Lillian Shehadi '19, a double major in Business and International Relations, has studied at the Universite Grenoble in France.
Moving to a new place, on a new continent, with limited language capabilities- can be relatively easy. Making that city feel like a home away from home, is a more challenging endeavor. I had the privilege of traveling to Grenoble, France in the Spring of 2018, and fell in love with my tiny beautiful town in the French Alps. The cobblestone roads that gleam under decadent street lights after the rain, the copious quaint bakeries on every corner drawing pedestrians in with the delicious aroma of fresh baked pan au chocolate, the local artists and musicians lining the streets, selling their creations on linoleum tables puffing on cigarettes and avoiding eye contact with passers-by. It didn't take long for Grenoble to steal my heart, but I only truly comfortable after forging friendships to give it meaning.
This study abroad program was unique in the fact that every international newcomer was assigned a mentor through a school club dedicated to making sure the transition is smooth when entering Grenoble's highly competitive business school. My mentor's name was Antoine, and with his help, I signed up for three clubs, two new classes, a weekly fooseball tournament, and a snowboarding class. The definition of a full plate, I was determined to at least try it all. Through these activities and the mentorship program, I befriended new people- fellow international students and locals alike- with various passions and perspectives, people I would forge relationships with that withstand the test of time, language barriers and borders. Traveling creates this social dynamic and phenomenon that allows people to connect and share freely. The pace of relationships quickens because time is often so fleeing.
If all we have is today, or a week or 5 months to spend time with someone, it challenges us to open our hearts and souls faster than we normally would. There is also this sense of fearlessness when getting to know a stranger when the time you have to know them is fleeting, embarrassing ourselves or feel too vulnerable are things international students must come to terms with on the daily. New interactions become plentiful and we become honest and careless, because if you feel the urgency of time passing, accidentally embarrassing yourself or oversharing in front of a becomes inconsequential compared to the friendships you will gain by doing exactly that.
The fleeting nature of these friendships is beautiful and heartbreaking. As someone who cares so much and struggles to let go of friendships and disconnect from places, it has been an excellent exercise in detachment. I made some incredible friends on my journeys- some I may see again, and others I may never- but my time abroad wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of them. I am grateful for every single person I met this year. Every professor that impacted me with their lectures, every local barista that took the time to learn my name, every kind local curious to where my accent was from. There were brief encounters that reshaped my perspective, moments that reminded me I was exactly where I needed to be, and days and adventures I will never forget. While the place of course shapes the experience, it is the people that provide meaning. This is why we find home so homely, and it is also how and why you can sometimes find home away from home.

Boy injured by rampaging hyenas brought to Israel for treatment
Funds still being raised for continuation of Ethiopian boy's treatment in Nahariya hospital.
By Judy Siegel-Itzkovich
Hyena370. (photo credit: Reuters)
Abdul Razek, an eight-year-old from Ethiopia who was violently attacked by wild hyenas outside his home and could not receive the necessary medical care in his country, was brought on Monday to the Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya.
The government hospital's director-general, Dr. Masad Barhoum, praised the collaboration of the United Jewish Communities, the Jewish Agency, the Joint Distribution Committee and the Foreign Ministry to make the effort successful.
"I'm proud to be a part of this health care system that acts without hesitation to save the life of a child, not just those in Israel but also to provide humanitarian aid internationally when we are able. This shows the unique nature of Israel," Barhoum said on Monday.
Amir Yarchi, director of the Friends of the Western Galilee Hospital, added that the organization began fundraising for the mission and continues to raise funds from donors both in Israel and abroad for both the necessary treatments and housing arrangements outside the hospital.
In total, the funds needed for the treatment and transportation of the boy are estimated at above $40,000.
Five months ago, Abdul was attacked by wild hyenas that entered his small village, seriously injuring his head and face. Fearing for the child's life, his father brought him to Attat Hospital, a Catholic mission center in Addis Ababa where he has been recovering since the incident. However, due to the limited medical treatments available to the small facility and the lack of sophisticated equipment, the doctors and nurses were unable to give the advanced care the child needed. Abdul needs major skin grafting across his head and other surgeries to repair his face before his injuries become consumed by infection.
Dr. Rick Hodes, chief physician of the JDC's medical mission in Ethiopia, set in action this international collaboration with the Western Galilee Hospital. Hodes described the boy's medical case to visiting physicians from the US.

The full story of Quake Champions (a look inside the minds) (35 comments)
Posted by mYst+ @ 08:26 BST, 29 July 2019 - iMsg
id Software's Tim Willits, Adam Pyle and Zero4 (John Hill), each had the idea of making a MOBA version of Quake. During the prime early years of Overwatch, many Quake players including Zero4 had tried their hand in Overwatch. However, for John specifically, he felt old and slow and just wanted to have a lightning gun, rocket launcher and railgun in this MOBA experience. So during those years, they had made plans for this project and began working desperately on it, but someone in their crew said... 'hey, we've got a pretty small team, this project might need to get scrapped'; that someone was Tim Willits. John Hill and Adam Pyle desperately tell Tim Willits, no no no... don't scrap it, we seriously need this game. So Tim gives them an alternative solution, they give up on the full MOBA conversion (for obvious reasons), and they half ass Quake fans with HEROES. So, they said... okay... it's better than nothing.
They take a few weeks to salvage up any scraps they had for their Overwatch clone, and make a couple of standard Quake maps. But, Tim is like... I want money now, so we need you guys to work like dogs and sell it. So 5 minutes later, they've got it all packaged up. Tim is like, 'how did you guys do that so fast'. And they're scratching their heads saying that they're great programmers of course (but it only takes a few minutes to make a gamemode). So then they spend some money on a cinematic, they get that shit out before QuakeCon and everyone is like WOAH OMG THANK YOU. Once the press starts sniffing up their crotches, they learn fast that they need a cover story. So they make up something along the lines of: 'we have been working on this game for many years', and 'it is NOT a MOBA'. Two infamous half truths don't make one right, not even close, especially not these two.
A few years later, we conclude this story with a harsh reality. They didn't make enough maps, and there was no purpose for 'Champions' outside of a MOBA. They literally fled back to Time Limit duels just to keep the game alive. Good grief, I can't believe people bought it. Literally and figuratively speaking. Because at the end of the day, id Software literally sucked the epeen out of Quake Live (which was the last active part of Quake) to promote a money scheme that acts as a couple months of fame and for Tim Willits $$$$$$$$. It's called selling out, and that's what they did. And the people who did it, especially the morons that were aware of it; should all be banned from our servers.
As of July 18th 2019, it was announced that Tim Willits was resigning retiring from his post at id Software. But what if Timmy wanted to make a profit out of destroying Quake before making a hasty exit from the studio? Leaving it in ruins forever, with a team of duped clueless employees and a community of titty streamers.
On a side note: I just want to give a shout out to ESR for red pilling me on some shit, but I am most definitely proud in saying I didn't support this game on release, nor do I do now. I hope it was a good read, and probably a good laugh. Maybe some of you aren't laughing, that is understandable. I'm not laughing, but I think a post like this was long overdue in a time where Quake Champions is playing a big fat bluff as an esport.

I probably should have mentioned the paid off streamers and players in the game, yeah... if we can get someone brave enough here to infiltrate their numbers and expose some names, that might help. But, it's possible that they kidnapped a bunch of pre-existing Quake players and made them do it. Lot's of strange stuff happens at the gaylord in after hours.

Let's fire SyncError, for his mistakes
https://www.esreality.com/post/2940812/take-part-in-the-petition/
By Anonymous (172.105.98.245)
this is not a good history lesson as it's wrong on a lot of things. zero4 didn't play a role in making qc, they had already wanted to do it back in ql long before overwatch had been announced. but they failed and just decided to release loadouts on public servers.
it also ignores that id were in contact with saber around the same time that the russian ruble had devalued massively as a result of sanctions and capital flight.
you are right about one thing though, there's no real competition between this game and overwatch. overwatch is a class based team game with character attributes and abilities, quake champions is not. there's not a single good team mode to make use of the different characters and abilities, so instead what you get is a shitty merger of character attributes and abilities with the original quake resource management. that's why sacrifice failed, and that's why there's been no interest from the tf2, overwatch, and paladins players. they sense that this title will be shortlived and they'd rather keep playing their own games than play qc.
in other words, they've failed to branch out into becoming a popular team game, and at the same time they've made so many compromises with the game play that it's turned off a lot of people.
but none of this matters anymore. read between the lines:
id software randomly announces rage 2 right as qc is suffering in players
id software announces wolfenstein youngblood at e3 2018
id software announces that doom eternal will not have normal online multiplayer
id software plans to release 3 single player games in a single year (when has that ever happened?)
it's pretty obvious that all of this was a reaction to and a backup plan for quake champions failing to retain and integrate more new players. they essentially get to wash their hands off this mess and disappear from the multiplayer fps genre, returning to their old place in the industry.
never say never, but it's extremely unlikely that quake will get another chance at multiplayer, at least within the near future. they will most likely create a single player game that can be ported to multiple platforms and will attract both older fans of the series and the new generation.
that's why i laughed at that thread asking for syncerror to be fired. it's not even necessary, realistically he's getting to see qc through it's end of life phase, and then when that's done he will either integrate himself into their new single player projects or he will part ways with id. just sit back and allow things to unfold as they should.

loadouts yes, but that was the year Overwatch came out. i'm not lying, and i used to watch zero4 play OW on stream. QL was practically empty that whole year, with everyone trying out a new thing.

Yes, but who will tune Quake Champions in a rigth way before end of life phase? SyncError can't do this.
That means we need a competent person. But how it person can do a job instead of SyncError while SyncError still in his chair?
Also my company will help to SyncError to earn a good reputation.
I don't want to sit back, i'm waiting for better Quake tooooo long, thank you.

Sorry to wake you up from your daydream but they already wanted Q3 to have 'heroes/champs/whatevers'. Why do you think there are all those characters that even have weapon preferences as bots? They only abandoned that idea because they thought it was too complicated, not enough resources to develop. Even without that happening Q3 kinda worked out according to plans, it was back than what QC is now: a pseudo-quake that killed real quake. Quake was never supposed to have strong machine guns and a sniper, and that's not just some arbitrary choice, they kill what is the unique quake play style that sets it apart from dime a dozen military FPSs. Those things belong in military shooters, especially rail. A game with rail is not quake. Btw I disregard Q2 in this case because it 1. it wasn't even developed a quake game, they just renamed it for copyright reasons. 2. It was just too insignificant to reshape the image of quake.

His post is full of factual errors, also known as lies.
But to further confirm your point about Q3A having "champions", remember original Team Fortress was a Quake mod, and yes, id Software wanted to integrate some of that stuff into Quake 3.
And later they did a very mild version, with Quake 3: Team Arena.
There were runes giving your character a "class", basically. You could either do double damage (for mid/forward defenders), or get hp/armor regen (I guess best for supporting attackers?), or get regenerating ammo (for base defenders), or get constant haste (for flag runners).
In TA, there was just one of each rune, so your team had to play classes. (If you remember QL where everyone could play doubler or scout, this was not the case in TA)
There were also regenerating abilities: Medkit (think Anarki), Personal Teleporter (not exactly Ranger, but close enough), Invulnerability Sphere (Clutch) and the glorious Kamikaze (no wonder they didn't make an ability like that in QC).
All of this was in Quake 3 Arena back in the year 2000.
You heard it right, id Software copied Overwatch in 2000, and then Team Fortress copied Overwatch in 1996!
All this in communication with Zero4 who was 12 at the time.

But that was just a mod, one of many mods created by / for certain small parts of the community, not the core game/gameplay.
By Lam + + | - Reply to #10
Team Arena was the official expansion pack for Quake 3 Arena. It was released to stores on CDs, you know, what you children call a DLC now.
In other words, NOT A MOD. Quake 3 Arena had this. (Yes, they were inspired by several Q1/QW mods, that includes Team Fortress but more 3wave CTF which also had the runes (classes), they toned it down for TA, then toned it down even more for inclusion in QL - but it was there too, for a while)

Team Arena still required Quake 3 to be installed for it to run, so how isn't it a mod?
Expansion packs are just production level mods.
Expansion packs are waaay older than mods, so proper definition should be: mods are community produced poor man's expansion packs that you download from the Internet instead of buying a CD in a nice box.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? I was answering to him mentioning "team fortress" which was a community made mod for QW, not "team arena".... "what you children call a DLC now" Lmao, do you even know what QW is, or are you one one of the dumbasses who thinks the "3" is just magic number in Quake 3 arena, which is you think is the original quake? :)
That was after Team Fortress, but that was also before Duel vastly became a must for arena fps games. And it was also at a time where we had a very versatile game engine, and plenty of reasons to have a game like that. Maps, servers, mods, community, blah blah blah the list goes on. Zero4 played some kind of role in QC, and it was gameplay related I can guarantee you that. What kind of gameplay, well that is opinionated but at any rate, there was practically nothing really done in QC by beta. Which tells me that they did some scrapping, or they kept changing their goal. Their story is bullshit, and everyone is fine with that. Mine is a conspiracy, but it's also obvious\evident in how these years have gone. I never said Zero4 was the guy that made loadouts, I said he was a part of constructing gameplay balance for what probably was going to be a MOBA. I could be wrong, maybe I am... but he was picked up during the drawing board years at some point. There are plenty of games that have loadouts, not just MOBA's rofl.
You're either completely clueless or trolling so hard we've reached absolute Poe.
I will attempt dissecting this. Please respond using Enter key. I think your main one is broken, but there's another one on the bottom right of the keyboard, can you find it?
1. Duel was played way before Q3A, remember Thresh winning JC's Ferrari? That was duel. And that was like 4 years after people organized duel tournaments in Doom.
2. I agree QC needs maps. It has enough duel maps for a season of QPL, but it has maybe 2 TDM maps and absolute zero of CTF maps. Even FFA players complain about playing 8 man FFA on the current (duel) map pool. Those Gen Z weaklings should try QW...
3. Zero4 was hired in February 2017. Which is aeons after some ideas were prototyped in QL engine, after Saber was hired, and even after Quake Champions was tested by multiple other players, and actually played in pro show matches at QuakeCon 2016.
4. I've heard enough about actual actors in the story to tell you they genuinely wanted QL to succeed, tested loadouts in QL to appeal to noobs, then prototyped kind-of-QC in that engine and then tried to sell that to higher-ups as the way to revive the brand.
We don't like it, we think it's stupid, we know id Software has tried the same shit before (see above) and it didn't work, but when talking to investors, you don't tell them "we want to make a better Team Arena" and you definitely don't tell them "we want to release a new Arena FPS in the style of Quake 3". No, you tell them "we will make you a hero shooter like the most popular FPS today" (which back then was Overwatch I assume?)
So they got green-lit but tried to make it still Quake-enough... Because at least Sync really loves Quake (and sponge, well, he genuinely thinks he's making it better so you can't suspect him of bad intentions, but...)
And I actually supported all that, until they made every champion move at half speed. And made all maps have door frames lower than any champion's head. I mean both maps because there are like 2 maps tops, right?
Let me fucking move and I will enjoy the game with whatever stupid abilities you put in it, I don't care about those, I just want to Quake!
Aaaaanyway, Zero4 didn't even know what's cooking, and he wasn't really part of the scene when it was happening. And you have no idea what a MOBA is. And you have no idea who made loadouts and why, and how QC came to be.

According to this design document these "classes" only differed in speedfactor and damagefactor ...
dont see abilities ... so there is no overwatch predecessor ..
but yeah TF 1996 is the real predecessor of overwatch, I didnt like tf of 1996, dont like ow now, but the blizzard brand behind it makes the difference

Yes, q3 was supposed to have different classes with different speeds, stacks etc..Tnkjr was supposed to be a slow champ with high stack for example. They even wanted to add things like lamps as pickup items for maps with a lot of fog. You can read about it in really old previews back from 1998-99.

if you got stuck on the addition of the rail gun, then you're in some serious trouble dude. it isn't going away. it's 80 dmg in QL, nerfed at least. i'd admit that the game is 'slower' and campy for it's addition. it's pretty gay in some gamemodes, but it's 20 years too late for someone to want to remove it. it still has it's uses in more competitive matches, it helps with securing frags without as much risk. then again, it is risk and reward to use it. nerfing rockets to be more close range, and having a gun dedicated for long range isn't as big of a deal, it might be a difference in how you play with the guns. i assume you play quakeworld, you know how the rockets are in that game... you aim them almost as if you're aiming a railgun.
and about the q3 era heroes thing, it would have been okay back then, they were putting out maps. there were community based mods, plenty of gamemodes, a server browser, a large enough community. team fortress was a good example of that time period. but it would have turned quake into a team based shooter, almost exclusively. there was enough versatility for it to had been okay, but as for duel. no, it would never work right. it's absolute bullshit and everyone knows what i'm talking about. stack variation is a sin sir.
Anything going away is not the point. The point is showing why it's ironical when fans of Q3/QL who usually only played those previously, curse at QL for being a pseudoquake that's killing quake.
If you played through the era when quake came out and quickly became the badass competitive FPS, you see that Q3 is way-way closer to being a QC v1.0 than a quake game. That's why back then almost all the players who were good at quake didn't bother with Q3 for many-many years, just kept on playing quake. I remember some lans when both were out already, quakers watched some Q3 games, maybe tried it for a couple of minutes and nodded their shoulder in disinterest. Mutilated movement + sniper for people who aren't skilled enough to fight and dodge maintaining dynamic movement, just a stepback so what's the point. Accordingly when you watched the community, it was clear that the people who were getting their asses kicked despite tryharding who jumped on to Q3.

QL\Q3A was never about flying and shooting at the same time, this is the kind of stupid shit CPMA players argue about. I mean, why not play the game 10x speed and give yourself a seizure? Just because you play something faster, it doesn't mean you're playing a harder game. Quake Live\Q3A is already fast, but it isn't about speed. That is where you're getting it wrong. Why do you think they would nerf the speed from QW to what it is now? It's a more strategy dependant game.
With that aside, this shit is getting too old. Arguing with people over VQ3 in 2019, you can do that with someone else.
You kinda mixing up the timeline here, talking as if someone took Q3 and made it faster, and booo, why do that... Reminder: there was quake - and they made it slower, took away bunnyhopping. It was noobification plain and simple. It's the same stuff Q3 palyers whine about when it comes to QC: they took away things to make skill count less.
quakeworld gave the q1 community a better engine and netcode, but net quake was the earliest starting point, lest we forget the era of thresh and makaveli. there was less bunnyhopping in nq because you would always lose some amount of speed with each jump, and because the server ran at 20fps while the client was running at a higher framerate, so it made the aircontrol feel wonky. you would gain almost no speed and lose what little you gained of it on the next jump. both of these things were solved with qw.
but the biggest turnoff is not really in the movement, it's the overall power of weapons that matters more than bunnyhopping. there are a lot of vq3/ql players who have at least tried or even switched to cpm for an extended period of time, pql, warsow, xonotic. but even if they are partial or can evem like aircontrol as much as they like standard vq3 movement, most don't even care to install quakeworld once, and for good reason. the damage in quakeworld is higher and the weapons are more combat effective than vq3 or cpm or any other quake 3 spinoff. if anything they are more likely to try qw in the 4v4 tdm mode if they are tdm enthusiasts, than in duel.
it's also other things like the change to the megahealth time, the non tiered armors that allow you to continually cycle armors regardless of what your current armor is. the prescence of the railgun which allows for chip away damage at long range to equalize the difference in stacks. quake 3/live design allows for more defensive options than qw, more options for comebacks, and a higher time to kill. hence those calling it "nerfquake" back in the day.
vq3 and later ql had the longest period of interest, and even now still has more concurrent players than qw. no one likes to mock qw as it's part of the heritage (unless you ask some dickhead na players who have the vq3 dick up their ass), but they play q3 and ql because it's got the most players and they enjoy the gameplay features of it.
there's also never really been a qw circuit, so it makes no sense to compare pros who play and like qw and pros who play and liked q3 or q4. at least with starcraft, there is still a ksl or asl so you could cross examine the two games. such a thing is unlikely to happen for qw.
The point in short is, that if you look at the changes from QW to Q3/QL, they are all nerfs. Not optimizations.
It's 0 surprise if you got into quake at the birth of it, because after a few of years back than the discussion already was about how to not scare away new people who get stomped by super high skill ceiling hitting vets.

It is all subjective, some people prefer fast paced games where you zone in and play aggressive. Some people prefer a balance, and others prefer a slower more methodical gameplay. If you look at Counter Strike, they play that slower than Quake but it isn't necessarily dumbed down. It's as good if not better than many things that Quake failed to do. So why does it matter if Q3A and QL did their own thing? What matters is that QC sucks ass, and the reason being is that it didn't establish a real purpose. I am openminded, I play everything under the sun, even QC. The game hasn't got a direction, it's dumb. QL and Q3A had memorable tournaments, and good enough gameplay to last 10+ years which is better than the Unreal Tournament franchise per title. You're practically talking down on a perfectly good competitive title. It might be different, but it is Arena FPS.
And on the contrary, I don't have anything against CPMA and QW. They're fun games, and I've had both installed on my PC for 7 years now. If I felt like diving into an older Quake game, it might take time to get to know it. But it wouldn't be impossible, as with CPMA which I learned at the same time as QL. I played Q4, QW and even UT. All of which I had no real trouble adjusting to, and if I really wanted to play QW over anything else I could have just as much played that instead. I chose QL, easily. People complain over the littlist things I swear. Life is short, live some.

Answers to selected exercises in the systems thinking and modelling series.
Insight Maker doesn't complain because its simulation engine is smart enough to convert the myriad of similar dimensions, e.g., miles, kilometers, feet, etc. However, it's best to make conversions explicit, otherwise models become very difficult to understand.
One alternative would be to start with Distance to Grandmas House = 0 and add to the stock as Red walks toward it. This way the model is tracking the distance traveled rather than the distance remaining.
It takes time for a flow to change a stock and even longer for that flow to change a flow. It's important to remember that reducing a flow still adds to the stock, just a bit slower.
There are actually two approaches: 1) Figure out how to shorten the delay; or 2) Slow down the action and wait for the feedback before further action. There are times when these approaches may be applied. Due to the nature of the situation there are other times when you simply need to act and then deal with the effects later.
It would be better to build a statistical model in this case.
It would be better to build a mechanistic model in this case.

Any dinner for expats on Xmas Eve?
Speaking of Christmas, this recipe appears in today new york times for a little old fashioned christmas.
You begin by beating the egg yolks and sugar until they're as thick as meringue, then loosen them up with bourbon and Cognac and, eventually, fold in both whipped cream and whipped egg whites, so it's like a giant bowl of faintly boozy chiffon. Claiborne smartly adds salt to the egg whites to amplify and sharpen the flavors. The alcohol, which may seem like a lot when you're pouring it in, actually isn't much — just 2 cups to 6 cups other liquid — and so it swims through the layers of egg and cream as an echo to the nog rather than as a belt of good cheer.
As Freeman pointed out, "It's important to get good farm-fresh eggs, with really orange yolks and really thick cream; these are the main constituents of the drink." Halve the recipe for a smaller gathering.

According to the team, what helped most was that each designer was already dedicated to Clashing. They knew what they wished as a crew and as fans of the sport. We have been pushed by our personal want to play, not by market analysis or hearing from above that 'this needs to be performed'. At Supercell, we're all market researchers", says Andreas.

Tampa addresses chronic flooding as climate challenges loom

Yet as dramatic as the pipe project looks, it's only the beginning of what Tampa needs to protect itself from changing climate. Rising seas could eventually erase the massive $251 million program in stormwater improvements approved by the City Council in 2016 unless more is done.
Property owners have already paid five years of fees from that 2016 assessment that will soon reach nearly $90 a year for the owner of an average-sized home. Over the next 25 years, those fees will help pay for the large-scale overhaul. And, Bhide said, the city hopes to piggyback on the extensive water and sewer repairs being done all over the city as part of its $2.9 billion infrastructure repair plan, which was approved last year.

A chef's ode to grandmas' cooking, Deseez aspires to preserve the flavours of our childhood with a nostalgia laden menu that's made fresh and delicious when you order! After all the pastas and pizzas, it's actually 'desi' food we truly crave and that's where Deseez figures in!
Everything on the menu is full of aroma with a special emphasis on Indian spices, so if you're looking at a Netflix-and-Chill kind of menu then stick with the rolls and starters. The lamb seekh roll and the paneer lalbagh roll are the perfect balance of bread versus filling. Then come the incredible selection of kebabs and tikkas from which we recommend the bharwan tangri kebab, gosht ki seekh, chapli kebab, lehsuni fish tikka, paneer til kofta kebab and beetroot galouti. This is barely half the selection and it is all good! Pair a side of dal makhni and garlic naan for a complete kebab meal. Speaking of complete meals, their biryanis qualify too. The murgh dum biryani will leave a taste you will crave for but the best part is their regional biryani selection, including chettinaadu kodi biryani and lamb vindaloo biryani which are meals in themselves!
For a larger and more wholesome meal, we suggest you add a few main course dishes to your order. The portions are hearty so keep that in mind! Skip the butter chicken and go for the mutton rogan josh, quail nargisi kofta and teen mirch ka kadhai paneer and have these with the keema kulcha or the pudina parantha. Deseez has you sorted for dessert too. Finish your meal with the red velvet shahi tukra and gulab jamun cheesecake.


The first outdoor Augmented Reality campaign in the world, was done last year by Disney to promote their movie Prince of Persia. Now Ford is taking the AR technique to another level. With the campaign for the new Ford C-Max it has the premiere of the first outdoor AR campaign that also uses 3D depth imaging technology. This campaign allows people to handle and explore a 3D virtual model of the car on screen and in the palm of their hand. Virtual buttons allow the user to – for instance – choose the colour of the car, open doors, fold the seats flat or turn the car 360 degrees in the palm of their hand.

First Prize For A Second Chance Award – Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, East Hanover "Recycling electronics is good, but extending their life cycle through RE-USE is great!" affirms Lawrence Kunz, manager, Environmental & Energy Management at Novartis. In 2011, Novartis shifted the focus of its e-waste program from recycling e-waste toward refurbishing/reusing that material and was able to insure that 62% of the generated e-waste was refurbished/re-used. The refurbishing/reusing of 66,000 pounds of electronics saved over 1.9 million metric tons of equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2011. Novartis points to an EPA estimate that extending the life of equipment is at least 25 times more beneficial to the environment than recycling it. Nonetheless, Novartis recycles, too: 1,342.71 tons generated at the East Hanover facility were recycled during the first quarter of 2012.
Cleanup Superstar Award – Pastor Sidney Williams, Bethel A.M.E. Church, Morristown "Whether it was the Rev. Williams' attendance at our planning meetings, his outreach for community volunteers, or his active participation in the cleanup itself, his dedication to our shared objectives of ridding the river of trash and litter, recycling the recyclable material and preserving the watershed, his assistance and that of his congregation was invaluable," said Art Vespignani, regarding a Whippany River cleanup on March 24, 2012. The cleanup occurred because of the major flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in the summer of 2011. "It is important that I lead members of our church and our community in environmental stewardship, and what better place than our own backyard. Our church was founded on the bank of the Whippany River and until the floodwater destroyed the lower level of our sanctuary, we hadn't taken our responsibility very seriously. The river cleanup project was first of many steps we plan to take," reflected Pastor Williams. Note: The cleanup netted 60 bags of trash and recyclables, 21 bicycles, two chairs, a computer keyboard and circuit board, three car batteries, one box spring, three tires, two small appliances, one shopping cart, one No Parking sign, and one crutch, as well as about 300 pounds of metal that were left on Patriot's Path!
McRex (Morris County Recycling Excellence) Award – Michael Petonak, Boonton During the 39 years he's been employed by the Town of Boonton, Michael Petonak has worn many hats: superintendent of public works, Clean Communities coordinator, water system operator, sewer collection system operator, and deputy emergency management coordinator. A graduate of the N.J. Recycling Certification Series, Michael has also volunteered for the Boonton Fire Department for 40 years. One recent feather in his cap resulted from implementing a recycling program at the Federal housing complex, where a request for an additional trash dumpster had been made (that's how he learned that recycling was non-existent at the 60-unit complex). More recently, he oversaw the renovation of the Boonton Recycling Center in order to prepare for single-stream recycling. He and his DPW staff are justifiably proud of their updated center. "I've been extremely fortunate to have had a career that's been both fun and rewarding. It's also been most gratifying to work with a team of people from elected officials to fellow employees who've striven to make our home a better place to live and to save our natural resources for future generations," Michael said.
Michael Daigle - A freelance journalist and writer (he's working on a novel and short story collection), Michael worked for 15 years as a municipal and county reporter at the Daily Record. Michael reported on recycling-related matters during that time. He provided the following narrative about his green, plastic 55-gallon recycling container: "I'm having a contest with my trash company, whether they know it or not. I have been using the same green, plastic 55-gallon container for recyclables for maybe 10 years. The contest is who will give in: they, who have tried their best to smash the trash can, or I, who keep taping it up. It has been slammed around in the back of the trash collection truck weekly for that entire decade. It has been cracked, had the handles broken, and the rim smashed. And every time it gets close to being ruined, or ready for the recycling bin itself -- it is after all a #2 plastic item -- I tape it up. I've used cloth duct tape, and I've used metallic duct tape. I've used white duct tape, and I've used black duct tape, and I've used gray duct tape. It must make an impression. Even my kids who think that recycling means leaving their empty cans in the kitchen sink, tell their friends to do the same. And then they make fun of me. Oh well. I know it sinks in because the other day my grandson, the brilliant 20-month-old Aedan, took a folded spaghetti box off the counter and walked to the cellar door and pushed it open. Then he reached over the gate that is placed there, and threw the box downstairs toward the recycling bin, just as he had seen his father do." Clearly Michael has a great sense of humor!
Lawrence Ragonese Lawrence Ragonese is director of the press office at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Prior to joining NJDEP, he was employed by the Star-Ledger where he spent 26 years as a reporter, a columnist (he wrote about general topics related to Morris County and northwestern New Jersey), and assistant bureau chief of the Morris County Bureau. Of note: Lawrence wrote the article "Designer of recycling logo to be honored," which was about Gary Anderson, creator of the three-chasing-arrows recycling symbol, who was a guest at the Morris County recycling awards dinner on Friday, November 5, 1999. The article was published in the Star-Ledger on that day and ran state-wide, which was thrilling for the MCMUA recycling staff. Lawrence provided the following thoughts about recycling: "I have the privilege of working for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, where we ponder Big rules on Huge environmental issues every day. But I feel a most personal connection to protecting our environment through recycling. It's a simple process that can be done right at home or in the office on a daily basis. And it's a family effort in the Ragonese household, where we all proudly recycle." The voice of Lawrence, a.k.a. Larry Ragonese, reminds one MCMUA employee of the voices of both Brian Lehrer and Leonard Lopate, who host programs on New York Public Radio.
Fred Snowflack For 25 years, Fred Snowflack plied his trade at the Daily Record. During the last 10 years there, he was editorial page editor. He is now an editorial writer with the Bergen Record. "There are no secrets when 'Freddie' is around; he can read your notes upside down!" commented an MCMUA employee many years ago. That, of course, was a not-so-subtle reference to the fact that Fred did his best to ferret out the facts. Fred provided the following commentary: "As I have often said when I run into people at this dinner, I vividly recall attending the first of these dinners in 1988. Things were different then, to say the least. Garbage was big news. Landfills in New Jersey were closing, and counties were looking into building incinerators and/or landfills. Morris County at varying times explored both options. Both ran into intense opposition and ultimately, the freeholders came up with an ingenious solution. Just send garbage to Pennsylvania. So, two trash transfer stations were built to take garbage and ship it west, a practice that continues to this day. Recycling played a vital role. With tipping fees at one point in excess of $130 a ton, taking as much as possible out of the waste stream saved money. It was fun to write about garbage 'back then,' and it's great to see that this dinner continues to prosper. I am honored to be getting an award, and I must also thank my old employer, the Daily Record, for giving me the chance to write about garbage in the first place." There's usually a discernable twinkle in Fred's eyes!
It's S'cool To Be Green! Award – Mendham Township Elementary School, Mendham Township Several years ago when her two sons attended Mendham Township Elementary School (MTES), Kim Crumrine became involved in some activities and projects that focused on nurturing the planet: a Rizzo's Reptiles assembly program featuring a litter-abatement and recycling component; a recycling exhibit in the lobby display case; the creation of an outdoor education center and the composting of food waste; the formation of an MTES Green Team; a suggested environmental education component for teachers to use; the collection of Capri Sun® juice pouches to be sent to Terra Cycle. As is the norm, Kim's sons grew older and moved on to the middle school. Enter Shelly Beck, whose son was a student at MTES. Shelly became chairwoman of the MTES Green Team. Assisted by third grade teacher Laura Gallagher, fellow parent Christine Veleber, and MTES Principal, Dr. Sandra Cullis, Shelly embarked on a journey. The first leg of the trip involved collecting used plastic bottle caps for the Aveda collection program. In just six weeks, the three kindergarten classes filled up three 10-gallon trash cans with bottle caps, thereby earning their first Penguin Ice Cream party, a waste-free celebration. Somewhere along the way, students applied many of the plastic bottle caps to large plywood shapes (a few examples: a ladybug, a butterfly, and a rainbow). The stunning, multi-colored designs hang on the cafeteria walls. Shelly also did research about landfills, after which she and her teammates gave presentations to all of the students about the importance of recycling. The team labeled all classroom wastebaskets as "Landfill" and put recycling symbols and pictures on the classroom recycling receptacles. "It was refreshing to work with the MTES students because they sincerely care about the Earth and have not yet become 'so busy' that they don't have time to do the little (and, not so inconvenient) things that can make such a big difference. In fact, the kids even have fun with it, and I believe it gives them pride knowing they're doing something good," said Shelly. She also complimented the entire staff (from the principal to the teachers to the custodians) for all of their assistance. "Seeing what the children at MTES accomplished in the past year, gives me hope and confidence that change will happen," she noted.
Take One: Action! Award – Chatham Township Environmental Commission, Chatham Township Jennifer Mathews, one of the stars in the eight-minute video titled All-In-One, Single Stream Recycling is delighted that single-stream recycling has descended on the township: "We can put more out for recycling and less out for the landfill, and that's great! All-in-one, single-stream puts us in a much better place for that to happen." During 2011 when single-stream became available in the township, the Chatham Township Environmental Commission (CTEC) recognized the need to provide additional community outreach and education efforts about the program. Then, Tom Salvas, manager of governmental access TV, got to work, collaborating with several others (most notably, CTEC member Patricia Collington, said Tom) to produce the video, which was launched in January 2012 with posting on the Chatham Township and CTEC websites. Emails were sent to residents with a link to the video, and articles were posted on Chatham Patch and published in The Chatham Independent Press and Chatham Courier. In addition, a Chatham Township Committee meeting discussion about the video was broadcast on Comcast and FiOS cable channels, which reach more than 3,500 subscribers. Also, CTEC gave a DVD to the senior citizens center. Eileen Hladky, Chatham Township recycling coordinator, mentioned that many residents have had questions about how the single-stream materials are separated at ReCommunity Morris in Mine Hill, so she refers them to the video on the website, where they can see the separating in action. "It's an important resource to help our residents understand the guidelines and be encouraged to recycle more materials," she said. Indeed!
Composting's A Blast! Go, Rocket! Award – School District of the Chathams, Chatham Borough and Chatham Township In 2009, the Chatham Township Environmental Commission (CTEC) introduced their composting program known as "Save It To Spade It." In 2011 a new component of that program was launched: the presence of a Rocket® Composter in the School District of the Chathams (SDOC). This resulted from CTEC's receiving a Sustainable JerseyTM Grant in order to purchase the composter that is used for food waste from three of the district's six schools. Writing about the first Rocket® Composter in a public school district in New Jersey, was Julie Lange Groth, ANJEC Report editor: "Take a bucket of garbage (food waste). Add a bucket of wood chips. Pour it into a sleek, cylindrical metal contraption and wait two weeks. Out comes dark, rich organic compost that's ready to add life to the garden, green to the grass and vitality to the school curriculum." John Cataldo, supervisor of SDOC buildings and grounds; Gasper Major, assistant supervisor of SDOC buildings and grounds; and Bob McBreen, manager of SDOC School Food Services, have been very involved in the composting project. Both Gasper and Bob are pleased that 3,478 pounds of food waste became compost in 2011, and that it's been a great way to involve the children and to save the school district money because it now uses its homegrown compost on the grounds and avoids having to purchase it. Gasper Major said he's "glad to be part of such a great initiative that shows how SDOC is doing its best to help the environment." Chatham High School Principal Darren Groh described the Rocket® as "a nice addition to SDOC and a constant reminder to the students and staff about the importance of recycling." "We hope that other school districts and municipalities have the opportunity to move in this direction of sustainability," offered Dr. Michael LaSusa, superintendent of schools.
At the 2011 dinner, guests were mesmerized by the County College of Morris (CCM) models who wore garments made by fashion design students (in one case, the designer modeled her own creation). Another CCM crew is with us this evening--bravo! Then there's Helen O'Keefe, MCMUA human resources officer, who is wearing another snazzy Leeza Tea Coco Chanel dress: a 1920s flapper-style dress made from the brightly colored cover of the August 2011 issue of Waste Age magazine, and outdated single-stream collection schedules for Mendham Township, accented with glittery lime green ribbon (eat your heart out, Daisy Buchanan!).
This year Miranda "Maize" McMua is truly a golden goddess! Leeza Tea (L.T.) has outfitted her in a dress made from corn husks. Eight of L.T.'s family members husked over 250 ears of corn to provide the "fabric" for the dress, whose bodice features a large sunflower (look at the golden beans in the center--they, of course, represent yummy, nutritious sunflower seeds). According to Wikipedia, the sunflower is "often used as a symbol of green ideology, and it is the symbol of the Vegan Society." A huge thank you to Lindekin Farms in Jefferson Township for donating the corn.
Thanks to Wharton Costco for donating the fruit and vegetables that are nestled in used and reusable glass vases, as well as to Don Budis (a.k.a. Abe Lincoln) and Sylvia Banbor, both of Rockaway Borough, for rounding up many of the vases.
Once again, Shot of Redemption is providing live music. To book the duo for an event, call 845-255-3177.
Making their second appearance at an MCMUA dinner are Stephen Ringold and Kim Winslow, two fabulous performers. For more info about The Grand Falloons, visit www.grandfalloons.com.

Edition Telemark
JONES, JOE - Solar Music Tent
"LP reissue of the cassette edition "Solar Music Tent" documenting an installation and performance in Hagen, Germany, originally released by Joe Jones in 1982 in an edition of 10 copies.
From the early 1980s onwards, Joe Jones released a handful of self-recorded music machine performances on tape under his own record label "Tone-Deaf Music". Most tapes came in a standard xeroxed sleeve with a handwritten title and instrument listing. A few, including "Solar Music Tent", were released in combination with a book: The cassette was included in a red ring binder that held a handwritten photo documentation of the performance of the same name at Karl-Ernst-Osthaus-Museum in Hagen on April 1, 1982, a handwritten music notebook, and an invitation card. The recording itself was titled "Solar Music #5" and was made on March 16, 1982, with the instrument ensemble of the Solar Music Tent at Jones' apartment in Düsseldorf.
Like the previous Jones releases on Edition Telemark, this reissue is limited to 200 copies and comes in a gate-fold PVC sleeve: The right-hand side holds the LP, the left-hand side holds A4-sized facsimiles of all artwork that was included in the original edition." - Edition Telemark.

Online Shop Statement

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we've reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We'll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently "sold out" items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we'll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we've been surprised by what's been turning up, and there's much more to come.

From collegefootballplayoff.com: Bill Hancock has achieved a unique trifecta at the highest echelon of intercollegiate athletics. He was the first full-time director of the NCAA Final Four, the first executive director of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and the first executive director of the College Football Playoff.
He has been inducted into the halls of fame of the state of Oklahoma, College Sports Information Directors and the All College Basketball Classic. A former newspaper editor, Bill has written two books. His memoir about the cross-country bicycle journey he undertook in the aftermath of his son's death, Riding With the Blue Moth, was among the top sports books after its release in October, 2005. It was re-issued in 2015. His second book, This One Day in Hobart, is a history of his home town. He is married to his high school sweetheart, the former Nicki Perry.


I made my very first Rye loaf today, and it turned out wonderful! I used a recipe from "The Practical Encyclopedia of Baking", which someone let me borrow. The bread turned out moist and not too heavy which has been a problem with some heavy grained breads.
Anyway, the only changes I made to the recipe was to do it all by hand- without a bread machine or mixer. I prefer the way completely handmade loaves come out. The rise is usually better and the taste is extremely superior.
1. Put the flours and salt in a bowl. Set aside 1 teaspoon of the caraway seeds, and add the rest to the bowl.
2. Put HALF of the water in a bowl with the yeast, let sit until frothy.
3. Mix yeast mixture and molasses into the flour mixture. I used my hands to mix until it was shaggy.
4. Knead for five minutes or so until it is smooth and elastic. It is a heavy bread so the texture will be slightly grainy. Let rise until doubled.
5. Divide dough into two pieces and roll into two 9 inch logs with slightly flattened tops. Place on a greased baking sheet or stone. Brush lightly with water and sprinkle with the remaining caraway.
6. Cover and let rise until well-risen (app. 40 minutes) Place in a preheated 450 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes until they sounds hollow.
* I used unsulphured, organic black-strap molasses. You probably could use regular molasses, but the flavor might be slightly different.
into step 3 along with the yeast-water. That's when it would make sense. Sorry no one noticed this earlier. I guess by now you solved the problem? How did your bread turn out?

The last 2 days I wanted to show something to a friend with a combination of modules and ended up twice in an endless jam. Like always!
Here some snippets.
Shame here only the camera mic worked, so it's not mixed:

From here the audio interface is back-to-life.

Fearless!

Interesting to use the STATION input instead of RESET (gate in), as it's picking the different voltages sent by each note on the BSP and different voltages means it changes also the sample (while releasing the key for instance).

These are great! Have you installed minijack to banana converters in the back of those bug frames? Great idea!
Just listed my beatstep pro for sale as i've never really got on with it and now I don't need it so much like most things I don't enjoy playing though, it sounds great in other peoples' hands, like yours!

I personally use homemade-cables, but here on this standalone case I added trios of 1/4"-3.5mm-banana jacks yes
It was fun to use, to send the signal for instance to different destinations (reverb pedal and so on).
Also no need for the person who uses it to worry for grounding if he connects the modules to other gear with 1/4" or minijacks.
I never use the BSP either you know.
I don't know what's "wrong" with this thing. Ergonomy, interface, encoders maybe... I dunno.
A few friends gave up quite fast like we did Chris.
In this configuration with one standalone case the potential is actually not so bad. The possibility to save presets, the amounts of outputs, this kind of things.
I wanted to see how it goes with this case, check the clock sync with Grille, how it feels with the Radio Music and so on.
I was struggling first with the pots/CV setting on the BSP while using it as main sequencer. Seems to be impossible on the fly. At some moments I had the impression it works. Always need to stop the sequencer, set voltage while stopped, then it goes. I won't use it much so it does not really matters, but it's kind of weird to think I should look at a manual to be sure actually.

It definitely lends itself to only controlling 2-4 things at a time quite well, I think the resolution of the encoders is all wrong for setting voltages, so many times I'm sitting there spinning and encoder for 4-5 whole rotations to get the effect I want on a single step, it gets exhausting after a while! Richard who I run the label with is an absolute wizard on the bsp, but using it via midi to control a vermona drm1 yields so much better results - he can 'play' in the sequences on the pads and have the velocity of his playing translate really nicely into dynamic sequences. With the analog outs it's kind of 1 dimensional and takes way too much tweaking to get it to sound interesting, or some other modulation/cv coming from elsewhere. To be honest though as a midi/clock sync/division tool it's still pretty cheap! Just doesn't do what I want it to these videos make me want another radio music.....!
I too gave up on the BSP - though it looks like quite a good complement for a 'small' setup like this. I only ever used it for drum gates and pitch cv and it was quite good, but didn't click for me (too clever / too many options)

Q: Adding 2D matrices as numpy arrays I want to add two 3x2 matrices, g and temp_g.
Currently g is
[[  2.77777778e+000   6.58946653e-039]
 [  4.96398713e+173   1.64736663e-039]
 [ -1.88888889e+000  -3.29473326e-039]]

And temp_g is:
[[ -5.00000000e-01  -2.77777778e+00]
 [ -1.24900090e-16  -4.44444444e-01]
 [  5.00000000e-01   1.88888889e+00]]

But when I do g = g + temp_g, and output g, I get this:
[[  2.27777778e+000  -2.77777778e+000]
 [  4.96398713e+173  -4.44444444e-001]
 [ -1.38888889e+000   1.88888889e+000]]

Maybe I'm having trouble understanding long float numbers... but is this what the result ought to be? I expected that g[0][0] would get added to temp_g[0][0], and g[0][1] to temp_g [0][1] and so on...

A: Your addition is working fine, but your two arrays have some seriously different orders of magnitude.
Taking for example 4.96398713e+173 - 1.24900090e-16, your first number is 189 orders of magnitude bigger than the second. Floating point numbers don't have this level or accuracy, you're talking about talking a number with ~170 0s at the end of it and adding a number along the lines of 0.00000000000000001249 to it.
I would suggest looking at this to see some of the limitations of floating point numbers (in all languages, not just necessarily Python).
The Decimal library can be used for handling numbers more accurately than floats.
import numpy as np
import decimal

a = decimal.Decimal(4.96398713e+173)
b = decimal.Decimal(1.24900090e-16)

print(a+b)
# 4.963987129999999822073620193E+173

# You can also set the dtype of your array to decimal.Decimal
a = np.array([[  2.77777778e+000,   6.58946653e-039],
              [  4.96398713e+173,   1.64736663e-039],
              [ -1.88888889e+000, -3.29473326e-039]],
             dtype=np.dtype(decimal.Decimal))
