This latest Little Golden Books, ROBOTS, ROBOTS EVERYWHERE! (Random House Children's Books, $3.99, ages 2-5), by Sue Fliess with illustrations by Bob Staake, should fly off the shelves because, between the flawless rhyme, the playful illustrations and the $3.99 price, it makes a perfect addition to any picture book collection.
Vacuum robots have no plugs.
Robots spin and race and run.
Robots, robots — I want one!
Well I want one, too, especially the vacuuming kind! For a child ready to learn about robots and all the different tasks they perform, Robots, Robots Everywhere! is an ideal introduction. The bonus is getting Fliess's fantastic rhyming text together with Staake's whimsical artwork. So parents, whether you're a Jetson's fan, or a fan of jetpacks, you're going to enjoy sharing this picture book with your kids.
I'm so glad I recently broadened my book review horizons to include titles by Spanish publisher, Cuento de Luz, as I have enjoyed each and every title I've read so far. This publisher's books deliver powerful messages in delightfully subtle ways.
Dorothy: A Different Kind of Friend ($16.95, Cuento de Luz, Ages 5-7) by Roberto Aliaga presents readers with a story about an unidentifiable furry animal girl who befriends a not-so-popular girl in town, named Dorothy. Dorothy is big, clumsy and very different than the others. The bully girls in town all hang out together and tease the protagonist when she hangs out with Dorothy, saying very cruel and hurtful things about her. Will those harsh words be enough to make the protagonist drop Dorothy as a friend? Read the book and you will find out for yourself.
There are so many children's books about being bullied that it is impossible to keep up with all of them. But what sets this book apart is that the characters are unique and the message is delivered in muted tones, leaving the reader with a lot to think about. The illustrations by Mar Blanco are both colorful and adorable, highlighting the uniqueness of the characters. In the end, we must all follow our hearts, no matter what others tell us to do, and Dorothy: A Different Kind of Friend shows us the way.
Last week Debbie Glade reviewed a terrific counting book about primates, so she thought it perfectly fitting to review a very different (but equally as fantastic) counting book this week.
I love it when my dog pulls me toward a puddle so he can splash through it like a toddler. What little kid doesn't love a puddle? There's just something so wholesome about it, don't you think? The Deep, Deep Puddle ($16.99, Dial Books, Ages 3-6) by author and former teacher, Mary Jessie Parker, will enchant even the youngest of readers and set imaginations soaring (or swimming!).
One day, in a big city, it starts to rain and a small puddle forms. It rains and rains and rains and the puddle grows as do the number of items and creatures who fall into it. From taxis and street vendors to cats and dogs, everything seems to disappear in the ever growing puddle, counting from one to twelve things. Then something amazing happens to make the puddle shrink more and more and more. And the counting goes backwards from twelve to one.
What I love about The Deep, Deep Puddle is that it is so absurd, albeit ultra creative, making it a wild adventure to read as the cover clearly shows. The words have unique sounds, so fitting for a young child's book, and the vibrant illustrations by Deborah Zemke couldn't be better. I enjoyed studying each picture for a while, and their adorableness made me smile.
If you'd like to teach your child to learn to count in a fun, fun way, and you love looking at beautiful illustrations, this is the perfect book.
We're excited to be giving away two copies of this marvelous book reviewed by Debbie Glade and perfect for summer!
Enter now by clicking here and you may be one of two lucky winners to receive a copy of IT'S A FIREFLY NIGHT by Dianne Ochiltree. Remember to write FIREFLY in the subject line and please give your name and address in the email. The giveaway ends midnight on June 17, 2013. For full contest rules click here. Good luck!
What child (or adult for that matter) doesn't love fireflies? After all, they are the first sign that summer has truly arrived. It's a Firefly Night ($12.99, Blue Apple Books, Ages 3-6) is a beautiful picture book that celebrates every child's rite of passage into the warmest season of the year.
The concise flowing, rhyming prose by Dianne Ochiltree offers the youngest readers insight into the story of a little girl and her dog who are out in the yard with a jar, chasing, capturing and releasing fireflies back into the air. Just reading the book will make you want to get out into the fresh air with your family. In the back of the book is a spread with factual information about fireflies. Did you know that fireflies are beetles?
What makes this book standout are the vivid collage illustrations by Betsy Snyder. The colors are both deep and brilliant, depicting the most magical night sky you could ever imagine. It's a Firefly Night is a great way to kickoff summer with your kids. Just be prepared to get out in the yard with them chasing those glittery sparklers as soon as they appear.
Four new glossy board books in Picture Window Books' Hello Genius series ($7.99, capstoneyoungreaders.com, ages 2-4) teach positive behavior, good manners and first words in just 20 sturdy, brightly colored and boldly illustrated pages.
Little Dinos Don't Yell, Little Dinos Don't Push, Little Dinos Don't Bite and Little Dinos Don't Hit are all books I would have loved to set out on my coffee table before playgroup when my kids were toddlers and preschoolers. Naturally mine weren't the ones doing the yelling, pushing, biting or hitting, but some other little dinos we knew sure were testing their limits!
Illustrator Adam Record's easily identifiable artwork shows shattered plates on a dining room breakfront so children see an immediate cause and effect. The large fonts and few words per page make it easy for youngsters to follow along and recognize first words. Using family members like sisters, brothers, and grandparents in each story will help to make learning the lessons more realistic and less intimidating.
These affordable books combine humor with important social skills and make learning these everyday life lessons more palatable and colorful for our kids whether they're really getting pushed, bitten, hit or yelled at or just reading about them in books.
Miss Maple's Seeds (Nancy Paulsen Books, $16.99, Ages 3-5), written and illustrated by Eliza Wheeler, is reviewed by Ronna Mandel.
Reading a debut picture book is always exciting especially when it's by a fellow SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) member. Author/illustrator Eliza Wheeler hails from northern Wisconsin, but now calls southern California -L.A. to be precise – her home. With Miss Maple's Seeds she has created a magical story that is pure, positive and totally appealing.
What child won't be excited about wee Miss Maple, a Thumbelina-sized, willowweed hatted character who makes a hollow in a tall maple tree her home? Best of all, the benevolent Miss Maple has made it her mission to collect orphaned seeds "that got lost during the spring planting," with the hopes of nurturing them until they are ready to go off and take root on their own. Wheeler's color palette is warm like the sun needed for the seeds to flourish, and it conveys a tenderness that will resonate with parents as they share the story with their little ones. Perfect for a bedtime story, Miss Maple's Seeds has no real demonstrated conflict, only the inference that Miss Maple must watch over her "guests" and keep them safe because, as she repeats throughout the text, "Take care, my little ones, for the world is big and you are small." Young imaginations will be sparked by the idea of this tiny woman working alongside nature much like they would Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies.

Make Room Powerpuff Girls, The Ultra Violets & Giveaway Are Here!
The Ultra Violets by Sophie Bell (Penguin Books for Young Readers, $12.99, Ages 8 and up) is reviewed today by Hilary Taber of Flintridge Bookstore (we know it's not a Friday, but we're featuring Flintridge Bookstore anyway!) Also, for a chance to win a copy the book along with an Ultra Violets T-shirt, click here. For entry rules, click here. Giveaway ends midnight PST on Friday, May 10, 2013. Remember to write Ultra Violets in subject and good luck!
Girl superhero books are few and far between. Yes, of course, we all will always have Wonder Woman. However, I was hard pressed to think of a book whose main character was a little girl who was a superhero. Now, that problem is solved thanks to Sophie Bell's book The Ultra Violets. Reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls, this book will provide a delightful free read. Printed in violet ink (a very nice touch) the book chronicles the adventures and exploits of Iris, Cheri, Scarlet, and Opaline. These girls have been best friends since forever (as one of the characters might say), but one slumber party changed their collective lives forever. A science experiment went awry, and some mysterious purple goo showered on all four girls! This changed them into the superhero team known as The Ultra Violets.
Each girl has a very separate personality, and distinct superpower. One of them even ends up with violet hair! As the cover's tag line says, "The Fuchsia Is Now!" and clearly now is the time for some of the fans of The Dork Diaries or Diary of a Wimpy Kid to have a superhero adventure. The, "Hey, you! Yeah! I'm talkin' to you kid!" style of narration, tongue-in-cheek puns, and sassitude will appeal to readers who like a more informal read. In The Ultra Violets there is imagination, there are acts of courage, purple, and glitter references galore, which is pretty much the point of this book. Like the first bite of grape bubblegum, this book is a sweet treat, and would make a great summer read. It's like a vacation to a world beyond the usual and ordinary. Look for the next book in the series Ultra Violets #2: Power to the Purple! in early August, 2013.
Find THE ULTRA VIOLETS computer game on www.missoandfriends.com.
Please visit the Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse today to pick up your copy of this book, buy gifts, enjoy their extensive selection of other great reads and relax over a great cup of coffee. Also visit the website at www.flintridgebooks.com to keep up-to-date with story times, author events and other exciting special events. And when you stop by, keep a lookout for Hilary peeking out from behind a novel.
Dog Loves Drawing by author/illustrator Louise Yates ($16.99, Knopf Books for Young Readers, Ages 4 and up) is a most imaginative book. It is a story about Dog who loves reading books so much he opens his own book store. One day his aunt sends him a blank book, which he finds to be refreshingly different than the books he's used to reading. This one is a blank book – a sketch book with no words and no pictures. So Dog sharpens his pencil and gathers his brushes and draws a stickman. Miraculously that stickman comes to life and together, with one drawing after another, they doodle their way into a glorious imaginative adventure.
I have no doubt that Dog Loves Drawing will stir up creativity in your child in a most clever and original manner. Dog teaches us that we are limited only by our own imaginations. What's better than a dog who loves to read and owns a book store? The darling drawings are made to look like those a child might make, but only more advanced. And I love the fact that Dog writes his aunt a thank you note for the sketch book she gave him. I'm a major advocate of writing thank you notes!
Before Dog Loves Drawing was written, Yates penned Dog Loves Books. Both of these titles would be a lovely addition to any child's library. Consider making a holiday gift package with a set of colored pencils and a sketch book for the child in your life.

"Ave Maria" – Red Hot + Bach – The Process

Red Hot + Bach: http://www.redhot.org/news/red-hot-bach-releases-june-17th/
J.S. Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major…
All I heard was luscious and articulate perfection.
Recording the Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria" with King Britt brought me back in time to my childhood piano lessons, and my very first encounter with Bach's original prelude. My teacher introduced it to me, and I listened with the fresh, virgin ears of a child; not expecting "Bach," "baroque music," or any of the connotations that might be anticipated by a more seasoned student, but relishing each note and harmony on a purely musical basis. All I heard was luscious and articulate musical perfection. I was moved to sing…
At home, my parents played for me a recording of a soprano singing the gorgeous vocal solo composed by Charles Gounod, which he had superimposed above Bach's original prelude and to which he later assigned the Latin text "Ave Maria". Later that year, I played the prelude in my first piano recital. And then…I spontaneously played it again, singing the Gounod melody as a vocalise. I hadn't planned to, and I didn't know if my strict Russian teacher would approve, but I wasn't concerned, mostly because I was intoxicated by the piece having just played it, and, well…I was eight…and I didn't really care.
Two years ago, I started working with producer King Britt as part of Fhloston Paradigm, both in live performance and for the upcoming album The Phoenix. When he asked if I wanted to be a part of the Red Hot + Bach project, I couldn't believe how the Bach prelude and Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria" had come back to me now in such an unexpected and beautiful way.
As King and I recorded the Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria," I approached it with respect for the specific styling of a more classical interpretation, and at the same time I was open to the voice called forth by the sonic palette and polyrhythms of the track. King encouraged me to sing harmonies over the main vocal line, and I began to feel the piece in its jazzy, sensual realm…enveloped by the sounds of analog synthesizers and their rhythmic permutations. (It's nothing new that Bach's music translates seamlessly across genres spanning centuries—this album as a case in point.)
The vocal line of Gounod's "Ave Maria" actually came from an improvisation that he had played over the Bach prelude (which had been written 130 years earlier!). Gounod's fiancé's father overheard the improvisation and insisted on writing the melody down in musical notation so it would not be lost and forgotten. Knowing that this beautiful melody was birthed from improvisation, I followed King's encouragement to improvise. My voice and vocal styling followed suit.
I'm so honored to have been a part of this project, alongside so many colleagues for whom I hold the deepest respect. This project, by design, will raise money and awareness to fight AIDS around the world. And, although they since have passed away, I smile to know how thrilled and fascinated my parents would have been to witness the evolution of that tiny seed of inspiration that they planted so many moons ago.

Now I don't want to jinx anything... So I won't go into too much detail at this moment in time, but I will say that the move Leo and I have been preparing for over the last couple of months, it may be closer than I imagined. In fact it might be so much closer in fact that I might have been found smiling from ear to ear and trying to resist the urge to jump up and down on the spot!
Over the last couple of months I really have been keeping myself busy with everything that we are going to need, even just freshening up the things that we already had. One of these items is the duvet I have for my rather luxurious bed. I have had the bed a good few years now, and treated myself to a memory foam mattress at the same time, it is seriously one of the comfiest beds I have slept in, so when I go away I often long for my bed because all of the other's don't compare in the slightest.
The only aspect that let my bed down was the duvet and the duvet cover.
This is now a thing of the past, and recent weeks has seen my bed get a complete and utter make over in preparation for the move.
The new duvet in the form of the Fogarty Wool Duvet has somewhat changed my life, I have to admit that when I first un-packed the duvet from the box, I was concerned that it would keep me too warm throughout the night. It's a very heavy duvet and you can feel just how luxurious it is before you have even got the duvet linen on, and I was really pleased to discover on that very first night that this duvet was absolute perfection.
The duvet is filled with New Zealand Wool and wrapped up in a cotton cover. If you like thick duvets (just like you find in a really nice hotel) then the Fogarty is for you. I have it in the King Size and it fits absolutely beautifully in the new duvet set I had imported from America. I had a very specific idea in mind and knew exactly what I wanted, I made it my mission to get my hands on a Black and White Chevron Duvet Set. If like me you have tried to get your hands on one within the UK, you will know first hand that they are a rarity.
In the end I managed to find my one on eBay, but it meant paying a little more to have it shipped to me here in England, but do you know what? It was absolutely 100% worth it. The Chevron Duvet set just completes my new duvet and when I get into bed each night, it feels absolutely incredible.
The Fogarty Wool Duvet regulates temperature which means you can FORGET all about the togs. One duvet that regulates your body temperature through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. This is what I was skeptical about in that first instance, but after using this duvet for the last few weeks, I have been so impressed and I couldn't imagine reverting back to my old thin summer duvet that used to get all muddled up inside the duvet cover.
I have always loved snuggly duvets, duvets that you can get down under and feel the weight on top of you. Duvets that you can pull and wrap around your leg. I want this feeling all year round regardless of whether it's the middle of Winter or right in the heat of Summer. The beautiful thing about the Fogarty Wool Duvet is that you CAN do all of those things without getting all hot and sweaty, you can still have a thick luxurious duvet regardless of the weather.
Another great aspect for me is that I can actually stick the entire duvet in the washing machine. Having Leo means that he often sneaks into my bed, and there have been instances where he has decided to throw up or accidentally wet the bed (sickness was the death of my old duvet in the end...) and it's fantastic that I can now just stick it in the wash and have it come back out all fresh again.
I may still have to look into a mattress protector though if Leo insists on sneaking into my bed in the middle of the night (Ahh the joy's of parenthood).
The Fogarty Wool Duvet can be purchased from Dunelm.
Now everything is coming together, I can really visualize how our new home is going to look. I have excited butterflies tinged with a few little nerves, but I will keep thinking positively, because it is positive thinking that has gotten me this far, and it is only a while now until we start a whole new chapter of our lives.

Competitive Complimenting: Off JFL Presents Boast Rattle
By Samantha Gold Jul 27, 2017
As someone who loves bitingly brutal comedy, I was not sure what to expect when I attended Off JFL's Boast Rattle. Unlike its more well-known counterpart – the roast battle – in which comedians take turns insulting each other, a boast rattle is in essence a compliment contest. It's a new concept, and it's one that's sure to take off if last night's performance is any indication.
I thought only insults could be funny…
…That is until I saw what last night's team of talented comedians could do with compliments.
I've covered three shows so far, and this one had me laughing the hardest.
Run by American comedian Kyle Ayers, it consists of himself as host, a sound effects guy – comedian Dave Thomason, comedian Chris Laker as judge, and three pairs of talented comedians trying to outdo each other by complimenting their opponent.
At the end of each round, Ayers and Laker give their input, after which the audience votes as who moves on to the finals.
The show was broken into two rounds, one initial boast rattle, followed by a final in which an audience volunteer was chosen, asked a few questions, and the comedians used their answers to come up with the best compliment for them.
Kyle Ayers made an excellent host.
His standup style is a charming mix of awkward self-deprecation and biting commentary.
In his opening bit, he went over the rules of the competition, explaining that the audience volunteer for the final had to be someone having a rough time. He explained that in the case where two people offered to go up on stage, the more deserving would be complimented by the finalists, using as an example a show where it was between a guy who claimed he was tired and a woman who works in a pediatric burn ward. He rightfully pointed out that if it's general fatigue versus burned babies, it was kind of a no brainer.
Ayers apparently begged our Prime Minister to attend the boast rattle, and after having fellow comedian read Justin Trudeau's official not-so-polite reply in French, he demonstrated a boast rattle by complimenting a printed photo of the man.
His best compliment?
"He's so wonderful I can't wait to see what unqualified sociopath Canada elects as backlash."
This was clearly a jab at his fellow Americans who elected an Orange Racist after the enlightened President Obama. He compared the current president to Game of Thrones' Lannisters because: "What's up with his hair and I think he f*cks his family." It was one of the best jokes of the night.
After a couple of technical difficulties handled with grace, the battle began.
First up was Sasheer Zamata, who has her own OFF JFL show, versus Martin Urbano, a comedian featured in this year's New Faces of Comedy.
The pair were interesting to watch as their styles are so different.
Sasheer Zamata's compliment style was in the form of remarks one thought would end up being filthy, but turned out sweet and clean:
"Martin's from Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas and when they say it, I think they mean… (long pause for everyone to anticipate a penis joke)… Martin's heart,"
Martin Urbano's technique is a little edgier, darker, and more self-deprecating. He managed to make a comparison to an arsonist complimentary – "because her smile lights up a room" and turned a stalking joke into praise. His style reminds me of a cross between Demetri Martin and Emo Phillips, that unassuming guy who makes you laugh before you know it but whose jokes are so dark they're almost offensive, but not quite.
The contrast between them was so stark and their jokes so good they were both moved to the final.
Next up was Danny Jolles vs Ramy Youssef.
These two were especially funny to watch in part because they were so evenly matched. They said from the get-go that they've been friends for years, and the chemistry between them was clear, as was the almost sibling-like rivalry. What was supposed to be a compliments contest ended up being a backhanded compliments contest.
Youssef compared Jolles to a Pixar character, which would have been a nice way of saying he's cute if he hadn't said the one he had in mind was the protagonist in the film Up. For anyone unfamiliar with the film, said hero is a wrinkled, curmudgeonly old man.
Jolles in turn ribbed on Youssef's Muslim heritage, calling him a "suicide charmer". Though their closing compliments were both cringe-worthy, Danny Jolles took the round for somehow making a comparison to Bin Laden complimentary.
Last was Emily Heller versus Ron Funches.
Funches was good, with an excellent remark about how Heller bought him his first dashiki and it didn't feel racist at all…
…But Emily Heller was breathtaking.
She did not make a single bad joke the whole night, and though diminutive in stature and tone, her edgy jokes spoke volumes.
In the final round, which she got to by unanimous audience and judge decision she successfully rattled off a made up list of pornographic titles based on Billy Crystal movies after the audience volunteer – comedian Dulce Sloan – admitted she liked him.
Heller won Boast Rattle and it was well-deserved.
A new concept, Boast Rattle is a treat if you can stay up late enough to catch it.

Women's Rights and the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, religion, color, or national origin in public places, schools, and employment. However, discrimination based on sex was not initially included in the proposed bill, and was only added as an amendment in Title VII in an attempt to prevent its passage.
Congressman Howard Smith (D-VA), Chairman of the Rules Committee and a staunch opponent of civil rights, had let the bill (H.R. 7152) go to the full House only under the threat of a discharge petition. During the floor debate, he offered an amendment that added sex to the four original categories, but only in Title VII (equal employment opportunity). Although Smith had supported the idea of an Equal Rights Amendment for women for nearly 20 years at that point, his amendment to the civil rights bill was likely intended to kill the measure. His plan did not have the desired effect, however, and the bill was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964.
After the bill was passed, the government began work on policies that would enforce the new laws. As a result, Executive Order 11246 was issued on September 24, 1965, to address compliance with civil rights regulations. However, it made no mention of discrimination based on sex.
The omission of women's rights did not go unnoticed. Many women and advocacy groups wrote to President Johnson, expressing the need to expand Executive Order 11246 to include enforcement of discrimination against women. Following are samples of letters sent to President Johnson.
The president of the District of Columbia State Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs called the omission of sex in Executive Order 11246 to the White House's attention several months later, as would other women's advocates.
The National Organization for Women (NOW), formed in October 1966, lost no time in pressing President Johnson to realize the promise of equal employment opportunity for women contained in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. While praising him for his efforts to promote the advancement of women as employees of the Federal government and of Federal contractors through his Executive Order 11246, the new organization's leaders also pointed out the omission of sex in its wording, and expressed disappointment that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) did not seem willing or able to carry out that part of the law's mandate.
Among the emphases in President Johnson's omnibus 1967 Special Message to the Congress on Equal Justice was the need to continue to expand opportunity in the areas covered by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. His remarks about addressing employment discrimination were framed solely in racial terms, however, so the leaders of the National Organization for Women (NOW) took the opportunity to remind him that those concerns applied to sex discrimination as well. They zeroed in again on the omission of sex from Executive Order 11246 and urged him to correct it.
The omission of sex in Executive Order 11246 was finally rectified in Executive Order 11375 on October 13, 1967. In a letter to President Johnson, the leaders of the National Organization for Women (NOW) hailed the correction, but remained unsatisfied with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) performance in making the new order effective. The letter was signed by Kathryn Clarenbach, Betty Friedan, and Caroline Davis, officers of NOW from its inception, as well as Aileen Hernandez, who had announced her resignation from the EEOC over its lack of attention to women's issues a year before Executive Order 11375 was issued.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) also applauded the belated inclusion of women in Executive Order 11375.
Praise for the inclusion of women as beneficiaries of the Federal government's ban on employment discrimination also came from black women's groups such as the National Association of Media Women.
Frankie Freeman had been appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights by President Johnson and expressed her appreciation as president of the black women's service sorority Delta Sigma Theta for the explicit addition of women to those protected from bias in employment.

He is proud to serve his local Richmond, VA community, helping his neighbors achieve their wellness goals and live pain-free.
It all started when he experienced back pain as a teenager playing soccer, basketball, baseball, and running track. He decided to visit a chiropractor about his pain and after just three visits, his pain was gone. Not only this, but he experienced an improvement in his allergy and asthma symptoms, too. He was excited about how quickly his pain disappeared, how it improved other aspects of his health, and how helpful the chiropractor was in helping him understand the source of these problems. After his last visit, he knew what he wanted to do and the rest was history.
Dr. Mulvaney has practiced chiropractic care to help others in similar situations as him. As his patients required more advanced and thorough chiropractic care, he has furthered his education to meet this demand. Now, Dr. Mulvaney specializes in the Webster's Technique to provide expecting mothers proper, safe, and gentle pain relieving techniques for a smoother and safer pregnancy. This technique helps women experience safer, easier births, optimizing health benefits for both mother and baby.
Dr. Mulvaney is also widely known in Richmond for his successful treatments of disc-related injuries with non-surgical spinal decompression. This helps his patients live pain-free without the need for surgery. Being an athlete himself, he also completed post-graduate coursework for issues dealing with the extremities (knees, hips, feet, shoulders). He is still an avid athlete and now enjoys life without pain.
No matter your pain, Dr. Mulvaney is here to help you experience pain relief using safe and gentle techniques to bring you back to wellness so you can live your life the way you want.
Dr. Mulvaney and our team are happy to benefit our community anyway we can.

Once a month, our team visits a local elementary school to read to students. It's also not unusual to see us at local race events or community fundraisers.
By working together, all of us can make the world a better place one person at a time.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare new Multiplayer mode and many more
Home » Blog Full Width » Call of Duty Modern Warfare new Multiplayer mode and many more
by Administrateur | 0 Comments | juillet 24, 2019
Call of duty franchise goes way back and we can say that the franchise laid the foundation to the competitive gaming. With intense 5v5 LAN matches back in early 2000, everyone loved to play the game. Graphics and the guns gave the realistic feeling whenever you are playing the game and you get reeled in to play the game all night. With the scope of improvement, the pro players got a considerable advantage as they learned the critical spots to hold A and B bomb sites, and unveiled crucial wall bang spots which could kill the opponent without giving them a chance. Amidst of all the modern games like Apex legends, PUBG, Fortnite, Call of duty has certainly lost its charm. There is considerably less Call of duty players than any other above-mentioned game. However, there are rumors that Infinity Ward has been trying to revive the Call of duty and the gaming community is excited about it. Memers are already sharing the memes specifically targeting the PUBG and Fortnite that their glory days are now ever and the king will be back. So, with the official statement from the Infinity Ward, we will be hoping to see the first glimpse of the game in late 2019. The game is expected to be released on Oct 25, 2019. Expected platforms will be XOne, PS4, and PC.
More Updates and News:
Infinity Ward has shared the live stream in which we got the first official look of Call of Duty Modern Warfare's multiplayer mode. Deducing from the stream, we are accepting to see a 2 on 2 Gun fight mode. There are some major changes expectations but we, at the moment, are not 100% sure. However, we can guess the updates depending on the expectations of the gamers. According to the social media handle of the call of duty, we are expecting a live stream on twitch in the coming month. Timings will be 10 AM Pacific Time / 1 PM European Time / 6 PM British Summer Time on 1st of August. For the viewers from Australian Eastern timezone, they can catch the live stream on 2nd August at 3 AM. The picture will get cleared up as we will be watching the beta version in action. More gunfights and different modes will be introduced which we never see on classic Call of duty Modern Warfare suite. Live streaming will be done of Twich.tv/callofduty, So, mark the day's guys as we will be seeing some intense fights.
The most interesting feature that everyone was waiting for is the crossover play in Call of duty. Infinity Ward suggested that they are remaking Call of duty 2007 but the story will be completely different. Crossover play feature will help the gamers stay united. The step was initiated to keep the whole Call of duty community on a single platform and everyone can enjoy the game from their favored platform and battle for the ultimate glory. Currently, we are hearing the news that Call of duty will be released for Xone, PS4, and PC. Infinity Ward also announced the huge step in doing away with the Royale pass structure and all the content that will be released after the game will be absolutely free and gamers can avail the chance without having to pay for anything.
We are hopefully getting the news in August about the progression system of the new Modern Warfare. We are expecting the progression system to be even throughout the game. This will mean that you can level up your guns, skins, kill streaks, and Emotes in both single and multiplayer mode. The achievements won't be segregated for both modes and players can enjoy the perks in both modes. The official statement is yet to be released so we are still unsure about the linkage between the single and multiplayer mode. But the hints dropped by the Infinity Ward are they want a one complete game concept and every mode will be linked to each other somehow.
Gunfight Mode:
The gaming community is excited about the Gunfight mode that the Call of duty Modern Warfare is offering. Details are still bleak but we are expecting teams of two players fighting against each other in mini map or zone. It will be a race to 6 matches and the team winning the 6 matches first will be victorious. The guns and other gears are balanced for both teams so we will be seeing even match making and the teams had to rely on skills to topple off the opponent. The battles will surely be full of intense moments and crazy gaming. We are still not sure about the premium pass game plays and extra perks for the gamers who invest in the game.
No Zombie Mode:
A lot of news is still rumors but infinity ward has explicitly quoted that there will be no Zombie mode in Call of duty Modern warfare. The news might be shocking for the new gamers but Modern warfare franchise is famous for its realistic nature of gaming. Zombie mode in call of duty was introduced by black ops franchise. Minkoff said in the recent interview and I quote "we're trying to create an authentic, realistic feeling world. We don't have the flexibility to do something like put zombies in the game". Minkoff also said that they are not willing to compromise the vision of the developers and they want them to target the realistic and authentic nature of the which was the pioneer of Modern Warfare franchise.
So we are crystal clear on cross-platform gaming and no zombie mode in call of duty modern warfare. However, other modes and type of play are still not shared by the developers on any platform. We are hoping to get some exclusive news in the coming month regarding the future of Modern warfare and how much competition does Call of duty will offer to the mighty competitors like PUBG and fortnite.


Rob Ford, as we all know, has been known to smoke some crack cocaine. But that's faaaar from the only problem with his time in office. Even if he were stone cold sober, he would still be a terrible TERRIBLE mayor. He is a man pretty much completely untethered from reality. He makes wildly false claims about even the most basic aspects of his job. He invents make-believe statistics. He spreads misinformation at a breathtaking pace. In one 16-minute speech, Torontoist counted more than 50 "lies, half-truths, and instances of disingenuous spin." That's an average of more than 3 every minute.
And yet the people he allows to interview him have pretty much entirely let him off the hook. While they get caught up on the drug use, they miss the other issues, allowing Ford to repeat his false claims about his policies and "achievements". And it's not just the Jimmy Kimmel types. Even Peter Mansbridge, one of the most respected broadcasters in Canada, totally dropped the ball. Many Torontonians have been anxiously looking forward to the day when Ford would have to answer questions from someone who knew the relevant information and wouldn't let the Mayor off the hook with lazy lies and misleading "facts". And finally — finally! — it happened this morning on CBC Radio. Metro Morning's Matt Galloway had the Mayor in his studio for a 15 minute interview. And while Ford still manages to sneak through a few false facts, it is, hands down, the best interview of Ford we've seen since he took office.
You can watch it on the CBC's website here.

Sudan military calls for new talks: Protest movement
Sudanese demonstrators chant slogans as they march along the street during anti-government protests in Khartoum (Photo: Reuters)
KHARTOUM – Sudan's military rulers have invited protest leaders for a new round of talks on transferring power to a civilian administration, the protest movement said Saturday.
The call came as thousands of demonstrators remain camped outside army headquarters in central Khartoum, vowing to force the generals to cede power just as they forced veteran president Omar al-Bashir from office exactly a month ago.
Talks on the protesters' key demand for a civilian-led body to oversee a four-year transition have been deadlocked for days, with the military insisting on holding a majority in any new ruling body.
"We received a call from the military council to resume negotiations," the Alliance for Freedom and Change said in a statement.
Late last month, the alliance, which brings together protest organisers and opposition and rebel groups, handed the generals its proposals for a civilian-led transition.
But the generals have expressed "many reservations" over the alliance's roadmap,
They have singled out its silence on the constitutional position of Islamic sharia law which was the guiding principle of all legislation under Bashir's rule but is anathema to secular groups like the Sudanese Communist Party and some rebel factions in the alliance.
"We have identified the points of contention with the military council and … decisive talks will revolve around (them) in each meeting," the alliance said in its statement.
"We want to hold the talks quickly and sort out all these points in 72 hours," it said without specifying when the negotiations would resume.

Pandora has a new tool in its belt to fight against Apple Music and Spotify. The music streaming just announced it will purchase Ticketfly, a Ticketmaster-type site, for $450m in cash and stock. Pandora says in a press release that Ticketfly's service will allow Pandora listeners to better find live music events.
It's unclear at this point how deep the Ticketfly integration will go.
Ticketfly currently works with 1,200 venues and event promoters in North America. The service primarily focuses on live music although briefly dabbled in sporting events as well.
This is the latest in Pandora's quest to stay at the top of the music streaming battle. Last month, at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015, Pandora co-founder and chief strategy officer Tim Westergren took the stage with our own Josh Constine to talk about Pandora's unique model in the very competitive music space.
It's likely that Pandora will use this extensive data set to attempt to sell tickets through Ticketfly to events it knows listeners will enjoy.
The acquisition is an exceedingly smart move to equip Pandora for the future, even if it seems expensive. Here's why.
Streaming radio itself isn't very lucrative due to the relatively high royalty rates services like Pandora must pay rights holders. It's an especially tough business if a service relies on ads to make money rather than paid subscriptions. People don't typically enjoy having their music interrupted, which can make them sour towards advertisers.
What is a booming music business is selling concert tickets. Prices have risen and fans keep on buying. With record "collections" going digital, there's little pride in owning albums. Seeing a show live is a premier badge of honor for fans. And mobile devices and social networks make it easy to capture, remember, and show off that experience.
The one type of audio ad that's working well for Pandora lately is promotions selling concert tickets for artists a user was just listening to. Westergren told Constine at Disrupt that tickets it promotes in its ads often sell out instantly, and when it asks for more tickets or a band adds extra shows in a market, those sell out too. Pandora recently sold a whopping 55,000 tickets for the Rolling Stones in 24 hours, and sold 25,000 tickets for indie artist Odesza.
So it makes perfect sense for Pandora to just own the entire ticket business from advertisement to sale. Pandora will get to keep the lucrative convenience fees on the tickets while Ticketfly can avoid paying for promotion by using Pandora's ad inventory.
You could imagine Pandora baking the ticket sale interface right into its app, which is used by many of its 80 million monthly listeners. That's a lot of distribution that could help Ticketfly compete with its age-old rival Ticketmaster. Plus, between Pandora's listening information and its previous acquisition of music insights startup Next Big Sound, Ticketfly will get access to gobs of data on where each artist's listeners are. That could let Ticketfly forge better relationships with artists by helping them sell more tickets through knowledge of where to book shows of what size.
It's such a good idea, it begs the question, might Spotify buy a ticketing service? It has been getting cosy with Songkick. And Songkick's founder Ian Hogarth gets how streaming and ticketing will collide. To understand it for yourself, read his recent TechCrunch guest post on how 1 trillion streams a year could spur $10 billion in ticket sales.


I have extensive experience developing user-facing applications and gamification and have published nine of self-funded apps (and counting), half of which have been featured by Apple. I am highly proficient in both development and design. My experience running a startup in the mobile space has also given me a deep understanding of the challenge of running a startup and bringing apps to the market. Our startup has been profitable since day one with no outside funding. If you have a person you are working with or an existing code base but do not know if they are good, I can help you figure out. If you have an idea, but do not know if and how you should proceed, I can help answer and give you a good roadmap that will save you both time and money.
Why are so many people under the impression that adobe Air can't be used to develop iOS apps for the App Store?
Because at one point Apple started banning all use of virtual machines and external runtime, including Air and it has gotten a lot of publicity. Since then they have reverted their policy but a lot of people who didn't plan to use Air in the first place continued to hold on to the old info. One of our my apps uses Air so I have been following this very closely.
Are company's like Disney wrong to use flash?
Daniel is right in that Flash content won't work directly on your iPad's Safari, but Flash contents can actually be turned into iPhone and iPad apps (and even Android) very easily and it's a fine tool for building cross platform 2D game contents. Apple has long lifted the ban on cross platform tools and external runtime. We have published two apps using Flash and they work great.
Boon is sharp and an amazingly quick study. A star engineer who quickly becomes a pillar of your team.
Boon is a perfect breed of high intellect and healthy lifestyle. He is the true definition of a Flash Developer. Living in Hollywood, CA, I've seen plenty of Actionscript Developers come and go, but very few carry the skills to develop in a timely fashion the way Boon delivers OOP Class models. It was a pleasure working with you, Boon, and I hope to work again in the near future.
There is no question that Boon's dedication was what led to our successful and on-time launch of iHeartAuto for iOS. He keeps true to his word in keeping commitments, and his ability as a Software Ninja was critical in handing such a variety of tasks and responsibilities.
Boon is a logical thinker with a sense of humor who GSD.
He was instrumental in a re-write for iHeartRadio for iPad that was featured in Apple's app store. App hit #1 in free music and #8 overall free iPad app.
Nice job, Boon. You rock!
Boon is good analyzer. His thinking is more advanced in product development, requirement keeps changing, he knows that well so his design output for a product is pretty flexible and reusable to fit upcoming new requirements. Due to his in-depth knowledge of iOS he is one of the best architects I have worked with, also good in managing resources and client interaction. To conclude, I have learned and enjoyed working with him.
P.S I see Boon as hard working and fun loving.
I worked with Boon on two mobile projects. Boon is that kind of developer that designers always want to work with. First, he is definitely good at what he do (development.) He paid attention to details; He understood design and usability and gave me a lot of good suggestions on both UI and Usability. Furthermore, he is not just a developer; He is a good manager and dealt with client relationship so well. I have to say it was a great experience working with him and I would definitely want to work with him again.
Boon is one of the most hard working professionals I've worked with. He can juggle multiple projects with ease. It is no accident that he possesses a wide range of development and design skills. He is also fun to be around with, we have had great times working on projects together, I look forward to working with Boon again.
Boon Chew is an excellent person to work with. He is very dedicated and often went the extra mile to ensure projects were completed on time. I happily recommend Boon to anyone wishing to hire him.
Boon, and I both started at Arc at the same time, and he was very renowned in Flash, and I knew very little of it. I had to work directly with him on 2 projects. He helped show me the way in Flash, working closely with me, and making sure I was comfortable in it. His expertise in Flash is above and beyond. Aside from his work skills, he truly is a very funny person. Which makes it all the more joy to work with him. He has the personality of a curious cat and the heart of a lion! It was an honor working with Boon, and learning from him. He has been a favorite co-worker and friend to work with, and It will be sad to see him go. Thanks for all the help Boon!


iPhones, iPads and even iPods are amazing little gadgets. You can have thousands of songs at your fingertips. You can make telephone calls and search the web from anywhere and get turn by turn navigation just by asking. But in the hands of a young, inexperienced driver who also has drugs and alcohol in his system, they spell disaster.
Yesterday, a 17-year-old boy was in a car accident while using his iPhone. He had been drinking alcohol during Royal Oak High School's Homecoming celebrations the night before. The following morning, with alcohol still in his system, he smoked some marijuana. Sometime later in the morning, the boy made a horrible decision to get into a car and drive. As he was driving, the boy decided to find some tunes on his iPhone and as he was searching his phone, he pulled out from Phillips Avenue in Clawson and crashed into another car.
A nearby police officer heard the crash and came over to investigate. He smelled alcohol on the boy and the boy allegedly admitted to partying the night before, admitted to smoking that morning and told the officer he was very hung over. Field sobriety tests were administered and the boy was arrested and detained until he sobered up. Officers claim that the boy drank so much that it was still in his system from the night before.
Fortunately, the boy did not kill himself or anyone else. In fact, no one was injured in the crash. He was lucky. Very lucky.

OK: AGIO Technology Adding Over 40 Jobs In Norman
AGIO Technology, a firm specializing in managed IT services for hedge funds, has recently opened its headquarters with plans of adding more than 40 new jobs in 2010. AGIO's headquarters are located at Three Partners Place on the University of Oklahoma Research Campus.
"AGIO is exactly the kind of high-tech corporation that will create high-paying, 21st Century quality jobs in Oklahoma," says Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce Natalie Shirley. "AGIO's decision to open its operational headquarters in Norman is due in part because of the unique private-public partnership formed in Oklahoma to help harness innovation and develop new products and technologies."
AGIO opened its operational headquarters in Norman in January of this year and has also established satellite offices in Connecticut, New York and Hong Kong. With clients like SAC Capital, AGIO has demonstrated its ability to support an array of complex and mission critical technologies that allow hedge fund managers to focus on their core business. The Norman Economic Development Coalition (NEDC) assisted AGIO with sourcing key local talent and securing office space. "Bart McDonough, CEO and founder of AGIO, originally contacted the NEDC to better understand Norman's ability to support a dynamic, growing business," said NEDC Executive Director Don Wood. "After deciding Norman would be the landing spot for AGIO's headquarters, the NEDC began working together with Bart and his management team to coordinate his aggressive start-up plans. We did everything from locating potential office space to helping its staff find housing."
McDonough is a former OU student who most recently served as Managing Director at SAC Capital, one of the nation's leading hedge funds. He saw an opportunity to focus solely on managed IT services specifically designed to handle the dynamic needs of the hedge fund industry.
"By concentrating our focus and leveraging our team's experience in the financial services industry, AGIO provides innovative and strategic technical guidance far superior to the standard IT assistance most managed services companies provide," says McDonough. "AGIO provides a rigorous atmosphere for anyone looking to get a taste of Wall Street. Servicing our level of clientele requires a type of person who is adept at solving problems and applying innovation responsibly. We are hiring in excess of 40 employees this year alone and if anyone is up for the challenge, I want to talk to them."
"We are very excited AGIO decided to start its firm in Norman," said Wood. "Housing the headquarters for a financial services technology firm in Partners Place on the OU Research Campus gives the University the attention it deserves for the dynamic business facilities it offers. In addition, it also provides a great opportunity for the Norman economic community to grow."
In addition to the vast hedge fund industry experience of AGIO's personnel, the firm has also built its reputation on attention to detail and stringent adherence to following methodical and well-formulated processes. This discipline - combined with innovation - sets AGIO apart as an ideal career opportunity for IT experts.

New beginnings are something I'm fond of. The slipping of the old into the new, the comings and goings. I crave these things, whether they're found in a new haircut, a reorganized space, or, as we breathlessly wait for tonight, the start of a completely new year.
Comings and goings, for all their worth, are still bittersweet. You wait expectantly, heart racing, as the new approaches. Yet, you can't help looking over your shoulder at all you're leaving behind. The beauty with the brokenness, joy with the mourning, bitter with the sweet.
As I waited for 2015 to come to a close one year ago, I was mourning. When a year comes to a close, it tends to make you nostalgic. I turned around and remembered all the loss, all the pain, and all the brokenness that year had carried. It hurt.
2016 was a much better year, one full of travel, new opportunities, and connections. Even the best of years still leave room for change and growth though. This is what makes me ecstatic about the approach of a new year, even after such a great one. As wonderful as 2016 was, 2017 still opens a door to move forward.
Reflections tend to be crystal clear, even if the way forward was murky and confusing in the actual moment. 2016 taught me that it's important to have dreams that are so huge they scare you, because God's purpose is fulfilled by things that are almost too big for us to comprehend. It taught me that heartbreak isn't permanent, that loneliness is the propellant of personal growth, and that even when you think you can't handle it, you probably can.
So, bring on 2017. Go do things that scare you. Dream bigger than you've dared before. Set goals and smash them to pieces. Live boldly, love greatly, and follow God relentlessly.
The comings and goings continue.

Take a peek inside the Rockford Casino: A Hard Rock Opening Act
Jeff Kolkey
ROCKFORD — A pair of gleaming gold statues stand at the entrance of the Rockford Casino, A Hard Rock Opening Act ushering visitors onto a roomy gaming floor filled with bright, electronic gaming machines.
The Oscar-like statues are merely a placeholder, holding spots for the imminent arrival of signature Hard Rock memorabilia. With the final Illinois regulatory requirements left to be completed including a test of the machines and systems, no opening date has been announced.
But officials say the temporary casino — expected to operate for about two years while a $310 million casino campus is built nearby on East State Street at the Interstate 90 entrance — will be ready for an early November opening.

Seeing the casino near fruition is a proud moment for Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara who can remember as a school boy seeing newspaper articles about the community's demand for a casino. McNamara praised the work of construction, trades and Hard Rock teams that worked to make the temporary casino possible.
"When you first walk in, you know this absolutely is not a temporary casino — this is really Hard Rock's opening act here in Rockford," McNamara said.
Rockford is the first of six authorized casino locations approved in 2019 by the Illinois General Assembly and Gov. JB Pritzker to reach this point.
Hard Rock officials said it took about 100 days to transform what was once a 37,790-square-foot banquet hall known as Giovanni's Restaurant and Convention Center, 610 N. Bell School Road, into the new home of the Rockford Casino.
Area news media that had been clamoring for a looksee were invited to take a sneak peek behind the doors on Thursday.
Nearly 300 employees have been hired and many are still being vetted and licensed by Illinois Gaming Board officials and trained by Hard Rock.
Restaurant, janitorial and supervisory jobs are still available.
Roughly 635 gaming machines were installed and that number is expected to grow slightly. A giant sparkling chandelier was installed, marking the high-roller area.
Space is reserved for electronic table games to be installed like roulette, blackjack and craps. There will be no live table games at the temporary casino, but there are plans for a sportsbook to launch in 2022.

It will have two restaurants. The Midway Bar, is a planned a sports bar with a full menu and burgers. And the Rock River Bar and Grill will feature upscale casual dining where you can get a steak.
A small version of a "Rock Shop" selling Hard Rock t-shirts and other souvenirs is planned.
The temporary casino will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Rockford Casino President Geno Iafrate said.
Renovations were fast-tracked, Iafrate said, but have so far exceeded expectations.
Iafrate said he is hopeful that visitors are "surprised, delighted and can say 'finally, it's here,'" when they walk through the doors for the first time.
"We are very happy with the outcome," Iafrate said. "We are going from a banquet hall to a casino in about 100 days, which I haven't checked, but might be a record."
