It wasn't very long ago when PRN Funding wrote a 3-part series on the healthcare cash flow crisis in America, giving a glimpse into the actual costs of America's healthcare system. Written at the end of 2004,we shared a startling statistic in the three-part Cash Poor Series, 1/3 of the nation's hospitals were operating in the red. Just 4 years later, 50% of America's hospitals are currently operating in the red, and many are in the midst of cutting back on services and staffing.
According to an article that appeared in today's Los Angeles Times, "Forty-four percent of hospitals have seen declines in surgeries, with hip procedures showing the steepest drop-off at 45%, according to another new survey. As a result, 47% of the hospitals surveyed expect to make staff cuts, and 69% plan to cancel or delay equipment purchases, according to the survey by Novation, a company that manages supplier contracts for hospitals.
Novation has responded by demanding that vendors maintain or roll back prices on the goods they sell to hospitals."

Myneandyours suggests date for "Brenter" Referendum
London -born artist Myneandyours paints an impromptu mural in The East End (Clerkenwell) proposing a date for the next UK-wide referendum to re-enter the EU (or "Brenter"). Finished at 4am this morning with help from Dr. Lee Bofkin, from Global Street Art, the 15-metre high mural states the date when the 48% Remain minority will become a small majority, based on simple demographics (voter preferences by age and an aging population).
How did the mural come about?
Myneandyours (real name Marwan Shakarchi, born in the UK to parents who immigrated from Iraq in 1982 – he's Muslim) and Lee Bofkin (co-founder of Global Street Art, whose great, great grandparents all moved to the UK from Europe – he's Jewish) had planned to paint one of the walls in the Hat & Fathers car park (2 Clerkenwell Road, EC1M 5PQ) with the landlord's permission. Because of access issues the pair were forced to paint another, larger wall in the same car park but didn't have enough paint for their original design. Whilst painting the wall white on Saturday afternoon the pair got talking about Brexit.
Because of voter demographics, the young are much more pro-Europe than older generations. At some point, the pair hypothesised, there will be a switch when the large Remain minority, will become a small majority. Using a weighted average method, Lee calculated the date would be in 2022, all other things being equal.
The pair, who have been friends and worked together over the past four years, thought that painting the date on the wall would spark debate:
Myneandyours says "Art is about provoking conversation. The Leave campaign won a democratic referendum but the quality of the debate was poor, the facts were thin and the £350 million figure that was so widely used for the UK's weekly contribution to the EU was spurious. However, the number became an anchoring point and partly framed the debate. As the population ages we thought it would be interesting to offer an alternative anchoring point – a date for another referendum."
Lee Bofkin: "We're leaving Europe and this is uncharted territory. The regions that were more likely to vote out disproportionally received more EU funding – it's a cruel irony that they're likely to suffer the most from a Brexit. The feeling amongst young people, especially in London, is that they've been sold out by an older generation concerned chiefly with immigration. Marwan and I are both descendants of immigrants – we'd never have become friends if the UK hadn't accepted our families. Now we're faced with leaving the EU and the break-up of the UK."
How long did the mural take to paint?
We started painting the wall white at half seven at night. We had the idea at 9pm. We shook hands and were then committed. We started designing the mural and doing our sums soon after. We started painting the numbers at midnight and were finished by 4am. We were awake again at 9am and back at the wall soon after to take photos (and write this press release).
Does the landlord know about this?
Not exactly. OK, no – no he doesn't.
How long will the mural last?
If it makes it until the end of the day we've done well. Chances are the landlord will call us when he notices and ask us, to put it politely, to paint it out.
ABOUT MYNEANDYOURS
Myneandyours, real name Marwan Shakarchi, was born in Manchester in 1982 and lived in London until 2014, when he moved to Dubai to introduce the region to his iconic cloud design. The symbol has become synonymous with the artist himself: "Clouds are elusive. Throughout history their mysterious nature have sparked curiosity. They appear free in the sky, unbounded by any law, and invite us to believe that the same is possible for ourselves".

Drunk driving checkpoints, also called sobriety checkpoints, can check drivers for more than alcohol impairment – at least they can in California. Although drug testing at DUI checkpoints is not approved in all fifty states, California law allows law enforcement to conduct an saliva test on drivers who may be under the influence of a controlled substance.
The drug tests are a fairly new idea, and have some people questioning whether they are actually legal.
In most cases, law enforcement is not allowed to conduct warrantless searches. DUI checkpoints, however, are an exception. In most states, the law considers DUI checkpoints legal, warrantless searches.
Recently, California law enforcement introduced eight-minute swab tests to identify drivers who recently used drugs. The test reveals if the driver has any levels of methadone ,cocaine , THC (found in marijuana, prescription drugs , or methamphetamine in his / her saliva.
While some states have not instigated drug testing at DUI checkpoints, California law enforcement argues that the tests are no more invasive than traditional DUI tests, such as Breathalyzers. The driver has the right to refuse the test, just like a breath test for drunk driving. However, refusing to submit to the swab test can lead to automatic driver's license suspension.
According to supporters, the swab test will help police accurately identify and apprehend drugged drivers. On the other hand, critics claim that the test may not be accurate. Trace amounts of certain drugs can remain in your saliva for several days after consumption – long after the drug would influence you ability to safely operate a vehicle.

Q: Is there any way to retrieve data from dictionary with a tuple? Say there is a dictionary and a tuple, I want use the tuple as keys to retrieve values from the dictionary, and then put the result into another tuple.
For example, the dictionary and the tuple are below
dic = {"b": "bad", "a": "alpha", "c": "change"}
tup = ("a", "b", "c"),
and what I want is another tuple: ("alpha", "bad", "change"), is there any approach to do that?
And to be more specific, what I try to implement is to get the dic.values() result in a sequence that I desire. I am aware of the collections.OrderedDict() function, but the function is not available in my situation.

A: You can do that as:
result = [dic[i] for i in tup]

print tuple(result)
("alpha", "bad", "change")

A: Something like this would work:
>>> value_tuple = tuple(dic[k] for k in tup)
>>> print value_tuple
('alpha', 'bad', 'change')

A: print tuple(map(dic.get, tup))
# ('alpha', 'bad', 'change')

This code means that, for every value in tup, get the corresponding value from dic.

Tag: Reports
Excel is an excellent tool for analyzing data. An analyst can easily connect to and import data, perform analyses, and achieve results quickly. Export to Excel is still one of the most used features of any Business Intelligence tool on the market. The demand for "self-service BI" resulted in a lot of imported data being stored in overly large Excel files. This posed several problems. IT administrators had to deal with storage requirements. Analysts were restricted by the amount of data they could work with, and the proliferation of these "spreadmarts" storing potentially sensitive data created a governance nightmare.
Power Pivot was created to provide a self-service BI tool that solved these problems. Initially released as an add-in for Excel 2010, it contained a new analytical engine that would soon be introduced to SQL Server Analysis Services as well. Its columnar compression meant that millions of rows of data could be analyzed in Excel and would not require massive amounts of space to store. Data in Power Pivot is read-only and refreshable – ensuring integrity. It allowed analysts to set up their own analytical data sets and analyze them using a familiar looking language (DAX), and visual reporting canvas (PowerView) all from within Excel.
The original version of Power BI brought PowerPivot to Office 365 through Excel before Power BI's relaunch gave it its own consumption interface (the service) and design client (Power BI Desktop). Both the PowerPivot engine, and Power Query were incorporated into the service and Power BI Desktop, while the Silverlight based Power View was replaced with a more web friendly reporting canvas.
Excel support
Throughout all these changes, Excel has continued to be well supported in the Power BI service. Analyze in Excel allows an analyst to connect to a deployed Power BI dataset (built with Power BI Desktop) and analyze it using pivot tables, charts, etc. Recent "connect to dataset" features have made this even simpler. Organizational Data Types allow Excel data to be decorated with related data in Power BI.
Excel workbooks containing Power Pivot models have always been supported by the service. These models can even be refreshed on a regular basis. If the source data resides on premises, it can even be refreshed through the on-premises data gateway. This all because the data engine in Power BI is essentially Power Pivot.
It's that word "essentially" that causes a problem.
Datasets that are created and stored within Excel workbooks are functional but can only be accessed by that workbook. Contrast this with a dataset created by Power BI Desktop, which can be accessed by other interactive (pbix) reports, paginated reports, and as mentioned above, by Excel itself. The XMLA endpoint also allows these reports to be accessed by a myriad of third part products. None of this is true for datasets created and stored in Excel.
So why would anyone continue to create models in Excel. The reason has been until now that although Excel can connect to Power BI datasets to perform analysis, those connected workbooks would not be updated when the source dataset changes. This meant that those analysts that really care about Excel needed to work with the Excel created models. This changed recently with an announcement at Microsoft Ignite Spring 2021. In the session Drive a data Culture with Power BI: Vision, Strategy and Roadmap it was announced that very soon, Excel files connected to Power BI datasets will be automatically updated. This removes the last technical reason to continue to use Power Pivot in Excel.
Building a dataset with Power BI Desktop is fundamentally the same as building one with Excel. The two core languages and engines (M with Power Query, and DAX with Power Pivot) are equivalent between the two products. The only difference is that the engine versions found in Excel tend to lag those found in Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service itself. I'd argue that the interfaces for performing these transforms, and building the models are far superior in Power BI Desktop. not to mention the third-party add-in capability.
In this "new world" of Excel data analysis, Datasets will be created by using Power BI Desktop, deployed to the service, and then Excel will connect to them to provide deep analysis. These workbooks can then be published to the Power BI service alongside and other interactive or paginated reports for use by analysts. With this new capability, Excel truly resumes its place as a full-fledged first-class citizen in the Power BI space.
With this change, the decision of what tool to use can be based completely on its suitability to task, and not on technical limitations. There are distinct types of reports, and different sorts of users. The choice of what to use when can now be based completely on these factors. The common element among them all is the dataset.
With respect to report usage, typical usage can be seen below.
Power BI Service Report consumers Consuming all types of reports: interactive, paginated and Excel
Excel Online Report consumers Consuming Excel reports from SharePoint, Teams, or the Power BI service
Power BI Desktop Model builders
Interactive report designers Building Power BI dataset
Building interactive reports
Power BI Report Builder Paginated report designers Building paginated reports
Excel Analysts Building Excel reports
Analyzing Power BI datasets
Moving away from Power Pivot won't require any new services or infrastructure, and existing reports and models don't need to be converted. They will continue to work and be supported for the foreseeable future. Microsoft has neither said not indicated that Power Pivot in Excel is going anywhere. However, by building your new datasets in Power BI Desktop, you will be better positioned moving forward.
If you do want to migrate some or all your existing Excel based Power Pivot datasets, it's a simple matter of importing the Excel file into Power BI Desktop. This is completely different than connecting to an Excel file as a data source. From the File menu in Power BI Desktop, select Import, then select Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View. You will then select the Excel file that contains your dataset.
Power BI will then import all your Power Query queries, your Power Pivot dataset, and if you have any it will convert PowerView reports to the Power BI report types. The new report can then replace your existing Excel file. Once deployed to the Power BI service, other Excel files can connect to it if so desired.
Building your datasets with Power BI Desktop allows you to take advantage of a rich set of services, across a broad range of products, including Excel. Building them in Excel locks you into an Excel only scenario. If you already use Power BI, then there's really no reason to continue to build Power Pivot datasets in Excel.
The State of Analytics in SharePoint and Office 365
After adoption of SharePoint or Office 365, one of the first things an organization will look for is some understanding as to how the product is being adopted, and what its impact on resource allocation is. Historically, options for reporting on SharePoint have been limited at best.
The Web Analytics Service application was introduced with SharePoint 2010, and relied on a series of connected Excel workbooks and a fairly Byzantine series of staging and reporting databases. It worked so well that it was removed from the product in SharePoint 2013. The Usage logs contain a rich set of information, and they are rolled up into the Usage database, but accessing the data or persisting it beyond a short time period required a fair bit of work.
There were also third party analytical solutions, but most of these came with a hefty price tag, and they focused on page views, embedding code on a page. This approach works well enough for web pages, but it doesn't capture everything, for example document access though the .NET API. They're therefore not always well suited to collaborative environments.
SharePoint in Office 365 was initially devoid of analytics, but some basic reports have been creeping in in recent months. With the new administration portal going live, these reports moved from the relative obscurity of the compliance center to the brand new report center, and were augmented by some additional reports.
With the release of SharePoint 2016, and the announcements made at the Future of SharePoint Event on May 4 2016, we can see the additional areas where analytics are being introduced into the core product. At this point, it's a good idea to step back and have a look at the Analytics landscape as it pertains to SharePoint and Office 365.
At the moment, the analytics offerings can be grouped into 4 major categories; tenant scoped, site scoped, document scoped, and Delve Analytics. Let's have a look at each one in turn.
Tenant scoped
The tenant scoped reports are the aforementioned reports that are now available in the new Office 365 Reporting Center.
There are a number of interesting reports in here that focus primarily on the tenant as a whole. How much OneDrive space users are using, Yammer message counts, Skype meetings, emails sent and received, etc. In addition, these reports can be interacted with to show four different time periods, 7, 30, 90, and 180 days. Year over year analysis is not available.
These reports will primarily interest administrators, and it therefore makes sense that they are only available in the administration center, where administrative permissions are required to access them.
Site Scoped
Site scoped analytics contain data that is of concern to site administrators. These users are more concerned with content usage than resource allocation. These analytics features were initially announced at the Future of SharePoint event on May 4 2016, and as of this writing, have not yet rolled out.
The initial rollout will focus on content consumption, visits to the site and document views
This is welcome data to beleaguered site administrators, and it will help to identify important content, and content that maybe could be pruned. While it will be initially rolling out to SharePoint Online, the good new is that on premises users will also be able to get this through the new Analytics service application.
In a similar model to the new hybrid search, the new Analytics service application called SharePoint Insights connects to Office 365 and delivers your on premises usage data to the service – essentially everything that is kept in the logging database. From there, the service can act on it to do interesting thing. One of those interesting things will be to deliver content based activity reports like the ones seen above.
There are a few things to take note of about site scoped analytics. They are scoped to the site, not the site collection. They do not roll up into a master report, so each site must be visited in turn (they live in the "site contents" section) to see the results. As far as I'm aware, the data is only persisted for a short time (I have only seen 7 days), so time based analysis is not possible.
Document scoped
Document scoped analytics have been in the service for some time now, and the new document library exposes them. I call them analytics, but they really are just the activity stream for a document or a folder. The do offer insight, so we'll stick with the term.
From a "new style document library, you select the information icon on the right to open up the information pane. Part of that information is the activity stream of the document. In the example below I have selected a folder.
It's a welcome addition, and it is what it is. There's currently no way to aggregate the data or to pivot on it focused on anything either than the document/folder
Delve Analytics
Delve Analytics is a new offering from the Office team that focuses on the user. It analyzes a persons communications and schedule to provide insights into their work experience, with measures like time spent in meetings, time spent in email, work life balance, etc.
Delve analytics doesn't really belong in a blog post about SharePoint because it doesn't analyze any SharePoint or OneDrive data, so I'll keep this section short. For the moment at least, it is restricted to Exchange email data as a source.
Delve Analytics requires an Office 365 E5 license or it can be purchased separately. Unlike the rest of the analytics options here, there is an extra cost associated with it.
The analytics options available in Office 365 and in SharePoint have improved drastically, but are still in their infancy. Each of the approaches are targeted at different audiences (IT Pro, site admins, content authors, individuals). This approach is bot good and bad. Tailoring an approach to an audience means that the specific audience will be satisfied, but the different approaches can become somewhat disjointed. It depends on what is necessary.
Analytics at the moment are also limited to specific time slices, if time can be sliced at all and to specific dimensions/measures. This is no problem if recent activity is the only thing of interest, but if more fine grained time slices or year-over-year analyses are needed, then the out of the box approaches will fall short.
Finally, most of the reports focus on activity, there is very little information provided about the SharePoint or Office 365 inventory.
The good news in all of this is not only that Microsoft has made analytics a priority, but that all of its features in this area use publicly available APIs. this means that there is plenty of room for third party vendors to step in to fill gaps and to provide complete analytics focused solutions. In that vein, I'm very proud to announce that my company, UnlimitedViz will soon be releasing a product, tyGraph for Office 365 to do exactly that.


First of all a little side not about the severe drop in posts lately. I've been consistently traveling for work for the last two months and haven't had much downtime to sit and focus on my blog. And while I can't speak for my cohort, Critic, I know he is up to his eyeballs with his own ball of wax.
So I figured I need to start another feature to keep me somewhat on a schedule. As I've been immersed in Touhou Project for the last three months (which have been a Godsend with all the aforementioned travel), I figured a good jumping off point would be Touhou Tuesdays, where I will focus on one random Touhou Project work weather it be fanmade or official.
The game I want to focus on this time is a fanmade game called Marisa and Alice, or Marisa to Alice or MariAri. Personally I like MariAri, so it will be refereed to as such henceforth.
Like a lot of fanmade Touhou games, MariAri takes a similar game and puts a Touhou coat of paint on it and tweaks it to make it something unique. So far that is what I have loved about a lot of Touhou fanwork games. I like old school platformers like Mario, Castlevania, and Megaman, but I'd like to play different version of those games that don't always star the same cast of characters. And as I love all the girls in Touhou Project, they make great substitutes for classic gaming mascots.
MariAri is a take on a Super Famicom game that never made it to the states called Mario and Wario. In that version of the game, Mario must make his way to Luigi through a maze set up by Wario. The catch is Mario can't see because he has a bucket stuck on his head.
The premise for MariAri is similar, except you play as Alice, with Marisa's hat stuck on her head. Alice must enlist the help of her faithful doll to navigate through the maze to get to Marisa.
The puzzles are all very challenging, but with trial and error are very fun and solvable. The game is played using only your mouse, where you click on Alice to point her in the right direction. She can't jump. All she can do is walk and fall off ledges. I highly recomend using a clean and responsive mouse, otherwise the later levels will leave you very frustrated.
As I mentioned in my previous Touhou post, I'm an Alice x Marisa shipper, so of course I took a liking to this game's plot. There is actually a fairly robust story here, and thanks to the ever active Touhou community an English patch is available (here) so that us westerners can enjoy the story. A good understanding of Touhou injokes might be required, but I think it is still a cute and humorous story if you don't know that much about the characters.
Ultimately the game is great to just pick up and play a few levels when you are bored. This would be a fantastic iPhone game, but alas ZUN saw to making sure that would never happen.
Also, Max Factory, please release an Alice Figma!


Lelystad, 29 December 2016 - Tomorrow night everyone in the Netherlands will raise their glasses to the new year. The past year was a successful one for NAUPAR in which many objectives were fulfilled. And one of the highlights was perhaps the wonderful average final grade (9.3!) awarded by the independent assessing party KiyOh!
In 2016, NAUPAR launched many new packages and products. Just think of the "all aboard" packages and the Foodbook on the three flagships. But also DelfSail 2016 should be mentioned! No less than four sailing ships of NAUPAR sailed in this sixth edition. New, luxury shopping bags were also designed. And last but not least: the weekend catering of NAUPAR was completely renewed in 2016!
In 2016, there were more bachelor parties organised than in 2015. In 2016, NAUPAR also introduced a winter special again; business dinners in a great atmosphere on board of the Abel Tasman. Last but not least: In 2016, NAUPAR was nominated in the category "Best Team Attraction" of the Meetings Award. The winner will be announced on 23 January. Voting is still possible!
NAUPAR created a Foodbook over the past year. Not only for the three largest ships of the fleet, but for the ships in Amsterdam too. In addition, NAUPAR boothuren.amsterdam introduced a number of new packages.
NAUPAR is ready for 2017! With, as a first step, the awarding of the Meetings Award on 23 January. Additionally, the names of a few ships will be changed and NAUPAR will start two actions in 2017 that you might remember from before: the sail trip for the organiser of a company trip and the bloggers and vloggers action.
NAUPAR looks back on a wonderful year and would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this success.

Acquiring life skills during a challenging, fragile phase of life — learning to belong, to feel seen and included, learning to build friendships — all of this lies at the core of the Nidaros Cathedral Girls' Choir's mission.
The Requiem in Andrew Smith's version, commissioned by the choir and its conductor Anita Brevik, is loosely based on the Roman Catholic mass for the dead. Several of the texts of the traditional Requiem Mass have been replaced, however, with biblical references to the tragic fate of children, reflecting the all-too-frequent conflicts of today in which the young are innocent victims. The musical material in the Requiem takes its inspiration from Gregorian chant. Melodic fragments of the ancient requiem mass can be heard in the background. Trygve Seim's improvising saxophone makes up an integral part of the whole, yet lives a life of its own in close companionship with the singers and Ståle Storløkken on organ.
The palette is expanded with the glorious strings of TrondheimSolistene in Ståle Kleiberg's Hymn to Love and The Light (with Petra Bjørkhaug, organ). These works add dimensions of faith, hope and love. And light too, when all seems dark. In life there are moments to treasure, and challenges to overcome. In the words of Helge Torvund: The light you need exists.

This album from 2L celebrates the 25th anniversary of the founding of Nidaros Cathedral Girls' Choir (Nidarosdomens jentekor) in 1992. Unusually, the the choir, conducted by Anita Brevik, has chosen to celebrate the event with a Requiem, but this is no ordinary Requiem and Andrew Smith's work commemorates the victims of the massacre in Utøya and Oslo on 22 July 2011 [read more about the background in my interview with Andrew]. For the Requiem the choir is joined by saxophonist Trgve Seim and organist Ståle Storløkken. And the album is completed with two works by the Norwegian composer Ståle Kleiberg with TrondheimSolistene.
Nidaros Cathedral is the historic cathedral in Trondheim, founded in the 11th century. The Girls' Choir, artistic director Anita Brevik, was founded in 1992 and has strong record in commissioning new music.
There is a fascinatingly ungraspable, changeable quality to Andrew Smith's Requiem which forms the centrepiece of the album. For a start, much of what you hear is improvised, as the work uses an improvising solo instrument alongside the choir. For the original performances in 2012, the improvising instrument was a trumpet as the part was written for Arve Henriksen, but as he was ill for the recording they changed to the brilliant saxophone playing of Trygve Seim heard on the album.
Using an improvisation with a large-scale work designed for choir and organ requires some organisation, and Smith has solved the problem by writing the piece in blocks, with the choir often providing aleatoric sections over which Seim improvises, so in fact both saxophone and choir provide music which will change from performance to performance.
Yet this ungraspable quality applies to the very intention of the Requiem itself, because Smith's original idea was simply for a requiem to child victims, it was whilst he was writing it that the tragic massacre happened (in 2011), with some of the victims being friends of members of the choir.
Smith has used the basic structure of the Missa pro defunctis, but replaced some of the texts with those referring to child victims and other martyrs, so there is Rachel's despair at the abduction of the children of Ramah ('Vox in Rama'), King Herod's massacre of the innocents, and Mary weeping at the foot of the cross.
Much of the writing for the choir is chant-inspired, with the organ part played by jazz-organist Ståle Storløkken creating complexity of texture. And of course the saxophone improvisation of Trgve Seim, which really makes the work distinctive and there is never any hint that the part was originally written for a trumpet. Smith interweaves his forces in blocks, and the writing is carefully yet imaginatively done so that the piece is within the capabilities of a choir of young girls (age 10 to 19), but creates a sense of complexity.
The result is very evocative, and though inevitably the combination of chant and saxophone evokes Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble in Officium, there is plenty here which is new and different. Smith's sometimes jazz-influenced harmonies seem to work well with the chant-like vocal lines from the choir. Whilst Smith is adept at creating evocative textures, drama is not lacking and the more powerful sections pack a punch. But overall, for all the work's complexity, it is the sense of the meditative which stays in the mind.
The performances are very fine, whether it is singing a long line or creating evocative aleatoric textures, the girls of the choir are never fazed by the music's demand, this is a very poised performance. Both Storløkken and Seim contribute immensely to the overall texture and ethos of the work, and for many it will be Seim's hypnotic playing which stays in the memory.
Ståle Kleiberg's music, whilst equally tonal, is rather different in that Kleiberg uses the strings of TrondheimSolistene and both his works on the disc seem to move between stubstantial string ensemble works and choral writing. Kleiberg's string writing is vigorous and striking, with the music for the girl's choir seeming floating over the top.

What to expect from Dragon Age: Inquisition at E3?
Posted Date: 19 Mar 2014 |Updated: 19-Mar-2014 |Category: Action Games |Author: Arpit |Member Level: Silver |Points: 60 |
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the latest installment in the legendary Dragon Age franchise which is about to launch some time on Autumn this year. So, what to expect from it in this year's E3 convention? Let's dive straight into it.
For those who don't know, Dragon Age: Inquisition is an upcoming game in development under Bioware which will be published by EA. The fabled series has already 2 games in its bucket namely Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 published back in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
The very first game in this series was the game that set the benchmark for other RPGs to come in future. Despite being more than 5 years old now, it till is one of the best RPGs to this date. No other RPG can match the depth in combat and story twists that Dragon Age: Origins encompassed. The attachment to some of the characters of the game is what sets it apart from other RPGs like Skyrim and Oblivion. While it's not an open-world game, it's enough to give you freedom to do things at your own place. You can't explore things freely at your will though. As you complete one set of content, the game will propel you to complete another set of content. So you see, while the game is brimming and exuding with innovation, there is not much freedom that you get in open-world RPGs like The Witcher or Skyrim for that matter. Of course, you'll have to play the game yourself to understand all its facets, but believe me, it's one of the best I have ever played.
The very next game launched back in 2011, to mediocre reception by critiques. To be candid, that game really went down the drain. It' unbelievable to even think how low they stoop just for the sake of cashing in on the franchise. After all, it was EA who was behind the franchise now. By the time Dragon Age 2 was in development, EA had already bought the game developing company Bioware. So everything including funding and publishing the game was in their hands now. We all know that they taint everything they touch. So it' was not a surprise to see the franchise going downhill after a monumental first game.
So how do things fare for Dragon Age: Inquisition? We don't know much about it, still. But from the footage that was showcased a few days ago, it's pretty overt that they are taking an open world approach this time around. It can't be a bad thing, right? Moreover, they have changed the engine of the game. So instead of their same old engine, they are rooting for their flagship engine Frostbite 3. We know how pretty a game can look when it's developed in this engine. Games like Battlefield 3 and 4 are testament to the fact that Frostbite engine is one of the most impressive game engines of history capable of rendering real life like images in the game with ease. Form what they have showcased us so far, it's pretty overt that the game is going to look really pretty once it's finally out in the market. So you don't need to worry about the graphics at all.
If anything, I am apprehensive about gameplay and lore. I don't know how it's going to do when the game is ready. With someone like Bioware behind it, there should be no concern about it being going awry, but it's EA as the publisher who is giving us every reason to believe that there is more to the game than what meets the eye. In case you don't know, EA has been nominated as one of the worst companies in America for last 3 years in succession. We hate them and all this despises are for a very concrete reason – they are destroying everything we love about games. Form forcing multiplayer down our face to introducing mictrotransactions in almost every game, their intentions are to make as much money ass possible in the short term. So there is every reason to believe that they are planning to do something like that in this game as well.

This Clean Eating Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore recipe saved dinner!
I recently spent several weeks prepping my house so I could show it and sell it. It was an ordeal because half my cooking tools/gadgets were packed and my kitchen always needed to be in perfect, "hotel-like" condition in case somebody wanted to come by and see it at any moment. So that left me with limited ability to cook. Not good for a food blogger!!
But kitchen woes aside, it forced me to rely on my slow cooker. A slow cooker that was temporarily stored in the oven when I had to find a hiding spot for it in order to show the house.
Of course, a few days later, I forgot it was in there and turned on the oven to a lovely 400 degrees F. Needless to say, slow cookers are not meant to be baked in the oven and my house was smelling more like plastic then like a tasty dinner that day.
I cooled it off, washed off the odd "red spider web" looking stuff that was suddenly all over the inside of the heating unit as well as the crock (what do they glaze those crocks with anyway????) and gave it a try.
Amazingly, it actually survived and cooks just as well as it ever did. I mean, I expected the crock to survive, but the heating unit I thought was toast for sure.
Thankfully, it's just fine and so was my Clean Eating Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore recipe. I loved making this simply because the ingredients were simple and I had the whole thing in the crock in about 5 minutes. Super easy and dinner was incredibly tasty. Mini Chef absolutely adored it and even took some for lunch the next day. Gotta love good leftovers!!
Serve this over your favorite pasta or even over Zoodles! Either way, it's a fabulously delicious dinner!
This delicious meal cooks itself while you do other things!
Place the raw chicken in the base of your crock and top with the mushrooms and chopped pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except salt, and whisk together to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies making sure it sinks down to the bottom and around the edges to prevent burning.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours and serve over your favorite pasta or even over Zoodles.

Re: Black Cross - Red Star. Air War over the Eastern Front, Vol. 4: Stalingrad to Kuban 1942-1943.
Why are U.S. readers being sold a "lesser" edition?
Posted at the bottom of the page on vol. IV at the Vaktel Förlag website.
"Large format, heavily illustrated, (aircraft color profiles in the British edition) !"
The British edition of Vol. 4 is hard cover and contains colour profiles. ISBN 978-91-88441-21-8.
The British edition of Vol. 4 will be published in May 2019.
The U.S. edition of Vol. 4 is paperback and entirely b&w (except for the cover). ISBN 978-91-88441-50-8.
The U.S. edition of Vol. 4 will be published in April 2019."
I will certainly be waiting until May to buy the British hardback edition.

That is entirely because in order to have a book distributor in the United States who accepts books that are sent from a printer, one must have a warehouse in the United States. That is the rule. Living in Europe, that is unfortunately not possible for me. So the only possibility for me to have the book published in the United States is to have it a print on demand book via Ingram Spark. (No U.S. book stores would order a book from Europe.) Ingram Spark does not do hardcover copies, only softcover. It goes without saying that printing a single POD book is much more expensive than the printing price for a single book in an edition of several thousand. Even a soft cover book by Ingram Spark with color profiles would cost US $ 75.00. I think that everyone will agree that rather than to buy a softcover book with color profiles, anyone would instead order a hardcover book with color profiles from Europe, particularly since that one is less expensive, even with the postage included.
So for those who would like to buy their copy via a book store in the United States, there is the U.S. softcover edition (ISBN 978-91-88441-50-8).
Black Cross/Red Star, Vol. 4 will be published in May/June 2019.
Black Cross/Red Star, Volume 4 covers the air war along the entire Eastern Front during the period winter 1942/1943 through the spring of 1943, in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet archive sources etc, and with many first-hand accounts. It will be of the same size as the other volumes, and it will also contain aircraft color profiles.
Large format, heavily illustrated, aircraft color profiles!
Vaktel förlag is a publishing house that I have founded. Finally, I have full control of what I publish. It took some time to get the rights reverted back to me. From now on, you will see the valoumes in this series getting regularly published - I plan for one each year, starting with Vol. 4 in May/June this year, followed by a very, very much updated edition of Vol. 1 (hard cover and color profiles in the European edition, soft cobver in the U.S. edition because there is no other option) before the end of this year.


The Rosewood walnut top is carefully configured to form geometric patterns, the grain being changed directionally to create a pleasing mosaic. The grain and pattern will naturally vary from item to item for a one of a kind custom piece of furniture. The inlay and base in Bronze polished to a satin sheen.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe Price Increases Again
It's now over $3,000 more than in the beginning.
Aug 02, 2021 at 4:57pm ET
Jeep Wrangler 4xe was originally launched in the U.S. with a price tag of $47,995 (MSRP), but later on it increased by $1,810 or 3.8% to $49,805.
Now, according to CarsDirect, the price went up by an additional $1,220 to $51,025, which means it's $3,030 or 6.3% more expensive than in the beginning.
That's the price of the base, but a well-equipped version called the 4-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe, which means it should not be compared simply to the entry-level conventional version. The more expensive Rubicon 4xe is at $56,220 (also $1,220 more than before).
2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe prices
Model Base Price Dest. Charge Tax Credit Effective Price
Initial $47,995 +$1,495 $7,500 $43,800
First increase $49,805 +$1,495 $7,500 $44,995
Second increase $51,025 +$1,495 $7,500 $45,020
The most important thing for the Jeep Wrangler 4xe's success is the availability of the $7,500 federal tax credit, which allows it to trigger noticeable customer interest.
When we double-checked Jeep's website, it still shows the old prices:

The Lowcountry Food Bank provides nonperishable food items, which are packed in bags and given to children at Kingston Elementary School that may not have enough food at home during the weekends.
TUA Honor Society will host four Backpack Buddies community service events this semester: February 28, March 21, and April 25. The group meets at 1:00 p.m. at the Lowcountry Food Bank located at 200 Broadway Street in Myrtle Beach. Members of the public are invited to participate. Volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes and be at least 18 years old.

His identity is still unknown. But he must have looked something like this.
No matter how many times we do it, it seems that posting flyers always causes a media uproar. These Jews can't help themselves.
It's getting to the point where they're talking about "evil Nazi flyers" basically every week.
Hey, as long as it works, we'll keep on doing it.
A man in his 70s is believed to the person who distributed American Nazi Party fliers in residential neighborhoods of Missoula, Montana, police there said.
Well done, sir. We salute you.
Mayor John Engen made the announcement during remarks at the Har Shalom synagogue on Tuesday as part of a news conference for an anti-hate campaign to show support for the Jewish community, the Billings Gazette reported.
The synagogue last month asked for extra police protection after finding the neo-Nazi literature, which accused Jews of controlling the media, in its neighborhood.
They need police protection! Against mean flyers!
Flyers are a dangerous thing, goyim. Ever get a paper cut? It's basically a deadly weapon.
The unnamed man, who lives in an assisted living facility, is believed to have downloaded the propaganda and printed it himself. He has not been arrested, and police told the Gazette that they would speak to his family about his activities. Printing and distributing the fliers is not illegal, police said.
It's not illegal, but the police will still harass his family over it.
The fliers began appearing around town within 24 hours of the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, the Montana Human Rights Network told the Gazette.
Let no one tell you the #TrumpEffect isn't real.
"The Jews' purpose is to destroy us and our families from the inside out, slowly and gradually perverting us with their own special kind of poison," according to the flier.
As part of the anti-hate campaign, titled Light in Every Window, Missoula residents have been asked to put a menorah in their windows to show support for the Jewish community in the wake of the distribution of the fliers.
Yeah, I wonder who's making money on those menorah sales? Mmmmmh.
In any case, are you going to let an old guy show you up, millennials?
Time to get flyering, boys.
Post this around universities or synagogues. Butthurt 100% guaranteed.


Milwaukee Bike Crash Lawyers Answer Motorcycle Fatality Questions | Hupy and Abraham, S.C.
Protect Your Loved One After a Motorcycle Accident If your loved one was in a motorcycle accident, you need to do whatever you can to protect them. Call Hupy and Abraham today and learn how we can help you.
Recent news from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation should put both motorcyclists and other drivers on edge.
According to the WisDOT, Wisconsin motorcycle fatalities increased in the first part of 2012. Accordingly, it is important to know what the fatality statistics are, why more fatalities may have occurred and how future motorcycle accident deaths may be avoided.
What are latest Wisconsin fatal motorcycle accident statistics?
From January 1, 2012 to mid-August, there were 72 deaths on Wisconsin roads - during the same period last year in 2011, that is 15 more motorcycle fatalities.
Why did motorcycle crash fatalities rise in 2012?
It is hard to say for sure why there was an increase in motorcycle accident deaths. However, an increase in gas prices and the early spring of 2012 may have led more people to ride motorcycles and contributed to the higher number of deaths.
How can motorists, both riders and drivers, avoid future crashes?
It takes the cooperation of motorcyclists and other drivers to avoid fatal motorcycle wrecks in Wisconsin. All drivers should follow the rules of the road, avoid distractions, and make sure that they focus on driving safely.
We hope that this information helps keep you safe, but we understand that it might not answer your most important questions.
If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in a Wisconsin motorcycle crash, then you probably have many more questions than those that we answered above. Specifically, you likely want to know what you should do next — and what kind of financial and legal recovery may be possible.
For answers to these questions, please call the experienced personal injury lawyers at Hupy and Abraham today for a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation, toll-free at 800-800-5678.

INTIMAL App©
INTIMAL App© is a mobile phone application developed by Ximena Alarcón that invites people to listen to their "migratory journeys", by walking in their surroundings, to sense place and sense presence, alone and with others across distant locations.
The app senses users' walking rhythms to be sonified and perceived as breathing. When used collectively, people can hear each others' walking patterns as "breathing", feeling embodied emotional telepresence. Within the journey the app reveals excerpts of stories of migration, that might trigger a response from the user, building the path with words and memories, as relations emerge and connect in an exercise of shared memories.
This current artistic and technical implementation was funded by The Studio Recovery Fund, awarded by The Studio, Bath Spa University's Enterprise and Innovation Hub. This fund helped to 'unlock' the possibilities of the App by developing a service for the INTIMAL app and test its usability, within the context of the pandemic lockdown. The service aims to create local and distant connections by sensing rhythms, opening new paths and insights in people's daily limited walks during and after the pandemic lockdown, and 'unlock' contemporary stories of local places, triggered by voices of Colombian migrant women from the INTIMAL Collective. This work was tested and implemented in collaboration with Service Designer Dr Liliana Rodríguez, and programmer Kieran Harte.

Awarded: The Studio Recovery Fund
I am happy to announce that I have been awarded The Studio Recovery Fund , for the sub-project UNLOCK to develop a service for the INTIMAL App© (by Ximena Alarcón, 2021), and test its usability and unlock narrative options by women in Bath, within the context of the pandemic lockdown. The mobile app will take them on "migratory journeys", helping them to explore a sense of place and a sense of presence, through their physical and emotional connections with local places, stimulating collective storytelling. The service explores alternatives to screen interfaces to feel embodied emotional telepresence. It aims to create local and distant connections by sensing rhythms, opening new paths and insights in people's daily limited walks during and after the pandemic lockdown. I am very pleased to work on this project in collaboration with the Strategy and Service's Designer Dr Liliana Rodríguez, and BSU's Creative Computing programmer Kieran Harte, to test the app's context, technological development and implementation, through a Co-design workshop with experts at The Studio, and with a User X workshop with nine women based in Bath.
The Studio Recovery Fund "aims to help freelancers, micro-businesses and third sector organisations in the BANES area". Six projects were selected over 30 businesses applications for creative technology projects that aim to promote renewal and support the region's post-pandemic recovery efforts. This is an exciting opportunity for me to test the concepts of the INTIMAL project and expand these in the local space, and across distance locations and proximities. I look forward to listen to the stories that the project helps to emerge.
As a resident at The Studio I have been exploring how to make accessible different aspects of the INTIMAL system, developed between 2017-2019. In 2020 I started as a Resident, and received support from Bath Spa University and the Graduate Internships program, to work in a prototype of the app with the support of the programmer Ricardo Graça. With The Studio Recovery Fund Award, the app goes further, exploring collaborations, and testing it with local users.

Pamela Z Award: Honorary Mention
I feel honoured for being awarded with an honorary mention of the NIME 2019's Pamela Z Award for Innovation, for the paper "INTIMAL: Walking to Find Place, Breathing to Feel Presence" who I wrote together with my co-authors Victor Evaristo González Sánchez and Çagri Erdem, and my artistic work involving migration issues, specifically for helping to "connect women's voices who are unheard and have suffered from migrating to other countries involuntarily". In this logic, I thank collaborators such as Mujer Diáspora (Diaspora Women), and her coordinator Helga Flamtermesky, who have collected and provided me with such voices, which have been heard by the INTIMAL community of Colombian Women, as a catharsis, an exercise of collective memory. Also to the INTIMAL community, who has followed me in the work to listen to these voices, and to their own migrations, and to my research assistant Lucia Nikolaia Lopez Bojorquez who supported me in the intense emotional work of annotating technically these voices to be heard by others, in the INTIMAL project.
I received a gift kindly provided by Margaret Schedel: a copy of the book "Artful Design" by Ge Wang.
Pamela Z award in the NIME Conference, was created last year and recognizes a person who is doing significant work that improves the discussion about diversity in NIME either through their research connecting people or through actions such as organisation and awareness.
This year the awardee of the Pamela Z main award is precisely the composer Margaret Schedel, who has contributed to the inclusion of diversity and NIMEs (New Interfaces for Musical Expression), and her co-authored paper "Women's Labor: Creating NIMEs from Domestic Tools".

INTIMAL is a telematic sound art research project and "embodied" system for listening to our sonic migrations.
© Ximena Alarcón, 2017-2023. All Rights Reserved.
INTIMAL's vision is to expand people's sense of place and sense of presence, with the use of embodied interfaces and networking technologies in live improvisatory sound performances, interconnecting people across local and distant locations, while creating dream-like narratives of place.
INTIMAL is conceived and led by the artist-researcher Dr. Ximena Alarcón Díaz who was awarded a Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship 2017-2019 at the RITMO Centre, Dept of Musicology, University of Oslo, for developing the first stage of this project. Now she is working independently and supported as a Resident at The Studio, Bath Spa University's Enterprise and Innovation Hub.

Q: Abbreviate Troy McClure's surname in biblatex Imagine Troy McClure wrote a book and his surname funnily enough now appears abbreviated in a biblatex+biber bibliography. The output of this is "M., Troy", but imho should better be "McC., Troy".
Question
How can I make biblatex detect prefixes like this (or at least this particular one) and get the correct abbreviated surname?
MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{bib.bib}
@book{mcd,
    author={McClure, Troy},
    title={Abbreviating My Surname In Biblatex Doesn't Work Well}}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{bib.bib}
\DeclareNameFormat{author}{%
  \usebibmacro{name:last-first}{#2}{#3}{#5}{#7}}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Output

Should be "McC., Troy. (…)".
PS: For biblatex 3.3 the \DeclareNameFormat command should be (untested):
\DeclareNameFormat{author}{\nameparts{#1}%
\usebibmacro{name:given-family}{\namepartfamilyi}{\namepartgiven}{\namepartprefix}{\namepartsuffix}}

A: Changing the author field to
author={{\relax McC}lure, Troy},

lets you achieve your objective, viz., make the surname show up as McC.
The full MWE (used with biblatex v. 3.3) -- note that I had to remove {\namepartprefix}:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{bib.bib}
@book{mcd,
    author={{\relax McC}lure, Troy},
    title={Abbreviating My Surname \dots},
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bib.bib}
\DeclareNameFormat{author}{\nameparts{#1}%
   \usebibmacro{name:given-family}{\namepartfamilyi}{\namepartgiven}{\namepartsuffix}}

Q: How are functional traces calculated? I am trying to follow this paper concerning decay rates in QFT. In equations (E.5), (E.6), (E.7), a functional trace is calculated using Feynman diagrams. However, I am struggling to see why
$$Tr[(-\partial^2)^{-1}W(x)] = \tilde{W}(0)\int\frac{d^dp}{(2\pi)^d}\frac{1}{p^2}$$
and
$$Tr[(-\partial^2)^{-1}W(x)(-\partial^2)^{-1}W(x)] = \int\frac{d^dq}{(2\pi)^d}\frac{d^dk}{(2\pi)^d}\frac{\tilde{W}(q)\tilde{W}(-q)}{k^2(k+q)^2}.$$
How should I think about these functional traces and their Feynman diagrams?

A: First write the expression in $x$ space, and then substitute the Fourier expression for $(-\partial^{2})^{-1}$ and do the $x$-space integrals
For example
$$
{\rm Tr}\left\{ W (-\partial^{2})^{-1}W  (-\partial^{2})^{-1}\right\}\\ \equiv  \int d^nx d^n x' W(x) G(x,x') W(x') G(x',x).
$$
where
$$
G(x,x')=  (-\partial^{2})^{-1}_{xx'}= \int \frac{d^np}{(2\pi)^n} \frac{e^{ip(x-x')}}{p^2}.
$$
Doing the $x$, $x'$ integrals gives your second equation.
