I was texting with my best friend in Texas and we were discussing dating apps. There's a lot there to complain about. One thing is so many men and women have sunglasses on in their photos. We don't like it. It hides who you are. So together we came up with the phrase, "Girls with sunglasses." I knew it was a song.
I like this song. The mix was very challenging. I haven't figured out how to get good, loud, balanced mixes. It's tough! I'm learning. Watching lots of videos.
Sooner or later I knew I'd rap again. So here's your chance to hear me rap.
@terrianndriggs1 came over last night to work on another song. But warming up she laid down this great melody you can hear on the choruses and during the rap.
Extra points for picking a perfect tempo for my morning walk, though I almost tripped over writing this comment. This is musically infectious and lyrically deft. Nice work!
Love the rap breakdown! I agree that this needs a celeb filled video.
Hey, this is pretty hot! That's a pumping snare sound you've got, and a super catchy hook. The electropop rap combination reminds me a bit of Lonely Island, so where's you're celebrity-ridden video? But seriously, great stuff here. Great combination of beats and sounds. I like the way the dynamics shift throughout. Oh yeah, and I found this because I discovered the "strangle-disco" tag by accident. What the hell is strangle-disco?
Yes! I mean musically AND the sunglasses thing. I mean seriously. This chorus is just amazing. So so so catchy and just the way the last line doesn't rhyme is genius cos it works but I don't know why!?
Love it, the chorus hook, really get you - I suspect if this was released, with the right artist it will be biiiiiiig Do it, get it out there.
Bro I'm feeling this! Everything works extremely well. The dance beat, the melody, the vocal delivery, the rap, the staccato chorus melody, all of it. The mix sounds good to me. Full and wide. This is a damn good song, James. Feels like the radio single to an album. Nice work!


KRACK or Key Reinstallation Attack is the recently discovered security flaw in WPA protocol, the encryption used by Wi-Fi routers. This vulnerability allows hackers to break the encryption between router and the connected device, accessing all the data being transferred from your device to the router, i.e. the internet.
Now before getting to the fix provided by Xiaomi and other OEMS, let's see how KRACK works. When a user connects to the Wi-Fi, the router uses PA2-PSK encrypted connection to provide an IP to tje desired device. Now that did sound little tricy. Making it simple, the router checks the password entered by the user and if it's correct, provides a connection to the device. That's why it is called PSK, or Pre-Shared Key. The connection is encrypted meaning no one can access the data being shared between your router and device.
When the device connects to a Wi-Fi source, the establishment of connection is a 4 way process, like checking the password entered by user, providing an encrypted connection between the router and device. Now KRACK interferes with the initial stage that actually is not encrypted since router has not provided an encrypted connection yet. This allows to the hacker to decrypt all the data being shared between the router and your device without even being actually on the network! Now that is quite scary!
Once this issue arose and got some serious attentions, Big Players like Microsoft immediately released patches for this. But, what if your OEM does NOT provide you a patch? A simple way is by using a VPN or a Virtual Private Network.
Now note that if you are a normal user living in apartment or colony who uses basic internet like social media, Google, etc. You actually should not be worrying because no one is standing near your house waiting to collect your data. But still if you think that there is someone, you can use a VPN that encrypts the entire connection virtually so that the hacker can not exploit and breach the data between your router and device. But wait! There's another catch. Since you are using a VPN, you won't be able to use IOT devices like Chromecast, smart locks, smart lights etc that are controlled by your device, connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Damn, this thing is complicated!
• Now about the fixes!
OwenWilliams has listed the manufactures who have pushed patches for the same.
Google said that they will be fixing this issue with a patch in the November Security Update, now that's too late! Also considering that it will take ages for this security patch to reach smaller OEMS of the Android market who never give security patch updates.
In the Android department, Lineage OS and Omni ROM, two big players from the Custom ROM Android segment are one of the first ROMS on Android to patch this issue. But, not everyone is using Lineage and Omni.
In the OEM segment, Xiaomi has fixed the patch for a whole bunch of devices, some of them which are actually 3-4 years old.
Now that is really a big list considering how quickly Xiaomi fixed the issue. All the above mentioned devices got the patch on the Developer ROM and should be out for stable as well. There are some devices which are 4 years old and kudos to Xiaomi for releasing the patches. This makes us believe Xiaomi as a brand who supports their devices for a long period.
In the iOS segment, patches have been released in the latest Beta iOS and should be out for stable as well.
What if your manufacturer is dead or denies you a patch? Well, there's actually nothing you can do from your side. Either use a VPN if you are very sensitive about your data, compromising on IOT devices or remain with the exploit on your device.
In the end, Good Work Xiaomi!
Xiaomi 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Launched!


I fully agree with you moco, welcome back mm. On that note.
Please stop necroing a lot.
Very noble goals and ideas there, @Alsan Teamaro. I hope Tilo prospers in the community!
Heyo~ Can't wait to play along side you and your org when Alpha 2 starts up early 2019. Enjoy what DU has to offer in the mean time and don't be a stranger!
I agree with you, simple is good! Ideally you would want to be able to recreate your logo/banner in-game after all. Here's a little something that I've been working on. The original logo was made by @Zralster, I've just been changing it up and playing around with it.


Would you turn your kid in for bad behavior?
You won't heat up the house when you use your microwave to bake individual cakes!
Cheers to your special day with cocktails made just for the birthday girl in mind!
On the rare occasion that you have leftover booze!

Hamilton International Airport Launches "Choose Comfort" Campaign
Restoring confidence in the health and safety of air travel will be a critical component to a robust recovery as travellers comfortably return to the skies from Hamilton International
Hamilton, ON; As travellers look to safely explore the wonders of our homeland and reconnect with friends and family this summer, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport is thrilled to unveil its Choose Comfort campaign. While demonstrating the Airport's commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of all travellers, business partners and employees, Choose Comfort highlights the unique benefits of travelling from Hamilton International.
Clean and Safe Travels
Hamilton International is continually examining each step of the traveller journey through its facility and have implemented a number of new and enhanced health and safety measures to ensure you have a comfortable and convenient travel experience from the time you park your car to the time you board your aircraft. These measures include:
All persons entering the Airport must wear a face covering or non-medical mask at all times;
Only travellers and employees on duty are permitted to access the terminal building;
Persons entering the building are restricted to using a designated, one-way entrance;
Increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting in high-traffic areas throughout the terminal;
Increased audio and visual messaging communicating health and safety reminders;
Installation of floor decals to encourage proper physical distancing in all queuing zones;
Installation of acrylic protective barriers at key communication points; and
Increased touchless hand sanitizing stations deployed throughout the Airport.
Proximity from Curb to Gate
Trying to reach your daily 10,000 step target? Unfortunately, your journey through Hamilton International won't bring you much closer to your goal. On the plus side, you can get from the Airport curb to the boarding gate in approximately 200 steps. With so few steps in your airport journey, this leaves you extra time to grab your Double Double from Tim Hortons and purchase a new neck pillow from the Departures Retail Shop along the way.
Size and Maneuverability
Less levels, less hassle. From arrival to departure, you will breeze through your airport journey as check-in, screening, retail shopping, food vendors and the Departures Lounge are all steps away from one another. With physical distancing floor markers and one-way directional arrows installed throughout the terminal, travellers can move safely and confidently through each touchpoint with ease.
There's no place like home. Hamilton International strives to provide a 'Sense of Place' for all visitors by proudly incorporating elements true to the City of Hamilton, its culture and its 'Welcome to Unstoppable' theme through the Airport's terminal décor and product offerings. Make sure you stop to take a selfie in front of the Hamilton cloud wall inspired by the signature sign at City Hall and pop by Detour YHM for some delicious old school café goodies, a specialty beverage from Detour Coffee Roasters or a Collective Arts craft beer.
As we look towards the accelerated pace of vaccine rollouts and lockdown restrictions being lifted across the country, Hamilton International remains committed to being 'ready for every journey' by prioritizing the health and safety of all travellers, business partners and employees. The Airport will continue working alongside its partners to serve the local community and ensure that people can get to where they need to go with confidence. When you're ready to travel, we're ready to welcome you back at Hamilton International. Choose Comfort, Choose YHM.
More information on the Airport's response to COVID-19 is available on its website.

'In Retrospect' Opening
Snap! Space in collaboration with Steven Benson and the Southeast Museum of Photography presented Roger Ballen, 40 years retrospective. Roger Ballen joined us on opening night, spoke about his iconic works on exhibition, and signed books. On view through Dec. 17, 2016.
About the retrospective
This retrospective exhibition spanned over 40 years of image making and leads us through many incarnations of thought and process by one of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century. The photography, installations and videos of Roger Ballen have been shown in important institutions throughout the world and he is represented in many Museum Collections such as Bibliotheque Nationale, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; Tate Modern, London, UK, Museum Folkswang, Essen, Germany and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA.
About Roger Ballen
Born in New York City in 1950, Roger is the son of Adrienne Ballen, who worked with the Magnum photography agency in the 1960's and later set up Photography House, which was considered one of the first photography galleries in the world. During these formative years, he was surrounded by photography greats such as Edward Steichen, Edward Weston and Andre Kertesz, before going on to study Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley.
Ballen then spent five years traveling around the globe, from Africa to Greece, Nepal and Indonesia and completed his first photography book Boyhood, an exploration of the meaning of boyhood across multiple cultures. He also developed an interest in geology and the landscape, and returned to the U.S. to obtain a PhD in Mineral Economics and in 1982, travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa and established a lucrative career as a geologist and mining entrepreneur.
In the 1980's, while concurrently working as a geologist, Ballen began using photography to create a personal document of his surroundings in the rural countryside villages of South Africa known as 'dorps'. During this time he developed a unique vision toward little-known corners and artifacts, trading stores, old houses and local populations, revealing the layered essence of these places.
Artist Roger Ballen is known for exploring the dark recesses of South Africa, and the darker recesses of his own mind, in his work. Before 1997, he photographed documentary-style images of the inequality he saw when he moved to Johannesburg, but he later began to incorporate himself into the images through heavy art direction and thoughtful symbolism, starting with his 2001 photo book Outland. In 2012, he directed South African Zef rap duo Die Antwoord's "I Fink U Freeky," video bringing his feral fascinations into the mainstream.

El Aeropuerto Olaya Herrera  es un aeropuerto colombiano ubicado en la comuna de Guayabal de Medellín. Atiende vuelos regionales, nacionales e internacionales de aviación general y comercial. En 1995 fue declarado monumento nacional. En 2020, los dos aeropuertos movilizaron 3 536 597 de pasajeros, el segundo mayor tráfico de pasajeros por ciudad de Colombia. Además de su importancia comercial y arquitectónica, el lugar es conocido porque en 1935 Carlos Gardel y Alfredo Le Pera murieron en un accidente aéreo en la pista de despegue.

Nombre
Lleva los dos apellidos, mas no el nombre, del expresidente colombiano Enrique Olaya Herrera. Su nombre se establece por el Acuerdo del Concejo de Medellín número 120 del 3 de agosto de 1932. En sus orígenes se conocía como Campo de Aviación Las Playas y como Aeropuerto Internacional de Medellín antes de la construcción del José María Córdova en Rionegro.

Historia

Entre 1930 y 1932, tres pudientes familias del área de Medellín (Mejía, Echavarria y Olano) comenzaron con la idea de dotar la ciudad con un aeropuerto, ya que éstas hacían parte de la Compañía Colombiana de Navegación Aérea que pretendía transportar pasajeros y correo desde la ciudad de Medellín hasta Puerto Berrío, luego a lo largo del Río Magdalena y por último conectar las ciudades de Medellín y Bogotá. Uno de los personajes más importantes fue Gonzalo Mejía, quien de forma muy coloquial decidió cuál sería el único lugar en donde se podría construir un aeropuerto. Este lugar sería confirmado por la firma constructora de aviones Curtiss Wright basada en Nueva York.

La primera aerolínea que se formó en Colombia fue la Compañía Colombiana de Navegación Aérea, en septiembre de 1919. Un mes después se creó la KLM y dos más tarde se fundó en Barranquilla la SCADTA, antecesora de Avianca. Para ese entonces se había realizado en Antioquia el primer vuelo el 26 de enero de 1913, en el Aguacatal, en la finca La Pradera de propiedad de Roberto Medina. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial la aviación prosperó, pero solo en la década de los años veinte la aviación comercial comenzó a fortalecerse en el mundo. El 22 de julio de 1922, el Goliath, piloteado por el aviador italiano Feruchio Guicciardi, efectuó el primer vuelo en avión de ruedas, de Cartagena a Medellín, para aterrizar en Guayabal, terreno donde luego se construiría el aeropuerto.

La iniciativa de esta obra se debe fundamentalmente a la Sociedad de Mejoras Públicas y a sus socios, Ricardo Olano y Joaquín Jaramillo Sierra, y su ampliación y posterior desarrollo a Gonzalo Mejía. Para construir el aeropuerto era necesario contemplar la dirección y velocidad de los vientos, y el terreno debía cumplir con una serie de requisitos que garantizaran la seguridad. Arturo Lema, jefe de aviación, le responde así al coronel Francisco Duque, miembro de la comisión creada para la construcción del aeropuerto: "Considero se debe tener una extensión no menor de 800 metros de largo por 200 ó 300 metros de ancho, teniendo en cuenta que el sentido más largo esté orientado siguiendo la dirección general de los vientos reinantes en esa localidad. El campo que se elija debe ser absolutamente libre de obstáculos elevados a su alrededor... Que en lo posible los campos puedan ser utilizados para posarse en ellos, en caso de un aterrizaje forzoso... Debe quedar, pues, convenientemente alejado de la ciudad o centro poblado... Evitar elegir terrenos situados en valles profundos rodeados de montañas o en mesetas elevadas...".

Finalmente, tras un tiempo de investigación, se consiguieron los terrenos "en la región de Guayabal, a una distancia de 7 kilómetros de la ciudad, con frente a la carretera que conduce hacia Caldas, es terreno bastante plano..." , y Ricardo Olano solicita al Concejo de Medellín que designe una partida de por lo menos mil quinientos pesos, "para gastos en el proyectado campo de aviación". Poco a poco se adquirieron los terrenos y se construyó un pequeño terminal aéreo, con una pista sin pavimentar de unos 974 m de largo. Al poco tiempo comenzaron a llegar vuelos de las empresas SCADTA y SACO procedentes de las ciudades de Barranquilla y Bogotá. Finalmente la ciudad de Medellín entendió la importancia del transporte aéreo que funcionó hasta los años 1950.

En 1935 el aueropuerto se hizo tristemente célebre porque allí murió en un accidente aéreo Carlos Gardel. En 1955, la administración municipal vio la necesidad de hacer un nuevo edificio y entabló negociaciones con la empresa NACO, firma subsidiaria de la KLM, experta en la construcción de esta clase de edificios, asunto que generó una serie de protestas entre los arquitectos nacionales. Se sugirió entonces la posibilidad de trabajar conjuntamente y el particular proyecto que se construyó, influenciado por la arquitectura brasilera de la época, estuvo a cargo de los arquitectos Elías Zapata Sierra, Apolinar Restrepo y Alfonso Vieira. Al mismo tiempo la pista se reconstruyó hasta sus actuales 2.508 metros de longitud por 45 metros de ancha y se dotó de una pista auxiliar paralela de carreteo, intercomunicada con la principal por nueve taxeos; siete de ellos de alta velocidad.

En los años 1970, debido a la saturación y limitaciones del Olaya Herrera, se vio la necesidad de un nuevo aeropuerto para la ciudad que tuviese mayor tamaño y que no estuviera dentro de la ciudad. Se definieron dos sitios para su construcción: uno en inmediaciones del municipio de Barbosa y otro en el valle de San Nicolás cerca de Rionegro en el oriente antioqueño. Finalmente se tomó el sitio en Rionegro y su construcción la ejecutó la firma CES-DARCO-TAMS.

El Aeropuerto José María Córdova fue inaugurado en 1985 y como consecuencia, las operaciones desde el Olaya Herrera se redujeron considerablemente. Hoy en día ambos aeropuertos tienen mucho tráfico, concentrando el aeropuerto José María Cordova el mayor número de destinos y pasajeros.

En 2012, el Aeropuerto Olaya Herrera cumplió 80 años.

Actualidad

El aeropuerto tiene clasificación de aeropuerto internacional y opera vuelos comerciales nacionales y regionales, al igual que vuelos corporativos internacionales. La pista mide 2508 m de longitud y está a una altura de 1506 . Existen actualmente restricciones sobre el tipo de aeronaves que pueden operar desde el aeropuerto: sólo pueden operar aviones comerciales de 20.430 kg o menos.

El terminal de pasajeros posee dos salas de espera que cuentan con accesos a la plataforma principal, la cual tiene capacidad para 18 aviones. También cuenta con una amplia zona comercial con oficinas y tiendas, una plaza de comidas, 11 counters dobles para check-in de aerolíneas, una sala para fumadores, y conexión con la vecina Plaza Gardel. Posee pantallas LCD para dar información de vuelos, y de tiempos de salida y de llegada de aviones.

El aeropuerto contó hasta 2010 con la mayor cantidad de hangares para la aviación privada de aeropuerto alguno en Colombia, incluyendo uno construido cerca de la cabecera norte del aeropuerto por la desaparecida aerolínea Aires, la cual pasó a dominio de la empresa chilena LAN en 2011. Sin embargo, estos se están cerrando o vendiendo por los altos costos de administración que impone el concesionario particular que administra el Olaya Herrera.

La Aerolínea de Antioquia (ADA) tiene su sede en el Olaya Herrera y posee seis hangares donde guarda y presta mantenimiento a sus aviones. También las escuelas de aviación Academia Antioqueña de Aviación, Escuela de Aviación Los Halcones y Escuela de Aviación Flying operan desde la zona de hangares igualmente.

Junto con otros cinco aeropuertos en Colombia, el Olaya Herrera fue entregado en concesión a un operador privado para ser administrado a cambio de las ganancias que generan los seis aeropuertos. Dentro de las obras previstas están el re-acondicionamiento de la terminal, la construcción de un terminal de carga, la reparación de la pista y plataforma, implementación de nuevos sistemas de seguridad, ampliación y remodelación de las salas de espera y bandas de entrega de equipaje, construcción de una nueva torre de control, construcción de un terminal para aviación ejecutiva que funcionaría para vuelos nacionales e internacionales de este tipo (con esta nueva terminal volverían a partir vuelos internacionales desde el aeropuerto), nuevas zonas comerciales, entre otras. Sin embargo, desde que comenzó a operar bajo concesión, el aeropuerto ha perdido el 22% de sus pasajeros y la mayoría de sus locales comerciales permanecen vacíos.

Accidentes

 El 1 de noviembre de 2017, una avioneta Piper 34 Séneca II procedente de Quibdó aterrizó sin el tren de aterrizaje frontal luego de declararse en emergencia. El suceso se presentó a la 1:26 de la tarde cuando la aeronave reportó fallas en el tren de aterrizaje. Después de sobrevolar el municipio de Barbosa para agotar el combustible, el piloto de la avioneta, Jorge Enrique Muñoz, logró aterrizar exitosamente sin el tren de aterrizaje frontal. La terminal aérea del aeropuerto suspendió operaciones para atender la emergencia. Los involucrados resultaron ilesos.
 El 12 de febrero de 2014, una avioneta de matrícula HJ-110 sufrió un accidente en el aeropuerto durante el despegue. Dos personas resultaron heridas y las operaciones aéreas se interrumpieron por una hora. La aeronave pertenecía al Club de Ultralivianos de Antioquia y se dirigía al municipio de Tolú, en el departamento de Sucre.

 A las 14:13, hora local, del 3 de octubre de 2013, el vuelo Halcones 1626 de entrenamiento se salió de la pista, para luego volcarse. La aeronave era tipo Cessna 172. El piloto resultó ileso.
 El 2 de julio de 2013, dos individuos intentaron robar metales preciosos a bordo del vuelo ADA 7941 que cubría la ruta Condoto-Medellín. Después de obligar a la aeronave a desviarse por otra pista de rodaje, la policía aeropuertaria interceptó la aeronave y se produjo una balacera. Los delincuentes fueron detenidos.
 A las 9:38 a.m., hora local, del 19 de junio de 2009, se precipitó a tierra una avioneta Piper PA-34 privada proveniente de Cali con seis personas a bordo, cayendo en una zona verde antes de llegar al aeropuerto. Sus ocupantes salieron ilesos.
 En la tarde del 14 de diciembre de 1983, se estrelló un Boeing 707 de Tampa Cargo. La causa del accidente fue la falla de los motores 3 y 4 durante el despegue. Murieron los tres tripulantes a bordo más 22 en tierra.
 El 24 de junio de 1935, Carlos Gardel junto con Alfredo Le Pera y algunos de sus músicos fallecieron en el choque de dos aeroplanos a punto de despegar sobre la pista del aeropuerto. En el accidente aéreo de Medellín, hubo tres sobrevivientes: el Indio Aguilar (guitarrista), el profesor Plaja y Grant Flynt, funcionario de SACO.

The world now knows the hamlet where Romeo and Juliet were born.
Just ahead of William Shakespeare's 455th birthday, the home that gave birth to the Bard's most notable work has finally been identified.
Though "Romeo and Juliet" was first published some 422 years ago, it only took theater historian Geoffrey Marsh about 10 years to locate where Shakespeare first penned the tragic romance.
Thanks to taxpayer records, Shakespeare had previously been linked to the Liverpool Street Station area in Central London, then referred to as the parish of St. Helens — between 1597 and 1598 — though no specific location had been named.
Strange spelling made the research relatively difficult, though Marsh ended up successful, given that records from as far back as the 1550s were "remarkably" preserved.
Thanks to the newly discovered evidence, it's thought that Shakespeare's home was located at, what is today, known as 35 Great St Helen's, which the BBC notes is "a site next to St Helen's Church occupied by an office block." This location currently sits near a London landmark, the Gherkin.


Apply HTM 03 recommendations with respect to cleaning frequencies and procedures.
Inspect plant and ductwork interiors regularly to establish cleaning frequencies required for various systems.
Operating theatre extract systems in particular can get heavily contaminated with garment fluff and should be cleaned regularly.
Any contaminants found in supply air systems should be removed immediately, especially stagnant water.
The intake ducts should be ducted out of the plant-room and located away from soil stacks, cooling towers or any other form of contamination.
Under HTM 03, six-monthly and annual inspections of ventilation air handling plant and associated ducted systems should be carried out with the findings documented and responsive actions taken where required.
A HVAC inspection will commence at the fresh air intake/exhaust discharge point and throughout the air conveyance system to either point of supply air delivery or point of extraction.
Enviro Hygiene have conducted inspections of HVAC plant and ductwork in numerous hospitals throughout Ireland.
A tailored and industry unique risk assessment document has been developed specifically for this inspection service.
Inspect UCV fans and ducting internally for contamination.
Check filter seals and housing integrity.
Clean ducts and fans as required.

It's not long till it's socially acceptable to play Fairy Tale of New York as loud as you can and watch Hanz Gruber fall from Nakatomi Plaza (Die Hard). So I think I'm safe to start talking about great dating ideas for the festive season because let's be honest, it's a perfectly wonderful time of the year for dating! The lights, the decorations, the cold weather and cosying up to someone with a mulled wine makes for the perfect dating recipe. So what better place to start than Brixton Rooftop who are back with their wonderful South Pole Saloon.
Brixton Rooftop has once again been miraculously transformed into some incredible south pole haven of alcohol, street food and debauchery. This fully heated wooden winter paradise is back with more of the same as last year including live acts from something out of the traveling south pole circus. Its full of everything you could possibly ask for on a date as well making it the ideal date destination this festive period.
Treat your date to some of the warm street food on offer to warm them from the inside out and even get them merry on some mulled wine. I've never been fully mulled wine drunk, but that's a personal goal this Christmas. Of course Brixton rooftop has its own rooftop so if the weather is not on your side, it's not gonna rain on your parade and you still have that outdoors feel without having to brave London's winter weather. It is a busy destination in general and even although they provide lots of seating do be prepared to squeeze yourself on the ends of tables to get a seat, it's a popular place!
It doesn't skimp on entertainment either with cool circus acts including elves on stilts and elves hanging from the rafters. These crazy cool elves are mesmerising and just provide that icing on the cake or that star on top of the tree. This comes at the top of the list for date ideas this Christmas.

Audience Q&As can quickly devolve. Someone wants to share a story instead of a question; someone else wants to demonstrate their own expertise and "teach from the seats". No one seems to know how to ask a succinct and relevant question and you can feel the frustration from the group. As the leader – whether it be in front of a large audience or just at your staff meetings – you must consider the impact of these contributions on the room, and your goals.
This episode is about being clear on your objective and helping everyone make the best contributions possible. It's also a little bit about Jodi's terrible poker face.
There are people who are always going to answer, regardless of the question, with the answer they want to give. It can feel like they are not taking responsibility for the care and feeding of the group, nor considering the impact to the group.
As the leader, it is important to frame the rules of contribution before asking people for their contributions.
For example, instructing them that the first sentence should end in a question mark. Give the Processors in the group time to think about what they want to say, and how to frame it within the guidelines you have given them. Set the expectations early.
However, it is also important to recognize that there are things that can get stuck in people's craw, things they need to be acknowledged before they can move on. You don't have to let this get you off track, but you do have to deal with the pothole in the parking lot, or it will keep coming up all day long.
Leadership is key here, and will affect the happiness of your team, and retention. You need to be clear on your top priority in the moment. Is it to keep train on the track, or is it to surface new thoughts and ideas? Are you trying to assuage concerns or present information? Each priority needs a different style of leadership. And you need to periodically asses if your leadership is angling you towards the outcome you want.


In this thesis, we estimate domestic content of Turkish manufacturing exports by assuming separate input-output coe cients for processing and ordinary exports, and using rm-level business and trade data from the Turkish Statistics Institute. To do so, we adopt the methodology proposed by Koopman et al. 2012) and assess Turkey's export performance under the lights of new valueadded estimates over the 2005-2011 period. On the methodological front, this thesis contributes to the literature by estimating the domestic content of exports using rm-level data and distinguishing between ordinary and processing trade. On the empirical side, it presents the rst thorough analysis of the domestic content of Turkish manufacturing exports and how it varies according to various country, industry and rm characteristics. We nd that value-added share in manufacturing exports resemble a hump-shaped trend except for Textile and Leather industry, reaching its peak during the Great Trade Collapse. We also nd that the domestic content of export increase with GDP and per capita income of partners.


This module provides you with a foundation of knowledge on demographic change and population ageing in a cross-cultural, global perspective. The module focuses on developing and transitional societies, and on linkages between different regions of the world. You will gain an understanding of the implications of contemporary demographic change for the welfare of individuals, families and societies; and an awareness of how, with globalisation, demographic, social and economic change in one part of the world impacts upon trends in another. The module takes an intergenerational and lifecourse approach by stressing the close interaction between generations, and between older and younger selves, in the production of risk and welfare in later life. You will be introduced to examples from around the world, including Southeast, East and South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America.
The module's aims are: •	to provide a foundation of knowledge about the nature of demographic change and population ageing in developing and transitional societies and an understanding of major differences in population size, trends, age-structure, health and longevity around the world; •	to facilitate the development of an understanding of the reasons for demographic change and the implications of contemporary age-structural change for the welfare of individuals, families and societies; •	to help students evaluate the strengths and limitations of, and constraints on, different strategies of old-age support provision; •	to assist students towards making the connections between generations, lifecourse stages, regions or countries, families and the wider political economy in the construction of security or vulnerability in old age.
The module will include lectures on demographic concepts, measures and data sources; the global shift in population size and age structures; widening gaps in longevity and health; theories around old-age welfare and security; the impact of HIV/AIDS on older people; the changing nature of family and kin support; social protection, ageing and development; the role of civil society in providing old-age security; the impact of migration on older people's lives; and careworker migration.
One or two outside experts are invited to give guest sessions on particular topics. The structured student debate aims to enhance peer-to-peer interaction among distance learning students.
The module is taught by a combination of online lectures and learning activities. Learning activities include critical reflection, tasks and problem-solving related to the lectures, which students are encouraged to email to the module convenor and/or put on the Discussion boards created for the module, independent study, and the creation of graphs and tables to represent demographic and health data, writing an essay and demographic country report. Students are expected to take part in a structured online student debate which involves posting brief position statements and commenting on others' statements. Students are encouraged to carry out some reading in advance of and during each session. There is an optional tutorial for Assignment 1 (Demographic Country Report) on creating and interpreting graphs and tables.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to deliver Notre Dame's 2020 commencement addre
Author Topic: Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to deliver Notre Dame's 2020 commencement addre (Read 255 times)
Eternal Father, through Mary's Immaculate Heart, We Offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ in Atonement for our sins and those of the Whole World.
Slave of the Risen Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice.
Religion: St. Thomas' Indult Traditional Roman Catholic.
From: https://news.nd.edu/news/ecumenical-patriarch-bartholomew-to-deliver-notre-dames-2020-commencement-address/
Patriarch Bartholomew, Orthodox Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, will deliver the principal address and receive an honorary degree at the University of Notre Dame's 175th commencement ceremony May 17.
"Patriarch Bartholomew has been a champion for understanding and encounter among the world's religions, as well as for environmental initiatives, religious freedom and human rights," said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame's president. "We are honored that on his visit to the United States in May, the Patriarch will take time to offer his reflections to our graduates and their families."
The ecumenical patriarch is the spiritual leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide, with a church history that dates to the Day of Pentecost and the early Christian communities.
Patriarch Bartholomew was elected the 270th archbishop of Constantinople and ecumenical patriarch in October 1991. His tenure has been highlighted by ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue — including formal visits with Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Orthodox, other Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders — as well as efforts to promote religious freedom, human rights and protection of the environment. Known as the "Green Patriarch," he has said: "For human beings to destroy God's creation, degrade the integrity of the earth and contaminate the planet's waters, land and air — all of these are sins."
The recipient of 35 honorary degrees, Patriarch Bartholomew was honored in 1997 with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award bestowed by the U.S. Congress.
Born Demetrios Arhondonis in 1940 on the island of Imvros (today, Gökçeada, Turkey), Patriarch Bartholomew completed his undergraduate studies at the Theological School of Halki and graduate studies at the Pontifical Oriental Institute of the Gregorian University in Rome, the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland and the University of Munich.
Ordained to the diaconate in 1961 and to the priesthood in 1969, Patriarch Bartholomew served as an assistant dean at the Theological School of Halki for four years, then was appointed personal secretary to the late Ecumenical Patriarch Demetrios. He also served as metropolitan (the leader of a diocese or archdiocese) of Philadelphia and then metropolitan of Chalcedon.
Other 2020 honorary degree recipients will be announced later this semester.

Wedbush Doubles Down on Zynga
Rich Smith, The Motley Fool
Motley Fool August 27, 2019
Every day, Wall Street analysts upgrade some stocks, downgrade others, and "initiate coverage" on a few more. But do these analysts even know what they're talking about? Today, we're taking one high-profile Wall Street pick and putting it under the microscope...
Well, would you look at that! Everything old is new again -- even Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA)!
Once upon a time, mobile game maker Zynga was popular among investors who wanted to own Facebook but couldn't because Facebook wasn't public yet. As a company that made games played on Facebook, however, Zynga was viewed as a way to vicariously profit from the growth of the social network.
Of course, Facebook did eventually IPO, and when that happened, Zynga's popularity as a stock investment quickly faded. It's back today, however -- up 42% over the past 12 months -- and according to one analyst, Zynga is ready to run even higher.
Here's what you need to know.
Woman playing on cell phone and money flying out of it
Zynga's faithful friend
For nearly eight years, investment banker Wedbush has been a staunch defender of Zynga stock. According to data from StreetInsider.com, Wedbush first initiated coverage with an outperform rating way back in December 2011 (predicting the stock would soon go to $12.50 a share -- it costs $5.75 per share today, by the way). At the time, the analyst cited the company's "very popular and durable games of the highest quality" and its "dominant market share among social game publishers" as its reasons for optimism.
Over the years, Wedbush's short-term views of Zynga and its price targets have waxed and waned with the company's fortunes -- but the analyst never quite gave up on Zynga. Never downgraded the stock even once.
Of course, the downside to that steady optimism is that it makes it a bit harder than usual for Wedbush to express increased optimism about Zynga, it being rated outperform already and all. But this morning, Wedbush did the next best thing.
Doubling down on Zynga
Reiterating its outperform rating on Zynga today, Wedbush upped its conviction by adding it to the analyst's "Best Ideas List."
Zynga is currently GAAP-unprofitable, having lost money in three of the last four quarters. It's growing sales briskly, however -- sales were up 41% year over year in the most recent quarter -- and most analysts agree that the company is likely to end the year with at least a small GAAP profit of $0.02 per share, which would be flat against last year's earnings, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
That analyst earnings estimate gives Zynga a current-year P/E ratio of 287.5 (it has no trailing earnings to hang a P/E on). At first glance, that seems kind of pricey given that most folks on Wall Street believe the company will only grow earnings at about 15% annually over the next five years.
But Wedbush isn't entirely convinced that the rest of Wall Street is right about that growth rate.
"We think that key titles Empires & Puzzles and Merge Dragons!, along with three new releases later this year (and additional new games thereafter), have the potential to drive significant upside to the Street's expectations through 2021," argues Wedbush. And if that's true, Zynga could exceed the $0.02 per share that it's expected to earn this year, bringing its current-year P/E down from 287.5 to something a bit more palatable.
The upshot for investors
Is Wedbush right about Zynga, and the rest of Wall Street wrong?
Only time will tell for sure. However, given that sales are rising so strongly -- again, they were up 41% last quarter alone -- my hunch is that earnings should probably grow a lot more than 15% a year if sales keep up their brisk clip. Meanwhile, free cash flow at Zynga is already decidedly positive -- $213 million in cash profits generated over the last 12 months, and up more than double in comparison to where the company was at this point last year.
Valued on free cash flow, Zynga's 26 times FCF valuation is a whole lot cheaper than the stock's P/E makes things look. And if Wedbush is right about the growth exceeding expectations, well, should free cash grow at anywhere near the rate sales grew last quarter, I can't see Zynga's share price remaining in the single digits for long.
While hardly a "gimme," Zynga stock does show promise, and I'm inclined to think that Wedbush is right to recommend it.

Hey everyone! Some of my friends have been asking about how I'm doing, so I thought I would share a bit of an update. The final phase of my treatment began last Tuesday.....Radiation Therapy. The week prior, I had a Radiation Simulation, where "mapping and marking" were done to come up with a "Radiation Plan" that was fitted to my body. No kidding, my upper right chest, from just below my neck to my waist, looks like "varicose veins".....red, black and purple markings covered with water-risistent tape. I have to be careful when I shower, no scrubbing.
All of that bright light on my face is from the glorious Arizona sun shining in through the wall of windows in the Radiation waiting area.
This boxy little number on my boxy little body is the latest in radiation attire. Velcro tabs all the way down the front, make it easy for my radiation therapists, Kaleb & Justin, to expose my "lady bits." Early on, this might have been embarrassing, but so many "professionals" have viewed my lady bits at this point, I truly don't care.
This is the radiation room and machine that I have each time. The therapists remain the same as well. The always have a little step-stool for me to get on the table....I'm short!
The machine is pretty awesome. The table and machine both move and rotate to get me all lined up with the mapping on my body. Total time that radiation is actually coursing through my body is less than a minute total, and that's from 3 different locations.
I've become quite good at napping just about anywhere, but I'm not gonna fall asleep on this! Part of my simulation involved this large gray bag-type thing, that once I was in position, was filled with air that formed a mold of my body. It's rigid and is covered by the sheet above. The form is a major part of getting me in the exact right position each time. It has a label with all of my pertinent ID, & hangs with many others across the back wall of this room.
Four treatments down and 16 to go! Then I will follow many, many others who have taken this journey. The ringing of this bell is a tradition, and I am really looking forward to my day.
I truly wish all of you who have been such great cheerleaders for me from my first chemo, through my surgery, and now on to this final phase, could be with me when it's my turn to ring the bell. I would love to hug you all!
I expect March 21st to be a very emotional day.
I hope this is a wonderful week for everyone!
Hey everyone! Welcome to week 8 of the new year....it sometimes feels that time is moving at lightening speed, doesn't it? So many things to do and not quite enough time to do them seems to be the main reason we turn to multitasking. Some say that a person cannot multitask and actually be successful at any of the things they are doing. Hmmm....sounds like something a man might say! If you've ever carried a crying baby on your hip while putting dinner together, you are a multitasker! If you've ever cooked a large meal (like for Thanksgiving), you are a multitasker! If you knit, crochet or blog while watching tv with your hubby, you are a multitasker! Whether you work outside the home or run an in-home business, you are a multitasker!
I'm a multitasker! I've carried on lengthy phone conversations while putting together "Welcome Bags" for a business I owned. I've cleaned up my whole kitchen and solved all the world problems while talking with a friend. If you've ever answered email or written a blog post while eating your breakfast or lunch, then you are a multitasker! I don't think it's a bad thing, do you?
There are many things that do require our undivided attention.....listening to a child, because they know every time if you're mind is on something else and they will call you on it! Talking with teens requires your full-attention, because you just may not get that many opportunities. Listening to and lending a shoulder to someone who needs you is an all-in situation. Driving...NO PHONE & NO TEXTING......enough said on that subject! And please, please don't forget yourself. Sometimes you are the most important person in need of your full attention, because if you haven't tended to your needs -- physically, mentally and emotionally -- how can you be strong and sharp for anyone else? You cannot!
List-making and multitasking seem to go hand-in-hand. The habit of making lists can be a very good thing, unless it puts us into over-drive in multitasking. We are assured of a major breakdown if we don the cape and cuffs of Wonder Woman! As I shared my thoughts on "home keeping" last week, we have to keep things in perspective and not feel the need to do it all or do it all right now.
As women, wives, mothers, daughters, sisters & friends, a lot is expected of us and we expect a lot of ourselves. Go ahead, multitask when the situation calls for it, but learn to recognize the signs that call for single-mindedness and blinders. Don't become a wreck because you forgot to stop in time!
Hey everyone! What a glorious week this has been so far! I'm feeling stronger by the day, needing fewer afternoon naps (although I do hate to give those up...heehee), and thoroughly enjoying home-keeping. During the past few months, when I was too exhausted & weak to do much of anything, my heart ached for the simple pleasures of tending our home. What does home keeping mean to you? To me it's all of the things, big and small that give life to our home. While cleaning the toilet might not rank right up there as a joyous chore, it has to be done so our families stay healthy.....that's the joy. The Man did a wonderful job of taking care of all the basics, and it gave him a renewed respect for all of the things that go into making our home run smoothly. I don't think he ever realized what I did behind the scenes that he just took for granted, but I'm sure I would be in the same situation if I had to take on his responsibilities. That's why we should always be mindful, grateful, and hand out sincere "Thank you's" for even the smallest of tasks....there is much joy and love in being grateful.
Have I always found joy in home-keeping? Absolutely not, but I have always taken pride in having a clean & inviting home where good food was cooked and served daily; but terms such as "housework" & "chores," didn't really evoke much pleasure of any kind. It wasn't until I heard the term "Home Keeping," that I found new respect and joy in the things I did to care for our family and our home. It's amazing how a few simple words can so greatly affect us.
Our home is not big by today's standards, but certainly more than adequate for us. It's not grandiose or filled with high-end fixtures and expensive trappings. It is filled with love and memories, things that remind us of special occasions or vacations, and mementos of special people who are no longer with us. It doesn't really matter what your decor is or whether you spend a lot or a little to dress your home, it's the love of tending our homes that brings joy.
Puttering or tweaking, whichever term you use, is a major part of home keeping....in my humble opinion anyway! Puttering (my word of choice) is sheer pleasure to me. Sometimes puttering involves a lot work, like rearranging & styling bookshelves, or it can be the simple act of pulling things from my "stash" to create a new floral arrangement. It still evokes a wonderful feeling of bringing joy and love into my home. Puttering is high on my priority list for home keeping!
How do you feel about home keeping? Is it a list of "chores" that have to be done, obligations that cause you stress or even anger because you are the one doing them? I've been there and understand the overwhelming feeling of not being able to get it all done, and wondering if there was ever going to be time for "me." It's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to give yourself a break....spend a little time puttering or tweaking! Maybe then you will find joy in home keeping.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and I always appreciate your sweet comments. If you have a "NoReply" email, it will probably take me longer to respond. I hope the remainder of your week is wonderful.
Hey everyone! This is a perfectly beautiful Arizona morning....cerulean blue sky, 43 degree temp right now and soaring into the upper 70's later on in the day! "It's a good day to be a good day." I saw this phrase on a Fixer Upper episode, and it has been a sort of mantra to me to use every day. I don't know who authored this phrase, so if you do, please let me know.
Are you a Pinterest fan? I've been enjoying this addictive site for several years now, amassing 97 Boards, 6.4K Pins, and 847 Likes.....maybe I should try applying the Marie Kondo method of tidying up, but I probably won't! If you are like me, you can get completely absorbed adding new pins or doing a search for this or that. I almost always go to Pinterest before going to Google, but I realized I haven't shared very many "Pin Wins" or "Pin Fails," and I decided to remedy that today.
As I've gotten stronger, I've been doing more of the cooking and that makes The Man very happy. I have pinned so many recipes, and have been putting them into my weekly menu plan. I'd like to share a few.
The Man and I prepped this for the slow cooker a couple of days ago. We had some errands to run that day, so it was nice to have dinner all ready to dish up when we got home. Oh, and the aroma.....better than any scented candle! It was delish served with some buttermilk biscuits. The only thing I would do differently next time, is to braise the beef before adding it to the slow cooker....braising meat really enhances the flavor.
We often have breakfast for dinner around here, so when I ran across this recipe on the Taste of Home site, I knew we had to try it! It was so good I think we could easily serve it up once a week, but probably not the healthiest thing to do. The only thing I did differently, was to cut the servings from 4 to 2.....I love leftovers, but didn't think this would be great reheated!
I haven't made this in awhile, but it's going to be on the menu plan very soon. It is extremely easy to prepare and makes great leftovers if you are a family of 2! I do substitute Lite Cream Cheese....better for my figure!
Of course, I could not leave out a few desserts, right? Regular Crazy Cake is wonderful, but a whole cake for 2 people is even crazier! This recipe is so easy to whip up and tastes like the most amazing Devil's Food Cake you have ever put in your mouth. I've made this twice over the last couple of weeks and it may be the perfect "Super Bowl" dessert today!
If you are a fan of Snickerdoodle Cookies, then this recipe is for you. Oh my goodness, this is so delicious and tastes just like a warm Snickerdoodle right from the oven. All the ingredients are most probably in your kitchen already!
Of all the cravings that I had while on chemo and the tastebuds had walked out the door, lemon-anything was one of the biggies. I could not eat citrus of any kind, so now I am making up for it! This was an absolutely delicious cake, and I even used lemon juice and lemon zest from our own lemons! I'm truly crushing over this cup and saucer, but my FiestaWare soup mugs worked just fine!
I actually didn't have any "Pin Fails" this time around. All of the above recipes turned out perfectly. I linked each one to the direct source to give full credit to each of these wonderful ladies who've taken the time to share their recipes and lovely photos. My food photos never turn out very good, but these ladies have mastered the tricks of food photography. I hope you will give some of these recipes a try and give credit where credit is due.
I'd like to make this kind of post a regular thing, and not just for food either. There are so many talented people contributing to Pinterest, and I plan to "try more and pin less"....well, that's "pie-in-the-sky" wishful thinking, my finger is always poised to pin something! I do plan to share more of what I try, and we'll leave it at that!
Have a lovely Sunday, enjoy the Super Bowl if that is your thing, and be grateful for a brand new week to do "stuff!" Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hey everyone! I don't usually make a big deal out of it, but this year I'm celebrating.....it's my birthday! I truly feel so lucky and blessed after all that has happened over the last 7 months, that I'm ready to shout it from the rooftops --"I am 67, alive and STRONG! I am Woman, hear me roar!"
It's a good day to be a good day!

Der Kalurong (auch Kaluxung) ist ein Berg im autonomen Gebiet Tibet.

Der  hohe Kalurong liegt im Kreis Nagarzê. Das Gebirgsmassiv des Kalurong liegt im Lhagoi-Kangri-Gürtel zwischen der Hauptkette des Himalaya im Süden und dem Fluss Yarlung Zangpo (Brahmaputra-Oberlauf) im Norden, der den Himalaya vom Transhimalaya trennt.
Von dem  hohen und 11,14 km weiter nördlich gelegenen Noijinkangsang wird das Gebirgsmassiv des Kalurong durch ein Flusstal, in welchem die Provinzstraße 307 verläuft, getrennt.

Der Kalurong besitzt noch einen 1,74 km südöstlich gelegenen Südgipfel (6536 m, ).

Besteigungsgeschichte
Einer japanischen Expedition bestehend aus sieben Bergsteiger-Veteranen vom Alpinklub der Keiō-Universität mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 66 Jahren gelang im September 2005 die Erstbesteigung des Berges. Eiichiro Kasai (64) und Tadao Shintan (61) erreichten am 28. September 2005 den Gipfel.

A motorsail from Rudder Cut Cay to Georgetown was in order, so at high slack tide, we headed out the cut and into the Exuma Sound. We entered Elizabeth Harbour and decided to anchor off of Monument Point. We find a nice empty anchoring spot and then drop the hook and set it. We look up to see that we have anchored next to SV Anania, a sister ship to Mahi, another Taswell 43.
Georgetown is a very social scene, and the final destination for many sailboats. There is a morning net on the radio you listen to in order to find out what is happening. Volleyball Beach is the hangout for kids starting at 2 pm. It is a bit of a free range kidfest- with trees to climb and then swing out of, Stingrays to swim with in the shallows, and people to meet. We reconnected with buddy boats Serentity and Darwin, plus met many other wonderful kid boats here.
Despite the many good kids on Volleyball Beach, we (and several other friends) noticed that two older kids were being unkind to Ethan. We could never locate the parents, so we decided to head to Monument Beach and swim there instead. This allowed us to meet up with a likeminded boat also enjoying this beach. So refreshing to meet up with two really nice kids- Ouest and Lowe. In talking to Ali, the mom, I put two and two together- we had met up with the Bumfuzzle boat. Back in the mid 2000's, when Joe and I started planning our sail cruising adventure, they had the first cruising blog and later wrote two books about their circumnavigation and travels. So great to meet up with them!
During our time here in Georgetown, we attended a Emergency Medical Seminar, talked to other boats heading to the Dominican Republic, and participated in a Fundraiser for a Bahamian children's home. I decided to dig out some of my beads and beading skills to donate some of my starfish pendants and a freeform beaded art bracelet for the auction.
We also met another sailboat called Serenity- a monohull sailboat who were from Shingle Springs, CA, literally 10 miles from our home in California. They had older kids on board, so became good friends to the Donolly's on Serenity the catamaran. Serenity the monohull later left Georgetown about the same time as us- they were rushing back to Florida and unfortunately hit a reef not too far from Chubb Cay. Thankfully, all were rescued- 4 kids, 2 dogs and the mom and dad. Sadly, they lost their home and belongings. We do not know how they came to hit a reef, that is their story to tell.
After a week, the social intensity of Georgetown was making me feel a bit claustrophobic. I prefer uncrowded anchorages. So we said goodbye to all our friends and sailed to Long Island, Bahamas.


Jason Dennie has played and listened to music for most of his life. He is primarily known as a 'solo acoustic guitarist'. This is the best way to describe his music, as it isn't all fingerstyle guitar, or flatpicking…it isn't all folk (as we know it to be), and uses ideas that reach out into jazz, blues, bluegrass, celtic, rock & roll, and country. Dennie combines all these influences to create a unique and energetic voice on acoustic guitar.
Mr. Dennie is a highly regarded recording and competitive guitarist. His recordings have garnered him three consecutive Cammy Awards for Best folk/bluegrass instrumentalist each year from 1997 to 1999. He has won the Gamble Rogers Fingerstyle championship in St. Augustine, Florida, and also was the second place winner at the 2011 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition.
Jason travels and performs all over the United States and resides in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Do the claims stack up? Australia talks China
When Australia talks about China, the China Opportunity and the China Challenge forms part of the discourse. The China Opportunity reflects the enormous economic benefits that Australia already derives from its $184 billion trade relationship with China, along with the potential for this to grow even further as 850 million more Chinese reach middle class status by 2030, placing Australian beef, wine, education and tourism within their grasp. Strands of China's foreign policy also favour an approach of multilateral engagement in line with the preferences of the Australian government.

Woah Dave
Woah Dave! Review (3DS eShop)
Version Reviewed: North American
Working for pennies
review by Dave Letcavage Fri, 31 Oct 2014 18:00:00 +0000
Woah Dave is all about classic arcade action. Taking control of a blocky little guy named Dave Lonuts (who happens to bear a striking resemblance to Bert from Sesame Street), players will do their best to exterminate aliens and collect the change left behind in their wake. There are two modes to choose from, and once you've made a selection, it's all about playing and replaying the same stage until you put up a high score. If you're not into that, well, it might be time to stop reading. If you are into it, however, this is a blast from the past that doesn't necessarily go the extra mile when it comes to modes and value, but it does offer a charming and addictive good time for those of us that fondly recall the era of Atari and arcade cabinet dominance.
Remember the multi-tier stage design in the original Mario Bros. arcade game? You know – the one with the POW block smack dab in the middle? That's pretty much what you can expect from Woah Dave. Eggs will fall into the environment and these can be thrown at enemies to earn coins. Thing is, enemies hatch from those eggs as well, so you need to be careful not to keep one in your grips for too long. Once hatched, if an enemy reaches the lava pits located on either side of the ground floor, they return to the playing field in an evolved, and more dangerous, form. There are also exploding skulls and Woah blocks (which clear the screen much like the POW block flipped enemies in Mario Bros.) to help exterminate the opposition. So, in summary, the agenda is simple: kill enemies, collect pennies, and stay alive as long as possible.
Controls are as approachable as needed for a pick-up-and-play style of game such as this. Walk into eggs or objects and they will automatically be scooped up, and throwing them takes only a single button press. The automatic grabbing mechanic can take some getting used to as you'll often find yourself accidentally picking up objects you don't mean to (especially when multiple eggs or skulls are in close proximity), but you should come to terms with it quickly. Moving around and jumping feels the best with the D-pad, and most players will find it to offer the level of precision Woah Dave calls for, because if you graze the edge of an enemy or end up too close to an explosive, that's one of three lives down the drain.
While there aren't multiple stages to advance to – it's just an endless "how long can you survive" kind of thing – environmental shakeups do occur as you progress. Platforms will get smaller and more perilous, the lava will rise forcing you into one chaotic space, and enemies arrive in larger numbers. This escalation serves to make you feel as though you are moving forward, and it makes the events all the more interesting… and intense. But perhaps a major concern with Woah Dave is that it's a slightly meagre package. Other than standard play, there's Bonkers mode, which can be unlocked once you've reach a score of a buck and a half. The only real difference is that Bonkers starts at a point where the chaos is already in full effect. It's a better option for the more skilled players, but it's not much in terms of variety. Achievements do help add a little extra worth to the package, though.
Whichever way you slice it, Woah Dave can be loads of fun to play, even if it doesn't go above and beyond in its efforts. The core gameplay is highly addictive and very approachable, and the attractive color palette, infectious music, and complimentary 3D effect help bring the basic retro presentation to life. But with only two modes (which are essentially the same outside of difficulty/intensity) and no online leaderboards, there's just not much to chew on. The ideal way to play Woah Dave is to pass the 3DS around to friends and family to battle for high-score supremacy — that's when you'll realize how entertaining of a game it can be.
It doesn't take long to get an encompassing look at what Woah Dave has to offer, and while it does what it does in a commendable fashion, it's not redefining the genre or reinventing the wheel — and that's absolutely okay. It's very clear that the developer wanted to make an arcade-style game that harkens back to the classics you played on Atari, NES, or at your local pizza joint all those years ago. Even the home screen icon is of an arcade cabinet, and it's a mighty comforting sight upon unwrapping the game. If you're into high-score chasing time-killers, then Woah Dave deserves your consideration. It's fun, it's polished, and it's called Woah Dave. That's a name we (this reviewer in particular) can get behind.

Been following this since it's from the guys who made best wiiware series BIT.TRIP. I might wait and see what else they have though.
daveisbored
I was interested as soon as I saw the name, but it does sound like something I'd like. I think I'll pick it up when it arrives over here.
SetupDisk
I got it for cheap on a PSN flash sale but never played it. I might get it if it goes on sale eventually.
Undead_terror
In Canada we got to pay more I will look into the game more I guess.
Bass_X0
Should have called it Dave Race.
@Undead_terror
What? Nevermind then, screw these guys.
Sforzando
It's $5?? I'll wait for a sale. For $2 or would be a definite purchase but any more than that is insane for what it is.
ashlyquin
I think $5 is a pretty fair price. The company DOES make quality games!!
Chouzetsu
It looks exactly like Super Crate Box to me.
Prof_Clayton
This is one of those times that the pixel art makes me dislike the game immediately.

Woah Dave, nice review!

I bought it day one and the game is EXTREMELY hard to put down... Get it and try counting how many times you say "Ok just one more time"

I'll probably get it, I do love me some Mario Bros.

Even the reviewer's name is Dave...
Wilford111
Aw man, just what I thought
I really don't think a package like this should cost $5... maybe not even $2. Back in the days of arcade gaming, you would pay a quarter or something to play a game like this once, but even that kind of gaming is outdated... and that's what this game is. I might get it if it was only $1, but I'm not even sure about that.
I mean, I'm a huge fan of the developers and their bit.trip games, but this is just a huge disappointment for me.
@Wilford111 The makers of the Bit.Trip games only published this game, they didn't develop it, MiniVisions did. So you don't have to be as disappointed as if they had made it themselves
Wavey84
If this game had came out in the late 70's in the arcades you groovy dooders would be all over it like Krang & the Technondrome!
argh4430
Looks chaotic and fun from the video. I'll add it to my wishlist and get it when i'm not already swamped in games I want to play.
Also, Woah.
holchasaur
@WiiLovePeace You win.
dronesplitter
I might get this as it looks really fun but I can wait for a sale on it. $5 might be chump change but it adds up over time and might mean I can't splurge on something else soon.

@Wilford111 did you actually play arcade games back in the day, or are you just 'remembering' a time you didn't actually live? I ask, because I did live those days, and I dumped well over $5 into games like Woah Dave more times than I can count and, in fact, I still do so with games you would deride as "simplistic"--things like the Bit.Trip series, for example.
