Healthy Kids Can Just Die
No one likes to think about it, but yes, healthy kids can just die.
Tragically, misunderstanding this fact can lead some parents who have lost a child to blame vaccines.
The 8 year-old child they are talking about died of SUDEP or Sudden Unexplained Death of Epilepsy.
It certainly doesn't help that anti-vaccine folks are targeting families who have recently lost a child, pushing them to blame vaccines…
Speaking of vaccines, that leads us to one group of healthy kids who can die suddenly – those who die with a vaccine-preventable disease.
All of those kids who die with the flu each year? Many are healthy. And many are unvaccinated.
Infants who die with pertussis.
Teens who die with meningococcemia.
They were all typically healthy – at least they were before they got sick.
And then some of them died.
Of course, vaccine-preventable diseases are not a common way for children to die in developed countries anymore – thanks to vaccines.
Healthy Kids Dying is Not a Vaccine Injury
Again, although no one likes to think about it, healthy kids can just die.
Surprisingly, about 10% of deaths in children over age 12 months are classified as sudden death, including many in healthy kids with no explanations for how they died.
These types of sudden, unexplained deaths are actually the 5th leading cause of death in children between the ages of 1 and 4 years. That adds up to about 400 deaths a year in the United States alone!
Were some of these kids recently vaccinated?
Just like some infants who die of SIDS were recently vaccinated.
That doesn't mean that the vaccines caused the deaths though.
"Dealing with the sudden, unexpected death of a baby to any cause is devastating – but in the case of a death for which no specific cause can be found, the lack of answers about why your baby has died can be overwhelming."
Surviving the Sudden Death of a Baby
So why do some people blame vaccines?
"The parents' need to understand why their baby died came across very strongly in most interviews despite parents not being asked specifically about this."
Garstang et al on Parental understanding and self-blame following sudden infant death: a mixed-methods study of bereaved parents' and professionals' experiences
Few people like the idea that there isn't a known reason for why a child died.
"Our results suggest that most parents really want to know why their baby died; not knowing why their baby died may cause further distress to parents, whether this is due to long waits for the results of postmortem examinations or because deaths remain unexplained. An unexplained death by its nature is an unpredictable event rendering the parents powerless to prevent future tragedies, thus increasing the anxiety and grief; having as much information as possible should help parents to emotionally accept and make sense of the death to themselves."
Saying it was vaccines gives people an answer.
"The aggregated theme, We Feel Like We're to Blame, was composed of three categories: (a) Not where s/he was supposed to sleep, (b) Naming the cause of death increases my guilt, and (c) It was our fault. Mothers often felt that they were being told that the baby's death was their fault."
Stiffler et al on When Baby Stops Breathing: Analysis of Mothers' Interviews
And in the case of SIDS, especially if the baby was in an unsafe sleeping environment, it is easy to see that blaming vaccines might help those who were made to feel that the death had been their fault, even though bedsharing is widely pushed as a safe alternative to roomsharing in many parenting circles.
It isn't.
"The mothers talked about how difficult it was trying to move on after an unexpected infant death. They expressed that they are not only dealing with the grief of losing a child, but they are dealing with the feelings of guilt, despair, and regret. In this aggregated theme, there were three categories: (a) I can't talk about it, (b) One step forward, and (c) Support helps me get through."
One thing should be clear.
Seeking support in anti-vaccine Facebook groups is not healthy and will not help parents deal with their feelings of guilt, despair, or regret.
Shaming was described from the mothers' perspective " . . . it sounds so blaming and makes me feel like they think we killed our baby." Parents were dealing with the grief of losing children, but they were also exhibiting feelings of guilt and responsibility for the deaths. The mothers did find support and eventually moved forward emotionally. In the end, as one mother succinctly expressed, "I am pregnant now . . . we are happy, but are scared, too."
These parents instead need support and doctors, nurses, first responders, child protective service workers, and medical examiners that don't worsen their grief and guilt.
If you need to blame vaccines, then go ahead and do so, but please also get some extra help from the resources below.
And lets work to figure out why these healthy kids are dying, so we can get better at saving them and preventing these deaths.

How the Anti-Vax Movement Takes Advantage of SIDS and SUDC Families
Unfortunately, we have gotten used to the modern anti-vaccine movement doing some horrible things. What's one of the very worst? Taking advantage of the parents of children who have recently died of SIDS or SUDC.
We commonly see anti-vaccine folks seek out parents whose children have very recently died to make them think that vaccines were the cause.
Making parents think that their baby died because of vaccines.
Although we have seen folks like Larry Cook do this time and again, it isn't what is best for these families.
"When a child dies unexpectedly, a family may feel a flood of emotions, including guilt, anger and lack of control. The clinician's role is to offer stable support, information and compassionate care. In order to provide the most appropriate care for families in these situations, it is necessary to understand the complexities of the grief and trauma response and to recognize that the families' needs will change over time."
Caring for the SUDC Family: Medical and Bereavement Information for the Clinicians' Consideration
What do anti-vax folks offer to these grieving families?
"During an open investigation, do not speculate on the cause of death with the family. Although this may feel supportive, it often undermines the relationship with the Medical Examiner/Coroner who is legally charged with determining cause of death and adds stress for the family when clinicians and the investigating authorities disagree. It is optimal that clinicians and Medical Examiners/Coroners communicate directly for the best interests of the family. "
They offer an answer…
"Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) is a category of death in children between the ages of 1 and 18 that remains unexplained after a thorough investigation, including an autopsy."
Facts About Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood
Often when answers haven't been available.
And whether it is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), or SUDC, invariably, the "answer" that they offer is that they should blame vaccines.
Of course, they shouldn't.
Vaccines are safe, with few risks.
Vaccines are not associated with SIDS.
Vaccines are not associated with SUID.
Vaccines are not associated with SUDC.
Shame on these folks for making grieving parents think that they are.
These families would get much better help from organizations like the SUDC Foundation and first candle.

In the ideal scenario, teeth would be able to fully resist damage of any sort. As our teeth, however, are not impervious to decay or injury, which is why restorative treatments have been developed to correct a number of issues. Acting most conservatively, Dr. Bernstein treats decay first with fillings. In instances where damage is more extensive, a dental crown may be needed to return the affected tooth to its strongest form. Dental crowns act to fully cover teeth, rebuilding the structure necessary to withstand the forces of chewing.
When dental crowns are called for, there are a number of materials to consider. In treating damaged teeth with crowns, metal-alloy used to be the only option. In our Michigan practice, metal-alloy crowns are just one option among many. Choosing which material is most suitable is an important task, playing a role in both the aesthetic and the longevity of this restorative treatment.
While metal alloy crowns have long been used to restore function to teeth, gold is a metal that deserves some consideration. Yes, gold crowns do require a larger up-front investment. The return on this investment, however, is substantial. Gold is ideal for dental restorations for a number of reasons. This material is biocompatible, which means that the tissues surrounding the crown will not be irritated by its presence. Perhaps even more important are the natural characteristics of gold to expand and contract similarly to existing tooth enamel. This tendency allows for the creation of a better fitting crown, leading to a restoration that can far outlast other materials.
A concern that many patients have over dental crowns in general is their impact on the aesthetic of the smile. Whether standard metal alloy or gold, a crown can be fabricated with a porcelain overlay that will create a seamless transition between teeth.
Porcelain is a material often used in cosmetic dentistry due to the fact that this material most closely resembles natural enamel. Used over a dental crown, porcelain does lose a bit of translucency, but as these crowns are typically placed on molars, restorations are aesthetically pleasing. When a crown is needed for a front tooth, all-porcelain or ceramic may be recommended for the most natural appearance.
Investigating the various options for materials will help you make a more confident decision regarding dental crowns. For more information or to schedule your dental visit with Dr. Bernstein, contact us today.

UITP manages new platform under the European Clean Bus Deployment Initiative facilitated by the European Commission
>UITP manages new platform under the European Clean Bus Deployment Initiative facilitated by the European Commission
UITP is proud to announce that it will manage a new platform under the European Clean Bus Deployment Initiative of the European Commission. The platform will bring together European transport authorities and operators to boost and support the exchange of knowledge and expertise on clean bus deployment. It will be officially launched during the UITP Summit on 11 June together with the European Commission, Directorate-General Mobility and Transport.
The European Commission, in collaboration with the Committee of the Regions, has been facilitating the creation of a dedicated initiative for clean (alternatively fuelled) buses in the EU. Starting in June 2017, it has led to the adoption of a public declaration endorsing a common ambition of signatory cities and manufacturers to the roll out of clean buses. This has been complemented by an expert group to work on technological, financial and organisational issues around the deployment of such buses.
UITP supported the Clean Bus Deployment Initiative through signing the 'Declaration on promoting large-scale deployment of clean buses in Europe', and actively contributing to the work of the Clean Bus Expert Group.
Now, the next phase is starting. A contract has been awarded to the APOLLO-EU consortium led by UITP to set up and manage a platform that will bring together public authorities, transport operators, manufacturers and financial organisations.
Many city administrations have the political will to re-orient their public transport system towards clean buses, but lack the capabilities and know-how to do so on their own. The platform will assist them in the learning and transition process, ensuring that technical, procedural and operational know-how on clean bus deployment is passed on beyond the circle of cities that can be considered front-runners. This will make possible that a critical mass of cities and operators start and continue investing in clean bus technologies.
The work will build on the insights of successful larger fleets that are already running in European cities. Furthermore, key research projects in the field like ZeEUS, ASSURED, JIVE, EBSF_2, and ELIPTIC have demonstrated a wide array of existing solutions related to clean bus technologies.
"The project is a true tipping point to boost the market uptake of clean bus technologies with concrete actions supporting authorities and operators in the deployment process", said Umberto Guida, Senior Director Knowledge & Innovation at UITP.
As a passionate advocate of sustainable mobility, UITP and its members actively followed up the European Commission's efforts to set up the policy framework for clean bus deployment, such as the review of the Clean Vehicles, and the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directives.
Come and visit us at the UITP stand at the Global Public Transport Summit on Tuesday 11 June (14:30 – 14:45) for the kick-off of this breakthrough project. The launch event will welcome Mohamed Mezghani, Secretary General of UITP, and Herald Ruijters, Director Investment, Innovative and Sustainable Transport of DG MOVE.
The APOLLO-EU Consortium consists of Coordinator UITP and partners POLIS, Rupprecht Consult, FIT Consulting and thinkstep. The APOLLO-EU project is a service contract through the European Commission's DG MOVE 'Supporting alternatives to cars by means of better clean bus deployment' call.

Condition: The brass commercial light fixtures on the storefront of this Starbucks retail location in Baltimore, Maryland had prematurely oxidized and tarnished to the point that they were visually displeasing. The factory applied clear lacquer wore out and was wearing off, cracking and peeling. The exposed architectural brass finish was tarnished, oxidized, stained and turning green. The brass patina needed to be removed. On-site brass refinishing was specified to clean, refurbish, repair and protect the brass surface finish.
York Property Company Solution: The brass refinishing, repair and restoration project had to get the failed lacquer off the brass and remove the brown / green patina, tarnish and stains. Brass polishing and brass restoration assisted in removing the oxidation, corrosion and discoloration. During the brass repair we spray applied a fresh coat of lacquer to protect the brass finish from the damaging elements, pollutants and contaminants. As commercial brass refinishing experts the brass light fixtures are now clean, refurbished and protected from further damage.
York Property Company provides high quality architectural brass cleaning, refinishing, restoration & maintenance. Our highly trained company technician's clean, repair, refinish & restore brass architectural metal surface finishes on-site.
With every restoration project we analyze the needs of our customers & develop a comprehensive brass maintenance program. This custom brass maintenance program ensures our clients architectural brass finishes remain looking their best for years to come.

Andersen, T.; Laajoki, K.; Saeed, A.
The Blefjell quartzite is ca. 40X6-10 km gneissic metasupracrustal occurrence deposited on a 1159+ or -8 Ma old felsic volcanite. It is part of a mature beach--shallow shelf complex deposited between ca. 1155 and 1145 Ma. LAM-ICPMS U-Pb ages of single, detrital zircons range from 1.40 to 2.07 Ga, with frequency maxima in the age-range 1.65-1.90 Ga. Younger zircons (1.53-1.64 and 1.40-1.50 Ga are less abundant. Present-day (super 176) Hf/ (super 177) Hf ranges from 0.2814 to 0.2822, corresponding to epsilon (sub Hf) (t) between -8 and +14. The minor and trace element distribution of the zircons suggest derivation from a range of mafic to granitic protosources, characterized by distinct, relative LREE enrichment or HREE depletion. The data confirm the presence of important 1.7-1.9 Ga protosources for Precambrian sediments in S Norway, indistinguishable in age and crustal history from rocks of the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt. This lends further support to regional tectonic models in which southern Norway west of the Oslo Rift has been an integral part of the Baltic Shield since the formation of the regional protolith in the Paleoprotoerozoic.

Li's CDC Evaluation Fellowship Experience
Wenshu Li, PhD Candidate in Evaluation, Statistics, and Measurement, won a two-year Evaluation Fellowship with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in August, 2015.
It was a rigorous process involving an application (including an essay, transcripts, and resume), a survey, and three different interviews. At the end, she was matched with her first choice of available programs and started work with the Division of Global Health Protection in Atlanta, GA. There, she's been utilizing quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods, preparing logic models, identifying and developing indicators and data sources, and coordinating activities to advance implementation of the Global Health Security Agenda.
We asked her some questions about her experience so far. Read her responses below.
What interested you in the Fellowship?
There are several reasons. First of all, CDC is a perfect place for me to gain program evaluation experience. I could work together with experienced evaluators in a team to conduct cross-national evaluation studies. I would have opportunities to learn how to collaborate with different stakeholders (such as Ministry of Health staff in different countries, CDC officers in other countries, leadership within division/center, etc.) and conduct large scale evaluation. Secondly, the fellowship provided great benefits. In addition to decent stipend, fellows have $5,000 each year to spend on professional trainings (workshop, conferences, books, etc), and a health insurance supplement. Finally, location. I really needed a job in the Atlanta area because my husband and his whole family live there. I wanted to stay with my family.
What has this experience been like?
It's hard to describe the experience in several sentences. But overall I would say it is really a good experience for a new graduate like me. First of all, you have a great opportunity to apply what you've learned in graduate school into practice and make an impact on the public (domestically and internationally). Secondly, you get to know a lot of great people who are working on the field as experts and learn from them. Thirdly, I really enjoy the experience to collaborate with people from all over the world. My fellowship program is nested in the center of global health within the CDC. To conduct global health evaluation, we have to collaborate within CDC with other centers/subject matter experts, with other US agencies, such as USAID and DOD, and with international partners, such as Ministries of Health in other countries.
How has it enhanced your professional development?
The best part and uniqueness of the fellowship is its nature of providing the fellows with plenty of experiences and professional development opportunities. In addition to stay in the host program, fellows can reach out to work on other small projects through the fellowship program by using 20% of their time during a 2-3 month periods. The fellowship program also hosted a lot of workshops such as scientific writing and public speaking as well as provided $5000 professional development funding for each fellow. Fellows can make use of the funding to purchase books, attend conferences or workshops, and even take courses.
What impact did the Evaluation, Statistics, and Measurement program have on obtaining this fellowship and the work you are completing as a Fellow?
Close mentorship and the curriculum of the program; the great opportunities to collaborate with faculty and students on diverse research projects and gain various field experiences. I was focused on evaluation of STEM programs. But, I've engaged in several public health evaluation field practice, which helped me to get my CDC Fellowship.
Do you enjoy living in Atlanta?
Yes, most of the time. I can stay with my husband and his family. I enjoy a lot of family time with them. There is also delicious food (from Asia) and interesting social events in Atlanta area. But, the traffic in Atlanta really is the reason I am afraid of living in big cities. I have to drive an hour one way from my home to work because of the traffic.
Is there anything else you would like to say?
I really want to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor, associate professor Gary J. Skolits, and other ESM faculty and students. Millions of thanks for your expertise, constructive comments, support, and time in my graduate study and life at ESM program. I could not get the fellowship without your endless support.

The single deadliest attack on civilians by drug traffickers in Mexico took place Sept. 15 at an Independence Day celebration in the central plaza of Morelia, hometown of President Felipe Calderon and capital of Michoacan. Attackers hurled fragmentation grenades at the celebrating crowd, killing eight people and wounding dozens more.
Amid the recent spate of attacks in Michoacan, federal police on Feb. 20 announced the discovery of 66 fragmentation grenades in the fake bottom of a truck intercepted in southern Mexico, just over the border from Guatemala. The two men arrested with the cargo told police they were transporting the grenades to Morelia.
Grenades used in three attacks in Monterrey and Texas were linked to a single Monterrey warehouse, packed with explosives and high-caliber guns, reportedly belonging to the Gulf cartel. Mexican authorities raided the warehouse in October and seized the cache, which contained South Korean-manufactured grenades similar to the American M67 fragmentation grenade.
Grenades from the same lot were used in a Jan. 6 attack on the Televisa television station in Monterrey, which caused damage but no injuries, and during an Oct. 12 attack against the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey. The device at the consulate did not detonate.
Late on the night of Jan. 31, a Saturday, a man tossed a grenade into the El Booty Lounge in Pharr, Texas. Three off-duty Texas police officers were there, though authorities would not say whether they were the target. The explosive, which did not detonate, was traced to the Monterrey warehouse.
Traffickers using M203 40-millimeter grenade launchers last year attacked and killed eight Mexican federal police officers in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state. In the northern border city of Nogales, the Sonora state police commander was killed Nov. 2 in an ambush by purported traffickers firing AK-47s and lobbing grenades. He had been returning from a meeting with U.S. authorities in Arizona to discuss gun smuggling.
In the western state of Durango, three people, including a 3-year-old child, were killed in a grenade attack in January.
The firepower has gone beyond grenades. Armed with light antitank weapons, would-be assassins went after the nation's top counternarcotics prosecutor in December 2007. The assailants were intercepted before they reached Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, who was not hurt. The weapons seized were linked to the notorious Sinaloa cartel.
Beyond the weaponry, drug gangs for several years have demonstrated the ability to form squads and employ military tactics, including the use of assault rifles, hand grenades, grenade launchers and fully automatic weapons to pin down army forces. This has enabled them to attack army patrols frontally, as they did with lethal results Feb. 7 in the central state of Zacatecas, killing one sergeant and critically wounding a colonel.
"At this stage, the drug cartels are using basic infantry weaponry to counter government forces," a U.S. government official in Mexico said. "Encountering criminals with this kind of weaponry is a horse of a different color," the official said.
"It's not your typical patrol stop, where someone pulls a gun. This has all the makings of an infantry squad, or guerrilla fighting."
The fear of guerrilla warfare was compounded in February when 270 pounds of dynamite and several hundred electric detonators were stolen from a U.S. firm in the state of Durango. On Valentine's Day, about 20 masked gunmen, led by a heavyset man wearing gold rings and chains, stormed the warehouse of a subsidiary of Austin Powder Co., an industrial explosives manufacturer, according to official accounts. They overpowered guards and emptied the warehouse. Two similar thefts were reported within four days in the same area.
Although the Mexican army recovered most of the dynamite, the incident augurs an even bloodier trend, officials said.
"There is only one reason to have bulk explosives," said Thomas G. Mangan, spokesman in Phoenix for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "An improvised explosive device. A car bomb."
In addition to grenades, high-powered guns such as the .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifle have become a weapon of choice in narcotics traffickers' arsenals, Mangan said. Unlike grenades and antitank weapons, the .50-caliber guns can be obtained by ordinary citizens in the U.S. and smuggled easily into Mexico, like the tons of assault rifles and automatic pistols.
Mexican law enforcement, such as the police in Zihuatanejo, is grossly outgunned. Officers have protested, seeking better protective gear, weaponry and pay.
Shortly after the Zihuatanejo attacks, police officers staged a brief work stoppage outside their headquarters, where scars from the grenade attack were still visible. One of the blasts left a cereal bowl-shaped divot in the stone pavement and pockmarks on the front of the police building. It went off 100 feet from the nearest street, prompting some officers to suspect that the assailants employed a grenade launcher.
Police have piled sandbags 4 feet high around the compound and security is tight. Commanders have bought 10 bulletproof vests, but say they need at least 280 to equip the city's 343 officers.
The police commander, Pablo Rodriguez, said his officers are terrified. They are armed with semiautomatic .223-caliber rifles made in Italy, Germany and Mexico. The rifles, with folding stocks, are snazzy, but they are no match for the weapons being stockpiled by the drug cartels.
"They are good weapons, but to counteract the types of weapons they're using against us, they're not equal," Rodriguez said.
His officers know they don't stand a chance. Not five days after the highway attack that blew up the police truck, Rodriguez had jobs to fill. Twenty-two of his cops had abruptly quit.

Caption: How many people do you think will mourn for you when you're dead, Randy? Good question, little buddy. I live out loud. I've ridden a motorcycle across five continents, making countless friends along the way. I've conducted passionate love affairs in six languages, and taught the ancient art of seduction to sold-out crowds in two hemispheres. As a youth I delivered pizza to lonely housewives, for whom I host an annual reunion in Vegas. A man who lives his life out loud will leave thousands of mourners when he dies. What about a man who lives his life on mute?

Test your smoke alarms every week!
With the New Year underway, Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) are asking people to make a resolution in 2015 to make sure that their smoke alarms are up to date, in the right place and that they test them every week. Why not circle every Tuesday on your new calendar and make it a Test it Tuesday and tick it off when you have tested your alarms?
Could you be a Fire Service Volunteer?
New Year New You! Would you like to do something new and exciting in 2015? Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) would like to hear from you!

Q: Getting security exception while accessing user's location I'm accessing the location services by calling the below 2 functions,
private Location getBestLocation() {
        Location gpslocation = getLocationByProvider(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        Location networkLocation =
                getLocationByProvider(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
        // if we have only one location available, the choice is easy
        if (gpslocation == null) {
            Log.d("", "No GPS Location available.");
            return networkLocation;
        }
        if (networkLocation == null) {
            Log.d("", "No Network Location available");
            return gpslocation;
        }
        // a locationupdate is considered 'old' if its older than the configured
        // update interval. this means, we didn't get a
        // update from this provider since the last check

        // both are old return the newer of those two
        if (gpslocation.getTime() > networkLocation.getTime()) {
            Log.d("", "Both are old, returning gps(newer)");
            return gpslocation;
        } else {
            Log.d("", "Both are old, returning network(newer)");
            return networkLocation;
        }
    }

    /**
     * get the last known location from a specific provider (network/gps)
     */
    private Location getLocationByProvider(String provider) {
        Location location = null;
        /*if (!isProviderSupported(provider)) {
            return null;
        }*/
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        try {
            if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(provider)) {
                try {
                    location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
                }catch(SecurityException e){
                    info.setText("No permission: "+e);
                }
            }
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            Log.d("", "Cannot acces Provider " + provider);
        }
        return location;
    }

I have a TextView variable and I'm setting it by,
info.setText(getBestLocation()+"");

I'm getting the Exception as below,
java.lang.SecurityException: Provider network requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission

Yes I have defined the permission in the AndroidManifest file as,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Yes, I have tried to Invalidate Caches/Restart my Android Studio.
Any suggestions for this problem?
EDIT: Here is My AndroidManifest file,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.saumil.meetup">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

    <application
        ....
    </application>

Thanks in advance!

Lots of great stuff in the Ubisoft Sale, but I already own the stuff worth having.
No interest in Tropico. I considered the Bomerman DLC, but since they don't have any achievements I'll pass.
Fingers crossed for some good stuff in the THQ Sale later this week.
and it's on sale at [Gamestop] right now.
A possible Countdown to 2013 Sale list has been leaked.
Some quality stuff in that list along with the usual suspects of course.
Lots of great stuff, especially the 1st episode of Walking Dead FREE!!!
Start stocking up on Microsoft Moon Dollars now, folks!
It looks like Xbox caught onto the leak and shutdown the above links. No matter, we still have the list.
Thanks to Google Cache, I've dug up the Avatar sale list.
THQ Sale is live ... and sort of disappointing.
Nexuiz for 200 MSP is a no-brainer if you don't already own it. I do.
Saints Row the Third Season Pass is a good buy if you aren't getting the complete edition.
Darksiders II Season Pass may be a good buy if you're dedicated to the upcoming DLC.
Picked that up just the other day so no spending for me this time around.
I was on the fence about Jet Set Radio, but decided against it. I remember being frustrated with the controls on the Dreamcast, and from what I've read they haven't improved.

Most of us can look back and remember the glory days of video games. Before memory cards. Before hi-res 3D models.
Back when you had to blow the dust out of the cartridge to get it to turn on. Back to the NES. The Nintendo Entertainment System.
It's been almost fifteen years since the last NES cartridge was produced. Many college kids break out their old systems and play the classics like Super Mario Bros. and Dunk Hunt still to this day. But someone felt like giving the old system one last try.
Sivak Games brings Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril to the NES. True to its 8-Bit ancestors, Battle Kid puts a simple protagonist against overwhelming odds in this platform adventure as players must navigate through the game's more than 550 rooms.
For a mere $30, players can order the slick see through green cartridge complete with classic black slip case and instruction manual just like we remember begging our parents to buy us back in the days of our youth from RetroZone. Quantities may be limited.
Anyone who comes to this site knows we love to pass along anything that touches the bottom of our geek hearts. Many times, these come in the way of fan films.
But today it's a special treat with a free PC game. Through his website Eric Ruth Games, a developer has posted his portfolio of 8-Bit style games which includes, you guessed it, a classic NES style version of 2008's megahit, Left 4 Dead.
Entitled Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead, players step in to an 8-bit version of the four original campaigns of L4D. Either single or two player from one keyboard (sorry, no XBox Live or Steam connectivity here), gamers get to take a peek at what this genre defining game would have looked like had it come out twenty years ago in the days before graphics accelerators and first person shooters.


Melbourne Art Foundation has joined with over 50 Victorian cultural organisations, institutions, art spaces, satellite fairs and galleries to stage Melbourne Art Week from the 30 July to 5 August 2018; a dynamic winter program of exhibitions, events, talks, performances and workshops.
Melbourne Art Fair returns from 2 to 5 August 2018 (Vernissage, Wednesday 1 August) as the flagship event of Art Week and will take place for the first time across two venues: within the Southbank Arts Precinct and alongside Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). The Fair has been divided into three broad categories: 'Galleries', 'Accent' and 'TIME'. Presented across four sites including Melbourne Art Fair, Buxton Contemporary, Federation Square and QT Melbourne, 'TIME' will display site-specific moving image, sound, and performance-based artworks curated by Hannah Mathews (Senior Curator, Monash University Museum of Art) and Rachel Ciesla (Curator and Administrator Galleries and Programs, Melbourne Art Foundation). The sector will feature a selection of new and recent works by Michaela Gleave (represented by Anna Pappas Gallery, Melbourne), Jess Johnson (represented by Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney), Sriwhana Spong (represented by Michael Lett, Auckland) and Angela Tiatia (represented by Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney).
The 2018 Project Rooms returns as a non-profit platform for cutting edge art spaces presenting experimental work within the context of a major visual arts event. This year, the Project Rooms will take place within the Melbourne Art Fair and will feature presentations from the Brisbane's Institute of Modern Art, Melbourne's Gertrude Contemporary and Blak Dot Gallery, and The Physics Room from Christchurch, New Zealand.
Other highlights include the Visual Arts Awards on Saturday 2 August, as well as 'From Will to Form': Tarrawarra Biennial 2018, ACCA's 'A Lightness of Spirit is the Measure of Happiness', Buxton Contemporary's 'No One is Watching You: Ronnie van Hout', VCA Open Studios and more.
The city will come alive during the week with live performances and creative workshops occurring throughout Melbourne and across the Southbank Arts Precinct. On Sunday 5 August, ACCA and the Melbourne Art Foundation will be holding 'Weaving Workshops: Bush Toys and Baskets', a hands-on workshop with senior weavers, Gunditjmara weaver Bronwyn Razem and Yorta Yorta weaver Donna Blackall, from the Victorian Aboriginal Weaving Collective.
Melbourne's leading contemporary dance company Chunky Move will offer public contemporary dance classes for participants aged 18+ on Wednesday 1 August and Saturday 3 August, with a special Dance Party on Friday 2 August. Sessions are set to take place in Chunky Move's dance studios in the Southbank Arts Precinct.
Other workshop highlights include 'NEW YORK! NEW YORK!' organised to coincide with 2018's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition 'MoMA at NGV: 130 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art.' NGV Kids presents a large-scale participatory installation featuring displays, multimedia projections and hands-on activities designed to introduce children to the vibrancy of New York.
The program also includes Phillip Adam BalletLab's Metamorphosen, a performance installation created in response to composer Richard Strauss' Metamorphosen (1945), in which body bags roll one after the other, onto a giant 18-metre inflatable designed by artist David Cross.
Melbourne Art Foundation, partnering with MLC Life Insurance, has commissioned a new performative work from Japanese-born, Australian-based artist Hiromi Tango (represented by Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney). Performed on the streets of the Southbank Arts Precinct and incorporating Melbourne's iconic cultural landmarks including ACCA, the 2018 home of Melbourne Art Fair, the work titled Lizard Tail (Dawn) has been embraced as the visual identity for the celebrated Melbourne Art Week.

Have you noticed how we tend to resist the idea of change?
Just adding the word 'change' has the potential to put people's backs up or make us feel wary. If our boss says, 'We're going to change the office' or 'We're going to change some processes', we often have an immediate reaction to the idea. Yet if the word itself is changed it changes our response. 'We're going to improve the office' and 'We're going to improve some processes' sound more encouraging by comparison, somehow easier to hear and take on board.
Because we easily become accustomed to what we have, how we do things and how things are, it is easy to resist change; it feels comfortable staying with what we know. Yet many of us want our lives to be better in some way, be that at home or at work, health-wise or socially. I specialise in altering mindset and helping people make changes for the better, yet I'm as guilty as the majority when it comes to resisting change. Let me give you an example of how circumstances influenced me to make small changes, and how the result could help you make your own positive changes – for free.
In 1964 Bob Dylan wrote "The times they are a-changing"; he was right then and 52 years on he's still right. Like it or not, change is constant. When I was writing my book, Pieces of the Possible, I was adamant I wouldn't self-publish; after all, at the time, self-publication was referred to as 'vanity publishing'. But by the time I was ready to go to print the market had changed; publishers often expected an author to be self-published before they took real interest. Then I was absolutely clear in my mind that I wouldn't succumb to reading e-books, since I prefer the look and feel of a good old-fashioned paper book. But then I went on a special holiday and had limited weight capacity on the flight and would have been massively restricted on what books to take… so I ended up buying a Kindle and haven't looked back since (although I still buy all my reference material in hard copy).
So, when it came to reworking the website for my training consultancy, More Than Words, I realised it was time to add Pieces of the Possible as a free audiobook download. One of the factors that influenced my decision was recent research by the Association of American Publishers, which revealed that audiobook downloads increased by 38.1% in 2015. Another was a comment on CNBC by Tracey Markham (country manager at Audible), saying that audiobook growth is consistent as consumers realise how well audiobooks can fit into their busy lives.
I went on holiday again recently and found myself listening to books as much as reading them. One was the audio version of Pieces of the Possible. As I'd been too busy devising and carrying out my training courses, I hadn't had time to record it myself, but knew I could trust my friend Richard Burnip, who records audiobooks for a living, to do a good job.
As you can imagine, it was a slightly nervous moment for me to listen to my book being read by someone else. After all, I'd spent years telling the story that is Pieces of the Possible in my head as I wrote it. In my mind I'd clearly formed what the characters looked like and, more importantly, what their voices and intonations sounded like. It's fair to say that the books we love often become highly personalised to us because we create the pictures and sounds in our head as we read.
Yet, despite these reservations, I found myself listening to my book with fascination. It worked. I was drawn into the story and actually enjoyed listening to the characterised voices. In fact, I distinctly remember catching myself smiling as I listened, not just from enjoying the story, but because I was proud of the version I was hearing.
Pieces of the Possible is a book written to help people make personal change; it is entirely focused on the individual becoming aware of how they have contributed to their life being as it is, and it shows how to create mind-shifts which enable personal change to happen. I'd taken my recent holiday because I needed some time out, and had headed to a yoga retreat to properly relax and recharge. What is fascinating for me is that I listened to my book with fresh ears and was able to let the ideas which form the backbone of the story filter in to me, even as the writer.
Feel free to download my audio book and maybe even share the link with friends, colleagues and family.

transaction/36 per 100 payments with the standard payment plan. One of the criteria PayPal uses to flag an account is a sudden spike in processing volume. Should be sold for less bucks. If you really want to understand PayPal users and how they interact with your site, this would be good.

I plugged them in to my tablet, phone and laptop and behold! Watching these new services roll out is great because they empower merchants, and because it shows that PayPal is paying attention to how the market is shifting toward integrated, one-stop solutions. Thanks for reading my review! With consistently small transactions, you can wind up saving money on the per-transaction fees, which tend to be very problematic for small-ticket businesses. It really does seem to be trying to make payment processing accessible to everyone. But the question remains: Should PayPal be your primary payment processing platform? In Safari, the most common cause of this is using "Private Browsing Mode". You can even design your own checkout page. Anything that indicates an unsustainable business model might be grounds for an account termination. They ARE very clear. However, when you reach a point where youre consistently doing more than 10,000 or 20,000 in card processing per month, a traditional merchant account may become more cost-effective.
Heres what Ive found since my last check-in. It bears mentioning that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a complaint against PayPal on May 19, 2015. For all swiped mobile and in-store transactions, you pay.7. As we mentioned eariler in the review, PayPal has a new product we like called LoanBuilder ( see our review a simple and straightforward short-term loan program available to all merchants, not just those that use PayPal.
