"And you would've chosen your own husband, when you were good and ready." Tanya uses the hem of her linen sundress (Eileen Fisher colour-block, $315, Nordstrom) to wipe a fleck of dust from the champagne flute (Waterford crystal, $99 each, Bloomingdales) at Neil's place at the table.
Marilyn's image shimmers for a minute and Tanya nods. Yes, brainac Neil is the one. After the first time Tanya brought him home, Marilyn's portrait glowed approval for days. Dr. Yates mightn't earn as much as Tanya but he's loyal, super fit, and a tenured professor.
After all this time, he is going to propose. She's been hinting for the past few months that this is what she wants. So far she's pulled the train in their relationship but now it's his turn to take control.
Tanya fluffs her dyed blonde hair and perches on the side of a dining chair (Billy Haines, circa 1950's, $2,500, Best Choice Antiques). When Neil blows in he pauses for a moment, as always, and looks from her to Marilyn and back again, as if he can't tell which is which. Tanya loves this game.
In one hand he carries a bottle of champagne. Her smile broadens (Dom Perignon, 1955, $1,100, Vintage Cellars). In the other he brandishes an envelope.
"Happy anniversary," Tanya says in a throaty, practised whisper.
"Happy anniversary." Neil kisses her on the neck so he won't smear her lipstick (Serge Luten, Mise a Mott, $75, the Beauty Spot). When they step apart, he slides the envelope into her hand.
She tears it open to find a card with a picture of Marilyn on the front. The legend looks unusually buxom as if someone has photoshopped her image. A thin slip of paper slides into Tanya's hands. On the wall Marilyn's portrait clouds over.
"This certificate entitles Tanya Monroe to a surgical breast augmentation to the value of $10,000."

Buffalo Bills and finding inspiration in a broken heart
The Buffalo Bills season ended in heartbreaking fashion. But every heartbreak can be what binds a fanbase together and what connects all sports fans.
"Wait!" I shout into the phone. Then my voice gets quieter. "There's still enough time for the Chiefs to win…"
In the waning moments of what's been widely hailed as one of the most epic playoff games in NFL history, I'm talking to Dr. Peter Francia, public-opinion researcher and political science professor at East Carolina University. Known as "Dr. Francia" to his students, as well as the media pundits who reach out to him year after year for his expert analysis on voting trends, I know him simply as Pete — one of my dearest friends and easily my favorite person to talk sports with.
I'm so in the habit of texting Francia during football games, in fact, that I have to make it a point to leave my phone on the other side of the room lest I miss a great play because I'm too busy with my nose pointed down at my phone screen. Tonight, though, as I watch Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen connect with Gabriel Davis for yet another touchdown with just 13 seconds left in the game, the excitement and surrealism of the moment is just too much.
I reach for the phone.
A few minutes later, when the Chiefs win the coin toss after tying the game, Francia wails into my ear from 700 miles away, echoing what countless people across Western New York State must be saying at the exact same time: "No, no, noooooooooo!!!!"
Although Francia, who was raised in northern New Jersey, is a lifelong fan of the New York Giants, I appreciate talking to him above all other sports fans I know because, like me, he's as much a fan of the game as he is of his own team. Unlike those homers who disconnect from the playoffs as soon as their team is out of contention — or the superfans who can't help but steer every conversation about the sport back to their team — Francia sees the bigger picture. Like me, he's enraptured by the story, as if every season matters in the grand scheme, an arc of victory and defeat that somehow mirrors life for all of us, regardless of your team affiliation.
And, like Francia, I'm not a Bills homer either. But I live in the Western New York city of Rochester, where I first met Francia over 25 years ago. Located 60 miles east of Buffalo, Rochester — where it seems like you can spot a flag with the team logo flying in front of homes on every block — is deep in Bills country. This means that I can't help but have a deep, abiding affection for the team. For Francia — who lived here as an undergrad from 1992 to 1996 and once told me, "You don't realize how much you love that area until you leave it" — four years were enough for the Bills to carve a place in his heart that they've never left. As Francia and I watch, though, we're well aware that the Bills aren't our team. We'll never take it quite as personally because, if we're telling the truth, we're just sympathetic observers. We can detach.
That's what we tell ourselves, at least.
"Now I need to drink," Francia texts me after the game. "My blood pressure is super-high right now." He's half-joking, but I know he's hurting. "I really wanted Buffalo to win," his text concludes.
No surprise, Francia and I both go to bed with that awful, sinking feeling in the pits of our stomachs. The thought of the coming week — that this will be how history is written, that the outcome will be the same tomorrow, and that it's unchangeable — looms over my thoughts like one of those giant, foreboding gray cloud masses that threatens to swallow the sky as it portends ominously of heavy precipitation to come. I wonder about the blanket of despair that's about to descend on the entire region I live in. I wonder — in all seriousness — whether anyone might be more likely to take their own life after a game like that.

If this is how bad it feels for people like Francia and me — noncommittal fans with one foot in and one foot out — I can only imagine how devastating this must be for the Bills faithful around me. Strangely, though, my feelings are being tugged by a contrasting sensation. I'm nearly overcome with a sense of admiration and gratitude that I will only comprehend in full once I've had more time to reflect. I'm not quite sure if this is my system's reflexive way of shielding me from the truth — I'm certainly in shock, but I'm not sure if I'm in denial. "I don't think I'm just grasping," I think to myself. For the moment, I can't deny the fact that a part of me feels oddly positive, as if I'd just been given an extraordinary gift. I mean, to watch these players give everything they had in order to try and win…
Late that night, hours after the game is over, I hear the Bills fan who lives across the hall from me sobbing in the hallway. Lately, his neon sign of the team insignia has proudly reflected the team's colors in a purple-y haze onto the snow-covered street in front of the house. The following morning, as it hits me in a dreadful wave that what I saw last night actually did happen, I have a realization that warrants me speaking it aloud: "Wow," I say, "what I'm feeling is actual grief." I didn't check on any of my friends who root for the team because, well … I knew better. I mean, what can you possibly say when someone gets hurt so badly?
1 A loss like the one the Buffalo Bills suffered can inspire actual, visceral feelings of grief
A loss like the one the Buffalo Bills suffered can inspire actual, visceral feelings of grief
While doing the rounds on local media following the loss, Buffalo-based psychiatrist Dr. Wendy Weinstein assured fans in a WGRZ news segment that it's "not at all" a stretch to classify what they're feeling as grief. "Don't try to deal with this alone," she practically pleaded with fans via Spectrum News, advising them in a WKBW segment to "try to let yourself feel it because if you push it away, it'll just come back stronger."
"You thought you'd won!" she marveled in her WGRZ appearance. "[But] you know," she offered, "that's a really good message that I always take from this: 'it's not over 'til it's over' [also] goes in life — if you think something is really going well, you've gotta wait 'til the outcome. [It also works] the opposite way: if you think something's going awful, give it that extra time and wait for the outcome."
Much like University of Georgia psychology professor, Dr. Janet Frick showed after the Bulldogs' crushing loss to Alabama in 2018's college football championship game, Weinstein wasn't just speaking as a mental health expert but as a fan.
"That game," Weinstein observed, "kind of emulated our season—we were winning a few games, then we lost a few games, then we were winning a few, and then we came back, and now we lost. It emulated the history, in a way."
As we inevitably revisit the Bills' divisional-round loss over the coming months, we would do well to heed something Frick said back in 2018:
"What we do know about the [grieving] process now," said Frick, "is that we don't necessarily get over a significant loss. We [just] learn to live with it. We learn how to move forward with that experience."

Of course, you don't need a degree in psychology to understand that this type of loss hurts in a way that can haunt an area for years, if not forever. As an 18-year old college freshman, I watched the 1991 Super Bowl in the dorm room of two sophomores — John, a Giants fan, and Bob, a Bills fan — who held positions that were somewhat akin to RA's assistants. A bunch of us who roomed on the same hall were piled practically on top of one another on Bob's water bed, all of us pitching up and down as waves rolled across the bed with every explosion of cheers and hollers and squeals as the game progressed.
I was utterly disinterested in football at the time, yet I was having a blast, basking in the camaraderie of the occasion, which now cast a warm, golden glow in my memory. There's one moment, of course, that stands out most vividly. As Bills kicker Scott Norwood's kick sailed wide right at the end of the game, Bob howled in anguish. I remember the image of John standing up and cheering, but I was focused on Bob, who rolled over and buried his face in the bed, his body motionless for enough time for it to seem troubling.
Seriously, it was like he'd been shot. I'll never forget it, and I'm guessing Bob remembers like it was yesterday. None of that will likely impress longtime fans of the team, all of whom, if they're old enough, experienced that moment in some fashion similar to the way Bob did. Which is to say: it left a scar.
Since that night over three decades ago, two things have held me back from jumping on board the Bills bandwagon with both feet. First, I've felt reluctant to intrude on something that the football fans in my region have worked for. Like other snakebitten fanbases, Bills fans have invested decades' worth of sweat equity and have truly suffered for the honor of reveling in the team's success. I haven't put the work in. As a spoiled New York City-raised fan, I've been conditioned by teams with a culture of perpetual winning to look down my nose at fandoms cursed by endless loss. This brings me to my second reason for never fully committing to the Bills: I could always afford to back off.
Not only are Big Apple sports fans entitled, but deep down we see losing as something people manifest as if their collective self-esteem is so low that they've somehow brought the losses onto themselves. But the Bills faithful aren't in the same position as the fans of woe begotten, perennially moribund franchises like the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions. It's not like the Bills are reliably terrible. In fact, the situation around here is worse precisely because the organization has excelled fairly reliably, producing multiple generations of teams that have gotten oh-so-close to the mountaintop.
The Bills fanbase has had its hopes elevated, only to have those hopes crushed — in the most brutal, excruciating fashion — multiple times. If part of my hesitation to go all-in arose out of respect, the other part of my hesitation stemmed from a fear of facing defeat and taking the full brunt of what it actually feels like. That all changed after that loss to the Chiefs, where, as it turns out, the Bills stole my heart once and for all.
It's typical for people to fall in love with a team once the team starts winning. I'd hoped the Bills were going to win, and as Josh Allen and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes traded blows like two heavyweight title fighters in the final two minutes of regulation, I started to picture what it would look like if Allen and the Bills walked out of Arrowhead/GEHA with a win. I started to imagine them as victors. I started to think I would love the team for winning.
I had no idea you could feel so inspired by a team in a loss. Yes, I know that if the defense had been able to get even a single stop in the span of 13 seconds, the game would've gone to the Bills. Yes, I'm aware of the argument that Bills head coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier should have opted to squib kick rather than kick the ball into the endzone. Yes, I've read the comments online blasting the defense for not "doing its job." As someone who's never had much, if any, athletic ability, I've always found it odd that people expect Herculean effort from others while sitting comfortably on the couch.
If we want to argue that many athletes make obscene amounts of money — or that their supreme physical gifts rightfully come with higher expectations — that's fair, but it's still not legitimate grounds to expect perfection. I mean, how often do you perform flawlessly at your job when facing the equivalent of Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce? I refuse to chastise anyone who spent 60 minutes' worth of football running and tackling their guts out to the best of their ability. On the contrary, in the wake of an epochal game that's sure to be talked about for decades to come — where "13 seconds" will forever ring in infamy alongside "2nd-and-goal from the 1-yard line" and "28 to 3" — I'm overwhelmed by the wish that I could say one thing to the Bills players in person: Thank you.
I've always thought of moral victories as the desperate refuge of fans whose teams have a chronic habit of not being able to seal the deal. This is different. If, in our assessment of the Buffalo Bills' performance, all we can think to say is that they came up short, that assessment is technically accurate but it misses the bigger picture. I do wonder how much concrete damage it does when the agony of defeat inflicts this kind of disappointment on so many lives. But, if we're being honest, we also have to recognize that the Bills taught us something about the value of effort.
A win would've been amazing. I'm still agonized by my mental images of stunned Chiefs players and fans as the Bills celebrate on Kansas City's field. If only we could have all experienced the glory of such a scene. I must say, however, that what we got instead was priceless — and that's before you even get to the $300,000-plus in donations to a Buffalo children's hospital that Chiefs fans raised, fittingly enough, in $13 increments.
And speaking of Chiefs fans…

"THIS GAME MIGHT SERIOUSLY KILL PEOPLE IN KC AND CINCINNATI!!!!" I yell out loud to no one as the Cincinnati Bengals start clawing their way back into the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs in another historic edge-of-your-seat nail-biter of a game that refused to let up on the thrills. Once again, I can barely stand the tension.
"Good grief," I text my friend Pete. "I need to take sedatives before watching these games."
"I love the NFL," he replies.
Later, in overtime, I text him again: "HOW. MANY. TIMES. is this game going to tantalize us??!"
A few seconds later, I answer myself: "At least once more!"
"Clearly," I text Francia as the game draws to its storybook conclusion, "Cincinnati studied the s*** out of KC's game tape from last week."
Alas, this time I do get to see what it looks like when despondent and miserable Chiefs fans watch another team come in and snatch victory from their team on their home turf.
The following day, multiple former players — including Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson and Marcus Spears — blasted the Chiefs in talk-show segments for their "arrogance," while Mark Schlereth condemned the team for its "football hubris" on the FOX Sports show Speak For Yourself. Opining on Good Morning Football, Carter offered that the Chiefs and their head coach Andy Reid showed "disregard for the basics of football." Brother From Another co-host Michael Smith was emphatic in his assertion that "this was worse" than Buffalo's 13-second debacle the week before.
Of course, I was happy to see the Chiefs lose, but as I put it all in perspective, I wonder about their fanbase too. It must've been one hell of a gut punch to be at that stadium, a place where the team has had such a history of playoff success in the Reid-Mahomes era. I mean, to feel relief when Bengals backup QB Brandon Allen called heads and the coin came up tails to decide which team got the ball first in overtime, only to have that sense of impending victory snatched from their hands…
We may think of the Chiefs fanbase as win-fattened and entitled now, but it wasn't so long ago that both football and baseball fans in Kansas City endured long, torturous droughts of their own. FOX Sports analyst and First Things First host Nick Wright — an unabashed Chiefs homer who gloated and taunted Bills fans a week earlier — captured that history of suffering in a lamentation he recited with near-operatic flair. And as the inevitable comparisons to Dan Marino come up, as more and more of us entertain the question "What if Mahomes never even gets back to another Super Bowl?" the cruel dance of hope that is sports fandom comes into full focus.
The Chiefs, widely viewed as an unstoppable juggernaut and one of the league's premier franchises — if not the premiere franchise — for the past three seasons, appear to be teetering at the precipice of a fate that's eerily reminiscent of the 1990s Buffalo Bills. Trying to make sense of the way the AFC Championship Game unfolded, it's impossible to resist the impression that, with one ill-advised screen pass to Tyreek Hill in the flat at the end of the first half, Patrick Mahomes threw the game away. Did he throw the future away as well?
As we all know, there's a poetry to the way sports history goes down. Sometimes it's just uncanny, as if there's an invisible hand guiding the outcome: the Immaculate Reception, the David Tyree catch, the Philly Philly, and now Bengals safety Von Bell's interception of Mahomes' pass to Hill in overtime.
This is, of course, why we watch. We don't like feeling heartbroken, but it's worth the risk just for the chance that your team can pull off something miraculous — the chance to feel for a few moments, however brief, like we lived through glory in real-time. I feel like I got a taste of that glory, thanks to how valiantly the Bills performed in their loss.
I wonder how it'll play out for Cincinnati's long-suffering fans this Sunday.

Matthew Tamez/ISLAND WAVES – The members of Las Cafeteras are extremely passionate about their music.
Las Cafeteras ends Hispanic Heritage Month with a bang
Matthew Tamez, Reporter
Hispanic Heritage Month has seen many fun and interesting events, from the Hispanic Culture Festival at the Texas State Aquarium to a fun night playing Loteria. However, the best was certainly saved for last.
On Oct. 19, Las Cafeteras came to the Performing Arts Center at TAMU-CC as the first part of this year's Ferguson Bravo! Series. Las Cafeteras is a Chicano Band that spreads positive messages through their Afro-Mexican music and energetic performances.
Las Cafeteras has hints of hip hop and rock in their music.
Denise Carlos, Daniel J. French, Jose Cano, Hector Flores, Jorge Alejandro Mijangos and Xocoyotzin Moraza brought an extremely high energy performance to the Performing Arts Center. With music that was easy to get lost in and musical skill that is a delight to be heard live.
Their music spreads a message of peace, love and justice. The band hails from east of the Los Angeles river and mixes English and Spanish in their songs while also remixing other genres of music such as hip-hop and rock.
Members of the group got into the rhythm of the music and began to dance on stage.
As Las Cafeteras played their music, members would dance along and even invite participation from the audience. Ranging from something as simple to asking them to stand, to offering a microphone to members in the front row, all the way to inviting a large number of audience members on stage for their final performance for the night.
Attendees of the event ranged from individuals who had just recently heard about Las Cafeteras to individuals who have followed their music for quite some time.
Towards the end of the performance, members of the audience were offered the microphone.
"I head about them because I follow them on social media," said Elana Flores, an alum of TAMU-CC. "(Their performance) was amazing. So powerful and it resonated so much with the culture."
"It was very insightful," said Amy Vaiz. "I had never heard music like it. I liked how they put their spin on everything."
Las Cafeteras ended Hispanic Heritage Month with their wonderful music, as well as kicked off the Ferguson Bravo! Series. The series will continue with the Jazz Ambassadors of the US Army Field Band on Nov. 4, Michael Martin Murphy on Dec. 15, M5 Mexican Brass on Feb. 2, Glenn Miller Orchestra on Feb. 20 and Sybarite5 on Feb. 22.
During the last song, members of the audience were invited on to the stage with Las Cafeteras.

The market today is driven by business websites. The first decision goes with whether doing the website yourself or hiring a professional to do it for you. And while there are cheaper options available for having a website, this may often overlook the true essence of promoting your product. Therefore, the wisest decision is to hire a professional who will build the site with the appropriate theme for you. Not yet convinced? Here are a few more reasons why you should have a professional website maker.
First, professionals can do the customizing more than the free existing templates. It does not necessarily mean making one is hard, but professionals definitely had gone through a lot, making them experts in the field. If you opt to do it by yourself, there are actually a lot of free templates upon sign up, but that would make you look like many other websites using the same template.
Second, the return of investment is actually just worth the initial cost. Though you would really spend when hiring a professional, they really make sense for a lot of reasons. With an attractive website, you will have more leads to important customers and clients. Also, having a professional do the website for you makes you save time and effort as you won't need to redo your site later.
Next, a professional always grants an organized content. Even if you are hiring another person to do the website for you, you can still have access and organize your own content. For example, the WordPress allows anyone with access to change, delete or add something on the web page without any hassle.
And finally, if your website involves selling products, it needs to have an eCommerce functionality that has payment features, multiple product pages, order processing, tracking and the likes. And if you are having a hard time in doing this or are not confident enough with doing it yourself, a professional can do it all for you.


To Print or Not to Print - That is the Question!
Think for a minute about how much technology there is around your house. If you were to clean out drawers or closets, would you find old devices or media stuffed away that is no longer accessible? I know I've thrown out old floppy disks, the big ones that were about 5" square (I realize I just dated myself), and the smaller 3" disks in a hard plastic case, which were replaced by CDs and now DVDs and thumb drives and who knows what will come next. In our media cabinet, we have old movies passed down from our parents on tape and our children's home movies on small VCR cassettes that if we could find the adapter and if we still had a VCR machine we could watch. Are you getting my drift?
My son loves going through our family photo albums reviving and reliving precious memories. The photos are tangible and other than some of them fading a bit or getting dog-eared from handling them, they still exist and can be viewed. They are a visual reminder of our family, of vacations and fun times and special occasions. Pictures, and the memories they invoke, make us feel good. My mother-in-law had large, framed wall portraits made of each of her grandchildren when they turned one year of age and proudly hung them in her living room. She is gone now and I have my children's portraits - what a great legacy she left for us. Through these portraits, we are linked to her and someday I will pass these portraits down to my children. What will your children have to look at when you are gone?
It is important to pass traditions and memories down to our children and extended family. Technology changes and despite our best efforts and intentions, honestly how often do you show or even look at your digital images other than on your phone? And what happens to those digital images on your phone when you trade up to a new phone? The best way to preserve the images and memories that are important to you is through printing the images - something you and your family can hold and touch and that won't become obsolete. Think of it as an investment in your family's heritage!

Studying Hadoop or MapReduce can be a daunting task if you get your hand dirty at the start.
Some of the prerequisites for learning Hadoop are having a good experience in Java. Good Analytical skills help a lot as well and final secret sauce for being successful is – you need to be motivated to self learn lot of things in the bigdata arena.
Then go for the first two lectures in http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490h/08au/lectures.htm A very good course intro to MapReduce and Hadoop.
Then go for all the other videos in the U.Washington link given above.
will help you learn as to how model your problem into a MR solution in order to gain the advantages of Hadoop in total.

I don't have any experience in Java. Still can I able to learn Hadoop?
Hello I'm a network admin Windows side looking into getting into Hadoop training I have no knowledge except reading about it as well no programming skills, I see Java is required and understanding of it . What Java course u recommend I take ( intro to java programming or some other one in java)? Would java be good only then I can take Hadoop Administration course or I need Linux experenince as well? If u can please let me know thanks.
MapReduce and HDFS is not about Language, but more about conceptually understanding how distributed components work. If you are good with Computer Science, and algorithms, language won't be a difficult thing to pick up for Hadoop. Also, as hadoop supports hadoop-streaming, you are not bound by the lanuage. I'll prefer Python as its easier to learn and has good learning resources around it (http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/python).
I recently started my job search, and heard about hadoop in recent times. Before hearing about Hadoop I thought of getting trained in Java. Now, I'm in a dilemma to choose between Java Developer/ Hadoop. I need some advice regarding this… If we know java can we get ourself trained in Hadoop and Do Hadoop really need hands on experience in Java. I just know oops concepts in Java..
I don't have experience in any computer language, can I still be able to learn Hadoop? I know it will be very difficult.
can any one answer this question …..
why we are using Writables in hadoop for data transformation …..through networks …?
already we have a serialization in java ….?
Hello Sir I'm a System admin on Windows side and i am looking into getting into Hadoop.
Can I take Hadoop Administration course or I need to learn Jave & Linux First?
One does not need to be a Java programmer to program MapReduce Jobs. You can use any language of choice and write your MapReduce jobs. Look at https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-hadoop-and-mapreduce–ud617 for example. A Course on MapReduce and only uses Python.

Kin interview
August 30th, 2016 § 0 comments § permalink
What else will be done? Kin plans to make a second version of his motion flight simulator. His second version will vary from the first in that it will have a 7 axis motion platform instead of the current 4. The current design only has 4 axis of freedom, one controlling the up and down movement, one for tilt, one for roll, and the bottom for the rotation. With the second design, it will include 3 new axis of freedom, a horizontal axis of freedom controlling left to right motion, one for the side to side movement, full degree of angle acceleration. The current also has a maximum tilt degree of 30 degrees. The new design has a maximum platform degree of over 60 degrees but for safety reasons, it will be capped at 60. This 7 axis motion platform will make the motion flight simulator more realistic. This new design is revolutionary because no one has incorporated all these components before. Version two will take approximately 4 months and Kin hopes it will be finished in November of 2016. He plans to have a workshop when finished and if people are interested, Kin would like to show have a "How to build a helicopter simulator" workshop but only if a lot of people are interested. After the completion of his version two, he will build a version 3 of his motion flight simulator which will take about 8 months after version two to complete. Kin expects it to be available around July of 2017. After version 3 and using the same concept and structural designs, Kin plans on building a robotic arm that can move as much as the human arm, up and down, rotating in every angle, and being able to push, pull, and lift. It will be able to go up and down while it rotates and up and down while it pushes. It can also stretch out and recompress. The most important quality of the robotic arm is that it will be able to lift a lot of weight. With the design that he has in mind, Kin expects the robotic arm to weigh about 60 kg, and stand about 400 mm. It should lift at least 40 kg and have 45 degrees of freedom on either side. The meaning of this application is that you can build very high precision applications with the robotic arm. Conventional robotic arm has all its connections on a gear box. The limit of the gear box, is very obvious and requires a lot of torque which is one downside. It is very difficult to give it precision when lifting heavy weights with conventional robotic arms Kin's design takes that into consideration and is able to bypass the limit allowing his robotic arm to move and life very precisely. Kin has taught not only himself but 8 other students how to fly a helicopter with his simulation. They all have learned how to fly with 9 hours of land instructions, 1 hour on the flight simulator and 10 minutes with real helicopter flight. Kin still has many ideas and a lot more projects that he want to do in the future. He is a very resourceful and ambitious person. He seeks out knowledge by watching videos and going on Tao Bao and getting tips from the merchants on what parts to use and how to use it. He is very excited about the possibilities and applications of his innovations and hopes to help share his dream of flying to all those around him.]]>

William's Internship Review

William Kim Internship Review
SMIC Private School, as a XinCheJian intern to our space for over 100 hours between July 15th and July 27th 2015 at our Hero Center location (Jing'an, Shanghai). XinCheJian is a community space focused on technology that provides its members with a space to work on their project, Internet access, tools and components in an atmosphere focused on making. As the space sees heavy use daily by members, it's essential for us to have people in charge of the space to help and interns are very appreciated in that role. In school, William had already shown great leadership being president of both the computer sciences and the sciences club. He's planning on pursuing studies in Computer Sciences or Electronic Engineering abroad so was looking for a volunteer internship relevant to his interests. To that end, he already acquired skills in programming and Arduino microcontrollers which are very useful within an Hackerspace. William first took on the space as a project in itself, completing over 50 different individual tasks. Increasing entropy is a natural state of things, especially in an hackerspace that sees many projects and many contributions. Regular cleaning and sorting is required to get the handle on the chaos. First set of tasks he took on covered a massive and much needed cleaning and installing of new shelves to allow better sorting of the electronics components that followed. Another good organization innovation was the labeling of the rental storage boxes to track usage. Another significant tasks was around XinCheJian computers: from testing the donated computers to making sure that as many of them were functional with Internet access. In addition, he's taken the initiative in promoting the space through videos and welcoming personally members to the space, introducing them to the hackerspace. He signed up 7 new members to the space. He also supported the Arduino workshops organized by Yu, another intern. William's contributions, completing his Objectives and Key Results set at the start at 100%, have made the space more efficient and a better working space for all makers. William's work ethics, knowledge and initiative were impressive and all the senior members that have worked with him believe he has a bright future ahead of him.]]>

What does Jennifer Bartlett want? Disability justice. When does she want it? Now.
Among all the controversy with the Women's Marches last month, the fight widely overlooked was the one for disability justice. Not surprising given that people with disabilities are often cast aside, despite being one of the largest minority groups in the nation at nearly 13 percent of the population.
Local poet and disability rights activist Jennifer Bartlett is working hard to change that.
Bartlett, a self-described white woman with cerebral palsy, a neurological condition caused by birth trauma that manifests as an awkward gait and a speech impediment, has demanded more than compliance with 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation. She wants leadership roles in the planning of such large-scale events, and for those with disabilities to be highlighted verses tokenized or minimized, as Bartlett wrote on Facebook.
Moreover, Bartlett makes clear an important distinction — it is not about having someone with a disability sit on a board, but having someone with a disability who is actively working to represent the community hold a board position.
So, while it's possible that inadequate accommodations may have made the Women's March NYC difficult for the 49-year-old Greenpoint resident to navigate, it was the lack of inclusion that led her to organize the first-ever Non-March for Disabled Women.
Bartlett traces her own transition from advocate to activist to roughly twenty years ago, when she was writing articles about disabled people for WeMedia, a now-defunct website.
"It was the first time in my life I got to know a lot of disabled people. It was interesting; I noticed the language they were using," she says.
Since then, Bartlett has been tireless in her efforts to bring public awareness to numerous issues people with disabilities face, as well as what should be obvious — that they deserve the same respect and opportunities as able-bodied people.
As a contributor to the New York Times; co-editor of "Beauty is a Verb," the first anthology of poets with disabilities; and other writing projects in the works, she's sure to employ the power of the pen along with direct action to make her voice heard.
In April 2017, months before Andy Byford was a name associated with NYC Transit, Bartlett co-founded the Rise and Resist Elevator Action Group (EAG).
The EAG regularly attended transit meetings to demand the MTA to address the meager 24 percent accessible subway stations. They staged rallies and protests, and aligned with other groups for their on-going "Elevators are for Everyone" campaign, which sheds light on the diverse mix of subway riders who need and rely on working elevators.
When Byford was hired as transit president, fellow EAG activist Jessica Murray presented him with a subway map pierced with pushpins — red to delineate inaccessible stations and blue accessible — and invited him to ride the subway. Byford agreed.
Byford spent several hours traversing the system as the group encountered what they expected — issues such as slow or broken elevators, out-of-service card readers and necessary updates to elevator signage.
The unexpected happened when they ordered breakfast.
Byford asked questions about the exchange. It was clear to Barlett that he grasped there weren't just accessibility issues that disabled her; it was also the daily prejudice in simple interactions. She said she thought to herself, I would really like to work with this guy.
The universe heard her request.
Late last year, amidst perhaps the transit system's most critical — and criticized — time in its history, Bartlett was tapped to be a training and outreach specialist for systemwide accessibility on the team led by the MTA's first-ever accessibility chief, Alex Elegudin. She's currently writing sensitivity training manuals, and will soon hold etiquette sessions for bus operators.


On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued its updated Internal Control Integrated Framework (Framework) and related illustrative documents. This update, the first since COSO's original 1992 Framework, contains a number of changes that may significantly impact the way your organization approaches internal controls, including implementation, monitoring and reporting.
The following is a high-level summary of the update.
Why was the Framework updated?
Business and operating environments have changed dramatically and are more complex, technically driven and global in scope.
Stakeholders are more engaged, seeking greater transparency and accountability for the integrity of the internal control systems that supports business decisions and governance.
Significant events have occurred over the past 20 years that have had a lasting impact on risks, control environments and control activities.
The updated Framework will supersede the original Framework on Dec. 15, 2014.
During the transition, external reporting should disclose which Framework was used.
Implementation and transition to the 2013 Framework will take a fair amount of time and effort. Consider engaging the right resources and level of support from outside your organization in order to seamlessly implement and transition to the 2013 Framework without overburdening your internal resources.

Lamb numbers were tight at UK auction marts following a slow spring, with auctioneers estimating Scottish and northern marts were about three weeks behind where they would usually be.
According to figures from AHDB, prices for new season lamb SQQ stood at 258.06p/kg for the week ending May 30, down 8p/kg with old season lamb down 25p/kg at 194.48p/kg.
But total throughputs were down 22 per cent on the year, with new season lamb down 30,000 head.
Sedgemoor auctioneer Paul Ashton said prices dropped back last week but had since started to increase again.
"We had a much better trade," he said.
Skipton auctioneer Ted Ogden said new season lamb prices had actually hardened over the last 10 days and old season lamb numbers were 'much tighter' as they approached the end of the season.
"New season lamb is hard to come by. With the cold spring, lambs had a slow start," he said.
He said lambs 'will catch up', but northern farmers were about two to three weeks behind.
Tam Struthers, auctioneer with Lawrie and Symington, said farmers in Scotland were 'a few weeks behind due to the weather'.
"Usually, numbers are starting to increase now," he said.
Mr Ashton added there also seemed to be price pressure from the retail side following high prices over the past few months.
And buyers seemed to have 'quite a bit of resistance to the lighter lambs'.
"I think previously, when the trade was really flying, farmers were trying to send out anything virtually fit to catch the market," he said.
"Everyone is wanting things well covered. For old season lamb, anything which is lacking meat is heavily discounted.
For beef, Mr Struthers said they were seeing a 'very good trade'.
"Deadweight pricing has been pretty steady for the past few weeks," he said.
Ramadan has supported cull ewe prices as Muslims across the UK gear up for the Eid al-Fitr festival.
Skipton auctioneer Ted Ogden said it had 'gone quiet' for a week after the first seven days of Ramadan.
"Prices in the last week or 10 days have hardened again," he said.
Paul Ashton, Sedgemoor, said: "Generally you see a strong trade a couple of weeks before Ramadan starts.
"Then you can see a little more the last couple of weekends. We had a strong trade three weeks ago; a fortnight ago it was a bit flat.
With the Eid al-Fitr celebration beginning on June 14, he said there would probably be another good trade this week 'and then it could tail off'.
"But the one in August is the major one," added Mr Ogden.
Eid al-Adha was expected to begin on August 21.


Sorry about the short one word answer but I answered 2 other posts and nothing happened so I was just checking. Peach trees can be started in the house but most of the seeds need the cold to germinate even the seedling ones. So if it is growing then carry it inside but don't worry if it loses its leaves. Cut the water and move it where it gets some light until spring and keep moving it to more light till warm enough to put outside.

Q: HP DL380e G8 fan noise I bought an used HP DL380e G8 and installed at my home.
I'm a little bit confused about the fan noise.
ILO says, they running at 37%-47%, but the noise is like they running at 70%.
On Youtube there is a video showing a DL380 G8 which is less loud after booting up than mine - tuning down the fans when OS started.
ILO says, I have one peak temp (71°C) at sensor 30-PCI-2 - I guess nearby the RAID P420 card? All other temps are around 20-30°C.
Hardware is: 2x E5-2430L v2, 12x 8GB DDR3, P420 RAID in slot 2, some non-HP harddisks (which are deteced by ILO and proven "Status OK"), an additional Broadcom NetXtreme in slot 4. Firmware is up-to-date (ILO 2.70 May 07 2019)
Can anyone tell me, why fans at 40% are loud as running at 70% or are those ILO-numbers wrong?
And a second question: I installed an additional HP PCIe NIC (4port) in slot 3, but neither BIOS or Debian-OS are seeing it.

A: Simple answer.
Your use of non-HPE disks is a cause because they're not reporting proper temperatures to the RAID controller.
The ILO controls thermal settings on this platform and the hysteresis curves that govern fan speeds.
I commissioned the work of a developer who wrote a machine-language hack that exposes ILO fan controls to the SSH command line. This will allow you to manually cut your fan speed.
Have fun. This will allow the use of the hardware you already have.

A: Servers are loud. They are designed to operate in data centers where noise isn't an issue. When running a server at home (I do as well), you'll need to expect them to be very loud and plan accordingly.
Server fans are optimized for performance. Desktop fans on the other hand are designed for a compromise of performance and sound.
Your fans are probably working just fine. Place the server in your basement, garage, or a closet (pay attention to the ventilation/cooling) and you'll be fine.

A: A HP DL380 (certainly some older generations, probably G8 also) can have different fan configurations.
With a minimum number of fans, it might run them with slightly higher RPM at "steady state" and will need to shut down if any fan fails. In this configuration, the fan slots for the missing fans may be blocked to ensure the air will flow only in the desired direction.
With a redundant fan configuration there will be extra fans in the system, so if one fan in a particular section fails the system can compensate by speeding up the remaining fan(s) in that section. When all fans run normally, there will be extra fan capacity and possibly more total fan cross-section area for the necessary air mass to pass through, so it may allow further reduction of fan RPMs and still get the job done.
A major part of the noise of a rack-optimized server (which is what the DL series is) comes from the requirement to pass cooling air through comparatively narrower channels than in a tower/"expansion-optimized" model of similar specifications (with HP, that would be the ML series). As a result, the number and type of installed components can have a significant effect on server noise.

A: I have a HP DL380e Gen 8 (with 12 LLF in the front & 2 LLF at the rear), also with the P420 Raid card on PCIe slot 2. I did a load of research when I got it (for home use) as it was simply much loader than my DL380 G7. After hours of searching the web I discovered that it is indeed something very specific to this model. Due to the full LF bays in the front panel and the very hot P420 card, HP decided to fix the minimum Fan speeds when the P420 card is present. When I removed it, it was quiet as a baby. If I add another card (LAN) in addition to it (also certified HP hardware) it gets even louder (min. 60% RPM on all fans). This is regardless of how many drives are physically installed. You could run the two back bays only and have a completely open front, the fans still goto min. 35-40%. I have all HP HDDs, all certified hardware, I have downgraded & Upgraded my BIOS, no differences. This won't help you much ther than provide you with two avenues:

*

*Remove the P420 and live with the Bxxxi on-board soft controller (limited with esxi but okay for a windows server)

*Hack it and manually drop the fans, ensure that you leave either the top row Drive Free or the right hand side on the front panel for sufficient Airflow

A: I have a Gen7 - same issue. With sudo ipmitool sdr I found out that Temp 30 was at 77 degrees C. This is the Northbridge the big cooler behind the CPUs.
For an other toy project I had a small USB cabled fan which I placed just loosely beside/above the cooler, the temperature went below the threshold to 73 °C and all fans now operate with 13,73 percent. Making the system as silent as other servers of the same type I have tested before.

In 2001 the Newman Police Sub-District was an area in size of approximately 256,000 sq kms. The furthest indigenous community is Kiwirrkurra which is 816 kms direct line east from Newman and is situated 130 kms west of the Northern Territoy border. On Australia Day, January 26, 2001, in response to a call for assistance from that community, a team of three officers from the Newman Police Station were collected from Newman Airport by a police Cessna 310 aircraft, call sign Polair 64, piloted by a police officer from Karratha.
They attended at Kiwirrkurra and having dealt with the situation, departed there at 7.30pm returning to Newman. Polair 64 contacted Newman Police Station by radio at 9.15pm and requested that vehicles be sent to collect the Newman officers.
At 9.50pm Polair 64 entered the circuit area of the Newman Airport and shortly after, at about 10.00pm, the aircraft crashed 2.6 kms south east of the airport.
A search was immediately commenced by police and local volunteer emergency services personnel, supported by other agencies and community members, and at 4.30am the following morning the wreckage of Polair 64 was located.
Tragically, all officers on board the aircraft had lost their lives.
The impact on their families, friends and colleagues and the community of Newman was and is profound.
This has been the most significant loss of police life in modern day policing history in Australasia.
The Remembrance Ceremony and Bloody Slow Cup is an event by the people of Newman to commemorate the service of these fine officers, their commitment to safeguarding the peace of the community and ensuring that time will never erase their spirit and memory.

This week Jocelyn Martinez, a programs assistant at WorldTeach, talks about service as well as her experience interning with us in Boston.
As an intern at WorldTeach, I have the opportunity to grow and build up my skills. My name is Jocelyn Martinez and I am a junior at Lesley University. I am majoring in Global Studies with a minor in Environmental Studies. As a third year student I have practiced my leadership abilities on campus but WorldTeach has taught me what this looks like in a professional global setting. A lot of my work revolves around policy reform, social justice, and gender & racial politics; ultimately with the goal of applying this towards international humanitarian aid reform. It is a fine line but my goal is to work both within social change and social service.
There is a need for assistance and there is a need for change and with limited resources to do so, it is dangerous to focus them all in social service or social change. To not recognize there needs to be a change perpetuates the system created which keeps people oppressed and marginalized. But to also focus strictly on change puts people at risk of not receiving assistance at all. To do both is very challenging and is in the process of improving everyday. WorldTeach works in this way to show there needs to be a change by being the change while still provided resources to underprivileged communities.
At WorldTeach I am the Programs Assistant and I work to gather resources for volunteers. They will be travelling abroad to teach in other countries for a year or for a shorter term. WorldTeach works to make sure volunteers have a cultural and social understanding of where they are going and how to be responsible in unfamiliar settings. Volunteers will not only help, but they will also learn how to be a global citizens. In such a globalized world these skills are necessary for volunteers to apply both abroad and at home.
In my perspective, to be a global citizen is to be someone who is interconnected with the world around them from micro to macro settings. It also means to know this and apply inquiry, empathy, and other indicators of standing in solidarity with people of different backgrounds from all around the world. Volunteers practice this understanding in their respective volunteer sites and hone these skills to make an impact everywhere they go. Without the resources to have these experiences myself, I choose to intern at WorldTeach to involve myself in the process in any way that I can.
I learned about WorldTeach through my university's career and resource center which works to gather internship and career opportunities for students. I was immediately intrigued by WorldTeach when I began to learn about their mission. I quickly resonated with their morals and ideals because it's the kind of impact and change the world needs. It's the fine line of social service and social change. In underprivileged areas of the world, there is a need for assistance in education. WorldTeach provides assistance to these communities while preparing people to be as helpful and respectful in the process. It is easy for a volunteer to sign up with numerous programs and head straight into the classroom but it is not easy to teach them the awareness they need to be a part of the community and to live in another country very different from the one they are from.
I had become familiar with these processes when I experienced these uneven structures through my own personal experiences. I heard about stories from my family members in another country and I felt it myself. While in the states I had worked with an international aid agency and it appalled me how much they were harming the communities they were supposed to be helping. It had become even more personal when I found out I was not qualified to receive aid from them if my family signed up. We did not meet a certain tax bracket, we did not have the educational requirements, and we did not have the documentation status they were requesting. But here I was, allowed to volunteer for an organization which helps families more privileged than I. As a volunteer I was not properly vetted into the process. Organizations have the responsibility to prepare volunteers for their service every step of the way. This experience drives me to be a leader and drove me to apply here.
My leadership roles vary, but my positions in Lesley University's Office of Community Service has taught me what it means to serve and what are disparities we should be aware of while serving. I learned there is no regulation in the world about the kind of micro negative impacts volunteers make in foreign communities. What gets misunderstood about the negative impacts created is the backing that it was all meant with good intentions. In underdeveloped settings intent does not make a difference when the repercussions are unraveling. WorldTeach does not do the work it does because it is easy, they do it because it matters and should be adopted by other agencies. I seek to continue this work in my own career.
I feel very passionate about educating people to become more aware of the different privileges and oppressions our identities hold. I believe if we do not recognize this we will create a more harmful instead of healing space. There are a lot of uneven processes in the world which have been occurring for centuries and they have not shifted passed that phase. As a global community we must be there for eachother and must take accountability of what is not being done to improve the living conditions of underprivileged communities. I feel that I am learning more about taking action at WorldTeach and actively making a difference.
The importance of service is how quickly it can build a community. Everyone involved in WorldTeach has already taken a step to building a global community and should not refrain there. I have learned so much already and I am more excited to learn more throughout my Internship.


The asctime(), ctime(), gmtime() and localtime() functions return values in one of two static objects: a broken-down time structure and an array of type char. Execution of any of the functions may overwrite the information returned in either of these objects by any of the other functions.
The asctime() interface need not be reentrant.
The asctime_r() function converts the broken-down time in the structure pointed to by tm into a string that is placed in the user-supplied buffer pointed to by buf (which contains at least 26 bytes) and then returns buf.
Upon successful completion, asctime() returns a pointer to the string.
Upon successful completion, asctime_r() returns a pointer to a character string containing the date and time. This string is pointed to by the argument buf. If the function is unsuccessful, it returns NULL.
Values for the broken-down time structure can be obtained by calling gmtime() or localtime(). This interface is included for compatibility with older implementations, and does not support localised date and time formats. Applications should use strftime() to achieve maximum portability.
clock(), ctime(), difftime(), gmtime(), localtime(), mktime(), strftime(), strptime(), time(), utime(), <time.h>.
asctime() derived from Issue 1 of the SVID.
asctime_r() derived from the POSIX Threads Extension (1003.1c-1995).


Port Authority Police had an odd experience in June when a driver swerved her way on a blown tire into Newark Airport.
They received multiple reports of a black Nissan Altima hitting curbs and guardrails – one of these collisions blew the tire on the car – that had just taken the exit to the airport around 10:30 that night.
By the time they caught up to it, the car was stopped at the airport and the driver, 31-year-old Dehabah R. Sylvester of Bloomfield, was chowing down on some cake.
Sylvester, who is the NPC Garden State bodybuilding champion, told police that she was pausing in her travels to eat and that she'd be on her way soon.
She appeared to be unaware of the flat tire or the fact that she'd been driving on the rim for quite a distance.
After a series of failed sobriety tests, Sylvester was arrested and charged with DWI and reckless driving.
A breath test revealed that her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.
Her car was impounded after the DUI arrest.
A DWI charge is never a laughing matter, and can have serious personal and professional ramifications.

New arcade game on the way?
It's been a week of teasers for SEGA Nerds everywhere, with Retro-Bit announcing and teasing new SEGA accessories at CES last week and also SEGA teasing a new game from their partnership with Two Point Studios on social media (the announcement published just earlier today!) and just yesterday, SEGA published a new Japanese teaser site, which has had the team here at SEGA Nerds more than a little curious.
The teaser site shows some sort of floating isle, with a time/clock motif going on. In the centre is a huge clock face, counting down to the launch of the site, with a digital countdown on display.
If you look closer, you can see a throne in the centre and running along on both sides of the throne are, what appears to be, hourglasses/sand timers. Scroll down a bit and you'll see something that resembles the top of castle battlements, with Roman numerals on them. And if you wait around for a few seconds, a little figure appears, sitting on the throne.
Also the clock has several timings on its face, with the largest, outer dial reading (going clockwise from the top) XII (12), XVIII (18), the next is obscured, and finally VI (6). I have no idea what those numbers relate to, or what kind of timer that could be – but I assume it's important to the game.
From an initial look, there has been some speculation as to what game this could be teasing. Some have suggested a new NiGHTS game, based on the art style – others have suggested a Skies of Arcadia, due to the floating islands.
But, we would suggest not to get too excited by the thought of a new NiGHTS or Skies of Arcadia game being on the cards, because we don't think it will be either.
Firstly, the website is owned/operated by SEGA Interactive Inc., SEGA Japan's arcade and amusements business; so the mostly likely situation is that this is a new arcade game coming to Japan.
Secondly, the teaser webpage's address is "Senki.SEGA.jp" – according to a quick online translation, "Senki" means "Military History." Honestly, I have no idea what that could mean for the game. But I can't see it relating to either NiGHTS or Skies of Arcadia.
As I say, they are along the same lines, but it seems the line doesn't translate perfectly into English, though it does tickle my interest (anyone fluent in Japanese, might want to get in touch and let us know what it says!).
So, keep an eye on the page, we expect some things to change. Perhaps that little person on the throne moves around, or changes?
We'll keep you updated as more information comes in.

Улица Ма́донас () — улица в Видземском предместье города Риги, в Пурвциемсе. Впервые упоминается в адресной книге за 1935 год под своим нынешним названием, которое никогда не изменялось.

Начинается от перекрёстка с улицей Браслас, ведёт в восточном направлении и ранее выходила к улице Дзелзавас. В 1980-е годы в конце улицы Мадонас построен многоэтажный квартал, перекрывший её створ; в настоящее время улица заканчивается небольшим внутриквартальным проездом, выходящим к улице Веявас. Пересечений с другими улицами не имеет.

В 2021 году были начаты работы по продлению Густава Земгала гатве до пересечения улиц Мадонас и Браслас. Здесь сооружена двухуровневая развязка, открытие которой, в рамках обновлённого участка Восточной магистрали, планируется в 2023 году.

Движение по улице Мадонас двустороннее. В своей средней части разделена зелёной зоной на две отдельные проезжие части. Дорожное покрытие требует ремонта. Общественный транспорт по улице не курсирует.

Построенные на улице Мадонас многоэтажные жилые дома из монолитного железобетона, высотой 67 и 61 метр, входят в число 30 наиболее высоких зданий Риги.

Jesse McCartney's love for acting began when his parents, who are actors and singers, would put on community plays involving the whole family. But at the age of nine, he started to pursue his own acting roles and won the part of Louis in the play, The King and I. With a few theater credits under his belt, he landed his first TV gig as Adam Chandler Jr. on All My Children.
Jesse McCartney now stars as Bradin Westerly on the hit WB show, Summerland. He learned to surf for his character, who moves from smalltown Kansas to sunny California after facing a family tragedy. In the first season, Bradin gets drunk, crushes on his hot - but much older - surfing instructor and even gets into a fight to protect her!
Jesse McCartney's acting career isn't the only thing that's on fire. He recently released his solo debut album, Beautiful Soul - it's filled with soul-infused pop songs about his experiences with girls and relationships. He's already seeing success as a solo artist, as his songs have been featured on the soundtracks for Ella Enchanted, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and That's So Raven. But before Jesse launched his solo career, he was a member of both the Sugar Beats and Dream Street, which opened for Britney Spears' Onyx Hotel tour.

Who's Hotter? Jesse Mac or Aaron Carter.
Jesse McCartney. He can sing, act, and surf.
Aaron Carter. He can rap like 50 Cent.
Both. Blondes definitely have more fun.
Neither. I prefer Oliver James - short, dark and handsome.

Mighty Rodent Review
Mighty Rodent, developed and published by Jagged Blade Games.
The Good: Challenging enemies, simple controls, weapon upgrades, advantages for discontinuous firing
The Not So Good: Can become monotonous, some difficulty from numbers
What say you? An arcade shooter with just barely enough originality to make it delightful: 6/8
MY POORLY WRITTEN INTRODUCTION
Science fact: rodents make up more than half of all mammalian species. The 2,000 to 3,000 types of rodents include squirrels, mice, porcupines, and rats. Most of these animals are considered pests, but they have recently risen up in an effort to save the world from an alien invasion. Brining this breaking news to light is the semi-fictional game Mighty Rodent, which features Sgt. Fluffles and his battle against the evil invaders. Any game that features a giant hamster with a gun strapped to its back smoking a cigar should prove to be at least mildly interesting, right?
GRAPHICS AND SOUND
For a two dimensional shooter, Mighty Rodent has some decent graphics. All of the models in the game are detailed, the backgrounds are interesting, and the weapon effects are well done. Sure, the game doesn't have cutting edge 3-D effects, but it doesn't need to, and the game doesn't suffer from not having them. Mighty Rodent does just find with its array of 2-D sprites and explosions. The sound is along the same lines: average but they get the job done.
Mighty Rodent features 35 levels of shooting goodness, in both single player and multiplayer mode. You can play through the standard campaign, arcade (single level) mode, or just against the bosses. Aiming is done by moving the mouse, which will also move your rodent around the map so that you can avoid falling ordinance. The controls are straightforward and easy to learn; having simplified controls involving just the mouse eliminates some complexity other games needlessly have in assigning more buttons than necessary. Of course, two player mode will require the second player to use the keyboard or a joystick, which is much more challenging. Mighty Rodent was designed to be played using the mouse. The enemies you will be dispatching come in 22 varied forms and have different levels of intelligence. Some enemies will just randomly drop bombs on you, while others will actually try to aim. This could be considered sophisticated AI for an arcade shooting game and it provides a worthy challenge. Strangely, the game does resort to throwing a bunch of enemies at you to increase the difficulty when it doesn't really need to; this actually results in making Mighty Rodent trickier than needed. For those tough spots, you can deploy a bomb that eliminates all of the enemies on the screen in one fiery explosion of doom.
The gameplay is mostly standard arcade shooter fare. I do, however, enjoy that the game rewards sporadic shooting. In most arcade games, you can just hold down the fire button the entire game and just aim. However, if you resist the urge to fire for a short period of time (usually the longest two seconds of your life), your next shot will be an extra powerful beam that will cause a lot of damage. This is a great idea that rewards more strategic and careful aiming. At the end of each level, you can spend the coins you collected (which defeated enemies drop) to receive stat increases to your rodent, including extra lives, more powerful shields, and better weaponry. This has become a fairly standard inclusion recently in arcade shooters, and it's thankfully found in Mighty Rodent as well.
Mighty Rodent is a good arcade shooter. The intelligence of the AI, the upgrade system, and the reward for more strategic shooting makes it a memorable title among the slew of shooters. The game does tend to play the same throughout, so some players may become bored after a while. The game does become hectic and almost an exercise in luck (successfully avoiding falling bullets) instead of skill at times, but overall Mighty Rodent is fun to play. It's not a terribly original game, but the gameplay is solid enough to make it a recommended title.

President Maithripala Sirisena says that Sri Lanka has not been accused of committing any 'international war crimes' and reiterates that he will never allow the participation of foreign judges in the mechanism to investigate allegations of human rights violations.
The President said that former foreign minister Mangala Samaraweera agreeing to co-sponsor a resolution at the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva proposing the involvement of foreign judges in investigating allegations of human rights violations, was the reason he was removed from that position.
The President stated that he did not agree to the involvement of foreign judges then and he does not agree with it now. Sirisena said that he very specifically told every head of state and also the UN Secretary-General that he will ensure that the policies and agreements within the UN Charter, are safeguarded in the country.
"Therefore I told them not to send foreign judged to my country. There will be no international war tribunals or electric chairs," he said, in an interview with Derana 360°.
Responding to a question, the President emphasized that there is no such written agreement guaranteeing participation of foreign judges as claimed especially by certain pro-LTTE non-governmental organizations of the Tamil diaspora.
The President stated that while he does not agree in any way with certain points in the agreement reached, the resolution does not contain any such thing as claimed by certain groups.
He said that certain group abroad who are against the government and even certain groups within the country are attempting to portray a different opinion, but there is absolutely nothing in writing officially accusing Sri Lanka of committing international war crimes within the UN resolution any other document.

Unclaimed 2nd vaccine doses to be redistributed, gov says
Lindsay Whitehurst
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is ordering COVID-19 vaccine shots set aside as second doses be redistributed as first doses to new people if the original patient doesn't come back for their follow-up appointment a few weeks later.
The second shots will be released if they're not claimed within seven days - but latecomers can still come back at a different time, he said Thursday during his monthly news conference on PBS-Utah.
Some state lawmakers have suggested not holding back a reserve of the coronavirus vaccine for second doses, but Cox said that health experts advise against that step.
News:Utah Legislature opens amid pandemic, protest concerns
Cox said the state is also trying to "claw back" vaccine doses from pharmacies partnered with the federal government. They're falling behind local public health departments in distributing the doses quickly, he said. Cox has mandated that vaccine doses be used within seven days
"They have too much vaccine," he said. "The federal government has given them more vaccine than they need."
One factor is billing private insurance, which will cover part of the cost of a vaccine but going through the process takes longer.

Utah ranked No. 6 among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest on a per-person basis, a USA TODAY Network analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. In the latest week ending Sunday the United States added 1,523,301 reported cases of coronavirus, a decrease of -11.1% from the week before. Across the country, 9 states had more cases in the latest week than they did in the week before.
