A message to Boston Sports fans who have been spoiled the past two decades:
Get used to a rebuilding process and a lot of mediocrity for the next several years as this halcyonic period comes to an end.
Save for the Boston Celtics, the other professional teams in our region have difficult decisions to make as they transition into trying to build their next contending team.
In the first of a three-part series, I look at the Bruins, who were bounced in the second round of the NHL playoffs by the more talented Tampa Bay Lightning in five games. General Manager Don Sweeney will spend the next few months deciding if it is time to rebuild or push for another run at the Cup with the old gang. The operative word being old.
Latest Bruins News
- Zdeno Chara Retires From NHL
- NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins
- NHL Training Camp Preview: Bruins, Sabres Heading In Opposite Directions?
- NHL Rumors: Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings
- Bruins Re-Sign David Krejci To One-Year Deal Worth $1 Million
There are many questions facing the Bruins this offseason:
1. Does goaltender Tuukka Rask return, and if he does, how much confidence will his teammates have in Rask following him leaving the playoff bubble without a clear reason?
2. Will captain Zdeno Chara return for his 15th season in black and gold?
3. Will the organization open up the checkbook to retain unrestricted free agent defenseman, Torey Krug?
4. Will the team move on from its highest-paid player, David Krejci?
5. Is Jake DeBrusk a top-six forward or not?
The first question is nearly impossible to answer.
The second one, although an interesting talk radio topic is not as important as the first question. Chara is five months “older” than Tom Brady. A limited role, best described as player/coach, could work.
While the diminutive Krug is a marvelous power-play point man, he is a physical liability in his own end. Paying him $6-$7 million per year would be foolish.
Krejci is going into the final year of his contract. If you can move him, do so. But his age (35) impedes that possibility.
DeBrusk would be better served as a third-line winger as opposed to a top-six forward.
Let’s see what young forwards Anders Bjork (23), Ondrej Kase (24), Karson Kuhlman (24), and Jack Studnika (20) can do. Give more responsibility to young defensemen Charlie McAvoy (22) and Brandon Carlo (23). Fill in the gaps with solid veterans acquired via trade or free agency.
It may also be time to break up the “perfection” line, especially in the post-season. In the last two postseasons, the troika of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak has scored only 20 even-strength goals in 37 games. That’s not good.
Despite many accomplishments over the last 12 years, the Bruins have either underachieved in the postseason or have been vastly overrated by the local media and the Bruins fan base.
Since the 2008-09 season the Bruins have:
- Won A Stanley Cup
- Advanced To Three Stanley Cup Finals.
- Qualified For The Playoffs In 10-of-12 seasons.
While those accomplishments are commendable, the team has fallen short of a having a golden era because they:
- Blew a 3-0 series lead to the Flyers in the second round of the 2010 playoffs.
- Lost five Game 7’s. All on TD Garden ice.
Sweeney and upper management will have a short period of time in the off-season to decide whether to blow up or tweak the team or less likely, bring back the old gang.
The key is having a plan. Be firm but flexible. That seems pretty easy. Right.
Next, I will look at the present and future of the New England Patriots.

The World Council of Churches (WCC), which represents 345 member churches, including the Church of England, reviewed their ethical investment criteria and decided to remove fossil fuel companies. The WCC represents over half a billion Christians around the world. However, the group doesn’t include the Catholic Church.
The decision to divest from fossil fuel investments serves as a powerful message, especially coming from the religious community. However, it is unsure whether the decision will only be applicable to the council or its members as well. Regardless, the WCC is a large religious organization which has heeded the call for action against climate change.
In a statement, Bill McKibben founder of the climate change campaign group 350.org, hailed the decision of the WCC.
“The World Council of Churches reminds us that morality demands thinking as much about the future as about ourselves–and that there’s no threat to the future greater than the unchecked burning of fossil fuels. This is a remarkable moment for the 590 million Christians in its member denominations: a huge percentage of humanity says today ‘this far and no further”
According to 350.org, the WCC’s decision has come following a recent surge in religious institutions choosing to divest from fossil fuel investments. The Unitarian Universalist General Assembly in the United States chose to pull out a few weeks ago. Dayton University became the first Catholic institution to join the fossil fuel divestment campaign. In addition, the Church of Sweden has also decided to join the movement.
It’s a positive sign to see religious institutions choosing to join the fight against the fossil fuel industry. Hopefully, the decision extends to group members not simply the council. In time, we will see the effects of the WCC’s decision. Nevertheless, for the time being, their decision should be heralded as a step in the right direction.

|I do make sure Max gets his 10% organs every other day or so. He loves them best but they will cause soft poop. He gets them along with bony meat to be sure he doesn't have nasty poop. I fill in the rest of his meal with boneless red meat if it is smaller than he needs. The alternating days are boneless red meat. If the bony meat/organ/boneless meat meal wasn't bony enough I will give him a bit of bone on a normally boneless day, I keep chicken feet and heads for that. Small fatty fish work as well. Just this week a boneless meal still resulted in firm poop so he got 2 boneless meat meals in a row. Maybe he is getting shorted on organs but I am not going to worry about it. He loves organs so much I tend to overdo them anyway.
Max gets a mineral supplement, vitamin E, zinc and fish oil as supplements, partly because he is a senior getting less than 2% his body weight daily. If he ate vegetables he would be getting a mineral supplement, vitamin E, zinc and fish oil for supplements. Veggies bring nothing to the diet for him. Some dogs do need them as they do poorly with bone or need more stool firming than bone can provide. I haven't any problem letting him have some as a treat but do not regard them as essential parts of the diet. If you decide they are a must keep them to less than 20% of the diet and feed low calorie types.
Plan to feed through whole chickens for about a week. If poop is soft take off the skin or feed less. Don't proceed until you can feed all the skin however.
IF poop is good then start with another protein the following week by feeding a bit less chicken meat or skin and putting in just a bite of the new meat. Each day add another bite of the new meat and take away a bite of the chicken. If all goes well by the end of the week you will be feeding half bony chicken and half boneless new meat.
The next week feed bony chicken with just a bite of another meat. Each day substitute another bite of chicken with another bite of the next meat. By the end of the week you will be feeding half bony chicken and half the second meat.
Next, go for an organ. Chicken liver is probably better than pork or beef liver and easier to find than kidney. Figure what a daily portion of liver is for your dog. Max gets 1 ounce of organ a day so a daily portion of liver is .5 ounce. Cut your liver into daily bits, put on a cookie sheet and freeze. Pop them all off and bag save one. Take that one bit of liver and sliver it into about 10 slivers. Roll those slivers in a sheet of plastic wrap. Now feed ONE the first day. Then 2 the next and so on.
Repeat the organ intros for each organ and do try to feed at least 2 livers and 2 other organs.
After the dog has tried maybe 4-6 different meats and 4-6 different organs plus you are more relaxed about the whole thing you can just chuck new stuff and it will be fine. I didn't bother to feed an ounce of ostrich or llama to Max, he had tried half a dozen different meats and organs by that time.
No the diet isn't going to be complete until all the organs and meats are in it but it is fine to be short for a while.
A diet that is half bony chicken, half boneless red meat with a couple different organs is fine. Max doesn't much care to eat pork or lamb bones these days. In time you can feed less chicken and more red meat too. Max's chicken bone is very bony but in small amounts. He gets chicken ribs rather than whole breasts, backs rather than thighs so I can feed him more red meat.

Experiments Play Reading Series in 2021-2022 is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor and the New York State Legislature with additional support from the Howard Gilman Foundation, The John Golden Fund, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The Shubert Foundation.
Experiments Play Reading Series
For the 23rd season of La MaMa Experiments we will focus on theatrical works in progress addressing mental health issues. No one is more familiar with the need to create greater access to mental healthcare than our New York audience, who come face to face with this crisis on a daily basis. After 3 years of a global pandemic, all of us are feeling the upsurge of anxiety and depression, but these trends have been on the rise long before Covid-19. The works this season shed light on important, personal stories and deal with this subject matter in many different and unique ways. From tongue in cheek comedies to absurdist tragedies, Experiments hopes to create a season that will destigmaify, enlighten and, yes, even entertain.

Draw not away thy hands, my love,
With wind alone the branches move,
And though the leaves be scant above
The Autumn shall not shame us.

What is the worst of all the year
But life, and what can hurt us, dear,
Or death, and who shall blame us?

Dyneema Purity® SGX fiber: The first UHMWPE fiber designed for use in the human body
Dyneema Purity® fiber is a medical grade ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene fiber that’s ideal for devices or surgical systems requiring maximum strength and staying power. It’s the world’s strongest fiber — 15 times stronger than steel and 40% stronger than aramids on a weight-for-weight basis and three times stronger than polyester on a volume basis.
With a long and proven track record, this material has found its way to millions of patients in a broad range of medical devices used in the body temporarily or permanently.
From demanding suture designs to the most delicate procedures within joints, the SGX grade of Dyneema Purity® fiber has the high strength, flexibility and abrasion resistance needed to help improve patient outcomes.
Sutures made with this fiber can withstand the enormous stresses put on the material during arthroscopic procedures by knot-pushing devices. This strength helps to reduce the breakage commonly seen during rotator cuff repair surgery when polyester sutures are used.
- High strength and high modulus
- High pliability and softness
- Lower profile with equivalent strength
- Proven biocompatibility
- Cut resistant
- Low friction coefficient
- High strength orthopedic sutures: For soft tissue repair demanding strength yet low profile to help fast and reliable repair and patient comfort
- Small joint sutures: For repairing small joints – including extremities, elbows, and ankles – plus craniofacial procedures
- Arthroscopy: For reduced-profile devices that maintain the strength and functionality of larger devices
- Shoulder/rotator: For unparalleled strength and stability in the most innovative sports medicine devices, with low profiles to keep suture knots small
- Knee/ACL: For optimizing critical connections with less trauma to ligament and bone, including better graft fixation to the femur; for stronger meniscal replacement
- General Surgery: For use in various implantable textile structures like meshes where low profile, strength and softness are important requirements

Things I liked about 2010:
The Hills ended. TG For Life. No more fantastic plastic plots and faces to sit through. Longest 22 minutes of my life. Weekly.
Prince William proposed to Kate (Catherine) Middleton. I haven’t been this excited about something since rediscovering vampires.
The Vampire Diaries-Because, as I mentioned above, immortals are awesome and Damon Salvatore is SO. HOT.
The King’s Speech-In a year where great films are few and far between, this one is great. The relationship between King George VI and his speech therapist, Lionel Logue, was well-written and superbly acted. Colin Firth is sure to score Best Actor for this gem. It also doesn’t hurt that the story has to do with the British Royal Family. Just saying…
I Used To Be Fat-Finally! A reality show for teens that actually promotes something positive. Imagine that, MTV. Amidst drunk and vulgar leather bags and pregnant underachievers, the network decided to come with the teenage version of The Biggest Loser (except the contestants had to lose weight in the real world instead of a camp devoted solely to weight loss). It was refreshing to watch high school graduates work hard towards losing pounds before heading off to college. Well done, you svelte kids.
Things that were ehhhhhh not-so-much:
Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock with saucy Michelle McGee. Hey, at least he gave her a week to enjoy her Oscar win. Classy guy.
On that note, I wasn’t too pleased about Bullock’s win for The Blind Side. It was a generic story with a “meh” performance by Bullock. The award should have gone to Carey Mulligan for An Education.
Jersey Shore‘s second season in Miami-Reliving your college years vicariously through a show where the cast can’t collectively spell “college” isn’t really the best use of time. What else are you gonna do, right? We’ll watch until they all end up back at their parents’ houses after spending all that hard-earned money on hookers and St. Tropez spray tan. And tacky dresses from Bebe.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s continued popularity-Why are these two still a news item? Who cares about them anymore? She did a sh*tty thing five years ago and we’re still paying attention? This is a center for ants!
Bristol Palin on Dancing With The Stars-Not the fact that Palin made it to the finals. The very fact that she was on the show is disgraceful. Time to say nigh nigh to Dancing With Celebrities That No One Takes Seriously.
Sister Wives-Believe what you want to believe about plural marriages, just don’t air a reality show about it. Don’t show us one man’s relationship with four dumpy women and call it a partnership of equals. There’s no way this would fly if the roles were reversed. DOWNGRADE!
Jessica Simpson‘s engagement to Eric Johnson-They couldn’t have waited a few more months? The whole thing was very suspect, considering Simpson’s ex-husband, Nick Lachey, had just gotten engaged a few weeks earlier. Hmmmmmm. Not to mention the ring is totally fuggers.
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday break, and I hope to have you back here in 2011 for all sorts fodder from the peanut gallery, or as my mother likes to call me, “Another country heard from.”
Happy New Year!

Director Bobcat Goldthwait has reportedly already finished his latest feature film entitled Willow Creek, a found footage movie centering on Bigfoot.
Like most of his recent movies such as World's Greatest Dad and last year's God Bless America, there will be elements of satire thrown into this suspenseful drama that features characters who actually believe they have seen Bigfoot. Since these characters all have different accounts of their sightings, some even fight about whose version is correct. The project is said to be about, "exploring the idea of bearing witness," which he uses to make observations on faith and religion.
There are also cameo appearances from a few real-life sasquatch hunters, with a Bigfoot-themed song thrown in to boot. Part of the production was even staged on the Klamath River outside of Orleans, California, where the infamous "Patterson-Gimlin" Bigfoot film that was shot in 1967. Willow Creek was shot in sequence, over the course of just a few days. It isn't known if a distributor is attached as of yet. Stay tuned for the latest on this intriguing project.

Respooling August and September
Time to catch up with my blog. August was spent in the wilds of Sweden near Norrtaelje living the simple life with no tv and no internet – just woods and mushrooms and water and collecting seeds for the spring. September was mostly Indian summer which is still continuing. A short stay in hospital which I made into some R&R and even managed to collect a sack of fresh walnuts from the hospital grounds. And a farewell to our lovely dog, Reglisse, adopted black lab/husky who almost made it to 17 years of age. She is missed.
Couldn’t make it to Geneva for the Offshoots launch, but my contributer copy arrived and it is a fine anthology with a variety of pieces from international writers, as well as some great photography. And just check out those wonderful kudos on the back cover from Wallis Wilde Menozzi, Robert Stewart, Editor of New Letters, Thomas E. Kennedy, and Geeta Kothari, Fiction Editor of the Kenyon Review.
On the workshop front, a fun day with dental hygienists in Vienna and the secrets of communicating with English-speaking patients about all things teeth – my tooth fairy workshop. A big thanks to all participants for making last Saturday such fun. Last weekend was a blast with dear friends, one of whom I hadn’t seen in 25 years, coming to stay and enjoy the warm weather in Vienna. A trip to Schoenbrunn and a visit to the wonderful Christl’s in Stammersdorf rounded off a great menu.
On the writing front there were a couple of rejections, but also some good news with stories accepted for mobile publishing at Ether Books. So if you’ve got thingies like Iphones or Ipads, do download the Ether Books free app and pick up some short stories. Some are even free – one of mine and one of AstridL‘s. (Her story still tops the free bestseller list – I like the idea of something free being a bestseller 😉 – and with all the sad news around, it’s good that some sex still continues to sell.) My stories, “A Home is a Home” (free), “Necropix”, “An Imaginary Friend”, and “The Rules of the Game” (forthcoming) are all in the Ether Books stable. I’m also waiting to hear how another story fared in Australia. Decision will be 14 October. Fingers are crossed.
That’s all for now. If I’ve forgotten something, then it’ll have to be for next time. Got deadlines to meet now.

New Orleans police have issued an arrest warrant for a 12-year-old boy they described as armed and dangerous during a week of unrelated violence that left three people dead and several injured, including a mass shooting at a graduation party.
The authorities said Wardell Young, 12, who is wanted for attempted second-degree murder, was in the Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans on Thursday evening when they believe he was having an argument with a 17-year-old male.
The 17-year-old, who was shot repeatedly, was in stable condition on Friday, according to a statement from Hilal B. Williams, a spokeswoman for the New Orleans Police Department. The man has not been named.
Still unsure of Mr. Young’s whereabouts on Sunday, police were distributing a picture of him in khakis and with a slight smirk on his round face. The photo was posted on the department’s website.
Few other details about the shooting were available. But earlier this month, the police said, Mr. Young’s mother reported her son as a runaway.
The police were still investigating several deadly shootings in recent days. The New Orleans Coroner’s office has not released the names of the three people killed.
A 24-year-old man died on Wednesday after being shot on Milan Street, where he was found lying in a backyard, according to a statement from Garry G. Flot, a spokesman for the Police Department.
In an unrelated incident, the police on Friday arrested Jermal Holmes in the shooting death that morning of a 25-year-old woman at the Chateau d’Orleans apartment complex in New Orleans East. The police said Mr. Holmes, 27, shot the woman during a domestic dispute.
Mr. Holmes was later arrested at West Jefferson Hospital, according to a statement from the police. It was unclear why he was there.
The violence continued on Friday evening, when a shooting at a graduation party left a 15-year-old boy dead and seven others injured, according to a statement from the New Orleans police.
They said the shooting occurred after an argument erupted around 11:20 p.m. outside a home on Eads Street in the Gentilly section of the city.
The 15-year-old died at the hospital, the police said. Three others, men in their mid-20s, had non-life-threatening injuries. Four women, ages 19 to 30, were also injured. One had to have surgery, but the others’ wounds were considered non-life-threatening.

(CN) – A federal judge strengthened her previous order that blocked sales of copycat wireless and networking products, and this time froze the alleged counterfeiter’s real estate assets.
Ubiquiti Networks, a San Jose, Calif.-based company, sells some if its products under the Airos and AirMax registered trademarks. Its complaint alleges Kozumi USA used a former Ubiquity employee to obtain blueprints and reproduce the devices.
Kozumi allegedly sold so many counterfeit devices that it affected Ubiquiti stock prices.
Chinese police put an end to the manufacturing by raiding Kozumi’s factory, but Ubiquiti says Kozumi is still selling its stock.
The case is also being tried in an Argentinean court where Ubiquiti says defendants Shao Wei Hsu and his wife Lilia Kung intend to obtain a large portion of the market.
In June, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken granted Ubiquiti Networks a temporary restraining order preventing Kozumi from selling counterfeit Ubiquity products it was manufacturing at a facility in Hong Kong.
That order all declined to freeze the company’s assets because such remedy would be “too harsh” and could be harmful to the business of individual defendant William Hsu Wu, who is apparently misidentified in the complaint as Shao Wei Hsu.
Last week, however, Wilken rejected claims that Ubiquiti failed to connect his activities to the company’s $6 million losses.
“Even if Ubiquiti did not allege a loss of money as a result of defendants’ alleged counterfeiting, an injunction would be appropriate because ‘injunctive relief is the remedy of choice for trademark and unfair competition cases, since there is no adequate remedy at law for the injury caused by a defendant’s continuing infringement,” Wilken wrote.
“Here, Ubiquiti submits proof that, on May 25, 2012, one week after it filed its lawsuit against defendants, Mr. Wu executed quitclaim deeds for four of his properties to Angela Kung, a resident of Brazil, and a quitclaim deed for one of his properties to Cheng Hung Chen, a resident of Taiwan,” Wilken wrote. “Ubiquiti also submits a document indicating that the market value of one of the properties is over $364,000. However, the quitclaim deed indicates that Mr. Wu sold this property to Angela Kung for $10.”
The preliminary injunction carries the same terms as the temporary restraining order, but goes a step further by freezing all of Kozumi’s real estate assets located in the United States.
“Ubiquiti submits emails from its distributors and articles from the financial press to show that defendants’ alleged counterfeiting and infringing acts are damaging Ubiquiti’s reputation with its distributors and customers and in the financial markets in general,” Wilken wrote. “This evidence more than satisfies Ubiquiti’s burden to show that irreparable injury is likely in the absence of an injunction.”

I’m wondering why some people struggle with weight gain of 30+ lbs and some only gain 10-20 lbs. I’m in the 20# group and my mom was a big eater who never went on a diet and is thin. I wonder if that somewhat weight proofs a person. My sister never dieted like I did and stayed slim while being able to eat pizza or cake when she wants. I on the other hand bought into the gym and diet mentality and here I am paying the prize. I used to read about indigenous people who were lean and became fat on a western diet. I wonder if they were in a calorie restricted state in their original environment and had low metabolic rates to begin with. And the blame on rich western food is misinformation??
I found this great article by a clinical psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. He is a great resource to back up Matt’s claims. I don’t really need back up though, since my experiences show that he is right on. http://feast-ed.org/Portals/0/Documents/Articles%20for%20FEAST/Dangers%20of%20Dieting%20a%20Body%20Adapted%20to%20Famine%20-%20Shan%20Guisinger.pdf

My first Fallout game was Fallout 3 GOTY, followed by Fallout: New Vegas at release, then Fallout 4 at release, and most recently Fallout 2.
I really enjoyed Fallout 3, mods certainly helped but on its own it was a decent game. At the time I didn't have many complaints about it as it was my first Fallout game so I didn't have any previously set expectations about what it would or should be like. My only complaints would have been that the gunplay was pretty rubbish (no aiming down sights!), "it had a few bugs", and the physics systems were janky. I also think the main quest was underwhelming, although it did have its moments it wasn't really anything to write home about.
Fallout: New Vegas
I bought Fallout: New Vegas on release and really, really enjoyed it. To me it made a lot of good additions to Fallout 3, not least the weapon modding, aim-down-sight, increased amount of skill-checks, a bigger focus on alternative quest solutions, town reputation, and the increased focus on choice-consequence RPG mechanics generally. The addition of hardcore mode was also right up my alley. It's still hands down my favourite Fallout game. You could definitely place me in the camp of people that hoped Bethesda would use New Vegas's design philosophy as a model to improve upon for Fallout 4.
Moreover, I just simply enjoyed the world of New Vegas far more than that of Fallout 3. To me the Mojave was just far more interesting than Washington DC. Both the Mojave and Washington DC were fun to explore. They each had a different unique vibe, and they played on their strengths. Both games have lots of fun little interesting locations that really help build the world and immerse you as a player. But the reason I enjoy New Vegas more is that the lore is just so much richer and more interesting. That is entirely due to the numerous, well thought out and well implemented factions in the game. Caesar's Legion, the NCR, Mr House, heck even the Boomers, Fiends and the Great Khans are simply far more interesting and memorable than any of the Factions in Fallout 3. The main quest only benefits from having the Factions involved on the periphary in the beginning and more directly as it goes on. The game also had very good pacing by directing the player around the map with quests (but retaining freedom to just go wherever you wanted if you chose that).
I think Fallout 4 made great strides in terms of gunplay, weapon-modding, armour, etc. I really liked Survival mode and I'm glad that was implemented, however personally I would've appreciated an option to disable Legendary Weapon effects (particularly those that are essentially magic). I also thought that enemy health scaling and the general progression of weapon damage was not only unrealistic but poorly balanced – particularly at later levels. At level 60+ it's not really viable to try and kill those Radscorpions in the Glowing Sea with anything except a Gatling Laser or a Fat Man. It went in the wrong direction in terms of skills, skill-checks, dialogue and player choice for resolving quests by alternative means.
I think the voiced protagonist was also a mis-step. It took steps in the right direction with regards to the Factions compared to Fallout 3 but didn't go far enough in developing them to the same extent that New Vegas did. The settlement building was a fun gimmick but ultimately a distraction that could've been far better designed and implemented to tie into the Faction system. The main quest was okay, but the pacing was pretty horrible and the game could've done a much better job in naturally leading the player around the map from one objective to the next. Of course the subject of the storyline wasn't conducive to good pacing or urgency given the context of the open-ended nature of an open-world game where you can ignore things. What Fallout 4 really needed to promote urgency was the world changing/adapting around you if you were too slow as a player. The settlement system could've been expanded upon to have some interaction in that way – but alas. Ultimately a good game, and one I still play – but for very different reasons than the other games.
That brings me to Fallout 2, which I recently bought – mostly on a whim. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I've played a few cRPGs before this (Divinity Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity, and, notably, Wasteland 2) and Fallout 2 is definitely competitive considering its age. It's not particularly well balanced (there are a lot of useless skills, bad perks, etc.), but the characters are so interesting and the world is very rich (plus the voice acting, although sparse, is pretty great – that Enclave Soldier is hilarious). I haven't yet finished the game so please no spoilers (I only just arrived at New Reno after visiting Vault City, Gecko and Broken Hills), but definitely plan to play this one through to the end. Also you get a car! It'd be nice in the next Fallout game to have some more vehicles (proper caravans, biker gangs, cars, etc. and combat involving them would be amazing, but would likely require a new physics and animation system).
Cheers for reading.

In dense urban environments, GPS is highly inaccurate as satellite signals are often blocked or reflected by high-rise buildings (urban canyons). This poses a critical challenge for vehicle-to-vehNexar announced a scalable method that improves GPS location accuracy in urban areasicle (v2v) safety applications.
In this line, the mobility company, Nexar has announced a scalable method that greatly improves GPS location accuracy in urban areas. Nexar’s new AI-powered image retrieval algorithm claims to dramatically improve localization in cities, solving a problem that has long-plagued both rideshare operators and navigation apps, as well as autonomous vehicle manufacturers.
As a benchmark to evaluate this new visual localization approach, the company is also releasing a dataset and benchmark based on anonymized dash cam and GPS information from its connected vehicle network to advance the research of visual localization for safety applications.
Nexar’s research of crowd-sourced data of over 250,000 driving hours in New York City found that at least 40% of rides suffered GPS errors of 10 meters or more due to the urban canyon effect. Nexar’s method for localization is based on its continuously growing database of fresh road imagery observed by its network.
Technically speaking, to solve for the failings of satellite GPS, Nexar has developed a hybrid coarse-to-fine approach that leverages visual and GPS location cues. The company has trained a deep learning model to identify a driver’s accurate location using its massive archive of anonymized images. The archive includes billions of these images from more than 400 million miles driven on the Nexar network.
According to Nexar, its experiments confirm that this localization approach is highly effective in challenging urban environments, reducing the distribution of localization errors by an order of magnitude. This method will be used to deliver alerts to Nexar users, including dangerous intersections and collisions on the road ahead.

Seattle- Last year, at least 33 Washington State Patrol (WSP) vehicles were hit by distracted drivers while troopers were either at construction zones, or conducting traffic stops, or clearing a collision. Already by June 6 of 2016, 11 WSP vehicles were struck while troopers were stopped on the side of the road, with emergency lights activated. The numbers are on the rise. In 2014, 25 drivers ran into patrol vehicles.
It happened to King County District 2 Trooper Mallory Reynolds. Last December, Trooper Reynolds had her emergency lights activated while stopped on the right shoulder of I-5 south near the West Seattle Bridge. She was completing the impound of an abandoned car when a distracted driver rammed into her patrol vehicle with her still inside. “It caused a big jolt. The sudden impact caught me by surprise,” said Trooper Reynolds. “It is not worth it to drive distracted when the risks jeopardize everyone’s safety,” says Trooper Reynolds.
The for-hire car driver was also traveling south I-5 in the right lane when he entered the shoulder and collided with the Trooper’s patrol vehicle.
The distracted driver was traveling at least 30 mph on impact and if he was going any faster Trooper Reynolds says, “He most likely would have struck the tow truck driver who was hooking up the impounded car.”
The force of the impact injured Trooper Reynold’s back and caused the patrol vehicle to be in the shop and off the road for two full months.
Patrolling the roadways of King County, Trooper Reynolds has seen plenty of distracted drivers,” Talking on their phones, texting, taking pictures or entering coordinates into their GPS units, all of these activities take driver’s attention away from the roadways.” Studies show that driving is a complicated task that requires the driver’s full attention.
Drivers need to pay particular attention to the road while in work zone. Since the summer construction season is in full swing, many drivers across Washington State are traveling through WSDOT work zones on a daily basis.
We have an average of 916 work zone injuries on state roads each year. Many times, it’s not the workers that are most at risk. Drivers, passenger or passing pedestrians make up 96 percent of people hurt in work zone crashes in Washington.
There are devices that help to keep the traveling public and workers safe in work zones. Truck-mounted attenuators, or accordion-like devices on the back of trucks, are designed to crumple together and absorb energy from a crash. They act like a shield between traffic and workers. One is hit every six to eight weeks.
“Drivers can do their part too by slowing down and staying focused on the road at all times for the safety of our workers and for themselves and their fellow travelers,” said Justin Fujioka of WSDOT.
This month one of the largest construction projects, known as the #SouthKingSlowdown, will reduce southbound Interstate 5 to just two lanes between SeaTac and the Duwamish River Bridge for the next four weekends while contractor crews complete critical road repair work.
Many work zones, including the #SouthKingSlowdown, change the way a highway looks, feels and drives. Following posted speed limits and paying attention to the changes ahead will help keep both drivers and the work crews safe.
Washington State Patrol Troopers will be out patrolling to ensure drivers are following the traffic laws.

The true story of Santa Claus
“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care;
In hopes that Who would be there”?
St. Nicholas, but shouldn’t it read Santa Claus? Why? And who is this St. Nicholas?
With a little research we find that St. Nicholas may have been at the Council of Nicea in 325AD, which was convened by Constantine. There are many stories of St. Nicholas presenting gifts to the needy. The most famous is the three bags of gold tossed for the dowries for three young ladies. The last bag of gold may have landed in the stockings hung on a chair near the fireplace. Is that why we hang stockings on the fireplace mantel? Anyway, St. Nicholas died December 6, 343AD but he became a favorite saint to many countries and gift giving in his name continued. OK, so there was reason for the poem to contain his name.
So how did we get Santa Claus from St. Nicholas? One theory is that the Dutch settlers brought the St. Nicholas transition to America. The children in their excited voices would talk about the coming of SinterKlass, which became Santa Claus to the American Kids. SinterKlass wore a bishop’s robe and rode on a white donkey. In 1809, Washington Irving published Knickerbocker’s History of New York, which described Santa as an old man in dark robes on a flying horse. A poem in 1821 called “The Children’s Friend” the horse was changed to a reindeer. Clement Moore in 1823 dashed off a Christmas poem for his children. It was later printed in a newspaper and became a sensation. A Visit from St. Nicholas –“Twas the night before Christmas.” Clement Moore switched Santa’s appearance from December sixth to the night of December 24. An 1870 cartoon by Thomas Nast illustrated Santa Claus in the Harper’s Weekly as we now envision him.
Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun and asked if there really was a Santa Claus, and the editors answered with a resounding “Yes” in an editorial that is still reprinted in Christmas Eve newspapers around the country.
I’ll always be fond of the Santa who is round and red-suited, full of fun and plenty of ho-ho-ho. I love this friendly monk-like Santa and I look at this old codger with the appreciative eyes of a proud grandfather. We may have given Saint Nicholas a secular makeover, dressed him up in a bright red suit, yet, the gifts he brings down the chimney to good children still echo God’s gift to us all, His only Son, Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we pass on to you the blessing of this Christmas season.
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!”
James L. Radtke


With 7 unique characteristics, Poriot leads the blockchain 3.0 public chain innovation
The public chain, which is the underlying support for the application value of the blockchain, is the key factor that determines the development of the blockchain industry. It exists just like the iOS and Android systems in mobile phones, used to expand performance or provide service support for commercial applications. Only with the support of the public chain can the commercial application of the blockchain be truly implemented and developed.
As a typical public chain of Blockchain 3.0, Poriot has an original POR consensus mechanism and cross-chain technology, which can meet the needs of DApp carrying and interoperability in the current complex scenarios. Specifically, Poriot has 7 major technical characteristics:
(1) TPS exceeds 20,000 times per second
Blocks mainly store transaction data. Except for the block header, the maximum capacity of a single block body is BCmax (currently set to 100MB), and 1 block is generated every interval of 1 time period Tb (Tb is currently set to 5 seconds ), the number of bytes in a single transaction submitted cannot exceed Bmax (Bmax is set to 1KB), and each block can be placed in at least BCmax/Bmax = 100,000 transactions, and the lower limit of TPS = 100,000 times/5 seconds = 20,000 times /Sec. According to the 2/8 principle, the average TPS can be taken as 20,000 times/sec*4 = 80,000 times/sec.
(2) Second-level service delay
The maximum data volume of a single transaction transaction is 1KB, which supports users to directly perform transfer transactions and business transactions based on the original Poriot chain. The second level confirmation (currently set to 5 seconds, can be expanded to within 1 second), without relying on other PoW public chains. Delay (for example, the minimum delay of a single transaction of BTC requires 10 minutes) to confirm.
(3) Micro-u level ultra-low gas fee
Due to the use of 100MB large blocks (up to 100MB/1KB = 100,000 transactions can be placed), one checkpoint is set every N blocks (N>=50) and the checkpoint data is submitted to the public chain with high consensus ( The current setting is Ethereum), and its gas consumption is 1/(50*100,000) = 1/500 million of Ethereum. Based on the current average gas fee of each transaction of Ethereum, 20Usdt, Poriot’s gas fee = 20USDT/5 million = 0.000004Usdt = 4 micro usdt.
(4) Double security guarantee, which is higher than that of traditional public chains.
The Poriot chain itself adopts a pledge-based PoS mechanism and consensus algorithm, and through the development of IoT mining machine standards
Quasi-strengthen security protection, and the security level is higher than that of similar public chains; at the same time, the Poriot chain sets a checkpoint every N blocks (N>=50), and the Merkle root of N block headers and 51% or more of the accounting node The Hash with continuous signatures and bit concatenation of the previous field is written into a public chain with high consensus and support for smart contracts to ensure the security of transactions (currently adopting Ethereum); to achieve the ultimate consistency of business data and the double protection of non-tampering.
(5) Connect multiple public chains through the pipeline mechanism
Using multiple cross-chain mechanisms to couple with multiple public chains can seamlessly connect Poriot with existing and future rich blockchains. Poriot enables applications and token transactions to be seamlessly switched and flowed between Poriot and other public chains.
(6) The original POR mechanism provides resource carrying capacity for massive enterprise-level DApps
Through POR, the weight of computing resources, storage resources, network resources, Internet of Things resources, and data resources are integrated. Based on the concept of “I am for everyone, everyone is for me”, a decentralized P2P public chain network structure is constructed to support DApp The method provides easy-scalable and high-TPS resource support for the bearer of massive enterprise-level large-scale Web3 applications.
(7) Introduce the Internet of Things and data resources for the first time to create a blockchain + Internet of Things ecosystem
Mankind has entered the era of the Internet of Everything. There are more than tens of billions of Internet of Things devices all over the world. The Internet of Things has been widely used in industrial interconnection, logistics, supply chain, environmental monitoring, urban management, traceability, scientific and technological exploration and other fields. Through Internet of Things perception, big data analysis and mining, AI control and other technologies, humans continue to explore and use orderly laws in the chaotic universe; the blockchain is inherently a decentralized P2P architecture, which is a pair with the Internet of Things. The twin brothers, based on the Internet of Things resources and their perceived data, rely on the Poriot network and the rich DApps carried on it to perform calculation analysis, data storage, and network circulation, and use ZK to provide incentives based on their contributions, so that the Poriot ecosystem continues to circulate. Provide technology source power for mankind to explore the unknown.

What are the main arguments for setting up a business in Hungary?
- Low Tax Rates: Hungary has a favorable tax system, it has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the European Union, ranging from 9% to 19%, and the personal income tax of private individuals is 15%. This makes HU an attractive location for companies looking to maximize their profits.
- Strategic Location: Hungary is located at the crossroads of Europe, making it an ideal location for companies looking to take advantage of the continent’s diverse markets. It has a well-developed infrastructure, good transportation links to other European countries, including a well-connected highway system, multiple airports, and a major port on the Danube River. From Budapest, you can get to London in 2.5 hours, Dubai in 5 hours and Munich in 1 hour by plane.
- Digitalization: The government is obliged to communicate with you digital only; so are you.
- Low Labor Costs: Labor costs in Hungary are much lower than in other European countries, making it a cost-effective option for companies looking to minimize overhead expenses.

- Strong Government Support: The Hungarian government is very supportive of foreign investment, offering incentives and tax breaks to companies that choose to establish operations in the country.

- Register the Company: Register the company with the local court and obtain a business registration number.

Shirley Ayorkor Botchway with Dominic Quaye and some dignitaries at the clinic after the inauguration
THE MEMBER of Parliament (MP) for Anyaa-Sowutuom in Accra, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway , has inaugurated a new clinic at a cost of GHâ‚µ80,000, in the Ga Central Municipality.
The clinic, which is the first public health facility in the Sowutuom area, was funded through the MP’s National Health Insurance Fund with support from the Municipal Assembly and the Ghana Health Service.
Speaking at the opening, Ms Botchway said the country is still lagging behind in attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on maternal and infant mortality, hence, the need to construct adequate health facilities to enable citizens to have swift access to a healthcare centre during emergencies to help reduce the rate at which women and children die at birth.
She also called for benevolent organisations to also contribute their quota to supplementing equipment at the clinic.
The MP indicated that efforts have also been directed at transforming education and social infrastructure sectors in the locality, but until government moves to establish a major hospital in the area, the clinic would be apt in addressing some health challenges of the community.
‘Infant mortality rate is still high. Death rates can only be reduced through regular checks for babies and mothers, hence a unit has been a set aside to address such needs,’ she said.
Dominic Amarh Quaye, the Municipal Director of Health Services, said the assembly would bear the initial operation cost of the facility until it is fully fledged to generate and manage its revenue.
‘In terms of equipment, we have been able to procure some medical equipment and office furniture with the fund the Member of Parliament have secured. They include electronic beds, mattresses, bed sheets and crutches,’ he mentioned.
Expressing gratitude to the representative for her efforts, he tasked officers at the centre to maintain the equipment and also show commitment in performing their duties.
He also acknowledged the electoral member for the area, Alhaji Abdalah Shuaib, for his efforts towards the construction.
Aristos Aryee, MCE, Ga Central, described the facility as one which has brought great relief to residents of Sowutuom as they would no longer suffer the burden of plying long routes to seek treatment.

Saint Patrick was an early Christian missionary and is the primary patron saint of Ireland. He is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland and was probably partly responsible for the Christianization of the Picts and Anglo-Saxons.
Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years since his time. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast-on food like Irish bacon and cabbage.

I think puzzle games are best when they build up a narrative through design. As you overcome each challenge, you are rewarded with unlocking more pieces to a larger cinematic puzzle. It’s because of this that I felt compelled to play through the Pathea Games-developed Ever Forward. Thankfully, I discovered a genuinely unique adventure as I traveled deeper down the rabbit hole of this mysterious world.
Ever Forward slowly rolls out its narrative between puzzle and adventure segments. The story follows a girl named Maya as she finds herself, biting off a little more than she can chew. The world is in a state of unrest as a pandemic threatens humanity and forces everyone to stay indoors. However, Maya discovers that she is stuck between reality and a dream world as she assists her mom with finding a cure.
There’s definitely more to unpack here, but I’d hate to spoil it. What’s important is how the developers make it easy to care about Maya’s journey, as well as her relationship with her mom. Throughout the game’s rather short runtime, I found myself emotionally invested in these character’s lives. Once all the pieces fall in place, the trials you had to go through, make the conclusion well worth it.
Adventure segments have players take control of Maya and roam around a sort of HUB world where she can gain access to new levels. I appreciated the amount of detail that went into this world’s design, as it was effortless to navigate even without a map. Still, there’s not too much to do here outside of a few ways to interact with the world. I would have like exploration to be rewarded a little more so that there is something to do aside from puzzles.
When going into a level, the world completely changes, and Maya is taken to a distorted reality. She can fly around using her robot friend, where she can begin new puzzles. Each puzzle builds on itself by adding new elements and become more difficult the further you get in the game.
It’s not explicitly explained why Maya even has to do these puzzles from the get-go, but I didn’t mind that. After each level, more about Maya and her mom are revealed until you get a better understanding of what’s going on. It works as a means of story delivery, and there are a few twists thrown in that keep the narrative elements fresh.
The puzzle designs themselves are actually enjoyable. Sure, I had to stop sometimes and analyze what to do, but I was never totally stumped. Your own skills mirror the scale of puzzle difficulty, but after the developers teach you a new trick, they will find ways to test you.
Ever Forward has a few cool features that make the game more accessible. For one, you can save and load anywhere you’d like. This means that you can progress through a puzzle and save, so if you die, you aren’t thrown back to the beginning. There are also a few checkpoints in the longer puzzles in case you forget. Furthermore, players can skip puzzles to return to them later and not actually feel too rushed to get through them. There’s no time limit or pushy notifications to make you feel like you’re doing something wrong, but the game does offer hints in case you get stuck.
The overall design is charming. There’s a distinct difference in design depending on which environment you’re in. This makes the game feel more immersive and adds to the mystery. Maya’s design is also well made as her hair and dress flow with the player’s actions. One great feature is that each character is voiced, and the music tends to set the atmosphere for the adventure.
Ever Forward is a little on the short side, taking me around 3 hours to complete the main story. However, I didn’t feel like I wanted much more after I beat it. That’s not to say I wasn’t emotionally invested because I was, but I felt the pacing was well-timed to tell the story that the developers wanted to tell. However, the localization does come off a bit stale during some dialogue, and I felt that the team could have taken a few more liberties with the English text.
Ever Forward is a captivating and emotionally charged puzzle adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome with puzzle difficulty as it naturally evolves across each level. Following Maya through this mysterious world was made easy thanks to the environment designs, pacing, and overall accessibility. Aside from some stale story translations, Ever Forward is a great way to spend an evening.

Must infuse funds in Air India to keep airfares down: Chidambaram
"As far as AI is concerned there is a turnaround plan. I am not happy with the way the plan has been implemented in the past. There has been several setbacks. But what do we do with AI? If I do not provide this Rs 2,000 crore there will be greater difficulty," he said winding up a discussion on the supplementary demands for grants.
Of the additional expenditure Rs 32,120 crore under the first batch of supplementary, Rs 2,000 crore has been earmarked for equity infusion in Air India as part of the turnaround plan and restructuring package.
"If AI is not kept afloat, what will happen is airfares will go up, other airline companies will simply push up their air fares because so many seats will not be available. Which is why we are providing Rs 2,000 crore to AI," Chidambaram said.
The Minister said there were some indications of an uptick in Air India in the last quarter and hoped that AI employees and management will also assist in turning it around.
The national carrier's losses have been mounting from Rs 5,548.26 crore in 2008-09, Rs 5,552.44 crore in 2009-10, Rs 6,865.17 crore in 2010-11 to Rs 7,853 crore in 2011-12.

Friday November 21, 2014 – The Port Moresby Sewerage System Upgrade Project Team conducted a pre-bid meeting for interested bidders in Port Moresby this week. The two-day meeting was followed by a tour of existing pump stations, Morata Sewerage Pond and Sewerage Treatment Plant Site at Kilakila.
The meeting was an opportunity for bidders seeking clarification on bid documents and to see for themselves what they would be dealing with under the construction phase of the project. Bid documents were released to interested bidders after tender for construction works for the project was advertised in the local dailies last month.
POMSSUP Project Director Craig Mecklem made a power point presentation and gave a project overview. The presentation covered works for the project comprising the following components; construction of Sewer Network, 13 Pumping Stations, Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), procurement of vehicles for the operation and maintenance of sewerage system and executing social and environmental programme.
“Pump station requirements must be addressed both in design and construction,” said Mr Mecklem.
He said the principle contractor should consider important items ranging from a permanent Pump Station access road for service vehicles to relocation of an existing service for example transformer and power pole which need to be executed in compliance with PNG Power guidelines and other appropriate authorities.
Other issues covered were contractor’s tax requirements, business registration with the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) and workers safety and safety rescue methods.
More than 15 participants among representatives from Eda Ranu, JICA and the Independent Public Business Corporation attended the pre-bid meeting, which is part of the bidding process for a potential contractor to carry out upgrade work for the sewerage project.
