By the time you read this the 2014/15 club fishing competition year will be over and you will have to wait until the Presentation Night in September to find out who the most talented lucky winners are so good luck all. Remember if you have been lucky enough to fish the last part of the fishing year and have made some captures, the paperwork needs to be to the recorder by 14th July. Don't forget!!
The June outing at Narooma was again a great success with enough people attending that we needed both Olympic Cabins and had little room to spare. Although it was a little chilly in the mornings, it could have been even more so for those of us that did not bring enough bedding. The days did bring on some great weather and the seas were calm and kind to all with a few nice captures for the board.

As I was looking for the fundamental elements of storytelling in my original post, “Making a List and Checking it Twice”, the seventh point I mentioned was Conflict. I have found quite a few interesting points on this subject during my research, and I wish to share them with you today.
What I have learned recently is that Conflict is not just about pitting two forces against each other and seeing what happens. There are multiple levels to Conflict that must be addressed in order to make a story not only believable, but interesting.
Conflict in literature is the interaction between two opposing forces that have incompatible or contradictory objectives. In a storyline, this phenomenon is observable when the protagonist is confronted by a conflicting force or an antagonist, which hinders the progress between them and their goal.
The Conflict is an essential element of a storyline. Previously, I explained how the Plot was a series of events within a story, and that Characters were responsible for taking actions in order to progress through those events. The purpose of the Conflict is to motivate those Characters, in order to give them a reason as to why they wish to take action. The possible resolution of the Conflict is the goal of the main Character, and the reason why the audience keeps reading. It also suggests the protagonists may not succeed in achieving these actions, thus creating uncertainty and tension. Without Conflict, a story has no purpose other than to be informative.
A story is also not limited to a single Conflict, although one often takes center stage over the others. Conflict in narrative comes in many forms and can usually be identified by one of the six basic types of confrontation:
Person against Person: In this category, conflict involves stories where the central character is challenged by another character. This type of external confrontation is very common in traditional literature and can manifest itself in various forms (physical combat, competition, rivalry, etc).
Person against Self: A “person vs. self” conflict happens when the main character battles him or herself. They may find themselves plagued with doubt or are faced with a difficult choice. Though this struggle is internal, the conflict is usually associated with an external issue, and may involve other characters.
Person against Society: This category is when a person confronts a man-made institution (such as law, tradition, government, slavery, etc). In stories where the conflict is against society, the main characters are forced to make moral choices against social rules that prevent them from reaching their own goals.
Person against Nature: A “person vs. nature” conflict is an external struggle placing the main character against an animal or a force of nature. These types of stories usually involves survival against the elements, such as natural disasters, storms or harsh living conditions.
Person against Supernatural: This type of conflict involves the protagonist fighting forces that typically defy the laws of nature and are beyond scientific understanding. The Supernatural is a very broad category, and can include anything from ghosts, to monsters, to aliens. Some sources I have come across also include God and religion in this category.
Person against Technology: Here, the main character must face some form of technological obstacle. These stories can vary between a villain using technology against society, robots attempting to take over the world, or the main character struggling to deal with the new technology of a changing world.
Identifying the type of conflict is pretty straightforward, and finding a solution for how the characters will resolve the issue is essential to any storyline. However, after studying the notion of Conflict even further, I discovered that it can be expressed through different perspectives, giving the story a well-balanced and complete feel to it. I learned that this technique has been used in movies and books for years, but have only now made the association.
There are four areas that help define Conflict: Situation, Fixed Attitude, Activity and Thought Process. If all four perspectives are covered and linked together, then the confrontation will be exposed in its entirety, allowing the audience a better understanding of the Conflict. These four elements can be used in many different ways, and depending where the focus of the conflict is, it can change the feel of your story.
Source : http://dramatica.com/
The Situation: Refers to the fixed state someone or something finds themselves in at the beginning of the story. The situation may be good, bad, or neutral, but the focus must be on the exploration of said situation, not on how it is changing. The Situation can be anything from where a character is in their life or how a certain institution functions. If we were to connect these to a conflict, we could show how the character is unhappy with his life, or how an institution is going out of business.
- The Fixed Attitude: Refers to a fixed mindset or attitude, that can be represented in the story by either a single person or a group of people. The Fixed Attitude is usually a given and not re-evaluated, and can be negative or positive. An example of a problematic Fixed Attitude in a Narrative could be a father’s condescending manners towards his child or a company that refuses to modernize its technology in order to compete in todays market.
- The Activity: Refers to an event or endeavour, which brings (or forces) change to the current Situation. Whereas the Situation is fixed, Activity is dynamic, causing things to evolve and change. An Activity can be the cause of Conflict, examples could be illegal smuggling in a neighborhood or a rebellion against the Government.
- The Thought Process: Represents the process of consideration, debating between logical and emotional aspects of a problem, in the hopes of arriving at a conclusion. The purpose of this process is not to focus on the decision, so much as to examine it from all perspectives. A problematic Thought Process in the Narrative can be seen as conflicting ideologies or one party attempting to manipulate the other.
When balanced properly, an effective story can deliver substance and meaning to the Audience. The patterns of conflict, as explained by Dramatica, allows the writer to broaden their imagination, to explore the different angles, thus reaching a level of originality difficult to obtain otherwise.
In closing, I enjoyed this lesson, as I learned a lot in the process. A story would be boring without conflict, which is probably why all stories worth telling have a problem to solve. While conflicts may not always be resolved by a story's end, the resolution of a conflict creates closure, which gives the reader a sense of accomplishment.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson! Until next time.

Oh to be stranded
On a group of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are suddenly stranded by,
as you might expect, a shipwreck:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 French men and 1 French woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman
2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman
2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese woman
2 American men and 1 American woman
2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman
One month later on these same absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things
One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a menage-a-trois.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.
The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, and another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and started
The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in
order to supply employees for their stores.
The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide because the American woman keeps endlessly
complaining about her body; the true nature of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of
fulfillment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend
respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; but how her relationship with her mother is improving and how
at least the taxes are low and it isn't raining.
The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and set
up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres
of coconut whisky. But they're satisfied because at least the English aren't getting laid either.

Early in the pandemic some were saying that COVID was just like the flu, not worse. Well … here we are, three years later. The data say they were “dead” wrong.
A research letter just published in the journal JAMA reported the mortality results from analyzing over 11,000 hospitalizations due to either COVID or influenza from October 2022 to January 2023. The cases were from the Veterans Administration, St. Louis (Missouri) Health Care System, and the report was authored by Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly and colleagues.
The study checked records from VA databases of 8,996 COVID diagnoses and 403 flu diagnoses at admission. 5.97% of COVID patients died within 30 days of admission and 3.75% died from flu in 30 days after admission.
The raw numbers for deaths were 538 vs. 76, or 7 times more patient deaths from COVID. This difference translated into a 61% higher risk of death in the COVID group. This validates the statement that COVID is deadlier than influenza.
People are also reading…
The COVID death rate in this study is still vastly lower than in 2020, the pandemic’s beginning. At that time death rates ranged from 17% to 21%, depending on the study, roughly 3 times higher than this study. Flu death rates were virtually the same, with 3.8% in 2020. The authors wrote, “The decline in death rates among people hospitalized for COVID may be due to changes in the SARS-CoV-2 variants, increased immunity levels from vaccination and prior infection, and improved clinical care.”
Increased risk of death in COVID vs. flu was greatest among patients not vaccinated against COVID. Risk significantly decreased with the number of COVID-19 vaccinations. The authors wrote that these are, “findings that highlight the importance of vaccination in reducing risk of COVID-19 death”.
COVID patients were also at higher risk of dying vs. flu patients if they were over 65 or received no outpatient treatment, like Paxlovid or Lagevrio (molnupiravir) pills or remdesivir intravenously.
These data and numbers show us that COVID is not done with us yet, even though many people seem to be done with it. In the week ending April 5 approximately 1,700 people in the U.S. died from COVID. Yet, the U.S. national emergency measures to respond to the pandemic officially ended when President Biden signed a congressional resolution to bring it to a close, even though he personally opposed the closing. The public health aspect of it is set to expire May 11.
We really don’t know where we are statistically in relation to the virus activity, because records are not being kept nearly as much, people are not getting or doing tests nor reporting home test results. Because our biological relationship with the viral variants is a much less vicious expression of disease than it was, we are becoming nonchalant about having it. Some celebrities are even advocating not doing anything preventively and/or downplaying the viral presence.
Likely, a lot of folks are getting infected, experiencing mild illness, not testing for it, and getting over it, which is much different than the bad old days. But some immune systems don’t handle an infection well, and their owners die from it. There are no tests to do to determine how you will respond to a COVID infection. Ya gets what ya gets.
The VA study has limits, as they all do, because it’s an older, predominantly male population. In this one the average age was 73, 71% were white, 23% black, and 95% were male. About 63% were current or former smokers. (As a medical student in 1972 on a “rotation” in our VA hospital, I vividly recall a patient being pushed down the hall in a wheelchair, on oxygen, puffing away at a cigarette.)
This paper makes a good point that COVID isn’t just like a “cold.” It is more lethal than flu in this population and is not to be sneezed at. If you get a “worse cold,” do your testing, not just for yourself, but to try to protect those around you. They count as well, better alive than dead. I’ll end on that cheerful note.

I am sorry to hear you are under such stress with the threat of staff cuts.
Do you have a colleague, a manager or an HR person at work who you feel is approachable and could listen to your concerns? Finding the right person to talk to and explore potential solutions can be a great way to begin to alleviate stress of this nature.
We can be fearful of expressing our concerns but often they are much worse when left unspoken and playing tricks with our minds.
I do appreciate your thoughts about going to a doctor. However, if you do decide to see your doctor I am sure they would respect your concerns and be guided by you as to which course of action you would like to take. They are there to support your health rather than risk making it worse.
Perhaps you might prefer to see a Medical Herbalist if not? They can take the time to run through your history and provide a protocol to support your specific needs without anything going on your medical record. To find a practitioner in your area visit: http://www.nimh.org.uk/
Other potential resources to think about are counselling (to look into the problems causing you stress) Life Coaching and NLP (to help find practical solutions that work for you (http://nlplifecoachdirectory.co.uk).
It is important to tackle stress before it leads to more complex problems both physically and mentally so I hope you find the route which works best for you.

This week I am bringing in Irene Lyon to talk about working with trauma. A little bit about Irene, she is a nervous system specialist and therapeutic coach who helps everyone — from the mom next door to the next big thought leaders — transform their bodies, businesses, relationships and lives through regulating their nervous systems. Irene has intensively studied and practices the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing) and Kathy Kain (founder of Somatic Practice). Irene has a master’s degree in research in the fields of biomedical and health science. She regularly appears on podcasts and online summits teaching all things nervous system health, healing trauma and neuroplasticity.
In this episode we cover what got her working in the field of trauma, and then dive into the subject of procedural memory. I was fascinated by the mechanics of procedural memory and ever since that conversation I have been paying attention to how it might play into my life and the lives of my clients. She also talks about the fight, flight, or freeze response. And we learn about the ACE study, which stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences, and the implications from that body of work.
Here are some resources she mentioned:
1) Dr. Mate’s first book, When The Body Says No – Understanding The Stress-Disease Connection
2) Dr. Mate’s website
3) The Need For Authenticity.
4) Podcast episode: Origins of *The ACE Study*
5) Ted Talk: How childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime
In this episode:
[2:11] Her history that led her to working with trauma.
[8:16] First session with Feldenkrais practitioner
[15:45]} Working with a ski patroller
[22:15] Procedural memory in car accident
[28:56] Using procedural memory in the massage room
[33:58] How to tell if a subtle client moment is from trauma
[39:33] List of trauma events that get overlooked
[47:24] Fight, flight, freeze
[58:35] Irene’s share about failure
[1:04:14] The ACE study
Important quotes from Irene
“I was a highly trained exercise scientist. So understood fitness from a very high level, but I didn’t understand how the body is supposed to move until I started the feldenkrais work.”
“When we start to get those traumatic memories out, it literally starts to unclog the system.”
“If the practitioner doesn’t have the sense and perspective to know what to look for, they will often miss the tiny little flickers of the eye, or twitch of the head that wants to look away.”
“The moment you work with any human being, you are working with their entire nervous system.”
“We all have trauma. I have yet to meet anyone that doesn’t have something.”
“Its hard to look at things that we’ve not wanted to look at. Because we didn’t look at them for a reason.”
“A large proportion of our population is living in what we call functional freeze.”
“We are in this conundrum where most of us have to shut down in some way to get through the day and pay the bills.”

This being the 50th anniversary of the sublime musical partnership of Brazilian brothers Sergio and Odair Assad (Duo Assad) we’re occasionally highlighting videos of the pair in action. In this one, however, the spotlight is on a trio: the Assads are joined by their countryman, Romero Lubambo, who has been an in-demand performer and session guitarist in New York since the early ’80s (while remaining popular in his homeland, too). Here, they perform Carlos Lyra’s aptly titled “Influencia do Jazz,” (arranged by Sergio) at the One World Theatre in Austin, Texas, on October 21, 2015, just a few weeks ago. The concert was presented by Austin Classical Guitar.
An exclusive interview with Romero Lubambo appears in the Winter 2015 issue of Classical Guitar, out now.

The old saying “comedy is tragedy plus time” applies to Amazon’s miniseries “A Very English Scandal.”
It just seems that not enough time has passed for the makers to get a grip on the plot.
A bizarre tale even by today’s standards, “A Very English Scandal” tells the true story of a British member of Parliament who was leading a secret homosexual life in the 1960s and conspired with the dumbest crooks this side of a “Scooby-Doo” cartoon to kill his ex-lover a decade later.
Hugh Grant (“Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Four Weddings and a Funeral”), in a rare TV appearance, stars as Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe. Thorpe is a force to be reckoned with, a supporter of Europe and immigrant rights, a thundering narcissist and a charismatic black hole who seems to inspire the men around him to all sorts of unethical behavior.
He has good reason to hide his private life. Homosexuality was not only condemned, it was met with hefty criminal penalties at the time this three-hour miniseries opens in 1965.
Norman Scott (Ben Whishaw, “London Spy”) is a stablehand who becomes ensnared in Thorpe’s web. “Now I’m going to kiss you and you will enjoy it,” Thorpe tells him, in perhaps the least romantic moment ever captured for television.
Scott suffers from bouts of emotional instability, and their relationship craters. But while Scott leaves Thorpe’s life, he’s never far from his mind. As the years pass, as Thorpe’s star rises, he becomes obsessed with silencing Scott before he can expose his double life. Killing Scott, he tells one shocked colleague, would be “no worse than shooting a sick dog.”
Late in the miniseries, as his secrets unravel, Thorpe finds unexpected understanding from his second wife, and Grant stops and displays all sorts of palpable amazement. The actor has a grand time, and occasionally you will, too.
But “Scandal,” based on the book by John Preston, written by Russell T. Davies (“Doctor Who”) and directed by Stephen Frears (“The Queen”), never settles on a tone.
One moment, it’s delivering sly, savage moments worthy of Ricky Gervais’ “The Office.” Then it becomes earthquake serious as one heterosexual politician reveals why he wants to decriminalize homosexuality.
Scott was something of a pioneer, a man ahead of his time who refused to deny his sexuality. The real man still lives and reportedly has expressed mixed feelings about this adaptation of his life. It’s easy to see why.
“A Very English Scandal” plays too much with tragedy.

Gulfstream Says PlaneDeck Enhances Aircraft’s Safety, Efficiency, Reliability
The FAA and EASA have both granted approval to Gulfstream to retrofit its GV, GIV, GIV-SP, G400 and G300 aircraft with the cockpit upgrade known as PlaneDeck.
The optional upgrade, an exclusive for Gulfstream operators, converts the primary flight display from cathode ray tube to liquid crystal. Gulfstream’s six-panel display configuration remains the same. Along with improved clarity of the displays, PlaneDeck offers operators enhanced safety, efficiency and reliability with the integration of XM graphical weather; electronic charts and maps, which will be certifiable as paperless; and video displays, accessible through all-new dual cursor controls. Minimal pilot training is necessary.
“This is great news for the more than 700 GV, GIV, GIV-SP, G300 and G400 operators worldwide,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “PlaneDeck’s advanced technology offers many safety benefits and improves an aircraft’s efficiency and reliability.”
The PlaneDeck installation complements upcoming FAA NextGen requirements, such as the Future Air Navigation System 1/A data link, Wide Area Augmentation System-Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance and Required Navigation Performance. According to the FAA, which projects increased business jet and airline travel in the next 20 years, the use of satellite-based technology will help reduce gridlock, in the air and at airports.
The installation of PlaneDeck on Gulfstream GV, GIV, GIV-SP, G400 and G300 aircraft has already begun. Installation time is 10 to 12 business days.

How to buy Belkin phone adapters to get your phone out of the box
- by admin
Belkin is releasing adapters to make it easy to connect and disconnect your phone.
The adapters, which are available for pre-order at Belkin.com and Belkin’s website, have a built-in power button that will let you turn on the device if you don’t have a charger, and a micro USB port that plugs into your phone to connect to the internet.
Belkin says the adapters will work with the phone’s current SIM card, which means that they’ll work with both the Verizon and AT&T phones.
There’s no word on how long the adapters are expected to be in stock, though.
The company’s new adapters will also be compatible with newer Belkin phones, including the Belkin Phone XL, the Belk Phone, the Blackberry Curve, the HTC Evo 4G LTE, and the Galaxy S3.
Belk also released a similar adapter for the Belton.
Belkins new phone adapter is currently priced at $39.99.
Belton has already announced its phone adapters will soon be compatible on both Android and iOS, which should make this adapter an easy way to get Belkin devices on the go.

A lawyer representing two lawyers filed a lawsuit against a lawyer-rating Web site founded by a lawyer.
That was our opener from a Law Blog post this summer, and it might just be our favorite lead ever. We had a lot of fun reporting on Avvo, the new free site that rates and profiles lawyers. A couple of attorneys were unhappy with their ratings and, as attorneys are wont to do, sued. Seattle lawyers John Henry Browne and Alan Wenokur, represented by class-action lawyer Steve Berman, claimed the Avvo site is deceptive and unfair and violates state consumer protection laws. Click here for a copy of the complaint.
Yesterday a federal judge in Seattle dismissed the lawsuit. “As I have said from the beginning, this was a case that never should have been filed,” said Mark Britton, Avvo’s CEO and a former lawyer, in a press release. “We are gratified that the court agrees. We can now get back to serving consumers rather than litigating with lawyers that want to stop our service.”
In its motion to dismiss, Avvo argued that its publication of attorney disciplinary information as well as opinions on lawyers is protected by the First Amendment. The court agreed. Click here for the order from Judge Robert Lasnik, and here for an interesting post from Britton on the Avvo blog.
“This is a huge win for our First Amendment rights to express our opinions as Americans,” said Bruce E.H. Johnson of Davis Wright Tremaine, which represented Avvo. “Judge Lasnik’s well reasoned and thoughtful opinion confirms our view that lawyers cannot exempt themselves from public scrutiny.”

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been in the spotlight in the last years as promising candidates for a plethora of different biomedical applications, for both imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) and therapeutic purposes (e.g. magnetofluidic hyperthermia, MFH). However, in order to impart the SPIONs the necessary stability and solubility, a coating of the iron oxide surface is needed. In this work we aimed at functionalizing SPIONs with a previously developed amphoteric poly(amidoamine), nicknamed ISA23: this polymer is synthesized by a stepwise Michael addition of 2-methylpiperazine onto bis(acryloamido)acetic acid, and was previously found to be biocompatible and to exhibit “stealth-like” properties once injected into animals, avoiding immediate identification and disposal after intravenous injection. These important characteristics would be imparted to the core/shell SPION@ISA23, improving this way their blood circulation times and, consequently, their potential usefulness for biomedical applications. Effective binding to the iron oxide surface was achieved functionalizing the polymer with cathecol moieties, whose high affinity towards iron is already exploited in a variety of natural siderophores. In order to introduce this functional group, nitrodopamine was chosen over dopamine thanks to its higher stability towards oxygen- and metal-catalyzed oxidation. Coupling of nitrodopamine to the free carboxylic group of the polymer, employing EDC-coupling chemistry, resulted in the functionalization of ca 15% of the repeating units. This polymer was then successfully employed for SPIONs coating, affording stable and water-dispersible nanoparticles, whose characterization is currently in progress.

Last year’s US election was such a dramatic spectacle that it was comparable to a live election show. Locally on November 4, the USA TODAY ballot counting screen suddenly showed a SF Express.
With its current efficiency and reputation, SF is the leader in China’s express industry.
According to media reports, Americans overseas can use international delivery services to return their mail-in ballots to the US or to US embassies and consulates. An American in China told the Global Times on Thursday under the condition of anonymity that he used EMS to deliver his ballot on October 9 from China’s Macao Special Administrative Region and it arrived in California on October 15.
DHL, UPS and FedEx have all grown into giants in the international logistics industry after decades or even centuries of precipitation, and their industry experience, financial resources and developed global logistics networks are far beyond the reach of SF Express.
- DHL was founded in 1969 and currently employs over 285,000 people worldwide, with over 450 transshipment centers, warehouses and distribution depots and 420 aircraft;
- Federal Express (FEDEX) was established in 1971 and now has over 138,000 employees, 50,000 delivery points, 671 aircraft and 41,000 vehicles worldwide;
- UPS was established in 1907 and now has 108,210 delivery vehicles, 657 aircraft and serves more than 220 countries and territories.
- SF Express was founded in 1993, and as of December 19, it has only 58 cargo planes, a difference of dozens of times with the other three.
Statistics show that in 2018, the three major multinational express logistics companies accounted for 90% of the global market share of international express, the revenue is several times that of SF.
In terms of the global logistics network, the first three international express have a developed logistics network, collection, transport and delivery of their own processing.
And SF International? Take shipping to the US for example, the first half of the collection and transportation is handled by SF Express itself, while the second half relies on UPS’s logistics network for operations
Without independent customs clearance capabilities and its own delivery network, it is difficult to achieve the desired stability in terms of timeliness and user experience.
No trade or entity or even service industry can be separated from logistics. Logistics causes trade to develop and trade drives a country’s economy.Only when SF has its own global logistics delivery network and perfect service system, can it really go to the international market and compete with several other old international couriers, and this day, SF needs to go a long long way.

Britain's Bianca Walkden has guaranteed at least a bronze medal at the World Taekwondo Championships in Russia.
Liverpudlian Walden, 23, beat Poland's Aleksandra Kowalczuk in the quarter-final of the +73kg division, striking a decisive shot with two seconds left.
Walkden meets Turkey's Nafia Kus, 20, in Saturday's semi-finals, as she bids to become only the second Briton to win a world title after Sarah Stevenson.
"Two more fights to go and I am not settling for bronze," said Walkden.
Meanwhile, fellow British hopes Georgia Barnes (-53kg) and Max Cater (-54kg), both from Southampton, exited on their World Championship debuts.
Stevenson won world titles at middleweight in 2001 and at welterweight in 2011.

Dude you ripped off http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/there_is_only_one_level ???
I took inspiration ;) And I had to come up with an idea for the game jam. I had additional plans to add some sort of story (inspired by portal) but the time was too short. Feel free to downvote my game if you don't like it.
honestly just disappointed, no credit where credit is due
Did you just make this account to write a negative comment on my game?
Btw. there are a lot of games out there which are inspired by others or rip offs of others. I made a game and I'm proud of it ;)
I did, I was pissed a classic game was getting reskinned without any credit.
Just because others are doing it doesn't mean its a legitimate strategy. ideation is an important part of game development and you failed it. There is a large difference between referencing and plagiarism and this is plagiarism
You should put a link to the original There Is Only One Level in the description. There is no shame in making a clone computer game, but there is shame in not giving credit where it's due. Do the right thing!

FOR four days in November, Paris will have the title “city of lights” stolen from it by Durham City, when light festival Lumiere comes to town.
Organised by Artichoke, the event showcases light installations and projections from dozens of artists that will illuminate the city’s famed Cathedral as well as various buildings, streets and bridges.
“Some of the highlights include an astonishing and awe-inspiring fire installation inside and around Durham Cathedral by French company Carabosse, and a vast illuminated waterfall by Canadian artist Peter Lewis,” says Artichoke co-director Nicky Webb.
“We involve local people in the festival, so there will be a wonderful opening lantern parade with more than 200 children and young people who have worked with Jo Pocock’s Liverpool Lantern Company to make their river-themed lanterns, and there are several local artists who have been commissioned to make work for the festival. Tracey Emin has lent one of her neon works, as has Martin Creed, Tim Etchells and Claire Fontaine.”
This is Lumiere’s second year with the inaugural event in 2009 attracting 75,000 visitors. Between 6pm and 11pm each evening the installations will be switched on, creating a breathtaking tableau across the city. Combining the city’s history with contemporary art creates a fairytale like atmosphere.
“The festival plays on this contrast between old and new… the installations bring alive often un-noticed buildings and bridges, and even vegetation, making people re-visit the familiar, and see it with new eyes.,” says Nikki.
The best place for viewing is across the river to the north where visitors will be able to take in the sight of the cathedral, bridge and medieval castle together and watch as the lights transform their majestic features.
Lumiere will take place from November 17 to 20.

The Leaders of Today: The 63rd Commission on the Status of Women
When women are empowered, societies are safer, more resilient, and more prosperous. Recognising and acting upon the idea that gender equality is not a women’s issue but a global issue, is at the heart of the Commission on the Status of Women.
Bringing the Local to the Global
Every March, the Commission on the Status of Women – the main UN body focused on promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women - holds its annual two-week session. This is a time for UN agencies, UN Member states, and civil society to convene at UN headquarters to discuss and shape global standards on gender equality, review progress and setbacks in implementing the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as to bring local voices and stories into the international spotlight.
This year, the 63rd session of the Commission on the Status of Women took place from March 11th to the 22nd. The priority theme was “Social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.” The broadness of the theme allowed for side events to cover diverse topics and intersect with other agendas such as climate change, the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, and youth, peace, and security.
Social Protection and Conflict Prevention go Hand in Hand
For GPPAC, the priority theme directly relates to our work on conflict prevention. In partnership with the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect (ICR2P) and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Office (FES), under the Prevention Up Front Alliance, we hosted a side event, “Sustainable Infrastructure for Gender Equality: Putting Prevention Up Front.” This event provided an opportunity for experts to share their experiences on how social protection relates to conflict prevention, as well as recommendations for removing current barriers and accelerating progress for gender equality. The event was moderated by Sharon Bhagwan Rolls, the Chairperson of GPPAC’s Board and Gender Liaison to the GPPAC's International Steering Group.
The panel of experts were diverse both geographically and in experience and each offered a unique perspective on the intersection between conflict prevention and the empowerment of women.
"Women “need knowledge about the systems” in order to effectively advocate for themselves." - Shirine el-Jurdi
Adriana Erthal Abdenur, from the Igarapé Institute (Brazil), spoke about the rising tensions on the Venezuelan-Brazilian border and concerning trends towards social conservatism. In South America, there are no reliable regional institutional arrangements, leaving the burden on national frameworks. Unfortunately, NAPs are lacking in the region and so Abdenur is seeking to learn from partners in West Africa. She hopes to strengthen these regional partnerships – with countries like Ghana and Kenya who have strong NAPs on WPS -- in order to transfer experiences, expertise, and best practices for developing Brazil’s own National Action Plan.
Kesia-Onam Bijoue Birch, from the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) and Women in Peacebuilding (WIPNET) (Ghana), highlighted that for the past 18 years, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and WANEP have partnered on an anonymous early warning system that allows individuals to report social and political concerns. The project exists both at the regional and state level but is driven by local and community engagement pointing out that it is not enough to collect information, but to link it with an informed response.
Shirine el-Jurdi, from the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and GPPAC (Lebanon), emphasized the need to understand the complex nature of conflict and, subsequently, the diverse needs of women in the MENA region. From occupation to displacement, from child labor to child marriage, women’s experiences and forms of restriction range throughout the region. According to el-Jurdi, women in the region, especially in conflict, do not have access international agreements, resolutions, and conventions that are vital tools for empowerment. Women “need knowledge about the systems” in order to effectively advocate for themselves.
As the youth representative on the panel, Eliška Jelínková, from the United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY) (Czech Republic), called attention to the “violence of exclusion” as a root cause of increasing mistrust in governments and formal institutions among young people. The efforts of young people are seen as unprofessional and illegitimate which leads many to occupy informal spaces, operate on low budgets, and rely heavily on volunteer efforts. Regardless, engaging young people is necessary for preventing violence conflict pointing out
“young people, especially young women, are not the leaders of tomorrow, they are the leaders of today.”
Based on their experiences and fruitful dialogue, the panel also offered a set of recommendations. First, recognizing its influential role, they suggested that media can be utilised to bring visibility to women’s experiences in conflict and post-conflict areas as well as facilitate information sharing and collective advocacy. Furthermore, they raised the importance of ensuring these spaces, especially social media platforms, are regulated and do not become another place for exclusion and inequality. Second, young people, especially young women, need to be taken seriously – by donors, the UN, national governments, and other civil society organisations -- and provided the opportunity to be decision makers in peace processes. Third, social protection systems must be unconditional and accessible to not just to the privileged. Finally, with global trends towards isolationism and conservatism, social protections must be institutionalised into national and regional government systems to avoid reversals and regression of progress. Even progressive spaces like CSW have seen a growing presence of right-wing conservative agendas and must be protected as inclusive forums for diverse voices.
A Landmark Year, Looking Forward to 2020
2020 will mark five years into achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, and the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The theme for the 64thsession of CSW will be a review of the implementation of the Beijing Platform and how gender equality can support the full realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Overall, 2020 will be a milestone to acknowledge progresses for the empowerment of women and girls. However, it also serves as a reminder, and hopefully a motivator, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to fully achieve gender equality.

|The purpose of the study is to set up an operation model for abstracting images obstructed by the buildings. The operational procedures are listed as following: (1) Registrate the layers of digital elevation model (DEM) and the building layer using a Geographic Information System (GIS), (2) Locate the elevation points of DEM inside each building sites, (3) Add the heights of the buildings to the elevation of the DEM, (4) Select the perspective position and compute the obstructed ground areas by the buildings, and (5) Extract the ground images from the related images of the buildings obstructed areas. A GIS software is used to perform data registration, spatial query, building height and ground elevation integration, the obstructed area computation. A digital processing software is used for extracting the images unobstructed area. The output of the procedures can be used for producing orthophoto of urban area to improve the image visibility.

The Carbrooke History and Heritage Group was formed in March 2012, as a result of the production of 'The Wayland Partnership Group Heritage books', which showed that a large number of people were interested in the heritage of Carbrooke and were keen to follow up on research produced for the book, as well as looking into other aspects of our heritage.
PRINCIPLES AND ACTIVITY OF THE GROUP
The Group has been established by and for the local community and will enable people to record their memories and experiences and demonstrate their pride in the local area. It will provide an opportunity for those involved to feel that they are valuable members of the community. The Group wants this activity to add to the quality of life and be enjoyable and worthwhile, linking the generations and using computer technology to record the past for future generations.
As a community archive project, all gathered information will be made available to those interested and it is hoped eventually to have it permanently available in the public domain and other community access venues, and on the internet. We aim to further expand the archive, enabling use by local schools and community groups for educational and reminiscence work.
The first meeting of the Carbrooke Heritage Group was held in Carbrooke School on 1st March 2012, with 10 people present.

Composer blog TSO Composers' School 2010 - Nicole Murphy
In early September I left warm, sunny Brisbane to brave the cold Hobart weather as a participant in the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra's 2010 Composers' School. The school was an invaluable opportunity to spend a week working with the dedicated and generous musicians of the TSO, conductor Kenneth Young and mentors Andrew Ford, James Ledger and Richard Mills.
Upon receiving the schedule for the week I realised how unique this program is for young composers. Having participated in several other orchestral training programs in the past, I was surprised to see how much time was scheduled with the orchestra throughout the week. We had the luxury of having four orchestral calls, and the time to make unlimited revisions to the works prior to the next rehearsal.
I was fortunate enough to be experiencing the second performance of my piece Border. The piece was commissioned for the MSO Cybec Series in 2008, and TSO were performing a revised section of the work. Despite the revisions I had made prior to arriving in Tasmania, there were still inherent problems with balance that needed to be addressed. The mentors were very helpful in suggesting alternate voicings that allowed the solo lines to be heard over the background textures, without altering the intent of the piece.
For the first time this year the program was divided into two streams: works for orchestra and works for voice and orchestra. Although my piece was part of the orchestral stream, I gained a vast amount of knowledge of the technique of writing for voice and orchestra, much of which can also be transferred to writing for voice with chamber ensembles. The orchestration sessions run by Richard Mills were immensely helpful in highlighting practical examples of the craft.
One of the aspects that I most look forward to when participating in a program such as this is the opportunity to spend time getting to know the other participants and their music. Spending time with fellow composers Anne Cawrse, Lorenzo Alvaro and Daniel Masmanian was an absolute delight and I am eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to hear new works by these composers.

The US Open can already be ruled out. The Open Championship? Time is rapidly running out for Tiger Woods to make his return from injury at or before the major’s return to the venue, Hoylake, where he last lifted the Claret Jug back in 2006.
Anyone who doubts the impact of a Woods Open absence need only have glanced at tournament adverts placed in the national media by the Royal & Ancient. It is the face of Woods, not the defending champion Phil Mickelson, which is most prominent.
As he gave his latest injury update this week, the most interesting aspect of Woods’s narrative didn’t actually surround timescales – or the lack of them. Instead, hearing Woods admit how much he is struggling without the regular companionship of all things golf was fascinating. It raised a key question; what will life be like for him as and when he has to give up the game, the one constant in his life since the moment he could walk?
The longer his injury troubles persist, the greater the prospect of Woods giving up golf through necessity rather than design. “I miss playing,” he said. “I miss being out there on the golf course and doing that. Forget about competing at the highest levels, I just miss being out there and just being around the golf course.
“As of right now, I can chip and putt, but that’s it. We are going to just take it slowly, and I don’t know how many more weeks I’m going to be at this pace. But at least I have something, so I’m able to actually get out there and chip and putt.”
On the struggles with his back, pre and post-surgery, Woods starkly pointed towards a situation that has been “debilitating initially, sore, painful”. He added: “The time right before the surgery, I really couldn’t do much. Getting out of bed was a task. So I was certainly doubtful at that point.
“But after I had the procedure it was immediate relief, and it’s just a matter of getting through that pain part. It wasn’t the shocking pain or debilitating pain, it was just pain from the surgery, from the incision, but it wasn’t like it was right before.”
Woods is available at an astonishing 10-1 on to make the United States Ryder Cup team. Any sum placed on that would be utterly illogical. If, and only if, Woods returns to the golf course in advance of September, he has serious ground to make up to force himself into Tom Watson’s thinking. Watson initially said Woods would be picked as a wildcard if fit, but then backtracked on that sentiment.
Given Woods’s recurring and ominous updates on his condition, it is impossible to make any case for him featuring at Gleneagles.
Caddies cut O’Grady some slack
Given the justifiably hard time given to the European Tour for their decision to re-start and complete the Madeira Islands Open despite the death from a heart attack of a caddie, Iain McGregor, it is only fair to recognise the subsequent apology by George O’Grady.
The Tour’s chief executive met angry members of the Caddies Association and Thomas Bjorn, who heads up the Players Committee. Bjorn was very close to McGregor.
“We had a full and frank meeting with chairman Gerry Byrne and his committee, a meeting which was understandably emotional at times and one during which I apologised to them for the hurt and upset caused by events in Madeira,” said O’Grady. “I completely understand the views of people who say that we should not have carried on.”
Byrne summed up the feelings of the caddies, while offering O’Grady some much-needed sympathy. He said: “While we understand that decisions have to be made at very short notice, it will come as no surprise to anyone that all European Tour caddies felt the wrong one was made in Madeira.
“We went into the meeting unhappy and it was emotional at times, but George’s humility and honesty in dealing with tough questions was greatly appreciated and it reassured us of the caddies’ important position within the Tour.”
This was a horribly unedifying episode for the Tour. O’Grady can count himself as extremely fortunate that the Caddies Association accepted his regret.
Let’s raise a glass to Jiménez
Any story relating to Miguel Ángel Jiménez apparently needs to be prefixed by the fact that he loves a cigar and a glass of red wine. Never mind tobacco and alcohol; the real story is the enduring, endearing on-course brilliance of a player who would have been perfectly entitled to have wound down his professional pursuits some time ago.
What should never be forgotten is how ferocious a competitor Jiménez is. That much was highlighted once more on Sunday, when the 50-year-old triumphed in a playoff to win the Spanish Open.
What a spell Jiménez is having. He now lies 25th in the world and is edging ever closer to an automatic Ryder Cup berth.

Caribbean Utilities Company has closed the first US$40 million tranche of an US$80 million private placement. The funds will be used to repay short-term debt and to finance ongoing additions and upgrades to its electricity generation, transmission and distribution system.
Richard Hew, CUC president and chief executive officer, said, “Significant capital investments are necessary to sustain a reliable electricity service to Grand Cayman, which CUC has remained committed to for over 50 years.”
Cayman’s utility provider is issuing three series of US$20 million 3.83% Senior Unsecured Notes that are due 28 Aug. 2039, US$40 million 4.14% Senior Unsecured Notes due 24 May 2049 and US$20 million 4.14% Senior Unsecured Notes due 28 Aug. 2049. The US$40 million Series B 4.14% Notes closed last Friday.
The debt offering was privately placed with institutional investors in the United States with RBC Capital Markets acting as sole placement agent.
The CUC chief executive said it was the company’s largest debt issuance to date.
“We are pleased to have been able to secure this financing on such favourable terms. This is a reflection of the continued stability and strong credit ratings of the Company and the jurisdiction as a whole,” Hew said, adding that CUC’s strong credit ratings had helped the company secure access to the capital markets.
The second tranche of US$40 million, consisting of the Series A 3.83% Notes and the Series C 4.14% Notes is scheduled to close on 28 Aug. 2019.
The notes will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or under any state securities laws. This means the notes may not be offered or sold except with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
CUC provides electricity to Grand Cayman under a non-exclusive Electricity Generation Licence that expires in 2039 and an exclusive Electricity Transmission and Distribution Licence expiring in 2028.
Cayman’s electricity provider also announced the resignation of Alphonsus Delaney as director of CUC, following his retirement from Fortis Inc.
R. Scott Hawkes, the president and chief executive officer of Fortis Ontario, has been appointed to the CUC board of directors.
Hawkes has many years of leadership experience in electric utility operations and the governance of publicly traded companies, CUC said in a press release. He previously served as corporate secretary at CUC and vice president of corporate services, general counsel and corporate secretary at Fortis Ontario before rising to his current position as CEO.

Henry Winkler overcame his dyslexia as a child and went on to become a children’s book author. His series on “Hank Zipzer” is based on his experiences as a child with dyslexia.
“I was in the bottom 3 per cent when I was at school,” he said. “I was told I would never achieve…Â I didn’t do well at school.” … It was not until much later that Winkler realised he was dyslexic, and he describes his books as an attempt to find comedy in a dyslexic world. “Because you’re not good at academics, it doesn’t mean anything. You can still fly like an eagle when you discover what you are good at,” he said. “Everyone has a talent inside them â€“ you just have to find out what it is.”
With over 17 books and 2.5 million copies in print, he is an inspiration to all individuals who struggle with reading disabilities and offers insights on school strategies for students with dyslexia.Â Henry Winkler: I first read a novel when I was in my thirties.
