If a disease lasts more than three months, it is considered a chronic condition. However, chronic illnesses are also conditions that have long-lasting effects that come with time. These diseases can vary in severity from making the patient feel minor discomfort for the rest of their life to degenerative conditions that slowly break down various organs and parts of the body. No matter how subtle or intense the chronic illness is, it always comes with symptoms. While many of these symptoms present themselves at various stages of the disease, they usually become quite apparent. However, that doesn't mean that they are easy to spot and diagnose.
Many chronic illnesses present as small issues or viruses in their beginning stages. This makes it difficult for doctors to catch them the first few times a patient seeks help. For the most part, the doctor will even treat the symptoms rather than look into further testing because most chronic illnesses are pretty rare. Do you think you have a better eye for illness than a doctor? We're going to give you a list of symptoms for chronic diseases to see if you can identify it. Take this quiz to see where you rank on the diagnosing scale.


I will say that I encourage parents to keep children in their crib for as long as possible. My son could climb in and out during the day, but he never did it at night (and since I knew he could do it so safetly during the day, I wasn't concerned for his safety). For the most part, children do not understand that they need to stay in their bed all night until 2.5 to 3 years old. Have I seen it work with younger children? Yes, But for the majority, later is better!!
If you need the crib for a younger sibling, make sure you have plenty of time before the younger sibling arrives between taking the crib away from the older child and giving it to the younger one.
If you do have a child who is climbing, you can try to put them in a sleep sack or a long t-shirt to make the climbing more difficult – this may buy you a couple extra weeks at least.
If you do put your child into a bed, please make sure their room is very child proofed, especially with a child on the younger side. Think about all the things your child can get into in the middle of the night if they were to wake and have free reign of their room and possibly even the house. You may also want to put a baby gate on their room so they can not get out.
Let your child help you pick out new sheets for the new bed to encourage them to sleep in it. If you do not already have a clock that changes colors when it is time for your child to wake up, you may want to get one now.
If your child is not staying in their bed at bedtime, try sitting at the doorway and reminding them to stay in bed. Then you can also give them extra reassurance that everything is ok.
Do you have suggestions or comments? Feel free to leave them below.

FareShare awarded grants from the Government's Food Waste Reduction Fund
FareShare is celebrating being one of eight charities to be awarded grants from the Government's £500,000 Food Waste Reduction Fund.
The new grant funding will allow two of our centres in the south of England to store and redistribute even more food with the purchase of both a walk in freezer and chest freezers. And the second grant will be used by FareShare Yorkshire to fund the costs of buying and running a 7.5 ton lorry. This lorry will enable the team to access much needed quality food that suppliers are unable to have delivered to our site in Barnsley.
FareShare Chief Executive Lindsay Boswell said: "We're always grateful to receive support to help us feed people in need. These two grants will enable us to start accessing new types of food to ensure that even more surplus is saved from waste."
"The Food Waste Reduction Fund will certainly help redistribution charities deliver more food in the short term. There are many economic, environment and social benefits to redistributing surplus food, and I would like to see the Government being braver and working with charities like FareShare to make innovative differences to the benefit of us all."
"While this fund is welcomed, FareShare believes the only way to reduce food waste in the supply chain is for the Government to give food companies the same financial incentive to deliver good surplus food to food charities, as they do to take it to anaerobic digestion plants. Good edible food should not be turned into energy – it should be going to feed vulnerable people."
FareShare launched a campaign called Feed People First in February 2018 to encourage the Government to offset the costs of charitable food redistribution for food manufacturers, processors and packers (which could include re-packing, harvesting, transporting, storage and handling) so that 100,000 tonnes of food could be used for people in need. By doing this, UK charities could be saved £150m, savings which they could reinvest into their services and feed even more people in need.

Q: mystery Error #1063: Argument count mismatch So I'm getting a "Error #1063: Argument count mismatch" error.  The weird thing is that it isn't keeping the game from running, but I would like to know why I'm even getting an error in the first place.  The full error is:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on Hock(). Expected 3, got 0.

    public function PlayScreen()
    {
        //Mouse.hide();

    }

        var newBat = new Bat( randomX, -50, this);

    {
        crossHairs.x = mouseX;
        crossHairs.y = mouseY;
    }*/
}

and from the looks of it the error has something to do with the Hock class, so here's the code for that:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.events.Event;

public class Hock extends MovieClip
{
    private var _screen: PlayScreen;
    public var xSpeed:Number;

    public function Hock( startX:Number, startY:Number, screen:PlayScreen )
    {
        _screen = screen;
        x = startX;
        y = startY;
        width = 100;
        scaleY = scaleX;
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveRightFar);
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveSpeed)
    }
    public function moveSpeed( e:Event ):void
    {
        x += xSpeed;
    }
    public function moveRightFar ( e:Event): void
    {
        if (x < 0)
        {
            gotoAndStop("rollRight");
            xSpeed = 13;
        }
        else if (x >= 240)
        {
            gotoAndStop("still")
            xSpeed = 0;
        }
    }

}

Now I could be wrong but I think it's having a problem with var newHock = new Hock(-72, 170, this); in the "addHock" function, but I have 3 arguments there, not 0.  Right?  Anyway, like I said, it's not keeping the game from running but it is kind of annoying, so any insight is welcome.  I'm sure it's something obvious.  Thanks!

A: I have a guess, but I'll explain how i got there first ...
the first line of the stacktrace pointing at your source code is
at PlayScreen()[Z:\PROJECTS\Silversound\Occulus Squish\Oculus Squish\Classes\PlayScreen.as:30]
which points at the first line of the constructor of PlayScreen: addBatButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addBat);
but obviously the problem is not there ...
But PlayScreen extends MovieClip and since you didn't specifically included a super() statement, the compiler will put that at as the first command. In fact, the previous lines of the stack point to the constructor of MovieClip and then to a mysterious constructChildren() method of Sprite
That happens to be an internal method used to create the childs of the Sprite that you might have setup on your clip's stage directly from Animate.
So my guess is, the player is trying to instantiate a symbol that extends Hock and that you positioned on the stage somewhere, and of course is doing it by passing zero arguments because that's what a normal Sprite would expect.
Check your library to see what extends Hock and then see which one of those is placed in some other symbol's stage. Your options then will be to remove that and create it from code or to rework the class signature to take zero arguments.

"Developing an Information Security Program (ISP) for the Town of Nantu" by Christopher Thomas Carrigan, David Connor McGinnis et al.
This Interactive Qualifying Project report to the Information Technology Department of the Town of Nantucket, discusses the importance of developing an Information Security Program (ISP) for town departments. The report details the history of information security risks, actions taken in response, and a thorough analysis of information security procedures. Our group utilized electronic surveys and interviews to gather feedback regarding the opinions of town employees on the security of information within the town departments and what specifics must be included within the ISP. The final product for this project provides a framework for a comprehensive security policy, and our findings create a detailed guide that will aid with the finalization and implementation of the ISP.

Our trip to Mykonos was a bit last minute, so after a whirlwind of booking flights and picking up a couple of pieces from my favourite Greek designers, Elena and Anastasia, we arrived late on Friday night and ventured into the town for a night of dancing on tables and bar hopping along the seafront. The next day we woke up early and headed down the hill once again to see what the town had to offer in daylight. You'll be well familiar with the typical Greek whites and blues, but the reality is even prettier – tiny streets and alleyways paved in cool stone with those infamous whitewashed walls and blue window frames. Mykonos is the windiest place I have ever been to (I was windswept from start to finish!), so after passing the famous windmills which line the seafront, it was a relief to dip down into the village. We explored the local shops, passed by the prettiest of churches and restaurants set up for the day ahead, before popping out into the old port, which is lined with tiny fishing boats. By mid morning the sun is high in the sky and the temperature rises rapidly so we snuck back into the warren of alleyways to make the most of the cooling shadows before heading back up the hill for a day at the beach.


Spring is upon us and so is a whole new week of great art events. This weekend, see some of the best of the photography world at AIPAD or head to Brooklyn to check out Welancora Gallery's new partnership with Nu Hotel. The Brooklyn Museum is also deconstructing the artist's persona and hosting a new Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition. #MidnightMoment also kicks off a new film in Times Square—this April, Naoko Tosa's "Sound of Ikebana" will take over the screens every night. Finally, come pick up my new book, "The Art of Spray Paint," and check out its corresponding exhibition at Wallworks Gallery in the Bronx.
Battle through the end of summer heat by flexing your art muscles. The London Police lads present a new body of work at the art-friendly Quin Hotel, while curator Alfredo Martinez explores philosophies of Picasso at Amy Li Projects. Artist in residence Tracy O'Neill shares her progress at Mathew Gallery, and the Morbid Anatomy Museum explores Twin Peaks for a unique evening. All aboard the legendary drag festival Wigstock, which takes to the high seas this Friday. Mr. Brainwash comes to town for a massive Chelsea show, and Midnight Radio Show treats Bushwick to an evening of fairytales and puppets. Finally, bring a blanket to the beautiful Socrates Sculpture Park for a night of South American music, cuisine, and film.
One of the busiest art shows I've ever seen returns to New York this week- Spoke Art's annual Wes Anderson-themed exhibition "Bad Dads," which attracts collectors, fans and those who love to dress like his characters (always a lot of fun). Artist Brian Leo's colorful myriad of cartoony drawings open at Amy Li, a massive group show curated by Melissa Mccain-Welles kicks off at Azart Gallery, and cutesy arty toy store My Plastic Heart hosts a two-person East vs. West Coast Show. The gorgeous grounds of Wave Hill in the Bronx invite guests to chat with artists in their current show after perusing the gardens, and Michael Alan brings his "living installation" for visitors to become a part of for its 13th anniversary.

Come Play is the most recent film to be expanded to feature length following a successful short project. With the moderate success of Lights Out, it's no big surprise that a studio would want to take a chance on Come Play, whose short film, "Larry", worked as a prototype for the feature it would become. This kind of thing happens quite often with genre projects, but sometimes you have to wonder is there really enough story to expand a 5-minute short into a 90-minute feature. Using the addiction to technology and its ever-expanding AI features, there is plenty of story to be mined from this. Recently there was the update to Child's Play that had AI technology seeking a new best friend it would kill to have, and in that film, Chucky was able to manipulate the technology around him. Come Play somewhat takes the same approach but instead creates a boogeyman for the age of modern tech. Then factor in that it's a film under the Amblin umbrella, a company that is responsible for Poltergeist, ET, and numerous 80's and 90's genre classics … well, it's hard to not have some raised expectations.
Oliver (Azhy Robertson) is a young boy who has autism. This has made his life at home and school rather challenging and has made it difficult for him to make friends. At home he spends his time watching Spongebob on his phone while his parents fight. It's easy to feel for the young boy, and the performance Robertson delivers is quite impressive for his young age. Most importantly, though, from the start of the film these characters feel grounded, and the result makes for many intense moments. It doesn't take long for Oliver to find a children's story that seems to just appear on his phone. The story talks about a creature that like Oliver is rejected by society and simply wants to find a friend. The creature calls himself Larry, but though his intentions seem innocent enough, very quickly we discover he's simply up to no good. Then there is the struggling mother, Sarah (Gillian Jacobs). Despite all her efforts, she can't seem to help her son, and her marriage is falling apart. Her struggles with her son have even affected her friendships, so when her husband prepares to move out, she feels even more alone.
The dynamic of the mother and son really is what makes the film work and what kept me engaged; the problem is the story feels pretty familiar, almost like an Americanized take on The Babadook. Despite the many similarities, I feel Come Play is actually a better-executed film. That's not to say the film doesn't have some issues. The first time we see "Larry" while Oliver is playing on his phone in his room, it does deliver a fun little jump scare; the problem is that the technique is used again and again, and the scares just become less and less effective. Now there are some moments I really got a kick out of, and it has to do Sarah's first interaction with Larry. There's a playfulness to some of Larry's actions that remind me of some of the early scenes in Poltergeist, when the family is playing with the chair in the kitchen, for example. There is a similar scene in Come Play, and everything seems promising, but the film just loses its momentum.
By the time the film reaches the third act and you feel the movie is just about to end, it seems to go on for what feels like about 10 minutes longer than is needed. The urgency is wasted, and you can mostly telegraph where this is all going. This is a bit of a bummer, and when the ending comes, I just felt a tad cheated. What elevates this film from several other films like Slender Man, I'm definitely a fan of the style, and it definitely does remind me of the visuals delivered in many of the classic 80's films. The first half of this film holds up nicely. Unfortunately many of the things that made the first half so good are recycled to death. Even more frustrating is the lack of a rational explanation for why Oliver is being targeted.
The biggest takeaway from this film is how dangerous our obsession with technology can be in the hands of children. Perhaps ghosts and demons may not be watching them, but plenty of hackers with the ability to manipulate our camera phones and deliver messages should be unsettling enough. It's the real threat that is more terrifying than anything Hollywood can conjure up with the supernatural. Perhaps a more grounded route with this story could have been more successful; who knows. I enjoyed the film for what it is, but despite its strong first half, it withered down to mediocrity.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Pradel Pompilus obtint une bourse pour aller étudier à Paris le français et les sciences sociales à la Sorbonne de 1945 à 1947. Il reçut le diplôme de licence lettres classiques et enseigna ainsi le latin et le grec ancien.

En 1950, il fut nommé sous-secrétaire d'État à l'Éducation nationale d'Haïti sous la junte militaire de Franck Lavaud, Paul Magloire et Antoine Levelt.

Dans les années 1950, il dirigea l'École normale supérieure de Port-au-Prince pendant huit années.

En 1955, il publia un ouvrage intitulé Pages de littérature haïtienne.

En 1957, il retourne à Paris préparer le doctorat de français à la Sorbonne. Sa thèse porte sur le « haïtianisme » sous le titre de La langue française en Haïti et sera publié à Paris à l'Institut des hautes études d'Amérique latine en 1961. Il est diplômé docteur ès lettres.

Pradel Pompilus déclare à ce sujet : « Le créole représente à mes yeux plus qu'un simple procédé pédagogique, mais un moyen d'opérer la réconciliation avec nous-mêmes, susciter le respect de nous-mêmes, gage du respect des autres… Ce que je défends dans ce livre, c'est, au-delà un vrai bilinguisme, l'unité et la solidarité nationale sans quoi il n'y a pas de vrai développement »."

Le , débuta la « Semaine linguistique » qui rendit hommage à Pradel Pompilus.

Pradel Pompilus resta un grand défenseur à la fois du créole haïtien en tant que patrimoine linguistique national et ardent défenseur de la langue française en tant que patrimoine littéraire et moyen de communication internationale à travers la Francophonie.

Yesterday afternoon we had to reboot kryten/penguin to flush their pipes. Sigh. Bruno is well on its way towards becoming a full fledged upload server, but the sooner we get bruno to be the download server the better. The major gating item on that is the need for a new 24 port gigabit switch for our closet. Long story.
Meanwhile many clients are still connecting to kryten for uploads. This is thanks to the wacky unpredictable internet while trickles out DNS changes at surprisingly slow rates. While diagnosing this I wrote a script to show me a sample of the most recent client version types to connect to our servers. I then made it into a web page (there's a link on the server status page as well). Yup - we're dominated by Windows, but they're not to blame for any DNS-related issues. Anyway kryten will probably completely free of upload traffic within a week or so.
I just heard cheers from Jeff's desk - he compiled an assimilator on bruno. He's now working on the validator - linking issues.
Bob worked some magic and got sidious back on track today without having to do a full restore. So it's acting as a replica again. We're still not exactly sure why, but we found the MYD files zeroed out within the past week (and was only exercised upon stopping/restarting the database on Tuesday). Some research shows this may be a bug when replicating a mysql version 4.1 database to version 5.0, which is exactly what we're doing. We're planning on upgrading the 4.1 soon, so maybe this problem will disappear.
Oh yeah - there was a network blip this morning around 6am. Not us. It was campus working routers further up the pike. And we had a minor blip around noon. That was me screwing around trying to get the beta project working again. I think Eric is ironing out the last remaining details on that as I type.
There is some concern that results got munged during all this switching around. Probably so, and we're sorry if this happened to you. We'll try to clean it up and get people their credit as best we can.

I wouldn't doubt that, As the PC user would then do something about Boinc on their PC, It'd be just deserts for the user who has added PCs without the permission of the PCs owner(s) in question. Sending a message to terminate the older classic versions through seti would have been nice but It's something that probably wasn't thought of, emails don't always work as explained already. I'd almost wonder is there anything that can be done? I know when classic was about to shut down a message was sent out and I saw it in the seti software, I don't know how It was done, But maybe this could be done as the seti classic software is expecting something, It's that or maybe shut down the ip address if that is possible at all. Otherwise I'm stumped.
Message 535704 - Posted: 23 Mar 2007, 22:59:29 UTC - in response to Message 535700.
May be a dumb idea, but the SETI task is downloaded as needed. Could the code be put in there. I admit the other projects would also have to include the code in their task(s) but it would clean up problems for anyone who includes the code.

In this world today, it is difficult to use your time well. It always seems like the day doesn't have enough hours to do all the things on the agenda. But, you might simply need a few smart strategies to fix the situation. The following techniques will help you to improve.
If you are frequently late or behind, you should pay more attention to deadlines. If you let deadlines slip, soon other obligations suffer as all your energy is devoted to one issue past the deadline. When on track, you will reduce tension during your tasks.
Begin every day by taking a look at your schedule, making sure it is well organized. If you know what to expect, and what you need to do when you begin your day, you are more likely to reach your goals. Make sure that you have all of the tasks you must accomplish in your schedule.
If you have a hard time managing your time, analyze the way you work. If you can't concentrate on tasks or stick with them until completion, then figure out why. It is important that you identify how your work procedure is working for you if more effective time management is what you want.
Plan your day the evening before to help get your time organized. You can do this towards the end of your day. By doing this, you ease anxiety and are better prepared to tackle the next day.
It is important to plan your day in advance. If you don't, you risk paying too much attention to less important tasks, causing them to take up more time than they should. If you figure out what absolutely must be accomplished, you can allocate your time more wisely. Consider keeping a list of every task you hope to get done, and then organize them by level of importance.
Think about the things that are costing you time. Make sure not to waste time on insignificant tasks. Check your messages on a regular schedule - not every time one comes in. Checking either periodically can really eat into the time you've allocated for more important tasks.
You must lean how to say no to people. Many people get too stressed because they can't say no to requests. When you have too many things to do on your to-do list, take a careful look at what it contains. Is it possible to share your responsibilities? If this is the case, you should consider soliciting help from others.
If you need to maximize your efficiency, don't hesitate to shut the door to your office. An open door invites intrusions. Also, you will get privacy from everyone else. This should signal others that you cannot be disturbed until you have finished your task.
Refrain from communicating with friends unless it is urgent. Interruptions like these can make it difficult for you to return to work. Return these instant messages, phone calls, and texts when you finish the tasks you're working on.
Time management might seem complicated, but once you know the basics it's not difficult. Take advantage of each minute of each day with these tips. That will ensure you have time to do what you love.

Eugene Richards: The Run-On Of Time
News, Photo Exhibitions	 24 November 2018 0
One of the most respected photographers of his generation, Eugene Richards has devoted his career to exploring profound aspects of human experience. Birth, death, family, and the grinding effects of poverty and prejudice, as well as the mental and physical health of individuals and communities, are recurring themes of his work. This exhibition—organized thematically, rather than by project—reveals Richards's enduring concern with these subjects over the course of his nearly fifty-year career.
Richards's style is unflinching yet poetic, and his photographs are deeply rooted in the texture of lived experience. Through photographs, writings, and moving-image works, Richards confronts difficult subjects with an impassioned honesty that can be challenging, lyrical, beautiful, and melancholy.
His work is informed by the subjective approach of Robert Frank and the social commitment of W. Eugene Smith. It is distinct from these precedents, however, in that it is more intimate and does not disguise its emotional investment. Richards is, in his own words, "very conscious of what it means to go into someone's house and take very private moments away in pictures. The responsibility of the photographer is to respect people while—and this is most important—utilizing all your skills to reveal something true about their lives and their humanity." This way of working results in photographs that can be seen as more honest and more realistic than traditional documentary imagery.
Ultimately, Richards illuminates aspects of American society that are more easily, or more comfortably, ignored. Yet the tender inflection of his strong, unique voice makes encountering his work an unforgettable and rewarding experience.

From classics to high tech: Themed Entertainment Association announces newest Thea Award recipients
Nov 19, 2020 Joe Kleiman Asia, Attractions, Business, Europe & Middle East, Events, Homepage Slider, Live Shows and Spectacles, Museums, News, North America, Technology & Media, Theme Parks, World markets Comments Off on From classics to high tech: Themed Entertainment Association announces newest Thea Award recipients
Nov 19, 2020 — The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) today announced the newest group of TEA Thea Awards recipients – considered one of the greatest honors within the attractions industry.
The slate of 27th annual award recipients announced today will be celebrated with a series of Thea Awards Digital Case Studies rolling out from July – December 2021. The recipients will also be documented in TEA's official Thea Awards Program with project descriptions, photos and comprehensive project credits.
The Thea Awards were founded in 1994 by TEA, a global nonprofit serving the visitor attractions industry.
Although unable in 2020 and 2021 to hold its traditional black-tie Thea Awards Gala and TEA Summit conference which draw some 1,000 professionals to the LA area each year for networking, celebration and professional development, TEA opted to continue its annual Thea Awards cycle and honor the recipients and the project teams with a series of online case studies and its elegant published program.
The themed entertainment industry touches all genres of visitor attractions, internationally – including destination theme parks and waterparks, regional theme parks, museums, visitor centers, resorts, parades, immersive experiences and spectaculars. The industry has exploded globally in the last decade and is significant to international business in terms of travel, tourism, land development, hospitality, retail, entertainment, education, IP and branding, design, architecture and technology.
From hundreds of nominations received each year, the Thea Awards Committee deliberates at length to produce the annual slate of recipients, which is submitted to the TEA International Board of Directors for approval. Chair of the 27th Annual TEA Thea Awards Committee is David Cobb.

Thea Classic
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, United Kingdom
As Blackpool Pleasure Beach turns 125 years old next year, it stands among few comparables in the world of themed entertainment, connecting the industry's past and future by thriving through more than a century of cultural, social and technological change.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach was founded in 1896 by A.W.G. Bean and his partner John Outhwaite, and soon became known for its innovative thrills as the site became packed with all sorts of unique attractions over decades of expansion. Today, the overall footprint of the development occupies 42 acres with 38 rides that span thrills, coasters, dark rides and family rides, not to mention a collection of shows and unique walk-through attractions. Most notable is the park's surviving collection of vintage rides, some of these are the last remaining types of their kind in the world. Their additions in the modern era have been equally impressive.
As one of the world's first and most iconic amusement parks, it has survived two world wars and the harsh environment of its seaside location while continually providing family fun and thrills for generations while remarkably also being a family-owned and -operated business since its inception, currently under the care of the fourth generation of Blackpool lineage.
Thea Awards for Outstanding Achievement (AOA) – recipient name, location (AOA category)
Entrance Experience, St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station, St.Louis Missouri, USA (Entrance Experience Limited Budget)
Thanks to the utilization of immersive projection mapping, original music and a simulated train ride that transports guests from past to present, this incredible new aquarium entrance experience crosses the threshold into entertainment design in new and unexpected ways. The experience creates a unique transition from the Train Shed's history to the arrival at the new Aquarium; it's difficult to know where reality ends and fantasy begins. The Entrance Experience at St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station represents a new generation of aquarium design.
Sesame Street: Street Mission, PortAventura World, Tarragona, Spain (Attraction)
With a combination of amazing, lifelike characters; a simple, fun, and engaging storyline; a highly approachable gaming system; and an age-appropriate ride experience; Sesame Street: Street Mission creates a unique family attraction worthy of recognition. It powerfully illustrates how major IP-based attractions can be executed with excellence at theme parks anywhere in the world. After years of wondering exactly 'how to get to Sesame Street,' we now know it's at PortAventura.
Qu Yuan, Jingzhou Oriental Heritage Park, Hubei China (Live Show Spectacular)
This latest of Fantawild's Oriental Heritage Park brand focuses on the culture of Jingzhou and the ancient Chu state (present-day Hubei province). Using the best of 21st century immersive experience technology, this live event spectacular tells the 2000-year-old story of Qu Yuan, regarded as the father of Chinese poetry. It blends live performers in architectural space with a moving stage, real-time tracking technology, projection and augmented reality to set a new bar for experience design and make history and culture breathe for today's audience.
The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride, Lionsgate Entertainment World, Zhuhai, China (Attraction)
One of the anchor attractions at the new Lionsgate Entertainment World, The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride is a fantastic adventure that is also a multi-rider, multisensory, interactive virtual reality experience – and a major theme park attraction. Guests climb aboard their own motorbikes, each with its own multi-axis motion platform and lightweight, sanitary VR headset. Riders are greeted by Jacob, who introduces them to their mission: to ride out with the wolf pack to combat the vampire newborns prowling the forest. They race off, with each rider in control of their speed and direction, and able to see other riders. All the elements come together in a truly cohesive, compelling and exceptional experience, a shining example of excellence in our industry.
Snorri Touren, Europa-Park, Rust, Germany (Attraction Limited Budget)
The Snorri character, developed for the new water park Rulantica, connects the youngest of guests with ancient Nordic stories in a beautifully lighthearted way, and this new dark ride is a wonderful update and evolution to the classic character-driven family dark ride. The immersive quality of the ride's highly stylized scenery, combined with its intimate sense of scale, make this an extremely charming and engaging experience. The timeframe to deliver this high-quality attraction is also worthy of recognition; design, fabrication and installation in just over a year's time is a staggering accomplishment.
ARGUS LED Dome System (Technical Innovation)
The ARGUS LED Dome technology is patented and manufactured by Lopu (based in China) and produced in four standardized dimensions, with diameters of 15m, 18m, 20m, and 23m. The system can also be customized to meet a project's specific needs. The system can deliver high quality video resolution of 4K, 6K, 8K, and more. Further, the ARGUS LED technology has adjustable brightness from 100-300nit, a sequential contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and intra-frame contrast ratio of 100:1. This means the system displays true black and a much finer greyscale.
This revolutionary viewing experience supports immersive storytelling in large dome applications and suggests significant potential for new applications. Ultimately, this technology is a new tool for immersive experience design.
Amazing Pollinators (Touring Exhibition, Limited Budget)
This cleverly conceived exhibit sparks interest in the natural world and spurs at-home observation of plants and pollinators. Amazing Pollinators provides an astounding magnitude of science and nature education in a cohesive, fun exhibit that engages all ages to play the game, score points, and learn. The analog-style interactive technique is a welcome counterpoint to the media and digital technology that dominate our world.
The Bourne Stuntacular, Universal Studios Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA (Live Attraction Spectacular)
This show exemplifies sophistication, imagination, technical achievement and creative application. The creative staging, and he dynamic way in which elements are combined – live performers, digital backgrounds, special effects – results in one 'wow' moment after another. The synchronous movement of the show action set pieces, and particularly the physical vehicles, is impressive, with unprecedented speed and accuracy in this context. The Bourne Stuntacular raises the bar on the traditional stunt spectacular.
The Nest, Los Angeles, CA, USA (Connected/Immersive Storytelling)
The future of themed entertainment is intimately linked to the demand for a more immersive, entertaining and authentic dialogue between storyteller and guest, and The Nest delivers. This unique, one-or two-person experience is a theatrical takeover of a large warehouse storage unit, scenically propped and dressed into an exploratory narrative of increasingly mysterious and dream-like hidden rooms, where guests rummage through the personal belongings of the protagonist as they unlock her beautiful, wistful, and powerful story. The Nest combines tenets of a puzzle/escape room with the immersion of an attraction, the emotion of an intimate theatrical performance and the personal agency of an alternate-reality game.
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Orlando, Florida, USA (Attraction)
This new, 21st century attraction is both surprising and mind-blowing; it keeps one engaged and delighted throughout the ride, making all guests feel as if they have literally stepped into an animated world in ways never imagined before. With a combination of physical sets, Audio- Animatronics figures, animated media and projection-mapping techniques, all syncing in time with trackless vehicles and a catchy original song and musical score, it turns a two-dimensional cartoon world into an immersive, eye-popping experience. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway raises the bar for all dark rides to come.
D.R.E.A.M. Centre, Chailey Heritage Foundation, Lewes, UK (Immersive Design for Special Needs Guests)
This high-touch, virtual interactive experience is specifically designed to cater to children of very limited abilities. This includes people with profound mental and physical conditions who cannot move on their own, nor be left on their own – an audience often underserved in more standard environments. Here, through this relatively simple application of adaptable screen technology and projection, they are given specific, careful, loving attention as they are taken through virtual experiences which they clearly find profound, entertaining, and moving. And that is the highest standard we have.
"Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall," National Geographic Museum, Washington DC, USA (Museum Exhibit Design, Limited Budget)
"Becoming Jane" is an emotionally moving exhibit, an insight into the extraordinary life and accomplishments of Dr. Jane Goodall, visionary primatologist and anthropologist. The real strength of the design is in the sense of immediacy and emotional engagement engendered by the experience. It is not only a story about how Jane became Jane…it calls upon each guest to be involved and to care – and in that sense, each person is 'becoming Jane.' It is altogether a very rewarding and inspirational experience, delivered with taste and restraint.
Les Quais de Lutèce Hotel, Parc Astérix, France (Themed Hotel)
To stay at Les Quais de Lutèce hotel is to travel 2,000 years back in history. It is a way to walk, shop, dine, and sleep in a detailed replica of a Gaulish village, an immersive experience in the world of Asterix and Obelix. All the architecture is characterized by a high level of concern for detail. On top of the quality and detail of the design, the management of Asterix has given careful attention to the sustainability aspect of the project.
Tait Navigator Automation and Show Control Platform (Technological Innovation of Industry Significance)
TAIT Navigator's technical breakthroughs of single-millisecond precision, flexible architecture, and sophisticated programming tools have pushed the boundaries of control systems and delivered extraordinary experiences worldwide, over the last several years. The TAIT Navigator is a premium control system that has the potential to grow in popularity and significance within the themed entertainment industry.
Jewel Changi Airport, Singapore (Airport Destination Experience)
Jewel Changi Airport has brought a new travel and leisure experience to passengers of Singapore Changi Airport and to local Singaporeans. The Jewel demonstrates excellence, creativity and innovation in the application of a themed natural environment as part of an airport experience. It actively engages the visitor to become a participant. The multi-sensory experiential arrival, quality of the integration of the natural and nature-themed environments and the family-entertainment aspects create a unique, new destination where the guest wants to stay to explore, relax and connect.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Disney's Hollywood Studios, FL and Disneyland Park, CA, USA (Attraction)
The mind-blowing Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is simply the most technologically advanced theme park attraction in existence today. This attraction combines 60 years' worth of WDI attraction design magic into one seamless, story-driven experience. The level of complexity and engineering are unparalleled and the experience integrates several completely unique ride systems. Dozens of individually complex systems are choreographed seamlessly to produce high capacity and redefine what a major marquee attraction can be. Rise of the Resistance demonstrates how a detailed and legendary IP story can be told not just on a ride, but through a complete system of experiences that add up to much more than just the ride itself. The entire attraction, from front to back, is one massive magic trick that leaves riders gobsmacked and represents the absolute pinnacle of how our industry can entertain an audience at a theme park.

Q: iTunes warning message on quit due to scripting Wrote the following in PowersHell as a quick iTunes demonstration:
$iTunes = New-Object -ComObject iTunes.Application
$LibrarySource = $iTunes.LibrarySource
foreach ($PList in $LibrarySource.Playlists)
{
  write-host $PList.name
}

This works well and pulls back a list of playlist names.
However on trying to close iTunes a warning appears

One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?

Obviously I can just ignore the message and press [Quit] or just wait the 20 seconds or so, but is there a clean way to tell iTunes that I've finished working with it?
Itunes 7.7.1, Windows XP

A: Here is one thing that I did on my a Powershell script that adds podcasts to iTunes. I use Juice on a server to download all the podcasts that I listen to.  The script uses .Net methods to release the COM objects.  When I wrote my iTunes script I had read a couple of articles that stated you should release your COM objects using .NET.

    [void][System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject([System.__ComObject]$LibrarySource)
    [void][System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject([System.__ComObject]$iTunes)

I also run my scripts the majority of time from a shortcut, not from the powershell prompt.
Based on your comments, I did some testing and I determined that I would get the message when running against iTunes, if I ran my script in a way that leaves powershell running.  iTunes seems to keep track of that.  Running the script in a manner that exits it's process after running, eliminated the message.
One method of running your script from powershell, is to prefix your script with powershell.
powershell .\scriptname.ps1
The above command will launch your script and then exit the process that was used to run it, but still leaving you at the powershell prompt.

A: You should be able to set $itunes to $null.  Alternatively, $itunes should have a quit method you can call.  $itunes.quit()


Contemporary Acupuncture takes an ancient therapy and re-defines its mechanisms and effects using present-day scientific understanding of human physiology.
Contemporary Acupuncture takes an ancient therapy and re-defines its mechanisms and effects using present-day scientific understanding of human physiology. At first glance, Contemporary Acupuncture may look strikingly similar to traditional Chinese acupuncture. Small thin needles are inserted into various points in the body, including hands, feet and scalp (with or without electrical stimulation) and left in place for a period of time before removal.
However, considerable differences exist between Contemporary Acupuncture theory and the traditional Chinese approach. In contemporary acupuncture, your practitioner (physician, physiotherapist, chiropractor etc.) treats you only after a conventional medical/neuro-functional diagnosis has been made. The practitioner will use acupuncture as a treatment modality along with other therapeutic approaches, as needed. The contemporary acupuncture practitioner applies treatment following a conventional (scientific) view and regards the acupuncture as having certain local tissue effects as well as providing segmental analgesia, extra-segmental analgesia, as well as central regulatory effects on the nervous system.
Contemporary acupuncture is very safe and serious side-effects are very rare. The process aims to be painless and the comfort of our patients is our highest priority. The needles that acupuncture use are single use, sterile, disposable and many are no thicker then a human hair.
For more information on Contemporary Acupuncture visit the Canadian Contemporary Acupuncture Association website at www.contemporaryacupuncture.ca.


Marriott International and Expedia Group have signed a new multiyear agreement.
According to two people familiar with the matter, Marriott was able to negotiate a commission rate with Expedia.
Marriott's CEO Arne Sorenson told Reuters last year that the company was trying to cut commissions for online travel agencies.
Visitors browse at the display of Expedia during the International Tourism Trade Fair in Berlin.
The companies have been working under an extension agreement after the previous contract expired in November. The new agreement is the first between the two since Marriott became the world's largest hotel company following its acquisition of Starwood Hotels in 2016.
According to two people familiar with the matter, Marriott was able to negotiate a commission rate with Expedia. The last reported rate was 12%. Last year, Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson told Reuters that the company was trying to cut commissions for online travel agencies, which can take a large bite out of hotels' profits.
Expedia's stock rose 1.4% in premarket trading Thursday, while shares of Marriott remained flat.
The deal will continue Marriott's arrangement with Expedia for booking last-minute guests, as well as expanding Expedia's role with Marriott's leisure packaging platform. In the fourth quarter, Marriott and Expedia plan to launch a distribution arrangement that deals with more than just last-minute bookings.

I go to SKM and get this popup about how they're not processing orders to august 22. I click the OK but all that happens is a black screen. Anyone else seeing this?
I think most of the makers are returning from their holidays...maybe that's the problem.
In Italy, the whole country more or less shuts down in August as that is when FIAT closes to re-tool their plants for the fall models.
So many companies do business with FIAT in one way or another it just makes sense for them to shut down too.
In turn, other companies that do business with the companies that do business with FIAT, ahem.....shut down as do the ones that do business with them!
Essentially it is a countrywide "Let's hit the beach!" moment or parametric linkage to a whole new level.

Эффект отражения (англ. the reflection effect) — термин в поведенческой экономике, обозначающий особенность поведения людей: стремление к риску или непринятие риска в ситуации заранее известного выигрышного или проигрышного результата (например, в азартных играх). Люди, как правило, не склонны к риску ради получения выгоды, но прибегают к риску ради избежания потерь. Назван так потому, что предполагает зеркальное отображение одной и той же реальности, пропущенное через призму того, насколько неопределенной является ситуация и как оценивается ее возможный исход.

Общие сведения
Впервые термин ввел лауреат Нобелевской премии по экономике Даниэль Канеман в содружестве с Амосом Тверски, в своем знаменитом труде «Теория перспектив» (Prospect Theory). Эффект отражения означает наличие противоположных предпочтений в отношении ситуаций с неопределенным исходом (азартных игр / перспектив), различающихся знаком результатов: то есть, являются ли результаты выигрышами (+) или проигрышами ( —) . Например, большинство людей предпочли бы определенный выигрыш в 20 долларов вместо одной трети шанса получить 60 долларов. Но они предпочли бы одну треть шанса потерять 60 долларов (и две трети шанса ничего не потерять) вместо определенной потери в 20 долларов. На самом деле предложенные два результата различаются по знаку (+ 20 долларов против −20 долларов). Разница между отражением и эффектом фрейминга заключается в том, что в эффекте фрейминга знак результата не изменяется (Fagley, 1993); тот же результат сформулирован так, что кажется, что он превращается в результат противоположного знака (выигрыш и выигрыш кажутся выигрышем и проигрышем). Таким образом, убыток в 20 долларов может выглядеть как прибыль (например, когда ожидался еще больший убыток). Фрейминг может показаться выигрышем, но объективно остается проигрышем и является одним из видов когнитивных искажений. Эффекты отражения и фрейминга предсказываются в теории перспектив с помощью S-образной формы функции ценности: вогнутая для выгод, указывающая на неприятие риска, и выпуклая для потерь, указывающая на стремление к риску.

Научный эксперимент
Канеман и Тверски также нашли убедительные доказательства того, что они назвали эффектом отражения. В 1981 под совместным авторством опубликовали статью «Психология выбора: обрамление наших решений» («The framing of decisions and the psychology of choice»), в которой описали модель поведения двух групп людей, поставленных перед определенным выбором.

Условная ситуация была связана со следующей легендой: США сталкивается с опасной эпидемией, поражающей граждан азиатского происхождения (Азиатская болезнь), которой могут погибнуть порядка 600 человек из указанной группы риска, проживающей на данной территории.

Для решения возникшей проблемы было разработано 2 программы, из которых нужно выбрать для применения только одну:

 программа, А: если выбрать ее, 200 человек будут спасены;
 программа B: если выбрать эту программу, то шанс на спасение 600 людей оценивается как один к трем (1/3), в то время как вероятность гибели всех 600 людей составляет два к трем (2/3).

Данная группа респондентов показала следующий результат: 72 % участников выбрали программу А.

Второй группе была озвучена та же история, но с другими (диаметрально противоположными, «зеркальными») формулировками, описывающими последствия внедрения каждой из программ:

 программа, С: если выбрать ее, погибнет 400 человек;
 программа D: если выбрать ее, то остается один шанс из трех (1/3), что никто не погибнет, в то время как вероятность гибели всех 600 человек оценивается на уровне двух к трем (2/3).

Выбор этой группы оказался зеркальным отражением результата выбора предыдущей: 78 % проголосовали на программу D.

Канеманн и Тверски обнаружили, что 72 % людей выбрали A а 78 % выбрали D, то есть в зависимости от формулировки люди выбирали зеркально противоположный по исходам результат. Это привело их к выводу, что, когда проблемы принятия решений включают не только возможные выгоды, но и возможные потери, предпочтения людей по сравнению с негативными перспективами чаще всего являются зеркальным отражением их предпочтений по сравнению с позитивными перспективами. Проще говоря, в то время как они не склонны к риску в отношении перспектив, связанных с прибылью, люди становятся склонными к риску в отношении перспектив, связанных с потерями.

Применение в юриспруденции
Истцы склонны воспринимать урегулирование по принципу «гарантированного» как убыток — потерю более высокого денежного результата, которого они ожидали, — и, таким образом, в соответствии с эффектом отражения, готовы рискнуть судом, чтобы избежать этой потери.

Для постоянных игроков, таких как страховщики и другие профессиональные риск-менеджеры, эффект приглушен, потому что они склонны проводить собственное рефрейминг; восприятие потерь преобразовывается в выгоду с учетом положительных сторон закрытия дела. Однако для новичка, выступающего в роли ответчика эффект отражения обычно присутствует во всей красе. Если урегулирование дела медиатором представляет собой уверенный проигрыш, то поэтому ставка на то, чтобы избежать этого проигрыша в суде, кажется очень привлекательным вариантом.

Применение в маркетинге
Ниже приведены 2 условные ситуации и способы их решения в пользу online предпринимателей и маркетологов с применением эффекта отражения.

Ситуация 1: посетитель думает, оставлять ли свой лид (контакты) в регистрационной форме на лендинге (одностраничном сайте).

Способ решения этой ситуации с позиции эффекта отражения: сосредоточить внимание клиента на выгодах уникального торговое предложения.

Механизм действия эффекта отражения: желание получить перечисленные выгоды подавляет склонность к риску их неполучения в случае отказа от заполнения .

Ситуация 2: человек думает, стоит ли ему отписаться от оформленной ранее рассылки.

Способ решения этой ситуации с позиции эффекта отражения: сосредоточить внимания на том, что он потеряет, отписавшись от рассылки (на практике это могут быть не только элементы уникального торговое предложения., но и бонусы, а также специальные предложения).

Механизм действия эффекта отражения: страх понести ущерб в виде упущенных выгод, подавляет склонность к потенциальному риску.
