El-P's entry into Thirsty Ear's Matthew Shipp-curated Blue Series is a compelling experiment in genre and sound collision. El-P doesn't rap on this set, nor does he saturate his mix with a truckload of effects. His compositions are skeletal frames on which to hang his mixological architecture of ambitious beats and skeletal samples, creating a tightly controlled dynamic inside which ambitious music is created. His collaborators are pianist Shipp, bassist William Parker, drummer Guillermo E. Brown, and a horn section comprised of Daniel Carter on reeds and flute, Steve Swell on trombone, and trumpet prodigy Roy Campbell. While many titles in the Blue Series catalog seem to be varied in terms of texture and dynamic, High Water is not. This feels like a conscious decision on the part of El-P. The palette is restricted atmospherically; his compositions are almost song-oriented -- at least in the beginning. The funky breaks on "Get Your Hand Off My Shoulder, Pig" offer a glance into the depths of his aesthetic: the grooves are midtempo with Shipp delving into his blues and soul book for vamps and a solo, Parker laying underneath and propelling the cadence and the horns floating over the top of those massive beats. Shipp is the first to meander, decentering the melody, pulling it apart phrase by phrase and then turning it inside out. All the while the horns shift harmonics while keeping the timbre and tension in clear view. On "Get Modal," the pop tune "Where Is the Love" becomes the jump-off place for investigation. Parker kicks its phrasing first before Shipp chimes in and confirms it. The skittering beats make the track feel like it is coming off a Tilt-a-Whirl, and a forgotten soul vocal is tossed into the background to rattle around just behind the horns. Meanwhile, Brown's counterpoint polyrhythms accent El-P's foreground sampling -- including a looped guitar riff from the ether -- and all of it is capped with brief yet tough solo from Campbell.
The crackling strangeness in "Intrigue in the House of India" is indicative of the album's moodiness and rhythmic parlance. Shipp's carnival-inspired Afro-Cuban son riff opens out onto a carousel of sonic layering -- Carter's flute solo is the only thing that feels as if it were recorded on Planet Earth and Brown's weaving in and out of the synthetic rhythms keeps everything shimmering, skipping along into a void where entropy and suffocation would be the only choices were it not for Campbell once again cutting through the detritus and creating a melodic center. At about three minutes and 15 seconds into the track, the cut breaks open with big beats, Parker's cutting drone bass, and ambient sonics paring their way into the heart of the rhythmic soundscape. The theme that threads through the album is a complete reconsideration and rewiring of Charles Aznavour's "Yesterday When I Was Young." It is quoted at the beginning as the players get ready, in a faltering, stuttering, tentative attempt to encounter the subtleties at work in the tune's harmonic palette -- like the mood of the disc, it too is consciously restricted. When they get to its full articulation on "When the Moon Was Blue" with Harry Keys singing, the beats seem to separate from his voice, which invokes not only the ghost of Aznavour and his theatrical phrasing but also Louis Armstrong's with his underappreciated sense of melancholy. As horns offer droning bell-like lines across the entire top of the tune, El-P's beats pop under the vocal and Shipp and Parker wander the rounded edges of the melody's margin, a step away from complete implosion. Brown jumps through hoops and keeps the entire band -- mostly -- inside not only the time, but the tight lyrical consideration that makes up the body of the tune. In sum, it's a moody and haunting record with a few highs, a few lows, and lots of shades of blue to make your way through. Recommended.

Here’s a new law that came into effect in April 2006. “The Ontario Highway Traffic Act requires motorists when approaching a police, fire or ambulance vehicle stopped with red lights flashing in the direction of travel, either in a lane or on the shoulder of the road, to slow down and pass with caution. If the road has two or more lanes, the motorist must move over into another lane, if it can be done safely”. The penalty:
First offence $400 to $2,000 plus 3 demerit points upon conviction.
Second offence $1,000 to $4,000 (within 5 years), possible jail time up to six months and possible suspension of driver’s license for up to two years.

Bian Bian was shocked, how could there be an aunt calling her.
She subconsciously ran to the window to see who was calling her and why she knew her name.
Then, she can’t run further.
The little girl tried to move, there was obviously nothing in front of her, but she seemed to encounter a transparent wall and she couldn’t walk through it.
The little girl was very puzzled, she leaned her little head forward.
Immediately after, she seemed to understand something, she instantly become happy. She probingly whispered, “Uncle, is that you?”
Nong Jiusi, who used his body to block the little girl, did not respond to her. He was carefully reading the instructions given by the system.
Bian Bian is too small to hold the basic laser gun, even if he buys it, she can’t use it. Putting the weapons aside, in reality—all the people who came are ability users, and the leader is a B-class.
Even if he insists, will she be able to fight a group of ability users with just a weapon?
System prompt: 【Zhu Yuan left early yesterday after being infected with the virus. Now he has transformed into a Level 3 zombie, would you like to summon him nearby?】
【Attention! Zhu Yuan has now become an uncontrollable senior zombie.】
Faced with this option, Nong Jiusi who was blocking the little girl from running to the window, did not hesitate and immediately chose to summon.
“Bian Bian, I am the sister you met in the supermarket the other day. Sister and uncle came to pick you up to the base…” The female voice sounded again, “Where are you? Come out, we will take you back to the base. There are many kids there like you.”
Bian Bian heard the words clearly, reminding her of the uncle and aunt she met in the supermarket a few days ago.
She remembered that the uncle wanted to take her away, but the aunt was unwilling and thought she was a burden. She heard that tone many times. It was easy to recognize it.
They didn’t want to take her at that time, why would they be willing to come back and take her away after only a few days.
Bian Bian turned her little head, seriously thinking about the strange behavior of the unfamiliar aunt and uncle.
Outside the community gate downstairs, the reinforced metal wall was too conspicuous. However, it can’t be opened.
The inside is locked… Chen Jiahe is not sure if the little girl lives in this compound, but there are no zombies nearby, and it is locked tightly. It’s just too strict and suspicious.
Therefore, she told Feng Leijie that Bian Bian might be living in this compound, but before they rushed in, she used a simple way to test if the little girl is really inside. What does a child know? She will definitely show up.
If she don’t come out, it won’t be too late to break in though.
Feng Leijie let her play, and did not forget to ask his subordinates to look around for the little girl.
Based on his understanding of Chen Jiahe, this woman should have not lied to him, as long as the little girl is here, they will be able to find her.
As for Chen Jiahe, it’s also a pleasure watching a clown panicking and performing a show in front of him.
Feng Leijie, who was sitting in the car, looked at Chen Jiahe as if looking at a dead person.
Satisfying him so desperately, praying to escape from his hands. In the end, the bamboo basket was thrown into the waterTN: It’s like throwing away stuff when you no longer needed them.… Just thinking about it makes Feng Leijie’s body tremble with excitement. His eyes become darker and more sinister.
Chen Jiahe put down the speaker and waited for a response.
However, half a minute past but there was still no response. A subordinate suddenly ran over from the other side: “Brother Jie, we discovered something!”
The younger brother is just a low-level ability user, his face turned pale as he said, “It was a third-level zombie that burst into two parts. It should have been killed yesterday.”
Feng Leijie’s trembling and excited face slowly paused, his eyes rolled down, and he stared at his little brother.
Chen Jiahe heard those words too, and her face instantly turned pale.
A third-level zombie is equivalent to a B-class ability user. Moreover, an ability user should be at least a B-class in order to kill a third-level zombie. Chen Jiahe claimed that this is almost a dead city, not to mention live zombies; they can’t even see dead zombies.
Feng Leijie got out of the car.
Chen Jiahe’s back was instantly soak with sweat.
“Brother Jie, when I and Zhao Jue passed here, we really didn’t encounter a zombie, let alone a zombie’s coercion… Otherwise, how can we leave here safely?”
Faced with Feng Leijie’s murderous look, Chen Jiahe took advantage of herself being a woman and kept her posture to the lowest level. Her mind thinking rapidly.
A third-level zombie died, indicating that at least a B-class ability user killed it. If the little girl had been living nearby, there would be two possibilities. The zombie ate her, or a high-level expert took her away.
The food in Jinxin Supermarket was almost gone, indicating that the person with the ability to kill the zombie has already left. As for the little girl, she is either dead or taken away by the ability user. No matter what the situation is, their possibility of finding the little girl is very slim.
Of course, there’s also a third possibility— that girl not only wasn’t killed by the zombie, but also didn’t leave with the ability user who killed the zombie.
After analyzing the situation, Chen Jiahe felt that if she did not find a way to escape now, she would never be able to leave.
However, she didn’t have a chance to escape.
His subordinate dragged the corpse of the ant zombie beast and told that apart from this corpse, there was nothing else that seemed suspicious.
Feng Leijie chuckled twice. He first glanced at the corpse of the zombie on the ground, and confirmed that it was indeed a third-level zombie. Then, he turned his gaze to the pale-faced Chen Jiahe, who was also trembling, and actually smiled at her.
Chen Jiahe’s scalp went numb.
“You already know that there is a third-level zombie here. The food and the little girl are just your excuses. In fact, what you want to do is to kill with a borrowed knife.” He approached Chen Jiahe step by step, as the grin on his face grew bigger, “What a clever and bold idea”
“It’s too cheap just to grill you, I decided…”
Before he finish his words, a zombie’s roar suddenly sounded from the top of the compound. In addition, they felt a powerful coercion coming from a high-level zombie, sweeping like a gust of wind.
In this terrifying coercion, Chen Jiahe, who only awakened a D-class ability, seemed to have a mountain pressing on her back. With her legs bent, she knelt on the ground, holding her painful head full of sweat.
Feng Leijie’s low-level subordinates reacted similarly to Chen Jiahe.
Feng Leijie’s face became very ugly, his pupils shrunk. He looked up, staring at the area above the third floor. The roar and coercion came out from there.
In an ordinary community, first, a level 3 zombie was killed, and now there is a level 4 zombie that hides inside the compound.
The third and fourth level zombies correspond to B-class ability. While at the same level, an ability user and a zombie have different strengths. Fourth-level zombies are equivalent to the pinnacle of B-class ability users.
Feng Leijie has not reached the peak yet—that is to say, if he rashly confronts a fourth-level zombie, even if they had an advantage in number… he does not dare to take the risk.
“Jie, brother Jie, should we… go… go over?” one of his subordinate asked with a trembling voice.
Suddenly, there is a loud noise behind them. It turns out that an earth-type ability user found a zombie approaching from a distance. He was running towards them at an unusual speed. He subconsciously activated his ability and converge a large block of soil and threw it at the zombie. .
“No, it’s a third-level zombie!”
The zombie was tall and had an extraordinary aura. As he ran, the wind swept up on the ground and gradually formed a small tornado, sucking all the objects on both sides of the street.
At the same time, the threatening roars of a zombie continued from upstairs.
“God, two high-level zombies!!!” They couldn’t hide their panic and terror anymore.
Where would they have the guts to stay here—if it’s just one high-level zombie, Feng Leijie even began to contemplate whether to fight. He was finally able to meet a fourth-level zombie, if he could kill the zombie and get the crystal stone…
But now there is another third-level zombie, and the two sides is about to face each other. There is clearly no chance of winning.
Feng Leijie’s subordinates did their best to deal with the newly arrived zombie who was roaring endlessly. Chen Jiahe decided to take a gamble in an instant; otherwise, she would never be able to escape Feng Leijie, as he would never let her go.
Therefore, Chen Jiahe gritted her teeth, hurriedly threw away the speaker in her hand, and prepared to use her ability to open the lock in the metal wall—she wanted to hide inside the compound. There is a level four zombie inside, and there is a level three outside. She believed in the so-called, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
However, how could Feng Leijie let the woman who tricked him do what she wanted? Therefore, when he got into the car, he also took Chen Jiahe back.
The zombie is getting closer, and the tornado behind him swept toward the vehicle in a devastating manner
Bian Bian stretched out her little hand and touched the “thing” blocking her in front; the various noises from outside the window attracted the little girl’s curiosity. She couldn’t help but quietly move from the side to go to the window.
With a single step of his long legs, Lord Jiusi once again blocked the path of the little girl.
Bian Bian: “…”

Kinza impressive in the Las Virgenes (Ernie Belmonte/Past The Wire)
BAFFERT’S KINZA IN COMMAND THROUGHOUT & TAKES GRADE III, $100,000 LAS VIRGENES STAKES BY TWO LENGTHS WHILE GETTING MILE IN 1:37.03
RACE SERVES AS PREP TO BOTH THE SANTA ANITA & KENTUCKY OAKS
Mike Willman/Santa Anita Press Box
ARCADIA, Calif.— Hammered late to even money favoritism, Bob Baffert’s Kinza, although pressed throughout, would not be denied as she posted an impressive gate-to-wire victory in Saturday’s Grade III, $100,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita, winning by two lengths with Juan Hernandez up while getting one mile in 1:37.03.
In only her second start, Kinza darted to the early lead with Grade III winner Kopion in close attendance around the first turn and up the backside. Although Kopion loomed ominously, getting to the hip of the winner around the far turn, Kopion could never get on terms as Kinza maintained a two length advantage late en route to a solid win.
A 7 ½ length first-out maiden winner going six furlongs here on Dec. 29, Kinza was the clear choice in a field of five sophomore fillies and paid $4.00, $2.20 and $2.10.
A $350,000 2-year-old in training sale purchase last May, Kinza, who is owned by Michael Lund Petersen, is by Carpe Diem out of the Quality Road mare Secret Wonder. With the winner’s share of $60,000, she increased her earnings to $99,000.
The Las Virgenes, a traditional prep to the Grade II Santa Anita Oaks April 6, is also a points qualifier to the Grade I Kentucky Oaks May 3.
Ridden by Flavien Prat, Kopion, who was stretching out for the first time as well off an impressive 5 ¾ length score in the Grade III Santa Ynez on Jan. 7, kept to her task in game fashion and finished 1 ½ lengths in front of She’s a Tempest. Off at 6-5, Kopion paid $2.60 and $2.10.
Off at 16-1 with Tiago Pereira up, She’s a Tempest sat third the entire trip and paid $3.00 to show while finishing some 9 ¼ lengths in front of Nothing Like You.
Fractions on the race were 22.99, 46.91, 1:10.82 and 1:23.35.
JUAN HERNANDEZ, KINZA, WINNER: “This filly she has a lot of talent. She broke on top. Last time she showed a lot of speed. Today, it was a faster pace but she handled it pretty good. I felt like I was putting in a really good pace. My feeling was that she was really comfortable in front. I never asked her to go that fast she was doing it all on her own. I think that was the key to win the race, that she was comfortable the whole race. When I asked her at the quarter pole, she picked it up, so I think she is a really nice filly.”
JIMMY BARNES, ASSISTANT TO BOB BAFFERT, KINZA, WINNER: “She acts like a filly that can handle (two turns). You don’t know until you do it, but she had shown in the morning, in her workouts that she could go further. I was more concerned there was so much speed, with the small field and a lot of speed. Unfortunately, our other filly (Nothing Like You) she’s got speed, but she was on the rail and she doesn’t have that kind of speed, so she had to kind of take back and make some kind of trip and she probably doesn’t want to do that.”

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a growing health problem in industrialized countries and is sometimes even referred to as an epidemic. As the incidence of CHF is age dependent its prevalence will only increase with the increasing average population age. In the Netherlands only already 200,000 people are suffering from CHF and each year 50,000 new patients are being diagnosed. Mortality rate is high and patients experience many adverse effects both from the disease and the treatment. Many studies, therefore, are undertaken to evaluate and improve disease management of CHF.
Distinct CHF subforms
Patients with heart failure can roughly be divided into two groups: those with ventricular dysfunction due to ischaemia and those with a non-ischaemic heart disease. Most of the different forms of cardiomyopathy in the last group can have a distinct cause like hypertension or a valvular heart disease. However in an important subset of these no such cause is identified thereby obtaining the classification "idiopathic" cardiomyopathy. The familial character of these different forms of idiopathic cardiomyopathy has been recognized in many studies.
Four categories of disease are distinghuised and the basis of haemodynamical and morphological characteristics: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
HCM is characterised by (usually asymmetric) left ventricular hypertrophy. In myocardial biopsies, myofibrillar disarray and myocyte hypertrophy is seen. Arrhythmias and premature sudden death are common. It is the most frequent with 1 in 500 people being affected and familial disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance predominates. So far more than 10 genes have been identified, most of them encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins.
DCM is characterized by dilatation and impaired systolic function of one or both ventricles. In more than 50% of patients no cause is identified and of this idiopathic subgroup more than 30% is familial with a prevailing dominant mode of inheritance as well. The (autosomal) genes identified so far partly overlap those identified in HCM (table) however also mutations in genes involved in the nuclear envelope and cytoskeleton/intermediate filaments and intracellular calcium homeostasis were identified.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterised by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. The clinical presentation shows arrhythmias of right ventricular origin. ARVC presents in at least 30% of patients as a familial disorder. Genetic defects only have been identified in a few patients. The genes involved either play a role in electromechanical coupling by release of calcium from the sarcoplasmatic reticulum into the cytosol (ryanodine receptor gene) or integrity of cell-junction (plakoglobin/desmoplakin).
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is characterized by impaired ventricular filling and reduced diastolic volume in the presence of normal systolic function and (near-) normal myocardial thickness. Several disorders are known to cause RCM, but many cases remain idiopathic. Very recently mutations in the cardiac Troponin I gene were identified.
Our research projects all aim at finding genes/loci explaining chronic heart failure. Finding the genetic components contributing to CHF will give more insight in the development of the disease, which might eventually might lead to better management in CHF patients and even prevention of CHF in mutation carriers.
Our research is embedded in a strong collaboration set up between the Department of Medical Genetics and the Department of Cardiology. The research projects are embedded in the CardioVascular Centre Groningen, (CVC-1) subtheme heart failure.

If you go to the doctor complaining of wrist pain, your doctor will examine your wrist and ask you questions about your medical history and any recent injuries or trauma to your arm. Following that, it's very likely you will go for an x-ray. If your doctor isn't sure, you may be referred for a more specialized test called a magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI), which allows the doctor to see the joint and the tissues more clearly. Some doctors also use computed tomography scanning (CT scans).

Toolbox Installation Assemblies
Acton Town Station Toolbox
- CLIENT : London Underground Limited
- CONTRACTORS : Lineworx
London Underground has been working with Lineworx to update the trackside assets on the network near crossings. It has been identified that the works that are undertaken at crossings generally occur in possession time due to the nature of the work and proximity to the live track. (Possesion Time is when the rail line is closed for works to take place. This is usually timed to around four hours and has to include closing the track, paperwork, and setting up so the actually time spent “working” is less than this). Due to working in possessions there is always the philosophy to see if time can be reduced in the necessary operations that occur in the maintenance of level crossing.
The feedback has been that to increase output tools and parts should be readily available at the jobsite. A large part of the time in crossing refurbishment workers have to manually carry anything up to 50Kg’s of product, equipment and tools to the working area prior to getting the works started. Lineworx were engaged by London Underground to trial a suitable solution to this situation where the parts could be readily available on location for the refurbishment to begin at the prescribed time.
The consensus was to have a toolbox local to the crossing which would be stocked with essential tools such as spanners, sockets and service/spare point products which would be used in level crossing refurbishment.
Lineworx engaged Anchor Systems (International) Ltd to incorporate the rapid Anchor Post foundation technology with specialist fabricated toolboxes. A trial was undertaken where the toolbox system was constructed within a swift timescale due to portable plant that was handled on site and the nature of the Anchor Post solution not requiring wet trades during installation.
Sixteen Toolbox care kits were constructed at various locations around Acton station to reduce the overall time on site and reduce risks to operatives during this period. Further crossings are now being scheduled to have these trackside care kits installed to achieve the benefits gained at Acton Station.

The general was discovered in the ground next to his chariot, clad in a double-layered gown with armor on the chest and feathers on his head. His left palm spread out in front of his waist, possibly to steady the handle of a sword that had since been broken off.
Whether the statue, unearthed in 1974 in the Chinese city of Xi'an, was modeled after a specific person or just a generic type is up to guessing. He was found along with more than 8,000 other life-size terra cotta figures when a farmer, drilling a well, inadvertently hit upon a treasure trove near the tomb of the first emperor of China.
Whatever his true identity, he's the new center of attention – in replica form, anyway – on the main floor of the Huntington Beach Central Library.
The city's Chamber of Commerce, which went on a series of trips to China over the last decade, received a replica of the statue as a gift early this year from Citslinc International, a Monterey Park-based agency that sponsors tourism between the United States and China. The chamber gifted it in turn to the library, and after several months of installation, the Terra Cotta Warrior, as he's known, went on display in July.

For those of you keeping track, this is my second review for the JGR website. My first was Darkwing Duck and it brought back so many fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons that I opted to continue along these lines and tackle another game in Disney’s duck-related NES canon, DuckTales.
Once again, I’ll recap for those who were playing with their Commodore 64s when they should have been watching television: The premise of Duck Tales was that classic Disney character Donald Duck takes his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie over to the mansion of his rich uncle Scrooge McDuck. Basically, Donald tells Scrooge that he’s leaving for a while and the boys have got to stay with him. Scrooge, cantankerous coot that he is, resists, but eventually grows to love the boys as his own. So he allows them to live in the mansion along with his butler Duckworth, his pilot Launchpad, his housekeeper Mrs. Beakley, her daughter Webby, and an occasional cameo by Gyro the inventor, or Fenton Crackshell AKA the mighty Gizmoduck. Yup, except for the housekeeper’s name, that was ENTIRELY out of memory. I lead a sad life.
At any rate, upon loading up the game you’re treated to a snazzy version of the DuckTales theme complete with the bridge! (Da-da-da-danger lurks behind you! There’s a stranger out to find you!) If you watch carefully, Scrooge will even wink at you. Sexy. The player may choose from one of the three standard difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Sure, I could have handled Hard, but in the interest of a fair review I went with Normal.
Much like in Darkwing Duck, you are presented with a screen of Scrooge sitting at a giant computer. You must use the computer to decide which of the 5 areas you’d like to explore first; the Amazon, Transylvania, the African Mines, the Himalayas, or the Moon. Ya see, Scrooge is on a treasure hunt to collect the five most valuable items in the world. Of course you won’t know this unless you dig up the instruction manual like I did, because the game has no intro. But we will forgive this transgression and move on.
Each level plays basically the same. You play Scrooge and explore every nook and cranny of the stage, bonking bad guys as you go, in search of a different priceless treasure. However bad guy bonking, much like the plot, is difficult to figure out without the manual. Ya see, in order to use Scrooge’s pogo attack you have to jump, then hold the down arrow, then press B (well, whatever key your emulator has assigned B to). To whack objects, B is once again your button of choice, but for some reason you have to hold the direction in which you want to whack (you never need to hit anything backwards, up, or down, why specify?) So while this may never have been a problem with the original game, as you would have had the manual, it is a confusing downside for the ROM. Despite this stumbling block, the levels are generally fun and challenging enough to keep players interested. The music and sound is great, and despite mis-coloring a few characters, the graphics are nice as well.
Powerups in this game are thankfully less confusing than in Darkwing Duck, although just as silly. Ice cream can be collected to increase Uncle Scrooge’s health (he likes his sugar), while diamonds increase your money total, which as far as I can tell, does nothing. Both of these treats are abundant. Bouncing around with your pogo attack can cause even more hidden goodies to appear in many areas. Just like in Darkwing, a little doll of Scrooge acts as a 1up, but these are few and far between so be prepared to use that save state feature.
I hate to keep drawing parallels, but here’s another. In Darkwing I mentioned that if you like hanging on stuff, this was your game. Well, if you like climbing things, DuckTales is the one for you. Vines, ropes, and chains abound adding an extra level of difficulty. The stages play much less linearly thanks to this feature, and the time you spend trying to remember how many levels you have to climb down to get back to an area you saw before, pads an otherwise short game.
My only huge gripe about this game is Transylvania. Upon selecting this level, Scrooge finds himself in a haunted castle with all sorts of hidden tricks. Ooooooh. Spooky. That’s fine and dandy at first, but after a while you’ll notice that this stage is uncharacteristically difficult compared to the others. In fact I actually had to look up a walkthrough to beat it! Suffice it to say that while you are informed that there is ONE hidden passageway in the mansion, there are actually TWO. So I finally breathed a sigh of relief and left Transylvania for the African Mines. Immediately, one of the boys comes out to inform me that I’ll need a key to continue. Guess where it is? Yup. So they send me BACK to Transylvania after I think I’ve already explored the whole damn place top to bottom! So I look around for a while, but I’m already pissed at this level so I get the hint, find the key, and move on.
Whew! Finally, I’m free. So I complete all of the stages and suddenly all of my hard-earned treasures are gone!! I get a message on my computer screen: “Ha ha… If you want to get back the treasures, come to Dracula Duck Manor.” “Well, okay,” I think, “a final boss stage, neat.” Yeah, neat, but apparently the programmers were in a rush because they kinda decided to reuse one of the old stages for Dracula Duck Manor. Guess which one. That’s right, I’m reminded of Al Pacino’s immortal words in The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in.” Now once was acceptable, twice was taxing, but three times was just plain annoying. Transylvania is the only stage used not twice, but three times in DuckTales, and trust me, by the time you get to the third you may very well just quit.
If you’re a very brave little duckling, you’ll make it to Dracula Duck, the final boss. Upon pummeling him, the evil mastermind and TV villain Flintheart Glomgold appears. You’ve got to race him up a rope (yes, more climbing). Whoever makes it to the top first wins. According to my internet sources, his speed is based on the difficulty setting. Your speed is based on how much cash you collected during the game. I guess it was good for something after all.
“BILLIONAIRE CONTINUES TO OPPRESS LOWER CLASS TO INCREASE PERSONAL POWER, GETS PISSED WHEN REPORTER POINTS OUT THAT SINCE HE WAS ALREADY THE RICHEST DUCK IN THE WORLD, QUEST WAS COMPLETELY UNNECCESSARY”
Fun little flashback to lovers of the show, the gameplay’s pretty original, the music isn’t annoying, and you’ll have fun going “bouncy bouncy” on your crazy pogo-cane!
“Blah! I vant to suck your patience!” Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla was less annoying than this game’s Transylvania.

I love this time of year. As soon as I hear Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby, I start getting excited for the season. My favorite Christmas songs are the classics sang by singers similar to those mentioned above. I also love Michael Buble and several country stars, who have some great Christmas albums. I will admit my all-time favorite Christmas song is actually a non-traditional Christmas song, Mary Did You Know? I have several versions of it and love every one of them. If you come to my house during the month of December, you’ll definitely hear that song played more than once.
Happy Holidays to all!!!
Love at First Snow BLURB
Christmas is a time for family–if you have a family.
Four years ago on Christmas Eve, NHL hockey player Blake Daniels lost his entire family in a float plane crash. Every Christmas Eve he mourns his losses by returning to the family vacation home in Friday Harbor, Washington, his family’s destination that fateful night. Only this year he’s also mourning the loss of his hockey career and wondering what’s left to live for. When he finds a kitten starving and half frozen in a foot of snow, he rushes the tiny thing to the local animal hospital.
Still reeling from the unexpected loss of her father on Christmas Eve two years ago, Dr. Sarah Whitney opens the door to her clinic and finds a rough and tough professional athlete holding a minuscule kitten in his big hands. Only a miracle can save the frozen creature and only a miracle can heal the devastating losses suffered by both Sarah and Blake.
But Christmas is the time for healing and miracles if you only believe and give love a chance.
Love at First Snow Excerpt:
Merry effing Christmas.
Blake Daniels plunked his butt down on the front steps of his rustic cedar home, elbows on his thighs, hands clasped in front of him. He didn’t give a shit that the six inches of snow and ice on the steps froze his ass through his jeans. The snow might be pretty, but it was terribly out of place here in the San Juan Islands and he was determined to ignore it.
Yeah. Bah, humbug.
Once, Christmas had been his favorite time of year, a time to celebrate with family and count his many blessings. Yeah, once. Now it was a mixture of melancholy memories and painful realities.
Blake stared at the surprisingly wintry scene around him. Heavy snow bent the boughs on the cedar trees nearby. Christmas lights twinkled cheerfully on his neighbors’ homes. Every once in a while laughter from inside the closest house echoed off the water and drifted up the hill, but that only made his chest clench with pain. In the distance, Madrona Channel churned with water so black and angry a Washington State ferry bound for the ferry landing rocked and rolled. He’d bet his best pair of skates they would shut down the ferries for the night after this sailing.
The storm added to his dark mood. He couldn’t explain why he tortured himself every year by returning to this house. Maybe he kept hoping he’d find what he’d lost. Maybe it was good old-fashioned denial. Maybe he was just plain nuts.
Early this morning he’d walked onto the San Juan Island ferry in Anacortes, Washington, to spend his Christmas the same way he’d spent the last four: by himself on this remote island with just ghosts for company. Not real ghosts, but recollections from his past. The scent of his mother’s gingerbread cookies in the oven. Christmas music played by his sister on the piano near the window. A college football game on in the den. His father and youngest brother arguing over whether or not the Seahawks would make the playoffs. His older brother building a raging fire in the fireplace. They were all things he’d taken for granted, assumed they’d always be there. If only he’d taken that same Christmas Eve flight four years ago, he wouldn’t be the one left alone to pick up the pieces. He’d be in a watery grave with his parents and siblings, none the wiser and a whole lot more peaceful. There were worse ways to go, like dying a slow death inside every day while going through the motions of a life he no longer knew how to live.
For as long as he could remember, his family had flown from all parts of the country to spend the holidays at their vacation home on Orcas Island here in the San Juans. Then came the fatal night their chartered floatplane crashed into the frigid waters of the Straits of Juan De Fuca. His sister had texted him at takeoff to let him know they were in the air and would see him soon. A few hours later, completely unaware of the tragedy, Blake arrived and wondered where the hell everyone was.
It had been snowing then, too. He’d texted his sister first. No response. He’d called her cell and actually got through, but the phone went straight to voicemail. Next, he tried both brothers and his sister-in-law. Same result. His parents didn’t have cell phones. To quote his dad, they’d lived without them for sixty-plus years and didn’t need them now. Frustrated and wondering if they were playing one hell of a joke on him, he’d called the floatplane company. He hadn’t expected an answer and didn’t get one, but he left a message with contact info. He then spent a sleepless night pacing. With no internet access, no late-night ferry service and spotty cell phone reception, he couldn’t do much but wait for morning. Staring at the snow.
A county sheriff knocked on his door at six a.m. One look at the man’s face and Blake knew. He just knew. Two days later he’d walked onto the ice and played hockey because only on the ice could he possibly forget.
Only, he couldn’t forget. Even though hockey was all he had left, he couldn’t get his game back. He bounced from NHL team to NHL team. Coaches scratched their heads, frustrated at how to get through to him, how to get back the player they’d drafted. Teammates avoided him as if he’d caught some contagious disease. Friends expected him to recover and move on. But how does a guy move on from something like that?
Now he didn’t even have hockey. L.A., his third team in a year, had cut him a week ago, and so had his limelight-seeking girlfriend. He’d never been a huge star, but he’d been a good defenseman, the guy a team could depend on to replace a starter, a steady, straight guy who avoided the limelight and just did his job. Yeah, that’d been him. The guy who’d rather read books on the team plane than play cards or video games, rather have a quiet meal than go out and get drunk, the guy who’d longed for a nice girl rather than a groupie—until everything changed four years ago. Lately he’d bounced from meaningless relationship to meaningless relationship. His latest girlfriend Candy—that name should’ve been a clue—had dumped him like yesterday’s bread for an up-and-coming rookie.
So far, not one team had contacted his agent to pick him up. At thirty-four he should have a few good years left, but he’d lost his edge and run out of second chances. He was tired of forcing a desire that didn’t exist, too. In some ways, walking away from the game would be a relief, but what the fuck was he going to do with the rest of his sorry-assed life? He’d never contemplated his future without hockey any more than he’d contemplated it without his boisterous family.
Blake stared at his size-thirteen feet and heaved a big sigh. The weight of the grief he’d denied for four years settled on his shoulders like a concrete yoke. Snow fell softly around him. He buried his face in his hands and listened to the silence.
Blake lifted his head and looked around. The snow muffled most sound, but he heard it again, a pathetic little cry like that of a cat or a kitten.
Standing, he held the railing so he wouldn’t crash down on his ass on the icy steps. He scanned the snow-covered yard but only saw one set of footprints leading to the cabin. His own.
“Kitty? Kitty?” Blake stood absolutely still, listening.
A tiny gray kitten appeared, dragging a useless leg, its hair matted and caked with ice crystals and snow. Malnourished and shivering, it managed few more steps toward him before collapsing in a pitiful heap.
A life-long animal lover, Blake was on the kitten in two strides. He cradled the kitten in his arms, amazed the poor creature was still alive. The kitten gazed up at him with eyes yellower than a sunflower, and a small piece of Blake’s heart cracked open.

Accounting is the language of business, and automation will enhance Accounting efficiency
Relevance of Accounting Software
Accounting automation is a potent tool that business owners can use to solve manual accounting problems. Although the idea of computerized accounting is not new, recent technological advancements like artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), and big data analytics have significantly increased the capabilities of these systems. Accounting software uses artificial intelligence to track data and record transactions.
Data entry and other repetitive tasks are eliminated by AI, freeing up analysts to work on more crucial tasks. Modern technologies perform tasks without error and with little manual intervention. As a result, CPAs can focus more on budgeting and investment planning.
Accounting automation software helps financial professionals complete their tasks more precisely and effectively. Businesses increasingly rely on automation to better use resources and reduce operational costs. Our Robotic Process Automation (RPA) experts can automate many processes in your ERP applications.
Advantages of Accounting Automation
Your accountant can save time and effort by automating accounting. Now, you can deliver outcomes more quickly and effectively. It also can expand your clientele and market reach.
Accurate data is crucial to financial operations and maintaining a positive client reputation. Automation in accounting increases accuracy while lowering the possibility of mistakes.
Software for accounting automation automates administrative tasks, enabling you to save money. Automation reduces record processing costs and time.
Accountants and AR analysts need appropriate and trustworthy data to analyze trends, spot fraud, and create various financial indicators. Non-IT staff can quickly create reports and visualize data with the help of self-service analytics tools in automated accounting solutions.
Large ledger books, journal entry records, and other account management documents are necessary for traditional accounting systems. There is a chance that some of these documents will get lost. Accounting software ensures that data is organized and stored securely in the cloud or on-premises.
You had to sift through reams of paper to find a document or file. Automation solutions make it simple to locate and retrieve data. Accounting automation systems reduce costs and increase the adaptability of data archiving.
Automating accounting tasks is possible, but what tasks should be automated?
I. Accounts Payable (AP) and Account Receivable (AR)
Accounts payable and receivable have a significant impact on the cash flow of the company. A poorly managed AP department costs the business money and damages its reputation with providers. Alternatively, if you don’t maintain AR appropriately, you might not get paid on time, which affects your working capital.
Manage accounts receivable, keep track of unpaid bills, and remind clients to pay on time. You can automate these and other AR processes using software, reducing your workload. At Buchprufer, our team of experts ensures the utmost quality for Accounts Outsourcing Services.
A crucial role for finance teams is managing payroll and payouts. To produce accurate reports, payroll analysts examine employee tax data and rates. Your staff can spend less time and effort on payroll automation. It also ensures reliable payroll reports, which prevents disputes and boosts employee morale. With Buchprufer’s payroll services, you will reduce your staff’s costs and increase profits.
III. Cash flow Reporting and Forecasting
Accountants are served as advisors, offer perspective, and influence strategic business decisions. It takes time to compile extensive amounts of data into reports. It is simple to automate workflows to retrieve data from accounting systems.
IV. Expense Control
It can be challenging to track overdue clients and collect expense receipts from coworkers. The collection, transfer, and effective monitoring of expenses are made simple by automation software.
V. Bookkeeping, taxes, and monthly Financial closing
Tax season and the monthly financial close are stressful times for businesses.
- Recognize and fix errors
- Obtain lost receipts and invoices
- Delete redundant files and items
- Identifying unknown payments
Buchprufer is a well-known hub for accounts outsourcing and bookkeeping services.
Accounting Automation: Will It Replace Accountants?
Accounting automation software helps financial professionals complete their tasks more precisely and effectively. It works similarly to a reliable and consistent automated assistant. As a result, the company’s data analytics and reporting improve, speeding up the process of making strategic financial decisions.
In many simple accounting tasks, AI technology is more efficient, effective, and error-free than human labor. Therefore, this doesn’t imply that AI technology replaces CPAs. However, it will always be the accountants’ responsibility to evaluate and interpret the data produced by the software.
Most people anticipate that machine learning and artificial intelligence will replace workers and take over some roles. This assumption is incorrect, especially in accounting. Accounting automation software helps CPAs work more effectively by enabling them to gather and analyze data more quickly and accurately. Additionally, organizations will always need human CPAs to review and understand AI data.
Businesses will still require accountants to scale efficiently and profitably in the future. The automation does not mean that roles in the accounts department will disappear. As a result, it modernizes CPAs and other related professions so that they can perform their tasks more efficiently. Buchprufer Consultants assists you in obtaining 24*7 remote support for your ERP solutions, which are critical to your business.
Automate your accounting for greater efficiency and scalability
Automation has made it easier for CPAs to conduct better data analysis and reporting. Ideal accounting software enables CPAs to keep track of a client’s business’s overall success. Choosing an accounting automation system can help you grow your company and make a name for yourself.
Any business owner in the modern era can benefit from accounting automation. That’s why accounting automation is so crucial to businesses today. CPAs can stay updated with new developments by integrating modern technology. Companies will also always need human CPAs to review and understand AI data.
The most practical approach to resolving issues and promoting organization growth seems to be accounting automation. With Buchprufer Professional Accounting and Tax Services, automate your accounting and watch your business flourish.
At Buchprufer, our certified ERP consultants can help you continuously improve your business strategies by collaborating with your team to get the most out of your ERP solutions.

Plant bugs will likely show up in alfalfa again this year. Three you’ll likely see are meadow plant bugs, lygus bugs and alfalfa plant bugs. Do you know which can damage alfalfa?
Meadow plant bugs
As the name suggests, meadow plant bugs are commonly found in grassy areas. One way to distinguish them from other plant bugs is by their long, narrow bodies. Adults are about 1/3 of an inch long and can be yellow to dark brown in color. They exhibit wing polymorphism, meaning that their wings can be either long or short. The nymphs, or immatures, look similar to the adults except smaller and without fully developed wings.
Meadow plant bugs prefer grassy areas that are undisturbed by grazing, such as hay fields and road ditches. They are most abundant along field edges but may travel further into alfalfa fields that contain a mixture of grasses. It is usually unnecessary to manage meadow plant bugs because they primarily feed on grasses and have little to no impact on alfalfa plants. However, grazing or burning heavily infested fields can be effective at reducing their populations.
Lygus bugs, also referred to as tarnished plant bugs, include several species that feed on a variety of legumes, including alfalfa. Adult lygus bugs are green to brown in color with a distinct white triangular mark present on their back. They are approximately 1/4 of an inch long and have the end of their bodies bent downward. The nymphs are light green in color and have wing pads present instead of fully developed wings.
Both adults and nymphs feed on the growing points, buds and flowers of alfalfa plants. Alfalfa that is used for forage purposes can usually tolerate feeding; however, stunting can occur if lygus bug populations become high. To scout for lygus bugs, use a 15-inch diameter sweep net and conduct a series of pendulum sweeps throughout the field. Insecticide treatment may be warranted if populations reach 40 or more bugs, nymphs and adults, per 10 sweeps.
Alfalfa plant bug
Alfalfa is a primary host of the alfalfa plant bug, making this insect a pest to watch for. Adults are approximately 3/8 of an inch long and pale green to brown in color. They are nearly twice the size of lygus bugs, although the two can sometimes be confused. The nymphs are small, bright green in color and do not have fully developed wings.
Similar to lygus bugs, alfalfa plant bugs feed on the leaves, buds and flowers of alfalfa plants. This feeding injury can lead to stunting and reduced forage quality of the affected crop. A sweep net can be used to scout for alfalfa plant bugs. Management is recommended when populations reach about 20-30 bugs per 10 pendulum sweeps (this includes nymphs and adults).
For a list of insecticides currently labeled for lygus bugs and alfalfa plant bugs, refer to the 2019 South Dakota Pest Management Guide: Alfalfa and Oilseeds. Check under the products approved for use on tarnished plant bugs. If using an insecticide, please note that it should be applied prior to bloom to minimize non-target impacts on pollinators.

True Grit (acrylic on canvas)
There´s a huge vine climbing beside my kitchen window where the bluebirds build their nests every spring. Unfortunately we´ve got a nasty little gang of young magpies as well here (don´t get me wrong, they are beautiful but you´ll soon see why I don´t like this particular group).
These youngster know very well where my bluetits hide their nests and every spring they try to rob them a couple or so of their precious eggs.
This time though the magpies were in for a surprise!
Last weekend I observed one of the little bluetits I´m feeding regularly on my windowsill showing true grit. He (or she – it´s hard to tell) kept fighting them off by constantly attacking them himself/herself with his/her little beak! It felt like watching David vs Goliath.
It took a while but in the end he/she won this fight and the magpies flew away!
It was frightening and simultanously glorious to watch this scene, and afterwards I couldn´t help it: I had to paint a likeness of my little hero!
Hope you like him/her! 🙂

This is my father Iosif Tets wearing the uniform of a cadet of the private German gymnasium in Liepaja. Photographer J.E.Tacubortich in Liepaja, 1887.
All I know about my father's childhood is that he and his sister Ida finished a German gymnasium in Liepaja. They also got university education. My father left Liepaja for St. Petersburg where he entered the Pharmaceutical Faculty of the Military Medical Academy. This happened during the tsarist regime, when there was a quota for Jewish admissions to higher educational institutions. It was even worse with military institutions, particularly considering that Jews didn’t even have a right to be awarded officers' ranks. However, there were exceptions, and my father was the one. He must have been very determined and smart, and achieved his goals.
Upon graduation from the Academy, my father returned to Liepaja, but there were no vacancies in the town pharmacies, and my father could not afford to open his own pharmacy. So he moved to Riga where there were more job opportunities for him. He found a job and rented an apartment.

The adult care pad is a disposable sanitary product made of PE film, non-woven fabric, fluff pulp, polymer and the like. The adult nursing pad can reduce the occurrence of hypothermia in the surgical patients, and reduce the number of moving patients. It is obviously more stable than the repeated turning of the patient's vital signs, and the patient feels comfortable. What application of the adult nursing pad in surgery? The following small series will introduce you to everyone.
First, preoperative: flatten two 90*60cm2 adult nursing pads on the stretcher to isolate the direct contact between the patient's body and the stretcher. Depending on the patient's condition, the patient's own translation or two-person handling method is used to move the patient to the stretcher. On, cover it with cover. The general principle of handling is to gently move, shorten the distance and save physical strength. Keep warm during the transportation process.
Second, intraoperative: intraoperative disinfectant and various rinsing fluid overflow, the nursing pad can quickly absorb, keep the surface dry, avoid the stimulation of the wet skin sheets on the patient's skin, reduce the conduction loss of skin heat.
Third, postoperative: the shovel stretcher is placed on the flat car, two nursing pads are laid flat on the stretcher, and a nursing pad is placed in the middle corresponding to the patient's waist and hip. After being transported to the ward, the nurse and the caregiver lift the shovel-type stretcher to the patient's bed, disassemble the stretcher, check whether the adult care pad is flat, cover the patient and prevent the body temperature from being lost. During the entire handling process, pay attention to observe the patient's vital signs, lip color, and whether there is chills.
The above is about the application of adult nursing pads in surgery. If you have any need for adult nursing pads or adult diapers, you can contact us at any time!

Photovoltaic fields induced in x-cut Fe-doped lithium niobate FeLiNbO3 were used to achieve optically induced defect formation and light valving in a vertically aligned nematic liquid crystal. Initially, the optical axis of the LC was vertically aligned parallel to the surface-normal of the planar, photovoltaic substrates throughout the whole sample. Samples were exposed with a focused continuous wave laser beam and investigated via microscopic imaging in-between crossed polarizers. The optical axis of the planar, x-cut FeLiNbO3 substrates was in the substrate plane and oriented parallel to one of the polarizers, which resulted in an initially dark state. Optically induced surface fields with high in-plane components generated within the substrates led to director reorientations and defect formation. Accordingly, the samples were locally switched in a transmissive state. The area affected by exposure was larger 300 m than the FWHM of the Gaussian exposure beam 14 m. Switching from dark to bright states light valving could be achieved in the investigated samples much more efficiently than in previously investigated samples with z-cut FeLiNbO3-substrates.
