Capcom’s Ace Attorney series has been around for a while, and while most of the titles have been released in other countries, there are several games that never made it outside Japan. Two of those are the “Great Ace Attorney” spinoff series, which is a prequel set in the Victorian era starring Phoenix Wright’s ancestor Ryunosuke Naruhodo. The first “Great” game came out in 2015 on the 3DS and its sequel was released two years later. It’s a little too late to be releasing things on 3DS….good thing a Switch port is in the works.
And it won’t be just Switch…Playstation 4 and the PC are also getting their own versions. And they’re all coming here, in English….in one volume, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
Between these two games, you will experience:
- Ten chapters, each with its own case to solve
- Eight additional mini-episodes
- Dual audio in English and Japanese
- Alternate costumes
- Art and music galleries
Set in the late 19th century during Japan’s Meiji Period and England’s Victorian era, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles follows Ryunosuke Naruhodo as he works to sleuth out the truth in witnesses’ testimonies and clear his clients’ names in court. Players will unravel the mysteries behind 10 thrilling cases alongside a zany cast of over-the-top characters – including the local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.
Yes, it says “Herlock Sholmes.” I love the Ace Attorney localization department.
The Great Ace Attorney will be released July 27 for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. There will even be a physical version….and it’s been a while since we’ve been able to say that about Ace Attorney!

Dear Susan: This isn't a question, but it is directed at the ladies. Please ask us guys out! I hope you realize how much it takes to ask a girl out. Ask us, only don't get pushy. You'll make our lives a whole lot easier! -- Kirk S., Santa Rosa, Calif.
Dear Kirk: From all I know about the battle of the singles, you are speaking for the vast majority of men. Women see the male advantage in being the one to ask for a date, but most men regard it as a burden.
Many tell me that romance is not dead, it's simply stressed out from being so one-sided. So Single File carries the banner high for making every day into Sadie Hawkins Day, every encounter between the sexes another chance for women to right this wrong.
Dear Susan: I must take exception to your statement that compared to women, men are "a tad slower to mature emotionally," the same way that women should not accept the myth that men are more advanced intellectually. The truth is that we develop in different directions, according to society's dictates and the demands of the opposite sex.
We value men for their positions and achievements. Thus, boys develop through competition such as sports, which drives the aggressive strength in men that women seek.
We value women for their nurturing abilities. Little girls play house and play "dress up."
We should not think a man less mature because he continues to play or follow sports any more than women who draw their value from others' impressions or who watch soap operas and read romance novels.
And neither men nor women mature in their relations to the opposite sex until they no longer think themselves ahead of the other and when they can empathize with the feelings and situation of the other. -- J.O., Baltimore, Md.
Dear J.O.: And no one matures in a relationship until he or she can see the other as a friend, partner, helpmate and fellow traveler on the journey through life -- not as the "opposite" sex. Your use of that word is the only jarring note in your letter and the sole exception I take to your articulate and reasoned letter.
Still, consider the point that males do tend to mature -- emotionally and physically -- slightly behind women. That's neither myth nor fiction, simply fact. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Clients and friends have been sharing their concerns, fears, and challenges about the way to say it for years. The way to word things. What to say in tough, uncomfortable conversations.
I hear comments like these about work:
“I can’t have THAT conversation cause I don’t know the way to say it”
“I want to end this drama and clear the air, but where do I begin? I have no idea what to say.”
“I deserve a raise, but I just don’t know how to ask for it.”
“I can’t talk to my boss at all. I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting fired.”
When it comes to tough conversations at home, things sound like this:
“I’m really mad at her, but I don’t know how to say it without ruining everything.”
“No, we NEVER TALK ABOUT that!”
“I tried once to talk about that and I really screwed things up worse. It’s better to say nothing.”
When it comes right down to it, most of us end up not saying it at all. Rather than work through our awkwardness or discomfort or fear of not being liked, we skip the difficult conversation altogether.
People worry. What if I say the wrong thing? What if they don’t understand me? What if I make things worse? Suppose they cry, or yell? All sorts of fears come up around the way to say it. So rather than say it wrong, we say nothing. We stuff feelings. Withhold the truth. We just don’t say it. We procrastinate, ignore and silently hope the issue will go away.
Nope. Not a chance. Actually, things get worse when we ignore what needs to be said. Eventually we have to face the conversation, the talk, the issue, the truth, and by the time we do, our silence has created more damage, separation, distance and misunderstanding. Silence is not the answer. Issues don’t just go away and at some level we know this.
The answer….The Way to Say It. This blog is a place where you’ll find guidance, direction, ideas and real conversations about The Way to Say It regardless of what “it” is. It might be about how to word a poor performance review, how to react to poor service, or how to request a raise. Or we’ll talk about those unspoken conversations at home, like what to say to your college graduate daughter when she moves back home, or even how to end an unhappy relationship. Whatever it is, The Way to Say It¸ is the place to learn to talk it through, to phrase it well, to face the conversation that we would really prefer to run from. It’s about leaning in and saying what needs to be said and doing so with a certain amount of ease and grace.
The possibilities are tremendous and freeing, and I promise, it’s not as hard as it seems. Stay tuned for more blog posts, services and support on The Way to Say It!

Repeat after me: I am not my diagnosis.
Repeat after me: I am enough.
Mental health interferes with a person’s life. It changes how a person thinks, feels and acts. Mental health is a disorder of the brain. Talking about mental health is taboo and not just here in the United States, but all around the world. This doesn’t surprise me though, based upon the stigma that is associated with mental health, like the stigmatizing words that are thrown around like confetti at a birthday party. Stigmatizing words such as calling someone psycho, crazy, or retarded. Telling someone their mental health is too much to handle. It adds to the stigma that exists in our communities and does more harm than good. Stigmas such as these come with misguided beliefs and interpretations that individuals living with mental illnesses are “different” than everyone else, when in actuality, they are not. Stigmas, unfortunately, reflect attitudes and beliefs that lead to discrimination. Because of the mental health stigma that exists, individuals living with mental illnesses experience:
Reluctancy to seek treatment, such as therapy or medication management
A lack of support and understanding from family, friends and colleagues
Bullying, physical violence, or harassment
Inadequate health insurance that does not cover mental health services
The belief that their situation is permanent, not temporary, which can lead to self-harm and/or suicidal ideation
No one is exempt from mental health, similar to how no one is exempt from COVID-19, the flu, a head cold, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, etc. While mental health does not discriminate, mental health is thought to be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, such as inherited traits, environmental exposures, and brain chemistry. Certain factors may increase the risk of developing a mental illness, such as:
Family history of mental illness
Stressful life situations, such as financial concerns, a death, or divorce
Ongoing medical conditions, such as diabetes, obesity or migraines
Traumatic brain injury
Use of alcohol or recreational drugs
Childhood history of abuse or neglect
Isolation and lack of friends or healthy relationships
A previous mental illness
According to the CDC, statistics show:
More than 50% of individuals will be diagnosed with a mental health disorder at some point in their lifetime
1 in 5 Americans will experience challenges with their mental health in any given year
1 in 25 Americans live with a serious and persistent mental illness
Approximately 4.5 million children (ages 3-17 years old) have a diagnosed behavioral disorder
Approximately 4.4 million children (ages 3-17 years old) have diagnosed anxiety
Approximately 1.9 million children (ages 3-17 years old) have diagnosed depression
The stigma that is associated with mental health matters. It affects people who are living with mental illness and their families. Accept my challenge: see the person, not their disorder. Person first language is essential for destigmatizing mental health. An individual living with mental illness is living with mental illness. It is not who they are, it does not define them. It is part of their life, it is part of their journey.
Be part of ending the stigma. Educate yourself. Ask questions. Listen to understand, not to respond. Be conscious to not use stigmatizing words and if you do, acknowledge that. Breathe first, apologize second. Ask questions to understand and thank the person who informed you for their honesty and bravery.
It is not understanding mental health or helping individuals living with mental illness that we should fear. It is what happens if we don’t help that we should fear. What happens if we don’t provide support, empathy and compassion to our family, friends or strangers?
Everyone has a different set of struggles. Everyone is unique. Everyone has a different story. Everyone also possesses strength and courage when sharing their story. Listen to understand the whole story. Honor the trust the person is giving you by sharing their story because they are providing you a spot in their journey.

The cruise ship Celebrity Mercury was forced to its home port of Charleston for a four day cleaning recently. After the third straight outbreak of Norovirus on the 1870 passenger ship, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued a rare “no sail” recommendation. The return home came after Celebrity took some action to stem the outbreak to no avail.
As noted in an article in USA Today,
The repeated outbreaks came despite an aggressive effort by the line to stop the chain of transmission of the illness. Celebrity conducted an unusual top-to-bottom cleaning of the Mercury Feb. 26-27 that delayed the ship’s Feb. 26 departure by a day. The line also delayed the March 8 departure of the ship by several hours so it could undergo another round of extra cleaning and disinfecting
Norovirus is a stomach illness characterized by diarrhea and vomiting. 406 of the 1829 passengers on the last voyage of the Mercury, or nearly 22%, got sick. This is after 411 passengers on the February 15-26 sailing and 182 on the February 26-March 8 sailing. Outbreaks of this magnitude are extremely rare and its even rarer to have three outbreaks in a row.
Like Charleston, New Orleans is a major port for cruise ships. Many residents of this state leave from there. What happens if your much-needed vacation turns into a sickness disaster as it did for many Celebrity passengers? Are there legal ramifications?
Someone who is taken ill while on a cruise may very well have a negligence claim against the cruise line. In order to prove negligence the passenger must be able to prove that the cruise line owed a duty to him or her, the duty was breached, and the breach resulted in injury (sickness). If these elements are proven the cruise line will be responsible for paying medical expenses, lost wages, and may even be forced to pay compensation for pain and suffering.
Claims against cruise lines are unique, however, and may differ very much from a traditional negligence claim. There are several things to keep in mind if you are considering suing a cruise line.
First, did the cruise line violate a duty to you? Was there negligent action?
Cruise lines have a duty to provide a clean, safe place for people to vacation. As an example, if the ship was not clean enough to prevent the spread of illness, a duty was probably violated. Or, if you became sick because food was not refrigerated to the correct temperatures or was left out for too long, a duty was most likely violated.
Second, can you prove the negligent action?
Cruise ships are constantly traveling and they host passengers from all over the world. This may make it very difficult to track down information regarding the conditions on the ship that may have led to your injury or illness. If you are injured or become sick while on a cruise make sure you get the names and contact information of other passengers who can verify the conditions of the ship. If possible, take pictures of the hazardous or unsafe conditions.
Third, what are the terms of your passenger ticket?
As a cruise line passenger, your ticket is a contract between you and the cruise line. Tickets often provide legal guidelines for bringing claims against the cruise line such as a requirement to inform the cruise line of an intent to bring a claim or collect damages, a limitations period for bringing a claim, or a forum selection clause requiring that claims be brought in a certain court. While you may be able to overcome some terms in court, you will be better off if you know precisely what the passenger ticket says.
The prospect of taking on a cruise line may seem overwhelming. However, If you have a valid claim and a dedicated experienced attorney on your side, a successful claim may be within reach.

A truck with loudspeakers circled behind him, with a recorded voice saying repeatedly: "Disperse. Don't stay here. Think of the nation."
Another Hong Kong broadcaster RTHK also said about 5,000 Han Chinese carrying national flags protested peacefully on Renmin Road, demanding that Wang step down. The report said paramilitary police fired several tear gas rounds to disperse them.
One middle-aged Han Chinese man said police should leave the protesters alone.
"They should be catching the terrorists, not harassing the people," said Ji Xiaolong. "I have to wonder if Hu Jintao really knows what is going on here."
Two Hong Kong broadcasters, TVB and now TV, said three of their reporters, who were detained for over three hours for filming a protest, have now been released. Some of their cameras and tapes seized earlier were also returned to them. An Associated Press photographer and TV crew also had their cameras confiscated and returned after five hours.
Calls to the press office of the Xinjiang government were not answered Friday. Chen Li, a staffer at the media center at the Haide Hotel in Urumqi, said there had not been any gatherings or clashes near the Xinjiang government or Xinjiang Communist Party offices.
The unrest shows how unsettled Urumqi remains despite continued high security since the July rioting, the worst communal violence to hit Xinjiang in more than a decade. That rioting began when a protest by Muslim Uighurs spiraled out of control, and Uighurs attacked Han. Days later, Han vigilantes tore through Uighur neighborhoods to retaliate.
The Associated press contributed to this report.

The eight API 610 OH2 recycling pumps will undertake critical and highly corrosive duties in the crude oil desalting system that Fjords Processing is installing.
The alloy 625 pumps with bespoke Plan 53B seal support systems are required on an aggressive 24 week delivery schedule which ran over the summer holiday period when the foundries were shut down for two weeks.
This latest order follows a similar sized API 610 OH2 pump order that Amarinth previously secured for a gas dehydration and glycol regeneration package for the Abu Dhabi National Company for Onshore Oil Operation’s (ADCO) Al Dabb’iya Facilities Development Phase III project.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, said: “We have seen a significant upturn over the past year in clients requiring short lead-times of well under 30 weeks for high specification API 610 pumps. Amarinth has made significant investments in leading-edge technologies and we have further streamlined our business processes, including throughout our supply chain, enabling us to deliver successfully on what is fast becoming the norm for lead-times and we are confident that we can continue to deliver as deadlines will no doubt become even more challenging as the oil and gas industry evolves.”

The Biebs' 'Boyfriend' Video Features Fancy Cars & Selena Look-A-Like
Justin Bieber's new music video for his hot new grown-up single, "Boyfriend", is out and it's full of fancy cars and hot girls - including a Selena Gomez double. And he had a hand in choosing his girlfriend's look-a-like: "They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera... It was kind of a group thing. She was like, really beautiful, but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahontas!”
The Biebs' much-anticipated vid is being compared by critics to a homage to 'N Sync's 2001 "Girlfriend" video. And while Bieber, 18, also admits to MTV that he hasn't seen the 'N Sync video, he says he has definitely been influenced by JT. "He was young and he did it... and he was really amazing and had such amazing music," he told MTV on Thursday. "I can't say that I would be upset when someone compares me to him."
Meanwhile in the May issue of Details, Timberlake confesses that he isn't so fond of his past style choices when he was part of the boy band 'N Sync: "In trying to conform - we're marionettes - I ended up looking like a moron."


Multiple IED – Convoy Strike – Electronic Trigger
This multiple IED strike is triggered by a special vehicle mat and timer delay box to ensure the target vehicle is hit. The vehicle mat will only trigger when a vehicle is driven over it, a person on foot will not trigger the effect.
Each of the 120mm tubes will hold 44oz or 1.25kg of Cool Smoke with the MIL-180-CHA8 head to disperse the cloud in a narrow cone forward toward the target vehicles. These heads can also be fitted with marking rounds.
The MIL-PED-DBA head provides a very loud audio report with a concussive shock wave before dispersing its load of 22oz or 625g of Cool Smoke in a 60 degree cone from the effect.
The Multiple IED Convoy Strike Kit – is an assembled kit of machined aluminium parts non-pyrotechnic explosive simulators and an external vehicle activated electronic trigger and pneumatic detonator:
- 2 x 60 Degree Forward Head with 8 inch ground spikes.
- 1 x PET Bottle Head Adaptor.
- 2 x 120mm Tube.
- 1 x 20 inch Tube.
- 3 x Firing Base Actuator.
- 2 x Black Plastic Burst Disk.
- 1 x PET Drinks Bottle
- 2 x 1.25kg of Smoke Powder
- 1 x 625g of Smoke Powder.
- 2 x 11 Paintball Marking Rounds (optional)
- 3 x Refillable Air/CO2 Bottle.
- 1 x Electronic Convoy Strip Trigger
- 1 x E3 Electronic Firing Device
- 1 x Four Way airline connector
The Multiple IED Convoy Strike Kit gives the ability to engage vehicles that are moving along a road or track. A soldier on foot will not activate the device. The devices can be buried or concealed individually in order to target several vehicles or can be located together to create the largest possible effect.
The Convoy Strip trigger is supplied with a timer box which ensures a signal to fire is generated even if the target vehicle is moving at speed. The four way connector allows for a degree of flexibility in the timing of the explosions. With all four effects connected with equal length air line the effects will detonate together, shorter air lines will cause a quicker detonation.

After a long bus ride up to Thompson, followed by a 16 hour train ride, the Kelvin students arrived in a snow-covered Churchill. This was part of the Kelvin science trip called NorthSTAR (formerly ISAMR). We have joined together with students from Baltimore and the Junior Canadian Rangers from Churchill to study permafrost and arctic foxes in the summer and polar bears in the fall.
We saw many bears including a few mother bears with their cubs and especially enjoyed watching two male polar bears sparring right in front of us. At one point we could see six sleeping bears. We also saw a silver fox catch and devour a lemming.
The program is run by Dr. Jane Waterman and Dr. Jim Roth from the University of Manitoba. We are grateful for the NSERC Promoscience grant which supports this program. Dr. Waterman joined us for the trip and instructed us throughout the day, giving research talks and helping students with data analysis in the evenings. Using cameras, binoculars, and rangefinders, the students collected the data used to find the body size and body condition of the bears. The whicker-pattern identification software will then be used to identify the bears and add them to the Polar Bear identification library. Currently we are comparing the symmetry of the two sides of each bear to see if this fluctuating asymmetry in the whisker spots may be an indicator of the increased stresses of climate change.
During the first day at the Churchill Northern Studies Center, we had the privilege of listening to Caroline Bjorkland, a Sayisi Dene woman, talk about her experience of the relocation of her people in 1956. Caroline shared her experiences in residential schools, the story of her people, and the lessons she has learned about herself and her identity in relation to the culture. Members of the group had prepared for this presentation by reading the very powerful book: Night Spirits: The Story of the Relocation of the Sayisi Dene by Ila Bussidor and Ustun Bilgen-Reinart.
We are also thrilled to have been hosted by the Canadian Junior Rangers for a Halloween celebration in the town. The next morning, our students did a volunteer project to help out the town by making a map with GPS markings identifying the position of all the fire-hydrants. In the afternoon we joined with the Churchill kids and had a great time dog-sledding.
Students will be giving a talk as well as presenting posters at the ArcticNet conference in December, as well as presenting posters at the Wapusk Research Symposium. Both of these are scientific conferences where our group is the only high school group presenting among graduate students and professors.

Portugal restricts movement to stem coronavirus, rules out rationing
LISBON (Reuters) – Portugal’s government told people to stay indoors but assured them there would be enough food on the shelves as a nationwide state of emergency to combat the coronavirus outbreak began on Thursday.
For at least 15 days, all non-essential businesses will be closed to customers, although restaurants will be allowed to provide takeaway services. The government recommended that people work from home if possible.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, bakeries, petrol stations and banks will remain open but must implement capacity restrictions.
“There is no rationing in shops and no reason for there to be any. We are putting in these measures to make sure the supply chain is not broken,” Prime Minister Antonio Costa said after a cabinet meeting to decide on concrete measures for the state of emergency declared on Wednesday.
“That’s what’s important — to save lives, while ensuring that life continues.”
Those infected with coronavirus or being monitored by health authorities will stay in mandatory isolation, and it would be a crime for them to leave the hospital or their homes, Costa said.
Portugal has 785 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with four reported deaths.
People over 70 and those considered vulnerable should only leave home to grab essential goods, go the doctor or walk their pets. All other citizens should avoid leaving their homes but can go to work, assist their families and accompany minors for recreation, among other essential activities.
The government imposed no mandatory lockdown, which Costa said would be “disrespectful” to the Portuguese, who have so far followed government guidelines on staying indoors responsibly.
The first state of emergency in Portugal’s 46-year democratic history, declared by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa on Wednesday, can be extended in 15-day periods.
“The only ones left at night are the two homeless people living on the square. It’s completely silent — all you hear is the seagulls,” Joana de Castro, 35, whose balcony overlooks one of Lisbon’s busiest squares, said as the restrictions kicked in.
The government announced a 9.2 billion euro package on Wednesday to support workers and provide liquidity for companies affected by the epidemic, including the cancellations-hit tourism industry, which accounts for nearly 15% of GDP.
“We should not lose in this crisis what we recovered after the previous one,” Costa said, referring to the 2010-14 debt crisis from which Portugal emerged, after protracted austerity, with a growing economy and a nearly eradicated fiscal deficit.

WATERFORD, N.Y. – Only eight days before Christmas, a First Street home in Waterford was destroyed by a fire on Tuesday.
Fire officials believe the blaze at 19 First Street started in the basement and worked its destruction all the way to the attic, leaving the home a total loss.
Although Christmas presents were destroyed, the community is now pulling together to try and give the family a happy holiday.
Evon Dixon-Hill, a victim of the house fire, lived in the home with her children and grandchildren for six years. On Tuesday night, she watched the home be destroyed.
"All my granddaughters' toys were in the house," said Dixon-Hill. "My daughter was staying with me and my granddaughter, so all of her Christmas stuff is gone."
Neighbors and the community are now banding together, trying to salvage some of the Waterford family's holiday spirit. A fund was set up on Wednesday through KeyBank to help the family get back on their feet.
Marilyn Bazar lives directly across the street, and says the fire victims were good neighbors.
"I could feel the heat coming right through my window and those flames were coming this way," Bazar described.
Bazar sheltered the family in the hours after the fire, giving them something warm to drink.
The fund was set up by the Waterford Lions Club. Those who wish to donate can do so at any KeyBank to the "Waterford Fire Victims Fund."
A teacher from the Waterford-Halfmoon School lives in the same neighborhood as the family and said the school sent out a notice to faculty asking for donations for the family as well.
The three children who lived in the First Street home are staying with their father.
The rest of the family is being helped by the Red Cross.

5 of the Best Ways to Set Up a Will
Making a will isn’t something anyone enjoys, but it’s an important part of growing older. We’re going to discuss five of the best ways to set up a will to ensure your loved ones are protected and your wishes are followed through.
Did you know that nearly two-thirds of UK adults don’t have a Will? Believe it or not, the number of people creating a will has actually increased because of deaths during the pandemic. Despite this, the majority are still without.
The disadvantages of dying ‘intestate’ – without a will – are plentiful. With intestacy laws in the UK generally distributing property at death to the surviving spouse or descendants, it’s often not a plan that is fit for unmarried couples or blended families. So, why is it that so many decide not to make a will before their death?
Studies have shown that some people feel uncomfortable telling strangers their personal details, while others aren’t ready to make important life decisions. Other reasons include family conflict and the belief that young people don’t need wills. In this article, we aim to show you that making a will doesn’t need to be as complicated, expensive or long-winded as many might believe. Read on to find out the five best ways to start…
1. Work with a Solicitor
The easiest way to set up a will is to arrange a meeting with a solicitor and seek legal professional advice. It is generally advised that you use a solicitor, or at least have a solicitor to check over a will you have drawn up, to avoid common mistakes and to make sure it details everything you want.
It is far more difficult to alter a will once it has been formalised, and requires a process called rectification to change the mistakes. Historically, most clerical errors have involved typographical mistakes, and though the mistakes may be minor, they can cost an awful amount of money to rectify.
A solicitor will charge for their services in drawing up or checking a will, but they’ll be able to give you accurate and well-informed information, as well as provide you with peace of mind. Unfortunately, when you pass, there’s nothing you can do if a problem does arise, so it would be left to your loved ones to sort out.
The charges for will services vary between solicitors and depend on the intricacy of the will. Before deciding on who to use, it’s always sensible to check with a few local solicitors to find out how much they charge and if they specialise in an area that you’re finding particularly difficult to understand.
2. Use a Will-Writing Firm
As well as contacting a solicitor, there are several will-writing services, like Baldock will writers, that you can reach out to for advice. Will-writing services tend to be a lower-cost alternative to using a solicitor, with prices starting at under £100.
Unfortunately, most will-writing firms aren’t fully regulated, so they won’t safeguard you if things go wrong. Unlike using a solicitor, you often aren’t protected, and you’ll be fully liable for the mistakes, unable to claim for professional negligence.
With that in mind, it’s worth checking whether it’s a member of a recognised professional or trade body, such as the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, the Institute of Professional Willwriters (IPW) or the Society of Will Writers (SWW).
3. Create a DIY Will
Another option is to create your own will – often online. Sometimes, there is no need for a will to be drawn up or witnessed by a solicitor. Particularly if you have a lawyer in the family or are well versed in the legal matters at hand.
That said, you should follow strict guidelines when creating your will to avoid any mishaps. Generally, it’s a good idea to research online and read through several books which guide drafting up your will.
Often, you’ll find printable forms online. These can help you decide what’s most important and help you to format your will.
Some of the most common mistakes people make when writing their own will include not being aware of the formal requirements, failing to take account of all the money and property, and failing to include a beneficiary.
4. Talk to Your Beneficiaries
A beneficiary is a person or entity you name in a life insurance policy to receive the death benefit. Usually, these are the deceased’s relations or close friends.
Many people prefer to seek advice from their friends and family when drafting a will to ensure that their loved ones are fully aware of the affairs that will pan out after their death. It can also help you to make an informed decision based on their feedback.
Though transparency to family members can often prove beneficial, in some cases, it can cause upset and conflict. It’s important to consider this possible outcome before divulging your affairs with family members. It may be that seeking advice from a third party – such as a solicitor or will-writing service – provides you with a more accurate and unbiased opinion.
5. Visit Citizens Advice
Finally, if you are unsure of how to proceed or are in any doubt as to how you can set up a will, you should consult a solicitor or a Citizens Advice local office who can give you lists of solicitors and firms to contact.
What’s more, if you can’t afford legal advice or support in court, you might be able to get free or cheaper help.
Have You Set Up a Will Yet?
Making a will can be daunting, but don’t let that stop you from starting to draft one. There are a number of firms and individuals that can help you, and it needn’t be a scary or long-winded process.
If your family and friends are your priority, it’s important to get your will in order sooner rather than later. After all, if we’ve learnt one thing from this past year, it’s that we never know what’s around the corner.

Hoppy Valley Farm, Dry Town Hops partner with discovery of new hop
POWNAL — Hoppy Valley Farm and harvesting company Dry Town Hops are partnering to trademark a new indigenous hop plant after it was found in New York by the harvesting company.
Based in Argyle, N.Y., Dry Town Hops processes and harvests hops, which function as the bittering ingredient in beers, on local farms. When the team found the indigenous hops growing wild, they decided to send the sample for analysis to the University of Vermont laboratory. When the results came back, they were amazed.
"The brewing values were off the charts. They [UVM] had nothing in the DNA base that was similar to the hop," said Peter Hopkins, the owner of Hoppy Valley Farm.
The partnership between the two companies began when Hopkins volunteered to help Dry Town Hops get the project going after their previous success with wild hops.
"They've taken something they found, that was growing indigenous on the farm in Pownal and brought it back to life. There are brewers using it, it's a great thing," said Jason Lloyd, the administrative manager and co-founder of Dry Town Hops.
Hoppy Valley Farm and Dry Town Hops hope to get these new hops "out of the ground" and start growing them on the farm as well as cloning them to increase the number of plants they produce on an annual basis.
"In a few years, we'll be able to sell this yet to be named hop, as well as the roots so that other hop growers can grow these as well. It will be a proprietary variety," said Hopkins.
Projects such as Advancing New York's Hop Industry with Unique Varieties and Quality Assurance have been collecting feral hops growing on local farms and sending them for DNA analysis in hopes of finding unique varieties. The hops are also analyzed for disease resistance.
The first cultivated hops were introduced into the United States from Europe by the Massachusetts Company in 1629 and by the late 1700s, New England became the dominant American Hop growing region.
New York hops gained prominence, but ultimately met their demise in a mildew blight in 1910. According to Hopkins, some of the hops from the 18th and 19th-century farms are now growing wild on the farms.
"To find a hop that blows people away is a great piece of luck. We're really excited because this is a new hop that no one has ever used before," said Hopkins.
The farm relocated two years ago from land along Route 7, and has just harvested its second successful season on their new land. They specialize in heirloom hops that are found in Vermont and Massachusetts.
While the plot of land is smaller than the previous, Hopkins said that they intensified the planting and have almost twice as many hop plants.
Hoppy Valley Farm and Dry Town Hops have yet to name their new discovery.
"I'm excited to bring something back to life. These things have been lying dormant for who knows how long," said Lloyd.
The farm is also well known for their condiments that feature their home-grown hops. The small condiment fridge off of Route 7 was installed six years ago when Hopkins was looking for a project to fill in his extra time in retirement.
"You can't do too much with hops in the wintertime," said Hopkins.
After the food business took a dive in February, Hopkins admits that they were close to discontinuing. Now the farm sells products at the Hoosick and Bennington farmers markets.
"Were able to get back into farmers' markets. People are outside, they're not stuck in a store. They can be six feet distance. It fits the times even though it's a very small piece of business," Hopkins said.

For carving necks these little chinese spokeshaves are my favorite. Cheap, light and work like a charm. Take a little work to set them up properly but when they are...smooth like butter.
Of the Stanley you mention I have the 51 and a newer one similar to the 151 with the double adjustment knobs. If I can judge their prefered statis by the one that I will grab first every time it's the 51. I find the 151 kind of top heavy and as I hold the spokeshave lightly, it just feels awkward and unbalanced in my hands. I've had it flip over and ding the neck more than once. But that's just me and others might have a different technique with no problems.
I forgot to mention the other metal spokeshave I really like is my old Record 64 with the thumb screw fastener. You can usually find them for 10 bucks or less...good value.
I'd say your choice of tool should be based on your own experience and practice. I don't recall ever using a spokeshave, but I've used pretty much every kind of rasp along the way. I do like those handmade ones, whether Eastern European or Chines - they are really sharp.
That said, my favorite tool for necks is a regular draw knife. I'd always figured that the Martin catalog cover photo of the guy whittling a neck with a draw knife was a staged thing, not what was practiced in the Factory. When I first visited Nazareth, I was surprised to see a guy shaping necks just as in the photo. In fact there was a row of neck makers doing just that - taking the shaped blank and finishing the carving with skill and ease.
That inspired me to break out my old draw knife, sharpen it up and practice so I could make the wood melt away as I'd seen them do it. . .
Another vote here like Rusty for the stew mac dragon rasps. Until I read this thread, I had completely forgot I have a very nice Lee Valley spoke shave that I never use. With such good rasps, the spokeshave seems a very course tool now. I never did like that now & again the spoke shave would want to run with the grain and start cutting too deep or cause chip out. This is never a problem with the dragon rasps. One of the best hand tool purchases Ive made in a while.
Wow! Interesting how many use the dragon rasps. I've got some but don't use them except around the heel and neck/head joint area.
I got used to the little chinese wooden spokeshaves years ago, learned how to set them up, how to use them to avoid chip out and so on and cannot think of anything I'd rather use.
I agree with Frank though, the tool you use should be what you are comfortable with and have experience using. Don't use something just because someone else does. I, for example, would not touch a drawknife to a guitar neck. I've seen the builders in Mexico and Spain using them to carve a neck in what seems like seconds. Impressive for sure but I can guarantee you, not nearly so impressive in my hands.

Whereas environmental teams, equivalent to native Audubon society chapters and the nonprofit Heart for Organic Range, normally have widespread objectives in thoughts, it isn’t unparalleled for them to butt heads with regards to figuring out the proper plan of action in preserving the earth’s wealthy and delicate wildlife. In the US, the Endangered Species Act is likely one of the most vital preservation instruments obtainable. Established in 1973, the Endangered Species Act units forth protections for species which might be categorized as “threatened” or “endangered.” The checklist of such species is sometimes called the “Endangered Species Checklist” and options varied tiers of concern ranges relying upon the power of the remaining populations of the animals in query. It’s this checklist which is inflicting the present disagreements amongst conservation businesses.

The wooden stork is what is called an “indicator species.” Because of this the well being and wellbeing of wooden stork populations are taken as a type of litmus check to find out the general wellbeing of the habitat. Wooden storks depend on the fragile habitat of the everglades and wetlands to outlive, so when wooden storks thrive it may be assumed that the everglades are doing nicely too. For the reason that Nineteen Thirties, the wooden stork has indicated looming catastrophe for these biodiversity-rich habitats. As human developments unfold, wooden stork populations shrank by as much as ninety p.c. They have been, rightfully, added to the Endangered Species Checklist.
Now, nevertheless, the wooden stork is poised to be faraway from the checklist in a transfer that some organizations are celebrating, while others stay apprehensive. With numbers doubling from 5,000 pairs within the eighties to 10,000 pairs as we speak, and the variety of breeding colonies tripling lately, the wooden stork appears to be like to be poised to make a whole and galvanizing comeback because of the additional help that its endangered standing has afforded to it. Whereas the Heart for Organic Range applauds this transfer, the Florida Audubon society has said their concern that the change is being proposed too swiftly and that the wooden stork’s comeback stays precarious.
Delisting the wooden stork wouldn’t deal with its restoration as full, because the wooden stork is just being proposed that the wooden stork be listed as “threatened” relatively than “endangered.” Nonetheless, there are those that consider that this transfer will take away wanted help from a fragile recovering inhabitants. The wooden stork will, in both case, proceed to be protected by the Migratory Chicken Treaty Act of 1918.
The everglades stay below menace, however the obvious success of one in every of its endangered indicator species is a really constructive signal. Whether or not or not the wooden stork is delisted, these majestic birds stay an vital species to observe as we undertake efforts to protect America’s wetlands and the wealth of wildlife which rely upon them.

Needs to restructuring of protection systems for power electronic converters
Mohammad Mahdi Mansouri
Protection systems have widespread problems with expansion of power electronic equipment in size and diversity. Therefore, a short review is done on these problems and some basic requirements of a protection system are mentioned base on relay protection foundation. Then a protection block is proposed for protection of power electronic equipment. The proposed protection scheme has independent measuring unit, calculation unit and circuit breaker. It is shown that these three parts are unqualified in current protection system for protection of power electronic equipment. One of the main results of this paper proposal is using the solid state breakers instead of mechanical breakers. In this regard, a comparison of cost and space between mechanical and solid state breakers is done. Some special protection schemes are mentioned for power electronics at the end.

In this paper I provide the first ever observational evidence of hierarchical fragmentation of a molecular cloud over five scales that are separated by five orders of magnitude. A molecular cloud of over 10 pc size does not collapse as a whole in a monolithic pattern to make a group of stars, rather a wave of supersonic turbulence sets density enhancements in certain regimes, and each over-dense region later contracts by gravitational instability. Turns out, each such region further produces other over-dense regions, and this process is repeated in a hierarchical fashion until stars are born in the densest regions. An outward pressure in clouds acts opposing the inward gravitational collapse of a cloud. If the outward pressure is the same as the inward pull, the cloud attains a balanced state called hydrostatic equilibrium. If outward pressure is more, the cloud becomes unbound and expands, but if outward pressure is less, the cloud contracts gravitationally. I test the possibility of thermal and nonthermal pressure as candidates for outward pressure in each level of hierarchy, and find that the role of thermal pressure increases sharply when going from large to small scales in the Perseus molecular cloud.

Traditional Machines Versus Video SLOTS
A slot machine, described also variously, the freerolls, slots, fruit machines, the wooden chips, slots or pugs, is merely a mechanical device that generates a game of luck because of its users. A slot machine could be designed to provide a single, maximum bet, a multiple number of bets or a mix of bets. Slots are created to simulate gambling situations.
Slot machines are a source of real cash and are played by people from all walks of life. This can be a favorite with many casino goers, since it is convenient to obtain also it offers a quick way to access a dependable income source. In the first days of slots, the payouts were small, and therefore casinos tended never to make too much money from them. Over time, payouts have gradually improved, and casinos have enjoyed a reliable increase in revenues by giving better payouts.
One of the reasons for the improvements in payouts is that casinos started using electronic slots within their locations. This has eliminated the problems encountered with earlier slots, where coins had to be removed, reset or lost before the next coin could be used. Now, all that is required can be an ear piece and a bankroll. Electronic slots eliminate the need for coins, making them vunerable to theft. Also, since the reels do not need change, slot players need not worry about losing change.
Some slot machines require that players pull a handle to start the reels, others require a lever or perhaps a push button. Sometimes, a series of buttons provides the required action. A lever or a button marked “enter” may cause the reels to start out, and the same applies to push buttons. A lever or a button marked “exit” will cause the machine to stop. All of these functions can be programmed with a card reader that’s designed designed for card-swiping purposes.
In addition to the change in the mechanisms, there are also substantial changes in the forms of symbols used on slots. There are still plenty of letter and number combinations that can be used when slot machines are being played, but there are now symbols for every symbol on the reels. These symbols are often small and hard to see, however they enhance the excitement of playing slots. A few of these symbols are also used for other games, such as for example baccarat and video poker.
Many slots that were designed for coin slots now accommodate both coin and slots. When the mechanical mechanisms were changed from lever action to electronic ones, it left the entranceway open for other types of gaming options. Entertaining guests was a possibility that was unavailable before. Entertaining guests with a “just how much is this worth” symbol on a machine located in a bar could easily attract business, which meant more profits for the owner of the establishment. The same holds true today, and many bars have added drinks and other amenities to their coin-only slots to attract customers.
Video slots are rising in popularity since they allow players to feel like they’re actually winning something, despite the fact that the odds of winning in it are low. While video games have always been popular, they gained even more popularity when computer technology was released that allowed people to play video slot machines located in casinos. Today, many casinos have added video slots to their existing video games in order that the experience is identical to playing slot machines located in homes. Video slots are 풀 카지노 so real that players sometimes feel that they are actually winning.
As you can see, there has been quite an evolution in the mechanics and operation of slot machines. One area where in fact the change has had the most impact may be the video slot industry. Although you may still find plenty of traditional slots and hot-spot slots where one can win a sizable prize, most of today’s casinos have added video games to their establishments. In addition to video game spins, these games have added lotto along with other drawing mechanisms that provide players the chance to win larger prizes. If you are looking for a way to make your next casino trip more pleasurable, consider adding one or more video slot machines. You will be glad you did!

Think about your favorite businesses, do any of them allow dogs? I’d wager that more do than you think.
It’s becoming increasingly common for businesses of all types to allow dogs, and in some cases, cats and other pets as well. But why is that? We saw a pandemic and post-pandemic surge in pet ownership which likely accounts for some increase. But I think it’s the way people are viewing their pets.
Younger people view their pets as family or a best friend. Because of this, they are more likely to consider their furry best friend in all areas of their life. Including where to shop, where to work, and even where to live.
Allowing dogs in your business can increase growth, improve morale, and separate you from competitors.
Why Dogs Are Good for Your Business
There are quite a few reasons why dogs can help your business but let’s look at a few of the biggest ones.
- There is a massive market. According to the 2023-2024 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 66% of American homes have a pet. Or 86.9 million families. Of that, 65.1 million of them have a dog. Meaning there is a staggering amount of people with furry friends. Welcoming their dogs into your business can help tap into this giant and loyal customer base and stand out from your competitors who don’t.
- You can increase happiness and foster loyalty among customers and employees. Many dog owners think of their pups as family members or best friends, so they appreciate businesses with a similar mindset. Showing that you care and that you are willing to go the extra mile to make them happy goes a long, long way.
- Dogs bring joy and comfort to people, especially in stressful times. Having dogs around can make it feel more friendly and relaxed, foster social interactions, and improve physical and mental health.
Studies have shown that the bond between dogs and humans leads to decreased cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, blood pressure, loneliness, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. A survey taken earlier this year by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) found that 86% of pet owners said their pets have a positive impact on their mental health. Additionally, 88% said they considered their pets to be part of their family.
What You Need to Watch Out for When Welcoming Dogs
Naturally, there are challenges and concerns to consider when allowing dogs into your business.
The first and most obvious is local laws. Depending on your location or the nature of your business, there may be laws or regulations about having pets in public places. For example, some states or municipalities prohibit dogs in restaurants or anywhere that serves food. With the exception of service dogs, thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Always check your local laws before deciding to allow dogs!
The safety of others is another factor to keep in mind. Not all dogs are well-behaved, vaccinated, or healthy, and in some cases, these things can cause big issues. You have a responsibility to keep people safe and will need plans in place for handling any accidents or emergencies. Things like dog bites, allergic reactions, and potty accidents can happen. Having plans and trained staff can keep these to a minimum or non-existent.
Just because many of us love dogs and other animals doesn’t mean everyone does. Having clear rules and guidelines about your pet policy can help respect everyone’s boundaries.
How to Make Your Business More Dog-Friendly
If you decide to welcome dogs in your business, here are some tips on how to make it work for you and your customers:
- Pet Policy: As I mentioned, having a clear pet or dog policy that explains the rules and expectations for dog and non-dog owners visiting your business is important. A good policy will include information like who can bring dogs, what kinds of dogs are allowed (size, breed, etc.), where dogs are allowed, the requirements for dogs (leash, collar, tags, behavior), the responsibilities of dog owners (cleaning up after their dogs and keeping them under control), and the consequences of breaking the rules (warnings, fines, being asked to leave). Make your dog policy highly visible on your website, social media pages, storefront window, or any other place customers can see it.
- Education: You can educate your staff and customers about your dog policy and why you have it. Make yourself available to explain the benefits and challenges of allowing animals and your plans to address them. You may need to provide training and guidance to your staff on how to interact with dogs, their owners, and how to handle any problems that may arise. Be open and receptive to feedback and suggestions from your staff and customers on any improvements or concerns.
- Be flexible and respectful. Understand that not every dog or person is the same, and different situations may require different solutions. Try to accommodate a person’s needs or preferences as long as they are lawful and reasonable. Essentially, work to create a harmonious and inclusive environment for everyone.
Many high-profile businesses already allow dogs. Google, Amazon, Lowes, and Apple, for instance, have had pet-friendly policies for years. On Amazon’s main campus, they regularly see 2000+ dogs being brought in. I couldn’t find an estimate for Lowes, but there isn’t a single time I’m there and don’t see a dog or multiples; across all their stores, I’m sure the number is very high.
A case study published in 2021 highlighted the benefits of having dogs in the workplace. They concluded that there was a “positive impact on social cohesion, a feeling of community, and an increase of the information exchange.” They also noted that there are risks and requirements necessary to see the benefits of a pet-friendly business. You can read the full case study below in the article sources.

“We played a tough game last week against Bonita Vista, but we came out and made some changes offensively. I think the final scoreboard indicates of that,” Vista High coach Dan Williams said. “Our kids responded to the challenge, and I was excited about that. We put it on our O-line tonight, and they did a great job.”
Vista continued to the run the ball, and the game plan was extremely effective against the visiting Wildcats (1-1). The Panthers (1-1) only punted once, and that was with 31 seconds left to play in the third quarter. The score was 61-7 in favor of the Panthers at that time.
The Panthers used nine different running backs. Cesar Mariscal had the most touches, 11 carries for 68 yards and two TDs. Donovan Pati carried the ball twice for two TDs. Vista sophomore Nick Stormo didn’t have a touch until the second half, but he still managed to rush for 107 yards and a TD on nine carries. Vista quarterback J.T. Trevino III threw the ball only once, a 5-yard pass to Zach Morel. The senior quarterback rushed for 71 yards.
It was an impressive victory over the Wildcats, who came into the game as the 10th ranked team out the CIF Southern Section Inland Division. Last week, Paloma Valley defeated J.W. North High School 34-0 in its first game of the season.
“When the dam breaks, it breaks,” Paloma Valley coach Bert Esposito said. “They came out physical and strong, and our kids did not respond well. We are not as bad as we indicated tonight, but tonight we played like that. If you can’t stop the run, you’re not going to win very many games.”
Vista’s offense was impressive, but its defense held steadfast. It forced four turnovers, three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
“We pride ourselves in how we play defense here,” Williams said. “Our defense plays really well. It’s consistent.”
Paloma Valley…0….7…0…0 – 7
Other Score – Westview 35 – Rancho Buena Vista O
