The Netherlands produced three of my dozen favorite painters (see below), an amazing yield for so small a land. Amsterdam houses museums for two of them—Rembrandt and van Gogh—and the Rijksmuseum also has a few specimens from the limited output of Vermeer. But perhaps a sunny Saturday was not a good time to visit the van Gogh Museum: regardless of the month, weekends bring out flocks of locals and tourists. And the Dutch are tall, so that seeing the paintings among them is like examining a distant deer through thick forest. But go one must, for if you like van Gogh — and who doesn’t? — you’ll find loads of his works — an orgy of color and line filling two of the building’s three floors. If you’ve been to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, you may think you’ve had a good ration of van Gogh, but you haven’t.
Here you find many public favorites: his room at Arles, a vase of irises, another of sunflowers, The Potato Eaters, self-portraits, landscapes from southern France. There is one of his last paintings, Wheatfield with Crows. And other fantastic pieces: a stunning near-monochrome still life and a lascivious portrait of almond blossoms writhing, almost sexually, across a cerulean blue sky. You can locate the most famous paintings by the knots of visitors before them, but many masterpieces inhabit the interstices.
What you see in person, but miss in reproductions, is the thick impasto that makes the museum-shop postcards such poor replicas of the originals. The paint is laid on in thick dollops, like frosting rising high above the canvas — so high that it makes its own highlights. And many of van Gogh’s paintings, as he admitted to his brother, were done quickly, perhaps to exorcise the demons of anxiety and depression that plagued him in his final years.
Van Gogh’s output in the last three years of his life (1888-1890) is astonishing. Despite his depression, for which he was famously hospitalized, he turned out painting after painting, all of them great. The thick lines of paint that sometimes appear in his earlier works now are ubiquitous, lined up like armies of worms marching across the canvas. Nobody else had seen like that before.
Many of van Gogh’s letters are also on display, revealing not only superb penmanship (and lots of drawings: he worked out many of his ideas in these screeds), but a surprising eloquence. He was clearly not an unlettered proletarian of native genius, but a learned and deeply thoughtful man. And he worked hard: many letters, especially to his brother Theo, describe Vincent’s torturous efforts to get things visually right. How sad that when he finally did, he nevertheless imagined himself a total failure, and ended his life.
van Gogh shot himself in the chest soon after finishing Wheatfield with Crows (it is not, as is often believed, his last painting), and many have commented on the symbolism: a road disappears into a field, and death-presaging birds rise from the wheat while a menacing black sky looms like a veil. One wonders whether van Gogh had already planned his suicide, and was painting in desperation. The work reeks of haste and anxiety — the crows are ciphers, each bird four quick strokes of a black-daubed brush, two upside-down “v”s.
Near the end of the exhibit is van Gogh’s last letter, unfinished, in French, and addressed to his brother. It was found on Vincent’s body, and Theo later annotated it in memoriam of “that tragic day.” In several places the letter is spotted with light orange stains; the accompanying label suggests that this may be Vincent’s blood but that the matter is unclear. The geneticist in me cried out for forensic analysis.

As part of my range research air to air firing ranges are an important part. However, I can't find any reference to air to air firing at sleeves or flags between 1920 and 1930 (ish). It seem all focus was on air to ground firing with air to air being entirely camarea gun work, mostly with still photos in the earlier period.
Air to air firing was used in WW1 against flags, balloons and kites so why did it apparently stop? Was is because it was mainly focused on keeping unruly locals at bay in the colonies who didn't possess aeroplanes?
This ties in nicely with Steve Brew's thread "Concept of Fighter Escorts for Bombers" and may be linked as the lack of air to air firing may explain the lack of fighter escorts.
Rather like torpedo development, we slept through the inter war years in blissful ignorance of the problems we were to face and forgot all that hard won experience.
Has anyone else come across this apparent gap in training?

As a homeowner, before you construct or change a building in certain ways you will need to make sure that it complies with the building regulations.
The building regulations are detailed technical standards set down by the Government to make sure homes are built to reasonable standard and are safe, warm and dry. They also set standards for accessibility, water use, energy use and security.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning permission and you might need both – the latter will depend on the scale and extent of your project.
When you do one of the following, building regulations are likely to apply:
a. Put up a new building
b. Change or make bigger a building that is already built
c. Change the use of a building that is already built or
d. Alter the building services if they are either what is legally called a ‘controlled service’ or a ‘controlled fitting’ (a replacement window is an example of a ‘controlled fitting’; a replacement boiler is an example of a ‘controlled service’).
Generally, the building regulations set out the required standards for the building work. For example, a home must be insulated, but the building regulations do not tell you how you should do it.
The government publishes guidance called 'Approved Documents' on ways to meet building regulations for many common building situations. These contain general guidance on the performance expected of materials and building work in order to comply with the building regulations as well as practical examples and solutions on how to achieve compliance for some of the more common building situations.
A searchable copy of all the Approved Documents is available here
Building works that do not comply with the building regulations are deemed unauthorised and you could be prosecuted. Furthermore, if the work is found to be faulty or dangerous, or if it doesn’t meet energy efficiency standards, your local authority could insist you put it right at your own expense.
If the work has not been notified to a building control body or carried out by a competent person scheme registered installer the local authority will have no record that the work complies with building regulations. These records will be important when you come to sell your home as you may be asked to provide certificates of compliance with the building regulations.
There are some minor works that can be carried out in the DIY sphere without the need to inform a building control body (although the use of competent persons is recommended).
• Most repairs, replacements and maintenance work (except replacements of combustion appliances, oil tanks, electrical fuse boxes or glazing units, which do need to be notified)
• Additional power points or lighting points or any other alterations to existing circuits (except around baths and showers)
• Like for like replacements of baths, toilets, basins or sinks
Other types of building work can be ‘exempt’ from the building regulations. These include sheds, summerhouses, conservatories, porches, satellite dishes,detached garages and carports. However, before these can be declared ‘exempt’ they have to meet certain criteria and it is recommended that proposals for such buildings are checked over by building control. Unless the work you propose is exempt, you will need approval from a building control body.
This can be done by making a building regulations application to therelevant building control body prior to the start of the work.
Which type of building regulations application will I need?
There are generally two types of building regulations application: full plans and building notice.
This is the most thorough option where detailed plans for the proposed scheme are sent to the local authority’s building control department, along with an application form and the required fee. The required fee is dependent on the work involved, such as the number of site inspections that will be needed, and with extensions, the total floor area.
The council will then check the details and following consultation with the builder, will issue building regulations approval. You will usually be provided with an inspection plan before you start work. This outlines the stages of work that require inspection, which will vary on the size and complexity of your project, age of your home, the construction type, ground conditions and your builder’s experience.
Once the work is complete, a completion certificate is issued within eight weeks – as long as the work complies with the building regulations.
This type of application is a much quicker process and designed for smaller extension projects. You can start work two days after your notice has been submitted to your building control body but you do not get formal approval as with a full plans application.
Once work has commenced, a building control surveyor will visit the site to meet the builder to discuss the plans, agree how the work should be carried out and when site inspections will take place. They will also discuss if further information is needed, such as technical drawings or structural calculations. Procedures will need to be followed throughout the build and notifications given to the local authority both during and on completion of the project.
When the project is satisfactorily completed, a completion certificate is issued that shows that it complies with the building regulations.
You can also apply for ‘regularisation approval’ – but only from a local authority building control body – for work that has already been carried out but without consent. This type of approval only applies to work carried out after 11 November 1985 and alterations may be needed before the local authority building control body can agree the work complies with the building regulations and the regularisation certificate is issued.
Competent person schemes
Competent person schemes are a way for tradespeople to prove their ability to carry out certain work to required standards, instead of you applying for building regulations approval.
An installer (of windows or boilers for example) who is registered with a scheme can self-certify that their work complies with buildings regulations and they can deal with any building control issues should they arise.
If needed, they will tell your local authority about work on your behalf. They will also give you a certificate within eight weeks of completion which can be used as evidence of compliance - it will also show up in solicitors’ searches if you come to sell your home.
Competent person schemes have insurance-backed warranties and complaints procedures if there is a problem with the work.
A list of all the types of work covered by competent person schemes and contact details can be found here.
It’s always best to check with a building control body if you can’t decide the best route to building regulations approval. Before you start to plan your project, you should seek professional advice. Building control bodies usually provide this free of charge and this could save you a lot of time and money.

Advocates for the elderly have joined the condemnation against the Green Party’s bid to ban the sale of turf, warning older citizens will be ‘placed at risk’.
The issue has caused tension in the Coalition, with many in Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil vehemently opposed to the move, which the Greens’ leader Eamon Ryan insists will go ahead.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Crisis talks are set to be held between Government TDs and Environment Minister Ryan ‘as soon as the Dáil is back’ after the Easter break in a week’s time.
It comes amid fresh warnings over the potential impact of the proposal on the rural elderly community, many of whom rely on peat to heat their homes. The Irish Rural Link warned older people already try to stretch their fuel supply, leading to ‘fatal consequences’.
The charity ALONE added that older people are already choosing between ‘heating and eating’, while Age Action warned any sudden policy changes will put our older citizens ‘at risk’.
Some 90% of older people rely on fossil fuels for energy, with 14% reliant on peat or coal.
Celine Clarke, head of advocacy and communications at Age Action, told the Irish Daily Mail: ‘If we’re bringing in a new policy very quickly and there hasn’t been due consideration given to older persons in poorly insulated homes who can’t afford to transition and who rely on fossil fuels, such as turf, for heating, then we’re entering into a situation where we’re putting people at risk.’
She called for an ‘energy guarantee’ for the elderly which includes a cash payment linked to this rising cost of energy.
ALONE chief Seán Moynihan said: ‘Not everyone has a choice of heating options where they live.’
Rural Link chief Séamus Boland, meanwhile, hit out at comments made by Minister Ryan earlier this week stating the Government was not suggesting it was ‘going to put your granny in prison for burning turf down the road’.
‘My problem is his granny will be dying with the cold if he doesn’t change this,’ he told the Irish Daily Mail.
‘A lot of older people only really have their pension. The fuel allowance struggles to even buy turf, which is the cheapest fuel.
‘This announcement is catching too many off guard and they’re not going to be able to adjust [ahead of September].
‘Older people tend to spare their fuel anyway and, often, there are fatal consequences.
‘If they can’t buy their turf in September, what do they do?’
Climate Minister Ryan’s plan to ban the sale and distribution of turf is set to come into force on September 1.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has demanded written guarantees that people will still be able to cut and burn their own turf.
Fianna Fáil Minister of State Seán Fleming said reliance on peat will phase itself out over the coming years without a Government crackdown. The TD for Laois-Offaly told the Irish Daily Mail that older people who rely on peat cannot afford to change their heating system or access the Government’s retrofitting scheme. He admitted the news earlier this week came as a ‘bombshell for people’ and is causing concern in rural Ireland.
Minister Fleming also argued that if people are not allowed to cut turf, it should not be allowed to be imported from countries such as Germany. He added: ‘Over a period of time, without Government forcing anything, [peat] will eventually peter out.’
A spokesman for Mr Ryan told the Mail last night that he is ‘happy to engage with Coalition partners on how the solid fuel regulations will be implemented’.
‘The focus will be on the largest sources of air pollution, which is the retail sale of smoky coal, turf and wet wood,’ he added.
While the Tánaiste told his parliamentary party meeting there would be a ‘pause’ in the plans, Mr Ryan insisted changes will come into effect from September 1.
There will be negotiations between the Coalition parties to ensure people will still be able to give or sell turf to neighbours.
The opposition is deeply critical of the proposal, with Sinn Féin’s agriculture spokesman Matt Carthy saying the ban was ‘the wrong move, at the wrong time and will penalise the wrong people’. ‘Turf has been one of the only forms of heating not to see prices spiral in recent months,’ he said.
‘The Government’s plan punishes communities who rely on turf, instead of introducing measures to support communities in transitioning away from this form of heating in a way that is fair and sustainable.’
Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald said she does not ‘want to see elderly people spend the day in bed because they can’t heat their home’. She told RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne that an absence of turf in rural Ireland could mean ‘cold houses’ and ‘that is not acceptable’.
However, the Climate and Health Alliance, made up of public health organisations and advocacy groups, welcomed the plan.
Dr Colm Byrne said that the burning of smoky fuels, leads to 1,400 deaths each year.
‘We simply cannot delay the ban on the commercial sale of turf and must introduce the forthcoming solid fuel regulations in full as planned this September,’ he said.
Green Party Minister of State Ossian Smyth said the Tánaiste’s comments on Wednesday about a pause on the ban ‘alarmed him’.
‘It was agreed at Cabinet last September and the idea was to give a year for the distributors to work out their stock,’ he told RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne.
‘To hear, “it’s all been paused”, it made me, obviously, worry that it had all been cancelled.’
However, Minister Smyth said he was ‘reassured’ by comments from the Tánaiste on Thursday.
The Dún Laoghaire TD said there was ‘no intention ever’ to prevent people from cutting and burning their own turf.
Last September, Mr Ryan announced new standards for domestic solid fuels which he said would be introduced in a year.
However, there was no mention of a ban on the sale and distribution of turf in the announcement.
Instead, a release from Mr Ryan’s department stated a ‘regulatory regime to reduce its harm in more urbanised areas’ was under examination.
Green Party TD Patrick Costello said the ban must go ahead to protect public health and the climate. ‘I don’t think this will come as a surprise to any Cabinet colleagues,’ he said.
Government sources confirmed to the Irish Daily Mail that no memo went to Cabinet regarding a ban on the sale of turf.


Hyundai turns up heat
After years of design work, a world-wide testing programme and relentless fine tuning around one of the world’s most challenging racetracks, Hyundai’s first highperformance N model is set to hit New Zealand.
But let me be clear from the start: technically speaking, this particular i30 N is not Hyundai New Zealand’s highly anticipated entrance into the local hot hatch market; it’s only a taste of what is to come.
Rest assured, after one week and more than 1000km of mixed driving on our roads, the taste it has left is truly tantalising for clutch-kicking driving enthusiasts.
But for the established competition, especially the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Honda Civic Type R, the sight of a Performance Blue i30 N on our shores will be a worry, and with good reason.
Yet, as it stands, the i30 N is a victim of its own success.
Due to strong (and seemingly unexpected) sales of Hyundai’s first N model overseas, Kiwis have been left to wait while specifically tuned models make their way here, hopefully before the end of the year.
Which brings us to the car was invited to test. According to the VIN, this is the 27th non-prototype i30 N built.
It’s a pre-production car fitted with European spec suspension and a few interior pieces from the i30 N’s luxury package, including adaptive cruise, heated front seats and steering wheel. It arrived in late 2017 to showcase Hyundai’s new N performance brand to a lucky few.
The “N” logo is a nod to both Namyang, the location of Hyundai’s Global R&D Centre in Korea where the brand was born, and Nurburgring where Hyundai setup its own dedicated European Testing Centre, a location where all future N cars will be tested and signed off.
The “N” also symbolises a chicane, an area where the i30 N has been calibrated to deliver traction and precision with more than 100,000km of testing clocked up on the 20.8km Nurburgring test track and two outings at the annual 24-hour race.
In Europe, there are two i30 N models on offer with two different power outputs. Performance fans rejoice — only the most powerful version is coming to New Zealand, and that’s the engine powering our test car.
The 2-litre turbocharged fourcylinder produces a 202kw of power at 6000rpm and 354Nm of torque from 1450-4500rpm. It’s paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, electronic differential and will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds with the aid of launch control.
Also identical is the striking bodykit. A new aggressive front bumper and spliter design features Hyundai’s trademark Cascading Grille and is matched with a roofmounted rear wing to maintain front-to-rear balance.
Air inlets positioned underneath LED running lights on both sides of the front bumper channel air to the red N performance brake calipers for better cooling on or off track.
In the cabin the performance theme continues with the “N” sports seats and steering wheel which controls all drive modes with two dedicated buttons. The one on the left controls three standard modes: Normal, Eco and Sport.
On the right, a chequered flag N-mode button puts the car in either its raciest or fully customised setting.
In custom mode, drivers have independent control of eight parameters governing powertrain and chassis settings.
This level of customisation is usually reserved for high-end luxury cars, but is all standard kit on the i30 N.
Modes can be changed on the move via the buttons of 8-inch touch screen display that includes readouts for power, torque, boost lap and accelerator timer and navigation display.
Normal, Sport and Sport+ modes can be selected for the engine, revmatching ( more later), electronic differential, exhaust, steering, suspension and electronic stability control.
With suspension and steering set to normal and everything else on sport+ it was time to see what Hyundai’s first N car was all about.
Immediately the noise from the engine and exhaust resembles that of the company’s factory WRC car. If you’ve wanted to drive a rally car on the road, aurally, the i30 N will have you in raptures.
As a first effort, the i30 N is difficult to fault. But there are three big questions left unanswered. Retail price, local specification details and local suspension set-up remain a mystery.
That said, the competition should still take notice of Hyundai’s new N brand because, regardless of price, the i30 N is set to be a brilliant hot hatch.
Those who have placed deposits will not be disappointed. Bring on the local launch.

There is an Amish farm right next to LV's workplace, and with the buildings situated almost on the road he often sees the children that live there.
The oldest child is around seven years old and delights in making sure he waves to LV every time he passes. If LV is driving one of the big trucks the little boy will motion for him to honk his horn. Often stopping what ever chore he is doing in order to watch and wave until he has passed.
Last evening LV was doing a favor for one of his friends and picked up a farm tractor and took it to the shop where someone was going to pick it up and deliver it to its home in a different state. As he approached the farm he noticed the little boy lugging a five gallon pail filled with ashes out to the pile where they dump them right beside the road. As usual he stopped and watched, smiling from ear to ear, as LV approached.
LV drew near and the little boy quickly stepped out, dumped the entire pail, producing a huge cloud of ash dust that totally engulfed the tractor and LV. He was almost blinded from all the ashes blowing into his eyes, but managed to get safely back to the shop, where he saw the humor in it all.

Picking the Right Type of Dental Fillings in Leederville
Are you suffering from tooth decay?
If the answer is yes, your dentist might recommend getting a dental filling.
A dental filling restores the function and appearance of a tooth.
In easier words, this procedure strengthens a decaying tooth by filling it with certain materials.
Types of Dental Fillings
There are different dental filling types. Your budget, area of decay and dentist recommendation would determine which type of filling would be best for you.
Let’s take a look at each of these dental filling types.
Amalgam fillings are affordable and durable. Since they are made of silver, they do not match the surrounding tooth and may stand out.
Composite Resin Fillings
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles.
They last at least 5 years and match the colour of your teeth. They generally cost less than gold fillings but more than amalgam fillings.
Porcelain fillings last approximately five to seven years, with a wide range of pricing.
They match the colour of your teeth and are more resistant to staining than composite fillings.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Glass ionomer fillings are usually used for fillings underneath the gum line and release fluoride over time, which helps to strengthen the surrounding tooth and help protect a tooth from further decay.
Which Dental Filling Material Works Best for You?
The dental filling that’s best for you is the one your dentist thinks best suits you.
Keep up with your twice-yearly dental check-ups and exams so your Leederville dentist can track any signs of decay. If you can detect an area of decay while it’s small, it will be much easier to treat and fill that tooth.
White Fillings at Dentists on Vincent
At Dentists on Vincent, we believe everyone deserves excellent quality dentistry. We provide high-quality restorations that enhance your smile, including white fillings.
White fillings are tooth-coloured restorations often used to replace silver amalgam fillings bonded to the surrounding tooth material, making them suitable for the front and back teeth.
Consult your Leederville dentist to know the type of filling material that may work for you.

September might seem like a long way off. But when the world is in lockdown, and you have been looking forward to the annual festival that is ‘Oktoberfest’ then time will go quickly as one week merges into the next.
The Oktoberfest is the world’s largest Volksfest.
It is a yearly event that is held in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The festival itself goes on for 18 days. So that’s 18 days of drinking and eating sausages.
Each year, around 6 million thirsty revellers head to Oktoberfest, making it one of the biggest (if not the biggest) festivals in Europe.
“The question moves us all, of course. Of course, as the organizer of the Wiesn, together with all our partners, I would like to see that there is no need to cancel.
“Therefore, we want to monitor the situation until the last possible moment before an irreversible decision is made.
“That will be in June at the latest,” says Baumgärtner. “That is why we are continuing to plan the Wiesn as usual. However, it is still too early for a binding assessment today.”
Baumgärtner continued: “Of course the decision will be made with the greatest possible responsibility. In the end, it will largely depend on what the medical experts advise and what health policy and safety regulations will be issued by the federal government and the Free State.”

The infighting got so bad that a dude named Sheba was all, Fuck David. Let’s go set up our own kingdom. So a bunch of the Hebrews left with him.
David was all, Jesus. If we let him get away, it’ll make the rebellion worse. Amasa, I said you’d be my new commander, so go gather a force and head after Sheba and take care of this.
But three days later, Amasa still hadn’t left yet, so David was all. Fuck. Fine. Abishai, you and your loathsome brother take care of this rebellion before it gets out of hand!
The brothers headed out on Sheba’s trail, where Amasa caught up with them with his troops. When Amasa saw Joab, he was all, Hey, cuz! And Joab leaned in as if to hug him…but stabbed him in the gut instead. Joab left the eviscerated body wallowing in its blood on the side of the road and went to rejoin his brother. As the troops came marching by, they kept stopping to gape at Amasa, so one of Joab’s men dragged him into a field and threw a cloak over the body.
Joab and his troops pinned Sheba in Abel Beth Maakah. As they prepared for a siege, an old woman hollered over the wall of the city to ask what such a mighty force wanted with their humble town? And Joab was, All we seek is that traitor Sheba. Give him to us and we’ll depart in peace.
Bright and early next morning, Sheba’s head came flying over the city walls, and rolled into Joab’s camp.
Back in Jerusalem, David quickly reestablished his bureaucracy. As for the ten concubines raped by Absalom, he shut them up in a house where they lived all alone for the rest of their days, forever deprived of David’s kingly embraces.

Two sides of Saturday with BlueFish and Best Friend
A couple of contrasting tunes for a counterpoint Saturday. BlueFish offers upbeat joy whilst Best Friend is more chilled.
BlueFish provides Simulation. The thing that they’re trying to simulate is the epiphany of joy. In Simulation they come close with it’s automaton samples and uplifting chiming synth sounds. A rush of endorphins.
Best Friend’s tune Sometimes Oh Damn is a chilled, trip hop affair. The wash of drums, the aching vocal and the piano transcend the lazy dinner party music comparisons. This is how music for cocktails should be.

I know it's been awhile. But I wanted to post this here so I could find it again. It's my new favourite recipe.
If you have some lemons laying around and want to impress people I suggest you try this. Everyone who ate it today (I had a Postie Party) asked for the recipe.
I also did my impossible pie recipe (which I've posted before), along with my new favourite soup recipe (Leek, Potato, Corn & White Beans). All were hits.
All in all a fun day :)

Small businesses in Grand Island helping with last minute Christmas gifts
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) - We have all been there its just a few days to Christmas and we still have a few gifts to buy. Fortunately some small businesses at the Conestoga Mall are helping their customers with those last minute gifts.
One small business I visited was Aundrea’s Boutique, they sells clothes and accessories for both boys and girls.
What is most interesting for them is they have only been in brick and mortar setting for a matter of weeks.
But owner of the store, Laura Aguilar, said they started out on as an e-commerce company before they moved into their space at the mall.
But the store is a family affair even the name of the store comes from Aguilar’s daughter.
“We started our business on Facebook about four and a half years ago and we do children’s clothing and accessories and what not and so we finally had to opportunity to come into a store front we decided to give it a shot,” Aguilar said.
But Aundrea’s Boutique isn’t the only small business helping procrastinators with finishing up their Christmas shopping. KO Deals is another small business helping people get those final Christmas goodies.
I anticipate a lot of people coming in to get that last minute gift. We should see a decent amount of people just coming in and wrap up their year,” KO Deals Owner, Guy Skodmin said.
Both businesses expect their stores to be busy going into Christmas week.

On the bigger stage of the game, it can pay off to be small.
No one can reasonably say that E3 2021 lacked spectacle. After a year off due to the covid-19 pandemic, some publishers have turned to the fences, showing off upcoming tentpole games and offering initial disclosures for games like Starfield and Ancient ring. If you’re even a casual observer of this business, you know that major publishers tend to grow their showcase lists by highlighting indie games. And this year, few stood out among the crowd more than Replaced, the first game from Belarus Sad cat studios.
Read more: The best looking game of E3 2021 could be this’ 80s-inspired platformer
Replaced, a 2.5D platformer that exudes neon and 80s-inspired cyberpunk vibes, appeared halfway through Microsoft and Bethesda’s common E3 presser until near instantaneous ohs and uhs. Amid the praise, some pointed to similarities between Replaced and The last night, an indie platformer mired in controversy. But Replaced seems a little more likely to complete development right now.
It’s not just the striking art or the crispy look John wick-ish combat or the absurdly convincing premise, in which the player is presented as an artificial intelligence program trapped inside a human body. Replaced caught my eye by grabbing my ear, mostly the result of extremely compelling background music – a dark, moody synth-pop track that sounds like an earworm you can’t enough identify but definitely need to add to your Spotify library, stat.
This solid first demonstration heralded an unprecedented level of attention for Sad Cat. Igor Gritsay, one of the studio’s co-founders, told me on a Zoom call that during the first 72 hours after Replacedfor her stage debut, “basically the world almost stopped”. His phone rang. Notifications for comments and new subscribers arrived within seconds. “It was good, but at the same time you also want to sleep. “
Like any game, Replaced, which has been in development for about three years, has undergone significant changes. At one point, even its main appeal – the 2.5D perspective, amplified by this delicious pixel art – was not yet established. Once upon a time, Replaced was “closer to 3D, like 2.75D,” Gritsay said. This idea lasted barely six months.
In this previous version, version 2.75D, Replaced involved complex camera rotations. You could turn around the corner of a building, and the camera would follow you, kind of like Fez, the indie puzzle game of 2012. This has proven to be a Herculean lift, especially for a team that started out with just three people.
For example, when you rotate the camera around a building, an environment sprite pops out abnormally, creating a scrappy look. What may seem like a small technical enigma then raised a whole series of existential questions about the fundamental principles of the project. “Do we make it a fully 3D object?” So what is the point of pixel art in this game? Said Gritsay. Adds Yura Zhdanovich, one of Sad Cat’s co-founders: “It was very disorienting.”
That’s not all. The incorporation of 3D elements created a feeling of confusion, in which it was too easy to get lost while exploring. It meant designing a map system, says Gritsay, which introduced a whole new set of problems. When talking about a storytelling-focused side-scrolling game, such navigation features are nice, but not exactly necessary.
So it was settled. 2.5D. A little more manageable that way.
“The 2.5 D is very vague in its definition because there are a lot of games that [say they’re] 2.5D, ”Zhdanovich said. “From our perspective, 2.5D is, especially in our case, a game that has depth in the environment but has a mostly linear side-scrolling type of gameplay. “
When Replaced will be released next year, it will do so day and date as part of the Xbox Game Pass library. It’s a distribution model that drastically changes the way independent developers present their games to gamers and, for some, gives them access to audiences beyond what they could achieve with a traditional marketing campaign.
Game Pass, for those who don’t know, is Microsoft’s on-demand games service, essentially a sort of “Netflix for video games” deal. First launched in 2017, a monthly subscription gives you access to a few hundred games, as well as any title published by Microsoft. You can then play these games indefinitely, as long as they stay at the library. Over the past few years, the service has exploded in popularity, claiming around 23 million members. For an independent studio releasing their very first game, that represents a lot of potential players.
“Within the scene, the major problem here is just [to] stand out, because there is a lot of competition between indie games. And there’s also this huge market for triple A games that always gets all the attention, ”said Gritsay. “The main motivation here is just to bring the game to more people… For us, it’s a unique opportunity. We must seize all the possibilities and all the chances that we have. “
The flip side here is that the Game Pass appearance could arguably reduce potential total sales. Think about it: if a movie is on Hulu or HBO Max or any other streaming service, why would you pay to rent it through traditional means? You can already watch it “for free”. The same principle applies to games on an on-demand game library.
But Gritsay says the studio always derives something valuable from the experience, and Game Pass “helps. [boost sales] one way or another. ”Gritsay acknowledged that no open data exists for this sort of thing. (Microsoft does not publicly share the financial details surrounding the deals with the developers. Last year, in talking to The edge, Xbox boss Phil Spencer described such offers as “everywhere. “)
Yes, the project has clearly gained momentum in recent months, and it has undoubtedly received a boost by showing up at such a high-profile event. But it’s still a long way to go, one that conspicuously ends during a wide and undefined “2022” window, which could always change in the blink of an eye. And at the moment, Sad Cat isn’t ready to share the game any further beyond this initial preview.
“We are moving step by step,” Zhdanovich said.

October 7, 2000
Earlier this week a friend of mine had one of those painful experiences I guess we all have had at one time or another. Someone didn't call back after what had seemed to be a nice time together, leaving my friend to wonder if the pleasantness was one-sided. And yes, my friend did try to get in touch.
Well, the should-have-called-sooner person finally did make contact, apologized for the silence, and claimed work-related busy as the reason for not calling. My friend, having done a similar thing in the past, accepted it as true. And so do I, since I have no reason to think otherwise (and it's none of my business, anyway).
But it reminded me again how easy it is to hurt someone by an act of omission. And in a related set of thoughts, it reminded me how much I hate it when I get left out.
More than once over the course of my life I have found myself called on when someone was troubled about something, only to be left out whenever the person wanted to do something that was fun. And I resent it.
Sometimes I'm slow to realize it, and sometimes even when I have realized it I have let it happen, out of some sense of needing to be needed, I guess.
But each time it happens, it takes something away from me. It makes me less willing to get sucked into the next sob story, for fear that I'll eventually lose so much of myself that there won't be anything left to share with someone who won't treat me that way---someone who will realize that if I'm good enough to tell troubles to, I'm going to be good company in good times, too.


Most surgically treated fractures do not require locking plate fixation. As long as the principles of orthopedic surgery are followed, most fractures can be healed by traditional steel plates or intramedullary nails.
Placement of locking plate
1. Screw the drill sleeve into the screw hole of the steel plate. If the deviation between the screw and the screw hole is more than 5°, the screw will fail to lock. It is recommended to use the drill sleeve to drill the hole.
2. Place the steel plate on the surface of the bone and drill through the drill sleeve.
3. Use a depth sounder to measure the depth, and pay attention to inserting the head of the depth sounder into the screw hole.
4. Choose locking screws of appropriate length.
5. The operation of installing pressure screws is the same as that of ordinary steel plates.
6. Finally, tighten the locking screw with a torque wrench. When tightening, there will be a noticeable sliding feel and a rattling sound, so as to avoid over-tightening and difficult removal.
Locked steel plate removal
Although locking plate screws are widely used clinically, they are prone to difficult removal, which is mainly manifested as screw threading and cross-threading between the nail cap and the plate nail hole.

With a mere six months left before Jamaica celebrates its 60th independence anniversary, there are even clearer signs than three months ago that authorities are moving to ditch the British monarchy and to convert the island into a republic.
Governor General Sir Patrick Allen last week spoke about the recent creation of a legal and constitutional affairs ministry and plans to overhaul and update local laws with a change of status that has gained new life ever since Barbados ditched Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, became a republic, and appointed its own native head of state at the end of November as it was celebrating 55 years as an independent nation.
The administration of Prime Minister Andrew Holness has already committed to joining regional neighbors Guyana, Trinidad, Dominica and Barbados as republics and so far Holness has the support of the main opposition People’s National Party (PNP).
Former Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte will head the new ministry that the governor general says will preside over “the process to shift Jamaica’s status as a constitutional monarchy.” Critics say that announcement was the clearest indication yet that upstart Jamaica will make the switch this year.
Opposition Leader Mark Golding says his party supports the transition to a republic but reminds islanders and government that Jamaicans would most likely have to vote in a referendum to make the transition. The Mia Mottley government, for example, in Barbados was able to use the other two-thirds parliamentary majority option and switch the country as the governing labor party had won all the seats in the 2018 general elections and did so again mid last month.
“The referendum will have to follow the legislation being passed through parliament, which is a process of at least six months. But look, Jamaica truly becoming independent is something that is significant and it is worth us investing in the referendum process. I think it is important that we do this when we have the momentum and can agree around the issues,” Golding told the Observer newspaper.
Barbados’ globally televised transition ceremony, attended by Britain’s Prince Charles and global pop star Rihanna, stirred nationalist pride in Jamaica triggering vows from political parties and activists group that this year’s independence celebrations would not occur without the island becoming a republic. Rihanna is a Barbadian native.
Asked recently about other members of the 15-nation group making the transition as well, new regional secretary general Carla Barnett says it is likely others will follow along.
“The truth is that is something that countries themselves have to work through. We’ve never had a uniformed process across the Caricom region. We’ve had countries which have retained the British monarchy as the head of state and we’ve had countries that have had executive presidents and this has been standing for many, many years.”
She noted that Barbados moved to republican status because the country felt the time was right and that it was the right thing to do.
“And so, they proceeded to do it. I am expecting that other countries in the region will consider and do what they feel is right within their own national consideration,” she said.
Successive governments in Jamaica have tried to make the transition dating back to the Michael Manley administration, but the lack of opposition support had derailed his campaign. In the ’90s, PM Percival Patterson had expressed determination to do so and missed out. Portia Simpson Miller, the lone female head of government, also failed to carry through with promises while she was in government during 50th anniversary observances.
“It’s just amazing the potential that exists, 60 years of independence and the 60th year has generated much interest in our status as a nation and those questions will be addressed shortly. I’m certain those who have ears to hear those vague terms will understand them until it is time to have that full and direct discourse, which that process has started,” Holness said as Barbados became a republic last year.

PCB Inspection is essential in every industry, whether it is for large-scale or small-scale industries. It prevents unnecessary delays in the process of production and increases the efficiency of the process and business. To avoid such, now, PCB manufacturers & assembly services are doing various kinds of inspections on PCBs during multiple phases of production. This article discusses different PCB inspection methods and the sorts of defects they test and inspect.
The most important and popular method used in PCB inspection is visual inspection. This method involves inspecting the physical aspect of the boards. Some of the standard physical components that are inspected by many of the businessmen are their thickness, color, surface topography, flexing, adhesive backing, and the like. This way, they will get to know about their PCBs’ components and find out if they conform to the specification. They also check if there are any deformities, and they fix those as soon as possible. For this purpose, they usually apply pressure to various components of the PCBs using different methodologies.
Another widely used tool for PCB inspection is optical inspection. For this, the technician uses a specialized instrument that can quickly detect defects on the boards’ surface through the use of a spectrum analyzer. It usually uses electromagnetic radiation to determine the electrical resistance of the component of PCB. Although the method is quite popular, it does not always work well on some complicated PCBs. Thus it is not used on the production boards.
Many of the industrialists and manufacturing houses choose the low-temperature technique for the PCB inspection process. This method uses heat to melt the substance that is located on the surface of the PCBs. This melts when exposed to high temperatures. After that, the sample is removed from the machine, and then the residue is collected by using a funnel.
Aoi PCB inspection refers to the automated optical inspection method. In this method, a computer equipped with special software is utilized to collect the data through a specialized optic fiber. This fiber has an enhanced imaging capability that helps detect any defect on the surface of the PCBs. The technician needs to install the specialized instrument in the vicinity of the assembly line. This tool can be used in several production levels, starting from the desktop PC to large-scale robots.
Aoi systems help detect the flaws in the PCB, but they also help determine the quality of the final product. The process is also useful for producing high volume production processes like in the automotive and electronics industries.

Are you planning a trip to Abu Dhabi in the near future? If so, you can save a few bucks because the Abu Dhabi government has announced that it will reduce tourism and municipality fees imposed in the emirate’s hotels beginning September 1, 2023.
This is a welcome move for tourists, as it will make travelling to Abu Dhabi more affordable.
Abu Dhabi – Tourism Fee
According to an official update, “the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, has revised the fees applied to hotels in the emirate, supporting the continued growth of the hospitality and tourism sector and enhancing #AbuDhabi as a leading global leisure and tourism destination.”

The tourism fee issued to customers will now be lowered from six per cent to four per cent. The municipality fee of AED15 per night has also been removed. This means that tourists will now pay an average of AED20 less per night for their hotel stay in Abu Dhabi.
Furthermore, the four per cent municipality fee and the six per cent tourism fee previously applicable to hotel restaurants will also be eliminated. These changes are anticipated to not only attract a higher number of visitors but also provide a substantial boost to the overall economy.
Revised Fees to Drive Tourism Growth
The decision to reduce tourism fees is part of the Abu Dhabi government’s efforts to boost the emirate’s tourism industry. The government is also investing in new tourism attractions and infrastructure, such as the Yas Bay Waterfront development and the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The reduction in tourism fees is likely to make Abu Dhabi more competitive with other tourist destinations in the region, such as Dubai and Doha. It is also likely to boost tourism levels in Abu Dhabi, which have been recovering since the pandemic.
Contributions from Luxury Hospitality
The first half of 2023 has witnessed the prominent role played by Abu Dhabi’s luxury five-star hotels in driving the market forward. These establishments have reported impressive average rates of AED 626 per night and a robust RevPAR of AED 418.
Both figures indicate substantial year-on-year growth, with a remarkable 26 per cent increase in average rates and an even more impressive 32 per cent rise in RevPAR.
If you are planning a trip to Abu Dhabi in the coming months, you can expect to save money on your hotel stay thanks to the reduced tourism fees. So book your trip today and enjoy all that Abu Dhabi has to offer!

News__ Trouble En Route to Guacha
Things didn't exactly go smoothly for French Producer Son of Kick and his collaborators while making the video for his deliciously bass-heavy track, "Guacha". For starters, they got arrested for trespassing while they were shooting. "We shot in an old German Army hospital from the 30's/40's--was really creepy," Son of kick says. "You can imagine the vibes in there.” After the slight rough up with the police, they lost all their hard earned footage. "The bag with the hard drives got stolen in the bus on the way back from the airport.” Fortunately they were able to retrieve the footage from the friend who did the file transfer. It was in his PC's trash bin.
The new EP features Latin American singer, Natalia Clavier, French artist/actor Disiz, French rapper/designer Grems and rapper, Micro Coz, Son of Kick's MC alias. He said he wasn't sure that too many people actually knew that Micro Coz and Son of Kick are the same person (shhh secret). "Guacha" is the sequel to the video, “Revolution B,” though the artists involved haven’t decided which story comes first. “All up to the viewer really. A 3rd and final chapter will come with one of the next singles.”
Based in London, Son of Kick has crafted a unique flavor of dubstep infused with intricacies that reflect his vast skills—he’s also a DJ, rapper, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and an avid consumer of any type of sound he can get his hands on. His talent has been recognized by the likes of Dub Step and breakbeat producers, Bassnectar, Stanton Warriors, and he has done remixes for them, Tokyo Police Club, Husky Rescue, Kotchy, and more.

Since I recently acquired a genuine Misty Mountain Label Lab t shirt, I thought I'd post a quick comparison between it and the less accurate Redbubble version, for those who are considering it as an alt! .
To the untrained eye these shirts look quite similar, but once you look closer the differences start to become more apparent. The Label Lab, for example, has a much thinner neckline than the redbubble, making it easier to wear the H&M Henley underneath. The label lab graphic on the shirt is also much sharper and more contrasting, while the Redbubble version appears much more blurred. .
The Redbubble's graphic also appears to be a bit lower on the shirt than the SA Label Lab (Both these shirts are the same size). The Label lab is also a much thinner and more comfortable fabric, and is also considerably lighter in person.
Overall, although the Redbubble replica has its drawbacks and differences to the SA Label Lab, It is an extremely good close-enough version for those who missed out on the original.
Finally got the chance to pick up the now long-gone Clash hoodie! The screen accurate hoodie is in the Racing Green colour way, however unfortunately this one is the Olive green (Also long sold out).
The story was that I came across somebody on eBay who was selling both versions, and I actually won the bid on the Racing green, but the seller sent me the wrong one by mistake. I've contacted the seller about this, but to no avail. Still, this version is still the SA model and the colour is INCREDIBLY similar.
I'm still in disbelief that this just happened. I've just met Peter Capaldi himself at #rccc !!! He said my costume looked "Just like the real thing!" He was incredibly cheerful and kind as well, and when I gave him my TWC sonic for the photo he asked if he could keep it!
Found an incredible pair of Alts for the infamous Magicians Apprentice trousers! Since the originals were custom made out of extinct vintage fabric finding a close alt is the best you can do, and I'm quite happy to have found these. Now I just need to have them taken in in time to meet Peter Capaldi next Saturday!

A VERY BUSY WEEK!!
This is just a quick recap of everything that happened last week. So much!
First off was the release of COMPELLED, the latest Cyn & Raphael novella. This novella serves as a transition to the spin-off series featuring Nick Katsaros. Nick, you may recall, was Cyn’s lover before she met Raphael, and he also showed up in DECEPTION with the key to Raphael’s escape from Mathilde. We also learned in DECEPTION that Nick was a sorcerer, much to Cyn’s surprise. In COMPELLED, Cyn discovers even more about Nick’s history, and the tragedy in his life that drives him. It’s a tragedy that forms the basis of the spin-off series, The Stone Warriors.
And that brings us to DAMIAN, Book One of The Stone Warriors, which will release on June 15th, and is currently available for pre-order. I’m very excited about this story. I’ve wanted to write the series for a long time, every since I wrote Nick into RAPHAEL and JABRIL. I always knew where he was going, and I’m thrilled to finally have a chance. I hope you all will love Nick and Damian as much as I do.
The DUNCAN Audible contest is officially over. There were way more entries than I expected, so I’m upping the number of prizes to three. I’ll be selecting three entries at random, and contacting the winners by email early this week.
Some readers have been asking about the next Vampires in America book, wondering if there is one. Let me say … DEFINITELY! Vampires in America Book 11 is LUCIFER, the next book in the Vampire Wars story arc. I’m working on that right now, and it will release in November. It picks up where CHRISTIAN left off with Sophia and Colin in crisis. As usual, the other Vampire Lords will be making some cameo appearances, too.
And that’s where I’m going now, back to life with LUCIFER. Happy May, and I’ll see you all next week.

319JP: Still Life in Watercolor with JoAnn Pippin
Still Life in the Kitchen: A Watercolor Adventure
Level: Watercolorists with some experience
Monday, Feb. 19 – Wednesday, Feb 21 (10 am – 1 pm)
Thursday, Feb 22 (see below)
Artist JoAnn Pippin invites you to join her in creating a watercolor still life of a favorite food, entrée, or recipe. Perhaps you have a family recipe you want to pass on, a photo of a special dish you prepared, or a food your family is fond of. Why not carry it a step further and paint the ingredients and equipment for your mom’s apple pie, that beautiful entrée from your favorite restaurant, or the attractive display of items from the farmers’ market?
We will explore watercolor techniques that can be used to illustrate food, as well as principles of still life set up. For the first class, JoAnn will bring items for a still life based on one of her favorite recipes. We will work on painting it in class but plan on finishing it at home prior to the next class. For the second class, students should bring a cuisine-related picture to paint, or possibly live items for a still life set up. In the third class, we will finish up our projects or start with a new photo.
Thursday (10-1pm) is an optional fourth day if the students are interested.
A supply list is available, but you should start by bringing the paints and equipment that you have; JoAnn will help you compare what you have to what you might need. The Florence Thomas School sells quality art supplies, so you be able to buy and restock after the first class.
- JoAnn Pippin
JoAnn Pippin has been painting watercolors since 1992, and teaching in the High Country since 2011. She is a signature member of the Southern Watercolor Society and the Watercolor Society of NC. Her passion is to explore different watercolor techniques, using landscape, floral, and still life subjects. Her works have been exhibited in juried art shows in Tennessee, North Carolina, New England, and the southwest. Primary studies were at the Art League School in Alexandria, VA.
