TurboGrafx-16 Mini Review
A treasure trove of obscure retro gaming
By Will Greenwald
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/turbografx-16-mini
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini is the best retro remake of a game console you probably never played.
Huge selection of games
Attractive interface
Plays well
Far more shoot 'em ups than games of other genres
PC Engine games are in Japanese
Chassis feels slightly cheap
The 8- and 16-bit console generations were dominated by Nintendo and Sega, which already have excellent retro models in the forms of the NES Classic, the Super NES Classic, and the Sega Genesis Mini. The NEC PC Engine, probably know it better by its Western name, the TurboGrafx-16, got plenty of excellent games of its own, though not as many Americans played them because the system wasn't nearly as popular. This makes the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, produced by Konami, an excellent opportunity for Western gamers to try out something that's old for the industry, but new for them. It packs 50 different PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16 games into one $99.99 package that looks just like the original system, opening up a whole new library of retro titles you might not have played before. That's enough for the TurboGrafx-16 Mini to earn our Editors' Choice.
Despite its name, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini is surprisingly large compared with the SNES Classic, Sega Genesis Mini, and PlayStation Classic. In fact, at 1.2 by 9.4 by 6.2 inches (HWD), it's actually bigger than the Japan-only PC Engine and European CoreGrafx versions of the system (of which there are retro versions, just like the TurboGrafx-16 Mini). So this isn't much of a "mini" console at all—it's simply a retro compilation system.
You Can Trust Our Reviews
The system oozes early '90s style, with a chunky black plastic design covered in stylistic ridges and sporting the console's classic orange-and-yellow logo on the top. A molded slot on the front and top mimics the game card slot on the original system, and is flanked by a power switch and two USB ports. The back is covered with a trapezoidal shell that pops off to reveal a smaller, flat-topped protrusion where the TurboGrafx-CD add-on would be mounted on the old hardware.
Molded labels on the top panel point out where the antenna switch and power adapter connectors would be on the original, but those components aren't present on this version. Instead, an HDMI port sits on the back edge of the console, to the right of the TurboGrafx-CD protrusion, while a micro USB port for power sits in a recess within the plastic extension. A cutout in the removable shell lets you replace it on the back of the system and run both cables out to a power adapter (not included) and your TV while hiding the ugly, TurboGrafx-CD-less plastic block on the back. A micro USB cable and HDMI cable are both included.

Controller and Build Quality
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini comes with one controller, mounted on a generous 10-foot cable ending in a USB plug. It's a faithful reproduction of the TurboPad, the original TurboGrafx-16's controller. The gamepad is rectangular, with a very similar configuration to the NES controller. It features only two face buttons on the right, I and II, along with a circular direction pad with a prominent plus shape on top and Run and Select buttons in the middle. Two three-way sliding switches sit above the I and II buttons, providing turbo fire of two different rhythms for each control.
The system and controller look great, but the build quality feels a bit cheap. The system is made of a fairly light black plastic with a matte finish, and along with its larger size, it doesn't feel quite as dense as the multiple textures, finishes, and colors on different parts of the NES Classic, SNES Classic, or Genesis Mini. The gamepad is made of the same plastic, and doesn't have the bulletproof feel of the NES and SNES Classic controllers. On the bright side, the controls are very responsive under the thumbs.
Interface and Game List
Turning the TurboGrafx-16 Mini on boots up a system that features the same attractive interface and polish as the Nintendo and Sega systems. The console opens to a retro-styled TurboGrafx-16 menu displaying a row of tiles showing the cover art of TurboGrafx-16 games arranged by release date (you can also arrange the games alphabetically). This only shows half of the available games, however.
Navigating to the PC Engine icon in the corner of the screen leaves this menu and loads a Japanese PC Engine-styled menu with a similar row of cover art tiles for the PC Engine games on the system. You can't combine the two collections into one master list; you need to switch between the consoles. It's slightly inconvenient, but the variety of aesthetic changes between the two menus adds some pleasant variety, and highlights the fact that, when you load a PC Engine game, you're loading a game that wasn't available in the United States until now.
That brings us to the TurboGrafx-16's game list. It's an impressive collection of over 50 titles across the TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine, including both games released on HuCard/Turbo Chip cards and TurboGrafx-CD/Super CD-ROM optical discs. While none have quite the name recognition factor of Mario for Nintendo or Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega, fans of the TurboGrafx-16 will certainly recognize the caveman boy Bonk in Bonk's Revenge, and PC Engine enthusiasts will be thrilled to see Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (technically "Devil Castle Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, in Japanese).
Standout games on the system include Bomberman '93 and '94, Bonk's Revenge, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Cho Aniki, Gradius, Lords of Thunder, R-Type, Salamander, and Snatcher. There are also some excellent JRPGs and dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Explorer, Neutopia, Neutopia 2, and Ys Books I & II, and several nearly arcade-perfect platformers like Daimakaimura (Ghouls & Ghosts in North America), Ninja Ryukenden (Ninja Gaiden), and Ninja Spirit.
If you can't tell from the inclusion of no less than five shoot 'em ups (shmups) in that list, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini is a fantastic system for scrolling shooter fans. There are well over a dozen quality shmups here, including obscure and unusual ones like Cho Aniki, Psychosis, and Star Parodier.
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is perhaps the singular best game on the TurboGrafx-16 Mini. This was the precursor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and stands as the last and perhaps best linear, level-based Castlevania game in the series (before Symphony of the Night took it into a much more exploration-focused direction). Snatcher, a narrative-driven cyberpunk mystery game by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima, would stand alongside Rondo of Blood as a must-play experience on the system, except for one potential flaw: It's in Japanese.
Some Translation Required
The TurboGrafx-16 games on the console are the North American releases in English, but the PC Engine games are all in the original Japanese, with no translation. This isn't an issue for Rondo of Blood, which has English menus anyway and is focused on action rather than narrative, but it makes games like Snatcher, along with RPGs like Jaseiken Necromancer and Super Momotaro Densetsu II, completely unplayable unless you can read Japanese. Obviously translating games is expensive and time-consuming, but at least for Snatcher Konami could have used the translation made for the North American Sega CD version of the game. It's incredibly disappointing not to be able to play it, considering how influential Hideo Kojima has become to gaming worldwide.
While the device is emulation-based, you won't find many emulator tricks on the TurboGrafX-16 Mini. It's equipped with the same four-slots-per-game save state system as the NES and SNES Classic and Genesis Mini, and has the same dearth of any other extra features as those retro consoles. Graphics options are limited to aspect ratio tweaks and a fun but distracting frame that lets you play games on a virtual TurboDuo (a portable TurboGrafx-16 system) on your TV, and simulated scan lines. That's it; you can't remap buttons or use any other graphical enhancements. Modifying or augmenting the list of games on the system is out (officially, of course; modders can work wonders with anything by risking damage to their devices).
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini felt brisk and responsive when playing various games on it. While the gamepad is light, the circular direction pad let me make precise maneuvers in shmups, and the face buttons didn't fail any presses.
The games themselves are loads of fun. The selection is weighed heavily toward shmups, but Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is a fantastic platformer, and I enjoyed the simple RPG gameplay of Ys Books I & II. As always, Bomberman is a fun party game, which is why it's unfortunate a second TurboPad isn't included (additional controllers are $24.99, and the Turbo Tap five-port USB hub enables up to five players for the two Bomberman games, Bomberman Panic Bomber, Dungeon Explorer, and Moto Roader).
And despite my inability to play Snatcher due to the language barrier, I had no problem finding plenty of games on the system I could happily dive into.
If You Haven't Played It, It's New to You
The TurboGrafx-16 is one of the most surprising retro game consoles, and it's also one of the most fun. While its library isn't as iconic as the NES, SNES, or Sega Genesis, there's some genuine gold to be found here. If you never spent any time with NEC and Hudson Soft's system when it was first out, or missed many of the best games because they only came out in Japan, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about and play some of the gems you missed. The TurboGrafx-16 earns our Editors' Choice for being a retro console that offers new experiences to most American gamers.

EJ, a fifth generation family-owned company headquartered in Michigan, USA, has celebrated the official opening of its new production facility in Birr, Co Offaly
L-R: Dr Norah Patten, scientist-astronaut candidate pictured with the president of EJ, Tracy Malpass.
EJ, a fifth generation family-owned company headquartered in Michigan, USA, has celebrated the official opening of its new production facility in Birr, Co Offaly.
The company has operated the facility on its two-hectare site in Birr since June of last year.
EJ provides a full line of access solutions for the infrastructure systems of municipalities, utility companies, airport and port authorities, and private industries.
Traditional materials of grey or ductile cast iron
In addition to traditional materials of grey or ductile cast iron, a continuously expanding array of innovative solutions are offered in composites, fabricated steel and aluminium. EJ supplies products worldwide to infrastructure projects in six continents.
The facility was officially opened by Dr Norah Patten, a leading Irish engineer who is bidding to become Ireland's first-ever astronaut. She is an award-winning STEM advocate and is a faculty member at the International Space University.
As well as the official opening, EJ also announced the launch of its new range of access covers, manufactured from lightweight composite materials.
Padraig Freeman, vice-president of EJ, said: "Investing in our Irish facility allows us to serve local and European market needs from Birr.
"It demonstrates not only our commitment to Ireland but to our wider European customers. We are now exporting high performance composite access solutions to several European markets. IDA's support enabled us strengthen our offering and diversify our production facility."
Dr Vincent Cooper, composite product manager at EJ, said: "It is fitting to have Dr Norah Patten here today to speak about the use of advanced composites in the Space industry and the importance of quality research and product development.
Composites used extensively in space applications
"Composites are used extensively in space applications where high-strength, lightweight materials offer huge savings in fuel. In the construction industry, the benefits of lighter weight access covers include easier handling, reduced transportation costs and a better carbon footprint."
Breda O'Toole, head of product development and transformation IDA Ireland, said: "It is great to see a leader in manufacturing sustain their investment in the midlands region.
"EJ in Birr is testament to what a strong team of talented people can achieve in a regional location. On behalf of IDA Ireland, I would like to congratulate the EJ team on successfully developing their manufacturing facility in Birr and wish them continued success."

Smuggler project near Aspen a success
Aspen Correspondent
ASPEN, Colorado – Efforts to slow the spread of mountain pine beetles on Smuggler Mountain near Aspen last summer were successful, according to the research entomologist who analyzed the data from the experiment.
Whether the $110,000 project bears repeating on Smuggler or elsewhere is up to local governments to decide.
For the Forest, a local nonprofit that was a partner in the project, is willing to help fund a second year of work on Smuggler, said John Bennett, the group's executive director, during closing remarks at a forest health symposium held Thursday in Aspen.
Last summer, For the Forest, the city of Aspen and Pitkin County teamed up to fund the removal of 202 lodgepole pines infested with beetle larvae and remove them from the mountain, followed by the application of a pheromone that fools adult beetles into leaving healthy trees alone.
Nearby stands on Smuggler where nothing was done saw an attack rate by the beetles that was six times higher than in the project area, according to Nancy Gillette, principal research entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service's Southwest Research Station.
"It worked," she summed up succinctly.
Still to be done is an analysis of wind-direction data that will help researchers determine whether the insects moved from the Smuggler project area into adjacent stands, but Gillette said it appears that did not occur. Where treated and untreated stands bordered each other, the attack rate in the untreated stands weren't noticeably higher right across the border, she said.
Insects forced to move on may have depleted their reserves with all the flying about and failed to reproduce in other, unprotected trees at all, she theorized.
Gillette also pegged tree species diversity as a factor that helps a forest fight the beetle, and said less dense stands – where tree health is better – helped lodgepoles ward off the insects.
Thinning trees would be a logical first step to help slow the spread of beetles, she said.
Removal of the brood trees, she added, was a key piece.
The project would not have been nearly as effective without that step, according to Gillette.
Removal of the trees, however, was not cheap. They were cut and then hauled to a central site on the mountain with use of a helicopter. There, they were trimmed and then trucked off the mountain.
The experiment took place on about 130 acres of open space owned by the city and county on Smuggler, as well as on adjacent private property. Adjacent land within the national forest that was not treated was used for the comparison.

Antiracism as a Neoliberal Alternative to the Left
* Article: Antiracism: a neoliberal alternative to a left. By Adolph Reed Jr. Dialectical Anthropology volume 42, pages105–1152, 2018
URL = https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10624-017-9476-3
"Antiracist politics now is fundamentally antagonistic to a left politics of broadly egalitarian social transformation."
Contextual Quote
"In the antiracist political project white supremacy/racism is—like "terrorism"—an amorphous, ideological abstraction whose specific content exists largely in the eyes of the beholder. Therefore, like antiterrorism, antiracism's targets can be porous and entirely arbitrary; this means that, also like antiterrorism, the struggle can never be won. .. Winning anything concrete is not the point. The "politics" that follows from this view centers on pursuit of recognition and representation on groupist terms—both as symbolic depiction in the public realm and as claims to articulate the interests, perspectives, or "voices" of a generic black constituency or some subset thereof, e.g., "youth" or "grassroots." It is not interested in broadly egalitarian redistribution. .. this antiracist politics is neither leftist in itself nor particularly compatible with a left politics as conventionally understood. At this political juncture, it is, like bourgeois feminism and other groupist tendencies, an oppositional epicycle within hegemonic neoliberalism, one might say a component of neoliberalism's critical self-consciousness; it is thus in fact fundamentally anti-leftist. .. The current race-reductionist politics centers on exposé and demands for recognition, not egalitarian redistribution. Its project is elimination of disparities within a regime of intensifying economic inequality, which antiracism takes as given. .. Antiracists are not concerned with trying to generate the large, broad political base needed to pursue a transformative agenda because they are committed fundamentally to pursuit of racial parity within neoliberalism, not social transformation.
- Adolph Reed [1]
Adolph Reed:
"Antiracist activism and scholarship proceed from the view that statistical disparities in the distribution by race of goods and bads in the society in which blacks appear worse off categorically (e.g., less wealth, higher rates of unemployment, greater incidence of hypertensive and cardiovascular disease) amount to evidence that "race" remains fundamentally determinative of black Americans' lives. As Merlin Chowkwanyun and I argue, however, disparity is an outcome, not an explanation, and deducing cause simplistically from outcome (e.g., treating racially disparate outcomes as ipso facto evidence of racially invidious causation) seems sufficient only if one has already stacked the interpretive deck in favor of a particular causal account (Reed and Chowkwanyun 2012, 167–168). We also discuss a garbage in, garbage out effect in studies that rely on large-scale aggregate data analysis; gross categories like race may mask significant micro-level dynamics that could present more complex and nuanced understandings of causality. Put another way, if you go out looking for racial effects in data sets that are organized by race as gross categories, you will be likely to find them, but that will not necessarily lead to sound interpretations of the factors that actually produce the inequalities. As likely as not that purblind approach can lead to missing "the extent to which particular inequalities that appear statistically as 'racial' disparities are in fact embedded in multiple social relations" (Reed and Chowkwanyun 2012, 150–151, 158–159). This issue is not a concern for antiracist politics because its fundamental goal is propagation of the view that inequalities or injustices suffered by black Americans should be understood as resulting from generic white racism. Its objective, that is, is rhetorical and ideological, not political and programmatic.
Antiracist discourse posits White Supremacy/racism as a totalizing phenomenon, a force impervious to changing institutional circumstances—a primordial foundation of being, just as the White League contended in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The thrust of the Take 'Em Down NOLA argument, for example, is that: (1) the monuments were erected to celebrate white supremacist power, which was the foundation of slavery, lynching and brutalization of black New Orleanians, disfranchisement, imposition of Jim Crow, and denial of blacks' basic civil rights. (2) The fact that they remain on display in the present underscores the continuity of White Supremacy's power. (3) That continuity indicates that, as in the past, contemporary racial inequalities most meaningfully result from white supremacy, which therefore must be the primary target of struggles for social and racial justice.
But adducing a causal dynamic that underlay a political conjuncture in the past to support a claim about causality in the present presumes that the same dynamics operated in the past and present. That is, the race-reductionist formulation advanced to validate the claim of white supremacy's overarching power presumes what it needs to demonstrate. Sociologist Mara Loveman follows Rogers Brubaker, Pierre Bourdieu, and others in arguing that this interpretive problem and the confusions that generate it can be addressed by "abandoning 'race' as a category of analysis to gain analytical leverage to study 'race' as a category of practice" (Loveman 1999, 895–896; Brubaker and Cooper 2000; Bourdieu 1991). She embraces historian Barbara J. Fields's assessment that "attempts to explain 'racial phenomena' in terms of 'race' are no more than definitional statements" and argues that "Rejection of 'race' as an analytical concept facilitates analysis of the historical construction of 'race' as a practical category without reification, and thus provides a degree of analytical leverage that tends to be foreclosed when race is used analytically"" (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10624-017-9476-3)
Antiracist politics is a class politics
"Antiracist politics is a class politics; it is rooted in the social position and worldview, and material interests of the stratum of race relations engineers and administrators who operate in Democratic party politics and as government functionaries, the punditry and commentariat, education administration and the professoriate, corporate, social service and nonprofit sectors, and the multibillion-dollar diversity industry. That stratum comes together around a commonsense commitment to the centrality of race—and other categories of ascriptive identity—as the appropriate discursive framework through which to articulate norms of justice and injustice and through which to formulate remedial responses. It has grown and become deeply embedded institutionally throughout the society as an entailment of the victories of the 1960s. As the society moves farther away from the regime of subordination and exclusion on explicitly racial terms to which race-reductionist explanations were an immediately plausible response, race has become less potent as the dominant metaphor, or blanket shorthand, through which class hierarchy is lived. And as black and white elites increasingly go through the same schools, live in the same neighborhoods, operate as peers in integrated workplaces, share and interact in the same social spaces and consumption practices and preferences, they increasingly share another common sense not only about frameworks of public policy but also about the proper order of things in general.
Those quotidian realities put pressure on the reductionist premise that racial subordination remains the dominant ideological or material framework generating and sustaining systemically reproduced inequalities and class power. This tension underlies a source the appeal of ontological views of racism as an animate force that transcends time and context. Because it is an evanescent Evil that is disconnected from specific human purposes and patterns of social relations, racism, again like "terrorism," can exist anywhere at any time under any manifest conditions and is a cause that needs no causes or explanation.
Antiracism's class character helps to understand why its adherents are so intensely committed to it even though it is so deeply flawed analytically and has generated so little popular traction politically. One layer of its appeal derives simply from habit buttressed with a simulacrum of familiarity engendered by the naïve conceptions of black political history that prompted Willie Legette's deathless observation that "The only thing that hasn't changed about black politics since 1965 is how we think about it" (Warren et al. 2016). People think about black politics as a unitary, transhistorical "freedom movement" or "liberation struggle" because that is how scholarly and popular discussion of black Americans' political activity has been framed almost universally since the academic study of black politics and political thought took shape during the 1950s and 1960s, and especially after the institutionalization of black studies as a field of study in the academic mainstream through the 1970s to 1990s. The guild interest in carving out and protecting the boundaries of a field of study and interpretive authority over its subject matter converges with the broader class interest in maintaining managerial and interpretive authority in the political economy of race relations.
Neoliberal privatization also has produced greatly expanded commercial and career opportunities for black (and Latino, female, etc.) entrepreneurs under the rubric of community "empowerment," "role modeling," or "social entrepreneurialism" in a vast third sector economy driven by a nonprofit sector likely as not committed to privatizing public goods in the name of localist authenticity and doing well by doing good, as well as the steadily growing diversity industry. These developments legitimize an ideal of social justice shriveled to little more than enhancement of opportunity for individual upward mobility—within the strictures of neoliberal accumulation by dispossession.
Black professional-managerial class embeddedness has become increasingly solidified with the Clinton/Obama/Emanuel wing of the Democratic party's aggressive commitment to a left-neoliberalism centered on advancement of Wall Street and Silicon Valley economic interests and strong support for social justice defined in identity group terms. But that is necessarily a notion of social justice and equality that is disconnected from political economy and the capitalist class dynamics that generate the most profound inequalities in the society."

Q: In data Insert script how to put parent record's id in child record? I m creating a database insert script which involve a parent and a child table.
Parent record's auto-generated id will be inserted to child record as reference key.
Question is I don't know in script how to tell SQL server to use inserted parent records's id in child table record as reference. Please help me how to put parent id in child insert statement.

A: At the top of your code do this:
DECLARE @parent_id int

Then, immediately after you do the insert into the parent table, do this:
SELECT @parent_id = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

That retrieves the id of the most recent insert into the parent table.
Finally, in your insert into the child table, do something like this:
INSERT INTO child_table (parent_id, colA, colB, colC) SELECT @parent_id, valueA, valueB, valueC;

(I just made up valueA, etc.--you know what your insert into the child will look like, just make sure to match up parent_id with @parent_id.

A: In case you have bulk inserts in your table you can grab inserted ids directly in insert statement and then use those values for further processing of child entities. For example:
Declare @out Table(id int, some_col int)

Insert Into SomeTable(some_col)
Output inserted.id, inserted.some_col Into @out
Values(5),(6)

Now you have in your table variable inserted identities along with some other column values if you need.
In case of seperate inserts one by one, you can also use Scope_Identity or @@Identity depending on your logic.

A: may be this works fine
CREATE TABLE PARENT
(
 Pid int primary key identity(1,1)
 ,Pdescription varchar(100)
)

CREATE TABLE Child

(
ChildId int primary key identity(1,1)
,PidcHILD int foreign key references parent(pid )

)
CREATE TABLE #TEMPChild

(
PidcHILD int
)

BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO PARENT
OUTPUT inserted.Pid
INTO #TEMPChild(PidcHILD)
VALUES('Record1');

INSERT INTO Child(PidcHILD)-- Add other columns here for child table
SELECT PidcHILD FROM #TEMPChild

COMMIT TRAN

SELECT * FROM Child
SELECT * FROM  PARENT

A: step-1: get max(pid) form Parent table.
step-2: store in variable.
step-3: insert this variable into child table .

It's hard to start a business in the Bay Area. And even harder to make it successful. We're inspired by the couples who have done it together and have decided to highlight them every week in our "Bay Area Power Couples" blog series.
Talk about a power couple: Derek Fagerstrom and Lauren Smith fearlessly helm both the adorable, creatively-curated Curiosity Shoppe on Valencia St. and the city's feather-ruffling new media experience Pop-Up Magazine as creative directors. Their biggest and most exciting project yet? Read and find out!
DEREK: We met when we were 18 year old kids at UC Santa Cruz. We ended up collaborating on a project for a class about museum curating, and we haven't left each others side since.
Which came first, the Curiosity Shoppe or Pop-Up Magazine?
LAUREN: We opened the Curiosity Shoppe on Valencia Street in 2007, and produced the first issue of Pop-Up magazine in the Spring of 2009.
How did the ideas for each come about, and how do you collaborate on each?
DEREK: We came up with the idea for the Curiosity Shoppe when we were still living in New York. I was a magazine editor and Lauren was working for the designer Todd Oldham. Being in those industries we made a lot of friends who were artists and designers and we thought it would be a fun to open a shop that celebrated their work. We had also been curating art shows and events since our days in Santa Cruz, so we wanted to make sure we had a gallery space as well.
LAUREN: Pop-Up magazine was something our friend Doug McGray had been thinking about for a while. With Derek's background in magazines and our experience curating shows and events, it made a lot of sense for us to help make Pop-Up happen.
Tell me a little about working at the Curiosity Shoppe together, as opposed to Pop Up. Which is more hectic? Which causes more fights, or more respect between the two of you?
LAUREN: The Curiosity Shoppe is a true Mom & Pop operation and requires a lot more hands-on day-to-day maintenance. We do everything from sweeping the sidewalk, to buying, website upkeep, merchandising, bookkeeping, curating gallery shows, PR, etc, etc, etc.... We have 2 wonderful employees that keep us sane, but there's always more to be done.
DEREK: Pop-Up is like most magazines in that we do a lot of constructive thinking, planning, and meeting between issues, but it doesn't get super nutty until a couple weeks before the actual show. And it's funny, a lot of people ask us how we can live and work together without killing each other, but it really seems like to most natural thing in the world for us. I value Lauren's opinion more than anyone's.
What's it like having so many literary big-wigs fawn over Pop-Up Magazine?
DEREK: I think one of the things that makes Pop-Up so interesting to work on (and so fun to see live) is that it's a unique opportunity for a diverse group of fascinating people to get together in one place to share their passions and their projects. And I think it's natural that intelligent, curious people would be excited about participating in that either as a contributor or audience member.
The best and worst things about working with your spouse?
DEREK: The Best: The gray line between work and pleasure. The Worst: The gray line between work and pleasure.
What do you do to get away from both these businesses, or even from each other, since with two projects like these, you must need alone time?
DEREK: Since we live and work together, to really "get away" from our work we kind of have to really get away. We have family around the Bay Area so we'll head out of town to see them, or go camping, or on little day trips. Sometimes just leaving Valencia Street feels like an adventure.
LAUREN: And even though we do a lot together, we both have our little projects and obsessions that we enjoy exploring on our own.
Do you have any new projects planned for the future?
LAUREN: We've got a Pop-Up Sidebar planned in collaboration with the SFMOMA on March 17th, and a couple other Pop-Up's on the horizon: New York in May, and back in San Francisco at the Opera House in June! Our other big project (perhaps our biggest project yet!) is a baby that is due any day now!
Any advice for couples who own businesses or run serious creative endeavors together, or are thinking about it?
LAUREN: If you have a strong relationship, there's nothing more rewarding than collaborating with your partner or spouse. But if it doesn't go like you planned or you find your relationship strained, drop it. No business or project or creative endeavor is more important than love.

Luciterra Brings Fusion Style Belly Dance to Gastown
Written by Gastown Admin
Photo credit: Lindsay Elliott
Does everyone come from a different background in dance?
Yes, we all have different backgrounds and came to this dance in different ways. Some of us grew up in ballet, modern and jazz, while others didn't really discover a love for dance until they found belly dance. We love that we all have different backgrounds and different elements to bring to the table when choreographing.
How do you define fusion style belly dance? What is the difference between fusion style versus traditional belly dance?
That is actually a tricky question. A lot of belly dance that people see and think of as "traditional" is actually a fusion style itself, incorporating elements of ballet and creating a stage show, as opposed to the purely folkloric dances. But for us, the main difference is that we explicitly incorporate other dance forms into our dance and often use contemporary western music. We are definitely a product of our cultural environment, and our cultural environment is a modern North American context. However, we are all deeply inspired by the movements inherent in dance forms from North Africa, the Middle East, and India, and have studied these forms for many years; so the essence of belly dance technique is still the prominent dance form we use.
What are your thoughts on the belly dance community in Vancouver?
We are really lucky in Vancouver! We have heard stories that dance communities in various cities can be competitive and catty, but in Vancouver, we are blessed to have a very supportive and collaborative community of dancers. There are many events we do that involve many different dancers and genres of belly dance. Generally, we are friends and comrades with those in the community, and maintain good professional relationships. If this art form is going to continue to grow, it is so important that the community is supportive and works together.
Is there a story behind how Luciterra was formed?
Two of us (Laura and Amber) have been dancing together as a duo under the name Vital Divine and Gillian was dancing solo. We all met in dance class and thought we would like to collaborate on a piece. Naomi was more new to dance but came to all our shows and was working hard on her dancing. Amber went to Uganda for six months to complete her Masters' research, and at this time, the other three started working together. When Amber returned, the four of us naturally fell into sync and the deep bond that is Luciterra was solidified.
Are there any artists or performers that influence all of your work?
There are many! Although we teach and work as professional dancers, we all continue to train, as we believe in being lifelong students of this dance, so many of our teachers inspire us including: Suhaila Salimpour, Colleena Shakti, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes and Samantha Emanuel. We are also inspired by burlesque aesthetics and are lucky to have great burlesque performers here in Vancouver, who inspires us. We also draw inspiration from North American styles such as hip hop and pop locking. We often collaborate with circus performer, Chris Murdoch. His contemporary circus style has a great influence on us.

What can people expect from a Luciterra show?
One thing we have often been told is that you can expect to have your preconceived ideas about belly dance blown apart. We use a diverse array of music, from Balkan and Middle Eastern, to electronic and swing, so you can expect great diversity from us. At our monthly show at Guilt and Co, we collaborate with Chris Murdoch, which adds a somewhat neo-vaudeville element to our show, blending belly dance with circus. We are often told ours is an exciting and dynamic show, and that people really never know what to expect.
What inspired Luciterra to combine so many art forms in one show?
Great question! We are so fortunate to be able to witness so many amazing, diverse art forms in our community to draw influence from, and have had the chance to study with great teachers of many different styles. All of these influences blended together felt like a natural outcome of the cultural context we live in. Believe it or not, in North America there is a long history of circus and belly dance being used together dating back to the 1890s, so we aren't exactly doing something completely new. And we are certainly not the only ones to be doing this. The whole development of a new fusion form of dance is a truly now a global phenomenon.
Your performances require a lot of energy and precision. How does the Luciterra team prepare for an upcoming show?
We work hard! Luciterra has a minimum of two, four-hour rehearsals a week, but before a big show we will have three or four per week. On top of that, we teach seven classes a week, and each of us maintains our own personal dance and strength training practice. Aside from the actual dancing, there are many other elements to prepare for a show such as: designing and sewing costumes, editing music, developing promotional material, all of which we (for the most part) do ourselves. Basically we eat, breath and live this dance!
Have you encountered a surprising moment while you were performing on stage?
Yes. There was an incident that comes to mind. As I mentioned, we often sew our own costumes and during one performance one of our bra straps snapped right off while onstage. It was definitely a surprise to say the least! Luckily, the dancer was able to maintain professionalism and calmly exit the stage to quickly change into a costume for the following number. Now we all double sew all our seams!
You have all performed at many high profile events all over the city – what do you love the most about performing at Guilt & Company?
Guilt & Co feels like home! Yes, we do many shows but having our regular show, the Decadent Eccentric, every month really pushes us to develop new and dynamic numbers and to hone our craft. Also the room has such a great atmosphere for the sort of neo-vaudeville style show that we do. It feels comfortable and casual yet elegant at the same time, and the staff are always so nice and supportive of us!
What are some of the upcoming plans for Luciterra?
Well, we have a few big shows in the works that we are producing ourselves! On April 12th, we have what is our most heartwarming show, our bi-annual student showcase where we get to present all the hard work our students have put in over the recent session of classes we teach. You can expect to see a lot more of Luciterra on the road, bringing our show to other cities around Canada and internationally.
On the last Tuesday of every month, Luciterra performs their dynamic show titled the Decadent Eccentric at Guilt & Company. You can catch their upcoming show next Tuesday, March 25th at 9 p.m.

On Feb. 18, diners at an exclusive Italian restaurant on Liverpool's Castle Street were disturbed by cries of joy. The club bosses of Bayern Munich, in town for the following night's Champions League tie with Liverpool, had just received news of Borussia Dortmund's score: 0-0 away to bottom side 1. FC Nurnberg.
Right on cue, last Saturday's 5-1 demolition of (an admittedly awful) Borussia Monchengladbach was a demonstration of supreme confidence and unprecedented fluidity in attack. Bayern are clearly enjoying the rush that comes from hunting down their prey, step-by-step, week after week, in contrast to the boredom of walking away with it for six successive years. "It's a more emotional season," executive chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said last week.
But in Dortmund, they have nice Italian restaurants too. There's one very close to the Signal Iduna stadium that BVB players love to frequent, and its VIP area could yet witness a party come the last day of the season on May 18.
Despite having their lead chipped away, the club have become a little more optimistic following the 1-0 defeat by Tottenham in Champions League that they can stay the course. "German champions: only BVB," the supporters on the "Yellow Wall" south stand were chanting after the final whistle on Tuesday night. They had seen enough to feel that a terrible run of seven winless games in eight across all competitions was merely a blip.
Durant said he thinks the Celtics need time to find a rhythm within their roster. Both Gordon Hayward and Irving missed the Celtics' strong playoff run last year, and the team has struggled to find consistency at times.
Many pundits picked the Celtics to reach the NBA Finals and play against Durant and the Warriors, but the Celtics currently sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, with a 38-26 record.
When the Warriors do face the Celtics, they will do so with several players battling nagging injuries. Backup center Kevon Looney will not play Tuesday after an MRI revealed pelvic inflammation, according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Looney took part in shooting drills after Monday's practice, so the injury does not appear too serious.
General manager Eric DeCosta estimated half of his week at the combine will be devoted to talking to agents, including those who represent middle linebacker C.J. Mosley, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, cornerback Jimmy Smith and safety Eric Weddle.
DeCosta expressed a desire to keep Mosley and Suggs. He was not as effusive when addressing Weddle and Smith.
Mosley, 26, was the Ravens' leading tackler last season and is Baltimore's highest-profile free agent this offseason. He is one of two players to record at least 500 tackles, eight sacks and eight interceptions since he entered the NFL in 2014 (Carolina's Luke Kuechly is the other).
The Buffalo Bills will be under pressure over the upcoming two months to improve what was the 30th-ranked offense in 2018 and put pieces around second-year quarterback Josh Allen, whose late-season play fueled optimism about his future.
This NFL offseason is a prime opportunity for teams to reshape their defensive lines. Of the 32 picks in ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper's latest mock draft, 13 are either defensive linemen or edge rushers — including the first five players off the board. Defensive linemen, especially pass-rushers, dominate the top of ESPN's top 50 free agents.
Some of those players might not be available to the Bills because of the franchise tag (in the case of free agents) or because they are drafted ahead of where Buffalo selects in the first round. But the Bills should not avoid adding to their defensive line in free agency or the draft simply because they have more pressing needs on offense.
The Bills' defensive line is in a state of flux. Stalwart defensive tackle Kyle Williams retired at the end of this past season, and rotational backup Jordan Phillips will become an unrestricted free agent March 13. Defensive end Jerry Hughes' contract expires after the 2019 season, as does that of fellow end Shaq Lawson.
Statistically, Hughes' production has tapered off since he posted back-to-back 10-sack seasons in 2013 and 2014. However, his impact was still felt with a team-high seven sacks in 2018, including three forced fumbles that matched his career high. Pro Football Focus graded Hughes as the NFL's seventh-best edge defender last season and the best player on Buffalo's roster.


Wales has two historic hoodoos to overcome if they hope to beat New Zealand in the first rugby test at Eden Park on Saturday.
They face the invidious personal record of not having beaten the All Blacks in 63 years, and will become part of the collective effort to end New Zealand's 21-year winning streak at the Auckland stadium.
Welsh hopes are high that both of those records might fall in the opening match of a three match series against an All Blacks team weakened by the retirements that followed last year's World Cup.
But the All Blacks are equally confident careful planning for the post-World Cup era has reduced any vulnerability they might have faced after the retirement of six players with a collective 700 test caps.

Woman Maoist Cadre Gunned Down by Police in Odisha
BHAWANIPATNA: A female Maoist cadre was shot dead during an encounter with the Odisha police in Kalahandi district today, the police said.
During a combing operation jointly conducted by the personnel of Special Operation Group (SOG) and District Voluntary Force (DVF), the security personnel confronted the Maoist operative and engaged in the fire exchange. SP Kalahandi Brijesh Rai today told reporters that based on prior information about movement of Maoist cadres in Kanamanjur Reserve Forest area, a combing operation was initiated.
"Around 4 PM near Supel along the banks of Sagada River, there was an exchange of fire, and it continued for about 25 minutes," he said adding the forest area was under Bhawanipatna Block. The Maoists escaped the spot leaving behind the body of a female cadre.
"The dead female cadre is yet to be identified. It is suspected that this ultra group belonged to the Bansadhara Ghumsar Nagavali division where Nikhil is the divisional commander," the SP said.
A .303 Rifle with magazine and ammunition, two detonators with flexible wire, transistor, knife, solar plates, battery chargers, Maoist literature and household articles were recovered from the spot by the police, the SP said. During the exchange of fire nine SOG and DVF personnel received minor injuries, he added.

LCCC to Host Civil Rights Activist Dr. Terrence Roberts, Member of "Little Rock Nine", on Jan. 18, 2016
published Tuesday, January 5, 2016
In honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) and the LCCC Student Government Association will host civil rights activist Dr. Terrence Roberts at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 18, at the Scheller-Woodman Community Services Center on LCCC's main campus in Schnecksville, Pa. The event is free and open to the public.
Roberts was one of the "Little Rock Nine," the first group of African American students who, in 1957, enrolled at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Roberts was 15 years old and in the 11th grade. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent U.S. Army troops to accompany the students to school for protection. The troops were stationed at the school for the entirety of the school year.
Roberts' 2009 memoir, "Lessons from Little Rock," details his childhood in the segregated South. The memoir serves as a testament to strength and fortitude of the members of the "Little Rock Nine."
In 1999, the Little Rock Nine were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by President Bill Clinton, the highest civilian award bestowed by Congress. The group was featured prominently at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Roberts earned his bachelor's degree from California State University at Los Angeles and his master's degree in social work from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He earned his doctorate in psychology from Southern Illinois University.
Today, Roberts is principal of the management-consulting firm, Terrence Roberts Consulting.
For more information on the event, please contact the Student Life office at 610-799-1146.

I've clearly not proven myself to be an effective blogger. However, I'm really hoping to change that in the coming months and years so that our friends and family across the country will be able to watch as our family grows and changes. That's right; we're having a baby! Robert and I took a marvelous two week vacation to Ireland in July and came home with an extra special souvenir. In late March, there will be a Baby Hardy.
The first few weeks were filled with excitement and anticipation and some anxiety and fear too. It was hard to keep it a secret from our family and our friends, but it was like this tiny little treasure that just Robert and I shared. We've enjoyed slowly letting the news out over the past couple of months and have loved the responses, the surprised looks, and the love and affirmation that we have received. Already, this baby is so loved and cherished.
It has been a tough pregnancy for me thus far. I always imagined that I would love being pregnant, being as maternal as I am. But the first few months of nausea and vomiting and pure exhaustion have not suited me particularly well. My energy level is creeping back and we're prayerful that my stomach will settle down some too so that I might enjoy this growing creature a little more. At 16 weeks now, the "glowing" second trimester ought to be setting in soon.
We'll find out on October 28 whether Baby is a boy or a girl. I think that will make it seem even more real as we begin to prepare in more practical ways and can start to imagine our lives with our little bundle of joy.
More than anything, I just feel thankful. I am overwhelmed by the feeling of this blessing and the sense of peace I feel when I consider committing ourselves to raising and loving and teaching and nurturing this child. When I pray for him (or her), I find myself praying primarily that he'll be healthy and joyful and will experience love in the many ways that we have. I pray that we will be able to serve as a Christ-like example to him and provide for him in the wonderful ways that our parents provided for us. I'm thrilled to be sharing this with Robert who I know will be an amazing father. I can't imagine it any other way. We are so grateful for this opportunity.


We're stepping it up another gear at The Meeting Room Elland in December where a real treat of musicianship awaits for all aficionados of old school rock and blues. Don't miss out on Rufus Black live – an exceptional band and much in demand since they took the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival in Colne by storm earlier this year!
As professional musicians, they've played some of UK's most established venues and festivals, including the O2 Arena, The Albert Hall, Shepherd's Bush Empire, Glastonbury Festival, Bestival, V Festival, T In The Park, Bluesfest, Ronnie Scott's and many, many more. Their unique sound demonstrates a genuine love for the music, with a raw and entirely convincing mix of soul fuelled blues/rock which brings to mind a whole mix of influences from 60's soul, Hendrix, Black Crowes, Free, Joe Cocker and Tedeschi Trucks to name but a few.
Brought together by Scott McKeon, whose guitar playing skills have supported the likes of Joe Bonamassa at the Royal Albert Hall as well as gracing the Hollywood Bowl and O2 in London with Tom Jones and Van Morrison. The band features five exceptional talents in the form of Gavin Condor on vocals (Whitesnake, Manfred Mann), Ben Jones (Mary J Blige, The Voice Band), bassist Leighton Allen (Kelvin Jones, The Hoosiers) and drummer Russ Parker (Robbie McIntosh, P P Arnold).
Providing the perfect warm up for Christmas, we're kicking off with The Revelator Band – renowned for their mesmerising ability to really get the party started! The Revelators are a joy to behold, setting fire to the stage and combining terrific rocking entertainment with musical tales of 'bad love, murdered lovers and daft romance'! Hat-attired front man Captain Barnaby Neale pogos around growling out his songs and also plays a mean harmonica with the band adding in guitar changes, harp changes, dancing, waste bin drumming and even squeeze box solos – post-punk attitude and blues but not as you know it!
This is our Christmas gig too, combining two incredible stage bands to bring you live music, great food and the best festive atmosphere around! It's a ticket-only affair and they've sold out early for the past three years, so make sure you get yours early!
Be there to enjoy the now legendary Christmas atmosphere at The Meeting Room Elland, complete with festive food in the shape of turkey and stuffing baps and pigs in blankets, all cooked freshly as usual by Richard, our old rocker in the kitchen aided and abetted by his merry band of Christmas helpers. Vegetarian option available of course!
Christmas doesn't get better than this! Book your place now at The Meeting Room Xmas Bash 2018 and rock your way into the festive season.

Why in Japan?
The chronic disease management system is developing quickly. In 2006, the Japan Chronic Disease Self-Management Association (J-CDSMA) was approved by the Japanese government as a non-profit organization. This organization was formed for the purpose of incorporating the principles of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), developed at Stanford University, into the Japanese healthcare system. Although disease management programs faced opposition by the Japan Medical Association because of concerns with quality issues early on, chronic disease management has, to a certain extent, been integrated into the Japanese healthcare system. In 2008, the Japanese government created the Tokugeti-Kenshin system, a program to prevent lifestyle diseases by allowing citizens between the ages of 40 to 74 to receive a free annual health checkup. In the private sector, DPP Health Partners (Hiroshima, Japan) was established in 2010 as the first disease management company in Japan, and a number of other disease management programs have followed.
Organizations such as the J-CDSMA do not provide disease management services, but they create a support network for chronic disease management in Japan. The J-CDSMA offers workshops that assist chronically ill patients on communicating with others, creating individualized "action plans," and empathizing with each other. Other organizations that comprise this support network include the Disease Management Association of Japan and the Japan Society for Health Support Sciences. With their contribution, the awareness of major chronic diseases is approximately 70% in Japan, but other chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) still have low awareness.
Global Market:
Chronic diseases and conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and arthritis—are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems.
As of 2012, about half of all adults—117 million people—had one or more chronic health conditions. One in four adults had two or more chronic health conditions. Seven of the top 10 causes of death in 2014 were chronic diseases. Two of these chronic diseases—heart disease and cancer—together accounted for nearly 46% of all deaths. Cardiovascular Diseases Therapeutics is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 4.1% globally. The top eight markets to grow are of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, UK and USA. Obesity is a serious health concern. During 2011–2014, more than one-third of adults (36%), or about 84 million people, were obese (defined as body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m2). About one in six youths (17%) aged 2 to 19 years was obese (BMI ≥95th percentile). Arthritis is the most common cause of disability.4 Of the 54 million adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis, more than 23 million say they have trouble with their usual activities because of arthritis. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations other than those caused by injury, and new cases of blindness among adults. Europe Autoimmune disease therapeutics market is projected to create up to USD 4.58 billion at a CAGR of 1.6% by 2020 control and prevent diseases. However, the global autoimmune diseases treatment market is estimated to reach $15.97 billion by 2022 at CAGR of 3.80%

Air conditioning isn't exactly a stimulating topic to bring up at parties. It's not something most people think about too excessively. But at West Mechanical, we're obsessed with it! We want to share with you some things that you may not have known about your air conditioner (AC).
An air conditioner, just like a car, needs regular maintenance and service to run efficiently. At West Mechanical, we recommend getting your air conditioning unit serviced and cleaned once a year. The optimum time is in the spring to ensure your unit will run with the most efficiency during the hottest summer months.
Emergencies are an unfortunate reality in our lives. That's why we have firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. Over the course of its lifetime, your HVAC might run into an emergency or two. That's why we at West Mechanical offer 24-hour emergency service.
Air ducts snake through your walls and distribute air in your home. When dust, mold, or other contaminants get into your ducts, you should get them cleaned.
West Mechanical wants to wish all of our heating and air conditioning customers in Bellingham and the surrounding cities, communities and neighborhoods a very happy holiday this year.
