Overwatch 2 is definitely an expansion rather than a sequel
July 16, 2019 WPUserLeave a Comment on Overwatch 2 is definitely an expansion rather than a sequel
Several years after the Uprising, the war between humans and the Null Sector hits a crucial tipping point. The only hope at restoring peace lies with the disbanded Overwatch crew. In a new cinematic, we see Winston send out an SOS to his scattered, former partners in fighting crime, reuniting everyone to save the world from destruction.
Overwatch 2 is not a sequel to Overwatch in the traditional sense, but rather expands on the entire canon. "It's is a game we've been dying to make," said Overwatch lead writer Michael Chu. "Other than the archives, all we've been able to do is give you a little glimpse. We were never able to give you that big chunk of really living in the Overwatch universe." And that's what Overwatch 2 is all about: PvE hero and co-op story missions designed to do a massive amount of world building.
The story mode of Overwatch 2 plays similarly to Left for Dead 2. Games are four players to a team, and heroes are first come, first serve, like Overwatch before the role lock—but even if you're not familiar with a certain hero, story mode is a great chance to practice with them in a lower -pressure environment. Also, based on the map you're playing your hero choices will change. This playable demo lets you choose from Lucio, Mei, Reinhardt, and Tracer, but that line-up will change with other maps. All existing maps in Overwatch will be available in Overwatch 2, but there's no information on what heroes will be available for what maps at this time.
Also like Left for Dead 2, you can pick up items like health packs, grenades, and turrets to use in addition to your standard abilities, and you have a chance to revive downed teammates before they are permanently out of the game. If everyone dies, then you and your team restart from the last checkpoint. In that sense, Overwatch 2 is more forgiving than Left for Dead 2, but if your entire team dies too many times before you complete your final objective, then you fail the mission and have to restart from the beginning.

Overwatch 2 story mode looks and feels identical to Overwatch's gameplay, save for one important change: level progression, which is similar to Heroes of the Storm, although the characters have different abilities. The demo wasn't long enough for us to get into higher-tier abilities, but we were able to choose between two low-level ones. Playing as Mei, a talent that dealt extra damage to nearby enemies after killing one stood out to me the most. It wasn't clear how much damage was dealt, so it didn't seem that effective at first, but throwing Mei's ultimate into a tightly clustered group helped set off a chain reaction. One enemy would deal nearby damage, and then enemies would die and deal nearby damage, and so on until everyone within Mei's ultimate radius was dead.
However, as a group of four, it felt too easy to take out every robot in our path. Perhaps playing Overwatch for years made the robots feel like easy targets, or maybe the difficulty setting was turned way down. I imagine there will be an option to change that once the game is released, though as the demo currently stands the only way you could fail is if you run around shooting erratically or make really stupid mistakes.
There wasn't anything to show off for Hero mode, as Overwatch 2 is still very much in development, but it definitely seems Blizzard is spicing up its character abilities—like, Carolina Reaper spicy. Torbjörn can not only turn his turret into a flamethrower, but he can also turn his turret into three mini turrets and turn them all into flamethrowers. This is only a glimpse into what Overwatch production director Julia Humphreys says is the beauty of Overwatch 2's talent progression system. Choosing how you want to progress your playstyle is a "real superhero power fantasy," something that is easy to explore in a PvE environment, but not PvP where balance is a top priority.
How you progress individual heroes in hero mode is still a mystery, though. Humphreys likened hero mode to World of Warcraft's world quests and Diablo's adventure mode: dynamic, changing experiences that you can come back to over and over again. As far as level caps or skill trees, it's still too early to tell how that will take shape.
While all heroes will be available to play in hero mode, only a handful will be available in story mode. "There's a little bit of a balancing act," said Chu. "We now have 31 heroes and we obviously want to include as many as we can, but we also have to be conscious that a good story will get harder and harder to tell as we add more characters." With that in mind, Chu said that pretty much all the heroes we saw in the Zero Hour animated short will be playable throughout the story mode missions.
As to whether or not Echo will be a playable character, that is still unknown. "She's definitely a bit of an enigma right now," said Humphreys. "She has a long and interesting relationship with the Overwatch team," added Chu. Whatever the case, she seems like a central part of the Overwatch 2 world.
The new 'push' PvP mode is a different beast all together: two opposing teams race to the center to take control of a robot and escort him into enemy territory. (The robot can get a little snarky too, if the teams keep making him switch directions. It's hilarious.) Unlike control and payload maps, the push maps are symmetrical, and the robot becomes the central tether in a esports tug-of-war. There are tons of places to hide and flank, as well. Heroes like Widowmaker, Bastion, and Sombra can do well in this new PvP mode, where slow moving tanks like Orisa probably wouldn't be a good choice.
But the main problem with push mode right now is that if the opposing teams aren't evenly matched, one can easily dominate the other and the robot basically becomes a payload. Even with more flanking opportunities, the result feels very similar to payload maps—you're still trying to push something in one direction. I haven't seen anyone try to ride the robot like you can a payload, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already figured out how to do that.
Overwatch 2 is still in early development, so what was demoed at BlizzCon will most likely change between now and whenever the game is released.

Grandma Mistakenly Texted The Wrong Guy On Thanksgiving, She Had No Clue This Would Change Her Every Thanksgiving Going Forward
Brianna AhearnTrending
Image: Daily Mail
A grandmother became an online hit when she texted the wrong person to invite him to Thanksgiving dinner. As it turns out, she used her mistake to adopt a new grandchild and the two have started a new Thanksgiving tradition that is all about how friends become family.
13. A Mistaken Text Message
In 2016, Wanda Dench was sending an innocent text message to her grandson inviting him to Thanksgiving when the unexpected happened: her text went to the wrong person. What happened next touched hearts around the world.
12. A 17-Year Old
Wanda wanted to invite her grandson to Thanksgiving dinner. Instead, she sent the text to the wrong person. It went to Jamal Hinton, a 17-year old who lived nearby. When she realized her mistake, she invited him to Thanksgiving anyway.
11. The Wrong Number
Everything began when Wanda sent a message to her grandsons before Thanksgiving. One of her grandsons got the message with no problem. The other, however, had changed his number without alerting his grandma. As it turned out, someone else had the number.
10. A Young Man
Image: Instagram
That someone was Jamal Hinton. When he got the message, he wanted to know who was texting him. Wanda replied "it's grandma." Jamal replied, "You not my grandma." He texted back a photo of himself, asking "Can I still get a plate though?"
9. An Invitation Extended
"Of course, you can," she replied. "That's what grandma's do…feed every one." Wanda lives in Mesa, Arizona, while Jamal lives in Tempe. So, it was basically a halfway point between Phoenix and Tampa, so Jamal decided to attend.
8. Viral Texting
Conveniently, Dench lives in Mesa, Arizona, while Hinton lives in the neighboring Tempe, just east of Phoenix. Someone posted their text messages to Twitter, where it went viral. More than 200,000 people retweeted the comments and nearly half a million people liked it.
7. A Second Invitation
Jamal eagerly accepted the invitation. The two shared a laugh and formed a bond over the invitation and the dinner. In 2017, Dench decided to reach out to Jamal again with another invitation. This time it wasn't a mistake.
6. A New Friend and Girlfriend
This time around, Jamal brought his girlfriend, Mikaela Grubbs. He introduced her to Wanda. "It was really nice having everybody here," Dench told The Arizona Republic. Wanda enjoyed having young people around for dinner.
5. A Good Laugh
Wanda told the paper, "We got to laugh about last year and reminisce about how it all blew up on our phone and how I had to change my number. We had a laugh and a good time." That wasn't the end of the story.
4. Still in Touch
This time, their relationship truly blossomed. Wanda and Jamal chat about once a week. They discuss Jamal's plans for the future and catch up about Wanda's family. Jamal has big plans: to attend law school and become a sports agent.
3. A Pleasant Surprise
Wanda is delighted with her new friend. "For him to continue with the relationship, I'm just really pleasantly surprised," she said. "We're more of extended family and, best of all, friends." Her message for others is that even strangers can be like family if they engage in the spirit of openness.
2. Making the World a Better Place
"The world is becoming a better place than it used to be," Jamal said. "I'm loving it. I love that you don't have to know someone or know their background to be nice to them." That's just the right message for our chaotic times. And the invitation has already been extended, and accepted, for Thanksgiving 2018.
1. Pumpkin Pie
Image: People
The best part of every holiday is time with family and friends. The second best? It's the pie, of course. Jamal did his part with both in 2017, bringing pumpkin pie and lots of laughter to at his new grandmother's house. A lesson for everyone this holiday season!

Will Tokyo RPG Factory Get Another Chance?
By: Ben
Going into 2018, my two most anticipated RPGs coming to the Switch were Octopath Traveler and Lost Sphear. Well, I was hopeful for Dragon Quest XI this year too but let's not throw any more salt in that ever-agonizing wound. Lost Sphear severely underperformed despite "decent" reviews from most avenues, and sold well under its predecessor, I Am Setsuna. Although I personally put about 25 hours into Lost Sphear, I couldn't make myself finish it for a multitude of reasons which I will not divulge into here (check out my review if you want my full opinion on it).
Fast forward to this month and Octopath Traveler releases to both critical and financial acclaim. There is so much buzz around the game that multiple articles are still popping up each day amongst popular news outlets, even though it released almost three weeks ago. And I believe Octopath has more than earned that recognition for just its technological advancements alone. Even if you aren't hot on the game itself, the HD-2D design is a retro RPG lover's wet dream (give or take the depth of field part).
But the success of Octopath Traveler has me curious about more than just the future of the Octopath team itself. In fact, I find myself reflecting back on this past January and the release of Lost Sphear more than anything. I have already touched on the reasons I think Tokyo RPG Factory failed to live up to its "bringing back the Golden Age of JRPGs" motto in another article, so I won't discuss those specifics here. What I'm really interested to know is whether the team will be allowed to take another stab into game-making, or if their time is simply up.
The thing is, even though I have been quite vocal about my general dislike of both I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear, I don't have a desire to see anything completely fail. When it comes to games, I believe more competition is a good thing, and I'd love to see Tokyo RPG Factory or any company at that improve to the point it makes competitors take notice. And something about TRPGF that some other companies may not have is genuine passion for their craft, or at least the idea behind it. The splash screen on the front page of their website even states the following:
"Countless adventures captivated us when we were kids. Now, it's time for us to return the favor with adventures of our own."
It's obvious these people love RPGs; I just don't think they accomplished what they initially sought after. That's not to say another try wouldn't work out in their favor though. As they say, third time's the charm, right? With Lost Sphear's numbers being vastly inferior to I Am Setsuna, I'm not going to hold my breath for it though.
If they do get another chance, I think the most important thing for them is to distance themselves from the Chrono Trigger comparisons completely. Just like with Octopath confusing lots of genre veterans with the "Final Fantasy VI spiritual successor" debacle, it's clear that using this marketing ploy involving beloved titles of the yesteryears does more harm than good. Find an identity for your product and go with it rather than leaning on flimsy, nostalgic-driven ties.
One thing I did enjoy about Lost Sphear was the improvements it made in comparison to Setsuna regarding the combat system. But I'm not so certain we'd need a third entry from the same company that uses the same kind of combat system unless they were to add some sort of additional mechanics to make it really stand out (or simply improved on some of the ones they already have).
Lost Sphear did a much better job than Setsuna with both the art and sound direction, and really solidified its distinct look and feel. While not pixel art or overwhelmingly enjoyable tunes, I can appreciate the improvements made between the first two games nonetheless. I would not be opposed to a third entry in a similar style, seeing as it would likely be an evolution from Lost Sphear (much like that was from Setsuna).
Finally, something would have to be done about the price. I failed to mention this in my last TRPGF-themed article due to oversight on my part, but our staff member Jeremy Rice (Xatres) helped remind me of this crucial point. At each game's launch, they were charging full price for something that, at best, felt more like $30-40 titles (their prices have gone down a bit since). It will be absolutely essential for this theorized third entry to be at a lower price point in order for it to be successful. If that means scaling back the overall length or content of the game, then so be it. I understand that the team has to eat, but a level of multi-dimensional quality not yet achieved in their first two outings would have to be in their next game to merit a full price tag.
Tokyo RPG Factory desperately needs to win back the trust of consumers like myself and many others with the same mindset if they want to get the ball of success in any sort of motion. If the opportunity presents itself, I just hope they don't play it safe by taking the same Setsuna / Lost Sphear route without any sort of substantial additions or changes thrown in for good measure.
It's a ghost town though, both on Tokyo RPG Factory's website and their social media. Neither medium has seen an update of any sort since right around the launch of Lost Sphear, which doesn't bode well for their future. Sure, they could be busy on something else, but I'm not so certain that's the reason for the silence. On the other hand, I wouldn't be so quick as to say the team has dissolved just yet, since the front-end still exists despite appearing as a barren husk at the moment.
Do you think we've seen the last of Tokyo RPG Factory? Would another title from the developer interest you at all?

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for both students and staff with anticipation of a busy and exciting year ahead. We are also excited to say hello to many new boys starting their Brisbane Grammar School journey.
Here at BGS Library we welcome our new students with a comprehensive Library Orientation program which aims to promote library services, introduce the friendly and helpful library staff, our HUGE range of books and graphic novels, and promote the library as a safe space where boys can have fun, quietly read, create and collaborate.
With over 100 new Year 5 students across 8 classes Teacher Librarian Ms Palmer introduces the boys to a little game she likes to call 'Escape the Library!'. Teams of boys are challenged to solve puzzles, find items and decipher codes that teach them about the essentials of the Middle School Library such as how to find books on the catalogue, how our Library Management System works and the exciting events that boys can be apart of throughout the year. As boy's race to the finish line their excitement is palpable as they finally unlock all 5 locks and open the big red box.
Over in the Centenary Library Teacher Librarian Ms Smith alongside her popular and much loved CLIB mascot Grumpy Cat runs 'Library Smarts' for over 250 Year 7 students across 9 classes – with some brand new to BGS. 'Library Smarts' is a specially designed board game that introduces the Year 7 boys to the expectations of moving into this new space and giving them the ownership of creating a positive framework of Centenary Library guidelines that students and visitors follow when using the library.
After being divided into team's students roll the dice to move around the Monopoly-like board, getting tips from Grammar Man and Grumpy Cat along the way and completing photo challenges using iPads. As the boys move about their new library familiarising themselves with what and where everything is team work is paramount for collecting clues and sharing them with team mates.
After 9 classes Ms Smith was especially impressed with one particular Year 7 team who managed to create a massive 42 guidelines for implementation in the Centenary Library. Well done boys!
Valuable and exciting library lessons like these allow our Teacher Librarians to capture these boy's imaginations and actively engage them with the learning process through play. Using gamification methods like these also help build their non-cognitive skills that are just as fundamental for a student's learning and success throughout their education.
The middle school years are a crucial time for cultivating students' readiness for future success both in and outside of school. Now more than even, preparing students to live as citizens of the world is an important task for educators and parents. Social, creative and emotional intelligence are key ingredients to an individual's ability to flourish and make meaningful contributions in their community.
With Term 4 already here, Middle School students returned to school excited to be participating in their second Signature Program for 2018.
As students immersed themselves in their chosen endeavors – be it literature, media or social activities, real-world scenarios were given to the students to collaborate on and imagine the 'What if?'.
Year 6 students chose to take on the weighty topic of Think Global, Act Local where issues such as Poverty, Children's Rights, Fair Trade and Sustainable Development were unpacked, work-shopped and then presented back to their peers for feedback and buy-in as a TV or radio ad, or print campaign.
Integral to contemporary life is the ability to understand and utilize media both as creators and communicators. The Director's Cut signature program gave boys critical hands-on experience in documenting other signature programs around the school. Student's formed teams, filmed and edited their footage with the goal of each video to be captivating, entertaining and educational, and leave its viewers in no doubt as to the value of the programs being offered to the students.
The Year 7 Signature Program that ran in the library was called Stories in the Wild. Students were given the task of writing a 6-part story as a group of 3 to be presented at the end of the week. Students started the program by discussing writing and team building techniques to practice during the week. They then headed out on a scavenger hunt which involved collecting feature items that students had to incorporate into their story. Other requirements included; BGS had to be woven into the story, and each section of the narrative had to showcase a different text type and be rendered in a different media.
After the 4 days students were excited to share what they had created and learnt with their peers and teachers. As well as walking away with many new experiences and skills our BGS Signature Program gives our boys exposure to creative thinking, develop leadership skills, and build confidence. It also aims to nurture friendships outside their own peer groups and equip our students with skill sets to seize every opportunity.
We've been hard at work since the start of the year refreshing our library website to make it more appealing and accessible to our students as a go-to destination for their studies and reading enjoyment, and easier for library staff to share the valuable resources that will help students with their assignments.
Our revamped site has an exciting new home page design with more up-to-date content, recap of events and activities as they happen, links to our eBook and audiobook suppliers and general information we think users should know.
Based on feedback we have given the eresources space a much needed face-lift. When student's login into the eresources tab they will see that each subject has had its individual page updated with new click-through graphics for each corresponding subject databases, updated ClickView and EnhanceTV graphics that are now single sign-on for ease of use, and articles that we think are crucial reading for understanding the subject. The presentation of these valuable services allows the students to navigate them with ease while making more informed decisions when it comes to analysing the information they find.
We are also featuring new books in our homepage's hero headers. These are books that we feel are essential reading for both students and staff. Perhaps they have won awards or are considered classics in the literature world. These will be updated weekly so be sure to check back regularly so you don't miss our picks and Monthly Top 10's.
We are continually working on the site so be sure to watch this space! We also welcome your feedback (suggestions, complaints and compliments if you have any 😊) so please send an email to library@brisbanegrammar.com, or come and see us at the desk. Your feedback will help us improve the site for everyone.

"That's All Right" er en komposition fra 1946 af Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup.

Crudup indspillede oprindeligt sangen under titlen "I Don't Know It" og genindspillede den i 1949 under titlen "That's All Right (Mama)". Sangen fik dog kun beskeden udbredelse indtil 1954, hvor den blev genindspillet af Elvis Presley, nu under titlen "That's All Right".

Elvis Presleys version
"That's All Right" var Elvis Presleys første professionelle pladeindspilning. Den blev indspillet under en to-dages session i studiet hos Sam Phillips i Sun Records i Memphis, som fandt sted i dagene 5. – 6. juli 1954. Det var Sam Phillips, der tog initiativet til denne session. Mange forskellige sange blev prøvet, men det lykkedes ikke rigtigt at ramme den sound, som han ønskede. Med i studiet sammen med Elvis var guitaristen Scotty Moore og bassisten Bill Black, der begge var kendte studiemusikere hos Sun.

Under en pause i optagelserne begyndte Elvis at klovne lidt med sangen "That's All Right", og de andre to fulgte med i klovnerierne. "That's All Right" kendte Elvis fra pladeindspilningen fra 1949 med Crudup, men Elvis og de to studiemusikere forsøgte sig nu med sangen i en langt mere rockende udgave, end den oprindelige. Sam Phillips optog dem på bånd, her var lige præcis den sound, som de havde søgt. Gruppen indspillede dernæst "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Bill Monroe), og de to numre blev udsendt som single den 19. juli.

Tolv dage før, den 7. juli, blev "That's All Right" spillet for første gang i radioen. Det var på den lokale radiostation WHBQ, og det var dermed den lokale disc jockey, Dewey Phillips, der blev den første i verden, der spillede en Elvis-plade i radioen. Han var så begejstret for pladen, at han denne dag spillede den fjorten gange på sit program, og efter adskillige opringninger fra lytterne fik han samme aften hentet Elvis Presley ind til sit første radiointerview.

What's the change of the new endowment insurance policy in 2018? These four questions need attention
4hw.com.cn: in the contemporary society, social security plays an increasingly important role in our daily life. Endowment insurance is a topic of great concern. What changes have taken place in the new endowment insurance policy issued in 2018?
1. Retirement age
As we all know, at present, the legal retirement age in China is 60 for men, 55 for women cadres and 50 for women workers. So this year, there will be a provision to delay retirement. According to the new provision, by 2045, both men and women will retire at the age of 65.
2. Payment interruption
Many people will worry that their social security will be interrupted. In fact, if they are interrupted due to job changes or other reasons, it doesn't matter much. Because endowment insurance is mainly calculated by the accumulated payment years. As long as everyone has paid for 15 years in a row, that is 180 months, they can enjoy the pension after retirement.
3. Payment period
As we have said above, as long as the endowment insurance has been paid for 15 years, it can enjoy the pension. But that doesn't mean there's no need to continue to pay for endowment insurance after 15 years. Because the more we pay, the more we pay, the more we can get our pension in our later years.
4. Supplementary payment of social security
If the social security has not been paid for 15 years and you want to receive a pension after retirement, you must pay for 15 years. If the legal retirement age has not been paid for 15 years, you can continue to pay for 15 years. However, there will be a time limit here. If the time limit is extended by 5-10 years, if the female employee is 60 years old or the male employee is 65 years old and has not paid for 15 years in total, they will have to pay in full at one time.
In short, the longer we pay, the more money we get after retirement. Therefore, it is suggested that we must pay our own endowment insurance and try to pay more, so that we can get a higher pension after retirement.

Planned Parenthood didn't tell her she was pregnant with twins. Then, they survived the abortion pill.
By Katie Franklin | October 20, 2019 , 03:30pm
(Pregnancy Help News) Recently, a Tennessee woman gave birth to healthy twin babies who miraculously survived a chemical abortion attempt at a Knoxville, TN, Planned Parenthood.
The incredible story of these miracle babies, as told by one pro-life physician, underscores just how sorely the abortion giant fails to meet the needs of women, both from a medical standpoint and a human one.
Displaying obvious ineptitude from the start, the nation's largest abortion business only informed the woman she was pregnant with twins after the chemical abortion she'd been given by Planned Parenthood staff failed.
Furthermore, at her initial visit to the Planned Parenthood facility, the staff misinformed her about the basic biological development happening within her seven-week pregnancy, stating that it was too early for a heartbeat and that it was "just cardiac activity" they were seeing.
Pro-life physician Brent Boles, who helped the woman following her failed abortion, commented on Facebook earlier this month about the twins' birth and Planned Parenthood's handling of the pregnancy.
"Abortion isn't about caring for the woman," Boles said. "It's about the $$$."
Boles had originally shared the story on the social media platform this past March after the woman contacted him looking for help.
Boles, who is a member of the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, told Pregnancy Help News that his patient originally came to him through the group's 24/7 helpline (877-558-0333). She had found the helpline after returning to Planned Parenthood for a follow-up appointment and discovering that she was still pregnant.

Because Planned Parenthood had no help to offer her, she left and scoured the web before landing on AbortionPillReversal.com.
From the doctor's October 4 post:
Earlier this year, a patient called the Abortion Pill Rescue hotline and was referred to me. Three weeks before, she had been in a Planned Parenthood facility. She had an ultrasound at seven weeks, and asked during the ultrasound if there was a heartbeat. She was told "No, it's too early to call it a heartbeat; it is just cardiac activity."
As he did in his Facebook post this past March, Boles lambasted the abortion industry "cardiac activity" lie in his new post about the twins:
Problem #1: those types of statements are just deceptive word games. Calling the fetal heartbeat 'embryonic pulsing' or 'cardiac activity' and saying that it is not yet a heartbeat is a lie. The leading textbooks of embryology say that the heart begins to beat at five weeks and they call that a heartbeat. No medical or scientific text affirms their erroneous concept that pulsatile activity is not yet a heartbeat. In fact, those texts say that the cardiac/circulatory system is the first organ system to perform its adult purpose in utero. They lied to her in order to have her emotionally commit to handing over her cash and having the abortion.
That wasn't the only problem with Planned Parenthood's so-called medical evaluation of his patient:
Problem #2: at seven weeks the vast majority of competent sonographers will never miss twins at that point. But women who find out they are having twins are far less likely to abort twins, as the thought of aborting only one baby does t seem quite as bad as aborting two. So… either an incompetent sonographer missed the fact that she had twins or didn't want to tell her and have her thousand dollars walk out the door with her.
She did the course of the abortion pill and nothing happened. She went back two weeks later and had another ultrasound at approximately nine weeks and they said 'oh well, it didn't work, and you are having twins.' She asked what could be done and they said nothing. She left, found the number to call on google, and that led her to my office.
Abortion Pill Reversal, which has saved more than 900 babies to date, works by giving pregnant women additional progesterone, a natural hormone that sustains a healthy pregnancy. In the case of a twin pregnancy, a woman's body produces more progesterone to nurture both babies.
In evaluating his patient and the twins, Boles determined that in this case, extra progesterone via Abortion Pill Reversal wouldn't be necessary. But for Boles, that still didn't excuse Planned Parenthood's glaring incompetence when it came to administering a practice he strongly opposes:
Problem #3: they (Planned Parenthood) don't even know how to use the medication properly, assuming they did know it was twins. I am prolife and I know that a higher dose of mifeprex is required to work successfully to abort a multiple gestation, because a twin pregnancy produces higher levels of progesterone.
For Christa Brown, director of Medical Impact at Heartbeat International, the twins' survival, as well as other survivals achieved through the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, marks a notable victory for life.
"It's incredible to think that the abortion industry has already counted those babies as abortion statistics, but instead they are alive and well," she said. "We are so thankful for Dr. Boles and all of the providers in the Abortion Pill Rescue Network who are saving lives every single day worldwide. To date, the abortion industry has lost nearly 1,000 of their statistics and our world has gained nearly 1,000 precious babies who are growing and thriving thanks to the APR Network."
Not only did Planned Parenthood fail this woman in every medical aspect, but the abortion business also failed to meet her basic human needs as a pregnant woman now expecting twins. Boles's final critique of the abortion giant?
Problem #4: they refused to offer any advice or counsel.
For several years now, abortion advocates have fired off endless lies about the help provided by pro-life pregnancy help organizations. But who is really taking care of women in unexpected pregnancies?
More than 2,750 pregnancy help centers all across the U.S. are providing counsel and resources to women in need every day. From diapers to housing to parenting classes to free obstetrical ultrasound scans, they are serving families from a place of utmost compassion and care.
READ: Abortion pill reversal saved her baby after she regretted taking the first dose
In 2017, they served nearly 2 million clients, saving communities, an estimated $161 million.
When the abortion industry fails to meet women's needs, pregnancy centers are there. When a woman is kicked out of her home and has nowhere to go, maternity homes are there. When the abortion industry leaves a woman grieving and regretting her "choice," abortion recovery ministries are there.
When a woman desperately wants to save her unborn child from an in-process chemical abortion, Dr. Boles and hundreds of other pro-life physicians in the Abortion Pill Rescue Network are there, offering her child one last chance at life.
Despite Planned Parenthood's utter failure to meet this patient's needs, today two healthy babies are alive and doing well in the state of Tennessee.
"These twins have now delivered at term, uncomplicated by any other issues," Boles wrote in his social media post, "and are at home with their parents, who are exceedingly pleased that a decision made under pressure and while in fear did not work out as planned."

Mangaweka and The Red Bus
Mangaweka and The Red Bus Painting by Daryl Lex Price. Oils on linen 91.5x122.5x4cm Nov 06. NZ Mangaweka art 265.
One of my surreal artworks of a favourite town, Mangaweka, in the middle of the North Island, New Zealand. As a kid we would stop in the main street of this old town (long since bypassed by the highway) on our occasional travels, crammed into the back of an old Vauxhall Velox car. I remember the waitress ladies in the 'tearooms' as they were called then, with their posh speaking voices, white aprons and bright red lipstick, as a five year old we had to be on our best behaviour in such a distinguished and exclusive eatery. People have asked," why the big red London double decker bus?" and admittedly it was not there all those years ago. I only saw it there in recent times but it kind of reminded me of those posh ladies practising their English accents. Memories aside, the place is still occupied by interesting people who care for and love the old town.
Mangaweka From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2008) Mangaweka Mangaweka's iconic DC-3 Mangaweka is a township on State Highway One (SH1), in the North Island of New Zealand, with a population of just under 200. It is between Taihape to the north and Hunterville to the south.[1] The Rangitikei River runs adjacent to the township, which is popular for rafting, kayaking, fishing and swimming.
The township is interesting not only for the visually interesting historic main street, but also because of its growing artists' community. The main street is preserved in its original state due to SH1 being re-located in the early 1980s. This tore the heart out of the township as the main street became redundant, but this is what makes the township such a tourist attraction today, with many people stopping to take photographs and visit the flourishing art galleries.
The main feature in Mangaweka is an elevated DC-3 aircraft. It was originally set above SH1 as a tearoom, but is now featuring its history in New Zealand. There is also a busy cafe under the DC3 that acts as the base for a river rafting company. The Department of Conservation have several scenic reserve walks around Mangaweka including one on the former North Island Main Trunk railway line and tunnels, replaced by a deviation in 1981.
Famous (or infamous) people who have lived in Mangaweka include the New Zealand poet Sam Hunt, the artist Robin White (whose iconic "Mangaweka" painting hangs in Te Papa) and photographer/artist Richard Aslett. The town also hosts the controversial annual "Fakes & Forgeries Art Exhibition and Festival" in October and November, which in 2007 featured Mangaweka's most famous son, C. F. Goldie (alias Karl Sim [1]).
Other major features close to the town include some of the country's biggest railway viaducts [2], and the Rangitikei River canyon which provides the setting for the southern hemisphere's highest flying fox, 80m bungy jump and Lord of the Rings location.

Public Event:– Many distinguished speakers – Pearl Harbor – Ewa Field Commemoration, aircraft flyovers, Marine Forces Pacific Band, Pacific Air Forces Honor Guard. Part of the officially recognized Pearl Harbor commemoration week.
This will be held Saturday, December 9, between 9 AM to 10:30 AM at historic Ewa Field, located near 4365-4423 Roosevelt Ave, Kapolei, HI. Please arrive by 8:30 AM.
We would like to extend an invitation to the public and especially veterans and members of the Armed Forces to the 10th annual Ewa Field Battlefield Commemoration at the former Navy and Marine Corps airbase known as Ewa Field. This commemoration is in honor of those killed on December 7, 1941 at Ewa Field, Ewa Plantation Villages and the Ewa Battlefield area of West Oahu.
Ewa airfield's naval history goes back to 1925 as a planned "lighter than air" airship mooring field with a later added coral runway used by Navy and Army Air Corps planes in the 1930's. Just as final conversion to a US Marine Corps advanced expeditionary airfield was taking place in December 1941 as Marine Air Group 21, Ewa Mooring Mast Field, Japanese main attack force naval fighters and bombers swept through the Ewa Plain and Ewa shoreline on December 7, 1941 to attack the airfield prior to the bombing Pearl Harbor.
Recent museum and archive research now documents Ewa Field, then known in early 1942 as Naval Air Station Ewa and Naval Air Station Barbers Point, as providing the main aviation force of Navy and Marine planes, pilots and squadrons that heroically fought in the June, 1942 Battle of Midway. Many of the Ewa Field planes and pilots were lost in valiant air attacks on the large Japanese fleet. This climatic and decisive battle brought nearly full revenge for the Pearl Harbor attack as four Japanese aircraft carriers of the 1941 raid were sunk in just five minutes.
Today Midway is considered the most important naval battle in American history. In 2018 a major movie will be filmed on Oahu about the 1942 Battle of Midway.
On June 4, 2017 at Ewa Field we also commemorated the 75th Anniversary of the Midway battle and those lost from Ewa Field. Ewa Field symbolizes the phoenix rising from the 1941 ashes to in 1942 leading the United States to victory in the Pacific War.
Many local and national veterans and community organizations are requesting this very important 1941 attack site and 1942 Battle of Midway historic airfield be added to the WW-II Valor in the Pacific National Monument and made a National Historic Landmark.
The current Ewa Battlefield commemoration site property is being conveyed by the US Navy as surplus land through the Department of Interior handling the conveyance to the City as a future park.

Q: Maximum number of sides of a convex polygon Exactly 3 of the interior angles of a convex polygon are obtuse. What is the maximum number of sides?

A: We will show that the maximum number of sides is 6.
The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon of $n$ sides is $(n-2)180^{\circ}$. Hence the sum of the exterior angles is $n180^{\circ}-(n-2)180^{\circ}=360^{\circ}$. It follows that we can not have 4 or more obtuse exterior angles that is 4 or more acute interior angles.
Moreover, note there is a convex hexagon with angles:
$170^{\circ},170^{\circ},170^{\circ},70^{\circ},70^{\circ},70^{\circ}$.
Just glue three isosceles triangles with angles $170^{\circ},5^{\circ},5^{\circ}$ around an equilateral triangle (with side equal to the base of the isosceles triangles).

A: Hint 1:  If an interior angle is acute, the exterior angle is obtuse, and vice versa.
Hint 2:  What do the exterior angles of a convex polygon sum to?
Added later:  The answer to the OP's question can be $6$, $7$, or $\infty$, depending on the precise definitions of "convex" and "obtuse."
If the interior angles of a convex polygon are required to be strictly less than $180$ degrees, then the answer is $6$, as Robert Z's answer shows.
If interior angles of $180$ degrees are allowed, and these are considered obtuse (because $180\gt90$), then the answer is $7$:  Take, for example, a square, with $4$ right angles and designate any $3$ points along any of the sides of the square as additional vertices, each with an obtuse angle of $180$ degrees.  By Robert Z's argument (and/or the hints above), you can't do better than $7$.
Finally, if interior angles of $180$ degrees are allowed, but obtuse angles are required to be strictly between $90$ and $180$ degrees (which seems to be a standard definition of "obtuse"), then you can take any convex polygon with three obtuse angles and designate as many more points as you please along the perimeter as additional vertices, each with a (non-obtuse!) interior angle of $180$ degrees.  In this case, there is no upper bound on the number of sides, so we can say the answer is $\infty$.
In comments, the OP indicated that convexity does allow for interior angles of $180$ degrees but did not specify whether they are considered obtuse.  In either case, the answer $6$ is technically wrong for this definition.

Charles Donker prints for sale
We are pleased to represent the work of Charles Donker in America. His etchings are quite remarkable for their technical virtuosity and unique vision of the Dutch countryside. In keeping with the tradition of Rembrandt, Seghers and other 17th century Dutch etchers, Donker is inspired by where he lives and describes his homeland with great detail and delicacy. These prints present a special place in the world as seen through the eyes of a master craftsman.
The artist prints his own work and the editions are small, normally 20-30 impressions. Charles Donker's work is in the collection of many prominent museums including the Rijksmuseum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Fountation Custodia, Paris, The Metropolitan Museum, the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, and the Rembrandthuis Museum. The Rembrandthuis, in fact, produced an important catalog and exhibition of Donker's etchings in 2002-03. The catalog was authored by Eddy de Jongh and Peter Schatborn. Donker has had two exhibitions at the Institut Néerlandis in Paris (1975 and 1979). Further information about the artist is available on request. We can send you a more complete resume should you wish to have one.

Ironing is severe organisation. Clean and neatly-pressed clothes mirror effectiveness and professionalism and reliability, whether in school, at the workplace, or in a range of setups. There are 2 things you will certainly require to safeguard in making sure that your clothing are well-pressed at all times – a working flat iron and a space-saving, ergonomically created board for ironing.
Which ironing board should you opt for?
Because you require a flat, wide surface area for your clothing when ironing them, a strong yet light-weight ironing board is just as vital as picking an operating hot iron. Nowadays, they are available whether as a mobile kind or as a wall-mounted or integrated design. Portable ones may be stand alone or developed for table leading usage. These are made to be adaptable and flexible, allowing you to manually adjust the elevation and to carry or relocate them easily from one area to an additional.
A full-sized stand alone best iron board generally takes up also much area space, and proper storage space is commonly a challenge. This is why a wall surface ironing board frequently comes extremely suggested.
Unlike standalone boards, wall surface boards are usually built right into the wall surface and are designed to have their very own wall surface cupboards or racks for correct storage space. Thus, you only require to go down the board down when you are ironing, and to turn it back up right into its neat wall surface rack when you're done. This extremely efficient styling is constructed to maximize area space and make sure appropriate storage space, while enabling you the versatility you call for.
Many of these have adjustable height features to guarantee that you pick one of the most comfortable ironing board height. A comfy height maintains you from unneeded back and neck pressures as an outcome of improper pose while ironing. These boards, with their ergonomic, easy-to-use style, make certain ironing convenience so you can get even more clothes pushed in much less time. Various other helpful features as well watch out for include a curling iron storage shelf, built-in light, safety button, and additional storage area for spray containers and other products.
With a sturdy, lightweight, and flexible integrated ironing board, such as the Broane-NuTone Deluxe In Wall Surface Ironing Board, ironing will be even more of a comfortable, instead of overwhelming, task day after day.

Q: Fastest way to sum the upper triangle I feel like this is an recurring question: if there's a symmetric matrix whose diagonal is not all 0, how could I get the sum of the part of it that's above the diagonal as fast as possible?
Small working example:
a = (# + Transpose[#]) &[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {1000, 1000}]];

(Total[a, 2] - Tr[a])/2 // AbsoluteTiming (*{0.004000,721.277}*)

Sum[a[[i, j]], {i, 1, 1000}, {j, i + 1, 1000}] // AbsoluteTiming (*{1.254072,721.277}*)

The latter is so much slower than the former. But calculating the sum twice still seem to be a bit unnecessary, could it be faster?

A: I found this question quite interesting, so I thought I would collect the answers contributed in comments for future reference and to have the question appear as answered in search. I generated a slightly bigger matrix to play with, and minimally modified the code to render it independent of the size of the matrix. I also compared timings of each method to have a homogeneous set at least on my system (MMA 10.2 on Win7-64bit).
SeedRandom[23]
a = (# + Transpose[#])& [RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {5000, 5000}]];

If the matrix is symmetric, as was the case in the OP and in the example above, then taking advantage of its structure yields the fastest solution so far, already originally proposed by arax in the question:
(Total[a, 2] - Tr[a])/2 // RepeatedTiming
(* Out: {0.025, -1769.6} *)

In the general case of a non-symmetrical matrix, however, the above solution of course wouldn't work. The Toad proposed a very compact solution using UpperTriangularize. Timings show that Flatten is bad for speed; much more expedient is to use a levelspec option for Total.
Total@Flatten@UpperTriangularize[a, 1] // RepeatedTiming
Flatten@a; // RepeatedTiming

Total[UpperTriangularize[a, 1], 2] // RepeatedTiming

(* Out:
{0.338, -1769.6}
{0.20, Null}

{0.134, -1769.6}
*)

Similarly one could use LowerTriangularize to get the sum of the lower triangular portion of a non-symmetric matrix: Total[LowerTriangularize[a, -1], 2].

Kale then proposed a faster approach based on explicit part extraction. The version proposed in the comment actually sums the lower triangular members of the original matrix, which made no difference in the case of a symmetric matrix, but of course would matter in the general case. Two versions are presented here, for upper and lower triangles (which also required a slight adjustment to the Range used):
(* Upper triangular version *)
Total[a[[#, # + 1 ;; -1]] & /@ Range[1, Length[a]], 2] // RepeatedTiming
(* Out: {0.0940, -1769.6} *)

(* Lower triangular version *)
Total[a[[#, 1 ;; # - 1]] & /@ Range[1, Length[a]], 2] // RepeatedTiming
(* Out: {0.104, -1769.6} *)

Although faster in this case, the intermediate list of parts generated in this approach is ragged, which may lead to unpacking of packed arrays (see e.g. Leonid's discussion on the topic).

N.J. Evans proposed a simple modification to Kale's solution that yields a significantly faster method, by simply applying Total twice in a row, rather than using a levelspec:
Total[Total@a[[#, # + 1 ;; -1]] & /@ Range[1, Length[a]]] // RepeatedTiming
(* Out: {0.04, -1769.6} *)

This works exceedingly well for the part-extraction approach, where it may have to do with the fact that the outer Total is presented with the much simpler job of summing over a list, thanks to the inner Total, which may also have had the advantage of quick mapping.
In support of this hypothesis is also the fact that the same approach does not yield faster results in the *Triangularize approach.

Finally, the approach based on Sum presented in the OP as a slow comparison is, indeed, very slow:
Sum[a[[i, j]], {i, 1, Length[a]}, {j, i + 1, Length[a]}] // RepeatedTiming
(* Out: {18.3, -1769.6} *)

A: For a non-symmetric real matrix you can consider using LibraryLink to speed things up. It still won't be as fast as the Total/Tr answer, but it may be useful otherwise (call this C program SumUpperTriangle.c):
#include "WolframLibrary.h"

DLLEXPORT int SumUpperTriangle(WolframLibraryData libData, mint Argc, MArgument *Args, MArgument Res) {

 /* Variable declarations */

 int err = LIBRARY_NO_ERROR;

 MTensor in;
 mint const *in_dims;
 mreal *in_data;

 mreal sum;
 mint rows, row, cols, col;

 /* Code section */

 /* Get the input matrix */
 in = MArgument_getMTensor(Args[0]);
 in_dims = libData->MTensor_getDimensions(in);
 in_data = libData->MTensor_getRealData(in);

 rows = in_dims[0];
 cols = in_dims[1];
 sum = 0.0;
 for(row=0; row<rows; row++) {
  for(col=row+1; col<cols; col++) {

To compile this C code and use SumUpperTriangle as a Wolfram language function you can run the following code (call this code SumUpperTriangle.wl):
Needs["CCompilerDriver`"];
lib = CreateLibrary[{"SumUpperTriangle.c"}, "SumUpperTriangle" ];
SumUpperTriangle = LibraryFunctionLoad[lib, "SumUpperTriangle", {{Real, 2}}, Real ];

Now we can load the code above:
Get["SumUpperTriangle.wl"]

And compare it to the Total/Tr solution:
aa := (# + Transpose[#]) &[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {1000, 1000}]];
a = aa;
SumUpperTriangle[a] == (Total[a, 2] - Tr[a])/2
(* Gives: True *)

Here I am using := to define aa so that aa is different every time you call it. This is useful to avoid timings that include numerical caching results.
Now let's compare timings with the LibraryLink function:
Total[Table[a = aa; First[AbsoluteTiming[SumUpperTriangle[a]]], {100}]]
(* gives 0.32099 seconds on my machine *)

And the original solution:
Total[Table[a = aa; First[AbsoluteTiming[(Total[a, 2] - Tr[a])/2]], {100}]]
(* gives 0.102354 seconds on my machine *)

So the Total/Tr solution is still faster, but the SumUpperTriangle will work for any real matrix, symmetric or not. And SumUpperTriangle is of course faster than the Sum[...] approach...
