Vancouver-based Numinus Wellness Inc. (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF) has officially entered the American psychedelics-assisted therapy market and announced its new leadership team.
On Friday, the psychedelics company said the transaction to acquire Novamind Inc. has been completed and received a final order from the British Columbia Supreme Court.
As a result of the acquisition, Numinus now operates 13 wellness clinics, four clinical research facilities and a dedicated psychedelics research lab.
This acquisition expands the company’s services, geographic reach and revenues including the expansion of virtual therapy services at U.S.-based clinics and increased group therapy offerings in Canada.
Last April, Numinus announced it entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Novamind for $26.2 million.
Numinus stock went down by 4.3 per cent on Tuesday to $0.34 on the Toronto Securities Exchange.
The new leadership team has been announced
Numinus also announced the appointments of Reid Robison as Chief Clinical Officer and Paul Thielking as Chief Science Officer, who both come from Novamind.
Robison was the Chief Medical Officer at Novamind and he is a board-certified psychiatrist and co-founder of the ketamine-assisted mental health clinics Cedar Psychiatry.
He is also the medical director for the eating disorders clinic Center for Change and previously coordinated a study on MDMA-assisted therapy for eating disorders, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).
Robison also led a pivotal intravenous ketamine study for treatment-resistant depression by Janssen, leading up to that company’s recent FDA-approval of Spravato. Robison is also an adjunct professor at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University.
Thielking was most recently Chief Scientific Officer at Novamind and is certified in psychiatry, hospice and palliative medicine and integrative medicine.
He is the principal investigator for a psilocybin-enhanced group psychotherapy intervention for cancer patients with depression and a researcher on a study for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for opioid use disorder.
He has extensive experience in creating group therapy interventions for patients with serious illnesses and has successfully integrated ketamine-assisted psychotherapy services within an academic outpatient oncology clinic for cancer patients with depression.
Thielking was also the director of psycho-oncology at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute for five years and previously an associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Utah.
Numinus also announced that Michael Tan –who was hired in 2019– has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer and will oversee all operations and lead strategic directives to drive revenue growth. Tan has been instrumental in Numinus’ growth, and joined the Company in 2019.
The company said that due to the increased medical and research expertise added to Numinus’ expanded executive team, Evan Wood, Chief Medical Officer, will continue in his role in a reduced capacity, “in order to enable him to maintain his important advocacy, clinical and teaching work.”
Wood will be involved less but continue at Numinus over the long term and will continue as the company’s Chief Medical Officer through the integration of Novamind.
Novamind clinics in Utah and Arizona will continue to operate as their current brand until later this year, at which point all locations will be rebranded to reflect the Numinus brand.
“This acquisition elevates our collective service offering, and we look forward to helping an even greater number of people access effective and safe treatments to support mental wellness,” Numinus CEO Payton Nyquvest said.
“We warmly welcome the Novamind team to Numinus and believe our shared values and focus on client service will ensure a seamless integration as we continue to grow as one unified company.”

News > Moving Xbox games made simple with the Xbox Series X
Microsoft have made backwards compatibility a priority for their next-gen console, as gamers will be able to play past Xbox games on the new Xbox Series X. On the other hand, Sony claim that only 100 of the most popular PS4 games will be available once the PlayStation 5 launches later this year.
The backwards compatibilities of the Xbox One X suggest that the Xbox Series X will have the ability to take older Xbox games from 720p and 1080p into 4K and even in some cases, 8K resolutions.
The Xbox Series X features an SSD, which is much faster in comparison to previous Xbox consoles that use HDD. This means that Xbox gamers will not be able to play Xbox Series X games off an external hard drive, though you will still be able to store games on an HDD. To access Xbox Series X games they will need to be transferred to the internal solid-state drive of the console, or to an external hard drive.
That is not to say that older Xbox One external HDDs are completely redundant. Xbox gamers are able to insert external HDDs into the Xbox Series X’s USB port to run Xbox One games seamlessly, and even store data — including Xbox Series X games — that is not directly linked to a next-gen Xbox game that is being played.
Storage issues appear to be mitigated by the Xbox Series X. The console has 1 TB storage space, and an optional 1 TB storage expansion card allowing for games to be installed and run just as they would with the console’s own SSD.
It would be fair to suggest that Sony’s PS5 itself is shaping up to be the better console, but are Microsoft doing more for their gamers?
If you’ve been Team Xbox from day one then the greater backward compatibility of the Xbox Series X, and the ability to transfer Xbox Series X games between console and external HDD as you need, certainly makes the console a lot more tempting. Even more tempting when you consider there will be a limited number of next-gen titles available at launch. For all the greatness the PS5 has to offer, this is one aspect that Sony appear unable to match.
With roughly seven months still to go until the consoles hit the market though, expect a lot more news to come from both Microsoft and Sony.

It’s been an eventful 48 hours for Epic Games, to say the least. Yesterday, the publishers of the popular battle royale game launched a — somewhat audacious — Fortnite live event, aimed at tech giant, Apple, specifically, but also Google following the removal of Fortnite from their application stores. Epic subsequently filed two legal suits against the Apple and Google Store “monopolies”…

A few years ago Temple Grandin came as my guest to Louisville, Kentucky. I had the opportunity to pick Temple up from the airport and then take her to the Seelbach hotel where she would be staying for a few days. After freshening up for a while at her room Temple came down and we went to the hotel’s restaurant. I was looking forwards to spending some time with Temple and at the same time enjoying the delicious food at the hotel’s restaurant. Unfortunately, the evening was marred as Temple had a toothache that did not allow her to enjoy dinner to the fullest.
Temple’s tooth pain was a throbbing dull ache of moderate intensity. It really bothered her. Because I was concerned, I asked Temple whether she was experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold foods or liquids and whether it stabbed her when biting down on food. Her symptoms seemed to be all over the place. It was clear that she needed to go and see a dentist and Temple recognized the fact. The pain had been ongoing for quite a while and Temple had been procrastinating going to the dentist. Ever since childhood going to the dentist had been a painful experience for her. She just could not stand the fluorescent lights starring at her from the ceiling, the smell of the dentist’s office, and the sound of the drill.
Temple was experiencing dental anxiety. The experience is somewhat akin to a postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) derived from both her initial visits to the dentist and her hypersensitivity as an autistic individual. In addition, it is also possible that all of the different stimuli that she made reference to (e.g., sound of the drill) were automatically causing anxiety and fear by classical conditioning. Neuroscience has discovered neural mechanisms underlying anxiety disorders: in one pathway, the limbic system (primarily the amygdala) contributes to the development of a phobia, while on another pathway the frontal lobes influence the maintenance of both specific fears and generalized anxiety. I guess that once Temple’s expectations were set she was a slave to her way of thinking. Many autistic individuals build sets of rigid predictions and expectations and it is very difficult to break free from them.
I must confess that I share the same anxiety as Temple about going to the dentist, but in her case, it was higher by several orders of magnitude. My executive functions allow me to overcome my fears as I understand that, generally speaking, pain is a protective mechanism. As for tooth pain in particular, nerves inside the pulp tell you about the possibility of decay, a loose filling, a cracked tooth or even an abscess. Although, I do understand that in many cases toothache needs dental care, I do not see this as forcing me into taking a decision; rather, I sell this to myself as a way of avoiding bigger problems down the road.
I have visited a large number of clinics that take care of health related issues for autistic individuals. In regards to needs assessments, dental care usually comes within the top five of their list. When establishing a dental clinic for autistic patients I have learned that implementing a few things may help both staff and patients:
1) Always establish good communication. Explain the procedure with drawings, if possible, in advance. I find it convenient to have a dry erase board or dental models as props available for the dentist to visually explain the procedure.
2) Do not rush the procedure. Slow down the pace, as in #1 always explain what you are doing.
3) I found an innovation by a dentist, the mother of an autistic child, quite useful. It was a body pillow that fitted the length of the dentist’s chair. The pillow gave some amount of pressure around the body of the patient and served to relieve anxiety. The pillow acted as a pressure vest or a squeeze machine.
4) Have a whole body swing outside of the office. In cases of tantrums or if one is already taking place, the whole body swing may help the patient to calm down. Also, if he/she is accompanied by a caregiver/parent, both of them can go in the swing.
5) Be cognizant of the needs of a child with autism. Have a trained staff. Get referrals to service from parents at your local layman support organization.

Fuego - a scar seems to mark the summit of the volcano - photo 2018.06.08 / Marcela López Gálvez / elPeriódico
In Guatemala, the pyroclastic flows succeeded one another on the 8th and during the night of June 8th to 9th in Fuego.
This new supply of ash will hinder relief operations, such as lahars, caused by remobilization of ashes by heavy rains.
The drainages Las Lajas and El Jute, on the eastern slope of the volcano, remain at very high risk. The cause of the continuation of pyroclastic flows outside paroxysm leaves some uncertainty about what causes them ... a scar seems to mark the top of the Fuego in some photos.

After the eruption, the controversy swells about the responsibilities of the supervisory authorities, Insivumeh and Conred ... case to follow.
Note that Conred has just released an information note on the difference between lava flows and pyroclastic flows.

Not much change at Kilauea yesterday:
The fountaining on the fissure 8 remains important, and the channelized lava joins the ocean, where the plumes are however smaller because of the change in the atmospheric conditions.
Incandescence is observed at fissure 22, as well as minor lava activity at fissures16 / 18. Less degassing marks cracks 24, 9 and 10.

The Volcanological Observatory of Vanuatu has lowered the alert level of the Ambae volcano on June 7 to 2, due to the stabilization of its activity.
The danger zone is now limited to 2 km radius around the active Voui Lake's vent, and to the areas in the yellow zone (see map). There are no more explosions or volcanic plumes issued since May. However, the ashes emitted during the last eruption can modify the behavior of streams, produce floods, carry debris and cause landslides during periods of heavy rain.
Volcanic activity remains marked by instability, characterized by emissions of vapors and / or volcanic gases.

The PVMBG issued an opinion assessing Agung's activity as at 7 June 2018.
The last eruption took place on May 29 at 5:39 pm, accompanied by a plume of ash that reached a height of 500 meters above the summit. The last VONA report is orange.
The most recent volume of the lava dome is estimated at 23 million cubic meters, one-third of the empty volume of the crater.
High and low frequency earthquakes are still recorded indicating magma movement from depth to surface.
At the deformation level, for the short term starting from the second week of May 2018 to the present, the trend of inflation is observed on the GPS or Tiltmeter network. The result of the deformation modeling indicates that there is still a build up of magma pressure at a depth of about 3-4 km below the summit.
The SO2 measured using the DOAS scanner shows a flow of between 90 and 203 tonnes / day.
The satellites still record the existence of hot spots in Mount Agung crater, indicating the possibility of a low-level spilling on the surface of the crater.
As a result, Gunung Agung's level of activity is still at Level III (Standby). The volcanic activity of Gunung Agung is still relatively high, not yet stable and still has an eruptive potential located within a radius of 4 km from the summit. Outside the area, the community can do usual activities. For now, there is still no need for evacuation.

Square Enix hasn’t had the best conferences at E3. Most of the time their games appear at either XBOX or Sony and so they end up showing the same stuff again. With no Sony this year they have gone with having a full on conference instead of a pre-recorded video. So lets see what they have for us, sit back and enjoy some quality content. If you want to catch the full conference you can watch it here, or you can have a look down below for something that tickles your fancy.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Made the right choice with FF 7 being showcased first. Not only was the hype real but I don’t think people would have waited without rioting. The big pull of it all was seeing combat in action, we also got a nice deep dive into how it works. It all finished with a extended trailer that showcased a bunch of stuff but lets be serious, seeing Tifa in game was something special. To then also get her and Arith fighting was amazing. The release date of 3.03.2020 was showed off again along with a collectors edition.
Life is strange 2
This was a little weird, there was no new trailer for the next episode or anything else new. Just a bunch of scenes from the released episodes and streamers reacting to them. I haven’t played the game yet but luckily I’m not as serious about spoilers. Did you get spoiled let me know down below in the comments.
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES Remastered
So obviously showing off one Final Fantasy isn’t enough. In comes Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a game I never played but now can enjoy on my switch. Cause if your not re-releasing your games on switch then your doing something wrong
Octopath Traveler released on stream not too long ago and Square doesn’t want you forgetting that. If you don’t have a switch (you need to get one) and have a PC, I’d suggest picking it up.
THE LAST REMNANT Remastered
Another port and another game I get to pick up on my switch. I remember seeing copies of The Last Remnant in stores when I was younger but never picked it up. Now that I’m older I find myself going back to games I missed, hopefully Last Remnant doesn’t disappoint.
Dragon Quest Builders 2
I have no skill with building stuff but Builders 2 is looking like a good combination of minecraft and Dragon Quest.
Dragon Quest 10 Switch
We got another look at Dragon Quest 10 for the switch but nothing really different then previous trailers. I would have like some DLC to be announced along side it but we can’t have everything.
Square Enix Collective
The Square Enix Collective got to strut its stuff with a video showing off their releases these past couple of years.
After looking at the past we got a look at one of their new titles. These smaller game show how Square is looking to help more indie developers get their games out into gamer hands.
Battalion also got some screen time to remind you it is out on steam now.
SQUARE ENIX MUSIC
If you haven’t heard, Square has given access to a massive collection of Final Fantasy music across multiple games. You can find it on a range of different services, so check out the trailer to see if your preferred service is one of them.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind
We got this a day ago but what is Square without some Kingdom Hearts randomness to decipher. I’m pumped for some DLC and my face contorting into a confused mess at the end of it.
Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers
FF XIV’s new expansion was a bit of a surprise considering the massive amount of info we got just a couple of weeks ago. Saying that who am I to turn down a epic story trailer.
Dying Light 2
More gameplay of Dying Light 2 is a nice surprise. I’m just not sold on the game yet though. Not sure if it is the colour pallet or how empty this zombie filled world should be but there’s still time for it to grow on me.
Romancing Saga 3 & SaGa SCARLET GRACE: AMBITIONS
More JRPG’s coming west and to the switch!
War of the Visions FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS
More Final Fantasy is never a bad thing and if your into mobile games then Square Enix has you covered.
New IP by People Can Fly and it looks to take an interesting direction with it’s setting and monsters. I’m very interested in what the final product will be.
Oninaki is more JRPG goodness with some solid looking action gameplay and it looks gorgeous. Sign me up!
FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered
Since the greatest Final Fantasy is getting a remake, it makes sense to give the lesser ones a chance to shine. Even if said shine is just a remaster, I expect many people will just be happy to play it again.
Square played it smart putting it’s two most expected games at the start and finish of their conference. You should really just watch the full Avengers presentation below to enjoy the full reveal. Though if your interested in the cliff notes. We get to see the game in action (no UI or how gameplay works), Taskmaster shows up, get to meet the main cast, deep dive into the game, extra characters and regions will be free, no lootboxes!!, coming to all platforms except for switch, PS4 exclusives and early beta access planned. Finally we got a release date of May 15th 2020.
It was a big conference by Square and I think they had something for everyone there. I’m especially happy that they improved upon previous years and changed up the format. I hope they take what they learnt and use it for all their future gaming events. As for the games, I’m a very happy gamer though my wallet won’t be by the time we hit 2020. We have one more conference tomorrow with Nintendo and I’m personally hoping for some big surprises. If you’ve been missing out on the E3 news, you can read my coverage of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, XBOX’s conference and Ubisofts. Catch me on twitter @TheLankiller for my reacts to news coming out of E3 and for everything else gaming your in the right place.

For the first time ever, Rovio is giving away its original Angry Birds for free. The original Angry Birds ever since its existence has always been a paid app, it's never even had a moment to be free to download, till today.
However the reason it's free might not be just down to good will, it might be because Rovio is falling behind hugely in the App Store. People have noticed that Rovio has fallen out of the top 80 highest grossing iPhone apps, for the first time ever since May 2010. This must be worrying Rovio, because their main source of revenue is from their games. Their games now do have in-app purchases though which I'm sure they're hoping will bring in revenue instead of just selling the app.

It's amazing how things develop. After all, this blog started out as a news section for the rest of the website. With encouragement from readers, it has become a place for relating my countryside wanderings and musings about the world of outdoor activity. Walking, cycling and photography all are part of what I do out-of-doors and, hopefully, they will continue to inspire me to keep adding entries on here. Of course, there needs to be something of interest to you, dear reader, too and I hope that's the case. Thanks for coming.
Eventually, my ongoing attention to website appearances was going to include what you find here. The changes have been evolutionary and updated some underlying technologies as well. There has been simplification too as well as some rethinking of what should be in the different sections.
All the images in the photo gallery are now the same size and many film photos were rescanned. Some have been replaced with digital ones and the prospect of doing so was the cause of some added trip ideation. In part, the wanderings around Calderdale, Marsden and Hadfield were inspired by this and day trips to Dublin and the Lake District also aided the effort. Some photos were removed without the prospect of any replacement too. Sometimes, images can feature subjects that no longer inspire or have been added when photo albums acted as components of trip reports, things that now appear on this blog. Times change and so do we.
As I was doing all this, knowledge of the happenings in Ukraine hit hard since global wanderings feel more plausible in the absence of global strife. That feeling has eased now and several trips to Ireland have happened. These took me to places new and old. The former of these included Lough Derg, the Slive Felim hills and the Clare Glens while the latter included Killarney and parts of West limerick like Adare. More may follow yet.
This past spring has been a busy time for walking in areas of hill country and growing boredom with what is near me in Cheshire and Derbyshire after traipsing around various places repeatedly during the constrained times of the pandemic led me to look elsewhere and Marsden caught my attention again after around fifteen years of not venturing near the place.
First up was a trot from Marsden to Hadfield that retraced steps not taken since 2002 when I was only starting hill wandering and a dull day heavily limited photographic efforts even if it brightened up near the end of the day. The reprise saw brighter sunnier weather albeit with a bracing aspect in the form of a stiff chilling easterly wind. Even so, I enjoyed my stroll along the Kirklees Way as it rounded Wessenden Moor and passed numerous reservoirs. Eventually, I passed onto the Pennine Way that conveyed me across the A635, over Black Hill and down into Longdendale. There was an intrusion in the form of an American hiker with two dogs who asked for a photo while my mouth was full of food but that passed and it was the edge above Crowden Great Brook that really held my attention.
On Holy Thursday in 2007, I headed north from Marsden to Littleborough as part of an ongoing Pennine Way project but low cloud intruded on the start of that walk so photos were limited. That made a partial reprise of that hike a possibility so I started from Todmorden on a southbound hike to capture what I had missed. Ultimately, I overdid it and arrived in Marsden in darkness so the compensation had not been gained and it took several returns to the area before photographic possibilities were largely consummated. Still, Calderdale and its nearby moors were kind to me even if their popularity slowed me down at times. From Blackstone Edge, things were much quieter but the day was moving on as I made the most of the available light. Even so, my sightings of the Castleshaw reservoirs left me in doubt as to my misremembrance enforced tardiness. More was to come in my sightings of Pule Hill and Holme Moor in very much faded light. That was to apply to Redbrook, Black Moss and Swellands reservoirs as well so thoughts of a return were forced into my mind. Eventually light failed and I decided against a steep descent on not finding the path so I went another way that got me to Wessenden Reservoir after an improvised crossing in the absence. Still, the waterfall looked appealing in the night light and it was now easy strolling back into Marsden in the quietude of the time of day. That did nothing to remediate my mixing up train times so I had a much-delayed train journey back to Macclesfield with a tight connection in Manchester that was aided by the last train to Macclesfield being late. That was just as well since there should have been another but for there being a shortage of train drivers at the time. The day had been eventful and I am not just talking about a momentary standoff with a cyclist around Calderdale either; they seem to be getting everywhere but that is another subject.
While the stage was set for several returns, the weather was not playing ball when I needed it to do just that. Still, I returned to Marsden in hope. Things looked promising as I headed out of Marden along Waters Road. My good fortune persisted as I continued along the track by Willykay Clough. Unfortunately, it was not to last and I lost out when I was wanting the cloud cover to stay away. There also was a biting wind from a northerly direction but that did nothing to keep away the numerous hill runners who were out and about. They went another way so all was quieter again but the sun was in hiding. Scrambler bikes were heard and I wondered what the point of their short rides was with their turning back at a pass to avoid being spotted. To me, it looked a little cheeky and I continued on my way on a day full of compensations. One was finding that path that I missed on the previous hike and I was glad that I had not tried it in the dark even if I had a head torch (there has been a scary moment when one did not fall to hand but all was well). The could cover had broken by this point and it have been understandable if I had been wondering at my impatience but the cold would have explained that. By the time that I got back to Marsden, many were outside enjoying what by then was feeling like a warm summer’s day. For me, it was back to the train station for a more timely return home.
Even with the same midday prediction of trouble with cloud cover as the previous encounter with the area, I persisted with another Marsden to Hadfield walking idea. There were variations from where OI had gone on previous trots that the walked started similarly to its predecessor. It took a map enquiry from another walker to highlight my slow progress in adjusting to a post-COVID world and I reproached myself for being unforthcoming but I had a long way to go and an appointment with hope. There were bright spots and I made images of the Castleshaw reservoirs that advanced on what went before. The same could be said about Pule Hill and its surroundings because the aftermaths of hail showers bring their recompenses. Other places brought a bit more photographic joy too and a bit of National Trust work made the way to the A635 much easier. Beyond that, navigation and bog trotting became more challenging so getting to Black Hill was slow work. Once there, I did not delay and started the descent to Longdendale by a gentler moorland route that left me with a longer walk to Hadfield and its train station. Even so, the gentle quietude of what is now a heavily industrialised valley laden with reservoirs and pylons prevailed and other walkers shared words with me. Daylight was in short supply as I neared Hadfield but it held long enough for me not to need a head torch. The day had been long and tiring but there was a lot to savour.
Eventually, there was resolution and near-complete closure. The last Friday of April came free and the weather remained sunny all day so another attempt was made. In many ways, this was a reprise of the third Marsden trip of the year, albeit with many deviations. It also saw me take my time in many ways. The route took me away from Waters Road and around by March Haigh Reservoir before I retraced old steps. Heat haze may have affected views over the Castleshaw reservoirs but what I go was as good as I needed it to be so I was sated. Brun Clough Reservoir saw a visit and I got over the wire fence to rejoin the Pennine Way because my patience did not extend to finding the stile and I often wonder how entry points to access land get so rationed. That made no impact on my mood as I attended to my photographic objectives. Various reservoirs were ticked off a list that also included Wessenden Reservoir and I crossed some rough ground using my access rights so as to avoid retracing steps. There even was an ascent of Pule Hill so this was a day that was working for me and the evening light was attractive as I returned to Marsden to start my train journey back to Macclesfield. it was now time to look to other places because the moors around Marsden may have seen times when things did not work out for me but they also kept me engaged in so many other ways as well.
Recently, I noticed that this website felt a bit sluggish so I moved it to a new server in a lift and shift operation. This was another act in a spurt of website tinkering that is ongoing. Alternatives to WordPress and Drupal are being tried so I am examining Hugo and Django along with any other tools that come my way.
Of these, Hugo has been used in a few of my websites this year and my public transport website was one of them. While its overhaul did mean moving to a static website, automated building along with added speed and security were among the advantages of making the change. This route is a technical one but I am largely happy with the changeover and have used the same approach for other websites as well.
While other websites are being overhauled, any changes to this website will happen organically. Its use of WordPress, TextPattern, Bootstrap and other technologies will remain. Where there is a need to change things, Django offers other possibilities so they could get assessed as well. Otherwise, the main priority of sharing experiences and inspirations remains so these will appear as they come my way.
My perusal of a recent copy of TGO magazine brought me across a few possibilities in an issue having the strapline "Walk the World" on its cover. When it comes to overseas journeying, I tend to take what alpinists might call a centrist approach. What I mean is that I have a habit of basing myself in one location and exploring that and places situated around and about it. The other approach would be to go from place to place on an itinerary.
Certainly, my usual approach makes it much easier to organise a trip and it matters more when I am going further away from home: just book somewhere to stay and sort out how to travel there and back again. After that, it is possible to concentrate on finding one’s feet and experiencing any local delights to a deeper level than you would if moving from place to place. It also works well for independent travelling and that is what I did before the pandemic came our way.
There are many trips to Scotland and the Isle of Man where I have taken the centrist approach and it has come in handy for overseas escapades featuring Iceland, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Canada. One notable exception has been Norway but, even there, I have limited my stopping points and there was a time that I traipsed from place to place around Scotland too.
Thus, the list of possible base "camps" for European excursions in that recent issue of TGO caught my eye. Two places on the lists have seen my footfall already: Innsbruck in Austria and Sóller in Mallorca. The first of these has an embarrassment of riches surrounding it that easily caused quandaries during my extended weekend stay during May 2016. The others need to remain on file for the future. They include Senja in Norway, Gavarnie in the Pyrenees, Sotres in Picos de Europa, Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites and Bled in Slovenia. All are near to the type of countryside that I relish so they could be worth seeking should opportunities arise.
In a similar vein, Outside also listed the best mountain towns in the U.S.A. and this too struck a chord with me since I have had designs on exploring American mountain country for a while. For example, the prospect of spending time around Denver and Boulder in Colorado during the summer of 2020 foundered because of the pandemic. So, getting a wider list could be helpful and there are twenty-four entries. The source article is behind a paywall but it is worth becoming a paid subscriber to get a list like this.
The possibilities include Cordova in Alaska, Sedona in Arizona, Bentonville in Arkansas, Truckee in California, Durango & Telluride in Colorado, Stanley in Idaho, Copper Harbor in Michigan, Bozeman & Whitefish in Montana, Asheville in North Carolina, North Conway in New Hampshire, Taos in New Mexico, Lake Placid in New York, Bend in Oregan, Spearfish in South Dakota, Chattanooga in Tennessee, Terlingua in Texas, Park City in Utah, Stowe in Vermont, Roanoke in Virginia, Leavenworth in Washington State, Davis in West Virginia and Jackson in Wyoming. Here, I have ordered things by state so you will need to go to the article to get their ordering and the details that they supply for there is a lot to uncover about these. Many already are places that I have checked out but others are not.
It is all very fine to have lists of locations but there are other considerations like accessibility using public transport and the availability and cost of accommodation. Some locations are sure to be well known and hence will be busy places so knowing quieter times like shoulder seasons will prove useful as could using the services of a travel company. Of course, you cannot go anywhere without having the ideas in the first place.
We live in stormy times and stormy weather has been our lot in recent days. There also is a wintry feel since snow is falling in places as I write these words. Often, I have written here about the storms of life with the understanding that being out in nature is so restorative.
That has been the refrain from John Muir and so many others. We hear in the outdoor press about those who are unhappy in their everyday life and then leave that after them, at least for a while, to take on an outdoors challenge. That also features in the stories of people like Elise Downing who ran around the coast of Britain and became a Silver winner in The Great Outdoors Awards for her book Coasting. Some even have followed this kind of endeavour by changing their whole lifestyles.
The subject of soothing solitude has been mentioned in my writings numerous times and is one of the motivations for my excursions into nature. The landscapes may be human-influenced in so many ways yet it is their present-day emptiness that draws me. It might my introversion but I relish being away from others for periods. It certainly has drawn me out in wilder lands in Scotland and England but it also has its limitations.
Dependence on incursions into emptier lands still does not eliminate dependence on others. First of all, they need to be conserved but there are other things too. Political developments can affect them and my reverence for the Scottish Highlands and Islands made me emotionally vulnerable in 2014 when Scotland was debating its constitutional future. That led me to look elsewhere.
Unfortunately, that too can be bedevilled by global events like the ongoing pandemic and geopolitical tensions in different places. Developments like Britain’s exit from the European Union can unsettle as well. In many ways, this demonstrates the problems with having oases and havens outside of oneself. Going elsewhere for peace and healing can be forestalled by other intrusions all too easily.
At the start of 2020, I was reading Anthony Storr’s Solitude and the enduring lesson from that book was the power of interior self-efforts. That certainly has for me been an ongoing effort in life when solitude allowed me to heal enough during a career break to go back to working again and get through an emotional period in my work life. The same could be said for dealing with grief, loss and upheaval since the passing of my parents who thankfully were spared the travails of the pandemic and other intrusions.
It has taken interior efforts to deal with the fear and restrictions of the pandemic too. Initially, I was left floundering and a heavy withdrawal from caffeine consumption lasted several months but has left me sleeping more soundly nowadays. It took me a while to find again the relaxing effects of outdoor wandering and I will not forget the benefits of a circular stroll from home in May 2020 that took in Croker Hill, Bosley Reservoir, Bosley and Gawsorth in what was a wider sweep than I recognised at the time.
Books feature in interior journeys too and they certainly do in my case. Peaceful, evocative descriptions of nature have been mentioned in other postings that you will find here but there has been another strand to this over the last twelve months that may make some readers feel awkward. That has gone along the paths of faith and spirituality. Authors like John Barton, Karen Armstrong and Edward Feser have been on the left-brained portion of this reading ramble but it has taken a more mystical turn with authors like Richard Rohr, John O’Donohue and others that I have yet to read. This is experiential reading with a little more than what you might find in nature or travel writing.
That is not to say that I have abandoned nature writing because it deals with bodily sensing but that it has taken more of a backseat for now. There is a whole body of writing that awaits experiencing and brings its share of helpful peace, healing and meaning. To mention this is to bare my soul a little yet it could influence how I approach my wanderings and show them in a different light. The wonder of nature and the way that light falls on a landscape remains attractive for me but this may be encountered in a more holistic mindset.
Too often, I have felt that some frame outdoor activity too superficially and focus on their efforts to the point of disregarding their surroundings. That makes me look at the athleticism of some as being too shallow an existence when a more transcendental experience is possible. Certainly, that follows from the thinking of people such as John Muir and Henry David Thoreau as well as even the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Physical condition and skillfulness remain important but they need to serve some higher purpose.
For many people, this involves being with others and adding the ambience of nature’s wonders to this certainly enhances that. That is good in itself but there is something about being alone in a landscape that it soothes and heals with its peacefulness. There are times when apparent absence is full of presence and becomes what is needed by a stressed and overwhelmed soul.

EU and global experts discussed how to address the complex issue of diversity and inclusion in organisations and make sure that the COVID-19 pandemic does not widen the inequality gap in the workplace at joint ACCA, PwC and EBRD web-conference
While everyone agrees that organisations embracing diversity and inclusion deliver better results, increase profits and are more innovative, high-level intentions by EU institutions and companies’ boards are not always being translated into real progress. Attacks against minorities, discrimination and hate speech unfortunately remain a reality in many EU member states and globally, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only set back the progress. The need to create genuine and sustained equality has thus rarely been more clear or urgent.
Over the years, the EU has enacted many laws against discrimination on the grounds of sex, age, religion or belief, racial or ethnic origin, disability or sexual orientation, including recently with an EU action plan against racism, and the first-ever EU Strategy for LGBTIQ+ equality. The European Commission also announced as part of its five-year gender equality strategy that it will propose binding pay transparency measures, as well as a new disability strategy in 2021. However, relying on legislation will not be enough – organisational culture changes and proactive leadership are essential in creating environment where everyone feels they belong, are valued and can live up to their full potential.
Striving to seize the opportunity to advance this agenda together, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), PwC and the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) organised a lively discussion with key experts from the European Commission, the European Parliament, Eurofound, Adecco, the European Disability Forum and Booking.com , followed by over 350 participants in the EU and beyond, on how to address the complex issue of diversity, inclusion and belonging while supporting the agenda in the post-pandemic workplace.
Helen Brand, OBE, Chief Executive of ACCA said in her opening speech: ‘One thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us is the need to reappraise our values and approaches. The rebuilding of our lives, our economies and our professions is an opportunity to reset that cannot be missed.
‘Diversity and inclusion are collectively one key component of this; building towards a better world where all have the same range of opportunities available to them. ACCA is currently focusing globally on the theme of Inclusion in action, with our new report, Leading Inclusion, which recommends actions to promote diversity and inclusion in organisations, from establishing a D&I policy to leadership principles that set the tone from the top. The report also suggests actions that professional accountants can take to develop this agenda’.
The discussions confirmed that organisations embracing diversity not only widen their access to the best talents, but, by doing so, deliver superior performance across all its aspects and are more creative and innovative. But also that things become more complex when applied to the workplace: determining what makes a team diverse, for example, can be less straightforward. The Covid-19 pandemic is an opportunity to reset, to pause to think how we can do better, which cannot be missed.
Samira Rafaela, MEP said : ‘Equality doesn’t always mean treating everyone the same. It also means taking into account inequalities that certain groups face in this society and acting accordingly. Parity is powerful. The time is now for policy makers and business leaders to step up and make it a reality.’
The speakers explored the impacts - both negative, such as the disproportionate impact on women and unequal access to telework, and positive, such as increased focus on wellbeing and more inclusive practices - of “New Ways of Working” on their D&I agenda. Online working represents an opportunity for people with disabilities, but online opportunities are only really opportunities when the online and virtual spaces are fully accessible and inclusive. Post-pandemic, we need to take advantage of opportunities and create office and online spaces accessible and inclusive for everyone.The debate showed that data and metrics are a key focus going forward, to ensure consistency that would allow all stakeholders to assess progress to achieving the diversity, inclusion and belonging objectives we all wish to see. It is very important to align how we can capture and report this data globally and leverage it for improved diversity strategic decision making.
Vinciane Istace, partner and Diversity & Inclusion leader for PwC Luxembourg said: ‘ Inclusion is the relentless focus on the quality of the human experience in the workplace. We should not miss the data imperative in assessing the shift that the pandemic is creating into the talent cycle . Measurements such as Gender Pay Gap and reporting should lead to more transparency and to the emergence of new leaders with collaboration and inclusion at the core of their role.
Barbara Rambousek , Director of Gender & Economic Inclusion at the EBRD concluded: ‘At the EBRD, inclusion and gender lie at the heart of what we do. For example, we pro-actively support our clients to open up skills and jobs opportunities for people with disabilities, and to create inclusive transport and infrastructure solutions that are accessible to all’.

When selecting a slot, be sure to pay close attention to its volatility and payout ratio. A low volatility slot will give you frequent, small wins, while a medium volatility slot will have a medium hit rate and payouts. A high volatility slot is harder to hit but offers big potential wins. Many seasoned players prefer the high volatility math model. As the popularity of slot machines increases, more game developers are developing new features and improving existing ones.
Multi-coin/multi-line slots are very popular and offer players a number of ways to win. These slots are usually based on a theme or movie and have several paylines. Many of these games also have a progressive jackpot that grows with every bet made. This type of jackpot can be huge, but it’s important to note that you can only win a certain amount on these machines.
Multi-coin/multi-line slot machines have more paylines than single-coin slot machines. This gives them a higher payback percentage. Many of them also feature bonus symbols that increase your chances of hitting a jackpot. Also, multi-coin/multi-line machines often offer bonus rounds and free spins.
Multi-coin/multi-line slots have many advantages over single-coin slot machines. The main advantage is that they allow you to stake more coins on multiple paylines, and the machine will then assess your chances of hitting a winning combination. Many of these machines also have bonus features, so it’s important to know how to make the most of them.
Buy-a-pay slots are a type of online slot machine that allows players to play with more than one coin at a time. This type of slot allows you to unlock pieces of potential paylines with each coin you play. For example, one coin can unlock the middle line of the reels. If you win a round by landing three symbols on this line, you’ll receive a payout. The paytable for this type of slot machine will also let you know how much you can wager per spin.
Buy-a-pay slots are similar to traditional slot machines. The difference is that you can put more than one coin into each payline, and the more coins you put into the machine, the more paylines you’ll activate. In addition, buy-a-pay slots often offer higher payout percentages than traditional slot machines. It’s important to understand how these slots work before playing one, though.
Buy-a-pay slots are also different from progressive slots. With progressive slots, the amount of rewards increases over time, by adding a percentage of your bet to the pot. If you get lucky, you can win a lot of money! But if you’re on a tight budget, it’s best to stay away from buy-a-pay slots and play multi-line games instead.
Scatter symbols in slot games are important for triggering bonus features. If they appear on all reels, they can trigger free spins, a bonus game feature round, or even a big payout. Regardless of what type of slot game you choose, scatter symbols are vital for a great gaming experience. They can help you increase your bankroll and make your gaming session even more exciting.
Typically, scatter symbols are 2d pictures that contain writing and are responsible for unlocking special bonus features. They are the most valuable symbols in slots. Scatter symbols can trigger bonus rounds and free spins, and they also increase your chance of winning. If you can line up three or more scatter symbols on a payline, you will trigger a bonus round.
Scatter symbols in slot games are the most important symbols in video slots. These symbols trigger bonus features and free spins, and can unlock mini games. They are also among the highest-paying symbols.
Bonus rounds on slot games give players the opportunity to win bigger prizes and increase their bankroll. They are triggered by specific symbols on the reels. These bonus rounds can be as simple as a wheel of fortune or as complex as boss battles. Some bonus rounds are free to play, while others require real money to activate. When playing for free, the winnings from bonus rounds cannot be withdrawn until they are wagered.
Players may also trigger bonus rounds when a specific combination of symbols lands on the paytable. These special features often align with the theme of the game. For example, an icon depicting a lucky seven or bubble gum can trigger a bonus round. These features are often triggered when a winning combination of symbols lands on the reels.
Bonus rounds on slot games are a great way for online casinos to encourage players to play their games. Though they do not always result in huge payouts, they can add excitement to the game and give players a chance to familiarize themselves with a new site.

Notts County Council agrees £1.2m in support for holiday free school meals until February half-term
Nottinghamshire County Council has agreed £1.2million in funding for food vouchers over the Christmas break to the families of children who are eligible to receive benefits-related free school meals.
The plan, unanimously agreed at the children and young people’s committee on 30 November, will also help to ensure that more than 22,000 children will have access to meals during the February half-term.
Committee chairman Philip Owen, said: “We will also provide targeted support for vulnerable families across Nottinghamshire, who are likely to find winter especially challenging this year such as families of children being supported by a social worker or those at risk of homelessness.
“We hope that by providing these food vouchers we will be easing the pressure on some of the count’s most vulnerable families at Christmas during what has been a very difficult year.”
The plan is part of a wider range of measures to help the lowest income households with food and fuel costs over winter, funded via the £2.3m it received from the Government’s Covid winter grant scheme.
That money arrived after sustained campaigning by the footballer Marcus Rashford and charities working to tackle child food poverty provoked a wave of support across the country.
Councillor Owen said: “I welcome this extra targeted financial support for those in need.
“Our commitment is to allocate more than half of this money towards ensuring children don’t go hungry while they are not in school.”
A similar scheme in October provided council funding of £650,000 to cover the cost of food vouchers for more than 22,000 families in Nottinghamshire and the council pledged then to providing ongoing support.
The authority is writing to school leaders to inform them of this latest development, asking them to make plans for how best to deliver the scheme on the ground – whether that is providing vouchers directly or preparing meal packages for distribution – with further support to come from the council.
Eligible families should expect to be contacted by school staff over the coming weeks to explain how the scheme will work at their child’s school.
“In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together.” – Nancy Fielder, editor.

Are you often fatigued? Does it seem harder for you to successfully complete tasks when compared with those around you? Is your bulge getting to you? The answer to each of these problems is to add weight training to your exercise regime, so continue reading to find out how to begin.
Become informed to ensure that you’re performing the most effective exercises for increasing muscle. Different exercises work on different parts of the body, and can either build muscle mass or tone your muscles. Don’t forget to use a variety of different methods so that each muscle group is worked.
Focus on squats, dead-lifts and bench presses. These exercises are the foundation of a solid muscle-building regimen. They are the exercises that will improve your strength and muscle mass. You should use each exercise in some manner every time you workout.
When you want to bulk up, it is necessary to eat more. You should aim to consume as many calories as it requires for you to put on one pound every week. Look for ways to take in more calories and if you still don’t see a change, think about adding more calories.
Carbohydrates are needed to see success in muscle building. Carbohydrates fuel your body to allow it to perform the exercises that you need to do each day. If you’re seriously training, every day you have to eat about two to three grams of carbohydrates for every pound you weigh.
Continually change your exercise routine. If you aren’t excited by your routine, then you will be more reluctant to work out. Try to very your workout each day to keep working different muscles. By keeping your routine fresh and fun, your workout is more interesting.
It is possible to create the impression that you are larger than you may actually be. You can achieve this by focusing your training efforts on your chest, shoulders and upper back. Doing so will often create the illusion that your waist is smaller then it really is, giving you an appearance of greater upper body girth.
Train opposing muscles when you are in the midst of a workout; try doing the chest and back together, or the hamstrings with quads. By doing this, one muscle can relax as another one works. The result is increasing your workout intensity by limiting the time you need to spend at the gym.
Your caloric intake has to be high enough. Dependent on the quantity of extra muscle you are aiming for, an online calculator can assist you in determining how many extra calories you need to consume. Ensure you’re getting your calories through lean meats and carbohydrates, and don’t forget produce to get you the vitamins and minerals you also require.
Learn to find your limit, but do not stop an exercise until you have used all your resources. When completing a set of exercises, keep pushing yourself until you cannot complete another push-up or lift the bar one more time. You can then begin using heavier weights and doing less repetitions to increase muscle size.
It is necessary to monitor your calories, if you want to build muscle. Keep in mind that some calories will benefit you more than others, and nutrition is very important if you want to develop a body that is strong and lean. Consuming a poor dietary regimen builds fat instead of muscle.
In order to build muscle, you need to watch your calorie intake. There are good calories and bad calories, and you need to know the difference. If you eat a poor diet, you will fail to build muscle and will become fat.
Use many different kinds of grips when doing back exercises. Apply a staged or a mixed grip for performing rack pulls and deadlifts for achieving more strength. Using this staggered grip allows you to twist the bar in one direction while your other hand twists in the opposite direction. This will keep the bar from getting out of control.
In order to strengthen and bulk up your muscles, you need to follow good techniques and methods. Use these suggestions to build muscle properly. With information, techniques and commitment, you can accomplish what you want with your muscles.

OLYMPIA Burner LB-T Series
OLYMPIA Burner, Direct Ignition Type, ignites a spark from a spark pot and directly expose to the fuel oil in the main fuel pipeline. This could shorten the time of ignition.
Operation procedure are as followed:
1. The motor works and rotates the fan to ventilate the remained oil in the nozzle.
2. When the motor is rotating, the gear pump shaft attached to the motor will also rotate and supply fuel oil to the oil heater for boiling and liquefying.
3. The solenoid valve opens for the fuel oil to flow in and prepare for ignition.
4. The spark pot create sparks through ignition electrode.
5. When the flame is ignited, the photo cell will detect by measuring the light from the flame and send a signal to the protect relay that the burner has completed the process.
All the processes work continuously with an automatic system from the protect relay. In the event that some process is malfunction, the protect relay will stop the burner from operating and alert user to check immediately. Therefore, safety is ensured.

Forty-eight years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the historic Voting Rights Act (VRA) into law. Unfortunately, earlier this summer the U.S. Supreme Court erased fundamental protections against racial discrimination in voting that have been critical in protecting our democracy.
The damage to the VRA can and must be fixed – Congress has the power to act swiftly to restore the effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act. Tell your members of Congress to work quickly to repair and restore the VRA.
Before adjourning for the August recess, both the Senate and the House of Representatives held hearings to begin discussing solutions to discrimination at the polls and the path forward for the VRA. We were encouraged by what we witnessed – members from both sides of the aisle expressing a need to address the Supreme Court’s mistake and vowing to ensure our elections are free, fair and accessible to all citizens.

Researchers model the effects of lowering industry-wide sodium standards on daily sodium intake.
“Pass the salt” is a phrase we often hear at the dinner table. As a flavour enhancer, a few sprinkles of salt can do wonders at turning a bland meal into a mouth-watering feast. But while adding salt to our dinner may seem harmless, it can lead to long-lasting side effects like high blood pressure which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Because of this, researchers have conducted numerous studies on daily sodium intake.
High Salt Content in Packaged and Restaurant Foods
Studies have found that more than 70% of our sodium intake comes from processed and restaurant food, not from the salt we add to home-cooked meals. In the United States, nine out of ten people consume more sodium than the maximum recommended amount and two-thirds of American adults have prehypertension (high blood pressure) or hypertension, increasing their risk for heart disease.
These high statistics urged a national health objective to reduce the sodium intake by the US population to 2300 mg per day by the year 2020. If successful, this campaign, led by Healthy People 2020, would reduce the current salt intake amounts by 37%.
Voluntary Food Standards as a Short-Term Strategy
To lower the population’s daily sodium intake, health campaigns in the US and Canada have recommended voluntary food standards as a short-term strategy.
Unlike mandatory standards, which are the minimum requirements for a product to be allowed on the market, a voluntary standard is an extra standard adopted by the food industry to give their products a competitive marketing advantage. For example, a voluntary standard for lower sodium content could allow products to reach more markets based on consumer preference and taste.
Since industries have applied these voluntary standards, there have been declines in the sodium content of commercially processed foods in the US and Canada. However, these standards were not met for all food categories, and the potential impact on individuals’ sodium intake has been unclear.
The question remains: will voluntary food standards lower the population’s sodium intake? A recently published study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition sought to find the answer.
Modelling Effects of Lowered Sodium Standards on Daily Sodium Intake
For their analysis, the researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). They combined data from the years 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 to reflect the sodium concentrations in the food supply and sodium intake before and after implementing the voluntary food standards.
Participants of the study took part in household interviews, physical examinations, dietary interviews, and post-examinations. The study included a total of 17,933 people older than one year old. The researchers compared the sodium standards in the food industry to the sodium intake by the participants.
Lowering Industry Standards Could Reduce Daily Salt Intake
The study found that applying lowered standards to commercially processed foods would significantly reduce sodium intake. The reductions should apply to food manufacturers for all products that are commercially processed, packaged, and prepared regardless of if they are intended for other manufacturers, food service establishments, or the consumer. They also found that these reductions would be more significant in those with higher overall sodium consumption and a higher risk of high blood pressure. However, they note that it’s important to apply these standards gradually, as a big change in salt content could alter the taste and consumer’s preferences for certain foods.
The researchers conclude that if food industries apply established sodium standards to commercially processed foods, it could result in a significant reduction in the population’s sodium intake.

Inconsequential mistakes of light.
One follows on another, on others still, as if
Understanding no longer counted, only laughter.
And Aristotle said it well,
Somewhere in his Poetics that we read so poorly,
Transparency is what matters,
In sentences that should be like the rumor of bees
Or like clear water.

Avalon Code is the brain child of Matrix Software. They helped Square Enix with the Final Fantasy rehashes for the DS. It was released by Marvelous Entertainment, well known for their Harvest Moon games. Yes, the two big wigs in DS gaming have joined forces to create something that really should be more awesome than it is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not terrible, but it’s not as great as I’d hoped either.
Story (4 out of 5)
This is pretty cool, actually. The main character, whom you can name (male or female, depending on which you choose) is a poor peasant wandering around the monster infested fields when they are chosen by the Book of Prophecy. Now this is where the saving the world part usually comes in, but not in Avalon Code! No. The world is going to be destroyed and there is nothing you can do about it. Instead, it is the main character’s job to record the parts of the dying world that he or she wants to have re-created in the new world. That’s right. You record what you see fit and leave out what you don’t (although filling up the Book of Prophecy it levels up).
To help along the way are elemental sprites which are bound to the Book of Prophecy. You must find all of the sprites and record the world before it ends.
The story does get a little cliche as it goes on, but as a concept it is still pretty cool.
Gameplay (3 out of 5)
While the story has a really good hook, the gameplay is a mixed bag. The best part about Avalon Code is using the Book of Prophecy. In order to record something you have to code scan it (hit it with the book, using the B button, and it will appear on the touch screen). Each item, person or monster you hit has a grid of nine squares which are filled to varying levels with certain attributes. You have an area that can hold four attribute blocks (a group of connected attributes, like three fires or four silvers). Using the book, you can manipulate the attributes of everything to either give monsters less HP or more, help people or power up items. In fact, you don’t even really buy items at all in Avalon Code, you just code scan them and you can use them whenever you want. However, you do need MP to manipulate the book, so you can’t use it without a consequence.
Unlike the rest of the game, which is controlled by the use of buttons, the Book of Prophecy is controlled soles with the touch screen and stylus.
The only other really interesting thing about the gameplay in Avalon Code is leveling up the Book of Prophecy. You do this by filling up attribute pages and just exploring the environment. This time, when you look around a strangers house you aren’t just snooping, you’re recording information!
Well, this is an RPG so besides code scanning everything you can get your hands on, you also have to fight. It’s real time combat, which is a plus, but the enemies are constantly re-spawning and the amount of attacks you can actually do (even with the addition of special attacks) is pretty limited. All in all fighting seems more like a chore than any fun. The only good part is one of the attacks that allows you to toss enemies into the air to extreme heights, but even that gets old after awhile. Since they made the Book of Prophecy so innovative I wonder why they didn’t bother improving the combat aspect, as you have to do a lot of it. It feels like stiff button mashing in the worst possible way.
Dungeons are another huge disappointment in Avalon Code. There are no puzzles to figure out, instead you are locked in a room and the game tells you what to do to get out of it (example: hit all the switches in the room). Yeah, sometimes figuring out how to hit the switches can be minority challenging, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that it is very repetitive.
Graphics and Sound (4 out of 5)
The graphics in Avalon Code are well rendered and smooth. The characters look and move nicely and the towns look pretty good. However, out on the field the landscapes are boring and repetitive (grass, grass and more grass, I get it!). There is virtually nothing to interact with, besides the occasional flower and lots of monsters. It makes moving from one place to another more of a pain than a joy. A big fat boring pain.
Sound-wise, Avalon Code is pretty impressive. A lot of the dialogue is spoken (and the voice actors do a good job of it) and the music is interesting but not distracting. It’s pretty typical sweeping RPG fare, but it never gets old or annoying.
Fun (3 out of 5)
Yes and no. I really like exploring towns, code scanning and manipulating the attributes of things in the Book. That part feels super innovative and interesting. But then I have to travel someplace else across a long boring landscape riddled with boring monsters I have to button mash to death. Yawn. I would really rather there was no fighting in Avalon Code at all, as it is so unenjoyable. This would have made a much better puzzle game, but I did like it enough to keep playing.
Overall (3 out of 5)
Avalon Code is a really good effort on the part of Matrix Software. No, it’s not perfect, but it’s not a horrible game either. Sure, I wish the combat was either much improved or absent, but I can’t have everything I want. I don’t regret playing it, although I’m not sure if I would do it again. It you want a decent RPG and don’t mind button mashing and micromanagement, give Avalon Code a try.

The Genesis flood narrative makes up chapters 6–9 in the Book of Genesis, in the Bible. As one of many flood myths found in human cultures, the narrative recounts God's intent to return the Earth to its pre-creation state of watery chaos by flooding the Earth because of humanity's misdeeds and then remake it using the microcosm of Noah's ark. Thus, the flood was no ordinary overflow but a reversal of creation. The narrative discusses the evil of mankind that moved God to destroy the world by the way of the flood, the preparation of the ark for certain animals, Noah, and his family, and God's guarantee (the Noahic Covenant) for the continued existence of life under the promise that he would never send another such flood.
Although many religious groups consider the story to be largely allegorical, there still exist some fundamentalists who believe the story to be literally true. Since at least the 19th century, scholarly consensus and evidence from scientific investigation have shown that the story cannot be literally true, and among scholars it is categorized along with other flood myths as a legend.
Thomas argued that the Earth’s magnetic poles shift every several thousand years, causing cataclysmic events such as tsunamis that destroy civilizations and drastically alter Earth’s geology — one example he used was the flood in the Noah’s Ark narrative in the Bible’s Book of Genesis... Cataclysm narratives as climate sedatives.
According to the narrative, at one point in history, everyone who had survived the GreatFlood caused by God's wrath, spoke the same language and settled in a place in the southern region of Mesopotamia called Shinar ... The city in which the tower was built was later named Babel and the narrative is the Tower of Babel.
The Pontiff warned of a ‘final catastrophe’ that could ‘extinguish’ the human race ... Though Francis said he did not want to “trivialize the idea of progress,” he argued that “Flood” imagery is “gaining ground in our subconscious” – a reference to the Biblical flood narrative found in the Book of Genesis.
And while the people and country were still reeling from the effects of that epidemical horror show, the terrible mudslide of 2017 happened ...Never mind of course what have become unavoidable and predictable seasonal inundations of our capital city, reminiscent of the Genesis flood narrative ... And commiserations to those who have lost loved ones ... .
Lawmakers across the country are at it again, seeking to control what is and isn’t taught by professional educators ... But scripture is also filled with examples of communal sin, including the flood narrative in Genesis, the words of Old Testament prophets, and convicting messages for entire communities from Jesus and the Apostle Paul ... The Rev ... ....
Noah's Ark was the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative through which God spared Noah, his family, and two of each of the world's animals from a world-threatening flood ... In the Biblical Book of Genesis the mountains of Ararat is the term used to designate the region in which Noah's Ark comes to rest after the GreatFlood ... (Smiley face emoji) ... .

ReadingTime. 5 minutes. Quick. How many of each type of animal did Moses bring on the ark?. Your response might well be “two.” But if you slowed down a moment, you would realize that it was a trick question. Of course, it was not Moses at all in the Bible’s Genesis flood narrative. It was Noah... There can be little doubt about what prompted the symposium.
The original Noah's Ark is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6-9) through which God spares Noah, his family, and examples of all the world's animals from a world-engulfing flood.

Background Early identification and treatment of individuals with elevated levels of atherogenic cholesterol have been shown to be effective and safe in reducing morbidity and mortality, especially in familial hypercholesterolemia. To better inform providers and identify children and adolescents at risk of premature cardiovascular disease, in November 2011, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) published guidelines recommending cholesterol screening of all children aged between 9 to 11 and 17 to 21 years regardless of the child's general health or the presence or the absence of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Objective To compare the number of 9- to 11-year-old children screened for hypercholesterolemia in 5 community-based ambulatory pediatric clinics before and after publication of the NHLBI's guidelines. Methods Practice demographics, screening frequency, and test results for each clinic were collected before and after publication of the NHLBI's recommendation. Provider education was provided between measures. Results Of all eligible 9- to 11-year-old children, 489 (17.1%) were screened before and 686 (20.1%) after the NHLBI's guidelines and provider education. Conclusions Baseline rates of lipid screening for the 5 community-based ambulatory pediatric clinics were higher than those previously reported and increased significantly after publication of the NHLBI's recommendations and provider education. However, overall screening rates remained low. Given the high prevalence of premature cardiovascular disease associated with atherogenic cholesterol, especially familial hypercholesterolemia, additional strategies are needed to improve screening rates.
- Familial hypercholesterolemia
- Universal screening
