The wife of Pastor Jon Carlisle has overseen the kitchen and table setup of the annual event at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church for seven years. It unites various churches in Coshocton for worship in the weeks leading up to Jesus Christ's death and resurrection at Easter.
Carlisle said that, every week, a new church provides volunteers to make soup, serve, set up and clean up. There's about 10 volunteers per church per week. She starts planning about two months before. She contacts the churches that will help out from week to week as well as orders supplies such as cups and plasticware.
"We have people with different capabilities, some younger, some older. They do what they feel they can do," Carlisle said. "I couldn't do this just myself. It's important to have a collaboration of different churches."
Soup to go is only 50 cents, and to eat at the lunch is a suggested donation of $4. Carlisle said the organizers like to keep the prices low because they know many low-income people attend the event, which could provide their only hot meal of the day.
"There's a lot of people who don't have a whole lot. This is a time they can sit down and eat," Carlisle said. "A majority of the people are elderly and on a fixed income. They can have a nourishing meal and hear an important message."
She makes sure any leftover soup goes to where it's needed. That could be at the local women's shelter or to people serving the community at the Coshocton Fire Department, Coshocton County Sheriff's Office or Coshocton County EMS.
Carlisle also will make extra items for the lunches. Last week, she made 14 dozen cornbread muffins.
Running a kitchen is nothing new, as she founded and helped run a soup kitchen for people in need at her husband's previous appointment in the Beaver Falls, Pa., area. Carlisle is proud to say that venture is still going and has expanded to include an after-school mentoring program and a clothing closet. The couple moved to Coshocton in 2001.
She also makes quilts she has donated to Relay for Life, Coshocton Hospital and the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus. She recently retired from Coshocton Hospital as an obstetrics nurse.
"It's a satisfying kind of feeling to make (a quilt) for someone who has maybe never received a gift like that," she said.
As Carlisle sees it, helping others is helping yourself.
"As you get older, it's important to keep you young," she said of community volunteering. "There are studies out there that people who volunteer are happier and healthier."

Cast 67: Interactive
Thanks to everyone who got in touch. In this show, we respond to the following mails and calls:
Mobile Data Petition: Thanks to Brian for suggesting this e-Petition on the Government website: Mobile phone data should be free to use, unhindered, in any way you wish. Gets our vote. Please sign it guys!!
iPhone 5: We heard from Jack Jacobs, asking about the release date for the iPhone 5. When the next phone from Apple arrives, we expect it will have an HD screen, and updated camera, wireless sync plus new software in the form of iOS 5. We understand that the original date of the 12th of September may have slipped, with an early-to-mid October date now being more likely. Keep an eye on our News Page for updates on the iPhone 5.
eTRV Radiator Controls: Next, Paul Eaves got in touch. He says " Enjoyed the last show, especially the bit about electronic radiator valves. I was on the verge of buying 7 for my house but then discovered that you can only buy 1 unit with 1 remote controller. I asked the manufacturer's sales people why I would want to pay for 6 "spare" remotes and they said that I should regard the remotes as a free bonus. I won't be buying any now. ". Sorry to hear that Paul.
Internet TV boxes: Kevin Griffiths asks: "I've just upgraded my internet to fibre broadband and I want to know more about what internet tv options I've got. I'm not with BT for my broadband (I'm with PlusNet) so I assume BT Vision is out of the question. I've looked at LoveFilm and the various devices it recommends although I don't really want to buy a brand new telly. I was wondering what internet tv boxes are worth looking into, and what services (subscription or otherwise) I have access to." If its movies you're into, it might be worth taking a look at Apple TV, as we reviewed in Show 57.
Home Wi-fi printing: John asks: "I am interested in buying a Wi-Fi printer for home. However, there seems to be competing standards. Is there one that does it all? It would be good to print from iPhone and Android mobiles on the move as well as from PC's in the house and perhaps the PC at work over the Internet.". Well, what you need is a printer that supports 802.11g (at a minimum) and WPA encryption (for security). If you have an Apple device, you might want to look for an HP printer that supports Apple AirPrint. There's also a cunning app for iPhone users: Eurosmartz Print. (More on this app in Show 69).
Printing from the iPhone with the Eurosmartz Print app
Broken Mobile iPlayer: Steve King's been in touch. He asks: "Can any of you please shed light on why the BBC iPlayer recently stopped working on some mobile phones? Is this a permanent loss?". Pete thinks that Steve may be using a Samsung mobile phone, as there is the following message on the BBC iPlayer Support page: "We are currently investigating user reports that Samsung mobile users are experiencing difficulty with BBC iPlayer on their device". We guess Aunty Beeb is working on a fix for you!

In the heart of the Lake District there is a place unlike any other. Far from the bustle of Lake Windermere lies the tranquility of Ullswater. There on the banks of this beautiful lake is Dobbin Wood. Trees of every type seem to clamour for your attention as you follow one of the secluded paths to the shore line of Ullswater.
As I stood looking across the lake on my first visit, shivering just a little, the inspiration for this design was born. Dobbinwood is the wrap that would have kept me warm that day, and I hope it's the wrap that will keep you warm on all your woodland adventures.


Back in 1954, psychologist Paul Fitts published an article the detailed his theory on human mechanics as it pertained to aimed movement. It was Fitts' observation that the action of pointing to or tapping an target object could be measured and predicted mathematically.
Fitts stated that the size of the target object along with its distance from the starting location could be directly measured, allowing him to model the ease at which a person could perform the same action with a different target object.
In 1954, this theory had no application for computers yet; however, it shouldn't take a modern designer long to discover the powerful meaning this formula has in the context of user interfaces.
Because of this, Fitts' law has become a staple in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), and has become one of the most accepted guidelines in the industry.
Fitts' law, at its simplest form, is common sense. The bigger an object and the closer it is to us, the easier it is to move to.
Fitts' law is a model that can help designers make educated decisions in user interfaces and web page layouts. It can be used in conjunction with design theories such as visual weight to give user interface items proper hierarchy and placement.
Consider the potential financial gain generated by the proper design and placement of interactive buttons on e-commerce websites (such as add-to-cart buttons). For example, a study conducted on an e-commerce site showed a 34% increase in conversions simply by relocating the site's add-to-cart button to the left navigation menu. Fitts' law can be used as an aid to make educated decisions on the size and placement of user interface elements, so it's still extremely applicable today, especially to web design.
Fitts' law is centered around a mathematical equation that is used to illustrate the time it takes to reach a target object. A target object, in the context of UIs, can be any interactive element, such as a submit button, a hyperlink, and an input field in a web form. The idea is this: The quicker you can reach a target object, the more convenient and easy it is to use.
a and b are empirically determined regression coefficients, which is basically a fancy way of stating they are values gained from direct observation that build a slope.
Note that only the width dimension of the target object is taken into consideration; height and depth is disregarded in a 2D/plane medium such as monitor screens. Therefore, an object that's 500 pixels wide but only 2 pixels tall doesn't seem like a usable target object since it'll be more difficult to click on; use your better judgment and consider replacing width with height if it makes sense. Also, use the model in conjunction with other design theories you already know.
Fitts' law is applied one axis at a time. However, in user interfaces on a 2D/plane, it's important to remember that both the height and width of an object play a role in the object's ease of use.
One of the most important lessons we can take from Fitts' law is that, while a larger button is clearly easier to click on, it isn't necessarily the most optimal. This is counter to what many user interfaces do with their oversized call-to-action buttons and submit buttons.
Bigger items aren't always more optimal than smaller items in the Fitts' Law model. Source: elliotjaystocks.com.
Fitts' law is a binary logarithm. This means that the predicted results of the usability of an object runs along a curve, not a straight line. In web design, this means that a very small object will become significantly easier to click when given a 20% size increase, while a very large object will not share the same boost in usability when given the same 20% boost in size.
The Fitts' law model is a binary logarithm.
This is great news for designers across all platforms. This non-linear relationship protects our precious and scarce pixels. Our ability to measure gains in usability based on a non-linear increase of size allows designers to build efficient and clean interfaces. Remember this non-linear relationship when you are adding images or forms to a site. There's a reason why businesses such as Realtors® don't have forms that take up half of their site to contact them, because it wouldn't be logical.
If bigger was consistently better, we could expect to see that "Add to Cart" buttons that take up a significant portion of our screens will be the most usable. Functionally and holistically, we know this isn't true.
Apart from size of the target object, another primary factor in Fitts' law is the distance between where the mouse pointer currently is and where it needs to be.
Placing key site components far apart will increase the amount of time required in completing sequential tasks in your interface.
We all know that grouping common interface items together is a standard practice in design. It makes finding similar objects easier.
For example, notice how, in the FreshBooks interface, groupings of similar interface elements are created.
We can see Fitt's law in action most clearly in the New Invoice button. Because of its size, it's easier to click on. Its location closer to the top of the screen, assuming that the mouse pointer starts at the top of the screen, means that it's the easiest button to click on. This makes sense hierarchically because this is the primary action you'll likely want to perform on this screen.
Additionally, the shorter distances between buttons that are similar to each other make them easier to use.
Combine and negotiate the Fitts' law model with other concepts such as Gestalt principles, power structure for visual hierarchy, symmetry, human behavior theories, etc., and you'll be developing UIs based on reasonable and scientific design decisions.
What About the Prime Pixel?
The key to optimizing user tasks is to know where the user is coming from before directing them elsewhere. Unfortunately, for web designers, we are already at a disadvantage here.
In HCI, there is a pixel that is more important than all of the other ones on the screen. This super pixel is aptly named the prime pixel, and as such, it yields the most power.
The prime pixel is the reference used for the single point of space that your input device's cursor is currently on. For every computer interface, the distance of a target object will always be measured by how far it is located from the prime pixel.
Desktop software frequently takes advantage of this concept. For example, in Windows, any time you right-click inside desktop software, a contextual menu of options usually appears that has its point of origin at the prime pixel (as illustrated below).
For example, If a user is navigating to a web page in your website via a horizontal navigation bar at the top, we know that the prime pixel for the next web page will be located somewhere in the clickable regions of items in the navigation bar. Assuming the mouse isn't moved after clicking on a navigation link, we can guess that the last clicked or hovered position of the mouse cursor is the prime pixel for the next screen. This helps a lot in sequential user actions.
This logic may be most powerful in multi-step online processes such as a check out or sign up web form. A web designer should always consider how far the button for the next step of the process is from the last input field, as well as where that will place the user's cursor when the next screen loads up.
While the prime pixel is the most important location point on a computer screen, it's just one of five "magic pixels" that come into consideration when designing an interface.
The four other magic pixels offered up by our screen come at each of the four corners of the screen.
Web designers are, yet again, at a disadvantage here; for our sake, it almost inverts the purpose of these magic pixels.
The sides and corners of a screen play an intriguing role in Fitts' law because they provide a boundary that wouldn't exist in the real world.
Essentially, this provides a shape of unlimited size in the formula resulting in enormous value. Since a user doesn't have to stop at the right hand corner of their screen, for example, hitting the button that closes the window becomes a very simple task.
However, if the option to close the window were to consume the top right hand corner of the screen but not include the pixels closest to the edge, it would become quite frustrating to use.
Since a website lacks the ability to consume any of the corner real estate, the corners that are available to us go from being the most valuable assets to the least.
Without the feature of a screen edge that creates infinite size, the corners of a website are consistently the furthest points from the prime pixel.
So how does a web designer overcome the lack of magic pixel power in their designs?
All of the sudden, the corners of our website have become a terrible place to put elements for important behaviors such as login buttons, for example. How do web designers overcome this?
The preferred method now shifts from being side- and corner-focused, to the center of the screen.
If we averaged out the distance the corners of our website have from the prime pixel and compared them to the average distance of the center of the screen, we would find that the center has a distinct advantage.
So web design sees a natural shift from being side- and corner-oriented to being centered.
This makes sense anecdotally: Most people who browse the web on widescreen displays can tell you that they prefer websites whose layouts are centered in the browser, when compared to those that stick to the left or right of the screen.
When your web layout is located at the center of the screen, the user can interact with the browser software and operating system much more efficiently.
It's important to keep interface items that are similar in close proximity to each other to reduce the distance between them, and thereby improving usability under the Fitts' law model. The Gestalt law of proximity, which states that items close to each other are perceived as a group, further reinforces this idea.
For example, your navigation bar should run together, creating a seamless transition between one item and another. Below, while the Home item might retain the same distance from the Blog item to its right, building a gap between them that cannot be clicked decreases the usability of the menu by Fitts' law, since the distance from the starting point to the target object is increased.
Fitts' law is a model that should be in the toolbox of every designer, whether they work in digital or physical mediums. The basic logic found in Fitts' law that insists that meaningful actions should consume meaningful space cannot be ignored.
One of the beautiful things about design theory is that a designer is often welcome to dig into its meaning as deep as they like. A designer who takes advantage of Fitts' law in usability testing or research will discover valuable information that can directly impact the success of a website.
The model can sharpen your design sense and improve your decision-making. Use Fitts' law to defend design decisions or introduce a suggestion to relocate certain interface elements when planning a site redesign. It won't be long before you see how often these core theories can predict effective and usable designs.

An abdominal mass is usually first detected on palpation of the abdomen during physical examination. Sometimes the mass may be too small to palpate, or within the confinement of an organ, and therefore not found on physical examination. Such masses are usually detected on ultrasound examination of the abdomen, either as an incidental finding or when investigating other presenting signs. This chapter deals with clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment.

Osbalwick Primary School sits just outside of York and it caters to pre-school Nursery and Reception classes up to Year 6. Located close to the city centre, they offer enriching opportunities to facilitate the best learning experiences for their pupils. They have also developed a broad curriculum, allowing for engaging learning challenges that inspire pupils to make the most of their talents.
John and Rich headed to the school earlier this week to craft bird boxes and fairy doors with the Year 6 mathematics class and they enjoyed it just as much as the children!
After spending a few hours demonstrating the skill that is needed to build and carve some of our products, they then allowed the children to get involved, showing them that joinery can be exciting.
After visiting the school, we received amazing feedback from Mr Brown, teacher of the class, who was more than complimentary about us, saying "Thank you so much for inspiring and teaching our Y6 maths class today. Teaching practical skills and drawing upon your experience resonated with many of them.
"Not only did all the pupils enjoy it but felt a great sense of pride having made a very robust and workable bird box."
Mr Brown also commented that his pupils have also planned who they plan to give their creation to, or where it will go in their garden, which shows how passionate they were about getting involved in the task. "All in all the children loved it - who knows, you may have been the catalyst for inspiring the next Osbaldwick joiner or master carpenter!" he added.
At Playscheme, we think it's so important to expose young children to different creative tasks; something outside of their usual comfort zone. As the teacher commented, it's introduced joinery to his class, and mamy of them have gained a keen interest in it - this wouldn't have been possible without an opportunity for them to work with our company.

"Unreasonably Dangerous" Products
In 2014, General Motors admitted to serious defects with the ignition switches in millions of its vehicles. The switches could slip out of position, turning off the car's engine and disabling both the brakes and power steering, leaving the car difficult to control. According to Bloomberg.com, the auto manufacturer has recalled 30 million cars since then, and paid at least $870 million to settle death and injury claims, as well as another $900 million to settle a federal criminal investigation. Now, in one of the first product liability suits to be brought against GM stemming from the faulty switches, a jury has concluded that the plaintiff's Saturn Sky was unreasonably dangerous – and yet, awarded no damages. How can this apparently contradictory verdict make any sense? The law of product liability explains how.
Product liability explained
A product liability claim seeks to hold responsible all the parties involved in manufacturing a defective product that caused injury to an individual or several individuals. The relevant parties can include the manufacturers of component parts, the manufacturer that assembled the finished product, wholesalers and retail sellers of the product. Product liability claims in Florida are based upon a theory of strict liability, meaning that if a product is defective, it is irrelevant whether the manufacturer took reasonable care in making it. (See Fl. Stat. §768.81(1)(d).)
The plaintiff in a product liability case must prove that the product in question was unreasonably dangerous for its intended use because of a defect. There are three types of defects:
Manufacturing defects. A manufacturing defect occurs during the product's manufacture. Only a few of the products have this flaw.
Design defects. A product that has a design defect has an inherent flaw and cannot be made safely. This kind of defect exists even before the product is made, and all products made with this design share the same flaw.
Marketing defects. Products with marketing defects may be unsafe due to their nature, but the manufacturer has failed to warn of dangers that would not be obvious to the consumer, or failed to give proper instructions for the item's use.
Unreasonably dangerous defects and causation
Proving a product is unreasonably dangerous, however, is not enough to establish liability. The product's defect must also be the cause of plaintiff's injury. GM admitted that its ignition switches were defective, and the jury found that the defect made the plaintiff's car unreasonably dangerous for the use for which it was intended. But the plaintiff failed to recover damages because he could not prove that his accident was caused by a faulty ignition switch. In this case, plaintiff was in an accident on an icy Louisiana bridge during a winter weather emergency. The evidence showed that at least 30 other accidents occurred in the same place on the same night. The jury rejected plaintiff's assertion that his accident was caused by the defect instead of the weather and road conditions.

Nature of the Case and Issue(s) Presented: Amphetamines are used to treat a variety of disorders, including ADHD. One drawback of using amphetamines, however, is their potential for overdose and abuse. The patents-in-suit disclose modifying amphetamines to decrease this risk. The defendants, except Johnson Matthey Pharmaceutical Materials, filed an ANDA for making and selling generic versions of Vynase, asserting that the claims of the patent-in-suit were invalid and/or not infringed. Johnson Matthey supplied the LDX dimesylate that the co-defendants used to manufacture the ANDA products, and filed a corresponding master drug file with the FDA.
Shire sued defendants, alleging infringement of its patents, then filed a motion for summary judgment that its claims were valid and infringed. The district court found in Shire's favor and found that Johnson Matthey induced infringement of the claims. The defendants appealed to the Federal Circuit, which reversed the judgment as to Johnson Matthey and affirmed the rest of the opinion.
Why Shire Partially Prevailed: Defendants' main argument was that the patents-in-suit were obvious in light of Australian Patent Application No. 54,168/65 ("AU '168") which, they argued, taught the use of the mesylate salt of LDX. Thus, defendants claimed, the modified amphetamine taught by the patents-in-suit described in the prior art. Because AU '168 was listed on the face of the patents-in-suit, the examiner was presumed to have considered it. The Federal Circuit found that the defendants did not provide enough evidence to overcome the heightened burden accompanying this presumption. Nothing in the reference taught combining d-amphetamine with L-lysine to make LDX. Rather, AU '168 disclosed a Markush group whose components could be selected from one of three lists. The first list contained 17 amino acids, the second over 100 combinations of amino acids, and the third an indefinite list of compounds. This disclosure, the court reasoned, did not provide enough specificity to invalidate the patents-in-suit. Further, although an example final compound was similar to LDX, it contained a tosyl group. Because this example was a final product, a person of ordinary skill would not be motivated to remove the tosyl group to create LDX. Thus, defendants' argument amounted to hindsight, and the claims were affirmed as valid.
Why Johnson Matthey Partially Prevailed: Johnson Matthey argued that because it only provided the LDX and did not file an ANDA, its actions fell into the safe harbor of 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1), which states that it is not an act of infringement to make, use, offer to sell, or sell a patented invention "solely for uses reasonably related to the development and submission of information under a Federal law which regulates the manufacture, use, or sale of drugs or veterinary biological products." The Federal Circuit agreed. Johnson Matthey's sale of LDX to the other defendants was reasonably related to the submission of an ANDA and thus fell within the safe-harbor provision.

Blossoms to headline the first non-socially distanced show in Britain
Joe Taysom
@josephtaysom
Blossoms are the headline act at a coronavirus pilot concert at Liverpool's Sefton Park on May 2nd.
The gig is part of an array of government-organised pilot events in Liverpool as England gradually eases lockdown restrictions. 5,000 fans will attend the May 2nd event. However, punters will need to take a lateral flow COVID-19 test at a local testing centre prior to being admitted into the concert. Organisers have also asked fans to provide another test after the show as the concert will be mask-free, and no social distancing measures will be in place.
Blossoms are joined on the bill by The Lathums and Zuzu. Tickets are limited to a one-ticket-per-person basis, and you have to be a resident of the Liverpool area to gain admission.
Promoters Festival Republic is running the pilot show, and the company also look after Reading & Leeds and Latitude. Boss Melvin Benn said: "Live music is a must have in my life, and a year without it is a year too long. The Sefton Park Pilot is the most important event in the Event Research Programme for getting festivals back this year and I'm delighted to play my part.
"It's not about vaccines, it's not about passports, it's not about limiting it to a section of society only: it's about a universal approach to our love of live music for all and demonstrating we can do it safely."
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden added: "We're one step closer to a summer of live events now our science-led programme is underway. Testing different settings and looking at different mitigations is key to getting crowds back safely and the Sefton Park pilot is an important addition to the programme.
"After many months without live audiences, Festival Republic are bringing live music back to fans with this very special event and I hope it won't be too much longer until gigs are back for good."
We're excited to be appearing at the Sefton Park Pilot event in Liverpool with @thelathums & @thisiszuzu on Sunday 2nd May. Tickets limited to Liverpool City Region residents only.

Cafés find board games their cup of tea
Jenny Mayer and Jessica Cooper stare at a chestnut-brown chess board, planning out their next move. Mayer sits by the window, quietly sipping a cup of orange pekoe tea as traffic outside on Dundas Street rumbles by.
For these two friends, The Cardboard Café offers a reason to leave the house.
"It's nice to get out and play a game," Mayer said.
It's Mayer's second time at The Cardboard Café in downtown London, which provides a library of board games to its customers. The first time she came, it was with a group of six on a weekend night.
"We didn't really necessarily want to hit the town and go dancing," Mayer said. "We just wanted to continue hanging out."
Jenny Mayer and Jessica Cooper come to board game cafés for an experience that differs from a bar or coffee shop.

The Cardboard Café is one of several cafés of its kind that have recently sprung up in North America. Josh Bricker, owner of The Cardboard Café, says that board game coffee shops are popular because playing a game provides a social experience for customers.
With a wide selection of games, the café offers a different kind of social interaction where people can have as light or serious a gaming experience as they want. "That is incredibly engaging and what I think board games and gaming in general is all about," Bricker said in an email interview.
Greg May agrees with Bricker that the draw of board game cafés is social. He started The Uncommons, a board-game café in New York City, in October 2013. May says that the cafe provides a better social environment than a bar or a traditional coffee shop.
"We're a pretty popular date spot," May said by phone. "Board games provide a low-impact, easy, intimate alternative to just sitting around."
While the café is a popular venue for dates, most of the customers are already board-game fans, May said. Board games are the main attraction of The Uncommons ― and its advantage over other places in New York City.
"We're not the best bar in New York City, you know? We're also not the best coffee shop in New York City," May said. "We are the best board-game café on the eastern seaboard."
The recent success of board-game cafés, like The Uncommons and The Cardboard Café, parallel the popularity of board games generally, he said.
The draw to board games has increased because, in a poor economy, they are seen as a more affordable, long-term investment than other forms of entertainment, said Mary Pilon, author of The Monopolists. In general, board games do better in poor economic times, Pilon said in an interview from Washington, D.C. where she was attending an event for her book. After the recession of 2008, board games were seen as a cheap mode of entertainment, she said.
"When you think about board games in the context of other consumer products, it makes a little more sense," she said. "If you buy one board game ― that can last for a long, long time."
Board-game cafés offer gamers the opportunity to enjoy a game over a tea or coffee.
The growing appeal of board games as a long-term investment has increased their overall sales. Sales have gone up every year for the last six years, according to ICv2, a board game business news site which tracks industry sales.
Days of Wonder, a board game publisher based in Los Altos, Calif., whose flagship game is Ticket to Ride, can confirm the increase in popularity. The sales of their own board games has risen dramatically. Since its release in 2004, Ticket to Ride has increased sales each year, totalling over three million copies sold, said Mark Kaufmann, vice president of sales and marketing for Days of Wonder.
Part of the reason why Ticket to Ride has sold more copies year over year is the company made an app version of the game, Kaufmann said.
"People were exposed to the game that might not have been interested in playing board games."
That exposure has helped make board games more popular and that popularity will continue, Kaufmann said.
While technology has created more exposure for board games like Ticket to Ride, it may also be the reason why people are turning to pre-digital play. The renewed popularity of board games may also be a reaction to the amount of time we spend each day in front of screens, say experts.
A backlash against technology has driven the increase in popularity, said Pilon, whose book tracks the history of Monopoly. As our lives move increasingly online, there's a desire to have an in-person connection, she said.
"Board games reflect a really clear in-person connection that I think people still crave," Pilon said. "Technology is pushing a lot of that."
As long as people keep questioning their relationship with technology and how much time they spend with other people, then the trends will continue, Pilon said.
Back at The Cardboard Café, Mayer and Cooper have advanced on each other's defenses, but their game of chess sits at a stalemate.
"Was it your move or my move? I don't even remember," Mayer says, with a laugh.

Get LLP Registration To Protect your Business.
A Limited Liability Partnership(LLP) is a separate legal entity enjoying perpetual succession and is independent of change in partners that is rights, liabilities, interests are unaffected. To start a Liability Limited Partnership, minimum two partners are required which would in turn be the designated partners (should be two in number) and it is mandatory that one of them should be a resident of India. There is no maximum cap for the number of partners in a limited liability partnership.
It is ideal for a small business as it is simple to maintain, cost-effective, and entails limited liability upon the partners. This means that unlike other forms of company incorporation, in a limited liability partnership the partners are not jointly liable for the negligent acts of another partner; the liability is limited to the extent of capital contribution of the partner. LLP also has other cost benefits like no minimum capital requirement, lower compliance costs, tax benefits, and an easy incorporation procedure which make it a very lucrative option. However, a Limited Liability Partnership due to the inherent nature is not allowed to issue equity shares and thus cannot raise money from the Publics, and cannot offer similar benefits like ESOPs to the employees.
The cost of formation is very low as compared to any other form of business. Also, the compliances are much lower than other forms of business.
LLP has a separate Legal existence which is different from its owner.
As it is an incorporated entity, it has perpetual succession. The LLP is an artificial entity distinct from its owner.
While doing business as a proprietorship firm, the personal assets of the proprietor can be at risk in the event of failure, but this is not the case for a Limited Liability Partnership, as the shareholder liability is limited to his shareholding. This means any loss or debts which is purely of business nature will not impact, personal savings or wealth of an entrepreneur.

Prince died earlier today (April 21) at age 57 at his Paisley Park home and studiO
Prince died earlier today (April 21) at age 57
LOS ANGELES - MARCH 19: Musician Prince performs onstage at the 36th Annual NAACP Image Awards at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on March 19, 2005 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
at his Paisley Park home and studio, according to TMZ. TMZ reported earlier that police had been investigating a fatality there. Gone But Not Forgotten: In Memoriam 2016 Prince was hospitalized last week after his plane for was forced to make an emergency landing in Moline, Ill. Released a few hours later, a rep told TMZ that he had been battling a bad case of the flu. One of the most iconic musicians in music history, Prince's extensive career grew out of the music scene of his native Minneapolis, where he lived his entire life. His 1978 debut album For You and self-titled second LP, released in October 1979, kicked off an incredibly prolific run of albums that included 1999, Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day, Sign O The Times and Batman, among others, throughout the 1980s at a clip of nearly one per year, evolving with each release. It was 1984's Purple Rain -- his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 -- released in conjunction with the film of the same name, that cemented him as one of the greatest artists of his generation, earning him two Grammys, and Oscar and a victory over Michael Jackson's Thriller for Favorite Pop/Rock Album at the 1985 American Music Awards. Along the way, he worked with several bands under a series of pseudonyms, including The Time, the New Power Generation and The Revolution, as both frontman and producer. Prince was also known for his eponymous Love Symbol, created in protest against his longtime record label Warner Bros., under which he released an album in 1992. His 18th and final album for the label, 1996's Chaos and Disorder, finally released him from his contract. As a recording artist, Prince was legendary for his prolific and perfectionist nature which allowed him to release a steady slew of material as he experimented in the studio; as a result, unreleased b-sides and bootlegs have become highly sought-after collectibles for die-hard fans, and his infamous "vault" of recordings has become the stuff of legend. Yet he was also truly transcendent as a performer, regularly stretching his shows beyond the three-hour mark and showcasing his stunning guitar work, which became an underrated part of his legacy, often overshadowed by his iconic singing voice and abilities as a songwriter and bandleader. Over his 35-plus-year career, he released 39 solo studio albums and never stopped releasing new material; since September 2014, he put out four new full-length records with his latest band, 3rd Eye Girl, continuously experimenting with psychedelic rock and intergalactic funk.

A friend of Tera's named Rik Marin posted the following message in the comments section"I spent all day yesterday with Tara [sic]. We had lunch hung out and talked about life without Wayne she show no indication that she was going to take her life. She did talk about fighting the
depression for the past 2 years since Wayne had passed..I was shocked when I got the call at 1 am that she had passed.. Instead of hating we should all be happy that Tara had made Wayne so happy he really loved Tera. And put in a track of EVIL DISCO and remember Wayne and
the woman he loved...it's really hard for us friends of Wayne n Tera to read these comments..keep Disco EVIL in remembrance of Wayne. I loved you both an will miss are good times at the Dirthouse.."

As many of you know, I've battled my own demons in the past when it came to suicide. I know what absolute bottom feels like and to know that Tera felt that she was at that place just breaks my heart.
I beg of anyone who feels like they're alone and there's nothing left to live for to reconsider. Don't hesitate to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. If you are not in the United States, please utilize whatever resource you have available to you.
Tera, I hate that you chose this path but I truly hope you rest in peace.

It is a weird story. Perrette says she informed the man, who referred to as himself William, that he had a "stunning title" however he simply punched her once more.
She says, "I went into shock ... collapsed on the sidewalk." She says cops got here, she drew a "police sketch" of the man, who was "headed in direction of Hollywood Blvd with homicide in his eyes." Perrette says cops arrested him.

Upcoming 'StarCraft 2' DLC Will Revive The Hero Of The Notorious Vaporware Title 'StarCraft: Ghost'
Manner again within the misty yesteryear that was 2002, Blizzard introduced StarCraft: Ghost, a action-stealth spin-off of the StarCraft sequence. The sport would have adopted Nova, a Terran "ghost" unit, as she snuck into enemy compounds and carried out missions. Sadly, StarCraft: Ghost hit growth points, and was placed on "indefinite hiatus" someday round 2006. Ever since, some determined followers have held out hope that StarCraft: Ghost might at some point rematerialize, and Blizzard has stored that glimmer of hope alive by by no means outright saying Ghost has been canceled.
Effectively, after 13 years Activision Blizzard is lastly getting round to doing one thing with Nova. At at this time's Blizzcon occasion, the corporate announced StarCraft 2: Nova Covert Ops, a narrative enlargement pack containing three new missions. This can be the primary of a number of story packs starring Nova.
"Nova seems like a personality who has a lot story behind her that hasn't essentially been uncovered to gamers. We wished, while you see her in-game, to get that trace of backstory, after which blow that out and make it a give attention to one character, extra of a private story."
So, is that this an indication Blizzard may be taken with doing one thing with StarCraft: Ghost once more, or is it proof that the sport is actually useless they usually are simply utilizing the story they wrote for Ghost for some straightforward DLC? In all probability the latter, however hey, no less than we're lastly getting some kind of closure on this factor. StarCraft 2: Nova Covert Ops will arrive roughly round June 2016.

Marilyn Manson Plays A Hitman In A New Film And The Internet Is Upset
Marilyn Manson occasionally takes time out of his rock-god schedule to pursue acting. He's amused by this new profession and would make a full-time switch if he could. Manson received acclaim for his bit part in the final season of Sons of Anarchy. Now he's appearing in a substantial role in Let Me Make You A Martyr. The indie movie was shot in Tulsa, Oklahoma on a $200,000 budget in July. The trailer, which is framed as a "cerebral revenge" tale, hit the internet on Wednesday.
The film stars a few SOA guys, who roped Manson into doing the film. Mark Boone Junior plays an abusive father. Nico Nicotera plays his son, who is in love with his sister (Sam Quartin). The siblings want to murder their dad, which is where Manson's character hits the story. He plays a Native American hitman. Manson spoke with Rolling Stone about the film:
Aside from taking delight in horrific surroundings, Manson also identified with another trait of his character: "I am part Indian," he says. The singer adds that he did not know Pope was Native American when he took the role because the script didn't specify it. "I really didn't have to change too much about myself physically. I already had just shaved my hair to a Mohawk and it's black already, so without being stereotypical, that seems like the character would have that if he was part Indian. I think originally they had envisioned someone with long black hair."
At first glance, this casting steps into the same territory as Cameron Crowe's Aloha, which castEmma Stone as an Asian fighter pilot (and for which Emma later apologized). This even conjures up memories of Johnny Depp popping a bird on his head and calling himself "Tonto."
Manson is one of the whitest guys anyone could imagine, but he does come from Sioux heritage (on his mother's side). Speaking as someone who lives in Oklahoma, I know several people with Native American heritage who are as white as Manson. Twitter is still pretty upset about how Manson was cast in this role:
Here are some shots of Manson on the set of Let Me Make You A Martyr. He also got bored andwent roller skating while he was in town.

Even More Revolting Details From Bill Cosby's Deposition Have Been Revealed
Ever since video of Hannibal Burress making jokes about the not-so-well-known accusations went viral, the media has been on fire for news about the rape allegations against Bill Cosby. Yet aside from more and more accounts of rape from reported victims, no documented evidence could be attributed to the famous comedian. At least, before the sealed 2005 deposition was released in July. On July 6, the Associated Press reported that Cosby admitted during questioning to administering Quaaludes to young women for the purpose of having sex with them. It was the first time any kind of evidence, let alone a supposed admission, had leaked to the press. As a result, former Cosby defenders left his side, Disney World removed a bust of the comedian from an exhibit, and a White House petition called for his Presidential Medal of Freedom to be revoked. Yet as horrible as all of this is, none of it compares a The New York Times story published on late Saturday, in which the paper got its hands on a copy of the deposition. If accurate, then the portrait painted of the once beloved stand-up comedian and television personality is about to make things a whole lot worse for him, his wife and manager Camille Cosby, and their team:
Even as Mr. Cosby denied he was a sexual predator who assaulted many women, he presented himself in the deposition as an unapologetic, cavalier playboy, someone who used a combination of fame, apparent concern and powerful sedatives in a calculated pursuit of young women — a profile at odds with the popular image he so long enjoyed, that of father figure and public moralist.
No, it's not that bad. It's actually much, much worse.
Early on in the article, the NYT's Graham Bowley and Sydney Ember detail the story of an unnamed 19-year-old model "who sent him her poem and ended up on his sofa," where "she pleasured him with lotion." And remember, this is all from a deposition — an interrogation in which Cosby told investigators about these things, and in great, horrible detail:
He spoke with casual disregard about ending a relationship with another model so he could pursue other women. "Moving on," was his phrase. He suggested he was skilled in picking up the nonverbal cues that signal a woman's consent. "I think I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them," he said. Through it all, his manner was largely one of casual indifference.
His tone here, need I remind you, is apparently best described as "one of casual indifference." The man is well aware of what he was doing, and yet he didn't really care about any or all of the possible implications of wrongdoing. That, or he wasn't capable of recognizing them. Probably the worst bit comes near the end of the article, in which Bowley and Ember recall the story of Beth Ferrier:
He could be dispassionate in recalling former relationships. With a woman named Beth Ferrier, a model he met in the 1980s, he recalled inquiring after her career and her father, who had died of cancer. "Did you ask her those questions because you wanted to have sexual contact with her?" Ms. Troiani asked. "Yes," Mr. Cosby responded. Still, he said he viewed himself as a good person, worthy of trust, and chivalrous in his desire to never tell others about the women with whom he had sex. "I am a man, the only way you will hear about who I had sex with is from the person I had it with," he said.
Obviously, that last part isn't entirely true, as Cosby's legal team has fought long and hard to keep many of the lawsuits and complaints filed against him quiet. Not even the women he allegedly raped were allowed to tell whether or not Cosby had had sex with them:
In the court case, 13 women came forward with anonymous sworn statements to support Ms. [Andrea] Constand, saying that they, too, had been molested in some way by Mr. Cosby. But they never had a chance to pursue their claims in court because, six months after the fourth and final day of his deposition, Mr. Cosby settled the case with Ms. Constand on undisclosed terms.

If My Cat Could Speak
Cats know so many things. They definitely know the meaning of life. They are wiser than you, they are more intelligent than you, and they are generally better than you in everything. You must accept it – you'll never be as good as your cat. But can you imagine what would happen if your cat could speak? That's right – it would judge you. Every step of the way.
My cat always watches me with a look which says, "You're stupid." So this is an illustrated story about the things my cat (I presume) would say if he could speak. And it makes me think I am lucky that he can't…
Feed me, slave!
I have no time for you
You're stupid

As a bookish schoolchild in Galilee, the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish was invited to compose, and read in public, a poem marking Israel's national day. He wrote from his own experience, reflecting on the plight of Arabs forced to celebrate the independence of their oppressor. The following day, he was summoned to the office of the Israeli military governor. The guileless young man was shocked to be upbraided: 'As far as I was concerned, what I wrote and read was what I felt to be the truth … I had no idea that speaking out was dangerous.'
In these days of televised senate hearings, shock election results and constitutional disarray it can feel difficult, even irresponsible, to reflect on subjects other than politics. Yet, as Darwish learned, speaking about the circumstances of everyday life can be a meaningful form of resistance. Mounira Al Solh, interviewed in these pages, has adopted the poet's defence of this 'right to be frivolous' as the title for a five- year-long project. Her written and sketched portraits of refugees from the crises in Syria and the Middle East celebrate the personal and anecdotal, taking as a starting point the relationship between artist and sitter. Rather than treating these men and women as symbols, to be pitied or deplored according to political affiliation, Al Solh documents the experiences – traumatic and mundane – that have shaped them.
That tendency to reduce individuals to statistics is apparent in the immigration detention centres that have sprung up around the United Kingdom, the bricks-and- mortar expressions of a xenophobia that we can only hope is on the wane. Through the testimony of an ex-inmate, Felix Bazalgette considers state systems of control, dehumanisation, and imprisonment without trial. J. S. Tennant, meanwhile, describes life in Havana as Cuba adjusts to the normalisation of relations with the United States, the death of Fidel Castro and the influx of foreign investment. He witnesses the changes brought to the country by consumer goods and Facebook accounts, and buried histories now coming to light. The poems of Nisha Ramayya and Heather Phillipson reclaim the body as the site of politics, foregrounding lived experience over metaphysical speculation.
A different form of dialogue compels Tom McCarthy's reflections on art and literature. Asking what it means to 'take a line for a walk', in Paul Klee's famous expression, McCarthy drifts through the history of twentieth-century art to consider how vanguard strategies of recording, mapping and marking are now embedded in digital culture. His concluding suggestion that the book provides one space in which art and literature can meet is supported by the extraordinary oeuvre of poet, artist and bookmaker Anne Carson, interviewed in this issue. 'Reading and thinking,' says Carson, 'are physical operations. So you can affect both of them by ordering the text as a visual, aural, tactile, choreographic, dynamic event.' Our third interviewee, the great French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, considers whether the arts and humanities can ever again be 'part of the movement of history'.
This issue is bookended by two new talents, Nicole Flattery and Kristen Gleason, winners of the UK Ireland and North American editions of The White Review Short Story Prize 2017. Between them we are pleased to publish a new story by the winner of the inaugural short story prize in 2013, Claire-Louise Bennett. These three stories offer the strongest possible support for our mission, ever since we launched the magazine in February 2011, to promote ambitious new writing. Twenty print issues and almost seven years in, this autumn we launch an anthology looking back at the best fiction and nonfiction we have published. This marks a period of transition for the magazine as the founding editors hand over the reins to Francesca Wade and Željka Marošević. Their first issue, our twenty-first, will open an exciting new chapter for The White Review.
