The Gödelian Puzzle Book: Puzzles, Paradoxes and Proofs (Paperback)
By Raymond M. Smullyan
These brand-new recreational logic puzzles provide entertaining variations on G del's incompleteness theorems, offering ingenious challenges related to infinity, truth and provability, undecidability, and other concepts. Created by the celebrated logician Raymond Smullyan, the puzzles require no background in formal logic and will delight readers of all ages.
The two-part selection of puzzles and paradoxes begins with examinations of the nature of infinity and some curious systems related to G del's theorem. The first three chapters of Part II contain generalized G del theorems. Symbolic logic is deferred until the last three chapters, which give explanations and examples of first-order arithmetic, Peano arithmetic, and a complete proof of G del's celebrated result involving statements that cannot be proved or disproved. The book also includes a lively look at decision theory, better known as recursion theory, which plays a vital role in computer science.
Raymond Smullyan received his PhD from Princeton University and taught at Dartmouth, Princeton, Indiana University, and New York's Lehman College. Best known for his mathematical and creative logic puzzles and games, he was also a concert pianist and a magician. He wrote over a dozen books of logic puzzles and texts on mathematical logic. Raymond Smullyan: The Merry Prankster Raymond Smullyan (1919-2017), mathematician, logician, magician, creator of extraordinary puzzles, philosopher, pianist, and man of many parts. The first Dover book by Raymond Smullyan was First-Order Logic (1995). Recent years have brought a number of his magical books of logic and math puzzles: The Lady or the Tiger (2009); Satan, Cantor and Infinity (2009); an original, never-before-published collection, King Arthur in Search of His Dog and Other Curious Puzzles (2010); and Set Theory and the Continuum Problem (with Melvin Fitting, also reprinted by Dover in 2010). More will be coming in subsequent years. In the Author's Own Words: Recently, someone asked me if I believed in astrology. He seemed somewhat puzzled when I explained that the reason I don't is that I'm a Gemini. Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements: they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong.' -- Raymond Smullyan

Letter to Martin Luther King Jr.
Thanks Sir, for making your dreams heard and for acting on them.
I have a dream, too. I don't want to be looked down on because of my race or gender, and thank God that I rarely am (to my knowledge), but I know that there are so many people who are. I have a dream, too, sir. A world filled with love, laughs, and peace. Aha, what a lovely painting that would be. A lovely,hopeful, unrealistic depiction of this world.
I am a pretty reflective person, always asking myself "Why?" Not only do I reflect on my actions, but those of other people as well. I frequently catch myself trying to find a good reason why we stop ourselves short of what we can achieve. Think of all the possibilities, but sometimes I feel as if I am making excuses for myself and others.
On Sunday, September 11, The Vizcaya Pavilion & Mansion's ballroom provided an elegant setting for the 2011 Debutante Ball season Champagne Sip event, hosted by the Eta Gamma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Each year, the members of Eta Gamma Omega host this elegant affair to honor the parents of prospective debutantes and escorts for supporting and encouraging their daughters' and sons' participation in the many activities necessary to ensure a successful ball season.
This year's event chairman Jillian Spears, expressed that as one of the culminating activities of the Debutante Ball Season, the Champagne Sip serves not only to highlight the importance of the role of the parents, but it is also the Eta Gamma Omega chapter's way of saying 'thank you' to those community members who have volunteered to participate as presenters in workshops and career panels, and who give support throughout the season.

**What it does**

Sets of stacks constructed by ustacks can be searched against a catalog produced by cstacks. In the case of a genetic map, stacks from the progeny would be matched against the catalog to determine which progeny contain which parental alleles.

--------

**Input files**

Output from denovo_map, refmap or cstacks/ustack

**Output files**

- XXX.tags.tsv file:

See `Stacks output description <http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu/stacks/manual/#files>`_

Notes: For the tags file, each stack will start in the file with a consensus sequence for the entire stack followed by the flags for that stack. Then, each individual read that was merged into that stack will follow. The next stack will start with another consensus sequence.

- XXX.snps.tsv file:

See `Stacks output description <http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu/stacks/manual/#files>`_

Notes: If a stack has two SNPs called within it, then there will be two lines in this file listing each one.

- XXX.alleles.tsv file:

See `Stacks output description <http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu/stacks/manual/#files>`_

- XXX.matches.tsv file:

See `Stacks output description <http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu/stacks/manual/#files>`_

Notes: Each line in this file records a match between a catalog locus and a locus in an individual, for a particular haplotype. The Batch ID plus the Catalog ID together represent a unique locus in the entire population, while the Sample ID and the Stack ID together represent a unique locus in an individual sample.

Q: I can't delete a row from MS access database from VB.net I'm trying to delete a row from MS database by following a YT tutorial but I got 2 kinds of errors. When I try this:
    Dim provider As String
    Dim dataFile As String
    Dim connString As String
    Dim myConnection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection

    provider = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="
        dataFile = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\PU\SEMESTER 4\Visual Programming\Hospital Databases\Patient DB.accdb"
    connString = provider & dataFile
    myConnection.ConnectionString = connString
    myConnection.Open()
    Dim str As String
    str = "Delete * from [Patient] Where [PatientID] = " & PatientID.ToString & ""
    Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(str, myConnection)

I got this error: "Malformed GUID in query expression '[PatientID]=DataGridViewTextBoxColumn { Name=PatientID, index=0 } '
So I used brackets as stated here so now it's like this:
str = "Delete * from [Patient] Where [PatientID] = [" & PatientID.ToString & "]"

But this gave an error: "No value given for one or more required parameters". When I replaced the brackets with single quotes I also get this error.
I tried this, this, and this but still got an error.
Idk what to do.
EDIT:
I did PatientID.ToString because I want to make it so that when a user clicks on an ID cell, it will get the ID without the user having to input anything. But apparently that was wrong so I made an inputbox and followed Mary's answer. But I got this error on the Execute... line:
"No value given for one or more required parameters"
I searched and most of them said to put single quotes for it to work. I did (^) and still got that error :( Did I call the sub in the wrong way?
    Private Sub DischargeToolStripMenuItem1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DischargeToolStripMenuItem1.Click
        Dim ID As Integer
        ID = InputBox("Enter the ID of the patient to be discharged", "Discharge")
        DeleteRecord(ID)
    End Sub

    Sub DeleteRecord(ID As Integer)
        Dim provider = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="
        Dim dataFile = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\PU\SEMESTER 4\Visual Programming\Hospital Databases\Patient DB.accdb"
        Dim connString = provider & dataFile
        Using myConnection As New OleDbConnection(connString),
                cmd As New OleDbCommand("Delete * from Patient Where PatientID = @ID", myConnection)
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@ID", OleDbType.Integer).Value = ID
            myConnection.Open()
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        End Using
    End Sub

A: Connections and commands need to be disposed. Using...End Using blocks will take care of closing connections as well as disposing connections and commands. In this code both the connection and command are included in the same block. Note the comma at the end of the first line of the Using.
Don't open the connection until the last possible moment, directly before the .Execute... line. Close the connection with the End Using right after that.
Always use parameters. With Access we use parameter names for ease of reading the code. Access pays no attention to the names. What is important is the order that the parameter appears in the sql query must match the order that the parameter is added to the parameters collection. I had to guess the datatype of the parameter. Check your database for the actual type.
Private Sub DeleteRecord(ID As Integer)
    Dim provider = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="
    Dim dataFile = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\PU\SEMESTER 4\Visual Programming\Hospital Databases\Patient DB.accdb"
    Dim connString = provider & dataFile
    Using myConnection As New OleDbConnection(connString),
            cmd As New OleDbCommand("Delete * from Patient Where PatientID = @ID", myConnection)
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ID", OleDbType.Integer).Value = ID
        myConnection.Open()
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
    End Using
End Sub

EDIT
User input should always be validated. A user may or may not enter something that can be converted to a number. Serveral datatypes have a .TryParse method to test with. .TryParse returns a Boolean so it fits right into an If statement. The first parameter string you want to test. The second parameter is a variable of the type you want to convert to. .TryParse will fill in the second variable with the converted value.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    'An InputBox always returns a String, not a number
    Dim ID = InputBox("Enter the ID of the patient to be discharged", "Discharge")
    Dim intID As Integer
    If Integer.TryParse(ID, intID) Then
        DeleteRecord(intID)
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid number")
    End If
End Sub

A: I think your problem is in the definition of datafile in that it is not reading the file name properly.  While I agree with others that using parameters is the best way to proceed, in the interim, try this:
Dim MyFile as string = "Patient DB.accdb"
Dim dataFile = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\PU\SEMESTER 4\Visual Programming\Hospital Databases\" & MyFile

Royal Navy Press Release


George Tannous, a former IRS agent has been given a three year prison sentence for his part in an investment scheme that conned victims of more than $8 million. Tannous entered a guilty plea in 2008 after his firm, Bidbay.com helped bilk money from investors. His guilty plea is for 1 count of conspiracy and 1 count of subscription to a false tax return.
Tannous will serve his sentence in federal prison. The sentence was handed down by US District Judge Dean D.Pregerson. The judge has also ordered Tannous to pay up the $8.8 million to the 218 investors he has cheated. Tannous is also guilty of concealing material facts in connection to the sale of investments in Bodbay.com Inc, AskGT.com Inc. and a few other companies.
George Tannous is from Lake View Terrace. Tannous served in the IRS till he left in 1993. He started a tax consulting company and then went into Bidbay. Tannous was president of the company which was in the process of developing an online auction website. The investors were cheated after they had been asked to invest in unregistered shares of Bidbay between 1999 and 2003. They had been led to believe that the company was in the process of being acquired by ebay Inc and this would lead their share prices to go up significantly. Ebay had no plans of doing so of course.
The investors also were not told about the fact that half their money was going as commissions to be paid to telemarketers whose job was to solicit investments. Tannous also conveniently omitted telling the investors that their money was helping fund his personal life styles too. He used $3 million for personal income, income which he failed to report in his income tax filings.
Adding to his list of crimes, Tannous also did not tell the investors that his co- conspirator in the crime, a De Elroy Beeler Jr, is a convicted felon who was awaiting sentence on fraud charges of another case and had served jail time between 2002 and 2005. Tannous had worked out this scheme with three co- conspirators.
"There is an unusual amount of activity where people are defaming my client," said Barry Sabahat, a lawyer for the firm of Moghaddami & Sadigh, AuctionDiner's legal representatives. "They are alleging that AuctionDiner and George Tannous are involved in criminal activities." George Tannous owns and operates AuctionDiner.
Sabahat said his firm would issue subpoenas over the next two weeks to AuctionWatch, AuctionCrotch and Mootropolis, three Web sites that offer their members online forums for discussing online-auction issues. Sabahat said he will requesting the companies to provide him with information that may link "nicknames" to users whose posts are allegedly defaming AuctionDiner. Sabahat said that his firm would be seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

Being inspired as the son of a science teacher, I put together this periodic table with elements of amazing learning experiences organized by solids, liquids, gases, radioactive elements and interactive elements.
The elements found on the left side of this table have been classified as "solids". The principal property shared between each of these elements is that they are tools that can be used by trainers and instructional designers – whether tangible, physical tools or virtual, online tools.
Some of these elements, like Microsoft Word (Wd) and YouTube (Yt) are ubiquitous. Some have gained traction over the past few years and once someone sees them in use, quickly moves to adopt them into their own training sessions, such as Kahoot (Kh) and PollEverywhere (Pe).
A few of these solids, most notably element 1, Soapbox (Sb), is a very recently discovered element, but could be the most important element to be discovered in a long time. More will be written about Sb in the coming weeks.
Practices designed to support knowledge and skill transfer.
Take the shape of the vessel (usually the organization or team) into which they are poured.
Can be frozen and locked into place as needed, then melted so that the shape can change and be adjusted as appropriate.
Practices such as deploying learning boosts (Lb), spaced learning (Sl) or supervisor support (Su) will all depend on the organizational culture, learners and management buy-in. They can all be powerful elements if they fit the context.
The elements down the middle in yellow are more gas-like in nature, concepts, models and theory that waft through the air of a training room.
Some of these elements, like the air we breathe, are invisible and odorless, but you'd definitely know it if they were suddenly vacuumed out of the training room.
Some of these elements, if not handled with care, become tinged with the sulfur-like smell of rotten eggs.
These elements in orange are some of the most powerful, yet also some of the most dangerous elements known to the world of learning and development. A little bit can go a long way, but if used improperly, these elements can be extremely combustible and can contaminate the very reputation of learning and development for years to come.
Lecture (Lc), PowerPoint (Pp) and post-training Smile Sheets (Sm) all have a well-deserved reputation for being overused and abused, creating toxic clouds that pour acid rain down on the very learners we're responsible for helping.
When used judiciously and with thoughtful intention, Icebreakers (Ib) can help illuminate the purpose of an entire presentation. If ordered with the time of day in mind, Snacks (Sn) such as vegetables and nuts can provide new sources of energy.
Along the bottom of this periodic table are a series of interactive elements. While you may look at these and see a simple set of social media sites, there's more than meets the eye. Click on the blue lettering and you'll be taken through a portal to a variety of different places on the world wide web.
Introducing elements of social media into a learning experience is a way to keep the learning going – through blogs on a WordPress (Wp) site, posting slides on Slideshare (Sh) or challenging participants to participate in topical Twitter (Tw)-based tweet chats.
There's a walk through Endurance Learning's elements of amazing learning experiences. What elements (and/or states of matter for these elements) do you think are missing from this periodic table?

Review: BIC Gelocity, Gel Ink, 0.7mm
Let's be real; the BIC Gelocity is pretty much just a re-branding of BIC's old Velocity Gel pen. However, there are a few differences worth noting. First and foremost, the refill inside the pen seems to have been updated. The ink flow is no longer as inconsistent, and it runs a bit smoother – and wetter – than the old Velocity Gel. But like its predecessor, the Gelocity's ink still smears quite heavily.
There are also some minor aesthetic updates. The knock has been turned white, the trim is a lighter gray, and the grip is maybe a tiny bit softer. But beyond that, it's hard to tell the two pens apart.
It's fair to say that it's an improvement, albeit a minor one, but there's nothing here that elevates the Gelocity above other mediocre "premium plastic" pens. It's fine. It'll do the job. Still, better options are available.

Review: BIC Bu3 Grip, Ballpoint Ink, 1.0mm
by Andrew September 2, 2016 August 31, 2016
In most aspects the BIC Bu3 Grip is a standard, if not slightly-below-average, ballpoint pen. The ink flow is on the sluggish side, it has a tendency to skip in and out while writing, and there's more ink blobbing and smearing than one should expect from a $1 pen. On these points alone, I'd hesitate to recommend this pen to anyone, but there's a little button on the side of the BU3 that pushes it into the "I'd never want to pick this pen up ever again" category.
The button, located near the clip, acts as a retracting mechanism. The tip still ejects by clicking a knock at the top of the pen, like you'd typically expect, but you can only retract the pen's tip by pushing the button. Why? The Bu3's packaging states that it's "for added convenience," but it really isn't convenient at all. I've seen similar retracting mechanisms that actually do serve some purpose – the Pilot Down Force comes to mind – but the Bu3's retracting mechanism is, at best, mildly annoying.
Really, I'm having trouble finding good things to say about this pen. The grip is somewhat comfortable, I guess, but that's hardly redeemable. So, unless you have no other options, my suggestion is to just avoid the BIC Bu3 Grip.

Five Pens to Try – May 2016 Update
by Andrew May 27, 2016 May 28, 2016
This week, Pens and Junk reaches two milestones: 100 posts and 25,000 page views. To many it may be a relatively minor accomplishment, but I thought it worth commemorating with a quick look back. After all, I wrote my original Top Five list after reviewing my first 25 pens back in October of last year, and things have changed a lot since then – keen observers will notice that only one pen has retained its spot on this list.
So, to cut the waffling short, here are the five pens that you should be checking out:
1. For Your Pen Cup: Pentel Energel Deluxe RTX
The Pentel Energel is relatively inexpensive, durable, comfortable, and it has an ink that's both smooth and dark. This is really a great pen to have laying about in your work area, and it comes in a variety of colors and tip sizes. And if you really like this pen, you can get a stainless steel version for under $10.
2. Your "Nice" Pen: Retro 51 Tornado
It's safe to assume that the Retro 51 Tornado is a mainstay in my collection. Since buying my first one in August of last year, I've gotten three more for myself and given a few more as gifts. Tons of different designs are available, and it's a great option if you're thinking about upgrading your writing experience. And while many nicer pens go for $100 or more, you can get a Tornado for as little as $20.
3. Your On-The-Move Pen: Fisher Cap-O-Matic Space Pen
If you need a compact pen that can write in variety of situations, the Fisher Cap-O-Matic is the way to go. The pressurized Space Pen ink cartridge will write upside-down on wet paper, if you need it to. Though, I still really like my Tombow Airpress, the slim, metal body of the Cap-O-Matic makes it a bit more pocket friendly.
4. Your Everyday Writer: BIC Intensity
With its porous-point tip, the BIC Intensity produces crisp lines that will make anybody's handwriting look better. I almost always have one of these pens at hand. If you can't find the Intensity, the Sharpie Pen is a great alternative, though it's slightly less durable.
5. A Pen to Fix Your Mistakes: Pilot Frixion
Let's face it, most erasable pens on the market are pure garbage. Pilot, on the other hand, has really broken the mould with the heat-activated ink inside the Frixion. The ink comes smooth and dark, and it erases like a dream. If you always wanted to do your math homework in pen, this is for you.
So that's it. I hope you were able to find something interesting and something new. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at atb@pensandjunk.com or leave a comment below.

Review: BIC Orange, Ballpoint, 0.8mm
If you pick up a BIC Orange today, it will probably feel very familiar. Introduced in 1961, it isn't a major departure from its 1950s ballpoint predecessor, the BIC Cristal (the most ubiquitous pen in the world). In comparison, the Orange's cap is slightly longer, the hexagonal barrel is rounded-off a bit near one end, and, of course, the pen's barrel is orange instead of clear. The only major difference is that the Orange has a finer point – 0.8mm, as opposed to the 1.0mm of the Cristal.
It's a reliable and capable pen, and it's exactly what you'd expect an economy-priced ballpoint to be. Really, there's nothing notable about the writing experience. Search around the internet, however, and you'll find that the Orange has its fair share devotees. For example, Lou Antonelli writes fondly of the pen on his blog, This Way to Texas, reminiscing of the time he spent using it as a child, learning to read and write. And if Amazon product reviews are anything to go by, a lot of people seem to share this nostalgia.
Unfortunately, the Orange was discontinued in the U.S. in 2000 due to "changes in market conditions," according to an e-mail from BIC. However, it is still available pretty much everywhere else in the world. So if you're an American who finds that the Orange stirs up the old emotions, you can pick up a pack on your next trip to Canada. Otherwise, if you're just looking for a cheap ballpoint with a finer tip, it's a lot easier to get your hands on a 0.8mm BIC Round Stic.

Review: BIC Cristal, Ballpoint, 1.0mm
by Andrew February 22, 2016 February 21, 2016
With over 100 billion pens produced since 1950, the BIC Cristal is the most popular – or, at least, most common – pen in the world. It's the king of the office supply closet and the original economy pen, manufactured and sold worldwide. The Cristal even made it into the Museum of Modern Art for being a classic example of efficient, industrial design. It's inexpensive and available everywhere, but, in terms of performance, the Cristal is a mixed bag.
It's a reliable pen that always writes when you pick it up, but the thin, plastic barrel becomes very uncomfortable to hold after writing more than a few sentences. For a ballpoint pen, the ink is nice and dark, but it's also very sluggish. It often feels like writing with syrup. But for the price – a dozen pens for a couple bucks – it's difficult to complain too much.
Whether you love it or hate it, the BIC Cristal is an icon that's here to stay. It's easy to find a better pen by pending a few extra bucks, but it's impressive that BIC can deliver a functional product for such a low cost. The Cristal may never be my go-to pen, but it has my respect nevertheless.
A history of the BIC Cristal, produced by BIC at the Cristal's 60th anniversary. It's an interesting read, especially if you want to see Salvador Dali holding a Cristal.
A review at Scribomechanica summarizes the Cristal really well: you can do better with other pens, but that's not the point. The point is that the Cristal is really inexpensive, yet reliable.
The review at The Pen Addict is very positive towards the Cristal, with his primary complaint being the white-space within the lines of ink.

Star Gossage's Biography
New Generation 2014
Ngati Manuhiri/Wai, Ngati Ruanui
Star Gossage is a painter of Ngati Manuhiri/Wai, Ngati Ruanui, French, English and Portuguese descent. Alongside painting, her practice includes theatre, film-making, poetry and sculpture.
Star Gossage (b. 1973) is of Ngati Manuhiri/Wai, Ngati Ruanui, French, English and Portuguese descent. She gained a Diploma of Fine Arts from Otago Polytechnic School of Art in 1995 and, alongside painting, her practice includes theatre, film-making, poetry and sculpture.
Gossage's ancestral land and family home is at Pakiri Beach north of Auckland. It is her turangawaewae; her physical, emotional and spiritual home. Her colour palette refers to the elemental forces of earth, sea and sky and her paints are often mixed with local clay, dirt, and lime to achieve the hues and textures she requires.
Kikorangi Kotare / Kingfisher Blue' 2014 installation, Tim Melville Gallery. Photo: Kallan MacLeod
The figures that inhabit Gossage's work are compositions of whanau and whakapapa. Gossage explains: "I want [my figures] more like spirits than humans. I just want the essence of things rather than straight paintings of people." As Mark Amery writes: "Star Gossage paints ghosts; beautiful faces from dreams, angel-like apparitions imbued with collected memory and ancestry ... there's no innocence in the eyes of figures; they feel soaked in both love and sadness, like weathered posts standing tall. The pupils of the eyes bore through you, as if demanding that their stories be remembered."
Gossage's painting style references European movements such as expressionism, impressionism and surrealism but it is Maori knowledge systems that are most deeply embedded in her work. "I believe in Maori ways, the ways I suppose I've been taught by my own family, and I believe you don't have to explain you're Maori, you just are. In whatever you do it comes out anyway."
Gossage's work is held in collections including Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, James Wallace Arts Trust and University of Auckland. Star Gossage is a 2014 Arts Foundation New Generation Award recipient.

I pretty much do not care for all digital on a console for some reason.
On PC i am all digital but thats also part because of STEAM. STEAM just got these great deals that make geames very cheap.
On consoles something like that is rather uncommon even rare.
In addition to that i will buy like 5 games for my WiiU within the first year and don't really see the need to be all digital just for that.
Nah, I dont see a reason why to. Not only because I enjoy having an actual collection of games but also because of the prices.
I have 25+ Wii U games now and basically all, with the exception of Lego City Undercover: Limited Edition and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate that was 30GBP, have cost between 12 and 25 GBP. Digital prices are just too high, on every platform. (Well, except for PC/Mac, i guess. At least regarding most games. But then again I only buy humble bundles and such on the iMac). Prices are really low on the iOS too.
Not yet. I'll probably go all digital once we see some substantial sales and account based downloads. Until then, I wont be buying any retail title digitally.
All digital here. No fears and no regrets. Initially problems with downloading, but most of the bugs seem to have been ironed out with the last system update. Prices are nicely offset by instantly downloadable codes from GAME (though these only apply to Nintendo published titles) and some publishers discounting games or putting them on sale.
Physical for now, as I get some sick thrill out of actually holding my games in my hands, but I'm not entirely opposed to digital, and would easily buy a digital only retail title.
I'd probably go all digital if my account wasn't tied to my console. Also I get rather annoyed that the majority of retail games on the eShop seem to be more expensive then buying it on disc. You'd think that since the games doesn't come with a plastic casing, a paper booklet and a disc, that it would be slightly cheaper on the eShop... But not in Nintendo's case.
Dear people, can't loose your Digital Downloads AT ALL while your RETAIL purchases may be lost if you scratch your disk.
3. Less stress on your Wii U Drive - It is known that disk drives on consoles are the weakest part.
4. You can't Loose your games e.g. (they can't be stolen). They are lost only if you loose your console.
save your digital purchases (downloads) for a descent price.
4. Digital Games won't include shiny Manual that comes with Retail product.
I've decided to go 70% vs 30% in favor of Digital Downloads.
I'd rather have discs for my games, but I love having digital downloads from the Virtual Console.
Currently playing: Smash Bros. 3DS, Xenoblade Chronicles, Alpha Sapphire.
Attempting to guide nephew through Skyward Sword. He keeps getting stuck.
I have. The only games I have on disc are Nintendo Land and COD, because I got NL free, and COD was only on disc.
One reason why I go digital, is because I get things on release day, so it will cost the same. I don't care for the case or disc, and Nintendo gives 10% back which beats both GameStop and Best Buy reward programs combined.
its mest up that I dont get 10% off just because Nintendo didnt have enough Black Wii U's at launch.
I haven't gone digital and don't plan to. My thought on physical copies or digital copies is that if I can't hold my purchases then in a way I don't own them.
I could go Super Sonic!
The L in BlackNinja is a capital i.
I'm pretty interested in digital content in the WiiWare/Virtual Console style. I bought A LOT of games for the original Wii this way (in fact, that was mostly what I used mine for). I'm still not ready to do it with full console games. I like having the game discs, boxes, etc. I like being able to take the game disc over to a friend's house (though I have drug my consoles with me on numerous occasions). I don't like having to wait for a download. I would definitely consider full retail games if they had good sales and were games I was interested in. I bought at least a couple on Xbox 360.
Where Nintendo is going to get me is with the 3DS. Having the games stored on my SD card is just so much more convenient then dragging around a pocket full of 3DS game cards. I don't see myself going full digital there either but the option is a lot more appealing.
I think we still have a way to go (in terms of internet speed and storage capacity) before console gaming becomes appealing as a digital only experience. Nintendo's approach to their digital content is certainly a lot more appealing than what Microsoft plans to do though.

MIC star Louise Thompson shocks fans with new pic!
Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson always look beautiful but fans have been noticing that the 26-year-olds face looks a little different.
On Monday morning, Ms Thompson shared the below snap on Instagram donning a Girl Gang tee, beanie, bright eyes and a smile and users were quick to react.
Now decided to ask an expert for their opinion on the matter – none other than Dr Esho from E4's BodyFixers.
Made In Chelsea's Stephanie Pratt EXPOSES Louise Thompson for 'cheating' on her boyfriend!
Whether it's surgery, nifty contouring or just weird lighting, Ms Thompson still looks fabulous.
'Bore the f*ck off!'; Charlotte Crosby is NOT happy with Louise Thompson's lip filler comments!
Yeah, we can totally relate to that!

It's getting to the point were we're not sure who is more despicable, Jeff Dachis from OneDrop or Kim Blickenstaff from Tandem (NASDAQ: TNDM). Of the two we'd have to say that at least Mr. Dachis and OneDrop have noble intentions. As we noted the other day while we aren't fans of self-reported data combined with fuzzy math we do believe that engaged patients who use the OneDrop system are being helped.
Mr. Blickenstaff on the other hand makes a big deal that his salary has fallen to just $1. This is a complete sham . . .

MSC starts the process to build a new cruise terminal in Barcelona
MSC Cruises has requested a concession to build and manage a cruise terminal in the Port of Barcelona that will be designed by the architect Ricardo Bofill and that would come into operation in 2021.
With the project, MSC Cruises seeks to boost its percentage of base-port passengers, those who start and end the cruise in Barcelona and, therefore, make a greater economic contribution to the city.
The company wants many of the cruise passengers who currently only make a stop in one day in the city to become passengers of the base port thanks to the facilities that will offer the new terminal.
The concession request sent to the Port of Barcelona, which is expected to begin the processing of this petition shortly, is about a space located on the Adossat pier and for a term of 30 years.
The Port of Barcelona has six cruise terminals: four at the dock for large ships and two at the World Trade Center for smaller boats, and a seventh one under construction. Barcelona last year received a total of 2.6 million cruise passengers from its facilities and is the first cruise port in Europe and the Mediterranean and fourth world port.
Our target it´s to be the best car service in Barcelona

The world's most luxurious cruise stops in Barcelona
Regent Seven Seas Explorer Barcelona
In the South Terminal Dock World Trade Center -nothing to do with the big quantity of Adossat– cruise passengers, a private chauffeur leaves walk from 'Regent Seven Seas Explorer' two tourists with powerful aspect. Smile. Not for less. He confesses that throughout his career he had never taken such a juicy tip as he gave recently an American cruise passengers of the same company: 2,500 euros after take to a party in the south of France, at the expense of their free hours. The joy of billfold is typical of luxury cruise ships that dock in Barcelona, a market segment which is rarely discussed but moves million euros in the city. They are the most searched for hotels, tour operators and customer services. The 'Explorer', which has docked around the city Friday, blunts in the Champions League seaworthy. Opened last July by the princes of Monaco, it has emerged as the most luxurious cruise ship in the world.
The elite vacation at sea is not measured in size or number of attractions on board, but in service and emotions. Many giant supercruises from less than a thousand euros per week and Barcelona are frequent passenger-art, modern, full of restaurants and entertainment but popular and overcrowded and hyperactivity. The glamor on board, however, results in terms of space, top gastronomy, comfort and exclusivity.
They are usually small format, although the new vessel is medium in size but with the highest ratio of space per passenger in the world (other ships carrying 56,000 tons travelers even triple) and carries a crew member for every 1.3 passengers. A deployment to sweeten the lives of their 750 guests, who usually pay 4,000 to 5,000 euros per week, except for specific offers, account Carme Bigas, commercial director of Star Class-A world cruise, representative in Spain of this and most shipping high-end.
The visit of the new ship, which has other siblings who also flock to the city, is more than just one day. If in 2013, as reported by the newspaper, the port hosted 120 scales luxury categories (companies like Regent Seven Seas, SeaDream Yacht Club, Silversea, Crystal, Cunard, Seabourn Hapag-Lloyd or …) and -a degree below- Upper Premium or Premium (Azamara, Celebrity, Holland America, Oceania, Paul Gauguin, Princess and other …), this year the figure will rise to 191 scales. They moved more than 383,000 cruise passengers, as part of the more than 2.6 million passengers expected in the Catalan capital, sources said Port of Barcelona.
76 ELITIST SCALES
In the most elite segment will be 76 stopovers and 62,000 passengers. A 'silent' human flow because being smaller boats do not perceive their landings in the bustle of the port, and because most tours or hire private assistance. Some perform a scale of hours, others spend the night in the port, and often begin or end route in the city, which means customers spend several nights in the city. In the case of Regent, which is the only one with an integral whole with no added charges included (premium drinks, all especializades restaurants, gratuities, taxes, various excursions, fitness classes, culinary workshops, wifi all the way …) the package may include up to three nights of overnight stays, explains Gabriella Fonzo, director of Sales for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
What do the luxury passengers calling at Barcelona? Friday, those of the 'Explorer' had free tours of 3 to 7.5 hours by Gòtic routes, jewelry Gaudi, local icons or bodegas Torres or Jean Leon. But there were also private options to go with the chef of the ship Santa Caterina market and the Boqueria, and finish devouring a menu of two Michelin stars in the Àbac restaurant.
On the way back, and heading to the scale of Ibiza (Saturday) or the Italian coast have time to soak in the infinity pool that looks out over the stern (apart from the solarium), to relax in their loungers-(with hood included), watch the sunset from the Observation lounge with a drink, consult the 24 hours library and video library, take cooking classes in his 18 seasons with stove practices, contemplate 2,500 artworks on board (also Picasso and Chagall), participate in an outdoor barbecue in a casual meal at the grill by the pool, get a massage (treatments are not included), do yoga, listening to live music in the Meridian Lounge, sing karaoke or loose on the dance floor of the Explorer Lounge, see their own theater productions or without further and possibly the best, contemplate the sea from the balcony of the suite (from 28 square meters), with the plus a stocked minibar and liquor one demande.
The good life on board luxury cruise has one of its magnets on the tablecloths. Here in international version (Compass Rose), or specialized French, meat or Asian cuisine with a VIP area for those staying at higher levels. Special mention millionaires guests palatial Regent Suite of 412 square meters, about 10,000 euros a day for two people, including up to the antidote of the extra kilos (personal trainer) and transfers.

Home/canada/Super agent Boras hammers Blue Jays for their "Blue Flu"
Super agent Boras hammers Blue Jays for their "Blue Flu"
canada November 8, 2018 canada, Sport
CARLSBAD, Calif. "The most powerful player agent in Baseball, Scott Boras, went throughout the birdhood scene during his annual media session at the General Managers' Meetings on Wednesday, placing Blue Jays in her cross hair and criticizing the organization for how it has done business.
As he has done earlier, Boras's MLB team ended up believing he did not make enough (in his eyes) to win – that is, spending a lot of money – and severely criticized teams that he believes have wrongly begun a rebuild / refueling route , as he says has pushed away fans. Jays had the sharpest fall in the presence of all teams in the last season.
"Baseball fans have clearly rejected the voluntary approach that owners have made where they are not competitive," says Boras, who expects Jays to start Aaron Sanchez as one of his customers. "We have 17 teams in baseball where the attendance has dropped – 17 out of 30. We have six venues where they had the lowest attendance of their stadium history. We had a total decline in attendance of about 4%. Now, some of the things we heard if this was due to weather, but the two biggest drops in attendance, in over 800,000 fans, have been in domed stadiums – Toronto and Miami. "
Boras described how a team accepts mediocrity in MLB as "the competitive cancer that dominated our game" in 2018. Again, he addressed his anger against the Blue Jays organization.
"Toronto is a wonderful city, it has been a good franchise, they have attracted over three million fans, but they have lost almost a third of their fan base due to the" blue flu "to not get attractive players that fans find interesting to his market, he said.
Jays pulled 3,203,886 fans to Rogers Center in the 2017 season (after two consecutive seasons to make playoffs) and scored 2,325,281 this season, about 11,000 fewer per game – the strongest decline in the majors this year ..
Boras said that some franchises must stop motivating to lose (even in a remodeling) and start rewarding teams that win through draft and other development incentives.
"The voluntary methods that are currently in place and that the owners apply and that the game works, disappears the fans clearly," he said.
Boras was asked by Toronto Sun what his answer would be if Blue Jays told him that if they spend less money now because they are in the process of reconstruction and there is no need to try to land the highest level free agents at this time Boras compared this setting to a hitter who decided he would not play much the first three months of the season because he wants to "stand" for the rest of the year. The message is: Players always go out, some franchises do not.
"It's not going well in the storage space," Boras said. "Players have a duty to perform every year and perform at the highest level, and so do teams. And we need a system that exactly addresses that problem.
"We have to create a performance model that corresponds to what we need from the players," Boras continued. "We have to do it with the owners in the amount of reward to win. If there is a reward for winning, I guarantee that they will do things differently."
Boras has traditionally had a problem with Blue Jay's headquarters.

The riskiest time to get bitten by a Zika-carrying mosquito is during the first trimester, the CDC's new report shows.
So far New Jersey has had 238 people with the infection - but so far, no local transmission. That's because a species of mosquito that could (in theory) survive here hasn't expanded its territory this far north.
Nationally, 1,617 pregnant women in the United States and the District of Columbia have reported infection. Overall cases within the states now total 5,182. Nearly all are travel-related, with only two small pockets of local transmission in Florida and Texas.
Babies with Zika birth defects have been born in 44 states in the past year.
Babies who appear to be normal at birth can display birth defects later, including microcephaly, in which brain growth is stunted. Those problems include swallowing problems and difficulty using limbs.
Zika-affected babies have needed about $4 million in treatment each; their lifetime total might hit $10 million apiece.
The CDC cautioned that its advice remains as crucial as ever: Pregnant women should avoid traveling to regions of the world where Zika is prevalent, and any male partner who has traveled to those regions should use condoms or abstinence throughout his partners' pregnancy.
"Zika is still with us," said Anne Schuchat, Acting Director of the CDC. "This devastating outbreak is far from over."
The New Jersey Department of Health continues to maintain a Zika hotline that is available 24 hours a day, at 800-962-1253.

            return response()->json($json_data);
    }

A: In the second line of your viewModal() function, you are placing a return false; statement. "The return statement ends function execution and specifies a value to be returned to the function caller." From Mozilla docs. That's why the API call is never executing.
