Airberlin's lounge & "exclusive waiting area" access explained
Airberlin may be chums with both Virgin Australia and Qantas – the former through a bespoke partnership, the latter via the oneworld alliance – but the German carrier treats the frequent flyers of each airline very differently when it comes to lounge access.
Here's what you need to know before getting turned away at the door!
That heading would more accurately be written as lounge, singular, because airberlin operates just one lounge as we know it.
That lounge is located at Dusseldorf Terminal C and it's open to Platinum and Gold frequent flyers from both Qantas and Virgin Australia, along with Emerald and Sapphire-grade members from other oneworld airlines such as American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Malaysia Airlines).
Airberlin also plans a flagship lounge for Berlin's new and much-delayed Brandenburg Airport, which is now expected to open sometime in 2014.
Airberlin Exclusive Waiting Areas
In addition to its more formal lounge, airberlin also offers what it terms 'Exclusive Waiting Areas' at Berlin-Tegel, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Munich airports (click here for specific locations).
These are more like a low-key 'express lounge' than a full-blown business class lounge – hot and cold drinks, comfortable chairs and handy AC power sockets are the limit of pre-flight creature comforts.
And this is where things get tricky. Silver, Gold or Platinum card holders in Airberlin's topbonus frequent flyer scheme can use these waiting areas, as can Virgin Australia's Velocity Gold and Platinum members under their new partnership.
Virgin gets in, Qantas and oneworld stay out
But Qantas and oneworld travellers do not have access to the waiting areas, even if they boast top-tier Platinum/Emerald status.
That seems to fly in the face of oneworld's standard policy of frequent flyer access to the lounges of all member airlines, btu we've double-checked this with both airberlin and oneworld.
So what's the deal?
Simply put, those waiting areas don't qualify as airline lounges, which means they're not subject to oneworld's lounge access policy.
"Airberlin's exclusive waiting areas fall short of the definition of an airport lounge" oneworld spokesman Michael Blunt explained to Australian Business Traveller.
"They're essentially a part of the main departure hall reserved for airberlin premium customers."

OW needs to ditch Air Berlin and recruit another Central Europe carrier. There is a general incongruence between Air Berlin and the other OW carriers. I do not think it is a good fit.
It's business model and ethos seems more in line with VA, therefor making for a more equitable alliance.
Question is, are there anymore carriers in Central and Eastern Europe not already a vassal of LH?

Not sure I would agree that AB should be tossed out of oneworld. Flying intra-EU, their service is better than BA, and they provide more food/drink than IB do. LX would have been the best pick but their fallout with BA ruined their entry to oneworld.
These "Exclusive Waiting Areas" are certainly not up to the level of a lounge. It's basically a fenced off part of the terminal, so it's no quieter. The refreshments are miserable - nothing alcoholic available. I don't really think oneworld elites need access to them anyway. You would be hard pressed to find an airport that has these waiting areas and no oneworld member lounge.

Madge, I agree regarding LX.
I wish key members of these alliances can put their egos behind them and appreciate the big picture.
Within our region there could have been much synergies between MH, CX and QF to carve out the region between them. It's a real pity that they've been unable to overcome their differences.

CX and MH cooperate to an extent
as for QF they refuse to work with MH or CX but instead want to compete with them in their home markets ( Hong Kong) not exactly a friendly move!!!
I still do not get why QF refuses to codeshare with KA and instead with MU to SIN
OW maybe the best alliance in terms of average airline quality and for airlines lesser overlap routes but the unifiers is basically BA and AA the rest just tag along with them and do not partner much with each other

Thanks for an informative article, David. It explains why the card reader at Berlin Tegel's Waiting Area wouldn't accept my QF Platinum card. No problem though - the next passenger let us in with his Air Berlin card! The Waiting Area was far from impressive: hopefully they will have something better at Brandenburg Airport when/if that ever opens.

The AB Lounge in DUS is nothing to write home about and only allows 2 hours free WiFi access and then you have to pay! I used it on a flight with Etihad.
In TXL, I use the BA Galleries Lounge and had no issues getting in there. That said, the check-in agent said I could use the Waiting Area but I didn't try it so do not know if I got access.
The other AB oddity is that their top tier members get a complimentary hot meal and alcoholic drink but offer does not extend to other OW members!

Dallas Mavericks should be looking to sign Danilo Gallinari this offseason
The Dallas Mavericks will be looking to add pieces this offseason. There is still a ways to go before free agency kicks off, but the moves and power rankings are already a topic. The Mavs are one of the top ten contenders, and their bubble performance gives everyone hope for next season.
To make the jump into title contention, the Mavericks need to add additional talent. They have two of the most promising young stars in the league and a solid cast, but Dallas must acquire another piece or two.
Will the Mavs have the money to make those moves happen? Let us take a look.
Dallas Mavericks have cap figures coming off the books
For starters, the Mavs will have Courtney Lee’s roughly $12 million in cap space coming off. Everyone is operating under the assumption that Tim Hardaway Jr. will opt-in for the final year of his contract, but his salary will just over $1 million less than it was in the 2019-2020 season.
The contracts of J.J. Barea, Justin Patton, and Ryan Broekhoff are also set to expire, providing the Mavs with about $5.5 million in savings.
There are other options for small amounts too. Willie Cauley-Stein has a player option just over $2.2 million. The team also has an option on Jalen Brunson which they will pick up.
The Mavs are in a unique situation because they are a few pieces away from championship contention with a young core. The Denver Nuggets showed us this year what a budding underrated team can accomplish when it takes the league by surprise.
Next: Mavs should target Gallo

Your friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip: Planning is everything!
The simplicity and depth of this quote spoke to me:
“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
Having a plan is one thing, right? The actual planning process to get there – to get maps, look at the topography, figure out where reliable water is on the trail, where can we camp, etc. These are all parts of the planning process. And we LOVE every minute of it!
As I understand it, Dwight Eisenhower was probably emphasizing the importance of the process of planning rather than just the plan.
I’m fascinated by it and now my brain is really working on this. haha

Only The Young forced to push back release of 'I Do'
X Factor group Only The Young have been forced to delay the release of their new single after the CDs got stuck on a lorry in Calais due to the ongoing migrant crisis in the French town.
Only The Young, who finished seventh on the 2014 series of the show and were mentored by Louis Walsh, were due to release ‘I Do’ on July 31 but the ongoing crisis at the Eurotunnel terminal in Calais delayed traffic to such an extent that that CD copies of the single were still in France when the single was due in shops.
An increase in the number of immigrants looking to gain entry to Britain through illegal measures has seen stricter controls on the border, severely slowing down the travel process and causing problems for those travelling between Calais and Dover.
Only The Young had planned a CD signing tour of the UK to promote their single but, as member Parisa Tarjomani explained by BBC Newsbeat, that had to be postponed as they have nothing to sign for fans.
“Due to all the stuff happening in Calais our CDs actually got stuck,” Tarjomani said. “Our management called us at ridiculous o’clock at night and they were like, ‘So guys, the song was supposed to come out in two days but it’s been put back’.
“We were due to do that at the same time the single was released but we’ve had to shift everything up, our whole signing tour has completely changed.”
‘I Do’ will now be released this Friday (August 7) instead.

Torrefaction is a specialized process used on Recording King Adirondack spruce tops where the wood is heated at a low temperature in an oxygen-free environment.
This curing process reduces impurities in the wood and results in weight reduction and increased stiffness, producing a similar chemical transformation to wood that has been dried for decades.
The end result is a lightweight, extra-resonant top that produces similar tone to a vintage instrument that's been loved and played for years.
These solid torrefied Adirondack spruce tops are the foundation for Recording King's Torrefied Series dreadnought guitars. When paired with mahogany back & sides the result is guitars with extra punch, projection, and warm, vintage-style tone everywhere on the fretboard.
Whether you're a singer/songwriter or fingerpicker, the Recording King Torrefied Series guitars are the perfect way to achieve vintage tone in a new instrument.

The walls of Rajnigandha Underpass at the end of the DND flyover have become a canvas for a group of Fine Arts students and professors, who have been tasked with painting them around the theme of ‘environment’ by the Noida Authority.
The beautification is being carried out by artists in collaboration with the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, dedicated to contemporary and modern art. With nature as its theme, colourful birds are being hand-painted on the walls. The Noida Metro Rail Corporation had earlier hired the same team to paint graffiti and murals on pillars of four Metro stations on their newly inaugurated Aqua Line.
Santosh Kumar, a 28-year-old Fine Arts professor in Jamia Millia Islamia, is monitoring the process. He stands next to a makeshift bamboo stand as students perch on various levels to paint their sections. With each stroke, the painting of a parrot is given symmetrical edges and cuts, in line with a modern touch.
“We began painting in January, and hope to complete the project in two months. It’s a difficult task, as all people working are students. They paint from 8 am to 1 pm during weekdays, and attend college in the second half. These are talented people with an eye for different, quirky art,” Kumar said.
The team members also works as an informal group called ‘Immature Artists’, involved in street art projects across NCR. “The name was picked as we want to be judged on our rugged looks. We want people to look at our art and let it speak for itself. So we took their judgment and gave it back to them. We have painted Metro pillars and worked on other projects,” Kumar said.
Noida Authority officials said the designs are first approved by the department and artists are then given a brief. “We have done similar beautification with the Swachh Bharat theme. This is one of several projects we will undertake. The theme is environment and nature,” said Rajeev Tyagi, general manager of the authority.
Abhishek (25), a Delhi College of Arts student, said the stress of managing time between college and this work is nothing compared to the joy he gets in painting. “We get our colours prepared using machines. The paints are exterior emulsion. When we need a colour which is unavailable, we create it by mixing on the palette. It’s wonderful when the colourful birds take a final shape. It’s almost like they are alive,” he said.

Guest blog by Dr. Dinesh Kumar Mishra
Floods in East Champaran started following the heavy rainfall in the last week of July 1987. There was a sudden rise in the flood levels of the tributaries of the Burhi Gandak (Sikrahana) like the Sarisawa, the Tilawe, the Gaadh, and the Bangari leading to submergence of lower areas of Raxaul town where flood water of depth up to two to two and half feet was spread all over. This initial flood had also affected 25 Panchayats and 125 villages in the blocks of Raxaul and Ramgarhawa. The rains that set in on the 26th July, 1987 continued unabated and by the time of the beginning of August all the major rivers –the Gandak, the Burhi Gandak and the Bagmati were in spate. Road communication of Motihari, the district HQ of East Champaran, was disrupted fully in this very first spell of floods. There was three feet deep water passing over NH-28 near Chhapwa. The road to Bettiah and Areraj was too badly damaged to afford vehicular traffic to pass through. Road from Pipra Kothi to Siwan was already damaged much before the rains and its condition deteriorated further after rains. All the three rivers were flowing above danger mark on the 2nd August, 1987 and a vast cultivated area along with hundreds of villages came under a sheet of flood water of these rivers. The train service between Sugauli and Darbhanga was suspended because of flood water on the railway track.
The situation turned for the worse when there was further rise in the levels of both the Gandak and the Burhi Gandak, and water entered the Motihari town snapping the rail and road link between Motihari and Raxaul. There was no surface communication between Raxaul and Bettiah either. Motihari – Areraj and Sugauli – Raxaul road and rail link was also snapped on 3rd August, 1987. Railway line between Adapur and Panchpokharia Halt stations was swept away and the trains running between Narkatiaganj and Darbhanga were stranded wherever they were. The flood situation in Raxaul, Ramgarhawa, Adapur, and Sugauli blocks was particularly precarious. Almost three-fourth of Motihari town was flooded by river water and places like Daroga Tola, Jaadbhari, Belbanawa, Thakurbari, Rajendranagar, Jaanpur, Banjaria, Pandaal and Chhitauni were more affected than others. People had to vacate their houses and had to take shelter on the roofs or some other higher places. Chief Minister Bindeshwari Dubey and Irrigation Minister Ramashray Prasad Singh took an aerial survey of the flooded area of East Champaran to assess the situation and needs there. The trip resulted in establishing of 31 relief centers in the district. Situation in the adjoining districts like Birganj in Nepal was equally bad and three feet deep water was flowing through most of the streets in the town. In the swift current of water, items kept in the Custom Office of Birganj like coconuts, paan, tins of Soyabean oil and drums of vegetable oil were washed away and were floating in the streets of the town. Local people fished these items and sold them at throw away prices.
Flood water stared receding from the Motihari town on the 4th August, 1987 but that was a death knell for the people of the blocks of Ramgarhawa and Turkaulia as the water of Burhi Gandak was on the look out of new places for flooding. People from the most of the areas in the district were facing the music due to floods by this time. Last year too there was flood in East Champaran but the situation was not that bad. This year, a drought was taking shape in the beginning of the season but the rains after 25th July changed the sequence totally and the floods returned where they belonged to. Many smaller streams became active this year apart from the tributaries of the Burhi Gandak to flood over 200 villages of Raxaul, Ramgarhawa, Adapur and Chhauradano blocks. There were gaps in the embankments of the rivers and water coming out of those gaps together with flood waters of relatively quiet rivers like Dhanuati worsened the situation for the people living in Sugauli, Areraj, Turkaulia, Motihari, Chirayya, Pakridayal and Madhuban blocks. All the Bhadai and Agahani crops in these blocks were lost and, at many places, even sugar cane too was drowned and destroyed. Nearly 3, 00,000 people of these blocks were trapped in floods and a sizable number of them had taken shelter on the railway stations of Sugauli, Semra, Motihari, Ramgarhawa, Dharminia, Raxaul and Adapur. People had cut the railway line near Ramgarhawa railway station to drain the water out and this was nothing new at this location. Breaching canals of the Gandak Project had helped making situation worse for the people. Those who were left behind in the villages and had not moved out were facing the problem of cooking food as there was no fuel and those who still had cattle with them were facing the fodder crisis.
There is a funny story related to the Gandak Canals in the Paharpur block. Many canals of the Gandak Project pass through this area but the farmers do not get any irrigation from them. The Government extracts canal charges from the farmers because their fields are located in the command area of the canal. The farmers whose land was acquired by the Government for the Project were paid compensation for their land but they still pay land cess (Malguzari) to the Government as the records are not yet updated. Massive water logging takes place in the villages of Inarawa Bhar, Pakaria, Bankat, Parsauni, Laukaha, Bihasi, Ibrahimpur, Sataha, Sairwan, Tikulia, Bagaria, Raykataria, Hematpur, Bhusepur, Mahiyarawa, Narkatia and Panditpur etc. The canal prevents drainage of rain water in the first place and seepage from the canal adds insult to injury. At times, this water logging acquires unbearable proportions and water even enters homes of the farmers. The farmers cut the canal in that case and turn it to a drainage channel. This is what they have been doing for the past ten years in some village or the other. Then they are booked for damaging Government property and case are filed against them in court of law. The farmers then apply for bail and get it. If at any time the Government had dug a channel for draining the water out, it was done for making money and defalcation in the name of drainage and water logging remained where it was. (Dainik Hindustan-Patna, 6th September, 1987)
Water of the Burhi Gandak once again entered the town of Motihari on 11th August, 1987 affecting the water supply, electricity establishments and telephone line. Rail line once again was covered with flood water and the services had to be suspended. There was a heavy shower in Raxaul area on 12th August, 1987. This again resulted in flooding of 200 villages in Raxaul, Adapur, Ramgarhawa, Sugauli and Turkaulia blocks. The Sarisawa was active on the eastern and northern side of Raxaul while the Burhi Gandak and Gaadh were submerging over 100 villages of Ramgarhawa and Raxaul blocks like Singhasani Bela, Adhkaparia, Harsauna, Kakoria, Garh Bahuari, Belwa, Sirsia, Sukhi Simra, Belahi and Chkani Haria Panchayats. The impact of this flood was so severe that Kaisar-e-Hind and Kharkatawa ring bundhs were breached at many places. NH-28 was also overtopped at many places leading to disruption of traffic between Bihar and UP. The resumption of train services between Sikta and Marjadawa that was suspended for the past 12 days was further delayed.
It was around 20th August, 1987 that the floods of this round came to a manageable stage and after a gap of about 25 days the flood victims started returning to their homes. The floods had so far spread to 17 blocks of East Champaran, seven people were reported to have been killed and over 7.5 lakhs people were reported to have suffered floods this year and. Their return to homes, if at all the houses still existed, was accompanied by total destruction of the Bhadai and Agahani crop, with the anxiety of rebuilding the house, repayment of loans incurred from moneylenders or Government institutions, preparation for the next Rabi crop, fodder for the cattle, protection against epidemic, safety of left over grains if any, and shattered family economy. In the process if anyone received some assistance from the Government, it was an occasion to celebrate. To say that it was a solution to any of the long term problem was clearly an illusion.
According to official figures 718 villages belonging to 18 blocks and a population of 12.09 lakhs suffered floods this year in East Champaran together with 1.70 lakh cattle. Standing crops over an area of 83,000 hectares were destroyed and 25,124 dwelling units were also hit by floods. Some 17 persons and 2 cattle lost their lives in this tragedy. Total losses in the district were estimated to be Rs. 32.0708 crores.

IN THE SMALLEST
53.7 kW / 2 100 rpm
8 800 kg
+ Extremely compact short-tail-swing
+ Comfortable driver‘s cab
+ Hydraulic pipework for quick
+ coupler attachement
+ 2 prop. control circuits on the joystick
For the greatest loads – particularly precise robot-manufactured welded seams guarantee durability even in the toughest conditions.
Safe operation in the smallest of spaces – the compact dimensions of the short-tail-swing machine allow for safe working and manoeuvring even in extremely confined places.
Minimal slewing radius, maximum stability – whether during large-scale loading work or work in confined spaces – the SANY SY80U short-tail-swing excavator can do its job optimally anywhere. With its minimal tail swing radius, and thanks to its compact, rounded short tail design, the driver can completely concentrate on their working area without having to watch out for the tail. In this way, the machine can work safely in the smallest of spaces or in the direct proximity of obstacles. This is perfect for tasks in inner-city areas or in landscaping. Safety has not been compromised here – even with its long digging reach and great dumping height, the SY80U remains reliably sturdy.
Maximum comfort, maximum productivity – with its ergonomic seating position on the suspended seat and various comfort features such as air-conditioning and convenient gear changing on the blade lever, the driver‘s cab has been designed with
optimal user comfort in mind.
Comfort zone driver‘s cab – the driver‘s seat with high seat backrest offers the driver a comfortable workplace, thereby reducing symptoms of fatigue to a minimum. The positioning of the controls is ergonomically designed – clear and easy to reach, they help to ensure that the driver can achieve maximum productivity while working.
The joysticks with 2 proportional control circuits are also part of the standard equipment and allow safe and precise control of the machine, including all attachment devices. The ergonomic and handily placed control lever for the dozer blade now also has gear switching integrated, making adapting the machine to the work situation even easier and more effective.
Safety first – comprehensive safety features as standard – from stable cylinder covers to lockable protective hoods to standard safety valves.
Enhanced productivity through safety – from the ROPS- and FOPS-certified driver‘s cab to the wide field of vision for the operator to the standard safety valves and the lockable protective hood – the SY80U doesn‘t cut corners when it comes to safety. Right down to the smallest detail – even safety valves and cylinder covers are, as with the LED working lights, provided ex works as standard. This is also the case for maintenance and service – rotating or hot engine components are protected against inadvertent contact.
Reliable power – the tried-and-tested YANMAR 4-cylinder diesel engine is the centre piece of the powerhouse. The powerful transmission guarantees reliable performance for all tasks, even in harsh working conditions.
Designed for the long term – the standard LED working lights don‘t only illuminate the night like the day, but also counter the harsh conditions to which the SY80U is subject in its daily work.
The reliable YANMAR drive unit complies with the latest emission standards and is inconspicuously hidden in the tail of the machine. All important service points are easily accessible.
The electronic fan control ensures a minimal level of noise emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Meticulous machining and robot-controlled welded seams, accurate to the millimetre, also contribute to this. This gives track shoes, connections, bottom rollers etc. their extremely long service life.
Lower consumption means greater savings – this is especially the case for fuel consumption. The automatic speed setting ensures that the short-tail-swing excavator remains economical in the long-term even when delivering maximum performance.
Economical with every task – the „auto idle“- function ensures that fuel consumption is minimised. All without compromising the performance. The load-sensing hydraulic system delivers more hydraulic power with less loss. „With intuition“ – the system regulates the flow rate and pressure as required.
Service-friendly in every regard – all important places for routine maintenance or checks are conveniently accessible from the ground. Lubrication points are combined in a meaningful and easily accessible way. This means that regular service work can be completed quickly and safely. This increases the availability and service life of the machines and ensures that operators and equipment are reliably protected in the long term. The complete hydraulic preparation for the quick change mechanism ensures easy and cost-effective adaptation of the quick coupler.
A TRUE WORKHORSE
The SY80U short-tail-swing excavator is tailored to the requirements of tough everyday use on the construction site. It demonstrates its impressive versatility when digging, loading and crushing – and its agility is evident, thanks to its swivelling boom and the short tail concept. Aside from its compact design, it impresses with its first-class performance, its low fuel consumption and its
outstanding user comfort.

Exhibition Review: Sellwyn Pullan—What’s Lost
The skills of Selwyn Pullan (1922-2017) and other architectural photographers of his generation changed the way we see architecture of the postwar era. The image is not transparent to the building; in its setting, it creates a scene. Through staged elements and framing of specific views under particular lighting conditions, architectural photography instituted an idealized relationship between viewer and building. As the current exhibition at the West Vancouver Museum reminds us, photography is a much more intention-laden medium than is commonly presupposed.
This exhibition reveals a photographer testing his mastery, fully exploiting the range of his film stock, first in capturing the image, then in the darkroom printing where great craftsmanship was required. Today, Pullan’s images reveal degrees of obsolescence neither intended nor even conceivable at the moment of their making.
These photographs show a side of Selwyn Pullan distinct from his colour pictures of sleek new postwar houses with happy young Vancouver families within. Instead, the night photos investigate a uniquely Canadian view of technology: “the electric drama,” as Marshall McLuhan called it, evoked by broad windows and brightly illuminated signs, and the purity of black and white film. This “cosmic” view of technology, however, hints at a darker counterpoint: the deprivation and emptiness that would grow out of these new technologies.
Among the roughly 50 images on display in What’s Lost, four pictures stand out to me as exemplary pictures of innovation that now appear as an imaginary technological pastoral. First, “B.C. Electric Headquarters.” Pullan had taken many daytime photos of this renowned building, but this night shot offers a different perspective. The view gathers the cityscape, luminosity and detail into a panoramic gaze associated with modernity and the sublime. The glowing tower brings order to the phantasmagoria of scattered streetlights and illuminated windows of the few remaining 19th-century houses around it. Yet flattened by a wide lens, the building becomes just another vertical sign, like those of the movie palaces in the foreground.
Next, “Clarke Simpkins Showroom.” The advanced design of the car dealership is characteristic of high-end imports, but the real subject of this picture is light. First, we have the glowing glass box and the signage, topped by four lanterns on the building’s roof. In the adjacent lot sits an enormous arc-light, dimmed but ready to light up the dark sky. On the opposite corner, an ordinary street light barely illuminates a wooden power pole and drab apartment building. Pullan has meticulously assembled a complex dreamscape of history and technology as if to anticipate obsolescence.
Then, “CKWX–Radio Station,” which presents communications as a utopian ideal in Pullan’s time, one that would help create a modern Canada. The anachronism of broadcast radio is made more poignant by the tiny scale of the constructivist mast that holds both the station call letters and transmission antenna. Note the paltry vegetation: in a city where the forest biomass defied the settler’s axe and imagination, nature is now ornamental.
Finally, the photograph “Hungry?” depicts a decidedly gendered space: even though the figures are veiled by window glass, we know the drivers to be predominantly male, with the female consumer dominant in the home. Just to the left is a woman in an apron talking to a child. For Pullan to have cropped them away would have been so easy, but he has left them there to inhabit the scene of absence.
These images of bright figures against the rich black of the night suggest a city and a culture emerging from its past and still imagining its future.
Robert Kleyn is an architect and artist based in Vancouver. What’s Lost is curated by Kiriko Watanabe and exhibits at the West Vancouver Musem until July 14.

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time You can do things before they need to be done. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place. Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage. Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
Chess could well be one of the best games for kids to learn to play. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of studies showing the benefits of learning chess.
In this study, it states that kids who play chess regularly achieve greater academic success – not simply because of the game itself, but also because kids who play chess are thought to be smarter. So, in turn, just playing helps kids believe they are smarter, and therefore have better academic progress.
Not only that, but according to this article, chess is truly the ultimate game for kids of all ages, stating that kids as young as 4 can easily learn the game. The evidence is truly astounding and truly makes chess the ideal family game for kids to play with siblings, parents, and grandparents.
A quick glance at some benefits of chess:
Using chess pieces, like these shown, from various battles throughout history give parents and grandparents a great talking point on history lessons while spending valuable time together.
Some of these chess piece sets can be a lot of fun and stimulate lively conversation, like these with the Queen’s Navy verses the Pirates.
Then there are chess sets such as these with Greece verses Rome – who is going to win?
When having family get-togethers, what more fun could a small chess tournament be? This is a great way for family members to spend some quiet one-on-one time visiting together during the hustle and bustle. Playing chess bridges generations and gives everyone in the family a chance to spend quality time, actually getting to know each other, while kids learn valuable lessons they can’t get anywhere else.

Title: Weapon tactics and combat moves
Description: think hard
Yue Osakura - February 5, 2009 01:22 AM (GMT)
I have too many questions and most of use don't have that much time online. so i'll just ask them 2 at a time if thats o.k.
1. are we aloud to preform attacks like the shield bash or stun with the Physical shields and, if so would it be under mech strike damage?
2. if i were to use a dragoon equiped with a a blade and use it and my skill is gunner. would it count as a melee or range?
Tifa Mysteria - February 5, 2009 06:39 AM (GMT)
1. If its not an offensive action then it would be counted as a machine strike, its just taking a different form to a punch or kick.
2. Although a dragoon is a ranged item, if its attacking with a melee weapon it would be counted as a melee attack.
Bryant Molirse - February 5, 2009 08:58 AM (GMT)
Yep what Tifa said. :lol:
Yue Osakura - February 5, 2009 07:13 PM (GMT)
3. Phase shift armor protects the "UNITS BODY" but not any weapons or add on mounted on it. right or wrong?
4. lets say i'm useing the acid sprayer and i have it equipped to the mouth of a beastyal type mech, do a bite, and use the sprayer with the fangs. would the attack count as anti-matterial/kenetic or just as the one then the other?
Bryant Molirse - February 5, 2009 07:48 PM (GMT)
Phase shift only protects the machines body.
It would only count as one or the other, or you could do two attacks to make each count.
Yue Osakura - February 6, 2009 09:23 PM (GMT)
5. lets say I want to create the back mount weapon like on the baserk furry from zoids and do all the things it did with them. As a drill, open claws, beam gun, shield genarator, etc. what would i need to do to make said weapon or would it take too much for the game limits here?
6. aside from supposed weight limits. flight in this game is free. no need for specal sysyems?
Tifa Mysteria - February 6, 2009 10:15 PM (GMT)
5. Well you could use the dual weapon mounting bracket. Use two of them on one hardpoint increasing the capacity to three, then combine two anti ship swords and a beam gun onto a single hardpoint. The shield you could just use a positron deflector screen system. That's about as close as I can get to the Berserk Fury, you'd only be missing one blade. Would be a tad expensive but its possible. Or you could mount three blades and have the gun mounted on a separate hardpoint and say its mounted in the middle of the other three.
6. No system is needed to fly, if you wanna take to the air go right ahead! ^^
Yue Osakura - February 6, 2009 10:23 PM (GMT)
7. Are throws and tosses aloud? plan and simple.
8. Can weapons like the multi-phase beam gun be turned from a single stream beam to a multi-barrel beam gun with multipule streams? Use example, Dinah from xenosaga
Tifa Mysteria - February 6, 2009 10:43 PM (GMT)
7. Throws or tosses would be counted as machine strikes I believe.
8. Not that I'm aware of.
Yue Osakura - February 9, 2009 01:13 AM (GMT)
9. damage modifiers on the frames reduce the damage reguardless of haveing a shield or not. true or not?
Tifa Mysteria - February 10, 2009 01:03 PM (GMT)
Two extracts from the rules;
The Damage Modifier changes the level of damage a machine receives when it is hit by an attack. While this modifier does not negate damage, the lowering of damage at the point of impact allows a machine to survive longer in combat. Please note, no matter your Damage Modifier, you will always take at least weak damage from attacks that hit, and that this only affects attacks that hit the machines body itself, not its weapons, or shields.
Related to the stat Guard, this type of defense covers all guards, and countering of attacks. Comprised of the actions that absorb, or defeat damage, this action can range from blocking with a shield, guarding with a section of the machines body, or even defending with a weapon. Unlike dodging, defending an attack automatically reduces an incoming attacks damage to Weak, even if your defense fails. This action uses Defense Score. Defenses of this kind are affected by the Character Skill - Defender.
So damage mods only affect the frame, but if you defend it cuts all damage to weak for the body or shields.


Programmatic scaling is a key OpenStack advantage

Openstack is very viable and is seeing a lot of traction, Pete tells Martyn Warwick, so as far as VMware is concerned, we want to provide our customers with the tools that can help them do what they want to do. Pete says he’s seen a significant increase in customers looking at OpenStack and he says VMware has arranged things so that customers can quickly and easily deploy the entire framework. So what’s the attraction? “OpenStack is a great way to programatically drive the ‘scaling up’ of an environment,” he says.

As a child of the 1980s, Transformers were a very big deal indeed to me, up to the age of, say, 10, 11 or so. Kinda drifted then, until what can only be described as a mild mid-life crisis got me collecting plastic toys again, in my late 30s. So for the past few years I've been enjoying the best mainline toys Transformers has ever seen (I wrote about one of them, in 2020), catching up with the actually fantastic IDW comics, and accepting that Bumblebee is a far superior movie to the 1986 animated affair.
I've also been watching Netflix's original anime series Transformers: War for Cybertron, based on the body-morphing robots from the planet Cybertron. First in this toyline-accompanying trilogy came 2019's Siege and then, just last week, Earthrise debuted on the streaming platform. (The final part, Kingdom, is yet to receive a release date, but will likely arrive in late 2021.) Inevitably, my sons and I were watching on day one - but, sadly, the series left all three of us disappointed, albeit for different reasons.
Transformers cartoons based specifically on the characters from the mid-'80s, aimed at least partially at adults, have been poor for a while now (the bright, boisterous and very kids-orientated Cyberverse gets a pass). Machinima's web-exclusive Prime Wars Trilogy, running from 2016 to 2018, was a wretched experience where three consecutive toylines loosely inspired on-screen events that saw fan-favourite Starscream become a magical, massive combiner and then (inevitably) die, and Hot Rod become an even-more-annoying evil version of himself, with the fans-accused Prime-killer possessed by the spirit of the monster planet/actual god Unicron. It was bad, top to bottom, start to finish, bad.
Still with me? Okay. The release of Siege last year, produced by Rooster Teeth, went some way to correcting the wrongs of Prime Wars, offering a neat and tidy reset for all that'd happened in that series and putting the rival Autobots and Decepticons back at square one, on a barren Cybertron ravaged by countless centuries of conflict. Come its end, Autobot leader Optimus Prime could only keep the magical MacGuffin of the AllSpark out of the hands of his opposite number, the lusciously-lipped Megatron, by mightily yeeting it into a Space Bridge - a portal to some unknown place, in a wholly different neighbourhood of the galaxy. Cliffhanger set, roll credits.
Earthrise follows directly from that climax - with Prime and his crew in search of said artefact, pursued (eventually) by the bad 'bots, once they've handled all of their bad business on the badly-busted-up surface of the bad-shape Cybertron. And then, the plot of Earthrise goes and drowns itself in a slurry of self-referencing sideways glances and fully blown easter eggs the size of interstellar battleships, taking five of its six episodes to reach the destination implied by its title, and forgetting to include much in the way of coherent, compelling storyline for fear of, I guess, not giving old-school fans all of those callbacks.
But there are only so many echoes of the past that any new twist on a veteran franchise can take - and with Transformers celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2019, and the 35th anniversary of its debut movie this year (oh boy, do those new toys look good), while some respect for precedent can be appreciated, this much smacks of laziness. Consider, too, that the dialogue of Earthrise is delivered in an incredibly stunted style - any drama in the script is undermined completely by the horribly half-paced direction of the performances - and what you're left with is roughly an hour's worth of original action stretched, painfully, across six 25-minute episodes.
And look, I'm an unashamed nerd for this stuff. I love the old animated series, and the '86 movie. I know plenty of it's bad, and I don't care. But by the end of the fifth episode of Earthrise, I was ready to throw in my robo-towel. It was just nudge after wink after beat-you-over-the-head-with-another-reference, until I'd lost track of why I was meant to care about Optimus and Megatron having a spark to spark.
But that's me. Perhaps, perhaps, you'll get a kick out of seeing characters introduced to the series through the '86 movie collide with those who never made it into the original show (but have some great toys, in both the past and the present); or be thrilled by the combination of IDW-inspired destinations overlapping with Headmasters-associated locations, even if the inhabitants you expect to spot turn out to be absent. (If you're hanging on for a Hive, prepare to be disappointed.)
Maybe, just maybe, you'll love how this Galvatron appears to be both that one, and that other one, in a single body; and yet, he's very much still controlled/tortured from afar by his creator from '86, the aforementioned Unicron. (Whose appearance in the trailers for Earthrise is surely a spoiler that could have been held back? He's kind of a big deal, after all.) As for the Galvatron before Galvatron, which is to say Megatron (unless we're in a timeline where that's not the case... still keeping up, here?), he finds that he can generate a red mist of pure hate and project it at his enemies. Sounds ridiculous, and it is - but it's a throwback to the two-part episode The Return of Optimus Prime from 1987, so while it makes no sense, who cares? It's fans-pleasing nonsense, just go with it.
And that's, I guess, the thing I can't quite do with Earthrise: just go with it. My kids were disappointed with how slow the series was, how short on action it felt, and how it did so little with big new characters like the Quintessons - the Transformers' creators, in many franchise origin stories. I was disappointed with the overwhelming reliance on Transformers media of old to carry a brand-new story (albeit one that clearly runs parallel, in a big way, to the 1984 cartoon's opening episodes) from one planet of significance to another.
Naming no names, the way in which one massively charismatic presence from the post-'86 movie era is wasted as a stupid lunk is, actually, sort of insulting; and the late-series twist from a focus on one trinket of note to another, one that's more familiar to '80s fans, really comes over as the scriptwriters running out of ways to extend their meagre story to fill the commissioned slots.
The limited switching back to skirmishes still playing out on Cybertron represent the show's freshest moments, and feature its standout character in Elita-1, a female Autobot who had extremely limited screen time in the 1980s. The stay-at-home Shockwave also impresses as the show's most truly treacherous villain, outshining Megatron with his mono-eyed wickedness. But even the scenes starring these two are marred by sluggish voice-overs and combat that's more like toys being smashed into each other than the life-or-death efforts of sentient machines.
However, there's hope. Kingdom's toyline collision of Beast Wars characters (dinosaurs, gorillas, massive spiders) with G1 counterparts (cars, planes, cassette players) promises something genuinely new for this multifaceted franchise. And if the show makes good on all the potential for something wildly unprecedented, with minimal nods to the Beast Wars cartoon and IDW's successful merging of the two ostensibly opposed aesthetics, then Netflix's War for Cybertron trilogy will go out with a bang. I'm keeping my fingers and claws crossed for a little Energon, and a lot of luck.

Why Analytic Goals Should Drive Data Architecture Selection
When my kids were younger, the sheer volume of Legos scattered hazardously around the house demanded near-constant cleanup, which always included storing and organizing the bricks. For kids eager to speed through cleanup, organizing the bricks by color, rather than by type or by the kit they came in, would appear to be the optimal Lego storage strategy. But when playtime came back around, they learned the hard way that storing thousands of individual Legos by color made it nearly impossible to locate the bricks they needed in order to build functional structures.
In essence, my kids were making their Lego storage decisions based on what would be easiest up front instead of considering how it would affect their ability to retrieve the specific pieces they’d need later on. We often see similar tendencies when it comes to organizations and their data architecture preferences.
Early in an organization’s shift to more comprehensive data operations, we find that decision making revolves around architecture selection, with factors like user interface and the speed, risk, and cost of implementation at the forefront of conversation.
Architecture is indeed important to successful data operations, but it’s hardly the only thing an organization must consider after deciding to introduce, replace, or upgrade their systems. Too often, fixation on architecture selection comes at the expense of understanding why the architecture is important in the first place.
For example, we field lots of concerns about data’s mobility within a given architecture. With what speed and ease will the data get from Point A to Point B? Sure, it’s a good question to ask. But like my kids learned by storing their Legos by color rather than by type, perhaps the more important question is, what is going to be done with the data once it’s at Point B?
Understanding what limitations exist with a particular architecture is crucial to forecasting analytic capabilities down the road. An even better way to identify the right architecture, though, is to work backwards so that an organization’s goals dictate the architecture, rather than the other way around.
An example of this that we observe surrounds an organization’s decision to adopt a data lake as their primary storage solution. Depending upon longer-term objectives, a data lake may be the right choice. But what needs will be met with the introduction of a data lake? Why will business users benefit from this configuration? Failing to understand the answers to these questions early on leaves organizations vulnerable to inefficient decisions that are more likely to be reversed.
When mapping out an analytic strategy, we encourage IT departments to shift the focus of conversation from architectural configuration to broader analytic goals. This allows your goals to dictate the architecture you choose on the front end, rather than architecture dictating what can ultimately be done with the data.

By Timothy Cox
The city of St. Marys apparently has lost its lawsuit against Auglaize County and will be solely responsible for paying millions of dollars in environmental monitoring fees at the city landfill during the next 25 years.
City officials, however, haven't given up the fight yet.
Visiting Judge Charles Steele issued a judgment in the county's favor on Monday, ending a five-year legal fight over whether the city or county should pay the monitoring costs. The battle centered on a contract struck between the city and the county solid waste district in 1988 regarding operation of the St. Marys landfill, which was closed in June 1998.
The contract detailed how the entities would work together to run the landfill and who would pay certain costs. The contract ended Dec. 31, 2000, at which time the county stopped paying monitoring fees, arguing its obligation ended when the contract lapsed.
In his final ruling, Steele said both sides did not properly follow the terms of the contract. However, the city's failure to follow one of contract stipulations in the early days of the deal doomed its chances to recover financial damages, he said. "We're happy with the outcome," county Commissioner John Bergman said.
Bergman was hesitant to discuss other details of the case until commissioners hold a conference call with attorneys later today to discuss the judgment.
It could not be determined this morning if county officials will seek further court action to force the city to pays its legal bills for the case. Both sides spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on attorneys who are experts in solid waste issues.
Auglaize County has spent $421,740 to date; St. Marys officials estimated their costs to be at least $300,000 so far.
In addition to its huge legal bill, the city will now have to find a way to keep paying for the annual mandatory monitoring. The city has estimated those costs could be as high as $4.8 million through 2031. Costs have been running about $100,000 per year, Safety-Service Director Mike Weadock said.
The city's refuse collection department already has been strained by the costs of the landfill testing and pursuing the court case. To come up with adequate money to pay the monitoring fees, city officials might have to increase trash collection rates to city residents.
"There's no question there's been a lot of belt-tightening in that department to keep this thing going," Weadock said.
City officials only became aware of the issue this morning and still were planning their next move. Law Director Kraig Noble said Steele's ruling does not necessarily mean the case is closed.
The city has 30 days to file an appeal or file other motions with the court that could delay that deadline further, Noble said. Steele has favored the city's position on several issues, Noble noted, although the latest ruling seems to outweigh those prior issues.
"We are analyzing the case. There may be other events that take place," Noble said. "I don't think this is the end."
The complex litigation that has its own filing cabinet at the county Clerk of Courts office came down to the language in a 19-page contract inked in 1988.
In a partial judgment issue last year, Steele ruled that a paragraph of that agreement obligated the county to cover monitoring costs after closure of the landfill. However, in the latest, final ruling, Steele said the city's prior breach negated any obligation by the county to pay the costs.
Part of the contract also called for the city to conduct annual refuse collection studies and to set a rate that would earmark money for ongoing monitoring at the landfill. The county was to be on the hook only for any monitoring costs that exceeded the amount set aside by the city.
But the city apparently never did those rate studies or set any money aside.
At some point, for unknown reasons, the county's solid waste district began using $5 per ton surcharges on waste dumped at the St. Marys and Wapakoneta landfills to pay for monitoring at both sites.
"The court finds as a matter of law that the county's environmental monitoring obligations ... are dependent upon the city performing its obligations," Steele wrote in the filing. "If the city would have fully performed its contractual obligations, the obligations which the city now seeks to impose on the county would be minimal."
Because of the city's failure, it cannot recover any money from the county, Steele said.
"Such a substantial breach of the agreement precludes the city from recovering any amounts claimed to be owed to it," Steele wrote.

Sofia Bastidas will speak about her recent co-curatorial endeavor, Port to Port and her collective work with TVGOV (Television Government). (Source: CentralTrak Artists Residency & Gallery)
Bastidas is interested in engaging in a catalyzing debate about the role of contemporary art and questions of urbanism, public and environmental policy, and the seemingly inescapable systemic conflict that shapes urban development in the United States in relationship to the Global South. (Source: CentralTrak Artists Residency & Gallery)
Port to Port is a curatorial endeavor founded and organized by Sofia Bastidas and Guillermo Leon Gomez that facilitates multi- and interdisciplinary practices, creating networks between global port cities. Interested in the replication and isomorphic design of port cities, Port to Port creates a theoretical framework for participating artists, urbanists, social scientists, and designers. Many global cities have been built in Foreign Trade Zones, with standardized architecture, city planning, and infrastructure. Port cities serve both as economic and political gateways to the rest of the world. Port to Port hopes to overlap similarities between international port cities, to establish a network of multi- and interdisciplinary practitioners. (Source: CentralTrak Artists Residency & Gallery)
Television Government (TVGOV) is an independent research group organized by Nicole Doran (US), Peter Fend (US), Guillermo Gomez (US), Agustina Woodgate (ARG) and Sofia Bastidas (EC). TVGOV aims to direct government towards preservation of territory as land and sea by proposing an economic shift from an income tax – which favors consumption and resource waste – to an Eco-Tax, which charges for any land, water, and air depletion.

Wednesday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – While it’s a rare commodity for a band to tour as consistently as Slightly Stoopid, the group’s diligent commitment to live music provides some insight into why it’s been a few years since the release of their last studio album. On August 14, 2012, the Ocean Beach, California-based group—led by co-founders and multi-instrumentalists Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, dropped their latest studio effort, “Top of the World”. As heard throughout the disc, the layoff between albums has not affected the group’s penchant for cooking up the tasty fusion and massive groove that permeates Stoopid’s trademark sound.
“We’re a touring act, and we’ve been on the road pretty much non-stop over the last decade,” explains Doughty. The band has toured the globe and will arrive tonight in Rio for the very first time, as they stop over for one of three shows in Brazil, which also includes Belo Horizonte and Sao Paulo.
Slightly Stoopid (Lapa)
Slightly Stoopid is an American band based out of Ocean Beach, San Diego, California.
