Types of Connection, Normally circuits exceeding two elements have two primary types of connections: series and parallel. A series circuit is frequently a circuit by which components are connected along just one route, so the present flows through a single element to arrive at the next one. In some circuit, voltages add around to those elements connected in the circuit, and currents will be the same through all elements. In a parallel circuit, every device is directly connected to the power source, so each device receives precisely the same voltage. The current in a very parallel circuit flows over each parallel branch also re-combines once the branches match again.
Tips to Draw Good-looking Wiring Diagrams, A fantastic wiring diagram has to be technically correct and clear to see. Be careful of all the info. For example, the diagram must demonstrate the ideal direction from the positive and negative terminals of each element. Use the correct symbols. Learn the meanings in the simple circuit symbols and judge the best ones to use. A few of the symbols have close appearance. You must discover a way to tell the differences before applying them. Draw connecting wires as direct lines. Use a dot to point line intersection, or use line jumps to signify cross lines which aren't linked. Label components including resistors and capacitors using the worth. Be sure the text positioning appears clean. In general it's better to put the positive (+) supply to the top, and the negative (-) supply in the base, in addition to the logical stream from left to right. Attempt and tidy up the placement reducing wire crossings.

Cracow Monsters through the eyes of an expert
Cracow Monsters is a relatively new addition to Netflix's streaming service, supposedly based on Slavic mythology. But is it really? In the review below, Prof. Andrzej Szyjewski from the JU Institute of Religious Studies offers his opinion on the series' faithfulness to the source material.
Recently released by Netflix as an eight-episode series, Cracow Monsters was advertised by relatively well-known names, with Kasia Adamik and Olga Chajdas as directors and a screenplay written by Magdalena Lankosz. The series' greatest asset and distinctive feature was supposed to be the introduction of pagan Slavic beliefs and mythology into a contemporary urban fantasy set in Kraków as a unique location that abounds with various demons, monsters and bloodthirsty gods. Since the horror genre is not known for its credibility and coherence, let us focus mainly on the 'Slavic' aspects of the series.
It's commonly known that there's very little to be said about pre-Christian Slavic religion (or religions) due to lack of reliable historical sources. Some researchers have concluded that the history of studying Slavic myths is doomed to lead to disappointment, that there is no Slavic mythology, and that Slavic religion was a disjointed amalgam of primitive beliefs. Others have tried to paint a broader picture of the Slavic view of the divine based on looser methodology and broader interpretations.
When asked by writers and poets about the 'validity' of their vision of Slavic mythology, I always say that in fiction even the most outlandish ideas are fair game, even if they are a far cry from facts or widely recognised interpretations. I wouldn't have any objections to the Netflix series were it not for the fact that it purportedly uses Slavic themes as its main selling point. As it stands, viewers might be mistakenly led to believe that the wide array of demonic and divine characters presented in the series has anything to do with pre-Christian Slavic mythology. I'll allow myself to provide a few corrections.
According to the screenwriter, she was inspired by a philosophical and religious treatise The God Book (Bożyca) written by Bronisław Trentowski, as of yet unpublished in its entirety. Trentowski wrote it in the 1840s and 1850s based on very limited historical sources which presented a level of knowledge and approach typical of Romantic yearnings for a Slavic mythology. Trentowski had his own vision of the Slavic religion, to which he subordinated his hardly professional analyses and comparative studies. The mythological construct he proposed is indeed intriguing and alluring, chiefly due to highly liberal use of neologisms. When fragments of the book were published in the 1860s, they gained some renown, but today they're merely a curiosity that illustrates the spirit of Romanticism in Poland.
So how do Slavic demons look like in Cracow Monsters? They can be seen in an image hanging on one of the walls of the weird dormitory/apartment hybrid inhabited by the series' protagonists: proteges of Jan Zawadzki, a professor in forensic pathology. They're based on Trentowski's cosmogony, which saw an 'all-god' Jessa ('being') at the head of the Slavic pantheon. That formless, imageless deity created the world by speaking the 'primordial word Halu', leading to the emergence of Triglav ('three-headed one') as its manifestation. Triglav is represented in the series as a carved figure with miraculous properties. The divine being tore off his three heads, one by one, and the blood flowing out of them gave birth to white, black and red gods. The white gods were associated with fire, good and beauty, while the black gods were bringers of chaos, unrest and war. The red gods are portrayed in the series as rulers of Earth and guardians of balance; Trentowski, however, saw them as gods of the beyond. It was probably their leader, Ham, who met with the main character while she was travelling to the underworld to meet with her dead mother.
As we learn throughout the series, a curse fell on Kraków in the times of its legendary founder, King Krak, causing the city to be haunted by an entity known as Chworz, which Trentowski thought of as the second most powerful black god, a great cosmic dragon that eclipsed the Sun. We also know him as the famous Wawel Dragon, to whom the Kraków inhabitants were forced to sacrifice children. As the legend goes, people rose up and Krak banished or killed the dragon. In the series, this act is attributed to Wanda, Krak's daughter.
The plot of Cracow Monsters revolves around the return of Chworz, who for some reason possesses a young boy from a dysfunctional home in order to sow chaos and destruction in Kraków. He is challenged by a group of medical students led by professor Zawadzki, adept at the mysteries of Slavic mythology, by some miraculous turn of events preserved in the old books found in his library. Judging by the illustrations, the books are more likely to be concerned with theurgy and alchemy. Though the inspirations in the visual layer of the series are clearly visible, Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth being the most obvious, they are far removed from Slavic themes.
Members of the group are chosen by the professor's assistant Lucjan Szczęsny, also known as Lucky, who seeks people gifted with supernatural abilities. Plot holes prevent the viewers from learning why such people can only be found amongst students of medicine. The group, a cliché more similar to Ghostbusters rather than the Avengers, investigates the activities of Slavic demons from a headquarters masquerading as a gift shop on ul. Grodzka. In theory, they are supervised by the professor, in practice, in most cases he either does nothing, betrays them, or forces them to break the law. One day, the group is joined by the series' protagonist, Alex. Suffering from childhood trauma and being unable to express any positive feelings, she turns out to be an incarnation of Wanda, a high priestess of the god Veles. It is she who will need to face Chworz in the series' finale.
In the meantime, the viewers are subjected to a whole series of disgusting and terrifying characters of various origins. It quickly becomes obvious that even Trentowski's inventive vocabulary and imagination is not sufficient enough to describe the mix of entities gathered under the banner of supposedly Slavic mythology. The screenplay incorporates ideas from other, more contemporary Native Slavic faith believers (Rodnovery) and New Age workshops. For instance, in episode four, Chworz summons a creature called Spas. He is, in essence, a personification of certain holidays, described by Ukrainian Rodnovery volkhv (wisewoman) Halina Lozko, which the series depicts as something similar to Ded Moroz, who in turn can be likened to Santa Claus. Over the course of the series, Spas, carrying a staff decorated with hanging dolls, busies himself with freezing and then hanging people who failed to give him a present. The 'Slavic Grinch' meets his end when Alex electrocutes him with a high voltage wire. It therefore seems that the screenwriter didn't bother to carry out at least a minimum amount of research when it came to the most key aspect of the show. She didn't know that the name 'Spas', coming from the word spasitel, which means 'saviour' and denotes Christ, is unsuitable for a pre-Christian demon.
There are many more cases like this one. The protagonists perceive the black gods as bringers of chaos, treating the concept of 'chaos' as inherently Slavic. Additionally, the screenwriter simply copied some terminology from New Age websites, introducing 'Slavic motanki dolls', but since the whole series is based on Slavic themes, what other dolls could have been used? At the end of the second episode, one of the characters sings a Bulgarian folk song Izgrela mi in exactly the same way as contemporary performers Laboratorium Tańca [Dance laboratory] perform it. In the series' finale, the protagonists bellow two of the four syllables of the Ra Ma Da Sa mantra when fighting Chworz. When doing so, they perform actions evocative of the Christian concept of possession by the devil (indeed, there's even a scene earlier where an evil spirit is banished into a pig – straight out of the synoptic gospels).
Even when the screenwriter bases the story around concepts introduced by Trentowski, she seems not to understand them and misrepresent them, either knowingly or unknowingly. The best example of this is using the neologism bożyca, which Trentowski means as 'knowledge of gods and religion', to signify a kind of protective spirit, a radiant entity guarding the main protagonist. She also calls it an Aitvara, which indeed denoted a guardian spirit, but one that watched over homesteads, not individuals. Aitvaras were reptilian in shape, brought wealth and prosperity, and were absolutely not exclusive to high priests and priestesses. However, Slavic themes are sometimes twisted for the purpose of making a joke: a certain scene introduces Piwka, a Slavic goddess of intoxication (from Polish piwo, 'beer'). In Trentowski's works, Piwkas, known more commonly as Piewkas or Piewalicas, were sweet-voiced demon servants of Belin, god of augury.
The abovementioned examples show that the 'Slavic' themes found in the series are a classic example of a postmodern simulacrum, a confused mixture of mismatched ideas taken from 19th century Romantic writings and New Age workshops. Neither the textual nor the visual layer of the series is based on Slavic beliefs, or even attempts at reconstructing the pre-Christian Slavic religion. Its 'folksy' trope is yet another cliché: Alex's grandmother is a harsh, grumbling wisewoman, serving out liqueurs and bigos (traditional Polish hunter's stew) to 'strengthen' the Kraków Ghostbusters and declaring that 'the country folk never forgot the faith of their ancestors' while producing a figurine of a Slavic deity from a hiding place. It all aims to create an impression that the villages around Kraków have somehow preserved an unadulterated version of pre-Christian Slavic cults, which flies in the face of all rules of syncretisation developed by religious studies researchers.
One of the series' strongest points could be its setting: Kraków, a city famous for its rich legendary and historical symbolism. Unfortunately, Kraków also becomes a fantastical amalgamation of real and fictitious places (such as Wanda Mound). Judging from the places visited by the protagonists during their chase after the zapadliska, they can magically jump from one side of the Vistula to the other every few seconds. The viewers will also get the impression that all classes at the Jagiellonian University are conducted solely in Collegium Novum, the administrative centre of the University. Because of this, the eponymous Kraków becomes a simulacrum just as much as the 'Slavic beliefs'. The most convincing idea related to Kraków in the series is the issue of the curse: the city is unable to develop properly, trapped in a hollow, drowned in smog and ravaged by extreme weather. In the series, Kraków becomes something akin to London, either shrouded in fog or beaten by rain. In this regard, the screenplay rises to the challenge.
In summary, Cracow Monsters is a reflection of neither Kraków nor Slavic themes. It's weak even when treated simply as a horror flick, relying on revulsion rather than dread to convey its message. But it's worst aspect is the screenplay, particularly the dialogues, recited by paper-thin characters that serve as a backdrop for the main protagonist. It is my hope that the series will be discontinued.

After No. 5 McDonogh rolled past No. 9 Roland Park, 52-38, yesterday in the quarterfinals of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland tournament, the Eagles' post-game celebration was muted because an ankle injury to All-Metro guard Brittany Mallory might force her to miss tomorrow's semifinal matchup against St. Frances.
Mallory appeared to roll her ankle after trying to block a shot with 1:45 left in the first half. The junior writhed in pain on the floor, while McDonogh coach Tom Gizzi and a trainer attended to her. She was taken to the locker room and later emerged with a bag of ice wrapped around the bottom half of her right leg.
Despite Mallory's uncertain status for tomorrow, the rest of her teammates were able to continue to dominate the game. McDonogh (20-7, 15-6) shot 44 percent from the field and never trailed against the host Reds.
"I was proud of my team for stepping up because I went down early," said Mallory, who still managed to score 10 points in the first half. "Everyone played well. I am going to go in [and get therapy] every chance I can, and hopefully be ready for Friday."
McDonogh pressed Roland Park (20-6, 14-6) from the opening tip, and the Reds had trouble making shots even when they managed to set their offense. The Eagles grabbed their biggest lead, 32-11, with 5:08 left in the third quarter as turnovers and missed shots kept the Reds from closing the gap.
Gizzi was happy with the way his team responded when Mallory went down and is hopeful the Eagles can continue their run through the playoffs even if she is not ready for the semifinals.
"When one of your main players goes down in the first half and the other girls on the floor, especially the seniors - Anastasia Wynn, Stephanie Kunkel and Samantha Frost - learn how to step up, it is great for our team," Gizzi said. "That probably was just as meaningful for McDonogh girls basketball as the win itself."
Frost finished the game with a team-high 12 points and seven rebounds, while Wynn scored 10 points and had three steals.
Roland Park coach Scott Buckley said his team did not shoot the ball well enough to win the game as the Reds were just 14-for-47 from the field. Senior forward Barbara Seaman had a game-high 13 points for the Reds and fellow senior Megan Pendleton had 11.
"I think we had that edge where we were just trying a little too hard," Buckley said. "I am a little disappointed because I thought we had enough to maybe make a run to the finals, but McDonogh played great today."


We are pleased to announce FORMATIONS 2013, a series of software based workshops for students and professionals taking place on October 19 at CCA in San Francisco. FORMATIONS, an annual workshop series at the California College of the Arts, provides a platform for students and professionals in the design disciplines to explore new technologies in a hands-on workshop setting. Each year the focus of the event evolves to reflect emerging architectural research topics in relationship to new media.
Eligibility: The workshops are open to all students and professionals in the design fields.
Hardware and Software: For the Parametric Drawing and Diagramming workshops, attendees must bring their own laptop to the workshop. For software requirements please see below. However, for the VRay workshop, students can use the lab computers.
Location: All workshops will be held on the CCA San Francisco Campus (1111 8th Street).
Description: Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent model-–based process that provides insight for creating and managing building and infrastructure projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact. The use of BIM applications offer a number of solutions for design, visualization, simulation, and collaboration that uses rich information for an intelligent model to inform better decision-making and better business processes. As part of the better business processes, this course will focus on the workflow between algorithmic graphical user interface scripting software Grasshopper and Autodesk Revit through Hummingbird to facilitate the creation of native Revit geometry. This process allows for downstream Revit model to be modified and adapted for project duration.
Description: Although the use of parametric 3D models has become common, the use of parametric tools to produce evocative and engaging 2D representations has been less developed among architects, designers, and artists. Standard parametric modeling programs like Revit, although highly capable of handling relational geometries, are rather limited in terms of allowing for representational experimentation. Programs such as Processing have enabled the non-programmer to more easily enter into the word of procedural design, yet they still require working in traditional, text-based programming environments. And graphic design tools such as Illustrator are enormously powerful in creating evocative visual representations, yet largely the workflows within these software packages are highly manual and allow for little parametric functionality.
The parametric modeling plugin Grasshopper offers a potential middle ground that provides parametric control, ability to manage complexity, and a highly intuitive graphic user interface. This workshop will investigate how a visual-programming environment such as Grasshopper can be used in conjunction with Illustrator to produce diagrams, drawings, and other illustrative media that are complex, adaptable, and quick. The workshop is geared towards graphic designers, artists, architects, and anyone interested in exploring innovative methods of digital drawing.
Description: 3d Studio Max with Vray is a leading software package used for architectural visualizations. Lectures and tutorials will focus on industry best practices, material sampling, natural and artificial simulations, and professional applications. Exercises will cover the use of renderings as design communication to clients and as tools for the architect in understanding his/her designs through an iterative visualization process. Over the seven hour session, participants will be led through a complete work flow, beginning with AutoCAD drawings and ending with compositing in Adobe Photoshop. In addition, topics such as view selection, framing, and composition will be covered.
Note: This workshop will take place in one of CCA's computer labs so no laptop is needed. However, you are welcome to bring your own if you want.

It is simply offering higher leverage, if a broker is offering 1:500 max leverage and also offering 100% bonus so you simply assume broker is offering 1:1000 leverage. Bonus element increase your capital size ( non withdrawable, can withdraw if lot size conditions are met ).
Lot size conditions are very tight normally as each $1 of bonus need to trade 1 RT lot in most of the cases so you simply assume you cannot withdraw.
Well, that´s exactly the point, they WANT you to lose all your money. Brokers that offer such bonuses ARE market makers, even if they claim they are not. And such brokers DO make their money if their clients lose and that´s exactly the reason they offer such bonuses. Go with a serious ECN broker without deposit bonuses, they are ALWAYS a red flag to me and a way to identify honest from un-honest brokers.
These bonuses aren't fake they just come with terms and conditions which make them much less attractive. It's really the job of the trader to find out the Terms and Conditions of any bonuses they receive when signing up to a brokerage, at the end of the day brokerages are selling a product and are going to make things sound particularly rose tinted.
Certain types of bonuses are banned in certain regulatory jurisdictions. For instance in Europe regulated firms can't offer bonuses which prevent traders from withdrawing their initial deposit.
Choosing a brokerage on the basis of what bonus they offer is probably a bad idea. Some of the best brokerages tend not to offer any deposit bonuses (they don't have too) and you should pick a brokerage you can have a long term relationship with, not one who is going to offer you a flashy freebie.
No broker (or business for that matter) is going to offer you anything for free, its a simple fact of life. The deposit bonuses are tools to lure you in, and are akin to to treating forex trading like a casino. If you choose to trade with a $5 deposit broker with a bonus you are most likely trading with a market maker as its the only way they can make money from you - your trading volume is definitely not going to justify any profits for them!
That´s exactly how it is, hence serious brokers are not offering you any bonuses because they don´t trade against you and just make their profits from commissions, hence can´t justify fancy bonuses. For me personally ANY broker that offers a bonus I stay away from exactly for the reason that you know they will trade against you to make this bonus back. An exception is Armada Markets who give some small bonuses here and there, for deposits they don´t exceed 15 Euro though as it´s limited to 10% on a max of 135 Euro. That´s a realistic amount they can really make back through commissions if you trade profitable. But all those 50%+ bonus on ANY deposit amount brokers you simply have to forget, they are ALL market makers and you WON`T win with them in the long run, rest assured.
Geektrader hit the nail on the head.
I'm interested to hear what introduction promotion you guys would like to see from a broker to help get you over the line with testing them out? My question only applies to a broker that doesn't profit from client losses.
I personally don't mind bonuses in some instances. Some brokers allow bonuses to be used as extra margin - obviously only those who trade against you. I could not see a reputable broker taking this risk. But it does help in some instances. You must except that you will never withdraw this however.
Jeremy - I think more realistic introduction promotions could be along the lines of the first 10-50 trades are free, or perhaps first 1 lot of trades are commission free. Making the trade free from commission/broker spread-mark-up (if applicable). This would allow systems to test out your feed without having to pay for the first few trades. Doesn't disadvantage the broker much and gives the trader time to test you out. You could also market this as allowing traders to practice with a live account for free, as from their own P/L.
If I think of anymore I will post them.
i agree with most here that state that most reputable brokers would not even offer bonus to start with.
however for whatever reason if a trader decide to use a broker with bonuses, then one way to think about it is per forexfish point (extra leverage) n use it the way ultra cat suggest (open the account with intended amount less the bonus so u are risking less than the original capital u had in mind).
folks, these are a few of the useful pieces of advice if one intend to stay long term in the fx mkt. n they can only come fr ppl who had been thru a lot in the mkt!
+1 to the 2 of u.
totally agree with David here. generally if u make it as little friction as possible for traders to open an acc ie little to no cost to send funds n 10 - 20 commission free trades, it should help many traders who are contemplating between broker a or broker g, to decide to go with broker g!
p/s: broker g = global prime.
I would like to see free wire transfers (maybe setting a bank account in an European bank?) and electronic withdraws using ewallets.
I don't think this is very plausible for exactly the reason you mentioned - wire transfers easily add up. My experience has been in the ballpark of say $15-$40 for each transfer. I would expect that a broker makes - in pure profit - perhaps only $2-$4 (if that) per lot traded. This means that you would have to trade 4-20 lots depending on their profits to make up for the transfer. Definitely not worth it for a smaller account where this could take several months.
Interesting - I have never seen such wire transfers. My canadian bank charges me much more for transfers. I will have to inquire.

Empty classrooms: Sri Lanka schools re-open amid fears of more militant attacks
Monday, 6 May 2019 06:33 GMT
A student's bag is searched by a parent as he arrives at his school which opened days after a string of suicide bomb attacks across the island on Easter Sunday, in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, May 6, 2019. REUTERS/Danish Siddiqui
Two weeks after suicide bombings killed 257 people, soldiers conducted a security sweep of schools after state institutions were asked to re-open on a staggered basis
By Shihar Aneez and Waruna Karunatilake
BATTICALOA/COLOMBO, May 6 (Reuters) - State schools in Sri Lanka resumed classes on Monday amid tight security after the Easter Sunday bombings, but many anxious parents kept their children at home over fears of more attacks by Islamic militants.
Two weeks after suicide bombings at hotels and churches killed 257 people, soldiers conducted a security sweep of schools on Sunday after state institutions were asked to re-open on a staggered basis.
Mid-to-upper stream classes resumed on Monday, to be followed by lower grades at a later date.
Despite the tight security and military patrols, most classrooms were near empty on Monday. Private schools, including Catholic institutions, remained closed.
"I have decided not to send my son to school until the country returns to normal," said Sujeeva Dissanayake, whose son goes to the state-run Asoka College in Colombo.
She and other parents were at the school to help provide security.
"Until we are certain about the security situation outside we will not send the child to school," Dissanayake said.
Authorities have blamed the Easter Sunday attacks, which also killed 42 foreign nationals, on two little-known local Islamist groups, the National Tawheed Jamaath (NTJ) and Jamathei Millathu Ibrahim (JMI).
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bombings.
At Royal College, an elite state school in Colombo, the parking area usually filled with school vans on a normal day was practically empty.
Only about 5 percent of its 6000 students were back in classes, a school official said.
At a Hindu school in Batticaloa on the east coast, site of one of the church bombings, parents helped to search schoolbags at the entrance gate. Once inside, pupils sat in desks away from road-side windows.
"Parents are not confident that safety has returned to normal," said T. Yasodharan, principal of Sivananda College where only 30 percent of its students showed up on Monday.
Security forces are on high alert after intelligence reports indicated militants could strike before the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which is due to begin later on Monday.
Muslim schools will be closed for the holidays.
In Negombo, where 102 people attending Easter Sunday service were killed in the deadliest bomb attack, authorities lifted an overnight curfew imposed after clashes between two groups of civilians.
A brief ban on social media platforms was also lifted, but authorities said they would stay alert for threats against the Muslim community in the wake of the April 21 attacks. Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Ranjith, who has criticised the government's handling of security around key establishments, has asked for Catholic schools in the Western Province, which includes Colombo and its suburbs, to be closed this week.

The subsequent three law corporations also hold their positions from 2013. JSA had a powerful 12 months and was more seen. However, it was less energetic on massive offers than its prime six friends. Luthra & Luthra performs poorly in comparison with the group on the client satisfaction ratings, but a strong market profile and consumer base have held the firm in fifth place. Clients advocate Trilegal as a agency that continues to move up available in the market, but poorer client satisfaction scores than in previous years have saved it from shifting up the rankings. It can also be the one agency in the prime six to not obtain significant mentions as a 'top tier law agency' dampening the agency's profile rating.

Riot Games hires Angela Roseboro as its first "Chief Diversity Officer"
Taha Zaidi - March 1, 2019@teezaidi
Photo credit: Riot Games
After a 2018 which saw Riot Games mired in controversy and accused of having a largely misogynistic culture, the gaming company and esports behemoth have hired their first "chief diversity officer." Angela Roseboro, formerly the global head of diversity at Dropbox, will take leadership of the organization's cultural direction and "D&I" initiative, a buzzword the company has coined to refer to "diversity and inclusion." Roseboro will be charged with "the creation of new programs to foster a more inclusive culture at Riot." She has also been tasked with ensuring the company is fully committed to inclusion in all of its hiring and recruitment practices.
I can't wait to get started and to do my part to make sure we have a culture that embraces the uniqueness of every Rioter and a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. – Angela Roseboro
"Inside the culture of sexism at Riot Games"
Back in August 2018, Riot Games was the subject of a massive Kotaku exposé, titled "Inside the culture of sexism at Riot Games." The report reverberated throughout the industry and Riot immediately began exploring all angles of damage control. The company vowed to be better and initiated a culture change with a blog post titled "Our First Steps Forward." But despite its seemingly noble efforts, the organization continued to face setbacks.
Buried in the fine print of Riot's PAX West schedule would be the League of Legends developer's latest headache. An all-girls panel at the event. What Riot surely must have seen as an easy way to score back some brownie points was instead received by the community as teetering too hard in the other direction. A few leaked Slack messages (that had to be censored?) and volatile employees (that had to be fired) later, the company found itself having gained no ground since the Kotaku report. Riot Games was not having a good 2018.
"Diversity, Inclusion, & Riot Culture"
It seems the company is making its best efforts to begin 2019 on a brighter note. As the year turned over, so did Riot's efforts to force a change. In December, they brought on Emily Winkle (formerly an HR lead at Activision Blizzard) to be the organization's first Chief People Officer. Winkle has since been in charge of areas like recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and employee relations.

Riot also launched an information hub to lay out the culture-change initiative and provide further updates. One such update was posted on February 26. A blog post titled "Update on Diversity, Inclusion & Riot Culture" went into detail about the company's recent history and new policies. Roseboro's hiring is the latest move in Riot's concentrated effort towards fixing their image and pressing forward toward a more progressive and equal workplace.
Over the past several months, Riot has made a series of moves to convey a loud message. It is a plea of forgiveness and a statement that the company has learned from its mistakes. While the good faith that was damaged by Riot in 2018 will take a long time to repair, Winkle and Roseboro will go a long way towards instilling confidence in a system that Riot Games seems to be, and needs to be, all-in on.
I've had the opportunity to meet some incredible Rioters who are passionate about creating a culture where everyone thrives together. I was so taken by the heart and soul of this company and—in spite of setbacks or hurdles—I'm excited to be part of this journey. I can't wait to get started and to do my part to make sure we have a culture that embraces the uniqueness of every Rioter and a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. – Angela Roseboro

Hurricane Willa is growing into a potentially catastrophic Category 5 storm as it sweeps toward Mexico's Pacific coast with winds of 260 km/h.
The hurricane was expected to pass over or near the Islas Marias — a set of islands about 95 km that include a nature preserve and a federal prison — early on Tuesday, then blow ashore in the afternoon or the evening somewhere along a 20 km section extending from the resort town of Mazatlan to San Blas.
A stretch of high-rise resort hotels, surfing beaches and fishing villages are on lock down as the storm barrels towards them.
Mazatlan, with a metropolitan-area population of about 500,000, is a popular holiday spot. It is closer to the US than most other Pacific resorts and home to a large number of American and Canadian expatriates.
The hurricane's projected track also included Esquinapa, a town a few miles inland with almost 60,000 people in and around it.
As of midday Monday, Willa was centered about 215 km south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes and was moving at 11 km/h.
Hurricane-force winds extended 45 kmfrom the storm's center, and tropical storm-force winds were up to 1650 km out.
The US National Hurricane Center warned that Willa could bring 15 to 45 cm in some places — to parts of Jalisco, Nayarit and Sinaloa states, with flash flooding and landslides possible in mountainous areas.

Actress Joanne Woodward's Memories of Paul Newman Stolen by Alzheimer's Disease
One of Hollywood's leading ladies is suffering from the devastating disease, as the family appears to be enmeshed in the early stages of what may become a bitter estate battle.
Known for their devotion to each other over decades, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman were an iconic Hollywood couple. However, a recent report from Blasting News says that "Hollywood star Joanne Woodward can't remember husband Paul Newman anymore."
Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman met in 1958, according to Life & Times of Hollywood, when they co-starred in the classic film "The Long, Hot Summer." They were inseparable from 1958 until 2008, when Newman passed away at the age of 83 from cancer.
Today, it's reported that Woodward has lost nearly all memories of Paul from her fight with Alzheimer's Disease.
Newman left his billions to his wife and charities, but gave just $5 million to each of his children.
The 85-year-old Woodward has now lost all memories of her years with her husband because of the disease. A source close to the family was quoted as saying her "health is rapidly deteriorating, and only once in a while states that she used to be married to someone handsome."
Shortly after Newman passed in 2008, Woodward started to first exhibit signs of Alzheimer's. The couple's daughters began noticing that their mother was frequently disoriented. The disease grew worse, and she now requires 24-7 care. She rarely speaks and seldom recognizes her children or grandchildren.
Woodward's illness has precipitated a family battle over Newman's billion-dollar estate. Just before his death, he gave each of his five daughters, three with Woodward and two from his first marriage, $5 million each for their inheritance. Newman believed that his children were all successful and didn't need the family money. The majority of his estate was left to Joanne and various charities.
The five Newman children are not happy with their father's belief that they didn't need more of an inheritance, and there is concern that Joanne's will may give the rest of the billion-dollar estate to charity and none to the children. It is possible that they could contest the will after she dies.

Professional skills and knowledge related to clinical competence in areas such as high dependency, critical care and emergency nursing.
This paper is based on the application of a series of objectives. These encompass attitudes, personal and interpersonal skills, cultural safety, the application of knowledge, problem-solving skills and technical competence. The student will apply theoretical learning within their practice context. Students will also use practice experience to develop new or refine existing nursing knowledge in the high-acuity clinical setting. The concept of high-acuity nursing is recognised as applying across a range of settings and is considered in relation to each student's area of practice, as well as acknowledgment of general principles and universal application.
Study requires the student to demonstrate integrated knowledge at an advanced level in line with the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) nurse practitioner (NP) domains of competency. The intention is for the student to develop and apply new knowledge and understanding and to relate this to their individual area of practice. The notion of clinical practice as scholarship is an underpinning of the paper.
This paper is designed to allow the individual to explore the high-acuity aspects of their own area of practice. Students come from a range of backgrounds, which necessitates the provision of generic information that students are expected to then adapt for use in their specific situations. The course materials presented on the study block days cover the theoretical components of the paper, including discussion around socio-political and cultural matters, defining scope of practice, and drawing on clinical experts to present elements related to specific disease processes and pathophysiology.
Three 2-day study blocks and additional online and self-directed study.

Palarivattom flyover: Judicial custody of accused extended
A court here on Thursday extended the judicial custody of the four arrested officials, accused of graft in the construction of the Palarivattom flyover, till October 3.
The four arrested officials include -- the project director Sumit Goyal of RDS Projects, former Public Works Department Secretary T.O. Sooraj, Benny Paul who represented the KITCO and M.T. Thankachen from the Roads and Bridges Development Corporation. The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau had arrested them on charges of corruption.
While being taken to the court Sooraj told the media that he has done no wrong and he did what was asked by the then former Public Works Department Minister and senior Legislator V.K. Ebrahim Kunju and also the Corporation's Managing Director Mohammed Hanish.
Earlier this week, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan asked 'Metroman' E. Sreedharan to take charge of rebuilding the Palarivattom flyover.
Built at a cost of Rs 42 crore during the Oommen Chandy regime, the 750-metre flyover was supposed to serve for over 100 years. It was opened in October 2016 and within three years the flyover started crumbling and was shut for traffic.
The flyover was built by the Delhi-based RDS Projects for the state-owned Roads and Bridges Development Corporation. KITCO was the supervision consultant for the project.
On Wednesday, the Kerala High Court, while hearing the bail plea of all the accused asked the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) to file a report on the Palarivattom flyover and ordered to prepare a list of names who had a role in the construction. IANS

Pasquale Forte made his mark producing seriously impressive wines at Podere Forte, his Val d'Orcia winery. Then he turned his attention to restoring the nearby hilltop town Rocca d'Orcia, opening an art gallery, a home-goods store, an enoteca and an osteria headed by chef Enrico Bartolini. Bartolini builds his menu around impeccably sourced local ingredients, like a gorgeous sirloin steak grilled over a beech-and-oak-wood fire and served with "sandy" potatoes cleverly tossed with herbed bread crumbs. The enoteca sells some of Forte's favorite wines, along with specialties like cured meats from Tuscany's famous Cinta Senese pigs. Next on Forte's Rocca d'Orcia to-do list: launching artisan ceramics and furniture stores, as well as a luxurious hotel with rooms scattered throughout the village. trecerchi.com.
