text: Academic Research on Military-Connected Students Section 1 ContentDating to its founding in 1918, the American Council on Education (ACE) has a long history of serving both military-connected students and the diverse array of colleges and universities that welcome them as they undertake postsecondary education. In its role as higher education's coordinating body and convener, ACE provides colleges and universities with tools, resources, and ways to share information about how to best serve this student population. ACE helps military and veteran students attain their postsecondary education goals through evaluations of military training and experiences and by facilitating the process of military transcripts.Toolkit for Veteran Friendly InstitutionsOriginally designed as a collaborative online resource, the ACE's Toolkit for Veteran Friendly Institutions (now archived after functioning from 2012 to 2016 as an online resource) helps institutions of higher education build effective programs for veteran students and share information. It highlights a variety of best practices, including veteran-specific orientation, on-campus veteran service centers, prospective student outreach efforts, faculty training, and counseling and psychological services for veteran students.

Andropause (Man-o-pause)
Man-o-pause, Andropause, "low T"…whatever, is the relative deficiency of testosterone in men. The symptoms are many including energy, mood, weight gain, low sex drive, irritable (who wouldn't be) as well as loss of muscle mass and increased fatigue. Historically all of these things were looked at like inevitabilities. Only in the past few years, lead in large part by non-medical advocates, has the reality of the importance of Low Testosterone become apparent. Imagine, for the past 50 years we have been telling diabetics that it's just normal, so get used to it. Or women with low thyroid that it's all in their head…wait, they have been told that and that is wrong too.
Regardless, low testosterone and its associated symptoms are practically epidemic. This is a public health issue. But public health is fueled in large part by big pharma and since there is no golden goose patent on treating men or women with low testosterone the studies are not funded, papers are not published and physicians are not typically educated on the importance of maintaining an appropriate balance of Testosterone. However, one exception does exist. The use of patented gels for the treatment of low testosterone. Gels, which are less than effective, messy and pose other issues for application, are found quickly on lead pages of internet searches because of agendas that have nothing to do with patient care.
It is difficult to convey to the lay public and medical professionals the critical nature of appropriate testosterone therapy without their having experience in patient encounters. This has never been more important than now as men seem to be becoming deficient at earlier ages than previously expected. Approximately 40% of men over 40 are suffering with low testosterone. The cause is unclear: whether it is due to epigenetics (the change in genetic expression related to exposure to environmental stimuli), heavy metals or run off from agricultural pesticides is important, but regardless of cause , the condition is characterized by a number of uncomfortable symptoms, including hot flashes in men, erectile dysfunction, low libido, irritability, muscle loss, and fatigue that are the result of low levels of testosterone. Symptoms include:
- Irritability
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Muscle loss
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Hair loss
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Memory loss
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
- Low energy
At the 2015 American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists conference, a panel of experts released a position statement citing testosterone therapy as a low risk, high reward treatment option. At the conference, the panel reviewed the mounting clinical evidence showing that low testosterone levels play a role in common co-morbidities, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, among men in all age groups and that testosterone therapy is a viable solution. These statements later received further backing when the results of large, long-term Veteran Affairs Database study that analyzed data collected on more than 83,000 male veterans with low testosterone levels was published. The findings, released in August 2015, showed that men who restored testosterone to normal levels with testosterone therapy were at a reduced risk of heart attack or stroke. In comparison, men who failed to receive treatment for low T experienced a 56 percent increase in all-cause mortality.
On the heels of the VA Database study, the results of a meta-analysis including more than 59 trials and 5,000 male subjects was published. The research uncovered the benefits of testosterone therapy for improving body composition and glucose metabolism in men with low testosterone, including notable beneficial effects in subjects suffering from obesity and metabolic disorders.
Treatment for Andropause (Man-o-pause) is Safe & Effective
Advances in science have yielded increased safety and efficacy in the treatment of low testosterone. We, as medical professionals, now have more accurate forms of testing and precise mechanisms for delivery of therapy.
Testosterone therapy is available in a variety of delivery methods including creams, gels, injections, and pellets. Pellet therapy has become the most sought-after delivery method of bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy, as it mimics the natural secretion process of endogenous testosterone. Testosterone pellet therapy delivers a steady dose of hormone over the course of three to four months, eliminating daily dosing hassles and reducing the risk of side effects.
The safety and effectiveness of any therapy is largely dependent on the care provided with the treatment plan. The lead researcher of the VA Database study pointed out, "Patients who failed to achieve the therapeutic range after testosterone replacement therapy did not see a reduction in [heart attack] or stroke and had significantly less benefit on mortality." A statement that underlines the importance of seeking expertise when considering testosterone therapy, including choosing expert practitioners that use sensitive lab testing and specialize in hormone therapy.

Best Laptops At CES 2019
The CES stands for Consumer Electronic Show. There are tons of laptops in showcase at CES this year but we're going to talk about best among them. Upon various laptops, some of them are really good and some of them are quiet opposite.
Let's talk about Dell first. The Dell showcase has Alienware XPS 13 which is updated and made available in silver and white color too. But talking about XPS 15, over three years it's been same with no major updates. Other gaming laptops of dell the g5, g7 are upadated and are currently running RTX 20 Series card. Also the design is also being changed. The most powerful one from DELL is Alienware Area 15 M, which runs RTX 2000. The most unique thing about this beast is it's hardware components can be upgraded.
Moving towards Razer, they have upgraded Razer Blade 15, which supports rtx GPU upto 2080 Max-Q. The amazing part is the updated webcam which can be used for facial recognition. With a lot of hope in Razer Blade Stealth, users are disappointed due to the lack of updates.
Moreover, MSI performed a RTX refresh on all devices. The MSI GS 65 can now run upto 2080 Max-Q. The GS 65 is expected to regain it's popularity this year also.
Acer manufactured the thinnest laptop in the world. The Acer Swift 7 is updated this year with some noticeable updates on the design. The Swift 7 is not built for everyone but users reported difficulty while using it's keyboard. Also the Acer Chromebook which costs around $280 is using AMD CPU and Radeon GPU. With inexpensive price tag, this Chromebook is quiet powerful than our imagination. Acer Triton 900, a gaming beast features a whole new gaming capability due to its screen design. You can move the screen and flip backward too.
Another Competitor in gaming laptop industry, GigaByte also have some updated devices. Aero 15 now supports NVIDIA RTX GPU. Moreover, the Aero 15 featured Microsoft Azure AI, which many of us may've not heard of. The AI simply learns your routine and it can perform some automated tasks while you're not using your laptop. It can also control the voltage supply depending on your gaming environment.
The last device we're going to talk about is non other than Huawei Matebook 13. It looks similar to the Macbook. Being priced at $1000, can easily win the competition over 13 inch Ultrabook. The MacbookAir may be disappointed with the new Huawei Matebook 13.
These devices are chosen ones from the CES.
Thank You for visiting us.

The Plastic Products Market is possibly the greatest market in the whole world. Not just is plastic product manufacturing more affordable than a lot of other structure product, it is very long lasting and simple to make. It's tough to discover anything nowadays that is not made-at least partly-with plastic. It's a billion dollar market and like whatever else these days-there are benefits and drawbacks to it.
Reality 1: Aeronautics is a substantial customer of plastics
It is intriguing to find that plastic was when a very combustible product This was because of that plastic items utilized to include cellulose nitrate which was a chemical that was extremely conscious heat. As soon as this was found, plastic product manufacturing started to make plastic without this chemical and now plastic is thought about to be fire retardant. It is an advantage that this truth was found prior to using vacuum kind plastic actually removed given that the procedure would have made use of severe heat making the plastic especially vulnerable to fire.
Reality 2: Plastic utilized to be extremely combustible.
Aeronautics is the market of creating, developing, and structure flying innovation and transport. Given that the increase of the plastic items business, aeronautics has actually changed from constructing flying parts and pieces from other products like steel, aluminum, and cause utilizing mainly plastic. This is done due to the fact that it is lighter, more affordable, and releases a particular quantity of radiation. Vacuum kind plastic is an especially huge part of this market as aeronautics utilize the product in the development of molds.
Truth 3: Plastic takes permanently to break down
Although plastic does decay, it does so at a very sluggish rate. It is an unfortunate state of affairs to think about that a water bottle will have a longer life expectancy than a human. Likewise decay of plastic can be rather poisonous as it releases hazardous chemicals such as carbon monoxide gas and benzene. This emission of chemicals is extremely damaging to the environment due to that there is such a big intake of plastic items worldwide.
Truth 4: Some kinds of plastic are not quickly recyclable
Although recycling is great for the environment, it is not constantly simple to do. The plastic items business utilize a product referred to as polystyrene in a few of their items. It is really difficult to recycle anything made with this product due to the fact that its scrap worth is virtually non-existent makings it not financially possible to recycle and recycle.

ECL Finance Ltd, the NBFC arm of Edelweiss Financial Services, today announced the public issue of unsecured redeemable non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of face value of Rs 1,000 each, aggregating to Rs 200 crore.
The issue also comes with an option to retain over- subscription up to Rs 200 crore, aggregating to a total of Rs 400 crore.
The NCDs, which will open for subscription on June 17 and close on July 2, are in the nature of subordinated debt with a tenure of 70 months.
The funds raised through the issue will be used for financing activities, including lending and investments, to repay existing loans and for business operations like capital expenditure and working capital requirements, Edelweiss Financial said in a statement here.
The NCDs offer investors an opportunity to lock in at interest rate of 12 per cent per annum with monthly, annual and cumulative options. The effective yield in monthly option works out to 12.68 per cent for 70 months tenure and under cumulative option, investors will get 2.01 times of the invested amount at maturity, it said.
"With a decisive and a pro-reform Government and RBI signalling a dovish policy outlook, the interest rate scenario has been on a softening trajectory.
"NCDs, with their attractive returns, offer a better yielding opportunity for retail investors amongst the other comparable options in debt. NCDs also provide liquidity as they are listed on the stock exchanges," Edelweiss Financial Services Chairman & CEO Rashesh Shah said.

The New World Climax - Illegal
Artist: Barthélémy Toguo (Born in Mbalmayo, Cameroon, 1967)
Culture: Cameroonian
Date: 2011
Medium: Woodcut on paper
Sheet: 31 1/2 × 23 5/8 inches (80 × 60 cm)
State: 1
Edition: 1
Classification: Print
Credit Line: Gift of Tom and Elizabeth Caine
Label Text:The New World Climax is a three-part project by Barthélémy Toguo begun in 2000 that combines sculpture, performance, and installation. The series reflects on the significance of man-made borders and the artist's own experience as an immigrant in countries like the U.S. and France. In New World Climax, Toguo reinterpreted the stamps found in a passport book as large wooden blocks, which he then used in a series of performances that paid tribute to immigrant workers. Toguo lifted the weighty wood to produce unique prints on paper, highlighting both the difficulty of carrying a non-western passport and the labor-intensive jobs taken up by immigrants. With stamps that read, for example, "Illegal," "Colonisation Imperialism," and "Guantanamo Republic," Toguo exposes the absurdities of such labels while also revealing the hypocrisy of western expansion in the world. New World Climax becomes a critique of monolithic, white imperialism and questions who anyone really is in today's globalized world.
Provenance: Purchased by donors from Stevenson Gallery, South Africa (2014). Stevenson Gallery acquired the work directly from the artist.

Donate Used Vehicle
One easy way to make a difference in your community is often overlooked. To donate a used vehicle is often times as important as when you donate your time to any one group, maybe even better. Your used vehicle will go to someone who needs reliable transportation and may not otherwise be able to afford it. Plus, there are many perks created by the government for people who donate a used vehicle.
The benefits of why you should donate a used vehicle:
" Keeps your yard clean
" Is an excellent way to help someone in need
" A great tax write off for the following year
" Know that you are making a difference in a person's life
No one likes to drive through a subdivision or even a country road and sees abandoned cars decorating the area. Homes that have one car sitting unused in the driveway is bad enough, but some people even collect two or more cars and leave them in the driveway or yard when they aren't needed. What a waste!
If you donate a used vehicle, it not only cleans up your yard and driveway, but it will make your neighbors happy as well. They don't have to look at your storage pile and wish it were gone (or even call the local authorities).
No matter how new or used your car is, when you donate a used vehicle that runs it will change someone else's life. Whether that person can't afford a car or needs one to have reliable transportation to get to a job so that they can in the future, you've made a difference. The car could get someone to school, provide a reliable way to get to a hospital or doctor appointment or even allow someone to keep a job they desperately needed.
The government recognizes people who donate a used car by giving tax incentives to do so. The lowest amount you can get is $500, no matter what condition the car is in. It does need to run, and different local charities may have other rules in order to receive your car, so check with them before you donate a used car.
You can also donate boats, trailers, SUVs, trucks, RVs or any type of vehicle with an engine if you are no longer using it and someone else might.
Instead of going the consumer route with your vehicle, like trying to sell it to a dealer or taking it to a junk yard and seeing what it is worth. Try the other route. Donate your used vehicle and feel great about doing it, because you know it will help someone else. Those couple hundred dollars immediately in your pocket wouldn't last long anyway, so having a few hundred more the following year at tax time will be even better.
To begin the process to donate a used vehicle, call or email Charity Dispatch. They will hook you up with a local charity that will receive your car quickly.

There is great interest in Facebook marketing thanks to social media's mainstream popularity. If you have this type of interest, then you should learn a few important things before you start down this path. Read the article below for some great tips.
Always respond to comments written about you or to you on Facebook. You will have to closely monitor your wall and watch for @ messages pertaining to you. It is especially important to reply if the comment needs customer service support or a complaint is brought to light.
Your Facebook page needs to be monitored for spam at all times. There are some filters that can be used when editing your page that help monitor the page, even if you are not around. Page administrators can add keywords into the tool that will help keep things filtered.
Promote a contest using Facebook Offers. You only need to post the offer and then change it to Promoted Post on your wall. If your offer is really good, you can consider opening it up to non-fans.
Treat your old customers well. There are people that just want likes and then they forget about existing fans. To maximize the impact of your Facebook marketing campaign, you have to maintain the respect of your audience. These customers can champion your brand if you engage them effectively.
Sometimes, you need to post stuff about your brand other places besides your own page. You can gain attention from others' Facebook pages. Ensure you only attract the good kind of attention you want. Only post on other pages whenever can positively contribute in some way. Do not engage in spamming of any sort.
Offer an exclusive product to people who "like" your page. New likes have the opportunity to draw a lot of attention to your page. Try offering something exclusive and free to people for "liking" your page. You could give it out to everyone or just have one winner. People find it easy to click if the offer is for an appealing item they would like.
Don't update just for the sake of putting words on your wall. Every post should sell your message or products. There needs to be some benefit for your followers in all of your posts. That might mean an interesting offer for a new product or useful information about your field. Don't go for the hard sell in your postings or your clients will not enjoy reading your posts, particularly when it appears too regularly in their feed.
Hiding content from non-fans is a great way to turn visitors into followers. Having hidden content will make it so those who are interested will have to become a fan. Try to hide just a small portion of the content on your page so you don't have trouble with SEO later on.
Create a group page for your business. This will group together all of your potential customers. You may inform you audience about deals and give them other relevant information. That can be a good way to get to know all the people who may purchase your products.
Make it where your fans can share on your page. If the content you provide really strikes a chord with your followers and visitors, they'll likely want to tell their friends about it. Facebook thrives on interacting and sharing with others. When you make an effort to give your audience valuable content, they will share that with their social networks and drive more customers to you.
Always establish a clear purpose for your Facebook page. Don't just have one to have one. Is it being used to speak with other people? Or do you have one so your customers are able to contact you? There is a difference between having a Facebook page for increasing sales and having one to keep customers around.
You should try posting professional photos on your Facebook page. These photos show others great shots of your business. If you want to take photos that are personal, you need to use a camera that's high in quality. Avoid posting something that makes people think negatively about your business.
Nurture the relationships that you have on Facebook. Just like when you're talking to people in person, you have to take your time to build up trust with people that you speak with online. One way to keep people interested in what you're offering is to give them good content at all times. Also, include many deals to reward your customers.
Try as hard as you can to respond to people when they leave comments on your page. This include comments in your inbox as well ones posted on your page. This extra work will pay benefits down the road.
Know what to avoid when it comes to marketing. There are good things that you should be doing, but there are many mistakes that people have made also. Learn from others' mistakes and successes. While best practices are normally easy to find, how many people take time to look for worst practices? You also need to learn what you should not do.
Don't be shy; tell your visitors to show and share your content. Give them a reason to by offering them something of value for sharing your updates with the people on their friend lists. You may also promise to give a coupon code to anyone who shares your updates to s set amount of subscribers.
Sharing events online can be hugely successful. One example would be to create buzz with your followers by sharing an event about a trade show you are attending. To make things even easier, Facebook will give them an event reminder for you.
Consider using Facebook Matchmaking to gain marketing exposure. Sometimes, you may be able to get two people to hook up through Facebook. Don't miss out on such chances to spread brand recognition. This allows the pair to develop a terrific story they can tell their relatives and friends, and your own brand will be a large part of it. This is an example of Facebook promotion excellence.
You can probably tell it's not hard to use Facebook to help get customers interested in your products and services. Still, you have to understand that your results won't be immediate. Exercise some patience but utilize this advice to your advantage.

|Ear Squeeze and DnS 1999 shirt
Posted by jp on September 28, 2008 at 16:48:30:
Hi CDS.
Ear Squeeze - since childhood, I've always had minor ear problems (according to my mother). I have to consciously equalize, and sometimes it takes a bit of work. Post dives, and on multi-day dive trips, I typically have swollen eustachian tubes and am constantly "swallowing" and jaw-jutting to try and clear this. I regularly use ear drops after each dive, but still have the issue. Any suggestions? I have used sudafed as a pre-dive medication with moderate success, but would appreciate suggestions.
Dive N Surf 1999 Shirt – I have a small project and need a picture of the DnS 1999 Lobster Mobster T-Shirt (front and back). Can you help? Just need a good clear shot of the logos on both sides.

My name is Omar.
Years ago I worked at a jewelry store. I worked jewelry yes, jewelry. How did I get the job? Well I was buying an engagement ring and the manager like me so he offered me a job. I never working for them for a couple of years.
All I can say is that retail is definitely demanding. It is tough mentally and physically. I think the reason for it is simply that you stand for so many hours. Moreover the scenery never really changes either. All you're doing is waiting all day for somebody to come in to the shop.
To me I enjoy the fact that I was trying to sell jewelry. I am sure that I wasn't that good at it. I think most people knew that I was genuine, but I wanted to make the sale so I probably was overly zealous at times.
Fast forward to today. I am still in sales but I realize that you're much better off fishing and hunting. Are used to try to hunt and kill. Now I just throw enough lines of the water and I wait for them to come to me. I think that's probably the difference between a young man and an old man.
What was the craziest thing that ever happened to me at the jewelry store? Well, I had this guy come in one day. He told me he was looking for an engagement ring for his girlfriend.
He gave me all of the information and how he wanted to surprise her and what not. The problem was is that he wanted to see several rings at the same time. We had a rule that you could only take out two and tops three items at one time. What you go beyond that it is simply too easy to forget what you have out on the table. This guy just kept talking and talking to me.
While he was doing so I believe you thought I was distracted any began to turn the ring… The biggest ring that I showed him by the way that was worth $7000… Towards the inside of his hand so that the rocket now faced his palm.
Slowly he closed his hand and begin to drop it. He asked if we had financing. My response was well it depends Mike. The guy told me his name is Mike.
He asked what does it depend on? I responded it's depends on if you give me The ring back or not.
He responded what ring. I said the one that you have in your other hand turn to your palm. He opened his hand and he gave it back to me and he said oh did you think. I just shook my head yes. He said thanks for showing me your rings and with that, he walked off.
At the time I didn't think much of it. It was surprising that people actually would have the gall to try to pull something like that off. But, as I've gotten older I realize that it is more common than not.
This blog is more about leadership in sales than anything else. Thanks for visiting.

Tagged: battery charger
My 5-volt, tablet-battery-powered, dual-LM386 boombox stereo FM/MP3 music system
LM386 is a mono amplifier IC. I couldn't find a stereo version of it that was just as robust and simple. So, I designed a circuit with two LM386 chips. That was several months ago.
In the meantime, my BlackBerry Playbook refused to charge. Because of disuse, the battery deep-discharged. There are many videos online offering all kinds of solutions but none worked for me. BlackBerry decided, in their infinite wisdom, to control the charging process using a novel logic, which absolutely refused to charge the battery if the voltage went below some limit. After dismantling the tablet beyond repair, I realized that I could have saved the tablet by opening the plastic cover & directly charge the terminals.
Well… I then had two good tablet batteries and a broken tablet. I decided use it for something. These were high-capacity batteries but like phone batteries output only 3.7 volts.
I got a phone battery charging circuit board that took 5 volts in. It has two LEDs – charging & fully charged. The board also has two load terminals from which you could draw 3.7 volts just like a phone would.
My MP3/FM module requires 5 volts so I added a voltage boost (step up) circuit board.
My attempts to repurpose USB cables from discarded devices failed because they burned off internally during soldering. Hence, I fashioned my own USB cable.
I made a wooden housing for the player. The speakers have neodymium magnets and sound super loud. This is interesting because the stereo LM386 amplifier circuit runs off the same 5 volts. The MP3 module has FM, SD card, line in & USB. It is the same kind as those cheap Chinese FM/MP3 amplifier sets found in autorickshaws.
How to recycle laptop batteries – create low-cost DIY USB power banks with 18650 charger cases
USB power banks are selling for very high prices. Most provide 2000 to 3000 maH of charge. Some give 5000 mAH but cost around 6,000 rupees! Buying these expensive power banks is stupid. I bought a 20,000 maH power bank for Rs. 1500 but the downside of that is that it take 2 whole days to charge. There is no point in going overboard like that either.
Instead, buy USB charger cases for 18650 type battery. Don't buy the 18650 batteries. Take them out from an old laptop battery. Laptop repair shops and IT waste recycling units may have stock. Take care when you remove the cells from the laptop battery. The solder on the cells are quite sharp and will tear your flesh easily.
Once, you have removed the cells and brushed off the excess metal and solder, they are good to use in one of these charger cases. They even have a LED that makes the power banks usable as torches!
Solar Panel-Powered Phone-Battery Power Bank with LM7805 USB Voltage Regulator
I wanted a phone battery power bank with a built-in solar panel. This would not have worked, as my house does not get direct sunlight. However, I have a 7v solar panel that came with a BPL emergency light. I put the solar panel on the terrace and brought its wire down to the balcony.
I could not simply connect solar panel to a power bank, as most power banks work at 5 volts. So, I built a voltage regulator module using a LM7805 IC. This dropped the voltage down from 7v to 5v. The circuit is simple. Connect the solar panel to a 2.0 mm DC power socket. Connect the two leads of the socket to the first two legs of the voltage regulator. The first leg is connected to the positive of the socket. The second and middle leg is the ground, which is shared with the output. The middle and third legs are connected to the ground and positive of the USB port.
I only had a dual-USB connector and used it anyway. This was not a bad choice. The extra surface area give its legs better anchorage. The power bank is supposedly 20,000 mAH. After I took it out of the package, I was able to charge a BlackBerry Book and one-thirds of a Micromax FunBook, both of which require 3 or 3.5 hours of charging. Now, it is charging. I have only a couple of hours of sunlight today.
UPDATE (22 December 2013): I added a 1n4007 diode to prevent current flowing in the other direction when the voltage coming in from the solar panel falls down drastically. The power bank may already have the diode but I am not sure. Whether this diode would be appropriate is also something I don't know. It is a diode and I used it. When I connect a 3.7v phone battery at the USB end, I can still measure 0.1v at the DC plug end to which the solar panel has been connected.

Richard Garriott Interview at GameSpy
Interview - posted by Mistress on Mon 10 February 2003, 14:48:55Tags: Origin Systems; Richard Garriott; Ultima VIII: Pagan
GameSpy have posted an interview with Richard Garriott a.k.a Lord British. He talks about leaving Origin, working with NCSoft, and what the hell happened with Ultima 8 and 9....
GameSpy: Sorry, but everyone wants to know -- what in the hell happened with Ultima 8 and 9?
Richard Garriott: Hah! I can easily explain. If you look at Ultima 8 -- and that's my least favorite of the series -- the causes are multiple, but understandable. Look at Origin's history with Electronic Arts ... we became part of that company halfway through the development of Ultima 7. That game was the most inventive game in the series, and my favorite, and Ultima 8 wound up being the most generic and derivative.
Ultima 7 was kind of the game's ultimate realization ... every object was useful and touchable, and the story made sense; it was the Ultima of Ultimas for me. One of the first mistakes I made starting with Ultima 8 was to let Electronic Arts convince me that it was better to ship every year on a predictable schedule then to ship a game at an unknown future date when it was actually done and ready to go out the door. It was a belief engendered by the success the company had with its sports franchises. Although these games introduced only slight technological upgrades from year to year, because everyone knew when they were coming out, it was easy for EA to market them and make big money.

How will your Farm Share vegetables be grown?
We use practices that have higher standards than "organic," in order to be healthy and sustainable for our bodies and for the earth. Unlike many organic farms, we won't use plastic mulch or commercial synthetic pesticides/fungicides, and we are aiming for zero tilling of the soil in the long-term in order to preserve the vibrant ecosystem that lives within the soil and supports healthy plant growth.
我們使用比"有機"更高標準的做法,以利我們的身體健康和地球的永續發展。 與大多數有機農場不同,我們不會使用塑料覆蓋物或商業合成殺蟲劑/殺菌劑,我們的目標是零翻土耕種,以保護生活在土壤中的生態系統,並支持健康的植物生長。
Why is this better than a grocery store?
When you can find Asian vegetables in a supermarket, the varieties you will find have been bred to be able to withstand being shipped from hundreds of miles away. They are often picked under-ripe so that they will not spoil by the time they reach their destination. Flavor is not a priority ☹… The Farm Share vegetables we provide will be grown locally and harvested for you, right before you pick them up each week. We can grow varieties that have been developed for their delicious flavor, and we can harvest them when they are perfectly ripe. You also don't need to wonder whether your vegetables were sprayed or if they are GMO varieties—they won't be! ☺
當你在超市裡找到亞洲蔬菜時,你會發現這些品種已經能承受從數百英里遠的地方運送了。 他們經常不成熟就被挑選,以便他們到達目的地時不會變壞。 風味不是重點 ☹..。 我們提供的農場份額蔬菜將在當地種植,並在您每週接獲之前為您收穫。 我們可以種植因其美味而開發的 品種,我們可以在完美成熟時收穫它們。 你也不需要懷疑你的蔬菜是否噴灑過,或者它們是否是轉基因品種 – 它們不會!☺

Cardgame Review : Pasaraya (2018)
The most important lesson of Pasaraya: Supermarket Manager is that running a supermarket is like solving a fiendishly complicated programming puzzle. I'm not saying that you can actually boil down every business factor into processes and formulas, but that's just the feeling I get after digging into this made-in-Malaysia cardgame, which has been in development for more than three years.
Seh Hui "Felix" Leong's deck-building cardgame may look simple, bright and breezy, thanks to the deceptively cute artwork by Macxell Lim and the graphic design by Krystine Chia (disclosure: Macxell is a friend of mine). But inside the carton-like packaging is a game with a tonne of potential complexity that should challenge the brains of even the most experienced game optimisers.
Do the Supermarket Shuffle!
Pasaraya is a game for 1-4 players (with a solitaire mode), ages 14 and up. The box says play time is 60 minutes but this is a serious underestimation, as first games may take up to 2 hours. The game comes in a solid little package with 346 game cards, 2 rulebooks and 4 reference mats. Pre-orders and early buyers also received bonus alternate-art cards (illustrated by Leong) and a 3D-printed token. You can see my unboxing video for details. Print quality is good – the pastel colours are bright and crisp, the cards are thick and robust.
If you've enjoyed deck-building games like Dominion, Trains or Marvel Legendary, you will understand the basic concept behind Pasaraya. There are cards representing money, employees (with special card-manipulating abilities) and inventory. Players shuffle a small deck of cards and draw a hand of cards each turn. You use money to buy more employees and inventory. You then use inventory and employees to score objective cards called Sales Forecasts, which give you more money (and other benefits). Every time your deck runs out, you reshuffle discarded cards into a new deck. The deck constantly changes over the course of the game. Potentially every turn, Sales Forecasts may be drawn and placed face-up on the table (a selection of 3-5 face-up forecast cards) for all players to try to fulfill.
Easy Come, Easy Go
What makes this deck-builder different from many others is how most cards leave the deck almost as fast as they enter it. In Dominion, for instance, your currency cards get used to buy new things when you draw them, then they get put in the discards and shuffled back into the deck later. Not in Pasaraya; money that is spent leaves your hands for good, and the same goes for inventory that you sell. The only things that stay in your deck the whole game are employees (with exceptions). And when you gain money, you put it in an area called your Bank, from which you can decide how much to transfer to your play deck. It gives you a huge amount of control over the size of your deck. This is something other deck-builders don't provide.
Everyone is trying to be the first to play the right combination of inventory items to fulfill Sales Forecasts. There are two kinds of Sales Forecasts, with the more valuable ones showing up in the lower half of the Sales Forecast deck. This means the stakes and the rewards get bigger, until someone draws the Fiscal Reporting card, marking the final round of scoring. Whoever has the most money wins, with inventory and employee cards counted for breaking ties.
Emergent Complexity in Aisle Nine
And yet, Pasaraya doesn't have that many types of cards. Even a classic deckbuilder like Dominion has 12 types of cards that all players can choose from to build their deck. Pasaraya, by comparison, has only 4 employee cards (each dual-use), 2 kinds of money that can go in your deck (and a large denomination card that can only go in the Bank) and 3 kinds of inventory.
Despite the seeming simplicity of the card selection, there's actually a lot going on at the table. Players have a lot of control over how much money to use; there are 8 different actions they can take with the 4 dual-use employees; and the Sale Forecast deck yields tricky effects and events, including changing inventory prices, logistics problems and employee absences. All this makes the game surprisingly deep, so that finding the right balance of cards is a constant struggle while everyone is aiming to complete the different Sales Forecasts.
I found that playing the game with just a couple of players was reasonably paced, and things weren't happening as fast at the beginning. A typical game will take up to 2 hours, at least until you learn the rules. But when I played at a 4-person table, more players were competing for the same selection of Sales Forecast cards. With more players, Sales Forecasts are replenished faster and the game progresses to the bigger rewards a bit sooner. This makes up for the longer wait between turns with 4 players.
EDM and AI
Looking for more challenges? You can also play the game using an alternate set of employee cards in Employee-Driven Mode. This variant restricts all buying, selling, hiring, and transferring of money and inventory cards – all of which could be done freely in the basic game. Now all game actions are associated with various employee cards. What this means in practice is that it becomes even easier for a player to get stuck for turn after turn, for want of drawing the right employee card. For me, this mode was less fun, and more of an advanced exercise in deck-building.
The other game variant is even more interesting. AI mode lets you add a deck of cards that acts as another player so that you can play a 1-player game, or add a challenging wild card factor to a multiplayer game. There are five difficulty levels (from "Competitor" to "Mafioso"), each with a correspondingly nastier AI card setup.
I only played at the second easiest level, and I lost badly, scoring 56 compared with the AI's whopping 100. The AI deck accumulates inventory, steals and forces players to discard cards at a distressing pace. And yet, this variant added more excitement and depth than it did frustration.
Getting walloped by the AI gave me a feeling that I hadn't had since the first time I played the original Pandemic board game in 2013 – and lost catastrophically. I had lost to a deck of dumb cards, and it felt like the cards weren't even playing fair. But after many play-throughs, I got the hang of managing risk and optimising my moves to cure all the diseases in Pandemic. And I suspect I'll get to the same place with Pasaraya's AI deck…eventually.
Home-grown Handiwork
Pasaraya was originally inspired by popular game reviewer Tom Vasel, who once wondered why nobody had ever made a supermarket-themed game. Leong cites Hisashi Hayashi (Trains), Martin Wallace (A Few Acres of Snow) and Carl Chudyk (Uchronia) as major influences on the design of Pasaraya.
Leong spent over two years developing and self-publishing Pasaraya through his company Boxfox Games. He had plenty of help from a team of local artists, writing and editing by Calvin Wong (local writer and actor, who played P.T. in the recent film Crazy Rich Asians), and playtesting and advice from the local tabletop gaming community. To promote the game, Leong demonstrated Pasaraya at Dice Tower Con in Orlando, Florida in July this year and even sent a demo copy to Gen-Con 2018 in Indianapolis in August, where it caught the attention of American reviewers.
Checkout Time
So what do I think of Pasaraya: Supermarket Manager? I quite appreciate the twist Pasaraya gives to the traditional deck-builder, by making you manage how you add and remove money and inventory to your deck every turn. Despite a relatively small card set, the interactions you get from building a business engine are surpisingly intricate. The extra game modes add even more value. The AI deck's brutal interruptions to the regular game create a high level of randomness and risk management to deal with, which will challenge even veteran gamers.
I recommend it to people who like economic games and deck-building games. I should point out, however, that the rulebooks and cards have a bit of ambiguity when it comes to situations like the Thief card and how the AI steals from other players – you'll want to check Pasaraya's Boardgamegeek page for the latest official errata and FAQ.
Distribution, at this moment, remains limited. You can directly buy a signed copy of Pasaraya from Boxfox Games Facebook site, for RM139 (Malaysian) or US$49 (International orders with free shipping). Gamers in Malaysia can get a better deal (about RM129) from local tabletop game stores that carry it. At the moment, Pasaraya can be found at Meeples, Boardgamecafe.net, Kohii.my and All Aboard Community Gaming Centre. So if you're interested, please do check them out.

Annullment of police recruitment challenged in HC

Informational Websites
Establish Your Online Presence
Informational websites, as a style, can serve a host of purposes—from personal use, to small businesses, to larger organizations—because the main focus on these sites is the content. If you have a desire to establish a basic online presence and share your unique content, an informational website is probably best for you.
What is an Informational Website?
An informational website might be the simplest of websites when it comes to functionality. These sites don't require complex functions, third-party integrations, or eCommerce capabilities and therefore the focus is on the content itself and telling your unique story. The overall goal of an informational website is to communicate the "who," "what," "how," and "why" of a business or organization with their online audience.
- Personal use websites
- Simple Brochure websites
- Small to Medium-sized business websites
What Does a Custom Informational Website Include?
All of the informational websites we build at ipsoCreative are custom designed and developed to give you a one-of-a-kind website presence. While we don't use off-the-shelf themes, our custom informational websites do include common elements and go through the same proven process to meet all of your requirements. Typical informational website builds include these basic elements:
- Custom homepage
- Custom set of page layouts or templates (bio pages, landing pages, about pages, etc.)
- Content pages with modular content sections
- Blog index and post pages
- Contact us page
What Does a Custom Informational Website Cost?
This is the million-dollar question and it's a good thing that informational websites don't cost a million dollars. But regardless of the style, custom websites require an extensive process that includes content planning, architecture, design, development, content loading, and QA. The overall cost of the site is determined by several factors, but namely, it comes down to these questions:
- What are your specific technical requirements?
- How will we handle content creation/migration?
- How many unique page layouts are needed?
- What is the desire timeline?
Once we discover answers these questions, we can provide you with a detailed statement of work (SOW) that outlines the objectives, deliverables, timeline, and costs.
Things to Keep in Mind When Considering a Custom Informational Website
With all the white noise on the web today, making your business stand out is becoming increasingly difficult. Simply making your website "look good" won't necessarily accomplish your goals. You need to have a comprehensive web strategy to go along with any new website. Here are some things to keep in mind if you are considering a custom informational website:
- Do I have a set of brand guidelines?
- Do I have a brand platform? I.e. Is my message clear?
- What are my goals and objectives?
- Who is my primary audience and how will I reach them?
- Have I looked at my current website analytics?
- How much content will need written for the new site?
- What do I want my website visitors to do/see/feel/know?
