Epigraph Vol. 17 Issue 1, 2015
Building Infrastructure on the Road to Improving Epilepsy Care in Africa
There is no question that the lack of resources is a major, if not the major, impediment to even minimal appropriate epilepsy care in many regions and countries of the world. Although Africa is not alone in this regard, it is a problem that is common to most countries on the continent. At the recent African Epilepsy Congress in Cape Town, this topic was widely discussed. It was clear from the presentations and from spontaneous conversations that happened throughout the meeting that the major issues were shared by most countries and that many shared the same ideas for solving the problem.
At the Congress, I had the opportunity to speak with a number of epilepsy leaders from all corners of Africa regarding their thoughts about the basis for the problem and about improving the situation for the millions of Africans who suffer from epilepsy and its consequences. I spoke with Professor Charles Newton of Kenya, Professor Gallo Diop of Senegal, Dr Celestine Kaputu Kalala Malu of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dr George Chagaluka of Malawi, Dr Omar Siddiqi of Zambia, Professor Jo Wilmshurst of South Africa and Professor Daliwonga Malazi of South Africa.
There was essentially universal agreement on the greatest need: trained personnel who understand the issues associated with epilepsy. As Professor Newton indicated, the greatest single need for epilepsy care is training of health workers especially in the peripheral clinics. Most treatment gaps occur in rural areas where health workers lack knowledge about the disease and its treatment, and many countries have only a handful of health care workers who are knowledgeable about epilepsy. Second on the list was access to antiepileptic drugs, which is limited by cost, availability (patients in many countries have only a limited choice of these drugs which have erratic availability) and knowledge of how to use them.
In addition to limited expertise and availability of effective medications, there is a simple lack of awareness that treatment exists. Professor Magazi noted that greater awareness about the disease and its treatment will go a long way to improving care. This issue looms larger the farther one is from urban settings where knowledge about modern medicine is often quite limited. Some of those interviewed indicated that this lack of awareness may be a far greater impediment than the potential costs of treatment. Professor Newton noted that the costs of seeing a physician and obtaining antiepileptic medications may not be much different than the fees of a traditional healer. However these comparisons can be difficult, as one requires cash and the other is often paid in goods. Paying for services also varies from country to country. In some countries, there are a few people who have private health insurance. In some countries there is no insurance and payment is entirely out of pocket. In a few, such as Malawi and Zambia, care is free to all at government hospitals. For those who don't have insurance in South Africa, there is expectation of payment, but payment is on a sliding scale, depending on the patient's resources.
To combat the widespread ignorance about the disease, a number of groups are actively developing epilepsy awareness programs. Professor Diop said that the Senegalese Epilepsy Association regularly provides information through radio programs and newspapers. In addition there are regular workshops about epilepsy in schools and to women's associations. They have also had several workshops with traditional healers. All of these efforts have resulted in a significant increase in hospital visits for seizures and epilepsy. The Kenya Association for the Welfare of people with Epilepsy (KAWE) has a number of programs to raise awareness, and there is a television melodrama that includes someone with epilepsy. Still utilization of resources is low and stigmatization is still high. According to Dr Malu the National League Against Epilepsy in the Democratic Republic of Congo is developing an awareness program that is in part aimed at politicians and other decision-makers. Epilepsy South Africa also has radio programs to increase awareness. Across the continent it is essential to reach the people in positions of influence, as they are the ones who must be reached if national infrastructure for epilepsy is to be improved. Dr Saddiqi told me that in Zambia the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) association has worked hard to increase awareness at the Ministry of Health, which has resulted in improved resources for epilepsy. Some of the countries have individualized awareness programs to educate patients, families and small groups. These programs involve personal contact, often with a social worker or nurse. However, as Professor Wilmshurst pointed out, even though these programs are effective, there are simply not enough trained people involved to reach everyone.
One of the greatest obstacles faced in improving epilepsy care throughout the region is the low priority it receives in the public health arena. This observation was a universal comment among all of the people whom I interviewed. Infectious disease, especially the well known HIV pandemic that affects millions of people in many African countries, is receiving greater attention because of the high mortality. But, as Professor Newton pointed out, there are other reasons as well. In Kenya, he explained that another reason for the low priority for epilepsy is the common perception of epilepsy, which is viewed with the associated stigma and belief that people affected by the disease have limited intellectual capacity. For these reasons the public health benefit of treatment will show little gain for the investment of national resources. However, it is not so bleak everywhere. Dr. Saddiqi explained that in Zambia, the awareness programs initiated by the local IBE group have convinced the health ministry that greater support was a good investment for the country.
Because the lack of human expertise is a major impediment to progress, training programs are essential to improving epilepsy care. There appears to be more variability across countries in the existence and nature of training resources. Some countries, such as Senegal, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa, have some neurologists and a few epilepsy specialists (although very few for the size of the population); others such as Malawi and Zambia have less than five each. In almost all instances, these specialists are concentrated in the major urban centers. There are neurology training programs in Senegal, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa. In Senegal there is a diploma program for epilepsy as part of advanced medical training, and in South Africa there are several epilepsy centers in the tertiary medical centers at which additional epilepsy training takes place. The amount of time dedicated to epilepsy education is limited for doctors in training. Similarly, training for nurses and medical officers may include a very basic introduction to epilepsy. KAWE in Kenya does provide some training for community health workers. Diagnostic facilities such as MRI and EEG are available on a limited basis, but again these are in the major population centers and hard to reach for many.
Although there is always the reaction to send physicians out of Africa to obtain the needed training, there was unanimity among the leaders with whom I spoke that such an approach is generally not useful. First, many who go abroad choose to stay abroad. Just as important, the training they receive outside of Africa has little relevance to many of the conditions they will encounter or to the resources they will have at home to do their work. All agreed that training should happen locally, and training is the key to solving the critical manpower shortage that is the basis for improving epilepsy care.
All of the African leaders look forward to the day when treatment is not limited by patient resources, poor access to medications, and the lack of expertise. What impressed me in my discussions at the Epilepsy Congress is the enthusiasm and dedication in the African epilepsy community. There was optimism tempered with the recognition of the current realities. It is clear that much progress has been made already, and that this progress is a good sign for the future.

Mood Food - How your diet can affect your anxiety
Everyone knows a good diet is important to physical health, but it can also help with mental health. Different nutrients affect the brain in different ways, and getting enough of the right ones can help you fight mental illness. Here are some which are especially good for anxiety.
Food and Mood
Omega 3 fatty acids keep your brain healthy, and can also reduce inflammation which can lead to anxiety by affecting nerve cells in the brain. They can also affect the release and uptake of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, chemicals which affect mood and nerve function. Omega 3s are found in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, and trout, and fish oil capsules are widely available. This isn't the only source, though; seeds and nuts, especially walnuts and flaxseed, are full of them too, and vegan omega 3 supplements are made from algae. Plant oils are also a good source, and as unsaturated fats are much healthier than saturated animal fats, so try to use vegetable oil instead of butter for cooking.
Vitamin D affects brain function, and low levels are connected to Seasonal Affective Disorder. Sunlight causes the body to make its own vitamin D, but extra in your diet will help too, especially in winter. Oily fish is again a good source, as are dairy and eggs. For non-animal sources, try mushrooms.
Unlike vitamin D, tryptophan can't be made in the body, so you need it from your diet. It can be found in meat, eggs, seeds, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils), bananas, and oats, and is processed into serotonin in the body. It helps with relaxation and sleep.
B-complex vitamins are also involved in the production of neurotransmitters and can be found in whole grains like brown rice, and in avocados, broccoli, seeds, nuts, legumes, dairy, and meat. Try different grains; porridge is a good breakfast, barley makes a great substitute for rice, and gluten-free pasta made of brown rice or lentils makes a nice change from wheat pasta. Swap white bread for brown as much as possible, since brown bread contains the outer shell of the wheat grain where most of the B vitamins are. Whole grains also provide slow-release carbohydrates, which keep your blood sugar steady and make you less likely to feel hungry between meals, which also helps with anxiety – no one's in a good mood when they're hungry.
Antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E are found in fruit and vegetables. Make sure to eat lots of different kinds to get the most benefit; try to eat vegetables of different colours each day, as they have different nutrients. One of the strongest antioxidants is lycopene, the red pigment in tomatoes, and bell peppers have some of the highest levels of vitamin C of all vegetables. Dark leafy greens are also good, as they contain lots of trace minerals which will improve your health in many ways. Try to eat more vegetables than fruit, as fruit is high in sugar.
Foods to improve mood
Healthy gut flora has been linked to mental health. A balanced diet will help, but try some probiotic foods as well. Yoghurt is a favourite – make sure to choose one with live cultures listed on the label – but other probiotic foods include pickles and cottage cheese or cheddar. If you're feeling more adventurous, try sauerkraut, kimchi, or miso soup.
Sugar provides a quick mood and energy boost, but don't rely on it, because your body processes it very fast and when it's gone you'll be left feeling worse off than before. Try to limit your intake and stick to slow-release carbs instead. Don't replace them with artificial sweeteners, which have been linked to low mood and can make you hungrier later on. No need to deny yourself completely, though; small amounts of dark chocolate contain tryptophan, antioxidants, and magnesium, which can all improve your mood. If you really miss ice cream, try mashing up frozen soft fruits like bananas and avocados to a creamy texture, or freeze some yoghurt.
Caffeine and alcohol can also make you feel worse, so limit them. Try switching coffee for herbal tea; chamomile, fennel, and lavender blends are especially relaxing. Green tea is caffeinated, so try not to drink too much, but contains antioxidants such as theanine, so it's the best option if you really need caffeine.
Remember to drink lots of water, preferably slowly throughout the day instead of in large amounts once or twice a day so your body can absorb it properly. Good hydration increases blood flow, allowing nutrients and neurotransmitters to be carried through the body quickly and reducing inflammation, and allows the body to eliminate toxins.
A varied, balanced diet will ensure you get all the nutrients you need to keep your body healthy, which will, in turn, keep your brain healthier.
And, of course, if you need help in sticking to your new routines, or in dealing with anxiety, give me a call.

Marriage and minorities
Laws governing marriage, divorce and inheritance in the minority communities in some instances predate Partition, and have been the source of considerable inconvenience to minorities since Pakistan came into being. Attempts to redress their grievances by reforming legislation have, to say the very least, had mixed success. Some hope for the Hindu community has now appeared on the horizon in the form of the Hindu Marriage Bill 2015. The Standing Committee on Law and Justice, sitting with five Hindu MNAs who were specially invited, have adopted the Bill unanimously with the addition of two amendments fixing the age of marriage at 18 for both men and women and making the new law applicable to the entire country, not only the federal territory.
The Hindu minority is tiny, and shrinking as they come under pressure either to convert or to shift their businesses from ancestral locations. The difficulties of legalising marriage has the knock-on effect of creating other problems in making changes in the CNIC, and NADRA recognising Hindu marriages as legal. Why it has taken so long to produce a piece of legislation that affects such a small minority is something of a mystery, and there were members of the Standing Committee who until the very last were stonewalling the Bill.
Committee Chairman Chaudhry Mahmood Bashir Virk said that he regretted what he described as a "tactical delay" in the framing of a basic piece of legislation. He lamented, rightly, that it was unbecoming of Muslims in general and their political leaders in particular to deny the rights of minorities who presented no threat to the Muslim faith or the state itself. With Hindus being less than one per cent of the population, Mr Virk has a point. Peaceful and almost invisible for the most part, they are regularly marginalised and discriminated against, the vast majority being low-caste, poor and with little chance of advancement. It is to be hoped that the Bill will now be signed into law by the lower house and a wrong righted, though from the behaviour of some members of the Standing Committee, its progress may not be automatic.

Every content creator of any kind knows that, once you get a large enough following or fanbase, inevitably those fans are going to take your work and run with it. Inspired by your creations, they will build on your world, adding to or altering it to create an entire fan based canon, or fanon, around your work. Characters may change, the story may go in a new direction, and whole new story arcs could be added all built off your little world. While frightening, this can also be a testament to just how inspiring the world you created really is.
Though it's common to see such fan works come out of novels, movies, and television shows, even successful YouTubers have had their fans build whole new fanon scenarios around them. One such YouTuber is the ever lovable Jacksepticeye. With well over twelve million subscribers as of the time of writing, the energetic Irishman has quite the fanbase, so it's no surprise that many of them have taken inspiration from him and created their own fan driven scenarios and fictional works around the prominent Let's Player. But lately, all attention has been on one fan creation in particular: Antisepticeye.
Antisepticeye, or Anti for short, is a fan driven, evil and twisted incarnation of the normally loud yet friendly Jack. A simple search on DeviantArt can produce many works of art depicting Anti in a sinister pose, often with channel mascot Septic Sam, a floating green septic eye with a life of its own. Anti is often also associated with glitching electronics, and is considered to be the opposite of his namesake in personality.
Of course, this is all just fanon. And while Jacksepticeye himself will encourage his viewers to push their creativity to the limits, Anti has never been considered a "real" part of the community. Just some fan inspired fun, and nothing more.
Until October 10th, 2016, when Jackscepticeye uploaded the first part of his play through of "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location". While watching, many fans noted something unusual happening, not just in the game, but in Jack's webcam as well.
This drove fan speculation through the roof. Some (including myself), simply thought this was just a touch to add to the atmosphere to the latest FNAF game. Others soon jumped on it possibly being Anti, and the conversations began to run wild. It wasn't long before everyone jumped on the Antisepticeye bandwagon, and with good reason. Every part of the "Sister Location" series has multiple such glitches occurring in Jack's webcam, often appearing randomly or during lulls in the game play. Sometimes it simply looks like static. Other times a phantom image of another Jack will appear spliced in or overlaying the feed, as if Anti was desperately trying to break through to the viewers, without Jack's knowledge.
And it hasn't been just in the videos. It wasn't long before Jack's social media outlets were seeing the same corruption, from his Tumblr page to his Twitter feed, the familiar Septic Sam icon has become glitched, getting worse and worse throughout the month. And mysteriously cryptic and ominous posts have been randomly cropping up, warning of an upcoming arrival and suffering.
The post above is from Jacksepticeye's Tumblr blog. Through the garbled text you can just make out the question "do you really like him that much?", with the tag "MAKE HIM SUFFER". The blog header bares the warning "you won't like it".
It seems clear here that, at least for this month of October, Antisepticeye is more than just a fan creation. He is real, and he is coming. Speculation has him attempting a full takeover of the channel on Halloween, which isn't really much of a surprise. The community has gone in full gear in response, creating a myriad of fanart to the twisted alternate YouTuber, and engaging in a great deal of conversation about Anti's arrival, origins, and intentions. Creativity over the topic is at an all time high, perfect for the season of spooks.
Whatever the case may be, it's apparent that Anti is coming, and there's not much anyone can do to stop him. We just have to sit and wait for Halloween, just a few short days away, to see what will happen to this fanon creation turned reality.
He is coming

Injured on the job?
The workers' compensation system attempts to streamline the process for handling work-related injuries and illnesses, such as a loss of limb, back injury, or repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The system generally provides fixed remedies to employees suffering from work-related injuries without requiring the employee to prove fault, thereby minimizing the need for litigation and its associated costs. Benefits from workers' compensation insurance may include medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits.
The workers' compensation system is typically an alternative to filing a civil lawsuit for a personal injury claim, and in most cases, you may not pursue both avenues for compensation for an injury.
A workers' compensation lawyer can help you navigate the workers' compensation system to get the full benefits to which you are entitled. If your injury was caused by someone or something not covered by your employer's workers' compensation insurance, a workers' compensation attorney can help you file a third-party claim so that you get the compensation you deserve.
Sometimes workers' compensation attorneys also handle matters in personal injury or employment law. However, some attorneys also handle workers' compensation matters exclusively.
Cumulative injury: The career total of an employee's job-related injuries resulting in disabilities.
Third-party claim: A legal claim by an employee against a party who is not the employer and whose negligence caused injury during or in the course of employment.

I just finished my 2nd NESp today, it's substantially larger than my first because it uses an original NES instead of an NOAC. I've had it laying around mostly finished for months, but didn't get a battery for it until a few days ago. I added a few features that weren't in my first, such as 1st and 2nd player controller ports, LED's for the backlight, a clear case, and a built-in rechargeable battery (2000mAh Ni-Cds, which aren't great, but work okay), but I didn't put in AV output (though I probably will later). It's currently taped shut with electrical tape, I'm hoping I'll be able to find a better way to hold it together later. Unfortunately, I was only able to use RF for the screen in it, so it gets interference at times and the sound was so terrible that I decided to attach the speaker directly to the NES with no amplification. It works well with headphones, at least. Anyway, here are some pictures:
I'll probably put up pictures of it running tomorrow after the battery recharges.

World of Warcracft or WoW as it is passionately referred to by fans, is a wonderful game that offers challenging but fun game play. To enjoy the game maximally however you need to know more than just how to play it. Having a few World of Warcraft tips at your finger tips will prove handy. With these tips you will be able to get to the very top of leaderboards within no time. Whether you are just joining the World of Warcraft or have been playing for a while you will find the following tips helpful.
Be careful about Playing in groups
There are many quests that will require you to play in groups. Trying to play these solo will prove futile and you will be stuck in the lower levels. Instead, get buddies and create a team so you can move faster and more comfortably. However, avoid groups that will drag your progress rather than boost it. These will waste your time instead of quickening your progress. If you are a paladin or Shaman that you can easily heal yourself it is best to go alone. If you are a priest or mage with little armor it is best to play in groups. Choose a group that does not keep dying every now and then when they try to complete a quest together.
Level grinding to finish a level faster
Level grinding refers to the act of killing things that are a few levels behind the one you are currently at. This helps you to build your EXP and complete the level faster. You are more familiar with this and so you can act fast, get less damage and recover more quickly. This is the trick to moving up the levels fast.
Get a leveling guide
There are guides that have been written with the aim of helping warcrafters get through each level. Look for this and you will be able to get through each level fast. These are prepared by authors who have looked at the levels and understood what each of them requires the player to do. With their witty guide therefore you will know how to go through the level and kill all foes and advance to the next. This is the best cheat sheet there is out there for this game.
With the above world of warcraft tips you will surely be among the best soon. Just keep playing and enjoy what you do on the Warcraft interface an you shall success. Good luck!
Here is How You Can Achieve Great Success in World of Warcraft,

Are you in the market for the best iPhone power banks?
Does your iPhone often run out of battery while you're on the go?
You've come to the right place because we've sorted out the best portable chargers for iPhone you can buy in 2020.
When it comes to buying a new smartphone, battery life is one of the most important things to take into consideration. But since you use your iPhone for almost everything, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to occasionally charge your phone. A portable power bank charger will be a lifesaver when there's no power outlet on site.
How do you choose the best power bank?
Finding the best power bank for your phone will depend on various factors. If you're someone who often is in long trips, camps or any places without power outlet at reach, a high battery capacity would best suit your needs.
People like me who always carry at least three electronic devices (laptop, tablet, and smartphone), not only you'll need a high battery capacity but also one with at least two USB-out ports so you can charge your devices at once.
If you are someone who spends most of his or her day out and always ends up with a dead phone, a lightweight portable charger to carry you through the day is all you need. You should also take compatibility into consideration before making a buying decision. Without further ado, here are the best iPhone power banks you should buy if you want to keep your iPhone juiced up all the time.
- RAVPower 26800
- TravelCard Charger
- Jackery Bolt
- Anker PowerCore 20100
- Aibocn 10000mAh
- ZMI PowerPack 10K
- Xiaomi 10,000mAh Power Bank Pro
- Anker PowerCore II 10,000mAh Power Bank
Tip: Click or tap the links above to jump to a specific section or keep scrolling through to learn about them all.
Best iPhone Power Banks in 2020
1. RAVPower 26800
With its gigantic battery capacity, the Ravpower has enough power to recharge your iPhone at least six times for an average of almost ten days. There are three ports so you can charge three devices simultaneously without slowing down.
When it comes to charging the battery, it can take a few hours before reaching full charging capacity. Don't let it run out of charge because it can take days (two or three) to recharge it.
Built with premium material, enclosed in a classic black matte case that is scratch resistant. It's heavy and bulky, but it's totally worth it considering what it has to offer. This power bank is ideal for those who are going on a long trip.
2. TravelCard Charger
This is the smallest battery charger you can buy at the time of this writing. To put that into context, the TravelCard is just about the size of a credit card.
The battery offers 1500 mAh, which won't give your iPhone a full charge. But for a portable battery charger of this size, we shouldn't expect otherwise.
There is a built-in USB type A to recharge the battery itself and a lightning connector to recharge your iPhone. The battery is well made and very convenient, you don't need to carry any extra cable. Just grab it when you're on the move and you're all set.
3. Jackery Bolt
If you'd like more power but don't want anything bulky and too heavy, the Jackery Bolt portable charger is the right battery charger for you. With 6000 mAh, you'll have enough power to juice up your smartphone at least twice before needing to recharge the battery itself.
What we like most about this power bank, it can charge three devices all at once, making this perfect for everyday use.
You can charge two devices via the integrated cables (lightning connector and micro USB) and one via the USB port. There's no need to worry about carrying any extra cables.
4. Anker PowerCore 20100
You must be familiar with the brand. Anker already has a good reputation for making good consumer electronics, so the Anker PowerCore portable charger just boosts its reputation even more in the industry.
With 20100 mAh of capacity, this Anker PowerCore can charge your iPhone for at least 5 days, if not more. The unit comes with two USB ports with PowerIQ and voltage boost technology that allow charging two devices at the same time. You can charge the battery itself through a micro USB port and can take up to 8-10 hours to reach its maximum capacity.
The company offers a whopping 18-months warranty to protect your charger if anything ever happens.
5. Aibocn 10000mAh
The Aibocn power bank got a 10000mAh battery, which should be able to power up your iPhone at least 3 or 4 times without needed to recharge the battery itself.
There're two USB outputs, with 2.1A for fast charging and 1.0A, so you can charge two devices simultaneously. The battery can take around 4-5 hours to be fully charged. It feels solid and well built with a compact size which makes it convenient to carry around.
The battery comes with a 1-year warranty and can be purchased for as low as $11.
6. ZMI PowerPack 10K
The nice-looking ZMI PowerPack is a life-saver when going on a long trip. No more worries about dead phones. The power bank provides 10,000mAh capacity which is good enough to charge your iPhone 3 times.
It can be hard to find a product that's both stylish and brings value to your money. But that's not the case for the ZMI portable charger. It's sleek, thin, and has a nice solid plastic shell that makes it anti-slippery.
With the USB-C connector, you can charge. It also has fast charging, which is convenient for those phones that support it. One thing to consider, it only has one outgoing outlet so you can only charge one device at a time.
7. Xiaomi 10,000mAh Power Bank Pro
The Xiaomi is another sleek and slim portable charger that doesn't disappoint. The portable charger has a gorgeous aluminum exterior with CNC-finished edges that give it a premium feel which usually can be found on high-end smartphones.
Inside you'll find 10,000 mAh high-density Lithium polymer batteries. On the top edge, there are two ports, a USB Type-A for charging your phone, and a USB Type-C for power in, which supports fast charging. Next to the ports, are four lights indicators, and a power button.
The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Pro is a steal at this price. You get a clean and stylish design that packs plenty of juice for your phone.
8. Anker PowerCore II 10,000mAh Power Bank
If you're looking for a small-medium sized portable charger with enough amount of capacity to juice up your iPhone, the Anker PowerCore II is for you.
The power bank houses a 10,000 mAh battery, one USB charging port. It takes a while to fully charge, however it's super fast when it comes to charging your phone.
If this article helped you pick up the best portable charger for your iPhone, please share and/or recommend it, so your friends can benefit from it too.

The draft process was put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, but now we have a little clarity. The NBA draft lottery will be Aug. 25 and the 2020 draft will be Oct. 15.
The leadup and pre-draft prep still needs to be worked out, but it is a weak draft class, and there are question marks surrounding a handful of players projected to go in the lottery. Here are five potential lottery selections who have high ceilings, yet offer high risks.
PG LaMelo Ball
Ht./Wt.: 6-7, 180
Illawarra (National Basketball League): 17 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 7 apg
Draft range: 1-5
Ball is one of the most intriguing players in this draft. He's a high-volume shooter with deep range like Trae Young and isn't afraid to let it fly from all over the court. Like his older brother, Lonzo, his shooting form is a little unorthodox. LaMelo's release is more in the center of his body with his left elbow flaring out. He only played 12 games in Australia before returning to the U.S. after suffering a minor foot injury. In those 12 games, he made 20 3-pointers but only shot 25 percent from deep. Ball became the first player to record back-to-back triple doubles in the NBL since 2005, but in the second game he took 28 shots to get 25 points and was minus-13 for the game.
There are also concerns on the defensive end. Although he has great length with his 6-foot-10 wingspan, he still gets beat frequently one-on-one and has trouble keeping players in front of him.
Ball doesn't turn 19 until August and might have the most potential to be a franchise-changing player. Teams can't overlook the glaring issues of his father's off-the-court antics and that alone is a risk. Lonzo went No. 2 overall to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017 and only spent two seasons with L.A. before being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in the Anthony Davis deal. Will history repeat itself with LaMelo, or will he be a star?
SF Jaden McDaniels
Ht./Wt.: 6-9, 200
Class: Freshman
Washington: 13 ppg, 5.8 rpg
Draft range: 13-16
McDaniels passes the eye test, but he didn't exactly have an incredible season in his lone year at Washington and he might be the riskiest player in this draft. "There is no other player in this draft with a higher ceiling than Jaden McDaniels, but no one knows if or when he'll ever reach his full potential and that's the risk you're taking," an NBA scout told Yahoo Sports.
McDaniels was a late bloomer in high school and wasn't considered a top recruit until the end of his junior year. He chose his hometown school of Washington over Kentucky, and NBA scouts got a chance to see him up close at the McDonald's All-American Game. McDaniels is built like Kevin Durant with his long 6-foot-9 frame and has all the necessary tools to be a threat on the wing.
Defensively, McDaniels was one of the best shot blockers in the conference, finishing fourth with 43 blocks, and he was a decent rebounder, grabbing 10.6 boards per 100 possessions. Offensively, he struggled, recording 100 turnovers (second in the Pac-12) and only shooting 34 percent from the 3-point line.
His potential lies in his size and versatility, and he could be ideal in mismatch scenarios. He has a high release on his jump shot, and though he only averaged 13 points per game, he did average 23.8 points and shot 40 percent from the field per 100 possessions.
PG Cole Anthony
Ht./Wt.: 6-3, 190
Class: Freshman
North Carolina: 18.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4 apg
Draft range: 8-14
The ball-dominant point guard spent one year at North Carolina and was hit with a wall of obstacles, including a knee injury that sidelined him for six weeks. The team struggled, finishing 14-19, coach Roy Williams' worst season as a Tar Heel.
There is no question that Anthony can score. He has a great downhill game and is also a fluid passer off the drive. He played 22 games and averaged 18.5 points and was ninth in the ACC in free-throw attempts, getting to the line more than 60 times. His jump shot still needs some work and he struggled from three late in the season.
Anthony doesn't have much experience playing off the ball, and some teams might hesitate to draft him as a lead guard. His passing is solid, but his runners and floaters in the lane were questionable, falling at a 25 percent clip. There are also teams near his draft range that have established lead guards, so could he play more of a combo guard role? That might be tough. With Anthony being more of a true point guard, some teams early in the lottery might pass on him for a more versatile guard.
PF Precious Achiuwa
Ht./Wt.: 6-9, 225
Class: Freshman
Memphis: 15.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg
Draft range: 8-15
Achiuwa stepped up in a big way once James Wiseman left the team in December and became the top option for coach Penny Hardaway. It's easy to see why teams would consider taking him in the lottery. He has great size and is extremely athletic.
However, there are some serious questions as to how his game will translate to the NBA. He's not the greatest shooter and his jump shot does not extend past the 3-point line. In 31 games this season, Achiuwa attempted 40 threes, making 13. He did shoot 50 percent from the field and is a high-volume shooter who sometimes needs 15 or 20 shots to score 20 or more points.
He was one of the best rebounders in the country, grabbing 334 rebounds to lead the conference, and was third in the league in blocks with 58. Achiuwa is most likely a rotational big who will see some solid minutes, but teams in the top 10 might value a guard or a wing because of how the NBA now values shooters and playmakers.
SF Isaac Okoro
Ht./Wt.: 6-6, 225
Class: Freshman
Auburn: 12.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2 apg
Draft range: 4-10
No one got to the rim better than Okoro this past college basketball season. He has a deadly first step on the wing and has a strong downhill game. He plays above the rim and has speed in transition for a player his size. All are very appealing qualities for an NBA wing.
One thing that Okoro is lacking is outside shooting. He shot 51.4 percent from the field but 29 percent from 3-point range. His shot mechanics are inconsistent, and he is easily affected by closeouts or a hand in his face. He also only shot 67 percent from the free-throw line, a surprisingly low number for someone with a decent midrange jumper. Okoro only connected on approximately six field goals per game and only 19.2 percent of those attempts were from beyond five feet.
Teams looking to draft Okoro could be looking two or three years down the road for him to develop. Some consider Okoro's NBA comp to be Kawhi Leonard, so he is obviously a risk some teams in the top 10 could be willing to take.

Reviewed by: Ryan McLelland
This is a very hard review for me to write because I love the Ready Player One book and I really did not like the film. The film is not a direct adaptation of the novel and only uses the very core concept: kid looking for 3 keys to obtain an Easter Egg in a videogame so he can win half a trillion dollars and the ownership of the game itself (WORTH A LOT MORE). The story that is built around that concept, written by Zak Penn and RPO's author Ernie Cline, completely turns away from the book's plot for a more simplistic story. I went with my wife and best friend to see the film. Wife thought it was good. Best friend thought it was outstanding. What does that tell me?
It tells me that once again the book is way better than the movie. It tells me that if you haven't read the book you may find the experience fantastic. I expected something that would have adhered a lot closer to the book. I understand the need to get permissions for all the different IPs from the book to the film, but I don't mean that kind of "closer." The Ready Player One novel's story is fantastic. The overly simple plot of the film? It's great for those who are unfamiliar with the book. It is even great for those who are fans of the book. Someone tweeted me back last night saying they loved the book and love the movie. But me? I couldn't get into it because of how different it is. I am unable to separate the book and the movie.
Is my hangup with the book keeping me from enjoying the film? Will I come to love the film with multiple watches? There are plenty of times that I watch something, don't like it, then return to it only to find that I truly love it. That's okay. It's my opinion and my opinion is allowed to change. Technically the film is amazing. The CGI is gorgeous. Director Steven Spielberg really made the "outside world" look just how I imagine it would from the novel. The acting is pretty great though amazing actor Ben Mendelsohn really hams it up as the head of IOI, Nolan Sorrento. Sorrento was a dick in the book, but he was confident. Mendelsohn's Sorrento was not. I would rather have seen a bit more Pope Cody or Orson Krennic in there. Not that he was bad. Even hamming it up I thought him pretty good.
Let me describe the plot of this flick for a moment: Ready Player One revolves around people around the world playing a virtual reality game called Oasis. You can do everything there. Play golf. Shoot people. Hang out. Dance. Whatever you like. Basically life in 2045 sucks and America is dying. So people go into the Oasis to escape. The creator of The Oasis died 5 years prior and, when he died, a contest was announced. Collect 3 keys, find the hidden Easter Egg, and win total control. It becomes an obsession for those inside the Oasis.
Parzival aka Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) is a gunter – someone looking for the Egg. He usually hangs out with his massive beast of a friend Aech. A gunter had found the entrance to where the first key is hidden. It's a car race – a car race that no one is able to win. As the movie starts, a girl named Art3mis shows up (RIDING KANEDA'S MOTORCYCLE FROM AKIRA WHICH IS BADASS!). Parzival, Aech, and Art3mis kind of become friends after once again failing the race. But then Parzival is able to figure something out from a sentence that Art3mis said to him and he is able to find the first key.
Soon the race is one to find the rest of the keys. The evil corporation IOI, run by Sorrento, has a legion of people playing the game and trying to win the Egg. If IOI wins they get to take over the Oasis, monetize it, and reap the rewards forever. So the race is on. The trio are joined by two other Asian characters named Sho and Daito and together they go off to get the Egg first, often working together.
The pop culture references in the movie are fantastic and I may have to watch this flick multiple times just to see if I can spot every one of them. The plot? The great thing about the book is how much these characters are loners. They are in it for themselves. There is no easy way to just, "HEY I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE KEY!" moments like in this movie. It takes time. In the book it takes a hell of a lot of time. I get that it is condensed because its a movie, but there is no reason for this entire film to feel like it took place over just two days. The friendships have meaning in the book and leads to a third act where Parzival sacrifices everything for these people that he doesn't even know. It is brilliant. AND, of course, it is not in the movie. No need to change the book. They just did. Because…reasons or something.
I guess actor Tye Sheridan was okay. I don't particularly find him to be a good actor. I didn't like him in X-Men Apocolpyse (which I found to be an atrocious film all together) but I can say he was better in this then he was in that X-film. Olivia Cooke was fantastic as Art3mis as was Mark Rylance's James Halliday. Even as a "dead guy", Halliday was one of my more favorite characters of the film.
The movie adds two new characters in TJ Miller's i-R0k as a hitman for hire hunting Parzival for IOI in The Oasis and Hannah John-Kamen's F'nale who hunts Wade in the real world. Um….F'nale? I guess they call her that in the movie but every time she's onscreen I'm thinking, "She's really cute but those bangs are fucking awful." So I really didn't catch the name until I went home and looked it up.
At the end of the day, Ready Player One is a tentpole film released in March by one of the most legendary directors of all time. It is fun at times, I can admit that. I can also admit that this may be a film that will grow on me the more I watch it. I'm sure there will be people out there who will love to say, "You are wrong because of (insert something here) or (insert something there)."
Maybe you are right. Maybe you are wrong. But give me a choice of watching this movie or rereading the book once again – I'm going to pick the book every time. The book is a brilliant homage to the 80's, videogame culture, friendship, and virtual reality. The film just feels like a cheap, hollow version of that. My buddy Russ said about the film, "The only way you could possibly genuinely enjoy Ready Player One is if you're the kind of person who's extremely proud of themselves every time you jerk off." Are you instantly supposed to love this simplistic plot because "OOOOH IPs IN THE MOVIE!?!?!?!" I don't and I think Russ' response is apt. They should put that quote on the 4K cover.

I rushed outside this morning (running behind) to find the air crisp and feeling very much like my favorite season on the way.
Work was "work" and progress seemed to crawl along. I managed to complete (let's hope) a Python script to inject binary values into two registry keys depending on what system it runs on. The keys represent "mail boxes" for locked printer jobs.
The hex encoded binary string is 8176 characters long (only stating it because I'm sort of amazed at the length) and contains all settings for that printer. I wonder if the devs realized that breaking individual settings out into subkeys would be a good thing?
Oh well.
I'm also making good progress on an audio volume limiter (governor). It'll run every X seconds and make sure that the various mixer volume levels are within a set threshold. If not the volume controls will be lowered to the maximum allowed.
The concept and pseudocode is pretty simple, but dealing with the WinAPIs is another story.
Thankfully I found an article showing how to set the master volume and I managed to get the waveOut code from there. I had no idea just how ugly working with ALL CAPS TYPEDEFS CAN BE. IT'S NOT LIKE IT MAKES IT HARD TO READ OR ANYTHING. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Rating: ★★★★
Verdict: A musical play that teaches the importance of love and peace through Rock music.
The first show of Alyque Padamsee's Jesus Christ Superstar opened in St. Andrew's Auditorium, Bandra on December 5th, 2014. The show marked the beginning of the first season of the musical. It will return once again on January 16, 17 and 18 for its second season.
Originally staged in 1970, Jesus Christ Superstar had music by the great Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by the equally awesome Tim Rice. Every other staging of the musical, including the 1973 film, has used the same composition, while adding new layers to the overall act. The recent shows saw the likes of Glenn Carter and Tim Minchin participating in the musical to give the show a new feel.
But this isn't the first time the Indian audience got to watch Jesus Christ Superstar. In his foreword, Mr. Padamsee acknowledged how the journey began for him 40 years ago, where his hunt lead him to the legendary Nandu Bhende (who played Judas). Mr. Bhende, unfortunately passed away earlier this year, and Mr. Padamsee dedicated the show to his memory.
The night opened to a packed auditorium. There were kids singing the famous "Hosanna" from the show, ushering the audience to get into the mood as they waited for the doors to open. Once inside, you could see the stage was modified, with an extension added in the form of a cross-shaped ramp. This is both iconic and genius, as the extension gave the characters a chance to interact more freely with the crowd.
For a musical, Jesus Christ Superstar was impeccable. Every actor played his/her part with dedication, never leaving character and singing their pieces without going off-tune even once. The most important musical pieces were sung by the characters of Judas, Mary Magdalene and of course, Jesus. But even among them, Judas (played by rock singer 2Blue), was the one who managed to give me goosebumps every time he took to the stage. Nicholas Brown as Jesus was charismatic, and was calm and intense when needed. What's most notable is how he handled the song, Gethsemane (I only want to say), which is one of the most complicated vocal pieces in the history of musical plays.
The execution of certain scenes is commendable. Especially the one where neon lights are used to portray Jesus' dilemma and the use of side projections to create pillars, transporting you to a Roman palace. An underlying message about today's media and warring armies also resonates throughout Jesus' trial. The performers also make full use of Shiamak Davar's choreography to give a modern edge to certain musical numbers.
The only complaint would be with how the scenes transitioned, with the musical interludes not being in sync. But once the characters started to sing, the audience was completely engrossed in the scene, ignoring the minor flaws. This is again noteworthy, since the play doesn't bring anything new in terms of story (the passion of Jesus Christ is a story we are all too aware of). The curtain closes with Jesus dying on the cross, and Mother Mary singing in his memory. There was no curtain call because of the nature of the play, and the audience quietly moved out.
The memorable tunes were hummed by some, while others spoke about how well the actors performed their role. But what struck everyone the most, is the message. The message that surpasses religion and time. The message that the only thing humanity has ever needed – is peace.
