There is something so poetic about a chick feeder becoming an Easter jelly bean dispenser. Poetic and easy. What could be better?
Supplies You'll Need:
- A chick feeder base {Farm stores carry these}
- Clean mason jar
- Jelly beans
- Funnel
Wash the chick feeder in hot soapy water. Dry completely.
Funnel jelly beans into the mason jar, leaving enough head space to easily screw on the base of the chick feeder.
Screw on the base, while the jar is still upright.
Flip it over and proceed to eat all of the purple and pink jelly beans out of the feeder before the kids have a chance to get at it. Now how easy was that?

A great and easy to read book. It starts off with some details of the very first Burns Supper in 1801. Over the following 200 years the celebration of Burns Night is known the world over.
The book explains that Haggis is a cooked product and simply needs to be reheated, which can be done by steaming, boiling, oven heat and microwave.
Also provided is a traditional Burns Supper menu, which is hyper linked to photos or the recipe. There is some brief history to background of the dishes, the ingredients, the cooking method and chef's tips.
The book then finishes with a typical Burns Supper programme. Starting with Grace, Entrance of the Haggis, The Immortal Memory address, Toast to the Lassies and the subsequent reply, Tam O'Shanter, Music, Songs and Poems and then the closing address.
All in all, a nice little book with a mixture of the history of the event, recipes with photos and proceedings.

| Black Widow (Marvel) has been targeted for termination for the following reason(s):
Please discuss it on the talk page for this article.
|I have a very specific skill set. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call.
|~ Black Widow explaining her former occupation as an assassin.
Natalia Romanova, also known as Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow, is a major character in Marvel Comics. She started off as a former villainess serving as a spy before becoming a superhero by initiating herself as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a longtime member of the superhero team called the Avengers. She is also a major character of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she was portrayed by Scarlett Johansson, who also voiced Kaa in the 2016 version of Disney's The Jungle Book.
She appeared for the first time in "Tales of Suspense 52" as one of the main enemies of Iron Man, but later she becomes one of the main heroines of the Marvel Universe, fighting off many villains who are far more worse than her. Even before her criminal ways and during her days as a agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., she has many allies on her side, including Spider-Man, Daredevil, and her best friend Hawkeye.

The itchy, scaly, and painful plaques caused by psoriasis often appear between the ages of 15 and 25, but the condition can develop at any age, including in young children. With early treatment, the doctors at SkinMD can help patients get relief from their psoriasis symptoms and keep the condition in remission longer. To get expert treatment for your psoriasis, book an appointment online or call one of the offices in Chicago, Evergreen Park, Orland Park, or Skokie, Illinois.
Psoriasis develops when skin cells begin to grow more rapidly than normal, causing them to build upon the skin's surface. As the cells accumulate, they create a patch of psoriasis.
Although psoriasis can develop on any part of your body, it most often affects the face, scalp, palms, elbows, and knees. You can also develop psoriasis on the soles of your feet.
Some patients only have a few small spots of psoriasis, while others develop lesions all over their body. Symptoms vary depending on the type of psoriasis you have.
The doctors at SkinMD develop a customized treatment plan, depending on the type and severity of your psoriasis. These are a few examples of the therapies that may be included in your treatment:
If you develop itchy, scaly plaques, call SkinMD or book an appointment online to begin treatment to relieve your symptoms.

CrowdStar No Longer Developing Social Games for Facebook
CrowdStar's CEO Peter Relan said in an interview that the longtime social games maker is no longer developing for Facebook.
Instead, the company is focused on building games for smartphones.
"We are maintaining the old games, like Happy Aquarium, but we don't build new Facebook PC games any more — we are 100 percent focused on mobile," Relan said.
Last year, he said, 90 percent of the company's revenues came from Facebook, but he predicts that this year 90 percent will come from mobile.
CrowdStar's decision to leave Facebook is bad timing for the social network it as nears its public offering.
A platform must have both a lot of applications and a lot of users in order to be successful, but if the perception is that the platform can be profitable only for a few, developers will go elsewhere. Today, the reality is that Zynga dominates the charts and makes far and away more money than anyone else. Meanwhile, fledgling developers are seeking financial alternatives.
Founded in 2008, the Burlingame, Calif., company was one of the first to feed off of Facebook's social graph, which allowed companies to endlessly post messages on players' walls to get the word out about their games. Since those viral channels were shut down, Crowdstar has had a difficult time keeping up with social game leaders, such as Zynga, Electronic Arts, Wooga and King.
A year ago, the company raised its first round of funding totaling $23 million, but since then, its games have slipped in the rankings as its focus has shifted to mobile. Today, it attracts fewer than 8 million monthly users, down from 29 million a year ago, according to AppData.
Since then, said Relan, they have discovered an attractive audience on mobile, consisting of females age 13 to 30 who are not interested in sitting in front of a PC or a console to play games. "They are very mobile and communications-oriented," he said.
For example, Crowdstar's Girl franchise, including Top Girl, Social Girl and Modern Girl, has collectively hit 20 million downloads across both iPhone and Android. Modern Girl alone surpassed two million downloads within three weeks of its launch.
The Girl franchise includes role-playing games where users dress up avatars and are judged on their outfits as they walk the runway.
Relan said Zynga has done a good job serving the females, aged 35 and over, who grew up on PCs and enjoy playing games online. But the slightly younger demographic is looking for a different kind of game play on a different platform. Relan said they still will leverage the Facebook platform on mobile.
The decision to pull away from Facebook on the PC is new since the company announced a three-prong strategy in October that included Facebook games, mobile games and an emphasis on Asia.
Relan said that even if the company weren't targeting a niche that gravitated toward mobile, he'd still be wary of developing games for Facebook. That's because he believes the audience for Facebook games has plateaued or started to decrease.
"If I was going after an older audience, I might focus on tablets," he said.

Masterclass in Cinematography from Legendary DP Christopher Doyle
Oftentimes, Youtube can be a dark and desolate place, leading even the most focused of viewers on hour-long journeys through series of absurd cat videos that, by all accounts, are too ridiculous to even exist. However, sometimes the myriad links to the right of your videos can send you in the direction of some fantastic content. That's what happened to me today as I stumbled upon an old segment from the BBC Culture Show about Christopher Doyle, the legendary cinematographer who is most famous for his work on the films of Wong Kar-Wai. So without any further ado, here is the segment in all of its low-resolution glory:
What I find most interesting about Doyle's approach to cinematography is that it's at the complete opposite end of the spectrum from the Hollywood cinematographic conventions. Instead of building any and all sets needed for production, Doyle makes a point of using the city's unique culture and settings to create visual poetry that just can't be faked. It's this visual poetry, this interplay of story, setting, and camera that make of Doyle's work some of the most beautiful cinematography that I've ever seen.
Doyle's style, in regards to his extraordinary use of locations, is similar to the way in which Beasts of the Southern Wild was shot, with a sense of culture and exploration built directly into the cinematography. The difference, however, is that Beasts was born of an independent spirit, whereas Doyle and the directors with whom he works are at the highest levels of the Asian film industry. Doyle has the ability to create images that are incredibly subtle and artful as a result of this approach, yet he does so without alienating the audience. It's something to note for all aspiring cinematographers; just because things are done a certain way in the States does not mean that more effective and artful approaches don't exist and shouldn't be tried.
Doyle's comments about his theories on camera movement are equally interesting:
What happens with camera movement is what I call "the dance" between the actors and the camera. And I think that the dance is what really engages people. And how well we dance is really what camera movement is about. I always felt that the camera is in a very intimate relationship with the actors. They take me somewhere, and I go with them. And that's what gives the actors their flexibility.
For those of you who haven't seen Chunking Express, here's a quick example of the style to which Doyle is referring:

Great profile of an incredibly talented cinematographer! Anyone know where we can see the whole thing?
Also, just wanted to comment on the great DIY camera stabilizer he came up with: a giant pillow strapped around his midsection with a belt! Looks goofy but you can't argue with the results :)

Doyle's camera movement is top rate because it doesn't overwhelm the actors, unlike - as an example - a Baz Luhrman or even a Martin Scorsese sequence. Also his "little touches" are sublime.
Overall, this is a welcome change from wide shot-close up - intercut - close up - intercut- close up sequence that one finds in most US films and, especially, 1-hr scripted TV shows.
July 4, 2013 at 9:01PM, Edited September 4, 8:21AM
Huge fan of Doyle's work, especially 2046. The guy is a visual master.
July 5, 2013 at 1:57AM, Edited September 4, 8:21AM
From an interview he did in 2005:
"Anybody who works with me knows what shit they're in for," he says. "They know he's had a beer for breakfast. They know he doesn't give a shit about certain technical aspects. They know he's a little bit out of synch, and he'll probably throw a spanner in the works. Or why would you bother calling me?"
July 5, 2013 at 1:59AM, Edited September 4, 8:21AM
I like him because he's crazy. Relatively speaking of course. ;)
July 5, 2013 at 4:42PM, Edited September 4, 8:21AM
Doyle (rightfully) crapping on Life of Pi's Cinematography Oscar:
"...since 97 per cent of the film is not under his control, what the fuck are you talking about cinematography, sorry. I'm sorry. I have to be blunt and I don't care, you can write it. I think it's a fucking insult to cinematography."
Love him!

Although I have attended many baptisms for eight-year olds, today I attended my first adult baptism. As an eight-year old, I recall seeing baptism through the lens of duty and right and wrong moral decisions. I didn't see baptism as an opportunity to enter and serve in a community, because I was already part of the Mormon faith. I saw it as a duty to check off if I wanted to be exalted and free of sin. But the adult baptismal service I attended emphasized being welcomed into the community more than duty, which caused me to see baptism in a new and refreshing light.
Those who spoke and conducted framed the convert's baptism as an extension of the faith in Christ that she developed long ago and of her spiritual journey. Surprisingly, they rarely mentioned that she was joining the "true" church and they downplayed the theological urgency of needing to be baptized now by reminding us that everyone will eventually have the chance when they are ready; rather, they focused their remarks on how through the church and the Holy Ghost she would expand her faith and receive additional support. Two highlights of the baptismal service emphasized these points. First, after the woman was baptized, her visiting and home teachers were introduced. To me, it is beautiful that the first thing that occurs after someone is baptized is to be welcomed into a community that offers support. Next, a prayer was offered that thanked the new convert's parents (who were not members) for raising a daughter who knew who she was and was of such worth. Although I suspect that seeing a daughter convert to a different faith is often hard, this prayer graciously acknowledged the essential role that the convert's family played and plays in her spiritual life.
Today's baptism moved me by emphasizing not just our belief in Christ's church and the goodness of all faiths, but also the promises we make to give our support to others and the support that Christ promises to those who follow him. Through simple acts like introducing ward members available to serve the new convert, this service made literal and immediate the blessings that God brings to those who follow him.

The Menlo Park City Council has directed staff to lay the groundwork for renaming a portion of Hamilton Avenue in honor of the late Dr. Hattie Bostic.
A number of churchgoers and residents who attended Tuesday's meeting to speak on behalf of the late founder and pastor of Mt. Olive Apostolic Original Holy Church of God in Belle Haven responded to the council's decision with cheers and applause.
"I think it's a great idea," Councilwoman Kirsten Keith said. "She was a community leader for so long and I think it would be an honor that is well worth it."
Longtime Menlo Park resident Brenda Robinson called Bostic an "inspiration," adding that she demonstrated the importance of integrity and courage and led the community by example.
Bostic established the Mount Olive church in July 1963 and remained at its helm until she died of cancer in 2011 at the age 76. Her son, Bishop Teman L. Bostic Sr., succeeded her.
Mayor Ray Mueller informed attendees that city staff will dot the i's and cross the t's before bringing the matter back to the council for a vote.
"We're going to make this happen," he said.

Having not witnessed the terrible accident on the hill above a small town named Gays Mills, Wisconsin with my own eyes, I cannot comment firsthand about what took place. However, that evening, I saw a young girl in extreme pain get picked up & taken home from the trip by her parents and it made us all very sad. I wrote to her several weeks later & learned she slowly recovered from her awful wounds. Needless to say, we all had a new respect for the unknown road which lie ahead.
The over-riding theme to this trip seemed to be the rain. Looking back in my 25 year old memories, I keep visualizing wet pavement and rain ponchos everywhere.
We eventually crossed the Mississippi River and marvelled at the locks and barges on the river. Our next stay was in Lansing, Iowa. My most prominent memory of this town unfortunately revolves around the numerous attacking mosquitoes! There was no relief!!
Riding northward the next day, I gained my first exposure to a new song on the radio - 'My Sharona' by The Knack. A fellow rider kept singing the bass line over & over & over (DanananaNa Na Na Na Na Na naNanananana MY SharoNA!) when we were riding through Brownsville, Minnesota. I finally asked "what IS that you're singing?" His reply, "You've GOT to be kidding! You haven't heard My Sharona? Where've you been???" Of course, 10 minutes later, I could hear it blaring from the nearest radio!
We then crossed back over the Mississippi & got literally drenched coming into LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Fortunately, our itinerary included a stop at a Perkins where we could wring ourselves out.
The next highlight came with our trek down the Elroy-Sparta State Bike Trail. This was an experience like none other! The 32 mile trail on an old railroad bed took us through 3 tunnels, including one that is 3/4 of a mile long! Flashlights came in handy & walking was an highly desireable option here!
The Wisconsin Dells loomed large for everyone. We all hosed each other down in a serious water fight and then loaded up our bodies into the back of the U-Haul trailer for a ride out to The Tommy Bartlett Water Show for an evening of water-skiing and magical entertainment.
Riding on The Merrimac Ferry across the Wisconsin River between Sauk and Columbia counties was a special treat. This was, and I believe, still is Wisconsin's only FREE ferry service.
A revelation came to this 17 year old rider during one of the long days sitting on a bike saddle. My riding group included one African-American rider named Anthony. Anthony, who had a slight tendency to be humorous at times, started complaining about a sunburn. Well, this young white boy from Iowa moved forward with his base instinct and began to laugh. Having only met 3 African-Americans (Anthony being #3) up to this point, I had no idea whether this could be a reality. Guess what!.....
Finally, the end of the trip was near & one of my greatest physical achievements came into being.
To be continued...

How can a reverse mortgage benefit me? Find out how the HUD program works. This is the coolest of the FHA home mortgages for homeowners that are 62 and older who want to use the equity in their home.
The option is one of the prime examples
of how conscientious governments ensure that the country's older
nationals are well taken care of. Below I will explain how this HUD program works.
If you are a senior citizen then you would be eligible for this type of mortgage. It is likely that you have seen advertisements on the television or in the newspapers of how you can get money from your home without actually selling it off.
If you are planning to go for this mortgage program, then here are some details that you must consider.
This FHA mortgage program is a form of home loan that is designed to help you get money by converting the equity you hold in your own home. In different words, with the help of a reverse mortgage you would be able to convert the equity you hold in your home into cash.
can also view this cash as the equivalent of the equity that you have
gradually built in your home through mortgage payments. One of the most
important aspects of a this program, however, is that you would not have
to repay it till you actually stop living in your home. It is also
important for you to know that FHA also refers to this program as the
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.
There are three separate criterion with regard to the eligibility of people for this program. These are the following:
There are four separate aspects that determine the amount of money you can get through this program. These include the age of the borrower, the current interest rate, the lower end of the appraised value of the home and the type of initial mortgage insurance premium chosen by you.
In effect, you would be able to borrow more if the appraised value of your home is high, your age is more and the interest rate is low.

A Universe of Works
We designed the visual identity for this year's Archdiploma — an exhibition every two years showcasing the best works from the fields of architecture and spatial planning.
The identity is a dynamic system allowing a broad range of used media.
Close connection to the content
In order to allow visual exploration and a multitude of output, our individually designed tool is tightly coupled with the content: every single graphical element represents an individual work. The identity is on the border line between infographics and abstract artwork. All the graphics are generated procedurally, are unique and can be used not only for print, but in different media like web, animation or (interactive) installation.
We created a dynamic identity, a 224-pages Catalogue, a responsive Website, all printed matter including several Posters, Bags, Invitation Cards, Envelopes, Signage and imagery/animations for Social Media.

Incivility is silently chipping away at people, organizations and our economy. Slights, insensitivities and rude behaviors can cut deeply and hijack focus. Even if people want to perform well, they can't. Ultimately incivility cuts the bottom line. In Mastering Civility, Christine Porath, the leading authority on workplace incivility, shows why it pays to be civil and how people can enhance their influence and effectiveness with civility. Combining scientific research with fascinating evidence from popular culture and fields such as neuroscience, medicine and psychology, Porath makes clear what's really at stake regarding civility, helps individuals evaluate and improve their own behavior and provides valuable strategies for how leaders can find and keep employees who help to create civility in organizations. Mastering Civility provides managers and employers with a much-needed wake-up call, while also reminding them of what they can do right now to improve the quality of their workplaces.
• The physical, psychological and monetary costs of incivility for individuals and organizations.
• Why you can be civil and get ahead.
• To evaluate your own civility and concrete strategies to improve.
• A four-step plan for organizations to improve civility.
• How to respond if you are the target of incivility.

Video Description
I will introduce you to my open source 3D Printer that I built from a kit. I'll share my experiences of both joy and tears, from assembly and tuning, to modeling and printing. We'll cover the kinds of open source models, compare their commercial counterparts, talk about heat, plastic types and potential. If you are curious about 3D printing, but don't know much about it, I hope to cover all of the basics. If you have been doing your research, but have some pointed questions that will get you off the fence, I hope to answer those too. By the end of the session, my hope is you will all want to build 3D printers of your own, and have all of the information you need to get started.

I repotted this orchid a few months ago because it looked so pitiful. It has been resting in a happy place all summer next to the little pond in front of the kitchen window. A few days ago I spotted what looked like flower buds and this morning...

More Caterpillar Happenings
The black swallowtail butterfly caterpillars have at least doubled in size in 48 hours. It makes me laugh when they put up their little orange "horns" to try and scare me away. It's hard to capture that in a photo, though, because they stay up for only a few seconds and by the time I focus, the "horns" are gone.

Caterpillars, Day One
Exciting stuff! It looks like the black swallowtail butterfly I spotted in the back yard last week laid eggs. Today I saw some teeny caterpillars on the parsley. Stay tuned for caterpillar updates. Yeah, big times in Double Oak.

Sorry this is 24 hours late, but I've spent a very enjoyable day down at Streatham High School, taking a look round their new labs and discussing everything from iGCSE to KS3 science. It's always so interested and useful to visit other science departments – we should do more of it.
Anyway, what shall I burble about this week? I was quite pleased with a new idea for introducing the Nervous System to Year 13. It was inspired by one of last year's Year 13s who gave me some experience altering tablets as a thank you present. No, not what you're thinking. It was pack of mberry miracle fruit tablets, available for £12.50 a pop at http://mymberry.co.uk/ and featured on the Graham Norton show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJwuo2Y7KXs. The protein present, miraculin, causes a conformational change to your sweet receptors such that they bind to "sour" molecules. Result – a slice of lemon tastes like lemon sherbet. I got my Year 13s to suck on a slice of lemon, and then dissolve one tablet as per instructions on their tongue, and then try the lemon again. Sensational reaction! Then get them to explain it… Along with all the revision of receptors and proteins, it's a really neat way of showing that our perception of the world depends entirely on which part of our brain impulses get sent to…
What else? Well, I could tell you about the amazing fun I'm having with Year 7, or share the Year 12 practical investigation into osmotic inhibition of bacterial growth, or maybe the Year 9 Martian Biologist challenge – how can you tell the difference between Eleanor and a geranium? But I want to take a trip down memory lane and share my eureka teaching moment, when I suddenly realised what it was all about.
It was my second term at St Paul's. I was due to start the Immune System with Year 12 and I was planning my standard kind of lesson – project image of macrophage, tell them about macrophage, give out picture of macrophage, label on board, draw picture of phagocytosis, etc etc. In other words, not a lesson, but a lecture, with no active learning, just information delivery. Students all passive. Me hoping to enthuse them with the inherent brilliance of macrophages and the sheer ebullience of my teaching personality. Ahem.
And then, clearing out the filing cabinet in my lab, I found an old sheet left behind by the retiring biology teacher who I had replaced. Here it is.
The Immune System
Natural Immunity
In mammals, non-specific or natural immunity operates partly through PHAGOCYTIC white blood cells (leucocytes).
- Observe a prepared slide of a blood smear. Using an Atlas of Histology and Biology textbooks to help you, identify and draw labelled diagrams of a phagocyte and a lymphocyte.
Add to your diagrams the mean diameter for each type of white blood cell (in mm) and a concise description of the cell's appearance.
2) Draw annotated diagrams to illustrate the mode of action of a phagocyte.
From where are phagocytes derived?
What are the two main types of phagocyte? How may they be distinguished?
It doesn't look like much. No fancy formatting or sexy SEM images or even a joke or two. But the lack of frippery probably helped me "get it". And it was so simple! I just needed to step away from the white board, put down the marker pen, and stop talking. I needed to tell the students as little as possible. Quite the opposite. I needed to let them find out for themselves. Make them do all the work. Base it around practical observation or investigation. Make it a journey of discovery. Make it active learning. My job was to guide and enable, not just tell them stuff. It came as a revelation, though in fairness to my brilliant PGCE teachers, it was basically what they had tried to tell us during the teacher training course.
So why hadn't I got it earlier? The fear, I think, is in letting go, relinquishing control of the class, because as long as they're looking at me and copying stuff off the board, I'm doing my job and it's all nice and safe. The only down side is that, underneath all the busy scratching of pens, the students are bored and not actually learning anything….
Anyway, I've modified this leucocyte activity a bit now – in fact, I use a simplified version with Year 11 to put some practical activity into what can become a very theory heavy topic. I basically just give them the blood smear and a microscope. I tell them to find the blood cells (a challenge, coz they're so small, but they can do it!), and then to find the ones with purple inside them. Draw them. Draw them large (half a page each). Label as much as you can. What's the purple stuff? How can you tell? And so on. They love the challenge, the variety, the element of the unknown, the discovery…
Ugh. 8 period day tomorrow, just to round the week off nicely. Good news, I end it with Year 7 fully indulging their pyromaniac tendencies!
Ta ra.

#2: Clean...Your Cleaners.
All year you've used them to keep up with your messes and to take care of your dishes, clothes, and floor. Now it's time to give your cleaners a little TLC.
- The Vacuum: Wipe it down, inside and out, and change out the filter. If your vacuum doesn't have a HEPA filter, you might want to consider upgrading to help remove more dust and allergens.
- Dishwasher: Wipe the inside and out, and take a cottonswab to the area around the door to improve the seal. Then, run the dishwasher on an empty cycle with vinegar instead of soap.
- Washing Machine: Clean off the agitator, the door, and the outside, then run a warm cycle with no clothes, adding vinegar to the wash.
#3: Clean the Walls.
Walls often get overlooked, but they need some attention, too! Cleaning the walls may be a little time consuming, but it's usually easy. Grab a microfiber cloth, some water, and a little bit of (low-sudsing) dish soap, and go for it!
#4: Declutter.
The house will feel so much cleaner when the clutter is gone. Don't be afraid to give away and throw away things you don't use, clothes that don't fit, or anything you don't love.
Once you're decluttered, if you make maintenance a priority, the house will look neat and tidy. Get the kids involved in putting things away when they finish with them, too. Make them the Clutter Patrol for a little bit of free help!
#5: Clean Out the Fridge.
It's time for fresh fruits and vegetables and a clean start, and that means clearing out the fridge. Throw away expired food and wipe down the inside and outside of the fridge to start fresh!

Creating music
The beauty of project work is the collaboration we have from the children and the families. The children are so invested in the project that they continue to add, ask questions, and tell families what they have done with the current project.
On Monday, a child brought in a book that had a classic children's song in it. She shows it off to her friends. She then says, "Look! This is the coolest part!!" She then turns to the back page and shows off the staff filled with musical notes. She encourages a friend to join and the two girls re-create a staff based on the staff from the book. They then take their work over to the xylophone and play the keys.

Firstly, any game that lets you pick up and use lamp posts as weapons is GOTY, obvs. But let's bring it back a sec.
Daemon X Machina is set in a world where the AI caused half the moon to crash into the Earth and leave massive areas of barren wasteland. Which is where we get to SMASH robots with our robots. Missions are basically divided into either smashing something, or investigating something - followed by smashing something else. You may notice a lot of smashing so far. The evil AI are trying to do something or other, and it is up to us and a bunch of other Outer mercenaries to put a stop to their nefarious plans.
Your mech, or "Arsenal" (despite the fact that they can actually win a match, ha ha) can have armour parts and weapons swapped out in the hanger ready for missions, or even left devoid of weapons and sent into the frag to use only what you can scavenge from other downed Arsenals. The variety comes from the different weapons you equip and how well you deploy them, and at the start of the game you have few to choose from. Scavenge parts, buy them from the shop, whichever gets you the better parts faster. You are also able to level up your Outer ("human") with different abilities, which then improves the interface with your Arsenal and therefore attributes in battle.
There are two types of mission: Offer and Free. Offer furthers the story, free missions can be undertaken repeatedly to gain money and parts. Multiplayer only exists as Co-op right now, local and online, although there is talk of bringing something competitive in a little later on.
The small screen in handheld mode is not ideally suited to the game but is sufficient. I generally prefer TV mode though.
Oh and there is a weapon you get at the start that has an auto-fire mode. That is very useful I find, even though it does make missions a tad easier.
So far, DxM is putting up a strong fight and keeping me off Monster Hunter AND No Man's Sky.

WASHINGTON — A hot air balloon that went down in a fiery crash in a Texas pasture, killing all 16 people on board, likely struck a power line, an investigator said on Sunday.
NTSB official Robert Sumwalt said it was not clear if fire broke out before or after the balloon apparently touched electrical wires, NBC reported. A power line runs prominently across the field.
The US National Transportation Safety Board, taking the lead in investigating Saturday's crash, was asking the public for any cell phone videos of the incident.
Investigators were also hoping to retrieve evidence from 14 devices -- phones, cameras and an iPad -- recovered from the crash site, the Austin American-Statesman newspaper said.
It was one of the deadliest hot air balloon crashes in history. Collisions with power lines are a leading cause of hot air balloon accidents.
Identifying the victims will be "a long process," the Caldwell County (Texas) sheriff's office said in a statement.
"Our goal is not to solve it this week," Sumwalt said.
"Our goal while being on scene is to collect the perishable evidence" and ultimately determine "why it happened so that we can keep it from happening again", he added.
CNN and local media identified the balloon's pilot as Alfred "Skip" Nichols, owner of Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides.
They said Nichols owned at least three balloons, one well-known in the area for sporting a huge yellow smiley face against a red, white and blue background.
A photo on Facebook showed him piloting a balloon with a large wicker basket holding more than a dozen passengers.
CNN quoted Alan Lirette, who worked for the company and said he had helped load the passengers on Saturday, as confirming Nichols' death and saying there were no children aboard. He said Nichols was a close friend and a "great pilot".
The Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are assisting in the inquiry.
NTSB experts will first examine "the operation of the balloon, the pilot, the company that operated the balloon," Sumwalt said.
The balloon burst into flames and plummeted to earth soon after dawn outside the town of Lockhart, some 50 kilometers south of Austin, the FAA said in a statement.
Weather did not appear to be a problem -- temperatures were moderate and wind was light.
"I didn't see the balloon hit. I just heard the popping. And I heard the popping, and then the next thing I knew is the fireball went up," Margaret Wylie, 66, who witnessed the crash, told broadcaster TWC News Austin.
The 16 deaths make the balloon accident the deadliest on record in the United States. Previously, the highest number of fatalities in a single US hot air balloon crash was six. — AFP

Happy Monday everyone!
We like to lead a healthy lifestyle, we eat healthy and take care of our figures by exercising regularly. We try not to compromise our style, and stay fashionable even while sweating at the gym. If we make an effort to infuse fashion into our sportswear why not do the opposite as well: infuse comfort into our fashion wear! We did so by turning some of our favorite sportswear items into chic wardrobe staples that can be worn just about anywhere!
Sportswear and ready to wear have been mixing a lot recently, from designer collaborations at the big athletic clothes brands (case in point Stella McCartney for Adidas), to sneakers that sport the trendiest prints and colors. What's not to love about a trend that doesn't only look good but is also so easily wearable, flattering and comfortable!
Rony wore vintage pink running shorts with a striped button down blouse, gray oversized jacket and beige and pink flats.
Rony's super short shorts look great with oversized items on top, so as not to reveal too much skin.
Vera wore an Adidas pencil skirt, striped button down blouse, yellow jacket, studded belt and studded flats.
Vera's look is ready to tackle a long day at the office.

The Pollard Theatre
Pollard Theatre Company is a professional resident theatre recognized by patrons, critics and artists as one of the leading theatrical producers in central Oklahoma. The Pollard typically presents six major shows in a year-round season that demonstrates versatility and excellence in artistic standards, while respectfully challenging artist, audience and community alike.
The Pollard enjoys a legacy of presenting some of the highest calibre talent in the region: performers who are also featured on the numerous stages in the Oklahoma City area, as well as faculty and emerging artists from local universities. Initially formed as a resident theatre company, our sense of 'company' now extends to the pool of local talent. Under the artistic leadership of W. Jerome Stevenson, the Pollard Theatre Company has established itself as an artistic haven for many of the state's most gifted theatre performers. Many of these are favorite artists who consistently return to the Pollard due to its professional standards, production quality and production philosophy, and have come to consider the Pollard their creative home. While Broadway and the larger production houses trend toward spectacle and grand production values, the Pollard's artistic focus is on the narrative. We believe that what audience members want is to get invested in the characters and the story, to have that moment of "I know that situation, I know those people, I know that conflict." If we make the narrative sing, the audience will take away a better understanding of themselves, of their neighbors, of their own lives and of the "shared human experience." We believe that in addition to it's ability to attract the highest calibre artists, the Pollard production philosophy, quality and diversity has helped it develop larger and ever more sophisticated audience.
Pollard Theatre's mission is to produce professional theatre that engages and inspires Oklahoma's audiences; and contributes to the quality of life and economy of our community and state.

We see at the moment this flurry of untruthful, slanderous, biased, vicious attacks against Hindus and Narendra Modi & we think that it's not possible that they are concerted, organized & centralised. Outwardly maybe, but from what Sri Aurobindo called the occult level they are. The hostile occult forces or asuras & assuring, need a vehicle to manifest themselves upon earth and do harm against the dharmic forces. For sure at the moment, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, perhaps unwittingly or unconsciously, is that vehicle, that instrument, that occult and invisible link around which all the attacks originate. This conclave or Think-Tank, where all the enemies of @NarendraModi and a Dharmic India will converge, is only the outer form of invisible nefarious forces.
I am sure you know the story of Prithviraj Chauhan & Muhammad Ghori of Afghanistan. Ghori attacked India multiple times, but he was first routed in present day Gujarat by Mularaja-II, then in Kayadara near Mount Abu, in 1178 A.D, where he was also resoundingly defeated. In the first battle of Taraori in 1191, Prithviraj Chauhan's cavalry charged and wiped out the Afghan cavalry and captured Ghori. Ghori begged for his life and Prithviraj, like a true Hindu, allowed him to go, despite his generals begging him not to do so.
The very next year, however, Ghori re-attacked Prithiviraj with a stronger army and defeated him by attacking the Rajput army before daybreak. (Hindus followed a noble practice of battling only from sunrise up to sunset). The defeated Prithiviraj was taken as a captive to Ghor in Afghanistan, where first his eyes were burnt with red hot iron rods, as he looked at Muhammad Ghori straight into the eyes, and then executed. Thus ended the story of the brave but unrealistic Prithviraj Chouhan – the last Hindu ruler of Delhi, which was to remain under Muslim rule for the next 700 years till 1857, and under British rule till 1947. And since 1947, until Narendra Modi came to power, it has been mostly ruled by the Gandhi dynasty, who think of India as their fiefdom, the same way the Moghols and the English did.
Is the story of Hindu blind and foolhardy tolerance over? Not at all! As many of you know, when Mr Vajpayee came to power, he gave orders to leave Sonia Gandhi alone. His Friday man, Brajesh Mishra, is even said to have rescued Rahul Gandhi, when he was caught in the US with a suitcase full of cash. Did it earn Sonia Gandhi's gratitude? No at all! The BJP lost the next elections, as Prithrivaj lost his next battle to Ghauri and Mrs Gandhi efficiently and ruthlessly went all out after the BJP, and particularly against, Mr @NarendraModi. She may have even known about the bombs in Bihar, during his election campaign, that could have killed him and jeopardized the entire future of India.
Maybe Mr Modi thought that Mrs Gandhi was down and that there was no point in finishing her, but already we have seen how the PM was not able to pass important crucial bills in Parliament, which has been held to ransom by Mrs Gandhi, who has only 44 MP's, a hijack of the democratic system if there is one…
Since coming to power, the PM seems to be showing lenience and have no bitterness towards those who even savagely went after him when he was CM of Gujarat – including Sonia Gandhi, whom he greets on her birthday, as if she is his oldest friend. Nevertheless, it is my belief that as long as Sonia Gandhi is in India, she will be a danger to @NarendraModi, as she is the only one around whom not only the Congress can focus, but also other hostile forces, as we are seeing in a very acute manner at the moment.
We should alI beg the PM not to repeat the mistake of Prithviraj Chauhan, which cost India so dearly. He of all men, must have understood the discourse of Lord Krishna to Arjuna: that when Untruth roams upon the land, the Media, the intellectuals, the historians the Opposition are in the hands of occult hostile forces, it is all right to be ruthless.

So far this bloke has been shown the door by the chooks, used as a stalking horse by the cows and passed in by the tiges. Surely even the current RA couldn't fall for the three pea trick when the pea is under the only cup?? Wants o play fullback after showing he's pretty lazy at centre. Without Cronk, Keary and Cordner putting him in space I'd rare him a 50/50 chance of turning out the end buy of 2020.
A young WA cricketer on the way up. All-rounder who gets the nod from Rhino Harris, which is good enough for me
Hopefully gets managed well and avoids injuries early.
WA all-rounder Cameron Green could be the most perfect cricketer Australia has produced
By Clint Thomas
Updated Tue at 4:45pm
If you were building a prototype for the perfect cricketer, it would be hard to go past emerging Australian all-rounder Cameron Green.
He can bat in the top six, bowl at more than 140 kilometres per hour and has had to quickly become used to being sledged by his opponents, after former Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris recently said he was Australia's answer to former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.
... It was high praise for the 20-year-old, but if anybody understands what the 2-metre-tall Green is capable of it is Harris, who has worked with the all-rounder as Australia's high-performance coach.
"I spent quite a lot of time with Ryan up in Brisbane," Green said.
"It is incredibly nice the things he said about that, but I think I have made a couple of scores, so I am not looking too far ahead."
... Although back soreness has temporarily stopped him bowling, Green's batting in pressure situations has become crucial for Western Australia.
In four Sheffield Shield matches this season he has scored 394 runs at an average of 65.66, including a match-saving, unbeaten 121 against Queensland at the Gabba.
In the most recent Shield match against South Australia he hit a career-best 126 in the first innings.
He also has a bowling average of 21.53 from 11 first-class games. ...

Have to smile about the game being promoted by the Western Force and Global Rapid Rugby (as we saw it in the NRC).
Western Force average >40 points per game (with many of the games being only 70 minutes).
Average points scored by Super Rugby conferences as follows:
23 points - Australia (inc Sunwolves) (Best Brumbies - 27 pts/game)
24 points - Sth Africa (Best Jaguares - 30 pts)
27 points - New Zealand (Best Crusaders - 31 pts)
No wonder I found SR so boring!!

Why a Sugar Land resident sent his resume to ISIS
A Sugar Land resident is one of the individuals named in a study that identified 64 Americans who tried to join extremist groups in Syria and Iraq since 2011.
Warren Clark, 33, sent a resume and cover letter asking to become an English teacher for ISIS, according to the George Washington University study, which obtained thousands of pages of documents from U.S. District Court cases.
"I am looking to get a position teaching English to students in the Islamic State," began Clark's cover letter, which used the alias Abu Muhammad al-Ameriki.
"I was born and raised in the United States and have always loved teaching others and learning from others as well," the letter continued. "My work background is largely in English and I consider working at the University of Mosul to be a great way of continuing my career."
WITNESS DRAWING: 'Cartoonish' police sketch helps police identify suspect
It is unclear when the job application was sent.
Clark, a 2008 University of Houston graduate and former Sugar Land resident, was highlighted by the study as one of the few travelers who did not seek a combat role within the Islamic State.
More Information
Why a Sugar Land resident sent his resume to ISIS.
Seamus Hughes, deputy director of the program that produced the study, told NBC Clark's resume and cover letter were found in a home in Iraq that had been controlled by ISIS fighters until July 2017. Hughes believes Clark is still alive and successfully joined ISIS.

Barriers to the uptake of evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses: a systematic review of decision makers' perceptions. John Wallace Bosah Nwosu Mike Clarke 10779/rcsi.10783268.v1 https://repository.rcsi.com/articles/journal_contribution/Barriers_to_the_uptake_of_evidence_from_systematic_reviews_and_meta-analyses_a_systematic_review_of_decision_makers_perceptions_/10783268
OBJECTIVE: To review the barriers to the uptake of research evidence from systematic reviews by decision makers.

SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched 19 databases covering the full range of publication years, utilised three search engines and also personally contacted investigators. Reference lists of primary studies and related reviews were also consulted.

SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies were included if they reported on the views and perceptions of decision makers on the uptake of evidence from systematic reviews, meta-analyses and the databases associated with them. All study designs, settings and decision makers were included. One investigator screened titles to identify candidate articles then two reviewers independently assessed the quality and the relevance of retrieved reports.

DATA EXTRACTION: Two reviewers described the methods of included studies and extracted data that were summarised in tables and then analysed. Using a pre-established taxonomy, the barriers were organised into a framework according to their effect on knowledge, attitudes or behaviour.

RESULTS: Of 1726 articles initially identified, we selected 27 unique published studies describing at least one barrier to the uptake of evidence from systematic reviews. These studies included a total of 25 surveys and 2 qualitative studies. Overall, the majority of participants (n=10 218) were physicians (64%). The most commonly investigated barriers were lack of use (14/25), lack of awareness (12/25), lack of access (11/25), lack of familiarity (7/25), lack of usefulness (7/25), lack of motivation (4/25) and external barriers (5/25).

CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review reveals that strategies to improve the uptake of evidence from reviews and meta-analyses will need to overcome a wide variety of obstacles. Our review describes the reasons why knowledge users, especially physicians, do not call on systematic reviews. This study can inform future approaches to enhancing systematic review uptake and also suggests potential avenues for future investigation.

We were wondering that very question after reading this month's MashableReads book, B.J. Novak's story collection One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories. Throughout the collection, Novak explores the funny side of life in stories that are sometimes as short as the length of a tweet.
Inspired by Novak's pithiness, we asked readers to write a short story in a single tweet for this month's MashableReads challenge. Submissions ranged from quippy tales of millennial misadventures to poetic musings on love and death. Our favorite submissions won signed copies of One More Thing or the chance to participate in our MashableReads Google Hangout with B.J. Novak.

Create a new experience with God by turning off a noisy world.
Listen, by Rueben P. Job, is a 40-day experience created to offer help to those new to prayer, those with a daily prayer routine, and those whose lives seem too busy to pray. With a focus on listening prayer and prayer as a two-way conversation, the experience will assist individuals and groups in building and deepening a personal prayer practice and spiritual discernment.
As we learn to listen, we find a new depth and fulfillment in our relationship with God and a new experience of God as guide and companion in our lives. The daily prayer pattern includes an invitation, silence, Bible reading, a story, guided time for reflecting and listening, and practical help for developing six specific prayer practices.
Listen is perfect for use by individuals, small groups, or congregations during Lent, Easter, or any time of year.
This DVD consists of six videos, one per session, containing interviews with a diverse group of people who have made prayer and listening for God's voice a part of their daily lives and work.
All video sessions are closed captioned.
