Bethany Eisenberg Zeeb
President and Founder
After returning from Guatemala in 1998 with their first child Bethany felt the need to give back to others less fortunate and began a small effort to assist children in Guatemala. Each time she returns she wishes to do more. GAF has grown substantially and created deep connections with the programs they support in Guatemala with a specific focus on eliminating the root causes of poverty, malnutrition and child abandonement through education, job training, parenting support and child protection programs. Integral to all programs is the preservation of indigenous cultures, environmental protection and use of the Guatemalan Work force. Bethany has worked in the field of Water Resources/Engineering for more than 35 years, and recently retired from her position as the Director of Stormwater Services at VHB to volunteer full time as the Director of GAF. Bethany is also a sufferer and advocate for the awareness for M.E/CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Most important in Bethany's life is her entire family and friends, a source of joy and fulfillment on a daily basis.

Congressional race brings in more than $1.5 million
Matthew Albright
Three top Democrats have raked in more than $1.5 million and spent more than $700,000 so far in their campaigns for Delaware's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Former state labor secretary Lisa Blunt Rochester's campaign has brought in $573,597. Sen. Bryan Townsend, D-Newark, has hauled in $534,699 and ex-marine Sean Barney has netted $445,853.
Barney, a former aide to Sen. Tom Carper and Gov. Jack Markell, is catching up fast: In April, May and June, he raised $211,005 outpacing Rochester's $188,403 and Townsend's $176,171.
You can find profiles of the three Democratic candidates here:
Sean Barney
Lisa Blunt Rochester
Bryan Townsend
Townsend has spent the most so far, dishing out $287,066 compared to Rochester's $253,339 and Barney's $167,229. But that leaves him with about $40,000 less in his war chest than Barney and about $72,600 less than Rochester.
One noteworthy thing about Rochester's total is that it includes almost $178,900 in loans from the candidate herself. Without that amount, her campaign would have $394,697, behind both Barney and Townsend.
Barney has loaned his campaign $2,000, while Townsend has loaned his campaign nothing.
Hans Reigle, the former Wyoming mayor and the sole Republican in the race, is seriously outgunned. He has raised only $131,439 and spent only $74,687.
There are three other Democrats running — Mike Miller, Scott Walker and Elias Weir — but they are political outsiders and finance reports were not immediately available for their campaigns.
The figures come from quarterly filings with the Federal Elections Commission. They suggest a highly-competitive race between the three Democrats.
The candidates are seeking to replace Rep. John Carney, who has launched a heavily-favored campaign for Governor.
Barney, Rochester and Townsend will find the Sept. 13 primary is their toughest fight since Democrats outnumber Republicans 316,888 to 187,479.
Democrats have a series of packed primary fights on their hands, with candidates crowding into races for mayor of Wilmington and lieutenant governor, among others.

Roll for Mojo! Can he seduce Mr. Green?
Towering Barbarian
Roll first for Fortitude. Can he overcome his feelings of a quick well enough to make his mojo roll? o_O
Dana Lexa
I suspect this is where Mr. Green attempts to seduce Tip (with power)
I can't find the relevant strip, but didn't he once hit on Tip as Ira as well?
David B Huber
I seem to recall Ira calling Tip "pretty lady" once but the closest I could find is. http://skin-horse.com/comic/up-with-nothing-2/
Here's where he calls Tip "pretty lady."
http://skin-horse.com/comic/the-pagoda/
(I think "the ones that hit on me" refers to when Mr. Green was driving Violet.)
January 5, 2022, 1:05 pm	| #
Thanks for sharing these, David B Huber and matt w. Those were funny ones I'd forgotten about.
Never made a connection with Tip when he was Violet Bee…
Ira is a gracious host. 🙂
I missed something until just now.
Mr. Green said the wine was breathing .
IS THE WINE BREATHING???
Perhaps the more specific question should be "Is the wine alive and breathing?"
Looks like Mr. Green is going to get that drink with Tip after all!
ooh, good callback!
Yes, thanks for the ref, David B Huber!
codebracker
The 10 year callback
Oh so this is the loose end Green was talking about.
BMunro
wait. Does that mean he _predicted_ what Tip would do?
I think Mr. Green and Gavotte has predicted pretty much everything everyone has done. And I'm not certain they aren't working together, either.
Urlance Woolsbane
Possibly, although, given the difference in his attire, I doubt it
http://skin-horse.com/comic/the-best/
I knew it! I called this a few weeks ago. Mr. Green has no doubt found Tip's rise through the ranks highly entertaining, and was just waiting for the right moment to spring the trap.
Alphaghoul
I never realized Tip wore makeup, he's talking about makeup right?
Tip could be taking a covert look around the roof top with that mirror.
It's *called* multitasking.
Very likely, Duane. We know Tip moisturizes but I doubt he'd jeopardize his complexion with regular use of makeup. That's likely emergency concealer or some such (for just such occasions as this). 😉
You'd think Ira would be a chartreuse man….
khn0
ugh chartreuse… wait I forget is this one of this "we've always mistaken it for absinthe" or more of "mint sauce is tasty" thing?
Apparently there are two different kinds of chartreuse, both ostensibly flavored with (at least) "130 herbs, plants, and flowers." (Yellow chartreuse has a couple more flavoring agents than the green.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartreuse_(liqueur)
More than these main two, but it's all the same s…
I used to have it as these stupid "dare" you do when you're drunk and young and drunk on youth, with Suze or Chartreuse, a dare to drink one glas was one of the highest tier, far from Friesengeist (which is not as awful) or Poteen (which is awful but more flamable). Yeah it was silly.
Really it's not very appreciated unless you go to where it's produced (and even there people drink craft génépi).
…let's say we don't have a word for a color with the name of it and let it at this that all (that I know) literature quoting a use of it are english or american.
To make a comparison, it's a bit like David Hasslehof being appreciated.
Would you drink David Hasslehof?
Or listen, if that is even a thing that can exist outside Germany?
Jerry Aethers
That thing in the background wouldn't happen to belong to a certain mechanical person, would it?
Daibhid+C
Pretty sure that is the reality blindness device.
It appears to be the atomizer that was taken from Alaska.
Voila! The Man behind the curtain.
"You go and turn off the device, Panini, while I keep Ira busy."
jdreyfuss
I don't know if headbutting it until it breaks is the best idea. We don't know what the effect of a single massive dose, rather than a controlled release, would be.
Richard Barrell
I love this comic.
Dun-dun-DUN!
Funny possibility: Tip, having been promoted to the highest echelons of the Shadow Government, attempts to pull rank and order Ira to turn off the machine.
It would indeed be interesting if he actually did outrank Ira. But they said he had reached the highest tier, not the highest position. So he doesn't necessarily outrank him. Being a military man, Tip would never try to pull rank on someone on the same level as he – particularly someone who has been at that level much longer.
And speaking of pulling rank, Ira appears to no longer be in uniform (although his suit is the right color – I just don't see any medals, ribbons, or rank insignia).
"Being a military man, Tip would never try to pull rank on someone on the same level as he – particularly someone who has been at that level much longer."
Why? I thought it was the principle of military ranks and discipline (when not speaking of the elected ranks like in spain or ukraine)?
That is precisely the principle of military ranks. Perhaps you just didn't read my comment correctly.
If Tip and Ira are both at the same level of privilege in the organization ("the highest tier of shadow bureaucracy"), then Tip cannot "pull rank" on Ira, particularly since Ira has been at that level much longer. You can't "pull rank" unless you actually possess a higher rank to "pull".
Oh Ok, my bad, I lost in translation that level and rank were designing the same thing here.
January 4, 2022, 11:14 am	| #
Correct. I believe it's the case (it was during the US Civil War as I understood it, anyway) that in cases of ties in rank when officers need to figure out who has authority, it's done by seniority in that rank. There were instances in the Civil War when ranks were back-dated, presumably to give the officer in question a boost in exactly these situations.
He's outdoor and not wearing his cover. I would assume that means he's not in uniform.
The order of precedence is first rank and then seniority. Tip is still wet behind the ears and command sets the uniform.
Therefore if anyone is out of uniform it's Tip.
However, in the very highest ranks "uniform" is pretty much optional.
When he left wearing the military uniform, he was shown putting on a hat. That jacket is also cut more casually than the more formal military one he was wearing was, with a lower stance, two buttons, and color-keyed material buttons instead of brass.
Tip is no longer military, and doesn't have a uniform to be out of.
Duth Olec
When Tip went to visit Tigerlily, I actually kind of expected her to be the loose end he mentioned. Guess he's more on the ball on what's a threat than that, although it does still seem odd to me he's let Tigerlily go about freely given how much time he operated in her vicinity.
Mike Conner
Why do I get the feeling that device is made out of Mustachio?
skullthetroll
Is…. that Mustachios' old body? Guess they ended up salvaging it after all.
No. It's the atomizer from Alaska.
Anasigma's pretty big on salvaged gear. Echo Bravo and Alfa Alfa used Smart Unity's dual drone-controlling helmets when they seduced Valiant…I presume they were removed from Nick's helicopter body after Ira flew off with him.
So Tip is already familiar with it's operation! 🙂

Welcome to the boss level. Hope you brought your missile launcher. (Given the Wizard's fondness for backup plans, only direct force might work.)
You know, I kinda hate to say this, but Ira does kind of look like Dr. Fauci…
Kind of, but Dr. Fauci's hair is less pointy.
Jim Janney
No missile launcher, but he does have a jetpack.

Tip ~always~ carries a gun, so he really ought to have shot Mr. Green by now, a la Wizards. This entire war hinges on his continued direct involvement.
Tip could easily set in motion the end the war right now, saving countless lives and eliminating a murderer who is guilty of countless crimes that the law will never be able to prosecute him for. So, of course, the idea will never cross Tip's mind…
Don't forget – Ira uses therapy puppets too…
To deactivate, Tip's going high-ra. To reality blind, they can say bye-ra. But to tie up loose ends it all still depends on Tip's rooftop meeting with Ira.
bergerjacques
How long did Green pose as Ira without any of the Skin Horse team having a clue? How long were they reality blind?
Well, at the time, no one in Skin Horse had ever seen Mr. Green. I don't think most, or any of them, even knew who the head of Anasigma was. Remember Mr. Green used to be the shadowy figure that we never saw on camera, kind of like "Cigarette-Smoking Man" in X-files.
Submitted for your consideration: Two men at the pinnacle of power, but opposing sides.
One has youthful vigor, idealism and a dream of Lovetron.
The other has experience, wisdom and unlimited pragmatic plans.
They are about to clash in an epic struggle to determine the outcome of the New War and the fate of all mankind (for certain values of "Mankind").
But are the really on opposite sides? And are they really two men?
davidbreslin101
Watch out, Ira. Tip's packin' cephalosaurus.
(Will this be a case of Checkov's Dino?)
Tip seems to be at least a little surprised to see Ira up there. But he should have expected this the whole time.
Tip *should* have expected this, but I don't think he did. I think he thought he was "getting away with it", while Ira was presumably occupied elsewhere. As usual, Mr. Green was three steps (or more) ahead of everyone else.

Puma seeks a material edge in its supply chain
Puma, the German sports goods company, is searching for alternative materials it can make its products from, shifting from its traditional use of virgin raw materials like leather and rubber. In doing this, it is one of many companies in its industry seeking to find more sustainable ways to source and sell its products. But the journey Puma has taken may well have given it an innovation advantage over its competitors.
The genesis of Puma's sustainability efforts came from the attacks sports goods companies were receiving from activists regarding their use of Asian sweatshops. The company's initial attempts to engage with its supply chain were based on the industry playbook, auditing its key suppliers and putting good practice standards in place. But Puma went further than its competition in one respect: it sought to create a single model by which all of the company's external social and environmental impacts can be compared.
Puma chose to denominate its external environmental, social and economic impacts in monetary terms. As a result, the business is able to make comparisons of these impacts in a holistic way across the organisation. Plus, it gained insights on how to make business decisions, as it was looking at a much wider set of data than it had before.
One of its early lessons from the analysis was that its biggest environmental impacts were in its tier-four suppliers – those who source raw materials from nature. For a company that makes its sports shoes from virgin leather and rubber, this was pretty bad news. Both its key raw materials were competing for scarce planetary resources on many different fronts: land use, water, the greenhouse gas emissions of cattle, deforestation in order to grow cultivated raw materials, food versus non-food cultivation and so on. The list is potentially endless.
Puma's first attempt at using alternative raw materials resulted in the re-tooling of one of the company's most iconic products, the "Suede" shoe dating back to the 1970s. What Puma did was to dump the virgin leather and rubber used in the original. Instead, the rubber came from recycled tyres and the shoe's uppers were made from rice husk, a waste product from rice processing. The result was the Puma "Re-Suede".
The lessons from the Re-Suede were extensive. Every part of the Puma shoe-making process was impacted. Designers had to learn to work with new materials, which had to be sourced from different suppliers to the ones that Puma usually works with. The rice husk uppers made for a lighter shoe, compared to a leather shoe. As a result, shipping costs were lower, which Puma emphasised with new lightweight packaging for the Re-Suede. Overall, Puma estimates a savings of fifteen tonnes of carbon emissions for every ten thousand pairs shipped. And the consumer needed to be told a different marketing story. Thanks to the shoe's sustainability credentials, a shoe made from waste materials and which cost less to ship had a higher selling price than the traditional shoe, and consumers were happy to pay that because they were buying the overall story of how the shoe came about.
But the changes could go even deeper. What Puma has done through its environmental analysis is create an environmental profit and loss account, which monetises the impacts that Puma makes on a number of different factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, acid rain and smog precursors, waste and impacts on land use. In effect, these are all going to be negative on a profit and loss statement. By publishing its environmental P&L, Puma is simply stating what had been left unsaid before: most environmental impacts are free to the company, but if these externalities were to be valued, they would reduce the profits of a company in monetary terms. Puma's intention is to extend this environmental P&L to cover its social and economic impacts as well, some of which will be negative in monetary terms, while others could be positive.
Puma's work on its environmental, social and economic profit and loss statement has been done with assistance from PwC, the consultant, and Trucost, the environmental data specialist (and a Fronesys partner).
Will the world care about Puma's disclosures? Currently, companies are judged on financial profit alone. Many financial analysts have neither the understanding or the tools to know what to do with the depth and breadth of information on offer from Puma. In many instances, the investment horizon for decision-making is the quarterly report. One study found that of all the shares traded on the London Stock Exchange, 40% were held for less than 24 hours. Such short-termism is diametrically opposite to the long-term changes that a company like Puma is seeking to bring in place.
Many companies are seeking to find alternatives to their raw materials, as Puma is. But Puma has the advantage of a wholistic model that enables it to understand and value its decisions across financial, social environmental and economic dimensions. Of this stuff will capitalism be crafted in the next hundred years

Michel Nischan & Wholesome Wave
As the son of displaced farmers, Michel Nischan, CEO, Founder and President of Wholesome Wave, grew up with a great appreciation for local agriculture and those who work the land. He translated these childhood values into a career as a James Beard Award-winning chef, author and restaurateur, becoming a catalyst for change in the sustainable food movement. This week on "the business of The Business", Phil Colicchio sits down with Michel and picks his brain for a lively, insightful, and entertaining conversation. Learn about the history of the "farm to table" movement and how far we've come as a nation when it comes to the way we feed our population. This program was sponsored by The International Culinary Center.
"I was doing the whole farm to table thing in the 1980's in Milwaukee, WI. At that time, if you told somebody that you and your sous chef drove out to get roadside asparagus with a pig in the back of your van, [customers] wouldn't want to eat it. If you were doing farm to table, you were just weird!" [08:00]
"There are 50 million people that are so food insecure that they don't have money for food that allows them to live a healthy lifestyle. 1 in 4 children are living in poverty in this country." [21:00]
"Subsidies that go to processed food and big ag support the type of mechanization that actually eliminates jobs."

Air Force Sends Kim Jong Un A Message With Strategic Bomber Flyby
(U.S. Air Force photo/ Master Sgt. Kevin J. Gruenwald)
Ryan Pickrell China/Asia Pacific Reporter
U.S. B-1B strategic bombers flew past the demilitarized zone after North Korea tested its third ballistic missile in three weeks Monday.
U.S. and South Korean forces conducted joint drills Monday, the second exercise this month, reports the Wall Street Journal. North Korea called the move a "grave military provocation." North Korea said the U.S. is pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the "brink of war" with the introduction of B-1B Lancers.
The supersonic strategic bombers, deployed from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, are long-range, multi-mission aircraft capable of reaching Korea in 2.5 hours. The U.S. has maintained a continuous bomber presence in the region for decades as part of American deterrence posturing. North Korea often accuses the U.S. of preparing for nuclear strikes against it, even though B-1B bombers are no longer nuclear capable.
The recent flyby "clearly proves that their talk about 'dialogue' is nothing but hypocrisy to disarm the DPRK and their wild ambition to eliminate the DPRK with nukes remains unchanged even a bit," the Korean Central News Agency said in response to the actions of the U.S. Air Force.
"The US imperialist warmongers should not forget, even for a moment, that their increasing danger of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula would precipitate a disaster in which the U.S. mainland turns into a scorched earth," North Korean state media added.
The flight past the DMZ, which was confirmed by South Korean defense officials, came just hours after North Korea tested a new ballistic missile — a Scud variant. North Korea has successfully launched three new missile systems in three weeks — namely the new Scud, the liquid-fueled Hwasong-12 medium long-range ballistic missile, and the solid-fueled Pukguksong-2 mid-range ballistic missile — advancing the reclusive regime's ballistic missile program at an accelerated rate. The North also tested an improved surface-to-air missile system Sunday.
The U.S. sent a pair of B-1B bombers flew past Korea earlier this month and conducted joint drills with both South Korea and Japan in the wake of a failed North Korean missile test.

Marvel's Avengers Review: Heroic Treasure Hunt
Real Talk By: Cmack The Don
The Avengers from Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix is better than the movie tie-in video games of the 90s and early 00s, but not nearly on the level of Rocksteady's Arkham series or Insomniac's Spidey installment on the PS4 (shaking my fist like J.Jonah Jameson at the fact that one isn't all-platform).
We've been spoiled in recent years by single-player superhero games that are so high quality that we forget that something like The Avengers (2020), would've been considered well above average if not great in the not-too recent past. Continue reading "Marvel's Avengers Review: Heroic Treasure Hunt"

Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn Review
Real Talk By: The Wizard
In 2010 Square Enix released a plague of explosive diarrhea death upon the world in the format of video game. This game came to be known as Final Fantasy XIV Online. After FFXIV's original release gamer's protested, demanded their money back, and made threats to quit purchasing Square Enix products altogether. To call FFXIV a game is a bit of an over-statement. The game was considered by many, including myself to be broken, incomplete, boring, and undeniably wretched all around. The developers even lacked the ability to create a working map. With that being said i'm not going to even get into everything that was wrong with the game. I could write a novel on how awful FFXIV was. Square Enix owned up to how bad FFXIV was and in turn completely dropped the subscription fee to play, apologized numerous times, and vowed to completely change their development direction of the game in attempt to turn FFIV into an enjoyable game. Fast forward to the end of August 2013, and finally Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is here!
Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn (FFARR) is basically a complete re-work of the original Final Fantasy XIV for PC. FFARR for the most part is very similar to the original, but with lots of differences. Also, the game is now available for Playstation 3 with cross-platform play. So PS3 and PC users can be on the same servers and play together. Which is always a good thing in my opinion. There is a subscription fee after the first month, but it is said this may be extended. Most people out there reading this are probably curious if this game is worth the purchase, because if you purchased the original FFXIV you have probably already downloaded the game for free. So I am going to review this game as an all new game. I will not be comparing it to the previous FFXIV.
I have mixed feelings when it comes to the graphics in FFARR. From one perspective I feel the game as a whole, and especially the world look great; and on another token I feel like the character models, and a good amount of the enemies look very unappealing. There is also a great lack of tools to create a unique looking character. I personally feel like all the males in a specific race look the same, as do the females. The only way to really stand out is your armor choices, but even in the armor department you will not find many options to make your character stand out. One of the races are these giant looking guys that are this pale lime green color. They remind me of rotted the bags of chicken gizzards I use to throw away in my younger days when I worked at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. My main character looks to put it as simply as possible, dorky. All the human models look like typical JRPG characters. They either look like cutesy little characters, or beautiful young males complete with spiky hair or flowing locks. But I suppose the game is a JRPG so this is to be expected, so I will overlook it. One huge issue I do have though is that some of the cut scenes look like there is a background and the characters are pasted in. This is really annoying and unacceptable. I feel a lot of people will not mind these things, and to be fair, for the most part have nothing to do with how fun the game is.
As for the music Square Enix never really disappoints in that department. If you've ever heard a Final Fantasy soundtrack you have a good idea what to expect. I must say though that even though the soundtrack is good, it is not amazing. I don't feel the soundtrack has really made that much of an impression on me yet. To this day I still have fond memories of the FFXI soundtrack, most notably the track in the Play Online viewer options where there was a portrait of a moogle. I loved that track. The music in FFARR is neither memorable, or terrible. It is simply there, never really sticking with me through the day, or annoying me while I play.
I have been playing on the PC using a mouse and keyboard, but mostly using a XBOX 360 controller. And I must say that the XBOX controller works really well. You assign actions to the A,B,X, and Y buttons, and also the D-Pad directions. You can assign a total of 16 actions because in order to use the actions you simply hold L or R and press the corresponding button or direction. You can easily switch between action bars using the bumper button. So you can switch to a totally new set of 16 actions really fast. The only downside is of course typing. You really need a keyboard to type well. As for the Keyboard and mouse controls they are as you would expect. They work much better, but if you are sitting on your couch a keyboard and mouse is uncomfortable and annoying.
FFARR has traditional MMO gameplay. You will spend your days questing, and running around grinding your way through levels. And there will be a serious amount grinding once you hit the late 20's. Thankfully, there are ways to help level up faster. There is a duty finder which will automatically match you up with other players for raids. There are also hunting logs which award you extra experience for killing a certain amount of an enemy type in a specific region. Another way to level is a system called FATE. If you have played Guild Wars 2 this is basically the same thing. You run up and are automatically enlisted with all the other players in that location to fight a huge boss, or large wave of enemies. Finding the best FATE locations and hopping between them will be what you will be doing most to level quickly. Finally, there are also Leve Quests, which are quests you can take from a receptionist to level any of your classes, like your main combat character, or crafting, or job class. These are helpful but you are only allowed a few per day, but they can be saved. So you could save up 99 of them and do 99 quests in one day. Or you could do a few a day, everyday. I personally only use these for leveling crafting, and jobs. They are great for that when you run out of crafting quests.
As for the combat it is easily one of the games strong points. it's quite different from some of the older MMO games where you just stand still and take turns trading blows. You can actually run around and avoid enemy attacks which are represented by red lines. It reminds me a lot of Quest64 on Nintendo 64 if you have ever played that. Other than that though it is almost identical to every other MMO style combat.
Thankfully the crafting in FFARR is pretty good. The crafting system is basically the same as every other MMO. Find some items, combine them, make something new, gain experience. Repeat 10,000 times. except instead of just hitting a button and either making the item or blowing the items up, you play a mini game that involves a small amount of skill. You can choose to try to complete your item, or make it a higher quality. It is all based on a magic point system called Craft Points (CP), and when those run out you can no longer perform special actions to make a higher quality item. If you can make a high quality item it will sell for more, but you can also fail and lose your items.
The thing about the crafting though is that it all relies on job classes. Like mining, fishing, botany etc to get the items you need. So if you want to be a armorsmith you probably want to pick up mining as well to get the items you need for free to craft with, or sink thousands and thousands of gill into the market. I kind of like this system, but it can be annoying at times. The main reason is that you can not equip your heavy armor to go out mining, and you can't craft in it either. So you will need 3 sets of gear every 5-10 levels for all 3 classes. This is incredibly expensive. Then it is not till later in the game that you get the option to save gear sets. So you will have to equip all your gear every time you want to go out mining or crafting, until you unlock the ability to save gear sets. As far as gathering and crafting goes it is better than any other MMO I have played, but that doesn't make it exciting, it's just not quite as boring.
I'm not going to give the story away. I will just tell you it's boring. I don't care who lives or dies. I find myself trying to not nod off during cut scenes, and try really hard to not skip it if it ever gets good. Square Enix obviously has the skills to tell a great story. Where are the people who wrote the scripts for the previous Final Fantasy games? Vacation for the past 4 years?
I have mixed thoughts when deciding whether I would recommend this game to people. I feel that if what I said here does not bother you, and you are a MMO fan looking for a change, then you might really like FFARR. Just be warned that the game is not really similar to FFXI if you were a fan of that. For example this game is much easier. The thing that made FFXI a great game (even for me who does not like MMO's, but for some reason plays them all), is that it was more adult oriented. It didn't hold your hand, and you really had to work hard to get anywhere. This is not the case in FFARR. You will literally be breezing through the game compared to FFXI.
If you are looking for something different in the MMO department because like me you are bored with the same old grindfest then FFARR is not for you. There is nothing new or creative here to see. It is the same old tried and true system. I managed to make it to level 38 before I started to feel the dementia and alzheimer's setting in from lack of flexing a brain muscles. You will be better off holding out hoping Elder Scrolls Online has something new to offer, or sticking with FFXI. In the mean time I always recommend Eve Online for its depth and originality. It is by far the most complex game I have ever played, with excellent PVP, a rock solid and stable market, and awesome social aspects.
I personally feel FFARR is a decent MMO if you like the genre, but it is still barely making par. Furthermore the game doesn't even feel like Final Fantasy except for a few very minute details. I really wish I could lead a development on these games and just tell these people what to do. I really don't feel like i'm in a world that pertains to Final Fantasy, and I feel like the title is misleading. What would have been awesome is if the game actually took place in a Final Fantasy world. What if you could start in Midgar, or Mysidia? Or maybe if I could start as an Onion Kid and pick my path from there? With classes like Time Mage, Geomancer, Gambler, Ninja, Blue Mage, Paladin, Sage, Mime, Dark Knight, and Onion Knight? It would have been cool to have a story I actually cared about involving the crystals instead of some pirates that I care nothing about. I would have liked to fight Kefka, Sephiroth, Chaos, or the Magus Sisters. A raid in the Cave of Mist, Mount Ordeals, or the Shinra building would have been fun. Anything to make the game feel like Final Fantasy. Those are just my opinions though, maybe people prefer all new content that is not reminiscent of anything Final Fantasy.
The game plays pretty well, but lack of customization, boring story, and massive grindfest hold it back. The crafting although different and more exciting, is still boring and hard for every profession to make money. This seems to be the problem in most MMO's. Give people the ability to make products they can sell, and let the people fuel the economy! Eve Online can do this why can't Square Enix? The lack of innovation shows that the genre needs to move forward. Japan can't expect to keep churning out the same old games until the end of time and keep their fan base. It's time to move forward and turn the wheel a little bit and do something different! For those reasons the game receives an average score. The only thing keeping it from a lower score is the combat, and graphics.

Federico Del Cupolo (Naples, 1884-Milan, 1974) was an Italian orchestra conductor whose activity mainly focussed on Italian opera. His career developed in Italy and abroad spanning 60 years and including some recordings from the early 1950s which have been recently resumed for their historical and artistic significance.

Discography

In 1929 in Philadelphia he recorded the ouverture of La gazza ladra by Rossini; in 1951 he recorded with the Orchestra of La Scala the operas L'arlesiana and Adriana Lecouvreur by Francesco Cilea, the latter interpreted by Mafalda Favero, Elena Nicolai and Nicola Filacuridi.

In 1953, he recorded two operas by Puccini: La rondine with the Antonio Guarnieri Orchestra and Chorus of Milan, and Manon Lescaut, with the Turin RAI Orchestra.

After studying the key metrics including industries, website visits, documents which were downloaded by the individual sectors, we produced a dataset of the Top 10 Industries interested in mobile learning. Want to see the rest of the list, check this out here.
Human Resources has been faced with the aim of growing and evolving over the past few years. Because employees are the biggest asset to every company, HR communicates with employees from the pre-hire to the severance stages. HR is faced with an abundance of responsibility. Due to that responsibility, human resources are charged with duties such as relationship management, leadership, conflict resolution, communications, critical evaluations, and consultations. HR often heads up the training efforts for the entire organization, so it's not too surprising that mobile learning would factor into their areas of interest.
According to Deborah D. Waddill, Ed. D., the author of Digital HR: A Guide to Technology-Enabled Human Resources, many of these duties can be supported and enhanced by mobile technology. Waddill believes that executives, small business owners, and those with HR responsibilities need to use new methods to incorporate formal and informal learning, and leadership development methods– and what better way than via mobile?
Mobile Learning (or MLearning) is just what it sounds like– using a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) for learning (primarily be learners who are also mobile). One of the biggest reasons mLearning is so valuable is because as of January 2018, about 77% of Americans owned a smartphone, which is up 35% from 2011. Waddill argues that due to the increase in mobile devices, there is an advantage to using them for work: training.
Human Resources can use mobile learning to give remote employees access to company-wide webinars, give learning courses to employees who are commuting to the office or just give workers access to information they need to know while they are on the go. A few big benefits of mLearning can customize the delivery characteristics (i.e., online, blended), length (i.e., days, weeks, months), and structure (i.e., training, onboarding, mentoring, or social).
Federal Student Aid, FSA, is an office with the U.S. Department of Education. Recently they conducted Instructor-Led Training to help employees improve their critical thinking skills, but not all of their staff could attend. To fill this gap, FSA delivered the content to anyone who missed the opportunity, and they did so by hiring Designing Digitally, Inc. to provide an online and mobile course to the content.
Designing Digitally, used Adobe Captivate to build the solution. The developers designed the module in a non-linear structure so learners could navigate to any topic of interest. In addition, the course will records and bookmarks all topics and slides that the learner has viewed.
The application has buttons large enough to easily use on any smartphone, and the screen content is minimal to ensure that the content can load quickly when wifi or data connection is limited. It took additional care to direct disabled users to an accessible version of the content to increase inclusive and ease of use for everyone.
Now, all employees can access the learning material and work through it on their own time. There is no longer a need to schedule a specific room and time for employees to attend. The employees can just pull up the learning content on their phones and use as a reference- both at and away from their desks.
Float Assists HR Teams with their Mobile Learning Needs, Too.
Float also see potential in this area and has been working on creating a system for onboarding and training via an easy-to-use and customizable mobile app called SparkLearn®. SparkLearn®offers companies the opportunity to work alongside our developers to create a learning platform to train new employees.
Float understands that rapid delivery is essential for mobile learners in high-velocity environments, and it's platform, SparkLearn®, owns a flexible content management system (CMS), responsive web interface, and an intuitive mobile application. The app was designed with Float's renown capability of creating great mobile solutions for some world's largest brands, such as Microsoft, Nike, Home Depot, and more.
SparkLearn® allows for the import of assorted content, including training/onboarding content, documents, presentations, and lots more! The application interface is even flexible enough to support the content created directly within the system, and can be branded to match the identity of your company! The app can provide performance support tools like searching within the app and diverting information to find easily later.
HR departments will never have to worry or wonder if new employees are finishing their onboarding courses or modules again. All the user activity within the app is tracked with the industry standard Experience API (xAPI). In addition, it can also enable other analytics tools like Google Analytics to plug into the system so that managers and those within the HR department can keep track of a new employee progress.
Your company can write and distribute short-form eLearning content to mobile apps for iOS and Android (smartphones and tablets) and responsive web for desktop users.
With SparkLearn®, you can associate websites, PDFs, PowerPoints, and so much more alongside training courses for use as a job aid, performance support tool, and more. The flexible metadata makes everything within the app is searchable.
SparkLearn® can let users learn– even when they aren't connected to the Internet. Just sync your device when connected to Wifi and view the results later.
Your Learners can easily favorite and mark content for later review, enabling access to performance support when they need it. In addition, their usage and history are always available to them so they can view what they have finished and what they need to complete later.
So what do you think? What are your thoughts on how mobile learning is used within the human resources industry? Can you think of any other examples? Are you in the HR industry? How are you using mobile technology with your employees?


Thank you for considering my question in your online discussion. Further thanks for the invitation to contact you with further comment on linguistic rights pertaining to the Scots Language.
I write to you as an individual. I am an early career researcher in auditory communication, a participant in Scots language communities and a first language Scots speaker. I could relate to you a vast number of personal or second hand anecdotal testimony of linguistic prejudice in education and the wider community, but I would like to focus on some of the research that has been done into Scots language that may be particularly relevant to linguistic rights.1 For further research and opinion I suggest contacting the organizations listed at the end of this document.
I also wish to state my opinion that although Scots and Gaelic linguistic rights may be addressed within the context of general linguistic rights, they are languages that are native to Scotland we have an additional moral obligation to protect and preserve the languages and the rights of those who speak them.
Subsequently, I offer some interpretive opinion on why I believe speakers of Scots language need protection in a human rights context. I understand there is a limitation to time for submission of comment, so I present this in the knowledge that it is a rough overview of opinion and not a full research document.
Scots is a West Germanic language spoken in Scotland. It is recognised as a language by the Scottish Government, the UK Government and the European Union. It is protected under The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages – part II, but not yet part III.2 Presumably it should also be protected by articles 2, 10, 19 and 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and the Universal Declaration of Linguistic rights.
In the 2011 census a question on Scots was included. As the findings of this will be self reported usage of Scots, the attitudes towards Scots outlined below are expected to be reflected in the results.
Scots and Gaelic have also been included in two draft constitutions for Scotland, in one case as a rights issue.
It has a continuous literary tradition, traditionally dated from 1375 to the present5. It has its own grammar6, phonology, orthography and 22 volume dictionary of words7.
In 1996 it was estimated that 1.5 million people in Scotland speak Scots.8 In 2010 research carried out on behalf of the Scottish Government 85% of those surveyed identified themselves as speaking Scots at some point, the data is shown in figure 1.
When asked the degree to which Scots was spoken in their neighbourhood two thirds agreed that it was spoken "a lot", however there was a significant difference across NRS social grade groups.
Scots has a written form, however this is not systematically taught in schools. It should be noted from figure 1 that 68% of those surveyed never write in Scots, with only 2% claiming regular use.
There are currently no Scots language medium schools.
In written media Scots has suffered a relatively recent decline in extended prose19 with Scots being identified as being used as a tool for negative characterization "see Unger 2004 for further discussion of how Scots can be used for characterization in fiction, e.g. representing Scots speakers as uneducated, tough etc"20 Although there is continued prose use in the sole Scots language journal, Lallans, and online communities, in particular see the Scots Language Centre's website.
It may also be noted that as Scots language policy is left to the presenters to decide, given education is in the medium of English, the dominant ideologies towards Scots may determine their personal approach to how they best use language.
There are three findings from the "public attitudes towards the Scots language" study that indicate that speakers of Scots face delegitimization and being negatively perceived when using their natural speech.
A picture that emerges from the studies shown above is that Scots is spoken by a large number of people in Scotland, but most people remain illiterate in Scots. Spoken Scots is linked to socio-economic status and it is available as an indicator of social standing. There is a strong minority who are opposed to it being used in schools, and its usage is significantly reduced in more formal settings. I don't believe that it would be a great leap to interpret this as suggesting that Scots is deemed inappropriate for social interaction outwith family and friends. When combined with the substantial numbers who hold "negative perceptions" about Scots and the view that Scots is "not important" this suggests that there may be a social impediment to those who use Scots inappropriately.
As Scots is spoken at home and with friends this will continue to be the first language children acquire in up to 85% of households in Scotland. With there being no Scots language medium schools or nurseries in Scotland children's first experience of interacting with the wider world will be, in the best case a lesson that their language is valued, but not appropriate; or in the worst case that it is wrong and bad.
I have been unable to find research on the number of people who are monolingual in Scots, those who are unable to speak the standard of English required by our education system. However, I do suspect that this may be reflected in Scotland's literacy figures. From my own teaching experience I have found that making the distinction between Scots and English language helps learners with English literacy. This observation is also noted in the report by Itchy Coo.
By specifically recognising and protecting Scots speakers right to full expression in their own language, spoken and written, I believe we can encourage people to "come to voice" about a wide number of unspoken rights issues and work towards a more engaged Scotland.

Sreesanth is undergoing rigorous training for his comeback in domestic cricket: Tinu Yohannan
BCCI ombudsman D.K. Jain revised Indian cricketer Sreesanth's life ban to that of seven years, which is expected to be uplifted during September 2020.

BCCI ombudsman D.K. Jain revised Indian cricketer Sreesanth's life ban to that of seven years, which is expected to be uplifted during September 2020. As per the sources, Sreesanth is extremely optimistic and eager for his comeback in the game.
On September 13, 2013, the cricketer was banned for life by the BCCI due to the IPL spot-fixing scandal that shocked the fans worldwide.
Sreesanth tweeted a heartfelt note, wherein, he said, "I will never ever cheat cricket even when I am playing a friendly match. I don't ball easy ones or try to lose. So pls get that right with everyone. I'm completely free of any charges nd anything nd now gonna represent the sport I love the most. I will give my very best to."

— Sreesanth (@sreesanth36) September 10, 2020
Kerala cricket team coach Tinu Yohannan emphasized that the cricketer will only be selected on the basis of merit and his fitness. However, the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has not received any formal communication regarding the removal of the ban from the BCCI yet . "Sreesanth has shown the keenness to play by training hard and keeping himself fit," Kerala coach Tinu Yohannan told ESPNcricinfo.
The 37-year-old has been training rigorously with the Kerala U-23 during the COVID-19 2020 lockdown. Sreesanth is determined to ensure that he is able to represent India internationally once again by assuring the fans that he will give his best in every single delivery as a bowler going forward.
"After a long wait, I can play again but there is no place in the country to play now. "I even planned to organize a local tournament in Kochi this week so that I could step out onto the field, but decided against it looking at the risks involved, as the number of coronavirus cases in Kerala is increasing," Sreesanth said.
