Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about how DoView has been designed and is being developed.
• What are the needs DoView is trying to meet?
DoView is outcomes modeling (program logic modeling) and evaluation software specifically designed for evaluators and anyone working with outcomes and strategic planning. It meets a need not catered for in other software by providing an affordable, easily used, general purpose 'outcomes processor' which lets you work in a flexible way when thinking about outcomes, evaluation, strategic planning and contracting. We intensively analyzed what's needed for drawing outcomes logic models (outcomes models setting out all of the higher-level outcomes being sought and the lower-level steps needed to achieve them). Traditionally, building outcomes models has been a four stage process: drawing the model in a meeting using a white board or yellow stickies; taking the results away and actually building the logic model; taking a printed version back to a subsequent meeting for amendment; and then the going away and amending it again. We identified that a piece of software which would help users build models in real-time in meetings would be a significant advance. Hence DoView is designed explicitly to be used in meetings. This requires a very simple command set; a limited number of formating options (so you don't have to make formating decisions on your feet); large icons so that the audience gets a sense of what you're doing when you interact with the software; and a way of structuring your model so that it can be read and amended when dataprojected. Not only is building and amending a model in real-time in a meeting more efficient (you can, of course always tidy it up later) but it also creates much more of a sense of ownership of the model by the group developing it. The model is no longer something which is created by you separately and 'brought back' to the group. Just as importantly, if you use the model for additional purposes (e.g. evaluation planning and implementation, by putting indicators and evaluation questions onto the model) it becomes a 'living plan' a dataprojected version of which can be used and updated in every evaluation or stakeholder meeting.
In addition to designing DoView for use in real-time in meetings, we identified the following additional needs for models built in DoView which are discussed in more detail later on this page: the software should create an underlying model not just a drawing; models should be able to be as large as you like; all key elements of the model need to able to be captured (e.g. not just those links you can fit tidily on a page); ultimately, all key elements of the model need to be able to be visualized using a standard set of formating conventions; it needs to be portable across different fomats (e.g. screen, dataprojected, paper, and HTML on the web); the model should not be locked into a proprietary format and therefore it should be able to be saved in an 'open' format like XML so that so that in the future you can visualized or analyze your DoView models in different, yet to be built, software systems built by others.
Finally, we knew that because users don't have the time to learn complex drawing or modeling software, DoView had to be exceptionally easy to learn and use.
• Why does DoView have a compact format which breaks outcomes logic models up into smaller diagrams (slices) which you jump between?
Our analysis identified that the optimal way of using outcomes models is to have them at the heart of all strategic planning, evaluation planning and contracting and delegation discussions. For this to happen, it is essential that a visualized model is portable across all of the different different formats (i.e. your screen, colleagues screens, when dataprojected, when printed, and when presented as HTML on the web). The traditional size of logic models has been dictated by a single traditional format (the printed page - either letter/A4 or ledger/A3). This limits the usefulness of such models when used in the other formats which are now becoming the dominant way in which outcomes models are worked with (rather than just viewed). In particular, the standard letter (A4) size has too much information on it when dataprojected at 1024 X 768 resolution on a normal sized projector screen in a medium sized meeting room. This results in the often heard comment: 'you won't be able to read the text in this model, but. . .' Being unable to read the text in the outcomes model means that a group cannot work with it in real-time and therefore it cannot perform its function of being right at the heart of the planning, evaluation and contracting process. Using a DoView model you have built in its compact format means that the outcomes model can always be viewed in different formats and it can then take its rightful place at the centre of planning, evaluation and contracting.
• Do I have to use the compact format in DoView?
No, you can also build models which are a rang of different sizes, right up to very large poster sizes. This allows you to build models which are optimized for printing out if you wish rather than just for dataprojecting. The suggested way of building models in DoView is to first build them in a compact format (using the DoView default 1 x 1 compact pages). You build your basic model out of compact diagrams and get all of the advantages of portability across formats. You then use DoView's unique 'clone' ('live copy') function to clone (create 'live copies') of all the steps and outcomes from your compact diagrams and arrange them on what every larger pages suit you, e.g. on several ledger/A3 sized pages (2 x 2 pages in DoView - meaning they can take 2 x 2 = 4 compact 1 x 1 pages), or on larger poster sizes pages. This gives you the best of both worlds. For instance, participants in a meeting can be given a printed ledger/A3 clone version of the model so they can overview it. At the same time, they can be working with the dataprojected compact version of the model amending the model in real-time. When some of the details of a step or outcome are changed on the compact version, because they are clones, they will also automatically be updated on the ledger/A3 version which can then be printed out later as an updated overview of the model.
• Why can't I currently select lots of different fonts and colors in DoView like I can in some drawing software?
In addition to the reason noted above, that options have been kept as simple as possible so you can confidently use DoView in front of an audience, there are two other important reasons. The first, as also discussed above, is to make sure that the fonts and colors will be portable across different modalities (e.g. a font which can be seen on a paper version may not be readable when viewed on a dataprojector in a medium sized room; dark step colors may work when dataprojected but when printed may obscure step names). We don't want users to have to be designers as the same time, we know that we don't want to have to make these kinds of decisions on the fly, we want them hard-wired into the software so we don't make formating mistakes we later regret when we try to use the model in a different format.
Second, DoView is modeling rather than drawing software. As we develop it further we are progressively using all of the available formating palette (font, colour, texture, border width) to visualize different key aspects of outcomes models. This means that we have to make sure that different parts of the formating palette work with each other in any one model to clearly communicate the major elements in the model using a common set of visual symbols. If there is some aspect of an outcomes logic model you want to communicate with, say colored lines, work out what is the underlying element of the model you're trying to communicate and let us know (use the comment form on the Support page). Chances are we're working on modeling that element in a future update to DoView and we may be able to change its priority on the development list or, if not, we would really like to hear about it so that we can consider putting it on our development list.
• Why is the distinction between DoView being modeling rather than drawing software important?
Drawing software lets you draw diagrams which contain visual objects just placed on the surface of the diagram. In contrast, DoView builds an underlying model of the important elements and then visualizes it for you. From your point of view this happens automatically when you draw your DoView model so there's not really any difference in ease of use, however once you've developed your DoView model it has much more potential than a simple drawn diagram. For instance, often in simple drawn models created by standard drawing software, information is left out because it cannot be fitted tidily onto the drawn diagram. For instance, causal links which would look too messy on the drawn diagram are dropped out, or notes about the evidence supporting links between steps and outcomes cannot be easily included because there is space for them. Such simple drawings are an incomplete representation of the underlying model and you have lost data (e.g. about the existance of the causal link) which should have been recorded in the model. The power of the modeling approach can be seen in DoView when you make links between steps within a model without having to draw them as lines and arrows at that stage and then later 'turn them on' and they will all appear as line and arrow links.
The power of DoView building an underlying model as it visualizes it for you is that firstly you have documented all, not just part of your model, and secondly it opens up the possibility that different visualizations and presentations of the data in the model can be generated from the model in a way that is not possible if using just a simple drawn logic model. DoView is not designed to replace more complex mathematically-based modeling and visualization software. It is designed to provide a model-based approach, which sits between the current too limited basic drawn models and more complex mathematically based models.
• What are the consequences of breaking up DoView models into compact diagrams?
Breaking DoView models up into compact diagrams has three major advantages and one disadvantage. The first advantage is that, as discussed above, it allows DoView models to be portable across different formats (screen, datashow, paper, web). Second, in combination with DoView's support for quick jumping (with DoView page-jump internal hyperlinks) between diagrams, it allow you to break out of the constraint of your models being just a single printed page. DoView models can be very large indeed. Users are currently working with models of up to 30 interconnected diagrams which they can quickly navigate through using DoView. And, of course, because of the way DoView has been designed, people can always see the content on the screen when the model is dataprojected.
The third advantage is that users are finding that breaking models up into compact diagrams is making model drawing more efficient. Dividing models into parts is a form of modularization which in the past has proven to increase efficiency in areas as diverse as manufacturing to software design. Typically, DoView steps and outcomes are grouped on compact pages into conceptually related groups, for instance in many models we are seeing individual compact pages emerging for national, regional, organizational and individual levels. Having the compact diagrams based on such levels makes them much easier for the reader to grasp than a single large diagram with different conceptual levels intermingled. This modular approach also makes it much easier to 'borrow' and amend diagrams from models which have been developed by yourself or others in the past.
For instance, if you're currently building a model for a program and working on the organizational level compact diagram within the model you can quickly look at the organization level diagrams from a number of other models, paste the one you want into DoView and start amending it to fit your current program. We're developing a set of outcomes models at OutcomesModels.org which anyone can freely use and hope that others will contribute their models to this collection.
There is only one downside to modularizing outcomes models and that is that it makes them harder to overview. At the moment in DoView you can develop summary higher-level models which you drill-down beneath to reveal further detail. You can also 'clone' (make 'live copies' of) your models onto larger poster-sized pages which you can print out.
We've just set up OutcomesModels.org and there are currently just a few simple outcomes models up on that site at the moment. The idea is for it to become a repository of outcomes models which anyone can borrow (whether they are working commercially or non-commercially) to help them build their own outcomes models. The vision is then that they will put the models they have built back up on OutcomesModels.org for others to freely use so that the sector can progressively build and share better and better models. The models on OutcomesModels.org are covered by a Creative Commons copyright which means that the models are free for use in almost all circumstances (check more details here).


This un-aged expression from the Highlands is one of its kind. Herbaceous and lime notes penetrate the senses. We cannot speak higher of this tequila.
Calle 23 is the product of a love-triangle between a French woman, microbiology, and some very lucky agave hearts. Sophie Decobecq brought her years of experience in yeast and microbiology to the arts of fermentation and distillation to make one of the most delicious tequilas on the market today. This "blanco" is perhaps the best of the expressions Calle offers as it preserves the life and personality of the agave itself–features often lost in even relatively short barrel aging. The palate is round and warm with soft minerals and finishes with tequila's prized notes of citrus and pepper. Calle is easy sipping on its own, but also makes killer margaritas and (for the slightly more ambitious) tequila negronis…..

Anti Bullying and the Power of Self-Acceptance

Intro to an Anti Bullying Environment
Bullying is a problem in schools across the nation. According to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, one in every five students report being bullied in some form. Bullying affects, not only the victim, but also the bully. Both victims of bullying and bullies are at increased risk for a host of social, academic, and mental health problems. What's more, victims of bullying who blame themselves—feel that the bullying was warranted—are more likely to experience risks, such as depression, maladjustment, and a continued cycle of bullying. An anti-bullying environment starts with every aspect of the student's life, including school, home, and community involvement.
Schools, however, can take action to make a difference and decrease instances of bullying. When students who are bullied have access to supportive adults or peers, there are positive outcomes. Teachers and faculty who take the time to listen to a student who has been bullied and who follow up with them to ensure that the bullying has stopped make a positive difference. In addition, implementing a bullying prevention program in your school can decrease bullying incidents by up to 25%. Bullying prevention programs are especially effective when implemented as part of a larger school-wide effort to improve school climate and behavior. For example, the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports framework (PBIS) is a school-wide framework for improving positive behaviors. PBIS recommends that bullying be targeted through teaching all students and faculty a common language and strategy for preventing bullying behavior, but also strategies for intervening and responding to bullying when it does occur.
Something else that schools can do to support students is work with them to foster a sense of self-acceptance, or a positive outlook and acceptance of oneself, no matter what is going on externally. When students accept themselves, and all of their strengths and weaknesses, they are much less likely to engage in bullying behaviors, as well as less likely to be a victim of bullying. When our students have a strong sense of self-acceptance, it means that they are okay with who they are, flaws and all, and they do not feel the need to be like someone else.
One way to foster self-acceptance in students is to engage them in reflection on their own strengths and weaknesses—their own thoughts, attitudes, character. What makes each student unique? This self-reflection can then be followed by working with students to develop their own unique talents and gifts. For example, as an adolescent, one of our colleagues had to accept that she did not have the athletic ability or coordination to join the cheerleading squad with her best friend. However, she did have talent as a musician. She had to accept her own strengths and weaknesses and work to develop her unique talents. When she let go of the desire to be a cheerleader, she found her place in the marching band, and eventually became the drum major!
Students need a school environment that supports accepting others, which is a focus of many anti-bullying and school climate programs. However, students also need support to foster self-acceptance. As educators, we can work with students to reflect on their unique strengths and how they can develop those strengths over time. Part of setting this vision is taking stock of personal strengths.
Imagine if you spent time working with students to recognize their unique strengths and how those will carry them through to college and careers? When students have a sense of self-worth, they will be less likely to bully others, and less likely to feel the effects of bullying behaviors. So, as you implement programs to target the outward displays of bullying, simultaneously work to foster the strength to combat bullying from within.

Changes Coming to IMSA Safety Team
The merger between GRAND-AM and the American Le Mans Series has resulted in numerous changes, and in some cases, compromises, to the way each series had previously operated individually. One of the hot topics over last weekend's ALMS-ending Petit Le Mans was the future of IMSA's traveling safety team, which has played an integral part of the series since its inception in 1999. However, according to IMSA Safety Team Coordinator John Zilles, his crew was informed last week that changes are on the horizon for 2014, as the sanctioning body falls under the NASCAR umbrella. Zilles indicated that...

American Airlines on Final Approach to ADS-B In Certification, Operation

American Airlines is in the final stages of obtaining certification on the use of automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) In, a cornerstone technology of the FAA's ongoing NextGen airspace system modernization program, after completing recent ground and flight tests with a retrofitted system capable of enabling its use in U.S. airspace.
Over the next three to four years, American will be equipping a fleet of more than 300 Airbus A321 aircraft with SafeRoute+, a line of commercial air transportation flight deck displays designed to support ADS-B In. American and L3Harris are currently awaiting a final technical standard order (TSO) certification from the FAA, which will allow the installations of SafeRoute+ and other components required to enable ADS-B In applications.
These applications include cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) assisted visual separation (CAVS) and an initial version of interval management (IM), which is an ADS-B In application that gives pilots more control over the spacing of their aircraft relative to other ADS-B equipped aircraft arriving at busy airports.

During separate flight tests on September 15 and October 27, the ACSS engineering team—ACSS is a joint venture between L3Harris and Thales—and the FAA participated in flight testing of SafeRoute+ on an American Airlines A321 aircraft. The testing is part of ADS-B In Retrofit Spacing Evaluation (AIRS) project, that first began in July 2016. SafeRoute+ is described by ACSS as an ADS-B In retrofit display for commercial airliners, that uses traffic collision avoidance system computers to host ADS-B In applications and populate them on navigation displays.
ACSS had previously only been able to display Saferoute on class 3 electronic flight bags (EFBs), however, now that capability can be added to aircraft in a less costly display integrated directly into the avionics.
"While the system delivers exceptional situational awareness in all phases of flight, it's most valuable during the critical approach phases of the flight," Dave Surridge, an A321 captain for American Airlines said in a statement published by L3Harris. "This new technology brings the same aircraft-specific data that ATC uses into the flight deck, and that allows flight crews to get a more complete picture of what the ADS-B equipped aircraft around them are doing."
Representatives for L3Harris described the process of upgrading the first two American Airlines A320 aircraft for the test flights as taking just three days to complete. The certification flight test removed two American aircraft from revenue service, one of which had previously modified with updates to the wiring that capped and stowed the wiring to accommodate the SafeRoute+ system.
The process required two days where the Saferoute+ system was installed and ground tested, before the aircraft then participated in the actual flight test.
"The aircraft spent a total of three days out of service. The second aircraft functioned as the lead aircraft and, therefore, only required ADS-B Out capabilities and did not require SafeRoute+ to be installed. This second aircraft was out of service for one day. American Airlines is currently quoting five to six years for project completion with the opportunity to outfit the entire fleet of A320 aircraft with this system as the benefits are realized. Activations of American's aircraft are planned for January 2020. At that time CAVSS ADS-B In operations will begin," Robin Glover-Faure, vice president of sales for commercial aviation at L3Harris told Avionics International.
Faure, a former British Airways pilot, said the early feedback from American has been positive, with pilots such as saying that they're able to make better real-time decisions based on the stage of a flight they're in. Initially, American will look to use ADS-B In for CAVS, with the eventual goal of flying the airport arrival concept known as flight deck interval management (FIM). Current air traffic control technology and procedures can predict arrival times to within a minute or so—but FIM is expected to enable controllers and airports to count on aircraft arriving within five to 10 seconds of a predicted time. As a result, FIM enables air traffic controllers and pilots to reduce the interval required between airplanes landing on a runway.

Boeing, Honeywell and NASA made headlines in April 2017 after performing flight deck-based IM trials involving Honeywell's Boeing 757, Dassault Falcon 900 and United Airlines Boeing 737 aircraft. The trial proved that the addition of algorithms using NASA's trajectory-based airborne spacing for terminal arrival routes (ASTAR) solution can enable a chain of airplanes approaching an airport to use a new set of air traffic control (ATC) voice clearances directing flight crews to achieve and maintain a given time-based or distance-based longitudinal spacing behind a target airplane.
American Airlines' goal for IM on its A321s will be to achieve and maintain desired spacing intervals, according to ACSS.
"We see a substantial opportunity for growth in ADS-B in because its benefits will clearly have to be proven, but those are becoming self evident that as we have seen in the testing process," Faure said. "The ability of this technology to safely flow traffic through congested airspace and into the terminal management area of airports can increase the amount of capacity in a safer way, as air traffic volumes continue to grow. American is obviously still in the earliest stages, but I think once the benefits for their pilots are clearly proven, other operators will start to look at investing in ADS-B In as well."

Police are warning people about a pair of scams targeting hotel guests. In one instance, a caller claiming to be a front desk employee says they are having trouble with your credit card and ask for the number again so you don't have to go back to the lobby. Hotel room phones have no caller ID and operators normally transfer calls through when someone asks for a specific room number, making it hard for the guest to know where the call is actually coming from. There is also word about people placing vouchers for restaurants under hotel room doors with a personal number instead of the actual business. Once you hand over your credit card information, the suspects have your personal info. Police warn that these crimes are difficult to prosecute because it is hard to track down the suspects.


Use Epsom Salts to boost your health and deal with the stresses and strains of modern life. See if Granny did know best.
Epsom Salt is also known as Magnesium Sulphate, and while it no longer comes from Epsom in the UK, it is naturally mined in Germany and is the best product on the market.
Epsom Salt is well known to ease many ailments from aching muscles and joints to dry skin and sunburn. Sourced from the manufacturers K&S Kali in Germany, we only stock the top quality FCC grade so whether you choose to use it on your feet or put it on your roses in the garden you can be sure it is the best Epsom Salt out there.
Epsom Salt did originally come from Epsom in Surrey but the original wells have not been used for many years. However, it was later discovered that magnesium sulphate (its scientific name) could also be found naturally in mines and limestone caves. This where it comes from today.
The Epsom Salt we supply you today is mined out of the ground in Germany, which we actually think is pretty natural.
It is popular with all sporting people from cyclists to runners to footballers to rugby players as it helps to ease those aches and pains. Try a long soak in epsom salt after your training session and it will certainly ease your muscle pain.
supplied in 1kg bags. We have the 1kg bags packed for us by our local contract packer (BCMPA accredited member, ISO9001, ISO14001 registered firm) so we know it's packed properly in the right environment.
Every home should have some Epsom Salts!
As a first time user of justasoap I was shopping specifically for the Epsom Salts.
I found the ordering process to be smooth, nice to get a choice of quantity on one page and the delivery was well communicated with excellent tracking information.
The product itself came well packaged and the use of several smaller bags makes sense with the nature of the salts wanting to absorb moisture I assume.

And to pretend that all literary or contemporary fiction has inherently more merit than speculative fiction because it's not purely for entertainment implies that the "pure entertainment" type contemporary fiction doesn't exist, and it doesn't seem to hit the same kind of snobbery that genre fiction does. But it does exist: "chick-lit" is seen as empty and vapid, although this issue is more rooted in sexism than literary elitism. This essay/rant will hopefully focus more on literary snobbery, the elitism that surrounds the literary world, and not necessarily what makes something popular or not.
And it's not hard, in all honesty, to find evidence that genre fiction gets snubbed at every major "prestigious" award, that genre fiction only gets recognized if it's "lightly" speculative or otherwise have to find and create its own awards.
It does not take much to look at a list of prestigious awards for literature and see that almost none of the winners are genre fiction writers, that almost none of the novels are known outside of the literary sphere.
Where are giants like Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, J. R. R. Tolkien? Jules Verne, H. G. Wells?
What is it about genre fiction that makes literary academia look down upon it? There's no denying these writers have had massive impacts on our world, so much of their writing has ingrained itself into popular culture, more than the "classics" of contemporary, and more than the pulitzer and nobel prize winning novels. To deny the influence of Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, H. G. Wells, would be to deny a major piece of our popular culture.
And even beyond the popularity of these writers, and ignoring their influence, a common argument is that once we venture into the fantastical, once we leave the realm of the Real, we can no longer take things seriously. That the fantastical only has a place as entertainment rather than a setting that could be used to discuss matters, to experiment with issues, and to push issues to the extremes. After all, is that not what satire is? And yet, straight satire gets its praise. Translating real world issues into the fantastical gets shoved aside and called shallow.
Does literary academia have such a shallow definition of fiction that it can only consider critique of social issues if it occurs in a contemporary setting? Does literary academia struggle so much with the notion of suspending disbelief that it cannot look past the fantastical elements?
These are all symptoms of a greater problem from within the world of literary academia; where the concept that fiction must require "thought" in order to be good literature (an aspect deeply rooted in elitism) allows literary academia to push aside the more accessible genre fiction. This is all spawned by the notion that "thought-provoking literature" makes assumptions that the reader's experiences are parallel or cognate to the author's, while genre fiction lays things out, creates a play-by-play and aims for accessibility.
But barring that, ignoring the fact that genre fiction absolutely can spur deep thought, how is it that a good story – that good storytelling – is not enough for praise? Why is it that the effort and research that goes into building secondary worlds goes unrecognized by literary academia? What criteria does literary academia praise that isn't present in genre fiction? Why does literary fiction only care for the absolute mundane or the most abhorrent of people? John Updike comes to mind for the latter, Gabrielle Roy comes to mind for the former.
This is not, in all honesty, an issue solely found in literature. Look to the academy awards and name a speculative fiction movie that has won it (I'm fairly certain only one has, and it was The Fellowship of the Ring). And within the film world, it's almost a game for some, to spot the "Oscar bait" – movies that were clearly made to appease the academy, movies that hit certain themes that the academy has been known to like.
To say that a lot of contemporary isn't written with the intention to appease literary academia would be misguided – how many contemporary novels are written as some form of misery porn? That real world issues can only be discussed with a certain type of misery only found in the real world, that social commentary can only be done with the living dread and hopelessness that seems to be ever-present in the society they want to portray. These stories seem to regurgitate the same sorrow and struggles in the same settings but in different parts of a country, with slightly different characters who have slightly different reactions. These stories become inherently about pain without any recompense.
Why does literary fiction feed off the apparent suffering of majority groups? Why do stories that are blatantly racist and sexist continue to get praise and excused in academic circles? So much of literary fiction is centred around unhappy marriages, unfaithful white men using women as objects, stories of white families on stolen indigenous land. Stories of non-white countries are shown through a white lens, exotifying it, making caricatures of the natives and resorting to racist stereotypes.
And those that aren't misery porn? The "happy" ones filled with humour? Why do those get more of an academic standing than say, Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Shouldn't humour stand regardless of genre? Does speculative fiction not allow for more freedom when creating humourous situations?
I have no suggestions on how to fix this. But I wanted to bring it to light, to confront it. There are underlying narratives here: of academia being rooted in a Western, colonialist, patriarchal lens, of arbitrary definitions of what makes something "good" and "bad", of the stealing of minority voices and the willful ignorance of nuance.
We're tired. Perhaps it's just my generation, but we're damn tired. We're tired of the real world and the fights we've found ourselves in over basic human rights. We don't want to be reminded of that dread and helplessness and hopelessness that we only seem to get in contemporary fiction. We're tired of seeing stories about suffering and misery without hope, despite the circle jerk that literary academia seems to settled into over it.
I want literal demons. I want magic, i want a distant future where our main struggles are communication with another intelligent species. Just let me have my fantastical, where we can struggle and suffer, but kill those literal demons that plague us. Just give me a good story, damn it.

State Champions Aragona (N.J.), Busiello (N.Y.) To Battle In High School Match At Beat the Streets
Rutgers Commit, 2019 NJ 138-lb. Winner Aragona (Pope John XXIII HS) To Take On Five-Time NYS Champ (Eastport-South Manor HS) As Part Of Annual Youth Non-profit BTS Fundraiser
The first youth matchup for the 2019 "Grapple at the Apple" Beat the Streets (BTS) benefit is set, and it's a battle of State Champions, as Jo Jo Aragona (Pope John XXIII HS/New Jersey) will take on Adam Busiello (Eastport-South Manor HS/New York) as two of the top 138 lb. wrestlers in the country take to the mat on Monday, May 6, at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. The bout will precede the main event that evening, featuring stars of Team USA vs. NCAA Champions. The 10th annual event, which supports BTS, the largest grassroots inner city wrestling program in the United States, serves as both a fundraiser for the organization and to celebrate its athletes as they compete on the biggest stage in the center of the world.
Aragona, who has committed to attend Rutgers University next year, ranks #1 in the country, according to InterMat, He is the reigning New Jersey State Champion and three-time State medalist. He earned New Jersey Herald and NJAC Wrestler of the Year honors, and with a 158-6 record (42-0 this year) has the most wins in Sussex County, N.J. history. Aragona was also the winner of the "Who's #1" event by FloWrestling.
Busiello claimed five straight New York State Championships (the only Suffolk County wrestler ever to accomplish the feat), and is currently rated #4 in the nation by InterMat. The Sag Harbor, N.Y., native, who will attend Arizona State in the fall, chalked up a 280-8 record including three consecutive undefeated seasons in earning five Section I championships. He also won four straight "Super 32" titles, becoming the first high school division wrestler to do so.
"It's exciting to have two of the best wrestlers in the world as well as State Champions in Jo Jo and Adam as part of a celebration of the sport," said Beat the Streets Executive Director Brendan Buckley. "New Jersey and Long Island are hotbeds of the sport, and fans can get a glimpse of the future as well as the present with what will be a standout lineup of the best of USA Wrestling and NCAA stars."
The bout will be part of a festive BTS evening. Tickets are available now via TicketMaster, priced starting at $30 at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/3B005668AA091B69. A variety of donation packages which include "Grapple in the Garden" tickets are also available at https://www.btsny.org/bts-events or by emailing molalde btsny.org, beginning at $1000. Doors open on May 6 at 5:30 p.m., with the main event starting at 6 p.m.
For the fifth straight year, FloSports will provide live and on-demand coverage on FloWrestling.com.
Beat the Streets, Inc. will invite select members of the 2018 U.S. Men's Freestyle World Team, which placed second in the 2018 World Championships and won seven World medals, as well as select top USA women's wrestlers. The competing athletes from USA Wrestling and NCAA schools will be announced at a later date.
Beat the Streets Benefit competitions, which began in 2010, have since become a major showcase of the best of international wrestling. This unique and electrifying annual event has helped Beat the Streets raise millions of dollars to support local youth wrestling programs which empower young people in New York City.
The first Beat the Streets Benefit was held on the U.S.S. Intrepid, an aircraft carrier docked on the west side of Manhattan. Since then, the benefit has taken place at other notable New York City spots like Grand Central Station and Times Square. Team USA has faced off against teams from around the world including Japan, Cuba, Russia and Iran. Last year, the competition was hosted at the new Pier 17 in the Seaport District and included the highly anticipated Burroughs vs. Chamizo match.
The 2018 U.S. World Team, which competed in Budapest, Hungary, featured 2018 World champions Kyle Dake, David Taylor and J'den Cox, 2018 World silver medalist Kyle Snyder, and 2018 World bronze medalists Joe Colon, Jordan Burroughs and Nick Gwiazdowski. Burroughs and Snyder are both multiple Olympic and World champions. Others on the USA team included 2016 World champion Logan Stieber, two-time World bronze medalist James Green and 2017 World silver medalist Thomas Gilman.

I am the owner and senior photographer at Blushhh Photography based in Eastcote, West London.
I am a passionate photographer and a mum to a cheeky little girl! I have over 10 years of photography experience focusing largely on weddings and newborn photography.
At the heart of my business is authenticity, customer service and a true dedication to providing beautiful timeless art. I feel immensely proud to be able to play a small role in building up your family legacy, whether it is through designing a personalised storybook album of your wedding day that you can pass down to your children or a beautiful canvas of your newborn that you enjoy walking past every day.
You will see from the numerous testimonials on Blushhh Photography's Facebook, that I've had the pleasure of seeing many satisfied clients but if you happen to have any issues, I'd like to think that we can have a chat and work it out.
The Investment page will give you a good idea of pricing. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like more information.
Newborn photography was launched as a result of so many of our couples asking if we could photograph their children. After investing a lot of time in learning the craft, practising at every given opportunity, creating a unique set of products and above all experiencing the joy of motherhood myself, I feel confident that we have something very special to offer our clients.
Feel free to browse through our newborn galleries.
I'm fortunate enough to receive many more enquiries than the number of weddings I can take on in a given year. I have deliberately placed a limit on the number of weddings so that I can give my full attention to each of couples and their families that I decide to work with. If you don't have confirmed dates but are interested in Blushhh Photography, I would advise you to speak to us as early as possible as peak dates are in demand.
If you are having a fusion type wedding or mixed religions, cultures and/or backgrounds, I'd love to hear from you. This is something I have naturally been drawn to over the years and have a good deal of experience in.
Have a look at my wedding galleries to see a sample of my work.
We have covered a range of corporate vents such as networking, seminars, workshops, and shows. We work regularly with events companies as their preferred photographer for capturing fashion shows, evening galas and other such events. Quick turnaround is offered to ensure you get maximum exposure from the event(s).
All the requirements and deliverables are discussed with you prior to booking.
I started my photography career in fashion assisting well known fashion photographer Alexandre Pichon, working on Asiana shoots across UK and have also shot independently for magazines such as Vanity UK and Lancet.
Whilst fashion is now less of a focus in my business, I still find the styling, posing and attention to detail very useful elements to bring into other aspects of my photography to create refined imagery.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall BMX Club, home to one of North America's newest BMX tracks, saw a 500 rider weekend from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23 as competitors put the pedal to the metal during a Pre-Race, Provincial Qualifier and Gold Cup Qualifier.
"We had 98 racers on Friday, 245 on Saturday and 158 on Sunday," said Dan Drouin, President of Cornwall BMX Club. "So that's phenomenal numbers we brought into the city, with most riders coming from Ontario, Quebec and the North Eastern U.S. (including Boston, New York and Vermont)."
Drouin was totally blown away with the turnout, especially on Saturday. He said that he received nothing but positive feedback about the event, especially from competitors who traveled from out of town.
"We were selected this year to host a Gold Cup Qualifier," said Drouin, who explained that only two locations in Ontario are selected every year to host that series' qualifier competitions.
The Gold Cup series requires racers to compete in both preliminary competitions before they can compete in the championship, which will be held in New York this year. The winner will receive a gold plate to ride with and a trophy among other prestigious accolades. This year, Drouin believes that five or six local riders might attend the championship, including Carter and Julia Jackson, and his son Sam Drouin.
Lincoln Owens, who competed in the 10-year-old Novice category, and Eli Neiville, who competed in the 8-year-old Novice category, stood out as locals to watch this weekend. Both riders placed first during their Saturday and Sunday competitions.
"I think the volunteers really stepped up to make this event the success that it was," said Drouin. "Obviously with the coordination with the City and Choose Cornwall, and all our sponsors, we have been able to make substantial improvements to the track this year. Cornwall is now a standout destination to come for BMX racing in the North East of the continent."
Drouin also thanked the Rotary Club of Cornwall for donating $2,000 during the event.
"It's my passion, I love the sport," said Drouin, reflecting on the weekend. "After racing with all these people, we are a very tight knit community…even the riders who are younger and older…you just get to know each other and its such a cool group of people….I just love the sport so much and I'm invested in how these kids do."

And as he's talking, Nanabush is stringing an arrow into his bow, and he's saying, 'Oh boy! They're aiming over this way! And they're aiming over that way!' And he's swinging his bow around like that as he's talking, and he aimed his bow right at that moose, at the sight of that moose, and before that moose could jump away Nanabush shot 'em. And that moose fell to the ground, and he said, 'Oh I knew I shouldn't have trusted you Nanabush!' And he died.
And Nanabush, oh, he felt so good! He congratulated himself. He was so clever and he says, 'Oh boy! I'm gonna have plenty to eat for a while!' But of course, being Nanabush, he wanted to eat as much of it as he could right then and right there! So he got out his good sharp knife and he started cutting up that great big moose.
He cut all the different parts up. He cut all the fat off that he needed to cut off [and to] separate while he had to go back and get a great big chunk of white birch or birch bark first that he put down on the ground. And he started putting these chunks of meat on that birch bark, and he got it all set out like that.
He started a fire. He got this one good, real nice, prime chunk of meat. And he got his spit, and he put that through that meat and started that fire. He got that spit up to start cooking that nice piece of meat and he put all that other meat out on that birch bark. And all that fat that he cut off that meat, well he strung that up to a nearby tree that was right close by and he hung that up in the lower branches of that tree.
And he was working hard, and he was working up quite an appetite. And he couldn't wait for that nice piece of meat to get done on that [over that] fire. Finally, it was smelling good and his stomach was rumbling away. He says, 'Oh boy! I can't wait!' He took that meat off that spit and he sat down to have himself a real nice meal.
He was just ready to chomp into his first bite and he hears this terrible noise coming from somewhere. Oh a terrible noise! He looked around and he couldn't see where that was coming from. He says, 'Oh man, I don't know what that was! But anyway I'm too hungry to care!" And he's already to take his first bite again, and [he heard it again]. He stopped and looked around and he could see that it was coming from up in that tree. The same tree where he hung all that fat.
And it was way up in the upper branches. And the wind was causing two of these branches to move around and rub together and causing this terrible noise that Nanabush kept getting interrupted by. And he says, 'Oh geez! Well I'll fix that!' And he cut another piece of that fat that was on that meat he was going to eat, and he climbed up into that tree, and he got up into where those branches were rubbing together.
Nanabush cursing away up there, and those animals were gone. And the wind came up again and Nanabush found that he was released from between those branches. He came scrambling down that tree and he looked around and all he saw everywhere he looked, all he saw was bones! Everything was picked clean by all those animals. That's all they left him! All that was left was this big ole' moose head that was lying there. That's all they left him.
Nanabush says, 'Yeah, yeah, whatever eh!' So he gets down on the ground and he's getting in there as far as he could. He couldn't get some of those juicy brains and he [tried] to get [in] as far as he could, stretching his neck to get his head in there first. And all of a sudden, his head got big again! Nanabush's head was stuck fast inside of that moose head!
"Giiyak'go! That's me, I am the pine tree,' said that one. Nanabush says, Okay'. He gets going again, and this time he feels like he's kind of running down a hill. He's going faster and faster, he could hardly keep up to that big heavy moving moose head, and then bang! Once again he hits something.
This time he got knocked right over backwards! He almost got knocked right out! He says, 'Oh man! Who are you?' And that one says, 'Always by the water do I stand.' Nanabush says, 'Oh well you must be cedar tree.' And that one says, 'That's right! I am the cedar tree.' Nanabush says, 'Okay well I gotta keep going.' He keeps going. By now he realizes he's going out into the water, and not only that, he's going deeper and deeper! He's trying to keep that moose head up, and he's trying to keep from falling over, and he's going deeper out into that water.
Pretty soon he's swimming and paddling to keep that big moose head above the water, and he's getting tired. He heard somebody calling from a distance away. Somebody says, 'Hey look at that big moose out there on the water! Let's go get 'em!' He heard these people getting a canoe ready and heard them getting into it. Then he heard them paddling out towards him and Nanabush tried to swim and paddle as far and fast as he could but those people are getting closer and closer to him.

Q: Speedometer top speed I have made a speedometer and want to add a top speed that I reached. I want the double to stay so I could use SharedPreference but would it slow down the app when running every second and potentially updating every second, also how would I make it update every second? what would be the best method? Here is all of the code relating to shared preference I have put in but I get an error saying it can't commit changes because it is in string format
The error says:
"Android.content.sharedpreferences.editor.putstring(java.lang.String) in 'Android.content.sharedpreferences.editor' can not be applied to '(java.lang.string)'"
if(top_speed > mph_conversion){
    String speed =  Double.toString(mph_conversion);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor =   getSharedPreferences(top_speed, MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
    editor.putString(speed);
    editor.commit();
}
else{
    tv3.setText(prefs.getString(speed()));
}

A: You can use editor.apply(); instead editor.commit();

UKCloud Replicates Public Sector Success With New Healthcare Division
Assured cloud services firm also releases research revealing public concern regarding privacy consent and the storage of personal data, including medical records
London – 10 May 2017 – UKCloud, the easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to leave assured cloud services company, has today announced the launch of a new division, UKCloud Health, which will deliver an open, collaborative and UK sovereign public cloud platform specifically to the healthcare industry, supporting health and care organisations, research and life sciences and pharmaceuticals.
UKCloud Health
The launch comes as research shows that 75 percent of UK adults are concerned about the protection of their personal data, including medical records, by companies and public services. *
UKCloud Health launches today with 29 partners and 30 customers, including Genomics England and the Devon Partnership NHS Trust. The initial UKCloud Health launch partners are Activ8rlives, Advice Cloud, Arctick, babylon, Brisskit (Red Informatics Ltd), Capgemini, Cinos Communications Services, Carelink, Cimar, CloudHub 360, Contract Sentinel, Digital Healthcare Management, Differentis, Docman, Egton, Fujifilm, Intec for Business, Informatica Systems, iSite, Rescon, MyLife Digital, MDS Technologies, Open Medical, Operon, PretaGov, Regify, RIVIAM Digital Care, Siemens Healthineers and Wiggly-Amps. The new division is also supported by a dedicated Advisory Board of prominent industry leaders, including Lord Paul Drayson, former Minister of State for Science and Innovation; Rachel Neaman, former Department of Health Digital Leader; and Cathrin Petty, European head of healthcare at CVC Capital Partners.
"To date, we've focused on developing a unique cloud platform exclusively to meet the needs of the UK public sector, with great success," said Simon Hansford, CEO of UKCloud. "We're now looking to replicate our business model with a new division exclusively focused on the healthcare sector, where cloud adoption rates are typically impeded by a host of different challenges."
The award winning UKCloud platform has driven unprecedented success, powering more than 200 UK public sector projects to date. As a prominent supplier to the G-Cloud Framework and the UK Government's Digital Marketplace, UKCloud has cemented its position as a public sector specialist, with unique industry knowledge and expertise. UKCloud believes that now is the ideal time to deliver its assured, open and collaborative platform for not only the NHS, but also for private healthcare providers; biomedical companies, research institutions and pharmaceutical companies.
The interoperability of UKCloud's Health platform provides an online community enabling open data sharing. As Hansford explained: "Vast quantities of data are generated by research institutions and companies, and as that research moves into product or drug development, yet more data is generated through trials, for instance. Once medication, procedures or devices are approved – which produces even more data – they reach the NHS and other mainstream health providers, where more data is generated and fed back through iterative cycles to the research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that providing a central, secure, open and collaborative cloud platform, where all of this data can be stored and appropriately shared, will provide a great deal of value to the healthcare industry as a whole."
The healthcare sector not only faces significant funding and efficiency gaps. An added challenge is patient trust when it comes to the security of their personal data.
Hansford added: "There is undoubtedly a significant trust issue when it comes to the public perception of the security of highly sensitive data in the cloud. We pride ourselves on offering the highest possible levels of assurance and believe the 'one-size-fits-all' approach offered by US headquartered generalist cloud platforms is not appropriate for specialised sectors such as healthcare, where issues of trust, privacy and interoperability are particularly important. This is evident in recent research, which reveals that 82 percent of British adults believe that the Government should seek permission before storing and processing personal data with non-UK businesses." *
UKCloud works with Genomics England on the ground-breaking 100,000 Genomes Project, which aims to being genomic medicine into mainstream healthcare. Data security is of paramount importance to this Project and UKCloud's track record of providing UK cloud services provider with the highest possible levels of resilience and security was an important factor in Genomics England choosing to partner with them.
UKCloud Health is committed to supporting digital transformation across the healthcare sector. Together with its dedicated partners, UKCloud Health offers industry leading expertise regarding the sector's core requirements, from protecting the privacy of Patient Identifiable Data to enabling collaboration across government networks, such as N3, HSCN, Janet and PSN.
* Research conducted by ComRes for UKCloud Health; 2,044 UK adults were interviewed aged 18+ online between 26-27 April 2017.

Stem Cell Technology Reveals Clues to Alzheimer's
By City Connect PR | February 29, 2012 - 5:00 am | October 27, 2013 Culture & Lifestyle, Featured
Scientists in the US have used stem cells from patients to overcome the challenge of obtaining live brain cells, allowing them to learn more about the causes of Alzheimer's. The study, published online today in the journal Nature, provides new opportunities for scientists to model the complex disease.
Induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, are cells which have been taken from one part of the body and can be reprogrammed into other cell types. They allow scientists to overcome the challenge of obtaining live cells from the brain – as they can take skin cells from people and transform them into brain cells.
The scientists used iPSCs to investigate what goes wrong in brain cells of people with both late-onset Alzheimer's, and those with familial Alzheimer's – an inherited form which tends to affect people at a younger age. Skin cells (or fibroblasts) were obtained from two people with familial Alzheimer's, two people with late-onset Alzheimer's disease, and two people without dementia to act as controls. The fibroblast cells were transformed into brain nerve cells in the lab and the scientists looked for features of Alzheimer's in these cells.
The study showed that nerve cells derived from the two volunteers with familial Alzheimer's and one of those with late-onset Alzheimer's produced high levels of amyloid and tau, two characteristic proteins involved in Alzheimer's. They also produced high levels of a protein called active GSK-3β which can be responsible for turning tau into its more toxic form. They also found that one particular inhibitor of amyloid production could reduce the levels of all three proteins in these cells.
Dr Simon Ridley, Head of Research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said:
"Induced pluripotent stem cells have the potential to provide a great resource for scientists to study diseases such as Alzheimer's – where getting access to human brain cells to study is a huge challenge. The authors have shown that these cells can reveal vital clues about the biological changes taking place during Alzheimer's and we hope further studies can expand on these early findings.
"In light of the recent European ban on patents using human embryonic stem cells, it may prove important to increase our use of technology using these non-embryonic stem cells. We hope that studies like this one will drive scientific research forward and help us to understand the biology behind different forms of Alzheimer's and test new treatments. With 820,000 in the UK living with dementia, the need for such research has never been greater."

Last November's magnitude 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake was so complex and unusual that it is likely to lead to changes in the way scientists think about earthquake hazards in plate boundary zones worldwide, a new study says.
Not only was it a record-setter for its complexity, but it was also one of the best recorded large earthquakes anywhere in the world. This latter feature has enabled scientists to undertake analysis in an unprecedented level of detail.
The paper is the first of a number of studies to be published on the rich array of data collected during and immediately after the earthquake revealing its astonishingly complex nature.
Published today in the journal Science, the paper is titled 'Complex multi-fault rupture during the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquake, New Zealand'. Led by GNS Science and with 29 co-authors from 11 national and international institutes, it reports on the analysis of a range of quake data including satellite radar imagery, field observations, GPS data and coastal uplift data.
The authors say the quake has underlined the importance of re-evaluating how rupture scenarios are defined for seismic hazard models in plate boundary zones worldwide.
The study shows the quake moved parts of the South Island more than 5 metres closer to the North Island in addition to being uplifted by up to 8m.
The earthquake ruptured at least 12 major crustal faults plus another nine lesser faults and there was also evidence of slip along southern end of the Hikurangi subduction zone plate boundary, which lies about 20km below the North Canterbury and Marlborough coastlines.
The rupture started in North Canterbury and propagated northward for more than 170km along some well-known, and some previously unknown faults. It straddled two distinct active fault domains, rupturing faults in both the North Canterbury Fault zone and the Marlborough Fault system.
The largest movement during the earthquake occurred on the Kekerengu Fault, where pieces of the Earth's crust were displaced relative to each other up by to 25m at a depth of about 15km. Maximum rupture at the surface was measured at 12m of horizontal displacement.
"This complex earthquake defies many conventional assumptions about the degree to which earthquake ruptures are controlled by individual faults, and provides additional motivation to re-think these issues in seismic hazard models," the authors say.
Lead author, geodesy specialist Ian Hamling of GNS Science, said the complex and lengthy nature of the rupture hampered early attempts to determine an accurate magnitude of the earthquake, and this could potentially pose issues for earthquake early warning systems.
Dr Hamling said the earthquake had underlined that conventional seismic hazard models were too simple and restrictive.
However, he noted that insights from several large complex earthquakes worldwide during the past decade were starting to feed into seismic hazard models and helping to relax some of the existing assumptions about the way multi-fault ruptures can occur.
Owing to the long Kaikoura aftershock sequence, there is still an elevated risk of a damaging quake occurring in the central New Zealand region. The latest aftershock probabilities, published on the GeoNet website, show there is a 15% chance of a magnitude 6.0 to 6.9 quake in the next month. While the probabilities are trending down month by month, the figures are still at a level where it is worthwhile to continue with individual and community preparedness measures.

NEWBERRY, S.C. – The Augusta University baseball team sparked an eighth-inning rally at Newberry on Wednesday night, but couldn't complete the comeback to fall 4-3 in non-conference action on the road.
The last time Augusta (13-15) and Newberry (20-14) met, the teams endured a 17-inning battle at Lake Olmstead Stadium. The Wolves pulled out the win in a game with 28 combined hits and fought off the Jags in the second meeting to survive by a run.
Sophomore Chase Slone (0-2) got the midweek start for Augusta and went four innings to allow seven hits for three runs. Junior Casey Lenoch entered in the fifth and struck out his first two batters looking. He tossed a pair pf innings and gave up a solo run on three hits, before senior Cody Pugh struck out two in a couple of innings.
Senior Clint Hardy had two doubles for AU in a 3-4 night and junior Brent Alford was 1-3 with two RBI. Junior Jim Wagner also had an RBI on one hit as the Jaguars totaled nine hits to Newberry's 11.
The Wolves were led by Danton Hyman who went 3-4 with a run and Trejon Smith and Tommy Passarello each had two hits.
Newberry hit two singles in the second inning and scored an unearned run after a runner advanced to second base on a failed pickoff attempt. Two singles and a walk in the fourth inning loaded the bases for Passerello to hit a two-run double.
Down by three, Augusta got within one when Alford blasted a two-run double to score Will Zimmer and Ty Hobbs. After the Wolves added one more in the sixth, Augusta carded a late run in the eighth when Wagner plated Tyler Roberts. Hardy was behind Roberts on the base path and got thrown out at the plate trying to tie the game.
Christian Zellner (2-0) pitched 7.2 innings and surrendered three runs for seven hits. Dylan Southerland pitched out of the eighth inning before Newberry closer Charlie Fessler finished the ninth.
The Jags host Paine College on Wednesday, March 29 for a 5:00 p.m. single game at Lake Olmstead Stadium.
Augusta heads to Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C., for a three-game, non-conference series March 31-April 1. The Jags play a single game against the Catawba Indians on Friday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m. and compete in a doubleheader at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Far too often, somebody crossing in a cross walk with the light is injured by a vehicle that is driven by somebody who is not paying attention. Regrettably, the person who causes the accident will very often blame the person who was lawfully walking down the street for the injuries they suffered. As a result, insurance companies often refuse to pay the compensation that is deserved under the law to the pedestrian.
Motorists must allow older, younger, and disabled pedestrians ample time to cross the road.
Even when a pedestrian is walking outside the crosswalk, a motorist is expected to exercise due caution.
If you have been injured in a California pedestrian accident, it is important that you remain at the crash site and call the police. Take down the contact information of the driver and of anyone who may have witnessed the accident. If you have a smart phone or camera with you, take photos of the vehicle, the site of the crash and of your injuries. It is also important to discuss what happened with the police and to seek out immediate medical attention. Getting medical attention right away will maximize the chances of your recovery and also provide a record when you file your injury claim.
If you, a loved one or friend is a victim of a pedestrian accident, call Mr. Waldman. The initial consultation is free. If Mr. Waldman agrees to represent you, you don't pay unless funds are recovered on your behalf.

This isn't role-playing as you generally associate it. There are no levels or perks here. Instead, this is role-playing in the strictest sense of the word, as a bunch of gamers act out the roles they've assumed in-game.
This is footage from a British ArmA II group, who not only went to the trouble of mocking up a fake TV news story, but even added fake news broadscast tickers and logos to go with it.
The opening is pretty hammy, but once the inevitable ambush kicks in, it all gets surprisingly entertaining/realistic and really sells just how serious a game ArmA II can be.
ArmA II is a military shooter from the developers behind the original Operation Flashpoint game. There's a third game in the series currently in development.
