astro. Because why can't investing be fun and casual? Ditch the dictionary, let's do this pictionary-style.
I also want to use this as an opportunity to educate our investors at Wefunder about how to be a good investor and how to spot a good founder. Weekly dino comics in the making. Stay tuned.

These Clean Eating Jalapeno Kale Chips are another healthy snack alternative for you using a kale and jalapeno combination.
All my ideas for kale chips come from combining plain kale chips with one of my homemade dressings.
Like my Lemon Dill Kale Chips and Habanero Kale Chips, these were created from my Clean Eating Creamy Jalapeno Dressing recipe.
Making your own homemade snacks are so much healthier than buying highly processed store-bought snacks.
Here's the ingredients for a popular store-bought jalapeno chip:
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Lay's Extra Crunchy Jalapeno Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
Ingredients: Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Maltodextrin, Salt, Dextrose, Onion Powder, Yeast Torula, Whey, Spices, Monosodium Glutamate, Garlic Powder, Flavors Natural and Artificial, Corn Starch Modified, Peppers, Jalapenos, Soybean Oil Partially Hydrogenated, Paprika, Extractives (source)
FoodFacts.com Rating: 'F"
They are filled with GMO corn starch, soybean oil, maltodextrin and also contains MSG (monosodium glutamate).

Cucumber assault, and pickling, continue!
July 15, 2017
Assault of the cucumbers continues unabated, so I made an attempt to work my way through some of them today.
I thought I'd given this latest harvest, some 10 pounds of cucumbers, away, but in the haste and hustle to get us and all the needed accoutrements out to AGC 2's birthday party last night (A fine time was had by all; icing was smeared liberally, much juice was consumed, and gift bags were ripped asunder with glee), I failed to put them outside for my friend to pick up. So I've still got these:
As well as about twice that many that I picked today. I've decided I'm going to try to make the classic half-sours, a fermented pickle, with the rest, and maybe a quick batch of cucumber salad. And then I'll start trying to give them away again, because, y'know what? The zucchini are about to start up.

Wizard's Crown
|Wizard's Crown
|Strategic Simulations
|Strategic Simulations
|Paul Murray
Keith Brors
|Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, IBM PC, Apple II, Commodore 64
|Role-playing video game
Wizard's Crown is a 1986 top-down role-playing video game published by Strategic Simulations.[1][2] It was released for the Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, IBM PC compatibles, Apple II, and Commodore 64. Its sequel, The Eternal Dagger, was released in 1987.
Academic Matt Barton describes Wizard's Crown as "probably the most hardcore RPG of its time" and "one of the most sophisticated tactical CRPGs ever designed".[3] The object of the game is to rescue a magical crown from Tarmon, a wizard who sealed himself and the crown in his laboratory 500 years previous.
The video game design and programming was done by Paul Murray and Keith Brors, game development by Chuck Kroegel and Jeff Johnson, and the rulebook created by Leona Billings. Wizard's Crown was the first RPG designed in-house by SSI, previously known as a wargame company. Its detailed tactical combat system came from Murray and Brors's background in wargaming, and they brought the complexity of those games to Wizard's Crown's tactical combat. For instance, shields block attacks only from the front and left (shielded) side, and not from the rear and right (unshielded side). Spears can attack two squares away, flails ignore the defender's shields, and axes have a chance of breaking shields. There is an option for "quick combat", and regular combat can take as long as 40 minutes per encounter. This combat system influenced SSI's later Gold Box series of RPGs, but it was streamlined and simplified.[3]
The class system is based on a point buy system, possibly influenced by the tabletop role-playing games RuneQuest and Traveller. Characters buy classes and skills using Intelligence points. The classes are thief, ranger, fighter, priest and sorcerer, each possessing a distinct set of skills. Characters can have any number of classes, but mixing classes slows advancement. Up to eight characters can be created in a single party. Experience is spent directly on skills, attributes and life points. When a skill level is very low, gains are quick and easy, but they become slow and difficult to raise after reaching high levels. The magic system works like other skills and features a chance of failure based on skill level.[3]
The game is also memorable for its magic weapons, for example, the Storm Longsword or Doom Battleaxe. There are three special series of weapons which can be enchanted to become progressively more powerful:
- The 'Magic' series of weapons does pure magical damage ("injuries") and progresses under the names of 'Magic, Frost, Flaming, Lightning and Storm'.
- The 'Plus' series of weapons cause extra bleeding, which would cause an opponent to pass out ("The opponent lies unmoving") but not die outright. For example, if all player characters pass out from excessive bleeding in a battle, you lose the battle, but are given a chance to heal them up in camp afterwards. These weapons are designated with "+1, +2, +3, +4, +5".
- The 'Life Blast' series of weapons are the most powerful in the game. They do direct damage to life points, and a character who is taken out by these weapons is killed; you cannot revive them except with a resurrection spell. These weapons progress with the names 'Dark, Doom, Soul, Demon and Death'.
SSI sold 47,676 copies of Wizard's Crown in North America,[4] and it was the company's second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987.[5] Compute! in 1986 favorably reviewed Wizard's Crown, describing it as "probably the most unusual fantasy game to hit the market in some time". Citing its graphics and detailed combat, the magazine stated that the game "that will excite and challenge even the most seasoned veteran of fantasy warfare".[6] Computer Gaming World's Scorpia admired the game's use of injuries and bleeding in simulating combat, but believed there was too much emphasis on hack and slash, with only a few trivial puzzles and almost no interaction between the party and anyone else beyond buying, selling, and killing.[7] In 1993 Scorpia was more positive, describing it as a "better-than-average hack'n'slash ... a good game for the bash'em crowd".[8] A.N.A.L.O.G. was also positive, in 1986 calling the Atari version "superb ... a true gem, an addictive game which you'll find yourself playing day in and day out".[9] The game was reviewed in 1986 in Dragon #114 by Hartley and Pattie Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers "recommend this offering as one that truly presents a most positive view of fantasy role-playing as played on a computer system."[10] In a subsequent column, the reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[11] Antic's review was mixed, stating that Wizard's Crown "throws in a few new tricks of its own" but "is mostly old wine in new bottles". The magazine concluded that "Wizard's Crown is okay. But I probably would have enjoyed it more if I felt that I was really controlling the characters—not just watching random-number generators at work."[12]

Your entry point into Europe: Reach international content and European networks
Where going further north makes no sense
Lisbon is the place where the sea cables from Western Africa and South America first hit the European continent. It is the perfect place to enter Europe and exchange traffic instead of going further north. With access at DE-CIX Lisbon, networks can peer with all networks that are connected at DE-CIX Madrid (GlobePEER Remote service). This means you get two exchanges with one access and, from the start, more than 140 networks are available for peering.
The first customers are online at DE-CIX Lisbon and peer with each other, and more networks are in the process of getting connected.
Save costs, reduce latency, and improve your network quality
Connecting in Lisbon instead of London saves transport and colocation costs and massively reduces latency. Bypassing London spares you at least 30 milliseconds round-trip time (RTT). European networks and international content are already present, more will come, and you can peer with 140+ networks in Madrid from day one.
The center of gravity goes south
Starting with DE-CIX Madrid, DE-CIX became active in developing the digital ecosystem on the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula is the new center of gravity where networks meet instead of going all the way further north to reach European networks and international content providers. DE-CIX Madrid is the fastest-growing IX worldwide, and with Lisbon as a complementary sea cable hub just milliseconds away, the digital ecosystem on the Iberian Peninsula will further grow and flourish.

To help us continuously improve patient care at Piedmont Healthcare, we constantly assess our program efficiency and patient care outcomes. Below are a few of the metrics that we closely track and why they matter to patients, family, caregivers and all members of each patient's care team.
Length of Stay is the number of nights that you stay in the hospital. The patient's length of stay is based on many variables, including:
At Piedmont Healthcare, our customized joint replacement aftercare programs are focused on activities of daily living and ambulation or your ability to begin to walk after surgery. To be effective in this process we employ an evidence based, effective pain management program and a proactive approach of getting patients moving as soon as possible – called "early ambulation". This program is carefully monitored by experienced physical therapists and nurses.
A shortened length of stay is one good indicator that the hospital and physician teams are delivering efficient care with limited surgical complications. Piedmont Healthcare currently has an average length of stay that is less than the Medicare Benchmark of about 3 days. That means nearly 70% of all of our patients go home after two nights or less in the hospital! While we strive to make your experience in the hospital comfortable and enjoyable, we also know that the majority of your recovery for this procedure will be at home. Our goal is to provide a smooth transition that allows you to get back to the comfort of your familiar surroundings.
A hospital readmission is defined as patient admission to a hospital within 30 days after being discharged from an earlier hospital stay. The standard benchmark used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the 30-day readmission rate. This readmission rate is calculated as an "all cause" readmission. This means that hospital readmissions can be associated with post-operative complications related to the total joint procedure or any other unrelated cause such as general medical conditions that require in-patient treatment, post-operative problems and other reasons.
To limit your risk for hospital readmission, our standard process is to help you develop a care plan that optimizes your readiness for surgery and coordinates home preparation, hospital care and post-operative care - whether at home or in a skilled nursing or post-acute care facility. We want you to do well so we will keep you in the hospital as long as you need and partner with you in creating a home environment in which you can be successful. Our goal is to develop a care plan that will get you efficiently through your surgery and keep you well while on your road to full recovery.
Following your hospital stay, you may receive a survey in the mail. The HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey contains 21 questions that focus on the patient perspective of care. The survey covers nine key topics:
We hope you will complete and return the survey. We value your feedback and it helps us continuously improve and identify opportunities to make the patient experience better. Our goal is to make your stay as safe, comfortable and short as possible.
A hospital with better HCAHPS scores is interpreted as a center where patients would generally prefer to receive their care. We pay close attention to this as an indication of how we are doing at both preparing you prior to your surgery, managing your comfort levels after your surgery and providing you with an exceptional patient experience.

I roamed my pinterest boards for a quote I felt like I could share confidently and I found this gem tucked away in one of my boards near the end.
"I don't know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving." – John Green
I don't even know where I want to begin with this one, to be honest.
Before my momma got really sick I was in a spot in my life where I was pretty quick to judge someone on their character upon how they were acting directly in that moment. Snappy responses to the checkout clerk, exasperated replies to the waiter who was interrupting too frequent. It was easy to make a quick judgement right there on the spot on someone's character not knowing the first thing about them or their life.
But then some big shitty life things happened and I understood.
There are numerous things that cause stress, worry and anxiety in everyone's lives. Am I saying it's okay to snap at people? Nope, not one bit. I don't have a great day everyday and sometimes I'm less than pleasant to deal with. I hope others will treat me with grace and understanding on those days as I remember my very best to return the favor to others. I check myself, daily and some days I check myself every time I'm interacting with people and I begin to make those judgements.
We're all doing life together and life gets shitty, there is no way to get around that. The days or moments that bring out a little devil in you may be the days you just need some understanding from a stranger.
Each of us are worth loving because one brief interaction does not define who we are as a person.

"I saw a guy drop his Juul the other day. The teacher picked it up and handed it back to him, thinking it was a flash drive."
One of the high school students in a group counseling session told us this story just last week. And then every one of them went on to talk about the kids in their classes who were bringing their Juuls to school and using them in class.
The developers of these types of E-cigarettes called Juuls are brilliant, which is exactly why they've gone "viral" on high school and college campuses…which only means they'll do so in middle schools next. They are gadgets that look just like USB flash drives. They even charge when they're plugged into a laptop. They come in "kid friendly" flavors like mango, crème brulee, and fruit medley. One Juul contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. And they can also be filled with marijuana.
Kids are catching on, and as seems to happen so often today, we're not. We're believing that they're flash drives containing homework. If your child has a new flash drive, check it out. Talk to them about vaping and Juuls. Ask them if they're seeing them at school and what they think about them. Share with them the risks and potential dangers. You can read more about Juuls here
As always, we want to keep you not only educated, but in conversation with the kids you love. They need your input and they need your encouragement. We talk at them way too often without really hearing them. Ask questions first—questions that feel more like a conversation than an interrogation. Use empathy—talk about how hard it must be to grow up in the midst of all the things they're faced with on a daily basis. It really is…we hear about it every day in our offices. Think before you talk with them about places you've seen maturity and strength in the life of your teenager. And tell them. We need to be catching them doing good. They need to know we believe in them. It helps them learn to believe in themselves, and to stand up for themselves and what they believe in the midst of so much pressure swirling about them.

This last month I thought I would turn my hand to trying some film developing. This impulse was fueled further by the fact New55 had produced a new type of film developer called R5 Monobath. You can find the developer here: https://shop.new55.net/collections/frontpage/products/r5-monobath-developer
The Monobath from New55 is super simple to use and really loves 35mm. I never really got to give it a fair run on 120 film and plan on doing so later next month. I developed several types of film through it, Kodak TX400, Kodak TMax and some Ilford HP5 400 Plus too. I managed to get about 6 rolls in total out of it on the last roll the developing was really flat and I had to modify it a lot in Photoshop to compensate.
It's super simple to use and produced some good results, i am going to explore the Kodak D76 developer next month and will try to write about that on here too.
I have been reading up on the D76 Developing and it seems to be a lot more involved compared to the R5, but cannot compare the finished results yet. It will be interesting to see how they contrast and compare.
I shot all of the following photographs on my Leica M7 with a 40mm f2 lens. I did experience a strange situation with the Leica and the Ilford HP5 film; it kept jamming up at frame 20/25 on a 36 exposure roll. At first I thought there was something wrong with the camera, but when I ran Kodak film through it, it worked seamlessly. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, if so, please share as I still have not ascertained what is happening.
Thanks for following and hope you give the New55 a go, it's about $25 per container, shipping is a little high, so I think i will save up and buy a few more containers to make the shipping worth it.

Entering its fourth season, the Pro Continental team accepted one of four wildcard invitations in January to compete in the 2018 Giro d'Italia, its first Grand Tour event. This year the team has an expanded roster of 24 riders representing 15 countries. Among the five riders from Israel, Roy Goldstein is the reigning road race national champion. Tyler Williams is the only American on the team. The 23-year-old Californian who rode previously for Axeon Hagens Berman, finished second at Paris-Roubaix Espoirs. Also 23 years of age, Krists Neilands had a stage win last year at Tour of Azerbaijan and won the Latvian national road race championship. The team features several riders with Grand Tour wins, Kristian Sbaragli (Italy) with a stage win at 2015 Vuelta a España, and Ruben Plaza (Spain) with a stage win at 2015 Tour de France.

In-Running Wagering: What's the Best Strategy?/
With services such as Betfair now offering in-running wagering opportunities, the ability to accurately assess a team's chances of victory at any given point in a game is now of considerable commercial value.
Imagine, for example, that your team, who are at home, lead by 18 points at the first change. Would a wager on them at $1.40 be advised?
In an earlier blog I built a model with which you could estimate the probability of a home team victory at any point in a game using the home team's lead or deficit at that point and the proportion of the game that had elapsed. I then proceeded to assess the quality of the model in a fairly qualitative way by comparing its probabilistic predictions with the outcomes of actual games.
There are a couple of other more quantitative approaches that we could take to assessing the quality of that model. If we simply want a crude measure of the model's predictive accuracy we could calculate how often the model correctly predicts the winning team, and if we want a measure of the quality of the model's probability assessments we could calculate its probability score, much as we do for the HELP model.
The probability score I'll use for this assessment is the logarithmic one, which you might recall assigns a score of -log(1-p), where the log is base 2, to a probabilistic prediction of p for an event which occurs. So, for example, if I assigned a probability of 0.7 to the winning team then I'd score -log(1-0.7) = 1.74 for my prediction but if, instead, I assigned a probability of 0.2 I'd score -log(1-0.2) = 0.32. The score for any single prediction will range from 0 to Infinity and a naive tip, which is one where I assign a probability of 0.5 to the event, will score 1 no matter what the outcome.
For comparative purposes I'm going to pit the model against two other simple approaches. The first, which I'll call method (A) predicts that the favourite will win and assigns this outcome a probability equal to the price of the underdog divided by the sum of the price of the underdog and the price of the favourite. The second, which I'll unsurprisingly call method (B) will predict that the team that leads will go on to win and will assign this outcome a probability equal to the proportion of total points that the leading team has scored.
As well, I'll create two hybrid predictions, one of which is an optimally weighted mixture of the probability estimates produced by methods (A) and method (B), and another which is an optimally weighted mixture of the probability estimates produced by methods (A) and the model. By weighted mixture I mean that, for example, if method (A) assigns a probability of 0.6 to an event and method (B) assigns a probability of 0.5 to that same event, if we decide to use a 50:50 mixture of the two methods out probability assessment would be 0.55.
So, that's five prediction methods in all.
Here are the results for those five methods based on the predictive accuracy metric:
If, at the end of the first quarter, you blindly stick to the favourite, regardless of whether or not that team is leading or trailing, you'd correctly tip the winning team almost 67% of the time. It seems smarter, however, to take into account what's happened in that first quarter. One way to do that is to select whichever team leads at the first change and this would lift your predictive accuracy by a little over 1.5%.
You could also, instead, use the model we created earlier, which takes into account not just which team is in front, but by how much. This strategy would yield an accuracy of 69%.
With the hybrid or mixture strategies you could do even better, reaching 71.5% with an optimal combination of the first and second methods and 72.5% with an optimal combination of the first and third methods.
The results for the various strategies in relation to the scores at the ends of the second and third quarters are broadly similar excepting that the differences between methods (B) and (C) and between the two hybrid methods are quite small.
All of which goes to show that you could produce predictions with high accuracy using nothing more than the pre-game prices for both teams and the score at the end of any quarter.
Accuracy, however, is a very crude measure of performance. If a method produces a probability estimate greater than 50% for the eventual winner then it scores 1 for that game, and this is true if its probability estimate is 50.1% or 99.9%. Conversely, if the method produces a probability estimate less than 50% for the eventual winner then it scores 0 for that game, and this is true if its probability estimate is 49.9% or 0.1%. Such a metric doesn't give us much of an idea about how profitable a method might be if it were applied to in-running wagering.
For this purpose we need to turn to the second metric, the logarithmic probability score. Here are the results using that metric:
On this metric, a higher score connotes a better performance (and a score of 1 signifies a performance no better than guessing).
For making probabilistic predictions at the end of the first quarter, the best method combines the bookmaker's initial team prices with the predictions of our model (in about a 40:60 mix as it turns out). At the end of the second and third quarters, however, the difference between the performance of this mixture method and the method that simply uses the probability determinations of the model on their own is so small that it makes little difference which you choose.
In summary then, for in-running wagering, the best strategy would be to use the model predictions for the second half of the game and to use about a 40:60 mixture of the initial team prices and the model predictions for the first half of the game. Whether this would be a profitable strategy is an open question and one I'll look to address by following the progress of some of the in-running markets over the next few rounds.
My current hypothesis, based on casually observing a number of the in-running markets is that they adjust too slowly to underperforming favourites and too quickly to favourites that lead early. If that's right there should be value on offer for underdog teams. We'll see ...

The Yeastie Boys are a leading Kiwi craft brewery. The 'boys' are Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie, and they've been making beer since the late noughties from their base in Wellington (though the beers are actually commercially brewed down at the tip of South Island in Invercargill). These beers are now seen in the UK also, although these are UK-brewed (by Brewdog). They taste just as good. This beer was purchased and drunk in New Zealand.
Yeastie Boys Digital IPA
5.7% alcohol
Focused and citrussy with orange peel, grapefruit and spice. Clean malt character provides a neutral background for the vital, hoppy spicy notes to play. Very refreshing and complex. Finishes quite dry. This is a really nicely balanced, complex, flavoursome and refreshing IPA. 8.5/10

Cruise Vacation 2017
Cruising is my family's favorite way to vacation. There is something for everyone in my family to enjoy. The kids love the different activities provided in the kids club. As a bonus, we allow them to eat ice cream anytime they want (within reason). I love that we get to visit so many different countries. On this cruise, we visited the Dominican Republic, Grand Turks and the Bahamas. Other cruises have taken us to different parts of Mexico, Haiti, and Honduras. There's always a variety of onboard activities such as live shows, a spa, casino, wine tasting, yoga and movie nights. Cruises are easy to plan and allow us to vacation within our budget and see the world.
Have you considered cruising or have been on one? What is your favorite way to take family vacations?

In this blog series, I'll draw a card at random and use its energy and ideas to cook up five brain-sizzling creativity prompts. You can use these to think about particular situation you are experiencing, or as writing prompts to get your creative juices flowing, or simply as food for thought to fill an idle moment. You can journal these prompts, or just mull them over in your mind, meditate on them, workshop them collaboratively, or blog them (if you're sharing them somewhere, let me know in the comments below! I'd love to see what you come up with). I'll be using the Aquarian Tarot for this draw, so my comments will refer specifically to its imagery, but feel free to draw from a different deck if you prefer!
Our card this week? The Page of Cups.
Well, well, well. If there were to be a patron saint of creativity in the deck, the Page of Cups is it. The Page of Cups usually crops up to tell us that we're being stuffy in our thinking, too conservative and stale. This Page advises us to bring in a little bit of Beginner's Mind (incidentally, here's a great article on the subject over at one of my favourite blogs, Zen Habits), and, if I can coin a spin-off term, Beginner's Heart, too. A perfect avatar for finding a fresh perspective to challenging situations!
1. Let's get warmed up by being playful. The Page of Cups challenges us to think about childhood, immaturity, and playfulness. Where do you stand on the matter? Are you a jumper of puddles, or quick to turn your nose up at kiddie behaviour? Imagine yourself at your silliest. Could that serve a purpose in an unlikely situation? How can you bring a little more of that lightness to your everyday?
2. The flipside of that Page of Cups youthful vigor is that sometimes, we really need to act like grown ups. Be honest! When was the last time you recall acting in a childish way when you should've been the adult, or perhaps accusing someone of childishness? In what situation would you be better served by letting go of immature whims? A friend and I joke about hitting the "abdicating from adulthood" button. Do you ever wish you could throw it all in and go back to being a kid?
3. All this talk of childhood is really a warm up to talking about that fish. What is going on there?! The fish is really what this card, and indeed this whole blog series, is about. The fish represents a moment of pure inspiration, unlikely genius, and thinking that is so outside the box it's like boxes don't even exist anymore (and yet, there's still water in that cup, so the fish makes a funny kind of sense). These prompts are designed to help you find your fish. Think back to the last time you had a truly radical creative idea. What was it, and where did it lead you?
4. In order to find fishes again in the future, it's useful to know what conditions attract fish. Remember that radical idea we just talked about? Reflect on the specific conditions you were in when you had that idea. What was your routine? Or were you out of your routine? Were you talking to someone, reading something, doodling, writing a letter? Think about what it is that gets your most inspired juices flowing. You might find it is something unexpected. Recognising what it is means you will be able to do more of it, which means more fish for you! Recommended reading on the subject of attracting fish can be found here and here (and when bookshopping, support your local indie bookseller when you can!).
5. Time to write a love letter. Who is the greatest fisherperson you know? Is it your favourite writer, a weird filmmaker, an inspired entrepreneur, a friend who never fails to amaze you with their ideas? What is it that you find so awe-inspiring about their thought processes and their work? Write them a missive, articulate for yourself what it is about them that knocks your socks off. You could even send it, if you like! Finally, do a little digging. Read about them, or ask them if you can. What makes them tick, and what can you learn from it?
Good luck, and happy fishing!
