Roll Over Beethoven: Jeff Lynne's Favourite Albums
Mr Blue Sky works up thirteen of his top LPs
The common complaint from Baker’s Dozen’s many participants is that of the struggle of narrowing down a list of life-long favourite long-players into a relatively compact list of just 13 albums. Not so for Jeff Lynne. Quite the opposite in fact.
“I have had a hard time whittling them up to 13!” he laughs.
Jeff Lynne, singer, songwriter and producer is still best known for his work with ELO, the Beatles-influenced pop monster that gained the approval of the Fab Four. But as Lynne is keen to point out with his choice of albums, there’s so much more to him than the band that truly made his name.
“I’m sorry they’re all by me!” says Lynne by way of apology as he meets the Quietus in the genteel surroundings of a Belgravia hotel.
“Craig, my manager, asked for the list in the car on the way to this hotel and I’m thinking, ‘I don’t know what my favourite albums are off the top of my head right now’ because this is the first time I’ve ever been asked this question,” he says as he explains both his predicament and the rationale behind his final choices.
“I’m going, ‘do you think they’ll mind if I include some of the ones that I’ve produced?’ because I do like those albums and he goes, ‘No, go ahead and do them.’ So I’m sorry about that! But at least I’ve got some stories about them!”
Travelling Wilburys – Volume 1
I’ve chosen this because it was such an amazing thing to happen. It sounds really good and it was such a brand new kind of sound. It really was! Not just because me and George [Harrison] produced it but it was the actual thing of it existing even.
It came about as a whim when I was working with George on Cloud Nine, and he said to me one night after we finished work and we were having a couple of bevies, he said, "you know what? Me and you should have a group." And I said, "well, that’s a good idea. Who would we have in it?"
And he said, "oh, Bob Dylan."
And I said, "oh, Bob Dylan, yeah. How about Roy Orbison?" And I thought we were joking and he says, "yeah, OK. Roy’d be great." And then we both said "Tom Petty". We both loved Tom and we’d met him a couple of times.
Anyway, everybody wanted to join so that was how the Wilburys came about. And so we went to LA, recorded ‘Handle With Care’, at first as a bonus track for George’s single off Cloud Nine, but when [label boss] Mo Ostin heard it he said, "you can’t do that! This is the first track off your new group!" and we all went, "oh yeah! That’s a good idea." ‘Cause we had recorded it in Bob Dylan’s garage, which is pretty amazing. We had a barbeque in his back garden and after that we wrote the words to ‘Handle With Care’, finished the words and George had got the chorus but he hasn’t got the verses so I wrote them at dinner time, sang them in the evening and it was finished. We had to mix it at George’s house later. That’s why it’s interesting to me, how it came about.
The rest of the songs we did in Dave Stewart’s studio and they were all instant songs. Each song only took a day. We gave ourselves one day to write a song so we did ten days and ten songs.
I did have to pinch myself! I got used to it in the end and of course we did another album after Roy had passed but it was a marvellous time and that’s why I chose it.
George Harrison – Cloud Nine
I didn’t know George at that time. I got to know George because of Dave Edmonds. I did a song with Dave Edmonds in Holland because I was doing an album over there – an ELO album – and he rang me up and said, "do you fancy writing a song for me and I’ll come over while you’re there and I can sing it?"
So he came over and we recorded this track together and he played this big six-string bass. We recorded it, finished it and a few weeks later we’re having dinner, finished dinner, went our separate ways and he shouts down the street, "by the way, I forgot to tell you: George Harrison asked me to ask you if you’d like to work on his new album with him!"
I said, "what do you mean, 'by the way'?" [laughs] As if that shouldn’t be the first thing you’d say over dinner! But that’s what happened.
I got invited to George’s and I went there, we got on great and we went to Australia to the Grand Prix together to see if we were going to be pals. And we were. We were great pals and we got on great and we worked together for about 13 years or so.
I love Cloud Nine because it was my first outside production that I’d done; it was a big album. And producing a Beatle wasn’t lost on me. It was like, “fucking hell! This is good, this, innit?”
You know, it was great because I’d just had a year off and playing in my own studio in England and learning to be an engineer, believe it or not. I’d never really mastered engineering; I’d always been a producer and always had to tell the engineer what I wanted because I couldn’t do it myself. I taught myself how to do it myself and I was much more in tune with all the knobs. You know, I knew exactly which little tweak I needed to do because I’d been there doing it in my own studio for about a year.
Tom Petty – Full Moon Fever
This was a bit of a dodgy situation at the time but I didn’t know that. Tom had asked me to work with him and it was a solo record and that was all I knew. It wasn’t with the group. He used Mike [Campbell, Heartbreakers lead guitarist] for guitar and it was Mike’s studio that we recorded in, in his garage in LA.
Tom just stopped me in the street one day in Beverley Hills somewhere and he said, "I’ve just been listening to George Harrison’s new album. I love it. I’m having a barbecue. Do you wanna come?" I couldn’t go so he said, "do you fancy writing some songs together and see what we come up with?" and I said, "yeah, I’d love to!"
So I went round his house the next day and after we wrote one, we then wrote, believe it or not, ‘Freefalling’ which was such a big hit for him. So it worked out great and we carried on doing them in Mike’s garage, which was an amazingly sparse studio. It was a garage full of motorbikes and oil cans and bedsteads and things like that - it was pretty amazing!
Where him and George looking for that panoramic ELO sound? Well, it wasn’t always that panoramic a sound. I was gradually quietening that sound down that ELO had done and there were less strings. In ELO, it used to be a case of, "oooh! String day tomorrow!" and then by about the tenth album it became [adopts dismayed voice] "oh, fucking hell! It’s string day tomorrow." I’d had enough of them. I grew tired of the strings. But that’s not why they asked me. It was more the punch I was doing later on and they just liked the sound that I made, whatever it was. They liked something about it.
Del Shannon – Hats Off To Del Shannon
I’ve always loved Del. He was my first hero when I was young. When 'Runaway’ came out I was only 13 or 14. I had to have my own rock star. Well, they weren’t called ‘rock stars’ then – they were all pop stars. But my sisters had had Elvis – and I loved Elvis of course – but you had to have your own hero, you know? So Del Shannon was my one.
But there’s a great story about Del and ‘Runaway’. He’d made the record and he was on the road and someone had sent him a copy of the record and he put it on his record player, played it and went, "what the fuck?!" It was semitone faster than it should have been! And he phones up his manager and he says, "what the hell have you done to my record?" And the manager said, "oh, we sped it up because we thought it was too slow." And that’s how it is to this day. It’s in B flat minor instead of A minor. Which is amazing and it sounds better when it’s sped up.
I’ve slowed it back down to see what it sounded like when it was originally done and it doesn’t sound as good as the sped-up version. You can tell that his vibrato is really fast and you can tell it’s sped up.
Roy Orbison – Greatest Hits
What a beautiful guy. He was so sweet. I mean, every song he’s done is my favourite. You can’t go wrong with them. Some of the songs aren’t as good as others but most of the ones he wrote with Joe Melson and Bill Dees are great.
I’ve just recorded ‘Running Scared’ for my new album, Longwave, and he once told me that ‘Running Scared’ was his personal favourite of all the songs he’d ever done.
I actually got to work with Roy and be his pal and be his producer and his co-writer on a song called ‘You Got It’ which was a big hit in America and here too. So that was a big thrill for him to have a hit. And it was his first hit in 20 years and we’d done it together and that was a great, marvellous feeling.
In real life, he was actually a very funny guy. And he could do all Monty Python sketches on his own! He did all the parts! When we were doing Wilburys videos, we’d be going in a van to Grand Union Station in LA to film ‘Handle With Care’ and he’d be doing Monty Python sketches. And he’s got this enormous and most infectious giggle you’ve ever heard and we’d all be giggling like schoolgirls after a minute or two and all fucking fall about!
He was a lovely guy and if he was sad he never showed it. When Roy died we did talk about getting someone else in but we thought that nobody could replace Roy Orbison.
Regina Spektor – Far
It’s not an obvious pairing but someone asked me if I wanted to do it and if I’d like to work with her and sent me a couple of her albums. When I heard them I was really blown away with them. I thought, "this girl’s superb"!
She came to my studio and we talked about for a while and she was a lovely girl, very sweet, and her voice is so amazing! So in tune! Beautiful quality and a lovely tone. And a beautiful plumage! [laughs] She was beautiful and I loved her voice and her pitch and her sense of timing was absolutely marvellous, you know? In fact, in her live show, sometimes her drummer is playing his bass drum to her left hand. Her hand’s like a drum machine, almost. Very tight, rhythmically.
And I just love her voice. We laid down four or five tracks with her on piano and sometimes she wanted to do it all at once and I’m going, "hmmm… Don’t do that! Because I’ve got to separate it again and it’s almost impossible to get the separation.’
I wanted to have the complete control that I like; I like total separation and control over the stuff so I can make it sound good. And we did it like that, just one track, and then we did them all separate so she played the piano parts separate and did the vocals separate standing up at a vocal mic and I just really enjoyed it, you know? I still listen back to those songs and I think they’re great.
The Beatles – Revolver
This is pretty amazing. I think this is Geoff Emerick’s first go as engineer. He’d been working there [at Abbey Road studios] but he hadn’t become an engineer yet. When I was working with Paul McCartney on his album, Flaming Pie, Geoff was the engineer as well. He told me what a marvellous thing it was for him because he used this close mic ambience on this album and did some really amazing effects, like on ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’. Backwards stuff and all that and this was pretty advanced stuff in them days. It was more experimental than anything they’d done before.
Some of the tunes on there are just great and it was them nearly getting into Sgt Pepper, you know? Probably doing more experimenting and copying tapes and bouncing them across. They hadn’t got the tracks to do it, really, so they had to use two machines and sometime three machines and then mix everything down from four tracks onto one and then start on another and mix that down to another machine. So it was very difficult to make those records, I would imagine.
How did it sound back in ’66? Way better than everything else, I would say. It stood out like a sore thumb really. It was so tight and beautiful and punchy. It was the punchiest thing around. It was, like, powerful and, it seemed to me, majestic.
The Beatles – Please Please Me
Oh, this is brilliant! And the sound George Martin got on it! I love the opening drumbeat and the bleed with all the drums leaking onto the guitar mics and sometimes onto the vocals if they did the whole track live. The sound of it, to me, was real, raw excitement. They were a great group, they really were. From their days in Hamburg, they were so tight and on that record it really shows how brilliant they were.
I think ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ was probably the greatest ever English rock’n’roll song. I would imagine that it’s a good as any old American rock’n’roll song, like the real thing. The real stuff. As good as a Chuck Berry tune or something. It was as solid as anything I’d ever heard or better.
With the rock’n’roll records I’d started playing a bit by then – not bad, but a bit – and this song was nice and simple but don’t let that simplicity fool you. Some of the hardest stuff to do is the simple stuff, to make it effective and make it real and make it worthwhile. I thought it was unbelievable and I still do. Today, I still think, "how the fuck did you do that"? It was like giving it back to the Americans: "'ere y'are – we can do this as well!"
The Who – Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy
I love the sound of ‘I Can’t Explain’. It’s my favourite and I love all those earlier ones. I used do them onstage with a group called The Nightriders and The Idle Race as well. ‘Pictures Of Lily’ and that kind of stuff. I used to love playing all those Who songs. They had something about them, The Who. It was like magic, the sound. And just watching Pete Townshend, he was always amazing.
Did I ever catch them back in the day? Yeah! Not half! The loudest bloody thing I’ve ever heard in my life! I went to this place called Midnight City in Birmingham and it was quite a big room and everyone was waiting for them: "wow! We’re gonna see The Who!" and they struck up and went BLAAANG! and your earholes would go WOOOOM! and you couldn’t hear a fucking thing! Your hearing was gone! You know when your ears go inside out? And it’s like silence and you can’t hear fuck all for the next 10 minutes until your hearing starts coming back! And gradually you could start hearing them again. It was like a compressor, almost. It was really exciting to hear that when you’re a kid. And the tunes they played were so great. It was beautiful. Fantastic!
The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle
My friend, Ian La Frenais, gave me that, a cassette of it. He goes, "bet you haven’t heard this for a few years" because he’d found it in his drawer. And he gave to me and I played it for months, it must have been. I just loved all the songs on it. I love Colin Blunstone’s voice on it. And lovely, crafted songs. Great harmonies, what more could you want? I love The Zombies. This strikes me as lovely all the way through.
The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds
Is this the ultimate in production? It’s probably one of them. I think you’ll find The Beatles might say that! They were always in competition at that point. You know, I’ve obviously spoken to The Beatles a lot but I like every track on Pet Sounds; I think they’re all equally as good. I couldn’t even pick one out if it because the arrangements were so unusual at the time. I remember it was ’66 and in some parts it sounds like an old dance band. I’d think, "wow"! That’s so old fashioned yet so brand new at the same time. The arrangements were weird with these big harmonicas and funny, deep saxophones and plain little paper cups and playing the drums on them. What the hell was that? Brilliant!
Brian [Wilson] was absolutely marvellous. Luckily for me, I did get to work with him and we wrote a song together called ‘Let It Shine’ on his album, Brian Wilson, in about ’89 or something. I got to know him quite well and he was a lovely guy and we wrote this tune and it was very nice and I’m really glad that I did.
Don Covay And The Goodtimers – Mercy
I love this album. We used to play these tunes in The Idle Race; about two or three songs off that album. For about a year we did them and they were so good to play. That big, rough r'n'b sound. I’ve actually recorded ‘Mercy, Mercy’ on my new album, Longwave. It’s a version like we used to do it – just two guitars, drums and bass and background shouting. It sounds like the old record, really.
I think that sound was important back then. There was a lot of r'n'b going on. Obviously, you had The Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood, who I love – he’s a brilliant guy. He’s one guy I’d like to work with one day. I haven’t seen him for a few years but we used to hang out a bit.
The Marvelettes – Sophisticated Soul
Beautiful drumming and bass playing. And the song I really like is called ‘The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game’. It’s a timeless sound with really wonderful bass parts that are so intriguing. Those kind of soulful bass bits were just wonderful and their voices are so classy. It’s the classiness of it, you know? It’s cool, wonderful rhythm and this is as good as it gets, probably.
It doesn’t take me back, listening to it these days; it just impresses me more. Like, wow! How did they do that? How did they get that sound then? What a beautiful mix. I’m always impressed by the balance of things. I’m blown away by the balance. How they did it, I don’t know. http://thequietus.com/articles/10299-jeff-lynne-favourite-albums-2?fb_action_ids=556089153432&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582&fb_source=aggregation&page=1

When talking to marriage counsellors about the effects of finances in a marriage, what they have said is if finances are not the identified number one reason why people break up, it is in the top three. Finances are such an integral part of a relationship, it effects your future plans and your day to day. We see the stress it causes in our offices every day.
Arguments can start with, “well I didn’t know you/we owed that! We owe how much? Well I didn’t know we spent that! What happened to all our money?” All these statements can be hurtful in any relationship, and the root varies as to why they are made. Sometimes the person tasked with managing the money in the relationship is not good at it or needs help, sometimes there are things that are hidden because of embarrassment or because they know it will cause an argument.
Financial disagreements can and will happen throughout a relationship, but it does hold true that the more you know prior, the easier you can get through it.
The best words of advice you can receive about a relationship is to talk about money from the beginning. The conversation should grow with the relationship. As time goes on it won’t be so much a question and answer, but a natural discussion day to day. If you plan to marry, you need to be comfortable discussing student loans, consumer debt and how you will have a household budget. Not knowing the state of each other’s finances will impact your goals. Applying for your first mortgage together is not the time to find out that your partner is carrying a high amount of student loans or that they have a poor credit rating.
There are many discussions and financial decisions to be made upon marriage. Will you have a joint account? How many credit cards will be used in the household? How will you decide on large purchases? Talk to your friends and family, how do they navigate the financial discussion? What tips can they give you for you to get started?
In the end the conversation is essential to have before you marry so that you are prepared for what lays ahead when you are married.

A controlled trial of sip-feed supplements in elderly orthopaedic patients
Williams, C. M., Driver, L. T., Older, J. and Dickerson, J. W. T. (1989) A controlled trial of sip-feed supplements in elderly orthopaedic patients. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 43 (4). pp. 267-274. ISSN 0954-3007
Full text not archived in this repository.
The potential nutritional and clinical benefits of sip-feed supplements were investigated by means of a controlled trial in elderly female patients admitted for orthopaedic surgery. A nutritional risk assessment procedure (Nutritional Risk Questionnaire, NRQ) was used to identify patients who might benefit from supplementation. Patients identified as high risk who did not receive supplements showed significant losses in triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) and mid-upper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC) measurements during hospitalization. Such changes were not observed in high-risk supplemented patients, but significant losses of MUAMC were also recorded in a group of patients who failed to comply with the supplement. No differences in biochemical parameters, muscle function, or clinical outcome were observed between supplemented and unsupplemented and non-compliant patients. The problems of poor compliance to sip-feed supplements and failure to observe clinical benefit in supplemented patients are discussed.

Index of Lifepo4 Prismatic Manufacturers.
Taken from this thread
It is partial, imperfect, and evolving. If you see errors, have additions, or have questions/comments, comment below.
If you are aware of a manufacturer I missed, or have a brand
you want investigated, mention it in the comments (preferably with a link, and a picture of the cell).
Parameters for being included: (1) LFP or close cousin such as LYP (2) an actual manufacturer (3) offer at least one prismatic cell between 20-500 Ah.
Plastic Case Prismatic Cells
Note: It is my understanding that all of the plastic cased cell manufacturers descend from Thundersky, A company founded in 1998 that splintered (with a fair bit of drama) around 2007.
Aluminum Case Prismatic Cells
|CALB (CA Series)||CALB (SE Series)||Winston||Sinopoly||GBS|
|Frey||CALB (CAM Series)||Higee||Ganfeng|
*Click Images to expand. Almost every cell (including blue aluminums) have visual indicators of manufacturer. Pay particular attention to terminals, QR code placement and features, and vent shape and orientation. Be aware some features vary based on size/capacity/generation.
**Many of these manufacturers are not 'consumer facing,' and do not sell cells through retail channels.
Below are example datasheets for each of the cell manufacturers. By "example," I mean that the specifications apply to the specific model of cell indicated on the datasheet. It should not be assumed that these specifications apply broadly to all of a manufacturers product lines, all models, or all generations/revisions. CALB is the only manufacturer in the list that has each of its 3 product lines listed separately.
*Indicates a concise spec sheet, not a full length datasheet. If you can provide a full datasheet for any of these manufacturers (especially if it is close to 200Ah) it would be greatly appreciated.

Most of us think a vacation is a time to get away, relax, and stop making decisions for a while. Even when you are at “The Happiest Place on Earth”, however, there may be some decisions that have to be made.
Included among the many choices that you have in the Orlando area is the wide variety of theme parks to choose from.
You may be wondering which is better, Epcot or Universal? You might even wonder if you have to make the choice or if you can do both.
Epcot or universal studios is a common discussion meany families have before heading off to the parks for the day.
Understanding a little more about the different parks can help to make the decision easier. Often, it comes down to the age of the people who are visiting and what your expectations are for the day.
Epcot vs Universal Studios – Which Is Better?
Many of us have been going to Disney for years and it may be a time-honored tradition in your family. If that is the case, one of the most important things to consider is the reason why you are visiting the parks.
- Disney tends to be for memories. That includes visiting Epcot, which we may have done since we were little children. We get a nostalgic feeling when we go to Epcot and we want to share that feeling with our family.
Epcot can be a fantastic experience, both for young children and for young and old adults. There seems to be a gap in the middle that is difficult to please at this particular theme park.
Epcot does offer some rides and some of them are fantastic. They also have other things that teenagers and preteens usually enjoy, but most of what that age group would enjoy would be found at Universal.
Here’s an overview video of Disneys Epcot park.
In other words, Epcot can be fun, although some may consider it to be a little on the boring side. If you’re looking for an adventure-packed day that is full of twists, turns, and high-speed adventure, then Universal has more to offer.
Then again, both Epcot and Universal have a lot to offer in their own way. They are both great theme parks, although they are different from each other and are not associated with each other.
Universal Studios vs Islands Of Adventure
Epcot is a Disney park and “Universal Studios” and “Islands Of Adventure” are owned by Universal. These two Universal parks are right next to each other and Epcot is around a 30 min drive.
Perhaps you could start by asking yourself, what is it that you want to see? Doing so will help to make the decision on which park to visit easier.
Check out this overview video of Universals Islands Of Adventure Park.
Epcot vs. Universal for Adults
Another thing to consider is the age of the people who are going to be visiting the parks. If you are an adult that just wants a relaxing day with some adventure as a side thought, then Epcot has a lot to offer.
This includes what most people think about when they visit Epcot, they think about the “big silver golf ball”. Spaceship Earth (The golf ball) has certainly been a mainstay of the park for decades and it is worth visiting, even though the ride is a little on the slow side.
Don’t sell Epcot short, however, because it can offer something for the entire family. As an adult, you are likely to enjoy wandering around the World Showcase and visiting countries without ever leaving the United States.
There is also plenty of good food and drink at Epcot.
Of course, you will find some of the same at Universal Studios, but Epcot is really built around food in many ways. After all, they host a food and wine festival every year that is not to be missed!
On the other hand, if you are a young family with children around 8 years old, it is likely that you are going to have some whining and complaining coming your way during the day. Epcot is fun, but the thrills are few and far between.
Epcot is also a huge park that requires a lot of walking which can quickly become tiring for some younger (and older) guests.
As an adult, you will likely appreciate what Epcot has to offer. It doesn’t matter if you are enjoying the rides or if you are just taking in the World Showcase, it’s a relaxing and enjoyable day.
In fact, it’s the pace that most adults appreciate, not to mention the fact that Epcot is a lot less crowded than Universal.
If you haven’t been to Epcot in a while, it is well worth a visit. They continually update the park and there is always something new to see. If you’ve never been to Universal, it is also worth a visit.
Universal offers both adventure and the studio area, which gives you the ability to slow down and enjoy some shows and maybe some window shopping.
One other factor that should not be overlooked is how the day ends. There is nothing quite like spending a day at a theme park and then watching the fireworks show as the grand finale.
- Both Epcot and Universal offer fireworks but there is a difference. Epcot has a fireworks show that happens every night and they change the show from time to time.
Universal has regular fireworks shows, but they only happen on selected evenings.
As a pro tip, you may want to consider ending your walk around the World Showcase in Mexico. It’s a great place to sit and have a drink and it offers an excellent view of the fireworks. Be sure to get there early and grab some nachos!
How Far Is Epcot from Universal?
If you were to drive, it would take you about 30 minutes to travel the 14 miles between Epcot and Universal. A lot of it depends on traffic and the time of day, but 30 minutes is a significant amount of time when you are sitting in a vehicle while the parks are open.
Here’s a Google map that shows how to drive from Universal to Epcot.
Since Universal and Disney are in direct competition with each other in the Orlando area, there is no transportation that is offered by the parks. You can get transportation from Disney to Universal or vice versa, but it is not always the most convenient.
Perhaps one of the best-known ways to get yourself from Epcot to Universal is using Mears. They are well known, but they are also inconvenient.
Mears does offer a shuttle service and other choices for getting from one area to another but you have to book your trip at least 24 hours in advance. They will pick you up at a resort but they may stop numerous times, extending the time that you are in the shuttle.
Another reason why Mears is inconvenient is because of the return trip. When most people are trying to get from Universal Studios back to their Disney resort, they just want to do so quickly. Mears does not offer that quick option.
- Similar to taking a bus at Disney, you are going to be stopping at every resort along the way until they finally get to your stop. It can be a long drive at the end of a long hot day.
Perhaps the most convenient way for you to get from Epcot to Universal is to take a rideshare service. Most people simply call an Uber or Lyft. It’s relatively inexpensive and convenient.
Check out this YouTube video that shows the drive from the Disney area to the Universal theme parks.
One other option to consider is a taxi. They do tend to be a little more expensive than Uber and other rideshare services, but it is a possibility.
- If you have rented a hire car for your vacation and want to visit both of these parks on the same day, you should also be aware that you will need to pay the parking charges at Epcot and Universal on the same day.
Can You Do Epcot and Universal Studios at The Same Time?
As we discussed, Epcot and Universal Studios are not affiliated with each other. They are within the same area and certainly within driving distance if you want to do both on the same day, but you can’t do both on the same ticket.
Is it possible to do Universal Studios and Epcot on the same day? Absolutely! It’s better if you can take a day at each of the parks, but if you only have one day and want to experience both parks, you can do it with a little planning.
Both Epcot and Universal Studios offer a different overall experience. That is why splitting the day is a choice for families that want more than just one park has to offer.
- Personally, I don’t park hop between these parks on the same day as It means I spend less time away from the entertainment I have already paid for, and I really don’t want to pay for parking twice on the same day!
With this, said you can always keep the kids happy by taking them to Universal in the morning. It will allow you for a more relaxing day in the afternoon as you wander around Epcot and the World Showcase.
The best way to do it is to go to Universal Studios in the morning. Get an early access pass and stay until lunchtime. You can then enjoy Epcot in the afternoon and stick around for the fireworks show.
Can you buy an Epcot And Universal Studio Park Hopper Pass?
Some people who want to do Epcot and Universal studio on the same day would like to have a single pass that allows them to do it. That ticket does not exist.
If you want to do Epcot for half a day, you’re going to have to buy a ticket for the full day. The same is also true for Universal Studio. As discussed this will require extra parking charges as well.
To put it plainly, you are going to pay for two full tickets to visit Epcot and Universal on the same day. You also have part of your day cut out of the middle because of the necessary travel time from park to park.
On rare occasions, Epcot does run a special that offers a midday entry into the park. That special is not offered at this time, but you can always check the Walt Disney World website to see if something comes up.
All in all, you can’t go wrong by visiting either Epcot or Universal. Both are world-class theme parks that offer a lot for people of all ages.
Is Epcot In Universal Studios
No, Epcot is not in Universal Studios. Epcot is a theme park located in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, while Universal Studios is a separate theme park located in the Universal Orlando Resort in the same city.
Although both parks offer attractions and entertainment, they are owned and operated by different companies and have distinct themes and experiences
How Far Is Epcot From Universal Studios
Epcot and Universal Studios are located in different areas of Orlando, Florida. The distance between Epcot and Universal Studios is approximately 14 miles, and it can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to drive between the two parks, depending on traffic and the route taken.
Other transportation options, such as taxis, ride-sharing services, and public transportation, are also available and can vary in travel time and cost

The most helpful articles and blog posts by providers and suppliers are those which convey useful information or suggestions without overtly ramming product down your throat. Those who, like OpenText, are confident about their products and their place in the market, are content to leave the subliminal message that they can help while conveying something useful to readers.
Opentext is one of the largest providers of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools, and has been adding to its range with the acquisition of Recommind and Guidance Software, giving it a strong position in electronic discovery and the forensic acquisition of data.
The OpenText blog carries an article by Janet de Guzman called Brexit – how do you prepare for the unknown? It focuses on the potential for disruption in a major market, on the potential changes to the regulatory framework which affects companies well beyond the UK and the EU, and on what organisations should be thinking about in circumstances where not all the facts are yet available.
The first point made in the article is that the UK will be bound to comply with the terms of the GDPR because it will come into force nearly a year ahead of the earliest date on which Brexit it can take effect. OpenText is not the only one to have come across companies who have actually cancelled GDPR preparations under the misapprehension that Brexit will make them irrelevant.
Since countries which are not members of the EU at all are recognising the need to plan for the GDPR, then it is obvious nonsense to conclude that it will not affect the UK, and OpenText is right to draw attention to this at the top of their article.
Many enthusiasts for Brexit are apparently upset at the idea that the UK will become a “third country” in EU data protection terms, required to meet EU standards just like any other country which wishes to to be involved in worldwide data flows. This does not fit the Brexiteers’ narrative, but “third country” status was always an inevitable result of the Article 50 notice. There is no obvious reason why the EU will want to be generous to the UK.
Other points in the article are similarly worth making, not least that that records and contracts which potentially give rise to post-Brexit problems must be identified. Records may contain personal information, both that which is already caught by the existing data protection laws and the wider range which will be affected by the GDPR. Contracts may include terms which are premised on the UK’s continuing membership of the EU and will need review and possible amendment for that reason.
The obvious subliminal message here is that organisations need systems and skills in place to meet both the (largely) known implications of the GDPR and the (as yet unknown) implications of Brexit. Enterprise Content Management and Information Governance are terms which boil down to “Do you know what data you hold, where it is and what it contains?”
The OpenText article refers also to the extent to which EU law influences employee protection legislation and the (again as yet unknown) extent to which the government will want to modify that.
Last but not least, the article reminds us of the importance of keeping in touch with customers through a period which affects them as well as you.

For a preference to become an offending one for the purpose of Section 43 of the Code, another essential and rather prime requirement is to be satisfied that such event, of giving preference, ought to have happened within and during the specified time, referred to as “relevant time”.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Anuj Jain Interim Resolution Professional for Jaypee Infratech Limited vs. Axis Bank Limited, Civil Appeal Nos. 8512-8527 of 2019, analysed preferential transaction as provided in Section 43 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
The provision of Section 43 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 indicate the intention of legislature that when a transaction falls within the coordinates defined therein, the same shall be deemed to be a preference given at a relevant time and shall not be countenanced. Therefore, intent may not be of a defence or support of any preferential transaction that falls within the ambit of Section 43 of the Code.
While analysing Section 43 and 44 of the Code, Section 44 provides for the consequences of an offending preferential transaction i.e., when the preference is given at a relevant time. Under Section 44, the Adjudicating Authority may pass such orders as to reverse the effect of an offending preferential transaction. Amongst others, the Adjudicating Authority may require any property transferred in connection with giving of preference to be vested in the corporate debtor; it may also release or discharge (wholly or in part) any security interest created by the corporate debtor. The consequences of offending preferential transaction are, obviously, drastic and practically operate towards annulling the effect of such transaction. Looking to the contents, context and consequences, we are at one with the contentions urged on behalf of the respondents with reference to the decisions in Devinder Singh (supra) and other cited cases, that these provisions need to be strictly construed. However, even if we proceed on strict construction of Section 43 of the Code, the underlying principles and the object cannot be lost sight of. In other words, the construction has to be such that leads towards achieving the object of these provisions.
Looking at the broad features of Section 43 of the Code, it is noticed that as per sub-section (1) thereof, when the liquidator or the resolution professional, as the case may be, is of the opinion that the corporate debtor has, at a relevant time, given a preference in such transactions and in such manner as specified in sub-section (2), to any person/persons as referred to in sub-section (4), he is required to apply to the Adjudicating Authority for avoidance of preferential transactions and for one or more of the orders referred to in Section 44. If twin conditions specified in sub-section (2) of Section 43 are satisfied, the transaction would be deemed to be of preference. As per clause (a) of sub-section (2) of Section 43, the transaction, of transfer of property or an interest thereof of the corporate debtor, ought to be for the benefit of a creditor or a surety or a guarantor for or on account of an antecedent financial debt or operational debt or other liabilities owed by the corporate debtor; and as per clause (b) thereof, such transfer ought to be of the effect of putting such creditor or surety or guarantor in beneficial position than it would have been in the event of distribution of assets under Section 53.
However, merely giving of the preference and putting the beneficiary in a better position is not enough. For a preference to become an offending one for the purpose of Section 43 of the Code, another essential and rather prime requirement is to be satisfied that such event, of giving preference, ought to have happened within and during the specified time, referred to as “relevant time”. The relevant time is reckoned, as per sub-section (4) of Section 43 of the Code, in two ways: (a) if the preference is given to a related party (other than an employee), the relevant time is a period of two years preceding the insolvency commencement date; and (b) if the preference is given to a person other than a related party, the relevant time is a period of one year preceding such commencement date. In other words, for a transaction to fall within the mischief sought to be remedied by Sections 43 and 44 of the Code, it ought to be a preferential one answering to the requirements of sub-section (2) of Section 43; and the preference ought to have been given at a relevant time, as specified in sub-section (4) of Section 43.

The municipal corporation’s ambitious 400-bed Greenfield Hospital at Gadakana has run into hurdles in its execution phase. The project to be executed in public-private-partnership mode was finalized on April 7, which is observed as World Health Day, last year. Hyderbad-based Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences had evinced interest in executing the project. The project was scheduled for completion in two years’ time. However, soon after the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the promoter inked the deal to carry out the project, the latter encountered problems in availing loan for it. The promoters say as the land belongs to the BMC, it could not be mortgaged to get loan. An official said that since the project land and building could not be given as security towards loan, the executor has requested the government to create project land and building assets, which could be mortgaged.
“The government considering whether land and building can be provided to the promoters as security for availing loan. Several other projects and executors are also facing similar problems and the urban development department is trying to resolve the issues,” said Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena. If the issue of getting loan can be resolved, there is another problem that the project faces. The promoter has informed the government that it would not be possible to provide free healthcare services to people below poverty line people. This, the promoter said, would entail a heavy financial burden on it. According to the agreement, 45 percent of the bed will be for people belonging to the economically weaker sections of society. Sources said that the housing and urban development department had called a high-level meeting to come up with solutions. “We have called on the departments to sit and discuss the issues,” said an official of the urban development department.
Official sources hinted that if the promoters insisted on not providing free services to economically weaker sections, the option to terminate the contract would be explored. The delay in implementing the project has pushed up its estimated cost from ₹200 crore to ₹255 crore. “The promoter has formed a special purpose vehicle for execution of the hospital project, but with the passage of time a number of problems have cropped up. The deadline for the project is April next year. The promoter will be penalized if it misses the deadline,” said a senior civic body official. This is not the first time that the hospital project has faced problems. In 2016, the civic body had struck a deal with a Calcutta firm, but it had to be cancelled. – Telegraph India

A Audi A6L car with a distance of about 130 thousand km. Customer response: after the vehicle starts, the engine idle speed is about 1000r/min, and the speed does not decrease. Fault diagnosis: first test car, test car did not find fault phenomenon, vehicle after maintenance, start the engine, found idle speed around 1000r/min, speed does not reduce, instrument generator alarm light light. The cause of the high idle speed of the A6L engine is usually due to the damage of the crankcase ventilation valve, which causes a large amount of gas to enter the cylinder in the crankcase; the active carbon tank solenoid valve will also lead to high idle speed, and the throttle card can also cause high idle speed in a certain position. The fault free storage in the engine control unit is detected by VAS5052, and the fault code in the gateway J533 shows that the battery monitoring and control unit J367 has a fault, and the fault code can be deleted. Considering that the generator alarm lamp is lit, the reason for the high idle speed may be related to it. Because the A61 - model has the power management control unit J644, J644 has many functions, one of which is to improve the engine idle speed, to optimize the power supply and battery charging voltage of the vehicle. The 2009 Audi A6L cancelled the J644, and the energy management of the battery was operated by gateway J533. The J533 is connected to the battery monitoring and control unit J367 through a LIN conductor. J367 is used to detect three parameters of battery charging and discharging current, battery voltage and battery temperature. Now, because of the failure of the J367, the three parameters of its monitoring are inaccurate, and the error information is transmitted to the J533. J533 is mistaken for the insufficient charging voltage of the battery, sending out information to the engine control unit, and requiring the engine to lift the idle speed to improve the charging voltage. After replacing the battery monitoring and control unit J367, troubleshooting.

III International Technical Forum on High Pressure Die Casting
A new edition of this international event toke place on the 26th of November in the Automotive Intelligence Center (AIC) with an outstanding working program ahead.
The contents of the Forum will deal with important areas of knowledge within the high pressure die casting technology, with the participation of recognized international specialists from reference European companies.
The automotive sector is constantly aiming for lightweight strategies in vehicles, looking to improve the environmental impact and the vehicle emissions. This weight reduction can be achieved by incorporating lower density materials, such as aluminum.
High pressure die casting is a technology that can produce very competitive aluminum components for large automotive series, mainly for power train and transmission. The development of this technology is allowing certain injected parts to comply the specific requirements from the structural components, improving significantly their mechanical strength, ductility, weldability, so that they can be included as well in the vehicle chassis.
This technical framework counts with the collaboration of lecturers and specialists from the companies GEORG FISCHER AUTOMOTIVE, NEMAK Poland, BÜHLER, CHEM TREND, ELECTRONICS GmbH and from the IK4-AZTERLAN Metallurgical Center.
The different areas of knowledge shared, the high level and expertise from the diverse speakers along with the practical interest and the innovation level of some of the topics addressed have been some of the main success elements of this technical meeting that has become an international reference among the industry.
More than 130 technicians from 62 different companies have taken part in this international technical working frame.


The SilverStone Strider Plus SST-ST1000-P is aimed at the casual user up to enthusiast gamers. It can deliver power to a range of system components that includes mid- to high-end PCI Express graphics cards.
Under our lab testing, the Strider Plus achieved 100 per cent of the manufacturer's claimed performance based on real-world scenarios involving the most commonly used 12 volt rail.
In terms of total efficiency, the Strider Plus lagged behind the other high-range power supplies, such as the Antec TruePower Quattro 1200 and the Nexus RX-1.1K Gold.
However, if you wanted to drag a compliment from us we'd say it performed satisfactory in terms of standby efficiency, achieving the average in this class.
As a PSU topping 1,000 watts, it also produced less decibel noise compared to similar power supplies such as the Antec and the Nexus units, being one of the quietest in its class. Despite the low-noise levels the fan did a good job venting heat, and even the cables did not significantly heat up during high loads.
Despite these good points, vitally, the tested rails exceeded the ATX-specified tolerances, falling outside the standard. The SilverStone Strider Plus SST-ST1000-P also produced a fair amount of jitter at a 75 per cent voltage load.
In a master class of understatement, the PSU has one of the most minimalist black casings we've seen, with only the 135mm fan being of note, generally larger than even the Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200W. The rear of the power supply is the standard honeycomb grate, used as an exhaust to vent excess heat.
The build quality of the SilverStone Strider Plus is generally good. It is of a standard design with dimensions of 160x85x150mm. Despite this, the Strider Plus is a fat fella, weighing in at a hefty 3.064kg. The manufacturers' stated AC power input is 100-240v 12A-6A 60-50Hz.
The SilverStone unit comes with a total of 23 output connectors; 1x ATX 20/24-pin connector, 2x ATX 8-pin connector, 4x PCI Express 6/8-pin connectors, 2x PCI Express 6-pin connectors, 6x SATA connectors, 6x 4-pin peripheral (MOLEX) connectors, and 2x floppy connectors.
In terms of overall performance the Strider Plus was a disappointment, not performing as well as the other PSUs in its class. The unit could further benefit by improving total power efficiency and reducing the voltage noise.

After dropping the incredible Anderson .Paak assisted single “Dang!” earlier this month, Mac Miller has once again blessed us with a new track “We”, this time featuring the hard-to-find Cee Lo Green. While “We” is certainly a musical departure from the house inspired sound that permeated his previous single, it’s clear that love and all of its complications are still on Mac’s mind. The song opens with a soulful choir of “oohs” before Mac launches into his verse, “Well you ain’t in the mood to argue/Baby don’t you worry, this some s**t to get along to”.
The instrumental is as beautiful as it is wistful and Cee Lo does a fantastic job closing out the track in his signature style. Considering the scope of just the first two singles, The Divine Feminine is proof that the Pittsburgh-native is nowhere close to exhausting his seemingly boundless creativity.
“We” is set to appear on Mac’s upcoming fourth album, The Divine Feminine, which is slated to drop on September 16th. Mac revealed the entire track list to the project yesterday as well, with big names Ariana Grande and Kendrick Lamar making appearances. Both artists have already collaborated with Mac before, on cuts “My Way” and “Fight The Feeling” respectively. Peep the entire list below.
1. Congratulations (feat. Bilal)
2. Dang! (feat. Anderson .Paak)

A Houston-area woman is suing the federal government after U.S. Customs detained her at an airport and seized more than $40,000 from her.
On Halloween, Anthonia Nwaorie, a Katy nurse, was boarding her flight from George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Nigeria when U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers stopped her and seized the $41,377 that she was carrying on her person. Her alleged crime? A currency reporting violation.
The officers disregarded the fact that the cash was lawfully earned and intended to be used in a lawful manner. Nwaorie was taking it to Nigeria to open a medical clinic for women and children.
Nwaorie said that $30,000 of the money was from years of saving for this endeavor and the rest was from family who contributed to cover other expenses. Nwaorie said she knew of currency requirements for entering the country, but not leaving it.
If her crime was leaving the country without declaring that she was carrying more than $10,000, CBP solved that problem by seizing her money and detaining her long enough to miss her flight, so technically no money left the country.
After the confiscation, the CBP sent Nwaorie a seizure notice, but she responded by requesting her case be referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for a judicial proceeding rather than the CBP’s administrative proceeding. Ultimately, the U.S. Attorneys’ Office declined to pursue the case and the government failed to file a forfeiture complaint within the 90-day allotted window, forcing them to return her cash immediately.
However, according to Nwaorie’s suit, instead of returning the cash promptly as state law requires, the CBP sent her a letter saying the return of her property was contingent upon her signing a Hold Harmless Agreement that would have waved her constitutional and statutory rights.
“The letter stated that if Anthonia did not sign the Hold Harmless Agreement within 30 days from the date of the letter, ‘administrative forfeiture proceedings will be initiated.’” But, if she signed the letter they said she would receive a “refund” check for the entire seized amount within 8 to 10 weeks.
Nwaorie’s suit claims that the practice of requiring claimants to sign away their rights in return for their refund check violates federal law regarding civil asset forfeiture cases. She also said it violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment “by imposing unconstitutional conditions.”
The filing continues, “To redress and prevent these systematic abuses, Plaintiff seeks class-wide injunctive and declaratory relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure and a court order.”
Her other claim demands the return of her money, with interest, because the government failed to timely file a forfeiture complaint.
While Nwaorie’s assets were seized in Houston, it was done under color of federal law. This is just another example of the need to address civil asset forfeiture on both levels of government. Out of the small pool of claimants who do want to fight back against unjust seizures, many of them don’t have the resources to engage in a drawn-out legal battle against federal or state authorities.
What makes this situation worse is that the government decided against pursuing the forfeiture, yet still refused to return the seized assets without further conditions. Nwaorie’s case adds to the growing chorus calling for the need to end civil asset forfeiture.

The vast majority of funding that supports the operation of Public Libraries comes from county and local governments. At times, grant funding may be available for specific programs, projects, or capital improvements. Fees for special programs and services account for a relatively small percentage of revenue for Public Libraries.
Friends of the Library are organizations formed to support their local Public Libraries. They typically establish themselves as independent, non-profit organizations that conduct fundraising to supplement Library resources and organize Library related events.
The Dewey Decimal system is a classification system used in many libraries to organize their books. The classification number allows for books to easily be located or returned to their assigned place in the library. The system is constantly revised to keep up with changes in the libraries.

The Consumer report, a consumer culture magazine sponsored by the American Consumer Union (Consumers Union), recently ranked new smartphones, with Apple's new iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max selected.
The Consumer report praised the improvement in iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max battery life, with the iPhone 11 Pro Max running for 40.5 hours in the host's test, a "huge change" from 29.5 hours for iPhone XS Max. At the same time, the iPhone 11 Pro lasted 34 hours, while the iPhone 11 ran for 27.5 hours.
To figure out how long a cell phone's battery can last, consumer reports uses automatically programmed mechanical fingers to complete a series of simulations of consumers using the phone on average a day. Robots use the phone to browse the internet, take photos, use GPS navigation and, of course, dial the phone.
In terms of camera quality, the Consumer report is not detailed in the ranking, but indicates that these devices received the "highest score" in the photography category. As far as the image quality of the rear camera is concerned, all three iPhone 11 models get a "very good" rating, which keeps them in line with competitors.
The enhanced durability of the iPhone 11 series has also been well received. All three mobile phones passed the water resistance test. IPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max passed the 100 drop durability test. Unfortunately, two iPhone 11 Pro samples were damaged in the drop test.
In the end, the Consumer report scored 95 points for iPhone 11 Pro Max, followed by iPhone 11 Pro 92 points. IPhone 11 scored 89 points, ranking eighth on the whole.
The following is the top ten list:1. iPhone 11 Pro Max2. iPhone 11 Pro3. Samsung Galaxy S104. iPhone XS Max5. Samsung Galaxy S106. Samsung Galaxy Note107.iPhone XS8.iPhone 119. Samsung Galaxy Note 105G

For a while, it looked like Andale’s boys were going to cruise. Then it seemed like the Indians were doomed.
It was a strange quarterfinal game at the Class 4A basketball tournament, but Andale left the Bicentennial Center with a 54-52 victory over Kansas City Piper that players won’t soon forget.
“This feels really good right now,” Andale senior Gerad Deaver said. “It gives us quite a bit of momentum.”
Come-from-behind victories usually do. What made this game thrilling, though, was that it looked like Piper was going to be the team fighting from behind in the first quarter. Andale scored the first nine points, forcing Piper to call a timeout and regroup.
But regroup they did. Piper led 13-11 at the end of the first quarter, 25-19 at the half and 50-43 with the clock ticking down in the fourth quarter.
The Indians needed a furious rally in the final four minutes, but they got it when Boo Knoblauch hit a three-pointer and Deaver got going inside to spark an 11-2 run that won them the game.
“It’s a team that has been building,” Andale coach Jeff Buchanan said. “This group has constantly gotten better each and every game this year. It goes back to when these guys were part of the group suiting up at state two years ago. They learned. These guys got it done. When we lost the lead in the first quarter it was the same thing. They learned from it.”
The main thing they learned was to remain determined. After Knoblauch’s three, Jason Hermreck hit a driving layup to cut the score to 50-49 and Deaver scored a put-back layup to give Andale a 51-50 lead.
Piper answered back with a driving layup from Calvin Johnson with about one minute remaining, but Deaver made two free throws to give Andale up for good with 42 seconds to go.
“I just blocked out the pressure and focused on the rim,” Deaver said. “I haven’t been doing good on free throws lately. Coach just told me to slow down so I slowed down.”
When the final buzzer sounded, Andale players poured on the court to celebrate a victory that moved them to Friday’s semifinals against unbeaten Ottawa.
Deaver said he was proud of his teammates for “buckling down” with the game on the line. Buchanan thought it was the type of moment that can propel his team to even bigger things.
“It has to,” Buchanan said. “It gives you anytime you can overcome that first-round game it is going to be big. First round at state is tough. You’re getting used to the atmosphere and some of the kids have never been here before. It’s a different atmosphere and a different style of game. I think they learned from it and will give us a boost going into a game with a very good Ottawa team.”
Highland Park 65, Winfield 49 — As satisfying as it was for Winfield coach Troy Lallemand watch the Vikings challenge Highland Park throughout the first half, he knew the biggest challenge was still to come.
“They are the No. 1 team in the state,” Lallemand said. “They are undefeated. We told them right before we took the floor in the second half, ‘They are going to make a push.’ They are going to come out with a little bit more intensity.”
Winfield couldn’t match it. Highland Park surged ahead 52-36 in the third quarter and controlled the game from there.
Will Adler scored 17 points to give Winfield a chance, while Jonathan Mays scored 11 points and Tucker Hoover chipped in 10 points. They helped Winfield have a successful season and finish with a 14-10 record. Highland Park was too strong in the first round of the state tournament, but Lallemand was proud of what his team accomplished.
“This was our best season we have had in a while,” he said. “We had 14 wins. We beat Andale, who is in the final four. We went through Collegiate, we saw Trinity, all these teams. We have only had 11 winning seasons in the last 41 years of basketball. This group was trying to put us on the map a little bit. That was our goal. Their goal was to get to Salina. They did a great job getting here.”
Ottawa 76, Anderson County 44 — Semi Ojeleye broke another state scoring record Wednesday. The Ottawa senior, and Duke signee, passed Steve Cadue for the most points in a single season. He has 880 points on the year with 32 of them coming during an easy victory over Anderson County.
It was obvious he was in for a big day when he scored the first points of the game with a transition dunk.
“It’s absolutely amazing the things he does,” Ottawa coach Jon McKowen said.
Ojeleye remained humble when he learned he set a record. Though he was proud of the achievement, he is focusing solely on winning his first state championship this week.
“I couldn’t do it without my teammates,” Ojeleye said. “Everything is happening so fast. After the season I will be able to sit down and enjoy it.”

The Luigi's Mansion series exists solely to answer the question "do you want to bust ghosts with a goo-tastic duplicate of yourself?" and Luigi's Mansion 3 is no exception. Naturally, the answer to that question is always an enthusiastic yes. Unless you don't have a soul, in which case you aren't playing Nintendo games anyway.
The controls for Luigi's Mansion 3 are familiar for fans of the series, but they can be a bit difficult to control if you haven't played the games before, or if it's been a while. So there is that to keep in mind. The button mapping is a bit non-standard, which can be both a blessing and a curse for the player, because you just might do something so stupidly wrong that it actually works.
The game's core is still essentially the same as the previous games, with a few tweaks and updates, but the essential gameplay experience should be absolutely familiar.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is exactly what you'd expect of Luigi's Mansion, in only the best ways. There isn't a lot to the game that's not ideal. The puzzles are just challenging enough to be fun, the combat is just tricky enough to be a surprise, and the humor is spot-on perfect.
Luigi's Mansion 3 will release October 31, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch. Because there's really no better way to spend your Halloween.

■ We would seek to overturn the EU ban on the use of herbal medicines and home remedies .
Mental Health Reform
Fís Nua calls for the immediate implementation, within the Health Service Executive (HSE), of the 5-point plan of the Campaign group Mental Health Reform as follows:
1. Establish an Accountable Structure: Establish a dedicated executive position at the highest level of the HSE that is responsible for implementing A Vision for Change. This should be led by a Director for Mental Health Services who has executive powers, an implementation budget and responsibility to report publicly on progress.
2. Publish a Plan: Publish a comprehensive implementation plan for A Vision for Change setting out deliverables, a timeline and who is responsible.
3. Financial Commitment: Commit to raising funding of mental health services from 5% to 8% of the health budget by 2016 and to clear reporting on mental health spending.
4. Enact Legislation: Enact legislation to improve the health service’s accountability for planning and financing mental health service reform.
5. Promote Cross-departmental Action: Promote specific cross-departmental action on mental health and the implementation of the National Disability Strategy to effectively combat social exclusion, prejudice and discrimination against people with mental health problems.
■ We must have independent inquiries into the social services that are responsible for childcare, and have so very much let our children down. There must be legislation introduced immediately to protect our children.
■ Introduce a Guardian Ad Litem service for all children at risk.

Passersby in the Eaux-Vives neighbourhood were shocked to see the dead man’s arm dangling from an opening in the bin on Sunday.
The victim, a foreigner born in 1990, died from asphyxiation from a “compression of the neck”, the Tribune de Genève newspaper reported, citing information it obtained from an autopsy.
Forensic scientists found no other signs of traumatic injury, the newspaper said.
Prosecutor Dario Nikolic believes the death was probably accidental, although the investigation is continuing and the possibility of a criminal act has not been completely ruled out.
It remains unclear what the man was doing in the clothes box, whether he was trying to retrieve clothes or seek a warm place to sleep during what was reported to be a cold night.
Nikolic has ordered toxicology analysis to determine whether the man was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but the results from this will not be known for several months, the Tribune de Genève said.
Investigators have also taken DNA samples for analysis and are continuing to question residents in the neighbourhood.

If you’re serious about exploring the idea of donating your eggs, you know that the screening process includes a detailed look at your family’s medical history. This helps our donor egg recipients, know about any inherited diseases or genetic disorders for the health of their future children. But knowing your own family history also helps you, the egg donor. This history is part of you and it’s something you deserve to know about. But getting all of this information can be tricky. Here’s a rundown on the information you need to provide for our egg donation application, and tips for obtaining it.
Family History You Need to Know
First of all, egg donors need to provide a detailed family profile of their nuclear family (mother, father, and siblings). This includes physical features such as eye and hair color, religious and ethnic background, and any special talents. It’s important that our egg recipients know about their egg donors as people, in addition to their medical history, and this information is very helpful.
When you apply, you’ll also need to have on hand medical history about not only you and both of your parents, but your siblings and your own children, if you have any. You’ll also need to know about your aunts, uncles, and grandparents on both your mother’s and father’s side. This honest information is vital for the well-being to our hopeful recipients and their future children.
Here’s the medical information you’ll need to provide for your family members:
- Ethnic background
- Current age
- If the relative is deceased, the age and cause of death
- Any genetic, medical, or health condition. These include:
- Heart problems
- Blood conditions
- Respiratory conditions
- Urinary conditions
- Skin or dermatological issues
- Muscle, bone, or joint conditions
- Problems with the endocrine system or metabolism
- Neurological conditions
- Issues with vision, hearing, or other senses including the sense of smell
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Reproductive health problems, including miscarriages
- History of cancer
- Birth defects
- Any mental health conditions
- Any history of substance abuse
How Do You Obtain Your Family’s Info?
This may seem like a long list, but it’s all vital info for the screening process. So how do you go about finding all this information? The best way is simply to ask! Chances are, your family members will love to share, especially your grandparents and older relatives. (Let’s be honest—people like to talk about themselves.) These conversations might help you have closer relationships, and you’ll learn more about your family and yourself at the same time.
But what if these questions feel awkward? What if you’re not ready to share your egg donation plans? If you’re uncomfortable broaching the topic, here are some creative ways to start the conversation about family medical history:
- “I need it for my own personal knowledge.” Everyone wants to find out more about themselves, and one way to start is by looking at our families. (That’s one reason genealogy is growing in popularity.) You can also say you’d like this information if you’re interested in starting your own family one day.
- “I need it for a class project.” Are you a student? Many subjects offer a reason to explore your own history, from biology to history to psychology. (And who knows—you might actually have a class that uses family history in your future.)
- “I’m seeing a new doctor and they requested this information.” Many medical professionals want to know your family’s medical history, it would not be out of the ordinary to need this information when seeing a new doctor, especially an OB/GYN.
- “A friend got her family medical history, and it was really helpful for her.” Talking about “a friend” can often help an awkward conversation get started.
Beyond being an egg donor, your family history involves your health and well-being too. This valuable information could help you when you have your own family in the future, and help you understand more about your own background. Think you’re ready? Check out our assessment. Or if you have more questions about the egg donor requirements see our FAQs or contact us.
