Nestio: The All-Rounder Apartment Hunting App
Published by tmtadmin on August 13, 2013
We all hate apartment hunting. From the seamlessly never-ending viewings, the countless landlords and the constant loop of questions. Well two years ago Caren Maio launched Nestio, an app to combine information for renters and landlords.
The app combines a web and mobile system to organize all your listing information on a map, with the ability to compare amenities, size, price, distance to a certain point maybe your office or your favorite coffee place. Apartment viewings can be saved onto the Nestio site which will then sync with your app – allowing for real-time updates about listings and the ability to share photos and notes with friends.
Three weeks ago Nestio launched a new feature for landlords and brokers that allows them to store floor plans, photos and addresses, sync to their respective sites and communicate with renters about openings or closings.
Mashable spoke to Maio about her frustration with the rental market and how Nestio was solving the problems of a notoriously difficult real estate market.
Q&A With Caren Maio, Co-Founder of Nestio

What would you say is the most irritating part of apartment-searching right now?
Good question. Really, the biggest thing is just knowing that so many landlords and brokers out there rely on this old-school way of doing things — of using spreadsheets and fax machines to manage everything, for example. When you're searching, you want to make sure you're making the best, most informed decision about choosing where to live; but it's hard to feel that way when, say, you're calling someone about a listing only to find out that it's completely outdated by the time you get there. It's so stressful.
The bottom line is that the folks at the very top — those in control of suppliers and everything — have really outdated systems. And that's something that affects everybody.
So how did you come up with the idea for Nestio?
I've lived in New York City for 11 years, and I've moved within the city almost once each year. I kept thinking to myself that there has to be a better way to find an apartment in a big city.
I met my co-founder, Mike O'Toole, about five years ago. He had recently completed a move, so it was fresh in his mind, and we both started lamenting about all the pain points that come with moving. Finally, we both said, "You know what? Let's play around with some ideas."
We applied to TechStars and were lucky enough to get in — and that's where it started. We quit our jobs and spent a lot of time talking to key players in the market — landlords, brokerage firms, renters — to figure out what the real pain point was, for everyone, and find a way to best address it through the use of technology.
So what did you conclude from speaking to everyone? Was there a universal answer?
Absolutely! In the sales market there's a main database of information, called the Multiple Listings Service(MLS), which is great; but you just don't have something like that on the rental market. You don't have it in New York, and you don't have it out of New York … it just doesn't exist.
Almost every landlord and broker we talked to over the past year agreed that it was difficult to make sense of all the information about their listings. Most of them admitted to using spreadsheets, Post-It notes and fax machines, like I said before. So we concluded that the core issue at hand is this: If you're looking at listings on third-party sites, they're often inaccurate or stale — you'll call up a broker, or whoever listed the apartment, and they'll say, "Sorry, that apartment was rented earlier today." Well … why is it still on the website?
We kept hearing this scenario over and over again during our research, so we talked to brokers and asked, "Hey, guys, what's going on?" And the results were pretty remarkable. Landlords who owned or managed hundreds of millions — and in some cases, billions — of dollars in rental inventory were saying, "Hey, I've got multiple touch points, I've got a website, I've got brokers to update, I've got an internal team … it's a lot of work." And they're right — it is. But without a database to compile all this information into one spot, it's easy to lose track of things.
That's where we saw an opportunity: When you think about the way that technology has really transformed other industries, it was amazing to us that in 2013 this method was the way landlords and brokers were managing their information. So we set out to change that lack of a universal, transparent platform.
As a renter, how does this work?
It's a way to organize everything into one place. Before Nestio, there wasn't a web and mobile tool to see listings, take notes and share them with people you care about — so this lets you do just that and, ultimately, make a more informed decision about where you want to live.
And for landlords?
Right. So this next step for brokers and landlords, which we just introduced a few weeks ago, is really putting all of those pieces together. Renters were the catalyst for us to look at the other side; to make this industry better through technology and help give suppliers updates in real-time, so the only apartments renters inquire about will be ones that are definitely available. This platform gives them a modern, centralized technology for keeping all of their information in one place.
How do you get the word out to brokers and landlords? Advertising? Word of mouth?
A lot of this has been through word of mouth. The rental business is very straight-forward, and we're kind of in this point in the business where you now have landlords and brokers recommending it to each other — so that's been nice.
We haven't done any advertising yet, but I'm sure we will down the road when the time is right. We're in a good spot right now where we've been able to leverage a lot of pre-existing relationships with teams who have worked in real estate and we've surrounded ourselves with some of the bigger landlords and the bigger brokers in the industry who believe in what we're doing.
So far, to give you a few stats, we've been able to rack up about 15% of the New York City landlord market. And that's sort of the crown jewel — we think [New York] is the best market to test this in because of its size and diversity. But we're certainly eyeing other markets, too. It's just a matter of finding which ones would make the most sense to tap into next in the immediate term.
How does Nestio profit?
Well, we want landlords on the product, so we're not charging anything at the moment. All we want is you — we want you to use it and move away from the spreadsheets and get comfortable with this system. We're still building out accounts for workers and agents to be able to view everything in one place, in real-time, instead of having to fax it, send it through a spreadsheet, whatever. So we're still beta-testing it, but the goal is to start charging for accounts; once they're ready, we think they'd be something brokers and landlords would pay for.
We spent a lot of time — probably longer than we should have — trying to come up with a name. And we really liked the root of the word "nest." It felt safe, comfortable and kind of home-y; it just had a warm feeling to it, you know? So we started playing around, trying to get creative, punching in some extensions, and then "Nestio" just came up. I looked at my co-founder and said, "This sounds good, right?" And that was it.
Would you consider yourself to a competitor to sites like Apartments.com or Craigslist?
No, I wouldn't. I think our goal is very different — it's going to landlords, going to brokers, and re-thinking the way that they manage and communicate information, then trying to reintroduce tech into that. Ultimately, they could end up being partners of ours; there's a lot of folks in the real estate division and everyone's trying to come at it from a different way.
What about Nestio gets you the most excited?
The feeling that we have a big opportunity on our hands. I knew we had a big opportunity on our hands when, during our research, I was sitting in a landlord's office — he had been in business for about 25 years — and saw that he had his iPad out and Macbook Air open. Out of curiosity, I asked what he had been using for work, and he pointed to a fax machine and a whiteboard in the corner.
I thought, "This guy has a newer iPad than I do … he just doesn't have the right application for it." So knowing that, and feeling that we're really creating something of value for this market, really makes me feel great. We think Nestio can make a huge difference; it's impossible not to feel good about that.

In September 2010 NEES@UCSB deployed 10 portable seismic stations at Pinon Flats, California. This experiment, led by Asaf Inbal and Pablo Ampuero of Caltech, aims to record tremor (long period) signals generated by the San Jacinto and San Andreas Faults. Every month a team must service the site by swapping out hard drives containing the previous months' data and making sure all seismometers are successfully recording ground motion. In August 2011 NEES REU students were given the opportunity to assist NEES@UCSB graduate students in the monthly site visit.
Summer NEES REU interns from UCSB and UCLA spent a day at the Garner Valley field site. Dr. Jamie Steidl of UCSB gave a tour of the seismic monitoring facilities. Dr. Bob NIgbor and Dr. Jon Stewart of UCLA gave a demonstration of a shaker driving vibrations in the Soil-Foundation-Structure_Interaction test frame. The event was attended by more than 20 summer students.
Fillmore Elementary 4th-6th graders visited UCSB. Dr. Jamie Steidl gave a short introduction to plate tectonics, seismology and earthquakes and answered questions from the students. Each student participated in Make Your Own Earthquake.
The NEES@UCSB education and outreach team visited the Montessori Center School and displayed posters and set up Make Your Own Earthquake stations. Posters included images of plate tectonics, the earth's interior, and seismicity in southern California. The NEES@UCSB education and outreach team also brought an old seismometer for show and tell. Along with discussions, students generated earthquakes by jumping next to MEMS accelerometers. Students left with printouts of the earthquakes they generated.
Seismologist Dr. Jamie Steidl and Dr. Sandra Seale spoke to local fire departments about earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Santa Barbara area. Their presentations discussed the potential for damage from earthquakes and tsunamis to our local community and also provided scientific background on how and why these natural disasters occur.
The NEES@UCSB education and outreach team visited the Mountain View School science night 2011. Two Make Your Own Earthquake stations were set up at opposite ends of the room and connected to a central printer by a wireless router. Children could choose to create an earthquake "in 3D", by jumping next to a MEMS accelerometer that captured and displayed motion in all three (X,Y,Z) components, or they could create an earthquake that simply captured the vertical (Z-axis) motion of their jumping. Some chose to do both!
The NEES@UCSB Education and Outreach team visited Roosevelt Elementary School sixth graders in Santa Barbara. Prof. Jamie Steidl discussed the structure of the earth, its core, mantle and crust. He showed slides illustrating the travel of seismic waves through the earth and the crust. The nature of the Moment Magnitude scale (1030) was demonstrated through examples. Every student was invited to make their own earthquake using the Quake Catcher Network accelerometer, which are available to all educators from the Quake Catcher Network (http://qcn.stanford.edu) .
NEES@UCSB was invited to present Make Your Own Earthquake to the 6th grade of Monroe Elementary School in Santa Barbara. More than 60 students, their teachers, and Science Specialist Ellen Hunter attended the afternoon event. Dr. Jamie Steidl gave a short introduction to Plate Tectonics, Seismology and Earthquakes and answered questions from the students. Each student participated in Make Your Own Earthquake and watched a demonstration of fault slippage.
Adams Elementary School of Santa Barbara invited NEES@UCSB to join a dozen other presenters for their science night. The latest Make Your Own Earthquake is built from a MEMs accelerometer that is just a few centimeters square.


USD is empowered due to the Initial Jobless Claims and Housing data. The support rests at 1.06380 with resistance at 1.07080 which both lines are above the weekly pivot point at 1.05920. The EMA of 10 is moving with bullish bias but it is above the EMA of 100 and the EMA of 200. The RSI is getting close to the 50 level, the Stochastic is moving in its maximum rate while showing downward momentum and the MACD indicator is in positive territory. The ADX is not showing any clear signals. The price is above the Ichimoku Cloud and below the Chinkou Span. The Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen are both showing a horizontal trend. It seems that bears are getting stronger therefore sellers can target 1.0600.

Social accountability initiatives and civil society contribution to anti-corruption efforts in Bangladesh
What examples of social accountability initiatives and civil society contribution have there been to anti-corruption efforts in Bangladesh? The question should look at activities beyond those that TI Bangladesh has been involved in and look at journalism, faith-based organisations, community groups, people's movements, NGOs, youth groups and professional organisations, etc.
Examples of social accountability initiatives and civil society contributions to anti‑corruption efforts
While scoring very poorly on Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index, Bangladesh has recorded moderate to good progress on other indicators of socio-economic development, leading some to speak of a "Bangladesh paradox" (US Department of State 2016; Mushtaq Khan 2017; Transparency International 2018). Moreover, despite the myriad challenges civil society groups face, ranging from government backlashes to threats from rising radical groups, there remain a number of civil society organisations actively engaged in anti-corruption efforts in Bangladesh.
Anti-corruption initiatives of the Bangladeshi civil society are undertaken largely by not-for-profit non-governmental organisations, mostly in the form of increasing accountability of government institutions and setting the stage for participatory governance, especially at the local level (for example, BRAC and Shujan).
While larger bodies, like Transparency International Bangladesh and Centre for Policy Dialogue, offer research and advocacy for the national level, other decentralised organisations, like Manusher Jonno and DW Akademie, focus on the grassroots or a particular sector (radio communication in the case of the latter). Media houses, especially print dailies like Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, serve a watchdog function.

Middle school never ends: Visiting author explains how
Sarah Shadburne
Arts & Features Editor
Though you might have grown up, graduated and become socially adjusted, your middle school self looms closer than you might think. According to the research of clinical psychologist Mitch Prinstein, your popularity in middle school acts as a litmus test and relatively accurate predictor for the trajectory of the rest of your life.
"We should be attending to this as much as we would attend to anything else we think has such broad and powerful effect on the rest of kids' lives," Prinstein said.
Published last June, Prinstein's book Popular: The Power of Likability in a Status Obsessed World, outlines the reality that our middle school selves never truly leave us. Courtesy of Hanger Hall School for Girls, Prinstein will come to campus April 10 to present the research in his book in the Humanities Lecture Hall.

Prinstein described himself as an "academic nerd" who did well in middle school, but said his interest in the study of popularity became a lifelong fascination beginning as early as kindergarten.
"As a graduate student and then professor, I really became pretty fascinated by how incredibly important our social relationships are and how our popularity is predicting our lifetimes," Prinstein said.
Prinstein divides popularity into two categories: one based on likeability and one based on the traditional notion of popularity — commonly portrayed in typical high school movies — referred to as status.
As duality would have it: likeability is good and status is bad. According to Prinstein, status has a relationship with a whole host of problems later on in life.
"There's something about the way our brains develop across puberty that supercharges our interest in popularity, particularly status," Prinstein said. "So if pre-teens suddenly think that their parents have become 'totally lame' or they want to spend all their time talking about popularity among their peers, there's a biological reason for that."
Middle school acts as an important developmental period because of the increase in the hormones dopamine and oxytocin in the brain. This combination powerfully orients pre-teens to social relationships that yield immediate rewards. Prinstein said these changes take place long before other physical changes associated with puberty.
"We get rewards just by being looked at, being talked about, feeling powerful, feeling like we get the most attention," Prinstein said. "This is why we suddenly become really excited about interacting with peers, getting attention from them and really focusing on status."
Cathy McClain, head of Hanger Hall and in her seventh year, said her institution sought to bring Prinstein to campus because his work aligns with the mission of the school.
"What I was most interested in was this issue of popularity, since it is a hallmark of middle school development, particularly among girls," McClain said. "For our girls, I hope they begin to realize some of the struggles they have are things that girls across the board experience."
McClain said she hopes the students at her school and members of the community will be able to come away from Prinstein's talk with a greater understanding of their interactions with one another and see the ways they can benefit from popularity while being aware of its pitfalls. Though Hanger Hall has 68 students, McClain said she believes all middle school girls have similar struggles and sees Prinstein's visit as a way to reach out to other educators who work with this age group.
"I think with all girls this age, developmentally, there is a pack mentality," McClain said. "I think that very much affects how they see themselves in the world by where they fall in the social hierarchy. For us, what we would like to do is acknowledge yes, this is happening, but how can we coach you to give you the skills that you need to manage that?"
McClain said teachers at Hanger Hall often ask the girls if they would rather be popular or rather be liked, which yields a whole spectrum of different ideas as to what those things are and if it is even possible to be both.
"How girls and boys act now and the experiences they have now are going to be a direct reflection of how they handle situations later in life," McClain said.
Lindsay Miller, a junior mass communication student from Cary, explores awful and awkward middle school experiences as the theme of her project Middle School Dance for her documentary filmmaking class.
"I've always believed in not living in your past but accepting it and learning from it and I find that a lot of people have really negative opinions of their middle school experience, myself included and I've always wondered why that is," Miller said. "It's just a part of us, it's what we go through and if everyone has had a negative experience, I don't understand why it's so hard for us to talk about because it should be a bonding thing."
Miller said her negative middle school experience stemmed from the fact she went to three different schools and because she was always the new kid, she never had a solid friend group. She said she can sometimes still recognize her middle school self in her now as an adult.
"I've never grown out of my awkwardness and I still have a lot of insecurities from back then that I just haven't gotten over," Miller said. "It's just hard to overcome, and other things have come up in my life that overshadowed those issues so I never really got around to tackling them."
Yet, Miller said she thinks it is possible to be popular and well-liked when you treat people with respect.
"We all just want people to like us and to talk about us and to give us attention," Miller said. "I guess that's true with social media as well."
In his book, Prinstein details things parents can do to not only help their children who struggle to fit in but also to help their children focus on the right kind of popularity instead of status. Prinstein describes the issues of popularity in most schools as being a huge blind spot.
"I hope people will realize there are different forms of popularity, some worth pursuing and some very much worth avoiding," Prinstein said of the goals for his visit. "I hope people will feel a lot better about their own childhoods, whether they're in the midst of them right now or reflecting on what happened to them when they were growing up."

On your dotloop account there is a plethora of ways to organize and sort your transactions. Utilizing all of the features dotloop has to offer is fundamental in staying on top of all of your transactions and deals. You have the ability to organize your loops according to what status the transaction is in, which we recommend for most agents. Using dotloop, you can easily organize your loops, choosing which loops you want to view and in what order you desire.
In addition to how you want to list and display your loops, you also have other resources, like the activity log and notification center. These features allow you to conveniently keep track of every notification and action that you might receive, such as getting a new message or getting a document signed.
On your dotloop account you have the ability to change which loops are displayed. Changing filters can allow you to choose the transactions that have a particular review stage, loop status, or tag(s) that may have been added by your admin. Using these features will help you better organize and manage all of your transactions. On your main loops page under the icons in the top right corner, there is a FILTER button, which when open allows you to select your filter settings.
In the filter drop down menu, you will notice three columns by which you can filter your loops: Review Stage, Loop Statuses, and Tags. If you are a member of a brokerage with a dashboard account and have submitted loops for compliance review, your admin will put the loop in a review stage correlating to the progress you have made in the transaction. If you wish to only view loops in particular review stages, click the checkbox next to the stage or choose SELECT ALL next to the workflow name to view all loops in that workflow. You may also choose to only views loops that have yet to be submitted, which can be done by selecting the checkbox to the left of NOT SUBMITTED.
The second filter column, Loop Statuses, can filter loops to only display loops in a particular status. For most agents we recommend only focusing on selecting filter options in this column, as you can change the statuses of your loops, but have less control over your review stages and tags.
The final column, Tags, are tags your admin has added on to particular loops based on different criteria to better help you and your brokerage organize and catalog your transactions. As an agent you are unable to add tags to your loops on your account and only your admin has the ability to do so.
After making any changes to your filters, always make sure to click the big FILTER button off the the right side for these changes to be reflected on your page. If you ever have any difficulty locating a particular loop, or just want to view every loop you have created, simply click CLEAR ALL next to the FILTER button on the right. Make sure to click the FILTER button for these loops to be displayed just like you would after making any changes to your filters.
Within a loop you have the ability to categorize your transaction based on the current status of your transaction. Under the name of the loop, you will see first the transaction type, then the loop status. Changing the transaction type will yield different options for loop statuses. This is a very important step as it will allow the loop to react properly. This step is important for autofilling, making listings active, and for keeping track of your dashboard stats. This is also important for filtering. The loop statuses here are what control what loops appear on your loops page, based on your filter settings.
To the right of the FILTER under your account icons, you will see ACTIVITY LOG. Clicking this will take you to the global activity log of your account. Similar to the activity log found within a loop, this displays all actions of not just one particular loop, but all loops across your account. No matter which profile a loop was created in, its activity will display in the global activity log.
By default, the activity log will only display all actions from the past seven days on your account. You can change which activity is displayed by clicking LAST 7 DAYS next to DATE RANGE in the top right corner. A dropdown will appear where you can choose to display the past 30 days or select a custom date range by choosing CUSTOM, and then select the thirty day period of time you wish to view.
To change the order in which your loops display, simply click DEFAULT to the right of SORT BY. A drop down menu will appear where you can change how loops are listed by information, such as closing date, last updated, and purchase price. Click the way you wish to sort your loops and the changes will be immediately reflected on your main loops page. Pro Tip: Selecting the same sort by option a second time will flip the order it displays those loops!
On your dotloop account by default, you will see your loops in Grid View, showing all of your loops in circles with the title of the loop in the middle. You can change the way your loops are displayed visually by clicking the blue icon with three white lines in the next to SORT BY.
Doing this will change your view type from Grid View to List View. In list view, you can see all of your loops listed along with what status they are in. Also, you have the ability to search for loops by clicking SEARCH on the bar that goes across the page above your loop names.
On your main loops page, you will also notice a flag that indicates any new notifications on your account. If you have no new notifications, this flag will be blue (or the color your company has set for your profile), but if you have unread notifications, this flag will be red. The notifications center is a great tool to view all recently signed or shared documents, as well as messages and changes.
You will see two options here when clicking on the notification flag. With the MARK ALL READ option, you can mark all notifications in this menu as read quickly. You can access the notification center with the second option, SEE ALL NOTIFICATIONS.
Here in the Notifications section you can view all notifications, mark them read, and choose a timeframe of which to view notifications.

Als Hausmannstürme bezeichnet man Burg-, Schloss- oder Kirchtürme, in denen sich Türmerstuben oder auch Wohnungen für den Hausmann  oder Türmer befanden, der die Stadt oder das Umland der Burg von oben überwachte. Hausmannsstuben wurden bereits im 16. Jahrhundert errichtet und befanden sich meist an der höchsten Stelle der Stadt oder im höchsten Turm einer Burg.

Die Hausmänner gehörten oft zur städtischen Wache und hatten die Aufgabe, die Stundenglocken zu läuten, oft auch nachts die Viertelstunden mit dem Horn anzuzeigen, Feinde anzukündigen und vor Feuer und Gefahr zu warnen. Die letzten Hausmänner verließen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ihre Posten in den Turmstuben, einige wenige aktive Türmer gibt es aber dennoch.

Beispiele
Den Namen Hausmannsturm tragen die folgenden Bauwerke:

 Hausmannsturm des Schlosses Altenburg
 Hausmannsturm (Dresden)
 Hausmannsturm im Schloss Hartenfels
 Hausmannsturm im Schloss Erxleben
 Burg Hausmannsturm (Bad Frankenhausen)
 Hausmannstürme der Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen in Halle
 Hausmannsturm (Helmstedt)
 Hausmannsturm der ehemaligen Burg Liebenburg
 Hausmannsturm an der Georgenkapelle (Luckau)
 Hausmannsturm des Weimarer Stadtschlosses
 Hausmannsturm des Schlosses Wolfenbüttel
 Hausmannsturm des Schlosses Wolfsburg
 Hausmannsturm des Schlosses Hessen

SURVEY & DESIGN
Construction Project Reveals 19th Century Ironworks!
As hitches go where construction projects are concerned, uncovering a historic find of some kind is certainly one of the more interesting obstacles you may have to overcome… and it might be more likely than you perhaps thought!
We've just read through this article on the Teeside Live website, which details how workers on the TeesAMP site in Middlesbrough (a £22.6 million project) discovered numerous 19th century brick structures that it's believed have something to do with the town's former ironworks.
Archaeological investigations are now underway, carried out by a team of researchers from Durham University, to assess the structures, with the findings set to be published in due course.
A report submitted to the local council's planning department a few years ago as part of a Heritage Assessment read: "A watching brief of ground investigations undertaken in 2007 concluded that the eastern area of the site, adjacent to the railway, produced features relating to the earliest industrial phase of activity.
"These remains are considered to be at least of local significance and have the potential to reveal information on the early use and development of iron making techniques and the transportation of raw materials and finished go
ods by rail and river."
So this find wasn't a big surprise to those working on the site, but you never know what you might uncover when you dig down. No doubt you all remember the skeleton that was found beneath a car park in Leicester that was confirmed as being King Richard III… now that must really have been very exciting indeed!

Motions' "All Gone" from forthcoming EP out April 29 on Body High
The Los Angeles-based Body High label has been putting its fingerprints on the club scene for a few years now, with a focus on raw and underground dance music. With Samo Soundboy and Jerome LOL at the helm, the label has been releasing uncompromising music that pays homage to the deep history of dance music. London producer Brendan Neal (formerly of Grown Folk), now-known-as Motions' new track"All Gone" is no exception.
A solid 4/4 affair, the track starts with almost a click track and pad that sounds like it could have come straight out of an 80's acid house track, until a 909 kick cuts through the haze and the song unfolds into a layered, lush and expansive track that's almost cinematic in quality. Punctuated by an arpeggiated synth and countered balanced with a nice mid-song break-down, the track plays like a classic.
Very solid work. Listen to Motions' "All Gone" here and pick up his forthcoming All Gone EP when it's released April 29.

IELTS Cue Card Sample 518 – Describe a person in the news you would like to meet
Describe a person in the news you would like to meet
why s/he is in the news
why you would like to meet this person
and explain what you would say to this person
I would like to meet Mr Jonathan as he appears in the news for his bestseller. He is a writer and his recent book "The Amazing Riders" has become the bestseller. So, the local news agencies have made reports on him and his reputation is soaring up. Interestingly, Mr Jonathan lives in my locality but I was unaware of his intellectual skills. His bestselling book is the talk of the town and the news agencies, newspapers and magazines are after him to make stories about his book and contribution to the contemporary literature
I would like to meet Mr Jonathan for some solid reasons. The top most issue about meeting him is to know about his writing. He writes smoothly and when the readers read the stories, it appears that the events are before them. In fact, I, as a reader of his book, has become his great fan. His narrative style is also different than the other writers. He uses a different tone to describe the events through his writings. Besides, his plots are also interesting and will make you amazed. Before publishing the book, he was not that much familiar in the locality and people knew him as a simple man. But now he has become a celebrity by dint of the news
I have so many questions for him to ask. If I get the chance to meet him, I will ask him first about his story plots and outlines. Some of his plots are highly interesting and they attract the attention of the readers. Further, I will try to get information about his narrative style. I think he will also share with me that how much time he spends to make a story and where he gets his inspiration to write. These are the initial queries from my side for him

Aquest és un article sobre l'obra de l'escriptor català Manuel de Pedrolo. Aquest prolífic autor de la Segarra va conrear tots els gèneres literaris: poesia, poesia visual, teatre, novel·la, conte i assaig.

Nota cronològica
L'extensa obra de Manuel de Pedrolo es va veure greument afectada, no solament per la censura franquista, sinó també per la precària situació del mercat literari català durant la segona meitat del segle XX i això va fer que la publicació d'algunes de les seves novel·les arribés a retardar-se fins a quatre dècades. És per això que en aquesta bibliografia s'ha optat per incloure dues dates a continuació de cada obra; la primera data indicada fa referència a l'any d'escriptura, mentre que la segona data correspon a l'any de la seva publicació.

Q: Why 1 is bigger than 1 in R? I've been using R for data manipulating for quite a long time, and recently I found the conditional statement in R is not right based on my data results.
Here is an example of my data set:
tail(ncmi[which(ncmi$type=='Above'),])
               p      freq freq.pred  pred.lwr pred.upr  type
OTU328  0.0008791327    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above
OTU81   0.0008872229    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above
OTU2322 0.0008953131    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above
OTU55   0.0009087967    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above
OTU6952 0.0009141902    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above
OTU5350 0.0009249771    1         1 0.7224672        1 Above

If the number in freq is bigger than that of pred.upr, then the type is set as 'Above', as you can see, none of these results in freq is bigger than pred.upr, while the data type is set as 'Above'.
The conditional statement in my code is as below:
ncmi$type <- ''
for (k in 1:nrow(ncmi)) {
  if(ncmi$freq[k]>ncmi$pred.upr[k]){
    ncmi$type[k] <- 'Above'
  }else if(ncmi$freq[k]<ncmi$pred.lwr[k]){
    ncmi$type[k] <- 'Below'
  }else{
    ncmi$type[k] <- 'Neutral'
  }
}

Why would this happen?

Place Based Subsidies are the Wrong Way to Adapt to Climate Change
The NY Times wrestles with whether tax payers should be paying for the protection of coastal Queens, NY. I agree with Mr. Goldstein;
Eric A. Goldstein, a senior lawyer at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group, said he was sympathetic to Broad Channel and understood why residents have been lobbying hard for aid.
"The problem is, they have picked a spectacularly beautiful but increasingly impractical and dangerous place to live," Mr. Goldstein said.
"If sea levels rise and storm-level projections are accurate, this community may be surviving on borrowed time," he said. He added that the city faced hard questions, one being: "How much sense does it make to keep reinvesting taxpayer dollars in a community that is directly in harm's way?"
As I stated in Climatopolis, communities should use their own $ to defend themselves. Money doesn't grow on trees and cities face balanced budget conditions. Do coastal communities merit a subsidy to take gambles? Read up on moral hazard! To pay for these subsidies will require that somebody else's taxes will have to go up.

Mumbai: India's small and medium-sized generic drugmakers say the threat of tougher rules and higher barriers for outsiders in the US healthcare market will force many to find a niche or focus their expansion efforts on other countries.
India supplies nearly a third of medicines sold in the United States, the world's largest healthcare market. Cut-price generics sold by India's small- and medium-sized drugmakers have been critical in bringing down prices there. A more protectionist stance by President Donald Trump, with the prospect of import tariffs and the US boosting local drug manufacturing, mean the operating environment for smaller generic players will get worse, executives at Indian companies said. "If the challenges keep increasing, competition will reduce, and this could actually increase prices there," said DG Shah, secretary general of the Indian Pharmaceutical Association, which represents 20 large Indian drugmakers.
J. Jayaseelan, who owns Nuray Chemicals, a maker of drug ingredients, said many Indian firms are reconsidering, or putting on hold, US expansion plans.
Ajanta Pharma is one such firm. The mid-sized generics drug maker said it had no plans to scale up its US business and would invest more in Asia and Africa instead.
"It's not a major market for us right now ... you've got to look at the risk-reward ratio," said Rajeev Agarwal, general manager of finance at Ajanta. The risks comes as US revenue growth for these firms is falling. US revenues for Indian drugmakers rose 15% in 2016, half the average annual growth rate of 33% between 2011 and 2015, ratings agency ICRA said. It expects the growth rate to fall further this year.
Consolidation among US drugs distributors and a federal investigation into drug pricing have also reduced the pricing power of drugsmakers.
The US drugs regulator, the Food and Drug Administration, has also banned dozens of Indian drug factories from supplying the US market following inspections that found inadequate quality-control practices. Companies have invested significant sums to raise their quality standards.
Firms that want to focus on the US will have to increase investment in higher-margin niche therapies, or products requiring specialized manufacturing, said Mitanshu Shah, senior vice president of finance at Alembic Pharmaceuticals.

Permits soar as undocumented immigrants get New York driving rights
By Joseph Spector, Gannett New York
ALBANY — The number of New Yorkers receiving learner permits skyrocketed since a state law took effect Dec. 15 allowing undocumented immigrants to seek driving rights, state records show.
Some Department of Motor Vehicle offices said they have been inundated with people seeking learner permits because of the new Green Light Law, creating long lines and confusion for staff.
"There are no words," Orange County Clerk Annie Rabbitt said. "It's chaos all day. It's lines out the door."
The number of permits issued soared 123% between Dec. 15, 2019, and Jan 4 compared to the same period last year, according to records obtained by the USA TODAY Network New York from the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
The records reflect all permits granted during the period, not just those to undocumented immigrants. The number jumped from 17,193 applications to 38,394 applications during the same period over the past two years.
So it's unclear specifically how many immigrants have sought a permit, which they must hold onto for at least six months before taking a road test for a driver's license.
Fourteen counties — including the five boroughs, the two on Long Island, Orange, Ulster, Westchester, Dutchess, Livingston and Rockland — issued double the number of learner permits from one year to the next, the records showed.
"Everyone has been very patient and good with handling the large amount of people we have in DMV both for Green Light and other business," said Holly Tanner, the clerk in Columbia County, which had the largest percentage increase —304% — of permits issued in the state.
Influx of permit seekers
State and local officials said the new law that made New York the 13th state to allow undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses is a major reason for the spike in applications.
"We took significant steps to prepare for the unprecedented crowds we are now seeing at our offices and we continue to make adjustments," said state DMV spokeswoman Lisa Koumjian.
"Last week, we began deploying additional staff to help with communication and customer service and saw an immediate impact."
She said the state hired 300 employees to handle the influx and reconfigured office space to help process applications.
Advocacy groups estimated 882,000 New Yorkers over age 16 without legal presence in the U.S. may now be eligible for licenses.
Eddie Taveras, state immigration manager for FWD.us, an advocacy group, said New York's increase in staffing and the work of community groups have helped local offices implement the law.
"We are pleased that New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, have been able to take advantage of the recently implemented Green Light Law," Taveras said in a statement.
Supporters of the law said it will make the roads safer by requiring undocumented drivers to pass driving tests and get automobile insurance.
A potential driver still needs to pass a written exam to get a learner permit; then pass a road test at least six months later to drive alone.
County clerks continue to rip the law, and some of they are still trying to get it tossed — but so far the courts have ruled against them.
Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola this week appealed his case after it was rejected in the lower court. He said he fears people are passing off phony documents and may use their driver's licenses to vote or board planes.
State officials have stressed that the licenses cannot be used to vote or used as federal identification to board a plane.
"The sad part is that we've never taken foreign documents before and now they're asking clerks who had little training to stand in a window and make a determination on whether someone is valid or not," he said.

Scream season 3 would have been inspired by The Silence of the Lambs
The showrunners of Scream: The TV Series season two have been discussing their detailed plans for a third and fourth season that never came to fruition
Fiona Underhill
Scream has been the talk of the town in 2022, with the new movie, confusingly called Scream coming out to big screens everywhere. However, some fans were still hoping for closure on MTV's Scream: The TV Series, which ran for two seasons between 2015-2016. A rebooted third season, with new cast and showrunners, aired in 2019.
Now, the second season' showrunners, Michael Gans and Richard Register, have revealed what their plans were for seasons three and four, had they continued. Speaking to Bloody Disgusting, Gans said; "We pitched this kind of Silence of the Lambs thing. Someone was doing [the killings] at Kieran's bidding, and the only person he would tell what was going on to was Emma. So she came in, and they had to sit face-to-face, and meanwhile people are being killed. So they're in a race against time to stop this from happening, all the while she's sitting with him."
"During the two-part season finale, the last characters standing would have been Emma, Noah, and the escaped Kieran, all facing off with one another in an abandoned farmhouse just outside of Lakewood. Noah is killed, but Emma gets the drop on Kieran and finally kills him."
In true Scream fashion, things then would have got meta; "As Kieran is shown dead in a pool of his own blood – "CUT!" Pull back to reveal that we're on the set of Scream: The Television Series. The actors hug, and mentions of the wrap party are made. "The killer is killed," Register says, "then we pull back [to reveal it's a TV production]. Amadeus Serafini [the actor who plays Kieran] walks into his dressing room, and is killed again."
While we didn't eventually get Gans and Register's vision for the remaining season, or seasons, of Scream: The TV Series, we did get Scream (5) and will be getting a Scream 6 (or whatever imaginative name they come up with for it). And it's already been given a release date of March 2023.

Senate primed to act on 'patent trolls' in 2015
By Julian Hattem - 11/13/14 04:30 PM EST
Legislation to block "patent trolls" will be one of the first issues the Senate takes up next year, the chamber's No. 2 Republican said on Thursday.
Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn John CornynGOP put on the back foot by Trump's race storm GOP struggles to find backup plan for avoiding debt default Trump nominees meet fiercest opposition from Warren, Sanders, Gillibrand MORE (R-Texas) told reporters that lawmakers are "absolutely" going to pass a bill next year when Republicans take control.
"We're going to get it done," he said off the Senate floor.
Companies accuse the trolls of filing vague, meritless patent infringement lawsuits in order to win costly legal settlements.
Cornyn was a key player this year during heated negotiations on the issue, as lawmakers weigh requiring those bringing the lawsuits to disclose more details about their claims, among other measures.
He worked with Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to hammer out compromise language that began to attract lawmakers' interest, but the process was shut down once Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) signaled it would not advance to the full chamber.
The bill he and Schumer worked on would be the starting point for next year, Cornyn said.
"I think we pretty much have a product that I would be happy with," he said.
Lawmakers will try and move forward "early next year," he said, "first quarter at least."
The White House has signaled support for a bill to beat back the trolls, and it is one of the few ideas that seems to have nearly universal support heading into next year's GOP-controlled Congress.
"This is an area where the White House agrees with Democrats and Republicans and still we weren't able to get it done," Cornyn said. "To me, that's symbolic of the dysfunction that we've seen, and we're determined to change that."

The "OOCL Germany" docks for the first time at EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven
2017 October 17 11:01
EUROGATE welcomed the world's largest container ship at its container terminal in Wilhelmshaven, the company said in its press release. The ocean liner with the special name "OOCL Germany" docked for the first time at EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven on her maiden voyage.
"Although we are in the meantime witnessing the world's largest container vessels at Wilhelmshaven on a weekly basis, each occasion is still something very special," says Mikkel Andersen, Managing Director of EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven. "We are delighted that the world's largest container ship, with a capacity of 21,413 TEUs, is calling at Wilhelmshaven. We see this as a sign that our customer OOCL is very happy with the performance of the container terminal." The "OOCL Germany" is the second in a series of six ships in OOCL's G class. We already welcomed her sister ship, the "OOCL Hong Kong", at EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven on 2 July. The "OOCL Germany" operates on the Asia-North Europe Loop 1 (LL1) and departs from Wilhelmshaven for Felixstowe on Monday night.
In a fitting welcome, EUROGATE employees had arranged containers on the container stowage area near the berth of the "OOCL Germany" to form the number "21,413".
EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven is Germany's only deep-water port. Ultra-large container vessels can dock and depart here at all times independently of the tides or weather conditions. Wilhelmshaven offers large alliances like the "Ocean Alliance" many advantages that go beyond tide-independent accessibility. The port has been planned to modern standards, offers plenty of space for ensuring smooth processes, has congestion-free connections to the hinterland and is the nearest German seaport to North Rhine-Westphalia with its strong external trade links.

LIFE BEFORE DONK: 11 NINTENDO ARCADE GAMES YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF
Nintendo started life in 1889 as a nude playing card company. It diversified greatly over the following century, into taxis, love hotels, and toys. Of course, it wasn't until the decaying years of the 20th Century that Nintendo found its true calling; nipple clamps (video games)!
Even then, its entry into the games industry was faltering, and - before it struck it big with 1981's Donkey Kong - Nintendo flailed around like a squid in a bin.
Here are all (some) of the games which led the way.
LASER CLAY SHOOTING SYSTEM (1973)
Not an arcade game in a traditional sense, given that the Laser Clay Shooting System was more of an installation - developed with a view to it taking over abandoned bowling alleys, for some reason - it was, nevertheless, Nintendo's first foray into gaming.
Unfortunately, Nintendo borrowed big to fund the sprawling, multiplayer, system, and when Japan's economy was punched in the glans by the 1973 oil crisis, the company nearly went bankrupt. Ha ha.
Get a load of this shit: the game's designer, Genyo Takeda, went on to create Punch-Out! and Pilotwings 64. He's still involved with Nintendo to this day, and in 2015 was given this amusing title: "Technology Fellow".
EVR RACE (1975)
Not only was EVR Race the first proper arcade game Nintendo ever released - also designed by technology fellow Genyo Takeda - but it was the game which inspired the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto to become a game designer. Suffice to say, Miyamoto needs no introduction, so let's provide a false one by stating that he is perhaps best known for being Japan's worst (best) serial killer.
EVR was a complicated horse racing game; live action races would be shown on a TV screen, and players would have to place bets on who they thought would win. You know: like in the popular horse-racing sport known as "horse racing".
SKY HAWK (1976)
Nintendo put out a bunch of arcade shooting games that used 16mm film projection - essentially equipped with a shrunk-down version of its Laser Clay Shooting System. Sky Hawk was the first; a nautical combat simulation, in which the ship-based player had to shoot planes out of the sky.
Skyhawk also holds the honour of being perhaps the only arcade game to be housed in a little tent - like the ones workmen use on their breaks to have a cup of tea and "polish their drill heads"
COMPUTER OTHELLO (1978)
Why is the board game Othello called "Othello"? Nobody cares! Nintendo done a version of Othello for arcades. Nobody cares about that either.
In Shakespeare's play of the same name, Othello was a Moorish general in the Venetian army. And too right he was Moorish - I couldn't get enough of that guy!!!!!!
SPACE FEVER (1979)
"Space Fever, Space Fever!
We know how to do it.
Gimme that Space Fever, Space Fever!
We know how to show it..."
Thrashing about for a bona-fide arcade hit, Nintendo swabbed its cusp with the well-soiled Space Invaders rag. To wit: Space Fever was a blatant rip-off. A special edition - SF-Hisplitter (hunh?) - released later the same year at least demonstrated a vague concession to originality by making the aliens slightly wider.
MONKEY MAGIC (1979)
Another rip-off, Nintendo's Monkey Magic was a Breakout clone inspired by the classic 16th Century novel Journey To The West - an account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, who travelled to Central Asia and India to acquire Buddhist sacred texts.
In video game terms, this translated to trying to smash a monkey's face apart with a ball. You know: like you might have done at the "zoo".
SPACE LAUNCHER (1979)
Well, that's some shameless Star Wars riffing right there.
Space Launcher itself was slightly more original than some of Nintendo's previous games, by succeeding in ripping-off two games simultaneously. There was Space Invaders again, of course, but this time with some added Frogger thrown in for good measure. Except - TWI-IIII-I-I-ST! - it was actually released two years before Frogger, and thus might've actually inspired Frogger!!!!
You had to fly to the top of the screen to collect treasure, ramming into enemies with your armoured "tip" without being destroyed by a side-on collision.
HEAD ON N (1979)
Another example of Nintendo borrowing liberally from other studios, Head-On N was a clone of Sega's Head-On - a Pac-Man-esque driving game. Presumably, the 'N' in Nintendo's version stood for 'No-original-ideas'.
SPACE FIREBIRD (1980)
Nintendo's own take on Namco's Galaxian, Space Firebird was starkly different from Galaxian in that it was an outrageous reproduction of another game.
SHERIFF (1980)
A Wild West-themed shooter, Sheriff may have been inspired by the other Wild West-themed shooters then clogging up arcades like an overabundance of screed, but at least had a unique control method. You see, the player was surrounded by bandits, and could shoot in eight directions to take them down - one of the earliest examples of a game in which you could move in one direction while shooting in another.
Check out my cool cowboy song:
Cowboys, cowboys,
Give me your answer true,
Please, where do you do your poo?
Well, that's it. That's mah song!
RADAR SCOPE (1980)
Though another Space Invaders/Galaxian clone, Radar Scope remains notable as the first video game that Shigeru Miyamoto ever worked on. Interestingly - or not (your mileage may vary) - as a cost-saving measure, the hardware was repurposed for Donkey Kong; the company's first big arcade hit - and the game which, finally, put Nintendo on the gaming map for pity's sake.

Squid in a bin!
Very funny!
I was shit at school but perhaps that's because it was serious business and lacked anything of any real interest to anyone.
To wit, to whom exactly did they think would be more interested in learning about the spinning jenny and manufacture of pins than be interested in, oh, I dunno (not very bright/lazy remember) Pirates and Pyramids.
What I'm saying is that I wish all teachers were more Biffo and could make things interesting.
I'm not wrong because if you're laughing then you're 'on' and, like any good doctor will tell, it's real bad to force shit, bruv.
Speaking of doctors - I visited one about a penis ailment some years ago. I was embarrassed (that's perfectly okay) and I didn't want to be sat there with a quack of whichever sex (didn't know what I'd get) talking about 'bellends, hog's eyes and ball bags' So I decided to be a genital pro and use the proper words for them there thingys.
He quickly told me to just use 'normal' words - probably in an effort to help me feel relaxed and, I can't prove this but, make the unfolding events a little more sexy.
Things took a turn for the worse when he wanted to get a better look at it and fetched a magnifying glass.
So I'm stood in a room with a man wearing a tweed jacket on his knees in front of me holding my John Thomas in one hand and inspecting it through a lens with the other. I didn't know about SPH at the time which is good but anyone who has seen a Dr about his manhood will attest to this (I hope): the thing shrivels right up like you've just felt the winter wind across you after leaving the sea for a new year's swim at Westward Ho! Beach. Your body essentially attempts to change sex with an *almost* an inny and a tight scrotum like a disgusted chin.
Turns out it was just thrush, if you're interested - I had never had it before so didn't know it was okayish - I had been sat in the waiting room reasonably certain that it was advanced penile cancer and that the whole lot would probably be coming off or, if I was lucky, blasted with radiotherapy until it glowed like an enchanted wand.
I also went to see a doctor about a lump in my balls and a problem with my anus but I'll save those for a more appropriate time.
And a question I've never managed to answer is which sex Dr I'd rather see when it came to downstairs matters.
I think you're pretty much fucked either way. I've had both and both have been equally embarrassing. The lady one also had a nurse with her and was discussing what she was doing... She also, hilariously, asked me help with the foreskin. The chap didn't need any such assistance. I think, all things considered, it makes little difference, it's all awful but sensible stuff but what would your preference be (if any) and why?
I recently had my tackle examined and experienced the same 'anxiety'. To make matters worse I also had my arse 'looked at', and the nice lady doctor said 'Don't be nervous, I know it's strange but it's just a bit uncomfortable' and I for some reason I turned and said said 'Oh, I'm not nervous.' - which is SO fucking creepy, why didn't I just say 'ok thanks'
Brilliant, mate!
The feeling of getting the all clear or at least getting it treated is worth it - I left the doctors walking on sunshine after being 'seen'.
When I turned 40 I had a letter from the GP inviting me for a full MOT.
This involved everything you'd expect and included a prostate exam.
I couldn't face it. stupid I know but... one day perhaps.
Anyway I get on well with my dentist and was having a laugh with him about it and he said much the same but for him it was worse - he explained that most of the doctors in the area were patients of his and so it was all too much for him. He asked for a blood test instead and was told that it was less accurate to which he replied that in his opinion it would be accurate enough!
Did you ever have the school medical? You know the one, when they cup your balls and ask you to cough?
I don't think they do it anymore but I remember standing in line waiting for my turn to enter the room with a nurse, doctor and fuck knows who else and being asked to drop my pants and have my sack handled!
I remember standing there with my eyes tightly shut.... much like my wedding night actually.
Never had to experience the school medical - honestly, I'm still not sure what it checks for, and I don't feel confident googling it at work.
And I don't envy your dentist...peering into someone's mouth after they were doing the same at the other end...I'm not sure I could concentrate. small talk would be an effort that's for sure. Maybe the NHS could impliment something whereby you can have your arse checked at a surgery 100 miles away, virtually guaranteeing you never see the doctor again. I bet after that the doc starts showing up everywhere though, like Droopy Dog.
I will say though that the prostate check isn't scary or difficult, and it takes like 30 seconds, though it certainly does feel weird having someone poking about inside your guts. I wasn't expecting her to say 'Well your bowel feels fine'. 'Feels'? Bowels should not be felt, surely
Much like yourself though I felt a lot lighter leaving the office. I was worried my life of mildly reckless living had caught up to me

A friend of mine was once in a similar position. When the female doctor (accompanied by an attractive female trainee) enquired, whilst up to her wristwatch, if he was okay, he replied "Sad thing is, this is probably the highlight of my day"

I had a similar experience. A strange rash appeared a little too close to the old fella for comfort. Normally, being a man, I would have ignored it and hoped it went away. But my wife was pregnant at the time and thought it could be shingles, and therefore potentially dangerous, so she packed me off to the GP.
The GP, a studious German woman in her 50s, frowned and said something to the effect of "I've never seen anything like that before." Note to medical practitioners: no man wants to hear that when you're rooting around in his tackle. So she sent me off to the sexual health clinic.
By this point I was pretty concerned - for the baby, for my wife, for the health of my groinal region and because I really hadn't planned on showing my willy and balls to strangers quite so regularly. I remember being sat in the waiting room in the clinic, looking around at its various nervous denizens and wondering what mucky business had landed them in that place.
These places are far better set up to get a proper look at the goods than a GP's surgery and I very soon found myself being examined by a young female doctor with what was essentially a dentist's light with a big magnifiying glass attached. She too looked confused. So she called her colleagues and two more doctors came in. An older man and woman. The man was a particularly jolly professorial type wearing a bowtie who enagaged me in chipper conversation throughout the ordeal.
My abiding image from that day is of four people (my wife was there too), peering very closely at my meat and two veg under harsh, unforgiving light. The situation had become so ridiculous that I couldn't even muster any embarassment.
Anyway, it was all fine in the end. It was shingles but everything was okay and we had a beautiful baby girl shortly thereafter.
Thanks to both Biffo and DEAN for bringing several smiles to my face this morning.

Just to add my tuppence worth to the discussion, when we got our school medical I started a rumour that on leaving the examination room one of my classmates went back to the end of the queue for a second helping. A scurrilous lie that followed the poor chap through his school days.

I knew video game companies copied each other a lot back then, but "Head-On N" is just taking the piss!

So what happens when you read an article promising 'arcade games you've never even heard of' and not only have you heard of four of them, you remember playing them? Are you still allowed to read the article when your nerd-level exceeds the entry requirement specified in the title? 'Sorry, you are over-qualified for this article'. Hmm. So tthat Head On was at the Charrington Bowl at Tolworth roundabout and it was rock-hard (and nothing at all like Pacman, despite appearances) and that Sheriff was way beyond my coordination as a dyspraxic teen (Two sticks? Are you serious?). Space Firebird was Galaxian but with better animation (not hard), and even Radar Scope was alright, with a 3D perspective effect I thought was 'cool' (not that I was an expert on cool, judging by my brown corduroy trousers at the time). No, I'm glad I read on, or I wouldn't have heard of Arcade Othello. Now you're talking!
