US gov't rep unhappy with WADA lobbying effort
KATOWICE, Poland (AP) — A key American delegate at the World Anti-Doping Agency meetings lashed out at the agency's director for using government money in hopes of reshaping U.S. legislation designed to fight drugs in sports.
At the WADA board meeting Thursday, Kendel Ehrlich of the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy seized on an Associated Press story from the previous day that described efforts by WADA and the International Olympic Committee to lobby for substantive changes to the bill known as the Rodchenkov Act.
The core provision would allow the federal government to go after any person or organization that tries to carry out a fraudulent doping scheme. The law would cast a wide net, covering doping fraud at pretty much any major international event with ties to Olympic sports, even if it isn't held on U.S. soil. It would not go after individual athletes caught up in the schemes.
Not long before it passed the House last month, the IOC engaged a lobbying firm, in part to discuss the bill with policymakers in Washington. WADA has been working the halls for longer, and has budgeted $250,000, with the potential for more, to keep tabs on the bill and other doping issues at the Capitol.
This was a head-scratcher to Ehrlich and a number of WADA board members who also represent their governments back home.
"What we want and ask this committee to do, through you, is to stop any such efforts," Ehrlich said. "It's just common sense. If we, as payers to you, use those funds to undermine legislation, then that's not going to be a cooperative and effective way to go forward."
The U.S. provided $2.5 million of WADA's $34.6 million budget in 2019. WADA has so far spent $10,000 for a lobbying firm to set up the meetings, plus the expenses of bringing director general Olivier Niggli and WADA's governmental relations advisor to Capitol Hill to discuss.
In Thursday's meeting, Niggli took issue with the idea that WADA was opposed to the bill, which is named after the former director of the Moscow antidoping lab who turned into a whistleblower.
"We're just trying to avoid consequences that may affect the entire system," he said.
Later, Niggli told AP that his visits have not been to scuttle the legislation.
"We don't pretend we're going to change the sovereignty of the U.S.," he said.
But Niggli made no secret that both WADA and the IOC dislike the provision that criminalizes doping conspiracies, which the shapers of the bill consider to be the most important part.
Niggli said a concern about the "extraterritorial" aspect in the criminal portion of the bill is that it could leave people and corporations operating at sports events in any country vulnerable to U.S. prosecution.
"If this happens in the U.S. and then 20 other countries do the same thing, we'd have a system that wouldn't work anymore," Niggli said.
Many U.S. corruption laws, including those used to prosecute FIFA executives in the soccer-bidding scandal, include similar extraterritorial jurisdiction as the Rodchenkov Act proposes.
The bill also includes provisions for whistleblower protection and for information sharing between law enforcement and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which played a big role in advancing the legislation. The IOC and WADA support those measures.
Meanwhile, there are other countries looking at similar laws, including Norway, whose WADA representative was among the half-dozen who spoke up against the lobbying effort.
"WADA cannot lobby against national legislation simply because WADA doesn't like it," said the agency's vice president, Linda Helleland. "It's not right that our money, money from the governments, is used to lobby against our sovereign right to make laws, in particular legislation to fight corruption and fraud."
In the end, the WADA lobbying might not have much impact on the bill.
It passed by a voice vote in the House and has bipartisan support in the Senate. Unlike recent U.S. government representatives to WADA, Ehrlich is a White House appointee, which is an indicator of the importance the administration places on the doping issue.
Ehrlich said nobody from her office was contacted before the WADA meetings in D.C. USADA officials said the same.
"I wish you'd taken advantage of the fact that you had a political authority there in the U.S.," Ehrlich said. "We're friendly. We'd like to join you" in combating drugs in sports."

redirected. You get written up. Then BAM. You're fired.
What then? Is your professional life over? Is there any hope of redeeming your professional reputation and career?
A termination is always difficult to accept, so take time to process your thoughts, and then unconditionally accept accountability for your role in what happened. Don't make excuses. By taking responsibility for what led up to the termination, you can clean up your act and leave the past behind. If you do not take responsibility for past actions, you cannot change the problem behaviors that cost you that job and they will continue to haunt you through the years.
Call the person who fired you and clear the air. Whatever you do, don't be antagonistic. Reintroduce yourself and take responsibility for what happened. Say that you appreciate that the manager had to do what was done, that you want to apologize for being such a problem, and that you learned from the experience. Be sincere.
If the manager talks to you about your transgressions, don't become defensive: you are here with a business agenda not to fight battles already lost. Instead listen, try to learn and whatever is said thank the manager for the insights. Even if the termination was unjust it doesn't matter. It is better to eat a little crow now if it will help you get back to work and make a living, and benefit you for the rest of your working life.
After you have made your apologies, explain that you are still looking for a new job. Then address what you learned and ask, "If you were asked as part of a pre- or post-employment reference check, what would you say about me? How would you describe my leaving the company? Would you say that I was fired or that I simply resigned?
Most managers will give you a break. Taking responsibility and cleaning up the past really works and is the first step in putting yourself back on a success track.
What is company policy on giving references?
Are managers allowed to give references?
What information will HR give in response to a reference request?
If this is the case, but that past manager, despite your efforts to clean up the past still insists on damning your future, tell HR. Tell them what he has said he will say about you, that he is actively striving to deny you the opportunity to put food on your table and a roof over your head.
Ask if there is anything they can do? If they "aren't sure" ask again, adding that you don't want a lawsuit, you just want to get back to work. If you have followed my advice, ninety nine times out of a hundred, someone in human resources will spike his guns.

50 Years B&D
Makeup artist from Barking awarded prestigious BAFTA scholarship
PUBLISHED: 15:30 12 September 2018 | UPDATED: 15:30 12 September 2018

A make-up artist from Barking has won a prestigious Bafta scholarship.
Alesha Ledeatte-Williams was announced today as the winner of the film body's £12,000 Prince William Scholarship, which will take her the famed Pinewood Studios to study at The Iver Make-Up Academy.
The 31-year-old studied business management marketing at Brunel University before working in education both in the UK and Japan.
Currently working part-time in a cosmetics shop and as a freelance make-up artist, she is one of eight talented Brits recognised this year for their work in film, video games and television.
"I'm overwhelmed to have been chosen for the scholarship and I think it's really important that make-up is being awarded funding as there really isn't enough out there for people wanting to study at this level," she said.
"I feel that it has cemented the path that I want to follow and being awarded this scholarship is an affirmation that I'm heading in the right direction with my career goals."
Describing herself as "really excited" to start her course, she said she hoped one day to mentor or teach others in the industry.
On top of financial aid, the eight British and three Chinese students handed the scholarships will receive one-on-one mentoring from BAFTA members, award-winners and nominees, as well as free access to the film body's events.
The funds, handed to "talented individuals in financial need", aim to promote "cross-cultural collaboration".
The new scholars will be welcomed at a reception at BAFTA headquarters in Piccadilly on Monday, attended by industry figures and supporters.
"Over the years we have seen the BAFTA Scholarships programme evolve into a truly global initiative," said the group's chief executive, Amanda Berry.
"Becoming a BAFTA scholar offers incredible opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration as well as giving this talented group of people every possible chance to succeed in the film, games and television industries."
Josh Berger, president and managing director of Warner Bros. UK, Ireland and Spain, who support the Prince William Scholarships, said the film giant was "proud" to watch students "pursue their passion".

ALLENTOWN ACHIEVES MAXIMUM MUNICIPAL EQUALITY RATING
The City of Allentown has earned a maximum 100-point score in the 2020 Municipality Equality Index (MEI) from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. It marks the fourth consecutive year of that achievement.
The MEI examines how inclusive municipal laws, policies and services are of LGBTQ people who live and work there. Cities are rated based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and the city leadership's public position on equality.
"Allentown has worked hard to be recognized as an inclusive community," said Mayor Ray O'Connell. "What we have achieved over the years on the MEI scorecard is a result of that hard work."
In all the MEI surveys 506 cities. It includes among other things the country's 200 largest cities, the five largest cities or municipalities in each state and all 50 state capitals. In Pennsylvania, only Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and State College joined Allentown with scores of 100 based on 49 different criteria. The average score for Pennsylvania cities was 90. The national average score is 64.

Monsanto: 'The jury got it wrong' in cancer lawsuit
After a jury awarded a man $289 million in damages for cancer he says Monsanto caused, the pesticide company is pushing back on the narrative that its products endanger public health.
Monsanto may have lost in a California courtroom, but it's still arguing in the court of public opinion.
The company, which manufactures pesticides such as RoundUp, is facing tough questions after a jury awarded damages to a man who says its products gave him cancer.
CNN reported:
San Francisco jurors just ruled that Roundup, the most popular weedkiller in the world, gave a former school groundskeeper terminal cancer.
So they awarded him $289 million in damages — mostly to punish the agricultural company Monsanto.
Dewayne Johnson's victory Friday could set a massive precedent for thousands of other cases claiming Monsanto's famous herbicide causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Johnson's case was the first to go to trial because doctors said he was near death. And in California, dying plaintiffs can be granted expedited trials.
The company faces more trials involving other plaintiffs.
CNN continued:
Since then, hundreds more plaintiffs — including cancer patients, their spouses or their estates — have also sued Monsanto, making similar claims.


The Mirai is ready for sale in Japan first on December 15, and the Toyota Motor Corp is planning to launch the first fuel cell car in the next month to imitate the success of Prius hybrid with the vehicle by replacing the consumption of gasoline with the hydrogen. The Mirai (the Japanese Word that means future) is a four seater sedan that will be introduced for sale in the four cities of Japan on 15th December.
In the United States and Europe, the car will be offered for the sale in the fourth quarter of 2015. The famous automaker of the world is ready to unveil the car in the California and Tokyo at the same time.
The "green car" fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) consume electricity by assimilating hydrogen fuel and oxygen in the air, a unique technology used in the Apollo moon project in the 1960s. The Managing Officer of Toyota Satoshi Ogiso states that the recent technology can change the world. The cost of the Mirai will be 6.7 million yen that are equal to $57,460 without taxes in the Japan. The subsidy of 2.02 million yen on the FCV purchases is announced on the Tuesday. Its cost will be $57,500 in the United States, but the price can be dropped to $45,000 after the effects of federal and state incentives.
Toyota has decided to make 700 global sales in the upcoming year due to the scarcity of hydrogen fuel stations. They are expecting the 3,000 cumulative U.S. sales at the end of 2017. The chairman of Toyota hopes to increase the sales up to tens of thousands in the 2020s. The Honda Motor Co divulged the pre-production version of FCV in Tokyo, but there is no sales target yet. It is a unique thought of the Toyota Motor Corp, because they want to replicate the success of the Prius hybrid with the hydrogen running vehicle. It is great news for the users, because it is a great replacement to deal with the scarcity and dangers of gasoline. The expected sales volume in the United States for the next year is 200, and the volume will be increased up to 3,000 in the 2017.
According to the anticipations of the experts of Toyota, the maximum people will go for the three-year lease at $499 per month. The fuel cell vehicle uses electricity from the hydrogen and oxygen cell combination and as a result, the water vapors will be released. Unfortunately, there are very few hydrogen fuel stations all over the world, and it is a biggest challenge for the car makers. In order to solve this problem, the Toyota is looking to invest in the fuel stations in California and Northeastern United States. California has promised for the $200 million in the next 10 years to construct 100 stations. High prices and scarcity of oil is the major concern for both governments and customers. Climate warming tailpipe emission is another problem pushing the automakers to develop vehicles that can run without or with very little gasoline to cut down the use of gasoline.


Lakeside Apartments in Yuan Ching Road in District 22 will be relaunched for collective sale on January 30, said the exclusive marketing agent SLP International.
The Collective Sales Committee of Lakeside Apartments has also proposed to cut the reserve price from $240 million to $205 million.
70 per cent of the owners of the 120-unit development, have consented to reducing the price, shy of the 80 per cent required. Lakeside apartment is another development within the red-hot Jurong Lake District area. Lakeside Apartment was among the few properties within Lake District area to join the en-bloc frenzy last year.
Lakeside Apartment sits on 134,176 sq ft site and offers an excellent redevelopment opportunity for developers, as it is strategically located within the red hot Jurong Lake District, which ha been identified as Singapore's second Central Business District. The site is also located near several malls such as IMM and Jem, Lakeside Towers is also close to Nanyang Technological University and River Valley High School.
Lakeside apartment comprises of two tower blocks of 15 storeys, with 58 years left on its 99-year lease. If the collective sale is successfully concluded, the owners of the red-hot Jurong Lake District property stand to pocket at least $2 million each.
Developers however have to be mindful that they will have to pay an enhancement premium of $55.56 million for both the lease top-up and the intensification of land use from the current baseline of 24,721 sq m, or an equivalent gross plot ratio of 1.98.
According to Mr Nicholas Mak the executive director of ZACD Group (the parent company of SLP International), the land of Lakeside Apartments was previously managed by JTC but has since been handed over to strata title unit owners.
The blueprint for the Jurong Lake District was first unveiled by the Government in the 2008 Master Plan when the space was earmarked as a new growth area.
There is now some 160 hectares of land within the red-hot Jurong Lake District area that is yet to be developed within the 360-hectare district.
More than 40 per cent of the mixed-use business area is set aside for residential purposes. Developments for the area are centered around the Jurong East MRT station. With established businesses around the MRT station – like the International business park, IMM (a major shopping mall), along with other new shopping malls, a hospital, educational hubs, high rise offices and residential units – Jurong Lake District is looking very credible as a regional centre even without the HSR project.
According to the URA's Masterplan, most of the developments will be centered around Jurong Gateway for a start. Jurong Gateway is also most likely to be the crown jewel in the Jurong Lake District vicinity. With a catchment consumer base of Jurong East HDB dwellers and the Lakeside village (a designated dining place) the Jurong Lake District is likely to be developed fast and find success quickly.
Good tenants at Lakeside village may bring people closer to enjoying the lakeside. Lakeside village is connected via bridges to Japanese Garden and Chinese Garden, bringing lakeside enjoyment to the residents staying nearby.
Jurong Gateway project which includes developments along Yuan Ching Road are yet to be developed, but once this area develops with waterfront hotels, it would revitalize the area and possibly lead the Jurong Lake District to become a reality much sooner – in 5 – 7 years time. Some HDB flats around Ho Ching road area in the Jurong Lake District are built in 1972 and are ripe for selective en-bloc redevelopment, at 42 years old.
Besides, the stakeholders in the red-hot Jurong Lake District area are also expected to get a boost from the announcement of the seventh MRT line – the Jurong Region Line.
The new line will serve the Jurong area and the western part of Singapore and is expected to lift the fortunes of not just the properties in the Jurong Lake District area, but also the real estate in Boon Lay and Choa Chu Kang.
The Jurong Region Line will be 24km long with 24 stations, and will run above-ground. It will open in three phases, starting from 2026. The Jurong Region Line will give commuters route choices especially for stakeholders in the Jurong Gatewayproject . For example, the two interchange stations at Choa Chu Kang and Boon Lay will connect the North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL), giving commuters alternative travel routes.
So what's driving the interest in the red-hot Jurong Lake District area is the successful transformation resulting from the Jurong Gateway initiative. Furthermore, the Malaysian Government has also recently confirmed that the High-Speed Rail project between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is not permanently scrapped – but only postponed. The HSR project, when it takes off, will only be a nice bonus to the buyers of property in that area.
The tender for Lakeside Apartments will close on February 27.

Argentina ensured there will remain South American representation at the FIFA Futsal World Cup Colombia 2016 on the final day as they coasted into the last four with a 5-0 win over Egypt.
Egypt struggled to get any kind of foothold in the first half as Argentina had the North Africans pinned back, but they struggled to register anything meaningful on Gamal Abdelnaser's goal. The breakthrough was coming, though.
Having completely outplayed the Egyptians in the first ten minutes, they got the rewards the statistics showed they deserved, with Pablo Taborda slotting in from a corner. While this setback set fire to the three-time African champions' attacking desires, it was not long until they were two down.
This time it was Damian Stazzone whose name got on the scoresheet, seeing his free-kick cannon in off captain Mizo. Ibrahim Eika, via a fine ball from the unfortunate Pharaohs talisman, forced Nicolas Sarmiento into a smart stop while one-on-one, and although pace and directness became more infused in Egypt's game, end product was not.
And after the break Argentina charged clear and out of sight, again with another quick-fire double. This time it was Santiago Basile who capped off a delightful passing move before Leandro Cuzzolino tapped in simply from a corner.
The game was already a foregone conclusion when Gerardo Battistoni capped off the rout after good work from Alan Brandi, teeing up a semi-final with either Azerbaijan or Portugal.

Transforming the way medical care is provided in the context of a serious illness or life-threatening situation requires changes in culture and norms within communities as well as healthcare systems, and practitioners. As consumers learn about the importance of preparing ahead of time for medical decision-making, they are more likely to bring care planning questions and concerns to their medical providers and have discussions with their loved ones.
To celebrate National Healthcare Decisions Day we're offering a 50-percent discount from now until April 16 at 11:59 PM PST on any of our advanced care planning courses, designed to help you effectively guide patients and families in this vital work!
To get the discount, register today for any of the following courses using the promo code ADVANCECARESP.
The Coalition for Compassionate Care of California in partnership with The California State University Institute for Palliative Care created Building Engagement with Advance Care Planning to promulgate strategies, methods, and tools to engage the public and healthcare organizations effectively in advance care planning.
Applying health behavior change theory to advance care planning provides a framework for clarifying the goals of public education and engagement. As individuals move through a behavior continuum from initial unawareness of the need for action through steps leading to the desired action their motivation for participating in advance care planning evolves. Developing outreach and education strategies that align with the stages of precontemplation all the way through the action stage of completing an advance directive and/or discussing their care preferences. The course delves into these stages and describes strategies that best align with an individual's willingness to engage. The course describes activities that organizations can employ to prompt community engagement with advance care planning.
In order to transform the delivery of care to optimize advance care planning, organizations need reliable processes and systems including supportive leaders, policies and clinical protocols, documentation systems, staff training, patient and family education, and quality metrics. The course presents effective strategies to integrate advance care planning in a healthcare organization or system.

Soyfoods can easily be swapped into almost any meal to add nutrients and soy-based protein for a heart-healthy meat alternative to your favorite recipe. Tofu is just one example of a soyfood that is versatile enough to be substituted into your favorite meat dish. You can even use tofu to replace the ricotta in your lasagna or the cream in your pumkin soup!
Try these delicious, easy ideas for swapping nutricious, heart-healthy soyfoods into your weekly menus.
Tofu can be added to or substituted for meat in a variety of dishes. Ready-to-eat, marinated tofu is often available in the refrigerated section of your grocery store and is great for easy-to-prepare meals.
Try freezing marinated tofu before cooking to enhance the flavors, making it an excellent addition to chili, pot pies and lasagna.
Silken, soft and pourable tofu is a great swap to use in mousse, pie, pudding, or even soup.
Use firm or extra-firm tofu instead of meat for baking, grilling, sauteing, or frying. Using a tofu press to squeeze the moisture out of a block of tofu will give it a firmer, meatier texture.
Keeping soy-based meat alternatives in your pantry or freezer is a perfect way to solve the inevitable "what's for dinner?" quandary, allowing for a quick, easy meal that is both healthy and delicious.
Soy crumbles are a great substitute for your favorite chili, spaghetti sauce, or tacos, and they contain 75% less fat than regular ground beef crumbles.
Veggie burgers are offered in a wide variety of flavors and textures. For the most meat-like, Morningstar Farms Grillers are full of classic, char-grilled burger flavor and contain 57% less fat than regular ground beef.
Soymilk easily substitutes for dairy milk in any recipe and has more protein than all other dairy milk alternatives. Containing fewer calories than both 2% and whole dairy milk, not only is soymilk a complete protein, but it is also equivalent to dairy milk in calcium, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, soymilk contains the omega-3 fatty acid ALA, which is not found in dairy milk.
Add soymilk or soy yogurt to your smoothies for a delicious heart-healthy, protein rich breakfast.
For sauces, gravies, soups and other savory dishes, plain, un-sweetened soymilk is an easy substitute.
Because soymilk is low in saturated fat, it might not set properly in gelatin- or pudding-based desserts. Adding a thickener like cornstarch will give it the consistency you are after.
If your recipe calls for a dairy product, a soy substitute will give you the same creamy texture with less saturated fat and no cholesterol. Soyfood alternatives can be found for a variety of dairy-free foods including cream cheese, yogurts and coffee creamers.
Try soy yogurt in dips, toppings, and garnishes or as an ingredient substitute in baked goods.
Have a favorite cheesecake recipe or cream cheese frosting. Soy cream cheese works well in all types of recipes, including those that involve cooking and baking.
Soy-based ice cream and frozen desserts are always a healthy alternative to dairy ice cream any time of the day!
Edamame, or young soybeans, are a fun, easy to eat snack that is delicious eaten steamed or straight from the shell. It can easily be substituted for other beans in your favorite recipes. Because it is a complete protein, edamame naturally has a higher level of protein than other bean alternatives.
Soy nut butter is a great substitute for any nut butter, often containing less saturated fat and more protein than other nut butter choices.
Because it can be used wtih just about any cooking method, tempeh is a great meat alternative. Use moist heat methods such as simmering, boiling and steaming, or dry heat methods like baking, broiling, grilling, sauteing and frying to prepare tempeh.
Mix chopped tempeh with mayonnaise, grapes and celery to create "chicken" salad.
Because miso is a fermented product, it adds a cheese-like flavor to many foods. It also acts as an emulsifier. Akamiso, also known as red miso, has a robust, meaty flavor that you get with veal or beef stock and can be used for hearty soups and gravies. Shiromiso, a "white miso" is less salty and much sweeter, making it especially good for mild-flavored fish and vegetables. Hatcho miso, strictly a pure soybean paste, is both savory-tart and mildly sweet.
To add a little zing to your veggies, use miso to create a "cheesy" sauce to go over steamed vegetables.
Instead of mustard in vinaigrette, try a little white or red miso.
Add red miso to long-cooking tomato sauce for a richer, meatier flavor.

Sweet As Syrup: Saturday Morning RPG Review
Nostalgia is something that can awaken a feeling in you, something you thought that you had lost long ago. A feel of joy, comfort, fear, rage, anger, or a combination of these emotions. Nostalgia is a powerful thing indeed, it shapes how we view things today or look back on old classics. A child born nowadays would probably watch something like Back To The Future or Ghostbusters and think that both of the films were lame.
It's partially because they didn't grow up with it, children today grow up with MineCraft and My Little Pony. It's not that they don't have refined tastes, it's just something they didn't experience fully. Even though I didn't grow up in the 80s, I still did watch a fair lot of 80s movies and cartoons. I watched the likes of Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Care Bears, Back To The Future, Star Wars Episodes 4-6, and many others.
I honestly loved all these nostalgic properties back in the day and was surprised to find a game that perfectly encapsulated all of the stuff that I used to enjoy in one affordable and very fun package. I'm talking about Saturday Morning RPG, a game that takes you back to the 80s to relive the goofy cartoon and movie culture of the day. It features so many parodies and homages to the 80s, that one might even call it an 80s classic itself! It features a soundtrack by classic rocker Vince Dicola, a retro pixelated look, and an awesome combat system inspired by Super Mario RPG. Without further adieu, allow me to discuss an Indie game that I thoroughly enjoy, the game known as Saturday Morning RPG.
The game takes place in a fictional universe heavily inspired by 80s cartoons. The game starts in the dreams of Marty Hall, a pastiche of Marty McFly from Back To The Future. Marty recieves a magical trapper keeper in his dreams that gives him untold power. Marty wakes up and soon finds that he has the book in real-life! He uses these powers to fight bullies, defeat evil organizations, and even do battle against a parody of the Decepticons. The game has an episodic nature with about 4 episodes out so far. There's a 5th episode on the way, hopefully sometime soon as I love these little mini-adventures.
The story itself is nothing to write home about, but it does bring a healthy dose of nostalgia. It's nothing too hard to follow and has the occasional branching path here or there. Certain decisions you make in one episode may also transfer into another, which is pretty cool! Don't expect a super in-depth story from this game, it's just a simple lot that gets the job done.
The game plays very similarly to Super Mario RPG, almost exactly like it in fact. The game is played in a turn-based format, in which if you time your button presses you can dish out additional damage. Likewise, you can block incoming attacks and lesson the damage you receive in return. It's a pretty good system and it's fun to use. You also have access to a magic Trapper Keeper, that lets you use scratch-and-sniff stickers to gain bonuses in battle. You have a limited amount of time to scratch the stickers before battle, it's kind of a mini-game in itself.
Now, the game itself is split up into 5 episodes and your progress between each episode transfers over. Certain actions you take in one episode transfers over to another. The 5th episode just came out after being in development hell for a bit, but it's good to finally get to play it. Keep in mind, episode 5 is very bulky when compared to the other episodes but it's still great.
Visual Stimuli
Probably the best part of the game is it's art and music. The game boasts an 8-bit art-style yet blends it with 3D backgrounds creating a style similar to Super Mario RPG (This game is a lot like it, isn't it?) The 8-bit graphics change to a 16-bit-ish style when you enter into the combat proper. The music is probably the best part of this game, in all honesty. The soundtrack was composed by legendary 80s musician Vince Dicola and it sounds great. Vince captures the 80s and old-school JRPGs immensely well and the entire track-listing is fantastic. Heck, some episodes even use entirely different soundtracks than the other episodes. The Christmas episode uses an entirely new soundtrack and it sounds great.
In Summation
If you're looking for some classic 80s cheese, look no further than this game! It takes that 80s style and runs with it, providing a lot of laughs and fun battles along the way. It's a bit on the short side but definitely worth buying. Episode 5 definitely packs more content into the game, which is much appreciated. Honestly, this game is worth getting. I also need to point out that there are physical releases for the game, but unfortunately only about 1980 copies were made. And of course, limited release hoarders snatched 'em up before anyone else could. The best way to go with this game is digital. I reccomend the PC version, but most versions are probably the same. The game usually goes on sale for a couple of bucks to one dollar, so I reccomend nabbing it when it hits that price.
I won't give this game a rating, because I feel like a rating system kind of demeans the point of enjoying something. Because let's face it, you can't put a number on how much enjoyment you got out of using the swing-set as a kid, can you? While I am abandoning the traditional rating system, I can definitely say that this game is as sweet as syrup!

Q: How do I resize partitions when I don't have physical access to a remote server? I have a:

*

*cloud instance

*remote server

*Virtual Machine

*...

of Ubuntu to which I don't have physical access and I need to resize mounted partitions like / that I cannot dismount!
All the tutorials / answers I can find on-line are telling me to boot a USB or a DVD or ... but I can't because I don't have physical access to Ubuntu!
What should I do??? Help!

A: Warning: The following does not work if you have ssh access to your server only!  You need some kind of an Out of Band console session into your server like a cpanel console, vCenter, iLO, IDRAC,  ...
Warning in plain English: You need to be able to see grub when you boot into Ubuntu.

The steps:

*

*Take a full snapshot / system backup / ... of your instance that can be restored through a boot process like PXE, an off-line bootable USB disk, ...

*No really: 95% of the time everything goes well, but have a look first on how to back up first before you have to trek up a mountain to service the Ubuntu server that is controlling that telescope!

*Download the gparted live iso

*copy the downloaded file in /opt/LiveISOs
    sudo mkdir /opt/LiveISOs
    sudo cp ~/Downloads/gparted-live-1.0.0-3-amd64.iso /opt/LiveISOs

*edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom to include the following at the end:
    menuentry "GParted Live ISO" {
      set ISOFile="/opt/Live-ISOs/gparted-live-1.0.0-3-amd64.iso"
      loopback loop ($root)$ISOFile
      linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$ISOFile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
      initrdefi (loop)/live/initrd.img
    }

*set grub's timeout parameter to anything but 0

*update grub's config:
    sudo update-grub2

*Reboot to grub

*Take menu option GParted Live ISO
Voilà: a virtual USB key has been inserted in your VM / headless server / ... virtually and you can now shrink / expand partitions off-line using gparted (or using lvm utilities from the command line!)
Note: If using VMWare, you can also attach the ISO to the VM and boot the ISO through vCenter.

IFVP's Fall Check-In
Contributed by Sunny Benbelkacem
Wow! 2018 has been a whirlwind! Summer has flown by and we are quickly approaching the cusp of fall. I, Sunny, your humble reporter and Board President, wanted to take a moment and reflect on all we've planned, done, and what is still to come. I hope you've noticed the flurry of activity, movement, and momentum these last 8 months. Let's review the great work this volunteer board has been focused on. Here we go!
Board of Directors: Things are Changing
In January, we announced that Sunny BenBelkacem was stepping into the Vice President role, working with President Jenny Trautman. On August 1st, Sunny officially took the reins of President of the board. Jenny served the board for five years and as president for three years. Jenny was a strong administrator, bringing a measure of business acumen that drove establishing and documenting processes to support IFVP in some good old, scalable growth. Her experience as a technology consultant benefitted the IFVP in the form of strong leadership in implementing platforms to support our strategy of connecting our community with curated content. Strengthening the back office systems to allow better support of the organization and members is her greatest gift to the organization. In partnership with Phil Bakelaar, IFVP's CIO, her vision drove many of the changes that you now, and will continue, to see on the newly revamped IFVP website.
Jill Greenbaum served as a Director on the board for 4 years as well as the board secretary for two years. Jill developed and laid the groundwork for things like Regional chapters, affiliate marketing, learning and development projects, as well as doing the initial legwork on the discovery and exploration of the benefits of 501c3 and by-laws, recently ratified by the membership in May. During our board meetings, she was our by-law expert, often bringing us back to earth with reminders of what we could and could not do. She also contributed to the design of annual conferences and as well as teaching tapping and various personality and team assessments. Her contributions to IFVP are too long for me to list here (seriously) but Jill gave a lot to IFVP, and continues to do so as a member and volunteer for the Board Nomination committee.
As the new acting president, I want you all to join me in thanking them for their time, effort, sweat, and vision in helping to bring us to where we are today. Because of Jenny and Jill's efforts, we now see an invigorated and refreshed IFVP ready to support a growing membership. Thank you for your service. You are appreciated in more ways than you realize. We wish you the best in your future endeavors and wish for you to continue to contribute to the IFVP community with your unique and amazing talents.
Elena Urizar and Renatta Algalarrondo have renewed their terms on the Board of Directors. We are lucky to have them continue their service. If you only knew what these two have been up to. Well, read on to find out!
BOD Nominations: We're getting some fresh perspectives soon
When we ratified our by-laws, we also changed how we nominate Directors the Board. The new by-laws added an infrastructure to ensure transparency in the process. We have convened a nomination committee made up of Directors and Members and they are currently in process of designing a review and election process for members to vote on nominees. Keep your eyes open for more information in the nominees and the voting process. Thanks to Jill Greenbaum, Avril Orloff, and Leslie Salmon-Zhu for joining the Board Nominations committee.
New Kids on the Block: Welcome the soon to be European IFVP Regional Chapter!
You had to know I wasn't talking about the famous 90's boy-band, right? IFVP extended its hand in the spirit of friendship, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to the European visual practitioners who came together last year to explore how to build, grow, and maintain a visual practitioner community. After many meetings, calls, emails, and air miles, IFVP is happy to announce the creation of our first regional chapter!
Building on the work of many people, the idea of regional chapters is something the BoD has dreamed of, discussed, designed, and developed over the years (just ask Jill!). There have been many initiatives around this idea but it never grew legs until last year. At the EuViz conference in Rungstedgaard, Denmark, the IFVP hosted its Annual General Meeting (the AGM) and announced that we will be piloting the first regional chapter in Europe.
There was a lot of work behind this and many people are and will continue working hard to make it a reality. Renatta Algalarrondo, IFVP Board member and Board Liaison to this project, with the help of an army of people like Elena Urizar, Jenny Trautman, Christine Hemmingsen, Mara Callaert, Bea Broskova, Oliver Jacques Célestin Pesret, Matthew Buck, Ausrine Balkaityte, and so many others, is finally seeing it to fruition.
Next steps are to work with our website contractor to build out capabilities to support a regional chapter and to design the relationship between the IFVP Board and the regional chapter board. Renatta has been consulting governance and policy experts and working with the European Community Core team to make sure the structure of the chapter should be suited to the needs of the organization and a thoughtful growth plan will help to ensure the long-term success of this endeavor. There are many complexities that must be worked out and for this, join us in thanking those who are doing this work.
You said you wanted more: Fireside chats, Graphic Jams, Airtables and the Newsletter
This year also saw the debut of monthly IFVP Fireside chats and graphic jams.
Fireside chats are simply a online chat forum to discuss what is important to members. We encourage members to pitch us ideas and co-host the fireside chat with a Board Member. It can be about what is most important to you, what you are expert in and want to teach others, or topics that you want to explore with your fellow visual practitioners. It doesn't have to be in English either! It can be in your native language. We want the I in IFVP to flourish!
If you cannot join us for a Fireside chat, never fear! If you are a member, the chat is available on the IFVP website under the For Members tab. You just need to be a paying member with a log-in to the website. Also, if you are not familiar with the term fireside chat, it comes from the FDR presidency (US). You can learn more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireside_chats
Graphic Jams are an IFVP staple from the early days of the organization. Members would get together, brainstormed terms, expressions, and metaphors and threw them in a jar or hat, selected a word for each round where everyone drew their visual representation, and then they shared their work with each other, learning and adding new icons to their lexicon. At the end of the jam, all the drawings were then compiled into a book members could purchase at the annual conference.
Think of our graphic jams as the creation of an online visual lexicon of ideas for your reference. We are hosting a monthly graphic jam on the first Saturday of every month. At the end of each session, we invite all participants to upload their drawings with a hashtag to an Airtable database. This visual database is available to IFVP members only by logging on to the website. Join us on the first Saturday of the month for some visual calisthenics.
View the Graphic Jam gallery: https://www.ifvp.org/premium/ifvp-graphic-jam-recordings
Submit a graphic jam drawing - don't forget to give it a hashtag (see the link on the same page as above).
Again, none of these sessions need to be in English. They can be hosted in your native language. We will provide you with the platform and the tools to promote your session. This is about creating content you want, letting you share your expertise and knowledge and connecting with your peers and colleagues. It's also about facilitating ways for you to build networks and relationships with your fellow practitioners and colleagues.
Phil has created an AirTable that is now a page on the IFVP website, under the tab "For Members". It is a collection of resources, from books to training to associations helpful in the development of a visual practitioner. Currently, it is available to anyone as it is a collaboration from many different people in the field, not just the IFVP. You can add resources to it but we hope to transition to a member-only list of resources.
Speaking of connecting members, did you know the newsletter's mission is to inform members, improve the member experience, and endear members to one another? Brandon Black, our Newsletter editor, IFVP member, and Cincinnati-based visual practitioner, has been doing a phenomenal job bringing you member highlights and interesting ideas to think about. If you are keen to share your experience, an idea, or draw an illustration for the newsletter, reach out to Brandon here: newsletter@ifvp.org.
You may have noticed an increase in communications these last few months. Well, I think a lot of that has to do with the work from Board Members Kim Dornish and Katerina Bogina. Thanks to their working in creating an overarching communications framework and calendar, we've been able to more easily create content that spans across channels. Oh, and you should know, a lot of the writing you receive in email communications is often from the pen of Board Member Nitya Wakhlu. She is a great writer and communicator, who spends considerable thought about how to best write and share with the membership.
The Next Get Together: When & Where
At the EuViz conference, we announced our 2019 conference location, at Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ. Montclair is about 25 minutes west of NYC and the train delivers you into the middle of it all at Penn Station.
Using a learning institution as a place to host our conference is a new model for us. Campus housing will be available but there are many hotels and AirBnBs available in the area. We hope you are willing to join us on this journey of conference innovation and exploration. We are still in the initial planning stages with Montclair so we cannot share a lot of details for now but keep your eyes and ears open for more information. What I can share with you is that Phil, Renatta, and I are going to Montclair the week after Labor Day to visit and determine the spaces we will use. Until you hear more, go ahead and block the dates on your calendar: July 29th to August 2nd, 2019.
EuViz in Denmark: The #FOMO was over the top!
It was interesting to watch the conference from afar. As incoming president of the IFVP, I was really excited to be there to meet everyone, to build relationships, and get feedback on what's important to the visual practitioner community. Unfortunately, that was not to be. A family issue kept me from attending and I watched my feed with a mix of dismay to be missing the fun but also delight in what was showing up in my feeds.
I will leave the recaps for those who will write about it but there is a ton of media to review to inspire and motivate you. Check it out below.

Tul, Elena, and Kim have been involved with the UI/UX of the website redesign. Kim has been working on the requirements and prioritization, as well as testing. Brandon, our tireless newsletter editor, has been re-writing content on the website. There are new capabilities available. Log on to www.IFVP.org and check it out now.
The IFVP Institute:
Renatta and Phil have been working through the summer with lawyers to complete the incorporation of a new 501c3 for the IFVP. A 501c3 is a US corporation that allows for tax-deductible donations that support its educational, charitable and scientific endeavors. The IFVP itself is incorporated as a 501c6 which is a business promotion organization.
The IFVP Institute will allow us to seek grants and sponsorships that will allow us to expand our work on behalf of visual practice and perhaps allow us to reduce the costs associated with the conference. The initial board for the Institute will consist of Raquel Benmergui, Renatta, and Phil. The board will signal when they are ready for board expansion, so expect to hear more about the IFVP Institute.
The social media committee (SMC) has undergone some changes. Bec Savic–SMC Chair and Facebook and Twitter admin, and Gerri Dickson–SMC member and LinkedIn admin, are moving on after five years of service. That is a long time to volunteer on an essential and critical task. Thank you to both Bec and Gerry for their generous efforts and time in building our digital footprint and brand message.
Currently, the committee is made up of Raquel Benmergui, Julie Gieseke, Ben Crothers, Heather Leavitt-Martinez, and Laurens Bonnema. The SMC is looking for a few good social media lovers to assist and guide IFVP's social media strategy in building an audience and communications cadence. I'd also like to thank the current SMC members for their continued service to the IFVP Social Media Committee.
Member and Professional Development: A Code of Ethics and Badges
Board member Nitya started the conversation about a code of ethics with a survey. We received a round of feedback and continue to comb through the results of the survey and fine tune for next steps. Also, don't forget about the stylish Member Badge designed by Ben Crothers. You can download it directly from your member page if you haven't already done so.

Success of River Act began with local activism
PUBLISHED: March 1, 2019 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 a.m.
The Senate recently passed the most sweeping conservation legislation in a decade, protecting millions of acres of land and hundreds of miles of wild rivers across the country.
The 662-page bill, approved on Feb. 12 in a rare display of bipartisanship (92-8), includes the Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Act. That measure, presented initially in the House by outgoing 3rd District Rep. Niki Tsongas in September, adds parts of the Nashua, Squannacook and Nissitissit rivers to the national Wild and Scenic Rivers System, a designation that would help preserve and protect the waterways and make them eligible for federal conservation funding.
A companion bill was introduced in the Senate by Massachusetts Sens. Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, along with New Hampshire Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen.
Congress failed to address the bill by the end of Tsongas' term, but early in the current congressional session, Senate Bill 47, the Natural Resources Management Act, was brought up for consideration. It still contained the Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Act, which was reintroduced by Warren and Markey in the Senate, and by Tsongas' House successor, U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan.
The measure also reportedly enjoys wide support in the House, which is expected to follow the Senate with a decisive yes vote after the mid-February recess.
And according to the Washington Post, White House officials have privately indicated President Trump will sign it into law.
The Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Act adds environmental protections to a 27-mile stretch of the Nashua River beginning in Lancaster to the New Hampshire border, a 16-mile segment of the Squannacook River from Townsend where it joins the Nashua, and 9.5 miles of the Nissitissit River from Brookline, N.H., to Pepperell.
Credit for the locally important part of this wide-ranging bill rightfully belongs not only to members of the Massachusetts and New Hampshire congressional delegations, but to grass roots activists that created the consensus and ground-up momentum for passage.
Since 2015, the Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Study Committee has worked to identify and promote the unique resource value these three rivers represent, and to develop a plan to ensure their pristine character endures for future generations.
This legislation wouldn't have happened without the assistance of the 11 participating communities in this effort — Ayer, Bolton, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Lancaster, Pepperell, Shirley, Townsend, and Brookline and Hollis, N.H — which unanimously approved the "Nashua, Squannacook and Nissitissit Rivers Stewardship Plan" at their respective annual town meetings last spring.
That document recommended seeking federal designation of the rivers as "Wild and Scenic."
Progressing to the point of even suggesting these federal protections wouldn't have been possible without the groundbreaking work of the parent organization, the Groton-based Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA), and its legendary founder, Marion Stoddart.
As Stoddart has rightfully observed, the Nashua has come a long way since the 1960s, when it was no more than a floating dump. Now 90, she'll hopefully soon see the Nashua and its tributaries become a protected national environmental treasure.

Stephen Curry agrees to a five-year, $201 million deal with Warriors
Susan Tripp Pollard/Bay Area News Group
When the free agency period began, the Golden State Warriors wasted little time in agreeing to a record-setting five-year, $201 million deal with point guard Stephen Curry, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Stephen Curry has agreed to a 5-year, $201M deal with Golden State, agent Jeff Austin of Octagon tells ESPN. No… https://t.co/v8sOh909y7
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2017
Curry is set to make $34.5 million next season and will earn more than $40 million over the last two years of the deal.
It had been long speculated that the Warriors were going to offer Curry the super max contract, especially following a second NBA title in the last three seasons. He had hinted about it on several occasions that he was eyeing a mega deal this offseason.
Curry has developed into one of the elite players in the league over the last four seasons, earning a pair of MVP awards, four All-Star selections, two All-NBA First Team nods, and two All-NBA Second Team selections in the process.
With Curry now in place, it now allows for the Warriors to shift their focus on their other players in free agency.

It was 50 years ago this year that The Beatles released their psychedelic magnum opus, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. With an iconic gatefold cover and persistent presence at the top of Rolling Stone Magazine's "Greatest Albums of All Time", Pepper has held its own for half a century.
Most people, whether you are a rock connoisseur or casual Beatles fan, can rattle off the lyric and hum a few bars of the title track. Pretty catchy for a chorus that only appears once in the entire composition!
Wait. Are you sure? Don't most choruses repeat at least 2-3 times in a song?
Typically, yes. But Lennon and McCartney were no slaves to conventional predictability. Instead they became masters of song form.
Song form in short are the patterns within musical compositions. The most common used forms in pop music today are based off of verse/chorus form. The verses typically tell a story while the chorus acts as a refrain, reinforcing the hook and/or title of the composition.
In a song that lasts a mere two minutes and three seconds, Lennon and McCartney (mostly McCartney) take us on an innovate, unconventional journey that still leaves us humming the chorus despite only being heard once for a short 20 seconds.
Lennon and McCartney were able to break the rules only after they mastered them. Any serious songwriter will pay attention to and practice song form. Whether you write metal or adult contemporary, song forms are the building blocks of all music.
The Beatles are a fine example of what can be done to freshen up verse/chorus song form while keeping the hook central and paramount.

An Industry Consolidated
Value and Synergy Through Realignment
Mark Working
Value is created by profitably satisfying customer needs with quality products and services. It is helpful to keep this principle in mind, as you digest the non-stop chatter in the business media regarding securities-market volatility, scarce credit, and the moribund state of private equity investment. During the six-month period beginning in the last quarter of 2008, Columbia Distributing and The Odom Corporation meaningfully consolidated the distribution of alcoholic beverages in the Pacific Northwest, with the goal of improving industry efficiency.
Until recently, Gold River Distributing, Mt. Hood Distributing, Columbia Distributing, Alaska Distributors, and The Odom Corporation each delivered beverages to overlapping territories and customers in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. At the end of the consolidation, the five individual businesses had become two: Columbia Distributing ("CoHo") and The Odom Corporation ("Odom").
The Impetus
The reason why this consolidation did not occur earlier can be attributed to the disparate personalities, rivalries, and strategies of the brands each firm managed. Miller distributors don't handle Budweiser. Coke distributors won't touch Pepsi. Similar alignments occur in the world of wines and spirits, making a more complicated labyrinth of supplier-distributor relationships than the casual observer could imagine.
Alcoholic beverage distribution is dominated by the major beer brands (Anheuser- Busch, Miller, and Coors) simply because of the volume of these brands, relative to others. Distribution networks across the country have developed to service these individual brands, often times adding craft beers, wine, and spirits (in open states) to the distribution product mix.
Over the recent past, beverage brands have been undergoing a process of consolidation to obtain synergies in production, marketing, and administration. Early in 2008, Miller Brewing Company and Coors Brewing Company merged their operations, including the management of their distribution networks. Their conclusion was that market consolidation of Coors and Miller distributors would reduce costs throughout the system. Encouragement by Miller-Coors management opened up the possibility of strategic distribution system networks in specific markets across the country, including the Pacific Northwest.
In spite of dismal economic news, these mergers were not driven by business distress. Five successful firms were reconfigured to form two dominant players. The economic rationale for consolidation was more efficient utilization of distribution infrastructure. When the business owners and their advisors put their pencils down, the analysis confirmed that delivery fleet, warehouse, customer management, and accounting/IT infrastructure could best be leveraged at scale within a given geographic area. The conclusion was that two networks would represent the most efficient allocation of resources in this region.
In addition to the benefit of being a more important distributor to customers as a result of greater volume, the economic benefits were quite meaningful. As illustrated in the article, "Should Your Business Raise More Capital?" (IN$IGHT, Spring 2009), the elimination of duplicate costs and improved utilization of joint assets resulted in a value in excess of that of the individual stand-alone firms. The term may be shopworn, but that is "synergy," which is illustrated by the above chart. The synergy value created was shared among the parties, with those shareholders that decided to sell receiving a premium value, while still leaving a meaningful benefit for those having the task of execution.
This brief description of a seemingly straightforward business combination does little justice to the difficulty of the transactions or the complexity of the change to be accomplished by the respective CoHo and Odom teams. Prior to the transaction, each of the five individual companies possessed unique portfolios of compatible beer and wine brands, and spirits (in Alaska). As a result of the transactions, the supplier mix was not fully aligned, which required migration of certain suppliers to establish a new equilibrium. Columbia Distributing long ago had established a joint venture with a major national wine distributor, Young's Markets, to help with the alignment and retention of brands. As part of its consolidation, The Odom Corporation also formed a wine and spirits distribution joint venture with another national powerhouse, Southern Wine & Spirits.
Both Coho and Odom have challenges ahead to realize their respective value potentials. Greg Christiansen, CEO of Coho, says, "We merged four entities into one, each having its own distinct culture. Now, there needs to be one consistent culture. Achieving that will be important to realize the potential value of the merger." At Odom, the theme is similar, but with its own twist. John Odom, CEO, noted, "This transaction doubled the size of our business. At the same time, we added a partner in Southern Wine & Spirits. By working together and using best practices, we expect to realize substantial efficiencies from our expanded scale."
Attracting Capital in a Stalled Market
The capital markets were in the worst straits of the last 20 years as these transactions were coming together. To suggest that this element of the deal was a snap would fly in the face of reality. Nevertheless, banks and investors were attracted to these situations because they exhibited compelling economics, predictable cash flows, and strong management.
Lessons for Others
Business owners should continually contemplate how their businesses can be more successful in the future. Especially in light of reduced demand for products and services in many industries, a drive toward greater efficiency will move to the fore because of the compelling economics. And, that might mean aligning and consolidating operations with other entities that bring something to the value equation. Despite the tightened credit markets, combinations that improve business performance will attract capital. Concentrate on value creation; capital will follow.
