Nintendo have opened 2015 strong with their latest Nintendo Direct video, with a couple of huge announcements that are sure to be of interest to long-time fans and those considering whether or not to buy into the Nintendo family with the Wii U or New 3DS. Read on for the highlights of the show.
Those on the fence about whether to buy the New 3DS or not now at least have a date to pin their deliberations to: for Europeans, the New 3DS (which allows for changeable nameplates) and New 3DS XL will be released on the 13th February, with South Africa’s official Nintendo account announcing the same in their Twitter feed. North America, on the other hand, is only getting the New 3DS XL model, which has caused some consternation and just a little bit of huffing and puffing from Americans. For those unaware of some of the technical details of the New 3DS, you can check this handy article.
They also come in bundle flavours: one that’s themed around the 3DS remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and one for Monster Hunter 4.
A massive reveal is the new Fire Emblem game, currently titled Fire Emblem If in Japan. Fire Emblem: Awakening is widely considered one of the best titles on the 3DS, and a follow-up has been eagerly anticipated. Fire Emblem If seems to have a distinctly Asian theme based on the footage shown so far at odds with the Fire Emblem‘s traditionally European medieval stylings.
Puzzle & Dragons Z & Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros Edition will be coming out in May as a bundle pack. The coloured gem matching game mixing RPG elements ala Puzzle Quest has proven highly popular in Japan and Asia, so those interested in another go at that genre could do worst.
In a similar vein, a free-to-play colour-matching game for Pokemon is coming to the 3DS store entitled Pokemon Shuffle. This is a foray into that wonderful world of time-limited gameplay, with players having to wait to battle after expending a certain number of hearts unless they use certain in-game items or purchasing more hearts via the Nintendo eShop store. Welcome to 2015, Nintendo. Where have you been?
There was also some news about one of my highly anticipated titles, Splatoon. Releasing in May, Nintendo showed off the multiplayer hub where players can interact with others and customise their Inklings with unique apparel that conveys certain buffs and abilities. In addition, they discussed the weapon loadout system, which will allow players to select a primary, secondary and chargeable weapon that — when combined with your equipment — is likely going to result in a variety of playstyles.
Nintendo have also announced that they will be bringing selected Wii titles to the Wii U eShop for download. Currently, using a Wii disc requires a switch to the Wii Mode. Wii software bought from the Wii U eShop will launch directly. The first titles to be made available are Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Punch Out!! and Donkey Kong Country Returns. The titles will be available for half-price during their first week, so if you’re interested best check it out.
Amiibos, Nintendo’s money-printing enterprise, saw a ton of news: a couple of re-releases and redesigns of existing figures in different stances, in addition to a new group of Amiibo including Ness, Robin, Pac-Man, Lucina, Charizard and Wario. A Toad Amiibo will be available and compatible with Captain Toad. Mario Party 10 got a release date as well as news of an accompanying Amiibo bundle. Check out all the details below.
Tekken creator Katsuhiro Harada has announced a free-to-play four-player Project Treasure where players will navigate deadly traps in search of treasure. And while there are few details for the announced Mario vs Donkey Kong title, it is Nintendo’s first cross-buy title, meaning that cross-buy may be an option for future titles going forward.
Overall, it’s a solid showing for Nintendo at the start of the new year. Those interested in can watch the full presentation in the source link below.

A while ago I had a discussion with someone about the speed of an object when it hits the ground. When does an object hit the ground faster:
- When you launch the object to the sky so it can fall down;
- Or when you launch the object to the ground so it doesn't have to deal with much air resistance.
The attraction “The Booster” has an arm that has a constant speed (about 120 km/h) is about 80M high and undergoes full revolutions.
In this situation the cart gets disattached at 90 degrees.
I think that the cart hits the ground with a higher speed when it's launched to the ground because of:
- The air resistance, when you launch it to the sky it has a longer path to travel, so it needs to travel through much more air.
- The cart has the same initial speed, when you travel a shorter path there will be less to slow the cart down;
- Nothing provides the cart with additional energy;
- I guess that the "final gravity" is the same.

Faster knowledge transfer, access to state-of-the-art research facilities, and cross continental exchanges for students and staff – that´s what Kiel University and the University of Minnesota most recently agreed on when signing a memorandum of understanding.
Kiel University and the University of Minnesota (UMN) formalized their collaborative relationship. On November 1, 2022, Prof. Dr. Eckhard Quandt Vice President for Research, Transfer, Scientific Infrastructure, and Digitalisation at Kiel University and Shashank Priya, Vice President for Research at the University of Minnesota (VPR) signed a memorandum of understanding. This agreement opens the door for faculty and student exchanges, joint activities, including conferences and symposia, and will facilitate knowledge transfer at a faster level.
“Extending our international network by such a strong US based partner contributes to our strategic goal to become an international network university“, said Eckhard Quandt. Scientists will be presented the opportunity to closely collaborate with their fellow experts from one of the leading universities in the US. Students will be able to gain international experience and extend their knowledge while studying abroad. “This collaboration impacts positively our profile of being a major research facility in Schleswig-Holstein and Germany. Hence, we are more than delighted to form and further grow this partnership with the UMN,” emphasized Quandt.
Furthermore the partners agreed to advance their dialogue on collaborative research and educational initiatives, and the development of joint research and education proposals. “We are excited to move forward with this agreement and to leverage our joint academic strengths in areas such as neuromorphic computation and solid state brain imagery, in which Kiel University is a field leader,” VPR Priya said at the signing ceremony. “Having visited Kiel University, I know that it is a scientific leader in Germany, Europe, and the world.”
This relationship with Kiel University will be especially beneficial as UMN develops the International Institute for Biosensing, which will focus on an area of rapidly growing interest across the globe as people increasingly monitor for harmful chemicals and biological agents in their environment. Priya hopes that UMN researchers will be able to visit and leverage research being conducted at Kiel University’s state-of-the-art biomagnetic sensing and neurotronics collaborative research centers.
Located on the northern coast of Germany, Kiel University, which dates back to 1665, has four priority research areas: marine science; life science; societal, environment, and cultural change; and nano, surface, and interface science. Kiel University uses responsible actions to make sure that scientific discoveries are transferred into all sectors of society by interdisciplinary thought.
“We are glad to offer new avenues and welcome new opportunities availed by our colleagues at Kiel University,” said Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Education Scott Lanyon, UMN. “Specifically, for our students, we know that agreements and collaborations like this provide incredible education benefits for a globally connected world; that student exposure to innovative research in their domain increases their awareness and ability to interact with their future career; and that student exchanges build networks of professionals.”

Option of booking an extra night in Burgos, with an extra transfer from Burgos to Itero de la Vega. If you prefer, you can spend a night in Burgos pre-tour then drive to Itero de la Vega to begin the first stage of your Camino journey.
This pilgrimage is designed for wheelchair users. An electric handbike is REQUIRED, as is at least one companion to accompany you on foot. The terrain covered allows for comfortable, independent routes of 20 km on average. Where needed transfers are provided in wheelchair adapted accessible taxis, to the beginning or from the end of each stage. Luggage transport is included, from one hotel to the next.
Start: Castrojeriz End: León
Your pilgrimage begins in lovely Castrojeriz where historic monuments cluster around ancient hilltop remains, recalling battles between Arab domains and Christian kingdoms. Take time to wander round the town and get a taste for Castille as you sample local dishes this evening at dinner.
Your journey on the Way begins with a transfer in adapted taxi to Itero de la Vega, where you pick up your companion’s rental bike and start the first route of this tour. Entering the province of Palencia, you traverse a farming area called Tierra de Campos, a land of vast plains and gentle hills carpeted in waving wheat. Eight kilometres into the route, you'll be treated to panoramic views from Boadilla del Camino, population 200, with its pretty ‘Iglesia de la Asunción’ church and imposing 15th century Gothic column, ‘el rollo de justicia’.
The remaining six kilometres of this stage follow a firm dirt track alongside the Canal de Castilla, formerly used to transport grain and nowadays part of local irrigation systems. In the afternoon you reach Frómista, for a must-see tour of Romanesque gems.
Villages: Itero de la Vega - Boadilla del Camino - Frómista
Today’s stage takes an easy track alongside Route P-980 through nearly flat terrain surrounded by immense fields of grain. Stop off in Villalcázar de Sirga to visit Santa María la Blanca church. Then continue on the same track for another six kilometres to reach Carrión de los Condes (population 200), a classic Camino town with intriguing monuments such as the churches of Santa María de la Victoria and Santiago and the sublime Real Monasterio de San Zoilo.
Villages: Frómista - Población de Campos - Revenga de Campos - Villovieco - Villarmentero de Campos - Villalcázar de Sirga - Carrión de los Condes
Set off by adapted taxi with your handbike and rental bike to begin today’s stage at the crossing where Route PP-2411 meets the ancient Roman Road or Vía Aquitana. Roll along on flat, easy ground following a compact gravel track in a nearly straight line to the village of Calzadilla de la Cueza, which appears out of nowhere just as you approach, nestled in a depression in the surrounding terrain. Its adobe houses and bell tower create a familiar scene right out of a western. On this section the old Roman Road later became the Camino de Santiago, in more recent times dotted with the area’s typical round dovecotes.
Villages: Calzadilla de la Cueza - Lédigos - Terradillos de los Templarios - Moratinos
This stage leads from the farmland of Tierra de Campos into the stark open scenery of the Páramo Leonés, as you glide along on easy dirt tracks with very little ascent and descent. You will pass Moratinos and San Nicolás del Real Camino then take a short detour to admire the Romanesque-Mudejar chapel at Ermita de la Virgen del Puente on your way into Sahagún, population 3000. The town offers all sorts of services and the magnificent Mudejar churches of San Lorenzo y San Tirso.
The remainder of this stage, another 10 km / 6 mi, follows a pleasant quiet road or the (slightly slower) parallel track as you make your way to today’s destination Bercianos del Camino Real.
Villages: Moratinos-San Nicolás del Real Camino-Sahagún- Calzada del Coto-Bercianos del Camino Real.
Today you embark on a dead-straight section across the plains of El Páramo, through wide-open spaces and endless fields of grain. Once again you have the option of doing a comfortable route on the road with very little traffic or choosing a slightly slower section on a compact dirt track with fine gravel.
Villages: Bercianos del Camino Real - El Burgo de Ranero- Reliegos - Mansilla de las Mulas
Take off in an adapted taxi for the city of León, check in at your hotel then check out the city. A stunning array of local monuments includes a grand Gothic church, the 12th-13th century Catedral de Santa María with impressive stained-glass windows, and the Romanesque Basílica de San Isidoro. Art lovers can peek in at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MUSAC) and foodies will love to get lost in the labyrinth of el Barrio Húmedo, the historic tapas district where Plaza de San Martín leads to tasty narrow lanes like Calle Ancha, de la Rúa, Badillo and Las Cercas.
Your unique pilgrimage comes to an end this morning after breakfast.
The accommodation for this trip has been carefully selected according to location, daily stages to be covered, comfort and accessibility of both rooms and common facilities. We have chosen 3-star hotels and hostels, prioritizing rooms with private bathroom.

Last night I finally tasted a dish I've been hearing about for a few years now: hearts of palm tagliatelle. While you may be thinking it's pasta flavored with the ingredient, it's actually just shaved hearts of palm. The stringy stem has the same consistency as pasta.
The dish I ate had a cream-based sauce, which included some mushrooms. I can't wait to try making it at home.
This "pasta" reminded me of our raw shaved zucchini salad, which I made recently for a dinner party. A raw zucchini pasta is shown above.
Have you ever made or tried pasta-less pasta?

Tylor Dory Trio was conceived in late 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Tylor Dory and drummer Jonathan Webster. Wanting to step aside from playing in extreme metal bands, Dory and Webster decided to form the duo to explore the music close to their hearts – proggy weird stuff. The trio was completed in late 2013 after the addition of their bassist Slava Fedossenko.
Bringing together influences like Opeth, Alice In Chains, and Rush; TDT is characterized by proficient musicianship, tight songwriting, and powerful hooks. It’s progressive metal that isn’t pretentious. TDT loves pushing the boundaries of what a power trio can accomplish, but above all else, it’s about the songs.
Their new album Unsought Salvation is due out on Dec 21st 2019. The album is a continuation of their 2015 EP “Carried Away” as the band explains:
The album should serve as a valid continuation from ‘Carried Away’ alongside spiritual ties to the first EP. ‘Carried Away’ was tonally quite dark, we feel that ‘Unsought Salvation’ is a more balanced presentation featuring some upbeat tracks alongside darker and heavier tracks that you may have come to expect from listening to ‘Carried Away’.
Giving us over an hour of proggy weirdness, Tylor Dory Trio’s new album is a bit of a challenge. One that is well worth meeting but one that may see the unusual listen come out on top.
Does that mean it’s not enjoyable? Of course not. In fact, so much of Unsought Salvation will bring a joyous smile to the face as it twists and turns in ways few can even imagine. It’s not just about the complex guitar rhythm or groove after all, although it’s what most will remember.
It’s when we reach The Fallen Man that the weirdness really intensifies thanks to electronica that buzzes through the brain. Even when the trio take a more relaxed approach to their rock, such as the following Dying Light, it’s still mind-bending stuff.
Wonderful stuff, mind you. The album’s more gorgeous moments found on the likes of The Spaces in Between and Glass Menagerie. The influences listed above can be heard seeping into Tylor Dory Trio’s very own and very unique sound.
This is not a one and done kind of listen. It well and truly needs the time to sit and sink in. Each fresh listen will uncover more and more layers that initially passed by. It’s a momentous task but considering how much effort the band has put in, you should be willing to give them some of your time.
The line between madness and genius is exceptionally thin here.
Tylor Dory Trio – Unsought Salvation Full Track Listing:
1. The Righteous and the Rest
3. The Fallen Man
4. Dying Light
5. The Spaces in Between
6. East of Eden
7. Glass Menagerie
8. Marionettes (of Distant Masters)
9. Into the Maelstrom
Tylor Dory Trio - Unsought Salvation (Self Released)
The Final Score - 8/10

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In terms of sheer volume, The U.S. dominated the rest of the world in nanotech funding and new patents last year, as U.S. government funding, corporate spending, and VC investment in nanotech collectively reached $6.4 billion in 2009. But according to a new report from Lux Research, countries such as China and Russia launched new challenges to U.S. dominance in 2009, while smaller players such as Japan, Germany and South Korea surpassed the United States in terms of commercializing nanotechnology and products.
The report, titled “Ranking the Nations on Nanotech: Hidden Havens and False Threats,” compares nanotech innovation and technology development in 19 countries in order to provide government policymakers, corporate leaders and investors a detailed map of the nanotech’s international development landscape. Overall, the report found global investment in nanotech held steady through the recent financial crisis, drawing $17.6 billion from governments, corporations and investors in 2009, a 1% increase over 2008’s $17.5 billion. Only venture capitalists dialed back their support, cutting investments by 43% relative to 2008.
“Part of what motivated our research was the emerging possibility that ambitious new government funding in Russia and China represented a threat to U.S. dominance in nanotech innovation,” said David Hwang, an Analyst at Lux Research, and the report’s lead author. “But while the field certainly gained momentum in both countries as a result of the increased funding, both countries have economic and intellectual property protection issues that prevent them from being real threats just yet.”
To uncover the most fertile environments for technology developers, buyers, and investors, Lux Research mapped the nanotech ecosystems of select nations, building on earlier reports published from 2005 through 2008. In addition to tracking fundamentals, such as the number of nanotech publications and patents issued, the report also inventoried direct and indirect spending on nanotech from government, corporate and venture sources. Among its key observations:

The Congress disagreed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks in an interview that his government views all religions at par and won’t tolerate any discrimination, saying he was “simply preaching without practising it”.
Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed said such remarks were aimed at diverting attention from the “failures” of his government in the past one year.
Modi had said in an interview to Time magazine that his government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion. He also said its philosophy was “Sabka saath, sabka vikas – Together with all, progress for all”.
“Wherever a (negative) view might have been expressed (about) a minority religion, we have immediately negated that,” he said in the two-hour interview. “So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. The unity and the integrity of the country are the topmost priorities,” he said.
Ahmed however said that what Modi was saying and what people from the Sangh Parivar were doing were “two different things.”
“He is simply preaching without practising it. His government will complete one year in office and there is nothing much to show. On economy, on black money, on other promises, the government has failed miserably. So to divert attention, his government is trying a media blitz and making goody-goody statements,” he said.
Janata Dal-United leader K.C. Tyagi also said there was “difference in his (Modi’s) deeds and words”.

text: Hyponatraemia (HN) can be a life-threatening medical condition which may lead to severe neurological and psychiatric symptoms. The AMSP (Arzneimittelsicherheit in der Psychiatrie) is a multicentre drug surveillance programme that assesses severe or new adverse drug reactions during psychopharmacological treatment in psychiatric inpatients. We report on a total of 263 864 psychiatric inpatients monitored from 1993 to 2007 in 80 psychiatric hospitals in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. During this period plasma sodium levels below 130 mmol/l (severe HN according to AMSP) were reported in 93 patients (relative frequency 0.04%). On average, the plasma sodium levels of all cases were 119.7 mmol/l (±5.8 s.d.); median 121 mmol/l (range 104-129 mmol/l). Patients who showed no clinical signs (n=65, 70%) had a mean sodium level of 121.3 mmol/l (±5.0 s.d.); median 122 mmol/l (range 114-129 mmol/l). By contrast, patients with clinical symptoms (n=28, 30%) had a mean sodium level of 116.0 mmol/l (±6.0 s.d.); median 117 mmol/l (range 104-125 mmol/l). HN was mainly observed during treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (0.06%), Serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (0.08%), carbamazepine (0.10%) and oxcarbazepine (1.29%); the highest rate was found for oxcarbazepine. Antipsychotics, mirtazapine and tricyclic antidepressants were only rarely involved in HN (0.003-0.005%). Combinations of several drugs known to induce HN significantly increased the risk of HN, e.g. more than 10-fold for SSRI+diuretics+ACE inhibitors (0.37%) vs. SSRI given alone (0.02%). This is clinically relevant because such combinations, e.g. SSRI+diuretics may occur especially in elderly patients, who are in general at higher risk of developing HN.

The Marlins season sucked. The Dodgers season is starting to circle the drain. But that doesn’t mean they’re not still loads of fun. Such as when they’re sparring over Hanley Ramirez‘s rich 2012 legacy.
Bill Shaikin has the story in the L.A. Times. It started yesterday when Marlins president David Samson said that the Marlins traded Ramirez when they realized ”We just realized we couldn’t win with him.” Asked for comment, Ramirez said:
“Now are they winning without me?”
Oh, snap. And it’s made even better because, no, the Marlins are not winning without him. Indeed, they are losing at a much more prodigious rate than they were with him.

Tuesday’s Red Sox-White Sox matchups: Jake Peavy vs. Erik Johnson
|04.15.14 at 9:15 am ET|
Peavy heads into Tuesday’s game in search of his first win of the season. Despite giving up just three earned runs in a total of 12 2/3 innings this season, Peavy received a no-decision in each of his two starts. During his last outing, a game against the Rangers last Wednesday, Peavy gave up one earned run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings. The Red Sox went on to win that game in the eighth inning when David Ortiz hit a three-run home run to put Boston on top 4-2.
“That stat means nothing to me. It really doesn’t,” Peavy said Wednesday of not having a win yet this season. “We won [against Texas]. I’m more on the team win on my fifth day. I take them hard. Losing to Milwaukee on Opening Day was tough. I feel like I got the win today just as much as the 24 other guys feel the same, especially at this point in time.”
Peavy faced the White Sox for the first and only time in his career on Aug. 31, 2013. The 32-year-old righty earned the win after he scattered two runs and five hits over seven innings. Boston eventually won the game 7-2. Peavy came to Boston halfway through the 2013 season after spending 4 1/2 years with Chicago.
While Peavy has limited experience against Chicago, Johnson has even less against the Red Sox as the 24-year-old, who is in his second season in the majors, has never faced Boston.
Johnson struggled in his first outing of the year as he earned the loss after giving up seven earned runs over 4 2/3 innings. In his most recent start, a game against the Rockies last Wednesday, Johnson picked up a no-decision after he gave up four earned runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Red Sox vs. Johnson (RHP)
No current Red Sox have faced Johnson.
White Sox vs. Peavy (RHP)
Adam Dunn (39 plate appearances): .161 AVG/.308 OBP/.355 SLG, 2 HR, 6 RBIs, 7 walks, 11 strikeouts
Jordan Danks (3): .333/.333/.333, 1 strikeout
Conor Gillaspie (3): .500/.667/.500, 1 walk
Alejandro De Aza is hitless but has one RBI in three plate appearances vs. Peavy.
Paul Konerko has one strikeout in three plate appearances.
Alexei Ramirez has one hit in three plate appearances.

We’ve seen good and bad shops, so are so bad they’re funny, and some are so good you can’t even tell. I’ve been using a computer for many years and I’ve ever used Photoshop, believe it or not. I’ve used many other programs for editing photos and for what I do they work fine for my needs, but there are times when I wish I could do more. Adobe Photoshop is the premiere choice for photo editing of course, it’s where the term ‘shop’ came from. Today I have a quick review of the new version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 & Premiere Elements 9. Photoshop Elements is basically Photoshop while Premiere Elements is a video editing and creation suite of software.
Quote: Dance Paradise is a game certainly made for young people to enjoy, or older people who drink a lot. It’s a fun game with cartoony graphics as you use your avatar to play it. The game includes 40 original songs and videos from today’s popular artists like Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, and many more that I’m sure you’ll recognize. Some of them I’ve never heard of, but dancing and hip-hop aren’t really my thing at all. The game is played with the Kinect so you’ll be dancing the night away in front of your TV by yourself or with friends in the multiplayer modes.

Activating our dormant spiritual DNA strands awakens the genius within us and helps us live up to our true potential. In addition to enhancing our personal growth, it improves our health, strengthens our immune system and gives us greater intuition and access to higher dimensions. It also helps to clear family and genetic karmic patterns back 3-5 generations.
DNA is highly immunostimulatory, but it is important for mammalian cells to control its sensing and activation to avoid excessive inflammation. Defects in DNA sensing, signaling, and regulation contribute to human inflammatory diseases. Recent work suggests that the DNA-stimulated innate immune response is tightly integrated with basal cellular processes such as the DNA damage response and autophagy to maintain optimal activation and regulation of this pathway.
Previously, researchers identified an unusual gene activation sequence, called the downstream core promoter region (DPR), that can activate genes even without a TATA box in the promoter region (1). To better understand the DPR sequence, researchers led by Kadonaga used machine learning to identify rare DNA sequences that exhibit the DPR activity in humans but not in fruit flies (Drosophila). In a study published September 9 in Genes & Development, the team showed that these DPR-like DNA sequences contain a single caging group, a DNA-binding protein that prevents the binding of chromatin remodeling complexes and thus triggers gene activation (2). dna activation


As families gather to start decking the halls this holiday season, some are reminding others to check their fresh Christmas trees for any pests before trimming.
Andrea Coward said she and her family cut down their own Christmas tree at a tree farm back in 2018 but about two weeks after they brought the tree home, they received an unexpected surprise.
"There was all these little bugs everywhere. They were little baby praying mantises," Coward told "Good Morning America."
Coward opened up about her experience in a TikTok video posted Nov. 21, which has since gone viral with over 4.8 million views.
"I just wanted to bring awareness to what could be in your tree," Coward said.
Gavin Svenson, chief science officer at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, explained to "GMA" that praying mantises can hatch from eggs in a home due to the warmer temperatures inside.
"The egg cases are tricked into believing that they had already gone through winter because [of] the warmer temperatures of the house," Svenson said. "They don't hatch right away. They develop over the course of a few weeks, and then surprise!"
Experts like Svenson say although praying mantis encounters are rare, homeowners should check any fresh Christmas trees before bringing them into the home.
If a praying mantis egg case is discovered, experts recommend snipping them off the tree and leaving the egg case outside.
"If you do find a bunch of these mantises, don't worry," Svenson said. "They're not harmful. They're little, delicate, fragile little creatures."


Here's the ad. Seems pretty plain and incapable of causing controversy. It shows three of the most prominent women in Israeli politics and law today - holding some of the highest ranking positions along with the words, This Is Israel.
Apparently, Ms. magazine didn't like the content. That's their right, but something is horribly wrong about that decision. What exactly did they find harmful or offensive in the message? It's not like they're showing underweight and/or anoerxic women who suffer from eating disorders parading around on the catwalk that give impressionable women and girls the wrong ideas about self-image.
The Magazine's response seems downright lame, claiming that they "...would love to have an ad from you on women's empowerment, or reproductive freedom, but not on this"
No word on what that actually means.
Would this pass muster?

Gary Brabin urged his Tranmere Rovers side not to feel sorry for themselves after they fell to their first defeat of the season at Aldershot Town.
The defeat was actually Rovers’ first in more than nine months on the road as they were beaten 3-1 by the Shots.
Rovers fought back from a goal down to equalise with an Andy Cook header but two late goals meant that the two unbeaten runs were ended.
Manager Brabin was disappointed in the manner of the defeat.
He summed up the game speaking to Tranmere Player: “A defeat is always hard to take.
“They (Aldershot) caused us problems in the first 20 minutes but I was disappointed with the first goal we conceded.
“Then the 25 minutes before half time, I thought we were excellent, controlled the game and equalised through Andy Cook.
“Then the second half, we started brightly but the two goals we conceded towards the end were poor and we’re better than that and I’ve said that to the players.
“Rather than feel sorry for ourselves, we need to dust ourselves down and go on another unbeaten run.”

Gearboxes are drive elements that can zero backlash gearbox china increase torque, reduce or boost speed, invert rotation, or change the path or rotation of a driveshaft. Additional clearance, referred to as backlash, is built into the gearbox components to prevent gears from binding, which causes overheating and may damage one’s teeth. A potential drawback of this, nevertheless, is that backlash can make it harder to attain accurate positioning.
Low backlash gearboxes have a modified design to lessen or eliminate backlash. This includes using gears and bearings with close tolerances and ensuring parts are correctly matched to minimize dimensional variants. Backlash is often limited to 30 arc-min, or only 4 arc-min, based on the design.
Low backlash gearboxes from Ondrives.US help improve positioning precision and minimize shock loads in reversing applications. We provide gearboxes and rate reducers in a wide selection of options which includes miniature and low backlash designs. Our engineers can also create customized low backlash gearboxes based on your style or reverse manufactured from a preexisting component.
As a leading manufacturer of high precision gears and drive components, we have the experience and expertise to deliver gear drives that are personalized to your specifications. Go to Gearbox Buyers Guide page for useful details and a check-off list to assist you select the appropriate gearbox for your application.
To understand better what the backlash is, it is essential to have a clear notion of the gearhead mechanics. Structurally, a gearbox can be an set up of mechanical parts, such as pinions, bearings, pulleys, wheels, etc. Precise combinations vary, depending on specific reducer type. What’s common for all combinations-they are designed to transmit power from the engine output towards the load so as to reduce quickness and enhance torque in a safe and consistent manner.
Backlash, also lash or play, is the gap between the tail edge of the tooth transmitting power from the insight and the leading edge of the immediately following one. The gap is vital for gears to mesh with each other without getting stuck and to offer lubrication within the casing. On the downside, the mechanical enjoy is connected with significant movement losses, preventing a electric motor from reaching its optimized performance. To begin with, the losses effect negatively performance and precision.
Incorrect tolerances, bearing misalignment, and manufacturing inconsistencies tend to increase backlash.
Smaller between-middle distances are achieved either by securing a gearwheel set up with preset spacing or by inserting a springtime. Rigid bolted assembly is definitely typical of bidirectional gearboxes of the bevel, spur, worm or helical type in heavy-duty applications. Spring loading is a better choice to maintain lash at acceptable values in low-torque remedy. Mind that the locked-in-place set up requires in-program trimming since teeth tend to wear with time.

- Kuwait is a country in the Arabian Peninsula, surrounding the Gulf of Kuwait at the head of the Persian Gulf.
- In 1521, Kuwait was under Portuguese control in the late 16th century, the Portuguese built a defensive settlement in Kuwait.
- In 1613, the town of Kuwait was founded in modern-day Kuwait City. Administratively, it was a sheikhdom, ruled by local sheikhs
- In 1716, the Bani Utub settled in Kuwait, which at this time was inhabited by a few fishermen and primarily functioned as a fishing village in the eighteenth century, Kuwait prospered and rapidly became the principal commercial center for the transit of goods between India, Muscat, Baghdad and Arabia.
- By the mid 1700s, Kuwait had already established itself as the major trading route from the Persian Gulf to Aleppo.
- During the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, vessels made in Kuwait carried the bulk of trade between the ports of India, East Africa and the Red Sea.
- Kuwaiti ships were renowned throughout the Indian Ocean. Regional geopolitical turbulence helped foster economic prosperity in Kuwait in the second half of the 18th century Perhaps the biggest catalyst for much of Kuwait becoming prosperous was due to Basra’s instability in the late 18th century.
- In the late 18th century, Kuwait partly functioned as a haven for Basra’s merchants, who were fleeing Ottoman government persecution Kuwaitis developed a reputation as the best sailors in the Persian Gulf.
- With the end of the world war, and increasing need for oil across the world, Kuwait experienced a period of prosperity driven by oil and its liberal atmosphere.
- The period of 1946-82 is often termed “the golden period of Kuwait” by western academics. In popular discourse, the years between 1946 and 1982 are referred to as the “Golden Era”.
- However, Kuwaiti academics argue that this period was marked by benefits accruing only to the wealthier and connected ruling classes. It saw an increased presence of British, American and French citizens connected with the new oil industry, wealth transfer to people connected with the Emir, the creation of a new privileged upper class of educated Kuwaitis, bankers, and a vast majority of Kuwaitis living a life of penury.
- This resulted in a growing gulf between the wealthy minority and the majority of common citizens in 1950, a major public-work programme began to enable Kuwaitis to enjoy a modern standard of living.
- By 1952, the country became the largest oil exporter in the Persian Gulf region. This massive growth attracted many foreign workers, especially from Palestine, India, and Egypt – with the latter being particularly political within the context of the Arab Cold War In June 1961, Kuwait became independent with the end of the British protectorate and the Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah became Emir of Kuwait.
- Kuwait’s national day, however, is celebrated on 25 February, the anniversary of the coronation of Sheikh Abdullah (it was originally celebrated on 19 June, the date of independence, but concerns over the summer heat caused the government to move it )Under the terms of the newly drafted Constitution, Kuwait held its first parliamentary elections in 1963. Kuwait was the first of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf to establish a constitution and parliament.
- In the 1960s and 1970s, Kuwait’s press was described as one of the freest in the world. Kuwait was the pioneer in the literary renaissance in the Arab region. In 1958, Al-Arabi magazine was first published.
- The magazine went on to become the most popular magazine in the Arab world. Many Arab writers moved to Kuwait because they enjoyed greater freedom of expression than elsewhere in the Arab world. The Iraqi poet Ahmed Matar left Iraq in the 1970s to take refuge in the more liberal environment of Kuwait.
- Kuwaiti society embraced liberal and Western attitudes throughout the 1960s and 1970s
- For example, most Kuwaiti women did not wear the hijab in the 1960s and 70s.
- In the early 1980s, Kuwait experienced a major economic crisis after the Souk Al-Manish stock market crash and decrease in oil price.
- During the Iran–Iraq War, Kuwait supported Iraq. Throughout the 1980s, there were several terror attacks in Kuwait, including the 1983 Kuwait bombings, hijacking of several Kuwait Airways planes and attempted assassination of Emir Jaber in 1985. Kuwait was a regional hub of science and technology in the 1960s and 1970s up until the early 1980s the scientific research sector significantly suffered due to the terror attacks.
- After the Iran–Iraq War ended, Kuwait declined an Iraqi request to forgive its US$65 billion debt. An economic rivalry between the two countries ensued after Kuwait increased its oil production by 40 percent. Tensions between the two countries increased further in July 1990, after Iraq complained to OPEC claiming that Kuwait was stealing its oil from a field near the border by slant drilling of the Rumaila field.
3.Gulf War (1990–91)
- The invasion of Kuwait and annexation by Iraq took place on 2 August 1990. Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s primary justifications included a charge that Kuwaiti territory was in fact an Iraqi province, and that annexation was retaliation for “economic warfare” Kuwait had waged through slant drilling into Iraq’s oil supplies. However, the initial casus belli was claimed to be support for a Kuwaiti rebellion. An Iraqi-backed puppet leader named Alaa Hussein Ali was installed as head of the “Provisional Government of Free Kuwait.” Iraq annexed Kuwait on 8 August.
- The war was traumatic to the Kuwaiti population. The underground resistance was punished by summary executions and torture. Almost all Kuwaitis at the time lost some family member. In addition, half the population, both native and foreign-born fled.
- A Palestinian exodus from Kuwait took place during and after the Gulf War. During the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait 200,000 Palestinians voluntarily fled Kuwait due to various reasons (fear or persecution, food shortages, medical care difficulties, financial shortages, fear of arrest and mistreatment at roadblocks by Iraqis). After the Gulf War in 1991, nearly 200,000 Palestinians fled Kuwait, partly due to economic burdens, regulations on residence and fear of abuse by Kuwaiti security forces.
- Prior to the Gulf War, Palestinians numbered 400,000 of Kuwait’s population of 2.2 million. The Palestinians who fled Kuwait were Jordanian citizens. In 2012, 80,000 Palestinians resided in Kuwait.
After Gulf War (1992–present)
- In March 2003, Kuwait became the springboard for the US-led invasion of Iraq. Upon the death of the Emir Jaber, in January 2006, Saad Al-Sabah succeeded him but was removed nine days later by the Kuwaiti parliament due to his ailing health. Sabah Al-Sabah was sworn in as Emir.
- In 2011 and 2012, there were protests. The parliament was dissolved in December 2011 due to protests against the parliament. The prime minister stepped down following protests.

Arise Nigeria has carpeted the leadership of Boboye Oyeyemi in the Federal Roads Safety Corps, FRSC in the last six years over his inability to address major traffic offenders that indulged in one way driving and making phone calls while driving even in the heart of Federal Capital Territory.
The group according to the image maker, Abdullahi Kaltungo said this has increased the rate of deaths through car accidents, lamenting the FRSC was in good shape before he took over six years ago compared to what it is now.
In a statement which was signed and made available to CAPITAL POST on Monday in Abuja by the group, accused
officials of FRSC across the country of paying mere lip service to numerous offenders across the country.
He said the Corps Marshal rather than giving more attention to traffic offenders indulge in wild goose chase and prograes that is not geared towards improving roads traffic to secure travellers and road users.
“The easiest offence in the country is often times road users preoccupied major high ways with one way driving across the country, and usually on phone while driving.
“These two ugly trend has led to loss of many innocent lives due to negligence of duty on the part of FRSC management and officials.”
He warned on the consequences of the Corps continuing to overlook the major offences, saying it is not only during yuletide that special attention is given to road users.

Labels have been caught in a financial loop for the past decade. Both leading and emerging labels, who allocate higher budgets to platform marketing and face intense competition in the number of daily releases, are at a crossroads on how to make their artists shine. Unfortunately, there are no magic solutions. The best strategy is to work with powerful agencies. But what characterizes a powerful agency in the music industry?
The following is from Music Promo Today, a company DMN is proud to work with.
- 5x to 6x the reach of ads compared to your internal team
- Daily 5-7,000 streams on Spotify
- No phantom shares on social networks
- Internal or native AI
- Pitch and placement opportunities (not just guarantees)
- Artist monetization solutions
- Publications and outlets that are personally owned by them
- Scaled advertising budgets
- Fluid communication
- Transparent range
Just recently signed a deal with Warner Music, MPT agency has expanded its resources, assets and capabilities to adapt to the new dynamic landscape of music marketing and music promotion.
Anto Dotcom and Raffi Keuhnelian are known in the industry for their powerful tactics, but the company has taken a new direction to cater to its independent and large label clients.
With a much denser market to contend with, the company has invested heavily in AI and a series of media acquisitions to exponentially expand the digital reach of its artists.
For one, the company just released its own AI platform Virtual Publicist. An intelligent search engine based on artist data to collect media and outlet contacts from all corners of the world. After using the technology internally for the last several years, the team released the beta version to test the waters and improve the user experience. Virtual Publicist is scheduled to launch in full form in late Q3 2023.
So far, managers, label managers and artists have used the platform to simplify the discovery of outlets and to optimize their communication.
With a 37% response rate for AI targeting and messaging, Virtual Publicist allows many professionals to up their game and save valuable time during their campaign.
For its customers, the team helps to coordinate the campaign using the software and forward contacts. With greater fluidity and transparency, both agency and label now benefit from a dynamic communication infrastructure.
Ahead of technology, digital assets are another aspect the agency used to reward their offering of labels. With the acquisition of 4 music magazines: Sweet n’ Sour Magazine, pinch of sol, pop culture & Stereo SaintsMPT Agency just integrated 4 niche communities with thousands of active fans into their network.
Why is this more important than traditional PR pitching?
Labels now have direct access for the press and gain access to engaged fans across all social media platforms. This simplifies and amplifies giveaways, announcements, tour promotions, ticket sales and content reactions.
Additionally, labels gain access to a third-party community to innovate and test artist interaction. This can affect listening parties, demo releases, and exclusive features that would normally cost hundreds of hours to build relationships or thousands of dollars to place Payola-style.
By bridging the gap to the global media communities, powerful marketing and advertising firms like MPT agency create a more accessible industry ecosystem.
“This round of funding has been a huge success and our mission is no less to empower the artist’s journey to create a fairer and more open way to showcase their work.” Raffi Keuhnelian explains: “There are 100,000 songs published every day. Ironically, despite the exponential growth in global access to music through streaming, discoverability is becoming increasingly complex. With fan bases fractionated, it will be essential for labels to have access to niche communities in emerging markets and digital tools to connect them directly to point of sale.”
“The Big 3 are a powerhouseRepresenting nearly 3⁄4 of the music market’s market cap, their need to gain access to both new talent and a regional or community audience is an absolute necessity to sustain their growth.”
Over the past year, MPT Agency has worked closely with its new subsidiaries. In the case of Sweet n Sour, the blog launched its first print magazine in 2022 and is now a content partner with top labels like armada, Mau5trap, monster cat, wall records, skin trap And Ministry of Sound.
As labels require greater access to niche market listeners and high performing, low latency campaigns, it is imperative that they work with agencies to maximize their artist exposure.
Without a suitable monetization strategy, driven by access to direct networks, labels will continue to lose market relevance in favor of digital solutions.
A prominent example is MPT agency, which relies on technology and traditional media in times of recession and is now benefiting with its global partnerships. The new generation of artists must redefine artist independence and redefine the reach of their campaigns to compete in this globalized marketplace.

The behavior of whitetail deer varies with age. Fawns are playful, naive and curious, while adults are more cautious and wary. Fawn bucks are also more aggressive and less suspicious. Whitetail deer are crepuscular animals, meaning they mostly forage for food at twilight. They move most at dawn and dusk regardless of weather.
Adult whitetail deer are extremely suspicious and wary, especially during hunting season. Their highly developed senses allow them to sense danger. Most deer would stay quiet and try to sneak away unnoticed, but when seriously threatened or frightened, they may stomp their hooves, produce snorting or blowing sounds and quickly run away with their tails raised upwards. The exposed white color underneath the raised tail serves as a warning to other deer.
Most whitetail deer are solitary animals, with the male and female associating only during the mating season. They do have a social unit comprised of does, their fawns and yearlings and adult bucks, but most of the family members leave eventually to mate, forage and establish a home range. A doe with no fawns remains solitary. Adult bucks do not stay to raise the fawns and sometimes travel with other males when foraging. Super bucks or mature whitetail deer with large antlers are more aloof and reserved, often living alone regardless of season.
