Reading between the font size
An e-book may feel nothing like flipping through a classic book, thanks to technology, it has many takers
American composer, musician and film director Frank Vincent Zappa would have loved to read a book each day, but as he said so many books, so little time! And this is where the buck stops— time. This is where the digital world immediately rushes in with a big bundle of pages, scribbled in black, only you can pack similar kind of such pages of your choice, increase or decrease their font size whenever you want, call for a dictionary with a click… flaunt it as an e-book and move on.

Glamour struck
The new season brings new trends and fashions to follow , to experiment, to innovate and then preen and ask the mirror privately "who is the most handsome of all?" and "Will I get a second glance?" and that's how trendsetters come into being . An astrologer, a painter and a dental doctor too Jog Jatin Khurana is all for wearing the proper attitude -
Future Shock
Glass ceiling!
What is Google Glass?
For those who have grown up on Star Trek, our fantasies have come alive in 2013. This year has brought us the Google Glass. It looks dangerously similar to Geordi La Forge's visors in the popular CBS citcom. In fact, Google gave La Forge the opportunity to try their glasses out. His response? "It would be a downgrade".
Cool it down
Cooling down is the act of gradually lowering body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate following exercise. The importance and benefits of cooling down after exercise are less well known and practiced even less. What you do after your workout is almost as important as the workout itself. In order to get maximum benefits from your training, an effective cool down should be performed afterwards. An effective cool down maximises the benefits you will gain from the exercise you performed prior to it.
pet passion
"Muffin was my birthday gift last February after much persuasion and cajoling but now he is more their pet than mine," tells us young Mannat. Belonging to the aristocratic breed of Pugs, he looked at us with his big black limpid eyes overlooking the typical 'pug' up turned and rather an apology of a nose.
stress buster
Balance your act
Learning to respond in a balanced fashion to events is a key skill in fighting stress. A generally bad day at work, at home or in general is not really life threatening. The main issue is in acknowledging your problems. Do not ignore them. Many behaviour patterns that are deeply imbedded in our psyche often surface in times of stress. You may find that many a time in a work situation or even at home you are not comfortable with a certain situation. Slowly the resentment starts building up and you become angry and intolerant of other people.

Of names and misnomers
Richa Chadda's character's name in Fukrey is Bholi Punjabban but she is not bholi or innocent at all. She plays a gangster by that name in the movie and she is young, hostile, ambitious and sexy; a girl who knows how to use her charm.

Even Akshay Kumar feels some re-shooting is needed and so Ekta's case is stronger because of Akshay's support. Milan does not feel the re-shoot is necessary but now let us see what happens.

Resume position
Salman Khan is back to work, shooting for his brother Sohail Khan's upcoming production Mental, in the hill city of Lavasa.

Now, however, things seem to have settled down, with the unit resuming shooting in Lavasa.
Ranbir is a bunny!
Ranbir Kapoor has funny monikers in his movies. In Barfi, he was Barfi. In Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, he is Bunny. Now in Besharam, he will be Pepsi. Ranbir goes with what the script and the director say and he likes that the audience relates to his cute on-screen names.
Whatever works: Ranbir Kapoor in a still from the movie

The dishes at the Sahara bash, in celebration of Sridevi winning the Padma Shri award, were named after her hit films and performances. There were dishes like Chandni jalebi, Chaalbaaz pav bhaji, Chand Ka tukda ice-cream, Lamhe lamb satay, English Vinglish salad, and many others. Such a sweet tribute. The party did not have a big turnout.

Over the past months, BirdLife Malta received a record number of 10 swifts (Rundun) after these were found by members of the public.
The young fledglings, which were found out of the nest, were then cared for round-the-clock by BirdLife staff and volunteers until they were strong enough to be released a few days ago.
"Every year, we receive a large number of injured wild birds, and during the summer, swifts are the most common birds in need of help. This species visits us each year to nest in areas like Mdina, Sliema, St Julians and San Ġwann," BirdLife said.
BirdLife thanked members of the public who were very supportive in this venture as they handed over the fledglings to the NGO who had the opportunity to care for them until they were able to survive on their own. "Some of the young fall from their nest but, unlike sparrows, the parents abandon them completely. BirdLife Malta is providing new breeding spots for these birds through our ongoing breeding birds project aimed at increasing swift breeding success in Malta," it said.
Thanks to the support of the public, many of them are handed over to BirdLife Malta who then have the opportunity to take care of them, until they are able to survive alone. BirdLife Malta is also providing new breeding spots for these birds through their ongoing breeding birds project aimed at increasing swift breeding success in Malta.


Did everyone enjoy treating yourselves last week? I hope so!
On top of giving in to indulgences, something that's incredibly important for your mind and body is staying healthy. Obviously. But in addition to exercise, eating greens, and getting enough sleep, it's also on you to keep up with your health via doctor appointments. It's definitely an annoying part of being an adult, but keeping up with your check-ups is imperative to catching (god-forbid!) health issues before they get too serious, and for peace of mind that you're all good.
October was Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I love that it provides a general reminder to get screened. It also got me thinking about the other checkups that I should be getting now that I'm in my 30s. It seems like the age to start getting to the doctor for a handful of new reasons.
Obviously everyone's health, body, and beliefs are VERY different, but what we all have in common is that certain screenings are a must—and health is a priority.
Challenge: Talk to your doctor and come up with a schedule of what you personally need/want to be screened for or treated for. Schedule any that need to be done within the next 12 months.
Again, talk to your doctor, but I wanted to provide a general list of the screenings/treatment women should have, how often, and at what age. Unless noted, the details below are based on women without issues in that certain area.
Dentist—1-2x a year for an exam + cleaning.
Cholesterol—At least every 5 years if you're over 20.
Diabetes—If you have high blood pressure or a BMI over 25, you should be screened.
Eyes—Every 2 years if you have vision problems.
Immunizations—Flu shot 1x a year, Tetanus booster every 10 years, HPV vaccine 1 time if you're ages 18-26.
Physical exam—Every 1-2 years. Check blood pressure, skin, cervical cancer screening (ages 21+), height, weight, and BMI.
Breasts—Ages 20-40 monthly self breast exam & clinical breast exam every 3 years, mammogram age 40+.
Pelvic exam & Pap—Every 3 years (if you've had recurring normal tests and are with the same partner). Every 2 years if you're sexually active with new partners or in your early 20s.
Blood glucose—Every 3 years starting at age 45.
Colon cancer—Age 50+, every 5-10 years. Colonoscopy every 10 years.
You are so right! We really should take care of us!
Thanks for the reminders! I needed this!
I totally agree….we use to forget visiting the specialists as frequently as we should do it just because we live in a continuos hurry.
Oh wow this is informative! I didn't know that all those tests were necessary. I only go for a physical exam every year as part of office mandate.
– For your physical, ask your doctor to do a vitamin and mineral panel. You want to see what you are insufficient in. This is so absolutely important. Your body needs the right amount of minerals (even more than Vitamins) to function. This could be the difference between you living to 90 or getting breast cancer at 35. If the dr says no, FIND ANOTHER DR. Also, if your Vitamin D is not around 70 supplement with 5K IUDs until you get to that level. Yes, it is high but that is where you reap the immense benefits. Ferritin is also another very important number that is often overlooked.
– Use pH strips to see if your body is acidic or alkaline. An acidic body = disease.
– Get a breast thermography. It can detect cancer many years before a tumor is visible in an MRI or CT scan. If you know something is happening early, you can change your diet/lifestyle and reverse the changes.
I learned this the tough way. I have reversed cervical dysplasia twice with nutrition so I know that the body is constantly working to keep us alive.


Segolene Royal has lost her catfight, or whatever it was, with Valerie Trierweiler. As I mentioned yesterday, Royal was the long-time "companion" of France's new president Francois Hollande, and the mother of his four children. An unsuccessful candidate for president in 2007, Royal ran for parliament this year with the expectation of becoming Speaker of the National Assembly.
But Hollande's new "companion," the journalist Valerie Trierweiler, tweeted an endorsement of Royal's opponent. And when the votes were counted today, Royal had lost.
It's been a tough five years for Royal. As noted, she lost to Nicolas Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential elections. She then lost a bitter fight for the leadership of the Socialist Party the next year. And last year she was defeated by her former partner, Hollande, in the battle to the Socialist nominee for president.
Hollande tried to make it up to her by endorsing Royal for parliament; ordinarily, the president would not have become involved in a local race among Socialists. But Trierweiler was having none of it.
Meanwhile, Royal's four children reportedly are no longer on speaking terms with their father's new companion.
JOHN adds: John Edwards should move to France.

By the time Greg Olson was swept out of Oakland after the 2014 season, along with most every other coach, he had been credited with the rapid development of rookie quarterback Derek Carr and criticized for the Raiders poor offensive performance overall.
New head coach Jon Gruden cited Olson's work with Carr that season as part of the reason he hired Olson to be his offensive coordinator next season, if not for years to come. Gruden also liked what he saw from Olson when he was the quarterbacks coach in Tampa Bay for the 2008 season, Gruden's last.
Olson most recently worked with the Los Angeles Rams as their quarterbacks coach. He received widespread praise for helping transform quarterback Jared Goff from a dazed-and-confused rookie last season into one of the game's rising stars this season.
Gruden is confident that Olson can weave the same kind of magic with Carr next season. Carr regressed from a league MVP candidate last season to an unsteady performer for most of this season, even before he broke three bones in his back in Oakland's fourth game.
Given Carr was a rookie in 2014 and the Raiders still were in full-on rebuild mode, not much was expected of them, especially on offense when Carr was thrust into a starting role from the outset. Hence, it wasn't surprising that the Raiders struggled offensively.
In fact, the Raiders struggled as much as any team in the league. They were 32nd in yards per game at an average of 282.2 and 31st in scoring at 15.8. By comparison, in 2013 the Raiders were 23rd in yards per game at 333.8 and 24th in scoring at 20.1 in Olson's first year. Terrelle Pryor, Matt McGloin and Matt Flynn started at quarterback that season.
Not much can be gleaned from Olson's three years as the Buccaneers offensive coordinator, from 2009-11. He learned of his promotion to that role the day before the Buccaneers final exhibition game. To boot, he was tasked with turning rookie quarterback Josh Freeman into the starter right away.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the Buccaneers offense went from 14th in yards in Gruden's final season to 28th the next season and slid from 18th in scoring to 29th.
It is clear that Olson isn't afraid to employ a pass-heavy attack, though part of that can be attributed to his teams playing from behind so often in 2009, 2013 and '14. The Buccaneers passed on 56.4 percent of their offensive plays in '09, while the Raiders did so 54.3 percent of the time in '13 and 65.1 in '14.
However, Olson is going to earn his money this time for how well he succeeds in helping Carr rebound from a disappointing season. Gruden made it clear that he intends to do the play-calling on offense. That will free up Olson to concentrate on getting Carr back on track.
From afar, it appears as if Carr became a tad gun shy as the season progressed. He was quick to get rid of the ball well before defenders had a chance to get near him and also had a penchant for throwing the ball up for grabs.
The good news is, those are things that will be addressed by Olson and they are issues that can be fixed with little difficulty, as long as Carr isn't afraid of taking more hits than he did this season.
There is a belief that Carr is hesitant to stand in the face of pressure on the heels of the broken leg he suffered late last season, that he would just as soon hit the deck, dump off the ball or throw it up for grabs. If that's the case, Olson's job will be more difficult than he imagines.
Its never good to continually change OC's or any coaches (or all) for that matter.
Many of the top QBs in the league have consistency and experience in the offense they are running and with those calling the plays.
That also makes it difficult to judge Carr. He seemed well on his way to possible MVP talk with Musgrave calling the plays and being in the same system for 2 years.
Now it starts again, even with the familiarity of Olson, because it is not his O, its Grudens O.
Couldn't agree more. I'm not expecting much next year, maybe the year after will be better. Of course, the O line will be getting old by then so who knows.

Registration is open for the CMIP6 Hackathon, a hands-on event including tutorials, software development, data analysis, and opportunities for collaboration centered around effective computational workflows and CMIP-related science.
The October 16-18 event will be held concurrently at two locations: the NCAR Mesa Lab in Boulder, Colorado, and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. Limited funding is available to support travel and lodging, with preference given to early-career scientists. Participants will be selected on the basis of interests, experience, and potential to contribute to collaborative initiatives.

The deadline to apply is July 31. See the NCAR CMIP6 Hackathon website for more information.
Best uses of Cheyenne login nodes
The six Cheyenne login nodes are shared by everyone in the user community, so it's important to keep in mind their intended purposes. Beyond logging in, users can run short, non-memory-intensive processes on the login nodes. These include tasks such as text editing or running small serial scripts or programs and submitting jobs to run on the compute nodes.
Memory-intensive processes that slow login node performance for all users are killed automatically and the responsible parties are notified by email. One good way to avoid this is by running an interactive job on the batch nodes when you need to do more memory-intensive work.
Learn more about using shared resources.
Scheduled Maintenance For The Week Of June 3 - 7
Tutorial for new Cheyenne and Casper users available online
Video and slides from the May 24 tutorial for Cheyenne and Casper users have been published in the CISL Course Library. The 75-minute Introduction to Cheyenne for New Users covers basic usage and typical user workflows. Topics discussed include:
Best practice: Organize files for efficiency
Keeping your files organized in a system like GLADE can greatly simplify your life and save you lots of time and trouble. Say you have 20 TB of Mount Pinatubo volcanic aerosols data. Keep those files in a subdirectory such as /glade/u/home/$USER/pinatubo rather than scattered among unrelated files or in multiple directories. Specialized trees are easier to share with other users and to transfer to other users or projects as necessary.
More about managing files and other best practices.
Scheduled Maintenance For The Week Of May 28 - 31
JupyterHub available for use in pre-production mode
CISL has released a pre-production implementation of the popular JupyterHub platform on the Cheyenne system. It is accessible at jupyterhub.ucar.edu with a valid Cheyenne user ID and YubiKey or Duo authentication.
As it is a pre-production offering, no documentation is available at this time for the installation, and CISL cannot guarantee its availability, robustness, or reliability. This JupyterHub instance will remain in a pre-production state for the lifetime of the Cheyenne cluster. A fully supported instance is expected to be available on the Cheyenne system's successor, which is scheduled to be deployed in 2021.
After coming online earlier this year, NCAR's JupyterHub portal has been leveraged by several workshops, tutorials, and users with varying degrees of success. If you plan to employ JupyterHub in a workshop or tutorial, please notify CISL at cislhelp@ucar.edu at least one week in advance so we can provide the best possible experience and minimize potential issues.
Extending Globus credential lifetime to enhance transfer workflows
When a Globus user authenticates to transfer files to or from an NCAR Campaign Storage endpoint or other endpoint in the Cheyenne/GLADE environment, the default credential lifetime is 24 hours. Users can minimize the need to authenticate that frequently – and simplify both attended and unattended Globus transfers – by extending that lifetime to up to 720 hours (30 days).
Globus file transfers describes using the web and command-line interfaces. It also links to other support resources, including:
how to extend credential lifetime,
and NCAR/CISL Globus CLI tutorial.

A major Cheyenne operating system update has been scheduled for the last week of June while routine maintenance times scheduled for June 4, July 2, and August 6 have been canceled. The Cheyenne system will be unavailable from Monday, June 24, through Monday, July 1, as CISL staff update from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) Service Pack 1 to SLES Service Pack 4. The update is required to bring the system up to current security and support levels and is expected to be the last operating system upgrade in Cheyenne's lifetime.
During the update outage all of the Cheyenne cluster will be unavailable, including the system's login nodes. The Casper cluster, GLADE file system, and HPSS will all be available through the recently deployed Casper login nodes. Users should also be aware that all cron services will be unavailable throughout the outage.
Most users' programs and executables will need to be rebuilt following the update, as many system libraries will change. Most scripts should not require modifications but users are encouraged to thoroughly test their commonly used scripts after the system is returned to service.

How an ex-death row inmate freed himself from jail
Politics January 21, 2022
By Benedicta Konadu The National Patriotic Party's National Women's Organizer Hopeful, Ellen Ama Daaku, has attributed the cause of the...
A former death row inmate in Kenya has told the BBC of his joy at having graduated with a law degree from the University of London.
William Okumu, one of several inmates or former inmates who graduated at a ceremony last Thursday at the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison in Kenya's capital Nairobi, told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme:
Quote Message: I think the whole world now knows that something good can come out of trash.
I think the whole world now knows that something good can come out of trash.
Quote Message: There is no English word that has been invented to explain how I feel."
Mr Okumu, who is in his mid-thirties and was released from jail in May, said the law degree had changed his life.
He was able to use the legal skills he gained while studying as a prisoner to defend himself and others.
He said his motivation to pursue law was the realization that his sentence had been due to his lack of a proper understanding of the law as he did not have legal representation during his original trial.
After a 2017 Supreme Court ruling that said the death penalty was "inconsistent" with Kenya's constitution, Mr Okumu, who was in jail for robbery with violence and handling stolen property, had the opportunity to represent himself in court to argue that his original sentence had been too harsh.
A judge agreed and commuted his sentence to 10 years, which he had already served.
He was able to do all of this thanks to the African Prisons Project (APP), a charity which operates in more than 15 countries on the continent, helping prisoners get access to justice.
There are more than 50,000 prisoners in Kenyan jails, the majority of them who are petty offenders living in overcrowded cells, according to the online database World Prison Brief.
Poverty and low education levels among inmates often mean that many are unable to access legal representation.
Despite the 2017 Supreme Court ruling, a provision for the death penalty still exists in Kenya's criminal law – though no death sentence has been carried out in East African nation since 1987.

Eric Decker and Prince Amukamara, #TheClosestRivals, face off at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, December 6, 2015 in East Rutherford, N.J. These guys are wrapping up a long running rivalry that includes humorous fun trash talking. They've been going at it back & forth inside Key Food stores via social media. Their battles leading up to the big game rivalry, feature household brands such as Dawn, Tide, Pantene, and more.
Here's some of my favorite clips of their ongoing rivalry.
Times got weird when Prince Amukamara dressed up as Bounty Towel man.
Prince Amukamara managed to get the last laugh when Eric Decker tried to get at him using Crest toothpaste.
I don't know about you, but this has me excited for the Giants vs Jets game this Sunday. I will be there on the sidelines watching it all go down. If you would like to follow along, I'll be using the hashtag #TheClosestRivals on twitter & instagram. Who knows, maybe you'll even see some exclusive posts from the players themselves.
This post has been sponsored by Procter and Gamble. All opinions are my own.


The researchers concluded that the results achieved by this study should prompt further studies to evaluate ghrelin as a potential therapy for emphysema. However, drugs that work in mice often do not work the same way in people. Extensive testing in patients would be required to prove the value of this therapy.
Information for this article was obtained from BioMed Central.
I would love to be a study for this new medication, it may not help me but it could possibly help someone else in the future.
That is commendable, Margaret. Unfortunately, there is no immediate testing with humans scheduled at this time that we know of, but if this developed, we would post the information here on this blog.
Thanks that would be great. As long as I wake up, I'm ready when you are.
How would one go about being in a trial for this?
Thank you for writing, Vickie. You're not the first to ask how to participate in a trial for ghrelin! While the research we reported on is encouraging, unfortunately, as stated in this article, "drugs that work in mice often do not work the same way in people." There is no immediate testing with humans scheduled at this time that we know of, but if this developed, we would post the information here on this blog.
I think that is wonderful news. How long would the studies be on humans? I would love to try it. I would try anything. This COPD is nasty.
It is indeed encouraging news, but unfortunately, as stated in this article, "drugs that work in mice often do not work the same way in people. Extensive testing in patients would be required to prove the value of this therapy."

And just like that, we reach the end of season 1 with these two episodes.
First up is The Beast From the Belly of a Boeing. This one was written by Patrick Hasburgh, and aired 3 May, 1983. A group of terrorists, led by Jackson (Andrew Robinson) and whose men include Xander Berkeley and Jesse D. Goins seize control of a Beller airlines commercial flight, and are holding it and its crew and passengers for ransom.
Hannibal (George Peppard), Face (Dirk Benedict), Murdock (Dwight Schultz) and B.A. (Mr. T) are contacted by one of the company's executives, and Hannibal hits upon the idea that he'll pose as Beller with Face taking on the role of his VP.
They offer to exchange themselves for the passengers, along with the ransom money, while Murdock, whose doctor at the V.A. hospital has declared him sane (despite a non-appearance by Billy the dog), and B.A. sneak aboard and take care of everything before they can get back in the air.
Things don't go quite as planned as Hannibal is rumbled shortly after boarding, and the plane takes off sooner than expected, plunging B.A. into a catatonic state. This leaves Murdock to lead the charge of the rescue, if he can come up with a plan, or can rouse B.A.
The final episode of the season A Nice Place to Visit, was written by Frank Lupo with an airdate of 10 May, 1983. The team is headed to a small town to attend the funeral of a former Vietnam comrade, Brenner, but the local Watkins clan, who bully and strike fear into the entire town, have declared that no one will go to the funeral (and they may have had something to do with Brenner's death).
This family stirs up trouble, and after making sure that Trish Brenner (Joanna Kerns) is alright, think about exacting a little bit of revenge.
While Amy (Melinda Culea) stays with Trish, the team aims to straighten out the baddies, but the Watkins get the drop on them, and end up driving them right our of town, literally.
Then, just like First Blood, the boys head back into town to exact their vengeance, and dole out some justice, restoring the freedom of the town, and revealing the Watkins as the cause of Brenner's death.
There are some nice moments, we get to see all four of them in their dress uniforms, each of them gets a flashback around the gravesite recalling their time with Brenner, and it allows a brief look at the horrors of the war, and of course, having them get knocked down before coming in and saving the town once and for all is classic hero stuff.
Wonder what will happen when I start Season 2?

Zombies mode is big selling point
BY BENJAMIN BLAZEVIC / VN STAFF WRITER
It has been a year since the release of a Call of Duty game, which means it's time for the next yearly entry, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War
Just like the previous one, Cold War has four game modes, including the popular Warzone.
Campaign and Multiplayer are still there, too, but this year instead of Special Ops game mode from Modern Warfare players will get to try the Zombies game mode for which the developers, Treyarch, is known.
Those who have played any of the previous Black Ops campaigns will be used to Treyarch's strange yet interesting storytelling strategy.
Just like Mason in the original Black Ops, players will be playing as a character who is also trying to solve a mystery using clues and evidence as the story progresses.
Players now can choose dialogue options that have different effects as the story progresses.
Another feature that is new for the Call of Duty series is the ability to customize the background of your character.
The only feature that really impacts gameplay is the one for personality traits, which has a limit of two.
Different traits can provide upgrades such as more health or faster speed boosts.
Besides the personality traits I don't really see the point of the customization.
It doesn't help the game feel more immersive or anything like that because you're not really creating your own character. It feels more like you're creating a name and even then characters will refer to you by your codename, Bell, no matter what you choose.
Other than choices and customization, the game story itself is about as good as Modern Warfare's (which I thought was fun) and it's worth trying if you're buying the game at full price.
It might not be winning any awards, but I imagine most will still have a lot of fun giving it a shot since the choices offer an incentive to replay certain missions.
Of course, the main reason people play Call of Duty is the multiplayer.
For those who look forward to the newest Call of Duty every year, this multiplayer will be as enjoyable as the last for you.
However, if you're waiting for a game that changes a lot of the formula, this aspect won't appeal to you.
Players can still level their weapons and level up regularly.
The game also brings back the ability to "prestige" once you reach a certain level but changes the formula a bit by resetting your level each time the game gets a new season.
This is done to give the player something else to go for once the previous season is over.
However, some might argue that the older prestige systems were more enjoyable because you never had your rank reset.
The gameplay and formula are similar to Modern Warfare, and it does not do much to change that experience which might be either exciting or boring news depending on what you're seeking.
Overall, I still had a lot of fun playing with a few of my friends, but I'd be lying if I said it felt much different.
For me, the big selling point of Cold War is the Zombies mode.
It gives you the option to create custom classes with different abilities to help your team successfully survive the large hordes that come for you in later waves.
In Zombies mode, every team starts at wave one. After defeating a certain number of zombies, players progress to the next wave.
In older zombie iterations, the only way to finish a match was to lose by letting the zombies beat you since the waves were unlimited.
In the Cold War version players are given the option to "exfil" in order to escape on a helicopter and finish the match instead of losing.
Zombies also gives players experience for their regular ranks and weapon ranks that are shared between multiplayers and zombies.
This means that if you level a weapon to 20 in Zombies, that weapon will also be level 20 in multiplayer.
The mode provides a fun challenge that becomes more satisfying once you learn how to traverse the map and survive for longer periods of time.
The only real downside to the mode is that there is currently one map, albeit the map has a lot of easter eggs and objectives players can complete for different rewards.
I enjoyed my time in the mode quite a lot and it's the main mode I play since it's the newest and the experience is shared.
Regardless, one map is probably not enough to convince someone to spend $60-plus for a game.
But it is likely that Treyarch will add more maps for players within a few months, which might make the game more appealing.
At the time of this review, many Xbox, PlayStation and PC users are reporting that the game occasionally crashes.
It might be wise to wait until an update makes it more stable if you do not already own a copy yourself.
The game can be fun, and I imagine many will have fun playing it, but nobody wants a game that can shut off your device.
Overall, the game plays exactly what you'd expect of a Call of Duty entry, but gameplay wise I feel that the previous entry was more ambitious.
Still, if Call of Duty is a series that you look forward to then you should consider giving the latest a shot once Treyarch sorts out the current glitches.

This post is about a plant which keeps flowering regularly in my garden. White, almost yellow flowers with a blood-red frilly corolla with the stamens jauntily peeking out- yes this is the Bleeding Heart Vine, Bleeding Glory Bower or Bag Flower botanical name Clerodendron thomsoniae (Family Verbenaceae).
It can be grown in pots as a bush or climber The medium should have good drainage. This is one of the rarer flowering plant which can be grown in less sunlight. It gets only an hour's direct sunlight in my garden. It flowers sporadically throughout the year with maximum blooms in summer.
The double colored flowers grow in cymes of 8-20, the outer calyx is usually white gives a striking contrast with the red corolla. Add to that the big, dark-green, heavily etched leaves and you have a real show piece.
Notice that the buds do not give a hint of the beauty within.
After the flowers mature the balloonous calyx turns darker till it is almost purple. At this time one can see a black fruit containing black seeds with an orange lining. I have yet to try growing this plant from seed- action for the next seeds which are formed!
I recently found that this plant is a close relative of the glory bower/ wild jasmine (hindi sankuppi) which is grown extensively as a hedge plant in India. I remember seeing this plant very often in my native place. It has white flowers with purple stamens protruding out.
Of course the bleeding heart is more showy and does not fail to turn heads when in bloom. Green, white and red all in one plant! Just make sure that you prevent people from plucking the flowers and making your heart bleed!
Labels: bleeding heart vine, Clerodendron sp.
Beautiful flowers. We don't have them around here. I wonder if they smell as good as they look.
No, Anita. Sadly nature does not give its all in one plant, the flower has no smell at all. It attracts lots of butterflies by its color only.
Thanks for the detail information. To your surprise your blog was used as a medium of communication with the mali!! BTW the plant is called as 'Moti Vel' in local language.
Keep posting your experiments with the greens!!
Moti vel is apt; I was searching for its local name.

FEATURE: Adelaide and the Open, a perfect fit
The Kooyonga clubhouse on Tuesday.
Adelaide's hold on the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open as host venue will have run to six years by the time the new agreement with Golf Australia, announced yesterday, is complete.
It was an arrangement that originally caused some eyebrow-raising, since it necessitated pulling the event away from Melbourne, home of the Open for seven of the previous eight years before The Grange in Adelaide hosted the 2016 tournament. But it has proven to be a delightful marriage from that first day at The Grange when thousands of spectators lined the fairways to watch the best players in the world.
The Women's Open in Adelaide just works. Just as the Vic Open has found its spiritual home at 13th Beach on the west coast of Victoria, the South Australian capital embraced the national women's championship of golf with a voracity that virtually guaranteed the event would remain here. Record crowds have come to each of the two events, and more than 32,000 at Royal Adelaide last year.
"We haven't looked at anyone else,'' said Golf Australia's chief executive Stephen Pitt at today's announcement. "We've been so happy with how the event has been run here and how it's worked and how the city and state has embraced it that we wanted to make sure we were here.''
There are mutual benefits at work here. From Golf Australia's point of view, the Open needed to find a venue that embraced it totally. From Adelaide's point of view, it wanted to showcase its great cluster of sandbelt golf courses in the western suburbs, between the ocean and city, with the potential for tourism growth.
As a golfing city, Adelaide is regarded by good judges as being second only to Melbourne among Australia's capitals. The Grange, Royal Adelaide, Kooyonga and Glenelg are just four of the world-class courses that sit in the heart of the town. But not enough people knew that fact, and it had been 10 years since a big professional tournament was held in the city.
When GA's commercial director Kent Boorman presented to Events South Australia's executive director Hitaf Rasheed four years ago, he hammered home the results of a 2014 Golf Industry Council survey that showed Adelaide as the 16th favourite of 16 regions in Australia for golf tourism. "South Australia was last,'' he said this week. "I think Tasmania was No.1. I presented it to them: 'How do you turn it around using the Open to underpin that?' Golf tourists want good climate, good things to do outside of golf, good golfing asset and value for money. If you look at what Adelaide's got here, they've got it in spades.''
When GA brought the Open to Adelaide for the first time in 2016 part of the logic was also based on the success of the 2013 Open at Royal Canberra. Starved of big-time sport, Canberra loved having the event, with crowds to match. Then the Open went back to Melbourne for two years in 2014 and 2015, but crowds were small at Royal Melbourne in the second of those years, when the Kiwi wunderkind Lydia Ko was triumphant.
The theory is that a smaller city will embrace the tournament as it should be. In Melbourne, awash with big sporting events, the Open was getting lost. Albeit that the event itself is top class, aligned with the LPGA Tour in the United States and boasting a better list of players on rankings than Australia's male tournaments can gather. In Adelaide, with fewer marquee events, it stands out.
Originally, it was a Grange thing, driven by Barry Linke, that club's general manager in the years after it hosted the Eisenhower Cup teams event in 2008 with Royal Adelaide. Linke believed Adelaide had been denied big-time golf for too long, and he hammered away through his friendship with Trevor Herden, Golf Australia's championships director, who ran that Eisenhower Cup that year.
But when an approach was made to South Australia's Sports Minister, Leon Bignell, the minister wanted it to be a broader attack, drawing in some of the other great clubs of the Adelaide sandbelt – Royal Adelaide and Kooyonga. Glenelg Golf Club was involved in the push as well, but has been advised that its land size was too small to cope with the infrastructure required.
Ultimately Linke and some others introduced Greg Norman to Bignell, and the Shark uttered: "Leon, we'd like to get a tournament here. How much money have you got?'' This is where Events South Australia, the government's tourism arm, came into play through Rasheed.
The SA Government has a Women in Sport strategy and the tournament fits with that. "That's appealing to us, but it's also appealing to have an event of this calibre,'' said Rasheed this week. "It's the best of the best, to start with, an international event with worldwide interest.''
Said Stephen Pitt: "We've got a Government that cares deeply about women's sport, and that's really important to us as we continue to grow this event.''
The Open brings $7 million in economic benefits to South Australia. After The Grange hosted in 2016, it has reached record membership levels. Moreover, the event feels like it belongs.
"It's been something we wanted to bring to South Australia for many years and it hasn't disappointed,'' said Rasheed. "There were no questions for us.''
Now it is Kooyonga's turn to step on to the stage. "It's exciting,'' said club general manager Brett Lewis, who has been with the club for three years after previously running Mt Lawley in Perth and working at The Grange before that. "When I got to the club the committee were very keen to work with Golf Australia. They felt like we hadn't as a club tried to present ourselves as somewhere that a major event could be held at.''


Have you ever been pulled under water by a breaking wave, not knowing which way is up or down. If you relax and wait for the wave to pass you will rise to the surface, only to be faced by the next wave. Sometimes life is like this, our days are so filled with turmoil and finally we get through it, only to wake to another day. But isn't life beautiful and I embrace it.
This painting shows all the turmoil of a wave crashing, yet is calming and soothing and draws you in. This artwork is very big and the colours are delightful .


Once dressed as an "Italian", the mayor caught a cab for the 3km (1.8 mile) journey to Prague Castle. He found himself in a taxi with a rigged meter and was charged the equivalent of 26 euros (£18; $34) for a trip which should normally have cost 4.3 euros. "Disguised the way I was, I was certainly expecting to be charged a higher price, but not to such an outrageous extent," Mr Bem said. Drivers caught overcharging face a fine or could lose their licence "The driver deserves to be severely punished – I am putting the matter into the hands of officials at city hall." The cabbie could face a fine of up to 33,000 euros ($43,000), he added, and is in danger of losing his permit if caught re-offending. In another taxi, Mr Bem saw his fare shoot up by 200% when he asked if he could pay in euros, rather than koruna. He said more town hall staff would be tasked with going undercover to find cab drivers who were flouting the rules. Prague taxis have regulated meters but some drivers are said to have installed devices which speed the meters up to increase the fare. A German parliamentarian complained last year she had been overcharged during a visit, while most locals use only reputable minicab operators booked over the phone. Officials fear the city's notorious cabbies could put off some of the millions of tourists who flock to Prague each year, bringing valuable income. In the meantime, Mr Bem's advice for visitors is to agree a fare before getting in the taxi.


Leicester City have released footage of one of their players pulling off a remarkable improvised goal in training.
If this acrobatic finish is anything to go by, the players preparations for the weekend's Premier League action look to be going swimmingly – but is it Jamie Vardy?
The club released the video initially claiming it was the English striker pulling off the karate-style flying kick.
However they later corrected the caption, revealing it was none other than 25-year-old goalkeeper Danny Ward.
Ward joined Leicester from Liverpool in the summer but has so far only made two appearances, in the Carabao Cup, for the Foxes.
Anyone behind Leicester number one Kasper Schmeichel Ward is always going to find it difficult to cement a regular starting place, but on this evidence could Ward be worth a punt up front?
Leicester's next outing is at home to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Vardy may not have scored the goal above, but will be looking to add to his three goals so far this season against a Clarets side that have conceded 13 times in their last three fixtures.

A short call spread obligates you to sell the stock at strike price A if the option is assigned but gives you the right to buy stock at strike price B.
A short call spread is an alternative to the short call. In addition to selling a call with strike A, you're buying the cheaper call with strike B to limit your risk if the stock goes up. But there's a tradeoff — buying the call also reduces the net credit received when running the strategy.
One advantage of this strategy is that you want both options to expire worthless. If that happens, you won't have to pay any commissions to get out of your position.
You may wish to consider ensuring that strike A is around one standard deviation out-of-the-money at initiation. That will increase your probability of success. However, the further out-of-the-money the strike price is, the lower the net credit received will be from this strategy.
NOTE: Both options have the same expiration month.
You're bearish. You may also be expecting neutral activity if strike A is out-of-the-money.
Strike A plus the net credit received when opening the position.
You want the stock price to be at or below strike A at expiration, so both options expire worthless.
Potential profit is limited to the net credit received when opening the position.
Risk is limited to the difference between strike A and strike B, minus the net credit received.
Margin requirement is the difference between the strike prices.
NOTE: The net credit received when establishing the short call spread may be applied to the initial margin requirement.
Keep in mind this requirement is on a per-unit basis. So don't forget to multiply by the total number of units when you're doing the math.
For this strategy, the net effect of time decay is somewhat positive. It will erode the value of the option you sold (good) but it will also erode the value of the option you bought (bad).
After the strategy is established, the effect of implied volatility depends on where the stock is relative to your strike prices.
If your forecast was correct and the stock price is approaching or below strike A, you want implied volatility to decrease. That's because it will decrease the value of both options, and ideally you want them to expire worthless.
If your forecast was incorrect and the stock price is approaching or above strike B, you want implied volatility to increase for two reasons. First, it will increase the value of the near-the-money option you bought faster than the in-the-money option you sold, thereby decreasing the overall value of the spread. Second, it reflects an increased probability of a price swing (which will hopefully be to the downside).
Use the Profit + Loss Calculator to establish break-even points and evaluate how your strategy might change as expiration approaches, depending on the Greeks.
Use the Technical Analysis Tool to look for bearish indicators.
Use the Probability Calculator to verify that strike A is about one standard deviation out-of-the-money.
