Daclatasvir
An investigational NS5A inhibitor, daclatasvir[18,19] has a high potency for suppression of new viral replication and inhibition of virus release from infected cells.[20] Activity is present against all genotypes, especially genotypes 1, 2, and 3, with greater activity against genotype 1a than 1b. Lesser activity of daclatasvir is noted against genotypes 4 and 5.
Approximately 10% of this drug is excreted in the urine, and the remainder in the feces. When added to sofosbuvir, daclatasvir provides an antiviral effect, including a genetic barrier to the development of resistance associated variants.[21]
An open-label Japanese trial of daclatasvir plus asunaprevir for 24 weeks in patients with genotype 1b infection produced an SVR in 87% of interferon-ineligible or -intolerant patients and 81% of treatment-experienced patients.[22] When stratified by the presence or absence of cirrhosis, 91% of patients with cirrhosis and 84% of those without cirrhosis developed an SVR.
Similar results were also noted with this drug combination in a multicohort study (HALLMARK-DUAL),[23] with an SVR of 90% in treatment-naive patients, 82% in treatment-experienced patients, and 82% in interferon-ineligible or -intolerant patients.
Two recent studies of daclatasvir, asunaprevir, and beclabuvir have been reported in genotype 1-infected patients without cirrhosis and patients with compensated cirrhosis. The study of genotype 1-infected patients who lacked cirrhosis (73% with genotype 1a) resulted in an SVR at 12 weeks of 92% in treatment-naive patients and 89% in treatment-experienced patients.[24]
The trial (UNITY-2) of genotype 1-infected patients with compensated cirrhosis (74% with genotype 1a) produced an SVR of 93% in treatment-naive patients and 87% in treatment-experienced patients.[25] When ribavirin was added to daclatasvir, asunaprevir, and beclabuvir, SVR occurred in 98% of treatment-naive patients and in 93% of treatment-experienced patients.
In the ALLY-3 trial, the combination of daclatasvir and sofosbuvir produced an SVR of 90% in treatment-naive patients and 86% in treatment-experienced patients.[26] Gender, age, and HCV-RNA levels did not affect treatment outcome.
Daclatasvir is currently approved for use in Europe in combination with other antiviral agents for genotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and is available in Japan with asunaprevir for genotype 1b. The combination of daclatasvir and sofosbuvir was approved by the FDA in July 2015 for the treatment of genotype 3 HCV disease. Consideration for approval by the FDA of the combination of daclatasvir and asunaprevir has been withdrawn by the manufacturer.
Additional Agents
Grazoprevir/elbasvir is an investigational combination using the NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir and the NS5A inhibitor elbasvir, which have activity against multiple HCV genotypes coupled with the reduced risk for development of viral resistance variants.[27] The C-EDGE trial[28] evaluated patients with (22%) or without cirrhosis who had genotype 1 (328 patients), genotype 4 (26 patients), or genotype 6 (13 patients) infection. Genotype 1-infected patients were essentially equally divided between genotype 1a and 1b.
In the immediate-treatment group, SVR at 12 weeks occurred in 92% of patients with genotype 1a, 99% with genotype 1b, 100% with genotype 4, and 98% with genotype 6. An SVR of 100% was observed when baseline HCV RNA levels were 800,000 IU/mL or less, compared with 92% when levels were more than 800,000 IU/mL. The most common side effects of this combination included headache, fatigue, and nausea.
The PEARL-1 trial used ombitasvir and paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without weight-based ribavirin to treat genotype 4-infected patients without cirrhosis who were treatment-naive or treatment-experienced.[29] A 100% SVR was observed in both treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients when ribavirin was added. When the drug combination was used without ribavirin, the SVR was 91% in treatment-naive and 100% in treatment-experienced patients. Anemia occurred in the patients receiving ribavirin, and headache was a common side effect (occurring in 29%) but did not require discontinuation of the drug.
The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir with the use of ribavirin was approved by the FDA in July 2015 for the treatment of genotype 4 HCV infection.

It's Monday and that means Mosaics!
For Marys Mosaic Monday @the littleredhouse this week some shots of our gardens front and back!
Fragrant wisteria, pure white clematis and an old fashioned rose.
The front garden is blooming all over!
Click here or on the little red house button on the sidebar to see plenty more mosaics from around the world.
I'm curious about the three white ghosts standing in your garden. What can they be?
Your garden is looking wonderful - soon you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Your garden looks wonderful. Stunning mosaics. Just love the wisteria and wish to grow it. But it doesn't survive here. Have a nice week.
Oh my....your garden looks truly pretty. I love the old fashion rose! I can't wait to get out to my garden but the rain just won't stop here and everything is so wet. In the mean time....I'm glad you shared yours with us so we can dream of puttering in ours.
These are such glorious mosaics Maggie - you have such a delightful garden and the potager looks a picture of healthy things growing to be eaten!!!
I'm off home this Friday and really anxious to feel English soil under my feet - which will be clothed in boots I fear as the rains are expected in the Lake District our first week. Hopefully when we reach Devon for the second week, the sun will shine.
Just wrote Sarah and told her we three have to get together some day - it would be such fun. France, England, Texas, the Carolinas........surely we can find a place and all be there at the same time!!!!!
Your garden is so beautiful. The old fashioned rose is just amazing! How I would love to have wisteria in my yard!!
I have linked to Mosaic Monday as well this week. I like the look of your garden very much.

Home Meadow Lake Assault at CHS
Assault at CHS
by Derek Cornet
Meadow Lake RCMP have confirmed a recent attack at Carpenter High School is connected to a firearms complaint at a local residence.
The two incidents occurred Feb. 23 with the first unfolding at the school. According to Northwest School Division (NWSD) officials, two suspects entered the school at about 3:40 p.m. and struck a student before leaving. The incident has been described as a personal attack, with the two suspects identified as a student from another school and a non-student.
About 30 minutes later, police were called to a firearms complaint along 3rd Avenue West where it's believed a youth was assaulted and a handgun involved. The RCMP continue to search for 19-year-old Draysen Bigham and, Cpl. Ryan How added, officers have arrested one minor in connection to the incident and are in search of a second.
"What happened at the school certainly wasn't as serious as what happened after school," he remarked. "Our primary concern from a policing point of view is what happened after school. I understand how the two can be construed as directly connected – and they are – but the severity went way up after school."
While How didn't want to downplay the incident at the school, he noted situations in that nature are generally handled at the school level with little to no involvement with the RCMP. He added, there was no reason to believe a firearm was shown at the school and officials don't want parents and students to be frightened about what did happen.
Although NWSD director of education Duane Hauk didn't want to share much information because of the ongoing police investigation, he said a weapon was not used at the school. He noted assaults don't occur in the division often, but said fights or any other incidents are treated seriously.
"We want our schools to be as safe as possible," Hauk said. "We want to look after our students. This was after school hours. All our schools are continuously looking for ways to address the different situations that can happen."
The division has deemed staff at CHS followed all appropriate procedures. Also, they've concluded the school, staff and student body weren't threatened or targeted.

Understanding how successive earthquakes accrue on individual faults to produce kilometer-scale displacements, build landscapes and activate cascades of geomorphological processes is still poorly understood. While large-scale geodynamic processes like subduction and orogenesis can be considered continuous over geological timescales (100 ka to Ma), they mostly operate discretely over shorter timescales (< 100 ka). Apparent quiescence is transiently interrupted by pulses of localised tectonic and geomorphic activity, which repeatedly interact and shape the landscape. Long-term permanent crustal deformation forms landscapes, yet geodesy primarily records short-term elastic strain. In this context, the surface expression on individual faults or active margins contains valuable information on both the endogenous and the exogenous processes at work, the complexity of which may be studied in long-term features (e.g. landscape evolution, mountain building, basin formation) as well as short-term data (e.g. geodetic monitoring, paleoseismology).
The scope of this session is to bring together state-of-the-art research efforts to better understand how the short-term rate variability that is often recorded on the Earth's surface integrates to produce uniform large-scale active tectonic processes (i.e. subduction, collision, rifting, transform faulting). We welcome contributions combining observations and analogue & numerical modelling. We would also particularly value studies that bridge deformational processes operating over different spatial and temporal scales.

Q: Creating PDF from UIScrollView in iphone app I am creating pdf from UIView to pdf it works fine but i have scrollView with content which i want to convert to pdf but it only show visible part in pdf not the whole scrollView content. here is my code
-(void)createPDFfromUIView:(UIView*)aView saveToDocumentsWithFileName:(NSString*)aFilename
 {
    NSMutableData *pdfData = [NSMutableData data];

    // Get Scrollview size
    CGRect scrollSize = CGRectMake(1018,76,scrollView.contentSize.width,scrollView.contentSize.height);

    // Points the pdf converter to the mutable data object and to the UIView to be converted
    UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, scrollSize, nil);
    UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
    CGContextRef pdfContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // draws rect to the view and thus this is captured by UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData

    [aView.layer renderInContext:pdfContext];

    // remove PDF rendering context
    UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();

    // Retrieves the document directories from the iOS device
    NSArray* documentDirectories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);

    NSString* documentDirectory = [documentDirectories objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString* documentDirectoryFilename = [documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:aFilename];

    // instructs the mutable data object to write its context to a file on disk
    [pdfData writeToFile:documentDirectoryFilename atomically:YES];
    NSLog(@"documentDirectoryFileName: %@",documentDirectoryFilename);
}

A: THis gives you the visible portion of the UIScrollView
CGRect visibleRect;
visibleRect.origin = scrollView.contentOffset;
visibleRect.size = scrollView.bounds.size;

float theScale = 1.0 / scale;
visibleRect.origin.x *= theScale;
visibleRect.origin.y *= theScale;
visibleRect.size.width *= theScale;
visibleRect.size.height *= theScale;

so you can use this in UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, aView.bounds, nil);
by some minor changes in the parameters.

A: (void)createPDFfromUIView:(UIScrollView*)aView saveToDocumentsWithFileName:(NSString*)aFilename
{
    // Creates a mutable data object for updating with binary data, like a byte array
    NSMutableData *pdfData = [NSMutableData data];

    // Get Scrollview size
    CGRect scrollSize = CGRectMake(aView.origin.x,aView.origin.y,aView.contentSize.width,aView.contentSize.height);

    // Points the pdf converter to the mutable data object and to the UIView to be converted
    UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, scrollSize, nil);
    UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
    CGContextRef pdfContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // draws rect to the view and thus this is captured by UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData

    [aView.layer renderInContext:pdfContext];

    // remove PDF rendering context
    UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();

    // Retrieves the document directories from the iOS device
    NSArray* documentDirectories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);

    NSString* documentDirectory = [documentDirectories objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString* documentDirectoryFilename = [documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:aFilename];

    // instructs the mutable data object to write its context to a file on disk
    [pdfData writeToFile:documentDirectoryFilename atomically:YES];
    NSLog(@"documentDirectoryFileName: %@",documentDirectoryFilename);
}

A: This code i used to make pdf from uiscrollview and it does help but it will not be as good as if we draw on pdf -- please have look -- Pdf from UIScrollView
- (void) createPDF
{
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *directroyPath = nil;
    directroyPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"temp"];
    NSString *filePath = [directroyPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"test.pdf"];
    // check for the "PDF" directory
    NSError *error;
    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath]) {

    } else {
        [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:directroyPath
                                  withIntermediateDirectories:NO
                                                   attributes:nil
                                                        error:&error];
    }

    CGContextRef pdfContext = [self createPDFContext:_scrollView2.bounds path:(CFStringRef)filePath];
    NSLog(@"PDF Context created");

    /*
     Here limit of i is no of pages in your uiscrollview or
     you can use hit and trial here because there is a
     length of page is going to be equal to
     the visible size of uiscrollView in your application
   */

    for (int i = 0 ; i< 2 ; i++)
    {

        // page 1
        CGContextBeginPage (pdfContext,nil);

        //turn PDF upsidedown
        CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;

       //here 365 is equal to the height of myScrollView.frame.size.height

        transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, (i+1) * 365);
        transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, 1.0, -1.0);
        CGContextConcatCTM(pdfContext, transform);

        //Draw view into PDF
        [_scrollView2.layer renderInContext:pdfContext];
        CGContextEndPage (pdfContext);
        [_scrollView2 setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, (i+1) * 365) animated:NO];

    }
    CGContextRelease (pdfContext);
}

- (CGContextRef) createPDFContext:(CGRect)inMediaBox path:(CFStringRef) path
{
    CGContextRef myOutContext = NULL;
    CFURLRef url;
    url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath (NULL, path,
                                         kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle,
                                         false);

    if (url != NULL) {
        myOutContext = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL (url,
                                                  &inMediaBox,
                                                  NULL);
        CFRelease(url);
    }
    return myOutContext;
}

A: The easiest way to convert the scrollview content into a PDF file is to have a content view as the first subview of the scrollview and using that view to take a snapshot of the scrollview. The code in Swift would look like this:
func generatePDFdata(withView view: UIView) -> NSData {

  let pageDimensions = view.bounds
  let outputData = NSMutableData()

  UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(outputData, pageDimensions, nil)
  if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() {
      UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()
      view.layer.render(in: context)
  }
  UIGraphicsEndPDFContext()

  return outputData
}

You can then use the outputData to write into a PDF file:
outputData.write(to: pdfFileUrl, atomically: true)

Your yard needs varying nutrients at certain times of the season. Its needs at the very end of the summer and into the fall are very different than the spring season.
Toward the end of the season, the cool-season grasses in Colorado and Michigan need some targeted fertilizing. This is because at this time of year, they begin to build up their reserves for a long sleep. Nitrogen and potassium are essential during this time. Our Greenskeeper Plus Complete Care Program takes the guesswork out of the different needs your lawn has throughout the year; we take care of it all for you!
Whether you are relying on the recommendation of the experts at Fit Turf, or have your own special routine or mixture, getting your yard ready for winter and maintaining it throughout the cold winter season is not for the faint of heart.
Although both Colorado and Michigan are known for their bountiful snowfalls, snowfall shortages and drought can occur in the winter months. The air is dry during the winter months, which can cause plants and yards to become damaged. When no snowfall can be seen and the weather is unseasonably warm, it may be necessary to water your yard during the winter months to avoid root damage. If watering is needed, make sure it is done when the air temperature is above 40 degrees and only when the soil is not frozen. Watering mid-day allows the water to soak into the ground and avoids freezing.
Native grasses and plants are the best choices to ward off seasonal, winter damage. These plants also require less care and special TLC than many other non-native grasses and plants. When planting your grass and planning your landscaping, take into account your region's native plants. These native plants have thrived in their respective regions for a reason and require little care throughout even low-moisture winters.
A note about what not to put on your lawn: piles and piles of snow! Snow mold is a real concern for Colorado and Michigan lawns, and occurs when snow has been piled up on lawns — most often on the north side of driveways and buildings. Take care to remove heavy piles of snow on the north side of your yard to avoid this phenomenon. The appropriate application of fertilizer in September through November (depending on your region) can also prevent snow mold as well.

Rare Element Resources Advances Proprietary Separation Technology as Market Seeks New Sources of Critical Rare Earths
June 13, 2019 – Littleton, Colorado – Rare Element Resources Ltd. ("RER" or the "Company") (OTCQB: REEMF) is pleased to announce additional significant progress on the previously announced third-party pilot scale testwork relating to its proprietary rare earth separation technology. This work is being conducted by Umwelt-und Ingenieurtechnik GmbH Dresden ("UIT"), an affiliate of Synchron, a significant shareholder of the Company. RER engaged UIT to conduct a pilot plant campaign in February 2019 to verify, at pilot plant scale, all process steps from the hydrometallurgical process already validated to the final separation of Nd/Pr oxide.
UIT is currently operating a large-scale hydrometallurgical pilot plant in Germany. Preliminary results, using RER's proprietary technology, indicate the successful extraction of Nd/Pr and other rare earth elements, contained in a high-purity rare earth oxide (REO). UIT will continue to operate the pilot plant to produce REO from ore obtained at the Company's Bear Lodge Project in Wyoming. Once sufficient REO is produced, UIT will begin the separation test phase, scheduled for the third quarter of 2019. The separation pilot plant test will utilize the Company's enhanced proprietary technology to produce several products- a high-purity neodymium/praseodymium (Nd/Pr) oxide, lanthanum (La) oxide, and a mixed mid-and heavy rare earth concentrate. The enhanced process, if successful, is expected to significantly reduce process steps and operating costs as well as further reduce environmental impacts and associated costs.
The testwork is progressing at a time when sources of rare earths outside of China are considered critical as illustrated by the current trade issues between the United States and China. Reported Nd/Pr prices have risen more than 35% in the past few months due to the escalating trade restrictions.
Randall J. Scott, President and CEO of RER stated, "Worldwide recognition of the critical nature of rare earths, including the products that will be produced from the rare earth minerals at our Bear Lodge Project in Wyoming, continues to intensify. We now have significant additional third-party confirmation and optimization of our proprietary technology for the separation and production of market-ready Nd/Pr oxide. Bear Lodge is one of the highest-grade Nd/Pr rare earth resources in the world. Current market demand for non-Chinese sources of the key Nd/Pr product needed for permanent magnets, especially for defense systems, electric vehicles and electronics, makes the timing of the project even more important. Input from members of Congress and federal agencies have revealed a high level of interest in the Bear Lodge project, particularly due to our more sustainable technology and the inclusion of magnet elements in our ore."
Environmental baseline studies, updated in 2018, and the proprietary processing and separation technology confirmation, support the continuation of permitting and licensing for the Bear Lodge Project. Given the critical nature of rare earth materials, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced on June 6, 2019 new streamlined permitting initiatives for critical minerals projects, like Bear Lodge, which should accelerate the permitting timeline.
Synchron and its affiliated General Atomics companies are a privately held group of companies engaged in advanced research, technology, products and systems for the energy and defense sectors.
Rare Element Resources Ltd. is a publicly traded, strategic materials company focused on delivering rare earth products for technology, energy and defense applications by advancing the Bear Lodge Critical Rare Earth Project in northeast Wyoming. Bear Lodge is a significant mineralized district containing many of the less common, more valuable, critical rare earths that are essential for high-strength permanent magnets, electronics, fiber optics, laser systems for health and defense, as well as many evolving technologies like electric vehicles, solar panels and wind turbines.

A mob on Tuesday disrupted the last rites of a Covid-19 victim and forced his family members to flee with the half-burnt body in Jammu, prompting intervention by the administration which later ensured the cremation at another place as per protocol.
A 72-year-old man, hailing from Doda district, became the fourth victim of coronavirus to die in Jammu region. He breathed his last at the Government Medical College (GMC) hospital on Monday.
"We had set out for the funeral along with a revenue official and a medical team, and had lit the pyre at a cremation ground in Domana area when a large group of local residents appeared at the scene and disrupted the last rites," son of the deceased said.
Only close relatives of the deceased, including his wife and two sons, were present during the cremation. They had to flee with the half-burnt body in an ambulance to save their skin from the mob which pelted stones and attacked them with sticks.
"We had sought permission from the government to take the body to our home district for the last rites, but we were told that all necessary arrangements were in place, and that we would not face any trouble during the cremation," the victim's son said.
He also alleged that the security officials present at the scene were of no help.
Two policemen who were present there failed to act against the unruly crowd, while the accompanying revenue official went missing, he said.
"The ambulance driver and other staff from the hospital helped us a lot and managed to take us back to the GMC hospital with the body… the government should have come out with a better plan to conduct the last rites of coronavirus victims, taking into consideration the past experience and problems encountered during the funeral of such victims," the victim's son said.
Later, the body was taken to a cremation ground at Bhagwati Nagar area of the city, where it was consigned to flames in the afternoon in presence of senior civil officials, including additional deputy commissioner and sub-divisional magistrate under tight security.
"My uncle was admitted in the hospital last week and died on Monday afternoon. He was suffering from various ailments, especially lungs and heart diseases. Before shifting him to GMC hospital Jammu, he underwent a coronavirus test in Doda which came negative," nephew of the deceased said.
However, he said, the victim's second test after his admission in the GMC hospital came positive on Sunday.

While this is a good thing because you will have plenty of options to choose from, it can also make things a little confusing. But, picking the perfect machine for you should not take a lot of effort as you only need to consider the following important things when shopping.
When buying any type of coffee maker including the latte machines, you will first need to decide on the type to get as they come in several types.
For latte machines, you often need to choose between semi-automatic and super-automatic machines. While both can make great brews, they will be suitable for different users and situations.
For the coffee lovers confident with their barista skills or want to save money when buying a latte machine, a semi-automatic latte machine will be perfect.
With a semi-automatic machine, you get more control over the entire latte making process, and you can easily tweak the brew to get a new experience for every cup of latte you make.
If you are a die-hard latte lover or simply do not mind spending more cash on a latte machine, the super automatic latte machines are your best pick.
These coffee makers are designed to do everything for you starting with tamping the coffee and finishing with the micro-foaming and steaming of the milk.
Most super automatic latte machines will even allow you to tweak the settings to make minor alterations to your lattes.
When using them you can be confident that every time you push the button you will end up with exactly the same brew quality and taste. Besides the flavor and texture consistency, super automatic latte machines are also the fastest.
The water tank capacity will determine the number of lattes you can make before you need to refill the water reservoir.
If you live alone and are a light coffee drinker that only takes one or a couple of cups every day, water tank capacity might not be important for you because even a small tank will still last long enough.
But, if you need to make lots of lattes every day, a larger water tank will be more ideal as it will reduce the frequency of refilling.
Also, a water tank that is removable will be a great plus as it will make refilling and clean up quicker and easier for you.
The size of counter space that you have and the space you are ready to dedicate to the latte machine also matters a lot as it affects the convenience of the machine.
If you live in a typical modern house or apartment where counter space is always at a premium, a huge latte machine will not work well for you regardless of how good and feature-rich it might be.
A large machine will come in your way when you have limited space, and the chances are that you will end up confining it to the pantry and not use it as much as you would want.
Always check the dimensions of the latte machine, its design and weight to determine whether it will be ideal for the space that you have.
Ease of use is an important factor that you should keep in mind when shopping for a latte machine. And this is more so if you are a beginner.
You do not want to end up with a machine that has an array of knobs, buttons or levers that you are not sure what they are meant for as you will have a hard time making your cup of latte.
A machine with some straightforward controls and detailed instructions on what to do and what everything is used for will be your best choice.
Also, keep in mind the fact that the ease of setup and cleaning the machine will also affect its ease of use.
When buying a latte machine, you will need to decide on how much you are willing to spend on it because they are available in different price ranges.
You can get a latte machine for under $100, but the top-notch quality and feature-rich high-end models will retail for hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
The complexity and versatility of the machine are some of the key determinants of the price, but with the many models out there, you should not have a lot of trouble finding a good one within your budget.
With a latte machine at home, you will never have to spend a lot of cash buying lattes from your favorite café or wait in line for several minutes to get your daily caffeine fix as you can make a fresh cup from the comfort of your home.
But, like with all other kinds of coffee makers, you need to choose the best latte machine from the many options out there for rich, flavorful and creamy brews.
However, all it takes to get a good latte machine is to understand the different types available and consider important factors like tank capacity, budget, and ease of use.
And whether you are buying one for use at home or a gift for someone, you can be sure of finding an ideal model from our top 10 latte machine reviews above.


It's "All Change" as Autumn slowly rolls around and as the winds get stronger and the air gets drier, we're all starting to pull out our oils and butters in a bid to combat the harsh weather changes. I'm normally obsessed with my shea butter products however of late, I've been trying out various natural skincare products to change up my routine a little bit. I normally stick to using three different body moisturisers a day; an oil based one in the morning and a thicker, more intense cream in the evening. On the days where I like to have a bit of a pamper, I'll use something a bit more luxe. In this case, we have good old fashioned almond oil, Lavera honey body lotion and Kiehl's Creme de Corps soy milk and honey whipped body butter.
I love using sweet almond oil during the winter as it is extremely nourishing to the skin, leaving it very soft and moisturised. What I like about almond oil in particular is that it absorbs beautifully into the skin, leaving no oily residue and is great for use during the day as it lock in moisture, leaving one ash-free the whole day. I sometimes use a capful in the bubble bath too if I can't be bothered to moisturise after bathing as it manages to lock in and moisturise my body while in the bath. Almond oil is also very good for hair too so it's a great product to have lying around at home!
Lavera* is a German natural skincare brand I have recently come across who specialize in using all natural ingredients that are silicone, sulfate and mineral free and come in a huge range of yummy products that cater to thirsty skin.
Finally we have the ever popular Creme de Corps soy milk and honey whipped body butter, which I use mostly on my pamper days (for the price I paid, I intend for this stuff to last!). With ingredients such as jojoba oil and shea butter as well as soy milk, the body butter is exceptionally light and fluffy with use, with me only having to use a tiny bit to cover vast areas of the body, like my thighs *sigh*. It gives off a lovely glowy finish with use and I particularly like to use this in the evening to allow the product to sink into my skin overnight, leaving it feeling lovely and soft in the morning.
What are your favourite Autumn/Winter body moisturisers?

Traveling east on U.S. Route 322, near the Pennsylvania border is the small town of Wayne, OH. Wayne is the home of the Ashtabula County Antique Engine Club. This club is the home of a preserved early 20th century gas station.
Old time gas station in Wayne, OH.
The station has a collection of old gas pumps, tires, oil cans, and during festivals there, antique cars sit in the station as well. It's a real look back at the history of automobile travel in our country during the last century. One of the most astounding things, particularly for the younger crowd is the price on the pump for a gallon of gasoline.
The price on the pump?
17.9 cents per gallon! Wouldn't we like to see those days again! I won't hold my breath.
I've been here several times and enjoy the nostalgia of looking back at the days of my childhood and even further back. During the yearly shows at this club they also feature steam engines of many types and sizes.
Shortly after shooting the gas station I came across this elderly gentleman, possibly reflecting on his past.
It's one of my favorite photos conveying a sense of slower times in our history.

Great shots, Kolman! Easy to see why 'Reflecting on the past' is a favorite.
Did you ask why gas is sold at something point nine cents a gallon?
I guess it's because if it's 17 and nine tenths, that sounds a lot less than 18. Is there another reason?
You're welcome Carole. Sometimes it's nice to look back to simpler times!

Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.
The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. No luck. The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince whomever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I had to have a job. Still no luck.
The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel.
That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel.
When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money–fully half of what I averaged every night.
One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires. Had angels taken up residence in Indiana?
On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel. These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe. A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine. The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up.
It was still dark and I couldn't see much, but there appeared to be some dark shadows in the car-or was that just a trick of the night? Something certainly looked different, but it was hard to tell what.
When I reached the car I peered warily into one of the side windows. Then my jaw dropped in amazement. My old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes. I quickly opened the driver's side door, scrambled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat.
Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. Inside was whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes: There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes. There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was a whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items. And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll.
As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning. Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.

No Other Name
Robert Beatty
Publisher: AuthorHouse Pages: 974 Price: (paperback) $32.99 ISBN: 9781728343099 Reviewed: July, 2021 Author Website: Visit »
Robert Beatty's, No Other Name, is a sweeping and tragic historical romance novel.
The story centers on Samuel, a farm boy who, on the night of his high school graduation dance, is convinced by his best friend Ben that they should celebrate by losing their virginity at the local whorehouse.
There, he meets "Clarinda," a beautiful, captivating new prostitute who is about his own age. "Clarinda" refuses to tell Samuel the name she was born with, insisting that he call her whatever he wishes. Despite not knowing her name, Samuel is sure, after one night of passion, that she's meant to be his wife. But a tragedy occurs, and Samuel ends up fleeing town and eventually joining the military.
The sweeping saga follows Samuel through more than 30 years of history, up through his fighting in both WWI and WWII. The novel's first third is about Samuel and Clarinda's relationship and the impact her tragedy has on his life. The remaining two thirds covers the rest of his life, including what happens once he joins the Marines.
Beatty creates vivid characters, and his prose is active enough to propel readers forward. Also, the historical perspective seems well researched.
Unfortunately, often the omniscient narrator takes readers out of the novel's time period by offering modern observations; for example, when noting that Samuel's beliefs about sexually transmitted disease treatments are wrong, the author writes: "Actually, he was somewhat wrong on the point about there being no treatment for venereal disease in that period." The narrator also mentions Bruce Springsteen and The Who lyrics and describes things as being of "that time period."
Beatty compounds the story's problems by including long discussions of history from each time-period, from 1910 through WWII. While the asides are often interesting—who knew, for example, that mercury was a palliative treatment for STDs?—they distract from the main story.
Additionally, the dialogue is weighted with characters talking in long-winded paragraphs, and Beatty gives away the entire, tragic synopsis of the book in the first chapter.
The biggest problem with the book, however, is its heft. At almost 1,000 pages, the length will intimidate many readers. For the story to reach a wide audience, it requires trimming; shorter, snappier dialogue; fewer historical asides, and a narrative that stays true to its time-period.

Scleroderma (Bull.) Pers. (1801), è un genere di funghi basidiomiceti della famiglia Sclerodermataceae. Non sono commestibili.

Si trovano in tutto il mondo. Varie specie di questo genere sono ectomicorriziche e sono utilizzati come simbionti di inoculazione per colonizzare e promuovere la crescita di piantine arboree nei vivai.

Etimologia
Dal greco skleròs = duro e derma = pelle, cioè dalla pelle dura.

Descrizione
Il peridio (parete esterna), che può essere liscio o verrucoso, è molto spesso e rigido. A maturità si divide irregolarmente sulla parte superiore del basidiocarpo per rivelare la gleba scura sottostante.

Le spore sono prodotte in piccoli corpi bruno-violacei simili a piselli chiamati peridioli che inizialmente sono delineati da aggregazioni simili a pareti di ife bianche. Questi peridioli si disintegrano man mano che il corpo del frutto matura e quando il peridio si apre, è visibile solo una massa polverosa di spore scure. Le spore sono di forma approssimativamente sferica con verruche o ornamenti reticolati, con pareti spesse e marroni.

Ancient Future is a large musical family of world fusion music ensembles led by scalloped fretboard guitarist Matthew Montfort. The group is dedicated to music termed by Matthew as "world fusion music". To date, Ancient Future is the world's first and longest running band dedicated to the creation of world fusion music, which blends musical ideas from many different cultures. The music is described as being "contemporary sounds of jazz and rock with the irresistible rhythms of African, Balinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and South American percussion, the rich harmonies of Europe, and the beautiful melodies of Asia".
Their music is "an exhilarating fusion of exciting rhythms and exotic sounds from around the globe". It is worth noting that all of the members of Ancient Future have studied with or performed professionally with "master musicians of many world music traditions, from Balinese gamelan director Made Gerindem to North Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan". Ancient Future is credited with having created "a musical world without borders".
*Ancient Future was formed in late 1978 by students at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California, including Mindia Klein, Matthew Montfort, Benjy Wertheimer, and Phil Fong. Its origins, however, go back to 1967. Two of the founding members, Matthew Montfort and Benjy Wertheimer, were childhood friends in Boulder, Colorado, who dreamed of forming a band together. By his senior year of high school, Montfort was playing guitar professionally in several local bands. Meanwhile, Wertheimer had gravitated to percussion and Indian tabla drums in particular. A friend of Wertheimer's introduced Montfort to a record by the Diga Rhythm Band, which featured North Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain and his students along with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and guitarist Jerry Garcia. Montfort was fascinated by Indian rhythms, and decided to integrate them into his jazz/rock/classical fusion music.
The name Ancient Future grew out of two contradictory themes. "Sarodist Phil Fong was very interested in the legendary ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Mu, and liked to imagine what the music of Mu might have been like. Fong envisioned a band name invoking an image of the ancient civilizations where the world's great musical traditions were born. But the group also wanted its name to express a vision of hope for the future through the cross-cultural exchange of that ancient knowledge. Thus the name Ancient Future was born". When Ancient Future created its own contemporary sound by combining elements of the world's ancient music traditions, no one quite knew what to call the end result. In 1978, Ancient Future leader Matthew Montfort coined the term world fusion music to describe the process of blending musical ideas from many different traditions.
Composed by scalloped fretboard guitar innovator Matthew Montfort, Yearning for the Wind? is a poignant piece based on Rag Kalyan, an evening raga that corresponds to the Lydian mode. The composition also incorporates harmony and other guitaristic elements. ?A duet with Indian tabla virtuoso Vishal Nagar, who is considered one of the most gifted tabla players of his generation, Yearning for the Wind is set in matta tal, a nine beat rhythmic cycle. As a bridge between the slow and fast sections of the piece, Vishal Nagar performs an elegant tabla solo over the soft nine beat groove that slowly builds up to a vibrant rela (a fast tabla composition characterized by rapid drum rolls).
Ancient Future's music and the re-release of the "Planet Passion" CD.
DCB: Matthew, you have been a part of the evolution of Ancient Future from the first day. From your perspective, how have you seen the world of music influenced by the music the ensemble continues to create?
AF: I think that the idea of studying music from all over the world in order to expand one's musical skills has become more commonplace. We do hear from musicians who have been influenced by Ancient Future, but I think my biggest impact to the world of music has actually been through musicians who have utilized the rhythm training manual I wrote: "Ancient Traditions--Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali, and India." The exercises in the book have helped a lot of musicians expand their musicianship, and that has had a direct impact on their music. There have been a number of famous musicians who have been through the training, such as jazz drummer Steve Smith who used it to get ready to perform with tabla master Zakir Hussian. He told me it was his door to the world of Indian rhythms, and since going through the training he has collaborated with many of the top percussionists in India.
DCB: Have the advancements in technology improved on the ability of the group to share the levels and nuances of sound you can create?
AF: Technology has both helped and harmed our movement. On the one hand, the Internet makes international communication between musicians a lot easier. On the other, file sharing and piracy have hurt the music business badly, which has decreased financial support for music. It is wonderful to have computer technology at home and we certainly utilize that to its full capabilities. But we've lost something there as well. When the record labels were able to pay for a band to rehearse and then go to a professional recording studio to make a recording, it was quicker to make a recording and everyone could perform live, which is something missing from a lot of recordings made today. The artist didn't have to spend so much time on the technical side of things, which often made for more inspired music.
DCB: What is the next musical destination? What projects are in the works?
AF: The next project is a subscription recording series with work starting this year. A great record needs focused periods where everyone involved can work exclusively on the music. If a band rehearses and records live, most of the man hours necessary for a great ensemble recording recording happen simultaneously, which greatly shortens the elapsed time it takes to record. However, for a group of virtuoso level musicians to to be able to block out enough time for rehearsing and then recording live, a rather substantial sum of money needs to be raised in advance. To fund Ancient Future's next recording, a subscription system model is being employed. It is a bit like making a "people's label" to fund the recording.
Work files for the project will be posted for supporters as they are being created. Even before new recordings are made, supporters will have access to files from the Ancient Future archives of live concerts and radio performances that are not currently available commercially. They will help serve as examples of possible directions the recording could take.
We also have a live concert in post production that hope to release on DVD and CD.
Re-issued to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first Ancient Future concert (Feb. 11, 1979, ), the seventh Ancient Future recording, "Planet Passion," features 19 top masters of world music traditions performing music about flirtation, courtship, gods of love, betrothal, seduction, and longing for the beloved.
Ancient Future is a large musical family including Matthew Montfort (producer, bandleader, scalloped fretboard guitar, electric guitar, flamenco guitar, bass, gangsa), Irina Mikhailova (Eastern European vocals), Emam (North Indian tabla), Moses Sedler (cello), Liu Qi-Chao (Chinese flute), Antoine Lammam (Arabic tabla), Ian Herman (South African drum set), Ustad Habib Khan (North Indian sitar), Georges Lammam (Arabic violin), Patti Weiss (violin), Manose Singh (Nepalese flutes), C.K. Ladzekpo (West African drums), Pedro de Jesus (Afro-Cuban drums, chant), Doug McKeehan (keyboards), Mindia Devi (bansuri), Benjy Wertheimer (North Indian tabla, esraj), Ian Dogole (world percussion), Hadley Louden (bass marimba), and Jim Hurley (violin).
From this palette of musicians, "Planet Passion" features a different band on each track, one of which even includes Ancient Future's original line-up. BILLBOARD calls the group "trendsetters" for contributing to the emerging genre known as "world fusion music," a term Ancient Future coined at its inception in 1978 for music that blends musical ideas from many different cultures..
1Ancient Future is the world's first and longest running band dedicated exclusively to the creation of world fusion music. Their music is an exhilarating fusion of exciting rhythms and sounds from around the globe that combines contemporary jazz and rock with the irresistible rhythms of African, Balinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and South American percussion, the rich harmonies of Europe, and the beautiful melodies of Asia. Over the years, the American members of Ancient Future have looked beyond their roots for inspiration by studying with the master musicians of many world music traditions, from Balinese gamelan director Made Gerindem to North Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan. They use their knowledge of world music to create something new and uniquely their own that is respected by pundits from the cultures whose traditions are a part of the mix. According to INDIA CURRENTS, Ancient Future "plays with technical brilliance and gypsy-like fire," and their music "demonstrates the continuing beneficial influence of Indian music upon world culture."
Ancient Future has expanded its musical vision through collaborations with traditional musicians from around the world who are now an integral part of what is today more than just a band. Ancient Future has grown to become a large chamber ensemble of world music masters with many smaller ensembles within it, enabling Ancient Future to realize its core mission of creating world fusion music. Through cross cultural exchange, Ancient Future has created a musical world without borders.

Aesthetic and design conventions significantly differentiate the noise-canceling headphones by Bose and Monster; the two respective manufacturers also heavily cultivate it. Both headphones sport a matte black finish and thick, cushioned headband. Monster tags a red accent on the outside of the Beats By Dre 'Studio' earcups that give it a darker, hipper look, while the Bose QC15's lean more towards a business-class chic, marked by Bose's brushed silver earcups.

The new 800 engine offers increased power, torque and riding dynamics for the naked MV Agusta. The new adjustable suspension and the new advanced electronics package makes the Brutale 800 leader in its segment. Graphics and special colors accentuate the unmistakably lines of MV Agusta.
Brutale three-cylinder means handling, extreme agility, and absolute ease of use. Now with the new engine power and torque comparable to a 1,000cc, and with a weight of only 167 kg, the 800 Brutale offers an unique power to weight ratio. Aside from the new engine, the Brutale 800 offers a new adjustable suspension allowing the riders complete personalization.
A dependable advanced electronics package unique within this category: MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System), the integrated management system of the vehicle, includes the first Full Ride by Wire with multi-map and integrated traction control. Offering optimized delivery at all engine speeds, maximum engine efficiency in terms of fuel consumption, and of course the opportunity to select different engine characteristics, choosing from the four available maps: three pre-sets, one personalized. Traction control also ensures safety and performance on any road or track surface, allowing the driver to concentrate entirely on riding. The three-cylinder engine, which debuted on the supersport F3 675, forms the basis for the technological progress in its class, thanks to exclusive technical solutions such as the counter-rotating crankshaft, used in MotoGP, but never before seen on a production bike. The frame performance is guaranteed, thanks to MV Agusta' s unique mixed structure: the front section of steel tube trellis combined with two light aluminum alloy plates, and a sculpted single-arm rear suspension.
MV Agusta Brutale 800 is distinctive at first glance. A perfect combination of aesthetics, functionality, design and ergonomics. Form and substance. Unique in its kind, this three-cylinder is aligned with the standards of excellence of the Brutale 675, yet remains distinctive with new graphics and further detail enhancements. The overall compactness is visually impressive, with the mechanical components dominating; the three-cylinder engine is almost completely exposed to view, embraced by the distinctive frame and compact exhaust system. The silencer is modeled in such a way as to ensure maximum capacity and efficiency while remaining perfectly integrated. The tailpiece is essential yet elegant. Even the headlight characterizes the design, by combining the original elements and stylistic features of the Brutale range. The distinctive three element exhaust pipe remains another key visual component of MV Agusta Brutale.
The new three-cylinder engine 800 has a stroke of 54.3 mm and delivers power and torque of 125 hp at 11,600 revs / min limiter at 13,000 rpm. The maximum torque is also significant touching 81 NM at 8600 rpm. The power and torque curves are strengthened and increased ensuring prompt throttle response and a generous delivery across the entire rev range. This level of performance, associated with a dry weight of 167 kg, put the Brutale 800 at the top of the category "naked" setting the new benchmark.
With F3 675 and Brutale 675 the new Brutale 800 shares most of the components and fundamental technical choices: first, the counter-rotating crankshaft, previously used only in MotoGP, is able to offer the best balance while driving, reducing inertia when changing direction and thus increasing the maneuverability of the vehicle. The shell molded crankcase employs a "closed deck" with integrated bores and features integrated circuits for both oil and water, with internal pump unit location. This reduces component numbers and offers visual cleanliness to the engine exterior. The final transmission ratio is increased, by virtue of superior performance and through the mounting of a sprocket with two teeth less.
Brutale 675 boasts the most advanced electronic management within its category. In its succession the Brutale 800 also excels by applying advanced race technology to mass production. The system MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) ensures the integrated control of the vehicle and the engine: This allows combining management of the three cylinders with the traction control, to achieve high performance with safety. Technological innovation is epitomized by the use of Full Ride By Wire. The electronic control of the throttle body, which together with the mapping for injection and ignition, optimizes the air-fuel mixture at all engine speeds of delivery, maximizing available power and torque as a function on request from the rider. Compared to the traditional mechanical throttle, the Full Ride-By-Wire allows you to untie completely the rotation of the accelerator and throttle openings, leaving the task to electronics to achieve the optimum solution offering improved efficiency and a response exceeding the expectations of the rider. Brutale 800 system uses a multi-map, with three preset modes and one fully customizable so you can choose the most appropriate delivery to meet specific conditions. The integration of MVICS includes traction control on eight levels, adjustable in seconds and visible on the digital dashboard intervening throttle, ignition advance and injection.
Handling, traction, ease of use and performance: The objectives of the project were achieved by focusing on the chassis with a mixed structure. An unmistakable trademark of MV Agusta, consisting of the front section steel tube trellis and two aluminum alloy plates, fulcrum point for the long single-sided swingarm, designed to ensure the most efficient transmission of power to the asphalt.
Improved performance through increased levels of control and variability: The MV Agusta Brutale 800 is fitted with an upside down fork and shock absorber with customizable hydraulic response. The upside down fork 43 mm in diameter is characterized by excellent fluidity, with an excursion of 125 mm, and is adjustable in compression, rebound and spring preload. The rear shock absorber provides 119 mm stroke, adjustable in compression, rebound and spring preload. Brutale 800, therefore, adds to the versatility of the Brutale 675 with increased suspension regulation that further enhances riding dynamics.
Brutale 800 offers a braking system of the highest quality utilizing a pair of front 320 mm diameter discs, with Brembo four-piston (32 mm diameter) radial calipers and also at the rear a high performance twin-piston (34 mm diameter) Brembo caliper, matched to a 220 mm disc.
Max. Horse Power-R.P.M. (at the crankshaft): 92 kW (125 hp) at 11600 r.p.m.
Max. Torque-R.P.M.: 81 Nm (8.25 kgm) at 8600 r.p.m.
Front: Material/Size: Aluminum alloy 3.50 in. x 17 in.
Rear: Material/Size: Aluminum alloy 5.50 in. x 17 in.


Why do Americans work so much?
Americans work 137 more hours per year than Japanese workers, 260 more hours per year than British workers, and 499 more hours per year than French workers.
The US is the only industrialized nation to lack a guaranteed parental leave option.
To say we are workaholics does not go far enough.
But it's clear that this has negative consequences. The issues are stark in some industries, for example trucking. The US Department of Transportation recently enacted regulations requiring that truck drivers to take at least 34 hours off after working 60 hours in seven consecutive days or 70 hours in eight days. The rules also require truck drivers to take a 30 minute rest after 11 hours of driving. It's obvious that these lengths of driving are too long, and are certainly linked to the high levels of trucks involved in crashes, which have gone up steadily over the past five years — fatalities rose 18% since 2009.
My point is not about trucking policies, which are insane, however. I am using that as just a backdrop to the more general insanity associated with number of hours of work that have come to be the norm in the US.
It's true that those that feel good about themselves are likely to work more than those that don't, but that should not be interpreted to mean that working longer hours makes people happy. On the contrary. There is clear evidence that allowing people to work less, and to manage when and where they work, leads to more happiness and work satisfaction.
We need to coopt a term from Danish — arbejdsglæde — which means happiness at work. And more importantly, we should adopt the thinking about work hours in Denmark, which is the happiest nation on Earth.
Not only do Danes tend to leave work at a reasonable hour most days, but they also get five to six weeks of vacation per year, several national holidays and up to a year of paid maternity/paternity leave. While the average American works 1,790 hours per year, the average Dane only works 1,540, according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) statistics. Danes also have more leisure hours than any other OECD workers and the link between sufficient leisure and happiness is well established in the research.
Only 10% of Danish workers are actively disengaged as work, compared to 18% of Americans, and one of the key factors is overwork.
I believe that overwork is one of the dark elements of the dominant business culture in the US, today. In the American entrepreneurial culture overwork is expected. It is a sign of accepting the entire cultural milieu, one based on centralized decision-making on all 'strategic' issues, power relations directed through a flattened — but still strongly hierarchical — pyramid, and collective acceptance of corporate policies and procedures, which is referred to as consensus, but which is at its core a demand for unearned loyalty.
One of the pillars of entrepreneurial culture is the requirement of working long hours, to the point that the normal human relationships out of work are threatened, or minimized. The best example of this are the go-go tech companies that feed employees all their meals, so they don't need to have dinner with friends and family, or to work out with non-work buddies, because the company health club is so much easier.
It's not just that the company is after the increased productivity theoretically available from those extra hours: the members of the workforce are signaling their allegiance to the cultural norms, and the acceptance of the culture's demands, even ones that are harmful. It's an indication of total submission. This is partly what Marissa Mayer was after when she dismantled Yahoo's telework program.
In Danish work culture his workaholism was seen as something to be corrected, not as proof of his allegiance.
There is a change in the works: a shift away from the need for entrepreneurial notions of allegiance-through-unhappiness. Part of the entrepreneurial mindset is the concept of 'creating culture', as if culture is an implement to be designed, shaped, and applied. Corporate culture viewed as a means to control the behavior of the workforce.
I see a shift toward the notion of a greater-than-corporate work culture, one that is not employed by some to control the rest. Instead, it is simply a shared set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms related to work. And central to that new work culture is the desire for happiness in our work, finding meaning and purpose instead of being confronted with coercion and implicit threats.
The first principle of deep culture must be that all work is personal, and as a result, each individual must start with engagement with their own work. Only then can they apply that focus — as a marketer, customer support lead, programmer, or auto mechanic — to advance the ends of the business.
Leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners will need to step up to this new ethos of work, and stop demanding unearned loyalty and subservience from employees. That's the model that has led us to the current status quo. It doesn't work, and intensification will most likely only increase levels of disengagement.
And perhaps nothing is more central than the idea of work happiness. If we don't start by expecting — demanding — a work environment based on happiness, then everything is out of whack. And the first step is to cut back on the hours at work, and spend more time daydreaming, learning new skills, walking the dog, or relaxing with friends and family.

It is not only happening with nme-runnermark, but in general, with almost any nme project that I try to build an html5 version out of. My next attempt would be to get rid of the current version of nme, and try with an older one.
Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing similar problems

A: NME 3.5.5 requires Haxe 2.10 or latest. Download and install it and it should be fine.
