Latino Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal. Its principal aim is to advance interdisciplinary scholarship about the lived experience and struggles of Latinas and Latinos for equity, representation, and social justice. Sustaining the tradition of activist scholarship of the founders of Chicana and Chicano Studies and Puerto Rican Studies, we critically engage the study of the local, national, transnational, and hemispheric realities that continue to influence the Latina and Latino presence in the United States.
Latino Studies provides an intellectual forum for innovative explorations and theorization, and is committed to developing a new transnational research agenda that bridges the academic and non-academic worlds and fosters mutual learning and collaboration among all the Latino national groups. We publish scholarly research, periodic reports on curriculum developments and pedagogy, analyses of significant regional and local events, and letters from our readers on our contributors' articles.
Authors should submit papers electronically via the journal's electronic submission system at the link below.
We welcome submissions of original research articles from scholars in the national and international research communities. Manuscripts should preferably be submitted in English, in Word format, via electronic attachment. Please double space the entire manuscript, including all notes and bibliographical references, and make sure all pages are numbered consecutively. Scholarly articles should not normally exceed 8,000 words in length. Please print a word count and date at the end of your manuscript.
Please note that the Journal can only accept submissions of unpublished manuscripts, that are not being considered by other publications.
Latino Studies now has an Internal Review Committee, composed of the Editor and the Journal's 3 Associate Editors. The Committee meets 3 times a year, to read and review each submission prior to our review process. The purpose of our internal review committee is to enhance authors' chances for publication.

The fate of patients with acute myeloid leukemia not undergoing induction chemotherapy

Advances in chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have resulted in the exclusion of patients not undergoing induction chemotherapy from research studies. To examine in detail the clinical experience of such patients, we retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of consecutive patients diagnosed with AML at our hospital from 2004 to 2012. Of 158 AML patients, 43 (27 %) did not undergo induction chemotherapy. Their median survival duration was 1.5 months, with 11, six, and four patients surviving more than 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. As expected, their survival was worse than that of those treated with intensive or less-intensive induction therapy (14, 74, and 47 % at 1 year, and 0, 40, and 10 % at 4 years, respectively). Low white blood cell count at AML diagnosis and prior history of myelodysplastic syndrome were significantly associated with longer survival. Our findings suggest that modern supportive care measures do not prolong survival for AML patients not undergoing induction chemotherapy, although certain patients show relatively long survival. These data should prove helpful in discussing treatment pathways with patients for cases in which palliative or supportive therapy alone may be a viable treatment option.

Bookworm's Paradise in New York
June 7, 2017 by Sujatamassey.com Webmaster
The program ad for my next book!
Last week, I got caught in a perfect storm: hot weather and hotter books.
I was in New York City for BookExpo—once known as BEA, or Book Expo America. Starting this year, the show's name was shortened to emphasize the global nature of the event. BookExpo is the largest book trade fair in North America and has bounced between convention centers in Washington DC, Chicago, and New York since 1947. Although it's not as populated a gathering as those in Frankfurt and London, I was impressed by its scale. I hadn't known it was possible to produce book banners the size of a house, and that no space could escape advertising: not even the stairs.
Precisely positioned Pullman steps
Who's got the biggest banner?
My marquee event was the Library Reads Dinner at the elegant Yale Club. It was humbling to be invited by a librarians' association to set on a panel with five other writers with serious credentials. I was there with Corner of Bitter and Sweet bestseller Jamie Ford; powerful National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward; humor memoirist John Hodgman; science journo Annalee Newitz; and debut true crime guy Ben Blum.
Librarians paying attention in the gorgeous Yale Club
Do I sound too buzzy? I guess the marketing and PR focus of BookExpo has gone to my head. We were each charged with pitching our books and speaking of the power of libraries at 13 minutes per writer. I'd practiced with a stopwatch.
Jamie Ford, myself and Annalee Newitz after the pitching
My turn arrived in the middle of the Library Reads dinner, when the petit fours and coffee were being served. I spoke about my misadventures getting library cards at the National Library of India and the British Library and explained that my new mystery series is inspired by the legal cases of India's first woman lawyer, Cornelia Sorabji. I told the librarians that I wouldn't have thought of a woman lawyer series if Cornelia's early 20th century memoirs hadn't been preserved. I also went into some detail on how her scanned memoir's pages were riddled with holes made by a hungry bookworm. I thought my comments about the true origins of the word "bookworm" would get some knowing chuckles, but no luck. Maybe it was because they were trying to eat dessert, or because insect-damaged paper is not a joke for anyone working in a library. Fortunately, they laughed at some other parts.
It was inspiring to hear my fellow panelists talk about their own library experiences—and the next day, to see Annalee with Charlie Jane Anders and Malka Older on a women's science fiction panel. I also scored a signed copy of Jamie Ford's next book, picked up ARCs from other writers, had bagels with my agent and hung out with the gang at Soho Press, who are bringing out my new Perveen Mistry series.
Charlie Jane Anders, Malka Older and Annalee Newitz are sci-fi wiz women
Soho Friends: PR Paul Oliver and Managing Editor Rachel Kowal
A friendly parade of librarians, journalists and booksellers came by Soho's booth to chat with us and get signed advance reader copies of The Widows of Malabar Hill. Signing these paperback galleys was a surreal experience. I had to remind myself this wasn't an actual book event, because the hardcover first editions won't hit bookshelves until January 2018. That's seven long months away.
The haul I brought home!
That afternoon, I rode the train home to Baltimore. My nose was already in the galley for Timothy Hallinan's next Bangkok thriller, Fool's River, and I had twelve more ARCs jammed into several promotional tote bags.
The bookworm felt rewarded.

Q: Cannot find module app when trying to run electron app I have seen other questions about this but it is not the same.
Windows 7 x64
Node 6.6.0
electron 1.4.1
npm 3.19.8
My problem is that if I run npm start which calls electron . defined in my package.json the app runs fine.  However if I just try to run electron . then I get the above error "Cannot find module app"
I think it must be path related but I can't figure it out. npm start is running the same command, I am running both commands in the root folder where main.js is located.  I have also tried explicitly calling electron main.js with the same error.
Another note: when I run a debug session using Phpstorm it runs successfully. The debug configuration, Node interpreter = electron.cmd and Javascript File = main.js

Artificial Intelligence ("AI") is not a new concept, especially to the people who are enthusiastic about science and technology. New technologies are innovated and incorporated into the routine in the life of people. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one such innovation which has drastically impacted the functional ecosystem of society. The technology is changing rapidly, with computers and now robots, replacing simple human activities. AI is basically a machine that can actually think on its own. Of late, we are observing greater than before discussions on scope of Artificial Intelligence and its legal implications. Last year the United States saw several legal issues between the US government and the technology companies. With the passage of time and the development of AI software, these issues are likely to grow. Indian Legal industry has not been much open to the technological changes. Our Legal system has always been labour intensive. Nowadays, Law firms are using AI for their legal functions. With this ongoing trends relating to AI, this workshop highlights the legal issues and challenges related to AI.

Mr. Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold) (Con): I am delighted to have been able to catch your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I am grateful to Radio Gloucestershire for alerting me to a matter concerning the merger of the Gloucestershire, Avon and Wiltshire ambulance services, which was put out to consultation by the Government and put to consultants by the strategic health authority. I am told that there is to be a meeting tomorrow morning in the Forest of Dean. This will be the first public meeting to review the consultants' recommendation that a full-blown merger should take place. That recommendation is causing great anxiety to my constituents and to the people of Gloucestershire.
I held an Adjournment debate on this subject in Westminster Hall on 9 February 2005, and the then Minister who responded to it—the hon. Member for South Thanet (Dr. Ladyman)—said:
"I want local people to produce the best strategy for themselves and to decide how best to improve services throughout the area and not only in one part of it."
I wish that that were true. It was quite clear from the tone of the Minister's reply to my debate, and from my meeting with the chief executive of the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire strategic health authority, that the Government and the SHA had already embarked on a course of action that would lead to a full-blown merger of the three ambulance trusts.
I believe that this exercise is all about improving the efficiency of the Avon ambulance trust in particular. Gloucestershire is a two-star trust; the Avon and Wiltshire trusts have no stars at all. I believe that this is about trying to bring those two services up to the standard of the Gloucestershire service. At the end of his speech, the Minister also said:
"The status quo is still an option, as is rationalising the management organisation"—
that is, merging the management—
"rather than an outright merger of the three trusts."—[Official Report, Westminster Hall, 9 February 2005; Vol. 430, c. 450WH.]
I believe, however, that the Government had already embarked on an agenda that would lead to a merger.
That is particularly stupid because, 18 months ago, the Government initiated a project involving a tri-service site in Quedgeley, just outside Gloucester. This involved having the police, the fire service and the ambulance service all on the same site, at a cost of £6.3 million. If this proposal goes through, that site is likely to be scrapped. So £6.3 million of public money will have been completely wasted. This follows the Government's decision to regionalise the fire service; we already know that the fire service is being taken away from the site.
26 May 2005 : Column 952
I should like to illustrate the fact that my constituents feel that this proposal is putting their lives at risk. I know that we are always urged not to use pejorative language in the Chamber, but I believe that my constituents' lives could well be put at risk by the proposal. In the short time available to me, I should like to quote a report from The Citizen in Gloucester.
"Fran Stevenson's three-year-old son, Zak, woke up with a bad chest on a snowy Saturday morning. By the afternoon he had developed a wheeze which got increasingly worse. Mrs Stevenson, of Woodedge Road, Lower Milkwall, said: 'I began to get worried at about 5pm, and probably a bit more worried because it was a Saturday.' Mrs Stevenson phoned Coleford Health Centre"—
that is in the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Forest of Dean (Mr. Harper)—
"and was put through to the out-of-hours service. She explained Zak's symptoms, asked if she could talk it over with a doctor and was told one would ring back within the hour. 'But when it got to 7.15pm, I was torn between ringing 999 or ringing the out-of-hours service again,' she said. 'I rang the out-of-hours service and sat Zak next to me so they could hear him breathe. Once they heard him breath they put us through to 999.'
Mrs Stevenson was stunned by the swift arrival of the ambulance within 10 minutes. 'They were just superb and incredibly professional,' she said. 'They came into my home and helped Zak get dressed so we could get him to hospital.' It was a dark and snowy night and 10 minutes into the journey the ambulance got into difficulties. 'We were sliding, the ambulance wasn't able to move forward,' explained Mrs Stevenson. 'I could hear them talking about not being able to get up Cinderford Hill.'
The ambulance service was not able to get hold of a four-wheel drive so another ambulance was sent. But while they were waiting for it to arrive, the Stevensons were shown more kindness by a Good Samaritan. Local off-duty GP Dr Raj Bhageerutty,"—
I hope that I have pronounced his name right—
"who was on his way to have dinner with his wife, stopped and came on board the ambulance. 'He said he would stay with us and make sure Zak got to hospital. He was very kind,' said Mrs Stevenson. 'When the second ambulance crew took over, we soon started skidding so a gritter truck which had been out salting the roads went in front of us and we were able to get into GRH"—
the Gloucester Royal hospital.
"'They did everything possible to make us feel reassured, they were wonderful,' she said. Zak stayed in GRH for two days after doctors said they thought he had an underlying viral infection which may have been made worse by an allergic reaction."
The point of quoting that story is that local ambulance trusts know the local area backwards. They know exactly the best routes to get people to hospital.
If the merger takes place, the organisation will be based in Bristol. It will look after 2.2 million people, rather than 500,000 people at present. I do not believe that the same local knowledge will be employed. There is also a further fear that if the number of ambulances in rural areas is cut and a paramedic in a car is sent instead, that will not be the same as a full team of ambulance drivers arriving to help somebody with a possible cardiac arrest and able to help them in difficult circumstances.
I should like to emphasise how good the Gloucestershire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is by quoting from a speech that I made on 9 February:
"It is one of the country's leaders in some of the new treatments. For example, in pre-hospital thrombolysis treatment, modern IT enables the electronic kit to be attached to somebody's body and the information to be transmitted to a specialist sitting in a hospital, who can then see exactly what phase the heart is in and administer the drug at precisely the right time. That saves lives.
Not only does it save lives, but it is an example of how people might be kept out of hospital, thereby saving the NHS even more money. An efficient ambulance can treat people on the spot. They do not necessarily have to go to hospital; it might be more suitable for them to go into a nursing home, or even to stay in their own home with proper treatment from an occupational nurse.
Running down the ambulance service makes no sense. Apart from the pre-hospital thrombolysis initiative, the Gloucestershire ambulance service is one of the most innovative in the country in forming partnerships with other first-responder groups, such as the fire brigade. Indeed, the protocol with the St. John Ambulance brigade was so good that that brigade is now using it nationally.—[Official Report, Westminster Hall, 9 February 2005; Vol. 430, c. 444WH.]
That is an enormous tribute to the people who work in the Gloucestershire Ambulance Service NHS Trust and other brigades, who drive ambulances in often difficult conditions.
There is a further twist in the argument. We are having great difficulty in Gloucestershire with the out-of-hours service at night and at weekends. I have already had a constituency case in which somebody has died because they have not been admitted to hospital in time. There is no doubt that given the problems with the out-of-hours and weekend service, more and more people will rely on a swift and efficient ambulance service. I believe that the only reason for this merger is financial. That is an appalling way to run our national health service. My constituents want to be reassured that at some of the most difficult times that we may unfortunately have to face we can get an ambulance fast and efficiently. The drivers and ambulances in Gloucestershire currently provide that service, and there is great and deep unease about the Government's proposals.
Chris Grayling (Epsom and Ewell) (Con): My hon. Friend the Member for Cotswold (Mr. Clifton-Brown) made a powerful contribution to the debate, and I hope that his campaign is successful.
We have had a wide-ranging debate. It has been a debate of two halves. In the first half, we heard a series of maiden speeches from new Conservative and Liberal Democrat Members, and indeed from a new Scottish National party Member, which were of the highest quality. We will all take away from the debate the view that the House will be all the richer for the people who have arrived to serve in it during this Parliament. In the second half of the debate, the contributions from Government Members have been sparse, with a hint of filler in the afternoon's proceedings. One interesting feature of proceedings since our return after the election is that, day after day and in debate after debate, the Government Benches have been empty. The Government have not had enough speakers to keep the debate going. The hon. Member for Edmonton (Mr. Love) said at the start of his speech that he had hoped to make a contribution during the debate on the Queen's Speech, but had been unable to do so. He clearly missed the two days when the debate finished early and collapsed because of a lack of Government Members who wished to speak. If he had been here, he would have had more than enough time to contribute to the debate.

Words matter. I believe they have life and weight; that they bind us to our true selves, to each other, and to reality. A while back I began writing for a living. This web-site represents a commitment to the power of words. Writing has helped me get reacquainted with who I am. I find it carries with it the physical thread that links thought with action. It has changed how I am in the world, and given me the comfort of hope, courage, and reflection. Writing has made me a better person, it's offered both a roadmap and yardstick for measuring my progress in the world.
My subjects are nature, humor, sustainability, news, politics, the environment—and pretty much anything else. I've written an award winning children's book for Storey Publishing, "Wild Animals of North America," which received a 2008 Teachers' Choice Award from Learning Magazine. My stories and articles have appeared in national and regional magazines, and the local press. I also write a bi-weekly newspaper column called This Wild Place. I've become a regular OpEd and Letter to the Editor writer—often haranguing about abuses of the Constitution. Those forays are best described as satires, masking my sometimes full-scale outrage. An analogy might be what a quirky neighbor said in warning before I moved in, "Yeah, we're THAT kind of neighbor."

I attend a weekly vigil on the town common here. It is a close group of individuals standing against the current war—standing up for the Constitution and against torture as an acceptable policy in a democratic society, and an acceptable practice anywhere. I tell friends that my Saturday commitment is the best hour of my week. Those minutes are the most honest, free, most purely democratic time I invest all week. In a sense our bodies become our words in that public hour. And honest words are democracy itself.
So, I welcome you to some of my words, and thank you for taking the time to stop. Both current and past writing is posted, and a place for comments. I hope to keep enough humor and nature on these pages to balance out the darkness of current politics. It is important to laugh and celebrate beauty. To that end, another place that has given me some peace and freedom is a small peer writer's group I helped launch. It is an exercise in listening and trust; a place of new and unpackaged ideas. That is a rare space to inhabit. I am grateful for the writers who bring it to life. I encourage everyone to write and reflect, to take a walk or a bike ride whenever the spirit hits—and to remember to laugh.
My old college buddy Charlie (pre-steriods) encouraged me to start a blog over a glass of chablis as we competed in the Tour de France.
My neighbor, a young writer (writing under an assumed name), was also very supportive of my work.

Q: kendo pivotgrid Rows and Columns expand is always false I am trying to save PivotGrid state for future load. I have two problems
1: the expand property of row items is not changed at run time. Test here https://dojo.telerik.com/@Mzand/obIkEdAY : When the user expands an item at runtime the expand property of the returned row by dataSource.rows() is the same as what it was at initialization.
2: I can't find a way to save/load the selected feilds (slices) using the "Fields to Include" menu along side with rows,columns and measures.

A: I'm working in React but you should be able to do something similar.

*

*This is a bug, to work around it you can listen to expandMember and collapseMember events to manually track the axis and path of expanded rows/columns. see code below.

*If you mean the Configurator, just set its dataSource to that of the pivot grid after you create it. See below in createGrid().

*Bonus, see the end of createGrid to auto expand the items in the Configurator.

createGrid = () => {
  $(`#pivot-grid`).kendoPivotGrid({
    dataSource: {
      data: data,
      schema: schema,
      columns: this.state.columns,
      rows: this.state.rows,
      measures: this.state.measures,
      filter: this.state.filter
    },
    expandMember: this.onExpand,
    collapseMember: this.onCollapse
  });

  let grid = $(`#pivot-grid`).data('kendoPivotGrid');

  if (grid) {
    if (this.state.expands) {
      this.state.expands.forEach(expand => {
        if (expand.axis === 'rows') {
          grid.dataSource.expandRow(expand.path);
        } else {
          grid.dataSource.expandColumn(expand.path);
        }
      });
    }

    $(`#pivot-config`).kendoPivotConfigurator({
      dataSource: grid.dataSource,
      filterable: true
    });
  }

  // Expand the items in the configurator fields.
  let tree = $('.k-treeview').data('kendoTreeView');
  if (tree) {
    tree.expand('.k-item');
  }
};

onExpand = e => {
  this.setState({
    expands: [...this.state.expands, {
      axis: e.axis,
      path: e.path
    }]
  });
};

onCollapse = e => {
  this.setState({
    expands: this.state.expands.filter(ex => ex.axis !== e.axis && JSON.stringify(ex.path) !== JSON.stringify(e.path))
  });
};

A: Here is my try on this
what i like is, that it actually updates the data source as you would expect
function onExpandOrCollapseMember(e, expand) {
    var pivot = e.sender;
    var axisToUpdate = '_' + e.axis;
    var field = _.find(pivot.dataSource[axisToUpdate], f => JSON.stringify(f.name) === JSON.stringify(e.path));
    field.expand = expand;
}

And on the pivot options i pass in
    expandMember: e => onExpandOrCollapseMember(e,true),
    collapseMember: e => onExpandOrCollapseMember(e, false),

Rogue Legacy Review
Two full months it's been since I've delivered my irrelevant opinions to you via the medium of a winding online diatribe. It's not been for lack of video game related happenings in my life, either. Things have kept happening. They never stop keep happening no matter how much I will them to do otherwise. It's just that for whatever reason in the midst of all these happenings I haven't acquired sufficient motivation to write about any of them. But now I have.
So while I will probably have an "explanation" for my absence before long as per my typical operating procedure, in the meantime let's talk about Rogue Legacy.
You return to this title screen every time you die. So a lot. (Don't worry, there's a catch).
Rogue Legacy is a game by indie company Cellar Door Games which came out some months ago on June 27th, 2013. I had some passing interest in the title when it was released but whatever amount I had wasn't enough to pry me away from whatever game or life events engaged my attention at the time; nor enough to pry my wallet open to purchase the game on digital download service Steam. Recently, however, the popular Let's Play channel Game Grumps tackled the game (warning: strong language). Seeing it again kept it fresh in my mind last Friday when boredom and leftover money in my Steam wallet joined forces to take the form of an impulse buy. This impulse buy was either fantastic or catastrophic, depending on whether we're measuring it in terms of fun or productivity.
So you're saying the game is boring but makes you super productive?
I love Rogue Legacy. For a multitude of reasons that I'll go into in a minute, the game struck a chord with me that overcomes what few flaws the game has (again, I'll get there later) and imbued it with enjoyably addictive properties. After obtaining it Friday night, it occupied the majority of my weekend, wring about 20 hours of playtime out of me by the time I slept Sunday night. I enjoyed it to the excuse of looking up excuses to play it more and will probably shoot for getting all the achievements, which I historically ignore in every game where I'm not looking for reasons to play (so in every other game but a few). In fact, I'm so tempted just talking about it that I'm going to go play it right now and finish this review later.
So I'm back some hours later, having actually just beaten the game (well, for the first time anyway). In order to establish what makes this game so appealing, I should probably get to telling you what it is, already. Rogue Legacy is a game in the (fittingly enough), Roguelike genre. So what's a Roguelike game? Well, way back in 1980 a video game called Rogue was made wherein you had to make it to the end of a dungeon. The twist to the game was that the dungeons were randomly generated and changed each time you played the game. This led to all subsequent games that used similar techniques of randomly generated rooms to be classified under the subgenre of Roguelikes.
Particularly in the case of older games like the original Rogue here, they tended to play a lot better than they looked.
So basically Rogue Legacy is a game that has randomly generated rooms. What makes the game unique is the style of gameplay that it features. Most Roguelikes feature RPG elements like stats, equipment and/or magic, and Rogue Legacy is no exception. But whereas most Roguelike games are top down dungeon crawlers of some type or another, Rogue Legacy is the only I know of that is a Roguelike platformer, dodging and jumping from room to room as you hack your way through enemies.
The other thing that makes Rogue Legacy unique is the second half of its title. Roguelike games are infamous for being insanely difficult, often leading to permanent death when your character dies. And again, Rogue Legacy is no exception to this. But in Rogue Legacy every time your character dies, the next character you start is the son/daughter of your previous character. They get to keep all the equipment and upgrades of the previous character, but they may have a new character class, new randomized traits (things like colorblindness or gigantism), and finally any gold from the last run that isn't spent is lost when the next generation enters the castle.
Every time you choose a new heir, you get 3 choices with randomized classes, traits and spells, as seen here.
The persistent progress you make in the game is, for me, a godsend. I like the progression you see in RPGs in general, yet hate losing large amounts of progress in a game, as I mentioned in my article on difficulty. Rogue Legacy isn't like, say, Super Meat Boy, where death is frequent but the game simply throws you seconds away from your failures. You may have explored a good deal of the castle before you died, and of course this is somewhat disappointing. But you don't have to survive very long before you make enough gold to buy an upgrade, at which point your death doesn't feel like a failure so much as a setback in the midst of continual progress.
When you die in a regular game you're supposedly making progress through better mastery of the challenges before you, but that's a very vague advancement that's hard to measure and, in some cases where you break down in extended play, not even true. Whereas Rogue Legacy, though it still requires player skills to improve, provides you with very concrete incentives to keep playing in the form of its impressively vast array of permanent upgrades. The randomization of the castle also makes it so that when you fail you never have to go through the same sequence over and over again, alleviating the boredom through repetition that you see in most games with difficulty problems.
Whether or not you like Rogue Legacy as much as I do (and in fairness, you probably won't like it quite as much as me) depends on how much you like its base components. Do you like hardcore 2D platformers? What about fantasy action RPGs? Games where you have to fail a lot in order to ultimately succeed? I didn't mind the difficulty due to the reasons mentioned above concerning how failure in the game works. However, I must admit (and I'm not trying to brag here) that I'm fairly well-versed in these type of difficult platformers, and that combined with my love of the genre in question may have given me above average tolerance for it. The game has a lot of bullet-hell style gameplay where fast enemies and projectiles are flying everywhere at a rate you can barely follow. So be warned about that.
For example, does this seem to you like fun or a hellish doom from which you may never escape?
While we're on the subject of flaws, Rogue Legacy does have a few things about it that I didn't like much. But before we get into those and spoil the mood, I still have the impulse to play the game again. Yes I know I've beaten the game but there's a New Game + Mode. Of course there's a New Game + Mode. I mean, I really should finish this review but it's not like any of you would even notice if I stopped writing right now. Well…you wouldn't had I not just told you. Shit.
…did you know there's a New Game + 2 mode? Well there is, and I totally just beat the game a second time and unlocked it. Enemies usually have two higher tier versions that show up in later areas of the castle but the game upgrades all enemies by one tier when you use New Game +. So now all the enemies in the castle are high level, maximum tier death machines that are constantly shooting streams of death in every direction. This segues nicely into the first and most prominent of Rogue Legacy's flaws, that of difficulty.
Because this image even exists in the first place, you can probably imagine the games problem isn't being too easy.
Rogue Legacy is a very difficult game, and even though I earlier stated that it does things to mitigate this the random nature of the game does create some scenarios that are, if not unwinnable, than at least ridiculously stacked against you and therefore somewhat reliant on luck. Now, I hate relying on luck in video games, as I've mentioned in the past. In the earlier iterations of the castle before New Game + I could more or less completely erase the effects of luck if I was skilled enough. I often wasn't, but it was usually at least clear that I could.
However, at maximum tier so much of the screen real estate is consumed by projectiles that there's little I can do to stay alive. Sometimes a good deal of those projectiles are even coming from off screen. Now, to the games credit, it gives you indicators on the edges of your screen when projectiles from outside your field of few are in play, but when there are dozens at once being able to see an approximate indicator simply isn't enough to judge where exactly things will land. I suppose it's expecting a lot of a game to be well-balanced into its second bonus mode, but a flaw is still a flaw and I think the random generation can break down particularly in these later iterations, leaving you in scenarios that there's not much you can do with. But of course, also to the games credit, it's taking a lot to wear down my continual desire to keep trying and improving. In fact…
Damnit, I really need to stop doing that. So the game is often difficult in a way that feels cheap, despite the games efforts otherwise. This ties into the other complaint I can think of for the game, the boss battles. There are 4 major bosses, one for each sub-area of the castle, and then one final encounter. Not counting the final boss, all 4 of the bosses are simply upsized palette swaps of regular types of enemies. They all do something slightly different from their regular enemies types, but it's usually just firing more bullets or spawning lots of minions. Sometimes there are also environmental hazards like ricocheting spike balls in the boss room, but really this type of thing just feels like something the developers threw in at the last minute due to a boss fight not being hard enough.
See, he's way bigger on the left. Totes a boss now, guys.
Regular rooms are often more difficult than boss battles. And unlike everything else in the game, boss battles aren't at all random. The 4 bosses are always the same, and in fact you can only fight them once each until you beat the game. Generations of training, exploring, and surviving as long as you can are all built towards achieving a one-time victory against a boss. The fights are hard enough, sure, but in the same way harder normal enemies are, by upping their stats, size, and number of projectiles. It's good enough I suppose, but the fights themselves don't feel unique like you'd expect a big climax to. They're reliance on large number of projectiles and spawning minions also makes them feel as luck based as the rest of the game, which I'm not a fan of.
Moving away from those few flaws, it's worth mentioning that both the visual and audio aspects of the game are quite good. Visually speaking, the game is colorful and stylish, with plenty of variety between the different areas and enemies of the game. In terms of audio, the sounds are properly punch and the gold sounds satisfyingly jingly, giving a nice rewarding feeling when you hit things and money pours out. And of course, as per usual, I have to give a little aside to the music.
Rogue Legacy has music that you hear over and over again due to the nature of the game, and it's to the games credit that I never got bored of it. It's not because the soundtrack is absent or ambient, either, as the tunes can get fairly catchy at times. A few of my favorites from the soundtrack are as follows:
It feels appropriate to start with the music you'll hear the most, the theme to the first area of the castle. The music in Rogue Legacy seems to combine retro chiptunes, heavy percussion and guitar, among other things. All are present and sound excellent here.
Just because I was a bit disappointed by the bosses doesn't mean their theme songs share the same fate. All of the boss songs (hell, pretty much all songs period) in Rogue Legacy are pretty good, but the third boss probably holds my favorite, a short and sweet mix of fast paced chiptunes and heavy rock.
And lest you think all the music in the game is harsh and heavy, here's the less rockin' but still good music that plays upon selecting a new heir. Expect to hear this a lot too.
The music to the games third area, Narwhal, is a candidate for my favorite song in the game. The echoing emptiness alternating with heavy guitar and percussion got me particularly pumped for the area where the game really started to get difficult for me.
Beyond the few flaws I mentioned earlier, really the only complaint I can make about the game is the usual complimentary one, that I want more of it. Yes I know the game is technically infinite, but I think we all know what I'm talking about. More enemy types, more areas to explore, more equipment to find, more bosses presented in more creative ways. More variety, to sum it up. This is, of course, a complaint you can make about any game, which is why I call it a complaint instead of a flaw. There's not something wrong with Rogue Legacy because I want more of it, and indeed it's quite the opposite.
Rogue Legacy is a wonderful game that was well worth its money for the amount of fun I got out of it, and if you're not scared away by a challenge than I have a feeling it'll garner a similar reaction from you. As of the weekend I post this, it's currently 40% off of its normally $15 price tag on Steam (unfortunately the week after I bought it). So if you're interested in trying it out, there's no time like the present. If I keep finding games this fun and interesting then maybe it won't be another two months until the next update. Er…make that two months and a few days. All that Rogue Legacy was slowing down my Rogue Legacy review.

He told me to kill myself – Chantelle.
Chantelle Petite became a public figure after opening up about developing a vaginal fistula due to the gross negligence of the hospital where she delivered her daughter 'Booboo'.
After sharing her story, fans came together to raise 2 Million shillings that would help her undergo a number of surgeries to correct the situation.
Booboo's mum has now come out to expose her baby daddy and painted him as a pathological liar, cheater and cruel.
"My baby daddy has been talking trash about me on the web and I'm fed up. He is a pathological liar who has hurt so many women over the years. I think it's time to expose him because I'm tired of the mind games he plays," read her post.
"He told me countless times he was single and there was no one in his life. He made believe that I'm the love of his life I believed him. I loved him dearly with all my heart," she confessed. Chantelle came to find out later that the guy was married. The mum-of-one disclosed that her baby daddy was so cruel that he kissed a lady right in front of her while she was pregnant.
In addition, he encouraged her to kill herself when she was going through a depressive episode and even recorded the whole incident which he used to blackmail her later.
Following Chantelle's confession, people have turned their attention to actor Ephy saint who is said to be the baby daddy.
In response to Chantelle's post and all the drama surrounding him, Ephy claimed that he has battled depression then accused Chantelle of clout chasing.
"I am not a nice person neither do I try to be, I don't care much what society thinks I already know they don't like me….I am on a different path now. A path of healing myself if I block you please agree to f*ck off, If we didn't talk now more there is a reason. If I owe you…soon you will get paid. I ever hurt you imagine I am sorry and I pray nothing but good things come your way," wrote Ephy saint in part.
In another post, he said that he is a present husband and has been there for his first daughter Azahria who he says saved his life. He accused Chantelle of clout chasing yet he has changed more diapers than most men double his age.
"Name dropping is a way of clout chasing so I choose not to name drop no one, I raise my daughter alone of course with help but I have changed more diapers than most men double my age. I am the best dad ever but a sh*t husband I have been told, I own no one and no one owns me, we complement each other after having whole life separate. Those who know me matter and those who don't know me well don't matter," he posted.

You will always have a bunch of options available to escape into the hills of Shimla, foothills of Pathankot, religious temples of Rishikesh and many more. Given below are the most favored weekend getaways from Panchkula for you to explore. Let us take you on a ride:
Shimla from Panchkula
(117 kms)
Shimla, the beautiful hill station is the capital of Himachal Pradesh. This place which is variously known as 'The Summer Refuge' and 'Queen of Hill Stations' is perched at an elevation of 2200 m above mean sea level. The present Shimla District was formed in the year 1971. This breathtaking hill station offers various tourist attractions. Tourists can enjoy picturesque views of the mountain ranges from the Ridge, a huge open area connected to the Lakkar Bazaar and the Scandal Point. The Jakhu Temple is built in the memory of Lord Hanuman and is situated at an altitude of 8040 ft above sea level.
Shimla is well connected by all the major modes of transportation, that is air, road and rail. The Jubbarhatti Airport is the closest airport to the hill town. Tourists can also reach the destination from the Kalka Railway Station while riding on the toy train. Besides, regular buses from major neighbouring cities are available to Shimla.
The winter season is the best time if you want to enjoy skiing and Ice Skating, whereas summers are considered ideal if you want to savor sightseeing and trekking.
Pathankot from Panchkula
Pathankot is one of the largest cities in the state of Punjab in terms of territorial area, which serves as the headquarters of the district of Pathankot. Rested at the foothills of Kangra and Dalhousie, this city is the gateway to the northern wing of Himalayan mountain range and to multiple hill towns. However, withing the city too,there are several sights in and around the city that are part of itineraries of Pathankot tourism, such as the Nurpur Fort that was constructed by the Pathania Rajputs more than 910 years ago.
Apart from this, the beautiful Shahpurkandi Fort, Shiva Temple Kathgarh and Jugial Township are particularly popular among tourists. Jwalaji and Chintpurni are popular religious weekend getaways that tourists can visit during their Pathankot holidays.
Pathankot is well connected to several parts of the country by trains and buses that operate at regular intervals. There are two railway stations within Pathankot, namely Pathankot and Chakki Bank, with the latter being just 3.5 km away from the city. The Inter State Bus Terminal is located near the railway station and has regular buses that connect Pathankot to prominent cities like Shimla, New Delhi and Chandigarh tricity. Tourists can opt to travel to Pathankot by either state transport or private buses, depending upon their preference and liking.
Situated in the northern part of India, Pathankot experiences blazing summers, humid and wet monsoons and freezing cold winters cahracterstic of the region. Hence, October and November are considered to be ideal for Pathankot tourism as the weather is pleasant.
Rishikesh from Panchkula
Rishikesh, also known as Devbhoomi, is a highly revered pilgrimage centre of Hindus lying in the district of Dehradun. Located on the banks of the highly auspicious River Ganga, this place holds great religious importance among the Hindu community and pilgrims. Every year, crowds of tourists from all over the country pay a visit to this place to explore religious sites, view the mighty Himalayas and take a holy dip into the River Ganga. Located at the foothills of the Himalayas, Rishikesh is the home of several Hindu deities.
Apart from pilgrims, the destination attracts adventure enthusiasts too. As the city is situated amid mountains, it is well suited to enjoy a breathtaking trekking ride. Besides, the place also offers another popular adventurous sport called river rafting. Travellers can enjoy this water adventure under the expert guidance of professionals. River cross is also an interesting adventure sport that travellers can enjoy during their visit to Rishikesh. In this sport, people are required to cross the river while walking on a rope.
To reach Rishikesh by air, travellers can take flights to and from Jolly Grant Airport of Dehradun, located at a distance of 16 km. Rishikesh has its own railway station which is well connected to important Indian cities.
Weather remains pleasant in Rishikesh for most of the year. However, tourists are mostly advised not to visit this place in the month of May as the temperature gets quite high during this time of the year.
One of the most prosperous cities in the state of Punjab in northwest India, Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural hub of the Sikh community. Christened after the holy tank of Amrit Sarovar, the city of Amritsar was founded in late 16th century A D by the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das Ji. His successor Guru Arjan Dev Ji later developed the city into a sprawling and prosperous town and in 1602, completed the construction of the magnificent temple, the Golden Temple, that was started by Guru Ram Das Ji.
Besides being a major pilgrimage centre for Sikhs, Amritsar is a also historically significant in the sense that it is a constant reminder of one of the most infamous incidents that took place during India's struggle for freedom, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 .Jallianwala Bagh stands erected in the memory of all those victims of british brutality. The army post at the borderline of India and Pakistan, known as Wagah Border, is highly popularised and liked by travellers visiting Amritsar for its ceremonial parade every evening.
Moreover, there are several temples in the city that are particularly popular among the Hindu devotees, such as Durgiana Temple, Mandir Mata Lal Devi, ISKCON Temple, Hanuman mandir and Sri Ram Tirath Temple.
An important and pious city in the state of Punjab, Amritsar is easily accessible from all major parts of India and also abroad thanks to well connected air, rail and road routes. Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport is the international airport of Amritsar while the railway network connects the city to almost all major cities in India via Amritsar Railway Station. The strategic position of Amritsar on the GrandTrunk Road (NH-1) makes it an easily accessible destination via buses and taxis as well.
The climate of Amritsar is one which is typically experienced in the north-western part of India, with three major seasons, summer, monsoon and winter. Although all the seasons are favourable for a visit to the place, the ideal season for Amritsar tourism starts from the month of October and lasts till March.

The most common form of moxibustion practised in the west is indirect moxabustion. Traditionally, the practitioner burns Moxa (mugwort herb) against the skin to treat illness and pain. In Indirect moxibustion, the moxa is formed into a cigar shape and burned an inch above a specific location on the body. The practitioner may also place burning moxa at the end of an acupuncture needle. Heat is transferred from the needle to the desired area.
In direct moxabustion the moxa is formed into a small cone and burned directly on the skin, creating intense heat and often blistering. This intense heat causes an elevation in blood cells stimulating the immune system and reducing pain and inflammation. This method is seldom used in Western acupuncture clinics, as it may cause a burn.
Moxibustion is used to treat a variety of disorders including stress, tension, anxiety, vertigo, arthritis, menopause symptoms, nerve inflammation and neurological disorders.
Moxibustion is not considered safe for those with diabetes, and pregnant women should consult their physician if considering this therapy.
Moxibustion is practised by registered acupuncturists and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

UBC and SFU to save Videomatica's $1.7-million film collection
by Craig Takeuchi on January 16th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Yes, Virginia, there is a happy ending for Videomatica's film collection.
Last year, Vancouver cinephiles were saddened by the announcement in May about the much-beloved Kitsilano video rental store's closure.
Although the rental store shut down on October 30, the sales department managed to continue on by moving across the street into Zulu Records in November.
However, concern was raised about what would happen to the store's extensive collection, which comprises more than 35,000 DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and VHS tapes, and is valued at $1.7 million. A fundraising campaign was launched in September to save the collection, which includes one of Vancouver's most comprehensive selections of rare, esoteric, classic, Canadian, art house, gay and lesbian, and cult titles.
On Monday (January 16), the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University announced that they will house and preserve the collection.
UBC purchased 4,151 VHS titles, plus DVDs and Blu-ray discs, from Videomatica for a total of $200,000 plus HST. Videomatica donated 27,957 DVDs, 4,000 VHS titles, and 900 foreign film Blu-ray discs (from over 75 countries) worth a total of $1,451,850. This part of the collection will be housed at UBC Library, with over 5,000 duplicates available at UBC's Department of Theatre and Film. The remainder of the collection, which includes about 2,800 documentaries, was purchased by and gifted to SFU.
Both UBC and SFU's collection will become available for borrowing in 2013. The UBC collection will be developed over the next 18 months for students, staff, faculty, and community borrowers. (The general public would need to acquire a community borrower card in order to borrow material.)
In a phone interview, Videomatica co-owner Graham X Peat credited community leader, academic, and philanthropist Yosef Wosk for not only donating but helping in efforts to save the collection. "He, right away, said, 'I will help you find the right solution for this,' " Peat said. "He had very strong ties with SFU, for whom he worked, and also he's a UBC grad...so there's enough connection there. And he kindly made sure we got in touch with all the right parties and arranged lots of meetings and was extremely helpful."
Peat added that Wosk helped to keep the campaign going. "We were floundering a bit because we'd gone to one particular institution and were getting nowhere with our first idea about donating it and it was getting way too complicated, so he came along at a really good time."
Peat said that he wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to all the customers and supporters who helped out. "There's two great messages they gave us: 'We'd like your collection to stay together' and 'Thank you for all the great things you gave us over the years.' They said really great things and we were really encouraged by that."
Videomatica began with only 400 titles when it was launched in 1983 by former UBC students Brian Bosworth and Peat. The store, which was located at 1855 West 4th Avenue, joined a wave of DVD rental store closures last year, including Happy Bats, Independent Flixx, and Blockbuster Video, as well as a few movie theatres.
Peat added that this collection will help to fill in the gap between what has been available on cassettes or discs and what is currently online. "People assume everything's available online right now and it's not true yet. So I think this will not only help the public not lose all of that but it will certainly make a really good contribution to the film department, and...they seem so enthused about the teaching aspects of it too so we were really encouraged by that tremendously. And that's why we tried to find a solution that would involve both of them [both universities] because they both had wonderful proposals and what they would do with it and how they'd have public access and preservation and we said, 'Great! Let's find a solution where we can all participate.' And that was the hardest part, but the best."

I was a regular Videomatica renter and very sad to see it go.
Does anyone know if UBC will make the collection available for rent to the general public or do you have to be a student?
The general public needs to obtain a community borrower card to take out material. I've added information to the article about it. I am waiting for information from SFU to confirm what procedure they may require.
VideoFanPeter
35,000 titles x $50 each = $1,750,000???
Not even an episode of Pawn Stars or Storage Wars would value something that agressively.
Thumbs up to SFU & UBC, believe you me we really, really need to value quality films that are outside of the mainstream, sort of like valuing specialty brewed fair trade coffee as opposed to chain store (store brand)instant coffee.

Washington 'Vehemently' Condemns Israel Attack
The United States "vehemently" denounced a "horrific" attack that left three people dead in central Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a press statement Thursday.
"This was a horrific attack targeting innocent men and women, and was particularly heinous coming as Israel celebrated its Independence Day," Blinken said.
"We remain in close contact with our Israeli friends and partners and stand firmly with them in the face of this attack."
Three people were left dead and several injured in an attack in Elad, a suburb of Tel Aviv that is the home of some 50,000 people, many of them ultra-orthodox Jews.
Police said that a manhunt using helicopters and roadblocks had been launched, with a larger number of officers and army units pursuing "one or two terrorists."
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan also said Thursday the United States was "appalled" by the attack.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the victims' families and wish a full recovery for the injured," he tweeted.
"As always, we stand with Israel as it confronts this terrorist threat."
Last month, Blinken spoke with both Israeli and Palestinian authorities, calling on them to "end the cycle of violence" after sharp escalation in Jerusalem's Israeli-annexed Old City at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
The mosque is one of the holiest sites in Islam and also the holiest site in Judaism, in which it is called the Temple Mount.

For start-ups, a potential make-or-break decision is what to call your company. A dud name can be a dead weight around your neck, but pick something snappy or memorable and everything else can fall into place. By LUCINDA SCHMIDT.
It's one of the most important decisions your new business will make: what to call itself. In days gone by, it was pretty straightforward – most businesses were named after their founders.
Nowadays, however, naming experts recommend against using your own name as your corporate identity. For a start, unless you have a cool surname like Crumpler, it's a bit old-fashioned. Second, if things do go pear-shaped, you may not want the family name dragged through the mud every time the company is mentioned.
And, as a recent court case showed, using your own name can cause problems if you sell your company and want to start another using your own name again.
The case, in which art dealer Chris Deutscher was sued by the new owners of Deutscher-Menzies after he set up another art auction house called Deutscher Hackett, was ultimately decided in Chris Deutscher's favour. He was allowed to use his name again – but he had to go to court to do it.
So if you're not going to use your own name, what do you do? How do you come up with a name that is memorable, easy to spell and pronounce and doesn't mean "sod off" in another language?
Do you go for something descriptive (Toys "R" Us), made up (Kodak) or slightly whacky (Yahoo)?
Naming expert Deepika Stojanovic, from Sydney company NameBrains, says some of the things to consider are what your competitors are called (there may be a good reason why all of them have a certain type of name – or you may want to make sure you are completely different); your position in the market (are you appealing to innovators or to mums and dads in the suburbs?); and what you want your name to do (shock, surprise, sit happily in the background?).
The name has to sound right, but it also has to look right. "How does it look when it's written down, is it visually difficult to read?" Stojanovic asks.
She says the naming process can be frustrating, because so many names are already taken and because various company stakeholders will probably have different opinions.
Remember to think big. In a global economy, it's not enough to come up with something that sounds great in English. If there's any chance you may be exporting products or services to non-English speaking countries, you need to think about what your name means there too.
Once you've thought of your dream name – with or without expert help – there's another crucial step. Has someone else already got it?
Trademark attorney Richard Neubauer, of Trademark Works, says a good place to start checking is Google. Follow up with checks of the telephone directories, the Australian Business Register, the domain name registers, trademark registrations, company name registrations and business name registrations in your state (for example, www.business.vic.gov.au).
If it is likely that you will be exporting, you may need to extend your checking to some other countries to avoid problems down the track (international trademark databases are listed here).
Assuming your dream name is available, get straight on to registering it. There's not much point getting company letterhead and signage prepared and a website ready for launch only to find that someone else has beaten you to it.
Neubauer says many people do not understand the difference between business name, company name, domain name and trademark registrations.
His advice is that if you are trading under a name that is not your own name or your company's name, you must by law register a business name in every state from which the business operates. But registering the name does nothing except identify who the owner of the business is and prevent someone else registering exactly the same name in your state – it doesn't mean you "own" the name.
Registration of the company name with ASIC is also a legal formality that is required when you operate your business as part of a corporate structure. Registration will prevent anyone around Australia registering exactly the same company or business name – but, again, it doesn't mean you own the name.
Registration of the domain name gives you the right to that site address on the internet, usually for two years. It's like hiring an address – you don't own it. Domain names ending with .com.au must be derived from the business or company name or from a registered trade mark.
The only registration that gives you a property right – allowing you to prevent others using the same or a similar name – is a trademark. "The trademark owner rules, basically," says Neubauer.
You are more likely to be able to register your company/business name as a trademark if it is inventive (a made-up word), not descriptive (such as Tasty Food), not a geographical name (such as Yarra or Bondi), and not a surname.
Trademark Works charges $500 to register a trademark for 10 years, plus there are government fees of $430. If there's a good chance you'll be selling overseas, you might want to register your trademark in a couple of other countries too ($1000 plus government fees).
Neubauer says a popular combination for his clients is an Australian, USA and British trademark registration, which costs about $4500 in total.
So now you've got a great name and you've registered it as a business name, company name, domain address and trademark. You can relax, right? Wrong.
Neubauer warns that you must be vigilant to ensure that no one else is using your name. Do regular searches such as typing your name into Google, looking up the phone directories, and searching the business and trademark registers.
"If you let someone else use your name for a while, they build up a reputation in that name for themselves," Neubauer says.
Your own name (although contractions can work, such as Adidas, from German athlete founder Adolph "Adi" Dassler).
Trendy names (remember all the .com endings?).
Names that are rude in other languages.
Names that tie you to one country (America On Line, National Australia Bank).
Names that are hard to pronounce or spell.
Whether you want to be near the top of alphabetical lists.
Using an existing word that has nothing to do with your business (Apple, Virgin).
Making up a word (Coca-Cola).
Foreign words (Reebok, an African antelope).
Clever contractions (Vodafone, from voice, date, telephone).

Q: Python remove separating spaces You may or may not have heard of Willie, the Python IRC bot.
I have a trigger.group(2) object:
'J O I N   : # S t a f f'

How do I make this become:
'JOIN :#Staff'

Edit:
Basically I want to remove the spaces between the characters without removing the "real" spaces, between N :. Note that the command could be anything with any number of arguments: PRIVMSG, OPER, etc.

A: Since you have alternating spaces and non-spaces, try taking every second character:
s = s[::2]

Example:
>>> 'J O I N   : # S t a f f'[::2]
'JOIN :#Staff'

A: >>> import re
>>> text = 'J O I N   : # S t a f f'
>>> re.sub(r'(?<=\S)\s|\s(?=\S)', '', text)
'JOIN :#Staff'

A: def rmspace_separate(string, spacelimiter=' '*2):
    return ' '.join(s.replace(' ', '') for s in s.split(spacelimiter))

would work. change spacelimiter to suit your needs.
