Located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Honey Stinger crafts nutritious and great-tasting honey-based foods. In 1954, Ralph and Luella Gamber developed the EN-R-G Bar to provide an alternative to the candy bars available at the time. Their simple bars used natural ingredients and since Ralph was a beekeeper, honey was the star ingredient. Although Ralph and Luella knew they were on to something, the market was not quite ready for energy foods. In 2002 EN-R-G Foods, Inc. was reestablished in Steamboat Springs, Colorado with the same goal of providing great-tasting, honey-based energy foods made with natural ingredients.

After seeing their photographs Toby wrote "Photos look amazing - we are both thrilled to bits!". Keely and Toby's wedding occurred at Lords Cricket Ground in London on the 4th August 2018. It was a wonderful celebration of their love for each other shared with family and friends. The wedding ceremony was very moving and a little funny when the best man had to search for the rings in all his pockets (he did find them eventually), champagne and canapes were served in one of the Pavilion Towers which gave everyone a fantastic view of the Marylebone Cricket Club ground, and the speeches were very emotional and very special. All in all a truly beautiful, natural, fun and yet intimate wedding.

Steve Sabol Remembered
An eight-foot statue of Steve Sabol was unveiled in August on the campus of NFL Films located in Mt. Laural, New Jersey. Sabol was the artistic vision behind the studio that revolutionized the way America watches football. Sabol, who passed away in 2012, received 35 Emmys for writing, cinematography, editing, directing, and producing during his tenure which began in 1964 when the company was founded. No one else in all of television has earned as many Emmys in as many different categories as Sabol.
Here's a link to an intriguing interview conducted by ESPN reporter Sal Paolantonio with Chad Fisher the sculptor of the Sabol statue. Fisher talks about how Sabol influenced him as an artist.

LadBaby celebrates THIRD Christmas No 1 but worries about 'X Factor boycott': EXCLUSIVE | Music | Entertainment
Today LadBaby landed his third Christmas No 1 in a row with charity single Don't Stop Me Eatin'. The Journey parody of Don't Stop Believin' sees all profits go to foodbank charity The Trussell Trust. The chart sensation, real name Mark Hoyle, had actually originally decided not to attempt it this year. But will he ever stop?
Speaking exclusively with Express.co.uk, LadBaby said: "Erm, I don't know! I honestly don't know, I guess we always look at one Christmas at a time.
"It's one of those things. It's got to be about if we feel that we can do it justice for the charity.
"We don't want to get to a place where the X Factor kind of dominated it for so many years and it started to have a negative effect at the end."
The YouTuber pointed out how people started to boycott the X Factor single each year and how he doesn't want that to happen to him.

LadBaby continued: "We need to be able to be in a position where that doesn't happen because that'll impact the charity as well.
"We don't want people to negatively think like that about something we're trying to do for good.
"At the minute we're saying this is the last one, but who knows what happens over the years to come."
Apart from his three Christmas No 1s, we asked LadBaby what his favourite Christmas song is.
LadBaby said: "My wife though, she's obsessed with Christmas, she has the Disney Christmas album in the car from about October.
"I listen to Mickey Mouse singing most of our Christmas songs!"
Asked why he chose Journey's Don't Stop Believin' this year, LadBaby admitted they had run out of songs with rock and roll in the title.
He said: "What we've tried to do for the last two years is find songs that families love and that families know. We want to do a song that Mum, Dad, Granny and the kids can have a little dance to it."
LadBaby continued: "We looked at karaoke songs and Journey's Don't Stop Believin' always ranks high and obviously puts people in a feel-good mood; something they feel confident about singing.
"So we thought, 'Why not? Let's give it a go and weave some sausage roll magic into that!' And you know what? I think it's a kind of sentiment of what we all need this year. Don't Stop Believin' that things are gonna get better and 2021's gonna be a better year. It just felt right!"
The Christmas No 1 winner shared how The Trussell Trust told him that in the first six months of the pandemic they handed out 1.2 million food parcels.
He said: "That's more than they've ever handed out in any six-month period and so I thought 'You know what, I'm going to try again'."
LadBaby's Don't Stop Me Eatin' is out now and can be purchased here.

Supporting Hong Kong's expansion
by Editor | Dec 4, 2018 | Features |
At its peak in 1963, Hong Kong ran the busiest street tramway in the world. Its double-decker trams are an icon of the city and today those same double-deckers remain, although the tramway (since 2013 part of a French consortium with Veolia-Transdev and RATP) has changed around it. Today's ridership is reduced from 191 to 70 million, there are slightly fewer cars and those that survive are less well-loaded. Competition from bus companies and the presence of a parallel MTR line could have contributed to this decline, although the effect of these cannot be more than an estimated 10%.
The original 1904 double-track 1067mm-gauge line runs 13.5km (8.4 miles) from west to east, Kennedy Town – Shaukeiwan, along the northern coast of Hong Kong Island.
Six routes operate, of which only one covers the whole length. There is one depot in the west, on reclaimed land near Whitty Street with a workshop, and one in the east at Sai Wan Ho, located under a highway. Both opened in 1989. Trams run from 05.00-00.00.
The changes to the famous double-decker trams go generally unnoticed by most visitors; they were rebodied in the mid-1950s and again between 1987-91. The most apparent changes are curved-corner windows (front and side), and the addition of a resistor box on the roof complete with fleet number.
A ten-year overhaul programme began in 2011, with around half of the fleet completed to date. All cars will have all-metal bodies, automatic flap gates, wooden seats with aluminium frames, LED interior lights, new destination displays and public address systems, and chopper control units to facilitate electrodynamic braking and replacement
of the dc motors with ac versions (50kW, 400V) made by China CNR Corporation.
One 'heritage' car remains in normal service, 120, built in 1991 to a 1950s style. It is the only one that still has a Dick Kerr controller.
For years fleet numbers stopped at 162 (with the exception of works car 200), but now run to 175 thanks to the introduction of car 163 (rebuilt from trailer 1 made by Taikoo Dockyard, trailers being abandoned in 1982) in 1979. Re-numberings took place and new cars, all 'designed and built in Hong Kong at the HK tramways depot' joined the fleet – including three so-called Millennium trams (168-170) in 2000, replete with aluminium bodies and large front windows. Only two still have this facing; 168 got the more usual triple end windows. There are now approximately 160 cars in regular service. Cars 28, 68 and 128 are party trams with semi-open upper decks.
Car 50 went to the Hong Kong Museum of History in Kowloon in 1997, and a motorless 201 stands in Ocean Park – a replica in the style of the 1950s – although about 50m of rails and overhead wire are present in this 'Old Hong Kong Street' that was created in 2012.
Hong Kong Tramways currently has three works cars, 200, 300 and 400, used for track cleaning, track welding and towing broken cars. Car 300 has been equipped with a diesel generator set. Most rail grinding today is undertaken by road-rail vehicles, and the original works car 200 from 1956 was scrapped in 1984.
Although air-conditioning would be no luxury in Hong Kong's climate, trials on new car 171 were unsuccessful and never made it into passenger service. The next trial in 2014 was on new car 88 (the existing 88 became 30), currently the only one with air-conditioning aside from tourist tram 128. Plans to equip ten more cars were not realised.
Car 88 is also one of a number to wear the new HKT livery, introduced in 2017. As this prevents the use of overall advertising, one expects only a limited number of cars will carry this new scheme. All cars now feature a 'smile' on the bumpers.
The standard HKD2.60 (EUR0.28) fare (as of 2 July) is collected either in cash or via the Octopus smartcard that offers a 50% reduction. Payment is taken at the door, where coinboxes and card readers have been installed.
Peak Tram and LRT
Visitors to Hong Kong are blessed with a number of transport options to see the city – of these, the funicular is one of the oldest and most popular, with the first funicular going up to Victoria Peak (552m/1840ft above sea level) in 1888. The terminus, Victoria Gap, however, lies 150m lower at 1312 ft. The 1524mm-gauge route has a length of 1.4km (0.86-mile) with four intermediate request stops; the control and machine room are at the upper station.
Today, no tourist will miss a visit to the Peak and its leisure complex with shops, restaurants, a sky terrace and a Madame Tussauds waxworks museum. The current twin cars, already the fifth-generation and made by the Swiss firm Gangloff, date from 1989 and have a capacity for 120 passengers. Even with increased capacity, the Peak Tram often has the problem of demand outstripping supply. Annual fare increases have had very little influence on its popularity and its owner, Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels (HSH), is looking for a solution, but the funicular has limited expansion possibilities so there are rumours about a parallel-running ropeway. Frequencies are every 15 minutes, enhanced to seven minutes at peak times. As of March 2018, adults pay HKD37 (EUR4) for a single and HKD52 (EUR5.70) for a return ticket. Service hours are from 07.00-00.00.
LRT complements the street-running trams and funicular, a system brought to fruition in part due to a huge increase in the city's population. A programme begun in 1977 in the north-western territories sought to house this increase. Afishing village on the coast, Tuen Mun, and more to the north, Yuen Long, were spearheads and saw the construction of many 40-storey apartment blocks and large factories. Very soon, the necessity of public transport was felt. The first LRT services ran in 1988 along five routes: three from Tuen Mun to Yuen Long and two in Tuen Mun. KCR Corporation (the Kowloon-Canton Railway), a governmental organisation established in 1982, was assigned as operator. All lines are double-track and standard gauge with 750V dc overhead supply. Platforms are 1100mm high.
The rolling stock, 70 four-axle, single-deck cars, came from Commonwealth Engineering (Comeng) in Australia – resembling Melbourne's Z cars that feature doors fitted
to the left-hand side.
However, as the population grew so did the system: there are currently 12 routes including to nearby settlements such as Tin Shui Wai, on 36.2km (22.5 miles) of track (89% segregated from other traffic). Most routes accommodate more than one line, resulting in three-minute peak frequencies.
Additional cars came from Australia (Goninan and United Group) and Japan (Kawasaki), while the latest batch in 2009 partly came from CSR Changchun in China. In total 142 cars have been delivered, all of which are in service now except one (1013); ten have no control-units and are coupled to a motorcar. All are built to the same design (20.2m long and 2.65m wide) with only the latest batch featuring a more streamlined front. Most of today's 12 lines are operated in double-consists.
An order has been placed with CSSR Puzhen for 40 new vehicles to relieve the 1993 Kawasaki cars which, unlike the first batch, will not be revised.
Fares are operated on a zonal system, ranging from HKD4.5-6.5 (EUR0.50-0.72). Each of the 68 stops has a ticket machine, use of which is enforced by the occasional presence of onboard ticket inspectors. Octopus cards can also be used.
It is not impossible that LRT usage will soon surpass HKT and Peak passenger numbers: in 2017 180m people used the system.
Since 2007, all public transport except HKT and Peak Tram has been brought together under a single governmental organisation, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC) initially formed to execute plans for the Metro. In 2000, part of its capital went to the stock market, and one year later it was listed on the Hang Seng financial index.
While the trams, LRT and funicular handle traffic above ground, Hong Kong also has a need for sub-surface routes and the Metro (named MTR) has seven of these, which each bear a name and colour-code.
The Green, or Kwun Tong, line was the first to be built in 1979. In 1985 the Red line to Tsuen Wan followed, and then the Blue Hong Kong Island line, running parallel with the tramway. The new century saw the next new routes: the South Island line opened in December 2016, the latest route travelling to the densely-populated island, Ap Lei Chau, connected via a bridge with Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, the first line was extended to Whampoa and the Island line to Kennedy Town. Two special lines are also worthy of mention here: the Brown or Ma On Shan line (2004), running on viaduct with 24kV ac overhead like the railways and using the same type of trains: SP 1950 from Japan's KinkiSharyo. Secondly, the short 3.5km (2.2-mile) Disneyland Resort line (Pink; opened in 2005) runs from the theme park to the Sunny Bay railway station on Lantau in just four minutes. Four 'Mickey Mouse-styled' trainsets are available, but only one can occupy the single-track at any one same time with trains running every ten minutes. The fairy-decorated terminus ensures visitors to the popular theme park arrive in the right mood.
British firm Metro Cammell was awarded the sizeable rolling stock order for the first three lines, using trucks from Düwag and consisting of 671 air-conditioned motorcars and trailers running in eight-car trains.
Orders for fleet expansion went to Kinkisharyo, Hyundai Rotem and most recently CSR Changchun. Ten three-car trains delivered by CSR serve the South Island line, operating without conductor. CSR Sifang is currently delivering 744 new cars – 93 x 8 – to replace the oldest ones, between 2018-23.
The headways are six minutes or less on most routes, running 06.00-01.00. Fares are distance-based, varying from HKD4.5-14.5 (EUR0.50-1.60). Information displays and announcements are in both English and Chinese.
With more than two million daily passengers, MTR is a very profitable organisation, with an on-time rate of over 99.5%, making it one of the best performing metros in the world.
There is currently only one large project underway, the 17km (10.6 mile) Shatin Central Link (SCL) that will not only unlock the eastern part of the New Territories but also offer connections between East Rail and West Rail. From the ten planned stations, six will have interchange possibilities. It runs from Tai Wai station via Kai Tak, where the former airport was situated, to Hung Hom (ready in 2019), and from Hung Hom through a new tunnel to Admiralty on Hong Kong Island (to open in 2021).
Work began in 2012 and the rolling stock is already arriving, sourced from CSR, KinkiSharyo/Kawasaki and Hyundai-Rotem.
East and West Rail
Since 1910, the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) has connected Kowloon with Canton (Guangzhou) over 178km (110 miles) of tracks. Trade with China was and still is crucial as Hong Kong is entirely reliant on China for life's necessities. With the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, through trains were finished and KCR was restricted to 35km (22 miles) on Hong Kong's territory as far as Lo Wu. With metro routes yet to materialise, the station at Tsim Sha Tsui (South Kowloon) was too small, resulting in a new building at Hung Hom (1975), with most facilities underground.
In 1977 the government decided to modernise the route with 24kV ac/50Hz electrification, new double-track more or less parallel with the existing line, improved signalling, new trains, stations and a depot. This took six years to realise, including a 7.4km (4.6-mile) branch in the north to Lok Ma Chau, close to the Chinese port of Futian.
From 1996 the railway has been rebranded East Rail, and passenger numbers have exploded. Twelve-car trains run every six minutes, down to every three minutes in
the peaks. It is the only railway in the region with two classes: first class features upholstered cross-benches, while there is also a 'quiet' car. Metro Cammell manufactured these cars, with the differences to the metro cars being minimal.
KCR was swallowed by MTRC in 2007. In 2001 SP 1900 vehicles from Kinkisharyo joined the fleet and from 2018, 37 nine-car R-stock sets from Hyundai Rotem will gradually replace the original stock.
Goods traffic on this important route mostly runs overnight and MTR uses five Siemens ER20 'Eurorunner' diesel locomotives, as well as some older locomotives, to take over services from China.
Through trains were scantily introduced in 1979, but 1997 saw more trains running. This 'Guangdong' line is operated by both MTRC and China Rail; the latter uses SS8 electric locomotives and single-deck coaches, while the Kowloon through-train (Ktt) consists of double-deck coaches with type 2000 locomotives from SLM and Adtranz at both ends. Trains cover the distance with one stop every two hours, 12 times a day. A single fare is HKD210 (EUR36) with one daily train as far as Beijing or Shanghai.
Next year this picture may change totally as the China Railway High Speed (CRH) line from Beijing via Wuhan to Shenzhen is to be extended by 26km (16 miles) to a dedicated new station in West Kowloon. This route runs entirely in-tunnel, a project that has taken nine years so far, and when complete it will be the world's longest high-speed railway at 2230km (1385 miles). At the 'Main Works Completion Ceremony' on 23 March, the name was announced as 'Vibrant Express', chosen by the public – trains will run every 15 minutes.
Cross-border to Shenzhen
Hong Kong may now have joined the Peoples' Republic, but border crossings have changed little: visas, currency exchange, intensive checking and long waiting times are just as before. But having passed through, one emerges into China's fastest-growing and richest city.
Just 40 years ago, Shenzhen was a small fishing-focused town with 30 000 inhabitants. In 1979 a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was established to attract work from Hong Kong's super-heated economy and developments rolled fast, resulting in a city with more than ten million current inhabitants.
The local administration opted for an integrated transport system, starting in 2004, and the city now owns eight metro lines (also called MTR), with seven more under construction and four more planned. With six-car trains of Chinese origin, MTR uses overhead wire, and is very user-friendly with announcements in both Chinese and English. The Szenzhen Tong smartcard is popular with users, short trips costing CNY2 (EUR0.27).
Metro line 4 has a temporary terminus at Qinghu in the Longhua district. An extension with eight stops will be realised later, although in the meantime the three-route 11.7km (7.3-mile) SZTram covers the area. Two lines start at Qinghu and split at DaHe, with one going to Xiawei and the other to Xinlan. These two termini are connected by the third line.
All opened in October 2017 after four years of construction.
The rolling stock, 15 four-car sets, were built by CRRC Zhuzhou and as is usual in China, battery-operation replaces overhead lines with at-stop recharging in about 20 seconds. A standard fare of CNY2 (EUR0.27) is charged. When metro line 4 reaches its conclusion, one expects the tram will serve as a feeder line.
High-speed to Lantau
The fastest way to reach Tuen Mun in the New Territories from Hong Kong Island used to be by hydrofoil. Unfortunately, this ceased at the end of last century, substituted by a
bus service, until West Rail opened in 2003. This line runs 30.5km (19.1 miles) from
Hung Hom station, underground to Yuen Long and further on viaducts to Tuen
Mun with connections to the LRT lines. Less frequented than East Rail, here eight-car trains handle service easily, all SP 1900 units from KinkiSharyo.
In 2015, Thales won a contract to modernise and maintain MTR signalling, now testing on East Rail.
The biggest island of the New Territories, Lantau was not particularly well developed before the new airport arrived in 1998. For its construction, the little island Chek Lap Kok was connected to Lantau via land reclamation. At the same time two new rail routes opened: the Airport Express and the Tung Chung line, named after a village there.
Both high-speed lines start at Hong Kong Central and share track; the Airport Express runs underground to Kowloon where it stops at a new station with one more stop on the island of Tsing Yi. The Tung Chung line has one stop more at Sunny Bay. At its terminus one can change to Ngong Ping 360: a ropeway that brings passengers 5.7km (3.5 miles) farther to the cultural-themed village of Ngong Ping in 23 minutes. Here a big bronze Buddha statue overlooks the bustle of shops and restaurants, so characteristic of Chinese showplaces. Return tickets cost HKD210 (EUR23) or HKD290/EUR32 for a cabin with a transparent floor.
The Airport Express was extended one stop to the Asia World Expo in 2005. Air tourists can check-in at Hung Hom and Kowloon stations with the blue-coloured trains having the first car reserved for luggage. Nine bus lines run from Hung Hom and Kowloon to
all the big hotels free of charge.
The high-speed trains have eight cars from CAF and Adtranz (now Bombardier). The rolling stock of the Tung Chung line is the same, but brown in colour. Each line has a headway of ten minutes; a single ticket to the airport costs HKD115 (EUR12.60), although with the Octopus smartcard this is much cheaper.
Of course there are extension plans like the 'Northern Link' between West Rail and the Chinese border at Lok Ma Chau. But whatever plans may occur in future, Hong Kong has managed to create in just 40 years a very efficient public transport system that covers almost the whole region.

As explained in the preceding chapter, the Active Voice of a verb is used when the subject of the verb refers to the person or thing performing the action described by the verb.
In contrast, the Passive Voice of a verb is used when the subject of the verb refers to the person or thing receiving the action described by the verb. Only a verb which can take an object can be put into the Passive Voice.
The Passive Voice is more commonly used in English than it is in other European languages such as German or French. As well as being used in everyday English, the Passive Voice is used extensively in official documents and scientific papers.
In the following examples, the verbs in the Passive Voice are underlined.
e.g. The ball was struck by the boy.
Gold has been found by the explorers.
In these examples, the verbs was struck and has been found are in the Passive Voice. The subjects ball and gold refer to things receiving the actions described by the verbs.
For every tense in the Active Voice, there is a corresponding tense in the Passive Voice. In the Passive Voice, the verb to be acts as an auxiliary. The Passive Voice tenses of an English verb are formed from the corresponding conjugations of to be, followed by the past participle of the verb.
Similarly, the other Indicative tenses of the Passive Voice of the verb to show are conjugated as indicated in the following table. The corresponding tenses of the verb to be are included for purposes of comparison.
The following table summarizes the formation of the Indicative tenses of the Passive Voice.
* The other modal auxiliaries form conjugations in the same way as shown for will and shall.
** The Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous, Future Continuous, and Future Perfect Continuous tenses of the Passive Voice are cumbersome, and are rarely used. Only the more commonly used tenses of the Passive Voice will be discussed below.
As is the case for other English conjugations, verbs in the Passive Voice form questions and negative statements using the first auxiliary.
You were shown the sights. Were you shown the sights?
She is being shown the sights. Is she being shown the sights?
He will have been shown the sights. Will he have been shown the sights?
We should be shown the sights. Should we be shown the sights?
You were not shown the sights.
She is not being shown the sights.
He will not have been shown the sights.
We should not be shown the sights.
Were you not shown the sights?
Is she not being shown the sights?
Will he not have been shown the sights?
Should we not be shown the sights?
Weren't you shown the sights?
Isn't she being shown the sights?
Won't he have been shown the sights?
Shouldn't we be shown the sights?
When the verb of a sentence is changed from the Active Voice to the Passive Voice and the other words in the sentence are left unaltered, a change in meaning results. In the following examples, the verbs are underlined.
e.g. Active Voice: He is driving to the airport.
Passive Voice: He is being driven to the airport.
The person referred to by the subject of the first sentence is behaving actively; the person is doing the driving. The person referred to by the subject of the second sentence is behaving passively; someone else is doing the driving.
Using the first person singular of the verb to show as an example, the following table compares the most commonly used tenses of the Indicative Mood of the Passive Voice with the corresponding tenses of the Active Voice.
See Exercises 4 and 5.
It should be noted that, when changing the Voice of a verb in a sentence while preserving the meaning of the sentence, it is necessary to make sure that the verb agrees with its new subject.
e.g. Active: The boys are mowing the lawn.
Passive: The lawn is being mowed by the boys.
In the first sentence, the subject boys is plural; therefore a plural auxiliary are is used. In the second sentence, the subject lawn is singular; therefore a singular auxiliary is is used. The agreement of verbs with noun subjects is discussed in the next chapter.

Q: ServerSelectionError: nodejs, mongoDB, heroku Like many, I encountered a ServerSelectionError when testing endpoint requests (hosted on Heroku, in my case) to MongoDB in Postman.
The option I elected to try (before creating new outbound rules in windows firewall and opening ports 27015-27017) was changing my NAT filtering setting in my router from secured to open due to the router explicitly stating leaving it set to secured could cause point to point applications to not work. Setting NAT filtering to OPEN resolved my ServerSelectionError.
The question I now have pertains to the difference between changing NAT filtering setting vs. creating new outbound rules in windows firewall.
Would I be better off adding new outbound rules in windows firewall and opening the required ports  intstead of setting NAT filtering to open? Expanding on the answer to that question (as to why/why not) would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

October 23, 2017 October 24, 2017 - by admin - 9 Comments.
This cultic organization named TPM has done its best to defame Jesus and his apostles by throwing his words into the trash before their ignorant Laity. They think that they can attribute any false statement to Jesus and it will be established. Unfortunately for them, Jesus cares for his own words and not the twists of these Clergymen.
This is with reference to one of the Points mentioned in the Doctrine Statement of TPM which they falsely attributed to Jesus and his apostles. TPM Believes that Jesus will come a second time in "SECRET" and whisk away their perfected Saints (assumed to be their Clergymen) to Zion. According to TPM, this Secret coming is the first stage of the Multi-stage Second Coming. Sounds like some multi-stage ISRO Rocket launch.
Check out the below portion from the Voice Of Pentecost 2017 edition.
Even though the wordings make their intent clear for long time insiders that the ones caught up in the Rapture are their Clergy(Perfected Saints), they will not openly admit that. It is because such an admission might be the end of their Religious Business. Their subtle teaching is that, as married people had physical relations with their spouses, they are considered "Defiled" and hence dropped out of the race for Rapture.
Even more hilarious is the scripture they quoted for the supposed "Secret Coming". Let us check out the verses.
Examine the underlined portions in the above-quoted Scriptures. I challenge you to find a more Noisier verse in the Bible. And TPM Thought that this is SECRET.
In case you did not know the meaning of SECRET, it is shown below.
Do you think the above scripture is a reference to the supposed "SECRET COMING"?
The TPM Clergy circumvents the above question by saying that this shout and noise will be heard ONLY by the so-called PERFECTED SAINTS. Do you find such a mention in this or any other associated scripture? Is not that "Adding to the scripture" (Rev 22:18)?
Do you think the above verses speak of a Sudden Transport as mentioned by TPM?
If I have to make an assumption, Alwyn and Co got duped by the forerunners of the Left Behind Series Movie team. For them, the imaginative stories of J.N.Darby, Margaret Mcdonalds, and C.I. Scoffield is more important than crystal clear scriptural passages.
What is the Truth regarding this Secret Coming?
In clear words, There is ONLY One Second Coming of Jesus and that is Not a SECRET COMING. Nothing Secretive about his coming. Just as they have multi-tiered heaven, TPM also preaches about a multi-stage second Coming. Such teachings are from the pit of Hell. Do not fall into the lies of TPM and its eschatological teachings. There is NOT EVEN ONE Scripture in the bible which says about a Secret Coming. Every instance of his coming, the second time will be glorious coming in the Clouds of heaven where EVERY EYE will see HIM. In addition to the Thessalonians verses, check out the below verses.
All scriptures which say about the second coming of Jesus speaks about a Glorious Visible and Audible coming. Not even ONE scripture speaks about a SECRET COMING. If there was even ONE, TPM would have produced it in their Statement of Faith.
Then What about the Sudden Transportation?
The Bible does not talk about the sudden Transportation (Intended to be instant disappearance) anywhere.
The instantaneous change in our Body to an immortal Body, but still no sudden transportation is mentioned.
Sudden Destruction of the wicked.
Sudden Appearance of Jesus and Sudden Destruction of the wicked.
Even so, it will not be sudden for the ones that are ready and keep the watch. Please do not confuse Sudden with Secret. Both are different terms and means different things.
We will have a changed body at that moment when the LAST TRUMPET is BLOWN.
The word "Caught up" has been assumed to be doing a sudden transportation to Heaven by our TPM friends. But the text does not speak of the speed but just of the removal from the earth by force. To assume that the people will suddenly become invisible as shown in the movie "Left Behind", is just good imagination. I have heard of sermons of people becoming invisible during the "Secret Rapture". If we go back to the scriptures we do not have any reason to imagine that kind of transportation. Rather, we can see a slower transportation when Jesus was lifted up.
Therefore, in the absence of any definite text, it is much safer to assume the way rapture would happen should be just like how Jesus ascended to heaven. I guess that would create much awe amongst the wicked of the earth than the sudden disappearance (my 2 cents).
I am sure that most of the above would have messed up with your existing TPM Eschatological teachings if you have been feeding on TPM Doctrines. You can, of course, ask your counter questions in the comments section. Unlike the TPM Clergy, we are more than glad to answer those questions. If those questions require longer explanations, we will try to accommodate in the next articles of the series. Till then God Speed.
People(TPM Clergy) Who pride in the false notion that they are preparing the Bride for the coming of the Lord at least needs to know when the Groom Comes.
A wonderful article on Second coming. Once, while I was a staunch follower of TPM doctrine, my Christian friend from another church asked me to expound the TPM doctrine of secret coming thru scripture. I tried to explain him using the scriptures from 1 Thess chap 4, 1 Corin chap 5 and Revelation chap 12 figuratively. He absolutely refuted my stand thru scripture. I then started questioning my understanding regarding the doctrine of secret coming and approached a, prominent and well known by all, TPM minister. When I posed this question, he immediately accepted that the secret coming and it's timeline, as preached by TPM, is not according to the scripture. I couldn't believe my ears. I actually believed that he would have some scriptural reference to support TPM's claim as he usually has verses for any question. Further he added that this doctrine is being preached for a long time in TPM and prohibited me to propagate about the falsity of the secret coming doctrine as this would shake the foundation of TPM's preaching. That was the instance that made me to question all of TPMs doctrines.
When you challenge them and they are not able to provide scriptures, they get very angry at you. This has happened quite a few times. Their second coming doctrine is just a stack of hay ready to be burned.
Sorry brother, I can't name that TPM minister. This site is being followed by almost all of the TPM ministers (upto my knowledge) who have access to internet and know English. Hence I can't put him in jeopardy for accepting the falsity of this doctrine, gracefully. Moreover the aforesaid minister too is following this site.
"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
The restricted or unrevealed or undisclosed or unpublished or unknown or untold part or confidential matter for now is the exact timing (or date and time of the rapture) – Mark 13:32; Matthew 24:36.
When He comes or after He appears, the secret part of the exact timing of his appearance will no longer be a secret. Also as mentioned above in Revelation 1:7 every eye shall him.
Nice article .Brother ,could you please, write about 7 years tribulation period.
This is a series and we are planning to do an end to end cover of the Second coming of Jesus. I hope it will be a blessing to all. Do ask your questions and we are happy to clarify.

Check Out These Homemade Kurdish Tanks
They're terrible

Historically isolated from arms suppliers and outgunned by Islamic State militants, resourceful Kurdish security forces have built their own makeshift armored vehicles—all in a desperate bid to beef up their own fighting strength.
But guess what. These homemade tanks really suck.
Photo via Twitter
In northern Syria and neighboring regions of Iraq, the Kurdish People's Protection Unit—or YPG—has modified vans, trucks and construction equipment with guns and shielding.
Which doesn't mean the improvised tanks can shoot worth a damn … or survive a hit by the militants' rocket-propelled grenades.
The DIY tanks are worse than useless on the battlefield—they're a waste of time and effort and are likely to get their crews killed. But they sure do look cool—or hilarious, at least—on Twitter.

Some of the tanks function as ambulances, trundling through enemy fire to retrieve wounded Kurdish fighters, according to Opsiyon Haber, a Turkish news Website covering Kurdistan.
The DIY designs vary, as do their color schemes. The Kurds like to spray-paint their homemade tanks in gaudy "camouflage" and add eyes, flames and other features as flair. You might also see the improvised armored vehicles sporting YPG insignia and flags.

The Kurdish tanks aren't the world's only homemade heavy weapons. Syrian rebels manufacture their own rockets. And of course, generations of Taliban and other insurgent fighters have made a fine art of designing and building improvised explosive devices.
IEDs have proved remarkably effective. But the YPG tanks undoubtedly lack the horsepower and mobility for serious fighting. And bolt-on armor has a bad habit of shattering and blasting out shrapnel when struck by enemy fire.
Photos via Twitter
On Reddit, the YPG tanks' rectilinear forms have inspired comparisons to the Sturmpanzerwagen A7V, an iconic German armored vehicle from World War I.
That vehicle led to the development of the much more capable tanks of World War II and beyond. The YPG tanks, on the other hand, are evolutionary dead ends, as they're all basically farm or construction vehicles with a bunch of stuff welded on.

On Aug. 14, the U.S., France and the U.K. pledged to supply Kurdish forces with modern weapons to aid in their fight against Islamic State. The new hardware could kill the demand for DIY tanks.
Not that the homemade vehicles ever were particularly useful in combat.

Tyson finds Return on Investment in Digital Inclusion
by EdTech Center Staff | May 27, 2021 | Announcements
With access to large numbers of frontline workers, employers such as Tyson Foods are critical partners in ensuring digital navigator services — or just-in-time supports for device and internet access — are made available to many adults in the U.S.
Tyson Foods, a member of the Digital US Employer Network Advancing Digital Skills and Equity, has supported diverse workers from across the country with their digital inclusion needs both to succeed at work and to accomplish their personal goals, such as supporting their children in online learning or banking online.
"Employers need to help close the widening gap between those who have digital skills and those who don't, and providing digital navigator services bring significant ROI to the employer and the broader community," said Anson Green, Senior Manager, Economic Opportunity, Tyson Foods.
Digital navigator services have been thoughtfully embedded into Tyson Foods's Upward Academy, an ambitious training initiative to upskill its frontline factory and food processing workers and provide basic education services including English as a second language, high school equivalency, digital literacy, financial literacy, and U.S. citizenship. Tyson offers classes online or in the plant immediately before and after workers' shifts, developed digital literacy labs at their factories, and a device loaning program for employees to take tablets home. Upward Academy training provides comprehensive supports for digital literacy in orientations and integrates digital skills instruction throughout its trainings.
"Tyson's digital inclusion efforts stand out as they have overcome barriers to meet the needs of thousands of factory workers with emergent language and digital literacy skills. The majority are immigrants and live in rural areas, and within a single plant, may represent up to 50 different countries and many more language groups," says Priyanka Sharma of World Education, Inc. and Co-Director of Digital US and its Digital Navigator initiative.
Employees at an Upward Academy training
To ensure team members succeed in the classroom, a support network activates around the students. In addition to interpreting and translation services, HR staff, bilingual community liaisons, chaplains who serve in roles similar to case managers, or additional staff from partner community colleges or training providers are brought in to ensure learners receive the personalized supports they need to succeed. Additionally, using free or inexpensive apps, Tyson's Upward Academy team developed online digital literacy tutorials in the company's top 10 languages to support learners accessing online courses.
"Every plant has different needs we must figure out how to meet, but it is well worth our investment. 90% of our workforce are frontline workers, and 60% or more are immigrants and refugees, and a majority join us without digital literacy skills. Without our supports, a team member's first phases of digital literacy are often their last, as steps such as understanding the English-language keyboard, connecting to WIFI, and developing a secure password are obscure and complicated." — Donna Davis, Senior Manager, Upward Program and Student Success
Tyson plants are predominantly located in rural areas with limited labor pools, which means Tyson relies on developing and promoting talent internally. As automation and digital technologies change the nature of work, Tyson is committed to developing the digital fluency of team members. Beyond Upward Academy, Tyson team members also now have additional upskilling opportunities through a new career advancement program, Upward Pathways. It is also sharing effective practices and strategizing with other employers on how to make effective investments in the skills and digital resilience of their employees.
"Employers, and especially small ones, are scrambling to figure out how to support their employees with their technology inclusion and digital skill needs. Tyson is eager to share our learnings with other employers, whether examples of how we've provided digital navigator services or recommendations on specific curriculum and assessments or local providers.

A Web Disk is a flexible type of application that enables users to navigate and pilot files on different types of electronic devices. Examples of these include mobile smart phones, a personal desktop, or other instruments of the same function depending on the users preference. Basically, it allows users to access the files that are stored in it virtually anywhere; it can also be used to save detached files from personal emails. Simply put, the application adds convenience for users in terms of administering the files. Adding something or deleting documents can be made as easily and directly on the server as the application is supported by various file operations. Users can create a web disk account via cPanel host.
To create a web disk account, simply log on to cPanel and scroll down the bottom. There, you will see the web disk icon and click the button. Upon doing so, the page will automatically direct you to a login page. Users will then be required to fill in information such as the user's desired username, password, directory and click the create button. Users must be reminded that the main web disk account cannot be deleted though users can always change the password if desired, anytime. In line with this, it must be noted however that passwords must be change every time a username account is change with Digest Authentication enabled.
After which, the account will shortly appear on the web disk account manager. Users are now ready to use their own Web Disk account. This will enable the user to easily drag and drop any file from the users personal desktop as if it's an extension of the personal computer. Aside from this, users can also administrate the files easily as they will on a normal computer desktop. It should be noted that users could create as much account as they will and not be limited to a single account only. When creating additional accounts, there will appear a permission tab below the directory which will ask the user to choose either read-write or read-only.
The read-write icon will enable all operations inside the directory be open for access while the read-only icon will allow user to only read and download files among the directory. Another additional features when managing the account is that users will have easier time in doing the appropriate actions they desired. For instance, they can easily manipulate the account through the actions tab with user friendly labels such as change password, delete, set read-write, disable digest authentication.
Simply click on the access web disk account tab and just choose among the available choices on which operation the user would want to use. For easy access, users can create a short cut icon by selecting the tab "click here and save to desktop". The icon should now appear on the users desktop. Double clicking the icon for later on user would immediately navigate the user to the existing account.
If desired, users can always delete a web disk account simply by selecting the delete button on the corresponding link that the user wanted to remove.

Since it launched five years ago, the Ford Fusion mid-size sedan has been deemed one of the sleekest and best-looking designs in a segment that's often known for mundane styling. For 2017, all Fusions get slightly updated frontal styling, upgrades to the interior, and a host of advanced electronic safety-system options.
The 2017 Ford Fusion blends enduring good looks, a wide variety of powertrains, impressive interior space and comfort along with all the latest electronic safety systems and a few design upgrades.
Those changes apply equally to the 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid and its sibling, the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid.
We give the Fusion Hybrid and Energi an overall score of 8.0, with points for its pretty shape, its high efficiency, and its friendly handling. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
The hybrid Fusion competes with established hybrid versions of the Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Toyota Camry, along with the more recent Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and a second-generation Honda Accord Hybrid coming for 2017 after that model skipped the 2016 model year.
For more detail on the gasoline versions of this mid-size sedan, see our review of the 2017 Ford Fusion.
Fusion Hybrid styling
The Fusion's racy fastback shape starts with a large oblong grille opening and slants down to a tail that could almost be a hatchback—but isn't. For 2017, the grille is wider and crisper, and headlights are now LEDs. The Fusion tends to look better in darker shades that play up its racy lines, whereas light colors make it look heavier and thicker through the middle.
Inside, Ford's "all-glass" instrument cluster lets drivers configure the variety of graphic displays and data that they prefer. Thankfully, Ford has retained old-style knobs for controls like climate adjustment and radio volume that are frequently used. Other controls are operated via capacitive touch-sensitive buttons, which can prove frustrating until you learn their quirks. But the controversial MyFord Touch voice and touch input systems have been replaced by an all-new Sync3 system that has much plainer graphics but faster and more accurate responses.
Both hybrid Fusion models provide decent interior volume, although that descending fastback roofline can hurt rear head room—especially when the optional sunroof is fitted. The seats are well-shaped and comfortable, with a recycled synthetic material covering base-model Hybrid seats. Despite wheel wells that push front passengers' feet toward the center of the car, there's ample knee room for four 6-foot adults.
For 2017, the console has been reconfigured with a rotary drive selector knob that frees up space for more storage, as well as for cupholders sited in what Ford calls a more ergonomic manner.
Fusion Hybrid performance and fuel economy
For the pair of hybrids, the main change is improvements to Ford's control software (along with minor changes to the electric motors) that the company says will improve driving response. The goal is to make the hybrids feel more like conventional cars from behind the wheel, with engine responses that more closely correspond to changes to road speed.
Both hybrid models swap out the gasoline-only powertrain of the conventional Fusion for a smaller engine and a hybrid system that uses two electric motors. The Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid adds a larger battery pack that can be plugged into the wall to recharge, for a rated electric range of 19 miles.
The two hybrid Fusions share the same 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, mated to a two-motor hybrid system that substitutes for a transmission and operates like an electrified version of a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The lithium-ion battery pack is located in the trunk, with that of the plug-in hybrid Energi model being larger and higher-capacity. The Energi has a 3.3-kilowatt charger that will recharge a fully depleted battery pack in 3 to 4 hours through a door in the left front fender that covers the charging port. That door is just about the only way to tell an Energi from a regular hybrid Fusion, if you don't read the badges.
The Fusion Hybrid is now rated at 44 mpg city, 41 highway, 42 combined, a respectable number but notably below that of the new Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, which gets a 47-mpg combined rating. The plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi is now rated at 38 mpg combined (88 MPGe efficiency, with 19 miles of electric range), not quite as good as the 40 mpg combined, 99 MPGe, and 27 miles of electric range for the new Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid. It's also notably inferior to the latest Chevy Volt's 42 mpg combined and 53 miles of electric range.
Good handing has always been a Fusion benefit, and the hybrids hold the road well, though they're notably heavier and less lithe in corners when you drive them back to back with the gasoline models. They're better on the road than any of their hybrid competitors, though we'd fix the low-geared steering, which requires more turning than we expected to shuffle the Fusion through a series of back-and-forth turns. Ford also has some of the best regenerative braking in the business; transitions between regenerative and friction brakes are largely seamless.
On the road, well-isolated engines and a low noise level even when they're running at maximum speed mean the two hybrid Fusions are smooth and quiet inside. Ford gets special credit for managing to keep the noise from their low-rolling-resistance tires down, while the ride stays firm but doesn't jar. Ford's active noise cancellation, used in the C-Max hybrids as well, sends anti-noise through door speakers to cancel some of the frequencies that sound like the car is straining.
The Fusion line receives good, if not top-of-the-list safety ratings. The NHTSA gives the Fusion five stars (the highest rating) for overall safety, as well as five for frontal crash. Its frontal crash and rollover, however, only rate four stars. Meanwhile, the IIHS gives the Fusion its highest "Good" rating in all categories, making it a Top Safety Pick when equipped with automatic emergency braking.
The Fusion Hybrid comes in several trim levels: the base S, the mid-level SE, and high-end Titanium, and the new top-of-the-line Platinum. The Fusion Energi is offered in SE, Titanium, and Platinum trim levels. The Fusion Hybrid starts around $26,000, and the Fusion Energi around $34,000. Note that the highest-end Fusion Platinum Energi, however, starts at $42,000 and can rise somewhat from there.
Options on the Fusion's long list can add up quickly. New for 2017 are a suite of electronic active-safety systems that include adaptive cruise control that works down to a full stop and back up to speed; an active lane control system that expands on the previous lane-departure warning; pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection; driver alerts for drowsiness; and an enhanced Park Assist that now offers perpendicular as well as parallel parking. Other options are remote starting, leather seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, and that space-stealing sunroof.
The 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid S base model starts at just $26,000, which makes it a frugal buyer's sweet deal—and there may be incentives these days too—but options can cause the price to soar quickly.
The 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid and its plug-in Energi sibling continue to offer stunning fastback looks, good handling, and good gas mileage. Now in their fifth year, the hybrid pair has moved past Ford's embarrassing reduction in fuel-economy numbers, so buyers should find their real-world mileage roughly matches the ratings. But the Fusions are no longer at the top of the heap, with a new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and its Kia Optima counterpart coming in with higher ratings and now plug-in versions as well. One of our favorites, the Honda Accord Hybrid, took a hiatus last year but is expected back this year with a new and even more fuel-efficient second-generation hybrid system. The excellent new Chevy Malibu Hybrid uses technology adapted from the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid to deliver a whopping 47 mpg combined, and the Volt itself gets 42 mpg when running on gasoline but delivers 53 miles of all-electric range—far surpassing the Fusion Energi's 19 miles. The Fusion's a five-passenger sedan, however, while the Volt's a compact hatchback that really only holds four for any length of time. Finally, the Toyota Camry Hybrid soldiers on as the initial entrant in the segment, with numbers that aren't quite as good as Ford's but the legendary Toyota reputation for reliability.
The 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid remains one of the best-looking family sedans in the segment, with a quiet ride and excellent fuel economy, plus a plug-in option—but prices mount quickly.

Boba Brew-Bubble Tea and Smoothies
Address: Morgan Street Food Hall
411 West Morgan St.
A great place for authentic Bubble Tea and healthy Smoothies
Our concept started with a love of smoothies, a passion to share that with friends and family, and coupled with an undying entrepreneurial spirit. As time went on, more and more people would ask for recipes, advice and so on and we had the idea that maybe we should open a shop. In our search for suppliers and locations and everything else involved in opening up a shop, we stumbled across Bubble Tea and instantly fell in love! But it was really hard to find and at that moment we knew what we had to do: We had to add Bubble Tea to our concept and Boba Brew was born.
We want Boba Brew to be a place that is known for its fun and creativity, while balancing that with healthy, nutritious drink options for today's active lifestyles.
The sky's the limit when it comes to fun and creative drink ideas, and we will be exploring it all through monthly and seasonal menu additions as well as "test flavors" through out the year.
All fun aside we know it's ultimately the quality of the product that counts. Here at Boba Brew, we use authentically sourced, award winning Boba Tea products from Taiwan; the birth place of Bubble Tea.
Our smoothies are no exception. We offer flavors from fun to traditional favorites. All of our smoothies are non-GMO. Our fruit and veggie smoothies are 100% crushed fruit and vegetables with no added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners.

Bosetti Art Tile
Address: 1201 W. Lenoir St. Raleigh, NC
Home Improvement, Miscellaneous
Create meaningful and beautiful spaces with custom tile and decorative home goods that bring the outdoors in. Whether you're a bird watcher, a naturalist, or avid gardener, Bosetti Art Tile communicates your "joie de vivre" with cheerful imagery and design.
"Flora and fauna, the human form, and most of all, my clients inspire me. They can choose from images and color schemes from the website or give me a list of items they'd like included in their mural, telling me colors to include or exclude. Creating from a list of images I would never put together, in colors I wouldn't naturally go to allows my creativity to open wide. I can be inclusive to not only the images desired but to the feelings they inspire.
I am influenced by the Art Nouveau movement. I love the idea of uniting organic and geometric forms into designs that flow and follow the spirit of Art Nouveau to bring beauty to every day. My tiles can be found in homes as wall murals, kitchen and bath backsplashes, countertops, sinks, tub and fireplace surrounds. Each hand-made, hand-glazed Bosetti Art Tile project is unique.
Using the ancient technique of cuerda seca – a cloisonné-inspired method that mimics the look of mosaic – each tile's intensely rich ceramic glaze looks so soft it begs to be touched.
Since graduating from Pratt Institute in 1982 with a BFA in sculpture, I have spent my life devoted to clay. Over the years there has been a progression from sculpting to pottery to art tile and back again. Throughout it all, I have consistently worked to distill the sensual and spiritual aspects of life into accessible design, image, and easy-to-care-for, durable artwork."

Bing vs Google
Bing is stealing share but not enough of it.
Bing is trying
I have been watching the slow emergence of Microsoft's search engine, Bing, carefully because it seemed to me to be a losing proposition. I haven't had faith in the Microsoft brand in decades because it's known for over-complexity, which always gets trumped by Apple's simplicity.
In addition, Google has owned the search engine space and its brand has always held great appeal.
But Bing is slowly making inroads, reaching an all time 17% market share last spring, while Google was down almost a point in market share (while still owning more than 66% of the market).
"Nobody Bings something. Everyone Googles it."
What's happening here, Bing?
Well, for one thing, Microsoft, as a brand, has gotten out of the way. It's all about Bing and simplicity has entered the equation.
Its name means precision and the sound, of sorts, of when you've found what you're looking for. It's not difficult to navigate in any way and, while its pages certainly are similar to Google, it has added color to the search engine space.
Major Stakes
Microsoft is continuing to invest in its search engine. It has signed a deal with Local to provide location-based product data that will replace Bing Shopping.
Google is no brand to mess with, meaning that Bing is in for a long haul to continue stealing market share. But I wouldn't be surprised if it continued its upward ascent. I just doubt it will ever pass Google in importance.
I believe it will be around for the long haul because Microsoft needs it to be a player. Yahoo will go away and die but not these guys? I think it is destined to be a minor player. Nobody Bings something. Everyone Googles it.

Hasbro's Parody Board Games Reimagine Tabletop Classics For Modern Adults
With the recent rise in popularity of adult-humor tabletop games, there's probably never been a better time to give some old-time classics a similar twist. That's exactly what Hasbro is doing with some of the most enduring board games in their roster, giving adults a chance to experience games they played as a kid in an entirely new light.
Five games, specifically, have been given the makeover: Clue, Game of Life, Mystery Date, Operation, and Sorry! Each one gets a modified title that hints at whatever twist has been added to the game, along with various modifications to the gameplay. No, this isn't a one-size-fits-all where the same change is applied to all the games. Instead, it's more thoughtful than that, with each one getting gameplay elements that really fits in nicely with the original game concept.
Below, we detail each of the games.
Clue: What Happened Last Night? Lost in Vegas – An obvious nod to the Hangover films, the game starts off with a group of friends finding one of their own missing from the hotel after a night of excessive partying. That's right, instead of figuring out the culprit in a murder-mystery, you're going to spend the game figuring out who last saw your friend, where they went, and what they are up to. Find your pal in time to make the 4PM flight home.
Clue Lost in Vegas Board Game Adult Party Game...
The Clue Lost in Vegas game is a funny adult twist on classic Clue gameplay
Game of Life: Quarter Life Crisis – Like the original, this board game will have you traveling through life, earning points along the way. Unlike it, the game burdens players with something a lot of modern folks deal with every day: crippling debt. In the game, you race against other players to be the first to pay off a $500,000 debt while dealing with modern life's hassles, such as losing access to Wi-Fi, skipping work to binge a new Netflix upload, and getting stuck with an ugly tattoo. And yes, it involves some elements pertaining to existential despair, making it perfectly suited for our modern times.
Hasbro Gaming The Game of Life: Quarter Life...
This refurbished product is tested and certified to look and work like new. The refurbishing process...
Mystery Date: Catfished – The title, pretty much, says it all. It's about online dating and the dangers of finding out the girl you've been liking, messaging, and gearing up to meet from Facebook is actually a 300-pound dude trying to figure out how to scam you for everything you've got. In the game, you race with other players to find love in the digital age, meeting absolute freaks, sabotaging your friends, and getting catfished along the way.
Botched Operation – Like the original, the game tests the player's fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by having them carefully remove "ailments" from a patient on the operating table. With this modified version, though, it gets more complicated as you'll have to perform side challenges (think physical stunts) while performing the operation.
Botched Operation Board Game for Adults Electronic...
For ages 12 years and up
Sorry! Not Sorry – It plays similar to the original board game, albeit with a new deck of cards called "Not Sorry," which gives the game a "Have you ever?" twist, only allowing players to proceed moving their tokens once they admit to a potentially embarassing secret.
