Mosgiel /ˈmɒzɡiːl/ (Māori: Te Konika o te Matamata) is an urban satellite of Dunedin in Otago, New Zealand,[3] fifteen kilometres west of the city's centre. Since the re-organisation of New Zealand local government in 1989 it has been inside the Dunedin City Council area.[4] Mosgiel has a population of approximately 14,700 as of June 2021.[2] The town celebrates its location, calling itself "The pearl of the plain". Its low-lying nature does pose problems, making it prone to flooding after heavy rains. Mosgiel takes its name from Mossgiel Farm, Ayrshire, the farm of the poet Robert Burns, the uncle of the co-founder in 1848 of the Otago settlement, the Reverend Thomas Burns. [note 1]
Mosgiel stands at the north-eastern extremity of the Taieri Plains. The Silver Stream, a tributary of the Taieri River, runs through its north end. Between Mosgiel and the centre of Dunedin stand the rugged Three Mile Hill and Scroggs Hill, which form part of the crater-wall of a long-extinct volcano, the crater being the Otago Harbour. To the south of the town lies one of the many peaks that formed part of the volcano: Saddle Hill, a prominent landmark, visible from a considerable distance and notable for its distinctive shape, lies east of State Highway One where Kinmont Park, a new housing subdivision is located at the foot of the hill.
The Dunedin Southern Motorway, upgraded in 2003, links Mosgiel with the centre of Dunedin. State Highway 87 to Kyeburn starts at a junction with State Highway 1 at the southeastern edge of Mosgiel, the first part of the highway being the main street of Mosgiel, Gordon Road.
1 Legend and early history

4 Points of interest
Legend and early history[edit]
Panorama from the summit of Flagstaff Hill, Dunedin, with Mosgiel on the far left.
The site of Mosgiel figures in Māori legend, but surrounding features of the Taieri Plain and adjacent hills have older mythical associations. Of the canoes of South Island migratory legend the fourth and fifth, Takitimu and Arai Te Uru, are mentioned in connection with the area. Maungatua, the large hill to the west of the plain, represents a huge wave which struck the Takitimu, throwing overboard Aonui, who became a pillar on the Tokomairaro Beach. Another account makes Aonui a female survivor of the wreck of the Arai Te Uru, built by Kahui Tipua, who had arrived earlier but sent this vessel to the Polynesian homeland Hawaiki to get kumara. On its return the canoe suffered shipwreck at Shag Point in North Otago, but its survivors quested about the land in search of supplies. If they failed to get back before dawn they turned into natural landscape-features, and this fate befell Aonui. These ancient traditions suggest that some of the earliest Polynesian settlers in the south knew the Taieri Plain.
W.R. Kirk repeated the later story of a taniwha (water-monster), the "familiar spirit or guardian of Te Rakitaounere (also given as Te Rakitauneke) a famous chief and warrior" who lost his master about the Dunedin hills, slithered down the Silverstream, 'Whaka-ehu', and 'lay down and left a hollow Te Konika o te Matamata' on the site of Mosgiel. The taniwha (named Matamata) wriggled down the Taieri, making its tortuous course, and when he died became the seaboard hills, including Saddle Hill. This story has associations with Kati Mamoe, ('Ngati Mamoe' in modern standard Māori) of the late 17th or early 18th century. According to tradition this period also saw the occupation of the kaik (unfortified settlement) near modern Henley – called Tai-ari like the river – and on the hill above it a pa, or fortified settlement, called Omoua. Tukiauau built a pa called Whakaraupuka on the west side of Lake Waihola and his rival, Tuwiriroa, came down from Lake Wakatipu and built one at Taieri Mouth on the coast. Māori soon abandoned Whakaraupuka, but the Taiari settlement at Henley endured into modern times. (Anderson, 1998.)
In February 1770 Captain James Cook described the saddle-shaped hill which became known as Saddle Hill, the landmark east of Mosgiel. The Weller brothers of the Otago whaling station on Otago Harbour (modern Otakou) sent a Mr. Dalziel to inspect the Taieri Plain for a proposed Scottish settlement in 1839, but he gave an unfavourable report. In 1844 Edward Shortland noticed Māori running pigs on the landward slopes of Saddle Hill orMakamaka (as he recorded the hill's Māori name). Charles Kettle surveyed the plain and coastal hills for the Otago Association in 1846 and 1847. He also climbed the westward hills and saw the raised land beyond, the nearest approach of the Central Otago plateau to the sea, which he correctly identified as potentially fine pastoral country.
Following the arrival of the Association's settlers at Dunedin in 1848, a Scots shepherd, Jaffray, brought his wife and dogs along the Māori track from Kaikorai Valley and settled on Saddle Hill in a whare (a Māori-style house) in 1849, establishing the first European farmstead in the district. In the same year the Reverend Thomas Burns, spiritual leader of the Association's settlement, selected the land which would become Mosgiel.
In the mid-1850s Arthur John Burns, a son of Thomas Burns, settled on some of the land. A large stand of native bush stood nearby. The richness of the land and the proximity of the main south road, more or less following the route of an old Māori track, led to early close rural settlement.
The 1861 Otago gold rush saw the development of a road – leading west to the interior – which intersected the site. Arthur John Burns's establishment of the Mosgiel Woollen Company and mill in 1871 brought the settlement of workers in cottages. 1875 saw the north-south road paralleled by a railway, with a branch to the west constructed in 1877. The authorities declared the Mosgiel Town District in 1882 and constituted a Borough Council in 1885. The town grew and became the most substantial in the district. The surrounding plain became a sort of Home County to Dunedin, a place of prosperous farms and of the large houses of successful businessmen with rural tastes. Horse-breeding and racing flourished.
Mosgiel in the twentieth century[edit]
Gordon Road, Mosgiel, with Saddle Hill in the background.
From 1900 to 1997, Mosgiel was the site of Holy Cross College, the national Roman Catholic seminary for the training of priests. The seminary was located in extensive grounds which included a farm. The seminary was moved to Auckland in 1997 but many of its buildings remain and are used for Catholic and other purposes.
The significance of the area for transport grew in the 20th century when the proximity of the plain's flat land to Dunedin saw the establishment of the Taieri Aerodrome, just north of Mosgiel, in the late 1920s and the development of Momona Airport, now Dunedin International Airport, further south on the plain in 1962.
After the Second World War some expected Mosgiel might industrialise extensively, like the Hutt Valley, but expansion remained limited. The bankruptcy of the woollen mill in 1980 and its eventual closure has not been offset by other industrial developments.
The late 20th century's increasingly ageing New Zealand population saw the expansion of housing for the elderly, with several retirement villages and communities located in the vicinity. In recent decades the hills above the plain have seen some division into lifestyle blocks. The 2003 completion of the Fairfield bypass shortened commuting-time via the southern motorway (part of State Highway 1) to the city centre.
Mosgiel's economy until recent[update] years focused on the manufacture of wool-products and many elderly New Zealanders still[update] associate the word "Mosgiel" with the former Mosgiel Woollen Mills. Today[update], Mosgiel's income comes from many sources, including local shops, cafés and bars. It remains an important service-centre for the surrounding farming community. It also hosts one of New Zealand's largest agricultural research institutes, Invermay. Until recently the largest employer was Fisher & Paykel which manufactured DishDrawer dishwasher and ranges at their Mosgiel factory. The closure of this plant was announced in early 2008.
Mosgiel is described by Statistics New Zealand as a medium urban area, and covers 16.97 km2 (6.55 sq mi)[1] and had an estimated population of 14,700 as of June 2021,[2] with a population density of 866 people per km2.

Mosgiel had a population of 13,635 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 1,377 people (11.2%) since the 2013 census, and an increase of 1,986 people (17.0%) since the 2006 census. There were 5,805 households. There were 6,348 males and 7,290 females, giving a sex ratio of 0.87 males per female, with 2,229 people (16.3%) aged under 15 years, 1,836 (13.5%) aged 15 to 29, 5,568 (40.8%) aged 30 to 64, and 3,999 (29.3%) aged 65 or older.
Ethnicities were 93.9% European/Pākehā, 6.8% Māori, 1.4% Pacific peoples, 2.6% Asian, and 2.0% other ethnicities (totals add to more than 100% since people could identify with multiple ethnicities).
The proportion of people born overseas was 11.7%, compared with 27.1% nationally.
Although some people objected to giving their religion, 50.1% had no religion, 40.7% were Christian, 0.4% were Hindu, 0.6% were Muslim, 0.2% were Buddhist and 1.2% had other religions.
Of those at least 15 years old, 1,566 (13.7%) people had a bachelor or higher degree, and 3,123 (27.4%) people had no formal qualifications. 1,545 people (13.5%) earned over $70,000 compared to 17.2% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 4,764 (41.8%) people were employed full-time, 1,617 (14.2%) were part-time, and 252 (2.2%) were unemployed.[5]

The Mosgiel Woollen Mill built in 1871 in Factory Road, was the second woollen mill to open in New Zealand. The mill was integral to the town and a significant employer from when it opened until the end of the 20th century when it closed.[13]
In 1936, while still a schoolboy, the artist Colin McCahon took part in a family outing, driving from the seaboard over the coastal hills. Looking across the Taieri Plain towards Central Otago he had what he described as a "vision", seeing a pre-Biblical "landscape of splendour order and peace" – which, he said, it became his life's work to communicate. The same view, though seen from a greater distance, had inspired Charles Kettle in the 1840s.
In 1953 the young Ralph Hotere, later to become one of New Zealand's best-regarded artists, qualified as a pilot on Tiger Moths at the Taieri Aerodrome Training School, Mosgiel.
Mosgiel and "Mollywood" sign
Mosgiel's sign forms an unusual feature. Modelled on the famous Hollywood Sign, the seven letters of the Mosgiel sign perch on a hillside close to State Highway 1. Because of this sign locals sometimes (though not very often) jokingly refer to Mosgiel as "Mollywood".
The distinctive outline of Saddle Hill forms the eastern border of the greater Mosgiel area.
In recent[update] years Mosgiel has experienced increased urbanisation and a growth in population. The revival has come about in part due to people moving from Dunedin's inner suburbs. Mosgiel has recently[update] seen the opening or refurbishment of cafés and bars aimed at a younger market, and workers have built stages one and two of a planned larger playground.[14]
In 2010 Mosgiel became home to the first Warehouse Local store, and a McDonald's restaurant was planned to go next to New World, however due to strict restrictions that would be imposed on the restaurant the idea has been scrapped.
Taieri College is the only state secondary school in Mosgiel. It caters for years 7 to 13[15] and has a roll of 1163. The school was formed in 2004 as a merge between Mosgiel High School and Mosgiel Intermediate.[16] Mosgiel High was called Mosgiel District High School until 1956,[17] and has origins from 1864.[18]
East Taieri School, Elmgrove School and Silverstream School are state contributing primary schools catering for years 1 to 6.[19][20][21] They have rolls of 344, 313 and 305 students, respectively. East Taieri School was founded as a preaching station in 1853 and moved to its current location in 1863.[22]
St Mary's School is a state-integrated Catholic full primary school for years 1 to 8[23] and has a roll of 138. The school started in 1882 and was run by the Sisters of Mercy from 1889.[24]
Amana Christian School is a private composite school for years 1 to 13[25] and has a roll of 14. It opened in 2001.[26]
All these schools are coeducational. Rolls are as of November 2021.[27]

^ A popular, though probably apocryphal, local theory is that the extra "s" was dropped at a time when the cost of telegrams was calculated by the number of characters. The name of the Dunedin suburb of Roslyn (named for Rosslyn in Scotland) is similarly truncated. These two places were sites of major woollen mills – as was the town of Milton 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the south, where name may originally have been Milltown. Whether there is any connection between the location of the mills and name truncation, or whether it is a mere coincidence, is unknown.

Tammy Kitzmiller, y otros contra el Distrito Escolar de Dover, y otros., Caso No. 04cv2688, fue el primer desafío directo que se realizó en una corte federal de Estados Unidos contra un distrito de escuela pública que exigía la explicación del «diseño inteligente» como una alternativa a la evolución en cuanto a la «explicación sobre el origen de la vida». La parte acusadora tuvo éxito en su planteamiento de que el diseño inteligente es una forma de creacionismo, y que por lo tanto la política del directorio de la escuela violaba la Establishment Clause de la Primera Enmienda a la Constitución de los Estados Unidos.

El juez John E. Jones III dictaminó que "el DI (diseño inteligente) es nada menos que la progenie del creacionismo [...] una visión religiosa, un mero re-etiquetado del creacionismo y no una teoría científica" y concluyó declarando como "inconstitucional enseñar DI como una alternativa a la evolución en un aula de ciencias de una escuela pública." La decisión del juez despertó numerosos comentarios y respuestas tanto de aquellos a favor como en contra.

Antecedente

El diseño inteligente sostiene la idea que el universo no es tan simple como para ser sólo la obra de la naturaleza. Aquellas personas que creen en el diseño inteligente piensan que una fuerza inteligente debe haber creado las cosas, o por lo menos partes importantes de ellas.

Juicio
La evolución es la explicación que ofrece la ciencia sobre cómo se desarrollaron los diversos tipos de formas de vida a partir de un comienzo simple. Una escuela en Dover, en el estado de Pensilvania (Estados Unidos), intentó que sus maestros explicaran que el diseño inteligente era mejor que la evolución. Tammy Kitzmiller junto con otros diez padres de alumnos se opusieron a que sus hijos recibieran esta explicación. Presentaron su queja ante el gobierno, y se celebró el juicio, donde se falló a su favor.

Kristeen Young (Brett Callwood)
Kristeen Young Turns the Moroccan Lounge Into Her Beauty Shop
Brett Callwood December 5, 2022
Kristeen Young Turns the Moroccan Lounge Into Her Beauty Shop: The Moroccan Lounge, over on 1st Street, L.A., is a great place to watch a show. It might not be in the most happening neighborhood that the city has to offer — it's quiet all around and we parked next to a mortuary — but when you're there, that almost-secret feeling is to the bar's immense benefit. That the bar and stage are in separate rooms is very cool too; the concert room is decorated very plainly because it's all about the music.
The opening band on Saturday was locals Crisis Actor, and they were worth turning up early for. Post-punk in the best way, these guys bring the likes of Wire, Gang of Four and even Public Image to mind. Loud and suitably angry, with weird and whacky curveballs where you least expect them, we'll be checking them out again.
North Carolina dark punks Secret Shame were the closers, and there was much to be impressed with there too. A female singer with clown makeup was interesting from the top. Songs that recall Brit punks the Slits, X-Ray Spex and Siouxsie too kept the intrigue alive throughout the set. Moody and broody, but very groove-heavy.
But for us, the night was all about middle act Kristeen Young. We've been following Young since first seeing her in London in 2005 on a bill with Tegan & Sara and Ari Up of the Slits. In the nearly 18 years since then, Young has gone from strength to strength as an artist. Not nearly enough people know about her still, but her work is consistently dazzling.
At the Moroccan, Young performed without a band — just her and her keyboard, sometimes dancing alone. The set drew fairly heavily from the most recent album The Beauty Shop, an experimental affair. Partially as a result the set was a true performance. Real art.
"Life Kills," from that new album, is a beautifully caustic, flamboyantly intense way to open the show, but the likes of "Sue Veneer" and "Sara Get the Baby" are equally compelling.
Young is a hypnotic performer and musician. Her voice alternates between pained cries and sweet coos, all the while her eyes wide and fluttering. You simply can't take your eyes off of her.
An encore is demanded of her, of course, and she provides "Boomerang". And even that isn't enough. Thankfully she says that she'll be back in L.A. soon. Much like that boomerang!

Where is water, there is also a possibility for a leak. And although nobody likes to point the finger, there are some home appliances responsible for leaks. Take your washing machine, freezer, dishwasher, and refrigerator for example. They all have some relation to water. They are either connected to the water supply or refrigerate it to keep food cold.
It's good to have choices when you shop for a new home appliance, but it's often difficult to make a decision without having a basic 101 knowledge. Here's where we step in in an effort to make your choice a lot easier. Gas vs electric! That's a big question! Sometimes, it's easy to answer it simply because some appliances are only electric powered. Take dishwashers or fridges & freezers for example! Even washers are mainly made electric today. But what about ovens & stoves & dryers! They come in both types and both have their pros and cons. As long as you can use either type in your home, you should focus on your budget and expectations in order to make a sound decision.
When you get a new oven or stove, all you can think about is new recipes. Who would think about home appliance services? But then again, any new appliance must be installed unless it's a countertop microwave, which only needs to be plugged in. And although repairs are not a concern, there will come a day when you will need the assistance of an appliance technician.
If you are looking for ways to repair washing machine problems, remember that not all problems are fixable. Sometimes, it will be hard even to detect what's wrong with the appliance. And you should always keep in mind that not all models have the same specs and thus the same solutions. All washers might leak but the way you fix each appliance might differ. So, this might be a guide of how to detect problems and fix your washer, but it's often best to find a local washing machine technician to tackle issues.
Everyone would agree that a top load dryer is one of people's best friends. This special laundry appliance saves us time. We don't need to find space in the yard to hang clothes or bring them inside to dry increasing indoor humidity and thus the chance of mold growth. Dryers do the job but only when they work right. And they work right only when they are installed correctly and fixed when they malfunction. In any different case, you don't only risk compromising your convenience but your safety too.

BlipTrack Assists Aarhus Municipality In Cutting 20 Percent Of Travel Times
8. October 2013 24. October 2017
Aarhus municipality uses anonymous data from drivers' cell phones and GPS to assist them in preventing traffic jams. A drastic 20 percent cut in travel times has already been made.
Many mobile phones, GPSs and other electronic devices have built-in Bluetooth, so that they can communicate wirelessly. Aarhus municipality utilizes BLIP Systems' technology as an important weapon in the fight against traffic jams.
By placing the small sensors in the road network, the road authorities can obtain traffic flow data in real time and proactively manage the road network to minimize delays and congestion.
The municipality started the project in 2011 and currently has nearly 40 sensors placed on the ring road, says project manager Michael Bloksgaard, at Traffic and Roads. He expects that when the BlipTrack solution is fully implemented by the end of the year, around 120 sensors will have been placed. He has no doubt that BlipTrack will be a great tool for the municipality when it comes to preventing congested roads.
"BlipTrack will be used to locate the areas where we need to optimize routes and identify which roads, motorists can benefit from driving instead," says Michael Bloksgaard.
He says that they are currently working on making the measurements available for all road users, and that the data could be utilized in apps and online.
The municipality has already benefited from using the solution, and it has helped Traffic and Roads in optimizing out-of-sync intersections. In addition, the Road Administration has been able to record that travel times on the ring road has been reduced by up to 20 percent because of green waves. This leads not only to significant economic benefits for the municipality, through reduced travel times and fuel consumption, but also reduced CO2 emissions and improved air quality.

Horace Clarence Boyer grew up in Winter Park, FL in a deeply religious home. Both his parents were ministers in the Church of God in Christ, and Boyers sang in the choir from third grade. At ages 12 and 13, Boyers and his brother, James, went to live with an aunt who taught them not just church music, but "sanctified music," which Boyers explains as "jubilant shout songs" - gospels and ballads.
Upon their return home, James and Horace began performing the new music they'd learned at local churches and, at ages 15 and 16, started recording gospel records as "the Boyer Brothers." With money earned from their performances, the brothers put themselves through Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach. The Boyer Brothers have since traveled throughout 40 states, appearing in concerts, festivals, and on television in solo performances, as well as with such famous gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson and Clara Ward.
Much to his parents' chagrin - they didn't want him to be "learning music that was not for the Lord," - Boyers went on to earn M.A. and Ph.D degrees in music from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. He taught music theory and African-American studies at Albany State College in Georgia, the University of Central Florida, and from 1973 to 1999, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Boyers has published over 40 articles, contributed to many anthologies on music, written liner notes for gospel legends, and authored the popular book How Sweet the Sound: the Golden Age of Gospel. He served as Curator of Musical Instruments at the Smithsonian Institution and also as United Negro College Fund Distinguished Scholar-at-Large at Fisk University, where he directed the famed Fisk Jubilee Singers in 35 concerts.
Boyers has directed countless singers in choirs, ensembles, and workshops. With every group, he attempts to reach a mix of cultures and races. He spends an equal amount of time explaining the culture behind the song as he does the mechanics of the singing, "because if people don't know why and how they're doing something, it's never going to sound right."
His method of teaching also safeguards the roots of gospel. When Boyers was a young man, gospel music was just an extension of the church service: "When I came into gospel, I was really seeing it as a testimony to my beliefs, a way of testing the spirits. I was trying to be as close to God as possible." Gospel's popularity has taken it further away from its roots in the Church, and preserving this legacy has become central to Boyer's mission as a teacher, director, and scholar.
Upon his retirement in 1999, the University of Massachusetts established the Horace Clarence Boyer Gospel Music Fund in honor and recognition of his outstanding service.

Q: Orthogonality in $N$-dimensional spherical coordinates I have a question about orthogonality expressed in spherical coordinates in an $N$-dimensional space.
Given a unitary vector whose coordinates are : $$ \vec{V}  : (\phi_1, \phi_2, \cdots, \phi_{N-1})$$
What condition does a vector (let's say unitary to simplify) need to satisfy to be orthogonal to $\vec{V}$? In other words, what's the expression (in spherical coordinates) of the hyperplane orthogonal to $\vec{V}$ and containing the origin? Thanks in advance.

A: Let's say the vector we are looking for is $x$. Suppose we write $x$ and your vector $v$ in cartesian coordinates, then for orthogonality  we have
$$
0 = \sum_{i=1}^N v_i x_i
$$
where $x_i$ and $v_i$ are the cartesian components.
The standard definition of $N$-dimensonal spherical coordinates can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere
Let's denote the angles of $v$ by $\phi$ (as you already did) and the angles of $x$ by $\alpha$.
Use those definitions to replace the cartesian coordinates of $x$ and $v$ to get
$$
0 = \sum_{i=1}^N v_i x_i = \cos(\phi_1)\cos(\alpha_1) +  \sin(\phi_1)\cos(\phi_2)\sin(\alpha_1)\cos(\alpha_2) + \cdots + \prod_{i=1}^{N-1}\sin(\phi_i)\sin(\alpha_i)
$$
This is not a very nice formula. So in general, what one would do is to first rotate the coordinate system in such a way that the vector $v$ is along one axis, i.e. let all $\phi_i = 0$. Then the formula simplifies to
$
0 = \cos(\phi_1)\cos(\alpha_1) = \cos(\alpha_1)$
which just says $\alpha_1 = \pi/2$ and all other $\alpha_i$ can be freely chosen.

Dark Messiah Revisited

Postby Angelspit » Apr 12 2012, 14:56
I have been meaning to replay Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for quite a while. I still have the game installed in Steam, as a trophy of the work I did as a tester and, let's face it, as a promoter of some sort (reading my beta preview again reminds me of the huge expectations we had for that game) back in 2006. Nearly six years later, I decided to pick up the Xbox 360 version of the game, curious to revisit the world of Ashan from a first-person perspective, and perhaps to unlocks a series of achievements. I was planning to take that opportunity to write a review, but then I came across a fellow Xbox gamer review on a community site. I'm reprinting it here with permission from the author, XxSpazemxX:
Adding a subtitle hasn't improved Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. This tardy Xbox 360 port of the first-person action RPG that premiered on the PC in late 2006 remains solidly third-rate even with the word "Elements" strangely appended to the original name. Arkane Studios and Ubisoft may have taken well beyond a year to presumably spit-shine everything for the game's console debut, but the mind-numbingly repetitive combat, bland story, and awkward level design haven't been changed much at all. Only revamped multiplayer modes of play offer anything new, and they're pretty weak and offset by control and visual issues that make this 360 version of the game much worse than its PC predecessor.
At its heart, Elements is a straight rehashing of the PC edition of the game. The solo campaign again tells the tale of Sareth, who is wandering the lands of Ashan trying to find the long-lost Skull of Shadows for his mage master, a rather sinister piece of work named Phenrig. And also once again, this story is so poorly told that you can't summon up the will to care about any of the characters or particulars. Everything is hacked together, from the ludicrous goo-goo eyes made between Sareth and his sidekick Leanna to the capital-E evil of bad guys such as Arantir. The only interesting conceit is your attachment to a demonic entity called Xana, and she's such a dumb caricature of a jealous woman that her catty comments will offend even the most hardcore chauvinist. Furthermore, all of the dialogue is delivered in hammy drive-in movie tones (why exactly are medieval knights calling you "pal"?), and the bare bones of the plot are so poorly presented that it's hard to figure out what you're supposed to be doing. You get the feeling that Arkane Studios was going for a grim swords-and-sorcery saga à la Conan but could never settle on taking the whole thing seriously or playing it up for laughs.
At any rate, you likely won't be doing any chuckling while toiling through the campaign's nine chapters. Although they're mercifully brief and let you save Ashan from dark, stinky demons in about 10 hours, they're also so tedious that it seems as if you've been stuck on the couch for more like a solid week. The biggest problem is, again, Elements' schizophrenic identity. This isn't really an RPG or an action game. Role-playing fundamentals have been tossed in seemingly just to lure elf aficionados, considering that they don't add anything to gameplay. So even though you choose from the usual warrior, archer, mage, and assassin character classes at the start of your adventure, and then proceed to level up and collect the usual ever-cooler swords, armor, scrolls, and potions, there isn't any depth. A single class skill is dished out automatically every time you gain a level, and most of these are autopilot buffs to core stats such as strength and stamina. This is actually a step down from the skill system in the PC version of the game, which at least let you spend skill points in strength, magic, and stealth categories, and somewhat personalize Sareth.
Combat is equally undercooked, so you can't simply forget about the RPG omissions in favor of just hack-and-slashing it up. How you fight varies somewhat depending on class, but repetition is a huge annoyance regardless of whether you're slinging fireballs or twirling a sword. All you ever seem to do is pull the right trigger to attack until bad guys explode in spouts of blood. Warriors and assassins have access to a trio of combos with the downward blow, charge, and whirlwind melee-attack skills, although you really don't need to ever bother using them. The number of enemies never reaches true action RPG proportions, either, which means that you steadily slog your way through tiny groups of mostly unthreatening goons. Even the odd boss monster is pretty easy to handle, due to the presence of some gimmick or other that enables you to take down the big foozle in no more than a couple of minutes. Lack of enemy variety is another problem, in that the game throws the same foes at you over and over again. The first few levels are so stuffed with dark-armored blackguards that you feel like you've interrupted some kind of convention, and even when new blood arrives, you get nothing but fantasy-ghetto archetypes such as goblins, orcs, zombies, and spiders.
Virtually all of the changes made to Elements for its new life on the 360 only compound the game's existing flaws. Controls are extremely awkward. You lumber around like a dump truck, turning and backing up so slowly that these maneuvers should be accompanied by beeps. Distances are skewed so badly that it seems as if your sword is a good 10 feet long, given that you can pretty much hit enemies from across rooms. Jumping is even more of an annoyance because this distance distortion makes it impossible to tell exactly where you are. Good luck getting through the third chapter's chase sequence--where you leap across rooftops--without getting incredibly frustrated.
Technical issues are another story. The original PC version of the game was no looker, but this may be the ugliest game powered by Half-Life 2's physics-heavy Source-engine ever produced. Textures are flat, and every setting is so dark and murky that it's hard to pick out any details. You can adjust only the brightness and contrast, too, not the gamma, so you're really given a choice between scenes so muddy brown that you can't see the hand in front of your face or scenes so washed-out that you might as well be looking at your TV through cataracts. Loading times are another pain. The only saving grace here is that you don't get killed often enough in most levels for these 30-second loads to be a serious irritant. Finally, the game is a bit buggy. During my time with the game, the primary control buttons froze up at least three times, a situation in which you could freely move Sareth but couldn't access any functions or even retreat to the main menu to save the game. You have to drop out to the dashboard and restart the game to bring these functions back.
Multiplayer modes are being billed as the biggest additions to the 360 version of Elements, but they're just as disappointing as the rest of the game. Virtually nobody is playing the game online, as can be witnessed by the pitiful leader-board scores. Of the multiplayer modes of play, only crusade has any promise, considering that the other deathmatch and blitz options are just as dull and dated as you might imagine. At any rate, nobody seems to be playing crusade anyhow, even though it has some appealing ideas; you can battle over multiple maps and reduce respawn tickets by holding control points similar to the Battlefield series on PC.
It's unfortunate that despite the poor reception that the PC version received, the Xbox 360 version of the game didn't turn out any better, and is actually worse in several ways. If you're looking for an action-packed hack-and-slash game, you may just want to move on to a different game worthier of your time and money."

Ouch ... That bad, is it? Crikey. And here I thought Ubi prioritized console games. I guess that only applies to the big titles.

Huh... I remember I was having fun while playing this one... I guess some people are too critical.
Which version did you play parcaleste? The criticism comes from the fact that the Xbox port is terrible compared to the PC version. Having played both, I share the author's feelings.
Ah, OK, so the PC version I played.
Postby Ya5MieL » Apr 12 2012, 17:17
I also found the PC version to be OK. Then again, i did have increased willpower to play/end it merely because of the fact that it was might and magic title, so the opinion might be a little biased.
Haven't had the "luck" to try xbox version.

don't these guys realize that they are going downhill? What can they possibly gain by producing poor quality games?
Compared with Blizzard... I still remember vividly the first time I played Diablo. These Blizz guys have it right. Can't ubisoft quit being so proud and learn from its stronger rivals?
Don't they realize? No. They don't. That much is evident.
Postby ThunderTitan » Apr 14 2012, 22:20
Seeing how they're still in business they do get it... sales are about more then the quality of the product unfortunately.
Blizzard has a good track record for sure. But during the last few years, they have been living from WoW monthly fees and the sequel of an old game. Hardly a symbol of innovation.
But back to Elements, the game has been giving me the worst case of motion sickness since Doom 2 a loooong time ago. I have to put down the controller after 45 minutes.

The biggest shame is that the Multiplayer was really fun in Dark Messiah. But after a few months, there was literally nobody online to play with. I mean you could get a group of 12 friends and lay Crusade mode over and over and it would never get old.

'BUT FOR THE ACT', THE HARM WOULD NOT HAVE
OCCURRED-CAUSATION ANALYSIS
Fact Pattern:
Mrs. Adams filled a prescription for Danocrine at her local pharmacy. The prescription incorrectly instructed her to take 1600 milligrams of Danocrine per day or twice the recommended daily dosage. While taking Danocrine, Mrs. Adams experienced abnormal weight gain, bloating, edema, hot flashes, night sweats, a racing heart, chest pains, dizziness, headaches, acne, and fatigue. She was examined by an OB/GYN who told her to stop taking the drug. Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). She was expected to live two and a half more years. She was on the waiting list for a heart-lung transplant when she became pregnant. Because she was pregnant, she was ineligible for a heart-lung transplant. She gave birth to her son and died a month later. Mrs. Adams' expert witness testified that he was confident that the prescribed overdose caused her illness and testified 'more likely than not' Danocrine caused her illness. Expert testimony also ruled out all previously known drug-related causes of PPH and that the progression and timing of Plaintiff's disease in relation to her overdose supported a finding of drug-induced PPH.
Did the action for which the defendant is responsible cause, in a legal sense, the harm which the plaintiff suffered?
Where a negligent act increases the chances that a particular type of result would occur, and such a result does in fact occur, a court may conclude that the negligent conduct was the cause of the injury. The evidentiary standard is that it must support the proposition by a 'more likely than not' standard.
While it was not possible to eliminate all other possible causes of pulmonary hypertension, the evidence presented showed that the experts had not only excluded all causes of secondary pulmonary hypertension but had also ruled out all the previously known drug-related causes of PPH. In addition, based on the expert testimony the progression and timing of Mrs. Adam's illness in relationship to the timing of her overdose supported a finding of drug-induced PPH to a reasonable medical certainty.
Courts have held that where a negligent act was deemed wrongful because the act increased the chances that a particular type of accident would occur, and such an accident did, in fact, happen this negligent conduct caused the injury. Then the burden shifts to the negligent party to show evidence rebutting such but for cause and showing that the wrongful conduct was not a substantial factor. When a person is injured due to another person's or entity's negligence, he or she can recover economic and noneconomic damages that flow from the negligence. Among the elements that the plaintiff suing for negligence will have to prove is that the defendant's violation of a duty was the actual and proximate cause of his or her injuries. He or she will also have to prove duty, breach of duty, and damages.
Cause, in fact, is sometimes called the "but-for" cause. "But-for" cause means that if we could go back in time and remove the defendant's behavior from the sequence of events, would the plaintiff 'more likely than not' still have been injured? If the answer is no, the defendant's behavior is considered the "cause in fact" of the plaintiff's injuries.

Genetic and epidemiological study of hip and knee osteoarthritis
Revealing the genetics of osteoarthritis in families
Support type: Regular Research Grants
Duration: September 01, 2018 - August 31, 2020
Field of knowledge: Health Sciences - Collective Health - Epidemiology
Cooperation agreement: Leiden University
Mobility Program: SPRINT - Projetos de pesquisa - Mobilidade
Principal researcher: Martha Cecilia Castano Betancourt
Grantee: Martha Cecilia Castano Betancourt
Principal researcher abroad: Ingrid Meulenbelt
Institution abroad: Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) , Netherlands
Principal researcher abroad: Rodrigo Coutinho De Almeida
Home Institution: Faculdade de Medicina de Jundiaí (FMJ). Prefeitura Municipal de Jundiaí. Jundiaí , SP, Brazil
Associated research grant: 16/21039-0 - Genetic and epidemiological study of hip and knee osteoarthritis, AP.JP
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and debilitating joint disease worldwide and frequent cause of disability in elderly. In Brazil, OA is also considered the most prevalent rheumatic disease being joint replacement the only effective treatment offered to several affected patients. The genetic component of hip OA and knee OA have been estimated to be around 40-60% using twin studies and it is considered that at least 30% of the risk of OA is genetically determined. Till date, only around 10% of the genetic component have been explained. Next generation exome sequencing (NGE), has been highly successful in identifying likely causal mutations in patients with familial, more severe, phenotypes or Mendelian disorders. Due to their strong effect, these mutations can provide direct clues to genotype-phenotype relations. Both parts of this proposal, the "Molecular Epidemiology and the department of Biomedical Data Sciences" from Leiden University and the "Laboratory of Genetics Epidemiology" from FMJ-Brazil focus a significant part of their research efforts in finding those mutations in genes from affected families with OA. At the moment, the Leiden partner has performed exome sequencing dataset (50x coverage; Beijing Technology Institute) in a cohort (GARP) from 43 patients and early onset of OA in 7 families. The GARP study involves sibling pairs with symptomatic OA at multiple joint sites hence representing familial OA patients at the severe end of the OA spectrum. On the other side, FMJ-Sao Paulo count with DNA extracted from 60 individuals affected with OA and with family history of OA and 30 family members (affected or unaffected with OA), conforming aproximately a total of 6-8 families that are going to be sequenced. In addition, Leiden has available paired preserved and OA affected cartilage samples for around 500 donors undergoing joint replacement surgery for primary OA, in the RAAK study. These cartilage samples will allow to perform functional studies, that will help to determine the expression of the identified genes in this tissue, between others. The objective of this proposal is to establish a mutual collaboration in this research line to be able to detect and replicate findings in families from both studies (Leiden and Sao Paulo) through the use of an Exome-sequencing approach and functional studies to verify expression and function of these genes in cartilage.

Alphington Church Inside (before the re-ordering of 2014)
Displayed above the porch door is the Courtenay family arms from 1400 and the figure of St Michael the Archangel conquering evil in the form of a serpent or dragon.
As you enter the porch there is a basin, called a stoup, for holding holy water this is from the time when the church was Roman Catholic.
Above the inner porch door is a notice requesting worshippers to remove their pattens so that the noise would not disturb the congregation; the notice dates back to about 1720. Pattens are wooden soled overshoes with an iron ring for raising the wearer's shoes out of the mud in the lanes.
Above the porch is a small chamber that was once the priest's living quarters.
A wall memorial inside the church by the inner porch doors shows that the beacon cross that once stood on the top of the tower and the lighting of the clock were given in memory of F. Ethel Sibley by her husband Wm. Chas. Sibley.
The window in the priest's room names Bernard Callender Bennett, Rector of Alphington, 1915–1954 and Kittie H. Bennett 1908–1937.
Between the glass and wooden doors in the porch is a floor memorial to Barbara Turner died 13th August 1674. A floor memorial situated by the priest's room now covered by carpet is in memory of Richard Ellicombe Rector of Alphington for 20 years died 4th August 1851 aged 71 years and his wife Eliza Ellicombe died 30th April 1865 aged 78.
The Norman Beer Stone Font
This is said to be one of finest Beer stone fonts in Devon. It is Norman, dated to about 1100, and decorated with interfaced arches, scroll ornaments and figures over the arches. A copy of the font was placed in the Temple Church, London in about 1841.
On the southeast side are two panels showing St. Michael attacking a dragon with a lance or arrow. This is quite an unusual subject for a font and these two panels are possibly the reason why the church was dedicated to St. Michael. On the left of St. Michael is what is thought to be a large cat.
Continuing to move left, the next panel represents an eagle; an eagle is often carved on fonts, as it is symbolic of baptism. The old story goes that when the eagle becomes old and his wings hang down and his sight is failing he floats high in the air and scorches his wings in the heat of the sun. After this he dips himself three times in a fountain of clear water and becomes young again.
Another panel represents a bird falling downwards, head first with his wings outstretched.
Other panels show an archer shooting probably a goat, a large flower possibly a rose, a figure of a man carrying a stick, this is probably "Paley's Baptismal Fonts" reference to a man carrying a hare on a cane but it is not easy to make out the hare.
There is a crocodile and hydra carved on the bowl.
The West End of the Church
The west end of the church was probably rebuilt at the end of the 14th Century.
At the northwest end is a list of Alphington's Rectors. Above this list is a window dedicated to the memory of Richard Ellicombe MA who died 5th August 1851. The second window in this corner on the north wall was given in memory of Dorothy and Percy Dadd, who farmed at Sobey's for many years, by their daughter Mrs Williams. The service of dedication took place on Sunday 12th January 1996 at 10 a.m.
The screen across the tower arch was made from the panels from the former Jacobean gallery, which was an upper floor that stretched across the back of the church. It was erected at sometime between 1625 and 1632 and removed during the restoration in 1877. The screen shows ten coats of arms for, from the top, left to right: John Tothill of Peamore; Robert Northleigh of Matford Dinham (the Northleighs and Tothills were among the foremost of the county families); Francis Courtenay of Powderham (the arms of Seymour are impaled as Francis married Elizabeth Seymour); Thomas Alden Rector, 1637–1651; The See of Exeter impaling the arms of Joseph Hall, Bishop of Exeter 1626–1641; William Bouchier third Earl of Bath 1628; See of London; Nicholas Duck Recorder of Exeter; Sir John Bampfylde of Poltimore MP for Devon 1678; Humphrey Turner of Thorverton. These panels were repainted in 1905. According to George Oliver, Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Devon, vol: 1, p.72 (1840) these gallery panels also included the arms of Southcot, Oxenham, Coffin, Prust, Holway of Wadeton and the Taylors' Company.
A memorial on the wall/pillar to the left of the screen is dedicated to John and Elizabeth Way, who resided in Alphington for 45 years.
The memorials on the southwest wall are dedicated to Caroli Porter died 25th November 1864 aged 85. William Butterfield Jnr buried 15th January 1859 aged 29, Anna Butterfield buried 18th October 1860 aged 70, William Butterfield buried 18th November 1879 aged 81. Colin Campbell Esq Younger of Stonefield in Argyleshire, North Britain died 4th May 1799 aged 40. I was told that a true Scotsman once came into the church and read the memorial to Colin Campbell and he was not impressed that Argyleshire was said to be in North Britain!

Wheatley Chapel
The staircase well in the south wall is the remains of the stairs that originally led to the Rood loft.
The large chest is the Parish Chest. It has three different shaped key holes as the three keys were held by the Rector and the two churchwardens, this ensures that they were all present when the chest was unlocked. This Parish Chest was used for storing the Parish registers and money.

There is an ancient stone basin (piscina) in the south wall of the sanctuary for draining water. It was moved to its present position when the church was lengthened in 1877. Originally, there were three piscina's but over time two of them have disappeared.
There was originally a carpet in the sanctuary that was worked by Elsie Powlesland.
The sanctuary was decorated and a carved oak reredos was erected in 1900.
On the 5th May 1957 oak panelling on three sides of the altar were dedicated in the memory of Revd. Bernard C. Bennett MA, Rector of Alphington from 1916 until 1954 and Prebendary of Exeter, an inscription in this panelling shows this dedication.

The gate of the sanctuary rail displays a memorial in remembrance of Leonard Mitchell born on 9th October 1894 died 23rd January 1959 and his family given by his sister Minnie. This gate replaced the former crude centre rail.
The Chancel
The Rood screen, which replaced the chancel arch, is 15th century but the north aisle screen may have come from another church as it is different in design and execution. The groining is lost and the spandels filled in with fragments of old carving. On the lower panels are paintings of Saints and Bishops. On the south side of the chancel portion of the screen there is a representation of St. Dunstan clutching the devil by the nose with a pair of pincers. On the north side is a painting of Sir John Shorne, who according to legend caught the devil and shut him up in a boot. John Schorne was appointed vicar of North Marston in 1290 and he was said to have a great gift of healing. The chancel screen was restored in 1870 at the expense of Reginald Courtenay, Earl of Devon.
The parclose screen, the old screen that stands behind the choir stalls, enclosing the chancel is made of Victorian timber and originally contained some Tudor wood dating from 1500.
The Rood Cross was added to the church in memory of Revd. Dupuis, Rector from 1880 until 1915, and was dedicated by his college friend the Bishop of Crediton.
The crucifix above the chancel screen was offered by parishioners and friends also in memory of Revd. Dupuis.

Grace Prowse wife of Humphrey Prowse of Mamhead died 9th January 1659. Mary Sowdon daughter of John Tucker of Brampford Speak wife of John Sowdon died 9th February 1686 aged 39 and John Sowdon of Underwood died 13th March 1693 aged 58.
The Lady Chapel
At the end of 1929 the Church Council had started discussing the plan for the placing of a window given by Mary A Tolman. By March 1930 the Rector called a meeting of church people to discuss this and other planned alterations. It was decided that the 'Tolman window' would replace the small window which was obliterated by the organ. The organ would be moved to the gallery side, part of the organ would be in the church and the other part in the vestry. The space created by the removal of the organ would become a small side chapel for daily service and other small gatherings. Herbert Read carried out the work using 17th century oak panelling found in the rectory.
Upon completion it was stated 'The new chapel does add to the beauty of the church and was thankful to received the beautiful gifts to its adornments'. Mrs Kitts had made and given the kneelers. Mr. A. Pike had made the credence table with some of the oak from the gallery. Mr. Harry Brewer had made the neat oak altar desks. Miss M. Merrick had given the flower vases. The linen cloth had been worked by Mrs Bentley-Carr and Mrs Selley. The altar cross was given in memory of Mrs Kay by her family. The candlesticks and panelling was given by Mrs Bennett in memory of her parents.
On Sunday 28th September 1930, the eve of the Patronal Festival, the Lord Bishop of Crediton dedicated the side chapel and window at the 6:30 pm evensong. The first celebration at the altar of the chapel took place on St Michael and All Angels Day.
James and Erica Malcolm are remembered by an inscription on the wood panelling by their daughter Kate Hilda Bennett.
In 1936 Mrs Bonus and Miss Gladys Bonus presented six beautifully carved oak pews as a memorial to the late Revd. Albert Bonus MA Priest Scholar 4th September 1854–24th March 1936 and his son Mr. John Courtenay Bonus churchwarden 1922–1929 born 22nd December 1891 died 15th April 1936. These pews replaced the chairs in the Lady Chapel and the carvings in the panels were a representation of the life work of Revd. Albert Bonus and Mr. John Courtenay Bonus. A carving on one of these pews shows a gowned scholar who is concentrating so much on his studies that he does not notice a mouse gnawing at his gown. The Archdeacon of Exeter conducted the dedication service in 1936. The decorative work of the pews were in the same Jacobean style as the old panelling in the church.
The first window is the Tolman window that was given by Mary A. Tolman in memory of her parents, brothers and sisters.
The first wall memorial is in memory of Master Robert Northleigh of Matford Dinham, Alphington, he married Joan the daughter of Henry Tothill of Peamore Esq, they had eight sons and three daughters, Henry, George, Jeffrey, Robert, John, Robert, Thomas, James, Marye, Joan, Margarett; Robert Northleigh died 18th January 1638 aged 55. The second memorial is in memory of Henry Northleigh of Peamore Esq. born in Dean Prior on 4th March 1642 and died 31st January 1693 in London a member of Parliament. The last wall memorial in this chapel is in memory of Joseph Martyn died 17th March 1676 aged 79.

White House press secretary calls on pro-Trump fake news site
Sean Spicer is legitimizing conspiracy-mongering sites by calling on them during press conferences.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer is sending a message to the traditional media with his first calls at White House press conferences.
On Monday, the first question went to the New York Post, a conservative-leaning outlet, instead of the traditional choice, the Associated Press. On Tuesday, the first question went to LifeZette — a website founded and headed by conservative pundit and Trump cheerleader Laura Ingraham.
Jim Stinson of LifeZette took the opportunity to point out that "immigration enforcement organizations and activists" were concerned that Trump hadn't yet acted to repeal DACA and DAPA — two immigration executive orders — and ask when they could expect Trump to do so.
Trump transition seeks info about undocumented immigrants
The nightmare is coming true.
LifeZette was founded in 2015, and throughout the 2016 campaign was an avid participant in the phenomenon now dubbed "fake news," trafficking in conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton.
In a video titled "Clinton Body Count," released in April 2016, a LifeZette correspondent, over an ominous music track, suggests without evidence that the Clinton family may have had some role in John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane crash, as well as deaths of various Democratic operatives.

According to The Intercept, the video garnered 400,000 shares and 14 million views.
Interestingly, the video — along with another article titled " 10 People Under the Clinton Curse" that alleged the Clintons were somehow connected to "nearly 90 bodies" — have both disappeared from LifeZette's website and social media feeds.
The video is still available on other sites, and the article is available via Google cache.

Another LifeZette video from October 2016 alleges without credible evidence that voting machines in 16 states could be "compromised," because the company that made them was purchased by George Soros.
In truth, Soros had not purchased the company, and the company didn't even provide voting machines for use in the general election.
LifeZette also promoted the conspiracy theory — based on a leaked exchange from Wikileaks — that Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta participated in occult rituals involving blood sacrifice.
The conspiracy theory was based on emails sent to Podesta's brother and forwarded to the Clinton aide by Marina Abramovic, inviting him to a dinner party. Notably, Podesta didn't respond to the email.
"I'm outraged, because this is taken completely out of my context," Abramovic told ArtNews about the conspiracy theory, which went viral. "It was just a normal dinner. It was actually just a normal menu, which I call spirit cooking. There was no blood, no anything else. We just call things funny names, that's all."

#SpiritCooking became a top trending hashtag in the week before the election.
Trump, who accused CNN of being "fake news" at his first press conference since the election, reportedly considered LifeZette founder and owner Laura Ingraham to be his press secretary.
This post has been updated to include additional LifeZette headlines.
