Four weapon slots, procedurally generated levels and lots of robots to destroy – welcome to Asterogue. This roguelike ditches turn-based battles in favor of much more fast-paced gesture-based action. Powerful weapon modules or not, you're going to need quick reflexes and situational awareness if you plan on saving that planet of yours. Oh and it's free. Free! FREEEE! Alright, onto the game.
Even though there's a planet in need of saving, the majority of your time will be spent killing stuff – in this case, robots. Lots and lots of robots. At first you won't have much to work with. Maybe a tiny blade and/or a pistol, neither of which will do you much good in the long run, so it's a good thing that weapon modules seem to be pretty common. Not all are upgrades though, so I'd recommend paying close attention to what you're doing; especially since once you've replaced a module, the old one is gone. Forever. No backsies. At all. None.
After I'd laid waste to the first dozen or so enemies and acquired some half-decent weapons, things started getting interesting and I felt like a badass robot slayer. Of course this resulted in me venturing deeper and deeper, all while taking on more fierce opponents and a mini-boss or two, along with some rather odd timed sequences; bet you've never played 'blast the cage to free the whale' in a roguelike before!
And there's that word again: 'roguelike'. Since Asterogue doesn't feature genre stables like permadeath or a proper leveling system, is it in fact a roguelike? Honestly, I'd say it's more of an ARPG (Action RPG), and one with very little emphasis on loot to boot. I only came across actual items after each 'arena' had been cleared of enemies – everything else was scrap metal, which the game automatically sells for you. These items act as weapon modules, which can be put into one of your four slots and then used to lay waste to more robots, who will then leave more cash and new weapon modules behind, and… so on and so forth.
How do you take down an army of malicious robots? By turning them into scrap, taking their weapons, and leaping right into the next fight, of course!
Combat is handled by simple gestures: swipe across an enemy to slice it, tap to shoot in its direction and so on. Moving your character around the screen is handled simply by tapping anywhere, which is incredibly useful for dodging and, well, staying alive, obviously. It may sound simple, but if you lose track in the heat of battle, chances are you will lose a lot of health or perhaps even find yourself biting the dust.
Permadeath may not exist in Asterogue, but you do still get penalized for dying; it's not like you really needed those weapon modules anyway, right? To prevent this loss, you have the option of returning to your ship after each level. This does reset the current 'dungeon' though, so venturing onwards and risking it all instead might actually be the better option. Just don't go too deep until your weapons pack a noticeable punch, since the challenge ramps up rather quickly.
With three separate worlds to explore and a wide variety of enemies and weapons, if Asterogue manages to hook ya, chances are it'll be part of your gaming rotation for a while. It may not be the deepest or most complex ARPG, even for a mobile game, but… it's fast-paced, easy to learn and, most importantly, fun! Pick your poison and go demolish some robots: Android or iPhone/iPad?

CHAPTER SIX: THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES.
We can turn now to the main movements with which vegetarianism had affinities.
The background in liberal theism is perhaps best illustrated in the person of Francis Newman whose Phases of Faith was one of the classic accounts of the earlier phase of the Victorian crisis of faith. Newman eventually arrived at a mystical version of religion, rooted in the experience of God in the individual soul, and allied to a belief in the absolute primacy of moral duty. (1) Many in ethicalist and liberal Christian circles reached a similar position. (2) Of great influence in this milieu was American transcendentalism.
American transcendentalism had of course, already been influential in vegetarian circles in the period of the Concordium; however in the later nineteenth century it achieved a new degree of influence, and through the 1880s accounts of and quotations from Emerson and Thoreau become increasingly common both in the vegetarian magazines and more widely. (3) New England Transcendentalism had itself developed out of, and in reaction against, puritanism, and it stressed optimism, the divinity of human nature, the romantic glorification of consciousness, and the pointlessness of creeds and. dogmas; it also retained a strong ethical bias. (4) Its similarity in character to English liberal religion meant that Emersonianism became at this time a sort of theology for these advanced religious circles. Its influence also reached many indirectly through the writings of Carpenter.
The language of transcendentalism is vague and amorphous, with its emphasis on Oneness, Wholeness and the mystic unity of the soul and the universe; and its very cloudiness made it more a language of feeling - its works were read almost as devotional texts - than a system of ideas. (5) What it did stand for, however, was a reassertion of the possibility of vision in the world, and of the central reality of the individual.
The interest in eastern religion was very generalised; no great distinction was made between the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, nor in the case of Kingsford and Maitland, between these and the gnostic and occult traditions of the West. Carpenter similarly wove together ideas taken from Indian material with those of the transcendentalists; he was not unusual in this, for what people sought and found in Indian thought was very similar to the critical values expressed in the transcendental tradition; and Coomaraswamy pointed out that: 'the "New Theology" is little else than Hinduism'. (11) For most people it was not so much a direct commitment to Indian beliefs, so much as to the powerful image of Indian Spirituality; and to an important extent their conception of Indian religion took its form from what were felt to be the deficiencies and errors of western culture. India came to represent the great polar image of the West. It was a development that was not confined to the religious sphere, the Arts and Crafts movement, particularly through the influence of Coomaraswamy, (12) who in the mid 1900s belonged to Ashbee's Cotswold circle, saw in India the kind of pre-industrial, craft society where art was fully integrated into life, where community was strong and labour unalienated, that they dreamed of re-establishing.
The process of discovery and selection whereby Indian religion came into popular consciousness is a complex one, made more so by the transformations that native Hinduism itself underwent in response to the particular focus of interest of the West and to its political position. (13) However, certain features of the West's apprehension do stand out. First, the interior, intuitive aspects of the East were stressed. (14) Coomaraswamy declared that the 'Message of the East' was precisely: 'Look within : Thou art Buddha'; (15) and the most profound influence of Indian thought has always centred on the conception of the identity of Brahman and Atman - a conception that underpins the ideas referred to earlier in the context of inner being. Secondly, caste is denigrated and perceived as a corruption of true Hinduism, and an ethic of universal brotherhood is substituted. Thirdly, in vegetarian circles, there is an emphasis put upon the exemplary figure of the Buddha and particularly on his concern for the animals (there are echoes here also of the late nineteenth century Protestant cult of St Francis), and a central place is given to the Bhagavad Gita whose similarities to the Sermon on the Mount - always a central text in these religious circles - is not missed.
The close connection of this eastern inspired religious strain with vegetarianism is less a result of direct cultural contact than of congruence, for in the process of cultural selection referred to, a phenomenon like vegetarianism – though not one like caste, nor other of the forms of ritual impurity - passes through the cultural filter because it relates to an already established western language. Two figures in particular illustrate this mixture of eastern and western spiritual ideas and their relation to vegetarianism they are Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland.
This brings us to the final category, that of the religion of nature. The religion of nature and the ideal of the simple life were in this period largely co-extensive; however, I shall touch here on the strain that found in nature a source of religious significance. Nature as religion was often explicitly non-Christian, and frequently set in opposition to conventional morality. Richard Jeffries' The Story of My Heart, is the classic in the field. Among the vegetarians the clearest exponent was William Jupp, though Semple, Redfern and Carpenter provide further examples.
William Jupp, (29) having lost his father at an early age, was brought up, separated from his mother, in a Calvinist atmosphere which he describes as terrible, blighted and oppressive. At the age of thirteen he moved to town to learn a trade, which he hated. In these years, under the influence of	the first of many pantheistic experiences of a Presence in the world that was loving and kindly, he broke free from the old religious creed. From then on, he reported, religion was no longer a 'painful mystery of dread'. He trained as a Congregational minister but found the corrosive impact of the Higher Criticism lead to the collapse of his evangelical beliefs; though a more fundamental influence was the impact of Emerson and Thoreau and. the renewed vision he gained, while a minister in Croydon and walking in the Surrey Hills, of Nature as instinct with Religion. Before this reality he felt there was no need of theology or creeds. During the 1880s he was a leading figure in the Fellowship of the New Life. He left the ministry, and founding the Ethical and Religious Fellowship in Croydon, made his living from Sunday addresses to the fellowship and to the many ethical societies that were then springing up. He eventually ended his days in Letchworth Garden City.
'What Wordsworth felt concerning the relations of Man to Nature, Darwin proved to have a reasonable basis in fact'. (32) The fears that had initially been felt concerning evolution, Jupp declared, were groundless; rather 'to many of us it has proved one of the strong intellectual supports of a reasonable and reverent religious faith'. (33) Religious aspiration was still possible, for in the movement from the lower to the higher forms lay the promise of movement to yet higher forms. Thus the second aspect of evolution that had threatened traditional religion – the destruction of the absolute barrier between man and the beasts, with its implications for the soul – proved positively beneficial to the vegetarians. At last there was scientific proof for their holistic feelings - for Whitman's cry, quoted by Jupp, that 'a vast similitude interlocks all. (34) it is a significant aspect of his religion of nature that Jupp credits Wordsworth, the great prophet of this, with - against all the evidence - 'vigorous physical health'. (35) The visionary religion of nature could not be denied its bodily expression, nor be disentangled from natural health.
The vegetarians thus retained the language and references of evolution but gave it a totally different meaning. The process was given a romantic Hegelian significance, and Nature, far from being indifferent, becomes the central embodiment of meaning. There is a grand planned system in the universe and a moral core at the heart of nature.
235. Newman believed that religion must be freed from all elements of authority and obligation to believe; the error of the churches lay in objectifying the sense of God in miracle and myth, and intellectualising it in dogma and creed. See his The Phases of Faith, 1850; and Robbins, and Willey.

276. Thus all the things that are Known to be wrong – killing for sport, lies, drunkenness, meanness - are ugly. We must make our lives beautiful, and vegetarianism ic pare of this. Religion of Nature, p147. The ugliness of meat in contrast to the beauty of fruit is a recurring vegetarian point.
Editor's note: to be precise the Vegetarian Society sent the delegation to the International Vegetarian Congress, also at the World's Fair, and included the Religious meetings while they were there. Annie Besant attended the Parliament of Religions separately.

Cosmic Slop #90: Should we cut Kanye West some slack?
Thu 24 November, 2016
Originally posted on Getintothis
As Kanye West is hospitalised following a series of bizarre outbursts, Getintothis' Shaun Ponsonby asks if we should back off and let him deal with his issues.
It is easy to make fun of Kanye West. Extremely easy. That is the reason I don't mention him in these pages as often as he is probably warranted.
The whole Swift–West divide that still crops up hasn't been interesting since…well, ever. And for the last few years, it has been playing out like they are uneasy neighbours in a half funny sitcom. In a very real way, Kanye West and Taylor Swift are the musical equivalent of Hyacinth and Emmett from Keeping Up Appearances. Obviously West would be Hyacinth, owing to his pretention and overall annoying-ness. To say that his trending moments can come across as self-parody is an understatement. Gimme a challenge, yo.
The other reason, though, is that I do occasionally wonder about his mental health. I'm not being contentious here, it has genuinely crossed my mind. He often seems both insecure and arrogant at the same time. A total narcissist, and a neglected child in need of love. Certain events this week have taken a turn beyond what an almighty bumhole he is and that ever present question of his mental health has been intensified. After his hospitalisation, several friends and collaborators have come forward to show their support.
It is easy to dismiss his ravings as those of a self-serving megalomaniac. Let's be honest, anyone who refers to themselves as "The world's greatest living rock star" and compares himself to Picasso, Miles Davis, Walt Disney, Jesus and…erm…a blowfish(?) is going to catch Hell. It is the same reason I no longer waltz into Kwik Save and arrogantly proclaim to the staff that I am the world's greatest living customer, and demand to be listed as such in the company newsletter. The inevitable backlash might not have been fully justified, but I eventually understood that I can't provoke people like that and not expect it. Plus, it never worked. Being named in the Kwik Save company newsletter remains nothing more than a pipe dream.
But some of his rants aren't even about himself. They're also about Beyonce. This week, after spending years campaigning for her to win every single award on the planet – from the Grammy album of the year to the National Jewish Book Award – he had a change of heart.
He told an audience in Los Angeles "Beyonce, I was hurt. Because I heard you wouldn't perform unless you won video of the year over me and over Hotline Bling. In my opinion – now don't try and diss Beyonce, she is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all equal. But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forgetting who we are just to win. Fuck winning. Fuck looking cool. Fuck being cool." After a reported 20 minutes of ranting, he dropped his microphone, said "Show's over" and darted off stage.
https://twitter.com/Exposing_celebz/status/800248978923098113
This really is all over the place. He says "I heard…", but by saying as such he has implied that this is well sourced information. It feels more along the lines of where Trump "heard" that climate change was a Chinese conspiracy.
He says "Fuck winning", which presumably means he doesn't think winning awards really matters (which it doesn't). But if winning doesn't matter (seriously, it really, really doesn't), why does he give a fuck whether or not Beyonce fixed the VMA's? If "Fuck winning" was his actual mantra, then he wouldn't be "hurt". And why should he be hurt anyway? He makes it sound like it was a personal attack on him (and Drake apparently), when in actuality it would be nothing more than a not-as-shrewd-as-she-thought-it-was-because-nobody-remembers-who-wins-awards-anyway bit of PR.
I have often felt like Kanye has a lot of interesting things to say. He just consistently contradicts himself, and buries the good stuff in utter bullshit.
But, leaving aside how unlikeable he can be, if his mental health is suffering, those who have facilitated it need to take some blame. Take MTV for example, who constantly give him extended airtime at award shows to ramble on.
Last year at the MTV Video Music Awards, West spoke for a full 13 minutes, and ended with his announcement of a Presidential campaign for 2020. This is only possible because they allotted him 13 minutes to speak like that. MTV is owned by a corporate conglomerate, so all they care about is profit. If Kanye West was rambling on for too long, they would cut him off and go to a commercial. They wanted him to say something outrageous to get attention. And he did – he said he was going to run for President, and everyone lost their shit. Job done. Right, MTV? Now Kanye can go back to suffering alone in his home rather than on your shitty channel.
If his mental health is in question, then that is pretty fucking disgusting. It is taking advantage of somebody who is in need for your own end.
Not that I am diagnosing him here, of course. Last time I diagnosed somebody, it led to a pretty hefty prison sentence. In fact, coincidentally, that was also in Kwik Save. That kind of armchair diagnosis going on throughout social media does an injustice to those suffering with mental health issues.
But, if Kanye West is suffering from such problems, perhaps more understanding would be a way forward, as opposed to the barrage of hate and mocking.
Obviously, if he isn't, then ignore all of this. In that case, he's just a dick.
NEWSBITES
I may have contradicted myself purely by writing this entire article.
There was a bit of a backlash against Channel 5 for their Freddie Mercury docudrama this week, but what did people expect? It was a low budget biographical docudrama on Channel 5. What part of that sentence screams "quality"?!
There's a theory that Ian Watkins – the paedophile from Lost Prophets, not H from Steps – is going to be releasing new material from prison. The fact that he thinks anyone is going to buy it is unbe-fucking-lievable. Please note the lack of Gary Glitter CDs in your local HMV.

What Are Non Ablative Lasers?
A non-ablative laser generates beams of coherent light using a very narrow range of wavelengths.The light beams selectively target and heat the water chromophore in the skin. As a result the temperature of the tissue rises which stimulates neocollagenesis. There are various forms of non-ablative lasers and they typically have a good water absorption mechanism that impacts the water chromophores but does not cause ablation. Fiber lasers are commonly used for non-ablative treatments. A fiber laser is an optical fiber that is "doped" with elements designed to generate a laser beam at the desired wavelength. Erbium Glass is a typical fiber laser used for this purpose.
How Does A Non Ablative Laser Work?
The non-ablative laser uses a wavelength that does not cause the water in the tissue to evaporate (ablate) but rather the laser energy heats the tissue in a controlled manner. The rise in temperature stimulates neocollagenesis, a process in which new collagen is produced by the body. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is responsible for giving the skin its elasticity and suppleness. By producing new collagen the skin regains is youthful appearance. Since the treatment does not involve tissue evaporation or ablation, treatment downtime is significantly reduced, which is also why it is preferred over ablative treatments by many patients.

Don't get me wrong. I love candy – chocolatey, fruity, caramel-y, you name it. I'm a sugar fanatic, but I'm also a book fanatic! I've read so many great middle grade and YA books lately, and I didn't realize until today that I haven't written a post about my reading life since July – when it was hot and humid and I had the luxury of sitting on my front porch reading my days away. Well, I'm not sitting on my front porch anymore, too cold, but I'm still living the reading life because I have 8th grade students who need good reading role models and need knowledgeable adults to help guide them on their paths toward a reading life.
Tonight, many of my 8th grade students are out enjoying Halloween – the scares, the candy, and the fun! They are being kids. Just kids. Not worrying about anything but having a good time. That's what being a kid is about. Tomorrow, I will coax them back into their reading lives after they've spent the evening (and most likely the morning) inhaling sugary treats because being a kid should involve reading as well. Reading allows kids (and adults) to just be kids. Immersing yourself into a world that is different from your current reality, getting lost in a book about a historical event, and finding yourself in a book. We have been in school for two months now, and most of my 8th graders have become readers – at least in my classroom – even of they told me, "I hate reading," at the beginning of the year. Peruse the books – perfect for teens and adults – listed below.
Here are some of my favorite books I've read in the last three months.
High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo–his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents' traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance–"Date Korean"–which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful–and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they'll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it's the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy's fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love–or himself–at all.
To Night Owl From Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer
From two extraordinary authors comes a moving, exuberant, laugh-out-loud novel about friendship and family, told entirely in emails and letters.
Avery Bloom, who's bookish, intense, and afraid of many things, particularly deep water, lives in New York City. Bett Devlin, who's fearless, outgoing, and loves all animals as well as the ocean, lives in California. What they have in common is that they are both twelve years old, and are both being raised by single, gay dads.
When their dads fall in love, Bett and Avery are sent, against their will, to the same sleepaway camp. Their dads hope that they will find common ground and become friends–and possibly, one day, even sisters.
But things soon go off the rails for the girls (and for their dads too), and they find themselves on a summer adventure that neither of them could have predicted. Now that they can't imagine life without each other, will the two girls (who sometimes call themselves Night Owl and Dogfish) figure out a way to be a family?
Hope and Other Punch Lines by Julie Buxbaum
Sometimes looking to the past helps you find your future.
Abbi Hope Goldstein is like every other teenager, with a few smallish exceptions: her famous alter ego, Baby Hope, is the subject of internet memes, she has asthma, and sometimes people spontaneously burst into tears when they recognize her. Abbi has lived almost her entire life in the shadow of the terrorist attacks of September 11. On that fateful day, she was captured in what became an iconic photograph: in the picture, Abbi (aka "Baby Hope") wears a birthday crown and grasps a red balloon; just behind her, the South Tower of the World Trade Center is collapsing.
Now, fifteen years later, Abbi is desperate for anonymity and decides to spend the summer before her seventeenth birthday incognito as a counselor at Knights Day Camp two towns away. She's psyched for eight weeks in the company of four-year-olds, none of whom have ever heard of Baby Hope.
Too bad Noah Stern, whose own world was irrevocably shattered on that terrible day, has a similar summer plan. Noah believes his meeting Baby Hope is fate. Abbi is sure it's a disaster. Soon, though, the two team up to ask difficult questions about the history behind the Baby Hope photo. But is either of them ready to hear the answers?
Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor
This poignant and joyful novel is filled with meaningful moments and emotional resonance.
Addie is waiting for normal. But Addie's mother has an all-or-nothing approach to life: a food fiesta or an empty pantry, her way or no way.
Addie's mother is bipolar, and she often neglects Addie. All-or-nothing never adds up to normal, and it can't bring Addie home, where she wants to be with her half-sisters and her stepfather. But Addie never stops hoping that one day, maybe, she'll find normal.
The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora by Pablo Cartaya
Save the restaurant. Save the town. Get the girl. Make Abuela proud. Can thirteen-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all or is he in for a BIG, EPIC FAIL?
For Arturo, summetime in Miami means playing basketball until dark, sipping mango smoothies, and keeping cool under banyan trees. And maybe a few shifts as junior lunchtime dishwasher at Abuela's restaurant. Maybe. But this summer also includes Carmen, a cute poetry enthusiast who moves into Arturo's apartment complex and turns his stomach into a deep fryer. He almost doesn't notice the smarmy land developer who rolls into town and threatens to change it. Arturo refuses to let his family and community go down without a fight, and as he schemes with Carmen, Arturo discovers the power of poetry and protest through untold family stories and the work of Jose Marti.
The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X. R. Pan
Leigh Chen Sanders is absolutely certain about one thing: When her mother died by suicide, she turned into a bird.
Leigh, who is half Asian and half white, travels to Taiwan to meet her maternal grandparents for the first time. There, she is determined to find her mother, the bird. In her search, she winds up chasing after ghosts, uncovering family secrets, and forging a new relationship with her grandparents. And as she grieves, she must try to reconcile the fact that on the same day she kissed her best friend and longtime secret crush, Axel, her mother was taking her own life.
Alternating between real and magic, past and present, friendship and romance, hope and despair, The Astonishing Color of After is a novel about finding oneself through family history, art, grief, and love.
The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden
Some people can do their homework. Some people get to have crushes on boys. Some people have other things they've got to do.
Seventh-grader Zoey has her hands full as she takes care of her much younger siblings after school every day while her mom works her shift at the pizza parlor. Not that her mom seems to appreciate it. At least there's Lenny, her mom's boyfriend—they all get to live in his nice, clean trailer.
At school, Zoey tries to stay under the radar. Her only friend Fuchsia has her own issues, and since they're in an entirely different world than the rich kids, it's best if no one notices them.
Zoey thinks how much easier everything would be if she were an octopus: eight arms to do eight things at once. Incredible camouflage ability and steady, unblinking vision. Powerful protective defenses.
Unfortunately, she's not totally invisible, and one of her teachers forces her to join the debate club. Even though Zoey resists participating, debate ultimately leads her to see things in a new way: her mom's relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia's situation, and her own place in this town of people who think they're better than her. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, even if it means risking the most stable home she's ever had?
A Place to Belong by Cynthia Kadohata
A Japanese-American family, reeling from their ill treatment in the Japanese internment camps, gives up their American citizenship to move back to Hiroshima, unaware of the devastation wreaked by the atomic bomb in this piercing look at the aftermath of World War II by Newbery Medalist Cynthia Kadohata.
World War II has ended, but while America has won the war, twelve-year-old Hanako feels lost. To her, the world, and her world, seems irrevocably broken.
America, the only home she's ever known, imprisoned then rejected her and her family—and thousands of other innocent Americans—because of their Japanese heritage, because Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Japan, the country they've been forced to move to, the country they hope will be the family's saving grace, where they were supposed to start new and better lives, is in shambles because America dropped bombs of their own—one on Hiroshima unlike any other in history. And Hanako's grandparents live in a small village just outside the ravaged city.
The country is starving, the black markets run rampant, and countless orphans beg for food on the streets, but how can Hanako help them when there is not even enough food for her own brother?
Hanako feels she could crack under the pressure, but just because something is broken doesn't mean it can't be fixed. Cracks can make room for gold, her grandfather explains when he tells her about the tradition of kintsukuroi—fixing broken objects with gold lacquer, making them stronger and more beautiful than ever. As she struggles to adjust to find her place in a new world, Hanako will find that the gold can come in many forms, and family may be hers.
Thou shalt kill.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
This moving debut novel explores the cultural divides around class and the gun debate through the eyes of one girl, living on the edges of society, trying to find her way forward.
Restart by Gordon Korman
Chase's memory just went out the window.

Pretty soon, it's not only a question of who Chase is–it's a question of who he was . . . and who he's going to be.
From the #1 bestselling author of Swindle and Slacker, Restart is the spectacular story of a kid with a messy past who has to figure out what it means to get a clean start.
House Arrest by K.A. Holt
Stealing is bad.
But my brother Levi is always so sick, and his medicine is always so expensive.
I didn't think anyone would notice,
if I took that credit card,
if, in one stolen second,
I bought Levi's medicine.
But someone did notice.
Now I have to prove I'm not a delinquent, I'm not a total bonehead.
That one quick second turned into
juvie
a judge
a year of house arrest,
a year of this court-ordered journal,
a year to avoid messing up
and being sent back to juvie
so fast my head will spin.
It's only 1 year.
Only 52 weeks.

Only 8,760 hours.

Sorry For Your Loss by Jessie Ann Foley
Printz Honor winner and William Morris Award finalist Jessie Ann Foley's latest YA novel is a comitragic coming-of-age story about an awkward teenage guy who, after the loss of his brother, finds healing and a sense of self where he least expected to.
As the youngest of eight, painfully average Pup Flanagan is used to flying under the radar. He's barely passing his classes. He lets his longtime crush walk all over him. And he's in no hurry to decide on a college path. The only person who ever made him think he could be more was his older brother Patrick, the family's golden child. But that was before Patrick died suddenly, leaving Pup with a family who won't talk about it and acquaintances who just keep saying, "sorry for your loss."
But when Pup excels at a photography assignment he thought he'd bomb, things start to come into focus. His dream girl shows her true colors. An unexpected friend exposes Pup to a whole new world, right under his nose. And the photograph that was supposed to show Pup a way out of his grief ultimately reveals someone else who is still stuck in their own. Someone with a secret regret Pup never could have imagined.

Q: can't login at my ubuntu server Today, after I rebooted my server, I can't login at my server.
Everything works well.(like mysql or apache)
But I just can not login my server.
When I type any key(like `a' or '1') than console require the password.
I can't type my ID at my server!
ssh works fine but I need to use my server directly for using gui.

A: Have you tried switching to another TTY on the box? ALT+F1–F7
All else fails you can reset root pw (if that is your problem) by restarting into runlevel 0, single user mode, or whatever it is called in ubuntu. To do this you simply append init 1 to your grub command before boot/init.

Dancers host home quad, take home CLC honors at league championships
1994: Fluorescent bulbs banned from trash
This week in history in Douglas County.
Written By: Rachel Barduson | Aug 8th 2019 - 10am.
Rachel Barduson
1919, 100 years ago: In Brandon News: Mr. Carl Augdahl took out a Moline 8-foot binder the other day and it is rambling along, heat or no heat, taking the place of his horses. It is interesting to see how easy the whole outfit operates by one man from the binder seat. You should make it a point to see this outfit at work when Carl cuts his flax. This is one of the Moline tractors sold last fall by C.J. Newhouse.
1969, 50 years ago: A 12,000 square-foot storage building for 1,500 snowmobiles is being completed by the North Central Sno-Jet company, a subsidiary of Alexandria Boat Works. An administration building to provide 6,000 square feet for offices, parts, accessories and racing team headquarters will also be constructed. Alexandria Boat Works is the largest distributors of Sno-Jet snowmobiles in the United States.
Thirty-three students will begin classes for the first time in the new Avionics building at the airport. The building was erected by the carpentry classes of the technical school, under the direction of Melvin Nerdahl. Next fall 100 students are expected to begin the avionics classes.
Knute Nelson Memorial Home in Alexandria will double in size in the near future, with bids already in on about $750,000 worth of construction and furnishings. The new addition will be chiefly to the east of the present building at 204 – 12th Avenue East, and will provide 101 rooms for residents, as compared with the present 40.
1994, 25 years ago: The Douglas County Hospital is due for a new mammography unit and a new CT (computerized tomography) scanner unit. The two items together could cost up to $1 million. The current CT unit was purchased about 10 years ago, used to "see" inside the human body and help diagnose problems – especially brain ailments or injuries – without the need for invasive procedures.
Starting this week, all fluorescent light bulbs in Minnesota are banned from household trash. Instead, fluorescents of all shapes and sizes, including compact, are to be recycled. The ban is authorized by a 1993 state law designed to decrease the amount of mercury in the solid waste stream.
2009, 10 years ago: An estimated 900 people helped raise close to $2,000 during the "Battle of the Bats" charity softball game between the Douglas County Law Enforcement team and the Alexandria Fire Department team. Proceeds from the game will be given to Alexandria Area Special Olympics and The Windmill Project. The firefighters walked away with a 15-7 win; however, Fire Chief Shane Schmidt, who hit the only home run of the game (an "in-the-park" home run), said the charities are the real winners.
Just for fun 1969 – 50 years ago: The big DC-7, which was given to the Alexandria Technical School by Northwest Airlines, is powered in its electrical system, so all instruments can function. Students will work on the plane, as well as on two Navy rescue Beechcraft planes. One of these planes may be made flyable, so advanced students can observe in-flight operation of all control systems.
Sports Trivia 1994 – 25 years ago: Arlo Kluver of Alexandria recorded the seventh ace of his career at the Alexandria Golf Club as he used an 8-iron to put the ball in the cup on the par-3, 150-yard No. 7 hole. Kluver was golfing alone at the time but his ace was witnessed by golfers on the eighth tee box.
1994 – 25 years ago: Carlos State Park is featuring a special children's program, the Hidden Lake Trail, which starts at the beach and follows the lake to the group camp, then encircles Hidden Lake and returns to the beach. The trail is the oldest part of the park with an old growth maple-basswood forest.

How to Mitigate COVID-19's Potentially Catastrophic Impact on Americans' Retirement Readiness
By Spencer Williams
President and CEO of Retirement Clearinghouse
It's bad enough that more than 50 million Americans have filed claims for unemployment benefits since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. But in addition to the disruption, financial hardship, and uncertainty that unemployed Americans (and their families) are experiencing right now, this crisis also threatens their financial security during retirement.
As I have written many times before in this column, defined contribution plan participants will seriously diminish their retirement savings if they prematurely cash out all or part of their 401(k) savings account balances. According to our research, a hypothetical 30-year-old who cashes out a 401(k) account with $5,000 today would forfeit up to $52,000 in earnings they would have accrued by age 65, if we assume the account would have grown by 7% per year. In addition, the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) estimates that the average American worker will change employers 9.9 times over a 45-year period. With at least 33% and as many as 47% of plan participants cashing out their retirement savings following a job change, according to the Savings Preservation Working Group, that means workers switching jobs could cash out as many as four times over a working career, devastating their ability to fund a secure retirement.
Even before COVID-19 and "social distancing" became part of the national lexicon, cash-outs posed a huge problem to Americans' retirement prospects. At the beginning of this year, EBRI estimated that the U.S. retirement system loses $92 billion in savings annually due to 401(k) cash-outs by plan participants after they change jobs.
When we correlated EBRI data with research from other sources, we also concluded that the most vulnerable—including minorities and low-income workers—are at much higher risk of cashing out. While 33% to 47% of all job-changing participants cash out within one year of switching employers, that statistic rises to 63% for Blacks and 57% for Hispanics, and to 50% for those earning between $20,000 and $30,000 per year.
Participants Cashing Out Up to 1 Year After Changing Jobs
Sources: EBRI, Fidelity, and Ariel/Aon Hewitt
These alarming trends were uncovered long prior to the pandemic and lockdown. Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act stimulus has temporarily eased limits, penalties, and taxes on early withdrawals from retirement savings accounts made by December 31, 2020. While the CARES Act measures are clearly well-intentioned, participants who take advantage of these provisions risk creating a long-term problem while resolving short-term liquidity needs.
Heightening the temptation to make 401(k) withdrawals is the recent expiration of another CARES Act provision—the extra $600 weekly payments to Americans who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These additional federal unemployment benefits expired at the end of July, and as of this writing no deal to extend them has been reached in Congress. For Americans who had been relying on this benefit, or continue to experience financial hardship and stress about paying expenses, it is understandable that 401(k) savings could look like an attractive source of emergency liquidity.
However, given the long-term damage that cash-outs inflict on retirement outcomes, plan sponsors and recordkeepers should take this opportunity, as fiduciaries, to educate their current and terminated participants about the importance of tapping into their 401(k) savings only as an absolute last resort.
Institutionalizing Portability can Help
The lack of a seamless process for transporting 401(k) assets from job to job causes many participants to view cashing out as the most convenient option. And without an easy way to locate the mailing addresses of lost and missing terminated participants, sponsors and recordkeepers are unable to ensure holders of small accounts receive notifications about the status of their plan benefits.
Fortunately for participants, sponsors, and recordkeepers, technology solutions enabling the institutionalization of plan-to-plan asset portability have been live for three years. These innovations include auto portability, the routine, standardized, and automated movement of a retirement plan participant's 401(k) savings account from their former employer's plan to an active account in their current employer's plan.
Auto portability is powered by "locate" technology and a "match" algorithm, which work together to find lost and missing participants, and initiate the process of moving assets into active accounts in their current-employer plans.
By adopting auto portability, sponsors and recordkeepers can not only discourage participants from cashing out, but also eliminate the need for automatic cash-outs. And these advantages come at a time when the hard-earned savings of tens of millions of Americans are at risk of being removed from the U.S. retirement system.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, EBRI estimated that if all plan participants had access to auto portability, up to $1.5 trillion in savings, measured in today's dollars, would be preserved in our country's retirement system over a 40-year period. Now more than ever, the institutionalization of portability by sponsors and recordkeepers is essential for helping Americans achieve financial security in retirement.

Q: How to access the main dialogContext from a top level dialog? I am developing a bot using botbuilder v4 sdk for Node.js,
In the main middleware, we have the onTurn() function in which we create the dialog context (dc).
My question is how to access and modify the dialog context from a specific top level dialog?
async onTurn(context) {
  ...
  const dc = await this.dialogs.createContext(context);
  ...
}

I was thinking about creating a property in the conversationState and load the dc into it, then, get its value from the dialog.
Is this a recommended way?

So MasterCard dropped its name from its logo.
MasterCard is now joining the likes of Nike & Apple, who rely on an image and not a name in most of their visual communications.
All the stories, the emotional associations, can now be carried by a more simplified expression, by this epic minimalism," says Brian Collins, the founder of design firm Collins.
But what does this mean for our industry?
Our main takeaway is this: Brands can reap the benefits of consistency! And it has to be carried out in phases.
Of course, it also has to make sense with the company's strategic growth, but essentially, this move was enabled because MasterCard has truly owned their symbol over the years, they communicated incessantly and they got to this point in phases and not in ONE shocking move.
Clearly, this is not for everyone, it takes time, steady communications over years to really stake claim over a symbol and the will and resources to educate your audience nonstop. Also, this can work for some brands, but not all – for some, the name is its brand asset.
Most importantly, studying the move from an execution point of view is crucial; "The places brands need to appear are completely different and much more varied," says Red Antler's Heyward. "Yes, you need to see something tiny, but you also need to see things in motion. Today, it's less about owning a symbol or word and more about flexibility—how do you build a range of tools to communicate your brand?"

Since I launched the website, my stress level is reduced and my energy is settled down. Unconsciously, the project must have stressed me a lot.
I finished the project earlier than planned because my previous site was falling down. No other choices. Even if I designed only 80% of the new site, it still looks good. 20% of details are waiting for my additional touch.
If I work 1-2 hours every day, I can finish the first stage of the project in a week. The whole project will take a couple of months. I will add a big chunk of content about SEO service.
My lesson: Don't wait until it's 100% ready. 80% is enough. Launch it first, then fix it step by step without being stressed out.
Now, my sleep pattern went back to normal. My physical condition is good, especially my headache is gone.


A strong cold front that will spark rounds of storms this evening may also cool us down enough to produce some freezing drizzle early Thursday morning from midnight to 9AM. Winter weather advisories are in effect for Benton, Washington, and Sequoyah (OK) counties.
Up to a tenth of an inch of ice is possible. Travel could become treacherous Thursday morning.


"I want to use a slip switch to control a model railroad turnout. I have fabricated linkages using Evergreen Styrene and heavy florist wire. The connection between the turnout points and the slip switch is two pieces of wire connected with a styrene tube forming one continuous rod. Try as I may, I have yet to find an adhesive that will significantly bond the wire inside the styrene tube. Even though I allow an adhesive to cure for 24 hours, after a few toggles on the switch, the wire becomes loose and is no longer attached.
Any thoughts on what adhesive I should pursue? Thus far I have used Insta-Cure CA Super Thin, Maxi-Cure CA Extra Thick, Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement, and Red Baron Adhesive (Thin and Medium).
Hi Bert. Have you thought about making a mechanical connection between the wires and the styrene? You could drill a small hole near each end of the tube and thread a small setscrew that is slightly larger than the hole to secure the wire inside the tube. You could also try scoring the wires to create a rough surface on the ends of the wires and use an adhesive/glue that melts the styrene so that it adheres to the grooves in the wire. Good luck with your project.
I like the suggestion to score the ends of the wire.
The only way I can think to get the adhesive to work would be to try and make a twist in the wire as it goes into the styrene tube so you aren't trying to glue a straight piece of wire. ie some sort of spiral so that the wire can't just pull out of the glue. But I have to say that a mechanical connection as Timothy suggests sounds a lot better.
I use piano wire for this at 1.3mm solid core we have it available at our craft stores here it is available in 1 meter lengths and i run this through flexible curtain wire at corners or at points i use model aircraft plastic quadrants screwed to the base board so that they can move. the wire if bent to a right angle it will fit in the holes in the quadrant.
If you really must use a metal wire to styrene tube, a combination of a spiral on the wire, or flatten the end 1/4 inch (Hammer!) and add a couple of holes in the styrene and force the wire in with some epoxy adhesive. The "wedge " of wire should give a bit more grip on the wire, and the holes in the styrene give more grip for the adhesive.
I think the idea of Piano wire in a flexible curtain "wire" is a much better idea, much more sound (pardon the pun).
If you are using styrene for your mechanical linkage, it must be a straight line push/pull. Then why do you need the styrene? Why not use just wire? You shouldn't need more than 1/32 inch wire (~0.75 mm) to operate your turnout anyway.


Down-hole torpedo-shaped vibrators for soil compaction are generally termed vibroflots. The vibroflots generate a horizontal mode of vibration. TerraSystems owns both hydraulic and electric vibroflots for soil compaction.
Our electric vibroflots operate at a frequency of 30 Hz and our hydraulic units operate at frequencies of up to 50 Hz. The diameter of the units vary from 12 inches to 16 inches.
