In spoken dialogue systems such as conversational agents and virtual assistants, mistakes happen in which the agent or assistant does not fully understand the user. Grounding is the process of reaching mutual understanding of what is being said, and is necessary for resolving mistakes. The mistakes in this research are speech recognition errors by an agent.
For our experiment we implemented a part of the grounding process in a turn-based spoken dialogue system for repairing misunderstandings. In particular, we implemented two types of grounding: conditional and unconditional grounding. Conditional grounding is a repair process where the agent repeats the question if it thinks it misunderstood the user. Unconditional grounding is a form of implicit verification in which the agent always repeats part of the user’s previous response while asking its next question, giving the user the opportunity to correct the agent if it has misunderstood anything.
In our experiment, twenty users interacted with both a conditional and an unconditional prototype, to determine which type of grounding in spoken dialogue systems users prefer. The system design was semi-autonomous: a wizard controlled the misunderstandings and typed in grammar mistakes as a human speech recognizer, to make sure that the unconditional grounding used words that were similar but not identical to what the user said. In the conditional prototype, no intervention of the wizard was necessary.
We asked participants after interacting with the two systems which one they preferred, and most preferred the conditional prototype. Looking more into the details, we found a possible recency effect, because most participants preferred the prototype they spoke with most recently. Additionally, we asked how people liked the tempo of the conversation, the intelligence and empathy of the agent and the certainty of understanding. Participants found the conditional prototype to be more intelligent, but less empathetic than the unconditional prototype. They felt that the tempo of the conditional prototype was faster, most likely due to the fact that the wizarding caused a delay in the unconditional prototype. Participants had different opinions on which prototype had the most certainty of understanding. Some people preferred to hear their answer back to confirm (unconditional) and others preferred the conditional prototype because the agent repeating the questions is a clear indication of misunderstanding.

Pride celebrates our freedom and promotes equality in this great country. Some take this remembrance solemnly. To others, it’s just another day to take their shirts off and sport enough glitter to make Ke$ha blush. Neither is wrong. And this year, Pride parades have been special. They have been especially uplifting with an extra feeling of community and defiance in wake of the Orlando massacre that killed 49 people and wounded 53 at the LGBT Pulse nightclub.
You’ve read plenty of how-to guides, I’m sure, but you can’t be too prepared. Check out these 10 life hacks for your best gay Pride yet.

Bankruptcy filings in the Buffalo-Rochester region continued to decline in January.
Maintaining a long-term trend, the number of filings dropped 13 percent from January 2013 to 376, the lowest in the combined region for that month since 2006, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court data.
The number of filings in Buffalo declined 4 percent in January, while Rochester’s total decreased 25 percent. Buffalo accounted for 64 percent of the cases filed.
On an annual basis, new bankruptcy filings have declined in the Buffalo-Rochester area for four consecutive years, from 2010 through 2013. Experts point to a number of factors driving the trend: less free spending by consumers, an improved job market, and lenders being more restrictive about distributing credit cards.
Jeffrey Freedman of Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys said bankruptcies nowadays often stem from burdensome medical expenses, as well as aggressive tactics by debt collection firms. Some debtors feel intimidated by aggressive collectors, and they end up paying those bills ahead of expenses such as mortgage or car payments, and they fall deeper into financial trouble, he said. “Many times the people that make the most threats are going to get paid,” he said.
Freedman noted that many people with jobs are using credit cards more responsibly and staying out of bankruptcy.
Of the 376 cases filed in January in the Buffalo-Rochester market, 265 of them were Chapter 7 cases. In Chapter 7, debtors can liquidate their assets to pay off debts and then erase any remaining amounts owed so they can start over.

The Colorado State Patrol is currently investigating a single-vehicle crash, which resulted in a single fatality. The crash occurred on westbound Colorado Highway 10 approximately three miles west of La Junta, Colo.
A 2013 Ford Raptor, drive by John Miguel Narez-Estrada, 28, out of Swink, Colo., was traveling westbound on Colorado Highway 10, when the Ford drifted off the right side of the road and collided with a bridge abutment. The Ford became airborne, and engulfed in flames prior to coming to rest in an irrigation canal.
The Otero County Coroner pronounced John Narez-Estrada deceased on scene.
Alcohol is being considered a factor in the crash. However, the crash remains under investigation.

In the final days before states submit their primary and caucus plans to the Republican National Committee, the GOP is sweating bullets over the possibility that a gang of rogue states could still wreak havoc on the 2012 presidential nominating process.
One state, Arizona, has already announced that it will violate RNC rules and hold its primary on February 28 – a full week before joint RNC-Democratic National Committee rules permit states to do so. Michigan’s legislature is also moving toward scheduling its vote for the same date.
Story Continued Below
Then there’s Florida, a repeat offender when it comes to calendar mischief, which has empaneled a committee to choose an election date that’s expected to fall before the RNC-sanctioned date of March 6.
The RNC cutoff for states to schedule their elections is October 1—and some states may even blow that deadline.
“Florida and perhaps other states feel with their size that they should have greater impact than they’ve had in the past,” said former Florida Gov. Bob Martinez, who was named to the state’s primary commission Friday. “To have greater impact, you have to go earlier.”
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who has the power to select a date for his state’s primary, said Georgia may also decide to join the small throng crowding the early end of the 2012 calendar.
“I’ve been following what Arizona did and I’m still following what other states like Michigan and Florida may do. That certainly could have an influence on us,” Kemp told POLITICO. “It’s important for everybody to know we have all options still on the table and we’re going to continue to watch what everyone else does.”
The order of states in the 2012 calendar is more than an arcane procedural issue. Every time a state leapfrogs the calendar, it scrambles the strategic calculus for presidential candidates who have largely focused on a small band of officially sanctioned early primaries.
According to RNC and DNC rules, only four states are permitted to vote before the “Super Tuesday” date of March 6: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
States that schedule elections before that point risk having their delegations to the Republican National Convention cut in half, raising the prospect of a summer fight over whose delegates get seated and whose don’t.
Another response is that traditional early states such as South Carolina may move their primaries even earlier to avoid sharing election dates with brazen newcomers like Arizona.
Presidential candidates then have to decide whether to compete in potentially messy, unsanctioned contests.
The candidates’ response to Arizona was telling: Even though the state is openly defying the RNC, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann both visited within days of Gov. Jan Brewer’s decision to hold a primary in late February.
That could effectively send a signal to the other undecided states that, whatever the RNC says, candidates are prepared to reward their bad behavior.
Michigan Republican National Committeeman Saul Anuzis, a Romney supporter, predicted that a few more states may schedule their elections for the end of February and then “beg for mercy” from the RNC when it comes time to hand out delegates.
“If they go February 28 or later, I think we will at least have succeeded at moving the calendar out of the holidays,” said Anuzis, who pointed to Florida as the state still most likely to tear up the process. “If Florida goes early and forces the others to move, we could very easily be back to the 2008 calendar.”
In addition to the states that are all but explicitly daring the party to penalize them, several others are likely to hold early, non-binding caucuses that would start the process of choosing delegates near the beginning of February.

The Bubonic Plague is an oldie but a badie that may be rare but has never gone away. At the beginning of July, a girl in southwest Colorado died of the plague. It is the first time since 2005 that someone has died of this terrible disease. In 2020 there were 4 cases of the plague in New Mexico. This virus is alive in New Mexico.
The plague is transmitted from fleas. The flea bites carry this illness from animal to animal, or in some cases, from animal to human. This is one of the few viruses that transmits from your pets to their people.
Where is the plague?
- Northern New Mexico
- Northern Arizona
- Southern Colorado
- Southern Oregon
- Western Nevada
- Pretty much all over the Southwest
- Most commonly transmitted from squirrels than rats
- They are often in Prarie Dogs
- Transmittable from animal to human
- No cure, though antibiotics can help prevent transmission
- 1,000-2,000 worldwide cases per year
- 10-15 cases in the US
With the plague in New Mexico, it is more important than ever to make sure your pets are being treated with preventative flea and tick treatment. The only way to truly treat the plague is to prevent the plague. Bring your pets in today to get their Frontline Flea and Tick.

February is Black History Month. This year, we’re commemorating Black History by looking at the history of business and economics in Black freedom struggles, and by supporting Black-owned small businesses.
What does supporting Black-owned business have to do with Black History month? Everything.
Even though we don’t often think of it this way, so much of the fight for equity in America, and Black History in general is, at its core, a history of business. Compensation for labor has been at the core of Black liberation since the antebellum era (way before diversity was ever a buzzword). The Civil Rights Movement began with Black domestic workers—who could also be thought of as OG entrepreneurs—organizing the Montgomery bus boycott. And let’s not forget, the 1963 march on Washington was a March for Jobs and Freedom, and it couldn’t have happened without labor organizers like A.P. Randolph. Just before Dr. King was killed, he was working with sanitation workers in Memphis to organize a strike for better working conditions and pay; the second March on Washington, The Poor People’s Campaign, explicitly linked racial and economic justice. Black folks have been fighting for and invested in small businesses for decades.
It’s troubling, then, that over the past 30 years, the US has seen a sharp decline in independent Black-owned businesses, and that Black women in particular face so many obstacles getting their business ventures funded. And this isn’t just a problem for Black communities; it affects all of us. Like shopping local, shopping at Black-owned businesses (so many of them small businesses and independent businesses) means more of what you spend recirculates in the community and stimulates the economy. Everybody wins.
So, this Black History month, why not participate in the history of Black economic liberation? Here are ten small businesses, all Black-owned with online shops, to patronize this February—and every other month of the year, too.

HYDERABAD: Will the CPM, which is ranged against the BJP and the Congress equally at the national level, join hands with regional parties like TRS? The ruling TRS in Telangana is coming down heavily on both the national parties. In this scenario, would the TRS and the CPM come together to build an alternative to both the BJP and Congress at the national level?
The topic of building a third alternative at the national level is being debated in political circles ahead of the CPM Central Committee’s three-day meeting, which will commence at Sundarayya Vignana Kendram here on Friday.The CPM, which is determined to end the BJP rule at the Centre, may discuss the possibility of an alliance with like-minded secular political forces and regional parties.
The moot question is whether or not TRS joins the bandwagon. What gives credence to the latest buzz is that TRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao is in touch with the CPM and CPI leaders on various issues, including privatisation of public sector undertakings by the Narendra Modi government.
The TRS is opposing tooth and nail the policies of the Modi government. In this backdrop, it remains to be seen if Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan meets his Telangana counterpart during the visit.The three-day CPM meeting will discuss and finalise the draft political resolution, which will be placed before the 23rd Congress of the party, to be held later this year.
The political resolution will naturally lambast the BJP. Indications are that the CPM may not forge an alliance with the Congress at national level. However, it will adopt West Bengal model in some states. There is a difference of opinion within the CPM over forging an alliance with the Congress at national level.
Some CPM leaders recently saw a pro-Hindu in Rahul Gandhi. In this backdrop, it remains to be seen whether Sitaram Yechuri will get third term as party general secretary or not. The meeting may also discuss who should be the next general secretary. About 96 members of the Central Committee, including top leaders like Yechury, Vijayan and Prakash Karat are likely to attend the meeting.

In many ways Masjidullah in West Oak Lane is the bridge between the three Abrahamic faiths present in Philadelphia. The edifice at the corner of Washington Lane and Limekiln Pike was once a synagogue before it was home to the West Oak Lane Church of God —who sold it to the mosque. Hebrew writing and the Star of David is visible or covered over in a way that it has not been removed. Stained glass Christian windows are also preserved beneath the Muslim façade.
So, it is little wonder that when an interfaith group of clergy gathered on Good Friday it was at Masjidullah located at 7433 Limekiln Pike. There rabbis, ministers and imams joined together to denounce the negative portrayal of those who practice Islam on SEPTA buses. Yet the gathering also offered the opportunity for persons like Stephanie Jones of West Oak Lane to experience her first time inside a mosque.
“I saw all the people coming over while I was shopping on the avenue and decided to see what was going on,” Jones said. “I learned a lot about what the mosque is doing here. I didn’t even realize that there was an Islamic school here. Sometimes you drive by places and never really see. I think we should all unite whenever there is something negative going on.”
In her remarks Rabbi Nancy Kreimer of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, said that many in the Jewish community share the Muslims’ concern about the advertisement. She said she interrupted her Seder preparation to attend the public event denouncing the bus ads. She drew spontaneous applause during her remarks…

New Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq was not the first choice for the role, chief selector Mohsin Khan admitted. Mohsin said that former skipper Younus Khan had been the selectors' preferred option, but he was unavailable as his stand-off with the Pakistan Cricket Board continues.
Younus had a lifetime ban, imposed following the disastrous tour of Australia last winter, overturned by the PCB in July, however, the governing body are still unwilling to clear him for selection. With Younus out of the picture, the selectors opted to promote Misbah (right) for next month's series against South Africa even though the 36-year-old failed to make the squad for the recent tour of England.
The PCB has lifted a 12-month ban and halved a fine on the all-rounder Rana Naved, who was among the seven players banned or fined by the PCB after the tour to Australia.
"We needed a senior player to strengthen our batting line-up," said Mohsin of Misbah's selection to the team, while his unblemished reputation saw him emerge as a candidate for the captaincy of a team tainted by spot-fixing allegations during their recent tour of England, with outgoing captain Salman Butt one of the accused players.
"In a team where many of the players have had serious disciplinary problems, Misbah is one guy who has a neat and clean background," Mohsin said.
Misbah has only played 19 Tests and has averaged 33.6 with the bat.

I haven't had much time to think about what to work on for August. School starts in a couple weeks, so things will be crazy again real soon. Not that the crazy ever really stops!
I would really like to have my text lap quilt sooner rather than later, so I'm hoping to continue with my project from last month. I would at least like to have my plan figured out, any extra fabrics picked out, and the quilt top started. I'm really leaning to something scrapy, and I did come up with one more layout in EQ7.
UPDATE: I was playing around with layouts again today, and came up with this one, which was a little trickier to create in EQ7. I have some text fabrics in my stash that I could cut into larger (8" finished) squares, make some 4 patches from the charms, and fill in as needed to come up with something like this. If I have to, I could probably shrink it by 4" in each direction. Hmmmm...

Offers Buy-Now-Pay-Later to 5m SME retailers
TradeDepot, one of Africa’s leading B2B eCommerce and embedded finance platforms has raised $110 million in an equity and debt funding round to support the delivery of Buy-Now-Pay-Later services to five million SME retailers and drive further expansion of its merchant platform across the continent.
The Series B equity round was spearheaded by the International Finance Corporation.
In a disclosure made available by TradeDepot to Business A.M., the company stated that the funding and debt financing round was steered by Arcadia Funds with participation from Novastar, Sahel Capital, CDC Group, Endeavor Catalyst and existing investors, Partech and MSA Capital. It also said the new funding will support the expansion of the innovative merchant platform into new cities.
With Africa’s SME retailers contributing $2.6 trillion to the continent’s GDP and generating $1 trillion in annual sales, a fragmented distribution network and lack of access to financing has led to inefficiencies in distribution and many missed opportunities across the value chain. However, the company has said it will offer a broad range of consumer goods to SMEs retailers within the network through its ShopTopUp platform while providing credit lines to enable these retailers to access inventory and pay in installments as they sell on to their own customers.
Consequently, the new funding will expedite the delivery of this service to more retailers, increasing penetration for consumer goods brands and driving prosperity in one of the continent’s most critical sectors. With active operations in 12 cities across Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, TradeDepot leverages its data, technology and robust logistics operations to connect retailers with suppliers and unlock financing to fund inventory purchases for retailers, enabling increased sales, higher margins and other value-added services for all parties.
Onyekachi Izukanne, co-founder and chief executive officer, speaking on the new funding said: “We remain super focused on making digital commerce and financing both accessible and affordable to neighbourhood retailers across key cities in Africa. We are delighted to be joined by an elite group of new investors and have IFC’s Wale Ayeni and Brian Odhambo of Novastar joining our board of directors, to support us on this journey to drive growth and prosperity across the continent.”
Also, representing the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, Makhtar Diop, managing director at IFC said: “The informal sector is a large and critical part of Africa’s economy, accounting for around 80 percent of jobs in the region. We are excited to work with TradeDepot to leverage technology to help small businesses across the continent, particularly the many retailers led by women, access the resources they need to grow and scale.”
Meanwhile, since launch, TradeDepot has built a network of leading consumer goods brands and SME retailers across Africa, and created a proprietary risk scoring engine that uses retailers’ purchase history, previous repayment performance and other related data points to predict their creditworthiness. This game-changing financing model coupled with industry-leading technology to support logistics operations has led to a 200 percent increase in transaction volumes for retail store owners.

People often look at me like I have six heads and a tail when I tell them that I don’t have television at home – broadcast, cable, satellite or otherwise. I do have A television, a DVD player and a subscription to Netflix, thank you very much.
After reading how bad Sunday night’s Emmy broadcast was, I went trawling around youtube to see just HOW bad it was. Well, I found it, in the form of Josh Groban and his singing montage of television theme songs.

But if you missed it, consider yourself lucky. This Josh Groban guy is just plain bad and the whole performance was sad, sorry and pathetic.

Strategy board games have long been a popular form of entertainment, challenging players to think critically and strategically in order to achieve victory.

The world of strategy board games awaits – let’s embark on this journey together.
What Makes a Strategy Board Game Great
Strategy board games have been a popular form of entertainment for centuries, providing players with an immersive and intellectual experience. But what exactly makes a strategy board game great? There are several key factors to consider when determining the quality of a strategy board game.
One important aspect is the depth and complexity of the gameplay. A great strategy board game should offer challenging decisions and require strategic thinking from players. It should have multiple paths to victory and allow for creative problem-solving. A game that is too simplistic or lacks strategic depth may not hold the interest of experienced gamers.
Another crucial factor is the balance between luck and skill. While luck can add excitement and unpredictability to a game, it should not overshadow the importance of skillful decision-making. A well-designed strategy board game will provide players with meaningful choices and opportunities to outmaneuver their opponents, rather than relying solely on luck.
The theme and aesthetics of a strategy board game also play a significant role in its appeal. A great strategy board game will have an engaging theme that draws players into its world, whether it’s exploring ancient civilizations or fighting epic battles in space. Additionally, high-quality components, artwork, and production value can enhance the overall experience and make the game more visually appealing.
Unraveling the Complexity
Chess is undoubtedly one of the most popular and well-known strategy board games. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, with its earliest known versions developed in India around the 6th century AD. Over the centuries, chess has spread throughout the world and has become not only a beloved pastime but also a recognized sport with international tournaments and championships.
What sets chess apart from other strategy board games is its complexity. On the surface, it may seem like a simple game with two opposing sides trying to capture each other’s pieces and ultimately checkmate the opponent’s king. However, chess players know that beneath this seemingly straightforward objective lies an intricate web of strategic decision-making.
One of the key factors that make chess such a complex game is its vast number of possible moves and positions. With each turn, players have numerous options available to them, forcing them to think several moves ahead and anticipate their opponent’s responses. This depth of thinking requires players to analyze different tactical and positional possibilities, weigh risks and rewards, and carefully plan their moves to gain an advantage over their opponents.
To aid in analyzing the complexity of chess, there are several techniques that players use to evaluate positions and make informed decisions. One common approach is considering material balance – assessing the relative value of each piece on the board and calculating whether exchanges will lead to an advantageous position. Additionally, players often focus on controlling key squares or lines on the board to restrict their opponent’s options while maximizing their own positional influence.
It is these intricacies that have made chess a timeless classic among strategy board games. Both beginners and experienced players are drawn to its intellectual challenge and ever-evolving possibilities. As we delve deeper into this fascinating game, we will explore various strategies, tactics, and concepts that are essential for mastering chess play in the next section.
As popular as chess may be, there are several other strategy board games that have gained recognition and popularity in recent years. These rising stars offer unique gameplay experiences and challenge players to think strategically in different ways. If you’re looking to expand your board game collection beyond chess, here are some top strategy board games worth exploring:
Settlers of Catan
Settlers of Catan is a classic strategy board game that has become a favorite among many enthusiasts. In this game, players take on the role of settlers establishing colonies on an island called Catan. The goal is to collect resources and trade with other players to build settlements, cities, and roads. With a modular board that changes with each playthrough, Settlers of Catan offers endless possibilities and requires careful planning and negotiation skills.
If you’re interested in space exploration and colonization, Terraforming Mars is the perfect game for you. As the title suggests, the objective of this game is to terraform the red planet by raising its temperature, introducing water, and increasing oxygen levels. Players take on the role of corporations competing to make Mars habitable while managing resources efficiently and strategically.
While Pandemic may not fit the traditional definition of a strategy board game like chess or Settlers of Catan, it provides a unique cooperative experience that challenges players’ strategic thinking abilities. In this game, players work together as a team to prevent the outbreak of deadly diseases across the globe. Each player assumes a different role with special abilities to control outbreaks, find cures, and ultimately save humanity.
These rising stars in the world of strategy board games provide diverse themes and gameplay mechanics that appeal to a wide range of players. Whether you’re into resource management, negotiation tactics, or cooperative gameplay, there’s something for everyone beyond the realm of chess. So, if you’re ready to explore new horizons and discover exciting strategy board games, these titles are a great place to start.
Battle of the Minds
Chess is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and beloved strategy board games in the world. Its long history, complex gameplay, and strategic depth have earned it a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. However, there are many other strategy board games that offer unique challenges and opportunities for players to flex their mental muscles.
One notable contender is Go, an ancient Chinese game that shares some similarities with chess but has its own distinct style of play. Like chess, Go requires players to outmaneuver their opponents and capture territory on a grid-based board. However, Go differs from chess in several ways, such as the absence of different types of pieces and an emphasis on whole-board thinking rather than individual piece movement.
Another popular strategy board game is Risk, which offers a completely different experience compared to both chess and Go. Risk challenges players to conquer territories on a world map through strategic troop movements and dice rolls. Unlike chess and Go, where each move is predetermined, Risk relies heavily on chance and negotiation skills. Players must carefully balance their aggression with diplomacy as they navigate alliances and betrayals in their quest for global domination.
These are just two examples of the many strategy board games that can rival chess in terms of complexity and enjoyment. Games like Scrabble, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Pandemic also offer unique strategic experiences that cater to different interests and play styles. While chess may be the king of traditional strategy board games, exploring these alternatives can enrich your gaming repertoire and provide fresh challenges for your mind to tackle.
Chess is a game of strategy that has stood the test of time. With its rich history and complex gameplay, mastering chess can be both challenging and rewarding. In this section, we will explore some tips, tricks, and strategies that can help players achieve success in chess.
One important aspect of mastering chess is understanding the different pieces and their movements. Each piece has its own unique abilities and limitations, and knowing how to effectively utilize them can give players an advantage on the board.
For example, the pawn is often considered to be one of the weakest pieces, but it can be powerful when used strategically. Deploying pawns to control key squares and create a strong defense can set up opportunities for more aggressive moves with other pieces.
Another crucial aspect of successful chess play is developing a solid opening strategy. The opening phase sets the stage for the rest of the game and can greatly influence the outcome. There are countless opening variations in chess, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Familiarizing yourself with popular openings and understanding their underlying principles can help you navigate through the early stages of a game with confidence.
Additionally, long-term planning and foresight are essential in chess. Good players constantly evaluate future possibilities and potential threats while considering their opponents’ plans as well. It is essential to think multiple moves ahead and anticipate how different actions may impact the overall position on the board. This ability to calculate variations comes with practice and experience, but honing this skill will undoubtedly lead to improved decision-making during gameplay.
In summary, mastering Chess requires knowledge of piece movements, strategic thinking in both openings and long-term planning/foresight during gameplay for success.
|Familiarize yourself with each piece’s unique abilities||Utilize pawns effectively to control key squares||Develop a solid opening strategy|
|Think multiple moves ahead and anticipate potential threats||Continuously evaluate future possibilities||Hone the ability to calculate variations|
Solo play is a popular choice for strategy board game enthusiasts who want to test their skills and immerse themselves in a challenging gaming experience. Whether you’re looking for a game to play on your own or simply enjoy the solitude of solo gaming, the following list showcases some of the best strategy board games designed specifically for solo play.
- Mage Knight: This epic fantasy adventure game allows players to take on the role of powerful Mage Knights exploring the land, conquering cities, and engaging in epic battles. With multiple scenarios and an innovative level-up system, Mage Knight offers a deep and immersive gameplay experience that keeps solo players engaged for hours.
- Spirit Island: In this cooperative game, players act as spirits defending an island from invaders. The unique aspect of Spirit Island is that each spirit has its own set of powers and abilities, making each playthrough a fresh and challenging experience. With its strategic depth and dynamic gameplay, Spirit Island provides solo gamers with endless hours of entertainment.
- Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island: Based on the classic novel by Daniel Defoe, this cooperative game puts players in the shoes of shipwrecked survivors trying to endure and ultimately escape from a cursed island. With its engaging narrative, variable scenarios, and tough decision-making mechanics, Robinson Crusoe offers a thrilling solo gaming experience full of suspense and strategic choices.
Not only do these games provide an immersive gameplay experience for solo players, but they also offer varying levels of complexity and strategic depth that keep gamers coming back for more. Whether you prefer a fantasy adventure or a survival-themed game, there’s something for every solo gamer in this list.
The Ultimate Social Experience
Group play is an integral part of strategy board games. Not only does it bring people together, but it also adds an exciting and social dynamic to the gameplay. In this section, we will explore some of the top strategy board games that are perfect for group play.
Pandemic is a cooperative strategy game where players work together to save the world from deadly viruses. Each player takes on a unique role with special abilities and must collaborate with others to cure diseases in different cities before they spread uncontrollably.
The game requires strong communication and strategic planning as players race against time to find the cures and prevent outbreaks. Pandemic is a thrilling group game that can accommodate up to four players, making it an ideal choice for game nights with friends or family.
Codenames is a word-based deduction game that challenges players to find hidden agents using only one-word clues given by their team’s “spymaster”. The game is played in teams, making it perfect for group play. Players must use their wit, creativity, and teamwork to decipher the codenames while avoiding revealing the opposing team’s agents or guessing innocent bystanders. Codenames is highly interactive and encourages lively discussion among players, making it a fantastic choice for larger groups.
7 Wonders is a fast-paced civilization-building card game designed for three to seven players. In this game, each player represents one of the ancient civilizations and aims to develop their city while outmaneuvering opponents strategically. With its simultaneous turn-taking mechanics, 7 Wonders keeps all players engaged throughout the gameplay, even during other player’s turns. The dynamic nature of this game makes it perfect for larger groups where everyone can participate actively.
These are just a few examples of top strategy board games that offer an ultimate social experience for group play. While these games have different themes and mechanics, they all provide players with opportunities for collaboration, competition, and shared experiences. Whether you’re planning a game night with friends or looking to expand your collection of group strategy board games, these choices are sure to provide hours of excitement and camaraderie.
The Best of Both Worlds
Chess is undoubtedly one of the most popular strategy board games, but what if you’re looking for something that combines the classic gameplay of chess with unique elements and mechanics? There are several strategy board games that offer an exciting blend of chess-like gameplay and innovative twists, providing players with a fresh gaming experience.
These games incorporate elements from chess while introducing new rules, strategies, and challenges. If you’re a fan of chess or looking to expand your strategy game collection, these hybrid board games are definitely worth considering.
Shogi, also known as Japanese chess, is a captivating game that shares many similarities with chess. It is played on a larger 9×9 board and features pieces with various abilities. One key difference in Shogi is the concept of ‘drops.’
Captured pieces can be reintroduced into the game by placing them on vacant squares on the player’s side of the board. This adds an extra layer of strategic depth as players must carefully consider whether to capture or drop pieces. Shogi requires players to think ahead and plan their moves meticulously, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more complex version of chess.
Xiangqi, commonly known as Chinese chess, offers an exciting twist on the traditional game of chess. Played on a 9×10 board, Xiangqi features unique pieces and an objective similar to that of chess – checkmate the opponent’s general (king) piece. However, there are some significant differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
One distinct feature is the river that divides the board into two halves at the center line. The presence of this river impacts movement restrictions for certain pieces, introducing additional tactical considerations. The elephant piece in Xiangqi has limited mobility as it can only move within its designated palace area on two diagonals.
Arimaa is a modern strategy board game created with the intention of challenging artificial intelligence. Inspired by chess, Arimaa has straightforward rules and simple pieces, making it easy for beginners to learn. However, what sets Arimaa apart is its modular aspect: players can set up the game using their preferred arrangement of pieces on a standard 8×8 board.
This element eliminates the need for computer analysis and prevents AI from dominating the gameplay. Arimaa requires players to adapt to different starting setups, adding immense depth and strategic possibilities.
These hybrid strategy board games offer a unique blend of chess-like gameplay and twists that make them stand out among other strategy games. Whether you enjoy the classic feel of Shogi, the tactical considerations in Xiangqi, or the varied setups in Arimaa, these games provide a fresh experience while still stimulating your strategic thinking abilities.
So if you’re looking to enhance your gaming collection with something that combines elements of chess with new challenges, these strategy board games are worth exploring.

Adventure & Adrenaline
"Life is either a great adventure or nothing" — Helen Keller
Africa is the home of adventure and there certainly is no shortage of things to do to raise the adrenaline. Nothing beats an African safari to get your pulse racing and your heart pounding. There is something quite primal about looking into the fierce eyes of a lion, even if it is from the safety of your open 4x4 safari vehicle with your experienced ranger right beside you.
After that, why not take a plunge off a bridge? Zimbabwe has the most iconic Bunjee Jump in the world off Victoria Falls Bridge where your heart will pound as loud as Victoria Falls and your blood will rush as fast as the waters in the Zambezi Gorge. If you consider that to be child's play, then you cannot get a higher commercial Bunjee Jump in the world than Bloukrans in South Africa.
What about White Water Rafting in some of the largest commercial rapids in the world in the Zambezi Gorge? Or Shark Cage Diving with the ocean's apex predator, the Great White Shark? Ever consider tracking the Big 5 on foot? How about spending the night out in the open in the middle of the African bush with only the stars as company and all the creatures that call out to you in the dark?
If you have the heart for it, we have the adventure and adrenaline experience just for you!

Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co., Stamford, Connecticut - 2
movements, Type G
In 1887, Yale patented a time lock design that would mark a new direction for
Yale and, eventually, the entire time lock industry: its Type B and Type C time
locks, which went into production in 1888. Based on pocket watch movements
rather than on the larger clock movements of the Pin Dials, these smaller-format
movements were inherently suited to be individually replaceable or "modular"
movements. These were also the smallest format three movement time locks made to
that time. Yale would not have a smaller three movement design for bolt dog
release until the model T321 introduced about 1900 and would never surpass the
compact Yale C and E designs for the automatic release function. No other time
lock manufacturer made a smaller three movement lock.
With the introduction of the Type D, Type E and Type G time locks, Yale debuted
their own line of automatic bolt motors. These automatics were
soon popular with banks and businesses with regular hours, used in the new
"solid door" safes, a safe with no key hole or combination lock spindle,
handle or any other connection to the outside, that relied solely on the
high-quality time lock and automatic bolt motor. (1)
The line of Yale Type B through E and EE time locks pictured,
upper row from left to right. The lower row shows A and G.
Only the Type B through EE series went into production.
The A was a unique patent prototype
piece and was never slated for production. The G was only made as
salesman's samples. At the present time only one Type
C, EE and complete G has been found. Like the EE shown, Yale did make one or
two BB, and three DD locks, none of which are known to survive. There were
no records of a CC being made. These facts makes this collection unique in that it
contains the most complete set of all the examples extant. No records for or examples of
a Type F are known.
Yale's Type G time lock was introduced concurrently with the D and E, in
1888. (There is no record of a Yale Type F.) The Type G, which used two
seventy-two hour modular Waltham made pocket watch movements, was Yale's
smallest time lock to date. Its dial attributes a patent to Stockwell, but
no Type G-specific patent has been identified. Like the Types Dand E, the
two Type G movements each have an up/down power reserve indicator and are
wound simultaneously by the single central key-driven arbor, the same design
as used in the Type D and E. Interestingly, American Waltham Watch Co, had
specific names for each damascening pattern that they used on movements; the
pattern used on the movements for the Types B through G was designated
Yale's Type E
offered the option of a key and combination-free door too, but it was large,
requiring even more space than earlier models. For smaller safes, Yale
introduced the Type G with with the same benefits of the Type E, but in a
more compact format albite with two rather than three movements.
As with the Types D and E, production of the Type G ended in 1891 and was
probably considered unsuccessful: only twenty two Type Gs seem to have been
made, with two consigned, but none known to be sold. (1)
Front elevation of the Type G. Note the position of the stop flag at the 3:30
position on the dial rim which had to
be positioned so as to always be ahead of the pointer to perform its function.
The flag is currently at 19 hours and so the operator could simply set the dial
to that position without worrying about overwinding. The flag could be set for
any hour via a set of seventy-two holes on the rear of the dial, see photo
Front elevation of the Type G with door opened.
The first photo shows the rear of the time lock. Note the similarity to that
of the Type E
where both springs are wound simultaneously and the use of the wiper to
trigger the bolt release. The bolt trigger fits within the bottom of the
case and is located within the recess behind the wiper. Next a section of the rear dial showing the holes
to secure the position of the stop flag. The drilled detents shown on the Type D performs
this same function.
The example of Yale's Type G shown here controls a Yale No. 2 bolt motor,
allowing the time lock to be used independently of any combination lock. It
is the only known complete example of a Type G to survive. As shown by the
heavy wooden case this was a salesman's sample It is believed that Yale
mounted many if not all of their samples in similar cases, yet this is the
only Yale time lock salesman's case to survive.
The first photo shows the bolt motor winding handle in the stowed position.
Next an exterior shot of the case, of course the case lock is also a Yale.
Yale Type G, 1889. The Yale Type G was designed with a release to be used with an
automatic bolt motor. The company of E. Howard & Co. and later, after 1902,
Seth Thomas supplied nearly all of the movements for Yale time locks (until
the 1950's when movements from Switzerland were used). An exception are the
Yale Type B through G models which used a modified version of a pocket
watch; size #14, model 84 movements by American Waltham Watch Co. A smaller
Waltham movement was also later extensively used in Mosler
time locks. The movements were designed with anti-magnetic qualities -
cutting edge technology for the day. This would be the smallest time lock
made by Yale until the introduction of the T221 model in 1920. This model as
were all the Type a through G models were not successful, and while
twenty-two were ultimately produced, it appears that most if not all were
installed into salesman's sample cases and none were actually sold. This is
the only complete model known and is the same as the example illustrated in
American Genius, page 248-249. A lone movement
is found in the Harry Miller Collection, see below. 5 1/2"w x 2 3/4"h x 2 1/2"d Case #22, movement plate #12G,
consecutive movements #4527238 and #4527239.file
An interesting aside is the fact that both Seth Thomas and E.
Howard were companies that made a full line of clocks and watches. From large tower clocks
(for public buildings) to domestic clocks to watches as well as movements for time locks.

Expert calls for better access to water and sanitation to save lives in Kiribati
UN special rapporteur Catarina de Albuquerque was in Kiribati in late July where she urged the government to prioritize sanitation to save lives. Gerry Adams spoke to Ms. Albuquerque about her visit to the country, which faces challenges related to poor water and sanitation, including an elevated rate of child mortality.
New bridge improves livelihoods for Cambodian villages
Delivering a baby is strenuous enough, but imagine spending two hours on a motorbike, a ferry and a rickshaw just to get to the nearest health centre to give birth. That's what happened to 26-year old So phorn when she delivered her first baby three years ago in Cambodia. Such journeys are now relegated to the past, thanks to a new bridge spanning the 40-metre wide Kampong Sdam river, thus linking two communes in and improving the lives of their residents. It was built through support from the UN Development Programme and the European Union.

An expert in addiction and substance abuse has expressed that troubled singer Britney Spears’ problems could have their roots in her childhood. Dr. Drew Pinsky said that the traumas in the 25-year-old pop star’s past, her father’s substance abuse, and a family history of mental imbalance, might explain her current mental state.
The expert added that he was sure the star had sought treatment for drug problems at clinics in the past, adding that childhood troubles would make it harder for her to kick the habit.
“She’s sort of our new Michael Jackson,” Usmagazine.com quoted Dr. Pinsky, as saying.
Dr Pinskey further said that genetics may have led to the star's alleged problems with substance abuse.
"At least 60 per cent of addiction is accounted for on the basis of genetics. I've never treated an addict that didn't have a family history of the disease. You have to inherit it from somewhere,” he said.
"It's how her father treated her, it's the divorce and it's the genetics,” he added.
“She has a parent with an addiction. Just by having a parent with addiction puts you at about a 50 percent risk for having your own addiction problem,” he said.

This is Maze, the devil’s protector, from the new TV show Lucifer. She’s a demon in the form of a very hot, dangerous woman. She’s stuck in Los Angeles watching Lucifer’s back while he’s on vacation from Hell sorting out some personal issues. At one point Maze takes Lucifer’s brother to a coffee shop called Beelzebeans, and explains why she loves it.
“This is my favorite place in the city. Look at them on their laptops, writing the next great screenplay, torturing themselves with the dreams, they know, deep down, they will never achieve. Reminds me of home.”
Home for Maze is Hell, a place souls go to be tortured. At least here on Earth, tortured souls have a chance at redemption and the ability to achieve their dreams. No, it’s not easy, and there is plenty of struggle in store for those of us who listen to the Muse and pursue our dreams of writing, performing, and being more than we are.
But in Hell there is no Muse. Only Maze, the demon who loves to see the suffering that comes from self-doubt. As long as we mortals listen to the Muse and chase our dreams, we are safe. But in the quiet moments when we are not striving, we are vulnerable. That’s when self-doubt can creep in and whittle away at us. Continue reading Self-Doubt

That's my 3 year old son with his face in my carrot juice! He wasn't trying to drink it, he was blowing on it like it was hot. That carrot juice had lemons, kale, spinach, cilantro, and lettuce in it. I've also been drinking green smoothies with bananas, kiwi, kale, and spinach.
On Saturday, I had cooked food. I was feeling very lightheaded while I was at Mystickal Voyage doing readings. I could feel all my energy up in my head and crown. So I got Schezuan tofu and asked them to put vegetables in it. I felt better within 10 minutes.
I hope no one is too disappointed with me for saying that. I used my intuition to decide what I needed in that moment, and that worked. On Sunday, I was right back on the cleanse. I made falafels, with tomatoes, cucumbers and a house dressing.
But I have been REALLY emotional lately. So much has happened in the past two months that I've had trouble processing it all. Some has been wonderful, some not so wonderful. As an intuitive, I witness some pretty amazing stuff. Then when I turn around and look at my personal life, some things are not so amazing. The dichotomy is getting to me.
I finished the fifth round of edits for my Mocha Angels book tonight. Looking at it again, I realize I'm not living all that I've received. Mocha Angels was channeled back in 2005 when I was going through the worst of the drama with my disabled relatives. I mean, they were bringing the noise and bringing the funk, for real. I'd just had a baby. I wasn't getting any sleep, and I had to contend with other folks dysfunctions every day. My house was not a happy place to be. There were days that I hated coming home because I was never sure how my relatives would behave. One thing was consistent though: their behavior was never, ever positive.
Mocha Angels is very much along the same line as The Secret and Ask and it is Given, but in a 365 day Daily Word format. But I channeled my messages before either of those two products were released. I look at the messages and sometimes I can't believe they came through me. The two great messages of the book are:
-manifest the life that you really want with the power of your thoughts
-love everyone you meet, whether they love you or not
That love thing...I've been witholding love from my relatives. They have brought so much drama...worthy of a book as my mother and some friends have told me. But love is the singularly consistent messgage of the Mocha Angels. Love. Just love them, even if they don't love you. Love is the healing balm of all wounds. Love creates miracles. Love is God's first, middle, and last name. Love will heal your family.
(Okay....had to break because I was crying. I'm back now.)
And the other thing is I don't tell a lot of people about what I do for a living. When asked, I say I'm a yoga teacher. I am a yoga teacher, but most of my income comes from doing readings. When I was editing the book tonight, the December 3 message was this:
Fear not your own truth, especially if it differs greatly from the masses. You think you are all alone in your truths. You are not. Your personal truth was given to you in order to heal yourself, heal others, and live out loud. Manifest greatness by being yourself.
When other people read me, they always say the same thing: speak your personal truth. I've been holding back. I speak freely when I'm around people I know agree with me. But if I'm not sure, I hold back and keep quiet. I just need to be myself and live my life according to my personal experiences, which have shaped my truths.
And love my in-laws.

They’re also one of the oldest, following Davy’s incandescent light by only 30 years in 1832. But unlike inefficient, costly incandescent bulbs which became illegal to sell anywhere in the European Union in 2012, DC motors are ubiquitous, environmentally-friendly, and an essential component of dozens of consumer and industrial appliances.
Put simply, a DC motor is a machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy, which can be used to turn wheels, gears, and produce change, and although the basic design has remained unchanged since the early 19th century, myriad refinements and improvements have made the technology more efficient and effective.
Brushed Vs Brushless
Electric motors rely on magnets and use magnetism to create motion. In a brushed DC motor, permanent magnets surround a spinning armature containing an electromagnet. A current passing through the electromagnet, causing the armature to rotate. Spring-loaded brushes allow the electromagnet to maintain contact with the power source while it is rotating, without the need for permanent wiring, which would quickly become tangled. The brushes, however, eventually degrade due to constant friction, winding issues, and sparking.
Brushless motors are a more recent invention and make the process more reliable, more efficient, and less noisy. They are also lighter, while delivering the same power output, and there are no brushes to wear out. In brushless motors, a stationary ring of electromagnetic coils is energised sequentially, causing a shell of permanent magnets to rotate around it. Electronic controllers are used to program the order in which the coils are energised.
Brushed DC motors are known for their simplicity. Image courtesy of ISL Products International.
ISL Products International has been a manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components since 1975 and is headquartered in New York, with factories and offices around the world. It supplies standard 'off-the-shelf' components and 'value-added' components, where customers can specify and customise items, including of course motors—two of which, as discussed, are brushed and brushless.
So the question arises: which motor is right for you?
Brushed motors from ISL have the advantages of being low cost, instantly compatible with most applications across industry, and are extremely durable. Their simple design means that they require only basic motor controllers, and in many cases, can be used without one. ISL distinguishes itself from the rest of the market by recognising that often, a one size fits all approach is not the best solution, and the company allows customers to specify their motors down to the smallest detail. Among other options, buyers can choose the brush material, bearing type, shaft material, the power characteristics including power, current, and torque, physical dimensions, and connectors. Brushed DC motors from ISL are most suited for installation in ATMs, vehicles, and consumer electronics.
ISL’s brushless offerings are suited to applications where the speed and power delivered by the motor will be varied, and they rely on an electronic controller to accomplish this. Typically low maintenance, low noise, and compact, brushless ISL motors are employed in precise industrial, medical and commercial applications such as drones, printers, copiers, and robotics. As with all ISL products, the brushless DC motors are highly customisable, and engineers are able to advise customers on the best solution for specific problems and applications.
