Sleep. The one thing many entrepreneurs don't get nearly enough of. When you have emails to answer, events to plan, and people to manage, sleep just seems like an improper use of your precious time.
Except getting enough rest is precisely what you need to get everything done. In fact, sleep is critical for success because a well-rested brain is more productive, better at problem-solving, and also calmer under pressure.
But this doesn't mean you always have to go to bed at 8 p.m. and wake up at 5 a.m. All you have to do is give yourself just enough hours of shut-eye each and every night. Although that's usually the toughest part, especially when your mind is always racing with what you did that day and what you need to do tomorrow.
The key is to maintain a nightly routine with healthy ways of winding down (read our roundup of the best head so you can easily sink into a peaceful slumber.
To help you set your own routine, here are five ways top CEOs and billionaire entrepreneurs prepare themselves for a good night's rest.
Arianna Huffington learned the hard way that sleep should be her number one priority after collapsing from exhaustion back in 2007. She now follows a strict routine every single evening in order to get her eight hours a night.
Once her day is done, Huffington starts her two hours of "me time" before bed. First, she turns off her phone and any other electronics and takes them out of the bedroom. She then runs a hot bath with lavender oil and Epsom salts and lights a scented candle to truly relax.
Lastly, it's time for PJs and a good novel before bed. With this routine, she can finally feel calm and stress-free for a perfectly good night's sleep. Now that's self-care.
Bill Gates is the last person you would envision taking out his own trash, but doing house chores is how this billionaire unwinds after a long day. Before turning in for the night, Gates does his dishes, takes out the trash, and tidies up so the next day he can wake up to a clean house.
It's not such a bad idea considering that multiple studies show that cleaning alleviates stress and even act as a form of meditation.
According to Inc, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is another fan of washing the dishes as part of his de-stressing routine. It's an opportunity for him to focus on simpler things like the bubbles or the warmth of the water. It also allows his mind to relax and wander. This just goes to show that no amount of money puts you above doing household chores yourself!
While Arianna Huffington prefers books that have nothing to do with politics or the media, she's not the only one who likes to read before bed.
Bill Gates told the Seattle Times that he reads for an hour before bed, regardless of what time it is. But he does prefer literature that tackles more pressing issues like healthcare, poverty, and climate change. He even published a post on the five best books that you should also take the time to read.
Several leaders such as President Barack Obama and fashion designer Vera Wang have praised reading as their favorite way to retreat from the stresses of daily life — and an essential part of falling asleep.
But not everyone loves books: Some CEOs and top execs like to curl up in bed with their Twitter feed, emails, or even staff reports.
Working out is usually seen as a morning thing, but some use this stimulating activity as a way to unwind instead. In his blog post, Buffer CEO Joel Gascoigne reveals that he takes a 20-minute walk to disconnect his mind from work before calling it a night.
Similarly, media mogul and celebrity businesswoman Oprah Winfrey told Huffington Post she can't go to bed without meditating first. She uses that time to clear her mind and let go of all the stress she built up throughout the day. Oprah is a huge advocate for meditation and even launched her own meditation app for others to follow her lead.
According to Fast Company, American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault likes to write the top three things he wants to accomplish the next day. This helps him bring his current day to a close and prepare his mind to take on tomorrow.
Other high achievers such as Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Oprah prefer to write what they're grateful for. Oprah recommends keeping a gratitude journal to stay mindful of the present, and to write even the smallest things such as "ate melon in the sun".
Sandberg says she keeps a gratitude journal so she can go to bed thinking what went right in the day instead of what went wrong.
What you do before bed defines how well you'll spend the night, which in turn sets up your mood and energy levels the next day. Take five minutes right now to plan a night time routine you can stick to. Try to include at least one activity that allows you to disconnect from work and just focus on yourself for once. If insanely busy people like Gates and Bezos can make time for themselves every evening, then so can you.

The Phish Before The Storm: December 30, 1995 at MSG
Jam/ProgressiveAudioFlashback
By Tim O'Shea	 On Dec 30, 2020
Nineteen ninety-five was as formative and important a year for Phish as they come. So, it should come as no surprise that it ended at Madison Square Garden, a venue the band today calls "home." However, the New Year's run for 1995 would mark only the second and third times Phish ever played MSG. Even though New Year's Eve '95 may get all the "glory," it's lead-in from the night before has a lot to offer as well.
The show began with the relatively new "Prince Caspian," from then yet to be Billy Breathes album. It's a relatively quick and nondescript version. But immediately at its conclusion, some familiar feedback ensues, the signature drum beat kicks in and Phish is off and running with a rare first set, "Also Sprach Zarathustra," or simply "2001" as it's commonly referred to today. Phish packs a decent punch in this arena rocker that certainly is a short version when compared to contemporary ones. Yet again, the next song begins before "2001" can even finish. This time it's "Suzy Greenberg" with Page McConnell leading the way on piano, completing a unique opening trifecta.
Another quick, familiar-sounding feedback jam slows things down a bit before Phish takes off again. This time it's fueled by Jon Fishman's signature drum intro to "David Bowie." This gives the band their first real opportunity to explore the New Year's space at MSG, and they do just that. A patiently crafted jam is accentuated with some brilliant Anastasio-provided guitar licks, which grow slowly in ferocity. This yields a hearty response of approval from the crowd as the first real jam of the night.
The first set also features a "Kung" sandwich, with the opening and closing sections of "It's Ice," ably serving as the bread. There's even a nod to Gamehendge, courtesy of the ensuing "The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday" sequence, with the Mike Gordon-led "Avenu Malkenu," placed right in the middle per usual. Emotions then come to a peak in the first set with an absolutely rousing "Divided Sky" that features a noticeably long "pause." A quick romp through "Sample In A Jar" brings a first set that seemed to pull a little bit of everything from the band's mid-90s repertoire.
Native New Yorker, Mike Stone, got to make the chess move, on behalf of the audience prior to the start of the second set. This was the second of two chess matches between the band and their fans in 1995. These wound up being split. And for those unaware, the rematch looms.
While the second set doesn't offer up as much in the way of rarities as the first, it more than makes up for it in execution. "Ya Mar" opens the second stanza and includes a perfectly placed "Auld Lang Syne" tease from Trey. Another fairly new song still finding its legs in "Free" follows this. But the highlight of the set, and possibly the show, is the triumphant "Harry Hood" that comes next and builds to an incredibly emotional peak. When this is paired with a thunderous "AC/DC Bag," it creates one of the earlier special Phish moments at MSG.
"Lifeboy" serves as the well deserved 'breather' song after this impressive sequence of music. But that's the last of its kind for this show. "Scent Of A Mule" sees a particularly drawn out "Mule Duel" between Trey and Page before its maniacal klezmer-esque finish. And the set ends in fine fashion with a double closer of sorts. A standard take on the Picture of Nectar classic "Cavern" begets an absolute whirlwind of a "Run Like An Antelope" and the typical musical chaos that comes with it.
For an encore, Phish trotted out "A Day In The Life," a Beatles cover that was also new to 1995. This would be the only non-instrumental cover of the evening. An impressive performance of nearly all originals, both new and old, defined the second ever Phish show at MSG. And it certainly laid the groundwork for what would be the third time's "charm" the following evening.

A few weeks ago the Toronto city council voted to reduce Jarvis Street, a north-south corridor running from midtown Bloor to the downtown core, from five lanes to four. Despite the facts that the city is woefully behind on its plan to implement bike lanes around the city and that Jarvis was a nightmare for cyclists, residents of affluent neighbourhoods like Moore Park and Rosedale (which feed into Jarvis) complained about the estimated two minutes this would add to their trip downtown. This action, following on the heels of a decision to increase the number of intersections at which drivers cannot turn right on a red light from 98 to 108, spurred drivers and mock newspapers to accuse the city of waging a war on cars.
While "war on the car" is a laughable notion — shame on the NAACP for waging war on white people! — Toronto isn't the only large city sparking talk of war by trying to introduce more pedestrian-friendly measures. Something similar is happening in New York, where the transportation commissioner has closed off the Times Square portion of Broadway to car traffic and made it pedestrian space. In NYC it's more clearly cast as a culture war ("To her opponents, she's the latest in an extensive line of effete, out-of-touch liberals: the hipster bureaucrat." and so on), though it takes little imagination to see that's the underlying sentiment in Toronto as well. Class wars doesn't play well here, so it gets dressed up as inconveniencing the poor drivers — for heaven's sake, the Tamil protests last month drew far more attention from furious drivers than from the politically curious — but a quick read through the comments in any Globe, Post or Sun article about these changes reveals the target of drivers' ire: hippy tree-huggers and socialist city councillors.
Because both Adelaide and Richmond are four-lane roads, conversion from one-way to two would be possible.
Right now neither street sustains the kind of vitality as King, Queen or College Streets. The one-ways are largely back streets west of Yonge, and expressways to the east.
The Bay doesn't bother to dress the Richmond St. windows of its Queen St. flagship store.

$60 Million In Debt, Liverpool Owners Advertise 'Heaps Of Great Stuff' On eBay
As press reports suggested that they were in danger of saddling Liverpool with enormous, crippling debts, the club's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett were in bullish mood today, announcing that they were 'confident of raising the cash' to meet the estimated 42-million-pound shortfall, thanks to a huge eBay clearout of stuff they had lying around back home in Texas.
'Sixty million bucks sure sounds like a lot of money,' said a defiant Gillett, 'but you wait to see what I'm bid for my life-size Elvis Presley mannequin. The reserve price is $200.' Hicks, meanwhile, is pinning most of his hopes on the entire Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series for PlayStation 2, which he is selling for $15 a game or fifty for the lot. 'Even the older ones, like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, are still heaps of fun to play,' Hicks reassured potential bidders at a press conference. 'They'd make a great gift.'
Many Liverpool fans were concerned in 2008 when the American pair bought a majority shareholding in the club, worrying that one of football's traditional powerhouses was in danger of becoming a plaything for a pair of wheeler-dealers with little respect for its history or traditions. Hicks sought to ease such fears yesterday, reassuring fans that Liverpool would not be left to pay for the Americans' excesses. 'Hell, no. If anything, the club stands to make a profit.' When asked how this could possibly the case, Hicks put his fingers in his ears and whistled America The Beautiful while Gillett gave reporters details of the eBay link for a Chinese lamp which he hopes to offload for 'somewhere near $100'.
At the time of going to press, the pair's eBay fire sale had raised only $3.50 plus postage of the required $60 million.
When it was put to Gillett that he and Hicks were a couple of poisonous dickheads who had irresponsibly toyed with a club dear to the hearts of millions, that they had little discernible interest in football or affection for its followers, and that they really ought to fuck off at the earliest possible opportunity, Hicks grinned goofily and said 'I guess so. Dang!'

Jer Master was an Indian pediatrician who left medicine to pursue the study of Christian Science. For more than two decades, Master worked in the field of medicine, both in private practice and as a professor of pediatrics at the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai, India. Several years after becoming introduced to Christian Science, she resigned her position at the hospital. Master eventually became a practitioner and later, a teacher of Christian Science.

Career
Master was raised and educated in Mumbai. In addition to a private practice specializing in pediatric cardiology, she was affiliated with the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in Bombay, India, where she was a professor of pediatrics.

Around 1969, a neighbor gave her a few copies of the Christian Science Sentinel, which she accepted "to be polite". Master said, "I quickly realized this was not the usual kind of missionary literature; its logic and clarity set it apart." At that point, she bought a copy of Science and Health, the textbook of Christian Science, but she continued her medical work. Over time, her views changed. Master said that in addition, a return to Cornell University Medical Center in New York, where she had done postdoctoral research proved pivotal. Finding herself recognizing some of the young patients from more than a decade earlier, (with her notes still in their files), she found their lives sad and the state of medicine to be "so futile". Master said she was cured of bouts of severe migraine headaches after reading the first chapter of Science and Health.

In 1976, after 25 years, she resigned her position at the hospital and quit her medical practice. She had "primary class instruction" in Christian Science. Master became a practitioner and later, a teacher of Christian Science. Asked in a 1980 interview to describe the differences between medicine and Christian Science, she replied, "First, medical theories change from year to year. Books written ten years ago are almost outdated now. There's not a fixed law on which such theories are based, whereas Christian Science is based on fixed Principle, God." Master continued, "And not only do medical treatments and concepts vary from year to year, but from one part of the world to another." Master also mentioned the often dangerous side effects of various drugs and medicines, as well as Iatrogenesis. According to Master, in Christian Science treatment, effects are "only beneficial". She continued her work in Christian Science until her death in 2010.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies from the National Defense Forces (NDF) have allegedly killed 691 enemy combatants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the last 48 hours at the Syrian provinces of Al-Hasakah and Deir Ezzor.
According to media sources from the Syrian Armed Forces, the latter has killed 444 ISIS fighters at the provincial capital of the Al-Hasakah Governorate and 247 ISIS fighters at the provincial capital of the Deir Ezzor Governorate – among these 691 casualties, 13 of them were reportedly field commanders identified by the Syrian Armed Forces.
While the Syrian Armed Forces have killed a substantial number of ISIS militants in the last 48 hours, these alleged numbers have not been confirmed by the Syrian Arab Army's Central Command – the only reports that confirm these numbers are SAA media activists.
Al-Masdar News was able to confirm the death of 94 ISIS militants at the provincial capital of the Al-Hasakah Governorate in the last 72 hours; however, the 350 others that the SAA media activists reported could not be confirmed by this news agency.

Former world number one Billie Jean King has softened her initial stance on the controversy over Serena Williams, who was "totally out of line" when she vehemently disputed calls by chair umpire Carlos Ramos.
The altercation happened during Saturday's US. Open final.
Ramos, however, could have prevented the affair had he communicated better and given Williams a 'soft warning', instead of a code violation when he saw her Coach Patrick Mouratoglou giving signals during the match, King said.
King's remarks to CNN were something of a walk back of her earlier comments, when she said in a Washington Post editorial that Williams had faced down sexism with her protests.
She also did not criticize Williams' on-court behavior.
King, however, said Williams was not aware she had been handed a first violation and was surprised to have a point taken from her, when she received a second for later smashing her racquet.
The loss of the point prompted Williams to call Ramos a "thief", which led to a third violation for verbal abuse that resulted in the umpire issuing a game penalty.
"Although he could have prevented the incident from escalating, King said.
King said she hoped the incident would bring about needed changes to the sport, including allowing for direct communication between the umpire and the fans, over a loudspeaker and ending the ban on coaching during Grand Slam matches.

Philip LoGrasso, PhD, is a professor at The Scripps Research Institute, Florida campus.
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry; Scientific Reports; studies were supported by the Department of Defense (W81XWH-12-1-0431 1192) and the National Institutes of Health (GM103825).
Newswise — JUPITER, FL – January 27, 2015 – In a pair of related studies, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown their drug candidates can target biological pathways involved in the destruction of brain cells in Parkinson's disease.
The studies, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Scientific Reports, suggest that it is possible to design highly effective and highly selective (targeted) drug candidates that can protect the function of mitochondria, which provide the cell with energy, ultimately preventing brain cell death.
These drug candidates act on what are known as the JNK (pronounced "junk") kinases—JNK1, JNK2 and JNK3—each an enzyme with a unique biological function. JNK is linked to many of the hallmark components of Parkinson's disease, such as oxidative stress and programmed cell death.
The new studies raise the hope that such a therapy could prevent the gradual degeneration of brain cells in Parkinson's disease and halt these patients' decline.
"Some of these compounds had a level of selectivity that ranged as high as 20,000-fold against competing targets and were extremely effective against oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction—both potent cell killers," added HaJeung Park, director of Scripps Florida's X-ray Crystallography Core Facility and the first author of the Scientific Reports study.
The scientists found that within JNK3, a single amino acid—L144—was primarily responsible for the high level of JNK3 selectivity. Isoform selectivity can help to limit potential side effects of a drug.
Intriguingly, some recent studies have shown that JNK3 not only plays a central role in brain cell death in Parkinson's disease, but also in Alzheimer's disease. LoGrasso and his colleagues also believe their JNK3 drug candidates have potential for treating ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).
Both studies were supported by the Department of Defense (W81XWH-12-1-0431 1192) and the National Institutes of Health (GM103825).
About the Scripps Research InstituteThe Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) is one of the world's largest independent, not-for-profit organizations focusing on research in the biomedical sciences. TSRI is internationally recognized for its contributions to science and health, including its role in laying the foundation for new treatments for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia, and other diseases. An institution that evolved from the Scripps Metabolic Clinic founded by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1924, the institute now employs about 3,000 people on its campuses in La Jolla, CA, and Jupiter, FL, where its renowned scientists—including three Nobel laureates—work toward their next discoveries. The institute's graduate program, which awards PhD degrees in biology and chemistry, ranks among the top ten of its kind in the nation. For more information, see www.scripps.edu.

Katarzyna Ostrogska
Prince Krzysztof Radziwiłł (Christopher Radvila, Lithuanian language: Kristupas Radvila ) (22 March 1585, Biržai – 19 November 1640) was a Polish-Lithuanian noble (szlachcic), and a notable magnate, politician and military commander of his epoch. Sometimes referred to as Krzysztof Radziwiłł II, to distinguish him from his father, Krzysztof Mikołaj 'Piorun' Radziwłł.
A proud magnate, sensitive to the point of ancestral honour and heritage, convinced of his vocation to play a leading role in the country. He was a successful military leader, but selfishness and pride divided his supporters and weakened his significance in the politics. As the leader of the Lithuanian Calvinists, he was often threatened and disliked by the zealous and ultra-Catholic King of Poland, Sigismund III Vasa.[1]
Owner of Biržai, he was Field Hetman of Lithuania from 1615, Castellan of Vilnius from 1633, Voivode of Vilnius Voivodeship from 1633,.[2] Great Lithuanian Hetman from 1635,.[2] starost of Mahilyow, Bystrzycadisambiguation needed,[3] Žiežmariai and Seje. In 1632 he served as Marshal of the Sejm.[2]
He successfully fought in Polish Livonia against Sweden from 1600s to 1617. He took part in the campaign against the Swedes in the Baltic region in 1621–1622 (Polish-Swedish War), where he agreed to a controversial truce (as he had no permission to negotiate it from the king or the Sejm).[2] Important commander of Lithuanian forces during the Smolensk War, where he was instrumental in obtaining the capitulation of the Russian army in the relief of Smolensk.[2] Afterwards, in 1635, he retired from his military career, concentrating on administering his estates. A Calvinist, he was a great protector of Protestants in Lithuania.
He was an opponent of Catholic king Sigismund III Vasa, but a supporter of his more tolerant son, Władysław IV.[2] An advocate of Władysław's marriage to a Protestant princess, he distanced himself from the king after Władysław declined this marriage proposal. He opposed an alliance between the Commonwealth and the Habsburgs. On his lands in Kėdainiai he founded a major Calvinist cultural and religious centre,.[2] which flourished till the 19th century as a center of the Polish Reformed Church. His large horse stables were famous throughout Europe.

I've spent the last few days watching Benny Hill:The Complete Megaset 1969-1989.
Sometimes things you get a glimpse of as kids don't really hold your attention as adults. Thankfully this was not the case with The Benny Hill Show. Although his show did include a lot of stockings, garters, sexual innuendo and cleavage it was also much more than that. There was quite a lot of wordplay, puns, satire, parody and so on. Some of this was obviously particular to a certain time and place in the U.K. but much of it was not. Hill also had a huge debt to silent film/slapstick and to Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. There was more drag than I remembered. There was also some racial and ethnic humor. YMMV on this of course. The only saving grace is that he seemed to include just about every group in this and it wasn't often too mean-spirited. Still, times and standards have changed. That's a good thing.
Hill spoke a number of languages and used accents or impressions of "foreign" misunderstandings to great affect. One running skit has Hill playing a visiting Chinese dignitary whose malapropisms would always confuse his English interviewer and convince Hill's character that the Englishman was a moron. Another had Hill playing a German man who would innocently sidle up to an attractive Englishwoman and start a conversation in which he would make "mistakes" and then want to know the proper English words for certain actions or body parts.
I liked the early years best. In the later years he became sort of lazy and turned over huge swaths of the show to the Hills Angels dancers. Even so Hill and his team did a great job with humorous adaptations of "Carmen" and "Cabaret". This box set includes several interviews with various Hills Angels or other actresses on the show as well as some analysis of how Hill's show actually worked. There is some info about the decline near the end.
This Coen Brothers film is not so much of a remake of the John Wayne film as it is (according to the Coen's) a more faithful adaptation of the original book by Charles Portis. It was Oscar nominated. It stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Barry Pepper, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld.
I think most people are familiar with the story. A 14 year old girl , Mattie Ross (Steinfeld) seeks justice for her father, murdered by his employee, Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). Ross is a young lady of strong nerve who has an abiding belief in justice in this world and the next. To this end she seeks to hire a US Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), described as the meanest Marshal available and one that has "true grit".
Cogburn would rather be left alone to drink and carouse away his days. He views the idea of chasing Chaney through Indian Territory for small pay as ridiculous. But Ross is not a girl that takes no for an answer. Steinfeld's interpretation of this character is what makes the movie work. The role requires that she radiate a sense of Christian self-righteousness (Ross talks repeatedly of God's Justice), canniness about money (her mother does not read and after her father's death Ross handles all of the family business, showing herself to be a sharp negotiator), and also occasionally shocking naivete (she is only 14 after all).
The Coen Brothers' (or the original author's) dialogue also draws the viewer into an austere world, one that is not easy to live in but one in which justice is harsh and inevitable. This movie is also a throwback to older Westerns and seventies films in which the filmmaker is confident enough in his work to let things slowly develop on the screen and show you things instead of telling you. This is 180 degrees away from Tarantino, so if you're looking for that style, this isn't it. This has a very Old Testament feel to it, in both language and pacing.
Another remake, The Mechanic was somewhat disappointing. Actually it was very disappointing. I'm not sure why. Remake status aside, I think it was just too predictable. I mean how many films have you seen where the father figure of the protagonist dies and the protagonist finds out that some betrayal was involved. So he hooks up with an ally of uncertain loyalty to find out what happened and make those SOB's pay. We're gonna kill them all. They started it. We're gonna finish it. I'm calling you out. I'm coming for you.
I like Jason Statham but his work here as an assassin trying to get to the bottom of a conspiracy was strictly paint by the numbers stuff. Ben Foster and Donald Sutherland didn't add very much to the story either. There's really no one to root for and so the film was emotionally empty. YMMV of course but this is really nothing new or different. I did learn that if I ever have to fight an enraged 6-6 270lb man, stabbing him in his yarbles would be a good way to equalize things but I kind of already knew that.

Home Gaming 'Genre-blending' tactical RPG Iron Danger announced for PS4, Xbox One, and PC
'Genre-blending' tactical RPG Iron Danger announced for PS4, Xbox One, and PC
Finnish developer Action Squad Studios has announced Iron Danger, a new "genre-blending tactical RPG with simultaneous turns and time rewinding mechanics" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. A release date has yet to be announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Action Squad Studios:
Iron Danger is a story driven tactical RPG with simultaneous turns. It is a streamlined, action-packed single-player game in which repetitive grinding is kept to a minimum and every moment advances the story. The player controls Kipuna and one of two individual companion characters in tactically challenging battles against a variety of different threats. At center stage in combat is the unique time shifting mechanic that represents Kipuna's magical influence over the flow of time. It gives the player the ability to rewind at any point with fraction-of-a-second precision, pinpointing strikes to enemies' unguarded moments, deflecting and dodging attacks exactly when they happen, synchronizing magical and physical attacks to overwhelm difficult enemies, and overcoming impossible odds through trial and error.
Iron Danger challenges you to think of combat and puzzles from a different perspective: you may be an experienced gamer, who knows all the tricks, but you've never played a game like this.
Kipuna, a frail village girl, is forced to escape from her home. She stumbles upon a mystical crystal shard, which impales her but also gives her the ability to control time itself. In this trailblazing adventure packed with action, the player and the group of unsung heroes must use their wits as they're drawn into the midst of a war between the city of Kalevala, ruled by an immortal, who has renounced the gods, and the armies of the Northlanders driven by their Witch Queen. When the enemies will seek to harness the power of the mystical element for the service of total destruction, the player's task is to seek all the missing shards in order to use it for mankind's protection.
Iron Danger is set in a world of lofty fells, primeval forest, and placid lakes… as well as living gods, monsters of steel and smoke, and supernatural doom dwelling beneath the ground. The magical city of Kalevala, shines in the middle of this world, surrounded by towns, rivers and and woodlands under its protection. But from the desolate North, a Witch Queen is leading her dark army on a quest for vengeance against the lords of Kalevala.
Use unique time-rewind mechanics and experience totally new take on tactical combat and puzzles.
Enter into deep tactical combat with simultaneous turns and take advantage of highly interactive environment to succeed.
Adventure in a world of steampunk fantasy and meet it's unique inhabitants inspired by Nordic mythos and folktales.
Fight epic boss monsters on the path to fulfill your destiny.
No grinding. Character development is tied to actions that player characters will take.

Restoration Complete: Frankenmuth's Iconic Covered Wooden Bridge Now Open
Frankenmuth, MI – May 14, 2015 – After being closed for several weeks due to restoration and reconstruction, the Bavarian Inn's covered bridge that spans the Cass River has reopened for all vehicle, horse and foot traffic. Prior to its makeover, the 239-foot-long bridge, now called Bavarian Inn's Covered Bridge (Holz-Brücke), had survived 35 years of Michigan's winters and summers and more than 4 million vehicle crossings.
The reconstruction was led by Tim Gilmour of Gilmour Construction in Frankenmuth. Lumber from Lapeer Hardwoods in Lapeer, Michigan was used to replace the bridge's cedar shingles and new roadway planking along with 7200 hand pounded nails in the roadway alone. The reconstruction was entirely financed by the Bavarian Inn Zehnder family, and used no tax dollars.
The covered bridge was installed in January 1980 by New Hampshire craftsmen after being built on the river bank over the course of two years. Structural framing timbers from Oregon and locally sourced 3-foot-long shingles were used for the roof along with 16-foot-long 4x8s for the planked roadway.
Bavarian Inn Restaurant: (bavarianinn.com) Celebrating 125 years of service in 2013, the Bavarian Inn Restaurant has become a Michigan landmark, thanks to Dorothy and her late husband William "Tiny" Zehnder. Guests experience the old-world European charm of the Bavarian Inn – whether it's the famous chicken dinners, fresh baked goods or Michigan's greatest selection of German beer.

Sweet retreat: Bavarian Inn's Candy Corner & Chocolate Shop
gets complete makeover
Bigger, brighter look awaits Castle Shop guests
FRANKENMUTH, Mich. – March 25, 2015 – Just in time for Easter, workers are putting the finishing touches on a complete renovation of the Bavarian Inn Restaurant's Candy Corner and Chocolate Shop, where guests will experience new, bright and colorful displays, along with improved access to the shop's vast selection of sweet sensations.
Located in the ground floor in the Castle Shops at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant, the Candy Corner and Chocolate Shop offers an impressive selection of imported, novelty and retro candy. Guests can watch as the shops' "candymeisters" and chocolatiers create mouth-watering chocolate clusters, truffles, fudge, brittles and gourmet candy-covered apples.
According to Jim Dohrmann, the Bavarian Inn's retail division manager, "The basic footprint of the shops stays the same, but the look is completely up to date. Walls are new, ceilings are higher, cabinets are new, colors are brighter, and walkways are opened up. Our guests will definitely notice the changes."
Dohrmann added, "We will continue to sell many of the same popular products our guests have come to know and love, such as our signature Turtle Apples, Glockenspiel Mice, and our assorted brittles, Jelly Belly candy, taffy, suckers and more. And we'll be adding some new and exciting products."
Renovation of both shops will be complete the week before Easter.

Frankenmuth, MI – March 23, 2015 – The iconic Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn received the Outstanding Family Business award from Saginaw Valley State University's (SVSU) College of Business and Management at its second annual Best in Business awards ceremony held Friday, March 13 on the SVSU campus in Kochville Township, MI.
In presenting the award, the college noted: "The Bavarian Inn Lodge and Restaurant offers visitors the chance to explore over 40 shops, yearly festivals and events, and a taste of classic German architecture. It employs more than 400 people and serves over a half million meals each year, and is annually ranked among the top independent U.S. restaurants."
Meeting the SVSU Business College's award criteria of being an established family-owned business headquartered in the Great Lakes Bay Region, the Bavarian Inn also had to demonstrate:
• its specific strengths as a family-owned business
• its contributions to the community
• its family business best practices.
Reflecting on the significance of this latest award, third generation owner and current restaurant president Bill Zehnder, attributed the success of Bavarian Inn to strong family ties. "My father often said, 'Family is everything,'" Bill commented. "We continue to live and work by that philosophy. We have a shared history and a shared moral code. We grew up together, worshiped, worked and played together. We truly cherish and respect each other. In business, we adhere to a creed based on our shared values and vision. Work is an extension of our family bond."

Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn's Guest Loyalty Program
Celebrates 16 Very Loyal Years
• Bavarian Inn a pioneer in offering one location loyalty program
• 21,000-plus members in Perks Club
Frankenmuth, MI – March 18, 2015 – What's it like to have more than 21,000 "family members?" "It's awesome!" says Jim Engel, COO of the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Engel's family members are actually members of the Bavarian Inn Lodge and Restaurant's extended family, the Perks Club. Founded in 1999, the Perks Club is one of the largest private loyalty and rewards programs in the country.
"Many people have told us how they came to Frankenmuth as children and are now bringing their children and grandchildren," Engel says. "As we continued to hear this from our guests, it became evident that we needed to reward these guests for coming back all these years and being loyal to us."
What prompted a private loyalty program as opposed to a third-party version? "We knew we had loyal guests of the Bavarian Inn and we knew we saw them frequently, but we truly did not know who they were," states Nancy Sommer, Perks Club manager. "Recognizing these guests was important for our business and rewarding them for their loyalty was even more important. By creating our own program, we were able to tailor our rewards more to individuals because we learned more about them as people, not just as membership numbers.
"All of our members have their own unique spending patterns," Sommer continues. "It is very important to appeal to each member of our Club. While most overnight with us, some only dine with us, while others are primarily shopping guests. We offer benefits that appeal to the varied interests of our members and encourage them to visit more frequently."
Most of the Bavarian Inn Perks members have been in the Club for years. There is very low attrition, with thousands of new member referrals coming from existing members. "We have been studying loyalty clubs of other hotel chains and airlines for years," stated Engel. "We have not been able to find a significant independent resort running a club like ours anywhere else in the country. With a 16-year history, we believe we are pioneers in offering a diverse and robust loyalty program for a single location."
Perks Club members pay a small fee for membership, with 10 points awarded for every dollar spent on all purchases within the Bavarian Inn companies: Bavarian Inn Lodge, Bavarian Inn Restaurant, Frankenmuth Cheese Haus, Castle Shops, Covered Bridge and Leather Gift Shop and 14 company-owned shops within Frankenmuth River Place. Reward certificates are generated at each $200 level.
Members also receive priority dining reservations at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant whenever possible and priority status on lodging waitlists as well as a complimentary dinner at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant during the month of their birthday along with a complimentary dinner for the second adult member on the same account during that member's birthday month. For the fun of it, miniature golf at the Lodge is also free for members on Wednesdays.
Six informational Perks Club newsletters mailed each year play an additional part in the success of the program. "Our newsletters are packed full of special benefits, member-only promotions and reduced offers for lodging, dining and shopping. Our office can always tell when the newest edition of the newsletter has reached members' households. Our members are calling to make reservations for dinner and special events as well as reservations for lodging at reduced rates. We definitely know they are reading them," laughs Sommer.
"We are very proud of the success of our Perks Club" says Judy Zehnder Keller, owner and president of the Bavarian Inn Lodge. "Having a formal loyalty program has helped us find out who our best customers are and we have developed long-term, personal relationships with them."
Frankenmuth Iconic Wooden Covered Bridge to Close for Repairs
Bridge facts:
• Opened: January 1980
• Scheduled closure: intermittently March 16, 2015 to April 17, 2015
• Length: 239 feet; Width: 28 feet
(Roadway: 19 feet, Walkway: 4'6" on each side)
• Used 163,288 board feet of lumber
• Weight: 230 tons; Load capacity: 18 tons
• 4 million vehicle crossings to date
Frankenmuth, MI – March 12, 2015 – After 35 years of Michigan winters – and Michigan summers – and more than 4 million vehicle crossings, the Bavarian Inn's Covered Bridge (the Holz-Brücke in German) spanning the Cass River in Frankenmuth is having some work done.
Replacing the shingles and roadway planking will begin Monday, March 16, 2015 and last for about four weeks, depending on Michigan's unpredictable weather. The bridge will be closed to vehicles intermittently during that time (see below for closure schedule). Access to the Bavarian Inn Lodge, Bavarian Inn Restaurant, and Frankenmuth River Place Shops will be available from the Weiss Street entrance. Pedestrians will be able to cross the bridge using a walkway.
There will be a number of Bavarian-themed signs that will direct guests to the alternate entrance.
"Like any bridge or roadway in Michigan, time and weather have taken its toll on our wooden covered bridge," said Bill Zehnder, president of Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn, Inc. "Maintaining the bridge is a necessity for the safe passage of our guests and Frankenmuth visitors."
He added that the roof covers and protects the wooden bridge underneath, so the deterioration of the shingles exposes the structure to potential wear. The covered bridge was installed in January, 1980 after nearly two years of construction on the riverbank. New Hampshire craftsmen used structural framing timbers from Oregon – in some cases 32 feet long – and locally sourced and sawn 3-foot long shingles for the roof and 16-foot long 4x8s for the planked roadway.
The necessary repairs will be made by a Michigan team headed up by Tim Gilmour of Gilmour Construction in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Gilmour has a long history with wooden craft projects. The planking will be locally sourced and sawn by Dennis Miller from Lapeer Hardwoods in Lapeer, Michigan.
If Mother Nature cooperates, the bridge will hopefully reopen for both (gasoline-and horse-powered) vehicular traffic around Friday, April 17, 2015.
Bridge closure schedule
Monday March 16, 2015 to Friday April 3, 2015:
Closed Monday through Friday 7:30 am – 10:30 am only
April 6 – 10, 2015: No bridge construction
April 13 – 17, 2015:
One pedestrian walkway open at all times during repairs

Q: Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application Code: 1001 Please have a look at the below xaml in silverlight
<Grid>
        <ContentControl>
            <ContentControl.RenderTransform>
                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="50" ScaleY="50" />
            </ContentControl.RenderTransform>
            <Grid Height="400" Width="600">
              **//Here I have so many objects placed.**
            </Grid>
        </ContentControl>
</Grid>

Here I have used ScaleTransform ScaleX="50" ScaleY="50". The application gives the following error for the large value of ScaleX and ScaleY. Can anyone tell me why it is happening so in silverlight and how to get rid of this?
