Citrus fruits and juices are an important source of bioactive compounds; called secondary metabolites, including phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. Several studies have demonstrated the antioxidant properties of these citrus fruits. Grapefruit, Citrus paradisi scientifically called is one of these citrus essentially consumed for its medical and antioxidant properties due to the presence of flavonoids, vitamin C and tannins. Characterization of two varieties of grapefruit, namely; citrus paradisi yellow and blood, was carried out through a phytochemical screening. The results obtained showed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, derivatives of anthracene, quinones, several other secondary metabolites that can be responsible for important therapeutic properties and use answered in the medical and cosmetic fields.

Ethnobotanical Study: Medicinal plants commercialized in the province of Laayoune; identification and use
[ Etude ethnobotanique: Plantes médicinales commercialisées à la province de Laâyoune; identification et utilisation ]
Author(s): Ouafae El Yahyaoui, N. Ait ouaaziz, A. Sammama, S. Kerrouri, B. Bouabid, L.A. Lrhorfi, L. Zidane, and R. Bengueddour
Traditional medicine remains the principal remedy for a vast majority of people to solve their health problems, not only because it is an important part of cultural heritage, but also for reasons of limited financial means. It was passed from one generation to another through oral communication, taking the risk of significant loss of awareness. The ethnobotanical survey is essential for the identification of medicinal plants and their uses.
The objective of our study was to identify the different traditional therapeutic uses of medicinal plants commercialized, and to document this traditional knowledge related to the use of these plants in the province La

And by bra, I mean support.
I've been thinking about support lately, and it seems to be in the air. Last week I put aside a whole workday morning to read and take notes on Leonie's handbook for hiring a team to support you. I'm in the process of bringing in some extra help (more on that later) and I wanted Leonie's take on it.
Does my business needs more support?
The answer is, every time, yes.
But not every business needs the same kind of support. There are so many ways to get support in your business – free or paid, temporary or permanent, deep or surface.
So, yes, your business (and you!) probably need more support than you have right now. Here's a (partial) list of where you might gather support.
Where could your adventure use more support? Where could you find it?
PS. If you're thinking about hiring support for your business, Leonie is doing a live Q+A for members of her Academy. I'm a member (& affiliate) and I love the resources inside (I never use the forum and still get tons out of it), so I heartily recommend joining and asking her questions!

Inductive Definition and Domain Theoretic Properties of Fully Abstract
Vladimir Sazonov
A construction of fully abstract typed models for PCF and PCF^+ (i.e., PCF + "parallel conditional function"), respectively, is presented. It is based on general notions of sequential computational strategies and wittingly consistent non-deterministic strategies introduced by the author in the seventies. Although these notions of strategies are old, the definition of the fully abstract models is new, in that it is given level-by-level in the finite type hierarchy. To prove full abstraction and non-dcpo domain theoretic properties of these models, a theory of computational strategies is developed. This is also an alternative and, in a sense, an analogue to the later game strategy semantics approaches of Abramsky, Jagadeesan, and Malacaria; Hyland and Ong; and Nickau. In both cases of PCF and PCF^+ there are definable universal (surjective) functionals from numerical functions to any given type, respectively, which also makes each of these models unique up to isomorphism. Although such models are non-omega-complete and therefore not continuous in the traditional terminology, they are also proved to be sequentially complete (a weakened form of omega-completeness), "naturally" continuous (with respect to existing directed "pointwise", or "natural" lubs) and also "naturally" omega-algebraic and "naturally" bounded complete -- appropriate generalisation of the ordinary notions of domain theory to the case of non-dcpos.


Geologist Nele Meckler works on reconstruction of past climate conditions. She has now received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council to build her own research group at the University of Bergen.
LOOKING FOR CLIMATE CLUES: New ERC Starting Grant recipient Nele Meckler specialises in reconstructions of past climate using cave rock and ocean sediments, including foraminifera shells, like this ammonia tepida shell from San Francisco Bay.
Nele Meckler views the ERC Starting Grant (StG) as an opportunity to pursue a risky project for a sufficiently long time to have good chances for success.
Her background is in environmental science and geology. She specialises in reconstructions of past climate using ocean sediments and cave rock (stalagmite) as archives.
"I reconstruct past temperatures in the ocean and on land on a variety of timescales, from a few thousand years back to millions of years, to better understand the processes and their connections within our complex climate system. Ultimately, these insights will allow us to make better predictions for future climate change under rising levels of greenhouse gases," says Meckler, before explaining what she has received the ERC grant for.
The climate researcher is currently at ETH Zürich, but will move to Bergen and the University of Bergen (UiB) in January 2015. She will be working at UiB's Department of Earth Science and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.
"The Bjerknes Centre is famous and a great environment for this kind of research. Actually already as a student, when I was looking for a PhD project on this subject, I contacted someone in Bergen, but there was no project available at that time. I am now very much looking forward to becoming part of this dynamic community of researchers," she says.
"To get a talented young researcher like Nele is wonderful news for the department. She represents outstanding professionalism combined with a collaborative spirit, employing new ideas and approaches to research," says Professor Gunn Mangerud, head of UiB's Department of Earth Science.
According to Mangerud, Meckler's research goes straight to the heart of the department's strategic goals.
"We have emphasised cutting-edge research in palaeoclimatology and to seek opportunities through new methodological approaches. Nele does both. We are already in the process of facilitating the purchase of new equipment and the building of lab facilities so that she can get off to a flying start," says the department head.
Mangerud also stresses that the ERC grant is important overall for the climate research environment in Bergen.
"Having a ERC Starting Grant researcher at our department is something that benefits all of the climate research groups in Bergen. It helps to further develop the field and it adds state of the art research. Nele's project is not only positive for us at the Department of Earth Science, but it is also important for all the participants in and around the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research," she says.
Mangerud hopes the department's increased focus on securing external funding and the arrival of Nele Meckler will contribute to securing more ERC grants for the department in the years ahead.
UiB's Rector Dag Rune Olsen is also excited about the ERC StG recipient soon arriving in Bergen.
"Climate research is a trademark of the research environment in Bergen. When a researcher of the calibre of Nele Meckler brings her ERC Starting Grant to UiB, this is beneficial to all of the research conducted at the university," says Rector Olsen.
Meckler has been preparing for her January arrival in Bergen, where she first plans to set up the facility needed for her project – a mass spectrometer – within the stable isotope lab at the Department of Earth Science, which is headed by Professor Ulysses Ninnemann.
"This will take a while, but I can profit from the infrastructure and expertise already available. Then I will focus on improving the method for small sample amounts, together with a postdoctoral fellow, and in collaboration with my current research group at ETH Zürich. Once we know how successful these modifications are, we can start analysing the shells we pick from the sediments. We will also need to do a few validation studies, to make sure we get the correct temperatures," says Nele Meckler.
Researcher Nele Meckler will be at the Department of Earth Science at the University of Bergen from January 2015.

Super Homer (France) ou Gros jambon (Québec) () est le  de la saison 21 de la série télévisée Les Simpson.

Synopsis
Bart et Milhouse entrent chez le vendeur de BD pour se moquer de lui, celui-ci est furax car ils n'ont aucune idée de la valeur des exemplaires rares qu'il possède. Les garçons découvrent alors les planches d'une bande dessinée inédite et inconnue. Cela raconte l'histoire d'Everyman, homme ordinaire qui se transforme en super-héros pour combattre le crime en absorbant les pouvoirs des héros de chaque BD qu'il touche. Bart et Milhouse sont captivés, à la grande surprise du vendeur de BD, qui craignait la critique. Il décide de la publier à compte d'auteur et celle-ci rencontre un grand succès auprès des enfants de l'école, puis dans tout le pays. À tel point que des producteurs hollywoodiens en achètent les droits pour en réaliser un film. Le vendeur n'accepte qu'à condition de pouvoir choisir l'acteur qui interprétera le héros.

Un casting est organisé, mais personne ne convient pour le rôle, quand soudain Homer entre par hasard. Le vendeur de BD a trouvé l'acteur idéal et l'engage malgré les réserves des producteurs. Homer doit alors perdre beaucoup de poids et se muscler. La production du film recrute les services d'un entraîneur de célébrités, Lyle McCarty. Celui-ci le soumet à un entraînement intensif et à un régime draconien. Homer souffre beaucoup, mais finit par devenir mince et musclé. Le tournage peut commencer, mais Lyle étant parti, Homer a toutes les peines du monde à résister à la nourriture en abondance sur le plateau. Il recommence à grossir et met la production du film en danger.

Audience américaine
L'audience aux États-Unis a atteint lors de sa première diffusion 8,31 millions de téléspectateurs.

Références culturelles
 Le titre original est une parodie d'un ancien slogan de Burger King « Home of the Whopper ».
 On voit une affiche de Swatchmen, parodie de Watchmen sur le mur de la boutique de BD, ainsi qu'un peu plus tard une affiche de Flash.
 Le vendeur de BD fait allusion à la toute première apparition de Spider-Man. C'était dans une histoire publiée dans le quinzième numéro du comic book Amazing Fantasy en juin 1962.
 Il s'écroule ensuite sur une pile de mains d'Hulk invendus.
 Découvrant la BD d'Everyman, Milhouse remarque que ce n'est pas un héros de Marvel, DC ou Wildstorm et que celui-ci absorbe les pouvoirs des BD qu'il touche, comme Iron Man ou Plastic Man, le gangster préférant alors aller à la prison de Sing Sing.
 Le vendeur de BD, qui a peur que son œuvre soit ridiculisée sur internet, fait des références à Spock, au Dark Knight et à South Park.
 La couverture de la BD d'Everyman Gone Dog fait sans doute référence à la couverture du comics batman « un deuil dans la famille » et décrit la mort de Marmaduke.
 Au cours de l'épisode, Nelson Muntz peint une réplique parodiée de Guernica, l'une des plus célèbres œuvres de Pablo Picasso. On entend alors Une petite musique de nuit de Mozart.
 Dans la vitrine de la boutique Mylar Baggins, référence à Bilbo Baggins (Bilbon Sacquet), on aperçoit le casque de Boba Fett et une panoplie de Wonder Woman. Le stand The Maltese Vulcan est une référence au Faucon maltais et à Star Trek.
 Le vendeur de BD mentionne le jeu Stratego et la productrice le nom de Brett Ratner (et non Brett Rapper comme la version française !).
 Krusty utilise un fax compatible avec l'Amiga, un des plus puissants micro-ordinateurs des années 1980, or aucun fax n'était fabriqué pour fonctionner avec l'Amiga.
 Krusty caricature le président américain Richard Nixon.
 Sur les murs à l'entrée de la société de production cinématographique fictive Ginormous Pictures, figurent des affiches parodiant Star Wars et Alvin et les Chipmunks.
 L'entraîneur Lyle McCarthy  presente à Homer une photo de Brad et Angelina auparavant obèses. Le vendeur de BD devenu riche a adopté un enfant cambodgien, comme des stars comme Angelina Jolie, et l'a prénommé Prius, clin d'œil aux noms d'enfants de stars ridicules.
 Quand l'entraîneur demande à Homer pourquoi il se goinfre, celui-ci répond "Ben, on a pas toujours le temps de se masturber", ce dernier mot a été censuré par un bip .
 Il veut entraîner Homer sur le titre Eye of the Tiger du groupe de rock américain Survivor, mais ce dernier préfère réaliser son entraînement sur le titre Heroes de David Bowie.
 L'entraîneur de Homer fait référence aux films Pur Sang, la légende de Seabiscuit ainsi qu'à L'Œuvre de Dieu, la part du Diable, en parlant avec l'acteur principal Tobey Maguire, il mentionne également John Travolta.
 Le personnage d'Everyman remercie Captain America et Wonder Woman pour avoir absorbé leurs pouvoirs.
 Le monstre "grillon-raptor" du film avale un acteur et recrache le fauteuil de Sir Ben Kingsley.
 Apu fait référence à l'année 1961 quand tout le monde dansait le Twist again.
 Le vendeur de BD dit que ce film devient un problème de l'amplitude d'une "menace fantôme", référence à Star Wars et parle de la "poigne mortelle de Vulcain", référence à Star Trek.
 L'épisode fait référence à Batman et Robin, lorsqu'un homme dans la poubelle dit .
 Lyle McCarthy mentionne Turtle de la série Entourage.
 Dans la scène où Lyle retrouve Homer à la fin de l'avant-première du film, on peut voir les affiches Alvin et les Chipmunks 3 - Ils ont attrapé la rage (Gettin' Rabbies), Costume d'obèse (Fat Suit) avec Eddie Murphy, parodie du Professeur foldingue et Bon retour parmi nous,  Potter (Welcome Back, Mr. Potter) avec un Harry Potter vieillissant, référence aussi à Welcome Back, Kotter. Ces films sont d'abord dans cet ordre. Or, dans la scène d'après, on voit que l'affiche de costume d'obèses se retrouve en premier et que l'affiche d'Alvin et les Chipmunks 3 a disparu. Mais dans la scène encore après toutes les affiches reviennent dans l'ordre.
 Matt Groening fait une apparition dans son propre rôle.
 Cet épisode a été écrit par Seth Rogen (qui apparaît comme l'entraîneur physique d'Homer) et Evan Goldberg, les deux scénaristes de SuperGrave et C'est la fin.
 La musique du générique de fin est une référence à celle de John Williams pour le film Superman.
 C'est la cinquième fois qu'Homer perd du poids après Les Jolies Colonies de vacances, L'Abominable Homer des neiges, Homer fait la grève de la faim et Maris et larmes.
 Cet épisode est la suite spirituelle de Radioactive Man au niveau du contenu et de la structure du scénario.
 Lors du dernier tournage de l'épisode on peut apercevoir la batmobile de la série télé batman de 1960 ainsi que son costume que porte homer lorsqu'il est coincé dans la porte de sa caravane.

Te'Kila Mexican Bar & Grill
Te'Kila Mexican Bar & Grill plans to open next Wednesday with a soft opening on Monday.
The Mexican restaurant delayed its opening, that was supposed to be this week, after renovations on its location took longer than expected.
"Everyone in Jackson knows everybody," said Te'Kila's Manager Jose Gomez. "We knew if we messed up the opening, everybody would know."
Te'Kila will be located at 155 Stonebrook Place, where Applebee's used to be. The restaurant will serve traditional Mexican food and drinks like margaritas. But the restaurant also includes a full bar and other types of bar food like wings and burgers.
Gomez said that at their location in Memphis their wings are the most popular item on the menu.
Te'Kila's hours will be from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
Bite Squad food delivery
Bite Squad — a food delivery service based out of Minneapolis — is launching its online and app-based service at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, in Jackson.
"We hope to have about 30 restaurants available to serve," said Liz Sniegocki, Bite Squad's media relations manager. "You can go on the app or website and enter your address and see what's in your area."
Bite Squad is a little different than other food delivery apps because it hires all its drivers instead of contracting them out like other services.
The company is in more than 300 cities and about 65 metropolitan areas.
"Our entire growth strategy is going into these smaller areas where food delivery isn't as prevalent as a big city," Sniegocki said. "We think there is a lot of opportunities in middle America and with small cities."
Bite Squad is offering a deal to its Jackson area customers that if they order food using the app or website during the first weekend, Dec. 14 to Dec. 16, those customers will not have to pay the Bite Squad service fee on any food deliveries for a year.
Customers can access Bite Squad either on its website or app. The service is available from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
Town & Country Realtors
Town & Country Realtors longtime owner Reggie Smith sold his company on Monday to Madison County Commissioner Joey Hale (District 9).
"I'm grateful that we live in a land where people are free to pursue their dreams, and that we live in a community like Jackson," Smith said in a press release. "We are grateful to be able to pass the ownership and leadership to such a well-qualified and well-respected person in Joey Hale. We can't think of anyone better equipped to lead the company."

Smith has owned Town & Country Realtors for nearly 50 years. His behind the scenes business partner Judy Vailes is also selling her share in the realty firm to Hale.
"Mr. Smith is leaving a heritage of service. It is an honor, and I am ready for the task," Hale said.

Wood's SW59FW-Made in Sweden
Now even better and also equipped with an energy-efficient rotary compressor. It is specially designed for dehumidifying large spaces and releases more heat than it draws power! Full product description
OverviewProduct descriptionSpecificationsRelated productsAccessories
New! SW59FW is a development of Wood's test winner, DS50!
Now even better and also equipped with an energy-efficient rotary compressor. The SW59FW is specially designed for dehumidifying large spaces and releases more heat than it draws power! Use the SW59FW in your large basement to quickly get rid of your moisture problems, while drying your laundry and giving you a significant heat pump effect. The SW series has a new intelligent defrosting system, i-EcoDefrost, developed and manufactured in Sweden which provides faster and better defrosting and operation, allowing the machine to dehumidify faster, and more energy-efficient.
The SW59FW has an optimal dehumidification capacity from +2°C to +35°C, effectively drying large areas, e.g., basements, drying rooms, and shared laundry rooms. It is also fitted with wheels and handles, making it easy to move.
The SW59FW contains R290, an environmentally friendly refrigerant, significantly more energy-efficient than HFC gases!
When you register your Wood's dehumidifier and replace the SMF filter once a year, you can receive as much as 6 years of warranty coverage. Make sure you keep all receipts, even for the filters, and register at warranty-woods.com.
Wood's SW59FW is equipped with a control unit that ensures that the cooling coils are defrosted if necessary. The control unit turns off the compressor, which stops the cooling of the coils. The fan continues to pull the room-tempered air through the dehumidifier, thus melting the ice and the water flowing into the container. The defrosting system allows the dehumidifier to operate as low as +2°C. At lower temperatures, the dehumidifier automatically switches off and restarts when the temperature has reached above 2°C for more than 5 minutes.
Wood's SW59FW is a powerful, reliable, and highly durable dehumidifier that fits in basements, garages, and other indoor spaces up to 230 m².

Q: How does debugger know the local variables' name? I begin to learn compiler.
I know that .symtab in ELF stores information about global variables and functions, but I don't find any valid information about local variables. For those local variables that are allocated on the stack, how could a debugger know their name? Are there any helpful information in ELF?
For example, here is a stupid C code:
void printLocal(){
    char c1_loc='a';
    int i_loc=1;
    char c2_loc='b';
    double d_loc=2;
    char c3_loc='c';
    float f_loc=3;
    char c4_loc='d';
    short s_loc=4;

    printf("&c1_loc = %p\n",&c1_loc);
    printf("&i_loc = %p\n",&i_loc);
    printf("&c2_loc = %p\n",&c2_loc);
    printf("&d_loc = %p\n",&d_loc);
    printf("&c3_loc = %p\n",&c3_loc);
    printf("&f_loc = %p\n",&f_loc);
    printf("&c4_loc = %p\n",&c4_loc);
    printf("&s_loc = %p\n",&s_loc);
}

And I get the .debug_info in ELF :

I need to know, will you remember me next week? No really, I'm asking y'all a question, will you remember me next week? ("yes" hopefully) Will you remember me next year? (yes) Will you remember me in 10 years? (yes) Knock knock, (Who's there?) What?! You forgot me already?
We all want to be known, even when we want to be mysterious, we hope and wait for the moment when someone will know us, really know us. And none of us wants to be forgotten. Certainly not easily forgotten. And yet sometimes anonymity raises us up to become the kind of people who cannot be forgotten.
We know there is honor in giving generously and anonymously, but sometimes we still want it to be known how generous we were anonymously. We want credit for our good work and even though we know the good work credits us regardless of anyone else knowing sometimes what we do doesn't really feel real if we are the only ones who know we did it.
There has been a trend happening in some places, most notably in Canada, but in the US as well, of folks going into Tim Horton's (the Canadian coffee shop) or through the drive through at Starbucks and paying for their own coffee and the next persons or even the next several people's. At Tim Horton's there have been a few incidents of folks paying for the next 500 customer's coffee. All of it done anonymously. Imagine the good will and good feeling that brings. There is the person who donated knowing that they are giving many people a happy surprise throughout the day. There is the server who has the joy of saying that the customer's coffee has already been paid for by a previous customer. And of course there is the regular average Joe (shall we say) who was happily surprised by an already-paid-for cup of coffee. And of course the best part of these acts of random kindness is that they encourage more. I have heard the story of a starbucks drive-through that went all day with each person buying the coffee for the person behind them. One lovely anonymous act of kindness begetting another lovely anonymous act of kindness.
There are many Jewish traditions about righteous anonymous behavior, including the anonymous lamed-vavnicks, the 36ers. We are taught that at all times there are thirty-six righteous people in the world. They are the minimum number of utterly moral people in each generation that are necessary to sustain us all. This legend may have roots in the story of Abraham's efforts to save Sodom (Gen. 18) by arguing with God against destroying the city and it becomes evident that any society must have a minimum number of decent people in order to survive (Gen. R. 49:3; Zohar I:105b; Tikkunei Zohar, 21).
Abraham and God settle at a minimum of 10, a minyan of righteous people, but later tradition seems to settle that minimum number at 36, perhaps because it is symbolic of "abundant life": Double chai, double life. According to the "thirty-six" legend, most of the thirty-six are nisterim, unknown, anonymously doing their good work unnoticed by the world. In fact, they are anonymous even to themselves. That is, these people holding us all up, doing good work regularly and without fanfare, do not themselves realize that they are one of the vitally important lamed-vavniks.
There is a however a special reward for their anonymous labors in that they are privileged to directly experience the Shekhinah, the loving and friendly face of God, and if things work out just right, one of them in each generation is suitable to be the Messiah (Sanh. 97b; Chul. 45a; Gen. R. 35:2; Mid. Teh. 5:5; Zohar 2:151a). Becoming the Messiah is, I would think, an interesting alternative to good works done in anonymity.
Anonymity of course doesn't only happen when someone does some independent act just without acknowledgement. It also happens when a crowd does something together. There can be a lot of power in a community of nameless individuals working together as a group towards a common goal. Of course this can go terribly wrong when we think about "mob-mentality" acts of violence. Large groups of people getting caught up in bad or dangerous actions because of the frenzy of doing the thing together with a large group of others. The feeling one can't be caught because there were so many. Or of course the childhood whine that "everybody is doing it." The ancient Israelites who were caught up in the creation of the golden calf might have felt like it was acceptable because so many others wanted it. A tyranny of the majority or a sense that if something is desirable by the majority, then it must be correct.
Of course we know that a majority of people thinking together can be very incorrect. History is full of stories of the majority making terrible decisions. Mark Twain warned, "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." However we also know that even when we disagree with the majority, or we believe or act differently than the rest of our community, being a member of a community means that we are held responsible for any or many of the acts of the community, even if we ourselves never took part in those acts.
We imagine ourselves able to stand apart from our community or behave differently enough that we can change the group. And sometimes this is true. Zusya once asked his brother, the wise Rabbi Elimelech: "Dear brother, we read that the souls of all men were comprised in Adam. So we too must have been present, when he ate the apple. I do not understand how I could have let him eat it! And how could you have let him eat it?" Elimelech replied: "We had to, just as everyone had to." He goes on to explain that the snake's promise that eating the fruit would make the humans like God was so powerful that Adam was consumed by this poison. And that even had all the souls of men together kept him from eating the fruit, the idea of the fruit would have still been a poison inside of him. All of humanity standing together to stop Adam from taking a bite, and yet he did it anyways. The majority could not change him or stop him.
And yet because of this act of eating, the world changed, Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden and all of us from that point on have had to deal with the consequences even if we weren't responsible for the act. Obviously this is just the first time we have to deal with the consequences of other people's behavior, unfortunately not the only time. Our lives are filled with consequences for actions we ourselves are not guilty of.
We spend a lot of time during Yom Kippur reading the Vidui, the communal confession. This comes in two forms the Al Chet and the Ashamnu. These confessions we read aloud together contain a lot of sins, which have most likely have not been committed by all of us, but have possibly been committed by some of us.
Rabbi Larry Hoffman teaches, "…the Rabbis are unanimous [but not anonymous] on the point that …Yom Kippur liturgical confession in public does not obviate our having to seek forgiveness directly and personally from the people we have wronged. Nor does confession permit us to repeat our old, erring ways, even if we do intend to ask forgiveness again next year. So, [even] with all these caveats, one of the highlights of the Yom Kippur services is [still] the repeated communal Confession of specified sins, most of which the individuals present have not themselves committed." These confessions in their current form date back to, at least the 9th century. And we can imagine that since that time, the question has been raised, "Why would we have the entire community admit to sins of which they may not be guilty, wouldn't we prefer it if each worshipper were to admit to their own sins, perhaps during a quiet silent prayer?" To be sure, there is time for individual silent meditation during the services and throughout the whole day. But that wasn't really the purpose of these set confessions.
You may have noticed that the Ashamnu is a list of alphabetical sins, both in Hebrew and in English. Now in our prayerbook the English isn't an exact translation of the Hebrew, and that is because the editors of our prayerbook wanted to preserve the sense of the poetry and the alphabetical nature of the prayer. That's why we must confess the sin of Xenophobia, we needed an X. Rabbi Hoffman again explains that, the alphabetical list should clue us in that these sins are not the real sins, they are just the ones that fit in the aleph-tof or A-Z structure. Therefore it's not what we confess to together that's important, it's that we stand together and confess that's important. That we recognize in ourselves and each other that all of us have failed to live up to our highest potential." There is both a communal sense of universal sinfulness and a communal commitment to altering humanity's sorry state.
At every service beginning last night until we hear the final Tekiah gedolah of the shofar later this evening, we will stand together and confess these universal sins. We stand together, beat our chests together and confess to these woes together not because we believe that we are responsible for these exact sins, but we know that we are all responsible for some sins and confessing together, anonymously, as it were, allows us to confess, period. This act of group confession may better encourage each of us toward silent individual confession to God or even better, out loud confession to those we've harmed. This is not an exercise in public shaming, instead it is meant as an exercise in public healing, public acceptance of our human flaws and the fact that it is easier to change when we have communal support.
There are many reasons we may act anonymously. When we make a donation without attaching our name, it is about the gift or the act of giving. We are in some ways detached from it. We gave without any expectation of acknowledgement or thanks. Knowing that the donation will be used without anyone knowing it was from us, we can give and walk away. However, sometimes, often, we do give with our names attached. In Cincinnati in the 1980s, an insurance magnet, Carl Lindner, gave the largest Federation gift each year, sometimes up to a million dollars. He was not Jewish and did not want recognition, he simply appreciated how Jews had helped him when he was young, and he loved Israel. The Federation convinced him to be the honoree at a tribute dinner, which raised more money than they had been able to raise by honoring some of his Jewish peers.
Using his name wasn't just about honoring Carl Lindner, it was about recognizing the relationship between Lindner and the Federation. By acknowledging his commitment to the organization, many more donations were made and the Federation and all of its charitable works benefitted significantly. Maimonides who is known for his ladder of charitable giving who ranks giving anonymously among the highest or best ways to give also acknowledges that when humbly using a donor's name will increase giving or increase honor, this is a higher form of donating. When we give anonymously the focus is on the giving, but when we attach our name to our giving, the focus changes to the relationship between the giver and the recipient.
There is something very beautiful about acknowledging that relationship. When the recipient can say thank you without any loss of dignity it is as good for the recipient as it is for the donor and certainly when we are talking about non-profit organizations rather than individual receivers of Tzedakah this is even more true. When we give and allow our names to be used, we are publicly attaching ourselves to the community to whom we are giving.
But atonement is a different animal altogether. When we stand together apologize together for sins that any of us or none of us have committed we are anonymously joining ourselves to our community. We are supporting each other's quest to be better without public examination of our individual errors. But when we atone directly for our own sins, acknowledging and admitting to them and making amends, then it is not about the community, it is about the act itself, both the sin and the repentance.
The dictionary tells me that the definition of anonymous is "nameless" or "undistinguished" I humbly disagree with both of these. No human act can be entirely nameless. A name is always there even if it is unacknowledged. We are always named in our actions whether publicly or privately, whether between ourselves and the community or just between ourselves and God. An anonymous act or communal prayer can be quite distinguished. Adding or removing our name from it is precisely what distinguishes it.
Ultimately it is no sin to be known, in fact it is exactly the reason for community. To bond with each other, support each other, humble each other, and elevate and honor each other. When our acts both good and questionable can be fully attributed to us it only adds to our memory. To how we are known and to how we are remembered. When a person dies we say zichron or zichronah l'vrachah may his or her memory be a blessing. And we talk about the person's loved ones being helped in their mourning by the "good name" of the deceased. This "good name" develops over time with the collection of behaviors that can be attributed to that loved one.
So I hope you will remember me, I hope you will remember my goodness and my acts of giving and I hope you will remember my struggles and my sins and you will support me through them even if you do not know I am experiencing them. And I will remember you and do my best to honor those same struggles for each of you that I ask you to do for me.
May we use our time this Yom Kippur and throughout the year to acknowledge the power of our names to understand the value of attaching them to our gifts and opinions and also to acknowledge and understand the power of anonymity. When do our names join us with community and when do they separate us. When do they bring honor and when do they bring pain. And may we all remember that we are always Kol Ami, the voice of my people. Ken Yehi Ratzon, May this be God's will.

Kehillath Israel Team
BOSTON – November 22, 2019 – Kaplan Construction, a WBE general contractor and construction management firm providing comprehensive building programs across Greater Boston, is proud to announce that it was honored with two Excellence in Construction Awards (EICA) from the Massachusetts Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC MA). The company received two Eagle awards, the highest level of recognition that can be bestowed by the ABC. Congregation Kehillath Israel received the Eagle Award in the category of Historical Restorations/Renovations over $1MM, and The Revolution Hotel received the Eagle Award in the category of Commercial Construction over $5MM.
Over 250 ABC members gathered at the Westin Waltham Hotel on November 21st to recognize and celebrate the very best construction projects its companies have to offer. prestigious Eagle Award represents the pinnacle of achievement and recognizes overall excellence regarding project execution, craftmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction.
Congregation Kehillath Israel
Kaplan oversaw the two-phased addition, restoration and renovation of the historic Congregation Kehillath Israel (KI) in Brookline, Mass.
Phase one consisted of an extensive exterior renovation of the existing sanctuary building and schoolhouse on-campus buildings, which were originally constructed in 1924. Phase two of the project included the interior renovation of the sanctuary and adjacent school building, totaling 30,000 SF. The interior renovations required heavy structural modifications with the installation of new bathrooms and modern HVAC, mechanical, and lighting systems.
During the second phase of the project, a 10,000 SF addition was completed, which included a catering kitchen and social hall that connects to the sanctuary through a sunlit atrium, and will be used for hosting wedding receptions, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and other special events. The synagogue also hosts a dedicated space for Congregation Mishkan Tefila, who has co-located with KI on their Brookline campus.
One EICA judge commented, "Excellent solutions to substantial challenges in an urban site, extreme attention to historic detail by owner and regulators." Another noted, "Kaplan brought innovative solutions to the project, while maintaining the history of the site."
The Revolution Hotel
Kaplan completed renovations for the Revolution Hotel, converting a former hostel into an urban boutique hotel located at 40 Berkeley Street in Boston. Built within the existing walls of one of America's first YWCAs, the company renovated guest rooms, bathrooms, and common areas, throughout the seven-story, 77,000 SF building. Kaplan upgraded many other interior features of the existing building, including energy-efficient windows, amenity areas, and a lobby which showcases custom concrete flooring and a custom mural. Exterior work included a full roof replacement and improvements to the private courtyard. Kaplan also did a full fit-out to accommodate a basement bar, lounge, and fitness room. The bar and lounge functions as the co-working space Conspire during the day. The hotel has been open to the public since December 2018.
The EICA judges stated this was a "very complex project, successfully completed, quality outcome."
About ABC MA
ABC MA is the largest construction trade association in the Commonwealth, representing some 470 local general contractor, subcontractor, and supplier and associate companies that employ more than 20,000 workers throughout Massachusetts.

Q: How to assign the non-nullable local variable 'user' How do I fix the following code?
The error is on the line : "return user" and is:
"The non-nullable local variable 'user' must be assigned before it can be used."
Future<UserLogin> fetchStaff(String pUserName, String pPassword) async {
  final response = await http
      .post(Uri.parse(Uri.encodeFull('$kBaseUrl/LoginService/CheckLogin')),
          headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'},
          body: '{ "pUser": "$pUserName", "pPassword": "$pPassword"}')
      .timeout(Duration(seconds: kTimeOutDuration));
  print('respose code = $response.statusCode');
  if (response.statusCode == 200) {
    // If the server did return a 200 OK response,then parse the JSON.
    return UserLogin.fromJson(json.decode(response.body));
  } else {
    // If the server did not return a 200 OK response, then throw an exception.
    //throw Exception('User or Password was incorrect.');

    globals.gblUserName = '';
    globals.gblPassword = '';
    UserLogin user;
    return user;

UserLogin? user;

At long last there is going to be a social protection policy to promote economic security for workforce in the private sector. This is good news that we must all commend the initiative.
The policy will have six protection schemes for the private sector, including retirement and pension schemes, and unemployment insurance. Lack of all these and more has been the reason why jobseekers prefer civil service to employment in the private sector.
The good thing about this policy is that it is soon going to be here although it is a little too late. We would not be talking about the need to improve private sector growth still otherwise. If private sector is the engine of economic growth as we are being told repeatedly, let it indeed be the engine of economic growth.
Hopefully the policy will help create avenues for private sector to grow and generate employment opportunities because that is the real purpose of the schemes. We could play with figures here and there every now and then, but it is important that we know unemployment issue is becoming serious, especially among youth.
Private sector will have to implement unemployment insurance scheme that will be funded by unemployment insurance tax collected from employers. The ultimate purpose of this scheme is to support workers who lose their job or are in between jobs. It is designed to protect workers and their families from dramatic shocks after they lose their job.
For the owners of businesses, this will be a challenge because their ultimate objective is to maximize profit. It is, therefore, important that the policy does not backfire. Schemes should not impede but assist private sector growth.
Creating a strong social protection system requires well-developed financial sector that is able to provide insurance and savings schemes designed to help workers protect themselves against unforeseen shocks. Do we have that? We need to bolster our financial sector before we launch the schemes because that is a critical requirement.
It is not enough that we have policies and promises. Private sector should implement the schemes and the government should see that it works.
It is critical that our private sector grow.


Excited yet? You will be!
You're taking a refreshing dip in the False Bay waters off the Cape Peninsular Coast when a colony of African penguins' swim amongst you in the pristine blue waters. Ducking and diving through the waters in between you and the crashing waves these relaxed penguins happily swim or waddle past you as you enjoy your time on Boulders Beach.
If waters are too refreshing for your liking, there is a great way to see the penguins from the warmth of the land on a wooden walkway which has many vantage points to witness the penguins frolicking in the ocean, sunbathing on the sandy beach or waddling up the magnificent boulder formations which gives the beach it's namesake.
The African penguins look cute and cuddly, but please note… You can not touch or feed the penguins.
After your close encounter with the African penguins take a leisurely drive to the nearby Simon's Town where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine and amazing seafood whilst overlooking the picturesque ocean.

Facebook Marketing Tips: Make the Most of Your Fan Page
B2C Marketing, Online Marketing, Social Media, Social Networking
If you haven't already integrated Facebook into your online marketing mix by creating a fan page, consider the most recent staggering Facebook statistics:
More than 350 million users are active on Facebook
50% of active users log in on any given day
The average user spends 55 minutes a day on Facebook
More than 1.6 million active Facebook fan pages have been created
With numbers like these — plus the fact that Google is now using social content to help determine the ranking of web pages — it's difficult to justify not creating a Facebook presence for your brand.
Take the guesswork of Facebook marketing, and follow these 5 tips for making the most of your fan page.
1. Keep Content Fresh.
Give fans a reason to come back to your page frequently by adding fresh content on a regular basis. Keep in mind that consistently updating the page doesn't require a significant amount of additional effort.
As part of your online marketing strategy, integrate your Facebook fan page with other social media channels to maximize results little extra effort:
Automatically feed new blog posts to your Facebook wall
Use a service like Ping.fm to update all of your social networks at once, including Facebook and Twitter
Set up widgets for your YouTube channel and Flickr feed to automatically add videos and images to your Facebook fan page
2. Engage New Visitors.
Facebook fan page walls can be an extremely valuable tool for communicating with customers and prospects. But for first-time visitors to fan pages, the wall can seem intimidating and exclusive. Imagine walking into a room where everyone knows one another by name and are talking about a subject you know next to nothing about.
Instead of sending new visitors directly to your fan page wall, send them to a more controlled, welcoming landing page where you can provide them with useful information about your brand, as well as a clear call to action to become a fan.
For example, TOMS Shoes – a shoe retailer than donates a pair of shoes to children in need for every pair purchased – sends first-time visitors to an inviting landing page that gives a clear idea of the company's mission. The page features a quick video that shares the TOMS Shoes story, as well as links to product and other important pages (see the image below). The approach appears to be working: TOMS Shoes has more than 185,000 fans to date.

3. Promote a Contest Via Facebook.
A great way to add value to a Facebook fan page is to offer users an incentive to become fans. Contests can serve as an enticing incentive.
For example, last fall TopRank® Online Marketing leveraged the Facebook fan page of one of its B to C clients to supplement promotions for a Halloween contest to find the best homemade costume. The client was looking for a final surge in number of participants during the final two days of the contest. TopRank incorporated a fan page tab specifically for the contest, as well as posted information about the contest on the fan page wall. In just two days, the initiative helped the client added more than enough additional new fans.
Be aware, however, that new Facebook marketing guidelines announced in November require brands, marketers and advertisers to go through an approval process for all contests. The guidelines require contests to be handled through an embedded application rather than on the page's wall, among other things.
4. Give Fans Something They Can't Get Anywhere Else.
Contests aren't the only incentives companies can offer to grow their fan base. Any item of value can entice Facebook users to become fans, including:
Free shipping for Facebook fans
An exclusive product coupon for fans
A weekly special promoted on the fan page
Sears – with 160,000+ fans – has been very successful at this approach. First-time visitors are immediately directed to an exclusive offer landing page (illustrated in the image below). By becoming a fan, users are offered $10 in coupons.
Sears' exclusive promotion for Facebook fans
Another approach to incentivize becoming a fan is to provide inside company information and breaking news on the fan page. Fans are more likely to remain faithful to your brand – and tell their friends – when they feel like an insider who has a stake in the company.
5. Encourage Interaction.
The entire notion of social media is built upon interaction and two-way communication. Facebook fan pages have little to no chance of success if they aren't interactive and engaging.
But it's not enough to sit back and wait to the interaction to begin. Get the ball rolling by:
Posting a question to solicit fans' opinions
Offering a poll that's extremely simple to respond to
Integrating existing Facebook applications such as games and quizzes
Reposting relevant, interesting information from other Facebook users
Simply creating a fan page for the sake of "Well, everyone else is doing it," isn't going to land you results. Like with any other online marketing strategy, Facebook marketing efforts must be well planned and constantly reinforced. By doing so, you can start to tap into the vast network of active Facebook users.

Akash Sharma says
Great points up there,The kind of power which Facebook has with the increasing numbers almost everyday, It has enormous opportunities for any marketer promoting a brand.
Over the few weeks I have seen some counter posts as well which have been looking for answers to questions like what can brands do apart from updating people on what the company is doing next? are the brands just focusing on some shady advertising? you have given some answers above in the post, my favorite would be the last two…Plus fan pages have also given rise to campaigns like the Vitamin Water campaign and many more which evokes the cult side of the fans…as they have a lot to do and spread.
Michelle Bowles says
Akash, you're absolutely right on the need for companies to not just promote their products and services and update fans on what they're doing. There is so much opportunity on channels like Facebook to start discussions, have some fun with quizzes and polls, and provide useful, relevant content. That's what keeps fans coming back to pages — and that's really what builds brand loyalty.
Mark McCulloch Success Coach says
I wish to take the time to thank you for such top quality information as I have been for a while searching for information to help make the most of my facebook marketing and your information today has done just that.
claudiugeanta says
Great points, nice read. You are so right about this subject, unfortunatelly some people "create" fresh content by updating their status with trivial things like "enjoying an ice cream…" This is probably one of the most important points – keep the content fresh by giving people information they cannot get anywhere else and your status in facebook will rise.
Again – thanks for the article.
Drew says
I think the most important thing for people to take in from this post is about making your customers feel like they are part of the brand. People spread the word when they have a connection with something. If you provide your facebook fans with information they can't get elsewhere, it's like an exclusive club that they feel proud to represent.
jChang says
Great post. I loved that example of TOMS Shoes. They've definitely taken marketing through FaceBook FanPages to a whole new level. Props to them as well!
Ralph Leon says
Enjoyed the post, a lot of really good points. These same marketing tips could also be used for twitter and blogging. I think interaction is one of the most important keys. Having your customers engaged will not only give you great feedback, but also give the company room for improvement.
Cendrine Marrouat says
Thank you for this wonderful blog post! People often talk about Twitter or Ning, but they tend to forget how powerful Facebook Fan Pages really are in terms of marketing and promotion. And the wonderful thing is that they are free to set up. Nowadays, free is essential, especially for small businesses with tight budgets!
Extreme John says
We started using Facebook Fan Pages a few months ago and it's worked out great for both of our business's. One of the additional things I like about connecting with our customers via our Facebook Fan Page is the ability to answer questions and address any potential customer issues before they get out of hand.
JeanieR says
I've looked at the fan pages and asked, "Why bother?"
Well, you answer that question with some compelling info and suggestions.
ronnie says
what about http://www.wishpot.com? they have a shop app business use on facebook
TheExposureStrategist says
I'm enjoying much success with linking my Blog to Facebook by using the Facebook Application 'Networked Blogs'. It's so easy to set up and you can set it to 'feed' your blog to Facebook every time you make a new blog post. It also enables you to 'invite' your Facebook friends to follow your blog. I think it's cool and recommend it.
rossmation says
After make fan page on facebook,many people know me and i am happy that facebook help us to be famous.many million people use facebook and its a good place to share information and make new friends.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Force-Factor-Reviews-…
Nice Post, Thks for sharing this information, we normaly use ping.fm to update our content but now we started using tweetdeck too.
Another good tip is Customize Your Facebook Fan Page URL http://www.facebook.com/username/ your Fan Page needs to have only 25(not longer 1000 or 100) or more fans and your acc has to be verified via mobile phone.
This is one sample of a fan page made using FBML like toms shoes, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Encino-CA/Marilyn…
dan_james says
I love the free shipping for facebook fans concept,
it really is the simple stuff that puts you ahead of
the pack.
diabetesmanagement says
Very informative article, social media seems to be here to stay and integrating it to not just online but offline marketing media strategy is crucial for the survival of most businesses nowadays. No longer is it a passing fancy and cannot be ignored, I mean the president of the united states was elected partly thanks to a strong social media campaign if that is not good enough reason to add the strategy to any business then I don't know what is.

ernestmedia says
Great post! We work with social media marketing extensively and it's always interesting to see how others think about leveraging the medium.
We find that using social media and Facebook in particular works best when in a supporting role of a bigger idea, like a contest idea mentioned above.
A new and interesting trend we're experimenting with is integration of social media on and offline, where we may leverage a Facebook contest to support an actual event where those who are fans / friends can interact with the brand as well as each other in real life, similar to a Tweetup.
Thanks for a great post!
tafbaig says
I loved the article. Especially having a landing page. After having a facebook button on our page for a few months, I didn't notice anyone really using it. So, this weekend I put a picture of the facebook page with a link to the page on the website. Here is my website with that page on the right. http://www.MagicWandCompany.com Although I haven't notice anything yet, I am hoping that it will help since people can actually see the page opened up on the website (although it is really a link). In the carpet cleaning supply business, it does take carpet cleaning companies and facilities a few visits before they start clicking. Please let me know if there is anything else that you notice that needs improvement on the website and the facebook account. Thank you very much.
Sean Supplee says
I just got started with creating my own fan page over on facebook. It really looks like 2010 is going to be the year for a huge social push online towards connecting business with customers.
I will need to start a contest soon is one of the things I have been lacking on and seems like a great idea to spark more interest int he community.
dolly says
that's just a new wave of marketing.
terriseymour says
Great post! I have just recently started with Facebook and I really have no idea how to develop an effective fan page. Thanks for the post!
Great post ! I use always facebook page for marketing this is absolutely nice…this post has nice information thanks.
Vicky Miles says
Thanks Michelle, wonderful ideas and ways to activate our Facebook fan pages!
Saludos from Argentina!

Facebook is a great way to advertise. In my business though I would need a lot of parents signing papaerwork to have the pictures on line.. BUt it is a thought in my head…
Mike Daley says
Very good post. Consistently providing information regarding your business is the way you can keep your brand in front of your fans. I especially like the way you provide examples.
Brendan Maclellan says
Enjoyed reading the articles on this site and will be using techniques to develop business on Facebook.
Blu Mar Ten says
Tip-off regarding auto-feeding a blog into a FB page. I noticed that if you do this it doesn't show in your fan's news feeds, whereas when you paste a link to an article manually it does, along with displaying associated graphics from the blog post. Once I did this I noticed that fan interaction went through the roof.
Compare a page where the content is auto-populated with one where it's not and see the difference in interaction levels for yourself.
gjperera says
Awesome article…just what I was looking for. One thing that you failed to mention is how users can benefit from placing the become a fan button on their blogs. Just a though.

stealthymarketer says
Some useful tips, I've haven't been using Facebook for my Internet Marketing efforts but it's something I'll do when my wife gives me the opportunity! I just signed up to Ping.fm and have built some software so I can post to all of my networks from my desktop. I'll be releasing the software in a few days if anyone is interested.

Simply stunning! These cardigans say everything with very little. One greek letter is stitched onto these great 100% no-pil acrylic sweaters, and your frat name is embroidered within the swirling banner. Masons designs feature the square and compass instead of a greek letter. Groove cardigans feature a "G". These cardigans have two full pockets and tapered bottom and cuffs.


Jeff Anderson should retroactively voice anything of worth. I'm serious. Someone get hold of Peter Jackson and tell him the last couple of Hobbit films need to be reedited because, as good a job as Cumberbatch does voicing Smaug, Jeff Anderson could do it better. Disney should disown Tom Hanks; he's an okay Woody, I guess, but he's no Jeff Anderson. We all liked Christain Bale in Howl's Moving Castle, but you know who could do it better? Jeff Anderson.
Most of you are probably throwing out big league "Who?" 's at this point. You might recognise Anderson from multiple appearances in Kevin Smith films, most notable as Randal in the Clerks flicks. He lends his voice to a different Randal in Nexus' Randal's Monday, a point and click game straddling the line between serving tribute to Smith's work and flat-out licensing it. The two Randals are different-ish people - the game doesn't take place within the film's canon, but it isn't above dropping sly references towards its source material. There's a closed down video store with a familiar name; there's an early exclamation of "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"; Jay and Silent Bob both make cameos. Okay, that last one's not so sly, and Jason Mewes even pops up to voice his likeness.
The point I was originally trying to make before distracting myself is that, even by lofty adventure game standards, Randal's Monday is ridiculously well voiced. As well as being sarcastic, foul-mouthed and abusive, Anderson's Randal v2 embraces genre logic by being an open kleptomaniac who can't help but steal everything in sight and cram it into his pockets regardless of their potential use for various inventory puzzles. At its core, Randal's Monday is an old school project, 2D in nature and bereft of fancy modern innovations, sharing a lot of traits with the sillier adventures of the past, such as Discworld or Simon the Sorcerer. Or at least it would be if it wasn't for the constant cursing and the pop culture ODing.
Randal's Monday employs a point-blank shotgun approach to its pop culture references, in that it covers the screen in dozens and hopes you notice a handful at a time. Shelves in the background are stacked with triforces, shredder helmets and hoverboards. Photon backpacks, Portal-themed advertising posters and golden cherubs with Tim Schafer's face. Toy lightsabers sit comfortably close to Halo plasma blades; you shall not pass road signs contain a stencil of Gandalf. Lines of dialogue are lifted straight of Army of Darkness, Spiderman and Pulp Fiction. M. Night Shyamalan is routinely derided. Terminator arms and dragonballs sit amongst unsold Dreamcasts and Guitar Hero instruments. Waiting rooms have the level map from Ghouls & Goblins proudly displayed as works of art. People are called out for badly paraphrased Terry Prachett references. I could fill my word quota through these examples with ease. I'm sorely tempted to do so.
It would feel like pure overkill had the game's main focus been to cram as many geeky references in as it could, but these things are mostly relegated to the background (mostly). Instead, it advances a tale of a cursed ring that Randal kind of accidentally steals from his best friend on the night of his engagement and then pawns off for rent money the next day. The problem is the next day never comes, and Randal is stuck reliving Monday over and over again, with only the changes he physically makes subtlety altering each repeated day. These start off as little things; the huge pile of cash he obtains for the ring slowly whittles away as he's forced to repay his overdue rent each day; using and destroying a fire escape means it's out of commission for the rest of the game. Trying to trick an obtuse metro ticket lady into supplying you with a day pass is a laborious task, but, once done, the ticket is forever valid and in your possession.
It's an interesting gimmick, adding a fresh layer of the lateral thinking you already need to employ to make any logical sense of progressing. Knowing that the day will soft reset means that you're constantly setting things in motion behind the scenes, for better or worse. Change the day of a sci-fi con, and the koala exhibit that should have taken place ceases to exist, and armies of homeless marsupials roam the streets. The problems often lay in getting there; Randal's Monday enjoys laying on arduously exhausting solutions to puzzles at times that makes some of its wacky predecessors look downright logical in comparison. Making a simple lockpick, for instance, requires the use of a broken radio, a spring, a sledgehammer, a ducky decorated coat hanger and a high powered blender. Obtaining a simple plastic badge asks you to give a small child a nail gun. Getting the nail gun means you have to distract a builder with some gum. Getting the gum means you have steal a coin from a hipster using cardboard boxes, music piped through a broken gutter system and a magnet. Don't even get me started on how I got that particular bit of music trickery set up. Dear god, please don't ask me about the magnet.
But, should you succumb to a helping hand, know that every time you press the hint button, Randal's Monday kills a kitten. Odds are you'll go on a feline killing spree or fall into the trap of randomly clicking stuff together in the hopes of it melding into accidental success from time to time, and it's bloody frustrating. Yes, that's a pitfall very much prevalent in the DNA of the genre, but the overt efforts toward the irrelevant and the ridiculous do conspire now and then to motivate the need to mash the keyboard with your face. It's hard to stay angry, though; as well as the eventual satisfaction coming from plotting your solution (or the lingering guilt that you've just killed a small family of cats) the game is almost as well written as it is voiced. There's always something just up ahead that will make you smile, or a tucked away reference to discover and nerd out on. It would be an interactive cartoon version of Groundhog Day if Bill Murray was constantly drunk, hated you a lot more, and gave up on seducing Andie McDowell to concentrate instead on trolling everyone he could find using weird constructs built from the rubbish he keeps finding in his pockets.

The world is changing rapidly. With the 100 years of experience we have cultivated together with you, we will continue to take on the challenge of change and engage in innovative business activities for bright smiles in the next 100 years.
Concept behind the 100-year Anniversary Logo
In recent times, the "100-year human lifespan" has become a much-used phrase, and the role that dentistry should play in extending the healthy life expectancy of people is becoming more and more important.
Smiles are a barometer of health, and healthy teeth are essential for people's bright smiles.
Since our founding in 1922, we have contributed to making people around the world smile as a dental materials and equipment manufacturer.
As a dental materials and equipment manufacturer, we would like to contribute to the bright smiles of people all over the world for another 100 years
That is the concept behind this logo.
The "0" in the center of the "100" figure takes the form of a tooth and of a face with the "bright smile" alluded to in the slogan; the line extending from the roots of the tooth towards the Shofu logo indicates the progress that the company has made from 1922 to 2022, and the journey ahead over the next 100 years.
