Relic Entertainment is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver and founded in June 1997 by Alex Garden and Luke Moloney. After its debut title Homeworld (1999), the company developed two more games, Impossible Creatures (2003) and Homeworld 2 (2003), and signed a contract with publisher THQ for an additional two games. Before either game was released, however, Relic was bought by THQ in May 2004 for  in cash; the company was renamed THQ Canada, with "Relic Entertainment" used as a marketing brand by the studio. THQ published the next five games by the company. A few months after being purchased, Relic released its first licensed title, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (2004). It released two more original titles in 2006, The Outfit and Company of Heroes, before transitioning to focus on further titles and expansion packs in the Warhammer 40,000 and Company of Heroes franchises.

In December 2012, THQ declared bankruptcy and began selling off its properties and subsidiary companies; THQ Canada was auctioned to Sega in January 2013, for , along with the rights to the Company of Heroes franchise. The studio was then renamed back to Relic Entertainment. Since joining Sega, Relic has released one more title in both the Warhammer and Company of Heroes franchises, both published by Sega, as well as Age of Empires IV. It is currently developing Company of Heroes 3, to be published by Sega.

Whether you seek relaxation or conversation, the classic club chair is always a tempting spot. This one gets a modern update and features nice details like scooped arms, welted seam piping and tapered legs. Supple pellini leather gives the piece a well- loved feeling on the very first day you have it in your home.


28 in all present including guests. An improved turn out from previous weeks probably reflecting the end of some members holidays.
The Ed Slot was a David Plumley special with the theme –" no pleasure: no leisure". David urged upon us micro breaks, mini breaks and macro breaks to keep ourselves fresh during the working day. He suggested we all drank a lot of water and breathed deeply. He further advocated singing in the car and shouting in a cupboard. Joan Jaggernauth atleast thought it was a good idea.
Adrian Crosdale put in what turned out to be his final appearance. He brought with him his successor at The Electrical Shop, Diane Boyle. Adrian departs with our best wishes in his new employment and we welcome Diane who will be straight into the thick of things next week.
The 60 second round took off slowly. Joan Jaggernauth was on the letter "S" which was for science, sugar and nothing else. She mentioned Panna Yama which I understand is transcendental for bad breath. I probably got it wrong. I promise to listen more carefully next week. Whilst Joan preached the alleviation of stress she was followed by Terry Maylin who from a business point of view was looking to thrive on it. If anything was stress inducing, however, it was Kevin Brooks shirt. Was it magenta? If anybody wants to respond to this e-mail they might like to indicate what colour they thought his shirt was.
Jason Nortey told us how he nicked a Client from NatWest because he was Chinese. All very surreal, but Brian Painter brought things down to earth. He managed to once again entertain us with the dire consequences of smoking which surely is enough in itself to make you give up. Perhaps we have an insight into his success in this aspect of his business. Instead of hypnotising he simply recites all of the worst consequences of smoking to someone who has just eaten a full English breakfast and the results are there for all to see. It was left to Kevin Radford once again to provide the appropriate poetic interlude in trying to persuade us away from Direct Line, Compare The Market and Go Compare. Don't worry Kevin, the adverts are so irritating that when something cuddly comes along everybody goes for it……and he won the Oscar.
This week's 10 minute slot was slightly different. Mike Thwaites, an Independent who is looking to be elected Essex Police and Crime Commissioner, gave us an interesting insight into his credentials and his approach to the post he is looking to be elected to. At the very least we were reminded that there is such an election taking place and in November.
His interesting talk and subsequent questions made us run late, but a swiftly executed referrals round produced an excellent quantity of referrals and recorded business of just under £19,000.00. We are almost at £75,000.00 for the recorded business passed for the month with two weeks to go.
It was good to see Hugh Nicolas back in the fold. Remember to turn up smartly dressed the week after next as he is taking shots during the meeting for the new web site and the week after – the first Thursday in September could all new members who have not had their photographs taken make sure they turn up as he will be taking the portraits for the new Directory as well a the web site.
May I urge you all to get distributing the remaining Directories. Let's flood the market so that our new Directory, that will be ready in September, will already have a captive readership.
I look forward to seeing you all next week.
Not Magenta, i'd say more Fuscia.
Perhaps Dawn or Hugh could provide an exact pantone colour reference?!


Don't worry. The purpose of this post is not to attempt to seek a definition of "Friendship" or to categorize the different varieties and permutations of friends I have, as Joseph Epstein sought to do.
Instead, I just wanted to briefly and publicly state my gratitude for the friends I have gained throughout my life – and more specifically, the loyal friends over long distances. In my case, it's the handful of people I befriended in high school, college, or elsewhere, whom I rarely see, but with whom I can get on the phone, or send a letter and email, after months and feel like we have picked up the conversation where it left off.
There's no use to try to tick off the names on the relatively short list, for fear of inadvertently omitting someone from the discussion. Yet I am truly grateful to God for these people with whom the deep kinship carries on despite the separations of miles and years. They represent additional spices and flavors (some more humorous, others more serious) that in many different ways continue to enhance and edify my life.

SGM – 2019
The Sheaf presents: Your Saskatoon-University MP candidates
By Ana Cristina Camacho	 October 18, 2019 in News
In a few words, describe what your party's platform stands for.
Claire Card, New Democratic Party candidate: "Meaningful climate action … making life more affordable for the average ordinary person … [and] lastly, we need to structure the way we take income into the government. The studies show the ultra-rich Canadians are benefiting the most."
Supplied by Joe Hachachena | New Democratic Party
Susan Hayton, Liberal Party of Canada candidate: "The thing that really makes me feel that it's important for people to vote Liberal this time is the environmental policy. The Liberal party is the first federal government in Canada that has made a real push towards trying to advance us in terms of fighting climate change, and if the Conservatives come in, they will reverse much of that."
Jan Norris, Green Party of Canada candidate: "We are known as the environmental party, but the Green movement is formed on four principles: ecology, equality, democracy and non-violence. Those things are very important to me and are the basis for all our policies. We have a strong platform for social justice and equality."
Guto Penteado, People's Party of Canada candidate: "I used to be a Conservative Party supporter but last year, the Conservatives moved to the center. The only party who represents my values and aligns with my principles is the People's Party of Canada. I love Canada, since I arrived here 17 years ago as a Brazilian immigrant, and I think we are going in the wrong direction. I think it's time for Canadians and for Canada to stop spending money abroad helping other countries and forgetting about us here."
Corey Tochor, Conservative Party of Canada candidate: "The platform was built on the premise that we need to help Canadians, and it is time for them to get ahead. Our platform is geared specifically to make life more affordable for seniors, families, students and Canadians coast to coast. If you look at our platform items, they are all to do with affordability and also with getting ourselves back to balance."
What sets your party apart?
Card: "Our slogan is we are 'In it for you' and we take that seriously. We are not in it to make corporations wealthier or to make billionaires richer. We are in it for a more equal, fair society. We take a different, refreshing approach by working in a way that benefits your ordinary person."
Hayton: "I think it's clear that the NDP and Green are not going to form government, so if you don't vote Liberal I think that you're allowing the Conservative party to come in."
Supplied by Susan Hayton | Liberal Party of Canada
"I like the philosophy of NDP and Green that we need to transition to alternate methods of energy production, but I think that their perspectives are not realistic. I think we're going to need significant investment. We have oil, that is a big product that Canada exports that can help fund that, and we are going to continue to need oil and gas for a while at least as we do that transition."
Norris: "Our targets for cutting down greenhouse gas emissions are twice as tough as the others and we are not indebted to any special interest groups. Our support comes from individuals who really care about the environment, period. If we get into office, that's what our mandate is, and our commitment is to a fair and just transition [through] investing. This economy is unsustainable and we can't keep growing forever based on fossil fuels — it's not going to work. We need to transition."
Penteado: "We are the only party that is for Canada and Canadians first. All other parties have commitments to the United Nations about climate change and immigration, and we are not going to be committed to that."
"We are pulling out of the Paris accords — and the other parties are not doing that — because we don't believe in that. We believe in climate change, just not that it's made by men."
Tochor: "We are talking about affordability and making life more affordable for Canadians. We are the only party that is talking about getting the budget back to balance. Budgets don't balance themselves, and if we can do that over a timespan of five years, we are not going to see the dramatic cuts that other governments have to make when they go for a decade of overspending."
Why should students be invested in this election and in your party?
Card: "I find students are very progressive thinkers. And compared to the Conservatives, the students have values that far more closely align with the NDP. Students are not against LGBTQ+ and students are not afraid of people who look different than they do. Students are concerned about climate action and debt and their future."
Hayton: "I think you should care because we live in a country where you have the right to vote. I think most people including many students want to see a push towards cleaner world because you're much younger than me, you're going to live a lot longer. I think the Liberal party is moving in the right direction [and] should be given another four years to try and flesh out some of those things."
Norris: "I believe we are at a tipping point in terms of climate, and if we don't act now and we don't act very deliberately and strongly, it's going to be a very difficult job for your generation. We all know what the predictions are, and I started on this work back in the 1990's and the predictions even then were very bad. I hope students take this seriously both in their personal lives, we need to cut down our consumption, and by voting."
Supplied by People's Party of Canada
Penteado: "Everybody should care about politics because politics affects every part of your daily life. It doesn't matter who you believe in or who you are voting for, the important thing is that you are voting for what you believe, for your principles, not because one party is like this or like that. Go to the parties' websites and get informed and see what each party actually offers."
Tochor: "We are at a crossroads in this country. I am very fearful of our country if the Conservatives don't win on Monday. I believe the path that we are on currently with the Liberals is one of disunity for our country, and the next generation will feel the brunt."
"I believe that how Justin Trudeau has targeted the natural resource sector in Western Canada has created feelings of abandonment, and if we carry on this path, I am fearful of what comes next for our country."
The youth vote tends to go to the left and other candidates suggest that this is because of concerns around the Conservatives' stance on social justice issues. What do you say to that?
Tochor: "It's not true of the interactions I've had with students. The students I've talked to who attend U of S or the [Saskatchewan] Polytechnic, they are worried about the opportunities after they are done with schooling, and I believe we are going to be having very good results on Monday with students.
"The party was very clear that we will not be making any changes to abortion [rights] if we are elected."
Some NDP, Green Party and Liberal supporters are concerned about splitting the vote, thus allowing a Conservative win. Why should these people vote for your party?
Card: "Conservatives in this area are typically elected with only 40 per cent of the vote. That means 60 per cent of the voters don't want them. Nationally, it is a much tighter race between [the] Conservatives and Liberals, but that is not here. In this riding, you only elect your Member of Parliament, and in this riding it is the NDP versus the Conservatives. Conservatives get elected when the progressive voters split that 60 per cent between the NDP, the Greens and the Liberals. If we could pick up some votes from the Liberals and Green, we'll go from second to first and we'll win."
Supplied by Ken Sailor | Green Party of Canada
Norris: "I have voted strategically in the past and I've always kind of regretted it because I didn't want that person to get in. Whatever happens, a vote for the Green party sends a message because we are perceived as the environmental party. It sends a message that as a Canadian you care a lot about environmental issues and the climate."
"All we can do is hope we get electoral reform; proportional representation is more democratic. Our government does not do that and it leads to issues, polarization being one of them. I hate this system and I can understand why students feel that way; it's a problem. I hope that if we all vote our values eventually things are going to turn around and reflect our values. But we have a very flawed system and it needs to be reformed."
What do you say to people who are concerned that a quick transition to a green economy is not realistic?
Card: "It's not realistic if you have a government whose ear is completely listening to the corporate sector. If you have oil money flowing into your province and taking the ear of government and creating very special favour for them, then of course it's going to be difficult because you need that money to stay where it is. But study after study has shown that there are more jobs in the green economy. We need to kick that door wide open. There's no rationale when we are in the middle of a climate emergency that you would stop the development of green energy."
Should students be concerned about the Conservative party's outlook on climate action being regressive or not decisive enough?
Tochor: "I just don't believe in the current Liberal government's plan. Paying an extra tax does not get us to where we need to go, and technology solutions are out there to lower our use of fossil fuels. [We have] concrete plans to actually lower emissions rather than this theoretical discussion that if we pay an extra tax, we feel good about ourselves but there's nothing for the environment."
What would you say to people are not satisfied with the Liberal government's progress and want to see a change?
Hayton: "I think it's complicated as a government to change the things you want to change, and you can't do it overnight. I believe the Liberal government has actually pushed forward in many of the things they promised they would do. I know people tend to say 'Oh, they didn't meet their promises,' but that's not the case when people have evaluated them. I think another four years is where we should go with the Liberal government and give them the opportunity to finish off the things they have planned."

Q: org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigException: Invalid url in bootstrap.servers: "kafka:29092" I am trying to get a kafka producer to produce messages inside a docker-compose stack. When I run the producer on localhost with env variables that point to the forwarded port to the kafka container it sends successfully. When I containerize the producer application it gets the values from environment correctly, but it still throws

I recommend AcuWellness in Jupiter - Downtown Abacoa for anyone, especially if you are having pain or other issues. They have helped me resolve my pain issues with acupuncture and herbal medicines.
I absolutely love it! It was my very first time getting acupuncture and I honestly will recommend it to everyone! It was such a zen and soothing experience. The staff was very warm and knowledgeable. The office is just beautiful. I feel very comfortable there and cannot wait to go again!

Sexism & Plagiarism in Academia: The Case of Southern Methodist University's Center for Presidential History Election 2004 Project
The mistreatment of a female writer might turn into a possible case of plagiarism at Southern Methodist University's Center for Presidential History in Dallas, Texas in their Election 2004 project. SMU's Presidential History Center has coerced submissions to their upcoming Election 2004 website project on the presidential campaign. They accepted entries, were completely satisfied with the writing, but then after refused to publish the author's articles and give the author credit, using a ridiculous excuse unrelated to the actual entries or quality of writing, paid this author off, and then intend to hire someone to write the same entries, presumably from the model of the original author's work. I know this going to happen, because I was the author taken advantage of in this situation. I am a woman, do not have a PhD or university affiliation, therefore I was an easy target.
This past spring I answered a call to write entries for Southern Methodist University's Center for Presidential History's Election 2004 project on the presidential campaign and election. I was in contact with Dr. Brian Franklin, the project head and associate director. I was selected to write the entries on the Democratic National Convention and Ralph Nader, and then I was offered to write about John Kerry because in Dr. Franklin's words I "seem[ed] so keen (and experienced!) on writing." In the intervening time between accepting to work on the project and the deadline for submission I had a family emergency; the ongoing situation set me behind in my work, I had promised to get the entries in by the end of June, but I could not.
During the summer months, I thought Dr. Franklin might have gotten someone else to write those entries, but then out of nowhere he emailed me on Sept. 9 appealing to me if I could still send the entries in, telling me he wants to me to submit them because as he wrote, "you have got so much great writing experience." I sent two of them, the Kerry and DNC entries, to which Dr. Franklin told me "extremely thorough!" in an email on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014. The only problem, I was having trouble was shortening the entries, I felt in doing so I would depriving them of vital information and watering them too much considering the importance of the topics. I told Dr. Franklin this when I sent the revised entries and the one on Ralph Nader on Sept. 21, 2014. It should not have been news to Dr. Franklin that I wrote long articles, I routinely write feature length articles, and of the over 400 articles I have written for Examiner.com I have written only a handful are less than 1000 words.
Then to my surprise two days later, Dr. Franklin, tells me he would have to wait and see until November if he intends to even use the entries. I obviously felt like a fool, I was not even intending to continue to participate in the project, I was intending to use the entries I had written for my own blog. Then out of the blue, Dr. Franklin emails me, tells me the first two entries I sent were good, and tricked me to write and submit the third entry. After he received all my work, three different versions of the entries at varying lengths and my research, which he can neatly edit and alter and then not give me author credit, he tells me he might not use them and will not pay me until he decides.
I responded and told him how I felt about CPH using my research and my "thorough" articles. As Dr. Franklin had previously agreed with me, there is very limited information on the 2004 campaign. It ranks as one of the most insignificant presidential campaigns in history, except for President Barack Obama's entry onto the public stage at the DNC and the results little else is even remembered. It is because of the limited sources on the campaign that makes it so easy to plagiarize my work. Any rewrites he does or has anybody do now that he has my work will be close to plagiarism. In the end, I sacrificed the quality of the content and edited the entries to the exact requested word limit, to which Dr. Franklin seemed satisfied, and agreed to use them and pay me for my work.
Everything was fine until the Ebola outbreak, I did not want to receive mail from Dallas, Texas while there was a panic there, the fact that SMU is so close to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, made me more uneasy. Why should I living in Canada be concerned and involved in this issue so far away? Dr. Franklin told me the check would come from Oregon, but I was nervous as millions of Americans are about the outbreak, and since the payment information had been I already been transferred to the accounts payable office, I emailed them asked where exactly the check would be coming from. It was not something I did to be offensive; I had a concern especially at the height of this issue, as did millions of Americans.
Dr. Franklin seemed to take great offense by this. Even though since then there has been more Ebola cases since then and everyone was in a panic or at the very least concerned about this issue. On Oct. 6, Dr. Franklin writes me "Finally, considering the correspondence that we have had thus far, I believe it is in our best interest to part ways at this point. Therefore, I want to inform you that we will not be publishing your articles on our website." Although I was "paid" for my work, I was told I and everyone writing entries for the project held the copyright to their work, which is what makes the possibility of plagiarism even more offensive. I feel being paid was meant to hush me not to make an issue of not being published and given credit for my work, but as all authors the writing credit and being published is what matters the most.
I personally believe when Dr. Franklin emailed me in September he had no intention of publishing my entries giving me an author credit, he just wanted my research and writing because of "my great writing experience." From the minute I submitted them he started saying he would not publish them, why probably, because I do not have a PhD, I am not a professor, and I am a women he thinks it makes it more easier to treat me this way. His decision to not publish my entries has nothing to do with any communication I had with him, and as I told him, as long as the work is good, he should include my entries in the project. Dr. Franklin or CPH does not have to hire me again, but neither does they have to behave in such unprofessional matter, insult and make a fool of me. It is hard not to presume the worst, Dr. Franklin wanted me to submit all three entries and then when they were perfect and complete, he decides he will not publish them. How can I not feel that my writing was going to be altered, the research modified and used, but someone else given the author credit. No one would ever believe any doctorate needs to plagiarize off someone with only a master's degree, so it is safe to do it.
I even contacted the Director of the Center for Presidential History, Jeffrey Engel about this issue and any possible plagiarism. I had known Professor Engel, he is one of the last professors I included on the Top Young Historians feature in 2010, I edited while working at the History News Network. As the chief decision maker of the feature, I decided to include Professor Engel on the list. The email, I received on Monday, Oct. 20, 2014 was an attempt to assure me my work would not be plagiarized, writing "this simply will not happen" and that "I will nonetheless personally oversee their final work in order to assure that there can be, as you put it, "no hint" of plagiarism." Still my entries would not be included in the project, why, no answer was given, it certainly was not because of my writing,
How can I believe them that my writing will not be copied in any way, shape or form. I was approached, tricked into submitting all three entries, then even before I said or could do anything wrong there was insinuations that my work would not be used with my name as the author. The sources are limited, even if there will be no word for word plagiarism, with all three versions at their disposable, paraphrasing, using the same sources is all considered plagiarism. If not Rick Perlstein would not be locked into controversy over the use of the same sources and quotes in his book "The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan" as in Craig Shirley's "The Reagan Revolution: The Untold Story of the Campaign That Started It All." In addition, I was paid to keep me satisfied and presumably quiet. How can I not believe if I was paid, they are going to pay someone and not use something from the work they paid me for, nobody pays someone for work if they do not plan to use it. The events are even more surprising given that the SMU is the home of President George W. Bush's library, museum and presidential center, why would a department at the university even attempt such a thing. Even the smell of plagiarism or any academic misconduct accusation would be an embarrassment for the entire institution.
This is not the first time my work would be used without being given the proper author credit or treated fairly because I was a woman without a PhD. In the fall of 2009, I worked for a former professor of mine, who was the latest editor working on the fourth edition of Fred L. Israel, and Arthur Meier Schlesinger's "History of American Presidential Elections, 1789-2008." I worked on writing and researching the overviews and chronologies, which was the biggest addition to this new edition besides entries on the 2004 and 2008 campaigns. It was four months of grueling hell, working sweatshop hours, typing until my figures bled; it destroyed my health. This professor remained coy, but alluded that I would be given a contributor credit. When I asked, he kept saying he could not confirm contributor credit with the editor at the publisher Facts on File until I finished the work, but used the credit as motivation to complete the project.
In the end, I was never given that writer credit, instead receiving a little line in the acknowledgements, with the words, "Bonnie Goodman undertook the Herculean task of compiling the first drafts of the impressive election overviews and chronologies." Would I have been so undermined if I had been a man or a PhD, probably not. This same professor often took my ideas from private conversations to use in his own work, op-eds, projects, etc, where I was never attributed or quoted. Years after I no longer speak to him, he is writing a book about a topic, Bill Clinton and the 1990s I told him to write about it back in 2001 when I was only an undergraduate and I conducted research for him on his biography of Hilary Clinton. I mentioned it again when he wrote a similar styled book on Ronald Reagan and the 1980s. I even did extra research for him in 2001, collecting primary sources on the topic, which I am certain he is using and of course I will not be given any credit for my role.
Even when I was the Editor / Features Editor at HNN, History News Network, I was subjected to unfair treatment, because I was a woman without a PhD. While I edited the popular and well respected feature Top Young Historians, I edited a number of other features History Buzz and History Doyens, but in 2007 I was no longer writing articles, as I had in my first year as an intern, when I contributed nearly 20 articles. I yearned to write, but when I asked the editor-in-chief he told me I could not write op-eds for HNN, because I did not have a PhD. Neither did the editor for that matter, he dropped out of the history doctorate program at Harvard University in the late 1970s, without receiving even an MA, but he worked as journalist, wrote best-selling history books, all without the degree.
At that time, I had already had my Masters in Library and Information Studies, and done three additional years of graduate work, instead I was relegated to write the "On This Day in History" feature, because it was based on facts, but no opinion. As anyone writing for Examiner.com knows, you do not have to have a PhD to write your opinions; in fact, most editorial writers do not have doctorates. Fast forward three years to 2010, despite my contributions to HNN, and my masthead ranking second under the editor-in-chief, I see myself being replaced by a college junior, who obviously did not even have a bachelors degree, never mind, PhD. Why did it not matter then, why was he later allowed to write opinion pieces, and articles, become the editor of the entire website publication without a doctorate or even being a graduate student, the difference he was a man and a woman. My whole time at HNN, I was the token female on the editorial staff, HNN has been always for the most part a good old boys club.
My experiences shed light on how PhD and professors in academia take advantage of writers who although experts in their areas do not have a doctorate. I am librarian, a journalist, an editor and a historian who considers herself an independent scholar. It is difficult to gain respect in the academic world enough as a women, one without the golden degree, it is impossible. When I was in library school a professor of mine constantly discussed the disrespect professors had for librarians, including him, even though he had a PhD and the Master Library Science degree and in reality was the more educated one, there is a natural condescension for librarians in the university hierarchy; I already have that against me.
Despite the fact the more women are graduating with doctorates in the humanities now, there is still sexism in the profession. Men because they are losing supremacy, try even more to dominate, intimate, and use women. For all feminism's fight for equality between the sexes, that goal has still yet to be reached. More women have to speak up and tell what is going on, or else in the future places like Southern Methodist University's Center for Presidential History will think they can mistreat women and attempt plagiarism just because they think they can get away with it, without anybody ever finding out.

"Co-creation can take place at any point along the design development process: pre-design, discover, design, make [iterate]" (Sanders,Elizabeth B.-N, and Pieter Jan Stappers. Convivial Design Toolbox. 1st ed. Amsterdam: BIS, 2014. Print.).
Post event documentation aims to maintain individual thinking and contributions.
On name tags, print a unique symbol which is a match to another single person. This will facilitate the ice-breaker / introduction game.
Also symbols can be of 3 categories: fruits, animals, and shapes - these can be used to divide the groups.
"Using the marble run tracks, take some time to play and build some tracks. This is an open play time with no particular goal in mind."
participants interact with Marble Run (MR). Understand the pieces, how they work together, what they do.
get the participants relaxed and having fun in groups.
participants start understanding the physics behind the toy.
No scaffolds to begin with. Support participants/groups organically.
If you were to make a video game version of the marble run for yourself (not anyone else), what would that be like? What kind of features would you want, and what will make it fun for you?
Group Configuration: same group composition as in Session 2.
"Now set aside your personal design - we will come back to this later.
In your groups, your task is now to create a video game version of the marble run experience together as a group. What features will it have? How would you control and play it? What makes it fun? You will have X minutes to work on a design. At the end, nominate a speaker who will present your ideas to the rest of the group."
participants design a video game version of the marble run based on their experience of the physical toy.
Map it out in "2D" using the actual pieces from the toy.
At the end, each group shares their designs so far.
"Now that you've had a chance to hear the different ideas from within your group and from the other group, let's go back to the personal design you started earlier. How would you now change your personal video game? What new features would you add? What features would you modify or remove? What has changed?"
Have participants preserve their initial design and add to it with annotations, notes, etc.
One way to accomplish this is perhaps put their original design in the middle of a large piece of paper and tape it down. Then they can draw / add around it.
"Does anyone want to share how their personal design has changed from the beginning and to the way it is now?"
We might follow-up with some of the participants to ask further questions, and maybe even ask them to help do some testing or provide input.

Energy performance certificates (EPCs) are rated as one of the best tools to achieve an efficient building stock. On 9 October the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) published a new report analysing national approaches to buildings efficiency certification. The report provides a comprehensive overview of EPC schemes and databases for residential and non-residential buildings across Europe and identifies good practices to make EPC data reliable and accessible. The European Commission has estimated that additional ambitious renovation policies can lead up to 46% energy savings between 2021 and 2030.
EPCs were first introduced in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in 2002. The recast EPBD in 2010 added new requirements which included the introduction of an independent EPC control system, assuring the competence of the certifiers in the accreditation process, introduction of penalties, increasing the availability of EPCs in transactions for sale and rent and the visiblity of the energy label in commercial advertisements. All EU Member States have now formally implemented the requirements to have EPCs for buildings sold or rented but they are not yet a widely-used information tool. Also there are differences in approach to the implementation of the requirements which means that the quality, credibility and usefulness of the EPCs vary greatly among the Member States.
• There is a need to consistently improve the enforcement of the EPC schemes in Member States and strengthen the monitoring of their compliance both at Member State and European levels.
• There is a need to strengthen the role of EPCs in the context of national legislation, especially for renovation policies and programmes.
• There is a need to introduce further quality assurance measures, especially during the early stages of the certification process (for example by strengthening the requirements for qualified and/or accredited experts).
• There is a need for guidance in the development of centralised EPC registries.
• There is a need to promote the effective use of the EPC data.
• There is a need for independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the EPC scheme.
EPCs are a very important issue for all those working in the real estate sector and CEPI welcomes the publication of this timely report. It is available for download from the BPIE at http://bpie.eu/epc_2014.html#.VDZy13lBvoU.


Think "pirates". You can even think, Pirates! You can think of every piratey movie you've ever seen. You can think of "Treasure Island" or even "Muppets' Treasure Island." Think of "Cutthroat Island" or "Sea Hawk".
This game isn't any of those things.
Whatever image you conjure up about what you think this game is, I'm certain that the reality differs quite a bit.
You start the game as one Captain Thomas "Hawk" Blythe, a sub-lieutenant of the notorious pirate, Blackbeard. In the skimpy manual, there's a page of his monologue expounding on the legend of Henry Morgan's hidden treasure. Reading the author's stylistic spellings and punctuation, you get the idea that Hawk has one hell of an English/Cockney/seadog accent. But then when you see him in a cutscene, he speaks in this nicely resonant baritone voice that is about as devoid of accent and colorful terminology as I could imagine. [Really, that voice actor should get his own radio talk show.] As to what he looks like, think Captain Jack Sparrow, but stretched taller, with a slightly gaunter face and you're there.
As a couple, Hawk and Sangua look like they would be better suited for doing adult flicks together. Except that they are way too nice to be doing that kind of thing, much less being pirate captains under the command of the bloodthirsty Blackbeard. But what really hurts their cutscene performances most is that the programmers have the characters moving their mouths about as much as someone with Lockjaw. Nor do they blink; not ever. The net effect is that the characters look about as alive and lively as the old Animatronic exhibits at Disneyland. And that pretty soon they will need a lot of eye drops.
The construction of the game is what I would call "a string of pearls". Unlike most other games where you have the freedom to explore the game world, in this game you are limited to a very immediate task at hand, followed by another, and another, and another, and another....In between the tasks, you are given a cutscene during which you can lean back and flex your fingers (exhausted by the most recent burst of button mashing) and hear another little bit of the unfolding story, and then be told what your next task is. At the start of the next action sequence, the game Saves - which is good because if you fail, you are given the immediate option to reload the most recent Save. Because of the short duration of each action sequence, if you do fail, you don't lose much when you go back to that Save.

Haskins Garden centre group raises more than £16,500 for nominated charities
The team at Haskins Garden Centre is celebrating after raising more than £16,500 last year for its nominated local and national charities.
Ferndown centre raised £4,548.03 for Dorset Mind
West End centre raised £2,563.26 for Countess Mountbatten Hospice
Roundstone centre raised £1,531.50 for Sussex Heart Charity
Snowhill centre raised £3,363.86 for Alzheimer's Society
The group raised £4,497 for Greenfingers
The garden centre group collaboratively raised funds for Greenfingers, a national charity dedicated to supporting children spending time in hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating inspiring gardens for them to relax in and benefit from. Haskins organised centre raffles to raise funds for Greenfingers, as well as staff cake sales and donating all of its 5p sales from carrier bags.
Haskins employees raised funds and awareness for their centre's chosen charity by hosting events throughout the year as well as participating in individual charitable challenges. One example is Simon Hallam's participation in the Brighton Marathon last year. Simon is the Ferndown centre manager and commented: "Completing the Brighton Marathon for the charity was a personal highlight of the year. I raised £250 for Dorset Mind off the back of this challenge and I would like to thank everyone for their generous support."
Lisa Looker, brand director at Haskins Garden Centres, commented: "We're so pleased with our charity totals and are very grateful to our loyal customers for getting involved with fundraising activities across our centres."
Haskins' nominated charities for 2018 are Autism Wessex (Ferndown centre), Silk Bow Foundation (West End centre), Wadars Animal Rescue (Roundstone centre) and Alzheimer's Society (Snowhill centre). The group will continue to support Greenfingers in addition to its individual nominations.
Lisa Looker added: "Keep a look out for lots more fundraising events and activities throughout the year for our centres' nominated charities."
Jess Hillicks, West Sussex community fundraiser for Alzheimer's Society, commented: "It's wonderful news that Haskins in Snowhill has chosen to fundraise for us for a second year. Dementia can happen to anyone and there is currently no cure. But with the right support, people can live well with dementia. As a charity, we rely on the generosity of organisations like Haskins to help us continue our vital work to continue leading the fight against dementia.
"Haskins staff and customers have raised an incredible amount of money in the last year and I can't wait to see what this year will bring."

The Union's "Money Seems to Be Working"...Martha MacCallum Calls Out Union Boss on $20 Million Given to Influence Biden's CDC Guidance on School Reopenings
This will make your day. Martha MacCallum called out Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), saying that the union's "money seems to be working" to influence Biden's CDC guidance on school reopenings. A report recently exposed the chummy relationship between the CDC and the AFT (see below).
It's clear in the video below that Martha MacCallum wasn't going to let Weingarten get away with spinning the relationship to make it seem normal that the AFT could direct the supposed "science" at the CDC.
OUR PREVIOUS REPORT ON THE FOIA FINDINGS ABOUT THE INFLUENCE THE AFT HAS ON THE CDC:
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky joined Joy Behar to explain how the CDC adopted language to give the teachers union "what they need" during the covid pandemic. This follows a disturbing report released via a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) release showing the powerful American Federation of Teachers Union was influential in pushing for language to be adopted in the CDC guidelines (see below).
The process of getting teachers back to work has been politicized, and this only undermines the public's trust in the CDC. Dr. Walensky admits it in the video below:
Americans have repeatedly been told that it's "all about the science" with Covid, but apparently, it's all about the teachers unions when it comes to reopening schools.
Emails obtained by the New York Post via a FOIA request have exposed a cozy relationship between a powerful teachers union, the CDC, and White House officials. It turns out that the American Federation of Teachers put pressure on the CDC to slow down the reopening of in-person classrooms. The AFT lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even suggesting language for school reopenings.
The pressure and lobbying paid off. In two specific instances, language from the union was adopted verbatim into the final version of the CDC document.
The CDC has been dragging its feet on students returning to school even though there is insignificant Covid risk. It sure looks like the unions have influenced the CDC, and health experts are weighing in:
Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine in California, called the CDC emails "very, very troubling."
"What seems strange to me here is there would be this very intimate back and forth including phone calls where this political group gets to help formulate scientific guidance for our major public health organization in the United States."
Of course, the CDC claims this is all routine.
Watch the CDC Director Walensky dodge the topic of reopening during a February interview with Jake Tapper:
The influential union gave $20 million in the 2020 election to Democrats.
This is exactly why Biden panders to this group. It's all about the money and not the kids or the science.
The Five's Jessie Waters made a great case for the fact that there was "political interference" between the teachers union and the CDC:

Vladimir Kozhin, presidential aide for military technical cooperation, said Friday that Russia is neither supplying Syria with S-300 surface-to-air missiles nor negotiating for their delivery. Syrian forces have "everything they need," he said. The Kremlin spokesman said it would be wrong to connect this statement with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Moscow trip.
Ok, they have a boutique with S-300 in Tartus, so what?
I buy my lemons at the market, no need to go to Tartus.
The Russians talk down to us a lot and in the process look like fools. Fact: the Russians are in bed with the Mullahs for the cash – real whores.
There is no Whore…like a Russian Whore! They are pro's at that!
That being said…isn't it ironic that every missile system failed to down one Israeli Aircraft?
I guess Israel is a few technological steps ahead?
Kosse E mack @Why russians do not shoot down Israel's planes ? because Netanyahu as Poroshenko (Ukraine) will sacrifice this country and people for the sake of his American friends. Military fanatics from a psychiatric hospital … they must be treated, not shoot down. They have been brainwashed from childhood to their exclusiveness by their severe religion rules. Therefore, if Russians defeat Israel and they lose, they will commit suicide with their atomic bomb – then, guess who – Russia will be to blame.
I see what your mean and you're right: Ruissa is the greatest and coolest country in the world.
Russia wanted to join the NATO in the 90s!
Who is selling wepoans to Wahabites and other muslims?
Israel "Friend" Merkel is now selling Turkey 6 Submarines!Even Erdogan is dreaming from a new Kalifat and sayed BALKAN is his territory.
They have everything they need? then Explain Putin…in reality Syria and Iran will win the battle but both countries will be heavily damaged…the reason why I know Syria and Iran will defeat Israel is because its in the bible and for one Israel will have to resort to the Samsung option because they will be loosing too many casualties..
'…for you have perverted justice to hemlock and the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
Scumbags, like you, that use the fruit of righteousness to advocate for indiscriminate mass murder and holocaust, they should burn you out.
The Targum which you have offered is incorrect. It should read, 'The harsh prophecy concerning Damascus; Behold Damascus shall be removed from [being] a city, and it shall be depth of ruins.' There is a complete destruction for Yerushalayim that comes from haShem and is justified, not harsh.
8. Now, come write it on a tablet with them, and on a book engrave it, and it shall be for the last day, forever to eternity.
14. And He shall break it like the breaking of a potter's jug, crushed without pity, and in its crushing shall not be found a shard, to scoop fire from a hearth, or to scoop water from the ditch.
no probleblem for IDF they may have or not s300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000 they will be destroyed .
lol, the danger is when there is nothing to be destroyed IDF will destroy who ?

Noir's Goon Squad: Jeff Donnell (This Goon's a Gal)
Jeff Donnell just seemed nice. Maybe that's why she was the resident Nice Girl of film noir. She was always cast as the chipper best friend, or the perky wife, or the goofy roommate. No matter the role, she was almost always called upon to project a certain affability and intrinsic kindness. Maybe it came easy, or maybe she just made it look easy. Either way, in a genre of femme fatales she was la femme par excellence.
It must be said, though, that Donnell didn't just bring big brown eyes and a shy smile to her roles. In her quiet way, she always seemed just a bit savvier than everyone around her. Her best known role was probably in the Nicholas Ray masterpiece In A Lonely Place (1950) where she played the wife of cop Frank Lovejoy. Of all the characters in the plot, she's the one who most clearly sees that drunken screenwriter Humphrey Bogart is a violent, misogynist loon. In a film full of great performances, Donnell's restrained turn can be overlooked. But go back and watch the film again and you'll see the way her steady, all-seeing presence unnerves Bogart from the get-go. She was perfectly paired here with Lovejoy, who was the great Everyman of film noir. Maybe Donnell was noir's great Everywoman.
Donnell hailed from Maine where her father was the superintendent of a reformatory for boys. She was born Jean Marie Donnell in 1921, but as a girl she adopted the nickname "Jeff" after the Mutt & Jeff comic strip. She caught the acting bug early and studied drama at the Leland Powers School in Boston and later enrolled in the Yale School of Drama. By 1942, she was in Hollywood under contract to Columbia Pictures, where her first appearances were billed as "Miss Jeff Donnell" to avoid any confusion.
Jeff Donnell in 1946's Night Editor.
Her first few years in the business were frustrating. Cast in bit parts, she often went uncredited or saw her parts end up on the editing room floor. The emerging genre of film noir, however, turned out to have a place for her. Her first noir was the underrated 1946 Night Editor, which stars William Gargan as a married cop who gets mixed up with a beautiful psycho played by Janis Carter. Donnell was cast as Gargan's doe-eyed wife and has to watch in horror as her man is very nearly pulled down into hell by a sexy she-devil. It's not a showy role by any means, but Donnell, as always, is imminently believable and likable.
Throughout the forties, she was a reliable performer for Columbia, which occasionally loaned her out to other studios like Republic for work on individual films. She did work on the Boston Blackie mystery series (The Phantom Thief) and put in her time in musicals (Carolina Blues), westerns (Outcasts Of The Trail), and even the odd musical western (Throw A Saddle On A Star).
In the fifties, she did more noir work. In 1950—the same year she helped smoke out Bogart in In A Lonely Place—she showed up briefly in Walk Softly, Stranger, co-starring alongside Joseph Cotton and Alida Valli. Donnell has a scene as Cotton's jilted girlfriend and gets to display a little more fire than usual. In 1953, playing Anne Baxter's spunky, mystery-reading roommate, she helped bring some comic relief to Fritz Lang's dark and deadly The Blue Gardenia (written by Charles Hoffman from a story by Vera Caspary).
Jeff Donnell and Frank Lovejoy in In A Lonely Place.
By this time, the roles had started to shrink and Donnell turned to television for work. She made appearances in early anthology shows like Schlitz Playhouse, Studio 57, and Playhouse 90.
Then in 1957, she got a juicy role as Tony Curtis's tenderhearted secretary/girlfriend in Sweet Smell Of Success. She was excellent—conveying a sense of almost masochistic devotion to Curtis's slimy bottom feeder—but much of her performance wound up being cut out of the film because director Alexander Mackendrick felt that her scenes made Curtis appear too sympathetic.
SEE ALSO: More mugs (and molls) in Noir's Goon Squad!
After her film career had cooled, she worked more and more in television, becoming one of those familiar faces who seemed to pop up on everything from Perry Mason to Love, American Style. She did some work on the live action series The Amazing Spider-Man, becoming the first actor to play Peter Parker's Aunt Mae onscreen. She still made some move appearances in the sixties (she played Gidget's mother in two movies), but by the seventies, she was almost exclusively on television. Her longest lasting role was in the eighties on General Hospital, playing a rich man's housekeeper. When Donnell died suddenly in her sleep in 1988 at the age of 66, the soap opera wrote her off the show by having her character win the lottery and move away.
Donnell always stayed relatively positive about her place in Hollywood—a good mindset for any character actor. Not long before she died, she told an interviewer, "I wasn't the pretty type and I certainly wasn't glamorous, so I always felt fortunate to be acting. My first concern was for my family, so I never developed a driving ambition. I consider myself a very lucky person."
