Weekly Update #10
Happy Saturday everyone! This week in Acem Gaming we released some new tutorials on C#, Oculus Rift, and Unity 5.6 as well as finishing up our Robo Recall series, continuing our Lucky's Tale series, and starting a new series in Minecraft!
Tutorial News
This week for tutorials we covered dictionaries and delegates in C#, the ColliderDistance2D component, and how to set-up the camera GUI for the Oculus Rift. The delegates tutorial will be a gateway to event based programming which we will learn about next week. You can do a lot of cool things with events and I highly recommend learning how to use them for games. The Oculus Rift tutorial will teach you how to set-up a GUI for your camera. I put a lot of work into it and making a text version which can be followed on my website. The 5.6 tutorial on ColliderDistance2D & Distance will teach you how to use the new component included with Unity 5.6 and how to use it to find the distance of colliders in your scene.

Next week for tutorials we will be moving on to event based programming with the topic of events. The tutorial will extend what we learned in Delegates, and allow us to set-up a system which utilizes them. We will also learn how to work with files in C#. We'll focus on one file type and future tutorials will cover other files types. We'll also continue our Oculus Rift tutorial with interacting with objects in VR. The tutorial will provide a good grasp on interacting with objects so that in future tutorials we can actually use them. Finally, we will learn how to use the new sorting group component introduced with Unity 5.6. We are approaching the end of the 5.6 tutorials. There may be a break between 5.6 tutorials so that I can master a few of the new systems before releasing tutorials on them.

Acem Gaming Game Development News
This week for game development I've been focusing on learning how to use substance painter and programming a few of AIs for my VR game. I've also been working on creating a task list with associated time for my VR game so that I can come up with a timeline for when I can expect it to be finished. I will also probably release a demo game to my website and possibly a mobile version as well. I'll keep you posted with updates for it as I make them.

Acem Gameplay News
This week for Acem Gameplay we finished our series on Robo Recall and took down the final boss Odin. It was a pretty intense level to finish on, and I look forward to making a few more videos in Robo Recall once I finish up some of the challenges. I've continued the Lucky's Tale series and will be finishing up the main series next week. This week I introduced a new series on Minecraft in VR, and have had fun playing it, but don't know how many more videos I will do in it. It is pretty interesting to see how all of the mechanics work in VR, and if I can think of enough stuff to do in the videos I will keep doing them. Next week i'll be starting a new Gameplay series and will be excited to bring you new content. Let me know if you would rather it be commentary or naw.

Unity News
Not too much has been going on with Unity this week. More articles on getting ready for the VR Summit on May 1-2. There is also one on the FPS tool that comes with the Accelerator pack you can get with getting a Unity Plus subscription. It's a pretty cool tool for getting ramped up on FPS controls.
Unity Blog: https://blogs.unity3d.com/
That's all I have for this week. I will be extremely busy in the next few weeks so you may see a decrease in the amount of tutorials that I release. This weekend I am going to try to prerecord as many videos as possible so that I can keep my normal release schedule. Let me know if you have any suggestions for things that need to be changed or things that you would like to see. Hope you have a great weekend.

It's no secret that excess weight impedes the fitness goals of most people nowadays. Even worse, they lack a clue about how to shed off the unwanted weight rapidly, safely and effectively since most of the existing information is misleading and profit-driven. This situation has caused many people to spend a lot of money on ineffective and harmful weight loss products only to be left disappointed and hopeless.
Despite all that, there are still several weight loss drops and diet drops available in the market today like Total Life Changes Iaso Resolution Drops Formula that promises to deliver best weight loss effects without starving yourself or having to engage in an intense workout. Here's what you need to know about this product to help you determine whether it is right for you or just like the rest.
What is TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula?
Iaso® Resolution Drops is a dietary supplement designed and manufactured by Total Life Changes (TLC) to help you lose weight not just rapidly but also safely. It is a hormone free diet drops and even more impressive about this product is that it promises to deliver these benefits with minimal or no interference of your normal routine. Additionally, when this formula is combined with the manufacturer's recommended 1200-calorie TLC diet plan, it helps to expedite weight loss effects and minimize the probability of gaining weight again in the future.
Aside from claiming to help you lose weight drastically in about 20 days, it helps to get rid toxins and fats from your body while keeping food cravings at bay. The suggested daily calorie intake only allows the consumption of three balanced diet meals per day including 200 calories for breakfast, 400 calories each for lunch and dinner and two (100) calories snacks to be taken throughout your day. Moreover, the formula of Resolution Drops for weight loss comprises of high-quality, certified raw materials.
TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula Ingredients
According to the information provided by Total Life Changes (TLC), here's a list of the active ingredients that make up Resolution Drops:
- Fucus vesiculosus
- Ignatia amara
- Calcarea carbonica
- Nux vomica
- Graphites
- Thyroidinum
- Lycopodium clavatum
- Avena sativa
- Ammonium bromatum
- Sulphuricum acidum
The 60ml bottle also contains inactive ingredients used to make the formula. They include glycerin 10%v/v purified water and alcohol base 20% v/v.
How does TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula Works?
Since Total Life Changes only avails the list of ingredients used without their individual dosages, knowing the effects of each ingredient can be a daunting task. However, looking at the effects of the active ingredients can shed more light on this matter.
Resolution Drops works by reducing food cravings, which is an ideal effect if you are considering to lose weight. It helps you to feel full in a bid to allow you to stick to the suggested diet plan. Also thanks to an ingredient like Nux vomica, the product aids in tackling indigestion, bloating, hunger and relieving nausea. Furthermore, the supplement helps in relieving sugar cravings and metabolic disorders by influencing nutrition, development and growth organs.
The product trains your body to reject foods that trigger weight gains such as flour and sugar. In fact, if you eat such foods while using Resolution Drops, you may experience morning sickness. It also assists in the release of the stored fat from fat reserves, which is then broken down into energy. The body uses this energy to help you carry out your normal routine.
TLC Diet Plan
According to TLC, this supplement should be used as part of the recommended 1200-calories-per-day diet plan. This means that you should not exceed 1200 calories in a single day. The manufacturer also recommends users to limit their calories to around 760 in a bid to lose more, for instance, 1-3 lbs. in a day. Furthermore, the diet plan restricts you from eating four food categories including:
- All fried foods
- Flour-made foods
- Chocolate
- Foods with added sugar content
Based on the manufacturer's advice, failing to adhere to this diet plan may trigger certain side effects such as vomiting or nausea. The purpose of such feelings is to help reprogram your body to stay away from such foods by any means necessary when using the product. What this means is that you cannot use opt to follow the suggested diet plan and skip the supplement. You will fail miserably since you will not have anything to suppress that strong urge for sugar and food.
Side Effects of TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula
This product is backed by numerous positive customer reviews on trusted third party sites such as Amazon. Some of the negative reviews may be owed to failure to adhere to the suggested diet plan, which is said to work effectively when used with the formula. Either way, no adverse side effects have been reported about the product. However, just make sure that before you use this supplement or any other, you consult your doctor first.
How to Use TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula
Based on the information provided on the TLC website, you should only take 15 drops of this product before each meal i.e. three times a day. However, in case you get symptoms of dizziness or nausea, you are advised by the manufacturer to lower your dosage to 10 drops.
Pregnant or nursing women are also advised against using this product due to the nutritional value required by their babies. Moreover, those under 18 years should also stay away from the supplement according to FDA rules.
Pros of TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula
- It has no reported side effects
- Features an all-natural formula
- Backed by a diet plan to boost its effects
- Comes with a 100% money-back guarantee for 30 days
- The manufacturer offers a list of approved foods to keep you on the right track
Cons of TLC Iaso Resolution Drops Formula
- It is a bit costly for most people
- Committing to the 1,200 calories per day diet plan is not easy
- There's a possibility of experiencing side effects like nausea and dizziness
The Bottom Line
There's no doubt that Resolution Drops is one of the well-known weight loss products in the world. It also boasts a list of natural ingredients that allows the product to suppress food cravings while keeping you going by providing your body with natural energy. Although it's a good thing that the manufacturer offers a diet plan, it can be hard for you to follow. In turn, this may derail your goals to attain the desired body. By and large, this is a risk-free product that you can buy easily from Amazon without worrying about getting value for your money since you can always get a full refund within 30 days.

The new year is upon us and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of resolutions fading into nothingness.
But not yours. This is the year you learn something new. The year you finally figure out what the heck CSS stands for and why developers think those "CSS is Awesome" shirts are so funny. Or maybe it's time to venture away from your little PSD Raster Pond and use the Vector River to journey into Sketch Lake.
Just Start
Don't make excuses as to why you haven't learned that thing you want to learn, don't doubt, just start. Somewhere. Somehow. After all, doubt has killed more dreams than failure ever did. And if you need reference over why failure is incredibly useful and necessary, please journey over to Your Team Needs Your Permission to Fail.
"If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than what you are."
— Master Ugway (Kung Foo Panda)
From Designer to Dev
In 2015 I set a goal that I would learn web development. I had dabbled in email campaign development working with… gulp… tables… but never had done any code work for static websites, let alone a site with a CMS behind it. Working at a small agency has big upsides when you want to learn something new. They get to expand services and/or grow from within and you get the time to learn while being on the clock. I did what I could to learn the basics but without having something of significance to build, it was all theory in my mind. Thus the power of learning by doing. The more you do, the more you learn, and if you have deadlines looming, you're also forced to learn and learn quickly.
That being said, never underestimate how helpful resources like WordPress documentation, a solid framework, and go-to plugins can be. But, no matter what you're learning, prepare for intense growing pains. It took a lot of swimming around in code I didn't understand to get to where I am today. And where am I today? Still with a lot to learn and moving forward.
Then there's the question: Should designers code? And if they shouldn't why bother learning?
My answer: I don't know! I believe this is answered on a case-by-case basis. Do you, specifically you, make a good developer and also a good designer? The bottom line is, if the UX suffers because the time spent on dev work, then no, you as a designer should not also code. Designers are natural problem solvers and when time spent solving UX problems is being eaten up by making something work with code, the end product suffers and you aren't putting your best out there.
Now that I have you confused… This is about learning something new and now I'm telling you not to learn to code. Wrong.
I write a lot less code once I discovered how much better the UX could be if I handed the work off to another dev. But the knowledge gained from learning something new made me a better web designer. Understanding code means better communication and fewer headaches when talking with a dev. We can talk about what needs to be done and I know if I'm asking for something that's difficult or relatively easy to accomplish.

London is a beautiful city. It is a known fact, and that is why, when a wise old man said, 'Once you are tired of London, you are tired of life', it was widely accepted. Such is the charm of the capital of England and the United Kingdom that if you cannot find something you love in London, you may not find anything you love anywhere else in the world.
What stands to reason this sweeping statement is the fact that the city has everything to love—from mind-boggling architecture to a history that's steeped in culture. From the largest music festivals to unusual warehouse parties, from fine food to the allure of Old England and everything in between. If ever in need of a low-key and romantic evening, it also has boat cruises, street art tours and rooftop bars.
Whether you're a visitor or a resident here, you will never be short of new things to discover, explore and enjoy. With a large, dense and multicultural populace, London has made way for many cultures and influences in its own way. But despite being a melting point for different traditions, it retains its classic English olde-worlde charm.
Therefore, it is safe to say that the best place to visit is London as it has the capacity to fulfil every wish you may ever have. When visiting London, for the best experience, it is advisable to consider hotels near the Shard. Hotels in this vicinity are centrally located and are accessible to all the major points of London.
Here are five reasons why staying at The LaLiT London is the best idea when it comes to having a pleasurable trip to London:
The architecture
This boutique hotel is built in a former Victorian grammar school designed by the same architect who built the Old Bailey. The cost for property refurbishment was 50 million pounds and took a time duration of 5 years to get completed. This adds an exclusivity to the building which can be seen and enjoyed as guests in this hotel.
The restaurants
The LaLiT London also houses one of the best restaurants for authentic pan-Asian food in the city. With its vaulted ceilings and the mighty hall, it adds a great deal of grandeur to the simple act of dining. One can have a magnificent feast here with all its splendour and magnificence on show.
Great food
Along with the ambience, the food is excellent and of the finest quality. The Naanery at Baluchi serves freshly baked artisan breads every single day. One can experiment with different flavours and baked goods. Along with a great décor, The LaLiT London has one of the best restaurants in London where one can expect food cooked and prepared to perfection.
One of the best things about this hotel is its location. It is centrally located and is at a walking distance from all the main sightseeing spots of the city. For instance, the Shard is around 10 minutes' walk away which is a great piece of architecture worth visiting. Other highlights such as Borough Market and the Tower of London are not too far away either. With such short distances, the guests can enjoy easy accessibility and the charm of living right in the centre of the hustling-bustling city.
The LaLiT London is known for its warm hospitality and excellent services. The facilities are many, and the services are prompt. The staff make the guests as comfortable as possible, along with the many facilities available for the guests 24×7.
Have you stayed at The LaLiT London before? What do you love about London?

Nowadays, just about anyone can craft and send out a campaign to their list of subscribers. However, just because you have it push-button easy, it doesn't mean that you will get the result that you want from the campaign.Even though you've designed the most beautiful, engaging, precisely-formatted, and well-written email, it's not enough - it's time for an email marketing makeover. Nonetheless, this doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. This is a clear indication that you should take a step back and make some changes to how you go about your strategy.
It's time for an email marketing makeover!
Sometimes, you will find yourself in the situation when you know that your email marketing isn't working as you have hoped. You receive little to no engagement and the results are satisfactory at best, or worse, falling. How do you fix it? We are here to teach you how to go about things the right way. Even better, the advice below is easy to implement and you will start seeing an increase in the engagement fast. Not only that but you will also see improvement in the metrics that matter such as open rates, clicks, and conversions. Let's start your email marketing makeover.
Problem: Your Email List Isn't Growing as Fast as You've Hoped
The good news is that this problem is faced by many and not just yourself. The reason why this happens is that your campaign is simply not good enough. Even if some people subscribe, they often leave as soon as you send the first campaign.
In the majority of cases, it happens because you haven't got the subscribers that care about the thing that you're offering. In addition to this, it could be because you haven't grown the list organically. Hence, the growth rate has slowed, flattened, or even worse, reversed.
Solution: Create Something New
Don't be afraid of changes, if you want your email list and your business to grow, you have to change constantly. Before you apply the solution, you have to take a look at what you're offering your customers in order for them to join your list. You probably offer an eBook or some sort of motivational video. But, how long has this offer last? How old is the eBook or video? Are you sure the information is relevant?
The solution would be to offer something new. If you don't have the resources, you should try updating the eBook or make a new video with similar content. The main idea is that it has to look brand new even if it isn't.
Problem: Subscribers Don't Engage with The Campaign
Even if you have an impressive list with thousands of potential customers, you aren't guaranteed to have numerous open rates. In addition to this, you may even suffer from slow or click-through rates. Why an email campaign is no longer as profitable as before happens because of many reasons such as:
• The email is not formatted properly
• Images and GIFs don't load for all subscribers
• You send too many emails per week at the wrong time and day
The most probable cause why people don't engage with you is because you're only sending out an email when you're selling something. This shows to your customers that you don't want to take the time to know them better. The perception would be that you're selling and nothing else. If you're in this situation, you will find the campaign in the Spam or Trash folder - you, sir, is the first to need a email marketing makeover.
Solution: Renew Your Thinking About Email Marketing
One reason why people no longer engage with you is that people don't relate to your service or product that you're selling. This happens because you haven't checked your email list. You often have to figure out how many people still have the same email address, whether that particular address is written correctly, or if the address is classified as spam.
TheChecker is an email verification service that will allow you to take full control of the list with real-time email validation. By implementing it on any form on your website, you will ensure that your list doesn't have misspelled addresses ever again.
In addition to this, you also have to consider sending a newsletter to your subscribers as they don't just have an impact on engagement rates – they go much further. A newsletter will allow strangers to learn more about your company and the people behind it. In addition to this, it allows subscribers to connect with you and the product or service that you're offering.
By establishing a relationship or a connection with each individual subscriber, people will look forward to receiving your email campaigns.
How do you go about this? It's simple, you have to think about using an email marketing calendar. You will use it the same way you do when scheduling out sale emails. When using such a calendar, you have to find the days where you will send a campaign about other things your subscribers value.
Is there any history behind the product that the company sells? Are there new and exciting things coming up? Is there a particular story you want to share with your customers? The most important thing that you must understand is that less is more. Thus, you should limit a newsletter for once every 2 weeks.
This is a new way of thinking about email marketing as it isn't just about selling. Nowadays, it's about making a connection with your customers.
Problem: People See the Campaign, But Don't Purchase
In some situations, you will find that your open rates are decent but your conversions are all. This means that people are not buying what you're offering. While it's true that the problem can be because of the website itself, in the majority of cases it's because of your email.
For this particular article, we will assume that the website is also converting sales but the conversion rates from the emails directly are little to none.
Solution: Retarget Campaigns (finishing your email marketing makeover)
Most potential customers will come to the website, have a look at each landing page, and leave. The problem for you is that you've probably spent a lot of time, effort, and money to get them that far. So, how can you get them to the final step?
This is why it's a good idea to start retargeting campaigns. Retargeting is a useful tool that can show your customers an ad for your own website across a variety of other web properties – even if you don't own those websites. Think about it, what if they could see the product that they've seen yesterday while looking through their social media feed?
When it's done correctly, it will serve as a reminder for customers of your product or service. In addition to this, it will also capture their attention towards you rather than the competitors. Essentially, you will have a second chance to ensure that people are making a purchase.
That's your email marketing makeover out there! Had any luck? Tell us!

You've got a 4.0, created the perfect resume, and established a flawless network of connections, but it takes a lot more than these things to gain the attention of employers. Today more than ever before, competition is fierce in the entry-level job market. As an entry-level job seeker, you've got to go above and beyond to outshine other job applicants.
There's no magic formula for catching the attention of every employer, but there are several ways you can gain an edge during your job search. The following infographic, compiled by InternMatch, an online platform connecting the best intern candidates and employers, showcases some job search facts and measures you should be taking to land your entry-level job before the rest of your graduating class. Here are a few noteworthy points:
- Only 6.6% of students completed their first internship after they graduated
- 47% of interviewers said little to no company knowledge is the most common interview mistake
- 1 in 6 job seekers credit social media for their current job
- About 81% of managers felt that volunteer work makes graduates more attractive job candidates
Take a look at the full infographic below!
What do you think is the best way to catch the eye of employers?

adsorb - to form a thin layer of molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid or liquid.
anemia - a condition where your red blood cells do not carry enough oxygen, usually because the number of red cells is too low
alleles - One of a set of alternate forms of a gene. An example is the different alleles of eye color. Each of the different forms of the gene code for eye color, only each codes for a different color i.e. blue, brown, green.
cellular respiration - the process organisms undergo that converts glucose to energy, usually using oxygen and glucose to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
centrifuge - a machine that rotates (spins) rapidly and uses centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities. You've used a centrifuge before. Have you ever watched a washing machine on spin cycle? A washing machine uses centrifugal force in the spin cycle to separate the water from your clothes.
chromatography - a way of finding out which substances a mixture contains by passing it through or over something that absorbs the different substances at different rates.
chromosomes - The self- replicating genetic structures of cells containing the DNA that bears in its sequence the cell's array of genes. In prokaryotes (bacteria), chromosomal DNA is circular, and the entire genome is carried on one chromosome. Eukaryotic (mammalian and other higher organisms) genomes consist of a number of chromosomes whose DNA is associated with different kinds of proteins.
cytoskeleton - parts of the cell
that give it structure and hold things
debris - parts or fragments of something that has been broken down.
denature - a protein is said to be denatured if it unfolds or uncoils so that its function is abolished even though the primary string of amino acids remains intact.
diffusion - molecules
have energy, so when they are dissolved in water
ecosystem - a group of interdependent organisms and the environment they live in and depend on.
electric charges - atoms acquire an
electric charge when they have too many
electron micrograph - A picture taken by a very high powered microscope that magnifies enough to see large molecules. In both light and electron microscopes, illumination is provided by a source (lamp, filament in the electron gun) which is focused by a condenser lens onto the specimen. A first magnified image is formed by the objective lens. This image is further magnified by the projector lens onto a ground glass screen (light) or fluorescent screen (electrons). For a comprehensive comparison of microscope principles, click here.
elution - to remove one substance from another by washing it out with a solvent. For example, rinsing an adsorbed material from the surface it is attached to.
endoplasmic reticulum - structures outside the nucleus of a cell that contain RNA. This is where protein synthesis actually takes place
extraction - separation of a material (substance) from a mixture by dissolving one or more of the substances in a solvent
facilitate - to make something easier to do
fluid mosaic - the model used to describe the structure of cell membranes. Fluid- refers to the motion of the molecules in the membrane. The molecules are able to move, like molecules in a liquid, instead of being stationary, like molecules in a solid. Mosaic-something consisting of a variety of elements. In this case, a cell membrane is made up of several different kinds of lipids and proteins.
food chains - the sequence of food and nutrient distribution among different species. For example, small plant cells in water are eaten by small fish, small fish are eaten by big fish, big fish are eaten by people
glycolysis - the first step in cellular respiration. The breakdown of 6-carbon glucose to two 3-carbon pyruvic acids.
Golgi apparatus - a long,
twisted tube or backbone to which newly
gradient - a measure of change in a physical quantity, such as concentration or temperature, over a specified range or distance.
heredity - the transmission of qualities from parent to offspring through the genes. Also see inherit.
homogenous - same, alike, or unvarying in consistency, or components
immiscible - describes two or more liquids that will not mix together to form a single homogenous (unvarying) substance.
inherit - to receive a trait from a parent (or ancestor.) You inherit bodily traits such as eye color from your parents. Also see heredity.
intoxication - to make drunk with alcohol, drugs or other substances. When using intoxication to describe an effect of a substance on the body (the pathology of a substance) intoxication also means poison or to poison someone.
ions - an atom that has lost or gained
one or more electrons. Thus,
jaundice - a yellowing of the skin, usually showing up in the whites of the eyes, fingernails, and other lightly pigmented parts of the body surface. There are three main causes: 1) accumulation of a breakdown product (called bilirubin) of excessive destruction of red blood cells (bruises often have localized jaundice in the early stage of healing), 2) a failure of the liver to remove the normal amounts of bilirubin, or 3) failure of elimination of bilirubin via the bile that is normally made in the liver and dumped into the intestine as a waste product.
ketones - a class of body chemicals in which part of the molecule contains a carbon-oxygen bond (C= O).These form from the breakdown of fats and proteins in the liver. The can accumulate to toxic levels if the blood sugar falls too low (as in certain diabetes situations, starvation, or eating a high fat-low carbohydrate diet). They are toxic because they make the body fluids too acid for enzymes to work properly.
kinetic energy - energy associated with motion. A rock rolling down a hill has kinetic energy. Also see potential energy.
Krebs' cycle - the second stage in cellular respiration where citric acid goes through a series of reactions that produce water, carbon dioxide and free electrons.
lipids - Lipids are also known as fats, but they include compounds of many different kinds. Chemically, these compounds are built on a backbone of glycerol, which was a three-carbon chain. Each carbon, in turn, bonds via an oxygen molecule to so-called fatty acids. Fatty acids have an acid group (COOH) at one end that is attached to a chain of carbons. Lipids differ mainly in the nature of the fatty acid chains.
molecules - When two or more atoms
bond together, they are called
nitrites - chemicals that contain a nitrogen and oxygen atom (NO) that are made from nitrates by microbes in the gut or soil. Nitrates provide the nitrogen content in fertilizer. Obviously, farm animals can be poisoned by eating fertilizer and even plants that have been over-fertilized. These are poisonous because they bind to hemoglobin and keep it from carrying oxygen in the blood. In large enough concentrations, nitrites and their reaction products can promote cancer. See http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwh/c-ioc/nitrates.html for information on nitrites/nitrates in drinking water.
opacity - ability of material to stop light.
For example, muddy water is
organelles - Literally, the term means "little organs." Inside a cell, there are various little structures that perform specific functions, much like the multicellular organs of our body do. In the cell, these include generating energy (the organelle is the mitochondrion), making proteins (the organelles are ribosomes and Golgi apparatus), and others.
osmosis - the movement of a solvent (like water)
from an area of lesser to greater concentrations so that the solvent will be evenly
distributed. So for example, if you put a cell in pure water (that has no dissolved
chemicals in it), the water outside would move inside to increase the concentration
partition - to separate something into different parts or sections.
permeability - the speed at which a membrane will allow substances to pass through it.
phagocytosis - the process by which certain cells destroy toxins and other organic matter by wrapping their cell membrane around it, and incorporating it into the phagocytic cell, where enzymes break down the chemicals and destroy them.
phosphate bonds (high energy) - adenosine diphosphate has two phosphate groups bonded like this: O - P - O - P. The ADP can capture external energy and store it in a third phosphate group. The bond that holds the third phosphate group to the molecule has high energy and can readily release it. A similar principle applies to other compounds that store energy in phosphate bonds.
phospholipids - Phospholipids are typical lipids, except that a phosphate group (POO4) is bonded to one end of one of the fatty acid chains. See lipids.
porous - containing pores, or holes that permit the movement of fluids or gases. An example of a porous material is a sponge. Porosity is the extent to which a substance contains pores. Swiss cheese has high porosity compared to cheddar.
potential energy - energy that an object (or piece of matter) has because of its position, or an arrangement of its parts (for example chemical bonds.) A rock at the top of a hill has potential energy. Also see kinetic energy.
proteins - molecules made of long strings of
repeating units, called amino acids.
solvent - a material (usually a liquid) in which other substances are dissolved
substrate - fluid or solid in which an item is placed, or environment in which something may function. For example, a fish's substrate is water. In this case, the substrate that the protein is placed into is a jello-like gel. In chemistry, the substrate is also whatever is acted upon, for example, and antibody's substrate is the part of the germ it attacks.
sucrose - a type of sugar. Sugars are carbohydrates.
sugar - compounds that contain only carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ring

The Importance Of Balancing Your Checkbook
Every once in awhile I get a shock when I look at my bank balance online. It's not because I'm overdrawn, but I will notice that it's less than what I thought I had.
The problem is that I don't consistently balance my checkbook. I do check balances, and I do balance most of the time, but sometimes I forget to do it, and thus the shock when I look at my balance.
The importance of balancing your checkbook is so you really know how much money you have in your account. These days, being able to check our balances online gives us a false sense of security in thinking we know what our balance is at the time. The truth, however, is that it can only show you what transactions have actually taken place through the bank, and not tell you how things are overall.
For instance, with my business checks, sometimes the people I'm paying don't get around to depositing that check for a couple of months. Without balancing my checkbook, I may not know that a certain check hasn't been cashed yet and spend that amount. If I spend too much into that check amount, I'll overdraw my account. It's easy to do, and it can be scary.
Depositors have 90 days to deposit your check before it's considered null and void. Some banks will cash checks older, but that's not standard practice. Even electronic payments sometimes take longer than you expected to show up in your bank account; that goes both ways, by the way, as sometimes you receive payments electronically and might have to wait up to 7 days for it to show up.
There are two ways to balance your checkbook; the traditional way and the modern way. The traditional way is to take your monthly bank statement and follow the directions on the back of the form. It tells you to write out the balance the statement says you have, then on one side list all the checks and electronic payments and withdrawals you've made since the last date showing on the front of the statement. The smart move is to go through all the check numbers and mark them off in your check register to see if any checks are missing that should have cleared. If not, add those checks to your list of outstanding checks.
On the other side, list all deposits into your accounts. Total both columns up, then subtract all checks and withdrawals from the total, then add back all deposits, and that will tell you what your true balance is. If you balance to the amount in your check register, great; if not, see if you missed an entry.
Now, if you're not writing down all of your checks, this next method is definitely for you. You need to have online access to your bank account. Then what you do is see what your balance is and go back at least two pages to see what checks are showing. If you notice check numbers missing and they're recent, then subtract those from the balance showing online. If you're going back two pages and you notice there's a check number missing, go back at least one more page, and if you don't see it then you'll know that something it outstanding. Trying to guess what's missing and for how much will be problematic, but at least you'll be wary.
Truthfully, most people write certain checks for a consistent amount monthly, or at least close to that amount, so it may be easy to figure out what's missing. If you happen to be a person who writes a lot of checks indiscriminately, you're in some trouble.
If more people balanced their checkbooks on some kind of consistent basis, they wouldn't overdraw their accounts, and thus face stiff penalties from their banking institutions. That's never good, because it takes even more money from you that you probably needed. Be careful with your bank accounts and feel secure in how much money you really have to spend.

We already have a nice "SALE" badge by default with WooCommerce (as well as the "OUT OF STOCK") one. These show on the shop page once certain conditions are met.
Now, what if we wanted to show a "NEW" badge for products added in the last 30 days? This would certainly grab the customer attention, and also communicate the fact your shop is constantly updating with new products and content (well, good for Google too, right?).
So, how do they do it? (Sounds like one of those Discovery Channel shows…)
Well, here's a simple snippet for you; simply copy/paste into your functions.php and magically a "NEW" badge will show (note: CSS is not provided, you'll need to adjust it based on your current theme and custom styles). Continue reading WooCommerce: Display "NEW" Badge on Recent Products

This full size, 58 inch, ¾ jointed cue is crafted by Peradon in England from kiln dried, North American Ash and exotic Ebony.
This cue can accept a mini butt or any other Peradon extension which are all sold separately - picture for illusatrative purposes only.
The Ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness before being turned and machine spliced to the finest Ebony butt timber.
An Ebony front splice and Sycamore veneer is then spliced to the butt section to further enhance the appearance.
The cue is then turned to its final tapered finish before the numerous sanding and finishing processes are undertaken to achieve a 'silk smooth' finish.
To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the 'quick action' joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and precisely fitted 12" from the butt end to give the shaft length of 46".
A 'quick action' butt end joint is fitted to accept the optional extensions on the 'related products' section of this page.
Extensions may be fitted into either the ¾ joint in the cue or into the butt end joint.
The butt is finished with a name plate bearing the signature of the legendary Joe Davis, who praised the craftsmanship of Peradon and gave the company the sole rights to use his name indefinitely.
This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 9 ½ to 10mm Elkmaster tip.

Most Helpful Review
Find out what your peers are saying about Rubrik, Veeam Software, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery Software. Updated: March 2020.
408,154 professionals have used our research since 2012.
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console.
It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed.
The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources.
I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice.
The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great.
The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms
The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment.
We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it.
It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it.
The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages.
One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data.
The backup features are very useful.
The storage backup is very efficient.
This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed.
Works in the background and users are able to perform restores.
I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center.
It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy.
The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress.
Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool.
Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running.
There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console.
They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information.
This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it.
To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs.
In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers.
We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened.
The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet.
The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved.
The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better.
I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin.
Pricing and Cost Advice
Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly.
There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution.
Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers.
Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte.
The price could perhaps be lower as well.
In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually.
Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair.
Support payment works by the level of partnership and the number of shares.
The pricing of this solution is good, and it is one of the easiest things that you can sell Azure with.
The pricing of this solution is ok, but I'm expecting that the price will decrease in the future.

Do you struggle to project your voice? Do others need to strain to hear you?
While we may tell ourselves the story of "Oh, I'm just a quiet person", it can often be due to our mindset. We may not believe our voice or message deserves to be heard, or we are afraid of making a mistake…so we speak very softly, so we don't run the risk of others hearing those mistakes.
This is why I am excited to be re-sharing this inspiring conversation I had with vocal coach, YouTuber and author Kimberley Smith. No matter who you are, she's here to convince you that yes – your voice deserves to be heard.
Kim says many students come to her with the belief that their voice isn't good enough, and she helps them to make amazing changes to how they sound, overcome their fears, discover their unique voice and unleash their full potential.
Kim is also the author of The Moderately Tortured Artist, which she describes as a "permission slip" for musicians to put themselves out there and start making epic, whole hearted music, which I think is fantastically cool.
What I love about Kim is she feels the fear and does it anyway. Yes, she freaked out at her first "thumbs down" on YouTube. Yes, she can't bear to look at her book's Amazon review page. But she continues to push forward, takes the criticism in her stride and continues on her mission to change the world for the better.
I really wanted to hear Kim's thoughts on putting yourself and your voice out there and opening yourself up to criticism (and being a YouTuber, Kim's had her fair share of it). We also talk about vocal projection and how to do it if you want to speak with more confidence and authority.

On: The future Commander feature and how it can be properly implemented
Vance replied to 40mmrain's topic in General DiscussionThere's a strong argument for both sides, to be sure. If the role is only used some of the time, I'd rather it not exist at all. I agree with OP in that the role needs its own set of mechanics to work in SQUAD: FOB authorization, vehicle assignment, perhaps even buying the vehicles w/ points from the team's pool before the match. I can tell you that as a regular Squad Leader, I have often keenly felt the absence of a battlefield commander. While SQUAD does work with just the Command channel, oftentimes there is just far too much on my plate, and I can't both lead my squad in the middle of an engagement and simultaneously coordinate with other SL's on where the next FOB should be, how many construction points to load, where mortars should be fired, where the enemy armor is moving to, the cap status on our flag, all while accurately marking and updating enemy locations on my map. The best roles are the ones that grow organically out of gameplay, and in case the devs are wondering, yes, there is already a vacuum of power that exists in any game of SQUAD. Even pre-match planning is often too much for me to handle adequately as I make sure all my troops are selecting roles (Medics, LATs/HATs), making sure everyone is spawned in and loaded up in the right transport, while also briefing them on everything being planned in Command. I would say that if the devs do want to implement a Commander role, he needs a special screen. Not just the spawn screen everyone else gets - you should be able to look at a tiny thumbnail of a YouTube video and immediately tell this person is playing the Commander role by his user interface. It's gotta look the part - while functionality is what drives gameplay, the design of the driver's seat should be tailor-made so that people can't help but intuitively understand the role they are expected to play. Studying RTS games is probably the best route for designing the Commander role, as he must derive his gameplay satisfaction from pure RTS-style gameplay. The role be designed so that it can't be ignored without sabotaging the quality of your own gameplay experience, as OP mentioned. Roles that exist in name-only rarely work in video games, it's gotta be backed up so that even a foot soldier can tell if the enemy Commander is incompetent at his job. THAT'S how you know you've made a gameplay-relevant role. On the other hand, part of the draw of SL is that you can make Command-level decisions which the footsoldier simply can't make due to lack of access to the Command Channel, FOB placement ability, and map marker use. I usually know exactly where the team needs a FOB, and just placing it there can secure the match, while being ordered to construct a terribly placed FOB by an incompetent Commander could not only be demoralizing to the squad and its SL, but also take a capable squad out of the fight that would otherwise be engaged in smarter things. After all, if people have a dumb SL, they just change squads - if you have a dumb Commander, you could be forced to leave the match. I think SQUAD will do just fine as an SL-only affair, not having a Commander role isn't going to kill the game at all - and the game is called SQUAD anyway, not PLATOON. The limited command structure is simple enough for new players to understand and follow - SL's do the planning, squad members do the shooting. If I was to cast my vote now, I'd vote "no" to Commander role, because there's nothing that's worse for a PVP game than bogging it down with empty roles and unnecessary red tape. Keep it lean and mean, and distill the gameplay down to the tense Squad v Squad firefights we all love.
On Behalf Of All Scouts - CHECK YOUR MAP
Vance replied to ProjectRealityDude's topic in General DiscussionDriving over a friendly mine is potentially one of the costliest mistakes in the game: #1. Lose your team's Logi, APC/IFV, or Troop Transport full of troops (no FOB, armor support, or squad attack) #2. Make the road safe for enemy travel again (potentially saving an enemy Logi, APC/IFV, or Troop Transport at the same time) #3. Waste the Scout's time that placed the mine (often takes 5-8 minutes to place a good mine, and if you blow it the Scout may as well have been AFK in main) Admittedly one of the most hilarious sights in the game is a Scout frantically running towards a Logi driving down the road, screaming at the top of his lungs "STOP THE F***ING TRUCK! MINE! ABLAS ESPANOL??? STOP-O POR FAVOR, ROAD ES NO BUENO!!! F***ING STOP, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!" Then the subsequent explosion and the expletive-ridden swearing of the Scout heard in the distance... "IF YOU WOULD HAVE JUST LISTENED TO ME, YOU WOULDN'T ALL BE DEAD. I HOPE YOU ENJOY DRIVING IN HELL, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE DEAD PEOPLE GO." Check your maps when you drive, guys. I play a lot of Scout and I place my mines in areas you can't swerve in.
It got sticked on Squad's Steam forum around 24 hours after I posted it - link here I'm planning to create an entire 101 series for Squad, partly to train my squad and partly because I think a lot of squad roles (Machine Gunner and Marksman especially) are not being used optimally by the average SQUAD player. (For all you Marksman haters, I love having a Marksman in my squad). If you have any special requests for guides (Mortar 101, SuperFOB 101) just let me know and I might work it in. Most of this info comes from notes I wrote for myself in Evernote while I was learning the game, so I have the foundations of all the guides ready to go. Please upvote and comment on the guide if you liked it, it helps me by bringing the guide to the top of the list so people find it - and ensures more people read it so we start getting better SL's (and better games) in the SQUAD community.
Slots still open in H.A.R.M., our first scheduled session starts tomorrow, on Saturday August 25th. PM me if you're interested in joining and you may get a permanent slot in Squad 1 based on attendance - we will be playing a casual session the first time around just to get to know each other.
Thoughts on Suppression
Vance replied to Vance's topic in General DiscussionMy honest opinion is that getting hit should either hurt you more or kill you faster. It's not a popular opinion on this board and I could be wrong about whether it would be good for the game or not, but my decision to shoot back at an enemy attempting to suppress me has nothing to do with the effects that are being superimposed on my screen. I do it because I can afford to get hit, period. If you've ever played the Diablo games in Hardcore mode (a.k.a. one life mode) you know it changes absolutely everything about how you approach the game, from what stats are valuable on items, to what engagements you take, to the kind of people you want playing with you. It didn't stagnate the game, it actually made it more dynamic, and once I started playing it I never, ever went back (also what most people report). In game design, it's better to try and design a derby then make it safe, than design bumper cars and try and make it exciting. You can afford make the gameplay punishing, hostile, and volatile, then dial it down with patches, not the other way around. The best gameplay, in my experience, is when everything is balanced to feel too strong. IDEAS - Weapon sway proportional to remaining health - Torso one-shots - Stacking spawn timers (longer and longer spawns the more you die) - Players cannot self-bandage - Limping or reduced movement on being hit - Aim punch on being shot - Fall down if hit by a shot that does more than 50% of your health in damage (just like we fall down when hit by a truck) - Immediate incap if shot while Bleeding (no more walking away from being triple-tapped) - Yell in pain on being shot, and groans while moving in Wounded state - Can't Sprint if Wounded - Much slower Crawl speed if Wounded or no Fast Crawl - Much faster Bleed Outs - K/D ratio on Official Servers is tracked and tied to your Steam profile, viewable on a Career page - Dying frees up your chosen Role for another squadmate until you re-select it on spawn (if it's still available by then) These are just some ideas to experiment with. Some of them are extreme changes, but all-in-all, it's best to make those kind of changes while the game is in Alpha and not when designing the 8th helicopter for the expansion crowd. I personally don't think I'd mind my screen just going black on taking a nasty bullet or getting a mortar to the helmet. The only thing that really gets the autopilot crowd to play it safe is if they are punished by not being able to continue playing for a while if they put their character in irresponsible positions.
Thoughts on Suppression
Vance posted a topic in General DiscussionThere is a common misconception I see in the suppression debate. The argument is often thrown around that recruits IRL are very affected by suppressive fire, while in SQUAD people behave like stone-hearted elite operatives and ignore the hail of bullets in favor of returning accurate fire, due to a weak "suppression effect" in the game. It might be interesting to consider this: Though the recruit is definitely more scared of bullets than the operative, recruits die to bullets far more often than elite operatives do. This is because operatives don't actually need to receive fire to evaluate what they can and can't do in a certain situation - all that is needed to suppress an operative is the threat of fire. If an operative knows he is within the effective range of an MG, and all other factors considered, he evaluates that this engagement is not in his favor, he will not come out of cover by even as much as a pinky finger. Suppression IS happening, without a single bullet being fired. The MG is already winning. Recruits, on the other hand, will often peek, try to maneuver, or try to return fire - and receive what is ordinarily termed "suppressive fire" as a result. Suppression can happen WITHOUT bullets being fired. As for how to fix the current problem of suppressing fire not being very suppressive, I can only speak from my gameplay experience. When I choose to run through a bulletstorm, which I admittedly do often, I make that decision for 3 reasons: #1. CURRENT BULLET DAMAGE I know that the only way I can be dropped in one shot is to get hit with a .50 cal bullet or higher at close range, or get shot in the head. Due to the fact that I can take two bullets before I go down (or even slow down), I am much less afraid of "bullet hoses" or rifle "area fire," because hitting an enemy twice in a row, MG or no, requires you to focus on firing at a specific single target. The soldier doesn't mush his face into the mud because he's scared of getting hit twice - it's because he knows that getting hit at all is not an option. #2. REVIVE If I do go down, I know that I can still get back up due to Medics. This isn't an argument against Medic revives per se, but the "everyone revives" change that is supposed to be implemented in the next patch may exacerbate the suppression problem. I know that when I'm out of bandages, I suddenly find myself a LOT more scared of the bullets landing around me. #3. SPAWN MECHANICS It is often a benefit to die in SQUAD. Sometimes I'm low on ammo and I truly want to die. I may be separated from my unit and I know it's much faster to die and spawn on my squad's rally then to go cross-country and risk dying on the way to them anyway. Sometimes I evaluate that it's definitely in our team's favor for me to trade with an MG if I'm already close to my FOB. Sometimes I just would rather die to see how things are going on the other side of the map. If you nerf spawning, you buff suppression. That's just how it works. I honestly don't think aim-punch or sway is the answer. The current effect is, in my opinion, perfect, and one of the most immersive effects in the game. Addressing the lack of suppression by making nearby bullet cracks into RNG-inducers is not treating the root cause of the problem and will cause unnatural-feeling gameplay. If being injured made my life miserable, if bullets killed me better, or if death didn't feel like an option, I would take those loud cracks a lot more seriously - and MG's would see a lot less of me when they are hosing down an area.
What would you like to see in Squad
Vance replied to Font's topic in General DiscussionHere are my top 2. #1. Only Medic revives. I don't think the "everyone can revive" change should go through. Being able to get people on their feet again is really the only thing that makes it fun to play a Medic ("Can I get to him? Will he die before I get to him? Who is most important to revive?") Having everyone just get the guy next to them up (even after being shot with a .50 cal seconds ago) will not, in my opinion, make the game any more fun for newcomers or vets - penalty time or no - and will make Medic a real chore to play as you are basically just a heal dispenser. #2. Weapon sway when injured. Your weapon should sway if you're injured - in proportion to the degree you are injured, whether you are bleeding out or not. Shooting someone in the chest from a window half a mile away, watching the guy take cover, then getting a laser-accurate bullet to the head from the same guy a moment later, should not be something that can easily happen. I understand why the devs don't want one-shots to be common (even if I think higher calibers should drop you with a chest shot) but as it stands if your bullets didn't incap, you basically did nothing to him except make him write "bandage when poss." in his day planner.
H.A.R.M. applicants were PM'ed today - check your inboxes and follow the instructions. Guide updated with minor fixes.
Applications for Squad 1 are closed - chosen applicants were PM'ed today. Applications for Squad 2 are still open until max playerbase of 18 members is reached.
First submissions are in, I'll be waiting to review them until I have more PM's from people wanting to join.
I understand your point - the original version of the guide was longer and went into more depth on the subject - edited for brevity and clarity. I do stand by the opinion that new SL's should definitely stick with the base of fire. SL's in the flanking element are committed to the fight and it's highly unlikely they will be able to withdraw with a squadmate if they need to place or refresh a rally. They are also not in a position to make use of their binoculars to survey the battlefield; i.e. spotting reinforcements entering a town attempting to attack the flanking element. SL's in the flanking element must also divert all their attention to attacking and it's near impossible to multitask - responding to other SL's talking in Command, placing map and unit markers on the contacts called out, and issuing accurate orders to the members of their squad. I trust randoms to be better at the run-and-gun tactics of taking a town than having the patience required to be an effective base of fire (most of us were raised on CoD4 anyway), so I don't feel I need to be there with them unless the squad completely lacks initiative. The flanking element can be stacked if heavy casualties are expected - the base of fire only needs 2-3 rifles, or one Autorifleman/MG, to do its job. Lastly, it is U.S. Army doctrine that Squad Leaders stay with the base of fire.
H.A.R.M. Tactical Squad
Vance posted a topic in Teams & ClansH.A.R.M. is a squad for players that want to take their SQUAD game to the next level. Infantry tactics and close coordination are what this squad is all about. The basic principles this squad is built on are outlined in my Squad Leading guide, Squad Leader 101, but the goal of H.A.R.M. is to further refine and implement real-world infantry tactics and close-knit teamwork until the unit is a well-trained fighting machine. This is an elite unit and slots are limited - the unit is capped at 18 regular players on rotation. THE 3 PILLARS OF H.A.R.M. #1. PATIENCE H.A.R.M. is only for the patient player. The squad's goal is to implement real-world infantry tactics in SQUAD, repeatedly practicing those tactics until they can be carried out consistently and effectively in public matches. Training the fundamentals will take time and repetition, including dedicated practice matches and squad scrims, and players that are impatient to "get on with their game" are not going to like it in H.A.R.M. The first and foremost quality required is patience. #2. TACTICS not FLUFF H.A.R.M. is not a military fluff squad. It is not interested in implementing military practices that do not directly translate to SQUAD's gameplay. H.A.R.M. is about stripped-down and distilled infantry tactics, not a painstaking re-enactment of real-life military ranks, obscure jargon, and impractical infantry doctrines. If it's practiced in H.A.R.M., it's because it actually works in-game. The fundamentals of infantry combat are timeless, and that's what merits the repetition and practice. #3. TEAMWORK H.A.R.M. operates on a small roster to ensure the teamwork is close-knit and well coordinated. The squad will learn to operate as an team - refining tactics, communication, and execution until second-nature. Members are expected to always follow orders - whether from their SL or their fireteam leader. Members must master their role - their understanding of their job as it relates to the squad will enable them to effectively function in their role even without specific direction, eliminating the need for micro-management and greatly reducing unnecessary casualties. H.A.R.M. FUNDAMENTALS - The unit will cap at 18 players, on rotation (two full squads in total). - The squad will always play one private practice game to train tactics & teamwork before queuing for public matches. - The unit will organize 9v9 private scrims to further train and refine these tactics in practice combat situations. - Unique lessons for the day may vary, but the fundamentals will be drilled time and time again until they are second-nature. - Squad members are expected to specialize in one role - limited flexing is allowed depending on player availability. - Members must have enough available playtime to play at least a twice a week - play sessions will last from 2 to 5 hours. - Squad Leaders and Team Leaders must read the Squad Leader 101 guide in full - regular members are highly encouraged to read it also. - Squad members must follow orders promptly and to the best of their ability. - Squad members must have a firm enough understanding of their role to be able to carry it out without being told what to do. - Squad members are expected to memorize and use gameplay-relevant callouts, and use them consistently. - Squads will be divided into two Fireteams, each with their dedicated Fireteam Leader. - Team Leaders are expected to put in extra time and effort into learning their role and functioning as leaders for the unit. - Basic unit formations will be implemented - Column, Line, and File - as well as the Traveling Overwatch and Bounding Overwatch doctrines. - Members are encouraged to do their own learning on the subject of infantry tactics and the use of their weapon. - This is a commitment-based squad, not a performance-based squad - if you are committed to improving, we will train you until your performance is up to par. - H.A.R.M. is a positive environment to enjoy SQUAD. Negativity and toxicity, especially racism or verbal abuse, will result in an immediate kick from the unit. - Timezone is "Global" until a play schedule can be worked out. The hours you are able to consecutively play is more important than what time of day you can play. APPLYING FOR H.A.R.M. Please send me a PM if you want to join (the subject line should be "HARM Application from <Steam Name>, and include the following: #1. Why you want to join H.A.R.M. #2. Your timezone and playtime availability #3. Your top two desired roles in the squad (one may be taken) #4. Confirmation of your commitment to practice until you have mastered your role in H.A.R.M. (Applications for positions are currently: OPEN) **If you are accepted, you will receive a reply PM - change your in-game clan tag to [H.A.R.M.] ***Positions are extremely limited, don't take it personally if you don't receive a reply ROLE AVAILABILITY SQUAD 1 Squad 1 Leader (Vance) Alpha Team Leader / Rifleman Medic Machine Gunner Grenadier Bravo Team Leader / Rifleman Medic Autorifleman LAT/HAT SQUAD 2 Squad 2 Leader Alpha Team Leader (Rifleman) Medic Machine Gunner Grenadier Bravo Team Leader (Rifleman) Medic Autorifleman LAT/HAT

Título: Multimodal Optimization As A Clustering Task: General Formulation And Application In The Context Of Particle Swarm
Autores: Prampero, Paulo S.; Boccato, Levy; Attux, Romis
Resumo: In this paper, we propose a formulation of the optimization problem as a clustering task, which has the potential of allowing an interchange between approaches belonging to both fields of research and may also allow a straightforward treatment of multimodal scenarios. The proposal is tested using the classical k-means algorithm and a particle swarm algorithm as an accessory tool, and the results indicate the relevance of the clustering-based formulation in terms of search space exploration capability.

SNN:- With an aim to provide support, encouragement, guide and a shoulder to lean onto, HEART Foundation, NGO from Navi Mumbai (which runs STREE as well) has launched a 'Support Group for Care Givers' of dependent individuals.
"Caregivers have been a neglected lot, often being challenged to find time to tend to their own needs, resulting in an alarming decline in their physical and mental health. The fact is that caregivers need to be taken care of too and supported to see through the trying times that they find themselves in," says Dr. Jayakar Ellis, Founder President, HEART.
"HEART Foundation has been working in the field of health since its inception in July 2013. During its work it was observed that though health care facilities have improved in cities, the unknown plight of the caregivers, remains all the more hidden. Nothing is said or being done about people who tend to their ailing ones on a day to day basis," he added.
The Scenario
In India, caregiving is essentially a job for women since beginning, owing to their exclusive presence at home and the ability to juggle multiple tasks while at it. So, apart from the daily household chores, which tend to overwork them, they get overburdened by an additional responsibility of taking care of an ailing dependent family member. While, all of them carry out their responsibilities well, the pressure tends to take a toll on their own needs as they start ignoring or hardly find time to think about their own physical and mental needs. In some cases the growing financial crunch adds up to the pressure exerted. This burdening of individuals who already have a lot on their plates, is overwhelming. The scope of their social interaction gets limited within four walls leaving no room for hobbies, dreams and aspirations.
A Startling fact
"It is startling to know that in most of the cases, caregivers too, end up under some physical or mental ailment for the stress they go through. The lack of support tends to push them into a different level of depression that has deteriorating effects on them, exposing them to the same fate as that of the ailing ones. They get sick while caring for the sick!," said Dr. Shirish Patil (MD), one of the facilitators of the Group.
Heart Foundation: Caring for the Caregivers
In Navi Mumbai, caregivers consist of both people from the low economic groups and high economic groups. While people from the high economic groups have the option to hire help to look after their physically dependent relatives, people from the lower class have to bear the brunt resource crunches that include finances too, as many of them also have to work to keep the family running. Additional expenses and the physical and mental drain add to their woes pushing them towards disaster.
Aim and Objectives
"Through this Group, we would strive to connect caregivers and others too into forming support groups that can share experiences, interact openly, learn from each other and support each other in every possible manner," said Mrs. Uma Vaidyanathan, Coordinator and senior volunteer of HEART.
Through this initiative HEART Foundation aims to provide a platform to :
- Exchange practical information on care giving problems and possible solutions
- Talk through challenges and ways of coping
- Share feelings, needs and concerns
- Learn about resources available in the community
- Learn ways of coping with the stresses and strains of being a caregiver
"The support group will benefit the family caregivers who can learn from each other and also from the resource persons. This can help to perform their role in a better way and to lead healthier lives," said Ms. Suvarna Suryavanshi, psychologist and another facilitator.
The Group is open for all caregivers and the get together will be held every Saturday from 5 pm to 7 pm at HEART Foundation's office at office no. 2, Jyoti Apartments, Sector 20, plot no 17 G, Belapurgaon, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai.
Various fun filled activities will be held along with sessions on Yoga by Mrs. Sharmishtha Ambre, a well known yoga exponent, talks by Dr. Pujari and session by Ms. Suryavanshi.
Registration is free but mandatory. Pls call : 8080007777/ 97680404043 and email to firstname.lastname@example.com
