Thoughts on Splatoon's Global Testfire Demo
Filed to:Splatoon
I haven't been this excited for a new Nintendo IP since... Pikmin? That seems about right. The Big N doesn't really put out tons and tons of new properties every year, and if they do it's usually in the form of a clever new 3DS puzzler or eShop gem.
Splatoon is a big deal for many reasons, but I think the main one is that Nintendo is backing it in an uncommonly enthusiastic way. Usually they know when a title is going to be a winner and they put their efforts into getting it noticed by the general public. The thing is, this only seems to happen with core franchises like Mario and Zelda, which is why Splatoon being splattered (pun intended) all over the web and other media is a good sign.
But let's forget about what Nintendo thinks of it's own game and talk about that Global Testfire Demo. This was a new kind of demo (at least for Nintendo) which was only playable at three very specific times throughout the last 24 hours. I managed to put in a solid two and a half hours of play, as well as spectate my wife playing for the last half hour. There was quite a bit to take in, but here are my main thoughts.
This game oozes personality
Splatoon is a game that doesn't take itself very seriously. It has a very bright and loud '90s look and sound that is more akin to a Capri Sun commercial than a video game. Something that adds buckets of charm to the bizarre futuristic ocean dweller world Nintendo has brought to the Wii U. It's just all so darn cheery and fun. You can't escape it. Even when you get lit up by enemy fire and explode in a combustion of ink and accessories you can't help by smile.
The main characters (i.e. you) aren't fleshed out, mostly due to them being generic inklings you create, but the world around you and the heavy vibes of playtime run amuck are just so enticing that you wish you could stay a while longer in this paint splattered universe. I can think of many games that have similarities to Splatoon (de Blob comes to mind), but the game feels fresh. It is giving players something they haven't seen or experienced and it's intoxicating. And this is just a demo.
Motion controls are... interesting
The demo starts you out in a very brief tutorial about all things Splatoon. Shooting, aiming, jumping, squiding - it's all covered in a balloon filled area that looks like a skatepark. As Splatoon is a third-person shooter of sorts, it's pretty darn important that it handles well. The motion controls were decent (IMO), but they felt a little wonky and times, even with the realigning options of the Y button . When I actually entered the fray of "Turf War" I found myself overcorrecting and splattering everything but my enemies in close range. Which, I guess, isn't a terrible thing in the grand scheme of things. You do want to get paint everywhere.
It should be noted that one can adjust the sensitivity of the motion controls or simply turn them off. They're not horrible. I guess they just take some getting used to. Which is to be expected with any new game. Then again, with them turned off I did find myself doing much better on the whole.
The weapons are great, but the Splat Roller is a tad overpowered
After quickly cobbling together an inkling players were faced with choosing one of four main weapons. There was the Splattershot Jr., Splattershot, Splat Charger and the Splat Roller. Each one had its own distinct advantages and fallbacks, as well as differing sub and special weapons.
The Splat Charger was my first try and it was an utterly painful experience. I could see how others might dominate after the games release with such a weapon, but the charging part (and probably my messy aiming via motion controls) made me an easy target and at times a hindrance to my own team. The Splattershot, both Jr. and normal, were much easier to control and gave me a good amount of both defensive and offensive capabilities I felt the Charger lacked.
Then came the Splat Roller. Initially I pinned it as the worst of the four, due to it's seemingly poor range and unwieldy appearance. Oh how wrong I was. This beast is basically a paint bulldozer and if you can get good enough at hiding in your own ink to escape or sneak up on enemies it can cause some serious damage to the opposing side. I won and lost many matches, but I only lost two Turf War rounds in my time playing with the Splat Roller. It feels almost too powerful, at least for this type of match up. I guess we'll see how other, more powered-up, weapons fare in full game.
Easy to learn, hard to master
There's not much to understanding the basics of Splatoon. As I helped my wife walk through the tutorial it didn't take long for her to put together the few pieces of vital gameplay action that you need to survive and conquer. Shoot things and make a mess. Swim in ink to get more ink, move faster and get away from enemies. That's really all you need to know before you head into battle and it's not something that's going to take you long to get a hold of.
Being able to take advantage of your surroundings, sub-weapons and special weapons are also tactics that aren't too hard to grasp, though applying them can be a bit tricky at times. Obviously when the real game hits stores shelves (and the eShop), it will be brimming with more gadgets, weapons and gear. This will add some serious depth to the average online match. It's certainly going to be one of those games you can hand to a novice and they'll enjoy, but also one that's sure to be analyzed ad nauseam by hardcore Splatoon fanatics. It's great that it can appeal to such a wide spectrum of gamers, and I'll most likely be in that second camp.
In the end I dub this Global Testfire a rousing success. There weren't many technical issues (I think I was booted from two games in my time playing) and tons of folks were won over by the games quirky presentation. It's going to be an agonizing three weeks waiting on an official release after getting a taste, but it sure seems like it'll be worth it.


In the 94 years Kansans have directly elected senators, a majority or plurality of voters have pulled the lever for Democrats three times. The last time this happened was in 1932, when George McGill won a three-way race with 46 percent of the vote. Six years later, McGill received only 44 percent, and the state has elected only Republicans since then.
When Senator Sam Brownback announced his plans to run for governor, speculation abounded that popular Governor Kathleen Sebelius would run for the seat. But Barack Obama made her Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Kansas Democrats were left scrambling for a candidate. They settled on Lisa Johnston, an assistant dean at Baker University. The Republicans selected Congressman Jerry Moran, who represents the sprawling western 1st District, over Todd Tiahrt, who represents the Wichita-based 4th District. Given Republicans' history in the state, Moran should have little trouble in the general election.

If you have an asphalt driveway, you should make sure that you get it seal coated on a regular basis. A seal coating protects the asphalt and makes sure that your asphalt driveway lasts a long time and stays in good shape.
Generally, seal coating can be applied by a large roller or brush. The person applying it to your driveway may dip their application tool into a bucket and then apply it to your driveway or they may pour the seal coating onto your driveway and then spread it out that way. If they choose to do it that way, the person should not dump the entire bucket of the seal coating on your driveway all at once. That creates a risk that it will start to dry or spots will get missed. If they are going to do it that way, they should only work in sections. Dump some seal coating, spread it in an even layer, and then move on to the next section.
Once the seal coating has been applied, you need to make sure that it is fully dry before you start parking your cars on it. If it isn't dried and properly cured to the driveway, you run the risk of having spots that aren't protected from oils, gas, water, salt, or anything else. Your car tires can destroy the seal coating. So, it's important to make sure that you are patient and take the time to let it dry and set correctly, or you wasted time and money.
If you have seal coating applied, you are looking at around two days to wait for it to get completely dry. You may have an extra wait if any part of your driveway is in the shade for part or all of the day. Even if you have waited at least two days, you will want to make sure that it doesn't look wet before you pull your car onto your driveway. A good rule of thumb is that if it appears that it is wet, then it probably is and you just need to wait a little longer.
Seal coating protects your driveway from all sorts of things. For example, it protects your driveway from things like gas and oil that may drip from your car. Since asphalt is a petroleum product, it is vulnerable to other petroleum products, so seal coating keeps that from happening.

The rhinoceros stood majestically on the muddy riverbank, his gaze sweeping across the flatlands spread out beyond. He sighed glumly and nudged the fairy beside him, who was busily adjusting his tutu. Both squinted through horizontal grey rods of rain. "Trouble is," muttered the fairy, brushing raindrops from his beard, "the river's swollen. It'll play havoc with the monks' cassocks — they'll go down like bricks."
For the first time, Essex's Maldon Mud Race would be run along the riverbank rather than across the river, due to the dire weather. Organisers hurried between serried ranks of goblins, Santas, assorted livestock, clergy, Beefeaters and superheroes, reiterating the new course. It was little comfort to the shivering, bikini-clad Viking trying to gain a shred of warmth from her furry, horned headdress.
Along the promenade, a giant statue commemorating a thorn in the side of the last lot of Vikings to wade up the muddy banks glared down at the proceedings. Once, this place was the site of an infamous battle between the Nordic invaders and the valiant Brithnoth, commemorated in the poem The Battle of Maldon. Now, the silent bronze behemoth of a man stands guard at the River Blackwater's entrance, staring belligerently towards two islands, Osea and Northey, where many lost their lives in 991.
Nowadays, visitors prepared to dash across the muddy causeways at low tide can explore the pristine bird-watchers' paradise without fear of encountering the wrong end of a poisoned spear. Essex Man is more welcoming nowadays: pubs huddled along Maldon's harbour spilled cheery beer-drinkers onto the narrow pavements to encourage bedraggled race participants struggling to beat the cold, thick mud.
Several Thames barges provided an iconic backdrop for photographers, framed against a picturesque church that clung to the hill above the exhausted, mud-splattered contestants nearing the end of their peculiarly British ordeal. A Japanese game show host trotted triumphantly past, flicking mud from his bandana, followed by squealing ranks of assistants who seemed flummoxed by the mingling of such barmy madness in this serenely traditional setting.
On the quayside, the fairy grimaced as he slipped off his sparkly wings, grabbed a beer towel and tried to rub off the slime squelching from his Doc Martens. "Next year," he told a unicorn confidently, "I'll start quicker so I don't end up on the churned-up mud behind the leaders." The unicorn nodded encouragingly. "It'll be easier in our mankinis," he replied sagely.

Things we love about the cottage: Corn on the cob
By Lora Kee
We have a pig roast at our cottage every year, and it's a pretty major affair with up to 80 people attending. Lots of people say the pork is the best thing about the day.
But for others, it's all about the corn on the cob.
We have a corn pot that could be used to bathe a grown person of reasonable size. My uncle, a welder by trade, made it specifically for corn at the pig roast. When you're boiling corn for 80 people, you're going to need a big pot. It's always a flurry of corn-grabbing activity when it's ready!
Some of the best things about corn on the cob:
The groove you get in a pound of butter after a few people have rolled their corn in it.
The fact that no matter how much you shake the salt shaker, you can always add more salt, and it never starts to taste too salty.
The different kernel strategies people use: the row-by-row tactic, the random-bites-till-it's-all-gone method, the round the barrel technique, or the (significantly less fun) system of using a knife to cut the corn off the cob. After all, it's called corn ON the cob for a reason!
The amusing corn holders you can find.

Some of the worst things about corn on the cob:
The cobs—they're kind of gross. What do you do with them after you've eaten all the corn?
The urgent need for dental floss.
Butter on your face.
The over-salted feeling your lips get after your second cob.
When someone tries to stretch a batch of corn by cutting the cobs in half—unacceptable!
Running out of corn—whether you've picked up two dozen or six dozen cobs, when you're hosting a big crowd, there never seems to be enough.
Corn is one of the classic foods from the cottage. Whether it's golden bantam or peaches and cream, boiled or grilled, it's always delicious!

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Illustrator, Graphic Designer and Trend Specialist Ellen Kirkhope on 2018's unravel illustration. We spoke to Ellen to find more about the creative behind the work….
Could you tell us a bit about your background and when your interest in art and design began?
I've always enjoyed drawing. In fact I can remember spending lots of my early childhood creating quirky characters for comic strips that I'd give to my Mum and Dad. It was at school that I started to take it all a bit more seriously, enrolling in every possible art and design class and spending my weekends at the nearby art college to practice life drawing. To me there's nothing better than a day spent at an art gallery or museum – and there are so many to choose from in London, I feel spoilt!
You mentioned that you were quite new to being a freelance illustrator. Can you tell us about your creative journey until now and what inspired you to take the plunge and steer your career in this direction?
I was a designer for quite a few years within all sorts of different industries from stationery through to fashion and then latterly I became a trend forecaster for the online fashion & lifestyle website WGSN. Actually, I spent a whole decade there learning the craft of trend forecasting and whilst designing was still part of the role I began to feel an urge to start designing and illustrating again, specifically in my own style so I took the plunge (it wasn't easy!) to try out freelancing.
I like to get out and about around London for at least a day before I start a project, noting down ideas and doing very rough sketches. The next step for me is to create a mood board – normally with at least six directions and i collate images that will help inspire me for each one. Finally, unlike many illustrators, I do my rough idea sketches on the computer. I like the immediacy of the computer – and how quickly you can colour and modify the designs. Once the route has been approved, I tidy up the artwork and off it goes!
We are so excited by the 2018 unravel design. Could you tell us a bit more about how yo u came up with the concept and how you worked on the design once this had been established?
Lately I've been really inspired by different artist's studios and desk spaces (from past and present) and that's where the idea for this design came from. To have your own studio is one of the greatest privileges for a creative person. I used the tools that might be on a crafter's desk and with my love of pattern, I created an orderly layout for the design with the right amount of space and balance.
Do you dabble in any other creative or craft forms in addition to your art, illustration and graphic designer?
I still do a lot of trend forecasting for stationery and fashion. The mood board creation of trends is actually a very creative and visual process. Also, I recently won a competition as part of London Design week to spray paint the ground outside of the tube station – now that was a new experience! I think it's good to push yourself to try new things creatively. It's good to step out of your comfort zone.
When you are working creatively are there certain items you can't do without?
It's sad but true that I'd be utterly lost without my computer and the internet. As much as I like time away from the screen, this is where I do most of my creative work.
Is there anyone in the art or illustration world who you can cite as an influence? What inspires you creatively, and if so is there anyone you follow who you admire on social media?
I'm almost always inspired by mid-century books of any kind. There's a local secondhand book shop near to my house and I find myself continuously lost in the endless shelves there. My current top favourite illustrators to follow on social media are Molly Egan, Lisa Congdon and Ryan Chapman. My instagram account is only just beginning but feel free to follow me here @ellen_kirkhope as I continue on my journey.

Die Schweinebucht (spanisch Bahía de Cochinos) mit den Stränden Playa Girón und Playa Larga ist eine Bucht an der Südküste Kubas im Bereich der Gemeinde (município) Ciénaga de Zapata. Sie bildet die östliche Begrenzung der Zapata-Halbinsel.

Der Name leitet sich nicht von Schweinen (span. cochinos), sondern von karibischen Drückerfischen ab, die in Kuba ebenfalls cochinos genannt werden.

Invasion

Zwischen dem 17. und 19. April 1961 scheiterte hier eine CIA-gestützte Invasion von Exilkubanern gegen die Regierung von Fidel Castro. Die Invasion markierte einen ersten Höhepunkt der anti-kubanischen Aktionen der USA.

Im UN-Sicherheitsrat kam es zu Debatten um die Rechtmäßigkeit des Angriffs. Kuba scheiterte jedoch mit seinem Antrag, die USA als Aggressor zu verurteilen, am Vetorecht der Vereinigten Staaten.

Bernie Sanders Says Hyde Park Made Him a Socialist, Social Justice Advocate
By Sam Cholke and Kelly Bauer | September 28, 2015 8:41am | Updated on July 25, 2016 5:34pm
Sen. Bernie Sanders said many people when he graduated from U. of C. in 1964 in Rockefeller Chapel few would have believed the progress on social issues that have been made in the last 50 years.
DNAinfo/Sam Cholke
Bernie Sanders was scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention Monday night. Last September, he came to the University of Chicago, his alma mater, for a campaign appearance and told how the school influenced his world view.
HYDE PARK — Sen. Bernie Sanders returned to his alma mater, the University of Chicago, a day after a poll put him closer to Hillary Clinton than ever.
The independent from Vermont is running for the Democratic Party's nomination for president and spoke at Rockefeller Chapel as part of the Institute of Politics Road to 2016 series.
In front of a packed crowd of about 1,400, Sanders struck a note of an personal battle for social justice that started at the university where he studied English and then political philosophy while earning as much of an education in the neighborhood's tumultuous political climate of the 1960s.
"I will not go down in history as one of the great students in the history of the University of Chicago," Sanders said during the Sept. 28 speech. "I spent many days in the basement of Harper Library reading everything except the books I was supposed to be reading for class the next day — don't take that as advice. Do better than I did."
Sam Cholke explores what Sanders was like as a college student:
He said Hyde Park was the first place where he met people who had devoted their lives to social justice and civil rights issues.
He said few people during his graduation ceremony in June 1964 would have believed the progress made on many issues or the election of Barack Obama.
"No one in that room in 1964 would have thought it was possible, but it happened and we should be proud of it," Sanders said of Obama, whose home is mere blocks from where Sanders spoke Monday. "It is not Barack Obama, it is the American people reached the maturity that they would vote for the best candidate not just the white candidate."
Lines were around the block for the sold-out event for the candidate seeking the Democratic presidential nomination as a self-identified socialist.
"I learned here about Democratic socialism," Sanders said.
He said his campaign is still rooted in the ideas he learned as an undergraduate, particularly his time outside of class in the neighborhood.
"Change never takes place from the top down, it always takes place from the bottom on up," Sanders said.
The room was by and large students, though open to the public, and Sanders' message on reducing the incarceration rate in the country and doing more to address income inequality and climate change drew enthusiastic applause.
Sanders was questioned by students about how he would pass equal pay legislation and change Social Security with a divided Congress that has at times stymied the more moderate Obama.
Such changes cannot be made without a political revolution, Sanders said to an audience seemingly eager for a change in the political climate.
"There is nothing I am telling you today that is pie in the sky, utopian," Sanders said. "We can accomplish that and more, but we will not accomplish that if 80 percent of young people do not vote, if 62 percent of Americans do not vote."
His message seemed to resonate with the crowd, many of whom signed up as campaign volunteers after the event.
The three members of the Brave and Barefoot Dance Group at the speech said they were inspired to create a dance supporting Sanders.
"More than anyone else I think he's telling the truth," said Jess Santrock, 26. "The things he's pointing out are so obvious, but no one is seeing it."
Santrock and others said even among young people there were strong feelings that Sanders would be unelectable in the general election because of his strong views.
"I have plans after this to get people together from my own group to ask why they feel so cynical about it," said Sarina Sweis, 25.
Others at the speech said they were drawn to Sanders because of his frank discussions of race, women's issues and problems in the prison and education systems.
"He'll make change for the United States and by extension Chicago," said Mikael Lewis, a first-year at U. of C.
Sanders was not particularly fond of his classes at U. of C. and preferred to be out in the neighborhood on fair housing actions, sit-ins or working on the local alderman's re-election campaign, according to reports of the senator's time in Hyde Park.
Sanders was an off-and-on-again student. He started in English and then was off that and on to political science.
In 1963, he was out of the university entirely and took a year to work on Ald. Leon Despres' re-election campaign as 5th Ward alderman. Despres was a notoriously independent alderman and frequently the target of Mayor Richard J. Daley's ire. The well known alderman is still probably spoken of more frequently than Sanders, despite the latter's recent rise to national attention.
Perhaps Sanders, the only independent in the Senate, learned something from Despres, who went on to be Mayor Harold Washington's parliamentarian.
Sanders opened up about his time on Chicago while back on campus Monday, but never did mention Despres.
Some of those at Sanders' speech said they had signed up as campaign volunteers or working to convince cynical friends that he is a viable candidate in the General Election.[DNAinfo/Sam Cholke]
Sen. Bernie Sanders said a "political revolution" would be necessary to move some of his positions through Congress.
Lines were around the block on Monday to get into see Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) talk about his bid for the Democratic nomination for the president.
Rockefeller Chapel was sold out for Bernie Sanders speech at the University of Chicago Monday.
After Sanders' speech, many said he was the only candidate they felt was telling "the truth." [DNAinfo/Kelly Bauer]
An overflow room at the Max Palevsky Cinema for Sanders speech was also standing room only. [DNAinfo/Kelly Bauer]

Q: Is that correct to say "music for any media project" What would be the best and correct way to say:

*

*Music for any media project;

*Music for every media project;

*Music for all media projects.

The meaning of the sentence is that a composer offers its music for licensing to use in different projects such as video, film, podcasts, TV, advertising, etc.
And, in addition, is using the word "media" actually OK when referencing those projects (film, video, podcasts, etc.)
Thanks in advance :-)

Fear of Dancing | Review
by Andrew Parker November 26, 2020
written by Andrew Parker November 26, 2020
Fear of Dancing starts off as one man's attempt to understand his own unusual hang-ups, but branches out to look at why people develop phobias in the first place. A documentary by Canadian filmmaker Michael Allcock, Fear of Dancing starts in a place of comedic earnestness and personal embarrassment, but ends up unpacking quite a bit about the human condition by the time it wraps up.
Allcock suffers from chorophobia, a literal fear of dancing. It's not that he hates other people getting their groove on, but that the sight of a packed dance floor gives him no small amount of anxiety (and in the COVID era, I'm sure other people would share those feelings today that wouldn't have when Allcock shot the film). It's not that Allcock isn't a social person, but ever since high school, he would prefer to strike up a conversation with someone rather than cut a rug with them. He can't share the happiness and endorphin rush that others get while dancing, and in turn, dance lovers can't quite understand where the problem lies.
Fear of Dancing is built around a story structure that nicely builds. It starts off personally, with Allcock gently poking fun at himself while pleading for answers about his affliction. From there, Allcock learns from a therapist that all fears are usually borne from some form of trauma. In some cases that trauma is a drastic life changing event, and in others it can be an innocuous moment that forever alters how a person sees themselves. It can be a conscious fear based on past experience, a detail that was imprinted on them from birth, or something subtler and virtually forgotten about. It's different from a hatred of dance, and once this is established (after talking with Stephen Fry, who both fears AND hates dancing strongly) Allcock's film turns into something a lot more interesting.
A lot of people who fear dancing think that people judge them negatively for their phobias. While it's easy to poke fun at a fear of something so innocuous, I would argue that people who fear rollercoasters, public speaking, or the rain would agree that they feel the same way. Somehow by fearing things that many people find fun or amusing, the afflicted feel like they aren't fulfilling some part of their unspoken social contract with the world. Fifty different people with fifty different fears can have fifty different reasons for being afraid or feeling awkward (all with fifty different potential triggers and degrees of severity), and those fears should be respected and acknowledged rather than mocked.
In Fear of Dancing, Allcock tries his best to overcome a fear he's been conditioned to think is irrational through virtual reality treatment, but it isn't entirely taking. I dare say he learns more from the other people he interviews along the way and how they cope or react differently. Some try to dance in total darkness to avoid being seen. Others allow themselves one day a year to cut loose under highly specific and controlled conditions. Most poignantly and thoughtfully, Allcock looks at two women who come from cultures where dancing is an expected part of customs: an indigenous woman from Toronto and another woman living in Africa. If Allcock's situation is difficult for him to navigate on the dating scene, he acknowledges that there are others whose struggles with chorophobia run deeper than the fear of embarrassment or the promise of an awful time.
It's that grander understanding of humanity and empathy that makes Fear of Dancing so intriguing. Through his own wrestling with feelings that he can't understand, he creates an open space for anyone trying to analyze their own fears and why it's okay to be afraid. Even if a viewer still can't wrap their head around the nature of chorophobia, Fear of Dancing will make a lot of people – similarly impacted or not – feel a little less alone.
Fear of Dancing is available on CBC Gem starting Friday, November 27, 2020.

Check out this page to find out all the peculiarities on VA loan fees. Fees and charges Some of the most common advantages of a VA home loan is the handling of VA home loan fees. V VA home loans and mortgages are simpler to qualify in comparison to conventional mortgage lending, they do not need any down cash, and they also restrict certain kinds of closure charges which VA borrowers can overpay.
And even these finite cost can differ depending on the performance provided. Some of the expenses that a borrowing may entail will be discussed and explained in this paper. Valuation Charge is a charge made to the VA Mortgagor to settle a Real Estate Valuation Statement.
This opinion will establish the actual value of the real estate in question by comparison with recent disposals of similar objects in the area. An VA creditor will charge a valuation charge from the debtor and order the expert opinion from Veteran Affairs. While the VA valuation is made available for use by the creditor, the debtor has the right to obtain a copy of the final assessment when it is ready.
Home inspections are similar to VA appraisals, but instead of establishing the value of the real estate, home inspections look for any repair work that needs to be done in the home. All articles requiring special care are included in the inspector's certificate. Hausinspektion can also contain a Schädlingsbekämpfung, that looks for actual or prior affection by wood-destroying insects how Termiten or Zimmermannsameisen.
Financing fees are used to fund the VA credit guaranty to VA creditors. In the event that a VA loan is in arrears, the VA shall reimburse the VA creditor. Acquisition cost related to a VA loan is reclassified as either repeat or non-recurring acquisition cost. Recurrent acquisition expenses are fees that will be incurred again in the near term, such as interest on loans and household contents insurances.
One-off VA acquisition fees are one-time fees incurred during the VA loan authorization process, such as an expert opinion or loan review. Serious cash investment shows "good faith" on the part of the VA beneficiary that he intends to buy the real estate in question. Serious monies are transferred to the VA beneficiary upon completion.
This various cost are some of the most frequent fees that are charged by vets as their VA loan request is handled and authorized. So there are other VA home loan fees that are involved and there are ways to decrease or remove certain VA loan fees. The majority of fees are not "out of pocket" and can be included in the loan account creditor.
Feel free to call us today if you have any queries about these and other VA loan fees and we will be glad to help.

Q: I need a word encompassing the meaning of free from something Suppose I have a work to accomplish today, but I am not in the mood to finish it. I need the word to comprehend all these ideas.
The sentence to be put in would be like
"Request to free me from the work that I had been assigned today".
"Request to _ from the work that I had been assigned today"
or "Request _ of work that I had been assigned today"
or something close to this formulation.

A: Consider relieve as in relieve me of this burden.

*

*a. to ease, lighten, or reduce (pain, anxiety, etc.)
b. to free (a person) from pain, discomfort, anxiety, etc.
c. to restore (a part of the body, the mind, etc.) to well-being

*a.to lighten the pressure, stress, weight, etc. on (something)
b. to lighten (pressure, stress, etc.)

*a.to give aid or assistance to   ⇒ to relieve the poor
b. to bring or send help to   ⇒ to relieve a besieged city

*a. to set free from a burden, obligation, grievance, etc.
b. to remove (a burden, etc.)

*a.to set free from duty or work by replacing with oneself or another   ⇒ to relieve a nurse
b. (US, baseball) to serve as a relief pitcher for (another pitcher)

In your constructions, you could use the noun form, relief as in I need relief from this obligation.

A: Exempt comes to mind and may be appropriate here.
Exempt: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/exempt_1
I request you to exempt me from the work assigned to me.
Also I think absolve can be used also, though its most common meaning is to free from a responsibility or guilt.See 2 in the link
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/absolve
I absolve you from the work assigned to you.

A: Release or liberate. Liberate is more ideological, release is more legal or relating to protocol.
Of the two I would choose release:

I request release from work.


Heinrich Goerz: teacher, churchman, poet and amateur historian; born 31 August 1890 as one of five children of Franz Goerz and Sara (Unruh) Goerz in Schönsee, Molotschna settlement, South Russia. He married Anna Neufeld, daughter of Jakob Neufeld and Maria (Kaethler) Neufeld in 1952 in Vancouver and died 12 June 1972 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Heinrich Goerz was baptized in 1910 by Elder Heinrich Peters in the Schönsee Mennonite Church, where he also was elected as a minister in 1922.
Heinrich attended school in Schönsee, the Halbstadt Zentralschule, and Realschule in Berdjansk from 1906 to 1910. From 1911 to 1914 he taught at the Memrik Colony. When he was called into service in 1914 he had to teach at a Russian agricultural school near the Ural Mountains. In 1917 he was allowed to return home and in 1918 helped establish a high school in the Memrik Colony, which soon was taken over by the Communist government. During the years of the Russian Revolution and the Makhno raids Heinrich and his family contracted typhoid fever and lost their father in 1922. After having been in prison two times Heinrich with his mother and two siblings immigrated to Manitoba, Canada in 1926, settling near St. Elizabeth.
An attempt to become a farmer in Gruental, Manitoba failed. In 1928 and 1929 Heinrich studied English at the Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna and completed his teacher training at the Normal School in Winnipeg in 1930. From 1931 until 1951 Heinrich Goerz taught in different public schools in Manitoba, as well as in a Hutterite colony. An invitation to join the Hutterites was rejected by Heinrich with the comment: "I would have suffocated in their narrow spiritual atmosphere".
After twenty years of teaching he retired in 1951, moving to Vancouver BC. Here he soon married Anna Neufeld in 1952 and together they joined First United Mennonite Church in 1953. In this congregation Heinrich was confirmed as a minister, elected as church secretary and wrote the "Chronicle" of the congregation for fifteen years until he resigned in 1970, two years before his death.
Heinrich Goerz loved to write poetry and popular history. Many of his poems were published in Der Bote and the Mennonitische Rundschau, and appeared in a self-published collection entitled Gedichte. Goerz also published a little tract of essays entitled: Die Urgemeinde, Die Katholische Kirche und Die Reformation.
Goerz's major historical contributions were the three volumes published by the Historische Schriftenreihe des Echo Verlags: Die Molotschnaer Ansiedlung: Entstehung, Entwicklung und Untergang in 1950/51; Memrik: Eine Mennonitische Kolonie in Russland in 1954; and Die Mennonitischen Siedlungen der Krim in 1957. Since then they have been translated into English. He also wrote numerous articles for the Mennonite Encyclopedia. Finally, the Chronicles of First United Mennonite Church, written in impeccable German and English, will be a gold mine for any future history of this congregation.

Q: Inner query in fusion tables This query will take input from three drop down box and a text box and it work's fine as expected.But my requirement is i need  to use another three drop down box and a text in order to query much deeper.So,i need to hold the result of first query and also second query.How should i do.Help me.
     That another three drop down box value is also obtained from the same variable's as 'operator','textvalue','querypass'.

function querymap()
        {
        var operator=document.getElementById('operatorstring').value.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
        var textvalue=document.getElementById("text-value").value.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
        var querypass=document.getElementById('query-pass').value.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
        var searchStringe = document.getElementById('Search-stringe').value.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
        var searchString = document.getElementById('search-string').value.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
            {

              layer.setQuery("SELECT 'geometry'," + querypass + " FROM " + tableid + " WHERE " + querypass + " " + operator + " '" + textvalue + "' AND VillageName = '"+ searchStringe+"'");

            }

    }

A: You can have as many AND conditions in your query as you want. No reason not to also check e.g. textvalue2, querypass2, searchString2, etc. and add them to your query.  See this setQuery() answer which may give you some ideas.  You'll need to set all your search conditions each time you call layer.setQuery() or layer.setOptions({query: ...});

Emmy time again folks, on of my favorite Sundays of the year. Most people look forward to the Superbowl, I count down the days to the Emmys and the Oscars. The following post is going to do two things. The first thing I'm going to do is simply let you know who won each category in case you missed the show. The second thing I'm going to do is let you know my reaction to the winner of each category, letting you know if I agree and why or why not. I'm not necessarily going to talk about every category because honestly, there are some I don't care that much about but you'll get my opinion on all the big categories.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Who Won: Eric Stonestreet
Who Should Have Won: Ed O'Neill or Max Greenfield
I am not upset that Eric Stonestreet took home this win. He is a very talented actor and deserves recognition for his work in Modern Family. If I were to chose the winner of this award however I would have given it to Ed O'Neill. O'Neill plays a great character in Modern Family and deserves recognition of his own. I'm also upset that Max Greenfield did not take home the win for his portrayal of Schmidt in New Girl. For me, Greenfield makes that show and I think he deserved the win.
Best Writing in a Comedy Series
Who Won:Louie C.K.
Who Should Have Won: Louie C.K.
I would easily have given this award to Louie. He is a brilliantly talented comedian, actor and writer. He created on of the most unique comedy shows on television and deserves this award.
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Who Won: Julie Bowen
Who Should Have Won: Kristen Wiig
Julie Bowen does a great job in Modern Family and is very funny but I believe Kristen Wiig is the funniest women on television.
Best Directing in a Comedy Series
Who Won: Steve Levitan
Who Should Have Won: Steve Levitan
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Who Won: Jon Cryer
Who Should Have Won:Louie C.K.
I am going to come right out and say it, I do not like Two and a Half Men. I didn't like it when Charlie Sheen was in the show and I don't like it now that Charlie Sheen is not on the show. Jon Cryer is a good actor but I do not think he should have won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor. Maybe I bias towards Louie C.K. but I do not understand how he did not take home this Emmy. He is outstandingly hilarious in Louie and derived the win.
Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series
Who Won:Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Who Should Have Won:Amy Poehler
I have not seen Veep so I can't really make a strong case for Julia not winning. I hear good things about the show and I hear she is great in it. I wanted Amy Poehler to win for her work in Parks and Recs as Leslie Knope. I have wanted her to win each year she has been nominated and will not be happy until Leslie Knope gets her Emmy.
Outstanding Reality Television Program
Who Won:The Amazing Race
Who Should Have Won:Top Chef
Top Chef is the only reality television show I watch.
Outstanding Reality Show Host
Who Won: Tom Bergeron
Who Should Have Won: Betty White
Betty White should win everything she is nominated for.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Who Won: Aaron Paul
Who Should Win:Giancarlo Esposito
Breaking Bad is on of my favorite television shows. I think everything about the show is perfectly done and I think Aaron Paul is an outstanding actor. During any other season, I would say that Aaron Paul would deserve the nomination but I nobody nominated in this category even compared to Giancarlo Esposito. Playing the villain in Season 4 of Breaking Bad, Gus Fring, Esposito gave on of the best acting performances I have seen on television. How he did not win this award I will never understand. Every time he was on screen, Esposito proved what a great actor he is by creating a terrifying villain with more layers to him than I thought possible.
Best Writing in a Drama Series
Who Won: Homeland
Who Should Have Won: Homeland
Homeland is another show where I like to use the word perfect when I describe it. A shockingly entertaining and engaging show from beginning to end with writing that grabs you at the start and doesn't let go even after the show is over.
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Who Won: Maggie Smith
Who Should Have Won: Anna Gunn
Again, I have not seen Downton Abbey so as far as I know, Maggie Smith does deserve the win. I know she is an outstanding actress and don't doubt that she brings television acting to another level. From what I've seen, Anna Gunn deserves the win. I absolutely despise her Breaking Bad character but she shows that she is a very talented actress throughout that show.
Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series
Who Won: Boardwalk Empire
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Who Won:Damien Louis
Who Should Have Won: Bryan Cranston
This is a situation where if I had to pick, I would have given the award to Bryan Cranston but that doesn't mean I don't think Damien Louis deserves it. His work in Homeland was outstanding, playing the shows villain or hero, depending on how you look at it. It is a great performance and though I would have voted for Bryan Cranston, Damien earned this Emmy.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Who Won: Claire Danes
Who Should Have Won: Claire Danes
Playing a bipolar CIA agent, Claire Danes earned this Emmy award in a single episode of Homeland, the rest of her brilliant performance throughout the season was just icing on the cake. There was a single scene, and I will never forget watching it, when Danes' character has gone manic. After watching this scene I sat back in my chair and told myself that Danes was winning the Emmy this year and I was correct. Beyond the fact that the writing, directing and acting throughout all of Homeland was amazing, it was Claire Danes' performance on her own that turned Homeland into one of my favorite television shows.
Outstanding Comedy Series
Who Won: Modern Family
Who Should Have Won: Modern Family
I know that Modern Family has already won this many times before and I know that we are all getting tired of having the Outstanding Comedy Series locked down every year but looking at the rest of the nominees, Modern Family really was the best comedy.
Outstanding Drama Series
Part of me wanted to say that Breaking Bad should have won this award but when it comes down to it, I think Homeland was better. The show did not have a weak link or a flaw, it was enthralling and engaging and I am so glad that it was giving the recognition it deserves.
Boardwalk Empire Season 1: Sex, Crime and the Alcohol Wars

I started watching Boardwalk Empire without knowing much about the show. I knew that it starred Steve Buscemi, I knew that it was set during prohibition and I knew it took place in Atlantic City. Beyond those three items, I had no idea what the show was about. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with what the show had to offer. I did find the show to be a little slow at times but they balanced that out by creating a cast of fascinating characters and casting some outstanding actors to play them.
The show is a period piece set after World War 2 during the prohibitions alcohol wars. Spanning three different cities, Atlantic City, Chicago and New York, Boardwalk Empire is steeped in the corrupt politics that connected the cities. The show focused mainly on Atlantic City and the man who runs it, city treasurer "Enoch "Nucky" Thompson. Played by Steve Buscemi, Nucky controls every aspect of Atlantic City from the upcoming mayoral election to the police force which is lead by his brother Eli Thompson (Shea Wigham). Seeming to start the season as a ladies' man, Nucky eventually woos and settles down with Margaret Shroeder (Kelly MacDonald). Believing himself to be a savior of sorts, Nucky widows Mrs. Shroeder by having her wildly abusive husband murdered. Afterwards he provides for her, by giving her money and a job and eventually the two begin a romantic relationship. A non-drinker and a fairly straight edged woman, Margaret is forced to question, bend and even change her morals while with the corrupt man.
As the major players from New York, Chicago and Atlantic City search for ways to illegally obtain alcohol, a war breaks out between Nucky and Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg), the man who controls the streets of New York. Pulling soldiers from throughout his ranks, Nucky begins to work closely with Jimmy Darmody. Injured during the war, Darmody completes the tasks that Nucky "Doesn't have the stomach for." As Chicago attempts to help quell the impending prohibitions war, a young Al Capone (Stephen Graham) pulls himself out of the ranks. Not yet the notorious gangster, Boardwalk Empire portrays Capone during his learning curve. Still immature and childish, Capone's realization that he needs to grow up to succeed in his line of work makes for one of the most interesting aspects of the first season.
The show boasts a number of brilliant performances but most of my favorites did not come from main characters. Buscemi plays the part of Nucky quite well but I still have trouble accepting him as a leading man. His performance is great but lacks the authority his character needs. I had three performances season long that I thought were outstanding. The first I've already mentioned, Al Capone. The writing and acting both serve to create a very interesting portrayal of the soon to be gangster. Another amazing performance comes from the man who plays Richard Harrow (Jack Huston), another injured soldier that Darmody met in the doctor's office. Wearing a mask to cover the hole in his face, Richard helps Darmody with Nucky's dirty work. Still attempting to adjust to the fact that the public now sees him as a disfigured monster, Richard is a heart-breakingly fascinating character struggling to hold onto his own humanity. The final performance that deserves mention is Michael Shannon as Agent Nelson Van Alden of the Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue. A no-nonsense man, Nelson's only goal in life is to please his boss, his wife and God. Nelson is on a mission to take down Nucky and Nucky's illegal distribution of alcohol. Taking on a brimstone and fire personality, Van Alden will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and keep all those around him pure.
Though at times the show's plot can be slow, a wholly fascinating cast of characters keeps the audience fully entertained. Boardwalk Empire has a seemingly expansive area within which it can grow (and probably already has considering the second season has finished). With a solid script and a number of amazing performances, I give the first season of Boardwalk Empire an 8 out of 10. With an impressive pool of characters to continue developing, I expect great things from this series in the future.

29 Days to Diva: Day 27 – Performance is a Communal Experience
February 27, 2017 By sybariticsinger Leave a Comment
"Wow, that was really… wow," gasped Aaron as they left the stage together. It seemed like just a few moments ago she had opened the email from her composer friend, who just a few months before that had been one of those "imposing hipster dudes", introducing them and kicking off this very performance opportunity. But, here they were after a dense and challenging forty minute piece. Our diva had been the vocal soloist.
This felt like she had "skipped a level." She supposed that it was very different from Flora or Frasquita which were the last two entries on her resume. This piece had challenged her, as a musician, in ways that she had never encountered before. She learned new ways to count rhythms. There were instances when she had to approach vowels in entirely different ways than she had before. She even moved her body differently on stage than she had ever perceived herself to do. It was thrilling.
The Day 27 challenge on your journey is to enchant your audience.
She jostled herself into her seat on the train the next morning. Letting her body settle into its space, she felt that wave of "performance hangover" start to make her eyelids heavy. The train began to chug along out of the station and underground for a while before emerging into a marshy field heading out of the city. The sunlight warmed her face as she stared out the window just pondering how she felt in this moment. She didn't feel like she had made some life-altering epiphany. But, she felt different. Maybe just a little different.
Her thoughts turned to all of the new things that had shown up in her life in the last year. What an exquisite adventure, she thought. Sleepily laughing to herself, it felt a bit storybook like… "There once was a diva who knew that there could be more. She went off in search of it. She didn't know at the beginning that there were snares and traps waiting around each random corner. But, she didn't let those setbacks stop her from meeting incredible people, loving her family, and following her dream. She learned lots of tiny lessons along the way. Some felt like windfalls and others felt downfalls."
Is the story over?
The story drifted away right there. Was it over? Was that it? She couldn't bear the thought that this might be the denouement of her singing adventure. "I still have so much to learn!" she faltered. She suggested to herself that this was but a chapter of a much larger story. It comforted her a bit to know that every so often a new challenge or adventure would pry her from her comfort zone and drop her in a new space. "How very Wizard of Oz like," she grinned remembering her own very ruby red slippers from last night's performance.
Our diva didn't feel like she had mastered the problem of living without artistic integrity. However, she felt like she had developed new strategies for uncovering who she wanted to be as an artist, how she wanted to move through this musical world, and who she wanted to surround herself with while on the path. That felt like a major victory in itself.
Performance is a communal experience
She thought back to the experience she had the night before while performing. Transfixed, the audience sat there with eyes unmoving from the stage space. Gone was the incessant coughing and audience noise of other spaces. This was a moment for which our diva had been searching her whole life. The communal sense of the performers music-making and the audience's intentional listening created a perceptible, almost visible, sense of energy in the venue. At times her thoughts had been racing trying to keep up with all of the informational overload she was experiencing. There were sights and sounds that spurred connections and deeper thoughts than she had had yet with the music and she'd been living with it for months!
She could see on some visible audience member's faces that they were energized with their own thought process at the same time. It dawned on her, while she relaxed further into her seat, how incredible special it is that every single person in that space has their own experience with the music. Through each of those individual experiences, they made a communal experience for one another. It stirred our diva's heart to think that this is one of the ways that you can show love, respect, and neighborliness on a consistent basis. More so, she could access that collective grace as both a performer and an audience member.
Enchanting your audience
Performance began to feel less like an unidirectional street that flowed from the stage to the back of the hall. It was less about her putting her work out for a nameless, unfamiliar audience to judge with their applause or lack thereof. It was suddenly about how she could help create more of those experiences for herself and others in a communal space. It suddenly made sense why there were moments that stopped her dead in her tracks when hearing someone busking on the street and when there were moments she would rather be anywhere else than the concert hall. The performance experience occurs in our minds.
She realized that this thought process wasn't encouraging her to drop the quest for better musical skills or better marketing knowledge. Rather, anything she could think of was all in service to the powerful experience she wanted to create. It was about making sure that she could be as musically sound as possible to allow for magical moments to happen on stage. It was about making sure that people who are hungry for the experiences she's creating know about them. And, they are ready to be engaged listeners. It was about making sure that the logistics, of any kind, were carefully attended to in an efficient manner. It was about making it easier to get to the enchantment.
She felt like she was really on to something. Our diva fished her notebook and a pen out of her purse. Flipping to a blank page, she wrote, "enchantment faster." She let the pen nestle inside the notebook and looked out the window once more. Her gaze softened and she felt her eyelids creep down obstructing the view. She started drifting off to sleep while still being able to hear the strains of the music from last night in the back of her mind.

Tractos constitutes an art-technology creation platform which aim at creating tactile-sonorous-interactive maps of territories from the perspective of people living in these places. People who live on the mapped areas are encouraged to collect soundscapes in these localities and to drawn a personal cartography, building a collective and interactive creation. Tractos is a platform which makes use of accessible elements as the language of drawing, sound recording using mobile phones and smartphones, programming by blocs and controller boards Makey Makey, which major interest is to offer to inhabitants of differents regions the status of art-technology creators. In 2015, Tractos was performed in four bordering areas from São Paulo city, in Brazil, localities which develop distinct urban characteristics due to the dispersion of the metropolis. São Paulo is the largest city in South America with 12 million inhabitants. Although this city is the financial capital of Brazil, São Paulo has great social inequality where the rich and well-structured center area contrasts with the more distant urban regions with serious problems of violence, sanitation, leisure facilities and public transport, among others problems. Often there is prejudice about these regions and on the people who live therein, which causes them to become invisible areas even for those who live there. Thus, maps created in Tractos are a way to discuss these areas from the perspective of those who live in that territory, from the construction of their visual, sound and interactive representations. Tractos seeks to discuss this perspective through creations that involve social cartography, soundscapes and the poetic representation of these places using digital technologies.
Tractos is a project coordinated by Soraya Braz and Fabio FON.

'I wanted to say a huge thanks to Laura and her team. The past 12 weeks have truly been life changing. I've lost 2 stone 3 lbs and I have dropped a few dress sizes.

Both the nutrition plan and workout video's have been fantastic. The sessions push me at the right intensity and I have grown to love exercise as a result! Laura and her team have been amazingly supportive and I wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
