Trends in Game Design
A game designer works to create previously unexplored levels of game entertainment. Great game designers stay one step ahead of gamers. They are already developing what the next best thing will be that will hit the gaming world.
Looking at the latest gaming trends can give gamers an idea of what developers are working on.
Here is an overview of the latest game trends:
Massive Multiplayer Worlds
One of the biggest game design trends is massive multiplayer worlds. There are many current game designs that utilize this type of system and many more in the works. These games are massive undertakings for game designers, and work on these games doesn't necessarily end once the games are released. There are always expansions, patches, mini games, and events within the game that can be added to enhance game play and keep interest level high. Not only do gamers develop an emotional connection to their characters - but the game developers develop an emotional connection to their never-ending games.
Indie Games
A recent trend is showing that gamers have a lot of devotion for independent games, or indie games. These are games manufactured by independent game makers rather than the big box labels. Some games can be downloaded to PCs and some consoles. Independent labels have put out impressive games at affordable prices.
Open World Designs
One of the more interesting and difficult trends in new games is known as the open world concept. What this means is that players are no longer bound by the limits of where the game allows them - but they can explore the landscape and interact with objects and characters on a new, more complex, level. This can be a challenge at times, incredibly mundane at times, and completely engrossing at other times.
Cell Phone Games
One last trend worth mentioning is the recent trend towards designing games for cell phones. Cell phone games are becoming a mad addiction for many cell phone users. The games are much smaller than traditional console or PC games, but they come at a much lower cost and require fewer extras to keep them interesting since the screens are so small. This opens the door for more careers and opportunities for the smaller gaming companies to make larger splashes and get their names known within the gaming community.

The TimesBorn in Switzerland, in 1980, resident in Brussels and trained in Glasgow, Nicolas Party is one of the new breed of younger artists completely at home in the internationalised world of contemporary art. In his earlier years Party was active as a graffiti artist but now specialises in creating art environments that use entire rooms and galleries. In the past he has transformed venues such as Glasgow's Modern Institute, and Inverleith House in Edinburgh, into colourful painted installations. He has worked in a similar way in venues from Stavanger to New York. Here, the artist has opted for a monochrome palette, using dense blacks, stark whites and nuanced greys to transform the large gallery space of the this former industrial workshop into a typical Party gesamkunstwerk. The imagery is a constructed, abstracted mindscape, which recalls elements of Surrealism in its dreamlike symbolism. Large sausage-shaped motifs float amongst black and white ribbons, and their shadows. Grey trees with withered limbs cast their twisted, dense black shadows, while bird-like motifs soar amidst these tangled imaginings. In some areas, Party has used charcoal to create grey textured half-tones on walls and partitions. The cast-iron Edwardian pillars that support the floors and ceilings have been transformed using a dense matt black paint that seems to suck all light from the surrounding space. Buried amongst this large-scale imagery is a series of pencil drawings depicting elements associated with traditional still-life, such as fruit and kitchenware. The imagery is not straightforward: a pear-like fruit is propped with a stick while another is twisted and distorted. A coffee pot is shown with an inverted spout. Perhaps it is not surprising that the legacy of Surrealism persists in Party's work, given that his domicile was also that of René Magritte, one of the most prominent members of the Surrealist movement. Party's technique of juxtaposing smaller, discrete imagery amongst large, all encompassing works is now well established. There is a relationship and what might be called a 'dialogue' between these elements. The monotones of the smaller works are reflected in the larger scheme, as are aspects of the imagery. In a new departure for Party, he has made a series of mezzotint prints, which he has developed with the printmakers at the Glasgow Print Studio. The technique of mezzotint was first developed in the mid-17th Century and allowed for the creation of a greater variety of tone, which, in turn, made it possible to depict shade and shadows with more subtlety and realism. Party's mezzotints, derived primarily from his drawings, again reflect his investigation of the borderland between the real and the imagined. They are in a sense self-reflexive in that they draw attention to their own artifice. All of this is the product of a fecund imagination and shows a gifted artist working at the height of his powers. * The exhibition is part of Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2016, which runs throughout the city until 25 April: glasgowinternational.org

The Need
There is a global need to diversify and increase the pipeline of talented, ethical and effective women and men working as public officials across countries and political organisations. Succession planning and leadership renewal are essential to stimulate new ideas and innovation at the frontiers of public policymaking.
In addition to the problem of widespread apathy amongst younger voters, perceptions of governments and the public sector as slow-moving, corrupt, and incompetent drive away talent and limit opportunities for socially-minded leaders to bring their values and expertise to bear on on the most stubborn policy challenges. Routes to election into public office for talented alternative candidates are also often opaque and rife with gatekeeping.
The Opportunity
We want to support the development of a diverse, strong network of public leaders to contribute to the development of open, creative and vitally democratic societies everywhere. By engaging and training people to participate in the public life of their countries, Apolitical Academy hopes to revive trust in politics and government and revitalise democracies everywhere.

By Hannah
The magic has always eluded me.
I can write; people tell me it is true. But I never wanted to write a book just to have something I could hold in my hands, point to on a bookstore or library shelf. I wanted to write a book that had magic. I think, after this year's Grub Street Muse and the Marketplace, I can do it.
I've been to the classes. I've read the books. I've written. All the while, I felt like my final product, even if considered for publication, would be okay. Just okay, in my estimation, at least. I was missing something, some synergy of everything I knew. For some reason, this past weekend, it all came together.
Margot Livesey, talking about character, was everything I'd anticipated and more. She was funny and wise in addressing descriptive details that bring characters to life. She spoke, for example, of making one of her antagonists a beekeeper, an occupation the reader perceives as interesting, having depth, thus creating a level of sympathy. My own antagonist was swinging from two-dimensional to too nice, and now I know what to do about it.
As she continued, she extended her insights into how to use detail to not just describe one person or place or event, but to structure an entire story more effectively. Another light started to dawn for me, as I realized I could redirect reader focus to my character's hands section by section across the manuscript, and the depth I could achieve in doing so. The change is more than a repetitive action, more than a familiar behavior for the character. The shift works -- aha! -- on multiple levels.
The importance of synergy between the smallest details and structure came up again in Martha Southgate's enthusiastic "Guardian Angels" presentation on masterful books from which we learn bits about craft, device, character, and courage in writing. Examples from Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay to Charles Baxter's Feast of Love reinforced the point as to why we consider books like those masterworks.
Which brings me to Philip Weinstein. He was humble before us, making clear that he had not written fiction, that he studies it, analyzes it, teaches it. As he made his opening remarks, I wondered whether I should have taken another craft class instead of his. I made the right choice; Weinstein brought everything I learned that day, and everything I have been learning as write, full circle.
In his talk on why fiction is important, Philip Weinstein said that fiction is magical in its manipulation of time. When a writer achieves a mastery of craft –in the details of how the pages come together -- a piece of fiction creates an alternate experience of time for the reader. We are transported, we lose track of reality, we venture outside ourselves. In short, the story's message, if any, and even characters and situations are secondary to the architecture of a story in creating fiction's magic.
I am perhaps minimizing what I understood before this weekend about the synergy required to create the magic. Still, I think I do understand fiction writing at a deeper, stronger level: to be honest, at a level that will satisfy my expectations. Draft two of my novel will prove or disprove this, but it will be long strides farther down the road than the baby steps I would have taken before. I feel like the real magic, at least a spark of it, is finally in me.

Meaningful Change in India
Although much of Bhramar Mukherjee's research centers around genetic-environmental interactions, a recent project takes a more sociocultural focus. "I have always struggled with finding true social relevance in my work in biostatistics," says the U-M SPH professor of biostatistics and epidemiology.
Mukherjee is especially aware of the maternal and child health burdens that face underserved populations in her native India, particularly in rural areas where access to physician care is extremely limited. The routine checkup that most Americans take for granted, she says, is virtually nonexistent in parts of India.
To address the problem, Mukherjee developed a study to test the feasibility of using community health workers to screen pregnant women and young children for risk factors and to direct those who need it to appropriate medical care. She received funding for the study from the Trehan Foundation and the MCubed Diamond Program, which pairs donors with U-M research projects, and launched the study in 2015.
To date it's been a success. Women are eager to participate and to get care they may not otherwise have been comfortable seeking. This kind of empowerment, Mukherjee says, is a key goal of the project. But she and her team have found that the community health workers, too, are newly empowered. Although these women were recruited to serve as cultural liaisons, the health workers now say they have a larger purpose within their home communities, and they regard the help they're providing as important. Mukherjee and her team hope to continue forging a road into meaningful change in India through this practical and biostatistical approach.

Best Methods: StatCore
Launched in 2015, and led by SPH Professors Yi Li and Bhramar Mukherjee, a new SPH initiative called Global StatCore aims to provide biostatistics education and support to institutions across the globe, especially those lacking the depth of statistical knowledge necessary to reach their full potential in public health research.
Even countries traditionally strong in math and science may be deficient in biostatistical expertise, say Li and Mukherjee. StatCore is designed to address such deficiencies by providing teaching modules recorded on DVD and supplemented by on-site instruction by from SPH faculty. The hope is that StatCore will act as a catalyst, building intellectual resources and training researchers who will in turn train others. By teaching people "not to settle" but rather to "seek the best method out there," Mukherjee says, "global health research can truly benefit." Funding to launch the program came from the SPH Dean's Office, but eventually StatCore will charge for services after providing an initial free consultation.

For our second look at in-house free agents, lets take a look at one of the more scrutinized players this past season: free safety Kendrick Lewis.
Player: Kendrick Lewis
Position: Free Safety
Status: Unrestricted free agent
Situation: Lewis just completed his rookie deal. He was drafted in the fifth round in 2010.
Lewis was drafted in the fifth round in 2010 in order to provide some depth and youth to an aging secondary. He's been the starter at free safety for the better part of his four seasons in Kansas City, starting in at least nine games every season he's been in the league. With that being said, Lewis unquestionably had his worst season as a professional in 2013. He was consistently out of position, struggled to make tackles and didn't have the speed to keep up with receivers streaking down the field (i.e. T.Y. Hilton). The Chiefs' pass rush early in the season helped mask some of Lewis' inability, but once teams figured him out, well, you know the rest.
The frustrating thing about Lewis is he actually played pretty well his first two seasons in the league. Perhaps his best season came in 2011, when he picked off three passes and picked up much of the slack left by the injured Eric Berry. Lewis would later deal with shoulder problems, however, and doesn't seem to be the same.
Bob Sutton's defense is designed much like Seattle's touted defense in that it relies on man-coverage by the corners and leaves a single safety deep. Part of the reason Seattle has had so much success with this is the play of Earl Thomas, perhaps the best free safety in football. Kansas City needs their version of Earl Thomas, and Lewis is certainly not that guy.
Lewis came fairly cheap last season, earning 1.323 million. He'll probably fetch a raise on the open market considering his success in the years before his injury and he could probably thrive in a system that requires less of him. Lewis will also be seen as an excellent reserve by teams thin on depth. I highly doubt the Chiefs will resign him, however, as an upgrade at the position is badly needed and was highlighted in the playoff game.
Rookie Sanders Commings, who was injured for nearly all of 2013, will probably get a look at free safety and I'm fairly confident Dorsey and company will draft or sign somebody to provide depth or possibly even start, as well. Some options outside of the current roster include free agents Jairus Byrd and T.J. Ward but both, especially Byrd, will demand a sizeable contract. Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix could be an option in the first round but most pundits seem to think he'll be selected before the Chiefs are on the clock. The only real certainty is Lewis will probably be resuming his career elsewhere next season.

Infidels: A History of the Conflict Between Christendom and Islam
Here's the 1st panoptic heritage of the lengthy fight among the Christian West and Islam.
In this dazzlingly written, acutely nuanced account, Andrew Wheatcroft tracks a deep fault line of animosity among civilizations. He starts with a gorgeous account of the conflict of Lepanto in 1571, then turns to the most zones of clash: Spain, from which the descendants of the Moors have been ultimately expelled; the center East, the place Crusaders and Muslims clashed for years; and the Balkans, the place far-off thoughts spurred atrocities even into the 20th century. all through, Wheatcroft delves underneath stereotypes, taking a look incisively at how photos, rules, language, and know-how (from the printing press to the Internet), in addition to politics, faith, and conquest, have allowed either side to demonize the opposite, revive previous grievances, and gasoline throughout centuries a doubtless unquenchable enmity. ultimately, Wheatcroft tells how this fraught historical past resulted in our current maelstrom. we won't, he argues, come to phrases with today's confusing animosities with no confronting this darkish prior.

Though the western Mongolian Oyrat attempted to unite the Mongols under their leadership against the Manchu, the Khalkha joined the Manchu in a savage campaign that resulted in the conquest of Outer Mongolia in 1759 and in the near extermination of the Oyrat.
This dictionary mainly represents a southern language type. One difficulty is that the language in a given area represents a mixture of at least two layers: an older one of the original local type, antedating the language of the Qieyun, and a younger one that is descended from the Qieyun language or a slightly younger but closely related tongue—the socalled Tang koine, the standard spoken language of the Tang dynasty. The relationship of the protolanguages is further complicated by the different substrata of non-Chinese stock that underlie many if not most of the major languages.

Here's the thing: IPOs are largely meaningless. And this IPO is particularly overblown.
An IPO is just a blip in the lifeline of a company -- some take off, some tank. They don't necessarily augur the company's long-term prospects. We all remember the great disastrous Facebook IPO of May 2012, which was plagued by technical glitches and weeks of disappointing, even negative, returns. Eighteen months later, the stock is up to over $48 a share, Facebook just reported solid Q3 earnings, and investors who held their shares through the bumpy post-IPO days made a profit. In the long run, that insanely hyped IPO was little more than a punchline for mediocre investing jokes.
The opposite can often be true, as well: Groupon was offered at $20 a share, opened at $28 … and is now below $10. Many of the big Internet stocks of the past three years have suffered a similar fate -- Demand Media and RenRen, the Chinese Facebook, among them.
Busts like Groupon have led some analysts to speculate about a "tech bubble," a market rise that's based more on hype than actual value. It's fair to say that specter hangs over Twitter, too. The social network has not turned a profit once in its seven-year history, but it's still valued at a whopping $31 billion. The network has yet to prove it has any place in the cultural mainstream -- keep in mind, only 15 percent of people who use the Internet also use Twitter -- and it's unclear how it would monetize those users if it did. The $31 billion valuation is based merely on the hope, and the speculation, that Twitter will succeed.
That seems like the real reason people are so worked up over the Twitter IPO, whether or not they have any interest in investing themselves: It represents some sort of technophilic optimism about what social networks mean, or will mean, in our culture and economy. That, along with the fact that a crew of visionary nerds will get very, very rich off today's offering, make the IPO a nice capitalist proxy for the American Dream.
But as nice as that all sounds, it's important to realize that this IPO is pretty much meaningless in terms of predicting Twitter's long-term success. And it's particularly meaningless for you -- yes you, insignificant individual investor -- because you can't even buy stock in the initial offering. That privilege is reserved for Wall Street bigwigs and mutual funds, the only ones, besides Twitter's employees and early investors, who really have a stake in the whole thing.
Please remind me why we're still talking about this?

"The frogs always beat the toads at long jump but the toads don't mind - anything for a quiet life. But then the children - and Mutt the dog - come in search of some good jumpers, and the toads see an opportunity to get their own back. Soon the poor frogs have been gathered up and put in an ice-cream tub, and they're hopping mad!"
The Great Telephone Mix-Up, by Sally Nicholls & Sheena Dempsey
"When the village wires get crossed after a storm, there's a lot of confusion and plenty of missed connections. Margaret can't run her summer fair, Jai can't speak to Aditi, and Will is rather happy because no one can tell his mum how much trouble he's in! Can the villagers learn to love their neighbours and could the great telephone mix-up really be a blessing in disguise?"
Rose's Dress of Dreams, by Katherine Woodfine & Kate Pankhurst
"Young Rose dreams of sewing beautiful dresses for the women of Paris. But when a chance encounter with royalty changes her life, Rose must draw on all her skills to create the most breathtaking dress of them all.
"Based on the life of Rose Bertin, the woman credited with creating haute-couture, this is a story to inspire bold girls and boys everywhere."
Shona, Word Detective, by John Agard & Michael Broad
"Shona has always loved words. She even has her very own strange word thesaurus! When her and her classmates learn that some languages are dying out, Miss Bates tasks them with becoming top-class word detectives, proving to themselves and their families that there are many beautiful languages still thriving, even within their own classroom."
The Knights and the Best Quest, by Kaye Umansky
"What's the point of a daring quest without a little competition? The Knights of the Drop-Leaf Table don't think there is one, so it's time to draw up the rules, find a suitable prize, hit the road on their less-than-trusty steeds and prove who's best! Can they return laden with magic amulets, damsels in distress and dragon's heads? Or is the draw of one of Mrs Spunge's delectable sandwiches far too tempting…"
Noah Scape Can't Stop Repeating Himself, by Guy Bass & Steve May
"Noah Scape loves dinosaurs and spaghetti with tomato sauce. But Noah doesn't always get what he wants and when school doesn't revolve around dinosaur facts and lunch isn't always his tried and tested favourite, well - enough is enough! It's time for him to stop wishing and to decide on exactly what he needs; a world full of Noahs!"
Free Lance and the Dragon's Hoard, by Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell
"It's a routine job for a freelance knight: a wealthy merchant needs protection on the journey back to his remote home town. But on the last night he is woken by the terrified merchant insisting that a dragon has killed his favourite horse. Free Lance finds the remains of the horse and decides wolves are responsible - but are they?"
The Family Tree, by Mal Peet & Emma Shoard
"When a man returns to his childhood home and visits the derelict tree house in which his father once chose to live, he recalls the past unravelling of his family, the unspoken strangeness of their lives, and the impact on his own adult life."

Q I looked into converting my home to solar-powered but, even with the rebates in place, it would not be cost-effective to do so, as it would take more than 30 years to recoup the initial investment (around $20,000 after rebates).
As you know, citizens will not go "green" unless there is an incentive to do so, especially a monetary one where one can not only save money but get money back from FPL if they are generating more electricity than they use. I would love to place solar panels on my new double-wide mobile home in Hollywood Estates . . . and be totally self-sufficient, but cannot do so until, after rebates, it becomes financially feasible to do so. Does this make sense?
If you ever set up a program whereby the state installs panels, free of charge, please sign me up, as I will be the first to do so and go GREEN.
Teddy Seachord, Hollywood
A. I appreciate the questioner's attitude. It's exactly what we're trying to promote. The notion that we might be able to provide more incentives, more revenue to encourage more people to get solar panels, I applaud, I support. Again, it's a lean budget year, so that's difficult to do this year.
I'm hopeful that we'll be able to do more to encourage going green . . . because it's good for us economically, it's good for us environmentally. It's good for our tourist industry and business climate. Florida is becoming a recognized leader in this area. If any state in America ought to lead with solar energy, it ought to be the Sunshine State. That's why I'm pleased FPL has already announced it will build the largest solar energy plant in America in South Florida, a $2.4 billion investment. Things are changing.

What the local press are saying about us…
A chartered surveyor company took an eye-catching route when it advertised vacancies in a recruitment drive to help it grow with the upturn in the property sector. Louis Taylor put up a big banner on the corner of its head office off Forge Lane, Etruria, advertising the posts, and it has now taken on more new staff than it initially planned.
Patrick Doherty, director, said: "We have seen steady, solid growth in the property market around here for a while now and across all our activities. "The residential sector has been picking up for 12 months and now the commercial has started to do so too this year.
"We are chartered surveyors and estate agents and fundamentally what we sell is advice, so we needed quality people to help us take the business forward in this improving climate and that is what we have got.
"We put in place a number of initiatives to try to attract the right candidates, one of which was to put three large banners advertising the jobs on the front of our office building, using its prominent position to our advantage; we just tried to give the ball a big kick and it has worked."
Although initially three posts were advertised, the company has taken on more, Tim Jones and Paul James, who between them have decades of experience in the trade, have joined the residential survey and valuation department to strengthen the team handling mortgage valuations for lenders and Homebuyer Surveys for purchasers.
Ian Cotterill joins as a specialist commercial property management surveyor, and Annette Holland has been employed as a consultant surveyor with the commercial valuations team, which provides expert information to banks, developers and companies across the Midlands, and Katie Hicklin joins the Newcastle office as a front of house administrator.
Patrick added: "The banners were a simple idea, but they certainly helped us find the talented people we needed to give the firm a boost as we move out of the recession and hopefully into steady growth"

Jayme Closs's harrowing story of survival has captured the attention of the entire nation. The 13-year-old Wisconsin teen went missing almost three months ago on October 15,2018, after a cryptic phone call to 911 triggered a call from police to the Closs home where officers made a grisly discovery. Jayme's parents, James and Denise Closs, were found shot dead and their 13-year-old daughter was nowhere to be found. The slaying of her parents and evidence of a home invasion qualified the missing teenager for an Amber Alert by authorities, and search efforts immediately began for Jayme as investigators began to… Read More

text: Buying used There are steps you can take to help you avoid buying a car that's been badly damaged, stolen or illegally altered. They'll also simply help you get a car that doesn't break down. Doing the proper checks can help save you distress and money down the line. It's worth knowing that you'll still have legal rights even if you don't do the proper checks. If there's something wrong with your used car (eg it's got a false mileage reading or it keeps breaking down), you may have a legal right to a repair, the cost of a repair, or some or all of your money back.

For eligibility requirements and information on how to apply for these scholarships, application forms are available at the office or can be downloaded below.
Applications must be submitted by June 1st of each year. Pending review and verification of all applications, the scholarship recipients will be selected and the monies will be awarded directly to the recipients.
The Russell Tidball Memorial Scholarship was initiated in 1998 in honour of Russell Tidball who triumphed over many physical challenges to meet his two main goals - to attend high school and play hockey. Russell's courage, perseverance and tenacity during his life to achieve his goals are inspirational, not only to scholarship candidates, but to everyone in BLOMHA.
Russell was born in 1981 with a heart defect that required numerous surgeries in the following years. Having always wanted to play hockey, finally at nine years of age Russell was able to start in BLOMHA House League as a goalie.
In 1994 Russell underwent heart surgery and sustained brain damage that required a year in rehabilitation facilities. It was during his recovery that Russell set his sights on his two main goals, to attend high school and to play hockey again.
As testament to having achieved his goals, Russell was given the Neale Pyefinch Award in 1996 for the most improved player in the Bantam division, and in 1997 he received the student award for achieving the highest marks in Grade 10 English. Sadly on December 29, 1997, Russell succumbed to a fatal heart attack. It is with great respect and admiration for a short life lived so courageously that this scholarship is awarded to individuals who share Russell's two passions - education and hockey.
The BLOMHA Volunteer Scholarship is available to the child of an active BLOMHA volunteer. Candidates must be enrolled or in the process of enrolling in a post-secondary institution.

Student Develops Games For Windows Phone 7
Jakub Poznanski, Jake to most people, is studying computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. He was born in Białystok, Poland, but has lived most of his life in the United States. Jake was an intern at Microsoft last summer, working on Windows Phone 7.Lately Jake has been creating games for the Windows Phone 7 devices. Along the way he has racked up an impressive set of milestones. From Jake:
- We've recently published our sixth WP7 game! (Word Search, Solitaire, Free Cell, Hearts, Ice Ball, Word Chief)
- Our Solitaire game is now in the top 10 free games on the US marketplace, and our other apps are also reaching high rankings.
- We see close to 4k downloads per day and 200k ad impressions a day, making us a top developer on Microsoft PubCenter.
- We are going to be part of a case study done by the Microsoft PubCenter team showing how successful the platform can be for developers
- Our apps are recommended consistently by high profile sources such as the official Windows Phone Blog (http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2011/01/14/pinworthy-uncovering-the-best-of-marketplace.aspx#comments)
- Ice Ball is reviewed at http://wp7lab.com/reviews/ice-ball-review/
This is a pretty impressive set of accomplishments for someone still in university – although admittedly Carnegie Mellon University is known for turning out some pretty accomplished students and interning at Microsoft couldn't hurt. (BTW check out this video interview with a younger student Teenager Makes Money Writing Windows Phone 7 Apps with AdCenter who learned how to create Windows Phone apps on his own. Resources are listed at that link as well.)
Windows Phone 7 Development tools are free for students through the DreamSpark program as are submissions to the app store. It's a pretty good way for students to not only learn and have fun but built an impressive portfolio that they can show potential employers.
Jake's current list of games available in the Windows Phone App Store is below and you can read more about them on his web site at http://jakepoz.com/index.html under software. He also has some tutorials there as well.

What Is Dalal Street?
Dalal Street is an area in downtown Mumbai, India, that houses the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) – the largest stock exchange in India – and other reputable financial institutions. It received the name Dalal Street after the Bombay Stock Exchange moved to the area in 1874 and became the first stock exchange recognized by the Indian Government.
The literal translation of Dalal in Marathi is a broker or intermediary. Today, Dalal Street is a metonym for the entire Indian financial sector much like Wall Street in the United States.
Dalal Street Explained
Dalal Street is used by Indian investors in the same way as Wall Street is referenced in the United States. It's the location of a major stock exchange where large amounts of money flow through each day. On days the Indian market closes lower for the day the media will cite turmoil on Dalal Street.
The Bombay Stock Exchange is the best known and most important exchange located on Dalal Street. It is one of the first exchanges in Asia to address latency in the era of electronic trading. In the 141 years of existence, BSE has facilitated the growth of the corporate sector by creating an efficient marketplace to raise capital. Other products and services available to market participants include risk management, clearing and settlement procedures, market data services and investor education.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's most popular equity index – the S&P BSE Sensex – is a widely recognized benchmark in India and around the world. It tracks the performance of the 30 largest stocks in 12 different sectors on the exchange. Investors can gain exposure to the Sensex through the EUREX as well as leading exchanges in Brazil, Russia, China, and South Africa. Other assets listed on the BSE include stocks, futures, and options.
Dalal Street and Other Major Stock Exchanges
Dalal Street is a central location for most financial activity in India. The equivalent of this in the United States is Wall Street, where the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Federal Reserve, and every major bank is located. For London, Canary Wharf sits at the center of banking and finance. The financial district is home to the London Stock Exchange and headquarters of major international banks like Barclays and HSBC.
Most financial activity in Japan funnels through the Nihonbashi district. Here you can find the Bank of Japan, Tokyo Stock Exchange, major financial institutions and popular shopping centers. Other areas with financial districts like Dalal Street include Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, and Zurich.

Anytime you change Oracle's or files, does the system require a reboot?
In my instance, I only have the Oracle client installed on the machine I'm referring to, but out of curiosity what would it mean for an Oracle server installation?

Netflix drops House of Cards season 6 trailer as it picks its first Oscar
Netflix has released the first trailer for the sixth and final season of the political drama House of Cards. Dropped during the 90th Academy Awards ceremony, the trailer teases the presidency of Claire Underwood (played by Robin Wright). In related news, the streaming service also nabbed its first Oscar earlier today, when Icarus became the 2018 winner for the Best Documentary (Feature). Icarus is distributed by Netflix.
House of Cards Season 6 trailer
The trailer doesn't show much and is mostly focussed on Robin Wright. It starts with the scenes of people working around the White House and then reaches the Oval Office. We see Claire Underwood get up from president's chair and break the fourth wall. She remarks "we're just getting started." The trailer closes with the message "Hail to the Chief."
Although the fifth season of the show ended with Claire Underwood getting the presidency, the firing of Kevin Spacey (Frank Underwood in the show), after the allegations of sexual harassment, seems to have shaped the last season. Since the show won't have Frank Underwood, we can expect to see a completely different story than what the creators may have originally planned.
Netflix is yet to reveal the season 6 première date, but it is set to début this fall.

Today's Reading: Mark 7:31-37
Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 5:9-27; Philippians 1:1-20
And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. (Mark 7:33)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Gross! Spitting. Touching tongues. Putting your fingers in somebody else's ears! It doesn't sound very pleasant. But Jesus doesn't do squeamish. He takes this deaf man aside, spits, touches his tongue and sticks his fingers in His ears. What's going on? What saves this man? He's got the Word of God—literally, Jesus—in his ears and on his tongue!
His problem is our problem. Even if we can hear, we are deaf to God's Word. Even if we can talk, we use our mouths to curse instead of bless, to say worthless things instead of speaking God's Word. So how is this man saved? How are we saved? By the Word of God going into our ears and the Word of God going onto our tongues.
Jesus isn't squeamish about coming amongst us sinners. In the beginning, the Lord Himself came down and made man out of mud. In the fullness of time, He sent His Son, who was not afraid to actually take on a human nature, become a man, be born, suffer, die, and rise for your sins. Jesus gets in the mud pit with us sinners to be like us, to carry our sins, and to suffer and die for them.
Now He does the same thing to you to rescue you from spiritual blindness and dumbness. He puts the Word in your ears in the preaching and teaching of the Gospel and puts the Word on your tongue, His own true Body and Blood, given for you to eat and drink. And not with spit now, but with baptismal water, the Lord gives you Himself and rescues you from sin and death.
We suffer the very same problem as this poor man: We are deaf and dumb, unable to hear God's Word and speak and sing His praises. But the Lord has opened your ears and loosed your tongue by His saving gifts so that now you can rejoice to hear Christ and confess Him, to hear the Good News that your sins are forgiven and to praise Him with your tongue. He has done all things well for you! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Almighty and merciful God, whose gift it is that Your faithful possess all things pertaining to faith and life, we implore You that we may so faithfully cling to Your promises in this life that we fail not finally to attain to Your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Collect for Trinity 12)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.2 Abbas finds reward for probing away outside off. After leaving such balls in the channel, Raval has a nibble at it and nicks it behind to Sarfraz. Nice and full, starts outside off, and straightens away against the angle from round the wicket, grazes the edge. The keeper does not the rest and Abbas wheels away in celebration 20/113382034.2114.4 What have you done, Latham, after putting in all the hard work to blunt the new ball? He hangs his head in despair. Floated up on off and breaks back in on middle, Latham simply chips it into the lap of Hafeez at short midwicket. So, Yasir strikes with his fourth ball 35/2631125056.2549.1 caught behind down leg! Eish! He's played out the unplayables and falls to the unthinkable! A silly short ball, no threat in it, going harmlessly down leg. Williamson is in good form so he goes for the pull shot, trying to roll his wrists to keep the ball down, but Hasan manages to get just enough bounce to tickle the gloves and go through to the keeper. Superb innings. Flat ending. 123/520.5 Yasir lobs a delicious legbreak outside off. Full and spins away, catches Taylor in the crease. He dangles his bat out, plays away from the body, and edges it to the keeper 39/344.1 taken by the keeper! And that's why he's the boss. He won't be putting this wicket up on the mantle - a nonchalant half-volley outside off securing the outside edge as Nicholls goes for a big ole drive - but he'll take it and so will his team. Pakistan can now put pressure on the new man in. They can take control bowling on a batting pitch 111/410351028.5754.1 traps him in front. Turn. So much turn. Such wonderful, wild turn and Watling has gone for a review. He's the last batsman standing so he has to. But what hope does he have when the ball is this good. Haris angles it in from wide of the crease. It pitches on leg stump and breaks away in startling fashion, beating the leading edge as Watling tries to flick and hitting him on the back pad. Ball-tracking shows three reds and umpire Oxenford's call stands 133/801000.0049.2 lbw first ball!! Too good from Hasan. It's a new batsman. He won't know much about the pitch. Can't know anything about the reverse swing on offer. So what does Hasan do? He targets the stumps. Supremely good fast bowling. And at the other end is a flat-footed block. The bat is too slow to come down. Certainly when compared to this fuller delivery that crashes into his front pad below the knee roll. Poor de Grandhomme. He had no chance. 123/6460066.6650.6 appeal for lbw and it's given. But Sodhi has reviewed the call. This will be tight. It's a very well flighted delivery, always angling into the right-hander, so much that Sodhi is nearly late on it. And is nearly yorked as well. Replays indicate it might have hit bat first before pad, but we need UltraEdge to confirm. And it does indeed break the deadlock, by inches. The ball grazes Sodhi's boot half a second before it goes up to hit his bat. 'I'm happy that that's pad first,' says the third umpire Reiffel. Three reds on ball-tracking and Bruce Oxenford's on-field call stands 128/712330036.3665.1 taken at slip. This is beautiful offspin bowling. He lobs the ball up, just so the left-hander will come forward. That mean's he's been set up for the dip and the turn. And both of them combine to take the outside edge and settle in the hands of Shafiq. 149/96430013.9566.3 Yasir wraps up NZ for 153 Patel misjudges it. He pads up to a straighter one and is pinned in front. Patel was expecting it to break down the leg side. But this is the slider that traps him 153/10not out451080.00Extras4 (lb 4)TOTAL153 all out (66.3 Overs, RR: 2.3)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Jeet Raval, 10.2 ov), 2-35 (Tom Latham, 14.4 ov), 3-39 (Ross Taylor, 20.5 ov), 4-111 (Henry Nicholls, 44.1 ov), 5-123 (Kane Williamson, 49.1 ov), 6-123 (Colin de Grandhomme, 49.2 ov), 7-128 (Ish Sodhi, 50.6 ov), 8-133 (BJ Watling, 54.1 ov), 9-149 (Neil Wagner, 65.1 ov), 10-153 (Ajaz Patel, 66.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6170035.297.3 full and wide outside off - possibly wider than a set of stumps outside off - Imam chases it away from the body and nicks it off to Kane Williamson at gully. Loose, loose drive. The ball flies to Williamson. Nice, chest-high grab. That should've been left alone by Imam 27/120314064.518.3 Hafeez has tamely pulled a short ball straight into the hands of Williamson at short midwicket. Dug in short and outside off, Hafeez pulls from underneath and splices a catch to the NZ captain. Two in two overs for NZ 27/222951023.1537.1 Boult is in the middle of a brilliant spell, and this is an equally brilliant catch from Watling diving to his right and grabbing it low - one-handed - in front of first slip. Fuller than a good length and nipping away outside off, instead of letting it go Azhar pushes away from the body and snicks it behind to the keeper. Both overnight batsmen gone 91/438764050.0036.2 Soft as wax. Haris has spooned a full-toss to short midwicket. Dips on middle, Haris inches forward and chips a catch straight to Tom Latham, who incidentally was dismissed in similar fashion on day one 91/343935146.2363.4 Boult is making things happen in Abu Dhabi! Good length and seams back so very late, catches the batsman in the crease. He fiddles with it, aims third man, but only chops it back on. The off stump is knocked out. Boult lets out a roar and flashes a million-dollar smile. He's been sensational today 174/5621095056.8883.2 Watling thinks he has his man, and Babar himself walks off. He's been strangled down the leg side. Good length and veering down the leg side, Babar doesn't get enough bat on the glance and feathers it behind to Watling, diving away to his left and plucking another one-hander. He clings onto the ball even as he tumbles on the ground. 227/10240050.0064.3 Maiden Test wicket for Patel! Safraz ventures a sweep and picks out square leg. Tossed up on middle, does not turn much but bounces to find the top edge. Wagner, the workhorse, dives forward to snaffle it. Just like that two in two overs for NZ 177/611241045.8370.1 flighted outside off, goes for a big one and misses, Watling removes the bails, they are checking upstairs. The heal was still in the air when the bails came off and after a couple of replays third umpire Paul Reiffel asks to load out 195/79382023.6879.3 edged and taken. 150th Test wicket for Wagner. Was a length ball angled across, Yasir aims for a big hoick, gets an outside edge Watling completes a regulation catch 220/84101040.0082.2 De Grandhomme strikes with the second new ball. Near yorker, angling in, and swings away just a shade outside off. Hasan Ali jabs his bat down and ends up nicking it off to Taylor at first slip 227/9not out04000.00Extras10 (b 4, lb 4, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL227 all out (83.2 Overs, RR: 2.72)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Imam-ul-Haq, 7.3 ov), 2-27 (Mohammad Hafeez, 8.3 ov), 3-91 (Haris Sohail, 36.2 ov), 4-91 (Azhar Ali, 37.1 ov), 5-174 (Asad Shafiq, 63.4 ov), 6-177 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 64.3 ov), 7-195 (Bilal Asif, 70.1 ov), 8-220 (Yasir Shah, 79.3 ov), 9-227 (Hasan Ali, 82.2 ov), 10-227 (Babar Azam, 83.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR461205038.3338.5 Hasan Ali has turned this game on its head in a matter of five deliveries. Raval departs as he nicks one to Sarfraz. Was pitched on a length, Raval pushes at it and gets an outside edge. Didn't move a big deal away after pitching though but good enough to get the set batsman out 108/401000.001.1 and he nails the off stump and explodes in celebration. Full from round the wicket, angling in, swinging in to send the off stump cartwheeling. Latham misjudges it and plays down the wrong line. He departs for a golden duck. What a start for Hasan 0/137913040.6533.4 Yasir produces the breakthrough for the Pakistan. The off bail is tipped off. Good length, drifts in towards off, turns away just enough to beat Kane's outside edge on the back foot. Clips the top of off and knocks over the bail. Much-needed wicket for Pakistan. Delightful loop and turn from Yasir 86/2191930100.0038.1 Hasan Ali strikes! Reverse swing doing the trick there. Pitches on a length outside off and nips back in sharply to strike Taylor in front, who has been beaten for both pace and swing. Would have gone on to crash into middle and leg 105/3551713032.1689.4 Yasir breaks the century stand. Yasir lobs it up on the rough outside off, it grips, turns. Nicholls still dares to sweep and winds up snicking it off to Sarfraz, the keeper. Umpire Oxenford raises his finger, Nicholls challenges his on-field out decision, but Ultra Edge detects a spike - off the bottom edge and a top catch from Sarfraz behind the stumps 220/5591455040.6893.2 Watling aims to pull one that isn't short enough and is trapped in front. Skids in from over the wicket, he goes back and misses the shot, pings the back leg in front of off. Yasir has turned the match around for Pakistan. Three in three overs for the legspinner and that's drinks 227/7380037.5091.5 One brings two: Yasir now has de Grandhomme lbw. The batsman has called for a review. Only he knows why. Watson-esque review. A fizzing slider hits the back pad, as de Grandhomme plays back, that's pretty plumb and the tracker returns three reds 224/618271166.66100.2 bowled 'im! Sodhi was stuck in the crease, the ball nipped back in off the surface and hit the top of middle, fourth wicket for Hasan Ali 249/904000.0093.6 five-wicket haul for Yasir. Bowls him through the gate. Pitching outside off, in the rough and spinning back in sharply to rattle the off stump 227/8not out6170035.29100.4 That's maiden fifer for Hasan Ali. Was a short delivery, aimed at the batsman.

Would have crashed into middle and leg 40/110441022.7213.1 gone! It's game on! Tossed up outside off and Hafeez was early into the shot, chips it to de Grandhomme at covers, a soft dismissal this one 44/2651365047.7958.4 given lbw. Pakistan review. Bowled from around the wicket, was slower in the air, Azhar Ali pushes forward but it spins past him, hits him high on the thigh. Did it pitch outside leg, was it too high? All sorts of things to be checked. Pitched in line, spins back to hit in line and stumps? Whoa!!! Umpire's call on the stumps as replay shows it would have hit the off bail. In the end, it's Azhar Ali who loses his wicket. Absolute scenes here. Azhar Ali is distraught, hugs and handshakes in the New Zealand camp. Had it been given not out, it would have remained not out, what luck! 171/104310133.3313.4 Sodhi strikes again. Was a low full toss and Haris has hit it straight towards the bowler, a good catch there as well by Sodhi, low to his left, shin height 48/345814055.5537.3 After bowling a bevy of bouncers, Wagner sends a full ball outside off. He catches the batsman in the crease. Shafiq simply reaches out for the ball that's angling away from him and feathers it behind. Wagner gives NZ some hope. And that's lunch on day four 130/413211061.9042.4 run-out. Babar Azam departs. The ball hits the inner edge and rolls towards short fine leg, Babar takes a step or two down before stopping, but Azhar Ali commits to it and keeps running. The fielder throws it to Ajaz who breaks the stumps before collecting the ball, I think, but to be on the safer side, takes out the stump as well 147/544.6 a big appeal, initially for lbw and then for caught behind as Sarfraz goes for the sweep. Denied. New Zealand are reviewing this. If not now, then when! There is a big spike when the ball goes past the glove. That's out, Pakistan lose their sixth and still need 22 154/602000.0046.2 What're Pakistan doing? Chaos. Straight ball on middle, Bilal Asif goes for a maaaaasive hack across the line, and only collects with a whole lot of fresh air. Patel hits middle stump and lets out a big roar. New Zealand are very much in this 154/707000.0047.4 Wagner finds the outside edge, nicked off to wide slip. Grant Flower, the batting coach, is stunned in the dressing room. Fuller and sliding across off, this could've been left alone. Instead, Yasir pushes at the ball and edges it to Taylor. Azhar, you should've farmed the strike! 155/850.6 It was coming, wasn't it? Hasan had already attempted two roundhouse swipes and did not connect. Patel lobs it up outside off, Hasan dares to slog-sweep it away against the turn with Pakistan 12 away from victory. He drops down to one knee and holes out to Southee the sub at the midwicket boundary 164/9not out010000.00Extras4 (b 4)TOTAL171 all out (58.4 Overs, RR: 2.91)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Imam-ul-Haq, 12.3 ov), 2-44 (Mohammad Hafeez, 13.1 ov), 3-48 (Haris Sohail, 13.4 ov), 4-130 (Asad Shafiq, 37.3 ov), 5-147 (Babar Azam, 42.4 ov), 6-154 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 44.6 ov), 7-154 (Bilal Asif, 46.2 ov), 8-155 (Yasir Shah, 47.4 ov), 9-164 (Hasan Ali, 50.6 ov), 10-171 (Azhar Ali, 58.4 ov)

My original watercolor "Seventh Day" (Genesis: 2) This artwork is to be interpreted however you may see it or how it speaks to your soul!
Printed on thick, HQ 100# matte poster paper OR you have the option to print on our all new High Quality Textured Canvas to give the illusion as if it is hand painted and not printed (11x17")! Canvas is not stretched on wooden backing, so we recommend adding one of our hand-made frames for an easy & quick framing option!
-sizes available:
-Classic 8.5x11" matte print
- Large 11x14" matte print
- Grande 11x17" textured canvas material*
- Colossal 24x36" glossy print
- Limited Cotton Tapestry {shop Tapestries HERE}
Mailed out flat in a protective stay-flat envelope {canvas & larger option is rolled}, delivery depends on your location from Dallas.Want a wooden frame?: After adding your desired print to your cart, click "size" and choose the "add wooden frame" to your cart as well. Each frame is roughly hand-cut and 100% hand-made with love. They are light and can hang anywhere. Assembled with twine and permanently added to your print. -- I strongly suggest adding this frame when purchasing a 11x17 Canvas for a guaranteed easy & beautiful framing option! Frames are 11in" in length and permanently mounted, cannot be added to prints larger than 11x14.
Due to the handmade process, there may be some slight imperfections! No two frames are the same, each piece of wood will have unique textures and colors. Colors may vary to each monitor screen for the prints.
Success! Feel free to
