What is Christ's Hospital?
Christ's Hospital is one of the most distinctive organisations in the Horsham District but the extraordinary extent of its charitable giving is its best kept secret. At the heart of Christ's Hospital is a unique independent boarding school providing an outstanding education for children, aged 11-18, from all backgrounds, supported by a thriving community of over 450 staff with a commercial arm that hires the facilities during school holidays. Funded by income from its endowment, topped-up by the generosity of donors, Christ's Hospital is the most philanthropic educational charity in the country, assisting over 90% of pupils, providing a life-changing opportunity for children, particularly those in need.
Christ's Hospital was established for boys and girls of 'the poor' in Newgate Street, London in 1552; it was unusual for a school to admit both girls and boys. Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, many children (mostly girls) were sent to Hertfordshire whilst parts of the Newgate School were rebuilt.
In the late 18th Century, living conditions for the poor in London were difficult and a decision was made to move the School. A 1200 acre site, which stretches into the Southwater Parish, was purchased from the Aylesbury Dairy Farm and the Trustees of Christ's Hospital invited architects Aston Webb and Ingress Bell to design the new School. Longleys of Crawley were the builders producing work to a high standard. Original details from the London site were incorporated – including the Wren portico, 'Big School's' clock tower and cupolas, the Grecians' Cloister (that was divided to make two arches at the Horsham site). A labyrinth of underground passages were also dug which criss-cross the site and are known as 'The Tube'. The London and South Coast Railway provided a new station (Christ's Hospital Station) to transport, as it does today, pupils who live in London to Horsham. Christ's Hospital opened in 1902 for boys only; the girls were transferred from Hertford to Horsham in 1985.

Kenya's economic growth slowed in Q1 of 2019
Home East Africa Kenya
Kenya's economy was subdued in the first quarter of 2019, growing by 5.6 percent as compared to 6.5 percent in the first three months of 2018, the government statistics agency said Friday.
The growth, which was significantly slower, was mostly supported by growth in the service-sector industries such as wholesale and retail trade, transportation, accommodation and food services, financial and insurance activities, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) said.
"The quarter was characterized by slowdown in agricultural activities following delay in the onset of long rains. The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector grew by 5.3 percent, compared to a growth of 7.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018," the KNBS said.
The slowdown in agricultural growth affected agro-processing and led to slower manufacturing activities.
The KNBS noted that the agricultural sector expanded by 5.3 percent during the period, compared to 7.5 percent in the same quarter of 2018.
"Nevertheless, the sector's performance was supported by a 6.6 percent growth in volume of tea produced, from 99,800 metric tons in the first quarter of 2018 to 106,300 metric tons during the period under review," it said.
In the horticulture sub-sector, the volume of cut flowers, fruits and vegetables grew by 3.7 percent, 22.2 percednt and 0.9 percent respectively.
"The sector's performance was hampered by contractions in production of coffee and sugarcane during the same period," the KNBS said.
The manufacturing sector is estimated to have grown by 3.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared to a growth of 3.8 percent in the first three months of last year.
"The growth was curtailed in both manufacture of food and non-food activities. In the manufacture of foods products, growth was curtailed by manufacture of sugar, prepared preserved fish and processing of coffee, which recorded contractions in the review period," the bureau said.
In the manufacture of non-food products, growth was held back by manufacture of cement and of leather products that fell during the period.
"However, growth in the manufacture of food products sub-sector was supported by manufacture of bakery products, processing of tea, manufacture of vegetable oils, fats and beer," the KNBS noted. "In the non-food sub-sector, growth was mainly supported by assembly of motor vehicles."
The construction sector grew by 5.6 percent, compared to 6.6 percent in the corresponding quarter of 2018.
"The growth was supported by the continued construction of the second phase of the Standard Gauge Railway and other public infrastructural developments especially road construction," it said. "Consumption of cement, which is an indicator of construction activities, declined by 3.1 percent."
"The performance of transportation and storage sector recorded a slower growth of 6.7 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 8.5 percent registered in the same period of 2018," the KNBS said.
The financial and insurance sector recorded a slower growth of 5 percent in the quarter under review, down from 5.2 percent in the corresponding quarter of 2018.
However, the KNBS said the macroeconomic factors were favorable to growth during the quarter under review.
"The average inflation in the period under review eased to 4.40 percent, from 4.49 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The Kenya shilling strengthened against all its major trading currencies during the quarter under review, compared to the same quarter of 2018," it said.
KNBS director-general Zachary Mwangi said during the period, Kenya's current account deficit narrowed to 78.8 billion shillings (772 million U.S. dollars), down from 1.15 billion dollars.

Nyanga doctor arrested charged with alleged rape
admin Latest News doctor+alleged+rape
Western Cape Health has suspended all ties with the locum agency that provided a doctor who has been arrested on suspicion of raping a patient.
A Cape Times report says that doctor, employed in a Nyanga clinic, is 46-years old and the patient 26. She alleges the doctor raped her in his consultation room.
She informed the clinic manager and police were called. He is being held at the Nyanga police station and will appear in court once charged.
The report said Nyanga police spokesperson Ntomboxolo Sitshitshi would not confirm this on Monday night and referred the Cape Times to the provincial spokesperson.
Police spokesperson Noloyiso Rwexana confirmed that a suspect had been arrested for alleged rape and will appear in court. She would not confirm whether the suspect was a doctor.
The woman's family said she was still too traumatised to talk about the incident, says aDaily Voice report.
Her 38-year-old sister said the young woman went to the healthcare centre on Monday after complaining of back pain. "She says she went in and explained what was wrong and he told her it might be discharge from a vaginal infection," she said. "He told her to take off her tights and to lie down before he inserted his fingers into her for an examination. After taking out his fingers, he told her there was definitely some discharge and that he would need to remove it.
"He then told her to breathe in and out, to relax and when she still couldn't, he told her to imagine she was having sex – a process which was supposed to relax her. When that didn't work, he apparently started massaging her breast. Afterwards he told her to move and to close her eyes. He then took some cream and put his hand in there again. My sister says she got groggy and the next thing she knew this man was on top of her, raping her."
The sister said she they are shocked a doctor could do this to his own patient.
"One usually expects rapes to happen while a person is walking alone at night or out at a tavern, not in your doctor's rooms. We go to these places for help because we cannot afford private doctors but now this has scared us all. Something needs to be done about this, how are we to trust that the doctors in our clinics are not criminals because it's never the same doctor, they come and go."
Spokesperson for Western Cape Health Mark van Heever says the doctor in question was employed as a locum (temporary) doctor via an agency. "The department has since suspended all ties with the agency, pending the outcome of the investigation," he said.
Van Heever is quoted in a News24 report as saying that the woman was getting trauma counselling and the department was helping the police with their investigation.

The Defence Science and Technology Agency of Singapore announced in a press release that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Rolls-Royce to partner on digital service solutions.
The MoU was signed by Singapore's Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and Rolls-Royce at the Farnborough Airshow in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2018, where DSTA expanded its digital partnerships.
The Defence Science and Technology Agency, a statutory board under MINDEF, harnesses and exploits science and technology, and provides technological and engineering support to meet the defence and national security needs of Singapore.
Adopting a systems engineering approach, DSTA undertakes design, development, acquisition, and systems integration responsibilities, as well as operations and support management. These span the entire spectrum of capability planning, development, and sustainment of weapon systems throughout their life cycle to ensure that the SAF continues to be a formidable fighting force.
In keeping with this mandate, the partnership between DSTA and Rolls-Royce will focus on the use of data analytics and digital twins which integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software analytics, in improving the availability and performance of the aero-engines, optimising the time and resources spent on engine maintenance, and thereby improving the availability and performance of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) aircraft (i.e., The RSAF's C-130 Hercules aircraft, G550 early-warning aircraft and A330 Multi Role Tanker; transport vehicles that are powered by Rolls-Royce engines). These capabilities can also be used to potentially transform engine support and maintenance training.
A recent report explained that the service's six A330s, which will be delivered later this year, are powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent 700-series engine.
This agreement signed by DSTA at Farnborough is in addition to a similar one Singapore announced in early February, which will see DSTA and Boeing, the American company, jointly develop an information management tool leveraging data analytics to identify trends and insights on aircraft performance with the government agency.
The tool will be used to analyse flight and maintenance data for the service's fleet of Boeing F-15SG Strike Eagle fighter jets and AH-64D Apache attack helicopters. The findings will also be used to develop algorithms for predictive analytics for smarter maintenance and operations.
Mr Tan Peng Yam, Chief Executive at DTSA said that Rolls-Royce supports an extensive and diverse fleet of aircraft, which provides a data source to dive deeper and generate insight on aircraft engine performance for defence. Partnering Rolls-Royce to co-develop data-driven digital solutions will boost DSTA's efforts in enhancing the effectiveness of aircraft maintenance and will boost operational efficiency.
Mr Tom Bell, Rolls-Royce President, Defence, said that Rolls-Royce looks forward to working together with DSTA to develop new and innovative digital technologies that will enable it to bring greater capability to the Republic of Singapore Air Force.
The future of RSAF's fleet of aircraft looks bright and both parties look forward to a productive partnership, particularly since part of Rolls-Royce's contributions might comprise the latest robotic devices it has released. At the Farnborough Show Rolls-Royce demonstrated the future of engine maintenance with robots that can crawl inside engines.
The robotic technologies displayed each represent an opportunity to improve the way engine maintenance is delivered, for example by speeding up inspection processes or by removing the need to take an engine off an aircraft in order to perform maintenance work. This has the potential to offer significant benefits for customers by reducing the cost of engine maintenance, increasing the availability of an engine and ensuring any maintenance required is completed as quickly as possible.
These significant advancement in the field of robotics technology, if harnessed by Singapore's Air Force, have the potential to revolutionise the way aircraft are inspected and maintained.

Augmented Climbing Wall takes climbing to a whole new level
Challenge: Augmented Climbing Wall is the world's first global gaming platform for climbing and bouldering walls. It combines projected graphics and body tracking to create interactive games and training applications.
Solution: Augmented Climbing Walls interactive games are projected onto a white wall with white climbing holds. The sophisticated system is programmed to recognise individual human body parts, making the games responsive to climbers' movements. At its heart is a bright 6,000-lumen X605 Optoma projector, an Xbox Kinect – a motion tracking camera using Valo Motion's own computer vision algorithms and a powerful customised Intel PC running software developed by the team.
Results: Augmented Climbing Walls have now been installed across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, UK, France, Germany in Europe, as well as Canada, USA, South Korea, Singapore and Australia. The founder of Augmented Climbing Walls, Dr Raine Kajastila, said: "We have had an absolutely brilliant, overwhelming response from both climbers and operators." Jump Ninja in Manchester is one of two centres in the UK with an Augmented Climbing Wall. Hailey Edwards is the General Manager at the centre. She said: "Our customers' response to the wall has been incredibly positive. I hadn't expected it to be as popular as it is. The children love it but it is also attracting serious climbers to our centre."
Augmented Climbing Wall is the world's first global gaming platform for climbing and bouldering walls intended to be used in climbing walls, activity parks, entertainment centres and fitness gyms. It combines projected graphics and body tracking to create interactive games and training applications.
The interactive climbing wall was developed as part of a research project at Aalto University, Finland, by avid climber Dr Raine Kajastila. The objective of his research was to develop a climbing wall that accelerates the learning of motor skills while making the monotonous components of practice enjoyable and fun.
Having spent three and a half years developing the interactive solution, Dr Kajastila set up Valo Motion Ltd in 2016 and launched Augmented Climbing Walls. The team needed a bright, cost-effective projector to sit at the heart of the solution.
Augmented Climbing Walls interactive games and training programs can be customised to any skill level and age. The interactive games, projected onto a white wall with white climbing holds, can be one or two-player games and include Augmented Problems, Whack-A-Bat, Sparks and the popular Climball (Pong). In addition, it can project footage of climbers 'working problems' as training aids. The sophisticated system is programmed to recognise individual human body parts, making the games responsive to climbers' movements.
Each Augmented Climbing Wall uses a bright 6,000-lumen X605 Optoma projector, an Xbox Kinect – a motion tracking camera using Valo Motion's own computer vision algorithms and a powerful customised Intel PC running software developed by the team.
The electronics, set within a custom enclosure, is either installed on a mounting pylon which has adjustable tilt and rotation to get the imagery in exactly the right position or can be mounted to a wall or ceiling. The user-friendly touchscreen interface can be independently operated by both children and adults.
As part of the whole solution, operators receive a subscription to the cloud service where they can monitor and control the wall remotely. This provides analytics on the hardware – such as the temperature of the projector, which games are popular and allows operators to project bespoke marketing content such as logos.
Raine said: "The games and applications make the training fun, motivate and give feedback to help you become a better climber.
"Even small walls can have hundreds of distinct routes and games that create new fun challenges for climbers. This has not just been adopted by climbing walls across the globe but also by visitor centres, shopping malls and events as an added attraction. The beauty of the system is that they can add marketing messages to the wall such as sponsor logos.
The Optoma X605 has a centre-lens design, full lens shift and three interchangeable lens options including an off-axis short throw lens. This XGA resolution model produces 6,000 ANSI lumens of brightness with superb image quality.
Augmented Climbing Walls has gone down a storm across the globe with walls now installed in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, UK, France, Germany in Europe, as well as Canada, USA, South Korea, Singapore and Australia and with upcoming installations in many more countries.

Raine said: "We have had an absolutely brilliant, overwhelming response from both climbers and operators."
Climbing walls are creating new events with the solution to attract more customers and are seeing climbers coming back more often. Bouldering is a very social activity with groups of climbers helping each other as they 'work problems'. These interactive games take this social side to a whole new level and allow climbing walls to bring all sorts of new challenges into the mix.
By creating a memorable and unique experience, shopping centres with Augmented Climbing Walls have seen a greater footfall and often use the marketing feature to promote key messages. Gyms have also embraced the interactive wall as a new diverse fitness experience to attract and retain fitness enthusiasts.
Raine added: "The Augmented Climbing Wall is always under active development. New games and features are being developed all the time to ensure the system stays fresh."
Jump Ninja in Manchester is one of two centres in the UK with an Augmented Climbing Wall. Hailey Edwards is the General Manager at the centre. She said: "We launched Jump Ninja in April with both the Augmented Climbing Wall, interconnected trampolines and obstacle course. Our customers' response to the wall has been incredibly positive. I hadn't expected it to be as popular as it is. The children love it but it is also attracting serious climbers to our centre.
"We are seeing more groups, such as local climbing clubs, coming and spending several hours training on the wall. So, it is attracting groups and individual climbers that wouldn't necessarily have considered coming to the trampolining park."
Visitors can book online to simply climb on the interactive climbing wall or they can get a combined ticket with trampolining.
Hailey commented: "It's all about fitness isn't it? You burn a massive amount of calories trampolining – then combining your cardio activity with climbing uses a whole load of other muscles."
Commenting on how easy the system is to use, Hailey added: "It is really easy for children to use. All of the games are on a monitor for them to select and we have a member of staff on standby in case they need help. The most popular game for our younger customers is Whack a Bat. The Sparks game is a little trickier and more challenging. So, there is something for everyone!"
Jump Ninja
As well as the Augmented Climbing Wall, Jump Ninja has around 50 interconnecting trampolines in its trampolining park and a Hurricane Simulator Booth. This is open Monday to Sunday, every day from 10am to 8pm with open jump, fitness and little ninja sessions running throughout the week and a teen night on Fridays. Visit the website for session times.

Man Utd transfer news: £50m new boy Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 'Every kid wants to play for a team like this'
The 21-year-old defender has completed a £50 million transfer to Old Trafford and cannot wait to form part of an exciting project at Old Trafford Aaron Wan-Bissaka is setting his sights on silverware at Manchester United, with the £50 million ($63m) signing looking forward to turning out for a club that "every kid wants to play for".
The Red Devils have made the 21-year-old full-back the latest addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.
His arrival, coupled with that of Daniel James earlier in the summer, maintains the shift in focus from United when it comes to recruiting exciting talents with bags of potential. Editors' Picks
Wan-Bissaka is hoping to prove himself worthy of such faith, with the youngster relishing the opportunity to represent one of the most decorated sides in world football.
"I am excited to have finally signed for this team," he told United's official website.
"Every kid wants to play for a team like this. I am grateful and it is an honour to represent this club.
"I think I will improve every step and learn different things around new team-mates. I think Man United is a big club, a big family, a big fan base, and I think they all stick together and are so tight together."
Wan-Bissaka spoke at length with Solskjaer before making a move to Old Trafford and is buying into the project being pieced together by United's manager.
"I have spoken to him and he has told me how he feels about me," added the Red Devils new boy.
"Ole has reassured me about his plans, what he is going to do with the team. That is something I want to be a part of.
"It was the gaffer's decision and his plan to rebuild, and to bring the team back to where it is supposed to be. I wanted to be a part of that plan."
The intention is that fresh faces will help United to offer a positive response to their forgettable 2018-19 campaign, with the club eager to ensure that they do not go three years without a trophy.
Wan-Bissaka said when quizzed on his message for an expected fan base: "I just want to say thanks for welcoming me to this amazing club, I can't wait to see you and get started. Article continues below
"I think it is an honour to represent this club and I can't wait to engage with the fans. I have seen the support they give in every game.
"This club is known for winning trophies and I want to be a part of that, to win my first.
"I can see that the fan base is huge and they support the team through thick and thin. I am going to give everything for the club and for the fantastic fans and I can't wait to get started."

The profile specifies the CANopen interaction of automatic building door control sub-systems e.g. door locking status, key cylinder, handle, alarms, system parameters, keypads etc. Each of those properties is realized as a virtual device (VD).
A physical CANopen device consists of one or more free-combinable VDs. Each VD supports a set of mandatory objects and may implement a set of optional objects. Each physical CANopen device implements the 1st pre-defined TPDO (transmit process data object) with a specified mapping structure. Among others, the 1st TPDO contains the VD basic index indicating which VD sent the data. All networked devices receive the 1st TPDO from each other device. An object mask is used to decide if the data contents have to be processed or not. The relevant data is stored in the VDs collection object array.
Each VD covers an index range of eight objects, with the same structure of the first four objects. The first object contains the application data sent via TPDO. The index of the first object (VD basic index) identifies the virtual device. The second object is a collection array for storing the received relevant data from other devices. The third object is a mask array indicating whether the received data is relevant for the application. The fourth object contains configuration data of the VD.
The application profile specifies two start-up behaviors: with ACP (address claiming procedure) active or with ACP not active. In the first case the device receives its node-ID using the address claiming procedure. In the second case the device uses a pre-configured node-ID. At system start-up, all devices have normally the same setting (ACP active or not).
Each device may be assigned to a group (group 1, group 2, no group or both). During the ACP each device claims its node-ID and informs other nodes about it's group belonging. The claiming message receivers use this information to set up their object masks. A device only "listens" to data sent by a device of the same group.
Activation of the specified data encryption and decryption increases the system security level. A new device cannot be added to a network valid as "configured". In order to avoid an unauthorized object data change, the access to the object dictionary is password protected. In order to avoid an eavesdropping and manipulation of PDO data in the system, the PDO communication can be encrypted.
The used physical layer complies with ISO 11898-2. The default bit-rate is 125 kbit/s with bit-timing as specified in CiA 301 v. 4.2.0. It is recommended to use CiA 303-1 connectors. Besides the standard bus topology, the network may be implemented in a combined star and tree topology. Each compliant device should use a 24-V power supply.
The currently valid CiA 416 version 2.0.0 was released in August 2007.


Abstract: This thesis examines musical community in southwestern North Carolina and seeks to establish the region as one of the most influential areas of mountain music. Too often do scholars focus their attentions on other regions of Appalachia as being the center of gravity for mountain music while neglecting the under appreciated coves of the southwestern counties of North Carolina. The Queen family of Jackson County serve as a vehicle to demonstrate the rich musical communities of southwestern North Carolina. Through the Queens, this thesis details important events and people in mountain music from 1900 to the present. The Queen family and their relatives began the century much like other rural southern Appalachian musical families. Music served as entertainment, prayer, and a community builder. In the late 1970s the Queens were increasingly recognized for their contributions to mountain culture, specifically music. This recognition eventually gained a national stage, thus demonstrating the region's important contributions to mountain music. Transplanted mountain musical communities in the Pacific Northwest further substantiate the claim that southwestern North Carolina and its families played major roles in the perpetuation of mountain music. Beginning around 1900 and continuing through the 1970s,large numbers of people from western North Carolina, including some of the Queens, migrated to Washington state. Most migrants followed the logging industry and settled along the Skagit and Sauk River valleys. Tarheels remained close and developed mountain musical communities similar to the ones they had known in southern Appalachia. Today the Darrington Bluegrass Festival and the Queen family in Skagit County are testaments to the mountain musical influences North Carolinians transmitted to the Pacific Northwest.


Now it's time to evaluate your fitness progress! Retake the tests you completed earlier this month and see where you're at. We bet your times are faster and you can pound out a lot more push-ups and sit-ups!
Push-Ups: Follow the instructions provided and do as many push-ups as possible before exhaustion. Don't cop out – push yourself!
Body Composition: Have a partner (perhaps a club manager or trainer) take your measurements and weight. If you've gotten your body fat checked, now's a good time to check back in with an h2i or a trainer. Keep these stats for your records, or post them!
This week I want you to show me what you've got in the kitchen. Take a traditionally unhealthy dish (e.g. pizza, chicken wings, ice cream), and see if you can make it healthier.
Get creative with spices, substitutions, and cooking methods. One of my favorite dinners is my veggie "personal pizza" that I bake on a whole wheat tortilla. I've honestly come to enjoy it more than the "real" thing. Submit your recipes and share the love!
Sleep might not seem like a challenge for the mind, but sleep and mental function are more closely related than you may think. When we're in our deepest levels of sleep, our bodies repair themselves, our immune system gets recharged, and our brains get a rest. When we don't have enough sleep, stress hormones are affected negatively, and thinking is impaired. This can eventually lead to mental illness. Sleep problems have been linked to diseases like bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and ADHD (source: Harvard).
Establish a routine. We give children a bed time, because it gives them stability and creates a healthy habit (…and you finally get some quiet time). Just because we're adults doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing the same for ourselves. Try to get seven to nine hours of sleep every night. Having a hard time falling asleep? Step away from the screen. Your body's natural patterns are thrown off by artificial lighting. Stimulation from television, phones, or Candy Crush Saga will make it harder for you to fall asleep. Try reading a book or listening to relaxing music an hour before bed.

Q: Помогите пожалуйста написать простенький javascript Есть контейнер newprice с данными, по нажатию кнопки plus сумма становится больше в два раза (например 33 >> 66 >> 99 и т.д.), а по нажатию кнопки уменьшается.

  <?php echo $item->price2; ?>

55555
<input type="button" value="plus" onclick="change();">
<input type="button" value="minus" onclick="change('down');">

A:

function change(_dec) {
document.querySelector(".newprice").innerHTML =
 _dec? +document.querySelector(".newprice").innerHTML / 2
                //Если аргумент имеется уменьшаем
 : +document.querySelector(".newprice").innerHTML * 2
                //Если аргумента нет увеличиваем

}

33

<input type="button" value="plus" onclick="change();">
<input type="button" value="minus" onclick="change('down');">

PS Java и JavaScript - два разных языка

A: Если newprice изначально содержит минимальную цену, которая одновременно является шагом изменения, то лучше записывать это значение в data-атрибут общего контейнера (хоть через PHP, хоть яваскриптом). Несмотря на большее количество кода, так будет проще - особенно если блоков с ценой несколько на странице.
Пример кода, который это демонстрирует:

  // при готовности DOM уже можем работать с элементами
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    // добавляем всем блокам дата-атрибут с мин.ценой
  let elems = document.querySelectorAll('.price-block .newprice');
  for (let price of elems)
    price.parentElement.dataset.minPrice = price.textContent;

    // вешаем обработчики клика
  elems = document.querySelectorAll('.price-block input[type="button"]');
  for (let btn of elems)
    btn.addEventListener('click', onPriceBtnClick);
});

  // обработчик клика по кнопкам
function onPriceBtnClick(e) {
  let parent  = this.parentElement,
      priceEl = parent.querySelector('.newprice'),
      price   = +priceEl.textContent;
    // увеличиваем/уменьшаем на величину мин.цены; присваиваем бОльшую из новой цены, и минимальной
  price += (this.value === 'plus' ? 1 : -1) * parent.dataset.minPrice;
  priceEl.textContent = Math.max(price, parent.dataset.minPrice);
}
.price-block,
.price-block > input {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 8px; margin: 4px;
  font: 16px sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

.newprice { font-size: 2em; }
.price-block > input { min-width: 70px; }

.price-block > input[value="minus"] { background: #ebb; }

First is On the Hypocrisy of Innovators by Jeff DeGraff, professor at University of Michigan. In addition to some wonderful writing, the laces together choice memorable quotes to create an easy to remember mantra for daring to stay innovative.
As a side note, I'm turning into a content addict on LinkedIn. I have to say they are doing a great job of making LinkedIn into a powerful information tool for professionals beyond just recruiting and hunting for a Job.
Second, is The Smart Apps Explosion is Happening Right Now, in Venture Beat that succinctly gives great examples of how our location-based, mobile, cloud-based digital services should be acting. It just proves to me that there's plenty of room left for innovation in this period of disruption, and especially fast follower success. Compare this functionality to how we should be building these new digital services.
Last is to offer a thank you to an innovative employee of the Globe and Mail who shared her work with SAP HANA and Hadoop. Sandy Yang did what a conference full of people at Strata were clueless about: turned a Hadoop cluster into a responsive analytics infrastructure for "schema-less" data by adding an in-memory database like SAP HANA on top, for about $200 a month.
How an elastic Hadoop cluster with SAP HANA One in the cloud fits into your enterprise BI infrastructure.
What are your thoughts on any of these topics?


At Speedplay, we were born with the need for speed – both on-road and off. After inventing the most technically-advanced road pedals, we set out to develop a state-of-the-art, off-road pedal system that is equally capable on the road. Designed for riders who are dissatisfied with traditional MTB pedals and want more than just a basic connection, the Speedplay SYZR is the result of a our effort to develop the ultimate, made-to-go-anywhere clipless pedal system.
Current MTB pedals are wobbly and have "play" between the cleat and pedal. The SYZR is the first and only design that eliminates the "play" that riders hate. To ensure a precision connection between the pedal and cleat, the SYZR has a unique 4-point contact that's cinched together by down-force to eliminate slop from the connection. These 4-point contacts have stabilizer feet that rest on the outboard edges of the pedal for unprecedented side-to-side platform stability.
Special funnel-shaped wings on the leading edge of the cleats are used to guide the cleat into the pedal's latch mechanism for faster, easier engagement. The cleat funnel guides eliminate the need to look down when engaging the pedal by effectively increasing the size of the system's "target area", making the pedals easier to locate and clip-in by feel.
Current Speedplay Zero or Ultra Light Action user who wants the same features and benefits in an off-road system.
Rider who needs platform stability and 100% power transfer for Gravel or any off-road adventure.
MTB rider who is dissatisfied with the sloppy, wobbly connection and inefficient power transfer of traditional off-road pedals.
Off-Road Racer (Cross Country, Cyclo Cross, or Off-Road Triathlon) who seeks an off-road pedal system with the performance features of a road system.
Endurance road rider who uses recessed cleat shoes for walking convenience but wants the power transfer and platform stability of a road system.
Rider who is looking for fitting options including custom spindle lengths, micro-adjustable float, and leg length discrepancy solutions not offered with other brands.


Twice in as many weeks, I have gotten the same surprising reaction during lunch conversations from friends who work in technology-related professions. When I asked them what they were doing with the cloud, each one of them said, "The cloud? I keep hearing that term and am afraid to sound stupid, but I don't think I understand what it really means."
If we say the word enough, will everyone understand? Maybe. In the meantime, there are a plenty of smart people out there, including your clients, that don't know what "the cloud" means and are afraid to ask for fear of sounding stupid. And if they don't understand it, they sure aren't going to adopt it.
There is a school of thought that webinars and seminars with titles like "Embrace the Cloud" and "Cloud Power" will intrigue prospects to want to find out more. Certainly, there are many professionals -- especially IT buyers -- that understand the cloud and all its variations very clearly. But what about your target prospects?
If your current and potential client contacts are non-technical people, you may have the perfect opportunity to help them "not feel stupid." Take it down a notch and educate your audience on the basics first. You will earn points and trust.
Part of the challenge in keeping the message simple is that "the cloud" is used to describe a pretty wide range of applications, services and combinations of the two. For your audience, start simple and expand from there.
Something like this: At the basic level, "the cloud" or "cloud computing" refers to software -- from e-mail to accounting to customer relationship management -- that users access through the Internet. Cloud computing allows small companies to use powerful applications, including Exchange, SharePoint, Live Meeting, CRM and Office without expensive hardware or extensive IT support.
Now that you have their attention and appreciation for clearing the fog, take the opportunity to explain the value-add that you bring. Bullet-point the benefits that they get from working with you if they decide to transition to the cloud, but don't get too deep too fast. Adoption for many companies will take years. Help your clients understand the variations and options offered through the cloud over time.
However you introduce the cloud to your customers, whether it's through your monthly newsletter, webinars or seminars, start with the basics and build from there. Our industry is notorious for talking over people's heads about the latest advances in technology. Keep it simple.
Do you have a good cloud story? Tell me about it and let's share the knowledge.


Hayabusa is just a mortal tapping into the arcane ninja arts.
Kratos is a demigod/god (honestly what's the diff).
Ffs will you please stop calling him "Ninja gaiden".
Yeah I've never played the games but isn't his name ryu?
Isn't Kratos also pretty much unkillable?
At the end of GoW3, he impales himself with the BoO yet he's still alive for GoW.
Didn't zues impale him with it too?
Also Dante is King of getting impaled. Dmc 1 impaled with his own sword in the intro then again with alastor early in the game. Dmc 3 impaled in the gut with Vergils katana then again right after with his own sword. Dmc 4 pinned to a statue by his own sword. Haven't played 5 so idk.
But he gets impaled a lot.
Both demis. Go back and forth from hell. Gets impaled a lot but always survives.
Dante seem way more fun than Kratos though.
I actually now want to see a quality animation of these two faces of the genre go at it now. Thanks.


Turquoise is a lovely color, which is a combo of green and blue, which gives it the advantages of both colors: it's calming and relaxing as blue and cheerful and stress relieving as green. Such a color is absolutely perfect for a bedroom or bathroom, especially for the latter one, where ocean and sea touches and hints are very popular. Let's see how to incorporate this vivacious shade into your bathroom and keep it stylish.
Turquoise walls are a very popular idea for bathrooms, and here you may go for a whole bathroom done with such walls, or just two or one statement wall. Turquoise tiles are really beautiful and they exist in all kinds of shades and textures, so you can create any look that you like. Painting walls and giving them a Moroccan-style look painting on plaster is another great and bold idea to try. If you want a more modern look, prefer turquoise tiles covering the half of the wall and white paint for the second half. Wanna create a more ocean-like feel? Go for turquoise fish scale tiles, there's nothing more eye-catchy and beautiful than that. Highlight the shower with a turquoise tile statement wall or walls, or highlight the sink zone, try cladding the wall and go cover the bathtub too.
If you want to add a slight bold touch to the bathroom decor, a great idea is rocking a turquoise furniture piece or fixture. Repaint an old pharmacy cabinet or a vintage vanity in turquoise and add this piece to the space, it's sure to make a statement and make the space bolder and wow, even if there are no other turquoise details. A turquoise sink or bathtub is another chic idea to rock, it's a cool bright touch to rock and there are lots of ideas to try. If you can't find a proper bathtub, just paint a vintage one in turquoise yourself.

The 1956 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVI Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event which was held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1956, apart from the equestrian events, which were held five months earlier in Stockholm. The 1956 Games were the first to be staged in the Southern Hemisphere and Oceania, as well as the first to be held outside Europe and North America. Melbourne is the southernmost city to host the games. Equestrian events could not be held in Australia due to quarantine regulations. This was the second Olympics not to be held entirely in one country, the first being the 1920 Summer Olympics, which Antwerp, Belgium co-hosted with Amsterdam and Ostend.

Host city selection
Melbourne was selected as the host city over bids from Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Montreal and six American cities on 28 April 1949, at the 43rd IOC Session in Rome, Italy.[1]

Many members of the IOC were skeptical about Melbourne as an appropriate site. Its location in the Southern Hemisphere was a major concern, since the reversal of seasons would mean the Games were held during the northern winter. This was thought likely to inconvenience athletes from the Northern Hemisphere, who were accustomed to resting during their winter.
Melbourne was selected, in 1949, to host the 1956 Olympics by a one-vote margin. The first sign of trouble was the revelation that Australian equine quarantine would prevent the country from hosting the equestrian events. Stockholm was selected as the alternative site, so equestrian competition began on 10 June, five and a half months before the rest of the Olympic Games were to open, half a world away.
The problems of the Melbourne Games were compounded by bickering over financing among Australian politicians. Faced with a housing shortage, the Premier of Victoria refused to allocate money for the Olympic Village (eventually sited in Heidelberg West), and the country's Prime Minister barred the use of federal funds.
At one point, IOC President Avery Brundage suggested that Rome, which was to host the 1960 Games, was so far ahead of Melbourne in preparations that it might be ready as a replacement site in 1956.
As late as April 1955, Brundage was still doubtful about Melbourne, and was not satisfied by an inspection trip to the city. Construction was well under way by then, thanks to a $4.5 million federal loan to Victoria, but it was behind schedule. He still held out the possibility that Rome might have to step in.
By the beginning of 1956, though, it was obvious that Melbourne would be ready for the Olympics.[3]
Participation and boycotts
Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon announced that they would not participate in the Olympics in response to the Suez Crisis when Egypt was invaded by Israel, the United Kingdom, and France after Egypt nationalised the Suez canal. Meanwhile, in 1956 the Soviet Union crushed the Hungarian Revolution, and the Soviet presence at the Games led to the withdrawal of the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland.
Less than two weeks before the 22 November opening ceremony, the People's Republic of China chose to boycott the event because the Republic of China had been allowed to compete.
Although the number of countries participating (67) was almost the same as in 1952 (69), the number of athletes competing dropped sharply, from 4,925 to 3,342. (This figure does not include the 158 athletes from 29 countries who took part in the Stockholm equestrian competition.)
Once underway, the Games unfolded smoothly, and became known as the "Friendly Games". Betty Cuthbert, an 18-year-old from Sydney, won the 100- and 200-metre dashes and ran a great final leg in the 4 x 100-metre relay to overcome Great Britain's lead and claim her third gold medal. The veteran Shirley Strickland repeated in the 80-metre hurdles and also ran on the relay team, running her career total to seven, three golds, a silver, and three bronze medals.
But it was in swimming that the Australians really shone. They won all of the freestyle races, men's and women's, and collected a total of eight gold, four silver and two bronze medals. Murray Rose became the first male swimmer to win two freestyle events since Johnny Weissmuller in 1924, while Dawn Fraser won gold medals in the 100-metre freestyle and as the leadoff swimmer on the 4 x 100-metre relay team.
Controversial judging prevented the United States from winning all four diving events, which had become almost customary. Pat McCormick again took gold medals in both the women's springboard and the platform, and Bob Clotworthy won the men's springboard. However, Gary Tobian was given unusually low scores by the Soviet and Hungarian judges, and he finished second by just .03 to Mexico's Joaquín Capilla in the platform event.
United States men dominated track and field. They not only won 15 of 24 events, they swept four of them and finished first and second in five others. Bobby Morrow led the way with gold medals in the 100- and 200-metre dashes and the 4 x 100-metre relay. Tom Courtney barely overtook Great Britain's Derek Johnson in the 800-metre run, then collapsed from the exertion and needed medical attention.
Vladimir Kuts of the Soviet Union ran away from his competition in the 5,000- and 10,000-metre runs, while Ireland's Ron Delany ran a brilliant 53.8 over the last 400 metres to win the 1,500-metre run, in which favourite John Landy of Australia finished third.
There was a major upset, marred briefly by controversy, in the 3,000-metre steeplechase. Little-known Chris Brasher of Great Britain finished well ahead of the field, but judges announced that he was disqualified for interfering with Norway's Ernst Larsen, and they anointed Sándor Rozsnyói of Hungary as the winner. Brasher's appeal was supported by Larsen, Rozsnyói, and fourth-place finisher Heinz Laufer of Germany. The decision was reversed and Brasher became the first Briton to win a gold medal in track and field since 1936.
Only two world records were set in track and field. Mildred McDaniel, the first American woman to win gold in the sport, set a high jump record of 1.76 metres (5.8 ft), and Egil Danielsen of Norway overcame a troublesome wind with a remarkable javelin throw of 85.71 metres (281.2 ft).
Throughout the Olympics, Hungarian athletes were cheered by fans from Australia and other countries. Many of them gathered in the boxing arena when thirty-year-old Laszlo Papp of Hungary won his third gold medal by beating José Torres for the light-middleweight championship.
A few days later, the crowd was with the Hungarian water polo team in its match against the Soviet Union which became known as the Blood In The Water match. The game became rough and, when a Hungarian was forced to leave the pool with blood streaming from a cut over his eye, a riot almost broke out. But police restored order and the game was called early, with Hungary leading 4–0. The Hungarians went on to win the gold medal.
Despite the international tensions of 1956 – or perhaps because of them – a young Melburnian, John Ian Wing, came up with a new idea for the closing ceremony. Instead of marching as teams, behind their national flags, the athletes mingled with one another as they paraded into and around the arena for a final appearance before the spectators. That began an Olympic tradition that has been followed ever since.[4]
Hungary and the Soviet Union (engaged in an armed conflict at the time) were both present at the Games which, among other things, led to a hotly contested and violent water polo encounter between the nations.
Athletes from both East and West Germany competed in a combined team. This remarkable combination disappeared at the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Australian athlete Betty Cuthbert became the "Golden Girl" by winning three track gold medals. Her performance was equalled by sprinter Bobby Morrow.
Another Australian, Murray Rose, won three gold medals in swimming.
Soviet runner Vladimir Kuts won both the 5000m and 10000m.
Inspired by Australian teenager John Wing, an Olympic tradition began when athletes of different nations are allowed to parade together at the closing ceremony, instead of with their national teams, as a symbol of world unity.
During the Games there will be only one nation. War, politics and nationalities will be forgotten. What more could anybody want if the world could be made one nation.
—Extract from a letter by John Ian Wing to the Olympic organisers, 1956
Laszlo Papp defended his light-middleweight boxing title, gaining a record third gold.
Ronnie Delany won gold for Ireland in the 1500m final. It is the last gold medal Ireland has won in a track event.
The India national field hockey team won its sixth consecutive gold
Olympic Flame Relay
Torch Relay monument, Cairns
The Olympic Flame was relayed to Melbourne after being lit at Olympia on 2 November 1956.
Greek runners took the flame to Athens.
The flame was transferred to a miner's lamp then flown by Qantas Super Constellation aircraft "Southern Horizon" to Darwin, Northern Territory.
A Royal Australian Air Force English Electric Canberra jet bomber flew it to Cairns, Queensland, where it arrived on 9 November 1956.
The Mayor of Cairns, Alderman W.J. Fulton, lit the first torch.
The torch design was – with the exception of the engraved city name and year – identical to the design used for the 1948 London Games.
The first runner was Con Verevis, a local man of Greek parentage.
The flame was relayed down the east coast of Australia using diecast aluminium torches weighing about 3 pounds (1.8 kg).
The flame arrived in Melbourne on 22 November 1956.
The Olympic Flame was lit at the stadium by Ron Clarke, burning his arm in the process.
When the Olympic Flame was being carried to Sydney, an Australian veterinary student named Barry Larkin carried a fake Olympic Flame and fooled the mayor of Sydney.[5]

A total of 67 nations competed in Melbourne. Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Kenya, Liberia, Federation of Malaya, North Borneo (modern-day Sabah of Malaysia), and Uganda made their Olympic debut. Athletes from East Germany and West Germany competed together as the United Team of Germany, an arrangement that would last until 1968.
For the first time the team of Republic of China effectively represented only Taiwan.
This was the Olympic debut for Cambodia. Egypt did not compete in Melbourne due to the Suez Crisis, whilst Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland all boycotted the Australian event in protest at the Soviet invasion of Hungary.[7]

The heritage registered former Olympic Pool (now Westpac Centre) from the Yarra River.
Buildings from the Olympics
The Olympics left Melbourne with some landmark buildings. The Olympic Stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was demolished in 2004. However, the former Olympic Pool remains as part of the Westpac Centre at the Olympic Park complex. The former athletes' village in Heidelberg West remains as public housing, and the small stadium there is home of local Association Football team Heidelberg United FC. Certain buildings already established by the time the Melbourne Olympics began (such as St Kilda Town Hall, where the fencing events were held, and West Melbourne Stadium (subsequently renamed Festival Hall) still stand.

Viagra. Usage of the blue pill without a medical prescription can be deadly. PHOTO | FILE | NATION MEDIA GROUP
In its first two decades on sale, over 30 million men in 120 countries bought this drug, making it one of the fastest drugs to penetrate the market.
The popularity of Viagra, though, has also given rise to multiple counterfeit drugs claiming to resolve this disorder, which are also flying off the shelves.
By SIMON MBURU
Sildenafil citrate. This is the less popular name of a drug that is extremely popular with men. Viagra, as it is known, improves erectile function.
Interestingly, this drug was not initially synthesised for use for treatment of erectile dysfunction.
It was meant to treat high blood pressure and heart diseases, but since it acquired approval for use as a treatment for erectile dysfunction in 1997 from the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) in the US, millions of men have used it to boost their sexual performance.
For example, in its first two decades on sale, over 30 million men in 120 countries, including Kenya, bought this drug, making it one of the fastest drugs to penetrate the market.
Almost immediately after its launch in the US, it was prescribed at the rate of at least 10,000 users per day.
Within three weeks, 150,000 prescriptions had been made. This popularity has spread from the US and touched all parts of the world, including Kenya, where the drug is legally approved by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board Kenya (PPB).

The board has also approved a second brand of Sildenafil known as Revatio.
Dr Gitobu Mburugu, a consultant urologist at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and chairman of the Kenya Association of Urological Surgeons, says there are three common types of drugs used to improve erectile dysfunction.
"It's not only Viagra that is present in Kenya. There is also Cialis and Vardenafil, which are PDE5 (also known as phosphodiesterase 5) inhibitors used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction," the doctor says.
Vardenafil is sold under the trade names Levitra vivanza and Staxyn.
For example, a 2011 poll conducted by the manufacturer of Viagra, Pfizer, showed that 80 per cent of the pill randomly bought online is fake.
In Kenya, the PPB in 2017 also raised the alarm over the rising availability and usage of fake and substandard sex-enhancing drugs in the country.
According to the board, such drugs are the most smuggled into the country. "The major counterfeited drugs in the country include lifestyle drugs, such as Viagra, due to their high demand," says Dr Peter Mbwiiri Ikamati, the Deputy Director at the Directorate of Product Enforcement and Regulation at the PPB.
In 2015, a Kenyan man was arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport with a whopping 440,000 libido boosting pills that were estimated to be worth Sh44 million.
The man had imported the tablets, labelled Vega 100mg, from India. He told the police that he had intended to sell the drugs at Sh100 a tablet.
In March, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) issued a notice through the Kenya Gazette on an impending destruction of unclaimed goods at the Eldoret International Airport.
Among these goods were drugs meant to correct erectile dysfunction that included 6,000 tablets of Vigrx Plus, 35 pieces of Viagra (50mg), and nine pieces of Cialis 20mg.
The local market for sex-enhancing drugs is growing fast. On Kenya's online pharmacy platforms, Viagra is currently the most ordered medication.
Early this year, a report by Pfizer announced that Viagra is the most purchased drug in Kenya's e-pharmacies.
The company's director for regional projects, Patrick Holtz, said these high sales are being boosted by the advent of mobile technology and the internet.
The availability of the pill over the counter has also played a major role in boosting usage.
For example, a spot check by DN2 revealed that generic performance-enhancing drugs can be easily accessed over the counter at local chemists for as low as Sh50 per 50mg tablet and Sh100 for two tablets.
There are also gel and spray options, which are available over the counter and on e-commerce sites in Kenya.
For example, a gel known as Beast, claims to offer "maximum duration, pleasure, and penile enlargement", costs Sh6,500 on Kenyan e-commerce site, Jiji.
On G Spot Kenya, a site that sells sex toys and other related products, a spray that claims to delay a man's climaxing for up to 60 minutes costs Sh2,000. This spray is touted as an alternative to Viagra.
Viagra costs Sh1,000 a tablet while Cialis goes for Sh1,200. A packet of four tablets ranges from between Sh3,260 to Sh7,500.
The original Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) pill was sold for as much as Sh6,500 per tablet by Pfizer.
In 2017, this company developed a generic version that would go on to sell at half the original price.
What most buyers of Viagra may not know is that the sale of the drug over the counter is illegal. "Viagra is approved for treatment of erectile dysfunction and is scheduled as a prescription-only medicine," Dr Ikamati says.
He attributes the rush for the blue pill and its subsequent abuse to misconception where sex is concerned.
"There is a misconception that the pill powers sexual activity; it should only be used if there is erectile dysfunction involved and as recommended by a physician," he warns.
Women could get their own pill if recent medical developments are anything to go by.
In June this year, US drug regulator FDA approved a drug known as Vyleesi, which is designed to increase sexual desire in women yet to reach menopause.
The drug is being manufactured by Palatin Technologies and Amag Pharmaceuticals and will target premenopausal women with the hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), a disorder caused by low sexual desire.
This drug is expected to fly off the shelves once it hits the market in September this year with estimated annual sales of over Sh103 billion in the US, where Amag Pharmaceuticals says that one in 10 women (or 5.8 million women) suffer from HSDD.
While common assumption would be for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to be at the forefront in purchasing the drugs, it is men with no erectile challenges leading the way.
Dr Ikamati attributes this to the misconception among sexually active men that Viagra is the key to longevity during sex.
This, he says, "is the reason most users don't go for prescriptions".
This is echoed by Dr Gitobu, who blames the proliferation of pornographic material as fuelling abuse of these drugs among men with no erectile disorders.
"We're witnessing a big number of traumatised young men who are coming in with psychological impotence due to the pressure, performance standards and duration contained in pornographic materials," he says.
Psychological impotence is a condition in which the man is unable to get an erection, struggles to get an erection, or has difficulty maintaining an erection.
When administered for its rightful use, though, Viagra can be a solution for men with erectile problems.
For example, a study titled "Sildenafil (Viagra) in the management of male erectile dysfunction in Nairobi", which was conducted by Prof George Magoha in the year 2000, then-professor of surgery and a consultant urologist at the College of Health Sciences of the University of Nairobi, found that 91.32 per cent of men with erectile dysfunction reported improved sexual functioning after treatment with Viagra.
This improvement included better erectile and orgasmic abilities and general sexual satisfaction.
The study included 219 men with erectile dysfunction who were aged 33 years and above.
It was conducted at urology clinics at Kenyatta National Hospital and the Nairobi Hospital and was published by the University of Nairobi.
A majority of men in the study responded positively to therapy when 50mg of Viagra was used.
However, the least response level was reported by men who used the 100mg Viagra tablet.
In the same vein, usage of the blue pill without a medical prescription can be deadly.
"It can end up killing you if you use it while taking nitrate medications. These medications will cause your blood pressure to drop to very unsafe levels," Dr Gitobu wwarns.
He explains that nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, are used to treat or prevent angina, a condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle cells is insufficient.
Nitrates are also used to treat chest pains caused by heart diseases that affect the arteries in the heart.
Pfizer also says that the medication should not be taken if the user is on guanylate cyclase stimulators such as Adempas, which are used for pulmonary hypertension — a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries that go from the heart to the lungs.
"When getting a prescription, you must tell your doctor if you have had heart surgery in the last six months; if you have had a stroke, deformed penis, sickle cell anaemia or leukaemia, kidney disease or are undergoing dialysis, liver problems, bleeding problems, or stomach ulcers," says Pfizer in its prescription information.
In addition, continuous over-the-counter purchase and use of Viagra can result in the body developing tolerance.
This, Dr Gitobu says, means that the body will not respond to the use of Viagra, especially in a man's later years when treatment for erectile dysfunction may be needed.
Other common side effects of using Viagra include nasal congestion that resembles the onset of a cold, backache, drop in blood pressure, photophobia, headaches, prolonged or long-lasting erection, known as priapism, and decreased blood supply to the optic nerve, which can cause sudden vision loss in people with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Game Review: Home by Benjamin Rivers
games, product reviews
Last night I attended Akron Film + Pixel's Indie Games: Play and Discuss, and (among other things) played a game called Home, by Benjamin Rivers. As it turned out, it seemed that there was a bit more Play than Discuss at this event, so I thought I'd review it the day after.
This game held my interest enough to play through it once, which was all I had time for. I don't know that I'd play it again, although I gather from the ending that if I did play it again, it would be a different experience of a different story, assuming I made different choices.
Unfortunately, I didn't find the choices to be all that interesting. Do I pick up the gun or do I leave it where it is? Do I pick up the key or do I leave it where it is? Do I pick up my wallet now that I've found it, or do I leave it where it is? Do I flip the switch or do I leave it alone for now, only to come back later and flip the switch because that's the only way forward? Do I look at the thing that automatically highlights when I walk by it so I can get another element of the story, or do I no longer care and just want to continue walking until I get to the end of the game? I DON'T KNOW, ALL THESE DECISIONS ARE TOO MUCH FOR ME! WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!
Apparently if you make different choices, the story that unfolds in flashback as you walk through this amnesiac world trying to put the pieces together and figure out if you're a murderer or not changes. Not that your decisions affect the future, but that your decisions somehow retroactively affect the past, such that, as you recall in flashback what happened before you blacked out, what you recall will be different based on what you did or didn't decide to do in the present.
This might make it seem interesting, but when all the story elements are as boring as they are likely to be (based on the ones I actually saw when I played through it), probably you don't care what other stories you might have crafted had you made different decisions enough to actually go back and make those different decisions in order to find out. After your play-through, there's an invitation to share your story on the game's web site, so if anyone actually does that, I suppose you can find out how things worked out differently for them based on their choices, but it all seems so boring an uninteresting that I really have to question the sensibility of anyone who'd actually spend time describing what they'd been through on a web site, other than as a to warning to others. Ahem. Like this.
Home bills itself as a horror game, but the only thing horrible about it might be that it could have been interesting and immersive, but wasn't. Each play-through feels very linear (despite the fact that you can make choices that change what you remember happened in the past), provides no danger or challenge or conflict, every bit of blood in the game has already been shed before you begin playing, and the tension that rises as the story unfolds while you re-discover your recent past never sufficiently pulls itself into the present moment. The apparent climax, when you decide whether you find the body of your wife in your cellar, or whether you don't find her and realize that she must have never actually existed except as a delusion, leaving you with even more unanswered questions that never get answered, is the textbook definition of anticlimax.
As I played, I kept expecting to run into someone else — anyone — maybe my girlfriend/wife, maybe someone (a familiar friend? a stranger?) I'd need to rescue or team up with in order to survive, maybe the killer(s), or even the police — would they keep me safe? Would they arrest me? Would I have to convince them of my innocense somehow? Were these items I was picking up going to incriminate me? Did picking up the gun protect me from the murderer finding the gun and using it against me, or did it implicate me in the murders that had already happened, whether I'd actually perpetrated them or not? There were so many ways which the plot could have developed that would have made the game vibrant and interesting. But none of that ever happened.
What else can I say about it? The pacing is slow. There's no run button, no jump button, no way to go any faster through the game. There's a tiny bit of exploration offered, but it's not terribly interesting. The pixel art graphics are OK to pretty good, and I do like pixel art, but when blown up to fullscreen, there's so much jpeg artifacting (or what looks like it) that it ruins the work put into it.
Worst of all, there are parts where I wanted to go backward, and was prevented from doing so by the game telling me "You don't want to do that." I think I should be the one who decides what I want! I guess I should thank it for sparing me from wasting time going back to someplace that will not advance the game, but it's much better to provide an external reason, as it does in certain parts of the game, than a "you just don't feel like it, sorry" reason that is total bullshit.
And there are so many unanswered questions: What happened to everyone? Who was the killer? Is anyone still alive besides you? Why do you need a flashlight everywhere you go, even outdoors, or indoors in places where there should be light?
In fairness, I did not get to play the game with sound, so it could be that I'm missing out on some crucial elements that would have made the experience more enjoyable, even worthwhile. And to be honest, I didn't find myself hating the game so much while I was playing it, as I did after once I had been through everything and realized that that's all there was. It just built up to something that it never delivered. I did continue playing it, hoping that the plot would deepen until it got better. It just never did. Home tries to offer an interesting interactive narrative, and while it does contain a good bit more narrative than many videogames, that doesn't make it good narrative, or a good videogame. Other narrative art forms give you way more (read any halfway decent book!) and other video games give you more as well (pick your poison).
I don't get it. There are plenty of positive reviews for the game. Is it possible that I simply made all of the most boring choices possible, resulting in an anemic plot where nothing drastic actually happens, in spite of copious dead bodies found nearly everywhere, without sufficient explanation other than maybe you did it? Or is this some kind of "art game" that is great art because it turns the notion of a game on its head, and offers for your consideration that a game can be boring, thereby challenging your notions about what games are about?
I won't recommend staying away from Home if you are in the mood for reliving the experimental 80's text adventure genre in a rather dull implementation that offers barely any puzzle beyond how to navigate around the screens and no interesting choices or decisions. If you absolutely have to play every game in this genre, then so you shall. Otherwise, there's probably something better you could do with your time, like trim your toenails or perhaps watch an aquarium full of snails.

I'm sorry you didn't understand any of the game's bright sides. Not everything has to be fast-paced action and this game proves it. It builds up anxiety, not fear, and leaves open way for your fantasy when it's all over. I have to say I enjoyed this game quite a lot. Maybe you should treat it more like a piece of art than as a video game. It is, in its very own meaning, a sort of a poem. It's abstract, well-written and it makes you feel…strange, anxious, exciting.
Chris Sanyk
It's OK; I don't have to like every game. I do think it's more of an artistic/experimental game, and I think most people who have lauded it like it for that reason.
I didn't dislike it because it lacks reflexy action; I do like games that focus on interactive storytelling and don't necessarily have a lot of "action". I disliked it because nothing interesting happened in the game, and even that was OK because it kept building suspense, and the mystery kept building up, but the letdown at the very end when STILL nothing interesting happened really let me down. I thought it could have just been my fault, maybe I could have made different choices and perhaps the game would have had a much more interesting plot, but I think the design fails if there's a way to have a really boring experience playing it.
My take on it is that art/experimentation is a good thing, in that it can lead to great discoveries and innovations, but that does not mean that every experimentation results in that. That's OK; and developers shouldn't stop trying new things and putting them out just because someone might not like them.

The game is much better if you play it through with sound. That is how most of the atmosphere is built in that game.
I do agree with you when your talking about its lack of interesting plot. I was wondering if giving bodies a proper burial would get my fingerprints on them or if carring the knife would incriminate me but there are no police.. I took the gun in case I ran into the murderer but you don't even find out who killed everyone. Did they kill each other? Did I do it? I played it though a second time making different choices but not much changed.
Like you I enjoyed it while playing though the first time but I was annoyed when it finished. It felt like only half a game


What is screening for cervical or uterine cancer?
There are 2 types of cancer that affect the uterus: cervical cancer which affects the entrance to the uterus known as the cervix and uterine cancer which affects the uterine body. Cervical cancer, predominantly caused by (a sexually transmitted) infection) with the human papillomavirus (HPV), is on the decrease in Japan due to factors such as effective screening procedures etc., however, uterine cancer which has also been linked with obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes is on the increase.
While cervical cancer was the second most common cause of death in women fifty years ago after stomach cancer, today it has dropped to sixth place with around 5000 women dying of it each year. However, uterine cancer is on the increase and has risen from 10% of cancers affecting the uterus to 30%.
What are the symptoms of cervical and uterine cancer?
While there are almost no symptoms in the early stages of cervical cancer, with uterine cancer, 90% of women have irregular vaginal bleeding.
Cervical cancer: A small brush or brush-like device will be wiped over the entrance to the uterus (the cervix) to pick up some cells. While there may be a little bleeding, it shouldn't hurt.
Uterine cancer: Because a long brush is inserted into the uterine body to collect some cells, there may be some pain and bleeding. While it differs from person to person, if the cervical canal is narrow the doctor may not be able to perform the procedure due to severe pain or the brush not being able to enter the uterus.
From 2005, Sapporo city extended cervical cancer screening to all women aged 20 and over.It is offered every consecutive year, i.e. to women aged 20, 22, 24, e.t.c. Since it is caused by a virus that is transmitted sexually, all sexually experienced women are invited to participate.
* Note: Even if you do not meet any of the above criteria, you may be asked to undergo the procedure if your doctor deems it necessary.
At present the effectiveness of screening for uterine cancer has been proven. "Effectiveness" means that screening is highly effective (in discovering cancer in the target population) and early detection contributes to an overall decrease in deaths from the disease.
Since uterine cancer screening involves some "pain" and "bleeding", please decide if you would still like to have the procedure after carefully reading the explanation above.
Please refer to "Cervical cancer vaccine".

The New York Tech Meetup is making strides towards making New York City the absolute best city in the world for tech. They have internally crafted a list of goals, and now they are sharing them and bringing awareness to some tech-heavy policies. The NYC tech community is aspiring to shape the island of Manhattan into the tech hub of the world by laying out a proposal of potential changes that could and should be enforced.
Later this year, city wide elections will take place for the mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough presidents and city council seats. The results of the NYTM will be presented to the candidates running for office and hopefully have an impact on them. If you want to check out the complete list of issues that they have already come up with, you can visit their blog and learn more.
Of the list, there are two bullet points in particular that caught our attention here at Fueled. The first aims to "Make New York City the clear choice for entrepreneurs, software engineers, and other technically skilled professionals to start a business and build a career by making it easy to find partners, financing, office space and housing, employees, and access to markets." Since we deal with all components of the above statement, it's obvious that we'd be advocates for such a plan. The growing number of startup incubators and co-working spaces that have started in New York are the perfect jumping off point to fulfill the above point.
The latter point is to "Make New York City the most citizen-connected community on earth, where its people connect with each other to unleash a powerful 21st century economy: selling to each other, renting to each other, funding each other, sharing with each other, coworking with each other, meeting up with each other, and hiring each other."
Even though Mayor Bloomberg may not be our mayor here in NYC for much longer, hopefully we will acquire another force who is equally invested in the rise of technology. It is safe to say that our future heavily lies in the hands of technology. Our way of life has already been affected greatly and will continue to change as more innovative projects arise. Since we rely so heavily on technology and gadgets, more and more jobs are in this field. NYTM makes it a point that everybody in the city has access to tech and that the children of the city are introduced to it at a young age. The plan is to shape everybody, of all ages, and to shape the city that it is the tech capital of the world.
