Betsy DeVos: Oklahoma Teachers Should 'Stay Focused on What's Right For Kids'
By Alyson Klein on April 9, 2018 3:11 PM
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said that striking teachers in Oklahoma shouldn't let "adult disagreements" get in the way of serving students.
"I think we need to stay focused on what's right for kids," DeVos told the Dallas Morning News last week. "I hope that adults would keep adult disagreements and disputes in a separate place, and serve the students that are there to be served."
Oklahoma's teachers are among the lowest paid in the country and haven't had a raise since 2008. A statewide walkout has stretched into a second week, even though the legislature has acted to partially meet educators' demands.
The teachers' union wants $10,000 pay raise over three years and a $200 million boost to education funding, along with raises for support staff and other measures. So far, the legislature has passed a $6,100 pay raise for teachers and an additional $50 million for public schools, and Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican, has signed both changes into law.
On social media, some educators pushed back on DeVos' description of the situation in Oklahoma:
It's easy to tell teachers to stop thinking about money when your job with a cushy paycheck is bought and paid for. https://t.co/kMJifEPmDF

You know what would be absolutely best for kids? If teachers worked for free. No budget constraints, no pesky taxes needed to support schools. It'd be great. https://t.co/YumQH9mx6o

DeVos had a similar message about a statewide teacher walkout in West Virginia earlier this year, which lasted for nine days and ended with a 5 percent pay raise for all teachers.
But kids are directly harmed when they are barred from going to school to learn. So I hope both sides in WV come to the table to negotiate a swift resolution and get students back in their schools
— Betsy DeVos (@BetsyDeVosED) February 27, 2018
Organizations that DeVos helped fund and found often clashed with teachers' unions on policy in her home state of Michigan. More in this story.
The walk-outs in West Virginia and Oklahoma have inspired protests in Arizona and Kentucky. Maddy Will of the Teacher Beat blog has a great explainer here.

Preventing a grease fire is far more easy than starting one. If you are cooking with grease or oil, always maintain supervision of the liquid. Watch for warning signs like a change in smell or visible smoke vapors; Turn off the heat immediately if you notice them and remove the oil from the heat source if possible.
If a grease fire does start, keep in mind these absolute "No"s before you act.
If you've ever been in front of a pan of hot oil and accidentally put water inside of it, then you're at least passably familiar with the reasoning behind this rule. There may be a slight drop in the oil's temperature, but the water will pop as it heats and send the heated grease flying.
Grease doesn't stop being a liquid once it's on fire. Trying to move it to a safer location can do more harm than good when the sloshing oil tips out of the pot and onto the floor.
You'll need more than a stiff wind to put out a grease fire. Fanning the flames will only make it worse.
Keeping the heat on will make the fire worse and potentially lead to other fires if you forget about turning it off in the chaos.
Remove oxygen from the fire to stifle the flames. Use a solid, tight-fitting metal lid for pots and pans. If some grease spills and stays ablaze, you can use baking soda to treat smaller problem spots.
Grease fires are a Class B fire that can be put out by extinguishers rated for that class. If you use a common CO2 extinguisher, it may take more of the extinguisher's charge than a dry agent extinguisher.
If you feel like the fire has gotten beyond your control, you need to immediately call the fire department for the safety of your family and neighbors.

    return this;

}

public ngOnInit (): void {

    let cube: HTMLElement = (

                    );

            });

     }

 }

I know my error is occurring in the constructor but I am not sure how to correct it. Weird thing is I got this to work without a problem running Angular QuickStart but I think I am missing dependencies using angular-cli here is what my app.module.ts file has.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule }   from '@angular/forms';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';

import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

import { ContactComponent } from './contact/contact.component';

// Must export the config
export const firebaseConfig = {

   HeaderComponent,
   AboutComponent
 ],

'providers': [{

   'provide': Window,

   'useValue': window

 }],

 bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

You can clone this Repository from https://github.com/ICEDBANK/Portfolio will remain public for a bit If you want an Idea on how to implement Firebase into your project good source code included.

A: I think you aren't importing the window
try to include:
import {
  Component,
  ViewChild,
  ElementRef,
  OnInit,
  ValueProvider
  } from '@angular/core';

const WINDOW_PROVIDER: ValueProvider = {
    provide: Window,
    useValue: window
};

at the top top of your script or in app.module.ts
EDIT
I thing what you're missing here is explicit declaration of @Inject in your component. So try:
constructor (@Inject('Window') window: Window) {...}

Every year on average there are approximately 37 deaths due to children being left in hot cars. This year, there have already been 18 fatalities from hyperthermia or heat stroke. This number is higher than previous years and we are not even into July which historically has the highest numbers of deaths.
Some of the hotter states have had multiple child fatalities so far this year. There have been six child deaths in Texas, two in Tennessee and two in Missouri.
Inside temperatures in motor vehicles can easily rise to 140 degrees or more in a short time.
Some hyperthermia deaths have been caused when parent inadvertently leave their small child strapped into a rear child seat. Other deaths have been caused when children climb into a vehicle to play and get locked in.
Lock your vehicle so children can not climb inside.

Canute was the son of Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark, who had conquered England during the reign of Ethelred the Unready. When Swyen died in 1014, Ethelred came back to the throne, and when Ethelred died in 1016, his son Edmund II Ironside succeeded him. Canute, however, decided he wanted to rule England as his father had, and fought Edmund. The two eventually agreed to split the kingdom, but Edmund died within a year and Canute had England to rule alone. (He cemented his power by killing off as many other possible heirs as he could, such as one of Ethelred's younger sons; others fled the country.) He also conquered Norway in 1030, giving him quite an empire.
The version of the legend given in my sources is that Canute's advisors were trying to flatter him into thinking he was all-powerful, and he went to prove them wrong by commanding the tide to stop coming in, knowing he would fail. He then told them to realize "how empty and worthless is the power of kings." (This story is sometimes used as a Christian parable; some versions say Canute placed his crown on a statue of Christ after the tide came in.)
Canute died in 1035, probably aged around 40. His son Harold I Harefoot succeeded him to the throne of England (though not Denmark).

King Canute or Knut is one of the earliest Kings of England and reigned from 1016-1035, and was known for consolidating the country after a divisive war with the Saxons. He was also known as a man of great wisdom. Once he heard one of his court bards acclaim him with the phrase "Great King Canute, that rules the land, the sun, the moon, and the stars obey you." Canute was somewhat peeved by this, since he certainly was in no way that powerful, the song raised expectations he could not possibly fulfill, and besides, like most proper Vikings, he was a very modest man. But the song persisted, and he decided to Do Something about it.
Assembling his courtiers, he proposed an expedition down to the sea, taking his throne (which at that time was a nicely decorated oak stool) with him. When they all stood together on the North Sea beach at low tide, he asked the throne be brought to him.
"I have heard it said that the sun, the moon, and the stars obey me."
The assembled courtiers assured him that yes, this was so.
"Now if the sun, moon, and stars obey me, would not the sea obey me as well?"
The courtiers agreed that this, indeed would be the case.
"If that is so, then I command the sea not to touch the hem of my tunic!" he said, firmly planting the throne at the waters' edge, and sitting down.
The courtiers waited incredulously. Was he mad? His tunic was made of silk, that had been brought, as brocade, from China, unraveled at Cos, in Greece, and rewoven into a fine tissue. Embroiderers had worked it over lavishly with gold thread. It was, in sum, perhaps one of the most precious items in the whole kingdom. Would a miracle intervene? Did he know something they did not? What would happen next? The waters rose, first to the toes of his boots, then to their heels, to the ankles, then to their tops. Canute kept sitting in place, resolutely scowling at the sea. Finally, the sea came in to touch his hem, then a wave came to wet it by several inches. At last, he stood up.
"You observe, that the sea does not obey me. The sea obeys only God, as does the sun, the moon, and the stars. Do not sing that song again."
And he lifted the throne up onto his shoulder and walked back up onto the beach.

A Viking known as Canute "the Great" or "the Mighty", also as Knut, Knud and Cnut. A legend states that the King was a Christian and clever man surrounded by obsequious courtiers who claimed he was "so great, he could command the tides of the sea to go back"1. Teleny has written an excellent account of this legend.
Canute was born around 995 C. E. to Svein Forkbeard, King of Denmark, and Sigrid the widow of Eric of Sweden. His grandfather was Harald Bluetooth and his great-grandfather was King Gorm the Old. In 1013, Canute accompanied his father on an invasion of England, but he and his army were expelled by the Saxon king Aethelred in 1014 after Svein Forkbeard's death. Canute reinvaded England in 1016, defeated Aethelred's son and successor Edmund (or Eadmund) and became King of all England shortly thereafter.
Canute married Aethelred's widow Emma in 1017. She produced two children, Harthacnut and Gunhild. Canute's mistress Aelfgifu (some sources state that Emma was also known by this name) also gave him two sons: Harald and Svein.
Canute was the first ruler to unite all of England. During his reign, England enjoyed almost 20 years of peace and prosperity. He protected the island from invasions by other Vikings and allowed Anglo-Scandinavian art and the old English laws to flourish. Christianity spread, both within England and to other parts of Europe.
Canute's brother Harald, King of Denmark, died in 1018 so Canute returned from England to claim the throne. He also captured Norway, Scotland and part of Sweden. Canute died on 12 November 1035 and was buried in Winchester, England. His sons were not able to hold onto the lands he had consolidated.
Another story told about Canute concerns the murder of the Danish Earl Ulf, who happened to be Canute's brother-in-law and the second-most-powerful man in Denmark, after the King. According to the tale recorded in the "Heimskringla" or "Chronicles of the Kings of Norway"2, while entertaining Canute in his estate in northern England, Ulf challenged the King to a game of chess. The Earl played well, the King became angry, and the Earl ended up overturning the board and walking away. The next morning, the King commanded his chamberlain to go kill Ulf in a nearby church.
There is also a poem by the English satirist John Walcot (a.k.a. Peter Pindar) that relates the story of King Canute and the incoming tide called "King Canute and His Nobles".

California wildfires are being magnified and made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!
"Human emissions of greenhouse gas are not the sole determinant of temperature on Earth. Our study suggests that human-induced global warming of 2°C may trigger other Earth system processes, often called "feedbacks", that can drive further warming - even if we stop emitting greenhouse gases," says lead author Will Steffen from the Australian National University and Stockholm Resilience Centre.
"Hothouse Earth" becomes the reality," warns co-author Johan Rockström, former executive director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and incoming co-director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
Global map of potential tipping cascades. The individual tipping elements are color-coded according to estimated thresholds in global average surface temperature (tipping points; 18,43). Arrows show the potential interactions among the tipping elements, based on expert elicitation, which could generate cascades. Note that although the risk for tipping (loss of) the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is proposed at 1.5-2°C, some marine-based sectors in East Antarctica may be vulnerable at lower temperatures.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images HELPING HAND Every journalist grapples with the ethics of the profession. For instance, Kevin Carter's unsettling, Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph from South Sudan in 1993 still sparks intense debate today about whether Carter had a moral responsibility to intercede in the grim scene before him. Asked if he had ever found himself in a situation where he was compelled to put down his camera and help a person, Sullivan replied without hesitation. "Yes. During a fire that burned through Napa and Sonoma in October 2017, I came across a man running around frantically trying to save his house (above). The fire surrounded the house but, somehow, hadn't yet reached it. A fence around the house was on fire, and I helped him knock it down and put it out so the flames wouldn't burn deeper into his property. I am first and foremost a human being, and I'm not going to let someone's house burn to the ground so that I can keep taking pictures. I'm just not."
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images JAW-DROPPING Even after decades of covering fires, Sullivan can still be astonished by what he sees, and by the sheer destructive power at work. "I heard that a neighborhood in Santa Rosa was destroyed during the Tubbs Fire in October 2017, but until I saw it from the air I had no conception at all of the scale of the devastation," he said. "With most wildfires, even in neighborhoods like this one, the fire sort of jumps around, destroying a home here, but leaving another one over there standing. But this was something like a square mile where every house was burned to the ground. It was just jaw-dropping, like nothing I'd ever encountered in all the years I had covered fires."
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE The physical intensity of covering wildfires is not something the general public might give much thought to. But as Sullivan pointed out, "when photojournalists cover fires we're wearing the same protective gear as the firefighters. We're wearing fire suits, helmets, everything. I remember walking into a restaurant to have breakfast one morning with some other photographers while covering a fire and everyone in the place started applauding. When we told them sorry, we're just journalists, we don't deserve that, people said no, we did deserve it, because we were putting ourselves on the line to get the story out there. That sort of validation of what we do, by the people we do it for, is so gratifying." Pictured: Oceanside Fire Department captain Greg DeAvila shoots a flare into dry brush to try and head off the Rocky Fire on August 2, 2015, near Clearlake, California.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images FIGURINE IN RUINED LANDSCAPE A figurine found at the site of a Santa Rosa home destroyed by the Tubbs Fire in October 2017. The fast-moving wildfire destroyed thousands of structures and claimed the lives of at least 22 people across several northern California counties.

Not my photo but if it were I'd have titled it as one commenter (not here, of course) suggested: "White Trash".
Withheld behind the face of the centered woman in black, brow furrowed, hands raised clasping another's, in the third from last Pedro Pardo shot (V of St D section) - everything there would be left to say to History on the Subject of Now, in case it ever wanted to know (but of course won't).
Sometimes no words means unable to articulate. Sometimes though, the words don't (yet) exist.
These photos are proof enough that humanity is a cancer on the face of this beautiful blue planet and Mother Nature wants us dead. But Mother Nature isn't trying hard enough.

Q: List repetition (xx) without evaluation? The list repetition operator (xx) evaluates the list every time it is repeated. For example,
my @input = get() xx 5;

will evaluate to the first 5 lines of STDIN. Is there any way I can repeat just the value of the element 5 times, rather than evaluating it each time? Currently, I've been assigning it to a variable, then repeating it, but it seems a bit cumbersome that way.
my $firstLine = get();
my @firstlineRepeated = $firstLine xx 5;

Is there a prefix or something that lets me do it in one statement?

A: You could try use the andthen operator:
my @input = (get() andthen $_ xx 5);

From the documentation:

The andthen operator returns Empty upon encountering the first
  undefined argument, otherwise the last argument. Last argument is
  returned as-is, without being checked for definedness at all.
  Short-circuits. The result of the left side is bound to $_ for the
  right side, or passed as arguments if the right side is a Callable,
  whose count must be 0 or 1.

A: Using phrase ENTER works too
my @input = ENTER { get() } xx 5;

A: Using given to contextualize it into $_ is one fairly neat way:
my @input = ($_ xx 5 given get());
say @input;

That, when I type hello, gives:
[hello hello hello hello hello]

Since given simply contextualizes, rather than doing any kind of definedness or truth test, it's a bit safer as a general pattern than andthen.

The Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia (REL AP) @ SRI International, along with state and local partners in Virginia, is designing a project to supplement SCHEV's Landscape of Access Resources in Virginia 2017 by collecting additional information on more targeted subsets of programs. Researchers will develop and pilot a systematic review protocol to examine access providers' adoption of evidence-based strategies, rigor of evaluation practices, and evidence of program effectiveness. After introducing REL AP, presenters will highlight the research and evaluation literature informing the protocol, solicit participants' input on the study design and approach, and facilitate participants' application of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) evidence levels to an intervention promoting successful postsecondary transitions.

His professional goal is to eventually teach at the university level. He's off to a great start by recently being named as an Algebra Cubed Fellow for the 2008-2009 school year. Thanks to a National Science Foundation grant won by UK's Mathematics department, Lueker taught high school for one year in Powell County, Kentucky.
Another facet to his development in becoming a teacher is to begin a new role within the Statistics Department referred to as a "Super TA". Both Lueker and Angela Schörgendorfer (you may remember her as the previous subject of Graduate Student Spotlight) will be serving as mentors to the current teaching assistant staff. As such, they will be present to help the new assistants with unexpected developments in teaching their class or assist them with administering their first exam.
Lueker hopes the program will be especially beneficial for the department's international students who come to UK and are about to begin serving as first-time teaching assistants. "It can help them realize the responsibilities of a teaching assistant in the department and prepare them for what to expect when working with undergraduates," he said. Especially as international student backgrounds and educational experiences can differ greatly from the environments UK students experience in the course of their studies.
Along with the inaugural "Super TA" roles, Lueker and Schörgendorfer are also be partnering with William S. Rayens to help develop a new General Education Statistics course, which began in Fall 2010.
When not teaching, Lueker is a passionate sports fan devotedly following the Wildcats in football and basketball, and, his beloved St. Louis Cardinals and Rams throughout their respective seasons.
Lueker is also recently married. His wife, Melissa, recently received a Masters of Public Administration from UK's Martin School of Public Policy and Administration. She currently works as a Financial Analyst for the Legislative Research Commission in Frankfort.


We have been to Europe 5 times on our own and on land tours but wanted to see the coastal towns. This cruise had the best itinerary of any of the major cruise lines. We are happy that we chose RCCL as the ship had a crew which was exceptional, the ship was very easy to get around with good signage and the organization of embarkation and shore excursions was impressive. We knew that the food might not be quite up to par with another cruise line we have used, and it was not, but the service in the Main Dining Room with John Saby Fernandes was exceptional. The ice show and the Broadway show were enjoyable. We had an excellent Room Steward, Pinto Anthony. We boarded the ship about 30 minutes before the "recommended time" and went straight to the Anytime Dining Desk to confirm the times we had prebooked online. Erwina Janoras was the excellent My Time Dining host and she arranged for us to have a lovely sea window table for 2 every night. We also ate one night in Giovanni's and the steak was delicious. On the days we had early excursions, we left a card out to order continental breakfasts, and if you write down you have the earliest excursions, they will make sure you get it early. We watched the internet frequently and were able to book the RCCL shore excursions at a 20 to 30% discount due to short sales they advertised on the internet. Also, if you book them early, you will get the old prices before they raise them for the following season. We were very happy we did that for Rome and Naples and La Spezia, as the guarantee you will get back on the ship is worth the piece of mind if you are a senior and having convenient transportation is an essential. Since we were in Italy 3 years ago, we knew the travel time between port and city would eat up much of the day and we were able to see much more on a tour than on our own. 9 people did get left behind in Rome, even though the captain was very patient. If you do the 7 day Western Med tour, get to Barcelona several days early at least and know that you will be very tired but happy after the cruise, having seen many of the most iconic places in Europe!

Nicely laid out, small shower area. Excellent room steward, Pinto Anthony. Balcony was enjoyable. Comfortable bed.
Coast of Cinque Terre and Portovenere was our favorite day of the cruise. Our excellent local guide, Patrizia, was an expert at getting us on and off the boat and bus in a timely manner and we were able to get prime seats on the top of the ferry boat which glided serenely past the 5 towns. We had free time at a restaurant she recommended in Monterosso and then we took a train to Levanto where we met our bus to return us to the ship. We liked this RCCL ininerary the most because La Spezia is closer to Cinque Terre and Portofino than Livorno and made the trip magical. We would never have been able to see as much on our own, as the small towns had huge crowds trying to get on the ferries, which were full.
Amalfi Coast and Pompeii by Land And Sea was an excellent choice to see the breathtaking coast between Sorrento and Amalfi by bus, have free time in Amalfi, then take a refreshing boat ride between Amalfi and Salerno. The bus then drove us to Pompeii, where we had a group lunch, and a guided tour of Pompeii. We had researched all the tour choices, and this one was the best-reviewed. With only one day in this amazing area, you could never see this much on your own. We felt the time in Pompeii was adequate, although a few in our group would have liked more time. In the afternoon, Pompeii was not as crowded, and we made it back onto the boat by 5:30.
We had been in Rome 3 years before, and we knew the traffic to Rome from the port would take up valuable time, so we opted for the tour which would give us the most time in Rome. The Roma Express train takes boat passengers directly to the train station near the Civitavecchia port on a bus and disembarks at St. Peter's Station in Rome, giving 6 hours of free time in Rome. We knew that being in Rome would entail walking on cobblestone streets the entire day, so saving our energy by taking the train was a good solution, especially for mature travelers. We were able to leave Rome much later than those who opted to take the trains on their own.
Tiring but complete tours of Nice Flower Market, Monaco/Monte Carlo, and the walled town of Eze, France. The Nice visit was colorful and charming, Monaco was very posh and regal, and Eze was very strenuous for walking uphill but had a nice view. We could never have seen all 3 on our own, and it was better than just seeing 1 in depth.

Arrested Development Season 4: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
By	S.J. Prince
Updated Apr 3, 2013 at 10:24am
Netflix's newest season of Arrested Development premieres next month…or so we're told.
A specific release date has yet to be announced for the fourteen new episodes, but cast members and media sources have provided some insight into the seemingly scant official news about the cult television show.
So, here they are:
1. This Isn't Officially "Season 4"
In an interview with GQ mazaine, Jason Bateman was quoted as saying:
"It is not season four," Bateman says emphatically. "It got misbranded or mislabeled way, way, way back when and was never corrected for one reason or another. There are different agendas at work there, but it is not season four."
Unfortunately, Bateman did not elaborate as to what he means by that. Just more speculation.
2. David Cross Doesn't Know if There Will Be a Movie
In an interview with Michael Cera, David Cross was quoted as saying:
"I don't know if there's going to be a movie," Cross said. "The next season of the show will air, sorry, will stream in May. They were shooting for earlier but that got extended because of editing. So let's just say early to middle of May. There will be 14 to 15 episodes. There was going to be 10, but then everything got stretched out for your enjoyment. Because why not? At least this time we don't have to worry about selling jeans on Fox TV."
3. There Will Be Lots of Guest Stars
Latino Posts confirms the impressive list of guest stars we can expect to see on this new season, including: Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Isla Fisher, Conan O'Brien and John Slattery, not to mention a brief cameo from the show's creators Mitch Hurwitz and Brian Grazer.

10 Original Shows to Watch Out for on Netflix
4. Jason Bateman Talks About a Possible Movie
Further along in his interview with GQ, Bateman touches on the seeming need for a movie to follow-up this supposed last season.
The last line of the last episode of Arrested Development was Ron Howard saying to Maeby—she's pitching him a show about her family at Imagine—and he says to her, "No, I don't see it as a series. Maybe a movie!" And then the screen goes black. That's it. So Mitch [Hurwitz, the show's creator] was always planning on writing a movie. Every time he went to start a movie script, there was so much work to be done just to fill the audience in on where the family had been since the end of the show, and to also initiate the uninitiated about who these characters are. So he thought: The only way to tell a story of this size is to do the first act in episodes. So it's really a hybrid distribution of one big story. The episodes are simply act 1, and the movie will have act 2 and act 3 in it. So one does not work without the other.
5. This Will Probably Be the Last "Season"
It has been reported via the Huffington Post that this will most likely be the end of the series.
On a conference call with investors on Monday, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said "Arrested Development's" revival on the streaming service happened under "unrepeatable circumstances," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"'Arrested' is a unique property. We don't anticipate being able to do Season 5, 6 and 7," Hastings said on the call (via THR). "It is really a fantastic one off, which is coming together incredibly. I think it will be amazing for us, but think of it as a non-repeatable amazing."
Arrested Development Makes Big Return In May

5 Fast Facts, Arrested Development, TV
Check out the latest rumors about your favorite cult TV show!


One of the first RPGs I ever truly fell in love with was the original Digimon World on the PlayStation 1. I was a pretty big fan of the original TV series, which is why I was interested in playing the game originally, but honestly it doesn't matter if you liked the show or not. Kind of similar to Pokemon! Digimon World 1 hit all the right notes for me. The music, the training system, the freedom of adventure and the genuine excitement of recruiting new friends and unlocking stronger and stronger Digimon all sold me completely on the game. My love of Digimon World was not soon forgotten and I proceeded to play every single Digimon game that found its way to the west. This included a whole mess of sequels utilizing different game mechanics, across a ton of different systems. There were fighting games, a hack and slash and even more traditional RPG style titles, and I played every single one. Unfortunately, none of these games ever felt the same as Digimon World 1, and I always found myself dusting off my PlayStation 1 and popping it back in. I chalked up my love for the game as pure nostalgia after a while, connecting the game with a sentimental longing for my childhood. I figured no Digimon game ever would be able to scratch the itch I had for the original Digimon World, until January of 2017, AKA, Digimon World: Next Order's NA release date.
Not only did Digimon World: Next Order manage to meet my nostalgia driven expectations, it actually completely surpassed them. It really feels like the team behind Next Order understood what made the 1st entry in the series so good and just improved it in every single way. The plot is genuinely interesting, the soundtrack is reminiscent of the original and the amount of content to discover feels endless. I put around 130 hours into Next Order, and I still feel like I could go back to it anytime and find more to do.
I've written about this gem a few times on this blog already, tackling a few guides and mentioning it in my top 5 games of 2016. I even uploaded some combo videos to our YouTube channel!
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is essentially a remake of a PS2 game Odin Sphere. By "remake" I don't mean a simple graphical overhaul, Leifthrasir brings a bunch of improvements and additions to the game. As I said in my Top 5 blog, it's pretty difficult for me to explain exactly why I love this game so much, but it's definitely not nostalgia. To be honest, I thought the original Odin Sphere was pretty sloppy and clunky, even if the story was like something out of a Disney movie. Thankfully, Vanillaware seemed to realize this as well, and amped up the combat and various other systems and voila - Leifthrasir! This is one of those games I can't promise everyone would love like I do, but I would implore everyone to just give it a try. There's definitely something here for everyone between the fast paced combat, deep character development, Disney-esque narrative and cooking with Maury!
Before I get into this, there's something you should know about me. I'm terrified of aliens. Ever since I saw M. Night Shymalan's Signs as a kid, the idea of an extraterrestrial invasion spooks me out. I never particularly grew out of it either. Just this past summer I was talking our dog Ganon on a walk on a foggy night and all I could think was, "Damn, if aliens landed in this field right now I'd be screwed." Well, Firaxis games has given me the perfect playground to take vengeance on the alien scum.
Ironically enough, XCOM 2 is not the second game in the series, it's actually the 7th or 8th depending on who you ask. That level of refinement definitely shows in XCOM 2. Just like past entries in the series, players take command of the XCOM unit, the elites standing up against invasion. There's definitely a lot involved in dealing with an alien invasion, like training troops, developing technology, establishing connections with other humans, and of course taking on missions. These missions provide the bulk of gameplay for XCOM 2, but all of the management provides a ton of satisfaction as well. Creating soldiers (in my case, I made them all look like my friends!), finally developing a strong weapon or armor, even simply doing an autopsy on an alien species you managed to defeat provides some really interesting results. Top all this off with an incredibly deep tactics style combat and XCOM 2 is a genuinely brain teasing game, with plenty of action to boot. Like Odin Sphere, I can't promise everyone would like XCOM 2. There's a permadeath system in place, punishing you heavily for putting your soldiers in danger, and as I mentioned, you definitely need more brain power to tackle Firaxis' title. If you really dont like tactical RPGs you should probably avoid this one.
Before I reveal my favorite PS4 game of all time, there's a few titles that just BARELY missed out on the list that are definitely worth mentioning. I'd also like to note there's a whole mess of PS4 games that I know are incredible, but I just have't been able to play them yet. Yakuza 0, Nier, Nioh and many more are gathering dust on my shelf waiting for me to devote some time to them. Obviously they won't make this list...yet!
Final Fantasy is a very interesting series. It seems like any RPG lover has a few titles in the series they swear by, but are a bit reluctant to accept any game outside of those loved mechanics. Just a personal observation. Final Fantasy XV is a bizarre game, and barely feels like a Final Fantasy game, and yet when it was over I thought to myself, "Wow, that was a good Final Fantasy game!". It also has an amazing fishing mini-game, so that helps!
I've been a fan of the infamous series since the original PS3 title. There's not much to dislike about a gritty free roaming super hero game, and Second Son is no exception! If anything, Second Son is the best game in the series. Second Son is basically the original reason I bought a PlayStation 4 in the first place!
Every once in a while a game comes along that changes all of your expectations, and rekindles the magical immersion that video games can offer. The first time that bar was ever set for me was Suikoden 2 when I was a kid. There have been a lot of games since then that kind of floor me, The Last Of Us' narration, Persona 3's characters, Fallout 3's gameplay, etc, etc. Well, The Witcher 3 makes all of those games seem pretty bad in comparison. In fact, guest blogger Dictator and I have an on going joke of comparing every game to The Witcher 3, and noting how bad they all seem when you do so. It's genuinely that good.
What makes The Witcher 3 such a milestone in gaming? For one, this may be one of the first open world games I've ever played that doesn't ever feel bogged down with chores. Every mission is well written, well executed and a genuine treat to undertake. This is due in part to the perfectly written characters, and difficult yet thought provoking combat, but there's so much more going on. I suppose I could chalk it up to "the sum is greater then the parts", but even that doesn't do it justice. This gorgeous fantasy RPG by CD Projekt Red is not only the best PlayStation 4 game, I think it may be one of the best video games of all time. The only reason I've never written a review for what I believe to be the best game of this decade is...well I just don't have the words.

On The Hottest June On Record, Most Media Missed This Key Context
The Only Outlets To Connect Record To Climate Change: AP, ABC, Fox News
Blog ››› July 23, 2014 12:15 PM EDT ››› DENISE ROBBINS
The globe recently experienced the hottest June on record, fitting in with the trend of global warming. Yet several top media outlets reported on the announcement without mentioning climate change at all.
2014 has been a record-breaking year for global temperatures. On July 21, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association announced that the average global temperature for the month of June was the hottest experienced for 134 years of records. This finding follows the hottest May on record, the hottest March to June period on record, and the third hottest first half of the year on record. The average ocean surface temperatures for the month of June were the warmest on record for any month of the year. NOAA's climate monitoring chief Derek Arndt explained succinctly to the Associated Press -- the only top U.S. print source* that reported on the findings in the context of global warming -- stating that the planet is in the "steroid era of the climate system." Climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck added: "This is what global warming looks like."
But if you consume mainstream media, you likely missed this context. CBS, NBC, MSNBC, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal,** and The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang all covered the announcement without mentioning its key context: global warming, driven by human activities, is making hotter temperatures the norm.
The July 21 edition of ABC's World News With Diane Sawyer was the only broadcast network program to report on the record in the context of global warming, introducing it as "a new statistic for arguments about climate change," and going on to discuss extreme weather events currently happening across the United States:
Even Fox News mentioned global warming in its brief discussion of the record-breaking heat. On The Five, co-host Bob Beckel brought up the record during the "One More Thing" segment. He mocked his co-hosts' relentless global warming denial -- the program accounts for over half of the network's misleading coverage on climate change -- and quipped that "it's got nothing to do with global warming... It just happens to be... a lot of people burned fires... sunspots. That's what it is." From the July 21 edition of The Five:
BOB BECKEL: The world has just had its hottest June on record since -- they've been keeping records since 1880 -- and this is the 353rd month in a row where the heat index in the world has made a record. In a row. It's got nothing to do with global warming. Nothing to do with that. It just happens to be, I don't know, a lot of people burned fires. I don't know. There's a reason why we oughta -- sun spots. That's what it is. Sun spots.
This may be one of the few times that the mainstream media should consider taking notes from Fox News.
*Outlets examined were the Associated Press, Bloomberg, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Reuters, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and NBC.

On Monday July 20th, 1908, fifteen boys and twelve girls stepped through our gates for the very first time to discover a place of inspiration, camaraderie, education and vision.
Having recognised the significant gap between primary school and university, the Mount Barker community lobbied to establish a local high school, with the first classes being held in temporary facilities at the corner of Adelaide Road and Druids Avenue. Together with Adelaide High School, it was one of the first free secondary schools to be established in the Commonwealth of Australia.
On the 12thJuly 1911 the state government purchased the current school site, and began building the new school two years later.
With 44 students enrolled, Mount Barker District High School opened on Monday 15thJuly 1914, in the building that now houses our Performing Arts Studio.
Over the next hundred years, the school grew and developed into the pioneering centre of education we see today, while always retaining its close links to the wider Mount Barker community.

Project brief:
In this art exhibition, titled 'Faulty Towers', a diverse group of artists and musicians have come together to investigate how art, music and other creative genres incorporate structures and systems that have direct parallels with architecture. Towers have become a re-occurring building type in virtually every major city around the world. These often begin life as shiny and glamorous icons but after a time, unforeseen constructional and planning defects sometimes render them unusable – they may even have to undergo major refurbishment or need to be completely demolished. Thus towers often represent both a celebration and disillusionment about mankind's future.
The creative works that are being displayed are a mixture of both serious and humorous pieces, that attempt to engage with the common underpinnings found in nature and the environment, with the structural, mathematical and proportioning systems of the man-made world. Some of the artists propose elegant and perhaps impossible new construction or sometimes deconstruction, whilst others combine ad-hoc marks, or hybrid and collaged shapes, which mimic natural generative and regenerative processes. In this exhibition each artist explores their own personal reaction to this theme,
leaving the viewer to ponder their own, inevitably uncertain future.
Communication Certified
The 2-hour long Communication Certified sound and visual improvised performance in an underground World War II air raid shelter in Brighton was captured visually and sonically.
The full performance was played back into the space in 5.1 surround sound for two days following the event, and was open to the general public. The works of the 2 visual artists were left in situ as exhibits.
A half-hour long film of the performance was screened in 5.1 surround sound at the University of Brighton in June 2014 as part of the BA (Hons) Music & Visual Art degree shows.

Mill Spring, NC - In his first appearance at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), Kent Farrington (USA) piloted Gazelle to a win in the $35,000 FEI 1.50m Suncast® Welcome, finishing the class in 43.76 seconds.
Sharn Wordley (NZL) and Casper crossed through the timers in 47.387 seconds for second place, while Alise Oken (USA) and Hitchcock VD Broekkant collected third place with a time of 47.387 seconds. Major FEI competition continues at the venue with the $130,000 Asheville Regional Airport CSI 3* Grand Prix on Saturday, May 7, at 7:00 p.m.
Farrington, who currently sits in sixth on the FEI World Ranking list, took an efficient and educational approach to the track with Gazelle, capitalizing on opportunities to further the training of the 2006 Belgian Warmblood mare (Kashmir van Schuttershof x Diva 'Ter Elsen') as well as improve their communication throughout the course.
Manuel Esparza (MEX) designed today's course in the George Morris Arena, which saw ten combinations move forward to the jump-off round, while six pairs secured a double clear effort on the afternoon.
"Manuel Esparza is an experienced designer and I've jumped his courses before in Calgary. They're always designed very well. I think it was a great class measuring this for the welcome today," commented Farrington.
Gazelle's scope and carefulness helped the pair around the short course, in which they finished nearly four seconds faster than second place finisher Wordley. Farrington has carefully built up the mare's confidence and focused on sharpening her turning ability in the ring.
"This is actually a horse that I showed in a few grand prix classes throughout this season and in the jump-off her turning is a little bit of her weakness," he explained. "I think we've given up some good classes, so we're focusing on making her training better through those turns. My goal for the jump-off was to really work on her weaknesses and work on my short turns to the jumps."
As one of the younger horses in Farrington's internationally renowned string, Gazelle has gained valuable experience this past season, contesting several of the major grand prix classes at the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) at Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC), including a win in the $86,000 Suncast® 1.50m Jumper Classic in late March.
"She had a good circuit this past winter and we're still fine tuning some of her training," he noted. "When we finish here, she'll go to Calgary to do some of the larger classes there."
Today's win marked Farrington's first competition experience at TIEC and he was pleasantly surprised with the vastness of the facility, as well as the major investment the Tryon Equestrian Partners have made to expand the reach of equestrian sport.
"I've never been here before and you can see that they've put a lot of money into the facility, which caught me by surprise, just that everything is new. It's very clear that there was a major effort here and a lot of funds have been put behind this facility to support it. It's very impressive," said Farrington.

1. The pain in Spain falls mainly…on Germany.
We said a few weeks ago that the LTRO's (Long Term Refinancing Operation) would fall short of "curing" the solvency issues of the PIIGS – that trillions were needed instead of billions. It just so happens that this has become a reality. However, we didn't expect trouble to materialize so quickly following what was declared a "victory" for the region (and globally) just a few short months earlier. This time the headlines feature Spain, whose government is required (as Greece was) to reduce its 8.5% deficit to 5.3% before they can qualify for a bailout from the now combined EFSF and ESM "firewall" fund. Early Friday morning the German parliament approved a new increase to the fund, bringing its capacity to near €800B. The resolution arrested sliding debt markets of said PIIGS and managed to put a bid into world equity markets, allowing them to finish in respectable territory. To clarify, it appears that money printing saved the day for the markets once again, and we emphasize the word "day", since the economic and fiscal warning signs continue to surmount in favor of the bears (see the box scores).
On that note, there was quite a bit of U.S. economic data released this week. The GDP figures (+3.0 in the 4thQ of 2011) were in line; all others indicated trouble ahead. In abbreviated format: The Dallas Fed Manufacturing activity fell 7 points to 10.8 in March. Consumer confidence also dropped in March to 70.2 from 70.8. The Case Shiller home price index fell again, although slower this time, by 3.78% YoY in January. According to the index, home prices are now down 34% from the 06' peak. Durable Goods orders (+2.2% in Feb) were weaker than expected – core durable goods orders have been declining for 18 months now. Jobless claims increased for the first time in several weeks. Personal spending (0.8% in Feb) outpaced incomes (0.2% in Feb) for the second month in a row. Revolving credit, as we have mentioned here ad nauseam, continues to be the drive behind consumer spending.
Overseas, the German-approved (and largely guaranteed/backed) bailout fund eclipsed all other news pertinent to the markets. Perhaps of importance, business sentiment indicators across the Eurozone, and in Germany specifically, fell in March. However, this was before the increase in the firewall, which may render current economic data worthless for the time being. A better read on affairs in Europe will be had in coming weeks. As an aside, China, Russia and Brazil have all voiced a willingness to print in support of the EU rescue package if needed.
The Brits on the other hand may be learning first hand that money printing doesn't work – okay, maybe that's overstating things a bit. Following several "stimulus" packages in the last year, Britain has suffered the biggest drop in disposable income in more than three decades as energy prices (inflation) increased. Real household disposable income fell 1.2 percent. That's the biggest drop since 1977.
The Fed may be approaching a similar kind of dilemma as that faced by the Brits, but with the addition of a few curve balls. Print and you may squeeze consumers with higher oil prices. Refuse to print and you slam consumers vis à vis higher borrowing costs (mortgage refi.). Bond supplies, both corporate and Federal, have been off the charts in the first quarter of this year. Because of our sizable deficits, it does not appear that supplies will let up any time soon. In fact, they very likely could continue to increase. Therefore, if the Fed chooses not to monetize (remove excess supplies via QE) it may be risking an eventual bond market collapse.
Bernanke has made several speeches and/or interviews in the last week in which he has stated repeatedly that he has very little concern for the oil price (or inflation) and its impact on consumers. We could conclude from this that he weighs a total collapse in the financial system as the greater threat, and may therefore be ready to print at the first sign of market turmoil. What is needed, of course, is a trigger; an economic one would be preferred to that of an "event driven" incident such as a war in the Middle East.
In that, we rather suspect that corporate earnings for the first quarter of 2012 may well provide the needed fodder for a market eruption. Earnings growth, as we mentioned in our last commentary, fell flat in the fourth quarter last year as companies (primarily financial firms) ran out of accounting gimmicks in the game of "beat the number". In the current quarter, consumer credit and European issues may have a negative impact on earnings. If not this quarter, perhaps the next, in which case forward guidance may play a larger role. All things considered, when the Fed is forced to come to the rescue, as we believe they eventually will, the metals should benefit handsomely, ending what has been so far, an eight-month consolidation.

Attorney General, City of Carlinville, Lisa Madigan, Macoupin County
Carlinville Mayor Deanna Demuzio implied compliance to newspaper: they proudly print it –
According to the Macoupin County Enquirer Democrat and Mayor Deanna Demuzio, I am "targeting" Carlinville "again"... if asking for public records and demanding they be provided equates to "targeting" the City of Carlinville, then I am guilty.
Carlinville has been one of the most secretive public bodies we have ever encountered in the past 5 years (Sawyerville is quickly working its way into the number one position on that list). Nowhere else have we had this amount of trouble obtaining what they are required to provide. It is time for them to fire their attorneys and hire some that understand the Freedom of Information Act, and that can follow simple directions.
Quote from the MCED:
"It's unfortunate that after all these many months, going back through December, then having all of the things that happened with petitions, and all the things that the city has been involved in, including all the things with me, that we have now reached the point, again, where someone here in town contacted the Edgar County Watchdogs. Now, we're at another suit. I hope it comes to an end. Our attorney will be looking at this and we will be filing our response here shortly," said Mayor Deanna Demuzio, who stated that all of the materials requested by Kraft have been sent. "We have met all of the requests he has made through FOIA. Unfortunately, we will have to respond to this suit."
This quote kind of makes me wonder if an intern from the local college wrote this piece.
we haven't "reached this point again" - this is a continuation of attempts to obtain public records from the city that they have failed to provide.
There are at least three more FOIA suits on the way - all due to the city's failure to provide public records as required by law - let that sink in for a minute...Demuzio and the "attorney" are more than willing to make the taxpayers of Carlinville pay out their backsides to try and keep these public records from becoming public. It is their actions causing these lawsuits, they have failed Carlinville residents and failed to comply with the law.
Demuzio played word-games with "we have met all of the requests he has made through FOIA" - someone please ask her to qualify that statement. Most people would read that to mean they provided all the requested public records - they did not.
This legal action was brought about thru the City of Carlinville's refusal to provide public records as requested, their refusal to abide by time-lines set forth in the Freedom of Information Act, their refusal to cooperate with investigations by the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Counselor, and their continued lies during public meetings in reference to FOIA requests and non-existent responses.
Either the Mayor, Clerk, and attorney are all lying to the public, or one of them has failed their duty to respond to FOIA requests - either way, the blame lies squarely on the back of the City Clerk and FOIA Officer, Mrs. Carla Brockmeier. It is her duty to comply with the law, regardless of what the Mayor or the city attorney instructs her to do. They do not have the authority to impede her lawful duty of properly responding to FOIA requests, even though it appears they have.
Not only have they not responded to me with the public records requested, they have refused to answer every inquiry [from the FOIA requests involved in the lawsuit] from the Illinois Attorney General and failed to respond to at least 2 other FOIA requesters and the AG's inquiry of those.
They have never even responded to the AG's Office: HERE and HERE - there are more, but these are examples of the serious problems posed by Carlinville's legal advice. This attorney appears to be racking up legal bills for bad advice, and Mayor Demuzio is allowing it to happen.
J. Madison
Simple question. What is Carlinville trying to hide?
Warren J. Le Fever
My experience with city attorneys has been that if the mayor wants an opinion, the attorney will give an opinion that suits the mayor. If the mayor wants to cooperate with the FOIA request, the attorney will accordingly advise the FOIA officer to send the documents requested. If an attorney doesn't advise according to the mayor's wishes, he can be replaced and that's legal. Since it's a pocketbook matter, the attorney advises accordingly. The law can be ignored and it will until a judge says different.
James J Pancrazio
Does the city employ college interns to do this kind of work?
It is Senator Deanna Demuzio. Not Deanne.
jmkraft
I corrected the spelling of her first name, but she is not a Senator, she is the Mayor.
Kirk Allen
Tim she is no longer a Senator. Please tell me you dont think these elected officials should be addressed by their former position.
