Neo-Miltonic Syllabics is a meter devised by Robert Bridges. It was first employed by the poet in a group of poems composed between 1921 and 1925, and collected in his book New Verse (1925). In "Kate's Mother," included in New Verse, Bridges had found that form which he later employed in The Testament of Beauty, a book-length poem written when he was over eighty. He arrived at that syllabic meter used in the New Verse collection by way of his earlier detailed analysis of  John Milton's versification in Milton's Prosody (1889, rev. ed. 1921).

The first poem in this form was "Poor Poll" which F. T. Prince regarded as the best illustration of Bridges' meter. Prince later adopted Neo-Miltonic Syllabics when writing his own work, Afterword on Rupert Brooke (1976).

An olive tea manufacturing plant is set to open in the Rajasthani village of Bassi following a two-year feasibility study. Three olive farms in Jhunhunu, Jaipur and Jalore have been selected for the collection of olive leaves.
While Indian olive leaf tea is a fresh brew, global demand for the product is increasing. It is believed that olive leaf tea delivers more health benefits than green tea and contains more anti-oxidants and Vitamin C.
Rajasthan's olive leaf tea plant is expected to initially produce around 50 Kilos of tea per day. Tea tasters have been recruited for the plant, which is a collaboration between the Rajasthan Government and a private company.

TRPC3-interacting triadic proteins in skeletal muscle.
The expression of TRPC3 (canonical-type transient receptor potential cation channel type 3) is tightly regulated during skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and a functional interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1 [(ryanodine receptor type 1), an SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) Ca2+-release channel] regulates the gain of SR Ca2+ release during EC (excitation-contraction) coupling. However, it has not been possible to demonstrate direct protein-protein interactions between TRPC3 and RyR1. To identify possible candidate(s) for a linker protein(s) between TRPC3 and RyR1 in skeletal muscle, in the present study we performed MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight) MS analysis of a cross-linked triadic protein complex from rabbit skeletal triad vesicles and co-immunoprecipitation assays using primary mouse skeletal myotubes. From these studies, we found that six triadic proteins, that are known to regulate RyR1 function and/or EC coupling [TRPC1, JP2 (junctophilin 2), homer, mitsugumin 29, calreticulin and calmodulin], interacted directly with TRPC3 in a Ca2+-independent manner. However we again found no direct interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1. TRPC1 was identified as a potential physical link between TRPC3 and RyR1, as it interacted with both TRPC3 and RyR1, and JPs showed subtype-specific interactions with both RyR1 and TRPC3 (JP1-RyR1 and JP2-TRPC3). These results support the hypothesis that TRPC3 and RyR1 are functionally engaged via linker proteins in skeletal muscle.


You don't have to love Game of Thrones or the Real Housewives franchise to appreciate this spot-on parody of the shows. The Real Housewives of Westeros comes courtesy of the comedy web series from Dirty Cues Productions, and it's ridiculously entertaining. Bizarro versions of Cersei, Sansa, Margaery, Melisandre, Daenerys, and Ellaria are given the full Housewives treatment, complete with intros like, "Those who think they know me can bow down and blow me." (You might be surprised which woman gets that tagline.) The best part is that it airs on a fictional network called Braavos. Obviously! Check it out above, and don't miss Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt/Game of Thrones mashup.


I remember there was a proposal named something like "Life Hacking" or so. But searching for it doesn't return me that proposal. Is it migrated to other proposal? Is it in private beta? If any of the above is correct then why is it not listed? I mean why am I not able to search for this proposal?
I also asked on chat but I did not receive any response.
The Life Hacking proposal was closed as a duplicate of Personal Productivity. Without any further discussion or activity on that proposal, it was eventually removed through the normal maintenance cleanup processes.

U.S. Fifth Circuit Allows Action Against Parent Company for Alleged Breach of Voluntarily Assumed Duties
Steve Herman - July 11, 2016
Following the purchase of Acme Building Brands by Berkshire Hathaway, Acme reduced its contributions to Acme's 401(k) plan, allegedly due to pressure from the new parent company, Berkshire Hathaway Get More Information. While the U.S. Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of breach of fiduciary duty claims against Berkshire Hathaway and all ERISA claims against Acme, the Court reversed the District Court's dismissal of additional claims against Berkshire Hathaway:
"Employers generally are free under ERISA to modify or terminate plans, but if the plan sponsor cedes its right to do so, it will be bound by that contract…. This court has recognized that a reservation-of-rights clause in a plan document, which allows a company to amend or terminate a plan at any time, 'cannot vitiate contractually vested or bargained-for rights. To conclude otherwise would allow the company to take away bargained-for rights unilaterally' …. Section 5.7 imposes a limitation on Berkshire in that Berkshire may not cause Acme to reduce enumerated benefits. But that provision does not restrict Acme itself from reducing future Pension Plan benefit accruals or 401(k) Plan employer contributions if Acme acts independently. Thus, plaintiffs do not seek vested benefits because they acknowledge that Acme, acting independently, can terminate the benefits. Section 5.7's limitation on Berkshire imposes 'no temporal limit,' but that fact does not mean that plaintiffs seek vested, unalterable lifetime benefits. Instead, we view plaintiffs' allegations as seeking to enforce a provision of the merger agreement that limits the scope of future ERISA plan amendments…. Acme can make any changes to the ERISA plans, but Berkshire can 'not cause the Company [Acme] to … (ii) reduce any benefit accruals … [or] (iii) reduce the employer contribution….' Additionally, the restrictive provisos here, like the provision in Halliburton, impose no time limit for how long Berkshire is prevented from causing Acme to reduce certain benefits. Here, the district court highlighted that the restrictive provisos in the merger agreement were silent regarding their duration. Thus, it concluded that such restrictions should not operate in perpetuity but only for a reasonable time. Because plaintiffs failed to assert that the adoption of the amendment fourteen years after the merger agreement was unreasonable, the district court dismissed their claims. We disagree with this conclusion. Plaintiffs' entire theory rests on the premise that the amendment allegedly caused by Berkshire, whether fourteen years after the merger or forty years after the merger, is unreasonable under the circumstances, and violates the merger agreement and the plans. Thus, we hold that plaintiffs have pleaded sufficient facts to assert a plausible claim to relief against Berkshire."

Because the Victoria Hall Volunteers didn't like the picture of Marie Dressler in their meeting place, the Mayor had it removed from the Citizen's Forum. But Rick Miller, chair of the Marie Dressler Foundation, thinks that "as a part of Cobourg's history, Marie Dressler should be honoured with a photograph in the Town's national historic building". After all, the building belongs to the Town and its citizens and pictures should reflect the Town's history and heritage. One group should not have a veto over what is displayed. On Monday night, Rick made a presentation to Council on this point. What if he as a citizen didn't particularly like the portrait of Lenah Fisher? Would it then be removed? Why then remove the photo of Marie Dressler that others don't like? To avoid these kinds of problems, a policy should be developed.
In December 13, 2016 the Mayor unveiled a framed photograph of Marie Dressler in Victoria Hall Citizens' Forum. But today, the framed photograph of Marie Dressler is missing.
The Victoria Hall Volunteers did not contact Marie Dressler Foundation to discuss their concerns.
What is the Policy governing what gets displayed in Victoria Hall?
As a citizen of Cobourg, if I object to the landscape prints in Citizens Forum, will the Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer remove them from the wall?
What if I don't particularly like the portrait of Lenah Fisher?
What if I don't think the picture of Edwin Guillet should be on the wall?
That in the meantime, Council directs that the photograph of Marie Dressler be reinstated in Citizens Forum until such time as an approved Policy would otherwise not permit.
Rick said he was not asking for a room, just that Marie Dressler's photo be displayed in a prominent place in Victoria Hall.
Debra McCarthy asked: Do the Victoria Hall Volunteers have a say in what hangs in the Art Gallery? Rick did not know the answer to that.
Suzanne Séguin asked: Where is the picture now? The gallery was amused to know that it was now in the Mayor's office!
Brian Darling wanted to know: Why September 30? Because there are a number of major Dressler events around that time and that October 1st is the last meeting of this council.
Then Council unanimously passed a motion to develop the policy that Rick requested and that in the interim, the photo is to be installed in a prominent location in Victoria Hall.
I can't believe the big fuss this has caused when there are many much more important issues on the agenda.
and the bell too, please.
Leila Marie Koerber spent a large part of her childhood in Cobourg, where her father taught music and was organist at St.Peter's Church. Little Marie apparently assisted her father by working the pump organ.
So it's entirely appropriate, that her portrait should hang in The Hall.
On another note, in contrast to some other group, the HSV contribute much to Victoria Hall, financially and with a year-round series of events.
HSV is part of a caring and supportive community that makes Cobourg a great place to live.
I hope the whole story about the removal of the portrait comes out soon, but some folks are already badmouthing the Mayor and Staff.
Leila Marie Koerber's family moved from community to community when she was a girl and she left home at fourteen so spending "a large part of her childhood in Cobourg" didn't amount to much. I think it's time the Feel Good Town found something else to feel good about and stopped riding the coattails of an early twentieth century actress. Isn't a museum enough? And as to why the picture was removed or where it is now, it's not worth losing any sleep over.
Perhaps Fran Richardson, President of the VHV, can explain what was disturbing about Marie Dressler's portrait.
Interesting question but, at the same time, I really don't know why a picture of Marie Dressler is decorating the walls of Victoria Hall. She had no connection with Cobourg other than being born here and she didn't have enough affection for the place to make a return visit. Her picture should be where it belongs — in her museum.
LOL! Queen Victoria never visited here.
visit of a minor Royal would be. We were eager to promote our own home grown movie star in any way we could. Now it seems Cobourg is just as eager to hide her portrait where the sun don't shine, as it were.
When I am in Cobourg early July I shall hunt her down for myself.
Who the heck are the Victoria Hall Volunteers that the Mayor obeys them? Did I miss an election? And as the Art Gallery is in a rented space, I do not want to see any policy developed that controls in any way whatsoever what the Gallery can display on its walls. Debra was being facetious in her question, but in today's environment what seems facetious today can suddenly seem all too true tomorrow.
I am not currently a member of the Victoria Hall Volunteers but became involved with the organization years ago soon after I helped with fundraising activities as a student to save Victoria Hall. The VHV founders are the people who helped save Victoria Hall from the wrecking ball. This attack on VHV I find very disrespectful. The group continues to organize popular events to raise money for Victoria Hall.
I understood that the Citizens Forum, in addition to being a Town meeting space available to the public, is the long time home base for the VHV.
I agree a policy for displaying pictures and artifacts in Victoria Hall is needed. On my part, I wonder where all those original Bartlett prints have gone from the Council Chambers.
By the way, where was the outrage when the harbour dredger was named the Marie Dressler?
So clearly the message is that if you don't like something you go to the Mayor rather than the organization responsible for the 'unloved something'. Dare I say a microcosmic scenario oft seen in our fair town.
Citizens of Cobourg with any interest in our past – remember that there is a place where much of it can be viewed in another historic building. It is called the Sifton-Cook Heritage Centre – Cobourg's Museum. Currently visitors can see a picture of the historic home of Marie Dressler (though not Marie herself) and also discover that yes, the H MC S Cobourg's bell is in fact in the Mayor's office.
There's loads more to see and discover – and admission is free.
Well this contretemps will certainly provide fodder for the summer teas amongst the 'cocktail set' this year. But seriously this spat only confirms the Mayor's fealty to a group dedicated to both decorum (in their defining way) and the way the drapes are hung in Vic Hall. Remember the move to remove the floor design in the lobby? The Lobby is now a drab reminder of what Cobourg used to be – for example where is the Bell from HMCS Cobourg, as well as the other militaria previously displayed?
It's time that Cobourg's municipal treasures were displayed properly in a public place and to rely on the taste of one private group is wrong. But to rely on a committee (a committee set out to design a horse came back with a camel!) will be interesting.
Kudos to Rick Miller for taking on this group, I bet it will reduce the number of cocktail invitations this year!
The ship's bell and white ensign are hung on the wall in the mayor's office .
The ship's bell was going to be "refurbished" according to the mayor (which is not permitted and should not be touched ) as it is DND property on loan to the town .
HMCS Cobourg's memorabilia was removed from the display case when the foyer had some work done it and everything was supposed to be be reinstalled.
In spite of requests ,the mayor has not done so ,and considering the rest of the memorabilia .ship's photo.crewmember list etc.(whereabouts unknown now) are intended for public display not for visitors to the mayor's office everything should be reinstalled where it belongs and the public can see it as before.
Yes kudos to Rick Miller for sure. He is right!

I am starting to hear you.


just joined here and thought id post a picture of my project.its a 79 xs400 special with under 2000 miles that i picked up for $500.i had a frame made up by local frame guru dave huntress(tigman). ive been piecing the rest of the bike together making what i can and buying what i have to. this website has already been a huge help!!
the frame isnt stock. i had a local guy (www.tanksbytigman.com) build one for me.i think the stretch was 4".
psw customs has hardtail kits.
best of luck ...any questions just ask!!
yeah i looked at those, but there isnt much to this frame in the way of angle. i only need 20 bends of roughly the same size. and my plates are coming from travis off the 650 and 400 forums. heres my thread.
Lookin good bro. I dig the frame. I'm also starting an xs400 build. I'll be following yours.

Colorado Buffaloes guard Shane Gatling (0) in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019, in Boulder, Colo. Washington won 77-70.
If McKinley Wright's shoulder injury proves problematic for the next few weeks and beyond, the Colorado men's basketball team will have a colossal void to fill.
Yet one of the bright spots of Saturday night's close-but-not-quite 77-70 home loss against Washington was the play of junior guard Shane Gatling, who showed he is capable of substituting for Wright at the top of the Buffaloes' attack even while his shooting woes continue.
Wright, who played through a left shoulder injury during last week's pair of losses in Arizona, exited Saturday's contest with 8 minutes, 8 seconds remaining in the first half and did not return. Gatling has played mostly off the ball this season after transferring from Indian Hills Community College, but he impressed in his return to a ball-handling role that helped make him a junior college All-American last season.
In his third consecutive game off the bench after starting the first 13 games, Gatling again struggled with his shooting touch, going 1-for-10 overall and 1-for-6 on 3-pointers just 48 hours after hitting a season-best five 3-pointers in a win against Washington State.


When I think of all the emotional upheavals that came with being a teenager and those during adolescence, not to mention the things that we were going through as we were growing up, I can tell you now for certain I would never want to go through all of that again.
Do you remember that 'heart pain' that you felt deep on the inside, the ankst, the insecurity and confusion? Everything felt so vital, but yet it was only a piece in the puzzle.
At around that age I think there must be some chemical or hormone that is being released inside you that elevates every emotion to a heightened sense.
From the time that these difficult lessons start is the beginning of a major part of the making of who you will be. You begin to sense different things in your life causing you pain, and perhaps they shouldn't, you realise that you are in the position to make difficult life decisions and make them for yourself, you feel different from everyone else, you wonder if there is something wrong with you, you compare yourself with others, you dont know what to do in certain situations, you don't know how to confront someone, or maybe you don't know how to control feelings or anger, you don't know what you want, you don't know what is right for you anymore and you begin to wish that you were a child again. This is when the process of making of who you will be is happening.
Some people say "if I could do that all over again I'd do this". You'll never hear those words coming out of my mouth. I'm very thankful for all the things that I have been through because they helped me grow, taught me so much, and made me who I am today but I would never want to go through all of that again, if I had the choice to do it.
The good news is that you will get through it and its making who you are going to be. The 'better' you learn your lessons the 'better' person you will be.
It seems like it goes on forever, it extends into your early 20's and even into your 30's and then somewhere along the way hopefully life begins to settle, you find that things seem a lot clearer to you, you know how to react in circumstances and you know what you want for your life. And you realise that every tough lesson was forming who you were becoming.
If I could talk to my younger self I would explain all this and hope that she would really get a hold of what I am explaining. Perhaps she would embrace some of the growing stages knowing that this would be her making if she made the right choices and then she would be very pleased with the outcome.
No, I really didn't know that back then, but thankfully, I am very pleased with the outcome of who I am.
And that is a wonderful goal to obtain in your life!
So my advice is learn your lesson well and don't prolong them. Deal with things rather than avoiding them. It's hard now but it will make it easier later. You are becoming yourself, and you can help create the best version of yourself that is possible.
Let go Never give up Hold on Think before you speak You ARE worth it!
In the big scheme of things this is only a hiccup You can do it Why not?

Choral, orchestral, and choral -orchestral rehearsal techniques to optimize choral -orchestral renditions
Leonardo C Lebas, University of Nebraska - Lincoln
The preparation and performance of a choral-orchestral work can be a fulfilling musical experience. All too often, however, lack of interpretive interaction between the chorus and the orchestra frustrates an artistically successful outcome. This doctoral document presents a philosophy of preparation of choral-orchestral works that promotes the working together of the choral-orchestral ensemble. The author of the document considers choral, orchestral, and choral-orchestral rehearsal techniques that create synergy in the choral-orchestral ensemble an essential tool to optimize choral-orchestral renditions. The rehearsal techniques are described and are applied to the author's preparation and performance of Schubert's Mass in G. Although offering a detailed analysis of the work, as well as reflections on its preparation, this document is not a "Conductor's Guide to Schubert's Mass in G." Rather, the intent of the author is to provide an approach to choral-orchestral preparation which can inspire conductors to create their own rehearsal techniques that form synergy in the choral-orchestral ensemble, and to apply them to their preparation of works from the vast choral-orchestral repertoire. Also included in this document are a survey of selected English-language scholarly literature on preparation of choral-orchestral works, and a DVD containing a performance of Schubert's Mass in G conducted by the author.

If you're ready to declutter, but lost, I've got some tips to ease your pain. Or, perhaps decluttering isn't quite on your radar. If you've been walking past the same room for a year, noting that a particular item (or items) haven't budged season after season, it might be time to give it a new home.
From minimalism to tiny houses, getting rid of the excess seems to be all the rage. And, why not? There's nothing like an expanse of open space, indoors or out, to clear the mind.
But what about the rest of us? Those who have a moderate level of stuff, ranging from the childhood toys our parents cleared out of their house delivered to our doorstep to our college commemorative mugs. There aren't paths through our house– we have some wide open spaces.
However, maybe the dresser drawers are full. The bookshelf is starting to overflow. The garage hasn't seen a car since you moved in. I realized after our recent move that I was storing a lot of stuff from my lifetime. It happens. We have children, develop hobbies, buy new to replace whatever is wearing out.
Do you really need or want all that stuff?
If you have the stuff of the average American, keeping what we already have is relatively easy. It lives in its place– maybe it's a closet, a corner, or a shelf. It may get relegated to the attic or the garage, but it has a place. Is that enough?
How many items do you need to move in order to vacuum each room?
How many knick-knacks require dusting?
Are you able to easily access and enjoy your belongings?
Can you tidy up your house in a reasonable amount of time for surprise company?
Are you able to use each room (or your garage) for the purpose you desire?
Can you quickly find what you're looking for?
How can I make it easy to declutter?
I'm going to let you in on a secret. Decluttering your own stuff is never easy. It will always require the discernment of need and want, sentimental and historic, as well as comfort and change.
However, while letting go may never be easy, you can make it easier. I've found some of the most helpful books on decluttering to be focused on downsizing later in life. I'm not there yet, but when we look at our legacy, what do we want it to include?
I don't want my children to be overly attached to a bunch of stuff. I also don't want them to ever feel that when I depart this earth, they are emotionally and physically bound to haul all my stuff with them in life.
I want them to enjoy the freedom to be flexible. To have very specific, meaningful items, and to feel free to discard whatever is not personally special to them. If you've experienced how hard it is to clean out a parent's home or have friends who have, you know what difficult and daunting task it is.
I'm all for simplification and getting rid of the excess, but I can't relate to the extreme minimalists. We camp and enjoy the outdoors–that means we have all the gear that goes along with sports and s'mores. I'm also an artist, an avid reader, equestrienne, and have my own business. Even when we streamline, there's going to be stuff. That's okay– as long as it's the stuff we use, love, or find meaningful.
It's emotionally hard, even in the best of circumstances. I don't want my children (or myself) to face that during a time of distress, ill health, or when pressed for time.
My absolute favorite book on decluttering is called Clutter Free by Kathi Lipp. Where do I begin? Kathi approaches the process with compassion, humor, and humanity.
Kathi's book takes a faith-based approach and addresses not only the clutter we have, but the clutter we will add if we don't address the underlying issues and emotions. This book is one I read again and again– each time through, it reinforces for me exactly how I want my space to look and feel.
She delves into contentment, why we buy, and how we part with the stuff that is encroaching on our lives. The spiritual and mental noise that clutter creates in our lives becomes evident when we begin discerning our own motives for keeping stuff (or continuing to buy stuff!).
Another good decluttering book is the aptly named Let It Go: Downsizing Your Way to a Richer, Happier Life by Peter Walsh. This is a book geared toward those later in life, who are leaving the family home behind for smaller digs. He suggests you play the game "Would You Rather?" placing the use of the room and the item(s) under consideration into the sentence.
I like Peter Walsh's book because he discusses the emotional angles, how to equip yourself, questions to consider (besides the "would you rather" ones), and he does so with compassion. Even still, when it comes down to it, he can't do the work for you. You'll need to push up your sleeves and get to work.
Don't declutter when you have PMS.
You'll get rid of nothing, but re-attach yourself to all the things.
You'll get rid of everything, then regret it when your hormones have resettled.
Check your calendar, set a date, and dig in. You'll be able to work with a clear mind and more enthusiastic energy.
I don't know that any other declutter guide will suggest this, but having the right soundtrack to change makes a difference. Don't go for anything too sweet or nostalgic. Go for something that makes you feel forward-looking and on fire. My favorites?
Buying more books on decluttering will not make it easy.
There are some really great books on decluttering. I can tell you this because I've own or have read quite a few. I've also taken several courses. I kept thinking I'd find that magic one that made it all easy. Seamless.
But the truth is, there comes a point where you just have to dig in and do it. It will be hard.
And now I have more books to get rid of.
You will anguish over it a bit. You'll wonder if getting rid of a particular item is the right thing to do.
And then, you'll either put it back or get rid of it. Trust me, I feel your pain. My son helped me load and unload the same box of donations from my car three times because I hadn't been able to bring myself to actually let the box go. We'd finally inventoried the box. Then loaded it into the back of the vehicle. Drove around town with it. It never felt like the right time to drop it off.
Have you been there? When you just aren't ready to let it go?
Then we needed the space in the car for something and we had to pull it out. This happened two more times. It's easy to laugh about it now, but it's so easy to hold on.
It was a relief when I dropped it off and drove away. My son was glad to hear it, too.
What happens when you do let it go?
You could possibly have some regrets. But, more likely than not, you'll find it freeing. And, you'll realize in time that you don't miss those items. You'll remember them. You'll remember the memories attached to them. But you won't need to see them taking up space in your life anymore.
For all the research, reading, and coursework I've done, here's what I know: There's no one magic formula that will work for everyone. No black and white decisions that can be doled out. You'll have to navigate each decision yourself. I do hope you'll find some comfort in knowing that each one of us has to walk that path, too.
Don't declutter in a weekend.
I know there are a lot of posts and courses focused on how to declutter in a weekend, but let's be real. If you want to make thoughtful choices that don't leave you needing a day to mourn that your life has been catastrophically ripped apart, plan to chunk it out in time blocks. If you live in an apartment or smaller house, a weekend might suffice for you, but for most families who've been living in the same home for a number of years, it'll take more time. That's okay, as long as you are dedicated to steady progress.
Work in one room at a time, taking 15-30 minutes a day.

Soapbox: 2022 Was A Watershed For Companies Taking Retro Compilations Seriously
Eclipsing the competition
by Gavin Lane Fri 30th Dec 2022
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they've been chewing over. Today, Gavin is encouraged to see how old games have been getting the appropriate TLC on Switch this year...
We've had plenty of retro compilations and collections come to consoles over the past few years, some of them mightily impressive, others incredibly lacklustre. While 2022 saw plenty of companies repackage old releases into pleasant nostalgia parcels, it also felt like the beginning of a new phase, with big names in the industry finally starting to realise the value — beyond the mere monetary — of investing in their history and letting talented developers present it with the care and attention it deserves.
Digital Eclipse's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration was the retro compilation flagbearer this year, of course. I've already covered just what a landmark release it is to my mind, but it's worth reiterating what an incredible job that team did by presenting formative titles in such an engaging way, with the 'supplementary' material taking the driver's seat for a journey through video game history. The package cleverly acknowledges that while Pong, Asteroids, and co. are titans of the medium, 21st-century players absolutely need context to inform them why they're so revered and iconic. Atari 50 presents that context front and centre in a narrative that's so engrossing, the games themselves become the footnotes.
That sounds disparaging, but it's far from that. The emulation is second to none, as you'd expect from these developers, but the acknowledgement that it's the 'bonus' features that set collections like this apart from a folder of ROMs and MAME, coupled with the slickness of the presentation, feels revelatory. These historical segments aren't just the primary draw for enthusiasts but also the key to attracting curious younger players who want to know more about an era of video gaming before their time. That's the genius of Atari 50, and the reason it needs supporting and championing.
Digital Eclipse is the common thread that ties the other 'gold standard' retro release of 2022 to the Atari collection: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. Say what you like about Konami and the disregard it seems to have for video games versus Pachinko machines, but looking at its output on Switch over the past few years, I'd argue it actually deserves praise for how it's been treating its retro output. There's much more that could be done with its envious back catalogue, but enlisting companies like M2 for help with the Castlevania Anniversary Collection is smart, as was letting Digital Eclipse handle this year's Turtles package, which just recently received an update adding online multiplayer to Turtles in Time and a host of other enhancements. We've also got the Suikoden I&II HD Remaster coming out in 2023. The company may be dropping the ball in other areas, but at least Konami is partnering with the right people. Hopefully, as relationships strengthen and trust is built, we'll see more collaborations of this calibre in the future.
It's not all just Digital Eclipse, though. Capcom's addition of rollback netcode for Capcom Fighting Collection might seem elementary and obvious, but would we really have been surprised if the collection launched with local multiplayer only, or multiplayer only available for a couple of the featured games? That every title can be played online is hardly 'above and beyond', but it still demonstrates an investment and desire to do these collections right. Any chance we can get The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch sometime soon?
Elsewhere, Pac-Man Museum+ became the 42-year-old pill-munching mascot's best collection to date, and the Wonder Boy Collection did a fair, if unfussy, job of presenting four entries of Westone's series — and the upcoming digital release of the 21-game-strong Anniversary Collection (previously physical-only) will address the stinginess of current eShop release, which was the main point of contention in our review.
Not all of 2022's retro compilations were perfect, of course. Sonic Origins managed to irritate the 2D Sonic purists even more than Frontiers. It is a verifiable scientific truth that there can never be enough ways to own and play Sonic 2 and Origins was positioned as the 'definitive' way to play the formative 2D titles - especially Sonic 3 & Knuckles. However, it fell frustratingly short of that sales pitch, with bugs and a confusing DLC offering fanning the flames of fan dissatisfaction.
There's a fair argument that given the age and popularity of these games — not to mention the meticulousness and passion of the contracted developers involved in the project — Sega should be able to get something like this right after 30 years. Sonic Mega Collection on the GameCube was already an excellent showcase of the company's ability to compile Sonic history nicely! But in Origins, the museum section was limited mainly to character art and marketing materials, with no interviews here to shed light on the mysteries of development.

Sega seems content to let the fan community share fascinating insights into the inner workings of these games, but given the stories that have surfaced over the years, it would be thrilling to get the 'official' behind-the-scenes perspective on the cross-continental in-fighting, the technical challenges, developmental friction, the involvement of Kings of Pop, and all that. Get Naoto Ohshima, Hirokazu Yasuhara, Yuji Naka (okay, perhaps not Yuji Naka at the moment), Judy Totoya, Masato Nakamura, Mark Cerny, and others interviewed on camera now. Rieko Kodama passed away earlier this year, and these people won't be around forever to set the record straight. Fans own these games a dozen times over already, but there's enormous value in the warts-and-all 'Making Of' story itself. Packages like Atari 50 show how behind-the-scenes narratives don't have to be presented as a drab and formulaic six-part Netflix documentary series, but interactively in a way that takes advantage of the medium.
Even taking into account Origins' faults, missed opportunities, and missing music tracks, it still managed to be my most-played Switch game of the year. I had a great time with the additional challenges and Tyson Hesse's animation work is sublime. It just felt like so much more could have been done; 'good enough' for games like this really isn't good enough. Add the fact that Sega delisted other versions of the games included in Origins and it's clear the company has a lot of catching up to do.
Code Mystics and SNK's Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol.2 boasted an impressive roster of ten titles presented serviceably, including Card Fighters' Clash, Mega Man Battle & Fighters, and Biomotor Unitron. But considering all those are available separately on the eShop too, King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise and Ganbare Neo Poke-Kun not being localised meant that an opportunity was lost to introduce a couple of fascinating curios to a larger audience. Their inclusion 'as is' remains welcome, and the budget and resource realities of localising a pair of relatively niche NGPC titles must make it a tough proposition. Nonetheless, the feeling that an unadorned ROM was being thrown into an emulator is something that the best compilations this year did away with. Nintendo Switch Online has become the area for that, and it feels like compilations such as the SEGA Genesis Classics Collection aren't going to cut it in the future.
It remains to be seen how this collection will shape up on console — Image: Square Enix
Beyond the obvious avenue of PC emulation, there are so many ways for even the most clueless gamer to play those classics. You've got bespoke solutions like the beleaguered Polymega, neat little Raspberry Pi boxes, mini consoles like the Mega Drive II Mini, modded original hardware souped-up with new connections and mod-cons,and Everdrives, the aforementioned Switch Online catalogue, and a host of other ways to play old favourites, legally and otherwise.
Still, for all but the most dedicated retro enthusiasts — those retrophiles with plenty of space for CRTs and all the peripheral devices you need to make old consoles play nice in the modern living room — you just can't trump the convenience of being able to play classics on your current console. Give people a half-decent option that adds value to the base experience and they'll buy games they already own or could access for free. Digital Eclipse has really raised the quality bar this year and I hope we'll see more and more companies opening up their vaults for similar retrospective projects, while the people and materials still survive.
After wrapping up Atari 50, my mind immediately went to Nintendo, perhaps the company with most Disney-esque level of brand management in the entire industry. It feels incredibly unlikely that it would open its archives for a team like Digital Eclipse to explore without suffocating the project and insisting on framing every moment on its own PR-sanitised terms. You're not going to get warts-and-all admissions of insane crunch, chain-smoking in office cubicles, or Miyamoto grinding team morale to dust in pursuit of his vision.
Image: Atari
Ironically, Atari's incredible decline since the '90s — with its change in ownership and transition to more of a lifestyle brand groping after unsavory trends than a serious video game company these days — means there's a cachet to having an officially-licensed product acknowledging historical drug use in its developer interviews. Having that level of honesty in a Nintendo product would simply never happen. There's also likely a cultural factor in play here, too; the bold, brash American approach versus the silent, mannered hierarchy of many a Japanese company. As far removed as modern Atari is from the OG company and legacy, it's somehow appropriate that Atari is the firm to break the retro collection mould like this.
Perhaps there is yet time for Nintendo and other formative Japanese video game companies. The planned opening of a museum-like 'Nintendo Gallery' is encouraging, but the vast majority of Nintendo fans aren't going to be able to visit the Kyoto facility when it does eventually open. The vast 'gigaleak' from a fews years back suggests that Nintendo does indeed keep everything, and glimpses into the company archives that games like Mario Maker afforded us revealed a treasure trove of material for potential archivists. There's never been a healthier appetite for vintage gaming ephemera.
Imagine something like this but massively expanded and interactive...
The clock is ticking, though. Significant figures in the company getting up there in years. Last year we lost Masayuki Uemura, the designer of the Famicom, and other figures such as Takaya Imamura have moved on from the company in recent times. The Iwata Asks archive is a terrific catalogue of developer interviews (darn it Nintendo, where's my coffee table book already?!) but the last of those was published over seven years ago in June 2015, shortly before Satoru Iwata's death. Now is the time to speak to the people who built modern Nintendo and document their stories before it's too late. Shigeru Miyamoto is 70. Just putting it out there.
Ultimately, despite the sterling work this year in the field of retro compilations on console, there will be no shortage of tired, clumsy collections hastily assembled to cash in on the ageing gamer's nostalgia. But having shown that there's a better way, I'm hoping beyond hope that the Capcoms, the Konamis, the SEGAs, and — yes — the platform holders themselves, take a look at Atari 50 and see the appetite and potential for such quality packages. All eyes will be on the upcoming console version of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection next year, and we'd like to think that the time of a company as storied and illustrious as Square Enix putting out remasters of treasured classics plastered with a patently ghastly font is well and truly in the past.
Perhaps it's best not to get hopes up, but the encouraging signs this year indicate that big publishers might finally have noted the benefit of doing retro collections the way they should be done: properly.

Still pretty bad collections. Sonic Origins still has problems and that blurry ugly filter you can't turn off. The TMNT collection is a nice package but it has absurd levels of input lag (7-8 frames!) and barely anyone talks about it.
Dman10
I think a Simpson's collection of the older Simpsons games is needed. And remaster of more recent Simpson's games like Hit and Run.
Daimando
We need a Ganbare Goemon Collection
RubyCarbuncle
I'm just going to pretend Sonic Origins never happened.
@bonjong23 The only reason I play Sonic Origins is because I'm able to remove the terrible music in Carnival Night and Ice Cap and replace it with the original Michael Jackson OST, what it should be.

It's one of the best things about modern gaming that companies are getting retro games more and more right. There have been great collections from Capcom and Konami, and I have almost everything I want via the Arcade Archives series (I've just seen Bubble Bobble is now available too, which is great).
The one company I'd like more from is Sega. It just seems a shame they haven't been able to bring us more of their classic arcade games over the years. I bought a few Sega Ages titles, but they never brought out the ones I really wanted, like Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder or Spider-Man: the Arcade Game. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me they almost went to too much effort with them, and expected too much in return. Some of the Arcade Archives titles are extremely niche and I doubt they sold many, but that business model still seems OK for Hamster. I'm sure a complete set of Sega games would have a similar popularity, if not greater.
At yet there isn't a Mortal Kombat Kollection on current platforms. What gives, NetherRealm Studios?!
Diogmites
I was into WW2 history awhile back. Almost all the guys and gals who were there are gone now. A fair share of those veterans who had never spoken about the experiences they had began to do so at the end of their lives and there was a glut of new anecdotes and information to be shared and documented. So much of that terrible war's history will still be unknown because of its scope and the number of individuals involved, as well as the nature of the material.
The video game industry has grown so fast and its history is already a gargantuan, impossible behemoth.
For every question not asked, for every game's history that is passed over,for every rock unturned, for every dark corner that is not sought with curiosity's light, there will be a grand host of regrets and great shame for future gamers to bear.
While this seems obvious, it bears repeating.
Oh yeah, i should probably check out Atari 50 sometime.
Great article btw
Andee
@bonjong23 really? That bad? I've not gone in on it yet, but is it like that in handheld mode as well?
As backwards compatible across current-gen consoles is a consistently wonky and imperfect practice, there needs to be more care and attention put into preservation, and compilations like this can only be a good thing, but yeah there still needs to be a level of quality control asserted.
A lot of great collections mentioned in this article. I want to mention the Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection.
This is mainly because while it includes comprehensive character bios, series history and art gallery, similar to the Street Fighter Collection, it also features video of iconic tournament matches complete with a written breakdown of each.
That's just slammin, baby.
gb_nes_gamer
@Magician I'm hoping for such a collection next year. With arcade and console versions would be a nice bonus like the Turtles release.
There's an Arcade 1Up Midway cabinet with MK, Paper boy and a few other classics. Maybe a similar collection will get a home console release.
infernogott
Atari 50 is the new benchmark for retro compilations.
AtlanteanMan
There are, of course, still plenty of omissions and potential for further compilations. Just a few examples:
1) Ms. Pac-Man I realize the licensing issues, but seriously, this one needs to get done somehow.
2) Midway has been conspicuously silent after having excellent collections of its Arcade classics on previous console generations.
3) Sega's Arcade catalog alone could make for a truly epic compilation, let alone the ones for the Saturn and Dreamcast. Sega obviously doesn't look on that part of their history nearly as fondly as fans do; it's just one of many frustrating disconnects they've had with consumers since they left from making consoles.
4) A more comprehensive Namco collection (including titles such as Pole Position) would be more than welcome, although fortunately Hamster has been bringing a sizable number of their games to Arcade Archives.
5) Other coin-ops like San Francisco Rush and Hard Drivin' could still use a port or to be included in a collection.
6) Just imagine how many copies of a Nintendo legacy compilation of NES, SNES, or N64 games they could sell as a package with optional DLC additional games rather than locking them all behind subscription drip-feeds.
The file sizes for those games are tiny by today's standards, and it would be no problem from a technical standpoint.
7) An Atari 2600/5200, ColecoVision, and Intellivision compilation of Activision titles like Pitfall, Pitfall II, River Raid , etc. is overdue this console generation.

Well... I'm hope for a CONSOLE VERSIONS PORTS OF ARCADE FIGHTING GAMES! I'm tired of seeing these straight arcade ports! Why not to make 2 collections - straight arcade ports collection and console versions collection, at least? Why developers can't make collections with various console versions of their fighting games(I'm looking at you, CAPCOM and SNK!)? Only shoot 'em up games' developers can port their games with almost all versions available! One game can have arcade version, Commodore 64 version, ZX Spectrum version, MSX2 version, X68000 version, PS1 version, Game Boy version and etc. Why only shoot 'em up games have a such good treatment?! Sigh That's disappointing... During the Dreamcast/Nintendo GameCube/PS2/Xbox Original era, there was A LOT OF ports of arcade fighting games WITH EXCLUSIVE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS AND VARIOUS BONUSES. During the 7th generation(Wii), amount of console ports of arcade games with console-exclusive characters was almost the same, but, mostly, that was ports of Taito Type X² and NESiCAxLive games. At 8th generation(Wii U, Nintendo Switch), there was a boom of SNK fighting games' ports. Also CAPCOM released Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection... But these were only straight arcade ports. No ports of previous console versions/compilations... And they still release only straight arcade ports of their fighting(other genres including) games. That's disappointing and annoying for me.
Commodore 64 collection would be nice.
@gb_nes_gamer I'm dreaming of a collection of arcade fighting games with console versions option available! Port of PS2 version of The King of Fighters XI, port of PS2/PSP Japan-only collection of Vampire/Darkstalkers games, port of PS2 version of SAMURAI SPIRITS Tenkaichi Kenkakuden/Samurai Showdown VI, port of PS2 version of NEO GEO BATTLE COLISEUM, and many other fighting games...
ATHFjman18
There were only 2 that have rubbed me the wrong way (that I can recall at least).
The confusing 5 tiers or whatever they were trying to push for Sonic Origins completely turned me off and I never bothered and likely now never will. Just sell me the whole package or don't. It was stupid to me.
The handling of the FF Pixel Remaster physical edition has also rubbed me the wrong way. First off it was $75 plus a ridiculous $25 shipping for the standard edition. That MIGHT have given me pause, if I ever had a spitballs chance of even being able to order it in the first place.
Nutsalad
Would be nice to get some first party compilations.
Wexter
@AtlanteanMan I think Midway was absorbed into Time Warner and with the issues that company has had recently I don't think Midway is at the top of their priority list at the moment... Sadly...
Ryu_Niiyama
I have been loving the compilations myself. Really makes the switch a one stop shop.
Serpenterror
The Disney Afternoon Collection with more games on there would be fantastic. The original only had 6 games, with a new one they could easily add the three Mickey Magical Quest games, Goof Troop, Aladdin, and the Little Mermaid on there. To make it really worth it they could bundle it with Duck Tales Remastered too. Though that game came out on everything including the Wii U, it would be nice to have a version on Switch as well.
Bishop_Saturn
Personally, I love classic collections - going all the way back to Mario Allstars. Of the recent releases, TMNT is my favorite thus far, but I also enjoyed Sonic Origins, regardless of its flaws, as well as Street Fighter and Mega Man.
I'd love to see a Monkey Island collection, a Sid Meier's collection, a Maxis collection and a Simpsons collection.
lacaras4
I'm really enjoying some of the high quality collections on Switch, I would love a Sega Arcade collection, Sega made some of the best arcade games in the 90s, I'd love a way to play a lot of them in one package.
Good stuff here. What I really want is a collection of the Marvel vs Capcom games. That one may be a little hard to pull off though.
shoeses
We all know a Simpsons Collection would sell just by allowing people to own the arcade game w/o it being removed after a few years, the other games would just be icing on the cake. But even more than that I'd love to see a collection of old Marvel games: the X-Men Beat 'Em Up, X-Men vs SF to Marvel vs Capcom 2, all the Avengers, Spider-Man, & Punisher games, the painful Silver Surfer and LJN X-Men game - there's so much they could do with that. Heck, make 2 Collections - one for the arcade games, the other for console ones. ... Sadly that won't likely happen because of all the red tape involved in licensing between so many companies.
Mana_Knight
@Daimando Came here to say just that. I don't get the silence on that character.
AmplifyMJ
That was a great article. I'm still annoyed about Sonic Origins, as a massive Michael Jackson fan, I was day one until it became clear it would NOT have the proper soundtrack. That would have been my first Sonic purchase since Sonic Advance I reckon, but nah, they messed it up.
Mgalens
@Mana_Knight
those ones on n64 were 2 of my fave games on the entire system, i would love to see goemon get the compilation treatment even maybe including english versions of the 16 bit ones.
konami does seem to lean into the collection aspect quite a bit (similar with capcom) so maybe there is hope that if we do see them again they will be in a collection we can buy rather than NSO exclusive.
daveMcFlave
Cowabunga Collection rocks, especially with the recent update. I'm still holding out on a comprehensive / complete Turrican collection, though I really enjoy the series.
I enjoyed Sonic Origins, and also Sega Genesis Classics, but both of those games pale in comparison to Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. It had all of the games from the newer collections had, plus a ton of secret stuff, unlockable master system and arcade games. People really took it for granted back then.
Edd-O
@Daimando This x 1000
Ganbare Goemon 2 on the SNES finally getting an English translation after nearly 30 years, OMG it would be great.
Great article! It has been a good year for retro compilations and hopefully companies will wake and dedicate actual resources to competently rereleasing their back catalogues. Retro compilations need to provide more than just straight emulations. Of course, they need to start with emulating the game just as good as PC emulators but official compilations with special features like histories, art, bestiaries, soundtracks can out compete them. They are selling nostalgia (even to people who never played the games) and they need to provide that with more than just the game.
joey302
I wish Warner Bros would get off their tail and put out a nice big juicy compilation of Midway/Atari Games classic arcade game collection for the current consoles! Sorely missed by many!!!
@joey302 Or a Mortal Kombat Complete HD Collection with MK1-9, Ultimate, Trilogy, Unchained, Tournament Edition, Gold, Mythologies, and Shaolin Monks all included on there. Just imagine the amount of easy money they could make for just having that.
Teksetter
I've really enjoyed the carefully-curated Atari and SNK Anniversary collections on Switch for the smooth emulation and all the extras. The Capcom Arcade Museum collections are great, too, but really need a physical release.
Here's hoping Midway and other cool collections finally join the party next year!
I should add thx to the comments that I'd LOVE to see a Sega Arcade collection- I don't know what the problem is Sega but I'm still bugged about you guys pulling the plug on the Sega Ages line! And it was only on Switch to make even less sense!
Also would love to see an Activision 2600 collection as they're some of the best games ever made for the Atari 2600!! Many of them still play soooo well today!!
@Serpenterror was never the biggest MK fan or fighting games in general but hey toss the first three MK games in there with the other classics and it's a Day one purchase for me! Lol just don't see any indication of it happening!
Thankfully the 360 version of Midway Arcade Origins is backwards compatible so I can still play those on my Series X! So Kudos to Microsoft there!
Kiyata
It's highly disappointing that activision and intellivision are sound asleep. Now is the time, strike while the iron is sizzling hot… bring compilations of their games to the switch! They did it for many other consoles before! People would love to play these classics now.
As a side note, that Touch Me game featured above, from the Atari 50 set, is the biggest reason I bought that on switch. Despite the disturbing lack of touch controls (on a touch me game - imagine that!), it's still nice to have it, because I still have my original extremely well played handheld touch me from 1979 in fairly good working condition, though it would be more ideal to play a touch controlled one on switch. Developers have gotten so lazy these days.
dartmonkey
Some excellent suggestions for collections in these comments!
Beetlebum91
Disney should put out as many disney, star wars, marvel collections as they can, the 3d stuff too like toy story 2 and Tarzan.
And since they own fox now, simpsons, alien etc
And the later games too like punisher (xbox ps2), xmen legends (xbox gc ps2) and the simpsons game (360), so many games should be easily playable again.

Great article. I'm a huge sucker for the retro collections myself, so it's great when they are done well.
Retro collections I'd like to see:
Tekken PSX Trilogy
Classic Mortal Kombat Collection
Xenosaga Collection
Ecco the Dolphin
Eternal Champions
GTA PSX Collection
Tenchu
Tomb Raider PS Collection
Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy
Castlevania 3D Collection
Doctor-Moo
Looking forward to the Mega Man BN and Ray'Z Arcade collections next year. I'm going to skip FF Pixel Remasters because it doesn't include the original, un-remastered versions, and thus it fails as a retro compilation in my view.
kingbk
There have been a ton of great retro collections on the Switch. I buy up most of them, even the overpriced ones because I'm a sucker who wants to play original Space Invaders and original Arkanoid and will overpay to get these compilations to play the originals and never touching the "new" ones on them.
Like others, I'd love an Atari Games/Midway/Williams collection. Defender, Joust, Robotron 2084, Marble Madness, Paperboy, Gauntlet and others in a collection would be fabulous.
I'd also love it if Rare Replay came over. Microsoft has been friendly on other things for Nintendo, but still not on this, which makes no sense as these are older games that mostly originated on Nintendo consoles.
I'm happy there are some Sega games on the Switch like Shinobi, Out Run and a bunch of Genesis stuff, but I'd love a Saturn collection or Dreamcast collection. Or at least Crazy Taxi (Sorry, Taxi Chaos is NOT the same thing).
Turbografx-16 collection would be cool as well.
I just can't justify playing these old games again, especially when simply repackaged as a cash grab. When there are so many new adventures to go on coming out weekly, it's just not thrilling to replay games with painful mechanics (in a lot of cases) just for a nostalgia dopamine hit.
The Atari 50 seems cool though from this description, I like the interactive history museum type idea.

Kind of insulting to put collections like Capcom Fighters and Ninja Turtles alongside Sonic Origins in the thumbnail. One of these games is not like the others.

@Diogmites "A lot of great collections mentioned in this article. I want to mention the Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection.
This is mainly because while it includes comprehensive character bios, series history and art gallery, similar to the Street Fighter Collection, it also features video of iconic tournament matches complete with a written breakdown of each. That's just slammin, baby."
And Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection is currently on sale in North America for 75% off! It's a no-brainer for anyone with a passing interest in fighting games. It only goes on sale once a year, so...act fast...and all that.
A while ago I googled for lists of the best Neo Geo games. I looked for ranked lists at least 25 games long. I ended up finding 7 qualifying lists with 132 unique games and a total of 410 separate entries.
Samurai Shodown II ended up the #7 best Neo Geo game.
Samurai Shodown ended up the #17 best Neo Geo game.
The other games included aren't as essential, but you get 2 stone-cold classics and a handful more of very good ones.

@Kiyata
There are two decent Intellivision comps on Evercade, seeing as they're about ready to go bust I'm assuming their IP will be up for bids soon.
There are some Sega games that are still trapped in licensing limbo — I'm glad they took the time to update the Ferrari sprite so that Outrun is available to play, but it would be great if they did something similar with Outrun 2, the Afterburner games, and sort out whatever issues they have with the voice samples in the arcade versions of Golden Axe.

Pac-Man Museum+ should've been mentioned, it's such a great collection, and I think does the whole franchise justice (even despite Ms. Pac or World not being included)!

Supplementary Material for: Screening for Language Disorders in Stroke: German Validation of the Language Screening Test (LAST)
2016-04-20T00:00:00Z (GMT) by Koenig-Bruhin M. Vanbellingen T. Schumacher R. Pflugshaupt T. Annoni J.M. Müri R.M. Bohlhalter S. Nyffeler T.
Background: Screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to early language therapy. The Language Screening Test (LAST), originally developed in French, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language deficit within a few minutes. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate two parallel German versions of the LAST. Methods: The LAST includes subtests for naming, repetition, automatic speech, and comprehension. For the translation into German, task constructs and psycholinguistic criteria for item selection were identical to the French LAST. A cohort of 101 stroke patients were tested, all of whom were native German speakers. Validation of the LAST was based on (1) analysis of equivalence of the German versions, which was established by administering both versions successively in a subset of patients, (2) internal validity by means of internal consistency analysis, and (3) external validity by comparison with the short version of the Token Test in another subset of patients. Results: The two German versions were equivalent as demonstrated by a high intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.91. Furthermore, an acceptable internal structure of the LAST was found (Cronbach's α = 0.74). A highly significant correlation (r = 0.74, p < 0.0001) between the LAST and the short version of the Token Test indicated good external validity of the scale. Conclusion: The German version of the LAST, available in two parallel versions, is a new and valid language screening test in stroke.

IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja will host Ghanaian leading golf club, Achimota Club of Accra, in an international match-play friendly to mark Nigeria's 58th Independence anniversary.
The Ghanaian contingent of 50 golfers will slug it out with their Nigerian counterparts in a double match-play on the 18-holes golf course at the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja, today. The single match-play between the two clubs holds tomorrow after the Independence Cup tournament.
The visit by Ghanaian golfers is in keeping to the long held traditional where both West African nations engage in match-play for the past 15 years as a mark of comradeship to commemorate their national days.
The chairman, Independence Day Golf Tournament Organising Committee and vice-captain of the IBB Golf Club, Shola Awoyungbo, said upon arrival, the Ghanaians and other invited guests would be treated to a cocktail.
He said both Nigeria and Ghana share common values in education, business, politics and sports dating back to the past when Ghana used to be known as Gold Coast.
"Independence Day Golf event is a major item in the Club's calendar and it is put together every year to celebrate our country.
"It is part of our commitment and what we stand for in remembrance of our country. It is also to appreciate the government of the day for their achievement.
"The matches play part of the tournament is a long tradition and friendship established with Ghanaian leading golf club, Achimota, and they are coming with 55 golfers," Awoyungbo said.
The Independence Day Golf Tournament will feature a total number of 312 players, who will jostle for trophies and souvenirs in different categories, including men, ladies and veterans. Shotgun format will be used to tee off the players in the morning and afternoon.
The captain of IBB Club, Oseni Ahmed, encouraged other participating guests to tee-off a commemorative Independence Day Golf Tournament, one on both the front and back in order to avoid slow play due to the large turnout of golfers for the annual event.
Aside from golf, IBB Club tennis section will also host 20 Ghanaian tennis players from Borma Tennis Club of Accra in a match play to commemorate the Independence Day.


ANALYSIS - Cattle and sheep farmers are to be offered a vaccine to tackle the dreaded Schmallenberg virus, a bunyavirus spread by midges causing congenital malformations by transmitting to the foetus from the infected cow or ewe, writes Michael Priestley, TheCattleSite editor.
A vaccine, put through clinical trials by MSD animal health, could stop another swathe of breeding stock becoming infected. The product is currently on regulatory submission in several European countries.
Late in 2011, milk yield decreases were observed on dairy farms with little knowledge of the causative agent. Eventually, this was identified as the Schmallenberg virus, says Lawrence Williamson, Global Marketing Director at MSD/Merck Animal Health.
Schmallenberg, named after the German town where it was first isolated, is noted for its rapid spread. As a bunyavirus, it is more typically seen closer to the equator but has adapted, moved north and presented farmers with a new challenge.
Now spread across most of Europe and all counties of England and Wales, Schmallenberg impacts heavily on the reproductive side of enterprises with many calves and lambs born deformed and dying soon after birth.

'Astro Boy' studio Imagi closes
1:26 AM PST 2/9/2010 by Associated Press , AP
'TMNT' producer lost $93 mil in half-year to Sept. 30
HONG KONG -- The Hong Kong studio behind "TMNT" and "Astro Boy" has shut down as its parent company tries to recover from losses.
Imagi International Holdings Ltd. said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange that it stopped funding its computer animation studio on Friday "to further preserve its limited liquidity and shareholder value." The studio will ask a Hong Kong court to name liquidators, the statement issued Monday said.
But Imagi said it will continue to develop movie ideas and outsource the actual animation work to China and other countries, where costs are lower.
Starting out as a Christmas tree manufacturer, the Hong Kong company went into computer animation in 2000 and was touted as a successful transition to a high-tech economy. In 2007,
Imagi released its first feature movie, "TMNT." The English-language production based on the characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon series in the 1980s earned a solid $95.6 million worldwide, according to the boxoffice tracking Web site Box Office Mojo.
But Imagi's second release, "Astro Boy," fared poorly last year. Despite hiring an all-star cast including Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson to voice the characters from the Japanese comic book series by the same name, the film only made $23 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
In its latest financial results, Imagi said it recorded a net loss of 726 million Hong Kong dollars ($93.4 million) for the six months that ended on Sept. 30, 2009 -- just before "Astro Boy" was released in October.
Imagi also owes some HK$36 million ($4.6 million) in back pay to the 350 employees it laid off, Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing labor organizers working with the former employees.
A woman handling press calls for Imagi said the company had no comment pending a further statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange. She declined to give her name.


Sharp down to the ground.
Head to the office or formal occasions looking smart in these Ted Baker Oxford shoes. In a rich brown with contrasting blue lining and laces, they're sophisticated and include Ted's signature bold touches. Made with leather uppers and rubber soles, they'll stay in excellent condition wear after wear too.
Pair with a charcoal suit, white shirt and matching bold blue tie for a co-ordinated and stylish look.
Quick delivery to the store.
Great and good to wear!!!
same as above but when i challenged the guy in Moss Bros Colliers Wood about my email or txt (as they had my number) he then twisted saying it might be in my junk(which i had already checked) and that i should of just came and checked for it earlier which i would have done but i wouldnt of been happy if i would have wasted my time and my petrol to come there when u said u would email me when its ready for collection.
Great fit as I have trouble finding the same size between stores. Comfortable as I could wear these for long periods of time.

Woodbridge High School is a public high school located in Irvine, California, serving grades 9-12. Founded in 1980, it has an approximate enrollment of 2,200 students. Woodbridge has many athletic teams (baseball, cross country, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, etc.) which have participated in numerous CIF competitions. The school also has a very competitive Marching band (which won many state championships and a national championship led by directors Joslyne Blasdel and Brad Harris) and an orchestra. Woodbridge High School was built with intentions of having it become a shopping center if student enrollment was low, as Principal Tom Nelson said in Fall 2003. In the past two years, new administration has been added that includes all of the current Vice Principals: Jason Viloria, Sheila Adams, and Belinda Averill. In March 2008, Tom Nelson announced retirement and Vice Principal, Jason Viloria, became the new principal.
Woodbridge is currently undergoing many improvements and renovations. A recent example is the new Aquatic Center which contains a 50 meter by 25 yard swimming pool, portable bleachers, restroom facilities and locker rooms.
Of note, the 1989 movie Gleaming the Cube starring Christian Slater was filmed partially at Woodbridge High School.

Here are the principal points about wall switches ,From here you will get the solution specifics such as description,function ,price and some other most effective related goods ,you can get the info that which is the best to get and uncover the discount price.
if you wish to read far more testimonials about wall switches or relevant item,it truly is easy to click around the image and get far more information regarding the solutions which you interesting,if you would like to buy the item ,you will need to study a lot more critiques.
adventurer68 asked Why does the wall switch not control the ceiling fan and light system?
All my three bedrooms have fan/light fixture, but none of the wall switches now can turn on the light or fan. I now use pull chains. Once, the switch turned on the fan in one room, but the light in another room stopped working with pull chain. The three switches control the wall outlet perfectly. Please help.
The lights must be on a separate circut than the outlet switches in at least two of the rooms. The builder may have attached the fans/lights to their own direct curcit with no wall switch just the ceiling box. To test this turn the fans with lights on by the pull cords put separate lamps into a wall outlets you know are controled by the light switchs and turn them on as well. You should now have both the fan/lights and the lamps on, so now go to your breaker box. Hopefully it is marked but if not This is a good time to do this. Just start switching one off at a time marking down what each ones goes to until you find the ones that control the fan/lights and the lamps. If they both go out at the same time in each room they are on one breaker if not they are like I think and are separate. If they are the same breaker you will need an electrician to come and run a new wire from the ceiling box to the wall box and change the plate out to a two switch plate. If they are separate you have a problem in the ceiling box or pull switch in the fan that wont turn on and off any more. You can have the part or the whole fan replaced. If you want the fan to be controled also by a wall switch you will have to hire an electrician to do the job for you. What would be worse is if all of the ceiling boxes are all on one circut and all go out together, then you realy need an electrician to un do this mess.

How to Detect Inclined Water Maser Disks (and Possibly Measure Black Hole Masses)

title={How to Detect Inclined Water Maser Disks (and Possibly Measure Black Hole Masses)},
author={Jeremy Darling},
journal={The Astrophysical Journal},

J. Darling
The Astrophysical Journal
We describe a method for identifying inclined water maser disks orbiting massive black holes and for potentially using them to measure black hole masses. Owing to the geometry of maser amplification pathways, the minority of water maser disks are observable: only those viewed nearly edge-on have been identified, suggesting that an order of magnitude additional maser disks exist. We suggest that inward-propagating masers are gravitationally deflected by the central black hole, thereby scattering…
