BMW M5 previous generation is still quite popular among fans of the Bavarian car brand, and it is for these people were developed by the company's latest project Enlaes. "Charged" sedan got an aerodynamic body kit called EGTS60 and spectacular set of wheels. All this is accompanied by some technical improvements, although the 507-hp powerplant cars this time left without major modifications.

Study shows the use of Internet-based tools can guide decision making in the treatment of multiple myeloma
Clinical Care Options (CCO), the leading provider of clinical educational content and technological learning and information platforms, along with the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine, will present key findings on the ability of an online point-of-care decision support tool to affect the care of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in a poster presentation at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Francisco. The presentation, "Clinical Impact of an Internet-Based Tool to Provide Expert Guidance for Multiple Myeloma (MM) From 2012 to 2014," will be given Saturday December 6 from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM in Hall E of Moscone Center North.
The study, supported by unrestricted educational grants from Celgene Corporation and Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, provides compelling evidence of specific practice gaps among physicians caring for patients with MM that directed the design of an interactive decision support tool to help guide therapeutic approaches. In addition to the presentation at ASH, the abstract was also published in the November 14 supplemental issue of Blood. The presentation was authored by: Kenneth Anderson, MD, Harvard Medical School, Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Andrew D. Bowser, ELS, CCMEP, CCO; Erik Brady, PhD, CCMEP, CCO; Davecia R. Cameron, MS, CCO; Sagar Lonial, MD, The Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University; Amitabha Mazumder, MD, New York University Cancer Center; Jim Mortimer, CCO; Kevin L. Obholz, PhD, CCO.
Clinical practice guidelines in MM list multiple therapeutic choices, with similar levels of evidence, but frequently lack recommendations tailored for individual patient cases. The authors of the study sought to determine whether expert recommendations on MM treatment, based on specific disease and patient characteristics and delivered via an interactive online decision support tool, would affect the planned treatment decisions of community practitioners. The study showed that the majority of practitioners (71%) using the online decision support tool either confirmed or changed their planned treatment approaches for specific MM patient cases, suggesting that interactive tools offering expert recommendations can clarify selection of therapy in induction, maintenance, and relapsed/refractory settings for patients with MM.
"CCO is dedicated to helping clinicians make optimal treatment decisions through the combination of expert educational content and innovative technology," said Trish Bates Doolin, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CCO Oncology. "We are honored to have this important educational data from our program selected by the ASH committee and to be shared at the same venue with world-class clinical studies at the annual meeting."

Jen Psaki On Supply Chain Shortages Impacting U.S.: 'The Tragedy Of The Treadmill That's Delayed'
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared to joke about supply chain issues currently impacting the U.S. economy during Tuesday's press briefing.
Psaki made the remark when asked a question from a reporter about the actions that President Joe Biden has taken on the issue.
"It was clear in March of 2020 when COVID hit that the supply chains across the world had been disrupted, even as the sort of work to fight back against COVID proceeded," the reporter said. "People, it was, it was crystal clear that things were not improving on supply chains. You couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things. So why is–"
"The tragedy of the treadmill that's delayed," Psaki quipped.
REPORTER: So just a question on the timing on the supply chain issue —
PSAKI: Yeah.
REPORTER: — actions that the President has taken. It was clear in March of 2020, when COVID hit, that the supply chains across the world had been disrupted. Even as the sort of work to fight back against COVID proceeded, people — it was crystal clear that things were not improving on supply chain. People couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things. So why is it —
MS. PSAKI: The tragedy of the treadmill that's delayed.
REPORTER: Right, the tread — the problem. But serious — the serious point is: Why didn't the President act sooner in a more aggressive way? I know there was a task force announced at some time this — earlier this summer, but essentially, the President waited until, you know, now — right before the holiday season — to take these series of actions.
Why didn't the President act sooner? And is that a reflection of the fact that his administration has failed to kind of anticipate and is much more reactive to these kinds of things rather than getting ahead of them, as they should?
PSAKI: Well, that's not actually true. The President formed of task force at the very beginning of the administration. And what we know from the global supply chain issues is that they are multifaceted.
Right now, we've been focusing on the ports and issues at the ports. And what leaders at these ports will tell you is that they've seen an increase in volume dramatically, as it relates to last year — a year ago — 20 percent, 30 percent increase in volume.
But there are other issues that have impacted the global supply chain that we've been working to address through our task force from the beginning. One of them is the fact that manufacturing sites around the world have been shut down because of COVID.
We've been working to be the largest supplier of COVID vaccines to countries around the world for a range of reasons: It's morally right, but also to help address those global supply chain issues and the impact that manufacturing and the slowdown in manufacturing can have on the global supply chain.
Another issue that people will tell you and you've done some reporting on — many of you — is the shortage of drivers that we've — we have seen. And there's been some reporting on it recently, but this has been an issue throughout the course of the year. The DMV, as they — has expedited their approval of commercial driver's licenses. In 2021, an average of 50,000 commercial driver's licenses and learning permits have been issued each month, 60 percent higher than 2021 numbers.
We've also been working with unions to help address the shortages of workers, whether they are at — they are at ports or whether they are driving issues or other components that impact the supply chain.
So, I think the important thing to understand here is that there are multiple issues that are impacting the supply chain. And some of that is that, as the economy has turned back on, more people had expendable income — wages — to buy more goods. More people are buying more goods. People have started to also buy more things online than going into stores. And so that is also impacting the volume, and there's a need for more.
So, we've been working on this since February, and we've seen the uptick perhaps related to the fact that, this season, sometimes people are buying even more goods. But we've been working on it since February.

Eastern Oregon Livestock Show grounds to get new outdoor lighting
By ISABELLA CROWLEY The Observer

UNION — The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show grounds will be getting new outdoor lighting thanks to a combination of grants, fundraising, donations and the Wildhorse Foundation.
The outdoor lighting system at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show grounds is 40 years old, according to a press release. The system is outdated and replacement lights for the fixtures are no longer available.
A new lighting system offers a lot of benefits over the current outdoor lights.
The newer technology would lower energy consumption by around 85% in comparison to the current system, the release said. It offers increased illumination of the arena and track, which provides enhanced safety for both livestock and athletes.
"The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show is important to the fabric of our community," the release reported. "The show that happens the first full week in June was voted number one Small Rodeo of the Year for the Columbia River Circuit 2022."
A new outdoor lighting system would also allow the arena to be used more throughout the year, according to the press release. Another advantage would be that a new system would need less maintenance than the current system, which further helps reduce costs.
According to the release, the overall cost of the lighting project is estimated at $168,000. The EOLS raised more than $100,000 through grants, fundraising and non-monetary donations.
The Wildhorse Foundation awarded $20,000 to help install the new exterior lighting, according to the press release. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation established the Wildhorse Foundation as a community benefit fund for projects relating to public health and safety, education, arts, historic preservation, gambling addiction services, salmon restoration, environmental protection and cultural activities.
"We are so grateful to the Wildhorse Foundation for helping us with this project," the release said.

Drawbacks of Marker Interface Design Pattern.
A marker interface is a design pattern consisting in an interface with no methods declared. All the classes implementing this interface don't have to implement a method for the interface(since it doesn't have an interface), but we can say that the classes implementing the interfaces are marked. For example in Java we have the Serializable interface. It is a Marker Interface, when we create a class in order to mark it as a serializable class, it will implement the serializable, so everyone using it will know that the class is serializable.
–	All the subclasses implement a marker, and there is not option to unmark a subclass. For example if the base class is marked as Serializable all the subclasses will be marked as Serializable and there is no option to unmark them by "unimplementing" the Interface.
–	It is dangerous to have several levels of markers (Let's say we need XmlSerializable and BinarySerializable both extending Serializable). What is a class which is not XmlSerializable? Is it BinarySerializable or NotSerializable?
Starting with Java 1.5 annotations and attributes in .NET can be used instead of Marker Design Pattern. Annotations can be accessed using reflection and can be used to mark not only Classes but also Methods and Attributes.

NYC Baby Sitter Pleads Guilty to Torturing 17-Month-Old Boy to Death
Injuries covered all of the boy's body with the exception of his feet, prosecutors said

Baby Killed on Staten Island Was Beaten Repeatedly, Slammed to Ground: Prosecutors
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/Baby-Sitter-Torture-Child-Infant-Gloria-Fields-New-York-Staten-Island-478551943.html
Gloria Fields pleaded not guilty to murder, assault and sex abuse charges. Ida Siegal reports. (Published Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2016)
A 32-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for torturing and killing a 17-month-old Staten Island boy she had been babysitting two years ago, authorities said Monday.
Gloria Fields, who had initially pleaded not guilty in the February 2016 death of Anthony Delgado, changed that plea to guilty in Staten Island Supreme Court Monday and faces up to life in prison when she is sentenced later this month.
Authorities say the boy's mother left him with Fields, a neighbor, for the weekend starting Friday, Feb. 19, 2016. Two days later, Fields texted the boy's mother saying he fell. When she brought him home, he was bruised and unconscious. An autopsy showed he died of blunt force injuries.
Prosecutors had said Fields systematically tortured little Delgado, slamming his head on the ground while he was strapped in a stroller, shaking him and sexually abusing him with a pencil -- so much so that he had lacerations to his anus and perforated internal organs. Injuries covered all of the boy's body with the exception of his feet, prosecutors said.

"This defendant tortured and killed a 17-month-old boy who was left under her care, showing a cruel and inhuman disregard for life. Her guilty plea to first-degree murder ensures that she stays behind bars for her sickening crimes and is never allowed to do harm to another innocent child," Staten Island District Attorney Michael E. McMahon said in a statement. "No family should ever have to experience the loss of a child in this way, and the entire DA's office continues to send our thoughts and prayers to the family of the victim."

Q: Flask send_file as attachment the file download but ajax success function has no response I'm creating a YouTube Video Downloader for which I use flask for the backend. I send an ajax request to the flask in return a flask return file which by default set to download. The file starts downloading but the problem is that there is no responseText or statusCode in the success function in ajax
Ajax Function which I used to work in the same way as jquery ajax  does

My Ajax code is
    let formData = new FormData(downloadform);
    ajax({
      url: '/download',
      method: "POST",
      data: formData,
      onprogress: () => {
        download_loadingBtn.style.display = "block";
        downloadBtn.style.display = "none";
      },
      onsuccess: (responseText, status, statusText) => {
        download_loadingBtn.style.display = "none";
        downloadBtn.style.display = "block";
        console.log(responseText, status, statusText);
      },
      onfailure: (status, statusText) =>{
        console.log(status, statusText);
      }
    })

My Flask code  is
@app.route("/download", methods = ["GET", "POST"])
def download_video():
    if request.method == "POST":
        buffer = BytesIO()
        url = YouTube(session['link'])
        itag = request.form.get("itag")
        video = url.streams.get_by_itag(itag)
        video.stream_to_buffer(buffer)
        buffer.seek(0)
        return send_file(buffer, as_attachment=True, download_name=url.title, mimetype="video/mp4")

I also tried to return an object with some response text and send_file() such as
return jsonify({
       "text": "successfully downloaded",
       "download_file": send_file(buffer, as_attachment=True, download_name=url.title, mimetype="video/mp4")
})

but that also gives an error i.e. TypeError: Object of type Response is not JSON serializable

Also a couple of cosmetic enhancements. I managed to find a UK supplier of Fender brown barrel knobs which I feel will look better with the brown tolex than the blackface skirted knobs.
Lake Placid Blue - snog, marry or avoid?
I recently had the opportunity to demo the one of the latest American Vintage Telecasters and was really attracted to the striking Lake Placid Blue '64 model. On the face of it a great guitar that sounds fantastic – and so it should be at the price. I couldn't help feeling though that overall quality was not what I had expected (e.g. noticeable gap down one side of the neck and socket) and I was suspicious of some of the marketing blurb – 'flash coat nitro'??
I left the shop convinced that I could easily build a higher quality guitar for half the price…. 'Made in England'.
I favour lightly 'aged' guitars so I set about sourcing a nitro finished body in Lake Placid Blue and after a conversation with Paul at Retro169, I had a nice looking body delivered 5 weeks later.
Next the choice of neck – Historic early 60's model – which I set about aging myself, and to give the guitar a twist I decided on a tortoishell pickguard rather than the obvious white.
Sometimes I build a guitar around a set of pickups or vibe that I am trying to create. I have not worked with blue before and don't want the guitar to look like Frankenstein, so this time am pausing to consider the relative parts and how well they visually integrate before sourcing appropriate hardware.
I would love your feedback…..


BLACKTHORNE ! Super Nintendo SNES Complete in Box CIB *Authentic* *Tested* MINT!
The second title to be released in the series and the first to be designed to take advantage of the Game Boy Color's more varied palette, Game & Watch Gallery 2 presents players with Modern and Classic incarnations of five Game & Watch titles: "Chef," "Parachute," "Donkey Kong," "Vermin," and "Helmet." The Classic versions of each game emulate the play found in the original titles, while the Modern variations add new gameplay elements as they place familiar Nintendo characters (as opposed to Mr. Game & Watch) in precarious situations.
"Chef" sees players trying to continuously balance various food items using two frying pans. The objective here is to ensure that food does not fall on the floor or get snatched by a cat lurking above. In "Parachute," players attempt to maneuver a small rowboat across the screen, catching parachutists as they fall from the sky. Reminiscent of the NES title of the same name, "Donkey Kong" requires players to save the princess from the barrel-hurling simian by avoiding traps and unhooking the cable supports of the platform on which he rests.
"Vermin" has players trying to stave off the advances of numerous moles by simply hitting them on the head with a mallet as they emerge from the ground. As a hapless worker in "Helmet," players must avoid falling objects while making for the safety of a shed. The door will at times remain shut, forcing players to dodge objects until it opens again. In many of the titles, failing three times will see the game end. Accruing points in each of the games will reward diligent players with stars that can in turn be used to unlock extra content such as a sixth hidden Game & Watch title and museum and sound modes.
Play five different Game & Watch titles: "Chef," "Parachute," "Donkey Kong," "Vermin" and "Helmet"
I give this game 5 out of 5 stars? Why? Because I love the original Game & Watch games produced from Nintendo. They were extremely fun for games produced in the the 1980's. This game for the gameboy system allows you to play many of the old classics that Nintendo first produced. Its AMAZING. It also re-creates the games to more modern day play. It's really fun. Even has Donkey Kong and Mario. It's one of those games that you can come back and fourth too, trying to beat your old score. It's not one of those games that you will just get bored of, and toss in the back of your closest. You want a game that you can play over and over again for hours? Then Buy this item from Nintendo! EXCELLENT!
Hi!! I'm 25, and i just LOVE gameboy, since the first model got out, also I had the Donkey Kong II handheld game there in early '90 . I'm from Croatia, and people here aren't really using gameboys because they have always been very expensive. Since I'm a member of eBay, I got the chance to buy it for a small sume of money, and I just had to have it.. :-) Only thing I dislike about it is that it doesn't have a lighted screen(outer,original light is an option), but I already found some used, cheap Advance SP models, and I will go for it, and my nephews will get the advance because they LOVE IT).. Nintendo is the best game console manufacturer, and if you got any modell you won't regreat it.. ever.. so.. just....prepare to want one!!!! :-D ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The box looks like barely out of the store and i love they put a plasti protection on the box.
Game boy chip the kids love. Clean fun for the kids.
I bid on this game knowing I would not have to check out what my kids were playing. This is a good clean game for my kids to play. I have 5 kids and all of them can have fun playing it. It is good for any age child.
Must play if into Game & Watch games.
I use to collect game & watch games, and I know up to this day they are worth a lot and antiques. This just brings it back old school and revamped fun games to play and kills time on the fly.

Post-Industrial Cosmology: The Hangover Review
Relativistic hedonism could be described as the perennial philosophy of our age, contrary to the word of the Second Vatican Council, and this being so, then perhaps the meaningless debauchery of The Hangover is nothing less than the practical application of our common wisdom; and it is through this lens that I have come to see that perhaps The Hangover is a model for post-industrialist cosmology, a myth explaining the workings of the absurd universe as it exists cut up from all influence and origins: One must only consider two things: It is in Vegas, away from the consequences of their past lives and reputations, and the main action of the film occurs without memory of the cause, such that we are left only with the effects, the pure mechanisms of the universe, the motion, as it were, without the push.
So what is the primordial stuff of which the universe is made, according to the film? Chaos, of course. Vulgarity, crime, and rudeness in such huge proportions that, as the protagonists saw, if they are to let themselves run without their conscious faculties, they will more likely end up tossed around in meaningless, violent absurdity than dead. Obviously, there is no profound message to be found in The Hangover, and this lack leads us to its single assertion: Reason is undone. Somewhere, sometime, humans were left to their freedom, and succeeding this, between two points is not a determinate line but a scattered path of tigers, retired boxers, babies, lost teeth, strippers, Chinese gangsters, and so forth; and from this unruly universe, as the dictum goes: Hilarity ensues.
An eight out of ten.

Indian Scientists develops a next generation clean energy technology
A supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton test loop facility has been developed at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. Scientists claim that the technology has the potential to replace nuclear and thermal power plants. The loop technology could vastly reduce the water consumption, with less emissions of greenhouse gases.

A supercritical carbon dioxide is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at, or above its critical temperature (304.25 k/ 31.10°C) and critical pressure (72.9 atm / 7.39 MPa / 1071 psi). A Brayton cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the working of a constant pressure heat engine.
In the supercritical state, carbon dioxide expands like a gas with the density of a liquid, thus pumping power needed for the compressor is reduced significantly. Combining the supercritical carbon dioxide and Brayton cycle would dramatically increase the energy conversion efficiency.
The research group at Interdisciplinary center for energy research (ICER) at IISc. Bangalore has set up a S-CO2 Brayton cycle based solar thermal test loop at the laboratory scale. The group has also developed thermodynamic cycle designs, heat transfer and fluid codes for designing the test loop.
Thermal Power plants use steam to generate power, but with supercritical CO2 which is a working fluid, rather than steam it could generate more power. Efficiency could be increased by 50 % or more.
Indian scientists have developed this technology that would help generation of clean energy from power plants including solar thermal. This next generation technology has been developed at IISc. Bangalore.
The technology developed is the first such technology, and a test bed of India for next generation, efficient, compact, waterless supercritical loop for power generation. This is the first technology of test loop coupled with solar heat source in the world.
The energy needs of the country are rapidly increasing. India is aiming for renewable energy generation of 175 GW by 2022, for clean energy production. Now this research and early stage developments of the technology would be beneficial to meet the energy demands of the country.
Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Science & Technology Minister, inaugurated the facility. He said," I am sure all these intense scientific efforts and collective endeavors would enable us to realize the vision of affordable, efficient, compact and reliable clean energy systems which will be robust and suitable in diverse geographic conditions. We will be facilitating all such efforts and complementing and supplementing both in terms of technical knowledge and finances, wherever required."
He further added that this breakthrough research would be a game changer to meet the energy needs of the country, with higher efficiency and capacity, and low operating costs and size. This development will result in demonstration of state of the art tool, techniques and product which are of critical importance for our energy security.
The Supercritical Carbon dioxide Brayton cycle test loop facility is already being identified as a national initiative for development of next generation solar thermal power plants. This would give India the opportunity to become a world leader in the technology and also fulfil one the objectives of National solar mission.

Three cheers to IISc Bengaluru. Very few institutions like IISc in India are engaged in research and are doing excellent work. Our Industry leaders and Universities should provide the facilities and encourage the younger generation for research-which would benefit the country immensely.


Kia Ora Whanau. Anna Frost is arguably the most successful trail and ultra running export New Zealand has produced and the person Eugene and Matt both had at the top of their "must talk to" lists from day one. Anna burst onto the scene in what was the first wave of the professional ultra athlete, running for the mighty Salomon team. Going from spending weeks travelling around Europe partying and sleeping in the back of a station wagon to pulling on the white strip and racing for a European giant, Anna was catapulted into the media at the same time as other famous names such as Anton Krupicka, Scott Jurek,Geoff Roes and others. International success came however with not an inconsiderable amount of challenge for Anna. Fast forward ten years and Anna is now running for Merrell and co owns Trail Run Adventures with her husband, which brings people to beautiful parts of the world for trail running trips. We spoke to Anna via phone from her home town of Dunedin, where she is enjoying a much welcomed rest and awaiting the arrival of the couple's first baby. Anna talks candidly, openly, and movingly about her journey with running, the successes and costs, and her abiding love for the sport. This was a true highlight for us and we are thankful for having the opportunity to speak to one of the legends of our sport. Enjoy!

Two solicitors have been struck off for dishonestly obtaining rail travel without paying – one a newly qualified barely a year into his career and the other who had not practised since soon after he qualified almost 15 years earlier.
The young solicitor, Adam Kemeny, saved paying up to £650 in rail fares over a three-month period between July and October 2017 by declining to buy £11 tickets for his morning commutes from London and failing to 'tap out' at his destination in Surrey.
He did pay for the much cheaper return journeys.
Mr Kemeny, who was born in 1985 and admitted in 2016, self-reported his misconduct after reaching a private settlement to pay the rail company, Govia Thameslink, £650 in outstanding fares and £200 in costs.
He was summarily dismissed by his firm. Since then, he was worked in-house and more recently as an e-discovery document reviewer – he had needed a practising certificate to get the work, but he did not practise as a solicitor in the role.
He told the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal that he was deeply embarrassed by his actions. He explained that failing to swipe in at Redhill Station became a "habit he could not stop".
The tribunal determined that Mr Kemeny chose not to pay the fares and could afford to buy the tickets. His salary as a solicitor was £38,000 a year and his bank account was in credit for much of the material period.
It held he was wholly culpable for what had occurred. The misconduct was "deliberate and calculated or repeated". He had only come clean after he was caught.
He had also been "somewhat evasive" under cross-examination. No exceptional circumstances applied and strike-off was the only appropriate sanction. He was ordered to pay £3,082 costs.
Meanwhile, Babatunde Adegboyega Taiwo was a manager for Transport for London (TfL) in January 2016 when he was found by inspectors to have been travelling between King's Cross and his home in Peterborough using concessionary staff travel cards that were not to be used either by him or for work-related journeys.
Among other things, Mr Taiwo was accused of dishonestly altering the date on one of the cards to mislead the rail company it was valid.
He qualified in 2001 via the then Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test and not practised since September 2002.
He was summarily dismissed by TfL for breach of contract.
Striking him off, the tribunal said that although he had no practical experience as a solicitor, he was known to be one and had "departed from the complete integrity, probity and trustworthiness expected of a solicitor to a considerable extent".
He was ordered to pay £4,400 in costs.

At FirstRand Limited's AGM on 28 November 2019, a total of 99.9% of shareholders voted in favour of a climate risk shareholder resolution that requires the bank to adopt and disclose a policy on fossil fuel lending by end October 2020.
FirstRand is the second South African company to table climate risk-related shareholder resolutions. The first was Standard Bank in April 2019. Unlike the Standard Bank board, the FirstRand board endorsed the resolution (ordinary resolution 6) and was almost unanimously supported in its recommendation.
Ordinary resolution 6 was one of two resolutions co-filed by the RAITH Foundation and shareholder activist non-profit Just Share. If adopted, the second resolution (ordinary resolution 5) would have required the bank to assess and report on its exposure to climate-related risks by end October 2020. While resolution 5 received a high level of shareholder support (33%), ordinary resolutions require more than 50% of shareholder votes to be passed. As a result, resolution 5 was not passed.
However, Chairman Roger Jardine reiterated the company's assertion in its Notice of AGM that FirstRand "does not disagree with RAITH and Just Share on the principle of increased disclosure, only on the timeframe".
In response to a question from RAITH's Executive Director, Audrey Elster, as to when the bank would commit to reporting on its exposure to climate-related risks, Jardine promised that a "full roadmap for FirstRand's climate risk disclosure" would be published next year.
Tracey Davies, director of Just Share, says: "We commend the FirstRand board for tabling the resolutions – a clear acknowledgement of the material financial risk that climate change poses – and for endorsing resolution 6. While we accept that there are complexities in disclosing climate risk exposure, it is disappointing that the board did not endorse resolution 5, and that the majority of shareholders followed the board's recommendation to vote against the resolution."
This week, the United Nations Environment Programme released its "Emissions Gap Report" which shows that we are rapidly approaching the point at which we will no longer be able to limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C. The report emphasises that "countries must increase their NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) ambitions threefold to achieve the well below 2°C goal and more than fivefold to achieve the 1.5°C goal", and that "decarbonizing the global economy will require fundamental structural changes".
Davies says: "The South African financial sector is waking up to the realities of climate risk, but the pace at which it is adapting to manage this risk is still far too slow. Shareholders must accept that the scale of the crisis we face, and the pace at which we need to change to address it, requires them to think critically about the issue, and not simply defer to management".

If possible, buy in large quantities when you find a fantastic sale of non-perishable products. You should only charge purchases on your credit card that can be paid each time the bill arrives. It is very important to identify start-up costs to know the sales income necessary to pay for the small business's ongoing expenses.
You are bad with money because you have no moderation or self-control. You can keep your money under control so you can achieve your financial goals. In order to gain a reputation as a superior credit risk, you will have to borrow some money and return it. There are consequences, your credit may take a while to get a result. Beyond establishing a large credit, determining whether a debt is good or bad will depend on your financial situation and particular circumstance. On the surface, a car loan looks bad.
The trick to balancing a budget is to reduce the unnecessary spending of the credits in order to be sure that there are sufficient funds to pay the debits. Actually, acquiring a budget for advertising is the best excuse to get rid of telemarketers trying to sell you marketing services. Establishing a budget is only the beginning, as will be seen in the next actions. The production budget includes most of the general accounts.
Each step has to be a website with its own URL. Next, you will discover the list of requirements that you will want to have before setting everything up. A simple search in the web of spy applications will reveal several applications with different expenses, simplicity of use and characteristics.
Yes, the preparation of a spreadsheet will be part of the procedure, but there is also much more. The Sage 300 ERP software gives you instant access to a large number of useful built-in reports that include the Tax Tracking report, which helps you maintain a tax tab in many ways. In the event that users wish to interrupt a specific delivery service, they can easily remove that specific support. An application can help you improve your credit score before making a large purchase, such as a house or a car. There are many applications for coupons for smartphones and many online websites that offer printable coupons. It is interesting to remember that the simple variant of the add-on offers a lot of features. You must decide which is the perfect complement for tracking the shipment by analyzing the needs of your company and the degree of customer satisfaction you want to find.
You can sell more products or new services. If an expected customer must complete a particular step in the funnel to complete the goal in our funnel display file, change the Required switch to Yes. Like people, companies have fico scores. Simply repeat each step on each child's device and you will be in business. The scale of your business may seem impossible, but one of the first areas to start is with your billing. More than a few companies give multiple discounts on vehicles or policies. As an example, let's say you have an e-commerce company that sells T-shirts.
If you need help setting up a budget, be sure to take a look at the budget collection. Getting a position to see your iMessages at no cost from your main device is beneficial! By getting involved in your accounting procedure, you will not only decrease the possibility of the theft of a bookkeeper, but you will also see if you are aware of what they are doing. It is truly amazing how many opportunities you have to reduce spending in order to save money. Therefore, the benefits of using web-based billing software are key to scaling up your billing models.

Los 25 primates en mayor peligro del mundo (The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates, en inglés) es una publicación que contiene una relación de especies de primates cuya conservación se encuentra altamente amenazada, seleccionadas y editadas por el Grupo de Especialistas en Primates de la Comisión de Supervivencia de Especies de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (conocida internacionalmente por sus siglas en inglés IUCN/SSC PSG), la Sociedad Primatológica Internacional (IPS) y Conservation International (CI). En el informe 2012-2014 se incorporó como editor la Bristol Conservation and Science Foundation (BCSF). La IUCN/SSC PSG trabajó conjuntamente con CI para crear la lista en el año 2000, pero en 2002, durante el 19.º Congreso de la Sociedad Primatológica Internacional, los primatólogos la revisaron, y acordaron la incorporación de la IPS al proyecto. La publicación es desde entonces un proyecto conjunto entre las tres organizaciones conservacionistas y ha sido revisada cada dos años, después del Congreso bienal de la IPS. Desde la publicación del informe de 2004-2006, lleva el título de Primates en peligro: Los 25 primates en mayor peligro del mundo (Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates). Aquel mismo año, la lista comenzó a proporcionar información sobre cada especie, incluyendo su estado de conservación y las amenazas a las que se enfrentan en la naturaleza. El texto de la publicación se redacta en colaboración con expertos de campo, con la participación de 60 personas en el informe de 2006-2008, y 85 en el informe de 2008-2010. Los informes de 2004-2006 y 2006-2008 fueron publicados en la revista Primate Conservation, de la IUCN/SSC PSG, mientras que los de 2008-2010 y 2010-2012 se hicieron a través de publicaciones independientes por parte de las tres organizaciones contribuyentes.

Las 25 especies incluidas en la publicación de 2012-2014 se distribuyen entre dieciséis países, y el mayor número de estas corresponde a Madagascar (seis), Vietnam (cinco) e Indonesia (tres). La lista está dividida en cuatro regiones distintas: la isla de Madagascar, el continente africano, el continente asiático (incluidas las islas de Indonesia) y el Neotrópico (América Central y del Sur). Cinco especies han aparecido en las siete listas publicadas hasta el año 2010: Propithecus candidus, Trachypithecus delacouri, Trachypithecus poliocephalus poliocephalus, Pygathrix cinerea y Rhinopithecus avunculus.

El objetivo de la lista, según Russell Mittermeier, presidente de Conservation International, «es resaltar la situación de aquellas [especies de primates] que enfrentan un riesgo mayor, para atraer la atención del público, estimular a los gobiernos nacionales para que realicen más acciones de conservación y especialmente obtener recursos para este fin». Las especies son seleccionadas para su inclusión en la lista basándose principalmente en dos motivos: tamaños demográficos muy pequeños y un rápido descenso en su número. Estos motivos están afectados en gran medida por la influencia de la destrucción de su hábitat y la caza, las dos mayores amenazas que se ciernen sobre los primates. Más específicamente, las amenazas citadas en el informe incluyen la deforestación causada por la agricultura de rozas y quema que se utiliza para despejar zonas boscosas para dedicarlas a pasto o tierras de labranza, la producción de carbón vegetal, la producción de leña, la industria maderera ilegal, la tala selectiva, la minería, la urbanización, la implantación de cultivos con fines comerciales, la fragmentación forestal, las poblaciones de pequeño tamaño, la captura de ejemplares vivos para el comercio de mascotas exóticas, la caza para obtención de carne y la medicina tradicional.

 Especies que figuraban en informes anteriores
Con cada nueva publicación se añaden o retiran especies de la lista. En algunos casos, la retirada de una especie de la lista es consecuencia de una mejora de su situación. Con la publicación del informe de 2006-2008, se quitaron cuatro especies de la lista debido al aumento de los esfuerzos en aras a su conservación: el tití león negro (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), el tamarino león dorado (Leontopithecus rosalia), el gorila de montaña (Gorilla beringei beringei) y el sifaca de Perrier (Propithecus perrieri). En 2008, el tití león negro pasó de una calificación de especie en peligro crítico de extinción a especie en peligro, al igual que el tamarino león dorado en 2003 después de tres décadas de esfuerzos colaborativos de conservación por parte de zoos y otras instituciones. Debido a la deforestación, las especies protegidas, como las que todavía tienen poblaciones muy pequeñas, todavía necesitan nuevos hábitats para su supervivencia a largo plazo. El gibón de Hainan (Nomascus hainanus), que fue retirado de la lista 2008-2010, todavía tiene menos de 20 individuos en libertad, pero se están realizando esfuerzos significativos para su protección. Mittermeier afirmó en 2007 que las 25 especies podrían retirarse de la lista en un plazo de cinco a diez años si las organizaciones conservacionistas contaran con los recursos necesarios.

A diferencia de los cambios en el informe 2006-2008, no todas las especies que se retiraron de la lista de 2008-2010 fue debido a la mejora de su situación; lo que se hizo fue añadir nuevas especies para llamar la atención de otras estrechamente relacionadas con poblaciones muy pequeñas que también están en peligro de extinción. Por ejemplo, el altamente en peligro gibón de cresta negra oriental (Nomascus nasutus) sustituyó al gibón de cresta negra de Hainan (Nomascus hainanus), y el loris perezoso de Java (Nycticebus javanicus) sustituyó a Loris tardigradus nycticeboides porque la población del primero declina rápidamente debido sobre todo a la captura de ejemplares vivos para el comercio de animales de compañía exóticos, así como su uso en la medicina tradicional y la pérdida de masa forestal. En el caso de Ateles fusciceps fusciceps fue retirado de la lista por no encontrarse ningún portavoz para la especie. Con la lista de 2012-2014 se utilizó el mismo criterio.

 Resumen de todos los informes
A excepción de la publicación correspondiente a 2000-2002, que fue redactada mediante la colaboración entre la IUCN/SSC PSG y CI, la lista ha sido revisada cada dos años tras la celebración del Congreso bienal de la IPS. El informe de 2002-2004 surgió como resultado del 19º Congreso de la IPS en Pekín, China; el de 2004-2006 tras el 20.º Congreso, celebrado en Turín, Italia; el correspondiente a 2006-2008, tras el 21.º Congreso en Entebbe, Uganda; el informe correspondiente a 2008-2010 vio la luz tras la celebración del 22.º Congreso desarrollado en Edimburgo, Reino Unido; el de 2010-2012 en el 23.º Congreso celebrado en Kioto, Japón y el informe de 2012-2014 se desarrolló durante el 24.º Congreso en Cancún, México.

La Lista roja de Especies Amenazadas de la UICN 2008 ofreció evaluaciones de 634 taxones de primates, de los que 303 (el 47,8%) se incluyeron en la lista como amenazados (vulnerable, en peligro o en peligro crítico de extinción). Un total de 206 especies de primates fueron clasificadas como en peligro o en peligro crítico, 54 de las cuales (el 26%) han sido incluidas al menos una vez en Los 25 primates en mayor peligro del mundo'' desde su creación en el año 2000.

AOC Doubles Down on Defunding NYPD
(UnitedVoice.com) – Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), aka AOC, has opened her big mouth again. The freshman congresswoman has come out and said the New York City Council didn't go far enough in their measure to cut $1 billion from the NYPD budget. She decried parts of the proposed legislation she felt were akin to simply changing money from your right pocket to your left and not really doing anything, saying, "defunding police means defunding police…"
However, there are some out there who think the dismantling/intentionally bankrupting law enforcement agencies may not be the best of ideas. They pose legitimate questions the Progressive Liberals can't seem to answer, perhaps indicating that an ability to see the problems that will arise is beyond them.
NYC averaged 1 shooting per hour last night….
Meanwhile they are cutting $1B from the NYPD budget?!
Remind me again how less cops are a good thing?

A good example of where this lunacy might lead can easily be found in the epicenter of all this in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the City Council voted to dissolve the MPD. But then they almost immediately went and ordered private security protection for three of their members in a somewhat shady deal that effectively hides it from voter oversight, but is still costing an estimated $4500 per day.
Washington Times reports three members of the Minneapolis city council voted to abolish police but are protected by taxpayer-funded private security at a cost of $4500/day total so far $63,000. Elected hypocrisy strikes again.

The idea of cutting the Thin Blue Line that protects the citizens to shreds can be described using different adjectives, including "insanity," "subversion," or perhaps just sticking to the simplest, but probably most accurate one is best with "stupidity."
Many, if not most, Americans are by now familiar with the fact that Blacks in this country are treated quite differently by police forces, but that hypothetical empathy only goes so far. Because when the fear that bowing down to the amorphous "they" comes at the cost of protecting "our" families from danger hits them, it's quite possible there will be a severe pushback.

In what may be interpreted as a sign that open market demand for Portugal's bonds is just not there anymore (not to mention the widening of their credit spreads over the past few days), Portugal has decided to forgo the usual Dutch-auction process in favor of selling their bonds in a private placement to an unidentified buyer (China?). The 10-year spread over the Bund is now 423.51 basis points. At it's widest point, the spread was only 36 basis points higher. The Euro-zone had better hope that China's appetite for its questionable debt remains high.

How To Steal The Show On The Red Carpet: Learning from the Best
By Art Becomes YouPosted on July 18, 2016 0 Comments643 views
Whether you're walking down an actual red carpet or just attending an important event, date or meeting, there are moments in your life when you are going to want to steal the spotlight – for all the right reasons!
We're looking at five celebs who have been on point with their outfit choices, not because they have been shocking or outrageous, but because they have made perfect decisions for the occasion. Let's take inspiration from these ladies, here to prove that making a truly great impression is not about going all out but about careful, stylish choices.
One of the fiercest tennis players on the planet, with a record breaking 22 Grand Slam titles to her name, Serena Williams is not to be messed with on the courts. She's also a total fitty on the red carpet!
Boby shamers have tried to put our lady Williams down by saying that her figure looks too masculine. We are not quite sure what they are looking at as she consistently looks fantastic with her strong, athletic figure. She plays to her strengths and weaknesses when it comes to fashion. At the 2016 Wimbledon Winners Ball, she chose a full length gown with a bedazzled bodice, showing off her perfectly toned arms. She kept her hair loose and had a shimmering makeup palette, keeping her look soft and feminine.
If you want to make an impression like Serena, get to know your body and understand what suits your shape and particularities. We all have beautifully different bodies – keep it classy ladies and don't let the body shamers make you feel bad for being daring and gorgeous.
Liv Boeree
We'll forgive you if you haven't heard of Liv Boeree, but trust us – she's a queen! Like Serena, she is bossing it in a male-dominated arena as she is one of the most successful poker players in the world. She has racked up over $2,000,000 in live tournament earnings, playing against both men and women and killing it. Her success has earned her a spot in Team PokerStars, a team of the best of the best of poker pros sponsored by a popular online poker provider.
When she's playing in poker tournaments she is usually very casual, which is totally appropriate in this setting, she's focused on her game and not what she looks like. Put her on the red carpet, however, and the lady pulls out all the stops.
We spotted her at the World War Z premier and she totally killed it with her outfit. Her simple black dress with a daring neckline was appropriately sexy – exactly right for this occasion while her simple makeup complemented the choice of dress.
If you want to make an impression like Liv, understand the event you are going to. There's a dress code for work and one for play, find out what yours is and how you fit comfortably into it. Also, be confident: Liv certainly wasn't the most recognizable celeb on that red carpet, walked by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but her elegance and confidence shined through nevertheless.
26 year old Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is the star of the recent Alice in Wonderland films, and she broke the mold recently by skipping the hot ticket at Cannes to attend the premiere of "Alice Through the Looking Glass" in London last May.
Mia has very pale skin and is known for her fresh-faced look. For the premiere she chose a gorgeous Prada gown with black and green sequins. Her hair is sleeked back to show off her face, and her makeup natural. This is definitely a case of less is more for someone who has fairly subtle looks.
If you want to make an impression like Mia, be comfortable in your own skin. Whether you have pale or dark skin, own it and be proud of it. Some complexions can take a lot of color and accessories, others can't. To really stand out you'll understand where your limits lie.
Lupita Nyongo'o
Lupita Nyong'o is another incredibly powerful woman who knows how to dress to make an impression at every occasion. This lady is a brilliant actress, filmmaker, she has a Master's degree from Yale and speaks five different languages – yep, she's pretty amazing.
At the most recent Tony Awards, Nyong'o and her fellow cast members from "Eclipsed", the first ever show to be nominated at the awards to be written and directed exclusively by black women, stole the red carpet. Nyong'o is blessed with a goregous figure, perfect complexion and cheek bones to die for – and she knows how to work them all! Her dress was like a textured, colored wonderland!
If you want to make an impression like Nyong'o, remember that sometimes it pays to make a bold move, just make sure you've got the confidence to pull it off. Don't be afraid to go with your personal choice of attire!
We've left Queen B last. As she's such an obvious choice, we wanted to give the other ladies a chance to shine first. However, it is a fact that Beyonce knows how to work her style to make sure she's making the right impression at the right time.
She's had quite a bit of practice, as this lady has sold over 100 million records worldwide, and makes it to all of the best parties. Take a look at her at the Met Gala get up, where she's wearing wearing a Latex Givenchy bodycon gown with strategically placed sequins and impressive shoulders. You know that not many people can make that work, but Queen B certainly does.
If you want to make an impression like Beyonce, it's going to be tough! We think Beyonce's appeal is that she knows who she is as a woman and she's able to adapt her style to suit her current mood. She's not tied down to one look and she's prepared to push preconceptions. Allow yourself to vary your looks: you may know that you look great in that perfect black gown, but you don't want to be boring or predictable. Be bold and diversify your look according to the occasion, the theme and even your mood and you're sure to make a lasting impression.
What all of these ladies have in common is that they are strong, independent and fabulous at what they do. They make fashion choices that enhance their natural and inner beauty. Yes, they are making a statement on the red carpet, but it's not sensationalist or too showy. We can all borrow a page from these Queens' books to help us stand out, whether it's understanding your body or learning to be bold. Be inspired, ladies, and good luck!

I've been following your build diary, and I have a question about when you cut the roof off.
how did you reinforce the frame, or did you buy the Fiero already with a box frame welded underneath?
I believe Ari has the same reinforcement that I have. At the rear of the cab I cut open the rocker panel enough to drive a peice of square tubing steel in there. Need to be long enough to go all the way to the front door hing. Its raining here today, but I ll get you a close up pic asap.
sounds cool.. I eventually want to do a targa roof, and am trying to decide on the best way to strengthen the frame.
A big problem with targas is where to store the roof when its not on the car... Most targa Fiero's have no place to put the roof.
Some 355 builders move the ECM and the fuel tank, which allows them to slide the roof behind the seats. This is a fair bit of work though, and requires the rerouting of fuellines and making custom fuel tanks for the trunk or hood area.

Butlers Automotive needs your vote
Butlers Automotive, has been shortlisted for 'Independent Factor Team of the Year' at the Car & Accessory Trader (CAT) Awards to be held at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester on 8 February, and needs votes from the people of South Yorkshire to help bring back the award.
The nomination recognises Butlers' renaissance as a car parts distributor in the UK, which had been trading in the town for more than 40 years when it was bought in 2017 by the successful aftermarket distributor, Autosupplies Chesterfield. The announcement is also a reflection of its continued business investment, helping to drive more business into the local area, spanning Barnsley and surrounding towns in South Yorkshire.
The motor factor is calling on local people to get behind the business and cast their vote via CAT's website, using the link: https://surveys.haymarket.com/s3/CAT-Awards-2019-Voting-Form.
CAT magazine is part of publishing giant Haymarket Media and with the voting closing middle of January, it is important the South Yorkshire public wastes no time in casting their vote.
Butlers' managing director, David Clarke, said: "To be nominated for this award underlines the transformation the company has gone through and key to this has been the hard work from the Butlers Automotive team. Their passion for the business has been infectious and so we are urging the public and trade customers to continue their fantastic support by voting for us."
In recent months, Butlers Automotive has revamped its retail counter, offering Barnsley motorists a large range of car retail products. Furthermore, the company has added a large range of refinish products to bodyshops throughout Barnsley.

While we strive to provide the very best Mex experience for you at home there is nothing better than nachos and tacos fresh out of the kitchen. Why not ask for your nachos uncooked?
The Mex is first and foremost a dine-in restaurant and not a fast food takeaway establishment. Our meals are made to order and generally require at least 30mins to prepare and cook. In busy times (between 6-7pm) we prioritise dine in customers and recommend ordering takeaways outside of these hours for the best experience. We recommend ordering online as our phone lines tend to get overwhelmed during busy periods.

So you want to use ParaPlan on your Mac? We understand, we all use Macs as well. However, ParaPlan uses Microsoft ClickOnce, which runs on Windows. So, here are a few ways to run Windows on your Mac computer. Note that we have at some point used all these options so we can provide further instructions if need be. Also, all these options except the Amazon Workspaces require a valid Windows license. These can be purchased individually, through volume deals. In some cases, you can reuse a license from a computer that is no longer in use.
This is the easiest way to accomplish running ParaPlan on a Mac. Once you've installed Windows on your Mac, simply hold the Option key on your keyboard to instruct the computer to boot into OS X or Windows. At this point, your computer is only running Windows. This is the best scenario if your Mac has less then 4 GB of RAM or a low-powered CPU.
This is the most technically advanced option, but also has the most fine-grain controls of your configuration. Download and install VirtualBox here. When running, it will just another app running on your Mac, allowing for full use of other OS X apps. Many of the configurations require use of the command line and a general in-depth knowledge of both OS X and Windows. Also updates are frequent and are often multi-steps with required reboots. If you do not already have a version of Windows that can be used (most people have one available), you'll need to buy that as well.
This is the de facto virtual PC option. Purchase it here. Like VirtualBox, it runs in the same desktop as your Mac software. The experience is smooth and the configuration is intuitive. As a bonus, you also get Parallels Access allowing access to your Mac and PC from your iPhone and iPad for a year. For remote desktop software, it's actually really well done. If you do not already have a version of Windows that can be used (most people have one available), you'll need to buy that as well.
This is a fully functional, fully managed PC in the cloud. Connect through an OS X app to your PC that is running on Amazon's servers. Once configured, you can connect to your workspace from any Mac or PC, or even iPad.

Handsome Dave will push you to your limit in these fast paced mini-games.
We had quite a laugh doing this, we hope you will have fun playing it too!
Note: Images are less pixelated if you use the "Web Desktop" link instead of the embedded version.
All sounds effects in VoiceActing3000.
No rabbits were hurt making this game.
We do not promote excessive alcohol consumption.
Please do not high-five random wild animals.
All the virtual meat in this game was produced organically.
Mime content guarantied < 0.27%.
Edit3: We reduced the difficulty for the "Steak" game. Thanks for the feedback!
Heads up, your link is a 404 dude!
this link have error 404 unfortunately, because screen looks good.
Fun set of mini-games! :D Very original angle and execution. A tad difficult, but I settled for a minor beard - to trump your mother.
The intro at the start was absolutely hilarious and I enjoyed all the minigames (especially the barber one).
Very funny ! I like the Beard concept and the voice is freaking hilarious.
I would reduce the mini game difficulty (the barber mini game and the beer mini game especialy). But otherwise it's awesome. great entry mister beard !
super fun, wish there was more minigames to play! good job.
This feels a lot like a series of quick time events within another game just strung together. Still, its... interesting. I think you're probably going to clean up in the humor category, but it didnt tickle my funny-bone personally: Felt too much like nonsense youtuber humor.
Still it looks very nice.
Why even go to the barber's if you're just going to dodge his razor? Haha.
I liked the concept, but the audio quality could be better.
Awyis I grew a full beard! Awesome game, funny sound effects too. Got me in the mood to grow a beard.
I didn't understand the think with the steak, but I had lot of fun with al the other. And that's an all voice acted game!
lol! awesome. My favourite was the barber. Noooooooo!
@Shurty: Strange, I found those the easiest. Hardest for me was the steak.
Obviously the game looks great, is great fun for a short time, and is really funny. Perfect game jam entry. Still laughing.
Awesome game: verry addictive, cool graphics and sounds and alot of fun and humor.
I've always liked these Wario-type, fast-paced, mini-games and this was pretty good! The accent at the beginning was a little hard to understand.
Love the music and the graphics. Great stuff!
Sometimes things are baffling, but that is part of the amusement. Figured out all of the mini-games by the second try, which is good.
Steak-eating is hard with just a trackpad.
Favorite scene: dodging the barber.
The minigames were pretty fun and I thought the overall theme was funny. Some of the games(like the questions) got old pretty quick, some (like the steak one) were quite hard to learn and I found some frustrating bugs.
This one was a really great one!
Nice micro-game based entry, it was funny and fun to play. Well done!
The barber is the best xd This game is awesome, the idea of mini-games isn't new, but it gave me so much fun! I like the audio, especially that voice which is talking to me, it's brilliant xd Graphics is simple, but nice, and humor, oh my, this is so funny to play! Growing-beard games is not new for this theme, but this game is really cool after all.
Ahah really nice and fun mini games!
This is cute and definitely got a smile from me. Handsome Dave was proud to be my coach, apparently. I think the barber dodging game was probably my favourite.
Fun game, I enjoyed it more once I found how to play all the mini games.
Some feedback on why the player failed could be better. For example in the stake eating contest I guess I lost because I clicked the bone but I'm not really sure. On the bunny high five I don't know why I lost.
Very fun game, really enjoyed all the mini games. Game had a nice art style as well.
I make him proud !
