Q: NSTextView won't respond to setString I'm new to Cocoa, and I've been having a problem that is absolutely maddening.  I'm trying to write a simple NSString to an NSTextView, and for some reason it just won't respond.  No compiler warnings, no runtime errors, just a blank textview.
I'm able to use other methods of NSTextView like selectAll, delete, setSelectedRanges, etc.  They work fine, and from everything I've read in Apple's Docs and on the net, methods like setString should work.  I've also tried:
[[textView textStorage] setAttributedString:aString]

using an NSAttributedString version of the text, again with no result.  Even the string method works perfectly and returns the contents of the textView, but for some reason setString and the like won't.  The TextView is editable.  In debugger the value of the string I'm trying to write shows up without a problem.
I've searched everywhere on the 'net, and it seems that no-one else is having this problem.
Thanks,
Joe

A: Are you trying to set the string value while the field is actively being edited? While a text field is focused the control that you are actually interacting with is its editor (an NSTextView), so changes to the storage of the text field won't have any effect.

A: I've figured it out--I'm not sure if this was what retainCount meant, but it seems I was sending the message to textView before it was initialized.  I moved my -setString statement to the awakeFromNib method and it worked.  I had it in the -init method in my windowController.  OOps!

A: Ensure that you are invoking -setString: on the main thread. AppKit is not thread-safe.

First impressions: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Post author By Matt Demers
No Comments on First impressions: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Note: the gfys in this post are bugged due to something on the end of Gfycat. They should display at the proper crop after a loop or two.
I'm likely going to be doing a video on this later, but I thought I'd write down a couple thoughts on Xenoblade Chronicles X, since I picked it up yesterday.
So far, I've played four hours of the game and gotten past the first few story missions. I've just unlocked the main "go off and have fun on your own" portion of the game, where it lets you pick the main story back up at your leisure. It's also just opened up the ability to do co-op missions with friends, so I'm about to dive into the meat of it.
After going through the character select screen, I basically tried to make my guy look un-anime as possible. I was a little disappointed to find out that our protagonist is silent, but I'm starting to enjoy his ugly mug.
If you've played the first Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii, you'll know that a large part of the game is the expansive environments that feel alive. This is the Gaur Plains/Bionis' Leg intro from that title:
The same thing exists in Xenoblade Chronicles X, but things have been enhanced due to a greater draw distance and detail that the WiiU can provide. To be honest, I'm not going to hide that the WiiU is very underpowered compared to the other consoles in its generation, but at the same time I haven't experienced any major slowdown when viewing scenes like this:
Xenoblade also boasts a "if you can see it, you can go there" system, which I haven't quite had a chance to explore yet. This kind of exploration is a huge contributor to my enjoyment of JRPGs, as Dragon Quest VIII has a similar system and I really enjoyed that game.
While I haven't got any of the Gundams/Skells that the cover of the games boasts, travel has been great in the sense that you can sprint without any repercussions and jump around like Spider-man due to the (presumably) lower gravity of the planet Mira. This makes traversing around the map really fun, and the speed at which you can do it, combined with the awesome vistas, gives me a number of moments where the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
This article seems a little overly-praising so far, but while streaming there were a number of moments I noticed where I was genuinely grinning ear-to-ear. I know that sounds a bit corny, but I need to highlight how absolutely rare that is with AAA titles for me these days.
I feel like I've fallen out of a lot of mainstream games because they just do nothing for me. There's no sense of wonder or catching me unaware: either I know pretty much what the game has to offer, or the premise doesn't interest me to the point I'm cool about missing out.
However, Xenoblade Chronicles X surprised me because I expected some kind of trashy anime of a JRPG. The writing is surprisingly funny and sharp at times, and the voiced characters have a decent enough cast behind them that they aren't reduced to blob stereotypes that you'd find in a hastily-translated English offering.
The character of Lin looks like someone I would dislike a lot in a video game. As a 26-year-old dude who isn't a complete weeb, you'd have to forgive my first negative impression:
However, despite her being a huge ball of sometimes-annoying pep, her lines have been delivered in such a way that she seems to have way more personality than a typical demure little-sister stereotype. When I figured this out I was so happy to be wrong about my impression, because it means I wouldn't be spending the game wishing she wasn't there.
When you can immerse yourself in all of the game, it makes it so much better than clawing through parts you hate just to get to a part you actually want to play.
Perhaps what I'm looking forward to most is the massive amount of distractions that the game seems to have set up. Expanding the map requires finding sites to bury probes in, which in turn look to make hunting monsters and mining that much easier. As someone who loves the exploration/climbing sections the Assassin's Creed franchise has you do to expand the map, I can see this inflating my play time considerably.
It looks like Monolith Software has set up for players to experience a "single player MMO" with a lot of side elements that involve other players in small ways, like contributing to daily rewards or co-op quests. As someone who doesn't have enough time to dive into an MMO proper, I'm definitely excited to give Xenoblade a ton of my attention.
I'll likely be doing a video about my thoughts on this game as I get deeper into it, but for now, I'll be happy to experience more moments like finding this huge-ass monster. I just wonder how long it'll be before I can take it down.

Detectives from the St. Clair County Sheriff Department are asking for the public's assistance in locating a suspect who has smashed out windows and entered three locations during the past three weeks.
The suspect first broke into New Life Christian Academy,5517 Griswold Road in Kimball Township, during the early morning hours of Oct. 22, according to a statement from the sheriff department. The suspect arrived on a four-wheeler, picked up a large rock and threw it through the entry door windows of the school. He then used the rock to smash the office window and other windows inside the school, according to the statement. It is unknown if he stole anything from inside the school.

During the early morning hours of Oct. 29, the suspect on the same four-wheeler smashed windows and entered the 5/3 Bank branch, located at the corner of Lapeer Road and Wadhams Road.
The suspect is believed to have struck again this morning, smashing windows at the Kimball Township Offices, 2160 Wadhams Road.
The suspect was spotted by deputies Sunday night, but eluded them by traveling through backyards and other grassy areas on the four-wheeler, according to the statement.
The glass in the front doors of the Kimball Township Offices was broken this morning. (Photo: Brian Wells/Times Herald)

10) AI and the Bias of Machines: Robert Elliott Smith
What: How do we stop the internet making bigots of us all? We live in a world increasingly ruled by technology, finding comfort in the idea that this technology is free of prejudice; only its users are fallible. But don't be so sure, warns author and scholar Robert Elliott Smith. In his book, Rage Inside the Machine: The Prejudice of Algorithms, and How to Stop the Internet Making Bigots of Us All, the 30-year veteran in artificial intelligence challenges the long-held assumption that technology is amoral and apolitical. Join Robert Elliott Smith as he shines a light on how we're increasingly being constrained by algorithms – being forced to adapt to technology rather than adapting technology to suit us. Presenting a compelling account of how we got here, Smith treads a fine line between indignation at what can happen and recognition of the scale of technological achievements. As an eminent computer scientist and machine learning pioneer, Smith reveals how new thinking and research can help us keep our sanity and our humanity.
Why: Don't listen to him. He's obviously biased. Listen to us. We're telling you to listen to him.

8) The Science of Fate: Hannah Critchlow
What: The concept of fate has been around since the ancient Greeks, inspiring literature and folklore for thousands of years. However, the science of fate is just getting started. In her new book The Science of Fate: Why Your Future is More Predictable Than You Think, internationally acclaimed neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow explores the current state of neurological and genomic research. She breathes new life into the concept of fate by situating it at the core of what we all increasingly believe makes us who we are – the brain. Drawing vividly from everyday life, Critchlow illustrates just how much our decisions – from what we eat, to whom we love, to how we vote – are hardwired and predetermined by genetics. This fascinating talk will challenge everything we know about ourselves, as well as empowering us to help shape a better future.
Why: Go to this. Don't go to this.

Investing in TRON (TRX) – Everything You Need to Know
Tron 101:
Investing in Tron
Buy Tron
Buy Australia
Buy Canada
Buy India
Buy Singapore
Buy UK
Tron Investor
Ever since TRON (TRX) entered the crypto market in 2017, it's had one of the most vocal followings in the sector. This coin leveraged this community support and its unique technical aspects to become one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the world in terms of market cap. More impressively is the fact that it only took TRON two years to accomplish this task.
What is TRON (TRX)?
TRON is a decentralized virtual machine that was built to help usher in the decentralized internet. Similarly to Ethereum, TRON enables Dapp developers to create and utilize complex protocols via smart contracts that live on its native blockchain. Today the platform is best known for its transaction speeds and its lively CEO.
Specifically, the platform is capable of 2000 transactions per second. This performance puts TRX on par with major payment processors such as PayPal. Best of all, TRON has zero transaction fees. You can send a million dollars in TRX to anywhere in the world in seconds and never have to pay a fee.
To grasp the monumental task TRON's developers seek to take on, it's crucial to understand a little about the decentralized internet. The decentralized internet differs from the internet you are used to in some key ways. Primarily, there are no hosting companies. Instead, the entire internet is run by personal users.
Until recently, the concept of a decentralized web seemed impossible. The computing power of the world was not up to par yet. However, the transparent nature of blockchain networks makes them ideal for just such a task. This is exactly the role TRON seeks to obtain.
History of TRON (TRX)
The history of TRON begins in early 2017. At that time, the firm's CEO Justin Sun officially launched the Singapore based non-profit organization known today as the TRON Foundation. The mission of this organization was to build the infrastructure for a decentralized internet and provide a democratic system to manage the new network.
Notably, Sun isn't a stranger to the FinTech sector. For one, he is a protégé of Alibaba founder, Jack Ma. Amazingly, he graduated from Ma's Hupan University and within months made his way onto Forbes "China 30 under 30" and "Asia 30 under 30" lists. Keenly, prior to the introduction of TRON, Sun had already made a name for himself in the blockchain sector.
For example, Sun was Ripple's chief representative in the greater China area. This position put him in contact with the network of people he would one day need to make the TRON concept a reality. He also founded a hugely popular live-streaming app called Peiwo. Currently, the app has over 10 million users throughout China.
Even more impressive is the fact that Sun integrated TRON into Peiwo only months after the acquisition. This integration helped boost TRON's position in the region. Additionally, the strategy expanded TRON's active user base significantly.
TRON (TRX) ICO Raise
TRON's launch was a big deal. The 2017 TRON Foundation ICO raised $70 million to further development of the TRON ecosystem. During the event, investors received TRX tokens in exchange for their BTC or ETH. At the time of the sale, TRX tokens had a market value of just $0.0019.
TRX tokens are the utility tokens issued by the TRON Foundation as a medium currency for all TRC-based tokens. These tokens reside n the MainNet and they facilitate easy transactions across the blockchain.
By 2018, Sun had pushed TRON into the top ten cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization. This success gave the platform's developers the resources, experience, and motivation to launch their own blockchain. This decision allowed TRON to migrate the platform from ERC-20 tokens that reside on the Ethereum network, over to TRX tokens that utilize TRON's native protocol.
Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS)
The TRON network relies on a Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism to secure the blockchain. A DPoS is similar to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism in that it allows users to earn passive income whenever they stake their holdings in a network wallet.
TRON Homepage
Staking TRON (TRX)
Staking serves a couple of crucial purposes. For one, it allows users to earn passive income. Mainly, it keeps the network safe. In the TRX ecosystem, users stake their TRX at a 1:1 ratio. The more they stake, the more TRON Power they earn. TRON Power is vital within the TRON network. For one, it's what the community uses to vote for Super Representatives. Notably, after three days, a user can choose to convert their TRON Power into TRX.
DPoS vs PoS
Unlike a PoS system, in a DPoS system, only elected nodes can approve blocks of transactions. In the TRON ecosystem, the community elects 27 Super Representatives every six hours for this vital task. These representatives are chosen by the community of users staking their TRX. Notably, the entire process is run by a DAO.
Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)
DAOs continue to be a popular form of decentralized management in the sector. Think of a DAO as a series of smart contracts that nodes can vote on to determine the next course of action for the organization. DAOs provide the community with a decentralized and democratic way to develop platforms based on community guidelines.
In July 2018, the TRON Foundation again made headlines. This time the news was that TRON purchased the largest peer-to-peer file-sharing network in the world – Bittorrent. File sharing platforms like Bittorrent were the first forms of decentralized networks in existence. In essence, these platforms laid the foundation for blockchain technology years in advance.
TRON Foundation
The TRON Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on expanding the use case scenarios for TRX and the TRON protocol. Today, TRX operates on one of the largest decentralized networks in the world. Additionally, the entire TRON protocol is open-source. Open-source platforms are more secure because they allow the community to test the codes wear-with-all.
Where to Buy TRON (TRX)
Uphold – This is one of the top exchanges for United States residents that offers a wide range of cryptocurrencies. UK & European residents are prohibited.
Binance – Best for Australia, Canada, Singapore, UK, and most of the world. USA residents are prohibited from buying TRX. Use Discount Code: EE59L0QP for 10% cashback off all trading fees.
BitPanda – This is the best option for residents of Europe, they do not accept clients from outside of this jurisdiction.
WazirX – This is the best exchange for residents of India.
Uphold Disclaimer: Assets available on Uphold are subject to region. All investments and trading are risky and may result in the loss of capital. Cryptoassets are largely unregulated and are therefore not subject to protection.
How to Store Tron
There are two main ways to store your TRX Tokens. Each has its own benefits and risks to consider. If you are new to the crypto space and only plan to purchase a small amount of TRX, a mobile wallet will suit you fine. The TRON wallet Dapp is available for free on iOS and Android devices.
The upside of a mobile wallet is that it's easy to use and provides you with instant access to your cryptocurrency. The downside is that it's more prone to hacks and scamsters. Remember, your mobile wallet is always online, therefore, it's always at risk.
If you seek to make a major investment in TRX or if you are planning on HODLing this crypto for long periods of time, a hardware wallet is the best option. Hardware wallets keep your crypto stored offline in "cold storage." This strategy makes it impossible for online threats to access your holdings. The Ledger Nano S or the more advanced Ledger Nano X both support Tron (TRX).
TRON Controversy
Like any major cryptocurrency project, TRON has had its fair share of controversies. One major area of concern that has plagued the project is the fact that much of its protocols appear to come from other platforms.
For example, TRON utilizes multiple protocols from IPFS and Filecoin (Bitswap, PoRep, PoSt,) but it fails to list them as references in its whitepaper. This lack of reference led some in the community to speak out against the project.
In response to the allegations of forgery, Sun stated that the confusion arose from bad translations. He explained that the whitepaper translators left out important details that were found in the original Chinese version of the document. Despite his claim, others in the community pointed to issues in the Chinese version as well.
TRON continues to find its way into the crypto headlines on a regular basis. From its CEO eating lunch with Warren Buffet to the launch of a new DeFi platform, this project continues to capture the imagination and hearts of crypto users around the world. For now, it's exciting to see what this creative team of developers has up their sleeve next.

Stayed for one night for business and felt uncomfortable from the minute I arrived. Security harassed me when I brought in my luggage initially and again when I forgot a small travel bag in the car. I didn't see one employee smile the entire time I was there. Room was clean and somewhat comfortable though.
My room was very clean and spacious. All staff are very nice and service oriented (although I think they need more help in the restaurant). Front desk was great with all questions and needs.
Disgusting, SMOKE-FILLED (even the rooms smelled like cigarette smoke, had to sleep with the window open in freezing February) dirty hotel.
The only issue was that the clock was not able to be changed to current time nor set the alarm. Otherwise my night was great.
My stay was fantastic! The room was super clean, comfortable, and nice size. Loved the friendliness of the staff and enjoyed myself very much.


First, I love Giuseppe shoes!! So I am very excited to share this pair of shoes and website with you!! For all the shoe lovers I have found a dupe for the Fall Giuseppe Leopard/Blue Tip pointed toe high heel bootie!! The original shoe will run you around $1,350!! Yes, they make beautiful shoes but everyone cannot afford that price for one pair of shoes! No worries I have found a similar pair for only $45.95! Yes you read that right less than $50.00! I was so excited when I saw the shoes I had to share them with my beautiful PL's! All purchasing information is below.
The shoe trend and colors are on point. The cobalt blue on the toe gives just enough color block not to over power the leopard base! Unlike other booties this shoe has individual straps to secure the ankle! The heel is only 4" on both pairs of shoes.
I hope you enjoyed the post! Please comment below any other shoes you would like for me to find the Lux for Less!

The secret policeman's bill
Okay, let's play a game I like to call Getting Myself Arrested. The rules are simple: all you have to do is think different ideas from Stephen Harper, and say or write them clearly and directly. Here we go!
I believe that exploitation of the tar sands is incredibly destructive to the immediately surrounding environment and to the planet as a whole. I am in favour of shutting it down as quickly as possible. Furthermore I oppose building pipelines to carry this dangerous bitumen to markets, whether to the west via Northern Gateway or Kinder Morgan projects, to the south via the Keystone XL, or to the east via the retrofitted pipelines of Energy East. I am in full solidarity with First Nations people whose lives and territories are too often on the front lines of these destructive projects, and encourage, advocate and support mass civil disobedience to shut them down.
Such opinions are not uncommon among Canadians who are environmentally concerned. And according to Stephen Harper's Bill C-51, that could make us all terrorists.
This new legislation now being fast-tracked through Parliament without full debate or discussion could make writing or uttering that paragraph illegal. I say "could" because the wording of the bill is so vague that police and politicians can apply it to whomever they please: "Every person who, by communicating statements, knowingly advocates or promotes the commission of terrorism offences in general—other than an offence under this section—while knowing that any of those offences will be committed or being reckless as to whether any of those offences may be committed, as a result of such communication, is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years."
Bill C-51 will erase your right to privacy. Think I'm exaggerating? Here is what Daniel Therrien, Tory-appointed Privacy Commissioner of Canada is worried about: "At this early stage, I can say that I am concerned with the breadth of the new authorities to be conferred by the proposed new Security of Canada Information Sharing Act. This Act would seemingly allow departments and agencies to share the personal information of all individuals, including ordinary Canadians who may not be suspected of terrorist activities, for the purpose of detecting and identifying new security threats."
CSIS and SIRC
Independent civilian oversight of CSIS, the RCMP and provincial and local police forces is already woefully inadequate. Remember that CSIS was established in 1984 because of revelation about RCMP illegal activities and violation of civil rights. Its own activities were to be scrutinized by the Office of the Inspector General, part of the portfolio of the Ministry of Public Safety. The Office of the Inspector General was disbanded by the Harper government in 2012.
Tories argue that the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), which reports to Parliamentary committee, is sufficient. In fact SIRC is a joke, a dumping ground for patronage appointments. Past heads of SIRC include former Reform Party/Tory MP Chuck Strahl and accused fraudster Arthur Porter. Strahl was forced to resign as chair of SIRC when it was revealed he was also a registered lobbyist in the employ of Enbridge on behalf of its Northern Gateway project. Porter is currently being extradited from prison in Panama where he had fled to escape charges of fraud and money laundering while an executive of SNC Lavalin. The current chair of SIRC is another patronage appointment, former Reform Party/Tory stalwart Deb Grey.
Suggestions that expanding the power of secret police and intelligence forces should be accompanied by expanding independent oversight was dismissed by Harper's minions. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney says that SIRC is sufficient and that any other oversight would be "redundant". His Parliamentary Secretary Roxanne James put it plainly: "We are not interested in creating needless red tape." So worrisome is the lack of democratic scrutiny that five former prime ministers–four Liberals, one Tory and zero previously known civil liberty activists–have signed an open letter condemning Bill C-51's lack of transparency.
But even with additional oversight, Bill C-51 would remain a travesty due to the vague way it defines "terrorist". A terrorist can be anyone who interferes with the operation of the government or the economy. That takes in a lot of territory. It is explicit in its vagueness, naming as sacrosanct "intelligence, defence, border operations, public safety, the administration of justice, diplomatic or consular relations, or the economic or financial stability of Canada."
Which brings us back to my treasonous beginning, calling for the shut down of tar sands development. Harper says they are essential to the economy and a matter of nation building. Remember in 2012, then Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver called Northern Gateway opponents dangerous "radicals", and accused us of being funded by "foreign special interest groups to undermine Canada's national economic interest." I'm still waiting for my cheque.
Small wonder that the secret police, as revealed in a leaked RCMP document, consider environmentalists a greater threat to Canada than terrorists. Environmentalist are re-defined as the "anti-Canada petroleum movement". Climate change is just a "claim". Concerned young activists are "impressionable" dupes. And sources such as Sun News columnists and reports from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers are treated as gospel.
Combine the pre-existing pro-petroleum consensus in government and secret police with a new law redefining opponents as "terrorists". Suddenly people peacefully protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline in BC, or blockading attempts to frack for shale gas in New Brunswick face a greater danger for doing what they know is right.
French philosopher Voltaire wrote: "It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong." If Bill C-51 passes, Canadians will discover what he meant.

Motion Picture Association Launches "Film School Friday" Program
By Staff on	 March 2, 2020 News
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) hosted high school students from the District of Columbia for its inaugural "Film School Friday" — a new event series to connect students with industry leaders to learn about careers in creative fields. The association frequently hosts community-based events, including screenings of films and panel discussions on social themes, multiculturalism, as well as partnerships with foreign embassies around international productions.
"We want our newly renovated headquarters to be a gathering place for everyone to celebrate creativity and culture in Washington," said Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association. "The film and television industry has the power to inspire millions. We are proud to convene these students at our inaugural Film School Friday, and I hope that each of them feels a bit of that movie magic today."
Today's program included remarks from MPA's Vice President of External and Multicultural Affairs, John Gibson, a D.C. native and graduate of Eastern High School; a special tour of the props, costumes, and memorabilia from iconic films and television shows on display at the newly renovated MPA global headquarters; and a special, private "work-in-progress" screening of the upcoming documentary, A Most Beautiful Thing by award winning filmmaker Mary Mazzio. The film chronicles the first African American high school rowing team from the West Side of Chicago. Its official public premiere will be at SXSW this March.
"As a native Washingtonian and a DC Public School alum, I am incredibly proud to be part of the launch of Film School Fridays," said Gibson. "I personally benefited from mentors in various fields, and I firmly believe in the mantra: if you can see it, you can be it. My hope is that we can inspire some of these students today to pursue their dreams in the creative industry, because I know it's possible!"
Richard Wright Public Charter School for Journalism and Media Arts, Eastern Senior High School, Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School, and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School were the first schools to participate in "Film School Friday."
Images of the event are available here.

Caribbean Jewels with Fins | Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine
Issue: November 2007

Livebearers Unlimited: The Caribbean Jewels
Author: Ted Coletti, PhD
It was autumn, 1998. Standing at the back of the dark hall of the American Legion in Nutley, New Jersey, I wondered when the auctioneer would offer something to wake me up. For months it had been the same old species (nearly all cichlids), making the rounds among the members. This night's pickings were going cheap.
Then came the call from the auctioneer: "Lot number 35. Endangered livebearer here…Limia sulphuro-something-or-other. Who gives me a buck?"
I had been playing with a few wild-type livebearers for the past couple of years and found the change a welcome one. But even this aquatic bookworm had never heard of this species before. I was ready to enter into combat if a bidding war erupted—which, of course, it did.
Five minutes later (and $20 poorer) I was the proud owner of eight juvenile livebearers that I knew absolutely nothing about. As I walked out of the hall, the seller of the lot approached me.
"Be patient and watch what happens," he said.
Among specialists, there is always one species we can pinpoint as the catalyst for our deep dive into a fish family. For me, it was that $20 bag of Limia sulphurophila.
What is a Limia?
Fishes in the genus Limia are members of the family Poeciliidae, which includes the popular mollies and guppies (Poecilia), platies and swordtails (Xiphophorus), and about 150-plus additional livebearing species. Limia makes up about 10 percent of poeciliids, currently comprising at least 21 species. Some species are very similar and open to debate, and several new populations probably have yet to be discovered. So the final Limia species count is in question until the taxonomic smoke clears.
All limiashail from the islands of the Caribbean, specifically the Caymans, Cuba, Jamaica, and the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti). At first it was thought that limias were closely related to mollies as a sister genus, but recent DNA sequencing data indicates this is not the case. Evolutionary theories range from a marine migration from the Central/South American land mass, to isolation of a poeciliid population when some of the Great Antilles broke off from the mainland. Some scientists have proposed limiasto be ancestral poeciliids. The need for more extensive collections, DNA analyses, and fossil records continues.
Limia means "muddy" in Latin, a reference to the Havana, Cuba biotope of the type species, L. vittata. The genus was established in 1854 by Poey, then later transferred as a Poecilia subgenus by Rosen and Bailey in their seminal 1963 work. This caused some practical problems, as there were now Poecilia with the same species names! Almost immediately Rivas and other scientists continued to recognize Limia, however. It was resurrected as its own genus by Rivas in 1978 and 1980, with eight new species. Rivas died in 1986 before he could finish his re-classification of Limia. In recent years, the "tiger limia" from Lake Miragoane, Haiti has made its rounds in the hobby, awaiting species status.
Limias range in size from 1 to 3 inches, so they are very suitable for the aquarium. They share a characteristic dorsal spot, at least in their juvenile stage. Haitian species are often characterized by striping on the bodies, and Hispaniolan species often have some color in the dorsals. Many have shimmering scales and contrasting body colors in the flanks versus the finnage. I have found that the colors of limias tend to get better with age, so hobbyists need to be patient, as the original seller of my lot of L. sulphurophila had told me to be.
Nearly all limias mate via "sneak copulation," which is where males come from underneath and behind without any courtship display to entice a female. In fishdom, this type of behavior generally results in less elaborate size, color, and finnage in males. But three species (and perhaps the tiger limia) do court their females, serving up interesting behavioral displays for the hobbyist. They are the closely related L. perugiae and L. nigrofasciata ("humpbacked limia") from Hispaniola, as well as what may be the most ancestral Limia, Jamaica's L. melanogaster ("black belly limia"). These three species are all truly lovely in terms of their colors, finnage, and unique shapes.
Tank Requirements
Limia tend to enjoy calcium hard or brackish water that is alkaline. Most do just fine in a 10-gallon tank. I like to keep the temperatures a bit on the high side, near 80°F, until I can ascertain the hardiness or domestication of the stock I am working with. All these water variables coincide with the native Caribbean conditions.
So the next time you're at an auction, and a bag of these Caribbean jewels comes up, don't be afraid to plunk down some extra coins for these interesting livebearers.
And remember: "Be patient and watch what happens."
Guppy Corner
Unquestionably one of the most, if not the most, popular show guppy in the new millennium is the strain known as the "full red." The full red fancy guppy is red throughout its body, from head through large delta tail. It is a fish you will only see in all its glory at an International Fancy Guppy Association (IFGA) guppy show—go to www.ifga.com for locations and schedule.
This was no easy feat of selective breeding. Full color throughout a guppy has been a challenge of guppy breeders ever since there were guppy breeders. In the 1990s the blue-black Moscow guppy made its appearance, from the Russian city where many-a-good fancy tropical fish have originated. This fish showed its color from head through tail. I always thought the full red was essentially a red Moscow, but it appears this may not be the case. Both strains probably developed independently of one another, and indeed the current red Moscow is a cross between these two fish.
The full red is probably of American origin. One account was by a breeder named David M. Reaume who discovered a sport in his red guppy tanks around 1993 or 1994. He knew it was special as it developed extra red coloring over its body and onto its gill covers. The sport's immediate ancestors included a fine petshop red guppy male and gold guppy female, and a flamingo half-black from Homestead, Florida's Summerland Fish Farm. Go figure!
Reaume's Strategy
Reaume quickly converted his entire 6-tank breeding operation over to developing an all-red guppy. His story is one that all prospective fancy livebearer breeders should read. It is a story of dedication and frustration, with small successes building up over many years, marked by constant setbacks with impurities. It is hobbyists like these, folks, to whom we owe much gratitude.
When Reaume's full red breeding program began, he was plagued by infertility problems in subsequent generations. The red gene also apparently "skipped" every other generation. When it did express, the red body trait initially only appeared in 10 to 15 percent of offspring. Reaume hypothesized female choice and multiple gene interactions as culprits.
Reaume was also dealing with pesky white tips on the dorsal fins, and hump-backed traits in about 20 percent of his males. Fortunately, he also discovered his developing full reds to be longer lived and slower to mature (and show color) than show guppies. A few years later, all-red females began appearing in the breeding tanks.
Reaume also did something else that is commendable. He shared his new stock with other breeders so the strain would not be lost. Many a great strain of livebearer has vanished into history because of the competitive privacy or lack of interest among breeders. Wood's lyretail mollies circa 1970 and the red jet swordtails of the late 1950s are just two examples of now-extinct strains.
Charles Pratt, the editor of the IFGA's Bulletin, reported Reaume's story, and has observed that the full red still does not reliably produce full delta or non-ragged tails. But with time and dedication, I'm sure this will be solved as well. You can't keep a guppy breeder down after all!
Finding Full Reds
You probably won't find full reds in your local pet shop. Your best bet is to join a local guppy club, attend an International Fancy Guppy Association show and auction, or join the IFGA. Members also receive a wonderful online bulletin.

This is an example of adding new terrains and using Gizmo. I broke hardcode of fixed 42 terrains, picked terrain textures and trees from HD Edition. There are 41 original terrains and 26 new terrains.
Extract all files into the directory of AOKTC. Run age2_newter.exe, open scenario editor, and see what's new.
I used Gizmo for loading the patch dll. See scripts for how it works in detail.
Could you animating the new Rice Farms with the Userpatch 1.5 ?
Your work is very amazing.
Sounds good, but where can I get UP 1.5? It seems not released now.
I am confused;Do they replace old terrains?
No, I didn't replace terrains, there are only 41 old terains, and all of them included in this.
I used borders, obsoleted data, for new terrains. Then removed border loading code.
Yes, new terrains have moving bugs. movements of units don't work well.
Hi WAIFor, this is quite impressive, good job! A question about converting the HD terrains to the normal slp format: I can change the perspective fine, however when I use Turtle Pack's bitmap format conversion, my colors get distorted a bit. How did you avoid that?
How do I add it to my already modified .dat? Is there any tutorial on how to add new terrains?
It's just that I've put together several mods from Blacksmith in a single mod (I do not use the HD version) and I'd like to add only a few terrains, not all. I'm learning how to use Genied and TurtlePack as well.
My guess is that this mod only modifies your terrain.drs file, and it won't touch your .dat files. Try backing up all the modified files and then run the .exe installer for this modpack. Then, check and see if it added the terrains and left the rest of your mod intact. If not, let me know and I can give some steps that will install this mod manually.

Q: scanf() only reading first input (number) I can't really explain it except that scanf() is only reading the first value, and then the calculations are made based off of that.
int main() {
    int i, students = 0;
    char name[20];
    int tests;
    float test_score;
    int test_sum = 0;
    char letter_grade;
    double test_average;

    printf("Number of students: ");
    scanf("%d", &students);

    for (i = 0; i < students; i++) {
        printf("\nStudent name %d: ", i + 1);
        scanf(" %s", &name);
        fflush(stdin);

        printf("Number of test(s) for %s: ", name);
        scanf("%d", &tests);
        fflush(stdin);

        printf("Enter %d test score(s) for %s: ", tests, name);
        if (i < students) {
            scanf("%f", &test_score);
            test_sum += test_score;
            test_average = test_sum / (float)tests;
        }
        printf("Average test score: %.2f", test_average);

        fflush(stdin);

    }
    return 0;
}

Say I enter 2 students, the first student with 2 test scores, then enter 45 87. I should be getting 66.00, but I'm getting 22.50. For the second student, I'd enter 3 test scores of 100 55 87, and I get 48.33. Waaayyy off.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out, because I had it working before, but the loop wouldn't continue to the second student.

A: You always need to check the return value of scanf() to see how many tokens it read.  If it fails to read, you need to take corrective action.
It's not clear why you'd need fflush(stdin) every time.

A: if (i < students) {
     scanf("%f", &test_score);
     test_sum += test_score;
     test_average = test_sum / (float)tests;
}

Should be :
test_sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < tests; j++) {
    scanf("%f", &test_score);
    test_sum += test_score;
}
test_average = test_sum / (float)tests;

A: the posted code contains several problems including

*

*can only enter one test score

*random mix of int and float and double variables

*incorrect format strings for calls to scanf()

*a number of unused variables

*failure to check for errors on calls to scanf()

*poor variable naming.  Variable names should indicate content or usage (or better both)

*calling fflush(stdin) is specifically listed as undefined behaviour in the C standard

*test_sum is not re-initialized between students

The following proposed code fixes all the above problems and compiles cleanly
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>  // exit(),  EXIT_FAILURE

// prototypes
void flushStdin( void );

int main( void )
{
    int  numStudents = 0;
    char studentName[20];
    int  numTests;

    double test_score;
    double test_sum = 0.0;
    //char   letter_grade;
    double test_average;

    printf("Number of students: ");
    if( 1 != scanf("%d", &numStudents) )
    { // then scanf failed
        perror( "scanf for number of students failed" );
        exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
    }

    // implied else, scanf successful

    flushStdin();

    for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++)
    {
        printf("\nStudent name %d: ", i + 1);
        if( 1 != scanf(" %s", studentName) )
        { // then scanf failed
            perror( "scanf for student name failed" );
            exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
        }

        // implied else, scanf successful

        flushStdin();

        printf("Number of test(s) for %s: ", studentName);
        if( 1 != scanf("%d", &numTests) )
        { // scanf failed
            perror( "scanf for number of tests failed" );
            exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
        }

        // implied else, scanf successful

        test_sum = 0.0;
        printf("Enter %d test score(s) for %s: ", numTests, studentName);
        for( int j=0; j<numTests; j++ )
        {
            if( 1 != scanf("%lf", &test_score) )
            { // then scanf failed
                perror( "scanf for test score failed");
                exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
            }

            // implied else, scanf successful

            flushStdin();

            test_sum += test_score;
        }

        test_average = test_sum / numTests;
        printf("Average test score: %.2lf", test_average);
    }
    return 0;

A farmer for more than 30 years, Alan Blankenfeld is now cultivating souls as the new pastor of Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Flandreau.
After his late-in-life trip to the seminary, Blankenfeld, 57, served Lutheran congregations part-time in Colman and at Midway. His quest for a full-time calling brought him to Our Saviors where he started on Aug. 16.
Blankenfeld's interest in serving a congregation dates back to his college days.
Seven years ago, Blankenfeld was helping out at his home parish, leading worship once a month, when his church's pastor died.
"It was actually during his funeral that I decided if I was going to do this, now would be the time," Blankenfeld said.
Shortly after Blankenfeld and his wife, Diane, arrived at Our Saviors, they got a good indication of the type of congregation they would be serving when Blankenfeld's mother had a stroke and died.
As a father of three grown children and the grandfather of four, Blankenfeld has made a commitment to the children of his parish.
Blankenfeld credits a lively youth group and an active women's group for bringing enthusiasm to the church.
For his role as pastor, Blankenfeld believes his time on the farm has shaped the way he delivers a message from the pulpit.
Blankenfeld estimates the size of the Our Saviors congregation at about 700, but he knows that nationwide churches are struggling to hold on to and attract parishioners. His message to those who have fallen away is that they are welcome at Our Saviors.
"We're a pretty nonthreatening congregation and would love to have visitors," Blankenfeld said.

Quail Corners signs two new tenants, finishes face lift
Quail Corners Shopping Center is wrapping up its $6 million redevelopment project, and developer CNL Crosland Commercial said this week that an Asian restaurant and children's cooking school have signed on as the newest tenants.
Joining the lineup of retailers at Quail Corners will be Umai Sushi & Asian Bistro and Flour Power Kids Cooking Studios. Umai will be 3,300 square feet, and will open in the third quarter of this year. The restaurant will serve Japanese, Thai, and Chinese food, with 100 seats and a patio area. Restaurateur Huy "Ricky" Zhao is opening the store.
Flour Power will open a 2,000-square-foot store in July. The company, which has a Raleigh location, will offer weekly classes for kids (and adults), as well as summer camps. Themes for the cooking classes will include "Thankful for Thanksgiving" and "Around the World in Five Days." Owner Susan Caldwell said the classes will build self-esteem, reinforce science, math, and reading, and teach kids an essential skill, cooking.
And after
Work has been ongoing at the Harris Teeter-anchored development since 2011. In addition to the newly-announced tenants, Wolfman Pizza and Salsarita's have reopened in a new location, McDonald's will open this month, and a new, 9,000-square-foot courtyard plaza will host weekly music outdoor on Saturdays starting in May (April). Harris Teeter expanded and remodeled as well.
Nearby residents had expressed worries about the addition of a drive-thru, saying they were worried about traffic. But the restaurant won approval. "Fast food often has a stigma because of perceptions of the worst stores, however bad examples reflect the neighborhoods in which they are located and we would expect a location at Quail Corners to be a strong, vibrant clean restaurant," Quail Corners notes in its online FAQ.
Posted by Ely Portillo at 3:25 PM
The new Wolfman Pizza is a classic fail. Tiny and cramped with the bar facing the food prep area. Pizza is the same but Beer and wine choices are a complete joke.
If you have more than four in your party, good luck in finding a place to sit down together.
We ate at Wolfman's last week. It was disappointing. It has a nice new look but boy is it small! Probably half the size of the former location and a very narrow space. Really weird layout.
We won't go back as there are too many other good spots where you don't feel like you are eating inside a bus.
Looking forward to the new Asian restaurant coming in.
Stephen said...
Quail Corners was great before the remodel. It was always great since it was built. Then they ran off long standing successful tenants, made the exterior bland and generic, and created a giant mess of a parking lot. Good job.
Oh and another McDonald's because 5 within a mile radius isn't enough.
And the McDonald's is a FAIL already too. We tried to eat breakfast there this morning but the dining area was over run with kids cutting class. They only seemed interested in hanging out and clogging the aisles with their friends, and we couldn't get to the counter to order. We live in the neighborhood, and won't make that mistake again.

Mojo! Mooooooooojooooooo! Has anyone seen my mojo?
Remember in my summer catch up post the other day I mentioned my quest to lose more weight?
Oh well, you can go back and read it later.
I have completely lost my mojo. Back in May I started logging and paying attention to everything I put in my mouth. I adopted the motto "it can't possibly taste as good as being healthier feels." I was eating a very clean 1200-1500 calories a day and was never hungry, had very few cravings, and didn't feel guilty for splurges because I was in "my zone". I was going to the gym (Zumba, particularly) 5 times a week. By mid-June I was down 16 pounds. I am still down 16 pounds, which is good, I know. It came off slowly and I am obviously doing enough to keep it off for the past 3 months, BUT I just wish I could get my mojo-vation back. I was on a roll! But I have felt super lazy recently.
I feel like if I publicly put "IT" out there then I just might get it back.
I need to start logging again. I personally LOVE sparkpeople.com and their iphone app for counting calories. I also need to get back in the gym at least 5 times a week, again. I enrolled in a 10-session small group personal training with a friend of mine who is a trainer. I love it but it's only 2x/week and I am being kinda slack only adding an additional day or two to that in the gym. I have not been paying great attention to my eating habits and I REALLY want to. I have heard the breakdown is 80% what you eat, 10% exercise, and 10% genetics. I truly believe that.
Lose 25 more pounds and run a 5k (that's it) with a few precious girlfriends who have the same goal (one of them is right here). None of us have any intentions of being marathoners. We just wanna check it off our bucket lists. I also secretly want to do a triathalon, but I need to get through these other things first.
Ok. So that's a little better. But I gotsa looooooong way to go!
Now. If someone, anyone has seen my mojo, please tell it to come back!
Oh and prayers are also welcome. Thanks, y'all!
In your first paragraph you mentioned that you have started logging. Please tell me more, that's quite a workout! Just kidding, keep up the great work you look GREAT!

This is a great series. Infinite Vacation is at issue #2 – and I am totally hooked. It's a mix of concepts that are not new; it's got some Source Code in it and elements of time travel/split time line type stuff, etc. – but the take on it is so unique and well done that it doesn't matter. The concept is that there are infinite versions of all of us on different timelines, but the unique element is that there's a smartphone app in this comic's universe that let's people purchase the ability to be in that timeline. That's cool stuff. The artwork is really interesting, and although it's not always clear what is going on in some panels because of the artwork's style, it grows on you and adds to the story. I like how it jumps from the type of art from time to time, as well. For instance there are sections where it's real-world photos of actors in it instead of artwork, which might not sound great, but the execution is well done. I'm just sad it's only a 5 issue run. I can see how it might not be a sustainable book over multiple issues and that's why it's a limited run, but it's sad just the same.


Dementia affects 47.5 million people globally, and 7.7 million new cases are diagnosed every year. There is a common misconception that dementia is a disease, when in fact dementia is caused by lots of diseases. The word dementia is an umbrella term for the symptoms caused by these diseases such as confusion, memory loss, and personality change.

Generating quantitative models describing the sequence specificity of biological processes with the stabilized matrix method.
Peters B1, Sette A.
La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, 3030 Bunker Hill Street, Suite 326, San Diego, CA 92109, USA. bjoern_peters@gmx.net
Many processes in molecular biology involve the recognition of short sequences of nucleic-or amino acids, such as the binding of immunogenic peptides to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. From experimental data, a model of the sequence specificity of these processes can be constructed, such as a sequence motif, a scoring matrix or an artificial neural network. The purpose of these models is two-fold. First, they can provide a summary of experimental results, allowing for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in sequence recognition. Second, such models can be used to predict the experimental outcome for yet untested sequences. In the past we reported the development of a method to generate such models called the Stabilized Matrix Method (SMM). This method has been successfully applied to predicting peptide binding to MHC molecules, peptide transport by the transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) and proteasomal cleavage of protein sequences.
Herein we report the implementation of the SMM algorithm as a publicly available software package. Specific features determining the type of problems the method is most appropriate for are discussed. Advantageous features of the package are: (1) the output generated is easy to interpret, (2) input and output are both quantitative, (3) specific computational strategies to handle experimental noise are built in, (4) the algorithm is designed to effectively handle bounded experimental data, (5) experimental data from randomized peptide libraries and conventional peptides can easily be combined, and (6) it is possible to incorporate pair interactions between positions of a sequence.
Making the SMM method publicly available enables bioinformaticians and experimental biologists to easily access it, to compare its performance to other prediction methods, and to extend it to other applications.
Input training data. The <TrainingData> element consists of a series of <DataPoints> (2). Each contains a sequence and a measurement value. The characters allowed in <Sequence> are specified in <Alphabet> (1), and the number of characters has to correspond to <SequenceLength> (1). In this example, <Alphabet> and <SequenceLength> specify 8-mer peptides in single letter amino acid code. Each measurement can optionally be associated with a threshold (3) that can either be <Greater> or <Lesser>, signaling that the measurement corresponds to an upper or lower boundary of measurable values.
Generating quantitative models describing the sequence specificity of biological processes with the stabilized matrix method
BMC Bioinformatics. 2005;6:132-132.
Converting sequences into matrices. Input sequences of three nucleic acids each are converted to rows of a matrix H. The first column of each row is set to 1, which serves as a constant offset added to each prediction. Columns A1 to T1 contain a binary representation of the first residue in the sequence, in which all columns are set to zero except the one corresponding to the residue. The same is repeated for the second and third residue in the sequence in columns A2 to T2 and A3 to T3. The two last columns G1A3 and A2A3 contain pair coefficients explained at the end of the results section. They are set to one if the two specified residues are present in the input sequence at the two specified positions and zero otherwise. Multiplying matrix H with the weight vector w results in a vector ypred of predicted values for the sequences. Rows A1 to T3 of vector w are commonly written as a 'scoring matrix' which quantifies the contribution of each possible residue at each position to the prediction. Rows G1A3 and A2A3 of vector w quantify the impact of the pair coefficients.
Sequence position dependent regularization. Example for the regularization term tw Λ w in equation (2). The weight vector w corresponds to a scoring matrix for three nucleic acids as in Figure 2, but without pair coefficients. The diagonal matrix Λ has three different values Λ1, Λ2 and Λ3 effecting values in vector w corresponding to sequence positions 1, 2 and 3. There is no regularization penalty on the 'Offset' value.
Iterative model fitting using the L2<> norm. In this example, the model is a linear function which is fitted to a set of paired values (x, ymeas). For two of the x values (x = 3 and x = 5), the measured values are thresholds (Greater 3). Fitting a linear function to paired values according to the L2 norm corresponds to the standard linear regression. A depicts the model fit (straight line) to the measured values (black boxes), ignoring any thresholds. For x = 5, the model value ypred taken from the regression curve is 3.4, above the measured threshold value 3. Therefore, in the next iteration the ymeas* value is set to the model value 3.4. B shows the new linear regression with the adjusted ymeas* values. This procedure is repeated until the ymeas* values no longer change (8 iterations, panel C).
Combining peptide and library data improves prediction quality. A set of 449 9-mer peptides with measured affinities for TAP taken from [20] was split into 5 blind sets. For each of these blind sets, predictions where made from different size subsets of the remaining peptides. The x-axis depicts the number of peptides in these subsets used for generating predictions using either the peptides alone (circles) or in combination with data from a combinatorial peptide library (squares). The dashed line displays the prediction of the library alone, which was taken from [15]. The y-axis depicts the L2<> distance of the predictions for the combined 5 blind sets.
Visualization of prediction quality. Scatter plot of predicted vs. measured affinity for peptide binding to TAP. The depicted prediction corresponds to the data point in figure 5 with the lowest cross-validated distance, in which 350 peptides and the peptide library were used for training.

Neverland at Vault Festival review: An immersive journey through mirth and misfortune
Peter Llewelyn Davies (Michal Ish-Horowicz) takes flight in Neverland at The Vaults
© S R Taylor Photography
One of the headline shows at this year's Vault Festival is Neverland, an immersive theatre musical experience. Following its successful debut in Sheffield last year, the production has an eight-week run at the atmospheric tunnels below Waterloo station. The show is from The Guild of Misrule, the company behind the hit Great Gatsby Musical from last year's festival. Arriving at The Vaults from the Leake Street tunnel, you follow the neon lights to reach Neverland at the end. As with many immersive theatre productions, you need to let down your guard and embrace the madness, preparing to take on a character or revert to childhood. For Neverland, be prepared to do both.
Upon entering, audience members are greeted by some of the Lost Boys and the Llewelyn Davies family, who quiz you with childlike wonder with innocent questions and Edwardian references. My friend, who works online, completely confused Michael Llewelyn Davies (Casey Jay Andrews) by trying to explain the internet and Google. The premise is the story of author JM Barrie's (Dominic Allen) relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family, who inspired the characters of Peter Pan. There are many elements of the Pan storyline interwoven with how Barrie came up with the plot as we jump from Edwardian Kensington to Neverland to WWI.
The show mainly takes place in a cavernous tunnel, with audience members broken into groups at times and taken into smaller rooms. We start in 'real-life' Kensington as three of the Llewelyn Davies boys; Michael, George and Peter, prepare to go to bed encouraged by family friend Jim, aka Barrie, and their mother Sylvia (Simran Hunjun). It isn't long before we are transported to Neverland and introduced to the Lost Boys with singing and dancing. It was a hilarious sight to see fellow audience members, myself included, trying to perform a jig while trying not to spill our cocktails and G 'n' Ts. Blurring the lines between the story of Peter Pan and Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family, it isn't long before 'mother' dies, referencing the premature death of Sylvia in 1910, leaving her children orphans just three years after the passing of her husband.
Simran Hunjun as Hook
Early on, my group of audience members were led into the ship cabin-like treehouse with 'mother', who metamorphosed into Captain Hook. One of my favourite parts of the show were my several excursions to the treehouse, where we established our pirate names, downed shots, recalled childhood memories, interacted with the foul-mouthed and fabulous Hook and shouted expletives at Barrie and the Lost Boys. However, when you are in one of the smaller rooms, you can miss out on some of the narrative elsewhere, which was momentarily confusing at times. The show certainly involves a lot more audience participation than other immersive productions I've seen. Throughout the evening, various audience members were invited to perform readings, dance, and even have a nap. Crouched down on bended knee brandishing a toy gun and shooting into stroke-lighting for a pirate battle was particularly surreal.
Prepare to spend 90 minutes in a contrasting, if sometimes chaotic, mix of childhood fun and moving, poignant moments. While the physical action and immersive parts of the production can be entertaining, the themes of loss are incredibly sad. The tragedies of the Llewelyn Davies family and the experiences of the boys in WWI, one of which who was killed in battle, are explored with symbolism and song. The multi-talented cast certainly put us through our paces as they moved effortlessly from acting to singing to acrobatics to playing a range of instruments. Hunjun as Sylvia/Hook was a particularly strong singer and was given space to showcase her wide range. At times, the tunnel's acoustics made it difficult to hear what was being said, but we certainly enjoyed the versatility of the space with its various rooms. While the traditional Peter Pan story was more of a sub-plot during this production, don't worry – Peter does get to fly.
Neverland is on the Vault Festival from 24 January – 18 March 2018 at The Vaults, Leake Street, Waterloo, SE1 7NN. Nearest stations: Waterloo or Lambeth North. Shows at 7pm. Tickets: £26.50. Over 12s only. For booking, visit the Vault Festival website.
