Golf Club: Wasteland Review – A good walk, ruins
Reviewed September 3, 2021 on PC

Untold Games
Demagog Studios
In most games, there tends to be a very tight-knit relationship between the gameplay and the story. The player character will have a story about defeating a villain, and you'll jump and punch and kick to achieve that. There are comparatively few games that don't work like this. There's a kind of parallel between the gameplay and the story. They both exist in the same world, but there isn't as solid and consistent a connection between the player's interactions and the story in itself. Curiously, not a lot of games take this tactic, especially in an age where walking simulators, while not necessarily beloved, are relatively commonplace. Could someone take a slow, contemplative gameplay mechanic and layer a story on top of that? Well, Golf Club: Wasteland is trying to bridge that gap. In this game lies a broader tale of existential threats of unchecked capitalism and climate grief, but told through the lens of a golf game.
Roamin' Mars – Tales of Earth via podcasts
Let's consider the story as it stands. Capitalism has gone unchecked for too long. Earth has suffered tremendously, causing an ecological catastrophe. Among this chaos, the rich have boarded rocket ships to evade the cataclysm. The aristocracy has established an off-Earth colony to continue to live away from the withered husk of the world. The Earth remains a shell of its former self – a ruined dystopia. Earth exists as a tourist destination, in which the elite play golf among the detritus of the planet. "This, dear reader, is what we call a fantastical science fiction world set in a far-flung future with no bearing on current affairs of society", I say. As I do so, I wink to the camera so hard that my eye starts to bleed.
Now, let's break things down for a moment, the story is a bit of an odd duck in Golf Club: Wasteland. The in-game story is pretty much on mute for most of the game. The gameplay, as we will get to, feels very intentionally laid-back. The thing is, being laid-back is not the same as being empty. Anyone can make a game devoid of content, but the challenge is to keep people invested. So the game pumps a lot of work into telling the story in more ambient ways. Of course, the environmental design is a big part of this, but a bigger part is a rather unique narrative delivery for games: a fictional radio program.
Games with fictional radio stations are nothing new, but Radio Nostalgia from Mars is a rarer type, one that carries some of the narrative burdens. Radio Nostalgia from Mars has a very "This American Life" style to it. Characters come onto the show to share their monologue stories of the world that was, their grief, their regret, and their triumphs in the face of this apocalyptic adversity. There's an impressive spectrum of emotions, characters and perspectives. The most notable was the first. The speaker laments the past, the ruined Earth. But as the soliloquy continues, it becomes clear this person is part of the rescue effort. There is this subtle narcissism that slowly bleeds into the story, a self-aggrandising image of a hero saving the poor people.
This speaks to the mood this game is setting. It's pretty damn clear that we're deep in the weeds with the satire. If you're in any doubt, don't worry, I've been told that the satire is well deconstructed in the $500 million "My Ticket Outta Here" Edition. There are jokes about making showers more efficient so people can have water to drink and such. It's all presented with this layer of preposterousness. Yet, I could feel how paper-thin it was, not in the usual "the story is flimsy" sense, though. Rather, the veneer is so thin that it only muffles the truly depressing stuff. You don't hear that things are bad, you are reassured that "we will survive it". It's a calming voice that is clearly masking a deeply unsettling reality.
My Lie in Ruins – Golf Club: Wasteland's in-game story
The contemplative nature of the game betrays the rest of the story's delivery. So, let's start from the top.
The human race evacuates Earth and rich narcissists return to play golf, that's the central premise. This is pretty much half of the proper, traditional narrative. Whilst the story is told in-game through Radio Nostalgia and other ludonarrative devices, it is also communicated in the intro through text boxes. I'm both unimpressed and confused by the choice to use text boxes to communicate your narrative. Were the developers scared of leaving people behind, or that they'd mute audio and miss out? Did they feel they needed to get the hook in immediately? In truth, maybe it was just to give them more freedom to take the radio stories wherever they wanted. Perhaps they felt they needed to put this premise upfront to keep people excited. Although with that said, it's hard to not feel like the opening text boxes rob the plot of some energy, it takes away a lot of the potential.
"…the game felt like it tried to have its cake and eat it too."
As such, the "in-game" story isn't much to phone home about. There is in truth a character-led narrative, but to put it bluntly, it is anaemic. The radio show references the protagonist. The protagonist meets another character. The protagonist pontificates in a few text boxes. Stripped of all context, ignoring little gripes with clichés and such, I can see the merit. The character arc is nice I suppose. The problem is that it feels really poorly presented. Many say that symmetry begets beauty, but Golf Club: Wasteland's choice to end the game as it started, with text boxes, is not attractive at all. The prose discussing the future of the characters ironically makes the whole thing feel inconsequential.
The narrative is an odd duck. It collects mostly at the extremes, with text boxes as a prologue and epilogue taking the lion's share. It's weird because otherwise, the story is so intentionally disparate. Sure, the radio disgorges soliloquies, but it feels like they're just setting the mood more than presenting anything concrete. It reminds me of horror as a genre. Horror isn't just a genre about being in danger, it's a genre about feeling in danger. Set the right mood, fold in enough ambiguity, and the audience will fill in the gaps and make themselves scared. Golf Club: Wasteland feels a little like that. The atmosphere is set up to allow people to mull over the ideas presented and come to their own conclusions. Well, it seems like it is, but then the plot kicks in.
Creating this slow contemplative vibe doesn't work with a strict narrative. Of course, this applies to the in-game plot, but let's talk about another element. Golf Club: Wasteland, like many other games, likes to give players the standard "diary entry" plot. First things first, I truly am tired of this style of narrative. It's such a boring way to portion out the story behind cheap unlockables. Every instance either gates some people off from the story or serves as some attempt to allow for both a deep story or none at all according to the player's choices. However, all can have issues of detachment from the game itself, and of course, the writing may not be great. Golf Club: Wasteland can lay claim to those issues definitely. It really comes across as dry, overly flowery waffle. But it's frustrating because it works against the contemplative nature of the game. The decision to then hammer in the protagonist's internal monologue runs counter to this ideal. Let us pontificate about the character, don't just tell us who they are, and don't give us some saccharine ending that we may not wish upon them.
Heavy Rough – How a ruined Earth connects story and gameplay
The environment is a good touchpoint for the story. In a game with this level of contemplation, the setting is doing a lot here to invoke the right emotions. There is a good array of eco-horrors on display from glowing sewers to factories piled high with discarded consumer goods. Once more, the game here is succeeding when it lets the player think about the story. Of course, as a satire, it does lean a bit on the over-the-top nature of the world. It's a cartoonish amount of death and destruction, I say before winking to the camera again in a more bitter fashion.
The husk of the world we explore is so good at communicating, that it also inadvertently communicates the central flaw in this game. The world is beautiful. There are amazing vistas that seep into your subconscious. Even if you're not here for a sightseeing tour at the end of days, you'll be thinking about climate change and capitalism and such. Aesthetically, and narratively, the course is fantastic. Mechanically, it oscillates between that design ideal of 'it's so good it's unappreciated', and being a source of frustration. For example, a lovely hole is set around a statue with surrounding scaffolding. The statue appears to be in the background. As it turns out, the neck was in the background, but the rest was not. Upon taking a shot, and randomly hitting the statue, it turns out it's mostly in the foreground, without any real indication. It felt arbitrary, it felt inconsistent. It's this inconsistency that makes many parts of the game hard to navigate. There were other instances like billboards that can blur the line between what is foreground and what is background. What is a true obstacle, and what is set dressing? On a more fundamental level, isometric walls and platforms, while aesthetically pleasing, make it difficult to judge distances, heights and angles.
Flop Shots – When the golf works, and when it really doesn't
" Aesthetically, and narratively, the course is fantastic. Mechanically, it oscillates between that design ideal of 'it's so good it's unappreciated', and being a source of frustration."
The gameplay perhaps isn't supposed to be the real drawcard, so the gameplay is a bit so-so. It's a pretty standard indie golfing experience. Holes are laid out in what amounts to a 2D side-on perspective, like a platformer. You're hitting across, over, onto and into. Of course, as previously mentioned, this is in and of itself a contradiction with the style being a bit more isometric looking. This contributes to issues I had with the physics. Varying friction of materials threw a spanner in the mix, and overall I never felt completely dialled into the gameplay.
The holes are creative and well-conceived. There are a range of gameplay ideas here, there are pipes and elevators to transport balls, and various obstacles that extend beyond the standard golfing fare. Over time, the game ramps up in difficulty which for a while is appreciated, but at times descends into needlessly convoluted annoyances. They ran out of ideas, and that's why I suspect the devs tried to give the appearance of a longer run time.
To fill out the duration, the game has three modes that are just the same game with some tweaks. Story mode is just playing through the course. Challenge mode is the story mode, but each hole has a stroke limit, and if you exceed it you restart the hole. Iron mode is Challenge mode, but exceeding stroke limit or hitting into a hazard and you have to start the whole course over.
I'll put my two cents in and say, just play Challenge mode. Story Mode is virtually the same but with no consequences for anything. Whilst I'm all for easy modes in games, it just comes across as completely lacking in any kind of teeth. Conversely, Iron Mode is a game mode that you can play for half an hour and then lose all progress for a single mistake. It's a ridiculous punishment that I think most people will find amusing before being incensed with fury and quitting the game for the last time. The modes are unique takes on the game, but really you're just playing through the same course. Play through the course once and you've seen what the game has to offer. We're looking at an hour or two of gameplay.
Drawing Parallels – On the relationship of Game and Story
But what of the parallel gameplay and story? Well, maybe that is why the story in this game felt so off base. See the reason so few games engage in this is it's hard to pull off. Maybe it's too hard to market a game with no real plot, which would explain putting the premise upfront. Perhaps not including story beats or diary entries feels prohibitive to those that wish to explore and investigate. It's the wanting to please everyone that leads to this compromise that can devalue the unique ideas on display.
See the reason parallel gameplay and story is rare is that, well, it's pretty hard to pull off. I've only played one other game that runs like this. Ironically, the other game was also a golf game. It speaks to how games, like golf, are very good idle games. I'll go ahead and say that I think Golf Club: Wasteland gives me some level of hope for these kinds of games going forward. The problem lies in fully committing really. Be a ridiculous farce of a game, be a slow contemplation of human nature and morality, or be a happy ending focused morality tale. Attempting to do all three leads to a game that is sort of good at multiple things that often conflict with each other.
Gameplay and atmosphere allow for an interesting contemplative experience
Beautiful graphic style
Radio Nostalgia From Mars is a good narrative vibe and mood-setter
Text box intro and outro undercuts the contemplative style
Isometric graphics make gameplay harder
Gameplay is mediocre
Golf Club: Wasteland is a rather standard golf game bolstered by an experimental narrative approach. This iteration is, have no doubt, an improvement on the niche ideas therein, and for that, I applaud the developers. However, good as these ideas are, they suffer from feeling incompatible with each other. Everything is OK, with the distinct sting of feeling like they could have been great, given the right conditions.

Whitebox & Whitebrand network equipment has a lower purchase price than branded products. But why ? It's about market economics and mechanics around commodity purchasing and manufacture.
When developing new products, vendors must invest to develop those products before any revenue in generated. For the last 20 years, this means building teams to design silicon, develop software, design the physical chassis. As the process moves other costs for quality assurance, feature management and early production assessments.
A marketing team will incur substantial costs related to feature selection, product messaging and customer meetings. And finally, the big commitment to produce large volumes of product that goes into warehouses and support stock on a global basis.
A large part of the cost of product development may be replaced by using existing merchant silicon and open source software. This lower investment means that the sale price is reduced to remain competitive in the market or companies can choose to keep sale prices high to capture additional profit.
The time to develop a product has a major impact on investment return. There are two key areas. Product development costs are broadly regarded as investments and carry interest charges so that more time a project takes the more interest costs the project incurs. The second cost is that long running products incur greater labour charges and secondary expenses.
Using merchant silicon and open-source operating system dramatically reduces the time to market for big vendors and avoids risks around market transitions. This reduced risk means less budgeting for failure and reduces the cost of the project resulting in lower selling prices.
If a larger volume is manufactured, then the unit price of the goods will be cheaper. Whitebox hardware is already 20% of the total switch market by units shipped and manufacturing volumes are already at a size that per unit production costs are well-known.
Note: as before, vendors can choose to keep prices high and capture more profit. Cisco & EMC are great examples of achieving reductions in production costs through manufacturing scale while maintaining selling price through market dominance and strong marketing.
Market pricing and profitability is often defined by the ability of competitors to enter a market. The availability of standardised products reduces the cost to enter the networking market.
For example, smaller companies like Plexxi and PICA8 would have needed hundreds of millions to enter the market, and yet they have raised tens of millions.
Equally, large companies may choose to enter (or re-enter) a market. The example here is HP Networks with a renewed efforts to grow market share now that risks and costs have been reduced.
Big companies take longer due to their size making product development more expensive but are more efficient when it comes to production because of their volume that will reduce the cost of production per unit. Smaller companies are more focussed and more efficient in time to market but it is harder to scale up production.
But big companies also get substantial benefits from commodity silicon, reference hardware designs and open source software. I think that the best example is the Cisco Nexus 9000 product family which, according to rumours, took less than a year to develop and bring to market while using merchant silicon and open source software to reduce the product development costs and time.
What are you thoughts on White-box being on lower end of hype cycle according to IDC ?. One thing i cannot comprehend is how a 20% market cap is on lower end of hype cycle ?
If you consider Whitebox by UNIT VOLUME, then its 20% marketshare. If you consider it by DOLLAR VALUE, then its much less – perhaps 5%.
And consider who Gartner produces the reports for – its the Enterprise market who are not well equipped to evaluate risk or to adopt new methods of operation.
Whitebox in the enterprise will be a slow road with the incumbent vendors fighting to defend their profits and maintain market share.


I am now safely home from my quick trip to Italy. I had hoped to blog while there, but lack of access to free wi-fi at the beginning of the trip and exhaustion made it difficult to follow through with my good intentions.
We had one less day in Italy than we had hoped for due to a flight delay in the take off of our first leg, a missed connection, and an unplanned overnight in Boston. So rather than arriving in Milan on Sunday, June 12th, we arrived on Monday, June 13th.
The trick with adjusting to such dramatic shifts in time zones is to try to adjust to your new surroundings as quickly as possible. So while we had lousy sleep on the airplanes on our way to Italy, my husband and I forced ourselves to stay awake as long as possible on the Monday so we could wake up Tuesday morning and have our body clocks "reset" to Italian daytime.
Our first order of business after checking into our hotel was to find someplace to eat. Scott had looked in a guidebook for suggestions and copied down the address. I had purchased a good street map of Milan before we left and felt it was a wise investment.
The Metro system in Milan is easy to navigate once you understand its structure. There are a few colored lines with transfer stations and you look for the name of the end station to determine which direction you need to travel. We were able to use the automated vending machines to purchase metro passes with unlimited travel for three days for only five and a half Euro a piece. I thought it was a great deal especially considering how often we used the Metro over our short stay in Milan.
We found the small Caffe Verdi that had moved into the location of the restaurant whose address Scott faithfully copied down. It was a small restaurant near the Teatro Alla Scala opera house.
We shared a mixed green salad with parma ham and a pizza with parma ham. Mmmmm, it was a great choice. The flavors were incredible and as we sat and decompressed, we began planning what we wanted to see in the area before we collapsed.
One of the places I had put on my "must see" list was the museum associated with the Teatro Alla Scala.
It is one of the most famous opera houses in the world and since Orlando furioso had inspired many operas, I wanted to go there. We discovered that no photography was allowed and had to check our camera bag at the door.
I would have loved to have taken some pictures of the ornate opera house and some of the costumes on display. Not only are you able to see the objects on display in the museum, but visitors can peak inside the gallery itself. We were fortunate to see the stage being set with different theatrical lighting applied and tested.
After the self-guided tour we were ushered into the gift shop on our way out. There were plenty of souvenirs about the opera house itself and some notable operas had their own separate listings on bags, coasters, umbrellas, etc. Try as I might, I could not find anything with Orlando furioso. I asked about this, hoping that I was overlooking the location of these items, but was told that it was not a popular enough opera to warrant having souvenirs.
Scott meanwhile was checking out a statue of Leonardo across the street.
Leonardo spent several years in Milan and has an entire museum dedicated to him. The mural painting of Leonardo's famous "The Last Supper" is in Milan's Santa Maria delle Grazie church. Reservations are mandatory in order to see that famous fresco and alas, once we had confirmation of our trip it we were too late to get a reservation to see it on the days we would be in Milan. More on Leonardo in another post.
We then set out for the Duomo, and walked through an enclosed shopping gallery, the Gallerie Vittorio Emanuele II.
The gallery is named after the first king of unified Italy who reigned 150 years ago. All over Italy, they are celebrating their sesquicentennial as a nation with their nation's flag flying everywhere. It is hard for me to believe that the United States is "older" than the modern country of Italy whose history dates back thousands of years, but until 150 years ago the Italian peninsula was divided into separate kingdoms. Vittorio Emanuele II unified Italy.
Milan is known for its high fashion and it is readily apparent from window shopping and recognizing various designer names such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, and Prada. Frankly, I preferred the people watching over contemplating buying high fashion direct from the source.
I love mosaics and wanted to share with you two different mosaics from the center courtyard of the mall. Here is the symbol of Rome of the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus with the slogan of S.P.Q.R. Senatus Populus Que Republicus.
The other mosaic is of a bull who is the symbol of Milan. There is a local bit of folklore that it is good luck for you to step on the bull's testicles, better luck if you "spin" on them. We had watched Rick Steves' PBS show on Milan and saw this local custom. In his video, and in his guidebook, the testicles are visible but there is an obvious indentation due to the strange wear pattern of the mosaic tiles.
It appears that the city decided to surrender to the custom and create something more durable. There is now a cement cylinder which makes it easy to take your little spin. And yes, I did not want to pass up a chance for good luck and tried it myself.
Our next stop was the Duomo. I will save that subject for another post.
I haven't been to Milan in years, but I loved it. So glad you had a great trip!
Thank you. I had a wonderful time in both Milan and Rome. I do need to write more blog posts about those travels as well as my more recent trip to France!
Thank you for your kind comments. I subscribed to your blog as well.
The best place to find "Orlando" is in Sicily. In the streets you can buy marionetes of Orlando, Rinaldo, Angelica and Bradamante.
In the north they haven't much time for their legends. In Reggio di Calabria you can find the "Fata Morgana" mentioned in Orlando Innamoratto.
Thank you for your comment. I apologize for not approving it earlier. It was buried in a large amount of anonymous spam messages with links to all kinds of get-rich quick schemes.
I do wish that I could visit Sicily, but have not had the chance to do so just yet. I am returning to Italy this summer, but the logistics of the trip did not make going south to Sicily a possibility. Instead, I will be going to Ferrara and Ravenna.
Ferrara was the home to both Ariosto and Boiardo and Ravenna has a beautiful basilica which inspired Charlemagne to build his cathedral in Aachen.
Perhaps in 2016, I will be able to visit Sicily to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the publication of Orlando furioso with seeing some of their famous puppet theater.


These days I call myself a runner...: Will I never learn?!
Despite the fact that this happens every time I return to running after a break, I think i've increased my mileage too quickly over the last couple of weeks and all day I've had some niggling pains in both of my ankles, which have always been my "weak points", and prone to injury. This is not good!! Just as I get back on track and feel positive and motivated, about both my training and my diet, something else goes wrong...and it's entirely my own fault.
I decided not to run this evening, and will wear supports on my ankles tomorrow - I'll probably still go out in the evening but may not do the 6 miles I'm planning. I think I might also have to re-evaluate my expectation of reaching 1000 miles this year. If I achieve it, but at the expense of causing myself an injury (rather than a bit of niggly pain that with a bit of rest I'm sure will resolve), I will jeopardise my 2012 marathon and ultra targets, and to be honest, they are more important than the 1000 miles.
I mustn't let myself get too annoyed...or too worried. I am sure that if I take the next couple of days carefully, and reduce my total weekly percentage increases (yes, I know, should stick to 10%...but that just seems so low, maybe 15% will be ok!) I'll be absolutely fine.
But it amazes me that I've let this happen again!
I hear you, I am nursing a bad ankle after doing 2 marathons a week apart. Rolled it ever so lightly a week before my marathon, and it did not bother me then, but a month after my second marathon, it's bothering me!


Computer security researchers have very clearly stated that the low-bandwidth BlackNurse DDoS Attack do includes potential of causing serious disruptions in the operations of enterprise firewalls utilized by individual users and big companies.
Researches have claimed 'BlackNurse DDoS Attack' a severe attack that has targeted number of PC users. Among all those danish Telecom operatior TDC attack was labeled as one of the most notable attack. This malware has been labeled as a low bandwidth type as it do have capacity of leading severe disruptions via launching specific ICMP attacks (i.e., also known as ping attacks). This attacks usually causes floods issue.
BlackNurse has been reported utilizing ICMP Type 3 Code 3 Packets instead of the traditional Type 8 Code 0 packets. It is basically a non-standard approach that has materialize of being highly efficient at comparatively low bandwidth speeds such as 15-18 Mbps. It's this effect is the actual reason liable behind the issue of evolving firewall troubles even on the targets comprising high speed Internet access of 1 Gbps.
BlackNurse leads to high CPU load issue on the firewall. This ultimately results in the generation of network issues for both users on the internal network as well as in the outside world (i.e., the Internet). The aforementioned trouble have been notified to get stopped after the completion of the attack.
Researches have proven that a small number of Internet connections along with a low uplink speed are capable of maintaining the BlackNurse DDoS Attack against a enormous set of companies or organizations.
A deep of the Danish IP address has disclosed that there are around over 1.7 million devices that do includes capability of responding such ICMP ping packets. This states that a large BlackNurse may lead to the severe damage on them. According to security analysts the main reason reasonable behind such disruption is the unawareness of the organizations about the risk. Additionally not defending on time is also one of the most crucial cause liable behind this attack.
BlackNurse have been reported compatible with a wide range of devices including SonicWall, Cisco ASA series, Palo Alto Networks etc.
This malware has been notified not affecting the iptablets utility for Gnu/Linux propagations, OpenBSD and MikroTIK systems.
Now though all the above mentioned devices get easily infected with BlackNurse DDoS Attack but still among all of them the Cisco ASA firewall 55xx series have been reported the most vulnerable to such attacks. These device can suffer to the attack even in a case if all the ICMP traffic gets deactivated.
Security experts have created a specialized website for the main purpose of studying the threat and providing detailed information about it. Along with this the authors of the website who operate it have created a way enabling network administrators in order to check if they are vulnerable to BlackNurse DDoS.

Visitor - Visitors are guests of the patient or family. In some cases, visitors may be relatives. Visitors have restricted times during which they may see the patient to promote a healing and restful environment.
The participation of family and visitors should be flexible in order to respond to the diverse and changing needs and preferences of each patient; deal with unanticipated and unique circumstances that arise; and assure the safety of patients, families, and staff.
A. Family members are welcome 24 hours a day.
B. The patient or the patient's designated representative, in conjunction with the primary nurse and healthcare team, may make visitation limitations.
1. Clinical and emotional needs of the patient. Examples include exhaustion, overstimulation, or marked increase in agitation.
3. The need to maintain a sterile environment during bedside procedures.
4. Limitations as requested by the patient or patient's representative.
5. Space limitations in patient rooms that may hinder care being performed by clinical staff members.
6. There is a legal reason that is documented in the chart (e.g., a restraining order, or the patient is in legal custody with a court order prohibiting visitors).
7. Behavior that creates a direct risk or threat to patients, families, staff, or others in the immediate environment or is disruptive to the functioning of the patient care unit.
8. A patient in a dual occupancy room requires immediate lifesaving measures or a sensitive/private discussion. Decisions to restrict or limit presence are left up to the discretion of the staff and physicians and must be discussed with the patient and documented in the medical record.
D. Visitors are encouraged to visit during the hospital visitation hours of 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. These restrictions are for visitors and not family members. The eight special considerations noted above apply to visitors. To help patients recover and to not overly tire patients, visits should be brief, quiet and pleasant.
E. OMH encourages a quiet and healing environment when at all possible. We have designated quiet hours through our Silent Hospitals Help Healing initiative. The quiet hour is from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. and from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. An overhead announcement will commence the quiet hour. We ask visitors to allow this time for patients to rest. Quiet time is based on individual patient preference.
At the beginning of an ambulatory care experience, inpatient stay, or emergency room visit, patients are asked to define their "Family" and "Care Partner" and how they will be involved in care and decision making. Any available designated representative, such as a power of attorney for healthcare, will be identified. Patient preferences will be clarified regarding who may be present during rounds, change of shift report, exams, and procedures. These preferences will be documented in the chart and communicated consistently and comprehensively to all who are involved in the patient's care. The Care Partner, as designated by the patient, will be given an Onslow Memorial Hospital Care Partner Badge. He/she should wear badge at all times when in the hospital. The patient may change the preferences during the hospital stay. The patient shall be informed of his or her right to withdraw, grant, or alter his or her preferences regarding the identity of visitors and the scope of visitation by those designated by the patient to be visitors and family. The identity of visitors and the scope of visitation may be limited based on the professional judgment of the hospital's staff while taking into account the best interest of the patient. Any limitation to the identity of visitors or the scope of visitation as well as the reason for such limitations shall be disclosed to the patient.
1. Generally, visitors are not restricted based upon age; however, minors who require adult supervision may have limited access when the necessary supervision is not available.
2. Minor visitors who require adult supervision are expected to remain with the supervising adult.
3. A minor visitor's behavior will be monitored by the nursing staff to ensure a safe and restful environment for the patient and a positive and developmentally appropriate experience for the children.
4. There may be unique and extenuating circumstances that require compassionate exceptions to these guidelines. It is recommended the primary nurse and the healthcare team, in collaboration with the patient or the patient's designated representative, use professional judgment when making decisions on the level of participation of minors.
B. Families, visitors, and Care Partners whose loved ones are sharing rooms with other patients are expected to be respectful and honor their privacy. There may be times when families and visitors are asked to temporarily step out of the room to honor the privacy and special needs of the other patient.
C. Disruptive behavior and unsafe practices are not acceptable; these situations, while usually rare, will be addressed directly and promptly.
A. Family and visitors should always wash hands each time they enter and leave the patient room or unit.
B. Family and visitors should follow all isolation precautions as instructed by nursing staff.
C. Family and visitors are asked not to come to the hospital if they are feeling ill or have signs of, or have recently been exposed to, communicable illnesses or infections.
D. To maintain the privacy of other patients, family and visitors should only enter the room of the patient that they are here to spend time with.
E. To maintain patient privacy and minimize disturbances to other patients and families, congregating outside in the hallways is discouraged.
F. To facilitate the rest and recovery of all patients, family members and visitors should be mindful and sensitive to the needs of other patients and families by keeping noise to a minimum.

California Lawmakers Vote To Repeal Posse Comitatus Act
By B.J. Hansen Published Aug 16, 2019 09:50 am
California State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA — Referring to it as an outdated "Wild West" law, state lawmakers sent a bill to Governor Gavin Newsom that would eliminate the Posse Comitatus Act.
The law, in effect since 1872, requires citizens to help law enforcement officers upon demand. Failing to do so could result in a fine and misdemeanor.
The Associated Press reports that supporters of the repeal argued on the legislative floor that the law belongs in a history book, and not the law books, since California now has many professionals to catch criminals.
The repeal was passed in both the Senate and Assembly.
Contact Your Local Representatives; US Congressional Rep. 5th District Tom McClintock, US Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla, 8th State Assembly District Jim Patterson or, in some parts of Calaveras, 9th State Assembly District Heath Flora and 4th District State Senator Marie Alvarado Gil in our Community Guide Government Section here.

In my travels, such as they are, I discovered there is no place as expensive as the LA airport, nor anything so costly as poor planning. I checked everything this flight so I wouldn't have to worry about carrying anything. My plane was delayed. I just paid $4.50 for a mechanical pencil and Lifesavers. How ridulous is that?
It seems so strange that I as I sit here writing this in the terminal so many of my new friends are still so close, yet I can't see them or be with them now. My heart reassures me that they will never be far, even as I already miss their company. I saw a card in the gift shop that really echoed much of how I feel now.
"When I was younger I thought love was all about adventure and excitement- firecrackers popping and rockets launching. But loving you is like a shooting star show on a crystal night, a celebration dance in our own backyard. Miraculous and breathtaking. I'll lay my head on your shoulder....When I am with you my heart is home"


In 1995, at London's revered Wigmore Hall, the renowned jazz pianist Julian Joseph hosted a series of sold out jazz concert partnerships, one evening of which was a two piano concert with Jason Rebello. That concert is still talked about as one of London's greatest jazz experiences. The recording of Julian and Jason's 12-minute improvised rendition of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" bears repeated listening as a classic experience of two jazz masters, not only playing brilliantly as individual pianists, but also listening, interacting and responding together. Twenty three years later JBGB Events are thrilled to bring Julian and Jason together again at PizzaExpress Jazz Club in Soho for The Steinway Two-pianos Festival 2019 for their first reunion, not to recreate the past but to excite and entertain with their current brilliant jazz skills moulded into one unique performance.

HELP! I FOUND A ANIMAL, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING. WHAT NOW?
Make sure the Animal belongs to the MadPea Animal Hunt (check the animal chart above).
Have you muted the Animal owner? If so, the Animal won't react to you.

MadPea is not responsible for the locations. Anyone can buy a Animal and rez it on their land. If you can't enter a region, you should contact the owner to solve the issue yourself, MadPea unfortunately can't help you there. We suggest you click on the ? button to go to a different location.
I TELEPORTED TO A REGION THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANIMALS, BUT MY RADAR ISN'T SHOWING THEM. WHAT DO I DO?
The Animal might have recently died too. Use the ? button for a new location.
It could be that the Animal has just expired! Click on your radar, it will refresh.
The radar will show a white dot if you are on the same level as the Animal, a blue one if it is above you, and a red one if it is below you.
First, try our MadPeas group chat in-world, you might get your answer fastest there or you can contact our Support.
MadPea Premium Group members have help available in group chat.

Hello and welcome to Beginner Yogi!
Actually, we want you to Breathe. Move. Feel Better.
Whether you come to one of our classes in studio or online, attend a workshop or course or just explore our blog we want you to feel better.
While at a Strala workshop in Singapore, Mike Taylor asked if Tash had enjoyed the class, to which she replied "Yes!" The teacher asked her asked "Why?"….she thought about it and replied "I just feel better".
So simple. That's when she realised what she loves about being a student and teaching yoga. It makes you feel better. It doesn't have to be life changing, miracle healing stuff, just that big sigh after class, Ahhhhh that feels better. And that is what we hear all the time at our studio. We aren't the kind of studio that leaves you feeling wrecked and drained of energy, we want to help you create space and feel energised!
Our beautiful little studio in Marsden Village, Karori is a must visit if you are in the Wellington area (or if you are travelling!). The space has been thoughtfully designed and is often described by students as calming, peaceful and cosy.
Our yoga style is varied with a focus on feeling good and moving with ease! We offer a range of classes to suit all levels and ages with a limit of 12 people per class.
Hi there, I'm Tash and I am the co-founder of Beginner Yogi (the other half of Beginner Yogi is Matt, he is the dude in the background who makes things work and my go-to guy for all Beginner Yogi experiments!).
First of all, I have a confession…my first ever experience of yoga was with a DVD that was called something like 'Hollywood Yoga' and consisted of a group of beautiful, long-limbed ladies doing a yoga sequence so fast that I literally fell over myself to keep up. Mortified, I turned it off after ten minutes! I then tried a class at a local studio…same thing happened, so I gave it up and thought damn yoga is not for me.
And so, for couple of years I was blissfully unaware of what yoga really was. My real yoga adventure began when I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune condition and my life was turned upside down. I don't remember exactly what made me give yoga another go, but I did and after the first class (in a studio this time!) I remember thinking hmmm I feel a bit better than when I began…interesting. I began practicing more regularly, eventually making it a daily habit. Of course during this time there were other things I did, like discovering and working with my chakras, eating better and giving up habits that no longer served me, but it was the yoga that introduced the space that allowed me to sit and see what was going on in my life. My practice made me feel better, on and off the mat.
Fast forward a few years and my yoga practice has been the one constant thing I continue to do regardless of whether I am moving around the world or so busy I don't have time to blink! In the meantime I had been making noise about becoming a teacher for a while, but the timing never felt quite right. I came across Ashram Yoga Teacher Training one day and everything just kind of fell into place. The rest, as they say is history. Learning to teach is one of the most amazing things I have ever done, and I am incredibly passionate about sharing it with as many people as I can. It doesn't matter whether you spend 10 minutes a week or 2 hours a day practicing yoga, you will feel the benefits if you figure out your way of doing it. For me it's as simple as taking a breathing, moving a little and feeling a whole lot better.
What else…oh I LOVE animals – especially dogs, hanging out in the kitchen (check out our delicious recipes on the blog!) with Matt and going on adventures – near or far.
I hope you enjoy being part of Beginner Yogi as much as I love teaching and creating it for you.


On the left we have a cat and her shadow. On the right, we have a shadowy cat. Or, more accurately, a snoozing cat who wants to know when I'm going to put my stupid human toy away and let him get back to his nap.
Need more cats? Coming right up. Here's the story of Vincent, a homeless stray who made it big in New York and is now trying for the big time in Hollywood. And here's a cat playing with dolphins. It oozes so much cuteness you might need an insulin shot after you watch it.

Q: TikZ 3D plot : how to add spaces between tick labels to prevent them from colliding? I have a 3D plot with colliding yticklabels, which I have been unable to fix for now. Here is my minimum working example:
\documentclass[10pt]{standalone}
%
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplots,amsmath}
%
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
%

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        %graphique
        \begin{axis}[
            width=4 cm,
            height=4 cm,
            xmin=3,xmax=6,
            ymin=0,ymax=0.023,
            zmin=1,zmax=1.8,
            xlabel=x,
            ylabel=y,
            zlabel=z,
            zticklabel style = {yshift=0.1cm}, %to prevent it from colliding with xlabels
            xtick = {3,4,5,6},
            ytick ={0.006,0.012,0.017,0.023},
            yticklabels = {0.6,1.2,1.7,2.3},
            ztick ={1,1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8},
            scaled y ticks = false,
            view           = {30}{30},
            ]

            \addplot3[fill=black!15,opacity=0.35,thick] (4,0,1) -- (4,0.023,1) -- (4,0.023,1.8) -- (4,0,1.8) -- cycle;

        \end{axis}

    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Giving for now:

Would you know a way to relax the yticklabel so that they do not collide ? The only solution I found so far was to delete it in the axis by passing yticklabels = {,,,}, only to define it manually after the \end{axis}...
Thank you for your time!
PS: the axis width, height, view and the font size must not be changed ;)

A: You could rotate them.

Q: How do I print an entire list in F#? When I use Console.WriteLine to print a list, it defaults to only showing the first three elements.  How do I get it to print the entire contents of the list?

A: You can iterate over the it, using the List.iter function, and print each element:
let list = [1;2;3;4]
list |> List.iter (fun x -> printf "%d " x)

More info:

*

*Lists in F# (MSDN)

A: You can use the %A format specifier along with printf to get a 'beautified' list printout, but like Console.WriteLine (which calls .ToString()) on the object, it will not necessarily show all the elements.  To get them all, iterate over the whole list.  The code below shows a few different alternatives.
let smallList = [1; 2; 3; 4]
printfn "%A" smallList // often useful

let bigList = [1..200]
printfn "%A" bigList // pretty, but not all

printfn "Another way"
for x in bigList do
    printf "%d " x
printfn ""

printfn "Yet another way"
bigList |> List.iter (printf "%d ")
printfn ""

A: Here's simple alternative that uses String.Join:
open System

let xs = [1; 2; 3; 4]
let s = "[" + String.Join("; ", xs) + "]"
printfn "%A" s

2017 Ferrari F12berlinetta 70th Anniversary
Jasen Delgado ©2019 Courtesy of RM Auctions
Favourite VIEW MAILER
RM | Sotheby's - ARIZONA 16 - 17 JANUARY 2020
ZFF74UFA6H0226891
70th Anniversary livery no. 10, "the Grand Tourer"
Inspired by the 1953 250 Europa Vignale coupe
The only F12berlinetta finished in this livery
Includes original owner's manuals, supplements, and window sticker
Presented as new with only 109 miles
Opening its doors just one year after the conclusion of the Second World War, Carrozzeria Vignale of Turin was founded by its namesake, Alfredo Vignale, and his brothers, Guglielmo and Giuseppe. Crafting bodies for such manufacturers as Cisitalia, Fiat, and Lancia, Vignale quickly earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovative designs. Their reputation was reinforced when Vignale teamed up with Giovanni Michelotti, one of the most celebrated designers of the time. Together they would create a number of bold and impactful designs for Ferrari, all of which were handcrafted. Each body would be unique, with its own signature flair and bravado.
To celebrate Ferrari's 70th anniversary in 2017, the marque decided that a proper way to celebrate would be to produce a limited run of cars finished in 70 different liveries all representing specific cars and important models from the company's past. This would present a wonderful opportunity for Ferrari to celebrate their rich history while also showcasing the abilities of their Tailor Made department. Each livery would be featured on only one of each of Ferrari's five production models at the time: the 488 GTB, 488 spider, California T, GTC4Lusso, and the F12berlinetta.
Offered here is the only F12berlinetta finished in 70th Anniversary livery no. 10, dubbed "the Grand Tourer." The car was inspired by the original grand tourer, the Ferrari 250 Europe Vignale coupe (chassis no. 0313 EU) that was displayed at the 1954 World Motor Sports Show in New York. This livery features the same two-tone color exterior of Marron Fer with a contrasting roof in Vinaccia. The chromed grille is a subtle nod toward the 250 Europa's chrome trim strip, while the interior is finished in the same colors of Creta leather piped with Bordeaux. The black leather dashboard and doors update the look, while the use of Heritage leather ensures both the driver and passenger are held in utmost luxury.
Delivered new to Florida, this F12berlinetta has just over 100 miles on the odometer and is offered in factory-fresh condition throughout. Finished in the livery honoring one of the most desirable and sought-after grand touring Ferraris, this is the perfect piece for any collector looking for an exceptional and unique F12berlinetta, especially those with an appreciation for Vignale's innovative design.
Please note that the title is in transit.

Rae Sremmurd's highly anticipated Sremm Life 2 album will be dropping very soon but in the mean time, the Ear Drummer's have decided to grace us with visual to their latest single "Look Alive".
After the visual for "By Chance" came out, we had to make sure Look Alive gave us the same vibes. After all, Slim Jimmi is our spirit animal.
Check it out below. Also, make sure to cop Sremm Life 2 when it drops at the end of the month.


Yes, these are amazing flying fish . . . . but they're not what you think! This feel-good flipbook shows a school of bi-plane pilots – all fish of course! – pulling a banner that says "You're Amazing!" A perfect inexpensive gift or greeting for the amazing persons in your life.


In those days, Peter, stood up in the midst of the disciples and said… As the fiery spirit to whom the flock was entrusted by Christ and as the leader in the band of the apostles, Peter always took the initiative in speaking: My brothers, we must choose from among our number. He left the decision to the whole body, at once augmenting the honor of those elected and avoiding any suspicion of partiality. For such great occasions can easily lead to trouble.
Did not Peter then have the right to make the choice himself? Certainly he had the right, but he did not want to give the appearance of showing special favor to anyone. Besides he was not yet endowed with the Spirit.And they nominated two, we read, Joseph, who was called Barsabbas and surnamed Justus, and Matthias. He himself did not nominate them; all present did. But it was he who brought the issue forward, pointing out that it was not his own idea but had been suggested to him by a scriptural prophecy. So he was speaking not as a teacher but as an interpreter.
Those who lived in our company, to continue the passage, all through the time when the Lord Jesus came and went among us. He refers to those who had dwelt with Jesus, not just those who had been his disciples. For of course from the very beginning many had followed him. Notice how it is written that Peter himself was one of the two who had listened to John, and followed Jesus.
All through the time when the Lord Jesus came and went among us, to continue further, beginning with the baptism of John – rightly so, because no one knew what had happened before that time, although they were to know of it later through the Spirit.
And they all prayed together, saying: You, Lord, know the hearts of men; make your choice known to us. You, not we. Appropriately they said that he knew the hearts of men, because the choice was to be made by him, not by others.
They spoke with such confidence, because someone had to be appointed. They did not say "choose" but make known to us the chosen one; the one you choose, they said, fully aware that everything was preordained by God.They then drew lots. For they did not think themselves worthy to make the choice of their own accord, and therefore they wanted some sign for their instruction.
"With her reaction, the Canaanite woman confessed to Christ: I know that I am nothing but dust and that I do not deserve anything, but...'Lord, help me.' I ask You because I believe in Your omnipotence and in Your mercy."

Many things changed over the course of the show's development :
Hot Shot and Red Alert were meant to be part of the main cast, but were replaced by Bumblebee and Ratchet, the former due to the 2007 movie's popularity and the latter due to the name sounding more like the old warhorse that the character was going to be portrayed as. Rodimus was first choice for the Sentinel Prime character mold, but this was nixed by Hasbro.
Hot Shot was going to receive a toy later in the toyline, along with a triple changing Megatron, but both only made it to the prototype stage before the series was nixed for a number of reasons, including the release of Revenge of the Fallen.
The Decepticons as a whole were originally going to have a more grotesque, "stitched-together" aesthetic, described as reminiscent of Sid's toys from Toy Story, to show the results of them living in exile far from Cybertron for so long. For whatever reason note perhaps to simplify the designs for the toys' sake , this element was discarded.
Dropped subplots include Ratchet being suspicious of Earth's recent technological jump under Sumdac's robotics, and Lugnut's fervent praise for Megatron convincing elements of humanity to side with the Decepticons over the Autobots.
The original name for the Allspark was "The Cube." With this name change evidently came a design change as well, since the Allspark in the final series has a spherical shape.
Blitzwing was originally conceived as a character that could change into anything and had an unstable personality. Since they couldn't make a toy from that they tried the Animated version of Sixshot, but Hasbro told them a six-changer was too expensive. Then they decided to make a triple-change with a changing face and split personality and they used Blitzwing. It worked out fine.
In the episode "Autoboot Camp", originally conspiracy crazed Cliffjumper was to be the Autobot framed for being a Decepticon spy, but Hasbro did not approve of that and that role went to Wasp.
The second Allspark Almanac goes in depth about what Season 4 would have been like. While we'd love for you to try to find the books, compiled or otherwise, we'll give you some details.
Ironhide and Jazz would've joined the main cast of Autobots, the former to replace Bulkhead who would be Commuting on a Bus when his family Energon farms were attacked by Decepticons, the latter replacing the deceased Prowl.
Season 4 was also going to make Sentinel Prime a more antagonistic figure. Funny one should mention that.
Soundwave would've joined with Megatron full-time.
Dirt Boss would've been part of a Big-Bad Ensemble with Megatron, coming into conflict with him at least once.
Ultra Magnus would have succumbed to his injuries from Shockwave and gone off-line.
The Allspark fragments left behind energon deposits when they were collected at the end of Season 3, which ends up becoming the theme of Season 4.
The focus of an episode would be a turf war between the Constructicons and the Decepticons for the energon deposits in Detroit.
Bludgeon would've appeared as a pirate, instead of the usual skeleton samurai.
In one episode, Cosmos would've had to go to Earth to deliver a message to Optimus, but he loses his memory after scanning a prop flying saucer from a B-movie set. Hilarity Ensues.
There would've been an episode where Bulkhead and Sari enter a Shattered Glass version of the Animated universe. This episode was originally planned for Season 3, but was moved to Season 4 when the Season 3 premiere became a three-parter.
Another plan was a Season 4 episode would introduce a new character, Primal Major , who would be a failed cloning experiment by Blackarachnia. The title of this episode? "Trukk vs. Munky!"
Another plot involved a ghostly Prowl bodyhopping between various Transformers in an attempt to warn the Autobots of an oncoming threat.
According to the behind-the-scenes of "Trial and Error"note A fan continuation penned by one of the Allspark Almanac authors:
Antagony and Inferno were supposed to appear in Season 4 as techno-organic fire ants, having been created by Blackarachnia, who is growing an army of Predacons.
Blackarachnia would've gotten a new appearance similar to her original Beast Wars appearance (yellow skin).
Derrick Wyatt mentions that they were planning on setting up a fight between the Dinobots and Constructicons in Season 4.
The Animated producers were hoping to get Eric Idle to reprise his role as Wreck-Gar from the movie, but he was too busy with Spamalot, so they ended up getting "Weird Al" Yankovic instead. Though the final Wreck-Gar owes a lot more in appearance and mannerisms to Weird Al than Idle, his debut episode still contains a few ideas that were formed back when they were trying for Eric Idle — most notably his team-up with Angry Archer, whose voice is very clearly an imitation of John Cleese.
There also would have been a Season 5, which was supposed to be the final season.
Beachcomber was meant to be a Butt-Monkey, according to supplementary material. DJW states that he would have walked in on Shockwave and been killed horrifically in Season 3, and the TFNation 2019 panel reveals that it was also considered having him killed in Season 4 or 5.
Sari's origin would've been revealed by the series finale.
Slipstream was going to have a team of Decepticons in Season 4 and 5, although who was in that team is unknown (as stated in the magazine; Marty Isenberg also confirmed at TFNation 2019 that this is true, although he doesn't remember which characters the team would've consisted of).
Megatron's weapon was originally going to be a katana, as seen here ◊, but it was changed to the traditional fusion cannon and a pair of twin swords.
The second to last scene of Season 3 would have been Slipstream resurrecting Starscream.
Michael Bell, who voiced Prowl and Swoop in The Transformers, auditioned to reprise the roles for this show.
Some scenes had to be cut for time or for other reasons, as revealed in this interview. The most major one? Megatron beating the tar out of the Dinobots shortly after his resurrection. The scene was going to show how powerful he was, but the was nixed due to a desire to not upset Dinobot fans and because the animation for the fight was deemed subpar.
Starscream was apparently supposed to have a fairly quiet voice, as Marty Isenberg really disliked the screechy voice G1 Starscream had. However, after advice from Derrick J. Wyatt and hearing Tom Kenny's performance he decided to compromise with a voice that was high and a bit whiny, but not outright shrill.
Afterburn, the Canon Foreigner from the Titan Comics, was originally going to be named Sideswipe, and preview images even called him that. He was given a different name due to fans hating the design, along with the possibility that Hasbro intervened due to his nature as The Mole, similar to the Cliffjumper example.
The series was originally titled Transformers: Heroes and would have had a less stylized art style.
They originally wanted Scott McNeil to reprise his role as Waspinator from Beast Wars, but he was unable to work in the US without a permit.
Jetfire and Jetstorm were originally going to be played by Eric Bauza instead of Tom Kenny and Phil LaMarr.
During the planning stage Wildrider and Breakdown's remolds were switched around. Originally Wildrider was supposed to be from Rodimus while Breakdown was supposed to be from Lockdown ◊. This is in keeping with a previous G1 Wildrider release which was also a repaint of Rodimus (though the classics toy).
Apparently (as the source of this is unknown), according to Derrick J. Wyatt, the Starscream clones would've experienced Divergent Character Evolution, becoming their own individuals. Either this was dropped or wouldn't have shown up onscreen, though an artifact of this is that Cyclonus is Skywarp in a Bad Future according to All There in the Manual.
Pre-mutation Wasp could have gotten his own toy, a redeco of Bumblebee with a unique head, named "Fugitive Waspinator", but this was scrapped in favor of Ironhide, who was a redeco and retool of Ratchet.

It's my hope that the competitive advantage and bottom-line impact that these firms and leaders are seeing elsewhere in the world will help the LGBT rights movement in India gain traction and speed.
In the late 90s, I left college to begin my career, moving from North Carolina to New York to work at an investment bank. At my first job, I assumed being "out" of the closet, as I had been at school with my friends would be easy, and the norm. But after weeks of my first boss tossing around anti-gay slurs, being open about my identity felt like too much of a risk. So I went back into the closet - spending precious energy hiding who I was. I was changing pronouns and making up girlfriends instead of doing my job. Working in an anti-gay office culture negatively impacted my productivity. I stayed with the firm less than a year.
When I started interviewing for a new job, I decided things would be different. From the very first interview with what would become my new firm, DeSilva & Phillips, I refused to hide who I was. The risk paid off. My new boss, colleagues, and clients were incredibly supportive allies of the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) community, and appreciated my honesty and integrity. They recognised my value as a professional and the different perspective I brought as an LGBT person.
Four years later, moving to Merrill Lynch, I'd leveraged that perspective to build the first national private banking team on Wall Street to focus on gay and lesbian clients. My team was across six major US cities, and brought in over $1.4 billion in new assets from LGBT identified investors. When I started my team in 2001, Merrill had never sponsored national LGBT organisations, nor were its internal policies on LGBT best-in-class. By tracking the bottom-line impact the community could have, Merrill quickly got up to speed - spending millions of dollars sponsoring LGBT organisations and ultimately winning national awards for their work.
Those same principles of LGBT inclusion driving business ROI were the foundation of Out Leadership, a strategic advising firm I launched in 2010. I wanted to continue to expand on the principle that LGBT inclusion is good for both businesses bottom lines and good for the economy. I call it Return on Equality. I started Out on the Street (our first initiative) with the help of six managing directors from six investment banking firms (Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS), who framed out the content for our first Director-level summit. The then-CEO of Deutsche Bank Americas, Seth Waugh, was our host at DB's downtown offices.
While it's gratifying to have such amazing support from the most important brands in business, the most gratifying aspect of my work is seeing the impact on so many individual senior leaders. When I asked Peter Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg, to speak on the CEO panel at our summit, he immediately agreed, though he was somewhat nervous and admitted he was afraid of somehow saying the wrong thing. But he knew the impact it could have, so he agreed to speak at our London summit. As you might imagine, his remarks were incredibly well-received. As a senior executive, he now sees it as his duty to use his influence to stand up for the LGBT community.
Because of leaders like Peter Grauer and the 74 plus other CEOs and Chairmen around the world, I've been able to grow the scope and impact Out Leadership dramatically in the past four years. Out Leadership's Global Advisory Board now includes Lloyd Blankfein (CEO & Chairman, Goldman Sachs), Lord John Browne (Managing Partner, Riverstone Holdings, Former CEO, BP) and Ashley Steel (Former Vice Chair, KPMG LLP). I'm often asked how I've been able to "convince" so many leaders to lend their support. Persuading these leaders wasn't actually difficult, because they already knew that inclusion of the LGBT community (and all diverse communities) is vital to building a successful global business Return on Equality in the 21st century. In their own way, each of these leaders was already living the values we promote globally.
It's my hope that the competitive advantage and bottom-line impact that these firms and leaders are seeing elsewhere in the world will help the LGBT rights movement in India gain traction and speed. I invite the leaders of the Indian business community to join us in our work, to both help their businesses grow and to drive LGBT equality forward in India.
- Understand that an anti-LGBT workplace culture can negatively impact productivity.
- Be aware that many global business leaders have identified LGBT inclusion as an important consideration in international markets.
- Create safe spaces for employees to express their identities and unique perspectives.
- Ensure that your company has a non-discrimination policy that protects employees on the basis of sexual orientation.
- Foster new business avenues and brand favourability by encouraging your company to partner with local LGBT organisations and events.

Column from the 'Asbestfeiten Magazine special edition' with Mario van Mierlo - Secretary of the VNO-NCW and member of the SER subcommittee on Occupational Exposure Limits.
There was a time when asbestos was considered an ideal product to work with. However, it turned out to have life-threatening properties. Hazard symbols with skulls on them, men in white suits and signs reading 'access prohibited' are all associated with the world of asbestos. The material is now banned in the Netherlands. The SER has advised strict limit values for both chrysotile and amphibole asbestos. What is the guiding principle here? The aim is to realize an achievable limit value that is also measurable. A limit value that is unachievable and, in addition, unmeasurable, cannot be defined and put into action. Whether and how these strict limit values can be achieved must be proven in practice. For this, an accurate monitoring programme is necessary. Based on the results of this programme, we can determine how people in the field are adapting to the new standards.
Strict standards serve to protect the health of employees. Naturally, it is important that this policy can be upheld. This doesn't just apply to asbestos, but to all materials that have limit values. The Netherlands isn't alone in this. A sustainable limit value policy is being developed on a European scale: a European level playing field. During the Dutch presidency of the European Union, employers and employees agreed to work on this together within Europe. A 'roadmap' has been drawn up as a guideline. If you are interested, you can find it on the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment's Inspection website.
But that's not enough. Where the asbestos sector is required to comply with standards, inspection bodies are required to provide expert supervision and enforcement. This applies in particular to heavy asbestos removal in current risk class 2A. Supervision and enforcement aren't enough by themselves. Increasingly better results can be achieved if the results are shared with the sector and help shape policy. This can help take steps in the right direction.
As the roadmap suggests, creating safe work practices, with employees being exposed to as few hazards as possible, is a step-by-step process. The process is characterized by agreements being made between employees, employers and the government. Without respecting the process, or by ignoring results thereof, strides become little steps, or the whole thing will even grind to a halt. This is unacceptable. If norms do not have an expert and scientific basis, recommendations will lose their meaning. This too is unacceptable. The balance lies in what is reasonable and resolutely doing what is possible.

Title: Characterization of noise-induced strange nonchaotic attractors
Authors: Wang, X.
Lai, Y.-C.
Citation: Wang, X., Lai, Y.-C., Lai, C.H. (2006). Characterization of noise-induced strange nonchaotic attractors. Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 74 (1) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.74.016203
Abstract: Strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) were previously thought to arise exclusively in quasiperiodic dynamical systems. A recent study has revealed, however, that such attractors can be induced by noise in nonquasiperiodic discrete-time maps or in periodically driven flows. In particular, in a periodic window of such a system where a periodic attractor coexists with a chaotic saddle (nonattracting chaotic invariant set), none of the Lyapunov exponents of the asymptotic attractor is positive. Small random noise is incapable of causing characteristic changes in the Lyapunov spectrum, but it can make the attractor geometrically strange by dynamically connecting the original periodic attractor with the chaotic saddle. Here we present a detailed study of noise-induced SNAs and the characterization of their properties. Numerical calculations reveal that the fractal dimensions of noise-induced SNAs typically assume fractional values, in contrast to SNAs in quasiperiodically driven systems whose dimensions are integers. An interesting finding is that the fluctuations of the finite-time Lyapunov exponents away from their asymptotic values obey an exponential distribution, the generality of which we are able to establish by a theoretical analysis using random matrices. We suggest a possible experimental test. We expect noise-induced SNAs to be general. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Suffield Youth Services hosts a special screening of Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety on April 3, at Suffield Middle School. The documentary intends to open up a dialogue between local families, community leaders and experts in a discussion following the 56-minute film. Dr. Laura Saunders, Psy.D. ABPP, psychologist from Hartford Hospital, will lead the talk.
Producers Scilla Andreen and Karin Gornick hope to spark a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Candid interviews tell the stories of kids and teens grappling with anxiety; its impacts on their lives and relationships; as well as solutions and hope. Included among the interviews is Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. The causes of anxiety, its sociological effects, along with help, resources and tools available are addressed by mental health experts. IndieFlix, a leading independent online streaming platform, produced the film along with its non-profit arm, the IndieFlix Foundation.
The Town of Suffield Youth Services fosters the well-being of youth within the community through mental health programs and services. The Youth Center is located at 145 Bridge Street and welcomes teens on afternoons with snacks, ping pong, foosball, Wii and more.
