After some unfavorable experiences, I was looking to find a new dentist to help me with my problems. By chance I happened upon your name and you were very close to my home.
I called and set up an appointment. Your staff welcomed me like they had known me for years. Everyone from the front desk to the technicians were so caring and thoughtful.
I explained to you what I wanted and after an examination you suggested what you thought was best and needed. What I experienced next was quite a bit of work on my mouth. I have had several dentists through the years. But, I have never experienced a gentler and more caring one as you. Your wok was precise. I felt like you really cared and enjoyed seeing the end results as much as I did.
You have given me a new, confident, and beautiful smile. Something that I never had before. I can hold my head up high and look others straight in the face when I talk. I can smile and laugh like the happy person I truly am on the inside.
Thank you so very, very much. I have and will continue to highly recommend you and your staff to many, especially those with young children. Thank you again.
I have been going to Dr. Wasco since he began his practice. His knowledge and expertise of his profession is unsurpassed. I have never experienced an unpleasant visit. He surrounds himself with competent assistants which makes things even better. I have "overheard" conversations he has had with very young children while treating them. You will be "hard pressed" to find anyone better. Erase your mental fears of a dental visit and make your next visit a pleasant one. Go see Doc Wasco.
I went in for a routine cleaning and was late due to the snow on the roads about 15 minutes. I had called and ahead and notified them and Dr. Wasco's staff got me right and taken care of. During my appointment I could hear a little girl who was about 6 years old who was obviously a little scared about being at the dentist but Dr. Wasco and his staff were able to calm her down and get her fixed up. As usual, everyone was professional, courteous, and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend!

Scientists Have No Clue What Caused the Brightest Supernova Ever Discovered
Alex Chavers·
Artist impression of supernova as seen from nearby exoplanet
About 3.8 billion light years away sits a record-busting exploding star. Dubbed ASASSN-15lh, it shined more than twice as bright as the previous record holder at peak intensity. The massive blast is believed to be a perfect example of a "superluminous supernova."
'Superluminous supernova' are a rare class of explosions created by certain stars. What causes them? Scientists are stumped. Subo Dong, who led an international team of astronomers described the explosion as "the most powerful supernova discovered in human history." He added, "the explosion mechanism and power source remain shrouded in mystery because all known theories meet serious challenges in explaining the immense amount of energy ASASSN-15lh has radiated."
Let me try to put in perspective how insanely bright this explosion was. At its brightest, it shined 570 billion times brighter than the Sun. That's nuts, but it gets even crazier. It shined 20 times brighter than the entire Milky Way galaxy. That's more than 100 billion stars!
In June 2015, twin telescopes in Cerro Tololo, Chile were busy sweeping the sky as part of the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). The pair of telescopes are armed with 14-centimeter diameter lenses and scan the skies for objects that suddenly appear. They soon spotted the object that would become ASASSN-15lh.
The pair of 14-centimeter telescopes that made the first observation.
Dong and his fellow astronomers sprang into action. They alerted observatories across the world in a bid to gather as much information about the supernova as possible. Even NASA's Swift satellite joined in. Observatories on the ground and in space continue to observe ASASSN-15lh to this day.
These follow-up observations are telling astronomers a couple of things about this massive star explosion. Some features point to ASASSN-15lh being a 'hydrogen-poor' (Type I) superluminous supernova. The rate of temperature decrease and radius expansion also lines up with known Type I superluminous supernova.
That's where the similarities appear to stop. ASASSN-15lh shocks astronomers by being much brighter and hotter than previous supernova before it. It's home galaxy also has astronomers scratching their heads. Every Type I superluminous supernova discovered so far comes from galaxies that are smaller than the Milky Way. But ASASSN-15lh appears to originate in a galaxy that is bigger and brighter than the Milky Way.
Point the Hubble
The Hubble Space Telescope may be able to shed some light on the many questions surrounding ASASSN-15lh. Later this year, Hubble will train its sophisticated instruments on the supernova and give Dong and his fellow astronomers the most detailed look yet at what's left of ASASSN-15lh's explosion.
One question the astronomers hope to clear up is exactly where the supernova explosion is located. It appears to be in a bigger and brighter galaxy than the Milky Way. But it could also sit in a small, dimmer neighboring galaxy.
There's no good theory
Astronomers are at a loss. One theory points to neutron stars called magnetars. They are leftover cores of massive, exploded stars and could boost the brightness of superluminous supernova. But even this scenario doesn't explain the sheer amount of energy seen in ASASSN-15lh.
"The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh," says Dong. "ASASSN-15lh may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova, and we look forward to plenty more of both in the years ahead."
Dong and his colleagues will just have to wait and see what the Hubble makes of the gigantic explosion.

Rumor: Tegra 4 Powered Chromebook Coming Soon?
Chromebooks have been in the news a lot lately. Last week, HP announced their entrance into the Chromebook game with the HP Pavilion Chromebook. Yesterday, a video surfaced on YouTube showing off a touch screen Chromebook with a 2560x1700 resolution. Now a new Chromebook has surfaced, this one is code named "Puppy" and is said to feature NVIDIA's new Tegra 4 processor.
The Tegra 4 processor features 4 ARM Cortex A-15 processors, along with 72 graphic cores. It also LTE embedded on the chip, along with better camera functionality. But that doesn't mean we'll see a Chromebook with LTE or a nice camera on it. Although it would be really nice to see that.
For those that aren't familiar with Chromebooks or Chrome OS. This is Google's desktop Operating System that is completely cloud-based and basically just a browser. Which is why its called Chrome OS. So far we've seen Chromebooks come from HP, Acer, Samsung, and Lenovo. With HP and Lenovo just joining the Chrome OS side of things within the past month or so. It's great to see more manufacturers betting on Chrome OS. And even better to see more processor makers getting their chips in Chromebooks. We already have Samsung's Exynos 5250 processor in the Samsung Chromebook. The Exynos 5250 is a dual-core ARM-based processor. Now there are a few disadvantages to having a ARM-based processor in a Chromebook. The biggest one being no Netflix support.
Now that we are seeing more Chromebooks coming with ARM-based chips, that's if this Chromebook is indeed real, we should see more support for ARM-based Chromebooks from the Chrome team. Which is something we desperately need. I'm expecting that if this Tegra 4-based Chromebook is real, that it's an ASUS built and manufactured Chromebook. Since ASUS is a big supporter of the Tegra chips, and have put them in just about every high-end tablet they've made.
Now remember this is just a rumor, and could be completely false. So we are urging you to take this with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, would you buy a Tegra 4 Chromebook? I know I'd definitely give it some thought. But I really like my Samsung Chromebook. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Universal K-series Engine Fuel Rail.
Allows you to tuck your fuel lines.
1/8th npt port for fuel pressure gauge.
Ninja Black for the stealthy look.
Hybrid Racing fuel rails are made from 6061 aluminum with T6 heat treatment and features a durable anodized finish with a laser etched logo ensuring that your engine bay looks fresh and your engine stays fed!
Each rail includes a 1/8" NPT hole that allow you to mount a fuel pressure gauge directly to your fuel rail. This puts the fuel pressure gauge in a spot that's easily visible, so you don't have to poke around in the engine bay just to see if you have fuel pressure. All of the ports can accept a -8 ORB fitting in the inlet(s) and outlet allowing you to run either -6 or -8 AN fuel lines.
The other detail that should stand out is the option for plugging the side inlet and outlet to allow you to run your fuel line to a centrally located -8 ORB fitting. This is positioned so that the fuel line can pass between the middle two cylinder intake runners (depending on your intake manifold.) This is an excellent option for anyone looking to tuck their wires and lines.
What intake manifolds is this rail compatible with?
This rail has been shown to mount to the PRB, RBC, and RBB intake manifolds without needing any modifications. Any aftermarket intake manifolds that share the same fuel rail mounting points as the PRB, RBC, or RBB should also accept this rail.

In mathematics, informally speaking, Euclid's orchard is an array of one-dimensional "trees" of unit height planted at the lattice points in one quadrant of a square lattice. More formally, Euclid's orchard is the set of line segments from  to , where  and  are positive integers.

The trees visible from the origin are those at lattice points , where  and  are coprime, i.e., where the fraction  is in reduced form. The name Euclid's orchard is derived from the Euclidean algorithm.

If the orchard is projected relative to the origin onto the plane  (or, equivalently, drawn in perspective from a viewpoint at the origin) the tops of the trees form a graph of Thomae's function. The point  projects to

The solution to the Basel problem can be used to show that the proportion of points in the  grid that have trees on them is approximately  and that the error of this approximation goes to zero in the limit as  goes to infinity.

The Upper Castle
Oldest drawing of the Upper Castle
Greiz was first mentioned in an official document dated 1209, which listed castellans of Greiz. It is assumed that the fortress in Greiz was built much earlier.
One piece of evidence of this is the double chapel that was rediscovered during ongoing restoration work and the dendrochronological dating indicating 1188.
This extraordinarily significant find sheds completely new light on the importance of the fortress in Greiz in the 12th century.
There are only two other double chapels in Thuringia. The medieval great hall, which was rededicated and remodelled to become the castle church in the 18th century, was connected to the Romanesque double chapel. The royal box with its precious stucco work was linked to the former castle church by a staircase.
Most of the rooms in the Upper Castle feature stucco work.
The Upper Castle reveals architectural features from the Romanesque to the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and even Rococo periods. Until 1809, the Upper Castle, apart from a short interval, was always the residence for lords, counts and the first Prince Heinrich XI of the Reuss Older Line, who was able to reunite the territory in 1768.
Heinrich XIII of the Reuss Older Line chose the Lower Castle as his place of residence. The Upper Castle was home to the royal state government and the royal consistory from then until 11 November 1918.
The permanent exhibition entitled "From the Land of the Vogtland Reeves to the Reuss Older Line Principality" has been located in one part of the Upper Castle since 2010. It deals with the history of the reeves, the lords, the imperial counts and Reuss imperial princes as well as the small-state royal culture associated with them.
The permanent exhibition in the Upper Castle is devoted to regionally important historical events, particularly related to the small-state royal culture.
View into the foyer
The Upper Castle Museum offers a multi-media history experience for people of all ages. Surf through 800 years of computer-animated architectural history on a skateboard and collect points in the process! Wear a knight's and miner's helmet yourself!
Sit next to nobles in the sound chair and learn about table manners back then!
You can do all this in the Upper Castle Museum in the former royal capital of Greiz.
You can feel like the lords themselves and discover first hand more about the golden age and major disasters for the Reuss princes in a 3D film. Go on an interactive journey through time from 1209 until well into the 18th century in a speaking elevator.
The castle lords will personally tell you about the events in their day and the life of the reeves, counts and Reuss Older Line princes. You just need to touch them.
Discovering things for yourself is the top priority!
The Double chapel
Model of the double chapel
The Romanesque double chapel dating back to the 12th century, which was rediscovered during restoration work, is one of the outstanding features of the Upper Castle Museum. The Romanesque double chapel in Greiz provides architectural evidence for the outstanding importance of the fortress in Greiz at the end of the 12th century. These kinds of sacred buildings are extremely rare.
What is a double chapel?
A double chapel is generally described as a two-storey structure with chapel rooms located above each other. It was mainly a status symbol.
Double chapels have only been found at fortresses of Thuringian landgraves (at Landsberg, Freyburg now in Saxony-Anhalt; at Grosslohra, Eisenach now in Thuringia) or at imperial centres (Nuremberg, Cheb).
The upper chapel room (capella privata) had a groin vault. A two-storey apse bay window also protruded from the eastern outward wall.
The chancel with niches for the host opposite and the base of the vaults for the triumphal and apse arch can be seen from the lower chapel room.
The so-called royal box was installed in the lower and upper chapel rooms at a later date so that the ceiling opening between both chapels is no longer visible.
One part of the original construction of the upper chapel room (on the 1st floor) has survived. It is a simple stepped portal with a configured three-quarter pillar and tympanum with a half-figure relief and Romanesque stucco (2nd floor) as a fragment of an image of Christ in Glory.
The "The Glory Days" 3D film
An experience for the whole family
You can enjoy a 3D film in the vault of the Romanesque double chapel. It is called "The Glory Days of the Reusses" and transports you to the third dimension of Greiz history with a stereoscopic projection.
This film has been specially produced for the museums in the castle town and royal capital of Greiz. It completes the special museum experience with other surprises.

Editorial: Averting a resident revolt
Plan to regulate home landscaping in Palo Alto wisely pruned back
Uploaded: Sun, Jan 24, 2016, 10:50 am 4
A water conservation plan that appeared designed by bureaucrats for bureaucrats was wisely scaled back Tuesday night by a unanimous Palo Alto City Council.
Residents of Palo Alto have done more than has been asked of them to save water. Lawns have been allowed to die and replaced with drought tolerant plants, use of grey water for plant watering has become a common practice and some are even paying to purchase recycled water for irrigation.
Yet the Palo Alto city staff, acting to implement an executive order issued last April by Gov. Jerry Brown, proposed a new permitting and regulatory system for any landscaping project that would require detailed water use calculations, city review and inspections. New staff would be hired to handle the permit applications and conduct inspections of completed landscaping work, just like building inspectors do currently.
Instead of sticking with the tough default plan required by the state or the tougher alternative plan developed by a Bay Area regional water agency, the city staff recommended the most onerous and burdensome plan imaginable. Prepared by the city's Development Services Department, it would have subjected every landscaping project associated with a new building, no matter how small, to city permitting and inspections.
The state requirements wisely exempt landscaping projects of less than 2,500 square feet, reduced in the regional plan to 1,000 feet and to zero exemptions in the Palo Alto plan.
The council did the right thing by rejecting the staff recommendation and adopting the state's model ordinance for now. A far more robust community discussion on the merits of more expansive regulation is needed, especially given the changes in landscaping strategies -- such as the use of native, drought-friendly plants -- that have already been implemented by a substantial number of residents.

Cynical ploy

Cynical ploy, Evergreen Park
This is a funny editorial. This should have been published BEFORE the vote, with the weekly taking a position on the issue prior to the council decision. However since we are talking about the weekly and their known penchant of looking for brownie points. We get an " editorial" after the fact praising the council ( what a surprise there). My guess is had the council voted the other way, we would have had an editorial praising that decision.
Resident, Old Palo Alto
@cynical Did you notice in the same issue the Weekly ran an editorial criticizing the council for approving the TDR? Kinda ruins your narrative.
Resident- in the current city climate, brownie points from PASZ are worth more than brownie points from the council

Residents (a.k.a. voters, in large part) should revolt on the basis of many issues that, taken together, make it clear that PA is not run in the interest of people who live in PA.


Chicago, IL – April 17, 2019 - Stocks in this week's article are DMC Global Inc. (BOOM - Free Report)	, Legg Mason, Inc. (LM - Free Report)	, EZCORP, Inc. (EZPW - Free Report)	, Manulife Financial Corp. (MFC - Free Report)	and ACI Worldwide (ACIW - Free Report)	.
Investors generally gauge a stock's potential returns by examining earnings growth and valuation multiples. At the same time, it's important to measure the performance of such a stock relative to its industry or peers, or the appropriate benchmark.
If you see that a stock is underperforming on fundamental factors, then it would be prudent to move on and find a better alternative. However, those outperforming their respective sectors in terms of price should be selected because they stand a better chance to provide considerable returns.

Researchers in Japan have developed a method to image cancer at the single-cell level by using chemical techniques to make whole mouse bodies and organs highly transparent. Combining their preparation with existing imaging technology, they were able view cancer cells multiplying within organs, including the lungs, intestines, and liver, and traveling through the body to and from new tumors in distant locales. The work appears July 5 in Cell Reports.
"The study demonstrates the power of whole-body and whole-organ clearing and imaging with single-cell resolution," says co-corresponding author Hiroki Ueda (@hiroking1975), of the University of Tokyo and the RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center. The research team achieved single-cell resolution for cancer models that grow and metastasize in different ways. The images reveal cancerous colonies in enough detail to calculate their shapes, volumes, and distributions--characteristics critical to distinguishing between patterns of metastasis.
For example, the researchers used the platform to generate a whole-mouse scan of pancreatic cells spreading into the liver and throughout the abdomen. Another set of images shows a healthy pair of lungs being gradually colonized by cancer cells over the course of two weeks, while a third probes relationships between cancer cells and blood vessels inside the brain.
Picturing individual cancer cells during metastasis is challenging because they can be scattered all over an entire body. Locating the cancer cells relies on picking up signals from fluorescent proteins that they express, signals that must be preserved when applying tissue clearing methods in pursuit of higher resolution.
Given this difficulty, the research team, which included co-first authors postdoc Shimpei Kubota and project researcher Kei Takahashi, took a chemical mixture called CUBIC (Clear Unobstructed Brain/Body Imaging Cocktail) that they had previously developed for whole-body imaging preparation and optimized its composition for detecting and viewing cancer cells. Upon using the modified mixture to turn tissues and vital organs clear, the researchers were able to pluck out fluorescence signals and locate cancer cells in places such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines.
The new imaging protocol is already providing a clearer view of certain mysterious steps of metastasis. In particular, in order to reach a new site within the body and metastasize, a cancer cell must surf the bloodstream, entering and exiting through blood vessel walls.
"Most cancer cells are not so lucky and die during the trip," says co-corresponding author Kohei Miyazono, of the University of Tokyo, "But images obtained through the new method suggest that cells treated with TGF-beta, a protein that regulates cellular growth and differentiation in humans and is produced in increased quantities by some cancers, are far more likely to survive the journey and form malignant outposts."
With preliminary investigations already underway, the researchers say that cancer imaging and analysis using the CUBIC protocol will lead to further insight into the complexities and nuances of metastatic pathways. The technique might also shed light on single-cell processes related to other diseases or medical fields. "We believe that same strategy will be applicable to other biomedical studies such as autoimmunity and regenerative medicine, in which the single-cell events play crucial roles," says Ueda.

Aurup, Golam Mohammad Moshiuddin (2011) User Preference Extraction from Bio-Signals: An Experimental Study. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
The purpose of this study is to extract user preferences about a product from emotional responses. Literature on psychology reveals that human preferences are related to their emotions. In addition, literature on emotion recognition reveals that emotion can be extracted from physiological signals like the heart rate, skin conductance, brain signal etc. In this study, these two streams were brought together and a new approach was proposed to extract preference of users through the analysis of emotional responses from physiological signals. Brain signal (electroencephalography or EEG) was chosen in this regard for its relevance in emotion recognition literature. For the experimental study, Thought Technology's biofeedback system was used in order to capture and process the users' EEG signals while users are exposed to various images where each image represents a possible feature of a product. Experiments were performed in two phases. In the first phase, proposed method, hardware setting, and the hypothesis relating user preference and EEG values were tested on an image library. In the second phase, images relating to a product (automobile in our case) design or features were used to get preferences between competing products.
In the first phase, International Affective Picture System (IAPS) library images were used to develop experiments. This library provides a large database for emotion affecting images and is widely accepted in the emotion detection literature. Three participants and three two-image sets were used in this study. The relationship between preference and extracted values were established through graph plot and trend line analysis and effects of repetition of experiments or images were identified. Results supported that analysis of EEG signals can distinguish pleasant and unpleasant feeling about images. A maximum of 80% accuracy was obtained in establishing relationship between preference and signal values. Left frontal side of the brain provided with the best results and was utilized in the rest of the study. Possibility to use different frequency bands of EEG signal was also studied in this phase.
In the second phase of experiments, 8 image-sets relating to automobile design and features were used for a group of 11 participants. 60% of the participants responded with 70% or more accuracy. It was found that the cognitive preference of a participant was stronger than the aesthetic preference whenever there was a conflict between the two. Accuracy rate showed by participants varied with the quality of the tests; i.e. with the factors like image resolution, clarity, composition, subject, and background of images; and with the capability of the participant to identify the images properly.
Literature on brain activity reports that, for some people, the left side of the brain is more active than the right one. The opposite is true for others. The hypothesis relating preference and extracted values was corrected in this regard. The corrected hypothesis was termed the reverse hypothesis. At the beginning of phase 2 experiments, 4 experiments were developed with IAPS images to identify if the participant followed the preliminary hypothesis or the reversed one. The results showed that most participants performed better in the experiments with product images than the experiments with standard IAPS images.

Former Blue & Gold player and coach Jess Thirlby named as new England Netball Head Coach
Everyone at Team Bath is delighted at today's news that former Blue & Gold Head Coach and player Jess Thirlby has been announced as Tracey Neville's successor as England Netball Head Coach.
Thirlby, who left the Blue & Gold this summer after 20 years of outstanding service as both player and coach, takes on the role just days after the Roses won bronze at the 2019 Netball World Cup in Liverpool.
She is no stranger to the international stage having played for England and coached them at every level from U17 through to the senior squad.
Team Bath Netball Head Superleague Coach Anna Stembridge, who has worked alongside Thirlby for both club and country, says England have made a great choice.
"I am obviously absolutely delighted that Jess has been made Head Coach at such a critical point of the Roses' journey, following the gold-medal success at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the buzz and legacy of a home World Cup," said Stembridge, who was England Head Coach from 2011 to 2015.
"England will be looking to continue getting great results and building on those successes but also nurture, develop and integrate an exciting group of young, upcoming netballers into the squad. Jess certainly has the skill set and experience to meet both of those demands.
"Jess is one of my closest friends and I am absolutely super chuffed for her, as we all are at Team Bath."
Thirlby said: "It is an absolute honour and privilege to be appointed as the Vitality Roses Head Coach. I have a huge amount of respect for Tracey, the Roses and the team behind them that have led this wonderful sport to where it is today. This is a great time to be taking on the role as we head into netball's exciting next chapter. My focus will be to harness and build upon the momentum and solid foundation gained over the past four years.
"I recognise and am truly honoured that England Netball have put their faith in me to take on this pivotal role within the England programme and can't wait to get stuck in."

Sara Symington, Performance Director at England Netball, addd: "After seeing Jess's success and progression as a coach over the years, it is clear that she lives and breathes netball and has done an outstanding job at creating a positive culture at Team Bath throughout her time there. I'm sure she will do an equally brilliant job working with the Roses and we are delighted to have her on board."

Alibaba Cloud, StepStone and German Aerospace Center Launch Tianchi Competition to Address Urbanization Challenges
Global AI contest aims to attract leading data experts to create innovative and applicable solutions to manage urban growth
Munich, Germany, 11 September 2018 – Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, today announced that it will co-organize a global AI contest with StepStone, a leading online job platform, and the Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany's national center for aerospace research. Data experts from around the world will be invited to use Tianchi, Alibaba Cloud's global big data crowd intelligence platform, to develop a classification solution that improves urban data consolidation and evaluation. The entries must have practical real-life and global applications.
According to the United Nations, 68% of the world's population is expected to live in urban areas by 2050. As cities around the world try to accommodate this enormous influx, urban planners and logisticians are faced with monumental challenges to ensure the benefits of urbanization are realized by all. With the boundaries of big data technology being expanded, the successful management of urban growth can now be assisted by the consolidation of large volumes of sensor data collected by Earth observation satellites.
In the latest Tianchi competition, contestants will try to address the urbanization challenges by using datasets of several million matched image patches from European Earth observation satellites Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. The datasets will include radar and multispectral sensor data, covering 42 cities. The goal of the competition is to classify the data into 17 so called local climate zones, which will help to identify solutions for urban planners. For example, the data could potentially be used for quantifying urban heat island magnitude or mapping urban terrain.
"We are excited to partner with StepStone and DLR for our upcoming Tianchi competition. Not only it brings together leading data scientists from around the world to help solve the challenges presented by urbanization, but also an opportunity to nurture the industry's future talent," said Tony Cheng, General Manager of Alibaba Cloud Germany. "Alibaba Cloud's Tianchi competition focuses supporting leading industry talent with our AI, cloud and data technologies to help address real-world challenges. Our aim is to create a collaborative environment for solution development and sharing, so together we can provide practical answers to the problems that comes with urbanization.
"At StepStone, we help people to find a job they love. And therefore, we are constantly looking at ways to connect talented people, so they can collaborate with other leading industry peers around the world. By co-organizing this competition, we will provide an exciting opportunity for talented AI and data experts to gain international exposure, to foster their development and to help support urbanization initiatives." said Dr. Sebastian Dettmers, Managing Director at StepStone.
Prof. Xiaoxiang Zhu of DLR-IMF said, "With our advanced processing technologies we have been able to generate large amounts of co-registered observation data from the Sentinel radar and optical satellite fleet that can be used to address the challenges arising from urbanization; not just in Germany, but across the globe. We are proud to be co-organizing this Tianchi competition, where the world's leading data scientists will be using our data to create practical solutions for the future, while encouraging innovation in the German Earth observation community at the same time."
This will be the first Tianchi competition hosted in Germany. Within the current Tianchi community, there are more than 200,000 developers from 91 countries and regions. Through hosting big data competitions, Tianchi pools the wisdom of data experts from around the world and leverages the expertise of the Alibaba Cloud data scientists to develop professional solutions to help entities in different sectors address real-world challenges. An example of this is the successful KDD Cup 2017 competition, deemed the "Data Mining Olympics", in which 3,582 teams participated to develop solutions to predict the traffic flow of highway tollgates.
The contest is open for registration. For more information, please visit the Tianchi website.
Established in 2009, Alibaba Cloud (www.alibabacloud.com), the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, is among the world's top 3 IaaS providers according to Gartner , and the largest provider of public cloud services in China, according to IDC. Alibaba Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of cloud computing services to businesses worldwide, including merchants doing business on Alibaba Group marketplaces, start-ups, corporations and government organisations. Alibaba Cloud is the official Cloud Services Partner of the International Olympic Committee.

The Moral Fool
A Case for Amorality
Hans-Georg Moeller
Pub Date: July 2009
Justice, equality, and righteousness—these are some of our greatest moral convictions. Yet in times of social conflict, morals can become rigid, making religious war, ethnic cleansing, and political purges possible. Morality, therefore, can be viewed as pathology-a rhetorical, psychological, and social tool that is used and abused as a weapon.
An expert on Eastern philosophies and social systems theory, Hans-Georg Moeller questions the perceived goodness of morality and those who claim morality is inherently positive. Critiquing the ethical "fanaticism" of Western moralists, such as Immanuel Kant, Lawrence Kohlberg, John Rawls, and the utilitarians, Moeller points to the absurd fundamentalisms and impracticable prescriptions arising from definitions of good. Instead he advances a theory of "moral foolishness," or moral asceticism, extracted from the "amoral" philosophers of East Asia and such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Niklas Luhmann. The moral fool doesn't understand why ethics are necessarily good, and he isn't convinced that the moral perspective is always positive. In this way he is like most people, and Moeller defends this foolishness against ethical pathologies that support the death penalty, just wars, and even Jerry Springer's crude moral theater. Comparing and contrasting the religious philosophies of Christianity, Daoism, and Zen Buddhism, Moeller presents a persuasive argument in favor of amorality.
Moeller shows just how germane and engaging public philosophy can be. Booklist (starred review)
This is a landmark study that anyone who champions ethics and morality must confront. Very highly recommended Library Journal (starred review)
Highly recommended. Choice
Succint and savory, The Moral Fool poses a number of interesting and complex questions... By proceeding from a highly original blend of insightful Asian and Western perspetives, it is an engaging piece of work that should serve to initiate and stimulate fruitful discussion on what morality is supposed to do for us in our modern world.

TV report: Wal-Mart security guards spied on union sympathizers at Quebec store
Posted in the database on Saturday, December 03rd, 2005 @ 11:16:03 MST (1500 views)
from Times-Dispatch.com
MONTREAL (AP) -- Wal-Mart Canada on Friday denied it hired private security guards to spy on employees who supported a drive to unionize workers at one of its stores in Quebec.
Radio-Canada, CBC's French-language service, was scheduled to air a documentary later Friday in which security guards say they had been hired around the time Wal-Mart decided to close the store in Jonquiere, about 155 miles north of Quebec City.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, cited financial reasons for the closing. Union activists had claimed the Arkansas-based company was shutting them down because they nearly won the first-ever union contract from the retailer.
The closure announcement provoked angry demonstrations and bomb threats were called in against the two Canadian Wal-Mart stores in Quebec.
Wal-Mart closed the store in April, not long after the 200 workers received union accreditation, but before they could sign a collective agreement.
According to excerpts from the TV documentary, union leaders and workers sympathetic to the drive were targeted by undercover security guards. Spying on union leaders or sympathizers is illegal under the Quebec Labor Code.
One former guard said he patrolled the store in civilian clothes, watching employees. Another said the store's surveillance cameras were used to follow certain employees.
The guards said their tasks did not correspond to the normal duties of security.
Wal-Mart Canada president and CEO Mario Pilozzi denied the allegations.
"No, we wouldn't tolerate the situation you mentioned," Pilozzi told Radio-Canada. "No idea about what you're talking about."
Andrew Pelletier, a spokesman for Wal-Mart Canada headquarters in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto, also denied the allegations.
"There was absolutely no spying done; we would not support that," he told The Associated Press, adding private security guards were hired to protect its customers and employees. "Prior to the closure of that store, there was a volatile situation with the union and we wanted to make sure that safety and security were respected."

Opinion: An examination of Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma recently lost the presidential race of the ANC to Cyril Ramaphosa.
Her problematic choice in allies, constituencies and political positions in that campaign are part of
a broader narrative of the toxic and tortured path that South Africa has taken.
Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was the ninth member elected to the African National Congress'
National Executive Committee (NEC), the powerful body that recalled President Jacob Zuma.
When I first researched her in 2015, there were no books written on Dlamini-Zuma. There was a
flurry of news about the possibility of Dlamini-Zuma as the next president of the ANC and South
Africa. Reporters and analysts were beginning to debate her time as Minister of Health, Foreign
Affairs, and Home Affairs.
There was much, frequently sexist, discussion and reference to her being an ex-wife of President
Jacob Zuma. She was not being read as an intellectual, with ideas and principles of her own. As
such, I selected her as the subject of my intellectual biography submission in my History of
Africana Intellectualism course.
I concluded that Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is a leader in an ANC and an AU that are struggling to
bearup under the weight of their own contradictions and the challenges in their respective jurisdictions.
Neither will be transformed under her watch. She is, however, a pragmatic and dedicated intellectual
who has been staunch in her pursuit of both a South Africa and an Africa that is "at peace with itself"
(Dlamini-Zuma, 2013).
When I first wrote about her I had to dig for information. Since then many articles were published after
her presidential campaign began in earnest, as well as a single book, Woman in the Wings and the
Race for the Presidency, by Carien du Plessis. Yet Dlamini-Zuma's backstory remains critically untold.
She was the young South African medical student who went into exile the year before completing her
degree, and then became the Minister of Health under whom free healthcare for children under six and
pregnant women was announced. She was the young Black Consciousness activist who escaped police
capture by moving from room to room in men's university hostels and became the Minister of Foreign
Affairs who oversaw the formation of the African Union and the implementation of the African
Renaissance; the scholar who saw her history teacher humiliated because he was black and, as its
president, played a central role in drafting the final declaration of the United Nations 2001 World
Conference on Racism.
I had researched and written about her dual callings in exile – as a doctor and an activist in the ANC – and her career post-1994. One of the successes she achieved was when she pioneered and pushed through Parliament, against huge opposition, one of the most progressive pieces of anti-smoking legislation in the world.
In 2017, in stark contrast, Jacques Paauw alleged in The President's Keepers that her campaign received contributions from cigarette smuggler Adriano Mazzotti. Carl Niehaus, an unofficial spokesperson for her campaign who himself resigned from the ANC eight years ago after confessing to fraud, denied that they knew each other. The Sunday Times has photographs of them together. The ANC's Umkhonto We Sizwe Military Veterans Association and the Women's League were two of Dlamini-Zuma's most ardent sources of support. They deployed divisive, destructive and vitriolic rhetoric in doing so. She embraced their support.
When I first researched Dlamini-Zuma she was chairperson of the African Union Commission. As a country we had just lived through the first wave of the #FeesMustFall protests. Personally, as a student, a young South African and a member of the Black Student Movement at the university currently known as Rhodes, I was disillusioned and furious with the people who claimed to be my leaders. It was my last submission, maniacally written in the two weeks after the national shutdown ended. And it was honestly inspiring - to remember that the current generation of national and continental leaders had a real history of struggle and activism, instead of wielding 'struggle credentials' as a weapon to silence the youth.
Nkosazana Dlamini was the oldest of Willibrod and Rose Dlamini's eight children. Willibrod cared about education – he was a Catholic schoolteacher in KwaZulu-Natal. While he believed that it was important for all his children to be educated, Dlamini-Zuma told The Politician in 2013 that he told them that if he had to choose, the girls would be educated because inheritance traditionally goes to the oldest boy and, "Your education will not go to the eldest boy. It will be yours until you die." As Dlamini-Zuma told a gathering organised by Poplar Women on the Frontline in Gauteng, "I don't want my daughter to stay in a bad marriage for shelter and food." Dlamini-Zuma has explicitly stated that growing up in a household where "women and girls were taken seriously" had shaped her life.
It was her father who persuaded her to become a doctor. She wanted to be a lawyer. As she says, "I never dreamed as a child of being in government or in Parliament because that avenue was not open to us." She was sent to Amanzimtoti Training College where she was a prefect and a volunteer in a blood transfusion programme. A mission school that consisted of a high school, an industrial school and a teachers' training college, it already had an impressive list of alumni including Reverend John Dube (who would become the first President of the ANC), Epainette Mbeki, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and Inkosi Albert Luthuli.
Previously known as the Amanzimtoti Institute and then Adams College, it was renamed Amanzimtoti Training College by the 1953 Bantu Education Act and the teacher's training
college was shut down. Dlamini-Zuma has repeatedly described an incident of racism there that deeply affected her. She had black and white teachers, with a clear hierarchy between the two that tangibly manifested in uniform, staff rooms and crockery. A beloved black history teacher arrived in her class in tears. Dlamini-Zuma describes what he told them.
There were two staffrooms, one for Africans and one for white teachers, and they had different tea sets. But the person who was making tea was the same for both. In the African staffroom he was short of one cup but he knew in the white staffroom there were more than enough – so he used his logic in non-logical country – and went upstairs, took one of the cups, and served the teachers. When he had finished drinking a white teacher took the cup and smashed it and said he wanted to make sure it never made its way up to their tea room. He was a man we all respected, and he was humiliated because he was African.
Following her matriculation in 1967, she went to the University College of Zululand, a black institution which had only started in 1960 with 41 students, 25% of whom were female. Dlamini-Zuma attained her Bachelors in Zoology and Botany in 1971. She then registered for a degree in medicine at the black Section of the Medical School at the University of Natal. In 1976, Dlamini-Zuma was elected Vice-President of the South African Students' Organisation, the first organized expression of the Black Consciousness Movement.
Life in the ANC
In the March 1977 edition of the Southern Africa Magazine, excerpts of an interview in her capacity as Vice President of SASO appeared that were set to appear in Sechaba, the ANC's official journal. This is because Dlamini-Zuma was also a member of the ANC underground in South Africa. Dlamini travelled as part of a university 'sports team' to Swaziland. There she was recruited by Thabo Mbeki. In the Sechaba interview she says, "almost everybody who leaves the country looks for the ANC. They know where to go, they know who is going to give them the necessary skills to overthrow the regime."
In an interview conducted in the late 1980s featured in Julie Frederikse's The Unbreakable Thread: Non-racialism in South Africa¸ Dlamini-Zuma explains why she made the decision to join the ANC, having already been a part of the Black Consciousness Movement – "I think it was important for people inside the country to find something which could motivate and rally people and put confidence again in themselves as black people. But…there's a limit to which BC can take you, and you had to find the next step up because it was very clear to me from the beginning that BC was not going to bring the government down…and there was no other alternative except the ANC."
She describes her task as an underground ANC member: "They didn't want us to talk overtly – that would have been disastrous. But they did want us to influence other people that we are in contact with, those who we thought had reached a stage in BC where they wanted something else, like us." She goes on to clarify that when she speaks about meeting or joining the ANC it does not mean that "we didn't have any reservations. Even after having
spoken to them and appreciating the problems they were facing, we still felt that they were a bit slow. But we felt that to make them fast we had to actually help them: join the ANC and try and put our enthusiasm into the ANC."
Of primary concern to the BC activists that Mbeki was tasked with recruiting was the ANC's relationship with the South African Communist Party and the admission of white people into the ANC since 1969. Before she travelled to Swaziland, Dlamini recalls being warned to be careful because "'these people are known to be 'tomatoes'. And 'tomatoes' was meaning 'red', and 'red' was meaning communist I think that comes from the fact that South Africans – at least our generation – have never been allowed to know what communism is. We've been told how bad it is without being told what it is…It was ignorance and state propaganda."
Mbeki's response to these questions, according to Mark Gevisser's The Dream Deferred, was to set the students reading as he realised "this was a group of intellectually hungry students who had never had sight of either banned Marxist literature or any detailed history of the South African struggle."
Welile Nhlapo describes this process to Mark Gevisser as follows: "He let us find the answers for ourselves." Lindiwe Sisulu describes wanting to act and when seeking direction from the BC leadership being told "It's a secret." In contrast, Mbeki said: "We have got a strategy. We've got people that we have to infiltrate back into the country, we are going to have an armed struggle and the armed struggle is going to bring about liberation."
It was based on this recruitment and education in communism that Dlamini (she had yet to meet or marry Jacob Zuma) describes the attempt to "actually introduce the subject of class and an economic programme into SASO". This was seemingly successful – in 1977 she tells Sechaba that "the whole theme of the last SASO conference was the socio-economic structure of the country."
By the time of the interview, Dlamini was also in exile, having escaped South Africa in September 1976 after spending weeks avoiding capture by the police. She did so by moving from room to room in the men's hostels at the University of Natal. The nationwide riots sparked by the brutal police response to the Soweto Uprising of 16 th of June 1976 led to a severe government crackdown. Under the recently passed Internal Security Act almost every anti-apartheid leader was removed from society. When she escaped, Dlamini was the only member of the Executive of SASO not in detention.
In 2006 Dlamini-Zuma described this experience to Margie Orford and Karen Turok for their book Life and Soul: Portraits of Women who Move South Africa.
"I was on the run before I decided to go into exile. That was my transition to adult life, to
independent life, I had no idea whether I would ever come back, whether I would ever see
my family again. I was entering unknown territory. It was 1976. I was in my fifth year of
medical school, so there was just one year left to qualify as a doctor. We walked across to
Botswana; then we went to Tanzania."
As Dlamini-Zuma explained in that 1977 interview, "(I) knew if it came to the crux I would have to
leave the country. But there was no point in leaving what I had started just for a degree. Even if I passed the degree I would still suffer the same oppression. It was a feeling that to make something of an education – or anything else – there must be a complete political change."
Unmade by choice
This research, which is not part of the public knowledge about Dlamini-Zuma, demonstrated a
terrible truth about someone who, despite losing the ANC presidential race, remains a powerful
political leader in South Africa. Dlamini-Zuma became the face of a campaign associated with
the continuation of the morally bankrupt and corrupt leadership of President Jacob Zuma.
This was not necessarily her choice.
However, it was made possible by her campaign choices – to embrace the Women's League
and the MKMVA's support despite their toxic rhetoric, and their leadership by people such as
Bathabile Dlamini who has been devastatingly dismissive of the millions of people whose lives
depend on her as Minister of Social Development, and to associate herself with corrupt people
such as Carl Niehaus. Dlamini-Zuma is therefore not just one more leader who betrayed the young
Africans and South Africans she claims to represent. She betrayed the impressive, young African leader she herself once was.

Having been stalkers of Heist Chocolate on Instagram for quite some time now, we thought it was high time that we caught up with founder Mikey Lewis in his studio space (now a chocolate factory) in Meanwhile House Cardiff.
Mikey is a one man band, and where he has managed – single-handedly – to develop his business to in just 18 months is truly inspirational. His passion for chocolate is also VERY clear. A man after our own heart.
So Mikey, is this your first studio space?
Yes! I was working from home for a while but needed to expand into something bigger. Meanwhile House Cardiff has been pretty rad with it's flexibility and allowing me to put my mark on my space and transform it to a micro chocolate factory.
Cardiff is where I grew up and it's changing and expanding at such a fast pace with new independent businesses opening up all of the time. I wanted to be part of this exciting transformation. It's really awesome.
How did Heist Chocolate come to be?
My father told me he was looking to import chocolate from Russia as a side business. I looked into it and wondered if it would be possible to make his own chocolate. I bought some basic equipment and ingredients and made a makeshift chocolate bar. I showed my father but he wasn't too keen on going into the chocolate making business.
I have a major sweet tooth so I used the rest of the leftover ingredients to make some more chocolate and then I was hooked. I started playing around with wrapper designs and looking into the feasibility of starting a chocolate business. Within 12 months I was good to go… Crazy.
Heist chocolate makes from "bean to bar", instead of melting down pre-made chocolate from larger manufacturers. We make it from scratch using cocoa beans!
Every bar of Heist chocolate is designed, roasted, ground, tempered, wrapped, stamped and stitched by me. I'm also completely self funded.
What big things have you got in the pipeline?
I've got loads of ideas for new flavours and I'm looking to launch a new range of smaller bars sometime this year. My packaging also recently changed so now it features artwork by local illustrators.
I've also recently announced a collaboration with a rad coffee company, Girls Who Grind Coffee. Our resulting 'Espresso and Peanut Butter' bar will be out very soon. Keep an eye on my Instagram for more deets!
Yuuuuum. We need this on our life! Where can we get our hands on your chocolate?
You can stock up online through my website at www.heistchocolate.com. So far I've also managed to get stocked in about 20 different shops, stretching from Cardiff to Belgium! These include Queen's Bakery in Cardigan, Pen Y Lan Pantry in Cardiff, Kitchen Garden in Powys, Blake's Kitchen in Oxfordshire and Giddy Grocer in Bermondsey.
Looking back at your journey, is there any advice you would have given yourself at the beginning?
It's a cliche but you really need to crack on and do what you want to do with your life. It's that easy… Find what you love to do and keep working on it until you achieve what you want to achieve and don't be afraid to inject your personality into the things you do.
And finally, what is it that you love about Cardiff?
It's compact! Everything is within 20 minutes walk which means I have The Grazing Shed, The Early Bird, Brod, Dusty Knuckle, Cafe Cita, Penylan Pantry, Cocorico Patisserie on my doorstep. like food… A LOT.
If you do one thing today, make sure its following Mikey's amazing Instagram @heistchocolate. Secondly, buy Heist bars online via www.heistchocolate.com. Flavours include Rose & Cardamom White, Orange Marmalade and Into The Dark.
At meanwhile Creative we take a creative approach to 'meanwhile' space. We can find flexible, affordable and practical workspace for your project whether this be office space, studio space or even desk space in Cardiff. We have something for everyone!

Радионовелла (частный случай радиосериала) — одно из ранних проявлений жанра массовой культуры в радиодраматургии, предшественник современных теленовелл и телесериалов. Первые радиновеллы пользовались необычайной популярностью в Испании и странах Латинской Америки, поскольку они были совершенно аполитичны, не подрывали политическую жизнь страны и были более доступны неимущим слоям населения, не имевшим средств на покупку телевизора. Позднее художественные радионовеллы получили распространение в СССР и странах Европы, где до этого преобладали в основном музыкальные, научно-документальные, новостные и политические форматы.

В радионовелле, как частном случае радиосериала, все серии пронизаны одним сюжетом.

Примеры

В 1991 «Всесоюзный конкурс радиодраматургии» присудил премию радионовелле «Обряд инициации» из пьесы «Поздний экипаж» (автор Арбатова, Мария Ивановна). В 90-х в формате радионовеллы в российских поездах можно было слушать и французский телесериал «Элен и ребята». Немецкая волна ныне транслирует радионовеллы «Юлия на пути к магистру», которая знакомит слушателей с жизнью студентов в Германии.

The Baltimore Sun featured Tradepoint Atlantic's announcement of their 10-year agreement with Host to over see marine cargo operations at the Baltimore site.
Adam Anderson, Host's president and CEO, said the location makes Tradepoint an ideal facility for cargo owners. Industrial-zoned waterfront property is a commodity, and often, such properties lack the infrastructure that Sparrows Point offers, he said.
He said Host emphasizes efficiency but also innovation. "It's not just the cheapest place to offload the cargo or move things to point A to point B," Anderson said. But the "three to five steps in between, lining up what the chain is now, looking at what the chain could be and optimizing that," he said.

Q: ionic app not finding providers in linked package I have an ionic app and angular web app that both consume the same REST API. For initial development I had the api implementation code copied in both projects, but now I'd like to extract the api services into a linked npm package that both projects can use and import as a module. The package compiles fine but my Ionic app can't find the providers from the services module in the package.
My services package module looks like this:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ApiService } from './api.service';
import { AuthenticationService } from "./authentication.service";
import { CognitoUtil, CognitoCallback, LoggedInCallback } from "./cognito.service";
import { DocumentsService } from "./documents.service";
import { TagService } from "./tag.service";
import { UsersService } from "./users.service";
import { AwsUtil } from "./aws.service";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ApiService,
    AuthenticationService,
    CognitoUtil,
    AwsUtil,
    DocumentsService,
    TagService,
    UsersService
  ],
  providers: [
    AwsUtil,
    CognitoUtil,
    ApiService,
    AuthenticationService,
    ApiService,
    DocumentsService,
    TagService
  ]
})
export class MyAppServicesModule {

}

The index.ts file for the package looks like this:
export { MyAppServicesModule } from './myapp-services.module';

My tsconfig.json file
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2016",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "outDir": "out",
    "rootDir": "src",
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "out"
  ]
}

package.json
{
  "name": "@myapp/services",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My App services",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "test"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^8.0.19",
    "typescript": "^2.4.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/core": "^4.3.3",
    "@angular/http": "^4.3.3",
    "amazon-cognito-identity-js": "^1.19.0",
    "rxjs": "^5.4.2"
  }
}

After compiling the package I link the package
npm link

In my application code I create a link to my package
npm link @myapp/services

I then import the services module into my main app module
@NgModule({
declarations: [
    MyApp
],
imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp),
    MyAppServicesModule,
    LoginPageModule,
    DocumentsPageModule,
],
bootstrap: [IonicApp],
entryComponents: [
    MyApp
],
providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
]
})
export class AppModule {}

And in my login page I import the AuthenticationService and declare it in the constructor so it gets set by the dependency injector
import { AuthenticationService } from '@myapp/services'

@IonicPage()
@Component({
  selector: 'page-login',
  templateUrl: 'login.html',
})
export class LoginPage  {

constructor (public navCtrl: NavController,
             public navParams: NavParams,
             public authenticationService: AuthenticationService) {}

But I get the following error when trying to serve my app
typescript: src/pages/login/login.ts, line: 27
Cannot find name 'AuthenticationService'.

L26:  public navParams: NavParams,
L27:  public authenticationService: AuthenticationService) {}

I also get the same error for all references to any of the providers from the services module. I've tried listing the services in the exports section of the services module as well but that didn't fix the issue.
My ionic version
Ionic Framework: 3.2.1
Ionic App Scripts: 1.3.7
Angular Core: 4.1.0
Angular Compiler CLI: 4.1.0
Node: 7.7.1
OS Platform: macOS Sierra
Navigator Platform: MacIntel
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_5) AppleWebKit/603.2.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.1.1 Safari/603.2.4

Thanks

A: For an Ionic app. Most of the stuff in @ngModule applies to Angular too:
declarations: Make components, directives and pipes available to module that don't come from another module. You don't put services here!
imports: Bring in other Angular modules your module will need. BrowserModule, HttpModule, IonicModule etc.
entryComponents: Things like pages
providers: Your services go here, also things like StatusBar, SplashScreen, Keyboard, ionic error handler...

Well what a year. We've been in full swing creating exciting artwork and having a great time talking to everyone on our site as well as other different sites. It's nice to have people like our work as much as we like making it. We felt the need to really get the word out there about what we've been doing so posting on sites other than this one has helped gain us a large following.
To help continue getting the word out there about Neva we're releasing a comic version of the interactive app first. This is the cover page I whipped up last week and we'll let you know when the comic is available. It should be very close to the beginning of the New Year.
We hope you all have a great end to the year and an even better year in 2016.

As you may have noticed, this whip is much longer than your standard whip. That's because its purpose is to be passed around.
The Magic Flight Party Whip will not let you down even during the wildest parties. However, as it is intended for social gatherings, it would probably be best to change it after every party.
This accessory was specifically built with the Magic Flight Launch Box in mind.
