SMART scholarship helps recent grad succeed
Thursday, August 1, 2019
Leo Reges graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma State University in May with a computer science degree and minors in math and German. The SMART scholarship he received led to a job at Tinker Air Force Base right after graduation.
“It stands for ‘Science, Mathematics And Research for Transformation’ and it is a program in which students apply for a scholarship through the Department of Defense,” he said. “What it entails is they give you a stipend so that you can live. They also pay for your school.”
Reges started out as a history major but soon switched to computer science when he was unable to find many scholarships. While he always had an interest in computers, he never realized he would one day be working in a secure area for the United States government. He works mostly with codes and programing but everything he does is to support our country’s aircraft and defend our nation.
“Now that I have graduated, I have started working at Tinker Air Force Base in the software maintenance group,” Reges said. “I am not completely lost, because as part of the SMART scholarship they have you do a paid internship over the summer. So, you learn the ropes.”
Before graduating, Reges was heavily involved with the OSU German Club, serving as both the treasurer and vice president. He also worked at German Online, teaching high school students from all over the country about a language and a culture that he loves.
“I chose German because my family is German, so I have a background in the language,” he said. “I also think that taking a foreign language opens one’s mind to a whole new world of possibilities.”
Reges recommends that everyone take a class outside of their comfort zone. For him, it was an art history course that changed the way he views the world and ignited a passion to travel and see the art in person.
“It ended up opening a whole new world,” Reges said. “It was entirely fascinating. It gives you a whole new context to see things. Taking an art history class means that if you do make a trip to a country such as Italy, Greece or France, you know what you are looking at when you go to all the famous sites.”
Reges has a three-year commitment at Tinker Air Force Base, one year for every year he received the SMART scholarship. He has considered staying at Tinker following his commitment but is also open to a variety of other opportunities.
“If I wanted to stay working with the Department of Defense, I could get transferred
to literally any military base in the world most likely,” Reges said. “I would love
to travel. I would love to go back to Germany. I would love to explore other things.
I would like to spend time familiarizing myself with new things and creating new and

30 April 2013
President Benigno S. Aquino III challenged the workers and investors to celebrate the Labor Day as a commemoration of the Filipino workers’ toil for making a productive year, as he led the Pre-Labor Day Dialogue with various labor groups and other government agencies.
In his response to the labor issues presented by the participating groups, President Aquino mentioned that solutions will arise in a long-term basis. But he insisted that the administration is working on its goals to sustain and generate jobs, to enhance the skills of the workers and to implement laws for the security and protection of these workers.
The President cited a few of the actions that had been taken to resolve some of the country’s labor problems today, such as the implementation of the market information service to avoid job mismatch, the allocation of P900 million for the Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) and the Private Education Student Financial Assistance Program (PESFA), and the signing of Executive Order 134 and 135 to balance the Employees Compensation Benefits for the private and public sectors.
Attendees of the event were Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, members of the Cabinet and other departments, and 19 different labor groups coming from the Tripartite Industrial Peace Council and Tripartite Executive Committee.

Imo, who wins the power consumption race will win the ASIC race in the long term.
The difference between the Gh/$ and the Gh/W is the difference between short-term and long-term decisions (buying the device vs operating the device).
In the short term I'm interested in buying the device with the best Gh/$ so I can recoup the initial costs faster. But what happens after I get my money back in 6 months, 12 months, etc.? Do I still mine with it? That decision will be made on power consumption costs, in other words I will keep operating the device if electricity costs per Gh are below profits obtained from a Gh mined.
In the context of bitcoin, terms such as 'short-term' and 'long-term' do not have the same meanings as we might normally attribute to them. For bitcoin, just a few weeks or months can have significant shakeups: BTC exchange rates, new products or services being introduced, major exchanges or businesses being hacked or exposed as scams, new government regulations being introduced.
Planning anything in the bitcoin realm beyond half a dozen months, let alone a year, is rolling the dice.
How long did CPU mining last once it became mainstream, before it was obsoleted by GPU mining? How long did GPU mining last before it was obsoleted by FPGAs? And by 'obsoleted' I don't mean 'unprofitable'. After all, GPU mining is still profitable (but CPU mining is not). I simply mean that a device has been introduced that is significantly more efficient in terms of GH/W and in terms of GH/$. And how long did FPGA mining last now that ASICs are around the corner?
All of these technologies (CPU, GPU, FPGA) lasted roughly a year. I was a small-time GPU miner back in July of 2011. I ordered BFL FPGAs as soon as they were announced. My first pair of Singles was mining in March, merely 7 months ago. I don't expect them to be mining come January, however.
Not that they will no longer be profitable ... they will ... but consider this: with a difficulty of 3 million, an FPGA Single makes $3/day while using $0.15 in electricity. This is quite efficient. Let's say that by the end of January enough ASICs will have been installed to drive the difficulty up 5x, to 15 million. In that environment, my FPGA Single will only be making $0.30 per day (1/5th due to difficulty increase, another 1/2 due to block reward dropping to 25BTC/block), but still requiring $0.15 in electricity.
So my FPGA profit will drop from about $2.85/day down to $0.15/day. Still a profit, but it would be silly to continue mining with such a device. Would I want to live with the heat and noise and wasting of space for a mere $0.15/day? Nope. I'd rather sell it. Or, if I couldn't sell it, I'd throw it away ... even though it was technically 'profitable'. Profitability is not the only criterion for determining whether to continue mining or not; there are many other variables to consider.
Same with GPU mining. GPU mining today is still technically 'profitable'. But to earn more than a few dollars a day after paying for electricity would require a large amount of GPUs. If they were quiet, and cool, and reliable, and didn't take up space, I would be happy to run them in a cupboard somewhere earning spare change. But they are nothing of the sort. I would not tolerate putting up with a bunch of GPUs unless they were generating significant profit. In today's environment, unless electricity is free, mining with GPUs is something I have no interest in.
Come January, FPGAs will be in the same boat as GPUs are today. As to my previous example of a BFL Single earning $0.15/day after the block reward cut and a 5x increase in difficulty: the ROI at $0.15/day would be ridiculous.
And back to OT, I would not personally be too concerned if the bASIC consumed 1.5x, or 2x, or 3x the power of BFL's offering; I think the 'short-term' profitability of all 1st-gen ASIC devices will be high enough that electricity costs (whether $0.10/day or $0.50/day) will be insignificant relative to gross profit. If you are looking for an ROI of 6-9 months, you will very likely achieve it regardless of power consumption. Higher power consumption would have mostly a logistical effect: how many I can run off a single wall outlet.
Only when the 'next generation' of hardware comes out, again with significant GH/$ advantage over these 1st-gen ASICs, will power consumption play anything more than a minor role. And is history is any indication, that could happen in the latter half of next year.

Autosomal recessive nonsense mutation in the NDRG1 gene on chromosome 8q24 has been reported to be causative for HMSNL. Founder mutation is C to T transition in exon 7 at mRNA nucleotide position 564 that results in replacement of arginine by translation termination signal at codon position 148 (R148) (11).

A deficit of emerin or lamins Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical A/C is related to a very rare, genetically transmitted, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD). Even if the defect is generalized to all tissues selleckbio skeletal muscle, heart and joints are selectively affected. Muscle atrophy, joint contractures, and dilated cardiomyopathy are the leading symptoms. Cardiac
disease, although often silent, usually precedes skeletal muscle involvement. The pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy in EDMD has not been recognized, yet. Activation of mitogen protein kinase (MAPK) in the development of cardiomyopathy has already been suggested (1, 2). Activation of Entinostat MAPK in a mice model of EDMD, prior to cardiomyopathy has been described (3, 4). The question is, if it is the basic abnormality, which leads to the development of cardiac disease in human EDMD. Other mechanism(s) should be also taken into account. It is already known that in a subset of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), autoimmune mechanism(s) are involved (5–1,1). In EDMD, autoimmune mechanism(s) may also participate in evoking DCM.

The external wall thermal insulation technology of thermal insulation nail manufacturers has not been promoted in the construction field in this area for a long time. Thermal insulation project is familiar with all aspects of design, construction and supervision, and the construction team has not yet specialized qualification management. Supervision and acceptance standards are not matched, and a large proportion of technical product suppliers do not have on-site technical service capacity, which forms multi-level and complex conditions prone to defects in construction quality, especially in the construction process. Jiangjin thermal insulation nail Chongqing thermal insulation material according to the relevant regulations strict thermal insulation construction management is very important. The complete external thermal insulation technical scheme, construction scheme, on-site construction record card and working contact units of individual projects have the basic management functions to enable the developer, the construction contractor, the supervisor and the technical supplier to reach a consensus and jointly implement, construction and construction should be completed in time as the main management content.

In December in Henan, the temperature in the early morning has also reached below zero. In order to ensure the construction quality in winter, a large pedestal insulation shed is set up in the precast beam field, which provides a closed space for the steam maintenance of the precast beam and keeps the temperature around the beam relatively stable. The temperature in the thermal insulation shed was monitored and recorded in real time every 2 hours, and Li Gai, a young supervisor, took the initiative to undertake the inspection work in the latter part of the night.
Mr. Zhou of Chongqing drove to work and drove to an uphill section where he was suddenly blinded by a strong light, so he freed up a hand to adjust the front window visor. As soon as he left the steering wheel, he heard a loud noise and his car suddenly crashed into the big truck in front of him.
Judging from the trend in the past five years, digital technology has a profound impact on the development of the construction industry. Cloud computing, big data, Internet of things, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence and other business processes are getting closer and closer, and the integration of business IT has had a greater and greater impact on the construction industry. Business IT integration is to embed the technical capabilities into the business, with the business supervisor as the person in charge, and the business staff and technicians work together to form a digital team. Technological capability is one of the core competencies of an enterprise, but it is attached to people and cannot be assembled and used at will like tools, so digital transformation needs to carry human capabilities through the change of organizational mode. China State Construction Corporation in 2016-2018 is committed to building an open enterprise Internet platform based on private cloud with brand-new ideas and ideas, and the people involved in it all feel that the digitization of the construction industry is far below expectations.

Portland’s Housing Supply: What Kind, Where? 2022 Report
The continuing real estate topic at the forefront of everyone’s focus is the shortage of single-family homes. And not just in Portland, but across the entire country. Demand will likely remain high (at least for single family detached homes) while the real estate market slows down. New construction has slowed significantly for both single-family and multi-family housing, due to supply chain issues and a shortage of laborers (and more recently due to increased borrowing costs).
Curious about what Portland’s housing supply will look like in the future? How single-family homes and multiple unit dwellings will shake out? And what about homeowners versus renters?
We reviewed the numbers from the past decade, the current numbers, and new legislation to see what we could learn about the potential housing futures of Portland residents.
Average Age of a Home in Portland
We first looked to the U.S. Census to see the average age of homes across the U.S. 13.5% of the country’s housing was built before 1940 with an additional 19% 1940 to 1950.
In Portland, 35% of the city’s housing was built before 1940, with another 10% being added between 1940-50. The same trend continued for the next four decades, according to the 2011 Amendment to the Housing Supply Analysis (HSA) report.
By the 1990s, nearly all of Multnomah County had been incorporated into Portland and Gresham, the last sizable portion of buildable land. After this, growth slowed down. Portland added 15% of its total housing stock between 1980-2000. Since then, only 6% of new housing supply has been added, with most new construction in Portland being apartment complexes rather than single-family homes.
Portland has been in a holding pattern since the pandemic, and construction has slowed even more. That said, though, there’s potential for more in the form of a new single family subdivision proposed at the old Alpenrose Dairy location and the recent approval of more legally allowable ADUs throughout the city.
Many of the homes we see on the market in Portland today were built during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Some can pass for new builds due to the large percentage of them with extensive updates and renovations. In general, these homes were well-constructed but might need some extra attention to achieve a better Home Energy Score, something now required for all Portland homes that get listed, no matter their age.
Where the Single-Family Homes are in Portland
While Portland is segmented into four basic quadrants, divided by Burnside Avenue running east to west and the Willamette River running north to south, real estate agents parse the city into seven subareas. On the west side of the Willamette River, you have Northwest, Downtown, Southwest, and South Portland. On the east side of the Willamette, you have North, Northeast, and Southeast.
Each section of Portland has its own unique housing profile. Southeast Portland contains nearly 30% of all housing units in the city, according to the HSA report. This is significant, considering that this area of Portland comprises only 15% of the city’s land area. Downtown Portland’s housing units consist mostly of apartments, a bit over 4% of Portland’s total housing stock. North Portland has a significant industrial portion and so covers about 26% of the city’s land area with about 10% of the city’s housing.
How Portland’s Housing Profile is Changing
The degree of homeownership in a neighborhood can indicate its level of stability. Historically, Portland has had fewer homeowners than the national average.
According to the in-depth 2020 State of Housing Report put out by the Portland Housing Bureau, ownership decreased slightly from 53.4% in 2013 to 53.1% in 2018. Rentership increased slightly from 46.6 percent in 2013 to 46.9 percent in 2018. This indicates that Portland could be moving toward an even split between homeowner households and renter households.
Of course, this is a big picture view of the entire city, with each neighborhood having its own owner/renter ratio, some with numbers above national averages.
Where the Housing Supply Stands, U.S. vs. Portland and Apartments vs. Homes
When did a breakdown of the configuration of all housing units across the country and compared them to Portland.
According to information from the U.S. Census Bureau, taken from the Survey of Construction, funded in part by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the following national data was collected for 2021.
Homes Constructed in 2021
- Total homes constructed—970,000
- Homes constructed with three bedrooms—320,000
- Homes constructed with four bedrooms—444,000
Homes Sold in 2021
- Total homes sold—771,000
- Homes sold with three bedrooms—303,000
- Homes sold with four bedrooms—417,000
The U.S. Census Bureau also reported that a total of 371,000 multi-family units were competed nationally in 2021 with a breakdown as follows.
- 160,000 had one bedroom
- 35,000 had three bedrooms or more
- 369,000 were conventional apartments
- 3,000 were townhouses
- 225,000 were in buildings with four floors or more
Learn more about the breakdowns across the country for single-family and multi-family construction numbers with year-to-date comparisons for 2021 and 2022.
We looked at the numbers for new construction permits in Portland for 2021 and the first half of 2022. We appear to be on track to at least duplicate the numbers we saw in 2021.
|All of 2021
|First Half of 2022
For multi-family new construction permits in Portland, at half-way through the year, we’re on track to match the number under review from 2021 and close to that with issued permits. But so far, finaled projects right now are at about a third of what we saw in 2021.
|All of 2021
|First Half of 2022
Changes in the Portland Housing Supply
To gain even more perspective on Portland’s current housing situation, it helps to look back to a time when the city was booming with new construction.
Based on data from the SHR, building permitting and production peaked in 2017 and hit an historic high. At that time, the city granted over 6,000 permits and builders turned out 8,000 units. Following this apex, both permitting and production started to decline in 2018. Because permitting exceeded production levels that year, additional growth came in 2019 when the previously approved permitted projects were carried out. Multi-family construction decreased to 2,343 units that year. For single-family homes, 693 permits were granted with 546 units produced.
How Renovations Change the Face of Portland’s Neighborhood Housing Profiles
Portland’s housing stock is dominated by two- and three-bedroom homes, with two-bedroom homes coming out slightly ahead: 80,000, compared to 78,000 three-bedroom homes. Another 28,000 Portland homes are four or more bedrooms.
Most of Portland’s housing demands are for smaller amounts of people per household. This means that many larger, already-existing homes can be converted to multiplexes, increasing the city’s number of available housing units. Portland’s zoning and housing codes have been updated recently to allow for such renovations (see below).
Oregon Housing Legislation, Recent Policies that Affect Portland’s Residential Aesthetic
With a growing population of 641,162, as of the most recent U.S. Census report, Portland needs more housing. Strides are being made to manage Portland’s housing issues by way of legislation.
- House Bill 2001—In 2019, Oregon passed House Bill 2001, which bans single-family zoning in cities with populations over 10,000. This means that Portland can no longer prevent developments with multiple units, even in neighborhoods with mostly single-family detached houses.
- Residential Infill Project (RIP1)—In August of 2020, Portland City Council voted in the first phase of the Residential Infill Project. This means that single-family homeowners with ample lot space can add more housing to their properties.
- Design Overlay Amendments (DOZA)—In June of 2021, this amendment updated the City of Portland’s design review process and regulatory tools. This means projects can move through the permitting process more quickly and have design flexibility. The resulting new zoning codes and map changes went into effect on August 1, 2021.
The Future of Portland’s Housing Supply is more High-Rise Apartments and ADUs
With all the strife and struggles Portland has seen over the past couple of years, some are writing the city off as unfixable. But many others aren’t buying the gloom and doom scenario. In fact, we stand to see a few new apartment complexes cropping up within the city’s boundaries.
One is a proposed new 337-unit complex in the Pearl District at the corner of NW 9th and Hoyt. Another is the proposed Zeal Lofts at NW 23rd and Marshall, as well as a 266-unit building in the South Waterfront District.
Also, according to the June, 2022 update from Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, an update to RIP1, RIP2 allows for an even greater expansion of the original plan, for “attached houses and cottage clusters across all neighborhoods,” effective June 30, 2022.
Given this, some people might be concerned about Portland becoming overbuilt with structures that will diminish the charm of the city. But the City of Portland is committed to an aesthetic that maintains its historic character and beauty.
Take a look at the Craftsman homes below, all now currently on the market, and see what we mean. Can you tell which are new, old, or renovated at a glance?
Portland is facing some housing challenges and going through some changes, yes. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t solvable. According to the 2021 Regional Housing Needs Analysis Report, the city will need 583,600 new dwelling units between 2020 and 2040. It’s possible to meet these needs and maintain and embellish the city’s aesthetic charm at the same time, but it is a real challenge.

Over 100 physical pharmacy locations are now administering vaccines in Virginia. Most are offering theirs in-store like CVS and Walgreens, but Walmart is holding off-site community clinics.
CVS and pharmacies falling under the ownership of Albertsons (Safeway) are still using their own system to register Virginians over the age of 65. So you might want to check continually check their websites for a chance to get a vaccine quicker.

Readers of the blog Joy The Baker
know that Joy Wilson has a thing for sweet and salty (and really, who doesn't?), but in her new book Joy the Baker Homemade Decadence
, the self-taught baker puts a clever twist on the pairing. The crunchy salinity of pretzels is just the thing you never knew a rich chocolate cake needed. Salted peanut butter buttercream frosting is more than the icing on the cake—it's the finishing touch that sends this dessert into OMG territory.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Recent community posts
Super unique idea! I really like the chess with the OSU like minigame. Cool that each piece has its own patterns. I feel like the dragging parts were a little finnicky and unfortunately like 75% of the way through the game it kind of just stopped. Really nice work though!
This games visuals are amazing! Absolutely love the art-style. I quite liked the secret stuff once I was able to figure it out but it took me a while. The first time I played I used the flashlight lap 2 but it went out right as I saw something. Then I tried to get it again but only got windups. I refreshed and played it again and then liked it! Overall good work!
The only horror game I have seen which is quite unique! Despite its creepy theme the idea of it is pretty funny. But coots is super creepy, I love the way she tracks you around the room. However I felt like the movement controls were fairly rough and after missing a few jumps I felt more frustrated then scared. Still though really good job with this one!
Really great game! The pixel art is wonderful and I really like the way battles work, super cool idea. I managed to beat the final boss with just one health left! If I had one small critique I would rather you choose your attacks with the keyboard rather than the mouse since you don't use it anywhere else in the game. But that's just a small thing everything else I really liked!
First of all I love the character art, its super cute. Also the idea of the game and mechanics is really unique and fun. It took me a little while to really figure out how to play but once I got the hand of the moves I was able to beat most of the levels. However, as some others mentioned I did get stuck on the long slope level and really couldn't figure out what to do. Additionally I felt like the hitboxes were pretty unforgiving. That being said I think this is a good game and with some adjustments to make it a bit more user friendly would be super awesome. Really great work!
Really loved this game! exploring the city and causing chaos as your power grows was a lot of fun. I like the progression of just learning how to meow to blowing up the moon. The visuals are great and the game is well polished as well. Great work!
Cool idea! I like the visuals especially the effects on the ball that make it glowy and kinda wavy. Its defiantly really hard. I think the movement makes it feel a bit unfair at some points with just how hard to control it is. Overall nice work though!
Cute game! I really like the visuals, the coots sprites are super cute. Gameplay is simple but keeping coots in line defiantly makes it chaotic. When she steals eggs from the table the physics sometimes go a bit crazy, which did result in her getting stuck under the table. Overall really great work!
Lovely idea with some fun puzzles! Its defiantly a bit short but it was well polished and had nice visuals! Breaking stuff is always fun, great work!
Cool roguelike with a really interesting theme! I like all the glitchy effects with the levels enemies and especially the player taking damage. Nice work!
Unique movement mechanics! Though the controls are a bit finnicky / hard to get used too. Nice work!
Really awesome sprite work with the characters! Love the creativity there. The gameplay is nice and I quite like the bosses attack patterns. The difficulty between the first and second phase was quite a big spike through. Overall great work!
Really unique idea! its fun planning out the factory to try and optimize it as much as possible, but its defiantly tough to get everything to go where you want it lol. The pixel art is cute as well. great work!
Simple and fun game! Trying to find all the cheese while avoiding getting caught can be really intense! The controls feel nice and I like the boost. Great work!
Really solid bullet hell boss game! The boss attack patterns were fun and interesting and the upgrades are cool. Also I love the details like the muzzle flash on coots. Great work!
Really great visuals and theme. I'm a sucker for 2D characters in 3D environments lol. The intro and outro are quite nice as well! The gameplay was simple yet fun and defiantly challenging later on. I did find a bug where if yo are dying, pressing space will stop the time slowing down and the game will continue to progress. So if you just span space after death you wont loose. Overall fun experience nice job!
Fun game with some really nice visuals! The movement feels good and precise and there are some really fun level design ideas here! I wish it were a bit longer but really nice game overall! I love the player model its so cute.
Cute game! I like the inclusion of different mechanics. However I'm not sure if its bugged or I couldn't figure it out but nothing would happen after I collected all of the fish. Good work overall though.
Such a creative idea! This game is super awesome and really well polished. The visuals and scenes are amazing and hilarious and the games are fun and all work well with the limited controls. The voice controls had a little delay for me so for some of the games I switched to keyboard but overall it worked well and was a lot of fun. Super great job defiantly a winner!
Cute game with some nice puzzle mechanics. I like the crafting system and how it ties into the other mechanics as well. ITs fun to learn new recipes and I like how you have to read and figure it out for yourself instead of it just showing it to you. Keeping coots fed as well is a nice balance. Great work!
Really cozy vibes with this one. The art is nice and I wish I had a room like that lol. It was fun trying to find all of the different endings. Great work!
Cute and fun game! The mechanic of the sound dealing damage but also provoking attacks is pretty cool, it adds a good extra layer of strategy as well. Nice job!
Really cool bullet hell game with a unique theme! I liked seeing all the different bullet patterns that matched the pieces. It was pretty tough but I started doing better as I learned the patterns. Nice work
Really cute and relaxing game. A good change of pace from playing some other submissions. The art is really cute as well. Great work!!
Simple and fun game with some good art and nice polish! Love the sound and effects pulling out the wires makes. Great job!
the movement is tough at first but once you get used to it its quite fun! online multiplayer is super cool too and the art is fantastic. Really good work all around!
Simple but really fun arcade style game. I love the main gameplay mechanic its a lot of fun running around smacking yarn balls into the enemies. Lots of good juice and feedback as well. Unfortunately the game did bug out on wave 10 and wouldn't spawn any more enemies. Still awesome job overall its a lot of fun!
Simple game with a unique twist. Its fun getting all the upgrades and seeing it get quite hectic later on. Nice work!
Nice simple game with some good polish! The mosaic design of the levels is pretty and its satisfying to watch them all pop up. Nice work!
Interesting and unique twist on classic RPS. It does seem like the best strategy is to pick one and mash as hard as you can. Nice work overall!
Fun game! Its really cool to see all the different enemy types and upgrades, also the intro and outro are really cute! good work.
Really unique idea. Defiantly a relaxing vibe, it was nice drawing in the... litter. Great work!
The art is really cute, I love the little coots sprite. The gameplay was neat and it was cool to discover different strategies. Nice job!
Really love the pixel art in this game. So much detail and all the sprites are so cute. I took me a while to understand how to play but I won on my first attempt without ever loosing a battle. Good work overall!
Really great visuals and a fun challenging platformer. I like the level design as well. Good work!
Love the visuals of this game it looks amazing. The levels are fun with some creative mechanics. Its a bit tough but playing again and again ang getting better and faster is fun. Great work!

Talk about a great CD release party: Southern California singer-songwriter Madison Cunningham will celebrate the release of her major-label debut before a handful of sold-out audiences over the next couple weeks.
She kicks off the party Saturday, Aug. 17 — the day after her Verve Forecast debut “Who Are You Now” drops — with a sold-out show at Tucson’s Rialto Theatre. She’s opening for hometown darlings Calexico and Iron & Wine in her Tucson debut — one of several shows she has with the trio before she hits the road for a dozen dates with Amos Lee.
Saturday’s concert also marks a CD release of sorts for Calexico and Iron & Wine, who released their latest collaboration “Years to Burn” in June.
“I’m a big fan of both of those bands so I think it just miraculously worked out with the time we chose to put out the record,” Cunningham said early this week from home in California.
This summer follows her outing last year with the Punch Brothers, another band she has admired from afar. The big difference this go around: she’s touring with an all-female band.
“To have a full body of work and to have sort of every month until November really packed is truly exciting and a big deal for me and I’m hoping it will serve the record in a substantial way,” she said.
The record’s release comes a year after she recorded it. It was initially set to be released in June, but Cunningham said she and the label decided the timing wasn’t right.
“Who Are you Now” is the 22-year-old Orange County, California, native’s fourth recording in a career that goes back to her debut album in 2014. Cunningham raised $16,949 through a Kickstarter campaign to independently record that album when she was just 17 years old.
“I hope that this record reaches the right people and falls on the right ears,” Cunningham said. “And I hope that it really makes the way for me to keep doing this and keep making more music as long as I can.”
Calexico’s Joey Burns and John Convertino recorded “Years to Burn” with Iron & Wine — aka Sam Beam — in Nashville last December. It was their first collaboration since they teamed up in 2005 on “In the Reins.”
Burns, Convertino and Beam are taking the album on the road, opening their four-month tour in Phoenix Friday, Aug. 16, and winding throughout the United States through October before taking the tour to Europe in November.
Saturday’s concert begins at 8 p.m. at the Rialto, 318 E. Congress St.

Yesterday marked the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. I can distinctly remember the time it happened. Though I lived just forty-five miles away from Memphis where the killing occurred, it might as well have been a thousand miles. I was a card-carrying member of the poor class of American citizens Dr. King went to Memphis to assist in protesting the deplorable working conditions under which the sanitation workers were employed. The workers were underpaid and mistreated in ways no one would wish on their favorite pet.
After fifty years, things have change a lot for the better; however, I must use the trite expression here that’s become common: A lot of progress has made, but more is needed. That statement reminds me that Dr. King’s dream is yet too much only a dream. Many Americans are still dreaming about what could be, while the forces that created the conditions under which the sanitation workers of Memphis worked are continuing to create a nightmare.
When I look back on 1968, I was a poor seventeen-year-old kid at the time of Dr. King’s murder, living in Cross County Arkansas, west across the Mississippi River. I had dreams of carving out a better life for myself than what I was experiencing at the time. Back then I lived in a house without running water, air conditioning and central heat. Life was a challenge to say the least. It was a challenge for many folks I knew, who were existing in the same conditions under which I and my family were living. My meager hope, a few months before Dr. King’s death, was to graduate from the all-black high school I attended and get a job at “the” local factory. That factory was called Halsted’s. Until this day, I’m not sure what was produced at that place. They produced something related to steel. Back then, all I could see was that black folks were working at Halsted’s and making more money than they had ever made in Cross County Arkansas. My fate was about to take a turn I had not imagined.
In the early part of my last semester in senior high school, I was called to the counsellor’s office one day. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why Mr. Shaw wanted to speak with me. I was not a bad kid, never in trouble. Mr. Shaw and I got along well, so why did he want to speak with me? To my surprise, he asked me if I had given any thought to going to college. I told him no. I had no money to pay for college. His response was, “What has that got to do with anything?” I had good grades, and I didn’t know that there were grants, loans and work-study programs available to students like me. This conversation was the beginning of a course change that would steer my life in a different direction than what I had planned. During the fall of 1969, I attended Arkansas AM&N in Pine Bluff, a historically black college. After four years, I graduated from that same school, which had become a part of the University of Arkansas system between my junior and senior year. I was the first in my extended family to attend college.
As the saying goes, to make a long story short, my life has seen me receive a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and having a forty-year career in Arkansas state government, culminating in me retiring from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences as the associate vice chancellor for Human Resources. That’s quite a leap from the dream of working at Halsted’s isn’t it? Dr. King’s sacrifice, as well of the ultimate sacrifice of so many others made my journey from the backwoods of Cross County Arkansas to where I am today.
Too many Americans have only a dream of being somewhere other than where they are. When I open the newspaper in the morning, watch the news on TV, sit for hours in front of my computer on social media, I can’t help but feel that a lot of things have changed, but so much remains the same. The news headlines today would be a disappointment to Dr. King in many ways. Justice, dignity and access to the dreams our country was established to offer its citizens are yet too far out of reach for far too many.
I’m old and blessed…hope you will be too.

On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden announced that the Obama administration will set aside $100 million to bolster mental health services. The announcement comes just four days before the one-year anniversary of the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School — perpetrated by a man with a history of mental illness — and as congressional efforts to advance federal mental health legislation remains stalled.
The $100 million will be used “to increase access to mental health services and improve mental health facilities as part of the Administration’s ongoing commitment to help individuals experiencing mental health problems,” according to a White House statement. Half of the funds will be disbursed through the Affordable Care Act so that community health clinics can ramp up their mental health care services, while the other half will be used to address a lack of available mental health treatment in rural regions.
It should be noted that Americans with mental illnesses are far more likely to harm themselves or be the victims of gun violence than perpetrators of it, despite recent high-profile shootings involving those with mental disorders. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the U.S. mental health safety net is broken, and that the new funds could improve on recent state and Obamacare-sponsored efforts to address the shortcomings.
The newly allocated $50 million for rural mental health services could be particularly useful considering that over 85 percent of areas that the federal government classifies as having a shortage of mental health professionals are in rural regions. “Only in rural America did the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health find entire counties with no practicing psychiatrists, psychologists, or social workers,” wrote researchers in a 2009 report by the Center for Rural Affairs.
New federal efforts to expand mental health funding since Sandy Hook, including the Excellence In Mental Health Act and the Mental Health In Schools Act, haven’t gone anywhere in Congress. However, the health reform law is an important step forward. Obamacare is expected to give 30 million Americans access to mental health services for the first time by requiring insurance plans sold through the health law’s statewide marketplaces to offer it as an “essential benefit.”
And in November, the administration also announced final rules for implementing the 2009 Wellstone-Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act that will force all American insurance companies to cover mental health services in the same way that they do more traditional medical care. That amounts to one of the biggest expansion of mental health services in history and is expected to give another 32 million Americans access to more robust mental health benefits.

Question about Craftsman 118 pc Dual Marked Mechanics Tool Set
Having trouble ideling.
Check the air cleaner, muffler, and fuel filter for any plugging. Check the fuel lines for condition. Make sure the carburetor fasteners are tight. If all are ok, then set the L needle CW to it's stop (lightly), then back out CCW 1-1/2 turns. Start the engine and allow to warm up, then turn the needle CW until the engine runs fairly well, but allows the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Set idle speed screw so that the chain stops moving, but the engine continues to run. Hope this helps!

FROM Carl Wicklund
Tough-on-Crime Policies Overwhelm Shrinking State Budgets Politicians always want to be “tough on crime,” but with states facing budget crises, can they afford to be? As states are forced to shut down prisons, shorten sentences, and lock up fewer criminals, are they making the corrections system more efficient or are they making us less safe? How are “law and order” politicians adapting to the new budget realities of skyrocketing prison costs? Can a cheaper prison system be a better one?
Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder Just days before an election, Britain is coping with a rash of deadly terrorism, and Prime Minister Theresa May is on the defensive. And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
Trump plays scolder-in-chief with NATO allies At the opening of NATO’s dramatic new headquarters in Brussels today, President Trump acknowledged that Article 5 — promising that “an attack on one nation is an attack on all” -- has only been invoked one time: in the aftermath of September 11. But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.
Will the Senate write a healthcare bill in secret? While Democrats and Republicans argue White House relations with Russia, another question is being decided behind closed doors: who gets help buying health insurance and who doesn't? We hear how the pros and cons are being shrouded in secrecy.

Music plays a vital role in our worship here at Indian Hill Church. We have a variety of choirs for singers of all ages to provide leadership and to enrich our 10:30 service. We are fortunate to have talented soloists in our choirs, many of whom are or were voice majors at CCM (UC’s College-Conservatory of Music) and other universities. All of our choirs rehearse on Sunday mornings. Anyone interested in serving in our Music Ministry are encouraged to contact Phil Clary, our Director of Music at email@example.com.
The Adult Choir sings at the 10:30 service two to three times each month. Although the Adult Choir sings a varied repertoire, this choir embraces choral music from the Anglican and Reformed traditions.
The Youth Choir is open to ages 9th Grade to young adult and sings music of a less traditional nature – American Gospel and music from African and other non-European traditions. The Youth Choir sings once a month at the 10:30 service.
MEN’S CHOIR / WOMEN’S CHOIR
These two choirs provide an opportunity for singers who enjoy the fellowship of joining with brothers or sisters in song and may have great memories of collegiate glee clubs. Each of these choirs only sings once every two to three months.

Women's Rights in the Workplace
The ACLU works to ensure that all women—especially those facing intersecting forms of discrimination—have equal access to employment free from gender discrimination, including discrimination based on sex stereotypes, pregnancy, and parenting; discrimination in the form of barriers to working in fields from which women have traditionally been excluded; and the systemic undervaluing of work traditionally performed by women.
Although pregnancy discrimination has long been illegal, workers who are pregnant or breastfeeding are often fired or pushed out of the workplace. This practice is rooted in the stereotype that women should be mothers, not workers, and it is reinforced by workplace policies modeled on traditional male norms.
The ACLU works to end wage discrimination in the workplace and ensure that all workers—regardless of sex, race, national origin, age, or disability—are able to bring home every dollar they rightfully earn. As a result of discrimination, including employers’ reliance on gender stereotypes, women lack parity with men in earnings. On average, women today earn just 78 cents for every dollar that men earn—an increase of only 17 cents on the dollar since the Equal Pay Act of 1963 was enacted. The figures are even more dismal for women of color. Black women are paid only 64 cents and Latinas only 54 cents for every dollar that white men earn. Obstacles such as punitive pay secrecy policies and weak remedies in some of our laws make it difficult to challenge the ongoing wage gap.
A range of barriers prevent women from having an equal opportunity to succeed in jobs from which they have traditionally been excluded. These can include formal barriers, such as physical ability tests unrelated to job performance or bans on their ability to serve in combat units, but they can also include other forms of discrimination and unconscious bias, including policies that force women out of non-traditional sectors like shipping and factory work when they become pregnant or return to work after having a baby.
Finally, the work of caring for children, sick family members, and elderly parents has traditionally been assumed to be, and often is, “women’s work.” This caregiving work, although essential to society, tends to be undervalued and is often either unpaid (when women combine care for their own families with paid work) or underpaid (when they work in caregiving occupations, such as in nursing homes). Workplace policies still fail to account for these obligations, and workers with child or elder care responsibilities often face sex discrimination and harassment, which inhibits their advancement in the workforce.


text: Today I broke open my box of @numiorganictea White Rose tea, which I paired with @confitures_favols Violet Flower Preserves for a real treat. The White Rose tea has a gorgeous perfume that I could breathe in all day, but don’t worry – the smell doesn’t overwhelm the tea, which happens to be quite light, but soothing. If you really want to amp up the flavor, you can either brew the tea longer so it creates a medium-bodied infusion or you can add another tea bag to your cup, but I was content to sip it as it was. One other lovely way to enjoy this tea would be with a little mint leaf or tea, which I think would be amazing! Moving on to Favols (based in the heart of Aquitaine’s orchards in France since 1966), creators of unique and delicious jars of jam. Their premium range of flower preserves made from whole flowers or petals, is the perfect pick-me-up for tea time or brunches with its original touch. The jam is lightly floral, which I put on a simple cracker so that I could really get the flavor. If you have an opportunity to try the preserve I certainly recommend it, especially if you love floral-inspired teas and treats the way I do!

At a time when the Censor Board is in news for all the wrong reasons, here’s one more film that will test it to the fullest. The trailer of Global Baba, director Manoj Sidheshwari Tewari’s take on organised religion, was released on Tuesday, and it has already set tongues wagging on the social media.
The film, which has actor Abhimanyu Singh playing a ‘global baba’ with millions of followers and Ravi Kishen as an honest cop out there to expose the criminal behind the baba, is set to release on March 11.
Watch: Trailer of Global Baba
The trailer promises a thrilling ride into the dark underside of the nexus between politics and religion in India. It shows how fake saints are exploiting believers in the name of religion and how they go untouched by even the most honest police officers.

Why Florida is missing from the results map
The US election results map has a gap: the state that would have been one of the most important if the result had been closer - the swing state of Florida.
It represents 29 electoral votes, a major number when viewed against the 270-vote winning line. In the end it was down to 18-vote Ohio to take the President past that figure.
The Miami Herald reports: “When polls officially closed at 7pm hundreds of people were still waiting to cast ballots in precincts around South Florida, in an election that was marked by long lines and the occasional snafu. Even after the networks called the race for President Obama, people in South Florida remained in line.”
It reports that 80 per cent of the Miami Dade precincts still had queues four hours after the polls should have closed. Some voters had waited six hours. About 18,000 “absentee” ballots also came through on pollig day.
“At Ronald Reagan High School in Doral, the doors closed with some 300 people still in line. By law, any voter who arrived before 7pm is allowed to cast a ballot.”
Florida was the focus of attention in the 2000 presidential election, when George W. Bush led Al Gore by only hundreds of votes and the Supreme Court had to become involved.

This podcast interview is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM, and right here:
Charishma Kaliyanda is in her first year on the Liverpool city council–a council which was rocked by threats, discord, and the potential for dissolution. However, things have calmed down considerably. We talk about how state governments can investigate what happens in city council meetings in Australia, plus she gave me a macabre piece of kangaroo trivia.
Q: Liverpool councilors also have full-time jobs, I’m assuming because the crocodiles aren’t going to hunt themselves down there. But you go to your job, then you show up for a council meeting for a few hours–do people get irritable the longer the meeting goes on?
A: Absolutely. Tiredness can result in people getting a bit crabby, but we’re also lucky that we’re fed before council meetings.
Q: They give you food!
A: Yeah! They figured out very early that if you feed the councilors, the likelihood of them getting grouchy can be staved off for a while.
Q: What grade of kangaroo meat do they feed you?
A: Well, we have a couple of vegetarians, so I think they’re avoiding the kangaroos. But it’s the good stuff. We don’t just pick it up off the road and throw it on the barbecue and serve it!
Q: [Laughs] That is everyone’s impression of Australians up here, by the way!
A: If you’ve ever been to the Australian Outback, you’ll find a lot of dead kangaroos on the road. They seem to get into lots of accidents with large vehicles.
Q: The year before you were elected, the Liverpool City Council was in chaos. But one thing that threw me for a loop was learning that New South Wales Local Government Minister Paul Toole–which we don’t have an equivalent for in the U.S.–sent someone to sit in the council meetings to monitor misconduct. And even WILDER, he was deciding whether to disband the city council entirely! He can do that in Australia?!
A: Yes. It’s happened very recently to a different council. That’s what happened in this situation: the councilor would have put in a complaint claiming what happened was not in keeping with the code of conduct. That’s when a representative from the Minister of Local Government would have investigated. That seems like it was a pretty horrible situation to be a part of. The toxicity must have been building up and people went, “I’ve had enough.”
Q: Did Paul Toole send anyone to watch your early council meetings just to see if everything was okay?
A: Not that I can recall. It’s usually at the request of a councilor or the mayor or someone in staff because they have a concern about something.
Q: At the November 2016 meeting, there was a motion to drug test all the councilors and the mayor. Do you know what that was about?
A: Right before the election there was discussion around having an ice [methamphetamine] injecting room. [The motion was] a gesture about how anti-drug councilors are…we should submit ourselves to testing.
Q: During this interview, you have been very articulate and knowledgeable, so I’m curious: did you take any performance-enhancing drugs before we started talking?
A: Does coffee count?
Q: Well, it’s legal here but I don’t know what goes down in Australia. Is it legal there?
A: Yes, but I would classify it as a performance-enhancing drug! [Laughs]

For the third time since the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, the Supreme Court rejected a call for it to sabotage that law — this time, in an unusually dismissive opinion.
The Court’s brief decision in California v. Texas, issued Thursday, ultimately concludes that the plaintiffs trying to undo the law had no business being in court in the first place.
The case was brought by a bloc of Republican state officials, as well as two individuals who object to Obamacare. Their case centered on the law’s individual mandate: As originally drafted, the Affordable Care Act required most Americans to either obtain health insurance or pay higher taxes, and the Supreme Court famously upheld this so-called “individual mandate” in NFIB v. Sebelius (2012) as a valid exercise of Congress’s power to levy taxes.
In 2017, however, Congress amended Obamacare to zero out this tax. So, under current law, most Americans must either obtain health insurance or pay zero dollars. The Texas plaintiffs didn’t just claim that this zeroed-out tax is unconstitutional (on the theory that a zero dollar tax can’t be an exercise of Congress’s taxing power), they claimed that the entire law must be declared invalid if the zero dollar tax is stuck down.
It was an audacious ask of the Supreme Court — requesting the justices strike down the entire law despite only claiming that a single provision of Obamacare is unconstitutional. Especially since the provision that the plaintiffs challenged literally does nothing at all.
The Court didn’t even reach the question of whether or not the ex-mandate is constitutional. In a 7-2 ruling written by liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, the Court ruled that no one is allowed to bring suit to challenge a provision of law that does nothing. Four Republican appointees — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — joined Breyer’s opinion.
Suits about nothing are not allowed
The idea that no one can challenge a legal provision that does nothing isn’t especially controversial — or, at least, it wasn’t controversial before numerous high-ranking Republicans rallied behind the Texas litigation. As the Supreme Court held in Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992), no one may file a federal lawsuit challenging a law unless they have suffered an “injury in fact” that is “fairly traceable” to the law that they are challenging.
Yet that didn’t stop 18 Republican state attorneys general from bringing this futile effort to kill Obamacare. In the end, they lost because of a simple fact: No one is injured by a law that requires them to pay zero dollars.
As Breyer writes, “the IRS can no longer seek a penalty from those who fail to comply” with the requirement to buy insurance. Thus, “there is no possible Government action that is causally connected to the plaintiffs’ injury.”
Really, there’s no need to say much more about this lawsuit. It was an absurd case brought under a risible legal theory that was widely mocked even by many outspoken opponents of Obamacare. The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board labeled this lawsuit the “Texas Obamacare Blunder.” Yuval Levin, a prominent conservative policy wonk, wrote in the National Review that the Texas lawsuit “doesn’t even merit being called silly. It’s ridiculous.”
And now the lawsuit is dead. As it turns out, even in a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court, there are some arguments that are too laughable to be taken seriously.
