At the time of its release, untold millions were talking about Henry James's masterpiece, but how many read it?
AMBASSADORS, The. 'The Ambassadors' is often spoken of as enjoying the doubtful distinction of being the most talked about and least read novel in the English language. It holds first place in the affection of most people with whom the love of Henry James is a literary cult; it is the author's own favorite among his works. He calls it "quite the best 'all round' of all my productions." Yet, in spite of the fact that it was published in 1903, 25 years after 'Daisy Miller' and 'The Portrait of a Lady' had created an audience for their author's work, half of the first edition remained on the publisher's shelves for years.
It requires something more than the fact that 'The Ambassadors' is written in James' "later manner" and is full of subleties of character, situation and expression to account for these extremes of admiration and neglect, and that something is undoubtedly the age of the hero. Middle age has never been popular in fiction, and 'The Ambassadors,' through Lambert Strether — probably the finest character James ever created — is the mirror of New England middle age beside the youth of Paris.

Google's closing its photo sharing service Panoramio on November 4
By Ben Woods October 8, 2016 6:16 pm BST
Google is finally closing down its photo sharing service Panoramio, much to the distress of the platform's few remaining loyal users.
You probably haven't heard a whole lot about the location-based photo service in the past few years, and that's because this is actually the second time that Google's tried to close down the platform, after ultimately relenting following a user petition in 2014.
Now, this time the company really means it and no amount of protest is going to stop the service closing. That means you'll need to make sure your account is linked to your Google+ account if you the photos you've uploaded over the years copued across to a Google archive for downloading.
"If you have linked your Panoramio profile with a Google account, all your Panoramio photos will be copied to the Google Album Archive at full resolution after Panoramio goes away. These copied photos will not use any of your Google storage quota. Your Panoramio photos that appear in Google Maps will continue to appear in Maps, unless you delete them later from the Maps Contributions panel," Google advises users.
From Google's perspective, it makes a lot of sense as it has newer features attached to Google Maps that do a similar, if not the same, job. Specifically, the Local Guides option, which lets people upload photos, reviews and other information about a location. From the perspective of long-time users that spent years contributing to Panoramio, uploading images, levelling up their accounts and generally building a community, it feels more like a metaphorical kick in the teeth.
While there's a substitute in the form of Local Guides, and Panoramio had a good run since its launch in 2005, it's unlikely that the platform's holdouts will make the jump to Google Maps due to a slightly different feature set and less of a community focus.

Facebook, is the largest social media platform in today's time. Not only, it is used by people of all age groups but also, provides deep level of segmentation to help you target your users on the basis of their demographics, interests and behavior.
Facebook, keeps updating its algorithm to make user experience better and this is why it can help you reach out to the people looking for your services in more accurate way as compared to the other social media platforms.
What makes Facebook so valuable is how it can help businesses generate revenues without spending much. In today's time, users look for facebook reviews and ratings more than the 3rd party websites.
Sales can be increased by not just targeting the relevant audience through Facebook ads but also from different groups and pages where users post reviews and feedback.
Social media channels have bridged the gap between consumers and the companies. Facebook provides a clean and easy to understand interface through which you can respond back to your customer's queries in the quickest manner. It shows response timings to your customers which can build confidence and credibility.
Facebook is much more targeted than you might realize. Businesses can target users with Facebook Ads by location, demographics, age, gender, interests, behavior, and connections. But Facebook can also help you get in front of specific, and often motivated, segments of your audience with some powerful ad targeting options you've probably never heard of.
Your efforts with Facebook Ads will bring new traffic to your website. But you want more. You want leads. Customers. Sales. To achieve this, you'll want to tag visitors who come to your site with a cookie. This will help build your remarketing audience.
Now you can start applying behavioral and demographic filters on your audience to target your Facebook Ads to a narrow group of people who are interested in your stuff (behavioral and interest targeting), who recently checked out your stuff (retargeting), and who can afford to buy your stuff (demographic targeting).
Facebook has 1.39 billion mobile visitors every month and half a billion of its users only access the network via mobile. So capturing leads from mobile Facebook users is a huge opportunity. Think about mobile Facebook users. They see an ad, click on the Call Now button, and the lead is captured. Amazing.
Facebook is one of the largest social media platforms in the world. Your business' presence will help you gain exposure to potential customers.
Facebook advertising allows you to target very specific demographics, based on location, age, gender and interests.
Your audience of Facebook 'likes' can be a great starting point to gather sales leads. You can use competitions and giveaways to gather email address to build your marketing lists.

City state's tourism board takes top honours for achievements during pandemic in 2021; two Singapore women among PCMA top 20 young people tipped as industry leaders of tomorrow
13th January 2022 | Posted by Martin Donovan
CONFIDENCE in Singapore's business events capabilities have been given a further boost with the destination taking centre stage in Las Vegas during the PCMA Convening Leaders conference.
Singapore Tourism Board was named as the 2022 PCMA Chair's Award Winner for "showing outstanding leadership in the industry during the pandemic".
The award is given each year to an organisation or individual considered by the Professional Convention Management Association to have made a unique achievement or contribution to the meetings industry in the previous year.
The top-ranking award comes as two Singaporeans were named among the convention management association's "20 in Their Twenties" – an annual event to honour young people who have shown leadership and ideas to take the industry forward.
Pauline Cheong (above left), assistant sales manager at Marina Bay Sands, and Gladys Goh (right), conventions manager with Singapore Tourism Board, shared the honours in front of an audience of 2,500 at Caesars Forum, where earlier pop icon Paula Abdul had performed for delegates.
Meanwhile in Singapore, companies can host up to a thousand people at work-related events provided authorities are notified under recently relaxed restrictions.
Event attendees must be fully vaccinated or can prove they are medically ineligible for vaccines.
Conferences, trade shows and exhibitions involving more interaction between participants require separate approval from the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Edward Koh, executive director at Singapore Tourism Board, said the honours reflected how the city state combated the Covid pandemic while encouraging its business events and international conference industry to move forward".
In thanking the PCMA for the Chair's Award, Koh said in a social media posting that it was a "great honour for our industry and partners who continued to believe and press on with grit and determination.
In an earlier message to the PCMA's 8,400-strong global membership after being chosen as one of the 20 in Their Twenties, Cheong said new skills she learned during the pandemic, including the association's Digital Event Strategist diploma, were invaluable.

"As event professionals, we must continue to innovate and constantly push the boundaries — pushing ourselves to not only excel in what we do, but to have the courage to try something new," Cheong told the PCMA Convene portal.
"Collaborations are also very important, be it with our colleagues, clients, or industry peers. It is through such partnerships that we're able to leverage each other's collective strengths and shared experiences to drive better outcomes."
STB's Goh said: "Now more than ever, there needs to be a stronger focus on transformation and for the industry to embody a warrior mentality. This means being agile and adaptable, investing in change, having the courage to innovate, implementing new capabilities and new business models, and committing to do whatever it takes to succeed."

Ælfric's Preface to Genesis (London, BL, Cotton Claudius B.iv, fol. 1r), courtesy of the British Library.
Some time back, I noticed that quite a few people who came across my Academia.edu profile found it because they were searching for a translation of Ælfric of Eynsham's Preface to Genesis (about which I've written an article in English Studies). I did some searching of my own, and found that there are not many translations of the preface–one by Jonathan Wilcox in 1994, another by Burton Raffel in 1998–and none is accessible online. Unlike other Old English texts, and especially the poetry, Ælfric's writings about the Bible do not receive much attention, though they should for a number of reasons. From a perspective of the literary history of the Bible in English, the abbot has quite a lot to offer.
Here begins the Preface to Genesis in English.
Ælfric the monk humbly greets Æthelward the ealdorman. You asked me, friend, that I should translate the book of Genesis from Latin into English for you. It seemed troublesome to me to give this to you then, and you said then that I need not translate any more of the book except up to Isaac, the son of Abraham, because someone else had translated the book from Isaac until the end.
Now it seems to me, friend, that the work [of translation] is very dangerous to me or anyone to undertake, because I fear that if someone foolish reads this book, or hears it read, that someone might wish to think that one might live now under the new law just as the old fathers lived, when in the time before the old law was established, or just as people lived under the law of Moses. I once knew that a certain priest, who was my teacher at the time, had the book of Genesis, and he could understand Latin in part. Then he said about the patriarch Jacob that he had four wives: two sisters and their two handmaids. He spoke very truly, but he did not know, nor did I yet, how much difference there is between the old law and the new. In the beginning of this world, a brother took his sister as wife, and sometimes a father also had a child by his own daughter, and many men also had more wives for the people. And then at the beginning a man could not take a wife, except for among his relatives. If anyone wishes to live now, after the coming of Christ, just as people lived before the law of Moses, or under the law of Moses, that one is not a Christian, nor even deserving that any Christian might eat with him.
For unlearned priests, if they understand only a little of Latin books, then it seems to them that they might quickly be great teachers, although they do not know the spiritual meaning of them, and how the old law was a sign of things to come, or how the New Testament, after the incarnation of Christ, was the fulfillment of all of the things which the Old Testament signaled toward, about Christ and about his chosen. They also often talk about Peter, why they might not have a wife, just as the blessed apostle Peter had. And they desire not to hear nor to know that the blessed Peter lived after the law of Moses, until Christ, who in that time came to humankind, began to preach his holy gospel and chose Peter as the first to follow him. Then Peter abandoned his wife right away, and all of the twelve apostles, who had wives, abandoned both wives and their possessions and followed the teaching of Christ to the new law and the purity that he himself upheld. Priests are established as teachers of lay-people. Now it is suitable for them that they know how to understand the old law spiritually and what Christ himself, and his apostles, taught in the New Testament, so that they might direct the people to belief in God and set a good example by good works.
We also said before that the book is very profoundly spiritual in understanding and we will write no more than the naked narrative. Then it seems to the unlearned that all that meaning is locked up in the simple narrative, but it is very far from it. The book is named Genesis, that is "the book of species," because it is the first book and speaks about each species. But it says nothing about the creation of the angels. It begins thus: "In the beginning God created heaven and earth." That is in English, "In the beginning God shaped heaven and earth." It was truly done so, that almighty God made creation in the beginning, then when he desired. But even so, according to the spiritual meaning, that meaning is Christ, just as he himself said to the Jews: "I say to you, I am the beginning." Through this beginning God the Father made heaven and earth, because he shaped all of creation through his Son, who was always born from him, wisdom of the wise Father.
Again the three angels came to Abraham and he spoke to them all three just as to one. How did the blood of Abel call out to God, except just as the misdeeds of each one accuse him without words? By these little things, people may understand how deep the book is in spiritual meaning, although it is written with clear words. Again Joseph, who was sold into the land of Egypt, and he saved that people against the great famine, had signified Christ, who was sold for us to death and saved us from the eternal famine of the torment in hell. That great tabernacle that Moses made in the desert with wonderful skill, just as God himself ordered, had signified the church of God, which he himself established through his apostles with many adornments and pleasing customs. To the building the people brought gold and silver and valuable gemstones and many ornaments. Some also brought goat's hair, just as God commanded. That gold signified our belief and our good intentions that we should offer to God. That silver signified the speech of God and the holy teachings that we should have for the works of God. The gemstones signified the great beauty of the man of God. That goat's hair signifies the hard penance that men repent for their sins. Men also offered cattle of many kinds as offerings within the tabernacle. By that is very much signified, and it was commanded that the tail should always be whole on the beast at the offering, which signifies that God desires that we always do well until the end of our lives; then the tail is offered in our works.
Now is the aforementioned book in many places very narrowly composed, although very deeply in the spiritual meaning. And it is so ordered just as God himself dictated to Moses, and we dare not write any more in England than that Latin has, nor to change the order, except solely when Latin and English do not have one means of ordering speech. Whenever someone translates or interprets Latin into English, one should always arrange it so that the English has one's own manner, or else it is very erroneous to read, for one who does not know the manner of Latin.
It is also to be known that some were erroneous, who would cast off the old law, and some would have the old and cast off the new, just as the Jews do. But Christ himself and his apostles taught us to keep both, the old spiritually and the new truly with works. God shaped us with two eyes and two ears, two nostrils and two cheeks, two hands and two feet, and he also desired to have two testaments established in this world, the old and the new, because he does just as he desires. And has no advisor, nor any person need to say to him, "Why do you do as you do?" We should turn our wills to his laws and we may not turn his laws to our desires.
I say now that I dare not, nor do I desire, to translate any book after this from Latin into English. And I ask you, dear ealdorman, that you no longer ask this, in case I might be disobedient to you, or false if I do [translate more]. May God be gracious to you ever for eternity. I ask now in the name of God, if anyone desires to copy this book, that he corrects it well by the exemplar, because I have no control if someone brings it to error through lesser scribes, and it is then his peril, not mine. The bad scribe does much evil if he will not correct his errors.
Thanks for this, Brandon! It's very useful.
Is this the preface which can be found at the beginning of the Old English Hexateuch (Cotton Claudius B. iv) or is this another preface entirely?
Yes, this is the preface appended to three versions of the so-called Old English Hexateuch: London, British Library, Cotton Claudius B.iv; Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc. 509; and Cambridge, University Library, Ii.1.33.
I wonder about a word that you translated: "gate hær". I would think that is goat hair. Later it is connected to repentance.
Ah, yes, I just looked back at the original, and you're definitely right: it's gatehær in Marsden's text. I think, for some reason, I conflated this with the previous phrase ("menigfælde mærþa"), and missed the detail. It's certainly significant that it's linked to penance, since that tells us a lot about cultural practices; there's similar imagery, for example, in penitentials. Thanks to your comment, I'll emend the translation.
Thanks, yours seems to be the only available translation of this interesting text introducing the Hexateuch. We should have an online interactive edition of that incredible manuscript. There may have been something from Florida State. Does anybody know of any other publications?
If you mean the version in London, BL, Cotton Claudius B.iv (just one of the surviving Heptateuch manuscripts with the Preface, although it's incomplete at the beginning), there is a full digital facsimile of it at the British Library's Digitised Manuscripts site: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/FullDisplay.aspx?ref=Cotton_MS_Claudius_B_IV.
As for more bibliography (on all of the Heptateuch manuscripts), the obvious catalogue is Helmut Gneuss and Michael Lapidge, Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts: A Bibliographical Handlist of Manuscripts and Manuscript Fragments Written or Owned in England up to 1100 (Toronto, 2014); and I would highly recommend the full descriptions, with further bibliography, online at The Production and Use of English Manuscripts 1060 to 1220: https://www.le.ac.uk/english/em1060to1220/.

Medical knowledge is a powerful instrument that is meant for individual and collective good. Since the time of Hippocrates, we have known it should never be abused, even if serious misuses have occurred in modern history. Among the most recent examples of harm is the compulsory collection of DNA samples from ordinary people being carried out by the Chinese authorities in Xinjiang province as part of a programme of surveillance and control [1]. As members of ESHG, professionals working in genetics and genomics, we feel that we must point out the damage that such a collection may cause: first to those directly affected, but also to the reputation of academic and healthcare institutions (including ethics committees), companies and publishers, and the image of genetics in the wider world. Such abuses of genetic tests and DNA collection may damage the trust citizens put into genetics and the promise of personalised medicine, and thus could impair the future of genetic research and healthcare overall. The recent announcement by Springer Nature of the retraction of a 2019 paper [2] on Y-chromosome profiling of ethnic minorities in China and of another on InDel profiling [3], and the placing under scrutiny of more than two dozen others for similar concerns, is an important step in the right direction. However, it still appears that almost half of over a thousand articles describing forensic genetics studies in Chinese populations have at least one co-author from the Chinese police, judiciary or related institutions. It is impossible to carry out forensic population genetics research in China independently from the Chinese authorities. All this literature is thus potentially ethically tainted. Publishers correctly require that the studies described in submitted manuscripts have ethical approvals. However, they may fail to recognise that some ethics committees may not function or abide by expected ethical standards. For example, multiple studies have been approved by ethics committees run by the Chinese Ministries of Public Security or Justice. In the retracted study on InDel markers, the investigation revealed that out of four Chinese populations, ethical approval had only been obtained for the Han majority group. Publishers should conduct a mass reassessment of this literature and require further information on consent and ethical approvals in addition to considering whether the studies fulfil the basic ethical requirements for non-maleficence, beneficence, justice and veracity. Such an assessment would be important if, in the future, any doubt arises about the data and the uses to which they may be put. These problems extend beyond China. For example, the Y-chromosome haplotype reference database (YHRD), hosted by the Charité University of Berlin, contains over 12,000 forensic Y-chromosome profiles from vulnerable Chinese populations [4]. The YHRD also contains considerable multiple data sets on Roma people, and their over-representation in the database is significant. For example, among 600 Y-chromosome profiles from Bulgaria, 311 are from Roma individuals [5]. We would like to see an end to collaborations between academic and clinical institutions worldwide and institutions in countries carrying out widespread, unethical DNA collections and/or analysis, and any databases containing such material destroyed, or have any ethically problematic data removed. We would encourage institutions to carry out regular reassessments of such databases, following an initial assessment that considers the risk of potential abuse and provides guidance on how it may be avoided. We suggest that companies, too, should stop sales to the institutions involved in ethically tainted genetic research. One of the largest companies serving the area, Thermo Fisher Scientific, has decided to stop sales of equipment to Xinjiang police forces, but such action by one company alone is insufficient to tackle the problem. The retracted Y-chromosome study on vulnerable Xinjiang minorities involved authors from the Xinjiang police forces and used Thermo Fisher products. The only effective way would seem to be to stop sales to police and judiciary forces across China of products used in the identification of humans by means of molecular genetics. Other Western suppliers, such as Promega and QIAGEN, should follow suit. The US Government has imposed Magnitsky sanctions on the Xinjiang public security authorities for human rights abuses [6]. This means that American citizens and companies are forbidden to interact with them. However, the US Government itself has been carrying out a compulsory DNA profiling on migrants crossing the border with Mexico. These data will be lodged with the FBI, even though the sole offence the individual may have committed is an attempt to enter the country illegally. The problem of the unethical collection of DNA samples is clearly not limited to China. Another recent example comes from Kuwait, where, in 2015, the government became the first in the world to introduce a law requiring the compulsory collection of DNA samples from all citizens, residents and visitors to the country. Such a measure was introduced purportedly to discourage terrorism, but many suspected that it could lead to genetic discrimination against some vulnerable minorities. The following year, after an international campaign against the measure, led by European geneticists and a courageous Kuwaiti lawyer, the law was dropped [7]. In Thailand, the compulsory collection of DNA came into force in the south of the country in 2015 as part of an attempt to curb insurgency by Muslim Malay rebels [8]. In that year alone, samples were taken from more than 40,000 people, according to a local police chief. More recently, DNA collection has become a part of the military conscription process for men residing in the southern provinces of Thailand [9]. Although they were asked to sign a consent form, the men reported that they were given no information as to the proposed use of their DNA or the duration of storage of their DNA samples, nor were they told that it was legal to refuse consent. Products from Thermo Fisher Scientific, QIAGEN and Promega appear to be used by the Thai police force. While China, the USA and Thailand are very different countries from Kuwait, both in their size and their leadership, the Kuwaiti example gives us reason to hope that international pressure may have an effect. We are concerned that the growing public awareness of abusive DNA collections will have a detrimental effect on the image of genetics in the wider world. The anti-vaccination movement started off small and was supported by only a handful of mavericks. Few people would have imagined that it would grow so quickly, and to such an extent that a substantial proportion of the population in many Western countries refrain from vaccinations, depriving their children of potentially life-saving tools, and also suggesting they might refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Likewise, if awareness of the coercive nature of the collection of some human DNA samples becomes widespread, whether through accurate reporting or via conspiracy theories on social media, it may affect people's willingness to donate samples voluntarily and to contribute to the research and diagnostic databases that are so important in the quest for improving and advancing medical knowledge and the treatment of diseases. As an example, Hong Kong activists have reasonable concerns about a possible diversion of biological samples for COVID-19 testing to forensic DNA profiling, and this has led to calls for the avoidance of such testing. Article 7 of the International Declaration on Human Genetic Data (UNESCO, IBC 2003) states: "Non-discrimination and non-stigmatization Every effort should be made to ensure that human genetic data and human proteomic data are not used for purposes that discriminate in a way that is intended to infringe, or has the effect of infringing human rights, fundamental freedoms or human dignity of an individual or for purposes that lead to the stigmatization of an individual, a family, a group or communities. In this regard, appropriate attention should be paid to the findings of population-based genetic studies and behavioural genetic studies and their interpretations". We can and must keep up the pressure to ensure that the most basic rights to privacy and bodily integrity are respected across the world. In this time of COVID-19, Chinese science is increasingly under scrutiny from all quarters. The country's reaction to the pandemic has been widely praised. It is surely not in their interest to damage their standing in the scientific world by continuing with what are clearly unethical and discriminatory practices.

The Daily Item, Sunbury, Pa.
COAL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Philadelphia woman faces felony drug charges after Coal Township prison corrections officers allege they seized 48 suboxone strips during an inmate visit Sunday.
Justina Delgoleto, 54, of Philadelphia, was visiting an inmate at around 12:30 p.m. when officers at SCI-Coal Township monitoring the visit on surveillance cameras saw Delgoleto remove the suboxone strips from her waistband and pass them to the inmate.
Officers entered the visiting room and terminated the visit and took the inmate to be searched, Stonington state troopers said. Delgoleto was also detained, police said.
The inmate continued to try and hide the suboxone strips in his mouth but could not swallow the pack, police said.
Officers had to use a pepper spray to contain the inmate and he eventually spit out the drugs, police said.
Delgoleto faces felony possession with the intent to deliver and felony contraband, according to court documents.
Delgoleto was sent to Northumberland County Jail and will be arraigned in front of Shamokin District Judge John Gembic on Monday.


Ex-prosecutor died in the building of Ukraine's Prosecutor General Office. He is suspected of committing crimes against Maidan protesters, as Olexiy Donskoy, the prosecutor of the Investigation Department of the service, said, UNIAN reported.

Who plays at the arcade in Japan and why? (UPDATED)
arcadehero November 30, 2010 15
(UPDATED: thanks to one of our readers who translated a couple of the charts for us into English, they are posted below).
Market data for the amusement industry is sometimes hard to come by, but it's not impossible to find. Trade magazines such as Replay Magazine or Play Meter often carry useful data about the market whether it's machine earnings or overall data as we see in Play Meter's State of the Industry reports which show thousands of locations operating arcade equipment in the US alone. There also was a German study about the US amusement industry that suggested $10.5 billion in sales by 2015 and recently amusement industry expert Kevin Williams reported that he figured that more arcade titles are in operation in the US today than were running in the "Golden Age" of arcade gaming in the early 80's. Despite that some people continue to believe the myth that arcades are dead everywhere except Japan but perhaps when enough facts get out there, that perception will begin to change.
Sadly the poll we'll discuss today won't be helping the argument for arcades outside of Japan very much but it's still interesting to look over. This was published by a Japanese internet research company called MyVoice, who gathered data from nearly 12,000 people earlier this month on the subject of arcades. Some of the details are not translated by the online interpreter but we can get a pretty good idea of what is going on. For starters, of the 11,830 people questioned, 39% play games in arcades with 11.3% attending an arcade more than once a month. Looking deeper into the numbers, younger people will head to the arcade more often but a large majority of respondents in this poll are over the age of 30 (as a side note, Taito has stated that one reason they are doing Darius Burst Another Chronicle is to bring players from the 30-40 age range back into arcades). Only 191 teens were questioned out of the 11,830, which seems a little disproportionate, even given Japan's older population. I think that point is worth highlighting as the story spreads around the internet – it would be equally interesting to see how console gamers treat that medium as they age and whether their interest in games holds. Here is a chart showing how often respondents visit Japanese arcades.
Players who do go to arcades there love crane and "medal" games which is something that is prevalent pretty much anywhere you go. Reasons why they go to the arcade are interesting for the insight as well: 46.2% go to kill some time; 46.1% also go for the social interaction found at the arcade. Some negative impressions about arcades were also given by respondents – many thought that arcades are "too expensive" and "noisy". It certainly doesn't help operators in Japan that some games cost over a million yen either. I've heard before that the reason why arcades do so well in Japan compared to elsewhere is location and culture but these responses could probably be found anywhere else in the world, regardless of the culture in a given geographic area. Here's a chart showing what games are played the most with prize redemption coming out on top, just like it does everywhere else.
If you want to check the poll out, along with some charts, here's the link. And if anyone can give us a translation of some the lines on the charts, that would be greatly appreciated.
So what about you? If you go to the arcade, why do you do it? If not, then why don't you go? What would drive you to go?

Here's an important, but less obvious reason why I still visit the arcade: I don't drink. Unintentional, but they've helped me stay completely dry throughtout my teenage and young adult life. Why didn't I move on to bars and clubs like my peers?….because I was having too much fun in the arcade!

I've had people try and convince me to turn my place into a bar since before I started. But I've never had any interest in opening up a bar, I wanted to own an arcade.

What a surprise – information on a downturn in attendance and it gets more coverage than the news of SEGA's increase in amusement business!!? Any chance you guys will cover the Namco news of amusement business up?
Let's call a spade a spade – the news of the AG version of Tekken7 and CvT (TvC) – the news about GRID, and the news about the 'secret' Konami AG release, all impact downward sales of consumer games and news of crumbling studio employment situation internationally.
Do you guys really think that openly slagging amusement will stop the slide – or is there just anger that AG may make a comeback?

Patty's Turn: New Book, by Mother of Actress Tammy Blanchard, Exposes Lifetime of Harrowing Abuse & Empowers Bold Transition from Victim to Victor
Image November 1, 2014 admin Leave a comment
Written from the heart and experiences of Patty Blanchard, 'Patty's Turn: It took faith, courage and the love of her children to save her from attempted murder' sees the author piece together her memories following almost six-decades of abuse at the hands of parents, siblings and lovers. Blanchard's survival is nothing short of a miracle and, by sharing her story, she hopes to empower millions of abused women to take a stance against their malefactors and embark on their own journey to a better life.
Bayonne, NJ — (ReleaseWire) — 11/1/2014 — Memoirs about abuse are certainly not rare, but hardly any span a lifetime and come from the family members of those in the public eye. Tammy Blanchard may be known to audiences and critics around the world, but her mother Patty has kept quiet about her own life, until now.
'Patty's Turn: It took faith, courage and the love of her children to save her from attempted murder' fuses a tragic life story with an inspirational message of hope.Synopsis:
This is the memoir of Patty Blanchard, one of 14 children raised in a tough Jersey City family during the 1950s. Patty survived many things during her childhood, but it was the attempted murder she experienced as a mother-of-three that helped her discover what courage, faith and the love of family is really all about.
"I start right at the beginning, aged four years old and at the hands of a physically-abusive mother who had six kids packed into a cramped Jersey City flat without enough beds, clothes and often just stale pieces of bread for dinner," explains Blanchard. "My baby sister died of Croup and I became the punching bag for my mother's grief, who physically and mentally abused me for the next decade and a half. We also lost a brother, Arthur, who was murdered at fourteen. I left home and married an older man when I was just seventeen. This was my ticket to a new life, or so I thought."
Continuing, "He and my next husband abused me. At the age of thirty-two I packed up my belongings, my kids and we set off on my promise of a better life. Things were looking up as I built a successful cleaning business from the ground up and was both confident and independent for the first time in my life. I was determined to stay away from abusers. But at the age of thirty-five I found myself fighting for my life, with multiple hammer wounds and being left for dead. Somehow, through the grace of faith and love of my children, I survived."
Patty didn't write her book for commercial gain. In fact, it started as personal therapy.
"My therapist asked me to write down my thoughts and memories as they came back to me. I did this for years but didn't ever read my notes back. Over twelve years I accumulated more than four-hundred pages and the power of my words caused me to break down when finally reading them. I decided to compile them into a book to help others facing the demons of abuse. If I can help just one person avoid a life like mine, then I'll see it as a huge success."
Since its release, the book has garnered a string of rave reviews. Charlotte McNamara comments, "I absolutely loved this book! The writer was very brave, honest and real. Some like to portray" our lives to be perfect. Some of us like to read what really happens in someone's life, whether good or not so good. This writer however captured my soul. Reading of her childhood and through her life was a heartfelt and left me in tears. Tears for that little girl, tears for that struggling teen …tears for all the other women who can't tell their story, but sometimes can identify with some things in her book."
River View Observer adds, "An excellent read -a real page turner about an American family and a young woman's abusive life and triumphant return from an attempted murder on her life by a former spouse. Ms. Blanchard has created a road map for women looking to move past abusive relationships to a place of empowerment."

F1 tweaks penalty rules to curb qualifying no-shows
By: Harry Mattocks
The FIA has made changes to the way that penalties will be applied to Formula 1 grids next season, which will attempt to encourage drivers with penalties to take part in qualifying.
This past year, drivers with a penalty of 15 places or higher were automatically placed at the back of the grid, and then the penalties were applied in the order of when the offence was committed. This however led to drivers waiting for long amounts of time at the end of the pitlane in a practice session, so that their penalty could be applied first - the penalty is given as soon as a new power unit element is used on track.
The worst example of this was at the Russian GP, when four cars were waiting at the pitlane exit to get out on track. To prevent this from happening in 2019, penalised drivers will instead line up on the grid in the order in which they qualified. This means that drivers should have an incentive to go out and set a competitive qualifying time, so that they start a bit higher up on the grid.
The FIA has also clarified that any driver who is outside the 107% rule and is allowed to start will be placed at the back, behind any drivers with power unit penalties.
In other changes to the sporting regulations confirmed by the World Motor Sport Council on Wednesday, teams will now have to ensure that fuel handling procedures are the same for testing as they are at race events. This is because FIA observers have seen that although the rules put in place after the Williams garage fire in 2012 have been obeyed at races, the same cannot be said for tests.

Thats nice and all, but how about tweaking the actual engine penalties rather than the way they are applied?

Just stop with driver penalties for non driving problems. How can the FIA not hear the fans asking over and over to end this stupidity? It makes the drivers championship meaningless.

i bought the bundle online but when I got to the store the only thing i got was the machine. No games as advertised online so I am. Not very happy.
I have already brought games through Xbox live, love that I dont have to have to have the disc for those games, games were old school games remastered - just amazing!!! awesome graphics, slim design. The pit definitely is you have to load your games then put in the disc each time you play, takes lots of room on the internal hard drive.
Got this as a Christmas present for myself. Was money well spent. Have def got my money's worth out of it.
Our Grandson loves his new XBoxOne.
Great product no faults, got a great bargain with it on Boxing Day.
faulty xbox replaced by Warehouse easy!
Brought one of these and it had a noisy fan, google search revealed that this was a known issue and not all units were affected. Factory reset and returned to the Warehouse for a replacement with my fingers crossed! Replacement was easy, my local store called another store to hold a unit for me as they had sold out. Up and running again in no time, staff was helpful. Xbox now quiet as a whisper and game on!


Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a death at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge in Jackson County.
Indiana Conservation Officers were called to the scene late Wednesday night.
They found 45-year-old Jeff Rottet, of Huntingburg. He had been deer hunting when he died of what appears to be medical complications.
An autopsy was performed Thursday morning at Schneck Memorial Hospital and an official cause of death was determined. According to the Jackson County Coroner, Rottet died as a result of cardiac arrest.
Just before 7 p.m., Conservation Officers, along with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department and Jackson County EMS, responded to the Refuge, outside of Seymour.
Rottet, who had been hunting separately, was to reunite with a group of hunters, but failed to return to their vehicle.
Rottet was found by his friends, unresponsive and taken from the woods by EMS personnel.

Home Opinions Emmerdale Opinions: Matty and Ryan: Why representation matters!
Emmerdale LGBT & Disabled Characters – Representation Matters!
Welcome to Emmerdale, Matty and Ryan.
Serial dramas often break new television ground and Emmerdale is no different, and not afraid to ruffle a few feathers in the process. In an age where audiences demand representation on prime time TV, groups who in the past have been under-represented are finding their stories finally being told.
Within a month, Emmerdale creatives took two decisive and important casting decisions in 2018 that sent a seismic shift in representation on British screens. With Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) making his entrance into the village and Ryan Stocks (James Moore) rocking Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) world, re-entering her life on a park bench, this duo are representing something profound – an LGBT and disability focus on screen. Emmerdale has not honed in on the obvious storyline direction but have instead focused on creating well rounded characterisation for Matty and Ryan, which has proved vital in how the two are portrayed.
Thurs 12 July 2018 – 8pm: Moira Dingle rushes in but it's clear Matty Barton doesn't want her there.
Viewers saw Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb) struggle with Matty's transition – having previously identified as Hannah, consistently mis-gendering her son, before finding her feet and connecting with Matty, with eventual acceptance.
However, seeing Matty's struggle on screen exposes the broader audience to the problems and issues brought about by transitioning, including how society wrongly stereotypes the community.
Matty's arrival is more immediate and important as any casting decision in recent decades. It is vital that their voices are heard, given some countries are stripping the rights of transgender people, and there is a fundamental lack of mainstream education and awareness in the UK about the Trans community. Emmerdale viewers are not solely confined to the British Isles, and to see a transgender character brilliantly played by actor Ash Palmisciano, it's value to society and to the wider fandom is immeasurable.
Ash is using his newfound voice to not only tackle stereotypes but shatter misconceptions through Instagram and his social media accounts with Twitter followers replying he and Matty have made them feel less alone and less stigmatised.
As the soaps first transgender actor, Palmisciano has given a much needed voice in an industry that has a lot of work to do to include transgender characters in the first place. Where opportunities are limited at best to showcase their talents, his casting provides more evidence of an industry finally waking up.
The same can also be said for James Moore's casting as Ryan Stocks. In an industry that often fails disability representation, Emmerdale has redefined the serial drama landscape.
In a country made up of an estimated 12-13 million disabled people, this community is one of the most under represented across the main broadcasting channels. According to a 2017 report on representation, disabled actors/performers count for only 6.5% of on-screen talent across major broadcasters.
In an environment where disabled people are seen to be demonised and marginalised in society, James's casting cannot have come at a more heightened time to try and shift the societal narrative.
The Cheltenham based actor has faced some backlash with some viewers even mocking him, stating they cannot watch him without subtitles which only further reinforces the dire need for disabled characters. Moore did respond to those unjust criticisms in spectacular style on BBC Radio Leeds breakfast show, citing a change of culture is needed.
Fri 28 Dec 2018: Harriet Finch wants to track down Dawn. Will Ryan succeed in helping to find her?
To build the characterisation around Ryan's personality and his love of all things heavy mental, already shifts the audience perception to the point that his disability in effect becomes secondary. Where you see the person before the disability, that's an incredible facet of how Emmerdale have gone about framing Ryan.
As with Matty's arrival in Emmerdale, Ryan's has seen people across the audience come together and support each other, helping those who have experienced disability and transphobia in their lives. They have stated they feel, through Ryan and Matty's inclusion, that the communities involved have been given a bigger voice and no longer feel isolated. That's why disability and trans representation matters so people feel included and less alone, it's not an Emmerdale vanity (no, not that one) project.
This is the unique framework serial dramas have in that they really do have enormous sway and power to kick start conversations, shift long standing perceptions and stereotypes, and really challenge society's view on a whole manner of issues. Emmerdale is no different and allowing people to feel accepted and represented through Ryan and Matty cannot be underestimated enough.
Follow Matty and Ryan's story on Emmerdale, ITV every week night at 7pm with an additional episode at 8pm on Thursday.


Scott and Stonebridge emerge from the wreckage of the helicopter crash. Left with no other choice, they leave Locke's body and flee into the Swiss Alps. Scott and Stonebridge argue about their next course of action -- Scott wants to go back and fight, but Stonebridge, knowing they're outnumbered, emphasizes escaping with their lives. The pair meets an Austrian man who allows them to use his phone, which Scott uses to call Christy. Over drinks, Stonebridge discusses the life he might have had if he weren't a soldier. The man gifts Scott and Stonebridge a stick of dynamite and an old motorcycle. Meanwhile, Mason, Faber and a team or mercenaries track the pair. They find the Austrian man and torture him for information.
In a dam, Scott and Stonebridge uncover a safe, which they are disappointed to find empty of weapons. A swarm of enemies approach and the guys use the dynamite stick to defend themselves while laying low inside the safe. As shots ring out, Scott and Stonebridge leap from the dam into churning water below. Scott is hit and Stonebridge tends to his wound. The pair separate and are both able to fight off attackers, even though doing so almost kills Scott.
Scott wakes up at Christy's place and the pair catch up. Later, Scott realizes that Christy is working with the mercenaries. She's shot and killed through the window. A full-scale attack breaks out. Stonebridge gets a knife through the hand while Scott is shot in the leg. Just when they think it's over, they see Faber with a white flag. Scott and Stonebridge invite the man into their hideout. Faber offers a chance to buy out Ridley -- for 2 million pounds. Offended that Faber assumed they've been stealing, Stonebridge takes him out. A shootout ensues, leaving Scott and Stonebridge's fates in jeopardy.
Stonebridge visits Ridley with the military metals of soldiers who sacrificed their lives -- among the names is Damien Scott. As he leaves, Stonebridge promises he will kill Ridley. Stonebridge visits Scott -- who is very much alive and planning a road trip to Vegas with Finn. Scott admits he has no idea what he will do next and the men part ways, each grateful to begin a new chapter.


As a hair stylist, you are probably used to customers walking in your salon, showing you images of celebrity runway hair colors that they want. Usually, you get a lot of customers asking for your suggestions as well. Your professional acumen may or may not have all the answers for your customers, but at least giving your best advice can be the solution. And therefore, we are giving you here, something more to work with.
We have selected three very trendy hair transformations by some very hard working artists using GKhair's Juvexin Cream Colors. You can have a look at the formulas and the techniques to replicate these looks, or innovate them further! There may be so many ways in which you've created lovely looks with these colors. However, these looks will probably give you a different perspective.
Who isn't a fan of bright red? Lately, it has been the talk of the town almost everywhere! Here you can see a lovely transformation carried out by Juanel Pacheco. To achieve these cherry red highlights, he used GKhair's Juvexin Lightening Powder+ for lightening the dark tones, and then used Juvexin Cream Color 5.56 for the base and Red Red Bombshell Color Masque, to enhance the highlights.
Coral may be a spin on Rose Gold but either way these tones have made it to the limelight and are here to stay! While there are many ways you can play around with these coral hues, we have chosen a fabulous transformation by Tricia Ostrom. For pre-lightening the hair, she used GKhair Juvexin Lightening Cream. To get the gorgeous color you see, she mixed Juvexin Cream Color 9.21 with hints of Red and Yellow Mixtones. Watch how Tricia created another lovely Rose Balayage, here!
We see so many pretty shades of blonde around. For this post however, we have chosen a lovely ash blonde balayage which Shelley Allanson created. For lightening, she used Miami Beach Bombshell Clay Lightening Powder which gives 8+ levels of lift and is perfect for removing brassy undertones from hair. She toned the transformation further with Juvexin Cream Color 10.12 and a dash of Violet Mixtone.
These are only three of the colors that rule the trend today and we don't see them going away for a long while. Apart from these, there are a number of other hair colors that we all dearly love! In our color line that has 87+ shades, we are sure you can find the exact shade you're looking for! Got a lovely look to share?

Q: Add a css class and remove it after a specified delay I want to show some activity on a div i am sing to show some recent information and i am doing that by giving the div a color depending on the kind of notification.
I am doing this
$("#ru").addClass("brc").delay(500).removeClass("brc");

Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/vCDAh/1/
Why is this not working?.

A: The delay function only applies to the animation queue (apart if you pass a queue you manage as second argument).
Here you must use setTimeout :
$("#ru").addClass("brc");
setTimeout(function() { $("#ru").removeClass("brc") }, 500);

A: From the jQuery API Site http://api.jquery.com/delay/

The .delay() method is best for delaying between queued jQuery
  effects. Because it is limited—it doesn't, for example, offer a way to
  cancel the delay—.delay() is not a replacement for JavaScript's native
  setTimeout function, which may be more appropriate for certain use
  cases.

In this case, adding classes is not an effect (and does not have a queue at all)
$("#ru").addClass("brc");

setTimeout(function() {
  $("#ru").removeClass("brc");
}, 500);

#3 is the one for me - the small catchlight in the eye gives real character.
I like the experimental lighting position in the last photo. It is a neat idea and one to continue the experimenting with.
Kathy you are getting really good at this!
#3 is my favourite also and I reiterate Johns advice on #4 lovely lighting.
You have just the best model.
Kathy, nice series, getting better by the day. One question though... why are you shooting at ISO 100? I would shoot at about ISO 200, so I could close my aperture to about f6.7 or f8, and decrease my shutter to about 1/125. Giving Shelby a little more focus room to be in. BTW, love the fourth one.
Thanks All for your feedback !!!
Robin, thanks for the suggestions. We are going to play Photographer/Model today so I will put them to use !!
It's nice you have such a great model anytime you want.
All this practice is paying off Kathy.
