Epitopes are small segmented antigenic peptides that are able to elicit the immune response by recognizing B and T-cells. In the present scenario, knowledge of immunogenic epitopes specific to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) becomes highly essential for understanding the disease pathogenesis, etiology, disease screening and also for the development of suitable viral vaccine candidates.
The immune system of SARS-CoV-2 affected individuals pursue spectacular dynamism in processing the viral antigen. It was evident that the initial phase of infection was generally managed by the adaptive immune mechanisms, hence well balanced human leukocyte antigen populations are highly successful in developing anti-viral immunity. On the other hand, failure of adaptive immune response triggers inflammatory and destructive changes in the vital organs (kidney, intestine and lungs)[1]. Oxidative stress increases the production of inflammatory mediators such as TNFa, IL & IFNy that set up the condition of cytokine storms and further lead to acute respiratory distress[2],[3].
Experts in the field of immunology claim that T-cells respond well to the immunogenic peptides via activated macrophages and B-cells respond by producing specific antibodies, which has potential to neutralize the viral antigen. In this context, vaccination may be expected to boost immunity in the earlier adaptive phase[4].
Earlier publication of the world's first report on epitope identification grabs the attention of researchers in the field of immunology, and provides insight into their prediction authors have utilized a single algorithm module for distinguishing B-cell specific epitope[5]. Whereas in the event of triggering host immune response, T-cell plays an inevitable role and gains paramount importance in addition to B-cell. Hence, the present investigation aimed at identifying multiple immunogenic epitopes specific for both B and T-cells. This attempt would substantially benefit researchers in understating the residual biology of the antigenic epitopes that serves as a viable target for potential vaccine against novel coronavirus.
Sequences of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 were retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (Ref Seq: NC_045512.2). The corresponding protein structure was generated using a docking server platform simulated by Autodock 4. Epitope identification screening was performed by Phyre version 2, Ez Mol viewer and also by immune epitope database analysis/BepiPred- 2.0. Three dimensional structures of SARS-CoV-2 viral amino acid highlighting the potential antigenic epitopes specific for T and B-cells are illustrated in [Figure 1].
Figure 1: 3D structure of SARS-CoV-2 viral amino acid highlighting potential antigenic epitopes specific for T and B-cells
Five potential antigenic peptide sequences specific for B-cells were identified using variable algorithm based immune prediction analysis. The first peptide sequence (EDEEEGD) located at position 122 was suggested by Parker hydrophilicity prediction; the second sequence RKQDDK at position 323 by Emini surface accessibility; the third immunogenic sequence (KHCLHVV) at position 235 by using Kolaskar and Tongaonkar Antigenicity prediction; the fourth sequence (GSNQNGE) at position 959 by Karplus and Schulz Flexibility and the fifth sequence (PGDSSSG) at position 1431 by Chou and Fasman-Turn beta-turn predictions as shown in [Table 1].
Table 1: Summarising B-cell antigenic epitopes by variable algorithms
Our results further summarize that nearly 26 different peptides with T-cell immunogenic potential (MHC-HLA-DRB1, 3, 4, 5 specific) have been identified in the viral genome, of which the sequence 25 (SNFRVQPTESIQHRF) ranked first with the highest immunogenic score of 99.54, followed by the sequence 5 (AGIFGADPIHSLRVC), ranked second with 99.29 and the sequence 17 (AALALLLLDRLNQLE) ranked third with 98.03 in the scale of immunogenicity [supplementary Table 1] [Additional file 1].
The pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2 is already on the list of the greatest threats that human beings have ever encountered in modern history. Further emerging infection rates urge the need of potential vaccines that necessarily strengthen the immune system through humoral and adaptive backup.
In conclusion, the present analysis explores promising immunogenic epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 virus that could serve as an ideal target for potential vaccines.

We had stopped at Burwash Landing Resort on our way to Alaska earlier this year staying at the RV park located right on Kluane Lake and about 10 miles away from Destruction Bay. We have very fond memories of our stay here; as a matter of fact we stopped for lunch and stayed for breakfast!
Don was busy in the camper while Sandy took a short walk out to the area around the nearby shoreline where she spotted an old abandoned rowboat. The first image that follows is the one that Sandy took with a Canon G-9 while the second is the one that Don worked up in Photoshop giving the image a watercolor look.
We look forward to revisiting Burwash Landing and the friendly people there on our way to Alaska in 2010.

Indian Navy Commissions Third Water Jet Fast Attack Vessel
GRSE built INS Tillanchang at Karwar for commissioning ceremony. Source: Twitter|@SpokespersonMoD
Indian Navy on Thursday commissioned a water jet fast attack craft to enhance its maritime capabilities in Indian Ocean region.
Built by the government-owned Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), the third vessel 'Tillanchang' of Car Nicobar Class was commissioned on March 9 at Karwar on the western coast. The first two ships, Tamugli and Tihayu, were commissioned last year in Vishakhapatnam.
"These ships play a vital role in the light of security environment in the country and are designed to take on both conventional and asymmetric threats. Tillanchang was able to achieve the fastest speeds (more than 35 knots) among all water jet fast attack craft during speed trials," Vice Admiral Girish Luthra said.
The 50-meter-long ship is fitted with three water jet propulsion systems, powered by marine diesel engines generating 2,720 KW power. It is armed with a 30-mm main gun and a number of light, medium, heavy machine guns and a shoulder-launched IGLA surface-to-air missile to neutralize threats from the air. Tillanchang is manned by 50 personnel.

Using the shooting scripts and the fine translating that folks have done here and elsewhere, I've been compiling the pinyin romanization and Chinese characters for Firefly's Mandarin.
I've also included some of the Chinese you can see in the background of the show and some resources.
Way cool ... now all I need to is learn pronuciation better.
Tass - where you are is where you are meant to be.
This is remarkable! This is the most fantastic resource! I'm only on the F section and already I'm making lists for people to email this link to. Can I link to it extensively?
You've even got the really, really tricky ones on there that I thought people would never figure out. Knowing now what "Fang zong feng kuang de jie" means exactly gives that scene more impact.
This is just great! It is super fantastic!
Great job, Ffying! Very shiny!
now all I need to is learn pronuciation better.
I think you just elevated yourself to big damn hero status - this is super shiny!
Link away. I started this a year ago just for me and for bits on my other site, but the shooting scripts were the mother lode, so I thought I'd share. I know it's not perfect because I know very little Mandarin grammar. Coming from a student-of-Japanese background, I've been more of a characters/vocab. person.
Knowing now what "Fang zong feng kuang de jie" means exactly gives that scene more impact.
Yeah, we could all figure out Dong ma?, but they should have subtitled the long, more important ones.
This is just brilliant! So shiny and cool! Thank you!
I know a bit of Cantonese, but the Mandarin pronounciations always throw me so this is such a treat to have this as a reference. Plus, cursing in foreign languages, hey, that's just fun fun fun!
This is most excellent, Ffying2! They aught to write a folk hero song for you.
I wonder if any of the actors/actresses had good pronunciation in Chinese? It would be a lot easier learning these phrases if we could listen to the proper pronunciation.
Thank you both for the suggestion. Since I'm including the pronunciations from the scripts (when available), however, I'm trying to stick with their way as much as possible--where Zao gao is "Tzao gao" and Fozu is "FWO-tzoo."
Great site! Amazing amount of work.
zhuzui also means to shut up, be quiet. Perhaps less brisque?
Great site. Whenever I've used a Chinese quote in my sig, guess where the spelling came from :) I've had your site bookmarked for a couple of weeks now. Very shiny.
"Ai ya, wo mun wan leh."
About time! I love the site!
Hey, all. I've been doing a bit of updating and revising lately, so I thought I'd give this a bump. 谢谢 (xiexie) as always for the kind words and linking.
Wow, what a site! Thanks for all the hard work you've put into translating. I do speak Mandarin and lived for a year in Shanghai teaching English at a high school and I was getting all set to translate it by myself and now - well thanks again, I can sit back and enjoy the ride. I agree our Heroes pronunciation is a little hard to follow but still not bad on the basics. Can't wait for the movie but haven't heard when it will be released in Australia. And btw, the show has never been on tv down here but quality still makes it way across the miles.
Xiexie. I didn't actually translate much, but there was a lot of "pinyin-ating" and "hanzi-tizing." A little translating.
Very cool. I'll never understand Chinese as long as I live, and I find those that do understand it amazingly intelligent.
Very pretty to look at, though! I don't think any other language in the world lends itself as well to art as does Chinese. Maybe Arabic comes close.
Actually both words are used in the same context.
I hope the new movie uses some of these words.
It is fun to understand even a little bit of chinese when it is used.
Wow this is so shiny!!!!
I'm an online gamer (very dorky) and people are constantly shouting things in Chinese in my game.
I get to shout back now!
I prefer it without. I may not have known what words Wash was using, but I was in no doubt about what he meant. What FOX should have done is paid you for the right to use your pinyinary, & added it to their site. Glad to see your work in Finding Serenity.
On the other hand, subtitles would have let Joss avoid a flaw in the pilot. Mal says "shut up" in Mandarin three times, and each time everyone in hearing immediately shuts up. That is not realistic, especially with a group of nine such diverse individuals. I think Joss repeated it to give the audience a chance to decipher it for themselves.

What FOX should have done is paid you for the right to use your pinyinary, & added it to their site.
Thanks, but 20th Century Fox Film Corp. already owns the scripts and rewrites. They also could have had Jenny Lynn, the Mutant Enemy translator, type it all up with pinyin and characters in a fairly short time (hopefully for extra pay) if anyone on the inside had wanted that.
Glad to see your work in Finding Serenity.
Perhaps. Or maybe it was just done unnaturally to save time or keep the flow going, whether in Chinese or English.
Hi all. I've added some Serenity updates and reorganized the site to combine the Serenity parts with the Firefly parts. I've also added some pictures of the props from Serenity Fan Fest.
If nothing else, come find out what flavors Fruity Oaty Bars come in.
For those who missed it last month, I've moved my Firefly-Serenity sites off my ISP member site area.
Why do they speak in Chinese on Firefly?
Okay it's not Chinese, but what does 'scruth' mean?

McLaren: Lack of proper corners hurt us at Jeddah F1 track
Adam Cooper
McLaren boss Andreas Seidl says that the new Jeddah Formula 1 track does not play to the strengths of the MCL35M.
The circuit was expected to favour McLaren due to its fast nature, but Seidl says that the quick corners on the map are effectively straights and thus medium corner performance is more important to a lap time.
Lando Norris qualified seventh for the Saudi Arabian GP, losing out to regular rivals Charles Leclerc of Ferrari and Pierre Gasly of AlphaTauri, while Daniel Ricciardo missed out on Q3 in 11th after suffering floor damage in a kerb strike.
"In terms of the track itself, I think a lot of the corners that were supposed to be high speed are actually not corners, because they're full throttle corners," said Seidl. "And that's why I think it's not a typical, say high-speed cornering track, there's a lot of medium speed corners.
"And therefore, I think, we're pretty much where we are on these kind of tracks, which is in the middle of this battle between several teams, Ferrari, AlphaTauri and us, we have seen several times this year."

Vettel: Aston Martin "miles away" in Jeddah after surprise Q1 exit
Seidl admitted that the team should nevertheless have done better, with Ricciardo's incident having been particularly costly.
"I'm obviously not fully satisfied with the outcome of qualifying today," he said. "Because I think with the work the team has put in, together with both drivers, we made some good steps, also during the weekend in terms of performance. And I think we had quite a competitive car today in quali.
"But unfortunately, with damage to Daniel's floor, arising from a kerb hit, he couldn't show what he could do today, because I think he had good pace. And couldn't progress into Q3, which was a shame.
"It cost a lot, because in the end the floor was on the ground. Which means on his last sector, where he had I think, two green sectors, sector one, sector two, the plank was on the ground, and therefore he lost a lot on the straights. I don't know how many tenths, but that took away any chance to progress into Q3, which would have been easy without this damage."

Norris meanwhile was compromised by a yellow flag that forced the team to change its run plan.
"On Lando's side I think as well we couldn't show the full potential of the pace we had today, because of two reasons. After he got the yellow flag on his second lap, the medium run, first run in Q2, we decided to switch to the soft tyres in order to make sure we progressed to Q3.
"It wasn't also clear at that time what everyone will do, which then compromised Q3 because he didn't have two shots on new tyres. So therefore, even with a P7 a bit disappointed."

Sir Winston. Dry Bones
A 20th century quote from Sir Winston Churchill. According to Wikipedia: Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician, army officer, and writer, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. As Prime Minister, Churchill led Britain to victory in the Second World War. Churchill represented five constituencies during his career as Member of Parliament.(MP)
"Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a faithful ambassador brings health."
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from specking deceit."
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive."
"Woe to him who says to his father, "what are you begetting? Or to the woman, 'what have you brought forth?"
"All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits."


Ben Lomond Station is owned by John and Ginny Foster. They moved to the farm 26 years ago with their young family.
Ben Lomond Station is located near Queenstown and is owned by John and Ginny Foster and is one of the few high country stations owned and operated by New Zealanders. In November 2011 their son Hamish returned to the farm with his wife Rachael to run Moonlight Lodge.
Farming is the primary business on Ben Lomond Station - Merino sheep are farmed here because of their ability to survive the harsh winters and produce beautiful, super fine wool.
Around 7000 merino sheep live on the 33,000 acre station along with 200 Angus/Hereford cattle.
The Fosters are passionate about the future of the high country and have strived to ensure sustainable farming and celebrating the rich gold mining history.
Ben Lomond Station has been a key part of Queenstown's history for over 150 years.
The first run holder for Ben Lomond Station was William Rees, the founder of Queenstown. Ben Lomond was part of a run that was over 200,000 acres and included all the land in this area east of Lake Wakatipu. William Rees reportedly flipped a coin with another early pioneer, Nicholas von Tunzelmann, to decide who got which side of the lake!
Gold was discovered in the Moke and Moonlight Valleys in 1862 and brought a flood of miners. Over 3000 people lived in the Moke and Moonlight valleys during the gold rush.
These rivers were some of the richest in the world - there are stories of the early miners pulling up several ounces of gold with every shovelful - thousands of dollars today!
There is still gold in the rivers and terraces and a few keen people still seek it with modern equipment such as suction dredges and metal detectors. Hamish and Rachael's wedding rings are made of gold that Hamish found in the Moonlight Valley.

Q: The edges printed does not match the nodes I have a program that reads a file with two columns of numbers, sorts them, creates three tables, one with only the nodes (individually), one with all the edges and one that has the amount of edges for every node. The problem is that when I try to print the edges, it prints them wrong or it says it cannot find them. Through some gdb I found out that the first arrays are fine but the third stores a bunch of random numbers (or zeros) through the end. Any help would be appreciated.
The file looks like this (start/end node for each edge):
7856    8192
7754    7005

A: Core answer:
As I understand your intention, you want arraynodes to hold for each node index the offset in the edge list where the edges for that node start.
You iterate over the edge list and every time the starting point changes, you store the current offset in arraynodes. This is flawed, because not all nodes are the starting point of an edge. So if your edge list has an edge from node 5 -> 7 and then an edge from 6 -> 7 then you will register the change of the starting point from 5 to 6, but you will store the current offset at the beginning of arraynodes and not for the 5th node.
To fix this, instead do this: Keep an offset into the edge list, initially zero. Iterate over the nodes, for each node store the current offset into arraynodes. Then increment the offset as long as the starting point of the edge at the current offset is equal to the current node. This way arraynodes will tell you for each node index, at which index in the edge list the edges starting at this node are stored.
  /**
   * Assumption: Edges are sorted by their starting point.
   */

  int edge_count = maxsize;
  int edge_offset = 0;

  /**
   * For each node:
   *
   * - Store current edge_offset in arraynodes
   * - Increment edge_offset as long as the start point
  *    of the edge at that offset matches the current node.
   */
  for (int i = 0; i < nodes; i++) {
    int current_node = map[i];
    arraynodes[i] = edge_offset;

    while (edge_offset < edge_count && array[edge_offset].start == current_node) {
      edge_offset++;
    }
  }

  /**
   * Copy end-points of edges to arrayedges.
   *
   * You don't really need this, you could also directly
   * access the end-points in your output loop ...
   */
  for (int i = 0; i < edge_count; i++) {
    arrayedges[i] = array[i].end;
  }

Memory safety issues:
There are a several memory safety issues in your code:

*

*Buffer underflow: In the first pass of the loop, counter is zero, so map[counter-1] goes out of bounds.

  counter = 0;
  int nodes = 10;
  int *map = malloc(nodes * sizeof(int));
  if (map == NULL) {
    printf("Error allocating memory\n");
    abort();
  }

  for (i = 0; i < maxsize; i++) {
    if (map[counter - 1] == array[i].start)
      continue;

*Buffer overflow: When you initialize the map, you want to double its size when it's full. However, in mapdoublesize when you copy the data from the old map to the new map, you iterate over the whole new map, so the second half of this loop reads past the bounds of the old map:

  nodes *= 2;
  for (int i = 0; i < nodes; i++) {
    new_array[i] = (*map)[i];
  }

*Buffer overflow: In the last iteration of this loop: The access to array[i+1] is out of bounds:

  for (i = 0; i < maxsize; i++) {
    arrayedges[i] = array[i].end;
    if (array[i].start != array[i + 1].start) {

*Buffer overflow: In your output loop, if i is the last node, your access to arraynodes[i+1] goes out of bounds:

for (j = arraynodes[i]; j < arraynodes[i + 1]; j++) {

I do not guarantee that I found all memory safety issues. There might very well be more. I would advice you to improve the structuring and documentation of your program: Break down your program into smaller functions that do one step and document the assumptions and preconditions of this step (i.e. what are the bound of the array you are accessing?). Give the variables names that cleary describe their purpose, do not reuse variables. This should make it easier for you to spot these kinds of errors. Also I would advice you to use tools to check for memory safety issues. GCC and Clang both have a feature called ASAN that will automatically insert debug code into your binary that will detect and report memory safety issues when you run your program. You can enable this by compiling with -fsanitize=address (reference). Another tool with a similar scope would be Valgrind (reference). These programs cannot find all errors of course, since they only do dynamic analysis of the code that is actually executed. If there is a bug in some branch of your program that is not reached by the current execution, it will not be detected. So you still do not get around taking a careful look at your program.

Chantelise Review
It's been pretty well-established on my Twitch channel that I'm a big fan of the Ys games. Last year when I was streaming Ys 4 Memories of Celceta, a viewer said "Wow, this reminds me of Chantelise!"; of course, I was immediately intrigued. Since then, the game has sat in my Steam wishlist waiting until a Steam sale and an opportunity to fit it into my queue aligned. This #JRPGJuly ended up being just the right time.
Chantelise is an indie action RPG by EasyGameStation (best know for Recettear An Item Shop's Tale). The game tells the story of two sisters, Chante and Elise, who have been whisked off to a fantasy world. Upon their arrival, Chante is turned into a tiny fairy and Elise finds out that she has been chosen to be this land's next sword-wielding hero. The structure of the game is very simple: with the exception of a small hub town used for buying supplies, gameplay consists almost entirely of tackling several dungeons that are selected from a map screen. Each dungeon is comprised of about five monster-infested rooms followed by a boss room. To beat a dungeon, players must be able to clear all the rooms and beat the boss in a single attempt. The game makes this a little easier by allowing players to practice each room and boss battle individually to prepare for their run through the whole dungeon.
The game's graphics combine large detailed 2D sprites and simple 3D environments. Imagine Street Fighter 2 sprites wandering around landscapes of Ocarina of Time's level of detail. I liked this combination of styles, but it's bound to be polarizing.
I really liked this game's unique magic system. Damaging or defeating enemies drops gems of various colors. Picking these up allows Chante to cast various magic spells. You can only hold six gems at a time and the quantity and combinations of colors you have completely changes the effect of the spells. This means the player must put some thought into which gems they collect and when to use them, thus providing much of the game's strategic depth.
Chantelise's regular combat requires the player to stay on their toes and the boss battles present a very high level of challenge. When researching this game, I remember someone describing it as "anime Dark Souls" and thinking that they were making a joke. They weren't. Getting the hang of the combat took some practice but I found my eventual victories to be quite rewarding.
Considering how tough this game is, the inclusion of a practice mode was very wise on the part of the game designers. Getting to learn each room of the dungeon, and more critically, having a low-stakes way to master the boss battles, was very helpful for getting used to the combat system and being able to make progress through the story with reduced frustration.
While generally being combat-focused, the rooms of the dungeon contain puzzles and secret items that are mostly optional. Looking for these secrets was fun, though some of them were so obscure that I had to resort to using a guide to find them.
Chantelise's dialog features some great comedic writing. I laughed out loud on several occasions when reading it during my Twitch streams of this game.
Music in video games is very important to me. Chantelise features some good individual pieces but there is little consistency in how they are used. One issue that stuck out to me like a sore thumb was that the boss battle music continues playing after the fight is over. It's very jarring to be reading "Yay! We won!" dialog while still hearing intense battle music.
Between the game's simple structure and the need to practice each dungeon prior to making a final run, the game can feel repetitive after a while.
Moving a 2D sprite character through 3D polygonal environments can create some depth perception issues when landing jumps or trying to evade enemy attacks. After a little while, I managed to get used to it but it still felt somewhat imprecise.
Being a pretty popular game genre, I can often give blanket recommendations when I find an action RPG that I enjoy. In the case of Chantelise, it's not quite that simple. This game's narrow scope, considerable difficulty, unique mechanics, and cutesy graphics make for a highly unusual combination of characteristics that won't appeal to everyone. However, as someone that plays a lot of RPGs, I found what Chantelise had to offer was a refreshing break from the type of experiences the genre usually provides.
Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Completion Time: 17 hours, 32 minutes

Based on maturity level
Common sense just gives you the facts, but what it really depends on is you child's maturity level. If they play COD or Battlefield then their maturity level is pretty high. If you don't mind them hearing words such as "a--s", etc, or seeing mild blood, it won't be as bad as say, a Marvel Movie. Uncharted is a great game, just base it on your child's maturity level.

Amazing story, jaw dropping graphics!
Uncharted 4 is an outstanding action game. This game is fine for people 12 and older. It does not contain extreme violence like call of duty black ops 3 where you see a lady getting burned alive, and Uncharted 4 does not contain a lot of blood which I like because some games have so much blood to the point where it is unrealistic. For sexual content, the only thing that I saw that could be considered sexual is when Nathan (the main character) kisses his wife. Uncharted 4 has a moderate amount of swearing, you'll hear words such as "d_mn" "h_ll" a_s" "sh*t" "a**hole" but they aren't very frequent. There are some uses of alcohol, but I don't think if a child sees an animated character drink alcohol will make your child into an alcoholic as long as you've taught them the affect it has on people and that it is illegal for a kid to drink. This game is fine ages 12 and up as long as they know the difference between real life and fantasy.

This game is great! Common sense exaggerates a little. The blood is barely noticeable , the curse words are not bad, and you are mostly shooting terrorists.

Common Sense Media made it seem way worse!
I bought this for my 12 year old son for his birthday last month, and it is not as bad as the ratings! It's not bloody violence, and you barely use the gun! Violence isn't what the game is about, the single player is about treasure hunting not violence. And the multiplayer is about teamwork. The swearing is harmless, if your character got KO-ed, your character may say the "S" word. No f-bombs. I would not play this with my son as it would be awkward for him whilst he is playing with his friends. Common Sense Media said there was "drinking" and "alcohol". Well, that's not entirely true. They're not taking shots at a bar or anything. One charter drank a can of beer in some cut scenes. Nothing bad! No drugs or anything sexual either. People don't play it for the "violence" (even though it is not very violent), they play it for the treasure hunting, as what the game is about. Basically, if you would let your kid watch Indiana Jones I don't see what they couldn't play this. It's basically the same thing! They wouldn't be stuck in their rooms all day playing it either. My son only plays it for about an hour or two playing it. And it's worth the money! It was only about 35 (Australian) dollars. Also I just need to say something. Kids should be allowed to play games such as this, Call of Duty, GTA and other games like that. They would get teased for not being allowed to play games. Especially if they are in highschool!

I was 10 when my parents let me play this game.its a very good game and has mild blood and swearing. If you have let your kid see a marvel movie I think he/she should be good it does have a little swearing but its fine. For kids if you have let them see a pg13 movie. It does have alcohol but if a family member in your family drinks just think of that

Amazing game, not what you think it is
before I get any further,I have seen lots of reviews saying "there's to much violence" well of course there's gonna be. It's rated t for teens(but there is pretty much no violence). When I asked my Mum for this game she said it was a no go because of the front cover(the man is standing there with blood on all over him and holding a gun). If I'm being honest you don't even use the gun in the game that much. But the one bad thing I think is the language. The language does not reach a f-bomb but a lot of other words such as" sh1t,damn,[email protected]£h and pr1£k. Also if you think Nate kissing his wife is innaproriate then you should not even play a e rated game. This game has an amazing game and is still my favourite of all time. I hope this review helped you and have a good day.

I don't think it should be bumped down because of the language, there are no F-bombs but there are a lot of sh-words but not enough to make it "M". My guess is that it says any bad word all together 30 times in the whole campaign. The game is great and I am and was aloud to play it when I was 10. (and I still am) This game isn't too bad and isn't bad enough to change a kid in any way. I hope you consider letting your kid play Uncharted 4.

Amazing Graphics and Storyline, for ages 12 and up
Uncharted 4 A Thief's End is a great game with stunning graphics and incredible story. This game has a fair amount of shooting, killing, and blood, but not too much. There is some language such as s**t and a**hole and also some uses of crap. That's only like PG-13 movies and tell me you're joking if you haven't seen Thor Ragnarok? Mild alcohol is consumed but nothing strong. Overall, this game is ok to play for ages 12 and up! Kids 10 to 11 can watch this game but 9 and below should NOT view any aspect of it.

The Best Game of 2016!
Review: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Nathan Drake as he and his brother search for the lost pirate treasure of Captain Henry Avery. Overall, Uncharted 4 is a deeply rewarding experience, as it offers the best writing of the entire series. Its deeply personal story shines light on themes of family and loss, while providing an action-packed, sprawling adventure tale of lost treasure and betrayal. The combat is also great, as it provides insane action set pieces and fluid gun play, making this the most entertaining of the series. Uncharted 4 is an astounding piece of work, as it packs a great emphasis on story and great, moving themes, making this my selection for the best game of 2016! [Overall Score: 9.7/10] Parental Guide: Drug Content [3/5] Many scenes show characters consuming alcoholic beverages, as well as tobacco usage, though is often scoffed at by the main protagonist. Sexual Content [1/5] Aside from a few "hidden" jokes and innuendo, there is virtually nothing. Profane Content [3/5] Very frequent uses of vulgarity include "S**t", "B***h", "G*d***n", "A*s", D**n", "B*****d", "P***k", "D**k", and many more. Violent Content [4/5] Easily the most violent out of the whole series, characters shoot, punch, kick, choke, and stab there way through hoards of enemies, always resulting in small puffs of blood. Characters can also sneak up on enemies, resulting in the character snapping the enemies neck. Mutilated bodies and blood splatters are also shown during the end of the game. One cut-scene in particular shows a man shoving a knife into an enemies stomach, which is by far the most violent scene of the entire game.

After watching my son play the first mission i was on the rocks about it so wail my kids were at school i played a little and fell in love. Yes ther are the occasional curse word but nothing a 10t could not handle. No sex scenes and nothing kids should see. You do stealth kill and show no remorse for them but What game shows remorse to a guy you killed for your safty. He lies to his but to protect her. His brother smokes but we all have to learn that smoking is a humen costem.

An amazing game that shouldn't be missed. Not approatite for younger teens due to some dark themes
This game would be appropriate for older teens and up due to the darker themes the player encounters. The game is about a treasure hunter racing to find a fabled legend with his brother in order to save him. The gameplay mostly involves solving puzzles, and fighting enemies. The game does involve using stealth, guns, and hand to hand combat. The story does have some dark themes. There is an area that has a very dark tone including hanging bones/ mummified remains of pirates. A little creepy, but not gruesome. However, most of the game is light hearted and a fun adventure. There is mild language throughout the game. There is violence but there is no gore. If you need a reference think about the game being a modern Indiana Jones. This is one of the best games I have ever played. The visuals are stunning,the gameplay is tight, and the storyline is amazing. This game is not to be missed.

Africa's growing middle class drives prosperity
Sub-Saharan Africa's rising population and economies have led to a growing middle class and, in turn, more spending power which provides "a vast source of potential for prosperity," per experts at the African Development Bank.
The big picture: Since 2000, the wealth of sub-Saharan African nations has been growing much faster than the global average and than that of the more prosperous Northern African nations. And in the next five years, analysts at the International Monetary Fund expect the region's GDP to expand even faster.
Data: IMF World Economic Outlook Database; Chart: Andrew Witherspoon / Axios
Key numbers:
Africa's population has grown to 1 billion since 2010, and the continent's middle class has grown to 350 million, according to an African Development Bank estimate.
Private consumption has risen an average of 3.7% year-to-year since 2010, and that growth is expected to hold in 2018. It has been the most significant factor in the GDP growth of sub-Saharan Africa since the beginning of the century.
Consumer spending accounts for 50–60% of the growth of Africa's economy, with the second more impactful factor being investment in infrastructure.
As the population keeps growing, consumer spending is projected to rise from $680 billion in 2008 to $2.2 trillion by 2030.
Yes, but: The middle class is driving growth, but 645 million Africans still live without access to electricity and the lack of infrastructure has the potential to slow growth. Still, governments are ramping up spending on infrastructure, the African Development Bank notes. Per their analysis, public spending on infrastructure grew by 3% of GDP in 2014, and that growth is expected to stay constant for the next five years.

Higher Specialty Training Programme - T+O in North Central & East London.
Trauma and Orthopaedics covers the full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders. Our trainees enter registrar training at ST3 and work their way through to ST8. They have to have completed ST6 before sitting the exit FRCS Ortho exam and generally go on fellowship at the end of their training. We tend to focus on general trauma and the generality of orthopaedics in the first couple of years and then focus on subspecialist areas afterwards.
We are extremely fortunate in North Central London to have access to high-volume university hospitals such as UCLH and the Royal Free as well as very specialist centres such as Great Ormond Street and the Royal National Orthopaedic Centre Hospital. Rotating hospitals go throughout the area and notably at the Whittington Hospital and the North Middlesex but also out to Northwick Park and to Hertfordshire and into Essex and West London.
Our trainees are fortunate to have access to outstanding educational programmes which have transitioned from face-to-face to virtual during the COVID pandemic. We also have access to simulation facilities in the education centre at UCLH and at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. Our trainees also have access to a large number of courses across the host organisations.

Moved by a three day journey in his native country (Peru), Christian Millet's latest body of work is a pure reflection of his surroundings and experience among animals and other living creatures. His latest series titled "Ayahuasca" serves as a visceral dialogue between multiple personalities of guidance, each constantly searching for common sense and higher grade of transparency.
Influenced by pre-columbine cultures and the contemporary art world, Millet reflects and compiles after 10 years the provoke darkness and enlightenment of such shamanic ritual . This latest series of work includes mixed media works, and a combination of modular, mountable sculptures. In addition Millet features a series of two dimensional visions depicting a search and transformation that influenced his path to self discovery . Through this acceptance of his true nature, Millet invites all to experience the love/hate relationship with one's reflection in the mirror. Millet introduces a hyper reality where his fears cohabitate with his search for purpose and meaning.
Ayahuasca opens May 10th, 2014 at WAAS Gallery. The evening will feature an artist talk from 6 to 7pm, followed by the opening reception from 7 to 10pm.
Complimentary beverages are available at your pleasure.

Pawilon Najwyższej Harmonii (chiń. 太和殿, Tàihédiàn) – główny, największy budynek Zakazanego Miasta. Znajduje się w jego centrum, na dziedzińcu zewnętrznym, za Bramą Najwyższej Harmonii (Taihemen).

Pawilon zajmuje powierzchnię 2377 m². Pokryty jest czterospadową, podwójną konstrukcją dachową wspartą na potężnych kolumnach, które wewnątrz budynku są pozłacane. Wznosi się na trzech wielkich tarasach ziemnych licowanych kamieniem, z balustradami z białego marmuru. Na górę prowadzą trzy pasma schodów, z których środkowe pełni rodzaj podejścia wyłożonego marmurowymi płaskorzeźbami z wyobrażeniami smoków. Drogą tą mogła poruszać się jedynie lektyka z cesarzem.

Pawilon został wybudowany w 1420 roku, za panowania cesarza Yongle i przebudowany w 1695 roku przez cesarza Kangxi. Służył jako miejsce cesarskich audiencji, konsultacji i obchodów najważniejszych ceremonii państwowych. W nim odbywały się intronizacje nowych cesarzy, nominacje urzędnicze i audiencje dla zagranicznych poselstw. Cesarz zasiadał na tronie pośrodku sali, otoczony kadzielnicami.

Lately we've had a couple of inquires as to what beauty products we covet, so I've decided to share my, not so glamours list of my favorite, can not live with out, beauty products. As you can see from the pictures above, I'm a huge fan of drugstore beauty products. If it gets the job done, why pay more? The newest addition to this list, and by far my favorite, is the Infallible Plumping Lipgloss by L'Oreal. I'm a HUGE fan of red lipstick, which can get very messy. That's why I always use a lipstain instead of lipstick. If you've ever tried a lipstain then you know how horribly dry they can be, but once you apply the L'Oreal lipgloss over the lipstain, the problem is solved. Not only is the gloss very moisturizing, but it also adds extra color and depth to your lips. Now you know all my little secrets, or at least a few of them.
L'Oreal lipgloss 315 "Rebel Red"
L'Oreal lipgloss 306 "Plumped Red"
Day: Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor "Constantly Coral"
Night: Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor "Forever Scarlet"
I find that the Revlon Lipstains are the least drying, but any brand of lipstain is a great base to apply the L'Oreal Lipgloss on.
If you want the scoop on the expensive stuff you'll have to ask Angela. She's the one with M.A.C. and Channel in her bag. As for me, I'm more of a clothes junky.
I'm such the drug store junkie. My favorie everyday lip gloss is Covergirl LipSlicks in Cutie. I've worn that color for going on 10 years now, but when something works... stick with it.
I agree. It drives me crazy that the cosmetic companies change their lipstick colors every six months. When I find something I like, I now stock up.

A-list ski resorts
Prada meets Wrangler in Aspen and Vail, where A-list partygoers celebrate the snowy season.
by : Nikki Linton- Jan 25th, 2007
In Colorado's ritziest ski towns, a friendly rivalry exists. Who has the best skiing? The hippest nightlife? The hottest stars? At first glance, Aspen seems ahead of the game. Its residents include Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Jack Nicholson and Kevin Costner; Jennifer Aniston, Will Smith, Kate Moss and Heidi Klum were spotted around town last winter. Not that Vail's residents mind. "Celebrities come to Vail for its beautiful location and the fantastic skiing," says Ted Alvarez, arts and entertainment writer for the Vail Daily. "They really don't care about being in the spotlight — which gives you a better chance of mingling with them. Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake have been spotted here. They popped into Los Amigos — a very casual place at the bottom of the hill where you can get margaritas and Mexican food — and had to wait in line just like everybody else. There's no superstar treatment here!" As Randy Wyrick, business editor for the Vail Daily, puts it: "The people who must be seen go to Aspen; the people who own the people who must be seen go to Vail."
This former silver-mining town became a ski resort in 1947; today, property prices are sky-high. (Hollywood producer Peter Guber reportedly sold his Aspen property for $51 million!) In the last week of December, posh boutiques hold cocktail parties — Prada hosted one for Vogue's editor-at-large André Leon Talley last year — and residents like Kurt and Goldie and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones throw annual New Year's Eve dos.
"Ralph Lauren cords and high brown boots, a beige cashmere sweater by Prada, diamond studs and lots of shearling," says Susan Harvey, owner of Susie's Limited, a popular consignment boutique in Aspen.
The Sky Hotel's poolside bar, 39 Degrees, is the hippest après-ski spot in town. (Mariah Carey had a Christmas soiree there in 2004, although the details are predictably hush-hush.) Why not try a Ménage-à-Trois — a blend of Stoli h Vanil vodka, Kahlúa and Baileys, with a shot of espresso and a garnish of coffee beans — on the curvy, three-tiered sofa while you keep an eye on the ultra-cool guests in the outdoor pool? Other favourites include The Bar at The Little Nell, Ajax Tavern and the J-Bar.
Dine on Wasabi Caesar and Margherita Mussels at Elevation Restaurant & Bar (www.elevationaspen.com), or try the Ahi Tuna and lightly smoked Colorado Buffalo at L'Hostaria (www.hostaria.com). Cache Cache Bistro and Takah Sushi are also popular with the locals.
Uptown girls book into Aspen's St. Regis Resort (www.stregis.com/aspen), where celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have enjoyed romantic getaways. Other upscale cribs include The Little Nell (www.thelittlenell.com), where Oprah stays, and
Hotel Jerome (www.hoteljerome.com), host to Johnny Depp.
Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior — Aspen has no shortage of luxe boutiques. But the best place to score a black satin Chanel cocktail dress
(for just $425) is Susie's Limited. Do celebrities ever pop in? "Once in a while," admits the ultra-discreet Harvey, "but I really can't say who."
Where to unwind
After a hot-stone treatment and 20 minutes of oxygen therapy at St. Regis' Remède Spa, you'll feel ready for another day of moguls — the snowy kind.

Check out Canada's top 5 luxe ski resorts!
Created in the '60s as a European-style alpine-ski village, Vail is the largest single-mountain ski resort in North America, with 2,141 hectares of terrain, including the Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin. More than 25 years ago, Vail's luxe little sister, Beaver Creek, was born, upping Vail Valley's star rating. Although Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears are fans, the real wealth here comes from corporate titans and politicos. (Al Gore is a regular.)
"Chanel sunglasses, Earnest Sewn skinny jeans and lots of fur!" says Alejandra Aldunate, general manager of Blitz Vail boutique.
Vail's après-ski scene starts around 4 p.m. at Garfinkel's, The Red Lion and The Tap Room, then it moves on to Sanctuary, Sandbar Sports Grill and the Euro-chic Samana Lounge.
Dine on Colorado Lamb Chops and Red Pepper Risotto at Toscanini, Beaver Creek's lively Tuscan restaurant. Or try Restaurant Kelly Liken and Sweet Basil-both are big on seasonal American cuisine.
For a luxe hideaway, check in at The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera (www.rockresorts.com), a château-style resort nestled high on a private mountain, just 20 minutes from town. Enjoy a sweeping view of Vail Valley from an outdoor hot tub, or treat yourself to Avanyu Spa's High Altitude Rescue, a moisturizing body treatment that helps combat the effects of being slopeside.
"Long coats are hot this season," says Aldunate, general manager of Blitz Vail boutique. "We're carrying BCBG Max Azria, Kenzie and Diesel." For everything from cowboy boots to sheer Roberto Cavalli tops, pop into upscale outfitter Gorsuch Ltd., which has stores in Aspen, Vail and Beaver Creek.
For the perfect Ralph Lauren moment, sink into a buffed-leather sofa in The Great Room at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch on Beaver Creek Mountain. This magnificent stone-and-timber hotel is the starting point for a sleigh ride up to Zach's Cabin, a private club that opens its restaurant each evening to members of the public.

Q: PC turned on everything is blue colored When I turned on my pc it turned on with blue screen but I can see everything on background of blue color. It is like the blue color is trying to block the display.
I unplugged/plugged all connections on the computer, but nothing happened. Then I tested the VGA cable and monitor with a TV box. It's working perfectly. So what's the problem with my computer?

A: *

*to work around the damaged VGA output, use a digital connection (there are e.g. cables with a DVI plug on one end and HDMI on the other end, if PC and monitor don't have the same)

*or replace/add graphics card


Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ENPH) shares broke out on Monday, with the stock finally breaking back above its 50-day simple moving average for the first time since late July. The move came on an uptick in volume. The principal catalyst was the company's announcement that it has partnered with BayWa r.e. Solar Systems Co., Ltd., a leading solar photovoltaic (PV) distributor globally, to distribute its seventh-generation Enphase IQ microinverters to installers across Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
According to the release, BayWa r.e. will ship Enphase's IQ 7 microinverters across the region from two of its warehouses located in Thailand. This has obvious implications from an operational expansion perspective, and has already impacted the stock substantially.
Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ENPH) bills itself as a company that, together with its subsidiaries, designs, develops, and sells microinverter systems for residential and commercial markets in the United States and internationally.
The company's semiconductor-based microinverter system converts direct current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity at the individual solar module level.
It also offers energy storage systems, including its AC battery; and energy monitoring and control services.
The company sells its microinverter systems primarily to distributors, as well as directly to large installers through original equipment manufacturers and strategic partners. Enphase Energy, Inc. has a strategic partnership with Panasonic Corporation of North America for the development of AC modules.
The company was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Petaluma, California.
As we discussed earlier, ENPH just announced that it has partnered with BayWa r.e. Solar Systems Co., Ltd., a leading solar photovoltaic (PV) distributor globally, to distribute its seventh-generation Enphase IQ microinverters to installers across Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
This announcement has popped the stock higher, which certainly isn't surprising. ENPH shareholders are now sitting on about 7% in gains over the past week, with basically all of that coming on Monday.
Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ENPH) managed to rope in revenues totaling $75.9M in overall sales during the company's most recently reported quarterly financial data — a figure that represents a rate of top line growth of 1.6%, as compared to year-ago data in comparable terms.
In addition, the company is battling some balance sheet hurdles, with cash levels struggling to keep up with current liabilities ($58.5M against $114.6M, respectively).

Q: Python - Join/ Merge Based on multiple column match I would like to join two data frames based on multiple columns because there are duplicate IDs in the data sets.
I have tried a few ways, one of which is listed below.
However, I cannot get it right. The option below gives me all rows from both data frames. I figure this should be easy but for some reason, it is not working.
I checked the results. There are matches and instead of joining on the match, I just get both rows in the final data frame.
I am comparing two different data sets to ensure the same data exists in both sets.There can be more than one transaction with the same ID but I need to make sure that all that exists in one data frame, also exists in the other.
new_df = Enterprise.merge(Tableau,
                           left_on=['ID','AID','Amount','Tax','CC'],
                           right_on = ['ID','AID','Amount','Tax','CC'],
                           how='left')
