Top 15 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
Chandan 6th December 2022 Leave a Comment
Top 15 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far – Hey guys!. In this post, I'll be discussing a list of Top 15 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far. Fully packed with games that rank 90 or higher that money can buy. Now then, let's begin briefly by covering our number 15 to 11 entries before getting in-depth with the final 10. So, let's get started.
15. Splatoon 3
Splatoon 3, not counting Octo Expansion has the best single player campaign in the series. With all the weapons from Splatoon 2, more stages at launch than ever, improved gameplay and generally expanding on everything Splatoon and Splatoon 2 had to offer. Add to that an excellent soundtrack to match and you have an instant Nintendo third-person shooter classic.
In other words, this was the perfect conclusion to the trilogy which has been surpassing all sales expectations and performing like no other new IP since Animal Crossing. Sadly, the game has some major online issues and because of this, it is on the opening of this list.
14. Celeste
A true indie gem which debuted at the same time on the Nintendo Switch. An emotional masterpiece which is simple to pick up with accessible controls that are easy to use but hard to master. The story is a real classic and will challenge your gaming skills, pushing you to conquer the mental mountain with its puzzles and hazards alike.
Celeste has its own unique niche and flavor, an experience that most games aren't really providing. Let's also not forget the beautiful soundtrack that seamlessly blends it all together.
13. Kirby and the Forgotten Land
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the legendary pink puffball, Kirby, we finally got the game we were all waiting for. A 3D Kirby game and a really good one at that! Filled with brilliant stages, powers, and most of all, transformations. You can turn into cars, vending machines, and so much more.
This is not only one of the best Kirby games to date, but also one of the best platformers on the Nintendo Switch as a console. Packed to the brim with a charm that only Hal Laboratory is able to provide in a brand new installment to the franchise. And add to that a solid post game, well, you got yourself a Kirby game that will be remembered for a long time.
12. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
With this release, we know that 3D World was made for the Nintendo Switch. Not only that, it came with a vast array of improvements, including game speed and online multiplayer. With this version, we will never play the Wii U original again. Primarily, since this game includes a brand-new adventure which if it was standalone and longer, would have been even higher on this list.
Bowser's Fury. Fury Bowser has taken over Lake Lapcat, and three big areas await Mario to collect Cat Shines. With every new one in our possession, we can make a bigger stand against the corrupted King. Literally. We turn into a gigantic Cat Mario and fight kaiju style until there is just one left standing. It doesn't become more epic than that. Also, as close as we have ever gotten to open-world Mario.
11. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The release of this game couldn't have been better timed as it was the ultimate escape from the grim reality that was 2020 and 2021. Offering us in theory an endless Island Getaway package where we can build the island of our dreams, invite friends over and visit and take inspiration from other players around the world.
In other words, a solid game after the free 2.0 update. But why has it fallen out of the Top 10? Two massive problems. No more updates making the game essentially dead, compared to the long-term support of past Animal Crossing titles and still one island per console limit to this day.
10. Fire Emblem: Three Houses
The game that even got a Warriors title in 2022. It is that good, though not for everyone. But it did everything it could so that Fire Emblem Engage can bring back the heroes of old. Providing battles, maps and cutscenes in the same seamless style, this title granted a new level of immersion to an already fantastic series.
With memorable characters and three pathways that are radically different, this game truly makes you question if you selected the "right" path upon the crucial time skip. This is mainly due to its strong and memorable house leaders – Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. As a strategy title, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a return to gameplay form.
With battle scenes that finally feel like an actual battleground instead of just duels. Right here, you get real value for your money as the adventure that awaits you in Fodlan and its bittersweet reunions is just that good and longer than most other games on this list, too.
9. Monster Hunter Rise
Monster Hunter Rise. In essence, World on the Nintendo Switch. Nothing wrong with that as World was an evolution that we missed out on a Nintendo system. The missions are grand and bold with a large variety on offer. The hunting has been vastly improved, even when compared to World.
Capcom truly made many of the weapons far more viable, allowing for dynamic strategies that no one can get enough of. The Hunting Horn, Dual Blades and Gunlance feel far more interesting to use, thanks to special moves that are unique for each weapon type.
And don't get us started on the game changer that is the wirebug. All Monster Hunter games are a commitment when it comes to time, but it feels instantly rewarding when you do so and Rise is no different.
8. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
The best Xenoblade Chronicles to date? Well, definitely from a mechanical perspective as the deeply touching story of a group of doomed warriors from opposing sides facing the true enemy is just splendid. A story that is up there with the original, a serious tone and with characters and voice acting that just screams Monolith Soft.
Numerous quests and most of all, side quests that feel far more rewarding than in past titles and combined with a combat party than ever before, and additional heroes, you have the elements that makes this game stand out from 1 and 2.
Once again, the soundtrack met expectations and the same goes with the massive scale of the world which is 5 times the size of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The fact that we got this game as early as July 2022 as the first follow up to a major mainline franchise on the Switch speaks volumes.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Switch Edition, or alternatively known as the last great thing CD Projekt Red did before the Cyberpunk saga. The Switcher is a truly impressive title, with the expansions Blood and Wine and Heart of Stone. All of these somehow managing to fit on a 32-gigabyte game cartridge. No extra downloads required. That's pretty impressive.
Yes, 2015's Game of the Year is a little rough visually, but it remains the most detailed open-world games on the Nintendo Switch. The music, characters, writing, main quest and even greater side quests are just like they are on the other systems. Geralt of Rivia's battle against the Wild Hunt and other foes in Velen, Novigrad, Ard Skellig and Touissant offers so much value.
If handheld play is your jam, then there are few games can beat the Switcher and even on TV, it is ok if graphics aren't everything to you.
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Who doesn't love Mario Kart? Especially when the game is still alive with an active online community and Nintendo providing even more with the value for your money in terms of the Booster Course pass that will last until the end of 2023. That being said, we are judging the base 60 dollars in terms of value here as the overall package.
However, keeping a game alive well over 5 years since its complete version + bonus content is a true testament of the quality of this title. Even without the DLC, we have the most tracks and racers in any Mario Kart game to date, along with the first non-Mario and Donkey Kong inclusions ever. Oh, and let's not forget the solid battle mode providing all the tracks we missed on the Wii U version.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with around 50 million copies sold, is simply Nintendo's equivalent of GTA V and Skyrim in terms of commercial success. The never-ending stream of money has halted the release of the next title until the successor system, however.
5. Metroid Dread
The story of Metroid goes on after Fusion and its many questions regarding the X-parasite, the Chozo and Samus herself. Thankfully however, nearly everything was answered in Metroid 5. This was the game everyone thought was dead until Nintendo revealed and released Metroid Dread in 2021.
The best 2D controls, and arguably the best gameplay in the series is combined in an adventure that, for a change, doesn't go from the top to bottom of a planet, but instead goes from core to surface after landing on planet ZDR. This is a game built out of love and respect to the franchise and in return, we got brilliant level design and boss fights as a result.
In other words, we absolutely had to include the first new 2D Metroid game in 19 years in a high spot on this list. Spain's MercurySteam has truly shown that Metroid thrives best when offered to talented studios outside of Japan as the passion for Metroid lives all around the world.
Specifically, 3D Games like the upcoming Metroid Prime 4 developed in America by Retro Studios and future 2D Games developed in Europe once again by MercurySteam.
4. Persona 5 Royal
We are getting close to the 95+ gang but before we do so, let's go over a few honorable mentions. Roll the music! Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Super Mario Maker 2, Tunic, Triangle Strategy, HADES, Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Persona 5 Royal. After 5 years of waiting, we finally got mainline Persona on the Nintendo Switch.
And as an apology for our patience, it was the Royal version which is just packed with content and godlike music. 100 hours or more? Easy, as this is the perfect life sim and turn-based J-RPG title. But you already knew that. What makes Persona 5 Royal special on the Switch is how good of a port it is.
Unlike The Witcher 3, it doesn't feel like a downgrade anywhere as the art style is as made for the system and the Japanese handheld dominated market. This is simply the realization of the Potential of Persona but also based on the support that we have seen from ATLUS in the recent years it is clear that this is a match made in heaven.
Persona 5 Royal's gameplay and story is so good that it forces us to only mention the other great third-party ports of the year so here we go. Portal Collection, Nier Automata Yorha Edition, No Man's Sky and Game of the Year 2021, It Takes Two. We simply had to sacrifice some for Persona 5 Royal on Switch, and we find even more Persona in our next entry.
3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Thanks to amazing updates, care and even better fighters pass 1 and 2 characters, it takes a spot on the podium. But it still does that even without the Joker, Banjo, Sephiroth, and Sora paid DLC. This game is Masahiro Sakurai at his best, all to ensure the Special and Ultimate titles of the game.
A truly endless game that is the perfect party activity for chill, no matter if you play casual or For Glory battlefield with no items. Bringing more fighters and stages than ever before, a nearly endless list of music tracks and better remixes of these. And obviously, refining the mechanics of the beloved series to be the Ultimate.
Thank you, Sakurai, as you continue to provide the best fighting experience and deserve all the success you have received including on your YouTube channel! The only real downsides with this game is the story mode, World of Light, and the online experience which has remained troublesome since release.
2. Super Mario Odyssey
One of, if not the best addition to the Mario series we've ever had and definitely its best celebration of both past and present. Taking all of the classic aspects of legendary titles like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., NES, Mario 64, and more. Super Mario Odyssey brings them to a new level with modern and creative ways of playing.
Travel through hugely diverse kingdoms, each with their own enticing theme music and use Cappy to capture and take control of any enemies and NPCs along your odyssey. The ultimate blend of modern and classic can be found here in this title, with nostalgic 2D sections calling back to the plumber's humble roots.
This is all contrasted by the beautifully modeled modern style of enemies that bring the brilliant 3D platformer that the series is known for. The only backdraws of this game is the number of Kingdoms as this is a game that you never want to end and the slight lack of substantial updates.
In return, however, the DLC we did get was completely free! On top of all of that, this game boasts one of the best post games in any video game ever. But it is still beaten by…
1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
This masterpiece remains until Tears of the Kingdom – the best Nintendo game since Ocarina of Time in 1998 that changed this beautiful industry the most for the better. All by introducing the concept of the open-air. Or running, jumping, climbing and gliding. Breath of the Wild is the Zelda game that will always be remembered as the time Nintendo joined the Game of the Year winners at the Game Awards.
The only Nintendo game to date to receive the Oscar of Gaming. And for good reason too, as this title revolutionized the franchise when it came to game design and challenged conventions that were in desperate need for an update. The interactive sandbox is absolutely genius and with the physics engine, next level enemy AI and blood moon to revive them, the world never ends up empty.
Even after hundreds upon hundreds of hours of playtime, there are still reasons to return to this title and our original save files from 2017. Combine this with the most sophisticated physics engine in any action-adventure title, and you have an endless game. We have been living in Breath's Hyrule for well over 5 years now, and will continue the quest for just as long in Tears of the Kingdom.
The excellent gameplay and lack of limitations is what sets Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom apart from the competition. And yes, Tears of the Kingdom's main task was always to address Breath of the Wild's shortcomings such as Dungeons, fragmented story, and recycled boss and enemy designs. Until then, Breath of the Wild remains the King of the Switch.

Black + Bold
Bob Hearts Abishola's Gina Yashere on Being Her Authentic Nigerian Self Before Hollywood Thought It Was Cool
By Keisha Hatchett / February 5 2021, 2:55 PM PST
Black and Bold: Celebrating TV's Game-Changing Creators
What to Watch: Black History Month Specials, Movies and Documentaries
"We're changing the hearts and minds of old white people in middle America," Bob Hearts Abishola co-creator Gina Yashere says of her groundbreaking CBS series.
The sitcom (airing Mondays at 8:30/7:30c) is the first broadcast network show centered around a Nigerian family. It follows Bob (Billy Gardell), a sock businessman, who falls for his nurse Abishola (Folake Olowofoyeku) while recovering from a heart attack. Their unexpected love story mirrors the fortuitous chain of events that brought Yashere to the series.
Co-creator Chuck Lorre, the man behind hit shows like Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, knew he wanted to make a series about a Nigerian family, but needed someone who could bring authenticity to the potential show. After Googling "female Nigerian comic," he found Yashere and flew the burgeoning comedian in for a meeting. Yashere, who made a splash in comedy with several Netflix specials and a Daily Show appearance under her belt, was baffled at the unconventional way in which Lorre discovered her.
"In my head, I was like, 'Are you f–king kidding me?' But in the room, I was like, 'Oh, interesting. Okay,'" she recalls.
Yashere had been called in to consult for the series, a role she was ready to turn down out of fear that it was exploitative. "It's like these three white guys — are they just trying to rape the culture and put out some bulls–t? I don't want my name attached to it, and I don't want to be taken advantage of, so I was sizing them up, and they were sizing me up," Yashere says.
It wasn't until she actually sat down with Lorre, who was receptive to her ideas, that she realized his true intent was just to make a really good show. The meeting also changed Lorre's mind about Yashere's role with the series. The mega producer initially asked her to be a consultant as a way of gauging whether or not he could tolerate being in the same room with her for more than a day. After the meeting, Lorre immediately hit up her agent with a counter-offer: Yashere would be co-creator, executive producer and writer for Bob Hearts Abishola. (She also co-stars as Abishola's best friend Kemi.)
It may have been her first time creating a series, but Yashere says she wasn't at all fearful of her new role and took to it "like a duck to water." Empowered by her promotion, the genial entertainer also made it clear that she wanted at least half of the cast to be Black, and that the series would have Black writers attached. CBS has been heavily criticized for its lack of diversity both on screen and behind the scenes — the network recently announced a new initiative to commit at least 25% of its budgets to BIPOC creators for the 2021-2022 season — and Yashere looked to make her series more inclusive.
"I said to them, 'Look, you discovered me. I'm not the only me out there. You've given me a fantastic opportunity, and I'd like to turn around and give back, bring in other people and give them the opportunity to succeed in this arena,'" the comedian says.
Rather than throw out a list of names, Yashere invited Lorre to comedy clubs she was headlining and added her friends to the lineup. The clever move led to fellow comedians like Gloria Bigelow and Ibet Inyag joining Yashere in the writers' room.
Now airing its second season, Bob Hearts Abishola is a story of success. It has found a steady home in CBS' Monday night lineup alongside The Neighborhood, All Rise and Bull, and proved that America — especially white America — could embrace a show about Nigerians being authentically themselves. For Yashere, the idea that a major network would give a show like this a shot felt out of reach for years.
"Before Bob Hearts Abishola, I was out there pitching shows about my culture and my upbringing and my family, and nobody was interested," she says. "Now it's opened doors because now everybody's looking at our show and going, 'Oh, we can do shows like this and they can be successful, and all of America can enjoy the show.' It doesn't have to be just Black people or just Nigerians. Everybody can enjoy the show for what it is, which is a great show."
From Tubi's educational animated series Bino and Fino to Netflix's riveting romantic drama Fifty: The Series, Hollywood is finally embracing Nigerian stories like never before. Progress is also being made behind the scenes with creators like Insecure's Yvonne Orji, who made a splash with her HBO special Momma, I Made It and is developing a series based on her life for Disney+. Yashere, who is good friends with Orji and was originally asked to play her mom in the series before it reached Disney, is glad to see others like her finally reach their come-up after years of grinding away.
Now at a place where she can comfortably say no to projects she is either too busy for or not interested in, the TV producer has some wise words for those who wish to follow in her footsteps: "Keep hustling, and do not let the people who are considered [the ones who] control things in the industry tell you what you can and can't do. Doors have been shut in my face and I'm like, 'Fine. I'm going to carve my own door.'"
That meant putting together her own comedy specials, like 2008's Gina Yashere: Skinny B—h, before Netflix and Showtime were knocking at her door. She booked the theaters, sold the tickets and hired her own team including a producer, director and camera crew so that when it came time to sell, she owned the rights to all of her materials. It all goes back to Yashere's mantra of making things happen rather than waiting around for success to come to her.
"I've always been like, just do it for yourself. Don't wait for those in power to validate you. Do your own thing. Make your own way," she adds.
Yashere admits that it hasn't been an easy journey. She's faced her fair share of critics trying to silence her voice, but through it all, the Bob Hearts Abishola showrunner has remained true to herself.
"I've always been a little bit outspoken," she says. "I've been told by people in the past, 'Why don't you just put your head down and keep your mouth shut?' But I don't regret it because at the end of the day, I'm unapologetically me, and I make it on my own terms. I've always been true to myself. It's taken longer, but it's a lot more satisfying."

Jane Campion Set For Art Directors Guild's Cinematic Imagery…


Acknowledging that a previous law did not go far enough, Defense Department proposes new rules to protect service members from high-cost lenders.
The Department of Defense released proposed rules today targeting the practices of a broad range of high-cost lenders and prohibiting them from charging service members interest rates more than 36 percent.
The new rules would have a substantial impact. A Defense Department survey earlier this year found that 11 percent of service members reported taking out a loan with interest above 36 percent in the past year. The survey also found service members were a prime target for such lending: generally young, not financially savvy and often stretched by trying to support a family on a tight budget.
In our story last year, we focused on the case of one Marine who, in order to borrow $1,600, agreed to pay back $17,228 to an auto-title lender over two and a half years – a loan at 400 percent interest. When he could not keep up the payments, his car was repossessed. Under the new rules, it would be illegal for payday and auto-title lenders to make such longer-term loans at steep rates.
The new rules would also restrict installment lenders, who aren't covered at all by the current law. Because of the law's exclusive focus on short-term credit, installment lenders have been free to charge service members interest rates far above 36 percent, as well as lard loans with nearly useless insurance products that serve mainly to boost the cost.
Installment lenders, whose loans typically extend for five months and longer, often provide loans to service members. World Finance— one of the country's largest installment lenders and the subject of an investigation by ProPublica and Marketplace— said last year that about 5 percent of its loans, or approximately 40,000, were made to service members or their families.
In a report last spring, the Defense Department, citing ProPublica and Marketplace's investigation, said installment lenders' practice of wrapping in pricey and unnecessary insurance products was one reason to extend the scope of the Military Lending Act.
While the new rules will have a very broad scope, there are two notable exclusions: residential mortgages and "purchase-money" loans, meaning financing to buy a vehicle or other personal property. (These are different from title loans, which offer cash and use a borrower's car as collateral.) The exclusions date back to the original Military Lending Act language, said Tom Feltner of the Consumer Federation of America: The law gave the Defense Department the power to define what sorts of loans are covered but excepted those two types.
ProPublica published an investigation earlier this year of one major retailer, USA Discounters, which has a large customer base of service members. The company's loans, made to finance electronics, appliances, and other sorts of purchases, also include add-on products that inflate the cost. Because the company makes loans to finance the purchase of its products, it wouldn't be affected by the new rules.
Overall, the new Defense Department rules constitute a "strong and important step," said Feltner, but added that regulators will need to remain vigilant and respond to types of credit not covered by the new rules.

Francis G. Hancharik
| Tuesday, July 31, 2018 |
Francis G. Hancharik (83) of Lansing, NY, passed away on Saturday, July 28, 2018, at Cayuga Medical Center, Ithaca, NY. Born in Barnesboro, PA, he was the son of the late Michael and Anna (Mehal) Hancharik. He moved to Ithaca and graduated from Ithaca High School in 1954. An accomplished athlete while at IHS, he was a stand-out starting pitcher and fullback for the Little Red. His exploits on the diamond and field, well documented in the Ithaca Journal.
Frank joined the US Army in 1958 and rose to the rank of SGT. His unit, the 2nd Armored Division out of Fort Hood, TX, was part of the peace keeping forces in West Germany. When asked, he would fondly reminisce tales of tank driver training, exploits with townsfolk at the local bier gartens, and how he never connected with Elvis even though they were stationed in the same area.
After discharging from the army, Frank made his way back to Barnesboro where he would meet the love of his life, Anna L Weakland. They married October 3, 1964, and then moved to Ithaca shortly after that. He worked with his brother, John, at Colonial Cleaners in Lansing. Later, he worked with Wyllie Dry Cleaning and then The Mall Dry Cleaners.
He was an active sportsman, participating in many Ithaca area sports leagues throughout his adult life. During the seventies he was a pitcher for Morris' Men's Wear in the Ithaca Men's 30+ slow pitch soft-ball league. He was also involved in many area bowling leagues throughout Groton, Trumansburg, and Ithaca. A highlight of his bowling career included a 298 game at the Bowl-O-Drome.
Frank was an active member of the American Legion Carrington Fuller Post 800 in Groton and the Knights of Columbus, Ithaca, where he was a third-degree Knight. He was a faithful parishioner of All Saints Church in Lansing, and Immaculate Conception Church, Ithaca.
Frank is survived by his children, Kenny Hancharik and Kathleen (Scott) Hollister; grandsons, Dalton Hollister and Alex, Kyle and Corey Hancharik; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Anna and by six brothers (Victor, Joseph, Andy, Mickey, John, Marty) and two sisters (Mary and Genevieve).
Friends and family are invited to a graveside memorial service at 12 noon on Saturday, August 25, 2018, at Calvary Cemetery, 636 Five Mile Drive, Ithaca, NY 14850.

Bow Wow And Kim Kardashian: Rapper Admits He Thought About Suicide, Talks Possible Hook Up With Reality Star [VIDEO]
By Char Little
Bow Wow has shared a very intimate and shocking portion of his past in which he considered ending his life.
In a candid interview with DJ Vlad of VLAD TV, Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, opened up about contemplating committing suicide.
"I was in a dark space," he said. "Right around that third album. I was done."
As for why, he reason was pretty surprising.
"Because I've done everything. I've been everywhere 3 times 4 times again. I've been everywhere. Done everything. There's not a girl I ain't smash, it ain't a place I ain't been, a hotel room I ain't stayed in, there ain't a car I ain't drove."
It's no secret that Bow Wow has an extensive list of women, especially celebrities, that he has been linked to in the past.
But he stayed coy about whether Kim Kardashian was ever one of those women. He said he didn't want to speak on it because of his respect for her husband Kanye West. Still, he had a tough rule for women who did spend the night with him. He would take away their cell phones and make them sign a non-disclosure agreement.
"We don't want to give 'Baller Alert' traction," he said. "Because as soon as a girl catch me in the house doing some s*** all they have to do is hashtag Baller Alert and Shade Room and they are going to post it."
Check out the full interview below.

Syrian Troops Advance Near Aleppo
9/24/2016 | 8:32 AM CDT
BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian government forces captured a rebel-held area on the edge of Aleppo on Saturday, tightening their siege on opposition-held neighborhoods in the northern city as an ongoing wave of airstrikes destroyed more buildings.
The new government push came as the U.N. said that nearly 2 million people in Aleppo, Syria's largest city and onetime commercial center, are without running water following an escalation in fighting over the past few days.
Government forces captured the rebel-held Palestinian refugee camp of Handarat as airstrikes pounded rebel-held eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, killing at least 25 people, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Local Coordination Committees, another monitoring group, said 49 were killed on Saturday alone.
The Observatory said the death toll in Aleppo is expected to rise since many wounded people are in critical condition and rescue workers are still digging through the rubble.
Residents say the latest bombardment is the worst they've seen since rebels captured parts of the city in 2012.
An unnamed Syrian military official was quoted by state media on Friday as saying that airstrikes and shelling in Aleppo would continue for an extended period and "include a ground offensive" into rebel-held areas.
The fall of Handarat to Syrian troops allied with pro-government Palestinian fighters pushes insurgents further away from Castello Road, a main artery leading to rebel-held parts of the city, which is now controlled by the government.
"Breaking the siege through the Castello road has become very difficult," Yassin Abu Raed, an opposition activist based in Aleppo province, told The Associated Press.
An unnamed Syrian military official quoted by state TV confirmed the capture of Handarat, adding that many insurgents were killed. He said experts are removing explosives from the area. The camp, which is almost empty and largely destroyed, has witnessed intense fighting and bombardment in recent years. It has changed hands in the past between government forces and insurgents.
The push came as diplomats in New York have failed to salvage a cease-fire that lasted nearly a week, before giving way to what residents and activists say is a new level of violence. The bombing, which began in earnest late Wednesday, has been unprecedented, targeting residential areas, infrastructure and civil defense centers.
A Western diplomat speaking to a group of journalists in Beirut said that in New York, the impression from meeting with the Russians was that there is no new offensive, but there are been some mixed messages from the ground. He said there had been reports of advances on the ground and some beefing up of the government and allied forces there.
"I will say it seems highly improbable that there will be quick defeat of eastern Aleppo," the diplomat said, referring to the rebel-held districts. "The only way to take it is by such monstrous atrocities that it would resonate for generations."
"It would be absolutely the stuff of myth and history," he said.
Living conditions in the already-battered eastern districts have meanwhile grown even worse.
Hanaa Singer, UNICEF representative in Syria, said intense attacks damaged the Bab al-Nairab station, which supplies water to some 250,000 people in the rebel-held east.
Singer said that in retaliation, the Suleiman al-Halabi pumping station, also located in the rebel-held east, was switched off --- cutting water to 1.5 million people in government-held western parts of the city.
"Depriving children of water puts them at risk of catastrophic outbreaks of water-borne diseases," Singer warned in her statement, released late Friday.

Q: Codeigniter - variables with tags like {title} Im building a website with Codeigniter, and in my views I dont liek putting variables like:
<?=$title?>

I would much rather to write in HTML
{title}

And to replace it somehow.
How can I do that?

A: CodeIgniter has a template parser to do exactly what you are wanting.
Here are some examples from their doc:
$this->load->library('parser');

$data = array(
            'blog_title' => 'My Blog Title',
            'blog_heading' => 'My Blog Heading'
            );

$this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data);

And here is the HTML

<title>{blog_title}</title>

{blog_heading}

{blog_entries}

{title}

{body}

{/blog_entries}

The full documentation for it can be found on their site here

A: Load up the Template Parser Class.

Journal Entry 1 by xtrdnry from Parkdale, Victoria Australia on Wednesday, December 1, 2021
There are many types of battle in Afghanistan. Imagine living in a country where women and girls are not allowed to leave the house without a man. Imagine having to wear clothes that cover every part of your body, including your face, whenever you go out. This is the life of Parvana, a young girl growing up in Afghanistan under the control of an extreme religious military group. When soldiers burst into her home and drag her father off to prison, Parvana is forced to take responsibility for her whole family, dressing as a boy to make a living in the marketplace of Kabul, risking her life in the dangerous and volatile city. By turns exciting and touching, Parvana's a story of courage in the face of overwhelming fear and repression.

"Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, "Lighthouses" as the poet said "erected in the sea of time." They are companions, teachers,magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print."

Q: Nilpotent Operators over Vector Spaces Exercise Prove that if $S:V \to V$ (a vector space) is nilpotent, then $I_V-S$ in invertible.

An operator $S: V \to V$ is nilpotent if there some some natural number $k$ such that $S^k = \underbrace{S \circ S \circ \dots \circ S}_{k \, times}$ is the zero map.

$I_V$ simply refers to the identity matrix/mapping with respect to $V$

The author provides a hint by asking us to consider the product of $I_v - S$ and $(I_V +S + S^2 + \dots + S^{k-1})$

Proof.
Suppose $S: V \to V$ is nilpotent. Then
$$\exists \, k \in \mathbb{N},  S^k(v) = 0 \hspace{0.3cm} \forall v \in V$$
We now consider the product
$$\Big[ I_v - S \Big] \cdot \Big[ I_v + S+ S^2 + \dots + S_{k-1}\Big]$$

I'm not exactly seeing here how considering this product is helpful. Does anyone have any advice on where to go from here? Is there some property of matrices that would be helpful?

A: Expanding the brackets shows that
$$\Big[ I_V - S \Big] \cdot \Big[ I_V + S+ S^2 + \dots + S^{k-1}\Big]=I_v-S^k=I_V,$$
which shows that $I_V-S$ is invertible.

A: Expanding the product yields
$$
\Big[ I_v - S \Big] \cdot \Big[ I_v + S+ S^2 + \dots + S^{k-1}\Big] = \\
\Big[ I_v + S+ S^2 + \dots + S^{k-1}\Big] -
\Big[ S+ S^2 + \dots + S^{k-1} + S^k\Big].
$$
Note that this sum can be simplified.

The Work/Life Balance - Are There Employment Laws That Protect It?
For any working parent, it's hard to maintain the coveted work/life balance. It doesn't matter if you manage a fast food restaurant or a multi-billion dollar corporation – the ability to fit everything you need to in a 24-hour day is harder than ever before.
The majority of companies don't make the struggle any easier. Employees are working more hours than ever before thanks to a constant connection to work through email and texts. The flex time and telecommuting that were part of doing business 10 years ago are slowly disintegrating – even Yahoo! eliminated its long-standing telecommuting policy last year. Companies are also requiring employees to work more hours in order to be more competitive in this tight economy.
Today, couples with children work 10 hours more per week than they did in 1977. In addition, Americans work 500 more hours a year than our European counterparts, and we rank 28th among developed nations in terms of work-life balance.
Although establishing a work/life balance is good for business – it makes workers more productive and more loyal – there are few laws that protect the policy. The U.S. is one of only a handful of countries in the world that does not mandate paid maternity leave. In fact, only 23 percent of employers offer covered family leave.
In another instance, claims of pregnancy discrimination against Bloomberg were dismissed after the judge found there was little evidence in the case although the company had a "pattern and practice" of demoting, harassing and firing mothers and mothers-to-be.
Currently, there is only a handful of laws that offer protection to families. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects mothers against pregnancy discrimination. In addition, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows employees who have worked more than a year for a company that employs more than 50 people can take up to 12 weeks unpaid leave to bond with their newborn or care for a sick child.
But other than that, there's nothing more that ensures parents are able to spend time with their families. A mother who is not covered by FMLA can lose her job if she takes off following the birth of her baby. A father can be demoted or refused a promotion if he needs flex time to attend his child's sports activities. This rigid business policy eventually hurts a company – when an employee can't find a balance and leaves for a competitor, that employer loses a valuable worker.
While there's little workers can do legally to find a balance at this point in time, it's important that they are aware of the rights they do have. If you are nonexempt from FMLA and need time to spend with a sick child or your newborn, you are entitled to take that time without being punished. But until any work/life laws are enacted, finding flexibility in your career is a personal and professional decision and one you will need to determine with your employer.
