Boy who got new heart inspires tribe to boost organ donation
Greyson Parisien's time on earth was short. But the boy with dark-rimmed eyeglasses who was enchanted by the music in "Frozen," the sound of ripping paper and his dad playing the guitar is having an outsized impact on his tribal community in the far reaches of North Dakota.
His journey to correct a heart defect led the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians to add an organ donation box to tribal IDs, which it unveiled during a November ceremony.
The rate of organ donations among Native Americans is much lower than other ethnic groups. For some tribes, cultural beliefs are a factor. In rural communities, time, distance and spotty internet access can hinder the process.

"You don't think about donation and how many people are not donors," said Greyson's grandmother, Joan Azure. "I was thinking, 'There has to be more donors.' When you're going through this personally, you don't want someone to die but you also want your child to live."
Fewer than 1% of the 100,000 people nationwide waiting for organ transplants are Native Americans, who make up nearly 3% of the U.S. population.
The figures are higher in some states, including New Mexico where 1 in 5 people on the waiting list are Native American. In South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota, nearly 5% of patients awaiting an organ donation are Native American.
Greyson had surgery at 5 months to correct a heart defect, and then he needed an external device to pump blood through his small body. A heart transplant allowed him to leave the hospital after a year and return to the Turtle Mountain reservation, headquartered in Belcourt, North Dakota.
Suddenly, pneumonia ended his life in September 2019. He was 21 months old.
Greyson's story and spirit live on in parades, powwows and conversations in the community. Azure promotes organ donation during congenital heart week and with trivia games.
Tribal members knew him well through updates posted on social media.

In one, Greyson's mother, Reeanne Parisien, asked the community to choose Greyson's eyeglasses. The overwhelming vote was the dark-rimmed, boxy ones that he wore with bow ties and khakis, his hair combed in a mohawk. When he died, the community sought understanding and assurance that it wasn't because of his new heart.
His tribe passed a resolution this year in honor of Greyson. During a November event at the tribal college, it encouraged people to check the new organ donor box on tribal IDs and waived the $10 fee.
"Today is a monumental day that people will remember, especially Native nations, for decades to come," tribal Chairman Jamie Azure said, standing next to Grayson's photo that was taken after he got a new heart — smiling with arms stretched to the sky.
The tribe believes it could be the first of the 574 federally recognized Native American nations to designate a spot on tribal IDs for organ donors.
Susan Mau Larson, the chief strategy officer for LifeSource, part of a network of nearly 60 organ procurement organizations, said she hopes other tribes follow suit. Several are working with tribal communities to raise awareness of organ donation and transplant.
Those conversations can be tough, especially when personal or traditional beliefs don't align with western medicine. They happen in tribal communities, at events and in hospital rooms as someone nears the end of their life. And there are guidelines: Identify the decision maker in a family. Tell a story, don't explain the process. Give the family time to discuss. Be comfortable with silence. And comfort families, regardless of the decision.
In the Southwest, Darryl Madalena encourages tribal members to think about becoming organ donors by making a connection between kidney disease — which afflicts Native Americans at higher rates than the U.S. population — and organ donation and receipt.
He talks about tribes' increasing reliance on western medicine and asks, hypothetically, if members would be prevented from journeying on if they had a pacemaker or an artificial hip. If not, why not donate or receive an organ?
How much are holiday lights costing you?
"So much of westernized medicine is in the fabric of our communities, our lives, our culture," said Madalena, the Native American liaison for New Mexico Donor Services. "If you pull one string, that may be very detrimental to the health of Natives."
Madalena's work is partly driven by the memory of his partner, Mylia Phouamkha, a Hopi woman who died within a week of being hospitalized with liver problems in 2019, without enough time to seriously consider a transplant.
She and Madalena had a son together, Micca, who was two years old at the time.
"If your heart tells you and you have it within yourself to have a transplant if you need it …I would say yes, do it," said her father, Myron Ami, as Micca sat on his lap.
Madalena has faced criticism for mentioning death, which can be a taboo topic. His community of Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico believes that people enter this world physically and spiritually whole, and that they should leave the same way.
"That's what we're taught, that's what the beliefs still are," he said.
The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians doesn't hold the same beliefs, Joan Azure said. About 40% of people in Rollette County where the tribe is based have signed up to become organ donors, compared to 65% overall in North Dakota.
Education, means or opportunity are big factors, said Mau Larson. Simply getting a driver's license means traveling 80 miles (130 kilometers) from the Turtle Mountain reservation. But tribal IDs are renewed every two years, giving tribal members a more frequent opportunity to choose organ donation.
Studies show that organ recipients are best matched with donors of similar genetic makeup, Mau Larson said. Kidneys are especially needed in Native American communities, where one-quarter of the population is diabetic, she said.
Greyson and his family spent much of his life in Rochester, Minnesota, for his medical care, hundreds of miles from the rolling hills and lakes of the Turtle Mountain reservation. His heart came from a girl named Coralynn, whose picture on a puzzle piece was interlocked with Greyson's on a parade float banner reading "Not all Heroes Wear Capes!"
After Greyson died, his family asked a Turtle Mountain elder to to bestow a traditional name upon him, through their creator. The elder was in a sweat lodge praying when it came to him: "Waasizo Gichi Anong Ningaabii' Anong," or "Shining Big Star in the West," said Joan Azure.
"Even in his worst moments, his smile shined brightly, his presence brought happiness and light to everyone he came into contact with," she said. "And he provided guidance to many with that bright shining light through his bravery and strength."

KTVI / KPLR EEO Report

Do what?!? Either he was kidding or he was a true city-slicker. Turns out after being questioned that he really didn't know the difference in regard to whether it was a male or female that gave milk! The one who had won the wager laughed and said, "If I had known you didn't know the difference I would have brought a bull in here for you to milk." That would have been a sight to see! When it comes to milking a cow, it pays to know the difference between a dairy cow and a bull! It wouldn't be wise to try and milk an ornery ol' bull. The consequence might not turn out too well!
I got to thinking, as one goes through life it pays to know the difference when it comes to a variety of matters. Let me mention a few, and I am sure you can think of many more.
It pays to know the difference between what is truly valuable and what is not. Often we think the truly valuable is found in material possessions: a new car, fine house, wearing name-brand clothes, a bank account that is running over, having the latest smart-phone and the list goes on. Those "things" are all well and good, but they can all be lost at the snap of a finger. What is truly valuable is not found in "things" but are found in the richness of relationships, love, caring, family, faith, health and the precious gift of life we are granted each day by the Lord's grace. When all the glitter of "things" is stripped away from us or the "c" word becomes part our vocabularies, then we quickly learn the difference between what is valuable and what is not.
It pays to know the difference between what is morally right and wrong. We are living in a day when many don't seem to know the difference. They don't know the difference because they have neglected the Manual that tells us the difference. The Bible is our eternal guide that contains within its inspired pages directions on how best to live morally so our lives will not end up being derailed because of morally bad choices. It is when we "do according to all that is written therein" that we "have good success" in life (Joshua 1:8).
It pays to know the difference between telling the truth and lying. Seems in our society today the line between telling the truth and lying has been blurred. Our nation's leaders lie without giving it a second thought, their character to a great extent being a reflection of society. Lies are told because the person telling them has no core values. As a lad growing up my father, by placing his hand on a certain part of my anatomy, had a way of helping me remember there is a difference between telling the truth and lying and the consequences that occurs when an untruth is mouthed! Telling the truth keeps us from having to remember the lie we told and spare us from later grief.
It pays to know the difference between yes and no. Have we forgotten the power of those two words? They can be used negatively or positively. When we say "yes" to the good and "no" to the bad we can expect good consequences to result. However, if we say "yes" to the bad and "no" to the good then consequences of regret will be our companion.
It pays to know the difference between when to let go and when to hold on. We need wisdom to know the difference in many areas of our lives. Such wisdom is needed in regard to relationships, jobs, places of service, habits, attitudes, etc. Knowing when to let go and when to hold on determines continuing to experiencing the Lord's blessings where we are or to walk through a new door of opportunity where awaits us new blessings from Him.
It pays to know the difference between the temporal and the eternal. The minute we are born the march to death begins, yet people seem to think they will never die and will never have to one day stand before the Creator and give an account for their lives. The Bible clearly says, "It is appointed unto man once to die after that the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Wise is the person who realizes that this life is temporal and only in Christ will we be prepared to face the eternity that awaits us all.
It pays to know the difference between a relationship with Christ and religion. There are those who will tell you any religion will do for we are all striving to get to the same "place." There is just one huge problem in adopting such a philosophy, what about the problem of sin? What about our sins that have separated us from a holy God? How is that matter going to be dealt with, for we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)? The religions of man cannot answer the sin question. Thankfully, the Christ of the cross dealt with our sin which separates us from the Holy Father. He came to do for us what we could not do for ourselves. He became our Substitute, living for us the holy life God demands and then incurring on the cross the just payment required for our sin. Only Christianity solves the sin problem. One's eternal destiny depends on knowing the difference between embracing Christ in a faith relationship and the woeful inadequacy of man-made religion.
Yes, there are many matters in life it pays to know the difference. Knowing the difference when confronted with the many issues that demand wisdom and discernment throughout our lives, not only determines our destiny on earth, it will determine our eternal destiny which is of the utmost importance.

Table Mountain camp closed to tighten security after spike in robberies
23 November 2018 5:28 PM
Orange Kloof Tented Camp
camp site
The camp spot at Constantia Nek will be shut over the festive season until the end of March 2019 in order to improve security.
Cape Town's well-known Orange Kloof Tented Camp along Table Mountain has been forced to temporarily close due to increased criminal activity.
The popular hikers' camp spot at Constantia Nek will be shut over the festive season until the end of March 2019 in order to improve security.
All guests who booked accommodation during that period have been notified and refunded.
There have been three incidents in a space of 60 days at the camp spot. The robberies took place at night.
Table Mountain National Park's hospitality services manager, Saskia Marlowe, says guest safety comes first.
They will erect electric fencing and a motorised gate to secure the site before taking any further bookings.
We don't agree that we overreacted.
Saskia Marlowe, Hospitality Services, Film and Events manager at Table Mountain National Park
We've had a number of robberies at the Orange Kloof Tented Camp and people's safety would be our first concern.
It's our responsibility, knowing that we have a problem in the area, to first clean-up the problem before we continue to accept guest bookings.
The crime that is happening at the Orange Kloof Tented Camp is seeping through the from the urban edge.
One of our guests could be injured or possibly lose their lives in an attack and we're not prepared to take that risk.

NEW POWER GENERATION: BRITTANY HART AND JUSTIN CAPUCO OF HUSBAND WIFE
By Paul Keskeys
Given the challenging nature of the profession, it is often said that architects should only practice their art for the love of it — which might explain why so many architect couples decide to work together. The 20th century alone is full of celebrated husband-and-wife partnerships, from the Eameses to the Smithsons to the Venturi Scott Browns. When, in 2013, married partners Brittany Hart and Justin Capuco were looking for a name for their budding Brooklyn-based architecture firm, they decided on the obvious: Husband Wife. "When you start out, you always try to assign an identity to your practice," explains Capuco. "For us it just made sense to highlight this existing dialogue between us as a couple."
Capuco, who was a research scientist in biology before switching to architecture, met Hart a few years earlier while she was working for Greg Lynn in Los Angeles and he was working for New York-based firm Architecture At Large. "We met and really fell for each other — we almost immediately started dreaming and combining our ideas," gushes Capuco. The couple's major breakthrough came in 2015, when they were commissioned to design a stand for luxury-lighting company Roll & Hill at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. "It was probably one of the first projects that we did that really began to showcase our own design language," explains Hart. "We were fortunate to have a client who was willing to take some chances." Many ideas explored at the stand were pursued in Husband Wife's design for Roll & Hill's three-story Mercer Street showroom in New York, which opened in May 2016. "We like that the architecture recedes at times but still defines the space and subversively highlights their product" (which includes pieces by the likes of Lindsey Adelman and Philippe Malouin). Another recent project is the Football Cafe, a local for soccer enthusiasts in Lower Manhattan which opened last fall. And in addition to a complete house renovation in Atlantic Beach, Husband Wife are currently working on a number of residential projects in Manhattan, including one with acclaimed artist and textile designer Madeline Weinrib. "There is so much unclaimed territory in interiors-based architectural design," says Capuco. "Even the slightest design gestures can greatly impact people's experience."
So do the two let themselves be inspired by the work of other husband-and-wife partnerships? "Liz Diller and Ricardo Scofidio are always a great inspiration in terms of the boundaries that they have placed on their work and how they have developed their firm. And we really appreciate the work of Alison and Peter Smithson, and Team X in general." They also cite French architect Robert Mallet Stevens as an inspiration: "He believed that unornamented, strategically-designed spaces could influence the psychological," say the architects.
These theories are currently being thrown into sharp focus with the couple's most challenging project to date: their own home in Brooklyn, which they're getting ready for their new-born twins. "It's much easier working for someone else than having your wife or husband as your client," Hart exclaims in faux exasperation. "We're still working through it."

Dell Unveils New EqualLogic iSCSI Arrays
04 February 2008 in Data Storage, Dell, News
Just a week after closing its $1.4 billion acquisition of EqualLogic, Dell unveiled a new line of EqualLogic iSCSI storage area network (SAN) arrays targeting larger companies that are implementing virtualization technologies to consolidate servers and data storage systems.
Dell executives, speaking in a press conference at EqualLogic's headquarters in Nashua, N.H. where all the company signs were already changed to "Dell," said the new PS5000 Series would be sold through EqualLogic and Dell channel partners and through Dell's direct sales force. EqualLogic had used a channel-only model to sell its products.
Rapidly growing demand for iSCSI storage systems and increased use of virtualization technologies that's accelerating sales of SAN systems were the main reasons Dell acquired EqualLogic, said Brad Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of Dell's business product group. And they are also the main selling points of the new PS5000 line. "iSCSI is clearly the fastest growing segment of the storage industry. And iSCSI just seems to be the ideal storage solution for a virtualized environment," Anderson said.
The move comes as Dell is trying to reassure EqualLogic channel partners that the acquisition won't result in channel conflict and price competition with Dell's direct sales force. Dell has scheduled a "town hall session" for solution providers for Tuesday, Feb. 5, to respond to their concerns.
"Dell has welcomed EqualLogic's channel with open arms," said John Joseph, EqualLogic's marketing vice president who is now Dell's vice president of marketing for Equallogic products. He repeated promises made by Dell executives that EqualLogic channel partners would be grandfathered into Dell's Partner Direct channel program and the company will maintain many elements of the EqualLogic program such as deal registration.
Joseph said making Dell's complete product line available to EqualLogic solution providers would provide them with expanded sales opportunities.
EqualLogic CEO Don Bulens plans to stay with the company for three to six months and will spend most of that time visiting customers and channel partners to help keep them in the Dell fold, Anderson said.
The Dell EqualLogic PS5000 Series, with a starting price of $19,000, includes three models all based on a 16-bay enclosure. The PS5000E features eight or 16 low-cost 7,200-rpm SATA hard drives and one or two controllers. The PS5000X comes configured with up to 16 higher-performance 10,000-rpm SAS hard drives and two controllers. The PS5000XV comes with up to 16 high-performance 15,000-rpm SAS hard drives.
Executives demonstrating the product Monday emphasized the modular scalability of its design, saying PS5000 arrays can be combined to build a SAN with up to 192 Tbytes. They also highlighted the simplicity of the product's management user interface and such capabilities as automatic load balancing.
The PS5000 is positioned above Dell's entry-level iSCSI PowerVault MD3000i Series and Fibre Channel-based AX Series storage products, and below the high-end CX Series that incorporates both Fibre Channel and iSCSI technology.
Dell gets the AX and CX products through its partnership with EMC. Dell executives, facing questions about how the EqualLogic and EMC storage products will be positioned against each other, said the EMC systems are targeted toward customers who have standardized on Fibre Channel. "It's a very complementary product lineup," Anderson said.
Dave Bondo, principal and executive vice president of Preston Data Systems, a Preston, Wash.-based solution provider, said the new PS5000 series shows that Dell is already starting to apply its cost model to storage.
For instance, up until Friday EqualLogic used a 14-bay chassis for its SAS arrays and a 16-bay chassis for its SATA arrays, while all the models of the PS5000 series uses the same chassis, Bondo said.
"It doesn't make a lot of sense from a cost-point to have two different chassis," he said. "Dell's pretty savvy on how to cut costs. Also, Dell cut prices of the existing EqualLogic products about a week ago. It's a big company, and has ways to cut costs."
Preston signed up with Dell about 18 months ago for a one-time deal, but then re-signed with the vendor the day after Dell said it would acquire EqualLogic, Bondo said. "We figured we had two choices," he said. "We could show our rage and frustration and throw a fit, or go figure that Dell and convergence makes sense. So we decided to embrace it."
So far, the Dell relationship has worked for Preston. The solution provider was working on a 100-Tbyte storage deal in Las Vegas using EqualLogic product when the acquisition was announced. Bondo said he told the customer about the pending acquisition, and the customer did the normal thing: it called Dell to check on the pricing.
"Dell told them to keep working with the Dell reseller --there's no better deal," he said.


WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) released a new report that provides the first comprehensive look at state activities and programs to address the growing problem of distracted driving. The report, "Curbing Distracted Driving: 2013 Survey of State Safety Programs," details a host of approaches states are implementing. The survey found that states are aggressively pursuing solutions to distracted driving including: stronger laws, increased data collection, new education programs, public/private partnerships and a growing reliance on new media to spread the message.
State highway safety agencies from every state as well as the District of Columbia, Guam and American Samoa participated in the survey. Key findings are noted below.
Distracted driving has emerged as a priority for state highway safety agencies. Thirty-nine states and D.C. indicated that distracted driving is included in their Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs). These plans reflect the statewide highway safety priorities of state safety-related agencies including Departments of Transportation, Departments of Motor Vehicles, as well as highway safety offices and many other state and local agencies. The detailed plans are only updated every few years; to already have more than half of the states listing distraction as a priority reflects the states' commitment on this serious issue. GHSA expects additional states to include distraction as SHSPs are updated.
States have improved data collection efforts. In 2003, only 17 states collected information about distraction as a factor in crashes. Today, 43 states and D.C. report they collect this crucial data. Good data is a key component of a strong highway safety program, and GHSA is confident every state will include distraction in the near future.
States are educating new drivers about distraction. In 2003, AAA reported that only five states had distinct distracted driving sections in their driver license manuals. Today, 45 states and D.C. have these sections. Additionally, distracted driving is a component of driver education in 18 states and D.C., and it is a question on the driver license test in 17 states and D.C.
States have been passing a variety of distracted driving laws. As of February 2015, Fourty-four states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands now ban text messaging by all drivers. The first state to do this was Washington in 2007, so states have been moving very quickly in this area. Fourteen states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands ban hand-held cell phone use behind the wheel for all drivers. School bus drivers are prohibited from talking behind the wheel in 20 states and D.C.
States are emphasizing public education. Fourty-seven states and D.C. have public information/education campaigns to warn about the dangers of driver distraction. Two states noted they have initiated efforts to provide training or technical assistance to the judiciary on this topic.
Public/private partnerships are increasing. Thirty-five states are working with other state agencies and private employers to address distracted driving. Sixteen states and D.C. have worked with other state agencies or private companies to develop distracted driving policies for their employees.
States are using new technology to educate motorists. Fifteen states and D.C. are using social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to promote anti-distracted driving messages.
The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA)® is a nonprofit association representing the highway safety offices of states, territories, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. GHSA provides leadership and representation for the states and territories to improve traffic safety, influence national policy and enhance program management. Its members are appointed by their Governors to administer federal and state highway safety funds and implement state highway safety plans. Contact GHSA at 202-789-0942 or visit www.ghsa.org .

Several leading studies have shown that using a cell phone while driving increases your chance of getting into a crash by nearly 400%. When dialing a phone number or engaging in intense conversation, you're not watching the road like you should. A "hands-free" apparatus is helpful, but they can't prevent you from becoming involved in a conversation and losing concentration. Your best defense is to pull off the road and stop in a safe place before using your phone.
Stay focused and pay attention on the road!


When it comes to indoor exercising bikes, we tend to go for something durable and full of features to assist our workouts as much as possible. Usually, you won't associate Schwinn with Recumbent bikes. The company is more famous for its outdoor bikes rather than exercising tools.
But recently they ventured into the fitness arena. The result is Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike. It is probably one of the most profound indoor exercise machines that ever saw daylight.
You'll be able to select appropriate one from multiple resistance levels. Also, a comfortable design will put your sensitive areas at rest while working out. We'll look into the features and benefits of the bike in this Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike Review article.
Schwinn 270 is a mid-ranged exercise bike. It has an impressive, sturdy frame which works well to support up to 300lbs. of weight. The frame is warranted for 10 years. Besides that, you have a comfortable cushioned seat. It can be adjusted quickly for your height too. Not to mention there are cushions for lower and upper back. The cushions are tailored to keep back pain at bay.
There is also a fan that can be operated at three different speeds with the push of a button. It is designed to keep the trainers cool when they are exercising.
Well, Schwinn went ahead and improved on Schwinn 230 Recumbent bike in this regard. Schwinn 270 has as many as 25 different resistance levels.
The machine provides a comprehensive workout regime. You can cycle through 10 of the 25 resistance levels with the push of "Quick Keys". That makes changing the levels fairly easy.
The machine is built around digital methods as you can quickly adjust the levels with the push of a switch. You can tailor your experience based on the resistance levels. While lower levels won't break you any sweat, the higher levels are notably difficult to operate with. So, expect an excellent workout session with this mid-ranged machine.
The DualTrack Technology takes a leap and shows you 13 different types of metrics. There is an LCD monitor for clear visibility. With this technology you can monitor RPM, speed, distance travelled, calorie count, time spent exercising, goal progress, etc.
I've to be honest with you, most of the stats won't mean anything for the majority, but still these are useful metrics to measure your progress from multiple perspectives.
In addition to the DualTrack Technology, Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike also features a "Grip Heartbeat Monitor". You'll need to place the hands on the handlebars and exercise.
The mechanism will monitor the heartbeat. If you are into handsfree exercise, use the chest strap to monitor your heart's condition. It's helpful when you are using the machine for therapeutic purposes.
Routine Workout Programming helps you to adjust the exercise bike according to your needs.
You'll have 12 preset profiles ready for use. Also, there will be 9 different slots with customizable heartbeat controls. Furthermore, you can have 4 custom settings that you can manipulate according to your preference. For some quick calorie burning, you can use "Quick Start Program" as well.
With all these workout profiles, comes the "Save" option. You can save all the workout data you've gathered using the DualTrack Technology and save it to the device. Also, you can move it to your iPod or Kindle device using a USB device.
You'll be able to connect to SchwinnConnect website and upload the details. That way, you can customize your workout further and set various objectives for yourselves.
Schwinn 270 – Recumbent Bike comes with a leveler beneath the seat. It helps to adjust the seat in custom positions. Also, you'll find a water holder in place.
If you care for music, there are audio speakers for refreshments. These features ensure that people can take a break in the middle of an intense workout without leaving the bike.
Protection against backache with cushions.
13 different stats per workout session.
Various customizable and preset profiles.
Place for saving and comparing the data.
The cooling fan rotates slowly.
The monitor isn't battery powered.
The display monitor is too bright for my liking.
29 programs,4 user settings and goal tracking.
25 levels of resistance aligned with a high speed.
Q.How easily would a 6 feet 6-inch guy be able to use this machine?
A.I know a person who is 6 feet 3 inches tall. Even at his height the bike had room for adjustment by six inches. So, you'll be perfectly fine I believe.
Q.How is the Bike Operated?
A.It is dependent on a belt mechanism when operating. The belt ties one small and one large flywheel as the parts of the ECR. But the belt is a quality one. So, you won't have the problem of this product failing any time soon.
Unlike many cheap or even mid-ranged bikes, Schwinn 270 Recumbent bike has a sturdy build. The seat is mounted on an aluminum rail which is easy to slide into different positions.
The cranks and the pedals would last for years despite heavy load and the machine is cushioned for comfort. In short, it is perfect equipment for your home gym. I'd go beyond this and say that it is even safe for commercial use. One can buy Schwinn 270 Recumbent bike without giving it a second thought.

Did you know that your mouth was more than just teeth, tongue, and gums? The mouth, or what experts refer to as the oral cavity may be a sign of infection, is a complicated part of our bodies, and one of the most important ones too. The mouth hosts a whole tiny environment, an ecosystem of organs and cells that do their best to keep you healthy.
Not only is the oral cavity the first gateway (basically a door) to your body, it also works as the first defense line in your immune system. The different structures in your mouth play an essential part in keeping you physically active and healthy. Oral health is significant to maintain, sadly, not a lot of people do it correctly. So, if you want to take better care of your oral and general health, you'd first need to learn about what's in your mouth!
If you swirl your tongue around your mouth, you'll find out that the inside of it (apart from the teeth) is covered of the same type of tissue. This is what we call the gingiva, or oral mucosa. Much like our outer skin, the gingiva works as a barrier and protects the inside of our mouths.
Believe it or not, lymph nodes exist inside your mouth. Their role is to protect your body, as they are intimately involved with your immune system. The ones in your mouth drain to larger ones within you. This means that anything that affects your oral lymph nodes will have a more significant effect on your body.
Located at the back of the throat, tonsils are immune tissues that work as the first barrier against bacteria and viruses. These lymph nodes help keep you healthy and prevent infections.
Finally, your salivary glands are what produces saliva inside your mouth. They work as a defense against infection and disease.
Different accidents can result in teeth injury that may require orthodontic procedures. Working with professional to carry out the process after teeth injury will help you heal and regain your appearance with ease. This helps to eliminate low self-esteem on the look that is caused by any teeth injury and includes correcting weak moving teeth and teeth straightening.
The procedures can quickly help you gain an evenly distributed biting pressure that will protect your jaw. You get to enjoy all the long-term benefits on your gums and making your teeth healthy for its purpose. Therefore you shouldn't struggle when you have crowded teeth or teeth injury as this can easily be corrected. Orthodontic procedures will focus on the perfect positioning of your teeth and straitening to ensure you can enjoy your smile and the self-esteem again.
In case of any accident that effects on the typical structure of your teeth, you should prioritize an appointment with a dentist. This will take care of all the damages early enough without affection your original appearance. Where the injury has affected the meeting position of the jaw, such a correction will work on teeth realignment to enhance proper bites.
How procedures are handled after teeth injury.
The dentist will first check the magnitude of the injury and the impact that it has on the whole jaw structure. Though the procedure may work correctly at an early age, this doesn't limit adults on the same as it can still give the positive expected outcome. Some of the cases may require advance x-ray on the mouth to provide a clear picture before the procedure is done.
The procedure isn't 100% safe as it may lead to some adverse effects in the mouth. Following the soft nature of the gum and other tissues around the mouth, some may be damaged during the process. You need to maintain a high level of hygiene during and after the procedure to avoid tooth decay and other bacterial effects.
Dentists nowadays rely greatly on digital radiographs to detect, diagnose, properly cure and readily monitor ,and visualize all the aspects of oral cavity. Digital radiography outweighs traditional x-ray imaging that is why many dental clinics have modernized their procedure. You can visit this website https://www.audentalimplantssydney.com.au/dentist-gosford/ to learn more as this clinic is specialized in digital dentistry.
With a digital radiograph the dentist has better and enhanced computerized imaging of the oral cavity including teeth, gums, and all the contents of the oral cavity. There is enhanced visualization, even the inches of the teeth and oral cavity for the accurate diagnosis.
Direct method makes use of electronic sensor by putting it into the mouth to record images.
Indirect method uses traditional x-ray scanner to visualize the photographic images as digital ones.
Semi-indirect method uses both sensors and scanner for converting dental x-rays into digital film.
Intraoral: this type is used when teeth growth, development of teeth, any disease condition, or the minor details of the oral cavity is to be seen and monitor.
Extraoral: this type of radiograph mainly shows the outer details of the bones, joint (temporomandibular joint) and its development or any deformity, and oral cavity as a whole.
It exhibits even the smaller details of the decaying tooth. The fillings either temporary or permanent are monitored well through this. Any cysts and abscesses, infected gums, developmental abnormalities or tumors can be revealed by this technique. Can be viewed on the computer screens, enhanced and edited as needed and be sent electronically to other specialists if needed. The sensitivity and specificity is much higher than traditional x-ray films. The radiation exposure is up to 50% less than the previously used photographic x-rays.
Digitization of dental procedures is a modern way to achieve faster and safer treatments.
A perfect smile was once the dream of many people. Some people never had a dazzling smile and had to view the world with yellow or dark teeth, chipped or irregular.
A dental veneer is a kind of cosmetic modification that uses thin, translucent porcelain veneers that adhere permanently to teeth. Veneering is an extraordinary procedure that improves the appearance of your teeth.
What are the benefits of instant smile veneers?
The application is without effort and without problems. The procedure consists only in combining the personalized material with the teeth with little anesthesia or without the need for anesthesia. It is definitely painless. You can have more than one tooth covered at a time, so it's fast with almost immediate results that are surprising and worthwhile.
There is no stress because this procedure is non-invasive. Stress associated with the need to predict pain is eliminated.
Although some cosmetics applications disappear over time, dental facets do not fade over time due to their color fastness.
It is very resistant to fractures. Although porcelain is delicate by nature, it becomes resistant when it ties to the tooth.
Cheaper crowns, traditional orthodontic appliances, and resin fillers dominate the aesthetic dentistry market. Now that veneers are available, you can have more options for the same purpose. Veneers are much cheaper and require less time than crowns.
The raw tooth edges are removed before permanent gluing of the dental veneer to the tooth. The facets are also soft and provide the most natural concealment for a wide variety of tooth cavities.
Veneers are an important and reliable replacement for other orthodontic procedures. Traditional devices are not so attractive anymore. Dental treatments that usually require devices can now be replaced with facets.
Veneers offer self-esteem and enrich the self-image. The smile becomes easy and natural, and you feel good in the crowd all the time.
Anyone who wants to change the look of their teeth should consider the benefits of appearance. Veneers can serve the purpose you gave them, or have this smile perfectly natural and beautiful. Veneers can last for years, especially if they are regularly subjected to proper care and good oral hygiene.

It's best to floss your teeth every day to clear out all traces of bits of food. Your toothbrush bristles cannot reach in between the teeth. In conclusion, see your dental professional every six months to get a routine check-up.


The 3rd edition of the "Hands-on Science" conference was held in Braga, Portugal, from 4 to 9 September 2006. The aim of this international conference was to participate in the improvement of Science and Technology teaching by promoting hands-on experimental practice in the classroom.
Eleni Kyriaki, one of the Xplora teachers who give classes of Science and Informatics, took part of this conference. She gives her feedback below.
«Hands-on Science» sounds wonderful to secondary level science teachers. Some would ask: what can a participant gain from such a conference?
Although I am involved in the "Hands-on Science" project as a partner, I will try in this article to give my impression of the conference from a schoolteacher's point of view.
Were the experiments presented, tested in the school environment?
There were a wide variety of experiments for primary and secondary level that have been designed, developed and tested in the school environment of different countries (Spain, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Cyprus and Belgium). A lot are made using cheap everyday materials, others require more sophisticated constructions.
Are the presented experiments included in the curricula?
Quite a few experiments are variations of classical school experiments.
Some others are non-conventional; they are based on innovating ideas. They can be demonstrated at special Science Fairs events.
We all know that simulation programs help us a lot in explaining an experiment or a theory. I saw wonderful simulations of non-rigid bouncing bodies developed by Dr. Haertel. I also found the Physlet Physics of Christian and Belloni very interesting.
Yes, some really were. I was particularly impressed by the experiments presented by Prof. Hugh Cartwright. It was almost magic and didactic at the same time; static waves in a metal bar that produce "wavy" flames, liquids that mysteriously change color and a lot more.
Was it about how students become serious in studying Science?
Yes, some speeches were against the modern way of doing things easily and quickly, and not paying enough attention to details. Science is related to hard methodic work. I attended some very good presentations that emphasized the ways and tools that provide students with a solid background. Professors Chisleag from Romania and Tavares from Brazil were among them.
Was it about the future?
Quite a few experiments use new technologies to get accurate measurements and a better analysis. Some of the experiments relate to modern research and are not yet fully explained. For example: a plant that grows towards the center of a circle when being centrifuged for a long time.
I also appreciated the hand made robots presented by the Portuguese team. They were dancing and playing football. I could see students of all ages excited with their toys. They were trying out their programs incessantly on their laptops, working and enjoying themselves. Isn't that what we all want?
Was it about the past?
Some historic experiments were presented. The idea is to reproduce important experiments from the past, using modern methods (e.g. computers and sensors). The teacher can refer to inspiring elements from the history of science.
Besides some of the presentations, I really enjoyed the discussions. I met some enthusiastic professors and teachers mainly from Europe, passionately talking about their work and their students.
- I saw many interesting things at the conference; I really would like to have step-by-step instructions published on Internet so that I can apply some of the ideas in my school.
- I hope that there will be a detailed evaluation of the project, which will help me in selecting the appropriate didactic material. It was mentioned that this task would be given to an external Institute (Prof. Berezovska).
Were there any students attending the conference?
There were students in the workshops and at the robots demonstrations. They were conducting experiments, having a lot of fun. The work of some students that took part at the Science Fairs competition was impressive.
What about the proceedings and the organization?
The proceedings are included in a thick book or a CD. The search options are very good.
The local organizing committee did a good job in selecting the people that helped us; they created a friendly atmosphere. "Unfortunately" for me, the food was very good too. The center of Braga is wonderful with a lot of churches and "geometrical" gardens. And Bom Jesus is really beautiful.

A: I found a solution to this, basically I had to add an
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 172.19.0.50

To tell the VPS that any request to 192.168.0.99 (my internal network) need to be routed through the docker container with the VPN server (172.19.0.50).
Once the request got into the VPN server docker, then it know what to do with it as I had already specified the following in pfSense client (/etc/openvpn/ccd/client) to make the VPN aware that any request to these IPs should go through this client:
iroute 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

On top of that, I also had to specify the following in the openVPN config (/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf)
### Route Configurations Below
route 192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0
route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

### Push Configurations Below
push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"

Then of course open up any needed firewalls.


I'm currently reading Cornish Guernseys & Knit-frocks by Mary Wright. Its a lovely little book born out of Ms. Wright's quest to knit a sweater in the way that the Cornish knitters knit them in the mid 1800's. For her book she did more than collect the patterns and techniques unique to that area; she included tons of early photographs showing fishermen in their best knit-frocks, dirty boys in hand-me-down knit-frocks, not as dirty girls finishing up new frocks, and the Cornish Knitters themselves making the frocks. Ms. Wright also reproduced pictures of the knit sheaths those Cornish knitters were using which led me to wonder: How come I don't have a knit sheath?
They are very rare these days but it used to be that all hard-core knitters had them. If you were a knitter who knitted every chance you got, if you were a knitter that was perpetually up against a deadline, or if you were a knitter that needed to keep knitting after your hands started to ache, you used a knit sheath. I don't know about ya'll but I can check every one of those boxes. So where the heck are our knit sheaths?
A homemade knit sheath as shown on The Big Snafu blog.
A knit sheath, aka knit stick, aka knit fish, is any device that you use to anchor a long knit needle to your waist. By anchoring it there you free up a hand, usually the right one, to just work the yarn. That means your right hand can act like a shuttle to move stitches from the left needle to the right needle. It also means you can knit really fast. Ms. Wright claims that experienced knitters can get up to 200 stitches a minute this way.
That got your attention right? Right.
A knit sheath can be very simple or very elaborate. Most are pieces of wood shaped to fit comfortably in your belt with a small hole drilled into one end to put your working needle.
Very simple ones can be made from bundles of straw or feathers.
Some are not sheaths at all but leather pouches with holes that you fill up with hair (I read in one place horse hair works the best) and then attach to your belt.
A fifty year old knit belt still used by Hazel Tindal. Check out her blog and her collection of knitting belts that have been passed down through her family.
Here is a short clip of one of the Terrible Knitters of Dent using a knit sheath and talking about… something. This poor but very curious American can't make out what the heck she is saying and would love a "translation" by any of her lovely British readers.
(The Terrible Knitters of Dent are a thing. "Terrible" meaning fantastically talented and fast of course. Tales about them have been collected here and there. I won't go into details because I'm thinking the Terrible Knitters of Dent need their own blog post. But the phrase seems to originate from Robert Southey's The Doctor published in 1847 and you can start there if you're curious!).
Knit sheaths seem pretty handy if you have a lot of knitting to get through in your life. They are also absolutely necessary if you want to knit-on-the-go.
Which brings me back to the question I've been harping on: Why don't we have knit sheaths? I think (and this an opinion based on my reasoning and not any facts I could find) that we don't have them because modern knitting traditions come from the fashionable drawing rooms of Europe and not the hard-working country villages. Knit sheaths were used by people who had to knit if they wanted sweaters to wear and socks on their feet. They knit first to keep their family clothed and second to earn every extra penny to keep their families fed. Knit sheaths were for knitters of a lower social class.
The knitters of the upper social class sat around in comfortable rooms are worked on their frilly, lace-y something-something to keep themselves occupied. Speed wasn't as much of a concern as looking dignified and composed while knitting. I'm thinking you can't look very dignified with a long knit needle stick up out of your clothes. The upper class knitters were the hobby knitters and we, the modern knitters, are descended from them. Which is how we got gibed out of our knit sheaths.
I'm thinking knit sheaths is going to be one of those things I need to acquire and learn how to use. I can probably rig up a simple one. Then I just need to come up with some really long double pointed needles. It may be a hassle to get all the stuff and then learn how to use it but… 200 stitches a minute? That would be pretty sweet. Even if I can only get 50 stitches a minute that would be a huge improvement.
And maybe if I get good with a knit sheath I'll be able to babble in something that's vaguely like English and confuse the bejesus out of the younger generation. That'd be pretty sweet too.
40 Comments on "Why Don't I Have A Knit Sheath?"
I have a British friend that knits with extra long needles and the right one is held tucked up under her arm pressed against her side.
I have seen that method too. I've heard it called "Irish Cottage" knitting and you do seem to need really long needles to make it work.
My right arm if not so good, so I also use long needles and have it braced against the back of my chair, it works well.
If you find (or make) a knit sheath I'd really like to see how you do it! Even if it is only 2 stitches per minute that would be great. Actually slower would be better than faster that way we can actually see what you're doing because I can't see anywhere near 100 or 200 stitches per minute.
Lol. If I figure it out, and get proficient, then I'll be sure to do my best to show off!
I can see why you would want a knit sheath. Now that I've seen one, I want one myself. One of the pretty decorative ones. So it can sit beside my decorative spindle with its pretty decorative hand spun and my decorative needle and hook holder. It would be the perfect compliment to all my decorative textiles.
A knit sheath will round out my embroidery thread, button collection and felting supplies. Not to mention my yarn stash. I assume a knit sheath isn't really all that big. Surely I could squeeze one in somewhere.
What a lovely collection you must have! It sounds wonderful and if its all sitting safe on a self then it should last forever, right?
Nope, not "having you on". I have trouble following speakers with accents (other than the accent that I have of course). What can I say? I'm almost completely tone deaf, lol.
I wonder what those old knitters talked about as they worked. I wonder if they every envied each other's yarn stash.
Is there anything you don't know about yarn history? I love every bit of it! Keep it coming. Of course you need a knit sheath. Can we have too many craft notions? I think not.
I like the way you think! No, there is no such thing as too many craft notions. I've been thinking what I could use as a knit sheath all day. Hm….

VAMFF NEWS
Meet Laura Brown
Described as one of the most powerful Australians in global fashion, Laura Brown is paving the way for a new type of editor-etiquette, with her down-to-earth nature, winning wit, and ability to break down the barrier between audience and celebrity.
Her illustrious career in journalism has included time at US Harper's BAZAAR and W Magazine, before taking over as Editor in Chief at New York based US InStyle Magazine.
Driven, insightful, and not afraid to shed light on current issues, Brown uses her platform to merge fashion with once-deemed taboo topics surrounding politics, equality, and social injustice.
Laura is unapologetically herself, and the ultimate friend in fashion you want by your side. We caught up with her as she prepares to join us for the 2020 Australian Fashion Summit.
You are one of the most relatable editors of this generation and continue to evolve the fashion/celebrity editorial landscape. Did you have a clear vision of this unique approach to your role, from the early stages of your career?
Aha, the answer is no! I don't think I had a clear vision of anything at the start of my career, apart from knowing that I wanted to be a part of things, and once I was, that I was happy to be there. And I would somehow telegraph that outwardly, with enthusiasm and some smarts. Also, I think I've been respectful of people, but not reverent, which I hope has resulted in a more accessible idea of celebrity. They're just people, people.
You took a bold idea of featuring badass women on the cover of InStyle and turned it into a monumental series for the magazine. What sparked this idea, and why are these editions so important?
I was laughing the other day that my greatest professional contribution to date has the word "ass" in it. But it came from a more serious place. In 2017 President Trump announced a trans ban in the military. I was so furious that I ran into work and asked my team to profile a trans woman serving. They found a woman named Jennifer Peace – married, kids, served in every conflict of her generation. When I was reading about her, I said out loud, "Damn, what a badass." And that was it – Badass Women became a monthly page in the magazine, then a dedicated issue each February and August. We also host dinners and are planning a big Badass gathering next summer. There are women out there doing incredible things (at a time when being engaged has never been more important), so the least we can do is give them a platform. Or a glass of wine. Or both.
InStyle isn't afraid to open discourse on equality, politics, and somewhat taboo topics, often untouched by media outlets. How and why do you 'go there'?
I don't think I had a choice. Trump was elected three months after I started at InStyle, and the culture changed radically. You can't stick your head in the sand and just shoot women at home in ballgowns - it's lazy and unimportant. I think if you focus on what is right and what is wrong, between empathy and the lack of it, it all becomes pretty clear. My job as an editor is to entertain and inspire, so if can slip some engagement into that spoonful of designer honey, all the better.
You have positively changed the way fashion is presented to consumers, and your readership as well as personal popularity has been testament to an overwhelmingly embracing response. Have there been difficult moments, or challenges to that journey behind the scenes?
Oh, that's very kind! I know this sounds basic, but if you're enthusiastic about what you do, and you do it well, it will be embraced. I like to kill 'em with kindness, mostly, and if people aren't kind, I don't work with them. It's quite simple, after a while. If you don't chase BS, or put yourself in situations that make you uncomfortable, it shows in both your character and the work that you do.
What are you most proud of achieving in your career?
Paying the rent in New York City! And for recognition like this. Honestly, it means the world to me. Thank you so much.
Laura will be speaking at the Australian Fashion Summit, 13 March 2020.

This game originates from the creative minds of Little Big Planet, as well as a series of successful games. All in all a rewarding and exciting jump – but see for yourself and reassure yourself of children's adventures that are both innovative and exciting.
Rayman Legends is a typical jump n run game from Ubisoft. This can be described as a sort of Mario memo because in Rayman your main task is to jump and climb a lot of objects and avoid enemies and traps.
The game is released from the age of 6 and is therefore also interesting for younger children.
What is LittleBigPlanet 3? This is a game with physics-based puzzle elements and all kinds of creative possibilities. You lead cute little avatars through different levels, where a mix of brain, skill, and creativity is required to overcome all obstacles and successfully master the levels.
Plus, the game offers you the opportunity to unleash your creativity and design completely new levels, objects, buildings, shapes, or even scenarios yourself. These can then be shared with the community, which means there are always lots of new challenges and variations.
Little Big Planet has now entered its third round of a funny and entertaining PS4 game for boys and girls. With an age rating of 6, it is also interesting and playable for younger children. The main tasks here are jumping, collecting objects, and climbing. Everything is in a cute background and in front of a beautiful sound and graphic background.
Cars 3 Driven to win is proof that a PS4 racing game specifically for children can run very well for ages 3 to 6 years. Anyone who knows the movie will love Cars 3. Specially prepared for kids and equipped with a high fun factor, this game offers a lot of fun for those who love racing.
If you are looking for the best PS4 games for kids, you also can't try Snoopy games. Snoopy and Charlie Brown – for many of the most important characters of childhood – are now on PS4. This game offers easy-to-learn controls and is approved for ages 0 and above, which is why this game is suitable for all age groups. In the game itself, you have to jump around and reach your goal in the best running jumping style. Graphic highlights are convincing and appropriate for children.
after the film of the same name and bestseller, Ostwind games are now making their way to the PS4 console. It is also in the category of best PS4 kids games 2020 and, based on the film, offers a great journey of discovery and exploration that will captivate kids.
This PS4 game for children is approved for ages 3 to 4 years and over and is therefore recommended for all age groups. In the game itself, you have to tackle all kinds of tasks around Gut Kallenbach, who can also be demanding and therefore also require skills and abilities.
Who doesn't know them – the usual children's board games like Monopoly, Boggle and Co. These and other well-known board classics are included in Hasbro's Family Fun Pack, which can now also be played on PS4.
From the title, this game is interesting not only for kids but also for the whole family. With an age rating of 6 years, this game can also be played by younger children without any problems. With this game, you have some of the best PS4 games for kids in one collection….
The Sims – one of the best PS4 games for kids when it comes to simulation. Here you control your favorite Sim and have to manage your whole life with it. There are different options and you will have to learn a lot and be able to do different things with your character.
With an age rating of 6, this game is also suitable for young children and offers some interesting simulation tasks. With The Sims 4, kids can create their own character and build a real-life with it.
Music is also an important factor for PS4 games for boys and girls which shouldn't be underestimated. Younger children in particular often have a very good taste in music and like to sing and dance to that taste.
With Singstar Celebration, which has been approved for ages 0 and above, children can now sing their favorite songs and emulate their stars. No more YouTube – now you sing and join the many famous songs from the charts, Singstar Celebration ensures long-term fun for young and old alike.
What is Horizon Chase Turbo? This is a PS4 multiplayer game with a fast-paced arcade racing theme with a stylized retro look. Horizon Chase Turbo is in principle a kind of homage to old classic racing games like Top Gear, OutRun, or Rush, which clearly serve as templates and inspiration.
In Horizon Chase Turbo, you have fun racing against AI or human players in local multiplayer with split-screen from a rear perspective at breakneck speed, where you have to collect power-ups and fuel and pimp your car in between.
For what age is the Horizon Chase Turbo suitable? The arcade racing game is recommended by USK for ages 0 and over.
How Complicated is the Horizon Chase Turbo? The controls are easy to learn and the car is relatively easy to drive. After all, this is a fun arcade racer, not a simulation.
The route has gradually become more demanding, but with a little practice, 6-year-olds can easily master the game and quickly celebrate their first success. Older children have fun, especially in cooperation – whether against their brothers or their fathers, for example.
What is Sonic Forces? Sonic Forces is a game that revolves around the cult blue hedgehog Sonic. The game cleverly combines classic side-scrolling elements like a characteristic side view with platformer inserts in a modern 3D disguise.
It is important to master various thematically inspired levels with all kinds of parkour elements and obstacles with multiple skills and also to take down the bad guys.
For what age are Sonic Forces suitable? The PS4 game for children Sonic Forces is recommended by USK for ages 6 and over.
The mix of 2D elements and 3D animation is fun and offers variety. But especially in the 3D view, sometimes the kids need a little more practice as the agile hedgehog can move more freely there. As soon as you get used to the controls in 3D, help is no longer needed.
What is the Unravel Yarny Bundle? Yarny's bundle includes the games Unravel 1 and 2. Unravel is a physics-based puzzle game where you control the thread creature, Yarny.
In front of a beautiful backdrop, you will have to cleverly use your unique character and manipulate your environment to master a variety of puzzles, puzzles, and interesting skills. In part 2 you can even control two Yarnys – either alone or together, which is a lot of fun. Especially with children.
What age is Unravel suitable for? Yarny Bundle, which are the two PS4 games for children recommended by USK for ages 6 and over.
But even if the game is recommended for ages 6 and over, it can be quite demanding sometimes. And although with so many riddles and riddles you can encourage younger children in the right direction with just a few words, some dexterity turns out to be an insurmountable hurdle and causes frustration.
Parents should help here or play actively with their children. Then Unravel offers an almost magical experience. And especially part 2, which you can play cooperatively with, is great fun with the kids.
Here your child can finally cook without your kitchen getting messy. The goal is for him to prepare as many dishes as possible in the right way. Sounds easy, doesn't it. Certainly not with your finger-looking waiters and coworkers getting in the way.
This PS4 game for children is very suitable for ages 3 to 4 years and over. With the newest season of the world-famous soccer game, you are really cute. Choose from hundreds of teams, looking for a trophy and you want something different? Then play the game VOLTA Football: a new game mode where you play soccer in different locations. From Amsterdam squares to skyscrapers in shops.
Do you have PS Plus? All of these games are paid, but if you are a (long term) PS Plus member, chances are you already own some of these games.
Because some of these games are already available as monthly free titles for PlayStation Plus subscribers. This includes:
Overcooked!
Portal of Knights
