NipsIt® SUITE Cereals Offers Solution to Growing Seedling Disease and Pest Problem
New Video Shows How North Dakota Growers Are Benefiting
October 6, 2015
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. &emdash; Northern Plains wheat growers try to answer two questions when determining which seed protectant to use: 1) What will protect their seed against key seedling diseases and insects? 2) What provides the best ease of use for seed treatment?
A new video, produced by Valent U.S.A. Corporation, helps answer these questions by profiling how growers utilize Nipsit SUITE Cereals in their small grain operations.
Acting as both a contact and super-systemic protectant, NipsIt SUITE Cereals provides "inside out" protection against diseases such as Rhizoctonia, Pythium and Fusarium. The additional NipsIt INSIDE® Insecticide also controls wireworms, aphids and other insects better than any other product on the market by combining three powerful active ingredients in one formulation.
"NipsIt SUITE Cereals is a premium solution for growers who want to maximize production by providing outstanding insect and disease control," said Tom Harris, seed protection market manager for Valent U.S.A. Corporation. "NipsIt SUITE is easy to use in all temperature conditions, which is a huge benefit to growers in the north whose temperatures may fluctuate 30 degrees on any given day of planting."
Recent independent research trials conducted near Scobey, Montana, indicate that using NipsIt SUITE Cereals increased yield by more than two bushels per acre compared to its closest competitor due to its excellent control of soil borne diseases and wireworm. These trials also indicated stronger plant stand.
"We've been using NipsIt, and that's been working really well," said Doug Opland, grower from Des Lacs, North Dakota. "In the mornings, it's 20 to 26 degrees, and it doesn't seem to matter. In the mornings, it works just as well as in the afternoon when it's 60."
In the following video, you'll hear about why North Dakota retailers recommend NipsIt SUITE Cereals and what they hear back from their growers who use it. You'll also hear from growers in that area about why they choose NipsIt SUITE Cereals as their wheat seed protectant. To view the video, click here.

Personal Branding for Beginners Workshop: Recap
On August 23rd, the Light Leaks teamed up with Rogue Sunday to host a workshop for women and gender non-conforming creatives looking to learn how to use their online presence to their career advantage. The event, which took place at Women Make Movies NYC, was led by Rogue Sunday founder Lily Herman and myself, Kim Hoyos. Lily and I gave presentations on the importance of online branding, with Lily's focusing on general do's and don'ts especially for networking and mine focusing on promoting your art online. The second half of the workshop was an interactive breakout session where each creative could have their respective social media profiles be critiqued. Lily, Lily's Rogue Sunday associates Elly Belle and Wandy Ortiz, and I led smaller groups to tackle specific questions and social media profiles. After the event, each attendee also received a premium trial of online learning site, Skillshare. Thanks, Skillshare!
It was a wonderful evening of creativity, questions, and personal growth in a safe environment. With supportive spaces like these, women and GNC folks of all ages, backgrounds, and career paths can learn from each other, inspire one and other, and understand that there is an audience for their work. I loved this event because it felt intimate. With around 20 people in the conference room, I could see everyone's faces while they took in information, learned from one another, and truly connected with those around them. That's what the Light Leaks is all about and seeing its effects offline is truly magical.
Keep an eye out for future events and check out some of the photos from the event.

Queenstown photographer Jackie Gay, of Still Vision Photography, officially launches Ink of Aotearoa, at Subculture, on Friday, October 15.
Several of her subjects will play acoustically during the public viewing.
Festivities will continue at the afterparty at Revolver, with performances by King Kapisi, the Nomad and guests.
Miss Gay, a photographer of four years, said the idea of capturing musicians and their intricate tattoos developed from her previous exhibition of people and their body art, called Images of Ink.
"I started on the concept 18 months ago and started by calling Queenstown musicians who were connected with the industry.
"They were instantly supportive and the first photo shoot was in the first week of January, in Nelson, with AJ [of Evolving Rhythms]."
Other acts featured with their instruments and tattoos in the Ink of Aotearoa calendar are Tha Feelstyle, Jahfire, Hollie Smith, King Kapisi, MC Antsman, of Rhombus, Stauny Pops, the Nomad, Joe Cowie, of Black Planet, TAOS, Cornerstone Roots, P-Digsss, of Peacekeepers, Shapeshifter and Sunshine Sound System.
The Nomad, a Christchurch-based DJ and producer, suggested an accompanying CD when he met Miss Gay during a Queenstown gig.
Miss Gay said each artist chose which track they contributed and the CD "flows amazingly".
"It's probably best described as easy listening New Zealand dub roots music.
"It gives out an extremely positive vibe."
A first run of 500 calendars has been printed and more will be made to order.
The calendars complete with CD cost $34.99.
Up to 84% of proceeds go back to the artists and the remainder to Miss Gay, as photographer and producer.
• Pre-release copies are available via the Ink of Aotearoa website and would be available from Paper Plus and Collective Hair salon after the launch on October 15.

Co-working: 5 reasons to do it
Are you tired of working from home? Sick of setting up in coffee shops? Maybe you're over the rigidity of long-term office leases? Time to consider co-working.
This change could be the inspiration you need to improve your quality of life and increase business productivity. Franky Law from Accrue Workplaces suggest five reasons co-working could be for you.
1. Networking and collaborating
Co-working gives you access to immediate networking opportunities, both professionally and personally. When you are co-working you will become part of a diverse community of professionals, from a variety of business sectors and walks of life. These communities are both encouraging and resourceful as members can trade services and support each other whenever possible.
2. Avoiding loneliness
Working from home can be restricting, lonely and quite frankly, boring. It is very easy for freelancers, consultants and entrepreneurs to suffer from loneliness, especially given the fact that it has become more and more common for people to work up to 12 hours days. By choosing to work in a co-working space, you will benefit from the interactions with the other members, social events and business events too.
3. Increased productivity
Sometimes, just getting up in the morning and dressing for work is enough to get you in "work mode" and facilitate a productive day. Many people who do not work in an office can get complacent, allowing distractions to reduce their productivity. By being part of a working community, you assign a certain amount of accountability, giving you incentive to dress right, arrive early and work hard. This can only benefit your business.
4. Flexibility
The traditional working environment stipulates a set structure, with regards to the day's tasks and hours whereas co-working encourages flexibility. A flexible environment with various seating options, meeting rooms and facilities, plus 24/7 access. In addition, there are no long term leases, with simple monthly rolling contracts.
5. Education opportunity and events
Co-working businesses actively encourage networking through a variety of community events. Business growth and quality of life are key to a successful community! This can increase marketing and revenue opportunities, as well as broadening your horizons through access to enriching material. You will have fast and easy access (mostly free) to interesting events and education opportunities ranging from lectures about entrepreneurship and startups, to yoga sessions and happy hours!
6. Hot-desking in Warwickshire

thewheelhouses.com – Coventry – centrally located modern workspace options for a shared office with dedicated desks and hot desks.

The laws of dividing property vary from state to state. As a starting point, however, most states allow parties to keep their own separate or nonmarital property. Nonmarital property includes property that a spouse brought into the marriage and kept separate during the marriage. It also includes inheritances received during the marriage and kept separate during the marriage. In addition, nonmarital or separate property may include gifts received by just one spouse during the marriage. A few states permit division of separate as well as marital property when parties divorce, but the origin of the property is considered when deciding who receives the property.
The right of a spouse to keep his or her separate or nonmarital property may depend on the degree to which the property was, in fact, kept separate. For example, if a wife came into a marriage with a $20,000 money market account and wanted to keep it as nonmarital property, she should keep the account in her own name and not deposit any funds earned during the marriage into the account. She should not, for instance, deposit her paychecks into the money market account, because the paychecks are marital funds and could turn the whole account into marital property. (Marital property will be explained in the next section.) The process of changing nonmarital property into marital property and vice versa sometimes is called transmutation (from Latin words meaning "cross" and "change").
Another example: If a husband inherits some stock from his mother during the marriage and he wants to keep it as nonmarital property, he should open his own investment account and should not use the account for any investments that he and his wife own together. If a husband or wife decides to use some nonmarital funds for a common purpose, such as purchasing a home in joint tenancy, that money normally will become marital property. The nonmarital property will be viewed by the courts of most states as a gift to the marriage.
Similarly, if a wife or husband takes nonmarital funds and places them in a joint checking account, the funds generally will become marital property. In some states, the presumption that funds placed in a joint account are marital property can be overcome by specific proof that the spouse depositing the funds did not intend to have the funds used for a marital purpose. Nonetheless, if a husband or wife does not want nonmarital property converted into marital property, it is best to keep the nonmarital property separate. Always.
Property distribution laws have many intricacies and variations between states; understanding them usually requires a lawyer's help. For example, in many states, the increase in value of nonmarital property (such as an investment account or a house that is held in the name of only one party) also would be nonmarital property. In some states, however, the increase in value would be marital property.

Where are you from ???
Recently a group of us were sitting around chatting
and a couple of folks said they had recently taken an online test that was a hoot.
How a hoot? you ask.
Well, it seems that this test will tell you where you are from.
It has to do with things you say and the way you say them.
It is the result of a Harvard linguistic study.
Being very skeptical about its validity the rest of us in the room broke down, went online, and took the test.
And guess what -- it was correct.
It even pegged me to the town where I live.
Who would have thought.
So, if you would like to try this out also

Conspiracy Theories About Sept. 11 Get Hearing in Germany
Distrust of U.S. Fuels Stories About Source of the Attacks
MUNICH, Germany -- Andreas von Bulow's book has climbed the German bestseller list, his lectures are jammed and, after two years of mounting frustration, his ideas are gaining traction.
His thesis: The U.S. government staged the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington to justify wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is a tentative theory, he admits, based mostly on his doubt that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist group launched the attacks. "That's something that is simply 99% false," he said at a reading...

Leigh Weber knows there is great potential for injury or death as a result of a cyber incident through an industrial control system.
That is why securing an industrial control system is so important, Weber said during his presentation Tuesday at the Yokogawa 2012 Users Group in New Orleans.
Yokogawa: Disavowing Air Gaps
Yokogawa: U.S. Emerging
ISASecure Means More Security
Flaw in Air Gap Philosophy
"While the statistics come from a small sampling, we found 5 percent of incidents resulted in injury or death," said Weber, senior security engineer at safety and security company, exida.
"There are a lot of people out there that have come up with means and methods to mess up your control system."
Some of the threats out there are:
• Software bugs
• Malicious software
• Unauthorized physical access
• Unauthorized network access
• Abuse
• Misuse
"Control system security is about preventing intentional and unintentional tampering of systems," he said.
Over the years, Weber has seen quite a bit and the level of sophistication just continues to keep rising.
"I have been creating software for 40 years and the kinds of attacks people are thinking of now are things we wouldn't even think of even five years ago," Weber said.
That means no matter what, control systems remain vulnerable. Not because of the new products that are coming out now, but because legacy systems were up and running long before the idea of cyber attacks was ever a thought in an attacker's mind.
Weber said to secure an industrial system a user should:
1. Asses existing systems
2. Document policies and procedures
3. Train personnel and contractors
4. Segment the control system network
5. Control access to the system
6. Harden components
7. Monitor and maintain system security
One other way to ensure a system is secure, he said, is to insist vendors comply with a form of security certification, like the ISASecure model.
"If you don't have a procurement policy that includes security, you won't get it," Weber said.
Weber said making sure companies comply and undergo the ISASecure process, will help ensure any system becomes much tougher.
"Security is a lot like political science, where if you have the word science in something, it is not science," Weber said. "Security is more like art."

Tinnitus is usually a temporary condition but for some people it becomes a way of life. They find that the incessant noise takes over their life and causes them to constantly suffer. But there is help available if you are willing to try. Take action against tinnitus by trying the tips below.
Join a tinnitus support group. Tinnitus can be a very disturbing and disabling problem. It is important that you have support from people who also suffer from this condition. A support group can give you tips on how to deal with tinnitus, as well as on how to figure out what makes yours worse.
If you suffer from frequent ringing in the ears, be sure to speak with your doctor about the medications that you are taking. Many people do not realize that a variety of different medications can cause tinnitus. If your medication is the cause, you may want to consider switching medications.
If you are hearing ringing sounds in your ears, try to remain calm. Generally, it will go away quickly, and nine times out of ten, it does not mean that you have anything serious. Whether or not you see a doctor, it might go away by itself, and it is definitely not much to worry about.
While the thought of a 20-minute catnap during the day is appealing, there is no such thing as a nap for tinnitus sufferers. Tinnitus is often linked with insomnia, so a nap will only leave you feeling somewhat groggy and not completely with it, when you try to go to bed for the night.
Visit your doctor for an ear cleaning if your tinnitus is bothering you. Wax can worsen tinnitus. By using cotton swabs in the ears, you can compact the wax against the ear drum, which will decrease tinnitus.
If you believe you might be afflicted with Tinnitus, but you're over 50 you should ask your doctor to test you for Meniere's Disease. This syndrome can afflict you with the same symptoms that Tinnitus can but is far more serious, therefore, a diagnosis is important to help treat it before it gets worse!
The ringing in your ears caused by tinnitus can keep you up late at night, but technology can help. There are many white noise generators which provide a variety of sounds for you to listen to, from a rainstorm to nighttime in a forest, which can drown out the sound in your ears.
Invest in a sound generator, and install it in close proximity to the head of your bed frame. The white noise emitted by these machines gives your brain something else on which to focus, so the tinnitus does not dominate your thoughts. When you don't obsess on the incessant noise, it almost seems to go away and the result could even be your getting a decent night's sleep.
As indicated earlier, tinnitus is usually a minor and temporary annoyance. But there are others who find it completely interferes with many aspects of their lives. There isn't a tip that can cure all cases but there are many tips that help different people. You have to be willing to give these different tips a chance and you may finally quiet the noise.

Patch to add preview-latex support
Adds preview-latex support and other miscellaneous cleanups
As an aside, I note no xemacs packages are currently generated (I realize an old
version of auctex ships with xemacs) - I recently worked out a simple scheme for
adding this capability to the muse package in FE - if you're happy, at a later
date I'll add xemacs support to the auctex package - let me know.
Hi Jonathan, I read (but did not test) your patches above and they look
good. I just don't have much time this week. So, here are two options:
1) you have CVS access to Extras so please (with my blessing!) feel free
to apply them to the FC-4/5, and devel branches and request builds
2) otherwise, please be patient and I'll look into it next weekend.
Is that OK?
Hi Ed,
I too am a little time starved for the next few days, but if I get chance I'll
apply the patches, and email you to let you know before hand, otherwise I'm
happy to be patient - I hope I wasn't appearing impatient, I understand the time
poverty situation :)
Also, I have just corresponded with the auctex author (David Karstrup) about the
changes to the spec file, and he's pointed out a few problems, mainly in that
the preview.sty shipped with auctex will conflict with that shipped with tetex
3.0. I'll continue to work on it, but it may be worth holding off adding my
patch to CVS at this point in time - will keep you updated.
Cool, that sounds good. I'll wait to hear back before applying these changes.
And thank you for looking into the preview bits. Its been requested by others
but just hasn't been a big enough priority for me to find the time.

Spec file for auctex which adds preview functionality
Hi Ed,
OK. Attached is a spec file which adds the preview stuff with the minimum of
changes. I think this is ready to push to FE now. Let me know if you want me to
do so, orif you're happy to do so.
In the next message I'll detail some things that we need to consider for the future.
OK. In comment #8 is a spec file which adds functional preview latex support
with a minimum of changes to the way this is packaged. However, I wanted to
mention a few things we should consider which have come out of looking carefully
at the packaging and talking with the auctex developers.
1) preview.sty and related tex files.
Auctex includes the preview.sty latex file (and related other files). With the
package in comment #8, these latex files are placed in the emacs lisp tree as a
private copy for auctex/preview, as configure was called with
--without-texmf-dir. However, the natural place to put them would be in the
/usr/share/texmf tree, where all other latex packages go. This would then expose
the preview.sty functionality for other packages eg. LyX. (This is what I did in
the spec file in comment #1). However, it makes sense to have these latex files
in their own package, such that, for example, LyX could make use of them without
requiring an installation of auctex.
Note also that tetex 3.0 (shipped with FC5) would normally include preview.sty
creating a package conflict. However, since the tetex version of preview.sty is
incomplete, it is actually stripped out of the tetex package.
2) XEmacs support.
Prior to the inclusion of the preview functionality there wasn't a need for an
XEmacs package, since auctex was included in the base XEmacs package. However,
there's now a clearer need for a package of auctex for XEmacs. This is
relatively easy to achieve - see my recent muse package for an example of how to
generate both emacs and xemacs packages from a single spec and tarball. However,
following this approach would require renaming the package from emacs-auctex to
just auctex, and having emacs-auctex and xemacs-auctex subpackages.
So, the proposal treating both of these points:
Rename the package to auctex. the auctex binary rpm only contains the files
common to emacs and xemacs packages (mainly the cods). Build emacs-auctex and
xemacs-auctex subpackages both of which require auctex. If we don't treat point
(1) above, both the emacs-auctex and xemacs-auctex package would contain private
copies of the preview.sty and related files in their lisp trees. If we do treat
point (1) above, there is an additional subpackage required by both emacs-auctex
and xemacs-auctex which has the latex files in it. What should this be called?
tetex-preview is one option, as it would be an add on to tetex. But this
obfuscates the relationship to the auctex package. So perhaps,
auctex-tetex-preview or something? It's a bit difficult to know what to call
this package.
Hi Jonathan, I'm going to be on the road for a couple of days and will
have sporadic connectivity. For the time being, please feel free to
make changes to emacs-auctex in cvs for FC-4/5/devel and request builds
for them. I'll be happy to discuss the package re-naming and other
issues (which sound good--nice to have Xemacs support!) in a couple of
And thank you for looking into this!
Builds pushed (with some updating of BuildRequires).
Hi Ed - I have prepared a spec file which splits out the latex preview stuff, so
that eg. Lyx can make use of the functionality (this is strongly suggested as a
good idea by the maintainers). Will attach the updated spec. Let me know if
you're happy for me to push builds, or if you want to.
Created attachment 129497 [details]
Updated spec to split out tetex-preview
This splits out the preview latex style files into the tetex-preview package
Hi Jonathan, I looked at the new spec and it seems OK (although I just don't
have enough time to build it and test it right now!). Please feel free to
make the changes and request builds.
OK, builds pushed.
I have also split out the .el source files into a separate package (a la the
emacs packages) - most users don't need the .el files installed.

Released: Out now (DS), TBA (iOS)
Score: 8/10
It must be galling to wake up and find out you are dead. Especially when you have no idea who you are or why you have been shuffled off this mortal coil. But for Sissel – Ghost Trick's pointy haired, crimson suited hero – death is no time to be moping around. Not when there is a young lady to be saved. Sissel may not know who he is, but he does know he's not the kind of guy to let shady assassins go around shooting redheads.
Ghost Trick wastes no time thrusting you into Sissel's confused, phantasmagorical awakening. Guided by the wise instructions of a possessed desk lamp, Sissel quickly discovers spiritual powers that allow him to inhabit and manipulate inanimate objects and – more importantly – upon discovery of a fresh corpse, he can travel back to four minutes before that person's death.
The loopy, whirlwind opening of Ghost Trick is the perfect introduction to a game that's happy to play fast and loose with the player and its own rules. But it handles that pace with a deft touch, never leaving you behind. It immediately makes a virtue of Sissel's amnesia too, twisting that old-age cliché of memory loss into something far more engaging than a tired narrative crutch. You are just as lost as Sissel, and a connection is formed with the protagonist. A bond that manages to endure as you both learn more about Sissel's history and the powers he has gained that form Ghost Trick's central conceit.
At the press of a button, you can enter the ghost world, which floods the screen in a red hue. Bright blue 'cores' sparkle across the environment, indicating objects that can be possessed and possibly manipulated. Sissel only has a limited reach, and much of Ghost Trick is spent forming paths for our hero, jumping from object to object by dragging your stylus across the screen. Opening out hospital beds, nudging a precariously placed doughnut so it tumbles from its table and trundles across the floor with you as passenger, spinning a merry-go-round to reach unreachable areas.
These 'tricks' only work on certain objects, and very few are wasted, more often than not representing a piece of the puzzle. There are a few red herrings dotted around, but generally there is little time wasted fiddling about with useless objects – all part of Ghost Trick's uncluttered no-nonsense focus. The trick, as it were, is working out in which order to manipulate objects, and perfecting the timing of your interactions and jumps between each vessel.
This concept shines brightest when Sissel is tasked with saving some poor unfortunate soul's life. As he struggles to unravel the mystery behind his own death, he will find his path littered with the recently deceased and it's up to him to avert their fate by changing history; travelling into the past to stop their demise by manipulating the environment. This can range from unlatching a giant wrecking ball to crush a would be assassin, or turning an ornamental broadsword into a makeshift golf club, pinging medicine to a man in the midst of a heart attack.
Constructing a Rube Goldberg-esque chain reaction using inanimate objects is brilliantly novel stuff, and seeing your ghostly work play out is always a delight. While you only have limited time to change someone's fate, you are able to rewind time as much as you wish. On occasion this ability is absolutely crucial, often a puzzle will be borderline unsolvable at the first try, forcing you to figure out how things work – and how they don't – in Sissel's Sisyphean tasks.
As the game progresses, more kinks come in to play at the designers' whim, but never serve to baffle, managing to fit snugly into Ghost Trick's ever-evolving, self-imposed rule set (some of the rules come across as deliberately trite, but as the desk lamp so eloquently puts: "we're talking about the powers of the dead here, they don't have to make sense"). But despite demonstrating a terrific amount of flexibility in both form and execution, the game remains too easy due to the rigidity of the puzzle solutions, with very little room left for interpretation.
Ghost Trick's economy is both its biggest strength and biggest weakness in gameplay terms. It leads to a punchy pace, unfussy and never frustrating. But such breezy, prescribed funnelling means that the satisfaction of a well-solved point-and-click puzzle is sadly diminished. The terrifically inventive concept that the game is built on never reaches critical mass, trading in devilish puzzling in order to keep pushing the throttle and moving the story on.
But what a story it is. The barmy yarn is a pleasure in itself, but how it is spun – with elegant, sharp wit – is what impresses most. Ghost Trick is from the mind of Shu Takumi, the man behind the fabulous Ace Attorney series. And while Ghost Trick is very much its own entity, it has Phoenix Wright's fingerprints all over it; from the melodic jangle of an audio cue to the wacky character design. The game also shares Ace Attorney's tone – a colourful playfulness coiffed with anime hairstyles, but thickly laced with dark tragedy and built on strong character.
Sissel immediately has you on his side, along with perennially unfortunate sidekick Lynne, but not a single character in Ghost Trick passes by without stamping their personality on each scene they're in. The white-coated detective that dances down stairs like Michael Jackson in Thriller but talks like Austin Powers (brilliantly conveyed in simple text), the dastardly villains of the piece influencing proceedings in luxury from afar, the unforgettably nervous prison guard Bailey (believe me; you haven't lived until you've seen his special Panic Dance). No matter how big or small their involvement, each character is brimming with charisma, brought to life by sensationally fluid animation that shimmers with Ghost Trick's bright colour palette. Special mention must go to talking Pomeranian pooch, Missile, who manages to become one of gaming's sweetest and most endearing characters against all odds.
How Ghost Trick will resonate with you is dependent on how hard you fall for these characters and Sissel's plight. The puzzling, while fearsomely inventive and effortlessly pleasurable, unfortunately doesn't fulfil its obvious potential. But if you are possessed by Ghost Trick's charms, you will find an affecting, charismatic game with a whole lot of spirit.

Core Design, maker of the Tomb Raider series, has proven to be a prolific developer. Without even counting the "gold editions," Tomb Raider: Chronicles is the fifth Tomb Raider game in as many years - a feat that deserves some sort of recognition. Not many games make it to a fifth chapter, let alone in such a short time span. But while Core and publisher Eidos Interactive should be commended for their commitment to avoiding the long development cycles that plague so many games, they can also be criticized for squandering what began as an imaginative and interesting series. Tomb Raider: Chronicles features good level designs and a bit of variation on the tried-and-tried-again Tomb Raider formula, but there's too little in the way of innovation to make it seem like anything more than just another trip to the cash cow.
At the outset of Chronicles, Lara Croft is presumed dead and several of her colleagues and friends are holding a memorial service in her honor. This service leads to a sort of vigil, where the gathered recall some of Lara's past exploits. These stories make up the adventures, and there are four unrelated episodes. Each of these finds Lara searching for some mythical artifact in some mystical land, usually against some European adversary. Descriptions of the episodes sound like variations on Clue solutions: You have the Frenchman with the Philosopher's Stone in the Roman Colosseum and the German with the Spear of Destiny in the Russian submarine. Lara will also have to hunt demons in an Irish moor and find an Egyptian artifact in a high-security skyscraper.
The first three of these episodes follows the Tomb Raider formula to the letter, though veterans of the series will note that Chronicles is an easier game than its predecessors. But the basic gameplay remains the same. The first puzzle in the very first Tomb Raider involved finding some gears to open a new area. And almost every puzzle in every Tomb Raider game since has been exactly the same, though the gears have been replaced by seals, medallions, or what have you. Between these door-opening puzzles is a series of jumping puzzles. You must simply find the right area to jump or climb to and then execute the proper moves. Lara has some new moves in Chronicles, including tightrope walking and hand-over-hand swinging, but these are little more than slight variations on the theme.
The problem with Tomb Raider's jumping puzzles is that they are so clinical. In most platform games, such as the excellent Rayman 2, learning the pattern required to complete an area is a test of reflexes. This is not the case in Tomb Raider. Instead, you only need to jump within a certain window of time, and Lara will jump at precisely the right time for you. Once you learn to execute the moves, and you will do so very early on, the puzzles are just a matter of trial and error. This takes away much of the surprise and suspense needed to make a game like this fun, and the high-action settings that Lara explores are made somewhat dull as a result of gameplay that all but does away with the element of surprise. There are a few areas that require you to perform a series of actions in precisely the right order, but these are the exception.
The jumping puzzles are interrupted by the occasional gunplay sequence, but these aren't much better. Lara aims automatically, and most combat is simply a matter of mashing the fire button while frantically trying to avoid being pinned into a corner by your opponent. This can be harder than it sounds, especially considering that the camera angles seem to conspire against you to make seeing your opponent impossible until he (or she or it) is upon you. Luckily, there is little combat in Chronicles.
One of the new additions in Chronicles (dubbed "a hand-to-hand stealth attack" on the box) requires you to sneak up on an opponent and knock him out from behind. This new move only makes one appearance in the first three episodes, and it seems illogical. Here is a woman who can do a standing long jump of over 15 feet, can jump 10 feet in the air without breaking a sweat, and yet she is absolutely useless when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. At one point, Lara has been captured and her weapons have been taken away. Crawling through the air ducts of a submarine, she comes across the kitchen. If she doesn't sneak up on the chef and knock him out, she is helpless against him. Bear in mind that she once took down a Tyrannosaurus with a handgun, and yet she is powerless against a fat cook with a knife.
Stealth becomes a bigger issue in the final episode, which combines ideas from pioneering games such as Metal Gear Solid and Thief: The Dark Project with the standard Tomb Raider gameplay. You must sneak through a building, using chloroform to knock out guards. It's a welcome variation on the formulaic action of the first three episodes (and the previous four games, for that matter), though the interface and camera angles occasionally make it seem like a less-than-perfect match of styles. Still, it gives hope that future installments of the series will break even further from the formula.
Chronicles looks better than previous installments and features smoother characters that look almost like cartoons. The rocks and platforms are still noticeably angular, but the environments are colorful and varied. Rome looks especially nice, as does the colorful and haunting island Lara visits in the third episode.
The sound does not fare as well. The music is suited to each environment, and it provides some well-timed cues that danger is around the corner. Unfortunately, the voice acting is almost universally terrible, with young Lara being one of the worst culprits. The hammy readings mar the well-written dialogue; you'll get the feeling not only that the developers themselves are reading the dialogue, but that they were only given one take to get it right.
The game also has some noticeable technical problems. Debugging errors crashed the game occasionally, graphics clipping abounds, and there were some slight problems with movie sequences that didn't play properly.
Tomb Raider: Chronicles is better than Tomb Raider II or III, though it lacks the coherent story that made The Last Revelation the best since the original. The main problem is that the Tomb Raider series hasn't grown with the times. The artificial difficulty on some levels (such as giving you no weapons and yet still populating the area with enemies) is just frustrating, and ideas from other action games haven't been implemented as well as they could have been. There's no autosave feature, the environments still seem vast and empty, and you never feel like you're in an interesting, fully realized world that you want to explore. Instead, you feel like you're playing a game from five years ago. And, if you really want to be honest, it's because you are.

Homerton College
Homerton College Conference and Catering department have received the Silver standard business award for their work towards food sustainability. Homerton is the largest of the University of Cambridge colleges offering on-site accommodation across all three years of undergraduate students, as well as graduates and conference guests outside of term time. With such a large number of residents and one of the most grand dining halls in the University, Homerton College is catering a great many meals each week and it is wonderful that sustainability is at the heart of this catering team.
Homerton College has a comprehensive sustainable food policy. A large proportion of fresh vegetables and meat are sourced seasonally and locally from farms in Cambridgeshire and East Anglia while sustainable fish is sourced from the North Sea. Animal welfare is considered with all meat being RSPCA farm assured. Produce from further afield such as tea, coffee, sugar and chocolate is certified Fairtrade. The College is lucky to have an orchard within the grounds and so apple juice served at Homerton is home-grown!
As well as thinking about where food comes from, the catering department at Homerton College has factored in healthy options, offering juices and healthy snacks in the Buttery along with a healthy vending machine. Material waste is high on the agenda too with the majority of packaged food and snacks being supplied using recyclable materials. Great effort has been made to remove single use plastic from the College by serving drinking water in refillable glass bottles, doing away with straws and incentivising 'bring your own mug' for tea and coffee served in the Buttery.
The catering and conference team operate with great consideration for sustainable food and are keen to share their commitment with students through informative posters around the dining hall. Suppliers are invited to visit the college to teach students more about their produce and college chefs hold cookery lessons to support students in making their own meals too.
With all of this fantastic effort to promote sustainability, Homerton College has made pledges to work with Cambridge Sustainable Food to do even more in the next two years. We will be working together to look at meat reduction and reducing food waste not just with the Gold award in mind but with a very strong commitment to sustainable food.

…another time zone.
House sitters are back in action and having repacked our things almost straight from the last trip, the next adventure begins.
Though the whole trip promises plenty of fun, these first days in one of our favourite places got off to a marvellous start. Jordi is a reliable guide to the best of places to eat and her recommendation of Calle Ocho turned out to be spot on.
The atmosphere was noisy and colourful – just the thing for keeping awake! The food was fantastic and arrived in huge portions, which meant that however delicious it was, however hungry we'd been, there was no chance that we'd ever finish it, sadly. Above is my starter, tamal, which turned out to be the tastiest, most delicious prawn and tamale combination, with the pumpkin seed pesto drizzle adding a real twist. Totally yummy and definitely somewhere we'll return.
Another reason why we couldn't finish could be that we'd polished off two whole baskets of their delicious yucca bread dipped in black bean paste – as we broke open another roll with those fateful words "just one more", we knew we should have exercised restraint.
But we're on holiday, aren't we?

How to Grow Portobello Mushrooms? Discover the Appropriate Way!
If you are a beginner in terms of gardening or simply growing plants, Portobello Mushroom is one of the plants that are ideal for you to try to grow. However, the question remains, and you might be curious about how to grow Portobello Mushrooms?
This process is surprisingly more straightforward than it seems. It is in truth a non-complicated and fun process to go through. Portobello Mushrooms are plants that are easy to grow compared to other plants.
Best of all, they also require low maintenance. You can choose to grow Portobello Mushrooms either indoors or outdoors. In this article, I will share with you the effective ways on how to grow Portobello Mushrooms. Furthermore, I will discuss a few essential tips along the way.
What You Will Need
Before I share with you the steps on how to grow Portobello Mushrooms, there are vital materials that need for this project. Here are the following essentials that you will require.
How To Grow Portobello Mushrooms?
Once you have obtained the essential materials for this project, you may now carry on to follow the straightforward guide. Here are the steps on how to grow Portobello Mushrooms.
Growing Portobello Mushrooms Indoors
1. The first step in this process is to make a bed for your mushrooms. Using the tray, fill it with compost of around 6 inches deep. Collect your Portobello Mushroom spores and sprinkle them all over the compost bed. Gently push each spore downward unto the compost bed.
2. Once this is done, place the tray in a dark room with the room temperature of 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it sit there until you notice microscopic, white buds emerging.
3. Next is to add a layer of damp moss over the entire compost bed. After which you need to cover it with newspaper.
4. Spray water on the covered bed twice a day. This will run for the next two weeks.
5. Check your bed and see if there are now little heads that emerged. If you notice they have emerged successfully, you may take off the newspaper covering for good.
On the other hand, if this still does not happen, replace the covering with a new sheet of newspaper and continue with spraying water twice a day for another week.
6. At this point that little heads began emerging, you just need to continue spraying water once a day.
7. Once you Portobello Mushrooms are large enough, you can proceed to harvest them.
Growing Portobello Mushrooms Outdoors
1. When growing Portobello Mushrooms outdoors, start by building your bed. This should measure 4 inches in length and width and 8 inches deep.
2. Once your bed is made, fill it up with 6 inches deep of compost.
3. Using the cardboard, cover the bed with it. Follow this by covering the whole bed with black plastic. This is done to encourage solar radiation that helps sterilize your compost bed. Leave your bed like this for the next two weeks.
4. At the end of two weeks, take off the black plastic as well as the cardboard. Now, sprinkle your Portobello Mushroom spores across your compost bed. Again, gently work them into the compost by nudging them downward lightly.
Let this sit for another two weeks. Make sure that the environment temperature is around 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. After those two weeks, you will notice tiny heads starting to pop out. This time you need to cover the entire surface of the bed with 1 inch of damp moss. Afterward, cover it with newspaper. Spray water twice a day for the next ten days.
6. When you notice that your Portobello Mushrooms are large enough, you can opt to harvest them.

Spring and Summer are fast approaching and as we begin to take part in our favorite spring and summertime activities we need to take a minute to think safety. Begin this summer by being a safety "role model" for all around you.
According to Safe Kids Worldwide properly-fitted helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries by at least 45 percent – yet less than half of children 14 and under usually wear a bike helmet. Here are some of the ways to reduce the risk of injury and death while biking.
1. Make sure your bike is properly fitted and in good working condition. A spring tune up is always a good idea.
2. Wear a properly fit helmet on EVERY ride (this includes skating and scooting). Wearing a properly fitted helmet is your insurance policy protecting you from a potentially disabling or fatal traumatic brain injury. Use the following checklist to ensure a proper fit:
a. EYES check: Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet. The rim should be one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows.
b. EARS check: Make sure the straps of the helmet form a "V" under your ears when buckled. The strap should be snug but comfortable.
c. MOUTH check: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do you feel the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten those straps and make sure the buckle is flat against your skin.
3. Make yourself visible. Fluorescent colors and reflectors make you more visible to motorists. If you are riding at night, ALWAYS remember a light.
4. Follow the rules of the road. Because your bike has wheels, you follow the same rules as a car does. Ride with traffic and obey the rules as if you were a car. Parents, ride with your children until you feel comfortable they can maneuver through traffic on their own. Test their skills by taking them out for a road test.
5. Stay focused and alert to your surroundings. Make certain that you see motorists and they see you. Eye contact is key to safety!
6. Enjoy the ride! Biking is an excellent form of exercise for the whole family.
Watch the following video on how to ensure a proper fit.
Make it a safe day!
