Zaha-hadid Architects (ZHA), a London-based architectural firm "works at all scales and in all sectors to create transformative, cultural, corporate and residential spaces.
The firm exhibited "Shadows", created by Thallus, an experimental structure. It is a computer simulated organic design. The structure is printed in 3D in a continuous plastic PLA (Polyatic Acid) of 7km in length. In order to produce this sculpture in form of a plant, the research group of ZHA uses an extruder attached to a robotic arm.
The second name is the one of Neri Oxman of MIT. Professor, architect and designer, eri Oxman is a woman who founded the research group Mediated Matter. The latter discovers and exploits design concepts through various disciplines.
At the Milan show, their creation is the 3D printed glass sculptures in collaboration w ith Lexus, the luxury car brand. The "YET" philosophy is at the heart of Lexus design vehicles. Yet brings out synergies between seemingly contradictory goals like, for instance, a spacious and yet (literally meaning) aerodynamic design.
Let's go back to Neriman! Lexus asked her and her team help to make 3D glass columns "using old material and modern technology". The technique is delicate because it must perfectly balance the conditions of the construction chamber to ensure adequate support of the successive glass layers.
Finally, if these columns are successful, Lexus presence is also due to Lexus Design Award 2017, whose works of finalists were presented during the Milan show.


Marshall Construction have completed a new "state of the art" Production Warehouse facility for SEW Eurodrive in Normanton. The combined office and production facility will act as the new UK Headquarters for SEW. The building consists of 30,000 sqft of office space along with an 80,000 sqft Production Warehouse. Both internally and externally the building was finished to a high standard, offering naturally ventilated offices, external landscaping and parking facilities.
SEW Eurodrive UK Headquarters has won the prestigious award "RICS Pro Yorkshire Commercial Building of the year" in the 2014 RICS Pro Yorkshire awards.


Type IV secretion systems (T4SS) are multiprotein complexes dedicated to the intercellular transport of proteins or protein-DNA complexes. T4SS translocate DNA and protein substrates across the cell envelope generally by a mechanism requiring direct contact with a recipient cell. Conjugative plasmid transfer is performed by a T4SS that transports DNA substrates to recipient cells in a contact-dependent process. My research group works on different research lines with the goal to understand and reduce the dissemination of antibiotic resistance via conjugative T4SS.
Detection and monitoring of pathogens, antibiotic resistance and transfer genes in the environment by molecular tools, such as PCR, quantitative real-time PCR and quantification of resistance transfer via fluorescence monitoring tools. Environmental samples of interest are contaminated surface waters and soils. Samples are derived from the largest sewage field in the world, the Mezquital Valley, Mexico and from anthropogenic German and Indian soils.
Molecular studies on bacterial pathogens derived from closed environments, such as the International Space Station (ISS). The Gram-positive isolates (focus on Staphylococcus and Enterococcus) are studied with respect to biofilm formation, presence of resistance genes and conjugative transfer capabilities.
Novel silver and ruthenium-based antimicrobial surface coatings are tested for their mechanism of action and for applicability under microgravity conditions, on diverse medical devices and in water filter systems etc. The molecular reaction - metal stress - of the microorganisms upon contact with the coating is studied via RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR.

The Fine Line Between Criticism and Jerk Behavior
As an executive coach, I understand that giving criticism is a natural part of being in a leadership position. However, it's essential to consider the impact of your criticism on others and your reputation.
First, it's essential to check and reflect on your tendency to be critical. Are you giving criticism constructively, or is it becoming a negative behavior pattern? Are you providing helpful feedback, or is it just complaining? Being aware of your own tendency to be critical can help you make a conscious effort to give feedback more constructively.
Consider the right balance when giving criticism. While providing feedback and offering constructive criticism is essential, it's also important to recognize and acknowledge the positive aspects of someone's work. Striving for a balance between constructive criticism and recognition can help build trust and respect in your relationships.
It's also worth noting that giving criticism, especially if done negatively or harshly, can impact your reputation. It can be perceived as difficult to work with or damage relationships with colleagues and team members. So, it's essential to be mindful of how you deliver your criticism and strive to be respectful and tactful in your communication.
To help guide you, here's a checklist you can use when giving criticism:
Reflect on your tendency to be critical and make a conscious effort to provide feedback in a more constructive way
Consider the balance of constructive criticism and recognition
Be mindful of how you deliver your criticism and strive to be respectful and tactful in your communication
Be aware of how your criticism may impact your reputation and relationships with colleagues and team members
By following this checklist, you can give feedback in a helpful, respectful way and build strong relationships with your team and colleagues. Remember, as a leader, your words and actions have an impact, so it's essential to be mindful and thoughtful in the way you give criticism.

ZYDECO FLAMES
FIRE DANCE
new orleans, zydeco, cajun, R&B, blues: The Zydeco Flames have gained the reputation as the West Coast's premiere Zydeco band. Their sizzling roots rhythms are timeless and the execution is relentless, with a stunningly powerful groove and playlist that includes originals and select covers in the genres of Zydeco, Cajun, New Orleans R&B, Rock and Swamp-Pop. This, the Flames' seventh CD release, "Fire Dance", showcases the recent live club performance in Berkeley, California that provides fans with hot Zydeco music they've come to expect from the Flames, in the tradition of the great masters like Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Queen Ida. Featuring the soulful, steamy style of classically-trained singer/rubboardist/harpist Lloyd Meadows, the cajun & piano accordion and keyboards of Bruce Gordon (noted California performer who played on Ramblin' Jack Elliot's Grammy-nominated album), guitarist Frank Bohan with musical roots deep in Chicago blues (worked with Johnny Copeland, Alvin "Youngblood" Hart, Ricardo Scales, and Johnny Nitro), and the tight & funky rhythm section of bassist Tim Walker (worked with J.J. Malone, Sista Monica, Bobby Murray, Andre Thierry and The Elvin Bishop Band) and drummer William Allums, with deep roots in gospel music, hip-hop, funk and R&B.
JOHNNY "V" VERNAZZA
LIONS AND THIEVES
($9.00 with *discount) AT THE BEACH RECORDS
blues: Best known for his work with the Elvin Bishop Band in the 1970's, including the 1976 #4 hit, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," Vernazza has played guitar with some of the biggest names in music, from Van Morrison to the Grateful Dead. Vernazza has spent decades on stages big and small around the world, honing his craft and this album is the culmination of that experience. Now more than a decade in to his solo career, his new album, Lions and Thieves, delivers on the promise of a lifetime in music.Ably backed by bassist Jim Reeves, drummer Brian Cantrell and keyboardist Mark Bentley, the album's 14 tracks cover a lot of ground. Indeed, Vernazza may be considered to be one of the finest blues and slide guitar players going today,but his sound is expansive. As detailed his blues varies, from the sweet soul edge of "Open The Door" to high octane rocker "Jungle," the latter a sure fire single surely destined to be much covered in the future.While the albums core group are all seasoned veterans, Vernazza also called in a few friends to help in the albums creation, with Elvin Bishop, Charlie Daniels and Albert Lee all contributing to Lions and Thieves.Long time fans will love every second of Lions and Thieves, but anyone who enjoys great blues and rock will need a copy of this album in their collection
GATOR BEAT
STOMPIN' AT THE BAL DE MAISON
new orleans, zydeco, cajun: Stompin' at the Bal De Maison evolved from a story from Louisiana of house parties where so many folks showed up to dance, the floor broke and they spent Sunday repairing it. This CD is that party, coming at you with relentless grooves designed to keep you stompin' in your own house or nearest dance hall, with new originals, classic Cajun, hard core Zydeco, New Orleans R&B, blues ballads and a French waltz. Gator Beat not only covers the State of Louisiana, they infuse their own feel, call it Rock, call it Pop, call it Gator Beat Stompin' with 3 lead singers: soul crooner Willard Blackwell, David Scott, giving it some rough and ready, and Susie Davis, singer/songwriter extraordinaire, adding her sometimes gutsy, sometimes sweet, but always rich and powerful. Horn section, fiddle, & button box, added to the regular line up of drums, bass, guitar, accordion, sax, rubboard, piano, and penny whistle with carefully crafted harmonies.
COUNTRY JOE MCDONALD
TIME FLIES BY
2-CD: $12 (US) - NEW
($10.80 with *discount) GLOBE RECORDS / RAG BABY
folk, Americana, acoustic, rock, psychedelic: (2-CD set) The first Country Joe album with a focus on a group sound since The Fish broke up in '71. After working as a guest with the Christmas Jug Band, Joe takes an all-acoustic jug band / string band approach here, using CJB front man & producer, Tim Eschliman as co-producer and washtub/string bass player and Gregory Dewey, the CJB's stalwart washboardist/drummer & the Fish's Woodstock drummer. Drawing upon the Jug Band's pool of instrumentalists, and Joe's own circle of talent, the album was fleshed out with such luminaries as Harper Simon, The Persuasions, Austin de Lone, Russ Gauthier, Ken "Snakebite" Jacobs, Suzy Thompson, Chris & Lorin Rowan and Bernie Krause. Included also are songs from Joe's singer/songwriter songbook recorded by Stephen Hart at Fantasy Studios. All original material save one Merle Haggard tune. Decades in the making, Time Flies By incorporates instrumentals, ballads, protests, waltzes and rock and roll.
new orleans, zydeco, cajun: Gator Beat decided to have some fun. They wrote three songs, including the title track, "Let's Dance". Gator Beat fans will immediately recognize the sound which distinguishes this band from all the others. It's got that good time vibe throughout and the players keep the energy going, driven by Beau Bradbury's "on top of his game" drumming. David Scott, longtime GB sax man, hits his stride and blows the lid off Clifton Chenier's "Ride 'Em Cowboy". Willard Blackwell digs deep and comes up with his best vocals to date, crooning on GB original "Just An Angel" and delivering a knockout punch on Jon Cleary's "C'mon Second Line". The band is running on all cylinders on USS Zydecoldsmobile with guitar man Randy Quan in the driver's seat. It closes out with Randy's original cut which is not only beautiful and groovy, it has Gator Beat written all over it. Cutting a new CD takes what is already there and bumps it up a notch. This time, it was a big bump.
THE CUL-DE-SAC KIDS
childrens, americana, folk: Big Sale! Paul Rogers, 20 year front man for the San Francisco rock accordion band, Those Darn Accordions, is set to release a solo CD of kid friendly tunes. While there's plenty of accordion on the tracks, as a solo project, Rogers felt free to bring in lots of other instrumentation to help bring the songs to life. The result is a wonderful collection of 12 original witty, and heartfelt tunes that will delight kids and their parents alike. The CD kicks off with the upbeat "The Cul-de-Sac Kids", Rogers' salute to the cul-de-sac where his family lived for 10 years

Q: Magento 2.2.2 return only 3 items from wishlist When inspecting the bellow

console.log(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('mage-cache-storage')).wishlist);

I get the count of 7 but items only returns 3 :

How Can one get all items ? in my case 7 ? Appreciate any help.

A: As Magento had set limit in class Magento\Wishlist\CustomerData\Wishlist const SIDEBAR_ITEMS_NUMBER = 3;
So if you want to increase limit of product you have to override this class and set your custom limit as per your requirement.

A:
Once you need to extend \Magento\Wishlist\CustomerData\Wishlist
  class into your module then try this code.

    protected function getItems()
    {
        $this->view->loadLayout();

        $collection = $this->wishlistHelper->getWishlistItemCollection();
        $collection->clear()->setPageSize(self::SIDEBAR_ITEMS_NUMBER)
            ->setInStockFilter(true)->setOrder('added_at');

        $items = [];
        foreach ($collection as $wishlistItem) {
            $items[] = $this->getItemData($wishlistItem);
        }
        return $items;
    }

Remove this ->setPageSize(self::SIDEBAR_ITEMS_NUMBER) from above
  code you will get total number of wishlist products.
Because const SIDEBAR_ITEMS_NUMBER = 3; is set that is why you are
  getting only 3 products.

Q: Self hosted ASP.NET web services as gRPC server and client We have an ASP.NET web service which is currently hosted on IIS. It acts as a client and as a server. The project is using .Net 4.6.1 framework. We want to abandon SOAP and use gRPC protocol, but IIS doesn't support HTTP2, so we can't create a server out of it.
I have found an answer here that suggests that we make our application a windows service using Topshelf. Will this basically mean that we are writing our own hosting service? The application in question has a configuration in Global.asax which should be ran on application start, so it gets configured properly. It is using Autofac for dependency injections. Will we be able to run the Global.asax methods Application_Start and Application_End if we use Topshelf?

Biological effects of low power microwave radiation on proteins and cells: modelling and experimental evaluation
Jain, S 2018, Biological effects of low power microwave radiation on proteins and cells: modelling and experimental evaluation, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Engineering, RMIT University.
Jain.pdf Thesis application/pdf 5.46MB
Jain, S
Rapid growth in telecommunication and related technologies has resulted in increased exposure of human population to low power non-ionising Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). This research is focussed on studying biological effects of low power EMR at the molecular and cellular levels. Radiofrequency/Microwave (RF/MW) radiation has been integrated into modern telecommunication systems, health (medical devices) and even food technology. However, the increasing rate of exposure to RF/MW radiation (especially exposures from mobile phones) has raised a health concern and stimulated much research into biological and health effects of MWs and the mechanisms of interaction between MW radiation and living matter. The primary objectives of this project are: (i) to improve our understanding of the impact of low power MWs (1.8 GHz - 2.6 GHz) emitted by handheld mobile communication devices on ion channel proteins, isolated enzymes and yeast cells; and (ii) determine the safe thresholds of induced biological effects.
This project has two arms (computational and experimental) and is undertaken via the sequentially linked four sub-studies: (i) Molecular simulation of Conotoxin protein exposed to low strengths static and oscillating electric fields; (ii) in-vitro evaluation of MW radiation (frequencies 2.1 GHz, 2.3 GHz and 2.6 GHz and powers -10, 0 and 17dBm) on biological activity of L-Lactate Dehydrogenase and Catalase enzymes; (iii) in-vitro evaluation of changes in growth rate of yeast cells exposed to MW radiation (frequencies 1.8GHz and 2.1GHz and powers -10, 0d, and 17dBm, and (iv) in-vitro evaluation of MW radiation (frequency 1.8 GHz and powers -10, 0, 17 dBm) on bioactivity of TRP ion channel proteins (expressed in epithelial cells). The findings are summarised as follows:
(i) in-silico analysis show that conformational changes in Conotoxin occur under the exposure to weak static and oscillating electric fields of particular strengths;
(ii) low power MW radiation induces modulating (inhibition and promotion) effects on LDH and Catalase enzyme kinetics at the particular frequencies and powers of exposures. The results indicate the frequency- and power-dependence of the observed biological effects;
(iii) low power MW radiation induces cell proliferation or inhibition on yeast cells growth depending on the exposure parameters, and
(iv) effects of MW exposures at the particular powers induce n Ca2+ ion influx and affects gating function of TRP ion channel proteins.
In essence, this study demonstrated that even non-thermal microwave exposures produce modulating effects at the molecular and cellular levels. The outcomes of this study will assist in understanding the bioeffects of low power MWs and their interaction with biological media. It will also assist in identifying thresholds of MW exposures affecting the selected proteins and cells, and will be useful in providing much-needed evidence on defining safe exposure limits. Further investigation of the mechanism of action of microwaves of different frequency and power combinations is proposed for future work as an extension of this project.

Hi Tynon, Didg has been with me for a week now. It is a beautiful piece of wood. I am super impressed with how you have built (modified) a didg to perfectly suit my needs. It is super light and has beautiful natural aesthetics, keeping both the acknowledgement of it as a natural didg and also adjusting the upper part to show the beauty of the sanded timber. More importantly it is very responsive, very vocal and a treat to play. I'm stoked, so thank you.
I'm hoping someday soon i'll be in around the North Coast as i'd love to drop in (even though it means I'd probably come away with another didg) and see the store and what you have available. Mail order was the only option in this instance and I'm lucky that you are talented at suiting peoples needs over the phone. Thank you again for catering to my needs and providing the perfect didg for what I was after.

English, math and even science experiments help school-aged patients keep up

High school science experiments often have elements of danger: Students heat chemicals over Bunsen burners, wrangle fragile glassware, wield scalpels during dissections and try to "always add acid" to water (instead of the other way around) to avoid hazardous splashes.
But the hands-on part of the science curriculum is hard to teach in a hospital, where many dangerous materials, such as open flames and lab animals, are not allowed.
As a result, Kathy Ho, a longtime high school teacher at the hospital school at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, used to struggle to offer experiments to her students. Ho is part of the hospital's team of four teachers who run the K-12 hospital school, a part of the Palo Alto Unified School District, and work with several hundred hospitalized children a year.
At Packard Children's, some patients stay for just a few days, but the majority stay for a month or more. Ho and her colleagues help all of these pupils keep up with their studies.
"Providing the opportunity for our students to stay on par with their peers at home means giving them hope that things are going to be normal again," Ho said.

In 2008, to address the science-lab challenge, Ho tapped a local resource: Stanford scientist Andrew Spakowitz, PhD, associate professor of chemical engineering and of materials science and engineering. Ever since, Spakowitz has recruited Stanford undergraduate and graduate students to design biology, chemistry, physics and engineering experiments that fit California curriculum standards.
"The Stanford students come up with clever ways to develop new labs suitable for the hospital environment," Spakowitz said, noting they've created more than 30 lab activities using cheap, safe, easily available materials.
To get around the restriction on bringing lab animals into the hospital, one biology lab employs Stanford students as guinea pigs: While the Stanford students jog in place, the hospital students measure such variables as heart rate and breath volume. In an engineering assignment, kids evaluate the good and bad features of hospital gowns. In an optics lab, students point inexpensive hand-held lasers through Jell-O to see how the material bends light.
The labs get rave reviews from the pupils. "Science gets kids excited and engaged," Ho said. "They can forget for a while that they're in the hospital."
Meeting kids' needs
When school-aged patients arrive at the hospital, the teachers assess their needs. As long as they're well enough to do some schoolwork, pupils in kindergarten through fifth grade receive instruction in English, language arts and math. For older students, the teachers coordinate with a counselor at their usual school to determine if the student can work on assignments while they are away.
The hospital school also provides extracurricular activities, including in art and drama. And any student who has attended classes at the hospital during the school year is invited to the spring prom, an evening of fun, games, food and dancing.
Besides working together on school activities, students also bond over their medical experiences.
"They may not have the same diagnoses, but they help each other talk through things," Ho said. "A kid who has had a heart transplant maybe empathizes with a kid with cancer."
Older students also mentor the younger ones, with high schoolers sometimes befriending kindergarteners. "It's so fun to watch," Ho said. "We're lucky that we can provide all of these children with a dynamic, really vibrant school environment."

Whilst HVNA ceased in 2017, a committed team of representatives from state Hearing Voices Networks and other organisations and individuals active in the Australian Hearing Voices Community, forms the Australian Hearing Voices Establishment Project (AHVEP). This initiative builds on the work of a reference group established in 2015 to investigate the possibility of establishing a national Hearing Voices organisation and their recommendation of implementing a national framework to enhance the development of the Hearing Voices Movement in Australia.
The primary objective of HVNNSW, is to establish, facilitate and support self-help groups for voice hearers, throughout Metropolitan Sydney, as well as regional New South Wales.
We further aim to act as a source of information to voice hearers, carers and the general community. Our purpose is to generate, in society, an awareness of the hearing voices experience, and a better understanding and acceptance of voice hearers and their carers. This will be achieved through a collaborative approach between voice hearers, carers and service providers.
Voices Vic is a network of professionals, carers and voice hearers that work together to reduce the distress which can be associated with hearing voices.
Our ambition is to establish Hearing Voices Groups across Victoria. Our vision is for the community at large to listen to the experience of voice hearers without fear or judgement and with acceptance. We believe recovery is not necessarily the absence of voices, but the ability to have a meaningful life.
The South Australian Hearing Voices Network site a free community resource, run by Sarah K Reece with support from other volunteers. They are passionate about raising awareness about voice hearing and other unusual experiences, and reducing fear, distress, and discrimination.
It includes details of Hearing Voices Groups in South Australia.

Q: How to refactor duplicity in code that calls super I have two NSResponder methods (cut, copy) and they have basically the same code except they call their own super. How to create method with parameter _CMD as selector that calls super and I won't end up with recursion?
- (void)copy:(id)sender
{
    [self notifyAndPerformSelector:_cmd withObject:sender];
}

- (void)cut:(id)sender
{
    [self notifyAndPerformSelector:_cmd withObject:sender];
}

- (void)notifyAndPerformSelector:(SEL)selector withObject:(id)sender
{
    [super performSelector:selector withObject:sender];
    //code...
}

A: As you have discovered your code doesn't call the superclass method as you want but the one in the current class, resulting in infinite recursion.
Your first option faced with this is to refactor your code, something along the lines of:
@implementation MyDerivedClass
{
   - (void)copy:(id)sender
   {
       [super copy:sender];
       [self commonCodeAfterSelector:_cmd withObject:sender];
   }

   - (void)cut:(id)sender
   {
       [super cut:sender];
       [self commonCodeAfterSelector:_cmd withObject:sender];
   }

   - (void)notifyAndPerformSelector:(SEL)selector withObject:(id)sender
   {
       //code...
   }
}

If this approach suits your situation use it. If not...
A second option is to become the compiler...
Standard and super method calls
A standard method call of the form:
[object someMethodWithArg1:x andArg2:y]

invokes a search for the method someMethodWithArg1:andArg2:. This search starts at the runtime class of object. The emphasis on runtime is important, the actual object referenced by object could be of the same class as the declared type of object or and of the subclasses of that type and the search must find the most derived implementation of the method.
A super method call of the form:
[super someMethodWithArg1:x andArg2:y]

also invokes a search for the method someMethodWithArg1:andArg2:. However in this search starts at the compile time class of superclass of the class in which code occurs. For example if MyDerivedClass above is a subclass of MyBaseClass then the search for the method starts at MyBaseClass ignoring the runtime type of self – which could be MyDerivedClass or a subclass of it (say MyDerivedDerivedClass)
Why does your current code recurse?
Your call:
[super performSelector:selector withObject:sender];

starts the search for the method performSelector:withObject: in the superclass, that search won't find the method until it reaches the NSObject class. Once found the method is invoked and starts a standard (not super) search for the method for selector, this search starts at the runtime type of self and so finds the method in MyDerivedClass... recursion.
What you need is something like:
[self performSuperSelector:selector withObject:sender];

but unfortunately that does not exist. But you can make one...
Compiling method calls
The compiler takes a standard method call of the form:
[object someMethodWithArg1:x andArg2:y]

and effectively (we're glossing over a few details, the need ones will get filled in below) compiles this to a call to the runtime function objc_msgSend():
objc_msgSend(object, @selector("someMethodWithArg1:andArg2:"), x, y)

Notice that the selector is passed as a SEL value, this is where the value for _cmd comes from.
A super call of the form:
[super someMethodWithArg1:x andArg2:y]

is effectively compiled to a call to objc_msgSendSuper() of the form:
objc_msgSendSuper(`struct` containing `self` and superclass,
                  @selector("someMethodWithArg1:andArg2:"), x, y)

You can call these runtime functions directly in your own code. You must import the <objc/objc-runtime.h> to obtain the definitions, cast them to the appropriate type, etc.
Becoming the compiler and bypassing performSelector
Your code uses performSelector as it has a SEL value, but as shown above the runtime calls used for method calling take a SEL directly. If you "compile" the super call yourself you do not need to use performSelector, which in turn avoids the recursion problem.
Before calling objc_msgSendSuper() the function needs to be cast so its return and argument types match the actual return and argument types of the selector you are calling. This is so that the correct code is compiled to handle the arguments and return value, and that code is dependent on the types. The two selectors you are calling, copy: and cut:, have the same type which makes the code shorter. To make the casting easier we first define a shorthand for the type:
typedef void (*CutOrCopyRunner)(struct objc_super *super, SEL op, id sender);

which defines CurOrCopyRunner as a function pointer type. Now your method:
- (void)notifyAndPerformSelector:(SEL)selector withObject:(id)sender
{
   // "compile" [super selector:sender];

   // first cast objc_msgSendSuper to the correct type by
   // casting a function pointer to it (a function name by
   // itself, e.g. objc_msgSendSuper, evaluates to a pointer
   // to the function)
   CutOrCopyRunner msgSender = (CutOrCopyRunner)objc_msgSendSuper;

   // now build the first argument struct
   struct objc_super superInfo;
   superInfo.receiver = self;
   superInfo.super_class = MyDerivedClass.class.superclass;

   // now execute the super call
   msgSender(&superInfo, selector, sender);

   // code...
}

I've been keeping quite busy the last few months, thanks to the extremely time-consuming but fun masters program I'm enrolled in. Sure, I've also ensured that I enjoy Europe while I'm at it, but that makes my blog posts much less frequent and further apart. Between "micro-blogging" and frequent facebook updates, there is much less time for blogging these days.
It's spring now and we can all stop complaining about the Dutch weather. The temperature stays around a pleasant 10 to 15 degrees. One of the more recent trips I made to take advantage of the season was to Keukenhof, the famous flower garden. Check out selected pictures here.
As I try to wrap up some of my pending assignments (did I mention they were fun?), I'm also preparing for travel in the next 2 weeks. First stop, Mountain View, for an "All Hands" session at Mozilla. Next, I head out to Italy, starting with Milan, and then heading on to Venice, Rome, the Vatican and Pisa. Looking forward to the trip!
In other news, the GSoC results were announced recently, and I'm continuing my mentoring role from last year with two students. Even though Glendix didn't make it to the organisations list, we got several good proposals via Plan 9 and Gentoo, which was certainly very encouraging. This time, India has the second largest number of student selections (101!) - simply marvelous. This will be my 4th Summer of Code, and I'm very happy to be involved with the program for this long.


The making of a good leader is not something that is inherited. It takes practice and the development of a unique set of skills that empower you to make ethical and positive changes in your community.
We hope that you take a few minutes to review some of the wonderful involvement opportunities described to you throughout this section of the website. Whether you are a first-year student or a senior, it's never too early or too late to get involved.

Litecoin [LTC]'s smart contracts network to be used by AbraGlobal – LTC opted over many!
The newest launch of Abra app which supports 20 cryptocurrencies and 50 fiat currencies is the world's first app to support multi coins. Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin has just tweeted about his interview with the CEO of Abra app, Bill Barhydt in which the news about Abra using smart contracts on the Litecoin network in about 2 weeks was revealed.
After various speculations in the community, Abra has chosen Litecoin over the more popular Bitcoin Cash network to be integrated with their system. According to them, Litecoin has been more stable even when the market shook down. Adding on, Litecoin also has better security and adheres to Bitcoin's scalability roadmap.
From Abra's point of view, the core of the app's protocol will be formed by Litecoin. According to what they declared, Litecoin and Bitcoin are the only two embedded currencies in the app. The rest of them are categorized as "synthetic token" and can be seamlessly exchanged. This is what Abra's service goals revolve around. They aim to provide synthetic digital currencies which will be backed by existing assets.
Litecoin has not moved from its top 5th position for a very long time now. It has gained about 7.75% in the past few hours and is currently trading at $173.

Arsenal: Rob Holding closes in on return to first-team action
By Uways Nisar
Rob Holding is close to returning to first-team action and will feature in an under-23 fixture tonight, according to Arsenal boss Unai Emery.
Holding has been out of action since a knee injury in the club's 2-2 draw away to Manchester United in December 2018.
Emery spoke of Holding's potential return and said: "I want to have very competitive players in each position, with David Luiz, with Holding when he is coming to help us, training regularly and playing minutes. He is going to play tomorrow for the Under-23s." (Source: Football London)
Since Holding's injury, Arsenal have experienced horrible form, especially in the Premier League. The Gunners conceded 31 goals in the remaining games in the English top-flight after the Englishman injured his knee.
Pre-season didn't turn out to be much better as Arsenal showed more of the same defensive deficiencies. The north London giants conceded eight goals in just seven games, as a horrible mix-up between Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Bernd Leno against Barcelona summed up the problems with Arsenal's backline.
Despite his early end to the season after injury, Holding still managed to top the defensive charts for the club last season. The 23-year-old committed the third-least amount of fouls, made the fourth-most clearances, and the third-most blocks per game in Emery's squad (via WhoScored).
However, it was Holding's performance on the ball which the Gunners may have missed most last season. The centre-back completed the highest number of passes per game of any Arsenal defender, and the second-most of any player in the squad. His ability on the ball helped Arsenal a lot, with Emery insisting on playing out of the back.
Speaking about having to do so, former Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech told the club's official website last year: "I have to say that I enjoy it [passing the ball out] because I played under different managers with different styles and over most of my career I was always asked to play long, so this is a pleasant change for me and it will be very useful when you want to beat a team who controls the game through possession."
Holding's return to fitness is a much-needed boost for the Arsenal squad. The former England youth international's ball-playing ability and interceptions, which are both described as strengths of his (via WhoScored), can only help the Gunners improve in what will be a testing 2019/2020 season.
Arsenal fans, how badly does Emery need Holding up and running again? Let us know in the comment section below!

The Syrian civil war, which began seven years ago, has had an ongoing deep and tragic impact on Syrians. Half a million lost their lives and 11.5 million were displaced. Of those displaced, more than six million became internal refugees and over 5.6 million fled to neighboring countries. Sharing a 911-km border with Syria, Turkey became the country most affected by the migratory movement of Syrian refugees. For the first four years of the war, Turkey handled the crisis on its own without much international support and assistance. Today, it is much harder to do that. Turkey has become the world's largest refugee-hosting nation and a permanent home to more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees living there, in comparison to 986,000 in Lebanon and 66,000 refugees in Jordan.
This piece is part of a two-part series on current US-Turkey relations. See the other piece here.
There was a time when Turkish people mourned together with the people of the United States, such as when John F. Kennedy was killed, or when they fought shoulder to shoulder together during the Korean War. How did such a great alliance turn into a cold shoulder?
Three recent events in and around Turkey raise concerns about this country's direction for the United States and its European allies.

Plant a Tree for Eleanor
Eleanor F. (Frost) Prybylo
February 26, 1926 ~ December 26, 2021 (age 95)
Monson- Eleanor Frost Prybylo, 95, passed away Sunday, December 26, 2021 at her home surrounded by love. Eleanor was born in Easthampton, MA to the late Alice (Lahai) Frost and Gerald R. Frost. She was a graduate of Classical High School and continued her education at Springfield Hospital School of Nursing where she became a registered nurse. Eleanor was also a graduate of the US Army Cadet Nurse Corps.
She was the Head Nurse at Springfield Hospital Pediatrics Department. In 1951 she began her next most rewarding career of being a Mother of her growing family and raising six children. Eleanor grew up in Springfield and lived in Longmeadow for many years. In the 1950's the summer lake house was purchased and in later years she would spend half the year in Northampton and the other half at the lake. Upon her husband's retirement, Monson became their full time home at the beloved lake house.
Eleanor was a communicant of St. Patrick's Church in Monson. For many years she volunteered for March of Dimes, Meals on Wheels, St. Mary's in Longmeadow's "Loaves and Fishes" program, and was an early volunteer driving AID's patients to appointments. Her care and compassion were always present to comfort those in need.
Eleanor was predeceased by her husband, Dr. John A. Prybylo in 2007. She leaves her children; John A. Prybylo Jr and wife Linda of Harpswell, ME, David C. Prybylo and husband Dale Siar of Charlotte, NC, Alan R. Prybylo and wife Melinda McCall of Williamsburg, Robert F. Prybylo and wife Mary of Bangor, ME, Faith A. Chen of Ashland, and beloved best friend Martha K. Prybylo of Monson; nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Eleanor was predeceased by her two older brothers Gerald R. Frost, Jr and Richard Frost. The three siblings were known in their childhood neighborhood as Big Frosty, Little Frosty and Baby Frosty.
The Family would like to thank Constance Victoria Darko Mensah from Accra, Ghana, who for more than 15 years provided the most expert and compassionate care to both Eleanor and John. We are grateful that such a woman of faith, grace and strength will forever be part of our family. We also thank Elizabeth Ghansah and all the kind care providers from Baystate Hospice for their end of life care. You will forever be in our hearts.
Services will be Thursday, December 30, 2021. A visiting hour will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 at Lombard Funeral Home 3 Bridge St. Liturgy of Christian Burial will be at 11am in St. Patrick's Church 22 Green St with Burial to follow at Bethany Cemetery all in Monson.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Baystate Hospice and VNA 30 Capital Drive West Springfield, MA 01089 . In Eleanor's honor please consider calling your U.S. Senator or Congressional Representative and urge them to support the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act to honor the more than 120,000 women who served with honorary veteran status.
To send sympathy gifts to the family or plant a tree in memory of Eleanor F. (Frost) Prybylo, please visit our tribute store.

By 1366 roots of our brewing tradition had been established in the city of Leuven, Belgium– which is also where the original Den Hoorn brewery was founded. Sebastian Artois was admitted to the Leuven Brewer's Guild as a Brew Master in 1708, and only nine years later purchased the Den Hoorn brewery. In 1926, Brouwerij Artois launched Stella as a Christmas beer, named after the Christmas star.

As the number of childhood vaccinations continues to increase, vaccine related injuries and deaths rise proportionally. Many people are not aware that vaccine manufacturers as well as the medical professionals who administer them are not liable for damages, even when safer alternatives are known to exist. Instead, individuals or family members dealing with a vaccine related injury or fatality must file a claim through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Since its beginning in 1988, VICP has paid out nearly $3 billion in vaccine related settlements, despite its low profile and relative obscurity among the general public.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was originally intended as a public resource and source of support for those seeking additional information before determining whether the benefits of vaccination outweigh their risks in each particular situation. Some parents and individuals may feel stigmatized when presented with the possibility of filing a report or claim for a vaccine related injury or death, in part due to one-sided informational sources that fail to mention the associated risks inherent with all vaccines. Although approximately 30,000 incidents are reported to VAERS each year, experts estimate that this figure represents a mere ten percent of the true number of reactions. Doctors have been known to receive "kickbacks" from pharmaceutical companies in exchange for the promotion of their products, including vaccinations. This, coupled with pressure from public health officials, serves as general discouragement for the reporting of suspected vaccine related adverse events. Non-medical professionals may also report directly to VAERS; this is not, however, widely known.
The loss of ability to stand, roll over or sit up.
Before deciding whether or not to move forward with vaccination, parents and individuals are encouraged to ask themselves important questions to determine if they are at an increased risk of an adverse reaction. Reading the package insert in its entirety is often quite revealing; manufacturers may state that individuals who are currently ill are at increased risk. Additional factors, such as a previous adverse reaction to any vaccination (either personally or involving a family member), as well as known allergies, reduced immune function or the presence of any neurological disorder, also increase the risks.
Manufacturers Acknowledge That Vaccines are "Unavoidably Unsafe"
In 2011, vaccine manufacturers presented a statement to the U.S. Supreme Court acknowledging that all vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe" as a means of encouraging the court system to increase federal protection over vaccination liability. The court system agreed to the vaccine manufacturers' requests, thereby making VICP the "sole remedy" for vaccine injury or death related claims (before 2011, victims could still pursue claims against vaccine manufacturers in certain situations). Funding for the VICP payouts are paid for by public taxes on each vaccine, essentially placing manufacturers in a position of near zero liability.
While the VICP system was originally intended to streamline the process of filing for and receiving compensation after a vaccination related injury or death, a mere seven percent of the nearly 8000 claims filed between 1988 and 2012 were completed within the stated 240 day target. Instead, cases have been known to drag on for years, sometimes leaving victims in financial straits when a vaccine induced disability prevents them from working and/or caring for their family. One of the most significant factors involved with timely processing is the prompt consultation of a legal professional who is highly experienced in assisting those who have been harmed by a vaccination. The VICP program provides additional compensation to cover legal expenses, even if claims are not approved. As a result, there is a tremendous advantage to seeking legal counsel before proceeding with a claim independently.
When filing a claim through VICP, meticulous information including the date and location a vaccine was given along with the lot number and vaccine manufacturer's name should be provided. Specific symptoms, as well as the precise timing of their onset and their overall duration, should be documented by a medical professional; said such documentation should then be included with the claim. Claims are not filed in a local courthouse but rather are sent directly to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Considering the complicated and controversial nature of these issues, working with a qualified attorney is highly recommended.

Early game is spent setting up. Any ramp, utility creatures, and Equipment are played in the first several turns to prepare the board for Balan, Wandering Knight . Once the board is ready, Balan is cast, equipped, and starts the clock.
Further resources are devoted into keeping Balan suited up to retain her quick clock, casting new Equipment or recurring destroyed ones when necessary. I'm also disrupting my opponents' game plans with removal and may pressure other opponents with any available alternative threats.
In the event that Balan dies, she is recast and reequipped through her ability to quickly resume her assault. If I'm in a situation where recasting Balan isn't ideal, such as right after a full board sweeper, the deck's alternative threats pick up the slack until the board is restored for Balan to take command again.
If Balan ever becomes too expensive to recast and Command Beacon isn't available, my deck's alternative threats fully take over and I attempt to defeat my opponents though regular Equipment beatdown.
This is my first Commander deck. I started building in October 2011, with Kemba, Kha Regent as the first Commander for her synergy with Equipment. The earlest builds of this deck were a Token/Voltron hybrids to benefit from Kemba's cats. Overtime the token support dwindled, as I no longer cared about the token aspects of the deck and desired to focus more into accomplishing Commander Damage kills.
In July 2013, Eight-and-a-Half-Tails , took over from Kemba as the second Commander shortly after the token support was dropped completely. 8.5 was much better suited for a Voltron strategy by using his protection to keep targeted removal off of himself and my Equipment and bypass blockers. 8.5 wasn't without his own issues. He's essentially useless early game and the occasional games with mana screw botched his effectiveness, but he was the best Commander available that fit my needs.
Aether Revolt gave this deck its third Commander, Sram, Senior Edificer , and Equipment synergy returned to the Command Zone. Sram's ability to drop as early as Turn 2 and begin the Commander Damage death clock much faster than his predecessors while keeping my hand stocked fit the deck very well.
Sram's reign was short-lived. Commander 2017 heralded this deck's forth and current Commander, Balan, Wandering Knight , who possesses what her predecessors never had: raw power. Balan is an Equipment master, able to quickly defeat opponents with the minimal set-ups.
Shuffles away a stagnant hand for fresh cards.
Treasure synergy, providing ramp and card draw.
A full board clear with cycling.
Allows Balan or a key utility creature to be flashed in and catch opponents off-guard. Can also be "cycled" if necessary.
A sweeper that benefits Voltron.
A Planeswalker that provides an indestructible body, keywords, and removal.
Commander decks are dynamic and ever-changing. New cards replace the old, players adapt to each other's strategies, and opinions of cards can alter over time. What was yesterday's strong additions can become tomorrow's weakest links. No deck stays the same for too long.
The following cards are what I'm currently thinking about dropping, either because, they're no longer effective, I became uninterested in them, or they're being replaced with something better.
The following are changes I'm currently testing.
Not every card is going to be usable. Some have become obsolete, some are overall too weak, and some just don't fit the theme properly. Whatever the reason, there are some cards that I simply don't want in my deck.
I have no intention of using any of the following cards.
Darksteel Plate has been outclassed by Hammer of Nazahn, and there's no space for both.
Fireshrieker is a dead card for Balan.
Grafted Exoskeleton would devolve the deck into getting poison kills. Absolutely nobody enjoys fighting against poison.
Masterwork of Ingenuity doesn't function well when the vast majority of your Equipment aren't worth copying.
The Kaldra Set has been antiquated by newer Equipment and getting the whole set out at once is too inconsistent and inefficient.
Lightning Greaves & Whispersilk Cloak offering shroud is a problem in a deck that has to target its own creatures. Sure, Balan can bypass this issue, but the deck's back-up threats can't.
Skullclamp can't draw many cards in a deck with limited access to expendable X/1s.
Swords of Body and Mind & War and Peace are the weakest of the Mirran Sword cycle, with triggered abilities that don't benefit a Voltron strategy.
Relic Seeker tutoring post-combat is a bit awkward.
Steelshaper Apprentice is a bit slow.
Taj-Nar Swordsmith needs way too much mana at once to grab anything powerful.
Quest for the Holy Relic has a clunky hoop to jump through and is a horrid mid-late game draw.
Auriok Steelshaper shaving off only a single mana from equip costs isn't enough.
Indomitable Archangel & Fountain Watch offering shroud is awkward with this deck's artifact creatures. Archangel's metalcraft is also a significant speedbump.
Kemba, Kha Regent and her Cat tokens conflicts with the deck's pure Voltron strategy.
Leonin Shikari granting Equipment the ability to equip at instant-speed doesn't do a lot for a Commander with an attach ability.
Stone Haven Outfitter is pretty mediocre in a Voltron strategy, and Balan's death will never trigger its card draw ability.
All Is Dust was in the deck before, but had to be replaced to solve the deck's lack of harder artifact hate.
Banishing Light & Oblivion Ring are both outclassed by stronger variants.
Council's Judgment gives opponents too much sway over what gets exiled.
Dispatch compares poorly to the superior Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares.
Mass Calcify costs too much for a creature-only sweeper and will backfire against White opponents.
Fetchlands are primarily for colour-fixing, which a mono-coloured deck doesn't need. Deckthinning is statistically negligible, especially in Commander with 99-card decks.
Artifact Lands don't provide any meaningful utility and will end up as collateral damage from sweepers more often than not.
Cavern of Souls doesn't do much in a non-Tribal, mono-coloured deck. Just using it to make Balan uncounterable feels like a waste.
Eiganjo Castle has a very low-impact ability that's easily outpaced by the deck's Equipment.
Flagstones of Trokair doesn't do anything relevant for this deck.
Inkmoth Nexus, like Grafted Exoskeleton, promotes a horrid win-con that is hated by everyone.
New Benalia & Zhalfirin Void don't do enough. The Cycling Lands are much better.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx can't function properly in a deck with a high concentration of colourless permanents.
Temple of the False God is a trap that promises to produce two mana, but is a dead card when that two mana matters the most.
Avacyn, Angel of Hope & Darksteel Forge have cumbersome mana costs and can't effectively protect my Equipment in the wake of the quality, efficient exiling removal that's being printed nowadays.
Bastion Protector only boosting Balan is too narrow. It having 3 toughness is also a factor.
Iona, Shield of Emeria is a mean-spirited griefer card that unnecessarily hates on mono-colored decks. Her entire purpose is to stop players from playing the game. Why is she even allowed in this format?
Ranger of Eos doesn't work well with the small number of 1cmc creatures this deck has. Adding more creatures would be forcing Ranger to work instead of it being a natural addition. If more worthy 1cmc creatures get into the deck on their own, Ranger may be reconsidered.
Inspiring Statuary can't make artifacts (and by extension Equipment) cheaper, which is the card type that matters the most in this deck.
Land Tax was in this deck since the beginning until I replaced it with a card that isn't tied to an upkeep trigger and has better synergy with the deck.
Since Balan focuses solely on Equipment, Auras have no place within this deck.
Vehicles have been deemed too much of a distraction. Balan will almost never have the time to crew them, and the higher crew costs are too difficult to achieve for this deck's low-power utility dorks.
Equipment decks will naturally incentivize heavier use of artifact hate, and non-Equipment artifacts will frequently end up as collateral damage. I'm intentionally keeping mana rocks to an absolute minimum and abstaining from mana doublers entirely, focusing mostly on land-based ramp options instead.
Extraplanar Lens doesn't like a mana base with a high nonbasic land count.
Gauntlet of Power can increase White opponents' mana production.
Caged Sun has a higher mana cost that can burn up a turn without accomplishing anything.
The longer the game goes, the less effective they can become.
Not enough of them isn't consistent in a 99-card deck.
Too many of them eats up space on non-synergistic cards.
All decks aren't going to be vulnerable to them equally.
Not drawing them feels no different that not using them.
Overall, it's not worth the loss of deck synergy for the random chance of stopping opponents tutoring, ramping, or abusing ETB triggers early enough in the game to matter. If I'm going to use a Hate Card, it has to be effective against the majority of strategies and completely functional at any stage of the game.
I don't like MLD in Commander. It's either win-more when I'm ahead or kingmaking when I'm behind. There's no middle ground. MLD also carry the stigma of ruining games. Not what I want for this deck.
Mono-White has been getting rather spoiled in this trip to Ravnica. First there was Dawn of Hope from Guilds of Ravnica offering card draw with the rather minuscule hoop of lifegain to jump through. And now Ravinca Allegiance has given us mana ramp.
Smothering Tithe is a unique ramp effect. It creates Treasure tokens instead of putting additional lands into play or directly producing mana. This allows the mana gained from it to be stockpiled until it's needed. Smothering Tithe also punishes large-scale card draw effects, giving me a tremendous boost of mana. Being an enchantment is another bonus, as it's less likely to be destroyed by my opponents' removal than a traditional mana rock would.
There is a question that pops up when discussing Smothering Tithe: "What if opponents pay the to deny the Treasure token? It won't ramp then!" If that happens, then the opponent has spent two mana for nothing, leaving them less available to work with for their turn and to keep open for instant-speed interaction during mine. But honestly, who is going to pay the tax? This isn't Rhystic Study. I'm getting Treasures, not drawing cards.
I took out Wayfarer's Bauble for Smothering Tithe. While I prefer to have this deck's ramp effects to be land-based and enable an early Balan , Smothering Tithe's mana production benefits late-game rebuilds and most ramp effects tend to lose their luster as the game goes on.
With Smothering Tithe inevitably creating spare Treasures, I would like to have some uses for them beyond mana. Treasure Map Flip has been added to the Maybeboad as potential Treasure synergy.
Enchantments were never a major aspect of this deck. It was just Land Tax and various generic hate-cards for the longest time. Not really worth recurring, but if I did need to do so, Sun Titan was available to do so. When Sram, Senior Edificer became this deck's Commander two years ago, I planned for future Aura support. This plan never came to fruition after Balan took over as Commander mere months later, and the idea of using additional enchantment recursion were entirely scrapped.
However, enchantments are no longer mere land drop enablers and hate-effects. They're now removing multiple permanents at once and giving Equipment flash and attaching them for free. Hot, new utility enchantments have also bestowed Mono-White with card draw and mana ramp it normally doesn't get. With a solid number of powerful, high-quality enchantments in the deck, just using Ol' Sun Titan isn't enough. Restoration Specialist has been incorporated into the deck, giving it a second source of enchantment recursion.
When Armory Automaton was added to the deck back in late 2016, Eight-and-a-Half-Tails was the Commander. Old 8.5 always had early-game troubles, having to wait until I had sufficient mana available to hold his abilities up while also equipping him. This deck needed early-game pressure, and Armory Automaton filled that need.
Unlike 8.5, Balan is early-game pressure. And for slower openers that do need some other form of early presence before she can jump in, this deck has plenty to work with. Even then, it doesn't take much for her to be an active threat.
Armory Automaton has lost its niche, and was dropped to make room for card:Resoration Specialist|Restoration Specialist.
I've been really indecisive on what grave-hate card to use in this deck. The one grave-hate slot has been swapped a few times for the past while and I haven't been satisfied. A since card hasn't been able to offer everything I require for sufficient grave-hate. This deck now sports two cards to pick up the slack, each focusing on different roles while also possessing a secondary use aside from grave-hate.
Scavenger Grounds is the grave-hate card that fills the "full purge" role. When the graveyards are getting too full and/or there's a dedicated Graveyard deck at the table, this is the card that takes them down a peg. Scavenger Grounds is also capable of a second purge by sacrificing Desert of the True instead of itself. Tutorable with Expedition Map and Weathered Wayfarer. Outside of grave-hate, it's still a land.
Petrified Field was cut for Scavenger Grounds. I won't have to worry about recurring lands if they're all getting purged, and there's still Sun Titan available to bring them back.
Stonecloaker is the grave-hate card that fills the "single target" role. Cherry-picks the graves to stop targeted recursion or to preemptively remove problematic cards. Tutorable with Recruiter of the Guard. Outside of grave-hate, it can save another creature from death, get a second use out of an ETB trigger, and is a body to wield a Sword when necessary.
Cloaker has replaced Remorseful Cleric as the Recruiter tutor target. Scavenger Grounds now provides the full grave purge and Cloaker has more utility.
Masterwork of Ingenuity was an exciting card when it came out in Commander 2014. Cloning Argentum Armor has been great fun for the past four years. Although, Argentum Armor is pretty much the only Equipment I've been willing to clone. A second copy of Inquisitor's Flail works and another Batterskull is useful in a pinch, but everything else doesn't fare well. They either have keywords and static abilities that don't stack, have P/T boosts too small to bother, or are Legendary.
In fact, Legendary Equipment is a significant problem for Masterwork. One of the reasons I took out The Kaldra Set back in 2015 was to increase the number of potential clone choices. This has ultimately failed with the release of card:Legendary|Hammer of Nazahn Equipment that have, in my eyes, become indispensable staples of the Voltron archetype.
Another factor that botches Masterwork's performance is Balan herself. I can't use it to copy a Swiftfoot Boots or a Sword to protect a utility creature when Balan's attach ability affects every Equipment I control.
I'm taking this opportunity to use this Equipment slot for Basilisk Collar. Its deathtouch allows Balan to defeat any creature in combat, can be paired with one of the Equipment that offer trample to minimize blocked damage, can be thrown on any chump blocker to deter non-evasive threats, and is another source of lifegain for Dawn of Hope.
Why am I mentioning this? Because the same is said for Noble Templar.
Last year, I replaced Land Tax with Tithe to acquire Plains before an upkeep trigger and to have another tutor for Mistveil Plains . Tithe , unfortunately, has the similar late-game problem as Land Tax: if have plenty of basics and already have Mistveil Plains, then it's not capable of whole lot anymore. With Templar, just like the Dragon, I always have the body to fall back on. A body fully capable of wielding a Sword.

'When They See Us' exposes a legacy of hatred aimed at black men
From the Scottsboro Boys to the Central Park Five, much of white America has always despised black boys
Storm Reid (left) as Lisa and Jharrel Jerome (right) as Korey Wise in Netflix's "When They See Us." Atsushi Nishijima/Netflix
By Ken Makin	@differencemakin
"When do we ever get to be boys?"
It is a question that Ava DuVernay's masterpiece When They See Us asked in a gripping preview to a four-part series based on the true story of the Central Park Five.
It is also a question that rings true through American history.
Fourteen-year-old George Stinney was tried and executed in South Carolina in 1944 in an unfair trial. Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 because a white woman said he whistled at her. The Scottsboro Boys, whose trials predated both the Stinney and Till murders, were a group of nine teenagers from 12 to 19 who were accused of rape in 1931.
Society's sordid perception of black boys and men won't allow for that growth to happen gracefully. And so, we've got to fight like hell and through hell for our kids.
This generation is not without its horror stories. Tamir Rice was 12 when he was gunned down by police because he brandished a toy gun and, inexplicably enough, looked like an adult.
The cruel boys-to-men journey that so many black men in America have experienced is displayed in DuVernay's depiction of five boys — Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson and Korey Wise — who were treated and tried as men. The series has been so tough for some to watch that those folks could only stand to watch 15 or 20 minutes of the four-hour-plus series. The individuals who made their way to the fourth episode dived into the especially tough journey of young Korey, who, at 16, was tried as an adult and sent to Rikers Island and Attica Correctional Facility.
As much as racial injustice is a common denominator of these cases, there's also the truth that America will not address honestly. This country cares more about the claims of a white damsel in distress than it does the obligation of justice for black boys.
DuVernay displays this dynamic masterfully through her portrayal of diabolical prosecutor Linda Fairstein. The portrayal of Fairstein was so decisive that it has led to petitions and a call for Fairstein's publisher to drop her. Some would like to take it a step further — specifically, for Fairstein to do time.
'13th,' an urgent call for justice, highlights a history of national gaslighting
How 'Queen Sugar' helps us talk about rape culture
Ava DuVernay on the importance of images, having a voice — and why she flipped the script in 'A Wrinkle In Time'
That will be hard for America to stomach. It's still hard for certain folks to come to the realization that Rose Armitage was a predator and not a victim in Get Out. The silver-haired, pale-skinned Daenerys Targaryen wasn't a ruler who demanded total obedience and killed innocents. No, she was misunderstood and had "daddy issues."
Such pathology is explained in the second episode of the four-part series. Elizabeth Lederer (played by Vera Farmiga in the series) was the district attorney assigned to the case by Fairstein. There's a cold and calculated dialogue that she had with defense attorney Mickey Joseph (played by Joshua Jackson) in an attempt to make a deal:
Lederer: Fair? What's that word mean, anyway?
Joseph: I don't know, something to do with justice, I think.
Lederer: It's no longer about justice, counselor. It's about politics. And politics is about survival. And there's nothing fair about survival.
Joseph: Survival at what cost? These boys don't deserve to pay the price …
Lederer: I'm not interested in having a philosophical …
Joseph: Then what are you interested in?
Lederer: I asked you here to talk about a deal.
While that dialogue likely takes liberties with the original commentary, the message is clear. The "deal" comes at the expense of black boys — if not their lives, their innocence, and for what? The illusion of white purity.
That loss is especially harsh for Korey, who struggles with the decision to accompany his good friend Yusef. There's a scene in the fourth and final episode when Korey, who was transferred to Attica, had a heat-induced flashback. Had there been music to accompany Korey's pain, it likely would have been K-Ci and JoJo's Life, the title track about a movie where two men were jailed for a crime they didn't commit.
Temperature's like a hundred degrees
Like I got chains on me
Black male in a family of three
Been robbed of my destiny
Reckon I'll fly away
'Cause it's too much for the man
Shouldn't have gone down this way
What happened to my master plan?
'Cause I can't figure out
I could have been a loved child
When iconic comedians Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence collaborated on the movie Life in 1999, it was rightfully billed as a comedy-drama filled with laughs and high jinks. No matter how much we laughed at the movie, though, one unsettling fact remained:
Claude (Lawrence) and Ray (Murphy) spent their entire lives in jail for a crime they didn't commit. What played out in a movie was, and still is, the reality of many black men in the South and throughout the country, and it's no laughing matter.
Life was released on April 16, 1999 — almost 10 years to the date of one of the grossest miscarriages of justice that has ever played out in the public eye. DuVernay's visceral visuals begin with a single date: April 18, 1989. It was the day five young boys lost their childhood.

"When do we get to be boys?"
One of the most powerful scenes in the series is the picture of the incomparable Aunjanue Ellis, who plays the role of Salaam's mother, Sharonne. She storms into the police station and not only demands to see her son but (temporarily) liberates him from the ravenous prosecutors and police.
The burden of responsibility for making sure that our children grow into adulthood, and aren't forced into it, falls on parents and guardians. Society's sordid perception of black boys and men won't allow for that growth to happen gracefully, and so we've got to fight like hell and through hell for our kids.
Their lives, our lives, depend on it.
