Climate Lobbying Overview: WindEurope appears to be actively lobbying the EU on energy and climate change policy, with strongly supportive positions. The organization has also been strongly supportive of the energy transition from fossil fuels towards renewables.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: The association's top-line messaging on climate policy is strongly positive. In February 2022, WindEurope published a joint letter stating support for the EU's Green Deal and 2050 climate neutrality target. Additionally, in a joint letter, the association advocated for policymakers to increase the ambition of climate policy to align with net zero objectives in October 2021. In the same letter, WindEurope supported more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions at COP26, and higher ambition in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations:WindEurope's overall engagement with climate-related regulations in the EU appears to be strongly positive. In its March 2021 position paper on climate neutrality, the association appeared to be supportive of an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), although it did not specify conditions for the removal of existing exemptions under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Furthermore, in a February 2021 EU consultation response, WindEurope advocated for ambitious EU ETS reforms, by supporting increasing the Linear Reduction Factor, removing free allowances, including the maritime sector, and limiting support for fossil fuel produced hydrogen. However, in a February 2022 joint letter, the association appeared to emphasize carbon leakage concerns regarding the CBAM and EU ETS reforms. WindEurope supported the EU's 2030 GHG emission reduction target of at least 55% on social media in June 2021.
WindEurope has been strongly supportive of European renewable energy and energy efficiency policy. In a November 2021 position paper, the association called for higher ambition in the EU's Renewable Energy Directive revision to not be reduced during negotiations with the European Council and Parliament, having previously in September 2021 advocated for a 2030 renewable energy target of 40% and against the inclusion of low-carbon fuels. In February 2022, WindEurope signed a joint letter to President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen calling for improved measures to support wind energy, including permitting and auction bidding improvements. Furthermore, in a March 2022 joint letter, the group supported higher targets in the Energy Performance of Building Directive. The association supported a 100% CO2 emission reduction target for light-duty vehicles by 2035 in a November 2021 position paper.
Positioning on Energy Transition: WindEurope appears to have strongly advocated for the transition of the energy mix, particularly supporting renewable electrification and renewable hydrogen. The association supported the IEA's 10-Point Plan, which included measures to transition from fossil fuels to renewables, such as accelerating renewable energy deployment, in a March 2022 joint position paper. The trade group also called for the EU to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, and introduce measures to accelerate renewable energy deployment in a separate March 2022 position paper. As part of the Electrification Alliance November 2021 position paper, WindEurope supported measures to strengthen the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, and removal fossil fuel exemptions from the EU Energy Taxation Directive. In a consultation response in June 2021, the group supported higher ambition in the EU Hydrogen and Gas Decarbonization Package, including advocating for measures to disincentivize unabated fossil gas use, and against hydrogen and fossil gas blending. Instead, support greater development of renewable hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors. WindEurope also supported the revision of the EU's TEN-E regulation, advocating for limited support for fossil gas projects in a July 2020 consultation response.

A four-game losing streak, a lack of focus and a new sense of frustration. The Jazz are at a turning point
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell stands on the court during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, in Salt Lake City. | Alex Goodlett, AP
There's no more blind optimism that things will just change for the Jazz. The players either have to make a change on the court, or the front office has to make a change in players.
Frustration has fully set in.
There was some tepid, surface-level frustration that was simmering throughout this season, but over the last week, that frustration reached a boiling point.
Losses to the Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers have taken the Jazz from a place of confidence to one of slumped shoulders and empty expressions.
In the Jazz's defense, this last week marked the first in which the team has dealt with COVID-19 this season. They had avoided players testing positive longer than any other team in the league, but once Joe Ingles became the first Jazz player of the 2021-22 season to test positive, the virus locked even more of the Jazz roster in the NBA's health and safety protocols.
The Jazz can look at the Toronto game and push it to the side. Not only were Ingles and Rudy Gobert unavailable to play, but the Jazz rested half their roster. A third-string lineup represented the Jazz and though they put up a fight, they were eventually overwhelmed by the Raptors.
But, the next day, in Indianapolis, the Jazz had a large number of their players available. Four of their five starters played, plus the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Jordan Clarkson was healthy and able. But the Jazz came away from that game disappointed.
"That was a winnable game for us," Donovan Mitchell said. "We knew where we needed to be and we just weren't there every possession. And we've got to do it."
Bojan Bogdanovic called it a "bad loss" after watching Domantas Sabonis score a career-best 42 points and the Jazz hoped they would right the ship two days later in Detroit. But that wouldn't happen.
After Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham scored a career-high 29 points and the Jazz blew a 22-point lead to one of the basement-dwelling teams in the league, Mitchell didn't have much fight left.
He shook his head, pursed his lips and covered his face with his hands. He blamed himself, first and foremost, but also said the same thing that all the Jazz players have been saying this season; consistency remains elusive and that's on every player on the roster. The Jazz have good nights and bad nights and there doesn't seem to be a connection other than lack of focus.
Sure, playing without Gobert is going to change the defense and requires more from the Jazz's perimeter players. That's what the Jazz needed against the Nuggets, in Gobert's first game missed this season due to COVID-19 and that's what they showed. But the Jazz didn't seem to have the same fight …read more

McNeill procures additional funding for Samuel Balliet Stadium improvement project
Rep. Jeanne McNeill September 19, 2022 | 1:58 PM
COPLAY, Sept. 19 – State Rep. Jeanne McNeill today announced she has secured additional funding up to $50,000 through a state grant to help the ongoing improvement project at historic Samuel Balliet Stadium in Coplay.
"Samuel Balliet Stadium continues to be one of the most recognized facilities in the baseball community in the Lehigh Valley and we need to support the efforts underway to breathe new life back into the complex, restore its legacy, and return it to its former glory as the crown jewel of baseball stadiums in the area," said McNeill, D-Lehigh. "As the stadium is getting ready to install a completely new lighting system, it is critical that the bleachers and stands will be safe for the patrons who will be attending games and events."
According to McNeill, Coplay Sports Inc. has requested additional state funding to replace broken and unsafe bleachers and for upgrades to the field. The grant will provide $20,000 to replace the bleachers and $30,000 for infield and outfield materials and equipment.
Earlier this month, McNeill helped secure over $243,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development which will be used to replace the stadium lights that were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy back in 2012.
The stadium was built in the 1940s and was named after Samuel "Sammy" Balliet, a local American Legion Baseball coach for the Coplay Athletic Association throughout the 1950s and 1960s. His teams went on to win a total of 6 PA State Championships. The stadium has been home to youth, American Legion, and adult baseball for more than half a century.


Great work Dbug, looking forward to playing with it .. these changes certainly make BASIC more palatable ..
I am the author of the label2num and I am very happy to see it included with bas2tap.
BASIC lines have always been a kind of pain. The idea was to bring some a bit of flexibility in order to code for the oric.
BomberZ is a type in program took in the book "Oric Atmos, vos programmes" by Michel BUSSAC & G. ESPECHE.
What is particularly interesting in this book is the fact, put aside that the programs are very well commented, that you will find some very nice machine code routines (vertical and horizontal hires scrolling) and how to reuse them."
BomberZ uses an horizontal scrolling machin code sub-routine.
- Label2num was quite dirty, I admit, but line numbering in BASIC has always been a pain in the a... for a lot of people : so many renumbering routines have been wrote in magazines and elsewhere are symptomatic of the problem.
- Good it was included within Bas2Tap and that you sorted it out.
- Now, I have a github : my project will be hosted forever whatever happens to myself.
- should we give it its own file extension (.lab) ?
- Do you believe if it is possible to make a new Oric ROM that understands labeled BASIC instead ?
On which side, on the Oric sedoric disks for example, or on the PC cross compilation side?
At the end, the generate file is still a 100% compatible Oric BASIC TAP file.
Everything is possible, the main difficulty is to make that fit in a 1.1 ROM without changing any of the existing addresses.
Make and Oric ROM that understand labeled BASIC, sure.
Will it be able to run normal Oric software without change, definitely an order of magnitude more difficult.
A way to do that would be to do it the SEDORIC way, by extending the language as a bank that can be loaded dynamically.
I was speaking about the PC cross compilation side, in fact.
how to distinguish in this case, an immediate instruction from a new line of program ? how to insert a line into existing code ?
I dknow doubt about the feasability.
Thank you DBug for your answers.

Edward B. Irving's Day of the Dragonking: The Last American Wizard has no dragons in it. Sorry to drop that on you. Wikipedia covers the term as the Dragon King Theory but the gist of it seems to be the same. Steve Rowan is the only one to hear and see the crash of a plane. Apparently it was a huge use of magic attempting to rip open a rift that would pour more magic into the world. It's sort of like a switch–anyone who already had powers no longer has them, and now those with real power (physically, mentally, temporally) develop magical abilities tied to tarot cards. Steve (the Fool, of course) and Ace Morningstar (his new bodyguard, also the Ace of Swords) have to save the world with the help of a magical smart phone, a sentient computer, and a few other allies. There's a reason why this is categorized as satire.
Withholding information from the audience is usually an attempt at wowing them later, but it doesn't always work out. It's fragile. It relies on an audience who's willing to stick around to find out what's really going on, and it requires that the information be enough to provoke that wow realization upon release. The longer you wait to reveal what's really going on, the more likely readers are to feel that the revelation wasn't large enough to merit that buildup. I felt the buildup undermined the reader's ability to make sense out of what's going on, and not for good reason. The author is very coy for a while and it just got a bit frustrating. I had the damndest time piecing together what was going on at first, and didn't get on board until maybe 10% of the way through the book.
I admit, I loved Ace's fight scenes. She's a great badass. The author did a pretty good job of making the people who are connected with tarot cards read like their archetypes, while allowing the major characters room to grow from that base.
I guess for a while it didn't really read like a satire to me–there are a lot of books out there that have a hyperbolic style without satirical expectations. I did enjoy Steve's wisecracks, though. They read very well as the kind of overly-jokey style used by people who are terrified and are trying desperately to dismiss that terror. Some of the writing, particularly toward the start, is a bit stiff and stilted.
Anyway, there's plenty of stuff going on. Sphinxes, aliens, ghosts, prophets, mutated mythical creatures, sentient AIs, and a genuinely smart phone. Lots of action. Steve learning to pull on his powers. Ace cutting up the bad guys. Cats and dogs, living together–sorry, got carried away there. Not my favorite book, but could be a decent read if you're in the right mindset.
I found the whole Dragon King Event thing fascinating.

02.11.2022 Lecture | Ground Zero: Sei'ichi Shirai's Temple of Atomic Catastrophes
Publié le 24 octobre 2022 – Mis à jour le 24 octobre 2022
Lecture by Thomas Daniell, Professor in Architectural History, Theory, and Criticism, Kyoto University. As part of the symposium The zero degree of architectural writing. Theorizing, drawing and debating the third term.
The word yakeato literally means "remains of a fire" (more poetically, "charred ruins" or simply "ashes"), and the yakeato generation is the name given to those Japanese who witnessed the incendiary and atomic bombings during the final months of the Second World War as children, and became adults during the deprivations of the immediate postwar period. During the postwar decades, architecture was the field with the most conflicted relationship to yakeato, given its mandate to rebuild those charred ruins and prevent their recurrence.
Japan's best-known architectural memorial to wartime destruction is Kenzo Tange's Hiroshima Peace Museum, completed in 1955, the tenth anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That same year, Kyoto-born architect Sei'ichi Shirai made a tacit counterproposal with his unbuilt Temple of Atomic Catastrophes. A mute memorial to tragedy and an optimistic symbol for the future, the conceptual and formal language of the Temple of Atomic Catastrophes continues to exert an influence the Japanese architectural community today.
This talk will examine the relationship between the writings and buildings of the yakeato generation, and the renewed interest in Shirai's work following the Fukushima nuclear meltdown that occurred in 2011.

As the end of summer nears, many parents across Maryland and Washington, D.C. are getting ready to ship their kids off to another year of school. For many children, this means walking to and from their school or a bus stop five days a week—unfortunately exposing them to a risk of injury in a pedestrian accident. School-age children are at a particularly high risk of involvement in a pedestrian accident, as their smaller bodies make them more difficult for drivers to spot and they tend to engage in less predictable behavior than adults.
Tell your children to look left, right, and then left again before crossing the street, and instruct them to keep looking until they have safely crossed.
Tell your kids to put their phones, headphones, and other devices down when they are crossing the street. Parents should be sure to drive this point home with their teenagers.
Ideally, children should walk on sidewalks or paths and only cross the street at intersections that have crosswalks and traffic signals. If there is no sidewalk, kids should walk against the flow of traffic as far to the left as possible.
While every child develops at a different pace, children under 10 should generally only cross the street with an adult.
As a parent, you should be a good role model. Put your phone and other devices away when you are walking around cars.
If you or your child has been injured in an accident that you believe was preventable, you should speak to an attorney about your options as soon as you can. You may be able to obtain compensation for your accident-related losses, including your medical expenses, lost income, lost quality of life, and physical and emotional pain and suffering. To schedule a free case evaluation with a personal injury attorney in Maryland, call our office today at (844) 632-7274 or contact us online.

Glutamine Ratio is Key Ovarian Cancer Indicator
Posted on May 10, 2014 by Paul Cacciatore
Glutamine plays an important role in cellular growth in several cancers. A Rice University-led study shows how ovarian cancer metabolism changes between early and late stages. In this study, a further link between glutamine dependency and tumor invasiveness is established in ovarian cancer.
A Rice University-led analysis of the metabolic profiles of hundreds of ovarian tumors has revealed a new test to determine whether ovarian cancer cells have the potential to metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. The study also suggests how ovarian cancer treatments can be tailored based on the metabolic profile of a particular tumor.
The research, which appears online this week in Molecular Systems Biology, was conducted at the Texas Medical Center in Houston by researchers from Rice University, the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and the Baylor College of Medicine.
Deepak Nagrath, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University
"We found a striking difference between the metabolic profiles of poorly aggressive and highly aggressive ovarian tumor cells, particularly with respect to their production and use of the amino acid glutamine," said lead researcher Deepak Nagrath Ph.D. of Rice University. "For example, we found that highly aggressive ovarian cancer cells are glutamine-dependent, and in our laboratory studies, we showed that depriving such cells of external sources of glutamine — as some experimental drugs do — was an effective way to kill late-stage cells.
"The story for poorly aggressive cells was quite different," said Nagrath, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice. "These cells use an internal metabolic pathway to produce a significant portion of the glutamine that they consume, so a different type of treatment — one aimed toward internal glutamine sources — will be needed to target cells of this type."
The research is part of a growing effort among cancer researchers worldwide to create treatments that target the altered metabolism of cancer cells. It has long been known that cancer cells adjust their metabolism in subtle ways that allow them to proliferate faster and survive better. In 1924, Otto Warburg showed that cancer cells produced far more energy from glycolysis than did normal cells. The Nobel Prize-winning discovery became known as the "Warburg effect," and researchers long believed that all cancers behaved in this way. Intense research in recent decades has revealed a more nuanced picture.
"Each type of cancer appears to have its own metabolic signature," Nagrath said. "For instance, kidney cancer does not rely on glutamine, and though breast cancer gets some of its energy from glutamine, it gets even more from glycolysis. For other cancers, including glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer, glutamine appears to be the primary energy source."
Researchers at Rice University's Laboratory for Systems Biology of Human Diseases analyzed the metabolic profiles of hundreds of ovarian tumors and discovered a new test to determine whether ovarian cancer cells have the potential to metastasize. Study co-authors include, from left, Julia Win, Stephen Wahlig, Deepak Nagrath, Hongyun Zhao, Lifeng Yang and Abhinav Achreja.
Nagrath, director of Rice University's Laboratory for Systems Biology of Human Diseases, said the new metabolic analysis indicates that ovarian cancer may be susceptible to multidrug cocktails, particularly if the amounts of the drugs can be tailored to match the metabolic profile of a patient's tumor.
The research also revealed a specific biochemical test that pathologists could use to guide such treatments. The test involves measuring the ratio between the amount of glutamine that a cell takes up from outside and the amount of glutamine it makes internally.
"This ratio proved to be a robust marker for prognosis," said University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center co-author Anil Sood, M.D., Professor of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine and co-director of the Center for RNA Interference and Non-Coding RNA. "A high ratio was directly correlated to tumor aggression and metastatic capability. Patients with this profile had the worst prognosis for survival."
The three-year study included cell culture studies at Rice as well as a detailed analysis of gene-expression profiles of more than 500 patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas and protein-expression profiles from about 200 M.D. Anderson patients.
"The enzyme glutaminase is key to glutamine uptake from outside the cell, and glutaminase is the primary target that everybody is thinking about right now in developing drugs," Nagrath said. "We found that targeting only glutaminase will miss the less aggressive ovarian cancer cells because they are at a metabolic stage where they are not yet glutamine-dependent."
Lifeng Yang, Study Lead Author & Graduate Student, Systems Biology of Human Diseases, Rice University
Rice University graduate student Lifeng Yang, lead author of the study, designed a preclinical experiment to test the feasibility of a multidrug approach, involving the use of a JAK inhibitor and a glutaminase inhibitor. This "drug cocktail" approach inhibited the early stage production of internal glutamine, while also limiting the uptake of external glutamine.
"That depleted all sources of glutamine for the cells, and we found that cell proliferation decreased significantly," Yang said.
Nagrath said the study also revealed another key finding — a direct relationship between glutamine and an ovarian cancer biomarker called "STAT3" (Signal Transducer And Activator Of Transcription 3).
"A systems-level understanding of the interactions between metabolism and signaling is vital to developing novel strategies to tackle cancer," said M.D. Anderson co-author Prahlad Ram Ph.D., Associate Professor of Systems Biology and co-director of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's Systems Biology Program. "STAT3 is the primary marker that is used today to ascertain malignancy, tumor aggression and metastasis in ovarian cancer."
Nagrath said, "The higher STAT3 is, the more aggressive the cancer. For the first time, we were able to show how glutamine regulates STAT3 expression through a well-known metabolic pathway called the TCA cycle, which is also known as the 'Krebs cycle.'"
Nagrath said the research is ongoing. Ultimately, Dr. Nagrath hopes the investigations will lead to new treatment regimens for cancer as well as a better understanding of the role of cancer-cell metabolism in metastasis and drug resistance.

" You tell anyone and the whole world will know about your family's little secret. Adam, Bree, and Chase will be taken away, Davenport will be ruined forever. Ah, and I'd hate to see your family torn apart because of your big mouth. "
~ Marcus Davenport threatening Leo.
Marcus Davenport is the main antagonist of the Disney XD series Lab Rats. Although he originally appeared to be friendly and harmless, he was revealed to actually be a ruthless bully, who's intent is kidnapping Adam, Bree and Chase for his creator, Douglas Davenport, who wants them. Marcus was ultimately betrayed by his father, who left him to die when the lair collapsed. When Marcus came back in the series finale, he sought revenge against his creator for leaving him to his death. He is Leo's archenemy.
He is portrayed by Mateus Ward.
Upon being introduced, he strikes a friendship with Chase and Adam, and forms a band with them. However, he turns on Leo and sabotages their instruments and blames Leo. Leo tries to reveal who he really is, but Marcus confesses and makes a lot of excuses, he pretends to apologize but really threatens Leo.
He later manages to trick them into inviting him to there home, where he breaks into the Lab and places a secret camera. It is revealed at the end that he really is evil and is secretly working for some mysterious figure.
A few days later he lures Adam, Bree, and Chase out to get frozen yogurt. He tries to trick them into going home with him, however Leo tries to stop him. As such Marcus hacks Donald's robot car, so it would drive nonstop into the ocean, then tricks Leo into getting in, almost killing him. He later comes to visit under the pretense of visiting to see if he's okay, but accidentally lets it slip it was him who did it. Leo tries to tell Donald, but Marcus reveals he's bionic as well, and threatens Leo, telling him if Leo lets anyone know, he will expose there secrets and thus ruin his family.
A while later, Marcus again tries to invite them over, but Leo sends them off, however Marcus telekinetically closed the doors to the building trapping Leo, and reminded him of what would happen if he revealed his secret. He then telekinetically tossed a trash can at Leo, and told him to be weary as he didn't miss twice. Leo later followed Marcus back to his home, where he found a secret lair under his house. Marcus caught him, and used a giant robot to catch him. But Leo played on his arrogance, and managed to outsmart him and grab the remote. However as he did not know how it worked, the robot went haywire. Marcus managed to destroy it with his laser vision, but Leo escaped. Marcus covered up all the evidence, so the others didn't believe Leo (except Donald, who seemed somewhat suspicious), however the mysterious figure (who was revealed to Marcus's father) angrily dressed him down, telling him he had let them get too close, and would now be handling things personally.
Marcus returns, along with his father who is revealed to be Douglas Davenport, Donald's younger brother. Together they kidnap Donald, as part of a plan to lure Adam, Bree, and Chase to them. Marcus makes the call to taunt them and let them know they have his father. Meeting together outside his house, they enter a brief battle, where Marcus proves he's more powerful than them. However Chase apparently manages to surprise him with one of his new abilities and knocks him down. However Marcus then gets up, revealing it was all part of the plan, he then secures the exits and traps them in. Marcus then goes to recharge, following Douglas trapping them all. Douglas also reveals that Marcus is an android, and thus he needs Adam, Bree and Chase, because he will burn out soon (but also warns them not to tell him as he doesn't know).
However upon Leo arriving, Douglas awakes Marcus, as he wants to personally kill Leo. Leo at first confronts him with some of Donald's weapons, but Marcus telekinetically throws the one he was holding, and destroys the others. He then blasts Leo with an electric attack and leaves him to die (Leo survived, as he was wearing one of Donald's protective shirts.) The kids manage to break free, and while Donald and Douglas fight over the remote that he can use to control Adam, Bree and Chase. They take on Marcus. However Marcus is still more powerful, and defeats Adam and throws Chase on to the platform, before revealing a giant meat grinder underneath planning to drop Chase in it. Bree takes him on and temporarily manages to fight him before being overpowered, Marcus kicks Chase into the grinder, but Adam shuts it off before he can, and thus Chase simply falls to the ground.
Realizing the plan isn't working they try to all take Marcus on at once, however Marcus lets out a powerful plasma grenade attack knocking them all down. They are distracted by Leo bursting in with Donald's exoskeleton suit, however Marcus quickly defeats him, revealing a series of sinister knives he plans to cut Leo open, stopping him once and for all. However in blind rage Adam unlocks a hidden ability, releasing a great blast of energy the causes the lab to collapse. Marcus tries on last time to stop them, but is crushed under the ceiling, his robotic hand emerging from the rubble, before sparking and stopping.
Over the next 2 seasons in 2 years, Marcus has been sparingly mentioned and referenced but never seen, until the end of the episode "Bionic Action Hero" where Douglas's former partner Giselle Vickers finds Marcus (at least his hand) under the rubble, planning to use him for her plans of improved bionic androids.
After Giselle put him back together, Marcus remembered everything that happened before his death. Marcus sought revenge on his father for leaving him to his death. When he makes his appearance he mentions about his plans to defeat the Lab Rats once and for all and help Giselle with her plans when the Lab Rats attempt to attack him he quickly takes them out with his plasma grenades. Holding his father Douglas and Uncle Donald hostage Daniel attempts to save them but gets telekinesed back and fourth due to Marcus's new abilities. Douglas tries to reason with Marcus about how they can be a family again but yet he doesn't want to but as soon as he attempts to kill them Donald points to Daniel that the only way to fight him is to touch his energy source his leg. Daniel replicates Marcus's powers and blasts Marcus to pieces. Later in the final moments Leo decides to kick/throw away Marcus's remains, but is in shock when his arch-enemy transforms into his android skin. Marcus asks Leo "Never seen a Android regenerate before?", revealing it's part of his upgrade which makes him superior to humans. Leo summons all his power for one more final battle with his arch-nemesis on a final attempt on his life, but Marcus coldly responds with his final quote "You. Will never. Defeat me!!!" But just as they are about to throw the last blast, surprisingly, his father Douglas finishes him off by blasting him ending, Marcus Davenport's life once and for all, yet Leo responds "I was gonna do that".
Marcus initially appears kind, harmless and friendly. However he shows he is really a dark character, a ruthless, manipulative liar, who will not let anything get in the way of his plans, and will stop at nothing to complete his goals. He proves to be even worse, being openly sadistic and more than willing to murder those who get in his way, even children. However he is able to create a believable facade as a good person, he only shows his true personality to Leo, as no one believes Leo. Leo is the only when who can see his true self, this is because Leo disliked him before he revealed he was evil. Marcus seems to have a complicated relationship with his father, although normally willing to argue with him, when he gets angered Marcus clearly fears him.
After Giselle rebuilt Marcus, he developed deep hatred towards his father for leaving him to his death. His hatred was so strong that he refused to see reason, even when Douglas offered for him to be his son again.

Ter'wär // the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography & climate.
In 2017, seven breweries passionate about wild ales gathered to discuss the hybrid between beer & wine, noting how our different regions (or terroir) differ based on that particular region's variants. We came up with a concept: what if we each brewed the same beer but allowed our local influences to take shape & see how our beers differ. The Terroir Project was born: an experimental crossover between wine & beer! Each of these beers are wild ales that were made as one-offs for this specific event.
West Ranch is located just 15 minutes from Barrelworks in a vineyard setting on the private Firestone family property & until now has never been open to the public. A portion of the proceeds will be benefitting the Pacific Conservatory Theatre. The Terroir Project is hosted by the folks at our wild ale facility, Barrelworks, where minds are curious & palates are thirsty .
Tickets cost $65 per person & include unlimited (but responsible) tastes of the seven different Terroir Project wild ales, guest brewery & winery libations. Enjoy a commemorative tasting glass, live music & an artisan marketplace featuring local vendors. This is an extremely limited & intimate event where we will be showcasing experimental, one-off beers that will not be available anywhere else!
Tickets on sale now via Nightout.
We have reserved a hotel block at the nearby Hampton Inn in Buellton (next to Barrelworks). Please click here for a direct reservation.
Transportation available from Barrelworks to West Ranch for $10 roundtrip per person.
This event will also feature guest breweries who are not part of the 2018 Terroir Project but who are pushing boundaries & exploring new realms of wild ales. Also in attendance are five wineries whose grapes have been used in beers before.

Q: How to keep two time variables in php from showing their total identical value? I have a leaderboard that would be capable of tracking time played on my game servers. It works 100% in its current format, however I would like to make the "days" measurement more specific, and I am unsure how. Here is the full time function that we'd be working on:
function NiceTimeFormat( $seconds ) {
    $mins = floor( $seconds / 60 );
    $hours = floor( $mins / 60 );
    $days = floor( $hours / 24 );

    if ( $days > 0 ) {
        return $days." Days";
    }

    if ( $hours > 0 ) {
        return $hours." Hours";
    }

    if ( $mins > 0 ) {
        return $mins." Mins";
    }

    return $seconds." Seconds";
}

Now what happens here is it checks the (in this case, a mysql) database for how many seconds the player has. It measures in seconds, and then goes up from there, which explains the $mins, $hours, and $days statements. The minutes and hours statements can stay just like they are right now, however I would like to add a "leftover hours" measurement to a player that has more than a day played.
Now I don't mean to be captain obvious, but of course the code won't simply do that if I just put:
    if ( $days > 0 ) {
        return "{$days} days and {$hours} hours";
    }

Here is what I end up with, but is also the exact layout I would like: http://i.imgur.com/U2fJ5V2.png The only obvious issue is of course, it's basically just stating how many days the player has, and how many hours the player has, both as the same amount of 'time' if you're following me. What I'd like to do to that is to make it so the hours is just a leftover hours. So if the player has 27 hours, it would say something like "1 days and 3 hours" instead of what I currently get with "1 days and 27 hours" which of course is not correct.
So say I'd have an $hoursleftover or $leftover statement that defined the leftover of their time in hours, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.

A: You have to make substractions. 24*60*60 = 86400
$days = floor( $seconds / 86400 );
$seconds = $seconds - $days*86400;

$hours = floor( $seconds / 3600 );
$seconds = $seconds - $hours *3600;

$mins = floor( $seconds / 60 );
$seconds = $seconds - $mins * 60;

A: What you're asking for is...modulus! The magical % I believe.
Given a set of seconds, here's what I suggest you do:
<?php
$s = '134324';
$seconds = $s%60;
$s = $s - $seconds;
$minutes = ($s%3600)/60;
$s = $s -$minutes*60;
$hours = ($s%86400)/3600;
$s = $s -$hours*3600;
$days = $s/86400;
echo $days.' Days ' .$hours.' Hours '.$minutes.' Minutes '.$seconds.' Seconds';
?>

I have set up a working example here using php's time()


"SECO SLATE" ROOF– Slate roofs are sure to cause some attention. It's hard not to notice something that is timeless, durable and extremely beautiful. The most common type (and most trendy) we install, in the Phoenix Area, aren't actually made of natural slate at all. The look is the same, and there are many options to choose from. Since these tiles are not a whole,natural material (meaning straight from the earth and cut to size), they can be manufactured for a variety of sizes, textures, patterns, thickness and color blends.
Concrete. The concrete tiles are designed to look and perform like slate, but for a fraction of the cost (and a fraction of the weight load carried by your existing structure). While there are many other choices in faux slate materials that look nice from a distance, we choose concrete tiles because of the durability they offer. To understand this further, we need to go over the pro's and con's of both, so you can see why A LOT of Homeowners are choosing concrete over natural slate.
Pros: Watertight, Fireproof, Dense, Weather-Proof. Natural slate is environmentally friendly since it doesn't emit harmful fumes and is also recyclable. Many manufacturers claim this roofing material reduces electric bill by allowing the roof to "breathe" and air to flow as it should. Natural product. High end product to match high end design. Though only guaranteed for ___ years, they have been proven to last up to 150 years.
Cons: Heavy, Expensive, and limiting. Slate tiles can vary in strength, so a branch falling on the roof, could break a tile or two. Not all tiles are made alike so matching or replacing a broken tile can sometimes be a challenge, and costly. Because of the weight, if not properly installed by an experienced professional, the dependability of this installation can vary and cause problems down the road. If choosing a slate roof, you will need to be sure the company installing this has a lot of experience and understands the weight load your roof can handle.
Pros: Cost much less, and also weighs less than Slate Tiles. When properly installed by an experienced roofing contractor; concrete tiles are Waterproof, Weatherproof, Fireproof, and come in colors that reflect light to keep energy costs down. They can also be made to look like many different materials such as shaker and wood. Consistent in size, color and thickness, easy to replace broken tiles. A way to get the look you want, for a price that's affordable AND that performs for decades like natural Slate.
Cons: Weight load is still heavy, so a weigh load assessment must be done to determine if your roof may need more support to hold this type of roof. If not installed by experience roofing contractor, these heavy tiles can break free and fall over time.
The best part about A SECO Slate roof, is that you can rest knowing it's not just the roof that is protecting your investment, it's supported by our transferable*, lifetime guarantee.
Call us today to book an assessment so we can come take a look at the type of roof you currently have and further discuss some options with you. Our estimates are complimentary, and a full report is included with every inspection.

Q: Windows Explorer replacement which allows creating custom file properties I'm looking for a Windows Explorer replacement that has the following feature in some way or another:
The ability to create custom properties for files.
by saying properties, I refer to fields like "Size" or "Date Modified" which all files have or "Date Picture Taken" which jpeg has.
I want to be able to take an arbitrarby file, give it a new property, assign a value to it and later be able to sort or search files according to their properties.
Of course, I'm not suggesting to modify the files in any way - I'm aware of the fact that a metadata file should be automatically created by the program to store the info.
The reason I came up with this need is the discomfort of typing these properties in the filename itself.

A: Well, after some search I've found a way to add new columns to windows explorer.
The following link has helped me: (I wanted to post more links but since I'm new user it won't let me)

This volume also will feature an in-depth interview with the author.
In the opening pages of When Women Were Birds, Terry Tempest Williams tells us what led her to write this book. When she was in her early 30s, her mother, age fifty-four, died of cancer. Shortly before her death, she told Terry: "I am leaving you all my journals . . . But you must promise me that you will not look at them until after I am gone." (It was a tradition in the Mormon faith for women to keep journals documenting their lives in the Mormon community.) A month after her mother died, Terry found the journals, shelves and shelves of them, all blank. Terry did not write about her inheritance of her mother's blank journals and what they might signify at that time, but came back to them over twenty years later when she was fifty-four herself, the same age her mother was when she died.
When Women Were Birds contains fifty-four evocative essays by Terry Tempest Williams on "What is Voice?" where she grapples with the meaning behind her mother's decision to leave her journals blank. She uses the image of the blank journals to explore complex and often contradictory subjects that she relates to issues of women expressing themselves (or not): Story, Secrets, Survival, Silence, Solitude, Suffering, Sovereignty, Speaking Up, Sexuality, Shadow.
When Women Were Birds is filled with quotes that could each alone provide the basis for an article:
· "I am writing the creation story of my own voice through the blank pages my mother has bequeathed to me."
· "The first voice I heard belonged to my mother."
· "What is the gesture of a woman's hand covering her mouth?"
· "When one woman doesn't speak, other women get hurt."
· "I am afraid of silence. Silence creates a pathway to peace through pain, the pain of a distracted and frantic mind before it becomes still."

Paolo D'Iorio has a tenured position at the CNRS / ENS, Paris. His interests include collaborative networked research, digital libraries and archives, Open Source in the humanities, and the semantic web.
Philosopher by training (PhD at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Habilitation a Diriger des Recherches at the University of Nice), since 1998 Paolo has had a tenured position at the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (CNRS / ENS, Paris). In the last years he has been director of the HyperNietzsche project at the University of Munich as Sofja Kovaleswkaja prize-winner of the Humboldt foundation and is currently associate researcher at the Maison Francaise d'Oxford. He is Director of two major European research projects whose common goal is to establish a reliable, efficient and sustainable infrastructure for humanities scholarship on the Internet: the COST Action Open Scholarly Communities on the Web, and the eContentplus project called Discovery (Digital semantic corpora for virtual research in philosophy).
He works in two distinct fields: (1) the study of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy using methods of genetic criticism (critique genetique); (2) an enquiry into the conditions necessary for conducting scholarship on the Web, accompanied by the design and implementation of digital infrastructures for scholarship in the Humanities.
(1) His work on Nietzsche includes publications on the concept of eternal return in both its philosophical and cosmological aspects, on the significance of pre-Platonic philosophy for Nietzsche's thought, and on the textual history, interpretation, and impact of the posthumously published and unauthorized book 'The Will to Power'.
(2) While originally engaging with digital technology for the purpose of enhancing the study of manuscripts and realising new form of critical editions, his work in this area now applies to many aspects of humanities scholarship. He has been particularly interested – both on a theoretical level and on a practical level – in investigating how scholarly communities are influenced and may be transformed by new technological developments and how the web must be transformed in order to support academic research.
The dilemmas of digitization. Thinking about the past, planning the future: how to digitize the humanities?
While digitization has become commonplace, and the research community enjoys its many benefits, there remains work to be done to ensure that it is done efficiently, in an internationally coordinated way.

Carina and I weren't able to take many pictures before the sun went down, but I figured I would go ahead and post the good (and silly) ones instead of trying to shoot this outfit again, mostly because it's been so long since I've blogged! Anyway, I'm in love with the embroidered t-shirt trend that's been floating around lately, and I got so excited when I found this one at an outlet store because I was devastated that this Sincerely Jules tee was sold out. Also, it just so happened to be a perfect match for my heart-shaped sunglasses.
I've been living on campus at Agnes Scott College for about a week now, and, aside from the bug bites all over my legs, it's wonderful! I've already made so many friends and connections with people who can aid me in designing my major. I'm in the process of applying for a Global Fashion course that includes a trip to Paris and Milan, which would be an absolute dream, so keep your fingers crossed.

March ended with a bad week for the oil sands. On the Monday (March 25), the week began with oil sands giant Suncor spilling 2,200 barrels (349,000 litres) of potentially toxic wastewater into the Athabasca River. A broken pipe spewed "process-affected water" for 10 hours before the pipe was finally sealed. The Athabasca River is an important source of drinking water for animals and downstream communities such as Fort Chipewyan.
Wednesday (March 27) saw a CP Railway train derailment lose over 55,000 litres of heavy crude in Western Montana. The freezing temperatures slowed the cleanup efforts while the crude "thickened into a heavy tar-like consistency".
The worst spill came on Friday (March 29) as an Exxon pipeline burst in Arkansas, gushing about 10,000 barrels (1.59 million litres) of diluted bitumen coming from the Alberta tar sands. The spill was captured in an amateur video that went viral, showing the oil flooding the neighbourhood. It's well worth watching while remembering the painfully similar spill that occurred closer to home in Burnaby when Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline leaked 250,000 litres into the community.
The recent oil accidents oblige us to take stock and weigh the risks and rewards of the two pipeline proposals in B.C. The Northern Gateway pipeline (NGP) proposal by Enbridge seeks to transport 525,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day from Alberta to Kitimat, where it will be loaded onto oil tankers headed for Asian markets. NGP has received massive opposition from academics, local communities, First Nations, and environmental groups. The criticism is well justified. Enbridge has a shoddy track record for safety. It has had four pipeline leaks in the last two months alone, prompting an NEB engineering assessment. The high-profile spill in Michigan nearly three years ago is still not fully cleaned up after an Enbridge pipeline ruptured, spilling over 3.8 million litres into the Kalamazoo River. At a cost of over $800 million, it is the most expensive pipeline spill in U.S. history, mostly due to the fact that no one had any experience cleaning up diluted bitumen.
It turns out, diluted bitumen is a completely different animal than conventional oil, and cleanup is much more difficult. In order to transport bitumen, a semi-solid tarlike substance extracted in Alberta, it needs to be diluted with heavy chemicals and synthetic crude. Unexpectedly, the diluted bitumen separated after spilling into the Kalamazoo River, with the heavier bitumen component sinking to the bottom of the river and complicating the cleanup efforts.
The other pipeline proposal will build a second pipeline along the existing Trans Mountain pipeline route from Alberta to Burnaby. It will increase pipeline capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day, all to be loaded onto large oil tankers to be shipped out of the Burrard Inlet. Tanker traffic would increase from 80 to over 400 per year. Although our provincial government hasn't completed its own risk assessment, the State of Washington took it upon themselves to determine the risk of a major tanker spill. Their study indicated potential risk of 165,000 jobs and $10.8 billion in economic impacts for Washington state alone. That's similar to the $9.6-billion estimate from UBC for cleanup costs if a major tanker spill occurred in northern B.C.
There is also the question of liability. The pipeline operator's liability ends after the oil is transferred to the tanker. If a tanker spill occurs, B.C. would look to the shipping company, likely headquartered in a distant country with international law limiting liability to $1.3 billion. Major spills would cost much more than that, putting taxpayers at significant risk.
Well, is the risk worth it? Both pipelines will create thousands of short-term jobs during the construction process. However, the long-term numbers are really what matter. The Enbridge pipeline is expected to only create about 104 permanent long-term jobs (not all in B.C.). The Trans Mountain pipeline, even less, about 35 permanent jobs. For additional tax revenues, the provincial government can expect about $40 million per year from Enbridge and about $10 million annually from Trans Mountain.
A total of $50 million in tax revenues and 139 long-term jobs are nearly insignificant. In comparison, the tourism and fishing industries threatened by an oil spill are worth billions to B.C.'s economy. It's no surprise there is such great opposition to the pipelines. As the recent oil accidents demonstrate, you simply cannot transport oil safely. It's not a matter of "if" an oil spill but a matter of "when" and how severe. The economics of these pipelines simply do not make sense for B.C. and ought to be rejected. It's likely this will be an election issue for many British Columbians, and all parties have a responsibility to put forth a clear position on both pipelines.
Barinder Hans is the B.C. Green candidate for Vancouver-Mount Pleasant.
It is very informing. I had no idea that the whole deal would create so few permanent jobs! Thanks Barinder!
Thank you a smart well informed article. Im thinking that if it is pushed through Harper is going to retire to private life and maybe work for those corporations that he helped.
How does a Green candidate talk for so long about oil extraction without mentioning Global Warming even once? That has much bigger consequences than spills.
yep, i'd trust the computer fix-it guys' numbers. then again, i don't spend nearly enough time under secretaries' desks to know the whole picture.
Just because this guy is a Green Candidate, does not make his information wrong.I do not support the greens because they tend to be vague on other issues, but are well informed about environmental issues.
These pipelines may be needed for economic reasons in Alberta or even Ontario, but from a BC perspective they are just to much risk for the reward. even if the reward was ten times, it would still be not worth the risks.
If Alberta had a Royalty structure like that of Norway or NewFoundLand they would not be in such a mess.
With strong Environmental Controls Norway both Economically & Environmentally benefits it's people NOT Foreign & Sovereign Communist China owned Oil Corporations.
Oh they are State owned shock horror the profits from all that Oil goes wait for it to the Citizens of their Country not Foreign Multi-National Oil Corporations owned by tax dodging billionaires.
Wow what a concept for the benefit of the people must be a foreign concept to Neo Cons in Alberta.
I also wonder about the project from a strategic perspective.
Isn't Canada still a major importer of oil? Why would we export a single drop of it?
@Sami - Thanks. I was a bit shocked myself. There is a lot of confusion out there because the pipeline companies use a variety of large-sounding numbers and sometimes define labour in "man-years."
@shillsami - These numbers are from Enbridge / Kinder Morgan's own materials.
@Alex T - I completely agree that Climate Change is the giant in the room. It's an issue near to my heart. But I also wanted to take an honest look at the economic argument with a risk/reward analysis. Once we add in the costs of climate change adaptation and mitigation, the proposition for pipelines and oil sands extraction is even more costly.

The Berne Trial (also known under the name of "Zionistenprozess") is a famous trial held in Berne, Switzerland between 1933 and 1935, under an obscenity-related statute ("Art.14 des Bernischen Gesetzes über das Lichtspielwesen und Massnahmen gegen Schundliteratur 1916"). The trial with its witnesses and supposed experts on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion caused an international sensation.
The plaintiffs, the Schweizerischer Israelitischer Gemeindebund (SIG) and the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern, sued the "Bund Nationalsozialistischer Eidgenossen" BNSE (Swiss president: Theodor Fischer at Zurich) which distributed anti-Judaistic pamphlets during a meeting of June 13, 1933 organized by the National Front and the Heimatwehr in the Casino of Berne (with former chief of the Swiss General Staff and Frontist Emil Sonderegger as main speaker). The National Front distributed a print "Die zionistischen Protokolle, 13. Aufl. 1933"  edited and introduced by the German anti-Judaistic writer Theodor Fritsch. Silvio Schnell, the young responsible for distribution of publications of the National Front was sued because he sold the print during the meeting. Theodor Fischer (BNSE) was sued as author of the pamphlet and editor of the journal "Der Eidgenosse" (Swiss Confederate) which published an offensive anti-Judaistic article written by Alberto Meyer, Zurich, in the manner of Julius Streicher.
Frontist propaganda declared the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as "echt (authentic)", i.e. as a secret program produced by Jewry in order to gain worldwide political power and control by every possible means (e.g. supporting corrupt politicians, bombing in underground-stations, economic measures etc.). Fritsch claimed in his incriminated edition that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were produced during the First Zionist Congress at Basel (1897) and cited Rabbi Marcus Ehrenpreis (1869–1951)from Stockholm Synagogue, who participated at the Basel Congress 1897, in a misleading manner as a pretended proof for Jewish authorship in the foreword of his incriminated print.
The trial soon focussed on the plagiarism and forgery of the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In the Main Session of 1934 witnesses were cited: Participants of the First Zionist Congress at Basel (1897), among them Rabbi M. Ehrenpreis; then several Russian witnesses living in exile (mainly at Paris) to tell the judge about a possible Russian origin of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (as a forgery by the Tsarist police to promote anti-Judaistic feelings during the time of Pogroms). The alleged link between Freemasonry and Jews was also a point of interest and masonic witnesses were cited. The plaintiffs nominated these witnesses and paid a considerable amount to the Court to make the appearance of those important eye-witnesses possible, among them also Chaim Weizmann, the future first president of the state of Israel. The only witness nominated by the defendants was Alfred Zander, Zurich, who wrote some articles on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the newspaper "Der eiserne Besen" (Rod of Iron) of the National Front.
Was the Protocols of the Elders of Zion a forgery?
If it was, what was its source?
Do the Protocols fall under the term Schundliteratur?
Further questions to be answered by the experts were formulated by the plaintiffs. During this session no further witnesses were heard.
While the experts Arthur Baumgarten and C. A. Loosli declared the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a plagiarism and a forgery produced by helpers of the tsarist Russian Okhrana, anti-Judaistic expert Ulrich Fleischhauer claimed that they were composed by the Jewish author Ahad Haam and passed at a secret meeting of Bnai Brith which pretendedly took place in 1897 during the first Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland.
Eventually the defendants Theodor Fischer and Silvio Schnell were sentenced by judge Walter Meyer in his verdict, while three other defendants were acquitted. The penalty was a quite symbolic fine: Fr. 50 (Fischer) and Fr. 20 (Schnell). However the defendants found guilty would have to pay a larger sum of the costs of the trial and some of the costs of the plaintiffs. Commenting on his verdict in the court, judge Walter Meyer said he was convinced by his evaluation of the testimonies of the witnesses and the statements of the experts that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are a forgery and "Schundliteratur" that might instigate crimes by agitation against a minority.
Theodor Fischer himself and the lawyer of Silvio Schnell (Hans Ruef, Berne) immediately appealed to the Berner Obergericht which acquitted both defendants in 1937 on purely formal legal grounds, arguing that the term "Schundliteratur" of the Bernese Law is not applicable to "political publications" but only to "immoral (obscene) publications". The Berner Obergericht refused the obligation of the private plaintiffs to pay the costs of defence of the acquitted defendants explaining that "the one who circulates such sort of most vulgar instigating articles has to pay himself the costs resulting from them." Fischer had to pay Fr. 100 to the state fees of the trial (Fr. 28'000, paid by the Canton of Berne).
The defendants were financed in their defense by National Socialist agents working for the German government, including anti-Jewish activist and Welt-Dienst / World-Service / Service Mondial publisher Ulrich Fleischhauer, the expert appointed by the defendants. The plaintiffs, the Schweizerische Israelitische Gemeindebund/Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG) and the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern, were represented by the Bernese lawyers Hans Matti and Georges Brunschvig (helped by Emil Raas). The plaintiffs financed a larger part of the costs of the citation of witnesses and of the pay of the experts C. A. Loosli and A. Baumgarten.
The various findings of the court, regarding the series of events leading to the publication of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, are now regarded as a treasure trove of archival material for scholars and historians.
Of special interest are the so-called Russian Documents transmitted to the expert C. A. Loosli with permission of the Soviet government by the librarian Tager in Moscow for personal use only, copies of authentic material from the tsarist administration, especially on the Russian Okhrana and on the Russian Jews. Boris Lifschitz, a Swiss lawyer in Berne of Russian origin speaking both Russian and German, had contacts to the Soviet administration and played an important role in procuring the Russian documents and contacting various Russian witnesses to appear at the court in 1934 (who were all opposed to Bolshevism).

"Play with your childhood fears."
In January, I suggested that the then latest trailer for Tarsier Studios' Little Nightmares was its scariest yet. Demonstrating nine different ways micro protagonist Six could meet her demise, I stand by that claim however now think the puzzle-platformer's launch trailer is scarier still.
Having read Samuel's review ahead of the game's April 28 release date, the following short plays directly into the childhood fear elements of horror that Sam found so unsettling. It's of little surprise, then, that Little Nightmares champions the axiom "Play with your childhood fears" and that its launch trailer is also named 'Childhood Fears'.
From that I get the sense that it's what we can't see that's more terrifying than what we actually can.
At EGX Rezzed earlier this year, I took Little Nightmares for a brief but enjoyable spin. The ways in which it combines its environmental puzzles with flash moments of horror was genuinely scary—even beyond its terse jump scares—and I'm now looking forward to trying out the full experience.
What actually is the Maw? Why is a nine-year old trapped there? Who is that mysterious woman at the trailer's end? I've loads of questions—all of which I'll get the chance to answer on Friday, when Little Nightmares releases in full.
