Inslee Calls Republican Healthcare Plan ‘Disaster For Washington’
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is calling the Republican healthcare plan in Congress “a disaster.” Inslee made his comments Wednesday as new projections on the impact to the state were released.
Inslee said 600,000 poor Washingtonians would lose Medicaid coverage under the American Health Care Act. And another 100,000 people would likely drop out of the individual healthcare market.
“I don’t know whether to call it a FUBAR or a SNAFU situation, it’s hard to argue which one of those two it is, but it is fouled up,” the governor said.
Inslee went on to accuse Republicans in Congress of putting the wealthy ahead of sick people.
“It’s become clear to me that this is a tax cut for the rich masquerading as a health care reform,” he said.
Inslee was joined by Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler who said under the American Health Care Act Washington’s uninsured rate would be higher than it was before the Affordable Care Act.
Inslee said he’s hopeful the Republican plan will be derailed.
The Republican chair of Washington’s Senate Health Care Committee responded to the governor’s comments. Ann Rivers said any healthcare proposal in Congress will undergo many revisions and she says lawmakers will have time “to address any changes that affect Washingtonians.”
Rivers went on to say in her emailed statement that Washington “has been a leader on health-care policy and health-care coverage for a long time, and that won’t change.”
After a long day and night of dueling between the House managers calling for impeachment and attorneys for President Trump declaring the articles of impeachment “ridiculous,” the Senate adopted a set of rules that will govern its impeachment trial, in which opening arguments will get underway Wednesday.

Turbo. Supercharger. No one wants to admit it, but the jargon around engines can be intimidating. It seems like just a bunch of fancy words getting thrown out. Well, we’ve stumbled upon a website that will clear up all the confusion for you.
Even if you are an engine expert, the site offers really cool visuals that anybody can get excited about. It’s like going back to high school biology except it’s actually fun.
The site shows engines working like those human heart drawings that show where the blood flows and how the pumps work. It makes sense the charts look like mechanical hearts, since the engine really is the heart and power of the vehicle.
The page focuses on explaining the difference between Supercharger and Turbo engines. It notes right from the start that both types are designed to “to deliver more air to an engine’s internal combustion process.“
The site gives a side by side comparison of the two. It shows how both get the job done. The main difference between the two comes from the supercharger using a crankshaft-driven compressor while the turbocharger uses exhaust energy for compressor-spinning.
Australian online tire company Tyroola put the page together. Thanks mates.

Ma Rainey - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
From the earliest childhood, Gertrude Rainey felt that the Blues were expressive of the heart of the south. All these years later, one is still impressed by Ma Rainey's unaffected, somber vocal delivery. Her records give credence to the numerous legends that she was Bessie Smith's musical godmother. Ma Rainey taught many Blues singers who are popular today, and is worshipped as the true mother of the Blues.

This article is a belated Valentine day special discussing the love life of our own "reincarnation" of Michael Jackson in his teens—before he had a face job done.
Yeah, you guessed it right, we are talking about Luis Nani. But there are other things in life than being voyeuristic and peeping into someone's love life, at least not Nani's.
Well lets try to talk about something he is apparently good at, Football. This 22 year old is a product of the Sporting Lisbon youth system that has seen the likes of Christiano Ronaldo and Miguel Veloso among others who had been in the news during the recent transfer rumours.
Nani plied his trade at Sporting as a winger, like his compatriot Christiano Ronaldo and made close to 60 appearances for them before he was sold to Manchester United in 2007. He has since been in and out of the playing 11 though he has cemented his place in the squad.
Despite showing promise, his role has been limited to the bench and the starting XI of Cup competitions. Lets see why this so called budding talent has failed to impress the Gaffer and the fans alike and has become the subject of the "Will he Wont he" sarcasm.
1. Will he...Ever be Christiano Ronaldo?
Being a teen prodigy at Sporting, like his more successful compatriot Christiano Ronaldo, he arrived at Old Trafford not only with a big price tag but also with sky high expectations from fans. However, he was seen as a buy for the future rather than the 2007-08 season.
But with injuries to key players, both Nani and Anderson—who arrived the same season, were put to test early in their OT careers and to be fair, both of them did impress everyone.
But that turned out to be more of a first season syndrome. Nani found the net four times last season and six times so far this season. Ronaldo's goal tally was similarly a single digit figure for the first two seasons.
But scoring goals is secondary, he has been brought to OT so that he can set up for others before scoring himself. His performances have been as inconsistent as Rafa's team selection last season.
While Christiano Ronaldo went on to improve the potential he showed in the first season, Nani's performances have hit a roadblock and have somewhat degenerated over time with only flashes of the promise shown early on.
Although it can be argued that he's still young and not a regular, he has had his chance to shine which he has blown away on most occasions.
2. Will he...Ever be consistent?
The only feature that has been consistent in Nani's play is inconsistency. He is found lacking the quality on most occasions even though he seems to be blessed with a repertoire of skills.
His overall performances have been better in cup competitions than in the league as he seems to dwell on the lesser oppositions. Though he scored against Derby in the fifth round of the FA cup, his performance was far from satisfactory.
His most memorable performance would undoubtedly be against Arsenal, again, in the FA cup last season where he scored one and set up a couple as Manchester
United ran out 4-0 winners. But besides such flashes of brilliance, it has been a mediocre outing on most other occasions.
3. Will he...Ever become a first team regular?
With performances we've seen so far, he's way off the mark. He's stuck between showboating and playing without direction in most games. He's often been criticized of giving the ball away too easily.
Though he has shown at times that he can deliver decent crosses and make intelligent runs, he has been inconsistent for the most part.
With veterans like Giggs likely to cut down playing, Nani was expected to push to make his position in the side permanent, on the contrary, Giggs seems to be improving with age and has restricted Nani to just eight appearances in the league. Even when he has had his chances he has shone intermittently at most.
Sadly, the answer to most of the above "Will He's" is—"He Won't."
Not until he shows the perseverance Ronaldo has shown to become the player he is today. Not unless he shows the professionalism and attitude shown by the legends like Giggs. Not unless he gives up showboating and plays for the team.
Hopefully he will mature with age and experience. The arrival of Tosic should act as a catalyst and spur him on from here lest we see another Kleberson in the making. We all love your somersault, but we love the "TEAM winning" better.

Sean Khozin, MD, MPH, on Delivering Precision Cancer Care in the Era of Digital Medicine
Sean Khozin, MD, MPH, of CancerLinQ, discusses the therapeutic advances that have made cancer care more targeted, even as real-world patient outcomes lag behind those reported in clinical trials. Dr. Khozin makes the case for the use of digital decision support tools to advance precision at the point of care.
Kim A. Reiss, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania, discusses results of a phase I trial of a CAR-M engineered macrophage cancer therapy, known as CT-0508, for patients with solid tumors that overexpress HER2. CAR-M, designed to exploit the natural role of macrophages to initiate an antitumor response, is currently under study at multiple clinical sites (Abstract 951).
John M. Kirkwood, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, discusses phase Ib findings on the combination of vidutolimod plus pembrolizumab, as well as vidutolimod monotherapy, both of which showed clinical activity in patients with PD-1 blockade–refractory melanoma. The duration of response with the combination therapy was substantially longer. Phase II studies are ongoing (Abstract 950).
Jeffrey Weber, MD, PhD, of NYU Langone Medical Center, offers his perspective on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncology care and cancer clinical trials, as clinicians strive to provide optimal treatment to patients while reducing their risk of contracting the coronavirus. The steep decline in trial enrollment has recovered, with many of the changes in how research was conducted as a result of the pandemic still in place and improving the process going forward.
Emily Z. Keung, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses the complex interactions of immune infiltrates and neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in patients with resectable soft-tissue sarcoma. These interactions may hold the key to understanding pathologic response to ICB and ICB resistance (Abstract 379).
Patrick Hwu, MD, of Moffitt Cancer Center and President of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), and Mary Dean, JD, CAE, SITC Executive Director, discuss the organization’s mission, strides made in cancer immunology, meeting the challenge of immunoresistance, and the new SITC app for clinical practice guidelines. This app places a useful tool in the hands of health-care providers, one that can be continually updated as the science evolves.

US Sanctions Likely Preclude Them Getting Uniforms
When the US and UN try to impose new sanctions on North Korea, as they do every few weeks, the question that inevitably rises is: what’s left to sanction. The Winter Olympics are underscoring just how far this has already gone.
Just participating in the hockey event is a challenge. North Korea is forbidden, by UN sanctions, from buying hockey sticks, because they’re “recreational sporting equipment.” In past events, North Korean participants have had to borrow all sticks, and return them before leaving.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. North Korea also has to find a third party to supply uniforms for them, because the uniform sponsor, Nike, is afraid that doing business with them will violate US sanctions.
Across North Korea’s participation, this is a recurring problem. The singers and dancers they agreed to send are coming by ship, but the ship may not have enough fuel. Buying fuel would be in violation of the sanctions, so the ship is stuck en route.
Samsung is giving all the Olympics participants Galaxy Note 8 phones, but some are claiming they count as “dual use” because of their processing power and GPS capabilities. The suggestion again is North Korea might be forced to give phones back at the end of the event.
Olympic games are meant to be a time to emphasize international cooperation, and while North Korea’s involvement started as an exemplar of sports diplomacy, increasingly it underscores just how obscene the anti-North Korea sanctions already are, and how petty they’ve become.
Officials “apologize” to Israel for “oversight.”
Signing up for an internationally accessible website almost always means including your country of origin. The same has been true of NBA.com, for years.
Then today, Israel suddenly expressed outrage at that fact, with their Sports Ministry having noticed that occupied Palestine is an option, declaring that to be “an imaginary state” and demanding it be removed.
Sports Minister Miri Regev insisted there is no such thing as occupied territory, and that the NBA’s listing was not in keeping with President Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
Perhaps even more incredibly, the NBA immediately relented, saying it was an “oversight,” and apologizing for including Palestine as an option.
It’s not at all clear what provoked Israel to go after NBA.com, as virtually every website with a registration system has similar options for Palestinian users. That the NBA immediately caved in, and even apologized, likely means they won’t be the last, and that Israel is going to start brow-beating websites on a regular basis.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D – NH) is pushing a bill that would seek a Justice Department investigation of whether television station RT America is “coordinating with the Russian government,” saying there is reason to believe that there are financial ties between the channel and the Russian government, and that “the American public has a right to know if that is the case.”
It is the case, of course. RT was founded by RIA Novosti in 2005 as a nominally “autonomous” non-profit organization. RIA Novosti is wholly owned by the Russian government. Continue reading “Senate Dem Seeks Investigation of RT for Being Russian-Funded”
Hypocrisy is not an unfamiliar site in the comments of top political officials, but Secretary of State John Kerry really took it to new levels today, complaining it was “inappropriate” for President-elect Donald Trump to publicly criticize internal policy of other nations, after Trump’s comments panning Germany allowing refugees into the country.
That Trump’s comments were the same sort of simplistic distrust of “illegals” copied and pasted onto another country in a totally different situation is all true, though really beside the point, as Kerry’s argument wasn’t that Trump was wrong, rather it was that he should keep his mouth shut.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s latest report on the alleged “election hacking” by Russia includes a substantial section focused around the idea that Russian government-funded channel RT is overtly anti-American. This is a common enough accusation, but when set out in a multi-page report format, a lot of the charges fall remarkable short.
Nowhere was this more apparent, however, than on the first page of the Annex on RT, which presented the fact that RT America hosted US presidential debates which included third-party candidates.

It took a few days to get there, but the Washington Post has finally made the circuitous voyage from a headline declaring “Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical security, officials say” to finally arriving at “Russian government hackers do not appear to have targeted Vermont utility, say people close to investigation.”
One big thing you’ll notice about the second headline is that it’s not really a story in and of itself. Russia not hacking the US electric grid would not, on its own, be even a low level story in a newspaper, because every single day of history Russia has managed to not hack Vermont and not bring down the nation’s electrical grid.

Being Apple, we have absolutely no confirmation on what to expect from the iPhone 8 when it’s released next year. However, it’s certain that it’s the 10th anniversary of its iconic iPhones and nearly everyone expects the much needed and anticipated overhaul of the handset when it’s released.
What to expect from the radically(?) redesigned iPhone 8
Again, to guess what Apple is up to is often a fool’s errand but that’s not going to stop me from adding to the rumor mill that continues to churn out its best guesses ahead of any Apple iPhone release. That said, through patents and “in the know” sources like analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo at KGI Securities we have some ideas.
Kuo has for years been a fairly reliable source of leaks and insider information and he has plenty to say about the iPhone 8 if that’s what it is to be called.
There are a number of people suggesting that given the significance of the 10th-anniversary of Apple’s biggest moneymaker, the company could look to get away from its sequential use of numbers in new models and go with the iPhone X or something similar.
For well over a year it’s been rumored that Apple will look to a wraparound OLED display as the biggest change and many are calling for a fingerprint scanner to be embedded in this display while Apple moves away from its physical home button and source of many users’ problems with the flagship handset. We, of course, don’t know how many models will be launched next year but a number of people believe that there could well be a 5.8-inch model as well as 5.5-inch model sporting a 1080p LCD display. This is a bit odd, given the obvious superiority of OLED displays that companies like Samsung and HTC have used with aplomb in their flagship offerings.
Somewhat ironically, it appears that Apple has partnered with its rival Samsung for the production of OLED screens, while also investing huge amounts of money in OLED technology. Money is money (it appears) and the companies which have been locked in bitter patent fights for years seemingly have no trouble working together to see their profits grow. In addition to Samsung, it’s largely believed that Apple has signed deals with Japan Display and sharp to provide it with OLED displays for the coming iPhones.
In addition to the phasing out of LCD displays, there are a number of consensus rumors that give us an idea of what we will see from Apple in 2017. It’s largely believed that Apple will move to an A11 chipset while also drastically improving its present two camera array that graces the back of the iPhone 7 Plus. Assuming Apple does go big with a 5.8-inch display, it will also allow the company to move to its biggest battery ever for the iPhone 8.
It’s equally safe to assume that now that Apple has abandoned its 3.5mm headphone jack, there is little reason to believe that Apple will go backwards now that it has already, albeit briefly, pissed off a number of fanboys.
Next year, Apple needs to something radical or its staleness and sticking with the iPhone 6 model will surely be ripped apart by consumers and critics alike. Apple has been building off that design for nearly four years now and it needs something fresh to rekindle interest in the iconic flagship product.
Will the iPhone 8 take a page from the Galaxy Note and include the Apple Pencil?
A recent patent application suggests that the Apple Pencil could find itself incorporated into one or more iPhone 8 models. In a recent interview, Tim Cook seemed to hint at this when he said, “If you can imagine the things that can be created on an iPhone or an iPad with the Apple pencil, it’s really unbelievable.”
Samsung, as you well know, had a bit of rough year given the multiple recalls of the Galaxy Note 7 and ultimate discontinuation of manufacturing and Apple could move in on this market with the addition of a smart stylus.
Once again, we have no idea what Apple is up to beyond knowing that it truly needs to up its game in order to continue printing money with its line of smartphones. Yes, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the best phones that Apple has ever produced, but for many it was an update easily skipped in lieu of next years anniversary offerings. The Cupertino, CA giant won’t have that luxury next year when it either goes big or fails to impress.


text: This is Book 1 in the “A Mack’s Bar Mystery”. The female main character – Mack – was easy to sympathize with and like right away. She has a condition called synesthesia. Apparently, this is it’s a condition that affects the senses so that they don’t respond normally. The person will taste or see sounds, hear or fell smells, etc. It was a little difficult to understand at first but I found it very interesting. The most useful aspects of her condition came into play with Mack being able to tell when something has been changed in a room or an object moved. Since she’s able to tell if something’s “off” when somebody’s speaking, she’s also a human lie detector. I also liked that there was a double mystery to solve – the death of Mack’s father months before, and the more recent murder of Ginny. Technically there was a third mystery as well – the sabotage of Mack’s bar. All the mysteries kept me interested up until the very end. I enjoyed Mack’s regular bar patrons as secondary characters and suspects. I loved the relationship and potential love interest between Mack and Duncan Albright. So many times in mysteries with a female sleuth and male cop love interest, the cop will come off as very condescending. That was not the case in this mystery. Albright was a great guy and listened to Mack and took her and her abilities seriously. I hope their relationship continues and is able to progress. The ending and solution to the mystery was satisfying and believable. I found this book highly entertaining and look forward to the next book in the series.

Although it was hardly the first portable gaming console, the success of the Nintendo Switch really inspired a new class of gaming devices. It pushed the boundaries of what you can accomplish with a handheld, offering a gaming experience that you can enjoy anywhere, including while sitting on a couch in front of a TV or table. Of course, Nintendo’s selection of titles is just a small part of the larger gaming world, and there have been many brands that have tried to bring the magic of the Switch to PCs. The Steam Deck proved that such a product would be popular, but it just stopped there. Lenovo, on the other hand, went all out with what is possibly the closest to a “Switch PC” to date. But is the Lenovo Legion Go just a Switch clone or is it offering a completely new gaming experience? We take this innovative gaming handheld for a few good spins to find out.
Right off the bat, the first thing you’ll notice about the Lenovo Legion Go is that it’s huge, bigger even than the Steam Deck that’s already considered a giant. It’s slightly thinner than the Deck but only in the middle because the removable controllers almost add an inch to that thickness. It is definitely the larger and heavier of the three major handheld PCs, something that has repercussions for comfort and ergonomics, as we’ll see later.
Fortunately, you might forget the Legion Go’s size the moment your eyes settle on its large 8.8-inch screen, also the largest in this niche market. With a high pixel resolution and bright colors, it easily outclasses the competition, at least in terms of sharpness and visual impact. It doesn’t come without cost, though, but if you value a large, sharp, and fast gaming screen above other specs, this is the one to beat.
The Legion Go definitely carries itself well compared to its peers in terms of aesthetics. Unlike the more rectangular shapes of the Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally, the Legion Go’s controllers taper a bit, creating a more interesting shape from the front. The back of the device is mostly flat save for the contoured handles of the controllers on each side. That back also features a full-width kickstand that lets you easily prop up the Legion Go on any flat surface for playing games or even for watching videos. The top edge has buttons and ports for controlling the device while the bottom has a lone USB-C Gen 4 port for both charging and data.
All in all, the Lenovo Legion Go presents a solid and distinctive design that doesn’t stray too far from the convention but has enough tweaks to make it stand out from the crowd. Its large screen plays in its favor, though the resulting large size is a bit of a double-edged sword. This niche market is still in its infancy and we’ll surely see more interesting designs in the future, but at least for now, Lenovo has pulled enough tricks to give the Legion Go a memorable character.
There’s really no going around the fact that the Legion Go is a bulky and heavy device, bigger and heftier than its two closest rivals. For a device that’s primarily meant to be held in your hands, that can be a huge drawback. Even if its battery life lasts for hours (or if you’re playing it while charging), your hands and arms will undoubtedly tire after the first 30 minutes or an hour at most. It might be an artificial way to limit your gaming time, but the great thing about this kind of device is you don’t actually need to hold it up to play. Just like the Switch, you can simply set it down on a table or connect it to a large screen. Either way, you can just continue playing, at least as long as you have enough battery for it.
As mentioned earlier, this is as close as we’ve come to a Switch-like PC, and that’s primarily thanks to the detachable controllers. You can slide them off, though downward in the opposite direction compared to the Switch, and use them as normal Bluetooth controllers except split in two. There is, however, a special Lenovo-only mode that changes the narrative a bit. It’s called FPS mode and you stick the right controller into a base that makes it look like a joystick, except it’s a mouse that you drag across the table, not unlike those ergonomic vertical mice. As the name suggests, it’s meant to offer a more precise method of aiming with the right hand in FPS games and more fluid movement with the left controller. It’s definitely an innovative design but one that requires heavy muscle memory training to really get used to.
The Legion Go isn’t just a gaming device, however. It’s a gaming PC that runs a regular version of Windows 11, which means the user experience isn’t optimized for anything but a keyboard and mouse or, at the very least, a touch screen. This makes operating the non-gaming parts of the operating system a bit more tedious, though Lenovo thankfully included a small touchpad on the right-hand controller exactly for this purpose. There’s also a tiny scroll wheel on the back side of the same controller, but its location makes it difficult to reach. Along with the idiosyncrasies of Windows itself, this makes operating the device in handheld mode cumbersome and awkward.
Lenovo definitely pulled out the stops when it came to the Legion Go’s silicon muscles. Running inside is an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme with RDNA Graphics paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of NVMe SSD storage. It’s not desktop-level hardware, not even a gaming laptop, but at this size, it’s currently the best that’s available for handheld computers. It can definitely handle most PC games at medium settings, and maybe a few at high settings. Of course, cranking up those options will drain the battery quicker, and there’s not a lot in the first place.
The real star of the show, however, is the impressive 8.8-inch 2560×1600 IPS LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Not only is it the largest among handheld computers, it also has the highest resolution. It’s bright, vibrant, colorful, and sharp. And it’s also quite the battery drain. On paper, a high resolution such as this would be a huge boon for gaming, but only if you have lots of battery and power to spare. At full resolution, the only way you’ll get above 60fps in Fortnite is by setting the setting to medium (67fps) or low (79fps). Then again, 47fps with high settings isn’t so bad either. Dropping the resolution to 1200p made the gameplay experience much better during our test.
The real problem is the battery life, though the Legion Go isn’t alone in this regard. At medium settings, playing Fortnite (with voice chat on) drained the battery in around 79 minutes and at 1200p resolution only. Again, the sharpness of the screen is a huge advantage over the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally, but the price it entails is just too high. Sure, you can set a lower resolution by default, but then you’ll be paying for hardware you’re not able to fully utilize.
The Lenovo Legion Go has the bare minimum when it comes to hardware connectivity, namely two USB-C 4.0 ports, one at the top and another at the bottom. There’s also a headphone jack for good measure so you can connect your favorite wired headphones for more immersive gaming. Having two USB-C ports is great for connecting peripherals or a hub while still having one port free for charging the device. The catch is that the placement of the bottom port makes it inaccessible when using the built-in kickstand. Sure, you can use the top port for charging, but you still lose the other port for other accessories. To be fair, the Switch has the same problem but is worse by having a single USB port, but you’d hope that designers would have solved this problem by now.
Being able to set the Legion Go down on a table and still play using the controllers is also a Switch-inspired feature, but the actual implementation needs a little bit of work. In addition to the awkward way of pulling out the controllers, you apparently can’t use a different external controller unless you take the pair out and disable them from Windows Device Manager. It might just be a bug or a hidden setting, but the fact that it isn’t as straightforward as on a regular computer (or even the Nintendo Switch) makes it a less favorable experience.
When it comes to performance, the Legion Go spares no expense at using the best possible hardware, but having the most powerful isn’t always the correct solution. Power-hungry specs, especially a hi-res screen, drain the battery faster than it should, and owners are forced to tweak every aspect to squeeze out as much juice as they can from the device. Admittedly, PC gamers are used to tweaking settings left and right, but that’s a little less convenient and less ideal on a handheld form factor.
Impressive as the Legion Go’s design might be, there will definitely be concerns about its long-term viability. First-gen designs in this industry don’t always spark confidence, both in terms of durability as well as customer support down the road. Lenovo is an established brand, of course, so there’s an implicit trust in the products that it makes. This device definitely feels solid, despite its plastic body, so you can be assured that it’s not some flimsy product that will die out on you in the first few months.
Its unique design does bring a few complications, though, particularly with the removable controllers. These can be points for mechanical failure in the feature, or structural weaknesses that could lead to an early death for the device. There are a lot of custom parts used for the Legion Go as well, so repairs will have to be done by authorized Lenovo service providers only. That increases the risk factor in purchasing a device that could meet more accidents in your hands compared to a conventional laptop.
Gaming handhelds are becoming popular again, both from the retro front as well as the PC market. Just looking at the growing number of options outside of major manufacturers shows there’s a sizable market for these devices. Not every PC gamer is a fan, though these would also admit dreaming of being able to play games anywhere, including in situations where they can’t use their bulky gaming laptops. As mentioned, there are plenty of options available now, but the Lenovo Legion Go offers the best-balanced set of benefits and drawbacks in the market today.
It has powerful specs topped by a gorgeous and large display that really makes games pop. The FPS mode might need a bit of getting used to, but the convenience of being able to detach the controllers when needed is a huge boon, though there are some rough edges to smoothen out. Battery life is pretty dismal by default, but that’s on par with other handheld PCs. The biggest clincher is that you’re getting this solid mobile PC gaming experience starting at just $699.99, which means you aren’t cutting corners for that juicy price tag.
There was a time when analysts proclaimed the PC market to be dying, but that might only be true for desktops. Laptops flew off the shelves during the pandemic, and now handheld PCs are sparking interest and ushering in a new generation of PC gamers who are living the dream of playing anywhere. There are still only a few players in this market, and Lenovo, the world’s biggest PC maker, is making sure it’s leading here as well.
The Lenovo Legion Go definitely shows the brand’s expertise, combining decades of experience with a bold design and innovative features. It also proves that there is still plenty of room for improvement, whether for refining features or introducing new experiences. At this point, handheld gaming PCs like these are still considered a luxury, but with a tempting $700 price tag, the Legion Go is doing its part to make these devices more approachable and more usable for everyone.

It will leverage the success of another Alphabet Subsidiary- Deep Mind, acquired by Google in 2014. This company used artificial intelligence to study amino acid sequences and predict the 3D structure of a protein. This new venture is supposed to reimagine the whole drug discovery process from the ground up and further research the various fundamental mechanisms revolving around life, as per CEO Demis Hassabis.
The company is named Isomorphic as there might be a mapping between information science and biology, which the company aims to research, according to Hassabis. The companies’ operations will be separate and will collaborate only when relevant.
The aim is to find cures for some of the most deadly diseases in the world. Hassabis said in a statement that the pandemic has highlighted how vital the contributions of scientists and clinicians have been.
They view themselves as pioneers in the emerging “digital biology” field and want to usher in a new age of medical breakthroughs. They also plan to partner with pharmaceutical and biomedical companies using AI to make new medical discoveries and advancements.

Other candidates who have declared their candidacy in the mayoral election are:
Some notable figures have also expressed interest in the idea of running, but have yet to declare candidacy, including Rick Caruso, a local shopping center and entertainment center land developer and journalist Steve Lopez. Among those names who could potentially run but haven’t given formal notice are Bob Iger, the former CEO of Walt Disney Company, Wendy Greuel, former L.A. City Controller who ran in 2013 for Los Angeles City Council and also former Congressman and current District 2 Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Krekorian.
Los Angeles City Council President and District 6 representative Nury Martinez and District 11’s Mike Bonin rejected proposals to run. However, Bonin did offer his support for Karen Bass. Suspended councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas also previously rejected a proposal to run for the position, but he also endorsed Bass.
On top of this, several candidates have already withdrawn their name from consideration, including tour bus guide Kevin Dalton and Eden Cristo, founder of “We Humyns” a grassroots space group.

1891 to 1937 - Matthew Henson
Matthew Henson was an African American explorer best known as the co-discoverer of the North Pole with Robert Edwin Peary in 1909.
Famed African-American explorer Matthew Henson was born in Charles County, Maryland, in 1866. Explorer Robert Edwin Peary hired Henson as his valet for expeditions. For more than two decades, they explored the Arctic, and on April 6, 1909, Peary, Henson and the rest of their team made history, becoming the first people to reach the North Pole—or at least they claimed to have. Henson died in New York City in 1955.
American explorer Matthew Alexander Henson was born on August 8, 1866, in Charles County, Maryland. The son of two freeborn black sharecroppers, Henson lost his mother at an early age. When Henson was 4 years old, his father moved the family to Washington, D.C., in search for work opportunities. His father died there a few years later, leaving Henson and his siblings in the care of other family members.
At the age of 11, Henson left home to find his own way. After working briefly in a restaurant, he walked all the way to Baltimore, Maryland, and found work as a cabin boy on the ship Katie Hines. Its skipper, Captain Childs, took Henson under his wing and saw to his education, which included instruction in the finer points of seamanship. During his time aboard the Katie Hines, he also saw much of the world, traveling to Asia, Africa and Europe.
In 1884 Captain Childs died, and Henson eventually made his way back to Washington, D.C., where he found work as a clerk in a hat shop. It was there that, in 1887, he met Robert Edwin Peary, an explorer and officer in the U.S. Navy Corps of Civil Engineers. Impressed by Henson's seafaring credentials, Peary hired him as his valet for an upcoming expedition to Nicaragua.
Career as an Explorer
After returning from Nicaragua, Peary found Henson work in Philadelphia, and in April 1891 Henson married Eva Flint. But shortly thereafter, Henson joined Peary again, for an expedition to Greenland. While there, Henson embraced the local Eskimo culture, learning the language and the natives' Arctic survival skills over the course of the next year.
Their next trip to Greenland came in 1893, this time with a goal of charting the entire ice cap. The two-year journey almost ended in tragedy, with Peary's team on the brink of starvation; members of the team managed to survive by eating all but one of their sled dogs. Despite this perilous trip, the explorers returned to Greenland in 1896 and 1897, to collect three large meteorites they had found during their earlier quests, ultimately selling them to the American Museum of Natural History and using the proceeds to help fund their future expeditions. However, by 1897 Henson's frequent absences were taking their toll on his marriage, and he and Eva divorced.
Over the next several years, Peary and Henson would make multiple attempts to reach the North Pole. Their 1902 attempt proved tragic, with six Eskimo team members perishing due to a lack of food and supplies. However, they made more progress during their 1905 trip: Backed by President Theodore Roosevelt and armed with a then state-of-the-art vessel that had the ability to cut through ice, the team was able to sail within 175 miles of the North Pole. Melted ice blocking the sea path thwarted the mission’s completion, forcing them to turn back. Around this time, Henson fathered a son, Anauakaq, with an Inuit woman, but back at home in 1906 he married Lucy Ross.
The team's final attempt to reach the North Pole began in 1908. Henson proved an invaluable team member, building sledges and training others on their handling. Of Henson, expedition member Donald Macmillan once noted, "With years of experience equal to that of Peary himself, he was indispensable."
The expedition continued into the following year, and while other team members turned back, Peary and the ever-loyal Henson trudged on. Peary knew that the mission's success depended on his trusty companion, stating at the time, "Henson must go all the way. I can't make it there without him." On April 6, 1909, Peary, Henson, four Eskimos and 40 dogs (the trip had begun with 24 men, 19 sledges and 133 dogs) finally reached the North Pole—or at least they claimed to have.
Life After the North Pole
Triumphant when they returned, Peary received many accolades for his accomplishment, but—an unfortunate sign of the times—as an African American, Henson was largely overlooked. And while Peary was lauded by many for his achievement, he and his team faced wide skepticism, with Peary having to testify before Congress about allegedly reaching the North Pole due to a lack of verifiable proof. The truth about Peary's and Henson's 1909 expedition still remains clouded.
Henson spent the next three decades working as a clerk in a New York federal customs house, but he never forgot his life as an explorer. He recorded his Arctic memoirs in 1912, in the book A Negro Explorer at the North Pole. In 1937, a 70-year-old Henson finally received the acknowledgment he deserved: The highly regarded Explorers Club in New York accepted him as an honorary member. In 1944 he and the other members of the expedition were awarded a Congressional Medal. He worked with Bradley Robinson to write his biography, Dark Companion, which was published in 1947.
Matthew Henson died in New York City on March 9, 1955, and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. The body of his wife, Lucy, was buried beside him in 1968. In a move to honor Henson, in 1987, President Ronald Reagan approved the transportation of Henson and Lucy's remains for reinterment at Arlington National Cemetery, per the request of Dr. S. Allen Counter of Harvard University. The national cemetery is also the burial site of Peary and his wife, Josephine.

If you buy the Standard Edition of FIFA 22 on PS4 or Xbox One, you will not be able to upgrade to the next-gen versions for free – that privilege is locked behind the more expensive version.
Unlike last year's FIFA 21, where you could upgrade your game for free if you purchased it on the last generation of hardware, only FIFA 22's Ultimate Edition ($99.99 / £89.99) will come with Dual Entitlement, making it more expensive for players that plan to upgrade their hardware in the coming year to get started with the game.
This was revealed in a Dual Entitlement FAQ published by the studio. Anyone that wants to buy the cheaper $59.99 / £59.99 version of the game will have to buy another copy if they want to play the proper next-gen version on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. There's no obvious upgrade path unless you buy the Ultimate Edition.
“Dual Entitlement is only available with the purchase of the FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition. The Standard Edition of FIFA 22 does not include Dual Entitlement. That means if you purchase FIFA 22 Standard Edition on PS4 and upgrade to PS5 later, you would need to purchase the PS5 version of the game to play,” reads the release.
It's also worth noting that EA isn't choosing to make the most of Xbox's Smart Delivery feature, and is intentionally locking the next-gen version of the game behind an extra payment level.
At least if you're going in for the more expensive Ultimate Edition, you're also going to get 4 days early access, a Ones to Watch Player, 4600 FIFA Points, and a FUT Heroes Player if you pre-order before August 11.
FIFA 22 arrives October 1 with the new Hypermotion animation system and a gameplay trailer for FIFA 22 will be shown off on July 20 as part of EA Play Live Spotlight.

Those of you on twitter might like to consider following Henry David Thoreau at @ThoreauPage (where he describes himself as "an American author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist" but sadly not as a shedworker). Henry puts up lots of interesting links as well as some of his own best quotes and photos of sites related to his life and work. Recent examples include details of The Thoreau Society's 2009 annual gathering, an abbreviated but still interesting version of Walden, a link to works of his that have been annotated, and The Thoreau Farm Trust which is still looking for donations to finish the restoration of his birthplace.

Hypnotherapy Sessions Can Transform Your Life
Are you tired of feeling trapped by negative thoughts? Do you long for a fresh start in life? If so, I can help you break free from the limitations of your subconscious mind and create a positive, fulfilling path for yourself.
As children, we are shaped by our environment, and these experiences create blueprints by which we live the rest of our lives. Hypnotherapy is merely a light trance-state, which brings us in touch with our sub-conscious mind, and offers us the opportunity to choose a new positive path in this amazing journey of our lives.
How I can help:
I offer two powerful ways to rewrite your subconscious script and create lasting change. The first option involves consciously challenging and reprogramming your limiting beliefs. This approach requires constant awareness and effort as you strive to make healthier choices. However, it can be as challenging as pushing an iceberg.
Alternatively, hypnotherapy provides a profound and effective means to access your subconscious mind. Through deep relaxation and revisiting pivotal memories, we can reshape your beliefs from your adult perspective. This gentle process empowers you to release past traumas, overcome negative conditioning, and embrace new, life-affirming beliefs.
What You Could Gain:
Imagine a life where you no longer feel controlled by unhealthy eating patterns, smoking, or limiting beliefs about your abilities. Picture yourself free from the burdens of grief, anger, anxiety, and fear, able to cultivate fulfilling relationships and achieve your highest goals. Hypnotherapy offers you the opportunity to break free from these shackles and embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and inner peace.
During our sessions, you may be apprehensive about losing control, but rest assured, that will never happen. Unlike stage hypnosis, hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. We begin by discussing your concerns and developing a plan to rewrite your script. The actual hypnosis occurs in subsequent sessions, but the healing process begins right from the start.
Every choice made during hypnotherapy is yours to make. I provide you with choices and opportunities for self transformation and find strength to move forward in life.
Hypnotherapy Can Help Alleviate:
• Overcome unhealthy eating patterns
• Reinforce your goal of Quitting smoking

In the digital age, where online presence plays a critical role in shaping businesses, organizations, and personal brands, the psychology of web design has emerged as a pivotal field.
In the digital age, where online presence plays a critical role in shaping businesses, organizations, and personal brands, the psychology of web design has emerged as a pivotal field. Web design goes far beyond aesthetics; it's about creating an immersive and user-centric experience that aligns with human psychology, behavior, and cognitive processes. Understanding how users interact with websites on a psychological level is fundamental to enhancing user engagement, satisfaction, and overall success of a digital platform.
The First Impression and Visual Appeal
Human beings are inherently visual creatures, and the first impression matters significantly in web design. Research indicates that users form their initial opinion about a website within a few seconds of landing on it. This means that visual elements such as layout, color scheme, typography, and imagery are crucial in establishing an instant connection and conveying the website's purpose.
Color psychology, for instance, plays a significant role in influencing emotions and perceptions. Warm colors like red and orange can evoke a sense of urgency or excitement, while cooler tones like blue and green can create a calm and trustworthy atmosphere. Thoughtful color choices can guide users' emotions and actions, leading them to engage more effectively with the content.
Cognitive Load and Simplicity
The principle of cognitive load refers to the mental effort required to process information. In web design, a user's cognitive load should be minimized to create a smooth and enjoyable experience. Too much information, complex navigation, or cluttered layouts can overwhelm users, leading to frustration and abandonment.
Implementing the "less is more" philosophy, minimalist design aims to simplify the user interface by eliminating unnecessary elements and focusing on essential content. This approach not only reduces cognitive load but also enhances user comprehension and decision-making. Through strategic use of white space, concise copy, and clear visual hierarchy, web designers can guide users through the website's flow effortlessly.
F-Shaped Pattern and Reading Behavior
Eye-tracking studies have revealed that users tend to scan web content in an "F-shaped" pattern. This means that users first read across the top of the page, then move down slightly and read across again, and finally scan the left side of the content. Understanding this reading behavior can influence the placement of crucial information, such as headlines, subheadings, and calls to action.
By aligning important content with the F-shaped reading pattern, designers can ensure that key messages are delivered effectively. This also highlights the significance of concise and scannable content that caters to users who are often in a hurry and are looking for specific information.
Intuitive navigation is at the core of a positive user experience. Users should be able to find what they're looking for without effort. Hick's Law, a psychological principle, states that the time it takes to make a decision increases with the number of choices available. Applied to web design, this means that a website with too many navigation options can lead to decision paralysis and frustration.
The "Three-Click Rule" is a common guideline suggesting that users should be able to find any piece of information within three clicks from the homepage. While this isn't a hard and fast rule, it underscores the importance of streamlined navigation. Clear labels, organized menus, and search functionality contribute to a seamless user journey, reducing the cognitive effort required to explore the website.
Social Proof and Trustworthiness
Human behavior is strongly influenced by the opinions and actions of others. This psychological phenomenon is known as social proof. In the context of web design, integrating elements that showcase social proof—such as testimonials, user reviews, and trust badges—can significantly enhance a website's credibility and trustworthiness.
Users are more likely to engage with a website if they believe that others have had positive experiences with it. Genuine testimonials and success stories create an emotional connection and provide reassurance that the website can deliver what it promises. Incorporating visual cues like user-generated content and follower counts can further establish the website's popularity and authority.
Emotional Engagement and Storytelling
Emotion is a powerful driver of human behavior, and web designers can leverage this by crafting emotionally resonant experiences. Storytelling, for instance, taps into users' innate desire for narratives and connection. By weaving a compelling story throughout the website—be it through visuals, copy, or interactive elements—designers can create a memorable and engaging user experience.
Emotional engagement not only captures users' attention but also makes them more likely to remember and share the experience. This can lead to increased brand loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and, ultimately, higher user retention rates.
The Power of Interactivity
Interactive elements inject dynamism into web design and provide users with a sense of agency. Interactivity fosters engagement by encouraging users to actively participate rather than passively consume content. Features like quizzes, polls, interactive infographics, and personalized recommendations make the user experience more personalized and enjoyable.
The psychological concept of the Zeigarnik Effect states that people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. By incorporating interactive elements that encourage users to take action, web designers can tap into this effect, driving users to spend more time on the website to complete tasks or engage with content.
Mobile Optimization and Accessibility
The proliferation of mobile devices has transformed user behavior and expectations. Mobile optimization is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Responsive design ensures that websites adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes, providing a consistent and user-friendly experience across devices.
Moreover, web accessibility is a moral and legal imperative. Designing with accessibility in mind ensures that people with disabilities can navigate, understand, and interact with the website effectively. This not only extends the website's reach but also aligns with principles of inclusivity and social responsibility.
A/B Testing and Continuous Improvement
Continuous improvement is key to maintaining a website's relevance and effectiveness. By regularly analyzing user behavior metrics and soliciting feedback, designers can identify pain points and opportunities for enhancement. Iterative design based on data-driven insights ensures that the website remains aligned with user preferences and evolving trends.
The psychology of web design is a multifaceted discipline that revolves around understanding and leveraging human behavior, cognition, and emotion to create impactful online experiences. By considering factors such as visual appeal, cognitive load, user-centered navigation, social proof, emotional engagement, and interactivity, designers can craft websites that resonate with users on a profound level. Mobile optimization and accessibility further ensure inclusivity and adaptability, while A/B testing and continuous improvement strategies empower designers to refine their creations based on real user responses. Ultimately, this approach goes beyond aesthetics, aiming to establish strong user engagement and satisfaction, thereby setting the stage for digital success in an ever-evolving online landscape.
The psychology of web design transcends mere aesthetics to delve into the intricate realm of human behavior, cognition, and emotion. By understanding how users perceive, navigate, and interact with websites, designers can create experiences that resonate on a profound level. From the initial visual impression to the navigation flow, from emotional engagement to mobile optimization, every aspect of web design should be anchored in the principles of psychology. Ultimately, a user-centric approach not only enhances engagement and satisfaction but also establishes a strong foundation for digital success in an ever-evolving online landscape.
