{% include "web/_shared/contributors/mattgaunt.html" %}

En esta guía, te explicaremos el proceso de compilación de un sitio nuevo con
Web Starter Kit y te brindaremos información para que aproveches al máximo las herramientas que ofrece.

## Fases de desarrollo

Durante el desarrollo, hay tres comandos que usarás con frecuencia: `gulp serve`, `gulp` y `gulp serve:dist`. Observemos cómo cada uno contribuye al proceso de desarrollo.

### Inicia un servidor local

La primera tarea que analizaremos es la siguiente: `$ gulp serve`.

A simple vista, mediante esta tarea se activa un servidor HTTP local que te permite ver tu sitio
en un navegador, pero si lo analizamos en profundidad también se usan algunas herramientas adicionales.

#### Live Reload

A través de la función LiveReload, se elimina el proceso de actualización tradicional que consiste en hacer cambios en el
editor, ingresar en el navegador, presionar CTRL-R y luego esperar que la página
se vuelva a cargar.

Con Live Reload, puedes realizar cambios en tu editor y ver cómo se aplican
inmediatamente en cualquier navegador con tu sitio abierto.

#### Pruebas en diferentes dispositivos

La función Browser Sync te permite probar tu sitio en diferentes dispositivos. Todos los desplazamientos, los toques en pantalla o
las teclas que se presionen se compartirán en todos los navegadores conectados.

Esto solo funciona si ejecutas tu sitio con `gulp serve`. Para probarlo, ejecuta
`gulp serve`, abre la URL en dos ventanas del navegador, una al lado de la otra, y recorre
una de las páginas.

#### Automatiza los prefijos

Cuando quieras apuntar a diferentes navegadores, deberás usar prefijos de proveedores para
asegurarte de poder usar las funciones de cada uno de ellos. Web Starter Kit se encargará de automatizar todos los
prefijos.

En nuestro ejemplo de CSS (hojas de estilo en cascada), que se muestra a continuación, no se incluyen los prefijos de ningún proveedor:

    .app-bar-container {
      display: flex;

      width: 100%;
      height: 60px;
      position: relative;

      flex-direction: row;

      margin: 0 auto;
    }

Durante el proceso de compilación, se ejecuta la CSS a través de la herramienta Autoprefixer, y de allí surge el
siguiente resultado final:

    .app-bar-container {
      display: -webkit-flex;
      display: -ms-flexbox;
      display: flex;

      width: 100%;
      height: 60px;
      position: relative;

      -webkit-flex-direction: row;
          -ms-flex-direction: row;
              flex-direction: row;

      margin: 0 auto;
    }

#### Revisa tu JavaScript

JSHint es una herramienta que examina tu código de JavaScript para verificar si hay posibles problemas
con tu lógica de JavaScript y [ejecuta las mejores prácticas de codificación](//www.jshint.com/docs/){: .external }.

La herramienta se ejecuta cada vez que compilas el proyecto o, si ejecutas el servidor gulp,
cada vez que realizas un cambio en un archivo de JavaScript.

#### Compila tu Sass

Si ejecutas el comando serve, los cambios que realices en los archivos
Sass de tu proyecto se compilarán en una CSS y se les agregará un prefijo. Después de esto, tu
página se volverá a cargar con Live Reload.

Para quienes nunca hayan usado Sass, el proyecto se describe a sí mismo como un "lenguaje de
extensión de CSS". Básicamente, es una CSS con algunas funciones adicionales. Por ejemplo,
se agrega compatibilidad con variables y funciones, que te permiten estructurar tu CSS
en módulos y con capacidad de reutilización.

### Compila una versión de producción de tu sitio

Puedes compilar una versión de tu sitio lista para la producción con el
comando simple `gulp`. A través de este comando, se ejecutan algunas de las tareas que ya mencionamos y otras tareas adicionales
cuyo objetivo es hacer que tu sitio se cargue de forma más rápida y eficaz.

Las principales tareas que se llevan a cabo mediante la compilación para la producción son las siguientes:

#### Estilos de compilación

Primero, se compilará el Sass en tu proyecto. Luego de que se haya compilado el Sass
, la herramienta Autoprefixer ejecutará todas las CSS.

#### Revisa JavaScript para detectar problemas

En el segundo paso del proceso de compilación se ejecuta JSHint en tu JavaScript.

#### Compila las páginas HTML

En el paso que sigue, se examinan tus archivos HTML en busca de bloques de compilación para concatenar
y minificar JavaScript. Luego de que se verifica JavaScript, el proceso de compilación
minifica la página HTML.

Gracias a la minificación, se puede reducir la cantidad de caracteres en el archivo final de JavaScript eliminando
los comentarios o los caracteres de espacios que no son realmente necesarios, y
a través del uso de algunas otras técnicas. De este modo, se reduce el tamaño del archivo final y se acelera el tiempo de carga de tu
sitio.

El término "concatenación" hace referencia implica pegar el contenido de varios archivos en uno solo. Esto
se hace para que el navegador solo tenga que enviar una solicitud a un servidor,
en lugar de varias solicitudes, lo cual es más rápido para los usuarios.

El bloque de compilación tiene todo lo necesario para administrar los archivos de JavaScript que minificamos
y concatenamos. Analicemos un ejemplo de bloque de compilación:

Un bloque de compilación es, simplemente, un comentario con un formato especial.
Todos tus archivos de JavaScript incluidos en el bloque de compilación se unirán
(concatenarán) y se minificarán en un archivo con el nombre main.min.js, y
la compilación final reemplazará estas secuencias de comandos por la etiqueta de secuencia de comandos:

#### Optimización de los activos de imagen

En el caso de los archivos JPEG y PNG, los metadatos de la imagen se seccionan, por lo que no es necesario
representar la imagen. Los metadatos incluyen información; por ejemplo, la cámara empleada
para tomar la foto.

En cuanto a los archivos SVG, se eliminan los atributos que no son necesarios o se eliminan todos los espacios en blanco
y comentarios.

#### Copia de fuentes

Mediante esta tarea sencilla, se copian nuestras fuentes desde la aplicación en el directorio final de compilación.

#### Copia de cualquier archivo desde el directorio raíz

Si durante el proceso de compilación se encuentra algún archivo en el directorio raíz del proyecto, este se copiará
también en la compilación final.

### Prueba tu compilación para la producción

Antes de introducir elementos para la producción, debes asegurarte de que todo funcione
como esperas. Mediante el comando `gulp serve:dist` se compila una versión de la producción de tu sitio,
se inicia un servidor y se abre un navegador. **No se cuenta con las herramientas Live Reload o
Browser Sync**, pero es un método confiable para probar tu sitio antes de implementarlo.

## Configuración de Web Starter Kit

El funcionamiento de Web Starter Kit se basa en NodeJS, NPM y Sass. Una vez que estén instalados, tendrás todo lo que necesitas para comenzar a usar Web Starter Kit en tus proyectos.

### Instala estas dependencias únicas

Existen dos conjuntos de herramientas que debes instalar en tu equipo antes de compilar
sitios con Web Starter Kit: NodeJS y NPM, y Sass.

#### NodeJS y NPM

Las herramientas de compilación de Web Starter Kit requieren Node y NPM. Node se usa para ejecutar Gulp, el ejecutor
de tareas. NPM se aplica en la descarga de los módulos necesarios para realizar ciertas tareas
en Gulp.

Si no estás seguro de contar con NodeJS y NPM, abre un símbolo del sistema y
ejecuta `node -v` para verificarlo. Si se abre Node, verifica que la versión coincida con la versión actual
en NodeJS.org.

Si no obtienes una respuesta o tienes una versión anterior, accede a NodeJS.org y
haz clic en el botón verde grande Install. NPM se instalará junto con NodeJS
de forma automática.

### Configura tu proyecto de Web Starter Kit

El primer paso es acceder a [/web/tools/starter-kit/](/web/tools/starter-kit/)
y descargar el zip y descomprimirlo. Esta será la base de tu proyecto, por lo que debes cambiarle el nombre a la carpeta y colocarla en alguna parte adecuada de tu equipo. De aquí al final de esta guía, llamaremos a esa carpeta `my-project.`.

A continuación, debes instalar las dependencias locales para Web Starter Kit. Abre un
símbolo del sistema, cambia el directorio que se encuentra en la carpeta de tu proyecto y ejecuta las siguientes secuencias de comandos para la instalación de
npm.

    cd my-project
    npm install
    npm install gulp -g

¡Listo! Ya tienes todo lo necesario para usar las herramientas de Gulp en Web Starter
Kit.

Note: Si ves errores de permiso o acceso como EPERM o  EACCESS, no uses sudo a modo de solución temporal. Consulte esta página para obtener una solución más eficiente.

Cut the tomatoes in quarters lengthways and put them in an oven dish.
Drizzle olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, pepper and dry herbs mix over the tomatoes.
The roasted tomatoes are delicious warm or cold in salads, served as a side to meat or poultry or fish, even in sandwich.


In his quest to find the best way to grow edibles without pesticides, Mr Teo Hwa Kok, 55, designed a "growing tower" made out of PVC pipes.
In community gardens found in housing estates, schools and even offices, urban farms are taking root in Singapore.
Such farms are not ornamental gardens. Instead, gardeners plant vegetables and fruit such as cabbage, basil and lime to eat.
Urban farms have always been popular with gardeners in Singapore, especially those who volunteer at neighbourhood community gardens.
The National Parks Board's popular Community In Bloom programme - a nationwide gardening initiative which started in 2005 - has more than 1,000 community gardening groups today. About 80 per cent of the groups in Housing Board estates grow edibles in their community gardens.
But urban farming has become more high-tech and, well, urban.
Urban farmers have started growing food in restaurants and taken over unused rooftop carpark spaces to set up garden plots.
Three urban farms stand out for their ingenuity.
The first is by a group of engineering students who have combined two aquaponics methods to get a larger harvest with more variety.
The second is by a businessman who used to sell raw materials for pesticides. He has invented a "growing tower" that does away with chemicals.
The last and most photogenic is by architecture practice Woha, which started an edible garden on the rooftop of its Hongkong Street shophouse office.
The gardening enthusiasts in the office have designed a photogenic farm, filled with lush greenery and decorated with stylish outdoor furniture.
Staff harvest vegetables and herbs such as kangkong and lemongrass to put in their salads or cook for office parties.
The Straits Times checks out these three urban farms.
When it comes to starting an urban farm, creating a good-looking set-up isn't usually top on the to-do list.
But for Woha, a home-grown award-winning architecture practice known for working greenery into its buildings, such as Parkroyal on Pickering hotel, urban farms can be useful and pretty.
The firm used the rooftop of its Hongkong Street office shophouse as a test bed for a 2,100 sq ft organic urban farm with more than 100 species of edible plants, including kangkong, basil, pandan, dill and bittergourd, which are shared among the staff.
Other than providing food, it is also a scenic place for staff to relax and destress, even if they are not interested in gardening.
The project, which cost $50,000, was completed last month.
Two rows of aquaponics planter beds, brimming with edible greens, are housed in sustainably treated pine wood boxes. The heights of these boxes have been designed so that gardeners need not bend over or squat when tending to the plants.
Behind these planters is a metal frame that is fitted with more planter boxes placed at different heights.
Flowering vines such as passionfruit and vanilla twine and creep up the metal frame. Some have even extended themselves across the wires overhead.
When more of these vines grow to maturity, they will create a canopy that will provide some shade in the open-air area.
Other highlights include an aquaponics system, which consists of a tilapia fish pond and a sloped planter bed. The system has water running through custom-made stainless steel water spouts. Across a short landing of wooden steps is a serene pond, centred by a tall kaffir lime tree.
Outdoor tables and chairs have been put in so that Woha's staff can pop up to the farm for a break.
Members of the firm's gardening club gather every Friday and spend about an hour tending to the plants.
A gardening workstation for potting and propagation and a large tank that collects rainwater to water the plants are kept out of sight at the back of this urban farm showpiece. The office also makes its own compost from food scraps.
Architectural designer Jonathan Choe, 28, who is the head of the gardening club, says they are looking to rear chickens there too.
He was part of the core team, including Woha founders Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell, that designed and built the farm.
He says: "We're not a commercial farm, where we grow vegetables just for food. It's also a beautiful sky garden, which the staff can enjoy."
In a corner of Eng Kong Cheng Soon community garden in Lorong Kismis stands an industrial-looking set-up that contrasts sharply with the thriving greens in the soil.
A fish tank, filled with black African tilapia, is connected to long grey pipes which have cut-out holes in them. The seedlings of leafy vegetables are planted in net pots placed in these holes. Their roots dangle in the pipes and absorb the nutrient-rich water flowing through.
Above the fish tank is a container filled with clay pellets. Edible plants grow here, watered by the fish tank too.
The entire set-up is shaded by a plastic canopy that lets sunlight in, but keeps rain out.
This hybrid aquaponics system has yielded about 6kg of vegetables, such as butterhead lettuce, spring onion and Chinese cabbage, in the last two months.
The bountiful harvest is the result of a final-year project by three engineering students at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The students built the system from scraps they found in their school's workshops. It took a few months to design and construct the 251 sq ft system, which is about the size of a room in an HDB flat.
Aquaponics combines aquaculture, the raising of edible fish, with hydroponics, growing vegetables without soil.
There are three ways to set up an aquaponics system, though common elements include having a fish tank and a soil-free plant bed. Both fish and plants are cultivated in one system. The fish waste provides organic fertiliser for the plants and the plants filter the water for the fish.
The students kept these basic features and combined two aquaponics methods - media-filled beds and Nutrient Film Technique - into one system, allowing them to grow a greater variety of plants.
The media-filled containers are good for growing plants such as tomato, brinjal and chilli. These have long stems that are kept sturdy by the clay pellets.
Leafy vegetables, which have shorter stems and long roots, are better suited for the Nutrient Film Technique - grown in net pots.
The fish can also be eaten once they are fully grown. The set-up is fully automated so they have to check in only once a week.
The students decided to work out of the community garden as they would be among seasoned gardeners. Ms Boo Jia Yan, 23, says: "There was a lot of experimentation and we had little knowledge of farming. Here, we were able to get advice about what could be improved."
They have plans to fit in high-tech features such as solar panels, which can generate electricity to power the system and install a device that allows for remote monitoring.
The set-up has attracted interest from two home owners.
Associate professor Lee Kim Seng of NUS' mechanical engineering department, who supervised the project, hopes more people will take on urban farming. "It's a very easy set-up. Why not utilise the waste to grow something good?"
At a multi-storey carpark rooftop in Kang Ching Road, 164 "growing towers" covered in leafy green vegetables rise to the sky.
Standing at 1.8m tall and lined up next to one another, these gardening systems are the result of years of research and development by Mr Teo Hwa Kok, 55, chairman of organic farming company Citiponics.
They have been used to produce about 25 types of vegetables and herbs, such as butterhead lettuce, spinach, dill, kailan, sweet basil and mizuna, a member of the mustard family.
At the base of each tower is a tank filled with water and nutrients. The mixture is pumped up to the top of each tower and flows down by gravity through a series of seven pipes arranged in a zig-zag manner.
The pipes have holes cut into them, creating pockets. Tiny clay pebbles, which have been cut to a specific size, fill these pockets. Seeds are placed among the pebbles, which is the growing medium for the plants.
As the water is constantly in motion, mosquitoes cannot breed. Also, no pesticides are used.
This is an improvement over some traditional hydroponics systems, which use water as a growing medium. This means that water can be stagnant in some parts.
Mr Teo says his version is lighter as it uses less water and can be built to any height.
The produce, which is harvested by volunteers from a nearby Residents' Committee centre, is given free to needy residents in Taman Jurong.
Mr Teo has been involved in the farming business for a long time, though he was not always a farmer. The Malaysian moved to Singapore in 1987 to work for a pesticide company. He quit in 1993 and set up his own venture selling raw materials used to make pesticides.
But as he read more reports about pesticides being misused and affecting food safety, he started to look into organic farming.
"It gave me an uncomfortable feeling so I decided to look into other ways to grow plants."
In 2001, he set up a 3ha organic farm in Malaysia, growing vegetables in soil. It did not take off and he gave it up about two years later.
He calls it a "very expensive experience" as consumers were not ready to pay high prices for pesticide-free vegetables then.
About seven years ago, he decided to try organic farming again and came up with the prototype for the growing towers.
He operates Citiponics with the help of Madam Jenny Toh, 55, who used to work in his pesticides business.
Citiponics has taken its growing towers to China and Malaysia.
On average, each growing tower costs about $4,800 and Mr Teo says it can last 20 years. A harvest from one tower can weigh between 5 and 10kg, depending on what vegetable is grown.
For his next green project, he wants to look into making pesticide-free feed for chicken and fish.
"Maybe one day, we can reduce the use of pesticides. Until then, we have to keep pushing ourselves to improve the safety of our food."

Review: The Midnight Sanctuary
Posted on October 15, 2018 by FireMarth
Open the Floodgates
How often do you look at games that release in Japan, hoping and praying that they'll eventually make their way west? Games that look intriguing or exciting, but, for one reason or another, nobody decides to localize it, so you'll never get to play it?
We're lucky enough to live in a time where it seems like nearly everything created overseas, from the biggest names to the most obscure titles, will eventually find their way westward. Outside of obscure visual novels and Japanese indie titles, it feels like nearly everything gets an English release eventually. Even then, fan translators and small localization studios will often help get those obscure and indie games into the hands of their niche western audiences.
Just a few gaming generations ago, though, it wasn't so easy. Fan translations were hardly a thing, and larger publishers were picky on which "weird Japanese titles" they thought would appeal to a western audience enough to bring over.
In a way, this led to us in the English-speaking world receiving a carefully curated selection of Japanese titles. Games that publishers presumably saw as the best of the best. I think this may be part of what colors the nostalgia of those who look back longingly at the JRPG "glory days" on the Super Nintendo, with so many localized games becoming instant classics. The thing is, we didn't actually receive games that may have had less-than-stellar reception, and in the days before the world was connected by the internet, we didn't even realize it.
Jumping back to today, with the seemingly endless flood of titles getting localized, those carefully curated days seem to be over. Everyone's bringing everything west, which means in some cases, we have to take the bad with the good.
Developed by Cavyhouse, localized by Carpe Fulgur, and published by Unties, The Midnight Sancutary was released in the west on October 4th, 2018, for Switch, PS4 (with PSVR support), and PC. The Switch version was played for this review.
Unenraptured
The Midnight Sanctuary is set in the village of Daiusu, a Christian village in Japan. The village was built during the Tokugawa era, when practicing the religion was banned, leading the village to be mostly closed off to the rest of the country. The people of Daiusu have since formed their own belief system, mostly revolving around a person known as the "Saint," who is foretold to come to the village and spirit the villagers away to Heaven.
In modern day, the village chief and the leader of the church of Daiusu have invited our main character, Hamomoru Tachibana, to the village in order to research and chronicle its history. Both the chief, Jyuan, and the church head, Kurosu, are hoping to learn more of the past of their village in order to modernize it. This, however, puts them at odds with the villagers, most of whom are still enraptured with the idea of the Saint…bringing things to a head when two mysterious young women appear in the village.
The Midnight Sanctuary is an incredibly short story, only taking around three or four hours to play from front to back, which I believe leads to the game's most glaring issue – the lack of character development. Hell, characterization in general is incredibly poor here. We hardly have any time to get to know the cast before the plot kicks into gear. The only thing we really learn about Hamomoru, the main character of the game, is that she really likes food. Jyuan and Kurosu, probably the most important secondary characters in the story, get maybe ten minutes worth of shallow backstory late in the game.
I can truly say: I didn't care about any of these characters. There was nothing to attach me to them, to make me interested in the events they go through in the plot. The game doesn't even seem to actively try to get the player to empathize with the main cast. Really, it seems like the opposite, as the writer's attempts at more poignant moments revolve around the faceless villagers rather than Hamomoru or the others. The same villagers who don't even get names; the game just refers to them as "Village Chef" or "Librarian."
For a game with such a short runtime, The Midnight Sanctuary sure seems to do its damndest to make those hours feel drawn out. Rather than presenting the game as a continuous story, the plot is told in various two-to-three minute long vignettes selected from a map screen. The basic gameplay loop is this: you select an area on the village map the game has made available to you, you watch Hamomaru interact with the villagers for a few minutes, then you get kicked back to the map. Repeat ad nauseam. Being kicked back to the map screen so often was just plain frustrating, really making the game's pace drag.
The vast majority of those story bits hardly matter in the grand scheme of things, either. Most of these vignettes are simply Hanomaru discussing whatever is currently happening with one of the many faceless villagers, often adding nothing to the overall story. This combination of a snail's pace and pointless conversations caused the first two hours of this game to take me nearly two weeks to complete; I had no desire to load up this game half the time.
To be fair, The Midnight Sanctuary does manage to pick up a bit in the final third of the game. The lead-up to the story's climax is kind of interesting, more so for the events happening than the characters involved. Once the climax hit, the game actually had me intrigued. Is everything finally going to come together? How is this situation going to be resolved?
Turns out the game wouldn't let me have any of that, as the finale is just a slap in the face. The plot is wrapped up in the span of about ten minutes, with none of the various conflicts really being resolved. I crashed back to reality and reverted to the mindset I had throughout the first two-thirds of the game: this game is wasting my time.
Really, I feel like The Midnight Sanctuary could've done more with its themes had it been handled by writers who gave a damn. The theme of modernization vs adherence to tradition is at the core of some of my favorite stories, which is what originally attracted me to playing this title. This theme is handled at a surface level at most here, which is massively disappointing. The setting here is an intriguing one, but it was hardly used to its full potential.
Cut Out My Eyes
I can always appreciate when developers experiment with the visual presentation of their games, but in The Midnight Sanctuary, something in the experiment when horribly awry. To be blunt: this game is ugly. The basic character designs are relatively flat and undetailed, with some seriously off-kilter animation and numerous clipping issues. The environments don't fare much better, often just being a mess of abstract shapes. Honestly, I could somewhat forgive just this alone, knowing that Cavy House is a two-man indy team – perhaps they just haven't developed their graphical skills yet.
The issue comes with this weird pseudo-psychedelic cut-out style that the game uses to texture most of the Daiusu villagers. The game's environments are overlayed on top of a still piece of artwork, with the villagers and some environmental assets represented as animated cutouts to this artwork. While an interesting idea in theory, it quickly becomes an utter mess if more than one villager is on screen at a time, and God help you if there's a lot of action or animation happening.
The soundtrack…or, often, the lack thereof…doesn't fare much better. Right away, the game boots up with was I presume was supposed to be the sound of winding up a music box. My first impression, however, was that it sounded like my speakers were crackling out and dying. The rest of the game surprisingly doesn't have music playing often, but when it does, it's often in wild contrast to what's actually happening in the game. Multiple times I would reading through a passage that was supposed to be dramatic, only to have it accompanied by bubbly bouncing synths.
Overall, The Midnight Sanctuary is a game with an interesting premise that never gets realized, ending up as a dud. The characters offer nothing to care for or get attached to and the plot's pacing is an absolute mess, wrapping up without answering the majority of its own questions. The visual presentation is much the same, an interesting experiment that ends up being an eyesore.
Visual novels can tell a short story and still offer up great characterization and a fulfilling plot. A number of games I count amongst my favorites, including Planetarian, Song of Saya, and Lucid9 are all sub-five hours yet expertly crafted. The Midnight Sanctuary just spends too much of its brief runtime focusing on unimportant interactions without actually developing the story.
There's nobody I can recommend this game to. While it may only be four hours long, it's four hours of your life that you'll never get back if you decide to play this.
~ Final Score: 3/10 ~

« Video: PFW – Who will win in the Wild Card playoffs: Texans or Bengals?
Kubiak Says that Phillips Will Not Be a Distraction to the Texans »
Texans Moving On; Win First Playoff Game in Franchise History Over Bengals 31-10
January 8th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in Game Stories, News, Opinions
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14) is sacked by Houston Texans defensive tackle Earl Mitchell (92) during the fourth quarte
Playoff football was back in Houston Saturday, and the Texans, at one point a team that looked like it could be the #1 seed in the AFC, were ready for it.
Andre scored on a 40-yard pass, and Arian Foster had a huge day on the ground, and the Texans ran to a 31-10 victory over the bungling Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday in an AFC wild-card game.
"This is something not just for me, but for the whole organization," the Texans star receiver said. "It's a very special feeling. That's probably the most I've smiled in a long time."
Rookie J.J. Watt helped with a TD on a pick late in the second half, and T.J. Yates had a solid day through the air. Foster raced to two touchdowns and 153 yards.
Watt came through with a leaping interception return for a touchdown late in the first half, Yates threw a pinpoint pass to Johnson in the third quarter and Foster followed with his second touchdown — a 42-yard run in the fourth quarter — to finish off the Bengals (9-8).
Houston will play at Baltimore (12-4) next Sunday, a rematch of a regular-season game won by the Ravens.
"I'm just very proud of all the guys, and the job they did," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "Hopefully, there are some more to come."
The Bengals were in the playoffs for the third time in seven seasons, but haven't advanced since beating the Houston Oilers following the 1990 season. They were done in this time by mistakes and a lack of pass protection.
"We have to get beyond this," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "We play in a very difficult division. We have to win games in the division, that is important and it sets up opportunities like this, all the time."
Watt returned the first of rookie Andy Dalton's three interceptions 29 yards for a score that broke a 10-all tie with 52 seconds left in the half. It sent the full house of 71,725 fans at Reliant Stadium into a frenzy, and the Texans into the locker room with all the momentum.
"You can see that they were all so proud of their team," Houston owner Bob McNair said of the team's long-suffering fans. "We want to have a team everybody can be proud of and want to feel an attachment to. I think they have that."
Dalton was 24 of 42 for 257 yards, while Yates was 11 of 20 for 159 yards in the first playoff game in the Super Bowl era matching two rookie quarterbacks. Foster's first TD was an 8-yard run in the first quarter.
The Texans' second-ranked defense had its best performance in several weeks, sacking Dalton a season-high four times. Houston also forced four turnovers.
"We got back to our type of football," Kubiak said, "and that was the key."
Houston used six draft picks on defensive players. The Texans took Watt with the 11th overall pick, a cornerstone for the reconstruction of the defense. He started all 16 games and led the team with 13 tackles for loss.
But he'd never picked off a pass.
Watt saw this one coming, measuring his jump when Dalton dropped back and snatching the ball with both hands. He sprinted to the end zone as the capacity crowd erupted, and he raised both hands after reaching the end zone.
"I was really just trying to put my hands up and get in the way of the passing lane," the 6-foot-5 Watt said. "It happened to kind of stick. I realized I had the ball so I just ran to the end zone just trying not to fall down."
Watt became the sixth defensive linemen to return an interception for a touchdown in postseason history — excluding the Super Bowl — and the first rookie to do it.
"It changed the momentum of the game," Houston linebacker Brian Cushing said.
Dalton rolled his eyes and shook his head as he walked to the Cincinnati bench and watched the replay on the giant scoreboard. It was just his second interception in his last seven games.
"We feel like we have a bright future," Dalton said. "It's still unfortunate that it ended this way."
The Bengals outplayed the Texans for most of the first half before that, holding down Houston's offense and controlling time of possession.
Late in the third quarter, Yates got away with a pass that safety Chris Crocker simply dropped. Three plays later, Johnson broke free from cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones and caught Yates' pass down the sideline to put Houston up 24-10.
"It was a touchdown if I would have caught it," Crocker said. "They made those big plays and we didn't and that's why they're moving on."
As Johnson rested on the bench, Foster walked up to him and gave him a bow, the running back's customary celebration after a touchdown. Foster has said that the bow is a Hindu gesture of respect.
The Texans rallied past the Bengals on Dec. 11 in Cincinnati to earn their first playoff berth. But they didn't look like they'd last very long after dropping their last three regular-season games.
Johnson said the losing streak proved to be beneficial.
"Everybody was riding high, the city was going crazy, we were in the playoffs for the first time," Johnson said. "Over those last three weeks, that brought us back down to reality and let us know what we needed to do."

Take a look at The Last of Us 2 coming together with machete-twirling chaos and mocap horses
By Connor Sheridan 18 April 2017
The Last of Us 2 is coming together in a motion capture studio somewhere in Los Angeles, and it has horses, machetes, and lots of green dots on people's faces. Ellie actress Ashley Johnson tweeted out this photo of her and Joel actor Troy Baker, showing them both all suited up in the studio (she was already putting in hours way back in December). Does this go against those "Joel is dead" theories? I dunno, if he was a ghost/delusion in the teaser he could totally show up as a ghost/delusion in the game, too.
Back in LA, shooting some video game. I think it has zombies in it. pic.twitter.com/bGC8MvfSB8April 14, 2017
The behind-the-scenes looks get stranger from there. Here's a video from creative director Neil Druckmann of Shannon Woodward flipping around a dang machete. Well, it's just a plastic blue toy machete for now, but it will probably look a lot more threatening in the real game. You might recognize Woodward as the Host-sympathizing behaviorist from Westworld - she didn't appear in the first game so "machete enthusiast" is the only clue we have for her The Last of Us 2 character.
I'm a little uncomfortable with the ease that @shannonwoodward took to that machete. pic.twitter.com/tZG1n959UYApril 13, 2017
The best photo, though, is another one taken by Druckmann. His co-writer Halley Gross probably doesn't actually appear in the game so don't get start getting ideas about horseback shotgun charges. But that horse mockup means more equine adventures are very likely on the way. Hopefully your horse friend doesn't meet the same tragic end as poor old Callus, Joel and Ellie's steed from the first game.
Not gonna lie, my co-writer @Grosstastic scares me. pic.twitter.com/TrzgvDqJSgApril 14, 2017
If we're lucky, they're getting some good work done in that performance capture studio and not just horsing around all the time. You know, because we still don't have a release date for The Last of Us 2. And horses. I'm sorry. I'll let myself out right after I plug some of our other articles.
Check out our full news roundup on The Last of Us 2 for more details and some of the themes The Last of Us 2 may explore. Going now...

You walk in the door carrying your take-out coffee and get offended when you're told you'll have to leave it outside. You let your cell phone ring repeatedly. You let your child wander around. When you can tell it's getting close to the end you start gathering your stuff together, and right before the official end you walk out the door.
It's all pretty standard behavior in a movie theater, but I'm talking about church. I've seen all of this through the years, and much more, and it sickens me that we've reached a place culturally where such behavior is acceptable (by some) even in God's house.
People leaving during the altar call is the worst. There are souls hanging in the balance. If we really are Christians we should be praying for those around us. Unfortunately too many seem to think they're in a theater and the altar call is like the credits: Let's leave now to beat the rush.


FEI is working to undertand the impact of blockchain technlogy for senior-level financial executives. What are your thoughts?
The fervor around Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology is hitting new highs and lows. Bitcoin's value soared in 2017 from $1,000 to just under $20,000 before dropping down to around $13,000 before the new year. Seeing opportunity, companies are changing their entire business plans -- such as Long Island Iced Tea Corp. morphing into Long Blockchain Corp. -- to ride the valuation wave.
But despite the fervor of blockchain enthusiasts seeking to apply the technology to financial reporting and completely disrupting corporate disclosures, there are significant hurdles that sit at the core of modern accounting practice and audit methodology, says Joshua Coyne, assistant professor at the University of Memphis' School of Accounting.
Accounting standard setters have the cryptocurrencies on their radar, if not the accounting implications of blockchain in particular. This past summer the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) received a request from The Chamber of Digital Commerce to add a project around accounting for digital currencies to its Emerging Issues Task Force agenda.
A FASB spokesman said that the staff is currently performing research about accounting for cryptocurrency and will discuss the research with the Board at a future public board meeting.
While adopting a distributed ledger technology into modern financial reporting may seem like the next logical step, senior-level financial executives should realize that the structure of the audit and accounting under U.S. GAAP presents several issues.
First and foremost, according to Coyne, the distributed ledger system technology only recognizes a transaction if it's accepted by all parties on blockchain and its recorded. Put simply, if a transaction is recorded in the ledger it exists, and if it's not recorded in the ledger it does not exist. However, in modern accounting and financial reporting, transactions can live outside the ledger and still have an economic impact on an organization.
Coyne also argues that employing a distributed ledger in financial reporting assumes that all users have agreed to accounting treatments upfront, something that is unlikely given the constantly changing nature of finance.
For Coyne, and other financial reporting blockchain skeptics, it remains to be seen if it makes sense for financial leaders, standard setters and regulators to put more resources in to exploring the technology.

IN VALOR THERE IS HOPE
-TACITUS


I was six years old when my Dad was unlawfully killed at Hillsborough.
My dad was Jimmy Hennessy. He worked as a plasterer specialising in Artexing and was due to start working for himself before his untimely death. We lived in Ellesmere Port and I went to school there. My dad was a good man, respected and well liked. He was a man of few words but he was always kind and to the point, with the occasional witty joke. Going to watch Liverpool play was as normal for dad as going to work each day.
Saturday 15 April 1989 was the day our lives changed forever. My dad never returned home and was not identified until the following day.
My mum tells me that I was at a friend's birthday party that day, however, I do not recall it. There are many things about my childhood that I do not remember. Friends, hobbies, favourite toys: the majority of happy times have been wiped from my memory and replaced with trauma and extreme devastation. I do not remember my dad's voice, his smell, his laugh. I wish I could recover them.
Within four months of his death we moved to North Wales, hounded by press for weeks on end to the point where my mum had to take me into school late and collect me early to avoid them. My mum wanted to protect me and allow us to grieve in peace.
I grew up knowing snippets of information about Hillsborough although it was when I became a teen that I began to research more in depth. Reading the Lord Taylor Report gave me so much clarity, but it was soon quashed and replaced with further confusion when I came across the Stuart-Smith scrutiny as well as other coverage.
Looking back I realise that I spent my childhood as a lost soul, always emotional, and my teen years were spent in anger. As an adult I am diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and severe anxiety.
When I gave birth to my first son, Liam-James, I was so overcome with love and the realisation that my dad had felt that same love for me was instantaneous. With the help of my maternal family I knew that I had to do something.
We had never been told how my dad had entered the stadium, if he was helped or accompanied and my biggest fear was that he had died alone and frightened. Back then it was very difficult to know where to start and after years of writing letters and having doors slammed in my face I was told to contact Anne Williams, mother of Kevin Williams, who was also killed at Hillsborough. Anne welcomed me with open arms. She introduced me to the Hillsborough Independent Panel and her solicitor and guided me as much as she could for the very short years that I knew her.
When the Hillsborough Independent Panel released their report, I spent three years piecing together statements, timelines, footage, sightings and even made the decision to do a public appeal in the hope that I could trace my dad's steps. I never for one second expected to be left in the absolute devastation of finding that my dad was alive when found on the pitch.
For 24 years I was told that my father's death was due to traumatic asphyxiation, however at the Judge Goldring inquests (2014-2016) it was proven that this was not the case and in fact, my father had died as a result of "inhaling copious amounts of stomach contents"; he was left without medical treatment and to die.
That has been the most difficult part of this whole process, knowing that he was one of the 96 who could have survived and was potentially alive until 4.09pm, 54 minutes after the original inquests had ruled a cut-off point of 3.15pm declaring that all individuals were beyond medical help by that time.
While trying to process all of this new information, deal with the stress, fresh trauma and grief, I have been trolled and told countless times to "move on" and "let it go". Most recently I was accused of "living off the back of my father's death". However, ask yourself, if your loved one walked out of your house this morning, attended a public event and then returned tomorrow in a body bag, with only a handful of information that was completely irrelevant to their death, would you settle for that?
You cannot grieve if you do not have the knowledge and the tools to do so.
You cannot move on when you are stuck at a dead end.
Having the evidence there in your hands yet not having anyone to believe in you is like standing in a room full of people and screaming at the top of your lungs, yet no one hears your cries.
You keep living, existing almost, but you always end up back at the road you were left on 29 years ago.
I had a choice to make. I either let the Hillsborough disaster continue to consume me or I stood up for the truth that I had in black and white and I became my dad's voice. I didn't want my three sons to have the childhood grief that I had, nor did I want them to learn to give up and be dictated to.
So, I did what I believed was right for my dad and I have absolutely no regrets in doing so.
Today marks another huge point in history. Judge Sir Peter Openshaw recently spent two weeks hearing submissions arguing that Hillsborough police commander David Duckenfield should not stand trial for his professional role and/or failings on the day of the disaster; however, after taking into consideration the legal arguments, Judge Openshaw has ruled that Duckenfield should stand trial for 95 accounts of gross negligence manslaughter, 10,667 days after the disaster.
This fight has never been about revenge. It was simply about truth. Learning how our loved ones went to a football match and never came home, if there is accountability to be held for that, then so be it.
We are all responsible for the words we speak, the decisions that we make and the actions we take. And for as long as there is evidence to be heard and truth to be told, I will continue to fight for my dad, as well as the 95 others who needlessly lost their lives, and the hundreds of survivors who stood stood tall when fingers were being pointed at them. For the families who fought when I was too small too and the family members, like Anne Williams, who laid the down the pathway to truth but who never got to see this moment. We owe it to all of them to uncover the truth and let the victims rest in peace once and for all.
As I write this I am pregnant with my fourth child. I only pray that the future holds closure and a life where I don't have to keep explaining to my children why their grandfather's death is still being spoken about on the news.


Brothers Rudolf Dassler and Adolf Dassler started making shoes in 1924 and formed a company called Adidas. However, in 1948, Rudolf split from his brother's company, and started a company called Puma. Puma has since then grown to become one of Germany's largest maker of athletic shoes. It is a public limited company, which is listed in Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Puma employs more than 9,000 people and distributes its shoes in more than 120 countries throughout the world, generating more than $2.5 million in revenue per year. The company has headquarters in London, Germany and Hong Kong.
Actually, Puma as a brand is committed to contribute to the sports world by supporting sustainability, peace and creativity. And staying true to its values has made the company a global force. However, this is not the only reason why the company has recorded such a huge success. Its excellent marketing strategy has seen to it that it continues to be a global leader in athletic shoe making. Apart from shes it has also forayed into manufacturing of sports gear, watches and other accessories.
Puma has a wide range of footwear, sports goods, and sportswear and fashion accessories. Puma is also the main producer of enthusiast driving shoes and race suits. As matter of fact, the company is the sole produce of NASCAR and Formula 1. In addition to that, the company has partnership with BMW and Ferrari.
Puma uses national brand ambassadors to promote its product line. Product diversification strategies include production of gymnasium equipment, trekking equipment and Nutrition and Fitness consultancy. Product diversification strategy is designed to make the company more profitable and attract a diversified customer base.
The company's advertisement strategy in India focuses more on revenue generation from cricketing equipment and sponsoring Ranji trophy. But the company also spends a lot of money advertising in print media and designing creative billboards. Also, there is a greater focus on football gear revenue.
Sales promotion is also another marketing strategy employed by Puma and this comprises of various short-term incentives that encourage more purchases and trials of the products.
Puma is also playing its public relations game well. For instance, the company sponsors trophies in order to promote and protect its image.
Puma shoes are mostly distributed to multibrand storefronts as well as the exclusive Puma stores that can be found in major cities in the world. This necessitates a wider selection of shoes and accessories to customers than the competition. With big distribution network coupled with harnessing resources and experience, it is a brand available almost everywhere.
Also, Puma is continuously focusing on retail expansion as can be seen with its aggressive opening of new stores in various countries throughout the world. This is not only meant to bring the products closer to the consumer but also drive its brand and generate profits. As a matter of fact, Puma has vowed to continue to expand its consumer base and full integrate its retail stores online.
Puma's product prices are affordable when compared to higher priced competitors like Reebok and Adidas. The pricing strategy employed is designed to offer competition to its rival companies. Moreover, Puma normally uses premium pricing strategy because Puma views its brand as premium. Thus, Puma will be higher priced when compared to a competitor like Bata. Adidas and Reebok are the only closest competitors for Puma, pricing of whom is comparatively higher than Puma. Due to the brand name it enjoys, the pricing of Puma products look convincing most of the times.
Thanks for the heads up. Made the changes.
I've been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Aurora has a personality of its own with a unique mix of flea markets, antiques, hardware stores, furniture, clothing, convenience stores, restaurants, video stores, florists, gifts, and more.
Aurora citizens support a large number of events at the local saddle club and arena, including junior rodeos, mule rodeos, horse shows, and bull rides, as well as sponsoring trail rides and many other activities. Events such as Octoberfest, Apple Fest, and Erntfest, are all within a short drive and are held annually providing great food and entertainment.
Off the beaten path and out of the ordinary is an Amish community which includes a bakery, cabinet shop, and quilting shop. The friendly yet shy Amish live much as they always have without many of the modern day conveniences. Stop in and get some fresh baked goods or view the hand made items available. This community is between Aurora and Mt. Vernon, off Hwy. 39 by turning left on P Hwy. toward the land fill.
Aurora, the Summit City of the Ozarks, is within a short thirty minute drive to a variety of recreational facilities, most of which are state maintained. Fishermen enjoy the thousands of acres of fresh water lakes and the streams and creeks that boast some of the best trout fishing in the Midwest. Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and Spoonbill caught in the local lakes continue to be some of the largest in the state. Turkey, deer, quail, dove, and rabbit seasons are a small sample of those governed by the Missouri Conservation Department, providing a host of enjoyable opportunities for outdoorsmen and women. Trail rides and canoe rentals offer locals another way to explore the more than 5,000,000 acres of Mark Twain National Forest. Also being developed and completed in many areas are hiking, walking, and bicycling trails.
Driving approximately one and half hours or less will take you in various directions to visit even more sites in Branson, where you can see live country music shows among other entertainment they provide, Carthage, the home of Precious Moments, Springfield, the 3rd largest city in the state of MO, or Eureka Springs which has tons of handmade gift items and art to view or purchase.
December 20, 1840, Joseph Rinker, son of a captain on General George Washington's staff who participated in the surrender ceremonies at Yorktown, settled on a farm, a part of which is now in the city limits of Aurora. He built this house, Aurora's first, the following spring on land now occupied by Aurora Hospital. On May 9, 1870, a Congregational minister and former Union officer, Stephen G. Elliott and his wife, Anna, acknowledged the plat of a new town to be called Aurora, donating 40 acres of their farm.
One day in November, 1885, was probably the single most important day in Aurora's first hundred years. On that day, workmen digging a well for Thomas D. Liles, a grandson of Rev. Samuel Liles who came to the township in 1843, ran into rock, set a charge of powder and blew up great chunks of pure galena ore. A company was formed to mine it; other discoveries followed one upon another. For a time it seemed as if shallow lead was to be found almost anywhere around Aurora.
Word spread over the central states that in Aurora a poor man could get a 300 foot-square lease, dig down a few feet and find riches in the form of galena, dry-bone, or silicate. From everywhere they came, by train, on horseback or in a covered wagon, leased ground and set to work.
The discovery of pure galena ore in the late 1800's was marked in Aurora's history by the coming of the railroad in 1872, lead and zinc in 1885, and the newspapers in 1899. The Gay 90's brought the good, the bad, and the ugly to Aurora. During this time there was prosperity, growth, and a flourishing town spirit. Pool halls, gambling halls, saloons, and men and women of "ill repute" were plying their trades. Fist fights were a common occurrence. Lumps or a black eye were considered enough to settle a quarrel. On the other hand, churches thrived and multiplied. Civic groups formed and held fairs, races, baseball games, and farmers' markets. Utility services became available and non-mining industries began to form in and around Aurora.
The first large industry, Majestic Milling, came to Aurora in August, 1905. The MFA Milling Company expanded the operation into one of the largest feed mills in the world. The giant grain elevators stand today as a tribute to the historical significance of the mills operation and a welcome to visitors entering Aurora from the north along the Ozark Mountain Parkway, Highway 265.
The Catholic Church was built in 1905 from bricks said to have come from Verona.

Sustainable Cities of the Future
TOPICS:City planningSustainable citiesUNited nationsWORLD BANK
Posted By: The Corner 7th November 2015
*This article was originally published by Fair Observer.
Nilanjana Sen | With over half the world's population living in cities, the 21st century has been described as the urban century. It is estimated that 75% of the global population will be living in cities by 2050.
The first urban settlements appeared as early as 3,000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley. Historically, cities have fulfilled various functions ranging from sites of pilgrimage, centers of trade and providing protection against enemies.
During the Industrial Revolution, cities developed a more prominent commercial function, attracting people from rural areas who moved to the metropolis in hope of benefiting monetarily from this shift. The urban population share in England increased from 25.9% in 1776 to 65.2% in 1871. In the early 19th century, this was due to immigration that was largely local in nature, but at the turn of the century natural increase was a major factor in shaping population growth.
The birth of the industrial city, however, came with its own set of limitations: declining infrastructure, congestion, squalor and disruption of social order. A growing concern throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries was the development of sustainable cities capable of accommodating a rising population, since the flow of people to urban areas could not be slowed down.
The beginning of the 20th century witnessed an urban expansion in other parts of Europe as well. By 1900, Paris had a population of 2.5 million people, and one-fifth of Germans and French resided in towns. London, with 1 million people in 1800, was unrivaled not only as the largest city in Europe, but also in the world. With a population of 8.6 million in 2015, London continues to be Europe's largest city, but has been outnumbered by Tokyo with 38 million in the global ranking.
Concerns of unprecedented population expansion find their way well into the 21st century. Measuring urban success, the City Prosperity Index developed by the United Nations Habitat defines a prosperous city not merely in material terms, but instead inclusivity and equity are important considerations. The cities that do this best often make their proud way onto the "Best Places to Live" surveys.
Why are Sustainable Cities Relevant?
The United Nations Habitat report on climate change notes that cities are not investing adequately in tackling climate change, and unplanned urbanization has led to environmental degradation. Today, even as cities cover less than 2% of the Earth's surface, they consume 78% of the world's energy.
City planning often cannot cope with the pace at which population is expanding. It is estimated that today, 863 million people live in slums, and much of this growth is witnessed in the developing world. According to a World Bank study on urban poverty, over 90% of the urban growth is taking place in the developing world, and the population in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will double in the coming two decades.
But various new models of urban planning have been developed to deal with the environmental costs of an expanding population and the consequent social risks of the city's inability to accommodate them.
Concepts such as walkable cities are developing to reduce urban traffic, the increasing popularity of biking as a mode of transport aims to reduce motorized vehicles on the roads, and smart cities have added technology as an important component while designing inclusive cities aimed specifically at engaging effectively with citizens.
The Smart Cities Project in India focuses on the use of technology to create safe cities. Women's safety is central to the 100 Smart Cities Initiative that aims to incorporate increased surveillance of public spaces through security devices such as CCTV cameras and the development of an efficient emergency response system as key features of a smart city.
To ensure inclusive growth, it is imperative that relevant policies are devised to accommodate the informal settlements and equip them to deal with everyday challenges such as access to employment opportunities, health care and sanitation.
This is particularly relevant for the people who build the cities we live in. The construction industry creates employment for over 110 million people worldwide, and it is estimated that 75% of them are in the developing world, most of whom work in the informal sector. In the recent past, large-scale migration from South Asia to the Middle East for employment opportunities has taken place. Migrant construction workers make a significant contribution to their home economies in the form of remittances, but they often face the risk of exploitation, irrespective of whether they are legal or illegal.
According to the International Trades Union Confederation, a total of 432 Indian and Nepali construction workers have died between 2011 and 2013. The Guardian, however, notes that in 2014 alone, one Nepali migrant died every two days, so the real figures are most likely much higher.
As urban populations grow and cityscapes expand, sustainable cities take their place on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals agenda, as building urban resilience frameworks becomes essential to ensuring a better future for the global population.
The ideal city would find space for human existence defined in terms of comfort, accessibility, environmental awareness and inclusive social policies, since it is ultimately the human face of the city that breathes life into it.

Audi's EV Ambition Could Rival That of Tesla
Author: Viraj Shah
When it comes to electric vehicles, Tesla is a force to be reckoned with. However, traditional auto manufacturers are quickly catching up with the American company. The best inline is Audi, the German automaker that is making headlines with its e-Tron.
Why is the brand faring in the market?
The EV market is still maturing, and the first vehicle from traditional automakers that are giving Tesla some serious competition is Audi's e-Tron. The $75,000 car is Audi's first venture into electric automotive, and the bet has finally started to pay off. Currently, the car contributes 5% to the company's sales mix.
In the US, the company sold 856 e-Trons in May alone. Tesla still took the lead as it sold 1000 units during the same month. However, if the German automaker is compared with Jaguar I-pace, the difference is clear. I-Pace sold only 228 units in May.
However, from a more comprehensive perspective, e-Tron's numbers don't look too small. May was the first month that the car was available at dealerships in the US. The performance specs of the vehicle rival that of its combustion-engine peers from the same parent. It comes with 400-horsepower running on a 95-kWh battery. It offers an off-road mode and all-wheel drive and comes with a 4,000-pound towing capacity too. Audi's statement luxury is visible with the walnut wood trim and leather interiors.
Why is the e-Tron a special car?
According to Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis at AutoPacific, e-Tron ends the auto industry's years-long search for a credible Tesla rival. He said,
"The Audi E-Tron is among the first to meet Tesla head-to-head with a luxurious long-range product. The E-Tron has the usual levels of Audi fit and finishes, something all Tesla products are lacking in, and it looks nice."
The car comes with its own shortcomings. It has a shorter 204-mile range when compared with Jaguar I-Pace, Model X and two upcoming models- M-Byte from Byton, a Chinese auto company and the highly anticipated EQ C from Mercedes-Benz. The good news is that the car charges quickly and adds 54 miles for every 10 minutes of charge. Within 30 minutes, a user can charge their car up to 80% of its battery-range.
To combat its American rival, the German automaker is teaming up with Electrify America to bring up a network of 300 highway charging stations. Another 650 chargers will be put up at metro locations by the end of 2019.

Sonora, Texas, is a wonderful place to fill the gas tank and purchase a soda or cup of coffee at the convenience store. There isn't much in Sonora, I don't think, but they do have friendly people and great rooms. I hear the steaks are pretty good, as well. I may have to stop in again some time and eat some that of that beef!
The first heavy rain of the journey occurred as I approached El Paso. I love rain on a long journey. You just slow down a little bit to stay safe, and enjoy the change in scenery. Gray and dreary can actually be beautiful at times. El Paso is a very nice town.
This is one of the best billboard marketing campaigns I've encountered on a road trip. The Thing in Arizona teases with many mysterious billboards over hundreds of miles of highway. Stop there to eat or shop, and take the $1 tour. They have some really cool stuff, and they have The Thing. Seriously, what is that damn thing?
This is an example of the stuff featured in the museum. They display real relics from the past, many of which had me wondering about their actual value. Some of the stuff should probably be in the Smithsonian or some place like that. The two old, crotchety looking fruitcakes pictured here add a lot to this display of a 1937 Rolls Royce, thought to have been used by Adolf Hitler.
Mystery of the Desert. What is it? Looks like a dead corpse to me, but you might have other thoughts.
Here's a close up of the The Thing's face. Freaky.
I took this photo somewhere in Texas. Much of the stretch of highway between San Antonio and El Paso looks just like this. Hours and hours of asphalt and desert. The drive from Houston to southern California is one I've undertook many times over the years. This is a road trip I thoroughly enjoy. The drive seemed quicker and more enjoyable this time than ever before. I reckon I'll drive this stretch of highway, either westbound or eastbound, many times in the future. Miles and miles of smiles!
I'm now in the Los Angeles area, relaxing in a room just east of the city. Keep an eye on my Twitter for updates. Have a good one!
OMG! I begged Dad to stop on the numerous trips through AZ and after more than a decade of nagging and recounting of my many disappointments in the South West, he caved (Dairy Queen not enough?)!
The Thing was only $1 thank god.;) Personally obsessed with truckstops and Curios. Sonoro is super dog-friendly (even big dog). El Paso is underrated and friendly. The Things Billboards need to be restored and placed in some kind of South West Billboard Museum, like Freemont St (Vegas).
P.S. A $1 well spent, would be a visit with Hercules the Giant Horse (Belgian Draft)! Always at San Diego County Fair! Luv this Blog!

Microsoft, Amazon and Apple are gearing up for an aggressive tablet computer battle in the UK, in the lead up to Christmas.
Microsoft has revealed it will launch its first ever tablet in the UK on 26 October, the day after Amazon launches its Kindle Fire tablet range in the UK.
Meanwhile, Apple is expected to unveil an iPad Mini tablet on the 23 October after sending out an invite that claimed, "we've got a little more to show you".
Apple is renowned for launching devices shortly after revealing details of products at its much hyped press conferences, meaning the rumoured iPad Mini is likely to launch well before Christmas.
The Microsoft Surface tablet will cost £399 for the entry level version, rising to £559 for the 64GB version.
Microsoft has already unveiled the first ever advert for its tablet computer, but Microsoft is not commenting on whether the US-made ad will air in the UK.
Amazon's seven-inch Kindle Fire HD with 16GB storage will cost £159 when it launches in the UK. It will be available through retail partners including Waterstones and Carphone Warehouse.
Apple and Amazon are increasingly squaring up to each other as speculation grows about the potential release of an iPad Mini, which would compete directly against the Kindle. Amazon is also bringing an 8.9 inch Kindle Fire to the UK to rival the iPad.
Google sells the Nexus 7 tablet in the UK, which it makes in conjunction with tech manufacturer Asus.

Bob Dylan's and Keith Richards' opinion on Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson was born in Inglewood, California back in 1942 and became one of the most influential musicians of all time because of his praised work with The Beach Boys. Wilson was the mastermind behind classic albums like "Pet Sounds" (1966), "Smiley Smile" (1967) and "Wild Honey" (1967).
Over the decades many of his peers gave their opinion on him and the Beach Boys. Two of those artists were the legendary Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
What is Bob Dylan's and Keith Richards' opinion on Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys
Bob Dylan started his career in 1962, one year after the beginning of The Beach Boys. Even though they had a completely different style of music and songwriting, Bob Dylan appreciated the music that Brian Wilson and the band was making.
In an statement on Brian Wilson's official website, Dylan praised him, saying: "Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. The records I used to listen to and still love, you can't make a record that sounds that way. Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks. But you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today," Bob Dylan said.
In a conversation with Rolling Stone magazine back in 1987, Dylan talked about the time that he recorded his classic album "Desolation Row" (1965) and he said that The Beach Boys at the time were doing something that has never been done before.
"It didn't bother me that people didn't understand what I was doing, because I had been doing it long before they were around. And I knew, when I was doin' that stuff, that that hadn't been done before, either. Because I'd known all the stuff that had gone down before."
Bob Dylan continued:
"I knew what the Beatles were doin', and that seemed to be real pop stuff. The Stones were doing Blues things — just hard city blues. The Beach Boys, of course, were doin' stuff that I didn't think had ever been done before, either. But I also knew that I was doing stuff that hadn't ever been done before," Bob Dylan said.
Dylan was part of the Brian Wilson song "The Spirit Of Rock and Roll" that also had Electric Light Orchestra's Jeff Lynne. The track was part of Wilson's unofficial album "Sweet Insanity" that was recorded from 1986 to 1990. But that album was rejected by Sire Records because of the inclusion of a rap song "Smart Girls" and the lyrics from Wilson's former controversial psychologist Eugene Landy.
Two decades before, in 1965, The Beach Boys had covered Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Chagin" for their album "Beach Boys Party!" in which almost all the tracks were covers. During the sessions for the album they had also recorded Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind" but the version was not included on the record.
The two musicians are great friends and Dylan even recorded a video in 2022 singing "Happy Birthday" to Wilson for his 80 birthday.
What is Keith Richards' opinion on Wilson and The Beach Boys
The legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is also a big fan of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. In an statement on Wilson's official website, the guitar player said he always did "well constructed songs".
"Round, round get around / I get around". I thought that was brilliant. Brian Wilson had something. "In My Room," "Don't Worry Baby." I was more interested in their B-sides, the ones he slipped in. There was no particular correlation with what we were doing. So I could just listen to it on another level. I thought these are very well constructed songs," Keith Richards said.
In an interview with Guitar World magazine back in 2002, Richards cited The Beach Boys when explaining the approach of the Stones when they decided to fire the late guitarist Brian Jones.
"We told Brian, 'If you don't pull your weight, you're not in, man. If you're not there when we're working. (Also) if you're totally fucked up when you are there…' It was the Beach Boys syndrome, you know? 'If it's gonna be like that,' we told him, 'we can't work together.' And he said, 'Oh, I've got my own plans and projects, you know.' Nobody expected that in a few months he'd be dead," Keith Richards said.

Der Zwergölbaum (Cneorum tricoccon), auch Dreibeeriger oder Spanischer Zeiland genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Rautengewächse (Rutaceae).

Verbreitung
Cneorum tricoccon ist im westlichen Mittelmeerraum verbreitet. Neben der Verbreitung auf allen Baleareninseln kommt die Pflanze auch im Osten und Süden der iberischen Halbinsel sowie in Südost-Frankreich, Sardinien, Ligurien und der Toskana vor (Straka et al. 1976; Traveset 1995b). Als typischer Standort gilt die küstennahe Macchie, in der die Pflanze meist von 50–500 m Höhe, maximal bis 1000 m Höhe vorkommt (Traveset 2002, Tébar & Llorens 1997). Sie wurde auch in Kuba eingeführt.

Beschreibung
Cneorum tricoccon ist ein fast kahler, immergrüner und trockenheitstoleranter Zwergstrauch oder seltener ein Strauch, der nur selten Wuchshöhen von mehr als 1 m erreicht, in Ausnahmefällen jedoch auch Wuchshöhen um 2 m erreicht (Riera et al. 2002).

Die wechselständigen, einfachen Laubblätter sind kahl, sitzend, stumpf, ganzrandig, feinstachelspitzig, schmal-lanzettlich bis verkehrt-eilanzettlich sowie bis zu 5 Zentimeter lang. Nebenblätter sind keine vorhanden. Die ledrige, steife Beschaffenheit der Blätter und ihre etwas eingerollten Blattränder können als xeromorphe Anpassung gewertet werden. Die Blätter sind einnervig.

Der Zwergölbaum ist andromonözisch, also mit zwittrigen und männlichen Blüten auf einem Exemplar. Die kleinen Blüten erscheinen achselständig, einzeln oder in kurzen, dreiblütigen Zymen. Die kleinen, gelb-grünen Blüten mit doppelter Blütenhülle sind meist 3 bis 4-zählig. Die kleinen Kelchblätter sind dreieckig und kurz verwachsen. Die länglichen, aufrechten Petalen mit ausladenden Spitzen sind bis 8 Millimeter lang. Es ist jeweils ein kurzes Androgynophor und ein Diskus (bzw. der Stiel des Androgynphors) ausgebildet. Bei den männlichen Blüten ist ein Pistillode vorhanden. Bei den zwittrigen Blüten sind die meist 3 bis 4 kurzen Staubblätter etwas kürzer, der drei- bis vierkammerige, -teilige Fruchtknoten ist behaart mit kurzem Griffel und gelappter Narbe.

Bei der Fruchtreife von Dezember bis Juli (Blüte zwischen November und Juni) entwickelt sich eine rötlich gefärbte, fleischige Spaltfrucht mit beständigem Griffel und Kelch, die in meist drei bis vier steinfruchtartige, rundliche, zweisamige, bis 6 Millimeter große Teilfrüchte zerfällt. Der hellbraune, zweikammerige Steinkern ist grubig.

Bestäubung
Die Bestäubung erfolgt durch verschiedene Hymenopteren. Im Speziellen werden von Daumann (1974) Apis mellifera (Honigbiene), Ceratina cucurbitina, Ceratina cyanea, Halictus gemmens, Halictus smeathmanellus und Xylocopa violacea als Bestäuber in Frankreich genannt. Auf Cabrera, wo Apis mellifera nicht vorkommt, tritt Plagiolepis pygmaea als zusätzlicher Bestäuber auf (Traveset 2002).

Pollen und Chromosomenzahl
Der Pollen ist tricolporat und 35 × 29 µm groß (Erdtman 1952) und die Chromosomenzahl beträgt nach Goldblatt (1976) 2n = 36.

Samenverbreitung
Cneorum tricoccon ist saurochor und als Verbreiter sind die beiden Eidechsen Podarcis lilfordi und Podarcis  pityusensis bekannt. Die Früchte werden von den Eidechsen gefressen. Nach der Darmpassage keimen die Samen aus, sodass hier von einer Endozoochorie bzw. Endosaurochorie gesprochen werden muss (Traveset 1995a, 1995b, Riera et al. 2002).
Seit etwa 250 n. Chr., also nachdem der Mensch Wiesel und Schlangen auf den Balearen eingeführt hat, gelten die erwähnten Eidechsenarten auf Mallorca und Menorca als ausgestorben, sodass noch andere Verbreitungsmöglichkeiten existieren müssen. Laut Traveset (1995b) übernehmen die später als Wiesel und Schlangen eingeführten Baummarder  (Martes martes) und Ginsterkatze (Genetta genetta) die Verbreitung. Im Gegensatz zu den Eidechsen scheint die Verbreitung durch die carnivoren Säuger jedoch nicht sehr effektiv zu sein, da die Säuger im Gegensatz zu den Eidechsen nicht alle Früchte von der Pflanze entnehmen. So gibt es in Menorca nur noch eine etwa 50 Exemplare kleine Population von Cneorum tricoccon. Fossile Funde deuten hingegen auf eine größere Verbreitung in früheren Zeiten hin.
Im Zuge der Umstellung auf andere Verbreiter haben sich scheinbar auch die Standorte der Pflanzen verlagert. Im Gegensatz zu den fossilen Belegen (Eidechse als Verbreiter), die eine Verbreitung der Pflanzen auf den Bereich zwischen Meeresniveau bis auf 500 m Höhe nahelegen, sind heute die Pflanzen auf bis zu 1000 m Höhe zu finden (Riera et al. 2002). Als Grund dafür werden in diesem Zusammenhang wieder die Marder und Ginsterkatzen genannt, welche vor allem in höheren Lagen leben.
