Review: Charterstone: Digital Edition App Review
Will this adaptation of Charterstone leave a lasting legacy or will it be put back on the shelf?
Initially you may look at Charterstone and see a simple worker placement game; a genre I've covered here quite a lot (see Raiders of the North Sea for example) however it's only when you dig a little deeper that you realise Charterstone is a legacy game and so now we're in a totally different ball park.
For those of you who don't know, a legacy game in the physical world is one in which as the game goes on you permanently change the board, the rules, the objectives and the players in a way which is completely unique for each group of people playing. Changes you make in your game will look completely different to changes made in someone else's version of the game. This can be driven by story elements, random chance or player choices and it makes for a fun and fascinating unravelling of a board game.
Charterstone sees you attempting to build up your city (referred to as a charter) by adding buildings, each of which provides you an opportunity to place a worker, pay the cost and gain the associated action. New buildings are unlocked as you play the game and your strategy when building up your charter will evolve as new information and opportunities present themselves. As a legacy game Charterstone plays out over a campaign of 12 games, each of which adds new rules and win conditions as well as bonus points at the start of every one of the 12 games. Your charter remains a constant throughout the campaign so buildings purchased in previous games will be available for you from one game to the next. In addition to your charter, your character is also levelled up by the player providing you with the ability to carry over resources, money or additional items from one game to the next, where normally you are required to discard them. Exactly which you decide to upgrade and which you decide to carry over is each players own preference.
As with any worker placement game, building your engine to maximise your turns is key and Charterstone offers plenty of flexibility to do this. The volume of buildings available is huge and the fact that you will encounter a completely different set of buildings from one campaign to the next or based on which starting character you choose to manage means that Charterstone offers a legacy experience that, while becomes less surprising with each play through, still provides a varied and fun campaign even if you have seen the story before.
Players take it in turns to place a worker on one of the buildings in the game, be it one in their own charter, one in an opponents or one of the common shared buildings; paying the required price be it money, resources or one of their limited resource supply and gain the benefit. The buildings at the start of the game are very much what you'd expect from a worker placement game, convert resources into money, money to resources, build new buildings, complete objectives or move your token down various VP tracks.
You start the game with only 2 workers and retrieving them will cost you a turn and as such smart decision making on where to place your workers is key especially in the early stages of each game. Wonderfully though should you or your opponent place a worker on a space on the board already occupied then the previously placed worker will be returned to that players hand, setting up an interesting game of cat and mouse as you attempt to place your workers in buildings which are both useful to you but also likely to be used by your opponents so you can gain your worker back without having to utilise a turn in order to retrieve them.
A game with continue until an influence track is advanced 25 times via various actions taken throughout a game at which point the winner is decided based on the highest number of VP collected after all of the objectives, bonuses and special rules have been applied. End of game upgrades are decided by players and you're onto the next of your 12 games in the campaign. It's an addictive and satisfying way to play a game and one reason why legacy games have become so popular in recent years.
There you have the very basics of Charterstone, I've been as detailed as I can be without giving away any of the secrets you'll be unlocking as that's for you to find out and part of the magic of a legacy game. The question is, how does a digital version of a legacy game work when you don't have all of those fun physical boxes to open and new stickers to put onto your board and once you've discovered them all are you left with a game you actually want to play again, does the digital edition make a good adaptation?
We'll start with my impressions of the game as a whole as that's the easiest place to start. Charterstone: Digital Edition has the exact look and feel of the physical game, the artstyle is cute and cartoony and is a replica of the original. Iconography is large and clear and keeping track of everything is easy thanks to a well thought out display and the fact nearly everything is expandable via clicking. One challenge the designers had was being able to fit what is not only a large board in the original but all of the additional cards and opponent information that is found in the game. While they have been reasonably successful with this there are some areas which, while fine, could be handled differently to improve the overall experience.
Firstly due to the large map and the even larger artwork for each building, you are not able to get a complete overview of what is going on in the game, what buildings are available to you and this makes it easier to miss what an opponent is building up in their charter as well as disregarding some buildings altogether due to never scrolling to that area of the map. The ability to get an overview at a glance would resolve this issue and give you more of a feeling of a competitive game rather than a solitaire feeling as you focus on your own charter.
Secondly, and far less importantly is keeping track of the progress of your opponents. Each Charterstone campaign features 6 players, be them human or AI and their progress is displayed on the left of the screen in information boxes. The current VP total, number of workers, resources, money are all displayed here and with that information you can make informed decisions about you best move. However due to the size of these boxes the game can only display 3-4 of them at one time meaning I am forever scrolling up and down this list in order to keep tabs on players. It's a minor frustration and not a deal breaker for an otherwise beautiful looking app but worth noting, especially as you will be playing at the very minimum 12 games of Charterstone.
Animations are simple and cute and thankfully fast. Although you always play with 6 players it never feels like you are sitting around waiting forever for a turn and yet can see everything that is going on with your opponents so you don't miss a trick. The game not only highlights moves available to you but gives explanations as to why you aren't able to take certain actions which is a nice addition compared to the normal no without a reason you often find in games.
Charterstone: Digital Edition gives you the option to play a campaign online with up to 6 players, a combination of AI and humans as well as a local campaign so you are never short of an opportunity to play, and it is in these multiplayer campaigns against human opponents where Charterstone really shines. Seeing the diverging paths of each of your friends and how they have set about building their charter makes for some fascinating interplay however spread across 12 games of the campaign this gap between player choices gets far closer, there's rarely a sense that you've strayed too far from the norm.
The AI have various difficulty settings and while are sufficient for you to be able to enjoy a game with them on the hardest level, there's no substitute for human interaction in Charterstone. With that being said, don't be afraid to start a campaign utilising some AI if you can't fill every charter with your friends, the AI will do a fine job of filling in for you.
The longevity of Charterstone is helped greatly by the volume of cards and crates you have to open, so much in fact that you won't get anywhere near opening them up in one campaign and so when you play your next one you'll be seeing a whole new bunch of buildings and treats. One feature which is a great addition is the ability to save a map for play as a single stand alone game. Being able to use your favourite map again and again even once you have finished the campaign means that you can enjoy the challenge of Charterstone without having to commit to an entire campaign.
So how well does Charterstone fair as a board game app? Well it looks great and plays quickly and easily, the options for single player, multiplayer, campaigns and one shot games are great and give you plenty of ways to play the game. It's a great adaptation of the physical version of the game and the legacy aspect works well despite being in a digital form, which was a concern I had before starting the game; opening up crates and being able to read through the cards from not only your crates but every time one is opened gives you a similar feeling as the one you get from the physical game.
My one issue with Charterstone lies not with the app itself but with the game as a whole, and that's that as a legacy game it's not that exciting. The story just doesn't have the same twists and turns as I've come to expect from playing games such as Pandemic Legacy. At no point did I have a wow moment as I opened up a previously unseen crate, or did a rule change massively impact how I was going about my game. It's a fun and light worker placement game which I enjoy and would happily play through again however as a legacy game I found it a little on the uninspiring side.
With all of that being said, would I recommend Charterstone, absolutely! The fact that we're now seeing a legacy game on our mobile devices is fantastic and although I found it less exciting than other legacy games that simply won't be an issue for a lot of people who haven't played others. For a first foray into legacy gaming Charterstone is a perfect app for you. Enjoy building up your city game after game and see if you can unlock all of it's secrets. If you can find 3-5 friends to play with regularly you will walk away happy.

Home BHAGAVAT PURANA CHAPTER TEN SUDAMA: THE LORD KRISHAN'S FRIEND STORY – BHAGAVATA PURANA
SUDAMA: THE LORD KRISHAN'S FRIEND STORY – BHAGAVATA PURANA
Lord Krishna and Sudama story in english
During his stay as a disciple at the hermitage of sage Sandipani, Lord Krishna had a Brahmin friend named Sudama. He was very indifferent in nature with no desires for the material things. After their education, Lord Krishna came to Dwaraka while Sudama, who had no any inclination for accumulating material wealth, got married and began to pass his life with his wife Susheela abject poverty.
One day his wife Susheela said: "O lord, your friend Krishna is the king of Dwaraka. He is very benevolent to Brahmins and his devotees. If you go to see him, he will understand your miseries and grant you a lot of wealth." But Sudama plainly refused saying: "Devi, I have chosen the path of devotion for self upliftment and not for the wealth." Susheela, however, kept of insisting: "All right, don't go for the wealth. But at least you can go to see your old friend. Sudama accepted this proposition, thinking that only the sight of Lord yields supreme benefit to the devotee. But he wanted something as a gift to present to his old friend. At this, his wife tied four handfuls of raw rice in a bundle.
With that humble gift, Sudama set out for Dwaraka. His poverty was at its helm. But he kept on reciting Lord's name all along the way. After walking for some distance, Sudama felt thirsty. He drank water, quenched his thirst and thanked God that He at least does give water to drink. Sudama kept on walking the whole day. In the evening, he kept the bundle of rice under his head as a pillow and slept.
Now it was God's turn to show His gratitude for the devotee. When Sudama awoke in the morning, he found himself right in front of Lord Krishna's palace. At first he could not believe his eyes; but the people told him that he was in Dwaraka and standing right before the lord's palace. Sudama requested the gatekeeper to inform Lord Krishna that his childhood friend Sudama had come. Lord Krishna was sitting in the company of Rukmani when the gatekeeper delivered the message. As soon as Lord Krishna learned about Sudama's arrival, He stood up and ran helter-skelter to welcome his childhood friend. At the gate He cordially embraced Sudama and escorted him into his private chamber and made him sit on the throne.
Krishna and queen Rukmani both washed Sudama's feet one by one. By the mere touch of his friend, Krishna was feeling overjoyed. His eyes filled with tears. He and Sudama were holding each other's hands. Their hearts were beating with the memories of their period as disciples at the hermitage of Sandipani. For long, none of them could uttered a word. At last Sudama said: "O Jagadguru Krishna, I have the fortune of being your friend. What remains for me to do?"
Lord Krishna said: "Brother, have you brought for me something sent by my sister-in-law? I love to accept even the pettiest thing presented with affection."
Shukdev says: 'O Parikshit, at the Lord's words, Sudama felt ashamed and he did not reveal the four handfuls of raw rice that he had brought as gift. With shame, Sudama began to look at the ground. Lord knew everything that his dear friend Sudama had never remembered him with a desire for wealth. This time too he has come at the insistence of his wife.
'Hence, I will give him the wealth that is rare even for the gods…' thought Lord Krishna and snatched the bundle of raw rice and opened it with great respect. He put one handful of it in his mouth. When Lord proceeded to take next handful, queen Rukmani held his hand and prayed: "O Vishvambhar (fosterer of the world) for the prosperity of entire world this one handful is sufficient."
Sudama stayed that night in the palace of Sri Krishna. There he experienced the comfort of Vaikunth (abode of God). Staying there for many days, Sudama at last, took leave of Sri Krishna and set out for his home. Lord did not give Sudama anything apparently nor did Sudama asked for His favour. He was travelling overwhelmed by a divine sense of devotion and felt that Krishna might have not given him wealth lest he should forget Him.
Thus, sunk in myriad kinds of thoughts, Sudama reached his home. But at the place, where his dilapidated hut stood once there was now a divine palace surrounded by verdant gardens. The floors of the palace were embedded with precious gems and stones. Standing at the gate, Sudama felt confused, when his wife Susheela came out with scented water to welcome him. Tears were rolling on her cheeks. With love she greeted Sudama and escorted him inside the palace. Sudama
was still reflecting over the God's grace and praying: "May I have the friendship of lord in every birth, may my affection increase for Lord's feet. I don't want wealth.' Since then, Sudama enjoyed the comforts of the palace as the bounty of Lord bestowed upon him by non other than the Lord Krishna himself. His devotion increased day by day.

Message To Supporters
Wednesday, 23 October 2019, 09:00
by Rangers Football Club
RANGERS takes this opportunity to remind supporters, especially those travelling to Portugal for the Europa League match against Porto, that they have a duty to represent the Club in the best possible way.
There must be no singing of songs, or behaviour which UEFA could deem unacceptable and the Club urges all our fans in Portugal to do everything possible to portray themselves and Rangers in the best possible light. Remember that UEFA has already imposed a sanction on Rangers so we must be vigilant and give them no cause to take further and more serious action against us.
The behaviour of our fans in recent times has been exemplary but it is important to maintain those standards at home and abroad. At all times we must be aware that whatever we do, both inside and outside the stadium today and tomorrow, our behaviour will come under the closest scrutiny.
Having said that, however, this fixture also provides another opportunity for Rangers to be showcased as a modern, all-inclusive Club. Let others fall foul of the authorities – we have seen what happened in Bulgaria just more than a week ago and there is now an investigation into a racist slur against one of our own – while we concentrate on supporting Steven Gerrard and his players in the correct way.
Be loud and be heard and hopefully celebrate a victory with the team at the end of the match but please, keep in mind that UEFA's view of racism is wide ranging, which means singing or behaviour that could bring much more serious repercussions for the Club must be avoided.
In the same way the players are ambassadors for our Club so, too, are we, the supporters. So enjoy Porto, enjoy the game and together let's promote Rangers positively. Let's set higher standards and continue to demonstrate that Rangers is for Everyone, Anyone.

Our Vision & Strategy
Joe Crawford
The Prayer of a Lifetime — Answered!
I have long hoped for an opportunity to be a part of getting the Bible into the hands of a people group that had never had one in their own language. That prayer was finally answered this month. This is how it happened.
We at Amazon Vision Ministries received an invitation by the chief of a Mayorunan tribe deep in the west Amazon Basin to come to their village. This resulted from working sixteen years in the West Basin among the Ribeirinho people and sharing the good things of God's Grace – the gospel, medicine, dental care and more. AVM is a trusted organization and has been open to ministry to the Indigenous.
The invitation came when one of our teams were in the area of the Mayoruna tribes and met the Chief's son. He invited us back to the village to build relationships and teach stories from God's Word. We began to pray for God's direction.
The plans involved creating the right team, making the right preparations, and deciding on strategy. Understanding cultural mores, making practical logistical decisions such as transportation by small float plane into the area, preparing for safety concerns and packing well were all part of the careful planning. All this was done over the span of a year and the team of five from four US states met at the airport in Bogota Colombia. From there the adventure began as we flew into Leticia, Colombia, crossed over into Tabatinga, Brazil, then by boat taxi to Benjamin Constant. It was at this point that we were to be flown into the village two and a half hours into the basin jungle. But God's plans differed from ours.
To our disappointment the news came just a few days before our departure – we would not be allowed into the Mayorunan tribe protected within the indigenous area. We soon discovered there were multiple reasons why not. Trust had been broken by others (foreigners) who had made promises that were not kept, and there were complicated issues with FUNAI, the government agency assigned the responsibility to protect and provide for the indigenous peoples. A meeting was set up for us to attend with the hopes of reversing the news.
The first meeting was not encouraging. We traveled by "fast boat" from Tabatinga to Benjamin Constant to catch another "fast boat" through small tributaries into the interior town of Atalaia do Norte. To our surprise, we were met by a representative of FUNAI. The new acquaintance was to serve as translator and mediator for our meeting with the Mayoruna.
Greetings were given and our appreciation for their willingness to meet with us expressed. Their frustration, suspicion and lack of trust was shared openly and honestly. (This is a story in itself for another time.) It was an insightful three-hour discussion which was translated in three languages, English, Portuguese, and Mayorunan, with leaders representing four groups, FUNAI, the Mayoruna, the Matses and our team. There were multiple issues; our hope of forming a meaningful relationship with the Mayoruna and delivering the Bible translated in their own language, a Bible they had never seen or held, was weighing in the balance and seemed to be fading fast.
We held to this hope – the Chief himself had traveled two days and two nights by canoe to meet with us personally. In addition, his brother and one of his six sons joined him. We had the opportunity to speak face-to-face, offer our regret for the broken promises and confusion that others had left behind and ask which ways we might truly be helpful.
The Chief spoke and made a simple yet life-and-death request – could we provide powdered anti-venom for snake bites that too often take the life of his people. We learned from those sitting among us that it could be purchased in Leticia, Columbia. We promised two vials and made a quiet commitment among ourselves to do everything we could to double the quantity. We made plans to return in three days to continue the conversation and deliver the anti-venom. As the meeting concluded and we headed back, the following reflections lingered: the transparency of our conversation, the willingness to learn from one another and seek to help in ways that would not harm, and finally – their willingness to meet with us again and continue the discussion.
Three days later we made the same river trek back to Atalaia do Norte. We were met by our FUNAI mediator again. This time the Chief brought his wife and three sons along with other leaders. We were hopeful.
I greeted the Chief telling him we had a couple of gifts – the first of which I would ask the leader of our team to give him. He remained seated as she placed 4 vials of anti-venom in his hands. His face lit up and to our surprise he stood and reached out to her with a warm embrace.
I then told him we had five Bibles in his language – the Word of God – the God who loved him and his people so much that He gave his own son to die for their sin and reconcile them to Himself. The mediator who had served as one of our translators interrupted and said with firmness, "We are here to talk about projects, ways you may help the people - put your Bibles away and let's talk business." Preaching the Gospel to the indigenous is illegal unless otherwise requested by the tribal leader. The FUNAI representative was doing his job and enforcing the law. There was nothing we could do but sit with their Bibles on our laps.
We sorted through options of how we might best serve this Mayorunan tribe. It was settled when the Chief spoke and invited the team to his village. The time was set for spring of 2019. They offered to teach us the traditional ways of their culture and their day-to-day life and work. They wanted to build relationships and asked if we would like to assist them in rebuilding their maloca (communal home) and share the Word of God at night around the fire. We agreed and put what was communicated in writing, signed by all parties.
We had been drinking strong, (very strong) sugared coffee. I explained our "toasting" tradition. They soon understood and our toasting turned into a moment of trust, fellowship and celebration!
Then it happened! One of the sons of the Chief stood and said, please give us the Bibles. And to our utter amazement the mediator said, "Can I have one?" Our quick reply, "of course!" They took the Bibles and became enthralled reading God's Word! They would not put them down!
What an amazing moment to see the faces of an indigenous tribe who saw for the first time and held in their hand the Word of God. God had answered my prayer of a lifetime. He had answered the prayer of our team, as well as the prayers of those of you who have prayed for us. He answered in a much greater way than we could have ever imagined. You see, instead of spending our time in one village, we met with leaders that influenced eleven Mayorunan tribes, as well as the Matses and Ticuna people and set up a platform for ministry in the city of Atalaia.
This article hardly does justice to our experience. But the point is clear. Getting the Bible in the language of the people – to the people – is the commission of our Lord and the history of our Christian faith. This was a unique privilege the Lord granted as a part of AVM at work in the basin since 2002.
Yes, it was taxing. The travel was challenging (especially the emergency landing on our trip home), spiritual battles of various sorts, the bugs and bites, the heat and rain, different food items, the language barrier, but isn't the Christian faith about facing our challenges with purpose and faith?
Such mission involvement presses spiritual growth, to love those who are different in so many ways, to move outside of our comfort zone (one of our greatest spiritual battles as western Christians), and to trust the Lord at a deeper level for safety, effectiveness in ministry and with those back home whom we love and miss. As scripture says:
"Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!" – Hebrews 12:1-3 MSG
I want to thank all of you who were a part of this great accomplishment. It took each of us to see the miraculous work of translation and delivery of God's Word to an ancient indigenous people. My heart is deeply grateful.
We were invited back next spring for a unique six-day opportunity in this Mayorunan village. A new set of challenges filled with excitement – "we'd better get on with it".

Fergie's book has done Moyes no favours at all
October 27, 2013, 3:49 pm Updated: December 7, 2015, 7:51 pm
Alex Ferguson's autobiography comes at an awkward time for the new Manchester Utd boss.
I've always thought that Sir Alex Ferguson had impeccable timing.
He seemed to have the knack of knowing when to move a player on, make a substitution or deliver a withering remark that would unsettle the opposition. But I'm really puzzled by his decision to release a new autobiography at this time.
We all know publishers like to release books with an eye on the Christmas market. But, for me, Fergie's book seems to have been released with undue haste.
I can't believe that he needs the cash. He's still involved with Manchester United, and I don't think the book helps a club that hasn't made the best of starts to the season.
I suspect that, privately, Davie Moyes could have done without this. He'll have been worried about the impact the publicity might have on Wayne Rooney. His striker has made a fantastic start to the season and looks in fine physical shape.
I'm not sure, however, that Rooney is as mentally tough as some.
People like Roy Keane and Arsene Wenger are strong characters, who won't lose any sleep over Fergie's remarks. As for Rooney . . .
Steven Gerrard, said Fergie, isn't a top, top player.
I don't agree with that at all. Gerrard has nothing to prove and I believe he's the type who will ignore the sort of barb Fergie levelled at him. But Rooney was forced to come out and speak about the saga at the end of last season when it was claimed he'd put in a transfer request.
During the week, he said he was pleased Fergie had put the record straight by saying he hadn't submitted a request. That's all well and good, but it put the England forward back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Can you imagine how Fergie would have reacted if a former manager had been writing about one of his players when he was in charge?
I've written a couple of books, but waited until my playing career was well past. I had no association with any club, so there was no way I was in danger of unsettling colleagues who'd helped me.
Sir Alex Ferguson's status as the greatest Manchester United manager of all time is set in stone, and he's idolised by the fans. But I wonder if his relationship with the current management and playing squad will ever be the same.
I want Davie Moyes to succeed at Manchester United but I don't think another Scot one who said everyone at the club had to get behind the new boss has done him any favours at at all.

A HISTORY of the Cornish Port of Hayle by John Higgans. For centuries the Hayle estuary proved a safe Harbour for sea going craft. With the number of metal and machine foundaries and merchant traders growing in Hayle so did the port which developed in the estuary to become one of the busiest in Cornwall. From its wharves and quays goods and machinery from Hayle's foundries and the area's mines were exported world wide and along the same wharves and quays shipyards launched and decommissioned ships with proud names.

Once every 5 years, when general elections come round, we're given the opportunity to research the experience of voting. Although voting is not something we're really working on, the recent general elections offered an opportunity impossible for the GDS user research team to resist.
With some help from colleagues in the Home Office, we conducted a small study in the days before, during and after the general election. Our goal was to see if there were opportunities to make the voting experience better.
30 phone interviews with young people who were mostly voting for the first time. We spoke to them the day after the election.
44 participants from a varied demographic participated in a diary study using dScout.
We triangulated the data from these 2 studies with data that our social media team found using Brandwatch.
We were recruiting during Purdah (the pre-election period) and without a budget, both of which were significant constraints. As a result, the participants in our study skew towards being more engaged in the democratic process than we'd expect to be typical. Still, we think many of the findings are widely applicable, although you'd probably unearth a lot more opportunities and insights if you did the same study with less democratically engaged participants.
Young people told us that casting their first vote felt like a rite of passage to adulthood. They felt compelled to vote because of the history of sacrifices made to be able to vote, and how hard-won democracy can be.
Many people talked about the act of voting as feeling historic, and an important moment for them and their participation in society.
Some people interpreted the paper and stubby pencils as signifying the 'tradition' of voting, but many others felt that the experience of voting was quite antiquated.
The general elections are a moment in time where people are more engaged in their community and in the democratic process than they might normally be. This may offer an opportunity.
People are looking for voting to be more of an experience, but the experience often turns out to be a bit of a non-event.
Many people are surprised at how little time it takes to vote. On the one hand, they feel this should be communicated more widely so that more people know that voting is not time consuming and difficult. On the other hand, they sometimes feel 'rushed through' and the importance of the act of voting is lost.
Several people felt confused and intimidated by people wearing rosettes and asking for their polling number. People taking exit polls don't identify themselves, or what they're doing, leading some people to mistake them as polling officials. For some people, this made the voting experience more stressful.
For people who do want to vote, making sure you're registered to vote is not always simple. Most people we spoke to were registered to vote, but they told us about friends and family who were not aware that they needed to register until it was too late.
The need to provide your National Insurance number when registering to vote is more difficult for young people - they don't receive a physical card with their number on it, so it's more difficult to provide that information.
Some people indicated that they weren't sure whether they were successfully registered to vote, or where they were registered. This meant telephone calls to local authorities, which often went unanswered as the election drew closer, and people re-registering just to be sure.
Moving house or having two addresses (eg students) was particularly problematic. This meant that some people delayed registering to vote until the last moment because they weren't sure where they were going to be at election time. Or, sometimes they'd discover that they were enrolled a long distance from their current address.
People use polling cards to confirm they are registered to vote, to know when and where to vote, and to find the polling station. Polling cards were a point of failure for many people, especially as they seemed to arrive at different times or not at all.
They were often misplaced because they'd arrived very early, or caused stress because they arrived very late or not at all. Also, the polling station map on the cards seemed to be unreliable.
Most people we spoke to took the decision as to who they would vote for quite seriously. Most of them struggled to find information that was useful to help them make a decision. Many people told us that they used the online tools that anonymised the policies in the manifestos and then told them who to vote for. They found these tools useful.
People weren't happy to discover new candidates in the polling booth at the moment of voting.
Young people told us that they talked with each other openly about who they were going to vote for and who they did vote for - they're aware of this being more of a taboo for their parent's generation, but feel that talking openly was an important way to help them decide who to vote for.
Young people in particular thought there was a lot that government could be doing to help more people feel more confident and knowledgeable about the process of voting. A lot of people felt they learned about voting in the polling station when it should have been taught at school.
People also thought that the government should be more proactive about messaging people to remind them that the election was coming up and when and where they should plan to vote. Less consumption of TV and newspaper content seemed to mean that it's more possible for young people to not notice there is an election coming up.
A number of people were registered to vote in locations where both the general and local elections were held at the same time. For two main reasons, this often caused confusion.
First: the focus on the general election often meant that people were not aware that the local election was being held and had not considered who to vote for.
Second: there are different methods of voting for each type of election. This caused some confusion and people felt they had to be careful about voting to ensure their vote was valid - some weren't sure that they had in fact voted successfully.
Voting is very local - you can only vote in one location where you live and you vote for local members who represent that area. Many people found this difficult to understand and frustrating.
The requirement to attend a single location to vote is a point of failure for people who intend to vote but aren't able to be in the correct place on the day - they often don't know this sufficiently in advance to arrange for alternative ways of voting or don't know that other methods are available. To some people, this seemed particularly unnecessary and archaic and is often an unexpected discovery for people who are voting in the UK for the first time.
People were often very frustrated that the local representation limited their ability to vote for the party they wished to represent. Most people seemed to think about voting for a party rather than for a particular Member of Parliament - a mental model that's perpetuated in the way the media talks about the election - then they arrive at the polling booth to discover they can't vote for their party of choice. This is a frustrating and disenfranchising experience.
Finally, people who lived in safe seats felt that their votes were much less valuable than those who lived in closely-contested seats.
So, it turns out there are lots of opportunities to make the voting experience better, which will in turn result in more people voting in a more informed way.
You can download the deck for more details. We hope you find it useful.
Just commenting in support of some of the feedback you gathered. Being in the UK during the last election (2010), but usually living in Australia, we found the experience quite bizarre with mid-week voting and a designated polling place. In Australia we have Saturday voting (making it easier for more people to get to a polling place) and the ability to get your name marked off the electoral roll at any polling station within your electorate. You are also able to cast an absent vote at any polling station in the country if you're travelling on polling day and you didn't cast an early vote or register for a postal vote. Many polling stations also use the opportunity for fund-raising BBQs or cake stalls for the local school (common polling places), making the event a bit festive.


The performers vary in age and looks, so there should be something to meet with most people's tastes.
You might as well register straight away, as it costs nothing to join and you don't need your credit card either.
Signing up couldn't be simpler, but you'll need a valid email address.
You're likely to find over a hundred performers online at any given time, so the choice isn't bad at all.

Let me say up front that I'm old and getting crabby and I really don't care what other people think. I do, however, care how they are treated. And I find the "con" job done on consumers who really don't have a problem, a travesty.
I know you'll find web sites all over the internet cautioning home owners on the dangers of carbon monoxide due to a cracked heat exchanger, and the need for immediate action. You'll also find a lot of web sites peddling vitamins that will grow your hair, reduce your weight and give your car extra gas mileage. They have a lot in common.
I put this web site together to try and correct one of the biggest fallacies concerning gas-fired, warm-air furnaces. That fallacy is that a small hole or crack in the heat exchanger poses such an eminent threat to safety that the service contractor or gas utility will red-tag and shut down the unit – regardless of circumstances.
The fact that the furnace gets tagged is not the issue. The fact that they will shut it down in the middle of winter and leave families without heat is the issue. In many cases they force a replacement system on a home owner who is not prepared (and in many cases, cannot afford) to purchase a new furnace or system.
The stated concern is that the crack or hole will allow carbon monoxide to enter the living space of your home. This is totally wrong. For equipment made in the last twenty years, it is physically impossible for gasses on the inside of a heat exchanger to pass through a small hole or crack and get into the blower's indoor air stream. Even if the crack widened to twice its size during operation, it still won't happen.
Don't forget that the same gas (natural or LP) that powers your furnace is also used in your gas stove and oven. So, it is not the gas by itself that causes problems.
A small hole or two or three inch long crack does NOT present an immediate, real, hazard. It normally will not affect operation (depending on location) and will probably take a service technician a few minutes to even locate. That crack or hole may have been in the unit for years without causing any trouble.
For some reason, the industry, in general, has subscribed to the theory that a small crack or hole is a life threatening circumstance requiring immediate action. Very few technicians actually check the furnace to see if it even emits elevated levels of carbon monoxide. In fact, many of them don't even know what the acceptable levels are.
So, because many technicians succumb to the boogie-man theory of diagnosis, the consumer gets the short end of the stick. The technician sees a crack or an actual hole in a heat exchanger and fear sets in. They immediately start repeating what they heard other guys say about the problem of carbon monoxide and how dangerous it is going to be for the occupants.
Somebody told them that if the heat exchanger is cracked, that it will now automatically produce carbon monoxide. That information is incorrect. It has been wrong since the days of sectionalized heat exchangers, modern duct work and automatic blowers.
But, this is such a far-reaching and prevalent issue that it is even written into national building codes, local ordinances and utility provider operating procedures. In other words … it has become "law".
Unfortunately, with the emphasis on heat exchangers, the other areas that affect carbon monoxide and safety are being ignored.
There's no question that a cracked heat exchanger should be replaced. The issue becomes, exactly how urgent is it? Is it so dangerous that a family should be forced out in the cold, to spend money they may not have, and do it without being able to get competitive bids?


Thousands of people gathered in Chile's capital on Saturday night to watch as President Sebastian Piñera, the National Council for Arts and Culture and an assembly of accomplished musicians launched a new home for the arts in the city.
The opening ceremony for the Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral drew crowds of onlookers with music, speeches and a massive light show highlighting the arts center, its place in Chile and its namesake, writer Gabriela Mistral. The new building, a long, low prism shielded by an exoskeleton of elegantly perforated oxidized metal, occupies a massive block along Alameda, the central artery for east-west bound traffic through Central Santiago.
For Saturday's event a 1.5km section of Alameda from Metro Santa Lucía to Metro Baquedano was closed to traffic and packed with Santiaguinos of all ages who came to celebrate one of the first major events in Chile's bicentennial celebrations. A stage installed in one of the building's large open spaces hosted performances from the University of Concepción Symphony Orchestra joined by singers Claudia Acuña and Manuel Garcia, as well as the choruses of the University of Santiago and Andrés Bello University.
Following an opening performance of the National Hymn, the assembled musicians performed orchestral versions of songs by Violeta Parra, considered by some to be the founder of Chilean popular music, and Victor Jara, the songwriter and theater director who was one of the many artists murdered in the early days of the Pinochet's reign. These songs, well known to nearly all present, were sung by performers and audience alike with deep emotional intensity, as devotional hymns to liberation from past years of oppression. The inauguration of the new cultural center, replacing a building long associated with the dictatorial regime, is a striking example of Chile's astonishingly rapid rise in the last twenty years from a nation crushed under a ruthless regime, to one of the most culturally and economically developed nations in the Americas.
Musical performances were followed by an spectacular show of images and words projected onto the side of the building facing Alameda. Playing upon the broad surfaces of the center's geometric façade, the dynamic, moving images represented cross-sections of the building's history and of Chile's geography and culture.
At the ceremony's end, the thousands of audience members dispersed toward the nearby metro stops, crowding onto the trains that would take them to the corners of Santiago's urban sprawl. The Centro Gabriela Mistral begin its public life by bringing together living artists to perform the music of beloved figures from the past in celebration of Chile's artistic future. Most importantly, it asserted its presence as an open space for Chileans to enjoy their artistic heritage in the heart of Santiago.

$2.40 Moon Landing, 1989
A $2.40 Priority Mail stamp honoring the 20th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing was issued July 20, 1989 in Washington, DC. The dedication ceremony was held in conjunction with gala anniversary celebrations at the National Air and Space Museum.
The stamp, which features two astronauts planting the Stars and Stripes on the lunar surface, enjoyed a legacy of its own. The stamp's designer, Christopher Calle, of Ridgefield, CT, was the son of Paul Calle, the veteran illustrator who produced the first Moon Landing tribute, a 10-cent airmail stamp issued September 9, 1969. It became one of the most popular and recognizable postage stamps ever issued.
Like the memorable work his father created for the 1969 stamp, Christopher Calle's original mixed media design was based on NASA photographs of astronauts practicing various maneuvers before the actual flight.
The typographer was Bradbury Thompson, Design Coordinator, Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee. Engravers were Dennis Brown (lettering), and Kenneth Kipperman (vignette).
The stamp was printed in the offset/intaglio process at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and was issued in panes of 20.
Reference: Postal Bulletin (July 6, 1989).
4-cent Project Mercury Friendship 7 Capsule, 1962
The Post Office Department signaled the first orbital flight of a United States astronaut on February 20, 1962, with the issuance of the 4-cent Project Mercury commemorative stamp, placed on sale throughout the country at the exact hour Colonel John Glenn's historic flight officially ended
The stamp features an image of the Mercury "Friendship 7" capsule circling the earth. The spacecraft is now housed at the National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, and issued in sheets of fifty. The color of the stamp is blue and yellow on white paper. The initial printing order of 100 million stamps was later increased to 200 million.
Reference: Postal Bulletin (March 1, 1962).
14-cent Chief Hollow Horn Bear, 1923
A figure identified simply as 'American Indian' appears on the 14-cent stamp—the first 14-cent stamp ever issued in the United States. Clair Aubrey Huston designed the stamp, which was inspired by De Lancey Gill's photograph of Hollow Horn Bear (1850-1913), a Brule Sioux. Gill took the photograph in March 1905 when Hollow Horn Bear was in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt. The Smithsonian Institution now owns the photo. Louis Schofield engraved the die for the vignette. The frame was engraved by Frank Lamasure, Edward M. Hall, and Joachim C. Benzing.
The American Indian stamp, initially printed on the flat plate press, was placed on sale on May 1, 1923, both in Washington, D.C., and Muskogee, Oklahoma. It was subsequently printed on the Stickney rotary press.

20-cent Hand to Hand Special Delivery, 1954
The 1954 20-cent Hand-to-Hand stamp used the striking image of the special delivery carrier hand-delivering a letter to a customer. The design was used again in 1957 on the 30-cent denomination stamp.
There is uniqueness to this special delivery stamp that has bestowed upon it a modicum of fame. The Hand-to-Hand special delivery issue was the first and only U.S. stamp to feature itself in its design. The second cancelled stamp featured on the envelope is the 3-cent Statue of Liberty, which is part of the Liberty Issue released a few months earlier. The address on the envelope is "1954 Liberty St."

Q: How to calculate inside React states? I am currently making a loan calculator app with React and I want to calculate monthly interest depending on the left amount to pay back.
The Interest column is displaying each month the interest from the total principal remaining at the end of that month, depending on the interest rate. For example, if the user selects the loan amount of £10,000 with a duration of 4 months and an interest rate of 3%.
The Principal column is displaying the total requested loan amount divided equally over the number of selected months (in this case, £10,000 / 4 = £2,500).
1st month: £10000 * 3% = £300
2nd month: £7500 (£10000 - £2500 repaid on Month 1) * 3% = £225
3rd month: £5000 * 3% = £150
4th month: £2500 * 3% = £75
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import "./App.css";

function App() {
  const [loan, setLoan] = useState(10000);
  const [duration, setDuration] = useState(1);
  const [interest, setInterest] = useState(0);
  const [dates, setDates] = useState([]);

  const getInterest = () => {
    let amountRepaid = loan - getPrincipal();
    let interestedAmount = (amountRepaid * interest) / 100;
    return Math.round((interestedAmount + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100;
  };

  const getPrincipal = () => {
    let dividedAmount = loan / duration;
    return Math.round((dividedAmount + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100;
  };

  const getTotalRepayment = () => {
    return Math.round((getInterest() + getPrincipal() + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100;
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    let datesArray = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < duration; i++) {
      let date = new Date();
      date = new Date(date.setMonth(date.getMonth() + 1 + i));
      datesArray.push(date.getDate() + "/" + (date.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + date.getFullYear());

Two suicide bombers blow themselves up during anti-terror ops in Turkish capital
Two suicide bombers blew themselves up during anti-terror operations in the Turkish capital Ankara early Saturday, said a local news agency.
The terrorists were reportedly planning a car-bomb attack in Haymana, a southern district in the city. They refused to surrender and triggered the bomb after anti-terror police told them to lay down their arms, said Dogan News Agency.The local agency did not say if casualties were involved in the bombing.
The terrorists were most likely from the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party(PKK), said Ercan Topaca, a local governor at the explosion spot in Haymana, adding that the identity of the female bomber has been confirmed and the investigation remains on going.
On Oct. 7, police in the city of Aksaray in the Central Anatolian region of Turkey detained a PKK militant as the suspect of the Oct. 6 motorcycle bomb attack in Istanbul, said the state-run Anadolu news agency. The attack took place near a police station in the Yenibosna neighborhood of Istanbul in the afternoon, leaving 10 civilians wounded.
Local anti-terror police identified the suspect on the run via security footage, and concluded that he had left the city in a civilian car to join PKK camps in Syria and Iraq. The police have informed security units across the country to apprehend the suspect. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union.

When multinational firms expand their operations in tax havens, do they divert activity from non-havens? Much of the debate on tax competition presumes that the answer to this question is yes. This paper offers a model for examining the relationship between activity in havens and non-havens, and discusses the implications of recent evidence in light of that model. Properly interpreted, the evidence suggests that tax haven activity enhances activity in nearby non-havens.

What is Bignoniaceae?
Bignoniaceae is a horticultural family consisting of well over 700 species. The family is made up of a variety of trees — such as the calabash and jacaranda — and flowering plants and shrubs — such as the tecomeria capensis; macfadyena unguis-cati, or cat's claw vine; and the pandorea jasminoides, or bower vine, found in New South Wales, Australia. Less common members of the family include herbaceous plants and root-bound woody vines known as lianas.
A striking feature of Bignoniaceae is the assortment of colorful, showy flowers produced by members of the family. Flowers range in size from very large singular and tubular blossoms to small, multi-stemmed blossoms with delicate petals. With their flowers of various sizes and colors, plants in this family are often grown as ornamentals.

Many uses have been found for the flowers, plants and trees in this family. Some are featured in ornamental landscaping or in decorative gardens, while others serve as natural remedies for specific health issues. Larger tree varieties within the Bignoniaceae family supply timber for cabinet making, veneers and other construction-related projects.
Members of the Bignoniaceae family are found throughout the world. Primarily, they grow within sub-tropical or tropical environments in North and South America, India, China, Australia and the southern hemisphere of Africa. In addition to their geographic diversity, individual family members have their own distinctive characteristics. These may include having multiple whorled leaves per stem, or having the ability to produce fruit. The means of pollination of these species also varies, and can occur via birds, bats or insects.
The Tabebuia donnell-smithii — also known as the primavera or gold tree — is found in Mexico and Central America. The Caribbean trumpet tree and the Podranea ricasoliana, or pink trumpet vine, are found in South Africa. The Kigelia Africana, or sausage tree, is found in West Africa and achieves pollination via bats. This tree produces both flowers and fruit, and the fruit is used for medicinal purposes.
Other examples from the Bignoniaceae family are the Yellow Elder and the Jacaranda mimosifolia trees found in North America. In Hawaii, the Crescentia cujete, or calabash tree, produces flowers and large elongated fruit that are dried and used in traditional hula dances. Like the Kigelia Africana, the calabash tree is also pollinated by bats.

Often our marriages and intimate relationships are only as happy, healthy, and content as we are. They have many lessions to teach and give us an opportunity to learn about ourselves. If we walk away, the lessons are likely to show up in our next relationship until we take time to figure out what is going on.
In my work with couples, I have found there is no single formula that works for everyone. Relationships tend to be as diverse as the people in them. And, I try to tailor my approach to the unique needs and issues of the partners.
Frequent issues include: determining the viability of the partnership, examining how partners erect barriers to intimacy in order to stay emotionally safe, and looking at how partners damage the relationship with unhealthy methods of conflict resolution. My ultimate goal is to help the couple establish a secure bond with friendship and romance built on honest self-disclosure, trust, shared interests, and respect.

Medium Cool Will Not Be Televised
January 20, 2016 · by Evil Genius · in Pithy Reviews. ·
At the end of last year, cinematographer extraordinaire Haskell Wexler died. He left behind a imposing legacy that includes many SB4MC favorites. His eyes twinkled behind films from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to Matewan. Directors including Hal Ashby, Norman Jewison, and Terrence Malick built their masterpieces upon Wexler's clear-eyed vision. The man also, once, back in 1969, wrote and directed his own movie. That film is Medium Cool.
Medium Cool was ahead of its time and intimate to it and outside of it as well. That doesn't make it a captivating watch, but it does make Wexler a visionary and his film a cultural artifact on the level of a smooth black monolith we might one day uncover on the moon.
If you've found this piece of cinema, you might be ready to consider deeper levels of reality. Shall we trigger the alarm?
The film, Medium Cool, follows a foolishly young Robert Forster in the role of Channel 8 cameraman John Cassellis. Cassellis is callous, removed from his surroundings by layers of lens. To demonstrate this, the film starts with him and his sound man coming across a car accident. They film the wreckage, eventually panning down to the driver; a woman, dead it seems, but who's got time to check? Once finished they call it in — mostly so a motorcyclist can be sent to fetch their fresh footage.
If it bleeds it leads
If you've seen Nightcrawler, perhaps bells will be ringing, but those bells will soon doppler out of easy recognition. Cassellis isn't Lou Bloom and he isn't necessarily anyone else either. This film surrounds him but isn't about him; it's about the lens and the layers of brittle glass between us and the world. Wexler intercuts his unfettered drama with documentary footage of national guardsmen quelling fake student riots, with verité-style scenes of conversations interrupted and unexplained, with flashbacks offering only poetic context and meaning. Sound and light travel through Medium Cool like impulses more than like a story.
It's an art film at times. But Wexler's aim isn't hard to suss even if his construction is looping and pleading and less eye-opening than his work can be and has been. Beauty isn't the point; beauty is the distance between us. So too is fear and violence.
Cassellis pushes off connection with the world as he dallies in sexual frivolities and goes about his business. His business being capturing the strife of 1968 Chicago as racial tensions simmer, Bobby Kennedy gets assassinated, and the Democratic National Convention looms. While the world tries to throw this cameraman off focus Wexler zooms in on a poor mother and son (Verna Bloom, whom you might recall as Mrs. Dean Wormer, and Harold Blankenship) whose lives intersect with Cassellis'.
They are the reality from whom our professional peeping tom cannot extricate himself. Wexler, however, does not bother with how or why. Things in Medium Cool just are. There is a comically typical hippie dance party (with music by The Mothers of Invention) and a complexly tense racial altercation both dropped into the film with no concern for developing narrative, only for suggesting context. Both scenes exist as if to say: here is the world, put down your camera and feel it with your own two hands.
Be alive.
Be here now.
And then in some way that makes as little sense as it needs to, our leads find themselves at the real riots that roiled the actual 1968 Democratic National Convention — riots Wexler anticipated and filmed, bringing the rawness of the real world into marriage with the conceits of his created one.
This intermingling is what makes Medium Cool more.
I say this even though Haskell Wexler's bluntly delivered thesis about the alienating power of filmed media never grows clearer or more potently delivered than it does in the film's first few minutes. I say this because what watching Medium Cool to the end provides is the meta experience that filmmakers today still attempt to recreate. He hasn't made a film in which real events provide a basis for story; he's made a film in which real events envelop the story.
It is United 93 filmed on the plane as it goes down. It is The Act of Killing as it happens.
Haskell Wexler punches a hole through the glass, or tries to. Medium Cool's title coming, as it does, from Marshall McLuhan's work which labels television a cool medium. By this McLuhan means that engaging with it requires more effort so as to "fill in the blanks" and connect.
In the end — to spoil it, if you haven't watched it and plan to — our characters drive off in a news wagon only to hear on the radio of their own fatal crash. If you'd attempted even a cursory consideration of where the story was headed, you'd expect this. Since the film starts with Cassellis coldly facing life's end in an auto accident, so it must end — although I expected the victim to be the boy. Wexler isn't as dramatic as I am, though. In his only film, his protagonist must die because there is no growth or learning for men like this. Men removed, who increase our removal, achieve their aims.
It is Cassellis' actions that bleed repercussions onto the boy and those like him. Innocents full of anger.
And then Wexler pans from the doppler-delayed crash to the passersby who witness without stopping and, panning on, to himself. Haskell Wexler behind his camera, filming the watchers and the wreck and then, finally, swiveling his camera to film you, the audience.
Tap the glass. See if you can get his attention. He might still be there.
