It is commonly thought that the higher the game’s difficulty, the better gamer you are. Not playing on the hardest mode, makes you a weak gamer.
Developer’s Double Fine doesn’t believe that saying that enjoying your experience playing the game is more important.
They even shared a tweet, explaining that sentiment.
Double Fine is promising that playing Psychonauts 2 will be rewarding whatever difficulty you choose. So even though you use any of the accessibility features, it would still mean that you were able to finish the game.
The video featured above shared some of the game’s accessibility options.
We get to see the No Fall Damage, Narrative Combat, and Invincibility which can be turned on and off anytime.
Using the accessibility options in any part of the game will still ensure the player that he or she was able to complete that game. So using these options in parts that you are having difficulty with is okay.
Other available accessibility features are subtitles, text language, camera assist, and colorblind options.

The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's crowning achievement, is a tale of patricide and family rivalry that embodies the moral and spiritual dissolution of an entire society (Russia in the 1870s). It created a national furor comparable only to the excitement stirred by the publication, in 1866, of Crime and Punishment. To Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov captured the quintessence of Russian character in all its exaltation, compassion, and profligacy. Significantly, the book was on Tolstoy's bedside table when he died. Readers in every language have since accepted Dostoevsky's own evaluation of this work and have gone further by proclaiming it one of the few great novels of all ages and countries.

FyodorDostoyevsky (18211881), one of nineteenth-century Russias greatest novelists, spent four years in a convict prison in Siberia, after which he was obliged to enlist in the army. In later years his penchant for gambling sent him deeply into debt. Most of his important works were written after 1864, including Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov, all available from Penguin Classics.Language Notes:

The Suburban Housing Boom Goes Bust: How the Pandemic Frenzy Led to Crashing Prices
When the pandemic first hit in early 2020, it triggered a mass migration out of crowded cities as people sought larger homes and more space in the suburbs and countryside. This surge in demand led to rapidly rising house prices in commuter belts and rural areas. However, three years later, the suburban housing frenzy has gone bust. Owners in these former hotspots are now suffering the steepest price declines as mortgage rates soar.
During the pandemic, the ability to work from home convinced many urban dwellers to make a permanent move to the suburbs or beyond. Without needing to commute into a city office every day, homebuyers felt freed up to purchase larger properties farther from urban centers, even if it meant higher prices. This kicked the housing market into overdrive, fueling bidding wars and exponential price growth in 2020 and 2021.
The most popular destination regions included East Anglia and the outer Southeast of England. Areas along the coast and rural counties saw particularly intense demand. According to Nationwide building society, house prices in East Anglia plunged 1.8% in the last quarter of 2022 alone. Similarly, the outer Southeast experienced a 1.5% price slide.
This contraction signals a stark reversal from the meteoric rise in values during the early pandemic years. So why the drastic turnaround? Experts point to two key factors:
1. Return to the Office
As COVID restrictions have eased, companies have called employees back to urban offices. No longer able to work remotely full-time, homebuyers have less incentive to pay a premium for spacious houses far outside cities. At the same time, some purchasers regret overextending themselves financially to afford large suburban homes, especially as mortgage rates have spiked.
2. Soaring Interest Rates
During the pandemic, mortgage rates hit rock-bottom lows, with the average 2-year fixed deal dipping below 3% in mid-2021. This enabled buyers to take on jumbo loans to purchase higher-priced properties. However, as central banks have raised rates to combat inflation, mortgage rates have nearly doubled over the past year. This has massively impacted budgets for prospective homeowners.
Those able to purchase during the hot pandemic market often paid well over asking prices, expecting home values to continue rising rapidly. But with higher borrowing costs and declining prices, these buyers are now underwater on their mortgages. Meanwhile, first-time purchasers are retreating to the lower end of the market, opting for flats and smaller homes instead of expensive houses. This imbalance of supply and demand explains the diverging trajectories for houses versus flats.
Some sellers are still pricing homes based on 2021’s frothy valuations, but a correction is clearly underway. Areas that saw the most feverish pandemic bidding wars are getting hit hardest. For example, in commuter hub Guildford, south of London, agreed sales prices for homes have plunged 12% from their peak in mid-2022. Similar double-digit declines have wracked former hotspots like Salisbury and Watford.
In this rapidly shifting landscape, buyers feel empowered to negotiate much lower offers than a year ago, while some desperate sellers may turn to distressed sales. With economists predicting national price drops of 10-15% in 2023, the once-torrid suburban housing markets look set for a major cool down. Homeowners counting on endless price appreciation to offset high purchase prices and mortgages are in for a painful wake-up call.
The pandemic-era frenzy that sparked a mass exodus from cities, sending suburban house prices into the stratosphere, appears to have backfired. This boom to bust cycle serves as a cautionary tale for overzealous real estate speculation, no matter how appealing remote work arrangements and ultra-low rates may seem. While urban flight satisfied many buyers’ short-term goals, this temporary bubble has now definitively burst.
Summary conclusion – Key Takeaways:
• The COVID pandemic triggered a housing frenzy as buyers sought larger suburban homes to escape crowded cities
• Former hotspot regions like East Anglia saw prices spike over 20% during 2020-2021 on extreme demand
• But the suburban boom has gone bust as mortgage rates have nearly doubled in a year
• As workers return to offices, many regret overpaying for spacious houses far from cities
• East Anglia, outer Southeast and London commuter belts are now seeing the sharpest price declines
• Some sellers are still overpricing homes based on peak 2021 values
• Buyers feel empowered to negotiate much lower offers than a year ago
• Economists predict national house prices could fall 10-15% in 2023
• The pandemic housing craze serves as a warning against speculative real estate bubbles
• What once seemed like a short-term bonanza has definitively gone pop

Universal Credit: Coffey says she is to 'review' £20 increase
Universal Credit is designed to assist those who are on a low income, or who have found themselves out of work. To be eligible, one must be over the age of 18 in most cases, but under state pension age and resident in the UK. Furthermore, claimants are required to have less than £16,000 in savings to be able to claim the benefit.
While the payment structure of Universal Credit is intended to provide as much support as possible, an issue was raised regarding how it affected some.
Now, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), who oversees the benefit, has taken steps to rectify the problem - and new rules are due to kick in from today.
It is thought over 85,000 people will see their payments rise, after a rule change concerning payments.
Those who are paid twice in one month by their employer can now expect not to be penalised by ‘over-earning’ rules.
Universal Credit UK: Thousands to receive higher payments as rule change kicks in today
Previously, those who were paid twice in one month were flagged as earning too much, and thus their payment was reduced.
This system was intended to ensure people were not given too much in benefit payments, and that their sum reflected their income.
However, for many people, it was the case they were not over-earning in the first place.
Those paid twice in one month were often faced with this circumstance due to bank holidays or weekends falling in certain places.

Martin Lewis explains how borrowers can reclaim for mis-sold loans [UPDATE]
Pension UK: Smaller withdrawals better than lump sums to help Britons [INSIGHT]
As a result, Britons received early or late payments in certain instances, which had a knock on effect on their benefits.
The issue was first raised in a Court of Appeal case, where a number of women stated the rules had affected them greatly.
Will Quince, Minister for Welfare Delivery, announced the change was to happen, making a statement in October.
He said: “Universal Credit is a flexible benefit, and we continue to make changes and improve to make sure people have the best experience possible.
“This change will give stability to people if they’re paid two pay cheques in a single assessment period, by ensuring that Universal Credit payments remain consistent.”
It is thought the change will be especially beneficial during the upcoming festive period, where a number of bank holidays could affect the payment schedule of many Britons.
Universal Credit is likely to vary from person to person, but the standard allowance is based on a person’s age and relationship status.
Single people under 25 can expect to receive £342.72 per month, rising to £409.89 for single people over 25.
Those who are in a couple where both are under 25 will receive £488.59 in monthly standard allowance.
And finally, couples where one or both members are 25 or over, are entitled to £594.04.
Britons can expect to get more money on top of their standard allowance if eligible.
This will be the case for those with children, a disability, or people who need assistance with rent.

Back in December 2017, Shakey Graves proclaimed on his Twitter page, “Next album. New sound. Sell your suspenders.” The tweet was tongue-in-cheek, but Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the Austin native who’s been plying his trade as Shakey Graves since 2007, was making a dead-serious point about his latest album, ‘Can’t Wake Up’.
This ambitious, audacious work heralds an artistic metamorphosis for the 30-year-old veteran, whose risk-taking in painting outside the lines has been rewarded tenfold. We’re looking forward to seeing him perform this album and much more at Bluesfest’s 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Austin that allow residents the convenience
of an urban environment. BY STEPHANIE CRETS

il ing homes to re ect their neigh orhoo is entro evelopment's goal. The company believes that one of the highest
compliments a builder can receive is that the project speaks of its
location and reflects its neighborhood.
When starting a new project, its architects take many photos
of the surrounding area. "We try not to do the same-old formulaic thing everyone else thinks of when they go to a certain place,"
Principal of Centro Development Kent Collins says. "What sets us
apart is that we are trying to create urban apartment retail projects
that reflect and add to the places in which they are located."
The garden apartment model is an apartment complex that
consists of eight to 20 buildings with 10 to 20 apartments each.
The buildings are generally sprinkled around a site with attached
parking for each building. This is a lower-density product that underutilizes the area with only 15 to 35 units per acre, whereas an
urban model has 65 to 110 units per acre, depending on the model
of the apartment.

Randall County Judge Ted Wood gained an expanded role in county affairs by taking on the juvenile caseload.
The Randall County Juvenile Probation Board on Tuesday designated all five members as juvenile judges, clearing the way for Wood to hear the cases. The board consists of Wood, County Court at Law John Jay Thorpe and state District Judges Sam Kiser, Pat Pirtle and David Gleason.
In the past, the board had authorized all but the county judge to hear juvenile cases, Wood said. Former County Court at Law Judge Darrell Carey had served as juvenile judge and as chairman of the juvenile board.
Carey lost the March Republican primary to Thorpe, then an Amarillo attorney. Since then, Thorpe and Wood have agreed to shift the juvenile caseload to Wood, they said.
Thursdays and Fridays will become Wood's designated days to hear juvenile cases. But he will conduct detention hearings throughout the week as needed, Wood said.
Wood has begun remodeling a portion of the old Norwest Bank building near the Canyon square for a temporary courtroom. Long-term plans will be discussed with the rest of the county's expansion plans, Wood said.
Hopefully, shifting the juvenile caseload to the county judge will forestall the need for a second county court at law, Wood said.
The move frees Thorpe to hear more misdemeanor and family cases.
At the county commissioners' meeting, Commissioner Brian Barrett offered to help shoulder some of the county judge's workload during budget season.
"In the process, (maybe) we can save roughly $400,000," Barrett said.
Former Commissioner John Dodson has opposed Wood hearing cases. Wood should devote his full attention to county business, Dodson has said.

text: This review discusses the challenges of chemotherapy for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). The few drugs registered for use against the disease are unsatisfactory for a number of reasons. HAT has two stages. In stage 1 the parasites proliferate in the haemolymphatic system. In stage 2 they invade the central nervous system and brain provoking progressive neurological dysfunction leading to symptoms that include the disrupted sleep wake patterns that give HAT its more common name of sleeping sickness. Targeting drugs to the central nervous system offers many challenges. However, it is the cost of drug development for diseases like HAT, that afflict exclusively people of the world's poorest populations, that has been the principal barrier to new drug development and has led to them becoming neglected. Here we review drugs currently registered for HAT, and also discuss the few compounds progressing through clinical trials. Finally we report on new initiatives that might allow progress to be made in developing new and satisfactory drugs for this terrible disease.

cutting through all of the misinformation about the
City of Memphis Pension System.
While some Memphis politicians have used the recession to scare the public into thinking the pension is in crisis, your emergency service workers have been sitting quietly, waiting to present the facts regarding the pension fund, how it has been poorly funded, and how the City Administration is planning on changing the retirement plan and the steps they are taking that may affect quality employees being recruited or retained.
This website will take you through some of the history of the City of Memphis Pension Plan, that started in
1948, under the old “Commission” form of Memphis city government.
The City of Memphis would like to have you, the citizen, believe that city employees are living a robust
life at the expense of the Memphis taxpayer. However, what some politicians want you to believe, and the facts themselves, are far from one another.
Pension Fund balance as of April 2015 is $2.235 Billion

Muse has released the follow-up single to its Olympic anthem "Survival." "Madness" is the second single off The 2nd Law, the band's forthcoming album.
The track sees Matthew Bellamy singing over deep, restrained instrumentation. It feels a bit like a dubstep tune that never takes off, in a good way. It's interesting to hear a guitar solo layered over dubstep's signature wobbles, and the final two minutes of the song define it as a more than capable piece of pop theater rock.
Muse had previously revealed that dubstep producer Skrillex was a big influence on its new record. The band attended a Skrillex concert and were so inspired that they immediately created "Unsustainable," a dubby track that's featured in a video trailer released as promotion for the album. For that song, Bellamy and friends focused on creating a dubstep-style song with live instrumentation.
Singer Matt Bellamy told reporters it was a great honor to have their track selected as the official Olympic tune, and that the Games figured prominently in the bandmember's minds when they wrote the song. "Survival" was played many a time throughout the games, before medal ceremonies and when athletes entered arenas.
The 2nd Law is currently available for pre-order. Check out photos of the Olympics' Closing Ceremony below.

Lignin and Cellulose
To solve cellulose purification process of the environmental pollution problems caused , Beijing Dream Fox Yutong fiber research and development center has successfully developed a zero pollution, zero emissions , high utilization of the ” green energy biomass organic component separation process technology .”
It is understood that this technology after full trial , from bamboo , wood, fruit branches , shrubs , reeds, straw and other plant extracts to effectively separate the cellulose , hemicellulose, lignin and various organic ingredients, raw material utilization high . The project involves the extension of technical textiles, paper , energy, chemicals, building materials and aerospace , military and other major areas . The advent of technology breakthroughs in the industry has been using a traditional ” acid Law” pulping technology bottlenecks. First , from the source to solve the pulp and paper industry , ” black liquor ” in emissions , while access to a variety of high-value products , the technology of the current energy conservation, development of low-carbon circular economy has played a certain role in promoting.
This new technology will become separated from the plant cellulose, hemicellulose new , new high-purity lignin three ingredients , the separation step into the first mechanized plant lignin and fiber , integrated pulp fiber elements that , according to need and then Fully fibrinolytic through physical methods can be divided into cellulose and hemicellulose .
Purified using this technique has the following three components of the secondary characteristics: characterized in that the fine cellulose fibers or long fibers state , different plants and residual lignin appear pale yellow or white , since the basic removal of lignin cellulose pulp is high , > 90% purity , whiteness 60% ~ 85% ISO, and advanced chemical pulp quality is quite far superior to other semi-chemical pulp and mechanical pulp ; hemicellulose new feature is the last solid , pale yellow or white , composition mainly pentosan , content of> 50% , is a new type of plant products, with a wide range of applications , there is no separation of the production plant hemicellulose industrialization process technology and application manufacturers ; novel characteristics of high purity lignin is black solid with heat melting the ash can be less than 1% , lignin molecular weight <4000 , with oil nature , can produce a variety of chemical products, is a new type of raw material , no similar products in the market , this is the difference between lignin and other significant sign of the pulping process .
It is reported that the technology is basically the plant raw material can get 100% utilization , while the traditional chemical methods to extract plants only Holocellulose target products, making the plant the plant raw material utilization is about 30% to 40% , a lot of material is wasted , including most of the lignin , and a small amount of cellulose and hemicellulose are pollution and waste . Conventional chemical methods of extraction from plant cellulose integrated mechanical pulp can reach 90%, but due to the large mixing of lignin , the pulp quality is low , is difficult to bleach , products can not be stored for a long , narrow range of applications , can only do some low secondary products, plants can not achieve a high use value.
This new technology will plant the three major components of cellulose, hemicellulose , lignin and trace amounts of ingredients , all of separation and extraction into high value products , waste is zero, i.e. there is no source of pollution , and the use of closed production , participation in all the raw materials and plant responses recycle and reuse in order to achieve zero pollution, zero emissions. Compared to conventional pulp and paper industry goal of preparing the cellulose components of the plant , all of the lignin and some hemicellulose, as waste and manufacturing burdens , mixed with chemical reaction to form a pulp waste water, with high COD, BOD, SS, AOX load refractory in nature , ecological damage , serious pollution of the environment has become a major source of pollution .
In nature, after cellulose, lignin reserves , and every year 50 billion tons of speed regeneration. Pulp and paper industry plants were isolated from each year about 140 million tons of cellulose , and lignin get 5000 tons of products, but so far , more than 95 % of the lignin is still ” black liquor ” form directly into after concentration of rivers or burned , rarely used effectively . In the development of the technology to extend , the lignin can be a coal and oil does not rely as raw materials to obtain a carbon fiber material . The technology of carbon fibers may be melt- spun filament diameter of 5 to 20 microns carbon fibers , melt blown microfiber diameter less than 5 microns fiber, less than 100 nanometers in diameter electrospinning carbon fiber , its performance can be achieved high strength, high modulus, high flexibility requirements.

SCENESTER & PROMOTER
- 1991-1994 Tocadas were live shows where mostly (Rock En Español) REE bands from L.A. would come, all the way out here to Oxnard, to rock out because there weren’t many places for them to play in L.A. so every week they and their fan base would come out to Oxnard and play at “El Padrino” in fact, El Padrino was the first place where, “La Banda Elastica” began its de-fusion. La Banda Elastica is now the most prominent REE magazine. (LaBandaElastica.com) It was all kinds of wholesome fun! Where the lot of us could and would take our teenage angst out on each other in the moshpit and then go have tacos and stuff at Taco Boy after. (We were all under age and full of endorphins.)

Anne Frank House – Video screens
Brief: Produce design and content for external video screens on the Anne Frank House
We created the design and some of the video content for the three video screens which hang outside the Anne Frank House. We decided that the experience of the museum really begins in the (famously long) queue and so in addition to two screens providing practical information and upcoming exhibitions, a third gave some historical background to the Anne Frank story. We were able to use both new and historical footage, creating a looping film which took into account the amount of time people would be in front of the screen, with a logical story that could be joined at any point and still make sense.
Concept and video: Mathijs Voordenberg & Pim de Vries

The Effect of Confluence Angle on the Flow Pattern at a Rectangular Open-Channel
Flow connection in channels is a phenomenon which frequently happens in rivers, water and drainage channels and urban sewage systems. The phenomenon appears to be more complex in rivers than in channels, especially at the y-junction bed joint that causes erosion and sedimentation at some areas resulting to morphological changes. Flow behavior at the channel junction area depends on variables such as channel geometry, discharge ratio, tributary width and y-junction connection angle of the channel, bed level changes at the bed joint, flow characteristic at the bed joint upstream and flow Froude number in different sections. In this research, fluent numerical model and junction angles of 30o, 45o & 60o are used to analyze and evaluate the effect of channel junction geometry on the flow pattern and the flow separation zone dimensions in different ratios of flow discharge (upstream channel discharge to total discharge of the flow). Results for two ratios of flow discharge are represented. Results are in agreement with earlier studies and it is shown that the change of the channel crossing angle affects the flow pattern in the main channel and also that the dimensions of the created separation zone in the main channel become larger when the crossing angle increases. This phenomenon can also be observed when the flow discharge ratio is lower. Analysis showed that the least dimension of the separation zone will be at the crossing angle of 45o .

A leviathan battleship
The dreadnought launched by the King
From our special correspondent. Portsmouth, Saturday
Monday 12 February 1906
The special circumstances which have attended the building of the battleship Dreadnought brought to her launch today an atmosphere of excitement and expectation which was not diminished by the sudden change in the scale of the ceremony caused by the death of the Danish King.
Rather it seemed that the absence of "dressed" sips and Venetian masts, troops, and organised spectators assisted the event by increasing the workmanlike character and reducing it to its most industrial terms.
The great gangs of men in their overalls roaring their chanties far below the Royal platform as they swung their rams at the shores upon which the great ship was wedged, and waving their arms as the water leapt to her bows when she had entered the sea, formed the right background for the ceremonial finish to this great effort of organised industry.
One felt that the workmen from Barrow and Sheffield and Renfrew who have worked at her armour and machinery and boilers ought also to have been here to toss their caps, for if our supremacy is based upon our in constructing improved types of warships, even more than in fighting them it is not the sailor and the marine who should have the first place in a launching ceremony.
To-day it was the "Yo-ho" of the chanty man and the noise of iron on wood that took the central place. The bluejackets in their summer straw hats and the marines in their overcoats were hidden behind the blocks of sheds, and the King and his brilliant little company of courtiers, admirals, attaches, and clerics could not be seen until the ship went down the ways.
It was the white jackets of the workmen that cut the great figure. The day was in the best Portsmouth manner. The dismal sky of the morning broke just when people were beginning to lose hope, and poured down floors of sunshine and sent gay winds to tease the flags. Work was stopped at breakfast-time in the Dockyard, and all the possible places were soon crowded by townsmen and their wives. There was only a small invited company of spectators and a little choir of boys.
It was a very keen-eyed company, however, and one noticed many of the chiefs from the private shipbuilding yards, a couple of Japanese, one Chinese, and several other foreigners. From their position there was not much to see of this mysterious ship, whose secrets had furnished so many interesting articles from the quidnuncs. The bow towered 30ft. overhead and 20ft. below the platform, but the view was sufficient to upset one of the leading disclosures.
The Dreadnought's bow had the usual ram formation. The forecastle is cut away at each side, bearing out the theory that the first pair of 12in. guns will be mounted in a barbette on the forecastle, and two other pairs a little aft on the upper deck, the cut-away allowing them to be fired ahead.
The only other point of interest was the huge slice, 12in. deep that seemed gouged out of the hull right along from the bow to the stern. This is the space on which the protecting belt of armour will be riveted. The sharp lines of the bow towered overhead, the perspective ran swiftly aft to the cup-like bulge amidships, and beyond one looked on white sails and tall-funnelled tugs. The standing ways had all been cut down except those supporting the gangways to her decks amidships.
Tremendous preparation had been made to ensure a safe delivery to the sea. The massive cradle which held the ship in position when the other supports were removed was built of huge logs and held in position by huge iron clamps riveted into the ship's side. The ways were partly greased with margarine.
On the platform at the bow a worried-looking, greyish man with a tall hat moved uneasily about; the German, French, Italian, and American attaches pulled their cloaks around their splendid uniforms and smiled gravely at the bow of the Dreadnought; the Mayor of Portsmouth guarded his blue robe with both hands from the disorderly wind, and light-footed elderly admirals talked together.
General Sir Ian Hamilton was one of a little group of soldiers in elegant grey-blue cloaks. Sir Philip Watts, with his black-feathered cocked hat, turned to Lord Tweedmouth with the slow, discreet smile of a practical man and an authority. The Bishop of Winchester and his crozier-bearer were the centre of another group.
Very quietly, the King arrived at the appointed hour, leaning heavily on his stick after the steep climb up the gangway. His Majesty did not look quite in his usual health, and it was obvious as the ceremony went on that the effort of speaking with his officers and the attaches. Although carried through with his customary heartiness and vivacity, entailed considerable fatigue.
Sir John Fisher, wearing the crimson ribbon of the Bath, attended the King closely throughout the ceremony. The dockyard chaplain conducted the religious service observed at the birth of our ships of war. The singing of the choir was lost in the wind, but the voice of the Bishop of Winchester pronouncing a benediction was distinctly heard in a lull. Afterwards came the profaner music from the workmen. An unusually loud chorus from the standing ways attracted the King's curiosity, and with Lord Tweedmouth and Sir John Fisher he moved out to the end of the platform and gazed down on the crowd of little white figures that swarmed beneath the great curve of the ship.
Immediately the King was seen there was a loud roar of welcome, the workmen hammering their tools on whatever was to hand. At this moment Admiral Barry came with word that all was ready. The King turned and walked into the little stall and grasped the flower-decked bottle of win that was held in its place by a cord above and another to the bows below, attached to a running weight in the shape of a golden crown. The King pulled out the bottle and let it go, but the flowers prevented it from breaking. A second attempt cracked it, and the win trickled down the grey bows.
Then came the last act of the ceremony. A rope on each side which held the balancing weight that kept the last dogshores in position was joined by strands across the bow upright, and these the King severed by a series of taps with a mallet on a chisel held by an official. As the last strand was severed the enormous bulk that seemed as immovable as a cathedral made a sudden perceptible little spring backwards and, as it seemed, upwards.
This changed at once to a sliding motion, and before the mind, for all its preparation, had conceived what had happened one was looking down on another great field of faces where a second before had stood this vast grey structure. The ship diminished sharply before one's eyes. Then a crash of waters aroused one's other senses. There came a roar of hurrahs, the first sounds of the band playing "God save the King" and tugs blowing their horns, and the perfume of spilt wine and of flowers.
The sunlight now penetrated into the platform that had been overshadowed before, and showed the king and his admirals saluting Britain's greatest battleship, which stood well out in the harbour, with her forward anchors out and gripping and the waves flecking her monstrous sides. A host of small boats had put out in a moment and were fighting for the floating shores and splinters and the masses of fat that the cradle had stripped from the ways.

Awesome sashimi and sushi at 上引水产 in Taipei!
When my friends ask me for food recommendations in Taiwan, I always tell them Aquatic Addiction Development is a MUST visit.
This is the ONLY place in the world which I think makes a close enough substitute for Japan's Tsukiji fish market.
AAD is located opposite the Taipei Fish Market where it houses 10 areas serving the freshest seafood imaginable.
There is a stand-up sushi bar, a seafood bar (with wine available), an outdoor seating area for charcoal-grilled seafood, a fresh food supermarket, an wholesale area as well as a lifestyle boutique selling cookware and household goods.
And did I mention it's very affordable too?
This entire bowl of goodness was only NT280 which is like S$12??? :scream:
We ordered a huge variety - from chirashi dons to sashimi platters to grilled prawns and freshly-fried-on-the-spot tempura.
Everything was sooooo fresh and so yummy!
THAT size of the prawn!!!
And then you can complete your meal with some awesome soft serve :)
Ok! Ending this post here with this selfie cause I like the very apt crabby crab shirt I'm wearing teehee.

Genre-defying ’80’s Afro-Punks Fishbone have reunited to record a new politically driven album joined by NOFX frontman taking production reigns.
Since their inception in 1979, L.A. band Fishbone have brilliantly combine genre’s that seem to sit at polar opposites – punk energy with a ska cadence, occasionally wired together with metal guitar with a hint of R&B grooves. It sounds insane, but it works. The band members themselves came together in a way similar to their music. after recently making amends after years of lawsuits and disagreements.
Keyboardist, trombonist and songwriter, Chris Dowd, is also a fully qualified chef, and his comparison of the bands musical dynamics fit in well with his ‘hollandaise sauce analogy’
“You’re taking an egg and some olive oil. Two components that wouldn’t mix together,” he explains, “but you whisk it together a certain way, and that causes it to bond.”
The band have chosen producer and NOFX frontman Fat Mike to meticulously blend their volatile mix of sounds into a delicious fusion. With an ‘almost original’ line up (founding guitarist Kendall Jones was not on board for the reunion) sees lead singer and sax player Angelo Moore reunited with bassist Norwood Fisher, drummer, Philip “Fish” Fisher, trumpet player Walter Kibby and Chris Dowd! The anticipation for what’s to come is more than enough to have fans hanging on for a release date.
According to Dowd, the sound of the “yet to be named’ up coming album is “still evolving” but says it will be “very political”. In a recent interview with AltPress Dowd was asked about their reasons for choosing Mike to work with on the album. Was it for his expertise with sound or did they need him to be more like a diplomat, to keep everyone working toward the same goal?
“Definitely diplomat,” says Dowd, “But I will say this: It’s a combo platter, too. He’s definitely got strong opinions about what he is and isn’t feeling. But we definitely have strong feelings about what we are and aren’t going to be bargained with, too. I feel like Mike is doing this Fishbone album going, ‘What the fuck was I thinking?” For real: It’s a six-headed monster.”
Keep on top of Fishbone news…
Everyone should have a soundtrack playing loudly in the background of their life. I was born moshing to my own beat and have never swayed from my love of music. Spreading my passion through the written word is my soul’s purpose. My punk heart beats loudly with the rhythm of my rock soul. I plan to continue to mosh like no one gives a shit.

Igloo Vision integrates immersive technology with VRcollab
26 August 2020 – Igloo Vision, the UK-based specialist in shared immersive spaces, has entered into a partnership with Singapore-based VRcollab, which will open exciting opportunities for companies to make better use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. This means that any company across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector will be able to enhance the way it currently visualises, designs, collaborates, and engages using BIM projects.
Igloo Vision’s powerful immersive technology is already used by a number of AEC enterprises. The Igloo Immersive Media Player integrates out-of-the-box with a wide range of industry-standard 3D design, visualisation, coordination, and planning tools. This frees models from paper plans and computer screens. Inside an Igloo immersive space, entire teams can walk around and manipulate a virtual model of their BIM projects.
VRcollab is a tool designed to empower both BIM users and non-BIM stakeholders. VRcollab integrates with a variety of BIM software — Revit, Navisworks, Rhino3D, Archicad, Sketchup — to take the 3D data from projects and create a virtual reality model with easy, one-click exports. The 3D VR space created can then be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world. Crucially, projects become simple to understand and view for stakeholders unfamiliar with BIM models.
With Igloo integrating VRcollab into its Igloo Immersive Media Player technology, it will be easier than ever for teams of engineers, designers, architects, and stakeholders to connect to visualise and engage with BIM designs.
And as VRcollab can connect people from anywhere with an internet connection in real-time to visit the VR space, it’s possible to have a team of BIM users viewing their virtual model inside an Igloo while other users or stakeholders connect remotely from different offices, countries or continents.
“What excites us is that VRcollab not only makes it easy to bring BIM projects into the Igloo space but that it can connect people from outside to join the virtual model,” said Colin Yellowley, Founder and Managing Director of Igloo Vision. “And that’s what Igloo immersive tech is all about, shared virtual reality for collaboration. It’s possible to get entire teams inside a model at once, and that means it’s easier to explain, it’s easier to communicate. And with VRcollab, it can add people outside the immersive space to join the virtual model. You can use VR headsets alongside your immersive space, or your immersive space alongside your headsets. It’s simple to get your BIM data VR-ready and connectable for anyone.”
“Igloo Vision brings out our vision of making BIM accessible. Igloo’s immersive technology makes coordination meeting much more interactive for all project stakeholders. It adds a whole new dimension to how we visualize BIM,” said Gong Yiwei, co-founder and CTO of VRcollab.
To enhance collaboration for your BIM workflows with Igloo Vision’s immersive technology and VRcollab, contact Igloo Vision on igloovision.com.
Igloo Vision is the immersive workspace company. Igloo designs, develops and delivers immersive 360° domes, cylinders, and all of the enabling technologies.
Stepping inside an Igloo immersive space is a bit like stepping inside a giant VR headset. Any 360° or VR content can be shown. And, because entire groups of people can get inside, it’s always a shared experience. So it’s great for entertainment and experiences. It’s also perfect for collaborative teamwork, training and visualisation.
In its ten-year history, Igloo has worked on several hundred assignments for many of the world’s biggest brands. Headquartered in rural Shropshire, it also has offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Toronto. Find out more at www.igloovision.com.

Download Charlotte rapper's free mixtape, see clip
Charlotte-based hip-hop artist KiDD Saturday's recent video for "The Gamechanger" is worth a look and a listen. There's quite a bit of Charlotte in it and you get a sense of the emcee's personality. His latest mixtape, "T.L.A. The Love Anecdote" is also available for download for free from his website along with some of his earlier work. Click here. It includes the above track as well. There is a parental advisory label on it - so take note. There's also a blip of profanity in the video above, but it's pretty blink-and-you'll-miss-it.
KiDD Saturday's next Charlotte performance is at a multi-genre Battle of the Bands at Tremont Music Hall December 8. Tickets are $10-$12 and are available here.

What’s important in life changes from moment to moment in reaction to the world around us. And it changes in larger ways over time and through experiences. Right now I want to make writing more of a priority.
It’s not that I’m not a working writer. The thing is, so much of “writing” is not writing at all. It’s research, plotting, interviewing and character development. If you’re an outliner, that’s part of writing, too. For me, long walks where I mull over ideas are part of the package. And a lot of “writing” is really editing, copy editing and proofreading.
Then there’s the business side of things – online promotion, keeping in contact with bookstores, setting up signings, networking with other writers, attending conferences, designing marketing packages and posters and postcards and bookmarks – and then having them made. There’s the time you spend working with critique partners, reading others’ books to blurb, seeking out blurbs from other authors and keeping track of what is happening in the industry. Not to mention blogging (which is writing, of course, but of a different ilk) and keeping up with other blogs.
It’s surprising any actual words end up on the page at all.
But today is November 1st. The first day of the rest of our lives – and the first day of 2010’s NaNoWriMo. For those who don’t know, that’s National Novel Writing Month. During November, writers all over the globe will participate in a mass production of words on the page. I tried to go to the website earlier, and Internet Explorer couldn’t load it. It must be completely overloaded today.
Participation in NaNoWriMo allows (forces) you to make writing high priority for a month. Just a month. Heck, that’s not very long. There’s already a light at the end of the tunnel. The goal is 50,000 words of a badly written first draft. It works out to an average of 1,667 words a day. That’s between 6 and 7 pages every day for thirty days.
That’s doable. I know because that’s pretty much the way I like to write rough drafts anyway. That kind of production circumvents your inner critic. The whole point is that however imperfect the draft might be, it’s DONE. And in the meantime, a lot of new writing habits will be formed out there. After November, some folks will just keep putting words onto the page.
Which is what “writing” should really be about, don’t you think?
I’m not officially signing up for NaNoWriMo. Lots of people don’t, but instead participate in spirit by identifying their own goals. Over at the Writing Bug, Jenny talks today about her own personal NoCoQuerMo (Northern Colorado Query Month). What a good idea!
So before the holidays hit full force, this month I’ll be churning out a much higher quotient of words than usual. Alone in my basement office but along with thousands of others.
Are you joining the writing hordes this November?

AMLO announced that the raffle of the presidential plane will take place on September 15 no matter what.
The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), informed this Wednesday, April 8, during his morning conference that the raffle for the presidential plane will not suffer any modification in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
The head of the federal executive said that the raffle will be held on September 15th as planned, so he recalled that the amount collected will be used for medical equipment in the country’s public hospitals.
“We are going to raffle the presidential plane, that will not stop. On September 15, the presidential plane will be raffled off, because since the purpose of the raffle in the first place, was to use the proceeds for the acquisition of medical equipment,” the president said.
The tickets for the raffle of the presidential plane were also purchased by Mexican officials and businessmen whom he thanked for their help, however, the federal president hopes that the prize will be among the very poor.
“Businessmen who want to help are buying lottery tickets, six million numbers will be distributed, and the two billion pesos amount, will be divided in 100 prizes of 20 million pesos each,” explained AMLO in recent days during an event in the state of Guerrero.

The Federal Government has welcomed the Senate’s report into the aged care workforce, saying it will inform the new taskforce charged with developing a strategy.
On Tuesday the Senate released the report of its lengthy inquiry into the sector’s workforce and recommended consideration of nursing requirements in facilities, the publication of staff ratios and new efforts to tackle pay in aged care (read AAA’s story here).
Minister for Aged Care Ken Wyatt said the Senate’s report was timely and would feed into the aged care workforce strategy, which was allocated $2 million in the May budget to establish and support an industry-led workforce strategy.
The taskforce is expected to be established in July, Minister Wyatt said.
“The taskforce will be required to consult widely within the health and aged care sector, and engage with other sectors, including social services, education and employment.
“This is an important time for aged care planning, with the Aged Care Legislated Review due on 1 August 2017 also set to help guide ongoing system reform,” Minister Wyatt said.
He said the Federal Government would consider the Senate’s report and provide a response “in due course.”
Australian Greens Senator Rachel Siewert, chair of the Senate’s community affairs committee which led the inquiry, said it was clear there is currently no plan for how to grow the aged care workforce to meet demand.
“There is a clear need for a workforce strategy and I’m pleased that the government has announced funding to assist in the development of such a strategy. The committee makes a number of recommendations about what that strategy needs to address,” Senator Siewert said.
Australia’s peak doctors’ group welcomed the report’s recommendation for the new workforce taskforce to consider the role of medical and allied health professionals.
Both Aged and Community Services Australia and Leading Age Services Australia welcomed the Senate’s report.
ACSA chief executive Pat Sparrow said the taskforce would play a critical role in shaping the national landscape but also in identifying local approaches, successful programs and opportunities for collaboration, building capability and sustainability.
LASA chief Sean Rooney said that workforce attraction, retention and development had been adversely impacted by previous decision such as the removal of the payroll tax supplement, the fringe benefit tax and the Workforce Development Fund.

Re: Notice of Start of Construction
Partial Roof Replacement
Library / Community Center
Construction activities for the partial roof replacement at the Library & Community Center have been initiated. These construction activities will continue for the next 3 to 4 weeks. Most the activities will occur on the roof of the building. The replacement and installation of roof drains, however, will also impact some of the interior areas.
The contractor for the project, The Imperial Company, Inc. will install rubbish containers to accept roof demolition materials at two locations during the removal of the existing roofing materials. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic using the facility should avoid these areas and use alternate entrances as required.
The availability of parking will also be impacted during completion of the project. Some of the parking areas along the perimeter of the parking lot will be used for storage of roofing materials, placement of rubbish containers, and to provide buffer areas for safe removal of the existing roofing materials. Certain parking spaces and sidewalks adjacent to the library will not be available during certain construction activities for the safety of the public. We would recommend that you avoid these areas over the next several weeks.
The contractor will also be operating construction equipment in the parking area during completion of the work. This may result in minor delays in leaving or entering the parking facility.
We appreciate your patience during the completion of the project.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Jeff Shea, Project Administrator, at email@example.com or tel. 860-693-7855.


The Ducati E-Bikes range is updated for 2022
• The All Mountain MIG-S takes an important evolutionary step in 2022 thanks to the more high-performance Shimano EP8 drive unit and updated components
• The “Limited Edition” version of the e-enduro TK-01 RR is presented, with even more sophisticated components to express the full potential of the bike in downhill sections
For the 2022 season, the Ducati E-MTBs range is updated with an evolution of the MIG-S and the presentation of the TK-01RR Limited Edition.
Giorgio Favaretto, Head of Ducati E-Bikes business – “The Ducati E-Bikes project was born in 2019 and immediately set itself the goal of offering pedal-assist bicycles with which to live unique and memorable experiences. The updates to existing models and the presentation of the new Ducati Futa give a further push in this direction, making up an even more complete and higher-performance range of E-Bikes for 2022. In particular, the inclusion of the Futa allows us to welcome new enthusiasts of this world into our family”.
The Ducati MIG-S is an agile, high-performance and fun All Mountain, born to tackle any trail and ensure maximum fun in any condition. For 2022, the electric mountain bike is renewed in its aesthetics with a brand-new sporty livery which, as in all models in the range, was designed by Aldo Drudi in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati. The MIG-S also takes an important evolutionary step from a technical point of view by welcoming the more high-performance Shimano EP8 engine together with updated components.
The new Shimano EP8 drive unit represents a benchmark for the category. It is an exceptionally light engine (2.6 kg in weight), capable of delivering up to 85 Nm of torque with a maximum servo assistance ratio of 400%. In this engine the torque is always delivered with fluidity and naturalness to ensure excellent control of the vehicle. Thanks to the Shimano Etube Project App, it is also possible at any time to adapt the character of the motor to your needs even via your smartphone wirelessly, by adjusting maximum torque and assistance timing.
The Ducati MIG-S can explore any path, ensuring excellent handling for the rider. The handling of this e-mtb is made possible by the high-level components it is equipped with.
The new suspensions (RockShox 35 RC fork and RockShox SuperDeluxe shock absorber) are adjustable and have a travel of 150 mm at the front and 140 mm at the rear, ideal for tackling any type of path in safety. The 12-speed SRAM transmission is even more precise and reliable, while the brakes are the powerful 4-piston SRAM Guide T with 203 mm discs. The 29″ front and 27.5″ rear THOK e-plus wheels are equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S tyres at the front and Pirelli Scorpion EMTB-S at the rear to offer maximum grip and traction on the most demanding stretches and at higher speeds. The 630Wh Shimano battery is positioned externally, under the downtube, ensuring an extremely low centre of gravity and maximizing stability.
In 2022 the range expands also with the presentation of the new Ducati TK-01RR Limited Edition, an even more exclusive version of the Ducati e-enduro with which to tackle off-road challenges. This limited edition is a concentrate of technology that confirms the key features of the TK-01RR version, but is enriched with more advanced components, with the aim of further improving performance, especially in difficult downhill sections.
The Öhlins DH38 dual-plate motorcycle-style air fork (180 mm travel) and the Öhlins TTX spring shock absorber (170 mm travel) ensure incredible control of the vehicle downhill, while still maintaining great efficiency on uphill stretches.
The 11-speed Shimano Di2 XT rear electronic shifter always provides fast and precise shifting, while the Magura MT7 brakes with 220 mm discs at the front and 203 mm at the rear are also of motorcycle derivation and are among the most powerful available on the market.
The differentiated format Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels (29″ front, 27.5″ rear) with variable thickness carbon rims help to further improve riding precision, guaranteeing an excellent weight / strength ratio. The set-up is completed by a Renthal carbon handlebar, a Fizik saddle with a special integrated tool holder, and finally a carbon battery cover and skid plate.
The models that make up the new Ducati E-Bikes powered by Thok range can be ordered from the Ducati dealer network** and
online at ebike.ducati.com.

text: Obesity, a social problem worldwide, is characterized by an increase in body weight that results in excessive fat accumulation. Obesity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and leads to several diseases, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, fatty liver diseases, and cancer. Growing evidence allows us to understand the critical role of adipose tissue in controlling the physic-pathological mechanisms of obesity and related comorbidities. Recently, adipose tissue, especially in the visceral compartment, has been considered not only as a simple energy depository tissue, but also as an active endocrine organ releasing a variety of biologically active molecules known as adipocytokines or adipokines. Based on the complex interplay between adipokines, obesity is also characterized by chronic low grade inflammation with permanently increased oxidative stress (OS). Over-expression of oxidative stress damages cellular structures together with under-production of anti-oxidant mechanisms, leading to the development of obesity-related complications. The aim of this review is to summarize what is known in the relationship between OS in obesity and obesity-related diseases.

Silicon Valley Power, a nonprofit electric utility, purchased the Santa Clara WiFi assets from MetroFi in September and is now using those assets to pioneer a meter reading program that uses the WiFi access points to transfer information from home energy meters to the company in order to help customers reduce their power bills. The system also offers free outdoor WiFi service to the surrounding neighborhood.
The utility saw the purchase as a significant money saver. It bought the network for $205,000, and the utility says that price saved the company a half million dollars and years worth of time.
Using an Advanced Metering Infrastructure solution, Silicon Valley Power will be able to read a customer's meter every 15 minutes and relay immediate usage information to a customer, allowing the user to reduce energy during peak times or when rates are high.
The city's five-year plan seeks to appropriate $11 million to replace meters throughout Santa Clara and develop the system.
