The newest Nintendo console finally released. How does it feel and perform? Let's unbox the Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch released world wide on March 3, 2017. I sold the console at midnight in the electronics store I work at. We took pre-orders a month or so before, and everyone who pre-ordered one was guaranteed one. Unfortunately, only 20 or so people pre-ordered the console. We received an additional 20 units, but there were far more than 40 people waiting in line.
For those who are unfamiliar with the product, the Nintendo Switch is the latest gaming device from Nintendo. It is the successor to the Wii U and possibly even the 3DS. This is because it's both a handheld and a home console mix.
The brains of the video game console are in the tablet-like device. The screen is just about as big as a 3DS XL. Two controllers, called "Joy-Cons," can lock onto the sides of the screen and be used similar to a Wii U gamepad.
The Joy-Cons can then be removed and placed on a handheld to be used as a controller. However, the Joy-Con grip is highly uncomfortable, and it will not charge the Joy-Cons unless you buy a separate grip with a charging plug.
The Joy-Cons can be used as a single controller or be held sideways as two separate controllers. They aren't the most comfortable things to play with, but they are unique and awesome in their design. The cost of another pair of Joy-Cons is a whopping $80, however!
The Nintendo Switch also has a built in stand to be used in table-top mode. Some games are designed ONLY for handheld mode, but the majority of games can switch between handheld, table-top, and console modes. Below this stand is where a micro SD card can be inserted. The console has a max of 32GB of internal memory, but it can be expanded up to 2TB with a Micro SD card.
The device uses flash memory similar to the 3DS. However, the game cards used on the Switch are smaller than the 3DS and DS game cards. This means the Switch is not backwards compatible with any other Nintendo games, whether it's the handheld or console games. There isn't much of a virtual console either at launch, but one is planned for the future through the digital store.
The Nintendo Switch connects to a dock through the USB-C port at the bottom of the device. This dock must be powered by a USB-C charger and connected to a TV using HDMI to switch to console mode. There aren't really any bumpers or pads in the dock, so be incredibly careful when sliding the Nintendo Switch into the dock.
The Nintendo Switch is a very affordable $300, and the games range between $50-$60. The accessories, on the other hand, are quite expensive. I hope this system has a longer life span than the Wii U did, and I hope a massive amount of games come to it. It sells out fast, and Nintendo is trying to keep up with demand. Don't cave into the scalpers out there!
Check out the video below to see my thoughts on the Nintendo Switch as I unbox it in real time.

From Susan Sontag to the Met Gala: on the evolution of camp
Posted on Thursday, May 9, 2019 7:38AM by Azra Raza
Jon Savage in The Guardian:
First published in 1964, Susan Sontag's essay Notes on Camp remains a groundbreaking piece of cultural activism. Sontag's achievement was to give a name to an aesthetic that was everywhere yet until then had gone largely unremarked. It was visible in Dusty Springfield's mascara and beehive, there in late-night TV reruns of old Humphrey Bogart movies; there in Andy Warhol's screen prints Flowers andElectric Chair – images from advertising and the news media copied and provocatively represented. Like pop, camp was the future; as Warhol had observed on his cross-country trip in 1963, it was omnipresent, so ubiquitous that it wasn't simply an aesthetic. It was an environment, a climate, with profound implications for western culture. To notice it, all you needed was the keen eye of an outsider.
In 58 paragraphs, Sontag conducted an intuitive yet rigorous examination of a phenomenon that she defined as "a badge of identity among small urban cliques". And this "private code" constituted a new mode of perception that collapsed traditional ideas of high and low culture, of elitism and mass appeal. Here was a new hierarchy of taste, no longer defined by the old gatekeepers. Camp was a "way of seeing the world as an aesthetic phenomenon", she wrote, "in terms of the degree of artifice, of stylisation". Sontag's early passages outline the now overfamiliar "so bad it's good" aesthetic: it could be found in the drawings of Aubrey Beardsley, the 1933 film King Kong and Tiffany lamps. Today, Sontag's observations remind us of how objects and works that were déclassé in the 1960s have become part of accepted taste. She predicted this would happen, of course: "The canon of Camp can change. Time has a great deal to do with it. Time may enhance what seems simply dogged or lacking in fantasy now because we are too close to it."

First major solar battery farm in Australia connected to the national grid goes live
By Mike Carabott | February 21, 2018
Australia's first major solar battery farm connected to the national grid has been switched on in Queensland.
Lakeland Solar and Storage, near Cooktown in the North of Queensland, will provide power to 3,000 homes and businesses on the Cape York Peninsula, some 240 kilometres north-west of Cairns.
Image: Conergy
Phase 1 of the $42.5 million project by Conergy is already operational, comprising a 10.8 MW solar farm made up of more than 40,000 solar panels. These stand alongside a 1.4 MW / 5.3 MWh lithium-ion battery.
The construction of Lakeland 2 is now underway. Lakeland is the first large-scale solar battery project providing dispatchable electricity to the grid when needed.
It will also be an industry test case for 'islanding', which means that a section of the grid is isolated during outages and blackouts to provide power to a particular area.
After flicking the switch on Lakeland 1, second-phase Lakeland 2 is now underway to complete the whole project.
Lakeland solar to generate 30 MW of power plus storage
Once complete, Lakeland and Lakeland 2 will provide 30 MW of local solar generation plus storage. This equates to running around 4,015 standard home air-conditioning units for eight hours during peak daytime heat.
The Lakeland solar battery project has received $17.4 million of funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
ARENA chief executive Ivor Frischknecht said the facility will help determine the most effective way to couple solar PV and battery storage technologies on a large scale.
Solar battery to test 'islanding' concept
Mr Frischknecht said the Lakeland solar battery project is a world-first in testing the practice of 'islanding' from the main grid.
Solar storage farms on the fringe of electricity grids have great potential to shore up local electricity supply and build reliability into the network.
Thorough battery testing will be carried out over two years. Once the testing phase is completed, Lakeland will be switched to 'island mode' during evening peak to see if the concept works.
ARENA and Conergy hope this will allow the remote town of Lakeland to exist purely on solar energy and storage batteries for several hours. If the 'islanding' concept works, it could be brought into Australia's cities to localise and prioritise power distribution when the grid is overloaded.
ARENA also hopes Lakeland is the first of many similar grid-connected solar storage farms in Australia.
This will supply clean, reliable and affordable power to households and businesses needing a guaranteed source of energy.
Solar and wind revolution picks up pace
The news of the solar battery farm in Queensland follows the announcement of a number of projects around Australia.
South Australia was first out of the blocks when the wind farm and battery storage joint venture between Neoen and Tesla was switched on in 2017. The twin plant is already producing and storing electricity and has prevented the grid from tripping during heat waves already. It is also producing energy at a cheaper cost than traditional fossil fuel power plants.
South Australia followed up by announcing Australia's first virtual power plant, which will involve the installation of rooftop solar on homes and businesses in Adelaide, which would then be fed into Tesla battery storage. Those taking part in the project would then be able to purchase energy at a cheaper cost.
South Australia is also building the world's largest thermal solar plant – the $650 million 150 megawatt SolarReserve project in Port Augusta.
Neoen and Tesla are teaming up again in Victoria to build a similar project to the wind and battery one in South Australia. The project will involve the construction of a 20 MW Tesla battery storage plant and a 200 MW wind farm at the Bulgana Green Power Hub near Stawell.
The renewables revolution has also started to pick up the pace in rural communities as Lismore in New South Wales recently constructed Australia's largest floating solar installation.
The 100 MW plant was opened on 30 January and Lismore Council aims to expand it five-fold in the future to generate 500 MW of energy.

Fakenham Town manager Wayne Anderson confident of maintaining top five form
Published: 11:20 AM October 4, 2012 Updated: 8:19 PM October 10, 2020
FAKENHAM manager Wayne Anderson believes his side have what it takes to stay in the top five of the Thurlow Nunn League First Division.
The Ghosts' 2-0 win at home to lowly Stowmarket on Saturday saw them climb up to fifth in the table and Anderson is confident they can maintain their challenge.
He said: "I'm trying to get us into the Premier Division and if we can hold our own in the top five until Christmas we stand a good chance.
"We've got a better squad than last season and each player is as good as everyone else, so I think we can push on and stay in the top five.
"The whole club is going well at the moment – the Under-18s are second and the reserves are third in their leagues and when everyone in the club is winning it brings a lot of confidence."
Both goals on Saturday came from striker Ben Boyce as his red hot form continued, despite missing a first half penalty. Anderson is delighted with the impact the former Hornhurch player has made at Clipbush Park: "Ben's a great player, he works tirelessly off the ball and he holds play up well, it's not just his goals," he said.
"When you get 60 or 70 minutes into a game some players are tiring, but he does a midfield role for us as well because he is willing to chase back.

"He looks like a real goalscorer and if you have one of those in your side you have a chance when you're in and around the top of the table.
"But it's not just about Ben – Kyle Plumb is providing great support for him. He's strong and physical, a real powerhouse and he holds the ball up and brings Ben in to play. The two of them are working really well up top."
Fakenham initially struggled to break down their visitors, who had conceded 25 goals in seven league games before Saturday.
Boyce won a penalty which was subsequently saved and the scoreline remained blank at half-time.
Anderson said: "I had a few words to say about the way we were playing because we didn't look comfortable on the ball.
"In the second half we worked the ball out wide and got it into the right areas instead of making things difficult for ourselves.
"We got back to our best and caused them problems every time we attacked.
"We kept a clean sheet, which is another bonus because I've had to bring another goalkeeper (Lee Brooks) in after Tom Rix broke his ankle playing Sunday football and we will be without him for two months."
Fakenham have the chance to move further up the table on Saturday when they travel to third-placed Saffron Walden, who are two points above the Ghosts.

Businesses 'should already be on their journey to UCaaS'
With the unified communications market on the rise, experts urge companies to shift towards an 'as-a-service' approach
by: Keri Allan
The unified communication and collaboration (UCC) market is seeing a dramatic shift towards cloud-based solutions, with unified communications as a service (UCaaS) leading the way.
The global user base of cloud UCaaS has now surpassed 43 million, with new users estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% from 2016 to 2023, according to analyst firm Frost & Sullivan.
This move is due in part to growing confidence in cloud solutions and a better understanding of the benefits it can offer, but also down to many customer premises equipment (CPE) assets nearing end of life.
Art Schoeller, vice president, principal analyst at Forrester Research states that more than one out of three IT professionals considering UCC will deploy it as a subscription service in their next upgrade cycle.
What is unified comms?
Why unified communications could be the answer to your telephony needs
However, as communication systems have historically had long lifecycles of 10 years or more, with a heavy emphasis on 'investment protection', he notes that "this might mean that some [of our respondents] might not move to UCaaS for another five years or so".
In the meantime, many existing CPE assets are being integrated with cloud during their sunset years, while digital transformation initiatives are also pushing IT departments to look more closely at moving to UCaaS.
Elka Popova, digital transformation vice president at Frost & Sullivan believes that customer confidence in UCaaS is also growing thanks to a recent swathe of mergers, acquisition and restructuring projects by IP telephony and UCC providers.
"In 2016 and 2017 the industry was marked by significant merger and acquisition (M&A) and restructuring activity affecting key providers. Their repositioning and strategy realignment is likely to determine the industry's evolution and growth trajectory over the next few years.
"M&As, bankruptcy protection, internal reorganisation, international expansion and solution repackaging will aim to improve industry health and boost customer confidence in service and company long-term viability."
The benefits of UCaaS
A key reason why companies are turning to UCaaS is the fact it offers a wide variety of communications technology and collaboration applications and services.
"Organisations are turning to UCaaS to reduce operational costs, expand into new markets or regions, boost creativity and innovation and also improve sales and marketing effectiveness," points out Rob Arnold, Frost & Sullivan's connected work industry principal.
Businesses are also looking for something that's 'on-demand', offering greater flexibility over the services they may have been used to in the past.
"Customers like the flexibility of a cloud service, in most cases with little or no upfront cost or hardware investment - depending on the service," says Cathy Gerosa, head of regulatory affairs at the Federation of Communication Services (FCS).
"The other major benefit for business is the flexibility it gives with today's workforce, enabling greater collaboration between both internal team members and external parties, regardless of where they're located."
Developing a transition plan - things to consider
But as the market shifts towards this subscription service, vendors must support organisations by developing a transition plan that protects their existing investments and offers minimal disruption to the business.
Benefits such as predictable billing, outsourced ownership and the move from CAPEX to OPEX are clear, but understandably, businesses still have concerns - particularly around security, visibility and a potential lack of control.
For many companies, the first step is often a hybrid implementation that spans on-premise and cloud.
"Some organisations still feel that they need to control their own communications, especially from a security and risk perspective," notes Forrester's Schoeller.
Plus, there are cons to balance the pros. New endpoint devices may be needed, even if the old system still works well, leading to not only extra spending but changes to the way staff work and how they interact with others.
"People used to maintaining older phone systems have to really shift their mindset, skill set and approach to the job. Plus, the move to UCaaS is very disruptive to the historical distribution channel for communications systems," Schoeller adds.
The key lies in selecting the right provider and developing a strong partnership in which you can have faith that the technology and implementation is what you need.
"The UCaaS market is relatively new so businesses do need to understand who they are taking their services from," advises Gerosa. "For example, are they financially stable but at the same time nimble in how services are delivered and developed?"
Vertical is the new black
UCaaS adoption looks set to grow at a steady pace, but analysts believe on-premise solutions will continue to play a role for at least the next decade.
While hybrid may be the first step many organisations take, providers look set to push forward with new technologies, capabilities and offerings, even if change is perhaps slow on the side of customers.
"The next phase in the industry's evolution will be marked by the emergence of 'productivity UC' 'IoT UC' and 'vertical UC' - vertical is the 'new black'," says Popova.
"Tailored services bundles, industry certifications, integration with vertical-specific apps and partnerships with vertical experts will deliver superior value in targeted industries."
Gerosa believes we'll soon see an even wider selection of services being offered by providers, with greater emphasis being placed on platform-agnostic applications.
"How businesses consume these services will be interesting with some of the dominant players like Microsoft with their 365 suite developing further," says Gerosa.
"As we see today with mobile phone apps, the potential in cloud just keeps growing so the ability to integrate these applications regardless of which supplier they are taken from will become more of a requirement."
"If businesses have not already started the journey down the UCaaS world we would certainly recommend they start now," she adds.

Osaka, Japan, February 4, 2016 and Valby, Denmark, February 3, 2016 – Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) and H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee (PDAC) voted 8 to 2 that the companies presented substantial evidence to support the effectiveness of Brintellix (vortioxetine) for treating certain aspects of cognitive dysfunction in adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Earlier today, the committee also discussed that cognitive dysfunction in MDD represents an appropriate drug development target.
The Advisory Committee provides the FDA with independent expert advice and recommendations. The committee's input will be considered by the Agency in its review of the Brintellix sNDA, which was accepted for review in August 2015. The FDA is expected to make a decision by March 28, 2016. The FDA is not bound by the committee's guidance.
Depression can be a combination of multiple symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction. The prevalence of cognitive dysfunction associated with depression is high. According to a three-year prospective study of people treated for depression, cognitive symptoms (defined as diminished ability to think or concentrate and/or indecisiveness) were reported 94 percent of the time during acute major depressive episodes and 44 percent of the time during remission.
The Advisory Committee reviewed data from the FOCUS and CONNECT studies, which were specifically designed to assess the effect of Brintellix on certain aspects of cognitive dysfunction in adult patients (18-65 years) with MDD. These two 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of Brintellix 10 and 20 mg/day used a neuropsychological test of cognitive performance (the Digit Symbol Substitution Test or DSST).
The FDA approved Brintellix on September 30, 2013 for the treatment of MDD in adults. Brintellix is furthermore approved in 64 countries (including Europe, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Turkey, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa).
The mechanism of the antidepressant effect of Brintellix is not fully understood. It is an inhibitor of serotonin (5-HT) reuptake and that is thought to be a mechanism of its action. It is also an agonist at 5-HT1A receptors, a partial agonist at 5-HT1B receptors and an antagonist at 5-HT3, 5-HT1D and 5-HT7 receptors. The contribution of each of these activities to Brintellix's antidepressant effect has not been established. It is considered to be the first and only compound with this combination of pharmacodynamic activity. The clinical relevance of this is unknown.
Brintellix was discovered by Lundbeck researchers in Copenhagen, Denmark. The clinical trial program in the U.S. was conducted jointly by Lundbeck and Takeda, and Takeda holds the new drug application for the U.S. market. Brintellix is a trademark of H. Lundbeck A/S and is used under license by Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.
The World Health Organization has issued an Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) code for Brintellix that places it in the category of "Other" antidepressants.
The most commonly observed adverse events in MDD patients treated with Brintellix in 6-8 week placebo-controlled studies (incidence greater than or equal to 5 percent and at least twice the rate of placebo) were nausea, constipation and vomiting. Overall, 5 to 8 percent of the patients who received Brintellix 5 to 20 mg/day in short-term trials discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction, the most common being nausea, compared with 4 percent of placebo-treated patients in these studies. Brintellix and other antidepressants may cause serious side effects. See Important Safety Information below.
In clinical studies, Brintellix had no significant effect on body weight as measured by the mean change from baseline in 6-8 week placebo-controlled studies. In the 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase of a long-term study in patients who had responded to Brintellix during the initial 12-week, open-label phase, there was no significant effect on body weight between Brintellix and placebo-treated patients. Brintellix has not been associated with any clinically significant effects on vital signs, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate, as measured in placebo-controlled studies.
The recommended starting dose of Brintellix is 10 mg once daily without regard to meals. The dose should then be increased to 20 mg/day, as tolerated, because higher doses demonstrated better treatment effects in trials conducted in the U.S. A dose decrease down to 5 mg/day may be considered for patients who do not tolerate higher doses. The available doses provide important flexibility for physicians to help address the variability of patient needs.
Brintellix is available as 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg tablets.
Antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teens or young adults within the first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed. Depression or other serious mental illnesses are the most important causes of suicidal thoughts or actions. People who have (or have a family history of) bipolar illness, or suicidal thoughts or actions may have a particularly high risk. Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts or feelings. Call your healthcare provider right away if symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, impulsivity, trouble sleeping, aggressive behavior or suicidal thoughts are new, worse or worry you. BRINTELLIX has not been evaluated for use in patients under 18.
Serotonin Syndrome: A potentially life-threatening problem that can happen when medicines such as BRINTELLIX are taken with certain other medicines. Symptoms may include agitation, hallucinations, coma or other changes in mental status; problems controlling movements or muscle twitching, stiffness or tightness; fast heartbeat, high or low blood pressure; sweating or fever; nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Abnormal bleeding or bruising: BRINTELLIX and other serotonergic antidepressant medicines may increase your risk of bleeding or bruising, especially if you take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin®, Jantoven®), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), or aspirin.
BRINTELLIX and some medicines may interact with each other, may not work as well, or may cause serious side effects when taken together. Tell your healthcare provider if you plan on or are taking any other prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements including medicines for migraine headaches, such as triptans; medicines used to treat mood, anxiety, psychotic or thought disorders such as tricyclics, lithium, SSRIs, SNRIs, bupropion, buspirone or antipsychotics; MAOIs including linezolid (a specific antibiotic); over-the-counter supplements such as tryptophan or St. John's wort; and the following medicines: aspirin, NSAIDs, warfarin (Coumadin®, Jantoven®), diuretics, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, quinidine, tramadol or fentanyl.
Common side effects of BRINTELLIX include: nausea, constipation or vomiting. These are not all the possible side effects of BRINTELLIX.
Do not start or stop taking BRINTELLIX without talking to your healthcare provider first. Suddenly stopping BRINTELLIX when you take higher doses may cause you to have side effects including headache, stiff muscles, mood swings, sudden outbursts of anger, dizziness or feeling lightheaded, or runny nose.
Until you know how BRINTELLIX affects you, do not drive, operate heavy machinery or engage in other dangerous activities.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking BRINTELLIX.
BRINTELLIX is a prescription medicine used to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults.

Oxygen cylinders are a necessity for people who are prescribed supplemental oxygen. These come in various sizes, types and capacities to serve just the right amount as per your requirement. HPFY brings to you oxygen cylinders that come in a durable design and serves you for long. Homefill cylinders are types of cylinders that allow patients to fill in high pressure oxygen from an O2 concentrator. Smaller oxygen cylinders can be taken anywhere. So now people who require continuous supplemental oxygen can step out of home or hospital setting and explore the world.
The cylinders are sized A to E i.e. A is the smallest size while E is the largest one. Modern day naming convention is M followed by a number. M stands for medical and the number stands for the cubic feet of oxygen the unit will hold. This gives you a clear idea of the size of oxygen cylinder you will receive.
We also supply oxygen cylinders with carry bags for more convenience like the HomeFill Integrated Conserving Cylinder with Bag, cylinders with attached oxygen conserving devices like the Invacare HomeFill Integrated Conserving Cylinder, Toggle Valve Oxygen Cylinders and many more from top manufacturers like Invacare, Responsive Respiratory, Devilbiss etc. to cater to your individual needs.
Oxygen Tanks: These type of tanks can store a greater amount of oxygen than the compressed oxygen tanks and weighs less. These are more expensive than the compressed oxygen tanks and you cannot take them in a flight. Also these cylinders have a small shelf life as otherwise the oxygen will evaporate. Portable small tanks can be filled with the large ones.
A word of Caution: Oxygen tanks must not be used near fire as it acts as an oxidizing agent and feeds the fire. Be careful and be safe. Oxygen cylinders play a great roll in treatment of patients who have difficulty breathing especially those on life support system and are mostly used in hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities.

One of several other attractions is nearby, too, a huge Buddha. Some of the reviews talk about firecrackers, which sounds cool when you're surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Talking about beautiful scenery, you will need to check out Karon View Point, that is also evidently associated with the Big Buddha. Reviewers describe the views as breathtaking, and therefore should help you realize that you're planning to have ample photo ops while vacationing in Phuket Thailand. The viewpoint provides you with an excellent layout of your land, a vantage point should you will, and you could even see the coastline.
Have you been planning to see some really cool animals? You must see the animals of Thailand, right? It's will be distinct from simply going to a zoo in america. So, one cool spot to get in Phuket if you're looking to see some animals will be the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project. You'll see a lot more than animals there, too. The beautiful scenery continues with a waterfall and the rest the national park is offering its visitors.
These animals are rehabilitating inside their natural habitat, and I'm sure it's great to see a project like that. You can take a good look in the wildlife that happen to be in Thailand. It's time to check out those famous beaches you learn about that Thailand offers. Phuket Thailand has some of the best beaches beyond doubt. For instance, there is certainly Kata Noi Beach with its pristine and clear water.
That's the sort of beach you wish to visit while you're on a break, right? Well, there are numerous others at the same time so keep in mind that as you're planning your days about the beach. Evidently, this is among the beaches in Phuket where waves can get to be big in accordance with the reviews. People also mention jet skis, and whatever beach you visit, you definitely want to check out the activities available.
Nai Harn Beach can be another recommended beach stop when you're in Phuket. It's actually regarded as being the ideal beach in Phuket and also the top attraction or 'thing to do' as well. You could expect a similar kind of beach in many ways, and there are vendors there. Lifeguards are saved to duty in accordance with the reviews, and swimming and the body surfing is quite popular there.
Returning to the animals! Specifically dogs are the main topic of the subsequent attraction in Phuket. It's the Soi Dog Foundation, which is actually a rescue center which features cats. Isn't it cool how a couple of the most notable attractions deal with rescuing animals? It's really neat they have caused it to be an area that men and women wish to visit, along with the reviews talk about the knowledge being heartwarming.
The Big Buddha was mentioned earlier, however the attraction hasn't been formally introduced. It's the Phuket Big Buddha, and is particularly quite large indeed. The monument consists of white marble. I first don't like visiting other attractions that take care of religion, but there are others who want to start to see the attraction, which happens to be rather new by the way.
No matter what you wish to do while vacationing in Phuket, there exists plenty to find. There exists a nightlife there, and you will imagine there will be some really awesome restaurants serving up local cuisine and much more. There are also spas there. Could you imagine receiving the experience of every day spa in Thailand? It might be quite distinctive from the sorts of health spa services offered by one in your house.
Another beach that is popular to visit is Freedom Beach. Other attractions include Surf House, which looks like fun for your kids, Naka Market, Monkey Hill and Tiger Kingdom. Their list continues, so you are invited to spend some time vacationing in Phuket, Thailand. Alternative Things To Do In Phuket For Kids

Book Review: Connor Coyne's mighty opus compels in URBANTASM: Book Three — The Darkest Road
Home » Analysis » Book Review: Connor Coyne's mighty opus compels in URBANTASM: Book Three — The Darkest Road
By Robert Thomas
Urbantasm is categorized as a magical teen noir serial novel composed of four books. The Darkest Road is Book Three of the series created by Flint writer Connor Coyne. But it is much more than a teen novel. It is a massive creation from Coyne's omnivorous mind, and an often gripping evocation of the throes of a struggling city.
Having reviewed the first two books for East Village Magazine The Dying City (EVM July 2, 2018) and The Empty Room (EVM September 20, 2019), I awaited the Book Three episode like a kid with a puzzle box in which one box of stories propagates another box of surprises.
Coyne's epic serial novel is an allegorical tale set in his fictional Rust Belt town of Akawe, Michigan — strangely and hauntingly like Flint — in the 1990s. The first two books set the stage upon which the characters dwell.
While coated in rusting post-industrial decay. Akawe is The Dying City and The Empty Room with The Darkest Road. Akawe is also inhabited by real people. The humanity of Coyne's characters grows as their plight darkens.
Coyne's third book in the triology Urbantasm, The Darkest Road. (Photo source: www.urbantasm.com/the-darkest-road)
In Book One, the characters were entering junior high school; in Book Three they are entering high school. They have been scattered throughout the city's four high schools according to district.
In Book One, John began his narration with "I have to become the Antichrist." The page fills with John's multiple grudges against God, concluding with: "If I wanted to save my friends, I would have to murder God."
The Darkest Road accentuates the noir element of Coyne's tale as it opens with a ghastly murder. As I dipped into muddier waters with John Bridge, the narrator of this fable, and his band of friends as they wrestle with the shifting realities of time and space and the horrors of evil in a decaying city aboard a plundered planet skippered by a ship of fools, Leonard Cohen's song "So You Want It Darker"came to mind.
In Book Three, John confronts God, urbantasms — loosely translated as "blue ghosts" — and a mysterious drug known as O-Sugar as he takes a long walk along Akawe's darkest road. Long disorienting walks at night through the decay of Akawe is a trope in all three books. The Darkest Road walk is a doozy display, swarming with shape-shifting illuminations on a dark frozen night in Akawe.
Musical influences inform Coyne's jazzy, bluesy writing rhythms and style. As John puts it in the early pages of Book Three: "I had always admired my father's jazz music because it was all of history spread out through dancing sounds, shuttling blues."
Urbantasm's blue ghosts of the past, present, and future meld into a shape-shifting kaleidoscope of Akawe's realities via Coyne's word play. The snappy, snarky runs of dialogue coupled with John's narrative voice continues to palpitate the pudding of this serial story box.
As John's world swirls off into the unknown unknowns of reality, Miss Pavilik's astronomy class offers him an introduction to the current state of cosmology in which the universe is being driven by an unknown called phantom energy.
"The expansion of the universe is accelerating," she told her students, "and what's more, the rate of acceleration is accelerating."
"What's gonna happen?" John asks.
What's gonna happen is something called The Big Rip, which Miss Pavilik describes in answer to John's question.
"The universe will expand more and more quickly. Galaxies will be blasted into pieces by the expanding spaces between them. Our solar system will be scattered as the planets are sucked so far from the sun that its gravitational pull makes no difference. Finally, structures, molecules, atoms, and electrons and protons will be drawn away from each other; a sequence of increasingly disintegrating smaller particles. The whole universe will be dissolved to elementary particles, and those particles will dissolve as well."
For John the Big Rip is a horror story. Everything from the universe to his deteriorating life in Akawe is falling apart at an accelerating rate. He ponders eternal verities and their mysteries.
"I also wondered," he narrates," how I felt about a God who would create a life-sustaining universe only to suddenly explode it, to rip it apart, just as life had finally arrived at its full burgeoning."
Cosmological awakening collides with a deadly public water poisoning caused by political policy and perpetrated by a complete failure of hierarchical leadership from local, state, and federal authorities.
Coyne's injection of Flint's recent municipal water poisoning into the decay of Flint in the 1990s of John's Akawe is an example of an urbantasm whereby the past, present, and future conflate and expand to expose gritty nubbins. Akawe is not the Land of Oz, the Hobbits, or Harry Potter. It is certainly not the Disneyland of the ethereal American Dream
The problem between Fantasyland and Reality World is an existential reality that confronts John and his mates at every turn along the darkest road in Akawe. Urbantasm is a fantastical fable firmly grounded in shape-shifting realities like the universe and Akawe, both as real as real can get.
The Darkest Road offers significant occultation and illumination—key components of imaginative fiction, whose rewards are rich in the mysterious wisdoms of reality as it expands, accelerates, and erupts around John and his friends like mortar rounds of shock-and-awe illuminations shaded in the blue ghosts of urbantasms composed of past, present, and future.
In search of further illumination, John meets Drake, the original O-Sugar candyman in Book One who took his band to the roof of the St. Christopher hospital for an O-Sugar flight off the roof to the parking lot below. Drake was the only survivor, albeit paralyzed and confined to a wheel chair. He and John share a mutual learning question: What is the magic ingredient in O-Sugar that would cause one to teleport off a rooftop? Drake knows what that felt like; John seeks to find out. To do so, he takes three hits of O-Sugar to accompany his long walk along Akawe's darkest road. The journey is filled with urbantasms and awakenings. John now knows what Drake felt, but it is his cousin Michael who puts all the pieces together to solve the riddle of O-Sugar's magic ingredient and its connection to the inexplicable hallucinations John and his friend Selby had shared at four years old.
John Bridge concludes The Darkest Road with an ecstatic prayer of hope which reminded me of crossroads blues and "Sympathy for the Devil."
I was reminded of his two initial journal entries prompted by two questions: Where Did You Begin? and Where Are You Now?
To the first John wrote: "Akawe, Michigan. 1980. Time is travel and loss is learning."
To the second he wrote: "Akawe, Michigan. We have bottles of water to drink and wash with. My house is warm. My mother still has her job, so we still have food to eat and a place to live. I got gifts for Christmas and I love them. I have friends though I haven't seen them much. Adam and Nova and Selby and Quantla. Michael, especially. I need to just be here right now and to be grateful for what I have."
Shortly after reading Book Three, I stumbled upon a book titled Allegorizings, by the great Welsh writer, traveler, adventurer, scholar Jan Morris. The book is a posthumous message from Morris that everything is an allegory; nothing is what it seems.

Urbantasm is much more than a teen novel; it is an epic serial allegory.

This one ingredient may be responsible for your never-full feelings
Health Updated Apr 20, 2017 @ 11:09 am
Everyone knows that salty foods make you thirsty. But according to new research, when people increase their sodium intake long-term, they actually drink less water. And that's not the study's only surprising finding: High sodium levels also increase feelings of hunger, the authors say, which may suggest that high-salt diets contribute to weight gain.
Experts say this counterintuitive discovery—that dietary salt boosts appetite but decreases thirst—upends more than 100 years of conventional scientific wisdom. The findings are published this week as a set of two papers in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
In the first paper, German and American researchers report on 10 Russian cosmonauts who participated in flight simulation programs from 2009 to 2011. The men were living in a tightly controlled environment for months at a time, so they were ideal for nutritional and metabolic research.
The authors wanted to see what would happen when they gradually decreased the cosmonauts' dietary salt intake from 12 grams a day (similar to an average Russian diet) to 6 grams a day (the recommendation of most national health experts). Prevailing science suggested that the men would be less thirsty, and drink less water, as their sodium levels decreased.

But that's not what happened. Instead, the men drank less water when they were on the high-salt diet—suggesting that their bodies were either conserving or producing more water, not flushing it out with the salt, as previously suspected.
Senior author Jens Titze, MD, associate professor of medicine and of molecular physiology and biophysics at Vanderbilt University, says the findings were unexpected, but not entirely surprising.
"It makes sense that on a high-salt diet, the body wants to prevent water loss," he says. "So the kidneys have to find a way to increase water content—and if you have more water content in your body, you're going to be less thirsty."
The men also reported feeling hungrier when their salt levels were higher, even though they were getting the same amount of calories and nutrients. This may be because it takes extra energy for the body to conserve water, explains Dr. Titze. "I do think that if we'd offered the cosmonauts more food, they would have overeaten and gained weight," he says.
In the second paper, the researchers replicated their findings in mice. In these experiments, they did find that mice on high-salt diets ate more food than those on low-salt diets. They also found that high-salt diets were associated with a breakdown of muscle protein. The protein was converted into urea, a chemical that enables the kidneys to reabsorb fluid and prevent water loss while salt is excreted.

What's more, the breakdown process was fueled by an increase in glucocorticoids—compounds that, in humans, have been linked to the development of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and osteoporosis. That's significant, says Dr. Titze, because scientists to-date have mainly focused on how sodium contributes to high blood pressure.
"Our findings suggest that there is much more to know," he says. If a high-salt diet triggers an increase in glucocorticoids, he says, it could predispose people to other chronic health problems—even in the absence of blood pressure changes. And it could potentially raise the risk of metabolic syndrome, a combination of three or more risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
Dr. Titze says that, when it comes to the short-term effects of salty foods, "bartender's wisdom" still holds true. "If you put salted peanuts down in front of your customers, they're absolutely going to consume more drinks," he says. "But our research showed that, over several months and even over 24 hours, they're going to conserve more water and actually consume less."
In an accompanying commentary article, Mark Zeidel, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, wrote that the new studies challenge common beliefs about how sodium and fluid levels are balanced in the body. They also demonstrate that an adjustment in dietary salt "changes protein and fat metabolism, and alters eating and drinking habits," among other physiological changes in the body.
Learning more about these changes may help scientists develop new treatments for conditions like high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, Dr. Zeidel wrote. Dr. Titze says it may also help doctors better understand the connection between salt and weight gain.
Of course, most sodium in the typical American diet doesn't come from table salt; it comes from restaurant meals and processed foods that also tend to be high in sugar, saturated fats, and simple carbs—so there's already plenty of reason to limit these in your diet. These new studies may suggest one more.
Dr. Titze says that if his team's theories hold up, reductions in sodium content across the packaged food and restaurant industries could potentially prevent some of these harmful effects on metabolism and appetite. Until then, he takes a simple approach to reducing sodium and managing his weight: "If you eat less of everything, you will automatically eat less sodium," he says. "So my take is to exercise a bit more and eat less in general."

As the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) inches closer to finalizing the terms and conditions of the new direct-to-home (DTH) licence, industry leader Dish TV has approached the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) highlighting the issues faced by DTH players due to high licence fee and lack of level playing field.
In his letter to the TRAI chairman, Jawahar Goel, chairman and managing director of Dish TV India, has pointed out that the DTH industry is running into heavy losses due to multiple taxes. Additionally, Goel has sought support from the ministry and parity in treatment vis-a-vis the competitors to minimize losses.

Q: Why would Windows Server 2012 not respond on ports above 6000? This is a new question but similar to this previous one.
I've inherited the management of a Windows 2012 Server (not R2) and I'm unable to get a response from any ports above 6000.
I have services on 8098, 41200 and 42222. Netstat shows they are listening.
There is no positive rejection. Client requests just timeout.
I've tried with the firewall off for all profiles and with rules to open all ports & applications etc
I've ensured NAP is disabled.
I've removed the Direct Access role that the customer had installed but didn't need and have removed the policies that this role installed.
I've done a Base Filtering Engine reset by removing the policy keys in the registry and then doing a "netsh advfirewall reset" followed by a reboot.
I haven't yet tried turning off the BFE service completely but I need to be on site to do that as I'll lose connection when the dependent Windows Firewall service stops.
I've spent hours and hours on this and cannot find the cause or any sensible suggestions for what else it could be.
I've seen other posts elsewhere about problems with ports above 6000 but they don't lead to anything useful.
Is there something specific about TCP ports > 6000 ?

Lester Bradner papers
This collection consists of approximately five hundred letters written by Lester Bradner to his future wife, Edith Mitchell Murray, of Flushing, New York. The correspondence commences shortly after their first meeting in 1888 while Bradner was a Yale College student, and continues through the remainder of his Yale career (he received his Ph.D. in 1889) and the two years which he spent at the University of Berlin (1891-1893) studying Biblical history and exegesis, and Hebrew, Assyrian, and Arabic.
Through the letters the growth of their friendship and later engagement can be observed, although unfortunately none of Edith Murray's letters have been preserved. Bradner's letters describe his academic and social life in New Haven, Dansville (New York), and Berlin, as well as his summer travels in America and Europe. He dwells in some detail on his religious beliefs and his view of theology and the ministry.

Gift of Leicester Bradner, 1964.
0.5 Linear Feet
The papers consist of approximately 500 letters written by Lester Bradner to his future wife Edith Mitchell Murray of Flushing, New York. During their courtship Bradner spent two years (1891-1893) studying at the University of Berlin, after taking a Ph.D. at Yale University in 1889. His letters describe his life both in New York and Berlin, as well as his summer travels in Europe and the United States. He also discusses his religious beliefs and the ministry.
Lester Bradner was born at Chicago, Illinois, March 9, 1867. His father, Lester Bradner, '57 (son of Lester Bradner and Fanny Hammond), was born November 1, 1836, at Dansville, New York; removing to Chicago, he became general freight agent of the Illinois Central Railroad. Later, as partner in Bradner, Charnley & Company, he became interested in the lumber business. He died December 26, 1907, at Dansville, New York. His first American ancestor was John Bradner, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, who came to America in 1714. June 7, 1865, he married Lucy Atwater Charnley of Philadelphia, who was born August 14, 1841, and died in Carlsbad, Austria, April 1, 1912. Besides his father, Bradner had three uncles and two cousins who were Yale men.
Bradner prepared for college at the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven. In Freshman year he won the Hurlbut prize and a first grade Berkeley premium. He won a number of prizes for running the half mile and was a member of the University Track Teams of 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889. He took philosophical oration stand both at Junior Exhibition and Commencement and therefore became a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
He spent the first two years after graduation in New Haven, taking a postgraduate course in Semitic languages under Professor Harper, receiving therefor [ sic ] a Ph.D. degree in June, 1891. He went abroad in the autumn of 1891 and studied at the University of Berlin for two years. Returning in 1893, he took Senior year at the General Theological Seminary in New York City and received the degree of B.D. in the spring of 1894. Then for seven years he was assistant minister of the Church of the Ascension in that city. In January 1902, he became rector of St. John's Church of Providence, Rhode Island; he resigned December 31, 1912, and traveled in Palestine, Italy and Germany. On his return he took a position with the General Board of Religious Education of the Episcopal Church, a new organization devoted to the advancement of educational standards in religious teaching. Here he was in control of the national Episcopal system of teaching-training and conducted a Correspondence School. He was also producing new textbooks for Church Schools, and writing articles for current periodicals on religious education.
When the General Board of Religious Education was merged in 1919-20, into the National Council of the Episcopal Church, he continued in the same work, becoming one of the secretaries in the Department of Religious Education, which position he still holds, although a year's illness has prevented active work in 1923. He published a small study in school-grading entitled "Organizing the Smaller Sunday School." He was been for some years Departmental Editor for Religious Education of the Anglican Theological Quarterly. In 1922 the University of the South, at Sewanee, Tenn., gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He remained in the General Board of Religious Education till his death.
During the first year of the War, he gave half of his time in the office of the Church War Commission.
October 15, 1895, he married at Flushing, New York, Edith Mitchell Murray, daughter of William K. Murray and Annie C. Mitchell. She died February 14, 1919. They had three sons: Leicester Bradner, born January 14, 1899; William Burray Bradner, born December 26, 1900; John Bradner, born at Providence, August 13, 1904; and one daughter, Edith Bradner, born at Providence, June 23, 1906.

Hindus seek apology from Campbell's Soup after posting Diwali inspired recipe with beef
Hindus are seeking an apology from global food company Campbell's for listing a beef recipe under their "Diwali Inspired Recipes" which states "Celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, this autumn with Campbell's Kitchen's collection of inspired recipes," on their website.
According to a press release, "stir-fried beef" is part of "Spicy Beef & Broccoli Pinwheels" which is listed among the "most popular" five recipes on the "Diwali Inspired Recipes" page on Campbell's website, where it is called "simply elegant entrée" and the ingredients include Swanson Beef Broth or Stock.
Hindu statesman and President of Universal Society of Hinduism Rajan Zed said in a statement that the consumption of beef was highly conflicting to Hindu beliefs as the cow is the seat of many deities and it is considered a sacred animal in Hinduism.
He also indicated that it was highly insensitive for the Campbell Soup Company to term a beef dish as a "Diwali Inspired Recipe" and that it is offensive to Hindus as Diwali is the most popular holiday celebrated among them.
Zed urged Campbell's Interim CEO Keith R. McLoughlin and Board Chairman Les C. Vinney to offer an official apology and remove this beef recipe from their "Diwali Inspired Recipes."

The winners write the history!
See text in The Scientist on a criticism of Mendelian genetics by Walter Frank Raphael Weldon:
Weldon also took a hard statistical look at Mendel's data, and the analysis only added to his suspicion. Even if Weldon assumed Mendel's predictions were accurate, the data were just too good to be true—the equivalent of flipping a coin 100 times and getting exactly 50 heads and 50 tails.
In 1902, Weldon published his critiques in Biometrika, a journal he had cofounded the previous year. According to Radick, Weldon considered Mendel's data symptomatic of the wider problem with binary categories, which construct a misleading concept of genetic dominance. "Weldon's confirmed view was that biological science was just on the verge of breaking through to the next level because it was taking variation so seriously," says Radick. "But it all depended on researchers who were not satisfied with a fictional idealization of complex data—which is, in his mind, what you're dealing with when you're dealing with 'yellow.' "
For Weldon, Mendel's patterns represented special cases where humans had artificially bred out variation in domestic plants and animals. But his paper was met with harsh criticism from a colleague, William Bateson. Former schoolmates, Weldon and Bateson suffered a falling out in the mid-1890s after a series of scientific disagreements. Their rivalry continued through the early 1900s, when Weldon started to write a book detailing his thoughts on Mendel—but Weldon died unexpectedly in 1906 at the age of 46. Bateson continued to champion Mendelian principles and garnered widespread acceptance of rules still taught today in the opening chapters of genetics textbooks.
"Weldon gets remembered, if at all, as the one who misguidedly obstructed the path to Mendelism," says Radick. "The winners write the history." But Weldon's ideas and his unfinished book, stored in the archives at University College London, suggest an alternative path that the early study of genetics might have taken—one that would have more closely approached a modern understanding of DNA's complexity, embracing variation and unexpected results as crucial to the system rather than exceptions.
link: http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/45104/title/Mendel-in-the-Hot-Seat--1902/&utm_campaign=NEWSLETTER_TS_The-Scientist-Daily_2016&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=26483538&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_9tjceBGJJSFMoXajqFyUJ9BffewZ5H_Hj9YV23Z-rK4UzaAyClmhgGv46CxILZ6P4WKodQq8Jsc1gDFBcb8P-TDiuIw&_hsmi=26483538/
As a project for a History of Statistics course taught at the University of Chicago, Zacariah Labby[6] built a machine[7] to roll the dice and automatically count the dots (pips) on each die. The resulting data allowed Labby to repeat Weldon and Pearson's original investigations, as well as delve deeper into the analysis.
Recall the earlier finding:
The conclusion is that the dice show
a clear bias toward fives and sixes, which
Pearson estimated was probably due to
the construction of the dice. Most inexpensive
dice have hollowed-out pips,
and since opposite sides add to seven,
the face with six pips is lighter than its
opposing face, which has only one pip.
