Legislature to block Christie's addiction services reorganization
TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie's plan to reorganize how the state oversees opioid treatment efforts is apparently going to be blocked by the Legislature.
The Assembly voted last week to block the reorganization, which would transfer the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Health. Now a key senator says the Senate will do the same before an Aug. 28 deadline.
Sen. Joseph Vitale, D-Middlesex, who chairs the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee, said he has concerns about the change because it would separate services from related efforts such as Medicaid and programs for people with developmental disabilities.
"It would be very difficult, and it would cause some structural issues and provider issues. And they've all raised concerns about this reorganization plan," Vitale said.
"And in addition, there was never a strategic plan developed or submitted to the Legislature," he said.
Vitale's committee and the Assembly Human Services Committee held a hearing about the proposal last month. The Assembly then voted to reject the reorganization on July 31, a 42-25 vote that was nearly entirely along party lines.
There had been no word whether the Senate would go along, until Vitale announced Wednesday that Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, had agreed to schedule a voting session to take up legislation to block the move.
Also on Vitale's move is the timing. He said the changes wouldn't start to become operational until early winter, when Christie's term ends and he and his Cabinet leave office. Vitale said reshuffling of state operations have taken up to two years to work through in the past.
"It's literally thousands of employees, and it takes time to think about how to do this – not just why, but how to do it, how to implement it," Vitale said.
"With an election coming up in November and a new governor and a transition team being in place, shortly thereafter, I think this is an issue that should be left for them," he said.
A date for the voting session has not yet been determined, Vitale said.
Summer voting sessions are rare, especially in election years, so it can be challenging to find a date on short notice when enough senators are available and not on vacation or working – especially for a vote that might not get bipartisan support.

New Sponsorship Pairs Aflac and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to Help Defeat Childhood Cancer
New Sponsorship Pairs Aflac and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to Help Defeat Childhood Cancer
NEWSROOM: Aflac Incorporated
CAMPAIGN: Duckprints in the Community
CONTENT: Press Release
COLUMBUS, Ga. – March 8, 2018 /3BL Media/– Aflac, the leader in voluntary insurance sales at the worksite in the United States and a committed corporate ally for families facing childhood cancer, today announced an agreement with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals® (CMN Hospitals) to sponsor several key CMN Hospitals events throughout the year, including the second annual #ChildrensHospitalsWeek, which is this week. Aflac will also sponsor the CMN Dance Marathon Leadership Conference in July and five select Miracle Network Dance Marathon events held at universities across the country. The Georgia-based insurance company, with its Aflac Childhood Cancer Campaign, has a long-standing commitment to children and families facing childhood cancer, including its ongoing 22-year relationship with the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, a nationally recognized hospital that treats an average of 400 new child patients every year.
"For more than two decades, Aflac, our employees, and independent sales agents have supported children and families facing pediatric cancer, contributing more than $122 million for the treatment and research of childhood cancer," Aflac Senior Vice President, Chief Brand and Communications Officer Catherine Hernandez-Blades said. "CMN Hospitals is closely aligned with Aflac's goal to help eradicate childhood cancer once and for all. This partnership will go a long way toward presenting a united front against childhood cancer as Aflac and CMN Hospitals combine resources on behalf of children and their families."
#ChildrensHospitalsWeek, held March 5-11, 2018, provides an opportunity to spotlight the importance of local children's hospitals across the country and for hospital leaders, families, corporate partners, and key supporters to strengthen and coordinate efforts to help kids get the best possible care in their time of need. During this year's event, Aflac will introduce to CMN Hospitals its award-winning My Special Aflac Duck, a robotic caring companion designed to help children cope with cancer.
The robotic duck, created on behalf of Aflac by Sproutel, a patient-centered research and development company headquartered in Rhode Island, is designed to help children and parents cope with the treatments often associated with cancer. The duck uses sensors and special emoji cards to interact with children, sharing their emotions, providing comfort through empathy and serving as a special friend to combat the feeling of loneliness that children with cancer often experience. Aflac intends to provide My Special Aflac Duck, winner of three major awards at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, including Best of Show, to all children newly diagnosed with cancer in the United States, free of charge.
Everyone is encouraged to show support for children's hospitals during the weeklong initiative March 5-11 through the following activities:
- Wear a bandage: Show your support for children's hospitals by wearing a bandage of your choice, taking a photo and sharing it on social media with the #ChildrensHospitalsWeek hashtag.
- Join a gathering of charity gamers at Extra Life United from Wednesday, March 7, to Saturday, March 10: Charity gamers from all over the world join together at Extra Life United to learn how to make a big impact on children's hospitals through gaming. Participants attend panels and workshops and game in a tournament to unlock donations for local CMN Hospitals. The event will be broadcast live on Twitch. The Extra Life program has raised more than $40 million for CMN Hospitals since 2008.
"We are grateful for Aflac's sponsorship of #ChildrensHospitalsWeek and their efforts to raise awareness that children's hospitals need donations," said John Lauck, president and CEO of CMN Hospitals. "Aflac's efforts to provide comfort to the thousands of kids newly diagnosed with pediatric cancer each year truly makes a difference at our local hospitals."
CMN has created a national movement with one young generation helping an even younger generation of kids through Miracle Network Dance Marathon programs with more than 300 participating schools across the country. The program is run entirely by students, with all proceeds donated to the CMN Hospital in their community. Each event features an eight- to 40-hour fundraising marathon. This year, Aflac will sponsor five select Miracle Network Dance Marathon events, which will feature an Aflac Power Hour, with funds raised during that hour earmarked specifically for childhood cancer care and treatment at local CMN Hospitals.
Additionally, Aflac will sponsor the Dance Marathon Leadership Conference, an annual event attended by hundreds of college and university students who are leaders in their schools' Dance Marathon programs.

Toronto boys Paul Grace, his brother Tony, and Rob DeBoer became a dance remix production team. They worked with such recording artists as Camille, Kim Stockwood, Ashley MacIsaac, Econoline Crush, Bif Naked and Sky before deciding to put out their own dance album in 1999, under the name The Boomtang Boys, which they presumptuously titled Greatest Hits, Volume One. Singer Kim Esty sang many of the tracks. Half of the songs on the album were dance versions of well-known songs like Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself", Marc Bolan's "Bang a Gong", Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time", and Gershon Kingsley's "Popcorn". Although some might find their making a dance version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" sacrilegious, it was one of our favourite songs of 1999 and was sung beautifully. As we are not including covers in our Top 50, we have to restrict our selections to original songs, and the Boomtang Boys' album had several, the most popular being "Squeeze Toy". However, we liked "I Was a Fool", one of our favourite songs of all-time by a Canadian act.
You never called when you said you would
And you never treated me the way you should
Why did I believe in you
When everything you told me was untrue
I was a fool
To put my faith in you
I trusted you
I was a fool
You were never there when I needed you
And you never talked when I needed to
How could I have failed to see
How you would end up treating me
Song: "I Was a Fool"
Album: Greatest Hits, Volume One

If acid reflux has plagued you, you probably want some answers. The following article will give you some helpful ideas for controlling your acid reflux. Keep reading if you need to get rid of acid reflux for good.
Your dinner should occur three hours or more prior to your bedtime. The upright position will force acids to make their way to your stomach. If you lie down, the acid may migrate up your esophagus. Thus, you need to delay going to bed.
Acid reflux can be exacerbated by the way you eat. Many people eat lots of food very quickly. This habit does much more harm than good. Don't eat excessively. Stop when you are no longer hungry. You need to learn to eat at a conservative pace. Slowly chew and enjoy your food. After you have taken a couple of bites, put down your eating utensil and rest for a minute.
You have a lower chance of getting GERD if you are of average weight. When you're carrying too much fat, the opening located in the lower part of the esophagus will relax. You will need your sphincter to become tight if you want to prevent the acid from coming up; losing weight will help.
To sleep well at night and prevent acid reflux, you may want to place a wedge underneath the mattress in order to keep your head raised. If you do not have a wedge, anything that will lift the head of your bed will work. Also, there are beds that allow you to raise and lower the head of your bed.
Stress serves to exacerbate acid reflux. Excessive amounts of stomach acid is produced when you are stressed, which causes acid reflux. Follow each meal with a period of relaxation. Engage in yoga or some form of meditation that helps you to relax.
Do not lay down right after eating if acid reflux is a problem for you. The digestive tract can have trouble while you are laying down. This upright position can help the flow of liquids in your body.
You should reduce your stress as much as possible. Stress can produce more acid, which will come up through your stomach and cause acid reflux. See what causes your anxiety and get rid of it right away.
Slim down. If you are obese, there is a better chance that you are going to have acid reflux. Belly fat increases pressure on the stomach, almost urging it to reflux. Even shedding just a few pounds can bring a great deal of relief.
Avoid alcohol if you have acid reflux. Alcohol can produce excess stomach acid. If you must drink, limit intake to a single glass. Experiment to find a liquor or wine that does not aggravate your symptoms.
With the information presented here you will surely be able to address your acid reflux problems successfully. Do not allow this condition to keep ruining your life. You want to make your life more enjoyable, so it is time to remove it.

Boost your company's Net Promoter Score
Three best practices for the contact centre
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a key indicator of customer loyalty. These three best practices deliver a customer experience that increases your NPS:
- Use predictive routing to anticipate your customers' needs and direct them to the team member who can best help them.
- Create a connected customer journey with personalised interactions across all channels.
- Finally, don't overlook the power that proactive communication has in building loyalty. Reach out to customers to share information and resolve problems, instead of waiting for them to contact you.
Keep reading for more details on how to begin improving your Net Promoter Score.
Learn more about…
Anticipate your customers' needs
Unlock the data that you already have on all of your customer interactions. Turn it into actionable information that you can use to anticipate customer needs. Predictive routing uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to mine your valuable data. Create the best match for every customer, whether it's self-service informed by use cases and customer data, or a live agent with the ability to create the desired business outcome. With an omnichannel desktop, all of the information that the agent needs to personalise the experience is right in front of them.
Connect customer journeys across all channels
Customer journeys rarely occur on a single channel. They might begin on a website or mobile app, move into social or SMS, and then turn into a phone call when your customer can't get the answer that they need. It's important to provide a consistent customer experience across every channel. Recognise and use previous interactions to personalise the experience. Use a single customer experience platform that integrates your channels and has the flexibility to add new channels as customer preferences change.
Be proactive, personalised and relevant
Sometimes the best customer experiences involve proactively informing customers or solving their problems without them having to contact you. When you send highly personalised, timely and relevant notifications through your customer's preferred channel, you create effortless interactions and improve engagement. Proactive notifications could include order confirmations, fraud alerts, outage notifications, payment confirmations and more.
The key to using proactive and automated communications to build relationships is to make it intuitive. Make it easy for customers to contact you and engage an agent for additional help when needed.
"Vodacom already had the highest NPS across consumer and enterprise, but we didn't want to rest on our laurels. We want to be the world's best for customer experience—so we built NPS into the agent's desktop. After each contact they get a score and adjust their behaviour based on feedback".
David Morrow, Managing Executive for Digital & Customer Experience, Vodacom

Stock Market (5)
December 5, 2015
The analogy of the world's stock markets can perhaps be traced to the city market place, the place all villagers brought their goods to commerce and promote. This quantity is sort of a reference bench mark that's utilized by traders and CA's and cash managers to evaluate the state of health of the monetary market of a country. It's a shock for most investors to learn that stock market value can actually have two totally different meanings relying on the context by which they're used. New funding couldn't be financed via the sale of inventory, as a result of nobody would purchase the brand new inventory. So simply because the federal government sells bonds to boost cash, companies increase cash by selling inventory. Stock Market Quotes give us a fair thought of the feasibility of a selected stock being worthwhile in the future.
Depending on the economic performance of the company and its monetary health in addition to financial and funding state of affairs within the nation, where the inventory change is situated, the shares listed have a sure market worth. The index number of the inventory alternate is a abstract of the market and the financial health of a nation. Many investors grew to become convinced that stocks had been a positive factor and borrowed closely to invest extra money available in the market. Technically talking, this term can be used to confer with the quoted value at which investors are at present capable of purchase or sell a typical inventory or a bond.
In a stock change the stock or shares of companies are listed and will be traded i.e. purchased or offered. When you put money into the stock market, you are hoping that over time, the inventory will turn out to be far more beneficial than the value you paid for it.
He added all the inventory costs after which divided the entire by number of shares listed. There was no cause for the market to develop as quick as it did and each time it does develop too quickly, it turns around to appropriate itself. Also the Index refers back to the heavy weight i.e. stocks which have the greater worth and market capitalization. A firm is rewarded with a rise in inventory worth if its consensus estimates exceeds.
For instance, in case you are trading growth stocks then don't join a penny stock or futures newsletter as this diversification of data may be a reason behind distraction reasonably than serving to you concentrate on relevant information on your buying and selling choices.

I read once that female infps are often considered strong, and male infps are often considered weak. Same qualities, different expectations.
Maybe that'll change as gender roles evolve.
Regardless, we grow up with society's expectations and, quite naturally, embrace them.
They make us feel bad just for being who we are.
Too sensitive.
Easily wounded.
Prone to avoid conflict.
Dreamers. Dabblers. Dilettantes.
Yup. They disdain the very qualities that comprise our particular genius. We are the poets of the Jungian zodiac. We are its lovers. Its romantics. Its peace makers. Its visionaries.
Its saints and shamen.
But if we don't learn how to make our living on the laptop, we're doomed to go out there and slide around in their bullsh_t. And that's too bad...because infps are not designed to work outside the home.
There can't be a more difficult life than that of a working class infp.
I'm almost 60 years old and, I swear, it doesn't get much easier with time.

Arizona, 1866. Fenimore Fillmore, the young (actually, he looks like he's 12 years old) hero of our story, accidently stumbles across the secret of three golden skulls which unlock the way to the treasure of the Toltecs. One of these skulls is already in his possession. Two other ones have yet to be located, but at least he knows who has them.
Using a SCUMM - inspired interface, the player navigates the protagonist through a comic version of the 'Wild West'. Unfortunately, it's a rather badly looking version. Although some pictures do show promise, especially the colouring leaves the player with a very amateurish impression.
Similarly, the animations can't even keep the facade up for ten minutes. Lots of things are moving all the time, even in the background, but already in the intro, the same few gestures of the protagonist can be seen several times. A very limited bloke, apparantely.
Same goes for his strange, annoying way of walking. No, it doesn't look funny. It's just tedious to watch him walk across the screen in the slowest way ever since King's Quest. How many monitors have been destroyed in bursts of rage because of this is unknown. Even the double-click 'feature' which makes the sprite jump to the desired location can't help much, because it only works with exits from the picture (like doors), and not any random spot. Argh!
Yet another aspect of the game's ugliness is the font used during the dialogues. This may seem like total nitpicking now, but I do prefer a font to be easily readable over annumerations of letter bending forward and backwards wildly without any apparant pattern! Again, this is not funny, as it was obviously intended!
Getting over the tacky surface, 3 Skulls does earn points in the puzzle department. Everything's quite easy (as usual in 1996), but still not too obvious, making it suitable for beginners. That's all there is to it, though. For veteran players, it's all quite boring and unspectacular. Bearable for sure, but mostly unfunny (the jokes are exactly what you'd expect from a brainstorming session about Western stereotypes with a 10-year-old) and thin gameplay lost in between pointless dialogue.
3 Skulls isn't a game I could enjoy. That doesn't make it automatically bad, of course. Try it for yourself, most casual players should like it at least a enough to play it till the end. If you can't motivate yourself to do that... what is there to lose?
Technical note: If you install the game to any other directory than C:3SKULLS , you have to edit 3SKULLS.BAT accordingly. This CD-Rip doesn't contain any sound or music.

A much overlooked part of the body to workout is the back. We understand the importance of a top line or back muscles on a horse but what about our back muscles?
When we ride a halt what do we do? We shift our weight back. When we are trying to gain control of a hot horse? We shift our weight back while maintaining rein pressure. How many times do we here our coach say "Shoulders back!"? What keeps our shoulders back? Our back muscles.
Our back muscles play a vital role in all of those scenarios and more!
Just standing straight all day requires back muscles that can take the strain. Or what about Back pain while riding or even just standing? Developing back muscle will help take the pressure off your nerves and give you more strength for your body to rely on.
This exercise is one of my go-to exercises for developing my back muscles and has been one of the keys to improving my posture and control in and out of the saddle.
You can view a Tutorial for it here: Cable Rows
While our core muscles do play a HUGE role in developing a good balanced seat our back muscles should not be overlooked because they balance out our core muscles. A strong core without a strong back will leave you with back pain.
I hope this helps your riding and prevents or helps keep any back pain you may have in check :)

If the administration makes a bad nuclear deal with Iran, Congress should reject it, Josh Block, CEO and President of The Israel Project, wrote in an op-ed for The Miami Herald Tuesday. The Israel Project publishes The Tower.
After noting that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected a number of conditions that would make a deal effective—conditions that President Barack Obama has said would need to be part of an acceptable deal, Block observed that instead of walking out, "the administration seems prepared to cede ground to Iranian intransigence."
Secretary of State John Kerry even indicated that Iran might not have to disclose its past atomic research. The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, has said this information is critical to detecting and understanding future violations. America's red lines on centrifuges, the Iranian military facility at Fordo and Iran's nuclear stockpiles, have been shoved aside as well.
The AP reports that the administration is now seeking to repeal both nuclear and non-nuclear sanctions. All this as Iran continues supporting Bashar Assad, sponsoring global terrorism, committing egregious human-rights abuses against its own people and developing ballistic missiles — and that's not all. As the requirements for a deal have crumbled, Iran has pushed dangerously toward regional hegemony. Through its terrorist proxies, Tehran now controls Arab capitals in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
If the deal that comes out of the ongoing negotiations "makes the United States and our allies demonstrably safer for decades," Block wrote, Congress should support the deal.
If, however, the administration proposes an agreement that rewards Iran for decades of bad behavior, and fails to meet the needed standards, Congress must push back forcefully to protect our national security and global interests, and those of our allies.
Block argued in The Baltimore Sun last week that the "dismantlement" of Iran's nuclear infrastructure must be part of any final nuclear deal with Iran.

The Newsletter of Eric Elder Ministries
The Ranch goes live, a financial update, and "Does God have anything to say about the Internet in the Bible?"
The Ranch Goes Live
You can now watch CNN live on the Internet. And ABC News. And Fox News.
But last month we added another choice to what people can watch on the Internet: "Live from The Ranch," a weekly program designed to encourage people in their faith.
To me, this is the capstone of our Internet ministry. It is one of the most technologically complex features of our site. But it could also have the greatest impact.
I was thrilled to do our first broadcast. Even though it only went to a handful of people, those handful were over a thousand miles away. Using a simple phone line and a computer, they were able to hear a message of faith in Christ.
When I think of how this can multiply to other people with phone lines and computers around the world, it boggles my mind.
My previous web site, The Hall of Faith, drew over 800 hundred people a month from 72 countries simply to read stories of how God works in people's lives. I try to imagine what kind of impact a live broadcast might have.
And the momentum for sharing Christ on the Internet is growing.
Our ministry was highlighted this month in a nationwide magazine called Ministries Today, along with some other ministries who are "taking the gospel to the web." Our work was also discussed in a book called The Online Christian, which has a chapter on Internet evangelism.
Although we're considered pioneers in this technology, we're not alone.
Billy Graham, for instance, will mark another first for his ministry on October 24th when he broadcasts his Florida crusade live on the Internet. In a recent sermon, Mr. Graham said: "It is amazing how technology is being used to hurt the world. But it is also being used to spread the gospel on a scale that has never happened in the history of the Christian church."
The pope, too, just began broadcasting his weekly prayers from the Vatican live on the Internet using the same technology.
Many have wondered if these kinds of events signal the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Whether he comes now or waits longer, it's clear to me that God is using every available means to save as many people as possible before the end comes. For those who don't yet know him, that's great news.
You can watch our live broadcasts at http://www.theranch.org. We broadcast live on Sunday nights at 9pm Central Time. After the broadcast, you can join us in our chat room at The Ranch. The chat room is where we can talk with people in a more personal way, and pray with those who need additional encouragement in their faith.
If you miss the live broadcast, the messages are stored on our web site for viewing around the clock – and around the world.
Financial Update
Some of you have asked how we're doing financially, so here's an update.
Our budget for the ministry this year is $5,300 per month. Since our incorporation in March of this year, we've received commitments from people to cover about 20% of our monthly needs.
Thanks to several one-time gifts, we've been able to make up most of the 80% difference each month.
God has affirmed to me that he will cover the costs of this ministry, but I know that he often does this by moving on the hearts of his people. So I'm glad to share our needs with you. If you're not already committed to this effort in prayer or financially, would you take a few minutes to ask the Lord if he wants you to be involved?
As you can see, we still need both one-time gifts and monthly commitments to operate at 100% of what God has called us to do.
Bringing Faith to Life
Does God have anything to say about the Internet in the Bible? I was surprised to find out he does when I was praying recently about this ministry.
I was reading through the book of Job this month and was up to chapter 8. I was having technical difficulties with parts of my web site, and was eager to get to work on them, not sit still and read Job for a few minutes. But I decided to open the Bible and this is what I read:
"Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web. He leans on his web, but it gives way; he clings to it, but it does not hold." (Job 8:13-15)
That sure sounded like my web site that day! Fragile, giving way, and not holding! God reminded me that my trust is in Him, not in the "web," even though he's called me to an Internet ministry. Some of the problems got fixed that day and some didn't. But I had confidence that God was in control because he spoke to me using words written over 3,000 years ago.
It didn't end there. The next Sunday I was guest-preaching at a local church. I had brought my computer equipment to see if we could do a live broadcast from their church.
Half way through the message I began to say, "The technology's now at a point where we can broadcast live messages on the Internet." But before I finished the sentence, the phone line disconnected and our broadcast stopped. I saw the screen go down but I kept on preaching. At the end of the service, six people in the room prayed to receive Christ.
I was thrilled at their decisions, but I was also reminded of what I learned earlier in the week. Even when the technology fails, God doesn't. Even when everything around us falls apart, God won't. Even when our web gives way, God remains rock solid.
"In this world you will have trouble," Jesus said. "But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
Hallelujah! Now that's something we can hold onto.
Please Pray with Us
Thank you Lord,
- for continuing to work even when the technology doesn't,
- for getting us to the point where we can broadcast your message live on the Internet,
- and for sustaining us each month.
And Lord, we now ask:
- for these broadcasts to have a deep and lasting impact on those who watch them,
- for additional monthly supporters,
- and for people to find their way to The Ranch so they can find their way to you.
In Jesus' name, Amen!

Brian Watson is a fourth-year doctoral student at the Manship School of Mass Communication. He is a member of the Political Communication Research Group (PCRG), and he thinks it's one of the best ways for students to learn how to do research.
If you are interested in learning about research groups and what they do, read our conversation with Brian below:
What is a student research group?
When we all get here as students we have class requirements, and we have our GA assignments. But for doctoral students, the whole time we're here the whole priority is learning how to do research, how to cultivate a CV and actually get projects out for publication. And taking classes and doing our GA work is sometimes good for that, but I think the place where we really have the opportunity to work on projects both with faculty members and with each other are these research groups. We get to come up with ideas in our field and narrow down new interesting ideas that we then come together on and figure out. A great thing about the research groups is that you collaborate with people in a way that isn't really possible in classes or with your GA assignments. And also there is usually funding, so it allows us to have access to resources that we wouldn't ordinarily have. So from a doctoral students perspective, it's an excellent workshop for getting your feet wet and doing the actual research side of things.
What is the composition of your group?
Right now we have four regular faculty members that work with us. And then we have three Ph.D. students who are involved, and one Master's student. And then there is a recent graduate who is also collaborating with us.
What is the role of the professor in the group?
Right now, the professors have taken the lead on most of the projects because they're the most informed, they're the experts. We get to watch their work process and how they tackle problems, and what they think is important. They've primarily taken the lead on most of the projects that start up and then as graduate students we do a lot of the behind the scenes work but also get to watch what they do.
Could you give us a sense of the projects you've worked on in the past as well as the project for this semester?
It's a little complicated because our projects are overlapping. The big stuff is that PCRG has been working on is two news portal studies. Basically, we created news feeds that participants in an experiment get to use. And then we get to change the kinds of stories they see in their news feeds. We get to watch in real time this live experiment where people are scrolling through looking at the news. And we are going to check what they take away from that. Perceptions might change, with what sort of usage they do, what kind of stories they click on. Or, if we change the volume of say health care immigration stories, how does that affect what they think about healthcare immigration once they're done. So over the last year, we've been writing a lot of papers. And for the first two years I was here we did a version one of the portal and a version two of the portal. So we have this big, overarching news feed study that was really interesting.
Has PCRG utilized MEL in the past? If not, are there any plans for the future?
We haven't used MEL for that. We used Mechanical Turk. But we use MEL for different individual projects all the time.
What is the process for developing a new project? Is it a democratic process?
Every year I've been here we've sat down and put on the table ideas that we have hashed out and tried to figure out which ones we thought were worth pursuing. And then once we have our ideas on the table it's kind of democratic. We discuss which ones we think we can do, which ones are the most interesting. So I would say its pseudo-democratic in the sense that the professors obviously have a bigger vote then maybe the graduate students would. But that's a good thing because they know what they're doing.
Have you gone to any conferences, or had any unique experiences that you wouldn't have without being in this research group?
Not yet. But very soon. We are writing those portal paper now.
What is the most challenging part of being in the research group?
I think from a graduate students perspective who wants to get into research, the hardest part is once you jump in with active research there is a big learning curve. Because you might walk in having no idea what's going on when you first start. But once you get your feet wet and you're in it for awhile, just by doing things and participating you learn things a lot faster then you do sitting in classes all semester. The cool thing about the research group is it really integrates everything that you have to do, into a project that you're actually working on. So, even though that can be a lot of work, the learning curve can be steep, because you're working with professors on real projects. It's hugely beneficial.
Students have limited time. Give me your best reason why they should join a research group.
Because learning how research works is beneficial for everyone. I don't care what you do. Even if you go into marketing or PR and you're out in the world, you're constantly going to be having to evaluate figures and numbers, and you're going to be told that some studies are important to whatever it is you're doing. And having the ability to evaluate that and know the difference between a good study and a bad study by knowing how it works behind the scenes, that's great for everybody. And you can't find that kind of stuff out in the workforce.

It's the rare scandal that involves murder, corruption, Harvard University and comparisons to Jacqueline Kennedy. The Bo Xilai kerfuffle now mesmerizing China offers all this and perhaps more: It could forever change an entire political system.
Until March 15, Bo was the top official in the southwestern megacity of Chongqing and a political rock star. The 62-year-old was poised to join the Politburo Standing Committee, the nine-member group that exercises supreme power in China. Then, poof, his political fortunes vanished amid charges of "serious discipline violations" and a variety of racy rumours.
The most explosive involve Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and her ties to a murdered British business associate last November. It's quite a stunning turn of events for a couple once dubbed the Jack and Jackie Kennedy of China. Gu, along with her Harvard-student son, had a dispute over economic interests with Briton Neil Heywood, Xinhua News Agency reported.[np-related]
The scandal is creating a bull market in Beijing whispers. The conventional wisdom: Behind the scenes there was a concerted effort to halt Bo's meteoric rise based on the "Chongqing model" — a top-down push for social equality, with a strong role for government and huge infrastructure projects. Many saw Bo's strategy, which employed songs and slogans from the era of Mao Zedong, as nurturing a cult of personality. The day before Bo's ouster, Premier Wen Jiabao said that China risked a return of the Cultural Revolution — when millions were persecuted by Mao's Red Guards — unless the country continued to pursue political change.
Real Story
We're missing the true story here, though. It's really more evidence that China's political system is trapped in the past, while its economy races ahead. This dangerous mismatch is often dismissed by pundits and investors, and yet Bo's ambitious rise and fall, as well as the opacity surrounding it, embodies much of what's wrong in the fastest-growing major economy.
China is iPad central, with state-of-the-art factories, modern office towers of mirrored glass, six-lane highways, high- speed rail, expanding WiFi networks and state wealth that's the envy of Washington and Tokyo. China's nouveau riches are so vital to Prada SpA, Louis Vuitton and Mercedes-Benz that they have been called the "Middle Blingdom."
Yet China's political system dates to the days of Mao and Josef Stalin. As democracy takes root from Egypt to Myanmar, China is still mired in closed-door deliberations, backroom deals and purges. This murky world is bumping up against a burgeoning Internet culture that makes it impossible to contain and control the news.
In 2011, the richest 70 members of China's legislature were worth more than the annual GDP of Slovakia
It turns out that China isn't as governable as it might seem. Wen makes hopeful comments about moving toward democracy, but China is still in the grip of its history — both recent and ancient. To avoid repeating mistakes, a nation's people must know what that record entails. Remember that a picture of Mao still towers over Tiananmen Square, the site of events the Chinese can't even talk about.
China bulls cite the five-year plans Beijing puts forth. This year's power shift will bring great expectations that the next one will reform the economy so that it relies less on investment and exports and more on consumption. Laying out a grand scheme doesn't immediately make its tenets fact — especially now.
Political risk can't be ruled out as the focus turns to greed. How could Bo, with his modest government salary and a wife he claims doesn't work, live so well and afford to send his son to a string of pricey schools in the U.K. and U.S.?
All this light shining on high-level misconduct might pose a threat to the Communist Party's legitimacy by drawing renewed attention to the yawning gap between the elite and the poor.
Stop the Transfers
To continue to thrive, China must stop transferring vast amounts of income from households to the state. That means more power for consumers, and less for China's ultra-rich. The question is, as China tries to reform, will the nation's 1% fight it? And when we talk about this select group, we're really referring to the political leadership.
In 2011, the richest 70 members of China's legislature were worth more than the annual gross domestic product of Slovakia. The US$90-billion concentrated among them is both emblematic of how China's model is failing the masses and why Communist Party bigwigs will stonewall any change that crimps their income.
Because the extremely wealthy are often politicians, China may have a truly difficult time retooling its economy and narrowing the rich-poor divide. The hurdles to reform increase the odds of a hard landing in China that breeds social unrest.
We can marvel over Bo's downfall. We can go on about how China's leadership refuses to countenance rising political stars who challenge its clubby world. We can engage in whodunit fantasies about the wife and the dead businessman. But more than anything, this tale shows how an antiquated political system imperils a nation's future.

7 Things I Learned at my Own Information Marketing Bootcamp
I just finished doing one of my quarterly Information Marketing bootcamps a few days ago. There was a lot of new information learned by everyone . . . . INCLUDING ME!
Here are some info marketing tips I picked up at my own event.
1. Pick Something and Stick to It
One of the bootcamp participants was working on a certain niche. He was winding down his business in a completely separate area and this NEW niche was going to be where he would now concentrate his efforts.
A number of times during the week, he kept "backsliding" towards his former profession. Asking questions that seemed to indicate his lack of focus on the niche he came to the bootcamp to work on.
Not good.
I had to repeatedly STEER him back towards his new, primary niche. In this MTV era, it's easy to get distracted by the latest shiny object. Don't let it happen to YOU! Instead, pick what you're going to do and stick to it. At least for the next 3 years!!
2. A Great Product Without Traffic is Useless
No matter how great your info product is, without traffic, no one will find it. At this most recent Fred Info Bootcamp, one of the attendees was an SEO "specialist." He was VERY helpful in illuminating everyone, including me, about how things work.
I'll be talking more about him in future weeks and months.
This individual took one of my JV Partners, Bill Dewees, and moved him close to the top 10 in Google for a number of his keywords.
In less than 10 days his search engine traffic had gone up by about 300%.
Net result? People were actually able to FIND his site. Without that, he won't make any money or help anyone achieve their voice over dreams.
3. You Need Tools
If you're a carpenter, you need certain key tools to do your job. The same thing is true in the information marketing field. The problem is that the vast number of those who sell information products for a living have absolutely NO CLUE what tools they need.
There are three legs to the info marketing stool. Product, conversion and traffic. Tools are necessary to maximize your effectiveness in each of the three areas.
To put the best products together, you need certain tools. To me, the KEY tool in this area is your hardware. For myself and my coaching clients, that would be an Apple computer and all the software that comes with it.
In the area of conversion, I suggest that everyone get an account with CoolVideoTool.com. This tool enables you to send video email, create your own live events and do webinars effectively.
Traffic tools are MANY and varied. I'll be talking a lot more about this issue over the coming weeks and months. I've found someone who really knows his stuff and I'll be sharing with you some of the material he creates.
4. Don't Try and Take Over Russia First
Did you play the game RISK as a kid? I did a bit. One of the things you learned pretty quickly in that game is that it's super tough to take over a HUGE country early on in the game. It takes too much effort and fire power.
A lot of folks who do information marketing make the same mistake.
They spend their time trying to tackle a HUGE niche. Bad idea. Instead try and narrow your focus so you can win and win more quickly.
5. Pay for Things You Can't Do Yourself
You can't DO or BE everything in your business. Figure out where your strengths lie and concentrate on them. There are certain things you MUST do in your business. In other areas, try and figure out what might make sense to outsource.
For me, it makes no sense to build my sites. I have a full time webmaster for that. For YOU, it might be another part of your info product business.
IF you're in a financial position to do so, it makes sense to pay someone to do the things you can't or don't want to do.
6. Some Content Brings them In, Other Content Keeps Them on
When it comes to SEO, remember that creating some content will get people to your site and other content will keep people on your site. This being true, it makes sense to think of your content in two distinct ways.
What can you do to help optimize your site? Doing various things in this area is a SEPARATE and DISTINCT task from creating content that will improve your search engine rankings.
Which do you concentrate on? BOTH.
If no one finds your site in the first place, you've got big problems. BUT, if they find your site and then don't stick around to check out your content, that's an equally bad problem.
7. It's Easy to Get Fooled When You Don't Know Something
There are a LOT of things I don't know much about. In those areas, it's critically important to find trusted helpers/advisors.
Be VERY careful with whom you select to help you. There are a lot of people who don't know as much as they CLAIM to know. I'm continually amazed by how "clever" some of these coaches/consultants/advisors are.
A number of years back I got involved in a software venture with someone who CLAIMED to know what he was doing. Many tens of thousands of dollar later, I realized he had NO CLUE as to what he was doing.
Be careful. Check people out before working with them. There are a lot of people masquerading as something they are not.
There are a lot of things I teach at my information marketing bootcamps. Each time I do them I also learn a great deal.
If YOU do any teaching, keep your physical and mental notepad handy while you teach. You'll be amazed at what you can learn WHILE teaching. For me, information marketing is no different!

Tuesday, August 30, 2016
If you ever fancy a bit of publicity, chuck out a new tube map.
TfL uploaded this one on Friday. A new tube map showing the distance in steps between Underground stations.
An embargoed press release was duly sent to trusted media, and yesterday these media trumpeted the new map to the world.
"Transport for London has released a new Tube map showing the distance in steps between Underground stations," said the Evening Standard. "A new map of the London Underground has been created to show travellers exactly how close stations are in the centre of the capital and get them walking across the city instead," said City AM. "The new version of the iconic map shows how many steps there are between all stations in zones one and two," said The Sun. "We already have a map which shows us the walking times, but this new version gives us an indication of how much closer we can get to that elusive 10,000 steps a day if we hop off a stop or two early," said Time Out. "Sadiq Khan hopes the map will be a fun and practical way to help busy Londoners who want to make walking part of their everyday lives," said the Huffington Post. "We hope that the new steps version of the Tube map will inspire people to try new routes and discover that places in central London are closer than they might think," said Ben Plowden, Director of Surface Strategy and Planning at TfL, in the Daily Telegraph. "Click here to see full map," said the Metro.
If you rejig all the published versions and spot the common phrases you can almost recreate the story TfL sent out in the first place.
A few outlets noted that TfL had previously published something similar, last November in fact - a map of walking times between stations.
But what nobody pointed out is that the new map is exactly the same as the old map, except with all the numbers increased by a factor of 100. If the time in minutes was 5 then the number of steps is 500. If the time in minutes was 12 then the number of steps is 1200. If the time in minutes was 144 then the number of steps is 14400. Virtually no effort whatsoever has been expended in creating the new map, other than multiplying all the original numbers by 100. But in this fitness-app-oriented world, it turns out that steps can be more relevant than minutes, hence everyone's excited, and the Media team have another super-shareable success on their hands.
At the same time, TfL also uploaded another document to their Walking page, a list of Journeys that could be quicker to walk. If you've been a London blogger for a while you'll know this list is gold-dust, indeed a post I once wrote on the subject earned me more visitors than almost anything else I've ever written. Now TfL have finally released an official list, confirming at last that it's only 5 minutes to walk from Bayswater to Queensway, and 49 other journeys. It has equal billing to the other two maps on TfL's Walking page, and is a true social media Holy Grail. But none of the media outlets noticed.
OK, Ian Visits noticed, and he naturally wrote something non-generic, and he questioned the data. But all the other media stories I've seen have parroted the line that the steps map is new and exciting, and that it'll help Londoners be fitter and make better choices, and have completely overlooked the alternative list of stations. Perhaps journalists are no longer paid to notice things, or perhaps they no longer have the time.
Whatever, TfL's list of Central London journeys that could be quicker to walk is very interesting, and highly colourful, but perhaps not presented in the most practical form. All 50 journeys are presented in alphabetical order and in one direction only, so for example the three journeys that start or finish at Regent's Park aren't easy to spot. I doubt that many people are going to slog through the pdf and exclaim "oh, it seems my journey could be quicker to walk". A map might be nice, except these are journeys between stations not on the same line so a map could get messy.
What follows isn't the best way to present the data either. But I am excited to finally be able to present the official list of Central London tube journeys where it would be quicker to walk.
50 journeys between stations in zone 1 and 2 (not on the same line) where it would be quicker to walk
2 minutes (200 steps): Great Portland Street → Regent's Park
3 minutes (300 steps):

5 minutes (500 steps): Bank → Mansion House, Bayswater → Queensway; Great Portland Street → Warren Street
6 minutes (600 steps):
7 minutes (700 steps): Regent's Park → Warren Street
8 minutes (800 steps): All Saints → Blackwall; Barbican → St Paul's; Bethnal Green → Whitechapel; Bethnal Green → Stepney Green; Cannon Street → St Paul's; Chancery Lane → Farringdon; Clapham High Street → Clapham Common; Covent Garden → Tottenham Court Road; Goldhawk Road → Shepherd's Bush; Hampstead Heath → Belsize Park; Kentish Town West → Chalk Farm; New Cross → Deptford Bridge; South Hampstead → Finchley Road
9 minutes (900 steps): Blackfriars → St Paul's; Charing Cross → Westminster
10 minutes (1000 steps): Hackney Central → London Fields; Lambeth North → Southwark; Royal Oak → Warwick Avenue; Shepherd's Bush → Wood Lane
11 minutes (1100 steps): Blackfriars → Southwark; Camden Road → Mornington Crescent; Covent Garden → Temple; Farringdon → St Paul's; Finchley Road & Frognal → Hampstead; Goodge Street → Great Portland Street; Holborn → Temple; Rectory Road → Clapton
12 minutes (1200 steps): Barbican → Chancery Lane; Blackfriars → Chancery Lane; Borough → Southwark; Edgware Road → Marble Arch, Euston Square → Goodge Street; Goodge Street → Russell Square; Great Portland Street → Oxford Circus; Kentish Town West → Camden Town; Queensway → Royal Oak; Shoreditch High Street → Old Street; Shoreditch High Street → Liverpool Street; South Hampstead → St John's Wood
13 minutes (1300 steps): Edgware Road → Marble Arch; Goodge Street → Regent's Park
14 minutes (1400 steps): Chancery Lane → Temple; Edgware Road → Lancaster Gate; Latimer Road → Shepherd's Bush
This may be TfL's official list, but it's not complete. Where's Lancaster Gate to Paddington, which is one of the most useful shortcuts of all, cutting off a huge diversion the distorted tube map doesn't show? Where's Warren Street to Euston Square, which is an even briefer walk? Where's Euston to Euston Square, and Aldgate to Aldgate East, or has somebody at TfL assumed we're bright enough to spot that these pairs of stations must be close? More sensibly I'm assuming anything marked as an interchange on the tube map is missing, which is why White City to Wood Lane and Bow Church to Bow Road (and others) don't appear.
Omissions aside, this is indeed a potentially useful list, and one which might well inspire some Londoners to keep fitter by walking rather than taking the tube. It's also information which could easily be displayed prominently at relevant tube stations, for example at Warren Street announcing that Great Portland Street was 5 minutes walk away and Regent's Park 7. Imagine a big sign by the station entrance directing would-be passengers elsewhere via a quicker walking route. You might think TfL mad for encouraging folk not to use their services, but anything that reduces congestion underground is generally a good thing.
Just don't go thinking that the Walking steps map is new and exciting, because London's seen it before, and London forgets so easily.

Happy Hump Day!
The new movie Jolene follows a red-headed girl (played by Jessica Chastain) with a talent for art as she's placed in several different foster homes. Eventually she gets married and has an affair, becoming addicted to sex and having lots of it. After separating from her husband, she meets "a lesbian matron," (played by Frances Fisher) who "introduces her to new sexual adventures," according to The New York Observer. Apparently things don't work out between them, despite the fact she "adjusts quickly" when she's with the woman.
This seems to be bordering on creepy, but I could be wrong. Please let me be wrong.
Cynthia Nixon continued on her media tour of being fierce by going on The Joy Behar Show last night.
So now you must forgive her for Sex and the City 2.
The new season of Being Erica starts tonight on the CBC, and there is definitely a reason to watch: Erica's college girlfriend, Cassidy, will make a return.
Anna Silk plays Cassidy, but she's currently got her own hit show called Lost Girl, where she plays a bisexual succubus, so who knows how and when she'll show up on Being Erica.
Erin Karpluk plays Erica, and told the Calgary Herald:
Those Cassidy and Erica people? Yeah, that's us. Right here!
Some people are bound to twist Portia DeGeneres' words like so: "Being a lesbian gave me anorexia." Actually, if you read her book, you'll see she struggled with an eating disorder and coming out publicly but one didn't give her the other. Read our review of the memoir, Unbearable Lightness, later today.
It probably doesn't surprise you that Rachel Maddow knows her way around a tie.
Check out this video of Anyone But Me and Vencie stars as they pay a visit to the Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York City.
On the previews for next week's Good Wife, we get a look at Lili Taylor with her arm around Kalinda, telling her "Don't worry — I didn't tell your secrets."
Hmm that's either a dark shot because they are somewhere romantic or somewhere secretive.
Not only does Constance McMillen have a new movie being made about her botched prom experience last year, but now she's getting $81,000 in legal fees paid to her by her school district. Boo ya!
Speaking of Constance, she joins some friends in this new message from GetEQUAL.
Today on TV: The Ellen DeGeneres Show (check local listings), Adoption Stories (Discovery Health 11:30 a.m.), The Talk (CBS 2 p.m.), America's Next Top Model (CW 8 p.m.), The Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC 9 p.m. and midnight), Hellcats (CW 9 p.m.). (Thanks Roni!)
See you later!

Wondering if Margot Robbie will ever be scouted for Taylor Swift's girl gang? We reckon her inability to spell squad could be a solid deal breaker.
The Aussie actress revealed on Stephen Colbert this week that she misspelled the modern-day term while tattooing Jai Courtney's assistant, Simon, permanently imprinting "Swad" on her Suicide Squad colleague instead. It's on his arm too, so we reckon he probably feels an epic sense of regret every time he doesn't wear something long sleeved. So, like, all the bloody time.
#skwad pic.twitter.com/HOZDytXnjp
— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 18, 2015
Considering Margot's handed out about 26 tattoos in her time, including one on her own bod, and seems to lap up the experience, we're going with an "it could've been worse" response this time around. Oh, and if you're wondering how the heck S-Q-U-A-D turned into S-W-A-D, we'll let Margot explain that for you in the video below.

The customer, who lives in Swansea, the second largest city in Wales after Cardiff, had been searching for a company to rectify the problems with his Travertine tiled floor for a few months with no luck. Fortunately, he discovered Tile Doctor online and as their local agent I was asked to assess the problems first hand.
Upon my inspection, I was quite astounded by the way the Travertine floor had been installed. It covered an around 60 square metres and suffering severe lipping of 2-3 mm in some areas between tiles. Lipping occurs when you have variation in the height of adjoining tiles, and it can be quite a trip hazard.
The floor was laid in September 2016 on a new screed, so I knew there would be no damp issues. I checked the spare tiles the customer had in surplus and determined they were 13mm thick so the solution I proposed was to grind down the tiles by 2-3mm using coarse diamond encrusted milling pads and then restore the polish with a set of fine burnishing pads. You can only do this with natural stone and given the tiles were 13mm thick it shouldn't present a problem.
Levelling an Uneven Travertine Tiled Floor
I used a set of Tile Doctor milling pads, starting with the 50 grit Extra Coarse pad to remove the lippage throughout the whole floor. It was a large area and with 2-3mm to grind off the tile it took four days nearly three pads to complete.
I then used the 100-grit coarse pad to further smooth the surface the 50-grit pad had etched, followed by the 200-grit pad to refine the finish even further. After every pad application, I rinsed and vacuumed and the area to remove the slurry.
Restoring the Polish on a Travertine Tiled Floor
After removing the tile lippage, I knew that the floor would be a lot easier to polish using our set of four Tile Doctor burnishing pads, which would do the job of restoring the desired polish. I started with the Coarse 400 grit pad and worked my way through the system of burnishing pads using a little water to help lubricate and rinsing away the slurry between each pad. The pads were applied in sequence from Medium, Fine and then Very Fine pads to achieve a fantastic polished finish.
Next, I needed to fill a lot of cavities remaining in the stone. I did this filling after the burnishing to avoid the filler coming loose during the work in progress.
Sealing a Travertine Tiled Floor
The final step in the restoration process was to seal the floor using our impregnating sealer, known as Tile Doctor Colour Grow. I highly recommend this product for stone as it not only does add durable protection by occupying the pores in the stone it also enhances it's natural colours.
Finally, I removed any surplus sealer with a cloth and left the floor to dry for another hour, before using the Very Fine pad to refine the polish and ensure that no smears were present.
The work took eight days to complete and both myself and the customer were delighted with the results of the restoration of the floor which was a total disaster to look at when I first inspected it. The customer thought it was beyond repair – until he found Tile Doctor.

I'm having facial numbness, in a very specific area of my face and head. It feels like there is a weight at right above my right temple. When I squeez and press on the temple itself, there is muscular pain all over. The pressure seeps down to my cheek, but only specific parts of my cheek along with severe jerking when I'm startled-there is seldom any pain but I do have a load of anxiety, hence I took a xanax, the pressure died down, but I could still feel it-excedrine migraine doesn't work to well and I'm getting twitches all over my right side of the body along with diziness.
Had an MRI a year and a half ago, nothing found-recently was diagnosed with cat scratch disease, but that's minimal compared to these symptoms that I've had for a while.
Please explain to me what this is, it feels like the right side of my face is about to droop, but I always check the mirror and everything is fine.
I'm 20 years old and this is honestly ruining my life with all the anxiety I feel. It has been intensifying in the past years.

I blog about visual novels as I read them.
I thought about making another Top 10 list with VNs I've read or changed opinion on since my last one, but I don't think it would be particularly representative. So hey, why not make a ranking of literally *all* VNs I've ever read? Sounds like fun!
That being said, some of these novels are way too close to one another and hard to differentiate in how I feel about them. So I'm going to be doing this in tiers. I'll still try to sort the VNs in each individual tier from worst to best,

This is going to be a series of posts forming a commentary on the journey of reading Umineko. While I may talk about themes more relevant to Umineko on a greater scale, I intend to keep this series spoiler-free beyond the episode I'm talking about, so you're completely safe to read this if you've read up to the episode in the title yourself.
Starting with Episode 1: And Then There Were No Seagulls, or something along those lines. At least until it's not anymore.

Referring to Zero Escape, Root Double and Ever17, three games / series that share a quite similar premise and execute it in quite different ways. The shared premise being basically as follows: a group of characters finds themselves locked in a very dangerous situation cut off from the outside world, and if they don't get out fast they all die. The games are all set in the not too distant future, with science being a little more advanced than in our world. And finally, all the games have some very

You know, I recently went back over some of the plots of my favorite visual novels and, uh, with a lot of them if you think about the situation too much it starts getting really depressing.
So for "fun" I felt like summing up their situations in a sentence or two and decided to make a little game: match the VN to the horribly depressing situation! Naturally some of these are pretty big spoilers so I've put the list of represented VNs in a spoiler tag at the bottom. You shouldn't

Oh boy, let's make a blog post about this because what could possibly go wrong...
There's an aspect of visual novels I've always just mostly ignored and glossed over in my year and a half of blogging on here. It's something I always fear of touching upon since I don't want people to look at me like I'm a weirdo. But then again I feel like it's something I should address at some point. And that is the rather close relationship between visual novels and erotic content.
Something sweet and motivating to start off the new year with.
(I think I've obscured it enough so as to not spoil where it's from, but if you recognize the style early on and you haven't completed this VN yet, proceed with caution.)
Wow, hard to believe it's already been a year. Across the entirety of 2015 I've made 90 whole blog posts. That's a post every four days! Let me take a look at how far I've come since starting this thing...
I've read 23 new visual novels, 18 of which I've reviewed.
Adding up all the approximate lengths I'm left presuming I spent about 650 hours on it. Not counting rereads of visual novels I had already read prior to this year.
By far my most active reading
Seems like censoring in games has become quite a controversial issue recently. I mostly see people vehemently claiming that censoring is bad practice and should not be a thing. And I gotta be honest, I feel it's not quite that simple.
This article is a bit old, being from mid-2013, but this has been an issue in the visual novel localizing scene for years now and it STILL
It's the Rokkenjima Incident's anniversary today, so I felt like making some sort of post about Umineko at least. So this is what I came up with. Time to enjoy being extremely vague! At least I believe I did well to avoid notable spoilers in this post.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni is a mystery story. A story with truths hidden beneath its surface which it wants its readers to figure out on their own. But how likely is it really that the attentive reader will actually figure out everything
I feel like doing a few writeups of particular aspects of visual novels, and how and where they were done well or not-so-well. There's a lot of subtle things that go into a visual novel experience, and I appreciate the attention to detail on some accounts. This is one of those little things that can truly make a big difference.
In many ways a good title screen theme is important. It's the single theme you keep coming back to - the one you hear every time you open up the game - and

Positive Mind, Positive Vibes, Positive Life
You may be familiar with the Real Housewives franchise, which mainly consists of splashing the cash, ladies lunches and extravagant parties. Well since the Real Housewives of Cheshire is now the latest spin off and first UK version, X1 Lettings just had to get involved with the cast!
If any of you are guilty of watching this show you will know that Tanya Bardsley is well known for her hilarious remarks, brash honestly and a firm believer of positivity. She is a mother, wife, TV icon and now businesswomen with her new exciting venture 'Tanya Bardo Boutique'.
Tanya who is a trained life coach wanted to convert her knowledge into opening a boutique where customers can purchase all things positivity, making you feel you can take on the world!
Lucky for us at X1, we got to visit the boutique and chat to Tanya's trusted team who gave us an insight into how the power of positivity really has taken Cheshire by storm! And it really has, just after 2 weeks of opening the boutique had to close to restock as ALL products had been completely sold out- now that's impressive!
We experienced all things positivity from the tranquil interiors and atmospheres to spraying Tanya's famous positivity spray; we really did get the full experience in the boutique!
Tanya is always popping into the boutique in-between filming, along with other celebrities and her Cheshire housewives co-stars, making it a 'celeb spotting hotspot!'
If you haven't visited yet, take a trip to Cheshire, soak up on positivity and you never know who you may bump into!
