Pesto, the impetus for this blog's past few posts, is one of my favorite sauces for gnocchi.
The potato-based dumpling just doesn't play particularly well with tomato-based sauces. And gnocchi are enriched enough with egg yolk that a cream sauce seems like overkill.
Despite its starch-on-starch composition, pasta dishes traditional to the Italian region of Liguria, where pesto is ubiquitous, often incorporate green beans and potatoes. The pesto's acid and herbs lighten up the potato, which absorbs both flavors so readily.
So it should come as little surprise that a vinegary, mustardy, garlicky vinaigrette is the suggested seasoning for these gnocchi, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune. Pairing gnocchi with Dijon mustard may be the magic bullet that gets my husband to finally eat the dumplings again after years of conviction that he doesn't like them. Top-quality, locally grown potatoes may do the trick, too.
Given the warm winter, it shouldn't be long before local morels could take the place of this dish's button mushrooms.
Stab the potato twice with a sharp knife. Bake at 425 F until tender when squeezed, for 55-60 minutes. Alternatively, microwave until tender, for 5 to 6 minutes. Halve baked potato and press through a potato ricer. Discard skin.
Drop the yolk onto potatoes, scatter on the salt and a few grates of the nutmeg. Stir with a fork, just to combine. Sprinkle on 2 or 3 tablespoons of the flour and mix gently to form a soft dough, adding flour as needed — you may only need half of flour quantity listed.
Divide dough in 4 portions. On a floured surface, roll each into a ¾-inch-thick rope. Slice crosswise into 1-inch segments. Flip pieces over a fork, tines resting on table. Roll each gnocco down back of fork, pressing lightly, to imprint grooves.
Drop gnocchi into simmering, salted water in batches. Gnocchi will sink, then, in about 1 minute, float. Count 10 seconds. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and cool on a kitchen towel.
In a wide skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium. Slide in gnocchi and the mushrooms; sprinkle with rosemary. Toss until golden-brown, for 3 to 4 minutes. Pull out with a slotted spoon and toss with half of vinaigrette.
Toss the greens with vinaigrette to taste. Heap on each of 3 plates. Spoon gnocchi and mushrooms on top. Sprinkle with the truffle salt. Carve on some curls of the Parmesan. Enjoy.
VINAIGRETTE: Let 2 tablespoons peeled and chopped red onion mellow in 1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar for 20 minutes. Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes and a little garlic mashed with salt.

"I condemn the attack and beating of Vadim Makaryuk, and urge the authorities to do their utmost to bring the perpetrators of this attack swiftly to justice," Désir said. "Targeting and attacking journalists because of their work is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated."
12 June 2019 – A court in Kharkiv refused to detain a man involved in the brutal beating of Makaryuk, considering round-the-clock house arrest was sufficient, Interfax-Ukraine reported.

Anaheim Ducks take advantage of Calgary Flames' mistakes for Game 1 win

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Everything was going smoothly for the Calgary Flames in a building that previously caused them so much torment in recent seasons.
Then a poorly executed line change allowed the Anaheim Ducks to seize momentum and ultimately hold on for a 3-2 victory on Thursday at Honda Center in Game 1 of a first-round Western Conference playoff series.
With the Flames holding a 2-1 lead and less than seven minutes remaining in the second period, all five Calgary skaters headed for the visitors' bench. That allowed the Ducks to take advantage of a rare three-on-zero break.
Ryan Getzlaf gathered a stretch pass from Kevin Bieksa and snapped a shot that bounced off the glove of goaltender Brian Elliott. Rickard Rakell was there to gather the rebound and knock it home for the game-tying goal at 13:53.

"Getzy and the guys did a great job," Ducks winger Ryan Kesler said. "That was the turning point right there."
Anaheim seized control when Jakob Silfverberg took a feed from Patrick Eaves and scored a power play-goal at 17:47 of the middle period. That turned out to be the game-winner, but it was the earlier mistake on the line change that led to Calgary's NHL-record 28th consecutive loss at Honda Center.

"That was a big game-changer," Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. "I think there was twice in the game where we stopped playing for a second, thinking it was icing, then hesitated coming to the bench, and it cost us. That's something we talked about -- line changes -- at length over the last couple of days because those details are important."
The Ducks got some sharp goaltending from John Gibson (30 saves) to hold off the Flames the rest of the way. Gibson and the Ducks' penalty-killing unit were at their best late in the game when they helped kill off a five-on-three Calgary advantage.
"A couple of grade-A scoring chances there," Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau said. "Gibson made some big saves in the final couple seconds."
RELATED Anaheim Ducks G John Gibson stellar in shutout of Chicago Blackhawks
The Ducks went 2-for-7 on the power against a Calgary team that led the NHL in penalties during the regular season.
Getzlaf opened scoring with a power-play goal just 52 seconds into the game. Calgary bounced back with a power-play goal by Sean Monahan at 8:43 of the first period, and the Flames got an even-strength tally by Sam Bennett at 9:46 of the second to take a 2-1 lead.
The Ducks also helped their own cause by winning 49 of 78 faceoffs, including several in their own zone or on the penalty kill. Calgary, which finished tied for 10th in the NHL on the power play during the regular season, converted 1 of 5 man-advantage chances in Game 1.
Despite the win and the long home winning streak over the Flames, the Ducks did not sound like an overconfident team after the game.
"We're gonna have to earn everything," said Getzlaf, who was on the ice to help kill off the late penalty. "That's a great hockey team over there. We're gonna have to continue to get better in certain areas, but it's great to find a way to win tonight."
Anaheim finished with a 41-32 edge in shots on goal, as Elliott finished with 38 saves.
Defensemen Shea Theodore, who spent the season going back and forth between Anaheim and the team's American Hockey League affiliate in San Diego, recorded his first two NHL playoff assists.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Saturday night at Honda Center.
NOTES: With his first-period goal, Ducks C Ryan Getzlaf moved into third place on the team's all-time playoff goal-scoring list with 30. He trails Teemu Selanne (35) and a current teammate, RW Corey Perry (35). ... The series marks the third playoff meeting between the teams. The Ducks won in six games in the 2006 Western Conference quarterfinals and won in five games in the 2015 second-round. ... The most significant health issue for either team entering the series involved Ducks D Cam Fowler, who sustained a knee injury when the teams met on April 4 and is expected to be out between two and six weeks. Fowler was kneed by Flames D Mark Giordano, causing some bad blood between the teams, adding some spice to the playoff matchup. ... Flames G Brian Elliott dropped to 1-8-3 in his career against the Ducks.

wame Ture, the flamboyant civil rights leader known to most Americans as Stokely Carmichael, died Sunday in Conakry, Guinea. He was 57 and is best remembered for his use of the phrase "black power," which in the mid-1960's ignited a white backlash and alarmed an older generation of civil rights leaders, including the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The cause was prostate cancer, for which Ture had been treated at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York in the last two years. He once said his cancer "was given to me by forces of American imperialism and others who conspired with them."
"When I first heard about the Negroes sitting in at lunch counters down South," he told Gordon Parks in Life magazine in 1967, "I thought they were just a bunch of publicity hounds. But one night when I saw those young kids on TV, getting back up on the lunch counter stools after being knocked off them, sugar in their eyes, ketchup in their hair -- well, something happened to me. Suddenly I was burning."
Graduating with a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Howard in 1964, he joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It was "Freedom Summer" in the year that SNCC (popularly pronounced snick) was sending hundreds of black and white volunteers to the South to teach, set up clinics and register disenfranchised black Southerners.
Tall, slim, handsome and a dynamic speaker, Carmichael soon emerged as a leader, cocky enough to be described as looking like he was strutting when standing still. Parks wrote that watching him made him believe that the young man could "stroll through Dixie in broad daylight using the Confederate flag for a handkerchief."
s a SNCC field organizer in Lowndes County in Alabama, where blacks were in the majority but politically powerless, he helped raise the number of registered black voters to 2,600 from a mere 70, or 300 more than the number of registered whites.
Horrified, he said that he screamed and could not stop.
It was June 16, 1966, and Carmichael, a spellbinding orator, was addressing a crowd of 3,000 in a park in Greenwood, Miss. James Meredith, who had integrated the University of Mississippi, was wounded on his solitary "Walk Against Fear" from Memphis to Jackson, and volunteers were marching in his place. When they set up camp in Greenwood, Carmichael was arrested and his frustration was obvious.
Adverse reaction was powerful and immediate. After the integrationist, nonviolent speeches and sermons of Dr. King and others, few Americans, white or black, were prepared for the uncompromising demands of black militants who rallied to Carmichael's cry.
Newspapers deplored the term and editorials warned of "reverse racism." Contributions to civil rights groups from sympathetic whites fell. Voting results that November in many state and local elections reflected a white backlash.
any black leaders of the civil rights movement, though eager to avoid a split, were clearly upset by the use of the phrase and the separatism it seemed to advocate.
Dr. King called it "an unfortunate choice of words." Roy Wilkins of the N.A.A.C.P. scorned it as an example of "the raging of race against race." Perhaps the most indignant response came from Whitney Young Jr., the director of the National Urban League, who said: "Anyone can arouse the poor, the despairing, the helpless. That's no trick. Sure they'll shout 'black power,' but why doesn't the mass media find out how many of those people will follow those leaders to a separate state or back to Africa?"
In the book "Black Power," which Carmichael wrote in 1967 with Charles Hamilton, now a professor of political science at Columbia University, the authors tried to explain the term. "It is a call for black people in this country to unite," they wrote, "to recognize their heritage, to build a sense of community. It is a call for black people to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations."
But even as the book, which is still in print, appeared, Carmichael's speeches became more provocative. "When you talk of black power, you talk of building a movement that will smash everything Western civilization has created," he told black audiences. And as civil unrest flared in Detroit and Newark, Carmichael's call became associated, as Hamilton put it, "with riots and guns and 'burn, baby, burn.' "
Instead of young people singing "We Shall Overcome," new images of militant black men and women were being shown on television -- black berets, raised fists, men with guns. And along with goals of social justice and integration came ideas of black separatism and power harking back to the black nationalism that had been preached in the 1920's by Marcus Garvey.
In 1966 and 1967 Carmichael lectured at campuses around the United States and traveled abroad to several countries, including North Vietnam, China and Cuba. He made perhaps his most provocative statement in Havana. "We are preparing groups of urban guerrillas for our defense in the cities," he said. "It is going to be a fight to the death."
In 1967 a declining SNCC severed all ties with him. Soon after, he became honorary prime minister of the Black Panthers, the ultra-militant urban organization begun by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. But he soon found himself embroiled with Panther leaders for opposing their decision to seek support among whites. He moved to Guinea, in West Africa, in 1969, saying, "America does not belong to the blacks," and calling on all black Americans to follow his example.
n July 1969, three months after he moved to Africa, he made public a letter announcing his resignation from the Black Panther Party because of what he called "its dogmatic party line favoring alliances with white radicals."
The letter signaled Carmichael's break from the main currents of American life. He made his home in Conakry as the guest of Sekou Toure, the Marxist head of a one-party state. His next-door neighbor was Kwame Nkrumah, the Pan-Africanist first leader of independent Ghana, who after being deposed in a coup in 1966 was offered sanctuary in Guinea.
He became a globe-trotting exponent of the All African Peoples Revolutionary Party, returning to American campuses to recruit. He maintained that continued progress for black Americans could be made only through "mass political organization on a Pan-African scale."
"Black power," he said, "can only be realized when there exists a unified socialist Africa." He sounded the idea that blacks must work with blacks for their cultural, economic and political liberation.
As early as 1971, he was already on the margins. Julius Lester, who had helped Carmichael draft the radical speech in Havana, compared the speeches of Malcolm X with the speeches and essays that Carmichael collected in a book called "Stokely Speaks." Lester wrote in The New York Times Book Review: "Though dead, Malcolm is terrifyingly alive in his speeches; Carmichael is alive but his speeches are depressingly dead."
In 1952 he joined his parents in Harlem. By the time he was in the seventh grade, his family had moved to Morris Park, an old Jewish and Italian neighborhood in the East Bronx. He said in the 1967 Life interview that he was the only black member of the Morris Park Dukes, a gang, and described himself as "a wild, aggressive boy, boozing it up and getting a kick out of petty theft."
But after he passed the admissions test for the elite Bronx High School of Science, he broke with the Dukes. "They were all reading the funnies while I was trying to dig Darwin and Marx," he told Gordon Parks.
He was popular in high school, he said, and remembered dating white classmates and visiting Park Avenue apartments. "Now that I realize how phony they all were, how I hate myself for it." he said in the 1967 interview. "Being liberal was an intellectual game with these cats. They were still white, and I was black."
Ture never publicly criticized President Toure, who was known to jail and torture his opponents. The Guinean leader died in 1984, and two years later Ture's alignment with him led to his arrest by the military government that had taken over. He spent three days in jail, accused of trying to overthrow the government.
Ture continued to live in Guinea. To the end he answered his telephone with the greeting he had used for more than 20 years, "Ready for the revolution!"

Suspect in deadly shooting receives 15 year prison sentence
by: KELOLAND News
MADISON, S.D. (KELO) – A judge has sentenced a suspect in connection with a deadly shooting at a home on Lake Madison.
Joseph Schmitz was sentenced to 15 years in prison for manslaughter.
In January, Schmitz pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the shooting death of Corina Booth. But last week, he testified that he was so groggy from medications and a lack of sleep that he doesn't remember entering that plea. However, the judge denied his request to take it back.
Sentencing was supposed to be at 9 a.m. on Friday but was delayed. KELOLAND's Perry Groten reports authorities said that Schmitz was being difficult.
We'll have additional details from the courtroom later in the day on KELOLAND News and KELOLAND.com.

Saluting The Greatest Rock Music Icons
Limehouse Lizzy
Renowned for an action-packed pyrothechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, well and dominating stages worldwide.
Limehouse Lizzy are officially one of the hardest working bands in the UK. They were accredited for their live shows by the Performing Rights Society in December 2011 and received their certificate from PRS Chairman (and respected songwriter) Guy Fletcher OBE.
The band have also added a tribute into their show to ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist (and world renowned solo artist) Gary Moore who sadly passed away last year.
Following the enormous success of their ˜Live & Dangerous" & ˜Dedication" tours, the band embarked upon their "Into the Limelight" 2008 tour to tie in with their appearance on an episode of BBC2's 'Arena' documentary series of the same name. The tour travelled as far as a headline slot at a Rock festival in Greece, and the Virgin Atlantic Music festival in Barbados. The band appeared alongside diverse world music acts, and played a Thin Lizzy set representing the celtic rock genre.
In 2012 the band's European tour continues to explore and celebrate the artistic and musical legacy of the hard-living, hard-rocking, yet at times surprisingly tender and romantic artist that was Philip Lynott. This year they will be appearing in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium.
Expect more of the Celtic influenced tracks like "Whisky in the Jar" and "Black Rose", amongst the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks "The Boys are Back in Town", "Sarah" and many others we've come to expect from one of the most highly rated acts on the circuit.
Attention to detail, playful audience interaction and that all important X-factor that leaves you with the feeling of witnessing the real thing have led to their performance being described as "beyond tribute", by both audience and critics alike.
"If you're sceptical about tribute acts, you won't be after seeing Limehouse Lizzy"
— Radio Times
"Limehouse Lizzy's Wayne Ellis, an uncanny ringer for Phil Lynott..."
"Entertainment for more than a decade…fantastic live music"
— Arena BBC2
"Limehouse have cracked it by ringing the neck of every song and you can see they enjoy it as much as the crowd."
— John Nesbitt, www.bournemouthecho.co.uk
"Out of all the tribute bands I have seen Limehouse Lizzy have been the best. The vocal performance from Wayne was outstanding. The guitar playing blew my mind. Their stage presence was amazing. I had an absolutely awesome night."
— Lisa Taylor-Henson, Limehouse Lizzy Guestbook
"Have seen the band 4 times now and you are true professionals always bringing a great show to where ever you play. Rock on Lizzy!!!!"
— Tony & Lin, Limehouse Lizzy Guestbook

Editorial: What's next as 2017 health care future
Progress in health care was seen in some ways in the first six months of the year, yet it also was a reminder of how much still must be done.
Editorial: What's next as 2017 health care future Progress in health care was seen in some ways in the first six months of the year, yet it also was a reminder of how much still must be done. Check out this story on news-press.com: http://newspr.es/2ttMxYI
The News-Press Published 11:29 a.m. ET July 20, 2017
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., second from right, accompanied by, from left, Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas, speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday.

Waiting on Washington.
In a year when significant changes to the health care system for Southwest Florida and beyond were expected, halfway into 2017 we're still waiting on Washington.
Following major decisions by voters in November, our editorial board pointed to the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act and the rollout of medical marijuana in Florida as key reasons to monitor how far we advance in health care in 2017.
As voters were electing a Republican president and maintaining the GOP majority in the U.S. House and Senate, three major polls put dissatisfaction with the federal health care act, referred to as Obamacare, at 54 percent.
"Repeal and replace" became an expectation for 2017, but the question was "replace with what?" Today that uncertainty remains.
What has changed, however, is the nation's perception of the act. A Gallup poll in April gave the health care act a 55 percent approval rating compared with just 42 percent approval after the election. Gallup found 40 percent want to keep the law but make significant changes, 30 percent want it repealed and 26 percent want no changes.
In six other polls this year, more respondents favored the national health care act than opposed it, including a late June poll by Fox News in which 52 percent supported it and 46 percent opposed it.

So while members of Congress try to identify an acceptable alternative that can pass, Florida and other states remain on hold. That's unfortunate considering states are key players in administering vital federal health care programs like Medicaid.
The 2017 Legislature had to pass its $83 billion state budget, more than a third of which is health care related, without guidance from Washington on what's changing. With the Legislature starting work this fall for a 2018 session that opens in January — early because it's an election year — we hope clarity comes soon from Washington on a federal health care plan.
The call to cut in half the length of summer recess (Congress was supposed to be off all of August) was welcomed.
Congress hasn't delivered, but Florida now has a medical marijuana law thanks to the Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott. That's who 71 percent of voters put in charge of medical marijuana in November when they left most regulatory decisions up to lawmakers.
The legislation may have flaws, but the Legislature will be able in early 2018 to address any unanticipated consequences related to the bill that was approved in a June special session.
A proponent of the medical marijuana amendment sued over the Legislature's decision to ban smoking — the legislation instead allows edibles and vaping. Our editorial board has supported the exclusion of marijuana smoking because measurable dosages of other forms can be prescribed by doctors, whereas leafy marijuana can vary in potency. A significant concern of ours is ensuring all precautions are taken to keep smokeable marijuana out of the hands of children.
» In a recent guest commentary, a Florida lawmaker outlines what the Legislature did this session to address mental health issues. The legislator acknowledges more must be done. That's certainly the case for a state ranking No. 49 in per capita mental health funding. Collier Commissioner Andy Solis raised the issue at a June community workshop, which we hope launches a continuing elevated focus on the issue.
» Lee Health's spring opening of the 128-bed, $242 million Golisano Children's Hospital was a historic moment in 2017 for the area's wellness, as was May's ceremonial start of work on a $140 million emergency room and medical complex in Estero. It's expected to open in fall 2018.

Chaos Dragon Secret Method
Mebett coming over while riding Ka-kun the Mechanical Dragon certainly surprised Bizon and Gurre at first, but as expected, they got used to it pretty quickly. Bizon especially liked the idea of a Dragon Maiden daughter with her own dragon because it meant she, "Already has a good enough dowry for her wedding."
The citizens of Warren loved Pi-tan in his cute miniature form, so after being shown a new one with a slightly more metallic sheen, they weren't going to say anything against it. At most, "A light brown was added to the Jewelry Box," there was just a simple recognition of the facts.
Of course, the most excited for this new Mechanical Dragon were the members of the Workshop Guild, Flint included.
When Claire and Pi-tan had brought in that lightly shining material nearly a meter in area a few days ago, let alone knowing what it was, nobody at the guild could even tell whether it was a rock or a metal. What they could tell was that it much lighter than it looked, yet it was harder than steel. While being worked on it had an amazing elasticity and rigidness to it, and no amount of cutting, whacking, or shaving produced any changes to the material at all. Even when the blacksmiths got Claire's permission and threw it in the furnace, there were no changes. The same was true for when they gave it an acid wash and used a grinding agent as well.
"Claire, could you give us the answer soon."
Flint just couldn't figure out what the material was. No, there was one possibility that did come to mind, but he had brushed it off as impossible.
And so Claire decided to give the other guild members a small hint to help them along.
"This is a scale from the Land Dragon he molted off. Well, do you get it now?"
"No way, this is the raw material for Dark Mithril!?"
"Correct! As expected!"
Claire responded with a smile, confirming that the answer Flint had given, the one he had dismissed as impossible, was in fact the right one.
But in response, the other guild members were left speechless. After a moment had passed, Flint asked Claire with a trembling voice.
"But, you can't process Dark Mithril. What are you going to do with it?"
"We~ll. That's where I come in!"
On Claire's behalf, Pi-tan let out a proud voice from on top of Claire's head.
"When you're turning a lump of iron into a sword, you have to melt it with heat, temper the edge with a large hammer, shape the mold with a gavel, and then finish cooking."
Seeing everyone nodding, Pi-tan was satisfied with the serious expressions on all of the listening guild members.
"So for Dark Mithril, while you can't melt it, you can soften the raw materials by altering the flow of magic through it. No training required after that. The softened material can be easily cut apart or stretched, so you'd shape it to your needs here. The key here is that your raw materials should be about half the size of what it is you want to make."
"Why is that?" one of the members of Claire's Carpenters raised his hand.
"Leave all questions to the end. Now when you go to harden the Dark Mithril raw materials, that will take a much stronger magical flow then what you were using before. Nearly eight times what you were using before which will cause the materials to absorb a large amount of the magic, and it will end up about twice as large in both width and length. This is one of the big reasons why Dark Mithril weapons are so light despite their size. It's also important to know that you can't alter the flow of magic in Dark Mithril again after it's already been hardened once, so trying to adjust its size or put on any finishing touches afterwards will be impossible. Everyone get it?"
The Workshop Guild members were starting to get excited after hearing Pi-tan's story, especially the younger members of Claire's Carpenters who looked like they were about ready to jump at the scale she had brought in.
However Flint alone was standing back, his arms crossed and a frown on his face.
"I understand the method. However, altering magic flow isn't as easy as you make it sound."
Flint's point was natural. Although magic flow is the foundation of sorcery, it's a mechanism that isn't fully understood. Current day magicians have devised methods to use spells based on records that have survived since days long past, so it'd be accurate to say current day sorcery is derived off of older sorcery which initially examined the flow of magic. Most people know almost nothing about the fundamentals of how magic flows.
And so once again from on top of Claire's head, Pi-tan puffed out his chest in pride.
"Well actually, my entire body is made of magic. So I have to alter the flow of magic just in order to move. Understand?"
"Um, so for me altering the flow of magic comes naturally. So as a test, let me run a little through this and break off a small piece.
Jumping off of Claire's head and taking his human form, Pi-tan grabbed one edge of the molted off Land Dragon scale with both hands.
Pi-tan whispered to himself, and the luster in the Land Dragon scale began to fade.
"Go ahead and hit right along the edge there."
With Pi-tan's permission Flint struck the material, and to his surprise, it felt as soft as if he were working with pure gold.
"It's not quite on the level of pure gold, but you should still be able to mold it easily. And with a chunk this big, I think you should be able to do quite a lot with it."
Claire pulled out a blueprint as Pi-tan spoke. It was the drawing for a dragon-shaped golem.
"I don't know how well a Dark Mithril golem is going to stretch, so we should try building some mini Mogemoge-kuns first. Then we can tackle the real project."
Claire's Carpenters stared at the blueprints as if they were some valuable stolen art. And then all eyes moved to Claire.
"Claire, let us help too."
"Of course everyone! Let's do our best until it's built!"
Claire had enthusiasm enough for all the rest of her carpenters.
After producing a couple of mini Mogemoge-kuns, the guild members were able to find out just how extraordinary expansion/contraction ratio is for a golems made with Dark Mithril.
So when creating a golem using normal metal, the expansion ratio of 8, with your base model shrinking in half after becoming a golem, and then having a finished product twice as big as your base once activated. In other words, a golem made from some kind of metal like iron would have its doll become four times as longer and four times as tall once activated. So for example with a general Gorgon Golem, the base metal would be a meter long. Once it is turned into a golem, it would turn into its little figurine doll form which would be half its original size at 50 centimeters long. But then once that figurine is activated, you'd have a cow golem standing 2 meters long.
However the expansion ratio for the Mogemoge-kuns made with Dark Mithril ended up being 1000. So in other words if your base materials were 10 centimeters long, then the completed golem figurine would end up being a single centimeter long, and the activated golem would be a full meter.
Thus the dimensions for the Mechanical Dragon were able to be determined. Claire decided to have the finished figurine sit at a tiny 3 centimeters while the finished product would stand 3 meters tall.
For the record, the 'mini' Mogemoge-kun they made to test out the Dark Mithril wasn't very mini anymore, so it was donated to the Workshop Guild as "TS-kun No. 3 Premium"
And so the "Mechanized Dragon Shaped Golem-kun Made from Big, Hard, and Shiny Dark Mithril" was able to come into existence through all the efforts of the Warren Workshop Guild.
However, Claire didn't give the guild this new technique {Create Dragon Golem} like she had done with Mogemoge-kun. That was because the required mp for this spell far exceeded what almost any human would ever be able to have. It took 40 mp to make this golem, and it would have been impossible for her to have made this without the 30 bonus mp she got from her Awakening Ring and Spirit Ring.
"Claire, couldn't you sell this {Create Dragon Golem} as a new spell?"
In a certain sense, Claire managed to work her way around Flint's question.
"This, wouldn't be possible without Pi-tan's help."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. It's hard to imagine a bunch of these out in the world anyway."
Flint showed a convinced smile.
"Rather than that, it's everyone's bonus round!"
The bonus round was when all the members of the Workshop Guild would get to use whatever was leftover from the Land Dragon scale after after it had been punched full of holes for the Mechanized Dragon Golem to build whatever they wanted. Pi-tan had agreed to help them with altering the magic flow, so each member got to decide for themselves what it is they would build. After pondering and discussing things among themselves, they decided to go with a making some mallets and a couple kanna knives. There had never been any Dark Mithril carpenter tools before.
After the last tool had been hardened and finished, the leader of Claire's Carpenters brought up one last thing for Pi-tan to finish.
"We wanted to give this to Claire and Pi-tan. This holds the feelings of everyone here."
What Pi-tan received was a delicately crafted ring with a black diamond inset. The members who worked on this had clearly put in a lot of time and care to make sure the gem would fit into the finished product.
"A Dragon Maiden is a dragon's thing right?"
One of the younger members of Claire Carpenters asked a question making it clear why they were giving this to Pi-tan rather than Claire herself.
"Claire doesn't belong to me. But, I'll be sure to give this to her on your behalf."
Pi-tan gave everyone a wink while making sure that Claire hadn't noticed what they were doing away from her yet.
Once the material had all been worked through and everything cleaned up, everyone gathered around to watch as Pi-tan slid their ring onto Claire's finger.
The Workshop Guild guildhall was filled with the cheers of its members.
For the people of the Workshop Guild, rather than any kind of battle goddess(valkyria), that figure of Claire holding the ring on her finger close with cheeks bright red in embarrassment was much closer to that of a blacksmith goddess.
Thank you for the 💍

Launch of the new issue of Jerzy Kwiatkowski's memories in Warsaw
The book's launch event organised by the State Museum at Majdanek (PMM) together with the History Meeting House (DSH) took place on September, 11, 2018. Specialists from Poland and the United States discussed the new issue of Jerzy Kwiatkowski's memories titled "485 dni na Majdanku" [485 days at Majdanek].
The meeting was conducted by Krzysztof Banach, the manager of Exhibition Department of PMM. Dorota Niedziałkowska, language editor of the book, presented the new issue of memories during a multimedia presentation. Apart from the biography of Jerzy Kwiatkowski and the publishing history of '485 days at Majdanek' she also talked about the editing aspects. Due to the scholarship from the Hoover Institution Library and Archives, she managed to examine all existing texts of memories from the camp.
Maciej Siekierski, custodian of the European collection of the Hoover Institution, a specialist in the field of the territory of Poland and Eastern Europe and a leader of the division of gaining archival materials from this part of Europe, characterised the Kwiatkowski's archive using the background of other materials kept in this institution. The interest of PMM in these materials made the Hoover Institution to arrange them and make accessible for the researchers. Due to the engagement of Maciej Siekierski, the custodian of the collection, we managed to find professor Janina Kwiatkowska-Korczak, the only living cousin of Kwiatkowski from the Lviv part of the family that was repatriated to Wrocław. Janina Kwiatkowska-Korczak also participated in the meeting.
The second speaker was Zbigniew Gluza, a journalist, publisher, an opposition activist during the times of the Polish Peoples' Republic, founder of Eastern Archive that works on the documentation of the 20th century history of Poland and Eastern Europe, executive editor of a quarterly journal 'Karta,' creator of the 'Karta' organisation, co-creator of DSH. He focused on the phenomenon of the traumatic memory of Kwiatkowski that enabled him to precisely recreate his memories. At the camp, he had no possibility of keeping a written track of the events.
As an expert in the field of reminiscential literature we invited Bartłomiej Krupa from the Institue of Literature Research from the Polish Academy of Sciences, a literature specialist with specialisation in camp literature, author of 'Labour-camp memoirs as a specific variety of historic writing' and 'Relating Holocaust. Polish Prose and Historiography against the Holocaust'. His review of '485 days at Majdanek' will be printed in the upcoming issue of 'Holocaust Studies and Materials.' He spoke about the memories from Majdanek using a wider background of camp memories. The specialist put emphasis on the great editing of the new issue of the book. He was, however, critical towards the camp attitude of Kwiatkowski, as he expected a confession of guilt. Gluza discussed it with him, saying that one should not expect such confession and heroism from an author that was also a victim.
A special guest was the manager of the Hoover Institution Library and Archives by the Stanford University – Eric Wakin. He congratulated to the PMM for the Polish edition of '485 days at Majdanek,' prepared with use of archive materials from the memories of Jerzy Kwiatkowski kept in the institution he was managing. He said he wanted to continue the cooperation in working on the book in English. On the 12th of September 2018 in the PMM, Eric Wakin – together with manager of the PMM Tomasz Kranz – signed an intentional letter about this project.
New issue of '485 days at Majdanek' is the third, but first that's free from the censorship and other changes, edition of the memories by a former political prisoner of the Lublin concentration camp. It is an invaluable source of knowledge about the camp. The basis of the issue is the first text from 1945 kept at the Hoover Institution. The text, written on a typing machine, was carefully modernised and issued with the original language which should be seen as novelty in the field of reminiscential literature.


While I was in Hawaii, I found out a friend of mine, who I had met during my Team in Training days in 2007 had passed away from a surfing accident while on his honeymoon in Nicaragua. I was heart broken. At 31 years old, the thought of never seeing him again or hearing his voice never crossed my mind. I was bummed that I would miss his memorial and so had my own goodbye moment with Joe in Hawaii while the sun was setting Saturday evening. As the sun was setting I was also asking the universe... what. the. hell? Why take a good guy when there are so many bad ones out there doing bad things? I was on the phone with a friend and he said something that run so true. Life isn't too short, it's how you live it while you're still here. I couldn't agree more.
A little about Joe... He loved to surf! He used to tell me about his last minute surfing trips to Costa Rica, his New Zealand adventures among others. He was excited about life! He is one of the most genuine, caring and down to earth guys you'd ever meet with old school Italian chivalry. My favorite memories of him started flashing before me. Our camping trip at Big Sur… how he wanted to be the protective guy friend and have a moment with the guy who I was dating and wasn't treating me so well at the time. The way he'd say, "That's bulls*t" whenever we share guy/girl dating stories. How much fun we had ringing in the New Year with our friend Mary and his friend Ben in Tahoe drinking champagne and watching Tila Tequila. He was a friend who I can always have fun with whether it was being his date to his company christmas party or just an afternoon coffee break.
Joe, wherever you are, I know your smile is still bright and the ocean waves are still big.


Lancashire Cricket have landed the signature of Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.
The signing follows on from the announcement earlier today that Joe Burns has signed for Lancashire for ten Specsavers County Championship matches next season.
Maxwell, who recently opted out of this year's IPL, will be available for the Royal London One-Day Cup, Vitality Blast and will also play a maximum of five Specsavers County Championship games for the Club.
The 30-year-old has represented Australia in all three formats, making his international debut in August 2012 against Afghanistan, and has since featured in 87 ODIs, 57 IT20s and seven Test matches.
Maxwell played a vital role in Australia's ICC Cricket World Cup triumph on home turf in 2015, scoring 324 runs at an average of 64.80 with a strike rate of 182.02, whilst also boasting the second fastest century in World Cup history from just 51 balls against Sri Lanka at the MCG.
He also has a fine T20 record domestically, having played for Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians in the IPL and Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash. He's previously had spells in England having played for Hampshire, Surrey and Yorkshire in the T20 Blast competition.
Maxwell will link up with fellow Australian all-rounder James Faulkner, who will return to Emirates Old Trafford for next year's Vitality Blast having signed a two-year contract with Lancashire last year.
Lancashire's Director of Cricket, Paul Allott said: "Glenn is one of the most exciting cricketers in the world and we're really looking forward to him joining Lancashire next year.
"As a destructive batsman, an outstanding fielder and an effective off-spin bowler, he is going to play an important role in our side where he'll be able to contribute in all facets of the game.
"He will bring a wealth of experience into the changing room having played in over 150 internationals for Australia and it will be another fantastic opportunity for the young players in our squad to learn from him.
"As a player and as a person, Glenn embodies what we're trying to achieve at Lancashire Cricket. He's a winner and the way he goes about the game will be an example to the rest of the squad. He's an incredibly committed, ambitious and passionate individual and he will fit into our side seamlessly.
Maxwell added: "I am hugely excited to be joining a massive Club like Lancashire next season.
"I have really enjoyed my spells in England before and I'm determined to put in some match winning performances for Lancashire in all three formats of the game. Coming over to England early next year will also help me acclimatise to conditions ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup which I am incredibly excited about.
"I still have aspirations to play Test cricket for Australia so I felt it was important that I play some First Class cricket whilst I'm over in England. The County Championship is an extremely competitive competition and I'm looking forward to being part of Lancashire's red ball team.

'The General Was Female?' Eastern Michigan University professor Megan Moore's solving of a Revolutionary War mystery to be featured on Smithsonian Channel
YPSILANTI – Megan Moore, an associate professor of anthropology at Eastern Michigan University, will be featured at 8 p.m. Monday, April 8 in the broadcast of Smithsonian Channel's "America's Hidden Stories: The General Was Female?"
Moore's research in human skeletal biology ranges from bioarchaeology of ancient populations in France to forensic and biomedical anthropology of modern Americans.
Her expertise is featured in episode six of Smithsonian Channel's show, "America's Hidden Stories," in which her team solves a big question about sex and gender of General Casimir Pulaski, a Revolutionary War hero.
Pulaski helped save George Washington's life in the Battle of Brandywine. He was known as the "Father of the American Cavalry," but new evidence suggests that the general may not have been male. The show follows a team of anthropologists as they examine the bones found at Pulaski's monument in Savannah and run state-of-the-art DNA tests in order to determine if the officer was female or if someone else was buried in the tomb.
Moore's work on the Pulaski case and her exceptional career and teaching were featured last spring in the Eastern Magazine.

Home Science & Tech A new screening solution: COVID-Net
Kartikey Sinha
Over the past several months, PCR has become the gold standard for testing COVID-19 cases. But is it the best type of test?
"[PCR tests] have very high specificity, but people have recently found that sensitivity isn't so great, depending on when you measure it," Dr. Alexander Wong, Associate Professor at UW, and the Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging, said.
"A recent study also found that the longer somebody has had COVID-19, the less likely they are to be detected," Dr. Wong said."But the most important thing is that while PCR test tells you if someone has COVID-19 or not, it doesn't tell you about the progression of the disease."
As a potential solution, Dr. Wong has been collaborating with the COVID-Net project, an open source project aiming to improve detection via X-ray imaging.
"COVID-Net is an open source open access initiative where the underlying goal is to use deep learning in the case of COVID-19 screening," Dr. Wong said. "It's based on medical imaging, with chest X-rays and CT Scans being the primary ones, and we're expanding beyond that. These help us determine the level of progression of the disease, so the doctors and the clinicians can have a better idea on how to handle it." Open source projects are collaborative by nature, and COVID-Net is no exception.
"A lot of my students have become inspired by this initiative and joined our team. We've also had clinical institutes from around the world collaborating with us as they're interested in leveraging AI to help with the pandemic. We've also received a lot of support from a lot of corporations who believe in the cause and they've provided many resources to undertake this project," Dr. Wong said.
When asked about the progress in the past six months, Dr. Wong said, "We have actually released COVID X, which is the largest dataset of its kind with lung chest X-rays and people from all around the world have been leveraging it for their own experimentation, testing and development. We have also continuously released COVID-Net models for the world to use and expand upon -and they have. We recently released a COVID-Net CT model for detecting COVID-19 based on chest CT scans."
"We are treating COVID-Net as a complimentary technology. For COVID-Net, the actual acquisition process will be done in minutes and if it passes through AI and it is able to actually provide results in seconds. This way, doctors and clinicians can figure out atleast how to take care of a patient while they're waiting for the more accurate PCR test," Dr. Wong explained.
"The future for COVID-Net is quite interesting. We continue to release regular updates to our datasets as well as models so that the entire world can use it and build upon our own experiences," Dr. Wong said.
"We're also building an open source frontend platform so doctors and clinicians who are not experts on deep learning can use the platforms directly and visualise, organise their images and so on and so forth." Dr. Wong said.
Dr. Wong is looking for collaborators to join his research team and contribute to the advancement of COVID-Net.

I thought this story had an interesting premise, but I'm not sure about the execution.
Annica, for someone who walked through the mirror into the future, seemed to be far too calm and accepting of what went on. It didn't quite make sense for her to be that blasé about the situation, much less to be that excited over it. Her swift fall into love with Kenny also made little sense, since they barely knew each other before and yet she seemed to trust him implicitly when she met him with little basis for her trust. For that matter, Kenny's similar easy acceptance of her and their subsequent almost normal dating behavior seemed to me rather strange.
The issue over the magic mirror was also somewhat confusing -- it was never made to be that clear as to why there was an enchantment on the mirror, why there was such a harsh penalty for using the mirror, and how it came to be.
Then there was Annica's relationship with her mother, which I thought could have been much better handled. It seemed from the synopsis and from the beginning of the story that their relationship was strained, perhaps even almost non-existent. It was implied that her mother didn't care for her and saw her as mostly free labor that she exploited on a regular basis -- yet towards the end there is a sudden change of heart where her mother is concerned. It would perhaps have been better if there had been a bit more explanation and writing devoted to exploring her relationship with her parents, and especially her mother.
The last section of the story where all the drama and suspense was going on -- to a certain extent I felt like it seemed built up just for the sake of angst, suspense, and drama, not that it was actually integral to the plot or even helped it much. Mostly because it was clear from the very beginning that nothing serious was actually going to happen.

UK citizens want greater access to UK data, study shows
An Informatica study shows that UK citizens want greater access to public sector data to make informed decisions in areas including education and finance.
68 per cent do not believe the information currently available provides real value to them, 57 per cent of the respondents found the data confusing, 59 per cent do not trust the accuracy of the information and 68 per cent do not believe they have sufficient access to government data about themselves or public sector data as a whole.
62 per cent of respondents ranked education ahead of financial services, and public healthcare when asked what type of public sector data they would most benefit from.
Access to a broader range of education data could help parents make more informed decisions about which school would best suit their family's requirements, based on data such as examination and Ofsted results, location and catchment area, course portfolio and specialist subjects.
Presenting data on financial services and healthcare in a more digestible system could also improve insight into investment, tax, benefits and local medical services.
Initial government proposals set out a clear objective by all political parties to personalise the data access experience for UK citizens looking for public sector data on themselves or on a particular government department.
43 per cent asked would like to access public sector information via a personalised online web portal, whilst 32 per cent would prefer to access it from individual departmental websites updated in real time with refined search capabilities, to tailor their search specifically according to the information they need.
Charles Race, VP Northern Europe at Informatica said: "People expect to find the information they need online to support informed decision making for personal matters, but without the ability to trust this data, its purpose is void."
"If not managed correctly, these complex government data sets simply present a sluggish and frustrating experience for users."

The flu arrived early in the United States and "the floodgates are open"
The floodgates have opened on the flu, with millions of people across the United States reporting illness and nearly 3,000 flu deaths since early October, according to the latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
With the start of the holiday season and large family gatherings, cases are expected to continue to rise.
"We will likely see an increase in the coming weeks," Lynnette Brammer, epidemiologist and team leader of the CDC's National Influenza Surveillance Team, told NBC News.
So far this season, about 6.2 million flu cases have been recorded, according to the latest data from the CDC.
Twelve of the flu deaths were in children.
Of the samples reported to the CDC this season, about 76% are of the H3N2 strain of influenza A. The rest are H1N1. Both versions of the flu can cause serious illness.
However, most flu patients sick enough to end up in the intensive care unit at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville have tested positive for H1N1, said Dr. Todd Rice, director of the care unit. VUMC medical intensives.
"People don't have a good appreciation of how serious flu is," Brammer said.
Influenza made an uncharacteristic appearance earlier this year, along with Covid and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which flooded hospital systems. Several years of limited viral activity have meant that few people have an immune system capable of fighting the most virulent infectious diseases.
"We are dealing with three highly contagious respiratory viruses," said Dr. Ashish Jha, White House Covid-19 task force coordinator. "Our expectation is that we will probably see an increase in the coming weeks," especially with flu and Covid.
RSV's push, however, may have peaked, Jha said. "At the national level, the numbers seem to be dropping," Jha said. "We'll want to see over the next few weeks where that happens. But the preliminary evidence right now is quite encouraging."
Why is this flu season so harsh?
Typical flu seasons intensify in December, peaking in January or February, said Dr. Julie Morita, executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
With the early start of the flu season this year, many people were infected before they had a chance to get vaccinated, making it easier for the virus to spread.
"There was a larger pool of unvaccinated people than there would have been in regular seasons," said Morita, who is also a former Chicago public health commissioner. "That might explain why we're seeing such high disease rates right now."
As of Nov. 28, "influenza-like illness" or ILI, which includes influenza, activity was highest in the Southeast, as well as New York City and Washington, D.C.CDC
CDC's latest influenza activity data shows 'very high' spread across much of the country, especially Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, Carolina South, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, as well as New York City and Washington, D.C.
There is no evidence that the spread of the flu will die down anytime soon.
"It's a safe bet that influenza activity is going to continue for several weeks or months," Brammer said.
Intensive care units are already seeing an increase in the number of sickest patients.
"Three weeks ago we weren't seeing a lot of flu in our intensive care unit," Rice said. "Then the floodgates opened."
Today, 30 to 40 percent of Rice's most intensive care patients have the flu.
It blames, in part, the early arrival of the flu.
"It resulted in more people being at risk because there were fewer people vaccinated."

Home Comics Manga REVIEW: A shot at redemption comes in HELL'S PARADISE: JIGOKURAKU
REVIEW: A shot at redemption comes in HELL'S PARADISE: JIGOKURAKU
Jigokuraku is alternately a violent action series and a psychological thriller with compelling, complex characters.
Morgana Santilli
Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku
Story & Art: Yuji Kaku
Translation: Caleb Cook
Lettering: Mark McMurray
While works like Naruto would have readers believing that ninja are busy thwarting evil at every turn, the truth of the matter is that real ninja were assassins, trained to carry out their mission regardless of the ethical implications. In Yuji Kaku's more grown-up vision of the ninja world, Gabimaru is one such assassin, known far and wide as "the Hollow," because he appears to have no remorse for the reckless violence he perpetrates in the name of his missions. At the outset of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Gabimaru has been caught and sentenced to death for his various misdeeds, but he seems incapable of dying. Readers soon find out that although he claims to be ready for death, he is unconsciously using his ninjutsu to counter each attempt on his life because he desperately wants to be reunited with his wife.
Gabimaru's executioner, the seemingly calm and composed Sagiri, offers him a chance to see his gentle wife once again. She was able to discern that Gabimaru was trying to leave his bloody past behind for the love of his wife, and she proposes that he, along with a score of other hardened criminals on death row, go on a mission to seek out the Elixir of Life on behalf of the shogun in order to win their freedom. The catch is that he must be accompanied by Sagiri, and if he fails to comply to the rules laid out by the shogun, she is instructed to execute him on site. Gabimaru accepts, thus beginning a tenuous relationship between prisoner and executioner as they embark on a journey to a strange island whose exploration has resulted in the lost lives of many of the shogun's finest soldiers.
Jigokuraku is alternately a violent action series and a psychological thriller. While Sagiri struggles with her aptitude as an executioner, Gabimaru is constantly at war with the part of him that knows only killing and the side that wishes to become a truly good person, deserving of his wife's love. There are horror elements, as well, with the eerie creatures (human-faced moths, anyone?) lurking on this mysterious island which can cause frightening damage to trespassers. Kaku's artwork is ink-forward and fluid, with even the most gruesome scenes rendered with a sick sort of beauty. The weight of the story is elevated by morsels of humor, especially from Gabimaru whose reputation belies his remarkably laid-back personality.
Gabimaru's off-putting odd charm and Sagiri's quiet complexity compliment each other well, and though Sagiri's fears are frequently depicted by her standing nude with the bloody souls of her victims clinging to her bare flesh, she is firmly grounded as a character with motivations, fears, and goals. She is the lone woman in a male-dominated clan of executioners, tasked with monitoring possibly the most dangerous — and dangerously unpredictable — assassin of her time. She is a character to watch as the series progresses.
Readers who wish to follow Gabimaru and Sagiri on their arcane quest can find chapters available to read through the Shonen Jump website (not currently available through the app). The first print volume will be available on March 17, 2020, and can be preordered now through the VIZ Media website or at your local comic shop.

You'll never guess who won a national innovation award…..
Sustainable Homes won the Housing Innovation Award for Most Innovative Consultant 2016, last week. The following article explains the awards and reason for the win.
As winter approaches, concern about fuel poverty is ever-present – at least if you are one of the 2.3 million households in the UK still at risk. There are many ways to address fuel poverty, but energy efficiency improvements remain the best, most sustainable way to reduce energy bills whilst keeping homes warm and healthy.
Sustainable Homes is proud to announce its participation in the National Housing Federation's Annual Conference and Social Housing Exhibition 2014.
The Technology Strategy Board (TSB) funded the retrofit of over 100 homes across the UK, with an ambition of achieving an 80% reduction in the in-use CO2 emissions of each property. The properties were then monitored over a year. Sustainable Homes are not aware of any other project going to such detail on retrofitting homes. The findings of the latest report provide a blue print for the future of retrofitting in the UK.
Many people are assessing how they can most cost-effectively reduce fuel poverty. If residents have lower energy bills they are better able to pay their rent and/ or other essential items. There are a variety of ways of doing this – behaviour change and improving properties being the main two.
A carbon and fuel poverty tool has gained funding to integrate real time monitoring. The funding, announced last week, will significantly help landlords understand the homes they manage and resident energy bills.
Blog written by Richard Griffiths, Development Manager, Parity Project. Before any landlord embarks on a retrofit programme, the very first step should always be for them to make sure that they fully understand the current state of their stock, and how installing energy saving and generating measures can improve it. Without doing so, they risk delivering over-expensive and under-performing programmes, and can be left at the mercy of better-informed energy companies and contractors.
200,000 homes assessed – what have we learnt?
Sustainable Homes has been undertaking Carbon Reduction Options for Housing Managers (CROHM) assessments across the country for Housing Associations, Councils and ALMOs. This service, provided in partnership with Parity Projects, the award-wining retrofit consultancy has allowed clients to better understand thier stock amongst other benefits. Looking at all the housing providers who have had their stock assessed, what does it tell us about the state of the sector's stock, if anything?

Games Remnant Arena
Download Manual (4.75MB)
A Quick Guide to Chassis
Remnant Arena is a card and dice based combat game for two to four players.
After the Aliens visited and forced the Clean Slate policy to be used to remove them, the human population moved underground to avoid the radiation. The enclosed spaces made conventional warfare unfeasible, therefore all territorial or political disputes are resolved through combat on the surface. It was decided that due to the background radiation on the surface, the current shortage of population, the number of obsolete robots and their lack of blood bypassing any qualms about the live televising of warfare, the remnants of each commune's Mechanised Peacekeeping Corps were drafted in for this purpose.
The game can be played by two to four players, either as team against team or all against each other. Each of the robot chassis have a different style of play and special abilities. There is a large collection of salvaged weapons and equipment that can be picked up as you move from cover to cover, all the while making sure you don't overexert yourself and leave yourself open to a counterattack.
There's a strong mix of strategy and luck when you play the game. Each player draws from a deck of terrain cards that they can take cover behind, when they reach that cover they find out if they've found any useful salvage. Moving from cover to cover uses up agility that could otherwise be used for dodging enemy attacks, however moving around is the only way to pick up better kit or ammo.
Each player takes control of one of twelve different chassis, each with individual strengths and weaknesses that can change the tactics for and against them. The Scout is a fast robot that needs to stay in cover due to it's weak armour, however due to it's speed it can often find lots of good equipment. The Hulk is almost the opposite, it's very slow so you have to conserve ammo whenever possible. That said, you can withstand massive punishment so it's okay to occasionally find yourself not quite able to reach cover. See 'A Quick Guide to Chassis' on the left to see more details of each chassis type.
You start with some basic supplies like the Machine Gun or a Smoke Bomb, as the game proceeds you start picking up much more powerful equipment. If you're really lucky you may find the Minigun, Explosive Rounds or even get access to an Orbital Laser (not accurate enough to hit your opponent but very handy for removing obstructions).
This is a very complex game but the whole design has been written with the goal of making it completely intuitive. If you think a card or a rule works in a particular way then chances are it does, all the information you need is on the cards in front of you. If you hide in trees then beware fire, taking cover behind a truck is good as long as there's nothing dangerous in the tank. If you hide in a cave then it's great defense but with only one way out it's risky when you leave and you need to hope nobody throws a grenade in there with you.
Rather than having a massive board, this game uses a small board for each player to track their stats and equipment along with several decks of shared cards. This allows people to sit where they want at the table and still see everything that they need to.
The game has now completed testing, we will keep this page updated with any news on the release schedule.
