What is sleep paralysis? How does it occur? What are the solutions?
What is sleep paralysis? How does it occur? What are the solutions?
What is Nightmare? In the TDK dictionary, "distressed and fearful dream, nightmare", in other words, "one of whom is in a confused, troubled state of mind" is called. It can be described as a difficult situation to get through. So how does this happen and how we can get rid of this situation, especially when it happens during Astral travel studies. First of all, let's focus on the physiological reasons. When there is a situation that will disturb the body during sleep; We need to have a toilet, or we should not cover ourselves with a cold water, but we can not afford to meet our physical needs because of the weight of sleep.
At this time, the person who is in severe sleep with the stimuli of necessity coming from the physics may experience the condition of catalepsy (first phase of hypnosis – dyskinetic state). Energy during sleep is a different dimension with the closing of the consciousness of contact between the body and the soul that we call the body. If excessive stimuli cause someone to turn on his consciousness before normal, Consciousness opens early, or if the energy body is pulled to its early position, it can happen because both bodies do not sit together perfectly.
Among these reasons, we can add to the daily living and subconscious problems, troubles and unsolved issues. It can cause such an event to happen in such situations that disrupt the quality of sleep. When such a problem is experienced, it should be calm and should not react in any way. Everyone already knows that after a while you're out.
Apart from that, the main nightmare that concerns us is about the Cines.
Since there is no academic study in the field of parapsychology in our country, only the physiological and medical reasons related to the nightmare phenomenon are emphasized. I can write very comfortably because I have lived in person and have been standing on it in detail. Whether it is astral travel studies or other parapsychological studies, as people approach the 3D matter outside the realm, those outside the realm become more easily penetrated. We can explain this with a simple example.
You can see that a fire burns away, but you are not affected by the heat that only sees the light.
If you get closer, not only the intensity of the light but also the severity of the heat will affect you. This effect is proportional to your distance. You can think that this is mutual. We may be exposed to these influences or effects from the moment we start working on te if we do not want to. If these works are to be expressed as a 100-step ladder, then researching to ascend astrals and starting to do something means stepping into the first step. As we do the exercises and proceed, we start climbing the steps and approach the outer pineal 100th step. Not only we naturally become closer to us in that realm.
For these reasons, the person may be exposed to certain effects. The psychological structure or general life of the person is an important factor in determining how these effects will be. If a person has a spiritual chal- lenge, that is, if there is a religious experience, these effects can also be seen in the form of spiritual help, or, if the spiritual nature of the person is strong, they may not be adversely affected or become more vulnerable to negative effects. This is especially the reason why women are more exposed to external influences during certain periods.
So this situation is sleeping, the paralysis, how the nightmare comes to you.
The direct substance abatement effects of the gins are not possible under normal conditions because of their properties 4.-5. It is not possible to have a material effect on the third dimension. In order to be able to do this, extraordinary conditions are required because I'm out of this position (the same situation as we are in effect when we are in the 5th dimension)
The easiest and easiest way for the genies to influence us is to awaken fear in us. If we have a complicated environment, it is possible to have a fearful dream. As I mentioned above, it is related to the spirit of this person and the power of his spiritual shield.
They can manipulate our spiritual world in dreams while they are able to influence in daily life, and they can manipulate our world in dreams. We need to lose our coldness, our control, the excitement and the panic, so that we can create a kataleptic effect (the mechanism of movement of the nerves on our bodies). First they create a (telepathic) effect with your feelings (someone watching you, someone watching you, someone inside, etc.).
If the person is strong enough, or if he has previously experienced similar situations, he will overcome it.
In the next stages, if the person is in astral work and in trance, he will start scaring them if they are scared or horrified if he is asleep. In this case, if the person really scares, the brain begins to secrete chemistry to move the defense system in order to protect the health of the human. (As you are experiencing when you see a dog running towards you, in this case the person will not tend to escape without fear. Defense system) is the moment when someone lost control and one person loses all control with fear and panic.
Now, a more intense effect may begin. This effect is a cataleptic effect, whether telepathic or kinetic, which will take place on the nervous system and the person is stiff. It is also a situation that happens because the energy body and matter match the moment when the body tries to come together in time, and it is not fully in place.
This happens when one is sitting on the person, someone feels that the person squeezes the throat or lies on the back, etc. This is not a real material effect, whether in the realm of the senses or the realm of matter. We can pretend to be cruel when we cut it with a knife in the dream. In reality, we are not cut off but feel pain. It is like this in this life. In fact, there is no sitting on us in the matter size, but we feel like it is real like the situation in the dream because we become vulnerable at that moment.
What should be done in this situation.
It is natural to read the prayer that first comes to mind. But those who experienced that it was not so easy to do it at that moment knew. If you can read it, you will be saved from this situation only if you have obtained calmness and control and calm enough to complete the prayer already. Getting rid of this situation requires acquired experience.
It should be calm, it should be known that this situation is natural, and only the living should be observed. It is not easy to do these things, who can remain calm simply in this fear and panic when they remain motionless, silent and uncontrolled. But do not worry.
Everyone from the dark room is afraid and uneasy because we do not know what's inside. When we know we can scare this fear. Some things can be experienced, experienced and removed.
Then, everyone will probably start to struggle,
try to stand up, try to throw it if there is a quilt or cover on it, try yelling and trying to get help, try to play your language to open your mouth to move your arm, at least try to have some of your body. But all of them are nauseous, and even worse, you think you are doing them in the sense of feeling as you try to do them. But in reality you can neither shackle nor move. You can get rid of this kataleptic level only by calm and giving positive suggestions to yourself.
Try to make connections about real and everyday life, remember what you are doing that day, just try to think different things and remember that this will happen some time later. Nobody does not stay in this situation after a while, but if you can not control the brain will come into action and take measures to save you from this situation. Either you will fall asleep again, or a warning will be so intense from the neurons that you will start moving your senses out of your senses. After this event, you will slowly come to yourself in a way of slowing or sweating in blood or sweat.
Can the fugitives be useless in this situation?
If you can read it and it has come to the sensation of gin influence, it can certainly work. This has two influences, the first is the help of every servant, that is the servant angel. Even Allah, Bismillah, provides a positive benefit, but it is difficult to do that at that point because you can not do it because there is panic and uncontrollability in mental and intellectual sense.
What should he do then?
The measure must be taken from the beginning. We can not say anything about physiological reasons, but Ayetel Cursi, which is enormous in these matters, can be read before the harmony or before the work begins to protect such kataleptic influences with the influence of the Jinns. It can be abused or workable.
If you have a sensitive soul structure and are under the influence very easily, there is a method that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.V.) recommends the application of the place where you will sleep or work before bedtime or before you start to work. You can blow it at 7 times every time you read the Ayetel couse and you will work on it or work on it. (I do not mind seeing that the conditional utilitarianism comes: http://telekinezi.com/madde-kinezi-bagi-kanunlar/muzik-ve-sozlerin-su-kristali-uzerine-etkisi-t1803.html and http://telekinezi.com/genel-kultur/zemzem-suyu-kristallerinin-sirri-cozuldu-t5755.html You can take a rod to your hand and draw a circle by rubbing it all the time while you are reading it.
If you have your 5 hour prayers and if you have a spiritual life, you will never have or will survive such a thing because you will be protected by the spiritual shields you have already possessed and the times you have continuously read in prayer,
What is sleep paralysis? How does it occur? What are the solutions?

When you work at a coding bootcamp, water cooler chats are a bit different than you might find in other workplaces. Heartening anecdotes are casually passed between instructors, counselors, career services staff, and the like—whether it's a student who's surpassed all odds to accomplish his goal or a recent grad accepting her dream job, we're talking the kind of stories that just make you feel good about what you do.
We're lucky we so often have the chance to dive deeper into many of these...Read More

} Hanging on, and hope for more in '99 By Rex Nutting, CBS MarketWatch Last Update:
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The final results on 1998's economic performance aren't in yet. Still, the economy excelled, considering the number of crises that erupted.
The week's data
Tuesday 9 am: BTM survey 10 am: Consumer confidence 10 am: Existing home sales 2:45 p.m.: Redbook retail sales
Wednesday 10 am: Leading indicators
Thursday 8:30 am: Jobless claims 10 am: Chicago PMI 10 am: Help wanted index 10 am: NY PMI
Friday 10 am: Livingston survey
What's ahead for 1999? Will the Asian crisis finally bring the U.S. economy to its knees? Will manufacturing rebound? Will inflation return as a worry or will the deflation of commodity prices continue? And perhaps most important, will American consumers keep up their spending spree? Stocks, profits "The economy has had a lot of stamina," said Sung Won Sohn, economist at Norwest Corp. "Whether that will continue depends on how well we can maintain consumer spending, and that depends on two factors: the stock market and corporate profits." Sohn thinks the U.S. economy will start off the year with good momentum that will dissipate as corporate profits suffer. With lowered expectations for earnings, companies will cut back their capital spending plans even further and will step up their layoffs. Ultimately, consumers will be hit in two ways: First, their own stock market gains won't be able to continue fueling spending on big houses, cars and other goods. Second, spreading layoffs will hold down income growth for many households and will put others in a more defensive posture. "Global economic problems will not be as tranquil as they've been the past few months," Sohn said. He expects Brazil to be the year's biggest trouble spot. Sohn thinks the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates a couple more times before summer. Economy gets stronger Peter Kretzmer, economist for NationsBank Montgomery Securities, has a somewhat different view of 1999, believing that the economy will strengthen as time goes by.
"The prospects remain good for healthy growth," he said. "The consumer remains in excellent shape, but we can't expect consumer spending to grow at 4.7 percent as it did in 1998, the strongest since 1984." Kretzmer thinks manufacturing will bounce back in the second half of the year. Kretzmer thinks the global-slowdown crisis remains the key for the U.S. economy. Continued weakness abroad will continue to have many beneficial effects for the United States, including low oil prices (which have functioned like a big tax cut) and low interest rates. The biggest risk in Kretzmer's view is the extraordinary amount of money pumped into the system by the Fed to fight the credit crunch. "We'll have to deal with that at some point," he said. "It's easy in this environment for the monetary authorities to feel there's no way they can overinflate." Kretzmer thinks the Fed will lower interest rates once more in the first half of the year before reversing course to keep inflation down. "It'll take the Fed staying ahead of things," he said. "That will require a tightening as the year goes on." Next week The economic calendar for the coming week is light, which is typical of the end of the month. The biggest releases are Tuesday's consumer confidence and existing home sales numbers. Both indicators are expected to weaken slightly from very healthy levels, but no one will really care about the numbers.
Traders will be waiting for the National Association of Purchasing Management index on Jan. 4 and the December employment report on Jan. 8 to really give them an idea about where the economy is heading.

Most portfolio offices collect information on risks (and sometimes issues) but the risk statements supplied by projects are often unfocused and poorly defined. It seems that while many project managers can tell us what a risk is, few really understand the concept of risk and how to get real value from the risk practices they apply.
Risk and issue logs are key to understanding the health of our project portfolio. Analysed appropriately they provide the Portfolio Office with critical information revealing where the 'hot-spots' are, what needs to be escalated, the actions that would have most effect on increasing throughput etc.
Unfortunately the quality of risk data is sometimes too poor to be credible
If you were to ask you project managers what analysis was done prior to writing the risk into the log; in many cases you will find that there is virtually no analysis and very little engagement with the team and other stakeholders who are best positioned to really understand the nature of the project risks. The risk log is far too often just seen as something that has to be filled in.
Risk profiles are the eyes and ears of the portfolio office
Below is an analysis of the risk impacts areas in two rather different portfolio situations:
In portfolio 1, the current project risk position is indicating that there are concerns around whether what will be delivered will meet the specified acceptance criteria and fulfil client expectations. In other words- it's clear what we need to deliver but will it be good enough? Any PMO interventions should focus attention on improving product development processes and ensuring testing has been adequately resourced and planned for.
In portfolio 2, there are concerns that costs are likely to rise, probably triggered by the high level of scope change being experienced. Here any PMO intervention is likely to focus on change control and exploring the root causes of scope increase – perhaps the portfolio needs to be re-baselined.
These are both from real portfolios we've reviewed. Interestingly, prior to this analysis the focus of the PMO in portfolio 1 had been on financial control – they just had not 'heard' the news that was coming from their projects.
Categorising risks to support portfolio analysis
If you want to make risk logs useful at the portfolio level then you must make not only the categorisation useful but also the language clear and shared across the project community.
First things first – make sure that what is being reported is usefully classified as a risk
In 2011 we reported on a survey of risk logs in SA and the UK. In this analysis we found that over two thirds of the logs in the survey muddled together risks, issues, constraints, actions, and 'to dos' as well as having a general air of being a 'things to keep in mind' list.
There just is not enough analysis going into the risk and issue logs prior to them being submitted – this has to change if you are to get value from the reporting process.
Here are our suggestions to start making risk reporting valuable:
- Review the risk logs – are they classifiable as risks with useful management actions? In other words, get rid of the 'dross'
- Review the classifications used and make sure there is shared and common approaches to using the classification.
We suggest you should be using at least the following:
- Risk exposure – often expressed as impact and probability – low, medium, high – make sure there is a stated position about what the different levels mean in your business context
- Risk impact – categorise the impacts of the risk and you can start to look at the profile of risk across the portfolio. We categorise by impacts upon cost, scope, schedule, quality and benefits. Don't accept risks which say they impact them all – it just means the risk has not yet been expressed clearly or the brain has not been engaged.
- Risk actioner – who, or simpler still which team or business unit has been engaged to take on the risk management actions. The project manager might 'own' the risks but it is unlikely on complex projects that the project manager is best positioned to manage all the risks. Understanding what business areas are having to deal with risk helps guide PMO support activities, uncover root-cause concerns and identify potential bottlenecks.
Do you think you should be getting more value from your risk management approaches?
PiCubed offers internal Reflect and Learn workshops.
Using data from your own risk processes we compare these with best practices and facilitate discussion and debate on how the individual projects and the project community can make risk management a valuable process in your organisation.

Volkswagen will pay out $1.2 billion to affected owners of 3.0-liter V6 TDI models.
Slowly but surely, Volkswagen is trying to recover from the damage caused by the disastrous Dieselgate scandal. In the midst of facing lawsuits and prosecution, the manufacturer has been reaching settlements to compensate affected owners. The last settlement saw VW agree to pay out $15 billion to owners of 2.0-liter diesel models. Now, owners of 3.0-liter V6 TDI models are being compensated in another costly settlement.
VW has agreed to pay out $1.2 billion for a program inviting affected owners of 3.0-liter V6 TDI models to either have their vehicles fixed or bought back. Around 78,000 affected vehicles are eligible, including the VW Touareg, Audi A6, A7, A8, A8L, Q5 and Q7, and the Porsche Cayenne. If the fix is approved, owners could receive compensation of between $7,000 and $16,000, plus another $500 if the fix affects the car's performance. If, however, you request a buyback, you will receive an extra $7,500 on top of the value of the car. These costs could seriously mount up for VW if US regulators don't approve fixes for affected vehicles, however.
According to AutoNews, the manufacturer could end up paying $4.04 billion if this happens – and that's without taking the individual owner's compensation into account. VW also agreed to pay $225 million to offset the extra pollution emitted from the 3.0-liter models on top of the $2.7 billion it's already paying out for pollution caused by 2.0-liter models. Will VW ever recover from Dieselgate? Well, despite all the controversy VW outsold Toyota last year - though it's worth noting that this includes all brands under the VW Group such as Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche.

Here are 13 reasons why Jay Asher is my hero:
1. Before Thirteen Reasons Why, his best-selling YA book about a girl who commits suicide, his first 11 manuscripts were rejected by publishers, but he never stopped writing.
2. He understands "edgy." (See Robin's March 4th post.)
3. He quit college to pursue a writing career and actually succeeded.
4. Before he sold 13RW, he had a great team blog called Disco Mermaids (DM), which was an inspiration for The Paper Wait. He posted a lot about rejections but ultimately about "the joy and tears of selling a first book."
5. A few years before he sold 13RW, he started a thread on the Verla Kay blue boards called "Ready to Quit!" He didn't, which is how he got where he is now.
6. Even though he crossed to the other side, he hasn't forgotten pre-published writers like myself, including gifting a scholarship to SCBWI.
7. It took him 12 years to sell his first book. Knowing this, I'm giving myself permission to take 15 (12 + 3 for the bad economy), if necessary.
8. Not one but three editors wanted to buy 13RW, so the book went to auction, with the stipulation that he could speak with each editor by phone to choose the one who was right for him. He said this made him feel like Goldilocks, looking for the editor who was "just right."
9. 13RW was the first non-humorous YA book he ever wrote. The 12 years before that he spent trying to sell humorous books for younger readers, so switching genres paid off.
10. He's a 30-something guy who mastered a teen girl's p.o.v.
11. His book is No. 3 on today's NY Times chapter-book best-seller list. He was also featured in a NY Times article last week.
12. In a DM audio interview, he said that after three and a half years of writing the manuscript, he finally had his critique group read it. Their critiques were so harsh, he felt he needed a more positive critique that would make him feel comfortable sending it out to editors...
13. ...So he sent the manuscript to his Mom. (I have two sons, so the fact that he looked to her for inspiration really ups his hero status.) When Mom said, "This is beautiful honey, a real piece of art," out it went. You know the rest. (Hmm. What does this say about critique groups?)

Thirteen Reasons Why
9 comments:
Wow, #12 is pretty interesting. I wonder how much the manuscript changed in the editing process? Jay Asher's publishing history certainly gives me hope!! Belief in yourself and what you do is so important. Very inspiring!ReplyDelete
I'm at something like twelve years now...ReplyDelete
One of the best books I read last year, and I am not a teenage girl.ReplyDelete
In an interview with Laura Backes, Asher says the voice of Hannah came to him first and was so strong he wrote her story all the way through first. Then he went back and constructed Clay's story as a reaction to Hannah's narrative.ReplyDelete
I loved this book and so admire Jay Asher's perseverance. I had not heard the story about sending the manuscript to his mother. That's hysterical.ReplyDelete

If anyone ever gets the urge to quit, go to Verla Kay and search for Jay Asher's "Ready to Quit!" thread. The blueboarders who talked him out of it are an amazing bunch.ReplyDelete
Paul, I see from your pic that it's true, you're not a teenage girl. Keep visiting, we need some more male perspective on this blog!
Gale, he's a good study for anyone trying to write from more than one p.o.v.
Hi Meg, see comment above. :-)
Janice - don't worry, I'm not going anywhere...I'm just kvetching.ReplyDelete

Meg, in my prior comment, I was thinking more about myself than you. Kidding. Like Hillary C., I'm in it to win it. Wait, look what happened to her...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 18, 2009 at 4:08 PM
Meg, It's me again. Now I see what your comment meant. When I said "see above" I was talking about the multiple p.o.v. part (like in one of your WIPs, not the quitting part.ReplyDelete

I'm really bad at blogging regularly – oops! Despite the outwards impression I might sometimes give, I've been really busy these past few months, and although I've thought about blogging now and then I've only managed to get around to it today.
So, what have I been doing since January?
The short and obvious answer is "my PhD." Actually it's surprisingly hard to break down the specific things I have been doing, because a PhD is such a huge project that you end up doing random little tasks for a day or two, and then sort of forgetting about them. Like the days I spent going back through all 200 curses on my database adding one piece of information that I'd left out the first time. Or the day I drove up to Milton Keynes to the library for a book, only to realise on reading it that it was barely relevant.
Having said that, there are plenty of productive things I have done. The biggest is the aforementioned database, which currently includes 260 curse tablets from Britainnia, Gaul and Germania. It's not finished yet – I know of at least 30 I need to add, and no doubt there are more to find in obscure epigraphy journals written 100 years ago. I also have a table on my database with over 300 personal names from the tablets, sorted by gender, ethnicity and social status. This is the sort of thing I'm really interested in, as hopefully it will give me some insights into the kinds of people who were using curses at different times and places.
I have also been reading – a lot. There's always more too, and the end of my 'to read' list constantly eludes me, like a bank note on a string.
(C'mon, you know that's still funny…)
I've also started writing. My probation report – basically a draft of my first chapter, including a literature review – is due in the next couple of months, and I'm giving a few papers at internal seminars and conferences. I might post bits and pieces of my writing on here, we'll see how that goes!
Oh, and I've also been teaching! I'm now a tutor for the Brilliant Club, an organisation that puts PhD students in schools with low participation in higher education. To any PhD students reading this blog, I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you really want a challenge and some excellent experience, get involved!
So, a very packed few months, and it will only get more busy as we get closer summer and the end of my first year. I will try to blog more, please let me know if you've got any questions or any feedback on the what I post! My twitter is on the side bar, and there's the feedback form too 🙂

The alleged incident happened when K B Ganesh Kumar, son of party chief R Balakrishna Pillai, was proceeding to meet a bereaved family and the man, who was allegedly assaulted, was returning after visiting them.
22-year old Ananthakrishnan and his mother were returning in a car after visiting the same family that Mr Kumar was going to call on when the two vehicles came in the opposite direction on a road leading to the house of the deceased.
Ananthakrishnan was injured in the assault and had been admitted to a private hospital at Anchal. He filed a complaint with police against the lawmaker and his driver.
In a counter police complaint, a staff of the MLA alleged the man assaulted the driver, police said. According to the complaint, the MLA, an actor-turned politician, got of his car and allegedly assaulted the youth as his vehicle could not move forward.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden Review PC
key review info
- Game: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
- Platform: PC
- Gamepad support: Yes
- Reviewed on:
- Show system requirements
Some would say that X-COM is the father of the turn-based strategy genre, mostly because every new game that tackles the same genre is influenced by Take-Two's cult franchise. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is no exception, although it would be totally unfair to say that it's an X-COM ripoff.
Mutant Year Zero is quite unique, not just because it masterfully blends turn-based strategy and real-time stealth elements, but also because of the setting and characters. Many of you probably didn't know (I for sure didn't) that the game is based on the Mutant Year Zero tabletop RPG featuring half human half animal mutants, psionics and other weird forms of life.
In this particular case, the folks at The Bearded Ladies chose to depict a post-apocalyptic Scandinavia (if you're living there, you'll most certainly recognize some locations). Although it's quite light on the story and lore, Mutant Year Zero delivers a surprisingly solid experience from the beginning to the end.
The game definitely encourages experimentation since you can't approach every fight the same way. Mutant Year Zero can be an easy game, but only if you find the right strategy for every encounter, and that's what makes it interesting.
Mutant Year Zero is set in a post-apocalyptic world, a few hundred year after the humanity destroyed itself. The Ark is humanity's last safe haven in world that's been ravaged by a nuclear war and a deadly pandemic, now roaming with ghouls.
You'll be guiding a team of three stalkers, the only people capable to venture outside The Ark and scavenge for resources and knowledge, throughout a world in ruins that's ruthless with those who come unprepared.
Due to the global nuclear war, everyone was touched by mutations, hence your initial team will comprise a boar and a duck, Bormin and Dux. You've been asked by The Ark's leader to find Hammond, the only person who know how to fix things at the base. Apparently, after finding some evidence, he's taken a team of stalkers to find a fabled place called Eden where people untouched by the plague still live.
You'll pick up new stalkers along the way, each with their own story, but the main storyline is linear no matter what decisions you take the few times you're facing a choice. Under any other circumstances, I would say the story is forgettable for the most part, but in this case, it's what drives you to the end of the game.
Mutant Year Zero is a turn-based strategy game with real-time exploration mode. Basically, you can roam freely on a map as long as you're not engaged in combat. The main takeaway is that you can scout ahead with one of your stalkers and see what enemies you'll have to confront and their positioning or patrol routes. To make your fights easier, it's absolutely mandatory that you take down stragglers using your silent guns.
Just like in X-COM, cover and overwatch are two very important gameplay elements that you should be aware of during combat, but hit chance is an entirely different matter. In Mutant Year Zero, hit chance is calculated by percentages of 25, which means that you won't be able to miss if you have a 100% hit chance.
To spice it up even more, each of your stalkers are able to gain various mutations to help them in battle. You can unlock these mutations using ability points that you gain when you level up. There are three types of mutations that you can unlock – passive, minor and major, but you can only have one of each equipped at any time.
Also, in order to "recharge" them, you have to kill a certain number of enemies, which means that your stalkers may be able to use them more than once in a single fight. But there are a lot more elements that you need to be aware of before engaging in combat.
For example, the weapons present in the game be modded for longer range or more damage. In later stages of the game, you won't be able to take out an enemy in a single round using your silent weapons only, so you'll have to resort to longer range weapons. However, in order to do that, you'll have to position some of your stalker so that their weapons won't be heard by more than one or two enemies.
Of course, you can switch your equipped mutations and your weapons (each stalker can have two weapons equipped) in-between battles to fit your chosen strategy. Depending on the level of difficulty you're playing on, your stalkers will fully heal up once an encounter is over or just half heal. On the hardest difficulty, your stalkers won't heal at all, so you'll have to use the medkits that you find throughout the game or buy them from the vendor in The Ark.
While venturing into the Zone, you'll pick app scraps, the in-game currency that you'll use to buy consumables like medkits or grenades, new weapons, and even mods. And then there's artifacts that will allow you to unlock various bonuses for your stalkers, like more damage added to their weapons or more powerful grenades.
Until you discover all the tricks and the best strategy for each type of enemy Mutant Year Zero is a trial and error process, which makes it even more rewarding when you find a viable solution to a scenario.
The Good
- Interesting post-apocalyptic setting
- Charming characters
- Solid combat system
- Great voice acting
The Bad
- No replay value
- Few technical issues
- Party limited to three stalkers
Even though it draws inspiration from X-COM, Mutant Year Zero felt quite unique to me. The mix of real-time exploration and turn-based strategy elements, as well as the tactical decisions concerning each stalker's loadout, makes Mutant Year Zero one of the best games in the genre launched this year.
The solid combat system, interesting setting and great voice acting, merge into an appealing formula that the alchemists at The Bearded Ladies unexpectedly discovered while experimenting with various concoctions.

Chris Froome insists he would never barge a rival off the road — and says it was "crazy" to suggest he caved in to bike rage, writes Mike Walters in Perigueux .
Tour de France reigning champion and current leader Froome bumped shoulders with Yellow Jersey rival Fabio Aru in Sunday's stormy ninth stage after the Italian had launched an attack within split seconds of the defending champion suffering a mechanical problem.
After changing bikes and catching up with Aru's group on the brutal climb of Mont du Chat, the pair were involved in a glancing blow.
But as Froome recharged his batteries on Le Tour's first rest day, he was adamant it was an accidental clash and NOT a moment of red mist.
He said: "Any suggestion that it was on purpose is crazy.
"First of all, it's not anything I would ever do, and I was already on my spare bike – so to risk putting my derailleur into Aru's front wheel is just crazy. I would never risk that at all.
"I lost my balance a little bit coming out of a hairpin and swerved to the right. Aru happened to be on my right and he had to swerve as all.
"It was a genuine mistake and Fabio was the first to recognise that. I apologised straight away on the road as soon as it happened."
Attacking the Yellow Jersey when he suffers a mechanical problem is regarded as a major breach of peloton etiquette, and another British rider who witnessed Aru's sudden attack, Simon Yates, branded it a "dirty move."
Yates, well-placed to win the White Jersey for best young rider on Le Tour, said: "I don't like what he did, but it's a bike race and he can do what he wants.
"I'm not going to bear any grudges – but maybe some of the other guys will. From what I saw, it wasn't the correct thing to do."
When told that Aru claimed he didn't see Froome appealing for urgent mechanical help by raising his arm, Yates snapped: "Absolute bulls*** - Chris had a problem, he wasn't getting dropped and there was a long way to go in the stage."

Workshop "Migration for development"
Researchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Albania, Austria, Norway, USA and UK participated in a two day scientific workshop which tackled the question of using migration process and diaspora for country development. Among almost 70 participants of the conference, besides the researchers, there were also representatives of relevant institutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina (state and local level), embassies, international organizations, academic, non-government sector. The opening statements were made by the assistant Minister for Human Rights and Refugees, Ms. Ruzmira Tihic-Kadric, director of the Swiss Office for Cooperation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Joseph Guntern and the deputy of the representative of UNDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ms. Zahira Virani. The workshop was moderated by Dr. Mirza Emirhafizovic from the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Sarajevo.
After a two day workshop during which 11 research papers were presented it was concluded that further research in the area of migration and development is required, as well as development of relevant policies regarding the dispora and continuous strengthening of the regional cooperation.
The workshop was divided in two thematic panels: "Real and potential effects of migrations on the economic development of country of origin: case studies" and "Human Capital outside of homeland - possibilities to attract / circulate/ return of experts from abroad". Within the second panel WUS Austria presented its findings from the impact analysis of the Brain Gain Program +, which were summerised in the paper "The impact of the temporary returns of highly skilled migrants from the Western Balkans - the case of the "Brain Gain Program".

Snow, Snow and more Snow
Photo: Julian Sears
Well I've been out flying a few times in the last couple of weeks. The UK has been gripped in an unusual cold snap, with lots of snow and road closures. The UK always seems to grind to a halt in two or more inches of snow. Luckily though I've got a couple of very close flying sites that allow me to do some local soaring. Granted it's not the most interesting of flying, but it's nice to do now and again in the winter and helps keep the wheels oiled so to speak. In the picture above I'm launching my Axis Venus-1 in deep snow at Chinnor Hill in Oxfordshire, it's a very pretty place normally but when snow covered it's absolutely beautiful.
I've also been flying at Dunstable Downs a few times. Jamie Adams put up a little video clip shot on his new camera, the matchbox sized Hero Gopro HD. He can be seen flying his Axis Venus-2 and I'm somewhere in there flying my red&white Venus. [Edit March 2012, Jamie removed the video].
I'll be off to Australia in February for a couple of months of work and will take my wing; it'll be shorts and tee shirt flying, hooray!

NBC, Tuesdays, 10 p.m. ET/PT |
The curtain rises on season 2 of NBC's troubled drama about a Broadway-bound Marilyn Monroe musical titled Bombshell. Oh-we now have a new production that we'll call Everything but the Kitchen Sink. (Or, if advance sales are slow, Too Many Cooks.) Last year's Smash took an old-fashioned story and gave it a contemporary spin-42nd Street by way of Glee. But both ratings and critical reaction curdled. So now we have a revamped show that nervously trots out its fixes and tinkerings, unsure that any of them will do the trick. Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson is now on board as a reigning diva whose career is closely controlled by her mother (Sheryl Lee Ralph, softly growling in a big, theatrical turn). Ingenue Katharine McPhee, who landed the breakout role of Marilyn in a furious battle with rival Megan Hilty, wanders off to Brooklyn-that exotic, distant place that Lena Dunham likes-and discovers the greatest new songwriter since Rent's Jonathan Larson. Finally (addressing a point that obsessed critics), Debra Messing no longer wears accent scarves. The show must go on-but like this? Until, and unless, all the elements fall into place, it's more smush than Smash.
Monday Mornings
TNT, Mondays, 10 p.m. ET/PT |
I was unresponsive to all the stimuli offered by this slack medical drama, based on a novel by CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta-except for the riveting conferences referred to in the title: Mondays are when the doctors at a Portland, Ore., hospital are summoned by chief of surgery Dr. Harding Hooten (Alfred Molina). Speaking with an even politeness that soothes no one, he rakes them over the coals for their errors. These are such artfully constructed set pieces, with flashes of injured ego and rallying pride, a more innovative show would have built its entire narrative around them. Instead, most of Mornings is stock melodrama and, apart from Molina, not all that well acted. Ving Rhames, as trauma chief, pronounces diagnoses with the deep, rolling certitude of God.
Zero Hour
ABC, Feb. 14, 8 p.m. ET/PT |
Anthony Edwards, in his first series since exiting ER in 2002, is Hank Galliston, a professional skeptic and conspiracy debunker swept up in an improbable mystery involving antique clocks, Nazis, Rosicrucians and a baby with irises the color of milk. It's a big DaVinci Code glop of plot, all of it heading for something referred to as Zero Hour. This unfortunately will mark the death of civilization and-a point always overlooked in these doomsday scenarios-the end of Powerball. The pilot, rather than teasing us with the tip of this iceberg, throws us headlong into the nutty scenario. It hyperventilates when it means to be breathless.

An effective legal marketing campaign begins once you understand your potential clients. You have to put yourself in their shoes and consider the thoughts and concerns going through their minds. This task shouldn't be overly difficult. You know what worries your clients have after an accident, when facing divorce or following a criminal accusation. Are these people really going to be motivated by a free legal consultation? Or is there something else you can provide them with that will help you stand out from the crowd of lawyers in your marketplace.
A USP should be incorporated into your lawyer marketing campaign.
A unique selling proposition (USP) is that factor that makes you stand apart from your competition. It tells your prospects why they should contact you versus the law firm down the street. While the USP might not be a new concept for you, what you might not have heard is that a USP can actually be a "thing." A free consumer guide or report is a great USP. It grabs the attention of your prospects and encourages them to contact you. Isn't that the whole point of marketing?
Most attorneys try to do too much with their ads in the Yellow Pages and their TV commercials. They attempt to convince their prospects that they need to choose them that very instant. When you market with a USP, you can avoid this common marketing mistake.
Don't miss this conference!
For additional lawyer marketing tips, sign up for our national 2-day legal marketing conference scheduled for April 2011. You won't want to miss this one!

Hillary Scott & the Scott Family Make 'Beautiful Messes' Live From the Opry [Exclusive Premiere]
Hillary Scott & the Scott Family made their debut on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry recently, and the family gospel harmony group also captured a very special performance of "Beautiful Messes" backstage in the Opry Lounge.
Scott and her family — including mother Linda Davis, who scored an iconic No. 1 hit with "Does He Love You," her duet with Reba McEntire — perform the song from their debut album, Love Remains, in a very simple acoustic arrangement, with family patriarch Lang Scott playing acoustic guitar, accompanied by light percussion and mandolin. Scott takes the lead, with her mother, father and sister Rylee jumping in for some signature family gospel harmonies on the choruses.
The lyrics are not the kind of gospel lite that many country artists attempt, but rather an unabashed, full-on exaltation of the power of faith in Jesus Christ to affect change.
"We ain't perfect no / We ain't even close / We got holes in our hearts / We got scars we don't show / But all that baggage we / Keep on dragging around / Anytime we start laying it down / Lay it down at the foot of the cross / Give it to the one who can carry it all / Even at our worst, to him we ain't lost causes / Just beautiful messes," the group sings in the chorus.
They're accompanied on mandolin by Ricky Skaggs, who produced their album at his studio.
The group made their Opry debut on July 26, 2016, and they are set to return to the hallowed stage on Oct. 25 as part of Opry Goes Pink. The event will raise money for Women Rock for the Cure and the Nashville chapter of Susan G. Komen, to support finding a cure for breast cancer.

I've searched this forum and not found an answer to this question. I've deleted about 300GB of old files from within a Windows 2012 virtual machine running on an ESXi 6 host. If I run a VeeamZip will it only backup the portion of the VM that has files in it or will it backup the space previously occupied by the deleted data?
I believe that vSphere/ESXi will not show the available space as increasing after I do this delete until a certain process is followed (I think running the Mark Russinovich sdelete utility inside the VM and then shutting down the VM and running vmkfstools to reclaim the space in ESXi is required to fully reclaim the space in ESXi). Since Veeam has data compression built in, I wonder if it will backup only the space occupied by files inside the VM? I really don't want to follow all the steps to recover the space in ESXi and have to take the VM down if I don't have to - I'm hoping Veeam doesn't care whether ESXi sees the freed up space or not and is smart enough to backup just the used space inside the VM.
In case you are wondering, I have never run a VeeamZip on this VM and I don't really want to run 2 VeeamZips (before and after the delete) just so I can compare the size of the VeeamZip to answer this question.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
FYI those options are on by default in the paid versions, and yes, VeeamZIP will also filter out empty blocks so I assume it is using bitlooker to do this.
6 Replies
Correct, it used Bitlooker to exclude empty blocks, but you need to make sure it is configured to do so:
Yes, Veeam detects empty blocks and only backs up the used space.
Thanks to everyone thus far! Denis, I don't see those Advanced Settings in the free version of Veeam so I assume they aren't available. The free version can only do VeeamZips, I believe. If so, I wonder if the free version will use Bitlooker to exclude empty blocks like the paid version does?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it is taking steps to promote wider access to lower-cost alternatives to prescription medication and facilitating efforts to bring more generic medications to the market.
"No patient should be priced out of the medicines they need, and as an agency dedicated to promoting public health, we must do our part to help patients get access to the treatments they require," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in an FDA release. "Getting safe and effective generic products to market in an efficient way, being risk-based in our own work and making sure our rules aren't used to create obstacles to new competition can all help make sure that patients have access to more lower-cost options."
The agency said it has developed a list of drugs that are currently off-patent and off-exclusivity but that do not yet have approved generics in an attempt to spur development of lower-cost alternatives. Further, the FDA said it also implemented a new policy that will make it quicker to review generic drugs for which there is little competition.
"I am committed to continuing to pursue additional policy steps, under the FDA's current authority, to help reduce the burden on patients who have a difficult time paying for the medicines they need," Gottlieb said in the release.

MONTREAL – For a good while now, we've ended each year in this space with "best of" lists. At a time when restaurants are too busy to be reviewed (or often closed), I have preferred to wrap things up by underlining the efforts of the sharpest chefs and their most brilliant dishes.
Yet, I always felt we were leaving out some of the people whose foodie efforts extend beyond those lists. Thus, the tastemakers column was created.
Think of all the people who work tirelessly at getting those ingredients to your plate or in your glass, the people who are growing or raising those ingredients. Then there are the folks who work hard to make home cooks think beyond the usual Hamburger Helper. And let's not forget the chefs who are taking risks on the Montreal scene to make it a more interesting place to eat.
