Save the world in the best way possible in our review of City Tuesday
Posted by Charlotte on the 25th of September 2012
There's not a person alive that doesn't love the quaint comedy of the classic Groundhog Day, so when Chris Zukowski of Return to Adventure Mountain announced the release of their new independently produced game City Tuesday based around the concept of the time-loop, we had to give it a look.
City Tuesday gives the player five minutes to prevent a disaster; there's a suspicious trench coated individual laying bombs throughout town, if you don't track down all the bombs you're stuck reliving the same five minutes before the bombs go off again, and again, and again.
Now there definitely are not enough time loop-centric games out there, but thankfully they are all pretty powerful games like Flower, Sun and Rain, Majora's Mask or Shadow of Memories, and so like these brilliant games, in order to save the day, and all of the lives of the town you have to observe the goings on of everyone and everything around you, manipulating certain aspects to reach your goals.
City Tuesday is an open world platformer that allows you to drop in and out of certain areas of the town including the financial district and train station to hunt out bombs with a variety of different puzzles. What is so brilliant about City Tuesday is that the puzzles given to you are all unique and distinctive, no two bombs are discovered in the same way, and discovering the solutions to each problem is where the fun emerges, after all, it's not as easy as simply digging all of them out of the trash.
What is perhaps so striking about City Tuesday is its unique graphics and sound design, each character looks as though they have jumped out of a toilet sign and walked around performing their daily tasks, despite each man, woman and child looking so similar, thanks to the injection of unique and comedic conversations that can be evoked with each inhabitant of City Tuesday, the game blossoms with charm.
City Tuesday looks gorgeous, and its time loop puzzle mechanic works fantastically in the open world that has been created, but just as you get out of the tutorial state, and get into the meat of the game it finishes. That said it's one of the best Indie games we've played in a while, after all, not every game has Gérard Depardieu feature, no really, find him!
City Tuesday is available now on the Xbox Live Indie Game Marketplace for a mere 80 Microsoft Points, whilst it does prematurely end, it's most definitely worth a play.

Robots Arriving at Stop & Shop Supermarkets
Nearly 500 robots will be hitting the aisles of Giant Food Stores and Stop & Shop supermarkets.
Nearly 500 robots will be hitting the aisles of Giant Food Stores and Stop & Shop supermarkets as part of a partnership between parent Ahold Delhaize's USA's Retail Business Services division and Badger Technologies.
The rollout, which Ahold Delhaize officials said was one of the largest such deployments in the U.S., follows a successful pilot program conducted over the past year. The robots—which stand 7 feet tall and are outfitted with googly eyes and a name tag reading "Marty"—are deployed to identify hazards such as liquid, powder and bulk food spills, and they provide reporting that enables corrective action. The company said the tests with Marty improved in-store efficiency and safety, mitigated risk by spills, and allowed associates to spend more time serving and interacting with customers.
Nicholasville, Ky.-based Badger Technologies, a division of Jabil that makes the robots, said they are also capable of performing shelf-scanning and inventory tasks, as well as being able to alert customers to use caution and inform associates when hazards need to be resolved.
A Retail Business Services spokeswoman told WGB that the robots for now will be focused on operations tasks such as monitoring stores for spills, and that additional uses will continue to be evaluated.
"As part of our continued focus on technology transformation, we're pleased to support one of the most significant deployments of robotics innovation in the grocery retail industry," Paul Scorza, EVP and chief information officer of Retail Business Services, said in a statement. "Several companies in the grocery retail space have recently begun testing or using in-store robots—something Retail Business Services and the local brands we serve have been doing for some time. We're pleased to support the Giant/Martin's and Stop & Shop brands as they now lead the industry from test to large-scale usage of robots and to see the benefits the technology continues to drive for their businesses."
"We are excited to be part of this industry-leading rollout of fully autonomous robots that collect safety data while traversing retail stores," added Frederic McCoy, SVP of Jabil Retail. "Real-time hazard alerts empower stores to resolve incidents like spills, as well as improve operations."
The deployment of robots at Giant and Stop & Shop is now underway and will continue through the early part of 2019. Other Ahold Delhaize USA brands continue to test with autonomous robots in select stores.

Ethiopia's Tigray disaster: Fears of a march into guerrilla battle
Posted By admin Posted On November 27, 2020
The regional executive in Tigray has a magnificent force
After being ensconced in power in Ethiopia's northern Tigray vicinity for virtually three many years, the Tigray americans's Liberation entrance (TPLF) could be making ready to come to the mountains to launch a guerrilla conflict towards the federal govt.
however the Ethiopian armed forces believes that it could actually prevent this from occurring throughout the offensive it launched on 4 November to oust the TPLF and arrest greater than 70 of its leaders and army officers.
They encompass veterans of the 17-12 months guerrilla battle that resulted in the TPLF seizing energy in the federal capital, Addis Ababa, in 1991 and who then controlled the country's defense force and intelligence capabilities until major Minister Abiy Ahmed purged them when he took workplace in 2018. He accused them of being repressive and corrupt – charges they deny.
Having retreated to their strongholds in Tigray while Mr Abiy based his control over the rest of Ethiopia, earlier this month they seized manage of a key federal armed forces base – which is part of the Northern Command – discovered close Tigray's capital, Mekelle, curiously without much resistance.
'ready to die'
The foreign disaster community (ICG), a non-governmental corporation which focuses on battle-prevention, described it as the federal armed forces's biggest regional military command.
Tigray's mountainous panorama makes it conducive for guerrilla war
The TPLF seized an array of weapons, including rockets and missiles, although the Ethiopian military nevertheless has appreciable air vigour, together with fighter jets and helicopter gunships.
Their operation got here after Mr Abiy's executive determined to redirect funding far from the Tigray management, accusing them of retaining an "illegal" election for the regional legislature in September, instead of abiding by a federal resolution to put off all polls because of coronavirus.
"on account of the changed political dynamics over the last two years, there was tremendous recruitment and working towards in Tigray"", supply: William Davison, supply description: Ethiopia analyst, picture: The Tigray region's special police forces
TPLF officials say they took the elements of the Northern Command as a result of they believed that federal intervention turned into drawing close. Mr Abiy responded via accusing the TPLF of crossing the "ultimate pink line", and ordered air strikes and the deployment of troops to Tigray.
Twenty-two days into the conflict, Mr Abiy says the military is now launching the "final part" of its operation in Tigray to take manage of Mekelle, which might be over in the "coming days".
however TPLF leader Debretsion Gebremichael has been defiant, telling AFP prior in the week: "we're americans of principle and ready to die in defence of our appropriate to administer our area."
Which side has more warring parties?
ICG Ethiopia analyst William Davison says the TPLF can be capable of name on more than 200,000 opponents – from militias in villages to particular forces within the regional govt.
"as a result of the modified political dynamics over the last two years, there was gigantic recruitment and working towards in Tigray," he advised the BBC.
Amhara militiamen had been combating on the facet of the Ethiopian army in Tigray
The ICG doesn't provide an estimate of the energy of the Ethiopian armed forces, however Reuters news company quotes the Janes protection data neighborhood as saying that it has round 140,000 energetic personnel, most of them in the army.
If these estimates are correct, the Ethiopian armed forces may also have fewer troopers than the TPLF, however can bolster its numbers by way of drawing on the special forces of other regional governments – Ethiopian legislations allows each and every of them to have these paramilitary gadgets to deliver security inside their territory.
enormously, special forces from the Amhara regional government – which has a long-running land dispute with Tigray – helped federal troops at ease territory in western Tigray when the conflict started.
"within the west, joint federal and Amhara control may be greater dependent because those forces outnumbered and overpowered native Tigray forces," talked about Mr Davison.
"There are additionally extra flat areas in the west, giving a traditional military more abilities," he referred to, including that this turned into unlike the terrain within the "core" of Tigray, around cities in the east, like Mekelle, the place it become rugged and mountainous, making it extra conducive for guerrilla battle.
Tigray 'blockaded'
Arhe Hamednaca, who took half in guerrilla wars towards old Ethiopian governments and went on to turn into an MP in Sweden, talked about the offensive in the west had also been aimed at securing the border with Sudan.
He observed this was essential – to keep away from the TPLF from establishing bases there because it had carried out when it fought the Marxist regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam 29 years in the past.
"The simplest manner for the TPLF to get away and to get clean resources is through Sudan," he stated.
Map of Tigray region
moreover, there's also no outlet to the pink Sea via Eritrea, as there changed into in the 1980s, when Eritrea forces have been allied with the TPLF against Mengistu.
major Minister Abiy has develop into a staunch ally of Eritrea's President Isaias Afwerki, who fought a bitter border conflict with the Ethiopia, when it became below TPLF manage.
"instances have changed. The TPLF's provide routes don't seem to be flowing, and to its north is President Isaias Afwerki's Eritrea, its principle enemy," BBC Tigrinya editor Samuel Ghebhrehiwet observed.
greater on the Tigray crisis:
several sources in Eritrea have informed the BBC that Ethiopian troops had been crossing the border to regroup and to treat their wounded in military hospitals – notwithstanding each governments deny Eritrean involvement within the Tigrayan conflict.
"Tigray is blockaded. The TPLF can't sustain a standard battle," Mr Davison pointed out.
but that doesn't always mean that federal forces may have the short victory they hope for.
Mr Arhe notes that there are a large number of examples of guerrilla warring parties taking over improved armed opponents.
"The americans had all styles of drones and fighter jets in Afghanistan, but the Taliban survived," he noted.
"The Houthi rebels in Yemen have survived UAE and Saudi weapon superiority."
Mr Davison spoke of that while federal troops were advancing towards Mekelle, it was doubtful what number of towns and cities they'd truly taken control of along the style and the way many that they had just passed through.
Who will Tigrayans again?
both way, many Tigrayan warring parties may finally retreat to villages and surrounding mountains to put together for a guerrilla warfare that may get hold of big public guide, he added.
"although federal officers claim the contrary, many Tigrayans seem to oppose the intervention as a result of they accept as true with it is to remove a legitimately elected regional executive," Mr Davison referred to.
there was in a surge in Tigrayan nationalism in contemporary years
in addition, they commonly assist the federal device that the TPLF helped delivered after it took vigour in Addis Ababa in 1991, because the ideal option to offer protection to their political, linguistic and cultural rights, he introduced.
In contrast, the TPLF accuses Mr Abiy of making an attempt to establish a extra unitary class of govt.
The BBC's Tigrinya editor says that while a surge in Tigrayan nationalism could work within the TPLF's favour, the probability that many individuals can also in its place returned the federal govt can not be dominated out.
"all over the armed struggle [against Mengistu], the americans of Tigray have been fully at the back of the fighters. however within the just about three decades that the TPLF has been in energy, many Tigrayans objected to the leadership on account of systemic corruption and oppression," Mr Samuel said.
He believes that the influence of the fight for Mekelle will assess whether or not the TPLF can wage a guerrilla warfare, but despite the fact that the Ethiopian armed forces gains the higher hand, he doesn't envisage the battle ending devoid of correct negotiations between the distinctive aspects.

the name of a man, and also of a city.
1. (Heb. id. אוֹן, strength, as Job 18:7; Sept. Αὔν.) A son of Peleth, and a chief of the tribe of Reuben, who was one of the accomplices of Korah in the revolt against the authority of Moses and Aaron. B.C. cir. 1637. He is mentioned among the leaders of this conspiracy in the first instance (Nu 16:1), but does not appear in any of the subsequent transactions, and is not by name included in the final punishment. "Possibly he repented; and indeed there is a Rabbinical tradition to the effect that he was prevailed upon by his wife to withdraw from his' accomplices. Abendana's note is, 'Behold On is not mentioned again, for he was separated from their company after Moses spake with them. And our rabbins of blessed memory said that his wife saved him.' Josephus (Ant. 4:2, 2) omits the name of On, but retains that of his father in the form Φαλαοῦς, thus apparently identifying Peleth with Phallu, the son of Relluen."
⇒Bible concordance for ON.
2. An important city in Egypt. In the following account we depend largely upon the elucidation which modern researches have afforded.
Name. — This in the Heb. is the same as the above, אוֹן, Ge 41:50, or in the condensed form אֹן, Ge 41:45,50; Ge 46:20 (Sept. ῾Ηλιούπολις; Vulg. Heliopolis), which is doubtless of Coptic etymology. But in Eze 30:17, it is Hebraized אָוֶן, A ven (q.v.), i.e. wickedness (Sept. and Vulg. as before).
⇒Definition of on
The same city is also mentioned in the Bible as BETH-SHEMESH, בֵּית שֶׁמֶשׁ (Jer 43:13), corresponding to the ancient Egyptian sacred name HA-RA, "the abode of the sun;" and perhaps it is likewise spoken of as IR- HA-HERES, עַיר הִהֶרֶס, or הִחֶרֶס, the second part being, in this case, either the Egyptian sacred name, or else the Hebrew חֶרֶס, but we prefer to read "a city of destruction." The two names were known to the translator or translators of Exodus in the Sept., where On is explained to be Heliopolis (῎Ων ἣ ἐστιν ῾Ηλιούπολις, 1:11); but in Jeremiah this version seems to treat Beth-shemesh as the name of a temple (τοὺς στύλους ῾Ηλιουπόλεως, τοὺς ἐν ῎Ων), 43:13, Sept. 1, 13). The Coptic version gives On as the equivalent of the names in the Sept., but whether as an Egyptian word or such a word Hebraized can scarcely be determined. The latter is perhaps more probable, as the letter we represent by A is not commonly changed into the Coptic O, unless indeed one hieroglyphic form of the name should be read ANU, in which case the last vowel might have been transposed and the first incorporated with it. Brugsch (Geogr. Inschr. 1:254) supposes AN and ON to be the same, "as the Egyptian A often had a sound intermediate between a and o." But this does not admit of the change of the a vowel to the long vowel o, from which it was as distinct as from the other long vowel i, respectively like א and ָע, ו, and י .
The ancient Egyptian common name is written AN or AN-T, and perhaps ANU; but the essential part of the word is AN, and probably no more was pronounced. There were two towns called AN: Heliopolis, distinguished as the northern, AN-MEHIT, and Hermonthis, in Upper Egypt, as the southern, AN-RES (Brugsch Geogr. -nschr. 1:254, 255, Nos. 1217 a, b, 1218. 870,1225). As to the meaning, we can say nothing certain. Cyril, who, as bishop of Alexandria, should be listened to on such a question, says that On signified the sun (᾿῏Ων δέ ἐστι κατ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὁ ἣλιος, ad Hosea p. 145), and the Coptic Ouoini (Memphitic), Ouein, Ouoein (Sahidic), "light," has therefore been compared (see La Croze Lex. p. 71, 189), but the hieroglyphic form is UBEN, "shining," which has no connection with AN.
Scriptural Notices. — The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On" (Ge 41:45. comp. ver. 50; and 46:20). Joseph was possibly governor of Egypt under a king of the fifteenth dynasty, of which Memphis was, at least for a time, the capital. In this case he would doubtless have lived for part of the year at Memphis, and therefore near to Heliopolis. The name. of Asenath's father was appropriate to a Heliopolite, and especially to a priest of that place (though according to some he may have been a prince), for it means "Belonging to Ra," or "the sun." The name of Joseph's master Potiphar is the same, but with a slight difference in the Hebrew orthography. According to the Sept. On was one of the cities built for Pharaoh by the oppressed Israelites, for it mentions three "strong cities" instead of the two "treasure cities" of the Heb., adding On to Pithom and Raamses (Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν πόλεις ὀχυρὰς τῷ Φαραῷ, τήν το Πειθώ, καὶ ῾Ραμεσσἤ, καὶ ᾿῏Ων, ἣ ἐστιν ῾Ηλιούπολις, Ex 1:11). If it be intended that these cities were founded by the labor of the people, the addition is probably a mistake, although Heliopolis may have been ruined, and rebuilt; but it is possible that they were merely fortified, probably as places for keeping stores. Heliopolis lay at no great distance from the land of Goshen and from Raamses, and probably Pithom also.
Isaiah has been supposed to speak of On when he prophesies that one of the five cities in Egypt that should speak the language of Canaan should be called Ir-ha-heres, which may .mean the City of the Sun, whether we take "heres" to be a Hebrew or an Egyptian word; but the reading "a city of destruction" seems preferable; and we have no evidence that there was any large Jewish settlement at Heliopolis, although there may have been at one time from its nearness to the town of Onias (q.v.). — Jeremiah speaks of On under the name Beth-shemesh, "the house of the sun" (comp. "oppidum solis," Pliny, Hist. Nat. v. 11), where he predicts of Nebuchadnezzar, "He shall break also the pillars [? מצבות, but perhaps statues] of Bethshemesh, that [is] in .the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire" (43:13). By the word we have rendered "pillars," obelisks are reasonably supposed to be: meant, for the number of which before the temple of the sun Heliopolis must have been famous; and perhaps by "the houses of the gods," the temples of this place are intended, as their being burned would be a proof of the powerlessness of Ra and Atum, both forms of the sun, Shu, the god of light, and Tafnet, a fire-goddess, to save their dwellings from the very element over which they were supposed to rule. — Perhaps it was on account of the many false gods of Heliopolis that, in Ezekiel, On is written Aven, by a change in the punctuation, if we can here depend on the Masoretic text, and so made to signify "vanity," and especially the vanity of idolatry. The prophet foretells, "The young men of Aven and of Pi-be-seth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity" (30:17). Pibeseth, or Bubastis, is doubtless spoken of with Heliopolis as in the same part of Egypt, and so to be involved in a common calamity at the same time when the land should be invaded. After the age of the prophets we hear no more in Scripture of Heliopolis. Local tradition, however, points it out as a place where our Lord and the Virgin came, when Joseph brought them into Egypt, and a very ancient sycamore is shown as a tree beneath which they rested. The Jewish settlements in this part of Egypt, and especially the town of Onias, which was probably only twelve miles distant from Heliopolis in a northerly direction, but a little to the eastward (Modern Egypt and Thebes, 1:297, 298), then flourished, and were nearer to Palestine than the heathen towns, like Alexandria, in which there was any large Jewish population, so that there is much probability in this tradition. And perhaps Heliopolis itself may have had a Jewish quarter, although we do not know it to have been the Ir-ha-heres of Isaiah.
Monumental History. — The oldest monument of the town is the obelisk, which was set up late in the reign of Sesertesen I, head of the 12th dynasty, dating B.C. cir. 2050. According to Manetho, the bull Mnevis was first worshipped here in the reign of Kaiechos, second king of the 2d dynasty (B.C. cir. 2400). In the earliest times it must have been subject to the first dynasty so long as their sole rule lasted, which was perhaps for no more than the reigns of Menes (B.C. cir. 2717), and Athothis; it doubtless next came under the government of the Memphites, of the 3d (B.C. cir. 2640), 4th, and 6th dynasties; it then passed into the hands of the Diospolites of the 12th dynasty and the Shepherds of the 15th; but whether the former or the latter held it first, or it was contested between them, we cannot as yet determine. During the long period of anarchy that followed the rule of the 12th dynasty, when Lower Egypt was subject to the Shepherd kings, Heliopolis must have been under the government of the strangers. With the accession of the 18th dynasty it was probably recovered by the Egyptians, during the war which Aahmes, or Amosis, head of that line, waged with the Shepherds, and thenceforward held by them, though perhaps more than once occupied by invaders (comp. Chabas, Papyrus Magique Harris), before the Assyrians conquered Egypt. Its position near the eastern frontier must have made it always a post of especial importance. SEE NO-AMON.
The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, under the forms Ra, the sun simply, whence the sacred name of the place, HA-RA, "the abode of the sun," and Atum, the setting sun, or sun of the nether world. Probably its chief temple was dedicated to both. Shu, the son of Atum, and Tafnet, his daughter, were also here worshipped, as well as the bull Minevis, sacred to Ra, Osiris, and His; and the Phoenix, Bennu, probably represented by a living bird of the crane kind. (On the mythology, see Brugsch, p. 254 sq.) The temple of the sun, described by Strabo (17, p. 805, 806), is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, which is of red granite, 68 feet 2 inches high above the pedestal, and bears a: dedication showing that it was sculptured in or after his 30th year (cir. 2050) by Sesertesen I. first king of the 12th dynasty (B.C. cir. 2080-2045). There were probably far more than a usual number of obelisks before the gates of this temple, on the evidence of ancient writers, and the inscriptions of some yet remaining elsewhere, and no doubt the reason was that these monuments were sacred to the sun. From the extent of the mounds it seems to have been always a small town.
An imperfect monumental inscription of the time of Thothmes III mentions the city of On in the following terms: "In his thirty-fifth year the king (Thothmes III) sent forth an army of ten full cohorts against Heth. Then he marched against the city of On, where the unclean race were assembled . ." — alluding perhaps to the Shepherds, whom Thothmes finally expelled from Egypt. There are other indications of this Pharaoh having been at Heliopolis or On. Two of the obelisks removed by the Romans from that ancient city bear the well-known cartouche of Thothmes III. The one stands upright before the cathedral of St. John at Rome, the other in the Atmeidan at Constantinople. Osburn declares "that it becomes a historical fact that the patron of Joseph, Pharaoh Apophis, had possession of Heliopolis, and for a long period held his regal state there" (Monuma. Hist. of Egypt, 2:87). SEE EGYPT.
Later Notices. — The traces of this city which are found in classic authors correspond with the little of it that we know from the brief intimations of Holy Writ. According to Herodotus (2:59), Heliopolis was one of the four great cities that were rendered famous in Egypt by being the centers of solemn religious festivals, which were attended by splendid processions and homage to the gods. In Heliopolis the observance was held in honor of the sun. The majesty of these sacred visits may be best learned now by a careful study of the temples (in their ruins) in which the rites were performed (Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt.). Heliopolis had its priesthood, a numerous and learned body, celebrated before other Egyptians — for their historical and antiquarian lore, and occupying extensive, buildings around the temple; it long continued the university of the Egyptians, the chief seat of their science (Kenrick, Herod. 2:3; Wilkinson); the priests dwelt as a holy community in a spacious structure appropriated to their use. In Strabo's time the halls were to be seen in which Eudoxus and Plato had studied under the direction of the priests of Heliopolis. A detailed description of the temple, with its long alleys of sphinxes. obelisks, etc., may be found in Strabo (17; Josephus, c.'Apion. 3 2), who says that the mural sculpture in it was very similar to the old Etruscan and Grecian works. In the temple a bullock was fed — a symbol of the god Mnevis. The city suffered severely by the Persian invasion. From the time of Shaw- and Pococke the place has been described by many travelers. At an early period remains of the 'famous temple were found. Abdallatif (A.D. 1200) saw many colossal sphinxes, partly prostrate, partly standing. He also saw the gates or propylaea of the temple covered with inscriptions; he describes two immense obelisks whose summits were covered with massive brass, around which were others one half or one third the size of the first, placed in so thick a mass that they could scarcely be counted, most of them thrown down. This city furnished works of art to Augustus for adorning Rome, and to Constantine for adorning Constantinople. Ritter (Erdkunde, 1:823) says that the sole remaining obelisk bears hieroglyphics which remind the beholder of what Strabo terms the Etruscan style. "The figure of the cross which it bears (crux ansata) has attracted the special notice of Christian antiquaries" (Ritter).
Heliopolis was situate on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles north-east of Memphis. It was before the Roman time the capital of the Heliopolitic Nome, which was included in Lower Egypt (Pliny, Hist. Nat. v. 9; Ptolem. 4:5). Now its site is above the point of the Delta, which is the junction of the Phatmetic, or Damietta branch, and the Bolbitine, or Rosetta, and about ten miles to the north-east of Cairo. The site is now marked by low mounds, enclosing a space about three quarters of a mile in length by half a mile in breadth, which was once occupied by houses and by the celebrated Temple of the Sun. This area is at present a plowed field, a garden of herbs; and the solitary obelisk which still rises in the midst of it is the sole remnant of the former splendors of the place. In the days of Edrisi and Abdallatif the place bore the name of Ain Shems; and in the neighboring village, Matariyeh, is still shown an ancient well bearing the same name.
Near by it is the above-mentioned very old sycamore, its trunk straggling and gnarled, under which legendary tradition relates that the holy family once rested (Robinson, Biblical Researches, 1:36).

Leadership For
These challenging times require experience to ensure our students success
What People Say About Laurin
"I support Laurin Hendrix in his efforts to provide a great education at a low cost to students. He works hard to eliminate wasteful spending and welcomes input from constituents. When taxpayer money is not needed, such as a portion of the recent Cares Act funding to colleges, he fights to give it back. He is a great example of "living within your means" and he applies this concept to government budgets as well".
Emilena Turley Queen Creek Town Council Member
"Laurin has proven his experience as President and member of the MCCCD board, he lowered tuition for community colleges and found ways to stream line the budget. He is fiscally responsible and believes in lower taxes, as shown during his tenure as a State Representative as well."
Justin Olson Arizona Corporation Commissioner
"As a strong fighter for the taxpayer, who also knows how to deliver on quality education as well as manage expectations compared to budgets, I strongly endorse Laurin Hendrix for Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board. Laurin has served this board and been able to reach across the aisle to work with both Democrat's and Republicans to find real solutions. Going forward we will have many challenges. We will need proven leadership that can work in a bipartisan fashion."
Sal DiCiccio Phoenix City Council Member
"Laurin has been a consistent fiscal conservative as he has joined me in fighting for lower taxes. As a businessman committed to public service, his energy and enthusiasm make him a role model for helping others".

I have been a proud Arizonan for 33 years. It has been the perfect place to raise my family and grow a number of small businesses. Many of my neighbors were also drawn to this beautiful state, with its rich heritage and rich future. There will be some challenges ahead for our state and some tough choices to be made. Arizona needs experienced leaders who are committed to making our educational system strong and accessible to everyone. As a member of the MCCCD Governing Board, I will continue to draw on my experience as a fiscally responsible leader in the Arizona State Legislature during the last recession. I will continue to create balanced budgets and be a good steward of taxpayer funds. When our citizens are educated, it helps our state remain strong and competitive in a national and global economy.

You are probably familiar with the idea of "escape rooms" - in the last five years, escape room businesses have exploded onto the entertainment scene. According to the Room Escape Artist blog database, there were only 22 escape rooms in the U.S. in 2014. As of November 2018, however, there were at least 2300 escape room businesses operating in the US! These businesses charge a fee to play their game (ranging from $30-$60 depending on the place) and the timed challenge usually lasts one to two hours. Like many entertainment trends, not everyone can afford to have an escape room experience, though, which is why libraries around the country are creating their own DIY escape room programming for people of all ages. Escape rooms don't have to be solely for entertainment, either, of course! According to School Library Journal, this type of activity allows teachers and librarians to teach using play and to foster problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills in their students. Escape rooms give students the opportunity to experiment, fail, and try again in a low-stakes environment (as opposed to all the high-stakes testing they are used to).
Many libraries and schools are DIY-ing their own escape rooms, which involves buying various boxes, locks, invisible ink pens, flashlights, and more, as well as finding or creating a story/theme for the room. SWON was recently able to purchase two Breakout EDU kits using LSTA grant funds. Whether it's to entertain, teach, or both, Breakout EDU can help you create your own escape room experience. The kits come with everything you'll need to create a fun and exciting escape room experience - including content. Breakout provides an online platform filled with tons of lesson plans and ideas, as well as resources on how to facilitate a Breakout EDU game. (You will be provided with a login to access these if you borrow from SWON.) These are now part of our Tech to Lend program, and are available to borrow for up to a month at a time. If you have questions about the kits or how to borrow please feel free to email me!

Marla Aaron launched her eponymous collection in 2013 when her combined obsessions with bridges, hardware and jewelry could no longer be ignored. What began with one lock is now an entire collection designed to be worn in infinite ways and used as "jewel tools" with individuals' own collections—to redefine the "precious" in jewelry with individuality. Although recognized for its streamlined, industrial look, the collection is deeply rooted in the personal and emotional jewelry of the Victorian and Georgian eras.


Practice Fusion begins with an exceptional Brown-Wilson's Black Book Rating – "the best" for the last two years. Practice Fusion is an EHR building on its medical billing expertise to graduate to the new era of EMR needs. Here is our long awaited Practice Fusion Review.
Practice Fusion is a fully qualified Electronic Health Records system. Billing is secure and complete while looking at the 'super billing' status. While the EHR to access ICD-9 and looking forward to provide not only patient information (readily available to the patient) but also information regarding the diagnosis and prognosis; bringing the epharmacy practice to the office, allowing for more free time and less confusion. This will free up staff from multiple calls and the possibility of mistakes as the patient is able to access the information in their personal records. Practice Fusion is based very clearly in billing and all security that surrounds it. The program will however, move through the other aspects of EMR to one extent or another while moving into the 2014 landscape. This system is set-up for a small practice and will provide well in a small community. Larger population areas with multiple ancillary services may want to give more thought to Practice Fusion.
Practice Fusion was founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard, previously IT billing integration consultant for 12,000 physicians at Brown & Toland, and engineer Matthew Douglass. The first version of the product was launched in 2007 and initially gained little traction in the tough economy.
The company began to grow in 2009 when the product and customer support were made free. Band of Angels and Felicis Ventures became the first major investors in the company in May 2009, followed by Salesforce.com in June and Morgenthaler Ventures in December 2010. The company closed a $23 million Series B round of financing led by Founders Fund in April 2011.
The product achieved ONC-ATCB Meaningful Use Certification in June 2011. It has been named the No. 1 EMR for customer satisfaction among primary care providers in both 2011 and 2012 in addition to being named No. 1 for e-prescribing client satisfaction and helping doctors achieve Meaningful Use by Brown-Wilson's Black Book Rankings.
e-Prescribing – Nicely integrated but common in most SaaS EMR's. Not a game changer.
Medical Charting – Again, must have but my heart rate remains un-elevated.
Scheduling – Nicely done scheduling system and integrated well.
EMR for iPad – This is in Beta so no comments yet.
Referral Letters – Yup, they got them.
Lab Integrations – This is now becoming more common in EMR's but its really the integration and user experience that matters.
Patient Management – Pretty normal.
Clinical Collaboration – So, here is a potential differentiator. They offer professional collaboration via HIPAA secure messaging allowing, "curbside consults". Right now, this seems pretty basic compared to more advanced care coordination platforms like HealthyCircles which allows professional to professional sharing BUT allow granular permission sharing at the data type level and a full "care team" element. This is VERY important given the Tiger Team recommendations around patient privacy.
Medical Documents – Status Quo.
Secure Messaging – As above, cool but could be much more.
Medical Billing – Nice integration and not overload.
Patient Health Record – The PHR is basic and does allow the professional to share information with the patient. It does not allow granular permission sharing with the patient and the patient cannot sign up without an activation code from the provider. I think this could be a missed opportunity for sooo many reasons that I wont go into here.
EMR Integration & API – Nicely done….well advanced.
Unlimited Support – They really shine in support both online, YouTube and human…oh and they actually are fun people so thats a plus.
I have ventured into the use of Practice Fusion throughout its product evolution. I have looked at it with several lenses. First as an EMR – as an EMR I found the user experience very nice. It has a clean design, not cluttered and on par with my favorites. I think from a mutli-practice perspective its a little more of a challenge to wrap your arms around since it is a SaaS model. Don't get me wrong, I love SaaS/PlaaS models and have alot of experience in them but when your talking about clinical workflow, sometimes the flow can be tricky (please push back if you have experienced PF differently in a multi-site implementation).
Practice Fusion has a patient portal as well and has had one since I started playing with it. I have a particular fancy for systems that include a patient and professional portal by design (not just thrown in there to check the box for MU). Practice Fusion's model is a little clunky on how the patient invite and connection occur. The connection process could be way easier aka Facebook (not going to give any free product development advice here but there are existing models out there that make this super user friendly).
Practice Fusion has a major investor, Salesforce.com, which you can see alot of similarities from an architectural perspective as well as a user experience design.
It looks like Practice Fusion has been working hard to keep up with adaptive design and new browsers that hit the market. For example, when looking at their stylesheet you can see they have already made updates to work with Windows 8 metro tile browser and adjusted for tablet browser orientation. Essentially, their system would look nice on a tablet. However, I still believe a native OS app is the way to go (although this will probably change with the maturation of HTML5). In a nutshell, mobile it has…as long as you have internet. They are also launching an iPad friendly UX but that is also a web based stylesheet as opposed to a native app.
So, does Practice Fusion play nicely?
Where I find these types of integrations so important is in the telemedicine space or more specifically the ability to link to care coordination, care management and transitions of care space. This is critical for the hospital readmission reduction use case which now thanks to the new billing codes will see a market explosion.
Now in our EMR Video Gallery.
I like the idea of free. Yes, I have read the book. I also understand the value of marketing. When Practice Fusion says free they mean freemium. The free EMR has advertising and has come under a little scrutiny for the potential sale of marketing data from usage. I am a firm believer that in the clinical space, opt-in marketing initiatives should be super-transparent and explicit. Perhaps this is the case with PF but I am not sure docs want to take that chance.
Now if you want REAL free, look to OpenEMR. Otherwise if you select PF then pay to opt out of advertising. Also I would really check the branding capabilities. OpenEMR can be completely branded for your practice for about $500 and hosting would run you $10 a month.
So do your comparison homework and if you want free, go opensource.

Countries - Nigeria
The Igbo Jews of Nigeria
The Igbo Jews of Nigeria, who call themselves the "Benei-Yisrael," are part of the larger Igbo ethnic group. Most of the Igbo Jews live in an area which straddles the River Niger, near the Anambra states.
The Igbo Jews are said to have migrated from Syria, Portugal and Libya into West Africa around 740 C.E. It is claimed that the initial immigrants were from the biblical tribes of Gad, Asher, Dan, and Naphtali. Later, they were joined by more Jewish immigrants from Portugal and Libya in 1484 and 1667 respectively.
Some of the Igbo Jews claim that the river Sambation (beyond which the ten lost tribes were dispersed by the Assyrians) is in Africa. Learn more about this community

Is Jose Mourinho really a defensive coach who doesn't trust youth?
Adam Bate
Comment and Analysis @ghostgoal
Thursday 26 May 2016 17:40, UK
The appointment of Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager comes amid criticism of his playing style and failure to bring through young talent. But is that a fair assessment? Adam Bate seeks to bust some of the myths surrounding the Portuguese coach...
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to Jose Mourinho. The man himself can hardly blame anyone else for that. For more than a decade, his abrasive style and antagonistic approach has helped turn him into one of the most divisive figures in the game.
But that fact has meant that even his periods of prolonged success have seen caveats emerge. Mourinho wins matches - but what about the style of play? He guarantees trophies, but what about the issue of a lasting legacy when youngsters fail to break through?
Mourinho's flaws have gathered a narrative of their own, but that doesn't mean they should not be challenged where appropriate. And neither issue should necessarily dissuade Manchester United supporters when it comes to what Mourinho could bring to their club.
Image: John Terry's career really took off during Mourinho's first spell at Chelsea
Firstly, the matter of Mourinho's style has always seemed a curious criticism. His first Chelsea side were a swaggering force following his 2004 arrival, with the wing threats of Arjen Robben, Damien Duff and Joe Cole providing plenty of entertainment to go with the power.
In the space of nine Premier League games in that first season, Chelsea put four past six different sides as they finished with 72 goals - 14 more than Manchester United that season. They repeated that feat in retaining the title the following year.
Nobody scored more goals than Porto over his two full seasons in charge, and Mourinho's Inter were the top scorers in Serie A in each of his two years in Italy. But it's the efforts of his Real Madrid team that should really have banished such talk.
'United sack Van Gaal'
Mourinho and Man Utd timeline
Mourinho at Madrid
Real Madrid goals
Barcelona goals
2010/11 102 95
2011/12 121 114
Mourinho's Real not only scored more than 100 league goals in each of his three seasons at the Bernabeu, but they even succeeded in outscoring the great Barcelona team over that period too. The 121 goals scored in the 2011/12 title-winning season is a La Liga record.
The indulgence of Cristiano Ronaldo in Spain and later Eden Hazard on that left wing has shown that there is some flexibility within Mourinho's structure. Both men flourished under him, and that's true of flair players in other areas of the pitch too.
Image: Cristiano Ronaldo had the best scoring season of his career under Mourinho
Wesley Sneijder and Mesut Ozil were successful in the No 10 position, while the willingness to use Cesc Fabregas in a deeper role on a regular basis in Chelsea's 2014/15 title-winning season is further evidence that Mourinho is not wedded to a functional midfield either.
Of course, he compromises for the biggest of matches, particularly in adopting a more cautious approach in European knockout ties. But that would be nothing new for a club that used Ji Sung-Park, Darren Fletcher and Danny Welbeck precisely for such a purpose.
Image: United had their more defensively-minded specialist under Sir Alex Ferguson
Mourinho is a manager who expects tactical discipline and perhaps it's an inevitable consequence of the importance he places on this that feeds into those questions of youth development. He prefers his players fully formed and so is happier relying on experience.
Promoting youth?
Carlos Alberto became the third youngest goalscorer in a European Cup final when he netted the opener for Jose Mourinho's Porto in their 2004 Champions League final win over Monaco.
But this issue too can be overplayed. There's a fear that young players would fade from view at Old Trafford but who should be included on that list? For example, Jesse Lingard is the exact same age as John Terry was when Mourinho first pitched up at Stamford Bridge.
Image: Mourinho brought the best out of Eden Hazard in the 2014/15 season
Memphis Depay might be seen as the sort of talent of questionable focus who Mourinho might give up on, but he's 22 years old - just as Hazard was when Mourinho took the helm at Chelsea in the summer of 2013. The similarities are there.
Others will argue that Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku were shifted on by the Blues; Mourinho will point to the 50 games for the club that he gave Kurt Zouma, also doing the same with Raphael Varane at Real Madrid. He's not afraid to give young defenders a chance.
Image: Raphael Varane was given opportunities under Mourinho at Real Madrid
Both were big-money signings rather than academy players and that's something that Mourinho would be asked to handle sensitively, given Manchester United's proud record of having named a youth-team graduate in every single squad dating back to 1937.
The symbolism of Mourinho ending such a sequence would be significant. But to suggest it could hint at a deeper problem would be a stretch. Neither Mourinho's treatment of young players, nor his style of play were factors in his Chelsea exit. It's results that will define him.
That's what did for Louis van Gaal - for all the excitement of Marcus Rashford's emergence, missing out on Champions League qualification was a result that could not be overlooked. And when it comes to results, there are none better than Jose Mourinho.

V.I. Raiders try for second win
The V.I. Raiders visit the Westshore Rebels this Saturday (Aug. 1) in B.C. Football Conference action.
Jul. 30, 2015 10:00 a.m.
There's a lot that's new with the Raiders, but some things never change – like their rivalry with the Rebels.
V.I. coach Jerome Erdman will be facing Nanaimo's Island rivals for the first time, and fans will demand that the new head coach and his young team extend the Raiders' dominance over the Rebels. V.I. has never lost a junior football game against Victoria, period.
"It's dangerous for us to think like that," Erdman said. "We've only won one game. We went into that game and Langley really didn't know what we were going to do and we were at home, so we had a bit of an advantage. Yes, we did play well, but we did not play outstanding."
So he said this week's matchup against Victoria is a "trap game" for V.I. if it isn't careful.
"They got blown out Week 1; we played pretty well Week 1," he said. "But what we did Week 1 won't matter a jot if we don't do it Week 2 against them."
Winning in Victoria is important because the Raiders face the tough Okanagan Sun in Week 3, and Erdman said "we've got to be 2-0" going into that one.
GAME ON … The Raiders and Rebels kick off Saturday at 7 p.m. at Langford's Westhills Stadium.
