The Plastic Lab works on solutions to keep plastic out of nature and support the transition to a circular economy by connecting social business entrepreneurs, corporations, scientists and innovators.
Approximately 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year and it is expected that in the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea. A systemic change is needed in which we have to redefine our use of plastics so that they don't become waste in the first place and to keep materials as long as possible in the economic cycle. $80-120 billion in annual economic value is currently lost to the economy due to not capturing single-use plastic packaging material after use according to "The New Plastics Economy" report. The Plastic Lab works on solutions to keep plastic out of nature and support the transition to a circular economy by connecting social business entrepreneurs, corporations, scientists and innovators.
Social business will play an important role to create an effective after-use plastics economy to capture more material value and to increase resource productivity to turn the tap on plastic pollution. Hence, the Plastic Lab will not only reduce the leakage of plastic into natural systems, but also increase the economic attractiveness of keeping materials in the system and supporting industry leaders to deliver on their commitments to drastically increase the use of secondary plastic in their products and packaging.

Best Stocks for 2022: How Arianne Phosphate Can Make A Massive Comeback
InvestorPlace · 07/13/2022 23:30
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Editor's note: This column is part of InvestorPlace.com's Best Stocks for 2022 contest. Joanna Makris' pick for the contest is Arianne Phospate (OTCMKTS:DRRSF) stock.
It's a tough market out there at the moment. Yet, despite the recent pullback, Arianne Phosphate (OTCMKTS:DRRSF) stock is still holding strong among the carnage. Shares may be down 8% year-to-date (or YTD), but that's much better than the S&P 500's 20% drop over the same period.
Moreover, the global food crisis is real, and phosphate is one of the three essential ingredients in fertilizer. With Russia out of the market owing to the war with Ukraine and China having halted exports, supply is increasingly strained.
That said, I continue to view DRRSF stock as well-positioned to make a comeback in the second half of the year. And with that, could make a run at the top spot in the Best Stocks contest for 2022.
DRRSF Arianne Phosphate $0.32
Arianne's Market Expansion
Arianne's Lac à Paul project is a rare deposit owing to its unique geology, which allows for high-quality concentrate. In contrast, most deposits contain contaminants that limit their applications in food production and industrial applications — raising safety and quality concerns.
Furthermore, Arianne's second important attribute is location. The company operates the largest greenfield phosphate deposit in a "safe" jurisdiction; In other words, a geopolitically-friendly country.
Security of supply has become a big problem given tensions with Russia and China — the two largest phosphate suppliers. Nonetheless, Arianne's project location in Canada provides a stable alignment with Western interests, particularly as companies in many industries are looking to source key supply chain ingredients.
Of course, this aspect of Arianne is important. But another key part of our investment thesis is that the firm is well-positioned to tap into markets beyond traditional fertilizer and agriculture. Since our last check-in, investors have an important update that supports our thesis that Arianne's deposit is "special" and high-quality enough to support advanced applications.
Last month, Arianne announced positive independent test results, which confirm its high-purity phosphate concentrate can be used in the production of technical grade phosphoric acid used in the production of batteries.
With that in mind, these test results are big news for two reasons. First, the company now has the potential to be a phosphate supplier to almost every major electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. This includes firms like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY), Ford (NYSE:F) and GM (NYSE:GM), who currently or have already announced plans to use Lithium Iron Phosphate (or LFP) batteries in their cars.
So, as I've discussed, not all phosphate is created alike. And these test results are a positive indicator that Arianne has the goods to deliver to the EV market with higher purity phosphate than most. Thus, DRRSF stock investors could see long-term gains because of it.
Strategic Business Moves
Beyond the automotive market, LFP batteries have the potential to play a key role in energy storage — a market that could exceed automotive demands and continue to drive demand for battery materials such as phosphate.
I always like to invest for the long term, but it's important to point out that Arianne is also thinking strategically. With that, the company recently announced the appointment of Michael Gentile as an advisor to the company. Gentile is a prominent strategic investor in the small- and medium-capitalization mining sector.
In addition to his engagement with Arianne, Gentile has skin in the game, so to speak. Specifically, he purchased 4 million shares of stock in the open market and secured an option allowing him to purchase an additional 2 million shares at $0.75 for a period of 18 months.
Given Arianne's nature as an agriculture play, environmental, social and governance (or ESG)-focused investors should also take note that the company is also one of the cleanest operations out there. Arianne's Lac à Paul greenfield project is located 30 km from a hydroelectric dam which supplies 75% of the company's entire energy requirements — mining, processing and shipping — via clean, green renewable energy.
Bottom Line on DRRSF Stock
Collectively, Arianne Phosphate looks increasingly well-positioned to become a strategic asset to companies across several end markets. In turn, I continue to buy Arianne stock now as an agriculture play, with a free call option on the electric vehicle and storage markets. I think it's a question of when, not if, Arianne's phosphate resources are tapped.
Additionally, despite the near-term market volatility, fundamentals remain intact. So, DRRSF stock remains a buy to me.

Peaceful Coexistence and its Consequences in the Area
Yuval2021-05-31T14:16:48+03:00August 10, 1971|Categories: Documents, The Other Israel|
ISO Statement
The counter-attack of imperialism in order to stabilize and intensify its domination in the area, in the framework of the arrangement between the superpowers, has lately taken a most horrible shape.
In Jordan, the massacre of the remnants of the Palestinian Resistance Movement is being accomplished to the rejoicing and support of the Zionists and the consent of the "progressive" Arab states. The Palestinian organizations have been led from disaster to disaster, defeat to defeat, by the petit-bourgeois leadership whose connections with the Arab reaction and policy of non-intervention in the internal affairs of the Arab countries have placed them in the camp of imperialism while spouting revolutionary clichés. The Security Council resolution and the Rogers plan – which we have vigorously opposed – are the local manifestations of the global arrangement of "peaceful coexistence" which is destined to hold back the development of a revolutionary force in the area, to perpetuate class exploitation and national suppression.
Coexistence with imperialism means surrendering to imperialism. This strategy is a consequence of the "theory of stages" implemented by both Moscow and Peking. The meaning of this theory is that national liberation is a necessary stage prior to a socialist revolution, and that in the underdeveloped countries, due to the weakness of the bourgeoisie, the primary task of the proletariat and the peasants is to ally themselves with the national bourgeoisie. This is an alliance against imperialism and the feudal forces, and the establishment of a "national front," an interclass coalition leaving the national bourgeoisie in power. In the name of this theory, Moscow and Peking have pushed the Communist parties to support petit-bourgeois regimes and bourgeois governments. Adoption of this theory by the various Stalinist parties has pushed them into interclass alliances, exempted them from the necessity of establishing an independent organization of the working class and from the necessity of educating the masses for the task of taking power; and eventually it has caused their liquidation, when their class "ally" felt himself strong enough for that This was the cause of the massacre of the workers in China in 1927, in the Spanish Civil War, in Greece, in Indonesia, in Ceylon, the massacre in Jordan and the slaughter in the Sudan.
In the Sudan, the Communist Party has been impelled to support Numeiry's petit-bourgeois regime and the formation of a popular front with him. Here, too, the regime launched a campaign of persecution against the Communists while strengthening its relations with the Soviet Union. The size and vitality of the Communist Party in the Sudan caused the ruling bureaucracy in the USSR to restrain it, because of its desire to remain in peaceful coexistence with imperialism. Without this desire, the counterblow launched against those who deposed Numeiry would not have been possible. Indeed, Hasham Al-Atah did carry out a military coup d'etat, but he assured the legality of the activity of the Communist Party and the trade unions. This was sufficient for the followers of the existing order, Ghadafi and al-Sadat, under the auspices of Moscow and Peking, who would sacrifice him on the altar of the imperialist "arrangement." Moscow, who kept silent at the persecutions of the Communists in the Sudan some months before the coup and even after its failure, broke her silence only after she had been accused by Numeiry of supporting the coup. The verbal warfare against Numeiry was launched only after the execution of the Sudanese Communist Party leaders. And Peking outdid Moscow by sending a cable of congratulations to Numeiry on his return to power.
The Stalinist bureaucracy and the parties following it – all those who stand for an interclass alliance on behalf of national unity and patriotism at the stage of national liberation preceding social liberation – are responsible for every drop of blood shed in the Sudan and previously in Jordan. A Communist Party which supports a national front with the "democratic" bourgeoisie betrays the real interests of its members, betrays the socialist revolution in favor of the interests of the bureaucracies in Moscow and Peking.
As for the Palestinian struggle, it should be stated frankly that the attempt of most of the Palestinian organizations to fight Zionism only, based on national unity, is doomed to failure.
There is no national liberation without expelling imperialism and its allies in the area, i.e., without a socialist revolution.
The way to accomplish this is by the establishment of an all-Middle-East proletarian party which would fight imperialism, Zionism and Arab reaction for the socialist revolution.

Dodgers Reportedly Sign Cuban Pitcher Pablo Milan Fernandez
by Vincent Samperio 03/22/2015, 8:10 PM
If there's a Cuban baseball player on the open market, it's almost a guarantee that they will be linked to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After signing Yasiel Puig, Alex Guerrero and Erisbel Arruebarrena, the Dodgers were rumored to be interested in a handful of Cuban prospects this offseason and are still considered in the running for infielder Hector Olivera. While the Dodgers did not end up signing any of the players that were speculated this winter, it appears they have made a deal with a player from Cuba.
According to Ben Badler of Baseball America, the Dodgers have reportedly signed a right-handed pitcher:
The Dodgers have agreed to sign 25-year-old Cuban righthander Pablo Millan Fernandez for an $8 million bonus on a minor league contract, Baseball America has learned. The deal, which is exempt from the international bonus pools, is still pending a physical.
Fernandez pitched in the Serie Nacional last season, posting a 2.83 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 57.1 innings. He pitched mostly from the bullpen in Cuba; however, Badler reports that he will enter the Minors as a starting pitcher. The right-hander could start the year in Advanced-A or Double-A, depending on his readiness.
Not known for his lights-out stuff, Fernandez has been able to reach the 90s with his fastball recently after being clocked in the mid-to-high-80s previously. He adds a curveball, slider and changeup to the mix, and throws from a variety of arm slots. If he's set to be a starting pitcher, the Dodgers could decide to have him pick an arm slot for consistency purposes.
Because the deal is a Minor-League deal and Fernandez's age, the Dodgers will not be subject to international signing guideline penalties or luxury tax penalties.

Could Nintendo's HTML5-based Web Framework Put Wii U Back in the Game?
By Steve Anderson , Contributing TMCnet Writer
The biggest problem that's facing Nintendo right now—and may well be expanding to the rest of the next-generation console line if the numbers don't pick up—is the overall lack of titles in the field. But thanks to significant growth from the indie gaming market, fueled by the HTML5-driven Nintendo Web Framework, Nintendo's comparative drought may be coming to at least something of an end.
Unity, a tool for video game development, architectural visualizations, and interactive media installations, has become an increasingly popular game engine in recent years, offering developers universal compatibility at a low cost. While the Nintendo Web Framework isn't generating quite the number of titles that Unity is—at least, not yet—this HTML5-powered system is potentially set to give Nintendo a much bigger base from which to work.There was even a demonstration on hand of a game that allowed several Mario clones at once to roam an HTML5-powered landscape, giving developers and players alike an idea of just what HTML5 could do in the field.
Some are a little less than optimistic about the Nintendo Web Framework generating a lot of titles for Nintendo, certainly when measured against the opportunities posed by the Unity engine, set to bring around 50 titles into play in the short term. But given that the Nintendo Web Framework can give developers the necessary tools to play games on Wii U using the Wii U Web browser, the idea of a multi-platform port from one round of development becomes not only possible, but somewhat desirable. Consider the recent release of the "Hitchhiker's Guide" game, a former text-based adventure modified using HTML5 to offer graphics as well; that kind of porting could go on, and could bring a whole new class of game to the Wii U and beyond, opening up a new experience and possibly a new gaming market. Throw in the possibility of the retro gaming market—imagine old Sega games on the Wii U—and the possibilities only climb from there.
When developers can create a game and effectively release it on two or more platforms at once, that's an advantage for the developer. It's a wider install base that the developers get access to, and an improved chance for not only sales in general, but for more sales than without the wider install base. If Nintendo can get games made with the Nintendo Web Framework to also make the jump to Nintendo's portable line, then that only augments the possibilities further. If more developers can get behind the idea of making games for a Web browser, then that opens up significant possibility for cross-platform releasing. The games in question can not only be offered on PC—which is where quite a few people get browser interactions—but also with the Wii U, and potentially with mobile devices, which is a rapidly-swelling market.
Basically, Nintendo needs more games to make the Wii U a viable competitor going forward. While independently-developed games made with the Nintendo Web Framework or even the Unity system may not be what users bought the consoles for, it may well prove to be at least an acceptable appetizer to the main course of triple-A developed games, when those finally start arriving on the beleaguered system. If game developers can embrace the browser game as represented by HTML5, then a multi-platform release may be a much simpler enterprise. HTML5 gaming can bring a whole new class of gaming to the console field, and could result in a new market segment open up: console gamers who also enjoy PC games, but without the PC.

Globacom: Rekindling The 'Can Do' Spirit Of Nigerians In New Global Ad
By Azeez Disu
Nigerians are known for their doggedness, strive, and never say die spirit across all facet of life. For this reason, some are making the difference on the global scene, becoming unstoppable, unbeatable and champions in their fields.
The unrelenting spirit is inspiring Nigerian brands to expand their frontiers into other markets and ultimately aim to capture the world. Interestingly, telecommunications giant, Globacom is already going global and its new communication direction. Also, its new global brand ambassador endorsement is taking the brand to a new height.
Reinforcing the spirit of dedication and success of Nigerians, Globacom unveiled to the world in Lagos, Nigeria recently, Nigerian-born heavyweight world boxing champion, Anthony Joshua (nicknamed 'AJ') as its global brand Ambassador.
Excitingly, Television Commercial (TVC) that featured the new brand ambassador since its launch has gone viral. This is because the advert resonated with Nigerians both at home and aboard.
New Communication Direction
Before a detail look at the TVC, Bisi Koleoso, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Technical, Globacom Limited, said the company's new communication direction will help drive the future and ultimately help its subscribers to dream big, rule their world and glow in pride.
He stated that this will be possible due to the company's superior network that offers high quality voice and data, and its continuous strive to provide the best value for money especially in terms of voice and data offerings for its subscribers.
"It is a new dawn in communication. You will recall that since we started operation in the year 2003, we have been supporting the music, comedy and movie industries in Nigeria, and other African countries. Many of the musicians, comedians, actors and actresses have at one time or the other been chosen as Glo ambassadors, thus projecting the continent a refreshing light through thought-provoking and inspiring African movies and music.
"Today, I am pleased to inform you that we have taken this launch higher with the unveiling of Anthony Joshua, a global icon and all the student champion many times over.
Similarly, speaking on the new campaign, Sanjib Roy, Group Chief Technical Officer, Globacom, said that Glo is keen in driving the future, while imploring Nigerians and all its subscribers across the West African sub-region to join in driving the future with the company.

Connecting With The Nigerian Root With New TVC
The advert entitled, "It's in our blood" resonates with Nigerians, showcasing the tenacity and fighting spirit that the people are known for all over the world with the 'son of the soil' Joshua portraying the message.
Glo is known for promoting local content and the endorsement of the brand by AJ as he is fondly called further reinforces the company's commitment to promoting what is Nigeria and Nigerian.
AJ is loved by Nigerians and in the ad, the boxing icon endorsed Globacom as a brand that personifies the values he holds dear, such as tenacity, unequalled reach and speed.
He explained that to be a world champion it takes tenacity, pains, trainings, handwork and determination to win. He added that the spirit are in Nigerians "because we don't stay down, we get up and fight."
He therefore endorsed Globacom network as a true and reliable partner that has the same reach and speed with him and aligns with his goals and aspirations "I believe in Glo," he said.
He further stated "We have the same tenacity and Nigerian fighting spirit that makes us game changers, you have to dig deep to be a world champion and we Nigerians we know all about that."
The TVC also showed Joshua knocking down his opponents with upper cut and powerful punches while he ends the TVC by saying "Glo I hail ooh" with a "Wakanda" salute.
In essence, Glo has not only sold itself to consumers and the world, it has equally inspired more Nigerians to work hard, dream big, strategize, restrategize, be outstanding, never give up, and win in their chosen careers.
Aside that many amateur boxers will be inspired and would aspire to be like Joshua someday. In addition, the advert also inspires many young people to work tirelessly to be a world champion in any field they operate.
Meanwhile, consumers online and offline have applauded the advert as something great. Bisi Ogunwole said, "I watched the advert during Manchester City VS Arsenal. The advert makes sense" while Emeka Ugochukwu stated "Well done! Will always respect Glo because they saved Nigerians from price gouging when GSM first arrived."
Similarly, Aderemi Buraimoh said, "Whaooo something to be proud of being a Nigerian, AJ God bless you for being a good ambassador, others emulate." And Toyin Adejumo stated "I like the way Glo promotes local content. Proud to be a Nigerian." while John Brown said "This is good, let's promote our own. Indeed charity begins at home, it will continue to get better and better, na God get power ohhh."
Joshua holds four major world championship belts, namely International Boxing Federation (IBF) title, World Boxing Association (WBA) title, World Boxing Organisation (WBO) title, and International Boxing Organisation (IBO) title which he won between 2016 and 2018.
Joshua with full name 'Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua' was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire,and he is the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is a Nigerian, while his father is British with Irish and Nigerian ancestry. Joshua's specific Nigerian background can be traced back to the Yoruba people. He made his professional boxing debuts in 2013.
He spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School, Ikenne, Ogun State before returning to the UK to continue his education.
Glo's New Offerings
At the unveiling of the Glo's global ambassador, new products were also showcased and they include Glo Drive, Glo Health, Glo Entertainment Portal, Glo Mobile Money, Glo Call Connect Service, World Connect and Glo Titi, the Artificial Intelligence platform.
Koleoso said as the innovation leader in Nigeria's telecom space, Globacom is committed to ensuring that Nigerians are not left behind in the march to a digitalised world. "We have invested massively in new technologies to introduce these products which we believe will redefine business, social and personal pursuits," he disclosed. \lsd

It's the end of Casey Serin. Over here anyway.
I'm a bit exhausted over the material I attempted to put forth here last week and I am just glad that with this post, we conclude our "I Am Facing Foreclosure" discussion. I hope you were able to pick up more than just a few things from the various financial topics that I covered these last few days.
Should You Quit School Because You're Brilliant?
I didn't realize how challenging a subject this fellow was going to be, but just checking out the sentiment on his own site shows you how he elicits strong, visceral reactions from people. Here are my parting words on this matter: if you don't want to have this happen to you….
With my credit ruined, my reputation tarnished, my behavior sharply criticized, my past dug up and exaggerated, myself and my associates verbally abused, and even my family being stalked…WHY do so many of you think I still deserve to go to jail?
then heed the following pointers. Yes, there's so much to be mined from this story.
#1 Don't lie on your loans ever.
Technically speaking, by doing so, you are committing mortgage fraud.
#2 Don't publish details of how you are handling your finances irresponsibly.
If you publish details of living your life in an irresponsible manner (e.g. refuse to get a regular job in the face of armageddon), public sentiment won't be pretty. People will no doubt enjoy bashing you and your decisions if you are perceived to be consistently performing callous acts that take you on the road to financial suicide.
#3 Be popular for the right reasons.
If you're looking for attention, attract the right kind. Once the media feasts on a story and begins to reward someone for their notoriety, it'll be just like what has happened to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. There could be some kind of train wreck effect going on here.
#4 Be careful about what other things you divulge to the world.
Any material you bring out can be subject to scrutiny and opinion. The public will judge whatever comes their way and that will include people or things you'd rather keep away from the fire. If you're a controversial subject, you may want to keep other people out of your limelight.
#5 Pay the piper. Get punished for your sins, like right now.
Okay, this may not necessarily be feasible or desirable for you. However, if you have sinned, showing remorse, humility and attempts to make things better for you and everyone involved can help alleviate the ire of the public eye. Unfortunately, some people are hard to please and will only be satisfied by the ultimate sentence of hard time and punishment.
I still think that there's something to be said for owning up to your sins, or crimes, however you may want to look at it.
On another thought, since we're on the subject of crazy financial moves, here's the story of another guy: Ashley Revel, the guy who bet his entire life's savings and property on the spin of a roulette wheel. He's just another fellow who was willing to put everything on the line to make it big. Except in Ashley's case, he won.
Caveat: This is an utterly insane thing to do of course.
What's Next For Casey Serin, Poster Boy Of The Real Estate Collapse?
Sometimes I think Casey Serin never intended to make money from his real estate dealings. May be his real intentions were to attract a lot of public attention to his blog by consistently doing something stupid. It's not just limited to his blog…I have seen his comments on some blogs and mildly put they were outrageous statements.
So, may be #2 and #3 reasons above are working in his favor for the time being. Take a look at his sitemeter stats…he gets like 5000~6000 hits a day…and beats some of the best personal finance bloggers out there….just by being a stupid bum.
That's why I ask, is he for real? But it turns out that the newspapers checked out his stories, background and properties and it turns out to be all true! Btw, many have threatened to pull down his blog and he's had problems with using google ads so it's not necessarily blogging for monetary value really. Fame? Well, destroying your life, reputation and credit is surely not worth it! So I can only surmise that Casey is really the way he is, thinks the way he does and is truly one unconventional person, to put it mildly.
After tiring myself out trying to figure out what the heck this dude Casey Serin is actually up to, I finally found a place that catalogs his activities, history, associations, and purpose.
The site bills itself as "the leading semi-satirical wiki about foreclosure blogs", and I'd say that's accurate, given the predictably rather vertical market for "semi-satirical wikis on the topic of foreclosure blogs." Still, it's a good read.
i think his blog was shut down due to the fact that someone posted an online petition that allowed any users who signed in to leave their email and sign an email box to petition the fbi to open an investigation on him. there was like 83 users who signed it. i think the site was created on april 7, 2007. the fbi encourages us to all become whistle blowers for technical law issues. its all academic and im not the only genius who pointed this out. its all about greed and the incompetence of a small few who control the mortgage banking industry.


My RPG experience goes back to the 1970's and the beginnings of role playing games. I learned D&D from con dealers long before the rule books came into being.
Hoodoo Blues appealed to me for many reasons, so I splurged the $5 to get a full copy and check it out.
While the mechanics are a bit cumbersome, they are playable. As for the actual game matter, it is 60%-75% a "good game". It appears that while the developers tried very hard to make the game very "Louisiana" and "Southern", apparently none of them were actually from Louisiana or the South, neither did they know anyone from the areas.
My family has been in the area for over 200 years and many tweaks to the system had to be made for it to accurately reflect the reality of Louisiana and the South. I also found that many of the effects, prices, etc. were not accurate reflections of reality.
I'd love to see a Version 2 of the game that was more representative of the genre, places, etc. Untill then, I'll continue to use my rewrite of the game.
As has been said before, the game enjoys a very original and cool setting, and the mechanics are generally good, the rules are deep without being overwhelming. However, the mechanics also have some serious flaws. One is that two of the character classes given, the Hag and Loup Garou, are not really useful for PCs as they more or less force you to be evil and kill innocents. Troubled, flawed PCs are great, ones that have to kill every week just to live get uncomfortable real fast. Save these classes for NPC villians.
Next, the weariness rule is terrible. The games seems to encourage the playing of Ageless, and very old characters, but if you have to subtract 1 or 2 points from your Will attribute for every decade, your will is quickly gutted unless you put a 20 in it at the beginning. As the game's magic system often depends on WIL, this is a very serious problem: your ancient hoodoo woman has no will to make hands anymore. Better to have some one born in the 1980s.
I really like the game, but would advise not using these rules when playing.
First, a little about the reviewers relationship to RPG's.. I have played RPG's for 13 years, and have tried a lot of different games. I am mostly interested in small game lines, and is not much for the bigger ones (D&D and such). I have owned Hoodoo Blues for about a month, read it, but haven't got the chance to play it yet.
Hoodoo Blues presents a unique setting based on americas southern lore - hoodoo, voodoo, ghosts, werewolfs etc. Players portraits ageless characters with different powers/abilities, and thus is a part of the lore itself.
SETTING: The setting fills approximately a third of the 312 pages, and handles the southern history and culture, including the supernatural. The setting is rich, inspirational and also very well written. I have a bad habit of getting tired of books easily, but with this book i just kept reading.
CHARACTER CREATION: This chapter is another third of the book. This lets you create one of the six different character types; Voodoo user, Hoodoo doctor, Loup Garou (kind of a werewolf/dog/etc), Medicine worker (shaman), Hag (witch), and crossroader (who made a deal with the devil). Since you play ageless people, you need to define what you did with every decade in your life. This takes time, but also fleshes out your character. This chapter gets two big thumps up, since it's almost impossible to create a character that you don't like.
RULES: Utilizing the simple game mechanic ORC (Attribute + skill + D20, reach a difficulty), the rules of Hoodoo Blues is pretty gritty. The rules set is about 30 pages long, and easy to understand. Personally, i have never liked to use the D20, but this system is way more "stable" than the D&D rules.
ADVENTURES: A very helpful chapter, spread on 40 pages, gives tips on how to GM Hoodoo Blues, writing adventures and campaigns, creating interesting NPC's and antagonists etc. The chapter also includes to ready-to-run adventures of high quality. The adventures are maybe a little bit linear for my taste, but i can imagine it fits perfectly to introduce the setting. The plots is also very good, and function as a good inspiration for further adventures.
APPENDIX: 30 pages wich contains some live-action rules (haven't read them), good glossarys of supernatural and southern terms, map of the south, character sheet, quick reference sheets for combat and character creation, and a index (wich is only focused on setting-related things).
LAYOUT: The PDF is 50mb, but contains no mumbo jumbo - even a real old computer can read it fast. Works well with both Adobe, PDF complete and Foxit. The books uses many old free photographs (wich looks very nice, fits with the setting and also allows for a cheaper product), but also contains some good art. One thing that should become industry standard, is the "In-Brief" boxes. In all pieces there is a box that explains the content in one, short sentence. This makes the books content extremely easy to navigate through. Over all, the layout it a bit minimalistic (in a very good way) and very easy on the eye. The book is also pretty printer friendly (aside from the grey boxes).
PROS: Great and unique setting, but not hard to come up with stories. Gritty rules engine. Extremely well written. 'In-Brief'-boxes should be a standard. And, Vajra is practically giving away the PDF for five bucks!
CONS: PDF is not bookmarked (although it is not hard to find what you're looking for, thanks to the table of contents and 'in-brief'-boxes.) Personally, i don't like to use a D20, but the system is still solid.
CONCLUSION: If you are interested in the supernatural, like unique settings or just RPG's in general, you need Hoodoo Blues! Together with Eclipse Phase, this is the greatest and most innovative RPG in many, many years.
This is seriously one of the best games I've seen this year. The PDF price at less than five dollars makes this massive book a must-have for any gamer with a supernatural bent. The setting allows players to take on the role of various immortal types from Southern American folklore. One of the shining aspects of the book is the history section, which offers an insightful (especially for a RPG) look at Southern American history.
In the mood for something different in the horror vein? This book is it.
Just when I think there is nothing new under the Louisiana sun, premise-wise, in roleplaying games, some inventive souls come along to prove me quite happily wrong. "Hoodoo Blues" is an obvious labor of love; I know because I'm a folklorist and history teacher with over twenty years' interest in American folk religion and magic, and I love the game's subject matter too. Fortunately, you don't need to be a scholar to appreciate the depth and vitality of what Vajra Enterprises has accomplished with their newest game -- all you need is an interest in rich, complicated characters and their struggles across years of conflict and upheaval.
In "Hoodoo Blues" players take the roles of the ageless, Southern individuals granted (or cursed with) supernatural longevity. Character class selection further defines the reasons behind characters' ability to transcend the aging process, and also suggests internal conflicts and goals. As another reviewer has noted, players will need to create their characters carefully so as not to produce irresolvable interpersonal differences during play; on the other hand, one of the strengths of Southern history as a gaming backdrop is that characters of disparate races, social classes, and religions will come into conflict with each other, and it seems that the game designers welcome this tension to a large extent.
The game centers on the folkways and magico-religious traditions of three groups in the South: Blacks, Native Americans, and Whites, with the emphasis definitely favoring the first. Characters might be root doctors in the syncretic hoodoo tradition, laying hands and conducting a shadow war against other hoodoos; priests and priestesses of the American voodoo tradition most often associated with New Orleans; or traditional medicine workers from one of a number of Southern indigenous cultures.
All of these options are sensitively and accurately (within the confines of a gameable milieu, anyway) presented, and each is rich and entertaining in its scope and abilities. However, "Hoodoo Blues" also offers another sort of player character role: that of an individual desperately trying to outmaneuver the Devil, who gave her supernatural power and longevity in the first place. This broader category includes Robert Johnson-esque "Crossroaders" who sell their souls to Old Scratch in exchange for various sorts of power; Loups Garoux, the cursed werewolves of Cajun and Creole legend; and Hags, women (and a few men) who ride mortals during the night in order to drain their vitality. Again, all of these options feel right (to this folklorist, at least), and show the deep and attentive research the authors have clearly done.
Each character type has its own strengths and weaknesses, but in addition all character classes can take skill levels in Conjure, the game's catch-all term for Southern magical practices. Conjure includes the making of hoodoo hands, the petitioning of voodoo loa, and even the ability to summon the Devil at a lonely crossroads at midnight. The rules for Conjure are detailed and well-thought-out, and contribute greatly to the richness of the setting.
Speaking of which, it's hard to imagine a denser and more wonderful context for great storytelling than the past two hundred years or so of Southern history (and I'm saying that as a Yankee); impressively, "Hoodoo Blues" offers a truly massive amount of gamer-friendly historical and cultural detail covering everything from the daily wages of Confederate soldiers to the code phrases of the Underground Railroad to the etiquette rules that comprise Southern manners.
All of this information is potentially highly relevant, because "Hoodoo Blues" supports what it calls flashback play, a style of game in which gamers explore earlier periods in the ageless's long lives -- your 150-year-old Hoodoo Doctor might be powerful, prosperous, and respected today, but flashback play allows you to tell stories about his suffering under the lash of slavery during the Antebellum Period, and about his harrowing escape to freedom. Flashback play is practically a must in such a historically rich game setting, and while the game's mechanical guidelines for this style of roleplaying aren't tremendously extensive, there is certainly more than enough cultural and historical information to get GMs and players started.
The rules themselves derive from Vajra's house system, the Organic Rules Components, or ORC (heh). I find them a bit fiddly in places, but no more so than most tabletop rulesets I've encountered over the years. There's a rules-light version in the back of the PDF for anyone who wants less crunch, but really, the amount in the default mechanics isn't onerous. Creating characters will take a long time -- my first took me about two hours -- what with all the different aspects of characters' abilities and lengthy personal histories, but it's an investment of time that will certainly bear (strange) fruit during play.
To sum up, it's been a long, long time since I've been this excited about a new RPG, and I recommend "Hoodoo Blues" with enthusiasm (even if you're not as much of a folklore wonk as the authors or this reviewer, you really can't go wrong paying $4.95 for 312 pages of really nifty material). And heck, any game that asks me to define my character's personality by specifying his favorite musical styles is a game I wanna play.
This is an absolutely fascinating game at an incredible price point.
Hoodoo Blues is steeped in the mythology, folklore, and religion of the South, particularly the Antebellum South. PCs are members of a community of the ageless, immortal for one reason or another (each character class uses a different justification) and witness to the atrocities and heroism that have comprised Southern history. The book doesn't shy away from the darkest depths, which is why I will say this game isn't for everyone.
I have only two small quibbles with this book that prevent me from giving an unrelieved recommendation.
The first is that the character classes as presented have to be carefully chosen to create a viable play group. Several character classes have as a primary motivation the eradication of a couple of the others! Simple hostility could work, but having a medicine worker and a loup garou as friends is hard to imagine.
The second is the crunchiness of the Light (L) ruleset. This is part of Vajra's design philosophy and so I don't see it as something to criticize in the Regular (R) ruleset -- but the LARP rules section in the appendix, while lighter on the numbers than the main book, still isn't quite light enough to work away from the table. A little more tweaking is needed there.
As a tabletop game, though, and with a carefully-selected party, this game is potentially a masterpiece. The concept and characters are fascinating, the authors actually know what they're talking about with Hoodoo, Voodoo, and Voudoun, and the world promises to offer a very deep and serious roleplaying experience.


While studying the effects of resveratrol in the diet of rhesus monkeys, Dr. J.P. Hyatt , an associate professor at Georgetown University, and his team of researchers hypothesized that a resveratrol supplement would counteract the negative impact of a high fat/high sugar diet on the hind leg muscles.
In previous animal studies, resveratrol has already shown to increase the life span of mice and slow the onset of diabetes. In one study, it mirrored the positive effects of aerobic exercise in mice, which were fed a high fat/high sugar diet.
For Dr. Hyatt's current study, which was published in the open access journal Frontiers in Physiology , a control group of rhesus monkeys was fed a healthy diet and another group was fed a high fat/high sugar diet, half of which also received a resveratrol supplement and half of which did not. The researchers wanted to know how different parts of the body responded to the benefits of resveratrol – specifically the muscles in the back of the leg.

Yeats Brown is een oud Engels geslacht, waarvan een tak zich begin 19de eeuw in Italië vestigde en ook enkele Nederlandse nazaten kent.

Geschiedenis
Timothy Yeats Brown (1747-1831) verliet het landgoed bij Cumberland en vestigde zich in Londen, waar hij als bankier van Brown, Cobb & Co grote rijkdom vergaarde. Zijn enige zoon, die ook :en:Timothy Yeats Brown (14 juli 1789-1858) heette, benutte het geld van zijn vader voor vele reizen en een langdurig verblijf in het buitenland. Na een conflict met zijn vader noemde hij zich T. Yeats Brown; zijn vrouw sprak hem aan met "Yeats".

Na een huwelijk met Mary Ann Goldsmid, dat kinderloos bleef en die op 22-jarige leeftijd op 3 september 1817 stierf in Torno aan het Comomeer in Italië, ontmoette hij in 1829 in München, Duitsland, Stuarta Erskine (1810-17 september 1863). Zij was de dochter van de Britse diplomaat David Erskine, 2e baron Erskine  (1776-1855), die destijds in München was gestationeerd, en de Amerikaanse Frances Cadwalader (1781-1843), dochter van generaal John Cadwalader. Frances overleed in 1843 in Genua in het huis van haar kleinzoon Frederick Augustus Yeats Brown.

T. Yeats Brown en Stuarta Erskine trouwden in München op 6 oktober 1829. Na hun huwelijk vestigden zij zich op Palmaria, een eiland in de Golf van La Spezia, waar ze leefden van de erfenis van zijn vader. Ze verbleven op het eiland van 1832 tot 1840 en kregen daar drie van hun zeven kinderen.

In 1840 werd Yeats Brown benoemd tot consul in Genua, waar het gezin het enorme Palazzo Cambiaso betrok.

De namen van hun kinderen (met geboorteplaats) zijn:
 Stuarta (Palmaria)
 Montague (Palmaria, 1834), die na diens dood zijn vader opvolgde als Brits consul in Genua en vanaf 1893 tot zijn pensioen in 1896, consul was van Boston. In 1867 kocht hij Castello Brown, dat uitkijkt op Portofino, dat hij restaureerde. Hij is de oud-oom van de Nederlandse schrijver en diplomaat Jan Breman en vader van :en:Francis Yeats-Brown, bekend van zijn autobiografie The Lives of a Bengal Lancer.

6 Templates and Wiki Tools
This Cybersecurity wiki provides a set of evolving resources on cybersecurity, broadly defined, and includes an Annotated Bibliography on relevant articles and literature, which can be searched in a number of ways. Please see below.
This wiki is intended as a tool/resource for researchers, technologists, students, policy-makers and others who are interested in cybersecurity issues more broadly.
Cybersecurity Overview
The term "Cybersecurity" encompasses a range of issues from cybercrime to cyberwarefare. These in turn embrace a diverse set of activities and interests.
Cybercrime, for example, can refer to a lone hacker breaking into a single computer to an organized network of computer criminals collecting thousands or millions of credit card numbers and/or personal information records from multiple sources. Responses to cybercrime range from offering incentives to individuals, manufacturers and/or corporations to protect against malware and botnet attacks to decisions about insurance and risk management.
Cyberwarfare attacks include covert espionage attacks against secure systems to collect sensitive national security information, distributed attacks against the civilian infrastructure to cause widespread failures of energy and/or communication systems or targeted attacks against military targets with the intent to render offensive and defensive systems inoperable or to take control of systems with the ability to deliver kinetic attacks. These attacks all create complicated questions of attribution and law, as the normal laws of war are of questionable value when applied to threats delivered domestically from a anonymous source in a distant location. In addition, deterrence, offensive actions and defensive response often become blurred in the cyber realm, requiring a fresh look at what policies such as "no first strike" mean in cyberspace.
Solutions to these problems will involve addressing questions of economics, incentives, law, legislation, politics, government-private cooperation and international diplomacy. Government, industry, the military and the public must all play a role in deciding how much cybersecurity is needed and who will pay for it. These stakeholders must also address the tradeoffs between privacy and security that often arise in addressing cyber threats. Finally, there needs to be a way to measure the threat and the protections put in place so that the players can make intelligent choices in allocating scare resources.

Home > Switch Review > Review: Fishing Star World Tour (Nintendo Switch)
Review: Fishing Star World Tour (Nintendo Switch)
Review by Matt S.
Everyone needs a good fishing game to play, and yes, I'm being entirely serious. Unlike real world fishing, fishing video games are a relaxing and affirming experience - you chill right down, throw the line in, and know that sooner or later you're going to catch something. Anyone that tells you that real-world fishing is relaxing is either showing off or lying, because catching those damn things is near-impossible. But in video games... well, you can enjoy the process there.
Fishing Star World Tour isn't a new game - it was released back at the start of the year for digital download on the eShop. But it has apparently been successful enough to get a physical release, and, given that I haven't actually played a full-fledged fishing game on my Switch yet, I figured I'd give it a go.
The first thing to note about Fishing Star World Tour is that it is by no means a serious simulation of the pastime. There are lures and rods to choose, and each have a different effect (some fish prefer some lures, some rods will give you better casting difference). But once you've thrown the line in, Fishing Star is a very arcadey experience. You'll tug on the line a little to catch a fish's attention, and then battle with the fish, working hard to keep the tension on the line right, as the fish moves back and forth in a bid to get away from you. Allow the line to become too tight and it will snap. Allow it to loosen too far and the fish will escape the line.
Fishing games are a great way to chillll #FishingStarWorldTour #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/Qd1aryagEW
— DDNet: We cover Japan 🇯🇵 (@DigitallyDownld) November 20, 2019
Fish will try a number of different tricks to get away, and each of those are handled through very simple little twists on the basic mechanics, forcing you into an almost twitch-like response to the fish's behaviour. With the more difficult fish, the window you have to adjust your line before the line either breaks or goes slack is small indeed, and tougher fish can battle for a much longer time before you'll finally reel them in. The difficulty curve is gentle however, and there's no real punishment for failure, so you can just toss another line in immediately afterwards. While the action itself is arcadey, Fishing Star is ultimately a very chilled, no-pressure experience.
This is supported by the environments, which are absolutely gorgeous. They're simple - not much larger than a single screen in size, and you can't move about within them - but they are absolutely gorgeous and tranquil. You'll need to complete some kind of objective in one environment before getting access to the next one, and so throughout your time with the game you'll constantly find new and vibrant environments to fish in. There's nothing realistic about the aesthetics, but the colourful and bright spaces are so much better for this kind of game. Even if you buy the argument that real-world fishing is relaxing and enjoyable, part of what makes it so appealing (as fishing fans will always tell you) is the tranquility of being in nature. In that context the hyper-real environments of Fishing Start World Tour just do that better.
While we're on the presentation, the writing is awful, and the translation from the base language (Japanese) is really, really poor. Thankfully there's not much narrative to this one beyond an introduction, but it's nonetheless a blemish that every so often does just enough to remind you that this isn't quite the premium experience.
Some players might find the mission structure to be too restrictive, too. As mentioned, new areas are unlocked by completing objectives and catching certain kinds and quantities of fish. With perseverance this will happen, but with each body of water having multiple types of fish to catch, there is an element of luck involved in terms of which fish you land. When the dice rolls go against you, you can be "stuck" in one tranquil area chilling and catching the same fish over and over again. When that happens it's just a test of patience - once again there's no pressure in playing Fishing Star - but it can become dull.
The other big issue with Fishing Star is optional - there are motion controls, where you'll use the Joycons in a way that emulates the action of a fishing line and reel. It's gimmicky and doesn't work all that well, thanks to the need to constantly reset and re-calibrate it. The rest of the game is far too peaceful and relaxing for that kind of busywork. Thankfully standard controls work really well, and this is the kind of game that's better for handheld play, anyway. It's a nice easy thing to play in the background while you're watching TV or a movie.
There's a lot to like about Fishing Star World Tour. It's a lightweight, highly accessible, and charming little arcade-like take on fishing, and while it's never going to top anyone's list of favourite games, it's the kind of mindlessly relaxing thing that's useful to have on the console for those times where you really do just want to chill.
