Most of my patients know that I very strongly advise the use of vitamin supplementation. Our polluted environment has robbed our nutritional supply (food) of truly effective and sorely needed vitamins. Sometimes we may as well be eating cardboard!
One of the most common and very essential vitamins I check by blood testing is B-12. It is usually low as it is easily processed "OUT" of our natural food sources. Technically, Vitamin B12, vitamin B12 or vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, is a water soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. It is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin, and quite obviously from the above description, very important. But what is the MIC part of this almost painless injection?
Methionine, Inositol, and Choline are "lipotropic" substances that play important roles in fat metabolism, liver function, and fat excretion.
Methionine is an amino acid that reduces fat, aids in lowering cholesterol, and helps synthesize other amino acids needed by the body. It is also one of the nutrients required for the body to produce choline. A deficiency of methionine will adversely affect fat metabolism by limiting choline production. The body cannot produce methionine-it must be supplied through diet and supplementation.
Inositol metabolizes fats and cholesterol and helps transport fats in the blood system. Thus, inositol can aid in the redistribution of body fat and can help to lower cholesterol levels by moving cholesterol to the liver where it can be excreted. A deficiency of inositol produces an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver, which impairs normal liver function and can lead to weight gain. The body is able to manufacture its own supply of inositol.
Choline works in combination with inositol and emulsifies cholesterol so that it does not settle on arterial walls. It also works with methionine to detoxify the by-products of protein metabolism. Without choline, fats can become trapped in the liver and block metabolic functions. The body can produce choline, with the help of vitamin B-12, folic acid and methionine. However, the rate your body produces choline may not be adequate to meet daily metabolic needs, particularly during weight loss when a lot of body fat must be broken down.
In summary, the MIC ingredients all burn fat, reduce cholesterol, and clear fats out of the liver. The injection is a good source of methionine, which cannot be made by the body and is necessary for the production of choline. It is also a good source of inositol and choline, which the body does not make in sufficient quantities for weight loss. Together with B-12 this "combo" gives an energy boost, fights cholesterol and plaque buildup, and also helps target weight loss that is hard to lose.
2 Responses to WHAT IS MIC/B-12?
What about D3? I've been told, even in sunny Florida, that there seems to be a deficiency of this vitamin in many of us. Granted, I work inside all day and the older I get (50), the more I'm told to stay out of the sun.
Vitamin D has recently, over the last couple of years, been the subject of intense research and study.
Vitamin D and one of its metabolites D3, has always been known to help with prevention of bone thinning, osteoporosis.
Our bodies do not produce Vitamin D in any form, it has to be obtained from outside sources such as foods and primarily the sun.
taken in as additives to milk and other food sources.
The reason is our constant enemy – the pollution of our environment. All the thousands of pollutants our bodies absorb have disrupted our ability to get Vitamin D and more specifically, break it down to the needed form of Vitamin D, that is primarily D3. Research has shown that upwards to 80% of the population are deficient in Vitamin D.
Therefore a good vitamin supplementation plan would include a sufficient amount of Vitamin D.
The old recommendation was 400 International Units ( I.U.) per day. Now, there are many studies are saying that upwards to 5,000 IU's per day is best.
The reason for the drastic increase? In all the current research, the once nearly forgotten Vitamin D, is being connected to prevention of various acquired disease states.
Adequate Vitamin D is being shown to help prevent cancers, cardiovascular problems, Alzheimer's, diabetes, Fibromyalgia; a continual growing list.
By all means supplement with D. I encourage anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 IU's per day.
One other interesting fact: Vitamin D is not really a Vitamin, it is a hormone!
It is what is classed as a "prohormone" or "prehormone"! Back to the importance of hormones!

Squires - An Often Overlooked Element
Everyone vaguely familiar with the Middle Ages have heard of them, but few people nowadays appreciate just how essential squires were to medieval warfare. In this excerpt, the Lord of Ibelin's squires look after his horses on the eve of the Battle of Hattin -- and discuss the situation.
Despite Gabriel's better control of the destrier, Thor was still more interested in kicking at other stallions, his ears flat on his head, than in drinking. "Why doesn't he drink?" Ernoul asked irritably, watching Gabriel yank Thor's attention away from the stallion he was trying to kick, squealing his challenge as the other stallion swung his haunches and kicked back. Meanwhile, Centurion plunged his head down and sucked the cool water up his throat in loud, satisfied slurps.
Gabriel shook his head in incomprehension as he patted the black stallion and tried to calm him before circling around for another approach to the springs.
"I just hope we stay here now," Ernoul continued.
"Why shouldn't we? Wasn't that what they decided in Acre?" Gabriel asked, looking up sharply.
Ernoul explained, "A messenger rode in about an hour ago. The Saracens have overrun the town of Tiberias, driving the population into the citadel. The Countess of Tripoli has requested relief, and her sons are hotly urging the army to go to their mother's aid, while Châtillon—of all people!—is saying it would be 'unchivalrous' not to assist a lady in distress."
"But Tiberias is fifteen miles away—and there's not much water between here and there!" Gabriel protested.
"That's what Tripoli is trying to tell the King," Ernoul confirmed.
"Lord Balian ordered me to fetch a map from his tent and bring it to the King's tent, where the barons are in council."
Gabriel gave Ernoul a reproving look, noting, "And, of course, you stood around eavesdropping as soon as you finished your errand. No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere and had to set up the tent by myself!"
"But listen!" Ernoul answered, not bothering to deny the accusations. "They're at each other's throats in there! Châtillon and Ridefort have all but accused Tripoli of being in Salah ad-Din's pay, and Tripoli has told them he'd rather see his wife in Saracen hands than move a foot farther from the coast. He said in this heat it would be wiser to withdraw to Acre and make Salah ad-Din come to us. He says whichever army takes the offensive will have to find fodder and water, while the army that takes up a strong defensive position can just sit back and watch the enemy melt away in the heat."
Gabriel frowned. "That's all very well for Tripoli to say. His lands are north of here! What do you think would be left of Nablus or Ramla if we just hole up in Acre? If we don't face Salah ad-Din here, he'll let his horde spread out and plunder everything. We've got all the fighting men with the army now. The cities and towns are practically defenseless. What's the point of calling up the army if we're not going to fight?"
"That's what Châtillon said," Ernoul agreed.
"What did Lord Balian say?" Gabriel asked.
"You know him," Ernoul remarked with a shrug; "he held his counsel until the Constable specifically asked for his advice."
"Well, he said it would be madness to withdraw to Acre, leaving the rest of the country open to plunder and exposing the farmers and burghers to capture."
"You see!" Gabriel declared, delighted to have his lord agree with him.
"But he called the relief of Tiberias equal madness. He said the only reason Salah ad-Din had taken the city was to lure us away from the springs here and force us across the high, arid plateau between here and there. He said we should stay where we are now and force Salah ad-Din to take the offensive. From here, he argued, we can block attacks on either Nazareth or Acre, or if necessary put ourselves across the road to Jerusalem. The key, he said, was to force Salah ad-Din to commit himself."
Gabriel nodded, satisfied. "And did the others listen?"
"Most of them did, even the Constable—but Ridefort and Oultrejourdain were still arguing in favor of going to the relief of Tiberias when one of the King's knights chased me away."
Centurion had had enough to drink, and he lifted his head to nuzzle Ernoul for the carrots that he knew the squire kept tucked inside his gambeson. Gabriel had not yet succeeded in watering Thor, however. With an exasperated sigh, he decided he should give up for the moment and return later when there were fewer other horses around. Leading the stallions, the squires returned side by side to their lord's tent.

A little late, however I just found out that now that John Berra has officially retired, Dr. Gunther Kegel has been elected the chairman of the Fieldbus Foundation Board of Directors. John was chairman for 16 years – basically since the beginning. There are also a number of other changes to the Board as more people named alternates including: Daniel Huber, senior group vice president, business unit manager - open control systems, process automation division, ABB (for Mark Taft); Takuji Hosoya, managing executive officer - advanced automation company, Azbil (Yamatake); Peter Zornio, chief strategic officer, Emerson Process Management (for John Berra); and Ralph Carter, president, Rockwell software business, Rockwell Automation.
What is not shown here is that with the recent retirement of Joe Duffy, Emerson has also recently passed the chairmanship of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) on to Dave Glanzer (FF) and Matt Schreir (Honeywell) who will co-chair this committee which is responsible for the review, approval, and maintenance of the technical specifications on which FF is based.
Does this changing of the guard also represent a change of focus for Emerson the original "champions of Fieldbus?" I am sure the 'official' word will be a resounding "no, we are fully behind this protocol" but of course with CHARMS and Wireless as the new rallying cries only time will tell.
Congratulations and good luck to all the new members of these Boards.

Tycoon Acts To Reclaim Big Russian Oil Firm
By David Hoffman, The Washington Post, June 4, 1999 published: "The new documents, made available to The Washington Post, come from Yukos's registry of shares; it is open only to shareholders with 2 percent or more of a company. The records show that in recent months, while the share-dilution scheme was pending, the subsidiaries were simply taken out of Yukos's control and sent offshore. Some of the offshore companies are the same ones that may benefit from the share-dilution scheme".
"Newly disclosed documents show that control of Russia's second-largest oil company has in recent months been funneled into offshore havens in what critics describe as a daring bid by a leading business tycoon to grab back control of the company from creditors and minority shareholders.
At stake is the oil giant Yukos, with proven oil reserves of 3 billion tons and 1997 production of 47 million tons of oil. The company was carved out of the old Soviet state oil industry. One of Russia's most prominent young business tycoons, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, acquired Yukos at a series of controversial privatization auctions.
Earlier this year, Khodorkovsky stirred up a hornet's nest of criticism by launching a scheme in which three Yukos oil-production subsidiaries voted to issue millions of new shares, seriously diluting the value of those held by minority shareholders, including outspoken investor Kenneth Dart.
The dilution scheme, under investigation by Russian authorities, has not yet been approved by the Russian federal securities commission.
In the meantime, Khodorkovsky has been faced with losing control of Yukos because his bank defaulted on $236 million in loans from three Western banks in which about 30 percent of Yukos's shares were pledged as collateral. The Western banks have taken the Yukos shares that were pledged.
Now, investors say that Khodorkovsky has gone one step further than the share-dilution scheme. The documents show he has transferred virtually all of Yukos's holdings in the three subsidiaries to offshore havens. The three subsidiaries -- Yuganskneftegaz, Samaraneftegaz and Tomskneft -- are at the core of the Yukos empire. But according to the documents, the subsidiaries are now held by the offshore havens, not by Yukos. Without the subsidiaries, the value of the Yukos shares is thus dramatically reduced.
A Yukos spokesman acknowledged in response to questions today that the shares had been transferred offshore. The spokesman said it was part of a plan for "consolidation of the company" and claimed the shares would be "returned to Yukos" by the end of the year. He also said the transfer would make it easier to deal with claims from Dart over the contentious share-dilution scheme, but he did not elaborate.
But the shift of control of the subsidiaries to offshore companies has angered minority shareholders, who say it is a major affront to foreign investors at a time when Russia badly needs overseas capital and already suffers from a sorry track record in its treatment of investors.
James Fenkner, an equities analyst at Troika Dialog, a major brokerage house here that also represents some Yukos investors, said: "It's incredibly brazen. A couple of years ago, people said Russian managers will steal, but only a little and it will improve over time. What this case shows is, it is all or nothing. It's true that minority shareholders and creditors can get nothing. It's kind of shocking.
"The second-largest oil company in Russia is no longer held under Russia jurisdiction," Fenkner said. "More importantly, it is no longer under Russian tax jurisdiction."
The new documents, made available to The Washington Post, come from Yukos's registry of shares; it is open only to shareholders with 2 percent or more of a company. The records show that in recent months, while the share-dilution scheme was pending, the subsidiaries were simply taken out of Yukos's control and sent offshore. Some of the offshore companies are the same ones that may benefit from the share-dilution scheme.
The records do not show the terms of the sales or the prices.
For example, as of Feb. 5, Yukos held about 51 percent of the voting shares and about 37 percent of the actual shares, in Samaraneftegaz. According to the registry, this was reduced to 0.2 percent by mid-May. The registry shows that the new owners of the Samaraneftegaz shares are offshore companies: M.Q.D. International Ltd., Virgin Islands; Sequential Holdings; and Parton Ltd., Isle of Man. Altogether, these companies hold more than 50 percent of Samaraneftegaz voting shares, which under Russian law is the threshold needed for control.
Yukos has refused comment on who owns the offshore firms. The spokesman said today that the offshore firms are "our partners" but claimed Yukos did not own them. But Western investors believe they are controlled by Khodorkovsky and a few of his top assistants. Legal specialists have said that if this is so, the share-dilution scheme may have violated Russian law.
Chief among those who stand to suffer from the latest transfers of the shares offshore are the three banks that made the $236 million loan with the Yukos shares as collateral: Japan's Daiwa, West Merchant Bank of Germany and Standartbank of South Africa. A Daiwa official declined comment. West Merchant did not return a call for comment.
In an interview today, Dmitry Vasilyev, head of the Russian securities commission, said the investigation is continuing of the share-dilution scheme and he could not comment until it is finished. "I will look carefully at all the complaints," he said". – notes The Washington Post in the article "Tycoon Acts To Reclaim Big Russian Oil Firm".

Daily Tax Report ®
Sales by Walmart and other online retailers have boomed in the pandemic's stay-at-home months, reaping states their only revenue bright spot thanks to the Supreme Court's "Wayfair" decision, which permitted taxes on sales by remote vendors.

Covid Accelerates a Wave of 'Wayfair' Tax Revenue
By Tripp Baltz and Michael J. Bologna
Remote sales taxes increasing with virus-fueled growth in ecommerce
Audits, enforcement, possibly litigation, seen in next 12 months
States are struggling, with tax collections having nosedived as much as 50% in the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. But there is a silver lining that wasn't available in earlier economic downturns.
Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court's groundbreaking Wayfair decision, handed down almost exactly two years ago, states are collecting billions of dollars on e-commerce sales that were previously uncollected.
In the South Dakota vs. Wayfair ruling, issued June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court tossed out its 25-year-old physical presence standard limiting state collection of taxes from out-of-state vendors. The decision led to tax collection-and-remittance requirements on remote sellers and marketplace facilitators based on their level of economic activity in a state. Now all but two of the sales tax states are doing so.
States with a sales tax rely heavily on it: Sales and personal income taxes combined represent about 75% of all state general fund revenue collections. Overall sales tax revenues are down because 95% of the country—including most brick-and-mortar businesses—was shut down because of the virus. But e-commerce sales have surged, with U.S. online retailers year-over-year growth up by as much as 128% in recent weeks.
"The ability to collect sales taxes on remote commerce is more important than ever, because states need all the money they can get," said Jared Walczak, director of state tax policy at the Tax Foundation.
Economic modeling by Moody's Investors Service estimates the pandemic would cut state tax collections 15% for fiscal year 2021, a loss of up to $200 billion when compared against collections in FY 2019. The Moody's model shows state tax collections won't rebound to FY 2019 levels until FY 2024, unless the states enact tax increases.
An analysis by Jeff Clemens, a professor of economics at the University of California-San Diego, shows the biggest losses will be seen in the states' two largest revenue sources, sales taxes and income taxes. Losses from the two sources are expected to climb to roughly $110 billion for FY 2021.
And its going to get worse in the coming months, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. Declines in state tax collections are forecast to well exceed the 11.6% drop states experienced during the Great Recession, with some states anticipating declines of more than 20%, NASBO said.
Meanwhile online sales tax collections are running 100-125% higher year-over-year. The nation's biggest retailer, Walmart, reported its U.S. e-commerce sales grew 74% in the first quarter, with strong results for grocery pickup and delivery services, Walmart.com, and marketplace sales.
The lawsuit's lead plaintiff and namesake, Wayfair, a Boston-based home furnishings retailer, announced record sales for the first quarter of 2020 and a record number of new customers using its online sales portal.
Sales on online marketplaces like those run by Walmart, Amazon.com Inc., Etsy Inc., and eBay Inc. are increasingly important given that more than 40 of the 45 sales tax states are now imposing their collection-and-remittance requirements on these big online platforms. Most marketplace facilitator laws were approved or took effect in the last 12 months.
The adoption of remote sales tax and marketplace facilitator laws hasn't been without its growing pains.
Food delivery providers and other gig-economy companies are petitioning states to be exempt from marketplace laws. Meanwhile, telecommunications companies are pushing for amendments allowing them to negotiate with marketplace facilitators on who has the collection obligations. They say they have historically collected such taxes and fees as the 911 fee and the Universal Service Fund, and they're better at it than the marketplaces.
But in March, Multistate Tax Commission member-states turned back an AT&T effort to urge states to adopt a model law proposed by the National Conference of State Legislatures that would allow companies with more than $1 billion in sales to collect and remit taxes in lieu of facilitators.
States want to sit back and see how their marketplace facilitator laws shake out before making any adjustments to them, said Richard Cram, national nexus program director with the MTC.
For Missouri and Florida, however, the Covid-19 recession could prompt a change of heart. They are the only two states that so far have sat out collection of sales taxes on remote sellers.
"There is going to be pressure for them to move forward given the significant revenue impact on their budgets," said Jamie Yesnowitz, a principal and state and local tax practice and national tax office leader at Grant Thornton LLP. "In this type of environment a revenue stream that could be in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars can't be ignored."
Revenue pressure may also mean states turn up the enforcement heat.
"Once this pandemic passes, hopefully soon, we'd expect more concentrated efforts, particularly in a revenue-starved environment," Yesnowitz said, who expects more aggressive auditing.
If efforts are made, however, "I don't know whether additional audit enforcement is going to bring in significant revenue" for the states, Stephen Kranz, partner with McDermott, Will & Emery, a tax lawyer who has represented Microsoft and Apple, told Bloomberg Tax. "We saw a 100 percent economy go to near zero; states are not going to get that back through sales audits."
As the pandemic era gives way to more regular business, some longer-term concerns and challenges may start to bubble up for consideration.
A primary concern of sellers has been the patchwork of state and local sales tax models and minimum sales thresholds for triggering a remote tax obligation. Many follow the South Dakota model of $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions into a state annually—which the Supreme Court ruling suggested would be acceptable constitutionally. A handful have no transaction thresholds.
Kansas has no threshold at all, a fact that may make that state's law the first target of legal challenge against remote-seller taxes, Walczak suggested.
Whether more standardization will develop isn't clear.
Scott Peterson, vice president of government relations at the tax software company Avalara, expects to see simplification in states like Louisiana, Colorado, and Alaska, which could increase centralization of returns for both state and local governments. In fact, he expects that model to be a success.
"And I expect them to broaden that to make it easier for retailers in general," he said.
MTC's Cram said states may ask whether the threshold dollar figure should rise with inflation or fall as it becomes easier for smaller businesses to comply.
It's possible, too, that states will want to make more certain of revenue collection in the way tax authorities around the world are doing to fight value-added tax fraud and bring in billions in currently unpaid taxes—using computerized real-time reporting and collection systems.
"This is about states saying give me my slice of the pie as quickly as possible," Avalara's Liz Armbruester said. "I don't want to wait 30 or 60 or 180 days after the transaction to collect my money."
A further ramification of the Wayfair ruling that has yet to play out significantly is expansion of the economic-presence concept to areas other than sales taxes—to company taxes, for example.
"Our expectation was that a lot more states would jump on the bandwagon and impose economic nexus rules for their corporate income taxes and do that in a manner that would encourage a convergence of the sales tax and the income tax nexus rules," Yesnowitz said. "We haven't really seen it due to the pandemic. We will be watchful to see if that changes in the summer and the fall when legislatures come back."

At least 9 killed in two attacks in Afghanistan
At least two people were killed in a bomb attack on an Afghan television station on Sunday, while seven policemen were killed in Kandahar in an "attack by Taliban loyalists.
The attacks come amid mounting violence in Afghanistan despite negotiations in Doha between the United States and the Taliban to try to reach a peace deal in Afghanistan.
A spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, Nasrat Rahimi, said that a "sticky bomb" was placed on a bus carrying Khurshid TV employees, which led to an explosion in the Timani area, in central Kabul.
Two pedestrians were killed and four wounded, including two employees of Khorshid TV.
Photos showing on social networks showed a small white bus and its head was damaged.
The journalist at the station Zabihullah Durandish, that three of his colleagues were injured, saying that the security services had warned earlier in the possibility of targeting the Taliban them.
In June, the Taliban threatened to target media outlets that broadcast propaganda against the movement.
On Twitter, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani considered the bus bombing a "war crime".
"I strongly condemn the attack on the Khurshid station, and the deliberate targeting of the media and civilians is a war crime and those responsible will be held accountable," he wrote in a tweet.
"I can not express my sorrow for your loss," he said.
In Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, at least seven policemen were killed by fire from comrades believed to be pro-Taliban.
The attack took place at a police checkpoint, where eight Taliban delegates took part in a police checkpoint, killing seven policemen and injuring one, said Jamal Nasser Parkzai, spokesman for Kandahar state police chief.
"Mendesaw fled the Taliban and we deployed additional troops in the area," he said.
Another security official said the toll was 11, while the movement said its killers had killed 14 "militants".

Train Taxi
Train Taxi for Android is a very interesting and fascinating arcade from SayGames Studio, where we will be engaged in passenger transportation by rail. The game has an original design, pleasant cartoon graphics, excellent animation, and good sound.
The gameplay is divided into multiple levels, in each of which we must collect passengers. And they don't need to be taken anywhere. The main thing is that there are no people left on the location, and then we immediately go to the new location. The playing field is very similar to a huge rectangle, consisting of giant figures of Tetris. In each section, a crowd of men is waiting for the train, which immediately turns out to be on the train when it passes by.
The most interesting thing is that initially, the train consists only of a head car, but as new passengers arrive, the number of trailers increases. At one point the train begins to resemble a notorious snake and not only in its appearance. The point is that while cruising in small areas, we can stumble upon the tail of the train and there will be a crash, which should not be allowed in any way. It's good that after such an event we are not imposed any sanctions, but only offer to restart the mission. The number of lives in the game is unlimited.
Train Taxi features for Android:
Interesting gameplay;
Original design;
Pleasant graphics;
Many levels;
Easy operation.
Sometimes in addition to people in the vast areas of locations you can find the keys, it's impossible to pass by them. Just keep in mind that by collecting three keys, you can open the corresponding number of chests with gold coins. In addition, sometimes between normal tasks, there are bonus ones, where instead of passengers the train collects gold. You will be able to collect all the coins without "stepping on your tail" – the money is yours. However, thanks to the gold you can buy other trains and nothing else.

Train Simulator 2017 is a wonderful train simulator for Android, developed by iGames Entertainment. A new project from the South Indian studio, which has released more than one similar product in the genre of a simulator, as well as racing games. Again, the developers suggest that we feel ourselves in the role of a high-speed train driver.
The truth is to get into the armchair of a modern locomotive, it is necessary to go through a hard way, "roll" a lot of green pieces of paper. It is possible to open all the compounds at once but about this method a little later.
Initially, we are invited to buy the first train and is given $ 1000. Obtain, of course, the cheapest. Then the game process begins directly. We open the doors, the passengers come in, close the doors well, and on the knurl. Everything you need we have. Speed control lever, emergency brake button, dial tone. With a dozen kinds of cameras, even a view from the passenger's face is available. We bring people to the station, get money and experience, and again for work until we save up for a new train. You can also get money for watching commercials.
In the game Train Simulator 2017, there is the easiest way to get all the trains at once. Press the flashing button in the right-hand left corner and buy them for some fee. And for a small contribution – to disable advertising. Of course, you can manage without purchases but the passage will be long.
Graphically, the game did not reach the "good" mark. The lack of proper detailing afflicts, smoothing. In general, the schedule is normal. Musical accompaniment can be said quite successful but not very diverse. The management of the train itself is a universal language, everyone will understand. Download the game Train Simulator 2017 on the Android OS, available for free.

The game location is a back yard of a house, on the site of which you will drive on your locomotive. The point is to collect the trains that extend the train but not all in a row but as far as possible of a certain color. Having collected three identical, trailers disappear, for this the player is credited with coins.
In the course of your journey, in addition to them, there will also be different kinds of bonuses. Such as a snowflake, it slightly reduces the constantly increasing speed of the locomotive. Or a bonus, giving the opportunity to remove one color of the car from your train. There is also a bonus, which allows you to change the color of the already fallen wagons. It is worth remembering that, like in the classic snake, a collision with a wall means a loss.
The complexity of the game "Brave Train" adds to the fact that your makeup does not consume coal and electricity. Its stock is not infinite, so do not miss the lightning bolt on the field. It will recharge the battery slightly. The game has three levels of difficulty, differing in the speed of moving the train, the number of cars appearing and the time for which the battery is charging. For accumulated coins, you can buy a new locomotive and open the next location. The game shop provides seven types of trains, differing in combat coloring, speed, and characteristics of battery capacity. The last of them has a surprise in the form of multiplying the doubled coins.
It should be noted that in addition to cars and bonuses, parts of the puzzle appear on the field, selecting which, the player has the opportunity to collect the picture. And for this, he is waiting for a gift in the form of a unique locomotive. The graphics in the game are executed with dignity, pleasant visual effects, dynamic shadows.

Once you will build the metro, you will also be able to take the first passengers. Now it is your responsibility to ensure that trains do not collide with one another and are not derailed. If it happens, the first who will suffer – of course the passengers.
We recommend downloading Subway Craft: Build & Ride on Android and learn how to make real rails for the Metro. The game is fascinating and very diverse. You can build a metro to infinity, thereby making the city and infrastructure more developed and modern. New building materials and modern technology to help you.

Euro Train Simulator by Highbrow Interactive
Euro Train Simulator is a realistic simulator in which the player controls modern, supersonic passenger trains of long-distance communication.
The game has a detailed thought over scenarios, graphics, sound, and a simple control algorithm.
Euro Train Simulator – gameplay:
The action takes place on the railway of the European Union – this means the modern and developed infrastructure of the railway and a complex geographic landscape. You need to choose one of ten modern passenger trains. Choose a route – a mission. Missions should be performed for a limited amount of time and energy resources.
Each mission accomplished – comfortable and safe delivery of cargo and passengers – will bring you winning bonuses. The goal of the game is to fulfill all missions, win bonuses. To become the leader of the rating table of the game and get a new, invaluable experience, and pleasure from the game. To complicate the implementation of missions can: weather conditions, times of day, undisciplined passengers, and a lot more, generated by the obstacle program.
The player needs to get used to the signaling system on the railway transport – three traffic lights: green, red, yellow. Passengers of trains represent all vertical and horizontal layers of the European community. Railway stations and stations have an authentic view. Sound support – experts from the film industry worked on it – very realistic. Animation of people, trains, and stations – interior and exterior – and the environment are detailed.
Euro Train Simulator – Features:
The application is free. Has the function of alerting the player of all events during the game. The application is updated regularly – this means that developers are constantly working to bring the game to perfection.
Subway Simulator 3D
If to speak in more detail, the game is a race on trains in the subway. Apparently because there many have been and experienced some unhealthy interest in this type of transport, maybe because the race on something else is already in large numbers, which implies a high competition, maybe just developers are very fond of the metro. But it's not so important, it's more important that you surely like the game!
Only here you can feel yourself a real machinist, estimate the speed with which the train will fly past the stations and, perhaps, be imbued with the spirit of this mode of transport.
Also, because of high speeds and complex tasks, you will have to work on wear and tear, training your reaction, attentiveness, and ability to make the right decision in a short time. Incidentally, it is this game that is positioned as a child that is considered one of the most realistic among its audience, and realism in games does not go unnoticed, so do not miss the opportunity to evaluate it.
Features of the game Subway Simulator 3D:
the game has very simple and convenient control, which is important for high stakes and speeds;
graphics deserve a separate conversation, but in short – it's a great 3D world in HD;
you will be pleasantly surprised by the view from the cab of the train, before you will open a dark tunnel, sweeping along which many different things can come to mind.
So include the super-rider mode and attack the rails, checking the strength of the train, your nerves, and the technicalities of the subway.
Thomas and friends: Race on!
Thomas & Friends: Race On! – this game is a race for small users gadgets. Thomas is a famous locomotive from the cartoon of Chuggington.
The young player and the machinist should be made so that each engine is awarded its award and won in its race. Absolutely, it does not matter which locomotive to start its way as a driver, as the player can immediately choose from all the trains.
Let's say Thomas was chosen. Now our task is to chase and overtake other characters from the cartoon. Managing a locomotive is not particularly difficult. As the developers realized that the main users of the game will be children from 2 to 9 years. You can accelerate the engine by quickly pressing the green button. In some situations, you will be able to speed up your character by pressing the acceleration button. Pressing it, our engine makes a serious break from its rival in the race.
In case of victory, you will be awarded a cup, as well as one of the pieces of the gold award. If you manage to collect all the pieces, then you will receive a gold statuette, modeled after the character of Thomas. And so, you need to get a statuette for each character. Each locomotive has its own location for conducting racing races.
A special advantage of the game is that there is a joint game mode, in case the device supports multitouch. Thus, both your children will be busy with the case. There is no difference in the image of cartoon characters and trains from the game. And the voice that accompanies the locomotive drives will help children to understand the races more quickly.

B. Matelis. R. Karbauskis' strike at V. Landsbergis – insignificant on a historical scale
Bronius Matelis
© Personal archive
I believe that Seimas Speaker V. Pranckietis was earnest when he proposed to acknowledge V. Landsbergis as the factual head of state for when he was in the office of Supreme Council – Reconstituent Seimas chairman in 1990-1992.
However the Speaker did not consider that his former student and now the Seimas Farmer and Greens group prefect grew up in a different environment and thus may not be able to understand it.
Consider it yourselves. You live care-free in something like Naisiai, the collective farm with all the cows and lands is seemingly yours because the chairman of the farm is your father, who is well respected and in turn, those working in the collective farm bow and scrape to his kids. Nothing lacking for a care-free youth.
PM says he backs benefits for Landsbergis, but not president's status
R. Juknevičienė responds to R. Karbauskis comments on the status of V. Landsbergis (1)
But suddenly – bang and all the collective farm chairmen, agronomists and other specialists begin complaining within earshot of the young student that some grand piano virtuoso named Landsbergis is ascending to power and threatens to dismantle the collective farms. Supposedly he will let everyone take away the roofing from the cow pens, partial owners will have to split up the cows – some get the horns, some the hooves and some – the meat. What awaits the Lithuanian countryside?
R. Karbauskis did not lie that V. Pranckietis' opinion was not coordinated with the group. Because the word "group" in at least this grouping has an excellent synonym – "Karbauskis", so take it that the thought without the leader's permission sounded heretical.
The prefect is already doing and will do all in his power that the group would not have any other opinions and he will, no doubt, succeed in a majority rejecting the Seimas Speaker's initiative. This is because the group's composition is... well, it is something like a collective farm.
V. Pranckietis is older than his student and furthermore he is a scientist, who remembers well the atmosphere of March 11, 1990, January 13, 1991 and the other dates of import to Lithuania, grasped with a matured mind which of the politicians then was uplifted to take responsibility for the consequences. And that man took up that responsibility. And I am not talking about cheap "doctor" sausages at shops.
I believe that several other venerable Sąjūdis leaders would have stood firm, but things ended as they did. You cannot change history. A leader was needed then and was found.
An independence struggle is meaningless without a leader because such a struggle can be easily snuffed out because the world would not have had a pH strip to understand the local circumstances. The talks of various figures of that time that there were three or four leaders and there was no single core individual are worthless because then we would have to admit that there was no single leader in Poland (some electrician can't be a leader), Czechoslovakia (a dramatist), while in Lithuania if you are in power as a music and art professor, you just eat loaf bread with condensed milk. What sort of leaders are these?
What are we talking about here? Why the hell are we tricking ourselves by trying to diminish V. Landsbergis' role in the independence movement's history?
Why do we have to coordinate the recognition of that role with a mind injured in youth by the collective farms, one that does not acknowledge that the dismantling of those collective farms allowed him himself to pick up the best farms and most fertile lands? Not just nominally as the son of a collective farm chairman, but truly for himself.
The complaint about similar proposals having to be coordinated with this prefect is comparable to coordinate Lithuania's entry to NATO and the EU with him and if we turn time back even further, perhaps we would even face complaints over questions of Independence. Perhaps I am making a cynical quip, but is this not the sort of thing we are talking about?
Recognising or not that V. Landsbergis was the factual head of state and in what form this should be done to follow the ruling of the Constitutional Court should be something comprehensible for most, something that needs not be coordinated neither with V. Uspaskich, nor R. Paksas or R. Karbauskis who replaced them. We are after all talking about more than sympathies or antipathies to a man, eating loaf bread or political grudges, we are talking about nobler things.
I understand that R. Karbauskis is a businessman and having engaged his parking break he is perhaps expecting a humbled G. Landsbergis' request to negotiate over his grandfather's regalia?
Well, say that G. Landsbergis' group is not complaining, supports all of R. Karbauskis' initiatives, no longer talks about the prefect's business in Russia and D. Grybauskaitė's invitation to discuss those regalia in the Presidential Palace would further consolidate R. Karbauskis' belief that a compromise can be found over V. Landsbergis.
Oh blessed naiveté! It could also happen so that businessman R. Karbauskis will have to come to terms that negotiating over fertiliser prices is one thing and over other things in politics is another. Everyone can opt to not negotiate with him at all because V. Landsbergis and R. Karbauskis political weight categories are vastly different.
When will it have to be done? The trenches are dug already, V. Landsbergis has been trampled on again. And what if you enter the history books in such a context, God forbid?
Then it will once again, just like with the referendum on accession to NATO, be necessary to explain to everyone that no I did not say so, I was misunderstood and misinterpreted.
This is why I say – this strike of R. Karbauskis' will not erase V. Landsbergis from history, but the assailant's hand may yet hurt for a long time.

From protesting with Anonymous to connecting with everyone – including the police. Ilaria writes.
This brings back lots of memories and tears to my eyes.
I do think Anonymous and Occupy are the best movements today and I have been working for Occupy in New York and a bit in London too. In the past I did break barricades and chanted chorus against the police in general. To break a barricade, in Italy was more difficult than here, we called it 'Sfondare' and it did feel amazing to be part of a protest against a system that wasn't fair. Also the element of danger, and the feeling of being all at one with the other protesters.
But the more I feed my spiritual and artistic side, the more I connect with every human on the planet. By hanging out with everyone and by having deep connection with all sorts of people, I can't help feeling that we are all the same and that's our strength.
Martin Luther King used to say that physical and verbal violence only brings up more violence and hate. Hate brings more hate, violence brings more violence. Today, looking at the protester, so close to my ideas of right and wrong, and then looking at the police officials, I can't help but thinking what is going on in their minds too.
They are humans like us, and I met so many lovely policemen in my life, that I can no longer see them as a whole-like system. Especially in London, I met lovely policemen at Notting Hill Carnival, for example, allowing partygoers to paint their faces and dancing with the people. Or the other evening, at the park, when I lost my phone, helping me with a torch, looking everywhere underneath the leaves. And many other times, when I met and had business to do, with lovely policemen, who tried their best to be fair and to defend and protect people.
This is a simplification and it is not obviously always like this, but if the revolution has to become a Re-lov-ution, then we shouldn't feel hate, but love towards every other human being. Probably some of these men, standing there defending something they don't believe in anymore, would be on the other side, hadn't they a check to bring home at the end of the month.
Probably these same men and women, offended and spited in the face (instead of being talked to and smiled at), will develop hate towards protesters who could otherwise help them understanding what is wrong in the system and spreading the re-lov-ution on.
In Italy, the police killed Stefano Cucchi. No one was condemned. Things like these shouldn't be forgotten. Neither should all the other people killed, tortured and abused in police cells and in the streets everyday - The Ferguson shooting being the last big one in the news. The system has to change. But I wonder if we can find a better way than shouting offences with a mask on our face. I am sure lots of policemen will change side if we could find ways to connect with them. And maybe one day, we wouldn't even have sides anymore.
I know this is starting to sound all a bit too rhetoric, but as humanity, we are, really, all one.

The path of the 'Game of Thrones' director with Argentine roots

Miguel Sapochnik is responsible for several of the best episodes of the HBO series.
by Yamily Habib
The path of the 'Game of Thrones' director...
By José G. Márquez
"The long night," the third episode of the epic Sci-Fi series "Game of Thrones" (HBO), was a record-breaker with more than 17.8 million viewers total, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
You can see online dozens of videos where fans react to the final scene of the episode [SPOILER], where the Night King and his army are defeated.
The celebration of viewers in bars and in their houses can only be compared to a World Cup finale, with a prize that the director of the episode, a British-born with Argentinians roots, would surely take home.
His name is Miguel Vicente Rosenberg-Sapochnik - Miguel Sapochnik - and he is one of the most important television directors of the moment.
He was born in 1974, in Hammersmith, London, five years after his parents - a graphic designer and a psychologist - left their home country running away from the military dictatorship of Juan Carlos Onganía in Argentina.
Because of fate (and human stupidity), both countries went to war eight years after his birth.
In an interview with Variety, Miguel said that he suffered bullying from his classmates during the war, being frequently attacked for his Argentine origin.
It didn't help either his parents' explanation: the Malvinas War was an excuse for both countries to distract its people from real internal problems.
"It was so painful to feel that I knew what was really happening, but nobody believed me," the filmmaker said about that moment in his life.
Luckily, the war soon ended.
From cinema to television
His cinematographic vocation came in at the age of 11, after he watched the Sci-Fi film "Dune" (David Lynch, 1984), in The Empire Theater in Leicester Square (London).
Miguel had a steady goal for many years: to release his first movie, in that very theater, at age 24. Eventually, his dream didn't come true.
Actually, Miguel saw how dozens of projects he was involved in fell apart for many years, both in the United States and the United Kingdom, one after another.
But in 2010 his luck changed.
Working on it since 2003, "Repo Men" was his first and, so far, only movie: the Sci-Fi story, based on the book "The Repossession Mambo" by the Latino writer Eric Garcia, and starred by Jude Law.
Miguel made a nod to his roots in the story, causing the main character to flee to Punta del Este (Uruguay) and open a bank account in Buenos Aires. Unfortunately, the film was not well received either by critics or the public.
He then planned to do the same thing with another Sci-Fi film: "Rainey the Assassin," which would be an independent bilingual drama about an Argentine psychiatrist who is obsessed with avenging the murder of a relative by a British soldier in Malvinas. But this project never came to fruition.
As a director, his path was on Sci-Fi genre, but his success would be on television.
Since 2011, Miguel has directed episodes of TV shows such as "Dr. House," "Fringe," "Awake," "True Detective," "Altered Carbon," "Iron Fist" and, of course, "Game of Thrones."
It was the latest that allowed him to show his talent to the world. He has directed six episodes for this show so far, three of which ranked best among fans in IMDB, including "Battle of the Bastards," which earned him an Emmy Award for Best Direction in a dramatic series in 2016.
What's next for Miguel Sapochnik after "Game of Thrones"?
His second movie!
Under the title BIOS, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic land where a robot, built to protect its creator's pet, learns about life, love, friendship, and what it means to be human.
Starred by Tom Hanks, the movie is currently being shot and will be released in 2020.
Because yes, you can make Sci-Fi and social criticism at the same time.
"Sci-fi works for me as a way of getting across a social conceit couched as entertainment, Social realist movies lost their way because they are just not that entertaining," concludes Miguel.
So be it, Miguel!
