Online database for pets helps solve homicide
August 27, 2013 by Charles Var SHARE
An online database of British cats has indirectly, and quite remarkably, helped capture and convict a man of manslaughter, according to the Athens Banner-Herald. Jon Wetton from the University of Leicester said its feline DNA database, which illustrates genetic material of pets, can be used by crime scene investigators to help solve crimes.
"This is the first time cat DNA has been used in a criminal trial in the U.K.," said Jon Wetton from the University of Leicester. "This could be a real boon for forensic science, as the 10 million cats in the U.K. are unwittingly tagging the clothes and furnishings in more than a quarter of households."
This isn't the first time a pet has been used to help solve a crime, as the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, used animal DNA to help catch a criminal in London who left blood at the scene of a stabbing. His DNA was later matched to the suspect's bull terrier by matching up traces from the pet to that of the scene of the crime. This method of sleuthing shows just how versatile using a custom online database can be, as these crimes may have gone unsolved if not for these compilations of information.
Tech Republic said one great reason for using a custom online database is the ability to have more users get access to data they otherwise would not. Interfaces like this are unbound by their nature, so there can be more concurrent users and more can be done with the information at hand. In cases like this where police work is helped, having an online database can be invaluable.

The Murder, She Wrote Wiki is a wiki-based reference on Wikia for the television series "Murder, She Wrote" and "The Law & Harry McGraw"
Welcome to Murder, She Wrote
Doctor Seth Hazlitt, Jessica Fletcher and Sheriff Mort Metzger
Murder, She Wrote was a long running Murder Mystery Series which aired on CBS For 12 seasons. During the height of its success it also spawned a spin-off series, The Law & Harry McGraw. The series follows the adventures of the principal character, Jessica Fletcher, as she pens her new books while solving murders around the world. While in early episodes she is considered a nosy busybody she eventually builds a reputation as an outstanding investigator within Law Enforcement circles. For the first 7 seasons Jessica resided in Cabot Cove, however in the eighth season she moved to New York. The series also had a recurring cast, such as Jessica's Nephew Grady Fletcher, and her close friend Dr. Seth Hazlitt.
The Law & Harry McGraw Title Screen
The Law & Harry McGraw is a spin-off show from the long running mystery series, Murder, She Wrote. The show featured the character of Harry McGraw, played by Jerry Orbach, whom had appeared in a number of Murder, She Wrote episodes prior to this series and would appear again on Murder, She Wrote after the cancellation of The Law & Harry McGraw.
The Character of Harry McGraw had been fairly well developed in three episodes of Murder, She wrote prior to the start of this series. The spirit of his character was continued in this series, he was usually strapped for cash and driving a wrecked car. He often used his Niece EJ as his receptionist and research assistant.

Die ST-68U (NATO-Code: Tin Shield, russische Bezeichnung: 19Ж6, Koroljewa (Königin)) ist ein Luftraumüberwachungsradargerät, das ursprünglich in der Eloka-Organisation der Länder des ehemaligen Warschauer Vertrages eingesetzt wurde. Es wurde 1981 entwickelt und befindet sich heute noch in vielen Staaten des ehemaligen Ostblocks im Einsatz. Es wird ebenfalls bei Exportversionen des S-300P-Systems als Ersatz für das Suchradar 64N6 "Big Bird" verkauft.

Technik
Die ST-68U ist ein 3D-Radar mit einer frequenzgesteuerten Phased-Array-Antenne. Durch insgesamt vier verschiedene Sendefrequenzen werden durch das Antennendiagramm vier unterschiedliche Höhenwinkel überstrichen. Durch die Überlappung der einzelnen Diagramme können die Höhenwinkel zwischen diesen vier Einzelwinkeln grob interpoliert werden.

Es werden 127 Einzelstrahler durch einen Hohlleiter mit Umwegleitungen gespeist. Bei der Frequenz F1 sind alle Umwegleitungen so dimensioniert, dass im Höhenwinkel 0° abgestrahlt wird. Wird die Frequenz erhöht (F2) stimmt die Länge dieser Umwegleitungen nicht mehr mit der Wellenlänge überein. Die Einzelstrahler werden mit unterschiedlichen Phasenlagen gespeist, der Strahler Nummer 127 erhält die Phase später als der Strahler Nummer 1, somit wird der Höhenwinkel angehoben.

Diese Art der Strahlschwenkung ist zwar sehr einfach aufgebaut, ist aber auf wenige fest installierte Sendefrequenzen beschränkt und hat den entscheidenden Nachteil, dass bei Störungen auf diesen Frequenzen keine Frequenzwechsel möglich sind. Eine Frequenzmodulation des Sendeimpulses (Pulskompressionsverfahren) ist nur eingeschränkt möglich. Zusätzlich besitzt die ST68U eine zweite Strahlergruppe, mit der das gesamte Antennendiagramm nach oben geschwenkt werden kann.

Das Radargerät ist mit einem Plotextraktor mit automatischer Zielerkennung ausgestattet, der bis zu 128 Zielzeichen automatisch verarbeiten kann. Von diesen Zielzeichen werden wiederum nur 32 Ziele dann als echte Ziele erkannt und automatisch gemeldet und begleitet.
Als erstes Radargerät aus sowjetischer Produktion besitzt die ST68U ein BITE-System (SUSIK). Durch dieses System sollten Fehler des Radargerätes automatisch erkannt und angezeigt werden. In der Praxis wurden jedoch 80 % aller Fehler durch dieses System selbst verursacht.
Eine weitere Besonderheit ist der Modus "Kraftkampf". Dabei wird die Sendeenergie nicht auf vier Frequenzen verteilt – und damit höhenwinkelverteilt –, sondern in nur einer Frequenz und damit in einem Höhenwinkel abgestrahlt. Somit vervierfacht sich die Energiedichte für diesen Höhenwinkel.

Dieses Radar wird seit der Aufnahme der Republik Ungarn auch in der NATO verwendet.

Polest 68UM

Das mobile Luftverteidigungs- und Zielzuweisungsradarsystem Polest 68UM verwendet ebenfalls zwei ST-68UM (GRAU-Index: 36D6) sowie ein 55G6-1-"Nebo"-Überwachungsradar und wird auf einem Sattelauflieger vom Typ MAZ-938B transportiert. Zusätzlich gehört zum System ein Stromversorgungsfahrzeug vom Typ MAZ-5224W. Die Antenne 40W6M wird mit einem dritten Fahrzeug auf Basis eines KamAZ-4310 befördert und mit dem hydraulisch aufzurichtenden 23,8 m hohen Mast wird eine Reichweite von bis zu 200 km erreicht. Das System ist in der Lage, Marschflugkörper zu erfassen, zu identifizieren und zu verfolgen und kann auch zusammen mit dem Langstrecken-Boden-Luft-Lenkwaffensystem S-300P eingesetzt werden. Der Polest-68UM-Komplex wird seinerseits durch eine Einheit mit tragbaren 9K310-Igla-1- oder 9K38-Igla-Lenkwaffen geschützt.

After 18 months, working together with colleagues from NS&I, Atos and ID Quantique (IDQ) – we're proud to launch ERNIE 5 this month.
ERNIE 5 was independently reviewed on its security, both logical and physical to ensure the highest standards of integrity were maintained.
The Government Actuary's Department (GAD) has also played a vital role throughout the project, providing independent verification that the numbers generated by ERNIE 5 are truly random.
Whilst technology changes quickly, each generation of ERNIE has managed to successfully do the job we need for about 15 years.
Read more about the different generations of ERNIE.
When it launched in 2004, ERNIE 4's ability to generate 1 million numbers per hour was three times faster than its predecessor. But by 2019 it was beginning to look slow when considering the volume of numbers required for each monthly prize draw.
The new ERNIE 5, created by ID Quantique (IDQ), has refreshed the system hardware, replaced the Random Number Generator, produced new software and enhanced its security.
IDQ based in Geneva, Switzerland, provides quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, quantum safe network encryption, single photon counters, and hardware random number generators.

Patient plays greater role in The Fifth Estate series than in the health system
April 15, 2013, Ottawa — No surprises here. The results of CBC's The Fifth Estate "Rate My Hospital" series echo what the health-care community has been saying for decades. What is now needed but has yet to happen is fundamental change and a collective effort at the system, provider and bedside levels.
"Nurses care deeply about the quality of their care and the health and safety of their patients," said Barb Mildon, Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) president. "This series shows nurses are concerned with their ability to provide that safe and competent care in today's workplace. And their workplace situation is a microcosm of what is happening with many different provider groups in all care settings. For the sake of the patients, action must be taken on all fronts."
About 60 per cent of registered nurses (RNs) who responded to CBC's online survey said there was not enough staff for them to properly do their jobs. Nearly 40 per cent of respondents said they suffered from a high degree of burn out. Many of the problems hospitals face are the result of our overreliance on the already overburdened hospital system.
The first step in fundamental transformation is to look outside the hospital for solutions. Expanding support and resources to community health centres, nurse practitioner-led clinics and home care will help relieve the backlog of hospital patients, allow RNs and other care providers to focus on the serious and complex hospital cases, and ultimately, help Canadians access the care they need.
"Governments and hospital administrators are constantly asking nurses to do more with less — less budget, less staff and fewer supplies even," said Linda Silas, Canadian Federation of Nurses Union (CFNU) president. "They too have a responsibility to address and resolve problems when the quality of care we can provide to patients suffers. They must make allies of nurses — the largest group of health-care providers and the best frontline resource — because we are a voice for patients with insights into the issues and ideas for the solutions."
According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the number of RNs in management positions has been on the decline since 2010. This decline is especially concerning given the fear voiced by nurses during The Fifth Estate's program. Some respondents feared reprimand, bullying and even job loss for speaking out against employers. An essential next step in transformation is for employers to foster an environment where nurses feel comfortable bringing forth problems, since that would give them a chance to offer solutions.
"Individual RNs are leading change every day in their own workplaces, yet without a voice at management levels or in government policy it's very difficult to effect wide-reaching change," said Mildon. "Pockets of success are encouraging, but Canadians will continue to face inequities in care until we transform the kind of local innovations nurses can provide into national solutions."
"I sincerely hope the federal government paid close attention to this series," said Silas. "Canada's health-care system is lacking leadership from the current government, and Canadians are being put at risk. When the health and safety of our nation is at stake, they must take an active role in health.
CNA and CFNU are determined to ensure that The Fifth Estate's series will reignite important discussions and compel governments, providers and Canadians to work together for change. Further, both organizations ask that the CBC's complete research be made publicly available so it can be examined against other data, such as overtime hours, part-time and casual employment rates and staffing levels.
The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) is the national professional voice of registered nurses in Canada. A federation of 11 provincial and territorial nursing associations and colleges representing nearly 150,000 registered nurses, CNA advances the practice and profession of nursing to improve health outcomes and strengthen Canada's publicly funded not-for-profit health system.
The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) represents close to 200,000 nurses and student nurses. Our members work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, community health care, and our homes. The CFNU speaks to all levels of government, other health care stakeholders and the public about evidence-based policy options to improve patient care, working conditions and our public health care system.

This page briefly explains the political situation surrounding public school financing in Kansas, brings you up to date on the latest news, and connects you with our partners working to support a strong future for public education, teachers, and school children.
In Brief: The financing of public education is a requirement of the Kansas Constitution. Despite this binding obligation, and despite numerous lawsuits, Kansas legislators and lobbyists have been continuing to slash state spending on education to fulfill their mission to shrink government. Without greater voter engagement, they may ultimately cause Kansas public schools to fail.
Moderate position: We believe that a strong system of public education, pre-K through college, is essential to the economic prosperity of our state, and requires well paid teachers who are encouraged to challenge our students, equitable opportunities for every child regardless of their situation, and rigorous academic standards free from religious or ideological influence.

The Kansas chapter of the National Education Association publishes a well-researched and insightful newsletter.
The current situation for public education in Kansas is dire. Massive cuts in 2008 following the recession have not been restored by an increasingly extremist legislature. Lawsuit after lawsuit has been filed and won by the school districts, but to no avail. All the rulings agree that Kansas is failing to meet its constitutional obligation to provide suitable education funding. Yet nothing has been done.
The plan is to dismember public education in Kansas
Now, Governor Brownback and his allies among the Kansas legislators are working to staunch the bleeding from their irresponsible tax cuts by slashing education further. So far this year we have seen retro-active mid-year education cuts of over $120 million, a proposal for "level-funding" via block grants that would ignore cost of living and other needs for several years, and a re-write of the funding formula for public education.
Why the school finance formula works
Together, these changes are designed to make K12 allotments more palatable to the limited-government legislators and their financial patrons, regardless of whether the budget will provide the necessary tools to help every Kansas child succeed.
And that's just school finance.
Public education has also seen teachers devalued, their rights taken away, their opportunities for training reduced. A voucher program installed last year that gives massive corporate tax credits in exchange for private school "scholarship" money is being expanded this year. Rigorous educational standards are being challenged, threatening our schools' excellence. There is even an attempt to criminalize teaching anything a parent might find objectionable.

Conservative and libertarian party platforms have routinely balked at the cost of public education and other governmental functions. But in Kansas, we have a long history of strong public schools, a tradition that has led to the state's reputation as a compelling place to raise a family and grow a business.
That all began to change in 2008, when the great recession hit Kansas hard, and everyone in state government was asked to shoulder the burden. Public schools carried their share, with the understanding that when the economy improved, cuts would be restored, in alignment with the legislature's constitution obligation.

Legislature's 2006 Constitutional Obligation – CJ Online Dec 31, 2014
But when the economy started to recover, Governor Brownback and his allies in the legislature choose to break their campaign promises to the schools. Instead, they enacted the now infamous experimental income tax cuts of 2012. Best case scenario from this financial incentive to small businesses was to be a shot of adrenaline in the arm of the Kansas economy, and the rising tide of economic growth would float all boats.
Instead, the economic "recovery" has been a disaster on numerous fronts. Brownback's own administration has been unable to forecast revenue in any reliable way, leaving the state perpetually behind in paying its bills. Kansas has suffered from virtually no economic growth, despite a vibrant national economy, leading one to the inescapable metaphor that in the middle of this rising tide, our boat has been holed by its own captain.
The state was sued again in 2009 for failing to restore public education funding to suitable levels, as defined by the 2006 Supreme Court ruling. This new case, Gannon vs Kansas, was decided in 2014, appealed, decided again, put off, and left up in the air. Here is some background from the Supreme Court's appeal ruling.

At the end of the session in 2014, directly after the Court had handed down its decision, the extremists in the Kansas Legislature passed a middle of the night bill nobody was given the chance to read, that purported to fulfill the Court's requirement, but also stripped some teachers' rights and gave tax money to private schools. By most accounts it was a travesty of the legislative process.
Kansas lawmakers pass school finance bill merging funding equity with education reforms - KC Star, Apr 6, 2014
At the close of 2014, Kansans faced an estimated $1 Billion dollar budget hole into FY2016. Gov Brownback has again turned to the public education system, the biggest user of state funds, to balance his income tax cuts. Public education in Kansas is already closing buildings, reducing staff numbers, increasing class sizes, and begging funds from their local home owners. Our K12 schools have no more fat to trim, there hasn't been for years.
As with anything political, the facts and the spin fly fast and furious. Here are a few facts that cannot be denied, no matter how education cutters try.
Kansas budget primer
Ballotpedia provides user-friendly descriptive reports on state budgets, breaking down costs and comparing neighboring states neighboring states. Kansas collects and spends about $6 billion from state funds, called the "State General Fund." This is the part of the budget that pays for state services like education and roads. This is the part of the budget everyone talks about when we have budget issues regarding schools, roads and such. The state income taxes up until 2012 had typically generated about 50% of State General Fund revenues. And, Kansas had traditionally spent about 50% of the State General Fund on public education, as do most other states.
Here's a link: "Kansas state budget" on Ballotpedia
Money for schools has been slashed since 2008, and is not going back up
You will hear the Kansas legislative leadership argue that, "school funding has increased every year under Governor Brownback." As described by Mark Tallman of KASB, dollar amounts have gone up, yes, but adjusted for inflation, the level of funding has been flat. Worse, any "increase" has been to cover pension costs and building payments. Actual money for teachers and other student services has been going down. Tallman Report, Aug 11, 2014
In addition, a report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported in May of 2014 that Kansas ranked third nationally in states that have restored the least amount of education funding since the 2008 recessionary cuts. 16.5% lower per-student than in 2008. In 2013 alone, Kansas cut funding 2.6% per-student. The report goes on to describe the serious consequences of K-12 funding cuts. "Most States Funding Schools Less Than Before the Recession," Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, May 20, 2014
Cuts to education risk the quality of public education
Some will tell you that schools can stand to trim their budgets with little effect. A report by the Kansas Center for Economic Growth says otherwise. They show the effects on schools of cuts since 2008, resulting in fewer teachers, despite more students, and more at-risk students with fewer resources, higher property taxes and smaller cash reserves. Beyond just school instruction, even sports, the arts, and other activities have been reduced by 30% of districts. "Quality at Risk: Impact of Education Cuts," Kansas Center for Economic Growth (.pdf)
The economy has improved in Kansas, but education funding is not keeping pace
The opposition will declare that the poor economy has forced cuts to education. Yes, but since then, as described by Tallman again, if education funding had kept pace with the improvements in personal income growth in the state (that is, if the Governor had not slashed income tax revenue) funding levels would be keeping pace with the best projections. We could even have funded all day kindergarten (one of the Governor's priorities, he once said). Tallman Report, Aug 11, 2014


The Ives seized the opportunity to give a run out to all of their fit and available players in their opening pre-season game at a sunny Pro-Edge Stadium on Saturday.
The playing surface looked as good as it has probably ever done at this stage of the season following the warm, damp start to the summer and the visiting step six Imps were expecting a challenging encounter against the now step three hosts.
Following last season's promotion, the management team had been busy recruiting over the short summer break and the Ives faithful were eagerly anticipating a first view of the many new recruits to the host's ranks.
The starting line up only boasted four of last season's successful squad and seven newcomers, six of whom have already put their name to the Ives cause for the forthcoming season. The odd man out being stand in keeper Tom Spenser filling in whilst Tim Trebes was enjoying his holiday.
Right from the off it became clear the new squad was boasting a little more quality and pace than last year. New central midfielder Tom McGowan was the first man to get a shot away for the hosts as the visitor's defence struggled to clear a long throw from Harry O'Malley in only the third minute and McGowan quickly pounced on the loose ball to rattle the boards with a crisp drive from 20 yards that flew inches wide.
The first effort on target came only six minutes later as two more newcomers combined to test visiting keeper Quincay Showunmi. Sam Ives run and cross from the left was met perfectly by the late arriving Josh Dawkin at the far post. But his powerful volley from ten yards was blocked by the body of the keeper.
Ives showed that extra little touch of skill and ability in this year's squad as on 19 minutes he picked up the ball in central midfield and had the composure the look up and see keeper Showunmi a little way out of his goal. A perfectly flighted lob had the custodian scurrying backwards to just keep the ball out at the second attempt.
Showunmi again saved his side on 27 minutes as he bravely denied Andrew Phillips. Dawkin set off on an excellent run cutting in from the left past two defenders. The ball was just taken off his toe by a third covering man, but Phillips was onto the loose ball in a flash only for Showunmi to come flying off his line to block the striker's effort at point blank range.
Two minutes later the same two players were involved again with the same result. The struggling Imps back line failed to clear a low ball to the edge of the box and again Phillips pounced on the loose ball and tried to slot it home, but again Showunmi was equal to it plunging low to his left to push the ball away.
The visitors had rarely raided into Ives territory, but they almost caught the host's back line napping on 36 minutes. The pacey Michael Nelson took on Charlie De'ath and got around him before driving a low ball into the box that Lee Chaffey sliced over his own cross bar. Centre back Gavin Cooke got on the end of Stu Lambie's corner, but powered his header over the top.
Just as it looked like Ives were not going to get in front before the break they suddenly grabbed the lead with a goal out of nothing four minutes from the break and then doubled their advantage just seconds before the whistle.
The first goal came from a harmless looking ball delivered into the middle by O'Malley. Phillips will always chase any cause and as both goalkeeper and centre back dallied the ever willing striker nipped between them to just toe end the ball past the late arriving stopper.
The second came from a goalkeeping error from the unfortunate Showunmi. Jordan Jarrold delivered one of his trade mark cross field pings from the left that arrived at the feet of Ives beyond the far post. The skilful striker took down the ball well, but miss hit his shot straight at the keeper who inexplicably allowed it to slip through both his hands and his legs before it rolled agonisingly inches over the line.
Josh Dawkin also had an excellent double chance to grab a goal in between those two strikes as he ran clear onto a long ball through the middle. His first effort was blocked by the legs of Showunmi and the follow up was acrobatically cleared off the line by the covering Ash Hibbitt.
Ives made four substitutions at half time and a further five around the hour which meant the second half was a much more disjointed affair. The Imps spurned an excellent opportunity to pull a goal back on 57 minutes as a ball in from the right arrived at the feet of Nick Young. He was denied by a brave point blank block by Spenser only for the ball to roll to Nelson inside the six yard box. But he could only rattle the upright with his effort from a tight angle.
The third Ives goal arrived on 77 minutes and it was created by trialist Guiy Mailancel who danced past three players down the left and delivered a deep cross to beyond the far post where fellow substitute Ben Seymour-Shove picked up the ball and drove in a low cross that the unfortunate Cooke turned past his own keeper at the near post.
Mailancel came close to grabbing a goal of his own with six minutes to go as Jack Higgs fed the ball out to him on the left and he cut inside his marker before firing in a fierce drive that stung the hands of keeper Showunmi who only held it at the second attempt.
The last action of the afternoon belonged to the visitors who grabbed a consolation goal with four minutes to go that will have disappointed the home management team. Hibbitt delivered a corner from the left that was powerfully headed home by Eddie McDonald who had found space in the box.

Ivanka Trump Says Donald 'Very Supportive' of Conversion to Judaism
Ivanka Trump said her father, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, was fully supportive of her conversion to Judaism.
"My father was very supportive," she said at a CNN town hall meeting featuring the presidential candidate and his family broadcast Tuesday evening. "He knows me. He knows and he trusts my judgment. When I make decisions, I make them in a well-reasoned way. I don't rush into things.
Why Ivanka and Eric Trump Won't Get To Vote for Donald in New York Primary
Maia EfremApril 12, 2016
Ivanka Trump, who works for her real estate magnate father's corporation, had an Orthodox conversion before marrying Jared Kushner, the scion of another real estate family.
"I appreciate the support [my father] gave me because obviously these decisions are not taken lightly," Ivanka Trump said, replying to a question from Joseph Cohen, a law student at Columbia University.
"And it would have been much more hard if I had had headwinds, but he believes in me," she said. "He loves my husband. They're incredibly close, which I think was obviously helpful. And he has been very supportive of me in that decision, as in many others that I've taken throughout the years."
Kushner has been the Trump campaign's main point man to the Jewish community, and he helped shape the candidate's well-received speech last month to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The candidates on both the Republican and Democratic slates are focusing on their messaging to the Jewish community ahead of the April 19 New York state primary.
CNN is having town hall meetings this week for each of the three Republican presidential candidates and their families.

Can you imagine a modern house without a refrigerator? Well, it's hard to even think what we would do without refrigeration. Modern cities in developed countries rely heavily on refrigeration to keep perishable foods fresh and safe for daily consumption. Refrigeration has affected agriculture, industry and lifestyles throughout the centuries, from ice harvesting to temperature-controlled railway carriages.
Refrigeration is the name given to the process that "removes heat from one place to another" creating a cool or cold environment that has many applications such as domestic refrigerators, air conditioning systems, cryogenic facilities and industrial freezing units .
The idea of cooling drinks has its origins in the ancient Chinese and Roman empires. Seasonal harvesting of snow and ice is a practice dating back to before 1000 BC according to a collection of Chinese letters from the period known as the Shih Dynasty. The next mention of ice harvesting is in Jewish times and is mentioned in the book of Proverbs in the Bible. Other civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans made use of large snow pits lined with tree branches and straw to cool drinks and keep fruit fresh. But it was not until Persian culture that the use of an ice well called Yakhchal is mentioned; this may be the precursor to the cold storage of food for preservation.
In the early 1800s, ice became a mass-market commodity with a large majority of people using freezers to store dairy products, fish, fruit, meat and vegetables, paving the way for the acceptance of cooling technology.
Refrigeration: the timeline
William Cullen, a Scottish professor, was the first to examine the idea of artificial refrigeration by creating a partial vacuum over a container of diethyl ether that absorbed heat from the surrounding air. This was in 1755, but the experiment had no practical application at the time.
In 1758, professors Benjamin Franklin and John Hadley investigated the principle of evaporation as a means of rapidly cooling an object by conducting an experiment at Cambridge University.
In 1820, renowned British scientist Michael Faraday used high pressures and low temperatures to liquefy ammonia and other gases.
American scientist Jacob Perkins, working in Britain in 1834, assembled the first closed-cycle vapor compression refrigeration system. Although the unpatented prototype was the first known system to work successfully, it was not a commercial success.
American physician John Gorrie made a similar attempt in 1842, but again it was a commercial failure.
The first patented and practical vapor compression refrigeration system using alcohol, ether or ammonia came in 1856 built by James Harrison.
In 1860, Ferdinand Carre of France patented his gas absorption refrigeration system design known as "aqueous ammonia," the process of using ammonia gas dissolved in water.
Meanwhile, an engineering professor at the Technical University of Munich in Germany had been working on an improved method of liquefying gases. In 1876 he patented this new process which was made possible by using gases such as ammonia, sulfur dioxide and methyl chloride as 'refrigerants', a practice which began to be widely used until the late 1920s of the last century
A refrigerant is a substance or chemical used in a heat cycle, as in the case of refrigeration, to turn a liquid into a gas.
In the early 19th century, refrigeration played a vital role in the food distribution industry first through natural ice and then manufactured ice. Many food and meat packing companies in America adopted ammonia cycle refrigeration units for their storage facilities.
With the idea of artificial refrigeration a great success, came the idea of refrigeration for domestic purposes. The limitations were largely due to the dimensions, as they were designed for installation in trucks, lorries and warehouses and the safety factor in case of fire accidents where toxic gases leaked or exploded.
Refrigeration for the home
In 1911, General Electric (GE) became the first company to overcome the challenges of meeting the cooling needs of the home. GE released a gas-powered home unit that eliminated the need for a motor and greatly reduced the size of the unit. However, the idea of a gas unit did not sit well with GE's electric customers, so an electric model frame was put into operation.
In 1927, the Monitor Top, the world's first refrigerator that ran on electricity, was launched. The idea created waves with many other companies hitching their wagon in the run-up to improving this new invention.
One of GE's main competitors, Frigidaire entered the fray in 1930, synthesizing Freon as a refrigerant. This was a breakthrough invention that allowed for the development of cheaper, lighter and smaller refrigerators for home use. At the time, the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) was considered less harmful than commonly used refrigerants such as ammonia, methyl chloride and sulfur dioxide. The intention was to offer safer home equipment at affordable prices.
Today, home refrigerators have become stylish household appliances in a variety of designs, colors and sizes with different temperature control functions to meet the needs of small, medium and large families.
In the 1970s, as the world became aware of environmental concerns and global warming, these CFC compounds were found to react with the protective atmospheric ozone layer, decreasing the use of CFCs as refrigerants as set out in the Montreal Protocol of 1987. Today, manufacturers have embraced the idea of using green refrigerants such as hydrocarbons as a means to combat global warming and reduce the impact of greenhouse gases .

Okay, there are some crazy things that differentiate us as places.
In Idaho growing up, it was incredible how many people would turn onto a two lane road where the speed limit was high and then putt putt up to speed….didn't matter how far away you were when they did it, you had to slam on the brakes.
In Utah, where I went to college, drivers are even worse. They never know which way to turn….they are liable to turn right out of the left lane as they are left….
In Washington State, at least Eastern Washington, drivers are incredible polite. But when they turn onto a street, they require about a mile of open space….
But in North Carolina, my adopted home the last 19 years, we top it all. Drivers here come to a full halt in the middle of the street and then turn ever so slowly into a driveway or parking lot. No matter how you gauge your speed to make sure they are out of the way, you're always at risk. Not only do they turn slowly they are just as liable to stop several times during the turn. Drives me crazy. Maybe people forget the car extends back from the driver's seat…or maybe they read the rule wrong and believe they are supposed to create as much interference with traffic as possible.
It is a wonder road rage isn't epidemic.
Our parking lot entries are as good as anywhere in the country…for goodness sakes lets be considerate of traffic and get the heck out of the roadway as quickly as possible. Everyone is afraid to honk the horn…people might throw it in reverse and back – back out on to the street.


For a great summary of the Nicholas Brothers' style and impact on dance, check out this NYT article.
Weren't they on "That's Entertainment," the compilation movie? I remember being awed by their dancing.
We're they on "That's Entertainment," the compilation movie? I remember being awed by their dancing.
I don't know. I've never heard of the Nicholas brothers.
I think the author meant something else by "unrehearsed" though. There's no way this wasn't carefully choreographed.
Agreed. Either the author simply doesn't understand what "unrehearsed" means, or he was just plain dishonest. CLEARLY this was a carefully-crafted and rehearsed dance routine.
And it was very good! Kudos to the Nicholas Bros.
Agate. My definition of "unrehearsed" doesn't match what I clearly saw that absolutely had to be practiced many times to get the timing right.
I've seen several of the Nicholas Brothers' routines in movies and on YouTube and they've always been dazzling and impeccably performed.
When Astaire pronounced their ''Jumpin' Jive'' number in the movie ''Stormy Weather'' (1943) -- unrehearsed and achieved on the first take -- to be the greatest dancing he had ever seen on film, he was not commending the acrobatics alone but rather the way the brothers erupted organically out of their tap steps, like a series of overlapping geysers that, simply to look at, project an observer into a stratosphere of elation.
Yeah, I agree. Hard to comprehend that this was not rehearsed. Not hard to believe that this was gotten on a first take, however.
Either way, it was simply amazing. I think my legs will be sore from just watching this. Them doing splits and rising up not using thier hands. Just damn!
Tremendous talents, but it must have played havoc with their joints after a number of years.

Forward in Faith Ministries International was birthed through a divine calling, when God called a young man living in the remote area of Ngaone in Chipinge, Zimbabwe. Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti was compelled to seek the creator, and although not having access to a preacher or a bible, Ezekiel had experience and encounter with God in which after many days of crying "Creator, if you are there, save my soul," the Lord responded audibly saying "Fear Not, Sin Not." As God revealed Himself to Ezekiel Guti, little did anyone imagine that it would result in a ministry that has now reached over 100 nations and states worldwide. FIFMI (also known as ZAOGA in Zimbabwe), is one of the most powerful movements in post-biblical Christianity,changing millions of lives through the vision given by God to founder Archbishop Dr. Ezekiel H. Guti.


Do you live near to a local marijuana dispensary or smoke shop? Or is the gas station where you usually buy your blunt wraps? To make the right pick can be quite an overwhelming process, if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. How can you pick the top blunt wraps to use to roll your weed when there are so many choices? Well, it depends on what you prefer. Some recreational users prefer to wrap their weed in paper that provides that extra buzz. Some users prefer the slower smoke without any additional effects or flavor. No matter what you are trying to find, below are a list of the top blunt wraps for rolling your weed. Enjoy!
White Owl has been around for a while. These blunt wraps make some of the best joints. The leaves that you find on the exterior will feel and look quite natural, even more than the competition. These wraps come in a wide variety of flavors, but the White Peach one is the most popular. Rolling a White Owl is one of those blunt wraps that you have to split down the middle before you roll a joint. The split must be in close proximity to the seam where the line can be easily seen. Get ready to roll by emptying the guts and tearing the paper.
Even though, some people would prefer to use organic tobacco leaves, there are others who prefer the wrap that is already gutted. It does not matter what your preference, you will love one of these blunt wraps for your weed.
Swisher Sweets sells blunt wraps that are easy and simple to split. These come in a wide assortment of flavors, but the recommended flavor is Blueberry. This is what many of the recreational smokers on the West Coast choose.
One of the popular blunt wrap brands is Phillies. These can be found easily at many pot shops and convenience stores. The strawberry flavor is highly recommended if you want a good smoke and slow-burning joints. You can roll this blunt by cutting and gutting it and using it after applying the cigarillo technique. You can also loosen the outer leaf and use the inner paper to roll your joint and then you can wrap the leave over after you moistening it again. This method gives you a slower and smoother burn.
Game is one of the blunt wraps that you could call classy. These kinds of blunt wraps are repurposed and not used as cigars. The user takes out the tobacco and replaces the tobacco with the weed. The best recommended flavor is White Grape. You can roll this blunt wrap in two ways. If you bought the cigarillos, you would cut it down the middle. If you are using the cigars, then the same technique you use for the Phillies would apply.
Entourage is considered one of the most convenient and flexible blunt wraps being sold on the market currently. They give the user "nicotine high," more than other blunt wraps do. The Wine Flavor is the best recommended. If you are looking for extra buzz from nicotine, then Entourage should be the choice. Prior to rolling, make sure you unravel this wrap. Dump the tobacco's log once you get to the center. After that, you would dust off the tobacco residue with your fingers. Fill it up with weed and then roll into a joint.
If you want a standard way to smoke your blunt, then the Dutchmaster would be one of the best blunt wraps. Palma is the recommended flavor. You could choose the chocolate flavors too as both are slow burners. Use the same method you use for the Phillies blunt wrap for the Dutchmaster.

Maybe Next Time He'll Think Before HE CHEATS!!!!
So midterms are almost over. Spring Break is next week. I'm making it through this semester (barely). I'm just incredibly tired and don't want to do anything but watch tv and sleep (holla). In this honor, "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood is #PhillipsSongOfTheDay because it embodies the feelings all college kids have towards studying and college this point in the year.
"Before He Cheats" was released from Underwood's debut album, Some Hearts, following her win of American Idol, and has subsequently won her a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance (it also won Best Country Song and was nominated for Song of the Year, but Underwood did not receive those honors as she was not one of the writers). I personally believe this song is the reason Carrie Underwood is Carrie Underwood; it catapulted her into one of the most successful country acts today. I remember it "spilling over" (borrowing T. Swift's term) into pop radio, and it being one of the most played songs of the summer. This is probably because it showcases Underwood's amazingly aggressive vocals (she does an incredible job with her scream/growling/grunting words like "right now"), but also because the lyrics are unbelievable catchy.
Just the phrase "$3 worth of that bathroom Polo" is such an incredible descriptor/visual. We just get an image of the jerk this guy is, him primping himself for his date with the other woman (and overindulging in wearing too much cologne).

Whole life insurance is insurance that pays your beneficiaries a specific, fixed amount of money when you die. It differs from term life insurance in that although term insurance only covers you for a specific period of time, whole life insurance will pay out as long as you've been paying your premiums. You can get more information on this through company websites that provide whole life insurance quotes.
Once you have whole life insurance, it can't be cancelled, revoked or reduced unless you stop making your payments or you commit fraud. This means that whole life insurance is very appealing, because it's pretty much guaranteed. It will never go down in value or expire, your whole life insurance rates will never go up, your loved ones are guaranteed a payout in the event of your death, and portions of your premiums also build up cash value that you can borrow against. To find some profitable plans, you can always check whole life insurance quotes online.
It's a personal choice, and it depends on a lot of factors - your age, your finances, and what type of coverage you want to have. Usually, whole insurance rates are higher than a term policy. Your main concern is insuring that you have proper coverage, so if you're considering whole life coverage, you have to think about a few things. For example: selecting whole life insurance quotes initially from a licensed website.
First of all, consider that whole life insurance rates and coverage can be as much as eight times more than comparable term coverage. This doesn't mean that you should just throw up your hands and say "Okay, whole life isn't for me!" You could actually consider mixing whole life with other types of insurance. A good search on whole life insurance quotes that are available online can be a great problem solver.
Keep in mind, too, that your whole life policy is only going to benefit you for as long as you keep it. Frequently, people surrender their whole life policies when times get tight. It's important to keep in mind that the benefits of this type of insurance over the long run can far outweigh the costs i.e. whole life insurance rates.
You have cash value in your whole life insurance policy. What that means is that you can borrow cash against the surrender value of your policy. This can reduce or even eliminate your premiums later on, and it can also provide you with a source of ready cash if you should need it for emergencies. Anything you withdraw won't be taxed unless it exceeds the amount that you've paid into your policy. For thorough understanding of the life insurance plans it is recommended that you should read and compare whole life insurance quotes to find out which policy suits you better.
You can also use the cash value of your policy as collateral for third party loans. And if you have creditors, you don't have to worry about them being able to take your cash value, because you've designated a beneficiary - that money doesn't benefit you, so it's can't be seized. Whole life insurance rates thus do not affect the financial privilege which your beneficiaries deserve.
Your financial state at the time that you take out your whole life insurance policy will determine how you end up later on. Whether or not to buy whole life insurance is up to you. Look out for some whole life insurance quotes online. You should make your decision to buy an insurance plan considering the long term - what you'll get out of it, and what your family will get out of it. So make your decision accordingly. Do not let confusion of whole life insurance rates stop you from talking to an insurer.

EdTech Entrepreneur Uses MBA To Widen Access To Education In Africa
An MBA is helping Line Ayenew get her education social enterprise off the ground
Lina Ayenew founded edtech nonprofit Education for Ethiopia to widen access to education in Africa. She's using the insights she gained from an MBA in China to develop her startup
By Bethany Garner
Fri May 15 2020
For Lina Ayenew, education has always been a priority. Growing up in Ethiopia, though, she quickly realized that access could be patchy. In response, she founded Education for Ethiopia, a nonprofit with the goal of broadening access and improving engagement.
The organization makes use of digital technology to educate students in local languages, with lessons delivered through an app.
Now, she's combining this passion project with her interest in China—using an MBA from Beijing's Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) to get the project off the ground.
Discovering China
The seeds for Lina's fascination with China were planted while she was studying at Yale University. In the final year of her masters in public health, business administration, and management, she was keen to explore other geographies, and applied to the Yale-China program.
This program aims to bridge the knowledge gap between China and the US, through various exchange teaching exchange programs. During Lina's time with the project, she taught a course on public health to medical students in Hunan province.
"Once I got to China and began studying Mandarin, I was hooked!" she says.
"China is very complex and I have found that many of its experiences in the last few decades show what to do and what not to do in various stages of development."
She was so invested that when her teaching tenure ended she remained in China an additional year, working as a client executive with Burson-Marsteller in the PR giant's Beijing office.
The need for education reform
Lina's fascination with China didn't end when she moved home to Ethiopia. Here, she started work on her first book—a guide to learning Mandarin for speakers of Amharic, Ethiopia's official working language.
The book was the first of its kind, and its popularity prompted Lina to think more deeply about Ethiopia's education landscape.
"I began to reflect more deeply on the need to make educational content in local Ethiopian languages," she recalls.
In Ethiopia, educational materials are written in English beyond seventh grade (ages 12-13), making it difficult for most students to access.
Issues like a high student-to-teacher ratio, and students' responsibilities beyond the classroom also compound the problem.
These reflections, coupled with her long-term interest in China, culminated in Lina's second book, The Complete Beginner's Guide to China-Africa Relations.
At the same time, Lina realized that broader change was needed to improve access to education in Ethiopia. In response, she founded Education for Ethiopia.
To get the project off the ground, Lina knew that business school was the answer.
Hoping to develop her managerial skills, and better understand how to leverage EdTech, she returned to China once again—this time for an MBA.
China is a world leader in EdTech, and according to a study by education provider, Navitas, Beijing hosts the world's largest EdTech ecosystem.
Choosing an MBA for social impact
When it came to choosing a program in China, CKGSB was Lina's first choice. The school's robust alumni network, expertise in technology, and focus on social impact work quickly stood out, she recalls.
"I was also hoping to expand my network, and dip my toes into the EdTech space, in order to make digital education in low-resource areas like my country possible," Lina adds.
At CKGSB, Lina has found ample support for her nonprofit. "They are interested in developing leaders who want to do well and do good," she explains. "So sustainability is their focus."
A particular highlight has been the school's in-class incubation program. During this experience, students are challenged to refine and launch their business ideas.
"It has been great to have this launchpad for pitching and funding," Lina reflects. "I was really challenged to find creative ways to make my organization run more efficiently and how to monetize without sacrificing the mission."
At the same time, Lina's CKGSB network is already coming into play. Her MBA classmate, Clement Jean, is joining Education for Ethiopia as chief technology officer.
"Clement found the mission so compelling that he quickly became a core team member," she explains.
With his background in app development, Clement lends crucial skills to the EdTech side of the project, she adds.
Shaping the future of education
With the MBA from CKGSB under her belt, Lina is confident she can drive Education for Ethiopia forward.
"I hope that the CKGSB network will provide life-long mentors, and that the lessons from CKGSB will lay the foundations for framing future business problems under the lens of sustainability," she says.
By delivering Amharic-language content through an app, she believes that many of the barriers to learning she identified can be overcome.
"I hope my organization helps unlock my country's human potential by providing access to STEM content and helping develop diverse talent," she concludes.

New Atlantis, the secret island which could have poisoned the world
Mon, November 20, 2017
By Thomas Flichy de La Neuville
In 1627, New Atlantis, a picturesque fairy tale originally written in Latin by Francis Bacon was published. It was quickly translated into French and English, and attracted considerable attention. Bacon's dream might be very amusing and colorful; we are nevertheless lucky that it never became reality. In effect, New Atlantis would have become our nightmare. Bacon's political and cultural project of world domination would have become both toxic for the population of his island and subversive for the distant kingdoms plundered by the happy sect, which would have controlled Salomon's house.2
A happy and secret island, whose wish is to rule the universe.
In Bacon's fairy tale, New Atlantis3 ruled over the world, but its domination was ignored by its naïve geopolitical periphery: "We here are in God's bosom, a land unknown,"4 explained his representative. The British sailors who had discovered this strange country were surprised indeed: "This happy island where we now stood (…) knew most of the nations of the world (…) and yet we in Europe, notwithstanding all the remote discoveries and navigations of this last age, never heard any the least inkling or glimpse of this island. This we found wonderful strange, for that all nations have inter-knowledge one of another."5
They were even a little bit frightened as they heard the authorities affirm: "The end of our foundation is the knowledge of causes and secret motions of things, and the enlarging of the bounds of human empire."6 More surprisingly, power in New Atlantis was less exerted by the King than by a secret society:7 "You shall understand, my dear friends, that amongst the excellent acts of that king one above all hath the pre-eminence. It was the erection and institution of an order or society, which we call Solomon's House, the noblest foundation (…) and the lantern of this kingdom."8
Now who inspired the regulations decided by Solomon's house? Bacon answered: "Moses by a secret cabala ordained the laws of Bensalem, which they now use."9
Even though the island seemed to be Christian, the very sources of Christianity had been strangely modified. In effect, the great book contained "all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, according as you have them (…) and some other books of the New Testament which were not at that time written."10 What were these other books? No one knows. In any case, several people collaborated in Solomon's house. Beside the natives, we found "Hebrews, Persians, and Indians."11
But how could the sect maintain its domination on the population?
The internal power of Solomon's house: deceiving the population
In New Atlantis, political domination rests on deception. To this respect, all senses are targeted. Apparently, television, cinema and artificial imagery are used: "We have (…) perspective-houses, where we make demonstration of all lights and radiations, and of all colours (…) Also all colourations of light, all delusions and deceits of the sight, in figures, magnitudes, motions, colours, all demonstrations of shadows (…) We procure means of seeing objects afar off, as in the heavens, and remote places; and represent things near as afar off, and things afar off as near, making feigned distances. (…) We make artificial rainbows, halos, and circles about light."
Sounds are also manipulated: "We have (…) soundhouses, where we practise and demonstrate all sounds and their generation (…) We have also divers strange and artificial echoes reflecting the voice many times, and as it were tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller, and some deeper. Yea some rendering the voice differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive."
Solomon's house diffuses artificial smells and shapes the tastes: "We have also perfumehouses, wherewith we join also practices of taste (…) we imitate smells, making all smells to breathe out of other mixtures than those that give them. We make divers imitations of taste likewise, so that they will deceive any man's taste."
More interestingly, Salomon's house initiates biomimetic processes: "We imitate also flights of birds: we have some degress of flying in the air: we have ships and boats for going under water."
To manipulate the masses, the sect has houses of deceits of the senses, producing "false apparitions, impostures and illusions and their fallacies."12
The internal strength of Solomon's house – which has superseded the power of the King13 – is thus based on deception. Happy Island? For the manipulators it may be, but certainly not for the population.
What about the other nations of the world, do they find their happiness in the domination of New Atlantis?
The external power of Solomon's house: industrial spying
New Atlantis would be unable to remain geopolitically independent and economically wealthy if its domination were not based on the discreet industrial plundering of the distant Nations, in which its natives operate. In effect, New Atlantis both intends to protect its cultural identity and to ensure simultaneously its economic wealth.14 How does it proceed?
It doesn't send many spies abroad but selects them carefully.15 For the king indeed, the most important thing is to know what is going on abroad: "we maintain a trade, not for gold, silver, or jewels, nor for silks, nor for spices, nor any other commodity of matter, but only for God's first creature, which was light; to have light, I say, of the growth of all parts of the world."16
The intelligence service of New Atlantis is carefully organized as follows: "For the several employments and offices of our fellows, we have twelve that sail into foreign countries under the names of other nations, (for our own we conceal,) who bring us the books and abstracts, and patterns of experiments of all other parts. These we call merchants of light. We have three that collect the experiments, which are in all books. These we call depredators. We have three that collect the experiments of all mechanical arts, and also of liberal sciences, and also of practices, which are not brought into arts. These we call mystery men. We have three that try new experiments, such as themselves think good. These we call pioneers or miners. We have three that draw the experiments of the former four into titles and tables, to give the better light for the drawing of observations and axioms out of them. These we call compilers."17
Not only are the intelligence services divided into specialized departments, they are also structured thanks to an internal hierarchy distinguishing novices from apprentices. All these agents take an oath of secrecy.
It thus appears that the happy island, which has placed the concentration of knowledge into the hands of Solomon's temple affiliates, worships technical achievements to the detriment of men. It is thus no surprise why its natives be scarcely mentioned. On New Atlantis, human beings count in so far as they procure intelligence to Solomon's house. The silent slaves are happy because thus said their masters.

According to Chloé Houston, « Tommaso Campanella's The City of the Sun, written in 1602 but not printed until 1623, and Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, published posthumously in 1627, are classic examples of the isolationist utopia: careful about their borders, secretive in their dealings with the outside world (…)The narrator and his company reach the country of Bensalem after a storm, where that are met by officials who will not allow them to approach beyond a certain distance. These officials, when they board the visitors' ship, carry with them strange fruits to ward off contamination; they allow the company to enter their country, but under strict conditions, and keep them in special quarters ».

15. When the king had forbidden to all his people navigation in any part that was not under his crown, he made nevertheless this ordinance that every twelve years there should be set forth out of this kingdom two ships appointed to several voyages; that in either of these ships there should be a mission of three of the fellows or brethren of Solomon's House, whose errand was only to give us knowledge of the affairs and state of those countries to which they were designed, and especially of the sciences, arts, manufactures, and inventions of all the world; and withal to bring unto us books, instruments, and patterns in every kind.

2018 Releases That I'm Very Excited About
2018 is almost here. It's actually so close that I can smell it. Will it be a better year than 2018? Who knows? Who cares? All I know is that it'll be yet another year where people will be seeking escapism – I know I will.
As such, here's a non-definitive list of things that will come out in 2018 about which I am excited. The keyword here is "non-definitive," as things that pique my interest change all the time. Maybe something that wasn't included in all the "upcoming releases" lists will be announced.
Still, I think these movies and games are going to be pretty exciting. And there is also one thing that I am actually rather anxious and scared about. But you're gonna have to read through to find out. Good? Great!
Annihilation: February 23, 2018
This movie is based on a novel by Jeff VanderMeer of the same name. I've just recently read the book and it was pretty darn good. If I had to give it a genre, it would be "ecological horror/thriller."
In it, a team of four scientist women go on an expedition to a mysterious place called Area X. The names of these characters are a mystery to everyone involved, as they are only called by their specialties: biologist, anthropologist, psychologist, and surveyor.
It's a weird and creepy tale, with some Lovecraftian undertones. The first trailer, revealed in September, is unlike most modern trailers, in that it actually doesn't give a whole lot of the plot away. All we see is the biologist (Natalie Portman) being really intense while responding to some questions about a "thing." She doesn't know what the thing was – or does she?????? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? We only get questions and no answers!
Plus, it's directed by Alex Garland, who also directed Ex Machina, which was an amazing sci-fi thriller.
So yeah, this is very exciting.
The Last of Us Part II: 2018, probably
So this game doesn't actually have a release date yet. If you're wondering why, you might wanna check out Jason Schreier's book on how games are made. But that doesn't take anything away from my excitement.
The Last of Us (Part I, I guess?) was an intense game about a post-zombie apocalypse world and the humans trying to survive in it. It put in the shoes of Joel who lost his daughter during the first days of the apocalypse. Then, we had to travel around protecting a young girl by the name of Ellie.
All in all, I thought The Last of Us was an interesting take on what happens to humans following society's breakdown. It turned out that humans were humans' biggest threat and not the walking dead. And sure, literally every zombie story out there touches upon that, but this game felt a bit more real than others. (I also have never watched The Walking Dead, but that's a discussion for later.)
My point is, I want to know what happened to Joel and Ellie after the game ended. I'll spare you the spoilers, but some really surprising shit happens at the end of the first game. So, I have to know. Just what on Earth is going to happen next?!
Detroit: Become Human: Early 2018, probably
Have I talked about how much I love Quantic Dream's games yet? I probably should.
The first QD game I played was Beyond: Two Souls, which stars Ellen Page as Jodie Holmes. This was my first real experience with movies pretending to be video games and I actually loved the whole experience. Gameplay has always been secondary for me and I am a sucker for a good story. Plus, they had some really cool actors.
So, Detroit: Become Human is where QD goes full sci-fi – and not just that, they're going neo-noir. From what I've read so far, the plot is similar to Blade Runner. There are androids, some of the become sentient, and therefore they have to be killed. Pretty standard in that regard. But based on the studio's track record, I'm pretty excited to see where they will take that premise.
It probably won't be yet another robot game. The first trailer for the game was pretty intense where the player character was trying to negotiate with a rogue android to settle a hostage situation. That kind of stressful situations are what makes these movie-games so exciting.
Avengers: The Infinity War: May 4, 2018
I mean. I guess I kinda have to be excited about this movie, right? It's the biggest Marvel event of the century so far. (And that's not even an exaggeration.) This is what 10 years of Marvel movies have been building up to – the season finale of the world's most drawn-out TV series.
The cultural impact the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had is undeniable. Every other big franchise is now trying to emulate its cinematic universe formula and mostly failing. MCU movies have become the litmus test for superhero movies.
All this is probably because Marvel did it first. While Marvel was building the MCU and planning years and years ahead, DC was riding the wave of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. To be fair, it was a great wave – but once it was over, DC's movies were never able to be quite as good. First, they tried to do the Nolanesque dark-gritty stuff, which didn't really fit Superman. Then, they tried the Marvelesque humorous stuff, which gave us The Suicide Squad – which was bad, except for the Hair and Makeup, I guess.
Anyways, I can't help but be excited for Avengers: Infinity War, because it is going to mark the end of an era. And you just have to experience those things. (Sorta like how people probably must have watched Return of the Jedi thinking it would be the last Star Wars movie. Oh how wrong they were.)
The cast of Solo.
Solo: May 25, 2018
Speaking of Star Wars, let's talk about Solo, the Han Solo movie, which has undergone so many production troubles that it might as well be a video game.
I am so, so, so afraid for this movie. Disney has yet to disappoint with their foray into Star Wars – but dear god…
First of all, what makes Han Solo isn't necessarily him as a character. Yes, he is cool and smug, and can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. But he is ultimately Harrison Ford. How would you feel if Robert Downey Jr. was replaced as Iron Man? Or Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine? In that same way, I am afraid that Aiden Ehrenreich might not have what it takes to take on the reins of the Millennium Falcon.
That being said, the cast is packed with cool people. I mean, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian? That's kinda cool. But again, in the same way Ehrenreich isn't Han, Glover isn't Lando.
Rogue One worked, because it was about new characters that we hadn't met before, so the issue of estrangement wasn't really there. Notwithstanding the fact that some people said that there wasn't enough time to get to know them all. To them I say, just watch the movie 7 more times like I did and Rogue One will become your favorite Star Wars movie as well.
That being said, I am still somewhat excited for Solo, but I am being cautious. We'll see.

Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is a mosquito that can be recognized by white markings on its legs and a marking in the form of a lyre on the upper surface of the thorax. The mosquito is now found in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The average wing length of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes varies greatly.
The adult yellow fever mosquito is a small to medium-sized mosquito, approximately 4 to 7 millimeters. To the unaided eye, adult yellow fever mosquitoes resemble the Asian tiger mosquito with a slight difference in size and thorax patterns. Aedes aegypti adults have white scales on the dorsal (top) surface of the thorax that form the shape of a violin or lyre, while adult albopictus have a white stripe down the middle of the top of the thorax. Each tarsal segment of the hind legs possesses white basal bands, forming what appear to be stripes. The abdomen is generally dark brown to black, but also may possess white scales. Females are larger than males, and can be distinguished by small palps tipped with silver or white scales. Males have plumose antennae, whereas females have sparse short hairs. When viewed under a microscope, male mouthparts are modified for nectar feeding, and female mouthparts are modified for blood feeding.
About three days after feeding on blood, the female lays her eggs inside a container just above the water line. Eggs are laid over a period of several days, are resistant to drying, and can survive for periods of six or more months. When the container is refilled with water, the eggs hatch into larvae. The entire life cycle (i.e., from egg to adult) can occur in as little as 7-8 days. The life span for adult mosquitoes is around three weeks.
This mosquito bites primarily during the day, both indoors and outdoors. They are most active for approximately two hours after sunrise and several hours before sunset, but can bite at night in well-lit areas. Aedes aegypti can bite people without being noticed. This mosquito prefers biting people but it also bites dogs and other domestic animals, mostly mammals.


2017 Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4: Which is Better?
When it comes to buying sport utility vehicles, most people find it difficult to select the best car between Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The two cars look similar to many people, but the truth of the matter is that they are pretty different! Yes, both vehicles are in the compact crossover SUV category, but the Toyota model is sometimes referred to as a mini SUV because of its smaller size.
The 2017 Honda CR-V competes with vehicles such as Chevrolet Captiva, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Mitsubishi Outlander, Volvo XC60 and Volkswagen Tiguan. On the other hand, the 2017 Toyota RAV4 competes with cars like Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue and Acura RDX. Which is better? This article will explain which car is the better option.
The latest CR-V has a roomy interior that can accommodate 7 passengers together with their personal belongings. It provides ample legroom and headspace with its well-spaced seats and taller cabin. The seats are upholstered in smooth leather and are equipped with folding and recline mechanisms. The dashboard has a myriad of driver assistance features that offer maximum convenience. When it comes to the latest RAV4, the car can only accommodate 5 passengers and a limited number of personal belongings. Its seats are covered with fabric (and some leather) and the dashboard lacks some of the most important modern-day driver assistance features.
The new Honda car has a center console that features a 7-inch touchscreen & 2 smaller displays, a Garmin navigation system and an array of digital control buttons. Other technological features include: dual-zone climate control, USB ports and remote start. The car's safety is boosted by sophisticated features such as ABS, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors and lane-keep assist. Concerning the RAV4, the Toyota car has a small 6.0 touchscreen and lacks more displays in the center console. It has less advanced climate control and navigation systems and most of its safety features are the basic ones, such as seat belts and emergency brakes.
The 2017 Honda CR-V uses a 2.4-liter I4 engine, among other powerful powertrains. This engine is rated 190 hp and 210 lb-ft and can accelerate the car from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds and provide a top speed of 135 mph. On the other hand, the 2017 Toyota RAV4 uses 2.0-liter turbo I4 rated 178 hp and 186 lb-ft. With this powertrain, the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds and achieve a top speed of 130 mph.
Now you have it! If you want to confirm the crv vs rav4 reliability, stop by the dealership to test drive the car. The best way to experience the difference between the CR-V and RAV4 is by test driving the two cars. If you have already test driven the Toyota RAV4, it is now time that you test drive the Honda CR-V.
