What do you get the Disney fan who has everything? Possibly a copy of the new book Walt Disney’s Disneyland, a detailed and beautiful visual history of the world’s most famous theme park in Anaheim, California.
The book explores the incredible conception and development behind the attraction and continues on to chart the six decades of the park’s history since its grand opening on 17 July, 1955. The author, Chris Nichols, had access to what he calls a “treasure trove of original Disney documentation.”
Inside the hardcover book, you’ll find posters, original designs and unique photographs that help trace the park’s development from acres of orange groves and walnut trees to the “happiest place on Earth”. Now Disney has theme parks all over the world but the original California park is the only one to have been personally overseen by Walt Disney himself.
Walt Disney’s Disneyland goes on a deep-dive through each of its lands, including Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Main Street, U.S.A. There are plenty of photos from the day of the opening and some fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how the theme park came together.
While the book is perfect for history aficionados and some 1950s nostalgia, the story of Disneyland is certainly not finished yet. The long-awaited Pixar Pier opened earlier this year while there are plenty of new openings to look forward to, most famously the new Star Wars Land in 2019.
For those looking for the darker side of Disney myth, however, the book is unlikely to reveal any ‘secrets’ of Disneyland. Fans were taken by surprise earlier this year when park officials confirmed a persistent rumour; it’s a surprisingly popular place for people trying to scatter the ashes of their deceased loved ones.
5 unusual facts about Disneyland
– It’s home to a private club called Club 33. It has a waiting list of about 15 years and a fee of $25,000 to join but on the upside, it’s the only place in the park with a fully stocked alcohol bar.
– Many feral cats live there. They are kept well fed, neutered and cared for in exchange for dealing with any rodents (apart from Mickey and Minnie). According to history, they were originally found at the site of the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
– There’s a ‘lost land’ at the park. Holidayland lasted just over four years and is now the location of backstage facilities for other famous attractions.
– Pirates of the Caribbean is the last ride at the park that Walt Disney personally oversaw and helped develop.
– The price of admission to Disneyland has risen from $10.75 in 1981 to up to $135 today, depending on demand at the time.
Walt Disney’s Disneyland is available to purchase online now.

HUDSON–Property taxes and opioid abuse were among the matters taken up at the Columbia County Board of Supervisors full board meeting Wednesday, March 8.
The board voted to increase the maximum exemption on county property taxes available to veterans and Gold Star Parents for the entire County. Under the new law qualifying veterans are allowed to subtract a certain amount from the assessed value of their property and calculate their property taxes using the reduced value.
Those qualifying as Combat Zone Veterans may deduct $24,000 from their property’s value, those qualifying as Wartime Veterans may deduct $36,000, and those qualifying as Disabled Veterans may deduct 50% of their disability rating up to a maximum of $120,000. Gold Star Parents, that is, parents “of a child who died in the line of duty while serving the United States armed forces during a period of war,” are eligible for the same exemption that their deceased child would have received.
The meeting began with a public hearing to discuss the new law, but nobody from the community spoke. The measure passed with one abstention and all the other supervisors voting for it.
“It’s a very strong statement that the people of Columbia County support our veterans,” said Supervisor Maria Lull (R-Chatham). “How do you attract a volunteer army?”
“I don’t think we’re doing enough nationwide, let alone locally,” said Supervisor William Hughes (D-Hudson, 4th Ward). “This [new law] at least does something.”
Gary Flaherty, executive director of the county Veterans’ Service Bureau, said that he wanted to “emphasize that as veterans we appreciate the help we get from our county supervisors.”
On another issue, Supervisor Matt Murell (R-Stockport), chairman of the Board of Supervisors, announced the appointment of Keith Stack, former supervisor of Kinderhook, as legislative aide to the Opioid Crisis Response Task Force, which Mr. Murell he formed at the beginning of the year to address the nationwide opioid abuse crisis pro-actively. Mr. Stack is CEO of the Addictions Care Center of Albany and has already participated in task force work. Mr. Murell said Mr. Stack would “not replace but enhance” what the Task Force is already doing and said Mr. Stack’s appointment is intended “to double down and show we’re serious about addressing the opioid abuse crisis.”
Later by phone Mr. Murell indicated that the County is paying Mr. Stack $10,000 for his services to the Task Force this year. (A story on the most recent meeting of the county Opioid Crisis Response Task Force appears elsewhere in this issue.)
Also at the March 8 meeting the board authorized Public Defender Robert Linville to apply to the state Indigent Legal Services for a grant to for two staff attorneys to serve as “counsel at first appearance” for people who face a judge for the first time after their arrest between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The grant, if awarded would fund each attorney to “work five nights on and five nights off throughout the month.” While awaiting calls summoning them to court because of nighttime arrests, the night duty attorney would be stationed in the office of the public defender working] on “legal defense documents.”
Later by phone Mr. Linville said that his goal was that every defendant “have a lawyer every time he or she is brought before a judge,” including arraignment.
The next meeting of the full county Board of Supervisors will be Wednesday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m. at 401 State Street.

The iroko is the king of the forest
In March 2012, one Ugochi Oyenekwe, iROKOtv’s first-ever employee, partnered with a number of movie producers to set up Real Nolly, a similar enterprise.
With revenue looking good, it is little wonder that challengers to iROKOtv are emerging.
In March 2012, one Ugochi Oyenekwe, iROKOtv’s first-ever employee, who also happens to be Jason’s cousin, partnered with a number of movie producers to set up Real Nolly, a similar enterprise. An act of betrayal at the time, but Jason waves it off, saying “I was annoyed at the time, but I don’t let such things distract me from my own business”.
The cockiness is not unjustified; iROKOtv seems to have called dibs on Nollywood and is clearly the market leader, despite the little successes of other competitors that have emerged during the course of its existence. This is down to a few factors other than its obvious ability to attract funding.
First and foremost, its budget for acquiring content dwarfs that of its competitors, including Real Nolly. Before iROKOtv and other streaming firms ventured into the industry, a movie would sell on average 50 000 copies for $0.50-$1 each, with only a few reaching 200 000 sales.
For the producer and his marketer, the proceeds would be just enough to recoup funds spent – somewhere in the region of $15 000, often far less – and make a tidy little profit for one’s efforts. Now, with Njoku’s distribution, it is possible to get between $10 000 and $25 000 extra, the amount he pays for distribution rights to each title for a period of three years.
Another was the smaller outfit Pana TV, founded by Harvard alumnus David Ogbonna, which hit the headlines in June 2014 when it acquired exclusive rights to Half of a Yellow Sun, a Hollywood-Nollywood mash-up. It has since faded out. More recent competitors include TRACE Play, Ibakatv and Netflix, which entered Africa in 2016.
On the matter of views, irokotv also trumps the others by a large margin. While Njoku’s company has aggregated just under one billion views across its YouTube channels, Real Nolly lags behind with 243 million views. As for Pana TV, no single video has more than 15 000 views on its YouTube channel.
Irokotv’s website also has massive user traction, and with more than 600,000 movies available to subscribers, the company appears to have, as Njoku boasts, “not just altered the status quo, we’ve redefined the industry and added value, having developed and pioneered a whole new distribution arm for Nollywood, pumping millions of dollars into the industry and giving viewers a better choice of what they can watch, wherever they are.”
It is hard to dispute this when the figures are stacked in his favour. iRokotv remains the largest global distributor of African content, most of it from Nigeria's film industry.
These days, Mrs Njoku finds it less stressful to watch her favourite movies now that her boy is off the couch and heading the largest distribution Nollywood has ever seen. As she curls up on her couch clutching her preferred streaming device, the memory of a frustrated Njoku moving back into her old flat must be fading into oblivion – very much like a Nollywood ghost.

NORFOLK, Neb.-- Health officials in northeastern Nebraska are tracking down those who might have been exposed to a Norfolk student diagnosed with tuberculosis.
The Elkhorn Logan Valley Public Health Department has worked with the student's family to compile a list of people who may have been in contact with the student.
Tuberculosis is a contagious lung disease that's relatively rare in the United States. State health records say only 125 cases were recorded in Nebraska from 2009 through 2013. Federal records say that in 2013 only 9,600 new U.S. tuberculosis cases were reported.
Parents of students at Park Avenue Christian School were given information Wednesday night at a meeting arranged by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

Dog ownership provides a great opportunity to increase our exercise and activity levels, but that is just the beginning of the benefits for your furry friend. Regular walks provide more than just necessary exercise, with numerous benefits in addition to those that are physical. It is common knowledge that one of the main contributors of troublesome behavior in our pet dogs is excess energy and boredom. Rather than punishing your dog's misbehavior, it may be more effective to take it as a sign that they need more activity. Walking your dog every day will help you and them, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Getting your dog outside and sniffing will help them to lead a more enjoyable life!
While on their walks, pet dogs get a lot of sensory stimulation that helps them to feel energized and curious; this can improve their overall disposition. They also have the opportunity to interact with other people and pets and expand their world beyond the house and the backyard. If your dog is starting to misbehave or has grown lethargic, increasing the frequency and length of their walks may be just what the doctor ordered! A 30-minute walk is ideal, at a frequency of 5 times per week. Many owners like to take Fido out for two quick walks with one longer one at the end of the day. However it works into your schedule, a regular exercise session will help you both remain healthy and happy!
Dogs are social creatures by nature, and they love to explore their territories and check out all of the smells! Pairing up with a friend or neighbor can help both you and the dogs to gain even more from your work. Regular exercise can also add longevity to both of your lives. There is no time like the present to get out there and get moving!
Regular walks are just one part of a comprehensive care plan for your pet's wellness. Dr. Tatro and the team welcome the opportunity to care for your dog or other pet. Please call our office today at (309) 663-1414 to schedule an appointment. The Fairway Knolls Veterinary Hospital is conveniently located at 612 IAA Drive in Bloomington.

The price for renting a big dumpster, also known as a roll-off dumpster, can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the dumpster, rental duration, location, and additional services needed. Here are some general pricing guidelines for big dumpster rental:
- Dumpster Size: The size of the dumpster is one of the primary factors influencing the rental price. Larger dumpsters typically cost more to rent than smaller ones due to their increased capacity. Common sizes for big dumpsters range from 20 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards or more.
- Rental Duration: The rental duration also impacts the cost of renting a big dumpster. Most rental companies offer daily, weekly, or monthly rental options, with longer rental periods generally resulting in lower daily rates. However, some companies may charge additional fees for extended rental periods.
- Location: Rental prices may vary depending on your location and the availability of rental companies in your area. Urban areas with higher demand for dumpsters may have higher rental prices compared to rural areas with fewer rental options.
- Additional Services: Some rental companies offer additional services such as expedited delivery, same-day pickup, waste sorting, recycling, and disposal of hazardous materials. These services may incur extra charges, so be sure to inquire about pricing for any additional services you may require.
- Delivery and Pickup Fees: Delivery and pickup fees are typically included in the total rental cost, but they can vary depending on the distance traveled, accessibility of the delivery location, and any special requirements for placement or pickup of the dumpster.
- Taxes and Fees: Be aware that rental prices may be subject to taxes, environmental fees, fuel surcharges, or other administrative fees. Make sure to inquire about all potential fees and charges upfront to avoid any surprises on your final bill.
- Small to Medium Dumpsters (10-20 cubic yards): Rental prices for smaller to medium-sized dumpsters typically range from $200 to $500 per week or $300 to $600 per month.
- Large Dumpsters (20-40 cubic yards): Rental prices for larger dumpsters can range from $400 to $800 per week or $600 to $1,000 per month, depending on the size and location.
- Extra-Large Dumpsters (40+ cubic yards): Rental prices for extra-large dumpsters may exceed $1,000 per week or $1,500 per month, especially for specialized or high-capacity models.
Keep in mind that these price ranges are estimates and actual rental prices may vary based on the factors mentioned above. It’s advisable to obtain quotes from multiple rental companies and compare pricing, services, and terms to ensure you get the best value for your rental needs.

Moreover, machine learning techniques have been proposed as tools to identify potential biomarkers and, ultimately, to support clinical diagnosis. Tandem coupling reactions are demonstrated via addition reactions of the cryptic amine with epoxy and acrylate systems. The study includes interviews with nine patients and a survey answered by 56 patients.
Because neglect is complex, detection may depend largely on the assessment administered. We generated draft genomes of the 16 isolates and investigated their pan-genome together with the 26 National Center for Biotechnology Information-registered genomes. Furthermore, the intensity of exercise may play a key role in how exercise affects gut microbiota.

In this paper, we investigated the MSSs of biomolecular networks by considering the drug binding information. The present report provides the first detailed presentation of combined hypothyroidism and isolated ACTH deficiency induced by nivolumab. For this purpose, several in-silico software tools have been developed such as PeptideCutter or PoPS, which aim to predict peptide cleavage sites for different proteases.
Four subgroups were defined: large follicles from heterogeneous cycles (LHet) and homogenous cycles (LHom) and small follicles from heterogeneous cycles (SHet) and homogenous cycles (SHom). There was no evidence that one type of natural habitat was more favorable for the bees than another.

Treatments that effectively ameliorate the neurological aspects of the disease are being assessed in clinical trials. These findings provide pathological evidence that ERK/p-ERK is negatively correlated with STAT1 in ESCC. American cockroaches are an important source of household allergens in tropical and semitropical climates. At 48h after modeling, the learning and memory performance of rats was tested by water maze experiment.
A total of 58 presbycusis patients and 220 control subjects were enrolled in the study after examination by the otolaryngologist and audiology tests. An abnormal expression of OPG and RANKL has been described in osteoarthritis osteoblasts, which is responsible for abnormal bone remodeling and decreased mineralization. Postoperative radiotherapy is recommended in patients with advanced high grade carcinoma. The increased levels of pathogenic Th17 lymphocytes and Th22 cells in autoimmune thyroid disorders suggest their involvement in the pathogenesis of this condition.

We believe that a more frequent use of automated video analysis could provide an extended value to cost-efficient laparoscopic BlackBox training. In conclusion, the fertility of high-yielding dairy cows can be further improved.
rulide for strep throat
We report the first case series of hidradenitis suppurativa in patients of Indigenous Australian heritage. The photon is re-emitted at a well-defined time due to an interference effect analogous to multi-slit diffraction. Imaginal disc development in the non-pupariating lethall(1)npr-1, a mutant that maps to an ecdysone early puff site, is studied in situ, in vitro and in transplanted discs. Left ventricular (LV) systolic strain has been shown to be an early marker of LV dysfunction in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) despite preserved ejection fraction (EF).
We have subsequently launched a cluster RCT for caregivers with a relative diagnosed with first-episode psychosis. The accuracy of radioactive particle tracking technique depends on the ability to locate the exact position of a tracer particle.

Botanical fungicides comprise attractive alternatives to chemical fungicides because of their environmental compatibility. In addition, eye gaze was a valid indicator of relationship interest.
Despite the reduction in mortality rates in the period, LRTIs were an important cause of disability and still the third cause of death in Brazil in 2015. Currently, most oral mucosal lesions are treated with creams, mouthwashes, or gels containing suitable drugs. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) arises as a promising tool in this context. (c) Bone loss may be originated due to biomechanical optimization and potential reduction of developmental costs.
cefixime truvada intercation
According to recent research, cardiac surgery could be offered to patients with Child-Pugh A and a low MELD score with only mild increase in the risk of mortality. The univariate analyses indicated that for CT, no region differentiated blind from sighted, and for SA, two regions showed lower values for congenitally blind. By 2007-2014, the peak in mortality shifted back towards summer/early autumn. This has been attributed to the enhanced forward scattering with vanishing backward scattering preserved over a wide spectral range in core-shell nanoparticles.
Many patients with stroke have moderate to severe long-term sensorimotor impairments, often including inability to execute movements of the affected arm or hand. Transition to the outpatient setting is a crucial step in the management of premature infants and a focus on improved hand-off procedures between hospital and physicians may prove beneficial. Taking advantage of the water solubility, biocompatibility, and transfer-ability of FPAs, they might find use as unimolecular carriers for future biomedical applications.

Unfortunately for Obama, he doesn’t qualify for his “Buffett Rule” tax plan — nor does Biden — meaning, he wouldn’t have the benefit of seeing his tax rate jet to the moon. Poor guy. I guess you can’t have both sides of the coin.
Barack and Michelle raked in just under $800,000, so the new tax rate for the purported million-dollar income level wouldn’t apply to them. The Biden family hauled in just under $400,000, so they’re also in the clear.
As far as charitable donations, Obama marked an 8-percent improvement over 2010. But Biden is the one who should really be proud, as he and his wife managed to dole out $5,540 to charity, or about 1.5 percent of their income. It may seem paltry, but believe it or not, it’s improvement:
The Bidens reported giving $995 in charitable donations last year — about 0.3% of their income… The low was $120 in 1999, about 0.1% of yearly income.
Over the decade, the Bidens reported a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, or 0.2% of their income.
However, the ten-year average is the real bombshell: The Bidens contributed to charities an average of $369 per year for the last decade.
I guess that means forced charity (i.e. taxation) is the only true form of philanthropy.

About This Book:
The Mirror: Shattered Midnight is the second novel in the innovative four-book fairy-tale quartet written by Julie C. Dao, Dhonielle Clayton, J.C. Cervantes, and L. L. McKinney, following one family over several generations, and the curse that plagues it.
Zora Broussard has arrived in New Orleans with not much more than a bag of clothes, a beautiful voice, and a pair of enchanted red shoes. Running from a tragic accident caused by her magic, Zora wants nothing more than to blend in, as well as to avoid her overbearing aunt and mean-spirited cousins. Music becomes Zora’s only means of escape, yet she wonders if she should give it all up to remove the powers that make her a target, especially as a Black woman in the South.
But when Zora gets the chance to perform in a prominent jazz club, she meets a sweet white pianist named Phillip with magic of his own, including a strange mirror that foretells their future together. Falling into a forbidden love, Zora and Phillip must keep their relationship a secret. And soon the two discover the complicated connection between their respective families, a connection that could lead to catastrophe for them both. In the era of segregation and speakeasies, Zora must change her destiny and fight for the one she loves . . . or risk losing everything.
*Review Contributed by Olivia Farr, Staff Reviewer*
SHATTERED MIDNIGHT is a sweeping YA historical fantasy, the second installment of a unique series around a magical object where each book follows a different person and is written by a different author. This book takes the reader to 1920s New Orleans, where Zora is on the run for her magical mistake in NYC. She is living with her aunt and cousins under a false name, trying to suppress her magic and lay low. Her mother is doing damage control in New York, using magic to hide Zora.
Zora loves jazz – and her magic revolves around music, making for a powerful combination. While she lives under her aunt’s tough thumb during the day, at night she sneaks to a club where she sings as the Sweet Willow. Trying to understand herself and her magic, she sees the world as it is, segregated and punitive for the color of her skin – Zora is Black. When she falls in love with a white boy, Phillip, it is a dangerous thing and the world will not allow them to forget it. Zora is determined to be true to herself and her heart, if only she can find a path to her destiny.
What I loved: This was a sweeping read that carries the reader back in time to life in the 1920s for someone who is Black, with speakeasies, segregation, danger from police and white people, as well as all the related daily challenges these many obstacles bring. Even going into a shop or buying food presents challenges for her aunt’s relatively wealthy Black family. The historical setting was brought to life through the writing, and these were powerful themes. Other themes around family legacy, power/powerlessness, hatred, music, religion, and expectations for women were also really thought-provoking.
The plotline of the mirror is really intriguing, and the object has a larger role in the later parts of the story. The use of magic and its role as a source of self-protection made it feel like magical realism – it was easy to believe it could exist. Zora was an intriguing character who is trying to define her life for herself and carve out her own destiny – something that seems impossible when the world and your family feels that they know where you should be. The romance was really sweet and built nicely into the overall plot.
What left me wanting more: As a very small thing, the ending was a bit open, and as someone who likes all the answers, I would have liked to step even further into the future to see where things ended up, but maybe we’ll learn about it in the next book. The beginning of the book was very slow-building, but it did really pick up about a third of the way through.
Final verdict: Overall, SHATTERED MIDNIGHT is a thought-provoking YA historical fantasy that I would highly recommend for fans of THE BELLES, LEGENDBORN, and SO MANY BEGINNINGS.

TKO Productions recently just concluded its second block of filming for its debut feature film, the action-packed “Double Cross”.
Focusing on getting in as many of the action scenes as we could, I do believe it was a success.
The first scene we focused on was a fight scene of the two brothers (portrayed by myself and Blake Longshore) getting ambushed in a warehouse and us cleaning house in an epic showdown which turned into 2 separate 1-v-2 fights. Next, we went into a showdown between the two brothers which showed just how even matched they are in terms of skill, but shows the different mindsets of the two.
Last we worked on a very John Wick-esque home invasion fight scene with gunplay as well as fisticuffs.
Overall, this block of filming was very fun and very fulfilling to complete. We had the help of 5 stunt people without whom this movie would be a disaster. This film promises to set a new standard on how indie action movies are made.
Be on the lookout for our first teaser trailer expected to drop in the coming weeks, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this look behind the scenes of the action masterpiece!
“Double Cross” stars Braden D. White, Blake Longshore, Ethic DeJaun, Temre K. Morgan, Amielynn Woodall, and Craig Blacklock
Directed by David H. Feguson
Produced by Braden D. White, Robb Antequera, and Dayna Kay White

An Olympiad (Greek: Ὀλυμπιάς, olympiás) is a period of four years associated with the Olympic Games of the Ancient Greeks. During the Hellenistic period, beginning with Ephorus, it was used as a calendar epoch. By this reckoning, the first Olympiad lasted from the summer of 776 BC to that of 772 BC. By extrapolation to the Gregorian calendar, the 1st year of the 699th Olympiad begins in (Northern-Hemisphere) mid-summer 2017.

A modern Olympiad refers to a four-year period beginning January 1 of a year in which the Summer Olympics are due to occur. The first modern Olympiad began in 1896, the second in 1900, and so on (the 31st began in 2016: see the Olympic Charter).
An Olympiad was a period of four years. Example: Olympiad 140, year 1 = 220/219 BC; year 2 = 219/218 BC; year 3 = 218/217 BC; year 4 = 217/216 BC.
The sophist Hippias was the first writer to publish a list of victors of the Olympic Games, and by the time of Eratosthenes, it was generally agreed that the first Olympic games had happened during the summer of 776 BC. The combination of victor lists and calculations from 776 BC onwards enabled Greek historians to use the Olympiads as a way of reckoning time that did not depend on the time reckonings of one of the city-states. (See Attic calendar.) The first to do so consistently was Timaeus of Tauromenium in the third century BC. Nevertheless, since for events of the early history of the games the reckoning was used in retrospect, some of the dates given by later historian for events before the 5th century BC are very unreliable. In the 2nd century AD, Phlegon of Tralles summarised the events of each Olympiad in a book called Olympiads, and an extract from this has been preserved by the Byzantine writer Photius. Christian chroniclers continued to use this Greek system of dating as a way of synchronising biblical events with Greek and Roman history. In the 3rd century AD, Sextus Julius Africanus compiled a list of Olympic victors up to 217 BC, and this list has been preserved in the Chronicle of Eusebius.
Examples of Ancient Olympiad dates
Start of the Olympiad
An Olympiad started with the games, which were held at the beginning of the Olympic new year, which was on the full moon closest to the summer solstice. (After the introduction of the Metonic cycle about 432 BC, the start of the Olympic year was determined slightly differently).
Though the games were held without interruption, on more than one occasion they were held by others than the Eleians. The Eleians declared such games Anolympiads (non-Olympics), but it is assumed the winners were nevertheless recorded.
End of the era
During the 3rd century AD, records of the games are so scanty that historians are not certain whether after 261 they were still held every four years. During the early years of the Olympiad, any physical benefit deriving from a sport was banned. Some winners were recorded though, until the last Olympiad of 393AD. In 394, Roman Emperor Theodosius I outlawed the games at Olympia as pagan. Though it would have been possible to continue the reckoning by just counting four-year periods, by the middle of the 5th century AD reckoning by Olympiads had become disused.
For the modern Olympics the term was long used to indicate the games themselves, but the IOC now uses it to indicate a period of four years.
Start and end
The modern Olympiad is a period of four consecutive calendar years, beginning on the first of January of the first year and ending on the thirty-first of December of the fourth year. The Olympiads are numbered consecutively from the first Games of the Olympiad celebrated in Athens in 1896. The XXXI Olympiad began on January 1, 2016 and will end on December 31, 2019.
The Summer Olympics are more correctly referred to as the Games of the Olympiad. The first poster to announce the games using this term was the one for the 1932 Summer Olympics, in Los Angeles, using the phrase: Call to the games of the Xth Olympiad
Note, however, that the official numbering of the Winter Olympics does not count Olympiads—- it counts only the Games themselves. For example:
Some media people have from time to time referred to a particular (e.g., the nth) Winter Olympics as "the Games of the nth Winter Olympiad", perhaps believing it to be the correct formal name for the Winter Games by analogy with that of the Summer Games. Indeed, at least one IOC-published article has applied this nomenclature as well. This analogy is sometimes extended further by media references to "Summer Olympiads". However, the IOC does not seem to make an official distinction between Olympiads for the summer and winter games, and such usage particularly for the Winter Olympics is not consistent with the numbering discussed above.
The U.S. Olympic Committee often uses the term quadrennium, which it claims refers to the same four-year period. However, it indicates these quadrennia in calendar years, starting with the first year after the Summer Olympics and ending with the year the next Olympics are held. This would suggest a more precise period of four years, but the 2001–2004 Quadrennium would then not be exactly the same period as the XXVIIth Olympiad.
A Cultural Olympiad is a concept protected by the International Olympic Committee and may be used only within the limits defined by an Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. From one Games to the next, the scale of the Cultural Olympiad varies considerably, sometimes involving activity over the entire Olympiad and other times emphasizing specific periods within it. Baron Pierre de Coubertin established the principle of ‘Olympic Art Competitions’ at a special congress in Paris in 1906, and the first official programme was presented during the 1912 Games in Stockholm. These competitions were also named the ‘Pentathlon of the Muses’, as their purpose was to bring artists to present their work and compete for ‘art’ medals across five categories: architecture, music, literature, sculpture and painting. Nowadays, while there are no competitions as such, cultural and artistic practice is displayed via the Cultural Olympiad.
The 2012 London Olympics included an extensive Cultural Olympiad with the London 2012 Festival. Cultural events occurred across the British Isles. A major event was the World Shakespeare Festival produced by the RSC and including the Globe to Globe Festival.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Cultural Olympiad presented the Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition (or CODE for short). Conforming with the tag-line "Connect.Create.Collaborate.", the festival brought both national and international artists to present digital art, music, and cinema.
The English term is still often used popularly to indicate the games themselves, a usage that is uncommon in ancient Greek (as an Olympiad is most often the time period between and including sets of games). It is also used to indicate international competitions other than physical sports. This includes international science olympiads, such as the International Geography Olympiad, International Mathematical Olympiad and the International Linguistics Olympiad and their associated national qualifying tests (e.g., the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad or the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad), and also events in mind-sports, such as the Science Olympiad, Mindsport Olympiad, Chess Olympiad and Computer Olympiad. In these cases Olympiad is used to indicate a regular event of international competition; it does not necessarily indicate a four-year period.
In some languages, like Czech and Slovak, Olympiad (Czech: olympiáda) is the correct term for the games.
The Olympiad (L'Olimpiade) is also the name of some 60 operas set in Ancient Greece.

Gupteswar is a shrine of Lord Shiva situated about 55 km away Jeypore, Koraput District in the state of Odisha, India. It is a limestone cave discovered some time ago and has a number of scenic spots around.
According to mythology, the lingam was first discovered by Lord Rama when he was roaming in the then Dandakaranya forest with wife Sita and brother Laxman, and later worshipped it calling it "Gupteswar". The poet Kalidas too, described the scenic beauty of Ramgiri forest where the cave temple is referred to in his famous Meghadutam.
However, with the passing of time, the temple was abandoned. Later, in the last part of the 19th century, a hunter of the Ramgiri area found the lingam. Since then the lingam has been worshipped by the tribes of Koraput region.
The main attraction is the gigantic Shiva Linga which is said to be increasing in size. Pilgrims from all over the country come here during the Sravana period, because the yearly BolBom yatra is held at this place. Devotees walk to the Gupteshwar during BolBom yatra to bathe in the maha kund, and then chant near the Shiva Linga. The cave is more or less like the Bora caves ( India - Odisha and Andhra border ). you have got same feelings in other natural places . But this Gupteswar cave is special for the underground water. It is really worth seeing. It is a natural cave with Stalagmites. One has to reach the end to view the superb scene .
After taking bath in the river Sabari, also known as Pataliganga, devotees offered prayers in the cave temple, situated at a height of 1,000 metres.
Surrounded by a dense forest of sal trees and flanked by the Kolab river, a 2m high lingam stands in the cave. The shrine is called "Gupteswar" which means the "Hidden God". It is so named because it was lying hidden in the cave for a very long period. One can reach it by climbing the 476 steps flanked with rows of champak trees. The entrance of the cave is about 3 m wide and 2 m in height. There are also several other caves nearby. Inside the second cave there is a large stalactite. People worship it as the udder of God Kamadhenu (the divine cow) and wait under it with outstretched palms to collect drops of water which fall only at long intervals.
Popularly known as "Gupta Kedar" in the vicinity, this sacred place, endowed with unusual natural beauty, is associated with Shri Rama of the epic Ramayana. The nearby hill has been named "Ramagiri". In Shivaratri (a Hindu festival) Gupteswar Temple draws over 200,000 devotees from Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. People suffering from incurable diseases come here to worship the God and remain here for months in the hope of getting cured.
There are five perennial poles of water called Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Bhargavi and Indradyumna. The entrance of the cave looks like two jaws and the Shiva Linga is located at the meeting point of the jaws.
Similarly, thousands of people offer prayers at Paikpada, which is famous for the 9th century Pataleshwar Shiva temple. It is believed that there are 99,99,999 Shiva Lingas (only one less than one crore) in and around the temple.

Several preclinical and observational studies have shown that anti-diabetic medications (ADMs) can modify the risk of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses of studies evaluating the effect of metformin, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), sulfonylureas, and/or insulin on the risk of HCC. We conducted a systematic search of Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to August 2012. Studies were included if they (1) evaluated and clearly defined exposure to metformin, TZDs, sulfonylureas, and/or insulin, (2) reported HCC outcomes in patients with DM, and (3) reported relative risks or odds ratio (OR) or provided data for their estimation. Summary OR estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using the random-effects model. Ten studies reporting 22,650 cases of HCC in 334,307 patients with type 2 DM were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis of observational studies showed a 50% reduction in HCC incidence with metformin use (n=8 studies; OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.34-0.73), 62% and 161% increase in HCC incidence with sulfonylurea (n=8 studies; OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.16-2.24) or insulin use (n=7; OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.46-4.65), respectively. TZDs did not modify the risk of HCC (n=4; OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.28-1.02). There was considerable heterogeneity across studies, which was partly explained by study setting, location, and whether the studies adjusted for the concomitant use of other ADMs. Post-hoc analysis of randomized controlled trials did not reveal any significant association between ADM use and risk of HCC. ADMs may modify the risk of HCC in patients with DM, especially in the Western population. However, the effect of each individual agent should be interpreted with caution owing to inherent cancer-modifying effect of the comparator group.

Try 6 bizarre dishes in Dallas, Fort Worth
Extraordinary dishes can seem downright bizarre when they involve eating various critters, or parts thereof, that stretch beyond the standard American diet.
An adventurous cowboy spirit, Spanish influences and other factors have combined to broaden the Dallas and Fort Worth area’s palate for these beyond-the-ordinary dishes over the years.
Bull testicles were long a favorite of cattle-driving ranch hands and the Spanish settlers who preceded them. Legend goes that it was a Fort Worth restaurant, Theo’s, that in the 1920s first put “calf fries” – as they were called by stockyard ranch hands – on a restaurant menu. Theo’s offerings of fries and other fare would continue till the mid-1980s.
In 1993, the Riscky’s barbecue family reopened the Stockyards building as Riscky’s Steakhouse, also adopting some of Theo’s menu. Riscky’s proudly proclaims its restaurant, in the former Theo’s location, as the home of “Texas-sized steaks and calf fries.”
Like most Texas restaurants that serve the dish, Riscky’s batters and deep-fries its bovine orbs and tops them with homemade gravy. Aficionados say they taste like chicken with a flavor similar to chicken livers and a texture akin to chicken gizzards.
Riscky’s Steakhouse, 120 E. Exchange Ave., Fort Worth, Texas
Acclaimed Texas chef Tim Love offers this inventive dish as an appetizer at both his Woodshed Smokehouse and Lonesome Dove restaurants in Fort Worth and as part of a paella on the Woodshed dinner menu. Because snake is known as a meat with much elasticity, Love grinds it and combines it with ground, white rabbit meat in a link to give the meat more texture, in addition to a “punchy,” or spicy, flavor.
Woodshed Smokehouse, 3201 Riverfront Drive, Fort Worth, Texas
Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, 2406 N. Main St., Fort Worth, Texas
Not all Mexican restaurants serve this traditional south-of-the-border soup whose chief ingredient is beef tripe – meat that comes from a cow’s stomach. Others serve menudo regularly as a weekend special – in contemporary Mexican culture, it’s considered a cure for hangovers. It is cooked in a red-chili-pepper base, usually with lime, chopped onions and cilantro, and is commonly served with tortillas.
One Dallas spot that pays weekend homage to menudo is Taqueria y Carniceria Guanajuato. Housed in an unassuming building that looks more like an older convenience store, the taqueria in northwest Dallas is filled with the smell of the hearty Mexican stew on Saturday mornings. It also sells tripe by the pound in addition to other animal parts.
Taqueria y Carniceria Guanajuato, 2962 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas
Too much bourbon and Shiner Bock at the saloon last night, eh? Canadians are most likely dig into a plate of poutine, or french fries topped with cheese curds and light brown gravy, when they’ve had too many Molsons. When you’re in Dallas, though, pull yourself in front of a plate of pork-belly poutine at Blind Butcher to dispel any of those next-day blues.
The pork belly in the Butcher’s poutine is housemade, the curds come from the Dallas Mozzarella Company and the pomme des frites at the poutine’s base take their hot, oily bath in the restaurant’s signature fry spice. The dish is then topped with smoky pork gravy. Those not fond of pork can opt for duck or mushroom poutine instead.
Blind Butcher, 1919 Greenville Ave., Dallas
Pig Head Carnitas
Your palate is porcine-heavy, you say? Then you must try CBD Provisions’ Berkshire Pig Head Carnitas menu offering. The carnitas – Spanish for “little meats” – are presented family style within the pig’s head itself, its eyes glaring at you from the serving board. Dig into the head with a fork, however, and you’ll unleash some of the most tender and juicy pork you’ve ever tasted. Served with tortillas, radishes and tomatillo sauce so you can eat the meat like a taco, this was named the city’s dish of the year by the Dallas Observer in 2014. It’s popular enough that there’s limited availability; diners are asked to reserve a head 48 hours in advance.
CBD Provisions, 1530 Main St., Dallas
Granted, there are meatier and juicier parts of a chicken, but chicken feet are still considered a delicacy in many Asian countries. Mostly skin and tendons, they contain no muscle, giving them a texture distinct from that of other parts of the chicken. They also yield a fine, golden broth that gels resplendently when used in soups and stews.
At Rice Chicken, a Korean restaurant in northwest Dallas, the feet are coated, like all of the eatery’s chicken offerings, with rice flour before being tossed in a spicy sauce. Coating chicken with rice flour rather than American-style flour results in a firmer outer wall that keeps the meat juicier and less greasy. Diners at Rice Chicken also can opt for spicy chicken, which is coated with rice flour and tossed in a spicy, homemade sauce, like the feet. Note that chicken feet are a high-maintenance eat like crab legs or freshly caught fish; diners must carefully pick the feet apart and look out for bones.

Missing a spring gobbler seems impossible. Just look at any turkey magazine and there’s that big tom, standing or strutting in the wide open… perfectly still…a shot that’s as easy as convenience store pie. WRONG! Hunters rarely fess-up, yet missing happens all the time. Last spring I missed one twice at 10 yards and when I finally realized the problem didn’t have a third shell in the chamber. Oh, the agony.
Why Hunters Miss?
Excitement, pure streaming adrenalin, is the reason most turkeys receive a get-off-the-table-free card because calling a wary tom into point blank range is heart-pounding excitement, pure and simple. However, there are gear changes you can make that will help tame your nerves or at least help you shoot competently at times of high excitement.
If you are an instinctive shooter, that is a person who doesn’t sight down the barrel, you may want to remove the front bead from your shotgun or use a black marker to dull the shine so that it won’t distract you. What??? Not sight down the barrel? Who does that? Actually, instinctive shooters, as with a bow, train their body to shoot where they look which takes practice. For the rest of us, self included, here are three ways to miss-proof your gun.
First, consider using a low magnification or red dot scope.
My Mossberg THUG combo shotgun has a slug barrel for deer and a turkey barrel for spring. Mounted on it is a Nikon ProStaff 2-7 variable power scope, an optic that works as well for deer at turkeys. Last year I had to call a flock of turkeys and one feisty gobbler lagged at the rear constantly staying within the protection of its hen harem. After calling to the bird for half an hour, I finally brought the whole gang to 20 yards and thanks to the 2X magnification and pinpoint accuracy of the reticule was able to take the big tom cleanly with no harm to the ladies.
If you are a deer hunter, you have experience at putting those cross hairs exactly where you aim, an action that dramatically helps you shoot better in times of great excitement. A red-dot scope will do the same, giving you a precise aiming point. If your shotgun won’t mount a scope consider an enhanced front sight like the one offered by Limbsaver, which makes that front bead easier to locate.
Find the load that patterns best in your shotgun
Even if your aim is perfect, you can still miss a turkey if your shotgun does not pattern evenly and a tom’s head may be lucky enough to correspond with a hole in your pattern. The trick here is to test pattern your shotgun scientifically from a bench, with a gun rest and a target at 40 yards. The most economical way to do this is with buddies where each person brings a different load, just save the celebratory beverages until all guns are back in their cases.
Test at 10 and 40 yards
Today’s tightly chokes turkey guns throw a baseball size pattern at close range which makes your shotgun shoot like a rifle. Turkey heads bob, weave, and duck so take a practice shot at 10 yards to be sure your sight is dead on. Learn to make a distinct “puck” with a diaphragm caller so that when a gobbler approaches, ideally to 30 yards, you can make it stick its head up for the perfect shot. Works every time.

Birds Eye undertaking the biggest ever revamp of its key ranges.
As a leading brand in Frozen Poultry and Chicken Grills1, the brand is placed to drive frequency across the sector.
Following consumer research by Birds Eye on flavours that appeal to the tastes of all of the family, the mass re-launch will kick off with the introduction of twelve new and improved flavours to the Chicken Grills and Chargrills portfolios.
All products will be given refreshed, bright packaging which will depict the food and ingredients inside.
All Grills will carry a “Sourced & Prepared With Care Guarantee” on-pack to highlight Birds Eye sourcing its chicken from selected farms and only including what it considers to be the finest ingredients.
Julie Johns, Senior Brand Manager, Birds Eye said:
“This is an exciting development for Birds Eye and a real chance for retailers to offer consumers the very best taste, variety and value within Frozen.
“After looking at the overall Poultry category, we identified there was a need for a wider range of flavours aimed at the whole family, not just for kids or adults specifically.
“Our entire range now caters for everyone, from those who like light and mild flavours to those who prefer something a bit spicier.
“The new range not only includes more fantastic flavours, but also better quality ingredients for superior taste and improved packaging.
“With a dedicated TV campaign and point of sale programme to support the re-launch we’re confident consumer awareness will be high, leading to increased sales and a boost for the Frozen category.”
The launch will be supported by a £1million TV campaign, on air from November, as well as eye-catching PoS in-store to drive consumers to the increased and improved range.

Have you seen Dr. John Neily?
April 24th, 2017Great experience!!
June 26th, 2014patient
February 25th, 2014
Dr. Neily performs a very cursory annual exam. I had to point out obvious places where skin cancer is very common. I also do not like having a P.A. prescribing and performing treatment. I no longer am a patient mostly because of the lack of time spent on my annual exam.
If a patient wants a total body skin exam, they need to state that when making their appointment. Otherwise, the Physician or Physician's Assistant will take care of the areas of concern only. January through April is the busiest time of year, consider coming during the off season months where our providers can spend more time with you.SHOW
October 9th, 2013Great doctor,rude staff
This was my first visit with Dr. Neily. I was very pleased with the doctor, but almost each office support staff member I came in contact with were terribly rude. When I checked out after my visit, the lady rudely asked me why I needed to return in several weeks. Then when I asked about the cost of the visit, I was never acknowledged. Why are these people in healthcare? Overall, the doctor is great, but get new staff as they are simply rude and inconsiderate.
September 3rd, 2013skin cancer
Everyone I came in contact with were professional and made me feel at ease immediately. Dr. Neily made me very comfortable right away and I was extremely confident of his talents . Unfortunately for me, I have had a basal cell removed from my nose and just today 2 squamous cells removed from my scalp. I would highly recommend him.
May 24th, 2011caring and knowledgable
I went to Dr. neily for a long standing skin condition after seeing two other physicians in the area. His caring staff made me feel very comfortable and the doctor was prompt and knowledgeable. He spent extra time with me and explained my condition and treatment options in terms I could relate to. I would definitely recommend him to others seeking a compationate doctor
May 31st, 2010
I went through several (7) appointments for a skin condition I have and in all of those appointments I never once got beyond the PA in the office. While she was very sweet and caring I am left with no diagnosis and never even saw Dr Neily. I am currently looking for a new Dr.

US: Guess to change fiscal calendar
Continuing to adapt its business to its strengths as a retailer, Guess?? Inc said Tuesday that it will move the end of its fiscal year to the end of January from the end of December.
This puts Los Angeles, California-based Guess? In the same league as the overwhelming majority of publicly held US retailers and allows it to conform to the National Retail Federation fiscal calendar.
In fiscal 2005, US$612.9m of the company's $936.1m in revenues, or 65.5%, were derived from its retail operations.
Guess will treat the current month, ending on 3 February, as a transitional period and begin its 2008 fiscal year on 4 February. Results for January will be included in those for the first quarter beginning on 4 February and ending 5 May.
Fiscal 2008 will end 2 February 2008 and subsequent fiscal years will end on the Saturday nearest 31 January each year, Guess said.

Like many Microsoft fans, you’re probably looking forward to the release of the Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 5. But when exactly can you get your hands on these devices?
Well, if you’re looking forward to the Surface Book 2, it’s clear that you won’t be able to buy it anytime soon. This comes from the fact that Microsoft is not launching a Surface Book 2 this year; rather, it’s releasing a refined version of the original model and calling it Surface Book with Performance Base — or simply Surface Book 2016. Microsoft is already taking orders for it and will start shipping by mid-November.
The new Surface Book has a 13.5-inch PixelSense display (with a 3000-by-2000 resolution and 267 pixels per inch), and it comes with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6600U CPU and 16GB DDR3 SDRAM. What makes it different from last year’s model is the 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 965 graphics card, which allows the device to smoothly handle basic games and graphics-intensive tasks and makes it ideal for power users. It also has a better battery life; Microsoft says that it can last through 16 hours of video playback, although reviewers show that this depends on the device’s brightness and other settings.
So, if the Surface Book 2 won’t be released this year, when will we see it? Well, no one is really sure since Microsoft hasn’t made an official statement, but there are rumors that it will be released on the second quarter of 2017. Tech experts surmise that the second-gen Surface Book will have an Intel Kaby Lake processor and an Nvidia GTX 10 series GPU.
What about Surface Pro 5?
Sadly, it seems that Microsoft doesn’t have plans to release the Surface Pro 5 this year. So, if you were expecting to get it for Christmas, or if you were planning to buy it as a gift for someone, you’ll want to look into other makes and models.
However, there are reports that the fifth Surface Pro tablet will be released in spring 2017 — together with the Surface Book 2 and the much-awaited but still unconfirmed Surface Pro. It will also reportedly coincide with the release of Windows 10’s second major update.
Just like with the Surface Book 2, Microsoft has not announced the features that might be included in the Surface Pro 5, but tech experts are expecting it to have Intel’s Kaby Lake processor, an Nvidia Pascal GPU, and 16GB of RAM. Microsoft-filed patents also show that the company is designing a Surface Pen with a rechargeable battery and a pen loop that attaches the stylus to the tablet through USB. If Microsoft has indeed developed these innovations, we might be able to see them in the fifth-generation Surface Pro.
Surface Pro tablets rarely fluctuate in price, so it’s safe to assume that the Surface Pro 5 will have a similar price tag with its fourth-gen cousin. If this holds true, it might have a base price of $899, with more advanced configurations obviously costing more.

THE Craig Whyte fraud trial did not go ahead due to a sick juror.
Ex-Rangers owner Sir David Murray had been due to return to the witness box at the High Court in Glasgow.
But, Lady Stacey adjourned the case until tomorrow without any evidence being heard.
Whyte faces two charges in connection with his 2011 takeover of Rangers.
He denies a fraud allegation and a second accusation under the Companies Act.
We told you yesterday how former owner David Murray told the trial he would “categorically” not have sold Rangers to Craig Whyte if he’d know he deal was funded by future season ticket sales.
MOST READ IN NEWS
He said Whyte paid £1 for his 85 per cent shareholding in Rangers but also committed to around £47.5m spending – including clearing the club’s £18m debt to the bank.
And Murray told the court that EBTs gave Rangers the chance to sign players they otherwise couldn’t afford.
The trial continues.

Whether we encounter Victor Hugo's epic on the page, onstage, or on-screen, Les Misérables continues to captivate while also, perhaps unexpectedly, speaking to contemporary concerns. Here David Bellos tells us why, offering an enchanting biography of a classic, written for "Les Mis" fanatics and novices alike. Bellos—the winner of a Man Booker International Prize for translation—brings to life the extraordinary story of how Hugo managed to write his novel of the downtrodden despite a revolution, a coup d'état, and his own political exile, as well as how he pulled off a groundbreaking deal to get it published, and how his approach to the "social question" would define his era's moral imagination.

We’re just two months away from the arrival of my debut picture book Wild One (November 1st in Canada – sorry, America, you’ll just have to wait until March 2018!), and I can hardly believe it. Wild One has been almost two years in the making, and I can’t believe I’ll be able to hold her in my hands in just two months! To be honest it all still feels a bit like a dream, and not quite real.
Just can’t wait until November (or March)? Well you’re in luck, because my publisher has given me permission to share a sneaky little peak at the inside of my book!
I shared my deep and abiding love for rhyme and repetition in last week’s Poetry Friday post, so it should come as no surprise that Wild One heavily features both rhyme and repetition. As a children’s librarian it was very important to me that my story help support the development of strong early literacy skills in young readers, so of course I had to fit in as many tricks of the trade as possible!
The phrase Wild One is repeated throughout the rhyming text, which introduces plenty of action words and animal vocabulary in a colourful package that also encourages audience participation. In other words, it’s written by a storytimer for storytimers. 🙂
Without further ado, let’s meet my dear little Wild One!
Isn’t she adorable? She’s just bursting with energy and enthusiasm, just like the little ones at my programs who inspire me every day.
I hope you’re as excited to meet Wild One as I am to share her with you this November (or March)! And a big thank you to all my Poetry Friday friends for helping me hone and develop my craft as a poet and picture book writer, and for always inspiring me with your creativity and insight.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

The documentary recounts the unbelievable story of Truman Capote, the writer who rose from poverty to high society, quickly becoming the wonderboy of American literature. Who was this short, bespectacled man with the high-pitched voice who amazed the world with classic books like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” or “In Cold Blood”? And why did he fall from grace after being the darling elect of the rich and the famous for so many years? The film assembles companions, connoisseurs, and admirers to talk about Capote’s legacy. Combined with a careful selection of archival footage and graphic-novel stills, their accounts draw a vivid picture of the real man behind the glitzy façade of an internationally renowned author and literary pioneer.

So much this. For a lot of people how well the DLC feels boils down a lot to "is this a character i like" and with MK's cast you can go back and forth all day on that (as ninja/borg/mileena mains will likely continue to do), but to me there's no denying that even for the characters I like in this pack, they don't feel right.It doesn't matter who they add as DLC if the gameplay is boring.
Shang Tsung is a 10/10 for me character-wise. He's absolute iconic and getting Cary Tagawa to portray him bumps that to 11/10. Gameplay-wise....he's boring as hell, like the entire cast.
Shao Kahn is my all-time favorite boss character. It's hard to even consider him as DLC, though, considering he was just content ready from day 1 that was marketed as the pre-order bonus. We won't even get into how weak he is.
Sindel, Nightwolf, Fujin, Sheeva are all absolutely welcome additions, but I fear Sheeva and Fujin will be boring....like the rest of the roster.
Spawn and Terminator would have been sick in MKX. In MK11 I have fun with a character for about 15 mins in practice and then just turn the game off. This has been the cycle for me since Shang Tsung was released.
I don't give two shits about new characters, stages or finishers. They're all nice additions, but I want a massive overhaul to the gameplay. I'm sure there are many that agree they won't be paying another $40 to play the same boring game.
Someone posted the MKX list and I didn't love a ton of those, but they all felt like distinct characters. MK11 still has a huge issue with everything blurring together.
