May 2015 | Resource Feature
Water Sustainability: A Video Project and More
By Joseph Vincente
Classroom Activities, Technology Integration
I started teaching 10th-grade chemistry at East Side Community High School in New York City eight years ago. I quickly found that my idealistic goals of integrating environmental themes into my curriculum were challenged by the day-to-day demands of teaching. I loved my graduate school class about environmental literacy and was determined to weave those ideas into my chemistry class. But in the first two years, all I ended up with was an unimaginative and easy-to-copy assignment about the unique properties of water. Even though I thought it was an interesting idea, students found the report to be a boring task that required no creativity. It was so easy to "research" online that most student work lacked authenticity.
Pulling from several resources and leveraging the expertise of the literacy and tech expert, the school librarian, I reframed the unit and added a culminating project addressing water sustainability. Now, it is the longest, richest, and most meaningful unit I teach. The water unit has evolved to include a water treatment lab, a wastewater treatment challenge, and a clean water fundraiser, and it culminates in students creating short public service announcement (PSA) videos about a water sustainability issue of their choice.
How the unit goes
During the water treatment lab, students study types of water contamination and methods of treatment. Behind the scenes, I prepare the contaminated water by adding soil (for suspended solids), FeCl3, Mg(NO3)2, and NaCl to contaminate the batch beyond acceptable EPA standards. Students use filtration, acid–base treatment, and distillation to clean their water. Usually I invite our principal to test their clean water, which always provides some drama towards the end of the lab.Along the way, engineering concepts are introduced: delimiting the problem; defining success, scale, limitations, and constraints; and optimization. These ideas are reinforced in the wastewater treatment challenge, which is essentially a one-day extension of the water treatment lab. The wastewater treatment challenge incorporates a bit more inquiry-based strategies that build upon the background knowledge students have built in the fairly teacher-directed water treatment lab.
I have been collaborating with a local chemical engineering professor for about six years. We coteach a lesson about how engineers approach a problem like wastewater treatment, which is really a scaled-up version of the water treatment lab. As "wastewater engineers," students investigate the use of a flocculating agent, which they test on another sample of dirty water, and optimize (on paper in a "letter" to the New York City Council) a combination column distillation, reverse osmosis, and large-scale filtration based on effectiveness, cost, and environmental impacts.
Last year, I finally reached a personal instructional goal and the project was an act of social justice. I partnered with a water charity to fundraise through bake sales. We raised $300, which was enough to build a clean water tap in a small community in Cameroon. This fundraiser was a great addition to the unit because previously we had discussed both advanced and low-cost alternative water treatment options. But actually helping one to become a reality was much more meaningful to the students. It was amazing to see them enthusiastically own the fundraising and recognize it as immediately worthwhile. Juxtaposing their access to clean water against the miles-long journey to get dirty water—the reality for many people around the world—was motivating and inspiring.
Bottled vs. Tap Water PSA
Fracking PSA
The culminating video project of the unit each year requires students to research and create a short three- or four-minute PSA, which includes a water sustainability issue, impacts on the 3 Es (environment, economy, social equity), a chemistry concept, and a call to action. This is where students are required to really bring the social ideas together with traditional chemistry topics they have learned about in the unit (polarity, solubility, specific heat, and more) or throughout the entire year (oxidation, precipitation, bonding, molecular geometry, and more). Along the way, environmental and engineering concepts are naturally incorporated that align with the Next Generation Science Standards.
Students are guided into and through the research needed to storyboard and script their videos using a research wiki page built in collaboration with my school's librarian. From the first iteration of the project, we knew we wanted to provide students with not only a great deal of choice in their topics but also some structure to the types of sources that would lead to successful PSAs. The wiki contains successively nested webpages full of print, digital, video, and infographic-based resources. Creating, maintaining, and updating the pages each year is one of the most time-intensive pieces of the planning for the project, but the trade-off is well worth it. The effort put into creating a rich and thoughtful world of digital resources pays dividends in the amount of authentic coaching and student work that results.
The videos are awarded "Chemmy's" by sixth graders who visit on the PSA Movie Screening Day. From the beginning of the PSA project, the 10th graders know they will have an authentic audience for their videos. We make popcorn and vote on the best video. The sixth graders have to answer questions using clickers about each video developed by the 10th graders. The 10th graders are judged partially on how well the sixth graders answer the question, and I approve the questions so they are rigorous but reasonable for sixth graders.
Well-educated students
The unit works really well with students because it revolves around an essential resource to which everyone can relate. I introduce and weave throughout the unit the concept of sustainability using many videos that highlight our local NYC water, water infrastructure, the bottled versus tap water debate, and the global water crisis. By the time I do this project in the spring, my general chemistry students have studied most basic chemistry topics except kinetics, thermodynamics, and detailed acid-base chemistry. Though I sacrifice some traditional chemistry content in the 30–35 days devoted to this unit, I do manage to cover a breadth of chemistry concepts. And, despite the loss of some traditional textbook curriculum, I find the results of the chemistry I teach rewarding because students can see how a basic level of chemistry knowledge allows them access to issues that directly affect their lives.
I'm transparent with students about knowing that not all of them will become chemists. After jokingly forgiving them for that, I do more seriously tell them that it is their responsibility to make their communities, both locally and globally, better places to live and that knowing a little chemistry can be powerful.
I've come to accept that much of the chemistry content we as teachers teach will be forgotten by students. Except for advanced chemistry classes in high schools that prepare students for AP exams, I think our primary goal as secondary chemistry educators is to make students fall in love with science. If we do that, they will learn all of the content they need for college. The benefit of focusing the unit around the theme of water sustainability is that students see science in the context of social justice. They start to own environmental stewardship as something personal that affects their lives and see that knowing a little chemistry is essential to being scientifically literate citizens.
In preparation to present this unit at the upcoming National Science Teachers Association conference in Chicago, I asked a fairly recent alumnus what she remembered from my class about water. She ended up reflecting on the PSA video she made about bottled water companies and water privatization. Here's a condensed version of what she said:
Science was never my favorite subject, and I wasn't very good at it either. However, Joe made science bearable and connected it to things that I was interested in. In chemistry we learned about water, where our water comes from, our water systems, and how to filter water. We also conducted different experiments to determine cheap and fast ways to filter water for developing countries. We learned that we are exploited by bottled water companies; the majority of bottled water is the same as filtered water. Also, the plastic water bottles that we end up throwing out go to landfills in developing countries, which affect their water supply even more. The water unit made me more socially aware, and I changed my habits. For example, I don't carry plastic bottles anymore; I use a steel water bottle. I realized that science connects to so many things in the world and science can help us find solutions for all these problems we have. Chemistry definitely challenged me by making me think critically and practically. It was by far my favorite science class in high school and even now that I am in college.
Developing curricula and units like this are essential for educators as we continue to move nationally towards project-based instruction, because it makes whatever content we teach serve some larger educational goals. I believe we are short-changing students if we teach our content devoid of application and social relevance. I think the challenge we must accept as educators is finding authentic, dynamic, and non-routine ways for students to demonstrate their understanding. Finally, we want students who feel empowered by their science knowledge to be better citizens and community members, both locally and globally. These water sustainability PSA videos are my attempt to bring these goals together into one project. Students buy into the importance of water sustainability, are engaged by creating videos that show of their learning, and walk away with a greater sense of environmental stewardship.
About East Side Community High School
To graduate at East Side Community High School, students collect and defend their best work rather than take standardized tests in various subjects. It is a portfolio-based curriculum, thus students are used to project-based instruction. Their science portfolio is a collection of their best work from sixth to 12th grade, and roundtables, which require students to present their work each semester to outside evaluators, are like mini-Ph.D. defenses. The evaluators are a diverse group of anyone other than the student's teacher, but are people with some science background. It is always special to watch students share what they've learned about sustainability at the roundtables. In some years, I've asked students to share each other's videos. Other years, I give them a live video-based sustainability issue to deconstruct and discuss with their evaluator. This is when I get to see and hear how much of the sustainability and the 3 Es they've internalized. They discuss and defend why their video is a great piece of work for their portfolio or analyze a new sustainability issue on the spot. Other project-based activities students complete in chemistry include learning a variety of traditional chemistry concepts (double-replacement reactions, oxidation and reduction, and metallic bonding) through the lens of chemistry in art. They create a piece of artwork using chemistry techniques (an adaptation of Active Chemistry's "Chemist as Artist" unit).

Q: How to set the ColumnIndex of a newly added DataGridViewButton column I have a really annoying issue with a button cell in a DataGridView control. I'm binding the grid to a dataset at runtime. Some of the rows in the grid will be linked to pdf documents. I create a button column and add it to the grid, then I loop through the rows and based on the value of a certain column I set the text of the cell in the button column. When I step through the code I can see the ColumnIndex of the button column is 10. However when the form appears, the button text values for the rows I want are blank.
When I click the button I check in the CellContentClick event to see if the ColumnIndex is 10 (which is the button column) it tells me the ColumnIndex is 0, even though it's the last column. Then when I reload the grid I call the BindHistoryGrid method again which drops the column if it exists and re-adds it. This time it sets the button text correctly. Is there some strange behavior going on that I can't see? How do I set the button ColumnIndex to 10 the first time I add it (even though it tells me that it's 10)?
    private DataGridViewButtonColumn PDFButtonColumn;

    private void BindHistoryGrid()
    {
        dataGridViewStmt.DataSource = ah.getAccountHistory(0, dateTimePicker1.Value, dateTimePicker2.Value);

        if (dataGridViewStmt.Columns["GetPDFFile"] != null)
            dataGridViewStmt.Columns.Remove("GetPDFFile");

        dataGridViewStmt.Columns[0].DisplayIndex = 0;
        dataGridViewStmt.Columns[0].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
        dataGridViewStmt.AutoResizeColumns(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells);
        dataGridViewStmt.Columns[0].Visible = false;
        dataGridViewStmt.Columns[1].Visible = false;
        dataGridViewStmt.Columns.Add(PDFButtonColumn);

        dataGridViewStmt.RowHeadersVisible = false;
        dataGridViewStmt.ReadOnly = true;
        dataGridViewStmt.AllowUserToAddRows = false;

        foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridViewStmt.Rows)
        {
            //if (((string)row.Cells[5].Value).Contains("Invoice"))
            if (((int)row.Cells[9].Value) > 0)
            {
                ((DataGridViewButtonCell)(row.Cells[10])).Value = "Get Invoice";
            }
            else
            {
                ((DataGridViewButtonCell)(row.Cells[10])).Value = "";
            }
        }
     }

    private void dataGridViewStmt_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.ColumnIndex == 10 && dataGridViewStmt.CurrentRow.Cells[6].Value != System.DBNull.Value)
        {
            string pdfFile = "";
            int docID = 0;

            pdfFile = (string)dataGridViewStmt.CurrentRow.Cells[5].Value + ".pdf";
            docID = (int)dataGridViewStmt.CurrentRow.Cells[9].Value;

            if (docID > 0)
            {
                getPDFFile(docID, pdfFile, "pdf");
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("No invoice available for this item";                }
        }
    }

A: I called my bindGrid() method from the two place one after the InitializeComponent() in form's constructor as well as  from form1_load(). it works for me.
hope this will also helps you.

A: I didn't get any replies here so I posted on another forum. I eventually got an answer of sorts, but the whole thing is still pretty vague. The answer I got stated that in order to preserve resources, the grid doesn't always refresh itself. An example is if you have a form with a tab control that has 2 tabs, place a grid on the 1st tab and set column properties after binding in Form Load. This will work. However, when you place the grid on the 2nd tab, using the same binding won't work:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/99ab9fbf-9eaa-4eef-86b8-8f4e49fa81c5
I still haven't found out how or when it decides to preserve resources, if there's a way to bypass this behaviour, if this behaviour is documented anywhere etc. If anyone can throw more light on it I'm all ears.

A: I had the very same issue. I originally had a DataGridView on a separate form and it worked perfectly with the button column - which I add in code after setting the datasource. However, when I decided to move the grid onto another form with a Tabbed Control (on to the Tab(2) page as it happens), the button column index kept reverting to zero. It looked perfectly OK on the grid of course, i.e. in the correct physical location, and if I stepped through the code in debug mode the Index didn't change, but when I ran the program it did change! Very frustrating.
I solved it by setting the tab page to the page that my grid was located BEFORE setting the datasource.
My simple process was like this (I use VB10):
TabControl1.SelectedIndex = 2 ' this is where the datagridview is
MyGrid.DataSource = Nothing
MyGrid.Columns.Clear

' I execute an Sql command into a DataReader, then fill a DataTable and then assign it to the grid
MyGrid.DataSource = MyDataTable

' Now add button column
Dim btnCol as New DatGridViewButtonColumn
MyGrid.Columns.Add(btnCol)

Press Release -- January 15th, 2023
AT&T's David Huntley on Dr. King and the Art of What's Possible
As kids, many of us believed that we could be and do whatever we put our minds to – there was no limit to our possibility. I know I heard that growing up from my father, a Black man born in 1912, who experienced discrimination and the effects of intolerance in his life and did everything he could to positively shape his family's future. I can only imagine the challenges my father faced, but he never allowed circumstances to dictate the success he had. And in turn, his example inspired me to reach for greater opportunity.
My father and Dr. King had a similar perspective on life. They both realized that when one or more groups of people are marginalized, or intentionally left without resources, the potential of that community is stifled, which affects the societal ecosystem at large. When one group is deemed insignificant by the majority, it hurts the greater population.
As I reflect on my father's experience and that of Dr. King and many others who have fought and continue to fight for equal rights, I can appreciate the determination they had, inspired by a future of greater possibilities for their children and all children. My father, Dr. King, and millions of others like them who made great efforts to make a decent living and raise a family during the civil rights era, understood the assignment, which was to persevere. They knew that self-determination and support from their community would be required to build a family, a community and leave a legacy.
In the video below, I share how my father's guidance helped me push beyond what I think I could achieve: as a student, as a young professional and ultimately as AT&T's first Black Chief Compliance Officer.
Equality, equity, and inclusiveness – all are required to help remove barriers so that we all reach our full potential. I and my fellow AT&T employees are grateful for the legacy of civil rights greats, like Dr. King, and the continued work of connecting to greater possibility through individual and collective action, to ensure a better future for the next generation.
Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech remains relevant to this very day. In that speech, Dr. King appealed to everyone listening to end racial, political, and economic inequalities. We know that when people have access – to education, economic empowerment, and an inclusive environment – the door to opportunity opens and possibility is limitless.
When thinking about how you can make a difference in your life and the lives of others, know this: No effort is too small when striving to address issues of equality, especially when it comes to empowering communities and being of service to others. We can appreciate what we've accomplished while aspiring for greater and setting goals to go above and beyond. We have the capacity to achieve equality for all. It is all possible and it is up to us. Let's keep working. Together.
Many of us will never gather a crowd like Dr. King or march with thousands of like-minded people to effect change, my dad didn't do either of those things, yet he made the biggest impact on me.
Everyone has the ability to effect change in actions big or small and to ultimately inspire.

The technology always had a major influence on the gaming world and pushes it on next level in every 5-7 years. In recent years the gaming experience has been drastically shifted to a whole new level by the technology advancements. Today, we will be talking about the game that has recently taken the gaming world by the storm with its popularity. Yes, it's none other than PUBG, but we will be reviewing the PUBG mobile app for our readers. Back in 2017, NetEase released the game only for PC gamers and revolutionized the military combat gaming. Considering the response and the popularity of the game Tencent launched PUBG Mobile, the smartphone version of the game earlier this year.
As expected the game immediately went viral and became favorite of the gamers across the globe. To know how this game actually works and what made it so popular that the people are crazy about it we decided to review it. If you haven't played it yet then by the end of this article, you will know everything about it.
Now, without wasting any more time let's see what PUBG Mobile got for us.
PUBG is a multiplayer shooting combat game that takes you on the mission of killing and survival to win the game. At the beginning of the game, you will be dropped as a mercenary to your chosen map. You will be fighting against 99 players in the game where you need to be the last man standing to become the winner. You must be thinking about what's new, and we already have this kind of games. But, PUBG Mobile has some unique and excellent gameplay features that make it the best among all. From graphics to the map everything is precisely developed for a thrilling gaming experience.
However, the gameplay for the PUBG Mobile is slightly different from the PC version, we will discuss it later.
No matter how much popular a game is and what features it offers the true gamers will never show it a green signal until they experience the gameplay by themselves. So, I had my hand on the game to experience it and know how great it feels. The game starts with you selecting your player having no credits even for clothes. Once you select to join a game, you will be put on the waiting area with other players in the game. Once the 100 players get connected for a chosen map, you will be ready to jump off the plane on the island. Honestly, until getting dropped on the land, it may seem like you are wasting a lot of time but trust me it worth the waiting. You need to handle your own parachute while in the air and try to land in the prescribed area on the map. Once landed you need to look out for the weapon immediately as in PUBG, you won't get weapons by default. Besides, the weapons are limited, so you need to be quick while hunting for them. You can either play solo or form a team to compete in the game. After getting suite up, your aim is to find the enemies within the parameter of 8X8 KM and kill them.
The gaming experience is as same as the PC version; however, the controls seem to be more compact. But, after fewer attempts, you will get used to the controls and feel more comfortable. The features including the graphics, guns, ammo, vehicles and other weapons are similar to the bigger version of the game. The important thing to remember that the area gets shorter with the time, After every particular time gap an electric shockwave comes that reduces the battleground, so you need to be within the perimeter.
Now, coming to the controls, you will have a virtual joystick at the left for controlling the player's movement. The button at the right will allow you to aim and fire on the targets. However, the controls will look clumsy if you are not a regular smartphone gamer. PUBG Mobile also offers a few changes in the controls that you can make by going into the settings. The best thing I found is that, once you get your hands stable on the controls aiming and killing the targets is much easier than the PC version. To make it till the end of the game you have to be smart and alert all the time. The last man standing player or team will win the game.
PUBG Mobile is based on Unreal Engine 4 that enables it to offer HD graphics experience. The game is available for free in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and it will take around 1.5 GB of space to download. For Android, the game can be played on devices running on Android 5.1.1 and above having at least 2GB of RAM. However, I will suggest playing the game with at least one 4GB of RAM and Android 7 or above for hassle-free experience.
Undoubtedly PUBG Mobile is one of the best game ever, but it does have some bumps that could hamper your experience. As the game depends on internet connectivity, you need to have a strong data connection on your mobile. However, in spite of having a good connection, I faced network issue while connecting. Besides, the game has a built-in chat feature for the players to communicate with their teammates. Most of the users use their phone's microphone that could result in getting continuously annoying noises while playing.
Tencent has done great work by bringing the PUBG successfully on a smaller platform. The game will keep you trapped, and you won't even notice how much time you have spent while playing. However, on the other side compared to the PC version the game has some limitation when it comes to graphics, controls, and overall experience. The gamers like me who have played COD, Fortnite, and PUBG on PC will feel the difference in PUBG Mobile. But, we can't argue with that we don't have a multiplayer mobile game that works so well. Besides, making it similar to the PC version would have taken the high hardware requirement in smartphones for the company.

CBS News Video Contradicts Clinton's Story
CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson speaks to then-First Lady Hillary Clinton on a military cargo plane during a trip to war-torn Bosnia in 1996.
White House Photo
It was supposed to be an example of Hillary Rodham Clinton's battle-tested experience:
"I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton said at a recent campaign event.
It started when, in a recent speech, Clinton spoke of her visit to Tuzla, Bosnia, in 1996 as first lady.
The brutal war was over, but hostilities continued. And though the trip was exactly 12 years ago Tuesday, the memories seemed etched in Clinton's mind.
"There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base," she said.
Watch Clinton's Remarks
Problem is: that's not how it happened at all. And we should know: CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson and a CBS News crew accompanied the First Lady on that Bosnia trip.
A photograph shows Clinton talking to Attkisson on the military flight into Tuzla.
And pictures CBS News recorded show the greeting ceremony when the plane landed.
Couric & Co.: Read Attkisson's Full Account Of The Clinton Bosnia Trip
Watch Attkisson's Original Report
Compare that to Clinton's account...
"I remember landing under sniper fire," she said. "There was no greeting ceremony and we were basically told to run to our cars. That is what happened."
But there was no sniper fire either when Clinton visited two army outposts, where she posed for photos. And no sniper fire back at the base, where she sang in a USO show starring Sinbad and Sheryl Crowe.
Asked about the issue during a meeting with the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board on Monday, Clinton said she "misspoke."
"I went to 80 countries, you know. I gave contemporaneous accounts, I wrote about a lot of this in my book. You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things - millions of words a day - so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.
A spokesman for rival Barack Obama's campaign questioned whether Clinton misspoke, saying her comments came in what appeared to be prepared remarks for the Iraq speech. His campaign's statement included a link to the speech on Clinton's campaign Web site with her account of running to the cars.
Clinton's campaign said what is on the Web site is not the prepared text, but a transcript of her remarks, including comments before the speech in which she talked about the trip to Bosnia.
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a written statement that Clinton's Bosnia story "joins a growing list of instances in which Senator Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."
Referring to the CBS News video, Clinton aides said Monday, it "was not quite as dramatic as Clinton put it."
"She meant that there was fire on the hillside around the area when we landed, which was the case," said Clinton campaign aide Lissa Muscatine.
Mike Allen of Politico.com said: "Who knows if she misremembered, misspoke, exaggerated, whatever. It makes the case for Sen. Obama that all this experience that she's been talking about is at least partly in her imagination."
Hundreds of thousands have viewed the video online in just the past few days.
There's a saying: Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.
When you're running for president, maybe it should be: never let your memories be greater than the video.

Terra: New Moon
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Terra (2010) was released originally on the RPGmaker VX platform, after it's endemic failure due to several bad design choices and a lack of my own touch, it quickly was forgotten in favor of Intelligence (2011) which would mark the beginnings of my personal success. Sometimes I felt Terra could have been good had I given it more of a chance, however, it always struck me as such an overly-ambitious game, and Menagerie easily creamed it. With RPGmakerMV's release, I started more or less as a joke, working on a completely new version of Terra built from the ground. The joke however, outrageously backfired, and now I actually really like what I've gone and made. It would be injustice to not let your eyes behold what I've made in... less than a week!
In a world with no sun, three moons orbit to give a perpetual sense of night, this is the world of Terra, a land of magic, wonder and evil. The President of the Atamos Corporation and his 12 Elected officials are seeking to free the Ancient buried Gemini Angels whom were imprisoned beneath Terra's surface in the molten core millennia ago. The people largely object to this, and soon enough Vengeance, a terrifying Dragonar the size of a city is sent by ambiguous forces to deal with the Atamos Corporation and the threat they pose to reality. This backfires when the Atamos Corporation manages to take control of the beast, and use it to keep the citizenry in check. From all this madness, a young girl, barely out of the academy, seeks to free her people from the jaws of tyranny after vengeance destroys her hometown, and the walls that once trapped her along with it-- which allowed her to be free. Now privy of the frivolous upstart, she is hunted by the Atamos Corporation, thus Teratown is the next target of the Corrupted Guardian.

This game is cool, looking forward to the full game :-D
Bizarre Monkey2 years ago
Glad you like it! The full game is on the backburner currently as I and my team work on four other massive projects, but once they are done it's very possible I'll return to this.
i did some Trixie art, figured i'd show it since I've never had a chance to draw the character myself 'til now

Just a shortish first look at the game. If you see something you like, then download the game for yourself and give a shout-out to the developer.
I should stop breaking people's perception of reality with cheesy dialogue and week long development cycles.
I'm going to end up driving someone insane.
Thanks so much Whit, absolutely loved the video review, and I was not expecting it at all, you made my easter sunday even more awesome!
As for Tristy, she grows a little as the game progresses, but it is natural to hate her at first, she's near morally bankrupt, and Valin is as Kyoshi says later, one of the only creatures in existence who would be crazy enough to admire her. Nikki tends to be good at making fun of her though.
As for the reason why there's three identical weapons, they just have different attack animations in battle, this was initially released when MV was really new and I wanted to try out a bit of everything!
Also, wicked makes enemies take more damage from holy damage, while hallowed does the inverse. It also does 1% of HP in damage each turn, which isn't a huge amount, but it helps a ton against tanky bosses, especially since you'd be using those abilities anyway.
Being able to walk on the ceiling and walls is definitely a bug. But it's almost tempting to keep it in because seeing people react to it is more fun than being a hardass about it, maybe I'll make a climb the walls minigame, lel.
Also now that you've pointed it out I'm gonna make that creepy doll a boss later. You're welcome!
Response from youtube -
The first bit is really fully up to opinion and why I made sure to mention in the video for people to make up their own minds. Some people absolutely love wall breaking, quirky, off the wall - dialogue. Definitely, wasn't what I was expecting and I figured it was ok to crack some jokes in this first look. As the game didn't seem to take itself completely seriously either. It was a fun recording (all of them, or I wouldn't have completed it) and I'll keep an eye out for games from you in the future. < completely to address the first statement and second statement. **
I thought about not making jokes about the characters, because they generally come from some part of the person (or something in their lives), but once I saw how they spoke and the reactions etc - I figured I didn't need to worry about approaching it with kid gloves.
Well, I have to say - heck. I don't even know how to put it. I read one of your profile things through CCC about people respecting you. I can see why (though at first I thought it was the confidence). I know what happened with the walls, in all reality it shows that you took the time to pull the map out and add your own flair with photoshop/gimp to the map. If, anyone reads this and pays attention - you can see the difference from the itch.io screen shot of the house. I'm also glad you didn't take my eccentric (and slightly snarky) sense of humor in a bad way. Keep up the work. Though maybe less reading up front - obviously that's just my opinion. I kinda liked how the first Grandia handled the dinner setting chats.
Until next time. (That damn doll..lol)
Bizarre Monkey2 years ago (1 edit)
It's perfectly fine, and i can tell you did enjoy it, hell if you tried 6 times and still ended up recording it that says more than enough, lmao!
The game doesn't take itself very seriously, either. I mean it was made in a week and more or less as a joke, but then i liked it enough to release it.
Also your snarky sense of humour is the sort of thing I dig, and you had me giggling a lot while watching the video, it did make me see that the game was flawed in its ways, but thats half the fun of seeing someone else play it. You also spotted some inconsistencies that I don't, like Trixie stating we spoke once before after previously saying they'd never talked. That can be fixed in the future.

Airbag Recall Expanded To Include 34 Million Vehicles
Tennessee motorists may wish to visit a website provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to find out if their vehicle is included in what safety experts say is the largest vehicle recall in history. The auto parts maker Takata had already recalled approximately 18 million vehicles because of defective airbags, but that number has since been doubled. Many of the vehicles involved were manufactured by Honda, but Takata also provided airbags to several other manufacturers for installation in vehicles produced between 2000 and 2011.
The Japanese company has been widely criticized for resisting the efforts of regulators to get their defective products off the road, but recalls were ordered when exploding airbags were linked to five U.S. deaths. The victims were drivers and front seat passengers hit by shrapnel following an airbag explosion. The faulty airbags have also been linked to at least 10 serious injuries.
Takata initially claimed that the airbags concerned only presented a safety risk in areas prone to high humidity. Regulators initially agreed with the auto parts manufacturer, but they later adjusted their decision and ordered a wider recall. Takata has been fined $14,000, the maximum allowed under U.S. law, each day during the crisis for its lack of cooperation with authorities. The fines levied against the company had amounted to $1.2 million by May 19.
This recall indicates that manufacturers are often reluctant to admit that their products may be dangerous even as evidence mounts that people are being killed or injured. An attorney with product liability experience may seek to hold companies financially responsible when the products they make cause injury, loss or damage. This kind of litigation may seek to compensate the victims of defective products while providing a warning to other manufacturers that failing to act responsibly could lead to civil sanctions.

A 12 years old is a full fledged tween. This is the last year of their life before they step into the fun and confusing world of teenage years. While turning 13 is a much bigger deal, a 12 year old is very similar to a 13 year old. Their choices are similar and most 12 year olds already consider themselves teenagers. In terms of development milestones, CDC considers 12 to 14 year olds as 'young teens' with very similar emotional and social growth patterns. Toys for 12 year old are very similar to gifts for 13 year olds. However, 13 is considered a milestone and atToysferry.com, people usually buy more expensive gifts for a 13th birthday compared to a 12th birthday. Girls are very into how they look and their video games.


If you aren't new to the blog, you might be aware that I often travel. Many times I come across places that make me pause, take a deep breath and admire the beauty around. If you're a frequent traveller you might have had this experience too. Here are few of those moments captured.
The above shot was taken at the bay behind the temple at Rameshwaram around sunset. The view was so beautiful and peaceful that we stayed until it got dark, and we had no choice but to leave.
This was a picture taken on a ferry ride along the Godavari river at Rajahmundry. I had been to this place numerous times since my childhood, but it wasn't until last year that I had this memorable experience. One of the most beautiful sunsets I've watched until today.
Coorg is one of the most beautiful destinations in Karnataka with amazing view points. Although I couldn't go for any trek to those view points. The Raja's seat garden itself offered this peaceful view that I can never forget.
Nandi Hills is one of the most common destinations around Bangalore. However, what makes it fascinating is that this view was captured around 8 am in the middle of summer ( in April to be specific).
This was a picture from my visit to Matheran. The best part about this place is that vehicles aren't allowed around 4 kms from the hill station. This toy train is the only mode of transport apart from the horseback rides. Although I couldn't board the train, it looked quite pretty with the scenery around.
If you have been to Rajasthan, you might have been to Jaisalmer. If you've been to Jaisalmer, you've definitely experienced either the sunrise or sunset at the Sand Dunes. Like a few other lucky people, I happened to capture the sunset with a camel in between.
Will try and make a point to do so the next time!
Thanks a lot, yes it'll be a plus point if you can capture the horses.

The somber Patsy Cline Memorial marks the location of the March 5, 1963 plane crash that killed one of the best loved stars in country music, singer Patsy Cline. Also killed that night were fellow Grand Ole Opry performers Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas, along with pilot Randy Hughes. The musicians were returning to Nashville after performing a benefit concert in Kansas City, Missouri.
Nestled in the woods of Benton County, the memorial consists of a kiosk and a memorial stone where the plane struck. A walkway, a cross and small memorials left by fans complete the site. Thousands of fans visit each year to pay their respects to these beloved, fallen artists.
Daylight hours - no lighting on site.
While the trail down to the crash site is designed to be ADA accessible, it sometimes washes in heavy rains.

Q: RxAndroidBle: BleDisconnectedException: Disconnected from MAC='XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' with status 0 (GATT_SUCCESS) I'm working on an application that uses your framework and I faced into the next issue after my phone connected with ble device after few seconds:
com.polidea.rxandroidble2.exceptions.BleDisconnectedException: Disconnected from MAC='XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' with status 0 (GATT_SUCCESS)

I use the next implementation of connection:
public Observable<Boolean> establishConnection(@NonNull String macAddress) {
        RxBleDevice device = mRxBleClient.getBleDevice(macAddress);
        return device
                .establishConnection(false)
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .doOnNext(rxBleConnection -> mRxBleConnection = rxBleConnection)
                .flatMap(rxBleConnection -> Observable.just(true));
    }

where result of establishConnection is:
Disposable establishConnectionDisposable = bleManager
                .establishConnection(mMacAddress)
                .subscribe(aBoolean -> bleManager.readServices(mMacAddress), throwable -> {
                    Log.e(TAG, throwable.toString());
                    onBackPressed();
                });
mCompositeDisposable.add(establishConnectionDisposable);

Well, the reason of disconnecting isn't crear for me. Could someone help me to figure out?


Is It The Time To Rewrite The Textbooks With The Updated Theory Of Photosynthesis?
Until now, we have learned that all plants on Earth make the use of green pigment, chlorophyll-a for their photosynthetic process. In this universally accepted type of photosynthesis, this green pigment is the one which absorbs light. The energy from the absorbed light is then used in making essential biochemicals required for the plant metabolism.
All the plant's species on the Earth, including the algae and cyanobacteria, consists of this green pigment, chlorophyll-a. The energy from the red light absorbed by chlorophyll-a sets the 'red limit' for photosynthesis. This red limit is defined as the minimum amount of energy that is required to perform the chemistry involved in the synthesis of oxygen. The red limit finds its primary application in the field of astrobiology. Here in astrobiology, the red limit focuses on the research of presence of complicated life on other planets within our solar system.
Bill Rutherford conveys, "The new form of photosynthesis made us rethink what we thought was possible. It also changes how we understand the key events at the heart of standard photosynthesis. This is textbook changing stuff." Bill Rutherford is the researcher of the study and a professor at Imperial under Life Sciences Department.
The discovery marks its presence in the journal Science.

Tibetan cranial therapy of the Parayana Buddhist tradition is a specialized use of chi (energy) that affects the dynamic utilization of cerebral spinal fluids. On a broader scale it also includes all of the fluids in the body that are housed in organs, in any cavities, or in any of the interstitial spaces.
Tibetan cranial therapy as practiced by Parayana Buddhist siddhi healers has been utilized for centuries in the Himalayan regions. It is a little-known therapy with roots in the Tibetan Himalayan area (though not necessarily part of modern Traditional Tibetan medicine), is a form of yogic healing that utilizes energy skills, and is not found in other healing traditions. It has been taught via oral transmission from our Master Teachers. It differs from Western cranial sacral therapy in that it entails only very light touch itself, but can be combined with cranial, spinal or sacral bone adjustments in the same treatment.
This cranial therapy brings about repolarization of areas of the body that are not in sync with any of the organ systems or their integrated functions in the body as a whole. The therapy tends to very soothing to the nerves and can be used as a method for deactivating and calming symptoms of stress.
All energy and all cycles of motion are but the interflow of living mind, appearing as the ebb and flow of all that exists.

So I woke up on the morning of Eid trying to recall the many thoughts that were woven with my dreams. The flat was quiet, I briefly remembered my son and my husband making their way out in the early hours of morning. I sat quietly and was thinking, -hmmmm how long should I wait before I purchase an ipad?
-Do I really need it or I think I do?
I was still in trance from joy and might not have said thanks enough and definitely not to the level of my joy. How did he read my thoughts? I never mentioned it I just thought it. I was overjoyed with the gift but mainly that my husband figured out what I wanted without me even saying it.
Of course I downloaded loads of free apps from the itunes store which I hope I can review when I have time but I was especially happy with the children apps and educational material, which means that my ipad will be subject for common use but seeing my 20 months old son's expression is priceless.
My children now wake up in the morning and approach me to play with the ipad.


Dominant black coat color in sheep is predicted to be caused by an allele E D at the extension locus. Recent studies have shown that this gene encodes the melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor (MC1-R). In mouse and fox, naturally occurring mutations in the coding region of MC1-R produce a constitutively activated receptor that switches the synthesis from phaeomelanin to eumelanin within the melanocyte, explaining the black coat color observed phenotypically. In the sheep, we have identified a Met→Lys mutation in position 73 (M73K) together with a Asp → Asn change at position 121 (D121N) showing complete cosegregation with dominant black coat color in a family lineage. Only the M73K mutation showed constitutive activation when introduced into the corresponding mouse receptor (mMC1-R) for pharmacological analysis; however, the position corresponding to D121 in the mouse receptor is required for high affinity ligand binding. The pharmacological profile of the M73K change is unique compared to the constitutively active E92K mutation in the sombre mouse and C123R mutation in the Alaska silver fox, indicating that the M73K change activates the receptor via a mechanism distinct from these previously characterized mutations.

Treatment for Schizophrenia
in Orange County, CA
Schizophrenia is well known–but often misunderstood–disorder. It is often marked by negative connotations, and misrepresentations of the disorder are common and fail to capture the real picture of a person with a complex but very treatable psychiatric condition.
The number of people affected by schizophrenia and by related psychotic disorders is unknown, but estimations can be 0.25% to 0.64% in the United States.
Schizophrenia can get in the way of living a normal life and even affect the people around whoever has it. Speech, emotions, thinking, and other aspects of life affected by schizophrenia may make it hard for one to interact with others and affect everyday activities.
At SoCal Mental Health's Orange County Behavioral Health Center, we help people manage symptoms of schizophrenia. Our home-like community provides both one-on-one and group therapy aimed at creating a path to independence.
What Is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a life-long psychotic disorder characterized by breaks from reality, hallucinations, and beliefs that do not reflect the real world.
Schizophrenia can impair ones ability to distinguish reality from delusions and hallucinations. It can also impair speech, motor function and cognitive functions.
People with schizophrenia may hear voices, see ficticious images or believe that other people are out to get them. These hallucinations and sensations can be distressing and cause a person to behave irrationally. These symptoms may lay on a spectrum, where some people have milder symptoms and others have more severe and debilitating symptoms.
Symptoms of schizophrenia usually start between ages 16 and 30. Men tend to develop symptoms in their late teens to early 20s, while women often show symptoms in their late 20s to early 30s. Typically, people are not diagnosed with schizophrenia after age 45.
There are three categories of symptoms of schizophrenia:
Psychotic Symptoms that cause a person's thinking to be distorted. Some of these symptoms include hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren't there), delusions (false beliefs), difficulty organizing thoughts and speech, and odd movements.
Negative Symptoms make it difficult to express feelings or function normally. When a person appears depressed and withdrawn, it's a red flag.
Cognitive Symptoms interfere with a person's ability to think clearly. Among these are difficulties with information use, decision-making, and paying attention.
Types of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a term that encompasses a group of disorders that all share basic symptoms. However, distinct patterns of presentation are often noted. Two of the most common are Paranoid Schizophrenia and Catatonic Schizophrenia.
Paranoid Schizophrenia, also known as schizophrenia with paranoia, is the most frequent kind. Those who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia have a distorted view of the world around them. Sometimes, they'll see or hear things that aren't there, speak in a muddled manner, believe that others are trying to harm them, or feel as if they're constantly being observed.
If someone with the disorder tries to self-medicate their symptoms using drugs or alcohol, it can further lead to relationship troubles and disruptions of routine daily tasks like showering, eating, or running errands. It can also lead to alcohol and drug dependence or substance use disorders (SUDs).
Catatonic Schizophrenia is another type of schizophrenia characterized by a kind of dissociation or withdrawal that often manifests as various forms of paralytic and psychotic symptoms.
Some of these include:
Stupor: The most common sign, in its most extreme form it involves a disengagement with external stimuli, resulting in a total shutdown of psychomotor activity.
Mutism: Falling into profound silence, abandoning verbal communication.
Contortions: Displaying "waxy flexibility," such as having their arm or leg molded into shape by someone else and maintained in that position until it is changed.
Mimicry: When a person with schizophrenia replicates another person's words or behaviors for no apparent reason, this is called echolalia or echopraxia.
Odd Movement: Moving in ways that are out of the ordinary, such as excessive repetition of physical acts or movements that appear to have no purpose.
Agitation: The person becomes agitated or enraged without apparent cause.
Diagnosing and Treating Schizophrenia
A specialized doctor, such as one of our Orange County psychiatrists, can help diagnose schizophrenia and develop an effective treatment plan. Since schizophrenia is a life-long condition, these treatment plans should be managed well.
There are various causes that have been put forth by psychiatrists. Genetic inheritance seems to play a large role in developing the condition. A chemical imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain have also been linked to schizophrenia, including serotonin and dopamine. Other environmental factors and drug usage (mainly marijuana and hallucinogens) can also exasperate the condition.
As a psychiatrist gets to know the patient and their symptoms, they may be able to develop a treatment plan that can prevent relapses and avoid hospitalization.
While there is no cure for schizophrenia, therapy and medication can manage the most severe symptoms.
Treatment options for schizophrenia include:
Antipsychotics — such as risperidone, olanzapine, haloperidol, ziprasidone, or quetiapine. Some injectable forms of these medications can last up to 3 months, making the treatment plan easier to manage.
Psychotherapy — such as cognitive behavioral therapy, interactive and social group therapy, and individual therapy. Individual therapies inlclude supportive counseling, personal therapy, social skill building, compliance therapy, and vocational therapy.
Coordinated care — that integrates the above with family involvement and education to serve as a holistic approach to manage the condition long-term.
Here at SoCal Mental Health, we open our Orange County Behavioral Health Center to those struggling with conditions like schizophrenia. We are a dedicated group of professionals with a goal to empower others and help them overcome their symptoms.
Our experienced psychiatrists work with skilled therapists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to help people enjoy their lives and reduce symptoms of mental illness.
Our programs involve crisis stabilization at our inviting residential facilities, as well as medication-assisted treatment and psychotherapy. We are also passionate about holisitic approaches, such as exciting and enjoyable group activities to bring happiness and enjoyment back into one's life.

Ever since I started blogging in 2004 I have read numerous blogs and here is what I think about the topic of gaining a readership for your blog.
Long winded blog entries bore people. So, unless you can keep the interest up, try to keep your posts short and sweet.
This doesn't apply to all genres. If you run a political blog then long blogs are more helpful.
A picture really does speak a thousand words and if the pictures you use interest people, they are more likely to carry on reading your blog.
We get it black is a cool color but more often than not dark backgrounds cause eye strain. So use a lighter background. A light background is soothing to the eyes and makes things more visible.
This is what i feel like everytime i visit a blog with a dark background.
By tidy I don't mean you can't use ad sense. By all means advertise but keep it categorized. Don't use too many tabs or an ' all over the place' kind of design. Background pictures are nice but don't let them overwhelm your content. There are blogs that I frequent which have amazing content but have fewer followers than they deserve and I can't help but think this is due to the layout they have used.
…then visit theirs and leave comments, like posts or follow their blog. It's a basic reciprocity principle.
I have noticed that people with funky gravatars are more likely to have their profiles clicked on than people using more mundane ones.
I titled a post 'Justin Bieber is the father of Mariah Yeater's child' and within half an hour of posting it on twitter i received hundreds of visits. However this was just done as a little marketing experiment and you should refrain from doing this because it's funny once but do it twice and you will thoroughly piss people off.
Remember you are writing for human beings not dictionaries and while it's great to read blogs with good vocabulary, cut down on the usage of bombastic words.
I would like to hear your opinion about this too! So leave me a comment letting me know 🙂 Have an awesome weekend!
← What's your favorite season and why?
I think you summed up my sentiments exactly short, sweat, neat, and tidy!
Thanks for this, some wonderful tips.
We have been blogging since early September so this is still fairly new to us and any advice is appreciated on how to expand our audience and keep our content fun and interesting.
I would just say keep it original and don't try too hard! I know of someone who tries too hard to be funny and it ends up being NOT FUNNY! Also I wanted to recommend a blog idea:P Should I email you?
Wonderful web site. Lots of helpful information here. I'm sending it to a few buddies ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks for your effort!
Thank you! that's nice of you:) I am going to visit your site shortly!
All of these hints are so wonderful! I wish you could just download them to the brains of some bloggers because they just don't get it. You also exemplified another tip: it's okay to to use subheadings and/or lists. Sometimes people ramble on in paragraph form when the content would be best shared in bite-sized bits.
true! I also don't approve of people creating just for the sake of creating! what do you think?
I appreciated your advice – will try to take it to heart !
Good luck Wayne 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog!

Incentives help residents buy, build on infill lots.
Want to build a new house in Minneapolis? Choose a vacant lot on the North Side, and the city will help make it happen.
The City Council approved a pilot program Friday that will offer incentives for building new homes in north Minneapolis and help low-income buyers purchase houses built on vacant lots. The program aims to produce needed affordable housing and start filling the nearly 400 city-owned vacant residential lots.
"The idea is really to develop on every single one of them," said Council Member Blong Yang, who represents the North Side's Fifth Ward and started working on the program about a year ago.
There are different ways to participate in the program, with various incentives.
Developers building new housing on city-owned vacant lots in north Minneapolis can receive up to $75,000 in incentives per unit. The housing they build must be affordable for people with annual incomes at 80 percent or less of the area median income. For the North Side in 2016, the most affordable homes sold for less than $160,000, on average, according to the city.
Individuals building a new house on the North Side can receive up to $20,000 to subsidize construction — or $25,000, if they're Minneapolis police officers, firefighters or public school teachers. There are no income restrictions, but they must live in the house for at least five years.
There's also help specifically for low-income home buyers interested in housing on infill lots in different parts of the city. Households with an income at 80 percent or less of the area median income can qualify for up to $25,000 to bridge the gap between a home's sale price and what they can afford — and lots can be in north, south or northeast Minneapolis.
"We want to make homeownership in south and northeast affordable as well," Yang said. "The idea is to keep certain lots, or certain houses, affordable for people."
The city will pay for the program using money allocated in the 2017 budget for existing housing development programs. If the pilot year goes well, city staff will develop a plan to extend the program another five years.
Many of the lots that the city owns were purchased in the wake of the 2008 housing crisis and 2011 tornado that tore through the North Side. It costs the city $3,600 a year to maintain each lot, Yang said, and there are still frequent complaints about overgrown weeds, litter and other blight.
The hope is that the infill housing program will increase the city's population and tax base and make more affordable housing available to those who need it.
"I don't know if it'll work," Yang said. "We haven't tried it, and so we need to try it."

Broshi is to list the books I read. When I was a consultant, I often read two or three per week. There's lots of time in hotel rooms. Now, it's somewhat less. Some days I can get a little done at night. There's also bathroom reading, too. Though, as you might guess, my light reading is a little less light than others'.
5: Outstanding book. If nonfiction, the book made me learn understand something substantial. If fiction, the book is engrossing enough to bring up in casual conversation. When asked, I would make a general recommendation. There aren't very many at this level, so I feature these on my bookcases. Sometimes I buy them as gifts.
4: Recommended book. It's a good well-written story, and if non-fiction, has a worthwhile point. I have no reservations suggesting this to people interested in the genre or subject matter, and in some cases, to people just looking for something to read.
3: Quality book. If non-fiction, there's still a strong argument, but it might have some flaws, or it might ramble into silly side points, or something like that. If fiction, the book was nice but I wouldn't read it again. I would recommend this to people interested in the genre or subject, but with some reservations.
2: Average book. A lot of popular books wind up here, with a mix of strong and weak parts. At this level, the book is OK. I'm not embarassed in wasting my time, but I wouldn't recommend such a text.
1: Substandard book. The flaws in logic, writing, or storyline are enough that I feel I wasted my time. I still keep books at this level, but they tend to hide in the corners and on the back shelves of my bookcases.
0: Abysmal book. Either I couldn't finish, or I suffered through the end and immediately sent it to the recycle bin. I don't want to see the cover again. Fortunately, I manage to avoid most of these before I start.

The Problem with Fidelity's Crypto Trading Platform
Bank Of America Gets Patent For System To Secure Crypto Storage
ADVFN Crypto NewsWire
The second largest bank in America has won a patent that will secure cryptocurrency storage through a 'tamper responsive' remote storage of private keys. The patent adds to the growing list of patents that have been secured by traditional financial institutions. It's a move that shows the growing interest in cryptocurrencies from these organizations.
The Problem With Existing Storage Methods
The patent was initially filed two years ago but was finalized and entered into the record last week. According to the patent documents, the system will try to address the problem with existing storage methods for private cryptocurrency keys.
The document states:
"Such devices do not provide for a real-time response to such breaches, such that misappropriation of private cryptography keys is prevented." The patent adds that most private keys are stored in regular consumer-grade devices, and they are "susceptible to being misappropriated by an entity that desires to usurp a user's identity."
Now with the patent, the bank hopes to serve as the bank for private keys. A digital safe deposit box that has the necessary insurance and backing of a significant banking corporation. If they go ahead and commercialize the 'product now,' they are likely to find a massive market for it.
The bank will offer its clients the ability to know in real-time when their private keys have been tampered with as well as providing a solution to the problem. It's an invention that will serve all types of clients. However, the biggest beneficiaries will be crypto exchanges and large clientele who are usually the target of many hack attempts.
The documents describe a system of redundant keys. The system will automatically respond to tamper attempts by deleting the private key from the potentially compromised device.
"In specific embodiments of the system, the storage device further includes one or more sensors in communication with the first processor. In such embodiments of the system, the first processor is further configured to, in response to receiving the tamper-related signals from the one or more sensors, delete the one or more private cryptography keys from the first memory."
The system will also perform the function in case there is physical tampering of the device, like when its stolen.
"In other specific related embodiments of the system, the one or more sensors further comprise at least one of a shock sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a temperature sensor, In such embodiments of the system, the first processor is further configured to, in response to receiving the tamper-related signals from at least one of the shock sensor, the acceleration sensor, and the temperature sensor, delete the one or more private cryptography keys from the first memory."
The third instance where it will delete the private key from the client's device is when a malicious code or a virus is detected.
"In other specific embodiments of the system, the first processor is further configured to receive the tamper-related signal, from the computing node. In such embodiments of the system, the tamper-related signal indicates that a user has exceeded a predetermined number of attempts of inputting user authentication credentials to the authentication routine."
According to the document, users will have the ability to set the tamper signals and configure how they are processed.

Q: Using variable that contains "multiply" string for multiplication of 2 other numbers I have a task where I should create 3 variables, 2 of them will be numbers (2,3) and the 3rd will be '*' or '/' sign string.
I need to write a function that will return the answer of 2*3 and 2/3 by using the 3 variables only for the outcome.
I have no idea how to use the variable that contains a string, and that string to perform the operation of subtract or multiply.
function multiply (a , b ,c ) {

}
console.log (multiply(4, (*) , 5 )) ;

I expect the outcome to be 4* 5 and 4/5

A: Put it on if condition and match ur sign
function multiply (a , b ,c ) {
  return c === '*' ? a*b :  a/b
}
console.log (multiply(4,  5, '/' )) ;

Hope it help

A: You're trying to pass an operator as a parameter to a function, which isn't possible in javascript. You can still make this function though, but using strings as an alternative.
function multiply(a, b, op) {
  if (op === '*') return a * b;
  if (op === '/') return a / b;
}

console.log(multiply(2, 5, '*')); // should return 10
console.log(multiply(2, 5, '/')); // should return 0.4

A: const handlers = {
    '*': (a, b) => { return a * b; },
    '/': (a, b) => { return a / b; },
}

function multiply (a , b ,c ) {
    return handlers[b](a, c);
}

A: const multiply = (num1, num2, calc) => `${num1}${calc}${num2}`

console.log(multiply(1,2,"*"))

The painful truth about teeth
You can work full time but not have the money to fix your teeth – visible reminders of the divide between rich and poor
Story by Mary Jordan, Kevin Sullivan

SALISBURY, Md. — Two hours before sunrise, Dee Matello joined the line outside the Wicomico Civic Center, where hundreds of people in hoodies, heavy coats and wool blankets braced against a bitter wind.
Inside, reclining dental chairs were arrayed in neat rows across the arena's vast floor. Days later, the venue would host Disney on Ice. On this Friday morning, dentists arriving from five states were getting ready to fix the teeth of the first 1,000 people in line.
The Forgotten: The issues at the heart of Trump's America
Part 1: On a Texas prairie, distance grows between neighbors over an American birthright.
Part 3: 'I'm going to work until I die': The new reality of old age in America
Matello was No. 503. The small-business owner who supports President Trump had a cracked molar, no dental insurance and a nagging soreness that had forced her to chew on the right side of her mouth for years.
"It's always bothering me," she said. And although her toothache wasn't why she voted for Trump, it was a constant reminder of one reason she did: the feeling that she had been abandoned, left struggling to meet basic needs in a country full of fantastically rich people.
Why this woman has hidden her smile for 12 years
Forced to choose between meat in the freezer, and taking care of her teeth, Ashleigh Hands chose food.
As the distance between rich and poor grows in the United States, few consequences are so overlooked as the humiliating divide in dental care. High-end cosmetic dentistry is soaring, and better-off Americans spend well over $1 billion each year just to make their teeth a few shades whiter.
Millions of others rely on charity clinics and hospital emergency rooms to treat painful and neglected teeth. Unable to afford expensive root canals and crowns, many simply have them pulled. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans older than 65 do not have a single real tooth left.
Over two days at the civic center, volunteer dentists would pull 795 teeth. A remarkable number of patients held steady jobs — a forklift operator, a librarian, a postal worker — but said they had no dental insurance and not enough cash to pay for a dentist.
Americans older than 65 do not have a single real tooth left.
Matello had both problems, adding to her frustration about being cut off from a world that many wealthier Americans take for granted.
"The country is way too divided between well-off people and people struggling for everything — even to see the dentist," she said. "And the worst part is, I don't see a bridge to cross over to be one of those rich people."

Matello voted for Barack Obama in 2008, thinking he offered the best option for working people, but she sat out the 2012 election. Last year, she rallied behind Trump after listening to him talk about "the forgotten men and women of our country, people who work hard but don't have a voice."
"I'm running to be their voice," Trump said repeatedly.
What Matello heard was a promise "to restore pride to the working poor."
A big part of that promise was Trump's assurance that he would build a "beautiful" health-care system to serve every American, a system that would cost less and do more. But nearly four months into Trump's presidency, Matello sees Trump backing a Republican health care plan that appears to leave low-income people and the elderly worse off.
"I am hearing about a number of people who will lose their coverage under the new plan," Matello said. "Is Trump the wolf in grandma's clothes? My husband and I are are now saying to each other: 'Did we really vote for him?' "
Matello said she has no option but to keep hoping Trump will devise "a plan so we can all feel the benefits of a better economy." But since he took office, Trump has focused on so many other things — most recently, his decision to fire the FBI director — that Matello has begun to wonder about his promises to the working class:
"Was he just out to get our votes?"
'What I'm seeing is . . . horrifying'
Straight, white teeth are associated with social success — just about everyone on TV or with a big job has them. People drop $2,000 per tooth on porcelain veneers to hide the smallest imperfections. Trump has unusually perfect, snow-white teeth, prompting numerous cosmetic dentists to publicly note that he seems to have had expensive work done.
"If I see someone with perfect teeth, I think, 'Oh, man, they're out of my league,' " Matello said. "Us poor people 'status' each other. We're like, 'Ah, dude, you don't have any teeth!' Or if you see someone with little jagged yellow stubs, you think, 'Oh, man, you have lived here your whole life, haven't you?' "
"Here" is Maryland's Eastern Shore, the poorest part of one of the country's richest states. It's a region famous for chicken farms: Perdue's national headquarters is here in Salisbury, a town of 30,000. Matello lives 20 miles north, in Laurel, Del., near fields that sprout corn, watermelons and soybeans.
Emergency room visits because of dental issues in 2016
1.6 billion
Costs of those ER visits
In these rural areas, even the water can work against people. Many homes, including Matello's, rely on well water. Unlike water from public systems, well water is not fluoridated. Nationwide, 25 percent of Americans are not connected to a fluoridated water system, and therefore, are missing out on what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called one of the 10 great health advances of the 20th century.
"It's all well water, no fluoride," said Patricia Higgins, one of the dentists volunteering at the Salisbury clinic. "In these places, we see people with a different level of dental problems."
George Acs, director of the dental department at Chesapeake Health Care, a clinic near Salisbury, said people with oral pain and infections are inundating hospitals. Last year, more than 2 million U.S. emergency room visits were attributed to neglected teeth.
"What I am seeing is absolutely horrifying," said Acs, who recently testified about the problem before the Maryland state legislature.
Although those hospital visits cost an estimated $1.6 billion a year, the ER is generally not equipped to fix dental problems, Acs told lawmakers. So ER doctors just medicate people with "a perpetual cycle of antibiotics and opioids."
That cycle is feeding a nationwide epidemic of opioid addiction. Meanwhile, Higgins said, Americans' increasing reliance on all kinds of drugs is further ruining their teeth. Many drugs cause dry mouth, which leads to more cavities. When she started her practice 35 years ago, she said, people took far fewer prescription drugs. Now patients hand her computer printouts with long lists of them.
Matello's problem wasn't complicated: A molar shattered years ago. The 46-year-old mother of three had not seen a dentist in nine years. When parts of her tooth broke off, she knew fixing it could cost hundreds of dollars, and other bills were always more urgent.
Then she heard on TV that the nonprofit Mission of Mercy was coming to the Eastern Shore to host one of the free dental clinics that had drawn overnight crowds in Nebraska, North Carolina and other parts of the country. So she decided to take Friday off.
Matello and her husband own a small vending-machine business called DeeLicious, spending their days restocking 69 machines installed in factories, schools and office buildings. They offer granola bars and other healthful snacks, but Snickers sell best.

Life was easier before the recession hit in 2007. Her husband managed a furniture warehouse, making more than $70,000 a year, and she sold fishing boats, adding to their income. But then people stopped buying big-ticket sofas and boats, and they both lost their jobs.
So they started buying vending machines and earn about $47,000 a year. Matello said she doesn't know if the country's rich-poor divide is worse now, but it sure feels more "in your face."
"I am just fed up with it," she said. "I don't do Facebook. It's 'I went on this trip' or 'I got this new thing.' You know, I really don't need to see how great you are doing. It puts me in a state of depression."
She said people judge success based on what people wear or where they live, and she even catches herself doing it. Washington, for example, is just 150 miles west, but to Matello it feels a planet away, totally out of reach.
"It's a beautiful city to drive through. But I could never live there. I wouldn't fit in," she said. "I don't have the toys, the education, the money to live there. We have nothing in common. That divide is why you see lower income people rising up, being mad at affluent people."
And teeth, she said, "are the telltale, visible sign of wealth."
Fewest dentists where need is greatest
The Washington region has one of the greatest concentrations of dentists in the world, with many offering high-end services in offices that resemble luxury spas. More than 50 million Americans, by contrast, live in areas officially designated by the federal government as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas. A great many of them are working poor.
"It's completely skewed. You have the fewest dentists where the need is greatest," Acs said. He recently sent a patient here with impacted wisdom teeth 120 miles to find a dental specialist who accepts Medicaid.
Louis Sullivan, a physician who was secretary of health and human services under President George H.W. Bush, said "broad systemic problems" block access to dentists.
25 percent
of Americans – 80.7 million people – don't have access to fluoridated water.
First, new dentists often start out with significant debt, and they gravitate toward wealthy areas where they have a better shot at making money. The typical graduate from a four-year, post-collegiate dental school owes $260,000 — more than the average medical student.
Then they set up solo practices, shouldering pricey overhead — equipment, office space, a receptionist — that accounts for much of a patient's bill. While younger dentists are more likely to join groups that share costs, the century-old model of the solo practice has resisted change.
Then there's the matter of payment. Teeth generally are treated separately from the rest of the body, a tradition that dates to dentistry's origins as a specialty of barbers, who performed oral surgery and pulled teeth. Today, many public health officials view that division as a mistake. Poor oral health can lead to heart disease and other serious medical problems, and tooth loss can lead to depression and difficulty eating and speaking.
The separation extends to insurance. Even Medicare, the federal health program that covers 55 million seniors and disabled people, does not cover dental problems. For that, people must buy dental insurance, which typically limits annual benefits to about $1,500 per person — an amount that has barely budged in decades, even as costs have risen.
The price of employer-provided plans varies greatly, and can cost a family $500 a year or more, industry experts said. For those whose jobs don't offer dental benefits, it can be even more expensive. So tens of millions go without: More than a third of American adults have no dental coverage, according to the ADA's Health Policy Institute.
Children's coverage has been improving. All states are required to provide dental benefits to children on Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Obama's Affordable Care Act currently requires medical plans to offer dental care to those younger than 19. But that requirement – and the dental benefits of 5 million adults newly covered under the ACA – are jeopardized by the Trump-backed health overhaul now being debated in Congress.
Adults who are poor enough, and live in certain states, can get coverage through Medicaid, the state-federal health program for low-income Americans. But only about 38 percent of dentists accept Medicaid — about half the rate of physicians — in part because of low reimbursement rates. On average, Medicaid covers about 37 percent of the bill, according to a recent ADA analysis. Dentists who don't accept Medicaid also complain of bureaucratic hassle and high rates of canceled appointments.
In a handful of states, Medicaid offers no dental coverage for adults. Delaware, where Matello lives, is one of them. Which is why, on a damp Friday morning, she found herself lining up with hundreds of other people with aching teeth.
More than 1,000 people received treatment on a first come, first served basis during the two-day clinic in Salisbury.
116 dentists, 1,165 patients
At 9:44 a.m., five hours after arriving in Salisbury, Matello finally made it inside the civic center and began to warm up.
"What do you need done?" she asked an older veteran in a wheelchair.
"Need nine teeth pulled," he said. "My wife works at Rite Aid, and we don't have any insurance."
A little after noon, Matello's number was called. A volunteer took her temperature; she was running a slight fever but not high enough to stop treatment.
Two more hours. Finally, she was waved over to an X-ray machine under a basketball hoop.
Just as Matello expected to be called for her turn in the dentist's chair, a volunteer announced in a loud voice: "Those up to number 500 will be seen today. The rest will have to come back tomorrow."
"You have to be kidding!" yelled a frustrated woman behind Matello. "I have to do this all over again?"
Matello's eyes filled with tears. She had been waiting 10 hours.
A volunteer gave her a wristband that would put her at the head of the line the next day. So she drove home in her 18-year-old Jeep, ate dinner chewing only on the right side yet again, and set her alarm.
By 7 a.m. the next day, she was finally in one of the reclining chairs, with a dentist pointing a bright light into her mouth.
She stared up at the arena's high industrial black ceiling. The whir of drills across the open room competed with Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" playing over a loudspeaker.
Robert Testani, a volunteer dentist from Catonsville, Md., examined Matello and checked her X-ray before easing a syringe of novocaine into her mouth. He prepared to pull her broken molar.
"Don't worry. This is routine," he said. He paused and looked around. "Except for the setting."

Over two days, 116 dentists treated 1,165 patients, providing $1 million worth of fillings and other care, according to the Mission of Mercy. Matello was grateful. She was told her panoramic X-ray and extraction would have cost $600 to $800 in a regular office.
She looked at some of the others who had come here, despite working for a living cutting down trees, building homes, minding a town library, running small businesses.
"We are not staying home, not sleeping and living off the government," she said.
She wondered why there wasn't a better system for people like her. She tried not to look at the 51-year-old truck driver lying next to her who had three teeth pulled, his mouth stuffed with bloody gauze.
"I am trying to think that this is not demeaning," she said as she cleared the chair for the next person in line. "But it is. It's like a Third World country."
