Wheel in Space
Today was the first day of the big annual book sale in town. Every year I go and look for a few things, and some years I find interesting things, some years I don't. As you have seen in previous posts, I've been starting to collect the old Dr. Who target novelizations. I had heard that one of the most rare, expensive and hard to get titles in that series is The Wheel in Space. I had a strange hunch, really not based on anything, that I would find that at the sale today, and that's exactly what happened - all by itself, between the Mech Warrior and X-Files books - just waiting for me, and I didn't let it down.

I dragged myself out the door and onto the bus. When I got to school, I went to homeroom and then I had Social Studies :(. After that I had Math >:(. After that I had Art >>>>:(((((((. I hate Tuesdays. Then I had lunch-some chili. For 4th period I had English, where we learned some more about persuasive writing. I had Chinese after that, where we learned about writing some new characters. For my last period before I went home, I had Science, where we studied the Doppler Effect some more. Then I went outside, but...my bus was not there. All of the other members of Bus 33 just stood there in the wet snow, their eyes sweeping over the row of buses. Then 2 of the bus drivers volunteered to each carry 1/2 of Bus 33. I got driven to the bottom of my neighbourhood, and all of the others got picked up by someone, but none of them lived on my street, so I had to walk home in the cold. Then when I got home, my mom was making cookies and caramel, and they'd gotten the tree while I was at school! :). Then I had some snack, and I walked out to the family room where I am now currently typing this

Explore the world's cities by bike, right from your couch
Cyclodeo enables map-synchronized biking videos from cities around the globe, allowing people to explore new places on two wheels, without leaving the house
This morning, I cycled across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, and then through the streets of Paris, followed by a brief spin through downtown Tokyo. Sort of.
If you want to experience what it's like to bike in another city, get inspiration to bike more, go on a virtual bike ride, or you just have a voyeuristic pedaling fetish, this Dutch startup offers a way to get your fix right from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.Cyclodeo offers something akin to a Google Street View experience, except that it features crowdsourced biking videos, matched with an interactive map of the route being ridden in the videos, which allows users to both follow along on the map during the ride, as well as to skip the video directly to a specific place on the map with a single click.
The concept is quite simple, and to use Cyclodeo, just pick one of the 30-some cities on the site that you'd like to bike through, and then choose one of the routes already uploaded to the site. Then press play on the video, and as you progress (virtually) through the city, the marker on the companion map moves along with you, allowing you to see exactly where on the map you are. And if you'd like to jump to a specific location on the route, just move the green marker on the map, which syncs the video track to that point, so you can essentially begin a route anywhere along it.
Cyclodeo currently has a number of routes in about 30 major cities around the world, including Berlin, New York City, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris, and San Francisco, with other cities currently in the works. According to the founder, Samir Bendida, Cyclodeo is currently releasing "more than a thousand kilometers of videos," and if you'd like to see your city on the site, the team is accepting requests via an "Unlock Your City" contact form on the website.

I'm standing in a bleached out studio with a hospital gurney in the corner, dressed in a Guantanamo style orange boiler suit. Right in front of me is Charlie Brooker barking interrogation at me whilst 2 cameras capture it all for posterity. How did I get here? What on earth am I doing? Questions that spark through my fear filled synapses as I hope this is all some kind of Kafkaesque nightmare and any minute I will awake from uneasy dream. But I don't, it's real, it's happening and I know why I am here. I'm here because I wanted to be afraid, to be challenged - to have that sweet and sour nervosa feeling in my stomach and step out of my comfort zone.
I wanted to shake myself up in a bid not to be complacent, to not settle into comfortable shoes. One of my mentors told me that if you don't feel a bit afraid in what you do everyday, you're doing something wrong. I'm a control freak and I had no control, it made me feel alive.
Why am I telling you this? Because it's important to embrace the fear of doing something different, it's how we evolve and change, it's integral to innovation. Fear often arises out of change and we're having to change a lot recently, so I would expect and understand as we go through those changes for people to fear doing things differently or fearing some of the unknown consequences of our actions, this is an essential part of change. The key is recognising it and embracing it. Using it to keep pushing and challenging the conventional norm.
It is an essential component to learning as adults, when we are children we are not afraid to try and fail. This is the essence of how we learn so much in a short period, trial, error, modify and it is only as we age we are taught to fear getting it wrong which inhibits our ability to evolve, change or innovate.
I say all of this because I know we're all having to throw ourselves into the deep-end of new things and start swimming quite rapidly, it's scary at times and there are elements that are unknown for all, we have to learn together how we overcome those obstacles and help each other out when we each individually feel the unease of trying out new practices.
All the recent education debates have centred on intelligence and "brightness" IQ alone is not going to be enough, this is where Michael Gove is wrong in his traditional view of education. We need to look at EI (Emotional Intelligence) and AQ (adversity quotient which indicates how agile and acceptable you are to change). I see this as a core component to our long term development as an agile society. I think about the application of this in my own workplace and for those we create learning media for.
This is not a one off event though, I see change as a constant and important element in an agile workplace and will want to see us explore this through the many ways we work and communicate. The key is that everybody is involved in that process, that everybody contributes and that everybody embraces the fear together. We're on a mountain climbing expedition and we have to climb up and over some overhangs and help others across ravines, but the view at the top as a shared experience is something to behold.
Back in that studio I was suddenly asked "what scares you the most?" and in the pressure cooker of the moment I had no time to reflect, analyse or debate my answer, I had to be honest with unhindered clarity - "Michael Gove, he looks like Pob"
The interview should be appearing at some point in Charlie Brooker's new series "How TV Ruined My Life"

Why organising my 8-year-old's birthday party is keeping me awake at night
By Dilvin Yasa|
As she organises her daughter's birthday, Dilvin Yasa can't help ponder (and panic) about guest list etiquette.
When I was a child, every birthday party I had was rolled out in the backyard. The White Wings cake obscured by a thick cloud of my mother's cigarette smoke. The menu items were suspect (bowls of lollies, plates of cupcakes and endless litres of soft drink).
The decor even worse (a few balloons and my pet dingo eating a lone streamer in the corner), and the guest list was basically whichever kid lived within roller-skating distance of our cul-de-sac. In print, it sounds depressing, but I loved these parties and what's more, I remember my mother skipping around, looking happy and relaxed.
Fast-forward 30 years, I'm beginning preparations for my eldest daughter Cella's 8th birthday and I'm about as far away from that happy-go-lucky image of my mother as you can get.
In the past week, I've basically become one big ball of anxiety – unable to sleep at night, and sweating like a drug mule at an airport throughout the day. It's not the location or 'theme' that's bothering me – Cella is still far too young to be caught up in the details (although, we've been to our fair share of pamper & paparazzi parties lately so this may soon all be about to change).
It's the compilation of the guest list that has got me feeling sick to my stomach, because I know from experience that once the invitations go out, things begin to get combative in the play ground.
My first experience of party politics happened a few years ago when I inadvertently upset one of the other mothers at Cella's childcare and the mother retaliated by inviting every single child in the pre-schoolers room to her daughter's birthday party – every child that is, with the exception of Cella. After one hour of consoling my daughter (and trying to come up with a logical excuse as to why hers was the only pigeon-hole that didn't contain a pretty, glitter-covered envelope), I ran into the mother in the lift who smirked at me like a post-trial O.J Simpson, but the smile soon died on her face after Cella tearfully asked her what she had done wrong. We got an invitation soon after, but I refused point black to take Cella, and I never spoke to the mother again.
Initially I thought that this incident was a crazy one-off, but then Cella started school and I found out things were about to get much worse. "Why didn't you invite my son to your daughter's party?" One mother rang me up late one evening after I sent Cella's 6th birthday invitations out. "I happen to know they play together at school so I want you to know that when Ethan* has his party, Cella won't be getting an invitation to that either!" I had only invited girls from Cella's class so I was shocked. "Why would you even want an invitation?" I wanted to ask. "Wouldn't you rather have your Saturday to yourself rather than schlep to an indoor play centre at the crack of dawn?" I didn't get to ask anything, because she quickly hung up on me after her rant.
Last year, I made Cella keep quiet about her Luna Park party. "You are not to tell ANYONE about it" I told her after inviting only a handful of her closest friends. "Just imagine it's like Fight Club. What's rule number one of Fight Club? You DO NOT talk about Fight Club, ammiright?" Cella of course, not having any clue as to what Fight Club is, could only stare at me blankly. And all would have been well - had her teacher not made her stand up in front of whole class the following day and tell her classmates about what she's doing for her birthday on the weekend. "I'm having a party at Luna Park but mummy says I'm not allowed to talk about it," she managed before she broke down in tears and I was called to the school. More irate phone calls from parents followed.
I didn't understand. When prices for kids parties start from $25 per person, surely I wasn't the only parent capping guest lists and then paying the price? I called around all the parents still talking to me and the results that came in read a little like this: of the few parents who still invite the entire class (25 students), they insist on parties in the park with home cooking to keep costs down. Of those who hire a venue, some choose to have theirs out of town so that it will cut down the guest list 'organically'. One mother hires a swish hotel room and invites two of her daughter's best friends for an overnight pamper session ("Expensive, but much cheaper than 20 kids at some adventureland," she tells me). One mother revises her guest list each year, purely based on which parties her child has been invited to, another does it based on gifts received the previous year, while a few throw covert operations and threaten the bejesus out of their children if they breathe a word about it to anyone. The parents might live with constant guest list anxiety, but our children simply live in fear.
This year, I've resolved to get Cella to compile her own guest list by asking herself who are the top ten friends she plays with all the time. Admittedly my resolve gets shaky when she receives an invitation from a child I've never heard of before and I start panicking whether Wedding Etiquette Rules still apply in this instance (my mother: "But their great-aunt invited us to their wedding in 1986 so you will have to invite their offspring forevermore to everything until you all die."), but with the party a few weeks' out, I'm standing firm.
I just figure if anyone's got a problem with it, they can take it up with The Kid. And this time, I'll know to turn my phone off for a good month afterwards as insurance.

Tens of thousands of school children across the Chicago area may not be vaccinated for a variety of serious diseases, posing a potential health risk to their immunized classmates, NBC 5 Investigates has found.
What's more, hundreds of public and private schools in Chicago and suburbs have high levels of students with no records of vaccinations - sometimes more than a third of the students in a single school. And hundreds of other schools have not reported any vaccination information to the state in years - even though it's required, annually, by law.
Any parent with a school-aged child knows the drill -- submit proof at the beginning of the school year that your child is up-to-date on immunizations, or risk a stern letter or repeated phone calls from the school until you finally submit the records.
At least that's the way it's supposed to work. Illinois school children are required to be vaccinated for a variety of dangerous diseases ranging from measles and mumps to diphtheria, pertussis, and chicken pox. Although some national organizations continue to insist that immunizations can be harmful, the science is settled: Vaccines are considered safe, and - as a rule - about 90 to 95 percent effective.
But it's that slight chance of ineffectiveness that can put immunized students at risk if they're sitting in classrooms with children who are unprotected from disease. Recent outbreaks of measles in New York and Los Angeles - along with a 2012 outbreak of whooping cough in the Chicago suburbs - prove that no one is completely safe from these diseases. So -- by law -- a school can refuse to admit any student whose immunization records are not on file. Those parents who insist on not vaccinating their children must provide a valid and approved letter of exemption, explaining why they can't get immunizations - for either medical or religious reasons.
Everyone else needs to get up-to-date on their shots.
But NBC 5 Investigates found 369 public and private schools across the Chicago area where more than 10 percent - and as many as 76 percent -- of students are not vaccinated for one or more serious illnesses. That's more than one in 10 local schools where the rate of unprotected kids exceeds state and national maximum standards.
An additional 638 local schools didn't submit their most recent information to the state - an apparent violation of state law. And most of those schools - 538 total - have not submitted the required information for the past five years in a row. That's more than one in every seven Chicago-area public and private school where parents are supposed to be able to get information about immunization rates, but can't - because the school doesn't follow the law in supplying the numbers.
But NBC 5 also found that there's little - if any - enforcement on the state or local level, either for those schools reporting high rates of non-immunized kids -- or for those schools that don't bother to report at all.
"We mostly try to work with them to get them in compliance," said Mary Fergus, spokesman for the Illinois State Board of Education. She pointed out that on the district level, ninety-seven percent of Illinois' public school districts are officially in compliance - meaning they report fewer than 10 percent non-immunized students district-wide. Fergus said it's up to each district to make sure its individual schools are complying.
But for those schools that don't comply, the Illinois School Code states that the ISBE can temporarily withhold funding from any public school district with more than 10 percent of non-immunized kids, until the school gets in compliance. However, Fergus admits that's never been done.
There appears to be even less oversight for Illinois' private schools - even though they're subject to the same rules as public schools in keeping non-immunized children to less than 10 percent.
That's what Debra Benson found when she took over six months ago as superintendent of Park View Christian Academy in Yorkville. State records show that more than three-quarters of Park View's students did not submit immunization records for the 2012-2013 school year - the second year in a row that the school's immunization rates did not meet state and local standards.
Benson said there was little emphasis on vaccination compliance when she took over at Park View, and that she has spent a lot of time getting parents to understand the importance of these shots - and the need to submit records.
"I don't really know who has an exemption and who doesn't - who's immunized and who isn't," she said. "And [if] someone comes to school with meningitis tomorrow or some other disease, how can I protect anybody? Because I don't know for sure."
Even as Benson tried to follow up, it doesn't appear that the state does the same. The ISBE's Fergus admits no one on the state level checks - beyond the yearly reports - to see if the non-immunized students eventually got their shots, submitted proof of immunizations, and possibly lowered their school's rate of non-vaccinated children. She suggested that parents should contact a school directly for that information.
You can search for your school's information on our database, or go to the Illinois State Board of Education's web site for data analysis and accountability, and look at the Immunization School Survey Results for each year.

BMW to recall 1.6 million cars on concerns over Takata air bags – Reuters
DETROIT (Reuters) – German automaker BMW said on Wednesday it is recalling about 1.6 million cars worldwide to replace passenger-side front air bags made by Takata Corp 7312.T because the inflators could break apart during deployment and injure passengers.
The recall affects 3 Series vehicles produced between May 1999 and August 2006.
While BMW is still taking part in a regional recall requested by U.S. safety regulators, BMW spokesman Dave Buchko said it decided to recall all of the model year 2000 through 2006 cars potentially affected by the issue. The regional recall requested in June by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covered both passenger- and driver-side front air bags.
The recall is an extension of last year's recall of 240,000 cars globally for the same issue. However, it overlaps with the regional recall.
"As a precaution, we just feel now that the right thing to do is just to bring them all in and replace the passenger-side air bag," Buchko said.
The air bags were supplied by Japan's Takata, which has seen more than 12 million vehicles recalled over the past five years for related issues.
Also affected by the regional recall were Honda Motor Co, Toyota Motor Corp, Nissan Motor Co, Mazda Motor Corp, Fuji Heavy Industries-owned Subaru, Mitsubishi Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Chrysler brand.
Subaru's recall of almost 9,000 cars was national from the start, while Honda's regional recall hit more states than NHTSA requested. Honda said there was no change to its position and its investigation was ongoing.
Nissan said a decision for a broader recall has not been made yet and the number of cars affected in the designated regions was still being determined. Mitsubishi said there was no change in status as the issue was still being investigated.
Mazda said it would decide whether to expand the regional campaign after its engineers evaluated the air bag inflators already recalled. A Toyota spokeswoman said the company has not expanded the recall.
A Chrysler spokesman said the automaker is still investigating the issue, which potentially affects about 298,000 older vehicles in the four regions NHTSA designated.
Ford said its position has not changed and it is cooperating with safety officials. It previously said the regional recall affected 58,669 vehicles.
NHTSA did not have an immediate comment.
BMW is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. The cars previously recalled are not part of this campaign.
In the latest recall, about 574,000 of the cars were sold in the United States, 450,000 in Germany and 189,000 in the United Kingdom. Last year, BMW recalled 42,000 cars in the United States for this issue.
In addition, BMW said it has also recalled 26 Mini cars and one BMW i3 from model year 2014 to replace Takata passenger-side air bags. These are not part of the larger recall.

essential readings flow over the sky
in scattered light feathers of transparency,
souls of angels dancing in abstract patterns of joy,
leaving behind the dull grey led of stormy clouds.
take the sun for a heart
to fill you with the rhythm of light,
overflowing the limits of your human syncope
and the chasms of your mind.
I am there, dissolving in the blue,
setting and rising, silent ray following the sempiternal shine,
eroding heart growing again to be human
remembering that I was once meant to be born free.

and of death holding me tight
dancing madly in a waltz

it gently caresses my ankles

roaring like an angry monster

embracing my being
in a moment where it belongs to nobody, but is all mine.

The statement below was issued today at a protest in Beirut outside the Palestinian embassy. It follows an interview Mahmoud Abbas gave to Israeli television where he said he has no right to live on the land he was displaced from inside Israel. This was understood by many as a rejection of the Palestinian right of return. The protest is yet another sign of the crumbling edifice of the Oslo Accords and the centrality of the right of return to Palestinians and Palestinian political discourse.
Palestinian Youth Statement from Lebanon
In his latest statement, Mahmoud Abbas, the term-expired president of the Palestinian Authority (PA), reiterated the PA's commitment to the futile negotiations process and compromised Palestinian historical rights, foremost among them the Right of Return (RoR).

Abbas' recognition of the Zionist entity is a blatant violation of our right to Palestine, undivided, and our right to return to it. Such statements are an insult to the sacrifices of our martyrs and the struggle of our people. Furthermore, his characterization of armed struggle as terrorism flagrantly undermines our right to practice to all forms of resistance, particularly under occupation, which is a right enshrined in international law.
We confirm our commitment to the original spirit of the Palestinian National Charter, and we reiterate that our people's sacrifices of martyrdom and struggle should be solely invested toward the goal of liberating all of Palestine.
We are here today to demand the revocation of the Oslo Accords; the abandonment of the negotiations discourse; and the dissolution of the Palestinian authorities, which have burdened our people with internal divisions along political factions and political arrests.
We are here today to reassert our reclamation of all of historic Palestine, and to reiterate that we are the daughters and sons of this land.
We demand that the leadership of the PLO:
1. Hold Mahmoud Abbas accountable for his statements that are detrimental to the national spirit among Palestinian people worldwide;
2. Pressure Abbas to issue a public apology to all Palestinians, and Palestinian refugees in particular;
3. Reaffirm the Right of Return;
4. Immediately halt all processes of security coordination with the Zionist entity and cut off all channels of political, security and media cooperation;
5. Immediately release all Palestinian political prisoners and activists currently held in the prisons of both Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and Gaza;
6. Seek unity and take meaningful steps towards ending the Palestinian political division;
7. Immediately set in motion a process for electing a new Palestinian National Council involving all Palestinians worldwide;
8. Revive and reactivate the PLO, constructing a Palestinian National strategy that upholds the original spirit of the Palestinian Charter and guides the struggle of all Palestinian political groups;
9. Hold accountable any party that compromises historically enshrined Palestinian rights, creating internal divisions.
Together on the path of victory, return and self determination

Howden Engineering Office Block - 8 and 14 Scotland Street:
Sited on Scotland Street these former Engineering company offices are both blond sandstone ashlar buildings, with the lower two storey building to the west of the site originating in the 1860s, and the taller two storey building to the east dating from a slightly later time in the early 1870s. Both buildings were originally part of the Howden Engineering works, the main body of which was sited on the other side of Scotland Street to the west filling the site adjacent to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed Scotland Street school. These other buildings till largely survive, although they are not in use having also fallen into a derelict state and prey to vandalism and numerous malicious fires
The pair of buildings featured on this page are linked and currently lie derelict having had numerous tenants since Howden's, most recently a garage occupied the west building. The lower building to the west has eleven bays to Scotland Street on the first floor with arched windows. The ground floor is made up of seven bays, then a large drive-in doorway occupies the next two bays, then the final two bays revert to windows. The taller east building is four bays to the south onto Scotland Street, then the east elevation has six bays facing onto Paterson Street with all windows on each floor with arched tops. The rear of the buildings are windowless and faced with red brick. Both buildings are derelict and category B listed.

Compositional zoning of the bishop tuff
Journal of Petrology
By: W. Hildreth and C.J.N. Wilson

Compositional data for >400 pumice clasts, organized according to eruptive sequence, crystal content, and texture, provide new perspectives on eruption and pre-eruptive evolution of the >4600 km3 of zoned rhyolitic magma ejected as the BishopTuff during formation of Long Valley caldera. Proportions and compositions of different pumice types are given for each ignimbrite package and for the intercalated plinian pumice-fall layers that erupted synchronously. Although withdrawal of the zoned magma was less systematic than previously realized, the overall sequence displays trends toward greater proportions of less evolved pumice, more crystals (0-5 24 wt %), and higher FeTi-oxide temperatures (714-818??C). No significant hiatus took place during the 6 day eruption of the BishopTuff, nearly all of which issued from an integrated, zoned, unitary reservoir. Shortly before eruption, however, the zoned melt-dominant portion of the chamber was invaded by batches of disparate lower-silica rhyolite magma, poorer in crystals than most of the resident magma but slightly hotter and richer in Ba, Sr, andTi. Interaction with resident magma at the deepest levels tapped promoted growth ofTi-rich rims on quartz, Ba-rich rims on sanidine, and entrapment of near-rim melt inclusions relatively enriched in Ba and CO2.Varied amounts of mingling, even in higher parts of the chamber, led to the dark gray and swirly crystal-poor pumices sparsely present in all ashflow packages. As shown by FeTi-oxide geothermometry, the zoned rhyolitic chamber was hottest where crystal-richest, rendering any model of solidification fronts at the walls or roof unlikely.The main compositional gradient (75-195 ppm Rb; 0.8-2.2 ppm Ta; 71-154 ppm Zr; 0.40-1.73% FeO*) existed in the melt, prior to crystallization of the phenocryst suite observed, which included zircon as much as 100 kyr older than the eruption.The compositions of crystals, though themselves largely unzoned, generally reflect magma temperature and the bulk compositional gradient, implying both that few crystals settled or were transported far and that the observed crystals contributed little to establishing that gradient. Upward increases in aqueous gas and dissolved water, combined with the adiabatic gradient (for the 5 km depth range tapped) and the roofward decline in liquidus temperature of the zoned melt, prevented significant crystallization against the roof, consistent with dominance of crystal-poor magma early in the eruption and lack of any roof-rind fragments among the Bishop ejecta, before or after onset of caldera collapse. A model of secular incremental zoning is advanced wherein numerous batches of crystal-poor melt were released from a mush zone (many kilometers thick) that floored the accumulating rhyolitic melt-rich body. Each batch rose to its own appropriate level in the melt-buoyancy gradient, which was selfsustaining against wholesale convective re-homogenization, while the thick mush zone below buffered it against disruption by the deeper (non-rhyolitic) recharge that augmented the mush zone and thermally sustained the whole magma chamber. Crystal-melt fractionation was the dominant zoning process, but it took place not principally in the shallow melt-rich body but mostly in the pluton-scale mush zone before and during batchwise melt extraction. ??

The following was taken from this weeks EVE University public mailing list which you join in game by signing up to ?Classes.E-UNI?.
The primary purpose of EVE University is to teach new (and old) players about the basics of life in EVE and various aspects of game play. To that end they hold regular classes, both theoretical and practical, in order to accomplish this goal. You can find more information on how to join their classes on their website. If you are unable to attend a live class due to time zone differences, you will also be able to find transcripts of their classes as well.
Please note that most of their classes are public! You do not need to be a member of EVE University to join!
This is a preliminary overview of University classes scheduled for the week of Monday, 19 September. All dates are subject to change at the discretion of the lecturer and/or teaching staff. All times are specified in EVE time. All classes are open to the public unless specified otherwise.
Tuesday, 20 September

Paddling unifies and heals us. Adaptive Paddling classifications include amputation and other limb impairments, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, spinal cord injuries, and more. Organizations like Dynamic Paddlers sprang out of the desire of a man with a below elbow amputation to be active on the water. Paddling programs like Team River Runner and River House focus on giving back to veterans. After years of the damaging affects of service, these veterans experience the healing peace of our beautiful state's waters. Out in nature, exerting themselves on the water, we, the diverse community, become one and become better selves.

Who hasn't wanted to pilot a spaceship? I might have asked this question before, but I'm still waiting for the imagination-free twat I know is waiting out there with some fun-busting negative answer. Until he or she (let's face it: he) responds to me, I will blithely assume NO ONE. There's NO ONE who wouldn't want to pilot an intergalactic vessel with warp speed and phaser guns and sexy alien ladies and sweating. WarpSpeed is a game that has some of those things, sort of.
As you can see from the action-packed screenshot, this game is a little light on the graphics. You can see into the void and aim at the nothing through your reticule, blasting away merrily at whatever should venture into your sights. I found it difficult to aim at anything, let alone hit it, but keep in mind I'm a spastic manchild who blathers about SNES games until my eyes hurt and I yearn for the sweet pillowy embrace of Lady Death.
Navigation across the vastness of space is done by consulting a Battleship-esque (yes, I just wrote that) map that shows you the position of your enemies. Driving around trying to find them is so much fun I wrote a sarcastic sentence about it.
There are several different missions or modes or SOMETHING but I'm not really sure since every one I played involved me drifting around in space, occasionally shooting and missing enemy ships who would challenge me to a combat that I thought we were already having.
Sure, WarpSpeed lets you pilot a spaceship, but you don't feel like a competent pilot in a good spaceship. You feel like a loser. A space loser.

Using the ABV calculator by The Hop Shop finding the alcohol content of your homebrew is easy! Simply enter the Original Gravity and Final Gravity using the Specific Gravity Scale into the fields below.
How ABV is calculated
The alcohol content of your brew is determined by measuring your original gravity prior to fermentation, then your final gravity after fermentation has been completed. You can simply use these two numbers to calculate the ABV unless you add other fermentables after you take your original gravity reading. including fruit or additional sugars. These have to be accounted for on their own. This formula works due to the fact that alcohol is less dense than water. therefore, as your wort ferments (and the sugars are converted to alcohol), the density of the beer decreases.
Using our ABV calculator all you have to do is input your Gravity readings and watch as it calculates your ABV!
To calculate alcohol content manually you can use this formula : ABV = (OG – FG) * 131.25
ABV = alcohol by volume, OG = original gravity, and FG = final gravity. So, using this formula with a beer having an OG of 1.059 and a FG of 1.005, your ABV would be 7.09%.
